"text": "\"In This Entry John Brown's Raid Secession Crisis Destruction and Military Occupation The Cost of War Time Line Further Reading Share It John Brown's Raid Following the bloody encounters in Kansas in the mid-1850s, John Brown—a radical abolitionist who had been fighting against pro-slavery forces in Kansas—decided on a plan to end slavery. Brown came up with the idea to capture Harpers Ferry, its store of firearms, and spark a slave insurrection throughout the South that would lead to the collapse of slavery. Brown came to Harpers Ferry on July 3, 1859, to begin preparations for his abolitionist crusade. On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and twenty-one raiders invaded the town, and seized the United States Arsenal and Armory and Hall's Rifle Works. Ironically the first casualty of Brown's raid was Heyward Shepherd—a free black from Winchester, Virginia, who worked as a baggage handler on the railroad. After Brown captured Harpers Ferry, the town's citizens, supported by area militia, cornered Brown and his men in a small fire engine house. Finally, on October 18, a contingent of United States Marines under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee captured Brown. He stood trial and was executed on December 2, 1859. To many, Brown's raid signaled the Civil War's imminence. \"\" The war began not at Sumter,\"\" wrote future Confederate cavalry officer Turner Ashby, \"\"but at Harper's Ferry. \"\""

A Union force known as the Army of the Tennessee ( Major General Ulysses S. Grant) had moved via the Tennessee River deep into Tennessee and was encamped principally at Pittsburg Landing on the west bank of the Tennessee River, where the Confederate Army of Mississippi ( General Albert Sidney Johnston, P. G. T. Beauregard second-in-command) launched a surprise attack on Grant's army from its base in Corinth, Mississippi. Johnston was mortally wounded during the fighting; Beauregard succeeded to command of the army and decided against pressing the attack late in the evening. Overnight, Grant was reinforced by one of his divisions stationed further north and was joined by three divisions from the Army of the Ohio (Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell ). The Union forces began an unexpected counterattack the next morning which reversed the Confederate gains of the previous day. On April 6, the first day of the battle, the Confederates struck with the intention of driving the Union defenders away from the river and into the swamps of Owl Creek to the west. Johnston hoped to defeat Grant's army before the anticipated arrival of Buell and the Army of the Ohio. The Confederate battle lines became confused during the fighting, and Grant's men instead fell back to the northeast, in the direction of Pittsburg Landing."

"text": "\"The town of Ovid was formed March 5, 1794, at which time it was organized as a town of Onondaga County, when that county was set off from Herkimer. Ovid retained its original dimensions until 1817, when Covert was set off, and was again diminished in size when Lodi was taken from Covert and a part of Ovid, in 1826. These three towns, Ovid, Lodi, and Covert, comprise the original military town of Ovid, which contained one hundred six-hundred-acre lots. The present territory of Ovid embraces Military lots from 1 to 33 inclusive, except Lot 26, Lodi, and is the north part of the original town, bounded as follows: on the north by the town of Romulus, east by the centre of Cayuga Lake, south by the towns of Covert and Lodi, and west by the west shore of Seneca Lake, which is due north from Washington, longitude 77° west from Greenwich ; and the village of Ovid is in latitude 42° 41' north. The north line of the town is about seven and seven-eighths miles in length from lake to lake, and is a short distance south of the narrowest part of the County. The south line is about nine and one-third miles in length from east to west, and the width of the town north and south is about three and three-fourths miles. The central ridge of Ovid is about four miles from Seneca Lake, and attains a height of from five to seven hundred feet above its level, and a still greater height above the waters of the Cayuga, which is sixty feet lower than Seneca. The central and southern portions of this town are underlaid by the Genesee slate, succeeded by the Tully limestone in the eastern and western portions, more particularly noticeable in the ravines leading to the lake, beneath which occurs the Moscow shales of the Hamilton group of rocks found along the lake shores, and is the underlying rock in the northeast and a small portion of the northwest part of the town. Over all, the drift is deposited to a depth of from one to forty feet, which forms the basis of a naturally fertile and productive soil, containing more or less lime, and was in its natural state covered with a heavy growth of deciduous trees, except along the lakes and ravines, where pine, hemlock, and cedar are found. Among the forest-trees, the white-oak and basswood attained an elevation of one hundred feet, the latter flourishing to such an extent in the eastern central portions of the town that the region in an early day was denominated the “Basswoods.\"\""

Lee Soldiers Engaged: Union: 62,000 | Confederate: 50,000 Outcome: Confederate Victory Casualties: Union: 14,000 | Confederate: 8,000Second Battle Of Bull Run Summary: The Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Battle of Manassas) was fought August 28–30, 1862, during the American Civil War. It was much larger in scale and in the number of casualties than the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) fought in July 1861 on much of the same ground. In this second battle, Major General John Pope, appointed by President Abraham Lincoln in March 1862 to command the newly formed Army of Virginia, was soundly beaten by Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, due in part to Pope’s misapprehension of the battlefield, confused orders and the reluctance of other Union commanders to come to his aid. Confederate lieutenant general Thomas J. \"\"Stonewall\"\" Jackson and Lt. Gen. James Longstreet hemmed in and crushed the Federals. Unlike the full-scale rout of inexperienced Union troops that occurred during the First Battle of Bull Run, in Second Bull Run, Pope and his more experienced troops made a determined stand that allowed the army to retreat in an orderly fashion after darkness fell. In March, 1862, Lincoln demoted Maj. Gen. George Mc Clellan from overall command of Union armies, giving him command of only of the Army of the Potomac. A new Army of Virginia was formed from various elements and Maj. Gen. John Pope, whose family had close connections to Lincoln, was chosen to lead it."

It is the first American state capitol building designed after the Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and the first public building in the New World to be constructed in the form of a classical Roman temple. During the Civil War the building did not have the front steps or the legislative wings that exist today. From 1788 until 1904 the House of Delegates met in a large chamber on the second floor in the north end of the building. From 1840 until 1861 the Senate of Virginia met in a smaller chamber on the same floor in the south end of the building, with windows looking onto the portico. A private office for the governor was located on the east side of the third floor. Two new constitutions for Virginia were created by conventions meeting at the Capitol before the Civil War. Virginia's Ordinance of Secession The Virginia Convention of 1861, which had convened at Richmond in February to consider secession, moved on April 8 from the hall of the Mechanics Institute at Ninth and Franklin streets to the House of Delegates chamber at the Capitol after the General Assembly adjourned. On April 17 the Convention delegates voted 88 to 55 to secede from the Union, subject to ratification by the people of Virginia in a May 23 referendum. On April 23, per the unanimous consent of the Convention, Robert E. Lee entered the House chamber and accepted command of Virginia's military and naval forces."

President Abraham Lincoln recognized the importance of the Commonwealth when, in a September 1861 letter to Orville Browning, [1] he wrote: I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game. Kentucky gone, we cannot hold Missouri, nor Maryland. These all against us, and the job on our hands is too large for us. We would as well consent to separation at once, including the surrender of this capitol. [ 2] [3]Kentucky, being a border state, was among the chief places where the \"\" Brother against brother \"\" scenario was prevalent. Kentucky officially declared its neutrality at the beginning of the war, but after a failed attempt by Confederate General Leonidas Polk to take the state of Kentucky for the Confederacy, the legislature petitioned the Union Army for assistance. After early 1862 Kentucky came largely under Union control. Kentucky was the site of several fierce battles, including Mill Springs and Perryville. It was host to such military leaders as Ulysses S. Grant on the Union side, who first encountered serious Confederate gunfire coming from Columbus, Kentucky, and Confederate cavalry leader Nathan Bedford Forrest."

Philip Schuyler, commanding the New York Department, authorizing a deputy commissary-general of stores and provisions for that department, and immediately thereafter elected Walter Livingston to fill the office. On the 19th of July, 1775, a dispatch from Gen. Washington, dated Cambridge, July 10, 1775, reporting his assumption of command of the Army, and recommending, among other things, that Joseph Trumbull, of Connecticut, be appointed commissary-general of stores and provisions, was laid before Congress. After the same had been read and considered, the following resolution was passed:\"\" Resolved, That Joseph Trumbull be commissary-general of stores and provisions for the Army of the United Colonies. \"\" On the 29th of April, 1776, Congress, having had under consideration the report of the committee on supplying the troops in Canada, passed a resolution authorizing the appointment of a deputy commissary-general of stores and provisions for the Army of the United Colonies in Canada, and then elected Mr. J. Price to fill the office. In 1777, so much dissatisfaction prevailed with respect to the administration of the officers of the \"\"Commissary's Department,\"\" that the matter was made the subject of an investigation by Congress, resulting in the passage of a resolution on the 10th of June, 1777, instituting a new system, upon a different principle, under an elaborate code of regulations. The following extracts from the code, which constituted the resolution, show the principal features of the new system:\"\" Resolved — \"\"I. That for supplying the army of the United States with provisions, one commissary-general and four deputy commissaries-general of purchases, and one commissary-general and three deputy commissaries-general of issues, be appointed by Congress. * * *\"\" III.

For lists of battles organized by campaign and theater, see: Eastern Theater of the American Civil War Western Theater of the American Civil War Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War Pacific Coast Theater of the American Civil War Lower Seaboard Theater of the American Civil War Category: Battles of the American Civil War Some battles have more than one name; e.g., the battles known in the North as Battle of Antietam and Second Battle of Bull Run were referred to as the Battles of Sharpsburg and Manassas by the South. This was because the North tended to name battles after landmarks (often rivers or bodies of water), whereas the South named battles after nearby towns.

Of the estimated 8,000 occasions in which hostilities occurred in the American Civil War, this table and related articles describe the 384 battles that were classified in CWSAC's Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields. In addition to the status of battlefield land preservation (not included in this table) CWSAC rated the military significance of the battles into four classes, as follows: [1]Class A – Decisive: A general engagement involving field armies in which a commander achieved a vital strategic objective."

The original of this flag was a flag formerly in the collection of Boleslaw & Marie-Louise d'Otrange-Mastai. It is illustrated, in their landmark book \"\"The Stars and the Stripes,\"\" on page 136 wherein they identified it as the 1861 proposal for a flag of the new Confederate States of America. Its actual identification remains speculative, but the original flag was sold in 2002 at auction by Sotheby's as one of four pieces in a set for $7,768.00. A modern replica version, in miniature and full size, identified as a Confederate Battle Ensign, was widely available during the American Revolution Bicentennial Celebration in 1975. It was made by a short-lived California flag company, the Golden State Flag Company, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States. They were widely marketed through several grocery store chains, including Safeway and Pathmark. Republic of Mississippi Flag The \"\"Bonnie Blue\"\" Flag The first recorded use of the lone star flag dates back to 1810 when a troop of West Florida dragoons set out for the Spanish provincial capitol at Baton Rouge under this flag. They were joined by other republican forces and captured Baton Rouge, imprisoned the Spanish Governor and raised their Bonnie Blue flag over the Fort of Baton Rouge. Three days later the president of the West Florida Convention, signed a Declaration of Independence and the flag became the emblem of a short-lived new republic."

It’s clear that many of the old wounds inflicted so many years ago still cause pain. The Dakota War of 1862, (or the Sioux Uprising) began in a southern area of Minnesota near the present city of Mankato. In a location near the Minnesota River, a hunting party of four Dakota Sioux killed five white settlers. It was the spark that flared a wide scale decision by the Dakota Sioux to bring full-scale war against the United States. Broken Treaties The first killings of settlers by the Sioux were the culmination of more than 10 years of frustration beginning in 1851, when the United States government signed two treaties with the Dakota Sioux. These were the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, signed on July 23, 1851, and the Treaty of Mendota, signed on August 5, 1851. Both treaties were a raw deal for the Native Americans, but decades of conflict with white settlers had depleted the numbers, strengths and resources of Indian nations in that region. They had little choice but to make peace and accept the terms of the treaties – which ceded vast areas of Indian territory to the U. S. in exchange for money and supplies. The Dakota Sioux were relegated to an area by the Minnesota River that was about 20 miles wide, and which ran up and down the river for about 150 miles."

"text": "Lead Story2005Hurricane Katrina slams into Gulf Coast Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite Hurricane Katrina makes landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Category 4 hurricane on this day in 2005. Despite being only the third most powerful storm of the 2005 hurricane season, Katrina was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. After briefly coming ashore in southern Florida on August 25 as a Category 1 hurricane, Katrina gained strength before slamming into the Gulf Coast on August 29. In addition to bringing devastation to the New Orleans area, the hurricane caused damage along the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, as well as other parts of Louisiana. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city on August 28, when Katrina briefly achieved Category 5 status and the National Weather Service predicted “devastating” damage to the area. But an estimated 150,000 people, who either did not want to or did not have the resources to leave, ignored the order and stayed behind. The storm brought sustained winds of 145 miles per hour, which cut power lines and destroyed homes, even turning cars into projectile missiles. Katrina caused record storm surges all along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The surges overwhelmed the levees that protected New Orleans, located at six feet below sea level, from Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. Soon, 80 percent of the city was flooded up to the rooftops of many homes and small buildings."

Its damaging trek began on August 23, 2005 when it originated as Tropical Depression Twelve near the Bahamas. The next day, the tropical depression strengthened to a tropical storm, and was named Katrina; it proceeded to make landfall on the southern tip of the U. S. state of Florida as a minimal hurricane. In passing across Florida, Katrina did not attain any more strength but did manage to maintain hurricane status. After passing over Florida, the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico allowed it to rapidly intensify to the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history. Afterward, Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, and once more near the Mississippi / Louisiana border. Katrina progressed northward through the central United States and finally dissipated near the Great Lakes on August 31, when it was absorbed by a cold front.

While the normal standards for numbering tropical depressions in the Atlantic indicate that the old name/number is retained when a depression dissipates and regenerates, satellite data indicated that a second tropical wave combined with Tropical Depression Ten north of Puerto Rico to form a new, much more advanced system, which was then designated as Tropical Depression Twelve.

Financial institutions have responded admirably to the unique challenges raised by successive hurricane seasons with significant storms. Major challenges faced by these institutions included the following: Communications outages made it difficult to locate missing personnel. Access to and reliable transportation into restricted areas were not always available. Lack of electrical power or fuel for generators rendered computer systems inoperable. Multiple facilities were destroyed outright or sustained significant damage. Some branches and ATMs were underwater for weeks. Mail service was interrupted for months in some areas. Business continuity plans generally worked very well in enabling institutions to meet these challenges and to restore operations swiftly. However, the unprecedented magnitude and duration of the effects of Hurricane Katrina caused major disruptions that exceeded the scope of the disaster recovery and business continuity plans of some financial institutions."

The increase in major storms like Katrina coincides with a global increase of sea surface temperatures, which scientists say is an effect of global warming. The possible relationship between global warming and hurricane strength has been a topic of controversy for years. The new study supports another one released in July, in which climatologist Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed for the first time that major storms in both the Atlantic and the Pacific since the 1970s have increased in duration and intensity by about 50 percent.

Yet in the same period, the global number of intense Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has nearly doubled in number, jumping from 50 per five years during the 1970's to 90 per five years in the last decade. This increase is most evident in the North Atlantic basin, where from 1975 to 1989 there were 16 such hurricanes, but from 1990-2004 there were 25, a 56 percent increase.

Nothing can truly stop these types of storms, all one can do is know what to look out for and how to protect themselves as best as they can. Hurricane Katrina Hurricanes are natural disasters that have unfortunately been on the rise as the years have gone on. With any natural disaster, comes concerns for human health. Hurricane Katrina brought with it flood waters, the loss of power, little livable space left, and a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This in turn caused molds to grow, endotoxin levels to rise, little clean drinking water, spoiled food, West Nile virus concerns, and many other causes for a person to be sick."

[ 3] As Katrina made landfall, its front right quadrant, which held the strongest winds, slammed into Gulfport, Mississippi, devastating it. [ 4]The storm originated over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, from the merger of a tropical wave and the remnants of Tropical Depression Ten. Early on the following day, the new tropical depression intensified into Tropical Storm Katrina. The tropical cyclone headed generally westward toward Florida, and strengthened into a hurricane only two hours before making landfall at Hallandale Beach and Aventura, on August 25. After very briefly weakening to a tropical storm, Katrina emerged into the Gulf of Mexico on August 26 and began to rapidly deepen. The storm strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, [5] but weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on August 29, in southeast Louisiana."

The storm’s impact reverberated across the United States and the world, its tragedy still ringing fresh after a year. Though Katrina achieved the infamous distinction of being among the worst natural disasters in the United States, some good did come of the storm. Hurricane Katrina provided the perfect proving ground for the latest global atmospheric model developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The model was not designed to forecast weather, but it provides a picture of the processes that drive weather. By gaining a clearer understanding of the atmosphere, particularly as it relates to hurricanes, scientists can improve forecasts, and better forecasts can save lives. This image shows winds predicted by the model for August 28, 2005, the day Hurricane Katrina was at its strongest.

It ranks among the worst natural disasters of the twenty-first century, which in only fifteen years has seen such extreme weather events as the 2010 Haitian earthquake, Iran’s Bam earthquake in 2003, and the 2004 tsunami that devastated coastal areas of Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. But perhaps the most memorable aspect of the Hurricane Katrina disaster is the United States government’s profound failure to protect and serve citizens in the wake of the storm. President George W. Bush’s lethargic response to the hurricane intensified the trauma of the disaster, prolonging suffering and uncertainty for months after the storm. In a striking example of neglect, tens of thousands of storm refugees were left for days in the unimaginable filth of the Louisiana Superdome, a football stadium that had suddenly become a “refuge of last resort” for stranded residents. Bush’s slow and uneven response to the leveling of a predominately black city provoked Kanye West’s famous accusation — “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” — during a televised fundraiser for Katrina victims."

NEW ORLEANS – August 26‚ 2016 – As we approach the 11th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, people around the world will reflect on the devastating impact that the storm and subsequent levee failures had on New Orleans and the entire Gulf Coast region. Flooding. When the levees protecting New Orleans failed in August 2005, approximately 80 percent of the city was flooded. The business district and main tourist centers were relatively undamaged, but vast expanses of many New Orleans neighborhoods were inundated, making Katrina the largest residential disaster in U. S. history. The extent of damage varied greatly from one part of town to another. Some areas received one foot of flooding while others were submerged by more than 10 feet of water. Deaths. Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures resulted in the deaths of at least 986 Louisiana residents. The major causes of death include: drowning (40%), injury and trauma (25%), and heart conditions (11%)."

President George W. Bush, September 15, 2005 1Landfall Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a powerful Category 3 storm at 6:10 am CDT on Monday, August 29 in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The massive storm continued to move north, rolling over portions of the Louisiana coast before its eye came ashore near the mouth of the Pearl River in Mississippi. At the time, Hurricane Katrina had sustained winds over 115 mph and reported gusts as high as 130 mph. 2 The storm rapidly lost strength as it pushed inland through southern and central Mississippi; by 1:00 pm cdt, it had weakened to a Category 1 hurricane. 3 Six hours later, as it passed northwest of Meridian, Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina was further downgraded to a tropical storm. 4Hurricane Katrina generated violent waves and a massive storm surge before colliding with the Gulf Coast. 5 According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Hurricane Katrina produced a storm surge as high as twenty-seven feet in Louisiana and Mississippi. Surge waters flooded over six miles inland in many parts of coastal Mississippi and up to twelve miles inland along rivers and bays. Hurricane Katrina also produced “very significant” storm surges approximately ten feet high as far east as Mobile, Alabama, where it caused flooding several miles inland along Mobile Bay."

Check out these facts on the monster storm: ADVERTISEMENT• The overall destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, which was both a large and powerful hurricane as well as a catastrophic flood, vastly exceeded that of any other major disaster, such as the Chicago Fire of 1871, the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906, and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.• In the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Katrina battered the offshore energy infrastructure and forced the evacuation of more than 75 percent of the Gulf’s 819 manned oil platforms.• Two days before landfall, U. S. energy companies estimated that the approaching storm had already reduced Gulf of Mexico oil production by more than a third.• In all, Hurricane Katrina affected nearly 93,000 square miles across 138 parishes and counties.• Hurricane Katrina’s winds and a storm surge that crested up to 27 feet high dealt a ferocious blow to homes, businesses, and property on the coast and for many miles inland.• This storm surge overwhelmed levees all along the lowest reaches of the Mississippi River and the edges of Lake Pontchartrain.• The consequences for New Orleans, which sits mostly below sea level, were dire. Significant levee failures occurred on the 17th Street Canal, the Industrial Canal, and the London Avenue Canal. Approximately 80 percent of the city was flooded. The flooding destroyed New Orleans, the Nation’s thirty-fifth largest city.• From Morgan City, Louisiana, to Biloxi, Mississippi, to Mobile, Alabama, Hurricane Katrina’s wind, rain, and storm surge demolished homes and businesses. Large parts of the coastal areas of these States were devastated.• Katrina caused an estimated $96 billion dollars in damage.• The American Insurance Services Group (AISG) estimates that Katrina is responsible for $40.6 billion of insured losses in the United States• Estimated damage from Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans Flood: Housing — $67 billion; Consumer durable goods — $7 billion; Business property — $20 billion; Government property — $3 billion• Hurricane Katrina devastated far more residential property than had any other recent hurricane, completely destroying or making uninhabitable an estimated 300,000 homes.• Katrina far surpasses the residential damage of Hurricane Andrew, which destroyed or damaged approximately 80,000 homes in 1992. It even exceeds the combined damage of the four major 2004 hurricanes, Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne, which together destroyed or damaged approximately 85,000 homes.• The storm destroyed so many homes, buildings, forests, and green spaces that an extraordinary amount of debris was left behind — 118 million cubic yards all told. In comparison, Hurricane Andrew created 20 million cubic yards of debris.• The debris from Katrina, if stacked onto the space of a football field, would reach over ten and a half miles high. Hurricane Katrina: The Human Toll• When the winds and floods of Hurricane Katrina subsided, an estimated 1,833 people died directly or indirectly died from Katrina: (National Hurricane Center – Aug 10, 2006)• The vast majority of the fatalities — an estimated 80 percent — came from the New Orleans metropolitan area• 1,464 deaths in Louisiana from Katrina (LA Dept of Health)• Mississippi suffered greatly as well, with 238 fatalities (MS Dept of Health)• 14 deaths in Florida (CDC, March 2006)• 2 deaths in Alabama• 2 deaths in Georgia from Katrina• In Louisiana, approximately 71 percent of the victims were older than sixty, and 47 percent of those were over seventy-five.

While the normal standards for numbering tropical depressions in the Atlantic indicate that the old name/number is retained when a depression dissipates and regenerates, satellite data indicated that a second tropical wave combined with Tropical Depression Ten north of Puerto Rico to form a new, much more advanced system, which was then designated as Tropical Depression Twelve. Simultaneously, the trough in the upper troposphere weakened, causing wind shear in the area to relax, thereby allowing the new tropical depression to develop. In a later re-analysis, it was determined that the low-level circulation Ten had completely detached and dissipated, with only the remnant mid-level circulation moving on and merging with the aforementioned second tropical wave. As a result, the criteria for keeping the same name and identity were not met. Wednesday, August 24, 2005 [ edit]Katrina landing on southern Florida Twelve strengthened into Tropical Storm Katrina.

Explore what went right and what went wrong on \"\"Hurricane Gustav: Aftermath and Recovery,\"\" the next edition of Louisiana Public Square. Backgrounder Hurricane Gustav smashed into Louisiana three days after the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Category 2 storm made landfall on September 1st about 9:30 am, just over 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, in Terrebonne Parish. With peak winds of over 90 miles per hour, Gustav was the third major storm to hit the state in three years [Katrina and Rita both came in 2005]. Dry air and the high speed [16 mph] of the storm helped weaken it to a Category 1 hurricane within a few hours. But Gustav was no weakling. Early estimates indicate Hurricane Gustav produced 12 million to 15 million cubic yards of debris in the state, compared with 26 million generated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The storm’s northwesterly path created a wide swath of destruction that was surpassed only by Katrina."

It is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States. In all, Hurricane Katrina was responsible for 1,833 fatalities and approximately $108 billion in damage (un-adjusted 2005 dollars). On August 23rd, a tropical depression formed over the southeastern Bahamas, becoming Tropical Storm Katrina on August 24th as it moved into the central Bahamas. The storm continued to track west while gradually intensifying and made its initial landfall along the southeast Florida coast on August 25th as a Category 1 hurricane (80mph) on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. After moving west across south Florida and into the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina intensified rapidly and attained Category 5 status (with peak sustained winds of 175mph) for a period of time as she moved northwest on August 28th. Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi. The damage and loss of life inflicted by this massive hurricane in Louisiana and Mississippi was staggering with significant effects extending into Alabama and the western Florida panhandle."

The wind and air conditions must be just right, and once a hurricane is started it can be moved around by powerful winds. They are basically a very deadly cyclone of wind and water. They range from category 1 to category 5, with 5 being the worst. The most deadly hurricane was on September 8th, 1900 in Galveston, Texas. Hurricane Katrina was the worst storm in the past decade to hit the U. S., and caused lots of damage and got the people mad at their government. On August 23rd 2005 the hurricane started off as a tropical depression, but the next day it became a tropical storm. Its wind speed increased from 75mph, to 80mph, to 90mph, to 125mph in a few days time period.

The service was originally distinguished by only allowing content to be framed in a square (1:1) aspect ratio, but these restrictions were eased in 2015. The service also added messaging features, the ability to include multiple images or videos in a single post, as well as \"\"Stories\"\"—similar to its main competitor Snapchat —which allows users to post photos and videos to a sequential feed, with each post accessible by others for 24 hours each. After its launch in 2010, Instagram rapidly gained popularity, with one million registered users in two months, 10 million in a year, and ultimately 800 million as of September 2017.

"text": "November 11, 2016Social Media Update 2016Facebook usage and engagement is on the rise, while adoption of other platforms holds steady By Shannon Greenwood, Andrew Perrin and Maeve Duggan Over the past decade, Pew Research Center has documented the wide variety of ways in which Americans use social media to seek out information and interact with others. A majority of Americans now say they get news via social media, and half of the public has turned to these sites to learn about the 2016 presidential election. Americans are using social media in the context of work (whether to take a mental break on the job or to seek out employment ), while also engaging in an ongoing effort to navigate the complex privacy issues that these sites bring to the forefront. In addition to measuring the broad impact and meaning of social media, since 2012 the Center has also tracked the specific sites and platforms that users turn to in the course of living their social lives online. In that context, a national survey of 1,520 adults conducted March 7-April 4, 2016, finds that Facebook continues to be America’s most popular social networking platform by a substantial margin: Nearly eight-in-ten online Americans 1 (79%) now use Facebook, more than double the share that uses Twitter (24%), Pinterest (31%), Instagram (32%) or Linked In (29%). On a total population basis (accounting for Americans who do not use the internet at all), that means that 68% of all U. S. adults are Facebook users, while 28% use Instagram, 26% use Pinterest, 25% use Linked In and 21% use Twitter. Thanks in part to the growing number of older adults who are joining the site, Facebook use appears to be on the rise: The share of online adults who report using Facebook has increased by 7 percentage points compared with a Pew Research Center survey conducted at a similar point in 2015. In addition, the share of Facebook users who check in daily has increased slightly in the past year: 76% of Americans who use Facebook now report that they visit the site on a daily basis, up from 70% in 2015. What follows is a deeper examination of the current state of the social media landscape in America. Usage and demographics of social media platforms79% of internet users (68% of all U. S. adults) use Facebook Roughly eight-in-ten online Americans (79%) now use Facebook, a 7-percentage-point increase from a survey conducted at a similar point in 2015."

However, if you signed up recently, the chances are that you don’t have many followers. Thankfully, there are some simple and non-spammy techniques that anyone can use to gain followers on Instagram, and in this article you’re going to discover these techniques. My @i Phone PS Instagram Account I still remember how frustrating it was when I started my Instagram account. For the first few weeks I had practically no followers, and nobody liked or commented my photos. That’s when I decided to gain more followers on Instagram using the following techniques. Step 1: Pick a Clear Focus For Your Account Before you do anything else, you should pick a clear focus for your Instagram account. If your goal is to showcase your best photography, you should stick to it and never post poor quality photos of you hanging out with friends. The people who want to see your artistic photos probably don’t want to see the sandwich you ate for lunch today. Some Instagramers have found success in posting small snapshots of their daily life in a way that their followers can get to know them better, but this is much harder than simply sharing great photography."

"text": "Tips – Instagram Tips – Getting the Best Quality Alongside Facebook and Twitter, Instagram is one of the biggest social media applications available today. As a photographer, its a great way to quickly gain exposure, whether you want to take photos with your smart phone, or show off your shots from your fancy DSLR. However, if you’re planning on importing the shots from a SLR, its important to do a few things to help retain that quality, even if the picture is only 612px big. Here, I’ll go over some basic Instagram Tips to help you along your way…Tip #1 – Export Quality When you import something in to Instagram, its important to note that since there are millions of photos being uploaded a day, primarily from i Phones and other smart phones, that to make it quick and speedy, the image quality has to be low, without looking low. The compression techniques used for Instagram are tuned for the quality and size of photos taken with a phone, not with a high resolution DSLR. For instance, if you were to shoot an image with your 36mp D800, and then take that and straight put it on to Instagram, it is not going to look spectacular, its going to compress it to hell. This image of Asking Alexandria became pixelated when I uploaded it at too high of a resolution. Through trial and error, I’ve found, thanks to looking at the code on the Instagram website, that everything is uploaded to a very particular max range: Max width & height: 640px x 640px Max file size: 120k Resolution: 72dpi Because of this, when exporting from Lightroom I use the following settings: Keep in mind, if you were to export from Photoshop or any other program, you should try tweak your settings to be around this similar range. Exporting your images this way will help prevent any further compression from Instagram, and keep them looking bright, sharp, and beautiful, as you intended. Once you’ve exported a shot, you can either e-mail the image to yourself, copy it to your phone via USB, or hundreds of other ways."

Sprinkles on ice cream, sprinkles on cakes, sprinkle-covered donuts, cupcakes, or even pancakes. Whatever the bed, the #1 rule with sprinkles is to pile 'em high. When working with a batch of sprinkled sugar cookies recently, some of us here at My Recipes had a thought-- where the heck did sprinkles come from? So I decided to dive in and unearth everything I could find on the topic...which incidentally is a lot. As simple as sprinkles are, their origin story is anything but. Confetti Vanilla Frozen Custard Sprinkles are enjoyed en masse all over the world and in a variety of ways. In England, sprinkles are known as \"\"hundreds-and-thousands,\"\" which, as an American who had never heard that term before, I found to be incredibly accurate. I mean really, good luck counting them. In certain regions of the U. S., sprinkles are also called \"\"jimmies\"\" and are smattered heavily on pretty much any dessert item."

Learning the best times to post on social media is more than just turning a few clicks into a dozen. This data lets you understand your audience inside and out. And if you think these best times to post are the same across networks–you’d be sorely mistaken. Audiences change per network and even with each unique industry. Managing these communities takes more knowledge than a few hunches. That’s why it pays to fish where the fish are biting when publishing to social media. However, it’s important to know there’s no exact magical time of the day to solve your publishing problems. Most other similar reports just focus on one set time. But we think it’s better to work off a heat map of when users engage the most with brands."

In between she led a triumphant and tumultuous life blessed by an innate talent to convey powerful emotion through heart-stomping rock-and-roll singing. Born and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, a small Southern petroleum industry town, she gravitated to artistic interests cultivated by parents Seth and Dorothy Joplin. Click here Read More about Janis Joplin Janis broke with local social traditions during the tense days of racial integration, standing up for the rights of African Americans whose segregated status in her hometown seared her youthful ideals. Along with fellow band beatnik-reading high school students, she pursued the non-traditional via the visual arts and literature, Janis was especially taken with the blues. Discovering an inborn talent to belt the blues, Janis began copying the styles of Bessie Smith, Odetta and Leadbelly. She played the coffee houses and hootenannies of the day in the small towns of Texas. She later ventured to the beatnik haunts of Venice, North Beach and the Village in New York, eventually landing in Austin, Texas as a student at the University of Texas. This is the point in her life that some of her most memorable paintings were done, especially the series done in the student union. Returning home for a year to question her life direction, she excelled at college but was never content."

Rothchild produced the final Janis Joplin studio album, Pearl, as well as many a Doors disc, and the late producer was the perfect guy to tackle this tribute to Joplin featuring \"\"The Divine Miss M\"\" as \"\"Pearl\"\"/\"\"The Rose.\"\" In March of 1980, the version of \"\"When a Man Loves a Woman\"\" from this 1979 film soundtrack went Top 35, and Midler 's biggest hit followed her Oscar nomination, but it was a well-produced version of the title track, different from the album, which went Top Three, the gold single the biggest of her six hits up to this point in time. It's a strange twist of events, Bette 's previous 1979 album, Thighs and Whispers, has technically better sounds, Arif Mardin drenching it in the disco of the day, but that artificial episode pales next to this project, which features Lou Reed 's \"\"Rock 'n' Roll Animal\"\" bandmates guitarist Steve Hunter and drummer Whitey Glan. The concerts were recorded live during June and July of 1978, and there's more than a touch of the Mitch Ryder sound on \"\"Whose Side Are You On,\"\" the album opener. Hunter was in the Mitch Ryder band Detroit, which led up to Lou Reed 's ensemble, so the level of authenticity goes far beyond what filmmakers put into, say, the Blues Brothers. They utilize a different set of musicians on \"\"Love Me With a Feeling,\"\" the \"\"Turtle Blues\"\" of this story, vaguely referencing the original title to the Big Brother & the Holding Company album that tune came from with the \"\"sex, drugs and rock & roll\"\" chant. Bette Midler is a star perpetually evolving into icon, and this album's success, as well as the two hit singles it spawned, certainly helped the film, as much as the movie brought Midler to a new level of fame. Her voice is terrific on \"\"Midnight in Memphis,\"\" and the material is extraordinary for many reasons. Midler gets to show what a tremendous blues singer she can be, drawing from the many elements she's secured from years on the stage. It's a pivotal moment in her career."

"text": "\"Tweet The Queen of Psychedelic Soul On 26 October 1970, a wake was held at the Lion's Share in San Anselmo, California to celebrate the life of Janis Joplin. The singer who died of an accidental drugs overdose had left $2,500 in her will to throw a wake party in the event of her demise. The party was attended by her sister Laura and Joplin's close friends. Brownies laced with hashish were unknowingly passed around amongst the guests. Joplin was cremated in the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Mortuary in Los Angeles; her ashes were scattered from a plane into the Pacific Ocean and along Stinson Beach. Now, that sounds like a great party. I’m always surprised to read how people (who have died) have gone to such great lengths to plan and organize their own send-off. Which Janis obviously did, in great detail; $2,500 in 1970 was a lot of money. Can you imagine her writing all this in her will? “ Fifty bottles of dry white wine, 10 cases of beer…2 dozen hash browines.”"

"text": "What if they had lived to fade away? Rock and roll legends who died young imagined in old age with the help of photo technology By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 21:24 EDT, 19 November 2013 | Updated: 07:02 EDT, 20 November 2013722View comments Some of the greatest talents in modern music were cut down in their prime, leaving fans to guess what sort of heart-stopping guitar riffs Jimi Hendrix may have come up with had he lived past 27, or how John Lennon would have continued to shape rock & roll as we know it had he not been gunned down at age 40. While there's no way to know the genius rock anthems that could have been, thanks to these 12 age-progressed portraits commissioned by Sachs Media we can at least see what our idols might look like today. John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Keith Moon, Elvis Presley, Mama Cass Elliot, Kurt Cobain, Dennis Wilson, Bobby Darin, and Karen Carpenter have all gotten the treatment and the results make for a fascinating trip into a future denied by fate. The project was made possible by Michigan-based group Phojoe using state-of-the-art specialized technology, the same that is used to create the age-progressed photos used in the search for missing persons. ' Through this series of images, we hope to honor them and evoke some of the magic they brought to millions of their fans,' said Sachs Media's CEO Ron Sachs, who commissioned the project, 'even as we ponder what wonderful new contributions they still could have made. ' Break on through FROM the other side: No, Jon Voight hasn't given up shaving. This is the Lizard King himself - The Doors frontman Jim Morrison - if he'd lived to see the new millennium. Jim would surely be sporting that full head of hair and intense gaze had he not died of heart failure in a Paris bathtub in 1971 at the age of 27, after years of hard living and drug and alcohol abuse. If Morrison were alive today, he would be preparing to turn 70 years old on December 8Aging in Vain: The man who brought the Caribbean musical genre of reggae to the world, Bob Marley, would today be 68 had he not died tragically from cancer in 1981 at the age of 36."

But one of the biggest Hall of Fame bonuses is witnessing the warm feelings the ceremony inspires among people, if only for a few hours. One year the feuding members of Cream made nice. This year it was the lads (well, once they were lads) in Led Zeppelin, who marked the festivities by occupying the same stage without throwing any punches.

Rothchild and her new backing musicians. Rothchild was best known as the recording studio producer of The Doors, and worked well with Joplin, calling her a producer's dream. Together they were able to craft an album that showcased her extraordinary vocal talents. They used Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles."

"text": "\"Artistfacts ® Lyrics Song Images Songfacts ®This is based on a song called C'mon, God, and buy me a Mercedes Benz by the Los Angeles beat poet Michael Mc Clure. Joplin saw Mc Clure perform it, and on August 8, 1970 she reworked it into her own song, which she performed about an hour later. As recounted in the Patti Smith memoir Just Kids, before her show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, she went to a nearby bar (likely Vahsen's, later renamed Little Dick's) with her good friend, the songwriter Bob Neuwirth, and two more recent acquaintances, the actors Rip Torn and Geraldine Page. Joplin started reciting the line, \"\"Oh, Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz\"\" - the first line of Mc Clure's song. The four started banging beer mugs on the table to form a rhythm, and Neuwirth wrote down lyrics he and Joplin came up with on a napkin. They finished the song, and Janis performed it at the show, introducing it by saying, \"\"I just wrote this at the bar on the corner. I'm going to do it Acapulco.\"\" That show was recorded and widely bootlegged, as it was her penultimate performance and the debut of \"\"Mercedes Benz.\"\" Joplin played her last concert on August 12 at Harvard Stadium, and died on October 4. The song is a social commentary on how many people relate happiness and self-worth with money and material possessions."

In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$ 750 million has been raised in his name, as of January 2018. [ 1]Fox was a distance runner and basketball player for his Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, high school and Simon Fraser University. His right leg was amputated in 1977 after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, though he continued to run using an artificial leg. He also played wheelchair basketball in Vancouver, winning three national championships. In 1980, he began the Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. He hoped to raise one dollar from each of Canada's 24 million people."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Direct rule in India\"\" redirects here. For direct rule over India, see British Raj. In India, President's rule refers to suspension of state government and imposition of direct Central Government rule in a state. Under Article 356 of the Constitution of India, in the event that a state government is unable to function according to constitutional provisions, the Central government can take direct control of the state machinery. Subsequently, executive authority is exercised through the centrally appointed governor, who has the authority to appoint other administrators to assist them. The administrators are usually nonpartisan retired civil servants. When a state government is functioning correctly, it is run by an elected Council of Ministers responsible to the state's legislative assembly ( Vidhan Sabha ). The council is led by the Chief Minister, who is the de facto chief executive of the state; the Governor is only a de jure constitutional head. However, during President's rule, the Council of Ministers is dissolved, vacating the office of Chief Minister. Furthermore, the Vidhan Sabha is either prorogued or dissolved, necessitating a new election."

Bands that we grew up with, are once again living the life and rocking hard!

Written by Sting, the single was the biggest US and UK hit of 1983, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for eight weeks (the band's only number-one hit on that chart), and the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. It also topped the Billboard Top Tracks chart for nine weeks. At the 26th Annual Grammy Awards the song was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and Record of the Year, winning in the first two categories. For the song, Sting received the 1983 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. [ 4]The song is considered to be both The Police's and Sting's signature song, and in 2010 was estimated to generate between a quarter and a third of Sting's music publishing income. [ 5] In the 1983 Rolling Stone critics and readers poll, it was voted \"\"Song of the Year\"\". In the US, it was the best-selling single of 1983 and fifth-best-selling single of the decade. Billboard ranked it as the number-one song for 1983. ["

It was built in 1972, as a home court for the emerging Providence College men's basketball program, due to the high demand for tickets to their games in Alumni Hall, as well as for a home arena for the then- Providence Reds, who played in the nearly 50-year-old Rhode Island Auditorium. Current tenants include the Providence Bruins, of the AHL and the Providence College men's basketball team.

The project was proposed as a joint federal-state-city project, which would create jobs and bring economic benefits. However, the plan failed due to the inability to secure federal funds. [ 2]The plan was revived again as a statewide bond issue in the 1968 general election; voters outside of Providence soundly defeated the referendum. [ 2] Finally, mayor Joseph A. Doorley Jr. pushed through a citywide special referendum in 1969, which passed. [ 2] When this amount proved to be inadequate, Doorley pushed through another referendum in 1971, which also passed. [ 2] The project became so closely associated with Mayor Doorley that it was referred to in the press as \"\"Doorley's Dream.\"\" ["

The North American version also included the song \"\" Sanctuary \"\", previously released in the UK as a non-album single. In 1998, along with the rest of the band's pre-1995 releases, Iron Maiden was remastered with \"\"Sanctuary\"\" added in all territories (but 2015 digital releases and all vinyl reissues use original tracklisting around the globe). It is the band's only album to feature guitarist Dennis Stratton. Although Iron Maiden have since criticised the quality of the album's production, the release was met with critical and commercial success, peaking at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart as well as achieving prominence for the band in mainland Europe.

As the land moved, it exposed the superheated core of the volcano setting off gigantic explosions and eruptions of steam, ash and rock debris. The blast was heard hundreds of miles away, the pressure wave flattened entire forests, the heat melted glaciers and set off destructive mudflows, and 57 people lost their lives. The erupting ash column shot up 80,000 feet into the atmosphere for over 10 hours, depositing ash across Eastern Washington and 10 other states. Collected here are photos of the volcano and its fateful 1980 eruption.

Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. in Dallas, Texas while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza. [ 1] Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife, Nellie, and was fatally shot by former U. S. Marine [2]Lee Harvey Oswald. A ten-month investigation by the Warren Commission from November 1963 to September 1964 concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy and that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald before he could stand trial. [ 3] Kennedy's death marked the fourth (following those of Lincoln, Garfield, and Mc Kinley) and most recent assassination of an American President. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became President upon Kennedy's death. [ 4]In contrast to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was \"\"probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy\"\". [ 5] The HSCA agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries sustained by Kennedy and Connally were caused by Oswald's three rifle shots, but they also determined the existence of an additional gunshot based on analysis of an audio recording and therefore \"\"... a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President.\"\" ["

That was the key finding of the congressional investigation that concluded 22 years ago that President John F. Kennedy's murder in Dallas in 1963 was \"\"probably . . . the result of a conspiracy.\"\" A shot from the grassy knoll meant that two gunmen must have fired at the president within a split-second sequence. Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of firing three shots at Kennedy from a perch at the Texas School Book Depository, could not have been in two places at once. A special panel of the National Academy of Sciences subsequently disputed the evidence of a fourth shot, contained on a police dictabelt of the sounds in Dealey Plaza that day. The panel insisted it was simply random noise, perhaps static, recorded about a minute after the shooting while Kennedy's motorcade was en route to Parkland Hospital. A new, peer-reviewed article in Science and Justice, a quarterly publication of Britain's Forensic Science Society, says the NAS panel's study was seriously flawed. It says the panel failed to take into account the words of a Dallas patrolman that show the gunshot-like noises occurred \"\"at the exact instant that John F. Kennedy was assassinated. \"\" In fact, the author of the article, D. B. Thomas, a government scientist and JFK assassination researcher, said it was more than 96 percent certain that there was a shot from the grassy knoll to the right of the president's limousine, in addition to the three shots from a book depository window above and behind the president's limousine."

There is no credible evidence he was part of a conspiracy. Ruby murdered Oswald for personal reasons – he wanted to show that ''Jews had guts''; he felt emotionally distraught about the Kennedys, and he wanted to fulfil his life long dream of becoming a real hero.by Mel Ayton I n March of 1964, 52-year-old Jack Ruby was found guilty of the murder of John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and sentenced to die. For 32 months, since the time he shot Oswald, Ruby had been locked in a windowless cell on the Dallas County Jail's corridor 6-M. A ''suicide watch'' guard looked in on him around the clock – a single exposed light bulb glared over his bed. Several times Ruby would make attempts on his own life. Ruby could not tell night from day. He read every newspaper he could lay his hands on, eagerly sifting them for his name. He read dozens of books, including Perry Mason novels and the Warren Report, played cards with his guards, did physical exercises – and seemed out of his mind most of the time, according to jail staff. Ruby was clearly tipping over the edge in his psychosis and paranoia. He rammed his head against the plaster walls and raved over and over about the suffering Jews who were being killed as revenge for his crime."

"text": "\"Richard Pruett Answered Feb 3, 2018 · Author has 65 answers and 36.4k answer views Originally Answered: Who killed JFK? It had to be someone other than Oswald. You're right, it was someone other than Oswald. Reliable eyewitnesses placed him in the Texas School Book Depository lunch room immediately before and immediately after the assassination. The Dallas Police Department's paraffin test of his face and hands proved he hadn't fired a rifle that day. The impersonation of Oswald in Mexico City, the government's denial of his due process, and the murder of Oswald while in police custody are obvious signs he was simply a patsy, just as he had protested. And the brave testimony in recent years of his former co-worker and mistress Judyth Vary Baker reveal who Lee Oswald really was — i.e., a loyal Marine who volunteered for a CIA-managed phony defector program, participated in a USG assassination plot against Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, spied on pro-Castro Cubans for the FBI, and tried to prevent the assassination of Pres. Kennedy. Kennedy was murdered as the result of a conspiracy. It's hard for me to see how anyone who has researched the case with an open mind can arrive at any other conclusion."

His great grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, had emigrated from Ireland in 1849 and his grandfathers, Patrick Joseph Kennedy and John Francis Fitzgerald, were important political figures in Boston. Kennedy's father was a highly successful businessman who later served as ambassador to Great Britain (1937-40). In 1940 Kennedy graduated from Harvard University with a science degree. The same year saw the publication of Why England Slept (1940), a book on foreign policy. He joined the United States Navy in 1941 and became an intelligence officer. After the United States entered the Second World War, Kennedy was transferred to the Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron where he was given command of a PT boat. Sent to the South Pacific, in August 1943, his boat was hit by a Japanese destroyer. Two of his crew were killed but the other six men managed to cling on to what remained of the boat. After a five hour struggle Kennedy, and what was left of his crew, managed to get to an island five miles from where the original incident took place."

"text": "\"i nce that dreadful day on November 22nd of 1963 when JFK was assassinated, there has been lots of speculations as to why and by whom he was murdered. You may think that you have heard it all, and that we don’t need another theory. However, I have researched JFK quite a bit; especially with regards to the assassination, and I have come up with a different, and not very widely discussed possibility for the killing, with a parallel that goes back almost a hundred years in time. JFK was a very controversial President; he wanted to change things around. By doing so, you can’t please everyone, and he stepped on quite a few toes. One thing he wanted to do was to re-organize the CIA from within, because he considered the Agency being a Government within the Government, with too much power. Allen Dulles, who was the head of the CIA at the time did not like the idea of course, and this alone could have been the reason for the assassination. But there is another interesting aspect as well …To understand this theory we must understand that the real power is not with the politicians, but with the International Bankers (and ultimately those whom are behind them in this complex web of power). Whomever is running the show use banking and finance as their most powerful tool to accomplish their goals. You and I can try to run for Presidency if we want to, but we would not stand much of a chance."

Kennedy was pronounced dead 30 minutes later at Dallas’ Parkland Hospital. Vice President Johnson, who was three cars behind Kennedy in the motorcade, was sworn in as the 36th U. S. president at 2:39 p.m., taking the oath of office aboard Air Force One as it sat on the runway at Dallas Love Field airport. Less than an hour after Kennedy was shot, Oswald, a former Marine who had recently started working at the Texas School Book Depository Building, killed a policeman who questioned him on the street near his Dallas rooming house. Thirty minutes later, Oswald was arrested in a movie theater by police responding to reports of a suspect. Oswald was formally arraigned on November 23 for the murders of Kennedy and Officer J. D. Tippit. The next day, Oswald was brought to the basement of the Dallas police headquarters on his way to a more secure county jail. A crowd of police and press with live television cameras rolling gathered to witness his departure. As Oswald came into the room, Jack Ruby (1911-1967) emerged from the crowd and fatally wounded him with a single shot from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby, who operated strip joints and dance halls in Dallas and had minor connections to organized crime, was immediately detained."

On November 22, 1963, I was in the cafeteria line for lunch at Marquette University High School in Milwaukee, where I was a junior. I heard the news from a boy serving food and immediately spun around and ran out the door to a drugstore two blocks away where there was a radio. It was about 12:40 p.m. when I started listening, about ten minutes after the shots were fired. For the first twenty minutes I was listening, the network radio reports were saying that shots came from the front, from the railroad overpass or the hill overlooking the street. Then, around 1 p.m., the radio started reporting that all the shots came from behind, from a building called the Texas School Book Depository. I was struck by the strangeness of how the direction of the shots changed and by the lack of explanation for that drastic shift, although at first I didn’t fully understand what was being done to our consciousness of the event by the news media. Soon there were no more reports of shots from the front. That night, I watched on television as Lee Harvey Oswald, the man falsely accused of killing both President Kennedy and Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit, said, “I haven’t killed anybody!”"

( Update: 12/06/07)When I first saw the version of the Zapruder film that actually showed the driver, Secret Service Agent William Greer, and the front passenger, Agent Roy Kellerman, my first impression was probably like most who first saw it; damn, did the driver shoot Kennedy? ! The actions of both Secret Services agents are, to me, highly suspicious. Agents Greer and Kellerman both turn around at the same time and see Kennedy with his arms up by his neck gasping for air from being shot in the neck, then both turn back around at the same time as if nothing has happened. Then a second later, Greer turns around again to look at Kennedy as he slows the limo down while Kellerman leans back at the same time Greer turns around towards Kennedy, although Kellerman remains looking forward. Then Kennedy gets his head blown off right after Greer turns around and stares at him for the second time and then immediately after, Kellerman leans forward to duck down at the same time as Greer turns back around to the front and leans forward to duck down as he starts to speed away. It's as if both rehearsed their actions dozens of times. What partially made me think that the driver might of done it was I only remember growing up seeing the Zapruder film version that didn't show the drivers and thought how weird it was that all this time seeing the film before, it didn't show the suspicious actions of the driver and front passenger Secret Service agents and after hearing the excuse Agent Kellerman gave as to why Greer turned around again makes it all the more unbelievable: Between the second and third shots, however, [Kellerman] claims he shouted, \"\"Let's get out of line, we've been hit,\"\" but that Greer apparently turned to look at Kennedy (for the second time), allowing Kennedy to be hit fatally, before accelerating the car out of the danger zone.

(83 Beals Street) May 29, 1917 In all, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy would have nine children, four boys and five girls. She kept notecards for each of them in a small wooden file box and made a point of writing down everything from a doctor’s visit to the shoe size they had at a particular age. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was named in honor of Rose’s father, John Francis Fitzgerald, the Boston Mayor popularly known as Honey Fitz. Before long, family and friends called this small blue-eyed baby, Jack. Jack was not a very healthy baby, and Rose recorded on his notecard the childhood diseases from which he suffered, such as: \"\"whooping cough, measles, chicken pox.\"\" On February 20, 1920 when Jack was not yet three years old, he became sick with scarlet fever, a highly contagious and then potentially life-threatening disease. His father, Joseph Patrick Kennedy, was terrified that little Jack would die. Mr. Kennedy went to the hospital every day to be by his son’s side, and about a month later Jack took a turn for the better and recovered. But Jack was never very healthy, and because he was always suffering from one ailment or another his family used to joke about the great risk a mosquito took in biting him – with some of his blood the mosquito was almost sure to die! When Jack was three, the Kennedys moved to a new home a few blocks away from their old house in Brookline, a neighborhood just outside of Boston."

About 45 minutes after Oswald fatally shot Kennedy, he shot and killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit on a local street. Oswald then slipped into a movie theatre, where he was arrested for Tippit's murder. Oswald was later charged with the murder of Kennedy. He denied shooting anybody, saying that he was a \"\" patsy \"\". ["

"text": "U. S. Descendants of Slave's Son Contend That His Father Was George Washington By NICHOLAS WADE JULY 7, 1999Did George Washington father a son with Venus, a young slave who lived on the estate of his half brother John Augustine Washington? Three descendants of Venus's son, who was called West Ford, say that according to a family tradition two centuries old, George Washington was West Ford's father. They hope to develop DNA evidence from descendants of the Washington family and Washington's hair samples to bolster their case. Historians are skeptical, saying there is no documentary evidence to suggest that Washington ever met Venus, whose son was born four or five years before Washington became President, and several reasons to consider any such liaison improbable. In addition, Washington, 26 when he married Martha, then 27, had no children with her. But Martha bore four children in her first marriage, suggesting that Washington may have been sterile. Yet there is reason to believe that if the child's father was not Washington, it might have been someone closely related to him. The cousins' claim has several elements of truth, enough to set up a historical mystery as to the identity of West Ford's father and to add a new strand to the emerging links between the black and white sides of slave-owning families. Though the tradition was passed down with a warning to tell no white person, the present generation of West Ford's descendants has spoken freely of their secret. They are doing so again after DNA evidence, reported last November, supported the tradition among descendants of Sally Hemings, a slave on Thomas Jefferson's estate, that Jefferson fathered her family.

"text": "“I desire you would remember the ladies”-March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams to her husband, John Adams After reading the “ Most Overrated Revolutionary ” and the “ Most Underrated Revolutionary ,” and the amazing contributions by each and every person, it started me thinking about “the ladies” that I feel, in their own ways, helped achieve independence. The impact that ladies had on the revolutionary effort did not take center stage and has been underrated. The involvement of some of these women has not been as recognizable as others but they all had one thing in common, patriotic passion. These women were steadfast, dependable and assisted in every way imaginable, many even risking their own lives and fearing for their personal safety. Even though society did not easily permit females to participate in the Revolutionary War, women did great things by giving to their country in many different ways. So their husbands did not have to manage homesteads, these ladies supported them by working farms, managing the Indians /Redcoats /frontier environment and caring for the sick so their families could stay together while their husbands were either fighting, creating or rallying the nation. These Patriots endured hardships only they could understand. John Adams wished to be a soldier, and expressed his desire that “every body must and will, and shall be a soldier” [1] but was much more successful in congress while his wife ran the farm. Many times women uprooted families to follow their husbands or left their children behind to be raised by friends and family, enduring the unwritten history of living life, the day in and day out hardships of survival. The women and children that followed endured the same living conditions and suffered the same privations as the soldiers in an army, which sometimes included a lack of food, clothing and shelter. ["

The position is traditionally filled by the wife of the President of the United States, but, on occasion, the title has been applied to women who were not presidents’ wives, such as when the president was a bachelor or widower, or when the wife of the president was unable to fulfill the duties of the First Lady herself. The First Lady is not an elected position; it carries no official duties and receives no salary. Nonetheless, she attends many official ceremonies and functions of state either along with or in place of the president. Traditionally, the First Lady does not hold outside employment while occupying the office. [ 1] She has her own staff, including the White House Social Secretary, the Chief of Staff, the Press Secretary, the Chief Floral Designer, and the Executive Chef. The Office of the First Lady is also in charge of all social and ceremonial events of the White House, and is a branch of the Executive Office of the President. There have been total of fifty-three First Ladies including forty-two official and eleven acting and forty-five First Ladyships. This discrepancy exists because some presidents had multiple first ladies.

Although the First Lady's role has never been codified or officially defined, she figures prominently in the political and social life of the nation. [ 1] Since the early 20th century, the First Lady has been assisted by official staff, now known as the Office of the First Lady and headquartered in the East Wing of the White House. Melania Trump is the current First Lady of the United States, and wife of 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. While the title was not in general use until much later, Martha Washington, the wife of George Washington, the first U. S.

"text": "\"Mary V. Thompson, a research specialist at Mt. Vernon, studies the domestic life, foodways, and religious practices of the residents of George Washington's plantation, with a special interest in the slave community. Excerpted with permission from Virginia Cavalcade. Volume 48, Autumn 1999, No. 4, pp.178-190. The slaves of George Washington must have found the hours when they were not working for their master very precious, for it was then they had the time and the freedom to pursue their own interests and to exercise some measure of control over their own lives. Evenings, Sundays, and holidays (Christmas, Easter Monday, the Monday after Pentecost, and official days of prayer and fasting), the African Americans at Mount Vernon occupied themselves with activities to benefit themselves and their families, rather than their master. Slaves on the four outlying farms of the Mount Vernon estate may have had even more freedom in their private lives than those residing at the Mansion House (Mount Vernon), where personal servants had to be available well into the evening, and where opportunities for close supervision by the master and his family abounded. However, even in their free time and in the most personal aspects of their lives, Washington's slaves were never free of his ultimate control. Lacking the kind of voluminous documentation that outlines the lives of George Washington and his family, modern historians studying the African American community at Mount Vernon must pore over such sources as Washington's 1786 and 1799 censuses of his slaves, court records, archaeological artifacts, and account books to assemble a picture of the slaves' everyday lives. At the height of its development as a plantation, Mount Vernon comprised eight thousand acres divided into five separate farms-- Mansion House, Dogue Run, Union, Muddy Hole, and River--each of which contained a small village of African-born and Virginia-born slaves."

He had graduated from Oxford University and in Williamsburg served as minister of Bruton Parish for fourteen years. Two generations later, his great-granddaughter, Martha Dandridge was born on June 2, 1731 on a plantation near Williamsburg. She grew up in the Dandridge home, Chestnut Grove. She enjoyed riding horses, gardening, sewing, playing the spinet and dancing. Her father saw that she received a fair education in basic mathematics, reading and writing...something girls primarily did not receive at the time. At the age of eighteen, Martha was married to Daniel Parke Custis. He was wealthy, handsome and twenty years older than her. Martha set up housekeeping on the Custis plantation, while her husband managed the estate which encompassed over 17,000 acres.

"text": "\"Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, was of English descent, but with deep and wide Virginia roots. His father and paternal grandparents were Virginians; his mother was born in London to English parents. Jefferson's father, Peter Jefferson, was a surveyor and cartographer, as well as a Virginia land-owner and planter. He and Joshua Fry, another surveyor, created the Fry-Jefferson Map of 1751, which for the first time accurately showed the Allegheny Mountains, and noted the route of what was later called The Great Wagon Road from Virginia to Philadelphia. Jefferson's mother, Jane Randolph, is seldom mentioned in his writings, but she played a critical role in managing the household of this prominent family. When her husband died in 1757, she had eight children living, the oldest 17, the youngest only two years old. Long before he became president, Thomas Jefferson played an influential part in Virginia colonial and revolutionary life - he was a lawyer, scholar, and statesman. He served in the Second Continental Congress and wrote the text of the Declaration of Independence. He also served as Governor of Virginia, American Minister to France, Secretary of State under Washington and Vice President under Adams. As President, he was responsible for the Louisiana Purchase, aided the Lewis and Clark expedition, and established West Point."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln Created The Secret Service The Day He Was Shot August 13, 2010On April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D. C. He’d die the next morning. But also on April 14, 1865, Lincoln signed into law a piece of legislation which created the Secret Service — the law enforcement agency charged with defending the President from, among other things, assassination attempts such as the one that befell Lincoln that evening. Was Lincoln also a victim of bad timing? Perhaps he had ESP? Not really — rather, it’s a strange historical coincidence. While we currently think of the Secret Service as primarily existing to protect the President, that was not its original intent. During the early to mid-1800s, roughly a third of American money was counterfeit. The solution was something similar to today’s approach to large scale problems — form a commission. On the urging of Secretary of the Treasury Hugh Mc Culloch, Lincoln did exactly that. The conclusion was to form a federal law enforcement division (at the time, there was no FBI), the “Secret Service of Division of the Department of the Treasury.”"

"text": "\"Fifty Years Later, Mystery Shrouds Questions Regarding the Whereabouts of JFK’s Brain A new book by James L. Swanson details the legacy of JFK, the life of his accused killer, and the lingering theories about what happened in the days after his death. By Steve Annear · 11/22/2013, 5:30 a.m. Photo via Associated Press Best-selling author and presidential assassination expert James Swanson—he’s written books about both Lincoln and John F. Kennedy—thinks that, on the 50th anniversary of the death of country’s 35th president, people should focus less on the actual incident and more on the legacy that was left behind. “What really happened that day is that a wife lost her husband, two little kids lost their father, and America lost its president. And we have lost touch with the meaning of that,” said Swanson. “ I think it’s very important that we not remember November 22 as Lee Harvey Oswald Day, or just as assassination day—we should use it to remember the real John Kennedy and his life. ”Swanson also happens to think it’s important that people know about Kennedy’s brain disappearing prior to his funeral. The president’s legacy (and whereabouts of his brain) are all detailed in Swanson’s latest book, End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, a true-crime thriller that explores his relationship with Jackie Kennedy Onassis and what America could have been like if Oswald didn’t pull the trigger 50 years ago today. “I created an hour-by-hour, moment-by-moment—sometimes a second-by-second—account of the last days of Lee Harvey Oswald and John F. Kennedy,” he said. Here, Swanson talked to us about all of that, and how he debunks the conspiracy theories that often overshadow one of the greatest American presidents of our time. Part of your book claims that JFK’s brain was stolen before his burial, and that it’s still missing."

"text": "\"i nce that dreadful day on November 22nd of 1963 when JFK was assassinated, there has been lots of speculations as to why and by whom he was murdered. You may think that you have heard it all, and that we don’t need another theory. However, I have researched JFK quite a bit; especially with regards to the assassination, and I have come up with a different, and not very widely discussed possibility for the killing, with a parallel that goes back almost a hundred years in time. JFK was a very controversial President; he wanted to change things around. By doing so, you can’t please everyone, and he stepped on quite a few toes. One thing he wanted to do was to re-organize the CIA from within, because he considered the Agency being a Government within the Government, with too much power. Allen Dulles, who was the head of the CIA at the time did not like the idea of course, and this alone could have been the reason for the assassination. But there is another interesting aspect as well …To understand this theory we must understand that the real power is not with the politicians, but with the International Bankers (and ultimately those whom are behind them in this complex web of power). Whomever is running the show use banking and finance as their most powerful tool to accomplish their goals. You and I can try to run for Presidency if we want to, but we would not stand much of a chance."

Wilkes Occupation Actor Years active 1855–1865Known for Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Family Booth Signature John Wilkes Booth (May 10, 1838 – April 26, 1865) was an American actor and assassin, who murdered President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D. C. on April 14, 1865. Booth was a member of the prominent 19th-century Booth theatrical family from Maryland and, by the 1860s, was a well-known actor. [ 1] He was also a Confederate sympathizer, vehement in his denunciation of Lincoln, and strongly opposed to the abolition of slavery in the United States. [ 2]Booth and a group of co-conspirators originally plotted to kidnap Lincoln but later planned to kill him, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William H. Seward in a bid to help the Confederacy's cause. [ 3]Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia had surrendered four days earlier, but Booth believed that the American Civil War was not yet over because Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston 's army was still fighting the Union Army. Of the conspirators, only Booth was completely successful in carrying out his part of the plot. He shot Lincoln once in the back of the head, and the President died the next morning. Seward was severely wounded but recovered, and Vice President Johnson was never attacked at all. Following the assassination, Booth fled on horseback to southern Maryland, eventually making his way to a farm in rural northern Virginia 12 days later, where he was tracked down. Booth's companion gave himself up, but Booth refused and was shot by Boston Corbett, a Union soldier, after the barn in which he was hiding was set ablaze."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln Assassination John Wilkes Booth initially plotted to kidnap President Lincoln early in 1864, in order to trade for ransom and the release of confederate prisoners of war. As a consequence of unfolding events Booth switched gears and a new desperate plan to cripple the union and help the confederacy emerged. On April 14, 1865 the kidnapping plot emerged as a killing rampage attempt of several high officials in the Federal Government. Booth assigned the assassination of President Lincoln for he alone to relish, deligating the others to his co conspirators. Lewis Powell was directed to kill Secretary of State Seward . Powell entered Secretary Seward's home at about 10:20 P. M. and Savagely attacked him with a knife. Seward miraculously survived the assassination attempt and remained Secretary of State for the Johnson Presidency. George Atzerodt's target was Vice President Andrew Johnson , but Atzerodt failed miserably in his assassination attempt, as a result Johnson was never in any real danger. General Ulysses S. Grant was also selected by Booth for assassination for his part in the Civil War. Fortunately Ulysses Grant and wife Julia Dent Grant changed their initial plans and declined to join the President at Ford's Theater that fateful evening."

"text": "Written by Bill Jensen | Published on April 12, 2015On April 26, 1865, soldiers had John Wilkes Booth cornered in a burning barn near Port Royal, Virginia, before Boston Corbett shot him. Illustration by Roy Knipe Tweet Share The fire in the tobacco barn was starting to rage, and inside was the most wanted man in America: John Wilkes Booth, the traitor who had shot President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre 12 days earlier. Nursing a broken leg, Booth had made it 73 miles to Port Royal, Virginia, with federal troops in pursuit. Now the last of his accomplices had deserted him and he was cornered in the barn, surrounded by Union Army veterans hungry for vengeance. He had two choices: shoot his way out or surrender and face his crime. A soldier by the name of Boston Corbett would decide the matter for him. Corbett was watching Booth intently from his unit’s formation around the barn. Through the cracks in the wall, he could see the fugitive shift in and out of view, a gun in hand. As the flames rose, Corbett trained his pistol on the image, even though the word from Washington was clear—Booth was to be taken alive. Corbett, you see, wasn’t the kind of soldier who followed orders easily, unless they came from God."

"text": "WASHINGTON — This Tuesday was the 150th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln –- a somber moment marked by expressions of reverence for perhaps the nation’s most admired president. For historians and political scientists, April 14 is also a time for playful speculation. What would have happened, the common question goes, if Lincoln had lived? Certainly, history would have been demonstrably different in unknowable ways. But what about Lincoln’s reputation? Would it be so exalted? Or did some of his dignity come from his death? He was not, at the time he went to Ford’s Theater, universally venerated. The night he was killed, he had invited 14 separate people to attend “Our American Cousin” with him. All said no."

President Reagan shot, March 30, 1981By ANDREW GLASS03/30/2009 04:32 AM EDTShare on Facebook Share on Twitter On this day in 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest at the side entrance of the Hilton Washington hotel by John Hinckley Jr. Reagan was walking to his limousine after a speech to AFL-CIO leaders when Hinckley, 25, who was standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots, hitting Reagan and three others. Hinckley shot James Brady in the head, inflicting permanent brain damage on Reagan’s press secretary. Timothy Mc Carthy, a Secret Service agent, was shot in the side, and Thomas Delahanty, a District of Columbia policeman, was shot in the neck. Both recovered from their wounds. Hinckley was quickly overpowered and pinned against a wall while Reagan, still unaware that he had been shot, was shoved into his limousine by an agent and rushed to George Washington University Hospital. The .22-caliber bullet collapsed Reagan’s left lung and just missed his heart. Remarkably, the president, who was 70 at the time, walked unassisted into the emergency room. As he was being prepped for what turned out to be two hours of life-saving surgery, he quipped to his wife, Nancy, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” “ Please tell me you’re Republicans,” he said to his surgeons."

"text": "\"Fifty-one years ago today in Los Angeles, a 53-year-old political amateur, Ronald Reagan, gave a half-hour nationally-televised speech, “A Time For Choosing,” on behalf of Barry Goldwater’s campaign in the following week’s presidential election. 16 years later, Reagan would win 44 states and an almost double-digit popular vote margin of victory, kicking off the most successful and conservative Republican presidency in U. S. history, leading to a 49-state landslide in 1984 and the election of his Vice President for a “third Reagan term” in 1988, the only time in the past 70 years that a party has held the White House for three consecutive terms. \"\" A Time for Choosing\"\" by Ronald Reagan Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 29:33Given the extent to which Reagan’s legacy still dominates internal debates within the GOP and the conservative movement, it’s worth asking ourselves: What did he accomplish? How did he do it? And what can we learn from him today?1. Reagan Moved The Country To The Right From an ideological/political conservative perspective, the most important measurement of Reagan’s success is that he moved the country further Right than he found it. This is an important factor to bear in mind when Reagan’s legacy is misused both by those seeking unerring ideological purity and by those trying to capitalize on some of the ways in which Reagan took positions that would now be considered unacceptably moderate, liberal or compromising in today’s GOP. Reagan was a creature of his time and – to use Gandalf’s great line from the Lord of the Rings – “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” And so Reagan was, on the one hand, more interested in getting results than in demonstrating his 100% adherence to principle: he was fond of saying that “if you agree with me 80 percent of the time, you’re an 80 percent friend and not a 20 percent enemy” and “if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I’m trying to get … I’ll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.”"

News & World Report • September 24, 2015Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II were men of the same moment. They were both horrified by nuclear war, they both hated communism and the Soviet Union, they both had been shot but survived and they both forgave their assailants. They had also both been superior high school athletes and, curiously, both were actors before becoming the most important players on a world stage. John Paul II was almost an afterthought after his predecessor, John Paul I, died unexpectedly after less than a month in office. Reagan of course had been a long shot all of his life. Both the president and the pope grew up poor, with no connections, but ended up being two of the greatest men of the 20 th century. They both had winning smiles and indomitable personalities. At his first remarks from the balcony of St. Peter's, the pope made clear what he thought of the Soviets. Reagan of course had been railing against communism for years.

The extraordinary assaults by media, celebrities and jealous politicians against Mr. Trump have been unending. Their attacks include questioning his mental health, comparing him to Hitler (over and over and over again), declaring him a fascist, insisting he’s a modern-day Manchurian candidate, that he’s a traitor (because Russians! ), and on and on. The striking thing about the nature of the attacks is that they’re all personal. They are accusations meant to instill in the listener a sense of danger, provoking an existential fear of the president of the United States. Now why would someone want to do that? And what could possibly be the result of creating that toxic environment? Mr. Reagan withstood similar vitriol by the same and usual suspects."

FPG/ The Image Bank/ Getty Imagesby Martin Kelly Updated October 09, 2017The story of America reads like an epic drama in places, particularly when you consider that we've had 44 presidents, including President Donald J. Trump, and four of them have died by gunfire while in office. Another six nearly perished in assassination attempts. That's 10 of 44 presidents who crossed paths with nefarious individuals who were willing to do anything at all – even commit murder – to get them out of office. That works out to about 22 percent, almost one-quarter of them. And yes, Donald Trump is our 45th president, but Grover Cleveland is counted twice, as both our 22nd and 24th presidents. Benjamin Harrison squeezed in there as #23 between 1889 and 1893. Cleveland lost that election. So, in total, 44 presidents have served."

Reagan, who was also a well-known actor and served as governor of California, was a popular president known for restoring American confidence after the problems of the 1970s and helping to defeat communism. Born on February 6, 1911, Reagan, who was nicknamed Dutch as a youngster, was born and raised in several small towns in Illinois. Despite a disadvantaged upbringing—his father abused alcohol and had trouble holding jobs—Reagan was a popular and outgoing student. He served as president of his high school’s student council and stood out at football, basketball, and track, as well as acting in several plays. During the summer, he worked as a lifeguard, reportedly saving 77 people over six years. After high school, Reagan enrolled at Eureka College, a small, Christian, liberal-arts school in Eureka, Illinois, from which he received a scholarship. There, he continued to show athletic prowess, playing football and swimming, as well as honing his skills in his two future pursuits: acting and politics. Reagan—then a Democrat—served as Eureka’s student-body president and acted in the college’s theater productions. In 1932, Reagan graduated from Eureka with a degree in sociology and economics and found a job as a radio sports announcer."

President before election Gerald Ford Republican Elected President Jimmy Carter Democratic The United States presidential election of 1976 was the 48th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 2, 1976. Democrat Jimmy Carter of Georgia defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford from Michigan. Carter's win represented the lone Democratic victory in a presidential election held between 1968 and 1992. President Richard Nixon had resigned in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal, but before doing so, he appointed Ford as Vice President via the 25th Amendment. Ford was thus the only sitting President who had never been elected to national office. He faced a strong challenge from conservative former Governor Ronald Reagan of California in the 1976 Republican primaries, but Ford narrowly prevailed at the 1976 Republican National Convention. Carter was little-known at the start of the 1976 Democratic primaries, but the former Governor of Georgia emerged as the front-runner after his victories in the first set of primaries."

"text": "5 The US Presidents at the Wall Michael B., Matthew M. and Michael N. Introduction The Berlin Wall was built by the Soviets in the East to stop people from fleeing from the communist side of Germany. However, eventually US presidents began to make make many speaches and arguments against the Berlin Wall. The US Presidents at the wall were John Kenedy and Ronald Reagan in 1963 and 1987. Both speeches were important but Kenedy’s speech was of great importance because it signified American and worldwide recognition of the horror of the Berlin Wall. Also Reagan should not be forgoten because he saught to negotiate with the Soviet and improve their relations with each other. Reagan also made a speech in 1987 fighting to free the East Berliners. Reagan used the challenge to the Soviets, ‘tear down this wall’. John F. Kennedy John Kennedy was born in 1917 and the son of a wealthy businessman. He went to Harvard University studying politics. He also did some military service in the US Navy, after initially being rejected from the army because of a back problem."

"text": "\"Ronald Reagan’s shameful legacy: Violence, the homeless, mental illness As president and governor of California, the GOP icon led the worst policies on mental illness in generations Dr. E. Fuller Torrey09.29.2013 • 5:00 AMExcerpted from“American Psychosis”In November 1980, Republican Ronald Reagan overwhelmingly defeated Jimmy Carter, who received less than 42% of the popular vote, for president. Republicans took control of the Senate (53 to 46), the first time they had dominated either chamber since 1954. Although the House remained under Democratic control (243 to 192), their margin was actually much slimmer, because many southern “boll weevil” Democrats voted with the Republicans. One month prior to the election, President Carter had signed the Mental Health Systems Act, which had proposed to continue the federal community mental health centers program, although with some additional state involvement. Consistent with the report of the Carter Commission, the act also included a provision for federal grants “for projects for the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of positive mental health,” an indication of how little learning had taken place among the Carter Commission members and professionals at NIMH. With President Reagan and the Republicans taking over, the Mental Health Systems Act was discarded before the ink had dried and the CMHC funds were simply block granted to the states. The CMHC program had not only died but been buried as well. An autopsy could have listed the cause of death as naiveté complicated by grandiosity. President Reagan never understood mental illness. Like Richard Nixon, he was a product of the Southern California culture that associated psychiatry with Communism."

"text": "\"History News Politics TV, Cable, and Streaming Video Jackie Kennedy believed Lyndon Johnson killed JFKwritten by Richard Cameron Oct 18, 2014WASHINGTON, October 17, 2014 — It has been widely reported that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, widow of President John F. Kennedy, shared with family members she was certain that Kennedy’s Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson, arranged to have her husband murdered. Soon that conclusion will be heard in the late First Lady’s own words, because audio tapes, recorded of discussions with historian and close family associate, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., between March and June 1964, will be released and excerpts featured on an upcoming ABC News program in November marking the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas. Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 7:10The tapes, which insiders describe as featuring Ms. Kennedy’s disclosures of J. F. K.’s affairs and her romantic liaisons in retaliation, also reportedly reveal her conviction that L. B. J., with a cabal of associates and Texas businessmen, orchestrated the plot culminating in the Kennedy assassination. This is in contrast to the account of these interviews in Barbara Leaming’s biography of Ms. Kennedy, “The Winter of Her Despair”. The legacy of Robert “Bobby” Kennedy The establishment theory of the Kennedy assassination, arguably the most controversial event in American history, is dubbed the “lone gunman”. It is the conclusion of the Warren Report, commissioned by newly sworn in Lyndon Johnson and chaired by then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren. It concludes that Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, a disturbed ex-Marine who had exhibited erratic actions and behavior and that Oswald shot the President from the 6th floor of the Dallas Book Depository building. The Warren Report is nicknamed the “single bullet theory”. This one bullet is a most miraculous bullet, in its capability of piercing the President’s suit from the back, puncturing his body to the right of his spine and exiting his body through his neck."

Updated February 18, 2017 at 7:53 PM; Posted February 17, 2017 at 6:32 AMComment By Leada [email protected] America's first President George Washington Leada Gore | [email protected] Monday, Feb. 20 is Presidents Day, a time set aside to honor the leaders of our country, especially George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Washington, the first president, was born Feb. 22, 1732. Lincoln, the 16th president, was born Feb. 12, 1809. Washington's birthday was first celebrated as national holiday on Feb. 22, 1885 but was moved in 1971 to the third Monday in February as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which put most federal holidays on Mondays so workers could enjoy three-day weekends. The change also tied Lincoln to the official celebration, though o fficial designations for the holiday vary from state to state. Here's a look at what's open and what's closed on Presidents Day 2017: U. S. Postal Service - No mail delivered, post offices closed UPS, Fed Ex - Open with normal schedule Amazon - Processing orders but there may be shipping delays Banks - Most banks will be closed Financial markets - Financial markets, including the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, are closed.

Schools - Most public schools are closed, many private ones closed State of Alabama - Presidents Day is a state holiday in Alabama, so all state offices are closed."

He outlined a dark vision of an America afflicted by “the ravages” of economic dislocation and foreign exploitation, requiring his can-do approach to turn around. “I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down,” Mr. Trump told hundreds of thousands of rain-soaked admirers and onlookers in a forceful 16-minute Inaugural Address from the West Front of the Capitol. “ America will start winning again, winning like never before.

Is it really a holiday at all?318CLAIMThe federal holiday observed in the United States on the third Monday of February is officially designated as \"\"Presidents' Day. \"\" RATINGFalse ORIGINBack in my school days, February was an important month — not just because it included the eagerly-anticipated Valentine’s Day, but because even though it was the shortest month of the year, it encompassed two holidays for which public schools were closed: Lincoln’s Birthday (February 12) and Washington’s Birthday (February 22). Two school-free days for the kids, two days off for working parents, and terrific bargains on bedding, linen, and towels at department store white sales. What wasn’t to like about February? Nowadays, though, many of us — whether we be employees or students — don’t get any weekdays off at all in February, or we’re offered a single holiday that falls on the third Monday in February and is neither Lincoln’s nor Washington’s Birthday but some hybrid known as “Presidents’ Day.” What happened to our traditional February holidays? And just what the heck are we commemorating on “Presidents’ Day”? Some of us think we’re observing George Washington’s Birthday (perpetually moved to more convenient Monday dates since 1971), some of us think we’re celebrating the combined birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (two formerly separate holidays smushed into one), and some of us think we’re honoring the memory of all U.

He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations."

S. [1] The billboard was part of an advertising campaign by World Net Daily, whose URL appears on the billboard's bottom right corner. [ 2]In response to the conspiracy theories, the White House released copies of the President's long-form birth certificate on April 27, 2011, and posted an image of it to the White House website, [3] reaffirming that he was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. During Barack Obama 's campaign for president in 2008, throughout his presidency, and afterwards, a number of conspiracy theories falsely asserted Obama was ineligible to be President of the United States because he was not a natural-born citizen of the United States as required by Article Two of the U. S. Constitution. Theories alleged that Obama's published birth certificate was a forgery—that his actual birthplace was not Hawaii but Kenya. Other theories alleged that Obama became a citizen of Indonesia in childhood, thereby losing his U. S. citizenship. Still others claimed that Obama was not a natural-born U. S. citizen because he was born a dual citizen (British and American). A number of political commentators have characterized these various claims as a racist reaction to Obama's status as the first African American President of the United States. [ 4]These claims were promoted by fringe theorists (pejoratively referred to as \"\" birthers \"\"), some of whom sought court rulings either to declare Obama ineligible to take office, or granting access to various documents which they claimed would evidence such ineligibility; none of these efforts were successful. Some political opponents, especially in the Republican Party, have expressed skepticism about Obama's citizenship or been unwilling to acknowledge it; [5] some have proposed legislation which would require presidential candidates to provide proof of eligibility. [ 5]Expressed belief in such theories has persisted despite Obama's pre-election release of his official Hawaiian birth certificate in 2008, [1] confirmation by the Hawaii Department of Health based on the original documents, [6] the April 2011 release of a certified copy of Obama's original Certificate of Live Birth (or long-form birth certificate ), and contemporaneous birth announcements published in Hawaii newspapers.

"text": "\"Woodward and Bernstein Facts Carl Bernstein (born 1944) and Robert Woodward (born 1943), investigative reporters for the Washington Post, wrote a series of articles about the Watergate scandals that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Carl Bernstein, born on February 14, 1944, in Washington, D. C., began part-time work at the Washington Star at the age of 16 and later dropped out of the University of Maryland to work full-time as a reporter. He joined the Washington Post's metropolitan staff in 1966, specializing in police, court, and city hall assignments, with occasional self-assigned feature stories. Robert Upshur Woodward, born on March 26, 1943, in Geneva, Illinois, attended Yale University on a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship, after which he served for five years as a naval officer. He joined the Washington Post's metropolitan staff in 1971. On June 17, 1972, Woodward was assigned to cover a story about an attempted burglary the night before in which five men had been arrested at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate complex. Woodward was soon joined on the story by Bernstein, and together the two young reporters undertook a series of investigative reports that gradually revealed the connections between the burglary and a converging pattern of crimes that finally implicated President Richard M. Nixon himself, forcing his resignation in the face of otherwise certain impeachment. The burglary was revealed as part of an extensive program of political espionage and sabotage run by Nixon subordinates at the White House and its political campaign organization, the Committee to Re-Elect the President (CRP, or, as referred to in most later press coverage, CREEP). In addition to the espionage and sabotage, another series of felonies stemmed from the attempt to cover up the earlier crimes by perjury and other obstructions of justice. Bernstein and Woodward did not, all by themselves, bring about the destruction of the Nixon presidency, but some historians of the period do credit their early investigations with both informing and stimulating the official investigations by a special prosecutor, the courts, the Senate Watergate Committee, and the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives that eventually forced Nixon to resign when it was revealed that he had participated in the cover-up almost from the beginning."

Presidents Who Never Graduated From College Sam Politics July 24, 2013Image Source Our nation’s leaders carry the weight of the country on their shoulders, so it’s not unreasonable to expect them to have attained a higher educational level than the Average Joe. The current President of the United States, Barack Obama, is certainly no slouch in the academic department: he studied political science at Columbia University, majoring in international relations. In 1991 Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. However, some of the greatest presidents in US history did not set foot in an institute of higher learning, let alone graduate from one. Often, education was simply not an option for the following ten presidents. That said, through hard work and sheer determination – or an action-packed stint in the US Army – they managed to rise to the top. And though they may not have been college graduates themselves, they still realized the importance of education.10. Andrew Johnson (1865-1869)Image Source On March 4, 1865, Andrew Johnson was inaugurated as vice president during Abraham Lincoln’s short-lived second term.

ADVERTISEMENTShe died at her Austin home of natural causes about 4:20 p.m. Elizabeth Christian, the spokeswoman, said she was surrounded by family and friends. Lady Bird Johnson returned home late last month after a week at Seton Medical Center, where she'd been admitted for a low-grade fever. She was hospitalized with a stroke in 2002 that made speaking difficult. But even after that she continued to make public appearances and in May attended an event at the LBJ Library and Museum featuring historian Robert Dallek. In March, she listened from Texas through a conference call when President Bush signed legislation naming the Education Department headquarters building in Washington, D. C., after her late husband. The longest-living first lady in history was Bess Truman, who was 97 when she died in 1982. Other former first ladies remembered Johnson on Wednesday as deeply devoted to her family and the environment. \"\" Her beautification programs benefited the entire nation."

"text": "In 1785, when Spanish colonial explorer Jose de Evia charted and named the Galveston Bay area in honor of his superior, New Spain Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez, the island’s only inhabitants were a little-known band of Indians called the Akokisa. Victims of an ever-dwindling population, the Akokisa were destined to fade away shortly after the turn of the century. By 1817, Galveston Island became the province of pirate Jean Lafitte and served as a base for slave trading, gambling, and saloons, all provided for buyers and fellow buccaneers. Lafitte’s enterprises thrived for several years, until he ran afoul of the American Navy and was forced to leave. During the 1830s, Galveston would also serve as home port to Navy ships engaged in the Texas War of Independence from Mexico. Buckled and broken homes line Galveston's streets after the 1900 storm. The City of Galveston was incorporated in 1839, and was well on its way to becoming a major U. S. port and a thriving commercial center. Located on a barrier island 30 miles long and several miles wide, the city continued to grow and prosper. By the turn of the century, Galveston’s population approached 40,000 and it seemed destined to become one of the biggest and most important cities along the Gulf Coast. Destiny, however, can be a capricious mistress, a fact that would become painfully clear on September 8, 1900."

The Ike Dike is a coastal barrier that will protect the entire Houston-Galveston region, including Galveston Bay, from hurricane-induced storm surge.2. Why do we need the Ike Dike? In the event of a massive storm surge, the Ike Dike will protect the region against the loss of life and property damage as well as protect the natural environment. Major (Cat 3 or higher) hurricanes make landfall on the upper Texas Coast on average every 15 years; so, it is a matter of when a hurricane will hit us not if one will hit. Besides being a major population and economic center, the Houston-Galveston region is home to the nation’s largest petrochemical complex and fourth largest port. Protecting this region is in the national interest as well as in the interests of the state and local citizens.3. Will the Ike Dike extend the Sea Wall? No."

