"text": "\"Paul Pillar The Great Divides of Africa Paul R. Pillar December 22, 2010Tweet Share Share One of the two most prominent divides in Africa is the Great Rift Valley, the geological scar that runs north and south along the eastern half of the continent and has been forming over eons as the African tectonic plate slowly splits into two. The valley's connection with human history has been first and foremost as a cradle of mankind itself, about which modern humans have been able to learn something thanks to a pattern of sedimentation that has preserved and then revealed the bones of human ancestors. More recent human history in and around the valley, and specifically the portion of it along the eastern border of Congo, has been some of the bloodiest in modern times, with successive rounds of warfare beginning in the late 1990s causing more deaths than any other conflict since World War II. The other great divide does not have a name, is not visible on physical maps of the continent, and runs east and west. It is the blurry boundary along the Sudanian Savanna where largely Muslim North Africa meets the areas to the south inhabited mostly by Christians and adherents of native religions. It is a civilizational and cultural fault line that has not only been the scene of much conflict but has also largely defined the conflicts. The line is not visible on political maps any more than physical ones, meaning that the conflicts have largely played out within countries as civil strife. Currently a major focus is the portion of the line that runs through Sudan, given the likelihood that, as Benny Morris recently discussed in these spaces, southern Sudanese will vote in a referendum next month to make that portion a political boundary and create a separate state. But it is not just Sudan that is involved, given that this divide extends much farther to the west. Currently another hot spot along the line that is being racked by violence is Cote d'Ivoire, where an incumbent president from the south refuses to relinquish his office after a disputed election last month that most outside observers believe was won by his opponent from the north."

"text": "Shahira Amin In July 2007 I was commissioned by CNN to produce a feature story on Egyptian identity. The four-minute piece was to air on CNN’s Inside Africa, a weekly show that takes pride in showing viewers the ‘real’ Africa in all its diversity, rich heritage, and culture. Unlike other programmes that often focus on poverty and disease when covering the dark continent , this is a show that looks at the success stories of Africans. My producer in Atlanta , Georgia , at the time was Cynthia Nelson, an African-American . She asked me to devote my four- minute piece to whether Egyptians really consider themselves Africans. I hired a camera crew and set out on my mission, thinking I would only prove the obvious: Wasn’t Egypt in North Africa? Therefore, Egyptians are Africans. But it wasn’t simply a matter of geographical location-the issue turned out to be much more complex than that. I did not know it at the time but I was to be most astonished at what I would soon discover. I spent the next couple of days interviewing hundreds of Egyptians– not just academics and researchers but also laymen and women in different districts in Cairo — asking how they view themselves."

"text": "Alternative Title: East Africa Eastern Africa, part of sub-Saharan Africa comprising two traditionally recognized regions: East Africa, made up of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda; and the Horn of Africa, made up of Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. Eastern Africa consists largely of plateaus and has most of the highest elevations in the continent. The two most striking highlands are in Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively, where large areas reach elevations of 6,500 to 10,000 feet (2,000 to 3,000 metres). Twin parallel rift valleys that are part of the East African Rift System run through the region. The Eastern, or Great, Rift Valley extends from the Red Sea ’s junction with the Gulf of Aden southward across the highlands of Ethiopia and Kenya and continues on into Tanzania. The Western Rift Valley curves along the western borders of Uganda and Tanzania. Between the two rift valleys lies a plateau that comprises most of Uganda and western Tanzania and includes Lake Victoria. The volcanic massif of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, reaches 19,340 feet (5,895 metres) in northeastern Tanzania. The Horn of Africa, a major peninsular extension of the African mainland into the Arabian Sea, contains the vast lowland coastal plains of Somalia. The climate of eastern Africa is generally tropical, though average temperatures tend to be reduced by the region’s high elevations."

[ 1] Within its regular outline, it comprises an area of 30,368,609 km 2 (11,725,385 sq mi), excluding adjacent islands. Its highest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro, its largest lake is Lake Victoria [2]Separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea [1] in from much of Asia by the Red Sea, Africa is joined to Asia at its northeast extremity by the Isthmus of Suez [1] (which in transected by the Suez Canal ), 130 km (81 mi) wide. For geopolitical purposes, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt – east on the Suez Canal – is often considered part of Africa. From the most northerly point, Ras ben Sakka in Tunisia, at 37°21′ N, to the more southerly point, Cape Agulhas in South Africa, 34°51′15″ S, is a distance approximately of 8,000 km (5,000 mi); from Cap-Vert, 17°31′13″W, the westernmost point, to Ras Hafun in Somalia, 51°27′52″ E, the most easterly projection, is a distance (also approximately) of 7,400 km (4,600 mi). [ 1]The main structural lines of the continent show both the east-to-west direction characteristic, at least in the eastern hemisphere, of the more northern parts of the world, and the north-to-south direction seen in the southern peninsulas. Africa is thus mainly composed of two segments at right angles, the northern running from east to west, and the southern from north to south.

In contrast with other continents, it is marked by the comparatively small area of either very high or very low ground, lands under 180 m (590 ft) occupying an unusually small part of the surface; while not only are the highest elevations inferior to those of Asia or South America, but the area of land over 3,000 m (9,800 ft) is also quite insignificant, being represented almost entirely by individual peaks and mountain ranges. Moderately elevated tablelands are thus the characteristic feature of the continent, though the surface of these is broken by higher peaks and ridges. ("

"text": "Home » History of South Africa » The Bantu Brief history of the Bantu migration into South Africa The great southward Bantu migration in Africa took place in sub-Saharan Africa (south of the Sahara Desert), over some 2,000 years. With the development of the iron blade, reaping became easier for the bantu people and agriculture took on a whole new meaning. Populations grew faster than before and people were encroaching on each other's land. This necessitated an enlargement of territory, which led to the migration of African black tribes from the Great Lakes in central Africa, to the south of Africa. This was one of the largest human migrations in history. A linguistically related group of about 60 million people originating in west and equatorial Africa, gradually migrating down the continent into southern Africa. The cause of this movement is uncertain, but is believed to have been related to population increase, a result of the introduction of new crops, such as the banana (native to south Asia), allowing more efficient food production.

The landlocked country, a historic kingdom, is one of the few countries in Africa whose borders were not determined by colonial rulers. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The vast majority of Burundi’s population is Hutu, traditionally a farming people. Power, however, has long rested with the Tutsi minority, which historically has controlled the army and most of the economy, particularly the lucrative international export of coffee. Few real cultural differences are distinguishable between the two peoples, and both speak Rundi (Kirundi). Such linguistic homogeneity is rare in sub-Saharan Africa and emphasizes the historically close cultural and ethnic ties among the peoples in Burundi. Burundi Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Even so, ethnic conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi has plagued the country since it gained independence from Belgium in 1962, at a great cost in human life and property. Few Burundians escaped the ensuing anarchy into which the country was plunged when this interethnic violence flared anew in the 1990s, a bloody conflagration that well illustrated the Rundi proverb “Do not call for lightning to strike down your enemies, for it also may strike down your friends.” Neither the presence of an international peacekeeping force beginning in the late 1990s nor the ratification of an agreement to share power between Hutu and Tutsi were immediately effective in curbing interethnic violence, which also spilled into the neighbouring countries of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Burundians are now faced with the task of quelling ethnic dissent, promoting unity, and rebuilding the country."

However, ecological issues are just the beginning... Loss of Fresh Water According to UN-Water, 75% of planet Earth is covered in water. 97.5% of that is ocean and 2.5% is freshwater. 70% of freshwater is divided into glaciers and ice caps and the remaining 30% into land surface water, such as rivers, lakes, ponds and groundwater. Most of the freshwater resources are either unreachable or too polluted, leaving less than 1% of the world's freshwater, or about 0.003% of all water on Earth, readily accessible for direct human use. According to the Global Outlook for Water Resources to the Year 2025, it is estimated that by 2025, more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability and human demand for water will account for 70% of all available freshwater. Furthermore, a report in November 2009 by the 2030 Water Resources Group suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions in the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50% and a report jointly produced by more than two dozen U. N. bodies states that, \"\"By 2030, nearly half of the world's people will be living in areas of acute water shortage.\"\" The planet is in the midst of what the United Nations is calling a \"\" Global Water Crisis. \"\" Freshwater is the most fundamental finite resource with no substitutes for most uses, yet we are consuming fresh water at least 10 times faster than it is being replenished in regions of northern Africa, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, China, and the U. S.. According to the World Resources Institute, \"\"Freshwater ecosystems – the diverse communities found in lakes, rivers, and wetlands – may be the most endangered of all. Some 34 percent of fish species, mostly from fresh water, are threatened with extinction, according to the latest tally of the World Conservation Union (IUCN), which tracks threats to the world’s biodiversity."

Bismark appreciated the opportunity to expand Germany's sphere of influence over Africa and desired to force Germany's rivals to struggle with one another for territory. At the time of the conference, 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control. What ultimately resulted was a hodgepodge of geometric boundaries that divided Africa into fifty irregular countries. This new map of the continent was superimposed over the one thousand indigenous cultures and regions of Africa. The new countries lacked rhyme or reason and divided coherent groups of people and merged together disparate groups who really did not get along."

She has a master's degree in education. This lesson will explore the 19th and 20th century colonization of Africa, which forever changed the political landscape of the continent. In doing so, it will highlight the Berlin Conference and the Principle of Effectivity. Background to Conference Often called 'Africa's undoing', the Berlin Conference saw the powers of Europe divide the African continent like young boys dividing up baseball cards. With little to no concern for the culture of the continent, maps were redrawn and lands were claimed. As Europe bickered over who got what, the native inhabitants of Africa watched as their culture was uprooted and destroyed. Before we dive into the details of the conference, let's take a look at the years leading up to it. When Henry Morton Stanley explored the Congo region, Europe's interest in the continent swelled, and in the 1870s organizations like the International African Society and the International Congo Society were formed by Europeans to research and civilize the continent. Of course, it didn't take long for researching and civilizing to turn into claiming and conquering as countries like France, Britain, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal scrambled to grab up new lands."

Its landmass holds 54 countries and nine territories. Over 1.11 billion people call Africa home, and call themselves African. Africa, and being African, has become a core part of the identity of millions of the continent's inhabitants, but where does this word, to which so many have such an emotional connection, come from? The exact origins of the word ‘Africa’ are contentious, but there is much about its history that is known. We know that the word ‘Africa’ was first used by the Romans to describe that part of the Carthaginian Empire which lies in present day Tunisia. When the Romans conquered Carthage in the second century BCE, giving them jurisdiction over most of North Africa, they divided North Africa into multiple provinces, amongst these there were Africa Pronconsularis (northern Tunisia), and Africa Nova (much of present-day Algeria, also called Numidia). All historians agree that it was the Roman use of the term ‘Africa’ for parts of Tunisia and Northern Algeria which ultimately, almost 2000 years later, gave the continent its name."

This goes together with other important democratic principles such as the right to vote, to choose which party you want to belong to and to accept the results of an election. There are different ways to elect representatives into government, including the system of proportional representative and the constituency-based system. The South African Constitution says elections must be based on the system of proportional representation. Proportional representation (PR)This means that parties get a certain number of seats in parliament according to the percentage of votes that they get in an election. So, for example, if your party gets 15% of all the votes in the country then it gets 15% of the seats in Parliament. There are 400 seats in the national parliament. So for every 0.25% of the vote a party gets 1 seat. This example shows how seats are allocated.2004 Election South Africa: 400 seats Party Percentage of vote Number of seats ANC69.68%279DA12.37%50IFP6.97%28UDM2.28%9ID1.73%7NNP1.65%7ACDP1.6%6VF+0.89%4UCDP0.75%3PAC0.73%3MF0.35%2AZAPO0.27%2Constituency-based elections This system is used in some countries like the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.

A: Quick Answer A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles is called an angle bisector. The straight line cuts an angle in half, creating two equal angles. Continue Reading Keep Learning What is a polygon with all of its sides and angles congruent? What is a perpendicular bisector? What is the correct theorem for proving that triangles are congruent? Credit: Kevin Dooley CC-BY-2.0Full Answer The bisector is a ray, a line or a portion of a line that enters the midpoint of the angle through the interior of the angle. Congruent angles are the same size as one another and they always contain an equal number of degrees. In the case of a 90-degree angle, a bisector splits the angle in half and creates two angles that are 45 degrees each. Lines that are the same length are also referred to as congruent."

Introduction There are an uncountable number of topics that students are expected to cover each year in school. For example, they are expected to learn about right triangles, similar triangles, and polygons. We expect them to learn about angles, lines, and graphs. One of the topics that almost every high school geometry student learns about is the Pythagorean Theorem. When asked what the Pythagorean Theorem is, students will often state that a2+b2=c2 where a, b, and c are sides of a right triangle. However, students often don't know why this is true. Most have never proved it."

To find the height, we can draw an altitude to one of the sides in order to split the triangle into two equal 30-60-90 triangles. Now, the side of the original equilateral triangle (lets call it \"\"a\"\") is the hypotenuse of the 30-60-90 triangle. Because the 30-60-90 triange is a special triangle, we know that the sides are x, x, and 2x, respectively. Thus, a = 2x and x = a/2.

"text": "\"Difference Between Parallelogram and Quadrilateral Posted on March 26, 2013 by admin Parallelogram vs Quadrilateral Quadrilaterals and parallelograms are polygons found in Euclidean Geometry. Parallelogram is a special case of the quadrilateral. Quadrilaterals can be either planar (2D) or 3 Dimensional while parallelograms are always planar. Quadrilateral Quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. It has four vertices, and the sum of the internal angles is 3600 (2π rad). Quadrilaterals are classified into self-intersecting and simple quadrilateral categories. The self-intersecting quadrilaterals have two or more sides crossing each other, and smaller geometric figures (such as triangles are formed inside the quadrilateral). The simple quadrilaterals are also divided into convex and concave quadrilaterals. Concave quadrilaterals have adjacent sides forming reflex angles inside the figure. The simple quadrilaterals that don’t have reflex angles internally are convex quadrilaterals."

But unless you’re taking the GRE to go for your masters in math history, this has no possible relevance to your life. So we’ll skip the history lesson and get right to the facts. Lines and Angles An angle is composed of two lines and is a measure of the spread between them. The point where the two lines meet is called the vertex. On the GRE, angles are measured in degrees. Here’s an example: The ° after the 45 is a degree symbol. This angle measures 45 degrees. Acute, Obtuse, and Right Angles Angles that measure less than 90° are called acute angles. Angles that measure more than 90° are called obtuse angle s. A special angle that the GRE test makers love is called a right angle."

It can also be used to find the degrees of its angle given the length of two of its sides. What Is a Tangent Ratio? A right triangle is a triangle that contains a right angle. A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Any right triangle will have two angles that are not right angles and two sides that are not the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side of a right angle that is always across from the right angle and is the longest side. The tangent ratio is a comparison between the two sides of a right triangle that are not the hypotenuse. If two different sized triangles have an angle that is congruent, and not the right angle, then the quotient of the lengths of the two non-hypotenuse sides will always give you the same value. Remember that congruent is just a fancy way of saying that two or more sides, angles, or triangles have the same measures."

Flag What is the measure of each base angle of an isosceles triangle if the vertex measures 6X plus 8 and 9X-25? Answer by Norvellwisdom Confidence votes 25.1KIf the two expressions given for the vertex angle are to be the same number, 6x + 8 = 9x -25; then 3x = 25 + 8 = 33 and x = 11. Therefore, the vertex angle is 6 (11) + 8 = 74. The two base angles of an isosceles triangle must be the same and the three angles of the triangle must sum to 180.

As with triangles and other polygons, quadrilaterals have special properties and can be classified by characteristics of their angles and sides. Understanding the properties of different quadrilaterals can help you in solving problems that involve this type of polygon. Defining a Quadrilateral Picking apart the name “quadrilateral” helps you understand what it refers to. The prefix “quad-” means “four,” and “lateral” is derived from the Latin word for “side.” So a quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Since it is a polygon, you know that it is a two-dimensional figure made up of straight sides. A quadrilateral also has four angles formed by its four sides. Below are some examples of quadrilaterals."

The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. The congruence of opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct consequence of the Euclidean parallel postulate and neither condition can be proven without appealing to the Euclidean parallel postulate or one of its equivalent formulations. By comparison, a quadrilateral with just one pair of parallel sides is a trapezoid in American English or a trapezium in British English. The three-dimensional counter-part of a parallelogram is a parallelepiped. The etymology (in Greek παραλληλ-όγραμμον, a shape \"\"of parallel lines\"\") reflects the definition.

In contrast, a parallelogram also has two pairs of equal-length sides, but they are opposite to each other rather than adjacent. Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flying kites, which often have this shape and which are in turn named for a bird.

The property extends to other related geometric objects. A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle. [ 2] Explicitly, a first line is perpendicular to a second line if (1) the two lines meet; and (2) at the point of intersection the straight angle on one side of the first line is cut by the second line into two congruent angles. Perpendicularity can be shown to be symmetric, meaning if a first line is perpendicular to a second line, then the second line is also perpendicular to the first."

From the air, you see that it covers a huge area, about 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), about half the size of the United States. Antarctica is just slightly larger than another continent in the southern hemisphere, Australia. You also see that it is quite mountainous. Antarctica has an average elevation of 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) making it the highest continent on Earth. In comparison, the average elevation of the state of Colorado (the highest in the USA) is a mere 6,800 feet. As your plane circles over the landscape, you note that Antarctica is divided into unequal eastern and western portions by the Transantarctic Mountain chain, which is about 100 million years old.

The river of ice from the Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland is moving at an accelerated rate that is of great concern. Careful studies of one hundred glaciers worldwide show that glaciers everywhere are retreating, and at an accelerated rate. The observed loss of ice is 1.6 feet (.5 meter) to 3.3 feet (1 meter) of thickness each year. This is two to three times the corresponding average ice loss in the 1900s.

The study, published in Diversity and Distribution Journal today, examined the geography, geology, climate, flora and fauna of the ice-free areas of Antarctica and identified the biologically distinct Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions. The lead author and Australian Antarctic Division terrestrial biologist Dr Aleks Terauds, said this is the first time there has been a continent-wide assessment of the biogeography of Antarctica using all of the available biodiversity data. Dr Terauds is presenting the new research at the prestigious Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research lecture at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) in Hobart today. “Previously terrestrial Antarctica has been divided into 2 main areas based on aspects like geography geology or specific types of biodiversity,” Dr Terauds said. “The new research amalgamated 38,000 terrestrial records including the diverse biology such as microbes, invertebrates and plants. “It revealed a complex ecosystem which can be divided into 15 very distinct and potentially delicate biogeographic regions which are characterized by different climates, landscapes and species,” Dr Terauds said. Introduced species are identified as one of the biggest threats to the Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in a warming climate. “With about 40,000 people visiting Antarctica over a summer, as tourists, scientists or station support personnel, there’s the potential more species will be accidentally transferred to and within Antarctica. ”“While quarantine procedures are already in place for inter-continental travel, such as cleaning clothing and equipment before arriving in Antarctica, there are less biosecurity measures for intra-continental movement,” he said."

Defining a Continent The \"\"Glossary of Geology,\"\" which is published by the American Geosciences Institute, defines a continent as “one of the Earth’s major land masses, including both dry land and continental shelves.\"\" Other characteristics of a continent include: Areas of land that are elevated in relation to the surrounding ocean floor A variety of rock formations, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary A crust that is thicker than those of the surrounding oceanic crusts. For example, the continental crust may vary in thickness from about 18 to 28 miles in depth, whereas oceanic crust is usually about 4 miles thick. Clearly defined boundaries This last characteristic is the least well defined, according to the Geological Society of America, leading to confusion among experts as to how many continents there are. What's more, there is no global governing body that has established a consensus definition."

These two freezing global terminal points are recognised as the North and South Pole and the continental regions of Arctic and Antarctica settle in these two polar coordinates respectively. The Polar Regions remain wrapped up in thick ice-blanket throughout the year. The weather is very cold, far below freezing temperatures, all year around in both North and South Pole. Bitter cold winds whip the earth's Polar Regions and so, these vast and remote territories are difficult to access. Weather plays a wild game in the Polar Regions. During the winter, the sun never rises for six months at a stretch and in the summer the sunshine, no matter how much gleam, refuses to put off for next half of the year. Although the two global ends remain shrouded by clouds and hardly habitable due to hostile environmental conditions, Arctic and Antarctica are vital determinants of global climate. With miles of ice laden landscape, towering heights and smooth slopes of glaciers and frozen sea surface the Polar Regions fare well as tourism destinations. Polar bears, penguins, seals, whales, and walrus are a few of the wildlife that live in these very cold regions."

Photo: Jerzy Strzeleck Penguins are superb swimmers and divers. Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are flightless seabirds found almost entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. Although their wings have become useless for flight, they have become superbly adapted to swimming and diving. For example, Gentoo penguins can swim up to 35 km per hour— compared with 9 km per hour for the fastest Olympic swimmer. Emperor penguins can dive to depths of more than 520 m to find food—deeper than any other bird. Penguins must return to land or sea ice to rear their young, however, and they are renowned for their feats of endurance as parents. The Emperor penguin raises its chick on top of the frozen Antarctic Ocean amid winter temperatures as low as -60°C and winds of 195 km per hour. For two months, the male fasts while taking on the sole duty of incubating the egg, which he must balance on top of his feet to protect it from the ice below."

Degrees of latitude are parallel so the distance between each degree remains almost constant. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The distance varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles.

The heart has four chambers and is divided through the middle into two halves by a septum (a partition), with each half separated again by a septum. These divisions create the left atrium and left ventricle, and the right atrium and the right ventricle. The septum creates a thick muscular wall between the chambers, ensuring each chamber is isolated from its neighbors. Connected to the heart are some of the main blood vessels, arteries and veins, that make up the blood circulatory system. The ventricle on the right side of your heart pumps blood from the heart to your lungs. When you breathe air in, oxygen passes from your lungs through blood vessels where it's added to your blood. Carbon dioxide, a waste product, is passed from your blood through blood vessels to your lungs and is removed from your body when you breathe air out. The atrium on the left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs. The pumping action of your left ventricle sends this oxygen-rich blood through the aorta to the rest of your body."

Introduction Types of hydrocephalus Primary causes of hydrocephalus What is cerebrospinal fluid? The brain in a nutshell Introduction The word hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek– hydro means water, and cephalus means head. It is a neurological condition that occurs when there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles and/or subarachnoid space of the brain. The increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) can either be the result of an overproduction of CSF (a condition known as choroid plexus papilloma), an obstruction of the flow of CSF, or a failure of the structures of the brain to reabsorb the fluid. Although there is little public awareness about hydrocephalus, according to recent statistics from the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hydrocephalus affects approximately 1 out of every 1,000 children born each year. Hydrocephalus can also be acquired after birth from a variety of causes."

A: Quick Answer The interventricular septum divides the left ventricle from the right ventricle, thus keeping oxygenated blood from mixing with deoxygenated blood. Without this separation, the body would not be able to obtain the level of oxygen it needs for subsistence. The septum also contributes to the heart's shape and structure.

The larger left ventricle pumps blood to most of the body, while the right ventricle sends blood to the lungs. If oxygenated blood from the left ventricle were to mix with deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle, the integrity and efficacy of the system would be disrupted, preventing the body from receiving an ample oxygen supply."

The compounds and other factors transported around the body are blood, nutrients, medications and antibodies to fight infection, the residue of worn out cells and the wastes of metabolism. There are times when undesirable compounds and factors are found in the system as well, such as poisons or toxins and disease causing organisms. The circulatory system The circulatory system consists of a number of organs and an associated transport system. These include the heart, the blood vessels, the spleen, the bone marrow, the blood and the lymph vessels. The blood and vascular system develops very early in the life of the embryo as the nutrition of the rapidly developing embryo is urgent and a transport system is required to transport the nutrients to where they are needed. Evidence of the system can be seen within about an hour and the system is clearly defined and operating within two days. By day three, it is possible to see the beat of the embryonic heart with the naked eye. Fluids that act as a carrier of the various compounds and factors form part of the system.

Print this slide© 2018 The Nemours Foundation/Kids Health. All rights reserved. About the Heart and Circulatory System The circulatory system is composed of the heart and blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. Our bodies actually have two circulatory systems: The pulmonary circulation is a short loop from the heart to the lungs and back again, and the systemic circulation (the system we usually think of as our circulatory system) sends blood from the heart to all the other parts of our bodies and back again. The heart is the key organ in the circulatory system. As a hollow, muscular pump, its main function is to propel blood throughout the body. It usually beats from 60 to 100 times per minute, but can go much faster when necessary. It beats about 100,000 times a day, more than 30 million times per year, and about 2.5 billion times in a 70-year lifetime."

The right atrium receives blood from the superior and inferior vena cavas and the coronary sinus; blood then moves to the right ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs. The lungs re-oxygenate the blood and send it to the left atrium. Blood moves from the left atrium to the left ventricle via the bicuspid valve; blood is pumped out of the left ventricle to the aorta, which sends blood to the organs and muscles of the body. The heart is composed of three layers: the epicardium (outer layer), the myocardium (middle layer), and the endocardium (inner layer).

Coronary circulation intrinsic to the heart takes blood directly from the main artery (aorta) coming from the heart. For pulmonary and systemic circulation, the heart has to pump blood to the lungs or the rest of the body, respectively. Circulatory System: The mammalian circulatory system is divided into three circuits: the systemic circuit, the pulmonary circuit, and the coronary circuit."

The planets (at least in our solar system) are divided between inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). Inner planets consist of heavy materials (metals mostly) because when the Star explodes during its birth it pushes all the surrounding material away from it. Naturally the the heaviest of mater (metals) don't go far, whereas light material (gasses) travel long distances, so thats why outer planets consist of gasses. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are gas giants very similar to each other. In fact they should have been..... ANOTHER STAR:) Because most solar systems are binary (meaning there are 2 stars) but in our case there wasn't enough material to form a 2nd star - thats why we have 4 gas giants instead. So... the question asked... Why doesn't Jupiter has a surface? Because its a gas giant and its main component by far is gas (hydrogen and helium). As Robert Frost says (he answered this question on quora many times, even I asked this question earlier) it goes from gas, to very dense gas, to liquid, to metallic hydrogen of great pressure and temperature (because particles are forced to move alongside each other under great pressure) into some sort of core (we are still not 100% sure whats in it, but metals are likely due to the fact that Jupiter has an insane gravity field and compressed hydrogen because its everywhere around the core:) It might be difficult to understand at first because its very BIZARRE.... not to have a surface, but once you stop thinking about Jupiter as \"\"something like Earth only bigger\"\" it will be easier to accept that this is something different, therefore the word \"\"weird\"\" or \"\"strange\"\" is what is \"\"normal\"\" to this planet. Because its just a huge ball of gas, its just increasing the temperature and density as you move towards the core, thus all the transitions are smooth and continuous, thus there is no distinctive surface.21.1k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

Interplanetary age [ edit]Main article: Early history of the UNSCThe concept of space colonization was born out of the need to expand human habitation outside of Earth to prevent overpopulation, to alleviate the consumption of Earth's resources by conducting planetary mining on other worlds, and to better understand the universe as human civilization expanded. Various approaches were suggested to achieve this, such as colonization efforts of the Moon and Mars, building facilities on orbiting asteroids and creating artificial platforms . The first recorded success of human colonization in the modern age was made in the later half of the 21st century, more specifically in 2080. The Moon and Mars saw humanity's first expansion, followed by a number of asteroids and the natural satellites orbiting Jupiter. The rapid pace of interplanetary colonization was driven by commercial interests more than the efforts on the part of national governments: Earth bio- and nanotechnology corporations sought to conduct scientific research unhindered by Earth's international law as well as its gravity."

"text": "\"Sustainability Why is the earth's core so hot? And how do scientists measure its temperature? Quentin Williams, associate professor of earth sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz offers this explanation: There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements. CROSS SECTION shows Earth's structure. It takes a rather long time for heat to move out of the earth. This occurs through both \"\"convective\"\" transport of heat within the earth's liquid outer core and solid mantle and slower \"\"conductive\"\" transport of heat through nonconvecting boundary layers, such as the earth's plates at the surface. As a result, much of the planet's primordial heat, from when the earth first accreted and developed its core, has been retained. The amount of heat that can arise through simple accretionary processes, bringing small bodies together to form the proto-earth, is large: on the order of 10,000 kelvins (about 18,000 degrees Farhenheit). The crucial issue is how much of that energy was deposited into the growing earth and how much was reradiated into space. Indeed, the currently accepted idea for how the moon was formed involves the impact or accretion of a Mars-size object with or by the proto-earth."

Out of them, the mantle is the thickest layer, while the crust is the thinnest layer. The Earth’s structure Artistic depiction of the Earth’s structure. Image via Victoria Museum. The Earth’s structure can be defined in several ways, but general, we see the Earth as having a solid crust on the outside, an inner and an outer core, and the mantle in between. The crust’s thickness varies between some 10 km and just over 70 km, having an average of about 40 km. The core has, in total, a radius of 3500 km, but it is generally viewed as two distinct parts:the solid inner core, with a radius of 1220 kmthe viscous outer core, with a radius of 2300 km The mantle’s thickness is about 2900 km – so if you consider the Earth’s core as one big thing, then the core is the “thickest layer” (though has a bigger radius is probably a better way of saying it) – but the idea of a separate outer and inner core is generally accepted. The Mantle – thickness and composition The mantle comprises about 83% of the Earth’s volume. It is divided into several layers, based on different seismological characteristics (as a matter of fact, much of what we know about the mantle comes from seismological information – more on that later in the article). The upper mantle extends from where the crust ends to about 670 km."

Credit: discovermagazine.com As you may recall learning in geology class, the Earth is made up of distinct layers. The further one goes towards the center of the planet, the more intense the heat and pressure becomes. Luckily, for those of us living on the crust (the outermost layer, where all life lives) the temperature is relatively steady and pleasant. In fact, one of the things that makes planet Earth habitable is the fact that the planet is close enough to our sun to receive enough energy to stay warm. What's more, its \"\"surface temperatures\"\" are warm enough to sustain liquid water, the key to life as we know it. But the temperature of Earth's crust also varies considerably depending on where and when you are measuring it. Earth's Structure: As a terrestrial planet, Earth is composed of silicate rocks and metals which are differentiated between a solid metal core, a molten outer core, and a silicate mantle and crust.

Chavis•edited by: George Adcock •updated: 1/10/2011The celestial bodies in our Solar System are divided into different sections: the inner planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars separated by the asteroid belt from the outer planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each celestial body is made of a different type of material: rock, gas or ice. The celestial bodies in our Solar System are divided into two regions, based on the structure and size of the planets. The first region of the Solar System is commonly referred to as the inner planetary area, containing the first four planets, which are rocky worlds. This is set apart from the outer planets by the asteroid belt. The outer planets are the four gas giants. Surrounding the entire system is the Kuiper belt, a collection of icy bodies beyond Neptune.

Pierre-Simon Laplace, one of the originators of the nebular hypothesis Ideas concerning the origin and fate of the world date from the earliest known writings; however, for almost all of that time, there was no attempt to link such theories to the existence of a \"\"Solar System\"\", simply because almost no one knew or believed that the Solar System, in the sense we now understand it, existed. The first step towards a theory of Solar System formation was the general acceptance of heliocentrism, the model which placed the Sun at the centre of the system and the Earth in orbit around it. This conception had been gestating for thousands of years, but was only widely accepted by the end of the 17th century. The first recorded use of the term \"\"Solar System\"\" dates from 1704.

Except for Pluto, the outer planets are gaseous with the outer most layer of gas being hydrogen, they have ring systems, and are much less dense than earth. The main differences between the two sections are distance from the sun and the facts that the inner planets are contained by the asteroid belt, where as the outer planets are not. With the exception of Pluto, All outer planets are massive in comparison to the inner planets. The smallest outer planet, being Neptune. The inner planets are also called terrestrial planets, and the outer planets (excluding Pluto) are Jovian planets.

Summary: The terrestrial planets formed close to the Sun where temperatures were well suited for rock and metal to condense. The jovian planets formed outside what is called the frost line, where temperatures were low enough for ice condensation. Sections: Overview Terrestrial planet formation Jovian planet formation Related Lessons: A Classroom Solar System Planetary Distances on the Playground The Planets and Scale Clay Planets Modeling Sizes of Planets Astro-Chronology Overview In the previous section, we discussed the formation of a star via the collapse of a big cloud of gas. It is worth noticing that the eight planets in our solar system make up two different groups; the four planets closest to the Sun make up the rocky terrestrial planets and the four planets farthest from the Sun make up the gaseous jovian planets. Why do objects that formed from the same cloud of gas have different compositions? The answer lies in where these objects formed in relation to the parent star, our Sun. After the solar nebula collapsed to form our Sun, a disk of material formed around the new star. The temperature across this protoplanetary disk was not uniform. Since different materials condense at different temperatures, our solar system formed different types of planets."

"text": "Palate Cancer Not what you're looking for? Start New Search ABOUT CAUSES DIAGNOSIS TREATMENTWhat is cancer of the palate? The palate is commonly called the roof of the mouth. It is divided into two parts: the bony hard palate in the front, and the fleshy soft palate (called the velum) in the back of the mouth. The hard palate is part of the oral cavity and the soft palate is part of the oropharynx. The hard palate creates a barrier between the mouth and the nasal cavity. A natural opening in the palate for nerves and blood vessels (near the third molar) can create a passageway for a tumor to spread into the nasal cavity. The soft palate closes the nasal passage during swallowing so food does not enter the nose. It also helps create speech sounds. If the palate does not function correctly during speech, air escapes through the nose, and the speech has a nasal sound."

Allergic reactions, irritants, injury, and infections are common contributors to mouth pain, but there are a number of home treatments you can use when you find your palate swollen. What Causes My Roof of Mouth Swollen? Most sufferers of roof of mouth pain will find that the underlying cause is unknown. However, in some cases, swelling is attributed to infections, physical trauma, allergies, or even larger systemic diseases affecting the body. Typically, conditions that affect the amount of saliva your mouth produces will affect mouth irritation.1. Infections You may find your roof of mouth swollen due to a virus or other infection. The herpes simplex virus, which causes mouth sores, is typical of the mouth area. The chickenpox virus, varicella-zoster, can cause recurring sores on the side of the mouth that are painful both when raw and healing. Bacterial infections due to tooth decay and poor hygiene will contribute to swelling and soreness."

The tiniest abnormality may feel huge when your tongue swipes at it on your palate. Soreness on the roof of your mouth after you eat can stem from a variety of possible causes. Visit your doctor or dentist if your mouth pain lingers. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Burns Burning the roof of your mouth while eating can cause significant soreness afterward, sometimes for several days. Your palate is delicate. The high internal temperatures of coffee and other hot beverages, melted cheese on pizza, enchiladas or other similar dishes can burn your palate easily, even if you take small bites or sips. The simple solution to this problem is to prevent burns on the roof of your mouth by allowing your food to cool before eating. Lift the cheese layer up away from the rest of the food to let steam escape before taking a bite. Cold Sores Cold sores, otherwise known as fever blisters, may be the cause of your pain."

"text": "Roof Of Mouth Hurts – Pain, Sore and Swollen Palate? By Senior Editor Food Pyramid - 23 Sep, 2013Nowadays, a common complaint that doctors hear from patients is that their roof of mouth hurts. If you are one of these people, this article will tell you about the common causes of pain in your roof of mouth, the respective treatments and even preventative measures you can take at home. But first, you should be clear about what the roof of the mouth actually is. If you use your tongue to feel the top of your mouth, you will undoubtedly feel a difference in texture between the front side and the back. There is a horizontal bony plate in the front part of the roof of your mouth called the hard palate, which you will have felt to be hard. Behind that however, you will feel ticklish if you poke your tongue further back as the latter part of the roof of your mouth is made of soft tissue and is known as the soft palate. Hard palate pain is much less common than soft palate pain as the latter is more sensitive. If you feel alarmed that the roof of the mouth hurts, it is actually a pretty common condition. Usually the pain is accompanied by inflammation or sores on roof of the mouth."

"text": "\"Gargoyles ~ Grotesques Gargoyle In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally \"\"throat\"\" or \"\"gullet\"\"; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula (\"\"gullet\"\" or \"\"throat\"\") and similar words derived from the root gar, \"\"to swallow\"\", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, \"\"throat\"\"; Spanish g‡rgola, \"\"gargoyle\"\"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which means \"\"to gargle.\"\" The Italian word for gargoyle is doccione o gronda sporgente, an architecturally precise phrase which means \"\"protruding gutter.\"\""

As you know, in this blog, I talk about all things oral — over time, we’ve talked about teeth, gums, cheek biting, lips, the tongue, etc.. But I’ve neglected one important area, and it’s an area that’s pretty easy to overlook, because it doesn’t jump out and bite you (pardon the pun). I’m talking about the roof of your mouth. Generally, since it’s kind of “out of sight”, the roof of your mouth doesn’t get too much attention. Oh, when we eat some pizza that’s too hot and the cheese burns the roof of your mouth you take notice (for sure! ), but other than that, it’s just not something we think about too much. But like other parts of your mouth, the roof of your mouth has a function, so let’s go ahead and take a look at this area. To begin, we’ll start by calling it its proper name: the Palate. Bet some of you didn’t know that. Actually, to take it a step further, we have the hard palate (essentially the front) and the soft palate (the back)."

The digestive tract, also known as the alimentary canal, extends from the mouth to the anus and includes several accessory organs that release secretions into the canal. The primary organs include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, and the pancreas. The walls of the digestive tract contain four layers. The inner most layer is the mucous (mucosa) membrane. It serves to protect the other tissues by adding a layer of mucous and it also carries on absorption and secretion. The next layer is the submucosa which contains loose connective tissue along with blood vessels, lymphatic vessel, and nerves. The vessels serve to nourish surrounding tissues and to carry away absorbed materials. The next layer is the muscular layer that consists of two coats of smooth muscle tissue."

This phenomenon is known as \"\" pizza palate \"\" because fresh slices of pizza are usually the cause of irritation in this part of the mouth. However, pizza isn't the only food that can burn your mouth; any hot food can have this effect. Hot drinks, like coffee or tea, can lead to similar burns.

The polyplacophorans, commonly known as chitons, are often considered by scientists to be the most primitive of all existing molluscs. Strictly marine, the majority of the chiton species inhabit rocky seashore environments where their low dome-shaped shells are well suited to withstanding the violent serge of ocean waves. They all cling tenaciously to the hard substratum and if dislodged from its rock, will roll up into a ball to protect their fleshy under surface. This also allows it to roll around safely in the waves until it can reattach itself to a rock. Most chitons are herbivorous; however a few are predatory. They are nocturnal in behavior.

It can also spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. The most common place oral cancer spreads to is the lymph nodes in the neck. Oral cancer may also be called oral cavity cancer or mouth cancer. Cells in the mouth sometimes change and no longer grow or behave normally. These changes may lead to non-cancerous (benign) tumours such as warts and fibromas. Changes to cells of the mouth can also cause precancerous conditions. This means that the abnormal cells are not yet cancer, but there is a chance that they may become cancer if they aren’t treated."

"text": "MLBMLB Expansion: Would adding two teams be good for Major League Baseball? Adam Rickert @ adam_rickert Analyst II June 19, 2013Comments Jeff Gross/Getty Images Ahh, the wonders of interleague play. Houston's move to the American League before the 2013 season had to be done. Before this season, teams from the American League West had a statistically better chance to make the playoffs than anyone else, while teams from the National League Central had a statistically worse chance to make the playoffs than anyone else. That problem has been solved, but another has arisen. There are 30 teams in Major League Baseball, 15 (an odd number) in each league. Baseball is different from the three other major North American sports for two reasons. First, it is the only sport in which each team plays six to seven games every week in sets of two, three or four-game series. Second, it is the only sport that has two leagues with different rules. The American League style of play is based around having a designated hitter."

( USATSI)The 2014 regular season is officially in the books, which means now's the perfect time to start talking about the 2015 season -- and now we can, thanks to the NFL. On Monday, the league announced the 2015 home-and-away opponents for all 32 teams. First, let me say good luck to the Browns, who have nine games next season against 2014 playoff teams. The Rams, Steelers, Seahawks and 49ers will also be playing nine games against 2014 playoff teams. Next season will also give us Brady-Manning XVII, which could actually be Brady-Manning XVIII if the Patriots and Broncos meet in the playoffs this season. Tom Brady and the Patriots will travel to Denver in 2015, marking Brady's first regular season trip to Colorado since the Broncos signed Manning in 2012. Brady will actually get to play both Manning brothers because the Patriots will be traveling to New York for the first time since 2007. The last time Brady played the Giants in New York, New England won the game to cap off a 16-0 season, but then went on to lose to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. Anyway, back to they subject at hand."

The Cardinals compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) West division. The Cardinals were founded as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898, and are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States. [ 3] The Cardinals play their home games at the University of Phoenix Stadium, which is located in the northwestern suburb of Glendale, Arizona. The team was established in Chicago in 1898 and joined the NFL as a charter member on September 17, 1920. [ 2] Along with the Chicago Bears, the club is one of two NFL charter member franchises still in operation since the league's founding. ("

"text": "2015 Dallas Cowboys Schedule Coming Into Focus57Each year the NFL makes a big production about 'releasing the schedule' in April. But the NFL's scheduling formula has already determined 14 of 16 opponents each team will face next year, just not when and in what sequence. By One. Cool. Customer @OCC44 Dec 6, 2014, 4:00pm CSTShare Stew Milne-USA TODAY Sports And with that info, we can take a quick look at what the 2015 schedule could look like for the Cowboys. Like every year, the Cowboys will play three home games and three away games against the NFC East in 2015. The NFC division on the schedule for 2015 is the NFC South; the AFC division is the AFC East. Finally, they'll play a team each from the NFC North and NFC West that finishes in the same spot in their division as the Cowboys will in the NFC East. The home and away matchups have also already been determined. Per the NFL Record & Fact Book these are: Home Opponents Away Opponents NFC East Eagles Eagles Giants Giants Redskins Redskins NFC South Falcons Saints Panthers Buccaneers AFC East Patriots Dolphins Jets Bills NFC NFC West opponent NFC North opponent So the only unknown teams for the Cowboys are the intraconference opponents from the NFC North and NFC West."

"text": "Infinity, the concept of something that is unlimited, endless, without bound. The common symbol for infinity, ∞, was invented by the English mathematician John Wallis in 1657. Three main types of infinity may be distinguished: the mathematical, the physical, and the metaphysical. Mathematical infinities occur, for instance, as the number of points on a continuous line or as the size of the endless sequence of counting numbers: 1, 2, 3,…. Spatial and temporal concepts of infinity occur in physics when one asks if there are infinitely many stars or if the universe will last forever. In a metaphysical discussion of God or the Absolute, there are questions of whether an ultimate entity must be infinite and whether lesser things could be infinite as well. Hilbert, David: infinite hotel paradox Learn about David Hilbert's paradox of the “infinite hotel.” © Open University Mathematical infinities The ancient Greeks expressed infinity by the word apeiron, which had connotations of being unbounded, indefinite, undefined, and formless. One of the earliest appearances of infinity in mathematics regards the ratio between the diagonal and the side of a square. Pythagoras ( c. 580–500 bce) and his followers initially believed that any aspect of the world could be expressed by an arrangement involving just the whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3,…), but they were surprised to discover that the diagonal and the side of a square are incommensurable —that is, their lengths cannot both be expressed as whole-number multiples of any shared unit (or measuring stick)."

"text": "\"The Milwaukee Take: Brewers in Seven Oak Creek editor Mark Schaaf was just a twinkle in his father's eye during the last Suds Series, but better late than never: He's attended every playoff game at Miller Park and sleeps next to a Gorman Thomas bobblehead. When Nyjer Morgan tweeted \"\"I hope those crying birds injoy watching tha Crew in tha Playoffs!\"\" on Sept. 7, few could have imagined just how wrong Morgan would turn out to be. Well, the spelling and grammatical errors were obvious. But more importantly, the Cardinals were an after-thought in the playoff race at that time. You know how it turned out: St. Louis would go on a tear, catch and pass the Atlanta Braves on the final day of the regular season, and upset perennial favorite Philadelphia in the National League Division Series. So a rematch of the '82 Suds Series it is, beginning Sunday afternoon at Miller Park. It's the last part of that sentence that serves as the biggest reason why the Crew will pull out the series: the majority of the games will be played on the banks of Lake Michigan. Subscribe The Brewers won an unbelievable 57 games at Miller Park this season, a franchise record that was the best home record in all of baseball. The success continued this past week in an intense five-game series against Arizona."

This will allow us to relate any two numbers. We will learn to say, for example, that 6 is the fourth part, or one quarter, of 24, and that 18 is three quarters of 24. We are not concerned here with \"\"How do you do it?\"\" but, rather, \"\"What does that mean? \"\" What is more, to really understand Percent, it is necessary to understand parts, because a percent is a part of 100%. 50% means half -- because 50 is half of 100. 25% means a quarter beause 25 is a quarter of 100. And 20% means a fifth because 20 is the fifth part of 100. Finally, fractions ( Lesson 20) are parts of number 1."

For the train company, see Southeastern (train operating company). For the journal, see Hastings West-Northwest Journal of Environmental Law and Policy.16-point compass rose The points of the compass mark the divisions on a compass, which is primarily divided into four points: north, south, east, and west. These cardinal directions are further subdivided by the addition of the four intercardinal (or ordinal) directions—northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW)—to indicate the eight principal winds. In meteorological usage, further intermediate points between cardinal and ordinal points, such as north-northeast (NNE) are added to give the 16 points of a wind compass. [ 1]32-point compass rose At the most complete division are the full thirty-two points of the mariner's compass, [2] which adds points such as north by east (Nb E) between north and north-northeast, and northeast by north (NEb N) between north-northeast and northeast. A compass point allows reference to a specific course (or azimuth) in a colloquial fashion, without having to compute or remember degrees. The European nautical tradition retained the term \"\"one point\"\" to describe 1⁄ 32 of a circle in such phrases as \"\"two points to starboard\"\". By the middle of the eighteenth century, the 32-point system was extended with half- and quarter-points to allow 128 directions to be differentiated. ["

LOUIS (NNS) -- The 58th Cardinal Division from Navy Recruiting District St. Louis was officially sworn into the Navy during a ceremony at Busch Stadium July 21. Forty-eight future Sailors from Kansas, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky were given the oath of enlistment in front of family, friends and baseball fans by Commander, Navy Recruiting Command Rear Adm. Jeff Hughes. \"\" I can't be more proud of having you join our team and make us better,\"\" said Hughes. Hughes also thanked family members and the city of St. Louis for their support of America's newest Sailors. \"\" Thank you for providing the most critical asset that we have in the United States Navy,\"\" Hughes said. \"\" As they go off into all parts of our Navy, they will continue to do great things for us as a nation.\"\" The day began with a pre-event picnic at City Hall and Poelker Park. After watching the St. Louis Cardinals take on the San Diego Padres, the recruits boarded a bus and headed to Recruit Training Command (RTC) Great Lakes to start their military training.

The Early Days The team boasts a colorful history! Its fans have known the club as the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cardinals, Racine Cardinals, the Normals, and the Morgan Athletic Club. The team began as a neighborhood group that gathered to play football in a predominantly Irish area of Chicago's South Side, playing under the name Morgan Athletic Club. The team later was acquired by Chris O'Brien, a painting and decorating contractor, and soon its playing site changed to nearby Normal Field, prompting the new name Normals. In 1901, the team gained longstanding identification when O'Brien, finding a bargain, bought used jerseys from the nearby University of Chicago. The jerseys were faded maroon in color, prompting O'Brien to declare, \"\"That's not maroon, it's Cardinal red!\"\" The club's permanent nickname had been born!The jersey color and the location of the field led to a new and obvious name, the Racine Cardinals. In Chicago at the time, football competition was exclusively amateur, but such opposition became increasingly hard to find, so in 1906, the team disbanded. In 1913, O'Brien reorganized the Cardinals."

Alabama is in the SEC. ( AP)Annual spending on sports by public universities in six big-time conferences like the SEC and Big 12 has passed $100,000 per athlete — about six to 12 times the amount those universities are spending per student on academics, according to a study released Wednesday to greet college presidents arriving at the NCAA's annual meeting in Texas. ADVERTISEMENTThe study finds the largest gap by far in the Southeastern Conference, which combines relatively low academic spending and explosive coaching salaries. Median athletic spending there totaled nearly $164,000 per athlete in 2010. That is more than 12 times the $13,390 that SEC schools spent per student for academic expenses, including instructional costs and student services. The schools of the Pac-10 (now the Pac 12), Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten and Big East also averaged six-figure spending per student athlete in 2010, the study finds. Across Division I, athletic spending —though still smaller in absolute terms — rose twice as fast as academic spending between 2005 and 2010. During that period, the schools competing in the top-level Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the NCAA upped their athletic expenditures on average $6,200 per athlete each year, according to data compiled by the Delta Cost Project at American Institutes for Research as part of an ongoing project with the pro-reform Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. The report does not provide information about ratios at individual institutions."