"text": "\"Search and rescue teams sifted through wreckage across Texas Saturday after Hurricane Harvey slammed into the Gulf Coast as a powerful Category 4 storm, flattening mobile homes, tearing roofs off buildings and leaving more than 300,000 homes and businesses without power. Across southern Texas, officials had yet to uncover the full extent of the damage. Heavy rain and lashing winds had covered roads in debris, blocking access to many small towns and rural areas. Roy Laird, assistant chief with the Rockport Volunteer Fire Department, said three people were dead in Aransas County. Throughout the day, emergency responders combed through the debris of collapsed buildings, broken power poles and uprooted palm trees. With winds topping 130 mph, Harvey is the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley struck Florida in 2004, and the first to hit Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961. Even as Harvey weakened Saturday to a tropical storm with 65 mph winds, weather officials warned residents to expect \"\"extremely serious\"\" flooding, life-threatening storm surges and tornadoes. “Tropical storm barely moving,” the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in an afternoon advisory Saturday, noting that the storm was stalling about 45 miles northwest of Victoria and was not expected to leave the area for days. “ Torrential rains will continue. ”“This is just the beginning,” said Jeff Evans, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service ’s Houston/Galveston office. “"

"text": "\"The Galveston Seawall under construction, from the Texas Almanac 1904. The fact that the city of Galveston exists today is the triumph of imagination, hope and determination over reality. Perched precariously on a sand-barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston is subject to the whims of inevitable hurricanes. One of those hurricanes, dancing its deadly way across the Gulf of Mexico in early September 1900, came very close to dealing the city a fatal blow. An estimated 6,000 residents died, and most structures in the city were destroyed or badly damaged. In terms of human life, it remains the worst natural disaster in United States history. Galveston's leaders took several major steps to recover from the storm and to prevent a recurrence of the devastation. First, they developed a new form of municipal government, one with strong centralized control to handle the economic recovery of the city. Next, they built a massive seawall to turn back storm-generated waves. Perhaps the most amazing step they took was to raise the level of the entire city, by more than 16 feet in some areas, in order to keep flooding at a minimum."

[ 1] Making landfall over Galveston, at 2:10 a.m. CDT [2] on September 13, 2008, Category 2 Hurricane Ike caused extensive damage in Texas, with sustained winds of 110 mph (175 km/h), a 22 ft (6.8 m) storm surge, and widespread coastal flooding. [ 2] [3] [4]More than 140,000 residents in the Texas Gulf Coast danger zones in Ike's path had failed to evacuate, [5] partly due to fears of multi-hour traffic jams as during Hurricane Rita, but over 940 were rescued from rising waters, [2] [6] and nearly 2,000 rescued afterward.

[ 6]Some people survived by punching holes in attics, [11] climbing to rooftops or trees, [12] using nearby boats, or floating on debris [12] until reaching solid ground. Afterward, an estimated 100,000 homes had been flooded in Texas, and numerous boats washed ashore.

The category 4 storm devastated the island city, killing 1 in 6 residents and destroying most of the buildings in its path.

Walls caved in, streets buckled, and gas and water lines broke, allowing residents little time to take cover. The earthquake itself lasted less than a minute, but fires broke out across the city almost immediately, fueled by broken gas lines and a lack of water to put them out. Four days later, the earthquake and subsequent fire left more than half of San Francisco's population homeless, and had killed somewhere between 700 and 3000 people.

SMITHThe Daily News GALVESTON - The great storm that came roaring out of the Gulf of Mexico 100 years ago, destroying this island city and assuring its place in history, deserves its due. But the wind and water and death brought by the unnamed hurricane, even the acts of courage and sacrifice played out in its face, are only half the story. For while the story that began Sept. 8, 1900, is one about the fate of people at the hands of nature, it's also one about people altering their own fates by changing the face of nature. Storm and early aftermath Historians contend that between 10,000 and 12,000 people died during the storm, at least 6,000 of them on Galveston Island. More than 3,600 homes were destroyed on Galveston Island and the added toll on commercial structures created a monetary loss of $30 million, about $700 million in today's dollars.

PHOTOS: 1915 Galveston hurricane Amazingly, only 11 people died during this hurricane compared to the estimated 8,000 that died in the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900. The lower death toll is credited to a 24 hour advanced warning and the newly constructed seawall, built in response to the deadly 1900 hurricane. Houston recorded 80 mph winds but no fatalities.

"text": "\"Texas Hurricanes 1950 - 2015Most major storms that hit Texas usually start with A - B - Cby Scuba Mom I've lived in Texas most of my life from 1946 and developed a theory on which hurricanes generally hit the Texas coastline. Basically, most of the major ones have names beginning with the letter A, B, or C. I became curious to see if this was true and set about doing a bit of research to find out. The best hurricane information and data is provided by my favorite weather website - Weather Underground - www.wunderground.com The links from the storm names below will take you to a page within its historical /tropical/ pages and will show details of each storm. My theory proved right in most cases. While later storms with names starting with D through F came here off and on through the years, most were little ole tropical storms with winds under 70 mph that hardly even count as a \"\"big blow\"\" in this state. Probably because we get those famous cold front \"\"Texas Blue Northers\"\" that often pelt us with horrendous gale force winds. On the other hand, any storm that starts nudging 90 mph and up is considered serious in this state. You'll see that we had a few topping 175 mph in the charts below. I survived one of these, CELIA in 1970, and it was no fun. Storms were not named until 1950 and that is where I started my research, other than reviewing data on the great hurricane of 1919 which destroyed many parts of Corpus Christi with winds well over 100 mph."

In The Ultimate History of Video Games, Steven Kent states that \"\" [w]hen Nintendo went to New York, Super Mario Brothers, which would become the linchpin during the national launch of the NES, had not been introduced,\"\" 1 later explaining that \"\"the cartridge was available by the time Nintendo of America went national—the end of 1986.\"\" 2 Chris Kohler's Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life also gives the game a 1986 release, simply noting that \"\" [t]he US version of the Famicom, renamed the Nintendo Entertainment System, launched in New York City for Christmas 1985 with games like Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, and Donkey Kong, but not Super Mario Bros., which arrived in 1986.\"\" 3 Multiple Wikipedia discussions have spawned debating the actual release date of Super Mario Bros., but no conclusive answers seem to have been drawn. With the actual release date of Mario's first sidescrolling adventure remaining such a mystery, we at TMK decided that something had to be done. After all, how could we properly celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. if we didn't know exactly when that anniversary might be? The Adventure Begins Milwaukee Journal, October 5, 1985. Off to the search engines and databases we went! Preliminary Internet research seemed to reveal little new information, until another staff member directed me to Milwaukee Journal article from October 5, 1985. 4 In his video game column, Edward J. Semrad previewed Nintendo's then-upcoming NES, giving the names of 15 launch titles as well as several scheduled for release in 1986."

Answer by Cheezonpeaz41 Confidence votes 2.7KMario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto in 1981, in the game Donkey Kong. Since pixels were so large at the time, Mario's character had to be designed in a certain way. A hat was easier to show than hair, and a moustache was easier to show than a face. The colors of his outfit were chosen for high contrast--so that players could distinguish between the character and the background. Originally, Mario was named Jumpman, for obvious reasons. But the landlord of the warehouse where the Donkey Kong arcade games were kept, Mario Segale, demanded rent from Nintendo while the game was being brought to America. After the argument, Nintendo employees decided to rename the character after him.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "It's one of those quirks of history that Nintendo, a company synonymous with colourful characters and fun video games, made its very first independent venture into the world of arcade gaming with...a board game adaptation. While 1981's Donkey Kong and 1983's Mario Bros. are most people's introduction to Nintendo arcade games, the company's first coin-op video game machines actually date back to the late 1970's. Between 1973 and 1978, Nintendo, which was only just beginning to move away from its trading card, toy and other less savoury roots into the world of video games, released a range of arcade machines, most of them (with the exception of 1975's EVR Race and 1978's Test Driver) light gun shooters. The Nintendo They've Tried to Forget: Gambling, Gangsters, and Love Hotels Nintendo, the world's family-friendly video game maker, formed under less virtuous auspices.…Read more They were not, however, true video games. Each of these titles used a film projector to display pre-recorded imagery on a screen, and all the player had to do was shoot at things (or in Test Driver's case avoid obstacles) to progress. We'll look more closely at those early games another day (which are fascinating in their own right), but for now, we're focusing on what came next: actual electronic video games, running code and displaying real-time graphics. Two of these machines were released in 1978. The first was Computer Othello (top and left), a primitive adaptation of the classic board game. The other was called Block Fever, a shameless rip-off of established arcade hit Breakout. Both of these games would later be released on the Color TV series of home consoles."

Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and appeared in the game designer's first ever title, the 1981 arcade platformer, Donkey Kong. Miyamoto was hired as a graphic artist by Nintendo in 1977, and was given the task of designing a game after several of the company's early coin-ops had failed to make an impression on the lucrative arcade market. Donkey Kong was created using the hardware behind an older arcade title named Radar Scope, which sunk without a trace in the US. Miyamoto ditched the shooting theme and added an ape and rolling barrels. Success naturally followed.2. Mario was originally known as Jumpman."

[ 6] The console was released in November 2012 [7] [8] and was the first eighth-generation video game console, [9] [10] as it competed with Sony 's Play Station 4 and Microsoft 's Xbox One. The Wii U is the first Nintendo console to support HD graphics. The system's primary controller is the Wii U Game Pad, which features an embedded touchscreen, and combines directional buttons, analog sticks, and action buttons. The screen can be used either as a supplement to the main display (either providing an alternate, asymmetric gameplay experience, or a means of local multiplayer without resorting to a split screen ), or in supported games, to play the game directly on the Game Pad independently of the television. The Wii U is backward compatible with all Wii software and accessories – games can support any combination of the Game Pad, Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Balance Board, or Nintendo's more traditionally designed Classic Controller or Wii U Pro Controller for input. Online functionality centers around the Nintendo Network platform and Miiverse, an integrated social networking service which allows users to share content in game-specific communities. The Wii U was met with a generally positive reception, including praise for its Game Pad controller, improvements to online functionality over the Wii, backwards compatibility with existing Wii software and controllers, affordability in comparison to other eighth-generation consoles, and non-reliance on a subscription for online functionality. However, the Wii U received criticism in several areas, including the Game Pad's battery life and issues with the console's user interface and functionality, along with a weak lineup of launch titles and a lack of clear vision.

Players have to hit shots while taking into account character attributes, wind, weather, and course topography. The power, accuracy, and spin of shots are determined by the timing when the player taps buttons or the touch screen as a target line slides up and down the power meter. A simplified control system, like the Auto control system from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, returns where the player has to worry only about the power of the shot, at the expense of being unable to add topspin or backspin. The touch screen can now be used for selecting clubs, initiating shots, and adding spin."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Entertainment & Arts Games Video Games Super Mario Brothers When did the first super Mario game ever come out? Flag When did the first super Mario game ever come out? Answer by Lady Michiru Kaiou Confidence votes 36The first ever game starring Mario was Donkey Kong (1981) for the arcades, but the first Mario game with \"\"Super\"\" in the title was, of course, Super Mario Bros. (1985) for the NES. The girl that Jumpman had to rescue from Donkey Kong, Pauline, was named after Polly James, the wife of Don James, one of Nintendo's American staff. Mario's original name was Jumpman, until one of Nintendo of America's employees remarked that the character resembled No A's Italian landlord, Mario Segali, and so the name stuck. The only two games in which Mario has been the bad guy, was Donkey Kong Jr. (1982), when Mario kidnapped Donkey Kong & escaped to the jungle, where it was up to DK's son, Junior, to rescue his father, and Donkey Kong II, which was the direct sequel to 1981's Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong II did appear in arcades, but as a poor imitation of Donkey Kong with incorrect colours & sounds, but a version of Donkey Kong II was produced as a Multi-Screen Game & Watch, starring Junior that was very similar in gameplay to Donkey Kong, but had elements of Donkey Kong Junior, such as Snapjaws, Nitpickers (birds) and Electric Sparks. In 1983, Mario Bros. was released in the arcades, and since both players couldn't be Mario, this being the first ever simultaneous 2 player Mario game, Luigi was \"\"born\"\" as Mario's brother for the second player to use. This game could be either co-operative or competitive - player's choice. Then after a couple of relatively unknown Mario games outside of Japan, along comes 1985 & the NES with its famous pack-in title, Super Mario Bros. Most information has been taken from Game Over: Nintendo's Battle to Dominate Videogames by David Sheff (1993).6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "Gaming The Origins & History Of Mario [Geek History Lessons]Justin Pot July 11, 2012 5 minutes The Origins & History Of Mario [Geek History Lessons]Facebook Twitter Pinterest Stumbleupon Email Advertisement An Italian plumber created by a Japanese artist somehow became one of the most recognizable characters on earth. Featured in over 100 games, it’s hard to imagine Nintendo or even video games without this mustachioed man in red. But where did he come from? Our story begins in the early 1980’s with a struggling card and toy company – Nintendo – trying to break into a then-expanding market – arcade games. The company’s few attempts at making games were mixed at best, and a game called Radar Scope barely sold at all – leaving Nintendo with empty cabinets in need of a new game. Looking to try something new, Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi approached an artist named Shigeru Miyamoto – who until then worked on art for Nintendo’s games – and asked him to design a game for the cabinets. Miyamoto was not a programmer, and thought of a story before starting work on gameplay – perhaps the first time this has happened in the history of video games.1981: Donkey Kong The ultimate result was Donkey Kong, a love triangle between a man, his pet gorilla and his girlfriend. The game, while probably not the first platformer, defined the platform genre with its main character: “Jump Man”. He could move left and right, climb ladders and jump – over obstacles or from one platform to the next. It was very different from major video games of the time."

Although a major part of your search for a new car will likely revolve around the make, model and style of vehicle you seek, don’t neglect to look at the financial picture as well. Visit GOBanking Rates for the best deals, freebies, discounts and more >>>When looking for new car deals, timing can have a big impact on your pocketbook. In fact, waiting as few as a few months before making that purchase can save you money, according to car-buying experts. If your need for a new car isn’t urgent, exercise a bit of patience and you will likely reap dividend rewards. Now let’s look at a few reasons why certain times of the year are the best times to buy a new car, while other times of the year are the worst. Read: Why You Need a Spending Plan — Not a Budget The Best Time of Year to Buy a New Car Car-buying experts say you can typically save some money by buying a new vehicle at a specific time of the year, month, time of day or even day of the week. If you’re able to time your purchase accordingly, it could really be worth it.1. At the End of the Month This tip applies to any month of the year, so if you are really in a pinch to make a purchase soon, this can increase your chances of saving money. The customer who comes in ready to buy at the end of the month might get a better deal if it helps put the manager over the top for their quota, said Mike Rabkin, owner and founder of From Car to Finish, a national new car deals negotiating service and information provider."

As you know, pricing is very important whether you lease or buy. Different customers can pay widely different prices — for the same car, at the same dealer, on the same day — depending on each customer’s knowledge of how car pricing works. New car dealers expect most customers to negotiate price. Unfortunately, negotiating is not easy. Buying a new car is more like haggling for a donkey in Marrakech than buying a refrigerator at Sears. Dealers are able to quickly spot customers who don’t have the knowledge to negotiate well. Knowledge is key. Let’s take a look at how dealer pricing works.

"text": "\"The 7 Types of Car Incentives Car incentives were first introduced during the 1975 Super Bowl when pitchman Joe Garagiola began hawking Chrysler vehicles with the famous words \"\"Buy a car, get a check\"\"? Back then, Chrysler was offering $200 or $300 cash back to each customer - a far cry from the thousands of dollars that are regularly offered these days. Car incentives are definitely here to stay - but they do range widely from vehicle to vehicle. The domestic manufacturers (GM, Ford, Chrysler) tend to offer the most incentives while the foreign car makers are usually more refrained. Luxury brands tend to stay away from cash back rebates, but instead offer deals in other ways - usually through lease incentives and hidden dealer rebates. Let's take a look at all the different options currently available: Customer Incentives Customer incentives generally fall into 4 different categories: Cash Back Rebates Finance Incentives Lease Deals Loyalty Programs Bonus Cash Let's take a look at each one. Cash Back Rebates This is the most common and well-known type of car incentive. This is when car manufacturers offer cash rebates directly to the consumer when they purchase before a specified date. When a car has a cash back incentive, it usually means it's not selling as well as they would like. The incentives will typically be rolled over month after month and even increase as the year unfolds."

"text": "\"According to Edmunds.com, more car buyers than ever choose to purchase vehicles through auto brokers. But is a professional car-buying agent worth the money when you could broker your own deal at the dealership? In most cases, it depends on what you want to buy, whether that be a new car, a used car or a lease. It also depends on how much you know about the finer details of car buying and how much time you are willing to spend haggling at the dealership. The final consideration is cost. But if you hire an auto broker that is worth its salt, the price of its services will seem minuscule compared to the thousands of dollars you save on the deal. Types of Auto Brokers Car Broker/Auto Broker: May work for dealers, buyers or a combination of the two Can be a small company, an independent agent or a large, Internet-based service Often staffed by former car dealers or dealership managers who understand all the ins and outs of how dealers make money Club or Bank Car-Buying Service: Service provided for free or small charge by your bank, credit union, AAA or Costco Often has prearranged pricing with local dealers May not negotiate rates as low as a top auto broker but cuts down on time and hassle at minimum cost Car-Buying Concierge: Charges a flat fee, depending on value of vehicle Works in customer’s best interest, not dealership's Often offers delivery, signing and trade-in services How Can a Decent Auto Broker Save You Money? Auto brokers bring knowledge and negotiating skills to the table on your behalf. They know the intricacies of dealerships, financing and buying in a way that the typical car buyer will probably never learn. Usually, these brokers have years or decades of experience in the industry, often on the other side of the desk."

By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 19:00 EDT, 10 May 2000View comments If you're a private share investor, should you become a member of the electronic share trading system Crest? Four years ago, the London stock market went through a mini-revolution. For as long as there had been a stock market, paper share certificates had proved who owned the shares. But in 1996, a new electronic settlement system called Crest came in. The idea is that, eventually, no-one will have paper share certificates. Instead all shareholder records will be kept on computer. The advantage of Crest - which now handles most UK listed companies - is that it is cheap and convenient. While it is still possible to use paper share certificates and go through the old-fashioned clearance systems, the cost of trading might be higher than it is through Crest. Also, through Crest, the time it takes to complete a share deal has been cut."

Of the 67 counties included in the study, London is the most expensive place in which to get your car fixed, at an average £91.99 an hour for franchised and non-franchised garages combined. The report notes: ‘One franchised workshop in West London was found to be charging £215 an hour, the highest rate ever recorded by Warranty Direct in the 11 years of the study . '"

In addition to buying oversized bundles of toilet paper and aluminum foil, you can buy a car there, too. No, you can’t wheel it around in your cart, but you can realize huge savings. Several years ago, when my family was in the market for a new car, we decided a Chevrolet Suburban was the best choice for our needs. I heard I could buy a car through Costco, and being a happy Costco customer, I researched the car on Costco’s site. Since they work with local dealers, we called our local dealer, asked if they had Costco pricing, and were told yes. We drove to the dealer and started the process of buying our new car. Getting a great deal from Costco is easy. Here’s how. A Mistake I’ll Only Make Once Sadly, the experience was horrible, not because of Costco, but because I hadn’t followed the Costco process."

The Basics Further Reading Why Buying a New Car is Such a Hassle How Dealerships Really Make Money How Smart Car Buyers can Save $500,00012 Steps Every Car Buyer Should Follow What You Must Do Before Buying a Car What is the Lemon Law? Car Shopping is consistently rated as one of the worst experiences. And I can certainly relate to that. The main reason I started Real Car Tips was due to the terrible feeling I experienced after purchasing my first new car. I had no idea if I had negotiated a good deal or got ripped off. After tons of research, I finally realized why: The vehicle franchise laws in this country are totally outdated. It's against the law to purchase a new car anywhere other than through a franchised car dealership. That means new cars cannot be sold directly through the manufacturer, or any other entity for that matter. And yes, that includes online car buying services - all of which require you to complete the transaction with a dealer."

"text": "Earlier this summer, the car-buying research site True Car offered some stunning insights concerning car prices throughout the year. The takeaway from the numbers seemed to throw the conventional wisdom of when to buy a new automobile on its head. August, True Car data revealed, “has historically shown to have the lowest average transaction price of the year at $29,296.” After analyzing data from 2009 to 2013, the site concluded that consumers in August paid $716 less for a new car compared to all other months and declared that August may very well be “the best time of the year to buy a new car. ”What’s more, the numbers showed that Sunday is “typically the best day of the week to buy a new car,” with transaction prices that were $1,402 lower than the daily average, and that “the first two days of the month are the best time to shop for a new car,” because prices on those days represented an “average $390 in savings over the remaining days of the month. ”If you’ve ever read an article on the best time to buy a car, you’ll know that these tips basically spit in the face of the consumer expert consensus on the matter. For instance, a fairly boilerplate post from Kelley Blue Book offers this advice to shoppers who want to get the best prices on cars:• Buy around the last day of the month — dealers have monthly sales quotas • Buy at the end of the year — some dealers will clear out inventory for tax reasons Meanwhile, analysts at Edmunds.com are regularly quoted saying things like, “December has become one of the best times of the year to buy a new car,” and virtually every article on car buying mentions advice along the lines of: “As you might guess, the end of the month is often a good time to buy a car, particularly if salespeople are trying to meet their quotas or qualify for a monthly bonus. ”What gives? Should we throw out the conventional wisdom on when to buy a car? Well, yes, says True Car CEO Scott Painter. “"

"text": "\"Best Times to Buy a New or Used Car By: Kathy Teel July 23, 2012Share Tweet Pin It Email Print When we need a new car, most of us go car shopping at times of the day and week that are most convenient to us. But did you know that certain times are better than others for purchasing a new or used car? Follow these tips to get the best deals and the lowest prices. Best Hour of the Day for Auto Sales Many people think that going to the dealership right before close will get them the best deal on a used or new car, because the dealer will do anything to get them to leave. However, the dealer builds that time into his schedule...he closes the lot at 7 p.m., but is willing to stay late to make a sale. Actually, the best time to shop for a new or used car is first thing in the morning. The salesperson is more apt to cut a deal with the first customer of the day because that gives him a sale already under his belt. The best hour of the day to buy a new car, therefore, is the first hour the dealership is open. Best Day of the Week for Auto Sales Weekends are the most hectic time in auto sales. Dealers spend a lot of money trying to get you onto the lot with advertising, with sales and rebates, as well as other incentives like pony rides and sidewalk carnivals."

"text": "\"Buying a car is a pretty significant financial commitment. The actual \"\"deal\"\" you're making is interesting because it's a much bigger deal for you than the people you're buying it from. They didn't make the car and after selling it, don't really care one way or another whether you like it or can afford it. It's also a zero sum game, in that they're trying to sell it for the maximum price the market will bear and you're trying to buy it for the lowest price a dealer will let it go for. As the resident salesperson in my social network, I've literally helped dozens of people buy cars. I don't think I can communicate exactly what it takes to get the lowest price, if I did I wouldn't keep going with people to help them buy cars. It's an unpleasant experience every single time. Good deals are like war, one side may come out ahead but expect blood and sacrifice and heavy casualties on both sides. I once helped a person get such a low price on a lease they dealer called them back every year asking them to trade it in. I once helped a friend (now my wife) get such a low price after 6 hours in a shitty conference room in the back of a dealership that they called her back the next day offering to buy the car back."

"text": "Why You Should (Almost) Never Lease A Car By Lou Carlozo • August 20, 2014A car lease gives you a brand-new car for a low monthly payment; what’s not to like? Everything. Here are the many reasons why you should never lease a car. We make choices every day based on personal preference: coffee versus tea, boxers versus briefs, etc. Some financial choices, however, aren’t so clear cut. After all, we can’t make spending decisions based on preference alone. If we did, we might all be living in luxury for a brief period before landing in bankruptcy. An obvious, often misunderstood example is buying versus leasing a car. The decision to buy or lease a car seems like one of preference: Would you rather always drive a new car at a relatively low monthly payment or finance a car that you’ll someday own outright? Of course we have to remind you that, financially, the best way to buy a car is to pay cash for something pre-owned to avoid paying both interest and off-the-lot depreciation."

"text": "The Best Time to Buy a New Car Timing your car purchase is very important if you want to get the best deal possible. Dealerships are pressured to sell during certain periods, so catching them during these times will give you maximum negotiation leverage. Not only will you land a better deal, but it will be a much easier negotiation process. I'm going to start from the best time of year to purchase, and take you all the way through to the best time of day to purchase. Best Time of Year Not everyone has the luxury of choosing exactly when to buy a new car. If your current vehicle gets totaled or stolen, you pretty much have to replace it right away. But for those who can wait, there are a few times during each year that offer the best negotiation opportunities. Most insiders agree the best time of year to purchase is the week between Christmas and New Year. Most people aren't shopping for cars during this time, and every dealer is striving to meet end-of-year sales goals. This is especially a good time to purchase a leftover model."

By Lee Boyce Published: 09:12 EDT, 10 December 2012 | Updated: 11:15 EDT, 11 December 2012102View comments I am a commuter who drives into London on a daily basis. After reading the stor y that electric cars may soon be the only vehicles to be exempt from the £10-a-day London congestion charge and being in creasingly concerned about my carbon footprint, I have been toying with the idea of buying one. I currently travel ten miles back and forth from the office, Monday to Friday, and roughly drive a maximum of 30 miles over the weekend. My question is how much would it add to my electricity bills and how easy is it to find charging points around London? I have been looking at snapping up either the Nissan Leaf or the Renault Twizy. Twizy vs Leaf: How much would they each cost to charge on a weekly basis with my usage? Lee Boyce, motoring correspondent for This is Money, says: Fuel prices have soared in the last ten years – unleaded prices were 74.9p a litre in December 2002 and diesel 76.2p. Today, average unleaded prices sit at 133.1p a litre and 141.1p for diesel. At the same time, road tax has gone up while car insurance costs are 61 per cent higher than they were at the end of 2006."

"text": "Facebook Twitter G+The Three Best Times to Buy a New Car By Lauren De Angelis | March 26, 2010If you’re thinking of buying a new car, 2010 is your year. The auto industry may be on the slow rise, but it’s still far from reaching its pre-recession sales momentum -- and Toyota’s highly publicized recalls mean there are more deals out there than ever. To get people back into showrooms, Toyota is offering zero-percent financing for up to five years on most of its models. And to compete, several other automakers are following suit -- Ford, Honda and Chevy are all offering the lowest financing and lease rates we’ve seen in a while. “It is going to be a lot tougher to get these killer deals next year,” says Jesse Toprak, vice president of Industry Trends and Insights at True Car.com. “ There will be less excess inventory for dealers to get rid of. ”But with or without the great incentives, you can still give yourself a leg up by walking into the dealership at the right time of month, or even on the right day. The pricing experts at True Car collect and analyze real-time data from car buyers and dealers to show how much people paid for a particular car at a given time. The results give unique insight into the times of year and days dealers are likely to offer the biggest discounts.1. End of the Calendar Year According to True Car’s data, the absolute best day to buy a car in 2010 will be December 26."

"text": "Why Labor Day Is the Best Time to Buy a Car By Jennifer Saranow Schultz September 1, 2010 3:09 pm Comment Kent Nishimura/Bloomberg News Consumers will be able to find model-year closeout deals this Labor Day as dealers try to clear out excess 2010 inventory. If you’re considering buying a new car, you may want to consider buying it this weekend. According to Juan Flores, director of vehicle valuation for Kelley Blue Book, Labor Day is traditionally the best time to buy a car. That is because manufacturers offer generous incentives on current-year models to clear them out and make room on dealer lots for vehicles from the next model year, which traditionally start arriving this month. “If you just isolated this calendar year, Labor Day is the best time to buy,” he said. So how do this year’s Labor Day deals compare with past ones? While some auto industry experts have said that consumers will find some of the best Labor Day deals ever this holiday weekend thanks to a recovering auto industry, Mr. Flores said he didn’t believe deals would be any better over all than last year. The reason, he said, is that manufacturers have worked in recent years to cut back their inventories so there isn’t as much excess of 2010 vehicles. Still, this doesn’t mean the deals this year won’t be generous. “The assumption is that this year is somehow a special year,” Mr. Flores said. “"

There’s a loud whiny noise every time I turn the steering wheel, which likely means the power steering box is cracked. Moose drips engine oil everywhere he goes and now he leaks coolant!With a Blue Book value of only around $3,000, spending ~$1,000 to fix doesn’t seem prudent. It costs around $100 to fill up his 24 gallon tank and he only gets roughly 16 miles per gallon. Luckily I only drive about 6,500 miles a year. The other reason why I’m looking to buy a new car is due to the advancement in safety features. Better brakes, better traction control, and more airbags would be nice. I’m not even sure my airbags work after 13 years!One of my all time favorite things to do is spend time at a car dealer. There’s nothing like inhaling that new car smell and taking the latest models for a spin for free. All told I’ve probably visited a car dealership 30 times in the last 12 months and probably over 100 times in the last five years."

July 31, 2012, 12:02 PM · Over the past 12 months, I've had the good fortune to visit 10 of the 11 Disney theme parks around the world. ( And, yes, that is just as much fun as it sounds!) So why not wrap up my Grand Tour de Disney with a blog post ranking the 10 parks I visited? To rank the parks, I considered each of them head-to-head against each other, then ranked them in the order in which I'd most want to visit each of them for a full day. In doing that, I tried to consider each park on an equal basis - assuming a sunny, 78-degree day with an average crowd level, no rides down for refurbishment, and an equal amount of time since I'd last visited all the parks. In other words, on a perfect day. : ^)The weather factor is important, because, let's face it, if you've got one day in February to visit any Disney theme park in the world, you're probably going to pick Florida, simply because of the weather. But I wanted these rankings to reflect the quality of the parks themselves, and not where they sit on the globe. Also, Hong Kong Disneyland's not on the list because it is the 11th park - the one I didn't visit this year. ("

I've been to Disney World many times, and since Disneyland is only about 5-6 hours from Phoenix we thought we would road trip over there. How many days are needed to do the 2 Disneyland parks?

It might have been a rough Christmas for tourists visiting Disney 's ( NYSE: DIS) flagship theme parks on both coasts, but that is ultimately welcome news for the family entertainment giant's shareholders. Disney had to temporarily close Disneyland in California and Magic Kingdom in Florida on Thursday morning after both theme parks reached their maximum capacity. The two have become popular Christmas attractions, and it only helps that Disney-owned ABC keeps the buzz percolating by airing its annual Christmas morning special showcasing parades at both iconic parks. This year's installment -- Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration -- was the 31st annual airing, and the House of Mouse again cashed in on the success of last year's animated blockbuster Frozen. Guests arriving too late at Disney's Ticket and Transportation Center in Florida -- the parking lot gateway to the Magic Kingdom -- were advised to head to one of the resort's three other theme parks. Things didn't get any easier on the West Coast, where resort guests were told to hit up Disney's California Adventure adjacent to the original theme park. Oh boy! # Disneyland Christmas pic.twitter.com/Qh1bws GY2A— Patrick (@patrickzfilms) December 25, 2014Those who got in might not necessarily consider themselves the fortunate ones.

"text": "\"Disneyland, seen last year, had to turn away visitors for several hours on Christmas Day because of large crowds. ( Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)The Happiest Place on Earth became pretty miserable for guests who showed up on Christmas morning only to find Disneyland Park temporarily closed after reaching maximum crowd capacity. In fact, the Magic Kingdom in Florida reportedly also reached capacity on Thursday, forcing the park to temporarily close its gates until the crowds thinned out. The park in Anaheim closed its gates for about four hours, starting around 11 a.m., according to park officials. Park guests who couldn't get in were urged to visit Disney's adjoining California Adventure Park or return later in the day. Disneyland officials wouldn't say how often they must close entrance gates because of excessive crowding, adding only that it happens very rarely. The park also won't reveal attendance numbers, but a Los Angeles-based engineering and construction-management company has estimates that Disneyland attendance grew 1.5% in 2013 over the previous year and attendance grew 6% at the Magic Kingdom. Theme park experts say the park has two options: keep hiking daily admission rates until the crowds become manageable or expand the park. On Twitter, several Disney fans who were turned away at the gate expressed their sorrow with crying emoticons. A Disney fan from Washington state wrote on Facebook: \"\"Very disappointed!"

Two years earlier, in July 1953, Walt Disney asked Harrison \"\"Buzz\"\" Price to calculate the optimal location for a new type of theme park, one with a single entrance, hidden from nearby streets, with custom rides that put storytelling ahead of thrills. Price analyzed 40 years of population data to determine that the best available 160-acre site in the Los Angeles metro area, with Interstate highway access, would be in Anaheim. Based in part on his success in siting Disneyland, Disney later hired Price to determine the location of Walt Disney World, which Price sited southwest of Orlando, Florida. Price, who passed away in 2010, went on to do feasibility studies that led to theme parks and new developments for Universal, Six Flags, Busch Gardens and Sea World. Walt's brother and business partner, Roy Disney, hired C. V. Wood, Price's boss, to build the park."

"text": "Disneyland raises ticket prices, eliminates Southern California Annual Passby Erik, May 18, 2014In a very shocking move, Disneyland in California has raised their ticket prices overnight significantly, bringing their one day, one park pass to just under $100 dollars. The park has also raised their annual pass prices, as well as their parking prices, and even eliminated their cheaper annual pass for Southern California Residents. While ticket prices are nothing new for the Florida parks, which cater to international travelers, the California parks have catered to more of the local residents and have not been as quick to raise prices. Effective today, the price of a one day, one park theme park ticket to either one of the two parks at Disneyland Resort is $96 dollars for people ages 9 and up. All park hopper tickets also went up on average of $7 dollars, and annual passes increased by an average of $20 dollars. The most popular annual pass for Southern California Residents-The So Cal Annual Passport has been eliminated completely, leaving residents to either push up to the higher priced Premium Annual Passport for over $100 dollars more a year, or jump down to the Select So Cal Passport which has a significantly fewer amount of days available to visit the parks. We’ve been told that the reason for discontinuing the So Cal Pass is because too many people were buying it, leading to overcrowding in the parks. Disney theme park attendance is consistently up, and should be for last year as well, which is why the parks decide to raise ticket prices. However, California parks were not as quick to raise ticket prices as high as their Florida counterparts, which is always in stiff competition with the likes of Universal Orlando. While the price of a one day adult ticket has been raised to $96 dollars, the price of a one day ticket in Florida is $99 dollars, making it the most expensive non-inclusive theme park ticket in the world."

We will prob take breaks in the afternoons. Im welcome to any suggestions to this schedule to really maximize our time. I know we have 5 days but we had 3 last time and it was so rushed, we fully took advantage of fastpasses, but didnt do parades or shows. Universal day is pretty set to avoid traffic. Should we do magic morning on Sat or Tues? Are Sat magic mornings more crowded bc its the weekend?"

( AP)CHARLESTON, W. Va. - West Virginia lottery players are on a roll this year, with nine people winning Powerball tickets worth at least $1 million. While five other states have had more people win $1 million or more, West Virginia is No. 1 per capita, averaging one Powerball ticket worth $1 million for every 200,000 of its 1.8 million residents. \"\" It's just a lucky streak that we're on that's amazing,\"\" said Randy Burnside, a spokesman for the West Virginia Lottery. \"\" Hopefully we'll have a lot more this year. \"\" The odds of winning are the same anywhere Powerball is played. So far this year, there have been 161 Powerball tickets nationwide that have won $1 million, matching the first five numbers in the six-number game. After Saturday's drawing, only five states sold more of those $1 million-plus tickets than West Virginia, all with much larger populations: New York (19), Florida (17), California (13) and Pennsylvania and Texas (10), said executive director Chuck Strutt of the Urbandale, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, which oversees Powerball. California is the king of the grand-prize winners, selling two of the four Powerball tickets matching all six numbers this year."

A $2 ticket gives you a one in 292,201,338 shot of matching five numbers and the Powerball. Those odds are now far worse than they had been before October, when your chances were one in about 175 million, thanks to a change in the game's rules that added 10 more digits, among other tweaks. But the game also pays out other, smaller prizes. In the last drawing, 29 New Jersey residents won $50,000 apiece after picking four numbers and the Powerball. N. J. restaurant staff thought they won the Powerball However, the screams of celebrations quickly went silent in Englewood Cliffs Saturday after realizing the Grissini Ristorante bartender had read the winning numbers from the previous drawing. Ticket sales have been brisk. New Jersey Lottery retailers sold $15,517,572 on Tuesday, New Jersey Lottery spokeswoman Judy Drucker said. On Monday, lottery players bought $9,230,546 in tickets; sales figures on Sunday totaled $4,608,282, according to Drucker. No one has hit the Powerball jackpot since a $144.1 million ticket was sold in Tennessee for the Nov. 4 drawing."

It is the base of operations for Captain Hook and is the only place in Neverland that can be considered \"\"pirate territory\"\" (other than Skull Rock ). Contents [ show]Appearances Peter Pan It is first seen in Peter Pan. When Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, Wendy, John, and Michael scared off the pirates, they desert their ship, leaving Peter to temporarily commandeer it. Peter uses it to take the Darlings back home by having Tinker Bell cover it with pixie dust, enabling it to fly. Return to Never Land It is last seen in Return to Never Land, where the pirates are back in control of the ship. During the start of the film, it is apparent that the pixie dust that was used in the first film is still in effect; however, Wendy's story that she tells Jane and Danny states that the ship was covered in pixie dust during a successful treasure theft (courtesy of Peter Pan), which contradicts what occurred in the first film, however, it is very possible that it was recovered in Pixie Dust or that Wendy just made the story up. The ship is mistaken for a bomber when Jane is kidnapped and Hook and his crew are forced to escape as the Germans attack London. It, again, serves as Hook and his crew's home base (Skull Rock having apparently been forgotten or abandoned). During the end of the film, the Jolly Roger is destroyed when Hook is sent plummeting through several floors of it (with help from a heavy anchor) and crashes into the Octopus, who, having been sent into a rage because of his blunder, destroys the ship all in an attempt to eat Hook alive."

We where thinking about going to disneyland around the first week of november are the decorations up by then? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It's a work in progress. Right after Halloween (Nov. 2) they start to take Halloween decorations down and Christmas up. They leave The Nightmare Before Christmas Decorations up until Jan. 5th. On Friday, Nov. 21st the Christmas Parade and Holiday Fireworks will start. Also that is the day It's A Small World Holiday will reopen. I know mid-November the Christmas tree went up last year. I can't remember the exact day but before Nov. 13th for sure. If you look at the website below you can see the schedule."

"title": "https://www.gci.org/church/holidays/halloween\nShould Christians Celebrate Halloween?",
"text": "\"Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? May Christians and their children participate in Halloween activities? To answer this question, we should first distinguish the secular observance of Halloween from such important Christian festival days as Christmas and Easter. Christmas celebrates the birth of our Savior, and Easter commemorates his resurrection. Both these Christian holidays memorialize profound aspects of the life of Jesus. Halloween has no such Christian spiritual features. True, this holiday falls on October 31, which is the eve of All Saints Day, which is a festival day celebrated by some Christian churches. However, the modern celebration of Halloween is not generally thought of as a time of worship. The day does have religious significance for some people, particularly wiccans and druids. For some people and in some regions, Halloween or some of its elements may have a non-Christian religious meaning."

Source Diablo is Maleficent 's pet raven and the secondary antagonist in Disney 's 1959 animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty . Contents [ show]Background He appears to have a similar role to the raven in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. However, he plays a larger role in the storyline and is in almost every scene that Maleficent appears in. In addition, unlike the raven in Snow White, he is completely and genuinely loyal to Maleficent and, unlike the rest of her servants, he is competent and easily succeeds in his task to find Aurora. He is also the only one Maleficent genuinely cares about, and she is visibly horrified when he is turned to stone. In return, he apparently cares a great deal for Maleficent, specifically seen when he fell into despair alongside her after her goons were revealed to have been searching for a baby for sixteen years, as opposed to a teenager, which Aurora would have been at that point in time. Unlike her goons, who Maleficent constantly abuses and treats as pathetic wastes, he serves as her confidante and assistant, more so than her lackey, joining her more often than not from scene to scene, and having complete knowledge of her devious plots."

Listen to the Disney Diva and just realize… there are GREAT times to go to Disney World when crowds are lower, and there are CRAZY times to go to Disney World where parks look like this, but ANY day at Disney World is a good one!In today’s article I’m going to tell you about what I consider to be the best times (because crowds are low) and what I consider to be worst times (because crowds are crazy high). I personally am miserable when I’m in large crowds. I’m also extremely impatient and get cranky when I have to wait for things (which may be why they call me a Diva… I dunno) AND ng I don’t like to have to pay more to stay and play at Disney! Chances are you DON’T want to be stuck in this craziness, especially if its your first trip, which is why you are reading this page right right now! ( you clever, clever thing! ) Here’s a tip: If kids have been let out of school or there is a Run Disney race event going on you don’t want to go."

It was announced at D23 Expo 2015, and is produced by Gameloft. Contents [ show]Gameplay The game is basically the \"\"tycoon\"\" formula, where you get to design a theme park similar to the Magic Kingdom from Walt Disney World. To expand the park, the player has to undo a curse cast upon by Maleficent, as shown by the dark areas in the park. Characters Though the characters available in the game are limited, each character has a storyline that you can play through quests. Unlocking most characters costs magic, while unlocking premium 'extra' characters cost gems. Premium characters do not affect the overall storyline, but will begin to have their own quests after being unlocked. After unlocking a character, each character can level up by collecting the 'tokens' to do so. These are obtained by completing quests, buying with elixir, and winning in chests. Each level up will require more tokens, more magic, and more time than the previous level up."

It was originally the only attraction on the property; its official name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s. Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953."

Accordingly, the Lottery was required to provide at least 34% of its revenues to public education, supplementing (not replacing) other funds provided by California. Another 50% of its revenues must be paid to the public in the form of prizes, making a mandated minimum of 84% of all funds that must be given back to the public in the form of prizes or funds for public education. The remainder, a maximum of 16%, was to be spent on administration, such as salaries and running the games. On April 8, 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Bill 142 (Hayashi, D-Hayward). [ 1] Amending the Lottery Act, this bill reallocates Lottery revenues \"\"so as to maximize the amount of funding allocated to public education.\"\" As an urgency statute, this bill took effect immediately. The new allocation increased to at least 87% the portion of Lottery revenue returned to the public, and correspondingly decreased to a maximum of 13% the amount spent on administration."

I have come up with a large number of patterns or lotto filters, as you can see in my Super Power lotto software (the WS files). It would be a huge task, unmanageable for a single programmer, to write a program that would check all the parameters, combine them in all possible lottery systems, and select the most-likely-to-win strategies. When I started, it was the world of 16-bit DOS computing, with the file size limit of 640 KB. I would have needed many, many megabytes. Now, it is 32-bit Windows lotto software, but it is very, very slow compared to Command Prompt (in the case of lottery software, which is highly CPU-intensive). DOS is now called Command Prompt. I have had no choice (and not much time) but let the computer show me the reports of the parameters (i.e. how the lottery filters fared in the past)."

"text": "What to Do with Poo – The Art and Science of Dog Poop Disposal Oh, joy! Time to discuss everyone’s least favorite topic in excruciating detail… let’s talk POO, people! If you’re a longtime dog person, you might find it hard to imagine that anyone would need a tutorial about what to do with poop, but you’d be surprised. These days, there’s a dazzling array of supplies aimed at helping people conveniently dispose of dog feces, so it can be difficult to figure out what to buy and how to use it – and where the heck to put that poop once you’ve picked it up!Poo Pickup and Removal in the Yard Things can get pretty icky in your yard if you have a dog and don’t have a good pickup plan. I’m a fan of either picking the poop up immediately each time the dog goes or getting on a schedule of some kind. You might want to get in the habit of picking up every evening before you go to bed, or first thing in the morning. If your yard is big enough (or your dog is small enough! ), you might be able to scoop less frequently and have one or two designated cleanup days each week. If you like to delegate responsibilities (especially the icky ones!) around the house, you can make this a chore for a kid (or the roommate who loses the coin toss)."

"text": "\"Garbage Collectors In some states, workers picking up trash run an average of 20 miles a day behind a garbage truck By David Tuller, M. P. H. Garbage collector David Richard was on his usual pickup route in Boca Raton, Florida, when a fluke accident ended his life. No one knows what happened, but Richards was standing behind his truck when it started moving in reverse. It knocked him over, dragging him 20 feet before crashing through a fence. Firefighters found him dead when they arrived. At first glance, garbage collecting may not seem extremely hazardous. But research shows that it can in fact be both dangerous and even deadly. A report from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) shows that between 1980 and 1992, 450 sanitation workers aged 16 or older died in incidents involving refuse collection. Two thirds of these deaths were vehicle related, and most occurred when the worker slipped or fell from a refuse-collection truck and was struck or run over by their own vehicle. Unfortunately, the risk of injury and death hasnt improved much since then. In 2007, the Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that refuse and recyclable materials collectors had a fatality rate of 22 per 100,000 workers, placing them among occupations with high fatality rates."

He also has to deal with dead animals, car batteries, barbed wire and broken Christmas lights. These are just a few of the things people toss into recycling bins that are not even remotely close to being recyclable. People on the other end have to sort it out. Eperiam is one of them, along with more than 40 other sorters at Waste Management’s Cascade Recycling Center here. One of their jobs is to pull non-recyclable items off conveyor belts that run through the plant. “We have to go in there and clean them out, at the risk of getting us injured, and at the same time it reduces the performance of the machines,” he said. “ Day in, day out, you’ll see dirty diapers coming down, nonstop. ”About 550 tons of material — 1.1 million pounds — are brought to the plant every weekday. The 8,200-square-foot building takes in curbside recycling from most of Snohomish County, the Eastside suburbs of Seattle and parts of central Washington, said Waste Management spokeswoman Robin Freedman."

"text": "Trash Talk: The average American produces 102 tons of garbage in a lifetime Trash Talk: The average American produces 102 tons of garbage in a lifetimeby Street Roots | 16 Aug 2012By Maggie Taranawa, Contributing Writer Of all the things to study, why study trash? The late William Rathje, archeologist and founder of the Garbage Project, probably heard a similar question many times in his career. Using a bucket auger to take core samples of landfills, Rathje and his team unearthed decades of waste that would have otherwise never seen the light of day. Rathje’s Garbage Project also unearthed new knowledge about what happens to trash once it’s tossed, what you can determine about a person just by studying his or her trash, and how good we are at fooling ourselves about how much healthy food we eat (our refuse tells the true story). Author Edward Humes has been studying garbage, too. His new book, “Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash” (Avery, $27), shows us mind-bogglingly huge landfills, sobering statistics (the average American is slated to produce 102 tons of trash in his or her lifetime) and concrete solutions to our collective wastefulness. Both Humes and Rathje would probably agree: Getting to know our trash better, and understanding where it goes once we toss it, might be key to making less of it. Maggie Taranawa: In your book “Garbology,” you mention how the Environmental Protection Agency has underestimated the amount of trash that Americans produce. Some 140 million tons go unaccounted for in its calculations. Why do you think this is, and where did you find more accurate statistics?"

Recycling Image Gallery Depending on which part of the country a person lives in and where the information is coming from, estimates are that an average person in the U.

That trash comes from all sorts of things: used food containers (bottles, cans, and pizza boxes), old newspapers and magazines, worn-out clothing, worn-down carpet, used-up batteries, broken appliances and toys.

Since 1970, every April 22, Earth Day reminds us to do just that. If you think we have more pressing matters to deal with than keeping Mother Earth in shape, consider the people of Afghanistan.

This is a topic that a lot of people get confused about so in this special report I will explain exactly what Leo Ascendant means and how it will affect you in the coming months. The term Leo ascendant and rising sign are used interchangeably and directly refer to the zodiac sign located on the Eastern horizon when a person was born. The ascendants shift in two hour intervals where each sign of the Zodiac are being represented on one 24-hour day. This means that a person usually enters his ascendant for two-hours in a day. The ascendant will embody an individual’s in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Essentially, an ascendant Leo is the mask which one wears when initially meeting other people.

Some astrologers draw this range as one day before and one day after the sign changes. The cusp is generally interpreted to mean a blending of the qualities of two Sun Signs. Yet the year you were born is the best indication of what sign you are. At the time of your birth, the sun was in one sign or the other, if even in zero degrees. In Karmic Astrology, birth on a cusp is interpreted as “unfinished business” from previous lifetimes. This lifetime is about finishing that final lesson to move into the soul refining challenges presented through the next sun sign. Get more personalized information, contact a psychic today!Born on the cusp Being born on the cusp could be described as standing on a threshold between two rooms, not exactly in one or the other, with the ability to step either forward or back depending on what’s happening in your life. This can be the source of flexibility and complexity, or it can be the cause of a great deal of confusion. Some cusp babies literally feel pulled in two, as the zodiac signs right next to each other are different in element, quality and presentation."

From this date onwards it is in full strength until November 20th and is then for seven days gradually losing its strength on account of becoming overlapped by the \"\"cusp\"\" of the incoming sign - Sagittarius. Symbols for Scorpio are the scorpion, a ground-dwelling killer with a poisonous sting in its tail, and the eagle, a far-seeing predator soaring above petty problems into the spiritual sky. People born in this section of the year seem to be filled with inherent contradiction. The best and the worst seem to make this period their chosen battlefield. Up to nearly twenty years of age, they are usually extremely pore-minded, virtuous, and religious, but once their nature is roused they are often found to swing in the opposite direction. At the same time, the greatest saints have been found in this period. People who were born in this section of the year have great magnetic power, and as speakers, they appeal to the emotions and sentiments of their public more than to logic, but they sway their audiences as they choose. They are the searchers of the zodiac and have an insatiable desire for knowledge on every level. From spiritual and intellectual revelations, these people want the edge on everybody else."

"text": "The Gospel in the Stars: Part 1By J. R. Church on July 17, 2011Long before men perverted the message of the constellations and established ancient idolatry, God named the stars and set them in the heavens for signs:“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (Genesis 1:14). The book of Job predates the writing of Genesis. Though it is part of the Bible, it was written about a man who lived before Moses. Job had no written Bible. The Bible this ancient pilgrim read consisted of a series of constellations that appeared in the night skies high above the earth. There are references to these constellations in the book of Job, along with an explanation of why they appear as they do in the heavens. Job 26 tells us that the “crooked serpent” is one of God’s leading characters in this drama of the ages and that these constellations — these “pillars of heaven” — make up the “parts” of God’s “ways”:“The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. “By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.“ Lo, these are parts of his ways … (Job 26:11,13-14). These verses explain that the constellations were devised to teach early man about God’s plan for redemption."

This is primarily because of the influence of your zodiac signs. Zodiac Signs - Compatibility What are Zodiac Signs? Everyone is born under one of the twelve zodiac signs, and their personalities, preferences, likes and dislikes, and their actions and reactions, are influenced by the characteristics innate to these signs. If you were born under the sign of Aries, for instance, you are generally dynamic with lots of energy and charisma, and you face challenges head on, sometimes throwing caution to the wind. Your officemate, on the other hand, might be a Libra – someone who's fair, and likes to weigh consequences carefully before moving ahead. So he or she might not easily agree to go with you on a spontaneous shopping spree. These characteristics are what draw you to some people, and their also why you tend to clash with others."

Your Rising Sign indicates how you interact with other people and represents the mask that others encounter before they get to know the real you. It can also have a major influence on your physical appearance. While the Sun takes around a month to travel through each sign, the rotation of the Earth means that the sign rising on the horizon changes every two hours. So, your Rising Sign is determined by the time and place you were born and explains why someone born on the same day of the same year may be very different from you.

"text": "\"Chelsea Meissner, RN, BSNAnswered Aug 27, 2015 · Author has 5.1k answers and 7.4m answer views Originally Answered: How does ovulation influence when you can get pregnant and is it possible to get pregnant on the last day of ovulation? Ovulation occurs when a mature ovum (egg) is released from the ovary. Once released, the ovum only survives for about 24- 36 hours (a 2 - 3 day window), so in order to get pregnant, sperm must be present in the female body at the same time that ovulation occurs. It can take as little as 30 minutes and as long as several days for sperm to reach the ovum. Nature has accommodated for the narrow window the ovum is available with the fact that sperm can live within the female reproductive system for about 5 days. To be clear, that means that if you have unprotected sex within 5 days prior to ovulation and then including the 2 - 3 day window around ovulation, the sperm can survive long enough to fertilize the egg. In general, ovulation occurs halfway through your menstrual cycle. For women with a 28 day cycle, this would be on day 14. This is not an exact thing, though. Getting your period is actually a better estimate of when you ovulated last, rather than when you'll ovulate next; that's really how the period apps work."

During a 28 day cycle you should ovulate on day 14. This can vary and be a little early or later. The key concept according to my OB/GYN is that the luteal phase is 14 days long (see below for further information). He recommends having sex between CD8 and 18 every other day if you are trying to get pregnant (CD= cycle day, counting CD1 as the first day you start your period).

Pregnancy symptoms start after implantation. So if sperm meets egg (during the time of ovulation) it will get fertilised and will divide itself into different cells. This fertilised egg will travel through your Fallopian tube into the uterus and then embed itself into the wall of the uterus. ( The uterus will prepare a bed will blood and other tissue to protect the egg.) so this egg embeds itself into this bed. During the embedding there will little bleeding. Not heavy but light, only spotting because it is tiny. This means embryo implanted into the uterus. Now the hcg will be produced."

"text": "\"Want To Get Pregnant Fast? Know Your Days. There are only six days during any cycle when a woman can get pregnant - the five days leading up to ovulation and the 24 hours after ovulation. This is because sperm can live for up to 5 days in a woman's body, and the ovum lives for only 12-24 hours. However, the key to knowing when to get pregnant is to know when you ovulate. Figuring out the exact timing of ovulation can be tricky, because it does not happen at exactly the same time each cycle. How Can Cycle Beads Help You Know When You Can Get Pregnant? Cycle Beads lets you know when you can get pregnant by identifying 12 potentially fertile days each cycle – Days 8 through 19, where Day 1 is the first day of your period. These 12 days take into account the 6 days when pregnancy is possible as well as the variability in the timing of ovulation from one cycle to the next. Surveys of women using Cycle Beads to get pregnant show that they are highly successful, with more than 80% of women getting pregnant within 6 months and the vast majority achieving pregnancy within the first 3 months of trying to conceive."

Non-digital tests can have a faint line, a dark line, an in-between line, and anything in between.

Others just can’t tell and they wonder for a while whether or not they’re truly pregnant. That’s why women love the digital pregnancy test. It says, “Pregnant,” or “Not Pregnant,” which makes the results beyond clear. The way in which the digital pregnancy test works is by detecting the level of h CG in your urine. This is the pregnancy hormone used to tell whether or not a woman is pregnant. While some women have h CG present in their urine at all times, the levels are below 5 m IU, which is considered not pregnant and will not show up on any type of pregnancy test."

The timing of ovulation is complex and can take some studying of your body and cycles to figure out. By using a combination of methods such as observing your cervical fluid, taking your basal body temperature daily, and tracking your periods, you can better identify your time of ovulation. The American Pregnancy Association encourages women to learn about the fertility awareness method of tracking cycles and combine that with using ovulation predictor kits to best understand when you are ovulating. The Association estimates that ovulation occurs anywhere between 11-21 days after the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), or 12-16 days from when you expect the next menstrual period to start. Order a Fertility Kit or Monitor If you are trying to get pregnant, you may want to download a free copy of the Essential Guide to Getting Pregnant. This e-book has information and tips for getting pregnant quicker and easier. Take your questions to the Free Forum right now!Don’t women ovulate on the 14th day after their period starts? Unfortunately, this is a myth that many, including healthcare professionals, still believe. The “14th-day” thinking appears to come from either taking the average of when all women ovulate or from just dividing the 28-day cycle in half."

That being said, I'll give the common disclaimers that being pregnant is a miracle, etc etc, I love my daughter more than I knew possible, I'd fight off a grizzly bear to protect her (seriously, the primal urge to love and protect is crazy) but I found being pregnant to be a very strange and unique experience. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks (which really is just 1 week pregnant, but that's how they calculate it.) I was going to the grocery store with a bottle of wine on my shopping list, and just had this weird feeling that I should take a pregnancy test before imbibing. I had felt light headed all day, like I had low blood sugar, and after eating a cheeseburger (which tasted just a little bit.. different..) I could tell something was just different about myself. Good call, because that little pregnant symbol popped up immediately. After I got over my shock, I proceeded to shock my husband. Us poor saps, we had no idea what we were in for. I was bloated right away. I hated that I felt so fat and just looked like I had a beer gut, not a cute little pregnancy belly."

Getting Pregnant | 473 Comments8 Tips to Increase Your Odds of Getting Pregnant Subscribe to our fertility tips newsletter and download your free tip sheet. First Name* Email*Get Tip Sheet Marketing by While it is highly unusual to become pregnant while taking Depo-Provera, it is still possible. Most women, who turn out to be pregnant, conceived before the Depo-Provera shot had initially been administered. These women usually fail to realize that they are pregnant until fetal movement or other obvious signs are noticed. One of the major problems in this scenario is that if a woman continues to take Depo-Provera while pregnant, the likelihood of premature birth increases significantly. The rarity of Depo-Provera and pregnancy occurring simultaneously is well-known, especially since this birth control method is among the best available. This is primarily because the main ingredient in Depo-Provera is progestin, which can have long-term effects in preventing pregnancy. Depo-Provera is a hormonal birth control injection that prevents pregnancy for three months after it is given. Its long-lasting effects from a single shot in your arm or buttock is effective due to its high concentration of synthetic progesterone and lack of estrogen."

Contact Author How Does Your Stomach Feel When You're Pregnant? Feeling pain in your lower abdomen or feeling like your stomach is hard or swollen is not an early sign of pregnancy. To the touch, a person's stomach and abdomen will not show any noticeable signs of pregnancy until later on, depending on your specific body type. People who are in their first pregnancy usually don't start showing until twenty weeks or later. 1 Those who have already been pregnant might start showing sooner. Does Your Stomach Hurt in Early Pregnancy? It depends on what you mean by hurt. In general, the kinds of pain you’ll experience in your belly or lower abdomen in early pregnancy are related to: Nausea — usually happens between two and eight weeks after conception 2Cramping — these can feel similar to pre-menstrual cramps and can be a sign of implantation 2Bloating and abdominal discomfort — similar to PMS symptoms Below I talk a little more about nausea, which is common in early pregnancy (usually starting four weeks after conception).

"text": "\"Plan Pregnancy Want To Get Pregnant Fast? Know Your Days. There are only six days during any cycle when a woman can get pregnant - the five days leading up to ovulation and the 24 hours after ovulation. This is because sperm can live for up to 5 days in a woman's body, and the ovum lives for only 12-24 hours. However, the key to knowing when to get pregnant is to know when you ovulate. Figuring out the exact timing of ovulation can be tricky, because it does not happen at exactly the same time each cycle. How Can Cycle Beads Help You Know When You Can Get Pregnant? Cycle Beads lets you know when you can get pregnant by identifying 12 potentially fertile days each cycle – Days 8 through 19, where Day 1 is the first day of your period. These 12 days take into account the 6 days when pregnancy is possible as well as the variability in the timing of ovulation from one cycle to the next. Surveys of women using Cycle Beads to get pregnant show that they are highly successful, with more than 80% of women getting pregnant within 6 months and the vast majority achieving pregnancy within the first 3 months of trying to conceive."

We checked in with an OB/GYN, a midwife, and a reproductive endocrinologist to learn about the best ways to get pregnant ASAP. Veer Schedule Preconception Counseling It’s not like you’re clueless as to how babies are made, but if you and your partner are ready to start a family, checking in with your healthcare provider before you start trying can be a very smart move, says Peyman Banooni, M. D., an OB-GYN in private practice at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. During that visit, you’ll get a chance to review your medical history and discuss any possible issues that might come up during pregnancy due to past or current medical conditions. You should also come prepared with a list of all current medications, in case any might have a negative impact on your fertility or a pregnancy. Your healthcare provider will also likely do a complete gynecological exam, blood tests, tests for sexually transmitted diseases, tests for rubella immunity (if you’re not immune, you should get vaccinated and use a reliable form of birth control for the following 3 months before getting pregnant) and possibly some genetic tests, based on your family history. Additionally, your obstetrician or midwife will likely suggest that you start taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. Elizabeth Stein, a New York-based certified nurse midwife, also suggests that her patients see a dentist as well, to make sure their oral health is good as well, given that late miscarriage has been linked to maternal periodontal (gum) disease."

Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the last period. However, ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month. Long and short of it -- you are probably not pregnant -- but you could be.

News flash: Birth control = rubber, STIs = glue.by Tina Raine-Bennett, MD, MPHupdated 02/21/2017Women under 30 years old are incredibly fertile—their ability to get pregnant is at its peak. In the U. S., about three in four sexually active women under 30 are using some type of birth control. But many of them ask me, does using birth control now hurt my chances of getting pregnant in the future? Sigh of relief: it does not. All reversible birth control methods will help prevent pregnancy while you’re using them, but none have long-lasting effects on your ability to get pregnant when you stop. That’s why people who use the pill but accidentally forget to take it for a few days can get pregnant that month. Let’s look, for example, at how long it takes for women to get pregnant when they quit the pill compared to when they quit non-hormonal fertility awareness methods (FAM, sometimes called natural family planning). A big study of over 2,000 women who quit the pill after using it for an average of seven years found that 21% were pregnant in one month and 79% were pregnant in a year. Women who stopped using FAM had very similar rates of pregnancy, with 20-25% pregnant in one month and 80% pregnant in a year."

There are a million and one TV shows and movies about us, and they all make our little lives look glamorous and fast-paced. But the unsurprising fact is that very few movies or TV shows (maybe a few — The Lincoln Lawyer comes to mind) actually show the audience anything resembling the real day-to-day grind of being an officer of the court. What lawyers really do isn't very common knowledge either. I know this intimately because I am a lawyer who also worked for two years as a court room clerk, and I, like many of my brethren, spend too much time sighing angrily at my television when I see how the law as a whole and as profession is portrayed. When the media gets things wrong, it means that the general public has an inaccurate idea about what lawyers do, which makes our jobs harder, because clients have unrealistic expectations. So here I am to explain to you some of the realities of lawyering — or at least lawyering as I experience it. Sure, sometimes we get to make impassioned speeches to a jury, or rush to a police interrogation room at 3 a.m., but most of the time, our lives aren't quite that glamorous.

If you want to take some law classes in college that is fine, but be advised that law classes will only provide a cursory introduction to a law school type of class, however they will not teach you anything about being a lawyer. In fact you won’t really know what it is like to be a lawyer until you actually start practicing law. Further, there is no specific major that you must have to apply and be accepted into law school.

My law school certainly did not offer a course on the subject of how to become a corporate attorney. On my first day in the Corporate Department at my former law firm, no one handed me a guidebook on how to morph myself from a clueless first-year associate into an attorney worthy of following in Marty Lipton's footsteps. Look, obviously I don't have anywhere near all the answers on this subject. But being a former corporate lawyer, as well as a business person in charge of hiring corporate lawyers and now running a national legal recruiting firm, I feel like I have learned a few things about what it takes to succeed as a lawyer in top corporate law firms that would have been worthwhile knowing upfront--things that law firms generally don't emphasize with their associates until it's too late (for the associate that is.) My goal here is to offer up my experiences, for what they are worth, to others embarking on the same corporate law firm path I started on. First, I will take a stab at answering the pertinent questions of what does a corporate lawyer do and how do you become a corporate lawyer. Then I will offer up some thoughts on certain qualities I have observed in successful corporate lawyers that, in my view, led to that success. I will then discuss why, in my experience, the dynamic inside your law firm may actually work against your developing the qualities necessary to become successful."

I don’t know you, I have no idea what the facts of your life are, but that doesn’t matter, you aren’t the exception. For the overwhelming majority of people (>99.9 percent), law school is the wrong choice. How can I know this?

If you’re not thinking about going to law school, you can skip this whole post, or just send it to your friends who are thinking about going and thank your god that you’re not them.

In a criminal proceeding, if you can't afford legal assistance, a court will appoint an attorney for you. In a civil case, generally described as a dispute between two private parties, you have to get creative. Here are some of your options: Look to legal aid societies. Legal aid societies are nonprofit organizations found in almost every corner of the country that provide free legal services to low-income people. This is certainly worth exploring, but the problem for many households is that the individual or couple makes too much money to qualify for help.

Business 3/07/2017 @ 7:22AM 6,073 views Jonathan Schiller Of Boies Schiller: \"\"We Had Ideas About How A Good Law Firm Should Be Managed. \"\" In 1986, a decade after construction began on the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, the Corazon Aquino-led Government of the Philippines launched a massive civil suit against Westinghouse Electric Corporation, accusing them of bribery and building an unsafe plant. But instead of turning to Jonathan Schiller and his litigation boutique, which had successfully defended the corporation from related tort and contract claims years earlier, Westinghouse tapped David Boies of Cravath to handle the matter. Not to be a reflection on Schiller and his boutique’s capabilities, but with a history dating back to the 1880s when George Westinghouse relied on Paul Cravath’s help to build his company, the institution often relied on Cravath for big, bet-the-company work. But as fate had it, 2 weeks following the Saturday that Schiller spent in Boies’s NY apartment on Central Park West reviewing and turning over a decade’s worth of Westinghouse-relevant files, Boies called Schiller to propose that they pair up to handle the case; something quite unorthodox for firms at the time. Schiller accepted the role and a friendship began, ultimately becoming the upstart catalyst for one of the most prolific litigation boutiques in the world: Boies Schiller Flexner LLP (BSF). Today we hear from Jonathan Schiller, co-founder and managing partner of BSF, on aspects of founding, building, and running his firm, including its unique compensation model, governance, culture, technology, client relationships, and more.

Lawyers see people in some of the most stressful times of life, often with issues of vital importance hinging on the outcome of a case. A lawyer takes the client’s problem and makes it his or her own. When asked why lawyers charge so much, Richard Quadrino, a disability attorney in practice with his partner Evan Schwartz, says, “How much would you charge if you were dealing with other people’s problems? I get worn out by my own problems. ”Why are attorneys worth the fees they charge? We’ve listed a few of the reasons below.1. Lawyers Fix and Prevent Problems You pay a lawyer not just to solve the problem you’re dealing with, but to keep you from having to deal with that problem ever again. A lawyer is not just a problem solver, but also a problem preventer and is trained to spot things that may come up in the future. For example, if you pay a lawyer to draw up a contract for your business, you will probably use that contract countless times with many customers and clients."

If you can manage to keep your head on straight, deal with the competitiveness, and tune out the insanity, then hopefully you’ll graduate, pass the bar and start doing some real lawyering. Your experience as a lawyer is largely determined by the path you choose. It’s unlike law school, where people generally have a similar experience -- even though you find different internships and take different electives, there’s a basic formula. After that, it’s wide open. I wish more law students would think about this before starting law school, rather than during their last semester. Working as a corporate real estate associate at a big firm is much different than opening your own criminal defense firm. That said, here are some aspects of being a lawyer that apply to most people I know: You’ll realize you know nothing Law school does not prepare you to practice law. Sure, it teaches you how to “think like a lawyer,” but when you get your first job as an attorney, you will find that you’re completely in the dark about a lot of things. Much of it is very specific to your practice area, and a lot of it is boring administrative stuff, like how to bill your hours."

So if you aren’t happy with what SSA told you over the telephone, you’ll be glad to know it may not be correct. The problem is, many people have told me they did not file a disability claim for years (and went without benefits they deserve) simply because a SSA employee gave them bad information. Advice: Don’t give up on your claim until after you have reviewed your case with a disability lawyer. Disability lawyers know more about the law than SSA employees and give you correct information. Mistake #2: Assuming the SSA Administration will approve your claim. Not true. Many people believe that because they have paid into SSA, their claim should easily be approved when they apply for disability benefits.

Our Approach IILP takes a real-world, common-sense approach that aims to acknowledge, understand, and address the reality of diversity in today’s legal profession. As lawyers our training makes us more comfortable organizing concepts into categories and compartments. IILP seeks to move outside this comfort zone and push for change by focusing on the “pipeline” or supply side” in conjunction with (and support of) the more traditional emphasis on the “demand side”, i.e., corporate clients using their economic power in selecting firms to encourage diversity. IILP talks about what others don’t want to. We talk about what is really on people’s minds, no matter how sensitive the issues.

Posted by Ethan on September 18, 2012 (147) More »“Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.” – Galileo Galilei All of science is rooted in the idea that natural phenomena can be explained naturally, and that if we want to know how anything in the Universe works, all we need to do is ask the Universe the right questions, and the answers will appear. So what about the question of the night sky, and why it appears to rotate the way it does? Image credit: Peter Michaud (Gemini Observatory), AURA, NSF. There are two straightforward explanations for this, and from this observation alone, they’re indistinguishable from one another. The entire sky — and all the stars in it — spins around the Earth with a period of 24 hours, causing the stars to change position as we observe it from Earth. The entire sky is — to the best of our observations — stationary, and appears to spin because the Earth is rotating beneath it. These two scenarios, although they would both adequately explain this phenomenon, are vastly different from one another.

Tides are formed by the differential nature of (primarily) the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. Newton figured out that: This meansgravitational attraction decreases at a rate proportional to distance squared. So anything on the side of the earth close to the moon is pulled toward the moon more strongly than something on the far side (especially because the moon is fairly close to us). This makes the earth want tostretch out. This stretching can be viewed as a balance between gravitational (navy) and \"\"centrifugal force\"\" (red): (For more on this, see Eric Socolofsky's answer to Why does the tide rise on the side of the earth opposite the moon?)

This effect is caused by the Moon's gravity pulling at the Earth The acceleration of gravity on Earth due to the Sun, is 177 greater than the gravity on Earth from the Moon. The Earth revolves around the Sun and the Moon orbits around us. The Sun provides light for us during the day. The Moon provides light for Earth at night; the Moon gets its light from the reflection of light from the sun. When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season. When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides are not as dramatically high and low. These are called neap tides. Spring tide Neap tide The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days (a sidereal month)."

"text": "Introductory Astronomy: Phases of the Moon The Moon appears to go through phases. In other words, the amount of the Moon that we can see changes over time in a cyclic period that repeats itself approximately once a month. ( The actual period of this cycle is approximately 29.5 Earth days.) The cause of these phases is the relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. As seen in the diagram, if the Sun is located off to the right of the picture, the Earth and Moon are illuminated as shown (the white areas being the lighted areas). Notice that no matter what phase the Moon is in, HALF of it is ALWAYS lit by the Sun. ( Which half is always lit? The half that is facing the Sun.) The reason that we do not always see a Moon which is half lit is because of our position relative to the Moon and the Sun. As the Moon moves in its orbit, different portions of it appear (to us!)"

For the jazz album by Grover Washington Jr., see Strawberry Moon (album). The supermoon of 14 November 2016 was 356,511 km (221,526 mi) away [1] from the center of Earth, the closest occurrence since 1948. It will not be closer again until 2034. [ 2]The full Moon as viewed through a 235 mm (9.25 in) Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. The Moon was near its northernmost ecliptic latitude, so the southern craters are especially prominent. The full Moon during the total lunar eclipse of 28 September 2015The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth 's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located directly between the Sun and the Moon (more exactly, when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180° ). This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth – the near side – is completely sunlit and appears as a circular disk, while the far side is dark."

"text": "\"Home Ocean Facts What are spring and neap tides? What are spring and neap tides? A spring tide —popularly known as a \"\"King Tide\"\"—refers to the 'springing forth' of the tide during new and full moon. A neap tide —seven days after a spring tide—refers to a period of moderate tides when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. A spring tide is a common historical term that has nothing to do with the season of spring. Rather, the term is derived from the concept of the tide \"\"springing forth.\"\" Spring tides occur twice each lunar month all year long without regard to the season. Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. Tides are long-period waves that roll around the planet as the ocean is \"\"pulled\"\" back and forth by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun as these bodies interact with the Earth in their monthly and yearly orbits. During full or new moons—which occur when the Earth, sun, and moon are nearly in alignment—average tidal ranges are slightly larger."

Although he is gone from us now, few will forget his Gallic charm, delightful French accent, and brilliant mind. Dane Rudhyar has shared his genius with us in his philosophies and in his directions for living in the new age. He made many contributions to Astrology, but the one that I most closely associate with Dane Rudhyar is his emphasis on watching the phases of planetary pairs and on the importance of the \"\"Lunation Cycle.\"\" He taught us to look at a horoscope as a picture of many cycles; he taught us to look at aspects as phases of a cycle; he taught us the necessity to live more fully, according to our personal birthchart; he taught us to read the birthchart for our potentials so that we may become more than we are. I have used the term \"\"Cycles.\"\" Let us see what Dane Rudhyar meant by that term as we examine the Lunation Cycle. If, for a moment, we think about the Saturn Cycle in a person's chart, we look at the movement of Saturn by transit, through the houses of the chart. The transiting Saturn makes many aspects to the natal Saturn."

The next blue moon isn't due until 2018By Sarah Knapton9:25PM BST 31 Jul 2015Follow When will the 'super' blue moon appear? A rare blue moon will be visible in the sky tonigh t for the first time in three years. The event coincides with the start of the meteor observing season which will peak in August with the Perseids meteor shower. The phenomenon occurs when there is a second full moon in one calendar month. It is uncommon because the full moon cycle is 29.5 days. Where is the best place to see it and at what time? The blue supermoon is at its fullest during the daytime at 11.43am, but as the sun goes down it is best seen in the south where skies will be clearer. Rain clouds could block out the satellite further North. It is also a ‘ supermoon ’ which occurs when the moon is at its closest approach to the Earth, known as perigee."

"text": "\"What Is A Blue Moon? By: Donald W. Olson, Richard Tresch Fienberg, and Roger Sinnott | July 27, 2006Recent decades have seen widespread popular embrace of the idea that when a calendar month contains two full Moons, the second one is called a \"\"Blue Moon.\"\" The unusual pattern of lunar phases in early 1999 — two full Moons each in January and March, and none at all in February — triggered a groundswell of public interest. Countless newspapers and radio and TV stations ran stories about Blue Moons. A rising full Moon lights the scene in The Fishing Party, painted by Fitz Hugh Lane after a visit to the coast of Maine in August 1850. That month contained a Fruit Moon, according to the Maine almanac's rules. In an article entitled Once in a Blue Moon, folklorist Philip Hiscock traced the calendrical meaning of the term \"\"Blue Moon\"\" to the Maine Farmers' Almanac for 1937. But a page from that almanac belies the second-full-Moon-in-a-month interpretation. With help from Margaret Vaverek (Southwest Texas State University) and several other librarians, we obtained more than 40 editions of the Maine Farmers' Almanac from the period 1819 to 1962. These refer to more than a dozen Blue Moons, and not one of them is the second full Moon in a month."

In our upper atmosphere, we have dust particles and oxygen molecules. The white light meaning all of the colors in a rainbow shines through the upper levels of the atmosphere and the blue light scatters across the entire planet. That is why our sky is blue. Now, during sunrise and sunset, the light traveling through atmosphere is longer at the horizon, then if you were to look up high in the sky. There are more dust particles and oxygen molecules at the horizon, so that is why you see such pretty colors like red, oranges and yellows. How do we get rainbows? Rainbows are spectacular rays of color."

"text": "Television‘Young Sheldon’ Reinvents ‘The Big Bang Theory’ Formula. Will It Work? By JOHN KOBLIN AUG. 31, 2017Iain Armitage stars in “Young Sheldon,” which will have a special premiere episode on CBS on Sept. 25 before returning in a weekly format on Nov. 2. Robert Voets/CBSBURBANK, Calif. — At first blush, CBS’s new spinoff “ Young Sheldon ” should be a surefire hit. The sitcom centers on Sheldon Cooper — the hugely popular character from “The Big Bang Theory,” played by Jim Parsons — as a 9-year-old growing up in East Texas in 1989. Though “Big Bang” hardly spawns cultural catchphrases or lands on critics’ top 10 lists anymore, it remains a juggernaut: In its 10th year last season, long after most TV shows have passed their peak, it averaged 19 million viewers an episode and finished as the country’s highest-rated series. Add that to the fact that the co-creator of “Young Sheldon,” Chuck Lorre, has minted hit after hit for CBS, including “Big Bang” and “Two and a Half Men,” what could go wrong? Well, for “Young Sheldon,” plenty. For the first time, Mr. Lorre is abandoning the formula that has made him one of the most successful producers in the business for the last couple of decades."

"text": "Thinking Moms’ Guide to Red Flags: Head Banging Posted on April 8, 2015 by Thinking Moms' Revolution Is it normal for an infant, toddler or preschooler to bang his or her head on a hard surface? It seems like a straightforward question — even as my mother’s instinct is screaming, “No, it’s not normal; something is wrong .”However, it turns out the answer to this question depends on who you ask!The popular baby books will tell you it is normal. Like hair twirling, rocking, and other self-comforting activities, head banging is a way for your toddler to release pent-up energy and tension at the end of the day. It can be pretty terrifying to watch, but this is not unusual for toddlers (and his skull is actually tougher than you think). Many doctors will tell you it is normal (mine did! ) If your child is normal and healthy and only shows these behaviors during the night or at naptime, you should not be concerned — these are common ways for children to fall asleep. They are seen in many healthy infants and children beginning at an average of 6-9 months of age. These behaviors typically subside by age 2 or 3, and by age 5 are only still seen in 5 percent of normal, healthy children. And this: Although head banging appears alarming, the child seldom inflicts significant damage to the head. The physical examination in children who are head bangers is usually normal."

"text": "\"About The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom from Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television that airs on the CBS television network in the United States. The Big Bang Theory is now in its eleventh season, which premiered Monday, September 25. The eleventh season finale will air Thursday, May 10, 2018. CBS has already renewed the show for a twelfth season in 2018/19. The Big Bang Theory stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch. The Big Bang Theory was created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers. Bill Prady was the showrunner for Seasons 1-5 and succeeded by Steven Molaro, who held the job through the tenth season. In 2017, Steve Holland became showrunner for the eleventh season. The Big Bang Theory is centered on physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, whose geeky and introverted lives are changed when Penny, an attractive waitress and aspiring actress, moves into the apartment across from theirs. Penny quickly becomes a part of Sheldon and Leonard's social group, which includes the equally geeky engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali, with Penny's common sense and social skills and the guys' geeky interests expanding each other's worlds."

The jocular mien of our server put a smile on our faces — as did the Cracker Jack caramel sundae he handed us. The monster concoction features Goertze’s famous vanilla soft serve “ice Kreme,” topped with caramel sauce, mini M&Ms, and a drizzle of hot fudge all swathed in whipped cream. It’s piled into an actual Cracker Jack box, so you find a surprise layer of caramel corn on the bottom. It’s big enough to share, which is good, because everyone will want some.9."

The result is utterly delicious, and addicting!Remind Me About This!And she bangs, she bangs…. Oh baby When she moves, she moves….. The entire time I was taking photos of this yummy thing called Bang Bang Shrimp, I consistently had the lyrics of She Bangs by Ricky Martin running through my head. It’d be one thing if I actually had his version on repeat, however, it was actually William Hung ( American Idol, remember ?) I endlessly heard singing which is not exactly a moment I want to relive. What I would like to relive, however, is devouring this recipe for Bang Bang Shrimp. My inspiration for recipes comes from just about anywhere, and for this recipe, I got the idea after my aunt mentioned Bonefish Grill and how their Bang Bang Shrimp is SOOOOOO good. I’ve never been to Bonefish Grill, but I decided to Google it to see what it was all about. I love shrimp, and I love spicy, and that’s what Bang Bang Shrimp is all about, so I knew I’d have to give it a try."

From explosive arguments and Big Brother twins to strategic blunders and game twists, the show always delivers on its catch phrase, \"\"expect the unexpected.\"\" These 10 most memorable moments from \"\"Big Brother,\"\" in no particular order, are just a few examples of why we continue to tune in each season.01of 10Chilltown Becomes the First Big Brother Alliance Will Kirby (L) and Mike 'Boogie' Malin. Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images In Season 2, \"\"Big Brother\"\" legend Will Kirby formed the first of the show's many alliances, teaming up with Mike \"\"Boogie\"\" Malin to create Chilltown. Will eventually won that season after masterfully manipulating his fellow houseguests. The pair resuscitated Chilltown for the All-Star season in 2006 which was won by Mike Boogie, making Chilltown the most successful alliance in reality television history.02of 10Marcellas Wins the Veto but Doesn't Use It Marcellas Reynolds. Courtesy CBSThe Power of Veto allows a contestant who has been nominated for eviction to remove his nomination, forcing the Head of Household to nominate someone else in his place. At the final five in \"\"Big Brother 3,\"\" Marcellas Reynolds won the veto but chose not to use it on himself, believing he was safe no matter what happened. He was very wrong. After a tie vote, he was evicted by Jason, the new Head of Household.03of 10The Big Brother Twin Twist Natalie Montgomery."

Forty thousand people applied to participate in the first series. These were whittled down to ten contestants: Nick Bateman, Andrew Davidson, Melanie Hill, Nichola Holt, Thomas Mc Dermott, Anna Nolan, Caroline O'Shea, Craig Phillips, Darren Ramsay and Sada Wilkington. Though not expected to be a big hit by Channel 4 producers, the series proved to be a major success. The first week of the series saw over 400,000 voters call in to evict a housemate, while on the final week 7.8 million people phoned in to choose the overall winner."

When she was nominated against her only ally Brendon Villegas in week 5, she was evicted unanimously for being seen as the more significant threat of the duo. She placed 9th and was the first member of the jury. She would cast her jury vote for Lane Elenburg, feeling he had played the best social game. She returned to the game in Big Brother 13 as part of the season duo twist, being partnered with her now husband Brendon Villegas.

The following week, Goldust fought Orton in an attempt to have Cody rehired, but was also fired after he lost. Dusty attempted to convince The Authority to rehire his sons.

Julie Chen and the premiere of Big Brother: Over the Top. Photograph: Sophie Flemming/CBSBig Brother always seemed like a show that should live online. The very idea is that the subjects in the house are being viewed and judged 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Though the internet wasn’t as prevalent (or as fast) in 2000 when the show debuted in the US, it’s since grown a very loyal following who do that round the clock judging – watching every meal the houseguests eat, listening to every inane conversation they have, and documenting the minute changes in game play on very detailed fan websites. That’s why Big Brother: Over the Top, the show’s 19th season, is the perfect series for CBS to present online only. For the past two summers, anyone who subscribes to CBS All Access, the networks streaming service that launched in 2014, has had access to the Big Brother live feeds. However those were only for the dedicated superfans, while most casual fans would watch the three weekly broadcasts on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Yes, for Big Brother even a casual fan still needs to give up three hours a week to follow the game. And there are quite a few of them, with 6.3 million tuning into the Big Brother 18 finale earlier this month. Over the Top follows a similar format to the normal game, but everything airs online."

It follows the same premise as its many foreign counterparts around the world: twelve Philippine residents are forced to live with each other inside a house for about 3 months or at least 100 days. Visit www.pinoybigbrother.com to learn more It is shown on ABS-CBN Channel 2 and its international affiliate, The Filipino Channel, with snippets shown on local affiliate Studio 23. The uncut 24/7 version of the series can also be seen on the internet through streaming video and a special cable channel provided by ABS-CBN-owned cable TV provider, Sky Cable. The elimination process in the show is the reverse of the original Dutch format. At the start of the elimination process, the \"\"housemates\"\" (as the contestants are referred to) vote for which two (sometimes more if there are ties or Big Brother gives automatic nomination) fellow housemates they should eliminate. Once these nominations are chosen, the viewer votes come into play. For a week viewers are asked to vote, via SMS or voice messaging through PLDT's hotline (later abolished in favor of vote cards), for whoever they wanted to stay longer in the house. The housemate with the least viewer votes is eliminated."

[ 1] The show follows a number of celebrity contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate named the winner. The series takes its name from the character in George Orwell 's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Celebrity Big Brother began as a one-time spin-off series to the original Big Brother UK, and premiered on Channel 4 on 9 March 2001. Following the successful first series, the show returned the following year for a second series. Though the show did not air for the next two years, it returned in 2005 and 2006."

The house! The travel! The help for loved ones and favorite charities! Someone to deliver a single, perfect piece of chocolate to your door every day! ( OK, maybe that’s just me. ) While most of us will never see that kind of money dumped in our laps, a select few lottery winners do actually get to realize their fantasy—and on Saturday night, someone could win the largest Powerball lottery ever, $700 million . Richard Lustig of Orlando, FL, has won seven lottery grand prizes through a system he developed. One of the “luckiest” people in the nation is Richard Lustig, author of Learn How To Increase Your Chances of Winning the Lottery, who has won seven lottery grand prizes and perfected his strategy though trial and error. “ When the lottery came to Florida, I was like everybody else: ‘Wow, buy lottery tickets, win a lot of money, retire, buy a big fancy yacht, whatever, blah, blah, blah,’” he said. “"

"text": "\"Yosemite Half Dome's new lottery permit system begins The process, which gives would-be hikers until March 31 to apply for a reservation, is intended to eliminate scalping. March 04, 2012 | By Jane Engle, Special to the Los Angeles Times Half Dome attracts flocks of climbers, who will be able to try to reserve… (Michael Maloney / San Francisco…)If you're hoping to hike Half Dome at California's Yosemite National Park this summer, you'll want to take action by March 31. That's because, under a new system, permits to reach the summit will be allocated by a lottery this month for the whole season, instead of month by month. Other changes may be coming too as the National Park Service considers overhauling management of the iconic granite dome, which rises nearly 5,000 feet above Yosemite Valley. Thousands each year make the grueling trek to the top, aided by a 400-foot-long cable system in place during warmer months. But first, here is what you need to know to navigate this year's permit system: Unlike last year, when reservations opened up three months in advance on a first-come, first-served basis, permits for the entire May 25-Oct. 8 season will be allocated by a lottery held through March 31. Each lottery winner will be assigned one hiking date, and unlike past years, permits will not be transferable. Park officials hope the new system will thwart scalpers, who last year snatched up multiple permits and later resold them for $60 or more each. Under first-come, first-served, \"\"it was a mad dash at 7 a.m. Pacific time for the permits,\"\" said Rick De Lappe, acting interagency program manager for the park service. \"\""

"text": "\"Enlarge this image A customer holds his Mega Millions lottery ticket at Tobacco Plus in Muncie, Ind. Researchers say lotteries often draw low-income gamblers who are on welfare. Darron Cummings/APSanto Domingo Liquors in Lawrence, Mass., has two cash registers. But sometimes only the lottery register has a line. Elizabeth Correia, eight months pregnant, is running that register with her mother — her family owns the store. \"\" We do this seven days a week. Seven days a week. My mom, sometimes she'll do it open to closing,\"\" Correia says. America's modern era of state-run lotteries started 50 years ago in New Hampshire. Today, across 43 states, the District of Columbia and several territories, people wager more than $56 billion a year on lotteries. The take for state governments is about a third of that, and in many states lottery revenues exceed corporate income taxes."

"text": "\"California No one submits verified claim for $63 million California lottery prize Published February 04, 2016 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Now Playing California lottery jackpot remains unclaimed Luck may have run out for the winner of a California Lottery jackpot, after nobody showed up at a state lottery office by 5 p.m. Thursday with the ticket or submitted a verified claim for the $63 million prize. ADVERTISEMENTLottery spokesman Alex Traverso told the Associated Press there are \"\"some claims to investigate\"\" but no one came forward with the winning ticket. \"\" So we can say as of right now, no one has come forward with the winning ticket, but we have had lots of inquiries and the potential for more claims,\"\" he said. If none of the claims pan out, it will be the largest unclaimed prize in California Lottery history and the money will go to the state's schools. On Wednesday, a California man launched a legal battle with the state's lottery, saying they cheated him out of the $63 million prize. A lawsuit was filed on behalf of Brandy Milliner in Los Angeles one day before the deadline to claim the jackpot. Milliner claims he turned in the winning Super Lotto Plus ticket and was told to expect his money. However, he claims lottery officials sent him a second letter last month declaring the ticket was too damaged to be processed. Lottery spokesman Russ Lopez told the Los Angeles Times that it is standard procedure for the lottery to send congratulatory letters to winners claiming a prize, though that doesn't mean they've won. \"\" The last-minute timing of this is suspicious,” Lopez told the paper. “"

By Ethan Wolff-Mann January 12, 2016The Powerball jackpot is at $1.5 billion and rising, easily ballooning to the biggest lottery prize of all time—which actually raises the value of a single ticket. But unless the winner is Puerto Rican (no federal income taxes or territorial tax on gambling winnings), he is also likely to have to pay taxes of equally historical significance. There are many misconceptions that float around the taxation of lottery prizes. And the truth is the issue is complicated, not just because many consider the lottery to be a regressive tax, but because the amount one pays in taxes depends on a few different factors, most notably including where you live. Most stories about lottery prize taxes highlight a federal income tax withholding of 25% for winners. But that’s not actually the highest bracket of federal income tax. Big jackpots are instead taxed at 39.6%. Read Next: The One Time It’s Mathematically Advantageous to Play Powerball If we’re talking a cash lump sum, which everyone but four people has taken since 2003, and the takeaway for the current $1.5 billion jackpot is $930 million, the winner must pay $368 million in federal income tax. ( That’s the tax bill for an American winner."

In all, the Lottery had its best year on record, seeing sales eclipse $6 billion for the first time in our history!The great news is that when Lottery sales are up, education is the biggest winner of all. This past fiscal year, the Lottery was able to send a record of more than $1.5 billion in supplemental funding to California public schools. In addition, the Lottery has always been committed to finding even more ways to help support the schools that educate our children. Since 1985, Lottery players have contributed more than $30.9 billion to help create more educational opportunities for California’s students. With the help of these funds, public schools are able to attract and retain quality teachers, buy classroom supplies and state-of-the-art equipment, and keep important programs running. But none of this would be possible without our players. In FY 2015-16, the California Lottery and its players returned more than $1 billion to schools in our state for the 16th consecutive year. While this contribution currently represents less than 1.5% of the state’s public school annual budget, remember that Lottery funds are meant only to supplement public education, not to replace state and local funding. We concede that in the bigger picture our contributions to education are a drop in the bucket, but in this economy, every penny helps."

( Did you play the Mega Millions ?! ) Panel's answer: Yes 2 No 6Marney Cox, San Diego Association of Governments Marney Cox ANSWER: YESLotteries run for or by governments are used to support public programs such as infrastructure development, public safety, public health and education. The principal argument used to support lotteries has focused on their value as a source of \"\"painless\"\" revenue, contributed by players voluntarily spending their money. Although popular in some states, like California, lottery revenues have not been dependable and sometimes states substitute lottery revenue for other funds leaving the targeted program no better off. In most cases, the odds of winning are astronomically low, so I don’t play. For example, the odds of winning the mega millions lottery are about 1 in about 175 million. Kelly Cunningham, National University System Kelly Cunningham Answer: NOAt least not efficiently and for relatively little in return. Lotteries sell the hope of winning huge sums of money with astronomically high odds against winning. People who do not have much money are more likely to buy tickets with hope of a better life."

Record lottery ticket sales of $1.5 billion last week for a jackpot of $640 million once again raises the question of why Nevada doesn’t participate in a lottery. “Nevada is sending people out of state to gamble,” said Assemblyman Paul Aizley, D-Las Vegas, who authored a resolution in 2009 to change the state’s constitution. “ That, to me, is crazy. ”Casinos see it differently."

"text": "The longest day or the summer solstice December 21, 2007By Nick Lomb Share: The seasons drawn by Nick Lomb On Saturday 22 December 2007 at 5:08 pm Australian eastern summer time the Earth is at summer solstice. This is when the Sun appears at its most southerly position for the year and, for those of us in the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year. In Sydney the Sun is above the horizon for 14 hours and 25 minutes. Note though the difference in day length from the day before or the day after is only a matter of a few seconds. Also note that the day of the solstice is not the day with the earliest sunrise or the latest sunset. It is just the day with the longest time from sunrise to sunset. The reason for the Earth’s seasons and for equinoxes and solstices is the 23.°5 degree tilt of the axis, known technically as the “obliquity of the ecliptic”. [ That is a good phrase to drop at a Christmas barbeque – “It is hot today, isn’t it” – “Yes, it is all to do with the obliquity of the ecliptic”! ] Scientists suggests that the Earth axis is tilted from the vertical because it was struck by another large body during the early years of the solar system, over 4000 million years ago. The collision may even have been the same one that is believed to have led to the formation of the Moon."

The so-called Winter solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in the North Hemisphere when the Earth North axis is at the longest distance to the sun. The phenomenon has to do with the elliptical orbit of the Earth and the sun’s elevation in the sky is the lowest. Did you know that meaning of “solstice is that “the sun stands still”? The phenomenon of Winter Solstice lasts only a moment. The moment the the North Pole is tilted furthest from the sun as the Earth continues on its orbit. The phenomenon will occur at 22:03 GMT, says the BBC, adding that“The solstice doesn’t always occur on 21 December. Sometimes it nudges into the early hours of 22 December, which will happen again next year. The hour of day also varies. Last year’s arrived at 17:11."

In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice begins at 6:51 a.m. EDT on June 21, according to Almanac.com, officially ringing in summer. The date brings the year’s longest stretch of daylight. Though the hours of sunlight depend on location, many areas will see 16 hours’ worth of light on Saturday. Why does the solstice occur?

From the sound of the french door refrigerator crushing ice to the whir of the range hood expelling fumes, the kitchen is full of conflicting crashes, bangs, and humming of different appliances. At the end of the day, peace and quiet is all you want. The last thing you want to hear is the swishing and clanging of dishes being washed in the dishwasher. That's why I've compiled a list of the quietest dishwashers based on noise levels, which are measured in d BA or decibel rating. If you are hunting for a quieter dishwasher, you want to be educated going in. First, let's look at what a decibel is and where certain sounds rank on the chart to give us an idea of how loud or soft a dishwasher might be based on its rating. What is a decibel?"

An AJ Madison appliance expert describes the different types of room air conditioners. Watch and learn which air conditioner type is right for your space. Will an air conditioner with higher BTU cool my room faster? BTUs determine how much cold air comes out of the unit, but problems can occur if the air conditioner is oversized for the space. The more cold air that comes out � the more area it needs to circulate to avoid giving the thermostat a false reading. If the unit is oversized, the cold air bounces off the wall back onto itself giving the thermostat a false reading � causing the compressor to shut off because the thermostat reads that the set temperature has been achieved. While the unit is off � the thermostat is able to read the room�s actual temperature, which kicks the compressor back on. This process will continue, causing the compressor to cycle off and on every two to three minutes, but never staying on long enough to effectively cool the room or remove uncomfortable humidity. Use AJ Madison�s BTU calculator to find the correct amount of BTUs for the area you would like to cool."

Amplitude is the sound wave's peak pressure variation. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of a sinusoidal component of a sound wave.

"text": "A quiet window air conditioner is a rare and wonderful thing. One of the most common complaints about window air conditioners is the noise they make. Consumers who shop only by price or cooling capacity are often surprised when their “best buy” becomes an irritating intrusion that wakes them up from sleep or makes them crank up the television every time it turns on. In this article we look at how to get that noise down, which are the quietest window units, and offer some quiet window unit buying advice. Why are window ac units noisy? The reason window air conditioners produce noise is because they create vibrations. Some of this is intentional and unavoidable, some of it isn’t. The two main areas of “designed noise” come from the compressor, which is a type of pump, and the fan which blows cool air. If you wish to distinguish between the two, turn on the fan with the cooling setting at the minimum (or off if possible) and you will hear the fan alone. Adding the cooling function turns on the compressor and you will hear a noticeable increase in noise level."

Pickups are important to the sound of a bass, ranked right up there with strings as a way of defining your sound. They probably have more effect on your final sound than whatever combination of woods you choose for that perfect tone. To complicate the issue, a pickup can give quite different results on different basses. Changing strings will effect a pickup's response as well. Here is an alphabetical overview of the pickups I use regularly. Alembic:\"\"MXY\"\" (wide aperture) and \"\"AXY\"\" (narrow aperture).

Making Mini-Splits Disappear A lot of homeowners and folks in the building industry in the United States don’t want to see their HVAC (a.k.a. heating and air) systems exposed, even if it means high performance, healthy living environment, and total control. There is a magical (OK, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch) way to have cake and eat it, too. I design, specify and recommend mini-split heat pump systems because they are the quietest, most energy efficient, and most effective systems available for mechanically heating and cooling a home (or any building). Yes, they are generally more efficient and effective than residential ground source heat pump systems (a.k.a. geothermal), and they definitely cost less to install. I can prove it, but not now. Most homeowners who say “no” to mini-splits are only familiar with the ductless fan coils (mini air handlers) that mount on the wall just above eye-level, in the ceiling above, or on the floor next to wall. They say, “Those things are too ugly, Chris !”"

"text": "Choosing the Best Portable Oxygen Concentrator: Sound Level December 13, 2012 By Allison Waters 23 Comments We’ve covered a lot of ground with our series on choosing the best portable oxygen concentrator. We began with the oxygen flow, then discussed the size and weight, followed by the battery power. Now we’re wrapping up the series with an often overlooked factor– the sound level. Here’s the low-down on the official sound levels as provided by the manufacturers: De Vilbiss i Go Portable Oxygen Concentrator Continuous and Pulse Flow Units Se Qual Eclipse 3 – 41 d BADe Vilbiss i Go – 40 d BAOxlife Independence – 40 d BAInvacare Solo2 – 42 d BARespironics Simply Go – 43 d BAInogen One G2 and G3 Portable Oxygen Concentrators Pulse Flow Only Units Inogen One G2 – 38 d BAInogen One G3 – 42 d BARespironics Ever Go – 43 d BAInvacare XPO2 – 46 d BAAir Sep Free Style – 41 d BAInova Life Choice – 46 d BABut what does it mean? Well, the d BA is the decibel measurement. Keep in mind that this is an exponential rating system, so a different of 5 decibels is noticeably louder. Also, the average decibels of a quiet home is 40 d BA. Therefore, you’ll find that most units, particularly the larger, continuous and pulse flow models, are a low hum, not much louder than your refrigerator when it kicks on, and much quieter than the average dish washer. The pulse-only models is where you’ll find a wider range of decibel ratings. The Inogen One G2 is noticeably the quietest portable concentrator on the market today."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi there! It's decibel ratings. The decibel scale go up with louder sounds, and down with quieter sounds. Some dishwasher makers measure dishwasher noise in sones. Unlike the decibel scale, which is an objective measurement of sound pressure, the sone scale reflects the perception of loudness and is intended to gauge the annoyance factor of different types of sound. Not all manufacturers publish a sone rating, but as a point of reference the quietest dishwashers on the market operate at about 4 sones.jfer · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Decibel Ratings For Dishwashers Source (s):https://shorte.im/a8BY6quinonez · 1 year ago0 0 Commentthe lower the quietertalktotut · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

SPL measures are taken with respect to the minimum threshold for human hearing. A 20 d B difference in SPL represents a ratio of ten-to-one in sound pressure. Thus, a 40d B SPL would be a sound pressure level that is 100 times greater than the sound pressure level of the quietest sound that normal human hearing can detect.

Anyone who rinses the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is not only failing to take advantage of its cleaning prowess but wasting water and money as well. Lots of water. Consumer Reports has been giving this advice for years but with drought conditions in the West, it bears repeating. A dishwasher made before 1994 wastes more than 10 gallons of water per cycle, according to Energy Star. Over its presumed lifetime of 10 years, an Energy Star dishwasher will save at least 1,600 gallons of water over older models. Do the math by multiplying that number and your water rate and you’ll see the savings. Still not persuaded? If you have a pre-1994 dishwasher you’re also paying an extra $35 a year for your utilities. Dishwashers that have earned the Energy Star are, on average, about 5 percent more energy efficient and 15 percent more water efficient than standard models."

Jump to table of contents The estate A person's estate is made up of their cash (including from insurance) and investments, property and possessions. After someone dies their estate is handled by one or more 'executors' - or an 'administrator' if there wasn't any will. These are usually a relative or friend and/or a solicitor. If the estate's worth above a certain amount the executor or administrator will need special permission - called 'probate' or 'letters of administration' - to be able deal with the person's affairs. This includes paying off their debts. Applying for probate What if there's not enough money to pay outstanding debts? In this case, the estate has to pay off any outstanding debts in a set order before anything is given to people named in the will, or until the money runs out.

As a rule, those debts are paid from the deceased person's estate. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, family members typically are not obligated to pay the debts of a deceased relative from their own assets. What's more, family members – and all consumers – are protected by the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to try to collect a debt. Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them. Does a debt go away when the debtor dies? No. The estate of the deceased person owes the debt. If there isn't enough money in the estate to cover the debt, it typically goes unpaid."

If there is a will, the executor is responsible for collecting the property (\"\"estate\"\") of the deceased, paying the bills and distributing the balance to the beneficiaries named in the will. If there is no will, the court will appoint an administrator (usually a family member) who becomes responsible for collecting the property, paying the bills as approved by the court, and distributing the balance to those family members according to Ohio law. Both the executor and administrator are referred to as the \"\"representative\"\" in this article. Q: Who is responsible for making and paying for funeral and burial arrangements? A: Generally, the answer is the same as above except that Ohio now permits a person to execute a document that specifically authorizes a special representative to make those arrangements, purchase goods and services related to the funeral and identify the source of funds.

It was created in 1215 in England. It was an agreement between King John and the nobility of the day. The King's barons were unhappy with recent defeats at the hands of the French, and an unfavorable peace with the French. To assure the loyalty of the barons, John agreed to certain civil rights for the barons. These rights were encoded in the Magna Carta. These rights were not new or unique - most of the text of the Magna Carta came from the Charter of Liberties, another agreement between King Henry I and his nobility in 1100. The Magna Carta is written in Latin, and several copies were made for the King and for each baron. Several of these copies still exist today.

The probate process applies both when: Someone dies leaving a Will or When Someone dies without a Will The Texas Probate Process requires that: All of that person’s property will be gathered Their debts paid The remaining assets distributed according to either the provisions of his or her Will, or If they died without a Will, then the property will be distributed according to Texas law regarding intestacy (dying without a Will). Initiating the Probate Process.... Initiating the probate process is actually fairly easy. Whether or not the Decedent died with a Will, an application for probate will need to be filed in a Texas Probate Court. Once the Application has been filed, Texas probate law requires that you must wait approximately 2 weeks before you can have a hearing on the Probate Application for the Court to determine the necessity to open the Administration of the Estate and/or to recognize the Decedent's Will as valid. During the 2 week waiting period, the County Clerk posts a notice at the courthouse that an application has been filed for probate. This posting serves as notice to anyone who might want to contest the Will or administration that they have a certain number of days to do that. If they fail to file their contest within that period of time, the Court can move forward in opening the administration and/or recognizing the validity of the Will. Once the waiting period has passed, a hearing will be conducted before the probate Judge ."

"text": "What happens to a tenancy when the tenant dies? May 21, 2014 by Tessa J Shepperson There is often a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about this. First off – a tenancy does not end when the tenant dies. What happens depends on the circumstances. If the tenancy is in joint names then the living tenant will acquire the deceased tenant’s share by what is known as the ‘right of survivorship’. So if a husband and wife rent a property jointly and the husband dies, it will then belong just to the wife. If there is only one ‘sole tenant ‘ then what happens depends on what sort of tenancy it is. If the tenancy is still within its fixed term, then the remainder of the fixed term is a property right, the ownership of which will pass to the deceased tenant’s Personal Representatives* as part of the tenant’s ‘estate’ (i.e. everything he owns when he dies)If the tenancy is a periodic ‘statutory’ tenancy under the Rent Act 1977, then the tenancy will pass either to the spouse (if there is one living) or in some circumstances to a member of the tenants family living at the property at the time of death (for full details see the act)If the tenancy is a periodic assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1988 then it will normally pass to the spouse (if any). This will also happen with an assured shorthold tenancy, but here the landlord can easily end it by serving a section 21 notice (again, for full details, see the act). A landlord can also recover possession through the courts under ground 7."

When a person dies, all of the assets and debts in their sole name are part of their estate. If you have a will, you have chosen an executor. If you die without a will an administrator is appointed by the court. Your executor or administrator uses your existing assets to pay the debt left in your name.

"text": "\"Estate Planning Inheritor's Guide How to Probate an Estate Step-by-Step Share Flip Pin Email By Julie Garber Updated December 27, 2017Most people have little experience dealing with what happens after their loved one dies and they get appointed as Personal Representative/Executor to settle the estate. The purpose of this guide is to provide a general overview of the six steps required to probate an estate.01 Step 1 of Estate Settlement - Inventory Before being appointed to serve as Personal Representative/Executor, the first step in probating an estate is to locate all of the decedent's estate planning documents and other important papers. The decedent's estate planning documents may include a Last Will and Testament, funeral, cremation, burial or memorial instructions, and/or a Revocable Living Trust. The original documents should be stored in a safe place until they can be given to the estate attorney. The decedent's important papers will include information about the decedent's assets, including bank and brokerage statements, stock and bond certificates, life insurance policies, corporate records, car and boat titles, and deeds; and information about the decedent's debts, including utility bills, credit card bills, mortgages, personal loans, medical bills and the funeral bill. Refer to What Documents Are Needed After Someone Dies? for a detailed list of the specific documents that will need to be located. From these documents a list should be made of what the decedent owned and owed, how each asset is titled (in the decedent's individual name, as a tenant in common, in joint names, or in a trust), and, for assets and debts that have a statement, the value of the asset or debt as listed on the statement and the date of the statement. In addition, the decedent's prior three years of income tax returns should be set aside. Once the decedent's important documents have been sorted through, the next is to meet with an estate lawyer to open the estate with the probate court.02 Step 2 of Estate Settlement - Open the Probate Estate Once the decedent's legal documents and other important papers have been sorted through, the next step in probating the estate is to meet with an estate attorney to officially open the probate estate with the probate court."

Bankruptcy Bankruptcy proceedings begin with the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court. The filing of the petition creates a bankruptcy estate, which generally consists of all the assets of the person filing the bankruptcy petition. A separate taxable entity is created if the bankruptcy petition is filed by an individual under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The tax obligations of the person filing a bankruptcy petition (the debtor) vary depending on the bankruptcy chapter under which the petition was filed. Generally, when a debt owed to another is canceled, the amount canceled or forgiven is considered income that is taxed to the person owing the debt. If a debt is canceled under a bankruptcy proceeding, the amount canceled is not income. However, the canceled debt reduces the amount of other tax benefits the debtor would otherwise be entitled to."

In addition to its versatility, HECMs are also extremely flexible, permitting changes in the ways in which seniors receive funds as their needs change over the years. Inevitably, however, the HECM is also very complicated, which prompts the need for this article. It is organized around the 21 questions that I receive most often from seniors.1. What Is a HECM Reverse Mortgage? It is a loan to a senior secured by a mortgage lien on the senior’s house, with most of the loan proceeds usually paid out over time rather than upfront, and with no repayment obligation so long as the senior lives in the house.2. What Are the Requirements For Obtaining a HECM Reverse Mortgage? You must be 62 years of age or older, and have significant equity in either a home that is your permanent residence, or one you plan to purchase using the reverse mortgage. The house must be single family, in a 2-to4 family structure, in an FHA-approved condominium, or an approved manufactured home Any existing mortgage on the home must be paid off when you obtain the HECM."

When it’s done right, life insurance is one of the best ways to ensure your family’s financial security. But it’s often sold by companies and insurance agents who don’t have your best interests at heart, which all too often ends with you paying too much for the wrong type of coverage. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Life insurance can be very simple, and most of the time it can provide a lot of protection without much cost. And make no mistake, if you have kids you almost certainly need some amount of life insurance. Because life insurance is the tool that makes sure there will always be financial resources available for them, no matter what. This guide will help you get the right type and the right amount of life insurance, without paying more than you have to.

"text": "\"Generally, when someone passes away and leaves you land, you can do whatever you want with the land, including selling it. However, sometimes the owner can choose to leave you with lifetime rights to the land -- a so-called life estate -- instead of giving you outright ownership, whether the goal is to keep creditors at bay or to control the way the land is transferred after you pass away. Like other states, North Carolina permits landowners to give life estates, but special rules apply to this type of transfer. Life Estates Life estates can be especially beneficial when the land is the family home. For example, a husband might write in his will that he leaves his wife a life estate in their home and the remaining ownership rights to his son. When the husband dies, his wife becomes a “life tenant” and continues to live in their home. When she passes away, the son inherits the property in full. At that time, once he has full ownership rights, the son can transfer or keep the property. Like other interests in real estate, life estates are conveyed, or given, by a recorded deed. However, unlike other interests, life estates terminate automatically when the holder of the life estate dies."

What happens to the debt of the deceased? Does it need to be paid off by heirs? Does it vanish? Who is responsible? There’s no simple answer, and different debts are treated differently. Debt is typically something that’s looked at in context of the entire estate. Most people have certain assets and liabilities, and upon death, you total up the assets, subtract the liabilities (debts), and whatever is left is passed on to the heirs."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Debulking is the reduction of as much of the bulk ( volume) of a tumour as possible. It is usually achieved by surgical removal. [ 1] [2] When performed for curative intent, surgical debulking of tumors is known as cytoreduction or cytoreductive surgery [3] ( CRS ); \"\"cytoreduction\"\" refers to reducing the number of tumor cells. Debulking is used with curative intent in only some types of cancer, as generally partial removal of a malignant tumor is not a worthwhile intervention for curative purposes (because malignant cells left behind soon multiply and renew the threat). Ovarian cancer [4] and some types of brain tumor [5] are debulked before radiotherapy or chemotherapy begin, making those therapies more effective. It may also be used in the case of slow-growing tumors to shift tumor cells from phase of cell cycle to replicative pool. In other types of cancer where debulking is not curative, it is sometimes done with palliative intent to relieve mass effect. For example, tumors whose bulk presses on the lungs or esophagus can impair breathing or swallowing, in which case debulking can improve quality of life [1] and extend survival [1] regardless of not curing the cancer. Debulking procedures are usually long and often complicated, taking several hours or more to perform, depending on internal involvement and location.

Our cancer experts are experienced in performing minimally invasive surgical procedures for brain cancer that precisely and safely remove tumors. The goal of brain cancer surgery is to locate and remove as much of the cancerous tissue as possible, called debulking, and to understand the extent of cancer in the brain. Surgery can also help to relieve pressure inside the skull and restore lost neurological function. It can help to relieve difficult-to-control seizures caused by the tumor. Sometimes, surgery is used to enable direct access for other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Brain cancer surgery often begins with a biopsy. In a biopsy, we remove samples of cancerous tissue from the brain, and a pathologist examines the samples under a microscope for a definitive diagnosis. Often, during a biopsy, we’ll remove the tumor in its entirety, which is particularly important when the tumor threatens important brain structures. Resectable vs. unresectable brain tumors The location and size of the brain tumor, along with other individual factors, determine whether a tumor is resectable or unresectable."

"text": "\"Tumor Removal Tumor Removal Definition Tumor removal is a surgical procedure to remove an abnormal growth. Purpose A tumor can be either benign, like a wart, or malignant, in which case it is a cancer. Benigntumors are well circumscribed and generally are easy to remove completely. In contrast, cancerspose some of the most difficult problems in all of surgery. Currently 40% of all cancers are treated with surgery alone. In 55% of cases, surgery is combined with other treatments—usually radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The doctor needs to decide if surgery should be done at all. Because cancers spread (metastasize) to normal tissues, sometimes at the other end of the body, the ability of surgery to cure must be addressed at the outset. As long as the cancer is localized, the initial presumption is that cure should be attempted by removing it as soon as possible. Non-curative surgery may make other treatments more effective. \"\""

Read More >Overview The successful treatment of ovarian cancer requires the involvement and coordination of several different treatment approaches, including surgery, chemotherapy and, in rare cases, radiation therapy. Nearly all women with ovarian cancer will undergo surgery and chemotherapy. The role of surgery in the initial management of ovarian cancer is to obtain a specimen for determining an accurate diagnosis, provide local treatment of the cancer in the pelvis and abdomen, and obtain other prognostic information to determine the stage of cancer and what additional treatment may be necessary. Despite surgical removal of the tumor, many patients with ovarian cancer will already have microscopic cancer cells, called micrometastases, that have spread away from the ovary to other locations in the abdomen and distant parts of the body. These micrometastases often cannot be detected by currently available tests. Surgery is a local therapy and cannot treat micrometastatic cancer. Therefore, additional systemic treatment using chemotherapy is required to treat micrometastatic cancer. Information obtained during surgery and from other tests determines whether additional treatment with chemotherapy is necessary. Because most patients with ovarian cancer have advanced disease at diagnosis, the majority of patients will receive chemotherapy as part of the overall treatment plan."

"text": "\"Ovarian Cancer In-Depth Report Background The ovaries are two small, almond-shaped organs located on either side of the uterus. They are key components of a woman's reproductive system: Ovaries store 200,000 - 400,000 follicles, tiny sacs that are present from birth, that nurture immature eggs (ova). During each normal (usually monthly) reproductive cycle, a follicle in one ovary bursts and releases a mature or \"\"ripened\"\" egg. The egg travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus, where it either is fertilized by a man's sperm or, if unfertilized, breaks down and is excreted as part of the menstrual cycle. Ovaries also secrete the important reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone. The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth. Ovarian Cancers Ovarian cancers are potentially life-threatening malignancies that develop in one or both ovaries."

Credit: Istockphoto.com/Stock Photo©Dmitrii Kotin What's meant by \"\"optimal\"\" cytoreduction or debulking surgery for ovarian cancer? Cytoreduction or Debulking Surgery If you have undergone surgery for advanced ovarian cancer, one of the most important questions to ask your doctor is whether or not the debulking or cytoreduction was optimal. In other words, has most of the tumor been removed surgically? What is \"\"Optimal\"\" Cytoreduction or Debulking It is not always technically possible to remove most or all of the visible cancer during ovarian cancer surgery. However, we have known that combining aggressive surgery with chemotherapy has led to the best cure rates for over 20 years. Over the years, the type of chemotherapy has changed and so has the definition of how aggressive or “optimal” surgery can or should be. As recently as 10 years ago, the definition of an “optimal” surgery was that tumors no larger than 2 centimeters were left behind (that is about ¾ of an inch). This might be one, or two or many tumors, none of which exceeded 2 centimeters in size. With better tools and surgical techniques, we now know that it is technically very possible for an “optimal” surgery to leave behind less than 1 centimeter tumors, getting to “miliary” (tiny “sand” size cancer nodules) in the majority of patients and even microscopic disease (can’t see it or feel it after surgery) in many patients."

Except in very early stage tumors, a combination of these therapies is usually used. Treatments may also vary if your cancer is a recurrence of an earlier cancer or if you are pregnant. Your Cancer Care Team Your first step in choosing the best treatment options is to understand your cancer care team. It's important to know which provider will play the role of managing your care and who you should call with questions. Most often, ovarian cancer is first diagnosed, or at least suspected, by an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) or another primary care physician. When choosing treatment options, however, it's recommended that you consult with a gynecologic oncologist before starting a regimen. Other members of your health care team may include your primary care physician, an oncology social worker or counselor, a pathologist (who looks at any tissue removed during surgery), and possibly a palliative care physician (who focuses on relieving cancer-related symptoms) or a fertility specialist.

Surgery is the oldest type of cancer therapy and remains an effective treatment for many types of cancer today. The goals of surgery vary. However, it is used for the following reasons: To diagnose cancer To remove all or some of a cancer or tumor Find out where the cancer is located Find out if the cancer has spread or is affecting the functions of other organs in the body To restore the body's appearance or function To relieve side effects The location where you have surgery depends on the extent of the surgery and how much recovery you need.

"text": "\"Description/Scope This document addresses electrical fields known as \"\"tumor treatment fields (TTF)\"\" that are created by low-intensity, intermediate frequency (100–200 kilohertz [k Hz]) electric currents delivered to the malignant tumor site by insulated electrodes placed on the skin surface. TTF is felt to cause tumor cell death (apoptosis) by disrupting the assembly of microtubules during later stages of cell division. Position Statement Medically Necessary: The use of FDA approved devices to generate electric tumor treatment fields (TTF) to treat histologically-confirmed supratentorial glioblastoma (known also as glioblastoma multiforme [GBM] or World Health Organization [WHO] grade IV astrocytoma) is considered medically necessary as adjunctive treatment when all of the following criteria below are met: Initial treatment with debulking surgery or biopsy followed by chemoradiation with concomitant temozolomide and radiotherapy has been completed with no documented tumor progression*; and TTF is used in combination with temozolomide; and TTF is initiated within 7 weeks from final dose of temozolomide and radiotherapy; and Individual has Karnofsky Performance Status score of 70 or higher or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1; and Individual or caregiver has been trained and is willing and able to apply and maintain the device at least 18 hours every day. * Progression is defined as tumor growth greater than 25% compared to smallest measured tumor area or the appearance of one or more new GBM lesions in the brain. Investigational and Not Medically Necessary: The use of devices to generate electric tumor treatment fields (TTF) is considered investigational and not medicallynecessary when the criteria above are not met and for all other malignant tumors. Rationale The use of electric fields and the corresponding effects upon living tissue has been studied in the laboratory and clinical settings. At very low frequencies alternating electric fields (below 1 k Hz) cause membrane depolarization which stimulates excitable tissue (Kirson 2004, 2007, 2009; Salzberg, 2008). Electric fields in the tens of k Hz to megahertz (intermediate frequency) alternate too fast to stimulate tissue and results in minute heating. Kirson and colleagues (2004) demonstrated targeted inhibitory effects on dividing cells with the application of alternating electric fields of very low intensity (less than 2 V/centimeter [cm]) and intermediate frequency, called TTF. Utilizing time-lapse microphotography of mouse melanoma cell cultures, unique cellular processes as a result of TTF exposure were identified."

"text": "Epithelioid Mesothelioma There are three types of mesothelioma cells: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic. Epithelioid mesothelioma is not only the most common, but it is also the most studied and has the best prognosis. What is Epithelioid Mesothelioma? Cancer is the mutation of a previously healthy cell. Cells are programmed to perform a certain duty, to divide, and when they become old, they are programmed to die. Genetic changes to normal cells allow them to ignore their programmed death and continue to divide. Epithelial cells are one of the four tissue types found in the body. They form the lining for organs, hollow cavities, and our skin. When they are exposed to a carcinogen (like asbestos) it causes genetic changes that turn these cells cancerous. Approximately 50 – 70 percent of all mesothelioma cases are epithelioid, which means it’s the one most studied and has the best prognosis."

The primary goals of treating brain tumors are to manage the potential secondary side effects of increased pressure inside the brain/skull and to try to reduce or eliminate the tumor entirely. Three general therapeutic approaches are currently available to treat brain tumors in domestic dogs. These are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Treatment Options Surgical removal of a brain tumor is no simple task. However, it probably is one of the most important initial considerations for owners and veterinarians to consider. Surgery can be used for a biopsy, for partial removal of the mass or, hopefully, for complete resection (removal) of the cancerous tissue. If the tumor in the brain is from metastasis from another location, a surgical “cure” is probably not possible by removing the mass in the brain. However, surgical excision can be used to debulk the tumor and obtain tissue for a laboratory definitive diagnosis of the tumor type. Radiation therapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy for both primary and secondary brain tumors."

"text": "Surgery for ovarian cancer Most women with ovarian cancer will have surgery. The type of surgery you have depends mainly on the type of the tumour and stage of the cancer. When planning surgery, your healthcare team will also consider other factors, such as your age, overall heath and whether you want to get pregnant in the future. Surgery may be done for different reasons. You may have surgery to:accurately diagnose and stage the diseasecompletely remove the tumourremove as much of the cancer as possible (called surgical debulking) before other treatmentsreduce pain or ease symptoms (called palliative surgery)The following types of surgery are used to treat ovarian cancer. You may also have other treatments before or after surgery. Surgical staging Ovarian cancer is staged during surgery and treated at the same time. All of the tissue and fluid samples that are removed are sent to the lab to be checked for cancer cells. Some women who appear to have early stage disease (stage 1) based on diagnostic tests are assigned a higher stage (stage 2 or 3) after their samples have been analyzed in the lab. Surgical staging includes:washing the abdominal cavity to see if there are cancer cells or removing ascites (an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen) for examination to see if there are cancer cellsexamining all surfaces in the pelvis and abdomenscraping the surfaces of the diaphragm to check for cancer cellsbiopsy of any areas that look like cancer and from all areas inside the abdomen and pelvisremoving some lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomenremoving most or all of the omentum (the fatty tissue that covers the abdominal organs)examining or removing the ovary that doesn’t contain cancer If the other ovary appears normal, the surgeon will leave it alone if you wish to get pregnant in the future."

"text": "Cytoreductive Surgery and Heated Chemotherapy (HIPEC)Recent advances in cancer treatments provide Johns Hopkins more effective treatment options for certain late stage gastrointestinal cancers than ever before. A technique called cytoreductive (debulking) surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been shown to be an effective treatment option for certain peritoneal surface malignancy cancers such as selected stage IV colon cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers including appendiceal cancers and pseudomyxoma peritonei. The peritoneal cavity is a space wrapped between two membranes layering the abdominal wall and organs around the abdomen. The technique is a two-step process: Surgically removing any visible tumor or cancer, and then Delivering heated chemotherapy drugs to the affected area. During the second phase of treatment a heated chemotherapy solution is circulated in the abdominal cavity to treat any cancer cells that may remain. The combination of heat and chemotherapy is believed to be more effective than standard chemotherapy treatment for certain patients because it can access and kill more cancer cells than can be found with the naked eye. Recent studies have shown that cytoreductive surgery followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is beneficial for certain patients with late-stage gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal cancers. The procedure can potentially extend their life and also improve quality of life for patients with late stage disease. Since the chemotherapy is delivered internally, some of the traditional side effects of oral or intravenous chemotherapy drugs may be avoided. Quality of care HIPEC is a novel approach to treating late stage gastrointestinal cancers, but it is also considered a risky procedure."

"text": "\"Can Tonsils Grow Back After Removal? Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures that’s performed today. One question that I’m often asked is, can it grow back? The answer is…it depends. Overall, once you take out all your tonsils, it’s unlikely to come back. However, if you’ve only had most or some of your tonsils removed, as long as there’s inflammation, there’s increased risk that it can slowly grow back. Tonsils are made of lymphoid tissue and make up a part of Waldeyer’s ring, with your adenoids at the top in the back of your nose, your two palatine tonsils in your throat, and your single midline lingual tonsils lower down at the base of your tongue. During early development, your tonsils, like all the other lymph nodes in your body, educates your immune system to tell it what’s part of the body and what’s not. Normally, after childhood, the these tonsillar tissues shrink down to small nubbins. However, if you have chronic inflammation in your nose or throat, such as from allergies or acid reflux, chronic irritation causes these “glands” in your throat to swell up."

They are also more common in African-American as compared to Caucasian women. Atypical hyperplasia, the precursor of endometrioid cancer, is not a precursor lesion of UPSC, and UPSC tumors are not associated with estrogen excess. It has been proposed that UPSC carcinomas develop from \"\"endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma\"\" (EIC), a lesion related to malignant transformation of the endometrial surface epithelium (such as a benign endometrial polyp), against a background of endometrial atrophy. Histology — UPSC tumors have complex papillary architecture, which resembles papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary; psammoma bodies are present in 60 percent. Marked nuclear atypia is always present, and all UPSCs are considered high-grade tumors. Most endometrioid cancers are well differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinomas, which are characterized by a proliferation of back-to-back endometrial glands without intervening stroma. Clear cell cancers are characterized by tubulocystic, papillary, or solid patterns; psammoma bodies are present in up to 10 percent of cases, most often in the papillary variant. The cells may be clear because of the presence of glycogen. Myometrial invasion occurs in about 80 percent of cases."

Donald Gray/Feminist literary scholar Susan Gubar was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in November 2008. She then began her emigration \"\"from the world of the healthy to the domain of the ill,\"\" she writes in her book, Memoir of a Debulked Woman. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread throughout the abdomen, and is typically fatal. To slow the spread of the disease, Gubar underwent a procedure known as the mother of all surgeries — a radical debulking operation in which her ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, appendix and parts of her intestine were removed. In her memoir, she details — with graphic honesty — the physical and emotional pain, the surgery, chemotherapy, \"\"intestinal disasters\"\" and psychological changes that followed. When she first received her diagnosis, she tells NPR's Neal Conan, she was relieved. She had seen \"\"how debilitating old age is\"\" in her mother, and cancer, she figured, she could deal with. \"\" I felt strongly then that I wanted to do what I could to sort of save the preciousness of life,\"\" she says. \"\" But I felt I would not go beyond that."

In the upper lid these defects are usually full-thickness, while in the lower lid they are characteristically partial-thickness. Defect size may range from a small indentation at the eyelid margin to absence of almost the entire eyelid. This condition occurs most frequently at the inner portion of the upper eyelid or the outer portion of the lower eyelid. They may be associated with other defects of the eye and/or face. Prior to surgery the eye should be protected with lubricant ointment (Lacrilube). Timing of surgery is dependent upon the degree of corneal exposure. The greater the exposure, the more urgent is the surgery. Such surgery involves surgical freshening of the margins of the defect, accompanied by advancement flap reconstruction.

"text": "Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a type of secondary cancer that affects the lining of the abdominal cavity, called the peritoneum. It occurs when cancer metastasizes from another part of the body and implants into the lining. Peritoneal carcinomatosis most commonly follows severe or untreated pancreas, ovarian, stomach, and colon cancer. Symptoms can vary, but many people experience extreme fatigue and abdominal pain. Quick, aggressive treatment in the form of medications and surgery is vital in preventing fatal complications. Some cancers are more likely to metastasize quickly to the peritoneum than others. Not surprisingly, tumors in organs that are inside or adjacent to the abdominal cavity present the highest risk of developing this type of cancer. People who have widespread cancer in their stomachs and intestines are at an especially high risk, especially if they cause ulcers and ruptures. Ovarian, liver, and pancreatic cancer are notorious for spreading quickly as well. Occasionally, a tumor far from the abdomen or a bone cancer can result in peritoneal carcinomatosis after cancerous cells invade lymph nodes and the bloodstream."

"text": "Full Answer Chatty Cathy was a talking doll made by Mattel beginning in 1960. Pulling a string in her back triggered her to say any of 11 different phrases. Liddle Kiddles hit the market in 1966 and became a must-have collectible for little girls. Each Liddle Kiddle came with its own story and accessories. Because they were tiny and inexpensive, they were attractive to and affordable for young girls. Troll dolls were plastic dolls that all looked the same and came with long frizzy hair. They only were distinguished by their often silly outfits, and they were also sold in a near-naked form. Barbie, based on a German doll from the 1950s, was the first child's doll to have an adult figure, complete with her wasp waist and often controversial breasts. Barbie was the first toy to have a television advertising campaign, which was extremely successful, selling 350,000 dolls in the first year of Barbie's existence. Barbie changed with the times, going from a glamorous girl-next-door at the beginning of the 1960s to a hippie chick by the end of the decade."

She portrayed Marcia Brady on the ABC television sitcom The Brady Bunch, which ran from 1969 to 1974 and reprised the role in several of the numerous Brady Bunch spin-offs and films, including The Brady Kids, The Brady Bunch Hour, The Brady Brides and A Very Brady Christmas (1988). Mc Cormick also appeared in The Idolmaker (1980) as well as a wide range of other supporting film roles. In the 1980s and 1990s, she ventured into stage acting, appearing in a variety of different roles and productions such as Wendy Darling in Peter Pan and Betty Rizzo in Grease. Mc Cormick also had a brief career as a recording artist, releasing four studio albums with the Brady Bunch cast as well as touring with them. Her only release as a solo artist to date is a country music album, When You Get a Little Lonely (1995). Despite professional success on The Brady Bunch and its spin-offs, Mc Cormick struggled largely in her personal life in the years following the original series' end. Addictions to cocaine and quaaludes, as well as bouts of depression and bulimia, all contributed to Mc Cormick losing her reputation for reliability as an actress. Since the 2000s, she has appeared on several reality television series such as VH1 's Celebrity Fit Club, CMT 's Gone Country (which led to a short-lived spin-off series led by Mc Cormick, Outsiders Inn) and the Australian version of I'm a Celebrity...

There is nothing left to do but count the cars in the turnpike, who are of couse all doing what they are doing- looking for America. carabiner86 on May 09, 2003 Link2 Replies Log in to reply+7 General Comment This song first came out when I was in high school, and it has been decades since I really paid any attention to it, but now - looking at the lyrics and singing the song in my head - I can appreciate the genius behind it. Look at how the mood of the song slides from optimistic exuberance to a feeling of emptiness with each verse painting a slightly different mood among the two lovers. I especially like the transition from the silliness of “I said ‘Be careful his bowtie is really a camera’” to the impending gloom of \"\"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat\"\". WOW!! Absolutely beautiful."

"text": "Q&A: Star/Scripter Kate Siegel Speaks Up About “HUSH”in: Fearful Features, Home, Movies/TV, News | April 11, 2016 - 11:19 am | by: Michael Gingold | Comments Off on Q&A: Star/Scripter Kate Siegel Speaks Up About “HUSH”When the blood-chilling, pulse-quickening survival-horror film HUSH premiered globally on Netflix over the weekend, audiences were introduced to a powerful new horror heroine. FANGORIA spoke exclusively to the woman behind the role as both actress and co-scripter, Kate Siegel. Directed and co-written by Mike Flanagan (ABSENTIA, OCULUS), the Blumhouse/Intrepid Pictures production sees Siegel playing someone who can’t hear or speak: Maddie, an author living in an isolated house. Already struggling with writer’s block, she’s forced into a fight for her life when a masked stranger billed only as The Man (John Gallagher Jr.) turns up with murderous intent (see review here ). It’s a breakthrough turn for Siegel, who previously had a small part in OCULUS and is partners with Flanagan (who discusses HUSH here) in life and art. FANGORIA: How did you and Flanagan come up with HUSH? KATE SIEGEL: We were out at dinner and discussing movies we both love, and one that came up was WAIT UNTIL DARK. We talked about how we really enjoyed that it took a basic premise and used blindness to turn on it on its side. And we were talking about movies we’d want to make, and Mike was saying he wanted to do one without dialogue; he’d always wanted to play with that. I was talking about how we have all these glass doors and windows in our house, and I’m always afraid at night when I walk by that there’s going to be a masked man standing there."

"text": "\"Ten things you might not know about Joe Theismann's broken leg Lawrence Taylor looks on as Joe Theismann is loaded onto a stretcher after his leg was broken by Taylor's tackle. Nate Fine/Getty Images Nov 18, 2015Kevin Stone ESPN.com Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment Editor's note: This story was first published on Nov. 18, 2015. There are a lot of things that are fairly well known about Joe Theismann. It's common knowledge that when he was at Notre Dame, the pronunciation of his name was changed from \"\"Theesman\"\" to rhyme with a certain trophy awarded to the country's best college football player (he finished second in the Heisman voting in 1970). It's no secret that he started his pro career in the Canadian Football League. Football fans are well aware that he quarterbacked the Washington Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII and that he moved to the broadcast booth when his playing career was over. But there's one thing that everybody knows about Joe Theismann. On Nov. 18, 1985, New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor pounced on Theismann from behind during the second quarter of a Monday Night Football game at RFK Stadium. It wasn't until the reverse angle of the play was shown that it became clear why Theismann didn't get up after the sack and why Taylor frantically signaled to the sideline for help. The blow caused a gruesome break of Theismann's right leg between the knee and ankle."

Amazingly, the song was written by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis during their first-ever songwriting session together. Can’t Get You Out of My Head became the first song in UK radio history to have 3,000 radio plays in a single week, it went to number one in every European country bar Finland, it gave Minogue her first US top-ten single in more than a decade and has sold more than four million copies. The track won three Ivor Novello Awards for 2001. M spoke to the award winning songwriters Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis about how they wrote this enduring pop hit. Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis with their haul of Ivors for Can't Get You Out Of My Head‘We wrote the song at home, in my old house in the autumn of 2000. I think it was Simon Fuller who put us together via Universal Publishing,’ says Rob. ‘ It was the second song I wrote with Cathy. We had two days together and on the second day we wrote Can’t Get You Out of My Head .’‘It was a very natural and fluid process,’ remembers Cathy. ‘ The whole thing – and it does annoy me, as it will annoy others – was written in about three and a half hours."

They're not as dissimilar to humans as you might think: Just as with people, feline seniors often experience senility and many of the issues associated with it -- think forgetfulness and overall feelings of confusion. Feline Cognitive Dysfunction Cats age much quicker than humans due to their significantly shorter lifespans. In fact, cats are sometimes considered to be senior citizens at as young as age 7. However, for the most part, the decline in cats' cognitive abilities begins around about 10 years old. When cats have feline cognitive dysfunction, they experience a wide array of auditory, visual and joint problems. The condition is extremely prevalent in geriatric cats, especially in those past 15 years old. Confusion Feelings of confusion and disorientation are common in feline senility.

Tired of having to carry on the entire conversation by yourself at tea parties? Let Chatty Cathy take some of the social weight off your shoulders. Of course, the conversation would end up something like this:“Chatty Cathy, your new Pink Peppermint dress is absolutely lovely”“Let’s play house”“What’s that, Chatty Cathy? You want some more cookies?”“Please change my dress”Mattel introduced its Chatty Cathy doll line in 1959, and the little sweetheart was an instant must-have for Baby Boomer girls. Like most dolls, Chatty Cathy took several forms – different hairstyles and colours, different eye colours and styles, and even different skin tones – along with several too-adorable-to-be-true outfits. But what really set Cathy apart from her dollmates was the power of speech, originally provided by June Foray, the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel (among many others) from The Bullwinkle Show. Maureen Mc Cormick (TV’s Marcia Brady) later took over Cathy’s vocals in the 1970’s. Cathy’s many outfits – including seasonal wear like fur-lined coats and springtime play dresses – kept the games of dress-up fresh, but Cathy’s life was still missing something. Mattel soon figured it out: The poor little doll was lonely, the only one of her kind."

One guest of honor was only 11 years old but was already being touted as a future hockey superstar. Howe, always personable and patient with kids, smiled as he posed with the boy, hooking his stick around the chin and left ear of the slightly embarrassed youngster with the blond bangs. The kid was Wayne Gretzky, who would go on to break Howe’s NHL record of 1,850 points in 1989. But Howe always maintained a prime place in fans’ hearts long after Gretzky passed his scoring mark. Howe, known as “Mr. Hockey” for his enduring skills and the fierce competitiveness that inspired him to come out of retirement at 45 to play alongside two of his sons, died Friday, according to the Detroit Red Wings. He was 88.“Mr Hockey left peacefully, beautifully, and w no regrets,” his son Murray Howe said in a text to the Associated Press. Howe suffered a massive stroke on Oct. 26, 2014, and had rallied only to be felled by several subsequent strokes that robbed him of his speech and confined him to bed."

[ 2] Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the month of August. [ 3]It is an open access (or \"\" unjuried \"\") performing arts festival, meaning there is no selection committee, and anyone may participate, with any type of performance. The official Fringe Programme categorises shows into sections for theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events. Comedy is the largest section and the one that in modern times has the highest public profile, due in part to the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. The Festival is supported by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets to all events from a central physical box office and website, and offers year-round advice and support to performers. The Society's permanent location is at the Fringe Shop on the Royal Mile, and in August they also manage Fringe Central, a separate collection of spaces in Appleton Tower and other University of Edinburgh buildings, dedicated to providing support for Fringe participants during their time at the festival. The Fringe board of directors is drawn from members of the Festival Fringe Society, who are often Fringe participants themselves – performers or administrators. Elections are held once a year, in August, and Board members serve a term of four years. The Board appoints the Fringe Chief Executive (formerly known as the Fringe Administrator or Director), currently Shona Mc Carthy who assumed the role in March 2016. ["

"text": "\"Monday, 25 August 2014Scandal Engulfs Common Core Architect for Rewrite of U. S. History Written by Alex Newman Tweetfont size Print Email After recently facing controversy for dumbing down the SAT to better align it with the Obama-backed Common Core national education standards, College Board boss and Common Core architect David Coleman is once again at the center of an escalating political firestorm. This time, the powerful “educrat” and the federally funded outfit he leads are under fire for literally trying to rewrite American history with what critics charge is a wildly slanted “curriculum” that is biased to the point of being detached from reality. Organized opposition to the attempt is accelerating quickly; so much so that the organization responsible for the new curriculum refuses to name the authors and announced that it would be “clarifying” the changes soon. Still, opponents say the rewrite of American history should be scrapped altogether — or, at the very least, delayed pending a thorough review and appropriate revisions. Activists and political leaders are already working with authorities in several states such as Texas to block the scheme. “David Coleman may have gone too far this time,” noted Dr. Carole Hornsby Haynes, a curriculum and education specialist. Experts say the biggest problem with the new curriculum is its brazen effort to teach “history” through what analysts describe as a “progressive” lens. Instead of focusing on actual U. S. history, for example, critics say the radical new Advanced Placement (AP) history curriculum represents hard-core Marxist indoctrination. Among other concerns, a growing roster of opponents argue that the new scheme hypes and exaggerates real or imagined wrongs while presenting everything in a collectivist mold. Meanwhile, it downplays and ignores virtues and goodness in America’s historical development and its experiments with liberty and self-government."

Latin fimbriatus is derived from fimbria (\"\"fringe\"\"). The plural of fimbria, fimbriae, gave rise to Vulgar Latin frimbia (notice the alteration of the spelling), which was then adopted by Anglo-French as frenge.

Some of the most popular fashions are classic, they can stand the test of time and hardly ever \"\"go out of style\"\", only experiencing minor changes to keep up with the trends. Other clothing items could be considered \"\"fads\"\", styles that are only popular for a short season and then never worn again. Often certain fashion trends are dependent on the tastes of particular groups of people or cliques and are usually associated with social status or cultural preferences like the type of music a person likes. Fashion can also be influenced by world events such as war or the economy. For example, during World War II, people were only allowed a certain amount of fabric so they were forced to create simple outfits that were practical enough for wartime duties. From the 1920s to the 1990s, popular fashions reflected the mood of each decade and showcased changes in society as the styles of clothing and accessories evolved with the times. Dresses and Skirts - From Mini to Maxi, Pleats to Pencil Changes in skirts and dress fashion have changed and varied dramatically between the 1920s to the present, as well as within each decade. In 1920, only a few years after World War I, skirt and dress hemlines rose and waist lines lowered to the hip. These changes accompanied the boyish flapper fashions that marked the 1920's as a decade of decadence and fun."

So, here are 13 more disturbing pieces of art, and they’re all created by women.1. Artemesia Gentileschi - Judith and her Maidservant The most remarked-upon absence from the previous list was Artemesia Gentileschi’s version of Judith Slaying Holofernes (as opposed to the Caravaggio, Judith Beheading Holofernes, that we featured). Feel free to click on each and decide which you prefer! In the meantime, this is an equally disturbing follow-up piece to Gentileschi’s depiction, showing Judith and her maid’s escape from Holofernes’ quarters with his severed, bleeding head in a basket.

"text": "The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) supports doing a study on the effects of oral chelation therapy in autism. The proposal is highly controversial, is drawing criticism from many scientists, but has popular support among parents who believe this type of therapy might help their children with autism. The proposal raises many questions about the ethics of biomedical research. Chelation and Autism Chelation therapy is a legitimate FDA approved treatment for heavy metal poisoning. The drugs used for chelation, such as disodium EDTA, bind to heavy metals so that they can be removed from the body. Chelation drugs can be given either orally or intravenously. The treatment is somewhat risky because it can also remove needed electrolytes, like calcium, from the body or causes shifts in the electrolytes that can cause arhythmias and changes in brain function. There are reported cases of cardiac arrest and death due to chelation. Chelation therapy has a long history of quackery – not for its intended use but for other uses for which there is no evidence. The classic example of this is the use of c helation therapy to treat atherosclerosis to prevent heart disease."

"text": "Really? Is Baseball Less Popular?by Keith Isley August 18, 2006A recent analysis of baseball’s popularity by Gary Gillette concluded that the game is “not nearly as popular now as it once was.” Gary Gillette is the co-chair of SABR’s Business of Baseball committee and editor of the 2006 ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, making this piece especially credible. So how do you explain a Gallup News Service release four months earlier that proclaimed “nearly half of Americans are baseball fans,” which is about the same proportion of baseball fans that Gallup found in 1993? Gary Gillette drew his conclusions from a review of polls, television ratings, attendance and revenue figures, press coverage and such. Although impressive and important to understanding baseball’s position among competing sport products, most of this evidence is circumstantial. Only the opinion polls have scientific validity, as they are quasi-experimental findings from large randomly chosen samples of telephone households, tracked over multiple occasions, and with known error ranges that make the polls projectable to the U. S. population. The only opinion research cited by Gary Gillette are favorite sport polls from the respected Pew and Gallup organizations. These polls always find that football is America’s favorite sport. In recent times, football has dominated baseball, with around a 34% to 13% lead."

"text": "\"Sizes of the Stars Introduction In 1920, A. A. Michelson and F. G. Pease measured the angular diameter of Betelgeuse, α Orionis, with the 100-inch reflector at Mount Wilson. From its distance, they directly inferred its diameter, confirming that it was a huge star. This was the first direct measurement of stellar diameter; all other methods had been indirect and subject to uncertainty. Attempts to enlarge the phase interferometer to make the method applicable to a larger number of stars undertaken by Pease in later years were unsuccessful. In 1956 Hanbury Brown and Twiss applied a method they had devised for radio astronomy to visual astronomy and measured the angular diameter of Sirius, α Canis Majoris. This was the intensity interferometer, which removed most of the limitations of the phase interferometer, allowing measurements on a much larger sample of stars. A large interferometer was built at Narrabri, NSW, Australia, which finally provided a number of accurate stellar diameters by direct measurement after 1968. These important and interesting developments are largely ignored in astronomy textbooks. The Michelson experiment is usually only briefly acknowledged, and the Hanbury Brown inteferometer is not mentioned at all. One reason for this is the difficulty of explaining the method, especially without mathematics."

The original gypsies came from northern India and Egypt. They were a nomadic group who lived on and worked the land to make a living on only what was available to them. This nomadic life required extraordinary creativity and intelligence in order to survive.

In fact, throughout most of the 1980s, health-spending per capita in the private sector rose much more rapidly than did spending by Medicare per Medicare enrollee, which is one of the better kept secrets among the general public. Throughout the 1980s, corporate executivee wailed that \"\"government was not paying its fair share\"\" of health care costs. In fact, these executives were lamenting the fact that government was controlling health spending better than they did. In the end, private sector health spending got so out of control that employers became desperate. After Governor Clinton was elected President, executives of major corporations jetted to Little Rock to beseech him for help in their fight with the health-care sector. But not all of them did. Some had discovered the confluence of three independent factors that gave them a unique opportunity to tame the health-care cost monster: (1) the general recession that began in the late 1980s and ran into about 1992; (2) the general restructuring of corporate America, set off in part by the debt binge upon which corporate America had embarked earlier in the decade and that had put severe pressure on executives to cut costs; and (3) an earlier decade's worth of experimentation with managed care techniques that now, in the early 1990s, lay on sundry shelves, ready to be used. The first and second factors made the typical employee fear for his or her job, to which the family's health insurance was tied."

Latin America. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Latin America is generally understood to consist of the entire continent of South America in addition to Mexico, Central America, and the islands of the Caribbean whose inhabitants speak a Romance language. The peoples of this large area shared the experience of conquest and colonization by the Spaniards and Portuguese from the late 15th through the 18th century as well as movements of independence from Spain and Portugal in the early 19th century. Even since independence, many of the various nations have experienced similar trends, and they have some awareness of a common heritage. However, there are also enormous differences between them. Not only do the people live in a large number of independent units, but the geography and climate of their countries vary immensely. The inhabitants’ social and cultural characteristics differ according to the constitution of the occupants before the Iberian conquest, the timing and nature of European occupation, and their varying material endowments and economic roles. Since the Spanish and Portuguese element looms so large in the history of the region, it is sometimes proposed that Iberoamerica would be a better term than Latin America. Latin seems to suggest an equal importance of the French and Italian contributions, which is far from being the case."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from 1990s fashion)navigation search A group of people in January 1999 sporting various mid and late 1990s fashions. For most of the decade, 1990s fashion in Europe, Oceania, Asia, and America was defined by a return to minimalist fashion [1] in contrast to the more elaborate and flashy trends of the 1980s. One notable shift in the western world was the mainstream adoption of tattoos, [2] body piercings aside from ear piercing [3] and to a much lesser extent, other forms of body modification such as branding. In the early 1990s, several late 1980s fashions remained very stylish among both sexes. However, the popularity of grunge and alternative rock music helped bring the simple, unkempt grunge look to the mainstream by 1992. The anti-conformist approach to fashion led to the popularization of the casual chic look that included T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and sneakers, a trend which continued into the 2000s. Additionally, fashion trends throughout the decade recycled styles from previous decades, [4] notably the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Due to increased availability of the internet [5] and satellite television outside the United States, plus the reduction of import tariffs under NAFTA, fashion became more globalized [6] and homogeneous in the late 1990s [7] and early 2000s.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The quote below concerning gold fringe on the Flag is from the book \"\"So Proudly We Hail, The History of the United States Flag\"\" Smithsonian Institute Press 1981, by Wiliam R. Furlong and Byron Mc Candless. \"\" The placing of a fringe on Our Flag is optional with the person of organization, and no Act of Congress or Executive Order either prohibits the practice, according to the Institute of Hearaldry. Fringe is used on indoor flags only, as fringe on flags on outdoor flags would deteriorate rapidly. The fringe on a Flag is considered and 'honorable enrichment only', and its official use by the US Army dates from 1895.. A 1925 Attorney General's Opinion states: 'the fringe does not appear to be regarded as an integral part of the Flag, and its presence cannot be said to constitute an unauthorized addition to the design prescribed by statute. An external fringe is to be distinguished from letters, words, or emblematic designs printed or superimposed upon the body of the flag itself. Under law, such additions might be open to objection as unauthorized; but the same is not necessarily true of the fringe.'\"\" The gold trim is generally used on ceremonial indoor flags that are used for special services and is believed to have been first used in a military setting. It has no specific significance that I have ever run across, and its (gold trim) use is in compliance with applicable flag codes and laws. FALLEN ANGEL · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating\"\"The nitwits have amongst themselves this strange superstition that the presence of a gold trim on a courtroom's flag somehow imposes some different sort of law than what's expected -- although they cannot get their stories straight on whether it's martial law or maritime law, the two being very different."

If we let W stand for width and L stand for length, (obvious, but it's good to state it) then: L = 2W And we know the perimeter is found by adding up the length of each side (L + W + L + W or 2L + 2W) so: 90 = 2L + 2W The first statement says that L is equal to 2W so we can subsitute that into the equation. ( We only want to have one variable) 90 = 2 (2W) + 2W Then we distribute: 90 = 4W + 2W 90 = 6W (Adding like terms) 15 = W (Dividing both sides by six) The width is 15 meters.

It was mayhem in a way, with each designer opting to utilize another trend entirely. We were treated to so much that we are sure that almost anything we wear now goes. And then we realize that just is not the case. Update: Discover the new trend report here: Spring/ Summer 2016 Fashion Trends While we may love the fashion shows we get to watch for about a month and a half, between New York Fashion Week and the one in London, and then comes Milan and finally we are given a taste of the Parisian brands on the catwalk, we also know that it can get frustrating trying to keep up with all the different looks that we can try on. While some are ludicrous for everyday wear, such as the bare chests or their barely covered up alternatives, others are beyond amazing, such as the velvet materials and the slits going right up the thighs. Yet when it comes to finding a single source that lists all the different looks in one place, we are at a loss.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from 1990s fashion)navigation search A group of people in January 1999 sporting various mid and late 1990s fashions. For most of the decade, 1990s fashion in Europe, Oceania, Asia, and America was defined by a return to minimalist fashion [1] in contrast to the more elaborate and flashy trends of the 1980s. One notable shift in the western world was the mainstream adoption of tattoos, [2] body piercings aside from ear piercing [3] and to a much lesser extent, other forms of body modification such as branding. In the early 1990s, several late 1980s fashions remained very stylish among both sexes. However, the popularity of grunge and alternative rock music helped bring the simple, unkempt grunge look to the mainstream by 1992. The anti-conformist approach to fashion led to the popularization of the casual chic look that included T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and sneakers, a trend which continued into the 2000s. Additionally, fashion trends throughout the decade recycled styles from previous decades, [4] notably the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Due to increased availability of the internet [5] and satellite television outside the United States, plus the reduction of import tariffs under NAFTA, fashion became more globalized [6] and homogeneous in the late 1990s [7] and early 2000s.

"text": "Tie dye is a technique for dying natural fabrics that results in interesting, colorful patterns. The technique involves crumpling, pleating or folding the fabric into various patterns, then tying it with string, which is what gives it its name. The tied fabric is dipped into vats of dye, then wrung out and rinsed. Tied areas accept dye unevenly amidst the folds, creating varied patterns in the finished product. It is important for individuals to select natural fabrics to tie dye, as synthetics generally do not readily accept dye. Cotton is an excellent choice, making tie dyed T-shirts a favorite. People can also use this technique on silk scarves, bed sheets, blouses, skirts, and pants. People commonly use three colors in the process, though they can use more or fewer, if desired. When using multiple colors, it's important for the crafter to choose those that will blend well to make interesting secondary colors in areas where the dyes fade into one another. Dye vats are prepared ahead of time in buckets or plastic tubs."

However, make certain that you wash it completely separate from any other clothing to avoid dying other items accidentally, and only after you've rinsed the excess dye from the fabric.

The period saw many changes in fashion, including changes in styles, fashion technology and the methods of distribution. Various movement in architecture, literature, and the decorative and visual arts as well as a changing perception of the traditional gender roles also influenced fashion . Under Queen Victoria 's rule, England enjoyed a period of economic growth along with technological advancement. Mass production of sewing machines in the 1850s as well as the advent of synthetic dyes introduced major changes in fashion. [ 1] Clothing could be made quicker and more cheaply. Advancement in printing and proliferation of fashion magazines allowed the masses to participate in the evolving trends of high fashion, opening the market of mass consumption and advertising. By 1905, clothing was increasingly factory made and often sold in large, fixed-price department stores, spurring a new age of consumerism with the rising middle class who benefited from the industrial revolution.

"text": "\"The Plane Crash That Killed Lynyrd Skynyrd Original Members One of the greatest tragedies in music history is the plane crash that took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant and the Gaines siblings, the early members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Is there a fan of classic rock who doesn't know the song “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd? It is one of the songs most requested, to a sometimes annoying and laughable degree, by audiences wherever bar bands play. But maybe what is less well known is the fate of 3 of the Lynyrd Skynyrd original members, including the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie Van Zant. A tragic plane crash took the lives of these band members and severely injured everyone else on board the aircraft in 1977. Here is the story of the rise and fall of one of America's most original and loved rock bands. Ad Musicians That Died In Plane Crashes - There Were Many Rock stars that died young in plane crashes have been with us (before leaving us) since the very early days of rock and roll, and right up to the present day. My wife is afraid of flying, and when you put musicians who died in plane crashes in a summary like this, I can almost understand why. Because touring and playing live shows was such an important part of the new business of rock in the 1950s, musicians and performers used air travel to get to far-flung locations on time. Invariably, the more aircraft were used to transport these budding celebrities, the more chance there was for a tragedy."

It's a classic look and often emulated for Halloween costumes. Draw some inspiration from The Great Gatsby as we take a closer look at the 1920s style. Here are a few basics: Sheath dresses - These dresses are often just below knee-length. The waistline should sit low on your hips. These dresses aren't form-fitting! Sheaths are cut relatively straight and just hang off of your body. Fishnet tights - For extra authenticity, find nylons with seams running up the back."

"text": "\"History of the T-shirt. The dubbed \"\"T-shirt\"\" surfaced in the United States when they were issued by the U. S. Navy sometime around the Spanish American War. They featured crew-necks and short sleeves and were meant to be worn as underwear beneath the uniform. Soon it was adopted by the Army as part of the standard issue ensemble given to recruits. It got its iconic name from its shape resembling the letter \"\"T\"\". Dockworkers, farmers, miners, and construction type workers also adopted the T-shirt preferring the lightweight fabric in hotter weather conditions. The inexpensive cotton and easy to clean garment became the shirt of choice by mothers for their sons as outerwear for chores and play. By the 1920's \"\"T-shirt\"\" became an official American-English word in the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary. The earliest printed shirts were perhaps the tees in the Wizard of Oz (photo above) and also the highly sought-after collectible tee made for promoting the 1939 film The Wizard of OZ (no photo available). Credit of the first printed tee (at least being worn in a photo) often goes to the Air Corps Gunnery School T-shirt featured on the July 13th, 1942 cover of LIFE magazine."

Report abuse Transcript of Changes in Fashion - 1960's Changes in Fashion - 1960's Jackie Kennedy Twiggy CHANGE in Fashion throughout the 1960's The 1960's was a time of increased self-expression through fashion. The early 60's saw a more conservative, yet stylish style of dressing for women, who were looking for fashion-forward clothes to wear as they moved out of domestic work and into the work force. For people who followed this trend, the styles of women like Jackie Kennedy and Lesley 'Twiggy' Hornby were extremely popular. The late 60's saw the beginning of the 'hippie' movement. Women wore relaxed, flowing clothes with psychedelic prints that were made of tie-dye fabrics and began to reject the need to look 'made up.' Both of these major fashion trends in the 1960's followed the events that were happening in society such as the Vietnam War which influenced the hippie movement- e.g. Tie-dye shirts printed with the slogan 'Love not War.' The major fashion changes in the 1960's allowed for a variety of trends that let people express themselves through their style and dress. The 60's also marked the change from the lady-like looks of the 1950's to the free-spirited looks of the 70's. The birth of the Hippies Along with women's fashion trend of the classy, yet fashionable worker, the other major look of the 1960's was 'the hippie look'."

"text": "Tie Dye Tutorial: 6 Tie Dye Shirts to Make with Kids this Summerby Wendy Copley on August 9, 2009A couple of weeks ago, I tie-dyed t-shirts with my son as an afternoon time-killer. We had a lot of fun doing it because it was easy (no seriously — it really was) and the shirts came out great! These were not the mediocre, faded Rit dye type of shirts I made in high school and college. These came out with bright, saturated colors and there weren’t any huge swaths of un-dyed fabric. I thought I’d share what I learned about tie-dying with you all. Step 1: Gather your supplies First off, you’ll need to gather your supplies. You can buy individual dyes, rubber bands, and gloves or you can buy a kit and have all that work done for you. I’m lazy, so I opted for the kit. I got this one at Jo Ann’s with a 40% off coupon, so it was about $6. You can also buy them online at Amazon in lots of color combinations."

Warning: Only use 100% natural fibers, and there is a danger of damage to the garment. The process involves intentionally overapplying bleach to remove color from the shirt. To start, gather together 100% cotton shirts, bleach, rubber bands, gloves, and a container to soak them in. To get started, rinse the shirts, and squeeze to remove most of the water. Now that the shirts are damp, tie as you would for normal tie dying. To make a spiral, lay the shirt flat, fold in half lengthwise, and start to twist, starting from the center. Continue winding the shirt around the middle, keeping it flat and disk shaped. Secure with rubber bands. Other patterns can be made by tying in different places in different ways."

It’s mind-blowing to see how far fashion has come and what was actually in style over the years. Because we loved this video so much, we decided to do a little more digging into the history of women’s fashion. Here, we’ve broken down each decade for you, from what women were wearing back in the day to how you can replicate each era today. Take a trip down memory lane with us as we explore a century of style!1900’s: Decade of Opulence Trailing influence from the end of the 1800’s, the beginning of the 20th century was a time of opulence and elegance when it came to what women wore. If you were anybody respectable, you made annual pilgrimages to the high streets of Paris to shop with vendeuses who helped you pick out your entire wardrobe for the upcoming seasons. Parisienne fashion was the pinnacle of couture and exclusivity, and women everywhere in the world sought it out. Women in the 1900’s donned tight straight and s-curved corsets, snug collars, tons of lace, and skirts with trains. The way a woman dressed was of the utmost importance, and what you wore for your morning errands was different than your afternoon gown and different still from your evening ensemble, and so on and so forth. Your wardrobe on a daily basis would strictly adhere to a set formula of day and night undergarments, Edwardian corsets, and stockings (two different pairs per day, to be exact!)."

A blue T-shirt T-shirt day in Leipzig Replica of a Copa Libertadores 1989 shirt A T-shirt (or t shirt, or tee) is a style of unisex fabric shirt named after the T shape of its body and sleeves. It normally has short sleeves and a round neckline, known as a crew neck, which lacks a collar. T-shirts are generally made of a light, inexpensive fabric and are easy to clean. Typically made of cotton textile in a stockinette or jersey knit, it has a distinctively pliable texture compared to shirts made of woven cloth. Most modern versions have a body made from a continuously woven tube, produced on a circular loom, such that the torso has no side seams. The manufacture of T-shirts has become highly automated and may include cutting fabric with a laser or a water jet. The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century and, in the mid-20th century, transitioned from undergarment to general-use casual clothing. A V-neck T-shirt has a V-shaped neckline, as opposed to the round neckline of the more common crew neck shirt (also called a U-neck). V-necks were introduced so that the neckline of the shirt does not show when worn beneath an outer shirt, as would that of a crew neck shirt. ["

Some of the most popular fashions are classic, they can stand the test of time and hardly ever \"\"go out of style\"\", only experiencing minor changes to keep up with the trends. Other clothing items could be considered \"\"fads\"\", styles that are only popular for a short season and then never worn again. Often certain fashion trends are dependent on the tastes of particular groups of people or cliques and are usually associated with social status or cultural preferences like the type of music a person likes. Fashion can also be influenced by world events such as war or the economy. For example, during World War II, people were only allowed a certain amount of fabric so they were forced to create simple outfits that were practical enough for wartime duties. From the 1920s to the 1990s, popular fashions reflected the mood of each decade and showcased changes in society as the styles of clothing and accessories evolved with the times. Dresses and Skirts - From Mini to Maxi, Pleats to Pencil Changes in skirts and dress fashion have changed and varied dramatically between the 1920s to the present, as well as within each decade. In 1920, only a few years after World War I, skirt and dress hemlines rose and waist lines lowered to the hip. These changes accompanied the boyish flapper fashions that marked the 1920's as a decade of decadence and fun."

"text": "Television Estelle Getty, ‘Golden Girls’ Matriarch, Dies at 84By BRUCE WEBER JULY 23, 2008Estelle Getty, whose portrayal of a crabbily charming octogenarian on the television sitcom “The Golden Girls” gave new prominence to elderly characters in prime time and endeared her to viewers of all ages, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. She was 84. Her son Carl Gettleman confirmed her death. Ms. Getty had been suffering from Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disease. Long before “Golden Girls” Ms. Getty had been portraying maternal types of all sorts on the stage. “I am the mother,” she declared in her opening line in “Torch Song Trilogy,” Harvey Fierstein’s 1981 play about the travails of a gay man in New York City, and as a summary of her career, her character was right. “I’ve played mothers to heroes and mothers to zeroes,” Ms. Getty wrote in her autobiography, “If I Knew Then What I Know Now ... So What?” ( Contemporary Books, 1988). “ I’ve played Irish mothers, Jewish mothers, Italian mothers, Southern mothers, mothers in plays by Neil Simon and Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. I’ve played mother to everyone but Attila the Hun."

The main characters are performers in the base's Concert Party, which involved putting on comic acts and musical performances (similar to those seen in a music hall) for the other soldiers prior to their departure for the front lines. The soldiers in the Concert Party all love this particular job, as it keeps them out of combat duty, but some do harbour dreams of becoming world-famous actors when they leave the army. The main characters include Gunner \"\"Lofty\"\" Sugden, a short, fat soldier who wears a pith helmet and possesses an incredible singing voice; Gunner \"\"Parky\"\" Parkin, a young recruit who, though eager, is slightly bumbling and has very little aptitude for the theatre; Gunner \"\"La-de-dah\"\"/\"\"Paderewski\"\" Graham, a bald-headed and intelligent Oxford graduate who plays the piano; Gunner \"\"Atlas\"\" Mackintosh, a short-tempered Scotsman who specialises in feats of strength; Gunner \"\"Nobby\"\" Clark, a not-very-bright soldier who does bird calls and whistling acts; and Gunner \"\"Nosher\"\" Evans, a soldier who does a paper-tearing act and tends to eat a lot, spraying food whenever he speaks."

"text": "ENTERTAINMENT 03/10/2015 08:12 am ET Updated Dec 06, 201711 Stories Behind The Best Songs On The ‘Empire’ Soundtrack By Jessica Goodman Fox Just nine episodes of “Empire” have aired and it’s already the biggest network drama in five years, raking in numbers that haven’t been reached since a 2009 episode of “Grey’s Anatomy.” Created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, “Empire” — which, for the uninitiated, is about an entertainment conglomerate on the verge of an IPO and the dramatic, maniacal family who runs it — is also positioning itself to succeed in the real-life music industry. Longtime producer Timbaland serves as music supervisor, and with the help of his protégé, Jim Beanz, he’s made “Empire” a hit factory. Season 1’s soundtrack drops Tuesday and features 18 original songs. The show’s Spotify account lists dozens more that didn’t make the cut. There’s even talk of taking the show on the road, a la Fox’s other music-heavy show, “Glee,” and touring with the cast’s stars. There’s no critical consensus as to whether the music is actually good — some tracks are corny and calculated, others are straight-up bangers — but it’s undeniable that “Empire” is sitting on pot of gold. According to Beanz, whose given name is James David Washington, Daniels or directors will give notes on what the songs should sound like, to help convey a feeling or plot point. “ Music for television is absolutely different than music for radio,” Washington told The Huffington Post. “ The idea for the songs can change at the drop of a dime."

Almost immediately, Bonnie abandons her dreams of becoming a movie star and takes off on a whirlwind tour of Depression-era Texas, where they become legendary bank robbers. As their fame grows, so does their gang with the addition of gas station attendant C. W. Moss and Clyde's brother and sister-in-law. But with their growing notoriety as modern-day Robin Hoods and murderers comes the increasing threat of a fatal run-in with the law. After a heart-breaking visit with Bonnie's family, in which she realizes that she literally can't go home again, they are caught in a series of ever-more-deadly ambushes that decimate the Barrow Gang and threaten to end the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. Director: Arthur Penn Producer: Warren Beatty Screenplay: David Newman, Robert Benton Cinematography: Burnett Guffey Editing: Dede Allen Art Direction: Dean Tavoularis Music: Charles Strouse Cast: Warren Beatty (Clyde Barrow), Faye Dunaway (Bonnie Parker), Michael J. Pollard (C. W. Moss), Gene Hackman (Buck Barrow), Estelle Parsons (Blanche Barrow), Denver Pyle (Frank Hamer), Dub Taylor (Ivan Moss), Evans Evans (Velma Davis), Gene Wilder (Eugene Grizzard). C-118m. Why BONNIE AND CLYDE is Essential Film historians credit Bonnie and Clyde with inaugurating a new era in American film in the late sixties which resulted in a Hollywood renaissance that reached its peak in the mid-seventies. Suddenly directors were the center of the American filmmaking industry, and several studios, including Warner Bros. and Columbia, responded by creating low-budget production units dedicated to producing the work of exciting new talents like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Peter Bogdanovich. To many, this is one of the most exciting periods in American film history."

The fact that she won only once, in 1988, following a Golden Globe in 1986, might be seen as a metaphor for her persistence; as she said in her autobiography If I Knew Then What I Know Now, published that same year, \"\"after 50 years in the business I'm an overnight success. \"\" In The Golden Girls, Getty, who stood less than 5ft tall, played Sophia Petrillo, living with her daughter Dorothy Zbornak, played by Bea Arthur, and two of her daughter's friends. Although mother and daughter were nominally Italian by background, in comic reality they were Jewish. Getty played the archetypical Jewish mother, specialising in passive-aggressive verbal warfare, unafraid to take advantage of having suffered a stroke to force reluctant sympathy from her daughter. Sign up for Guardian Today US edition: the day's must-reads sent directly to you Read more She was actually a year younger than Arthur, but was totally convincing in a white wig, large glasses, and dowdy clothes, providing a one-woman chorus for the zany activities of the three younger women, and the perfect foil for Arthur's own heavy sarcasm. The role was so credible, it even provided the model for the grandmother character in the comedy animation series Dinosaurs. \"\" I've played mothers in plays by Neil Simon, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams . . . mother to everybody but Attila the Hun,\"\" Getty said, and she wasn't far off: her list also included Cher (in the movie The Mask, 1985), Barry Manilow (Copacabana, 1985) and Sylvester Stallone (Stop!

"text": "He is a decent actor in my opinion, but not brilliant. His gift lies with the totality of the film. Warren Beatty knows how to make a fine movie. When he is given creative direction along with the ability to write and produce, his films are wonderful. He acts well in those films, but that is because they are crafted to what he can do. One example is the film Bulworth. Warren Beatty made that film when he was disgusted with the Clintons and felt the ideals of the Democratic Party had been betrayed. I show that film often to my students. It has stood the test of time. Sure, people enjoy Warren as the Senator who embraces plain speech and profanity when he thinks his life might be over."

It also caused major controversy by redefining violence in cinema and casting its criminal protagonists as sympathetic anti-heroes. Based loosely on the true exploits of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker during the 30s, the film begins as Clyde (Beatty) tries to steal the car of Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway)'s mother. Bonnie is excited by Clyde's outlaw demeanor, and he further stimulates her by robbing a store in her presence. Clyde steals a car, with Bonnie in tow, and their legendary crime spree begins. The two move from town to town, pulling off small heists, until they join up with Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman), his shrill wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons), and a slow-witted gas station attendant named C. W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard). The new gang robs a bank and Clyde is soon painted in the press as a Depression-era Robin Hood when he allows one bank customer to hold onto his money. Soon the police are on the gang's trail and they are constantly on the run, even kidnapping a Texas Ranger (Denver Pyle) and setting him adrift on a raft, handcuffed, after he spits in Bonnie's face when she kisses him."

Though the Court credited Gamble's complaint that doctors had failed to provide appropriate care, it held that medical malpractice did not rise to the level of \"\" cruel and unusual punishment \"\" simply because the victim is a prisoner.

On November 9, 1973, he injured his back when a cotton bale fell on him.

But what about Disney’s Animal Kingdom? This park, which receives the least amount of attention of the four parks during the day, shares this same fate in the evenings. Of course, this is mostly due to the fact that Disney’s Animal Kingdom so rarely has park hours that allow it to stay open beyond sunset. With animal experiences shuttering at dusk, that doesn’t leave a ton of other attractions to partake in. Walt Disney World realizes this and has adjusted hours accordingly, even removing evening Extra Magic Hours from the park in favor of an additional morning set during any given week. Of course, no matter how slim the hours of Disney’s Animal Kingdom are trimmed down to, there are still times the park can be experienced after dark, especially during the shortened days of winter."

"text": "Green Soap Benefits And Uses Estelle December 14, 2015Green Soap Benefits And Uses Natural Beauty Products No Comment In this article I would like to present you green soap, a soap that my grandmother used on my hair when I was a little girl. An excellent natural soap that has a lot of benefits for our skin and I believe we should all keep a bar somewhere in our bathroom. What is green soap and why is it green? Green soap, for those who do not know, is green, because of the color of olives. Olive oil whose extremely healing properties are known and usable since ancient times, is the basic and main ingredient of green soap. However, green soap can be produced by other plants as well maintaining the majority of the benefits of a naturally brewed product. The variety of olive oil uses and its disinfectant properties make it much more than a good nutrition ingredient and its use in the form of soap may look old-fashioned to many but has a great power. Apart from many women’s beauty secret it has a therapeutic effect against skin disorders such as psoriasis and dermatitis and its greatest advantage is the protection of the skin from dehydration and dryness. Here, then, are the reasons why you should try and use the green soap. Green Soap is highly moisturizing Green soap cleanses the skin, without depriving it of its natural fat components, something that other soaps do leading dry skin."

"text": "\"Related Articles How to Install a Dishwasher Sound Absorber How to Choose a Quiet Dishwasher How to Muffle a Dishwasher How to Choose an Over the Range Microwave Your dishwasher helps save time by tackling food-caked dishes and greasy pots and pans -- but a noisy dishwasher can disturb the peace in your kitchen and interfere with conversation, particularly in homes with open floor plans. Understanding the different ways manufacturers measure sound and how different sound levels can affect your life may help you compare the quietness of different dishwasher models. Decibels Many manufacturers publish decibel ratings for dishwashers to help consumers compare operating noise levels. Normal conversation measures about 60 decibels, and some of the quietest dishwashers on the market rank at 39 to 40 decibels. When comparing the quietness of dishwashers, keep in mind that decibels measure sound intensity, and a few points can make a big difference. An increase of one decibel means a sound increase of 30 percent, while an increase of 3 decibels means a doubling of sound level. A dishwasher rated at 56 decibels is four times as loud as one rated at 53, or twice as loud as one rated at 50. Sones While sone ratings are less common, you may find this measurement listed by some dishwasher manufacturers. Sones represent sound levels as perceived by a person, rather than sound intensity. \"\" This Old House\"\" reports that the quietest dishwashers on the market are rated at about 4 sones."

Also shown are the corresponding sound pressures and sound intensities with the absolutely necessary measuring of the distance. From these we can see that the decibel scale gives numbers in a much more manageable range. Sound pressure levels are measured without weighting filters. Avoid using the psychoacoustical terms loudness perception and volume. This subjective sound-sensation is not clearly measurable without ambiguity. The term \"\" loudness \"\" or \"\" volume \"\" is a problem because it belongs to psycho- acoustics and this personal feeling is not correct definable. Loudness as a psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude) is also affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency, bandwidth, spectral composition, information content, time structure, and the duration of exposure of the sound signal. The same sound will not create the same loudness perception by all individuals (people). As psycho-acoustic parameters to describe the \"\"loudness\"\" there is the \"\"loudness level\"\" with the unit phon and the \"\"loudness\"\" with the unit sone."

The decibel (symbol: d B) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale. It can be used to express a change in value (e.g., +1 d B or -1 d B) or an absolute value. In the latter case, it expresses the ratio of a value to a reference value; when used in this way, the decibel symbol should be appended with a suffix that indicates the reference value or some other property. For example, if the reference value is 1 volt, then the suffix is \"\" V \"\" (e.g, \"\"20 d BV\"\"), and if the reference value is one milliwatt, then the suffix is \"\" m \"\" (e.g., \"\"20 d Bm\"\"). [ 1]There are two different scales used when expressing a ratio in decibels depending on the nature of the quantities: field, power, and root-power. When expressing power quantities, the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. [ 2] That is, a change in power by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 10 d B change in level. When expressing field quantities, a change in amplitude by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 20 d B change in level. The extra factor of two is due to the logarithm of the quadratic relationship between power and amplitude."

As recently as 1970, 8 out of 10 American households got the job done the old-fashioned way: scrubbing with soap and sponge. Not so, of late. As of 2005, the latest available statistics tell us nearly 74 percent of U. S. households now have a dishwasher. A machine that does the dirty work once you rinse and load. OK, so maybe you don't even rinse. Call me persnickety. Because so many of us have delegated the dishes to the box beside the sink, and because those boxes -- a.k.a. dishwashers -- eventually go kaput, we thought you might want to know five things before trekking out to buy a new version of the machine that's all but shoved aside elbow grease and dishpan hands.

The higher the decibel level, the louder your machine will be when it's in use. Standard decibel levels of 51 and higher will project as much sound as a conversation between several people, so watching TV or post-dinner conversation can be difficult if you're running your dishwasher simultaneously. Quiet dishwashers have a decibel range between 46 and 50, and while you'll still be able to hear your dishwasher running, it'll be a less disruptive background noise.