Thomas also won the AL batting title in 1997 with a .347 mark. Thomas was named the AL's Most Valuable Player by unanimous vote in 1993. That year, he became the first White Sox player to hit 40 home runs and led the team to a division title. He repeated as MVP in the strike-shortened 1994 season, batting .353 and leading the league in slugging average and runs. Following two sub-par seasons, Thomas lost a close MVP vote in 2000 despite posting career highs of 43 home runs and 143 RBI. Still, he was named AL Comeback Player of the Year, and Chicago finished with the AL's best record."

"text": "Chip Kelly appears headed back to the ranks of college football head coaches. ( Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)Chip Kelly had plenty of suitors lined up for his next coaching gig, but it was UCLA that rose above the rest to claim this year’s coveted hire. On ESPN’s “College Game Day” broadcast Saturday morning, Kelly, who is employed by the network as an analyst, called in to announce that he had accepted as head coach of the Bruins football program. It had been reported that Kelly had narrowed his final choice to UCLA and Florida, but signs seemed to point toward him landing with the Bruins. Yahoo reported Wednesday that the Gators were looking elsewhere after meeting with Kelly. [ A tradition unlike any other: Firing season is upon us once again in college football]Leaving UCLA, which was always an intriguing possibility simply because of what it could be, what it hasn’t done and how it isn’t the center of the universe in its particular town. Any rundown of Kelly’s aims usually included cutting out as many non-football responsibilities as possible, something easier to do in Los Angeles than in a Southeastern Conference town. He’s also familiar with the Pac-12 after going 46-7 at Oregon in a four-year stint. The Bruins, though, might be the best fit largely because it’s not an impossible job but also one with realistic expectations. Four qualities go a long way in determining how good any job is, with a strong coach putting a school over the top: access to talent (geography), resources (money/facilities), tradition (i.e. has it been done before) and institutional commitment."

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( February 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)College baseball is baseball that is played on the intercollegiate level at institutions of higher education. In comparison to football and basketball, college competition in the United States plays a smaller role in developing professional players, as baseball's professional minor leagues are more extensive. Moving directly from high school to the professional level is more common in baseball than in football or basketball. However, if players enroll at a four-year college, they must complete three years to regain eligibility, unless they reach age 21 before starting their third year of attendance. Players who enroll at junior colleges (i.e., two-year institutions) regain eligibility after one year at that level. In the most recently completed 2017 season, there were 298 NCAA Division I teams in the United States (including schools transitioning from Division II to Division I). As with most other U. S. intercollegiate sports, competitive college baseball is played under the auspices of the NCAA or the NAIA. The NCAA writes the rules of play, while each sanctioning body supervises season-ending tournaments."

"text": "SECWhat Should We Consider The Modern Era Of College Football? Paul Atwood | 7 years ago SHARE TWEETWhile there is no one year that you can point to and say that this is the year everything changed for college football and recruiting I tend to look at 1982 as the beginning of the modern era of college football and recruiting. 1982 was the 50 th anniversary of the SEC and it represents some major changes in the college football landscape. It is not until the 60’s that college football becomes more than just a novel sport among college athletics and it is not until 1973 that we see the NCAA divide the schools into Division I, Division II, & Division III schools. I think people today would be shocked at what recruiting looked like in the 60’s & 70’s. What was going on in Texas in the 70’s & early 80’s is pretty well documented. The 80’s saw the NCAA take steps to stop the abuses and close the loop holes that where being exploited by the programs and the coaches. College football was becoming big business and where there is big business there is big money. The 80’s saw the beginning of the modern era of NCAA regulation.1980 is also a rough point in time where cable TV and sports broadcasting starts to have an impact on the world of athletics (ESPN was founded in 1979). A football player no longer has to enroll in a program at a major media market to get the TV exposure."

Its start, however, was slow. With VAMC President John Mc Bryde’s approval and support, an athletic association was organized in September 1891. The major efforts of this organization during its early years were concentrated on football. At the urging of a few interested students and faculty during the fall of 1891, a number of students assembled on campus to play pick-up games of the new sport. A year later, largely through the efforts of Professor W. E. Anderson, Professor E. A. Smyth and cadets H. B. Pratt and J. W. Stull, Tech’s first football team was organized. Anderson played right tackle and served as the captain. Smyth was the “trainer” (or coach) and business manager. It was necessary for the organizers to go into the barracks every day and beg men to come out to play because those who were not placed on the first team one day would refuse to return the next."

LSU has been featured in a game with ESPN College Game Day on location a total of 25 times, and the show has aired from Baton Rouge a total of 13 times. The Tigers made at least one appearance on the show every year from 2003 to 2016. In recent years, LSU has had a high number of players drafted into the National Football League (NFL). As of the beginning of the 2017 NFL season, there were 51 former LSU players on active rosters in the NFL, the most of any college program. ["

"text": "(Photo: AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREImagine being the athletics director of a school in the Sun Belt, Mid-American Conference or even Conference USA. Your head football coach has just left or been fired, meaning it’s time to go into coaching search mode. Like any good AD, you’ve been monitoring the landscape, knowing this day could come. You’ve made a list of the brightest young assistant coaches in the country ready for head coaching jobs, and if you get lucky you might become a launching pad the next Urban Meyer, who got his start at Bowling Green, or Gus Malzahn, who went from Auburn’s offensive coordinator to Arkansas State’s head coach. ASSISTANT COACH PAY: See what they are making this year But the landscape for assistant coaches has changed rapidly, particularly for those who work in the so-called Power Five conferences. Pay for assistant coaches at top programs has become so good — including multi-year, guaranteed contracts in many cases — that there is often little financial incentive to take jobs at smaller schools where they can prove themselves as head coaches. As a result, the entire way athletics directors at smaller schools now approach coaching searches has changed. It used to be that almost any head coaching job in the FBS was considered more attractive than a coordinator position, but as the financial gap has grown between the Power Five and the so-called Group of Five conferences — which includes the American Athletic, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt — teams competing for national championships have placed significant value on coordinators. The average assistant coaching salary in the SEC this year came in just over $449,000, a number that eclipses 12 FBS head coaches, including Northern Illinois’ Rod Carey and Dino Babers, whose move from Bowling Green to Syracuse became official on Saturday. The average assistant coach salary for all FBS coaches was $245,000, according to an analysis by USA TODAY Sports."

"text": "\"For Auburn fans, this is both an exciting and troublesome time. They are starting the 2009 football season without the coach who has given them both the wins over their arch-rival and the stability they have enjoyed during his 10 years on the Plains. It's exciting because they start a new chapter of their history with an energetic staff and hope for a turnaround. It's troublesome because many Auburn faithful are still unsure about Gene Chizik as the head coach and the reeling decline of Auburn football in this past year. But in a change that is perhaps just as big, these are the final years of Bobby Lowder presiding over the board at Auburn. He will be out when his term expires in less than two years. Many think the board will be reshaped to ease out Lowder's appointees as well. Like most things in life, there are good and bad sides to any individual. Lowder and his family have been among Auburn's greatest benefactors. The Lowder Business Building many see on campus, mistakenly think it's named after Bobby, but that was a gift to the school by his parents, who started being philanthropic to Auburn long before Bobby."

She served as the head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team from 1974 to 2012, before retiring at age 59 because of a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. [ 1] She won eight NCAA championships (a NCAA women's record when she retired) and the third most all time. Summitt won a silver medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as a member of the United States women's national basketball team. She returned to the Olympics in 1984 as a head coach, guiding the U. S. women's basketball team to a gold medal. She was named the Naismith Basketball Coach of the Century in 2000. In 2009, the Sporting News placed her at number 11 on its list of the 50 Greatest Coaches of All Time in all sports; she was the only woman on the list. In 38 years as a coach, she never had a losing season. In 2012, Summitt was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama and received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2012 ESPY Awards. Summitt wrote three books, all with co-author Sally Jenkins: Reach for the Summitt, which is part motivational book and part biography; Raise the Roof, about the Lady Vols' 1997–1998 undefeated and NCAA-championship winning season; and Sum It Up, covering her life including her experience being diagnosed and living with Alzheimer's disease.

"text": "\"A History of Rowan County Postcard from circa 1918 of the Rowan County Court House Click Here to go to the official website of the Rowan County government. The County Seat was first called Rowan Court House. It has been called Salisbury since about 1755. Rowan County was formed in 1753 from Anson County, and was named for Matthew Rowan (d. 1760), Acting Governor at the time the county was formed. The county seat is Salisbury. Initially, Rowan County included the entire northwestern sector of North Carolina, with no clear western boundary, but its size was reduced as a number of counties were split off. The first big excision was to create Surry County in 1771. Burke and Wilkes counties were formed from the western parts of Rowan and Surry in 1777, leaving a smaller Rowan County that comprised present-day Rowan, Iredell (formed 1788), Davidson (1822), and Davie (1836). Surry, Burke, and Wilkes subsequently fragmented further as well. Depending on where your ancestors lived, you may want to look at records for some of these later counties also."

"text": "\"A river basin is the land that water flows across or under on its way to a river. Just as a bathtub catches all the water that falls within its sides, a river basin sends all the water falling on the surrounding land into a central river and out to an estuary or the sea. Everyone lives in a river basin, even if you don't live near the water. The land that we live on eventually drains to a river or estuary or lake, and our actions on that land affect water quality and quantity far downstream. The topography of each basin determines the area that it drains, and for North Carolina, whether that water flows into the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.

That information will be provided below so that you will be able to \"\"get it right\"\" when shopping at the garden center. But let's begin by discussing some great varieties of these spectacular flowering bushes; we'll conclude with information on how to grow them. Two Popular Varieties of Rhododendron The Catawba rhododendron variety ( Rhododendron catawbiense) is a broadleaf , evergreen bush that has dark green, leathery foliage, as well as spring flowers that are great for attracting hummingbirds. This rhododendron shrub is easy to transplant, but it does require an acidic soil and prefers a shady location. Flowers can be white, lavender rose or the red that hummingbirds so love. Catawba rhododendron bushes can reach a height of 6-8 feet, with a spread of 4-6 feet. Displays are most effective when rhododendron bushes are massed together. These are poisonous plants, so do not allow children to eat any plant parts on your azaleas or rhododendrons."

Some of the Native American Indian groups played a minor role while others launched attacks throughout South Carolina in an attempt to destroy the colony. Native Americans killed hundreds of colonists and destroyed many settlements. Traders \"\"in the field\"\" were killed throughout what is now southeastern United States. Abandoning settled frontiers, people fled to Charles Town, where starvation set in as supplies ran low. The survival of the South Carolina colony was in question during 1715. The tide turned in early 1716 when the Cherokee sided with the colonists against the Creek, their traditional enemy. The last of South Carolina's major Native American foes withdrew from the conflict in 1717, bringing a fragile peace to the colony. The Yamasee War was one of the most disruptive and transformational conflicts of colonial America. It was one of the American Indians' most serious challenges to European dominance."

Posted by Daniel Strum on Wednesday,August 5, 2015 11:39, EDT in NFL News, Betting Tips, Picks & Previews Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+When the online betting calendar turned over to 2015, Jim Tomsula was a defensive line coach. A few weeks later, he was one of the 32 head coaches in the National Football League. His first interview with the CSN Bay Area network was one of the more awkward conversations in recent memory on television, as he kept pausing, muttering, contradicting himself and simply failing to answer questions. Tonsula made a sharp contrast with Jim Harbaugh, who was much more at ease with the press. It looked, to all observers, that the San Francisco 49ers were so glad to have gotten rid of the egotistical Jim Harbaugh that they had replaced him with an unvarnished assistant who would simply do the bidding of the front office. Injury updates and more from Jim Tomsula before the first padded practice of #C4M9:http://t.co/p34Qckzs Zp.pic.twitter.com/Nk CFL5r93p— San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) August 5, 2015Then, San Francisco’s players started leaving. In March it was linebacker Patrick Willis who retired. His apparent replacement, Chris Borland, retired a week later – at the age of 24. A couple months later, Justin Smith retired after 14 years in the league, leaving a big hole on the defensive line."

Polk, 11th president of the United States. [ 1]In 1771 Governor Tryon called out five militiamen of Tryon County to help put down the Regulator movement, a protest against corrupt county officials and excessive taxes, centered in counties to the northeast of Tryon. Although the colony was officially at peace with the Indians from 1763 to 1776, the Tryon County frontier was the target of occasional raids, usually by Cherokee, but sometimes by Shawnee and other faraway tribes."

"text": "Catawba Worms and What They Eat October 18, 2011We recently received an interesting question from a reader concerned about Catawba worms and Royal Empress trees. The reader has planted a Royal Empress tree in his yard, but he also wants to plant a catalpa tree because these trees attract Catawba worms (in fact, catalpa trees are often called “Catawba trees”), which are excellent fish bait because of their tough skin (fish can’t just pick them off the hook). The reader has a pond on his property that his brother loves to fish in, and hence the desire for a catalpa tree and the Catawba worms that feed on their leaves. The problem is this: Royal Empress trees are very similar to catalpa trees, so the reader fears that if he plants the latter, the Catawba worms will show up and feed on both trees, not just the catalpa tree. So, the reader is essentially wondering how discriminating Catawba worms are in their tastes. Will they only eat catalpa trees, as they are famous for doing, or will they also eat similar trees, like Royal Empress trees? First, a little background on Catawba worms, which are in fact not worms at all. They are, like so many other “worms” we write about on this site, larva – more specifically, they are the larva of the sphinx moth, which makes them caterpillars. When they are hatching from the egg, the larvae are very pale, but in time they become yellow with a black strip down their backs and black dots on their sides. Before exiting the larval stage of their life cycle (that is, before they cease to be caterpillars and transition into adult moths), they can reach about two inches in length."

"text": "Race First published Wed May 28, 2008; substantive revision Wed Feb 17, 2016The concept of race has historically signified the division of humanity into a small number of groups based upon five criteria: (1) Races reflect some type of biological foundation, be it Aristotelian essences or modern genes; (2) This biological foundation generates discrete racial groupings, such that all and only all members of one race share a set of biological characteristics that are not shared by members of other races; (3) This biological foundation is inherited from generation to generation, allowing observers to identify an individual’s race through her ancestry or genealogy; (4) Genealogical investigation should identify each race’s geographic origin, typically in Africa, Europe, Asia, or North and South America; and (5) This inherited racial biological foundation manifests itself primarily in physical phenotypes, such as skin color, eye shape, hair texture, and bone structure, and perhaps also behavioral phenotypes, such as intelligence or delinquency. This historical concept of race has faced substantial scientific and philosophical challenge, with some important thinkers denying both the logical coherence of the concept and the very existence of races. Others defend the concept of race, albeit with substantial changes to the foundations of racial identity, which they depict as either socially constructed or, if biologically grounded, neither discrete nor essentialist, as the historical concept would have it. Both in the past and today, determining the boundaries of discrete races has proven to be most vexing and has led to great variations in the number of human races believed to be in existence. Thus, some thinkers categorized humans into only four distinct races (typically white or Caucasian, black or African, yellow or Asian, and red or Native American), and downplayed any biological or phenotypical distinctions within racial groups (such as those between Scandavians and Spaniards within the white or Caucasian race). Other thinkers classified humans into many more racial categories, for instance arguing that those humans “indigenous” to Europe could be distinguished into discrete Nordic, Alpine, and Mediterranean races. The ambiguities and confusion associated with determining the boundaries of racial categories have over time provoked a widespread scholarly consensus that discrete or essentialist races are socially constructed, not biologically real. However, significant scholarly debate persists regarding whether reproductive isolation, either during human evolution or through modern practices barring miscegenation, may have generated sufficient genetic isolation as to justify using the term race to signify the existence of non-discrete human groups that share not only physical phenotypes but also clusters of genetic material. In addition, scholarly debate exists concerning the formation and character of socially constructed, discrete racial categories. For instance, some scholars suggest that race is inconceivable without racialized social hierarchies, while others argue that egalitarian race relations are possible."

Syracuse University (commonly referred to as Syracuse, ' Cuse, or SU [7]) is a private research university in Syracuse, New York, United States. The institution's roots can be traced to the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary (later becoming Genesee College ), founded in 1831 by the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lima, New York. After several years of debate over relocating the college to Syracuse, the university was established in 1870, independent of the college. Since 1920, the university has identified itself as nonsectarian, [8] [9] [10] [11] although it maintains a relationship with The United Methodist Church. [ 12] [13] [14] [15] [16]The campus is in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse, east and southeast of downtown, on one of the larger hills. Its large campus features an eclectic mix of buildings, ranging from nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival structures to contemporary buildings. SU is organized into 13 schools and colleges, with nationally recognized programs in information studies and library science, architecture, communications, business administration, inclusive education and wellness, sport management, public administration, engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences. Syracuse University athletic teams, known as the Orange, participate in 20 intercollegiate sports."

Under Bettman, the NHL has seen rapid growth of league revenues, from $400 million when he was hired to over $3.0 billion in 2010–11. [ 1] [2] [3] He also oversaw the expansion of the NHL's footprint across the United States, with seven new teams added during his tenure, bringing the NHL to 31, starting as of the 2017–2018 season. In May 2014, Bettman was named \"\"sports executive of the year\"\" by the Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily. [ 4] In 2016, Bettman was inducted as a member of the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. [ 5]However, Bettman's tenure in the NHL has been controversial. He has often been criticized for attempting to give the game a mass appeal, and for expanding the league into non-traditional hockey markets such as the Sun Belt at the expense of the more traditional markets in Canada and the Northern United States. [ 1] [6] Bettman has also been a central figure of three labor stoppages, including the 2004–05 NHL lockout that saw the entire season canceled. ["

"text": "\"Home » Classroom The Three Types of Powers Granted in the Constitution By Pamela Martin The framers provided for five different types of powers in the U. S. Constitution. When they began designing the new government, the framers of the U. S. Constitution considered what they viewed as the tyranny experienced by the former colonists. To eliminate the temptation for a new national government to usurp the authority of the states and the people, they wrote the division of those powers into the Constitution. The best-known powers are the delegated, reserved and concurrent, but the document also includes listings of denied powers and provides for unforeseen needs with implied powers. Powers Delegated to the Federal Government Delegated powers are those specifically assigned to the national government. Also known as enumerated powers, the list of the expressed powers is in Article I, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution. Some of the exclusive powers include coining money, making treaties, regulating interstate and international commerce and maintaining a postal system. Powers Reserved to the States The 10th Amendment reserves all powers not specifically assigned to the national government for the states, other than powers denied to state governments. This amendment first allowed the states to adopt their own constitutions, although later amendments, including the 14th through 16th, 19th, 24th and 26th, have reduced some of the authority of the states. The authority to establish schools and the responsibility for conducting elections are examples of reserved powers."

Following the suicide of former Cornell football player and head football coach Henry Schoellkopf in 1912, his close friend, Willard Straight, donated $100,000 to construct the Schoellkopf Memorial Hall in honor of Henry Schoellkopf. The building was completed in 1913. In response to Straight's generous gift, members of the Schoellkopf family and the Zeta Psi Fraternity donated $70,000 for the construction of Schoellkopf Field in honor of the Schoellkopf family patriarch, Jacob F.

Along with its academic medical partners, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine, New York-Presbyterian has made numerous contributions to patient care since the founding of New York Hospital in 1771 and The Presbyterian Hospital in 18681771The New York Hospital is founded by a royal charter from King George III of England. Twenty years later, the hospital receives its first patients.1776The New York Hospital cares for more than 3,000 American soldiers who were wounded while fighting in the Revolutionary War. For the next two centuries, New York-Presbyterian continues to treat ill or wounded troops, including those who served in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.1804Family physician, Columbia medical school professor, and New York Hospital attending physician Dr. David Hosack accompanies Alexander Hamilton to his fatal duel with Aaron Burr.1821The Bloomingdale Asylum for psychiatric care opens in Morningside Heights. The New York Hospital had opened an asylum, adjacent to the hospital, in 1808, but moved to more tranquil surroundings, overlooking the Hudson River, at Broadway and 116th Street. It is the country’s second behavioral health facility and the first in New York City.1849After being rejected by more than 12 medical schools, Elizabeth Blackwell is admitted to Geneva (now Hobart) Medical School in upstate New York, where she graduates at the top of her class and becomes the first woman to earn a medical degree in the U. S. She later founds the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, which is now New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.1868The Presbyterian Hospital is founded by James Lenox.1876At the former Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Lewis Stimson performs the first public operation in the U. S. demonstrating the “Lister method” of antiseptic — a leg removal in front of more than 50 people. Afterward, the patient is observed around the clock for infection, but it never arrives. Stimson had applied an antiseptic (a carbolic acid solution) on the sponges, instruments, sutures and wound during the procedure.1889An old brewery, tenement house, and saloon purchased for $1,800 is transformed into the 10-bed The Helping Hands Hospital. Rapid patient growth forces the hospital to move to a Revolutionary-era house, then into a proper home in 1966, when it is renamed Hudson Valley Hospital Center. Today, it is New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital.1892Known as the American Florence Nightingale, Anna Caroline Maxwell is named director of the School of Nursing at the former Presbyterian Hospital in New York City."

He was appointed Chairman of the Federal Farm Board by his long-time friend and neighbor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, soon after Mr. Roosevelt’s inauguration to the presidency on March 4, 1933. Mr. Morgenthau became Governor of the Farm Credit Administration upon the effective date of the Executive order establishing FCA. Before beginning his career with FCA, Mr. Morgenthau had served under Mr. Roosevelt when Mr. Roosevelt had been Governor of New York—first as chairman of the New York State Agricultural Advisory Commission in 1929 and then as State commissioner of conservation in 1930. In his role as a key advisor to the new president on the farm crisis, he was tasked with abolishing the Federal Farm Board and establishing an independent farm credit agency that would consolidate the various agricultural credit agencies. He also was charged with ameliorating the financial problems of farmers, who were losing their farms during the Depression at an alarming rate. To accomplish those objectives, he brought William I. Myers of Cornell University to Washington to advise him and to write the Executive order establishing the Farm Credit Administration, as well as the legislation authorizing it—the Farm Credit Act. Mr. Morgenthau served at FCA until later in 1933, when the President appointed him Acting and Under Secretary of the Treasury. In 1934, he was named Secretary of the Treasury after Secretary William Woodin’s ill health forced him to resign. Mr. Morgenthau remained in that role for 11 years."

"text": "Introduction Pennsylvania State University, colloquially known as Penn State, is a public research university that awards associate, bachelors, masters, doctoral, and professional degrees and offers continuing education programs. Penn State’s main campus is located in the city of University Park; nineteen branch campuses are spread throughout the state. There is also a medical school in Hershey, a law school in Dickinson, a school of graduate and professional studies in Malvern, and the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport. The university’s mission is one that improves the lives of the people of Pennsylvania, the nation, and the world through integrated, high-quality programs in teaching, research, and service. History Although the school was not officially established until 1863, the idea of it was born in the 1850’s. Like many land grant universities, the school began as an agricultural college. A local iron worker donated 200 acres of farmland to the new institution, and the first president conceived a broad education based on his own European education. Over the decades, the school grew as an agricultural research institution while developing a respected scientific research community. The United States’ involvement in the space race, along with national concerns for the quality of education, among other hot topics, have guided it to develop leading educational and research programs. The school received full university status in 1953."

However, ratification of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments.

Along the way, thanks to its innovative frontier spirit, UNLV has kept pace with one of the country’s fastest-growing and most enterprising cities. The Early Years The university’s origins were humble, indeed. In 1951, when the post-war boom had swollen Las Vegas’ metropolitan population to more than 50,000, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), established an extension program. Twenty-eight students began meeting for classes in the dressing rooms of Las Vegas High School’s auditorium. In 1954, the Nevada Board of Regents founded the Southern Regional Division of the University of Nevada, popularly known as Nevada Southern. Students adopted the Rebel name and mascot to reflect their desire to break free from UNR. After Las Vegas residents exerted pressure, the regents decided to acquire land for a campus, finally selecting an 80-acre parcel along the two-lane dirt road known as Maryland Parkway. On September 10, 1957, the first classes were held on campus in a new 13,000-square-foot building, later named for Maude Frazier, a state assemblywoman and founding force behind Nevada Southern. A year later, the school received accreditation from the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools."

Rare Book and Special Collections Division. The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777. However, ratification of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789.

Settlements of the Lenape were agriculturally based following matrilineal lines. The protected lands nearby, Jockey Hollow, are what is remaining of the settlement. Occupation changed with the seasons, the variable nature of the climate, and to preserve the fertility of the rich soil. Their fishing and hunting territories were wide-ranging and similarly divided among the three clans of the matrilineal culture in this Eastern Woodland environment. Trade with these native peoples for food and furs was conducted by the Dutch during the period of colonization of New Netherland."

The revival movement had a permanent impact on Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion. The Great Awakening marked the emergence of Anglo-American evangelicalism as a transdenominational movement within the Protestant churches. In the United States, the term Great Awakening is most often used, while in the United Kingdom, it is referred to as the Evangelical Revival. Building on the foundations of older traditions— Puritanism, pietism and Presbyterianism —major leaders of the revival such as George Whitefield, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards articulated a theology on revival and salvation that transcended denominational boundaries and helped create a common evangelical identity. Revivalists added to the doctrinal imperatives of Reformation Protestantism an emphasis on providential outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Extemporaneous preaching gave listeners a sense of deep personal conviction of their need of salvation by Jesus Christ and fostered introspection and commitment to a new standard of personal morality. Revival theology stressed that religious conversion was not only intellectual assent to correct Christian doctrine but had to be a \"\" new birth \"\" experienced in the heart. Revivalists also taught that receiving assurance of salvation was a normal expectation in the Christian life. While the Evangelical Revival united evangelicals across various denominations around shared beliefs, it also led to division in existing churches between those who supported the revivals and those who did not."

For his son the New Jersey State Senator, see Fairleigh Dickinson, Jr. Colonel Fairleigh Stanton Dickinson Sr. ( August 22, 1866 – June 23, 1948) was the co-founder of the Fortune 500 medical technology company Becton Dickinson and the named benefactor of Fairleigh Dickinson University. [ 1]Biography [ edit]Born in Core Creek near Beaufort, North Carolina, he was the son of David Owen and Margaret Ann Tillman Dickinson. As a young man he was a sailor on a square rigger for two years, before moving to Elizabeth, N. J., where he worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. while attending night high school. After being associated with the Saugerties Manufacturing Company, Dickinson and Maxwell Becton founded their surgical firm in New York in 1897, and moved it to Rutherford several years later. It soon became one of the largest surgical instrument manufacturing concerns in the U. S. On December 20th, 1916 he married Grace Bancroft Smith (1887–1973) in Rutherford, NJ and in 1919 they had a son, Fairleigh Dickinson, Jr. (1919–1996) who would eventually go on to run his father's company and become a New Jersey state senator. During World War I, Dickinson was inducted into the United States Army Reserve as a lieutenant colonel, working with the Army Medical corps on supplying surgical instruments. In 1926 he was appointed a member of the War Department's business council with the rank of colonel. Colonel Dickinson was named chairman of the medical and surgical committees for the medical departments of both the Army and Navy in 1940 and was reappointed to the post in 1944."

Background Organized by the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey, the NJ21 Coalition is comprised of State government, law enforcement, education, traffic safety, and non-profit agencies opposed to lowering the current minimum drinking age. The coalition was established in response to the Amethyst Initiative, a nationwide movement of college and university presidents, formed by John Mc Cardell, president emeritus of Middlebury College, who believe the current minimum legal drinking age should be revisited. Statistics In 1980, when the legal drinking age in New Jersey was changed to 19, fatalities were at an all-time high for 18 to 20 year olds, with 88 young people losing their lives in drunk driving crashes on our roadways. In 1983, when the drinking age was raised to 21, 45 individuals in that same age group died as a result of drunk driving-related crashes. Since that time, the number of DWI-related crash fatalities has steadily decreased. In 2007, ten young people were killed in drunk driving crashes on New Jersey roadways. That number has remained constant since 2005. Overall, the State has experienced a 78 percent reduction in DWI fatalities for young people ages 18 to 20 since the drinking age was raised to 21 in the 1980’s. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the current minimum legal drinking age has reduced traffic fatalities involving drivers aged 18 to 20 years old by 13 percent nationwide, saving nearly 900 lives every year."

Apparently, NC State is not opposed to Loyola using the nickname in theory. Instead, NC State would like to prevent Loyola from using the nickname as a \"\"stand alone,\"\" therefore requiring them to only use it combined with their institutional name. If this isn't acceptable, NC State would allow Loyola to “license the nickname for a fee. ”The report also details a similar incident that occurred between NC State and Nevada in 2008 which resulted in Nevada using the two-word nickname “Wolf Pack” as opposed to the one-word “Wolfpack. ”Many universities share nicknames or mascots more amiably but what are the most popular of these shared spirit representatives? The following slideshow presents the 18 most frequently used mascot/nicknames for institutions classified as Division One for sports competition. We begin with nicknames that are used by at least four schools and work our way all the way up to the most commonly used mascot name in NCAA Division One athletics.

"text": "The ECU tendon is on the back of the wrist on the small finger side. The ECU tendon is a common source of wrist pain, as there are many problems that can affect it. The ECU tendon can get pinched in its tunnel or sheath. This is similar to De Quervain’s tendinitis, or trigger finger. ECU tendinitis is often a result of overuse, leading to swelling of the ECU tendon’s lining, which now takes up extra space in the tight ECU sheath. Initial treatment of ECU tendinitis consists of a wrist splint, an injection, and avoiding lifting with the palm down. Lifting with the palm up stresses the ECU tendon less. If non-operative treatment doesn’t work, the ECU tendon can be released. ECU sheath release is a quick, simple outpatient procedure that is similar to a De Quervain’s release or a trigger finger release (see video). After surgery, the wound should be kept clean and dry for 48 hours, and then showering is allowed."

Automotive manufactures began introducing early versions of computer controlled systems to perform one specific function; In 1968, Volkswagen introduced the first computer controlled electronic fuel injection (EFI) system manufactured by Bosch. Controlling the engine is the most processor-intensive job on your car, and the engine control unit is the most powerful computer on most cars. ECU's have become a standard device on most cars since the late 1970's when they became necessary due to increasingly stringent emission standards. The ECU uses closed-loop control, a control scheme that monitors outputs of a system to control the inputs to a system, managing the emissions and fuel economy of the engine (as well as a host of other parameters). Gathering data from dozens of different sensors, the ECU knows everything from the coolant temperature to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. With this data, the ECU performs millions of calculations each second, including looking up values in tables, calculating the results of long equations to decide on the best spark timing and determining how long the fuel injector is open. The ECU does all of this to ensure the lowest emissions and best mileage. Ford & Motorola PTEC Automotive Microcontroller chips (1994)History of Semiconductor partnerships with the Automotive Manufacturers In 1976, General Motors (GM) announced a new partnership with Motorola Semiconductor to develop a Custom Microcomputer for use in their vehicles. By 1981, all GM vehicles would be equipped with their new Computer Command Control System (\"\"CCC\"\") emission control system that featured an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that featured a Motorola 6802 based 8-bit microprocessor manufactured by Delco Electronics."

Comments Email The ECU, or engine control unit, is a major component of your car's onboard computer. It's used to regulate many systems and subsystems in your car's engine, drive train and other major components. There are many symptoms that can be associated with a faulty ECU. Here are some ways to tell if yours is damaged or faulty. The Check Engine Light Is On If you vehicle's check engine light remains on constantly, and never goes off, there's a good chance that your vehicle has a faulty engine control unit. There are numerous reasons why a car's check engine light will remain on. The most common reason is a problem with the ECU. If you notice that your check engine light is always on, take your in vehicle in for service and request that they check the engine control unit. The Car Won't Start If your vehicle fails to start for no apparent reason, this is also a good indicator that there may be a problem with the ECU."

Thanks, but No Thanks4 10 Riding Tips for Beginners: Part 15 Motorcycle Airbags Space Junk NASA Supersonic X-Plane to Be Built by Lockheed Martin in 2021How Motorcycle ABS Works2 Aug 2013, 15:54 UTC · by Florin Tibu/ Home / News / Moto How-To ABS, or the Anti-Lock Braking System, is a word we get to hear on an almost daily basis, but there are rather many fellows out there who don't know exactly what this system does and why they should mind it. The purpose of this short guide is to put some light on how the ABS works in motorcycles.29 photos A brief history Apparently, being invented by Gabriel Voisin in the late 20s to solve some braking problems for airplanes, the anti-lock brakes have been used in the automotive industry first. Almost 50 years have passed from the invention of the most primitive designs to the first fully-operational modern-era ABS brakes. It's of rather little importance who did what and when, suffice to say that the first ABS brakes began to be developed in the mid-80s, with the first ABS-equipped motorcycle presumably being BMW's 1988 K100. The ABS technology came a very long way until the present day, and despite the principle behind its operations remaining basically the same, numerous upgrades in performance and design have been made. Without any trace of doubt, we can say that the actual ABS systems equipping modern motorcycles are the most advanced and the safest brakes ever to be present on a two-wheeler. What does ABS do? The necessity for a safety system such as the ABS became obvious under hard braking conditions and when having to slow down on slippery surfaces, say wet asphalt. One of the biggest problems of braking hard when riding a motorcycle is the wheel or wheels lock-up."

That’s according to the American Association of University Professors, which gathers salary data from universities nationwide to produce an annual report. “ It really is philosophically a statement of worth,” said English professor Janice Tovey, who became chair of the Faculty Senate on July 1. “ They are asking, ‘What’s my value to the department, to the university?’ We want to say, ‘We value what you do. We value your teaching, your research.’ One of the few ways we can say that is with a raise.” The average pay for other faculty ranks also has jumped by double digits. An associate professor here on average earned $73,500 in 2007 compared to $60,265 in 2002."

On-board diagnostics, or OBD, is an automotive term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since the introduction in the early 1980s of on-board vehicle computers, which made OBD possible. Early instances of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light, or MIL, if a problem was detected—but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle. The OBD system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard \"\"Check Engine\"\" light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL, for short). By giving vehicle owners this early warning, OBD protects not only the environment but also consumers, identifying minor problems before they become major repair bills.

AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is an open and standardized automotive software architecture, jointly developed by automobile manufacturers, suppliers and tool developers. The AUTOSAR-standard enables the use of a component based software design model for the design of a vehicular system. The design model uses application software components which are linked through an abstract component, named the virtual function bus. The application software components are the smallest pieces of application software that still have a certain functionality. The software of an application can then be composed by using different application software-components. Standardized interfaces for all the application software components necessary to build the different automotive applications are specified in the AUTOSAR -standards. By only defining the interfaces, there is still freedom in the way of obtaining the functionality. The virtual function bus connects the different software components in the design model. This abstract component interconnects the different application software components and handles the information exchange between them."

"text": "WHAT IS ECU TUNING? ECU remapping is basically reprogramming the ‘brain’ of the car to achieve better performance. As manufacturers have to consider many different conditions like temperature, air pressure, fuel quality (not every country has high octane fuel), the programming of the ECU software often is a compromise between performance and street legality in all countries. Additionally, the factory software is made to make the car run even under ‘unreal’ conditions, which normally will never occur in your area. These factors still leave the possibility to optimize the factory setup, and this is what Veloce Performance specializes in. We can help you make impressive performance gains without influencing your car’s reliability. To make this happen, the ECU of your car needs to be reprogrammed. There are several ways that we can do this: Direct programming of the computer’s chip that is in the ECU. OBD reprogramming. Many new cars offer the ability to read and write the complete ECU data via the diagnosis connector."

Most modern vehicles contain an ECU (or Engine Control Unit) that is effectively a small computer which controls how the engine works. Vehicle manufacturers de-tune the engine by setting the software on the ECU to default before sending the vehicle out. This is done due to the manufacturers having to sell their cars all over the world, this means that the software settings on the ECU must take into account different climates, laws & restrictions and varying quality of fuels."

The gas pedal in your car is connected to the throttle valve -- this is the valve that regulates how much air enters the engine. So the gas pedal is really the air pedal. When you step on the gas pedal, the throttle valve opens up more, letting in more air. The engine control unit (ECU, the computer that controls all of the electronic components on your engine) \"\"sees\"\" the throttle valve open and increases the fuel rate in anticipation of more air entering the engine. It is important to increase the fuel rate as soon as the throttle valve opens; otherwise, when the gas pedal is first pressed, there may be a hesitation as some air reaches the cylinders without enough fuel in it."

And it needs to know precisely where it's positioned to help it achieve better performance. So how is it able to find out exactly where the throttle is? It relies on the use of a throttle position sensor. This device determines the exact position of your car's throttle and relays the information to the engine control unit or ECU in the form of sensor signals. These signals are increasing or decreasing voltages that are produced depending on how much power is required by the driver from the engine. What the driver needs is determined by how much pressure is applied to the gas pedal. Through this process, the ECU determines what needs to be done to achieve optimum engine performance while the vehicle is on the road. Since it does a lot for you and your vehicle, the throttle position sensor is made from premium materials to keep it from breaking down quickly."

In 2004, the Atlantic Coast conference added two teams— Virginia Tech and Miami —expanding the league to 11 teams. At the time, college football teams were limited by the NCAA to 11 regular-season games, three or four of which typically featured teams outside the home team's conference. Following the 2004 season, the league added a 12th team— Boston College —and became eligible to hold a championship game at the conclusion of the 2005 season."

"text": "Posted August 29, 2012 06:19 pm Florida State football fun facts: National championship edition Charlie Ward led Florida State to its first national championship in 1993. Although Florida State has won but two national championships (one less than Florida, three less than Miami and depending on whether you count national titles awarded to Alabama by august bodies such as the Hueytown Touchdown Club, about 37 less than the Crimson Tide), the Seminoles always seemed to be in the conversation during the Bobby Bowden Era. FSU played for the national championship five times and could have made it as many more had they won that one key game during the season. Usually, it was the Miami Hurricanes destroying the dream but teams such as Florida, Southern Mississippi, Auburn, Clemson and Virginia played the spoiler. Win or lose, here are some fun facts involving Florida State's quests to sit at the top of the heap in college football:1. The Seminoles are 2-3 in post-season games that had a direct bearing on the national championship. They beat Nebraska 18-16 in 1993 and Virginia Tech 46-29 in 1999, and lost to Florida 52-20 in 1996, Tennessee 23-16 in 1998 and Oklahoma 13-2 in 2000.2. The best guess (taking polls into account), is that FSU could have played in six additional games for the national championship in the Bowden Era. In three of those games (1987, 1988 and 1994), losses to Miami kept FSU out of a potential national title game and in another (1997), a season-ending loss to Florida knocked the Seminoles out of consideration.3. Florida State played in the first three BCS national championship games, Tennessee in 1998, Virginia Tech in 1999 and Oklahoma in 2000.4."

"text": "Home → Collections → Neon Doubling With Deion: Sanders A Hit At Track May 19, 1987 | By Brian Schmitz of the Sentinel staff If there ever is an interoffice free-for-all among the football, baseball and track coaches at Florida State, ''Neon'' Deion Sanders will be to blame. Sanders is an athlete who can do wonders for any coach's job security, not to mention his popularity among alumni. Bidding, however, for Sanders' immense talents has reached new heights. Sanders was in Columbia, S. C., last weekend with the baseball squad to play right field in the Seminoles' quest for the Metro Conference title. He was on leave from the football team, where he stars at cornerback, returns punts and generally wows pro scouts. For the last two seasons defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews has repelled efforts by offensive coaches who have tried to sneak Sanders into the huddle. Last week Sanders was in Orlando to be photographed for Playboy's annual All-America football team, missing a couple of baseball games, much to the chagrin of Coach Mike Martin. Roberts' team also was in town, competing, in fact, right out behind the left-field wall for the conference trophy. His problem was that Arthur Blake, scheduled to run the second leg on his 400-meter relay team, was out with mononucleosis. Roberts knew Sanders was fast, at least in helmet and pads, and that he had been timed at 3.6 seconds from home to first."

"text": "\"Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports The Gold team defeated the Garnet in the 2015 edition of Florida State's spring game. What can we actually learn from a rainy inter-squad scrimmage featuring a bunch of guys you've never heard of that capped off a spring of struggle? You're in luck because I'm going to tell you. I n case you weren't aware, the Seminoles have collectively been in poor health this spring. With more than 25 guys missing time, many of whom were out Saturday afternoon, the first and primary takeaway from the Garnet and Gold Game is that anything and everything observed should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, George Campbell's first quarter catch and run for a touchdown was certainly electrifying, but its genius is somewhat tempered by the realization that he was surrounded by three third-string defenders who should have tackled him upon reception. We can certainly observe that Campbell has electric speed, much like we can feel confident in Jacques Patrick's explosiveness after seeing his early long run that was called back. But can we infer from these performances that these guys will be breaking long plays all over ACC defenses this coming fall? Let's pump the brakes there. N ow, that said, there were plenty of reasons for optimism even through this cautious lens."

While listening to NFL great Andre Ware, star David Johnson and motivational speaker ET The Hip-Hop Preacher speak to a room full of top high school football players and athletes about hard work and reaching their full potential, I started thinking about how many of the best players in different sports could have become elite players in other sports if they would have dedicated themselves to that sport. I then started thinking about a bunch of current and recent NBA players who were also gridiron stars during their prep days and probably could have been stars in the NFL.

"text": "Cheer Life, College Top 40 Colleges to Cheer June 28, 2015by Alex Gillespie If you are involved in cheerleading at all or are interested in trying it, you’ve probably seen multiple “best places to cheer in college” rankings. This, however, is a little different. Instead of ranking by who wins the most or who has the coolest uniforms or whatever criteria you have seen before, we decided to check out all aspects of various programs, give them points, then let the numbers do the ranking. We created four categories to use as our criteria. Scholarships offered: Schools that offer no scholarships get 0 points, and five points to schools that offer full rides and/or more than $1000 a year. Other scholarships amounts were awarded points based on what they were. Some schools scholarship information could not be found, so we worked them in where we felt they fell in the list regardless of the scholarship amounts. Academics: While we didn’t dive in to what kind of grades you need to get into the college or how hard the schools are, schools that offered a variety of majors with well respected programs received five points. Game day atmosphere: One of the coolest parts of cheering in college is being down on the field or on the sideline of games. For this category, five points were awarded to schools that have incredible game day atmospheres, the kind you hear about on TV."

(ALAN BYRD / AP)Safid Deen Contact Reporter Orlando Sentinel Privacy Policy Alabama has hired a Florida State Heisman Trophy winner, and his first assignment will be to help the Crimson Tide beat the Seminoles. Chris Weinke is joining Alabama’s football staff as an offensive analyst, according to a Wednesday report from The Tuscaloosa News. Weinke assumes the position after two seasons as a quarterbacks coach with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams. He previously served as Bradenton IMG Academy’s director of football for five years beforehand. Weinke brings a wealth of experience and connections on the recruiting trail to Alabama, which has lost Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and former FSU quarterback Clint Trickett from its offensive staff in recent weeks. Kiffin, Alabama’s former offensive coordinator, became head coach at Florida Atlantic, and hired Trickett, a former offensive analyst, away as a tight ends coach. Sarkisian turned his short-lived offensive coordinator role with Alabama into the same position with the Atlanta Falcons. Weinke, who played at FSU from 1997-2000 after a stint playing minor-league baseball, led the Seminoles to the 1999 national championship and became the oldest player to win a Heisman Trophy in 2000 at 28 years old. Florida State and Alabama will meet on Sept. 2 in Atlanta to open the 2017 season. CAPTIONEmail Safid Deen at [email protected]."

College football is very popular throughout much of the United States, and the top schools generate tens of millions of dollars in yearly revenue. [ 1] [2] Top FBS teams draw tens of thousands of fans to games, and the ten largest American stadiums by capacity all host FBS teams. College athletes are not paid, but colleges are allowed to provide players with non-monetary compensation such as athletic scholarships that provide for tuition, housing, and books. Unlike other NCAA divisions and subdivisions, the NCAA does not officially award an FBS football national championship, nor does it sanction a playoff tournament to determine such a champion on the field. Instead, organizations such as the Associated Press and AFCA have historically sought to rank the teams and crown a national champion, by taking a vote of sports writers and coaches, respectively. In place of such a playoff, various cities across the United States hold their own post-season contests, called bowl games, in which they traditionally invite teams to participate in them."

They've now admitted it. First, Victor Rojas came from behind and tackled referee Robert Watts to the ground. A second player, Michael Moreno, dived in headfirst -- leading with his helmet -- and hit Watts again. Moreno and Rojas, from John Jay High School in San Antonio, were ejected from the September 4 game against host Marble Falls High. They were suspended from school. No charges have been filed, but Marble Falls, Texas, police said they are investigating. But were the football players just following orders?"

"text": "\"College Football College Football Teams Best Represented at 2015 NFL Draft Brian Pedersen April 29, 2015Mike Mc Carn/Associated Press The ultimate goal of a college football player is to hear their name called during the NFL draft, a sign that years of hard work has paid off with a chance to play in the pros. It's a big deal for the teams to be mentioned on draft day as well, because that means they did their job turning high school athletes into professionals. It may not be a direct indication that the previous season was a success, but it can help ensure future prosperity on the recruiting trail. When the 2015 NFL draft gets underway Thursday, some schools will have their names called far more than others. These are the ones that produced the most NFL-level talent, and while that might indicate the upcoming year's team is going to have some major holes to fill, it in no way diminishes the pride that comes from seeing so many former players have their dreams fulfilled. Here's a look at the schools that will be best represented at the NFL draft, using Bleacher Report draft expert Matt Miller's final big board as a guide. Alabama1 of 11Brynn Anderson/Associated Press Potential draft picks: 8-10Likely first-round picks: 2-3First off the board (projected): Amari Cooper, WRAlabama has been well-represented in the draft throughout Nick Saban 's tenure, and this year is no different. Amari Cooper is just one of many talented Alabama products that will hear their names called this weekend, and he almost certainly won't be the only one getting picked during Thursday's first round. The school has had at least two players taken in the opening round in five straight drafts. \"\" The Crimson Tide has at least eight draft picks each of the last three seasons and if Alabama can produce eight draft picks in the 2015 class, it would mark the first time a collegiate program would achieve at least eight draft picks in four straight years since Notre Dame (1991-94),\"\" CBS Sports' Dane Brugler wrote."

"text": "\"Rory Bosio Doesn't Really Train In the grueling world of ultrarunning, she's an anomaly: a low-key athlete who thrives on unstructured training, competes by instinct, and crushes men in the sport's most prestigious race Nick Heil May 21, 2015When Rory Bosio, a 29-year-old pediatric intensive-care nurse from Truckee, California, lined up at the start of Chamonix's Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc in August 2013, she didn't expect to win. She had finished fourth in the women’s division the year before, on a snow-shortened 62-mile course. She had never won a major race, and to the small but tough field of women starting in 2013—like Catalonians Núria Picas and Emma Roca, top finishers in the Skyrunner World Series and the Marathon des Sables, respectively—Bosio was all but unknown. No ultramarathon is easy, but among the growing inventory of 100-milers, the UTMB is particularly fierce. A 104-mile loop that circumnavigates the 15,771-foot Mont Blanc massif, passing through France, Italy, and Switzerland, the route requires ten climbs that total some 31,500 vertical feet. The weather can be so bad, the course is sometimes rerouted or truncated at the last minute. Top times are just over 20 hours, but around half of the 2,300 racers don’t finish at all. Hal Koerner, winner of both the Hardrock 100 and the Western States 100, arguably the two most challenging ultras on U. S. soil, has completed the UTMB only once in three attempts. The year he did finish, 2011, it took him 40 hours and required him to wrap a ziplock bag around his testicles to guard against chafing. The lead pack at the 2013 UTMB took off at blistering, road-marathon speeds."

"text": "\"Budget Wine Hall of Fame: 24 Great Bottles for $20 or Less Maggie Hoffman Profile Twitter Contact26 Printer-Friendly Version The best wines on a budget. [ Photograph: Shutterstock]When you tell someone that you write about wine for a living, the first question they ask is: Are you drunk, like, all the time? ( Answer: Of course, because that makes for the best copyediting.) The second question they always ask is: What are the best wines you can buy on a budget? Do you have a secret to finding good wine deals? The answer isn't always exactly what they want to hear. While there are certainly still some steals to be found in the world of wine, randomly choosing bottles for $10 or less is likely going to result in disappointment. While you might happen upon a few cheap wines that outperform the price, too many are heavy and sweet or oddly bitter, with an edge of straight ethanol or an aftertaste of nail polish remover. At under $10, it's a case of getting what you pay for...or, more accurately, not getting what you're not paying for. Grapes cost money, land costs money, labor costs money, winemaking equipment costs money, bottles and corks or caps cost money, shipping and distribution costs money, and marketing costs money."

It is best known for its brisk, mineral white wines, made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape, though red and rose Sancerre, made from Pinot Noir, is increasingly popular. Just as in Chablis, the chalky-white Kimmeridgian soil is what really sets the wines apart from those in nearby appellations. Named after a town in Dorset which also shares this geological formation, Kimmeridgian soil is a combination of clay and limestone filled with billions of tiny, fossilized oyster shells. Unsurprisingly, Sancerre goes exceptionally well with oysters.– Description from juliabutareva Add description View descriptions »Articles Reviews Recipes Top Lists Charts There’s something new in French Sauvignon Blanc…With Christmas lunch now on the radar, Snoothers who enjoy cooking are already thinking about a wine match with the inevitable smoked salmon starter.

S. state of Michigan. The population was 3,086 at the 2010 census. The city is within the Mount Morris Township survey area, but is politically independent. It was named after Mount Morris, New York, because many of the early settlers had come from there. [ 6]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Geography3 Demographics3.1 2010 census3.2 2000 census4 Government5 External links6 References History [ edit]Benjamin Pearson was the first settler in the area in 1833. In 1836, Frederick Walker was the first to settle within the future village site. A post office named Mount Morris was established on July 11, 1837, with Charles N. Beecher as the first postmaster. The name of the office was changed to Genesee on January 19, 1839, and back to Mount Morris on April 25, 1857. The name became Mount Morris Station on April 17, 1865, and finally reverted to Mount Morris on March 9, 1874. Development was spurred with the building of a line of the Pere Marquette Railway (now owned by Saginaw Bay Southern Railway) in 1857."

Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park White House Ruins, Canyon de Chelly National Monument Horseshoe Tower in the snow, Hovenweep National Monument The Ancestral Puebloans were an ancient Native American culture that spanned the present-day Four Corners region of the United States, comprising southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. [ 1] The Ancestral Puebloans are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara Tradition, who developed from the Picosa culture. They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses, larger structures to house clans, grand pueblos, and cliff-sited dwellings for defense. The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers. They held a distinct knowledge of celestial sciences that found form in their architecture. The kiva, a congregational space that was used chiefly for ceremonial purposes, was an integral part of this ancient people's community structure. In contemporary times, the people and their archaeological culture were referred to as Anasazi for historical purposes. The Navajo, who were not their descendants, called them by this term."

Mont Blanc, the tallest peak in the Alps, is also well-known for its spectacular beauty. The Alps is a mountain range system that is located in Europe and stretches across Austria, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland covering a total distance of approximately 750 miles. This mountain range is the highest and the most extensive mountain range in Europe. The Alps contain about 100 peaks that have summits higher than 13 thousand feet. These mountain ranges were created over ten million years ago as the African and the Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Tallest Peaks in the Alps Mont Blanc Mont Blanc is the tallest peak in the Alps and stands at almost 16 thousand feet above the sea level. This mountain is located in both France and Italy, and it is ranked as the 11th highest peak in the world. The summit of this mountain is an ice and snow dome that is thick. This thickness varies and, as a result, the exact elevation of the summit can be determined."

As of the 2010 census, the population of the town was 58,732. Brookline was first settled in 1638 as a hamlet in Boston, but was incorporated as a separate town in 1705. Contents [ show]Etymology Edit Brookline was known as the hamlet of Muddy River and was considered a part of Boston until the Town of Brookline was independently incorporated in 1705. ( The Muddy River was used as the Brookline-Boston border at incorporation.) It is said that the name derives from a farm therein once owned by Judge Samuel Sewall. [ 2]Geography Edit According to the U. S. Census Bureau, Brookline has a total area of 6.8 square miles (17.7 km 2 ), of which, 6.8 square miles (17.6 km 2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km 2) of it (0.44%) is water. The northern part of Brookline, roughly north of the D-line tracks, is urban in character, as highly walkable and transit rich. The population density of this part of town is nearly 20,000 inhabitants per square mile (8,000 /km 2 ), on a par with the densest neighborhoods in nearby Cambridge, Somerville, and Chelsea, and just below that of central Boston's residential districts (Back Bay, South End, Fenway, etc.). The overall density of Brookline, which also includes suburban districts and grand estates south of the D-line, is higher than that of many of the largest cities in the United States, especially in the South and West."

Rose Lincoln/Harvard Staff Photographer John A. Paulson gives $400 million to endow School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, securing vision for Allston-based innovation Date June 3, 2015Email Facebook Twitter Linked In Harvard announced today that alumnus John A. Paulson, M. B. A. ’80, founder and president of Paulson & Co., has made the largest gift in the University’s history, a $400 million endowment to support the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). To honor his generosity, the School will be renamed the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Paulson’s gift comes at a time of great opportunity for SEAS. Founded in 1847 as the Lawrence Scientific School, it later became the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences and then, in 2007, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Since becoming a School, SEAS has added three undergraduate concentrations (biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering) and a master’s program in computational science and engineering, the faculty has grown by nearly 30 percent, and course enrollment has increased by nearly 150 percent. The School is also planning for expansion into Allston, where its scientists and engineers will occupy state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities within a campus anchored by science and adjacent to Harvard Business School (HBS) and the Harvard Innovation Lab (i-lab). In Allston, SEAS will be at the center of a community of entrepreneurs and innovators in an emerging research enterprise zone."

"text": "\"Difference Between DDS and DMD• Categorized under Health | Difference Between DDS and DMDDDS vs DMDThe difference between Doctor of Dental surgery (DDS) and Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) can be thought of as a matter of semantics. Although most dental schools award the DDS degree, some do award the DMD degree. The program content for both degrees is quite similar and the training students receive on either program similar. History In times long past, medicine had two divisions namely the surgery group and the medicine group. The surgery division specifically dealt with treating ailments using instruments while the medicine group dealt with healing diseases with medicine. In the US there was, originally, only the DDS degree which was being awarded by autonomous dentistry schools that were more like schools of apprenticeship without any university affiliation. But the case wasn’t the same when Harvard added a dental school in 1867. Degrees were awarded only in Latin and the DDS degree wasn’t adopted because Harvard people thought its Latin translation was quite burdensome. A Latin scholar who was consulted suggested that the ancient Medicinae Doctor be prefixed with Dentariae and that marked the beginning of ‘Dentariae Medicinae Doctor ‘ or DMD. Currently Within different circles, including political and academic, those pushing for the DDS argue that it represents the ‘surgery’ aspect of treatment given majority of dental treatment procedures involve putting out a part of the mouth like a tooth."

Human resource management People Before Strategy: A New Role for the CHRORam Charan Dominic Barton Dennis Carey From the July–August 2015 Issue SUMMARY SAVE SHARE COMMENT TEXT SIZE PRINT 8.95 BUY COPIESView more from the July–August 2015 Issue Explore the Archive CEOs know that they depend on their company’s human resources to achieve success. Businesses don’t create value; people do. But if you peel back the layers at the vast majority of companies, you find CEOs who are distanced from and often dissatisfied with their chief human resources officers (CHROs) and the HR function in general. Research by Mc Kinsey and the Conference Board consistently finds that CEOs worldwide see human capital as a top challenge, and they rank HR as only the eighth or ninth most important function in a company. That has to change. It’s time for HR to make the same leap that the finance function has made in recent decades and become a true partner to the CEO. Just as the CFO helps the CEO lead the business by raising and allocating financial resources, the CHRO should help the CEO by building and assigning talent, especially key people, and working to unleash the organization’s energy. Managing human capital must be accorded the same priority that managing financial capital came to have in the 1980s, when the era of the “super CFO” and serious competitive restructuring began. CEOs might complain that their CHROs are too bogged down in administrative tasks or that they don’t understand the business."

Son and grandson of Protestant divines, Emerson attended Harvard College and Harvard Divinity School, entering the Unitarian ministry in 1829. There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion;…The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self Reliance,” Essays, First Series, 1841. Ralph Waldo Emerson… c1884. Prints & Photographs Division A popular, if unconventional preacher, young Emerson’s sermons consisted of personal reflections on spirituality and virtue. He avoided expounding doctrine or engaging in scriptural exegesis. Increasingly dissatisfied with traditional protestant theology, Emerson resigned from the ministry in 1832. By the end of the decade, however, he was the leading exponent of transcendentalism, a philosophy that maintains the universality of creation, upholds the intrinsic goodness of man, and grounds truth in personal insight. From the 1830s on, Emerson and a group of like-minded thinkers including Bronson Alcott, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Elizabeth Palmer Peabody were based in Concord, Massachusetts."

However this nomenclature and these categories of divisional play have only existed since 2006 and 1978, respectively. Prior to the formation of the NCAA in 1906, there was no differentiation between the level of play from one college to another, and thus all intercollegiate teams can be thought of as having played in the same division. Likewise, even after the formation of the NCAA, there was no differentiation into divisions until 1956, when play was separated in the upper \"\"University\"\" division and lower \"\"Collegiate\"\" division. In 1973, a three division reorganization occurred placing teams into NCAA Division I (highest), Division II, or Division III (lowest). In 1978, Division I was further subdivided into Division I-A (highest) and Division I-AA. In 2006, these subdivisions were renamed Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), respectively.

The town was renamed for Cambridge, England, in 1638 and became a county seat in 1643. The old part of Cambridge (around Harvard Square) is regarded as a symbol of American culture and history. It was there that the general synods of the New England churches met in 1637 and 1647 to settle disputed points of doctrine and, from there, that the Reverend Thomas Hooker ’s congregation departed for Connecticut in 1636. At the outbreak of the American Revolution, the first American army camped at what is now Cambridge Common, where George Washington assumed leadership of the Continental forces on July 3, 1775. The first Massachusetts Constitutional Convention met in Cambridge in 1779–80. Cambridge Cambridge, Mass. Shinkukin Early industrial development was slow.

However, the ultimate objective of the Harvard Economics Ph D program is to produce successful economic researchers, so demonstrating the ability to do research is an important criterion. This could be accomplished by either having done research previously or via experience as a research assistant. In the latter instance, a letter from the supervisor indicating the ability to do research is critical. Mathematical preparation: The minimum level of mathematical preparation to be considered includes calculus and linear algebra and demonstration of proficiency with mathematics. Increasingly, successful applicants will have taken more mathematics. In particular, most successful applicants now take real analysis, although that is not a requirement. We do not require a minimum GRE score, however among students admitted in the last few years, scores ranged in the 97th percentile."

Division 1 vs 2 vs 3Posted by Justin Berkman | Aug 21, 2015 6:54:18 PMCollege Admissions Generally speaking, NCAA divisions separate schools by the level of competition and the resources of their athletic departments. Most collegiate sporting events you see on television, from March Madness to the College World Series, are competitions between Division I schools. Division I offers the highest level of competition and Division I schools' athletic departments have the biggest budgets. Division III is the lowest level of competition in the NCAA, and Division III schools tend to have the smallest athletic department budgets. In this article, I'll break down the differences between NCAA divisions to give you a better idea of what separates Division I, II, and III schools. For those of you who wish to participate in intercollegiate athletics, you can get an idea of which division would best suit your interests and abilities.

Founded in 1701, it is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution. [ 6]Chartered by Connecticut Colony, the \"\"Collegiate School\"\" was established by clergy in Saybrook Colony to educate Congregational ministers. It moved to New Haven in 1716 and shortly after was renamed Yale College in recognition of a gift from British East India Company governor Elihu Yale. Originally restricted to theology and sacred languages, the curriculum began to incorporate humanities and sciences by the time of the American Revolution. In the 19th century, the school introduced graduate and professional instruction, awarding the first Ph. D. in the United States in 1861 and organizing as a university in 1887. [ 7] Its faculty and student populations grew rapidly after 1890 with rapid expansion of the physical campus and scientific research."

By definition, all schools in this grouping have varsity football teams. Schools in Division I FBS are distinguished from those in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) by being allowed to provide scholarship aid to a total of 85 players, and may grant a full scholarship to all 85. FCS schools are limited to financial assistance amounting to a maximum of 63 full scholarships, although some conferences voluntarily place further restrictions on athletic aid. The NCAA classifies FBS football as a \"\"head-count\"\" sport, meaning that each player receiving any athletically-related aid from the school counts fully against the 85-player limit. By contrast, FCS football is classified as an \"\"equivalency\"\" sport, which means that scholarship aid is limited to the equivalent of a specified number of full scholarships. In turn, this means that FCS schools can freely grant partial scholarships, but are also limited to a total of 85 players receiving assistance. Another NCAA rule mandates that any multi-sport athlete who plays football and receives any athletic aid is counted against the football limit, with an exception for players in non-scholarship FCS programs who receive aid in another sport. The three service academies that play in Division I FBS — Air Force, Army, and Navy — are theoretically subject to this rule, but are exempt in practice because all students at these schools receive full scholarships from the federal government. Starting in 2014, the FBS began playing a four-team tournament culminating in a National Championship Game to determine its national champion, a system that will be in place from the 2014-2025 seasons by contract with ESPN, broadcaster of the games."

The undergraduate enrollment is approximately 2,100 students. Colonel Williams had not intended to found a college. En route with his regiment of Massachusetts militia to join the battle with the French and Indians at Lake George, the Colonel had tarried long enough in Albany to write his last will and testament on July 22, 1755. In it he bequeathed his residuary estate for the founding and support of a free school in West Township, where for some years he had commanded a detachment of militia at Fort Massachusetts, farthest outpost of the province. The will stipulated that West Township, then in dispute between Massachusetts and New York, must fall within Massachusetts and that the name of the township must be changed to Williamstown, if the free school was to be established at all. On September 8, 1755, Colonel Williams was killed at the Battle of Lake George. On October 26, 1791, after many delays, fifteen scholars were admitted to the free school in Williamstown."

The Early Days The team boasts a colorful history! Its fans have known the club as the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cardinals, Racine Cardinals, the Normals, and the Morgan Athletic Club. The team began as a neighborhood group that gathered to play football in a predominantly Irish area of Chicago's South Side, playing under the name Morgan Athletic Club. The team later was acquired by Chris O'Brien, a painting and decorating contractor, and soon its playing site changed to nearby Normal Field, prompting the new name Normals. In 1901, the team gained longstanding identification when O'Brien, finding a bargain, bought used jerseys from the nearby University of Chicago. The jerseys were faded maroon in color, prompting O'Brien to declare, \"\"That's not maroon, it's Cardinal red!\"\" The club's permanent nickname had been born!The jersey color and the location of the field led to a new and obvious name, the Racine Cardinals. In Chicago at the time, football competition was exclusively amateur, but such opposition became increasingly hard to find, so in 1906, the team disbanded. In 1913, O'Brien reorganized the Cardinals."

Ivy League Established 1954Association NCAADivision Division ISubdivision FCSMembers 8Sports fielded33men's: 17 women's: 16Region Northeast Headquarters Princeton, New Jersey Commissioner Robin Harris [1] (since 2009)Website ivyleaguesports .com Locations The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising sports teams from eight private universities in the Northeastern United States. The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group beyond the sports context. [ 2] The eight members are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University. The term Ivy League has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. While the term was in use as early as 1933, it became official only after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954. [ 3] Seven of the eight schools were founded during the United States colonial period; Cornell was founded in 1865. Ivy League institutions account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution; the other two are Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary. Ivy League schools are generally viewed as some of the most prestigious, and are ranked among the best universities worldwide by U. S. News & World Report. ["

"text": "\"College Football College Football: 25 Underrated Stadiums and Other Places To Watch Games Amy Daughters August 25, 2010Leon Halip/Getty Images Seems like everyone these days is compiling a “bucket list” of some kind: travel destinations, dream experiences, giving money to a specific charity, personal challenges, family goals, etc. But on every college football enthusiasts' list of “must do’s” there are inevitably a group of stadiums they would absolutely love to visit on game day. The Horseshoe, the Big House, Happy Valley, the Swamp, the checkerboard end zones of Neyland Stadium in Tennessee, Darrel K. Royal in Austin, Death Valley, “Between the Hedges” in Athens, Bryant-Denny in Tuscaloosa, Notre Dame Stadium, Memorial in Lincoln or Norman; the list could go on but you get the general idea. But what of those stadiums we don’t hear as much about, those hidden gems where college football flourishes without the media reminding us every week what an illustrious venue it is for the greatest game? These underrated places may be found on smaller campuses in smaller conferences or they may be the forgotten jewels of the larger conference in a state where they are overshadowed by a more media saturated program, but they all offer the college football fan an experience to be relished. Whether the game is good or just average these venues might offer a brush with history, spectacular views of football (and maybe the surrounding area), a distinctive setting, a loud and rowdy crowd, extraordinary tailgating, or a really horrible facility that you just can’t help but appreciate. No matter what the combination of factors, these football locations basically provide the opportunity for a phenomenal (and maybe unique) football experience. So, what are the most “underrated” places to watch a college football game? First, it seems prudent to mention that selecting every “underrated” place to watch a college football game is virtually impossible as the landscape of our nation is literally covered with such meccas. Additionally, the selection of “preferred” venues is obviously a highly subjective task."

The university coat of arms features a dolphin on the red chief, adopted directly from the Franklin family's own coat of arms. [ 6] Penn was one of the first academic institutions to follow a multidisciplinary model pioneered by several European universities, concentrating multiple \"\" faculties \"\" (e.g., theology, classics, medicine) into one institution. [ 7] It was also home to many other educational innovations. The first school of medicine in North America ( Perelman School of Medicine, 1765), the first collegiate business school ( Wharton School, 1881) and the first \"\" student union \"\" building and organization ( Houston Hall, 1896) [8] were founded at Penn.

For example, Alabama has a better winning percentage than Yale, Texas and Nebraska, but all three of those schools played more games in the early days of the sport and therefore claim more all-time wins.

"text": "\"Salary of an Ivy League Basketball Coach By Leonard Dozier; Updated September 28, 2017Although Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Brown are known for their strong academic reputations, these schools also participate in Division I collegiate basketball. As such, head coaches for Ivy League schools are paid well -- although not nearly as well as the head coaches of large non-Ivy League schools. In fact, their earnings do not reach six figures. The Basics College basketball is a spectator sport. As such, the Bureau of Labor Statistics lists the average salary for coaches in spectator sports at $60,610 as of 2010. In spite of coaching for amateur teams, Ivy League coaches, along with other collegiate coaches, are professional coaches who are paid accordingly. A Closer Look An April 2011 article for the \"\"Brown Daily Herald\"\" reports that head coaches at Brown earn $18,000 less than the league average and $14,000 less than the second lowest paying school, Dartmouth. Cornell pays the highest salaries to its head coaches, offering an average of $91,368, according to the article. The average overall salary for Ivy League head coaches is $81,788.

These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation. How the Ivy League Was Formed The term “Ivy League” came about in 1954, when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University. This school is located in the Boston, Massachusetts, area. Yale was formed in 1702 by a benefactor by the name of Elihu Yale."

"text": "Federalism First published Sun Jan 5, 2003; substantive revision Tue Mar 4, 2014Federalism is the theory or advocacy of federal principles for dividing powers between member units and common institutions. Unlike in a unitary state, sovereignty in federal political orders is non-centralized, often constitutionally, between at least two levels so that units at each level have final authority and can be self governing in some issue area. Citizens thus have political obligations to, or have their rights secured by, two authorities. The division of power between the member unit and center may vary, typically the center has powers regarding defense and foreign policy, but member units may also have international roles. The decision-making bodies of member units may also participate in central decision-making bodies. Much recent philosophical attention is spurred by renewed political interest in federalism, coupled with empirical findings concerning the requisite and legitimate basis for stability and trust among citizens in federal political orders. Philosophical contributions have addressed the dilemmas and opportunities facing Canada, Australia, Europe, Russia, Iraq, Nepal and Nigeria, to mention just a few areas where federal arrangements are seen as interesting solutions to accommodate differences among populations divided by ethnic or cultural cleavages yet seeking a common, often democratic, political order.1.

This means that FBS independents are not required to schedule each other for competition like conference schools do. There are many fewer independent schools than in years past; many independent schools join, or attempt to join, established conferences. The main reasons to join a conference are to gain a share of television revenue and access to bowl games that agree to take teams from certain conferences, and to help deal with otherwise potentially difficult challenges in scheduling opponents to play throughout the season. All Division I FBS independents are eligible for the College Football Playoff (CFP), or for the so-called \"\"access bowls\"\" associated with the CFP, if they are chosen by the CFP selection committee. Notre Dame has a potential tie-in with the Orange Bowl. Army has an agreement with the Military Bowl (formerly the Eagle Bank Bowl), [1] and Notre Dame, in addition to its CFP agreement, has other bowl agreements as part of its affiliation with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

Diller Special thanks to Jon Marthaler (St. Paul, MN) and Jeff Church (Alpharetta, GA) for their research/validation efforts!Years ago, I encountered one of the world's greatest sports trivia questions... and I've used it to shut the mouths of even the most egotistical of \"\"sports braggards\"\" I've come across since then, and now I feel that the time has come for me to share it with you. Can you name the NCAA schools (Divisions I, II, and III) whose OFFICIAL team nicknames do NOT end with the letter 's'? There's quite a few... currently, 68 schools share this distinction ( NOT including the 3 schools that USED to belong on this list). There are 27 in D-I, 10 in D-II, and 31 in D-III (including five D-III women-only schools). For this question, precision is VERY important! For example, Georgia Tech fans often refer to their team as \"\"The Rambling Wreck,\"\" and Auburn fans use \"\"War Eagle\"\" as their battle cry, but these are NOT their OFFICIAL nicknames (as recognized by the NCAA). Furthermore, I'm sure there are myriad other schools with mascots & nicknames that don't end in 's'... but are they an NCAA member institution in Division I, II or III? The following table features a list of the current NCAA institutions whose OFFICIAL nicknames do not end with the letter 's'... as of September 1, 2006. And just in case you doubt any of these, I've included a link to each school's varsity athletics website... just click on the school's logo to prove it to yourself. You can also download an Excel spreadsheet of this list, in case you'd like to sort it further (by state or conference, etc.)."

A source close to Bowden confirmed on Thursday that the athletic standout is finalizing a transfer to Warren Harding High School after spending the last two years at Liberty High School. One area football coach in attendance at the Jack Arvin Football Classic in Niles said he saw Bowden “leading the [Harding] team on to the field” at a local camp last week. Multiple coaches are speculating the transfer is a done deal. The move was triggered by the dismissal of former Liberty football coach Kevin Cylar in late March. Bowden, along with many of the Leopard football players, protested the school’s decision not to renew Cylar’s contract and were suspended as a result of an organized walk-out. When news that Cylar wasn’t going to be returning to coach the Leopards first surfaced, Bowden told the Vindicator “I’m not happy at all. ”At the time, Bowden also said he would consider leaving Liberty if Cylar was not re-hired. “I would do anything to get coach Kev his job back,” Bowden said in March. “ It’s crazy."

In 1894, college president William M. Beardshear spearheaded the foundation of an athletic association to officially sanction Iowa State football teams. The 1894 team finished with a 6–1 mark, including a 16–8 victory over what is now the University of Iowa. [ 3]One of the pioneers of football, Pop Warner, spent time at Iowa State early in his career. In 1895 despite already being the coach at Georgia he was offered $25 per week to come to Iowa State, whose season started in mid-August while Georgia's started a month later, as well as to provide weekly advice during the rest of the season. [ 4] Soon after Warner left for Georgia, Iowa State had its first game of the season."

"text": "Democracy First published Thu Jul 27, 2006Normative democratic theory deals with the moral foundations of democracy and democratic institutions. It is distinct from descriptive and explanatory democratic theory. It does not offer in the first instance a scientific study of those societies that are called democratic. It aims to provide an account of when and why democracy is morally desirable as well as moral principles for guiding the design of democratic institutions. Of course, normative democratic theory is inherently interdisciplinary and must call on the results of political science, sociology and economics in order to give this kind of concrete guidance. This brief outline of normative democratic theory focuses attention on four distinct issues in recent work. First, it outlines some different approaches to the question of why democracy is morally desirable at all. Second, it explores the question of what it is reasonable to expect from citizens in large democratic societies. This issue is central to the evaluation of normative democratic theories as we will see. A large body of opinion has it that most classical normative democratic theory is incompatible with what we can reasonably expect from citizens."

"text": "Libertarianism, political philosophy that takes individual liberty to be the primary political value. It may be understood as a form of liberalism, the political philosophy associated with the English philosophers John Locke and John Stuart Mill, the Scottish economist Adam Smith, and the American statesman Thomas Jefferson. Liberalism seeks to define and justify the legitimate powers of government in terms of certain natural or God-given individual rights. These rights include the rights to life, liberty, private property, freedom of speech and association, freedom of worship, government by consent, equality under the law, and moralautonomy (the ability to pursue one’s own conception of happiness, or the “good life”). The purpose of government, according to liberals, is to protect these and other individual rights, and in general liberals have contended that government power should be limited to that which is necessary to accomplish this task. Libertarians are classical liberals who strongly emphasize the individual right to liberty. They contend that the scope and powers of government should be constrained so as to allow each individual as much freedom of action as is consistent with a like freedom for everyone else. Thus, they believe that individuals should be free to behave and to dispose of their property as they see fit, provided that their actions do not infringe on the equal freedom of others. John Locke, oil on canvas by Herman Verelst, 1689; in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group/REX/Shutterstock.com Historical origins Liberalism and libertarianism have deep roots in Western thought."

By Jackie Burrell Updated 12/11/17Share Pin Email Ronald Martinez / Getty Images Colleges that belong to the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA designate themselves as Division I, II or III, according to NCAA guidelines about the number of teams, team size, game calendar and financial support. Within the world of college sports, Division I is the most intense and III the least. Students who enjoy sports but who do not qualify (or want) to play at a highly competitive level might explore club sports and intramural options too. Intramural and club sports are excellent ways to meet other students and get involved in campus life. NCAA Division IDivision I is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the U. S. D-I schools comprise the major athletic powers in the college division, with larger budgets, more advanced facilities, and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III or smaller schools that are competitive in athletics. In 2014, student athletes and the NCAA and debated whether they should be paid. The students said that their many hours devoted to their sport along with the money they brought it, justify their receipt of payment. In fact, Division I athletic programs generated $8.7 billion in revenue in 2009–2010. The NCAA turned down student-athletes' request for payment, but instead approved unlimited free meals and snacks."

On a dim morning in early February, pro Stephen Johnston and I set out onto Lake Amistad to see if there was anything the Hemphill, Texas, angler might do to catch a respectable stringer after a sharp cold front sent prespawn fish into a frustrating funk. Prepping for weather With Johnston's father, Wayne, joining us, we launch at the campground ramp off Highway 277 at around 8 a.m. A drizzly rain has just started to dry up about the time the trailer splashes in, but it looks as if we'll never see the sun this day. A cold, damp weather system pushing across south Texas has brought declining temperatures and increasing winds.

In turn, there are a lot of leagues and competitions to keep straight — such as last Tuesday’s UEFA Super Cup, which frankly sounds like something borrowed from a video game — making it a challenge to jump right in follow the sport without some hand-holding … or some sort of glib Internet “guide. ”And yes, on the subject of video games, the FIFA series will actually help you get a better grasp of of the names, teams, leagues. If you can track down an old Soccer Yearbook written by David Goldblatt, filled with many useful maps of each country and in some cases particular cities, all the better. Using Wikipedia as a crib sheet doesn’t hurt either, since most clubs participate in numerous concurrent competitions rather than the standard: preseason –> regular season –> playoffs we’re accustomed to in North American pro sports. Even something as simple as the club’s name — often lacking the city of origin — or the way the seasons are archived — this year is considered “2014-15” for example — can take some adjustment. ( Remember league = regular season; Cups = knockout tournaments.) Adding yet another wrinkle, unlike our static American pro leagues, most European leagues consist of promotion and relegation up-and-down each country’s league pyramid. ("

The Wildcats' 2015-16 schedule will once again meet that demand as Calipari announced a 13-game non-conference schedule on Thursday that features 10 games against teams who advanced to the postseason a season ago. That list includes national champion Duke in the third game of the season at the Champions Classic in the United Center in Chicago on Nov. 17. In all, the Wildcats will take on six NCAA Tournament squads, two NIT participants and two teams that advanced to at least the quarterfinals of the College Insider.com Tournament. The average final RPI of the teams comes in at 105, with five teams in the all-important top 50 of the RPI.“Putting a schedule together, especially one like this, is fun,” Calipari said. “ Having to play those games is a different story. To understate it, this will obviously be a challenging schedule for a young team like ours, which lost more than 85 percent of its scoring and nearly 80 percent of its rebounding. We're excited for the challenge. ”In addition to Duke, the Wildcats will also take on powerhouses such as UCLA, Ohio State, Kansas and the annual rivalry game with Louisville. Along the way, UK will make marquee stops in the aforementioned United Center, Brooklyn at the Barclays Center, and Miami in the Heat's American Airlines Arena."

Held each March, the Women's Championship was inaugurated in the 1981–82 season. The NCAA tournament was preceded by the AIAW Women's Basketball Tournament, which was held annually from 1972 to 1982. Basketball was one of 12 women's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981–82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women for sole governance of women's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same 12 (and other) sports; however, after a year of dual women's championships, the NCAA prevailed, while the AIAW disbanded. Attendance and interest in the Women's Division I Championship have grown over the years, especially from 2003 to 2016, when the final championship game was moved to the Tuesday following the Monday men's championship game.

From 1982 to 1990, 1996 to 2002, and since 2017 the Women's Final Four is usually played on the Friday before the Men's Final Four or the hours before the men played on the final Saturday of the tournament. The final was usually played the Sunday afternoon following the Men's Final Four; since 2017, Sunday evening."

As the head coach at U of L, Crum is widely credited with pioneering the now-common strategy of scheduling tough non-conference match-ups early in the season in order to prepare his teams for March's NCAA tournament, where one defeat ends the season. Crum's prolific post-season play and calm demeanor earned him the monikers \"\"Mr. March\"\" and his most well-known nickname, \"\" Cool Hand Luke . \"\" Contents [ hide ]1 Playing career2 Coaching career2.1 University of Louisville, 1971–20012.2 Other coaching2.3 Coaching style2.4 Retirement3 Radio career4 Head coaching record5 Honors6 Personal life7 See also8 References Playing career [ edit]Denzel Edwin Crum was born in San Fernando, California.

During the four-year reclassification, NKU was not eligible for Division I championships.

"text": "Tweet A “players-first” coach with a penchant for helping people reach their dreams, John Calipari, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, has guided six teams to the Final Four, led one to a national championship and helped 42 players earn selection in the NBA Draft during his 25-year college coaching career. From UMass to Memphis and now Kentucky, Calipari’s career has been successful throughout, but his most recent run in Lexington has been the best stretch of his career. In advancing to the 2015 Final Four, Coach Cal became one of just three coaches all-time to make four Final Fours in a five-year span, joining Mike Krzyzewski and John Wooden as the other coaches to achieve that feat. Twice at UK (in 2012 and in 2015) his teams have won 38 games, tying his 2008 Memphis team for the most wins in college basketball history. At the end of the 2014-15 season, Calipari became the 96th coach to join the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, considered to be one of the ultimate achievements in the game. Kentucky: The Gold Standard Calipari reached the mountaintop in his third year in Lexington, guiding Kentucky to its eighth national championship and his first national title. He is one of only two coaches to lead three different schools to a Final Four (UMass-1996; Memphis-2008; Kentucky-2011, 2012, 2014, 2015). The Wildcats rode the trademark hard-nosed Calipari defense to the 2012 title, finishing the season as the nation’s top-ranked team in field-goal percentage defense and blocked shots. Kentucky lost three members of its 2011 Final Four team (two to the draft, one to graduation), but Calipari reloaded with the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class for the third straight season. Included in the class were eventual National Player of the Year Anthony Davis and All-American Michael Kidd-Gilchrist."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Hoosier Hysteria is the state of excitement surrounding basketball in Indiana, or more specifically the Indiana high school basketball tournament. [ 1] In part, the excitement stemmed from the inclusion of all tournament entrants into the same tournament, where a small town's David might knock off a large city's Goliath. The most famous example occurred in 1954, when Milan (enrollment 161) defeated Muncie Central (enrollment over 1,600) to win the State title. The plot of the now famous movie, Hoosiers, was based on the story of the 1954 Milan team and seems to typify the hysteria related to basketball in the state of Indiana. Indiana's passion for basketball was observed and written about by basketball's inventor, James Naismith. In 1925, Naismith visited an Indiana basketball state finals game along with 15,000 screaming fans and later wrote, that while it was invented in Massachusetts, \"\"basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport.\"\" Hoosiers have a traditional love for basketball similar to that of Texans or Ohioans for football, Pennsylvanians for wrestling, and Minnesotans for ice hockey.

Through the 2009-2010 NBA season, 152 Hoosier athletes have played professional basketball in the world's top league. Considering the size of the state (population 6.4 million), [2] this makes Indiana high schools by far the most successful at developing NBA players per capita. ["

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( April 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In basketball, a double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in one of five statistical categories— points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots —in a game. Multiple players usually score double-digit points in any given basketball game; the double nomenclature is usually reserved for when a player has double-digit totals in more than one category. A double-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in two of the statistical five categories in a game. The most common double-double combination is points-rebounds, followed by points-assists. Since the 1983–84 season, Tim Duncan leads the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the points-rebounds combination with 840, and John Stockton leads the points-assists combination with 714. A triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories in a game. The most common way to achieve a triple-double is through points, rebounds, and assists. Oscar Robertson leads the all-time NBA list with 181 career triple-doubles and is, with Russell Westbrook, one of only two players ever to average a triple-double for a season."

In 1998 he started working in Library Photographic Services, but continued shooting for Sports Information into the 2000s. I am dedicating this blog post, as I have each year since his departure, to Bill who, like Hugh Morton, was an avid UNC basketball fan.

UNC’s Mitch Kupchak watches Davis’s shot in anticipation. ( Hugh Morton photograph, cropped by the author. ) In 1975, the UNC men’s basketball team found itself in the NCAA Tournament once again—not because it was yet another year in a long string of consecutive appearances, but because the team did not make the big dance the previous two years. Charlotte hosted the East Regional games in 1973, which was the final year of the NCAA University Division Basketball Tournament; UNC, however, was MIA because they played in the NIT in NYC."

[ Digital ID# cph 3c26579]After the abolition of slavery in the United States, three Constitutional amendments were passed to grant newly freed African Americans legal status: the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth provided citizenship, and the Fifteenth guaranteed the right to vote. In spite of these amendments and civil rights acts to enforce the amendments, between 1873 and 1883 the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions that virtually nullified the work of Congress during Reconstruction. Regarded by many as second-class citizens, blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed forces, and schools in both Northern and Southern states. In 1896 the Supreme Court sanctioned legal separation of the races by its ruling in H. A. Plessy v. J. H. Ferguson, which held that separate but equal facilities did not violate the U. S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment. Beginning in 1909, a small group of activists organized and founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)."

It was released worldwide in August 2016 for Play Station 4 and Microsoft Windows, while an Xbox One version is scheduled for release in mid-2018. The game is built around four pillars: exploration, survival, combat, and trading. Players are free to perform within the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open universe, which includes over 18 quintillion planets. Through the game's procedural generation system, planets have their own ecosystems with unique forms of flora and fauna, and various sentient alien species may engage the player in combat or trade within planetary systems. Players advance in the game by mining for resources to power and improve their spacecraft, tools, and spacesuit for survival, buying and selling resources using credits earned by documenting flora and fauna, and otherwise seeking out the mystery around the Atlas, an entity at the center of the universe. The founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, had wanted to create a game that captured the sense of exploration and optimism of science fiction writings and art of the 1970s and 1980s with No Man's Sky. The game was developed over three years by a small team at Hello Games with promotional and publishing help from Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was seen as an ambitious project by a small team by the gaming media, and Murray and Hello Games drew significant attention and hype leading to its release. At release, the game was found to be lacking several features that Murray had stated would be present from earlier interviews, particularly multiplayer capabilities, though Murray had tried to downplay expectations prior to launch."

The history of paleontology in the United States refers to the developments and discoveries regarding fossils found within or by people from the United States of America. Local paleontology began informally with Native Americans, who have been familiar with fossils for thousands of years. They both told myths about them and applied them to practical purposes. African slaves also contributed their knowledge; the first reasonably accurate recorded identification of vertebrate fossils in the new world was made by slaves on a South Carolina plantation who recognized the elephant affinities of mammoth molars uncovered there in 1725. The first major fossil discovery to attract the attention of formally trained scientists were the Ice Age fossils of Kentucky's Big Bone Lick. These fossils were studied by eminent intellectuals like France's George Cuvier and local statesmen and frontiersman like Daniel Boone, Benjamin Franklin, William Henry Harrison, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. By the end of the 18th century possible dinosaur fossils had already been found. By the beginning of the 19th, their fossil footprints definitely had. Later in the century as more dinosaur fossils were uncovered eminent paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh were embroiled in a bitter rivalry to collect the most fossils and name the most new prehistoric species."

In addition to schools that received the \"\"death penalty\"\" from the NCAA, some schools voluntarily dropped sports programs for extended periods of time due to high-profile scandals. The most notable examples were in 1951, when Long Island University (LIU) shut down its entire athletic program for six years following the involvement of its men's basketball team in a point shaving scandal, and in the 1980s, when two other Division I men's basketball programs, at the University of San Francisco (1982–1985) and Tulane University (1985–1989), self-imposed \"\"death penalties\"\" after revelations of major NCAA violations. The next self-imposed \"\"death penalty\"\" by a Division I school took place in 2015, when Western Kentucky University (WKU) shut down its men's and women's swimming and diving teams after an investigation into alleged hazing."

"text": "The Apex of God’s Grace: The Doctrine of Adoption Doctrines of Salvationby Dr. Van Lees In the last three articles dealing with justification by faith alone, we observed that justification is a legal declaration of God in which a person’s sins are forgiven and Christ’s righteousness is imputed to him being received by faith alone. We also noted that justification and true saving faith are demonstrated in a person’s life by the fruits they produce; if a person claims to have saving faith and be justified before God, but has no subsequent works, that claim to faith is spurious. This article deals with another legal declarative work of God, the doctrine of adoption. The believer’s adoption into God’s family occurs simultaneously with justification. At the same time God declares a sinner not guilty and righteous, he also adopts him into his family. The doctrine of adoption encapsulates the apex of God’s mercy toward those who deserve his judgment and wrath. Instead of pouring out his wrath on those who justly deserve it, God elects them to salvation with the goal of election being their adoption into his family (Eph. 1:4-6), regenerates their hearts, grants them faith and repentance, and justifies and adopts them into his family. The doctrine of adoption is an extraordinary manifestation of God’s mercy and love to his people. Surprisingly, very little has been written on this doctrine throughout church history."

It’s the difference between good and great. If you want to be great, you better be focusing on the mental part of it and the imagery part of it…” Romanowski described how using imagery (visualizing himself making interceptions, fumbles, sacks…over and over again in his head before the game) was what “fuelled his success” on the field.

Acosta is expected to have an easier path to confirmation than Andrew Puzder, who withdrew from consideration on Feb. 15. While it is difficult to predict how Acosta might steer the DOL if confirmed by the Senate, his work at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) may offer some insight. Acosta served in three presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed positions from 2002 to 2009. Each appointment was made by President George W. Bush. From December 2002 to August 2003, Acosta served as an NLRB member and participated in more than 125 opinions. ADVERTISEMENT While serving on the NLRB, Acosta took a primarily conservative approach that favored employers. In a decision on a Wal-Mart case in 2003, Acosta participated in a majority opinion ruling that the retail giant did not illegally solicit and resolve employee grievances in an effort to dissuade workers from unionizing. The majority reasoned that Wal-Mart did not violate the National Labor Relations Act (Act) because it continued an established practice of periodically meeting with workers in an effort to listen to their concerns. In another pro-employer decision in 2003, this time involving the Staten Island University Hospital, Acosta sided with the majority that determined a union had violated the Act by engaging in a series of verbal and abusive confrontations with hospital employees."

The offense, which is the team controlling the oval-shaped football, attempts to advance down the field by running with or passing the ball, while the defense, which is the team without control of the ball, aims to stop the offense's advance and aims to take control of the ball for themselves. The offense must advance at least ten yards in four downs, or plays, and otherwise they turn over the football to the defense; if the offense succeeds in advancing ten yards or more, they are given a new set of four downs. Points are primarily scored by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the opponent's goalposts for a field goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins. American football evolved in the United States, originating from the sports of association football and rugby football. The first match of American football was played on November 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, under rules based on the association football rules of the time. ["

D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition. This level was once called the University Division of the NCAA, in contrast to the lower level College Division; these terms were replaced with numeric divisions in 1973. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split in two; the College Division members that offered scholarships or wanted to compete against those who did became Division II, while those who did not want to offer scholarships became Division III. [ 1]For the 2014-15 school year, Division I contained 345 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 125 in FBS, 125 in FCS, and 95 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I. [2] [3] There was a moratorium on any additional movement up to D-I until 2012, after which any school that wants to move to D-I must be accepted for membership by a conference and show the NCAA it has the financial ability to support a D-I program.

Lucha libre ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlut͡ʃa ˈliβɾe], meaning \"\"Free fight\"\") is a term used in Mexico for a form of professional wrestling developed in the country. Professional wrestling is an athletic form of entertainment based on a portrayal of a combat sport. [ 1] Although the term today refers exclusively to professional wrestling, it was originally used in the same style as the American and English term \"\" freestyle wrestling \"\", [2] [3] [4] referring to an amateur wrestling style without the restrictions of Greco-Roman wrestling. Mexican wrestling is characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, as well as \"\"high-flying\"\" maneuvers, some of which have been adopted in the United States. The wearing of masks has developed special significance, and matches are sometimes contested in which the loser must permanently remove his mask, which is a wager with a high degree of weight attached. Tag team wrestling is especially prevalent in lucha libre, particularly matches with three-member teams, called trios. Lucha libre wrestlers are known as luchadores (singular luchador, meaning \"\"wrestler\"\"). They usually come from extended wrestling families who form their own stables."

The FBS is the most competitive subdivision of NCAA Division I, which itself consists of the largest and most competitive schools in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As of the most recently completed 2017 college football season, there are 10 conferences and 130 schools in FBS. College football is very popular throughout much of the United States, and the top schools generate tens of millions of dollars in yearly revenue. [ 1] [2] Top FBS teams draw tens of thousands of fans to games, and the ten largest American stadiums by capacity all host FBS teams. College athletes are not paid, but colleges are allowed to provide players with non-monetary compensation such as athletic scholarships that provide for tuition, housing, and books. Unlike other NCAA divisions and subdivisions, the NCAA does not officially award an FBS football national championship, nor does it sanction a playoff tournament to determine such a champion on the field. Instead, organizations such as the Associated Press and AFCA have historically sought to rank the teams and crown a national champion, by taking a vote of sports writers and coaches, respectively. In place of such a playoff, various cities across the United States hold their own post-season contests, called bowl games, in which they traditionally invite teams to participate in them."

Bio Cross Fit incorporates high-intensity interval training, power lifting, and Olympic weight lifting—but the popular workout's creators aren't taking any cues from the International Olympic Committee when it comes to allowing trans women to compete. That's why a self-proclaimed \"\" competitive exerciser \"\" is suing the fitness company for $2.5 million in damages for denying her recognition as a female and excluding her from Cross Fit's Women's Division. Advertisement Related On Your Mark, Get Set, Gay: Canada’s Hilarious Pro-LGBT PSA Wins Gold Chloie Jonsson, 34, is legally identified as a female in the state of California—even her birth certificate says so after she had all her documents legally changed—but the personal trainer was born with a male body. That's why, for nearly a year, she's been denied the opportunity to compete in Cross Fit’s Women’s Division in its Fittest on Earth games. Jonsson was told that she would “need to compete in the Men’s Division. ”Cross Fit's lawyer says Jonsson's genetic makeup \"\"confers a physical and physiological advantage over women. \"\""

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Main logo used by the NCAA in Divisions I, II, and III. NCAA Division I ( D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition. This level was once called the University Division of the NCAA, in contrast to the lower level College Division; these terms were replaced with numeric divisions in 1973. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split in two; the College Division members that offered scholarships or wanted to compete against those who did became Division II, while those who did not want to offer scholarships became Division III. [ 1]For the 2014-15 school year, Division I contained 345 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 125 in FBS, 125 in FCS, and 95 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I. [2] [3] There was a moratorium on any additional movement up to D-I until 2012, after which any school that wants to move to D-I must be accepted for membership by a conference and show the NCAA it has the financial ability to support a D-I program.

[ 4] [5] Teams that include both men and women are counted as men's sports for the purposes of sponsorship counting. [ 4] Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed. [ 6] Several other NCAA sanctioned minimums and differences distinguish Division I from Divisions II and III. ["

The EIBL was directly absorbed into the all-sports Ivy League, which considers the EIBL to be part of its history. In 1945, the Ivy Group Agreement, which governed competition and policies among the Ivy schools in football, was signed by all eight schools that eventually formed the all-sports league. The official formation of the athletic Ivy League came in 1954, when the Ivy Group Agreement was extended to cover all sports.

He is known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity, especially in the context of black holes. He has also achieved success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; these include the runaway best seller A Brief History of Time, which stayed on the British Sunday Times bestsellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking's key scientific works to date have included providing, with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding singularities in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation, which is today known as Hawking radiation (or sometimes as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation). He is a world-renowned theoretical physicist whose scientific career spans over 40 years. His books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Science.

The law was written on wampum belts, conceived by Dekanawidah, known as The Great Peacemaker, and his spokesman Hiawatha. The original five member nations ratified this constitution near modern-day Victor, New York, with the sixth nation (the Tuscarora) being added in c. 1142The laws were first recorded and transmitted not in written language, but by means of wampum symbols that conveyed meaning. In a later era it was translated into English and various other accounts exist. The Great Law of Peace is presented as part of a narrative noting laws and ceremonies to be performed at prescribed times. The laws called a constitution are divided into 117 articles. The united Iroquois nations are symbolized by an eastern white pine tree, called the Tree of Peace. Each nation or tribe plays a delineated role in the conduct of government. Attempts to date the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy have focused on a reported solar eclipse, which many scholars identify as the one that occurred in 1451 AD, though some debate exists with support for 1190.

It is also the first major work of Rabbinic literature. [ 2] [3] The Mishnah was redacted by Judah the Prince at the beginning of the third century CE [4] in a time when, according to the Talmud, the persecution of the Jews and the passage of time raised the possibility that the details of the oral traditions of the Pharisees from the Second Temple period (536 BCE – 70 CE) would be forgotten. Most of the Mishnah is written in Mishnaic Hebrew, while some parts are Aramaic. The Mishnah consists of six orders ( sedarim, singular seder סדר ), each containing 7–12 tractates ( masechtot, singular masechet מסכת; lit. \"\" web\"\"), 63 in total, and further subdivided into chapters and paragraphs or verses. The word Mishnah can also indicate a single paragraph or a verse of the work itself, i.e. the smallest unit of structure in the Mishnah.

New York World-Telegram & Sun Collection, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress (98)The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and its legal offspring, the Legal Defense and Educational Fund, developed a systematic attack against the doctrine of “separate but equal.” The campaign started at the graduate and professional educational levels. The attack culminated in five separate cases gathered together under the name of one of them— Oliver Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Aware of the gravity of the issue and concerned with the possible political and social repercussions, the U. S. Supreme Court heard the case argued on three separate occasions in as many years. The Court weighed carefully considerations involving adherence to legal precedent, social-science findings on the negative effects of segregation, and the marked inferiority of the schools that African Americans were forced to attend. The Supreme Court announced its unanimous decision on May 17, 1954. It held that school segregation violated the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. The following year the Court ordered desegregation “with all deliberate speed."

Roberts, a stutterer-turnedpreacher who survived a bout of deadly tuberculosis as an adolescent, has been a successful businessman, author, and educator. “ There was no doubting his charisma—or his results,” David van Biema wrote in Time magazine. Early Years He was born Granville Oral Roberts on January 24, 1918, in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, near Bebee. David Edwin Harrell, Jr., in his book Oral Roberts: An American Life, called his birth “the most portentous event in the Roberts family history.” He was the third and last child of Ellis and Claudius Roberts, born on the farm of his grandfather, Pleasant Roberts. Oral's cousin, Minnie Lewis, who traditionally named the babies in the family, called him Oral, adding to the succession of “O” names in the family. “ In later years, reporters were fascinated by the theatrical sound of Oral's name, but cousin Minnie had no such designs,” Harrell wrote. “ When asked in the 1950s if she knew the meaning of Oral's name, she replied, 'So far as I know, I had never even heard of the word before. ”Roberts grew up poor, living first on the family farm, then in Bebee."

She graduated from Montana State University (now the University of Montana) in 1902 and attended the New York School of Philanthropy (later the Columbia University School of Social Work). After a brief period as a social worker in Spokane, Washington, Rankin entered the University of Washington in Seattle. It was there that she joined the woman suffrage movement, a campaign that achieved its goal in Washington State in 1910. Rankin became a professional lobbyist for the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Her speaking and organizing efforts helped Montana women gain the vote in 1914. When Rankin decided in 1916 to run for a House seat from Montana, she had two key advantages: her reputation as a suffragist and her politically well-connected brother, Wellington, who financed her campaign."

"text": "by Joe Kays & Arline Phillips–Han Gatorade’s current slogan asks “Is it in you?” But 38 years ago, it was what was coming out of University of Florida football players that prompted the question that launched an industry. In a world where teams at all levels of competition spare no expense in applying modern technology to enhance performance, it’s hard to imagine a time when athletes were discouraged from drinking even water for fear it would cause nausea and cramps. In hindsight, the risks seem obvious, but at the time they weren’t, until a spring day in 1965 when then-assistant Gator football coach Dwayne Douglas questioned UF kidney disease specialist Robert Cade about why players lost so much weight during practices and games but urinated so little. Douglas, who had a stellar career with the Gators and then the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles until he injured his knee, told Cade he had lost as much as 18 pounds during a game, but never felt the need to visit the restroom. Cade, who then directed the UF College of Medicine’s renal and electrolyte division, quickly deduced that the players were sweating so much they didn’t have any fluids left to urinate. But it was the underlying questions that intrigued him more. “It’s obvious why, but it’s just not the kind of thing I went around giving great periods of thought to,” Cade once told a reporter. “ That question changed our lives.” After his conversation with Douglas, Cade began to give plenty of thought to the problem."