"text": "Jeff Flowers on June 29, 2015 13 Comments When shopping for a new dishwasher, you may not realize the difference that a few decibels can make in terms of how loud your dishwasher is when you run a cycle. In fact, a low decibel rating is the most-requested features that people seek in a dishwasher. It makes sense, as nobody wants a loud appliance interrupting their family dinner. A noisy dishwasher isn’t just a nuisance that affects the kitchen, depending on its location it may be a disruptive distraction for many other day-to-day household activities. Waking up a sleeping baby or drowning out your favorite TV show are two scenarios that would likely play-out in my house, and depending on the layout of your home, you could probably think of a few situations where a loud dishwasher would be annoying. Before you buy a new dishwasher, let’s take a closer look at what a dishwasher “decibel rating” means and why you should be paying attention to it. What Is A Decibel? A decibel (d B) is a logarithmic unit that is used to describe levels of sound. Often decibels are measured as d BA units, which filter out higher and lower frequencies to be more representative of the way humans can hear. Using d BA units, sound monitors can accurately reflect what noise frequencies the human ear will be sensitive to."

In fact, to bring you up to speed on just how incredible your ears are, here are five facts you might not know: Your sense of hearing is dependent on tiny hairs inside your ears. You experience hearing loss when these hairs are damaged. The ears also contain the hardest bones in the human body. These are called the Temporal bones. The ears contain the three smallest bones in the human body.

But these days, a more fitting saying might be “If it’s too loud, you’re taking a big risk. ”The reason? Cranking up the volume on your i Pod, stereo, or other entertainment system to eardrum-thumping levels can lead to long-term hearing damage. Although there are many factors that can lead to a sudden or gradual loss of hearing—from injury to age—the most common is noise. And noise can include everything from loud, unwanted sounds around us to the music we enjoy every day. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) happens in a variety of ways. It can be sudden and instantaneous, such as when you are exposed to an extremely loud burst of sound—an explosion or an air horn, for example. Or it can happen gradually from working on a loud construction site or—in perhaps a more relevant example—frequently listening to loud music, either live or on an i Pod or other audio-playback system.

The decibel (symbol: d B) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale. It can be used to express a change in value (e.g., +1 d B or −1 d B) or an absolute value. In the latter case, it expresses the ratio of a value to a reference value; when used in this way, the decibel symbol should be appended with a suffix that indicates the reference value or some other property. For example, if the reference value is 1 volt, then the suffix is \"\" V \"\" (e.g, \"\"20 d BV\"\"), and if the reference value is one milliwatt, then the suffix is \"\" m \"\" (e.g., \"\"20 d Bm\"\"). [ 1]There are two different scales used when expressing a ratio in decibels depending on the nature of the quantities: field, power, and root-power. When expressing power quantities, the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. [ 2] That is, a change in power by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 10 d B change in level. When expressing field quantities, a change in amplitude by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 20 d B change in level. The extra factor of two is due to the logarithm of the quadratic relationship between power and amplitude."

Definition There are two general types of hearing loss: sensorineural (sometimes called perceptive) and conductive hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is hearing loss due to a defect in the cochlea or the auditory nerve whereby nerve impulses from the cochlea to the brain are attenuated. Conductive hearing loss means the partial or complete loss of hearing due to defective sound conduction of the external auditory canal or of the middle ear."

One receiver has 50 Watts-Per-Channel (WPC), another one has 75, and yet another has 100. The more watts the better right? Not Necessarily. Most people think that more watts mean more volume. An amplifier with 100 WPC is twice as loud as 50 WPC, right? Not exactly. Stated Power Ratings Can Be Deceiving When it comes to real amplifier power output, especially with surround sound receivers, a lot depends on how honestly the manufacturer determines the power output rating it chooses to promote.

Decibels (d B)The ear has the remarkable ability to handle an enormous range of sound levels. In order to express levels of sound meaningfully in numbers that are more manageable, a logarithmic scale is used, rather than a linear one. This scale is the decibel scale. What is a decibel? Zero decibels (0 d B) is the quietest sound audible to a healthy human ear. From there, every increase of 3 d B represents a doubling of sound intensity, or acoustic power. Loudness and Sound Intensity (Power)The relative loudness that we perceive is a subjective psychological phenomenon, not something that can be objectively measured. Most of us perceive one sound to be twice as loud as another one when they are about 10 d B apart; for instance, a 60-d B air conditioner will sound twice as loud as a 50-d B refrigerator. Yet that 10-d B difference represents a tenfold increase in intensity."

Dishwasher noise levels are rated in decibels, the lower the decibel number the quieter the dishwasher. A difference of just a few decibels may not seem to be much, but a dishwasher that is just one decibel more is actually 30 percent louder. A dishwasher that is four decibels more is twice as loud. However, buying a dishwasher at 44 DBs is quiet enough. You do not want to pay for just quietness under 44 DB (I will say this a few more times in this article). In this article, we will talk about levels of quietness, let you listen to two dishwashers at 45 and 55 DB, list the most popular dishwashers levels of quietness and then conclude on how to buy for quietness without breaking the bank.

"text": "What is noise-induced hearing loss? Every day, we experience sound in our environment, such as the sounds from television and radio, household appliances, and traffic. Normally, these sounds are at safe levels that don’t damage our hearing. But sounds can be harmful when they are too loud, even for a brief time, or when they are both loud and long-lasting. These sounds can damage sensitive structures in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL can be immediate or it can take a long time to be noticeable. It can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect one ear or both ears. Even if you can’t tell that you are damaging your hearing, you could have trouble hearing in the future, such as not being able to understand other people when they talk, especially on the phone or in a noisy room. Regardless of how it might affect you, one thing is certain: noise-induced hearing loss is something you can prevent. Who is affected by NIHL?"

Hyperacusis is a condition that arises from a problem in the way the brains central auditory processing center perceives noise. It can often lead to pain and discomfort. Individuals with hyperacusis have difficulty tolerating sounds which do not seem loud to others, such as the noise from running faucet water, riding in a car, walking on leaves, dishwasher, fan on the refrigerator, shuffling papers. Although all sounds may be perceived as too loud, high frequency sounds may be particularly troublesome. As one might suspect, the quality of life for individuals with hyperacusis can be greatly compromised. For those with a severe intolerance to sound, it is difficult and sometimes impossible to function in an every day environment with all its ambient noise. Hyperacusis can contribute to social isolation, phonophobia (fear of normal sounds), and depression. Prevalence And Causes Of Hyperacusis Many people experience sensitivity to sound, but true hyperacusis is rare, affecting approximately one in 50,000 individuals. The disorder can affect people of all ages in one or both ears."

By Corey Binns | August 24, 2010 01:00pm ETMORECredit: Grafoo | Dreamstime If you're listening to Katy Perry pop or The Red Hot Chili Peppers rock and have to raise your voice to be heard over the music, it's time to turn the volume down. Listening to loud music for too long can damage sensitive structures in the inner ear and lead to permanent hearing loss. Today, one in five American teens already have some hearing loss, according to a study in August 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. That's a 30 percent increase from 15 years ago. A person exposed to noise levels at 85 decibels or higher for a prolonged period of time is at risk for hearing loss. How loud is too loud? You shouldn't listen to music , or be exposed to any noise, at 85 decibels for more than 8 hours at a time, said Gordon Hughes, program officer of clinical trials at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). If you've got the volume cranked to 88 decibels, then cut your listening time down to 4 hours. At its loudest, an MP3 player pumps out 105 decibels that's100 times more intense than 85 decibels."

DEAR READER: An audiological evaluation identifies the severity of your hearing loss and the frequency range in which it occurs. This information may help identify the cause of your hearing loss. It’s also essential for determining whether you could benefit from a hearing aid and, if so, which style and type would help the most. When a sound wave enters your ear, it hits the eardrum. Several tiny bones transmit sound waves from the eardrum through fluid, into the inner ear. There lies a snail-shaped organ called the cochlea that is covered with tiny hairs. These hairs generate electrical signals that travel along the hearing nerve (the auditory nerve) to the brain. ("

Music that is played at an extremely high volume can be annoying to others, is considered by many to be disrespectful, and can sometimes be unlawful Loud music [1] is music that is played at a high volume, often to the point where it disturbs others and/or causes hearing damage. It may include music that is sung live with one or more voices, played with instruments, or broadcast with electronic media, such as radio, CD, or MP3 players. Playing loud music that can be heard from outside of the property from where it is being played (such as a house, apartment, hotel room, or motor vehicle) is considered to be rude by many people and societies. Among those opposed to the practice, it may result in the loss of respect and possible legal action. But in certain contained settings, such as clubs or concerts, music is often played very loudly, but is viewed as acceptable. Contents [ hide ]1 Consequences1.1 Criminal1.2 Civil1.3 Health1.4 Excessive drinking2 See also3 References Consequences [ edit]Criminal [ edit]See also: Disorderly conduct Many jurisdictions have laws defining loud music as a criminal offense, typically a misdemeanor.

Unless you want to be an audiologist, that is. If you want to be an audiologist, then instead of reading my web site, you need to enroll in a graduate program in audiology. Sound travels in waves. The human auditory system is well-adapted to detect sound waves in air, but to understand how sound waves work, it may be helpful to think of wave action in water, since that's something most of us have had a chance to watch with our eyes.

"text": "\"Regarding the issue of the health impactsof leaf blowers, consider that: The World Health Organization recommends noise levels of 55 decibels or less, 45 decibels to meet sleep criteria. A leaf blower generally measures at least 70-75 decibels at 50 feel away and far higher at close range. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that noise levels over 75 decibels can cause hearing loss and are harmful to human health. According to the California Air Resources Board the types of air pollutants emitted when using a gasoline-powered leaf blower for half an hour are equivalent to those emitted from 440 miles of automobile travel at 30mph average speed. Compared to an average large car, one hour of operation of a leaf blower emits 498 times as much hydrocarbons, 49 times as much particulate matter and 26 times as much carbon monoxide. A Grand Jury convened on the subject of leaf blowers in San Luis Obispo County, CA concluded that:\"\"Considering the evidence... the health hazards citizens are exposed to from two-cycle leaf blowers outweigh the possible benefit they provide .\"\" The Grand Jury went on to recommend that all cities within that county initiate a phase out of leaf blowers. Dr Barry Boyd, an oncologist at our own Greenwich Hospital, testified to the Town of Greenwich Board of Health in 2005 that: Air pollution connected with leaf blowers worries him. He believes gasoline powered engines are the reason CT is the number one state in the country in incidences of breast cancer. He stated that one leaf blower, in one hour, pollutes the same amount as 40 cars idling on a lawn. \"\""

[ 1] Caused by a wide range of biological and environmental factors, loss of hearing can happen to any organism that perceives sound. Sound waves vary in amplitude and in frequency. Amplitude is the sound wave's peak pressure variation. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of a sinusoidal component of a sound wave. Loss of the ability to detect some frequencies, or to detect low-amplitude sounds that an organism naturally detects, is a hearing impairment. They include: Autophony Hyperacusis Tinnitis Tullio phenomena Contents [ show]Loudness, frequency, and discrimination deficiencies Edit Hearing sensitivity is indicated by the quietest sound that an individual can detect, called the hearing threshold. In the case of people and some animals, this threshold can be accurately measured by a behavioral audiogram. A record is made of the quietest sound that consistently prompts a response from the listener. The test is carried out for sounds of different frequencies."

The difference between sound and noise depends upon the listener and the circumstances. Rock music can be pleasurable sound to one person and an annoying noise to another. In either case, it can be hazardous to a person's hearing if the sound is loud and if he or she is exposed long and often enough. Sound is produced by vibrating objects and reaches the listener's ears as waves in the air or other media. When an object vibrates, it causes slight changes in air pressure. These air pressure changes travel as waves through the air and produce sound. To illustrate, imagine striking a drum surface with a stick."

Share: FULL STORYProlonged exposure to loud noise alters how the brain processes speech, potentially increasing the difficulty in distinguishing speech sounds, according to neuroscientists at The University of Texas at Dallas. In a paper published this week in Ear and Hearing, researchers demonstrated for the first time how noise-induced hearing loss affects the brain's recognition of speech sounds. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) reaches all corners of the population, affecting an estimated 15 percent of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69, according to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Exposure to intensely loud sounds leads to permanent damage of the hair cells, which act as sound receivers in the ear. Once damaged, the hair cells do not grow back, leading to NIHL. \"\" As we have made machines and electronic devices more powerful, the potential to cause permanent damage has grown tremendously,\"\" said Dr. Michael Kilgard, co-author and Margaret Fonde Jonsson Professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. \"\" Even the smaller MP3 players can reach volume levels that are highly damaging to the ear in a matter of minutes. \"\""

"text": "\"What is sudden deafness? Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), commonly known as sudden deafness, occurs as an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing—usually in one ear—either at once or over several days. It should be considered a medical emergency. Anyone who experiences SSHL should visit a doctor immediately. Sometimes, people with SSHL put off seeing a doctor because they think their hearing loss is due to allergies, a sinus infection, earwax plugging the ear canal, or other common conditions. However, delaying SHHL diagnosis and treatment may decrease the effectiveness of treatment. Nine out of ten people with SSHL lose hearing in only one ear. SSHL is diagnosed by conducting a hearing test. If the test shows a loss of at least 30 decibels (decibels are a measure of sound) in three connected frequencies (frequency is a measure of pitch—high to low), the hearing loss is diagnosed as SSHL. As an example, a hearing loss of 30 decibels would make conversational speech sound more like a whisper."

The following are the general categories into which hearing loss falls: Otosclerosis - is a disease that causes bony growth on the ossicles and causes the stapes to become immobile, thus not allowing sound to be transferred into the cochlea. This is the result of a disease that affects the movement of the stapes, located in the middle ear. Meniere's disease - is a problem involving fluid pressure within the cochlea. It causes the sufferer to experience intermittent episodes of hearing loss, dizziness, and tinnitus. These episodes can occur anytime and for varying amounts of time. They are often associated with stress. Drug induced - some medications can result in damage to the auditory system with prolonged use. They are called ototoxic."

The decibel (symbol: d B) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale. It can be used to express a change in value (e.g., +1 d B or −1 d B) or an absolute value. In the latter case, it expresses the ratio of a value to a reference value; when used in this way, the decibel symbol should be appended with a suffix that indicates the reference value or some other property. For example, if the reference value is 1 volt, then the suffix is \"\" V \"\" (e.g, \"\"20 d BV\"\"), and if the reference value is one milliwatt, then the suffix is \"\" m \"\" (e.g., \"\"20 d Bm\"\"). [ 1]There are two different scales used when expressing a ratio in decibels depending on the nature of the quantities: field, power, and root-power. When expressing power quantities, the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. [ 2] That is, a change in power by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 10 d B change in level. When expressing field quantities, a change in amplitude by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 20 d B change in level. The extra factor of two is due to the logarithm of the quadratic relationship between power and amplitude."

Others have to speak loudly or shout to be heard, and this causes frustration, embarrassment and annoyance. It means that the TV has to be turned up loud and this can cause annoyance and arguments with others in the family, plus annoyance to neighbours. It also spoils enjoyment of music. Loud noise also causes permanent tinnitus, which is a ringing, buzzing or rushing sound in the ears that is always there and never goes away. Many people find this unpleasant and annoying.

"text": "\"Bookmark Glossary Terms By the 18 th century, dozens of different unitsof measurement were commonly used throughout the world. Length, for example, could be measured in feet, inches, miles, spans, cubits, hands, furlongs, palms, rods, chains, leagues, and more. The lack of common standards led to a lot of confusion and significant inefficiencies in trade between countries. At the end of the century, the French government sought to alleviate this problem by devising a system of measurement that could be used throughout the world. In 1790, the French National Assembly commissioned the Academy of Science to design a simple decimal-based system of units; the system they devised is known as the metric system. In 1960, the metric system was officially named the Système International d'Unités (or SI for short) and is now used in nearly every country in the world except the United States. The metric system is almost always used in scientific measurement. Metric system basics The simplicity of the metric systemstems from the fact that there is only one unit of measurement (or base unit) for each type of quantity measured (length, mass, etc.). The three most common base units in the metric system are the meter, gram, and liter. The meter is a unit of length equal to 3.28 feet; the gram is a unit of mass equal to approximately 0.0022 pounds (about the mass of a paper clip); and the liter is a unit of volume equal to 1.05 quarts."

"text": "\"Hexadecimals (number system) Number Systems Numbers (mathematics)What is hexadecimal?11 Answers Meher Joshi, Student Answered Mar 30, 2016 · Author has 74 answers and 82.1k answer views Originally Answered: What's hexadecimal? In mathematics and computing, hexadecimal (also base 16, or hex) is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0 – 9 to represent values zero to nine, and A , B , C , D , E , F (or alternatively a, b, c, d, e, f) to represent values ten to fifteen. Hexadecimal numerals are widely used by computer system designers and programmers. Several different notations are used to represent hexadecimal constants in computing languages; the prefix \"\"0x\"\" is widespread due to its use in Unix and C (and related operating systems and languages). Alternatively, some authors denote hexadecimal values using a suffix or subscript. For example, one could write 0x2AF3 or 2AF3 16, depending on the choice of notation. As an example, the hexadecimal number 2AF316 can be converted to an equivalent decimal representation. Observe that 2AF316 is equal to a sum of (200016+ A0016+ F016+ 316), by decomposing the numeral into a series of place value terms. Converting each term to decimal, one can further write: Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits ( bits ), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values in computing and digital electronics."

"text": "TAGS: #processing basics #rates and fees The term basis point is thrown around a lot in the credit card processing industry, but many sales people fail to realize that most people aren’t quite sure exactly what a basis point is, or what it means in terms of credit card processing fees. This article explains what a basis point is, how to calculate fees using basis points, and finally the role basis points play in credit card processing — specifically having to do with a processor’s markup. What is a basis point? A basis point is a unit of measurement that is equal to 1/100 of one percent, or 0.01%. A basis point expressed numerically as a decimal is equal to 0.0001. Basis points are often abbreviated as simply “bp,” which is pronounced as “bip,” and more than one basis point is abbreviated a “bps,” pronounced as “bips.” For example, people will often say “thirty bips” instead of “thirty basis points. ”The term basis point is particularly common in financial fields where small percentages often play a role in fees or charges, such as in credit card processing. With credit card processing, basis points are most often used to refer to a processor’s markup on an interchange plus pricing model. In fact, we’ve posted a table that shows the decimal and percentage representation of five through one hundred basis points in our article about whether a certain basis point markup is competitive."

"text": "UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States was further isolated on Monday over President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital when it blocked a United Nations Security Council call for the declaration to be withdrawn. The remaining 14 council members voted in favor of the Egyptian-drafted resolution, which did not specifically mention the United States or Trump but which expressed “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem. ”“What we witnessed here in the Security Council is an insult. It won’t be forgotten,” U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said after the vote, adding that it was the first veto cast by the United States in more than six years. Related Coverage Turkey says regrets to see veto of U. N. resolution on Jerusalem Erdogan, May say international community should be active in solving Jerusalem issue - Turkish sources“The fact that this veto is being done in defense of American sovereignty and in defense of America’s role in the Middle East peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us; it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the Security Council,” Haley said. The U. N. draft resolution affirmed “that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council. ”Trump abruptly reversed decades of U. S. policy this month when he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, generating outrage from Palestinians and the Arab world and concern among Washington’s western allies. “In the wake of the decision of the United States ... the situation has become more tense with an increase in incidents, notably rockets fired from Gaza and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces,” U. N. Middle East peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov told the Security Council ahead of the vote. EMERGENCY GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSIONTrump also plans to move the U. S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

Photograph: Loey Felipe/AFP/Getty The United States has warned that Russia’s continued blanket use of its UN veto will jeopardise the security council’s long-term legitimacy and could lead the US and like-minded countries to bypass it as a decision-making body. The warning comes as the UN reaches its 70 th anniversary and the security council faces a crisis caused by its paralysis over Syria. It has failed to agree concerted action to try to stem the bloodshed, even after more than 220,000 Syrians have died and more than 11 million have been forced from their homes. Vetoed! What's wrong with the UN security council – and how it could do better Read more Russia has used its veto powers four times to block resolutions on Syria that Moscow sees as damaging to its ally, the regime of Bashar al-Assad. It has also forestalled common action on Ukraine where it is a party to the conflict, having annexed Crimea and pursued a covert military campaign in support of eastern separatists. Samantha Power, the US permanent representative to the UN, said that the US and other countries had increasingly been going elsewhere to have atrocities investigated, and that a “forum-shopping” trend was likely to continue. “It’s a Darwinian universe here.

The successor to the League of Nations, the United Nations stems from the 1941 Inter-Allied Declaration signed by representatives of 14 countries (notincluding the United States) and the Atlantic Charter signed by President franklin d. roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom. In 1942, 26 countries met in Washington,D. C., and signed the Declaration by United Nations in a cooperative effort to triumph over Germandictator Adolf Hitler during World War II. In addition, wartime conferences in Moscow, Tehran,Yalta, and Washington, D. C. (at the Dumbarton Oaks estate in Georgetown), laid the foundation of the future organization. On June 25, 1945, delegates from 50 nations met in San Francisco andunanimously adopted the Charter of the United Nations. By October 24, 1945, China, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and a majority of the charter's othersignatories had ratified it, and the United Nations was officially established. Shortly thereafter the U. S. Congress unanimously invited the United Nations to set up headquarters in the United States,and the organization chose New York City as its permanent home.

"text": "\"Internationalism Warren F. Kuehl and Gary B. Ostrower Internationalism in American foreign policy has had different meanings for nearly every generation of citizens and diplomats. It has been associated with all forms of external contact with the world, the relationships becoming more extensive and political with the passage of time. As a foreign policy, it has usually been viewed as the antithesis of isolationism, and in that sense it has involved political commitments or \"\"entanglements\"\" through multinational treaties as well as membership in international organizations. In a broader context, it has also encompassed official and unofficial nonpolitical activities — economic, social, cultural, and scientific — usually evidenced through affiliation with specialized international societies or agencies. Some internationalists have thought in terms of a universal community, a broad brotherhood of people with common concerns, needs, and aspirations that exists as a reality beyond the confines of nation-states. In recent times, internationalism has taken on a new meaning under a doctrine of responsibility, with the United States assuming the burden of \"\"policeman of the world,\"\" both unilaterally and multilaterally. THE EARLY YEARSLong before isolationism became an established policy in the nineteenth century, citizens of the American colonies recognized that they could not live apart from the rest of the world. They existed within an imperial system that involved them in numerous crises and four world wars (Queen Anne's War, King William's War, King George's War, and the French and Indian War), mostly related to trade and territories. Early Americans understood that international law applied to them as they redefined their relationships toward their neighbors and their mother country. William Penn reflected the cosmopolitan atmosphere when he drafted his Essay Towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe (1693), in which he called for a congress of states to promote stability."

Pertinent to its background is an early 20th century multifaceted dispute and armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the newly gained independence of the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Since then, it has been an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations. The dispute arises from the ambiguity in nomenclature between the Republic of Macedonia, the adjacent Greek region of Macedonia and the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon (which falls mostly within Greek Macedonia). Citing historical and irredentist concerns, Greece opposes the use of the name \"\"Macedonia\"\" by the Republic of Macedonia without a geographical qualifier such as \"\"Northern Macedonia\"\" for use \"\"by all and for all purposes\"\". [ 1] As millions of ethnic Greeks identify themselves as Macedonians, unrelated to the Slavic people who are associated with the Republic of Macedonia, Greece further objects to the use of the term \"\"Macedonian\"\" for the neighboring country's largest ethnic group and its language. The Republic of Macedonia is accused of appropriating symbols and figures that are historically considered part of Greek culture such as the Vergina Sun and Alexander the Great, and of promoting the irredentist concept of a United Macedonia, which involves territorial claims on Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, and Serbia."

In addition to maintaining peace and security, other important objectives include developing friendly relations among countries based on respect for the principles of equal rights and self-determination of peoples; achieving worldwide cooperation to solve international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems; respecting and promoting human rights; and serving as a centre where countries can coordinate their actions and activities toward these various ends.

"text": "Arms Control, Disarmament and Collective Security TYBA/PVI/Module 3.2 Approaches to Peace I Arms Control The term refers to any international control or limitations on weapons to reduce possibility of or limit destructiveness of war. It is a formal agreement to regulate weapons, chiefly nuclear weapons acquisition between two countries. Such treaties are mainly bilateral and are either of a limited term or for an indefinite period. Arms control is a result of disarmament efforts. As complete reduction of military capabilities is impossible in the present international system, countries, especially nuclear powers resort to arms control measures to reduce the possibility of war. The massive destruction caused during WWII and later in Cold War period, and resultant threat of mutually assured destruction (MAD) led to arms control measures between US and SU. International efforts for nuclear arms control were seen in the establishment of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The autonomous agency formed to promote peaceful use of nuclear technology and prevent its military use. However the Cold War triggered an arms race between the super powers that made international efforts for peace ineffective. It was after the Cuban missile crisis, that the threat of nuclear war led to agreements for arms control."

The United States refused to participate in the proceedings after the Court rejected its argument that the ICJ lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The U.

Collective security is more ambitious than systems of alliance security or collective defense in that it seeks to encompass the totality of states within a region or indeed globally, and to address a wide range of possible threats. While collective security is an idea with a long history, its implementation in practice has proved problematic. Several prerequisites have to be met for it to have a chance of working.

International Law The body of law that governs the legal relations between or among states or nations. To qualify as a subject under the traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government, and the ability to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not consideredsubjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligationsunder international law. A more contemporary definition expands the traditional notions of international law to confer rightsand obligations on intergovernmental international organizations and even on individuals. The United Nations, for example, is an international organization that has the capacity to engage in treatyrelations governed by and binding under international law with states and other internationalorganizations. Individual responsibility under international law is particularly significant in the context of prosecuting war criminals and the development of international Human Rights. Sources of International Law The International Court of Justice (ICJ) was established in 1945 as the successor to the Permanent International Court of Justice (PICJ), which was created in 1920 under the supervision of the League of Nations (the precursor to the United Nations).

"text": "The impetus to establish the United Nations stemmed in large part from the inability of its predecessor, the League of Nations, to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War . Despite Germany’s occupation of a number of European states, and the League’s failure to stop other serious international transgressions in the 1930s, such as Japan’s invasion of Manchuria, many international leaders remained committed to the League’s ideals. Once World War II began, President Franklin D. Roosevelt determined that U. S. leadership was essential for the creation of another international organization aimed at preserving peace, and his administration engaged in international diplomacy in pursuit of that goal. He also worked to build domestic support for the concept of the United Nations. After Roosevelt’s death, President Harry S. Truman also assumed the important task of maintaining support for the United Nations and worked through complicated international problems, particularly with the Soviet Union, to make the founding of the new organization possible. After nearly four years of planning, the international community finally established the United Nations in the spring of 1945.- Origins of the UN - Proposing the UN Concept - Creation of the UN - Early Challenges & Future Changes Origins of the United Nations The concept of creating a global organization of member states dedicated to preserving international peace through collective security increased in popularity during World War I. The bloodshed of the “Great War” persuaded President Woodrow Wilson, and a number of other American and international leaders, to seek the creation of an international forum in which conflicts could be resolved peacefully. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, which Wilson negotiated on behalf of the United States, contained a framework for a League of Nations, intended to maintain peace and stability. However, despite Wilson’s efforts to gain the domestic support of political leaders and the American public, he was unable to convince the United States Senate to approve U. S. membership in the League. This was due to strong isolationist sentiment and partisan conflicts, stemming in part from his failure to include any prominent Republicans in the peace negotiations. The League’s opponents criticized it as a threat to American sovereignty and security, and objected most stridently to Article Ten of the League Charter, which committed member states to protect the territorial integrity of all other member states against external aggression."

One of the victorious Allies of the Second World War (locally known as the Second Sino-Japanese War ), the Republic of China (ROC) joined the UN at its founding in 1945. The subsequent resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. Nearly all of mainland China was soon under its control [a] and the ROC fled to the island of Taiwan. The One-China policy advocated by both governments precluded dual representation but, amid the Cold and Korean wars, the United States and its allies opposed the replacement of the ROC at the United Nations, although they were persuaded to pressure the government of the ROC to accept international recognition of Mongolia 's independence in 1961. The United Kingdom, France, and other American allies individually shifted their recognitions of China to the PRC and Albania brought annual votes to replace the ROC with the PRC, but these were defeated since—after General Assembly Resolution 1668 —a change in recognition required a two-thirds vote. Amid the Sino-Soviet split and Vietnam War, American President Nixon entered into negotiations with Communist Chairman Mao, initially through a secret 1971 trip undertaken by Henry Kissinger to visit Zhou Enlai. On 25 October 1971, Albania's motion to recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole legal China was passed as General Assembly Resolution 2758.

At this Yalta Conference, the three leaders made a number of important decisions about the future. They agreed to move ahead in creating a new international peacemaking body, the UN, based on the principles of Atlantic charter. Stalin promised to enter the war against Japan after the surrender of Germany. He also promised free and unfettered elections in Poland and in other Soviet occupied Eastern European countries. They agreed on a charter. The charter created the general assembly, which was made up of all member nations and was expected to function as a town meeting of the world. The charter also set up administrative, judicial, and economic governing bodies. The Yalta Conference also displayed the deterioration in relations between the big powers. Roosevelt of America had died, to be replaced by strongly anti-communist Truman."

The conference convened near Yalta in Crimea, Soviet Union within the Livadia, Yusupov, and Vorontsov Palaces. The aim of the conference [1] was to shape a post-war peace that represented not just a collective security order but a plan to give self-determination to the liberated peoples of post-Nazi Europe. The meeting was intended mainly to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe. However within a few short years, with the Cold War dividing the continent, Yalta became a subject of intense controversy. Yalta was the second of three major wartime conferences among the Big Three. It was preceded by the Tehran Conference in November 1943, and was followed by the Potsdam Conference in July 1945."

FDR, as he was called, served during the worst times in the history of the United States, including the Great Depression and World War II. Born January 30, 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, his uncle was the former President, Theodore Roosevelt. His mother, Sarah Delano, was his father's second wife, and she could trace her ancestry back to the Plymouth Colony. As the only son of a wealthy family, Franklin first attended the prestigious Groton School, where his sense of social responsibility was formed, and then went on to Harvard. He was only an average student, but during his senior year was the editor of the elite Harvard Crimson (the student paper). He graduated in 1903 and went on to Columbia Law School (1904-07), but he dropped out upon his admission to the New York State Bar Association in 1907. On March 27, 1905, he had married Eleanor Roosevelt, a distant cousin. As a young woman, Eleanor was shy, but she grew into one of the most prominent first ladies of this nation.

The atomic bomb would cause the final casualties of World War II. Some claim the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan by the United States were unnecessary and caused too much destruction and death, but, truly, the atomic bombs were a necessary show of force that caused Japan to surrender. If the atomic bombs had not been dropped on Japan, it is likely that Japan would not have surrendered until almost every Japanese citizen who was fit to fight was dead. Thus, World War II would have lasted much longer with many more deaths. The original United States plan to end the war was for the United States to invade Japan by bringing in ground troops by sea.

The delegations were headed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, respectively. Overview The key Allied leaders, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, were known as the \"\"Big Three\"\" because of the might of the nations they represented and their peaceful collaboration during World War II. These three leaders met together only twice during World War II, but when they did conference, their decisions changed the course of history. After the Tehran Conference, the three leaders promised to meet again, and this agreement came to pass at the Yalta Conference of February 1945. Although Stalin had expressed concern about Roosevelt's health during the Teheran conference, this concern did not translate into action. The Soviet dictator refused to travel further than the Black Sea Resort, Yalta, in the Crimean Riveria (then part of the Soviet Union, now part of Ukraine) for the next summit and, once again, Churchill and Roosevelt were both the ones taking long and tiring trips to attend the Yalta summit. Each of the three powers brought their own agenda to the Yalta Conference. The British wanted to maintain their empire, the Soviets wished to obtain more land and to strengthen conquests, and the Americans wanted to insure the Soviet's entry into the Pacific war and discuss postwar settlement. Moreover, Roosevelt hoped to obtain a commitment from Stalin to participate in the United Nations."

Modern Germany was formed in 1871 when Otto von Bismarckunified most of the German states, with the notable exception of Austria, into the German Empire. [ 1] After the First World War Germany lost about 10% of its territory to its neighbours and the Weimar Republic was formed. This republic included territories to the east of today's German borders. The period of Nazi rule from the 1930s through the end of the Second World War brought significant territorial losses for the country. Nazi Germany initially expanded the country's territory dramatically and conquered most of Europe, though not all areas were added to Germany proper. The Nazis' fortunes changed after the failure of the invasion of Soviet Union. The Nazi regime eventually collapsed, and the Allies occupied Germany. Immediately after the war, all territorial gains were reversed and pre-war Germany was split into British, French and American occupation zones in the northwest, west and south and a Soviet occupation zone in the centre; the capital Berlin was similarly divided into four sectors. The former eastern territories of Germany were ceded to Poland and the Soviet Union and the Oder and Neisse Rivers became Germany's new eastern boundary."

"text": "Historical Background Office of the Historian Bureau of Public Affairs The United States and the Founding of the United Nations, August 1941 - October 1945The impetus to establish the United Nations stemmed in large part from the inability of its predecessor, the League of Nations, to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. Despite Germany’s occupation of a number of European states, and the League’s failure to stop other serious international transgressions in the 1930s, such as Japan’s invasion of Manchuria, many international leaders remained committed to the League’s ideals. Once World War II began, President Franklin D. Roosevelt determined that U. S. leadership was essential for the creation of another international organization aimed at preserving peace, and his administration engaged in international diplomacy in pursuit of that goal. He also worked to build domestic support for the concept of the United Nations. After Roosevelt’s death, President Harry S Truman also assumed the important task of maintaining support for the United Nations and worked through complicated international problems, particularly with the Soviet Union, to make the founding of the new organization possible. After nearly four years of planning, the international community finally established the United Nations in the spring of 1945. Origins of the United Nations The concept of creating a global organization of member states dedicated to preserving international peace through collective security increased in popularity during World War I. The bloodshed of the “Great War” persuaded President Woodrow Wilson, and a number of other American and international leaders, to seek the creation of an international forum in which conflicts could be resolved peacefully. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, which Wilson negotiated on behalf of the United States, contained a framework for a League of Nations, intended to maintain peace and stability. However, despite Wilson’s efforts to gain the domestic support of political leaders and the American public, he was unable to convince the United States Senate to approve U. S. membership in the League. This was due to strong isolationist sentiment and partisan conflicts, stemming in part from his failure to include any prominent Republicans in the peace negotiations."

"text": "Alternative Title: Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill Winston Churchill, in full Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, (born November 30, 1874, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, England—died January 24, 1965, London), British statesman, orator, and author who as prime minister (1940–45, 1951–55) rallied the British people during World War II and led his country from the brink of defeat to victory. After a sensational rise to prominence in national politics before World War I, Churchill acquired a reputation for erratic judgment in the war itself and in the decade that followed. Politically suspect in consequence, he was a lonely figure until his response to Adolf Hitler’s challenge brought him to leadership of a national coalition in 1940. With Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin he then shaped Allied strategy in World War II, and after the breakdown of the alliance he alerted the West to the expansionist threat of the Soviet Union. He led the Conservative Party back to office in 1951 and remained prime minister until 1955, when ill health forced his resignation. In Churchill’s veins ran the blood of both of the English-speaking peoples whose unity, in peace and war, it was to be a constant purpose of his to promote. Through his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, the meteoric Tory politician, he was directly descended from John Churchill, 1st duke of Marlborough, the hero of the wars against Louis XIV of France in the early 18th century. His mother, Jennie Jerome, a noted beauty, was the daughter of a New York financier and horse racing enthusiast, Leonard W. Jerome. The young Churchill passed an unhappy and sadly neglected childhood, redeemed only by the affection of Mrs. Everest, his devoted nurse. At Harrow his conspicuously poor academic record seemingly justified his father’s decision to enter him into an army career."

S. Coast Guard said Monday. Leaking oil hit a hot surface, starting the fire, said Teresa Hatfield, the lead investigator for the Coast Guard. Hatfield said there was no indication the leak in a flexible hose section was intentional. \"\" Fire suppression was immediately activated by the crew, first by waterfog and then by (carbon dioxide). They did a very good job,\"\" Hatfield said. \"\" We are looking at the cause of the fire and why the ship was disabled for so long, and we are also looking at the crew response to the fire as well. \"\" Hatfield said the investigation will last for several months.

They now sport a cleaner, slicker look that makes it much easier for passengers to read. What Has Carnival Cruise Line Changed? The arrival appointment time indicates the window of time during which the guest should be at the pier. And to make sure it’s easily spotted, that section of the boarding pass is printed in big, bold letters and numbers against a blue background. Arrival times are assigned to help control capacity at the port, thus assuring a smooth flow of passengers and (hopefully) avoiding the kind of long waits which lead to frustration on the part of everyone. Likewise, the Final Boarding time is printed in unmissable fonts, this time against a red backdrop. This is definitely important, as the “Final Boarding” time isn’t simply a suggestion. Arrive after that time, and there’s a good chance you won’t be permitted to board the ship… assuming it didn’t already leave without you!Stateroom information is featured, including what deck your stateroom can be located on. The boarding pass will now also indicate each passenger’s muster station."

"text": "Travel Tips Cruise Spending Money, How Much Should I Bring? Published5 years agoon August 9, 2013By Doug Parker0 1 0 1 12Subscribe to Cruise Radio News by Email The question I’m always asked: How much money should I bring on my cruise? Personally I always prepay my gratuities, shore excursions and pre-order alcohol, which cuts out on expenses. I figure the more I pre-pay, the less out of pocket when I am ready to set sail. Cruise spending money factors to consider:1. Drinking. Depending on how much you drink on vacation depends on how much money you should put into the daily budget. Lets just say every drink costs $8, if you’re good for five drinks a day, consider $40 per person. Tip: Pre-order your alcohol with the cruise lines bon voyage packages. It’s more expensive than the liquor store but cheaper than per-drink.2."

Seth Younes died on the last night of a Carnival Cruise in the early house of Tuesday morning Initial reports have speculated that Seth Younes, from New York, died after becoming extremely drunk on the last night of the eight day cruise, although where and how he began drinking is not yet clear. A Carnival Cruise Lines spokesman confirmed that Younes died on board one of their vessels at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday but denied that he was served alcohol by any staff member of the embattled firm. In an emailed statement to The Saratogian, Vance Gulliksen said the cause of Younes’ death has not yet been determined, but 'with regard to speculation that he may have died from alcohol poisoning, we can confirm that, based on the preliminary investigation, there is no indication he was served any alcohol by shipboard personnel. ' The New York City Medical Examiner's Office have said that the teens autopsy had proved inconclusive and that further testing including toxicology was required. And the FBI have confirmed that they are investigating the tragic death to determine whether a crime was committed and if so, by whom. Younes was on the eight-day cruise with his family, which departed New York February on 18th bound for the Bahamas and died in his cabin according to Gullisken. An individual posting on the Cruise Critic forum online claiming to be related to Younes has said that the boy was intoxicated prior to his death.

O. to launch short trips BY TED GRIGGS [email protected] Mar 21, 2015 - 1:42 pm ( …)Photo provided by CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES -- The Carnival Triumph will return to New Orleans in April 2016. Officials with the cruise line announced Monday that the 2,758 passenger ship will replace the smaller Carnival Elation next year, offering four- and five-day trips to Mexico. It will join the Carnival Dream in sailing out of New Orleans. Photo from Carnival Cruise Line -- Carnival Triumph Carnival Cruise Lines announced Monday that it is increasing its cruise capacity in New Orleans by replacing the smaller Carnival Elation ship with the Carnival Triumph. Carnival Triumph will shift from Galveston to New Orleans to launch year-round four- and five-day cruises to Mexico beginning April 4, 2016. On this route, four-day “long weekend” cruises depart Thursdays and call at Cozumel while five-day cruises depart Mondays and Saturdays and visit Cozumel and Progreso. Carnival Triumph will join Carnival Dream which operates year-round seven-day cruises from New Orleans. Together these two ships are expected to carry 450,000 guests annually from New Orleans. Carnival Triumph became somewhat notorious in February of 2013, when it lost power in an engine-room fire some 150 miles off Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. While the fire was extinguished quickly and no one was injured, loss of power made for five days of misery for the ship’s 4,200 passengers, who endured overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors before the ship could be towed to Mobile, Ala. Recently, Carnival Triumph has undergone an extensive dry dock that added such amenities as Guy’s Burger Joint, developed in tandem with Food Network star Guy Fieri, poolside watering holes Blue Iguana Tequila Bar and Red Frog Rum Bar, the Blue Iguana Cantina Mexican eatery, cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, and Cherry On Top, a “candy and more” store."

"text": "\"Cruise Ship Refurbishment Schedule Rating: 4 of 5 stars By Chavdar Chanev , November 26, 2015 , Ships and Lines This is Cruise Mapper's cruise ship refurbishments schedule of dry-dock dates, news and information on deck plan changes during vessel refits, regular maintenance and repairs, overhauls and renovation of small and big passenger cruise ships. Cruise ship refurbishment tends to be the best value-for-money strategy and a highly successful policy for major cruise line companies in a time of world-wide economic uncertainty. For your convenience, this link goes directly to the list of all cruise line refurbishments 2017-2018 schedule. To read more cruise ship technology news, please visit our engines-propulsion-fuel survey. The cruise ship drydock (vessel refit and onboard refurbishments) is a market with annual value at around USD 3 billion. Based on the total number of cruise vessels, the average drydock stay cost per vessel could be between USD 2-3 million per day (spending in drydock facilities worldwide). Cruise ship refurbishments, renovations, refits If you take a look at the list of all ; new cruise vessels under construction or on order, you'll see a very small number of passenger ships being built in the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. And the majority of those will join the largest ever fleets owned by the world's biggest companies - Carnival and Royal Caribbean International, and their bigger subsidiaries/brands. Why cruise ships are being refurbished? Time is money - while a cruise ship overhaul takes from 15-days to a month, to built a new cruise ship (from design to launch) takes about 3 years (depending on its size, special features, owner, etc)."

"text": "Carnival Cruise Spirit sailing through Lynn Canal at sunset, near Haines, Inside Passage, Southeast Alaska, Summer Alaska Stock—Alamy June 26, 2014This week, the Tampa Bay Times noted that travelers accustomed to easily snagging last-minute cruise bargains are in for a rude awakening: “The super-cheap deals to the islands might be starting to dry up. ”In fact, the amazing last-minute deals that popped up a year or so ago (think: $149 for a four-night cruise) are gone, perhaps for good. The Tampa Bay Times’ warning was issued in reaction to the better-than-expected second quarter earnings report from Carnival Corp., the world’s largest cruise company, which operates brands such as Costa, Cunard, Holland America, and, of course, Carnival itself. “ It feels like we’ve turned a bit of a corner,” CEO Arnold Donald told analysts during a conference call about the report. And just in time: For quite a while, Carnival’s reputation seemed like it would never stop sinking. The so-called “poop cruise” episode of early 2013, in which passengers on the Carnival Triumph were left stranded for five days without fully functional toilets, killed demand across the cruise industry for a spell. That and a few other ugly cruise ship incidents helped spur on a long period of heavy discounting to draw travelers back to the sea. The discounts were especially significant for passengers booking at the last minute, and for Carnival brand sailings in particular. Carnival cruise deals in the Caribbean averaging out to under $50 per day became regular sightings for much of 2013. The rough year coincided with a change in leadership at Carnival, with new CEO Donald given the responsibility of righting the ship."

"text": "Answer by Phoenix Sage Confidence votes 18.5KCommunity Manager - Staance The United States Declaration of Independence is a very important thing in the history of the United States of America. It is a paper which said that the United States is a country not ruled by Great Britain. American people wrote the Declaration in the year 1776. In the 18th century (1700s), the United States of America was not a country. It was a colony of Great Britain. This means that the country of Great Britain ruled the United States. All American people had to do what the King of Great Britain said. During this time, many American people were angry at the King of Great Britain. They did not want their land to be a colony. They wanted America to be a country, so all American people could do what they wanted to do instead of what the King wanted them to do."

"text": "By Contributor The Reverend We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration he owned hundreds of slaves. Upon Jefferson’s death, the only slaves given their freedom in the former president’s will were two of the sons of Sally Hemmings, Jefferson’s black slave mistress. What, then, did the words “all men are created equal” really mean to Jefferson? Obviously, the word “men” meant ‘white men.’ Voting rights at the time make clear what the words “all men are created equal” really meant in practice …..1776 – White men with property can vote. Free black men can vote in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. ( The Progress Report adds — in Maryland between 1776-1783 free black men could vote, but between 1783-1810 only those who were freed prior to 1783 were permitted to vote, and after 1810 no black men at all were allowed to vote. ) In 1789, when the Constitution was ratified and the United States democracy experiment began, “all men are created equal” played out this way….1789 – Establishment of US democracy. White men with property can vote."

At the National Constitution Center, you will find rare copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. These are the three most important documents in American history. But why are they important, and what are their similarities and differences? And how did each document, in turn, influence the next in America’s ongoing quest for liberty and equality? There are some clear similarities among the three documents. All have preambles. All were drafted by people of similar backgrounds, generally educated white men of property."

"text": "Why did Jefferson draft the Declaration of Independence? April 13, 2015 by Jeffrey Rosen and David Rubenstein As we celebrate the 272nd birthday of Thomas Jefferson, this excerpt from Jeffrey Rosen and David Rubenstein's pamphlet about the “Constituting Liberty” exhibition puts the Declaration of Independence in context. When the Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in 1775, it was far from clear that the delegates would pass a resolution to separate from Great Britain. To persuade them, someone needed to articulate why the Americans were breaking away. Congress formed a committee to do just that; members included John Adams from Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin from Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman from Connecticut, Roger Livingston from New York, and Thomas Jefferson from Virginia, who at age 33 was one of the youngest delegates. Although Jefferson disputed his account, John Adams later recalled that he had persuaded Jefferson to write the draft because Jefferson had the fewest enemies in Congress and was the best writer. ( Jefferson would have gotten the job anyway—he was elected chair of the committee.) Jefferson had 17 days to produce the document and reportedly wrote a draft in a day or two. In a rented room not far from the State House, he wrote the Declaration with few books and pamphlets beside him, except for a copy of George Mason’s Virginia Declaration of Rights and the draft Virginia Constitution, which Jefferson had written himself. The Declaration of Independence has three parts."

There were two other members of the \"\"Committee of Five\"\" but there is no historical evidence to show what, if any input they might have had. It was then submitted to Congress. Refer to Original Rough Draught of the Declaration of Independence 1The original version as written by Jefferson no longer exists but has been reconstructed from various copies that do exist as follows with regards to the topic: We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and unalienables, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; . . . 2In the Adams copy, written, sometime between June 11 and June 28, in his own (J. Adams) handwriting we have the following: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and unalienables, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; . . . 3Sometime later, but before being submitted to Congress, the above was changed to the following: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. . . . 4Though many other changes were made in the rest of the document, Congress accepted those lines for the finished Declaration. The mystery, if there is a mystery pertains to the change from this \"\"We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable, that all men are created equal and independent;. . . \"\" to this \"\"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,. . . \"\""

Constitution Bill of Rights Freedom George Mason: Father of the Bill of Rights Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution might have restrained nothingby Raymond Polin Dr. Polin is Professor of Government and Politics in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of St. John’s University (New York). His latest work, Modern Government and Constitutionalism (Chicago: Nelson-Hall, 1979), includes attention to concepts of limited government and stability, his principal area of academic interest. His current research deals with the roots of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson has been justly honored, in the main, as the author of the Declaration of Independence, one of three accomplishments that he chose to be inscribed on his tombstone: “Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. ”It is indicative of the priority of values held by Jefferson that he asked to be remembered in finality by a legacy of principles of freedom and an institution of higher education. No mention was made by him that he had attained the very highest political offices of his state and nation: Governor of Virginia, Secretary of State of the United States, and successively Vice-President and President of the United States. But how much credit is justly due Jefferson for composing the Declaration? How original and how complete was his authorship of this document? Did he create or invent it, or did he copy, recall, or borrow in good part? Jefferson’s role as the author of the Declaration seems securely established and likely to endure."

"text": "\"The Declaration of Independence: A History Nations come into being in many ways. Military rebellion, civil strife, acts of heroism, acts of treachery, a thousand greater and lesser clashes between defenders of the old order and supporters of the new--all these occurrences and more have marked the emergences of new nations, large and small. The birth of our own nation included them all. That birth was unique, not only in the immensity of its later impact on the course of world history and the growth of democracy, but also because so many of the threads in our national history run back through time to come together in one place, in one time, and in one document: the Declaration of Independence. Moving Toward Independence The clearest call for independence up to the summer of 1776 came in Philadelphia on June 7. On that date in session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), the Continental Congress heard Richard Henry Lee of Virginia read his resolution beginning: \"\"Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. \"\" The Lee Resolution was an expression of what was already beginning to happen throughout the colonies. When the Second Continental Congress, which was essentially the government of the United States from 1775 to 1788, first met in May 1775, King George III had not replied to the petition for redress of grievances that he had been sent by the First Continental Congress. The Congress gradually took on the responsibilities of a national government. In June 1775 the Congress established the Continental Army as well as a continental currency."

"text": "\"THE INFLUENCE OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE THROUGH HISTORY: How American Politicians, And The Supreme Court, Have Invoked It By IAN MYLCHREESTThursday, Jul. 04, 2002The Declaration of Independence does not create individual rights, as the Constitution does. Indeed, it technically has no legal effect. But that has not stopped American presidents and civil rights leaders from invoking it throughout our history - and what the Declaration lacks in legal force, it makes up in persuasive force. On this Independence Day, we should look back to see how the Declaration that first proclaimed our freedom has changed over the course of our nation's existence. The Declaration's most famous sentence is, of course, this one: \"\"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. \"\" But what does it mean to invoke \"\"liberty\"\" or \"\"the pursuit of happiness,\"\" or to say that \"\"all men are created equal\"\"? Over our history, different speakers have argued for different meanings of these words, and there can be little question that, for all of us, they have dramatically changed in meaning since 1776. As voluble as their meanings may be, however, these words remain durable. That may, in part, be because, while most other nations also have foundation myths and national heroes, our Founders were not only war heroes or colonial liberators. In addition, they invented the core truths that underlie our politics - truths expressed in the Declaration and the Constitution."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Why was signing the Declaration of Independence an act of Treason?2 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If anyone had signed it they were considered traitors to King and Country (the british). That meant they were declaring that they were for the new America and not Britain. Britain saw this as treason becuz they viewed them as traitors. Basically by signing it you were pledging yourself to the independant colonies who wanted to pull from the power of Britain. Source (s): History EL TORO PARA JESUS · 8 years ago4 0 Comment Asker's rating The signers were openly saying they planned to break away from their parent nation whether Britain would allow it or not. The American Revolution was already on, but the Continental Congress had been trying to diplomatically resolve the crisis so there would be no need to break away from Britain. Believe it or not, most of the leaders of the colonies weren't interested in breaking away from the mother country unless they had absolutely no recourse. The signing of the Declaration meant exactly that, no recourse. They were unable to resolve their differences in a manner satisfactory to both sides so the only thing to do was to break away from the rest of the empire. The Declaration turned what could have been viewed as a regional dispute had things been resolved diplomatically into a full scale war (it was already a war, but had there been a diplomatic resolution that allowed the colonies to remain in the empire as the leaders would have prefered then they could have claimed that it was a dispute between those in New England who had taken things a little too far and the British government)."

( engrosser: probably Timothy Matlack)Signatories 56 delegates to the Continental Congress Purpose To announce and explain separation from Great Britain [1]The United States Declaration of Independence is the statement adopted by the Second Continental Congress meeting at the Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. The Declaration announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain would regard themselves as thirteen independent sovereign states no longer under British rule. With the Declaration, these new states took a collective first step toward forming the United States of America. The declaration was signed by representatives from New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The Declaration was passed on July 2 with no opposing votes. A committee of five had drafted it to be ready when Congress voted on independence. John Adams, a leader in pushing for independence, had persuaded the committee to select Thomas Jefferson to compose the original draft of the document, [2] which Congress edited to produce the final version. The Declaration was a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, \"\"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America\"\"— [3] although Independence Day is actually celebrated on July 4, the date that the wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved."

Flag How did America get its independence? Answer by Sarah Bartley Confidence votes 77The United States Continental Congress declared independance from England's king, and all the signatories finalized the document on July 4, 1776. The British sent troops and ships to start the rebellion. At that time, the British were probably the toughest military around, with the toughest navy in the world. The native American population (Indians) sided with Britain. The Prussians sent advisors to assist the Continental Army only after they were convinced that the colonies could withstand the beating that the British would give. The French joined the colonies' cause after the Battle of Saratoga, and the Dutch and Spanish both independantly declared war on Britain within two years of that date. The war was not world wide, but did encompass a wide swath of the North Atlantic. Eventually the British gave up at Yorktown, leaving the Indians alone to confront a now very angry group of Americans and all of Europe happy at Britain's loss.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

The Declaration of Independence, Equality and Unalienable Rights A. EQUAL RIGHTSOne of the first principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence is that of equality. The Declaration asserts that “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The rule of equality is tied to the creation of mankind by God. This proposition is not the incantation of a religious establishment. It is a legal fact acknowledged to be “self-evident.” The Declaration is a legal instrument. It is intended for a legal object. It speaks of equality in a legal sense. The Declaration asserts that mankind is created and that as far as the law is concerned, mankind is created equally human by God."

"text": "\"The Declaration of Independence in Japan: Translation and Transplantation, 1854 - 1997Tadashi Aruga The Declaration of Independence in Japanese The Japanese Constitution of 1946, which has been in effect since May 1947, states in its preamble that the constitution is founded on the \"\"universal principle of mankind\"\" ( jinrui fuhen no genri) that \"\"government is a sacred trust [ genshukuna shintaku ] of the people, the authority for which is derived from the people, the powers of which are exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits of which are enjoyed by the people.\"\" The constitution declares in its bill of rights section that \"\"these fundamental human rights guaranteed to the people by this Constitution\"\" are \"\"eternal and inviolate rights.\"\" It includes a \"\"right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness\"\" among these fundamental rights. 1 The Declaration of Independence of the United States leaves clear marks of its influence on the present Japanese Constitution, which was drafted and promulgated as the culmination of the drastic reforms introduced into Japan under the guidance of Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's general headquarters. The Declaration of Independence had been known to Japanese since the mid-nineteenth century. Indeed, there had been an age in Japanese history, from the 1860s through the 1880s, when the American document was a source of inspiration and excitement for many Japanese. It was an age when philosophes of the Meiji Enlightenment introduced modern Western ideas to the Japanese audience and many political activists agitated for \"\"freedom and the people's rights.\"\" In that age, the translation and propagation of Western ideas were means to promote change. Thus the Declaration of Independence played the role of the standard for change twice in the history of modern Japan, first in the decades of Meiji Enlightenment and the freedom and people's rights movement, and second in the years of democratization after Japan's defeat in World War II. Its basic idea having been firmly transplanted into the Japanese Constitution, the American document today quietly rests in Japan as a historical document without a role in political debate."

As John Adams noted in a letter of 1815 to Thomas Jefferson, \"\"What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the Revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington. The records of thirteen legislatures, the pamphlets, newspapers in all the colonies, ought to be consulted during that period to ascertain the steps by which the public opinion was enlightened and informed concerning the authority of Parliament over the colonies.\"\" This lesson examines the \"\"Revolution in the minds of the people\"\" that Adams described, focusing on Thomas Paine’s remarkably influential pamphlet Common Sense, published in January 1776 and reprinted 25 times in the next year, and the Declaration of Independence that it helped to inspire. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) wrote several books and pamphlets that greatly contributed to \"\"delegitimizing\"\" the claims to authority of the British state. Paine asserted that \"\"society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one\"\" and directed the reader to the discussion of the nature of rulers in the Bible (I Samuel 8, included in the readings for this module). As to the particular claims of the British monarchy, Paine noted, \"\"No man in his senses can say that their claim under William the Conqueror is a very honorable one."

"text": "What did the Declaration of Independence Say? Written by Alex Mayor on October 9, 2011 · Leave a Comment Who would have thought that the great and powerful United States of America had once been a colony of Great Britain? Yes, America had its own shares of defeat and struggles from its colonizers but the American people learned to put an end to the cruelty of Great Britain through the Declaration of Independence. We can unravel such fact by knowing some important American history. Back in the 18th century, America was not called a country for it was colonized by Great Britain. The King of Great Britain was the ruler of American people and this meant they had to do what the King told them. The people were angry for the inhumane treatment of their colonizer and some of the savage manipulation of the king to the Americans were putting citizens to jail without any reason, imposing hefty taxes and taking away their rights. Because of the urge to stop all the merciless treatment of the king, the American people decided to come up with a plan to halt all the sufferings. They met in Philadelphia on June 11, 1776 and asked John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman to write a paper why America deserves to be set free and deserves to be called a country. Among the men given such assignment, majority of the people were impressed on Thomas Jefferson’s paper and made this as the Declaration of Independence."

David Sacks via Getty Images By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer Published: 01/03/2014 11:12 AM EST on Live Science A 13-year-old girl in California continues to be on a ventilator after being declared brain-dead by doctors. Although a brain-dead person is not legally alive, how much of the body will keep on working with the help of technology, and for how long? Jahi Mc Math of Oakland, Calif., was declared brain-dead last month after experiencing an extremely rare complication from tonsil surgery. Jahi’s family members have fought to keep their daughter on a ventilator, but a judge has ordered that the machine be turned off next week. A person is considered brain-dead when he or she no longer has any neurological activity in the brain or brain stem — meaning no electrical impulses are being sent between brain cells. Doctors perform a number of tests to determine whether someone is brain-dead, one of which checks whether the individual can initiate his or her own breath, a very primitive reflex carried out by the brain stem, said Dr. Diana Greene-Chandos, an assistant professor of neurological surgery and neurology at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “ It’s the last thing to go,” Greene-Chandos said. [ 10 Surprising Facts About the Brain]In the United States and many other countries, a person is legally dead if he or she permanently loses all brain activity (brain death) or all breathing and circulatory functions. In Jahi’s case, three doctors have concluded that she is brain-dead."

( July 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Prior to the introduction of brain death into law in the mid to late 1970s, all organ transplants from cadaveric donors came from non-heart beating donors ( NHBDs ). [ 1]Donors after brain-dead (DBD) ( beating heart cadavers ), however, led to better results as the organs were perfused with oxygenated blood until the point of perfusion and cooling at organ retrieval, and so NHBDs were generally no longer used except in Japan, where brain death was not legally, until very recently, [2] or culturally recognized. [ citation needed]However, a growing discrepancy between demand for organs and their availability from DBDs has led to a re-examination of using non-heart beating donors, donors after circulatory death (DCDs), and many centres are now using such donors to expand their potential pool of organs. Tissue donation ( corneas, heart valves, skin, bone) has always been possible for non-heart beating donors, and many centres now have established programmes for kidney transplants from such donors. A few centres have also moved into DCD liver and lung transplants. Many lessons have been learnt since the 1970s, and results from current DCDs transplants are comparable to transplants from DBDs.

To begin, let me post a definition of blastocyst (from Word Net): Quoteearly stage of an embryo produced by cleavage of an ovum; a liquid-filled sphere whose wall is composed of a single layer of cells; during this stage (about eight days after fertilization) implantation in the wall of the uterus occurs The basic question is: does a blastocyst meet the criteria of a human being? The best way to argue this point, I believe, is to enumerate the core criteria which comprise a human being, then use that to argue the point. Some things to keep in mind are various things which would comprise parts of a human being but not human beings themselves. An example would be a biopsy. Unless your argument is that a biopsy is a human being, your criteria should no be so vague as to be unable to distinguish the difference. I personally think the idea of a biopsy being considered a human being is foolish, and I think that's a sentiment which is universally shared.

Transplantable organs and tissue can be donated to help the lives of individuals in need. Additional information can be found at Understanding Donation. Anatomical gift means a donation of all or part of a human body, after death, for the purpose of transplantation, therapy, research or education. Donation is important because thousands of people die or suffer needlessly each year due to a lack of organ and tissue donors. A transplant is often the only hope. A single donor can save the lives of up to eight (8) people and enhance the lives of at least 50 others. Vital organs and tissues can be donated for transplantation. Organ donation is an option for people who have been declared legally dead by brain death criteria.

Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing, the two necessary criteria to sustain human and many other organisms' lives. It occurs when the heart stops beating in a regular rhythm, a condition called cardiac arrest. The term is also sometimes used in resuscitation research. Brain injuries start to accumulate almost immediately after Clinical Death. Full recovery of the brain after more than 3 minutes of clinical death at normal body temperature is rare. Usually brain damage or later brain death results after longer intervals of clinical death even if the heart is restarted and blood circulation is successfully restored. Although loss of function is almost immediate, there is no specific duration of clinical death at which the non-functioning brain clearly dies. The most vulnerable cells in the brain, CA1 neurons of the hippocampus, are fatally injured by as little as 10 minutes without oxygen. However, the injured cells do not actually die until hours after resuscitation."

It is a bilateral, or two-sided, structure that can be separated into distinct lobes. Each lobe is associated with certain types of functions, but, ultimately, all of the areas of the brain interact with one another to provide the foundation for our thoughts and behaviors. In this section, we discuss the overall organization of the brain and the functions associated with different brain areas, beginning with what can be seen as an extension of the brain, the spinal cord. The Spinal Cord It can be said that the spinal cord is what connects the brain to the outside world. Because of it, the brain can act. The spinal cord is like a relay station, but a very smart one. It not only routes messages to and from the brain, but it also has its own system of automatic processes, called reflexes. The top of the spinal cord merges with the brain stem, where the basic processes of life are controlled, such as breathing and digestion. In the opposite direction, the spinal cord ends just below the ribs—contrary to what we might expect, it does not extend all the way to the base of the spine."

"text": "The Canadian Law Reform Commission’s definition of death Posted on April 11, 1979In 1979 the Law Reform Commission of Canada dealing with the Protection of Life Project issued its first working paper: Working Paper 23: Criteria for the Determination of Death (Minister of Supply and Services, Canada, 1979. 70pp.) The Commission has now reviewed public response, made some minor alterations, and submitted its final report to the Canadian Parliament on the matter: Report 15: Criteria for the Determination of Death (Minister of Supply and Services, Canada. 1981. 35pp.) In this brief the B. C. Civil Liberties Association puts forth its view of the recommendations of the Commission. The problem the report addresses is this: traditionally, there was a clear and crisp line dividing the living from the dead; the living were readily identifiable as those who were warm, responsive, animated, and carried on various biological functions, whereas the dead displayed none of these characteristics. One simply did not run across cases of persons who, for any sustained period of time, manifested some but not all of the characteristics associated with human life, and hence it did not matter much whether death was defined in terms of the absence of one trait or another. The absence of breathing was for a long time taken as definitive of death, until Harvey’s work on the circulation of blood, after which death came to be defined in terms of absence of heartbeat. But as normally heartbeat, breathing, and other life signs all ceased at roughly the same time, this was not a matter of great consequence."

This photo illustration shows an angiogram of a brain at left with blood flow and brain at right without blood flow as it would be seen in a brain dead patient. © Fusionspark Media Inc. The concept of brain death is often difficult for families to come to terms with when dealing with a tragic loss. Their loved one who has suffered from an injury to the brain is in a hospital intensive care unit. Doctors are doing everything possible to help the patient including supporting blood pressure and heart rate with medications, breathing for the patient with a ventilator, and constantly monitoring the patient’s condition. Often, for the patient with a non-traumatic brain injury like a stroke, there is no outward sign that their loved one has suffered a devastating and non-survivable injury to the brain. The patient looks to be asleep, is warm to touch and appears to breath, albeit with the help of a machine. It is under these circumstances that families are asked to understand that their loved one has died. It is also under the same scenario that organ donation is presented as an option in order to give life to others. What is brain death?"

[ 1] It is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the rostral (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day following conception. [ 2] Strictly speaking, the Greek term translates as \"\"no in-head\"\" (that is, totally lacking the inside part of the head, i.e. the brain), but it is accepted that children born with this disorder usually only lack a telencephalon, [3] the largest part of the brain consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres, including the neocortex, which is responsible for cognition. The remaining structure is usually covered only by a thin layer of membrane—skin, bone, meninges, etc. are all lacking.

CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A LIVING DONOR http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satel... Read this too... Ideally, after death, a person’s body must be washed, shrouded and buried as intact as possible after saying the prescribed Prayers; we are not allowed to dissect, mutilate or tamper with the body in any way. The reason for this is that the dead person enjoys a certain amount of sanctity which cannot be violated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “Cutting up a dead person’s bones is akin to cutting him up while he is alive!” There are, however, certain exceptions made to the above strict rule in order to address certain specific exigencies or unusual circumstances. In other words, the rigors of the law have been relaxed in some cases, for things that are otherwise deemed as impermissible shall be deemed permissible or even recommended in such cases depending on the severity or extreme necessity. An example of this is when it has been determined that a certain organ or body part of a dead person can be used to save a living person. In such case, we are certainly allowed to harvest a specific organ or body part of a dead person—provided that he has already left specific instructions before his death in his will to that effect or provided his legal heirs have authorized the same. This is based on a ruling of the majority of Muslim jurists who have deliberated on this issue."

Now, he focuses on the relationships between the mind and God, love and psychology. Plus, why he thinks scientists need to research the importance of human consciousness. In the wake of new research showing antidepressants don't work and that the brains of depressed patients don't seem genetically different from those of undepressed people, you have an opening to look at the mind with fresh eyes. Depression is the smallest tip of a huge iceberg. The fad for focusing on the brain has overwhelmed science and society as a whole. It perfectly suits our materialistic belief system. As a result, science acts as if the mind is a fiction, a ghost or a superstition, very much like the soul. That is a straw man of the most obvious sort because how your life turns out depends very little on whether you believe in the soul—it depends a great deal on how you use your mind. I realize this seems like an abstract or lofty debate to ordinary people."

The outer boundaries are obvious — a walking, talking individual is alive, a body with rigor mortis is not — but the precise instant when a person is considered dead is uncertain. If the heart stops beating long enough, the person dies. But a stopped heart often can be restarted; this is routine during heart surgery. Likewise, someone who stops breathing can be kept alive by a mechanical ventilator. If both the heart and breathing cease, physicians may institute CPR. When the physician decides to stop CPR and declare a person \"\"dead\"\" is a matter of discretion, not an established fact. This uncertainty over the moment of death is nothing new and has long concerned scientists and the public. For centuries, physicians sought ways to establish if and when a person was dead."

This is why in most of the countries the use of such technologies, without consent of the user, is banned. Devices using light for the stimulation of the brain show another way how the light flashing in certain frequencies could be used for the manipulation of human psychic life. As for the sound, a report on the device transmitting a beam of sound waves, which can hear only persons at whom the beam of sound waves is targeted, appeared last year in the world newspapers. The beam is formed by a combination of sound and ultrasound waves which causes that a person targeted by this beam hears the sound inside of his head. Such a perception could easily convince the human being that it is mentally ill. The acts presented in this article suggest that with the development of technology and knowledge of the functioning of human brain new ways of manipulation of human mind keep emerging. One of them seems to be the electromagnetic energy. Though in the open scientific literature only some 30 experiments were published, supporting this assumption (1), (2), already in 1974, in the USSR, after succesfull testing with military unit in Novosibirsk, the installation Radioson (Radiosleep) was registered with the Government Committee on the Matters of Inventions and Discoveries of the USSR, described as a method of induction of sleep by means of radio waves (3), (4), (5). In the scientific literature technical feasibility of making a human being asleep by radio waves is confirmed in the book by English scientist carrying out research on the biological effects of electromagnetism (6)."

C., court will hear arguments on Wednesday in the case of Motl Brody, a 12-year-old Orthodox Jewish boy who was declared dead last week by hospital officials. Though the boy's brain has stopped functioning completely, drugs and a respirator are keeping his heart beating and his lungs inflating. According to his parents' strict religious beliefs, this means that Motl is still alive, and the family is therefore arguing to keep the boy on life support. How is death defined in other religions? Usually, the same way it has traditionally been defined in all cultures: by a lack of vital signs. Most world religions lack a clear doctrinal statement that certifies when, exactly, the moment of death can be said to have occurred. For most of human history, there was no need for one since prior to the invention of life-support equipment, the absence of circulation or respiration was the only way to diagnose death. This remains the standard of death in most religions."

"text": "\"National Archives to Keep JFK Secrets until 2017The National Archives (NARA) today turned down the request of a Washington non-profit public interest group to declassify secret records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in time for the 50th anniversary of that tragic event in 2013. The request for release of the secret documents was made by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC), a Washington, D. C. non-profit public interest group in a letter signed by several of its board members and attorneys Mark Zaid, Charles Sanders and Prof G Robert Blakey, who served as the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The letter made the point that the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination in 2013 will result in widespread discussion and news coverage, and that government documents related to the assassination should be made public in order for a fully informed discussion. Here is the complete text of the response from the National Archives in a letter from NARA General Counsel Gary M. Stern to Assassination Archives and Research Center President Jim Lesar:“I write in response to the letter of January 20, 2012, from you and five colleagues to David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, requesting that the National Archives and Records Administration review the remaining classified documents that were ‘postponed’ from public disclosure in accordance with the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 in time for the 50th anniversary of the assassination in November 2013.“We share your passion and commitment to providing access to JFK assassination records as quickly as possible. As your letter recounts, the JFK Act established a rigorous process for declassification review and release that was administered by the Assassination Records Review Board until 1998. For any assassination records that were not released by the ARRB, subsequent release could be postponed until a date certain not to exceed 25 years from the enactment of the JFK Act, i.e., no later than 2017.“The JFK Act Collection consists of a total of approximately 5 million pages, and less than 1% of the documents in the Collection are ‘postponed in full’ until 2017. I note that your letter states that in 2010, Assistant Archivist ‘Michael Kurtz revealed that the CIA continues to withhold approximately 50,000 pages of JFK assassination-related records.’ I would like to clarify that NARA has never counted, and thus does not know, the actual number of pages that are postponed in full. Dr. Kurtz accurately stated that ‘less than one percent’ of the total volume of assassination records was still being withheld; he also provided our rough estimate that the collection totals approximately five million pages. Thus, it appears that the 50,000 page number in your letter may have been derived by incorrectly calculating a full one percent of five million pages."

His parents were in some ways opposites—Frank Nixon was as argumentative as Hannah Nixon was sweet-tempered.

His school life brought a string of successes in endeavors common to politicians in training. He won debates and elections and leading roles in school dramatic productions. His grades were excellent, at both Whittier College and Duke University's law school.

In an astounding transaction that amounted to four cents an acre, President Thomas Jefferson saw his dreams of westward expansion coming true for the nation he had helped create. The United States of America would grow beyond the Mississippi River and include the rich forests, vast plains, and craggy mountains that would one day yield the vital resources to make it the most powerful and most prosperous nation on earth. The historic transaction is known as the Louisiana Purchase, but it was not something that Jefferson had sought to make at the time. He would have been content just to buy the port of New Orleans so the United States— not Spain, not France, certainly not Great Britain— could control the gateway to the Mississippi River, the main street of commerce in what was then the American West. But France's ruler at the time, Napoleon Bonaparte, was losing interest in establishing a North American empire and needed funds to fight the British, so he directed his emissaries to offer not just New Orleans but all of the Louisiana Territory to the Americans. Jefferson's envoys in Paris, without awaiting any direction from their President (which would have taken two months), accepted the deal and on April 30, 1803, signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty."

Its chairman, Ernst David Bergmann, had long advocated an Israeli bomb as the best way to ensure \"\"that we shall never again be led as lambs to the slaughter.\"\" Bergmann was also head of the Ministry of Defense's Research and Infrastructure Division (known by its Hebrew acronym, EMET), which had taken over the HEMED research centers (HEMED GIMMEL among them, now renamed Machon 4) as part of a reorganization. Under Bergmann, the line between the IAEC and EMET blurred to the point that Machon 4 functioned essentially as the chief laboratory for the IAEC. By 1953, Machon 4 had not only perfected a process for extracting the uranium found in the Negev, but had also developed a new method of producing heavy water, providing Israel with an indigenous capability to produce some of the most important nuclear materials."

"text": "WHAT IS AUTOMATIC DECLASSIFICATION? Automatic declassification is the declassification of information based upon the occurrence of a specific date or event as determined by the original classification authority; or the expiration of a maximum time frame for the duration of classification established under the Order (25 years). WHY IS AUTOMATIC DECLASSIFICATION IMPORTANT? The automatic declassification process increases the potential release of formerly classified national security information to the general public and researchers, enhancing their knowledge of the United States’ democratic institutions and history, while at the same time ensuring that information which can still cause damage to national security continues to be protected. WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF AUTOMATIC DECLASSIFICATION? The objective of automatic declassification is to declassify information without compromising national security. The presumption is that 25 year old information is declassified unless it clearly falls under one or more of the 9 exemption categories in section 3.3 (b) of the Order and has been specifically exempted by an agency head or senior agency official. WHAT IS THE AUTHORITY FOR AUTOMATIC DECLASSIFICATION? Executive Order 13526, “Classified National Security Information”WHAT RECORDS ARE SUBJECT TO AUTOMATIC DECLASSIFICATION? Only 25 year old or older records that have been determined to have permanent historical value in accordance with title 44, U. S. C. are subject to automatic declassification."

If the business is \"\"intelligence,\"\" however, we search in vain. As historian Walter Laqueur warned us, so far no one has succeeded in crafting a theory of intelligence. I have to wonder if the difficulty in doing so resides more in the slipperiness of the tools than in the poor skills of the craftsmen or the complexity of the topic. Indeed, even today, we have no accepted definition of intelligence. The term is defined anew by each author who addresses it, and these definitions rarely refer to one another or build off what has been written before. Without a clear idea of what intelligence is, how can we develop a theory to explain how it works? If you cannot define a term of art, then you need to rethink something. In some way you are not getting to the heart of the matter."

Here are the latest updates in the controversy Netaji's nephew Ardhendu Bose, a former model and businessman, has said that his father believed the phones at their home in Mumbai were tapped. He said this was taken as proof that the iconic leader didn't actually die in a plane crash in 1945. \"\" My father never believed Netaji died in the plane crash,\"\" Mr Bose told NDTV. Files declassified recently revealed that the Intelligence Bureau kept relatives of Netaji under close surveillance for two decades, mostly during the rule of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India. Mr Bose said his family believed the only leader to be a \"\"threat\"\" to Jawaharlal Nehru was Subhas Chandra Bose. \"\" If Netaji were really dead and perished in the air crash then why all this? Obviously there was some element of fact that Bose was alive, lurking around somewhere and would make an appearance,\"\" he said.

Republish Reprint By Eva Trieger Eva Trieger Paul Davids SOLANA BEACH, California — Every good conspiracy requires specific elements to make it compelling and spellbinding: A beautiful woman, men of power, and a secret so valuable, if leaked, heads would roll. Marilyn Monroe Declassified meets each of the aforementioned requirements and goes beyond the intrigue by measuring up to the burden of proof. Though the facts have been suppressed for 53 years since the actress’ death at age 36 in 1962, the dogged efforts of actor/producer, Paul Davids, have provided evidence that the starlet did not commit suicide but was eliminated because she posed a threat to national security. Davids agreed to a telephone interview about his new film. America’s favorite dizzy, buxom blonde starred in over 29 films with such famous funny men as Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, larger than life greats such as Lawrence Olivier and Clark Gable, and she was married to icon Joe Di Maggio among others. Her tragic failed marriages and well documented drug use and the turbulent sixties synergistically created “a perfect storm” for America’s acceptance of the official announcement of her untimely death as “probable suicide.” Davids has concluded otherwise. Paul Davids, a Princeton graduate, may well be considered a Renaissance man. He was involved in the creation production that gave birth to “the Transformers phenomenon” for which he was production coordinator of 79 episodes."

"text": "\"Between Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, and the commencement of military action in January 1991, then President George H. W. Bush raised the specter of the Iraqi pursuit of nuclear weapons as one justification for taking decisive action against Iraq. In the then-classified National Security Directive 54, signed on January 15, 1991, authorizing the use of force to expel Iraq from Kuwait, he identified Iraqi use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against allied forces as an action that would lead the U. S. to seek the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. ( Note 1)In the aftermath of Iraq's defeat, the U. S.-led U. N. coalition was able to compel Iraq to agree to an inspection and monitoring regime, intended to insure that Iraq dismantled its WMD programs and did not take actions to reconstitute them. The means of implementing the relevant U. N. resolutions was the Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM). That inspection regime continued until December 16, 1998 - although it involved interruptions, confrontations, and Iraqi attempts at denial and deception - when UNSCOM withdrew from Iraq in the face of Iraqi refusal to cooperate, and harassment. Subsequent to George W. Bush's assumption of the presidency in January 2001, the U. S. made it clear that it would not accept what had become the status quo with respect to Iraq - a country ruled by Saddam Hussein and free to attempt to reconstitute its assorted weapons of mass destruction programs. As part of their campaign against the status quo, which included the clear threat of the eventual use of military force against the Iraqi regime, the U. S. and Britain published documents and provided briefings detailing their conclusions concerning Iraq's WMD programs and its attempts to deceive other nations about those programs. As a result of the U. S. and British campaign, and after prolonged negotiations between the United States, Britain, France, Russia and other U. N. Security Council members, the United Nations declared that Iraq would have to accept even more intrusive inspections than under the previous inspection regime - to be carried out by the U. N. Monitoring, Verification, and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - or face \"\"serious consequences.\"\" Iraq agreed to accept the U. N. decision and inspections resumed in late November 2002. On December 7, 2002, Iraq submitted its 12,000 page declaration, which claimed that it had no current WMD programs."

In the Rainbow Series, we discuss in detail the features of the Department of Defense Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (Do D 5200.28-STD) and provide guidance for meeting each requirement. The National Computer Security Center, through its Trusted Product Evaluation Program, evaluates the security features of commercially-produced computer systems. Together, these programs ensure that organizations are capable of protecting their important data with trusted computer systems. While data remanence is not a directly evaluated criterion of trusted computing systems, it is an issue critical to the safeguarding of information used by trusted computing systems. A Guide to Understanding Data Remanence in Automated Information Systems is intended for use by personnel responsible for the secure handling of sensitive or classified automated information system memory and secondary storage media. It is important that they be aware of the retentive properties of such media, the known risks in attempting to erase and release it, and the approved security procedures that will help prevent disclosure of sensitive or classified information.

"text": "\"Deconditioning On a general level, deconditioning is a gradual physiological process whereby the level of physical conditioning and corresponding physical performance ability of the individual is reduced. \"\" Out of shape\"\" is the common expression used to convey this meaning. On a more sport-specific level, deconditioning is sometimes used as a planned period of inactivity to achieve a specific physiological end. Two vastly different circumstances are the best examples of the deconditioning process. When astronauts and scientists work for extended periods in the manned stations that function in the weightless environment of space, the most common observable physical phenomenon in the space station inhabitants is a pronounced loss of muscle mass, reduced cardiovascular function, and reductions in bone density. The space stations have no facility where the residents can use their muscles against resistance, the counterforce required to build muscle. The decline in cardiovascular function stems from the same reason. The loss of physical fitness is unrelated to the otherwise sound nutritional practices observed by these space travelers. Persons who have been bedridden with an illness for a significant time are subject to the same types of physiological deterioration as the astronauts. Muscles that are inactive and that are not required to perform the usual baseline functions associated with posture and support of the musculoskeletal system will decline over time."

Part 1: The Basics & Reasons for Disbelief By Adrienne Dellwo Updated April 21, 2016Share Pin Email Print JGI/Tom Grill/Blend Images/Getty Images Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is such an important part of chronic fatigue syndrome ( ME/CFS) that you really can't understand the disease without Understanding the symptom. It's guided a tremendous amount of ME/CFS research, is theorized to be the key to an objective diagnostic test, and is even behind the new suggested name for the condition — systemic exercise intolerance disease. Still, however, some members of the medical community don't believe that PEM exists. Instead, they blame the negative response to exercise on deconditioning; they blame exercise avoidance on a psychological condition called kinesiophobia. In a nutshell, they think a whole bunch of people are just out of shape and irrational. ( Spoiler alert: research suggests otherwise! ) Meanwhile, a large and continuously growing body of evidence suggests a wide array of physiological abnormalities behind PEM.

And, it will also burn calories, although not as many as you might think. Don't Believe the Hype Some Bikram yoga enthusiasts claim you can burn 1,000 calories or more during a 90-minute class. There's no doubt that the length of the class, combined with the strenuous yoga postures and extreme heat makes it feel like you're burning 1,000 calories, but scientific research disproves that notion. Colorado State researcher Brian Tracy assessed the physiological effects of a Bikram yoga class on 19 experienced male and female practitioners between the ages of 18 and 40 years old. He determined that actual calorie burn amounted to 460 calories for men and 330 calories for women during a 90-minute session. Men burn more calories because they weigh more.

"text": "Back Muscles and Ligaments Prev NEXTThe bones of your spine would not be able to move or even hold themselves upright without the muscles and ligaments that surround them. An important part of understanding back pain is understanding how these structures work and how they can get injured. Back Ligaments Attached to all the bones and disks in the spine are long, cordlike structures called ligaments. Not as hard as bone but not as soft as muscle, these bands of connective tissue come in almost every size. Some are short, running only between adjacent bones, but some are very long, extending all the way down the length of the spine. The ligaments have several important functions. They provide support for the spine from the head down to the tip of the tailbone, holding disks and bones and muscles in their proper places. Their main function is to hold the bones together, allowing bending, twisting, and other movements to occur within safe ranges. Because ligaments are somewhat elastic, giving them the ability to stretch a little but not too much, they are perfectly suited for this task. When you bend over forward as far as you can, these ligaments reach the end of their length; they become taut, keeping the bones from moving apart any farther."

"text": "What does high protein in urine mean? High levels of protein in the urine may therefore be due to diseases of the kidney such as glomerulonephritis. It may also be due to general illness More from Ask the expert High blood pressure (hypertension)Medicines for kidney and liver problems Cystitis1 September 2014Question What are the possible causes of the presence of high levels of protein in urine? Answer In the absence of other symptoms I can only give a very general answer to this question. The kidneys' primary function is to maintain the fluid balance in the body and to excrete unwanted soluble chemicals. While doing this, the kidneys must conserve other important constituents circulating in the bloodstream. Although healthy people do pass small amounts of protein in the urine normally, protein above a certain level in the urine suggests that there may be damage to the filter mechanism (the glomeruli) or inflammation. A second source of protein in urine is blood that may come from any part of the kidney or urinary pathway. High levels of protein in the urine may therefore be due to diseases of the kidney, such as glomerulonephritis. It may also be due to general illnesses that also affect the kidney as in high blood pressure or heart failure."

Dysautonomia is an umbrella term used to describe any malfunction of the autonomic nervous system. There are many underlying diseases and conditions that can lead to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. This is not an all inclusive list, so check with your doctor if you believe you might have an underlying cause for your POTS or other form of dysautonomia. Remember that not every dysautonomia patient can find a specific underlying cause, and some of these conditions are very rare. Amyloidosis Amyloidosis is a group of rare disorders caused by the accumulation of harmful protein in various tissues of the body. It can be an inheretied condition or an acquired condition.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Muscle atrophy Prisoner of war exhibiting muscle loss as a result of malnutrition Specialty Rheumatology, neurology Muscle atrophy is defined as a decrease in the mass of the muscle; it can be a partial or complete wasting away of muscle, and is most commonly experienced when persons suffer temporary disabling circumstances such as being restricted in movement and/or confined to bed as when hospitalized. When a muscle atrophies, this leads to muscle weakness, since the ability to exert force is related to mass. Modern medicine's understanding of the quick onset of muscle atrophy is a major factor behind the practice of getting hospitalized patients out of bed and moving about as active as possible as soon as is feasible, despite sutures, wounds, broken bones and pain. Muscle atrophy results from a co-morbidity of several common diseases, including cancer, AIDS, congestive heart failure, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), renal failure, and severe burns; patients who have \"\" cachexia \"\" in these disease settings have a poor prognosis. Moreover, starvation eventually leads to muscle atrophy. Disuse of the muscles, such as when muscle tissue is immobilized for even a few days of unuse – when the patient has a primary injury such as an immobilized broken bone (set in a cast or immobilized in traction), for example – will also lead rapidly to disuse atrophy. Minimizing such occurrences as soon as possible is a primary mission of occupational and physical therapists employed within hospitals working in co-ordination with orthopedic surgeons. Neurogenic atrophy, which has a similar effect, is muscle atrophy resulting from damage to the nerve which stimulates the muscle, causing a shriveling around otherwise healthy limbs. Also, time in a circa zero g environment without exercise will lead to atrophy. This is partially due to the smaller amount of exertion needed to move about, and the fact that muscles are not used to maintain posture."

It's caused by an abnormality in one or more discs, the cushions that lie between the neck bones (vertebrae). When a disc is damaged, usually due to wear or tear (degeneration) or to disc herniation, it can lead to neck pain from inflammation or muscle spasms. In severe cases, pain and numbness can occur in the arms from nerve irritation or damage from pinching a nerve.

Dear Instapundit asks, “ Is deconditioning a medical condition? ” Yes, YES, a thousand times YES!The insight that deconditioning is a medical condition is just as brilliant and apt as Hans Selye’s observation that stress is a medical condition. The diagnosis of deconditioning gets to the root of a syndrome of problems that otherwise would be given treatments that, at best, would not work, and at worst, would be harmful. That’s because if your problems have a common source in your body’s being extremely weak, no pill can cure that by making you strong. Defining deconditioning as a medical condition gives a name to the syndrome of health problems that follow physical weakness."

Answer There are many possible causes for smelly urine, and most can be quickly identified with simple tests on the urine. Infection is the commonest cause and a sample sent off to the bacteriology lab will reveal that. However, there are also conditions that affect the salts and other chemicals produced by the body, which when appearing in urine might make it offensive. Many of these can be simply detected with analysis of the urine at the local lab. The first step is to get a couple of urine samples analysed by going to your GP.