In April 1889, Jeff Reed (a native Texan, and relative of the Daggs family) was appointed to carry the mail from Stonewall to Center (which was later combined with Pickett), two small communities in then Indian Territory. With his family and his stock, he sought a place for a home on a prairie midway between the two points, where he constructed a log house and started Reed's Store.

CBS was reduced to airing the Cotton Bowl Classic, which it had aired since 1958. It added the Sun Bowl in 1968, which remains on CBS to this day as of 2018. From 1974 to 1977, it also aired the Fiesta Bowl, and from 1978 to 1986 it carried the Peach Bowl.1982–1983 [ edit]For the 1982 season, CBS was made an additional partner in the NCAA contract, and regular season coverage returned to the network. CBS and ABC would alternate the 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. slots from week to week during the seasons, carrying either a national game or several regional games in those frames, and also occasionally aired games in prime time, and on Black Friday. CBS broadcast games from every major conference, as well as the games of the then major independents such as Penn State (now a Big Ten member), Notre Dame (still an independent in football, though a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for non-football sports), and Miami (now in the ACC)."

[ 3] It rises in the San Bernardino Mountains and flows for most of its length through San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, before cutting through the northern Santa Ana Mountains via Santa Ana Canyon and flowing southwest through urban Orange County to drain into the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Ana River is 96 miles (154 km) long, [4] and its drainage basin is 2,650 square miles (6,900 km 2) in size. The Santa Ana drainage basin has a diversity of terrain, ranging from high peaks of inland mountains in the north and east, to the hot, dry interior and semi-desert basins of the Inland Empire, to the flat coastal plain of Orange County. Although it includes areas of alpine and highland forest, the majority of the watershed consists of arid desert and chaparral environments. Due to low regional rainfall, the river carries only a small flow except during the brief winter season, when it is prone to massive flash floods. The San Jacinto River, which drains the southern half of the watershed, rarely reaches the Santa Ana except in extremely wet years. However, a wide variety of animal and plant communities depend on the riparian zones and remnant wetlands along the Santa Ana River. Humans have lived on the Santa Ana River for at least 9,000 years."

Montreal Canadiens No, the “H” in the Canadiens logo doesn’t stand for “Habs,” the nickname of the team derived from Les Habitants, the 18th-century settlers in present-day Quebec. ( The legend is that boxing promoter, gold prospector, Madison Square owner and New York Rangers founder Tex Rickard was told the “H” stood for Habs and the story caught on.) The “H” stands for something far more generic: Hockey. For most of the franchise’s first seven years, the famous C logo included an A, for Canadian Athletic Club.

It came into being on 31 May 1910 with the unification of four previously separate British colonies: the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River colonies. It included the territories formerly part of the Boer republics annexed in 1902, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. Following the First World War, the Union of South Africa was granted the administration of South West Africa (formerly a German colony and today the sovereign state of Namibia) as a League of Nations mandate, which became treated in most respects as if it were another province of the Union, but never was formally annexed. The Union of South Africa was a self-governing autonomous dominion of the British Empire. Its independence from Britain was confirmed in the Balfour Declaration 1926 and the Statute of Westminster 1931."

The Kats are the only athletic department in the Southland Conference to get the Commissioner's Cup for 3 consecutive years. Sam Houston boasts both the best average student athlete GPA as well as the highest number of student athletes named to the Southland Conference honor roll. [ 3] This is particularly evident in the men's basketball program, which fielded 6 of the 13 student athletes who gained Academic All-Conference honors, including junior Ryan Bright, who was also named student athlete of the year for men's basketball.

It is believed that Penn’s political philosophy is embodied in the West New Jersey Concessions and Agreements of 1677, which is an earlier practical experience of government constitution prior to the establishment of Pennsylvania. Although his authorship of the Concession is questioned, it is believed that he gave his full consent to it as the trustee of that colony. In the Concession, all legislative power was granted to an assembly selected by the “inhabitants, freeholders and proprietors” of the colony. A commission was to be appointed by the assembly as its executive. The government structure in West New Jersey demonstrated the enlightened constitutional theory that Penn had been promoting. Also under the influence of republican political theory and humanism, the first version of the Frame of Government of Pennsylvania (now known as the Frame of 1682) incorporated a few pioneering ideas, which were later developed into important elements of modern constitutionalism. It required capital punishment to be applied to a strictly limited scope of criminal offenses only, including murder and treason."

S. Constitution | Due Process of Law | Trial by Jury | Writ of Habeas Corpus | Executive Power | Magna Carta in Culture Former U. S. President Benjamin Harrison served as plaintiff’s counsel in the 1895 trial over the estate of James Morrison of Richmond, Indiana. The trial, which lasted from January 2 until May 10, 1895, was the longest jury trial in the United States up to that time. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress The right to a trial by jury, one of the most time-honored inheritances from Magna Carta in United States law, refers to the guarantee that courts will depend on a body of citizens to render judgments in most civil and criminal cases. The origins of the jury trial precede the creation of Magna Carta. However, Chapter 39 of King John’s Magna Carta includes the guarantee that no free man may suffer punishment without “the lawful judgment of his peers.” By this measure the barons sought to force the king to delegate part of his judicial authority to men who were peers of the individual on trial. While Magna Carta did not institute the jury system in the modern sense, its political intent—to prevent the king’s domination of the courts—inspired later generations to view the right to a trial by jury as one of the basic safeguards of freedom from arbitrary government. Eighteenth-century Americans viewed the right to a jury trial as one of the essential liberties of a free country. They saw the jury as an independent deliberative body that could refuse to cooperate with an unjust court or law. Although the United States Constitution recognized a right to a jury trial in criminal cases, the states demanded a constitutional amendment to guarantee a jury trial in civil cases as well, leading to the creation of the Seventh Amendment."

[ 1] These nine have long been considered together, notably in the survey of their origins in the 1907 The Cambridge History of English and American Literature. [ 2] Seven of the nine colonial colleges are part of the Ivy League athletic conference: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, and Dartmouth. ( The eighth member of the Ivy League, Cornell University, was founded in 1865. ) The two colonial colleges not in the Ivy League are now both public universities —the College of William & Mary in Virginia and Rutgers University in New Jersey. William & Mary was a royal (state) institution from 1693 until the American Revolution. Between the Revolution and the American Civil War, William & Mary was a private institution. It suffered significant damage during the Civil War and began to receive public support in the 1880s. William & Mary officially became a public college in 1906. Rutgers was founded as Queens College, named for Queen Charlotte, and was for much of its history privately affliated with the Dutch Reformed Church."

Before then, the area was inhabited by the Lenape (Delaware) Indians and Swedish settlers who arrived in the area in the early 1600s. Philadelphia quickly grew into an important colonial city and during the American Revolution was the site of the First and Second Continental Congresses. After the Revolution the city was chosen to be the temporary capital of the United States. At the beginning of the 19th century, the federal and state governments left Philadelphia, but the city remained the cultural and financial center of the country. Philadelphia became one of the first U. S. industrial centers and the city contained a variety of industries, the largest being textiles. After the American Civil War Philadelphia's government was controlled by a corrupt Republican political machine and by the beginning of the 20th Century Philadelphia was described as \"\"corrupt and contented.\"\" Various reform efforts slowly changed city government with the most significant in 1950 where a new city charter strengthened the position of mayor and weakened the Philadelphia City Council. At the same time Philadelphia moved its support from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party which has since created a strong Democratic organization. The city began a population decline in the 1950s as mostly white and middle class families left for the suburbs."

"text": "\"1681-1776: The Quaker Province The Founding of Pennsylvania William Penn and the Quakers Penn was born in London on October 24, 1644, the son of Admiral Sir William Penn. Despite high social position and an excellent education, he shocked his upper-class associates by his conversion to the beliefs of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, then a persecuted sect. He used his inherited wealth and rank to benefit and protect his fellow believers. Despite the unpopularity of his religion, he was socially acceptable in the king's court because he was trusted by the Duke of York, later King James II. The origins of the Society of Friends lie in the intense religious ferment of seventeenth century England. George Fox, the son of a Leicestershire weaver, is credited with founding it in 1647, though there was no definite organization before 1668. The Society's rejections of rituals and oaths, its opposition to war, and its simplicity of speech and dress soon attracted attention, usually hostile. The Charter King Charles II owed William Penn £16,000, money which his late father Admiral Sir Penn had lent him. Seeking a haven in the New World for persecuted Friends, Penn asked the King to grant him land in the territory between Lord Baltimore's province of Maryland and the Duke of York's province of New York. With the Duke's support, Penn's petition was granted."

"text": "Why was Pennsylvania founded? February 4, 2011 , plaza , Leave a comment Why was Pennsylvania founded? Pennsylvania is jus t one among the 50 states of America. Surrounded by famous landmarks such as Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Canada, Maryland, Ohio and West Virginia, the state of Pennsylvania is one place that is marvelous to explore. With the growing economy from banking, agriculture and gambling, it ranks 6th in terms on gross state product. Encapsulated by mountains, plains and valleys, the variety of climate one can witness at the different regions of the state is absolutely a wonder to see. Along with rich culture and history, Pennsylvania continues to bloom and flourish. Pennsylvania, also called Commonwealth has a rich, diverse history. Pennsylvania was founded when Charles II granted William Penn, a land charter. This land charter was a form of payment for the debt made of Ã’šÃ‚£16,000, which was owed to William Penn’s grandfather Admiral Penn."

"text": "\"Five Great Neighborhoods in Philadelphia Get to know the best places to call home in the city of Brotherly Love. Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Alan J. Heavens Related To: Neighborhoods Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods, and the locals have little patience with those who get the boundaries wrong such as real estate agents trying to boost the asking price of a house by shifting its location from a less-prestigious address to a pricier one. There are dozens of neighborhoods in the 136-square-mile city. Some are a few blocks long, surround a small square or continue for several miles. For administrative purposes, the city is divided into Center City, West, North, Northeast, Northwest and Southwest Philadelphia, and these divisions encompass all the townships and boroughs that were annexed to the original city in 1854. Philadelphia is a city as well as a county. The traditional boundaries of Center City are Vine Street on the north to South Street, the Delaware River on the east and the Schuylkill on the west. Center City is not a neighborhood really, but a geographical marker that refers to the central business district. It, however, comprises several neighborhoods, some no larger than a few blocks, others that stretch for a mile. While there are many neighborhoods, these five are the most prized by buyers, renters and visitors for their housing, amenities and viability: Old City, Society Hill and Queen Village Rittenhouse Square Manayunk Chestnut Hill/Mount Airy University City Old City, Society Hill and Queen Village These are actually three neighborhoods, but in a city in which history plays an important role in daily life, and because they create an unbroken line more than a mile along a stretch of Delaware riverfront park known as Penn’s Landing, they can be considered one."

The seven-game Thursday night slate opens Sept. 4 and features three conference champions and four teams from last year’s championship field. Teams appearing in this year’s television package combined for a 103 – 55 (.651) overall record last season, and seven teams included in this year’s schedule received votes in the final 2013 AFCA Coaches Poll. “We know that our student-athletes really enjoy competing for a national audience, and we expect this year’s lineup of nationally televised games to produce a series of exciting games showcasing the quality and competitiveness of NCAA Division II football,” said Frank Condino, chair of the Division II Football Committee and athletics director at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Over the nine years of Division II’s partnership with CBS Sports Network, more than 40 percent of the division’s football-playing member schools have appeared in nationally televised games. This will be the first nationally televised Division II Football Game of the Week in program history for each of the seven schools hosting. In total, national telecasts have originated from 42 different DII campuses. “This year, schools from eight different conferences will be represented on national television, with several schools making their first nationally televised appearances,” said Terri Steeb Gronau, vice president of Division II. “ These games on national television afford us another opportunity to demonstrate what is special about Division II schools and student-athletes. We look forward to showcasing tremendous student-athletes as they succeed on the field, in the classroom and in life."

"text": "College Advice & Resources What Does NCAA Division I, II or III Mean? By Jackie Burrell Updated 12/11/17Share Pin Email Ronald Martinez / Getty Images Colleges that belong to the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA designate themselves as Division I, II or III, according to NCAA guidelines about the number of teams, team size, game calendar and financial support. Within the world of college sports, Division I is the most intense and III the least. Students who enjoy sports but who do not qualify (or want) to play at a highly competitive level might explore club sports and intramural options too. Intramural and club sports are excellent ways to meet other students and get involved in campus life. NCAA Division IDivision I is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the U. S. D-I schools comprise the major athletic powers in the college division, with larger budgets, more advanced facilities, and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III or smaller schools that are competitive in athletics. In 2014, student athletes and the NCAA and debated whether they should be paid. The students said that their many hours devoted to their sport along with the money they brought it, justify their receipt of payment. In fact, Division I athletic programs generated $8.7 billion in revenue in 2009–2010. The NCAA turned down student-athletes' request for payment, but instead approved unlimited free meals and snacks."

The Rice Owls were an established program, having played since 1919 as a member of the Southwest Conference.

D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition. This level was once called the University Division of the NCAA, in contrast to the lower level College Division; these terms were replaced with numeric divisions in 1973. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split in two; the College Division members that offered scholarships or wanted to compete against those who did became Division II, while those who did not want to offer scholarships became Division III. [ 1]For the 2014-15 school year, Division I contained 345 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 125 in FBS, 125 in FCS, and 95 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I. [2] [3] There was a moratorium on any additional movement up to D-I until 2012, after which any school that wants to move to D-I must be accepted for membership by a conference and show the NCAA it has the financial ability to support a D-I program.

[ 4] [5] Teams that include both men and women are counted as men's sports for the purposes of sponsorship counting. [ 4] Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed. [ 6] Several other NCAA sanctioned minimums and differences distinguish Division I from Divisions II and III. ["

Nicknamed the \"\"Wizard of Westwood ,\"\" he won ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period as head coach at UCLA, including a record seven in a row. No other team has won more than four [1] in a row in Division 1 college men's or women's basketball. [ 2] [3] [4] Connecticut's women's D1 team comes in second to UCLA men's with four in a row. Within this period, his teams won an NCAA men's basketball record 88 consecutive games. Wooden was named national coach of the year six times. He also won a Helms national championship (which was decided by a poll) at Purdue as a player 1931–1932 for a total of 11 national titles, a feat matched only by Geno Auriemma of NCAA women's basketball. As a 5'10\"\" guard, Wooden was the first player to be named basketball All-American three times, and the 1932 Purdue team on which he played as a senior was retroactively recognized as the pre- NCAA Tournament national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll. [ 5] [6] Wooden was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player (1960) and as a coach (1973), the first person ever enshrined in both categories. Lenny Wilkens, Bill Sharman and Tommy Heinsohn are the only other basketball players who have since achieved the same honors. ["

The men's basketball program, added in 1911, received national recognition in 1939 when the team finished third in the National Invitational Tournament, the premiere postseason tournament of that era; and with more than 1,300 wins (almost 2,000 games played; better than 60% winning percentage over more than 90 years) is among the most successful in the nation. Frankie Allen, arguably the greatest men's basketball player in the history of Virginia college sports (2,780 points and 1,758 rebounds), graduated from Roanoke in 1971. Men's lacrosse and men's basketball are the school's two most popular, and historically most successful, sports at the college. However, a number of other teams have made deep NCAA tournament runs and claimed ODAC titles in recent years. Most notably, the 2017 baseball team, who entered the ODAC Tournament as the conference's 6th seed, went on a run to win the title before sweeping the Southeast regional and making an appearance in the College World Series in Appleton, Wisconsin. The team finished the season with a #3 national ranking. ["

Southern Conference football teams compete in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-AA). Member institutions are located in the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Southern Conference ranks as the fifth-oldest major college athletic conference in the United States, and either the third- or fourth-oldest in continuous operation, depending on definitions. [ 1] Among conferences currently in operation, the Big Ten (1896) and Missouri Valley (1907) are indisputably older. The Pac-12 Conference did not operate under its current charter until 1959, but claims the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, founded in 1915, as its own. The Southwest Conference (SWC) was founded in 1914, but ceased operation in 1996. The Big Eight Conference claimed the same history as the Missouri Valley from 1907 to 1928 during its existence; though it essentially merged with four SWC members to form the Big 12 Conference in 1996, the Big 12 does not claim the Big Eight's legacy. The Ivy League was formally organized in 1955, but claims the history of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which competed from 1901 to 1955, as its own. The So Con was the first conference to use the three-point field goal in basketball in a November 29, 1980 game at Western Carolina against Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where Ronnie Carr shot the historic shot from 22 feet (6.7 m) away and the Catamounts won 77–70.

Athletes who are looking for college baseball scholarships need to fully understand the baseball recruiting process if they are to be successful and play college baseball. NCAA baseball recruiting starts earlier in your career than you think. If you want to play college baseball and land that elusive baseball scholarship then you must take baseball recruiting into your own hands; don’t wait for your high school coaches to help you get recruited. Pitchers The old adage, you can never have enough pitching, applies equally well to college baseball. Coaches look to recruit and give baseball scholarships to pitchers before signing other players. Pitchers can be recruited based on potential. If you have a big frame and can throw hard coaches will develop you and help you work on control. College coaches want to see you pitch in person so they can judge things such as velocity, arm speed, and movement."

Apparently, NC State is not opposed to Loyola using the nickname in theory. Instead, NC State would like to prevent Loyola from using the nickname as a \"\"stand alone,\"\" therefore requiring them to only use it combined with their institutional name. If this isn't acceptable, NC State would allow Loyola to “license the nickname for a fee. ”The report also details a similar incident that occurred between NC State and Nevada in 2008 which resulted in Nevada using the two-word nickname “Wolf Pack” as opposed to the one-word “Wolfpack. ”Many universities share nicknames or mascots more amiably but what are the most popular of these shared spirit representatives? The following slideshow presents the 18 most frequently used mascot/nicknames for institutions classified as Division One for sports competition. We begin with nicknames that are used by at least four schools and work our way all the way up to the most commonly used mascot name in NCAA Division One athletics.

But there is less than a page regarding healthcare for athletes. Instead, there's a half-page list of healthcare services that institutions may finance should they choose. Athletic departments (with the exception of those in California, where specific legislation has been passed) don't have to publish their healthcare policies in writing, leaving players to rely solely on the promises of recruiters. In other words, after an incoming student signs a letter of intent binding him or her to a university, many schools have no contractual obligation to treat injuries or strains that result from playing for that college."

"text": "ACT Scores Required for Football Playerswritten by: Erik Hinrichsen•edited by: Donna Cosmato •updated: 7/5/2010This article describes the required ACT scores for football players in college. It discusses the various options, including divisions 1, 2, and 3, as well as the NAIA. In order to play football in college, players often must meet a certain ACT (or SAT) score. This score, of course, varies significantly from school to school, and limits may be softer for heavily recruited players. Considerations may also be made for underrepresented minority students, as well. The best way to find out what ACT scores football players are required to attain to go to a certain school is to email the coach and find out, but it is possible to get an idea of the requirements just by looking at some statistics about a school. The most basic limit to playing football in college is approval by the NCAA clearinghouse. In order to play in Division II, student athletes must attain a summed score of 68 (this comes from the addition of English, mathematics, reading, and science scores). If players choose to take the SAT, they must achieve at least an 820 out of 1600; the writing section of the SAT is not included. Division I, on the other hand, uses a sliding scale to determine eligibility."

Southern Conference Established 1921Association NCAADivision Division ISubdivision FCSMembers 10Sports fielded22men's: 11 women's: 10coeducational: 1Region Southeast Headquarters Spartanburg, South Carolina Commissioner John Iamarino (since 2006)Website www .soconsports .com The Southern Conference ( So Con) is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I. Southern Conference football teams compete in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-AA). Member institutions are located in the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Southern Conference ranks as the fifth-oldest major college athletic conference in the United States, and either the third- or fourth-oldest in continuous operation, depending on definitions. [ 1] Among conferences currently in operation, the Big Ten (1896) and Missouri Valley (1907) are indisputably older. The Pac-12 Conference did not operate under its current charter until 1959, but claims the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, founded in 1915, as its own. The Southwest Conference (SWC) was founded in 1914, but ceased operation in 1996. The Big Eight Conference claimed the same history as the Missouri Valley from 1907 to 1928 during its existence; though it essentially merged with four SWC members to form the Big 12 Conference in 1996, the Big 12 does not claim the Big Eight's legacy. The Ivy League was formally organized in 1955, but claims the history of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which competed from 1901 to 1955, as its own. The So Con was the first conference to use the three-point field goal in basketball in a November 29, 1980 game at Western Carolina against Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where Ronnie Carr shot the historic shot from 22 feet (6.7 m) away and the Catamounts won 77–70.

The regional containing overall #1 seed will be matched up with the regional containing the overall #16 seed, the #2 seed will be matched up with the #15 seed, and so on. The winner of each regional moves on to the second tier, the \"\"super regionals\"\". The super regionals are played at eight locations throughout the country and consist of the 16 surviving teams, with the higher seeded team usually hosting. Two teams are matched up at each location and they play a best-of-three series to determine who moves on to the Women's College World Series. The final eight teams meet in Oklahoma City in the Women's College World Series."

"text": "\"Industry and manufacturing has led the way on the De Forest economic development scene in 2016, but the newest outfit to offer intentions to come into the village's borders may signal a shift toward attracting visitors. GRB Academy, the baseball and softball operation out of Madison that in nearly six years of existence has developed a reputation as one of the region's premier trainers, will break ground this year on a new facility in De Forest's south business park off state Hwy. 19 that will boast a foot print of 52,000 square feet. \"\" It's a good growing area,\"\" GRB Academy owner Greg Reinhard said of De Forest. \"\" In working with the village, they are excited to have us there and we think it's going to be a great fit for us. ”A Marinette native, Reinhard competed collegiately for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball program. In his senior season (2005), Reinhard helped lead the Warhawks to a NCAA Division III championship, was named unanimous national pitcher of the year, and become a sixth round draft choice of Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays. Reinhard also spent time with the Chicago Cubs organization and his professional playing career spanned six years with four spent in the minor league's upper levels before retirement. But hanging up his cleats didn't mean Reinhard was ready to walk away from baseball. In late 2010 he established Greg Reinhard Baseball (GRB) Academy in the state's capital city."

For example, an NCAA Division II school can award 27 players each a 1/3 equivalent scholarship and still meet the limit of 9. For more information see our page on scholarship limits. Do the Math! The average NCAA Division I baseball team has a roster of 35 players but only a maximum of 11.7 athletic scholarships available. This means the average award covers only about 1/3 of annual college costs and this assumes the sport is fully funded at the sponsoring school. *"

"text": "Cheer Life, College Top 40 Colleges to Cheer June 28, 2015by Alex Gillespie If you are involved in cheerleading at all or are interested in trying it, you’ve probably seen multiple “best places to cheer in college” rankings. This, however, is a little different. Instead of ranking by who wins the most or who has the coolest uniforms or whatever criteria you have seen before, we decided to check out all aspects of various programs, give them points, then let the numbers do the ranking. We created four categories to use as our criteria. Scholarships offered: Schools that offer no scholarships get 0 points, and five points to schools that offer full rides and/or more than $1000 a year. Other scholarships amounts were awarded points based on what they were. Some schools scholarship information could not be found, so we worked them in where we felt they fell in the list regardless of the scholarship amounts. Academics: While we didn’t dive in to what kind of grades you need to get into the college or how hard the schools are, schools that offered a variety of majors with well respected programs received five points. Game day atmosphere: One of the coolest parts of cheering in college is being down on the field or on the sideline of games. For this category, five points were awarded to schools that have incredible game day atmospheres, the kind you hear about on TV."

"text": "\"Virginia Tech / About History and Traditions All about Hokie Stone What is a Hokie? The origin of the word \"\"Hokie\"\" has nothing to do with a turkey. It was coined by O. M. Stull (class of 1896), who used it in a spirit yell he wrote for a competition. Here's how that competition came to be. Virginia Tech was founded in 1872 as a land-grant institution and was named Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1896, the Virginia General Assembly officially changed the college's name to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, a name so long that people shortened it in popular usage to VPI. The original college cheer, which made reference to the original name of the institution, was no longer suitable. So a contest was held to select a new spirit yell, and Stull won the $5 top prize for his cheer, now known as Old Hokie: Hoki, Hoki, Hoki, Hy. Techs, Techs, V. P. I. Sola-Rex, Sola-Rah. Polytechs - Vir-gin-ia."

"text": "\"What Are NCAA Divisions? Division 1 vs 2 vs 3Posted by Justin Berkman | Aug 21, 2015 6:54:18 PMCollege Admissions Generally speaking, NCAA divisions separate schools by the level of competition and the resources of their athletic departments. Most collegiate sporting events you see on television, from March Madness to the College World Series, are competitions between Division I schools. Division I offers the highest level of competition and Division I schools' athletic departments have the biggest budgets. Division III is the lowest level of competition in the NCAA, and Division III schools tend to have the smallest athletic department budgets. In this article, I'll break down the differences between NCAA divisions to give you a better idea of what separates Division I, II, and III schools. For those of you who wish to participate in intercollegiate athletics, you can get an idea of which division would best suit your interests and abilities. For those of you who don’t want to compete but care about sports, you can use this guide to determine if the division of a college’s sports teams will be a determining factor for you when selecting a college.

"text": "College Advice & Resources What Does NCAA Division I, II or III Mean? By Jackie Burrell Updated 12/11/17Share Pin Email Ronald Martinez / Getty Images Colleges that belong to the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA designate themselves as Division I, II or III, according to NCAA guidelines about the number of teams, team size, game calendar and financial support. Within the world of college sports, Division I is the most intense and III the least. Students who enjoy sports but who do not qualify (or want) to play at a highly competitive level might explore club sports and intramural options too. Intramural and club sports are excellent ways to meet other students and get involved in campus life. NCAA Division IDivision I is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the U. S. D-I schools comprise the major athletic powers in the college division, with larger budgets, more advanced facilities, and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III or smaller schools that are competitive in athletics. In 2014, student athletes and the NCAA and debated whether they should be paid. The students said that their many hours devoted to their sport along with the money they brought it, justify their receipt of payment. In fact, Division I athletic programs generated $8.7 billion in revenue in 2009–2010. The NCAA turned down student-athletes' request for payment, but instead approved unlimited free meals and snacks."

"text": "\"Improve Your Chances for an Athletic Scholarship Academics Plus Athletic Drive Make a Winning Combination Families paying for higher education require comprehensive financial aid strategies that draw from all available resources to meet expenses. The U. S. Department of Education administers a range of student assistance programs that brings college within reach for most degree seekers. Federal Direct Loans, for example, provide low-interest financing options that allow students to borrow at competitive rates. Government-backed loans are key resources, but money borrowed for college eventually requires repayment. To avoid student debt, use academic and athletic excellence to land gift-aid scholarships that leave you free and clear after graduation. Athletic scholarships for elite athletes are competitive; because like most merit-based financial aid, they are awarded to recognize high achievement. On the other hand; grants like those disbursed by the the stalwart federal Pell Grant program are usually awarded based on need, rather than performance. Campus financial aid administrators use scholarships and grants to establish funding for star athletes, who increase their own access to student assistance by maintaining winning combinations of scholastic excellence and outstanding athletic achievement. Scholarships for athletes originate from a wide variety of public and private benefactors, including athletic organizations, foundations, corporations, individual universities, women’s groups and minority advocacy associations. Your access to college assistance is influenced by where you go to school, your academic major, what sport you excel in, and a host of personal characteristics germane to your academic and athletic success."

"text": "NAIA v NCAA: What’s the difference? Posted by Christina Martin on Jan 22, 2015 2:57:00 PMTweet Does size really matter? For student-athletes navigating the maze of college options, school size matters a lot more than just how big your classes are and how many students are on campus. School size also typically determines which athletic division a school falls in – which will directly impact the type of athletic experience you could have at that school. And that’s why every student-athlete ought to know the difference between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) before deciding which school they would like to attend. NCAA schools often fall on the larger end of the spectrum, at least when it comes to Division I athletics. NCAA Division II and III and NAIA colleges and universities generally have much smaller student bodies. When you think of college athletics, often it’s the NCAA (Div I, Div II etc.) that comes to mind. The NCAA is comprised of approximately 460,000 student-athletes at more than 1,200 schools, conferences and affiliate organizations, all vying to compete in one of 89 championship events under the NCAA umbrella."

That’s because both their facilities and staff left much to be desired. In the 1900s, the mentally ill were basically lab rats for doctors, who were more than eager to test out experimental procedures on them. As a result, the dead usually outnumbered the living in early sanatoriums.

To give you a better idea of size and how they divisions compare, about 176,000 student athletes compete at the Division I level. A little more than 118,000 student-athletes compete in Division II and Division III has just under 188,000 student athletes on its various rosters. And that’s just the NCAA. There's also the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) with more than 250 schools and of course many options at the junior college level for high school athletes. While there are some similarities, you'll find each college option is somewhat unique. For example, one difference is that all DI and DII athletes must meet certain eligibility requirements set by the NCAA. Division III eligibility requirements are set by the school. Quick Links Surprising DIII difference What's it really like? DI: Your sport, your life DI and the Ivy League 8DII: A balanced approach DIII: A well-rounded experience Why choose an NAIA school Don't ignore junior colleges Student-athletes and parents should note that for the small percentage of high school athletes that end up playing at the DI and DII level, only about 56 percent of DI athletes receive some type of athletics aid and DII athletes fair just a little better at 60 percent that get athletics aid."

The overwhelming majority of the $1.06 billion was then distributed back to member organizations and institutions across the United States in support of their nearly half-million student athletes. [ 3] Some 95% of all revenues was expended, of which just 4% was devoted to day-to-day operations of the NCAA itself and an additional 8% to cover Association-wide expenses such as legal services, communications and business insurance. The remaining 88% went to member schools, organizations, and athletes. ["

To get recruited and be in line for athletic scholarships you must let the coaches know who you are and why you deserve to play college sport. What are my chances of playing college sports? Only two percent of high school athletes will play college sports. But don’t let the numbers mislead you–The only statistics that matter are the numbers you put up in the sport you play. Do your research on teams that interest you. See how you line up with their current players and don’t hesitate to contact the coach to see if he is interested in an athlete with your talents. Every team is looking for something a little different in their athletes. You have options: Be open to looking at NCAA Division 1, 2 & 3 programs as well as NAIA and Junior College Programs. Even if you don’t have the skills a coach is looking for in a scholarship athlete there may be an opportunity to walk onto the team."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sports and academics at Princeton University College athletics in the United States or college sports in the United States refers primarily to sports and athletic competition organized and funded by institutions of tertiary education (universities, or colleges in American English ). 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. The average university sponsors at least twenty different sports and offers a wide variety of intramural sports as well."

Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez are probably two of the most famous examples with both coming from college basketball backgrounds. Chris Hogan, however, might be the first NFL player who spent most of his college career playing lacrosse. Given a very small window of opportunity, the New Jersey native got just enough exposure to get his foot in the NFL door, and now he’s not letting anyone shut him out. Athletic gifts Growing up in Wyckoff, New Jersey, with his father Jim and mother Mary Ellen, from a very early age Chris Hogan was pretty physically gifted. His eye-hand coordination is what stood out most in the beginning. “At two-years old he was hitting a golf ball,” said his father Jim Hogan. “ He was a lefty, but he was hitting a righty club and hitting it pretty good with the back end of the club head. His eye-hand coordination was always good, even then."

Pig bladders were replaced by rubber bladders in the late 1800s. The laces might eventually have been replaced by a more modern closure were it not for a significant change in the way football was played. The change, influenced in part by President Theodore Roosevelt, gave football laces the new role of helping players grip and guide the ball while passing. The Forward Pass Football originally was a game that limited players to running the ball. This style of play involved extensive physical contact that made the game dangerous. Nineteen football players were killed and 137 injured during the 1905 football season alone. After Roosevelt's own son was injured playing college football, Roosevelt called upon colleges to make the sport safer. A meeting of 60 colleges in 1906 led to several rule changes, one of which made forward passing of the football a legal play. Getting a Grip The forward pass didn't catch on at first because players didn't know how to pass the ball effectively."

NCAA Division I ( D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition. This level was once called the University Division of the NCAA, in contrast to the lower level College Division; these terms were replaced with numeric divisions in 1973. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split in two; the College Division members that offered scholarships or wanted to compete against those who did became Division II, while those who did not want to offer scholarships became Division III. [ 1]For the 2014-15 school year, Division I contained 345 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 125 in FBS, 125 in FCS, and 95 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I. [2] [3] There was a moratorium on any additional movement up to D-I until 2012, after which any school that wants to move to D-I must be accepted for membership by a conference and show the NCAA it has the financial ability to support a D-I program.

While this is broadly true, and major universities are always competing to bring the very best athletes to their campuses, there remains an abundance of scholarship opportunities for good solid athletic performers. Athletic scholarships can be found that reward all levels of excellence, not only star players. Scholarships for football, baseball, and basketball are perhaps the most highly visible, but they are by no means the only sports that provide scholarship opportunities to eligible college-bound students. There are scholarships for wrestling, track and field, swimming and ice hockey; as well as less commonly played sports such as golf, lacrosse and fencing. The college-bound athlete will find that there area vast array of scholarships devoted to all manner of sporting activities. Athletic Associations and Athletic Scholarships There are three major collegiate sports associations which sanction athletic scholarships. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). These associations regulate the manner in which college level athletics are managed, and how scholarships are distributed and administered. What are the main differences between the athletic associations?"

Most collegiate sporting events you see on television, from March Madness to the College World Series, are competitions between Division I schools. Division I offers the highest level of competition and Division I schools' athletic departments have the biggest budgets. Division III is the lowest level of competition in the NCAA, and Division III schools tend to have the smallest athletic department budgets. In this article, I'll break down the differences between NCAA divisions to give you a better idea of what separates Division I, II, and III schools. For those of you who wish to participate in intercollegiate athletics, you can get an idea of which division would best suit your interests and abilities.

Open beta built the hype for Blizzard’s first new IP in 17 years to even greater heights, and the game, and comparisons to games like Battleborn and TF2 have been dismissed. Overwatch will feature 21 heroes at launch, all with individual skills and strengths. The core of Overwatch surrounds team composition, and adjusting to different heroes throughout the match based on the circumstances. And while the heroes vary greatly, several of them have already risen to become the favorites at the selection screen. After 9.7 million gamers tried the beta, Blizzard released a nifty infographic regarding some in-game stats. According to the graphic, the most popular characters in beta were Soldier: 76, Widowmaker, Reinhardt and Mercy. In the competitive scene, all of those characters feature prominently except for S76. We’re guessing his usage was high since he was the default option for beta, as Reaper and Genji are more likely to see massive use. What do you think?"

Go to: Rudolph Virchow (1821–1902)Virchow was one of the 19th century’s foremost leaders in medicine and pathology. He was also a public health activist, social reformer, politician, and anthropologist. Virchow was the only child of a farmer and city treasurer in Schivelbein, Germany. He had a strong interest in natural science. In 1839, he received a scholarship from the Prussian Military Academy, where he was given the opportunity to study medicine in preparation for a career as an army physician. He studied medicine in Berlin and then taught there for the most of his life, with interludes in Silesia and Würzberg. In 1847, he and a colleague, Benino Reinhardt, founded the Archiv für Pathologische Anatomie und Physiologie (now known as “Virchow’s Archives”), which still survives as a leading journal of pathology. He encouraged his students to use microscopes and “think microscopically.”"

He played electric once, during his tour with Duke Ellington in the States, but it wasn't a success and he never played amplified again. Django only used 1 brand of guitar: Selmer guitars, typical gypsy jazz instruments with an oval sound hole and very high action. More Django Reinhardt: Django Reinhardt Licks Django Reinhardt Bio Guitars Selmer Guitars Selmer produced guitars between 1932 and 1952. Although they produced a wide variety of instruments, they are particularly known for the 'Modèle Jazz' ( changed to 'Modèle Django Reinhardt' later), made famous by Django Reinhardt. The Selmer Maccaferri was the first guitar with a cutaway and a steel reinforced neck. The guitar was initially designed by Mario Maccaferri, with a 12-fret neck and a D-shaped sound hole. When Maccaferri left the company, Selmer made some changes to the model, most notable the introduction of the oval sound hole and the lengthening of the neck to 14 frets. Almost all Selmer guitars were made of laminated Indian rosewood with walnut necks and an ebony fingerboard. The tops are solid French spruce, what defines the sound of the guitar the most (besides the player)."

The protest followed the failure of an effort of the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization (OSCRO) to impeach tribal president Richard Wilson, whom they accused of corruption and abuse of opponents. Additionally, protesters criticized the United States government's failure to fulfill treaties with Native American people and demanded the reopening of treaty negotiations. Oglala and AIM activists controlled the town for 71 days while the United States Marshals Service, FBI agents, and other law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area. The activists chose the site of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre for its symbolic value. Both sides were armed, and shooting was frequent. A U. S. marshal was shot and paralyzed in March. [ 2] A Cherokee and an Oglala Lakota were killed by shootings in April 1973. Ray Robinson, a civil rights activist who joined the protesters, disappeared during the events and is believed to have been murdered."

This guide will help with everything from exploiting hidden shield effects to synchronising ultimate attacks Rich Stanton Mon 6 Jun 2016 05.11 EDT06.36 EST342Overwatch is a hit with players around the world. But is everyone clued up on the game’s finer strategic points? Photograph: Blizzard B lizzard’s acclaimed team-based shooter is delighting millions with its brash visual style and surprising tactical depth. But while there are many online guides drilling down into the specific nuts-and-bolts of each character, some players are still struggling with the fundamentals of this fresh take on the first-person shooter. So let us take you through some basics, some not-so-basics and some dirty secrets.1. Health / Armour / Shields Photograph: Blizzard This is one of the first things Overwatch explains, and it’s pretty clear that a lot of players didn’t take it in. We could go into endless depth but it’s important to understand some basics about how the different types of HP operate: health and armour doesn’t regenerate (unless you’re certain support classes), but shields do regenerate. Hence, with the shield-heavy Zarya, the character’s being set up to bait shots with her shields before dropping her barrier to absorb the fire and power-up (which lets the shield regenerate. ) Much more importantly, having armour as any part of your health pool reduces the damage of incoming fire for as long as it’s there."

Simpson ‘s children Justin and Sydney Simpson made a very rare public appearance over the weekend, attending the wedding of their cousin Sean Brown to Laguna Beach ‘s Casey Reinhardt in Newport Coast, California, on Saturday. Justin, 27, and Sydney, 30, are the children of Simpson and his late ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Nicole’s sister Denise Brown is Sean’s mother. Seated among other guests during the stunning outdoor ceremony at The Resort at Pelican Hill, the Simpson siblings were “very chummy” with their aunt, a source told E! News. “Justin was in a celebratory mood and having a good time,” the source added. Sydney was 8 years old, and Justin only 5, when their mother was killed with waiter Ron Goldman outside her Brentwood home in 1994. O. J. was subsequently charged, then acquitted of the murders – a court case that is the basis for current TV series The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story. VIDEO: How Well Do You Know the O.

"text": "\"News Detail Record Number of Colleges Add NCAA Football Teams in 2013Published: 7/9/2013 2:00:00 PMIRVING, Texas (July 9, 2013) – The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) highlighted today that 12 new college football teams will take the field for the first time this season, including a record number of nine schools entering the NCAA in 2013. “ No other sport contributes more to the vibrancy of a college campus than football, and the trend of adding programs continues full force,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “ University and college presidents clearly see the value of having programs on their campuses, and we applaud them for understanding the role football can play in the educational experience of all their students. ”Universities and colleges are adding football at all levels, and administrators have developed sound plans, ensuring the new programs address the unique financial, academic and long-term objectives of their respective schools. The 56 institutions listed below, who have implemented firm plans during the past few years, coupled together the more than 20 schools with exploratory committees, create a clear and undeniable trend that presidents and trustees nationwide see the value of a football program as part of their overall academic mission. Since 1978 when the NCAA changed its method for tracking attendance figures, the number of schools playing NCAA football has steadily increased by 160 schools, or an average increase of 4.7 schools per year. The rationale for adding football varies at each institution, and all of the decision makers who helped develop a plan for launching a program explain that an in-depth study played a critical role in finding the right level of play and the proper financial balance. Small colleges may cite increasing enrollment and addressing gender imbalances while larger universities might highlight the role of football in raising the institution’s profile and its ability to attract research grants. All mention creating a more vibrant on-campus community and connecting with alumni. “With more than one million high school students playing football and less than 70,000 spots on college teams, there is plenty of room for expansion,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. “"

He first gained attention for film noir mysteries such as Laura (1944) and Fallen Angel (1945), while in the 1950s and 1960s, he directed a number of high-profile adaptations of popular novels and stage works. Several of these later films pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with topics which were then taboo in Hollywood, such as drug addiction ( The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955), rape ( Anatomy of a Murder, 1959) and homosexuality ( Advise & Consent, 1962).

LORI ANN COOK-NEISLER, The Pantagraph NORMAL — With the first day of the spring signing period approaching on April 15, Illinois State women’s basketball coach Barb Smith has been on the road recruiting. That push for new players took on considerable urgency Tuesday with the announcement that six players from last season’s squad will be transferring out of the Redbird program. Forward Sue Crump and guards Lindsay Smith, Stekara Hall and Kelli Tolar are leaving ISU with one year of eligibility remaining. Forward Zenobia Bess and guard Mackenzie Freeman had two seasons left with the Redbirds before departing. All six say they plan to finish their playing careers at another school. “When you have a season like we had the past year, changes are inevitable,” said Smith, whose second year at ISU produced a 2-28 record that is the worst in program history. “ Did I expect this much change? No."

"text": "College Advice & Resources What Does NCAA Division I, II or III Mean? By Jackie Burrell Updated 12/11/17Share Pin Email Ronald Martinez / Getty Images Colleges that belong to the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA designate themselves as Division I, II or III, according to NCAA guidelines about the number of teams, team size, game calendar and financial support. Within the world of college sports, Division I is the most intense and III the least. Students who enjoy sports but who do not qualify (or want) to play at a highly competitive level might explore club sports and intramural options too. Intramural and club sports are excellent ways to meet other students and get involved in campus life. NCAA Division IDivision I is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the U. S. D-I schools comprise the major athletic powers in the college division, with larger budgets, more advanced facilities, and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III or smaller schools that are competitive in athletics. In 2014, student athletes and the NCAA and debated whether they should be paid. The students said that their many hours devoted to their sport along with the money they brought it, justify their receipt of payment. In fact, Division I athletic programs generated $8.7 billion in revenue in 2009–2010. The NCAA turned down student-athletes' request for payment, but instead approved unlimited free meals and snacks."

Rockefeller leased the location from Parker Ranch [4] owner Richard Smart. [ 5] The hotel was named Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for the mountain Mauna Kea which is visible above the bay when not obscured by clouds. [ 6]Original plans, started in 1961, were to use architect John Carl Warnecke and build a series of small cottages, but those plans were abandoned. Instead the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill was hired, and architect Edward Charles Bassett designed a striking hotel structure in the modern style. [ 7] The open-air design allowed natural ventilation from the trade winds, although rooms had air conditioning available."

Not only known for her wisdom, Deborah was also known for her courage. She is the only woman of the Hebrew Bible who gained renown on her own merit, not because of her relationship to a man. She was truly remarkable: a judge, a military strategist, a poet, and a prophet. Deborah was only one of four women designated as a prophet in the Hebrew Bible, and as such, she was said to transmit the word and the will of God. Although Deborah wasn't a priestess who offered sacrifices, she did lead public worship services. Sparse Details About the Life of Deborah Deborah was one of the rulers of the Israelites prior to the monarchy period that began with Saul (circa 1047 BCE). These rulers were called mishpat —\"\" judges ,\"\"—an office that traced back to a time when Moses appointed assistants to help him resolve disputes among the Hebrews (Exodus 18). Their practice was to seek guidance from God through prayer and meditation before making a ruling. Therefore, many of the judges also were considered prophets who spoke \"\"a word from the Lord. \"\""

The building is considered a seminal achievement for its designer Fazlur Rahman Khan.

More than one million people visit its observation deck each year, making it one of Chicago's most popular tourist destinations. The structure was renamed in 2009 by the Willis Group as part of its lease on a portion of the tower's space.

Recent research has improved knowledge and understanding of this intricate aspect of dental practice. After studying this part you should know in what percentage of each tooth type you may expect unusual numbers of root canals and other anatomical variations. Key points Practitioners must be aware that the main root canals in a tooth may only provide access to the complexities of the root canal system, which must be fully cleaned of all microorganisms. Research has shown that the dental anatomy learned as a dental student may now be out of date. Knowledge of canal anatomy is essential in designing and executing access cavities that give straight line access to the main root canals.

Both undergraduate students and dentists on postgraduate courses frequently state that the reason they find root canal treatment so difficult, and the reason surveys frequently report inadequate treatment standards, is because they are working 'blind'. Unless a surgical microscope is available it is impossible to see down the root canal – to visualize exactly what the instruments are doing. An understanding of the architecture of the root canal system is therefore an essential prerequisite for successful root canal treatment ( see Part 1, Fig."

Thomas was the son of Sir John Seymour and Margaret Wentworth. He was the younger brother of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (1500-1552). He grew up at Wulfhall, the Seymour family home, in Wiltshire, a county in southwest England. The Seymours were a family of country gentry, who, like most holders of manorial rights, traced their ancestry to a Norman origin. [ 2] To his contemporaries, he was forceful and reckless, and also, very attractive to women. Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, a boyhood friend of King Edward, described Thomas Seymour as \"\"hardy, wise and liberal ... fierce in courage, courtly in fashion, in personage stately, in voice magnificent, but somewhat empty of matter.\"\" [ 3] And though ambitious, his brother, Edward Seymour, far surpassed and out-distanced him in their rivalry over control of their nephew, King Edward VI, and for power.

The two groups that appear most often are Irish and Irish Americans (the distinction is not always profitable, especially since many songs concern a sweetheart in Ireland yearning for someone in America or vice versa; they will both be \"\"Irish\"\" from here on in this essay) and African Americans. There are few songs about Africans, unless one counts material from such European imports as Suppé's Afrikareise and Verdi's Aïda. Irish songs are more numerous during the 1870s, African-American in the 1880s, but both ethnic groups are regular presences in all years from 1870 to 1885.\"\" Eilleen Allanna \"\" Composer: J. R. Thomas Published: 1876 (Music Division, Library of Congress)The images of the Irish come from many sources: the romantic Irish of Thomas Moore's Irish Melodies, the tradition of the stage Irishman, current \"\"Irish act\"\" comedians, and from the considerable Irish presence in 1870s America. There are, in fact, several images of the Irish in songs of this period: besides the comic stage Irishman and the brash young Irish American, there is also the romantic dreamer, often an immigrant, often pining for his home, often with a sweetheart in the old country. Many \"\"Irish\"\" songs are, in fact, love songs with only a place-name, a bit of accent, or perhaps only the name of the beloved to identify them as ethnic."

Prince Charles famously doesn't care for skyscrapers. He sees them as a vain attempt to assert masculinity, like a rock star with a cucumber down his trousers – or, as he puts it: \"\"Trying to make them ever taller than the other person's building is surely taking the commercial macho into the realms of adolescent lunacy\"\". Phallic icons or not, we're about to move into a new era of mega-tall buildings that will put structures like Chicago's Sears Tower, at 442 metres (1,450 feet) tall, and Taiwan's Taipei 101, at 508m, in the shade. George Efstathiou, a managing partner at the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, declares that \"\"the age of the super-skyscrapers is starting again\"\". Considering the scale of the structures on the way, he could well be right. The structure set to beat them all was announced at the end of March."

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the U. S. federal government cannot always directly perform their constitutional responsibilities. Specialized powers are therefore delegated to an agency, board, or commission. These administrative governmental bodies oversee and monitor activities in complex areas, such as commercial aviation, medical device manufacturing, and securities markets. Justice Breyer defines administrative law in four parts. Namely, the legal rules and principles that: (1) define the authority and structure of administrative agencies; (2) specify the procedural formalities employed by agencies; (3) determine the validity of agency decisions; and (4) define the role of reviewing courts and other governmental entities in relation to administrative agencies.

"text": "The Structure of a Ballad Kate Prudchenko A ballad, a type of narrative poem, is a song with a simple meter and rhyme scheme. It often contains repetitive refrains and a series of four-line stanzas. Ballads originally came from the oral tradition and, like all narrative poems, tell stories. Originally, ballads were an important form of poetry, but since the 16th century they have evolved into an important aspect of the English poetic tradition. Narrative Structure Unlike other types of narrative poems, such as epics, ballads tend to be narrowly focused. More specifically, a ballad tends to focus on a single dramatic event, which teaches the audience or the reader a lesson or a moral. Unlike epics, ballads also tend to have very little exposition, presenting only the minimal amount of external information, such as setting, necessary to understanding the story. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is an example of a ballad. Poetic Structure The primary identifying characteristic of a ballad’s poetic structure is its simple meter and rhyme scheme. A ballad often has a series of four-line stanzas with alternating tetrameter and trimeter."