However, these work by constricting blood flow to the sinuses, and it is now thought that it can be absorbed systemically. Decongestant nasal sprays are made with different types of medications: Pseudoephedrine (or Sudafed): Category C drug that constricts the flow of blood to the nasal passages, can be absorbed systemically Loratadine (or Claritin): Antihistamine that is usually considered safe to take during pregnancy Saline-Only Nasal Sprays: Considered safe during pregnancy Decongestant nasal sprays are all applied to the nasal passages as tiny droplets of liquid, but the liquids in each medication are quite different. Like all other medications, nasal decongestants should be used only as directed during pregnancy, and use should be limited to three days (more than three days can lead to rebound nasal congestion). Pregnant women should talk with their doctor or midwife before choosing an over-the-counter decongestant nasal spray. The nasal decongestant spray of choice for many OB/GYNs is oxymetazoline. Common brands of decongestant nasal sprays include Afrin, Vicks Sinex, Sudafed OM, Dristan and Zycam. Decongestant nasal sprays are all applied to the nasal passages as tiny droplets of liquid, but the liquids in each medication are quite different. The four types of decongestant nasal sprays are antihistamine, topical, corticosteroid and natural (saline). Antihistamines are azelastin hydrochloride and olopatadine hydrochloride."

This condition is referred to as pregnancy rhinitis, and while it won't harm Mom or the baby, it is irritating and can last for the entire pregnancy, and even after birth. The biggest concern associated with pregnancy rhinitis is not the congestion and other symptoms, but the treatment the mother uses. What is it? Pregnancy rhinitis is the technical name for the sniffling, sneezing and stuffy nose that many women experience during pregnancy. It is a type of allergic rhinitis, but don't worry, it doesn't mean that the mother is allergic to her baby or anything silly.

Background Rhinitis is the medical term for inflammation of the nose. Viruses, bacteria, allergens, and irritants can cause inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes, which results in rhinitis. Once inflamed, the nose produces excessive mucus, which causes a runny nose, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip (when mucus drips from the sinuses, down the throat). Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common allergies. This type of rhinitis occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to allergen (a substance that can cause an allergic reaction), in this case, an airborne substance that is normally harmless, such as mold, pollen, animal dander, or dust mites. Once the allergen is inhaled through the nose, white blood cells of an allergic individual produce an antibody called immunoglobulin E (Ig E). This immunoglobulin attaches to the allergen, which triggers the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals that cause allergic rhinitis symptoms, such as runny nose and nasal congestion. Allergic rhinitis may occur as either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Acute rhinitis is short-term and classified as the common cold, while chronic rhinitis is recurrent, with periods of remission in between. Chronic rhinitis lasts three months or longer."

"text": "\"Side Effects and Warnings of Doxylamine Succinateby ALICIA PRATER Nov. 20, 2017Doxylamine succinate is an antihistamine medication that blocks the effects of histamine, a chemical occurring naturally in the body. Doxylamine succinate is found in some over-the-counter sleep aids, such as Unisom and Wal-Som. It is also combined with decongestants and other medicines in a number of over-the-counter cold or allergy medicines, such as Ny Quil and Tylenol Sinus. When combined with vitamin B6 in the prescription medication called Diclegis, doxylamine is used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Doxylamine succinate is generally safe, but it can cause side effects that are usually minor but occasionally serious. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Drowsiness Doxylamine succinate often causes drowsiness, which is considered a beneficial effect when used as a sleep aid but a side effect when used for other purposes. Drowsiness tends to be more common and more severe in older adults. This increases their risk of falling when taking doxylamine. Consuming other medicines with sedating effects -- such as antidepressants, muscle relaxants or opioid painkillers -- and drinking alcohol also increase the likelihood of drowsiness. Sometimes doxylamine succinate causes the opposite of drowsiness, producing nervousness, irritability or insomnia."

Vicks vaporub contains four active ingredients, levomenthol, eucalyptus oil, turpentine oil and camphor. These are traditional medicines used as inhalations for their decongestant and soothing effect. The ingredients have mild decongestant properties and can relieve a blocked nose. They also have mild cooling effects that can soothe irritation in the lining of the nose, thereby easing breathing and relieving cough. For children, Vicks vaporub should be rubbed lightly on the chest and back underneath loose clothing to allow the vapour to be inhaled. For adults, the medicine should be rubbed liberally on the chest, throat and back underneath loose clothing to allow the vapour to be inhaled. Alternatively, two teaspoonfuls can be melted in hot water to use as a steam inhalation. In this case, the warm moisture inhaled in the steam will also help liquify and loosen mucus, allowing more effective clearance of the airways. This can relieve cough as well as nasal congestion."

"text": "What is a Drug Interaction? Last Reviewed: February 6, 2018Key Points A drug interaction is a reaction between two (or more) drugs or between a drug and a food or beverage. Taking a drug while having certain medical conditions can also cause a drug interaction. For example, taking a nasal decongestant if you have high blood pressure may cause an unwanted reaction. A drug interaction can decrease or increase the action of a drug or cause unwanted side effects. Treatment with HIV medicines (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) helps people with HIV live longer, healthier lives and reduces the risk of HIV transmission. But drug interactions can complicate HIV treatment. Health care providers carefully consider potential drug interactions before recommending an HIV regimen. So before taking HIV medicines, tell your health care provider about all prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take.

Increase in blood CO2 ______ decrease in blood O2 ______ increase in blood p H ______ decrease in blood p H ______ Does CO2 or O2 have a more marked effect on modifying the respiratory rate? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: An increase in blood CO2 increases respiration. A decrease in blood O2 increases respiration. An increase in blood p H (meaning it becomes less acidic, more alkali) decreases respiration. A decrease in blood p H (meaning it becomes more acidic) increases respiration. The body has both peripheral (in the body) and central (in the brain) chemoreceptors that monitor levels of O2, CO2, and p H. The peripheral chemoreceptors are not very sensitive. The central receptors are much more sensitive, but primarily to p H. Thus, the body is much more sensitive to CO2 levels than to O2 levels. This occurs because CO2 and H2O (the primary component of blood) combine to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. This is a weak acid that tends to dissociate in water, forming HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) and releasing Hydrogen ions."

Open Document The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Respiration in Yeast There are two types of respiration in yeast: Aerobic: [IMAGE] Anaerobic: Glucose [IMAGE] Carbon dioxide + ethanol + energy Respiration is controlled by enzymes, which are proteins which speed up one or more biological reactions. Within any cell many chemical reactions are going on at any one time. Yeast has many different types of enzymes that speed up respiration . Prediction I predict that as temperature increases, the rate will also increase, until a certain optimum temperature, after which, the rate will decrease until the rate is zero as respiration has stopped completely. Reason As temperature increases, rate of respiration increases, because particles move faster and with more energy, which in turn means more particles collide with enough energy to react. However, as temperature increases, enzyme stability decreases, so at temperatures above the optimum temperature, the rate will decrease, until all the enzymes have been fully denatured and all the active sites have been lost. Enzymes speed up reactions in organisms. Each enzyme works on a specific substance, called its substrate. The diagram below shows an “E” (an enzyme) catalysing the breakdown of “S” (the substrate) into two different products (“P”). Catalysis occurs because substance S fits precisely into surface of the enzyme E, so this reaction and no others are speeded up."

Topics: Carbon dioxide, Oxygen, Redox Pages: 3 (635 words) Published: March 15, 2013The effect of different temperature on the cell respiration. Introduction： Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP,and then release waste products. The process of cell respiration can take place in the presence or absence of oxygen. In either case,the first stage of cell respiration is glycolysis. The effect of temperature on cell respiration mainly depends on the effect of temperature on of enzyme activity. Generally speaking in a certain temperature range,as the temperature rises, the rate of cellular respiration will enhance, molecules have more motion and activity. On the other hand,as the temperature decreases, the rate of cellular respiration will weaken and molecules have less motion and activity. However, if the temperature is slightly higher than the optimum temperature, the activity of enzyme will start to decreases and the cell respiration will stop. As shown below."

This includes respiration of plant roots, the rhizosphere, microbes and fauna. Soil respiration is a key ecosystem process that releases carbon from the soil in the form of CO 2. CO 2 is acquired from the atmosphere and converted into organic compounds in the process of photosynthesis. Plants use these organic compounds to build structural components or respire them to release energy. When plant respiration occurs below-ground in the roots, it adds to soil respiration. Over time, plant structural components are consumed by heterotrophs. This heterotrophic consumption releases CO 2 and when this CO 2 is released by below-ground organisms, it is considered soil respiration."

As the uterus enlarges during pregnancy, the pressure in the abdominal cavity also increases. As a result, diaphragmatic excursion is limited and can result in more rapid and shallow respirations. Maternal respiratory rate increases approximately two breaths per minute. Shortness of breath and dyspnea, especially in the last trimester, are common as the maternal and fetal demand for oxygen increases."

Anatomy of the Respiratory System The respiratory system is responsible for gaseous exchange between the external atmosphere and the blood. It delivers oxygen to the circulatory system for distribution to all body cells and aids in the removal of carbon dioxide. The major organs of the respiratory system are the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and their smaller branches, and the lungs that contain air sacs called alveoli. The alveoli are the only locations where gas exchange actually occurs; the rest of the respiratory organs function mainly as conducting passageways for air. The nose is the external interface of the respiratory system. Air from the atmosphere enters the respiratory system through the left and right nostrils (external nares) into a nasal cavity that is divided by a midline nasal septum. The nasal passages are lined by a respiratory mucosa, composed mainly of a single layer of cilia-fringed epithelial cells, and interspersed by mucous-producing goblet cells."

Overview The respiratory rate is defined as the number of breaths a person takes during a one-minute period of time while at rest. Recent studies suggest that an accurate recording of respiratory rate is very important in predicting serious medical events; studies also suggest that measurements of respiratory rate are not done as often as they should be, so it's been coined the “ignored vital sign. ”Measuring Respiratory Rate Respiratory rate is measured by counting the number of breaths a person takes in a one-minute period. Since many factors can affect the results, understanding how to take an accurate measurement is very important. The rate should be measured at rest, not after someone has been up and walking about. Being aware that your breaths are being counted can make the results inaccurate, as people often alter the way they breathe if they know it's being monitored."

This is similar to a situation where expenses are more than income. Exactly what happens when animal body doesn't get enough food for energy synthesis is what will happen in plants. Photosynthesis is an anabolic pathway. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from soil get converted to glucose in plants in the presence of sunlight. This glucose acts as food in plants. Respiration is a catabolic pathway. The glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water by using oxygen to release energy. This process is similar to the process of digestion in animals where a complex molecule is broken down into simple molecules."

An HSA a tax-favored savings account that is used in combination with a high deductible health insurance plan. The money in the account helps pay the deductible as well as any other eligible medical expenses—including coinsurance—that may not be covered by the plan once the deductible has been met. An HSA is similar to an individual retirement account (IRA), because it too can be invested in a variety of investment vehicles, while accumulating tax-free interest. The advantage of an HSA compared to an IRA is that the funds from the HSA are not taxed when they are withdrawn to pay for qualified medical expenses. The following requirements must be met: Minimum deductible: $1,250 individual; $2,500 family Out-of-pocket maximum (includes deductible): $5,000 individual; $10,000 family No services paid for prior to meeting deductible (except for preventive care)No deductible required for preventive care For family coverage: family deductible must be met before any reimbursement can be made No prescription drug copayments Higher limits allowed for non-participating provider services What are the advantages of an HSA?"

If you are the beneficiary of a health savings account (HSA), then the IRS requires you to prepare Form 8889 with your tax return before you can deduct your contributions to the account. The purpose of the form is to report your deductible contributions, calculate the deduction, report the distributions you take to pay medical expenses and to calculate the tax you must pay on withdrawals you make for non-medical related purposes. How an HSA works An HSA allows you to make annual tax-deductible contributions up to $3,350 for individual plans or up to $6,750 for family plans (as of 2017) to help pay out-of-pocket medical expenses in the future. If you are age 55 or older, you can make an additional $1,000 \"\"catch-up\"\" contribution, which is also tax-deductible. The money grows tax-deferred for as long as it’s held in the account, and all withdrawals you make to pay for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. This means you can pay for your medical expenses with tax-free dollars. However, this money is only tax-free if you file Form 8889 with your tax return.

"text": "\"A Health Savings Account (HSA) is like a personal savings account, but the money is used only for qualified health care expenses. The account can be set up with you as the sole beneficiary, or for you plus your spouse and/or dependents. Established in 2003 as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act, HSAs allow people with High-Deductible Health Plans to pay for current healthcare expenses and save for future expenses on a tax-favored basis. Here, we look at the eligibility requirements, pros and cons and other important details about Health Savings Plans. Eligibility To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a special health insurance plan called a High-Deductible Health Plan, or HDHP. While these plans have high deductibles, monthly premiums are typically much less than for plans with lower deductibles, which makes them appealing to people trying to minimize up-front costs associated with healthcare. HDHPs are intended to cover serious illness or injury, and with the exception of preventive care (such as annual physicals, child and adult immunizations, and screening services), your annual deductible must be met before any plan benefits are paid. According to federal guidelines, you can open and contribute to an HSA if you are: Covered under a HDHP on the first day of the month Not covered by any other non-HDHP plan (with some exceptions for certain plans with limited coverage, such as dental, vision and disability)Not enrolled in Medicare Not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return The IRS establishes guidelines (adjusted for inflation) for HSAs and HDHPs each year, based on individual and family coverage. For 2014, all HDHPs must have a minimum deductible of $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for families. The out-of-pocket maximum (including deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance, but not premiums) cannot exceed $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families. ("

Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), unused money in your HSA isn’t forfeited at the end of the year; it continues to grow tax-deferred. Why High Deductible Health Insurance? To get the benefits of an HSA, the law requires that the savings account be combined with a qualified high deductible health insurance plan which can cost less than other health insurance plans."

"text": "\"Benefits Health Care Consumerism: HSAs and HRAs By Stephen Miller, CEBSMay 2, 2016The information below is excerpted, in part, from a longer SHRM article, Consumer-Driven Decision: Weighing HSAs vs. HRAs. Updated March 6. 2018C onsumer-directed health plans (CDHPs) typically combine a health insurance plan with a tax-advantaged account that enrollees can use to pay for medical expenses—most commonly a health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Enrollees in CDHPs, whether linked to an HSA or HRA, must keep track of funds in their accounts. If the account's funds are exhausted before the deductible is met in a given year, enrollees are responsible for paying for the difference out of pocket until they meet the plan deductible. After an enrollee meets the deductible, the plan operates much like a traditional preferred-provider organization (PPO) plan. That is, generally the plan pays for most of the cost of covered services and the enrollee contributes a cost-sharing amount—which varies by plan—until meeting the maximum out-of-pocket spending limit, at which point the plan pays 100 percent of the cost of covered services. HSAs vs. HRAs: Requirements and Features Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs)Plan Design• HSAs must be linked to a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). For 2017, HSA-linked HDHPs must have an individual deductible of $1,300 or higher, or a family deductible of $2,600 or higher. For 2018, the individual deductible must be at least $1,350 and a family deductible must be at least $2,700.• HSAs have maximum total out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses."

"text": "What is the Best Health Insurance Plan? Ads by +Health Network2018 Health Insurance Affordable Care Act Plans Obamacare Health Plans In our opinion, the best health plan is a high deductible Silver plan obtained on the Health Insurance Marketplace. This is due to the plan being eligible for an HSA (Health Savings Account), as well as both Premium Tax Credits and Cost Sharing Reductions subsidies. While the high deductible may seem off-putting at first compared to lower deductible plans, the advantages of an HSA actually outweigh the perks of having a lower deductible. Keep in mind “high deductible” encompasses a large range of deductibles (see different types of Silver plans heading below). When we compare high deductible health plans, it’s hard to argue against the flexibility of a Silver plan, it’s the only plan that qualifies for all cost assistance types!Even if you don’t qualify for cost assistance now, a Marketplace plan allows you to claim tax credits if that changes throughout the year. The biggest drawback to Silver plans is that they can have narrow networks. Typically wider network plans have higher premiums. This can vary from region to region, so make sure to compare Silver plan networks. At the end of the day, choosing the right plan involves knowing your families medical needs."

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Dec 1, 2016 at 8:03AMHealth savings accounts are designed to help people who have health insurance policies with high deductibles to set money aside to help pay medical expenses. If you qualify to have an HSA, you can contribute up to a certain amount of money each year and deduct it from your taxes. Yet that's only the beginning of the tax benefits that HSAs offer. Let's take a look at the annual changes that will take effect for HSAs in 2017 and why you should look into HSAs if you're eligible. Image source: Getty Images.2017 HSA changes There are relatively few changes for health savings accounts in 2017 compared to 2016. Because inflation adjustments have been minimal, most of the requirements for HSAs and their related high-deductible health plans or HDHPs remain unchanged. In particular, what qualifies as an HDHP remains the same, with the same minimum deductible and maximum out-of-pocket expense limits applying as did in 2016. Only a modest change in contribution limits for self-only coverage takes effect in 2017. HSA Feature Limit for 2017 HSAs Change From 2016 Limits Maximum HSA contribution- self-only/family coverage$3,400/$6,750Up $50/unchanged Minimum annual deductible for HDHPs-self-only/family coverage$1,300/$2,600Unchanged Maximum annual out-of-pocket expenses-self-only/family coverage$6,550/$13,100Unchanged Table by author.

Bush signed the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (P. L. 108-173). HSAs are tax-free financial accounts that are designed to help individuals save for future health care expenses. HSAs also are an expansion and evolution of Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs), which were launched in over 20 states and in a federal pilot program in the mid-1990s. Because of federal laws and guidance residents in all 50 states and most territories can use HSAs and associated high-deductible plans, described below. State laws and regulations passed in 2004-10, and a few more recently, also play a role in the use of health savings accounts, through insurance regulation, measures that encourage development or offering of HSAs and/or laws that provide state tax exemptions to parallel federal tax treatment.

Chronic constipation accounts for 13.7 million days of restricted activity, and 60% of persons with chronic constipation report their ability to work is compromised because of their symptoms. 4,5Constipation affects more people than does hypertension, migraine, diabetes, asthma, and coronary heart disease. 6,7More laxative prescriptions are written each year than for antihypertensives or birth control pills. 8Although the condition is not typically life-threatening, constipation poses a substantial challenge for patients, who not only cope with the consequences to their physical health but also suffer from its debilitating impact on their quality of life. Data from a study released in 2002 in the American Journal of Gastroenterology illustrated the effect of constipation on patients' quality of life. 9 In the study, Irvine and colleagues used the Short Form 36 (SF-36) self-questionnaire to gauge health-related quality of life in more than 1000 patients with either self-reported constipation or no reported functional gastrointestinal disorders."

The whole Latin name of rectum is rectus intestinum, which means “straight intestine.” It is part of the digestive system whose main function is to store digestive wastes until the time a person is ready to defecate. In humans, the rectum has a length of about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm). At the junction between the sigmoid colon and the rectum, it has a circumference of about 6 inches (15 cm). The circumference increases to about 14 inches (35 cm) at the rectal ampulla, which is its terminal portion. This ampulla looks like a pear or a balloon, and provides a large storage capacity. The rectal walls expand as the rectum becomes filled with waste materials from the digestive system. This expansion stimulates the stretch receptors located on the walls, which in turn trigger an involuntary urge to defecate."

Some of the symptoms include: Lower abdominal discomfort A sense of incomplete evacuation (the feeling that you still have to \"\"go\"\") after a bowel movement Straining to have a bowel movement Hard or small stools Rectal bleeding and/or anal fissures caused by hard stools Physiological distress and/or obsession with having bowel movements. Constipation usually is caused by the slow movement of material through the colon (large bowel). The two disorders limited to the colon that cause constipation are colonic inertia and pelvic floor dysfunction. There are many causes of and associations with constipation, for example, medications; poor bowel habits; low fiber diets; possibly abuse of laxatives; hormonal disorders; diseases primarily of other parts of the body that also affect the colon; and high levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy. Individuals should seek medical care if constipation is of sudden onset, severe, worsening, associated with other worrisome symptoms such as loss of weight, or is not responding to simple, safe and effective treatments. Tests to diagnose the cause of constipation may include a medical history, physical examination, blood tests, abdominal X-rays, barium enema, colonic transit studies, defecography, anorectal motility studies, and colonic motility studies. The goal of therapy for constipation is one bowel movement every two to three days without straining. Treatment may include foods high in fiber, non-stimulant laxatives, stimulant laxatives, enemas, suppositories, biofeedback training, prescription medications, and surgery. Stimulant laxatives, including herbal products, should be used as a last resort because they might damage the colon and worsen constipation."

"text": "Lazy Bowel Syndrome and Treating Sluggish Bowel Movements Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Normal bowel movements vary in frequency from person to person – it is accepted that passing stool anywhere from 2 times a day to 3 times a week is the norm. The terms ‘lazy bowel’ or ‘sluggish bowel’ are commonly attributed to constipation. These terms can sometimes be misleading because not every case of constipation is due to slow gastrointestinal motility. An obstruction / constriction within the bowels and various factors (physiological, pathological and psychological) that may impair the defecation reflexes also contribute to constipation with affecting gastrointestinal motility. Constipation can be defined by three factors :infrequent bowel movements with passing stool less than three times in a weekbowel movement associated with great difficulty and strainingpassing of dry, hard feces What is Lazy Bowel Syndrome? Lazy bowel syndrome is a term that has been coined to describe constipation following the long term and/or excessive use of laxatives. It is a rebound effect (secondary action) of using these drugs but may also just be an exacerbation of a pre-existing problem. Lazy bowel syndrome is commonly seen in those with certain types of eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa and bulimia, where laxative use is seen as a means of purging and used in excess even if the person did not suffer with constipation. Subsequent cessation of laxative use reveals a severe constipation. Sluggish Bowel With a sluggish bowel, the defecation reflexes and colonic motility are impaired in constipation."

There also should be no pus, blood, mucus or undigested food in it. A TCM physician usually notes the frequency, form and color of the stool as well as the accompanying feelings during defecation. Nature of stool An offensive odor of stool pertains to heat accumulation. Dry, dark-brown stool means excessive heat is present in the large intestine. Loose stools with a fishy odor pertain to excessive cold in the intestines. Extremely dry and hard stool is often seen in a deficiency of blood or body fluids. Loose bowels with shapeless stool usually are due to deficiency cold in the spleen and stomach. Initial discharge of a hard stool and then discharge of a loose stool can be seen in dampness accumulation caused by a spleen deficiency."

However, the amount your dog may defecate on a single day depends on several factors.share this page: Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest These include how much they have eaten in the last 24 hours, fibre content of the diet, individual variation, age of the dog (puppies tend to defecate more frequently than adult dogs). Chances are that if your dog is maintaining a good weight, and the feces are of normal consistency (ie. not loose or hard) and your dog isn’t having trouble defecating or straining to defecate, then there is absolutely nothing to worry about. If your dog is defecating very frequently, especially if these motions are loose or contain spots of fresh blood or mucus, there may be a medical problem such as colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. Ensure your dog is wormed regularly as well. If your dog isn’t defecating daily then it could be due to constipation, although other signs would be expected such as straining to defecate or the passing of dry, solid feces. If your dog hasn’t eaten much then this could be another reason and it should be determined why your dog is off their food."

Their dogs might urinate, defecate, bark, howl, chew, dig or try to escape. Although these problems often indicate that a dog needs to be taught polite house manners, they can also be symptoms of distress. When a dog’s problems are accompanied by other distress behaviors, such as drooling and showing anxiety when his pet parents prepare to leave the house, they aren’t evidence that the dog isn’t house trained or doesn’t know which toys are his to chew. Instead, they are indications that the dog has separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is triggered when dogs become upset because of separation from their guardians, the people they’re attached to. Escape attempts by dogs with separation anxiety are often extreme and can result in self- injury and household destruction, especially around exit points like windows and doors. Some dogs suffering from separation anxiety become agitated when their guardians prepare to leave."

It actually caused by an accumulation of hardened stools due to infrequent bowel movement. There is no specific diagnostic exam for obstipation. Medical professionals just used the patient’s medical history and the presenting signs and symptoms to identify the disease. Symptoms of Obstipation The clinical features shown can deceive or mislead the disease. Obstruction cannot be identified immediately without further diagnostic analysis. Obstipation presents as: Constipation Abdominal distention Abdominal pain Painful cramps Nausea and Vomiting Bloating Indigestion Fever Hard stools every 3-5 days or Diarrhea that might be accompanied with blood in the stools Loss of appetite Tachycardia Increase bowel sounds Hiccups Causes of Obstipation The intestines are composed of large and small intestines which are the longest parts in alimentary tract."

"text": "Lazy Bowel Syndrome Symptoms, Causes, Treatment What is lazy bowel syndrome? Lazy bowel syndrome refers to an abnormally low frequency of bowel movements. The condition is also referred to as “sluggish colon”, “slow transit colon” or “slow transit constipation”. The frequency of bowel movements in the human population varies considerably. Three-times a day to three times a week is a generally accepted range for the normal frequency of bowel movements. On the other hand, a person suffering from lazy bowel syndrome has a frequency of bowel movements that is less than two or three times a week. This is also frequently accompanied by constipation and other symptoms. According to some estimates, 15 to 30% of constipation cases are caused by slow transit constipation. Lazy bowel syndrome can occur in any age group and can affect both sexes. However, the women and the elderly are the most affected groups."

This distension ofi the rectal wall stimulates stretch receptors, which results in this. How does the defecation reflex occur? in response to the distention of the rectal wall, the receptors send sensory nerve impulses to the sacral spinal cord. Motor impulses from the cord travel along parasympathetic nerves back to the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus. The resulting contraction of the longitudinal rectal muscles shortens the rectum, thereby increasing the pressure within it. This then opens the internal sphincter."

A blumpkin is the slang term for fellatio, or oral sex, given to a recipient who is defecating in a toilet.1 Giving or receiving a blumpkin is often viewed as an eccentric sexual act; the term is often used jokingly and a simple web search will bring up many different Urban Dictionary ( UD) definitions of the word. As UD describes, a blumpkin is “the delicately balanced art of getting your cock sucked while taking a dump. ”2How Does a Blumpkin Happen? For a blumpkin to take place, a male sits on the toilet while his male or female partner kneels down in front of him. The partner gives the sitting male a blowjob while he empties his bowels.2Legend or Real? Receiving a blumpkin is often seen as a rare, legendary conquest that young males joke about. It is unknown how commonly practiced this act truly is, as it is portrayed more often as a joke than a real sexual interaction.3 There is not much information online regarding blumpkins due to the confusion about and lack of scientific studies available on the topic. As such, this article will try to provide as much accurate information as possible on blumpkins. Potential Dangers Associated With Blumpkins Giving someone a blowjob while they are defecating on the toilet can be a very unsanitary situation."

"text": "Puppies have their behavior problems, and older dogs have theirs. For older dogs, in many cases it is not that they do not understand the 'rules,' but that they may, for many reasons, be unable to follow them. Separation anxiety Separation anxiety is one of the most common behavior problems seen in older dogs. A dog who has separation anxiety will become very anxious when he senses his owner is about to leave. When the owner does leave, the dog often becomes destructive, barks or howls, may urinate or defecate, and may salivate profusely. A dog with separation anxiety will often be overly exhuberant when his owner returns. Older dogs may have a decreased ability to cope with changes in routine. Vision or hearing loss may make them more anxious, overall, but especially when they are separated from the owner. Neurologic changes may also limit an older dog's ability to adjust to change. Some of the main considerations in treating separation anxiety are: Do not make a big deal about leaving or coming home - that simply reinforces the behavior."

When this started, the doctor advised us to give him Miralax to make his stool softer so it comes out more easily. Even with the Miralax, he still managed to hold it for two days at a time sometimes, but at least it was coming out at all, so we continued with it. Anyway, we've been giving him the Miralax for months now, and now he's (supposed to be) going to preschool in September, which of course requires that he be potty trained. We don't want to hold him back since he's developmentally ready otherwise, so we started potty training a few weeks ago. He picked up the potty training really quickly – for peeing – but he still holds his poop in no matter what. If he's sitting on the potty, as soon as he's about to do it, he stands up and just keeps holding it in (and once he starts to stand, if we even so much as ask him to sit back down, he screams and cries). We have tried everything to convince him (or distract him enough) to sit and poop: reading books, singing songs, playing games, playing with toys, offering him snacks/treats (graham crackers), giving him stickers, etc. Nothing works."

A new attitude. A new scheme. But how does the current personnel fit with Dan Quinn's scheme? How do the athletes match up in Atlanta compared to the ones that Quinn had in Seattle? That's what most people will wonder. After the draft and free agency brought in specific schematic and athletic fits, it only makes sense to review the roster and see who the best fits are at each spot. In doing so, the idea is to have the right fit for each spot within the defense. Quinn runs an off-set 4-3 defense, where one side is overloaded with linebackers and the other has an extra defensive lineman. He generally shades his linebackers to the strong side and his linemen to the weak side, called an \"\"under\"\" alignment."

Despite the Cowboys having the best odds in the NFC for several months now, the Falcons are the new odds-on favorite after beating the Seahawks handily, 36-20, during Saturday night's divisional round matchup in the Georgia Dome. NFL Playoffs TV schedule Updated bracket Playoffs: Latest lines Breech's divisional picks Prisco's divisional picks Before the divisional round, the Pats were the clear Super Bowl favorites. They still are, especially after advancing past their \"\"second bye\"\" against the Texans on Saturday night. But the Cowboys, who were the No. 2 team prior to the divisional round, are not there any more. The math is really simple: the Falcons won on Saturday and the Cowboys are playing Sunday. With one less game to play and a guaranteed spot in the NFC title matchup, the Falcons are a better bet right now. If the Cowboys win, they'll slide back in front of the Falcons, but for right now the Falcons are the odds-on favorite to win the NFC. The Cowboys are expected to be a five-point favorite over the Falcons if they host the NFC Championship Game."

"text": "The playoffs are upon us, and the Philadelphia Eagles have more than two weeks to find a fire that, at least offensively, they lacked in Monday’s Christmas Day victory. When they do return to the field for the Divisional Round of postseason play, they’ll be matched up with either the No. 4-, No. 5- or No. 6-seeded NFC team. ( If the season ended today, that would mean the Eagles would be exempt from playing the Los Angeles Rams, the No. 3 seed, in their first playoff game. ) A couple of things are still at play in Week 17 of the regular season. While the Eagles figure to use their finale against the Dallas Cowboys as both a chance to give certain starters additional reps and a chance to rest many others, here’s what’s on the table entering the last week of the year: The Rams can clinch the No. 3 seed with a win vs. the 49ers or losses by both the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints."

The Patriots and Tom Brady won't say it, but they are now officially one game away from getting the ultimate revenge on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. If the Patriots can knock off the Falcons in Super Bowl LI, it will set the stage for what could go down as the most awkward trophy ceremony of all-time as Goodell will have to either hand the Lombardi Trophy to Tom Brady, Patriots owner Robert Kraft or coach Bill Belichick. More on Super Bowl LIHow to watch, stream51 things to know Latest on halftime Ranking Super Bowls Leaked commercials The trophy usually goes to the owner, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Kraft to defer to Brady, especially since Brady was forced to miss the first four games of the 2016 season thanks to Goodell's punishment for Deflategate. Taking home the Lombardi Trophy won't be easy though. If the Belichick and the Patriots want to take home their fifth trophy, they're going to have to knock off the high-flying Falcons. For the past six weeks, the Falcons have been blowing by everyone: Atlanta has scored at least 33 points in each of its past six games, which includes four regular season games and two playoff games. Of course, the Super Bowl is different. Many teams have struggled because the moment gets too big, which is something the Falcons will need to avoid. The game against the Patriots will mark Atlanta's first appearance in the Super Bowl since a 34-19 loss to the Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII back in January 1999."

He earned a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee the following year and started at left guard during his sophomore year in 1988. He was moved to right offensive tackle before his junior year as a Tennessee Volunteer and earned unanimous All-American honors as a senior in 1990. He finished as a finalist for the 1990 Outland Trophy as well, and was drafted by the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles as the eighth overall selection in the 1991 NFL Draft. Davis played for five seasons with the Eagles, who traded two first-round draft picks to pick Davis. In his rookie season in 1991, he started in fifteen games, missing one start in week seven due to his benching. He started in fifteen games again in 1992, missing one game due to a knee sprain. Davis started in every game for the Eagles in 1993 at right tackle, but was moved inside to left guard in 1994 following the team's pick of tackle Bernard Williams in the 1994 NFL Draft."

With a win Sunday, the Panthers will clinch the NFC South and the second seed in the NFC. The Falcons have had many weaknesses exposed in recent weeks—from missed tackles to the inability to stop big plays. Atlanta's cracks have been shown. Carolina holds the advantage going into Sunday's matchup and is in great shape to gain some momentum as the playoffs begin. Run De Angelo Ragged Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAThe Panthers do a handful of things well but none quite as well as running the ball. De Angelo Williams has put up great numbers over the past few weeks, posting 148 rushing yards and two total touchdowns in his past two games. Atlanta ha s allowed 100-plus rushing yards every week since Week 4, including 131 yards to the Panthers in their first meeting. The Falcons are the 31st-ranked run defense in the league, setting Williams up for a big game.

"text": "Sports Here’s How the Patriots Won Their Fifth Super Bowl By BENJAMIN HOFFMAN FEB. 5, 2017Running back James White celebrated one of his three touchdowns. Doug Mills/The New York Times A new standard has been set, as Tom Brady of the New England Patriots became the first quarterback in N. F. L. history to win five Super Bowls, leading his team to a 34-28 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. It looked like a blowout in Atlanta’s favor, with the Falcons racing to a 28-3 lead, but Brady, who had endured a great deal of pressure for much of the game, held tight and reeled off 25 consecutive points before the overtime period, getting a great deal of help from a circus catch by Julian Edelman that will help erase the Patriots’ painful memory of being sunk by David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII. After forcing the first overtime in Super Bowl history, the Patriots got the ball first and, as they have done so many times in Brady’s career, marched down the field, going 75 yards on eight plays, winning on James White’s 2-yard touchdown run. Super Bowl LI Box Score“We all brought each other back,” said Brady, who was named Super Bowl M. V. P. for a record fourth time. “ We never felt out of it. ”Danny Amendola, who caught the 2-point conversion that tied the score in regulation, did not hesitate to say that the win was Brady’s crowning achievement. “He was the same as he always is: cool, calm and collected,” Amendola said. “ He’s the leader, the general, the best ever and that is the end of the story."

"text": "\"NFL Mock Draft, Version 6: How all seven rounds will play out Peter Schrager @PSchrags Apr 29, 2015 at 11:30a ETWe’re down to crunch time. I’ve spent the past few months speaking to several NFL decision-makers, getting to know many of the top prospects personally, and watching their respective workouts. In addition to attending five pro days this year, I’ve been with most of the league’s top front-office executives at the Senior Bowl, the NFL Draft Scouting Combine and the NFL Owners Meetings in Arizona. Opinions on the NFL Draft seem to differ from source to source and it changes every single day. Doing a full seven-round mock draft is a labor of love, and one I enjoy doing each year. Trades end up throwing off a lot of it, but I landed more than 70 percent of the top 100 picks last year (pats self on back) and nailed six players to the right six teams despite a bevy of moves on the first day. I will have one final mock draft, just one round, up on FOXSports.com Thursday morning. But here’s the grand-daddy of them all — seven rounds of goodness. Of course, a lot can change between now and Thursday evening, but for now, consider this the blueprint. Dig in."

Let's learn about the poetical form of the ballad and examine two of the most famous English ballads. We will learn about the common traits of ballads and how they relate to modern music. Definition A ballad is a type of poem that is sometimes set to music. Ballads have a long history and are found in many cultures. The ballad actually began as a folk song and continues today in popular music. Many love songs today can be considered ballads. A typical ballad consists of stanzas that contain a quatrain, or four poetic lines. The meter or rhythm of each line is usually iambic, which means it has one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable."

"text": "\"Types of Ballads By Gary R. Hess. Category: Poetry Have you ever wanted to know what a ballad is? Whether for school research or simply because you heard the word before, this page should help you find out all you need to know about this simple type of poem. This page is for learning all about the poetry form called \"\"ballad\"\", a centuries old genre filled with tributes, history, and mystery. What is a Ballad? A ballad is a short narrative poem which is written to be sung and has a simple but dramatic theme. Ballads can be of love, death, the supernatural or even a combination of the three. Many ballads also contain a moral which is expressed (most often) in the final stanza. Ballads are rhythmic saga of past happenings, which may be of heroic, satirical, romantic, political (although affected by the previous three and refers to the glorifying the exploits or causes of a leader or group, usually about a totalitarian system), catastrophic (which is related to in third person).

"text": "\"Sinatra! An Artistic and Historical Overview By Phillip D. Atteberry This material is copyrighted and was originally published in The Mississippi Rag, June, 1998. [ For a Czech translation of this page, see Sandra Knudsen's site]More biographies have been written about Frank Sinatra than any other figure in popular music, and yet we know so little about him. He has granted few interviews over the years, and those have been guarded. We surmise--but we do not know--that his penchant for bullying was in part a response to being bullied in his Hoboken youth. We surmise--but we do not know--that his legendary woman troubles were replays of a tempestuous, love/hate relationship with his mother. We surmise--but we do not know--that beneath the marquee lights, behind the stage doors, between the lines of newsprint, within the lyrics of a song lies a human experience worth pursuing. But we do not know. As Sinatra grew older, the name burned brighter and the man grew fainter, until at the end he was a phantom being whisked from place to place in ambulances and black limousines. How different from Bing Crosby, whose personality emerged more clearly as the years passed, who died laughing, smoking his pipe, and playing golf."

Michael Comte Share Culture Laura Pergolizzi, better known by her stage name LP, is not new to the music business. But after seven aborted record deals and writing a string of hits for other artists like Rihanna and the Backstreet Boys, she is finally gaining mainstream recognition for her own music. LP’s song “Lost on You” expresses the pained realization that her relationship is going nowhere and she has devoted years of her life to a doomed romance. In 2016, the searing ballad struck the right notes with heartbroken lovers across Europe as it topped music charts in France, Poland, Greece, Serbia, Switzerland and Turkey. The accompanying music video has also racked an impressive 92 million streams on You Tube across the globe. Now, LP is launching the track in her native U. S. and the U. K., where she hopes it will have similar success. “I was with an English woman for five or six years,” the singer tells Newsweek of the song’s origins. “ I did a show at Carnegie Hall [in New York], a Paul Simon tribute show, and I delved into his material. I wanted a deep song about love that was more adult."

"text": "\"Section Navigation Home Study Guides The Rime of the Ancient Mariner About The Rime of the Ancient Mariner The Rime of the Ancient Marinerby Samuel Coleridge Buy Study Guide The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Study Guide Coleridge first published his famous ballad, \"\" The Rime of the Ancient Mariner \"\", in Lyrical Ballads, his 1798 joint effort with his close friend and colleague William Wordsworth. The collection's publication is often seen as the Romantic Movement's true inception. It was published anonymously - a move that contradicted its intensely personal and subjective contents. Purportedly, \"\"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner \"\" was to be a joint effort on both poets' parts; Coleridge attributed the shooting of the albatross as well as several lines to Wordsworth. Nineteen years later, in 1817, he published an edited version of the poem in his collection entitled Sibylline Leaves. The poem's first version went against the emerging Romantic tradition of writing in contemporary, unrhymed language, something Wordsworth championed in his \"\"Tintern Abbey,\"\" also published in Lyrical Ballads. Coleridge maintained that his use of a loose rhyme scheme and archaic language in \"\"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner\"\" was deliberate and scholarly, intended to provoke thought about the use of such devices and invoke a sort of literary timelessness. However, the pressures of the genre he was helping to define may have contributed to his ultimate decision to remove much of the archaism from the poem for several revisions in the early years of the 19th century. In the 1817 version of the poem, Coleridge added another layer to the poem in the form of marginal glosses. These explanations not only amplify the allegorical feel of the poem, but work in place of the omitted archaisms to establish a nostalgic, fictitiously historical mood."

A decade after Frank Sinatra recorded \"\"It Had To Be You\"\", it turned up in the blockbuster romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally. There's a lot of songs in the film - Ella and Louis, Allman Brothers, Ray Charles... It was 1989, and we were in the early stages of what I think of as the age of jukebox scoring, in which directors fill up the movie with bits of their favorite pop songs. But Rob Reiner uses the whole Sinatra track - everything from intro to final fade: Billy May's orchestral opening finds Harry (Billy Crystal) walking along the street, alone on New Year's Eve. As the vocal starts, Harry stops at a shop window. The verse is a series of questions (\"\"Why must I do just as you say?\"\") that Harry, contemplating his reflection in the glass, is asking of himself. By the time Frank is singing about \"\"that something lovers call fate\"\" telling him \"\"I had to wait\"\", Harry is walking on, discarding his ice-cream cone in a trash can, and turning his head on the first line of the chorus: It Had To Be You It Had To Be You... And we're in flashback: Harry and Sally meeting all those years earlier at college, sitting on a plane, strolling Central Park, faking orgasm in the diner - the whole plot replayed to Sinatra's vocal. By the instrumental, they're dancing cheek to cheek. It's a wisecracky kind of a film, but not here: between Billy May's intro and outro, Harry has to understand that he really does love Sally and has to be with her. So the song bears a major dramatic burden - which is why Reiner went with Sinatra and \"\"It Had To Be You\"\"."

"text": "If you’re American, geographically inclined and a bit of a stickler, this cartographic incongruity is a bit of an annoyance. From the US, the shortest route to what’s conventionally called ‘the East’ is in fact via the west. Going in that direction, you’ll hit the ‘Far East’ before you’re in the ‘Middle East’. And Europe, or at least that part usually included in ‘the West’, lies due east. So East is west, and West is east, in blatant contradiction of what’s probably Rudyard Kipling’s most famous line of verse: Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet This opening line of The Ballad of East and West is often quoted to underline some insurmountable difference between the two hemispheres. It has almost invariably been misused. Taken as a whole, the Ballad has a subtler message than the one implied in this single verse. It attributes the gap between the two cultures more to nurture than nature. The entire couplet (which also closes the poem) reads: Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat;But there is neither East nor West, Border nor Breed nor Birth,When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!The poem dates from 1889 and is set in the British Raj. At least here the context is pretty clear: Britain is the West, India the East."

Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich in 1978American singer Elvis Presley in the 1957 musical-film Jailhouse Rock During the 20th century there was a vast increase in the variety of music that people had access to. Prior to the invention of mass market gramophone records (developed in 1892) and radio broadcasting (first commercially done ca. 1919–20), people mainly listened to music at live Classical music concerts or musical theatre shows, which were too expensive for many lower-income people; on early phonograph players (a technology invented in 1877 which was not mass-marketed until the mid-1890s); or by individuals performing music or singing songs on an amateur basis at home, using sheet music, which required the ability to sing, play, and read music. These were skills that tended to be limited to middle-class and upper-class individuals. With the mass-market availability of gramophone records and radio broadcasts, listeners could purchase recordings of, or listen on radio to recordings or live broadcasts of a huge variety of songs and musical pieces from around the globe. This enabled a much wider range of the population to listen to performances of Classical music symphonies and operas that they would not be able to hear live, either due to not being able to afford live-concert tickets or because such music was not performed in their region. Sound recording was also a major influence on the development of popular music genres, because it enabled recordings of songs and bands to be inexpensively and widely distributed nationwide or even, for some artists, worldwide. The development of relatively inexpensive reproduction of music via a succession of formats including vinyl records, compact cassettes, compact discs (introduced in 1983) and, by the mid-1990s, digital audio recordings, and the transmission or broadcast of audio recordings of music performances on radio, of video recordings or live performances on television, and by the 1990s, of audio and video recordings via the Internet, using file sharing of digital audio recordings, gave individuals from a wide range of socioeconomic classes access to a diverse selection of high-quality music performances by artists from around the world. [ 1] The introduction of multitrack recording in 1955 and the use of mixing had a major influence on pop and rock music, because it enabled record producers to mix and overdub many layers of instrument tracks and vocals, creating new sounds that would not be possible in a live performance.

"text": "\"Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798 Introduction In A Nutshell\"\"Tintern Abbey\"\" is probably the most famous poem by one of the most famous British Romantic poets. William Wordsworth was writing during the British Romantic period (critics always disagree about how exactly to define the beginning and end of the Romantic period, but suffice to say that it was from around 1785-1820). The Romantic period wasn't so named because the poets wrote a lot about love, but because they were interested in Nature, Beauty, Truth, and all kinds of emotions that you could capitalize to mark as Very Important. The Romantics included poets, novelists, and even some philosophers and other non-fiction writers. In short, it was a complicated and many-sided movement. But, for our purposes here, we're going to focus on it as a literary movement. There are six principal poets associated with the movement: William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. The first three (Blake, Coleridge, and Wordsworth) get the credit for starting the movement, while the last three (Byron, Shelley, and Keats), who were younger, get the credit for carrying the movement forward. So our man Wordsworth was just one of many poets and writers producing work during this relatively short period, but he stands out for a lot of reasons. First of all, he was one of the people who really got the movement rolling."

Not an easy question, as the delimitation of music genres can be very tricky ! Especially \"\"pop\"\", which can also be understood as the adjective \"\"popular\"\" according to the context. But if I had to explain it in a VERY simplified way, I would say that basically : Rock - it comes from rock'n roll, which at first was basically blues with a faster tempo. - it oftens features the use of guitar (s), electric bass, drums - it's nicely raw, maybe even nasty - important rythm section Pop (as a genre) - it is a hybrid type of music. If you listen to stuff like Andy Williams, it is pop (ular) music, that came from folklore influences I believe. To me, the Beatles and the Beach Boys were one of the most important acts in the genesis of modern pop music, even if they actually started by playing rock'n roll (the Beatles), and gradually loosen the structure. World music, folk, soul, swing, jazz, traditionnal pop music were important influences as well. - for the instrumentation, it's way wider than rock.

The band's best work spans the '70s and the '80s, encompassing everything from guitar-driven hard rock to straight ballads, and incorporating elements of progressive rock, metal, classical music and even techno-pop. From unemployment anthems and songs about the state of America, to romantic ballads and songs about robots, the group had a little something for just about everyone -- as you'll see on our list of the Top 10 Styx Songs:10'Suite Madame Blue'From: 'Equinox' (1975)Styx singer/keyboardist Dennis De Young wrote 'Suite Madame Blue' in 1975 for the impending American Bicentennial. The song is a perfect blend of all of Styx' most important elements, bringing together a melodic verse, massive Sabbath-esque guitar riffing, and impressive synth and guitar solos from De Young and James \"\"JY\"\" Young to form a track that is undeniably one of the Top 10 Styx Songs.9'Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)'From: 'The Grand Illusion' (1977)Guitarist Tommy Shaw scored his first real hit with this airy track, which showcases the progressive side of Styx, balancing Shaw's acoustic singer-songwriter roots with Dennis De Young's keyboard wizardry. De Young dominates the track musically, topping it off with a pair of jaw-dropping keyboard solos, while Styx' unique triple-layered harmony onslaught provides the icing on the musical cake.8'Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)'From: 'Pieces of Eight' (1978)Written by Shaw after a conversation with a friend who had been laid off, 'Blue Collar Man' represents the heavier side of Styx, with crunchy power chords in the rhythm track and a flashy guitar solo. De Young contributed the track's signature distorted organ riff, and a prototypical arena rock anthem was born.7'Lady'From: 'Styx II' (1973)This failed single from Styx' sophomore album got a second chance in 1975, when it landed at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. De Young wrote the song, the first of many for his wife. Musically 'Lady' is the paradigm for a sound that became Styx' signature, with a classical piano figure in the verse and heavy guitars in the chorus. ' Lady' not only introduced the world to Styx' trademark blaring vocal triads, it launched the group's career, easily earning its spot in the Top 10 Styx Songs.6'The Best of Times'From: 'Paradise Theatre' (1981)With this rock ballad, De Young accomplished the difficult task of marrying a romantic lyrical theme with social commentary.

For real-life restaurant cooks, things are different. In most cases the hours are long, the stress levels high and the pay relatively low. Those who become the head chef at a restaurant can expect to earn a reasonable salary, but it takes many years to arrive at that point. National Averages The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks chefs and head cooks separately from line cooks. The bureau reports an average income of $46,600 per year or $22.40 per hour for chefs as of May 2011. The lowest-earning 25 percent of chefs earned $31,600 or less. The median income, or mid-point, was $42,350 per year. The top 25 percent reported earnings of $56,940 per year or higher.

Chipotle doesn’t do all of its own cooking: Some is done by an outside company, the same one that makes Mc Donald’s Mc Nuggets, Big Macs, and Mc Ribs. Chipotle’s website says its “fresh cooking” is done “using classic culinary techniques — no shortcuts.” But Chipotle doesn’t do all of its own cooking: Two outside processing companies in Chicago, OSI and Miniat Holdings, braise the carnitas and barbacoa, trim the steaks, cook the beans, and make the bases for the restaurant’s green and red tomatillo salsas, all according to Chipotle’s specifications. ( Everything else, said Chris Arnold, Chipotle’s communications director, “is made entirely in the restaurants. ”)OSI, a global meat processing corporation with facilities in 17 countries, also supplies Mc Donald’s with its burgers, nuggets, and other “value-added protein items” on its menu.2. Some of Chipotle’s locally sourced food travels thousands of extra miles so it can be processed in Chicago. “The less distance food has to travel,” Chipotle’s website says, “the better.” Sourcing locally — defined by the company as within 350 miles from the restaurant — has long been part of the Chipotle mantra."

We talked to farmer Lee Jones of the family-owned, sustainable farm The Chef's Garden in Huron, OH, and The Culinary Vegetable Institute, to clarify some common misconceptions about the least-known of the bunch: farm to table. SHAPE: How do you define the term \"\"farm to table?\"\" Farmer Lee Jones (FLJ): I think in the last 50 years there's been such a disconnect about where our food comes from and how it's grown. New advancements have allowed us to mass-produce for quantity, not quality, and not in ways that are necessarily safe. At The Chef's Garden, we're just trying to become as good as the farmers were 100 years ago. I really define farm to table as a direct relationship with like-minded people. It's not about distance, though my dad always says that the shortest distance between two points is the back door of the farmer to the front door of the consumer.

The reality of the industry is much different, with millions of cooks putting in long hours of hard labor in a physically and emotionally stressful workplace. Despite the brutal pace and challenging environment, most restaurant cooks earn relatively low wages. National Benchmarks In its May 2011 Occupational Employment Statistics, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that restaurant cooks earned an average of $11.25 per hour, or $23,410 per year assuming 40-hour work weeks. Broken out by percentages, the lowest-earning 10 percent of restaurant cooks reported wages of $8.06 per hour or less. Their median income was $10.61 per hour, and only the highest-earning 10 percent reported wages of $15.46 or more. Variables A number of variables can affect a cook's income, including workplace and geography. Full-service restaurants were the largest employer of restaurant cooks, paying an average of $11.12 per hour. Hotel and motel restaurants paid an average of $13.36 per hour, while limited-service restaurants averaged $9.98 per hour. Shipboard cooks were among the highest-paid, averaging $17.72 per hour."

Today, it’s one of the hottest locales for chefs breaking the mold with heirloom produce and heritage meats. While the definition of heirloom or heritage is debated, the consensus falls on varieties that have been bred, nurtured and passed down for several generations, if not centuries. “You can feel the history of the food,” says Sean Baker, executive chef at Berkeley’s Gather, of the many heirloom varieties showcased on his menu. “ In the 1950s, our whole culture changed with the introduction of fast food and pre-made meals. Our grandmothers probably knew more about food than most of us do now. ”Indeed, the 1950s saw the development of industrial agriculture, which slowly narrowed seed and animal varieties available on the farm. For example, all hogs were once raised outdoors, where they developed a thick layer of back fat to regulate their body temperatures. Once the animal’s most valued trait, it acquired a stigma when the low-fat fad hit popular consciousness."

The number of years you spend in college pursuing your culinary arts training depends on your desired career path after graduation. Two-Year Program A standard culinary arts degree program runs about two years, and you earn an associate degree when you graduate. American Culinary Federation accredited programs are offered at community colleges and specialty culinary arts schools. While enrolled, you'll take courses in professional cooking and baking techniques, kitchen management and food safety. You'll learn techniques for preparing foods such as meats, fish and vegetables, and you'll also learn plating and wine pairing.

[ THIS TESTIMONY WAS PRESENTED BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS ON MAY 4, 2004 ]On the Department of Labor’s Final Overtime Regulations Preliminary Analysis of DOL’s Final Rule on Overtime Exemptions By Ross Eisenbrey Introduction The U. S. Department of Labor has issued a final rule that changes the legal exemptions from the right to overtime pay for executives, professionals and administrative employees. Many in Congress, the press, and the public have asked EPI to estimate how many employees will lose overtime pay or the right to receive it as a result of this new rule. However, such an estimate will take time and it is too soon to give a complete answer to that question. The rule and its explanatory text and regulatory analysis are more than 500 pages long and differ in unexpected ways from the proposed rule the DOL issued last year. The final rule and its preamble are also rife with ambiguity. Many regulatory provisions have been changed without real explanation, even while the Department claims – contrary to the plain language of the rule — that it is not changing the law. All in all, the rule means longer hours and less pay for millions of workers – and more litigation for our entire economy. A number of things about the rule are immediately clear: First, the Department has created new exemptions that jeopardize the overtime rights of millions of employees who earn between $23,660 and $100,000 a year. The overtime rights of the nation’s 367,000 nursery school and pre-school teachers are weakened."

( Thursday, March 14, 2013)What makes a restaurant important? Is great food enough, or does it need to be revolutionary? Does an important restaurant reflect the food culture of its city, or does it strive to elevate local cuisine? These are all tricky questions, made trickier when applied to Las Vegas, where the dining scene is especially strange. But I was inspired after reading Bon Appétit Restaurant Editor Andrew Knowlton’s “20 Most Important Restaurants in America” in the magazine’s March issue. It was time to make a Vegas list of our own. It seemed inappropriate to use Knowlton’s criteria, which focused on what’s hot in the restaurant landscape right now. Vegas is not right now. Vegas is forever."

Sous chefs work directly with the executive chef or chef de cuisine, overseeing the kitchen's day-to-day operations while learning the management role through mentoring and a steady increase in responsibility. Sous chefs earn significantly more than most line cooks, though less than executive chefs or chefs de cuisine. National Wages The Bureau of Labor Statistics has no separate category for sous chefs, but it does provide salary data for both restaurant cooks and chefs. In its May 2011 Occupational Employment Statistics, the bureau reports a median wage of $10.61 per hour for restaurant cooks, or $22,080 per year. Twenty-five percent of restaurant cooks earn $27,000 or more a year, and 10 percent earn $32,160 or more a year. In comparison, the median income for chefs was $42,350 a year, with 10 percent earning $24,770 or less a year and 25 percent earning $31,600 or less a year.

"text": "\" (Photos.com/Jupiterimages)On a recent routine visit, a purveyor walked into Jesse Cool's Flea St. Cafe in Menlo Park, Calif., and told the restaurateur he was thinking of leaving a job on his family's organic farm to attend cooking school. Cool, a 33-year industry veteran, gently advised him first to see if he could live on a fraction of his wages for three years. \"\" I told him he had two choices, that he could go to school and spend a lot and learn a lot, or that instead of going to school, he could spend three years getting paid low wages and just work in kitchens and learn,\"\" Cool says. \"\" If you walk into a kitchen and say, 'I want to spend six months here as a prep cook. I want to work hard and learn,' those of us in the business are grateful. \"\" Cool, who also runs the Cool Cafe at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, and the JZ Cool Eatery & Wine Bar, also in Menlo Park, adds that if you're investing the time to learn and if you choose well, you can learn the basics by working. To school, or not to school, is no small debate in the industry. \"\" If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, you kind of have to go to school, but cooking is a trade. I'm sorry, but it's a blue-collar job,\"\" says Dory Ford, executive chef for the Portola Restaurant and Cafe and in-house catering service at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. According to a survey of 1,730 kitchen professionals released in May by the industry insider website Star Chefs.com, the average starting salary for a line cook in 2007 was $13.07 an hour, while the average salary for an executive chef was $77,611."

CURTIS COMPTON / CCOMPTON@AJC. COMNo doubt seasonal farmers markets remain the best places to buy the freshest fruits and vegetables, and help support local growers. But lately, many weekly markets have become a neighborhood hub for all sorts of other activities, too. This story originally appeared in the July/August issue of Living Intown Magazine. In these lively, laid-back outdoor spaces, where art and live music mingle with commerce, you’ll find local vendors selling meat, cheese, baked goods, and even burritos and burgers. Chef demos using seasonal produce, wellness programs for adults, and fun stuff for kids offer more opportunities to learn and socialize. And each market seems to embrace a distinctive sense of its surrounding community. On Thursday evenings, the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market stretches through an alleyway off Flat Shoals Road and into a grassy park with an edible garden, which can provide a staging ground for yoga classes, impromptu acoustic guitar jams and more."

As such anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchical control - be that control by the state or a capitalist - as harmful to the individual and their individuality as well as unnecessary. In the words of anarchist L. Susan Brown:\"\"While the popular understanding of anarchism is of a violent, anti-State movement, anarchism is a much more subtle and nuanced tradition then a simple opposition to government power. Anarchists oppose the idea that power and domination are necessary for society, and instead advocate more co-operative, anti-hierarchical forms of social, political and economic organisation.\"\" [ The Politics of Individualism, p. 106]However, \"\"anarchism\"\" and \"\"anarchy\"\" are undoubtedly the most misrepresented ideas in political theory. Generally, the words are used to mean \"\"chaos\"\" or \"\"without order,\"\" and so, by implication, anarchists desire social chaos and a return to the \"\"laws of the jungle. \"\" This process of misrepresentation is not without historical parallel. For example, in countries which have considered government by one person (monarchy) necessary, the words \"\"republic\"\" or \"\"democracy\"\" have been used precisely like \"\"anarchy,\"\" to imply disorder and confusion. Those with a vested interest in preserving the status quo will obviously wish to imply that opposition to the current system cannot work in practice, and that a new form of society will only lead to chaos."

"text": "\"Federalism\"\"To Secure the Blessings of Liberty\"\": Liberty and American Federal Democracy Daniel J. Elazar The Preamble of the Constitution of the United States lists six ends to which the Constitution is addressed: union, justice, domestic tranquility, defense, general welfare, and liberty. The last is presented most fully, to whit, \"\"secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.\"\" Taken together, those six define the ends of republican government. To best achieve those ends the American founders recognized that simple republicanism was not enough, that what was required was a compound republic, what we today call a federal system. The history of the founding generation of the United States of America is in no small measure a history of finding the way to such a compound republic, what the preamble refers to as a \"\"more perfect union,\"\" the first item on the list. For the founders, republicanism meant popular government, what Daniel Webster and Abraham Lincoln were later to define as \"\"government of the people, by the people, and for the people.\"\" Almost immediately most of them began to see that republicanism of that kind had to be democratic republicanism. Hence, once the Constitution was established, the thrust of the American political experience has been in the direction of strengthening the democratic aspects of the American compound republic. Let us look at the six ends of the preamble once again and read them as a list, placed in a certain order by design. I am not claiming that the framers did so deliberately."

"text": "Constructivism: An Introduction Maysam Behravesh, Feb 3 2011, 83157 views As a form of “reflectivist” critique of the scientific approach to the study of social sciences, constructivism was initially developed as a mostly interpretive “metatheory,” [1] stemming from the works of such philosophers as Wilhelm Dilthey, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and R. G. Collingwood. [ 2] Hence, the central argument about constructivism, according to Adler, relates not to the theoretical clash between “science” and “literary interpretation or ‘stories’”, but to “the nature of social science itself and, therefore, the discipline of International Relations.” “ In other words,” he elucidates, “the issue pits a naturalist conception of science, almost entirely based on contested philosophies of science and on physical concepts and theories that physics has long since abandoned, against a concept of social science that is social. ” As a methodological caveat, however, Adler notes significantly that categorizing “constructivism, post-structuralism and post-modernism” all as varieties of the same “reflectivist” approach is a “mistaken belief.” [ 3]Promotional Content Nicholas Greenwood Onuf was the first theorist who introduced the term “constructivism” in International Relations theory in 1989, contending that states much the same as individuals are living in a “world of our making,” as the title of his famous book bears, [4] where many entities such as “social facts” are made by human action, as opposed to “brute facts” that do not depend for their existence on human action but rather are phenomena of human condition. [ 5] The fact that constructivism emerged as a metatheory about how social sciences in general operate appears to have been the main reason the practice of constructivism in IR drew a good deal of criticism at the outset. Critics charged that “constructivism had provided little in the way of substantive knowledge, or even hypotheses, about the behavior of states or state systems.” [ 6] It was in the middle of 1990s that the alternative works of some IR theorists helped to develop and present constructivism as a substantive theory of international behaviour. In fact, the end of the Cold War set the stage for the rise to prominence of the constructivist school of thought in IR which caused a profound remoulding of debates within the dominant discourse of international relations theory. Central to constructivist arguments are such core concepts as “discourses,” “norms,” “identity,” and “socialization” that are frequently used in contemporary discussions over various issues of international concern including “globalization, international human rights, security policy, and more.” ["

The purpose of a legal system is to provide a systematic, orderly, and predictable mechanism for resolving disagreements. In order to do its job, any such system must perform three closely connected, but nevertheless distinct, functions: adjudication, legislation, and execution. The judicial function is the core of any legal system. In its judicial function, a legal system adjudicates disputes, issuing a decision as to how the disagreement should be settled. The other two functions are merely adjuncts to this central function. The purpose of the legislative function is to determine the rules that will govern the process of adjudication. Legislation tells judicial function how to adjudicate. The legislative process may be distinct from the judicial process, as when the Congress passes laws and the Supreme Court then applies them; or the two processes may coincide, as when a common-law body of legislation arises through a series of judicial precedents. Finally, the purpose of the executive function is to ensure, first, that the disputing parties submit to adjudication in the first place, and second, that they actually comply with the settlement eventually reached through the judicial process."

"text": "As the first official document that defined the United States government, the Articles of Confederation both reflected the ideals and philosophies of the American Revolution and highlighted the practical difficulties of democratic government. The idea of a union formed for mutual defense began in 1643 with the founding of the first colonial union, called the New England Confederation. Recognizing that a union would help the colonists to defend themselves against the threat of Indian attacks and French invasion, this confederation established the idea that unified strength was an effective power on the North American continent. As the governments of the colonies evolved and established more power, they continued to rely on unions for mutual defense. At the beginning of the French and Indian War in 1754, additional colonies attended the Albany Congress for the purpose of forming a unified defense strategy against the French and Indians. The colonists learned an important lesson from this experience, and began to instinctively rely on the power of unions any time their rights were abused during the pre-Revolutionary era. The governing body that eventually created the Articles of Confederation was based on this tradition of defensive unions, but was formed in a time of peace—not actually preparing for war. However, the Second Continental Congress, originally formed for the purpose of mutual defense of the thirteen colonies, suddenly found itself in 1776 waging a full-scale war and governing a nation. Congress managed to successfully direct the Revolution effort and to prevent domestic anarchy by relying more on improvisation than on any codified system of laws. Consensus worked for the thirteen states when faced with the imposing task of defeating the British; however, when Congress approached the topic of drafting a constitution that would serve to direct the affairs of the nation, numerous controversies erupted over how to establish a balance of power between individual states and a national governing body."

Introduction Types of systems Political institutions Miscellany Political Science is a discipline in itself, because the variety of political systems that are present on our world, or which have been present in the past, is as widely varying as chemical elements or subatomic particles. Worse, for the political scientist, these systems are not governed by laws of nature that are unchanging, but by humans who, by nature, change constantly. This page, then, cannot be an exhaustive study of various political systems. However, the major points can be addressed and the most common variants described. Students of politics can take the information presented here and use it as a basis for research into more focused topics."

"text": "\"Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You New -- 20 January 2005In President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, he provided what is quite possibly one of his most famous quotes:\"\"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what can you do for your country. \"\" This was followed up by,\"\"My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. \"\" It is noteworthy that the second line is routinely ignored or simply unknown -- and for that matter, the existence of any antecedents including that of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.:\"\"It is now the moment ...to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return.\"\" [ 1]Exactly 44 years after Kennedy's Inaugural address, it might be worthwhile to revisit the implications of this statement. Can it be said that it is quite the liberal glorification that we are often led to believe that it is? Perhaps not. How might one, for example, define country? It is at once a fatherland, a nation with its own government, a national population, a rural land, and/or a territory possessing its own language, people, and culture... among other things. In the context in which Kennedy and Holmes likely used it, it is either the collective government which provides both protection and welfare to its citizens (and simultaneously collects taxes and requires obedience to its laws)... or it is the collective of fellow citizens. It is probably not the latter in that the collective of fellow citizens do not routinely and automatically provide much of anything."

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master; that expresses my idea of democracy~ Abraham Lincoln.…..………… [ GREETINGS] ………………Today, we have countless systems of government in the world which we can choose from, while some are just on paper, others operate in the corners of true power. We have hyper-anarchy [government by no one], barbarocracy [government by barbarians], foolocracy [government by fools], chryso – aristocracy [government by the wealthy], diabolocracy [government by the devil], kleptocracy [government by thieves]; and as put by our own political analyst and verbal contortionist, Patrick Obahiagbon, we also have kakisto – mobo – plutocracy [government by the worst of mobs who are rich]. But then, ladies and gentlemen, I stand here today to tell us that the best of all these governmental systems, which has been tested and trusted for centuries, is nothing but Democracy [rule by the people]. Just as Ronald Reagan said; ‘ it is the most deeply honourable form of government ever devised by man. ’Before I proceed to stating the premises on which I base this assertion, I would like to define the term democracy. We may say it is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally – either directly or indirectly through elected representatives. It is, according to Aristotle, when the indigent and not the men of property are the rulers. When we say ‘ power to the people ’; when we say ‘ putting people over politics ’; that is democracy. And by saying, democracy is the best system of government; it does not mean it is perfect, just that it is better than all others. There is no better substitute for it. Democracy is the best form of government because: It respects and promotes human rights, and even gender and animal rights."

"text": "What Type of Government Do We Really Have? By jim kearney, on November 9th, 2009Many people seem to use terms describing government, economics etc as a mixed conglomeration of terms to get heir points across. Unfortunately, they use the words incorrectly; often get economic terms confused for type of government and political theories confused for types of people. I don’t profess to be an expert of all of the appropriate terminology but let us put some of them onto paper and see if we can clear up some of the perplexity. There are three basic types of economies, capitalism, socialism, and communism. There are five basic types of government, monarchy, oligarchy, democracy, republic and anarchy. There are five basic political theories, totalitarianism, dictatorship, parliamentarianism, theocracy and fascism. There are five basic types of people, communist, democrats, republicans, socialist and libertarians. I know many people will say what about the greens, or the independents etc. No matter what group you decide to use, by definition they will fit inside these groups somewhere."

Generation Silent Generation Baby boomers Generation XMillennials Generation ZMillennials (also known as Generation Y) are the generational demographiccohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. Millennials are sometimes referred to as \"\"echo boomers\"\" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s, and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the \"\"baby boom echo\"\" was generally less pronounced than the post–World War II baby boom. Although Millennial characteristics vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions, the generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies. [ 1] In most parts of the world, their upbringing was marked by an increase in a liberal approach to politics and economics; the effects of this environment are disputed. The Great Recession has had a major impact on this generation because it has caused historically high levels of unemployment among young people, and has led to speculation about possible long-term economic and social damage to this generation.

"text": "\"February 7, 2013Health Care System Falls Short on Stress Management APA survey finds inadequate attention given to behavioral health needs of younger Americans, people with chronic illness WASHINGTON—When it comes to stress management and wellness, there is a gap between what Americans want from their health care system and what they actually get, according to a new survey released today by the American Psychological Association. Findings from Stress in America ™: Missing the Health Care Connection, which was conducted online by Harris Interactive among 2,020 U. S. adults in August of 2012, suggest that people are not receiving what they need from their health care providers to manage stress and address lifestyle and behavior changes to improve their health. While Americans think it is important that health care focuses on issues related to stress and living healthier lifestyles, their experiences do not seem to match up with what they value. For example, though 32 percent of Americans say it is very/extremely important to talk with their health care providers about stress management, only 17 percent report that these conversations are happening often or always. \"\" When people receive professional help to manage stress and make healthy behavior changes they do better at achieving their health goals,\"\" says APA CEO Norman B. Anderson, Ph D. \"\"Unfortunately, our country's health system often neglects psychological and behavioral factors that are essential to managing stress and chronic diseases. In order for our nation to get healthier, lower the rates of chronic illnesses, and lower health care costs, we need to improve how we view and treat stress and unhealthy behaviors that are contributing to the high incidence of disease in the U. S.\"\"Americans who receive little or no stress or behavior management support from their health care provider are especially vulnerable. This is a sizeable group, with slightly more than half (53 percent) of Americans saying they receive little or no support for stress management from their providers, and 39 percent saying that they have little or no behavior management support. The same respondents were more likely to indicate that their stress increased in the past year compared to those who do get support from their health care provider (38 percent with little/no support versus 29 percent with a lot/great deal of support). The situation appears to be worse for the 20 percent of Americans who report experiencing extreme stress (an 8, 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale). More than two-thirds of U. S. adults with high stress (69 percent) say their stress has increased in the past year, yet 33 percent of U. S. adults say that they never discuss ways to manage stress with their health care provider."

There is no one correct name for my generation, but there are names that are more commonly used than others, with the most popular being Millennials and Gen Y. In fact, Gen Y has gone by many different names as our generational characteristics become more pronounced. I often use the term Gen Y because I’ve found people naturally know the demographic I’m referring to is the one born immediately following Gen X. It’s also important to note that in different parts of the world where I work, people use different generational names entirely, or the concept of generations is not as well known as looking at life stage or other commonalities based on age. Based on our research and on-site work, Millennials is the more common term in the U. S. and Gen Y is the more common term globally.2.) When was Gen Y born? After extensive research, The Center for Generational Kinetics defines Generation Y–aka Millennials–as those born between 1977 and 1995. This is based on the factors that shape a generation and sequential generational defining moments. These birth years are also most applicable to the U. S. and North America. However, there is no catchall answer with birth years because generations are clues, not a box."

"text": "November 08th, 2013By Jo Erickson2 Comments Youth sitting on the corner of the street in New York City, NY in July 2008. ( Photo/Ed Yourdon via Flickr)Why is it that the ‘Millennial generation’ — so widely discussed in the media — is not really understood? The contrary nature of Millennials is making researchers scratch their heads and political analysts worry. The Millennials are a generation of twenty-somethings starting their adulthood at the turn of the millennium. Branded the Me, Me, Me generation, they show the same unimaginative desire of fame and narcissistic hunger for money of the previous generation, but they also show another side — they can be altruistic, community-minded and socialist. So how do all these contradictions work? Perhaps the mistakes of the past are helping to redefine this generation not as one dominate force with distinct ideologies of wealth, family traditions and class, but as a diverse groups of communities with various ideals on society, politics, community and religion. The trouble is political analysts are concerned about how this new way of thinking will play out in politics. Today’s Millennials are fiercely committed to community service and a community type of politics. They find it difficult to believe that politics or government can improve their communities, their country or the world."

This was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, health care reform, the housing bubble and its subsequent crash, and, the onset of the Recession. Yet over a decade later, all of these national events and more have changed—and continue to change—the cultural landscape of American life. More than headlines, these events have had an effect on the inner lives of Americans—how we perceive ourselves. The Recession in particular has influenced Americans on a personal level. It was an economic fallout, but its consequences have reverberated through where Americans live, where they work, what they believe, how they spend their time and relate to friends and family. What’s more, the American Dream and its ideals of freedom, opportunity and the rise into prosperity also took a hit in the economic crash. All of this has changed the way Americans see themselves, their challenges, their opportunities and their future. Barna Group’s most recent survey on the topic compares Americans’ descriptions of themselves from the early 2000s until now, illuminating how much American life has changed in the past decade, and how Americans see themselves moving forward into the future.

Media & Entertainment 11/05/2015 @ 6:36PM 18,278 views Meet Morgan De Baun: The Blavity Founder Bridging The Gap Between Content And Tech In a time where the most iconic platforms for black entertainment face evident declines in revenue and viewership, a void has opened for a millennial-driven media outlet to emerge that reflects the progressive voice of today’s generation. As Hip Hop culture continues to expand its global influence, the intersection of content and technology presents a unique opportunity to shape a new narrative around what young African Americans consider cool, cutting edge, and aligned with their diverse lifestyles. Since the definitive shift into digital media, extensive studies have concluded that African American millennials consume more content than any other demographic, are the most mobile-obsessive, and further prove to be the most active users on social media platforms. This information would suggest that big brands, marketers, and business leaders alike would place a priority on developing innovative ways to capture such a thriving audience. Dominant brands like Buzz Feed are actively capitalizing on contemporary trends, such as viral videos, comedic memes, and real-time reports on pop culture moments. However, despite reaching millions daily, the many nuances that define black people and black culture are rarely accounted for. Now, one rapidly growing media and tech company is blazing an impressive trail for these companies to follow. Founded in July of 2014 by 24-year-old Silicon Valley veteran Morgan De Baun, and 25-year-old Co-Founder Aaron Samuels, Blavity is a thriving tech and multimedia company serving as the standout voice of black millennials."

This literature review will explore the cohort of young individuals born during the 1980s and 1990s, popularly called the Millennial Generation or the Millennials. The focus will be on how their identity is created and maintained, and how people around them are attempting to understand this identity. Especially two things have been said to be characteristic of the Millennials: The fact that they have grown up with internet technology and digital media surrounding them, and that they are by many known as spoiled, selfish, and even narcissistic.

In the West, people identify seven main generations, each with a set of characteristics that differentiates it from both the generation that precedes it and succeeds it. Recently, the public hears mainly about three generations that define modern times: the Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials, also called Generation Y. But, is it true that each generation is marked by a specific cultural identity? For example, did Baby Boomers, who were born after World War II and lived through the Vietnam War, really want to change the world? Are Gen X-ers, who are now approaching their 40s, more individualistic and materialistic --essentially the Gordon Gekko’s of the world? And, are Millennials reverting back to more liberal values as they embrace a more globalized world with its accompanying issues like same-sex marriage and the environment? WPR host Kathleen Dunn asked a representative of each generation to join in an inter-generational conversation to explore these questions. The Boomers Judy Reed is an early Baby Boomer, a returning Peace Corps volunteer who served as a teacher in a small village in Liberia from 1964 to 1966. She said she joined the Peace Corps because she had been very impressed with President John F. Kennedy. “I signed up somewhat to the chagrin of my parents who were worried about my future and my health,” said Reed. “"

Open to Change This is part of a Pew Research Center series of reports exploring the behaviors, values and opinions of the teens and twenty-somethings that make up the Millennial Generation Executive Summary Generations, like people, have personalities, and Millennials — the American teens and twenty-somethings who are making the passage into adulthood at the start of a new millennium — have begun to forge theirs: confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and open to change. They are more ethnically and racially diverse than older adults. They’re less religious, less likely to have served in the military, and are on track to become the most educated generation in American history. Their entry into careers and first jobs has been badly set back by the Great Recession, but they are more upbeat than their elders about their own economic futures as well as about the overall state of the nation. ( See chapter 4 in the full report)They embrace multiple modes of self-expression. Three-quarters have created a profile on a social networking site. One-in-five have posted a video of themselves online. Nearly four-in-ten have a tattoo (and for most who do, one is not enough: about half of those with tattoos have two to five and 18% have six or more)."

Find out now: How much do I need to save for retirement ? Millennial Earnings Before we can explore the average salary of a millennial we’ll have to define our terms. So who counts as a millennial? Depending on who you ask, some will say that those born between 1982 and 2004 count among the ranks of millennials. Others define millennials as those born between 1981 and 1997. Whatever the exact boundaries you choose, you’ll notice that many millennials came of age during the Great Recession and have earned lower salaries as a result.

Millennials are sometimes referred to as \"\"echo boomers\"\" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s, and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the \"\"baby boom echo\"\" was generally less pronounced than the post–World War II baby boom. Although Millennial characteristics vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions, the generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies. [ 1] In most parts of the world, their upbringing was marked by an increase in a liberal approach to politics and economics; the effects of this environment are disputed. The Great Recession has had a major impact on this generation because it has caused historically high levels of unemployment among young people, and has led to speculation about possible long-term economic and social damage to this generation.

S. after 1946, you are a Baby Boomer; if you were born after 1964, you belong to Generation X; and if you were born after 1980, you are a Millennial. People flock to these generational identities like they flock to their horoscopes, combing through all the traits to seek out the good characteristics and throw away the bad attributes that are reflected in their generational identities. Although information about them varies, there may be some truth to these generational identities and how they have shaped today’s society. From the Great Depression and World War II to technology and startup companies, society has made drastic changes that have shaped the psychology behind these generational eras. The Baby Boomers, aka flower children The Baby Boomers were born roughly between the years of 1946 and 1964, placing them in the age range between 51 and 70 years. Perhaps the most influential generation in history, this “flower power” generation is known for their pivotal roles in the civil rights movement, Woodstock and the Vietnam War. The term “Baby Boomer” was derived due to the dramatic increase in birth rates following World War II; soldiers came home from the war and had more time to spend creating babies, resulting in a population in the U. S. of 75.4 million strong. This generation values relationships, as they did not grow up with technology running their lives. Baby Boomers grew up making phone calls and writing letters, solidifying strong interpersonal skills. Yet as they got older, they actually became fluent in technology and now use cell phones and tablets."

He has a master's degree in science education. Very few of the chemicals and substances we encounter on a daily basis are in their pure form. Many of them are mixtures. In this lesson, you will learn about the types of mixtures recognized by scientists. Definition of Mixture Any substance that has a uniform and unchanging composition is considered to be pure. Examples of pure substances include elements. A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance retains its individual chemical properties. Mixtures can be composed of solids, liquids, or gases."

The solutions on the left are more dilute, compared to the more concentrated solutions on the right. Often in informal, non-technical language, concentration is described in a qualitative way, through the use of adjectives such as \"\"dilute\"\" for solutions of relatively low concentration and \"\"concentrated\"\" for solutions of relatively high concentration. To concentrate a solution, one must add more solute (for example, alcohol), or reduce the amount of solvent (for example, water). By contrast, to dilute a solution, one must add more solvent, or reduce the amount of solute."

Something that has been somewhat more nebulous is the correct stating of age in whiskey. You’d think this is pretty straight forward, but there is a lot of creative wording out there. Presumably in an effort to combat this, the TTB has come out with new phrasing for its guidelines. Thanks to Chuck Cowdery for the heads up on his blog. I’ll put the new wording below it’s found in the FAQ section of the TTB site.

Pyrotechnic chemicals are included even when they do not evolve gases. A pyrotechnic chemical is a chemical designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions. An explosive item is an item containing one or more explosive chemicals. A pyrotechnic item is an item containing one or more pyrotechnic chemicals. An unstable explosive is an explosive which is thermally unstable and/or too sensitive for normal handling, transport, or use. An intentional explosive is a chemical or item which is manufactured with a view to produce a practical explosive or pyrotechnic effect. B.1.1.2 The class of explosives comprises: (a) Explosive chemicals; (b) Explosive items, except devices containing explosive chemicals in such quantity or of such a character that their inadvertent or accidental ignition or initiation shall not cause any effect external to the device either by projection, fire, smoke, heat or loud noise; and (c) Chemicals and items not included under (a) and (b) above which are manufactured with the view to producing a practical explosive or pyrotechnic effect. B.1.2 Classification criteria Chemicals and items of this class shall be classified as unstable explosives or shall be assigned to one of the following six divisions depending on the type of hazard they present: (a) Division 1.1 - Chemicals and items which have a mass explosion hazard (a mass explosion is one which affects almost the entire quantity present virtually instantaneously); (b) Division 1.2 - Chemicals and items which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard; (c) Division 1.3 - Chemicals and items which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard: (i) Combustion of which gives rise to considerable radiant heat; or (ii) Which burn one after another, producing minor blast or projection effects or both; (d) Division 1.4 - Chemicals and items which present no significant hazard: chemicals and items which present only a small hazard in the event of ignition or initiation. The effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected."

Therefore, when masses of different materials have the same ratio as their molecular weights, the number of molecules present is equal. For instance, 2 lbm hydrogen contains the same number of molecules as 16 lbm methane."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Chemistry How can you tell if a substance is pure or mixed? Flag How can you tell if a substance is pure or mixed? Answer by David6023 Confidence votes 42.1KThere are many different techniques of chemical analysis, and the first step is to just look at the substance and see if you can observe anything non-homogeneous in its appearance. If the substance is a solid you could add water and see if all of it dissolves or just part of it. Chromatography is a useful technique; if you put a liquid on a paper or paper-like material, different substances diffuse at different speeds. Spectrography can be used to identify the constituent elements, which is at least a major clue as to what you are dealing with in terms of possible compounds. Distillation could be used to see if there is a component that has a lower boiling point than other components. A centrifuge can be used to separate out a denser component.

Everybody understands things like solid, liquid or gaseous state of substance. We call them solid, liquid or gaseous phases, respectively. This is intuitive but hardly rigorous. Chemists, I'm told, consider a cup of sweetened tea to be a single phase, even when the concentration of sugar at the bottom is maximal and nearly zero at the free surface (no mixing was applied to dissolve the sugar). Is this indeed correct? My own interest, in magnetism, is still another: can I consider two neighboring magnetic domains (or ferroelastic as well) as belonging to two different phases? Or is it the same phase only differently oriented?

"text": "What is an Azeotrope?written by: Aggeliki K. • edited by: Lamar Stonecypher • updated: 3/29/2011The article describes the properties of azeotropic mixtures, the distillation process, and the advantages of azeotropes when used as solvents by the manufacturing industry. What is Distillation? Before explaining what an azeotrope is, it would be useful to define the process of distillation. The process of distillation relies on the fact that the different components of a mixture will boil and therefore vaporize at different temperatures. This is possible because the various ingredients of the mixture have different boiling points. During distillation, a liquid mixture is boiled at a certain temperature and a component of the mixture is vaporized and collected. The rest of the mixture remains in a liquid state. Following this procedure one or more components can be separated from the rest and then cooled and condensed. When applying the distillation process to sea water, the water will evaporate as soon as the temperature reaches its boiling point. The residue will mostly consist of salt, and the condensed vapor is nothing but pure water."

"text": "\"1 The scope of chemical science Chemistry is too universal and dynamically-changing a subject to be confined to a fixed definition; it might be better to think of chemistry more as a point of view that places its major focus on the structure and properties of substances — particular kinds of matter— and especially on the changes that they undergo. In some ways, physics might be considered more \"\"fundamental\"\" to the extent that it deals with matter and energy in a more general way, without the emphasis on particular substances. But the distincion can get pretty fuzzy; it is ultimately rather futile to confine any aspect of human endeavour to little boxes. Chemistry: the central science The real importance of Chemistry is that it serves as the interface to practically all of the other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor. For this reason, Chemistry is often said (at least by chemists!) to be the \"\"central science\"\". Chemistry can be \"\"central\"\" in a much more personal way: with a solid background in Chemistry, you will find it far easier to migrate into other fields as your interests develop. Chemistry can enhance any career. Chemistry is so deeply ingrained into so many areas of business, government, and environmental management that some background in the subject can be useful (and able to give you a career edge as a team member having special skills) in fields as varied as product development, marketing, management, computer science, technical writing, and even law.

A compound is a homogenous entity consisting of two or more different atoms which associate via chemical bonds. All the molecules comprising a compound is has the same structure and composition, although configuration of the molecules may be different. A compound can be represented by a chemical formula, which means the proportion of the elements in a compound is definite. A mixture, though, is a combination of different substances. Be it homogenous or not, there are more than one kind of molecule comprising it. The combination of isomers is also a mixture, in which the molecules have the same composition but different structures.2.9k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

For better understanding, first the concept of residual curves and distillation lines is introduced. These give a graphical representation of the distillation of a three-component mixture, which is always the case with azeotropic distillation. With such diagrams, the mechanism of azeotropic distillation based on the thermodynamic behavior of the three-component system can be explained. The entrainer is the added (third) component of the binary mixture that is to be separated to create a suitable azeotrope. What is “suitable” can be found by applying a priori thermodynamical tools like the conductor-like screening model for real solvents. The last section of this chapter shows the application of azeotropic distillation for the separation of ethanol and water with toluene as the entrainer in a technical process. In this process, the formation of a ternary heteroazeotrope is utilized for the separation.

"text": "\"Figure 1: Example graphs of gas compressibility factors The compressibility factor ( Z) is a useful thermodynamic property for modifying the ideal gas law to account for behavior of real gases. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It is a measure of how much the thermodynamic properties of a real gas deviate from those expected of an ideal gas. It may be thought of as the ratio of the actual volume of a real gas to the volume predicted by the ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure as the actual volume. For an ideal gas, Z always has a value of 1. For real gases, the value may deviate positively or negatively, depending on the effect of the intermolecular forces of the gas. The closer a real gas is to its critical point or to its saturation point, the larger are the deviations of the gas from ideal behavior. The upper graph in Figure 1 illustrates how the compressibility factor varies for different gases at the same temperature and pressure. The lower graph illustrates how the compressibility factor of a gas (for example, methane) at a given pressure varies with temperature.

"text": "\"Mixtures - How it works Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Okea Mixtures and Pure Substances A mixture is a substance with a variable composition, meaning that it is composed of molecules or atoms of differing types. These may have intermolecular bonds, or bonds between molecules, but such bonds are not nearly as strong as those formed when elements bond to form a compound. Examples of mixtures include milk, coffee, tea, and soft drinks—indeed, they include virtually any drink except for pure water, which is a rarity, because water is highly soluble and tends to contain minerals and other impurities. Air, too, is a mixture, because it contains oxygen, nitrogen, noble gases, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Likewise metal alloys such as bronze, brass, and steel are mixtures. STRUCTURAL AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL DISTINCTIONS. Before chemists accepted the atomic theory of matter, it was often difficult to distinguish a mixture, such as air or steel, from pure substances, which have the same composition throughout. Pure substances are either elements such as oxygen or iron, or compounds—for example, carbon dioxide or iron oxide. An element is made up of only one type of atom, while a compound can be reduced to one type of bonded chemical species—usually either a molecule or a formation of ions. A distinction between mixtures and pure substances based on atomic and molecular structures is called, fittingly enough, a structural definition."

Here at Love Locks, Inc. we have been inspired by an ancient custom, which is believed to have originated in China – where lovers lock a padlock on a chain or gate and then throw away the key, symbolically locking their love forever. Around the world, cities from Moscow to Rome are filled with fences, bridges, and poles adorned with padlocks. Love padlocks (also known as Love Locks) are a custom by which padlocks are affixed to a fence, gate, bridge or similar public fixture by sweethearts to symbolize their everlasting love. Love padlocks have existed for quite some time, though there are no certain sources for their origin. In Europe, love padlocks started appearing in the early 2000s. The reasons love padlocks started to appear vary between locations, and in many instances are unsourced. However, in Rome, the ritual of affixing love padlocks to the bridge Ponte Milvio can be attributed to the book I Want You by Italian author Frederico Moccia, who later made it into the film-adaptation Hovoglia dite . It has been said that if both members of “love’s hand” are not present as the lock locks, the love has been forever jinxed. – Wikpedia These love padlocks are an expression of hope and humanity, connecting people around the world with the one thing that unites us all: love."

Also, the thumbwheel combination padlock marketed under the brand name \"\"First Watch\"\" appears to be very similar (see below.) We thought that the Master resettable combination padlocks were more secure than the single dial padlocks, for several reasons. First, they are about 4 times as expensive and we would expect higher security for the higher cost. Second, the locks have a shackle that is 1/32\"\" larger in diameter and a body thats appears (our opinion) to be more solidly built than the single dial padlocks. The model 177 above goes further by having extra protection for its shackle. Third, we were not able to develop methods to manipulate the dials, find the combination, and open the lock, as we were for the single dial padlock.

"text": "Padlock Shim Padlock shim set: That's what the picture is. They are very simple, and work on most cheap padlocks. It's just a little sliver of metal that you stick into the space between where the bolt goes into the lock (the bolt is the thing that unlocks when you unlock a padlock). All you do is slide the padlock shim down the shaft of the bolt (where the notches in the bolt aren't), then twist. The latch that latches the bolt to the rest of the lock keeping it locked will give way, and the bolt will pop open because it is springloaded. Works great on Masterlocks. You might want to use pliers to hold the shim, gives you extra leverage and doesn't cut into your hand. Sometimes locks have two notches in the bolt opposite each other, latching the bolt to the rest of it twice. Supposed to prevent the use of padlock shims, add extra security, no problem just use two shims at the same time! To make these shims is pretty easy too."

"text": "\"Schlage's History of Locks!An Introduction to the History of Locks Locks and keys were known long before the birth of Christ. They are mentioned frequently in the Old Testament and in mythology. In the Book of Nehemiah, chapter 3, it is stated that when repairing the old gates of the City of Jerusalem - probably in 445 B. C. - they \"\"set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.\"\" At this time, locks were made of wood. They were large and crude in design; yet their principle of operation was the forerunner of the modern pin-tumbler locks of today. As locksmiths and metal workers became proficient in their craft, they were invited to make locks and keys for the Royal Courts and for the churches and cathedrals of Europe. They excelled in elaborate and high and highly detailed ornamentation - often adapted to the religious theme. Security was a Guardian Angel In India, in the days of the Emperor of Annam, valuables were sealed into large blocks of wood, which were placed on small islands or submerged into surrounding pools of the inner courts of the palace. Here, they were protected by the royal \"\"guardian angels,\"\" a number of crocodiles kept on starvation rations so they were always hungry. To venture into the water meant certain death for the intruder."

"text": "Choosing self-storage locks Though self-storage facility theft is not all that common, you may have heard the occasional horror story on the news. We know that many tenants stash valuable belongings in their self-storage units, so choosing the right lock is a high priority. As a renter, you’re generally required to use your own lock. Most facilities have a selection of self-storage locks available for purchase in the office, but how do you know which type to buy? Here are Spare Foot’s expert recommendations: Closed-shackle padlocks These look like your standard padlock, with one notable exception. The shackle (the U-shaped bar at the top of the lock) is particularly short and thick, and it’s protected by an outside casing. This makes it difficult for bolt-cutters to reach. If a padlock is your general preference, be sure to choose a closed-shackle model. Disc locks Disc locks are the most popular self-storage locks, as they are resiliently strike-proof, drill-proof and pick-proof. They have a thickly built shackle that fits tightly around your storage unit door latch, making it difficult for anyone to jam bolt-cutters into the lock."

Contact Us About This Chain: The chain attachment fits directly to a padlock with a shackle of 6mm - 11m diameter. The shackle clamp is secured with rivets and the chain is then secured to a wall or door frame with screws. Generally this will only fit onto an open shackle padlock since closed shackle locks don't allow enough movement around the curve to get the shackle clamp on correctly. Each kit contains 4 shackle clamps and rivets so that you can remove the chain and fit to 4 different locks over it's lifetime. Note that this chain is made from a similar hardened steel to the padlock shackles and therefore galvanised to make it suitable for outdoor use. It is however, not a marine grade product and if subjected to harsh and prolonged weather conditions it may discolour over time. Sizes: We only have one size of chain attachment and it is best suited to 40-60mm padlocks with shackle diameters between 6-11mm. Uses & Applications: Where padlocks are prone to being dropped, lost or stolen, then this chain can be very useful. It is not a security device but can deter thieves from picking and stealing your padlock."

So, what better way to commemorate your fairy-tale jaunt through the City of Lights than by making a “love lock” together? Whether you’re honeymooning tourists or local lovebirds, this bonding activity is widely-recognized by couples across the globe. Moreover, taking part in the time-honored tradition is simple: stroll hand-in-hand to the Pont de Arts Bridge; purchase a padlock from a local vendor; write your names on it; then secure the padlock on this bridge to mark your romantic rendezvous in this picturesque locale. However, in June, much to the dismay of tourists and locals, Parisian city officials removed these “love locks” due to structural hazards for the Pont de Arts bridge. Furthermore, they made it illegal to affix any type of lock for the foreseeable future. The bridge was not able to support this extra weight any longer; in fact, sources allege that the total mass of these padlocks equaled about 20 elephants. But, despite concerns for public safety and historic landmark preservation, many people have expressed disappointment over losing these sentimental tokens. In light of these recent events, increased speculation has sparked regarding how this “love lock” phenomenon originated."

In recent years, as a symbol of the permanence of their relationships, hundreds of thousands of couples from all over the world have attached padlocks to the city’s Pont des Arts, tossing the keys into the river Seine. But officials have said the padlocks, which weigh a whopping 45 tons in total, are damaging the historic bridge as well as posing a danger to visitors. Last summer, a section of the bridge’s fencing collapsed under the weight of the locks. On Monday, city workers began taking apart the bridge’s panels, which will reportedly be replaced with plexiglass. “ It’s the end of the padlocks,” said Paris’ Deputy Mayor Bruno Julliard, according to the BBC. Take a look at photos below that show the dismantling of the famous Parisian landmark: The locks are so numerous that they completely cover the bridge’s sides.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 6:13In the realms of architectural drawings, dimensions are traditionally used to convey information (a distance or angle for instance) to somebody viewing those documents. However in Autodesk Revit, dimensions have an additional role- and that is that they can control elements. I like to think of this as a two-way relationship. You can place your elements into your project and Revit dimensions will display the respective data- ie the distance between two walls for example. OR you can use Revit dimensions to place constraints on those elements- in this scenario you are using dimensions as a sort of notation, to form relationships between different Revit elements. Let’s take a look at this in practice. First of all let’s look at the “Equals” constraint. Let’s take a wall with 5 windows elements in it….. You can see in the image above that all five windows are spaced unequally. We can actually use Revit dimensions to not only space them equally apart but then keep them equally spaced."

Smaller ranch-style house in West Jordan, Utah, with brick exterior and side drop gable roof Ranch (also known as; American ranch, California ranch, rambler, or rancher) is a domestic architectural style originating in the United States. The ranch house is noted for its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and wide open layout. The house style fused modernist ideas and styles with notions of the American Western period of wide open spaces to create a very informal and casual living style. While the original style of the ranch was very informal and basic in design, starting around the early 1960s, many ranch homes constructed in the United States (particularly in the Sun Belt region) were increasingly built with more dramatic features like varying roof lines, cathedral ceilings, sunken living rooms, and extensive landscaping and grounds. First built in the 1920s, the ranch style was extremely popular with the booming post-war middle class of the 1940s to 1970s. The style is often associated with tract housing built at this time, particularly in the southern and western United States, which experienced a population explosion during this period, with a corresponding demand for housing. The style was exported to other nations. Their popularity waned in the late 20th century as neo-eclectic house styles, a return to using historical and traditional decoration, became popular."

( July 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A cowboy of the old west in classic regalia Modern competitors in western equipment lined up at a horse show class, awaiting results Western riding is a style of horseback riding which evolved from the ranching and warfare traditions brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors, and both equipment and riding style evolved to meet the working needs of the cowboy in the American West. American cowboys needed to work long hours in the saddle over rough terrain, sometimes needing to rope cattle with a lariat (or lasso ). Because of the necessity to control the horse with one hand and use a lariat with the other, western horses were trained to neck rein, that is, to change direction with light pressure of a rein against the horse's neck. Horses were also trained to exercise a certain degree of independence in using their natural instincts to follow the movements of a cow, thus a riding style developed that emphasized a deep, secure seat, and training methods encouraged a horse to be responsive on very light rein contact. Though there are significant differences in equipment, there are fewer differences between English and Western riding than appear at first glance. Both styles require riders to have a solid seat, with the hips and shoulders balanced over the feet, with hands independent of the seat so as to avoid jerking the horse in the mouth and interfering with its performance. \"\""

It also took a lot of faith on the part of developer Syd Kitson, of Kitson & Partners. But after a decade-long delay caused by the Great Recession and the housing bust, buildings are coming out of the ground at the 18,000-acre master-planned community in southeastern Charlotte County. Eighteen model homes are under construction in Lake Timber, the first section, as are the buildings in Founders Square, the downtown center and the first of multiple village centers planned for Babcock Ranch. “So far, so good,” Kitson said. “ It is a very complicated process but you can see the buildings going up. ”Kitson & Partners bought the 91,000-acre Babcock Ranch in 2006 and then sold 78,000 acres for preservation to the state in a $350 million deal. The first residents could move in sometime in March or April. They will be the pioneers in a solar-powered town. A nearby array of more than 300,000 photovoltaic panels, installed by Florida Power & Light and covering 400 acres of former watermelon and sod fields, will provide 75 kilowatts of power – enough electricity to make Babcock Ranch “the first solar-powered city in America."

The shape of the house is either rectangular or an \"\"L\"\" or \"\"U\"\" shape. The houses have low-pitched roofs and extended eaves. They also usually have an attached garage and a large picture window facing the street. Other typical features include post and beam ceilings and sliding glass doors. Many ranch homes (also called ramblers or California ranches) are built on a concrete slab, though some have a basement or crawl space. Ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s averaged 1,300 square feet, and commonly had three bedrooms and one bathroom. Ranches built after the 1970s are typically larger."

Mary and I grew up in ranch homes, but much to our dismay, many ranches are built without front porches as was ours. Because they normally have adequate front yard space, most ranch home designs are ideal for this outdoor living addition. Advertisements We are often asked what front porch design works best for ranch homes. Ranch homes normally have low sloping roofs which can limit the porch's roof design but don't let that stop you. A Wonderful Ranch Home Before and After It is easy to see the beauty that a front porch makes on this ranch home. Ranch home porches rock. Billie's ranch home before a front porch was added.

"text": "What Size Should Your New Cupola Be? This accurate formula will help you make sure that your new cupola is the right size for your barn, garage or shed. Donald J. Berg, AIAAs you search the web to find the perfect cupola for your garage, shed or barn, you’ll see that many retailers use the same formula to help you find the correct size. It’s easy to remember: for each foot of length of the main ridge of your building, a cupola should be at least one inch wide at its base. The base dimension is usually how cupolas are sized and sold. So, using the formula, a garage with a 24’ ridge should have a cupola that’s 24” wide, or larger, at its base. Easy to remember, right? The problem is that the formula is often wrong. It often produces a base dimension for a cupola that’s visually too small for the building that it’s mounted on. Building guide books from the 1950s included that formula."

"text": "East Dallas, TX is generally considered to be the area in the east part of the city of Dallas that lies east of Central Expressway/75 and downtown Dallas, north of Fair Park, west of the cities of Mesquite and Garland and south of the Lake Highlands area of northeast Dallas. Although East Dallas was once a separate city from Dallas (it was annexed by Dallas in 1890), it has no official boundaries. East Dallas has established itself as a recreational, cultural, and architectural hot-spot in the DFW Metroplex and is highly sought-after by home buyers because of these unique mix of qualities. The recreational amenities offered by its proximity to White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, along with the many parks, creeks, greenbelts and towering, mature trees make East Dallas an attractive place to call home for those that enjoy an active lifestyle in the midst of nature and scenery. East Dallas has a very unique biodiversity of trees and plants and has more trees than many areas of Dallas. East Dallas also has an impressive cultural diversity among its many restaurants, retail shops, arts and entertainment facilities, schools, and houses of worship. Independent and specialty shops and restaurants are very common, although larger retailers and chains are abundant as well. East Dallas also has some of the most architecturally significant residential, commercial and retail properties — many located within historic and conservation districts which preserve their character and charm. Home styles in East Dallas neighborhoods range from traditional styles such as cottages, ranch-styles, and prairies to Mid-Century Moderns, Spanish and French Eclectics, Colonials, Craftsmen, and many others that are not native styles to Texas. Some neighborhoods have remained in much the same condition as when they were built."

Ranch houses and bungalows are classic residential home styles that can be found all over the United States. While the ranch house dates to the post-World War II suburban building boom, the bungalow has a slightly longer ancestry, having won widespread popularity in the early 20th century. The two styles have convenient although very different features; both are undergoing a revival in the early 21st century. Bungalow History Bungalow homes were derived from south Asian houses: small, single-story detached homes with verandahs and gardens. After arriving in the United States, the bungalow became the dominant residential housing style for several decades, starting around 1900. The first American bungalows were built in the Northeast; from there the style spread to the rest of the country. Ranch Homes Ranch homes took their form from several sources, including Spanish haciendas of the Southwest and the Prairie Style houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The first ranch homes were built in the 1930s in California; the style really took off in the 1950s, when a building boom took place in suburban tracts around large American cities. Bungalow Design Bungalows have a squarish design and are usually built in a single story, often with a single upper room or attic under a gently pitched roof."

"text": "Related Articles Remodeling Ideas for a Raised Ranch Home's Front Entry What Is a Split Ranch? What Is a Colonial House? Facts on Ranch-Style Homes The explosion of the American suburbs after World War II altered the landscape with an influx of affordable, functional houses that borrowed from more elaborate and custom styles to create habitats for young families. Two of the no-nonsense architectural configurations were split-level and raised ranch, both variations on a bi-level theme. The multiple levels created the illusion of some privacy in densely packed neighborhoods and managed to fit a lot of house on a modest lot. Split-Level The low, boxy ranch house became a split-level to accommodate the needs of growing families for more room and personal space in the same modest, economical footprint. At the midsection of the house, it divides into a double-height zone with the garage below and the bedrooms above, and a slightly lowered section containing the front entrance, living room, dining room and kitchen. The main living level typically is built over a sunken basement. All split-levels have either three or four levels, with short flights of stairs from the main living area up to the bedrooms and down to a den, basement and garage. Splitting the Difference A split-level needs a jolt of imagination when you start trying to decorate it."

"text": "\"How much does it cost to build a ranch house? Ranch-style homes are the product of 1920s architectural innovations, and today they are still a popular and extremely affordable style. They tend to require mid-range materials, larger footprints (due to a single-floor design and traditional attached garage), and feature open floor plans and simple exteriors. For the purpose of this discussion we will look at the cost of constructing a traditional ranch-style home. According to home industry statistics, building a 2500 square feet ranch house costs $433,500. This includes mid-range materials, a masonry foundation with full basement, high-efficiency doors and windows, full appliances, and \"\"turnkey\"\" finishing. The building of any ranch-style home would never be a \"\"DIY\"\" project and requires a knowledgeable contractor, an architect, a team of subcontractors, and a cooperative owner to get the job done in a single calendar year. According to Hawkins Research, Inc., the typical costs for the building of a ranch of 2500 square feet would include: The above figures place this construction at a $173 per square foot cost, though national average stands between $125 to $175 for project managers. This pricing structure assumes that carpenters, masons, and excavators charge an average of $70 per hour, electricians between $65 to $85 per hour, painters between $20 and $35 per hour and plumbers between $45 and $65 per hour. Materials would cost around $219,000, labor would cost roughly $212,600, machine costs would stand at roughly $11,100 and the contractor would take in over $63,000 for the project."

"text": "\"Home > Sports > Definition What Is A Sport? We have a huge list of sports which includes some that you may not consider a sport. In order to justify what makes the list, we have to base the inclusion on a clear definition of what makes a sport. Definition According to GAISFThe Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) (previously Sport Accord) is the umbrella organization for all international sports federations, and has developed a definition of sport to determine whether an applicant federation qualifies as an international sports federation. The GAISF's definition of sport is as follows: The sport proposed should include an element of competition. The sport should not rely on any element of \"\"luck\"\" specifically integrated into the sport. The sport should not be judged to pose an undue risk to the health and safety of its athletes or participants. The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature. The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier. The Encyclopedia of World Sport When collating all the world sports for the publication 'Encyclopedia of World Sport - from ancient times to the present' (Oxford University Press, 1999), the editors based their inclusion criteria on the following definition: An activity can be considered a sport if it involves ...competition between two or more individuals or teams;rules of play that allow a winner to be determined;a primary goal of victory;victory determined by the relative physical ability of the competitors, although strategy and chance may also play a role."

We all play in some perceptible manner that provides our lives with meaning we don’t ordinarily feel from other pursuits that are means-‐ended. Sport philosophers have depended upon the seminal theories of Huizinga and Caillois to shape their constraints on the play world. Huizinga’s and Caillois’ definition both use formal analysis to protect the play sphere however, their theories fail in providing justifiable reason to protect the play sphere and the meaning it has. I propose that understanding play from the perspective of existentialism provides a better way to understand its meaning and truly understand how it shapes the understanding of play, games, and sports with the field of the philosophy of sport. iii Acknowledgments First, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Professor Angela Schneider. Your guidance and support has helped me to mature and develop philosophically. Without your close instruction throughout the last two years this would not have been possible, and certainly not as enjoyable. For several years, during which, I was somewhat unfulfilled participating in sports, what I now know most surely about the goodness of people and sport I owe to your teachings. Thank you Marlon for being the torchbearer and leading the way in our family."

Tue 3 Jan 2006 21.16 EST21.16 EST0Yes, says thirteen-times World Darts champion Phil 'The Power' Taylor By the summer of 2012 I am not sure if I will still be playing darts at a professional level, but I know I will be looking forward to the Olympic Games in London. And, as another world darts championship ended this week - with us gaining as much publicity as ever - the time is right for our sport to become part of the world's greatest sports show. We have tried so hard over the years to clean up the image of darts. If you tell people you are a professional player, and that you do not go out playing in pubs all the time, and that you are actually at home and are boring, then I am boring. The level at which darts players train and practise now is greater than ever before. There is not a day when I do not throw a dart - I am going on a cruise now that the world championship is over, but I will be taking a dart board with me. Darts has a chance of being in the Olympics. I would love to see it there and in my view it deserves its place, because more than ever the interest in darts is growing across the world. The participation levels are higher than before and there are more international tournaments than in the past."

Soccer in the fall is followed by basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. Or perhaps your favorites are football, volleyball, softball, bowling, or golf!Whatever sport you play, you always have heroes to look up to. Young soccer players, for example, might admire the skills of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Future hoops stars might want to shoot like Stephen Curry or dunk like Le Bron James. While only a very small, elite group of players ever make it to the big leagues, many youngsters play their favorite sports throughout high school, and some even choose to be student-athletes when they go to college. If you love to play sports, there's nothing quite like the feeling when your team sets its sights on and ultimately achieves a lofty goal: a championship. Of course, after your playing days are over, you can continue to enjoy your favorite sports as a fan of professional teams. Some people, for example, like to follow all the sports teams in their favorite town."

How to assess physical activity and physical fitness in the elderly?",
"text": "\"Question Asked 5 years ago Siamak Ghassemi2.58 Tehran University of Medical Sciences Is there a difference between physical activity and physical fitness? How to assess physical activity and physical fitness in the elderly? Physical activity is a different concept to physical fitness, although the two are often related. Physical activity has been defined as ‘any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in caloric expenditure’. Therefore, physical activity is commonly described by the following four dimensions: (i) frequency – ‘the number of events of physical activity during a specific time period’; (ii) duration – ‘time of participation in a single bout of physical activity’; (iii) intensity – ‘physiological effort associated with participating in a special type of physical activity’; and (iv) type of activity. Any assessment of physical activity should ideally measure all of these dimensions and account for day-to-day variation. Three of these dimensions (i.e. intensity, frequency and duration) of physical activity are fundamental because their assessments provide the ability to calculate energy expenditure (EE) associated with physical activity. In contrast, physical fitness comprises cardiorespiratory endurance (assessed by either measured or estimated VO2max), muscle endurance and muscle strength, both of which are specific to a muscle group and must therefore be measured individually. Flexibility, balance, agility and coordination are additional components of physical fitness.http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.spc.pt/DL/GE/fisiopatologia/att/assessment_of_physical_1.pdf&sa=U&ei=Q_6l Uf S3E4b Y4QSuk4G4Cw&ved=0CBo QFj AB&sig2=1Pgojx6Y_4d Ex Ix3f P7Xy Q&usg=AFQj CNH-ib Fz N0SA12Yi Kg GMHka Wea Gf HQPhysical Activity Assessment Physical Fitness Physical Activity Share1 Recommendation Popular Answers ( 2)5 years ago Roselien Buys University of Leuven Maybe these articles can help you a little:- Vanhees et al.

"text": "\"After just eight attempts in a loss to the Seahawks, the Vikings running back was not happy with his workload. ( Photo: AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORENEW ORLEANS -- Leave it to Cam Newton to put a new, multi-tasking twist on concussion protocol. The flamboyant Carolina Panthers quarterback underwent a concussion test Sunday after bolting to the locker room in the third quarter for a bathroom break. Or so the story goes. \"\" I had to use the bathroom and I told the team doctors we could do the protocol in the back,” Newton said after the 41-38 victory against the New Orleans Saints that kept the Panthers (12-0) unbeaten. It was a quick break. Newton, who absorbed a blow to the head on a scramble around right end to the 1-yard line, passed the test and never missed a snap. Still, the circumstances of his case – and the flow of how the concussion protocol was conducted – was a bit puzzling. After getting blasted by linebacker Michael Mauti, with TV replays showing a helmet-to-helmet collision, Newton remained in the game for three more plays before heading to the locker room. He finished the series with a sharp, 19-yard scoring strike to Ted Ginn, Jr. – the second of his five TD passes on the day."

Whether it’s a football player in one of your classes, a teacher who talks down about cheerleading, or a friend who doesn’t understand why you’re not involved in something else “more athletic,” you want people to know that cheerleaders are athletes . Usually people make negative comments about cheerleading because they know it gets under your skin, but some people truly believe cheerleading lacks athleticism. What should you say to earn some respect? Remember the best argument is an educated one, so give them the facts! The truth is, there really isn’t a solid definition of “official” sport. When necessary, the Office for Civil Rights makes this determination on a case by case basis. The Women’s Sports Foundation has narrowed the field to these elements: It must be a physical activity which involves propelling a mass through space or overcoming the resistance of mass."

I was amazed watching all the girls flip around on the mat and just knew I wanted to be out there doing what they were doing. I started taking tumbling classes, which is where you learn how to do flips, and the rest is history. I started out at an All-Star cheerleading gym when I was in 4 th grade, which is where you go to competitions with your team, and continued until I started high school. My high school had their own competition cheerleading team, so I quit cheering at an All-Star gym and only competed with my high school. I am now on the club cheerleading team here at JMU.

My college roommate grew up playing baseball and I grew up playing basketball and we had heated debates both while sober and engaged in a beverage consuming sport that involved ping-pong balls and cups. As I saw it this argument was a no brainier. Basketball is hands down, by far a more athletic sport. My roommate made the argument interesting by purposing what do you consider to be “athleticism?” I had an answer for him already cooked up. Baseball is a skill sport, not an athletic sport.

"text": "\"Teachers say critical thinking key to college and career readiness Credit: Lillian Mongeau/Ed Source Today Louis Freedberg September 29, 20158 Comments California teachers say critical thinking skills, not scores on standardized tests, are the best way to assess whether students are prepared for success in college and the workplace, according to an online survey by Ed Source in partnership with the California Teachers Association. Teachers said they have received much more training on how to prepare students for college – and far less on preparing them for non-college options. They also said college and career readiness has not been fully integrated into the professional development training they have received to implement the Common Core State Standards. Preparing students to graduate from high school prepared for college and careers is now a principal goal of all major education reforms being implemented in California, including the Common Core standards and the Local Control Funding Formula, which was approved by the state Legislature in June 2013. This represents a major shift from the goal of the No Child Left Behind reforms of the past 15 years, which was to promote proficiency on standardized tests. The survey of 1,000 teachers randomly selected from among a list of CTA’s more than 300,000 members was conducted last spring. Carried out by the polling firm GBA Strategies, it is the first of its kind to probe teacher attitudes regarding college and career readiness. The survey was partially underwritten by The James Irvine Foundation. Defining what exactly “college and career readiness” means – and what it will take to ensure that students reach that goal by the time they graduate from high school – is currently a major concern of educators and policy makers around the state, and the teachers’ role in making that happen will be critical. Teachers overwhelmingly supported the goal of preparing students for college and careers."

"text": "July 29, 2010 by Chrissy Scivicque 8 Comments Career Management: Defining the Process and Purpose Tweet The term “career management” is a bit abstract for some people. It sounds like this fluffy, indefinable concept that doesn’t really mean a whole lot. In reality, career management is a very significant and specific process that, when done properly, helps to ensure long-term career success. According to Career Vision.org, it’s sort of like contributing to your own career piggy bank: Career management uses concepts similar to good financial management. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that a disciplined investment, made on a regular basis, yields a greater return. In order to get the most out of your career, you have to put some effort into caring for it. Left to its own devices, your career may end up wildly off course. Without a structured career management plan, you’ll quickly find yourself doing what’s easy or convenient or what others want you to do. You may discover that your future goals don’t align with your present-day actions. And, before you know it, your career will be managing you.1."

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( January 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Career management is the combination of structured planning and the active management choice of one's own professional career. Career management was first defined in a social work doctoral thesis by Mary Valentich as the implementation of a career strategy through application of career tactics in relation to chosen career orientation (Valentich & Gripton, 1978). Career orientation referred to the overall design or pattern of one's career, shaped by particular goals and interests and identifiable by particular positions that embody these goals and interests. Career strategy pertains to the individual's general approach to the realization of career goals, and to the specificity of the goals themselves. Two general strategy approaches are adaptive and planned. Career tactics are actions to maintain oneself in a satisfactory employment situation. Tactics may be more or less assertive, with assertiveness in the work situation referring to actions taken to advance one's career interests or to exercise one's legitimate rights while respecting the rights of others. Valentich and Gripton defined success as managing one's career effectively through the attainment of desired positions and other rewards."

What Mrs. Duncan did for me was to help me to not be afraid of being smart. She encouraged me to read, and she often stayed after school to work with me, helping me choose books and letting me help her grade papers. For many years after that, I had one goal that I would one day become a fourth-grade teacher who would win the teacher award--because I was going to be the best teacher anyone had ever seen! – Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah Winfrey Show At work, do you have your own Mrs. Duncan? If not, it’s not too late to have your own mentor. I believe in having a mentor and mentoring someone. My belief in mentoring was further solidified through a conversation that I once had with a highly successful entrepreneur many years ago. I ran into her at a conference and she gave me some excellent advice for networking, self-branding and how to grow professionally. She told me some apt stories that made me realise the undisputed power of mentoring and why everyone needs a mentor in life or at work."

Why Do You Need a Personal Development Plan? Have you ever gone on a holiday with no or little planning? I did, and instead of having an adventurous and spontaneous journey, I ended up being frustrated because I needed to plan everything during the journey. It is very hard to fully enjoy the trip if you constantly need to think about where to sleep, what to eat, and where to go. It is much easier to travel when you have at least some big picture vision and an idea of where you want to go, as well as a basic plan of the things you want to do.

Successful Intelligence theory asserts that a person's overall intelligence comprises three distinct elements -- that when you are trying to solve a problem you use a combination of analytical, creative, and practical thinking skills. In his book, Successful Intelligence (Simon & Schuster), Robert Sternberg refutes the idea of any one definition of intelligence. Instead, he suggests that successful intelligence determines one's ability to cope in career, in life -- and in school. Successfully intelligent people capitalize on their strengths and recognize and compensate for their weaknesses; self-motivating and flexible in their work style, they create their own opportunities, actively seek out role models, recognize and accurately define problems, and know when to persevere."

Instead, the key qualities are traits such as creativity, the ability to keep going in the face of hardship, and the social skills needed to build great teams. If you want to start a business, it's essential to learn the specific skills that underpin these qualities. It's also important to develop entrepreneurial skills if you're in a job role where you're expected to develop a business, or \"\"take things forward\"\" more generally. In this article, we'll look at the skills you need to be a successful entrepreneur, and we'll explore resources that you can use to develop the traits needed for success.

Consequently, you may have a sense for how much time you will need to spend on your MBA applications. I’m fairly sure you’re wrong. I have been an admissions consultant for over ten years now, and I’ve worked with many clients who are no strangers to working fast and furious. What I can tell you is that every applicant I have worked with has been shocked by the amount of time it takes to create three to four high quality MBA applications. I am not talking about the time it takes to study for the GMAT and earn a top score. In this article, I will discuss how much time should you budget for the other critical elements of the written application, namely your essays, resume, recommendation letters, and application forms. Let’s assume you plan to apply to three schools in a single application round and that once you start the application process you will work consecutive weeks between now and the deadline to complete your applications.

Show all authors Abstract: This article reviews the established understanding of the concept of expatriate failure, discusses its associated problems and presents a more sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of the concept. The article argues that it might well be time to abandon the concept of expatriate failure altogether and instead draw on the general human resource literature to analyse problems related to turnover and performance management in an expatriate context.. Keywords: Expatriates, International organizations, Multinational companies, Human resource management Type: Research paper Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited Copyright: © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2004 Published by Emerald Group Publishing Limited Citation: Anne‐Wil Harzing, Claus Christensen, (2004) \"\"Expatriate failure: time to abandon the concept? \"\", Career Development International, Vol. 9 Issue: 7, pp.616-626, https://doi.org/10.1108/13620430410570329Downloads: The fulltext of this document has been downloaded 14298 times since 2013Article Introduction Section: Expatriate failure – usually measured as premature return from an international assignment – has taken up a very prominent position in the literature on expatriate management. Even articles dealing with other areas of expatriate management often routinely refer to (high levels of) expatriate failure to frame their arguments. More recently, several articles have attempted to discard the “myth of high expatriate failure rates” ( Daniels and Insch, 1998; Forster, 1997; Harzing, 1995; Harzing, 2002; Insch and Daniels, 2002 ). Even though some contemporary authors still continue to support this myth (see, e.g. Harvey et al., 2001 ), there is a growing acceptance that failure rates might never have been as high as originally claimed. However, this should not lead us to conclude that expatriate failure as such is not an important issue to investigate."

Etymologically the angles got to be small [ Schwartzman ]:angle (noun), angular (adjective): from Latin angulus \"\"corner, angle.\"\" Latin \"\"-ulus\"\" is a diminutive ending, so angulus meant literally \"\"a little bending.\"\" In mathematics an angle measures how much \"\"bending\"\" or turning one line (= one side of the angle) does to get into the position of another line (= the other side of the angle.) The Indo-European root is ang- or ank- \"\"to bend\"\"; it is seen in the related native English word ankle, the bend between the leg and the foot. It is also seen in the word English, since the anscestors of the English lived in the angular-shaped region in Europe known as Angul. A related borrowing from Greek is anchor . However, the common definition of angle does not refer to the size of the angle at all: Definition An angle is a combination of two rays (half-lines) with a common endpoint. The latter is known as the vertex of the angle and the rays as the sides, sometimes as the legs and sometimes the arms of the angle. Under this definition, two angles are congruent provided either can be made to coincide (the vertex and the sides) with the other by a rigid motion."

As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ 2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: In optics, the numerical aperture ( NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or emit light. By incorporating index of refraction in its definition, NA has the property that it is constant for a beam as it goes from one material to another, provided there is no optical power at the interface. The exact definition of the term varies slightly between different areas of optics. Numerical aperture is commonly used in microscopy to describe the acceptance cone of an objective (and hence its light-gathering ability and resolution ), and in fiber optics, in which it describes the range of angles within which light that is incident on the fiber will be transmitted along it. Contents [ hide ]1 General optics1.1 Numerical aperture versus f -number1.2 Working (effective) f -number2 Laser physics3 Fiber optics4 See also5 References6 External links General optics [ edit]In most areas of optics, and especially in microscopy, the numerical aperture of an optical system such as an objective lens is defined bywhere n is the index of refraction of the medium in which the lens is working (1.00 for air, 1.33 for pure water, and typically 1.52 for immersion oil; [1] see also list of refractive indices ), and θ is the maximal half-angle of the cone of light that can enter or exit the lens. In general, this is the angle of the real marginal ray in the system. Because the index of refraction is included, the NA of a pencil of rays is an invariant as a pencil of rays passes from one material to another through a flat surface.

The presentation of two dimensions of recession, and the freedom we have to represent the primary form from countless points of view, makes this framework suitable for nearly all landscape, portrait and architectural situations. The three vanishing points of 3PP perspective are usually necessary only for downward or upward looking landscape views, or hovering views of buildings or still life objects. The unifying theme of this page is the correct proportioning of objects in perspective through methods for rotating vanishing points to a specific angle of view and locating the measure points to project in depth the dimensions of a measure bar established to a specific image scale on the image plane. Working with two vanishing points creates some practical problems when the points are spaced very far apart. I discuss some approaches to solving the problem. The problem must be solved rather than ignored, because vanishing point spacing is critical to the correct appearance of objects in space. The final sections explain why, and describe methods to identify the center of projection — the optimal location for viewing the image — and the original circle of view, using only clues within the image itself. This can be done for any 1PP, 2PP or even 3PP image where we can reconstruct diagonals or vanishing points from the forms in the image.two point perspective Central or one point perspective represents a static and symmetrical view of space and the objects within it, with an emphasis on central recession in space — the recession of perspective gradients and the edges of forms exactly coincide. Two point perspective represents a turning or moving aside, a glance to the left or right, an approach to the primary form that is more informal, idiosyncratic and complex, composed as it is of two adjacent sides of every object woven into a single perspective view."

Tonight we will be discussing “Lens Replacement Surgery for Angle Closure.” We would like to welcome Dr. Michael Pro, our medical expert. P: Would you please define angle closure glaucoma for those attending this evening? Dr. Pro: Angle closure glaucoma is defined by the presence of a narrow anterior chamber angle. The angle is the space between the cornea and the iris and is where the aqueous fluid leaves the eye. In most individuals this space is open and there is no obvious structural reason for the elevated IOP that is a feature of glaucoma. However, in angle closure, the drainage angle is narrow or even totally closed. This can obstruct the outflow of aqueous fluid. In extreme cases, an angle closure attack can occur where the IOP is extremely high."

Proportionality constants are written within the image: sin θ, cos θ, tan θ, where θ is the common measure of five acute angles. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions [1] [2]) are functions of an angle. They relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other applications. The most familiar trigonometric functions are the sine, cosine, and tangent. In the context of the standard unit circle (a circle with radius 1 unit), where a triangle is formed by a ray starting at the origin and making some angle with the x -axis, the sine of the angle gives the length of the y -component (the opposite to the angle or the rise) of the triangle, the cosine gives the length of the x -component (the adjacent of the angle or the run), and the tangent function gives the slope ( y -component divided by the x -component). More precise definitions are detailed below."

"text": "Pythagoras in the hyperbolic plane Posted on March 28, 2014 10:39 am by Scott Taylor Comment The Pythagorean theorem is surely the most famous of all mathematical theorems. The simplicity of its statement (that a right triangle with sides of length and and hypotenuse of length satisfies) and the multiplicity of beautiful proofs (like the one shown at right from Byrne’s edition of Euclid’s Elements) contribute to its memorability. Byrne’s version of Euclid’s proof of the Pythagorean theorem. The fame of Pythagoras’ theorem in Euclidean geometry makes it natural to ask if it holds in other geometries. For instance, is the Pythagorean theorem true in hyperbolic geometry, that radical challenger to Euclid’s throne? The naive answer is “No, the Pythagorean theorem does not hold in hyperbolic geometry”, as it is logically equivalent to Euclid’s 5th postulate (which is the defining difference between Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry). However, there is a theorem in hyperbolic geometry which is analogous to Pythagoras theorem: The hyperbolic Pythagorean theorem If a right triangle in the hyperbolic plane has sides of length and and a hypotenuse of length, then. Right triangle in the hyperbolic plane As in the figure at left, the edges of the triangle are hyperbolic geodesics (we’ll review what those are below), with the sides of length and adjacent to the right angle and the hypotenuse (of length) is the edge across from the right angle. The function is hyperbolic cosine. The hyperbolic plane The hyperbolic plane was discovered by Bolyai and Lobachevsky when they investigated the effect of replacing Euclid’s parallel postulate with an alternative."

Go to: Abstract This review describes a scheme for diagnosis of glaucoma in population based prevalence surveys. Cases are diagnosed on the grounds of both structural and functional evidence of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. The scheme also makes provision for diagnosing glaucoma in eyes with severe visual loss where formal field testing is impractical, and for blind eyes in which the optic disc cannot be seen because of media opacities. Keywords: glaucoma, prevalence surveys An appropriate case definition is the keystone of epidemiological research whether measuring prevalence, studying risk factors, or conducting clinical trials. This reconsideration of the definition and classification of glaucoma was prompted by our experiences of cross sectional prevalence research in Africa and Asia, and by the difficulty we experienced in identifying and classifying cases and in making valid comparisons with previously published data. The proposed definition of glaucomatous optic neuropathy has evolved from one initially developed for the Kongwa Eye Study in Tanzania. 1 At the same time, work in Mongolia and Singapore, 2, 3 where there was a high prevalence of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), had prompted a re-examination of the definition of this condition."

We need precise and quantitative definitions to describe the strength of radiation and how it varies with distance between the source and the observer. The concepts of brightness and flux density are deceptively simple, but they regularly trip up experienced astronomers. It is very important to understand them clearly because they are so fundamental. We start with the simplest possible case of radiation traveling from a source through empty space (so there is no absorption, scattering, or emission along the way) to an observer. In the ray-optics approximation, radiated energy flows in straight lines. This approximation is valid only for systems much larger than the wavelength of the radiation, a criterion easily met by astronomical sources."

So technically, though sun has still not risen, we get to see the light in the sky. Also after sunset, when sun is no longer in sight, there remains noticeable amount of light in the sky referred to as twilight period. Twilight can be at dawn and dusk (morning and evening).

Seasons result from Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth 's axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane. [ 2] [3] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant. Red and green trees in autumn (fall)During May, June, and July, the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is Earth's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months, which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July, and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December, January, and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere. In temperate and subpolar regions, four calendar -based seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter. Ecologists often use a six-season model for temperate climate regions: prevernal, vernal, estival, serotinal, autumnal, and hibernal."

Dawn on Santorini island, Greece.©bigstockphoto.com/kavalenkava volha Scientific Definition Science specifies dawn as a particular moment defined by the solar elevation angle, which is the position of the Sun in relation to the horizon. As with dusk, astronomers differentiate between 3 different stages of dawn, each marking the beginning of 1 of the 3 phases of morning twilight: Astronomical dawn – the geometric center of the Sun's disk is 18 degrees below the horizon.

"text": "\"Beyond Sunset: The Different Phases of Twilight A Post By: James Brandon Sunsets are one of the most common and widely photographed events in nature. They are stunning and inspiring to watch and never seem to last quite long enough before everything is over. I’ve been on quite a few photo walks with groups of photographers during sunset, and I always notice the same thing: Once the sun dips below the horizon, the majority of people pack up their gear and head home. They see a setting sun as the end of a wonderful night of shooting, but they are missing so much!I see the same thing with portrait photographers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been out shooting a lifestyle or engagement session at a popular location during sunset and watched all the photographers scramble to get their shots in. Sure enough, as soon as the sun sets the place clears out, which is fine by me!What most photographers don’t understand is that once the sun has disappeared, a new window of opportunity begins, there is still plenty of useable light left! Twilight is the period of time in between day and night, and is caused by refraction and the suns rays scattering from the atmosphere. What most people don’t know is that there are three different phases of twilight, each with very distinct and unique features that open up different worlds of opportunities for your images. My goal for this article is to shed some light (pun definitely intended) on what happens after the sun goes down, and to let photographers know that the setting sun is just the beginning!Sunset and Sunrise The period of time leading up to sunset or directly after sunset are the most popular times for photographers. The light is beautiful and perfect for portraits and landscapes."

"text": "The Types of Twilight Wed Oct 17, 2012 at 15:51 · Understanding Light Early Civil Twilight at Monument Valley I had a request to our support email recently, asking if we could explain in layman’s terms what the different twilight times meant. In the past, we’ve also received requests to include times of “Blue Hour” or “Golden Hour” in TPE. The problem with those terms is that they have no strict definition, so we’d need to adopt our own definition in order to calculate times. Better instead to use Civil, Nautical and Astronomical twilight, which are well defined terms. In the help file for TPE on i OS/Android, twilight times are described as follows: Twilight times Times of civil, nautical and astronomical twilight are shown. The different twilight times are defined as follows: Civil: when the sun lies 0° – 6° below the horizon Nautical: when the sun lies 6° – 12° below the horizon Astronomical: when the sun lies 12° – 18° below the horizon Note: not all twilight phases occur in all locations/times – for example, the sun may never set far enough for there to be an astronomical twilight phase at northern latitudes in summer. Accurate, but possibly insufficient to understand how you would leverage this information in your photography. TPE for Desktop includes a glossary of terms, which describes each twilight phase as follows: Civil twilight: Civil twilight is defined as the period when the sun lies between 6 and 0 degrees below the horizon. Of the celestial bodies, only the brightest stars and planets remain visible during civil twilight. Illumination is bright enough to distinguish objects in the landscape."

During astronomical twilight, the geometric center of the Sun's disk is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. To the naked eye, and especially in areas with light pollution, it may be difficult to distinguish astronomical twilight from night time. Most stars and other celestial objects can be seen during this phase. However, astronomers may be unable to observe some of the fainter stars and galaxies as long as the Sun is less than 18 degrees below the horizon – hence the name of this twilight phase.

Seasons result from Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth 's axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane. [ 2] [3] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant. Red and green trees in autumn (fall)During May, June, and July, the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is Earth's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months, which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July, and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December, January, and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere. In temperate and subpolar regions, four calendar -based seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter. Ecologists often use a six-season model for temperate climate regions: prevernal, vernal, estival, serotinal, autumnal, and hibernal."

Use \"\"Back\"\" to return here. Motions of the Earth Rotation Rotation of the earth causes day and night. Before sunrise and after sunset some light is scattered over the horizon by the atmosphere, giving us twilight. Civil twilight is defined as the time when the sun is less than 6 degrees below the horizon, about half an hour before sunrise or after sunset in middle latitudes. During civil twilight it is light enough to conduct many activities without artificial light. Nautical twilight is the period when the sun is 6-12 degrees below the horizon, when the horizon is still distinct enough for navigational sightings. Astronomical twilight is the period when the sun is 12-18 degrees below the horizon. Once the sun is more than 18 degrees below the horizon, the sky is dark enough for astronomical observations. At high latitudes, the sun may not get far enough below the horizon for certain kinds of twilight during the summer."

But the light just before and after sunrise and sunset can be marvelous. If you've tried to look up when sunrise and sunset occur though you may have ended up a bit confused since many sources list times for three different kinds of twilight. If you've wondered what's up with civil twilight, nautical twilight and astronomical twilight, read on. At first glance, it would seem that the sun comes up when it crosses the horizon — before that it's dark, and after that it's daylight. But the sun is no small object so it takes a while to cross the horizon. Does daylight officially begin when the sun starts to come up, or when the whole thing is above the horizon? The color of the sky changes quite a bit during this interval, so if you want to be in the right place at the right time, these things matter. But it gets even more interesting than that since it actually starts to get light even before the sun peeks over the horizon."

Sundown and sunrise, dawn and dusk were the words used in everyday language. “Twilight” refers to two different times. First, it refers to the time of day between sunrise and dawn, and secondly it refers to the time between dusk and sunset. It is the time when the sunlight scatters in the upper atmosphere of the Earth and illuminates the Earth’s lower atmosphere. The result is that neither the Earth is completely dark or completely lit.

There is no strict legal or formal definition of who is or is not a member of the British royal family and, apart from Queen Elizabeth II herself, different lists include different people. Those who at the time are entitled to the style His or Her Royal Highness (HRH), and any styled His or Her Majesty (HM), are normally considered members, including those so styled before the beginning of the current monarch's reign. By this criterion, a list of the current royal family will usually include the monarch, the children and male-line grandchildren of the monarch and previous monarchs, the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, and all their current or widowed spouses. Different terms may be applied to the same or similar group of relatives of the monarch in his or her role as sovereign of any of the other Commonwealth realms. For example, in Canada the family is officially known as the Canadian royal family. Some members of the royal family have official residences named as the places from which announcements are made in the Court Circular about official engagements they have carried out. The state duties and staff of some members of the royal family are funded from a parliamentary annuity, the amount of which is fully refunded by the Queen to the Treasury. [ 1]Since 1917, when King George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, members of the royal family belong, either by birth or by marriage, to the House of Windsor. Senior titled members of the royal family do not usually use a surname, although since 1960 Mountbatten-Windsor, incorporating Prince Philip 's adopted surname of Mountbatten, has been prescribed as a surname for Elizabeth II's direct descendants who do not have royal styles and titles, and it has sometimes been used when required for those who do have such titles."

He offered the dignity to 200 gentlemen of good birth, with a clear estate of ₤ 1,000 a year, on condition that each one should pay a sum equivalent to three years' pay to 30 soldiers at 8d per day per man (total – £1,095) into the King's Exchequer. The Baronetage of England comprises all baronetcies created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. In that year, the Baronetage of England and the Baronetage of Nova Scotia were replaced by the Baronetage of Great Britain. The extant baronetcies are listed below in order of precedence (i.e. date). All other baronetcies, including extinct, dormant (D), unproven (U), under review (R) or forfeit, are on a separate list of baronetcies.

"text": "\"Society & Culture Royalty Do Prince Harry and Prince William have surnames? Don't they have last names, e.g. the Tudors, or something like that?2 following 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Titled royals really do not use surnames the same way we do. They use royal house names or title names. William and Harry are of The Royal House of Windsor. But they are also part of Charles,the Prince of Wales' family and are often identified by the name Wales. They use their TITLE names in the military. Andrew,who is Duke of York,has daughters identified as Beatrice of York and Eugenie of York,or just Beatrice York,Eugenie York. But all of of The Royal House of Windsor. The easy rule is if you have a title,use it as your name to distinquish your branch of the family from the rest of the Windsors. Edward and Sophie are Earl and Countess of Wessex,but they chose non-royal titles for their children."

"text": "\"copied from the Craton website: http://www.craton.net/genealogy/index.htm The Ancient History of the Distinguished Surname Creighton Few areas in Britain have produced as many notable families in world history such as the names Armstrong, Nixon, Graham, Bell. Carson, Hume, lrving. Lock, Rutherford, as the border region between England and Scotland. The family name Creighton or Crichton is included in this group. Researchers have confirmed the first documented history of this name in lowland Scotland and northern England, tracing it through many ancient manuscripts, including private collections of historical and genealogical records, the Inquisitio, the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, the Ragman Rolls, The Hearth Rolls, the Domesday Book, parish cartularies, baptismals and tax rolls. The first record of the name Creighton was found in Midlothian where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A. D. Different spellings of the name were found in the archives researched, typically linking each alternate to the root source of the surname. The surname Creighton, occurred in many references, from time to time the surname was spelt Crichton, Crighton, Creighton, Creyghton, Creaton, Craighton, Cretan, Creeton, Crichten, Chreichton, Creichtone, Creychton, Creychtoun, Creychtoune or Krichton and Krechton (in Germany) and probably many others, including Craton and Crayton. These changes in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and son or between two occasions of the same person. Scribes and church officials recorded the name from its sound. The family name Creighton is believed to be descended originally from the Strathclyde Britons."

As with all London's original gentlemen’s clubs, it comprised an all-male membership for decades, but was the first to change its rules to include the admission of women on equal terms in 1981. Since its founding, the Reform Club has been the traditional home for those committed to progressive political ideas, with its membership initially consisting of Radicals and Whigs. However, today it is no longer associated with any particular political party, and now serves a purely social function. And today's Reformers are men and women drawn from many backgrounds and a wide field of professional life. \"\" The Reform\"\" (as it is known in common parlance) currently enjoys extensive reciprocity with similar clubs around the world; and attracts a significant number of foreign members, such as diplomats accredited to the Court of St. James's. Of the current membership of around 2700, some 500 are overseas members, and over 400 are women. [ 1]History19th century The club was founded in 1836 by Edward Ellice, Member of Parliament (MP) for Coventry and Whig Whip, whose riches came from the Hudson's Bay Company but whose zeal was chiefly devoted to securing the passage of the Reform Act 1832. This new club, for members of both Houses of Parliament, was intended to be a forum for the radical ideas which the First Reform Bill represented: a bastion of liberal and progressive thought that became closely associated with the Liberal Party, who largely succeeded the Whigs in the second half of the 19th century. Brooks's Club, the headquarters of the old Whig aristocracy, was neither able nor prepared to open its doors to a flood of new men, so preliminary meetings were held at Ellice's house to plan a much larger club, which would promote 'the social intercourse of the reformers of the United Kingdom'."

Known to friends as \"\"Bungo\"\", he was born to a noble family at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire, England, and educated at Eton College, along with his brothers. Upon graduation, Byng received a commission as a militia officer and thereafter saw service in Egypt and Sudan before he enrolled in the Staff College at Camberley. There, he befriended individuals who would be his contemporaries when he attained senior rank in France. Following distinguished service during the First World War —specifically, with the British Expeditionary Force in France, in the Battle of Gallipoli, as commander of the Canadian Corps at Vimy Ridge, and as commander of the British Third Army —Byng was in 1919 himself elevated to the peerage. In 1921 he was appointed as governor general by King George V, on the recommendation of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Lloyd George, to replace the Duke of Devonshire as viceroy, and occupied that post until succeeded by the Viscount Willingdon in 1926. Byng proved to be popular with Canadians, due to his war leadership, though stepping directly into political affairs became the catalyst for widespread changes to the role of the Crown in all of the British Dominions. After the end of his viceregal tenure, Byng returned to be appointed Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and was promoted within the peerage to become Viscount Byng of Vimy.

"text": "\"Mnemonics: What Are Acrostics? Defined in broad terms, a mnemonic is a device, procedure, or operation that is used to improve memory. Defined in narrow terms — and what is usually meant by the word — a mnemonic is a specific reconstruction of target content intended to tie new information more closely to the learner's existing knowledge base and, therefore, facilitate retrieval. There are a variety of mnemonic techniques, including keywords, pegwords, acronyms, acrostics, loci methods, spelling mnemonics, phonetic mnemonics, number-sound mnemonics, and Japanese “Yodai” methods. Acrostics support recall by creating an entire sentence with the first letter of each word being the prompt for the to-be-recalled information. For example, the planets in the order from the sun correspond to the first letter of each word in the sentence “my very educated mother just sent us nine pizzas.” Below are several more examples. It should be noted that there are at least two problems in teaching mnemonics to children with learning disabilities. The first problem is that it overlooks the sequential fashion of learning. Mnemonics instruction is, to a large extent, instruction in memory techniques, which should be taught only after the skill of memory has been learned."

He served both as Attorney General and as Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. [ 6] His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a sceptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. While his own practical ideas about such a method, the Baconian method, did not have a long-lasting influence, the general idea of the importance and possibility of a sceptical methodology makes Bacon the father of scientific method."

An embargo is usually created as a result of unfavorable political or economic circumstances between nations. An embargo is designed to isolate a country and create difficulties for its governing body forcing it to act on the issue that led to the embargo. Next Up Nontariff Barrier Customs Barrier Voluntary Export Restraint - VERTariff War BREAKING DOWN 'Embargo'A strategic embargo prevents the exchange of military goods with a country. A trade embargo restricts anyone from exporting to the target nation. Because many nations rely on global trade, an embargo is a powerful tool that can influence a nation economically and politically. A trade embargo can have serious negative consequences on the affected nation's economy. The decisions on trade embargoes and other economic sanctions made by the United States are often based on mandates by the United Nations. Allied countries frequently band together to make joint agreements to restrict trade with specific nations to force humanitarian changes or reduce perceived threats to international peace. U. S.

"text": "\"President Obama shakes hands with Cuban President Raul Castro. ( Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)Based on a new poll it commissioned on U. S. relations with Cuba, the Atlantic Council issued a report recently calling for a “ policy shift ” that would end the U. S. embargo on the Castro regime. But when asked to respond to the statement that “after more than 50 years of no U. S. relations with Cuba the Castro regime remains in power,” 51 percent of those polled want to keep the current policy in place. Nevertheless, the key issue is not whether the embargo is popular. Rather, the main question is, would dropping the embargo better serve the interests of the United States? The answer to this question remains a strong \"\"no,\"\" because ending the embargo would be bad business, strengthen an oppressive government and abandon American values. The U. S. should not normalize trade with the Castro regime for the plain and simple reasons that his ventures lose money and his government is an international “deadbeat.” Any economic partnerships with authoritarian regimes are morally suspect, but making deals with the Castro government is pouring billions of dollars down the drain. In 1986, Cuba defaulted on its multibillion dollar debt to the Paris Club of nations. That debt is now estimated to be around $37 billion and the Castro government refuses to pay it."

I've heard them all, and frankly the PEOPLE are more important than anything else. To answer your question, the United States imposed sanctions against Cuba in 1962 shortly after Fidel Castro seized power. The embargo was a response to Castro's nationalization of American-owned enterprises; it sought to deprive Cuba of foreign exchange and hasten the end of communism. Before 1962, more than two-thirds of Cuba's foreign trade had been with the United States -- so when the embargo came into effect Cuba had to find alternative markets, and became highly dependent on the Soviet Union. The embargo has since been strengthened, most recently by a 1996 bill -- the Helms-Burton bill -- which punishes foreign companies dealing with Cuba. I left a link to the US Treasury Dept."

S. embargo on Cuba that began just after our TV show I Love Lucy ended in 1960, is still going on 53 years later?”Good question. The United States’ embargo against Cuba is a commercial, economic, and financial prohibition imposed on Cuba in October 1960. It was enacted after Cuba nationalized the properties of United States citizens and corporations. Titled the Cuban Democracy Act, the embargo has the stated purpose of maintaining sanctions on Cuba so long as the Cuban government continues to refuse to move toward “democratization and greater respect for human rights.” The embargo restricts United States citizens from doing business in or with Cuba, and mandates restrictions on giving public or private assistance unless and until certain claims against the Cuban government are met. Cuba’s confiscation of businesses and property, has resulted in $1.8 billion in certified claims according to the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States. With accrued interest that total now stands at $6 billion. To get a perspective on this, US foreign aid presently totals $50 billion per year."

"text": "\"The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was created in 1960 to unify and protect the interests of oil-producing countries. The organization allows oil-producing countries to guarantee their income by coordinating policies and prices among them. This unified front was created primarily in response to the efforts of Western oil companies to drive oil prices down. The original members included Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. OPEC has since expanded to include seven more countries — Algeria, Angola, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates — making a total membership of 12. OPEC represents a considerable political and economical force. Two-thirds of the oil reserves in the world belong to its members; likewise, OPEC members are responsible for half of the world's oil exports. The fact that the organization controls the availability of a substance so universally sought after by modern society makes it a force to be reckoned with. The first display of the power that OPEC could have on the world's politics was in the 1970s. When the Yom Kippur War exploded in the Middle East, the United States assisted Israel in defending itself against the Egyptian and Syrian armies."

By Tony Karon Wednesday, Apr. 21, 2010Tweet Read Later Email Print Share Reprints Follow @TIMENo, you can't go to Cuba to see for yourself how little Elian is doing — at least not legally, anyway. Because despite agreeing a few days ago to relax restrictions on selling food and medicine to Cuba, the House Republican leadership, supported by a number of Democrats, held out against moves to relax the law forbidding Americans from spending money in Cuba, which effectively outlaws most tourism. But the Elian Gonzalez saga, coming hard on the heels of Congress's permanently normalizing trade relations with China (and the Clinton administration's easing of sanctions against Iran and North Korea), has raised again the question of why the U. S. still maintains an economic embargo of Cuba. After all, it was imposed 38 years ago by President Kennedy, and while it's been dutifully endorsed by all seven U. S. presidents since then, Fidel Castro appears to be even more firmly entrenched in power than in Kennedy's time. In other words, it may have had a profound effect on the Cuban economy, but the embargo has been a singular failure in its primary mission — to unseat the Cuban dictator. And that has prompted a growing movement in the corridors of power to reconsider the policy. Once the preserve of dedicated liberals and lefties, opposition to the U. S. embargo on Cuba these days is an ever-expanding tent. The recent congressional effort to relax aspects of the embargo was led by farm-state Republicans and echoed a growing consensus even inside the GOP. The National Bipartisan Commission on Cuba, whose calls for a comprehensive review of U. S. policy have thus far been rebuffed by President Clinton, includes not only 16 GOP Senators (and eight Democrats), but also some of the GOP foreign policy heavyweights lined up by the Bush campaign, including former Secretaries of State Kissinger, Schultz and Eagleburger."

( Kacper Pempel/Reuters)For many policymakers, economic sanctions have become the tool of choice to respond to major geopolitical challenges, from counterterrorism to conflict resolution. Backgrounder by Jonathan Masters Last updated August 7, 2017Introduction Governments and multinational bodies impose economic sanctions to try to alter the strategic decisions of state and nonstate actors that threaten their interests or violate international norms of behavior. Critics say sanctions are often poorly conceived and rarely successful in changing a target’s conduct, while supporters contend they have become more effective in recent years and remain an essential foreign policy tool. Sanctions have become the defining feature of the Western response to several geopolitical challenges, including North Korea’s nuclear program and Russia’s intervention in Ukraine. What are economic sanctions? Economic sanctions are defined as the withdrawal of customary trade and financial relations for foreign and security policy purposes. They may be comprehensive, prohibiting commercial activity with regard to an entire country, like the long-standing U. S. embargo of Cuba, or they may be targeted, blocking transactions of and with particular businesses, groups, or individuals. Since 9/11, there has been a pronounced shift toward targeted or so-called “smart” sanctions, which aim to minimize the suffering of innocent civilians."

"text": "\"Great Britain: Orders in Council and Licenses. 1800-1810By Tom Holmberg Introduction The maritime war between Great Britain and France was a great opportunity for neutral trade. Exports from the United States rose from $20 million in 1790 to 138.6 million by 1807. The outbreak of war in 1793 saw the British government gradually enforce increasingly rigorous policies towards neutral trade. To counter British naval superiority, France had opened its colonial ports, which had been closed before the war, to neutral trade. Britain pledged to put an end to neutral trade. The United States held that if a ship was neutral, the goods on board were also neutral—\"\"free ships make free goods.\"\" Britain on the other hand followed its Rule of 1756, a policy the United States had accepted as part of Jay's Treaty of 1795, which held that neutrals could not in wartime engage in trade that had been prohibited during peacetime. In 1783 the Earl of Sheffield wrote, in regards to opening the British colonies to free trade with the newly-liberated United States, \"\"The Navigation act, the basis of our great power at sea, gave us the trade of the world: if we alter that act, by permitting any state to trade with our islands, or by suffering any state to bring into this country any produce but its own, we desert the Navigation act, and sacrifice the marine of England.\"\" After the start of the war with France, the Order in Council of July 1783 reaffirmed Britain's commitment to the Navigation Act."

The embargo was imposed in response to the violations of the United States neutrality, in which American merchantmen and their cargo were seized as contraband of war by the belligerent European navies. The British Royal Navy, in particular, resorted to impressment, forcing thousands of American seamen into service on their warships. Britain and France, engaged in the Napoleonic Wars, rationalized the plunder of U. S. shipping as incidental to war and necessary for their survival. Americans saw the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair as a particularly egregious example of a British violation of American neutrality. Perceived diplomatic insults and unwarranted official orders issued in support of these actions by European powers were argued by some to be grounds for a U. S. declaration of war. President Thomas Jefferson acted with restraint as these antagonisms mounted, weighing public support for retaliation. He recommended that Congress respond with commercial warfare, rather than with military mobilization."

As the world's leading neutral carrier, the United States was the principal sufferer from this manner of waging war. In December 1807 Congress laid an embargo, a ban on commerce that made it unlawful for American ships to leave American ports. Congress wanted to protect the nation's maritime resources from being seized. The embargo's sponsors also hoped that depriving Britain and France of the benefit of the American carrying trade would lead the belligerent nations to stop seizing U. S. ships. The embargo caused economic distress at home. The Federalist Party, centered in New England, used that distress to recover political control of the New England states from their rivals, the Republicans. The opposition of the Federalist state governments to the embargo encouraged commercial traders to evade its provisions. Massachusetts, which at that time included present-day Maine, even threatened to make it unlawful to enforce the embargo within the state. New England Federalists also threatened to withdraw from the union with the other states if the embargo was not repealed."

"text": "\"What Is Historical Fiction? By H. Scott Dalton © 2006, H. Scott Dalton Historical fiction is far from the most popular of fiction genres. Look on the shelves of your favorite bookstore: the overwhelming numbers of fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thriller, contemporary, and literary works tend to drown the historical titles on the shelves. In fact, the number of works of history in the average Barnes & Noble is probably greater than the number of works of historical fiction. The genre is often the domain of historians turned novelists, or of military men and women who have decided to write a novel (in which case they are often shelved as \"\"War\"\" novels rather than \"\"Historical Fiction,\"\" further testament to the form's poor reputation). Why? It may have something to do with the public's on-again, off-again appreciation of history in general, or a general perception that historical fiction is simply another flavor of history, a subject many learned to dread in school. But what is historical fiction, really? Is it history by a different name? Or is it something else, related to history but separate?"

When what you’re doing doesn’t work for fifty years, it’s time to try something new,\"\" President Obama said in tonight's speech. \"\" Our shift in Cuba policy has the potential to end a legacy of mistrust in our hemisphere; removes a phony excuse for restrictions in Cuba; stands up for democratic values; and extends the hand of friendship to the Cuban people. And this year, Congress should begin the work of ending the embargo,\"\" he said. Tonight's call to action comes after the president has taken all of the steps that the executive branch can to normalize relations with the Communist nation but only Congress can lift the longstanding trade embargo.

S.-Cuba relations had long been expected to be a big part of the president's State of the Union address since he made the landmark announcement last month establishing more ways for Americans to travel to the island nation and plans to begin opening trade and full embassies in both nations. Another indication that the area would be addressed in this evening's speech was the fact that Alan Gross, the American freed as part of a humanitarian release in December after being held in Cuba for five years, a move that triggered the new relations, was listed to attend as a special guest of the White House. During the speech, President Obama said that he was \"\"overjoyed\"\" that Gross was released."

Washington (CNN) Havana is getting its first U. S. embassy in more than half a century -- but don't pack your bags just yet. President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that the two countries are formally reestablishing diplomatic ties with the opening of embassies in each other's capitals, marking the most momentous step in the diplomatic thaw Obama initiated with Cuba in December. It puts the U. S. on a path of access to the island that many Americans tourists might like to enjoy, but stops just shy of open travel. The agreement does, though, mark the most sweeping change in U. S. policy toward the nation that lies just 100 miles off the U. S. coast since the U. S. embargo on Cuba started in the early 1960s. There's a lot at play though. Here are 10 things you need to know: When did the U. S. and Cuba agree to reopen embassies? A public dialogue between the two countries resumed in December, when Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro announced that they would begin working to normalize relations. That came at the same time as Cuba agreed to release Alan Gross, an American aid worker imprisoned in Cuba since 2009 -- an apparent show of good faith from the Cuban government."

Greek Yogurt Serving Size What Are Some of the Benefits of Eating Yogurt on a Regular Basis? Is Plain Yogurt or Cottage Cheese Better for You? Greek yogurt is one of those foods that contradicts the saying \"\"if it tastes good, it must be bad for you.\"\" The yogurt is heavily strained to remove liquid whey and lactose, leaving behind a tangy, creamy product. Plain Greek yogurt has double the protein, half the carbs and half the sodium of the regular variety. Additionally, Greek yogurt can easily be swapped for other fats when baking or cooking. Keep in mind, however, that some varieties of Greek yogurt are high in fat and have less calcium than regular yogurt. Additionally, Greek yogurt is nearly double the cost of regular varieties.

They're low in calories and packed with calcium and live bacterial cultures.

Greece is blessed with a wide gamut of basic ingredients that flourish in this perfect Mediterranean climate. First and foremost, of course, are olives and olive oil, which are as basic as water to the Greeks. Fruits, greens, and a wide array of fresh, seasonal vegetables and legumes are the mainstay of traditional Greek cooking, some with distinctly regional associations. Greece is also blessed with a wealth of “natural gourmet” products, foods that come from the land or sea and that have a long history, such as honey, saffron (Krokos Kozani), Mastiha Chios, a great wealth of herbs, both fresh and dried, and botargo as well as other preserved seafood specialties. The sea provides excellent conditions for organized fisheries, and aquaculture is one of the most important industries in Greece. Greeks have been consumers of cheese and yogurt from time immemorial. While feta is the best-known Greek cheese, there are at least 60 unique regional cheeses. Other specialty foods that define the Greek table and boast both historical and cultural depth are the sweet and savory rusks, called paximadia.

Milk is heated and seeded with live, active cultures, including Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The bacterial cultures transform the milk into yogurt in a process called fermentation.

After the milk has fermented, manufacturers strain the yogurt extensively to remove liquids. The end result is much thicker and more protein-dense than regular yogurt. Lose Weight."

By Carin Lane, Graphic Designer/Health & Fitness writer/blogger on March 27, 2013 at 4:00 AMPrint 6Yogurt and more so Greek yogurt is fastly becoming a dietary staple. Nutritionists and even celebrity trainers recommend eating a serving of greek yogurt daily as a snack or an easy on-the-go breakfast or lunch. Dr. Joseph Colella, an internationally recognized Robotic and Bariatric Surgeon current Director of Robotic Surgery at Magee Women’s Hospital and St. Margaret’s Hospital at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, warns that this craze is merely being driven by sugar as the sugar count in fruit-flavored Greek yogurt goes way over the limit. Dr. Colella recommends that people never consume food with a liquid consistency that exceeds more than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Also, because there is very little digestion involved with consuming yogurt, this sugar is then rapidly absorbed. “The fact that people are making Greek yogurt a staple of their dietary routine is scary,” says Dr. Colella. “ It will absolutely sabotage their weight loss efforts if that is your goal.” In general, he warns against dairy consumption because the sugar content and the difficulty it poses for a person’s GI tract. I asked Dr. Colella a few questions about his statements and this is what he had to say via email: Q: Greek yogurt has gained in popularity because of its claim to provide essential probiotics, calcium, and protein that our bodies need."

"text": "\"Yogurt Smackdown: Greek vs. Regular Fitday Editor Fitness You're not alone if you have ever wondered, \"\"What's the difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt?\"\" Greek yogurt's popularity has been skyrocketing lately, and you may wonder what all the fuss is about. Is Greek yogurt more nutritious than regular yogurt? With nearly 28% of Americans now eating yogurt on a daily basis, it's a question worth investigating. Yogurt comes from milk that has had healthy bacteria added, causing it to ferment. During this process, yogurt thickens and takes on a slightly tangy taste. Yogurt is then strained through a cheesecloth, which allows the liquid whey part of milk to drain off. Regular yogurt is strained twice, while Greek yogurt is strained three times to remove more whey (leaving a thicker consistency). While all yogurt provides numerous health benefits (including probiotics), the nutritional stats for Greek yogurt and regular yogurt do differ. Here's how the two stack up: Protein - Greek yogurt has almost double the protein of regular yogurt."

It comes in the same flavors or plain, and you can eat it as a snack or incorporate it in recipes, desserts and smoothies. There are benefits to eating Greek yogurt, and comparing it to regular yogurt can help you choose which one is best for your dietary needs. This yogurt has many benefits along with a taste that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Protein Greek yogurt can have twice as much protein as regular yogurt. The extra protein will help you feel full and leave you feeling satisfied. Commercial Greek yogurts at supermarkets have almost double the protein content of standard yogurt brands. One cup of plain, low-fat conventional yogurt usually contains 5 to 10 grams of protein, where Greek yogurt averages about 13 to 20 grams of protein. Sodium Salt is a big red flag, and many consumers are looking for lower in salt items. According to the USDA, Greek yogurt has less sodium by up to 50 percent."

What Are the Benefits of Natural Yogurt? Greek yogurt’s more expensive price tag and ubiquitous presence on store shelves may make it seem like a fad, but there’s plenty of logic behind its massive popularity. Besides its thick, creamy texture -- due to straining out much of the whey that’s in typical yogurt -- Greek yogurt boasts a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals as well as healthy probiotics and nourishing protein. Versatility Greek yogurt is most common in the plain, unflavored variety, so it’s easily able to substitute for other dairy products and absorb different flavors. The Office of Research Services suggests using Greek yogurt as a lower-fat substitute for sour cream, mayonnaise, cream or ice cream. To add nutrients and cut fat in baked goods, replace up to 1/4 the total quantity of wet ingredients in a recipe with Greek yogurt or mix a small amount of it into frosting."

"text": "INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL PROTOZOOLOGYWhat Are Protozoa? Deciphering the Greek roots results in defining protozoa as 'first' (proto) 'animals' (zoa). Although molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that protozoa are among the earliest branching eukaryotes (see phylogenetic tree ), such a definition does not provide much descriptive information. Protozoa are not easily defined because they are diverse and are often only distantly related to each other. Due to the extreme diversity of the protozoa the only feature common to all protozoa is that they are unicellular eukaryotic micro-organisms. Protozoa possess typical eukaryotic organelles and in general exhibit the typical features of other eukaryotic cells. For example, a membrane bound nucleus containing the chromosomes is found in all protozoan species. However, in many protozoan species some of the organelles may be absent, or are morphologically or functionally different from those found in other eukaryotes. In addition, many of the protozoa have organelles that are unique to a particular group of protozoa. Questions one might ask in regards to defining protozoa include: What do they look like?"

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle apparently began the discussion on taxonomy. British naturalist John Ray is credited with revising the concept of naming and describing organisms. During the 1700s, Swedish botanist Carolus Linneus classified all then-known organisms into two large groups: the kingdoms Plantae and Animalia. Robert Whittaker in 1969 proposed five kingdoms: Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista, and Monera. Other schemes involving an even greater number of kingdoms have lately been proposed, however most biologists employ Whittaker's five kingdoms. Recent studies suggest that three domains be employed: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. The classification of a rose is shown in Figure 1, while that of a warbler is illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 1.

These questions are not as easy to answer as you may like, as soon as you start to look closely at the way we use these words our simple definitions of what they mean seem full of holes. Scientists and philosophers are still arguing about where the boundaries between life and non-life lie. It is in inherent in the way we as humans think that we like to assign everything to categories with hard well defined borders. It is unfortunate for us that a serious study of the world around us seems to indicate that hard well defined borders do not actually exist in many cases. We all know what a plant is, what an animal is and that the two are not the same. If we are pushed for definitions we may say that plants sit still and get there energy from the sun via photosynthesis (the chlorophyll for which makes them green) while animals move around and get there energy from eating other living things, either dead or alive. This is relatively true and most living things are either animals, plants or something else such as fungi or bacteria. However there are animals that don't move, and there are plants that have no chlorophyl and get no energy from the sun."

While organisms in Protista are disparate, they all have no complex tissue, separating them from the other eukaryotes. They eventually evolved into other eukaryotes. Also, they are a miscellaneous group for eukaryotes after the other groups are crossed. What does a cladogram of a group of organisms represent?"

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Zoology or Animal Biology What organisms does the kingdom protista contain? Flag What organisms does the kingdom protista contain? Answer by Charmayne13 Confidence votes 1.3KThe kingdom protista contains organisms that are unicellular eukaryotes not classified as plants, animals, fungi or bacteria. The kingdom protista contains varieties of eukaryotic organisms, some single celled, some multicellular, and still others live in a colony of cells. For instance, the Kingdom Protista contains the groups of organisms that are one-celled protozoa, one-celled algae, slime molds and water molds. Examples are amoeba, diatom, paramecium, rotifer, and euglena. Kingdom Protista is now a defunct taxon. The reason for this was because it was a wastebasket taxon, i.e. the one thing its members had in common was that they didn't fit anywhere else. As such, it's incredibly difficult to point to any \"\"average\"\" protist, as there would be others in the group that are nothing like them. Kingdom Protista was recently dissolved into several kingdoms that have traits in common, including Amoebozoa, Rhizaria, and Excavata."

"text": "Aristotle's Rhetoric First published Thu May 2, 2002; substantive revision Mon Feb 1, 2010Aristotle's Rhetoric has had an enormous influence on the development of the art of rhetoric. Not only authors writing in the peripatetic tradition, but also the famous Roman teachers of rhetoric, such as Cicero and Quintilian, frequently used elements stemming from the Aristotelian doctrine. Nevertheless, these authors were interested neither in an authentic interpretation of the Aristotelian works nor in the philosophical sources and backgrounds of the vocabulary that Aristotle had introduced to rhetorical theory. Thus, for two millennia the interpretation of Aristotelian rhetoric has become a matter of the history of rhetoric, not of philosophy. In the most influential manuscripts and editions, Aristotle's Rhetoric was surrounded by rhetorical works and even written speeches of other Greek and Latin authors, and was seldom interpreted in the context of the whole Corpus Aristotelicum. It was not until the last few decades that the philosophically salient features of the Aristotelian rhetoric were rediscovered: in construing a general theory of the persuasive, Aristotle applies numerous concepts and arguments that are also treated in his logical, ethical, and psychological writings. His theory of rhetorical arguments, for example, is only one further application of his general doctrine of the sullogismos, which also forms the basis of dialectic, logic, and his theory of demonstration. Another example is the concept of emotions: though emotions are one of the most important topics in the Aristotelian ethics, he nowhere offers such an illuminating account of single emotions as in the Rhetoric. Finally, it is the Rhetoric, too, that informs us about the cognitive features of language and style.1. Works on Rhetoric2."

I analyze a number of widespread misconceptions concerning species. The species category, defined by a concept, denotes the rank of a species taxon in the Linnaean hierarchy. Biological species are reproducing isolated from each other, which protects the integrity of their genotypes. Degree of morphological difference is not an appropriate species definition. Unequal rates of evolution of different characters and lack of information on the mating potential of isolated populations are the major difficulties in the demarcation of species taxa.1. What is a species, and what is not? As someone who has published books and papers on the biological species for more than 50 years, and who has revised and studied in detail more than 500 species of birds and many species of other groups of organisms, the reading of some recent papers on species has been a rather troubling experience."

Definining Cumulative Impacts The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Equality Act (CEQA) require that the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of proposed actions be assessed and disclosed. Although NEPA and CEQA define the term cumulative impact similarly, their definitions are slightly different. See footnote: \"\" Cumulative Impacts . \"\" NEPA Definition The NEPA definition of a cumulative impact comes from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), which defines a cumulative impact as:…the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.

A previous post, the Limits of Neuroscience, listed critical problems. Connections are made and pruned each day and one neuron can have 100,000 connections. There are many types of synapses, many types of neuroplasticity in wide networks, and many different types of postsynaptic densities (the complex structure in the post synaptic neuron with over 1000 large intersecting proteins.). A major complication is that neuronal circuits fire in a millisecond, while the same neuron can participate in a totally different circuit the next millisecond. Neurotransmitter types are not static, and subunits of receptors can change, as well. Electrical properties vary, as do myelin patterns. Most mapping projects do not count the astrocyte network, which is not only bigger than the neuronal circuits, but controls the production and maintenance of synapses. Also, neurons participate in multiple types of communication —synchronous brain waves, nanotubes, exosomes, and electrical synapses—not just axon dendrite connections. But, one of the biggest mysteries is the number neuron species and how to define them."

Why it is important? One reason for the interest in the functional role of biodiversity (rather than structural) in ecosystems is that society might be more likely to take action to preserve biodiversity if it could be shown that there was some direct economic gain by doing it (Bengtsson, 1998). Over the last fifteen years, an increasing number of studies have focused on biodiversity. This is principally because the world’s flora and fauna are disappearing at rates greater than during historical mass extinction events (Chapin et al, 2001). As recently suggested by Thomas et al. ( 2004), there is an 18 to 35% risk of species-level extinction resulting from climate changes by the year 2050. Moreover, other processes, for example, agricultural expansion in response to an increasing demand for food, have a negative impact on biodiversity as a result of habitat destruction (Tilman et al., 2001; Humbert and Dorigo, 2005)."

It is about an inherent moral code that is only seen and recognized when a situation comes up unexpectedly; and the instinctive reaction to that unexpected reaction by the one surprised that shows his morality to a particular unexpected situation. Morality or moral codes (established morality) show the level of characteristics known already attributed to that person or a species whole; it is usually expected because each individual or group is pre-classified by others with their expectations of morality or moral code from multiple actions in this area already know by multiple generations of that species or multiple actions already exhibited by that individual over multiple generations or previous actions by the individual. Morality may be a personal attribute but it is also a social attribute; especially when judged by another. Exercised moral behavior is a reaction to an action. This is instantaneous or instinctive and usually expected; especially of a group. A good solid set of morals determine the ability of a group to be able to survive against nature and is needed to be consistent within the group for the group to survive internally against nature.

In the Paleolithic era, there were more than one human species but only one survived until the Neolithic era. Paleolithic humans lived a nomadic lifestyle in small groups.

"text": "The Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Era) -from the beginning of human existence until around 12,000 years ago Why do we call this time in history the Stone Age? During this time humans used stone to make tools and stone was used many times as part of the actual tool. Tools are objects that make our lives easier. A computer or smart phone are examples of modern-day tools. Paleolithic is a word that comes from the two Greek words palaios, meaning old, and lithos, meaning stone. Using a hammer stone for flaking. Which stone do you think is harder, the object stone, or the hammer stone? The first stone tools were used to meet people's three basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing. These were difficult times; there were no stores to buy food, and people had to cooperate in small groups to make clothing and shelter. To hunt for food, early humans formed spears, first by sharpening the ends of sticks, but later by attaching a sharp stone spear-tip to wood using animal sinew."

They are found in the Great Rift Valley of Africa from about 3.3 million years ago. [ 2] [3] They were probably made by Australopithecines. They are found in Europe somewhat later, from about 1 mya (0.7mya for Britain ). The Palaeolithic is by far the longest period of humanity's time, about 99% of human history. [ 4] The geological period which corresponds to the Palaeolithic is the Pleistocene. Stone tools were not only made by our own species, Homo sapiens. They were made by all previous members of the genus, starting with relatively crude tools made by Homo habilis and Homo erectus. In Europe, the large-brained Neanderthal Man ( Homo neanderthalensis) made tools of high quality, and was in turn outshone by the many tools made by our own species. These tools are the first cultural products which have survived. ["

C., humans hadevolved in physical appearance and mental capacity to roughly the same levelas today. Our species, Homo sapiens, had been competing with increasingsuccess for game and campsites with other humanlike creatures for nearly30,000 years. Homo sapiens' enlarged brain, critical to the survival of all ofthe branches of the genus Homo, was virtually the same size as that of modernhumans. The erect posture of Stone Age humans produced a tendency towardspinal strain and backaches that was more than compensated for by the factthat an upright posture freed their hands, as it had those of earlier humanspecies. The combination of a larger brain and free hands with opposablethumbs made it possible for different human species to craft and manipulatetools and weapons of increasing sophistication. These implements helped tooffset the humans' marked inferiority in body strength and speed to rivalpredators, such as wolves and wild cats, as well as to many of the creaturesthat humans themselves preyed on. A more highly developed brain also allowedhumans to transform cries and grunts into the patterned sounds that make uplanguage. Language greatly enhanced the possibilities for cooperation and asense of cohesion within the small bands that were the predominant form ofhuman social organization in this era. By the last phase of the Paleolithicepoch these advantages had made Homo sapiens a species capable of masteringthe earth. Paleolithic Culture No matter how much Homo sapiens sapiens may have developed in physicalappearance and brain capacity by around 12,000 B. C., its culture, with someexceptions, was not radically different from the cultures of the rival humanspecies such as the Neanderthals, who had died out thousands of years earlier."

"text": "Stone Age, prehistoric cultural stage, or level of human development, characterized by the creation and use of stone tools. The Stone Age, whose origin coincides with the discovery of the oldest known stone tools, which have been dated to some 3.3 million years ago, is usually divided into three separate periods— Paleolithic Period, Mesolithic Period, and Neolithic Period —based on the degree of sophistication in the fashioning and use of tools.knapping A researcher shapes obsidian through a technique known as knapping, which was used during the Stone Age to make sharp-edged tools. Displayed by permission of The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved. Paleolithic archaeology is concerned with the origins and development of early human culture between the first appearance of human beings as tool-using mammals (which is believed to have occurred sometime before 3.3 million years ago) and about 8000 bce (near the beginning of the Holocene Epoch [11,700 years ago to the present]). It is included in the time span of the Pleistocene, or Glacial, Epoch—an interval lasting from about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago. Modern evidence suggests that the earliest protohuman forms had diverged from the ancestral primate stock by the beginning of the Pleistocene. In any case, the oldest recognizable tools were found in rock layers of Middle Pliocene Epoch (some 3.3 million years ago), raising the possibility that toolmaking began with Australopithecus or its contemporaries. During the Pleistocene, which followed directly after the Pliocene, a series of momentous climatic events occurred. The northern latitudes and mountainous areas were subjected on four successive occasions to the advances and retreats of ice sheets (known as Günz, Mindel, Riss, and Würm in the Alps), river valleys and terraces were formed, the present coastlines were established, and great changes were induced in the fauna and flora of the globe."

Open Document The separation of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages mark a great divide in the lives and cultures of prehistoric peoples. Many aspects of everyday life were modified to suit a new standard of living. Society, Economy, and Technology were greatly affected by the \"\"Agricultural Revolution\"\" that spawned the Neolithic Age. The Paleolithic Age, Greek for \"\"Old Stone\"\", is the era of the emergence of modern man. During this age, man was a hunter-gatherer species. Due to the plentiful sources of animals and plants, man could simply follow the herds and their migratory patterns. With no proprietary knowledge, each nomadic band was egalitarian as there was no distinction for a social ladder. Despite not having an established society or economy, man in the Paleolithic Age had increasing technology. Their weapons and tools were made of wood and stone, and they had manifested the ability to control fire. The Paleolithic Age also berthed language and thus established the first historical backgrounds of modern man."

"text": "What is the Paleo Diet?6by Jess (Paleo Grubs) in Tips The Paleo Diet is short for the Paleolithic Diet and involves mimicking the eating lifestyle of our ancient ancestors, the ones that roamed the earth 10,000 years ago. It’s all about eating foods that a caveman might have eaten, back before the days of agriculture made it so he didn’t have to go very far for his next meal. It’s hard to imagine a world without farming, but that’s exactly what Stone Age man had to cope with just to exist. Imagine waking up in the morning and your sole problem for the day is what you’re going to eat, and how you’re going to get it. You’d have to travel where the food traveled to, and gather what you could along the way. This means that they were eating a lot of wild animals, whatever they came across and could bring down, and not get killed by themselves. It also meant that any non-animal source of food found along the way was fair game. Think berries and nuts, wild growing fruits and vegetables, these are the kinds of things they subsisted on for thousands and thousands of years. Eat Like a Caveman The idea is that if you eat the way the cavemen did, you’ll end up looking like the cavemen did, with lean, muscular physiques and not much fat to speak of. Testing to see if something is Paleo-approved or not is as easy as trying to determine if they would have been able to eat it before agriculture started."

Salt has been a highly prized substance for thousands of years across all cultures and continents. Yet over the past few decades, excess salt and sodium intake has been blamed for a variety of serious health conditions plaguing our country, such as heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Much debate has centered around determining the level of dietary salt required to maintain optimal health, but over the years the suggested upper limit has continued to shrink. According to the CDC, the average intake of sodium for American adults is about 3,300 mg of sodium a day, which is well above the standard recommendations. ( 1) The USDA urges Americans to consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day, and the American Heart Association (AHA) has an even more strict guideline of consuming less than 1,500 mg a day for general health and disease prevention. ( 2 , 3)It has been theorized that dietary salt consumption was extremely low in the Paleolithic diet – approximately 768 mg of sodium daily – and that inland hunter-gatherers added little or no salt to their food on a regular basis. ( 4) We know these hunter-gatherer diets did not lead to the chronic, Western diseases we see today. The question is, does low salt intake by our distant ancestors mean that adding salt to our food is necessarily harmful? Should we adhere to the AHA sodium guidelines of 1,500 mg or less per day?"