Much of New York State has the potential for growing ginseng, and it can be an important source of income for many New Yorkers. Protection Status American ginseng is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international agreement between countries to ensure that international trade in certain plants and animals does not threaten their survival in the wild. American ginseng was listed in CITES Appendix II in 1975 due to concerns of the species being overharvested as a consequence of international trade. Appendix II allows trade that biologically sustainable and legal, and includes species that, although currently not threatened with extinction, may become so without trade controls. In order to ensure that American ginseng roots are legally and sustainably harvested, CITES permits issued by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service are required to export American ginseng. For more information about CITES and American ginseng, please see the links in the right column. Ginseng Program New York's ginseng program exists to ensure the survival of the species in the wild, compliance with all Federal and International laws and regulations, and the viability of New York ginseng as a valuable forest product. In 1987 regulations were adopted that established practices for the harvest and sale of American ginseng in New York State ( 6 NYCRR 193.4-193.8) (link leaves DEC website)."

"text": "\"Snakes of New York From the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry... New York state is home to 17 species of snakes. These animals, whose tubular, limbless bodies are instantly and universally recognized, produce mixed reactions among people, from fear to fascination. Serpents figure prominently in the mythologies of nearly all human cultures, sometimes as a symbol of evil and temptation. It is perhaps for this reason that snakes often are persecuted and killed without any understanding of their true nature. Snakes play critical roles in the environments where they occur, primarily by the position they hold in food webs in natural communities. Many snakes are top level predators; for example, a single rat snake can consume over 100 rodents a year.common garter snake Other snakes are important in the control they exert on insect and other invertebrate populations. All snakes form part of the diet of other predators such as hawks and foxes and thereby serve to link higher and lower feeding levels. Common Snakes of New York The most widespread and frequently encountered snakes in New York state are the garter snake and the water snake. Garter snakes use a wide variety of habitats, from woodlands to marshes to fields and exist quite well around human habitations. These snakes, like many other species, are variable in color and pattern; the basic color is dark brown or green with three yellowish stripes down their sides and back."

Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers). Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US. You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your credit union or can search this website for free."

The New York Rangers made the playoffs as the Presidents' Trophy winners with the most points (i.e. best record) during the regular season. They also came back from a 3–1 series deficit for the second consecutive year. The Detroit Red Wings increased their consecutive post-season appearance streak to 24 seasons, the longest current streak at the time and tied for the fourth-longest streak in NHL history. [ 1] The Winnipeg Jets qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the former Atlanta Thrashers franchise relocated to Winnipeg in 2011; the only time that the Thrashers/Jets franchise made the post-season was in 2007, and the last time that the city of Winnipeg hosted a playoff game was in 1996, the season before the previous Winnipeg Jets team relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, to become the Coyotes. [ 2] The Ottawa Senators became the first team in the NHL's modern era (since 1943–44) to overcome a 14-point deficit in the standings to clinch a playoff spot. [ 3] Also, the Calgary Flames returned to the playoffs after a six-year absence. In total, five Canadian NHL teams qualified for the post-season, the most since 2004. [ 4]The Los Angeles Kings became the first defending Stanley Cup champions since the Carolina Hurricanes in 2007 to fail to make the playoffs. [ 5] The Boston Bruins failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007 and became the first reigning Presidents' Trophy winners to miss the post-season since the Buffalo Sabres in 2008 (and the third overall).

[ 3] Part of the reason for the delay was due to uncertainties in a few of the newly integrated teams' stadiums; both the Buffalo Bills and Boston Patriots had stadiums inadequate for the NFL, and Tampa interests unsuccessfully courted both teams to move to the Tampa Bay area. [ 4] [5] Once Rich and Schaefer Stadiums were built for the Bills and Patriots respectively, the league was stable enough to begin expanding. Originally the proposed Tampa Bay expansion franchise was awarded to Tom Mc Closkey, a construction company owner from Philadelphia. [ 6] Mc Closkey quickly became dissatisfied with the financial arrangement with the NFL, and backed out of the deal a month later. [ 7] Hugh Culverhouse, a wealthy tax attorney from Jacksonville, who had failed in his bid to buy the Los Angeles Rams due to an unannounced sale to Robert Irsay, instead received the Tampa franchise.

"text": "The Stanley Cup Playoffs are widely considered the best postseason in any North American sport, and this year, which features no clear-cut favorites, should live up to these lofty expectations. The field was so wide open that many pundits had the No. 1 seeds ( Anaheim Ducks, New York Rangers) losing in the opening round. Ask a group of 10 hockey fans who they think will win it all, and you may get 10 different answers. The Rangers, winners of the 2014-15 President's Trophy, certainly felt pressure to come out on top. New York lost in the Final last spring to the Los Angeles Kings, and have done an admirable job avoiding a major hangover. The Blueshirts, who feature a lot of depth and a star goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist, were looking for their first Cup since 1994. The Ducks felt the heat too, especially head coach Bruce Boudreau. The veteran bench boss has enjoyed a lot of regular seasons success -- both in Washington and in Anaheim -- but this hasn't translated to the playoffs. The Ducks have won the Pacific Division for three straight campaigns under Boudreau's watch, however they didn't advance beyond the second round until this year's trip to the conference final."

"text": "2014 MLB Tickets: Average Price By Team March 28, 2014 6 Comments Opening day of the MLB season are just days away. For many teams, ticket prices on opening day will be one of the most expensive games of the season and well over the season average. Over the course of the season thousands of MLB tickets are available on the secondary market for each team daily, some more expensive than others. The secondary market averages for the 2014 MLB season don’t just have the best teams with the most expensive prices. The American League has the top five teams with the most expensive season average and the most expensive National League team isn’t expected to compete for its own division title for a few years. The team with the least expensive season average is one of the favorites to make a playoff appearance at the end of the season. After the addition of the second wild card team, more teams stay in playoff contention late in the season, making many late season games more competitive than they have been in the past. This keeps boosting ticket prices on the secondary market as fans will keep coming to the ballpark to see a team with a shot at the playoffs. Still, for teams with playoff hopes or not there’s no better way to spend a summer day than at the ballpark. This year’s season averages show the popularity of baseball isn’t dying and fans are more than willing to go to a game."

"text": "Here's what we know about the 2015 NHL draft order so far: the first 14 picks were determined in the draft lottery two weeks ago, with the Edmonton Oilers winning ineptly stumbling into the right to select Connor Mc David. The other 13 non-playoff teams fell into this order: Edmonton Oilers Buffalo Sabres Arizona Coyotes Toronto Maple Leafs Carolina Hurricanes New Jersey Devils Philadelphia Flyers Columbus Blue Jackets San Jose Sharks Colorado Avalanche Florida Panthers Dallas Stars Los Angeles Kings Boston Bruins The rest of the draft order gets a little complicated, though -- including the first round pick that was traded to the Flyers from the Tampa Bay Lightning at the trade deadline. Elliotte Friedman at Sportsnet shed some light on it Wednesday: Whoever wins the Stanley Cup picks 30th. The other finalist picks 29th. The two teams that lost in the conference finals pick 27th and 28th. Exact order is determined by who had fewer points in the regular season, with that club getting the 27th slot. Now, here comes the more-complicated part: draft choices 15-26. Teams eliminated in the first two rounds who did not win a division title come next, followed by those who did win a division, but lost before the Eastern and Western Finals. Again, fewest points equals a better selection. The Lightning did not win their division this year, but they did have the most points of any non-division winner in the NHL this year."

How much in average does a North`American Soccer League (USA 2nd Division Soccer) earn in a month? like a player from Fort Lauderdale Strkers, Puerto Rico Islanders, Tampa Bay Rowdies and that, in average how much does an NASL gets per mont? Is it more or less than an USL Pro player (3rd Division) is it really more... show more2 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: MLS player earn the most as that is top tier in the U. S. and Canada. A reserve player will earn $32,500 with all other salaries going up from there. As to USL PRO and NASL it really depends on the team. Most NASL teams will be paying more than most USL PRO teams. However, there are a number of USL PRO teams like Charleston, Rochester and Orlando who also paying decent wages competitive with most NASL teams. Today, the Montreal Impact probably have the highest payroll and unlike MLS who control all wages from the top, the NASL and USL model is more like the rest of the world with wages controlled by the team not the league. Players in the NASL have guaranteed wages but only get paid from the beginning of training camp until the last game of the season."

"text": "\"2012 NHL Lockout Tampa Bay Lightning among the least expensive fan experiences in the NHL for 2013According to Team Marketing Report 's annual Fan Cost Index research, the Tampa Bay Lightning increased their ticket prices a mere one percent post-lockout with an average ticket price of $38.12. By Patti Mc Donald Feb 19, 2013, 5:10pm ESTShare USA TODAY Sports The National Hockey League might have missed out on a few months of action because of the 2012 lockout, but they've seemed to make up for it on the business side at least. This season, the NHL has seen an overall price increase in tickets, food, and other game day items according to Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index (PDF). The 30 National Hockey League franchises have increased their prices in an average season ticket by 5.7 percent to $61.01 per ticket. Since the full-season cancellation of the 2004-05 NHL lockout, there has been a hefty 50 percent price increase on the average ticket. With the increases, it's obvious the League had faith in retaining its fans despite the massive negative effect of the lockout; the price increases reflect teams holding steady to the idea of continued despite this. Last season, the NHL reported a 5.4 percent increase in ticket prices (two teams showed a decrease) while attendance had increased 1.8 percent. The 2012-2013 lockout-shortened season will not be the first that had seen such price increases with the end of a league-implemented work-stoppage; the abbreviated 1994-95 season (also shortened to 48 games) saw the average ticket price spike 13.6 percent to $33.66. The next season saw a 6.2 percent increase. The overall Fan Cost Index is composed of a few variables: four average-price tickets, two small draft beers, four small drinks, four regular-size hot dogs, parking, two game programs and two of the least expensive adult sized hats in the arena operated by the team."

"text": "\"The North American Soccer League is a successor of a namesake league that represented the golden years of soccer in the USA with players like Johan Cruyff and Pelé roaming the greens. The North American Soccer League (NASL) is a professional men’s soccer league with ten teams from the United States and Canada competing for the Soccer Bowl. It is a 2nd division league, under Major League Soccer (MLS) and above USL Professional Division (USL Pro). League with a famous history that actually started in 2011The original NASL that operated from 1968 to 1984 and the current day league bear the same name although the latter was only founded in 2009. Several of the present-day NASL teams, however, play their games in cities where the former NASL had teams. The Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Tampa Bay Rowdies, and the most famous New York Cosmos clubs share the same names and similar jersey designs as their predecessors. Overview Country: the United States and Canada Confederation: CONCACAF Founded: November 10, 2009 Number of teams: 10 Level on the pyramid: 2nd division Domestic cup: U. S. Open Cup & Canadian Championship International cup: CONCACAF Champions League Champions: Minnesota United FC (2011), Tampa Bay Rowdies (2012), and New York Cosmos (2013) Average range of annual salaries: 15,000 to 30,000 $ / no salary cap Transfer window: 12 February – 6 May and 9 July – 8 August Number of allowed foreign players (per team): 7 Number of foreign players in NASL: 77 Average stadium attendances: 4,670The modern NASL actually began playing in 2011 following a 2010 season that saw NASL and USL teams play in a combined temporary 2nd division league. The number of teams has increased from eight, with some teams coming and going, to 10 in 2014 and will continue to expand. Instead of a Super Bowl there is a Soccer Bowl Similar to other Central American leagues, the schedule consists of two competitions, Spring and Fall, with the winner of the Spring season earning the right to host the Fall champion in a one-game playoff, the Soccer Bowl. The Spring season runs from early April until July 4, and following a one-month break, the Fall season runs from early August until early November."

The following is designed to assist the general public by providing basic answers to some of the most commonly asked questions. For additional information, please view the Court's General Information. What is Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is a legal process which allows a person (a \"\"Debtor\"\"), who owes more money than he or she can currently repay, to either (1) repay a portion of the money over time under Chapter 11, 12, or 13, or (2) have the entire debt forgiven (\"\"discharged\"\") under chapter 7. Under chapter 7, a Debtor may be required to surrender assets to a trustee. Bankruptcy is also available to businesses, corporations, and partnerships. Even municipal governments can file bankruptcy (under Chapter 9). After a Debtor has filed a case (i.e., \"\"petition\"\"), creditors must stop all collection efforts against the Debtor for a period of time, unless they get permission from the bankruptcy court to continue. This protection from collection efforts is referred to as the \"\"automatic stay.\"\""

With a long list of playoff appearances and various conference and division titles under their belt, the Cavaliers are always a leading contender for the NBA championships. The team plays at the Quicken Loans Arena, nicknamed \"\"The Q\"\" by fans, in downtown Ohio. Opened in 1994, the venue is also home to the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League and the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League. The spacious arena is the third-largest in the NBA and fits over 20,000 fans, making it easy to find cheap Cleveland Cavaliers tickets. While the Cavs don't have one major rival, they are known for engaging in heavy competition with a few teams in particular. The Wizards are one of the team's major adversaries, having faced off in the playoffs for three seasons in a row and gone head to head more times than any other team in the NBA during the last seven seasons."

A BLOWER supplies air through WIND LINES and RESERVOIRS to WIND CHESTS, where air is kept at a certain pressure for use on demand. The wind chests contain valves that open or shut the air flow into the PIPES, which set atop holes in the chests. Once a pipe is sounded, it can be softened in effect only if it is part of an ENCLOSED division (contained in a box with louvers). The louvers may be closed, thereby softening the sounding pipes (like closing the door on a practice room) by closing the EXPRESSION PEDAL. An enclosed division is also known as an \"\"expressive division,\"\" whereas an EXPOSED division (all sides are open) or an ENCASED division (only one side is open) are called \"\"non-expressive divisions.\"\" If the pipe is part of an exposed or encased division, it cannot be made to sound louder or softer by the organist. But an exposed, encased, or enclosed division can be made louder or softer by adding or retiring stops, thereby increasing the number of pipes sounding per key depressed. COMBINATIONS of stops may be pulled by hand, or may be set into memory and recalled through the use of the COMBINATION ACTION (including the THUMB PISTONS, TOE STUDS, SET BUTTON, and MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY ). The pipe organ consists of several major components: WIND SUPPLY--the blower, wind lines, and reservoirs that make a steady supply of pressurized air available for any pipe at any time."

It was also a season that included the lowest-scoring game in NBA history. It happened 49 years ago today on November 22, 1950 - the yawner of all yawners. The game pitted Fort Wayne against Minneapolis, and was played on the home court of the Lakers, who enjoyed a great home advantage. Their court was shorter and narrower than normal size. Their team was big, bulky and slow - all of which were perfectly suited for a slowdown game. In the game, the two teams combined for just 31 shots."

I just didn’t have any interest in tooling around under the hood to figure out how my car works. Except for replacing my air filters or changing the oil every now and then, if I ever had a problem with my car, I’d just take it into the mechanic and when he came out to explain what was wrong, I nodded politely and pretended like I knew what he was talking about. But lately I’ve had the itch to actually learn the basics of how cars work. I don’t plan on becoming a full on grease monkey, but I want to have a basic understanding of how everything in my car actually makes it go. At a minimum, this knowledge will allow me to have a clue about what the mechanic is talking about the next time I take my car in. Plus it seems to me that a man ought to be able to grasp the fundamentals of the technology he uses every day. When it comes to this website, I know about how coding and SEO works; it’s time for me to examine the more concrete things in my world, like what’s under the hood of my car. I figure there are other grown men out there who are like me — men who aren’t car guys but are a little curious about how their vehicles work. So I plan on sharing what I’m learning in my own study and tinkering in an occasional series we’ll call Gearhead 101."

With all of the negative articles about oil additives, which have been written and supported extensively by special interest groups, its time to tell the real truth about oil additives. In most cases they perform a positive function and with regular use can provide a number of benefits to vehicles and equipment. Tested Additives vs Marketing Companies First, lets get one thing clear, it’s important to distinguish from oil additives developed by companies that have been extensively tested, and others, usually made by individuals, without such testing and documentation. Anyone can put an additive package together and have a label made. There are many on the market, which have no real testing, even though, they claim they do. This is where additives have gotten a bad name. On the other hand there are a number of companies that sell additives that have extensive research and development teams that have tested their additive packages. For example, Lubrizol www.lubrizol.com whose revenues were over 4 billion dollars for 2005 specializes in additive packages including aftermarket engine and fuel treatments. Anyone doing this kind of volume is not selling snake oil to millions of dumb consumers—just doesn’t happen."

"text": "\"Notable former NBA players who became coaches By Ryan Carreon, Deseret News Published: May 30, 2013 10:17 p.m.1 Comment The Utah Jazz announced Wednesday that Hall of Famer Karl Malone will join the franchise's coaching staff in some capacity to help mentor the team's big men. Earlier in the week, one of Malone's former teammates, Jeff Hornacek, was hired as the new head coach of the Phoenix Suns. Hornacek, previously an assistant in Utah, and Malone are part of a long list of former players turned coaches. According to a study done by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, former basketball players who had long careers, or were selected as All-Stars, had statistically higher winning percentages as head coaches. \"\" Having a former All-Star player as your coach is worth about six extra places in the NBA rankings in team winning percentage,\"\" said Larry Kahn, a professor of labor economics and collective bargaining at Cornell’s ILR School. \"\" We were surprised at the strength of the statistical evidence. \"\" Using data from 15,000 basketball games between 1996 and 2004, researchers found that teams coached by former NBA All-Stars had an average winning percentage of .495, while coaches who were not All-Stars had an average winning percentage of .376. As Hornacek and Malone assume new coaching positions, here is a list of NBA players turned head coaches: Bill Russell Teams as a player: Boston Celtics 1956-69 Teams as a coach: Boston Celtics 1966-69 Seattle Super Sonics 1973-77 Sacramento Kings 1987-88 During his playing career, Russell was a 12-time NBA All-Star and a five-time NBA MVP. After playing for 10 years with the Boston Celtics, Russell was offered a job as player-coach of the Celtcs in 1966 to replace the retiring Red Auerbach. Russell accepted and became the first black coach in NBA history."

Coleman was born in Mobile, Alabama, but grew up and attended high school in Detroit, and attended college at Syracuse University. He was selected first overall in the 1990 NBA draft by the New Jersey Nets. Throughout his career, the left-handed Coleman was an effective low post scorer, averaging 16.5 points and 9.3 rebounds. He enjoyed his best years as a member of the New Jersey Nets, where he averaged 19.8 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. When Coleman entered the NBA, he was compared to elite power forwards such as Karl Malone and Charles Barkley, and expected to put up similar numbers, only with the added ability to shoot from three-point range. Instead, his career was overshadowed by numerous injuries. Sports Illustrated once remarked that \"\"Coleman could have been the best power forward ever; instead he played just well enough to ensure his next paycheck.\"\""

After attending college and law school, he served as a captain in World War I, following which he launched a legal and political career. In 1930, after multiple failed election attempts, and serving as a regional leader in the American Legion, he became a utility commissioner under the administration of Indiana Governor Paul V. Mc Nutt. Four years later, Minton was elected to the United States Senate. During the campaign, he defended New Deal legislation in a series of addresses in which he suggested it was not necessary to uphold the Constitution during the Great Depression crisis. Minton's campaign was denounced by his political opponents, and he received more widespread criticism for an address that became known as the \"\"You Cannot Eat the Constitution\"\" speech. As part of the New Deal Coalition, the fiercely partisan Minton championed President Franklin D. Roosevelt 's unsuccessful court packing plans in the Senate and became one of his top Senate allies. After Minton failed in his 1940 Senate re-election bid, Roosevelt appointed him as a judge to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. After Roosevelt's death, President Harry Truman, who had developed a close friendship with Minton during their time together in the Senate, nominated him to the Supreme Court."

W. Robinson, Richmond, Virginia. Photograph, 1947. Bayard Rustin Papers, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress (068.00.00) Courtesy of Walter Naegle In the spring of 1941, hundreds of thousands of whites were employed in industries mobilizing for the possible entry of the United States into World War II. Black labor leader A. Philip Randolph threatened a mass march on Washington unless blacks were hired equally for those jobs, stating: “It is time to wake up Washington as it has never been shocked before.” To prevent the march, which many feared would result in race riots and international embarrassment, President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order that banned discrimination in defense industries. His Executive Order 8802, June 25, 1941, established the Committee on Fair Employment Practices (known as FEPC) to receive and investigate discrimination complaints and take appropriate steps to redress valid grievances. The fight against fascism during World War II brought to the forefront the contradictions between America’s ideals of democracy and equality and its treatment of racial minorities. Throughout the war, the NAACP and other civil rights organizations worked to end discrimination in the armed forces. During this time African Americans became more assertive in their demands for equality in civilian life as well. The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), an interracial organization founded to seek change through nonviolent means, conducted the first sit-ins to challenge the South’s Jim Crow laws."

"text": "Korean War (1950–1953). War came to Korea in 1950–53 as both a civil war on the Korean peninsula and the first military clash of the Cold War between forces of the Soviet Union and its Communist clients and the United States and its allies. It was, therefore, potentially the most dangerous war in world history. Even before the war against Germany and Japan drew to a close in 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union assumed competing roles in shaping the postwar world. As the two undisputed victorious powers, they influenced the course of every political problem emerging from the debris of war. Unfortunately, hostility between the two powers increased at the same time and threatened the outbreak of another war, which after 1949 risked the use of atomic weapons. The conservative forces eventually coalesced in the Republic of Korea under the leadership of President Syngman Rhee. A North Korean state, The Democratic People's Republic created by the Soviet Union and headed by Premier Kim Il‐sung, adopted a policy of opposition to Rhee's government and for unification of the Korean peninsula by armed force. North Korean ground forces crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea about 4:30 A. M. on 25 June 1950 (24 June Washington time). The main attack, led by two divisions and a tank brigade, aimed at Uijongbu and Seoul."

Lee. In 1887 Congress passed the Hatch Act, which provided for the establishment of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888. The Cooperative Extension Service was established in 1914 by the Smith-Lever Act. The university has since had its mission expanded and redefined by the Legislature."

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once again on Monday invoked the name of a controversial US Army general during the presidential debate — a seemingly odd choice, considering the officer almost started another world war and was later fired for insubordination. Hillary Clinton \"\"tells you how to fight ISIS on her website,\"\" Trump said of the Democratic nominee. \"\" I don't think Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur would like that very much. \"\" Mac Arthur has quite a storied, yet controversial, military career. He served in World War I and World War II, and received the Medal of Honor for his defense of the Philippines in 1942. But his actions in Korea almost led to a third world war, and a very public spat between Mac Arthur and President Harry Truman resulted in his firing for insubordination. \"\" It was with the deepest personal regret that I found myself compelled to take this action,\"\" Truman said in 1951, telling the nation he would be relieving the general of his command. \"\" General Mac Arthur is one of our greatest military commanders. But the cause of world peace is more important than any individual. \"\""

SARAH HOFFMAN/THE WORLD-HERALDIn its first two years of full Division I eligibility, UNO flirted with an NCAA tournament berth three times. The Mavericks held late leads in the Summit League’s 2015 volleyball final, 2016 men’s soccer championship match and 2017 men’s basketball title game. Each time, they fell short. But Tom Douple has no doubt that UNO will eventually get over the hump. The Summit League commissioner said he has been impressed by the immediate success the Mavs have had in Division I.“It’s been outstanding. They have done a great job,” he said. “ They knew what the challenges were, but they met them. I can’t be prouder of what they’ve done in all sports. They’ve been a great addition for us. ”Douple said he always thought UNO would make the Summit stronger, and he thinks the Mavs have done that."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History What countries were involved in the korean war?who was involved in the korean war? how'd they end up choosing sides and joining in? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Korean War was an escalation of border clashes between two rival Korean regimes, each of which was supported by external powers, with each trying to topple the other through political and conventional tactics. In a very narrow sense, some may refer to it as a civil war, though many other factors were at play. [ 17] After failing to strengthen their cause in the free elections held in South Korea during May 1950 [18] and the refusal of South Korea to hold new elections per North Korean demands, the communist North Korean Army assaulted the South on June 25, 1950. The conflict was then expanded by the United States and the Soviet Union's involvement as part of the larger Cold War. The main hostilities were during the period from June 25, 1950 until the armistice (ceasefire agreement) was signed on July 27, 1953. In South Korea, the war is often called 6·25 or 6·25 War (Korean: 6·25 전쟁), from the date of the start of the conflict or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng (Korean: 한국전쟁; Hanja: 韓國戰爭, literally \"\"Korean War\"\"). In North Korea, while commonly known as the Korean War, it is formally called the Jogug Gaebang Jeonjaeng or Fatherland Liberation War (Korean: 조국해방전쟁; Hanja: 祖國解放戰爭). In the United States, the conflict was officially termed a police action — the Korean Conflict — rather than a war, largely in order to avoid the necessity of a declaration of war by the U. S. Congress."

Riley, Kansas & Officer Candidate School In April 1942, when Jackie Robinson reported for duty in Los Angeles after being drafted, his name was already well-known for his distinguished athletic career at UCLA. Still, fame did not dismiss one from the draft. In the Army, Jackie further developed his courage and know-how in challenging the injustices of racism, for although the military had begun to integrate some of its facilities and programs, plenty of prejudice could be found among its ranks, and formal policy rarely went above “separate but equal.” Furthermore, official War Department documents labeled black soldiers as undisciplined and inferior in almost every way to their white counterparts. This attitude explains the fact that although Uncle Sam drafted more than 800,000 African-Americans, very few became officers and most were kept out of combat. For Corporal Jack Robinson of Ft. Riley, Kansas, this was unacceptable."

"text": "Presidential1945Truman drops hint to Stalin about a terrible new weapon Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite On this day in 1945, President Harry S. Truman nonchalantly hints to Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin that the United States has successfully developed a new weapon. In his diary, Truman privately referred to the new weapon, the atomic bomb, as the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. The United States had successfully tested the world’s first atomic weapon near Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. Truman received the news while in Potsdam, Germany, conferring with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin on post-World War II policy in Europe. On July 17, Truman told Churchill of the test’s success and the two agreed to put off telling Stalin about what Truman called the dynamite news until later–Truman first wanted to get Stalin to agree to enter the Pacific war on the Allies’ side with no strings on it. On July 25, after receiving Stalin’s pledge to join the U. S. in the war against Japan in the Pacific, Truman casually informed the Soviet leader that the United States had a new weapon of unusual destructive force. Although Stalin did not appear to be impressed by the news, Truman hoped the information would increase the pressure on Stalin to concede to the Allies’ demands regarding the post-war division of Europe. In his diary entry for July 25, Truman wrote that the new weapon would be used against military targets in Japan before August 10. He specifically mentioned avoiding women and children and mused it is certainly a good thing for the world that Hitler’s crowd or Stalin’s did not discover this atomic bomb. It turned out that Truman would not need the Soviets’ help in the Pacific after all."

In the 2017 season, the Blazers will compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the West Division of Conference USA (CUSA). The team will be coached by Bill Clark, who also coached the 2014 Blazers, the team's most recent season. The Blazers play their home games at Legion Field, which has a seating capacity of 71,594. The Blazers have made two postseason bowl appearances. On November 30, 2014, a day after the Blazers had become bowl eligible for the first time since 2004, Sports Illustrated reported that UAB was planning to fire athletic director Brian Mackin and end the football program. [ 2] On December 2, UAB president Ray Watts officially announced that the school would be shutting down the football program, as well as the bowling and rifle programs, at the end of the 2014–15 academic year. He stated that the main reason for the shutdown was the rapidly increasing cost to field a competitive football team. According to Watts, projected costs of a credible football program would cost the school $49 million over the next five years, over the $20 million a year already spent on the program, and that after five years this cost would likely continue to rise. [ 3] On June 1, 2015, Watts announced the reversal of the decision to end UAB football due to the public opinion against the decision and the public fundraising of more than $27 million towards the program."

Genetic sequences, images from pathology biopsies and lab tests, and information about how patients respond to treatment, to name just a few. Along with this data are the bewildering names of new disciplines that try to make sense of this information overload -- genomics, proteomics, immunoproteomics, metabalomics, transcriptomics. And overarching all of this is an effort commonly called bioinformatics, which tries to use computing to find better ways to coordinate the data, make sense of it all and mine it for valuable discoveries. Which brings us to Jonas Almeida. Almeida is a recent addition to the University of Alabama at Birmingham medical center, recruited away from the prestigious University of Texas-MD Anderson Cancer Center in January 2011 to launch a newly formed Division of Informatics in the med school's pathology department. At MD Anderson as a professor of bioinformatics, Almeida was deeply involved in the Cancer Genome Atlas, a shared site for cancer data started with the help of National Cancer Institute funding in 2006. Its utility was seen just last week in a TCGA study of gene mutations in colon and rectal cancers. Researchers used the shared data to show that the patterns in colon and rectal cancers were the same, regardless of where they came from."

"text": "Neuropsychology Training For more than 20 years, the Division of Neuropsychology in the Department of Neurology at UAB has offered clinical psychology interns, medical psychology graduate students at UAB a rotation, practicum, or assistantship in geriatric and adult neuropsychology. The Neuropsychology Division also offers a two year postdoctoral fellowship in clinical ne uropsychology. The UAB Clinical Neuropsycho logy Fellowship is a member program of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN). Fellows receive broad and intensive training in adult clinical neuropsychology, with specialty experience in the areas of geriatric neuropsychology, movement disorders, and epilepsy. The role of clinical neuropsychology in care and treatment of t he elderly has become increasingly important in thelast three decades. As the population of the United States ages, it is essential that clinical psychologists receive training in the assessment and treatment of older adults with cognitive impairment. Geriatric neuropsychology, a subspecialty of neuropsychology, focuses on the assessment of normal and abnormal cognitive, functional, and psychological changes which accompany the adult aging process. Clinical training focuses on outpatient assessment of adults and older adults with a wide v ariety of neurological disorders. These disorders include mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease, frontal lobe dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, stroke/vascular dementia, brain cancer, multiple scleroses, as well as other disorders seen in neurology. Emphasis is placed on diagnosis and report writing."

In December 1873, the State Board accepted the transfer of title to the school after a legislative act was passed authorizing the state to fund a Normal School, and George N. Card was named President. Thus, in 1874, this predecessor of Alabama State University became America's first state-supported educational institution for blacks. This began ASU's history as a \"\"teachers' college. \"\" In 1878, the second president, William Paterson, was appointed. He is honored as a founder of Alabama State University and was the president for 37 of the school's first 48 years. Paterson was instrumental in the move from Marion to Montgomery in 1887."

Effective Date: 10/11/2007Responsible Party: Accounting Contacts: None Assigned Administrative Category: Financial Affairs Applies To: Faculty, Staff Keyword (s): Imprest Cash, Petty Cash, Cash Material Original Source: Imprest Cash / Petty Cash Fund Procedure A petty cash fund is used to facilitate minor emergency payments that cannot be handled through any other UAB purchasing/payables procedures. This type of fund is used for expenditures and therefore only involves an outflow of cash, i.e. revenues should never be deposited into a petty cash fund. Periodically, or as needed, the petty cash fund is reimbursed to its original amount to replenish the cash previously spent. Petty cash funds cannot be used for such closely audited expenses as travel or entertainment. Petty cash funds should never be used to cash checks and should never include personal employee checks. Money should never be borrowed from a petty cash fund as an IOU. Cash advances from the petty cash fund are inappropriate; the expense should be incurred and then reimbursed. It is also inappropriate to use the petty cash fund for any purpose other than the specific purpose of the fund as outlined in the initial request for the fund."

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) traces its roots to the 1859 founding of the Medical College of Alabama and the 1936 opening of the Birmingham Extension Center of The University of Alabama. In 1945 the Medical College of Alabama was moved from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham and the University's Medical Center was founded. Later, in November of 1966, the Extension Center and the Medical Center were merged to form the \"\"University of Alabama in Birmingham,\"\" an organizational component of The University of Alabama (in Tuscaloosa). In 1969 UAB became an independent institution, one of the autonomous universities within the newly created three-campus University of Alabama System. Today, UAB is a comprehensive urban university with a nationally recognized academic health center. UAB is the only public, four-year degree granting university in the state's largest metropolitan area. UAB is the largest research institution in the state of Alabama and the university is the largest employer in Birmingham.

"text": "\"Blood pressure consists of two numbers. Systolic pressure, the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart beats, is the upper number. Diastolic pressure, the force exerted when the heart is at rest, is on the bottom — in more ways than one. Systolic pressure attracts the lion’s share of attention from physicians and patients, says UAB cardiologist Jason Guichard, M. D., Ph. D.“Physicians are busy people, and like it or not they often focus on a single number,” Guichard said. “ Systolic blood pressure is the focus, and diastolic pressure is almost completely ignored.” That is a mistake, he argues. “ The majority of your arteries feed your organs during systole. But your coronary arteries are different; they are surrounding the aortic valve, so they get blood only when the aortic valve closes — and that happens in diastole. ”Diastolic pressure has been getting more attention lately, however, thanks in part to an influential paper in Hypertension, written in 2011 by Guichard and Ali Ahmed, M. D., then a professor of medicine in UAB’s Division of Gerontology, Geriatrics and Palliative Care and now the associate chief of staff for Health and Aging at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.

Named after Worcester, England, as of the 2010 Census the city's population was 181,045, [4] making it the second most populous city in New England after Boston. [ 5] Worcester is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Boston, 50 miles (80 km) east of Springfield and 40 miles (64 km) north of Providence. Due to its location in Central Massachusetts, Worcester is known as the \"\"Heart of the Commonwealth\"\", thus, a heart is the official symbol of the city. However, the heart symbol may also have its provenance in lore that the mass-produced Valentine's Day card was invented in the city. [ 6]Worcester was considered its own distinct region apart from Boston until the 1970s. Since then, Boston's suburbs have been moving out further westward, especially after the construction of Interstate 495 and Interstate 290. The Worcester region now marks the western periphery of the Boston-Worcester-Providence (MA-RI-NH) U. S. Census Combined Statistical Area (CSA), or Greater Boston. The city features many examples of Victorian-era mill architecture. It is home of the University of Massachusetts Medical School."

[ 6] Prior to the charter, the University of Hartford did not exist as an independent entity rather in the chronicles of Hillyer College, The Hartford Art School, and The Hartt School. The Hartford Art School, which commenced operation in 1877, was founded by a group of women in Hartford, including Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mark Twain 's wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, as the Hartford Society for Decorative Art. Its original location was at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the first public art museum in the United States. It is still associated with the museum today. Hillyer College, which was named for the U. S. Civil War General Charles Hillyer, was created as a part of the Hartford YMCA in 1879."

"text": "University of Maine cuts cost for Mass. students Fred Field for The Boston Globe UMaine senior Karissa Keating of North Andover is happy about a program to attract more students from Massachusetts. By Jennifer Fenn Lefferts Globe Correspondent December 14, 2015The University of Maine, in a first for a New England flagship campus, will be slashing tuition for students from Massachusetts and other Northeastern states as it tries to combat dwindling revenue and enrollment. Qualifying students from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania will pay the same tuition and fees at UMaine in Orono as they would at their home state’s flagship institution. That means some students can cut tuition costs in half. For example, a Massachusetts student would pay the in-state UMass Amherst price of $14,141 instead of UMaine’s out-of-state rate of $28,880. The savings would be $14,709. Advertisement“I haven’t seen any other program like it at any other New England public college or university,’’ said Wendy Lindsay, director of the regional student program at the New England Board of Higher Education. She said there are a few tuition discount programs locally but nothing as inclusive as UMaine’s Flagship Match — at least not yet. Get Fast Forward in your inbox: Forget yesterday's news.

"text": "The 25 Highest-Paid College Coaches of 2018Last Updated: February 12, 2018College Athletics, without a doubt, is big business, and universities stand to make huge sums of money every year on successful programs (the NCAA as a whole reported revenue of $989 million in the 2014 fiscal year). But it takes money to make money, and big universities are willing to write big paychecks for top-notch coaches who can get the gold (literally and figuratively). While the median annual salary for an average head football coach might be $31,460 looking at coaches across the board (bls.org 2016), when you start looking at head coaches at top schools in the NCAA, those numbers skyrocket, surpassing the salaries of everyone else in the university multiple times over. Moreover, the “big money” in college coaching is concentrated in the two sports with the biggest draw: football takes the cake, with men’s basketball right behind it. In fact, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, your state’s highest-paid public employee is most likely a college football or men’s basketball coach! * * * Infographic by Deadspin. With that in mind, we have assembled a list of the top 25 highest paid coaches in college sports, ranked by annual salary in 2017. Note that this not a list of the top 25 “highest-earning” coaches, but of the “highest-paid.” We focus solely on what universities pay their coaches as their base salary, and do not include bonuses or any outside income. The numbers shown are drawn from a reliable and accurate annual poll performed by USA Today, based on contract information provided by the schools, and/or publically available tax return information."

College basketball: UCF's 7-6 center Tacko Fall is making his presence felt Brian Mull | NCAA.com Last Updated - Dec 9, 2016 19:46 ESTContact| Archive| RSSEver wonder where to find a jump rope to fit a 7-foot-6 man? The UCF men’s basketball staff faced this dilemma last summer while striving to improve the agility of sophomore center Tacko Fall. Searching sporting goods stores was no luck, and the internet produced nothing. Assistant coach Jamill Jones had an idea. He found a cord clothesline, like the ones in backyards in city neighborhoods. And soon, Fall was jumping rope with Jones and his teammates. Fall is the tallest player in college basketball, and one of the 40 tallest people in the world, according to ESPN. But he wants to be more than a side act. During the offseason, he sweated under the Orlando sun, in a swimming pool and inside the UCF practice facility to increase stamina, gain strength, improve mobility and make a greater impact in just his fourth season playing basketball."

Here at UMass there are two wireless options available to Faculty/Staff and Students. The two wireless signals are UMASS and Eduroam. UMASS is a wireless signal that any computer and device is able to access. When first accessing UMASS, there is a log in page that pops up when opening your browser. This is where you need to log in using your net ID and password. The only thing with UMASS is that the connection resets every 2 hours and you have to log in again to get access to the internet. If you are looking for a more permanent wireless connection then you should use Eduroam. This is IT User Services’s protected network. However because it is protected, you cannot just log in to it normally like you do with the UMASS network."

The scenic waterfront campus, with easy access to downtown Boston, is located next to the John F. Kennedy Library and Presidential Museum, the Commonwealth Museum and Massachusetts State Archives, and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. Part of the UMass system, UMass Boston combines a small-college experience with the vast resources of a major research university. With a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio, students easily interact with professors because most teaching occurs in small class sizes. Ninety-three percent of full-time faculty hold the highest degree in their fields. UMass Boston’s academic excellence is reflected by a student body of 16,415 undergraduate and graduate students. In fall 2017, the university’s 11 colleges and schools offered 83 undergraduate programs (bachelor’s degrees, undergraduate certificates, post-baccalaureate certificates) and 130 graduate programs (master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, graduate certificates, CAGS, and post-masters certificates). The Honors College serves 763 students who thrive on intellectual challenge. Enriched courses probe more deeply into theory or venture further into application. UMass Boston’s diverse student body provides a global context for student learning, and its location in a major U. S. city provides connections to employers in industries such as finance, health care, technology, service, and education, offering students opportunities to gain valuable in-school experience via internships, clinicals, and other career-related placements."

Founded in 1819 by Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson, UVA is known for its historic foundations, student-run honor code, and secret societies. UNESCO designated UVA as America's first collegiate World Heritage Site in 1987, an honor shared jointly with Jefferson's nearby homestead, Monticello. [ 4] The university's original governing Board of Visitors included Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. Monroe was the sitting President of the United States at the time of its foundation. Earlier Presidents Jefferson and Madison were UVA's first two rectors, and Jefferson conceived and designed the original courses of study and Academical Village. UVA is the first elected member of the research-driven Association of American Universities within the American South, since 1904, and remains the only AAU member in Virginia. The university is classified as a Research University with Very High Research by the Carnegie Foundation, and is considered Virginia's flagship university by the College Board. [ 5] [6] [7] Its recent research efforts have been recognized by such scientific media as the journal Science, which named UVA faculty as discovering two of its top ten global scientific breakthroughs for 2015.

With that in mind, we’re proud to present you with Unigo’s 2010 Rankings for The New Ivies, a quintessential list of schools every top-caliber student should take very seriously. Carnegie Mellon University The students at Carnegie Mellon, in Pittsburgh, PA, don’t beat around the bush. “ Here is CMU's big selling point: the academics. They are great.” The approximately 6,000 undergrads at this Pittsburgh, PA school won’t stop raving about their “brilliant” professors who go out of their way to “know who you are”, and the “truly intellectual environment” this creates. There’s something else it also creates: “a workload that is not to be taken lightly.” “ We’re forced into late night work/study sessions every other day,” said one. As a result, the rumor that “Carnegie Mellon is where fun goes to die” might just be accurate."

"text": "\"METS: An Overview & Tutorial Introduction Maintaining a library of digital objects of necessity requires maintaining metadata about those objects. The metadata necessary for successful management and use of digital objects is both more extensive than and different from the metadata used for managing collections of printed works and other physical materials. While a library may record descriptive metadata regarding a book in its collection, the book will not dissolve into a series of unconnected pages if the library fails to record structural metadata regarding the book's organization, nor will scholars be unable to evaluate the book's worth if the library fails to note that the book was produced using a Ryobi offset press. The same cannot be said for a digital version of the same book. Without structural metadata, the page image or text files comprising the digital work are of little use, and without technical metadata regarding the digitization process, scholars may be unsure of how accurate a reflection of the original the digital version provides. For internal management purposes, a library must have access to appropriate technical metadata in order to periodically refresh and migrate the data, ensuring the durability of valuable resources. The Making of America II project (MOA2) attempted to address these issues in part by providing an encoding format for descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata for textual and image-based works. METS, a Digital Library Federation initiative, attempts to build upon the work of MOA2 and provide an XML document format for encoding metadata necessary for both management of digital library objects within a repository and exchange of such objects between repositories (or between repositories and their users). Depending on its use, a METS document could be used in the role of Submission Information Package (SIP), Archival Information Package (AIP), or Dissemination Information Package (DIP) within the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model. A METS document consists of seven major sections: METS Header - The METS Header contains metadata describing the METS document itself, including such information as creator, editor, etc."

There are a few reasons why this widely circulated advice is counter to reason, one of which is the sunscreen itself. Every year the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases their annual guide to sunscreens, 1 and this year's data again shows that you must be very cautious when choosing sunscreen to apply to your skin. Two-thirds of the sunscreens analyzed by EWG did not work well or contained potentially hazardous ingredients. This included many of the most popular brands on the market. If you use sunscreen purchased from a drug store, grocery store, or discount chain, there's a high chance your sunscreen is on EWG's worst sunscreens list. So do yourself (and your kids) a favor by getting up to speed which sunscreens are safe, and which are toxic, before slathering up again. EWG Releases Toxic Sunscreens' List Top-selling sunscreen brands including Neutrogena, Rite Aid, Walgreens \"\"Well\"\" brand, \"\"Up and Up\"\" brand from Target, and Coppertone were among those that made the most toxic list. Most contained the following three \"\"red flag\"\" ingredients. If you see them listed on the label of your sunscreen, throw it away and choose another:1."

"text": "The 100 Best U. S. Colleges and Universities by State The Top Four-Year College and the Top University in Each State What are the best colleges and universities in America considered geographically by state? In this ranking we present the best four-year liberal arts college and the best full-fledged university in each of America’s 50 states. Most rankings of colleges and universities are top-heavy with schools from the East Coast (the Ivy League, MIT, etc. ), California (Stanford, Cal Berkeley, etc. ), and a few schools scattered throughout the rest of the country (University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.). In this ranking, we make geographical diversity our main focus, looking alas for the best education offered in each state, from Alabama to Wyoming. Our criteria for putting a school on this list include the reputation of the school and its faculty, its dedication to a broad liberal arts education, its accreditation, and its overall academic caliber compared to other institutions of the same type within the same state. Some states have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to institutions of higher learning (such as Massachusetts and California). In those cases, our job was not easy. Where two institutions were dominant—one primarily oriented towards the liberal arts and the other towards science and engineering—we went with the liberal arts school as offering a broader range of excellence across the curriculum (hence Harvard over MIT)."

"text": "Safety & First Aid Best Sunscreen for Kids and Infants Sunscreen and sun safety By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated June 23, 2017Share Pin Email Print Image Source/Digital Vision/Getty Images When choosing a sunscreen for their baby, toddler, or young child, parents typically make their choice on a sunscreen using only a few characteristics: The highest SPF they can find, typically 50+ or 100+A kids' brand (Aveeno Baby, Banana Boat Kids, California Baby, Coppertone Kids, Coppertone Waterbabies, Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids, Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby, etc. ) While it is fine to use these, they are really not that much different from those that are made for adults, so you don't necessarily have to buy a separate sunscreen just for your kids. Remember that a sunscreen isn't better just because it is more expensive. In fact, some of the highest rated sunscreens in a Consumer Reports test were the least expensive, including Up & Up Sport Continuous Spray SPF 30 (Target) and Walgreens Sport Continuous Spray SPF 50. All of the most popular sunscreen brands tested by Consumer Reports tested either good or very good, though. What's New in Sunscreens While sunscreen sprays were recently the latest and greatest sunscreen technology that everyone had to have and try, this year you will find many new types of sunscreens, including those that are: Tear free Foaming lotions Wet skin sprays Non-greasy or dry touch lotions that are non-comedogenic (won't cause pimples)While I usually think many new ideas are just gimmicks to sell more of the same old products, if you have ever gotten sunscreen in your child's eye, you will welcome the tear-free sunscreens. Best Sunscreens Things to look for that would indicate that you are buying the 'best sunscreen ,' include that it:provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.has an SPF of at least 15 to 30. You could go for a higher SPF, but most experts believe that these high SPF sunscreens don't provide that much extra protection. Some experts go as far as to say the SPF rating should be capped at SPF 30 or SPF 50, which provides protection against 97 to 98 percent of UVB rays. Using a high SPF sunscreen might provide more protection for those parents who don't use enough sunscreen and don't reapply it often enough, though.is water-resistant."

The coaching cliché was put to the test when Florida and Virginia met with a spot to the CWS Finals on the line. The Gators and Cavaliers are old hands in Omaha and the only schools with four College World Series appearances since 2009. Brandon Waddell toed the rubber for the Wahoos, and entering the game he was the second-best pitcher in the CWS, trailing only Vanderbilt’s Philip Pfeifer in the stats department. It was his 52nd career start, the most all-time in Virgina program history.2015 COLLEGE WORLD SERIESThomas: UVa win sets up Finals rematch with Vandy Vander Voort: Towns sparks UVa to another win in June GAME 13: Virginia 5, Florida 4 Box Highlights Gilberto: Veteran Vandy squad returns to CWS Finals Vander Voort: TCU's wild tournament ride ends GAME 12: Vanderbilt 7, TCU 1 Box Highlights Vander Voort: UVa can draw from experience after loss Sellner: Florida's offense continues to click GAME 11: Florida 10, Virginia 5 Box Highlights Vander Voort: TCU continues to ride Energy Train GAME 10: TCU 8, LSU 4 Box Highlights Gilberto: Florida's Alonso redeems himself with homer Sellner: Gators hold steady approach for Virginia GAME 9: Florida 10, Miami 2 Box Highlights Gilberto: The story behind TCU's Jones' thumb guard Vander Voort: Wiel's blast the difference in pitcher's duel GAME 8: Vanderbilt 1, TCU 0 Box Highlights Sellner: LSU regains swagger, avoids elimination Vander Voort: Behind the scenes with organist Pawlak GAME 7: LSU 5, CSU Fullerton 3 Box Highlights Gilberto: MLB All-Star Cordero returns to CSF bullpen Vander Voort: Waddell, Sborz combine for gem GAME 6: Virginia 1, Florida 0 Box Highlights Gilberto: Canes' Heyward steals show in CWS arms race GAME 5: Miami 4, Arkansas 3 Box Highlights Sellner: Vandy walks off in 20 hours of baseball madness GAME 4: Vandy 4, CSU Fullerton 3 Box Highlights Vander Voort: Morrison nabs first postseason win GAME 3: TCU 10, LSU 3 Box Highlights Gilberto: Bottom of the lineup sparks UF offense GAME 2: Florida 15, Miami 3 Box Highlights Sellner: Pinero's aggressive running crucial in UVa.

"text": "The 100 Best U. S. Colleges and Universities by State The Top Four-Year College and the Top University in Each State What are the best colleges and universities in America considered geographically by state? In this ranking we present the best four-year liberal arts college and the best full-fledged university in each of America’s 50 states. Most rankings of colleges and universities are top-heavy with schools from the East Coast (the Ivy League, MIT, etc. ), California (Stanford, Cal Berkeley, etc. ), and a few schools scattered throughout the rest of the country (University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.). In this ranking, we make geographical diversity our main focus, looking alas for the best education offered in each state, from Alabama to Wyoming. Our criteria for putting a school on this list include the reputation of the school and its faculty, its dedication to a broad liberal arts education, its accreditation, and its overall academic caliber compared to other institutions of the same type within the same state. Some states have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to institutions of higher learning (such as Massachusetts and California). In those cases, our job was not easy. Where two institutions were dominant—one primarily oriented towards the liberal arts and the other towards science and engineering—we went with the liberal arts school as offering a broader range of excellence across the curriculum (hence Harvard over MIT)."