We take look at whether eating like a caveman on the Paleolithic diet can help or hinder your weight loss. The Paleo Diet is now the most searched for diet on Google. It has become the diet of choice by fit, attractive celebrities such as Ray Mears, Megan Fox and Matthew Mc Conaughey; it’s even gained popularity over diets such as the Atkins Diet, the Blood Group Diet, Jenny Craig, the South Beach Diet, etc. Even the highly popular Dukan Diet has been knocked into second place. What is The Paleo Diet? The Paleolithic Diet is also referred to as the Caveman Diet, the Stoneage Diet and the Hunter-Gatherer Diet. The Paleo Diet is not about ripping off chunks of animal with your bare hands – it’s about the type of foods you eat. Based on the understanding that the best human diet is the one to which we have evolved, it is based on the foods that were eaten by those living during the Paleolithic era. The Paleo diet is based around foods that our ancestors are assumed to have eaten in the Paleolithic era 1000 years ago - basically anything that could be hunted or gathered - hence the alternative names for the diet."

Key Terms Mammoth : Alarge, hairy, extinct elephant-like mammal of the taxonomic genus Mammuthus. Hut : A small wooden shed, a primitive temporary dwelling. Paleolithic : Early stage of the Stone Age, when primitive stone tools were used. The Paleolithic Age, or Old Stone Age, spanned from around 30,000 BCE until 10,000 BCE and produced the first accomplishments in human creativity. Due to a lack of written records from this time period, nearly all of our knowledge of Paleolithic human culture and way of life comes from archaeologic and ethnographic comparisons to modern hunter-gatherer cultures.

Bone tools were used during this period as well, but are more rarely preserved in the archaeological record. The Stone Age is further subdivided by the types of stone tools in use. The Stone Age is the first of the three-age system of archaeology, which divides human technological prehistory into three periods: The Stone Age The Bronze Age The Iron Age Historical significance The Stone Age is nearly contemporaneous with the evolution of the genus Homo, the only exception possibly being at the very beginning, when species prior to Homo may have manufactured tools. According to the age and location of the current evidence, the cradle of the genus is the East African Rift System, especially toward the north in Ethiopia, where it is bordered by grasslands. The closest relative among the other living Primates, the genus Pan, represents a branch that continued on in the deep forest, where the primates evolved. The rift served as a conduit for movement into southern Africa and also north down the Nile into North Africa and through the continuation of the rift in the Levant to the vast grasslands of Asia."

Sculpture, being a form of portable or mobiliary art and thus more prone to destruction or loss, is less common, though no less significant in revealing the intellectual and artistic progress of the culture or artist involved. After all, plastic art is invariably more challenging and complex than two-dimensional arts such as drawing or painting. Not surprisingly, therefore, as Stone Age tools improved in quality - from primitive all-purpose implements to highly specialized instruments with differing shapes, blades and weights - so did Stone Age art."

"text": "\"Reference Terms from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Planetary boundary layer The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is also known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). It is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behavior is directly influenced by its contact with the ground. It responds to surface forcings in a timescale of an hour or less. In this layer physical quantities such as flow velocity, temperature, moisture etc., display rapid fluctuations (turbulence) and vertical mixing is strong. Physical laws and equations of motions, which govern the planetary boundary layer dynamics and microphysics, are strongly non-linear and considerably influenced by properties of the earth's surface and evolution of the processes in the free atmosphere. Perhaps the most important processes, which are critically dependent on the correct representation of the PBL in the atmosperic models, are turbulent transport of moisture and pollutants. Clouds in the boundary layer influence trade winds, the hydrological cycle, and energy exchange.

Haine Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2004.05.001 Get rights and content Abstract Mechanisms for the winter-to-winter persistence of North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are studied in a one-dimensional Lagrangian upper ocean model. SST is most sensitive to surface heat flux perturbations. Strong end-of-winter sensitivity to heat flux from one year earlier exists in two anti-nodes of the SST tripole associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation: off the east coast of the United States, and in the sub-polar gyre. They are due to the reemergence of temperature anomalies during winter from the seasonal thermocline. The recurrence is weaker in the third tripole anti-node, west of North Africa, because upper ocean seasonality is weaker there. The effects of wind stress and freshwater flux anomalies on SST are less important than heat flux changes but can be of either sign. They depend on the season and the vertical temperature profile at the perturbation time. These results confirm previous findings from a non-eddy-resolving North Atlantic ocean general circulation model (GCM). The implication of this agreement is that the key processes controlling North Atlantic SST over a seasonal cycle in the GCM are the local response to air–sea flux forcing, transport of anomalies through the seasonal thermocline, and subsequent anomaly reemergence into the model mixed layer. The residual SST anomaly left after computing the contribution from the surface flux anomaly in the previous 1–2 years leaves little scope for other dynamical mechanisms, such as ocean circulation changes or planetary waves in the GCM."

The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle. The Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary is defined by a difference in response to stress: the lithosphere remains rigid for very long periods of geologic time in which it deforms elastically and through brittle failure, while the asthenosphere deforms viscously and accommodates strain through plastic deformation. History of the concept The concept of the lithosphere as Earth’s strong outer layer was described by A. E. H.

The official expert group says the Anthropocene should begin about 1950 and is likely to be defined by the radioactive elements dispersed across Earth by nuclear bomb tests. Photograph: AFP/Getty Images Humanity’s impact on the Earth is now so profound that a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene – needs to be declared, according to an official expert group who presented the recommendation to the International Geological Congress in Cape Town on Monday. The new epoch should begin about 1950, the experts said, and was likely to be defined by the radioactive elements dispersed across the planet by nuclear bomb tests, although an array of other signals, including plastic pollution, soot from power stations, concrete, and even the bones left by the global proliferation of the domestic chicken were now under consideration. The current epoch, the Holocene, is the 12,000 years of stable climate since the last ice age during which all human civilisation developed. But the striking acceleration since the mid-20th century of carbon dioxide emissions and sea level rise, the global mass extinction of species, and the transformation of land by deforestation and development mark the end of that slice of geological time, the experts argue. The Earth is so profoundly changed that the Holocene must give way to the Anthropocene. “The significance of the Anthropocene is that it sets a different trajectory for the Earth system, of which we of course are part,” said Prof Jan Zalasiewicz, a geologist at the University of Leicester and chair of the Working Group on the Anthropocene (WGA), which started work in 2009.“If our recommendation is accepted, the Anthropocene will have started just a little before I was born,” he said. “ We have lived most of our lives in something called the Anthropocene and are just realising the scale and permanence of the change. ”Prof Colin Waters, principal geologist at the British Geological Survey and WGA secretary, said: “Being able to pinpoint an interval of time is saying something about how we have had an incredible impact on the environment of our planet."

During the day, the air within the PBL is thoroughly mixed by convection induced by the heating of Earth’s surface, and the very top of the PBL is an entrainment zone characterized by sporadic and weakening turbulence. The thickness of the PBL depends on the intensity of this surface heating and the amount of water evaporated into the air from the biosphere.

Geology can also refer to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, (such as Mars or the Moon ). Geology describes the structure of the Earth beneath its surface, and the processes that have shaped that structure. It also provides tools to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks found in a given location, and also to describe the histories of those rocks. [ citation needed] By combining these tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole, and also to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates. Geologists use a wide variety of methods to understand the Earth's structure and evolution, including field work, rock description, geophysical techniques, chemical analysis, physical experiments, and numerical modelling. In practical terms, geology is important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, evaluating water resources, understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and providing insights into past climate change."

The atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by creating pressure allowing for liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface, absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention ( greenhouse effect ), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation )."

"text": "Atmosphere, the gas and aerosol envelope that extends from the ocean, land, and ice-covered surface of a planet outward into space. The density of the atmosphere decreases outward, because the gravitational attraction of the planet, which pulls the gases and aerosols (microscopic suspended particles of dust, soot, smoke, or chemicals) inward, is greatest close to the surface. Atmospheres of some planetary bodies, such as Mercury, are almost nonexistent, as the primordial atmosphere has escaped the relatively low gravitational attraction of the planet and has been released into space. Other planets, such as Venus, Earth, Mars, and the giant outer planets of the solar system, have retained an atmosphere. In addition, Earth’s atmosphere has been able to contain water in each of its three phases (solid, liquid, and gas), which has been essential for the development of life on the planet. The atmospheres of planets in the solar system are composed of various gases, particulates, and liquids. They are also dynamic places that redistribute heat and other forms of energy. On Earth, the atmosphere provides critical ingredients for living things. Here, feathery cirrus clouds drift across deep blue sky over Colorado's San Miguel Mountains. W. Perry Conway/Corbis The evolution of Earth’s current atmosphere is not completely understood."

Article written: 26 Mar , 2016 Updated: 25 Mar , 2016 by Fraser Cain Like all the other terrestrial planets, (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) the Earth is made up of many layers. This is the result of it undergoing planetary differentiation, where denser materials sink to the center to form the core while lighter materials form around the outside. Whereas the core is composed primarily of iron and nickel, Earth’s upper layer are composed of silicate rock and minerals. This region is known as the mantle, and accounts for the vast majority of the Earth’s volume. Movement, or convection, in this layer is also responsible for all of Earth’s volcanic and seismic activity. Information about structure and composition of the mantle is either the result of geophysical investigation or from direct analysis of rocks derived from the mantle, or exposed mantle on the ocean floor. Definition: Composed of silicate rocky material with an average thickness of 2,886 kilometres (1,793 mi), the mantle sits between the Earth’s crust and its upper core. The mantle makes up 84% of the Earth by volume, compared to 15% in the core and the remainder being taken up by the crust."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Uranus by Voyager 2The atmosphere of Uranus is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. At depth it is significantly enriched in volatiles (dubbed \"\"ices\"\") such as water, ammonia and methane. The opposite is true for the upper atmosphere, which contains very few gases heavier than hydrogen and helium due to its low temperature. Uranus 's atmosphere is the coldest of all the planets, with its temperature reaching as low as 49 K. The Uranian atmosphere can be divided into three main layers: the troposphere, between altitudes of −300 [a] and 50 km and pressures from 100 to 0.1 bar; the stratosphere, spanning altitudes between 50 and 4000 km and pressures of between 0.1 and 10 −10bar; and the hot thermosphere (and exosphere) extending from an altitude of 4,000 km to several Uranian radii from the nominal surface at 1 bar pressure. [ 1] Unlike Earth 's, Uranus's atmosphere has no mesosphere. The troposphere hosts four cloud layers: methane clouds at about 1.2 bar, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia clouds at 3–10 bar, ammonium hydrosulfide clouds at 20–40 bar, and finally water clouds below 50 bar. Only the upper two cloud layers have been observed directly—the deeper clouds remain speculative. Above the clouds lie several tenuous layers of photochemical haze. Discrete bright tropospheric clouds are rare on Uranus, probably due to sluggish convection in the planet's interior. Nevertheless, observations of such clouds were used to measure the planet's zonal winds, which are remarkably fast with speeds up to 240 m/s."

Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. \"\"earth\"\" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. \"\"study of, discourse\"\" [1] [2]) is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also refer to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, (such as Mars or the Moon ). Geology describes the structure of the Earth beneath its surface, and the processes that have shaped that structure. It also provides tools to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks found in a given location, and also to describe the histories of those rocks. [ citation needed] By combining these tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole, and also to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates. Geologists use a wide variety of methods to understand the Earth's structure and evolution, including field work, rock description, geophysical techniques, chemical analysis, physical experiments, and numerical modelling.

Basic (alkaline) waters have a p H greater than 7, with the most basic waters at p H 14. Natural Acidity. Natural rainwater is slightly acidic because it interacts with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere, forming carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ). Some of the carbonic acid in the rainwater then breaks down (dissociates), producing more hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion, both of which are dissolved in the rainwater."

These topics are covered in detail in Geol. 201. For our current purposes, it is sufficient to state that such processes produce sediment which may ultimately be transformed into sedimentary rock. Sediment can be defined as any material that settles to the bottom of a fluid. Sedimentary rocks are classified in to three major categories based on the nature of the sediment. I. Detrital or Clastic Sediments These rocks are composed of fragments of pre-existing rock that have been eroded, transported and deposited in an accumulation that has subsequently been converted into a hard coherent sedimentary rock. The erosion, transportation and deposition of material by moving water is an energy-controlled process that results in deposits of sediment that are typically well sorted in terms of the size of fragments. As a river slows down on entering the ocean, for example, it will first deposit large materials, followed in turn by sand, silt and finally clay-sized particles. This process leads to the classification of the detrital sediments based on the size of the fragments that make up the sedimentary rock."

Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral's geological environment when formed. Changes in the temperature, pressure, or bulk composition of a rock mass cause changes in its minerals. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral variety, [4] for example amethyst, a purple variety of the mineral species quartz.

T he first people who needed to understand the geological relationships of different rock units were miners. Mining had been of commercial interest since at least the days of the Romans, but it wasn't until the 1500s and 1600s that these efforts produced an interest in local rock relationships. By noting the relationships of different rock units, Nicolaus Steno in 1669 described two basic geologic principles. The first stated that sedimentary rocks are laid down in a horizontal manner, and the second stated that younger rock units were deposited on top of older rock units. To envision this latter principle think of the layers of paint on a wall. The oldest layer was put on first and is at the bottom, while the newest layer is at the top. An additional concept was introduced by James Hutton in 1795, and later emphasized by Charles Lyell in the early 1800s. This was the idea that natural geologic processes were uniform in frequency and magnitude throughout time, an idea known as the \"\"principle of uniformitarianism\"\". Steno's principles allowed workers in the 1600s and early 1700s to begin to recognize rock successions."

"text": "\"Gibbs' Phase Rule: Where it all Begins Author Profile David Mogk, Montana State University Introduction Minerals are the monitors of the physical and chemical conditions under which they formed. The occurrences of minerals, their parageneses (stable associations), types of reactions, and compositional variation (e.g. zoned minerals) all provide important information about geologic history and processes. Of particular importance to geologists are: Estimates of pressure and temperature (geothermobarometry)Estimates of other physico-chemical conditions such as acidity (p H) and oxidation state (e H)Partial pressures of gases (e.g. fugacities of H 2 O, CO 2 , etc. ) Partitioning of major and trace elements between phases (e.g. minerals, melts and/or fluids) to characterize and quantify petrogenetic processes; and Use of minerals in geochronology and thermochronology Gibbs' Phase Rule provides the theoretical foundation, based inthermodynamics, for characterizing the chemical state of a (geologic) system, and predicting the equilibrium relations of the phases (minerals, melts, liquids, vapors) present as a function of physical conditions such as pressure and temperature. Gibbs' Phase Rule also allows us to constructphase diagramsto represent and interpret phase equilibria in heterogeneous geologic systems. In the simplest understanding of phase diagrams, stable phase (mineral) assemblages are represented as \"\"fields\"\" (see colored areas on the figure to the right) in \"\"P-T space\"\", and the boundaries between stable phase assemblages are defined by lines (or curves) that represent reactions between the phase assemblages. The reaction curves actually represent the condition (or the locus of points in P-T space) whereΔGrxn=0; for more information on this point see Gibbs Free Energy. A solid understanding of Gibbs' Phase Rule is required to successfully master the applications of heterogeneous phase equilibria presented in this module. Definitions Gibbs Phase Rule is expressed by the simple formulation: P + F = C + 2, where P is the number of phases in the system A phase is any physically separable material in the system. Every unique mineral is a phase (including polymorphs); igneous melts, liquids (aqueous solutions), and vapor are also considered unique phases."

Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults. Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes. A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is a place where the fault can be seen or mapped on the surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault. ["

"text": "Plate tectonics, theory dealing with the dynamics of Earth ’s outer shell—the lithosphere —that revolutionized Earth sciences by providing a uniform context for understanding mountain-building processes, volcanoes, and earthquakes as well as the evolution of Earth’s surface and reconstructing its past continents and oceans. Earth's tectonic plates Map showing Earth's major tectonic plates with arrows depicting the directions of plate movement. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The concept of plate tectonics was formulated in the 1960s. According to the theory, Earth has a rigid outer layer, known as the lithosphere, which is typically about 100 km (60 miles) thick and overlies a plastic (moldable, partially molten) layer called the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is broken up into seven very large continental- and ocean-sized plates, six or seven medium-sized regional plates, and several small ones. These plates move relative to each other, typically at rates of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) per year, and interact along their boundaries, where they converge, diverge, or slip past one another. Such interactions are thought to be responsible for most of Earth’s seismic and volcanic activity, although earthquakes and volcanoes can occur in plate interiors. Plate motions cause mountains to rise where plates push together, or converge, and continents to fracture and oceans to form where plates pull apart, or diverge. The continents are embedded in the plates and drift passively with them, which over millions of years results in significant changes in Earth’s geography. The theory of plate tectonics is based on a broad synthesis of geologic and geophysical data."

"text": "What Are Class B Plus Motorhomes?by JD Laukkonen · Published July 18, 2013 · Updated March 8, 2015The term “class B motorhome” was coined in the 1970s to refer to the professionally-converted camper vans that were then just coming into vogue. This new class of motorhome appealed to a growing demographic of car campers who wanted the convenience and comfort that comes along with camping in a motorhome without the poor gas mileage and bulkiness of the class A and C rigs of the day. And even though this new class of motorhome may have been, in part, a reaction to the fuel crisis of the 1970s, it has only grown in popularity since then. In face, an all new breed of class B plus motorhomes has come into being in more recent years. Putting the Plus in Class B+The definitions of the three main motorhome classes are pretty cut and dry. Class C rigs are built on cutaway van and truck chassis, class A rigs are built on heavy duty truck, commercial, or custom chassis, and class B motorhomes are built on complete van chassis. Class B motorhomes are the smallest rigs out there, they get the best gas mileage out of any other class of motorhomes, and they’re both easier to drive and park. So what, exactly, puts the “plus” in class B plus motorhomes? Some class B plus motorhomes even feature slide outs. Essentially, class B plus motorhomes are too big to fit in with other class B rigs, but they don’t exactly fit the bill as class C motorhomes either."

Painting an RV can be a costly decision for many, and when it comes to painting, it’s usually done on older models that need to look new again.“ RV ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Linus Henning How much does it cost to paint an RV? On average, the overall cost of a two to four color exterior paint job on an RV is going to cost anywhere from as little as $5,000 to as much as $15,000 for a standard RV longer than 30 feet, and the costs will depend on the length of the RV, the type of paint being used, the geographical location and the professional contractor you’re using. While these prices may seem high, most of the costs will be due to the intensive prep work involved.

We’re looking to buy a motorhome at some point in the near future, so I’m starting to wonder about license requirements. I’d like to test drive a number of rigs before coming to a decision, but I don’t want to get to the lot and find out I don’t have the right qualifications since I just have a regular drivers license. Is there some kind of motorhome drivers license that I need to get, or am I going to need a commercial drivers license? We’ve been specifically looking at class a motorhomes, so it would also be helpful to know if and are there any special class a license requirements that I need to keep in mind. Answer: You’ll have to check the local or state laws in your area to be sure, but in most cases you don’t need any sort of special motorhome drivers license–either to test drive or to hit the road after you buy. There are some exceptions, but they are very unlikely to come into play if you’re looking at anything that even remotely qualifies as a small motorhome. For example, the state of California places restrictions on driving “house cars” that are over 40 feet long. So if you live in California, and you want to drive a diesel pusher that’s longer than 40 feet, you’ll need a class B license. However, you still won’t need a commercial drivers license."

The two basic RV categories are motorized (motorhomes) and non-motorized (trailers and campers). The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association illustrates the different types of RVs. Typical costs: Expect to pay $3,000-$50,000 for a new truck camper, a self-contained unit that slides into the bed of a pickup truck, often with a sleeping area above the cab. Prices vary based on size, quality of materials and amenities such as kitchen appliances, a bathroom or dual-pane windows for warmth. RV trailers can vary from a tent trailer ($3,000-$20,000) that travels as a compact box and pops up to provide a canvas-sided living area; to a conventional travel trailer ($8,000-$65,000 ); to a fifth-wheel trailer ($13,000-$100,000) that is pulled by a medium- to heavy-duty pickup truck ($20,000-$50,000) with a special hitch in the pickup bed; or a toy hauler ($12,000-$80,000 or more) that's a travel trailer or fifth wheel with living quarters up front and a cargo area and ramp in the rear. The smallest motorhome RV is a camper van, also called a Class B Motorhome. At $40,000-$120,000, these units typically look like a standard van, but inside are sleeping areas, a dining/seating area that converts into a bed, basic kitchen appliances and possibly a toilet stall. Class C motorhomes, also called mini-motorhomes or mini-RVs, cost $50,000-$140,000; these are standard mid-sized motorhomes with a van nose and cab attached to a wider fiberglass body. The largest type of motorhome is a Class A ($50,000-$800,000 or more), which resembles a bus or semi-truck."

"text": "\"About Us - Welcome to Guaranty\"\"Eggs are Cheaper in the Country\"\"The Guaranty story began in 1966 when Herb Nill purchased a small-town Chevrolet-Oldsmobile dealership in Junction City, Oregon. In the early 1970s, the Pontiac franchise was added, bringing a third premium General Motors line to the business. Guaranty Chevrolet-Pontiac-Oldsmobile continued to grow at a moderate rate, with the help of the now-famous advertising message, \"\"Eggs are cheaper in the country, and so are cars and trucks.\"\" The message reflected Junction City's past as an inexpensive source of fresh food in the pre-World War II era. Entering the RV Market While recreational vehicles had been around in one form or another for decades, local start-up manufacturers began producing high-quality RVs in the 1970s. One of those companies, Caribou Coach Corporation, helped Herb Nill get started with two vehicles. Things fell into place and by 1977-78, Guaranty was doing brisk business with its RV vehicles. Caribou Coach Corporation was re-named Monaco Coach Corporation in 1977, meaning Guaranty was Monaco's first dealer partner. Country Coach, another local manufacturer, unveiled its first Class A motorhome in 1979, helping to usher in an era of full-time living in full-size RVs for many enthusiasts. And Guaranty was right there for the coming boom. \"\""

"text": "Motorhome Brake Repair August 15, 2013As most of you probably know, I’ve been complaining about a vibration in the steering column of my Class A Motorhome – a 1994 Pace Arrow. After the front air bag suspension replacement failed to produce results, it was time for the next step – a brake job. I jacked the front end up, again. Before removing the front wheels, I concocted a poor man’s dial-indicator (of sorts). Both the front tires and wheels indicated that they were round. Good, potential problem eliminated. However; whilst doing this, it became obvious that the brake rotors were warped. The wheel would spin about 3/4 of a revolution and then stop. It took a fair amount of effort to push the wheel thru the 1/4 rotation where it was binding. I knew what was necessary so I removed the front wheels."

"text": "RV Storage Avid campers often invest in their own RVs in order to take weekend outings to the next level. These homes-on-wheels have the ability to make camping a luxurious experience and bring families closer together. However, owning a camper does come with its share of difficulties—like finding enough room for something of that size at home. Fortunately, self storage facilities across the country provide outdoor RV storage for those who want to free up some driveway space and still have easy access to their recreational vehicles. Reasons for Using RV Storage There are many great reasons for using self storage for your RV. Not only is RV storage an affordable and convenient option, it has many other benefits as well. Free Space RVs come in a wide range of sizes, varying from 5th wheels trailers to actual motorhomes. The largest, the Class A motorhome, can average between 25 to 40 feet long. The large size of most campers can easily take up an entire driveway or cause problems with home storage. Using RV or trailer storage allows you to take back some of that space."

"text": "Motorhomes New RVs Reviews Top Stories Class C’s On the Rise By Rick Kessler - September 24, 2014A look at what’s new from Coachmen, Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler, Jayco, Thor Motor Coach and Winnebago A recent morning at the Coachmen RV manufacturing facility in Middlebury, Indiana — specifically in the building where the company’s Concords, Freelanders, Leprechauns and Prisms are built — is a picture of busyness. Hundreds of employees are installing cabinets, sanding glue seams, caulking corners and performing all other various activities to produce the Class C motorhomes with the Coachmen name on them. “We’re keeping pretty busy,” said Mike Bear, Class C general manager for Coachmen. The employees are producing up to 15 motorhomes each day — “not as many as others,” Bear admitted, but a good clip for them all the same. Class C manufacturers are all pretty busy these days. Wholesale shipments of Class C’s were up 18.7 percent year to date compared to the same time period last year, according to statistics from the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. Built on a truck or van frame attached to the original cab section, Class C motorhomes have long been popular due to their ample living space and easy drivability. Class C’s occupy a comfortable middle ground in the motorized RV segment; larger than the van-sized Class B’s, yet smaller than Class A coaches. A key distinction of most Class C’s is their over-the-cab area, a space that is most often a bed destined for the kids. The vast majority of Class C motorhomes are built on a chassis from Ford or Chevrolet, and to a lesser extent from Freightliner and International, and paired with a V-8 or V-10 gas or diesel engine."

DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 10, 2015 – Recreational vehicle manufacturers are offering all-new motorhome models based on Ford Transit – America’s best-selling commercial van. The newest Transit RV is the Winnebago Fuse, a Class C motorhome built on the new Ford Transit cutaway chassis. It is the latest in a growing number of Transit-based options for active families. “Many of these customers are interested in outdoor adventures like kayaking, mountain biking, snowboarding and such — more national park than RV park,” explains Yaro Hetman, Ford brand manager for Transit, Transit Connect and E-Series. “ Sales of smaller Class C motorhomes have been on the rise for the last few years as younger, more active buyers enter the market. ”Class C motorhomes include vehicle frame, suspension, powertrain and cab, with the living area accessible behind the driver’s compartment. The all-new Ford Transit cutaway offers customers additional options for lighter-weight chassis in Class C motorhomes – a segment where Ford is already a popular choice. Ford E-Series cutaway is the top-selling chassis in this market. “Outdoor adventure-seeking RV customers want compact, maneuverable motorhomes that can comfortably carry their families and gear from one adventure to another,” Hetman says. “ Transit’s efficiency, comfortable ride and affordability make it a great choice as a motorhome for these outdoor enthusiasts."

"text": "Definition of Terms Atomic Mass Isotopes Atomic Weight The Mole Molecular Weight Avogadro's Constant Converting Grams Into Moles Atomic Mass The units in which the mass of an atom are expressed are atomic mass units. At one time, the lightest atom was assigned a mass of 1 amu and the mass of any other atom was expressed in terms of this standard. Today atomic mass units are defined in terms of the 12 C isotope, which is assigned a mass of exactly 12.000... amu. Isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, such as the 20 Ne and 22 Ne isotopes of neon or the 35 Cl and 37 Cl isotopes of chlorine. Atomic Weight The atomic weight of an element is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the different isotopes of an element. Naturally occurring carbon, for example, is a mixture of two isotopes, 12 C (98.89%) and 13 C (1.11 %). Individual carbon atoms therefore have a mass of either 12.000 or 13.03354 amu. But the average mass of the different isotopes of carbon is 12.011 amu. Molecular Weight The molecular weight of a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecules that form these compounds. Example: The molecular weight of the sugar molecule found in cane sugar is the sum of the atomic weights of the 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms in a C 12 H 22 O 11 molecule.12 C atoms = 12 (12.011) amu = 144.132 amu22 H atoms = 22 (1.0079) amu = 22.174 amu11 O atoms = 11 (15.9994) amu = 175.993 amu342.299 amu C 12 H 22 O 11 has a molecular weight of 342.299 amu."

In metallurgy the word \"\"titer\"\" refers to the fineness of gold or silver. In chemistry it is the measure of the concentration of a solution. In medicine it is defined as the extent to which an antibody solution can be diluted before it ceases to give a positive reaction with an antigen. Though in chemistry the term titrimetry often refers to the use of some volume of a solution of known concentration to determine the quantity of analyte, there are still some variations on the use of the term. It is used rather to denote a quantity of some other measurement parameter which relates directly to the quantity of analyte which is to be measured: Volumetric titrimetry establishes a quantity of analyte using volumes of reagents of known concentrations and the knowledge of the stoichiometry of the reactions between the reagents and the analyte (s). Gravimetric titrimetry determines the quantity of analyte by a measure of the mass of a solution of known concentration. Coulometric titrimetry arrives at the amount of analyte by measuring the duration of a given electrical current."

"text": "Chapter 11. Solutions Quantitative Units of Concentration Learning Objective Learn to determine specific concentrations with several common units. Rather than qualitative terms ( Section 11.1 “Some Definitions” ), we need quantitative ways to express the amount of solute in a solution; that is, we need specific units of concentration. In this section, we will introduce several common and useful units of concentration. Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the number of liters of solution:which can be simplified as As with any mathematical equation, if you know any two quantities, you can calculate the third, unknown, quantity. For example, suppose you have 0.500 L of solution that has 0.24 mol of Na OH dissolved in it. The concentration of the solution can be calculated as follows: The concentration of the solution is 0.48 M, which is spoken as “zero point forty-eight molarity” or “zero point forty-eight molar.” If the quantity of the solute is given in mass units, you must convert mass units to mole units before using the definition of molarity to calculate concentration. For example, what is the molar concentration of a solution of 22.4 g of HCl dissolved in 1.56 L? First, convert the mass of solute to moles using the molar mass of HCl (36.5 g/mol): Now we can use the definition of molarity to determine a concentration: Example 3What is the molarity of a solution made when 32.7 g of Na OH are dissolved to make 445 m L of solution?"

This molarity calculator is a tool for converting the mass concentration of any solution to molar concentration (or, otherwise speaking, recalculating grams per ml to moles). You can also calculate what is the required mass of the substance to achieve a desired molarity. This article will provide you with the definition and formula for molarity, as well as with a short step-by-step tutorial of how to calculate molarity of a concentrated solution. What is molarity? Molarity is the measure of concentration of a solution, expressed as the number of moles of solute (substance) per a liter of solution. The unit molar (symbol: M) is equivalent to 1 mole of substance in a liter of solution. What is a mole, then? It is defined as the amount of a substance that contains as many particles (such as molecules or ions) as there are atoms is 12 grams of carbon-12. This number is equal to Avogadro constant: 6.022 * 10^23."

Chemistry Thermochemistry Enthalpy1 Answer1Stefan V. Share May 9, 2016Answer:− 1370 k J mol − 1Explanation: The molar heat of combustion, or molar enthalpy change of combustion, Δ H comb/mol, expresses the enthalpy change associated with the combustion of one mole * of a given compound. In your case, the molar heat of combustion of ethanol will represent the enthalpy change that accompanies the combustion of one mole of ethanol. Notice that the problem provides you with the enthalpy change that accompanies the combustion of one gram of ethanol. Δ H comb/g = − 29.7 k J g − 1The minus sign indicates that the this much heat is being given off by the combustion of one gram of ethanol. To convert this to the molar enthalpy of combustion, use ethanol's molar mass− 29.7k Jg⋅molar mass of ethanol 46.07 g1 mole ethanol = − 1368.3 k J mol − 1Rounded to three sig figs, the answer will beΔ H comb/mol =∣∣ ∣∣¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯aa− 1370 k J mol − 1 aa∣∣− −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −Was this helpful?

According to IUPAC, an intensive property is one whose magnitude is independent of the size of the system. An extensive property is one whose magnitude is additive for subsystems. [ 1]An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, T, refractive index, n, density, ρ, and hardness of an object, η (IUPAC symbols [1] are used throughout this article). When a diamond is cut, the pieces maintain their intrinsic hardness (until the sample reduces to a few atoms thick), so hardness is independent of the size of the system, for larger samples. [ attribution needed]By contrast, an extensive property is additive for subsystems. [ 2] This means the system could be divided into any number of subsystems, and the extensive property measured for each subsystem; the value of the property for the system would be the sum of the property for each subsystem. For example, both the mass, m, and the volume, V, of a diamond are directly proportional to the amount that is left after cutting it from the raw mineral. The ratio of two extensive properties of the same object or system is an intensive property."

"text": "\"A brief overview by Parplethlonfrom Blut Krieg Sieg Zine Websiterecovered through Way Back Machine Website The image of the Skull and Crossbones is recognized in the popular imagination the world over first and foremost as the flag flown by pirates on the high seas going about their business of looting, rape and murder - it seemingly being nothing more than a device meant to strike fear into the hearts of those who saw a ship flying the dreaded flag bearing down on them. And though not complete bull-shit, being the effect would have been existent in those on the receiving end of the banner bearing the Skull and Crossbones, there is a whole lot more to the origin, use and meanings of the symbol; such a simple explanation doesn’t suffice. To begin with, the very image of a legendary pirate captain appears to confirm a greater, deeper meaning. Going out on a limb, firstly the wearing of a patch - being one-eyed is of major significance when we recall Odin/Wotan, the chief of the Gods of the Norse, Teutonic peoples, and Horus, the Hawk-headed son of the resurrected Osiris, who ‘sets things to right’, are both one-eyed - or at the least have lost an eye; Odin sacrificing an eye for wisdom, while the eye of Horus was lost battling Set (cosmic destructive energies). Then of course there is the obligatory bird on the pirates shoulder; here we might bring to mind Odins ravens, his eyes in the sky, Huginn and Muninn, and their portrayal in John Boorman’s excellent film ‘Excalibur’ accompanying Merlin, or perhaps the Egyptian rendition of a persons soul as a bird - the Ba bird. If one was really game, one could draw comparisons between a pirates wooden leg - bared below the knee with the trouser leg rolled up, and the candidate for 3rd degree, that of a Master Mason, in Freemasonry being similarly attired… and even further, maybe at the extreme limit of where only Fool’s don’t fear to tread, is the pirates hunt, seizure and secreting away of treasure - just as legend ascribes to the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon - the Knights Templar. The Templars, formed in 1118 and ‘disbanded’ in 1307, are surrounded by myth and legend, from searching and reputedly finding the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, sacred Gnostic texts even more dangerous than those found by the Dead Sea or at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, to the disappearance of their naval fleet from La Rochelle just before King Phillipe of France moved to have all Templars arrested and their assets seized. Some say if it wasn’t the first, then one of the trips the Templare made across the Atlantic to various locations in North America (1). And others, while agreeing the Templars most probably did make a couple of trans-Atlantic crossings prior to Columbus famed journey of 1492, the La Rochelle fleet more likely found a sage haven in Scotland (2) as the nation and its King, Robert the Bruce, were excommunicated by Rome at the time and therefore somewhat beyond the reach of Papal Bulls and Edicts. In fact, Baigent and Leigh, and Knight and Lomas agree, contend the very Scottish victory over the English at Bannockburn in 1314, that which ended English designs on Scotland, was due to a mounted charge of Templars throwing themselves into the fray late in the day (3)."

There are a few heaters out there that meet some of those five characteristics, but rarely all five. The Envi High-Efficiency Electric Panel Heater is a passive heating solution which seemed to have the makings of winner in all respects; we've just finished a month-long test run with the Envi and report our findings below... Unboxing and Mounting: Packaging for appliances like heaters don't normally catch our interest, but we have to give credit to e Heat. The packaging for the Envi heater box was obviously designed with some forethought which aids in both unpacking and installation. The flat shaped square box is easily, but securely packaged to protect the unit from damage before it reaches your doorstep, while also revealing a template to use for exact wall mounting; two guide punch holes are included in an interior cardboard insert. Wall mounting hardware is included, which requires a screwdriver at minimum, but a common light task power drill is recommended, especially if you live in an older apartment or house. The wall mounting kit seems primarily designed for newer drywall construction, so you may require additional hardware to secure the Envi. Performance: we talked at great lengths with e Heat founder and president, Mark Mc Court, about the Envi and how it works. The Envi was designed to improve on the function and form of the flat panel Econo-Heater / Eco-Heater solution, utilizing a protective case around the panel heating unit, maximizing the fanless performance with a dual-stack convection setup within which lets the natural flow of cold-to-warm air rising do the work, all the while improving energy efficiency while maximizing the warmth factor. After less than a minute on, users can feel a current of warm air emanating up from top, drawing from the colder air from your floor at the bottom of the unit, creating a circulation effect which helps warm a room without the need of loud fans."

When doing so, the most important factors to be considered are: Wattage Distribution Setback Spacing Aiming Fixtures Wattage Depending on your pole height, flag size, and ambient light levels, the wattage of lamp used in the lighting fixture should be carefully considered when choosing the appropriate fixture for your flag lighting application. For typical conditions, the chart below shows the recommended wattage using floodlights with Metal Halide lamps: Pole Height Recommended Wattage20' 175 watt Metal Halide25' 175 watt Metal Halide30' 175 watt Metal Halide35' 175 watt Metal Halide40' 175 watt Metal Halide50' 250 watt Metal Halide60' 400 watt Metal Halide Distribution The amount of light that actually is visible on the flag greatly depends upon the beam pattern of the light fixture illuminating the flag. Most often, a narrow distribution pattern such as a \"\"spot\"\" or \"\"narrow flood\"\" pattern would be the desired distribution for flag lighting. Such patterns would typically fall into the NEMA classification of Type II or Type III. Setback The recommended setback for lighting a flag is 1/3 times the pole height. If the pole is 30' tall, the floodlight should be set back a distance of 10' away from the pole. Setback distance = 1/3 x pole height 1/3 (30 ft.) = 10 ft.

There are two initial steps to determine the amount of wind available at your site. First, you need to decide how you want to use wind power. There are many kinds of wind turbines, many kinds of projects, and many uses for wind energy. Some homeowners produce a small amount of electricity just for use on their farms.

Internet-connected cameras are eliminating the need for at least one wire on real cameras, and Netgear’s new Arlo security camera, goes one step further, axing the power cable, too. With no wires to run and a magnetic mount, you can literally slap one of these up in a matter of seconds. But when something goes down, can you still rely on them to capture the crucial footage? Out of the box The Arlo system we tested comes with two battery-operated, HD cameras and a hub that’s essential for its operation.

But what’s the ideal viewing angle and height to get the most immersive television viewing experience? The last thing you want is to squirm, squint or get a headache while watching Fast & Furious 47. The truth is, it’s a combination of personal preference and trial and error. Here’s some quick tips. The middle 10 inches of your screen is 10-20 or so inches from the bottom of the TV. To get a comfortable viewing range of 35-45 inches, the bottom of your screen should be 25 inches up the wall. Make a tiny dry-erase or pencil mark on the wall to the left and right of where the center of the screen should be. Hold the mount to the wall about 15 inches up from the marks, then make another set of marks where mount screw holes are. Providing the mount connects to the TV in the center, you will have a comfortable viewing height for the entire household."

At the age of 18 months she experienced a fever that left her deaf, blind and unable to speak. An extremely intelligent and sensitive child, by the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family. Because of this restricted communication her frustration and anger grew and were not relieved until Annie Sullivan, a 20 year old graduate of the Perkins School for the Blind, came to be her teacher. With her help Helen learned the manual alphabet, braille, the Tadoma method of reading lips and later learned to speak. With Annie as her interpreter, in 1888 she attended Perkins Institute for the Blind and in 1894 the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York. She received a B. A. cum laude in 1904 from Radcliffe College. She thus became the first deaf-blind person to graduate from college. In 1936 she moved to Connecticut where she lived until her death in 1968 at the age of 87. While at Radcliffe, Helen Keller began a writing career which was to continue for 50 years."

[ 3] Because of this diversity, each deafblind individual's needs regarding lifestyle, communication, education, and work need to be addressed based on their degree of dual-modality deprivation in order to improve their ability to live independently. Statistically speaking, it was estimated that roughly 35,000 - 40,000 United States residents are medically deafblind. [ 4] Helen Keller was a well-known example of a deafblind individual. [ 5]Furthermore, the deafblind community has its own culture, creating a community of deafblindness similar to the Deaf community (see Deaf culture ), and the blind community. Each community is made up of a group of individuals who have undergone similar experiences and have a homogeneous understanding of what it means to be deafblind, even with a large diversity of unique backgrounds.

There are many, many famous women throughout history who deserve a spot on this list but I had to choose a number and stick to it or this could’ve easily become the longest list in history. I went with women whose names you might know but perhaps aren’t sure why you know the name or women you probably haven’t heard of. I also chose a few women I personally find incredibly inspiring.

To make things worse, the only pair of shoes she had were two sizes too small, so her feet hurt constantly. On March 3, 1887, Anne Mansfield Sullivan finally arrived exhausted in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was met by Helen Keller's mother, Kate Adams Keller, and her stepson, James Keller, who had driven the carriage to the station to meet every train for the past two days."

"text": "\"June 2, 1968Helen Keller, Blind and Deaf Writer, Traveler and Humanitarian, Is Dead at 87By ALDEN WHITMANor the first 18 months of her life Helen Keller was a normal infant who cooed and cried, learned to recognize the voices of her father and mother and took joy in looking at their faces and at objects about her home. \"\" Then,\"\" as she recalled later, \"\"came the illness which closed my eyes and ears and plunged me into the unconsciousness of a newborn baby. \"\" The illness, perhaps scarlet fever, vanished as quickly as it struck, but it erased not only the child's vision and hearing but also, as a result, her powers of articulate speech. Her life thereafter, as a girl and as a woman, became a triumph over crushing adversity and shattering affliction. In time, Miss Keller learned to circumvent her blindness, deafness and muteness; she could \"\"see\"\" and \"\"hear\"\" with exceptional acuity; she even learned to talk passably and to dance in time to a fox trot or a waltz. Her remarkable mind unfolded, and she was in and of the world, a full and happy participant in life. What set Miss Keller apart was that no similarly affected person before had done more than acquire the simplest skills. But she was graduated from Radcliffe; she became an artful and subtle writer; she led a vigorous life; she developed into a crusading humanitarian who espoused Socialism; and she energized movements that revolutionized help for the blind and the deaf. Teacher's Devotion Her tremendous accomplishments and the force of the assertive personality that underlay them were released through the devotion and skill of Anne Sullivan Macy, her teacher through whom in large degree she expressed herself. Mrs. Macy was succeeded, at her death in 1936, by Polly Thomson, who died in 1960."

Joe Mc Gasko Sep 5, 2017563SHARESAristotle, an ancient Greek who knew a few things about education, once made an observation sure to rankle some members of the PTA. He said that “those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.” In other words, parents just make babies. It’s teachers who turn them into people. Aristotle may have lived a long time ago in a different land, but his slightly acerbic exaggeration still has a ring of truth to it. Good teachers still play a significant role in making us who we are. The teachers who shape us may not always be standing at the head of a classroom (including, of course, our parents), but wherever they’re found, they are doing something that no one else can do: changing our view of the world and making us into something better than we were before. As kids return to the classroom in the great back-to-school migration that takes place at the end of every summer.

"text": "\"Who was Helen Keller? Helen Keller is considered by many to be a leading figure of the twentieth century. When she was an infant, illness robbed her of her vision and hearing. Thanks to the pioneering strategies developed by Perkins’ first director, Samuel Gridley Howe, and the tenacity of Perkins alumna, Anne Sullivan, she became the world’s best known individual with deafblindness. Today, she is still regarded as one of the most powerful and well-known advocates for people who are blind and deafblind. Her books and speeches have inspired millions including many well-known individuals such as Conrad Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels, Ronald Reagan and Eleanor Roosevelt. Through her tireless efforts, she transformed the way the world viewed people with disabilities. Where was Keller born? A very healthy baby, Keller was born June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, to retired Army Captain Arthur Keller and his second wife, Kate. Keller had a younger brother, Phillips Brooks and a sister, Mildred."

Most are worried that large or recurring gaps between jobs might cause a potential employer to overlook them. While it's usually not a good idea to try and hide gaps of unemployment, brief explanations are typically sufficient. Applicants might also consider including a summary of what they did during periods of unemployment on a resume, provided those activities resulted in the development of personal skills. Explain All Gaps A job applicant should provide a brief explanation for all periods of unemployment, whether they are a few months or a few years in length. One or two sentences that provide the prospective employer with a clear picture of why an applicant was not working are usually sufficient. For instance, if someone takes a year off to volunteer abroad, exact dates should be given on the application or resume. In this scenario, the applicant will usually need to state only that he accepted a volunteer assignment in a foreign country. Keep It Positive Keep the explanations for any gaps in employment positive. Some applicants may choose to highlight any new skills that they learned, such as a foreign language."

He claims President Obama was a “terrible” student, but Trump’s own academic history raises serious questions Justin Elliott05.03.2011 • 8:01 AMDonald Trump has been aggressively questioning Barack Obama's academic record, suggesting that the president was a \"\"terrible student\"\" who did not deserve to get in to Columbia University and Harvard Law School. While Trump has no evidence to back up these claims, there are strong indications that Trump has repeatedly inflated his own academic record -- and that he used family connections to gain admission to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. \"\" I heard [Obama] was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?\"\" Trump asked in an interview last month. \"\" I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records. \"\" But an examination of Trump's own academic record yields a distinctly unflattering picture of the celebrity businessman.

"text": "Melania Trump: The education of a first lady Garance Franke-Ruta Senior Politics Editor• July 19, 2016Though Trump says on her website that she obtained a degree in design and architecture from a university in Slovenia, her biographers have made clear that she left college after her first year to pursue a career as a model. Not finishing — or even attending — college is a first lady background that’s been more common in Republican administrations over the past 75 years, perhaps reflecting the greater gender traditionalism on the GOP side of the aisle. Obama, for her part, is a graduate of Harvard Law School. And while her educational background is unusual in American first lady history, having earned a graduate degree is something Obama shares with Hillary Clinton, who also earned a law degree, and with Laura Bush, who holds a master’s degree in library sciences. Melania Trump, should her husband win the White House, would represent the return of an earlier type of first lady, one who did not graduate from college and instead pursued a career in a less verbal, more visual arena. The last first lady with that sort of arts-and-culture background was Betty Ford, who studied dance at the Bennington College School of Dance and later at Martha Graham in New York. Joining Ford in the non-bachelor’s degree-holding club are Mamie Eisenhower, who attended finishing school in an era when women rarely went to college, Barbara Bush, who dropped out of Smith College after one year to marry, and Rosalynn Carter, who attended Georgia Southwestern College before marrying and moving with her new husband. The other recent first ladies are college graduates. Jacqueline Kennedy held a Bachelor of Arts degree from George Washington University, where she studied French literature. Lady Bird Johnson was issued two bachelor’s degrees, one in journalism, from the University of Texas."

"text": "Finance How Will Trump’s Policies Affect the U. S. Economy? Feb 01, 2017Asia-Pacific China Europe Latin America North America Twitter Facebook Linked In Google+Email Print Comment Quote In a political environment skewed by fake news and “alternative facts,” the real impact of President Donald Trump’s policies is easily obscured. At the recent Tarnopol Dean’s Lecture Series on the Trump administration and the economy, Wharton experts offered their unvarnished take on the impact of these policies on the capital markets, the dollar, economic growth and job creation — and backed them with analysis based on data. After closing above 20,000 for the first time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been giving back some of its gains of late amid a flurry of Trump mandates: escalation of a trade war with Mexico, anchored by a 20% tariff on its goods; making good on a promise to exit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal in Asia; and instituting a temporary immigration ban on seven mainly Muslim countries that could hurt the quality of the U. S. workforce — especially in Silicon Valley — among others. Initially, the Dow was buoyed by Trump’s proposal to substantially cut corporate taxes, roll back many regulations and spend on infrastructure. “Investors and businesses very much like the Republican agenda. Notice I didn’t say the Trump agenda,” says Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel. “ Why do they like the Republican agenda? Lower corporate taxes, less regulation, lower taxes on interest and dividend income. All that is very, very good for investors."

Trump, bachelor’s degree in economics, U. of Pennyslvania’s Wharton School, 1968B y Donald J. Trump’s own account, he saw higher education as a means to an end. Fordham University and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where Mr. Trump transferred to complete a bachelor’s degree in economics, were essentially credential factories. To become the real-estate mogul he envisioned, he needed these institutions — but in the same dispassionate way that a mechanic, say, needs a socket wrench. \"\" In my opinion, that degree doesn’t prove very much, but a lot of people I do business with take it very seriously, and it’s considered very prestigious,\"\" Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, wrote in his book The Art of the Deal. \"\" So all things considered, I’m glad I went to Wharton. \"\" It is difficult to say what may have rubbed off on Mr. Trump during his stint in college, from 1964 to 1968. But his rhetoric reveals a dubiousness about the importance of academic credentials — even as he braggadociously touts his own — and an impatience with curricular pursuits that lack an obvious utilitarian applicability. He left little discernible mark on Fordham or Penn, suggesting that he had a limited role within the communal life of the institutions he attended. That creates a notable contrast between Mr. Trump and his chief Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, whose leadership legacy at Wellesley College is well documented. On the campaign trail, Mr. Trump has stirred passions and stoked fears around the contentious issues of race, gender, religion, and the appropriate role of the U. S. military in an ever more complicated geopolitical environment."

Flag How After college did Donald Trump earn his money? Answer by Newasker Confidence votes 41Early success (1968–1989) Trump began his career at his father's company, the Trump Organization, and initially concentrated on his father's preferred field of middle-class rental housing in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. One of Donald's first projects, while he was still in college, was the revitalization of the foreclosed Swifton Village apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio--turning a 1200-unit complex with a 66% vacancy rate to 100% occupancy within a year. When the Trump Organization sold Swifton Village for $12 million, they cleared $6 million in profit. In 1971 Trump moved his residence to Manhattan, where he became convinced of the economic opportunity in the city, specifically large building projects in Manhattan that would offer opportunities for earning high profits, utilizing attractive architectural design, and winning public recognition. [ 2] Trump began by landing the rights to develop the old Penn Central yards on the West Side, then--with the help of a 40-year tax abatement by the financially strained New York City government, which was eager to give tax concession in exchange for investments at a time of financial crisis--turned the bankrupt Commodore Hotel into a new Grand Hyatt. [ 9] He was also instrumental in steering the development of the Javits Convention Center on property he had an option on. The development saga of the Javits Convention Center brought Donald Trump into contact with the New York City government when a project he'd estimated could have been completed by his company for $110 million ended up costing the city between $750 million to $1 billion. He offered to take over the project at cost but the offer was not accepted. ["

Nobody's really sure, but possibly not as great as he led us to believe By Polly Davis Doig , Newser Staff Posted May 4, 2011 7:50 AM CDT Updated May 7, 2011 7:45 AM CDT35 comments Comments (Newser) – Donald Trump heard that President Obama \"\"was a terrible student, terrible,\"\" who probably pulled a fast one to sneak into the halls of ivy, but Justin Elliott over at Salon isn't so sure the Donald should be chucking rocks inside his glass house. \"\" Trump has allowed the media to report for years that he graduated first in his class at Wharton, despite strong evidence that this is not true,\"\" writes Elliott. Further, Trump didn't get a Wharton MBA, but rather a Wharton undergrad degree offered through UPenn. A biographer notes that Trump's freshman and sophomore grades at Fordham were \"\"respectable,\"\" but also that he got into Wharton through a friend of his brother's—and that having a rich father didn't hurt his admissions chances, either. Elliott tracks down pretty convincing circumstantial evidence, including a 1968 commencement program, that Trump didn't graduate with honors, but Wharton won't release more information and the Donald hasn't offered up either comment or transcript. Which is, of course, Elliott notes, \"\"something he has repeatedly demanded that Obama do with his own academic records.\"\" Stay tuned.

"text": "\"Trump Avoided Disputing Stories Saying He Graduated First In His Class From Wharton School of Business. Here’s The Real Evidence. By Hank Berrien May 25, 2016Donald Trump has been lying about his intellectual prowess for years. Trump simply watched as stories as far back as the 1970’s reported he had graduated first in his class from the prestigious Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. As Salon reported in 2011, The New York Times published a profile of Trump in January 1973, writing, “Donald, who was graduated first in his class at the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania, joined his father five years ago.” The Times doubled down in 1976, writing, “He continued helping his father make deals while a student at the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated first in his class in 1968.”Well, now, just where did the Times get that piece of information? Especially when you consider this: Donald Trump says he graduated w/ honors in 1968 from Wharton. Here's the list & hes nowhere on it! pic.twitter.com/Oct6F33N7g— Stop Trump PAC (@Stop Trump PAC) May 24, 2016As Salon reported, “The ‘fact’ that Trump graduated first in his class made its way into various books, magazines, and websites .”Trump is famous for reading every story about himself; even carrying clippings about himself around. And when you add the fact that Trump apparently acted as his own publicist under a pseudonym in order to brag about his romantic exploits, it’s possible that the Times got that false piece of information about graduating first from Lyin’ Donald."

In response, Trump went on a Twitter rant, branding the book \"\"really boring and untruthful\"\", and adding that he is \"\"like, really smart\"\" and \"\"a very stable genius\"\". Trump's IQ has been a subject of debate for years. In 2013, he tweeted that his IQ was \"\"much higher\"\" than presidential predecessors Barack Obama and George W Bush.

He would pass the mark set by President Ronald Reagan, who was 69 when he was inaugurated. If Hillary Clinton is elected, she would be the second-oldest person elected to a first term. Considering the age of the candidates, their health has become an increasing issue in the campaign, especially after Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis and the incident at a 9/11 ceremony on Sunday. Both candidates have been called on to release more medical information, leading Trump to only issue a one-page letter from his doctor at first. However, on Wednesday, he revealed the results of a recent physical while on Dr. Oz with Mehmet Oz. Here’s what we know so far about Donald Trump’s health. This post has been updated to include the medical records released by the Trump campaign on September 15.1. Dr. Harold N.

And that doesn’t count all the of dozens of elective courses available in areas like finance, marketing, and sustainability (far more electives, in fact, than would be available in a pricey Executive MBA program). So is this worth considering? Let’s take a look at the advantages (besides not paying tuition). Face it: No one cares where you earned a degree once you get your foot in the door and prove yourself. Completing your MBA requirements via MOOCs shows employers that you’re a disciplined, forward-thinking first adopter who has the self-control to be trusted to work on your own. With MOOC drop-out rates hovering around 90%, your approach also demonstrates that you possess the grit to survive difficult circumstances. STUDY WITH A NOBEL PRIZE WINNER AND OTHER SUPERSTAR PROFESSORSAnd disregard that quaint notion that MOOCs are watered down curriculum. Leading institutions are using their teaching and research stars – not adjuncts or TAs – in their MOOCs. At Yale, Nobel Prize winner Robert Shiller is conducting a MOOC on Financial Markets in February."

"text": "\"Donald Trump’s Draft Deferments An overview of Donald Trump's Selective Service records from 1964 through 1972, when he was classified 4-F (not qualified for military service). By David Emery 26 February 20184KThe matter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s military service (or lack thereof) has surfaced twice so far in this election cycle, first in July 2015 when Trump maligned Sen. John Mc Cain, a POW during the Vietnam War, for being captured, and a second time in July 2016 when he openly feuded with the family of slain U. S. soldier Humayun Khan after Khan’s father, Khizr, criticized Trump during an appearance at the Democratic National Convention. Trump himself has never served in the military. Selective Service records obtained from the National Archives by The Smoking Gun in 2011 reveal the following history of his draft eligibility:1964: Donald Trump became eligible for the draft on his 18th birthday (14 June 1964) and registered with the Selective Service System 10 days later. He received the first of four 2-S (college) deferments on 28 July 1964.1965: Trump received his second college deferment on 14 December 1965.1966: Trump’s previous deferment expired and he was reclassified 1-A (available for military service) on 22 November 1966. His 2-S deferment was renewed on 13 December.1967: No record.1968: Trump received his fourth and final college deferment on 16 January 1968. After graduating from Wharton, he was reclassified 1-A on 9 July 1968. Trump underwent an Armed Forces physical examination (with a result listed only as “DISQ”) on 19 September 1968 and was reclassified 1-Y (qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency) on 15 October 1968. According to a statement from the Trump campaign, the 1-Y classification stemmed from Trump’s having bone spurs in both heels: While attending the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump received a minor medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet. The medical deferment was expected to be short-term and he was therefore entered in the military draft lottery, where he received an extremely high number, 356 out of 365.1972: Despite the supposedly “short-term” nature of Trump’s disqualifying physical condition, on 17 February 1972 he was reclassified 4-F (not qualified for military service), presumably due to the abolishment of the 1-Y classification the previous year."

Obama was admitted to Occidental College in California from fall of 1979 to spring of 1981, where he was an average student, not taking the coursework as seriously as he should have.

A sports psychologist uses applied psychology methods to help athletes who struggle with anxiety and lose focus, who have lost their motivation and drive, or who may have trouble communicating with teammates, or with controlling their temper. Deep Dive A sports psychologist is a licensed psychologist with the skills, knowledge, and experience to work with athletes, teams, coaches and sports organizations."

"text": "\"Career Center Hot careers: Sport psychology From Olympic champions to weekend warriors, athletes of all levels are hiring sport psychologists to give them a mental edge. By Rebecca Voelker Print version: page 20Charlie Brown, Ph D, was looking for a new dimension in his psychology career — a way to merge his professional skills in strategic problem-solving with his personal interests in athletics and travel. A recreational triathlete and avid skier, Brown found the perfect fit in sport psychology. The transition meant extra training: a second master's degree and supervised practicum work while phasing out his traditional, office-based practice in Charlotte, N. C. But the effort paid off. Today Brown's clients include the USA Canoe and Kayak Whitewater Slalom team and Swim MAC of the Carolinas, a training center that sent five swimmers to the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Two — Nick Thoman and Davis Tarwater — brought home gold medals. \"\" I have the best job in the world,\"\" Brown says. Working with Olympians is just part of the picture. Leaders in the sport psychology field say opportunities for their expertise are growing in university athletic departments, high schools and club sports. After all, the same techniques used to keep elite athletes mentally fit — visualization and stress management, among others — can help athletes at all levels stay on top of their game."

Grant Cornwell has spent his entire academic and professional career at small but well-regarded liberal arts institutions. ( Photo by Scott Cook)Editor’s note: In the fall 2015 issue of Winter Park Magazine, Randy Noles profiles Rollins’ 15th president, Grant Cornwell, whom he describes as “an affable, articulate intellectual with proven administrative prowess. ”Below are excerpts printed with permission of Noles and Winter Park Magazine. [ Cornwell] has spent his entire career at small liberal arts colleges, and has very definite—even passionate—opinions about the value of a liberal arts education. He has spoken and written extensively on the topic and, in the world of academia, is considered a national thought leader. “Since around 2008 there’s been a drift toward thinking of college as being just for job training,” [Cornwell] says. “ That’s tremendously shortsighted. I lament it. ”In his final convocation address at Wooster, an excerpt of which was published in the Huffington Post, Cornwell argued that a liberal arts education has intrinsic value because it fosters independent thinking and encourages social responsibility."

The difference is that the study of exercise physiology is specific to the body's response and adaptation to exercise. However, it is more than running faster or longer. Exercise testing, exercise prescription, exercise nutrition, and cardiac rehabilitation are equally important subject areas. Heart patients, for example, can benefit from exercise physiology just as athletes do. Cardiovascular and metabolic effects and mechanisms are at the heart of understanding exercise physiology. Part of this understanding and what we think exercise physiologists do depends upon the definition of what is an exercise physiologist. Once the definition is understood, then one goes about defining responsibilities. But, what if the definition is too narrow, too board, or simply wrong? What then?"

Eighty-four percent of Division I athletes who entered college in 2007 graduated within six years, according to the NCAA’s most recent Graduation Success Rate data, an increase of two percentage points from last year. Football players in the Football Bowl Subdivision -- the NCAA's highest competitive level -- graduated at a 75 percent rate, a 4 percentage point increase and an all-time high for the FBS. Black football players within the FBS also graduated at record rates this year at 68 percent. The overall rate for black athletes, which has typically lagged behind that of white athletes, was 70 percent, a 3 percentage point increase from last year. Women continue to outpace their male counterparts, with white female athletes graduating at a rate of 93 percent and black female athletes graduating at a rate of 81 percent. The rates for white and black male athletes were 85 and 65 percent, respectively. The NCAA credits the higher rates to ongoing academic reforms, including creating long-term Academic Performance Program penalties.

In the United States, college athletics is a two-tiered system. [ 1] The first tier includes the sports that are sanctioned by one of the collegiate sport governing bodies. The major sanctioning organizations include the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Individual sports not governed by umbrella organizations like the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA are overseen by their own organizations, such as the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association, National Collegiate Boxing Association, USA Rugby, National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association and Intercollegiate Rowing Association. Additionally, the first tier is characterized by selective participation, since only the elite programs in their sport are able to participate; some colleges offer athletic scholarships to intercollegiate sports competitors. The second tier includes all intramural and recreational sports clubs, which are available to a larger portion of the student body. Competition between student clubs from different colleges, not organized by and therefore not representing the institutions or their faculties, may also be called \"\"intercollegiate\"\" athletics or simply college sports. Unlike in the rest of the world, in the United States today, many college sports are extremely popular on both regional and national scales, in many cases competing with professional championships for prime broadcast and print coverage, and for the top athletes.

"text": "Getting Real About Majoring in Engineering It seems to me that too many parents are stressing about what their children should select as a college major. I’m of the opinion that what’s important is getting a degree. I believe it’s less relevant what that degree is. Students are more likely to be successful if they choose a discipline that they are passionate about. In this rush to embrace “practical” majors, too many students are selecting majors based on their parents desires or are taking their cues from the lists of the best-paying majors. These lists are pointless because the same majors monopolize the top. We don’t need to be constantly reminded that the grads more likely to snag top-paying jobs have mastered high-level math and science skills, which frankly most students are incapable of doing. Being Realistic About Engineering I was thinking about this lately because I’ve been hearing from people interested in engineering. Engineering degrees are perennially at the top of those best-paying-job lists. But strangely what some teenagers and their families don’t understand is that just because you want to earn a mechanical engineering or computer science degree doesn’t mean you have the ability."

Software engineers apply computer science and mathematical analysis principles to the development, design, and assessment of computer systems software and computer applications software that enable computers to perform specific tasks. Software engineers analyze the needs of users and then design, develop, and test software to meet those needs, which run the gamut – from business applications or computer games to operating systems or word processing programs. Software engineers are generally classified into two separate specialties: computer applications software engineers and computer systems software engineers. Computer applications software engineers analyze the needs of users to design, create, and maintain broad-focused computer applications software or specific utility programs.

Specifically, they design, construct, and test the computer systems we interact with every day. Since it's not unusual to find a computer engineer involved in anything from cars to toasters, a computer engineering degree could lead to work in many different industries. The field was originally a branch of the larger specialty of electrical engineering. In recent years, however, computer engineering has emerged as a unique specialty. As a computer engineering major, you'll learn how to design and test the functionality of different hardware and software systems and components. Types of Computer Engineering Degrees Colleges and universities offer several levels of computer engineering degree programs. Since many professional computer engineers work online, particularly those engaged in software development, colleges and universities often can use the same technology to offer their degree programs via distance learning.

"text": "\"Tweet What Does it Mean to Study Mechanical Engineering? The mechanical engineer has been called the general practitioner and the jack-of-all trades among engineering professions. This is because the profession requires education and skills that span a broad range of technical, social, environmental, and economic problems. In general, however, the mechanical engineer is concerned with controlling the principles of motion, energy, and force through mechanical solutions. A mechanical engineer designs the tools and processes used for satisfying the needs of society through a combination of material, human, and economic resources. She might work on electric generators, internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and other power-generating machines. She might also develop machines such as refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, power tools, and other power-using machines. What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?

Scientists and inventors often get the credit for innovations that advance the human condition, but it is engineers who are instrumental in making those innovations available to the world. In his book, \"\" Disturbing the Universe \"\" (Sloan Foundation, 1981), physicist Freeman Dyson wrote, \"\"A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible.

Figuring out which jobs are the highest paying isn’t as straightforward as seems. So we decided to clear up a lot of the confusion by putting together this guide to the 25 best paying jobs in America. But before we look at the jobs themselves, let’s consider why some careers pay better than others. [ Browse our rankings of the top accredited online colleges and universities. ] First, not all jobs pay what we might suppose from media reports. For example, an athlete might earn a mean annual income of $80,950, according to government statistics from 2009. It’s not bad, but it’s hardly the all-star’s millions. And most athletes can’t even work till typical retirement age, so they must put away much of their income to finance a second career, perhaps in coaching. So if you’re not a star but like the work, it’s a good all-round job."

Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many engineers develop new products. During the process, they consider several factors. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, powerplants, helicopters, and toys. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine the causes of a component’s failure, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost required to complete projects. Supervisory engineers are responsible for major components or entire projects."

However, a two-year computer programming degree is useful for students who need to attend a community college for financial reasons. It’s also a good way for students to determine their level of interest in the field while completing prerequisites for the major. Some students take jobs in the technology field after earning their associate degree; others use it as a springboard for a four-year program. A bachelor’s degree enables students to diversify their skill set by learning several programming languages. In addition, students planning to work in a specific industry, such as health care or accounting, can take courses in that field. School Name More Information2 Choose a focus While working toward a bachelor’s degree, students will get a sense of what aspect of computer programming most appeals to them. It’s at this stage that they begin leaning toward systems or applications, become interested in networks or databases, and get a feel for what extent they wish to work with hardware.3 Keep learning Since the technology industry is constantly evolving, it’s essential that workers in this field stay abreast of the latest innovations. To remain competitive in the job market, computer programmers should head back to class, getting additional training to build competency in both emerging languages and updated versions of existing ones. Equally important, earning an advanced degree can qualify programmers for more senior roles."

They focus on making different components, produced by specialty engineers, work as a cohesive and efficient system. Systems engineers also repair and improve upon existing systems as new technologies emerge. A college degree in systems engineering provides the necessary skills needed to interact with professionals engaged in a broad field of disciplines. Systems engineers must think holistically, taking into account every aspect of a project, including the costs, environmental concerns, timeframes, and life expectancy of equipment. The demand for systems engineers is on the rise, as all kinds of systems become increasingly complex and companies' needs cannot be met by engineers concentrating in a specific discipline, such as electronics, manufacturing, or computers. The increasingly global economy also has stimulated the need for systems engineers, as foreign and domestic platforms are often incompatible. Bringing together engineers, businessmen, and employees from all parts of the globe and all walks of life is central to a career in systems engineering. Communication and mediation skills are a necessity in the field, as is the need to think of the big picture, instead of getting caught up in the details."

For instance, you might enjoy working as a yard truck switcher, sometimes referred to as a yard hostler, yard driver or trailer jockey. Learning about this position's job description can help you decide whether it is right for you. Basic Requirements Most employers require yard truck switchers to have a current, Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Some employers will hire yard hostlers who are working on obtaining a CDL as well as those who have recently earned one but have little or no commercial driving experience. Yard drivers should possess adequate communication skills in order to understand written and spoken instructions, excellent safety awareness and a sufficient level of physical fitness, as the job involves some manual labor. Operating Equipment A yard truck switcher should be able to comfortably operate a semi truck with a trailer, although most companies use yard tractors, sometimes called yard mules, to move trailers in and out of docks or around the truck yard. Yard drivers must be able to back trailers up to dock doors, often with other trailers on either side of the dock. In addition, some businesses require yard hostlers to use other warehouse equipment, such as pallet jacks, manual jacks and forklifts. Cleaning and Maintenance Yard truck switchers often must clean out trailers before or after moving them, either using on-site equipment to wash them inside and out or by sweeping them out with an industrial broom."

I wasn’t present for the negotiations, but judging by the amount of time they took, it must have been excruciating. Finally, moving day arrived, and a tow truck was hired to do the grunt work. I wasn’t present for the 1st half of the load, but was told it went very smooth. On hand were Mr Vogel, Dave, Eric Hoffmeyer, Sharon, Kenneth (Sharon’s son), and myself (at least at the offload). ** New** added 9 pictures for “Loading” mill, Thanks to CAMS member Mark Long, who was kind enough to allow their use here. Mark was part of the crew that loaded out at Robert Vogel’s house and provided the pics and descriptions. A story without a beginning isn’t complete, so Thank you Mark, for filling in the blanks.1.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Home & Garden Home Improvement Building and Carpentry How many yards of concrete does a truck carry? Flag How many yards of concrete does a truck carry? Answer by David91406 Confidence votes 123A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Most concrete trucks haul nine cubic yards of concrete. That amount is enough to pour a 72 foot by 10 foot section of driveway at four inches deep. Your local Department of Transportation has told your concrete supplier how much they can carry. Most trucks can carry up to 11 1/2 cubic yards. In the winter, concrete trucks may only be allowed to carry seven or maybe as little as four cubic yards per trip. A truck that carries that six-cubic yards of concrete in one load can weigh as much as 20 or 30 tons. You can order the concrete from some ready-mix concrete plants in small trucks that may only carry one or two cubic yards at a time."

However, Thomas was one of the first engines to arrive on Sodor and helped to build the North Western Railway. When the job was done, he was sent to Vicarstown, the Railway’s Headquarters to shunt coaches for the big engines in the yard. He was a cheeky and fussy little engine, who enjoyed playing tricks on the big engines, particularly Gordon – who got his own back by taking Thomas for a high speed journey behind his Express, leaving poor Thomas quite exhausted and embarrassed!But Thomas was bored of shunting coaches at the Big Station – he wanted to pull trains like the big engines and go for journeys along the line. He got his chance when Henry took ill and Thomas had to pull his train – but silly Thomas ended up leaving the coaches behind! Then, he swapped places with Edward and took his trucks back to Wellsworth – but couldn’t handle them and ended up losing control. The Fat Controller knew Thomas was trying to be ‘Really Useful’ and let him stay in Edward’s Yard to learn about trucks – it was here that he first used the Breakdown Train and saved James after his nasty accident with trucks. The Fat Controller was proud of Thomas and as a reward, give him the Ffarquhar Branch Line, and two coaches called Annie and Clarabel to run it. It was here that he met Terence the Tractor, who pulled him out of the snow, and Bertie the Bus, who he raced with. He was later joined by Toby, who ran the Quarry Tramway, and Percy who ran the goods service after building the new Harbour at the end of the Branch Line."

It's financial, or it's personal, or it's whimsical and nostalgic, or it's desperation or any and all of those things. The most important thing, regardless of reason, is understanding just what it is that you're getting in to. Drivers get into trucking from every walk of life imaginable, from fresh-out-of-high-school kids, to older retirees entering their 2nd or 3rd or 4th career. The barrier to entry for truck driving is the same for everyone, no matter the age or former careers or educational backgrounds. Truck driver stereotypes and backgrounds: As the average age of truck drivers in the U. S. is almost 50 years old, many drivers have started their careers after moving on from old ones and come from every type of background imaginable. Many of the old stereotypes of truck drivers also persist, and unfortunately some of that holds true for the attitude, appearance, and actions of many current drivers. Article - A Look In The Mirror If each truck driver would be a true professional...dress well, work with pride, talk kindly...the American public would respect us once again. We deserve a tremendous amount of respect after all. Article - Stereotypes and Trucking In part as well, the industry itself has perpetuated the stereotype of truckers because most companies simply fail at enforcing any Human Resource standard."

The article UPS Thinks Out of the Box on Driver Training from Wall Street Journal via Yahoo talks about UPS needing to hire 25,000 new drivers in the next few years. The article says that their average annual pay for UPS drivers is $74,000. I'm sure that some people are thinking to themselves that $74,000 to drive a brown truck sounds like a great wage. I don't disagree with that but there are some things to take into consideration. First of all that $74,000 annual average figure is adding in overtime pay. A little older article I found said that pay is $55,000 and can rise to $70,000 with overtime. Given that I would estimate they are making about $27/hr and working 9-10 hr days to log around 400 overtime hours per year. Second the work can be heavily demanding. UPS drivers have to carry heavy packages and must be in good physical shape."

The Solar Foundation's National Solar Jobs Census, released in January 2014, reported a 22 percent jump in the number of solar installers from the previous year. Where do these new technicians come from? To find out we asked Richard Lawrence, Executive Director of the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners, the industry's leading certification body. Here are our questions and his responses.e How: What backgrounds and skills do new installers usually have? Lawrence: Installers usually come from a construction background. You need that same combination of tool-handling skills, willingness to work out in the elements, problem-solving skills on site, and ability to work with design plans. There are electrical and mechanical skills needed, so both roofing and electrical backgrounds are common. Construction workers in general already have the necessary grasp of OSHA requirements and job site safety skills. Some people do go straight into the solar industry, and NABCEP offers an entry-level certification that covers the fundamentals of solar technology.e How: What training paths are available for aspiring installers?"

A range of instruments are used to help remove plaque and stains, including air-polishing tools and ultrasonic devices. As technology continues to advance, lasers are showing up next to the patient chair more frequently, and dental hygienists must be trained in proper usage of these tools. They must also be well-versed in radiography when using certain types of x-ray equipment. Although state-by-state requirements vary, many dental hygienists counsel patients on how different foods affect oral health and provide advice on proper techniques for care. Dental Hygienist Careers In-Depth Serving as the first stop once a patient is called from the waiting room, dental hygienists examine patients’ teeth and gums and report back to dentists about their oral health. While with the patient, they also perform basic dental procedures, including removing tartar, plaque and everyday stains; using fluoride treatments to protect teeth; applying sealants; and flossing extensively. Hygienists also teach their patients about proper oral care, including brushing techniques and the importance of flossing. Depending on the reason a patient is visiting, the hygienist may also take x-rays or molds to help the dentist assess the best plan of care, ranging from braces to root canals."

Military dentistry dates back to 1872 when William Saunders was first assigned to provide dental services to the cadets at the West Point Military Academy. As the size and complexity of the nation’s military has grown, so has its oral health requirements. Dental hygienists are an essential part of the military’s dental care team. Today the nation’s military is comprised of more than 1.4 million active-duty military members and over 700,000 reserve forces. Maintaining the oral health of service members is an enormous task. Each branch of service has employment opportunities for dental hygienists, either as a civilian, a contracted employee or as active duty military. Each has its advantages, depending on the career goals of the hygienist and the needs of each branch of the military. Service locations can be found all over the U. S. and around the world.

Dental hygienists assist dentists and also work with dental assistants. A dental assistant is not the same profession as a dental hygienist. Becoming a dental hygienist requires more training and school than it does to become a dental assistant. Therefore, dental hygienists can perform additional duties that dental assistants cannot. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dental hygienists also help teach patients about proper oral hygiene and preventative care, as well as examining teeth and recording any abnormalities or areas of concern for the dentist to examine further and treat if necessary. Degree Programs Becoming a hygienist requires completion of an accredited dental hygiene program as well as a state license. According to the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA), there are education programs offering associate's (86 credit hours) and bachelor's degrees (122 credit hours). Degree programs should be accredited by CODA (Commission on Dental Accreditation). Both types of programs prepare students for certification and a career as a dental hygienist."

But they are not different names for the same job. Here’s a breakdown of some key differences between dental assistants vs. dental hygienists: Dental Assistants Dental Hygienists Job duties Prepare patients for treatment, clean instruments and equipment, assist dentists during procedures, help with office management, including billing, record-keeping and insurance paperwork. Examine teeth and gums and collect information about patients’ oral and medical health history, clean patients’ teeth, chart patients’ dental conditions for the dentist, apply preventive treatments such as fluoride, administer local anesthetics, remove sutures and dressings. Education Some states require dental assistants to graduate from an accredited program with a certificate or diploma (nine months to a year). Some schools offer two-year associate’s degree dental assisting programs, which include general education classes. Dental hygienists usually need an associate’s degree (two years) to practice. Other less common options include certificates (a year or less), bachelor’s degree (four years) and master’s degrees (two years).

In January 2011, RDH published a similar article as this one titled, “The Mood Out There.” Without question, the national economy has affected dental hygiene too. Without focusing on a “mood,” this article includes comments about employment trends in specific states. Approximately 700 of the 1,900-plus dental hygienists responded to the open-ended question, “Would you like to make any comments on trends regarding salaries, employment issues, etc., in your area?” Many excellent observations were provided, but, due to space considerations, we narrowed those comments down to just a few from selected states."

"text": "Research principles in dental hygiene education June 24, 2014 June 24, 2014By Amy Molnar, RDH, BSThe need for conducting research within the dental hygiene profession is relatively new in dental hygiene literature. Although research was inherent in the creation of dental hygiene, research was not always a priority for the profession. In fact, dental hygienists have based some practices on anecdotes rather than sound evidence-based research. The belief that something that is successful with one patient will be successful with another patient is a belief of the past. Today, dental hygienists know that preventing and controlling dental disease requires an evidence-based approach, and conducting research provides a scientifically-based standard of care for our patients. RELATED: Advancing dental public health and dental hygiene research Although this evidenced-based approach is becoming more prominent in practice, many dental hygiene programs do not comprehensively educate their students on research principles. Furthermore, a large amount of dental hygienists that graduate begin practicing without knowing about the importance of research to the dental hygiene profession. In order to allow future dental hygienists to interpret current literature and to advance dental public health and the dental hygiene profession itself, dental hygiene programs must incorporate education on basic research principles. Some dental hygiene programs, their students and instructors included, would argue that their program does not allow time for an additional course dedicated to research. This may, in fact, be true in associate degree programs."

"text": "This information aims to provide an overview of hemiplegia, the impacts it may have on a child and the support available. Although this information only covers childhood, hemiplegia is a lifelong condition and so it also affects adults. It is our goal to develop services and information for adults with hemiplegia in the future, but in the meantime we hope this will give you general idea of hemiplegia and the effects of the condition. Hemiplegia (sometimes called hemiparesis) is a condition that affects one side of the body (Greek ‘hemi’ = half). We talk about a right or left hemiplegia, depending on the side affected. It is caused by injury to parts of the brain that control movements of the limbs, trunk, face, etc. This may happen before, during or soon after birth (up to two years of age approximately), when it is known as congenital hemiplegia (or unilateral cerebral palsy), or later in life as a result of injury or illness, in which case it is called acquired hemiplegia. Generally, injury to the left side of the brain will cause a right hemiplegia and injury to the right side a left hemiplegia. Hemiplegia is a relatively common condition, affecting up to one child in 1,000. About 80% of cases are congenital, and 20% acquired."

Grommets, also called tympanostomy or ventilation tubes, are tiny plastic tubes which are inserted into a small slit in your child's ear drum in a short operation. You can see how tiny a grommet is when it's placed on an adult finger, or next to a millimetre ruler. The following diagram and photo show a grommet in place in an ear drum. ( The diagram uses the terms ear tubes and tympanostomy tubes to refer to grommets). How do grommets work? Grommets maintain normal middle ear pressure by allowing air into the space on the other side of the ear drum, from the outside. This reduces the risk of fluid building up in that space. If an ear infection does occur, the resultant pus flows out through the grommet, limiting the pain your child suffers. If your child develops an ear infection with grommets in place, your doctor can use topical treatments (such as prescribed ear drops which are put directly into the ear) rather then oral antibiotics."

Although identifying the essence of what it means to be a reading specialist is a continuing goal for researchers, during the past decade, several studies have more clearly defined the roles and responsibilities of this important group of reading professionals. Several studies reveal that the International Reading Association Standards for Reading Professionals (Professional Standards and Ethics Committee of the International Reading Association, 1998) are being used in whole or in part by teacher preparation programs in the United States (Barclay & Thistlewaite, 1992; Gelheiser & Meyers, 1991; Tancock, 1995; Bean, Trovato, Armitage, Bryant, & Dugan, 1993; Bean, Trovato, Hamilton, 1995). These standards, revised in 2003, provide criteria for developing and evaluating preparation programs for reading professionals. At the time of this study, the revised standards (Professional Standards and Ethics Committee of the International Reading Association, 2003) were not available. Although these standards emphasize the performance, knowledge, and skills of candidates completing a preparation program, they indicate a caliber of higher performance expected of a seasoned professional reading specialist. Standards states, “The increased focus on candidate performance . . . is a response to the shifts in the field of education toward a focus on the outcomes of learning rather than inputs” (2003). Since the roles and responsibilities of reading specialists are constantly changing, administrators and reading specialists often perceive reading specialists’ roles differently (Barry, 1997). Classroom teachers’ expectations for a reading specialist are different still (Maleki & Herman, 1994; Tancock, 1995)."

Heart disease affects millions of Americans and takes many forms. Nurses that take care of patients with heart-related conditions are cardiac nurses. Cardiac nurses can work in a variety of environments, including operating rooms, intensive care units (ICU), telemetry units, labs or private practices. In fact, I worked with open heart surgery patients in a cardiac unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for several years after having my first child. Working the 3-11 shift meant that we had many new admissions, post surgery ICU transfers and pre-surgery patients. They all had to have cardiac monitoring/telemetry along with diagnostic tests like cardiac catheterizations in which the blood supply to the heart is checked. They also had to undergo various treatments such as angioplasty, the balloon procedure that opens blocked arteries."

Early intervention specialists can work inside a preschool classroom, but most provide individual services to children within their homes. These teachers may work directly for school districts, regionally based programs, medical providers or private education companies. Children who receive early intervention services generally have more severe physical, cognitive, behavioral or communication delays than children who are identified later. So, their individualized education program (IEP) goals are usually more developmental than academic. Though it may seem to the casual observer that early intervention specialists are simply playing with these children, the exercises and games that these teachers use are actually designed to support critical skills development. In fact, education research proves again and again that the earlier a child with a disability receives special education support, the better. A Day in the Life The majority of early intervention specialists travel to their students’ homes because education research supports the theory that very young children make the most progress in their natural (home) environments."

Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist (ABA)An ABA therapist is a person who uses applied behavior analysis as a form of treatment. Applied Behavior Analysis is the process of studying behavior in order to put into place appropriate behavioral interventions.

After recently writing about the debate of whether a college degree was still worth it or not, I have been doing a little bit more research on the topic. I found out about the growing Faux Ploma industry and I recently stumbled on an article that talks about the top paying 25 jobs that you can get without a degree. In the article, the author makes a couple encouraging statements for those without a college degree…The belief that you need a college education to have a well-paying and rewarding job is quickly fading. A four-year degree definitely has its benefits in the business world, but it’s not the only path to a successful career.and…“…according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), eight of the 10 fastest-growing occupations through 2014 don’t require a bachelor’s degree. And these jobs, which include health technology, plumbing, firefighting and automotive repair, are less vulnerable to outsourcing. After all, if a fire breaks out, you need the fire department to be a few blocks away, not halfway around the world. ”As I mentioned in the previous posts I wrote about college degrees, regardless of whether or not you get a college degree, you have to be a learner. Success comes from learning. If you don’t have a college degree, but you are a lifelong learner devoted to developing yourself and learning new and relevant skills you will be successful."

Depending upon your career desires, you may discover that your degree requirements are no heavier than any other degree required by a specialty program.

Current average public two-year college tuition comes to a little over $2,000, or roughly equal to the average individual tax refund, according to the IRS. The above numbers are based on general statistics, not data that pertains specifically to ultrasound technicians. In comparison, a public four-year college asks for nearly $5,500 annual tuition and private four-year university annual tuition can top $21,000. Fortunately, your choice of becoming an ultrasound technician or diagnostic medical sonographer (DMS) can help."

"text": "Career as an Ultrasound Technician and the Sonographer Salary By Diane Turner Ultrasound technicians are professionals in the healthcare sector who are tasked to conduct diagnostic ultrasounds to patients. Also referred to as a medical sonographer, this profession is highly technical and the technician will need to undergo certain training in order to take up this job title. Ultrasound technicians give other medical professionals an important service and without them it would be impossible to identify some of the ailments that affect our internal organs. There are various aspects to this profession and it doesn’t just involve the taking imagery. The ultrasound technicians also need to prepare patients for the ultrasound by explaining to them what the procedure entails and answering their concerns. The ultrasound technician will then apply gel and position the patient on the table where the exam will be conducted. Patients’ records also need to be taken and examined to ensure that the patient is fit to take the exam. During the procedure, the ultrasound technician will want to ensure that the patient is comfortable and operate the equipment personally to take the best possible images. The more images are taken the better as these make it easier to select images that clearly indicate the underlying problem. After the tests have been completed, copies of the images are presented to the doctor in charge and the ultrasound technicianwill be required to give a written report on the findings and an oral one as well."

Schools offering Diagnostic Medical Sonography degreescan also be found in these popular choices . What Is a Sonographer? Sonographers use their training to create digital images of the human body that help physicians diagnose different medical conditions. These images are created via high-frequency sound waves and are typically of various organs and body tissues; the images are called sonograms or ultrasounds. Sonographers usually specialize in a particular part of the body, like the breasts or abdomen, or with a particular population, such as pediatric or obstetric sonographers. These professionals work closely with doctors to discuss the procedures and results. Often, sonograms are the first diagnostic image taken when a doctor thinks a patient may have a disease."

"text": "A Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is a highly-skilled technician who operates special imaging equipment for medical diagnosis such as ultra-sound for cardiac and vascular conditions, pregnancies, and other internal conditions. The sonogram, used for breast exams, the cardiac and vascular systems, nervous and muscular systems and to locate tumors, uses echo location to show sections of various organs. It can be used to check heart valves or show expectant parents the first pictures of the unborn child. Job responsibilities of a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer... If the doctor asked a cardiac sonographer (echocardiographer) to check a patient's mitral and aortic valves, the technicians must know where to look in the heart. Echocardiographers work with children and adults to help cardiologists identify heart defects and other conditions. *** The sonographer generally does the following: Prepares patient for the ultra-sound by applying gel to area to be viewed Prepares the diagnostic equipment Operates the equipment in response to the doctor's requirements May assist in analysis of the information Records information as requested. Ultra-sound technology is used extensively by obstetricians working with pregnant women to locate the baby (or babies) as they grow inside the mother. A sonogram may show the doctor that a baby is in the breech position or that it has the umbilical cord wrapped around it in a dangerous position. This basic diagnostic procedure has been used for decades to assist doctors in the safe delivery of babies. Many sonographers enjoy working in the field of obstetrics."

"text": "\"What is a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer? A diagnostic medical sonographer could be answering the question \"\"Is it a boy or a girl?\"\" as well as a host of other life-changing medical questions with the help of ultrasound technology. Beyond babies, sonograms are used to help diagnose other medical conditions by creating images of body organs and tissues. These professionals include musculoskeletal sonographers, who specialize in creating images of muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints; neurosonographers, who focus on the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord; abdominal sonographers, who capture images of the abdominal cavity as well as nearby organs like the kidney, liver and pancreas; and breast sonographers, who capture images of breast tissue that could confirm the presence of cysts and tumors. Skilled diagnostic medical sonographers play a vital role in ensuring a proper diagnosis. It's a job with both social and technical elements, since sonographers must position a patient just right so that a properly calibrated machine can produce the best possible image. The job also requires social savvy, since the sonographer is the first person nervous patients turn to for information about their condition. Advances in imaging technology will lead medical facilities to use it more in place of costly, invasive procedures and less-expensive equipment, which means more procedures will be conducted outside hospitals. Although hospitals are the biggest employers of diagnostic medical sonographers, employment should grow rapidly in physicians' offices and medical and diagnostic laboratories."

"text": "A radiologist is a medical professional who interprets medical images like MRIs, X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds. He or she may also use radioactive materials for the purpose of medical imaging, while another related medical specialty focuses on the use of radiation to treat conditions such as cancer. In the sense of using diagnostic images, someone in this position knows how to operate equipment such as MRI and X-ray machines, and how to interpret the images which this equipment generates. Generally, a radiology technician performs the actual imaging, turning the results over to the radiologist, although in a small hospital or clinic, a radiologist may perform both tasks. Sometimes, patients must ingest various substances such as barium for a specific imaging study, and radiologists may supervise this proceeding. A radiologist can also inject radioactive tracers into a patient so that images can be taken to study things like the flow of blood and the nervous system. This is known as nuclear medicine, in a reference to the radioactive materials which are used. Nuclear medicine can be used to screen for a wide range of conditions, and to get a general idea of physical health and functionality in patients. After acquiring and interpreting images, a radiologist discusses the situation with the patient's doctor. The doctor decides what action to take in the patient's case, although the radiologist's advice may be considered."

By Peter Hildebrandt Radiology Today Vol. 11 No. 8 P. 20There are approximately 150 of them in the United States, but chiropractic radiologists are little known to most people in medical imaging. Mention chiropractic radiology on an online message board or to a group of medical radiologists, and you’ll likely be met with questioning looks. But Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) regularly use imaging technologies in their practices. In most states, plain film radiography is within a chiropractor’s scope of practice, and many states allow a chiropractor to order and even interpret advanced imaging if they have the proper training and credentials, according to American Chiropractic College of Radiology (ACCR) President J. Todd Knudsen, DC, DACBR. Some larger chiropractic offices, especially those integrated with other healthcare professionals, may have diagnostic ultrasound or other imaging modalities available for their patients. Though laws vary by state, chiropractors are often free to order advanced studies such as CT, MRI, or ultrasound, according to Gary A. Longmuir, MApp Sc, DC, DACBR, of Diagnostic X-Ray Consultation Services in Arizona. Many chiropractors rely on a chiropractic radiologist such as Longmuir to read and interpret films for them."

It is a specialization within medicine used to diagnose and treat disease. Featured Schools Traditionally, radiology was conducted using x-rays or radiological devices, but advances in technology have enabled the introduction of many new diagnostic imaging techniques including ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT scans) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). These images are used by radiologists to identify abnormalities and diagnose disease. Radiology also plays a crucial part in targeting cancer and is used to destroy cancerous cells. Careers in Radiology Radiology is a fast growing field, with a projected growth rate of employment of 28% from 2010 through 2020 for radiologic technologists, as according to BLS. They are increasingly required in hospitals and physicians’ offices. Hospitals are the biggest employers of radiologists, followed by physicians’ offices; however, with the growth in external diagnostic imaging centers there are, and will continue to be, more radiology jobs outside the hospital. Diagnostic radiologists are trained doctors, responsible for detecting and treating illnesses, whilst radiology technicians provide assistance to the radiologists and perform the diagnostic imaging procedures."

Talk about looking at someone inside and out: A radiologist is a medical doctor who uses radiologic technology like X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs and CT scans to look inside patients' bodies to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. Radiologists are responsible for delivering radiation treatments for cancer and other illnesses. Radiologists routinely tackle serious medical issues with their patients and the field requires a huge commitment to obtain the necessary training and specialization needed to advance. As medical doctors, radiologists are required to have a rich background of education and thorough training. According to information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, all physicians - including radiologists - must complete a four-year bachelor's degree program, four years of medical school, and between three and eight years of medical residency. Some degree programs have streamlined the first two legs of the educational journey by offering combined pre-med and medical degrees in six or seven years. No matter what path they ultimately choose, future radiologists can plan on picking up essential skills during residency, as this part of the education process is where clinical specialty skills are generally obtained. The residency should also help prepare students for licensure, which can be obtained from the American Board of Radiology. Radiologists can choose to become licensed in a specialty including diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology, nuclear radiology and more."

A diagnostic medical sonographer could be answering the question \"\"Is it a boy or a girl?\"\" as well as a host of other life-changing medical questions with the help of ultrasound technology. Beyond babies, sonograms are used to help diagnose other medical conditions by creating images of body organs and tissues. These professionals include musculoskeletal sonographers, who specialize in creating images of muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints; neurosonographers, who focus on the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord; abdominal sonographers, who capture images of the abdominal cavity as well as nearby organs like the kidney, liver and pancreas; and breast sonographers, who capture images of breast tissue that could confirm the presence of cysts and tumors. Skilled diagnostic medical sonographers play a vital role in ensuring a proper diagnosis. It's a job with both social and technical elements, since sonographers must position a patient just right so that a properly calibrated machine can produce the best possible image. The job also requires social savvy, since the sonographer is the first person nervous patients turn to for information about their condition. Advances in imaging technology will lead medical facilities to use it more in place of costly, invasive procedures and less-expensive equipment, which means more procedures will be conducted outside hospitals. Although hospitals are the biggest employers of diagnostic medical sonographers, employment should grow rapidly in physicians' offices and medical and diagnostic laboratories."

However, there are dozens of other clinical uses for medical sonography, commonly known as diagnostic medical sonography, beyond ultrasounds for pregnant women. The noninvasive nature of the technology makes it the preferred method for several diagnostic applications in the clinical realm, including viewing organs and monitoring blood flow, which a cardiovascular technician might do. As diagnostic imaging technology continues to improve, medical facilities are likely to use it to replace more invasive and costly sonography procedures, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This is great news for aspiring diagnostic medical sonographers embarking on or refreshing their sonographer education. It means the career outlook for this allied health career is strong: 17 percent projected growth nationally between 2016 and 2026 for sonographers. That's more than double the national average for all occupations, not just allied health ones, and adds up to about 21,000 new sonography jobs nationwide. Here are answers to questions you may have about becoming a diagnostic medical sonographer. Learn about the field of diagnostic medical sonography in general, the amount of education you may need to reach your goals, and explore data around a sonographer salary.

"text": "\"Education & Reference Higher Education (University +)To become a sonographer, do i need to have an associates degree? Follow 1 answer Answers Best Answer: When thinking about entering an ultrasound program, you need not be concerned so much about certificate vs. degree. What is important is that you go to an ACCREDITED program, whether it is college or hospital based. An accredited program allows you to take your registry (licensing) exams upon graduation. Once you get licensed, you will never be asked about your schooling again. An employer does not care what route you take to get licensed, they just want you to have that license. Don't waste your time or money on a NON-accredited program. Upon completion and graduation from a NON-accredited program, you must work in the field of sonography for a full year prior to taking your licensing examinations. But, you will have a hard time finding an employer to hire you, unless you are licensed. I would suggest you observe an imaging department to get an idea of what ultrasonographers do daily."

Responsible for overseeing investigations of terrorists, spies and corrupt officials, as well as the sensitive inquiry into Hillary Clinton ’s use of a private email server, the longtime FBI agent toils mostly behind the scenes, and he likes it that way. “My focus is on the inside [of the FBI] and all the work we do that is not talked about in the newspaper, on CNN, on the Hill,” Mc Cabe, 48, said in his first interview since he was named FBI Director James B. Comey’s second-in-command in January. Comey is \"\"totally focused\"\" on high-profile issues like the recent legal fight with Apple over an encrypted i Phone used by one of the San Bernardino killers and questions from members of Congress, Mc Cabe said. \"\" My focus is on the stuff we have done for 100 years and do every day that people never hear about,” he added. The deputy director's job always has been both influential and grueling. It has become more so under Comey, who took over the FBI in 2013 and is considered less detail-oriented than his predecessor, Robert F. Mueller.

Your experience may be a perfect fit to work for the FBI. While the FBI often seems like it’s strictly populated with special agents who work in the field tracking hardened criminals, this reputation is fostered by popular media, including television programs and movies.

If you have skills in criminal justice, information technology, the healthcare field, administration, finance and accounting, and other areas, there may be a great career waiting for you with the FBI. The Twofold Path There are two basic career paths within the FBI. The first is, of course, the most visible career path – that of the “special agent.” The other career path is both broader and less well-known – that of “professional staff.” Of course, special agents with the FBI do come in from different backgrounds and all walks of life, and if you are interested in a job as a special agent, as long as you can demonstrate some degree of special skill in the five main target areas of accounting, computer science or information technology, law, language, or what is called “diversified,” you have already passed the preliminary qualifications."

There is an attempt to link crimes of serial offenders, provide inferences of offender characteristics from behavioral evidence analysis (deductive inferences) and/or attempts to statistically associate common traits of offenders who commit specific crimes in specific ways (inductive inferences). Some Forensic Psychologists conduct criminal profiling, as do some criminologists. The Secret Service (DHS) does some profiling of threats to protectees, has done some work on attempting to profile school shooters, and conducts threat analysis regarding major public events. Predictive profiling, such as that done for drug mules and smugglers differs from criminal profiling. Some larger police agencies employ profilers, some trained by the FBI, and some employ Forensic Psychologists who conduct profiling among other responsibilities."

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in its present form and its director from May 10, 1924, until his death in 1972. Hoover was appointed the first director of the FBI by President Calvin Coolidge. During his tenure, Hoover attained extraordinary power and unusual discretionary authority, while also feuding with many adversaries. It is because of Hoover that, since his tenure, FBI directors have been limited to ten-year terms. Hoover is credited with creating an effective law enforcement organization but has frequently been accused of exceeding and abusing his authority by blackmailing notable public figures [ citation needed] and engaging in extralegal activities such as through the COINTELPRO program he initiated (see below). Hoover habitually fired FBI agents, either randomly or by singling out those who \"\"looked stupid like truck drivers\"\" or were \"\"pinheads.\"\" [ 1] He was also notorious for relocating agents who had displeased him, such as Melvin Purvis, to career-ending jobs in cities with little need for an FBI presence.

C., but few details are known of his early years; his birth certificate was not filed until 1938. What little is known about his upbringing generally can be traced back to a single 1937 profile by journalist Jack Alexander. Hoover was educated at George Washington University, graduating in 1917 with a law degree."

Nocturnal supplemental oxygen is often used as therapy, although convincing data exist only for those who are hypoxemic both during sleep and wake. Ongoing trials may help address whether oxygen should be used in those with only desaturation during sleep.

This helps anchor your circadian rhythm so that light at night has less of an ability to disrupt your biological clocks By Dr. Mercola Sleep is such an important part of your overall health that no amount of healthful food and exercise can counteract the ill effects of poor sleeping habits. Researchers have linked poor sleep to a number of ailments, from short-term memory loss and behavioral problems, to weight gain, diabetes, and even increased risk of cancer, just to mention a few. Yet while most of the literature emphasizes the ramifications of insufficient sleep, research shows too much sleep isn't good either. 1 Studies have linked excessive sleep to health risks ranging from depression to an increased risk for stroke, just to name a few. There is, it appears, a \"\"Goldilocks zone\"\" when it comes to sleep. After reviewing more than 300 studies to ascertain how many hours of sleep most people need to maintain good health, the panel of experts concluded that most adults need seven to nine hours, or right around eight hours, of sleep each night. Studies suggest consistently sleeping less than eight hours, and more than nine — with the exception of children and teens — is associated with health risks. ("

April 11, 20131.2K 3 3 10 5 Like Kent Mao, Contributor Waking Times ADHD seems to be a touchy subject among many doctors, as it remains one of the most controversial yet most common diagnoses in today’s society. It’s interesting to note that, although ADHD is believed to affect 5% of the adult population, it is most often diagnosed in school-age children, leading many to question whether ADHD is an actual disorder or merely a convenient way of dealing with more troublesome kids. While the days of Ritalin are long over, – there’s a new designer drug called Vyvanse – medical opinions continue to be divided on this disorder. Although most doctors agree that ADHD is a real condition, the alarming rise in diagnoses over the years leads experts to suggest that the definition of this disorder is being too loosely applied in practice. According to a recent story in the New York Times (1), nearly one in five high school boys and 11 percent of school-age children across the United States have been officially diagnosed with ADHD. That’s a 16 percent increase since 2007 and a 41 percent rise over the past decade. Stimulants vs. Cocaine: What’s The Difference? Along with the debate on how to identify children who suffer from this disorder, many parents are wary of the long-term effects of stimulant medications. ADHD is most commonly treated with amphetamine-derived formulations, which are nearly identical in molecular structure to the street drugs known as cocaine and meth."

Shareemail facebook tumblr twitter reddit google+ pinterest Why do we sleep? If you live to a ripe old age, you'll spend a cumulative 30 years of your life asleep. But have you ever really pondered this question? Scientists are yet to establish a unified theory of sleep, mainly because sleep really is a dark area of research. In fact, it wasn't until the 20th century that scientists discovered the human brain is highly active during sleep. Sleep Cycles In the human brain (in fact - in all mammals and birds) sleep has two phases: Rapid Eye Movement (REM sleep)Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM sleep or Slow Wave Sleep)Each stage of sleep has its own physiological, neurological and psychological features. They flow together to form whole sleep cycles."

D. author of Mind Boosters: Natural Supplements that Enhance Your Mood, Memory, and Mind November 18 2017SAM-e is a powerful natural mood elevator and can be used to treat depression or used in those who have low mood. However you have to be careful. If you take too much you can get anxiety and insomnia. S-adenosylmethionine is made from the amino acid methionine and ATP. SAMe is a methyl donor involved in the making of dozens of important compounds in the body. This nutrient has been available by prescription in Europe for many years as an antidepressant and has been available over the counter in the US since about 1996. It is present in every living cell in the body. However, levels tend to decline with age. My experience I have personally taken SAM-e just to see what it would do, and it is quite a powerful mood lifter."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( May 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Sleep spindles are bursts of neural oscillatory activity that are generated by interplay of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) and other thalamic nuclei during stage 2 NREM sleep in a frequency of ~10 –12 Hz for at least 0.5 seconds. [ 1] [2] After generation in the TRN, spindles are sustained and relayed to the cortex by a thalamo-thalamic and thalamo-cortical feedback loops regulated by both GABAergic and NMDA-receptor mediated glutamatergic neurotransmission. [ 3] Sleep spindles have been found in all tested mammalian species and in vitro cells. Research supports that spindles (sometimes referred to as \"\"sigma bands\"\" or \"\"sigma waves\"\") play an essential role in both sensory processing and long term memory consolidation. Until recently, it was believed that each sleep spindle oscillation peaked at the same time throughout the neocortex. It was determined that oscillations sweep across the neocortex in circular patterns around the neocortex, peaking in one area, and then a few milliseconds later in an adjacent area."

"text": "\"A Hot Truck: On Summer Heat, Truck Heat and Bake Oven Conditions No discussion on idling is complete without addressing how summer heat creates a hot truck. Every professional truck driver knows that with the sun beating down, there can be tremendous heat build up inside the truck. There is so much truck heat at times that the inside of a large commercial motor vehicle feels like a bake oven. We have experienced it for ourselves. Sometimes it is all that a driver can do just to stay even remotely comfortable inside a hot truck with the sun blazing down during the long summer days. The question is: How Hot Can a Hot Truck Get? Based on what we've been able to find, there is little formal research on the subject of measuring the temperature inside large trucks, that is, how hot a hot truck can get. However, there is plenty of research on how hot cars get. We cannot verify it, but we would take a calculated guess that what applies to cars also applies to trucks with little variation. Some of the more heavily insulated trucks (like a Freightliner Cascadia) may heat up more slowly once the air conditioning is turned off when the truck is parked (assuming no idling alternatives)."

February 25, 2018 By Cindy Schmidler 41 Comments Some health insurance plans allow you to refer yourself to a doctor—that is, if you know what is wrong, you can go see a medical specialist without having to be referred by your regular doctor. In other plans, you have to be referred to a specialist by your primary care physician (regular doctor). If you are trying to figure out what kind of doctor you need for your health problem or symptoms you’re having, then this list will help you out. It tells you what kind of doctor treats what.

Do each of us have a personal tolerance or intolerance of carbohydrates? Does this also vary by source of carbohydrate? Learn how evolutionary tools may explain appetite regulation and carbohydrate metabolism and offer ways to regain carb tolerance through diet and lifestyle modifications. In this episode, we explore how carbohydrate intolerance works. We look at the evolutionary template (basically the Paleo template), neuroregulation of appetite, carbohydrate tolerance, insulin resistance and sensitivity, and the factors that drive all of these.“ Once the person is insulin resistant, particularly when they are heading down this road towards prediabetes and potentially diabetes, there is without a doubt one intervention that seems to work remarkably well. That’s reducing carbohydrate level to a point where it’s no longer toxic to the individual.” – Robb Wolf Robb Wolf ( @Robb Wolf) is basically the man responsible for bringing Paleo to the mainstream, in part via his New York Times Bestseller, The Paleo Solution. He also has a new book out, Wired to Eat, which covers many of the topics discussed in this episode."

New-onset ulnar symptoms after carpal tunnel release It's not unusual to have a patient complaining of first noting some numbness or tingling or burning in the small and ring finger side of the hand after carpal surgery. Usually the person can be forewarned to expect this if she is carefully examined including thorough nerve conduction studies preoperatively. People tend to focus on what they are noticing the most; i.e. who is talking the loudest, the squeaky hinge, etc. thus, they tend to be very aware of the symptoms from the carpal tunnel which is the \"\"eyes\"\" of the hand - the thumb, index, and long fingers for dexterity. Only after those symptoms are eliminated with carpal tunnel release will she then become aware of the less noticeable decreased sensibility in the ulnar side of the hand. Aside from the sensory symptoms in the fingers in the ulnar side of the hand, clumsiness, aching in the hand or forearm, and sometimes even the aching or numbness radiating up to the shoulder and neck in addition to awakening at night due to your hands may be experienced with either a pinched median nerve or a pinched ulnar nerve.

The goal was to gain a full understanding of the technique and application of quantitative sensory examinations using the NMT Pressure-Specific Sensory Device (PSSD) which had been thoroughly developed and studied in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy - most specifically diabetic peripheral entrapment neuropathy. Dr. Ichtertz added this to his clinical armamentarium and has utilized the technology to further enhance the diagnosis and improve the treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment, both nonoperative and operative - specifically cubital tunnel syndrome."

I want to work with wild animals either in a zoo or in a wildlife sanctuary; I would like to administer their medicine, prepare their diets, and study and observe them. What field would be best for me: veterinary technology or zoology? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are several different careers that would fit the activities you would like to do. Animal caretakers in zoos or wildlife sanctuaries provide most daily care for the animals in their charge. This can include preparation of meals, administration of medication, and making daily observations of their behavior to look for any changes that could indicate the presence of a medical problem. Many will also arrange enrichment activities for the animals to keep them active. Jobs in this field usually require a Bachelor's of Science degree (B. S.) in Biology or Zoology as well as practical experience (e.g. volunteering at a zoo or sanctuary). Veterinary technicians are in many ways analogous to human nurses. Like veterinarians they are more involved in the medical side of animal care and not so much the observation or study."

Share Flip Pin Share Email By Thomas Phelps Updated March 03, 2017With the continuing advances in technology, finance and business-compliancy concerns, the demand for an educated sales force has risen. While not all sales careers require education beyond high school, many do. While certain sales industries may demand a specific degree, there are college degrees that are widely accepted and sought after in the sales industry.01 Pharmaceutical Sales•••I started this article out with the one industry that almost always requires a college degree. Practically every pharmaceutical company that employs a sales force has a minimum requirement a bachelor degree. While a degree in biology or chemistry is best suited for a career in the pharmaceutical industry, most any degree will suffice. Unless you have a 4 year (or more) degree, you may not want to spend much time, energy or money pursuing a sales position in the pharmaceutical industry.02 Bachelors of Finance In sales, a degree in Finance is king. In sales, you will be designing solutions and proposals that will involve the transfer of money. Having a finance background allows sales professionals to more fully understand the financial impact to both the sales professional's company and the customer's. Understanding the financial impact of a transaction also improves the rapport that sales professionals can build with their client."

They are commonly discussed in relationship to various forms of hypothesis testing in statistics, such as a chi-square. It is essential to calculate degrees of freedom when trying to understand the importance of a chi square statistic and the validity of the null hypothesis . Next Up Index of Economic Freedom Student Debt Freedom Shares Juris Doctor - JDBREAKING DOWN 'Degrees Of Freedom'For example, consider a student needs to take nine courses to graduate, and there are only nine courses offered the student can take. In this example, there are eight degrees of freedom; the student is able to choose eight of the classes that are available, but the ninth class is the only class left, and the student has to enroll in it to graduate. Chi Square Tests There are two different kinds of chi square tests: the test of independence, which asks a question of relationship, such as, \"\"Is there a relationship between gender and SAT scores? \"\"; and the goodness-of-fit test, which asks something like \"\"If a coin is tossed 100 times, will it come up heads 50 times and tails 50 times?\"\" For these tests, degrees of freedom are utilized to determine if a certain null hypothesis can be rejected based on the total number of variables and samples within the experiment. For example, when considering students and course choice, a sample size of 30 or 40 students is likely not large enough to generate significant data. Getting the same or similar results from a study using a sample size of 400 or 500 students is more valid."

And no, we’re not talking about the 1980 American musical film Fame, we’re talking about the popularity of FAME subjects among university students… obviously. The popularity of FAME subjects ( finance , accounting , management and economics) comes from their vital role in the world of business, particularly those first two letters of the acronym: accounting and finance. A total of 36 countries boast at least one university among the 200 top accounting and finance schools ranked in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018, showing it’s not just highly developed countries which have a need for accountants.

However, those who study further will usually specialize in either one or the other, in order to gain more advanced expertise in one particular field. The primary difference in the battle of accounting vs finance is that accounting has a relatively narrow focus, while finance is wider-ranging, covering an array of specializations in the world of business, economics and banking. While accounting focuses on the day-to-day management of financial reports and records across the business world, finance uses this same information to project future growth and to analyze expenditure in order to strategize company finances. So finance degree students will likely be more interested in financial strategy and control, while accounting degree students will be more focused on professional principles and processes, used in order to manage numbers rather than influence them."

Published3 years agoon August 3, 2015By Brian Robben I often get the question, “How many credit hours should I take my first semester of college?”Of course, the specific answer depends on the individual and their situation. But, there are many different general opinions to this question. Today, I’m going to pick on one group’s answer. This camp tells freshmen to get ahead by taking 18 credit hours, or more, in their first semester. This group firmly believes a college student needs to hedge against the possibility of graduating late more than anything else. I understand the argument there. And when it’s doable to graduate in four years, I agree that graduating in five or six years is a waste of time and money. But with those acknowledgements, I disagree in starting college with a heavy class schedule to get ahead. I believe this may actually put the student behind."

When we move teeth orthodontically, what happens is that a small pressure exerted over a long period of time stimulates the cells in the bone to resorb in the direction of tooth movement. Once a space is made, the tooth is pushed into the space. Bone fills in behind where the tooth once was located. The process repeats itself again till the tooth is in the final desired position. This process can take place at any age. Yes, you can get braces at 40 years of age! The only caveat is that it usually is easier when the patient is younger. Isn’t most everything?

For more on job descriptions and how to become a orthodontist, please visit our orthodontist job description page. Work Environment The majority of orthodontists will work either in their own practices, or in a joint practice with other orthodontists or dentists. Occasionally, they will work in hospitals, physicians’ offices, or the offices of other health practitioners, but this accounts for less than 1% of employed orthodontists. As their work involves close inspection and treatment of the mouth, the work environment for orthodontists will be well-lit and clean. They will need to be skilled at working with patients in all age ranges, from the elderly to the quite young, and especially with teenagers, who may be in need of braces or retainers. Work Schedule Most orthodontists tend to work full time, with a forty-hour work week. This can, however, vary to some degree, with the occasional need for overtime or emergency work.

"text": "Complete Rubber Brands for Braces Guide There are two main types of orthodontic elastics: ligatures and inter-arch elastics (rubber bands). Ligatures are small elastics that are placed around each bracket and are used to hold the archwire in the slot on the bracket. They typically come in many different colors and can be used to push or pull teeth in a particular direction. Rubber bands on the other hand are somewhat larger, also come in a variety of colors, but are used to apply pressure to the jaw to correct the alignment of your bite and reduce overbite/underbite. They can be applied in number of configurations, but the most common is inter-arch (from the top to the bottom). In This Guide What do Elastics do How and When to Wear Them Available Colors and Combination Ideas What Do Rubber Bands (Elastics) Do? While brackets, archwires and ligatures are responsible for moving teeth along the gumline and the angle at which they point away from the gums, rubber bands pull the jaw forward or backward in order to line up your top and bottom rows of teeth to improve your smile and make your teeth fit together comfortably when you bite down. They can also be used to speed up the process of moving or straightening a tooth or teeth. To accomplish this, brackets with hooks are placed along the side of the mouth – one or more on both the left and right side of the top and bottom set of teeth (see below). A band is attached on each side of the mouth – from one hook/bracket to the other."

By Stephanie Dube Dwilson; Updated July 05, 2017Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images If you enjoy helping people recover from injuries and regain control of their life again, you'll enjoy being a physical therapist. The path to becoming a physical therapist isn't easy, though. You'll have to go through seven or even 10 years of schooling before you can start practicing. So be prepared in advance to persevere through long nights of studying and intensive exams. Undergraduate School You'll need a bachelor's degree in a subject relevant to physical therapy before you can be accepted into one of the professional programs. First, find out what prerequisite classes are required by the professional program you're interested in. Typically, you'll need to take classes that include anatomy, chemistry, biology, physics, psychology and physiology as an undergrad in order to qualify for a professional-level PT program. Because entry into physical therapy programs is highly competitive, you'll want to get the best grades possible. Schools typically require at least a 3.0 GPA and some schools also require physical therapy knowledge, such as volunteering or observing professional PT work while you're in college."

Who would you call? A physical therapist? How about an occupational therapist? The truth is, many people consider physical therapy and occupational therapy to be interchangeable. But if you're interested in medicine, anatomy and exercise and you're in the midst of narrowing down a field of post-graduate study, which one do you choose? Both occupational therapy and physical therapy are set to see faster than average growth over the next ten years, both are typically paired with healthy median salaries and they both require many of the same skills. In fact, patients will sometimes even see both a physical therapist and an occupational therapist, often meeting with one practitioner first before being referred to the other—so what's the difference? We wanted to get to the bottom of this commonly asked question, so we pulled some data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Here is what we found: Occupational therapy vs. physical therapy: The basics The word occupation, while most commonly used in reference to a person's vocational path, means \"\"an activity in which a person is engaged.\"\""

Instead, their treatment options include exercise, stretching, hands-on therapy and equipment, such as traction devices. Because their jobs involve healing the injured and disabled, they must follow strict educational requirements to obtain their licenses. Bachelor’s You cannot become a physical therapist with just a bachelor’s degree, which takes four years to complete. The course of study does allow students to take two jobs in the field. The higher paying one is that of physical therapist assistant, which allows for direct care of patients, depending on state requirements. The second is that of PT aide, which requires only a high school diploma and includes on-the-job training. However, bachelor's degree holders will be overqualified for both jobs since assistants typically need a minimum associate degree and aides only require a minimum high school diploma. Degrees A bachelor's degree does qualify the student to take a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, which is the minimum requirement to become a physical therapist."

If you enjoy biology and fitness and want a helping profession, consider physical therapy. Physical therapists help patients achieve improved function and mobility and a reduction in the pain caused by illness or injury. Qualifications normally include completion of a three-year Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and a state license. Most PT schools require you to complete a bachelor's degree before admission, including specific coursework, although some programs admit students sooner. Possible Majors Although physical therapy programs typically require a Bachelor of Science degree, you don't have to declare any specific major. The American Physical Therapy Association, APTA, recommends choosing a major that will help you complete the prerequisites for the PT program of your choice. Most prospective physical therapists choose biology, exercise science, psychology or kinesiology as an undergraduate major, according to APTA. Prerequisite Classes The prerequisite classes for physical therapy programs span several majors, so you'll need to take some prerequisites as electives to qualify for graduate school."

Typically 4 years to obtain an undergraduate degree and 3 years of physical therapy school. With this you get a DPT (Doctorate in Physical Therapy) in most programs. In Canada, to become a physical therapist a student must complete a 4 year undergraduate degree, followed by a 2 year physical therapy post graduate degree. After passing board certification exams a student with this training is referred to as a licensed physical therapist. As far as I am aware, there is no doctorate program available in Canada that enables physiotherapists to become a doctor of physical therapy. However, there is at present a lobby group pushing the government to allow/recognize extension of the physical therapy program to a 4 year doctoral degree. If/when this occurs, physiotherapy will become similar to other health care doctoral programs like medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, etc.,"

"text": "\"Tweet What Does it Mean to Study Occupational Therapy? According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, occupational therapy is defined as \"\"skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives.\"\" Occupational therapy provides injured and disabled people with the life skills they need to live as independently as possible. Occupational therapy differs from physical therapy in that the latter is generally focused on major muscle groups and activities like walking and standing. Occupational therapy is more holistic and covers a broader variety of physical and psychological concerns. Occupational therapists, assistants, and aides assist and instruct patients as they work to learn or relearn basic skills. Therapists use a wide variety of tools, equipment, and activities to teach patients to become more independent. The occupational therapist is usually responsible for creating a treatment plan for each patient, and the assistants and aides help carry it out. Occupational therapy is available for people of all ages, with a variety of needs. A developmentally delayed child may practice activities that will strengthen his physical and mental development."

Occupational therapy assistants enjoy a greatly satisfying career working directly with patients of all ages to help them grow and develop positive skills, rehabilitate after injury, manage a multitude of chronic illnesses and conditions, and improve their quality of life dramatically in many other ways. An occupational therapy assistant (OTA) works under the direction of an occupational therapist to guide patients in prescribed therapeutic activities and exercises. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »Often using specialized equipment, OTAs help patients achieve or recover their full, independent and healthy lifestyles in spite of injury or disability. While an occupational therapist may diagnose and prescribe certain treatments, occupational therapy assistants are mostly responsible for directly working with the patient to achieve the treatment goals. It’s important to note, OT assistants (or OTAs) are different than OT aides – aides generally do not assist with exercises or treatment. Workplace Details Since occupational therapy assistants work under the direction of the therapists, they work wherever the OTs work. And since there are many different specialties in occupational therapy, the assistants enjoy a variety of potential workplace environments. Traditionally OTAs worked in hospitals but increasingly they are employed in private practice offices (approximately one third of all assistants). Other venues include schools and nursing care facilities."

As a full-fledged pilot, you receive a higher-than-average salary, attractive benefits and a flexible schedule. Job Description The job of an airplane pilot extends well beyond takeoff and landing. Pilots start their workday in an airport briefing room learning about weather and safety issues related to their flight. Once on board the airplane, a pilot must conduct pre-flight inspections to ensure everything is in working order. Paperwork and logs are a mainstay of pre-and-post-flight regulations. Pilots must be on keen alert for equipment malfunctions, flocks of birds heading for airplane engines or weather issues that may disrupt the flight. As the commander of an airplane, the airplane pilot must coordinate the management of medical emergencies. In addition to flying people to exciting destinations, pilots can work in other roles."

"text": "\"use of flaps Flaps The total weight of air displaced by an airplane must equal or exceed the weight of the aircraft for it to remain airborne. This air weight is obtained by the velocity of the relative wind over the lifting surfaces. An aircraft on approach and using flaps has most of the airflow over the top of the wing and horizontal tail. Flaps change the wing lift capability by changing camber and wing area. Where the G-limits of a light aircraft are 3.8 positive and 1.5 negative the use of flaps make a significant change in these figures. The flap positive load falls to 2.0 and the negative approaches 1.0. What is means is that flaps should not be used during turbulence or high stress manoeuvres. Flaps should be removed in a spin since the recovery from the spin can result in a high G-load pull out. Flaps are not used as brakes. Flaps are used to increase and maintain lift at slower speeds."

If you want to secure the Private Airman Certificate, so that you can fly for pleasure and personal transportation, it will cost you about $5,000 to $9,000 depending on where you are and the arrangements you can make. A private pilot can carry passengers and can add ratings for complex and multi-engine airplanes, but cannot be paid for piloting services. If you want to fly for money, you can become a general commercial pilot. The basic requirement for the Commercial Airman Certificate is 250 hours total flight time. Virtually all commercial certificate holders also secure the instrument and multi-engine ratings, and most secure the instructor ratings. The commercial certificate with ratings will cost you $15,000 to $25,000 above the private certificate, which you must have first. All of these certificates involve a written test and a flight check ride, which includes oral test questions. A considerable amount of aeronautical knowledge is required, and you have to be the kind of person who enjoys learning about science, math, and technical subjects. There is also a medical certification requirement, which begins when you apply as a student pilot and continues throughout your career."

"text": "Published January 1, 2008VMC Vs. VFRWhat’s technically legal isn’t necessarily safe Michael Vivion, Photography By Jeff Berlin In basic flight training, student pilots memorize the cloud clearance and visibility criteria for operation under visual flight rules and instrument flight rules (VFR and IFR). Flight schools and instructors drill into students the cloud clearance and visibility requirements for VFR operations in various categories of airspace, all the while neglecting to mention that none of this has much to do with the ability to keep an airplane upright during periods of restricted visibility and/or lack of terrain definition. As a matter of fact, aside from concerns about FAA violations, what pilots should really care about is whether they have sufficient visual references to keep an airplane right-side up and navigate visually. Those are the things that keep us alive in VFR flight, and in comparison, an FAA violation is no big deal. The conditions I’m describing are VMC, or visual meteorological conditions, as compared to VFR. It’s essential that pilots understand the operational difference between VFR and VMC. VFRs are precisely what the name implies: a set of visibility and cloud-clearance standards that dictate the type of flight operation (VFR or IFR) that a pilot may legally conduct. VMC, on the other hand, refers to conditions that permit a pilot to maintain visual reference with a horizon and provide enough visual references by which he or she can navigate. Pilots should clearly understand what constitutes VMC and commit to a strategic 180-degree turn in the event that they’re no longer able to navigate with visual references."

The combination of a lower pressure, gasoline, and moisture in the air can so cool the metal parts of the intake that the moisture adheres to the parts as ice.

A pilot's \"\"office\"\" is the cockpit which contains all controls, instruments, and electronic communication and navigation equipment necessary to operate the aircraft. Some noise and vibration are noticeable, particularly in propeller aircraft."

"text": "The Army’s New Non-Citizen Recruiting Program For Foreign Health Care Professionals December 30, 2009 Subscribe in a reader On February 23, 2009, the US Army started a new recruiting pilot program for foreign health care professionals. Titled “Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest” (MAVNI), the new pilot program allows certain non-citizens who are legally present in the United States to join the Army and apply immediately for US citizenship without first obtaining lawful permanent residence. The US Army MAVNI recruiting program will recruit up to 333 health care professionals (doctors, dentists, psychiatrists, nurses, and others) nationwide. The Army will also run a separate part of MAVNI in New York City to recruit up to 557 persons who speak certain critical foreign languages; some health care professionals may want to consider that program if they speak one of the critical languages but do not meet the specific MAVNI health care professional program requirements. The Army’s MAVNI program can accelerate the path to US citizenship while MAVNI health care professionals serve in the active Army or the Reserve.1 The pilot program is scheduled to end on December 31, 2009, or whenever the Army meets its projected recruiting needs. Who Can Enlist in the US Army under this new Recruiting Program? Persons With TPS, Asylee, Refugee, Or One Of Several Non-Immigrant Visa Statuses (E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, P, Q, R, S, T, TC, TD, TN, U, or V) Are Potentially Eligible To Enlist. The MAVNI program expands the categories of persons who can lawfully enlist in the United States Armed Forces. Previously, the Armed Forces�the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard2�have generally enlisted only citizens and non-citizen nationals of the United States; lawful permanent resident aliens (including conditional lawful permanent residents); and certain nationals of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Palau who are admissible as non-immigrants under the Compacts of Free Association with those nations.3 Under Section 504 (b) (2) of the military enlistment statute, however, the Secretary of any Armed Force to enlist other aliens “if the Secretary determines that such enlistment is vital to the national interest. ”4 Under guidance from the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army has determined that the enlistment of certain legal non-citizen health care professionals is vital to the national interest, and has authorized the Army to commence the MAVNI pilot program.5 The legal non-citizens to be recruited include doctors and nurses as well as persons who can demonstrate proficiency in any one of the foreign languages listed in Appendix 1."

"text": "\"Tow training – why and how we do basic training via tow Introduction All courses include tow instruction with our pay-in/pay-out fully hydraulic winch. The advantage of a fully hydraulic system, the most expensive of all winches, is that tow forces can be precisely regulated at all times. This greatly adds to the comfort and safety for the towed pilot. The winch has a 25 HP twin cylinder engine that is direct coupled to the hydraulic pump, the heart of the system. Hydraulic fluid is routed through various valves to a servomotor connected to the aluminum drum which holds 10,000' of an extremely strong and durable line called Spectra. The servomotor is heavy duty and is commonly used to drive the front wheels on (4) wheel drive farm and industrial tractors. Pay-in mode is done typically at the turf farms. The line goes out from the winch a 1/4 mile to a truck on the other side of the turf farm which has a tall mast with a pulley at the top. The line goes through the pulley and all the way back to the winch area. In this way, the tow operator has a clear view of the pilot during the launch segment of the flight and can adjust the tow force (or stop it), accordingly."

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), project management is “the art of directing and coordinating human and material resources throughout the life of a project by using modern management techniques to achieve predetermined objectives of scope, cost, time, quality, and participating objectives.” You can extend PMI’s definition to construction project management, wherein a construction project manager uses the same model to achieve the same goal, only in a construction context. At its most fundamental level, construction project management handles the planning, coordination, and execution of a construction project, whether it’s agricultural, residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, heavy civil, or environmental."

We all know far too well that there are many misconceptions out there regarding the English major. Unfortunately, many of these misconceptions are held by English majors themselves. Many current students in pursuit of an English degree find themselves committing to the major despite the \"\"fact\"\" that \"\"they won't earn any money\"\" and \"\"won't find a job.\"\" ( A quick search for \"\"English major\"\" on Twitter alone will shed some light on this popular conclusion.) So, when they do graduate and find a job that involves writing/editing/marketing/publishing/social media/etc., they might feel grateful that they even found a position related to their degree... even if the pay is low (sometimes, horrifyingly low). Our English degrees equip us with a long list of skills that are transferable to a variety of careers. But if we don't see the immense value in our own degrees, why should the average employer?"

More than one pet owner has found themselves driving home, inquiring of the windshield how much of what they just paid is going to line their veterinarian’s pockets. The truth is that although the average salary for a veterinarian is strong (somewhere between the 80 thand 90 th percentile of annual salaries in the United States, depending upon the number of years the veterinarian has in the field), their expenses can be steep, and those expenses can linger for years. What is the Average Salary of a Veterinarian? Dr. Michael Dicks, director of the veterinary economics division at the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), said that new graduates from veterinary school often face drastically different financial futures, depending upon where they went to school, and whether they had to shoulder the cost themselves. As is the case with undergraduate programs, students going to veterinary school in the state where they live will pay less than those who do so out of state. Dicks said there are some state programs that students can apply for that will make up the difference. Lucky students may have scholarships or family members willing to pay for school and expenses on their behalf."

People tend to have a general concept of how one becomes a human doctor, but even I was unclear about veterinary school when I began my career as a kennel technician so many moons ago. So, for all of you with a dream to become an animal doctor (or a niece/friend/neighbor with one), this blog is for you! I have broken down the process step-by-step, so you will know more about the person on the other side of the exam table next time you bring your pet in to see us. Basic Formula: 1) High school diploma, 2) Undergraduate College degree, GRE test, Fulfill Vet School Requirements for admission (4+ years), 5) Veterinary school (4 years), 6) Internship (optional unless you are planning on specializing, 1 year), 7) Residency (optional for general practice doctors, required for specialists, 3-4 years)High School: If you are struck by the veterinary bug early, there are a few things you can do before college to help ensure your chances at getting into the veterinary school of your choice. 1) Maintain good grades and get as many AP science classes out of the way as you can, as this will optimize your time spent in college. Chemistry, physics, and biology are all requirements for veterinary schools across the board. 2) Get some work experience by applying to work at a veterinary hospital over the summers or on weekends as a kennel technician. Dr. Atwater, Dr. Nurre, and Dr. Christofferson all started out this way, I can remember Dr. Atwater once telling me you could “eat off of” the kennel floors he scrubbed because they were so immaculate. Kennel technician duties vary from animal restraint, cleaning and restocking duties, to caring for the hospital’s boarders."

It was about 88 degrees Fahrenheit with about 40% humidity as best as I can guess. We did some short agility sequences (3-4 obstacles) and then my second cousins took turns throwing her Chuckit squirrel for her for about 15 minutes or so (not very far, they kept throwing it upside down so it'd go a max of 15-20 feet ). She seemed fine at first, but when her panting got a little more rapid than is typical for her I asked her to take a break. Her panting got a little more frantic and she was wobbly in the rear so I hosed her off trying to cool her down, figuring it was heat stroke. She stayed wobbly (mostly in the rear) and wanted to keep trying to get the girls to play with her, much less responsive than usual to me. She recovered gradually over the course of about 30 minutes. I'm aware of BCC, but not familiar enough to be able to differentiate it between possible symptoms of heat stroke... this isn't the first time this has happened with her, but it was never quite this severe (usually I catch the slightly \"\"frantic\"\" panting and have her lay down until her breathing returns to normal). Would heat stroke / hyperthermia be able to recover that quickly without veterinary intervention, or am I probably looking more at BCC?"

If it’s wet and cold, he’s fine. If it’s hot and dry, he probably has a fever. Simple, right? There’s nothing wrong with using this old-time gauge, but sometimes it’s more complicated than that, and the nose test alone is often not enough for an accurate assessment of the presence of fever. What Is a Dog’s Normal Temperature? Unlike people, who have a normal temperature range of 97.6–99.6F degrees, your dog’s normal temperature is higher: the range is between 99.5 and 102.5F degrees.

"text": "Answer by Summer Maple Confidence votes 37.5KIn the United States, you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college then apply to vet school. You must graduate from vet school, which is four years of graduate level study, with a DVM or VMD (depending upon the vet school, the degrees are equivalent). Once in practice, to maintain a license you must complete ongoing continuing education throughout your professional career. In the United States you must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or Veterinary Medical Doctor (VMD) degree from one of 28 accredited colleges of veterinary medicine in the country. Admission to these colleges is very competitive, and you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college before you can apply to a vet school. Outside of the United States you must complete 6-8 years of post-secondary education; the exact structure of the curriculum, the time frame and the name of the degree vary slightly depending upon the educational system of the individual country. Regardless of the school you attend, you will be studying subjects ranging from communication skills to epidemiology to anatomy and physiology to molecular biology. Also, a veterinarian is typically trained on all major domestic species in their country of training; a veterinarian who wants to specialize further into either minor or non-domesticated species (such as reptiles or birds) would likely continue with additional training in that field after graduation from vet school. , I am currently a Veterinarian. In some areas, the standards differ, but here is what I personally had to do to become one."

"text": "\"The following are real life cases of Heat Stroke in Dogs that have been treated by Dr. Mike Richards, DVM. Heat Stroke - Signs and Prevention Heat Stroke Death or Addison's Disease Heat Stroke - Signs and Prevention Question: I am a guide dog user who lives in Florida. As you know it gets extremely hot and humid here during the summer months. If I am working my dog outside during the day (which I do not really like doing but have to occasionally) what should I watch for in order to prevent heat stroke and are there any precautions, i.e. water that I can take? Answer: I will try to research this topic in case there is additional information that might help. It is important to make sure that Mia stays hydrated, so bringing along water is a good idea. To allow access to cold water it can be helpful to freeze water in a bottle and to give it in small amounts as it melts. This works pretty well using the plastic bottles that water comes in except that it often deforms them enough that they won't stand up on their own, making it necessary to keep them in some kind of holder or to replace the top carefully with each use. Signs of heat exhaustion include:heavy pantinghyperventilation (deep breathing)increased salivation early then dry gums as the heat prostration progressesweaknessconfusion or inattentionvomiting or diarrheasometimes bleeding As the condition progresses towards heat prostration or heat stroke there may be:obvious paleness or graying to the gums ( I realize this sign won't work for you but you might keep it in mind to ask someone about, just in case)shallowing of the breathing effortsslowed or absent breathing effortsvomiting and diarrhea that may be bloodyseizures or coma Temperatures above 105 degrees Fahrenheit are dangerous, so you can check if you have a way of taking her temperature (most people don't carry around thermometers with them and the physical signs are usually enough to go by). If you are familiar with how quickly and deeply Mia breathes when she is comfortable and after a walk on a cool day you can use that information to judge when she is breathing harder than normal on a hot day."

This is an entry level-position in a veterinary facility and training is generally done on the job. Because most training is done on the job it is often very cursory and lacks the depth and breadth of a formal education. Veterinary assistants are generally taught the basic how-to but not the why or when you would do something different. They tend to do basic tasks such as animal restraint, basic care and sanitation, assist in patient monitoring, prepare instruments for use in surgeries or daily treatments, they may give medication as prescribed by the veterinarian, collect biological samples and perform basic diagnostic tests like reading fecals. Veterinary assistants are generally not the equivalent of a formally educated veterinary technician."

Veterinary technicians can do pretty much anything except prescribe meds and perform surgery. The daily things are wound care, vaccinations and dewormings, restraining animals for procedures, caring for hospitalized animals, taking histories and doing paperwork, drawing blood and doing lab work, assisting surgery....the list is very long. Yes, there is blood. The pay generally isn't that great in relation to the knowledge and ability needed to do the work. If you do it, do it because you love it. You won't ever get rich.

This page is here to provide you with the facts about TPLO and TTA that you won't find at TPLO / TTA surgeons' websites or hear from them at their offices. Sometimes surgical procedures become more popular with surgeons than comparative results and risks justify. This is the case with TPLO, TTA, which are useful procedures in some rare circumstances, but are not the best treatment choice for most dogs with ligament injuries. There are some honest vets who have been caught up in a faddish enthusiasm for these aggressive bone alterations as ligament injury treatment. There are other surgeons who are simply profiteering. They are making fortunes selling these hugely profitable procedures to people who love their dogs and accept vets' recommendations too trustingly. The information here is current and accurate. There are no Class I or Class II research studies supporting claims that there is any advantage to TPLO or TTA over other treatment choices. After talking with a TPLO or TTA surgeon, you may have the impression that these surgeries are universally believed to be the best possible treatment choice for all dogs with ligament injuries."

Most school districts have not yet passed salary increases, but their school boards have started or will soon begin reviewing salary recommendations made by district human resources personnel. A nationwide shortage of teachers in recent years has made the teacher recruiting business more competitive by driving up starting salaries, signing bonuses, benefits packages and more. Educators say the teacher shortage, ironically, is helping others, especially school boards, realize the true value -- in terms of pay for services rendered -- of teachers, who have traditionally made less than most professionals who require college degrees and continuing education. \"\" I don't think we're even close to paying these teachers what they're worth. I've never met a good teacher who is overpaid,\"\" said W. A. Weber, chair of the University of Houston College of Education. \"\" Only now are school districts getting the drift because of incredible shortages of school teachers and administrators. \"\" Related Stories Alvin school board OKs 5-cent tax hike Conroe schools eye tax rate hike Cy-Fair ISD trustees lower tax rate for 2nd year in a row Alvin ISD board to consider lower tax rate County proposes to raise salaries He said the basic laws of supply and demand have created a sellers' market for recent college graduates with teacher certification. \"\" With the huge teacher shortages all over the metro area, kids who come out of college pretty much have a choice where they want to go,\"\" he said. While the pay might initially make a school district attractive to recent graduates, districts must provide much more in terms of facilities, training, mentoring and communications to keep them there. \"\""

The Big Bang Theory has also been nominated for, and won, several awards throughout it’s tenure, including People’s Choice awards, a Golden Globe, and several primetime Emmy awards.

Fortunately, we have applied our rigorous methodology to the latest education data to rank the best colleges in California, including the top four-year and two-year schools. Best Colleges in California California’s four-year institutions include some of the world’s most prestigious public and private schools, with highly-competitive admissions processes reflecting said reputations. Freshmen impaction, or setting caps on the number of students a school can admit, is a real concern for public universities in California, including campuses within the California State University (CSU) system. State schools make clear that restricted openings for certain majors can ultimately influence admission timeframes and limit availability to students living in certain regions.

"text": "\" (Photos.com/Jupiterimages)On a recent routine visit, a purveyor walked into Jesse Cool's Flea St. Cafe in Menlo Park, Calif., and told the restaurateur he was thinking of leaving a job on his family's organic farm to attend cooking school. Cool, a 33-year industry veteran, gently advised him first to see if he could live on a fraction of his wages for three years. \"\" I told him he had two choices, that he could go to school and spend a lot and learn a lot, or that instead of going to school, he could spend three years getting paid low wages and just work in kitchens and learn,\"\" Cool says. \"\" If you walk into a kitchen and say, 'I want to spend six months here as a prep cook. I want to work hard and learn,' those of us in the business are grateful. \"\" Cool, who also runs the Cool Cafe at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, and the JZ Cool Eatery & Wine Bar, also in Menlo Park, adds that if you're investing the time to learn and if you choose well, you can learn the basics by working. To school, or not to school, is no small debate in the industry. \"\" If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, you kind of have to go to school, but cooking is a trade. I'm sorry, but it's a blue-collar job,\"\" says Dory Ford, executive chef for the Portola Restaurant and Cafe and in-house catering service at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. According to a survey of 1,730 kitchen professionals released in May by the industry insider website Star Chefs.com, the average starting salary for a line cook in 2007 was $13.07 an hour, while the average salary for an executive chef was $77,611."

Folks in the restaurant industry have long debated whether culinary school is worth the high tuition rates for an industry in which entry-level jobs are notoriously low-paying. So what are culinary students getting for their money these days? Here's a look at 11 programs across America, including tuition rates, programs offered, duration, and notable alumni. To keep things simple, this list looks only at each school's basic culinary arts programs — not pastry, accelerated courses or bachelor's degrees in management or any other specialty. Johnson & Wales [Photo: Facebook]Johnson & Wales University: $54,312-$108,624Located in Providence, Rhode Island, Johnson & Wales offers undergraduates the option of a two-year associate degree or a four-year bachelor of science degree. For the 2013-2014 academic year, tuition is set at $27,156 per year, or $502 per credit. At the associate degree level, students can select either culinary arts or baking & pastry arts, while the bachelor degree level offers five different programs (not all of which are available at the university's satellite campuses in Miami, Denver and Charlotte). Alumni include Emeril Lagasse, Sean Brock and more.

They are the degree you receive for completing 4 years (Well, some people finish in less time, others in a greater amount of time). Master's and Doctorates are graduate degrees, since you have to be in a graduate program to earn one. You need a bachelor's to enter a graduate program. A master's program is usually completed in 2-3 years, and a Ph D takes about 5-6 years."

If you want to work in certain professions, you will need a master's degree or doctorate to get licensed. Employees who hire people in some other occupations, won't even look at a candidate who doesn't have a graduate degree although one isn't technically required to do the job. There are other careers for which an advanced degree isn't a necessity, but it can be helpful to those who choose to earn one. Regardless of why you are considering going to grad school—whether it is required to get a job in the field you want to enter or not— you have a big decision to make.

Past that, going for a masters, doctorate, professional, etc. is a graduate.♥Tango This♥ · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Undergraduates, or Undergrads are those persuing a degree lower than a Masters degree. For example, when you first go to college, you will be an undergraduate. Once you obtain your Bachelors degree (usually takes 4 years), you can take more classes to get your Masters degree (usually takes another 2 years). When you are trying to get your Masters degree you are called a Graduate student. While you persue any other degree after your Masters (such as a Ph D, which usually takes another 2 years), you are called a Post-Graduate. Hope this helps. C C · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment The difference between undergraduate and graduate programs is that an undergrad student has no Associate's or Bachelor's degree yet. Once that student has a degree of the like, and goes on to a Master's Degree program they are considered a Graduate Student."

Deciding to seek one or more graduate degrees is a major commitment of time and money; a decision not to take lightly. You will face several years of intense work and research — a much more demanding course load than in your undergraduate program. Before deciding your next step, you should take the time to honestly answer these five questions. Five Key Questions to Answer Before You Apply to Graduate School1. Why are you considering a graduate degree? Career goals: If you are seeking a graduate degree to achieve a career goal, you first need to have a clear understanding of what you want to do with your career — and how earning a graduate degree will help you reach that goal. If you have any doubt at all about your professional goals, consider putting off graduate school and, instead, spend some time working on some self-assessment and career planning. If you go to graduate school without a clear goal, you will probably end up wasting both time and money."

Curriculum Differences Between Degree Levels But the main difference between the two is the depth of your curriculum.

The primary aim of this profession is to provide patients with a means of accessing FDA approved drugs and other general supplements and medication. The following paragraphs shed more light on how to become a pharmacist. Qualifications in Pharmacy: Traditionally, a Bachelor of Pharmacy was considered the first-professional degree for pharmacy practice. However now all aspiring pharmacists are required to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) through a doctoral program accredited by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP).

It is a doctoral level degree, which means it is equivalent to a Ph D or MD degree and it means generally 4 years of graduate school after you have got a bachelor's degree. Of course, you also have to have good enough grades to be admitted into the school. DVM is harder to get than an MD and it also means making less money because most people who have pets and get them treated are not rich people. Sometimes they are unable to pay the bill, and generally there is no insurance company to pay the bill and no government programs like Medicare or Medicaid. Therefore you really have to like animals to become a DVM. If you do, you will go to work everyday with a smile on your face."

More than one pet owner has found themselves driving home, inquiring of the windshield how much of what they just paid is going to line their veterinarian’s pockets. The truth is that although the average salary for a veterinarian is strong (somewhere between the 80 thand 90 th percentile of annual salaries in the United States, depending upon the number of years the veterinarian has in the field), their expenses can be steep, and those expenses can linger for years. What is the Average Salary of a Veterinarian? Dr. Michael Dicks, director of the veterinary economics division at the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), said that new graduates from veterinary school often face drastically different financial futures, depending upon where they went to school, and whether they had to shoulder the cost themselves. As is the case with undergraduate programs, students going to veterinary school in the state where they live will pay less than those who do so out of state.

Once in practice, to maintain a license you must complete ongoing continuing education throughout your professional career.

"text": "\"What Education or Training Do You Need to Become a Veterinarian?by Shane Hall; Updated September 26, 2017If you love animals and desire to work with them and their owners, a career as a veterinarian may bring a lifetime of rewarding work. Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases affecting animals large and small. A desire to work with animals, however, is only the beginning of what you need if you wish to become a veterinarian. A career in animal medicine requires years of education and training. Education Becoming a veterinarian requires a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D. V. M.) degree from an accredited veterinary medical school. The American Veterinary Medical Association, or AVMA, reports that there are 28 veterinary schools that meet accreditation standards set by the association’s education council. Before entering veterinary school, however, you should complete a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that all veterinary schools require up to 90 undergraduate college hours for admission, but that some may not require a degree. However, because of the competitive nature of veterinary school admissions, applicants to veterinary school who do not have a bachelor’s degree place themselves at a disadvantage in gaining admission. Features To prepare for admission to veterinary school, you should pursue extensive training in the sciences at the undergraduate level."

"text": "Veterinarian Job Descriptionby Tanja Z | 4 comments What is a veterinarian’s job description? A veterinarian is a licensed health professional who is trained to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries in animals. They care for companion animals (e.g. dogs, cats, birds), horses, production animals (e.g. cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry), aquatic, and/or zoo animals. Not only are veterinarians responsible for the health and welfare of treated animals, they are also indirectly responsible for the health of animal owners by preventing any animal diseases from spreading to humans. The majority of veterinarians work in animal clinics and animal hospitals. Veterinarian Job Description Veterinarians provide healthcare treatment to animals, just as medical doctors do to human beings. Primarily, veterinarians administer medication, vaccinations, perform surgeries, and provide general health care for companion animals. Unlike a general practitioner, veterinarians must rely strictly on signs and symptoms of the treated animal (as animals are unable to talk). By combining personal observations, the owner’s perspective, and pertinent diagnostic tests such as blood tests, x-rays, and CT-scans, veterinarians aim to effectively treat and prevent diseases in animals. Veterinarians also have the authority to carry out euthanasia, which is the painless killing of a patient (animal, in this case) from an incurable disease."

"text": "Veterinarians - What They Do Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases and dysfunctions of animals. Specifically, they care for the health of pets, livestock, and animals in zoos, racetracks, and laboratories. Some veterinarians use their skills to protect humans against diseases carried by animals and conduct clinical research on human and animal health problems. Others work in basic research, broadening our knowledge of animals and medical science, and in applied research, developing new ways to use knowledge. Most veterinarians diagnose animal health problems, vaccinate against diseases, medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses, treat and dress wounds, set fractures, perform surgery, and advise owners about animal feeding, behavior, and breeding. According to the American Medical Veterinary Association, 77 percent of veterinarians who work in private medical practices treat pets. These practitioners usually care for dogs and cats but also treat birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, and other animals that can be kept as pets. About 16 percent of veterinarians work in private mixed and food animal practices, where they see pigs, goats, cattle, sheep, and some wild animals in addition to farm animals. A small proportion of private-practice veterinarians, about 6 percent, work exclusively with horses. Veterinarians who work with food animals or horses usually drive to farms or ranches to provide veterinary services for herds or individual animals."

"text": "Tweet What Does it Mean to Study Veterinary Science? If you are a patient and caring person who loves animals and feels comfortable around them, you may want to explore the educational and career options within the field of veterinary science and animal care. Veterinary scientists, technologists and technicians, as well as obedience trainers and even pet groomers, play a vital role in the maintenance and healthcare of pets, zoo animals, and livestock. In addition to meeting the healthcare and maintenance needs of animals, some individuals working in veterinary science use their skills to research diseases that also affect humans. For example, veterinary research played a significant role in conquering diseases such as yellow fever and malaria, and in understanding human heart disease, organ transplant procedures, and a variety of drug therapies. Perhaps the most important thing to take into consideration is how you feel about animals. Though the field of animal care is exciting and rewarding, working with animals requires patience, compassion, flexibility and a lack of squeamishness. Appreciating and loving animals is not enough. You must be genuinely invested in and intrigued by animals' behaviors, physical systems, and habits. Animal specialists must not only promote the health and maintenance of the animals under their care, but they must also be able to lift and restrain animals, and risk exposure to sick or angry ones."

Scott Nolen Posted May 27, 2015Starting salaries for new veterinarians have begun to recover from the economic downturn of 2008 through 2012, according to the recently released AVMA 2015 Report on Veterinary Debt and Income. Mean starting salary was approximately $52,000 for students at U. S. veterinary colleges who had accepted a full-time position (including positions in private and public practice, internships, residencies, and advanced education training) prior to graduation in 2014. When only those students who had accepted a full-time position in private practice were considered, mean starting salary was nearly $67,000. The news isn’t all positive, however. According to the report, mean educational debt for new veterinarians has grown by approximately $6,854 annually over the past 10 years and stood at an estimated $135,000 in 2014, more than twice the mean starting annual income for new private practice veterinarians. Published this May, the report is an in-depth analysis by the AVMA Veterinary Economics Division of data from the Association’s Senior Survey, Employment Survey, and Veterinary Compensation Survey. It is the most comprehensive study on debt and income of both new and current veterinarians to date, incorporating data from 2001 through 2014 to identify short- and long-term economic trends in the U. S. veterinary profession. “Descriptive statistics may present an interesting picture of the veterinary markets but offer little guidance in how to improve them,” observed Michael Dicks, Ph D, Veterinary Economics Division director. “ The AVMA Report on Veterinary Debt and Income provides the direction and magnitude of change for key variables such as mean starting salary and debt and the factors that affect them. “To improve the economics of the profession will require understanding how these factors affect key variables and developing strategies to affect those factors."

Find out exactly what you need to do to become a vet, including education and licensing requirements, but first see what characteristics will help make you successful in this occupation.01 Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Veterinarian?•••To work in this occupation, you must have a strong aptitude for science, since your training will consist mostly of coursework in this subject. If science isn't your strength, you can still find a career working with animals if that is what you desire, but it will have to be in another occupation. In addition to scientific aptitude, there are other qualities, know as soft skills, you must have. Aside from the obvious—compassion, sensitivity to others' feelings and a love of animals—you must have very good listening, speaking, critical thinking and problem solving skills. You must possess the ability to reason, meaning that you have to be able to draw conclusions by piecing together strands of information that may not seem related to one another.02 Required Education Aspiring veterinarians must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, abbreviated as either DVM or VMD. This is a four year program, that usually, but not necessarily, follows first earning a bachelor's degree. What can you expect to study in vet school? Your coursework will probably include the following: Gross Anatomy Animal Health and Disease Veterinary Practice Parasitology Radiology Pharmacology Food Animal Medicine Veterinary Physiology Animal Behavior Ophthalmology All DVM and VMD students also receive clinical training as part of their education."

The classes one must take to get into medical school are the same no matter which kind of physician one wants to be. Generally, the premed requirements consist of a year of biology, a year of inorganic chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, calculus, English, and a year of physics.

If you know that you have a particular interest in Pediatrics, you might consider trying to volunteer with a clinic or hospital and finding an pediatrician who would serve as your mentor to see if it's really what you want to do and to show your interest in the field.

Most people stop seeing one by the time they are 15 or 16 simply because they don't generally need yearly checkups at that point and can usually see the doctor of the same sex parent. Some adult doctors do not allow this though. You would have to ask. If a child has a disease or is in need of constant medical attention because of an injury or there is no one except a pediatrician available, then the child would have no one else to see and would then go to a pediatrician until they are at least 18 if not 21 dependent on circumstances and location. I stopped seeing one around 13 or so but then saw specialists for my weight. A friend who was 17 at the time had her appendix removed at Nemour's Children's Hospital.

A pediatrician is a specialty physician who provides health care for patients from infancy through teenage or young adulthood. A pediatrician must complete undergraduate education and medical school, leading to a Doctor of Medicine degree. Alternately, a student can receive parallel training in osteopathic college, culminating in a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. After medical or osteopathic school, you need specialty training to qualify as a pediatrician. Pre-Medical Requirements A medical school applicant needs a bachelor's degree which includes the required prerequisites -- normally math, English and an array of science classes. No particular major is necessary if you have taken the necessary courses. At Georgetown University, for example, pre-med students can declare any major, but they must complete a year each of general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology and physics, all with lab sections. They also normally take one semester of statistics and one of calculus. Medical School A four-year program leading to the M. D. or D. O. degree is your first step to qualifying as a pediatrician."

Pediatricians are medical doctors or osteopathic doctors who specialize in treating children. They perform many of the same duties as a physician, including reviewing medical histories, ordering diagnostic tests if needed and recommending treatment plans. However, they are specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions that are common or unique to infants, children and teens.

"text": "\"It seems that everyone, including the lady at the grocery store, can spot autism when they see it. But of course, it's not that simple. Autism is not just a collection of personality traits and personal interests, and not everyone who prefers solitude and comic books is autistic. In fact, autism is a serious developmental disability, and diagnosis requires testing, evaluation, and an in-depth understanding of the disorder. Why Your Own Pediatrician May Not Be Able to Help in Diagnosing Autism In theory, your own pediatrician should be able to pinpoint red flag behaviors or challenges that suggest autism. But your own pediatrician may only see your child once a year for a well-child checkup, or under difficult circumstances when your child is sick. And even now, with so much awareness of autism spectrum disorders, pediatricians may or may not screen for developmental delays. What's more, pediatricians know that young children develop at very different speeds for a variety of reasons. Most children really do catch up to their typically developing peers. So many pediatricians tend to take a conservation \"\"wait and see\"\" approach."

"text": "How Long Does it Take to Become a Pediatrician Whether or not you’ve really looked into the prospect of becoming a pediatrician, you probably already know that medical school is quite the endeavor. The exact amount of time that it takes to become a pediatrician depends on many different factors, but for most students, eight years of schooling after high school followed by a residency that lasts at least three years is the norm. High School In order to become a pediatrician, it is important that you graduate from high school so that you can attend the college or university of your choice. Though there are some high schools that will allow you the opportunity to graduate a semester or perhaps even a year early, it is generally best to attend all four years and to be sure that your courses and electives are all geared toward healthcare. Courses in anatomy, biology, physics, chemistry and more can all be a serious boon, and it’s important to take the time to learn as much as you can. This way, your college experience will be a simpler and easier one. College In order to be accepted into medical school, you will need to obtain a four-year degree in a medical field from an accredited college or university. A bachelor’s degree is needed, whether you choose a BS in Physics, Biology, or perhaps even Chemistry. Remember that each of these degrees will take the same amount of time to obtain, and you can often customize your courses into a “pre-med” program that will allow you to get the most for your money. In general, students cannot graduate early from these programs, but some exceptions do apply for those who are unusually gifted."

"text": "For Healthcare Professionals Healthcare Compensation Training & Education How Many Years of School Does It Take to Become a Pediatrician? Becoming a Pediatrician By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Blend Images/Jon Feingersh / Getty Images If you are interested in becoming a pediatrician, you may wonder how long it will take to complete all of the training until you can practice medicine. The quick answer is that after graduating from high school, a student who wants to become a pediatrician traditionally must complete 11 years school and training before they can practice pediatric medicine independently as a doctor. But there are different paths you can take and additional opportunities to spend more years specializing in one area of the field. Years of School to Become a Pediatrician First, let's look at the formal schooling part of the 11 years. Becoming a pediatrician classically includes: Four years of college Four years of medical school This is the traditional path, but there are alternative paths to becoming a pediatrician. These numbers don't include an extra year or two to finish college or medical school if you want to spread out your studies or you have a gap year between them. At the end of medical school, you can receive your medical degree and apply for a medical license. But your training doesn't stop there, that's just the first step. Accelerated Premedical-Medical Programs In addition to simply graduating from college after four years and then going to medical school for another four years, it is possible to get accepted into accelerated programs that let you complete your training early."

These doctors typically are trained in all areas of medicine and have the ability to diagnose and treat a wide variety of symptoms and problems. They also provide preventative care, which includes routine checkups, immunizations, screening tests, health risk assessments and suggestions on how to make healthy lifestyle choices. Some of these doctors even deliver babies. When a family practice physician identifies a major health issue, he or she usually refers his patient to a specialist. Ad The typical educational background and training for a family practice physician includes an undergraduate degree and M. D. (Doctor of Medicine) or D. O.

"text": "Tweet What Does it Mean to Study Dental Assisting? Dental hygiene is the healthy maintenance of the mouth, teeth and gums via brushing, flossing and periodic deep cleaning. A dental hygienist typically works in a dentist's office and assists patients with proper dental hygiene. In addition to cleaning and examining the mouth, teeth, and gums, dental hygienists are often responsible for a patient's mouth after the dentist puts in a filling -- polishing the filling and scraping cement from the tooth that has been filled. Because small tools are used to clean and examine teeth, dental hygienists must work well with their hands. A dental assistant, on the other hand, usually works in the front of the dentist's office, greeting patients, making appointments and keeping records. They may perform some basic tasks in the exam room, but their main job is dealing with the administrative component of dentistry. If you're interested in helping others achieve optimal dental health, then dental hygiene is a career path you should definitely consider. With any program in this field, you should be able to help others while performing in a rewarding career. Types of Dental Assisting Degrees Before you become a dental hygiene or dental assisting major, it's important to understand the different educational paths available and where they may lead."

Speech Therapists work with all sorts of patients who have speech and swallowing problems. Because so much of speech is related to the tongue and how the tongue moves Speech Therapists also can tackle swallowing issues in patients (because the tongue helps you swallow too! ) If you were working as a Speech Therapist you would be responsible for diagnosing, treating and monitoring the speech/swallowing problems of your patients. Typically this means you would be doing very minor physical examinations (looking in the patient's mouth perhaps), evaluating how they speak now and coming up with a course of treatment for them.

You, as a consumer of mental health services, want an overview, however, of these types of approaches to therapy and practice. Luckily, you’ve turned to the right place. In this document, I will review the main schools of theory and the techniques they utilize in practice. Granted, such an overview is going to miss a lot and generalize even more (something my professors back in graduate school would kill me for! ), but I feel information is important. I will, therefore, try and be mildly objective and unbiased in my presentation, when possible. Be aware that any therapist, no matter what their background or training actually is, can say they practice or subscribe to any of the below major schools of thought in psychology; a therapist’s educational degree is no guarantee of any one theoretical or treatment orientation. Four schools of theory and therapy will be examined here: Psychodynamic (and psychoanalytic); Cognitive-behavioral (and behavioral); Humanistic (and existential); and Eclectic."

Most states require physical therapists to have at least a master’s degree to practice, but many who are looking to enter the profession are pursuing Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degrees, and in the future this may be the minimum required degree. DPT programs last three years, and applicants must have a bachelor’s degree.

Applicants may also be required to show documentation of health care work or volunteer experience. DPT programs focus on the science behind physical therapy as well as the methods, techniques, and equipment used in the profession. Students learn about the cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems, and about the types of therapies used to treat problems in each system. They also learn how to examine and diagnose patients and design a plan of care. Clinical experiences are a big part of DPT programs. Students will observe physical therapists at work in clinical settings and take part in clinical seminars to discuss connections between theory and practice."

This week’s question comes from a reader of the blog who wanted to know what advice I have to offer the aspiring Dr. Ruths of the world. I am currently a psychology student and I am looking into studying sex and relationship therapy for a career, which lead me to find your website on the Psychology of Human Sexuality. I was wondering if you have any advice for me in regards to graduate school or internship opportunities in the field. This is a fantastic question that I’m sure is of interest to many readers of this blog. As a starting point, I would like to clarify that the term “sex therapist” does not mean just one thing. People who identify as sex therapists can have extremely different training and credentials. Nobody actually gets a college degree in “sex therapy”; rather, people get a degree in a broader field and then subspecialize in sex therapy. For example, some sex therapists are psychiatrists with medical degrees, others are psychologists with doctoral degrees, and others have Master’s degrees in counseling, marital and family therapy, or social work."

The vehicle I’m talking about is the human body—the most important vehicle of all and the one we use every single day. With all that we put our bodies through, it should come as no surprise that every once in a while, they need some maintenance, just like your car needs the occasional check-up. Physical therapists are here for just that reason. They are the mechanics of the body. And just like auto mechanics who attend programs that teach them to fix cars, physical therapists enroll in physical therapy programs that teach them to fix bodies. Sounds cool, right?"

"text": "\"Do I Need a Degree to Start a Daycare?by Wanda Thibodeaux; Updated September 26, 2017With many parents having to work in order to meet expenses, daycare is a lucrative business that is always in demand. As of 2011, most daycare centers go well beyond simple babysitting services -- many employ licensed teachers and operate more like preschools. For this reason, you ideally should have a degree if you want to start a daycare business. General Stipulation States regulate daycare centers individually, so each has different requirements for daycare workers. These regulations are listed on the Daycare.com website (see Resources). However, in most states, daycare directors typically receive at least a bachelor's degree in child development or education. States also permit degrees in other child-related fields such as social work, psychology, family studies or education administration. States that don't require a college degree still typically require daycare workers to have a GED or high school diploma, or a minimum amount of college coursework or training related to child care as well as experience in the field. You may start a daycare without a college degree in some regions, but this usually means you have to hire a director. This isn't cost-effective in many cases."

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I think your director is right. There should be more like her running daycares. Too many parents rely on baby equipment to entertain/babysit their kids. Although I wouldn't say 20 minutes is excessive, much more than that would be. Besides you guys are being paid to take care of the babies, not to leave them in swings and bouncers all day. ** If you feel your job doesn't pay you enough then quit. The fact your job doesn't pay you enough does not mean that you should be able to leave babies languishing in a swing or bouncer for long periods of time."

The major difference is that nonprofit daycares are eligible for grants and other funding, and they are exempt from state and federal taxes. Nonprofit daycares are also required to be governed by a board of directors made up mostly of parents. All of the money collected from parents and other sources must be invested in the organization and the service it provides to children and families. Start a nonprofit daycare by obtaining funding and making sure you comply with all of the guidelines set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Steps1 Create a nonprofit corporate entity. In this case, you will create a corporation that provides childcare services. File nonprofit articles of incorporation with the state in which you are establishing the daycare. You can get the appropriate forms and guidelines from the Secretary of State. Include the name and address of your nonprofit daycare in the articles of incorporation, as well as the purpose of starting it."

"text": "Education & Reference Preschool How much do preschool teachers get paid a year?2 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In California the average for a preschool teacher is about 30,000, usually in a well paying district. It varies from district to district and state to state. If this was a low paying district in California then salary would be 22,000. Source (s): Live in California Jesus is our Savior · 9 years ago1 0 Comment If you are in a school district, preschool teachers make pretty good money. My supervisor almost four years ago was making close to 36,000. That is only if you are in a school district. Once you switch to child care center preschool teachers, the pay scale goes from minimum wage to maybe 12 to 13 an hour. Good district jobs go to inside people first and are hard to come by. Most districts are cutting preschool programs due to lack of funding. Source (s): Assistant director (worked for a school district for three years)tndrhrt124 · 9 years ago0 0 Comment In Massachusetts, a preschool teacher in a daycare with minimum qualifications (one early childhood class, 9 months working with kids) can make as little as minimum wage, but it averages around $10/hour."

We’re excited to present this year’s survey results and announce a new partnership between JEMS and EMS Survey Team for the data collection, analysis and processing of this important industry tool. In past surveys, the collectors of the data were also the ones analyzing and summarizing its findings. We developed a revised survey tool, sampling approach and methodology in an effort to achieve a new level of industry engagement and improved accuracy. Additionally, JEMS recruited two new authors involved in EMS system operations and with extensive industry backgrounds and experience to help analyze and summarize the findings. These efforts yielded the highest engagement rate in the history of the survey, with an overall survey response improvement of 245% (n = 1,266) and a salary survey response improvement of 148% (n = 2,186) over the previous year. Everyone involved in this project wishes to thank all participants for their time and effort in completing the survey; these efforts have given us the ability to benchmark and compare important pragmatic variables at a much higher rate of accuracy. We hope respondents found it easier, more streamlined and less time consuming to participate than previous years. EMS Survey Team automates collection, analysis, reporting and benchmarking of patient experience survey data for EMS agencies. Monthly and quarterly reports help EMS leaders improve care with individual call analysis, performance metrics by medic, scoring office staff interactions, benchmarking to support funding requests and maintain/expand relationships with governing bodies."

Child care is the action or skill of looking after children by a day-care center, nannies, babysitter, teachers or other providers. Child care is a broad topic that covers a wide spectrum of professionals, institutions, contexts, activities, social and cultural conventions. Early child care is an equally important and often overlooked component of child development. Child care providers can be our children's first teachers, and therefore play an integral role in our systems of early childhood education. Quality care from a young age can have a huge impact on the future successes of children. Usually children are taken care of by their parents, legal guardians or siblings. Cross-culturally, children caring for children is very common. This informal care includes verbal direction and other explicit training regarding the child's behavior, and is often as simple as \"\"keeping an eye out\"\" for younger siblings.

"text": "An ultrasound technician is a medical assistant or diagnostic sonography professional who maintains and operates ultrasound machinery in a hospital, doctor’s office, or health clinic. Ultrasound machines are used for both diagnostic and treatment of various medical conditions, as well as for preventive treatment. The main duty of an ultrasound tech is to make the physician or radiologist’s job easier by doing preparatory work or capturing images before the doctor comes in to see a patient. Ultrasound technician is a general term for someone working in the field of diagnostic medical sonography, which includes any use of sound wave-based imaging technology in a medical context. Some of the main tasks you’ll be expected to do in most ultrasound tech employment situations are: Patient Preparation: Escorting patients into the treatment room, describing the process of “taking an ultrasound,” taking images, and calling the doctor in when the preparations are finished. Results Analysis: Determining whether the image is of usable quality, and taking more if not. Summarizing the number, type, and content of images that have been taken, and keeping a record of the information for the doctor or radiologist. Equipment Operations and Maintenance: Preparing the ultrasound machine for each use, and cleaning and recalibrating it afterward. A professional technician will be needed to fix actual problems within the machine, but ultrasound techs do routine maintenance to assure that the machine is functioning properly and ready to use when a patient arrives. Record Keeping: Write down the details of each patient’s visit, from the type of images taken to their content and the diagnosis or treatment that was suggested or given."

"text": "Qualities of Diagnostic Medical Sonographer In the field of healthcare, an ultrasound technician (also known as a diagnostic medical sonographer) is an expert in using sonographic equipment designed to capture images of a patient’s internal anatomy. These images are what doctors primarily use as basis for their diagnosis whenever a patient is suspected of any illness or health condition. Like most careers in the medical field, sonographers are pretty much in demand these days, especially since ultrasound is being considered by many as a viable option over invasive procedures or radiation-based imaging. In addition to this, the demand for this imaging technology will be increased by the growing population of the elderly. In order to become successful in this career, there are certain qualities and skills that you should have. First and foremost is effective communication skills – this is important because of the fact that you will be spending a lot of time explaining imaging procedures to patients. Your manner of explanation will be critical in helping patients understand what they are about to go through and in making them feel at ease throughout the imaging process. You should also be understanding and considerate with patients who go through the imaging process since there are those that are going through a difficult situation because of their medical condition. The ultrasound technician career is a very technical one because among your primary duties involve the use of imaging equipment. Besides having technical skills to operate sophisticated imaging equipment, it is very important that you are able to pay close attention to detail and follow instructions precisely so that you will be able to come up with the images required in order to help doctors properly diagnose and treat patients."

"text": "Home »Career Paths »Compare Careers How to Become a Cardiac Sonographer By Beth Greenwood; Updated July 05, 2017Theo Heimann/Getty Images News/Getty Images Cardiac sonographers, also called cardiovascular technologists, perform imaging studies with equipment that uses sound waves to create a picture of the heart. Physicians use these images to diagnose and treat various heart conditions. Cardiac sonographers may work with physicians and surgeons during surgical procedures. In addition, they perform tests called echocardiograms, obtain medical histories from the patient and record their findings in the medical record. You’ll need formal training and a minimum of an associate degree to become a cardiac sonographer. Two Training Paths Cardiac sonographers need formal training, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your first choice is to complete an educational program in diagnostic medical sonography and your second choice is a program in cardiovascular technology. In either case, the BLS notes you will need a minimum of an associate degree. If you are already employed in a related field, such as radiologic technology, you may be able to complete a one-year certificate program to become a cardiac sonographer. The American Society of Echocardiography, or ASE, recommends you choose a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs."

An ultrasound is the name for the resulting image from the sonograph procedure; unlike X-Ray technicians, ultrasound technicians do not use radiation to capture images. Ultrasound technicians collect data, while ultrasound technologists generally have more extensive training and certification. They may also work with physicians to help analyze sonograph data, which can later be used to diagnose and treat patients. Typical costs: A certificate in sonography costs $5,000-$25,000 total and can be completed in one to two years. A one-year certificate in sonography from Mercy Medical Center [ 1] in Canton, OH, costs $13,000. The Mayo Clinic [ 2] in Rochester, MN, offers a 21-month certificate in sonography for $24,000. Associate's degree programs for ultrasound techs cost about $6,000-$40,000 total and may last two to four years. For example, Bunker Hill Community College in Boston offers a two-year associate's degree in sonography which costs $6,800 total for tuition and fees for residents and $16,600 for non-residents. An 18-month associate's degree program from San Joaquin Valley College [ 3] in Bakersfield, CA, costs $38,000 including books and fees."

Background Requirements for Preparation It is very possible to get a receptionist job immediately after high school in environments like small offices or hair salons. In low-stress environments, employers can train you to perform routine office and clerical tasks. Roles in large organizations may have demands too great for someone without experience.

"text": "Health Diseases & Conditions Infectious Diseases What does it mean when you have too many white blood cells?my bloods were tested and i have been asked too return in two weeks to have a retest according to the receptionist i have too many white blood cells, in the dark and worried ! 1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: White blood cells (leukocytes) are an important part of the body's defense against infective organisms and foreign substances. To defend the body adequately, a sufficient number of white blood cells must receive a message that an infective organism or foreign substance has invaded the body, get to where they are needed, and then kill and digest the harmful organism or substance Normally, a person produces about 100 billion white blood cells a day. The number of white blood cells in a given volume of blood is expressed as cells per microliter of blood. The total white blood cell count normally ranges between 4,000 and 11,000 cells per microliter. The proportion of each of the five major types of white blood cells and the total number of cells of each type can also be determined in a given volume of blood. Too few or too many white blood cells indicates a disorder. Leukopenia, a decrease in the number of white blood cells to fewer than 4,000 cells per microliter of blood, makes a person more susceptible to infections. Leukocytosis, an increase in the number of white blood cells to more than 11,000 cells per microliter of blood, may result from the normal response of the body to help fight an infection. However, an increase in the number of white blood cells can also result when the regulation of white blood cell development is disrupted and immature or abnormal cells are released into the blood.half-pint79 · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating Too Many White Blood Cells Source (s):https://shrink.im/a8By0molinar · 2 years ago0 0 Comment I am no doctor but i think that a great number of white blood cells indicates a highly active immune system due to: a. an inflammation b. a recent cold c. an infection Sometimes anxiety or not sleeping well and at the proper time, are factors that may influence your immune system and result to a high number of white blood cells."

Rich Addicks for The New York Times ATLANTA — The college degree is becoming the new high school diploma: the new minimum requirement, albeit an expensive one, for getting even the lowest-level job. Consider the 45-person law firm of Busch, Slipakoff & Schuh here in Atlanta, a place that has seen tremendous growth in the college-educated population. Like other employers across the country, the firm hires only people with a bachelor’s degree, even for jobs that do not require college-level skills. This prerequisite applies to everyone, including the receptionist, paralegals, administrative assistants and file clerks. Even the office “runner” — the in-house courier who, for $10 an hour, ferries documents back and forth between the courthouse and the office — went to a four-year school. “College graduates are just more career-oriented,” said Adam Slipakoff, the firm’s managing partner. “ Going to college means they are making a real commitment to their futures.

Many times they are called upon in courts of law to help the court understand physical evidence and how it relates to the cause of death, time of death, etc. in a criminal trial. During a prospective medical examiners education, he or she can take advantage of ‘elective’ courses, and choose to get more in-depth in topics related to medicine and science to help them further their career and reputation. Medical Examiners Education Those who are interested in becoming a medical examiner should start considering it after high school, preferably before earning a bachelor’s degree in another field. There are degrees offered in related fields, such as forensic science, however a bachelor’s degree in forensic science isn’t necessarily required (though it can be helpful) to land the job of your dreams.

By Sara Ipatenco; Updated September 26, 2017First grade teachers can make a difference in the lives of students. Becoming a first grade teacher is a noble goal that will change the lives of many small children. You can't just head to a local school and fill out an application to become a first grade teacher, however. In addition to a bachelor's degree, you'll also need to take a series of educationally focused courses that prepare you to effectively implement curriculum while also preparing your students to be successful in second grade and beyond. Undergraduate Courses If you know you want to be a teacher when you start college, you can major in elementary education. While you complete your core math, science and literacy requirements, you'll also be able to take elective courses that prepare you to be a teacher, according to Mary C. Clement, author of \"\"So You Want to Be a Teacher?\"\" These courses prepare you to enter a teacher-education program, which is often completed after you receive your undergraduate degree, though some colleges allow you to enter the teacher-education program during your senior year. Teacher-education programs focus specifically on educational practices, classroom-management skills and curriculum implementation. One of your major course requirements will be student teaching, which allows you to practice what you're learning in an actual classroom."

First of all, what and who do you want to teach? The majority of degree-holding early childhood education and elementary teachers graduate from a school of education with a bachelor’s degree in teaching. However, many secondary teachers major in their subject area and complete teaching requirements through special programs or by completing state teacher certification requirements concurrently with their bachelor’s degree.

Getting Admitted into Your Bachelor of Education Program Many schools have a selective admission requirement into the Bachelor of Education program. The most common requirements include the following: Completion of core requirements or a transferable associate’s degree A cumulative grade point average (GPA), usually 2.5A set number of hours of supervised teaching or work with the grade level you wish to teach Completion of prerequisite classes in subjects such as English, U.

Other types of art education jobs might not legally require that you have a degree, but employers might request that you do. School Art Teacher Many people pursue art education degrees to become art teachers in public or private schools. You can work with children ranging from preschoolers to high schoolers as long as you meet state licensing requirements. You'll teach students about art history, different media, art appreciation and the basics of creating art. Some school art teachers also become involved in additional educational pursuits. You might, for example, help students start a literary magazine, start an after-school art club or coach a sports team. Community Art Teacher Some art teachers work in their communities teaching art to day or overnight camp attendees or to children at museums."

Making the Intangible Tangible What an aspiring analyst has to offer to an employer is largely abstract- and creative-thinking skills. These skills are intangible and difficult for recruiters to assess. This is one reason why firms in finance tend to recruit from the same schools decade after decade: rigor of the curriculum and reliably high quality candidates. This is also why those without experience in the investment industry find it hard to get hired for research analyst positions. That is, in the absence of other evidence, firms hire what they think they can depend on — that is, what is tangible: your education and your experience. But do not despair if you have not gone to your country’s top educational institution or if you have no experience! I went to the University of Colorado ( not a top school for finance recruiters) and had very little experience when I was hired as a research analyst at one of the largest and best-known US money managers."