Nicknamed “Mr. Jefferson’s University,” the university continues to pay tribute to its founding father, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson’s legacy is visible everywhere, from the layout of the campus buildings to the close relationships the university fosters between students and faculty. This venerable institution, which will soon celebrate its 200th birthday, also offers a highly competitive and well-regarded undergraduate education that’s in tune with the modern era; for example, the popular website Reddit was introduced by two UVA alums. If you’re a resident of Virginia, UVA even sweetens the deal with greatly reduced in-state tuition. Interested in UVA? Read on to learn more about this exceptional public university, the opportunities it offers its students, and how to navigate its application procedures. Introducing UVAThe University of Virginia is the flagship university of Virginia’s state college system and is generally considered a public university, though its law and business schools are now private institutions. One of the university’s greatest claims to fame is its strong ties to key figures in the history of the United States. Former U. S. President and writer of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson not only founded the university, but also had a hand in designing its curriculum."

"text": "Iman Razak, studied at Malaysia Answered Feb 3, 2016By law, windshields must be made of laminated glass, which means they're formed from three parts: two 2.1-millimeter layers of glass separated by an 0.8-millimeter piece of stretchy plastic. The layer of plastic helps windshields absorb nearly all of the sun's ultraviolet rays. Plastic is naturally good at absorbing UV rays and can be made with extra UV absorbers to protect even more. Windshields absorb 100 percent of UVB rays, which cause sunburn, and around 98 percent of UVA rays, which don't cause sunburn but can do long-term damage to the skin. That gives windshields a sun protection factor - or SPF - of 50 or more, the equivalent of some of the strongest sunscreens. Side windows are usually made from cheaper tempered glass, which is around 4 millimeters thick and doesn't include a layer of plastic. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into tiny pieces, to protect the occupants in a crash. But unless they're tinted for privacy, side windows usually absorb only 65 percent of UV rays. That gives them an SPF of around 16, the same as some of the lowest grades of sunscreen. Some Tinted Film Supplier are opting for more expensive, higher-SPF glass, not only to protect the car's occupants but also to cool down their cars."

In 2000-2001, the Centennial Year, the idea for an Athletic Hall of Fame arose to honor student athletes, individual teams, and outstanding coaches throughout the history of Holton-Arms School. Members of the Athletic Hall of Fame should serve as a standard of excellence and inspire current students and teams to achieve their own level of excellence. Claire Bordley Berg '04During her time at Holton, Claire Bordley Berg ’04 was a talented and passionate athlete who dominated at basketball, lacrosse, and soccer. A 12 season varsity athlete and a leader amongst her peers, Claire served as team captain for five different seasons, as well as President of HAA her senior year. She is one of the few student-athletes to be awarded the prestigious Suzanne Bailey Athletic Award twice - in 2003 and 2004. A recipient of several athletic honors, Claire was named MVP in lacrosse during both her junior and senior years at Holton; All-ISL in basketball, lacrosse, and soccer; All-Gazette in lacrosse from 2002, 2003, and 2004; Washington Post First Team All-Met in 2003; First Team US Lacrosse All-American in 2002, 2003, and 2004. To top off these incredible awards, she also won a world title as a member of the US Lacrosse Women's U19 team which won the IFWLA World Cup in 2003. Not surprisingly, Claire was recruited to play lacrosse at the Division I level at the University of Virginia. Claire’s lacrosse career at UVA was nothing short of stellar."

Regarding the efficacy of sertaline, Clary criticises Jureidini as follows-:\"\"Dr. Jureidini and his co-authors do not specifically summarize the efficacy results in the JAMA-sertraline article, except to note that they “doubt Wagner’s claim, and Varley’s editorial support for that claim, that their results are clinically, as well as statistically, significant. ”Clary claims that the Wagner study's results are statistically and clinically significant. In particular, Clary states that the Wagner study demonstrated that sertaline produced a 69% response rate (in the primary efficacy endpoint) and that it was significantly better than placebo, which had a 59% response rate. That absolute risk difference (ARR) is equal to an absolute benefit of 10%, which Clary initially acknowledges is modest. However, at a later stage in her rapid response letter, she argues that the efficacy result is clinically significant. This is Clary's argument-:\"\"Thus, a response rate of 69% on sertraline (despite only a 10% advantage over placebo) makes it understandable why physicians in the past decade might have made the clinical judgment that the benefit-risk ratio was tipped in favor of SSRI treatment, even though regulatory approval is lacking for most SSRIs (including sertraline) in childhood depression. When one puts the issue of childhood depression in context, then we feel less able than the authors are to dismiss a 69% response rate on sertraline, even if it is only 10% superior to placebo. Cumulative rates of major depression and suicide in childhood and adolescence are staggering. In Western Europe alone, an estimated 10.1 million children will develop major depression by age 18, and more than 50,000 will have committed suicide (Birmaher et al, 1996; Olfson et al, 2003; US Census Bureau)."

Born into a prominent abolitionist family, he accepted command of the first all- black regiment ( 54th Massachusetts) in the Northeast and encouraged the men to refuse their pay until it was equal to the white troops’ wage. At the Second Battle of Fort Wagner, a beachhead near Charleston, South Carolina, Shaw was killed while leading his men to the parapet of the Confederate held fort. Although they were overwhelmed and driven back, Shaw’s leadership passed into legend with a unit that inspired tens of thousands more African-Americans to enlist for the Union and contribute to its ultimate victory.

( Photo credit ROBYN BECK/Getty Images)According to internal sources, IMG College and Learfield ― college sports’ two largest multimedia rights and sponsorship holders ― are negotiating a 50-50 merger that would create one of the most powerful forces in the industry. IMG College, which became part of William Morris Endeavor ’s portfolio after its $2.4 billion acquisition of IMG Worldwide in 2013, represents nearly 90 universities and conferences while Learfield brings more than 130 collegiate partners to the table. IMG College, through its licensing affiliate, IMG College Licensing, also represents the trademark licensing and consumer product rights for some 200 schools, conferences and bowl games. Together, their combined portfolio would include more than 70% of Division I universities, including 85% of the Power 5 member schools. The two companies have already operated a joint venture ticketing solution, IMG Learfield Ticket Solutions, since 2012. Not only would an IMG College-Learfield marriage likely bring to an end any opportunity for a major competitor to enter the market, but it also would cap a decade of mergers and acquisitions within the collegiate sports rights space. IMG spent approximately $300 million to roll up the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) and Host Communications in 2007, as well as ISP Sports in 2010, before its eventual sale to Silver Lake Partners and WME three years later. Learfield was itself sold last October to private equity firm Atairos Group by then-owner Providence Equity Partners for a reported $1.3 billion."

"text": "\"Wagner History Early History The history of Wagner begins over one hundred years ago, in 1883, with the founding of the Lutheran Proseminary of Rochester, N. Y. With just six students, housed in the second story of a private home, the school began its mission of preparing future Lutheran ministers for admission to seminary. Wagner received the name it bears today shortly after its founding. When John G. Wagner gave $12,000 to the school so that it could purchase a new campus, the grateful board of trustees renamed the school in memory of their benefactor’s son, George Wagner, who had died before realizing his own ambition to become a minister. As the school grew in reputation and size, the New York Ministerium, a Lutheran church organization in control of Wagner since 1888, recognized the need to find a new home for the institution and placed the Reverend Frederic Sutter, one of Wagner’s first graduates, in charge of the relocation. Pastor Sutter, a lifelong supporter of Wagner College, had established his own ministry on Staten Island in 1907. Through Sutter’s efforts, Wagner College relocated to Grymes Hill on Staten Island in 1918. Pastor Sutter could not have chosen a more beautiful site for this new beginning. The new campus found a home on the 38-acre former country estate of 19th century shipping magnate Sir Edward Cunard. This breathtaking site overlooks the New York harbor, Manhattan and the Atlantic Ocean, an ideal location for the start of Wagner’s modern history. Archival Videos'Beautiful Upon a Hill' (Redigitized 2015)This early Wagner College promotional film, released in 1949, starred a young Wagner student, Robert Loggia, playing the character \"\"Bob.\"\""

[ 1] [2] Top FBS teams draw tens of thousands of fans to games, and the ten largest American stadiums by capacity all host FBS teams. College athletes are not paid, but colleges are allowed to provide players with non-monetary compensation such as athletic scholarships that provide for tuition, housing, and books. Unlike other NCAA divisions and subdivisions, the NCAA does not officially award an FBS football national championship, nor does it sanction a playoff tournament to determine such a champion on the field. Instead, organizations such as the Associated Press and AFCA have historically sought to rank the teams and crown a national champion, by taking a vote of sports writers and coaches, respectively. In place of such a playoff, various cities across the United States hold their own post-season contests, called bowl games, in which they traditionally invite teams to participate in them."

As of the 2018 season, all FBS schools except Six (Army, BYU, UMass, New Mexico State, Liberty & Notre Dame) are members of one of these conferences. As of 2017, following the retirement of Bob Stoops at Oklahoma (who had been in that position since December 1, 1999), the longest-tenured head coach in Division I FBS is Kirk Ferentz of Iowa. Ferentz began his current coaching tenure in 1999, and is also the only FBS head coach who began his current head coaching position before the 2000 season."

The Piedmont Triad features Winston-Salem and Greensboro, along with the furniture capital of High Point; just to east through Burlington, another trio of cities have become known as the “Research Triangle,” chock full of universities and companies that advance research and technology, as well as the State Capitol in Raleigh. From there, we head east to the beach, catching Rocky Mount, Tarboro, and more along the way to Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk, home to the Wright Brothers’ first airplane flight. Each city has a character all its own; let’s check out “NC-NC”…North Central North Carolina! Let’s start in Winston-Salem, which lies right along I-40 in the Piedmont region. The new Best Western PLUS Hanes Mall Hotel is an ideal spot for the pre-tour pit stop, just off I-40 on the southwest side of town. Winston-Salem has about 237,000 residents, making it one of the five largest cities in North Carolina. Winston-Salem has been a heavy-hitter in the tobacco industry for many years, being the headquarters for R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company – helping to give it the nickname “Camel City.” The city is part of the Winston-Salem-Greensboro-High Point triad, and we’ll check out all of these places and more. Winston-Salem is laid out with downtown being at the junction of “Business I-40” – what used to be the I-40 main route until a new alignment was built along the city’s south side – and U. S. 52, which is a north-south freeway through the city."

NCAA Division I ( D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition. This level was once called the University Division of the NCAA, in contrast to the lower level College Division; these terms were replaced with numeric divisions in 1973. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split in two; the College Division members that offered scholarships or wanted to compete against those who did became Division II, while those who did not want to offer scholarships became Division III. [ 1]For the 2014-15 school year, Division I contained 345 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 125 in FBS, 125 in FCS, and 95 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I. [2] [3] There was a moratorium on any additional movement up to D-I until 2012, after which any school that wants to move to D-I must be accepted for membership by a conference and show the NCAA it has the financial ability to support a D-I program.

[ 4] Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed.

However this nomenclature and these categories of divisional play have only existed since 2006 and 1978, respectively. Prior to the formation of the NCAA in 1906, there was no differentiation between the level of play from one college to another, and thus all intercollegiate teams can be thought of as having played in the same division. Likewise, even after the formation of the NCAA, there was no differentiation into divisions until 1956, when play was separated in the upper \"\"University\"\" division and lower \"\"Collegiate\"\" division. In 1973, a three division reorganization occurred placing teams into NCAA Division I (highest), Division II, or Division III (lowest). In 1978, Division I was further subdivided into Division I-A (highest) and Division I-AA. In 2006, these subdivisions were renamed Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), respectively.

Specifically, this is not a list of the programs that have had the most all-time success in each state, but rather a look at what teams we believe are playing the best right now. CBS Sports college football writers Jerry Hinnen and Robby Kalland worked together, evaluating Division I programs from the FBS and FCS divisions, to cover 48 of 50 states. Alaska and Vermont were the only two states without a college football program at either of those levels -- Alaska doesn't have one at any level -- but all others have at least one FBS or FCS football program. Some, of course, were more difficult than others to decide. With that said, let's take a look at the best team from each American state. The best college football team in each state. ( CBS Sports Graphic)Alabama: Alabama -- This one was the most difficult to decide, and it just so happens to be the first state alphabetically. Auburn is a popular pick to win in 2015, and they may very well beat Alabama -- the Iron Bowl has gone to the home team each of the last three years -- but the Tide still get the edge. Alabama has a serious question mark at quarterback, but they can lean on the run game with an excellent offensive line and a stable of backs led by Derrick Henry."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from History of National Football League Championship)navigation search Throughout its history, the National Football League (NFL) and other rival American football leagues have used several different formats to determine their league champions, including a period of inter-league matchups determining a true world champion. Following its founding in 1920, the NFL first determined champions through end-of-season standings, but switched to a playoff system in 1933. The rival All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and American Football League (AFL) have since merged with the NFL (the only two AAFC teams that currently exist joined the NFL in 1950 —the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers ), but AAFC championship games and records are not included in NFL record books. [ 1] [2] The AFL began play in 1960 and, like its rival league, used a playoff system to determine its champion. From 1966 – 1969 prior to the merger in 1970, the NFL and the AFL agreed to hold an ultimate championship game, first called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game and later renamed the Super Bowl after 1968. Following the merger in 1970, the Super Bowl name continued as the game to determine the NFL champion. The most important factor of the merger was that all ten AFL teams joined the NFL in 1970 and every AFL championship game and record is included in NFL record books. The old NFL Championship Game became the NFC Championship Game, while the old AFL Championship Game became the AFC Championship Game. The NFL lists the old AFL/NFL championship games with \"\"new\"\" AFC/NFC championship games in its record books. The Green Bay Packers have won the most championships with 13 total (9 NFL championships pre-merger, four (4) Super Bowl championships)."

Under Saban, Alabama plays as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and is a member of the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Crimson Tide plays its home games at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. During the eleven years Saban has served as head football coach, Alabama has compiled an overall official record of 127-20 [a] (.864) (132–20 on the field), 14 bowl game appearances with 10 victories, six SEC Western Division titles, five SEC championships, and five national championships. Since 2008, Saban's teams have spent all or part of each season ranked number 1 in national polls. On January 7, Nick Saban officially accepted the head coaching position with the Crimson Tide. In his first season at Alabama, the team experienced many highs-and-lows, but the team finished with a winning record after a victory in the Independence Bowl. In the 2008 season, Saban led the Crimson Tide to their first undefeated regular season since the 1994 season, but the Tide then proceeded to lose their final two games in the SEC Championship Game and Sugar Bowl. In 2009, Saban led Alabama to a perfect 14–0 record and to their first BCS National Championship, and their first overall national championship since the 1992 season. After a relatively disappointing 10–3 2010 season, Saban then led the Crimson Tide to back-to-back BCS National Championships in both the 2011 and 2012 seasons. ["

The feat is extremely rare at the professional level of any team sport, and has occurred more commonly at the collegiate and scholastic levels in the United States. A perfect regular season (known by other names outside the United States of America) is a season excluding any playoffs, where a team remains undefeated and untied; it is less rare than a complete perfect season but still exceptional. A perfect season may be part of a multi-season winning streak. Exhibition games are generally not counted toward standings, for or against.

The Dolphins briefly extended their winning streak before losing to the Oakland Raiders on September 23, 1973. It has often been reported that the surviving members of the 1972 Dolphins would, every season, either gather to drink champagne when the final undefeated team earned its first loss of the year, or send a case of champagne to the team who beat this final undefeated team. The head coach of the 1972 Dolphins, Don Shula, denied this in a 2007 interview with ESPN. ["

The Wolverines claim 11 national championships, most recently that of the 1997 squad voted atop the final AP Poll. From 1900 to 1989, Michigan was led by a series of nine head coaches, each of whom has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame either as a player or as a coach. Fielding H. Yost became Michigan's head coach in 1901 and guided his \"\"Point-a-Minute\"\" squads to a streak of 56 games without a defeat, spanning from his arrival until the season finale in 1905, including a victory in the 1902 Rose Bowl, the first college football bowl game ever played. Fritz Crisler brought his winged helmet from Princeton University in 1938 and led the 1947 Wolverines to a national title and Michigan's second Rose Bowl win."

The response occurs in 85 per cent of all patients whohave spinal cord injury above the level of the sixth thoracic vertebra. It is potentially dangerousbecause of attendant vasoconstriction and immediate elevation of blood pressure, which in turncan bring about hemorrhagic retinal damage or stroke syndrome. Less serious effects includesevere headache; changes in heart rate; sweating, flushing, and “goose bumps” or piloerectionabove the level of the spinal cord injury; and pallor below that level. Patient Care. Circumstances that can trigger autonomic dysreflexia are often related to stimulation of the bladder, bowel, and skin of the patient. Examples are a distended bowel or bladder, pressure on the skin, or any of a number of noxious stimuli. Once the symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia are manifest, emergency care is indicated. Efforts are made to lower the blood pressure by placing the patient in a sitting position or elevating the head and upper body to a 45-degree angle."

"text": "\"Basic Structure and Function of the Nervous System The picture you have in your mind of the nervous system probably includes the brain, the nervous tissue contained within the cranium, and the spinal cord, the extension of nervous tissue within the vertebral column. That suggests it is made of two organs—and you may not even think of the spinal cord as an organ—but the nervous system is a very complex structure. Within the brain, many different and separate regions are responsible for many different and separate functions. It is as if the nervous system is composed of many organs that all look similar and can only be differentiated using tools such as the microscope or electrophysiology. In comparison, it is easy to see that the stomach is different than the esophagus or the liver, so you can imagine the digestive system as a collection of specific organs. The Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else ( [link] ). The brain is contained within the cranial cavity of the skull, and the spinal cord is contained within the vertebral cavity of the vertebral column. It is a bit of an oversimplification to say that the CNS is what is inside these two cavities and the peripheral nervous system is outside of them, but that is one way to start to think about it. In actuality, there are some elements of the peripheral nervous system that are within the cranial or vertebral cavities."

What is the reason for this designation? Both nervous system and the endocrine system are considered integrative systems. This designation stems from the fact that both systems control and regulate biological functions and act at distance, receiving information from organs and tissues and sending effector commands (nervous impulses or hormones) to organs and tissues, thus integrating the body. Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems More Bite-Sized Q&As Below2. Which structures make up the nervous system? The structures that form the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The organs of the CNS are the brain (cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum) and spinal cord. The PNS is made of nerves and neural ganglia."

Biological psychology A branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior. Biological psychologists gain a better understanding of sleep and dreams, depression and schizophrenia, hunger and sex, stress and disease (Myers 58). Biological Psychologist attempt to understand the relations between nature and nurture. Biological Psychologist also call themselves behavioral neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, or biosychologists (Myers).

In this regulation , impulses are conducted from the CNS by an axon that synapses with a second autonomic neuron . It is the axon of this second neuron in the pathways that innervates the involuntary effectors . Autonomic motor nerves innervate organs whose functions are not usually under voluntary control . The effectors that respond to autonomic regulation include cardiac muscle ( the heart ) , smooth ( visceral ) muscles , and glands . These are part of the organs of the viscera ( organs within the body cavities ) and of blood vessels . The involuntary effects of autonomic innervation contrast with the voluntary control of skeletal muscles by way of somatic motor neurons . Autonomic Neurons Neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which conduct impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are known as motor , or efferent , neurons . There are two major categories of motor neurons: somatic and autonomic . Somatic motor neurons have their cell bodies within the CNS and send axons to skeletal muscles , which are usually under voluntary control ."

In shades as varied as a magnificent sunrise, to the lush and verdant greens of growth and renewal, it is a stone of prosperity and abundance; encouraging gratitude and service to others. Grossular Garnet is a calcium aluminum silicate, and ranges in color from light to dark yellow, gold, orange, scarlet and red, with the more popular shades being green. Its name is derived from the latin word for gooseberries, because of the light-green similarity of colors to the berries. [ Simmons, 166]As a potent prosperity stone, Grossular Garnet is healing of all limitations on the physical level, in health or wealth. Green Garnet carries an especially regenerative energy, and is excellent for those who’ve had money problems and wish to reform.

"text": "\"Yarn FAQs Yarn calculator Need to convert yarn amounts or number of skeins? Try our yarn calculator!Frequently asked questions about Yarn Q. What is yarn made from? A. Yarn is made from many different fibers -- animal, plant and vegetable. Animal fibers include wool, mohair, angora, silk, cashmere, llama, alpaca and qiviut (musk ox) and are made of mostly protein. Cotton, linen and ramie are vegetable fibers. Synthetic (man-made) fibers include acrylic, nylon, polyester, metallics and microfibers. Each fiber has its own qualities, and they are often blended to take advantage of the best properties of each. Q. What are plies? A. Years ago, yarn was referred to by the number of strands (plies) twisted together. This wasn't a problem at the time, because crocheters and knitters understood that a two-ply yarn would be much thinner than a four-ply yarn."

The rich vibrancy of its dark-blue energy resonates to the exact frequency of the Third-Eye Chakra, and has been guiding souls to enlightenment since the earliest civilizations began. [ Simmons, 63] [Hall, 77]To the inhabitants of Atlantis and the early Egyptians, Azurite was a most potent psychic stone and shrouded in mystery; its secrets known only to the highest priests and priestesses. It was called the Stone of Heaven by the ancient Chinese who believed it to open celestial gateways, and was revered by Greeks and Romans for its visionary insights and healing powers. For the Mayans, Azurite inspired the mystical self and facilitated the transfer of wisdom and knowledge via thought, while Native Americans used this sacred stone to contact their spiritual Indian guide, feel the presence and understand the message. [ www.luckygemstones.com] [Eason, 217] [Mella, 74] [Melody, 140]For modern practitioners, Azurite’s metaphysical properties still mirror its legacy powers, clearing away tension and confusion, and opening the mind to new perspectives. This crystal stimulates the intellect, awakening the development of psychic and intuitive abilities, and brings inner vision into alignment with spiritual guidance. It may be used for the enhancement of dreams, entering a meditative or channeling state, and enables out of body journeys to take place safely. Azurite is beneficial in exploring past or alternate lives, and its ability to clear the Throat Chakra allows for precise verbalization recalled from these experiences. [ Hall, 77] [Simmons, 63] [Ahsian, 64] [Melody, 139]Azurite is a soft stone, named for its deep “azure blue” color."

Its bold energy brings a rush of warmth and joy that lingers, stimulating and empowering. Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. A glassy, translucent stone, Carnelian is an orange-colored variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Its color varies from pale pinkish-orange to a deep rusty brown, though it is most known for its brilliant orange and red-orange crystals. Its name comes from a Latin word meaning \"\"flesh. \"\" In antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. [ Simmons, 92] Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies. In Egypt it was worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists of the Middle Ages used it as a boiling stone to activate the energy of other Chalcedonies. As the first stone in the breastplate of the High Priest, it signified the blood of the martyrs [Kunz, 303, 305], and was once believed to prevent illness and the Plague. ["

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Related To: Tools The most basic of fasteners, nails are essential for construction jobs where the extra strength and expense of a screw is unnecessary. Common nails are for general use and are available in many sizes — if thickness of material allows it, choose one that is at least three times longer than the depth of the thinner material being nailed. Specialty nails, traditional nails, and brads are designed for specific tasks or finishes and are made in sizes suitable for their purpose. Most nails are simply hammered in, although where wood is likely to split, or very close to an edge, you may sometimes need to drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail.2007 Dorling Kindersley Limited Nails have a head to receive a hammer blow, and a longer shank to provide the attachment. Most nails are made of steel or iron, although masonry nails are made of hardened zinc for strength. Many nails are galvanized (have an outer layer mixed with zinc to protect them from rust), which gives them a pale gray, mottled effect. Nails are normally sold by weight rather than quantity, so a rough calculation is sufficient for purchasing. Overbuy, since nails are always useful. Nail weights vary between manufacturers, and according to design and composition."

They were known as the “rain bringers” and nurturers, healers of the spirit and stones of courage and wisdom. The name can be traced back in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Assyrian, Greek and Latin, and the virtues of Jaspers have been extolled throughout the ages by the most noted physicians, magicians, poets, scientists, lapidaries and scholars. [ Mella, 77-78] [en.wikipedia.org]Picture Jasper, a remarkable form of Brown Jasper, is characterized by masterful “scenes” and landscape patterns formed by Nature, and is believed to contain hidden messages from the past. It was revered in many cultures of the world for its deep connection to the Earth, its protection during shamanic journeying, and its ability to divine the land and the future. It is perhaps more closely connected to the planet than any other Jasper and is known today as the Stone of Global Awareness. Highly attuned to the Earth’s electromagnetic fields and energy systems, Picture Jasper provides a remarkable ability during meditation to merge with the consciousness of Earth. It allows access to the vast records stored within the planet’s mineral data base, and may be used to view the world’s history and connect with the energy of sacred sites and ancient civilizations. It encourages ecological responsibility, and acts as a reminder that one is not here on the physical plane simply for oneself, but to bring joy and substance to others.

The series is known for its elaborate and richly detailed open worlds and its focus on free-form gameplay. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim all won Game of the Year awards from multiple outlets. The series has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. [ 1]Within the fictional Elder Scrolls universe, each game takes place on the continent of Tamriel. The setting is a mix of early or pre-medieval real-world elements, often revolving around a powerful Roman -like Empire in a world with very limited technological capabilities, and high fantasy elements, such as widespread magic use, travel between parallel worlds and the existence of many mythological creatures such as dragons. The continent is split into a number of provinces of which the inhabitants include humans as well as popular humanoid fantasy races such as elves, orcs and anthropomorphic animals. A common theme in the lore is that a chosen hero rises to defeat an incoming threat, usually a malevolent being or an antagonistic army. Since debuting with Arena in 1994, the series has produced a total of five main games (of which the last three have each featured two or three expansions) as well as numerous spin-offs. [ 2] In 2014, an MMORPG installment called The Elder Scrolls Online was released by Bethesda's affiliated Zeni Max subsidiary Zeni Max Online Studios."

Now, finally tired of waiting on Bethesda to re-align their fecal matter, I've bought the game and all DLC on the Xbox 360. While I did enjoy the story and everything about the game the first time around, my new playthrough on the 360 is going to be primarily targeting DLC. I'll probably be putting off a lot of the main quest line in favor of prioritizing the DLC. To that end, I'd like to know when an appropriate time would be to start pursuing the missions associated with each DLC. Do they each have a minimum level, or a particular place in the larger story? Or are they fairly well separated from the main story, and level down or up to match the player? Could I dive straight into things, right out of Helgen - or do I need to buff up a bit and slay a few dragons, giants, mammoths, etc. first?"

There's loads of stuff to do in Skyrim, so I'll go ahead and... How many missions are there, in total - including the Main Quests, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, Companions, DLCs, Civil War etc. etc. We could go into the \"\"unlimited number of missions\"\" thing, but I'm talking about scripted missions. How long would it take to 100% complete Skyrim? That includes completing every single quest, discovering every single location, unlocking every single item etc. etc."

A big thank you to them for making the images on this site even prettier!This Guide to Skyrim was developed over the course of a year by myself with help from a friend, Leto Kersten. We have guides to all eighteen of Skyrim's skills, which feature lists of spells, perks, master/expert trainer locations, crafting recipes, alchemy ingredients and all sorts of helpful information for a player adventuring in Skyrim. While the guide was originally intended to cover Skyrim's skills alone, it has since grown to include a number of other gameplay articles that may be helpful to new players. Skyrim is a vast game, and with skills covered I'm glad to say that I finished what I set out to do. Now the guide's production is open-ended. While I will never cover everything, I hope to provide more guides on miscellaneous topics as time goes on. Throughout the guide, I link to The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, a long-standing Skyrim Wiki with deep, encyclopedic info on the game. I am grateful for their existence, as there are many little details about the game, lists and npc pages, that I'd never want to cover. A wiki is a different format than one of my strategy guides, and some prefer to figure out the details for themselves."

"text": "\"Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a powerful psychedelic drug, and a type of tryptamine alkaloid. It is a naturally occurring substance, found in various plants and animals, and in small quantities in the human brain, where its function is unknown. DMT is famous for its power. Though the psychedelic trip it creates only lasts 5 to 30 minutes when smoked, the effect is profound and remarkable, with the feeling that the user is transported to a completely different place, immersed in kaleidoscopic sounds and images. In its pure form, the drug is a white to yellow crystalline solid. DMT has been consumed throughout history and into prehistory by indigenous peoples, especially in South America, where it is consumed during shamanic rituals and called ayhuasca. This is done by combining plant material that contains it with a monoamine oxide inhibitor, a special chemical that allows the drug to avoid digestion by the stomach and reach the bloodstream. Evidence of DMT consumption by indigenous peoples in South America stretches back to at least 2130 BC. A pipe made from puma bone of that age was tested positive for the substance. Smoking it would give the users visions and feelings that they associated with magical sources, putting them into contact with \"\"spirits\"\" they could consult on matters of plants, disease, etc."

It produces an ayahuasca trip by smoking it instead of taking it orally. It bypasses a lot of the side effects this way. If ayahuasca is illegal where you are then changa would be illegal too, since its just ayahuasca in smokeable form.

The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies–all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes. Most island universes are sufficiently like one another to Permit of inferential understanding or even of mutual empathy or “feeling into.” Thus, remembering our own bereavements and humiliations, we can condole with others in analogous circumstances, can put ourselves (always, of course, in a slightly Pickwickian sense) in their places."

The information I read said that it is impossible to understand the mental plane and you get mad if you try. The mental plane is said to be the plane above the astral plane.

"text": "Drug researchers have found evidence that a hallucinogenic compound used in shamanic rituals in the Amazon is growing in popularity. Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the active ingredient in ayahuasca, a plant-based mixture, can also be used by itself, often by smoking it. Working off of answers provided in the ongoing Global Drug Survey, researcher Adam Winstock and his co-authors found in a November article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology that DMT “had a larger proportion of new users” compared to other powerful drugs like magic mushrooms, LSD and ketamine — “suggesting its popularity may increase. ”Take this year’s Global Drug Survey here. The global survey’s findings are supported by numbers from another survey administered by the U. S. government, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. That sampling found that the number of people in the U. S. who have used DMT in some form has been up almost every year since 2006 — from an estimated 688,000 in 2006 to 1,475,000 in 2012. The newest users, the global survey found, were more likely to be young, male, and in school. “Mainstream interest since the release of the cult film “Enter the Void” in 2009 and the 2010 documentary “DMT: The Spirit Molecule”, followed by a recent article in the influential youth magazine Vice featuring young people who had just smoked DMT will have raised awareness,” Winstock’s study said, suggesting why use might be on the rise. The anonymized annual Global Drug Survey provides a rare look into how illegal drugs are actually consumed by users. Twenty-five news organizations around the world are partnering with the survey this year to provide greater insights into how and why people use drugs."

Hallucinogens include such drugs as LSD, mescaline, psilocybin mushrooms, and DMT. Some hallucinogens come from natural sources, such as mescaline from the peyote cactus. Others, such as LSD, are synthetic or manufactured. PCP (phencyclidine) is sometimes considered a hallucinogen because it has some of the same effects. However, it does not fit easily into any one-drug category because it also can relieve pain or act as a stimulant. What exactly is LSD? LSD is manufactured from lysergic acid diethylamide, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains or lysergic acid amide, which is a chemical, found in morning glory seeds. LSD was discovered in 1938 and is one of the most potent mind-altering chemicals. It is odorless, colorless, and tasteless."

"text": "How Do Hallucinogens (LSD, Psilocybin, Peyote, DMT, and Ayahuasca) Affect the Brain and Body? How Do Hallucinogens Work? Classic hallucinogens are thought to produce their perception-altering effects by acting on neural circuits in the brain that use the neurotransmitter serotonin (Passie, 2008; Nichols, 2004; Schindler, 2012; Lee, 2012). Specifically, some of their most prominent effects occur in the prefrontal cortex—an area involved in mood, cognition, and perception—as well as other regions important in regulating arousal and physiological responses to stress and panic. What Are the Short-Term Effects of Hallucinogens? Ingesting hallucinogenic drugs can cause users to see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist. Their effects typically begin within 20 to 90 minutes of ingestion and can last as long as 12 hours. Experiences are often unpredictable and may vary with the amount ingested and the user’s personality, mood, expectations, and surroundings. The effects of hallucinogens like LSD can be described as drug-induced psychosis—distortion or disorganization of a person’s capacity to recognize reality, think rationally, or communicate with others. Users refer to LSD and other hallucinogenic experiences as “trips” and to acute adverse or unpleasant experiences as “bad trips.”"

There are numerous plants that contain psychoactive tryptamines, and so far as I am aware, none of these plants are themselves specifically scheduled. Below I make mention of a few of the plants that contain higher amounts of DMT and 5-Me O-DMT, and I note the range of their content based on analyses reported in the literature. This information is taken from the 2007 compendium Some Simple Tryptamines, second edition, by Keeper of the Trout & Friends; citations for the primary sources reporting on tryptamine content are all provided in that book. Unless otherwise noted, all weight ranges listed refer to analysis of dried plant material. It is important to realize that natural products can vary dramatically with regard to potency, and in most cases there are not very many distinct analytical data points (from multiple researchers, reporting on multiple plant samples) to go on. If a single figure is given rather than a range, it is because no further quantitative analysis data was available. A plant’s genetics, environment, the time of year, and even the time of day, can all play a part in the concentration of its alkaloids. Hence, the range of figures provided below for each plant should only be seen as a “rough guide” related to chemical content. Also, some of these plants may contain other chemicals (psychoactive, non-active, or toxic) in them along with the targeted tryptamines reported on here."

Never heard of it? This pineal gland has influences on both melatonin and pinoline, but our interest is in the gland’s role in the creation of dimethyltriptamine, or DMT. This chemical, DMT, may well be the reason we, as a species, are capable of sentience itself. I’m not a chemist; break it down. First, DMT is a narcotic, schedule 1.

Answered Aug 26, 2016 · Author has 480 answers and 1m answer views It’s hard to determine what a “lot” of LSD actually is. Most doses usually fall in the 100 mcg to 450 mcg range, though many of us have taken high multiples of those dosages. It appears there is a ceiling beyond which more acid will not cause any further tripping. Have you ever used caffeine to the point where it actually made you tired, rather than waking you up? This is due to a phenomenon called “adrenal exhaustion.” Your adrenal gland produces adrenaline, which is your body’s own natural “speed.” When you take a stimulant such as caffeine, amphetamines (meth) or ritalin, it causes your adrenal gland to produce a large amount of adrenaline at once. Normally, your adrenal gland trickles a small amount of adrenaline into your system throughout your day, keeping you feeling reasonably energized and motivated, and only producing a sudden “rush” when you feel threatened. This is also called the “fight or flight” response. Whether you get a big rush through being scared, or through using a chemical stimulant, it will temporarily drain the stored up adrenaline in the gland."

Dimethyltryptamine or N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally-occurring tryptamine and psychedelic drug, found not only in many plants, but also in trace amounts in the human body where its natural function is undetermined. Structurally, it is analogous to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) and other psychedelic tryptamines such as 5-Me O-DMT, bufotenin (5-OH-DMT), and psilocin (4-OH-DMT). DMT is created in small amounts by the human body during normal metabolism by the enzyme tryptamine-N-methyltransferase. Many cultures, indigenous and modern, ingest DMT as a psychedelic in extracted or synthesized forms. Pure DMT at room temperature is a clear or white to yellowish-red crystalline solid. A laboratory synthesis of DMT was first reported in 1931, and it was later found in many plants. Several speculative and yet untested hypotheses suggest that endogenous DMT, produced in the human brain, is involved in certain psychological and neurological states. DMT is naturally produced in small amounts in the brain and other tissues of humans and other mammals. Some believe it plays a role in mediating the visual effects of natural dreaming, and also near-death experiences, religious visions and other mystical states."

"text": "Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)DESCRIPTIONDimethyltryptamine (DMT), also known as N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a naturally-occurring tryptamine found in various animals, fungi, and plants. These tryptamines are often used by humans for their psychoactive properties, although not all tryptamines are psychoactive. DMT can be found in many species of plants. Genera such as acacia, anadenanthera, mimosa, piptadenia, and virola are some examples. DMT is also produced in the human pineal gland, a small reddish-gray gland (about the size of a pea) near the center of the brain. One of the functions of the pineal gland is the production of melatonin. The pineal gland and melatonin help regulate sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythms). The production of melatonin by the pineal gland is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. DMT exists in our brains in order to provide consciousness, a necessary mechanism: as a spirit molecule allowing us to gain access to non-material realms. According to researcher and psychiatrist, Rick Strassman MD, “A fundamental role of DMT in our consciousness is suggested by the brain's actively transporting DMT into its confines, using precious energy."

It’s a smoking mixture that may contain a wide variety of herbs. Every individual creates their own unique blend. The basis is always a DMT-extract from a natural source (for example Chacruna) and at least one herb that functions as a MAO inhibitor (often Banisteropsis Caapi ).

Keep these tips in mind if you need to retake the motorcycle written exam or riding test. You Can Retake the Motorcycle License Test States differ on the amount of time that must elapse after taking the original motorcycle driving test. In most jurisdictions, you must wait a period of one or two weeks to retake the skills test, while you can retake the written exam the next day. The criteria for passing the retake are the same as passing the original motorcycle license test. Most states require an applicant to pass a multiple-choice test based on material from the state's motorcycle handbook. If applicants miss a percentage of the written questions, they will be required to come back at a later date to retake the test again. You and Your Motorcycle Must Be Roadworthy Just as before, you will be required to complete a skills test once you have passed the written test. You pay the same fees as before, and you must furnish a motorcycle for the test that is already equipped, registered, inspected, insured, and in good working order."

"text": "\"The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology Almost immediately after the structure of DNA was elucidated by Watson and Crick, the mechanism by which genetic information was maintained within a cell and used to create proteins became apparent. This mechanism has become known as the \"\"Central Dogma of Molecular Biology\"\". The Central Dogma has three main parts:1. Genetic information is preserved and transmitted to new cells and offspring by a duplication process called replication . Replication occurs as a part of mitosis, normal cell division reviewed above.2. Genetic information stored in the nucleus is made available to the rest of the cell by the creation of numerous temporary copies known as messenger RNA (m RNA) through a process known as transcription . m RNA is similar to DNA in that it consists of a long, specific sequence of nucleotides. It differs in that it is single-stranded, contains the sugar ribose rather than deoxyribose in its backbone, and utilizes the base uracil in place of thymine. Transcription is a major part of one of the most important aspects of gene expression, the \"\"turning on\"\" of genes in appropriate cells at appropriate times.3. In the cytoplasm, ribosomes construct specific proteins by interpreting the sequence of bases in m RNA."

"text": "\"< An Introduction to Molecular Biologynavigation search Like other biological macromolecules such as polysaccharides and nucleic acids, proteins are essential parts of living organisms and participate in virtually every process within cells. Many proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions and are vital to metabolism. Proteins also have structural or mechanical functions, such as actin and myosin in muscle and the proteins in the cytoskeleton, which form a system of scaffolding that maintains cell shape. Other proteins are important in cell signaling, immune responses, cell adhesion, and the cell cycle. Proteins are also necessary in animals' diets, since animals cannot synthesize all the amino acids they need and must obtain essential amino acids from food. Through the process of digestion, animals break down ingested protein into free amino acids that are then used in metabolism. Proteins were first described by the Dutch chemist Gerhardus Johannes Mulder and named by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1838. [ 1]Each protein has its own unique amino acid sequence that is specified by the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding this protein. The genetic code is a set of three-nucleotide sets called codons and each three-nucleotide combination designates an amino acid, for example AUG (Adenine-Uracil-Guanine) is the code for methionine. Because DNA contains four nucleotides, the total number of possible codons is 64; hence, there is some redundancy in the genetic code, with some amino acids specified by more than one codon."

It will all make more sense if you start from the beginning of the sequence with thestructure of DNA. From messenger RNA to a protein chain A quick overview of the process You will remember that messenger RNA contains a sequence of bases which, read three at a time, code for the amino acids used to make protein chains. Each of the sets of three bases is known as a codon. The table below repeats one from the previous page: You may also remember that three codons serve as stop codons, and one (AUG) codes for methionine, but also serves as a start codon. We'll look in some detail at how this works further down the page. Translating the code into an actual protein chain is complicated by the fact that individual amino acids won't interact with the messenger RNA chain."

"text": "\"< An Introduction to Molecular Biologynavigation search After the structure of DNA was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, who used the experimental evidence of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin (among others), serious efforts to understand the nature of the encoding of proteins began. George Gamow, in 1954, [1] postulated that a three-letter code must be employed to encode the 20 standard amino acids used by living cells to encode protein. Three is the smallest integer n such that 4 n is at least 20. The fact that codons consist of three DNA bases was first demonstrated in the Crick, Brenner et al. experiment. [ 2]The first elucidation of a codon was done by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich J. Matthaei in 1961 at the National Institutes of Health. [ 3] They used a cell-free system to translate a poly-uracil RNA sequence (i.e., UUUUU...) and discovered that the polypeptide that they had synthesized consisted of only the amino acid phenylalanine. They thereby deduced that the codon UUU specified the amino acid phenylalanine. This was followed by experiments in the laboratory of Severo Ochoa demonstrating that the poly-adenine RNA sequence (AAAAA...) coded for the polypeptide, poly-lysine. and the poly-cytosine RNA sequence (CCCCC...) coded for the polypeptide, poly-proline."

"text": "Protein Synthesis Now that we’ve described DNA and RNA, it’s time to take a look at the process of protein synthesis. The synthesis of proteins takes two steps: transcription and translation. Transcription takes the information encoded in DNA and encodes it into m RNA, which heads out of the cell’s nucleus and into the cytoplasm. During translation, the m RNA works with a ribosome and t RNA to synthesize proteins. Transcription The first step in transcription is the partial unwinding of the DNA molecule so that the portion of DNA that codes for the needed protein can be transcribed. Once the DNA molecule is unwound at the correct location, an enzyme called RNA polymerase helps line up nucleotides to create a complementary strand of m RNA. Since m RNA is a single-stranded molecule, only one of the two strands of DNA is used as a template for the new RNA strand. The new strand of RNA is made according to the rules of base pairing: DNA cytosine pairs with RNA guanine DNA guanine pairs with RNA cytosine DNA thymine pairs with RNA adenine DNA adenine pairs with RNA uracil For example, the m RNA complement to the DNA sequence TTGCAC is AACGUG. The SAT II Biology frequently asks about the sequence of m RNA that will be produced from a given sequence of DNA. For these questions, don’t forget that RNA uses uracil in place of thymine."

"text": "Tweet Pin Itm RNA Translation Is The Second Step Of Protein Synthesis The second step of protein synthesis is m RNA Translation (or just Translation). The m RNA Translation step follows right after the first step of protein synthesis called DNA Transcription (or just Transcription). During the transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is copied to a messenger RNA sequence (m RNA), which then can move through the nucleus membrane and can reach the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The production of proteins happens during the second step of protein synthesis process – the Translation. Sometimes protein synthesis process is referred only to Translation step, because no actual protein synthesis happens during the Transcription. However transcription is responsible for moving the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where the DNA/RNA code is translated by the ribosomes to a polypeptide sequence, which will later be folded into a protein. The Genetic Code The genetic code is a set of instructions, which defines how the information encoded within DNA/RNA is translated into proteins. The genetic code is identical (with small exceptions!) among all living organisms. The genetic code determines how codons (sequences of nucleotide triplets) can define which particular amino acid must be added on a specific position within the polypeptide chain."

"text": "Instructor: Nicholas Gauthier Mutations are errors in the replication of DNA. Sometimes a piece of DNA can be deleted from the copy, creating a devastating effect on the organism's ability to manufacture an important protein. This can lead to disease. Deletion Mutation and DNAA deletion mutation occurs when part of a DNA molecule is not copied during DNA replication. This uncopied part can be as small as a single nucleotide or as much as an entire chromosome. The loss of this DNA during replication can lead to a genetic disease. Nucleotides are subunits of DNA, and each nucleotide is made of a sugar molecule called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. There are four different nitrogenous bases in DNA, and they are represented by the letters A, C, G, and T. The complete nucleotides (deoxyribose, phosphate, and nitrogenous base) are named adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. Every DNA sequence is a long chain of these four nucleotides. Each DNA molecule has two strands, a master strand and a complementary strand."

"text": "Cells defend themselves from viruses, bacteria with armor of protein errors November 25, 2009When cells are confronted with an invading virus or bacteria or exposed to an irritating chemical, they protect themselves by going off their DNA recipe and inserting the wrong amino acid into new proteins to defend them against damage, scientists have discovered. These “regulated errors” comprise a novel non-genetic mechanism by which cells can rapidly make important proteins more resistant to attack when stressed, said Tao Pan, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. A team of 18 scientists from the University of Chicago and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease led by Pan and Jonathan Yewdell published the findings today in the journal Nature. “This mechanism allows every protein to get some protection,” Pan said. “ The genetic code is considered untouchable, but this is a non-genetic strategy used in cells to create a bodyguard for proteins. ”Proteins are constructed through a process called translation where cellular elements use the genetic code to guide the assembly of building blocks called amino acids into the correct sequence. First, a copy of the DNA, called messenger RNA, is made and transferred to a cellular structure called a ribosome. Transfer RNAs (t RNA), one for each of the 20 amino acids used in building proteins, read the messenger RNA code and bring the proper amino acids to the ribosome, where they are bonded together to form a complete protein. Each t RNA can be attached to only one of 20 amino acids, a specificity that prevents errors during the construction of proteins. In artificial laboratory preparations, scientists have observed that only one out of every 10,000 amino acids is placed into a protein incorrectly, and thus protein errors were thought to be exceptionally rare."

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins in our body. The sequencing is of utmost importance because it determines whether the protein functions properly or not. How to determine amino acid sequence from DNA ? STEP 1 - Observe carefully which DNA strand is given to you. Specify the coding or non-coding strand. One can either read the coding strand from 3’ to 5’ or read the template strand from 5’ to 3’ when making the corresponding m-RNA strand. Step 2 - Write the m-RNA in a complementary way to the transcribed DNA strand. ( A of the m-RNA binding with T of the DNA ; U of m-RNA binding with A of DNA)."

Its complementary strand is called antisense (or negative (-) sense). Sometimes the phrases coding strand (for sense) and template strand (for antisense) are encountered; however, protein coding and non-coding RNAs can be transcribed from the sense strand. Additionally, the terms \"\"sense\"\" and \"\"antisense\"\" are relative to the RNA transcript in question and not to the DNA strand as a whole. In other words, either DNA strand can serve as the sense or antisense strand for a particular RNA transcript. In some cases, RNA transcripts can be transcribed in both directions (i.e. on either strand) from a common promoter region, or be transcribed from within introns on either strand (see \"\"ambisense\"\" below). [ 1] [2] [3]Antisense DNA [ edit]The two complementary strands of double-stranded DNA (ds DNA) are usually differentiated as the \"\"sense\"\" strand and the \"\"antisense\"\" strand. The DNA sense strand looks like the messenger RNA (m RNA) and can be used to read the expected protein code; for example, ATG in the sense DNA may correspond to an AUG codon in the m RNA, encoding the amino acid methionine."

How can a mutation in DNA affect the protein that is built from a specific gene sequence? Describe a specific example to illustrate. Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: DNA codes for proteins. So, if the DNA is mutated, it directly affects the protein. Two examples of mutations are: A point mutation. In this situation, one base pair (A, T, C, or G) is replaced with a different, incorrect one. When this happens and the DNA is read in order to synthesize a protein, this incorrect base pair can lead to the DNA codon (set of 3 base pairs) that codes for a different base pair than it should have. This causes the protein to have one incorrect amino acid in it. Also, this mutation does not always mutate the protein because some codons code for the same amino acid."

"text": "Protein Synthesis During the 1950s and 1960s, it became apparent that DNA is essential in the synthesis of proteins. Among many functions, proteins can serve as enzymes and as structural materials in cells. Many specialized proteins function in cellular activities. For example, in humans, the hormone insulin and the muscle cell filaments are composed of protein. The hair, skin, and nails of humans are composed of proteins, as are all the hundreds of thousands of enzymes in the body. The key to a protein molecule is how the amino acids are linked. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is a type of code that specifies the protein and distinguishes one protein from another. A genetic code in the DNA determines this amino acid code. The genetic code consists of the sequence of nitrogenous bases in the DNA. How the nitrogenous base code is translated to an amino acid sequence in a protein is the basis for protein synthesis."

Since there are only four nucleotide \"\"letters\"\" in the DNA alphabet (A, C, G, T, which stand for adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine), but there are 20 different amino acids in the protein alphabet, it is clear that more than one nucleotide must be used to specify an amino acid. Even two nucleotides read at a time would not give sufficient combinations (4 × 4 = 16) to encode all 20 amino acids plus start and stop signals. Therefore it would require a minimum of three DNA nucleotides to \"\"spell out\"\" one amino acid, and indeed this is the number that is actually used. RNA also uses a four letter alphabet when it reads and transcribes DNA instructions during protein synthesis, but its set of nucleotides is somewhat different, substituting U (uracil) for T (thymine). Any single set of three nucleotides is called a codon , and the set of all possible three-nucleotide combinations is called \"\"the genetic code\"\" or \"\"triplet code.\"\" There are sixty-four different combinations or codons (4 × 4 × 4 = 64). We now know that three codons (UAA, UAG, and UGA) specify a \"\"stop\"\" signal, indicating the termination of the polypeptide chain being synthesized on the ribosome. Each of the remaining sixty-one codons encodes an amino acid. The \"\"start\"\" signal is the codon AUG, which also encodes the amino acid methionine."

"text": "Colon cancer screening: Weighing the options Colon cancer screening can be an important part of routine health care. If you're not sure which colon cancer screening test is best for you, ask yourself these questions. By Mayo Clinic Staff If your doctor has recommended colon cancer screening, you might be able to choose from various colon cancer screening tests. If you're reluctant to make a decision, remember that any discomfort or embarrassment from colon cancer screening is temporary — and detecting problems early could save your life. Screening tests are used only if you don't have bowel symptoms. If you have signs and symptoms — such as abdominal pain, a change in bowel habits, bleeding, constipation or diarrhea — then you'll need other tests to address these problems. If you don't have bowel symptoms, consider the following questions to help choose the colon cancer screening test that's best for you. What preparation is involved? Preparing for colon cancer screening can be uncomfortable or inconvenient, but it's necessary for the test to be effective. As part of your decision, consider your willingness or ability to follow the preparation instructions for specific colon cancer screening tests."

It is usually a single base pair substitution of valine for glutamic acid at the sixth position of the dystrophin gene. DMD can be caused by mutations in any number of scarolemma scaffolding proteins. DMD is usually caused by a large, out-of-frame deletion on the dystrophin gene. In order for DMD to manifest in disease, both copies of the dystrophin gene on chromosome 6 must have a mutation.2. Choose the correct statement Young males with DMD frequently walk well into their late teens. Early diagnosis of DMD is crucial because there is a strict standard of care for patients with DMD that must begin as early as possible for best results.

"text": "How to Ask a Partner for a Paternity Testby IDENTIGENE on 07/20/2015Asking for a paternity test can be uncomfortable, especially if you and your partner are in a committed relationship. Even when the conversation is handled delicately, there are bound to be hurt feelings and additional conversations that follow. While it may seem like a lose/lose situation, it is far less painful to determine the father of a child sooner rather than later. To help prepare for this difficult discussion, consider the following. If you are the potential father asking the mother for a paternity test While it is possible to get a paternity test without the mother’s knowledge, it is highly recommended to include her in the process so as to get the most accurate results possible. Because you already know she is the mother, submitting her DNA with both the child’s and your samples provides genetic scientists two sets of DNA against which to compare, resulting in a more conclusive analysis. If you wish to include her DNA in paternity testing for stronger results, it’s important to include a couple of things for clarification:1. Explain your reasons for wanting to verify the child’s paternity First, you should explain why you would like a paternity test, whether it is to ease your mind or eliminate even the smallest suspicions. However, remember that to avoid coming off as insulting or offensive, you shouldn’t be accusatory. Your respect for her will make the mother more likely to participate in the paternity testing process.2."

Exact Sciences When DNA colon cancer screening tests find abnormalities, are patients discouraged about getting more diagnostic testing because of costs they will incur? And why do hospitals sometimes send a second bill for treatments given in a doctor's office? Here are the answers. A stool-based DNA test to screen for colon cancer is available that is readily paid for by health plans, including Medicare. But if I have a positive Cologuard test result, I'd have to pay several hundred dollars for a regular diagnostic colonoscopy. Doesn't this discourage people from getting screened for colon cancer, which is the goal, after all? Patient advocates point to several reasons people may be discouraged from getting tested for colorectal cancer, including the \"\"ick\"\" factor and the time it takes to prepare for and get a colonoscopy, the most common screening test. \"\" But the No. 1 factor is always cost,\"\" said Caroline Powers, director of federal relations at the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network."

On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one block at a time. If the computer is connected to a number of machines it can distribute programs to different machines as required. Usually, the manufacturer of the control provides suitable DNC software. However, if this provision is not possible, some software companies provide DNC applications that fulfill the purpose. DNC networking or DNC communication is always required when CAM programs are to run on some CNC machine control. Wireless DNC is also used in place of hard-wired versions."

Your News Companion Aug. 9 2016 6:35 PMWiki Leaks Is Fanning a Conspiracy Theory That Hillary Murdered a DNC Staffer By Jeremy Stahl They look like they're plotting something. Patrick T. Fallon/AFP/Getty Images Julian Assange and his Wiki Leaks organization appear to be actively encouraging a conspiracy theory that a Democratic National Committee staffer was murdered for nefarious political purposes, perhaps by Hillary Clinton. Seth Rich was killed last month in Washington, D. C., in an early morning shooting that police have speculated was a failed robbery. Because Rich did voter outreach for the DNC and because we live in a ridiculous world, conspiracy theorists have glommed on to a fantastical story that Rich was an FBI informant meeting with purported agents who were actually a hit team sent by Hillary Clinton. There is of course absolutely zero evidence for this and Snopes has issued a comprehensive debunking of the premise itself (Rich is only 27 and has only worked at the DNC since 2014 so is unlikely to be in possession of information that might take down Clinton, he was on the phone with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting and she hasn’t reported any FBI meeting, there have been a string of robberies in the area, an FBI rendezvous at 4 a.m. only happens in movies, the whole thing is batshit crazy, etc.). Advertisement The fact that the idea is so absurd, though, has not stopped Assange from suggesting that Rich was murdered for nefarious political purposes either because he was an informant for the FBI or because he may have been a source in last month’s Wiki Leaks release of thousands of DNC emails. In an interview on Tuesday that was picked up by Buzz Feed ’s Andrew Kaczynski, Assange seemed to lend credence to the idea that Rich had been retaliated against. “Wiki Leaks never sits on material."

Federal investigators are examining some of these relationships and whether any of them were part of an effort to coordinate with Russia's election-meddling efforts. On Monday, it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. exchanged some private messages on Twitter with Wiki Leaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. The news was first reported by The Atlantic and later confirmed by Trump Jr., who posted screenshots of the messages. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that Congress has known about these messages for a while and they came up during Trump Jr.'s closed-door testimony in September. Donald Trump Jr. releases exchanges with Wiki Leaks The messages show that Wiki Leaks reached out fairly often to Trump Jr., who is only known to have replied on two occasions. Trump Jr.'s final response to Wiki Leaks was in October 2016, though the Wiki Leaks account continued its outreach until July 2017, according to the messages he released. That being said, nothing happens in a vacuum, and while these messages were exchanged, Wiki Leaks was busy releasing hacked materials. And all the while, Russian President Vladimir Putin was directing an operation to interfere in the US election, according to the US intelligence community.

"text": "Facebook Twitter Google +Email Comment One Page Print The party has lost confidence in her as a unifying leader and a party spokesperson. Dems turn on Wasserman Schultz By EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE09/17/2014 05:46 PM EDTUpdated 09/21/2014 11:26 PM EDTShare on Facebook Share on Twitter Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in a behind-the-scenes struggle with the White House, congressional Democrats and Washington insiders who have lost confidence in her as both a unifying leader and reliable party spokesperson at a time when they need her most. Long-simmering doubts about her have reached a peak after two recent public flubs: criticizing the White House’s handling of the border crisis and comparing the tea party to wife beaters. The perception of critics is that Wasserman Schultz spends more energy tending to her own political ambitions than helping Democrats win. This includes using meetings with DNC donors to solicit contributions for her own PAC and campaign committee, traveling to uncompetitive districts to court House colleagues for her potential leadership bid and having DNC-paid staff focus on her personal political agenda. She’s become a liability to the DNC, and even to her own prospects, critics say. ( WATCH: Debbie Wasserman Schultz's greatest hits)“I guess the best way to describe it is, it’s not that she’s losing a duel anywhere, it’s that she seems to keep shooting herself in the foot before she even gets the gun out of the holster,” said John Morgan, a major donor in Wasserman Schultz’s home state of Florida. The stakes are high. Wasserman Schultz is a high-profile national figure who helped raise millions of dollars and served as a Democratic messenger to female voters during a presidential election in which Obama needed to exploit the gender gap to win, but November’s already difficult midterms are looming. One example that sources point to as particularly troubling: Wasserman Schultz repeatedly trying to get the DNC to cover the costs of her wardrobe."

Hamlin recruited multi-instrumentalist Roger Freeman, an old friend from his hometown of Birmingham, along with Chris Lee on trumpet and James Johnstone, a guitarist, record shop assistant and newcomer to the alto sax, for initial jam sessions which would eventually evolve into Pigbag. The group would jam in parks and various other places, but their usual practice space was Hamlin's house, Beech House, which still stands on the corner of St James's Square and St George's Place in Cheltenham. After a couple of months they decided to expand the line-up, adding a rhythm section and rehearsing more seriously.

"text": "\"Debbie Wasserman Schultz Steps Down After #DNCLeaks Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was replaced over controversy prompted by a Wiki Leaks dump of DNC e-mails, but she won't be running the Clinton campaign. By Kim La Capria 25 July 20160On 22 July 2016, Wikileaks released a cache of damaging e-mails belonging to the Democratic National Committee (commonly referred to in the online world as #DNCLeaks ), including many communications involving now-former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The #DNCLeaks backlash was swift, sweeping social media in a tense pre-convention weekend. The Democratic National Convention was set to begin on 25 July 2016, and the leak occurred just three days prior to the start of that event. On 24 July 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign addressed the leaks via a statement announcing that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was stepping down as the Committee’s chairwoman: Hillary Clinton statement on the resignation of DNC head after collusion scandal emerging from Wiki Leaks’ #DNCLeakpic.twitter.com/f L5u ZMGEj1— Wiki Leaks (@wikileaks) July 24, 2016In that statement, Clinton announced that Wasserman Schultz had subsequently “agreed to serve as honorary chair of [the Clinton] campaign’s 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country,” adding that the former chair would “continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally”: I want to thank my longtime friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her leadership of the Democratic National Committee over the past five years. I am grateful to Debbie for getting the Democratic Party to this year’s historic convention in Philadelphia, and I know that this week’s events will be a success thanks to her hard work and leadership. There’s simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie–which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign’s 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states. I look forward to campaigning with Debbie in Florida and helping her in her re-election bid–because as President, I will need fighters like Debbie in Congress who are ready on day one to get to work for the American people. This announcement was received by many as meaning that Schultz had been “promoted” to a position of “running the Hillary Clinton campaign,” but others noted that the gesture was merely a symbolic courtesy: Being an honorary chair of a campaign — a position that involves no responsibilities, no employees, no budget, and no duties — is not a promotion from being chair of the DNC. Being an honorary chair does not mean that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is “in charge of” Hillary Clinton’s campaign."

"text": "The Role of Delegates in the U. S. Presidential Nominating Process TOOLBOXResize Print E-mail Reprints Joanna Klonsky Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday, February 6, 2008; 12:22 PMIntroduction In recent decades, the presidential candidates of the two major political parties in the United States generally have emerged during state-by-state primary elections and caucuses which occur in the winter and spring before a general election. Officially, candidates only become their party s presidential nominee after a vote is taken by party delegates to the Republican or Democratic presidential nominating conventions later in the summer. These delegates are supposed to take their cue from the voters who cast ballots during their states primaries and caucuses, though each party's rules make it possible for multiple rounds of balloting and significant horse trading if no candidate is able to muster a majority on the first ballot. In recent years, this has not happened. Since 1976, in fact, no major party convention has opened with the identity of the nominee in question. This year's election could see a return to contested conventions, however, due to the highly competitive state of both the Republican and Democratic primaries. The Democratic Party s nominating process could be especially complex because its rules allow for a more proportional system of delegate voting and for the presence of superdelegates, comprised of each state s elected representatives in congress, who are obliged to commit to any particular candidate. In the case of both parties, the delegate system is aimed at making sure party faithful choose the most representative, as well as most competitive candidate to represent them in the general election. But even to those following the U. S. presidential campaign closely, the role of delegates in selecting the party nominees can be confusing. What is a delegate?"

Associated Press According to a lengthy feature published in Politico on Wednesday evening, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has a strained relationship with President Barack Obama. The story, which was written by Edward-Isaac Dovere, described several factors leading to a \"\"behind the scenes struggle with the White House.\"\" These include a pair of recent gaffes, alleged efforts to get the DNC to pay for her wardrobe, and a perception Wasserman Schultz is more interested in pursuing a potential House leadership bid than supporting the party. Wasserman Schultz rejected the notion she had focused on her personal ambitions while heading the DNC. She told Politico her time leading at the party was \"\"not about me. \"\" According to Dovere, who said he conducted \"\"interviews with three dozen current and former DNC staffers, committee officers, elected officials, state party leaders, and top Democratic operatives,\"\" this tension has led to awkward in-person interactions between the president and Wasserman Schultz. The story said Obama and Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman, have \"\"rarely even talked since 2011,\"\" and she attempts to speak with the president by getting on the end of photo lines at events, where he greets her by saying, \"\"You need another picture, Debbie? \"\" Under Wasserman Schultz's leadership the DNC retired debt incurred during the 2012 election."

Republicans will now identify with the color blue. Democrats, as a result, can use the color red. In keeping with the new color scheme, the RNC also released a new logo for the party. “The RNC has made a commitment to attracting new voters and revitalizing the image of the Republican Party,” said Chairman Priebus. “ This unprecedented color swap sends a clear signal that we’re serious about change—and that we’re making a clean break with the recent past. After careful consideration and analysis, guided by two focus groups of working women in Colorado and Virginia and a poll of Millennial voters, we determined that becoming the party of blue would improve our standing in 2014, 2016 and beyond. “Now Democrats will be the party of red, which is much more in line with their record and values. After all, they are the party of red tape, red lines, and red ink. They’ve driven our country deeper in the red, and the DNC itself is swimming in red ink: they’re still $15 million in debt."

"text": "\"by World Tribune Staff, August 5, 2016Two mysterious deaths, the July 8 murder of a young Democratic staffer, and the Aug. 2 death of a man who served lawsuit papers to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), have stirred up a slew of conspiracy rumors on the web. Shawn Lucas, the man who served papers to the DNC in the fraud class action suit on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters, was found dead on Aug. 2. Shawn Lucas On July 8, 27-year-old Democratic staffer Seth Conrad Rich was murdered in Washington. An unconfirmed report said Lucas was found unresponsive on his bathroom floor. Paramedics responding to his girlfriend’s 911 call found no signs of life, the report said. On July 3, Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served papers to the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D. C. Video of the event went viral. Many users on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter, posted that Lucas’ death may have been connected to his role as the process server for the DNC lawsuit. Reports said that Lucas was named in a motion filed on July 22 by the DNC seeking to dismiss the suit on partial grounds of improper service. Rumors also spread that Rich was going to the FBI on the morning of his murder, apparently intending to speak to special agents about an “ongoing court case” possibly involving the Clinton family. “ Rich’s killer or killers appeared to have taken nothing from their victim, leaving behind his wallet, watch and phone,” reports said."

( Linked In/Seth Rich)Seth Conrad Rich’s unsolved murder on a Washington D. C. street has sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories because he was a staffer and self-described data analyst for the Democratic National Committee. Wiki Leaks is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in Rich’s death (that’s in addition to a previous $25,000 reward being offered in the case). Rich, 27, who worked for the DNC on voting issues, was shot and killed in Washington D. C., and his murder remains mysterious. “ Police have found little information to explain his death,” said The New York Daily News. Conspiracy theories are raging about Rich’s death because of his DNC employment and also the lack of an obvious motive, eyewitnesses, or suspect in the case. Rich, 27, was shot on July 10, 2016 at 4:15 in the morning near a Washington D. C. neighborhood where he lived, said CBS News. Some are also raising questions about the August death of Shawn Lucas, who served the DNC with a lawsuit alleging fraud in the presidential race. However, Lucas’ death was eventually labeled an accident as a result of a combination of drugs, including kratom. In the Rich homicide case, The Washington Post wrote: “Police said they have no suspects, witnesses or motive, though they are looking at whether Rich could have been slain in an attempted robbery."

"text": "47th Democratic National Convention Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Wells Fargo Center and The Pennsylvania Convention Center July 25-28 2016It wasn’t immediately obvious to journalists, delegates and viewers at home, but if we take a step back at the end of the 2016 Democratic National Convention and view the colorful four days at the Wells Fargo Center as a whole, the motif of the entire event becomes apparent – it was intended to be an anti-Trump advertisement. The convention was designed to collectively project a theme that stands in sharp contrast to everything that the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stands for. The convention was hopeful and optimistic; it embraced multi-ethnic, religious, and sexual diversity; it exuded a sense of empathy and kindness; and above all, it believes in the present greatness of the United States. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the 2016 Philadelphia Host Committee also deserve commendation for the almost perfect production of the four-day event, which spanned between July 25 and July 28, 2016. At times, the convention even resembles an award show – not least because of the plethora of stars present. Of course, not everything was perfect. The first day of the convention was marred by frequent boos and chants by delegates of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Wiki Leaks Julian Assange’s decision to release almost 20,000 hacked DNC emails, which contain a handful of emails showing the personal bias of several DNC officials in favor of Hillary Clinton during the primary process, was akin to pouring gasoline to an already raging fire. It even led to the resignation of DNC chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Sen. Sanders though proved that he was loyal to the progressive cause by insisting on party unity, and worked hard behind the scenes to quell the anger of his supporters."

"text": "\"1:51Why DNC chairwoman Wasserman Schultz is resigning This post has been updated. Thousands of leaked emails have sealed the fate of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's uneven five-plus-year tenure as DNC chair. Wasserman Schultz's resignation announcement Sunday afternoon comes as a bad situation just keeps getting worse -- and appears as though it might continue to do so. That's because Wiki Leaks has so far released nearly 20,000 emails, new details are still being discovered, and there is still the prospect of additional, damaging emails coming to light. Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. Basically all of these examples came late in the primary -- after Hillary Clinton was clearly headed for victory -- but they belie the national party committee's stated neutrality in the race even at that late stage. Below is a running list of the most troublesome findings for Wasserman Schultz and her party. As new revelations come out, we'll update it. [ Here's why Debbie Wasserman Schultz failed]1) Targeting Sanders's religion? On May 5, DNC officials appeared to conspire to raise Sanders's faith as an issue and press on whether he was an atheist -- apparently in hopes of steering religious voters in Kentucky and West Virginia to Clinton."

What is an i Cloud backup? Why it's good to keep your i Cloud backups Why it's OK to delete i Cloud backups How to delete i Cloud backups on your i Phone or i Pad How to delete i Cloud backups on your Mac What is an i Cloud backup?i Cloud automatically backs up all of the data on your i Phone or i Pad every day, so long as the device is connected to Wi-Fi, turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. This makes it easy to restore a device if you need to wipe it or set up a brand new i Phone or i Pad with your existing data. Here's what gets backed up to i Cloud:i Tunes purchase history Photos and videos (unless you have i Cloud Photo Library enabled)Device settings App data Home screen and app ogranizationi Message, text messages, MMS messages (if restoring, the SIM card used during back up is required)Ringtones Visual Voicemail password (if restoring, the SIM card used during back up is required)Health data Home Kit configuration It can end up being quite a lot of data, which can take up a good chunk of your i Cloud storage. Why it's good to keep your i Cloud backups Holding onto your i Cloud backups means you get to take your data virtually anywhere, with the ability to access and restore your i Phone or i Pad's data from just about anywhere. It's particularly handy for folks with multiple devices, especially those who rely on Accessibility settings, since you don't have to manually set everything up again. Why it's OK to delete i Cloud backups The moment someone recommends deleting a backup, you might look at them in shock and wonder how they even dressed themselves this morning. Relax, Jack. It's OK to delete an i Cloud backup because you have your device backed up on your Mac or Windows computer, right?"

"text": "How to change the DNS server on your i Phone and i Pad Posted by Jason on Aug 10, 2014 in i Pad Tips and Tricks, i Phone Tips and Tricks Share 7K Tweet 111 +1 267KDNS, or Domain Name System, is a server that translates domain names like apple.com to IP addresses, a numerical sequence of numbers that can locate servers on the internet. Your ISP has its own DNS server that is used by default on all your i OS devices, but you can also point it to a different DNS server. Why would you want to change the default DNS server? Most ISPs’ DNS servers aren’t fast enough, and because DNS lookups are performed very often, this could greatly impact your browsing experience. Many ISPs also redirect you to unwanted sites on some occasions for commercial benefit. If you’ve ever experienced a situation where a site opens up on other connections, but not on your connections, changing the DNS could fix the issue. So here’s how you change your DNS settings: Open the Settings app on your device, and tap on the Wi-Fi menu. Find out your Wi-Fi connection from the list of available networks, and tap on the i button on the right. Scroll down until you see the DNS section, and tap on the numbers to the right. A keyboard should appear, and you can now enter the new DNS server address."

"text": "How to Bypass i Cloud Lock By Josh Smith Posted on 07/07/2014i Cloud lock or Find My i Phone Activation Lock prevents someone from stealing an i Phone, erasing it and using it as their own. It can also lock out users who forget their information or who buy a used phone from an owner that did not remove their information from it. There are two ways to bypass i Cloud lock and activation lock to make the i Phone work again, but neither will work if the device is stolen. The simplest solution is to take the device to an Apple store with proof that you own it, but if that is not possible there is a new service that specializes in unlocking the i Cloud lock to allow you to use the i Phone just like it was new. The i Phone 4, i Phone 4s, i Phone 5, i Phone 5c and i Phone 5s all include Find My i Phone Activation Lock as part of i OS 7. This is also commonly called i Cloud lock as it can lock the phone down and prevent a thief from resetting the i Phone and selling it. Apple introduced this feature in i OS 7 last fall and it is already credited with cutting down on smartphone theft. Here is how to bypass i Cloud lock on an otherwise useless i Phone. For all the good that i Cloud lock does, it can lock out otherwise innocent users that lost access to information, to a loved one’s i Phone after they passed away and to people who purchased a used i Phone that was not unlocked. Although some used i Phones are not unlocked because they are stolen, this is also something that happens when users sell an i Phone without knowing exactly what Find My i Phone Activation lock or i Cloud lock does."

So reliable in fact, that it's easy to forget just how critical it really is. Not only is the DNS service necessary for browsing the Internet, but the Active Directory is also completely dependent on it. That being the case, it makes sense to occasionally do some monitoring to make sure the data is being replicated correctly between your DNS servers and the Active Directory. In this article, I will show you how to use the Replication Monitor tool to verify that DNS related replication is functioning correctly. Installing the Replication Monitor Although the Replication Monitor is included with Windows, it is not installed by default. The Replication Monitor is a part of the Windows Support Tools. To install the Windows Support Tools, insert your Windows Server 2003 installation CD, and navigate to the CD's \\SUPPORT\\TOOLS folder. Next, double-click on the SUPPTOOLS."

Self-service removal if you can authenticate as the i Cloud account that placed the lock on that device. Business using DEP can often use their MDM to remove the lock as a self-service action without needing Apple to be involved. For consumers, you will likely need to make an appointment at an Apple Store and provide the Genius on-hand proof of purchase (to show you're the authorized owner) along with proof of identity and they will reset Activation Lock, giving you access to the device. For businesses, it depends if you are enrolled in DEP - Apple's Device Enrollment Program or just want to provide copies of the original purchase listing serial numbers to verify ownership."

When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.

"text": "Tune In Hyena Princess Premieres Sunday, July 13, at 7 PM e/p. Description: Although they are relatively small compared to some other African creatures, hyenas are the most common carnivore in Africa. They can weigh between 90 and 190 pounds and stand 28 to 35 inches tall. The spotted hyena has a tan or brown coat with dark spots and a dark face. Habitat: Spotted hyenas live in Africa and can range in habitats from grasslands, savannas, woodlands, deserts, forests and mountains. They usually sleep in dens. Behavior: Sexual dimorphism is prominent in hyenas. Females are about three times larger than males, have more muscle mass and are more aggressive due to an excess of testosterone in their bodies. Hyenas have a range of vocal sounds, including one that sounds like laughter when they are excited. Food Source: Hyenas have a wide diet range and are both hunters and scavengers."

It is the fourth smallest biological family in the Carnivora, and one of the smallest in the mammalia. Despite their low diversity, hyenas are unique and vital components to most African and some Asian ecosystems. Although phylogenetically close to felines and viverrids, hyenas are behaviourally and morphologically similar to canines in several aspects; both hyenas and canines are non-arboreal, cursorial hunters that catch prey with their teeth rather than claws. Both eat food quickly and may store it, and their calloused feet with large, blunt, non-retractable nails are adapted for running and making sharp turns. However, the hyenas' grooming, scent marking, defecating habits, mating and parental behaviour are consistent with the behaviour of other feliforms."

"text": "\"The gray wolf ( Canis lupus, excluding the domestic dog and the dingo ), also known as the wolf, is the largest extant wild member of the Canidae family. Though once abundant over much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a reduced portion of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock, people, and pets. Gray wolves are social predators that live in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, their offspring and, occasionally, adopted immature wolves. They primarily feed on ungulates, which they hunt by wearing them down in short chases. Gray wolves are typically apex predators throughout their range, with only humans and tigers posing significant threats to them. Genetic studies reaffirm that the gray wolf is the ancestor of the domestic dog. A number of other Canis lupus subspecies have been identified, though the actual number of subspecies is still open to discussion. In areas where human cultures and wolves both occur, wolves frequently feature in the folklore and mythology of those cultures, both positively and negatively."

African Lion Hyenas View Results In the vast savannahs, two eternal enemies resides, who at times steals each other’s food and also kill the younger ones too. They are none other than African Lions and the Hyenas. Sometimes, it happens that lions get exhausted after killing a prey and so they decide to rest for a while and get back their breathe before they enjoy their meal. But, in the meanwhile, the hyenas smell the fresh blood and spring into action to have it and for that they are ready to challenge the big cats as well. The only advantage that hyenas have is that the lions are tired after such a big kill and another thing is that hyenas have come in a big group. Generally, when the hyenas attack the lions, they do it in a huge group so that they can outnumber the lions. Hyenas vs African Lion Comparison Though the Lions are considered as one of the most powerful animals, but still they are also forced to face competition from the hyenas and it is mainly for the food. The problem is that both the lions and hyenas hunt similar preys, cover almost the same ground as well as are the scavengers of the same animal remains, therefore, both possess competition for each other. Whoever wins the duel can feast on the huge meal."

Their real habitat is the open savanna where they hunt mammals such as gazelles, antelope, and zebra. They may also cooperate to catch larger mammals such as buffalo, giraffes and even crocodiles. Lionesses, or female lions, usually do most of the hunting. Sometimes they work together to flush out prey. One lion will scare out prey towards the others making it difficult to escape. Lions live in groups called prides. These prides usually consist of as many as 15 lionesses and their young, and 3 adult males."

That’s because lions are at the top of their food chain, and at the very center of their food web. Lions have almost no predators. However, old, sick lions are sometimes attacked, killed and eaten by hyenas. And very young lions can be killed by hyenas, leopards and other predators when they are not being watched carefully by their mothers.

All About Small Predators and Scavengers: Skunk belongs to small predators. Small predators are carnivorous, but most of them eat other foods like dog food, vegetables, fruit and even garbage. Most of them are nocturnal, meaning they hunt at night and sleep during the day. They’re also really smart. Some small predators are obviously wild. You wouldn’t try to catch a hyena, right? Others seem like they’d make good pets."

They are not choosy as they will consume almost anything ranges from birds, lizards, insects, to snakes. Hyenas also feed on zebras and gazelles. Hyenas exist in large numbers which is why they often outrun their competitors while hunting; even lionesses are forced to leave their hunt when hyenas arrive in groups. Although rarely, hyenas also scavenge on leftovers of animals. They hunt in groups comprising 3 to 5 individuals but larger numbers are also expected if it comes to hunting large-sized mammals. Hyenas have a keen sense of smell. What Do Hyenas Eat in the Wild Spotted Hyenas The spotted hyena stands as an opportunistic hunter and it primarily finds easier ways to catch its prey. While these famed hunter-scavengers attack medium sized mammals, they usually prefer young mammals or calves that do not demand too much hard work. The wildebeest’s calves are one of the most popular diets of spotted hyenas."

The living sloths comprise six species of medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call the sloth suborder Folivora, while some call it Phyllophaga. Both names mean \"\"leaf-eaters\"\"; the first is derived from Latin, the second from ancient Greek. Tribal names include Ritto, Rit and Ridette, mostly forms of the word \"\"sleep\"\", \"\"eat\"\" and \"\"dirty\"\" from Tagaeri tribe of Huaorani. This page mainly deals with the living tree-dwelling sloths. Until geologically recent times, large ground sloths such as Megatherium lived in South America and parts of North America, but along with many other animals they disappeared immediately after the arrival of humans on the continent. Much evidence suggests that human hunting contributed to the extinction of the American megafauna, like that of far northern Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Madagascar. Simultaneous climate change that came with the end of the last Ice age may have also played a role in some cases. However, the fact that ground sloths survived on the Antilles long after they had died out on the mainland points towards human activities as the agency of extinction."

Read on to learn more about these unique creatures and what their endangerment means to us. What is a Sloth? A sloth is a slow moving herbivorous mammal that has been around in the Americas for at least 60 million years. Until about 12,000 years ago, most of the many species were ground sloths, and some of them - most famously the Megatherium - were as large as elephants. At one time they inhabited both North and South America. Today there are six living species of tree sloths in the rainforests of South America. Their closest relatives are armadillos and anteaters. Modern sloths come in two varieties. Two species of two-toed sloths belong to family Megalonychidae, and four species of three-toed sloths are in family Bradypodidae."

Sloths spend almost their entire life upside down in the trees. They eat, sleep, mate and give birth from this position hanging high among the branches.

Thankfully, since then things have improved somewhat for most of us – getting hit by a bus is probably the modern equivalent of being torn apart by wolves. However, there are still far flung places and environments beyond the control of man, where even today, man-eating animals roam wild, stalking human prey as a between meal snack…Whilst rare, there have been a number of high profile man eaters, many occurring within the last 100 years. Here, I’m going to list out the deadliest of all these man eaters and look at some of the most disturbing habitual individual killers.10. Man eating river fish: Now we all know that piranhas can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. And that anyone falling into the Amazon River is as good as dead when these vicious fish are around. Well, it turns out that most of the stories about piranhas are a little exaggerated. But, as with many myths there is a grain of truth and much of the legendary reputation of the piranha can be traced back to a single incident. During a visit to Brazil, and the Amazon, by the American president Theodore Roosevelt local fishermen set up a spectacle involving piranhas. The men had blocked off part of the river and starved the piranha for several days."

"text": "Seed Dispersal by Animals Categories: Life Sciences, Plants and Trees Seed dispersal means the movement or transportation of seeds away from the parent plant. This science article investigates how plant seeds hitch a lift from animals, birds and humans. There are three principal methods of seed dispersal:1) ‘Hitchhiker’ seeds attaching themselves to feathers and fur Seeds hitch a ride by attaching themselves to the feathers of birds such as this ‘Black Noddy’ from Australia….to the fur of dogs….to the bodies of cows….… and onto the bodies of humans!‘Hitchhiker’ seeds use a variety of methods of attaching themselves so they don’t fall off as they are being transported. Hitchhiker seeds are often contained inside prickly dried fruits called ‘burrs’. ‘ Burrs’ attach themselves by different methods which include…single hooks…double hooks …spears with barbs…and spikes. ‘Spikes’ can be incredibly painful when they stick into the soles of your feet as you walk barefoot!‘Spears' (without barbs) are another way in which seeds hitch a lift. Each of the ‘spears’ of this ‘rip gut grass’ has microscopic hairs that point backwards. They are difficult to remove after they become embedded in animal fur or human socks!‘Claws’ are also very effective; ‘devils claws’ are capsules (pods) containing the seeds of Proboscidea plants. The seed capsules are actually dry fruits which lie around on the ground waiting to hitch a lift from larger mammals such as humans!These dry fruit pods contain the seeds of a double clawed species of Proboscidea called the Proboscidea parviflora."

Here are some important features that distinguish them: Mammals have advanced brains that benefit them in many ways. Hair on their bodies insulates from the cold. Finally, they do not lay eggs, but bear live young (this way, they can stay mobile during pregnancy instead of having to guard eggs). And the production of milk provides an ever available source of food for the offspring. Of around 4800 mammal species worldwide, 200 can be found in Costa Rica. Spotting mammals requires similar attention as spotting birds. Early in the morning is a good time (as nocturnal animals make their way to sleep) and zones around water bear a better chance of being frequented by mammals. As with most animals, try to remain quiet as you walk along: if they won’t hear you, you might hear them!Sloth (esp: perezoso)Of the five sloth species occurring in Costa Rica, there are two main families of sloths: two-toed and three-toed sloths.

The sloths that have two-toes also have only two fingers and are faster and larger than those in the three-toe family. Hundreds of years ago, it is believed that there were three-toed sloths that grew to the size of elephants. Unfortunately those sloths are now extinct. Both families can live in the same tropical rainforest. Two-toed sloths tend to live on the ground and three-toed sloths live in the trees. This allows them to live equally happy without disturbing one another. Both families are omnivores (they eat meat and vegetables). Their diets generally consists of: small lizards, insects, carrion (animal flesh that is decaying), leaves, buds, small birds and tender shoots."

They are not really eels, but a kind of knifefish (and related to catfish). They are among the deadliest denizens of the South American rivers. It has not one, but three specialized organs to produce electric currents strong enough (600 volts, sometimes more) to stun or kill an adult human. It is believed that many “unexplained” disappearances of people while swimming in the Amazon and Orinoco rivers, could be due to them being stunned by an electric eel and drowning, or even, dying because of the eel’s discharge itself. Many of these deaths are often blamed on attacks by predatory animals such as piranha or caiman. The electric eel doesn’t eat human beings; it feeds on smaller fish, crabs and small mammals. It only attacks in self defense, and handling an electric eel or even entering the water wherever these fish are common should be avoided at all costs.9Constriction Python, anaconda Pythons and boas (anacondas being a kind of boa) are not venomous."

These pongs have proved to be valuable tools By Jasmin Fox-Skelly10 June 2015Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry. The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away. The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m. Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. The skunk is not the only animal to use foul smells to get rid of predators. The green wood hoopoe, a tropical bird native to Africa, points its tail at threatening animals and excretes a foul stench. The chemicals responsible for the smell include dimethyl sulphide, which gives rotten eggs their distinctive smell. Young green wood hoopoes can also squirt liquid faeces when attacked."

In fact, the three-toed sloth is one of the planet's slowest mammals, moving so little that algae grows in its bushy coat, giving it a greenish hue that provides camouflage as the animal sleeps and eats in the trees. Treetop Dining Three-toed sloth varieties spend their lives in the canopies of the South and sometimes Central American tropical rain forests they call home. Their strong limbs and claws afford them the luxury of clutching to and hanging from tree limbs for days at a time. There, some sloths clock in 15 to 20 hours of sleep a day. When they are awake, their arboreal lifestyle offers them limited choices in food, and so, as herbivores, they eat whatever plant matter is available to them in the trees. Finding Food Finding food might not seem easy for a three-toed sloth; the animals are notoriously handicapped when it comes to both seeing and hearing the world around them. What's more, because the sloth spends the majority of its day sleeping, it feeds at night, making its poor sense of sight almost entirely useless. Still, three-toed sloths manage to forage for and consume a handful of different foods, including leaves, fruits and shoots."

"text": "Asia Trail is home to the Smithsonian's National Zoo’s most famous residents: giant pandas Tian Tian (adult male), Mei Xiang (adult female), and a male cub named Bei Bei. Ever since the first giant pandas arrived at the Zoo in 1972, animal care staff and Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute scientists have studied giant panda biology, behavior, breeding, reproduction, disease, ecology, and habitat in order to advance conservation efforts around the world. For those that can’t see the pandas in person at the David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat, online visitors can catch a glimpse on the Panda Cam, sponsored by Ford Motor Company Fund. Red pandas, Asian small-clawed otters, clouded leopards, fishing cats and sloth bears are the other residents along Asia Trial. Visitors can see sloth bears vacuum up mealworms from artificial termite mounds, watch fishing cats wade into pools, and observe Asian small-clawed otters scurry from the banks of a shallow stream to a roaring waterfall. Enrichment Nearby Daily Demos Conservation Meet the Animals The Smithsonian’s National Zoo provides Asia Trail residents with enrichment —physically and mentally stimulating toys, activities and environments. An exhibit’s design is carefully and deliberately planned to ensure the comfort, safety and health of the animals. Enrichment is tailored to give an animal the opportunity to use its natural behaviors in novel and exciting ways. As with any enrichment activity, an animal can either choose to participate or not. At Asia Trail, enclosures were designed to encompass elements that mimic the animals’ wild habitats and encourage natural foraging and social behaviors."

Now there are only two with five species living in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. There are two species of two-toed sloth in South America – (Choloepus hoffmanni or Unau) found in the forested regions of northern South America from Ecuador to Costa Rica, and (Choloepus didattylus) in Brazil. There are three species of three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) in in coastal Ecuador, through Columbia and Venezuela (except for Llanos, and the Orinoco river delta), continuing through the forested areas of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, through-out Brazil and extending to the northern portion of Argentina and Central America,Read: Animals of the Galapagos The difference between the species, as named, is in the front toes, as both genera have three toes on their hind feet, but they are not related families. The world’s slowest moving mammal, sloths of South America are tree dwellers, safer from ground predators. They carry out most of their activities hanging upside down in trees. They eat, sleep, mate, give birth, and tend their young suspended over the ground. It takes them about two and half years to grow to full size, between one and a half and two and a half feet. ( Their ancestor, the extinct Giant Sloth, grew to the size of an elephant.)"

The average annual temperature is above 20� C ; there is never a frost. Rainfall varies widely from a low of about 250cm of rain per year to about 450 cm/year . That means a range from about 8 to 14 feet of rain per year. World Distribution: As you can see from the map to the right, the tropical rainforests are, indeed, located in the tropics, a band around the equator from 23.5� N (the Tropic of Cancer) to 23.5� S (the Tropic of Capricorn) (red lines on map, right). Because the Earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis as it travels around the sun, at some point in the year (the solstices, June 22nd in the north, December 22nd in the south) the sun will be directly overhead on one of these lines. At the equinoxes the sun is directly over the equator. Within this band, solar radiation is most intense, and thus the surface of the planet warms the most. The warmth leads to a lot of evaporation, and as warm, moist air rises, it cools, the water condenses, and the water falls back to the earth as rain . Thus, the warmest areas of the planet also tend to be the wettest , and this sets the stage for the tropical rain forest."

"text": "Ushguli, Georgia – Europe’s Highest Village By Jennifer Walker On April 13, 2015 7 Comments The peaks of the Caucasus Mountains dwarf the crumbling defensive towers that are doing their best to reach up to the sky. High above the rest of Europe, for those who still include Georgia as its final frontier, the village of Ushguli is the continent’s highest continually inhabited settlement. Svan towers and Mount Shkhara Ushguli is also unusual in that it’s not a singular village, but rather four small communities clustered together in a remote part of northern Georgia. This region of Svaneti is a land wrapped in myth. It was once the supposed home of the Golden Fleece, where sheepskin hides were used in panning for gold in the mountain rivers, and Svaneti also made up the northern fringes of the ancient kingdom of Colchis. In more recent history, Svaneti was known for its bandits, Medieval defensive towers and local tribes with their own culture and the Svan language. Mestia – the restored old town. Since the new road opened, connecting the rest of Georgia to Mestia, the main town in Svaneti, the region has started to modernise at a drastic rate. Mestia has already embarked on its aggressive mission to become the Swiss resort of the Caucasus, and while the old part of the town retains its unique character dotted with signature Svan towers, the rest of the town has been transformed into a chic European style ski resort. Mount Ushba – one of the highest mountains in this part of the Caucasus Mountains."

The Caucasus region has a long history of conflict and bloodshed among its peoples. The ethnic complexity of the Caucasus is unequalled in Eurasia, and there are nearly sixty distinct peoples living in the area, and fifty languages originate from the region. Many of these groups are quite small in population, yet they have been able to retain their distinct languages and cultures. The Caucasus is the most politically unstable region of the former Soviet Union. Since 1989, the region has been the site of five wars, including two within the territory of the Russian Federation: the North Ossetian–Ingush war (1992) and the Chechen–Russian war (1994–96). The Chechens live in a small territory called Chechnya that lies within the Russian Federation along the border with Georgia. The Caucasus Mountains protect them not only from enemies but from outside influences in general. The Chechens therefore have retained many traditional customs and practices. The Chechens were threatened throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially by Russian domination."

Bible: In Genesis 10 and 1Chronicles 1, the fifth son of the patriarch Japheth is named Tubal and the sixth – is named Meshech. Roman Literature: In the Septuagint the name is given as Th-obel, and Th-ober in the Codex Alexandrinus (Ezek. 39:1). To the Greeks, the sons of Tubal were the Τ-ιβαρηνοί (T-ibar-enoi); to the Romans they were the T- ibar-eni or T-iber-eni. Herodotus (Roman historian) says the land of the Tibarenians belonged to the 19th satrapy of Darius the Persian (Histories, III, 94). In VII, 78 we see the T-ibar-enians or T-iber-enians allied with their cousins the Maschians or Meskhians, sons of Meshech. Both peoples were renowned for their archery skills, and the close association of the descendants of Tubal with those of Meshech even to the present day is attested in several of the prophecies in the Bible that have a future fulfillment.

They may have been an amalgamation of several such groups - the Magyars who came later were originally a mix of Hungarian and Turkic speaking tribes. They are recorded around the Volga river and north of the Caucasus and their westward migration displaced the Goths across the Danube. Their Empire consisted mainly of Goths and Gothic was the language most commonly used, and the Goths (and later even some Romans) took up the Hunnic lifestyle of pastoralism and horseriding within their Empire.

"text": "\"About us Overview Background Goals News“We conclude that irrespective of the Early Upper Paleolithic presence of anatomically modern humans both south and north of the Caucasus (Mellars 2006; Adler et al. 2008; Krause et al.2010),the combined autosomal and gender-specific genetic variation of the Caucasian 13populations testifies to their predominantly southern, Near/Middle Eastern descent. Y chromosomal variants under strong founder events, seen in particular among populations inhabiting the northern flank of the High Caucasus Mountain Range, appear to never have expanded to the East European Plain, while the nomadic people of the latter, once settled down predominantly on the northern slopes of the Caucasus, have likely preserved, to different extent, some oftheir earlier genetic heritage. In sum, though the Caucasus may well have served as a corridor for numerous invasive expeditions in the past,this has had only a minor influence on the largely sedentary core populations of the region, characterized by much greater autosomal uniformity than that might be expected from a region of deep linguistic and cultural diversity. This suggests that the core of the autosomal genetic structure of the Caucasian populations may have formed before its present-day linguistic diversity, including the language families autochthonous for the region, arose. ”'The Caucasus as an asymmetricsemipermeable barrier to ancient human migrations' By Yunusbayev et al. 2011\"\"Various Near Eastern groups invaded the Caucasus numerous times during the last two millennia including the occupation of Georgia by Arab caliphs after 654 AD (Muskhelishvili 1977), the Seljuc Turks invasion of the South Caucasus in the 11th century (Muskhelishvili 1977), and repeated invasions by Turks and Persians (Muskhelishvili 1977 and references therein). Indeed, strong Y-chromosomal gene flow from the Near East to the Caucasus has been clearly demonstrated for the interpolated maps of admixture proportions in a recent study of Central Asian populations (Zerjal et al.2002). Although these male-mediated invasions from the Near East might possibly explain why the Caucasian Y-haplogroups are of Near Eastern origin, they do not explain why mt DNA and Alu insertion polymorphisms group the Caucasus with Europe. A possible explanation for this latter result would be a common ancestry of Caucasian and European populations."

There are scholarly disagreements about how and when some of our dark-skinned ancestors developed lighter skin, but research suggests humans moved across the Asian and European continents about 50,000 years ago. Some anthropologists think that natural selection would have favored lightening mutations as humans moved away from the equator and faced a diminished threat from ultraviolet exposure. In this case, it's possible that light skin would have evolved in many places independently."

Yet dotted within the pristine landscape are thousands of ancient megalithic structures built many millennia ago. Archaeologists do not know who built them, where the stones came from, or what their true purpose was, leading to much speculation in the scientific community. The Russians call the megalithic structures dolmens, which means ‘portal tomb’, but despite the name, there is no solid evidence that their original purpose was for burial. Archaeologists put their age at 4000 to 6,000 years old, based on pottery found in the vicinity of the dolmens, as well as human remains, but there is no way to prove whether these were put there much later. While there are tens of thousands of known dolmens throughout the world, particularly throughout Europe, the Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed cyclopic stone blocks. The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners, and all of them are punctuated with a portal in the centre of the facade. While round holes are the most common, square ones have also been found. Stone plugs have been found at almost every tomb, and were used to block the portal at the front. Most of the Caucasian dolmens contain an almost perfectly formed circle at the front."

[ 3]Hesiod described three one-eyed cyclopes who served as builders, blacksmiths, and craftsmen: Brontes, Steropes and Arges, the sons of Uranus and Gaia, brothers of the Titans. [ 4] Homer described another group of mortal herdsmen or shepherd cyclopes, the sons of Poseidon. [ 5] Other accounts were written by the playwright Euripides, poet Theocritus and Roman epic poet Virgil. In Hesiod 's Theogony, Zeus releases three cyclopes from the dark pit of Tartarus. They provide Zeus' thunderbolt, Hades ' helmet of invisibility, and Poseidon 's trident, and the gods use these weapons to defeat the Titans. In an episode of Homer 's Odyssey, the hero Odysseus encounters the cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon and Thoosa, who lives with his fellow cyclopes in a distant country."

Some archaeologists tend to identify the Cimmerians with the Chernogorovka and Novocherkassk cultures (ca. 900 to 650 BC) which were Iron Age steppe cultures in Ukraine and Russia, centered between the Prut and the lower Don. On the other hand they admit that the Cimmerians in other regions, such as the Caucasus are characterized by findings that are indistinguishable from the early Scythian ones. The Greeks said the Cimmerians were different from the Scythians and fled from them. Greek historians such as Herodotus distinguished between the earlier Cimmerians and the Scythians. Later Greek and Roman writers did the same. They traced the Cimmerians to the Celts and to the peoples of north and Scandinavia. The Scythians were considered to have come later. Assyrian records say the Scythians emerged from the Cimmerians."

"text": "Luigi Villari FIRE AND SWORD IN THE CAUCASUS [ page 15 ]CHAPTER ITHE CAUCASUS, ITS PEOPLES, AND ITS HISTORYTHE history of Russia has been a series of expansions to the west, the south, and the east, towards the open sea. Each territory occupied was, sooner or later, absorbed into the Empire of which it became in every way an integral part. The fact that Russia was not separated from her colonial possessions by the sea made the process of absorption easier, and the line of demarcation between the mother-country and her colonies is therefore less definite than in the case of Britain or France. Moreover, the fact that the Empire has hitherto been governed despotically made the question of the forms of government to be adopted in the various provinces less important than it is in constitutionally governed States. The general aim of the ruling classes has been to assimilate as far as possible every part of the Empire, from Poland to the Pacific Ocean and from the Arctic Sea to Mount Ararat. Yet as a matter of fact the conditions are very different, and while we have a central mass of Russian-speaking peoples, numbering more than half the entire population of the Empire and inhabiting a vast, monotonous [ page 16 ]zone of plains, on the borders there are provinces as different from Russia proper and from each other as any in the dominions of England. Of all these border-lands, none exceeds in interest that region known as the Caucasus. Its giant mountains, its magnificent scenery, its rich and varied vegetation, its extraordinary collection of different races, speaking countless languages, and representing almost every branch of the human family, its strange history and the beautiful monuments of its art, make of it a wonderland of romance, exercising a fascination on all who visit it. Caucasia is a broad isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian, traversed by a great chain of mountains rising to a height of 18,000 feet. North of the range is a region of interminable plains, known as the Northern Caucasus, or Ciscaucasia, merging imperceptibly into the steppes of the Don and the Volga."

He named it 'Caucasian' based on the region of Caucasia. - The region of Caucasia is mainly around the whole europe. Hope that helps!

We will study the Antes, Veneti, Sclaveni, the three major ethnic divisions of the Slavic race of whom the Russians are now the leading nation. The development of the Slavic or Sclavic* tribes is necessarily veiled in obscurity because of their geographical location and their historical relation to the rest of the world. * There are many different spellings of the derivations of these words because of their passage through many languages of differing phonetic systems.

Arguably, they are also the Games that have had the biggest impact on the environment. For years, environmental groups have called for more attention to be paid to the damage done to the region's natural reserves due to the large-scale construction of sports facilities, residential areas, tunnels, roads and railways needed for Sochi to host the Games. But their pleas were mostly ignored, and many activists were detained or harassed in an attempt to silence them. A lengthy report on the environmental damage caused by the Games preparations was presented earlier this month in Moscow. Protected area A huge sign close to the Olympic Park near Sochi bearing the words \"\"Ornithological Park\"\" warns visitors it's a protected area and it's prohibited to disturb the wildlife here. Behind the sign is a large pond with ducks and other water birds, surrounded by bare terrain with sparse, recently planted vegetation. On all sides it's surrounded by residential areas built to host athletes and journalists. If anything, this ‘ornithological park' is reminiscent of a large urban pond.

The caste system in India is a very ancient form of social stratification that evolved in Vedic Times, gained more complexity in the Ancient Era and faced additions during Muslim Rule. Since everyone has drained the Hindu Caste System I wanted to discuss the Muslim Version of this system and what it means. Many people are not aware of this but, a caste system does exist among Muslims from South Asia as it does with Hindus. However, the Muslim variant of caste comes in direct violation of Islam’s view as everyone is an equal. The system arose in the Early Delhi Sultanates as a court adviser suggested a system that paralleled that of the Hindus that lived in India. The Hindu caste system is based on occupation while the Muslim caste system is based on ancestry. The system goes like this: Ashrafs (Foreigners who came to India and assimilated): Syeds - People from the Arabian Peninsula who claim descent from The Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W). These people arrived during the conquest of Sindh, trade in Kerala and the Konkan and Ummayad expansion into Multan. Sheikhs - People from Arabia, who arrived during the first few successive Delhi Sultanates as well as the era before Indian Muslim Empires, by trade, conquest or missionary quests to several regions of the Subcontinent."

"text": "Caste System in India and Its origin theory June 18, 2013by Ramandeep Kaur An intricate caste system in India influences life to a great extent. Castes or jatis (as they are called in India) are actually the hereditary grouping of people defining their social status. Even after so many years of Independence, caste-based demarcation is still there; though with time, it is changing. In urban areas, this separation is not that obvious but the difference between various castes becomes obvious in rural areas. Sometimes the caste-based gap takes a violent turn and leads to clashes between various groups segregated on the basis of their castes. Moreover anti-social elements use the caste system to promote their vested interest. SHARE THIS ARTICLE ONOrigin of Caste System in India Earlier, the caste of a person in India used to define his or her occupation and till death the person had to stick to that occupation. People from upper caste were not allowed to mingle and marry a person from any other caste. Thereby, castes in India were exactly demarcating the society. Generally, caste system is associated with Hindu religion."

"text": "Untouchable, also called Dalit, officially Scheduled Caste, formerly Harijan, in traditional Indian society, the former name for any member of a wide range of low-caste Hindu groups and any person outside the caste system. The use of the term and the social disabilities associated with it were declared illegal in the constitutions adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1949 and of Pakistan in 1953. Mahatma Gandhi called untouchables Harijans (“Children of the God Hari Vishnu,” or simply “Children of God”) and long worked for their emancipation. However, this name is now considered condescending and offensive. The term Dalit later came to be used, though that too occasionally has negative connotations. The official designation Scheduled Caste is the most common term now used in India. Kocheril Raman Narayanan, who served as president of India from 1997 to 2002, was the first member of a Scheduled Caste to occupy a high office in the country. Many different hereditary castes have been traditionally subsumed under the title untouchable, each of which subscribes to the social rule of endogamy (marriage exclusively within the caste community) that governs the caste system in general. Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were those whose occupations and habits of life involved ritually polluting activities, of which the most important were (1) taking life for a living, a category that included, for example, fishermen, (2) killing or disposing of dead cattle or working with their hides for a living, (3) pursuing activities that brought the participant into contact with emissions of the human body, such as feces, urine, sweat, and spittle, a category that included such occupational groups as sweepers and washermen, and (4) eating the flesh of cattle or of domestic pigs and chickens, a category into which most of the indigenous tribes of India fell. Orthodox Hindus regarded the hill tribes of India as untouchables not because they were primitive or pagan but because they were eaters of beef and of the scavenging village pigs and chickens."

So, here we'll focus more specifically what’s been done to alleviate poverty so far and what is still holding things back. The economic reforms of 1991, despite spurring a huge growth of the economy, have left the country with terrible inequalities, within cities as well as between urban and rural areas. They were the best opportunity to seriously tackle the causes of poverty in India and more specifically rural poverty. With two thirds of the population living in rural areas and some 500 million poor (or more), even urban poverty stems from the rural migrations to the city. Agriculture is the key This means that the government should have in priority overhauled the agricultural sector. By improving agricultural productivity it would have directly alleviated poverty by the hundreds of millions (just like in China did in the 1990s). But what happened it totally different. Governments gave a disproportionate priority to the cities and the services sector (notably banking, insurance, finance, real estate and IT services), thus trying to leapfrog the usual pattern of economic development: from agriculture to manufacture to services (in terms of importance in the economy).

But often the pupils leave speaking a language that would not be recognised in London or New York. Could this Hinglish be the language of India's future? Why, half a century after Indian independence, does English remain the language of higher education, national media, the upper judiciary and bureaucracy and corporate business? The answer is that India, unlike its rival Asian giant China, has no truly national language of its own. Hindi, the official language of central government, is an artificial and largely unspoken 20th Century construct. Even the colloquial Hindustani of Bollywood films is spoken by only 40% of the population, concentrated in the \"\"cow belt\"\" of northern India.

Legislature, judiciary, and executive should respect boundaries laid out in Constitution: PM Modi The day is remembered as Dr Ambedkar Mahaparinirvan Diwas. Dr Ambedkar was a jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who is widely regarded as ‘The Father of the Indian Constitution’. His campaigns against social discrimination against Dalits, women, and labourers are part of history. PM Modi praises Constitution, says it will help in building 'New India'Here are 14 interesting facts about Dr Ambedkar: Bhimrao was born on April 14, 1891, and he was the 14th and the last child of his parents. His father, Ramji Maloji Sakpal, served as a Subedar Major in the Indian Army during the British rule - the highest rank during that time. Bhimabai Murbadkar Sankpal was his mother, and she died when the boy was four. Parents had originally named Bhimrao as 'Ambavadekar'. However, a high school Brahmin teacher, who used to like Bhimrao and admire his capabilities, changed his name to Ambedkar, which was his family name. In 1906, Bhimrao was married at the age of 15 to Ramabai, who was nine at that time."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the legal term, see Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Dalit, meaning \"\"broken/scattered\"\" in Sanskrit and Hindi, is a term mostly used for the castes in India that have been subjected to untouchability. Dalits were excluded from the four-fold varna system of Hinduism and were seen as forming a fifth varna, also known by the name of Panchama. The term dalits was in use as a translation for the British Raj census classification of Depressed Classes prior to 1935. It was popularised by the economist and reformer B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956), himself a Dalit, and in the 1970s its use was invigorated when it was adopted by the Dalit Panthers activist group. India's National Commission for Scheduled Castes considers official use of dalit as a label to be \"\"unconstitutional\"\" because modern legislation prefers Scheduled Castes; however, some sources say that Dalit has encompassed more communities than the official term of Scheduled Castes and is sometimes used to refer to all of India's oppressed peoples. A similar all-encompassing situation prevails in Nepal. Scheduled Caste communities exist across India, although they are mostly concentrated in four states; they do not share a single language or religion. They comprise 16.6 per cent of India's population, according to the 2011 Census of India. Similar communities are found throughout the rest of South Asia, in Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka."

"text": "\"Trinicenter Special Abstract of Article Location: ( www.hrw.org) India’s caste system is perhaps the world’s longest surviving social hierarchy. A defining feature of Hinduism, caste encompasses a complex ordering of social groups on the basis of ritual purity. A person is considered a member of the caste into which he or she is born and remains within that caste until death, although the particular ranking of that caste may vary among regions and over time. Differences in status are traditionally justified by the religious doctrine of karma, a belief that one’s place in life is determined by one’s deeds in previous lifetimes. Traditionalscholarship has described this more than 2,000-year-old system within the context of the four principal varnas, or large caste categories. In order of precedence these are the Brahmins (priests and teachers), the Ksyatriyas (rulers and soldiers), the Vaisyas (merchants and traders), and the Shudras (laborers and artisans). A fifth category falls outside the varna system and consists of those known as “untouchables” or Dalits; they are often assigned tasks too ritually polluting to merit inclusion within the traditional varna system. Within the four principal castes, there are thousands of sub-castes, also called jatis, endogamous groups that are further divided along occupational, sectarian, regional and linguistic lines. Collectively all of these are sometimes referred to as “caste Hindus” or those falling within the caste system. The Dalits are described as varna-sankara: they are “outside the system”—so inferior to other castes that they are deemed polluting and therefore “untouchable.”"

According to government orders issued in this regard on Friday, the tuition fee for MBBS course for ‘A’ category seats in both private, unaided minority and non-minority medical colleges has been fixed at Rs.10,000 per annum and Rs.11,00,000 for ‘B’ category seats. For ‘C’ category (NRI), it should not exceed five times maximum chargeable fee to ‘B’ category students per annum. For undergraduate dental courses in private, unaided minority and non-minority dental colleges, the fee has been fixed at Rs.10,000 per annum for ‘A’ category, Rs.4,50,000 for ‘B’ category and not exceeding five times maximum chargeable fee to ‘B’ category students. The tuition fee is payable annually for four academic years and there will be a five per cent increment in tuition fee per year to offset inflation. Students who were admitted into the course prior to 2015 will continue to pay every year the same annual fee as had existed at the time of their admissions till they complete the course. Consensual arrangement Vijayawada Special Correspondent adds: In pursuance of the Supreme Court judgment a “consensual arrangement” has been arrived at in adopting the admission policy and seat matrix for the quota of competent authority and EAMCET ranking based on management seats, NRI and NRI sponsored seats in unaided non-minority medical, dental colleges in the State. The Health Medical and Family Welfare Department in an order issued on Friday listed several amendments to the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulations of Admission and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983 (A. P. Act No.5 of 1983) and the Regulation of Admission into Under Graduate Medical and Dental Professional Courses) Rules, 2007. The G. O. listed several amendments to Regulation of Admission Rules 4, 5 and 6. According to the amendments 50 per cent of the seats in Category ‘A’ would be filled through counselling by the committee constituted by the competent authority as per merit from the candidates who qualified in EAMCET held by the State."

( For Child Benefit, you will be contacted automatically as soon as you register the birth. ) The birth certificate will contain the information on the child and the parents that is given at the time of registration, so it is important that the information given is accurate. It is difficult to change the details after the initial registration. ( See 'Correction of errors' below. ) If the parents of a child are not married to each other, there is no presumption in law as to who the father of the child is, unless the father's name is on the birth certificate. You can read more about establishing paternity in the document Presumption of paternity. The Civil Registration Act 2004 changed some of the rules about registering a birth.

Introduction Effective March 5, 2012, anyone applying for an original or renewal of their Hawaii driver’s license or permit must show proof of legal presence in the U. S. Legal presence means that a person is either a U. S. citizen or is legally authorized to be in the United States. Act 38, Session Laws of Hawaii 2010, prohibits the issuance of a Hawaii driver’s license to any person that is not legally in the United States and limits the term of the issued licenses only for the period that the applicant is temporarily authorized to be in the United States. Legal Presence Affects Everyone Legal presence requirements affect anyone applying for a Hawaii driver’s license, including U. S. citizens and foreign-born applicants, those applying for a learner’s permit, and permit holders passing their road test to obtain a driver’s license. Legal presence also applies to anyone who has just moved to Hawaii from another state or country, and anyone renewing their Hawaii driver’s license or permit. Proof of legal presence will be required from: Applicants applying for an original Hawaii driver’s license. Anyone who has never held or is re-applying for a Hawaii driver’s license must provide proof of legal presence in the U. S. Applicants renewing their Hawaii driver’s license. Anyone who renews their Hawaii driver’s license must provide proof of legal presence in the U. S. Applicants who are U. S. citizens and aliens admitted for permanent residence status in the U. S. will need to provide proof of legal presence documents every second renewal. Drivers reinstating their driving privilege because of a license revocation or cancellation."

S. government has kept and maintained records of the people since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In the earlier days of the Union, these records were limited to the census, immigration, court cases, some marriages, very few births and only a limited amount of deaths. Now you can easily perform a public records search online and have your information in minutes. It’s simple to search criminal records by case number. You can easily find criminal records by state, search criminal records by name, search criminal records by county by using a national criminal records database. The census was first performed back in 1790 by the marshals who would continue to perform them until the establishment of the Census Bureau in 1902. These various public records such as criminal court records, police records and other vital public records information was kept in logs and have sat on shelves for the longest time. Some of them have been destroyed over the years while some still remain intact. If your wanting criminal records with pictures then the records will have to be recent and will usually come from a background check agencies."

There is no fee for changing your name due to marriage in Connecticut as long as you live in the state. However, you will need to provide proof that you are married in the form of a certified marriage license. A certified copy of your marriage license will cost $20 and can be obtained at the Registrar of Vital Statistics (usually the Town Clerk) of the town where your marriage ceremony was held. [ 4] [5]If you reside in another state, but want to change your maiden name, check with your local Town Clerk or an attorney authorized to practice law in your home state. Connecticut law does not require you change your name when you get married. You can also decide how you are going to combine or adjust your name with your spouse’s name. For example: Barney Rubble and Velma Rubble, or Barney Rubble and Velma Lee, or Barney Rubble-Lee and Velma Rubble-Lee. Women who would like to take their husband’s last name after marriage can do so without going through the Probate Court. [ 6]2 Follow the basic procedure for changing your name."

Muscarinic, G-Protein Mediated Receptors The key response differences between muscarinic and nicotinic receptors is that the response of muscarinic receptors: (Hoffman and Taylor 2001)Is slower. May be excitatory or inhibitory. Do not affect skeletal muscles, but do influence the activity of smooth muscle, exocrine glands, and the cardiac conduction system. In contrast to skeletal muscle and neurons, smooth muscle and the cardiac conduction system normally exhibit intrinsic electrical and mechanical rhythmic activity. This activity is modulated, rather than initiated, by the muscarinic receptors. ( Hoffman and Taylor 2001) For those interested in how muscarinic receptors work at the molecular level, the subject is covered in the Optional Reading below. Molecular Physiology of Muscarinic Receptors ( Optional Reading)Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors --- like nicotinic receptors -- are proteins that extend through the cell membrane from the outside to the inside."

"text": "\"acetylcholine The Oxford Companion to the Body © The Oxford Companion to the Body 2001, originally published by Oxford University Press 2001.acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter released from nerve endings (terminals) in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems. It is synthesized within the nerve terminal from choline, taken up from the tissue fluid into the nerve ending by a specialized transport mechanism. The enzyme necessary for this synthesis ( choline acetyltransferase) is formed in the nerve cell body and passes down the axon to its end, carried in the axoplasmic flow, the slow movement of intracellular substance ( cytoplasm ). Acetylcholine is stored in the nerve terminal, sequestered in small vesicles awaiting release. When a nerve action potential reaches and invades the nerve terminal, a shower of acetylcholine vesicles is released into the junction ( synapse) between the nerve terminal and the ‘effector’ cell which the nerve activates. This may be another nerve cell or a muscle or gland cell. Thus electrical signals are converted to chemical signals, allowing messages to be passed between nerve cells or between nerve cells and non-nerve cells. This process is termed ‘chemical neurotransmission’ and was first demonstrated, for nerves to the heart, by the German pharmacologist Loewi in 1921. Chemical transmission involving acetylcholine is known as ‘cholinergic’. Acetylcholine acts as a transmitter between motor nerves and the fibres of skeletal muscle at all neuromuscular junctions."

These receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are activated by the agonists acetylcholine and muscarine, and blocked by a variety of antagonists. Mammals have five m ACh Rs (m1–m5). In this study, we cloned two structurally related GPCRs from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, which, after expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells, proved to be muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. One m ACh R (the A-type; encoded by gene CG4356) is activated by acetylcholine (EC 50, 5 × 10 −8 M) and muscarine (EC 50, 6 × 10 −8 M) and blocked by the classical m ACh R antagonists atropine, scopolamine, and 3-quinuclidinyl-benzilate (QNB), while the other (the B-type; encoded by gene CG7918) is also activated by acetylcholine, but has a 1,000-fold lower sensitivity to muscarine, and is not blocked by the antagonists. A- and B-type m ACh Rs were also cloned and functionally characterized from the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Recently, Haga et al. ( Nature 2012, 482: 547–551) published the crystal structure of the human m2 m ACh R, revealing 14 amino acid residues forming the binding pocket for QNB. These residues are identical between the human m2 and the D. melanogaster and T. castaneum A-type m ACh Rs, while many of them are different between the human m2 and the B-type receptors."

Estrogen and Progesterone It is well established that lower urinary tract innervation, receptor density and distribution, and contractile function may change significantly during periods of marked changes in female hormone levels, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause ( Andersson, 1993 ). The lower urinary tract in animals and humans has been shown to express estrogen receptors ( Blakeman et al., 2000; Nilsson et al., 2001 ). However, in human bladders, estrogen receptors were found only in squamous epithelia (trigone, proximal and distal urethra). No estrogen receptors were found in transitional urothelium or detrusor muscle, and there was no variation with estrogen status ( Blakeman et al., 2000 ). In the urethra, the expression is greater but still inconsistent ( Blakeman et al., 2000 )."

"text": "\"Difference Between Muscarinic and Nicotinic Receptors Posted on May 23, 2013 by admin Last updated on: May 23, 2013Muscarinic vs Nicotinic Receptors In many animal forms, may it be insects or mammals, a nervous system is present. The reason for such occurrence is to maintain connectivity among various types of tissues and also to response to external stimuli accordingly. A nervous system is built up of nerve cells, nerves, ganglia and many other substituents. Taking in certain messages from inside or outside the body is done by receptors; a sensitive end which excites nerve cells to carry the message and function accordingly. Among many of those receptors, we find Muscarinic receptors and nicotinic receptors. Both these receptors have one thing in common which is the fact that both of them act as Acetylcholine receptors. Depending on the functional mechanism certain differences could be found between the two receptors. Both these receptors are very important as they could be manipulated in drug delivery, acting as selective antagonists and agonists. Muscarinic Receptor Muscarinic receptors commonly noted as m ACh Rs is a type of acetylcholine receptor. As the name implies, muscarinic receptors are also sensitive to the presence of muscarine."

"text": "\"Introduction Otto Loewi studied the heart of the frog, which-like our own hearts- is supplied by two different peripheral nerves. One, the sympathetic nerve, excites the heart and makes it beat more rapidly; the other , the vagus, shows the heart. The problem was to discover the mechanism by which the effects of nerve impulses in either of these nerves are communicated to the heart muscle. Many believed that the electrical nerve impulse spread from the nerve to the muscle as an electrical wave; Loewi thought otherwise. Loewi tested two isolated frog hearts, one with the sympathetic and vagus nerves intact, the other with the nerves removed. A small tube containing salt water was placed in the heart with the nerves attached. When he stimulated the vagus nerve, the heartbeat slowed, as expected. Then he took salt solution that had been in the stimulated heart and placed it inside the heart without nerves. It too immediately slowed- exactly as if its own (missing) vagus nerve had been stimulated. He repeated the same procedure, stimulating the sympathetic nerve instead."

It is also the neurotransmitter in all autonomic ganglia. Function Acetylcholine has functions both in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and in the central nervous system (CNS) as a neuromodulator. In the PNS, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system. In the CNS, acetylcholine and the associated neurons form a neurotransmitter system, the cholinergic system, which tends to cause excitatory actions. In Peripheral Nervous System In the peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system. When acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle fibers, it opens ligand gated sodium channels in the cell membrane. Sodium ions then enter the muscle cell, stimulating muscle contraction."

Although very symptomatic it does not endanger vision, and topical antihistamines or chromones are the first choice treatment in clinical practice. Recently, equivalent nanomolar affinities for histamine H 1 and muscarinic M 1 and M 3 cloned human receptors have been reported for desloratadine, the active metabolite of loratadine, a widely prescribed antihistamine. This property might enhance its utility in the treatment of asthma, but could induce adverse anticholinergic effects after topical administration. In the present study, we compare the anticholinergic activity of desloratadine with other known muscarinic antagonists and antihistamines on rabbit and guinea-pig iris smooth muscle. Desloratadine was found to be a competitive antagonist (p A 2 =6.67±0.09) of carbachol-induced contractions in isolated rabbit iris smooth muscle. Atropine (p A 2 =9.44±0.02) and NPC-14695 (p A 2 =9.18±0.03) also behaved as competitive antagonists, whereas tiotropium bromide (p D 2 ′=9.06±0.02) exhibited a non-competitive behaviour in this tissue. Carebastine (p A 2 =5.64±0.04) and fexofenadine (p A 2 <4.0) were also studied. After topical administration on the guinea-pig eye conjunctiva, desloratadine produced a potent (ED 50 =2.3 mg/ml) and long lasting mydriasis (>120 min at the ED 50) in conscious animals. Fexofenadine and carebastine were inactive even at the highest concentration tested (10 mg/ml)."

The five closely related receptor subtypes (M1–M5) are members of the class A (rhodopsin-like) superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. These receptors possess seven membrane-spanning domains and specific sites for glycosylation, phosphorylation, lipid modification, and interaction with heterotrimeric transducer G-proteins. M1, M3, and M5 receptors are efficiently coupled through G q/11 proteins to phospholipase C β, producing the second messengers diacylglycerol and inositol triphosphate. M2 and M4 receptors inhibit adenylate cyclase through actions involving G i. Our understanding of muscarinic systems has advanced by analysis of receptor gene knockouts. Author Keywords Acetylcholine; Adenylate cyclase; Allosteric receptor regulation; Atropine; Cholinergic; G-protein-coupled receptor; Muscarinic receptor; Parasympathetic nervous system;Phospholipase C; Signal transduction; Synaptic transmission Introduction Muscarinic receptors recognize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, translating this recognition into electrical transients and altered cell behavior by activating and suppressing an assortment of signaling pathways. Muscarinic receptors comprise one of the two classes of receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, with nicotinic receptors comprising the other class. Muscarinic receptors are selectively activated by the alkaloid muscarine from the mushroom Amanita muscaria and are blocked by belladonna alkaloids, such as atropine and scopolamine ( Figure 1 ). Muscarinic receptors are involved in the transduction of cholinergic signals in the central nervous system, autonomic ganglia, smooth muscles, and other parasympathetic end organs. Figure 1."

"text": "What Blocks Acetylcholine in the Muscles?by STEPHANIE CHANDLER June 13, 2017Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter – a chemical in the brain that helps transmit electrical impulses generated by nerves. Acetylcholine plays a vital role in the peripheral nervous system by activating muscle cells. It also plays a role in the central nervous system by enhancing sensory perceptions and increasing attention. Substances that block acetylcholine in the muscles inhibit muscle contraction and function. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Atropine Doctors classify the medication atropine as a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Your body contains two different types of acetylcholine receptors--muscarinic receptors and nicotinic receptors. The heart, lungs, upper digestive tract and sweat glands contain muscarinic receptors. The vagus nerve within the heart muscle releases acetylcholine, which binds to the muscarinic receptors on the areas of the heart known as the nodes, which is responsible for coordinating the electrical impulses that induce heart rate. By blocking muscarinic receptors, atropine increases heart rate to help your heart muscle cells maintain a normal sinus rhythm, according to Cardiovascular Pharmacology Concepts. Anticholinergic Medications Medications that block the effects of acetylcholine on muscles are called anticholinergic medications."

[ 1] [2] [3]A number of muscarinic agonists have been developed and are under investigation to treat AD. These agents show promise as they are neurotrophic, decrease amyloid depositions, and improve damage due to oxidative stress. Tau -phosphorylation is decreased and cholinergic function enhanced.

Natural killer cells or NK cells are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. The role NK cells play is analogous to that of cytotoxic T cells in the vertebrate adaptive immune response. NK cells provide rapid responses to viral-infected cells, acting at around 3 days after infection, and respond to tumor formation. Typically, immune cells detect major histocompatibility complex (MHC) presented on infected cell surfaces, triggering cytokine release, causing lysis or apoptosis. NK cells are unique, however, as they have the ability to recognize stressed cells in the absence of antibodies and MHC, allowing for a much faster immune reaction. They were named \"\"natural killers\"\" because of the initial notion that they do not require activation to kill cells that are missing \"\"self\"\" markers of MHC class 1. [ 1] This role is especially important because harmful cells that are missing MHC I markers cannot be detected and destroyed by other immune cells, such as T lymphocyte cells. NK cells (belonging to the group of innate lymphoid cells) are defined as large granular lymphocytes (LGL) and constitute the third kind of cells differentiated from the common lymphoid progenitor -generating B and T lymphocytes.

"text": "\"Natural killer cells: innate or adaptive immunity? or both? Print Bookmark Share Elana Ehrlich, Technical and Marketing Writer QIAGEN, Frederick, MD, USAMain Image Navi The response to a breach of security by an invading organism or immunogen is coordinated by the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Recently, the line between the innate and adaptive arms of the immune response has become blurred. Natural Killer (NK) cells were previously thought to be a part of the innate immune response. Mounting evidence of memory in NK cells suggests that these cells may possess characteristics previously thought to be in the domain of the adaptive immune system (see figure Innate and adaptive immunity ). Further characterization of the pathways involved in generation of memory NK cells by real-time PCR will further our understanding of the role of these cells in adaptive immunity. Highlights NK cells persist upto 2 months after primary exposure to antigen Secondary exposure to antigen results in higher levels of IFN gamma secretion Memory-like NK cells described in response to murine CMV, herpesvirus, HIV-1, poxvirus, and influenza Introduction Adaptive and innate immunity NK cells: innate, adaptive, or both? Future questions References Back to top Introduction The innate and adaptive immune responses are distinct arms of the immune system that can be categorized based on the ability to learn from a primary exposure. Upon secondary exposure to a pathogen, the cells of the adaptive immune response will exert their effector function in a more rapid, robust way."

In the new WHO classification of hematolymphoid tumors, three categories of NK cell neoplasms are recognized: - extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma ,- aggressive NK cell leukemia, and- blastic NK cell lymphoma. Blastic NK cell lymphoma is morphologically and immunologically different from the first two categories, lacks EBV association, and there is little compelling evidence that it truly represents an NK cell neoplasm. In fact, recent studies suggest that this may be a neoplasm of probable precursor dendritic cells related to plasmacytoid monocytes (plasmacytoid dendritic cells). Since its lineage is still uncertain, this entity will not be discussed. Phenotype / cell stem origin NK cell represents a distinctive lineage of lymphocyte that is closely related to T cell. It shows many immunophenotypic and functional similarities with cytotoxic T lymphocyte, but differs in the lack of expression of surface CD3 molecule and T-cell receptor, and the absence of rearranged T-cell receptor genes. It characteristically expresses CD56 (neuronal cell adhesion molecule, N-CAM), which is also expressed in some cytotoxic T lymphocytes. NK cells can lyse target cells without prior sensitization (spontaneous antibody-independent MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity) via the NK receptors. Etiology The exact etiology is unknown, but a very strong association with Epstein Barr virus (EBV) has been demonstrated."

Adaptive immunity to a particular antigen develops only after exposure to that antigen. \"\" On first exposure to a given microbe or any other antigen, systemic evidence of the adaptive immune response takes a week or more to develop; during this delay the host depends on the protection provided by innate immunity, which may not be sufficient to prevent disease.\"\" A week or so after the initial exposure to an antigen the mechanisms of the adaptive immune response have developed enough to help the body deal with the antigen. Adaptive immune responses help the person stop an infection. Certain cells (memory cells) that develop during the initial (primary) adaptive immune response remain in the body. If that particular antigen again enters the body memory cells can quickly initiate an adaptive immune response against that particular antigen."

Your immune system and white blood cells work together to fight infections. White blood cells are produced in our bone marrow. A normal white blood cell count is somewhere in the area of 5,000 to 10,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood. Persons with less than 3,500 are considered to a low count, also called neutropenia. Numbers of less than 1,000 are considered to be dangerously low and an indicator that the person is at great risk of developing an infection of some kind. You can naturally increase your white blood cell count, which in turn improves your overall immune system, by making sure you consume sufficient amounts of the following 10 foods and/or vitamins and minerals.

Immunity is also called disease resistance. The lack of immunity is known as susceptibility. ADVERTISEMENTS: The science dealing with the various phenomena of immunity, induced sensitivity and allergy is called immunology. Types of Immunity: There are two major types of immunity: innate or natural or nonspecific and acquired or adaptive. ( A) Innate or Natural or Nonspecific Immunity (L. innatus = inborn): Innate immunity is inherited by the organism from the parents and protects it from birth throughout life. For example humans have innate immunity against distemper, a fatal disease of dogs. As its name nonspecific suggests that it lacks specific responses to specific invaders. Innate immunity or nonspecific immunity is well done by providing different barriers to the entry of the foreign agents into our body."

There are seven cervical or neck vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and five lumbar vertebrae. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, and there are two coccygeal vertebrae which are sometimes fused (fig. 1). In the normal adult there are four curvatures in the vertebral column in an anteroposterior plane. These serve to align the head with a vertical line through the pelvis (fig. 2). In the thoracic and sacral regions, these curves are oriented concave anterior and each is known as a kyphosis .

"text": "Lordosis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Exercises Overview The term lordosis means inward curving of a part of the lumber and cervical vertebral column. Excessive lordosis is termed as swayback or saddle back. There are three types of curves which can be present in the human spine 1,2: Scoliotic curves- sideways curvature of the spine; it is always abnormal Lordotic curves- inward curve of the lumbar spine just above the buttocks Kyphotic curves- outward curve of the thoracic spine at the level of ribs A small degree of lordosis and kyphoysis is normally present in the spine. If kyphoysis is too much, it causes round shoulders and is termed as Scheuermann’disease. If lordotic curving is too much, it is termed as swayback or lordosis that makes the buttocks more prominent. Children suffering from too much lordosis will have a space beneath their lower back when lying on their back on a hard surface. When lordotic curve is flexible, it is generally not a concern. When the curve does not move, medical evaluation is needed. Lumber and cervical segments of the vertebral column are normally lordotic (convexity anteriorly and concavity posteriorly). Anterior pelvic tilt is a major factor of lordosis."

It consists of a sequence of vertebrae (singular = vertebra), each of which is separated and united by an intervertebral disc.

It also protects the spinal cord, which passes down the back through openings in the vertebrae. Vertebral Column The adult vertebral column consists of 24 vertebrae, plus the sacrum and coccyx. The vertebrae are divided into three regions: cervical C1–C7 vertebrae, thoracic T1–T12 vertebrae, and lumbar L1–L5 vertebrae. The vertebral column is curved, with two primary curvatures (thoracic and sacrococcygeal curves) and two secondary curvatures (cervical and lumbar curves). Regions of the Vertebral Column The vertebral column originally develops as a series of 33 vertebrae, but this number is eventually reduced to 24 vertebrae, plus the sacrum and coccyx. The vertebral column is subdivided into five regions, with the vertebrae in each area named for that region and numbered in descending order."

Description The upper back bone (thoracic region), is normally curved forward. If the curve exceeds 50° it is considered abnormal (kyphotic). Causes and symptoms Kyphosis can be divided into three ages of acquisition—birth, old age, and the time in between. Spinal birth defects can result in a fixed, exaggerated curve. Vertebrae can be fusedtogether, shaped wrong, extraneous, or partially missing. Congenital and hereditary defects in bone growth weaken bone and result in exaggerated curves wherever gravity or muscles pull on them. Dwarfism is such a defect.

"text": "Congenital Scoliosis - Segmentation defects Download What is ”congenital scoliosis”? Congenital scoliosis is a spinal deformity with lateral deviation and rotation of the spinal column, where congenital dysfunctions in embryonal vertebra development cause one or more malformed vertebrae. The vertebrae are incompletely formed, leading to asymmetrical spinal column growth. Congenitally anomalous vertebrae may occur in any part of the spine. Normal spinal growth is disrupted by such formation defects, segmentation defects or combined forms of vertebral anomalies. As the spine continues to develop, this may lead to the developmentof scoliosis. Congenital scolioses are rare, but they may require early surgery due to the severity of the spinal deformity involved. How are the vertebra formed in embryonal development? Weeks 4 to 8 of a pregnancy are called the embryonal period, during which the organs develop out of the three germ layers (organogenesis). The three germ layers are: The outer germ layer (ectoderm) out of which the spinal cord, nervous system, brain, skin, and hair develop."

Many clinical specialists act in a primary care provider capacity, being the one to examine, diagnose, and prescribe a course of action for their patients. A clinical specialist may work closely with patients or be required to take on more of a managerial and planning role. For example, developing and implementing a new patient treatment center or program would be within the scope of this profession. They may also act as teachers for incoming nurses aspiring to become clinical specialists. A clinical specialist is an advanced practice nurse. Also called a clinical nurse specialist (CNS), a person holding this position has expertise in select types of diseases or particular areas of medicine. In addition to their role as a nurse, they usually perform or assist with managerial duties, training seminars, and research related within their medical areas of focus. A clinical specialist is required to hold a registered nursing ( RN) degree and usually a master’s level degree in nursing as well.

That is, until nurse Diane Aschenbrenner decides to give Harvey a heart attack. And then a heart murmur. And then a wallop of cardiomyopathy. Now it’s clear to anyone with a stethoscope and a good ear that Harvey is a mess. Aschenbrenner isn’t a sadist or an incompetent nurse (far from it), nor is Harvey in any danger at all. For Aschenbrenner, MS, RN, is the Director of the rapidly expanding Simulation Lab at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, and Harvey is her latest mechanical marvel, a $60,000 teaching tool that, at a touch of computer console input, can mimic the sounds of 30 cardiac disease states. “ The heart sounds are really advanced, and really very, very true to life,” says Aschenbrenner, the appreciation and excitement in her voice impossible to miss.

Satisfaction with hospital care is a topic of much interest, and many hospitals use some instrument to measure patients’ satisfaction. Public reporting of measures of patients’ perspectives of care are now available on the Internet. 1 Press Ganey Associates, Inc, 2 a leading vendor of tools to measure patients’ satisfaction, includes the item “skill of the nurses” on a questionnaire mailed to patients after discharge from the hospital. Although much information is available on patients’ satisfaction and perceptions of quality of care, and some information is available on patients’ perceptions of physicians’ skills, little information is available on patients’ perceptions of nurses’ skills. Skill is defined as “the ability to use one’s knowledge . . ."

Engaging the Hearts and Minds of Nurses with a Patient-Centered Practice Model^ m d Deborah C. Small, RN, MSN, NE-BCRobert M. Small, MBAAbstract Like every healthcare system today, the Cleveland Clinic health system is a combination of medical hospitals, institutes, and services in which the implementation of uniform care methodologies faces significant barriers. The guiding principle of the Cleveland Clinic, ‘Patients First,’ focuses on the principle of patient- and family-centered care (PFCC) but deliberately lacks details due to the wide scope of care delivered by the organization. The Stanley Shalom Zielony Institute of Nursing Excellence (the Nursing Institute) at the Cleveland Clinic was charged with standardizing nursing practice across a system with 11,000 registered nurses and 800 advanced practice nurses. The challenge involved providing firm direction on delivering PFCC that was appropriate for all clinical disciplines and could be implemented quickly across existing practices and technologies. Successful implementation required full engagement in the concept of PFCC by what the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has termed the ‘hearts and minds’ of nurses. To achieve these ends, development of a systemwide nursing practice model was initiated. In this article the authors identify the essence of PFCC, consider barriers to PFCC, review their process of developing PFCC, and describe how the Cleveland Clinic health system has implemented a PFCC nursing practice model. In doing so the authors explore how the concept of ‘Passion for Nursing’ was used to stimulate nurse engagement in PFCC. Citation: Small, D., Small, R., (May 31, 2011) \"\"Patients First!"

They have slender bodies and round heads with pointed ears. They vary between 1.5-2.7 m (5-9 ft.) from head to tail.

Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although daytime sightings do occur. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae, [1] [8] [9] of which only the jaguar is native to the Americas.

But conflicts with humans are on the rise, putting their fate in jeopardy Noah Sudarsky , Earth Island Journal03.09.2014 • 2:00 PM • 20 Comments This originally appeared on Earth Island Journal. The big cat was a mystery. No one knew where the animal came from, or whether it was even real. It was the spring of 2011, and wildlife officials in Connecticut had started receiving reports of a mountain lion prowling the tamed landscapes of the state’s suburban woodlots. The accounts seemed hard to believe – it had been 120 years since the last cougar was killed in Connecticut, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service had just declared the Eastern cougar to be extinct. But the sightings kept coming. Officials at a private school in Greenwich, a scant half-hour drive from Manhattan, reported spotting a lion near the school grounds. A nearby homeowner called in a similar report, and a paramedic team said a cougar had leapt in front of their ambulance. When officials went to investigate, they found lion scat and paw prints, confirming, to their great surprise, that a big cat was, in fact, roaming the Constitution State."

"text": "\"MAC COMO ZOOCougar Scientific Name: Puma concolor Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Distribution: Other than humans, cougars are the most widely distributed land mammals in the Western Hemisphere . Historically the cougar ranged throughout the Western hemisphere from northern British Columbia to Patagonia and from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. The distribution of the cougar shrunk drastically after European settlement due to a pioonering antipredator attitude and their discovery that the cougar was fairly easy prey to capture with traps, and especially with hunting dogs. As a result this large predator remains common only in the west in North America today and in the Florida Everglades. The cougars northern limit is the Yukon border at 60° N, extending south to Patagonia, Argentina. It also lives at many altitudes, from sea level to 4500 m, and in many climatic ranges, from dry deserts to deep, wet lowland tropical rainforests. Habitat: The cougar has a wide tolerance for many different habitats like other large cats. And considering their wide distribution, they don’t reside in one particular habitat. They do however, make frequent use of caves as dens and show some preference for wooded terrain. Description: The animal is identified by its large size and slender cat-like appearance."

"text": "Puma concolor Cougars once ranged across most of North America, and from southern Argentina and Chile to southeastern Alaska. Though they have disappeared from most of the east coast of the United States, they still have the greatest natural distribution of any native terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere. Cougars need areas with shelter and enough prey to live on. With those needs in mind, they can live in mountain forests, tropical forests, grass¬lands or swamps. They go by many names, including mountain lion, puma, catamount, screamer and panther. The life of a cougar Cougars are agile and powerfully built. Their long bodies and unusually long hind legs allow them to hunt in high speed bursts and jump up to 20 feet in one bound. As they run, they use their long tails to steer. Cougars usually hunt at dawn and dusk. A hunting cougar will quietly stalk its prey, then leap onto its back and break its neck by biting it below the base of the skull."

"text": "\"Difference Between Puma and Cougar Posted on December 8, 2011 by Naveen Puma vs Cougar Primarily cougar and puma are the names to indicate the same animal, but it could be confusing, in the usage. The main reason for that is the common reference for this animal species varies from place to place. Therefore, a proper understanding is vital about these names and the differences between cougar and puma. This article discusses the characteristics of cougar in summary and attempts to mention the differences from puma. Cougar Cougar, Puma Concolor, is a native wildcat to Americas and live in mountains more often than not. There are six subspecies varying according to the geographical ranges, and South America has five of those. Cougars are the fourth largest feline, and they are agile with a slender body. An average adult male is about 75 centimetres tall and measures about 2.75 metres between nose and the base of the tail. Their whole weight body could range between 50 and 100 kilograms. A size analysis with the latitude suggests that cougars are larger towards the temperate regions and smaller towards the equator."

Mandatory Credit: James Snook-USA TODAY Sports UCLA Bruins Football UCLA Football 2015 Schedule Preview: Washington State Cougarsby Mike Regalado 2 years ago Follow @The Big Disco Tweet Share x Comment The UCLA Football team plays their last home game of the season against the Washington State Cougars, a team they have not faced since 2012, which makes this a very intriguing match-up. If all goes right, this last home game of the season may not be the last time UCLA Football plays at the Rose Bowl for the season. Not too look too far ahead, but with this being one of the last games of the season, postseason talk will mostly likely have started and the Bruins are gunning for the Pac-12 and/or the Rose Bowl Game. RELATED: UCLA Football 2015 Schedule Preview – Oregon State This will be an important game that UCLA cannot look past (because the following games are on the road at Utah and at USC) so the Bruins must play this game against Washington State as if it is their last. Though the Cougars have been unable to climb out of the Pac-12 North cellar, that does not mean they will not go down swinging. The Washington State Cougars Head Coach: Mike Leach, 4th year2014 Record: 3-9 overall, 2-7 Pac-12So it has been three years and Washington State has not been able crack the top four of the North Division. That does not mean Washington State has not been making improvements. In fact, they have had one of the most potent passing offenses in the nation under head coach Mike Leach. In 2014, the Cougars lead the nation in passing yards with 5,732, almost one thousand more yards than the second best passing teaming the NCAA."

Cougars can be found mainly in the mountain regions of Canada and Mexico, but as the name cougar is often used to describe an un-spotted leopard, cougars are also found in Asia and Africa. The cougar is the fourth biggest feline in the world behind the lion, tiger and jaguar, making the cougar the second largest cat in the Americas. The cougar has longer back than front legs and a long heavy body. Cougars prey on large mammals such as moose, deer, elk and stray wolves and can often go for long periods of time without food. Cougars are also well known for their amazing ability to jump up to 30ft. Cougars tend to have between 1 and 4 cubs, generally during the spring and summer time when the adult cougars are hunting well again after the harsh winters. A cougar typically lives until its about 20 years old. Due to the cougars vast range, the cougar is known in different places by different names. Until the late 1990s there were thought to be 32 different species of cougar inhabiting both North and South America."

"text": "Understanding How Sasquatch May Eat Editor’s Note: This is a post by Bigfoot Evidence contributor, Damian Bravo, a Sasquatch believer. You can join Damian's group Sasquatch Lives? on Facebook and the group's official page at www.sasquatchlives.com. We have all heard that Sasquatch loves bacon and pancakes and even the Finding the Big Guy team on television placed donuts to bring them in. They said Sasquatch loves sweets like Twinkies and tried to lure him in, which in the end did not work. Now, let’s look at this from the outlook of what a massive being of this size, which many say range from 6 to 10 feet, would need to survive in the wilderness of North America. How would Sasquatch make it through long winters with hardly any food to hunt for during this time? Some even believe that Sasquatch is an opportunistic apex predator who hunts but will also grab kills from other animals if need be. Sasquatch has also been said to have similar hunting patterns as grizzly bears with a very versatile diet ranging from fish to aquatic plants. Although they are considered carnivores and their digestive system reflect this; they are more omnivores because of the variety in their daily food intake."

The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.

"text": "Bigfoot Facts for Kids Bigfoot Facts for Kids Bigfoot is usually a tall, hairy, ape-like biped being that likes to reside away from folks in wooded regions or mountains. There have already been Bigfoot sightings for hundreds of years. But, in 1967, two males named Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin captured a girl Bigfoot on video and progressively more men and women have had sightings of their own. Why Do They Call Him Bigfoot? The name Bigfoot came from a bulldozer operator named Jerry Crew in 1958. When he identified a big footprint on his building site, he known as it, “the tracks of old Bigfoot.” Other Names for Bigfoot Sasquatch will be the name Native Americans gave Bigfoot and it truly is what they call Bigfoot in Canada. In other countries like Nepal and Tibet, they call him Yeti or The Abominable Snowman. The names are various but they are the identical sort of creature. Exactly where Has Bigfoot Been Witnessed?"

Lenz Photography / Getty Imagesby Stephen Wagner Updated September 08, 2017There are creatures that lurk out there in the dark, that haunt the isolated forests of the world, that hide in the icy depths of the deepest lakes. They appear unexpectedly and inexplicably, then vanish just as mysteriously, usually leaving witnesses dumbfounded, frightened and, unfortunately in most cases, without a shred of evidence. Yet the eyewitness stories of these creatures persist, haunting the darkness as well as our imaginations. Here, for your consideration (and in no particular order) are the top 10 most mysterious, unexplained creatures of all time. Some are more likely to really exist than others, but we'll leave that judgment up to you.1. Bigfoot / Sasquatch / Yeti These hairy ape-men are probably the most witnessed unknown creatures in the world. Whether they are called Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape or Yowie, they have been seen in isolated woodlands and mountain areas in virtually every corner of the globe. And the descriptions - from the North American northwest to Florida to Australia - are remarkably consistent: Taller than an average man (seven to eight feet)Covered with long brown or auburn hair (or white hair in the case of the Yeti)A strong, repugnant odor Large feet, as evidenced by castings of footprints An aversion to man A piercing, eerie howl The vast number of sightings, many by highly reliable witnesses, gives Bigfoot the best likelihood of being a real creature as yet unknown to science. We may find out someday soon. Sightings seem to be on the rise as mankind encroaches deeper and deeper on the wilderness."

Does Bigfoot really exist? It seems a lot of people think so, and many have their own theories on what he is and where he comes from. Hard-working Bigfoot research organizations are trekking through the woods of North America and the rest of the world as you read this, trying to get to the bottom of the mystery. As of yet the big guy hasn’t given up his secrets. Since no Bigfoot has been willing to come forward, and nobody has ever captured one, how do we really know anything at all about this monstrous man-ape? Sure there’s evidence: photographs and videos, plaster footprint casts, and a few hair samples, but nothing definitive. Most of our knowledge comes from first-hand reports."

Dr. Melba Ketchum, who has led the group of researchers called the Sasquatch Genome Project, has been working on a $500,000 analysis of DNA samples from an unknown hominin species. Ketchum calls the project \"\"a serious study\"\" that concludes the legendary Sasquatch exists in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago. \"\" They're a type of people, they're a human-hybrid, we believe. And all of the DNA evidence points to that. And they can elude us, so if you get [footage] at all, it can be fleeting,\"\" Ketchum told ABC affiliate WFAA. Ketchum, who was initially a skeptic, says she implemented strict protocols as DNA was extracted from the collected samples. \"\" We soon discovered that certain hair samples - which we would later identify as purported Sasquatch samples - had unique morphology distinguishing them from typical human and animal samples,\"\" Ketchum said in February of the research. \"\""

Dillard G+ 2012-01-07 17:03Matt Moneymaker, star of Animal Planet's hit reality series Finding Bigfoot, discloses a close-up encounter with a sasquatch, and gives his opinion on whether or not the creatures are related to humans. Matt Moneymaker, star of Animal Planet’s hit reality show, Finding Bigfoot, revealed on the CBS Early Show that he has been within 15 feet of an actual bigfoot. The existence of bigfoot has been rumored for, at minimum, decades, but Moneymaker, president and founder of the Bigfoot Field Researcher Organization, claims he has seen one of the elusive creatures up-close. Moneymaker claims he saw the bigfoot at close range in 1994, saying that it actually approached the team. They were in eastern Ohio, he said, in an area much like Appalachian terrain. Unfortunately, there were no pictures taken, no video. “ We went in there to figure out where we were going to set up a surveillance camera,” he explained. “ The thing came up and approached us,” he said. More first-hand commentary from the 'Finding Bigfoot' team: 'Finding Bigfoot': Moneymaker, Holland speak out on sasquatch roundtable (VIDEO)Moneymaker also said that, although they have not captured a bigfoot on camera on Finding Bigfoot, one came within about 50 feet of the crew and cast one night, even throwing rocks in its approach. “ We’ll get them, no doubt,” he said confidently, referring to visuals of the animals on the show."

At least that’s what veterinarian Melba S. Ketchum claims after a five-year study of more than 100 DNA samples that she believes comes from the elusive hairy beast. Under Ketchum’s direction at DNA Diagnostics in Nacogdoches, Texas, a team of researchers has concluded that the creature may be a human relative that somehow developed around 15,000 years ago as a result of a hybrid cross between Homo sapiens with an unknown primate. Ketchum’s research has yet to stand the scrutiny of independent researchers. While many people have claimed to have seen the creature, its existence has never been confirmed, despite a plethora of photos and footprints. The ongoing search is the subject of Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot” television series. “Well, it came to me, I didn’t go after it, that’s for sure,” Ketchum said of the evidence of Bigfoot’s existence in an exclusive interview with The Huffington Post. “ I did not believe in these creatures. But my lab did a lot of animal testing, and we did species identification. We didn’t have any hits on anything interesting until five years ago."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration. [ 1] Proper acceleration, being the acceleration (or rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame, [2] is not the same as coordinate acceleration, being the acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s 2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s 2) will measure zero. Accelerometers have multiple applications in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are components of inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Accelerometers are used to detect and monitor vibration in rotating machinery. Accelerometers are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. Accelerometers are used in drones for flight stabilisation. Coordinated accelerometers can be used to measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space; i.e., gradient of the gravitational field."

"text": "\"Accelerometersby Chris Woodford. Last updated: June 8, 2017. W ant to know how fast your car's going? It's easy—just glance at the speedometer! Speed is a handy measurement that tells you how quickly you can get from one place to another. A car's top speed is generally a good indication of how powerful an engine it has, but assuming everyone stays within the speed limit, maximum speeds are just numbers on paper—little or no use to anyone. Acceleration is much more interesting than speed and more useful if you need to get out of danger behind the wheel: it's how quickly something can speed up or slow down. Measuring acceleration is a bit more tricky than measuring speed because it involves figuring out how speed changes over a period of time. How do you measure acceleration? Not surprisingly, with a device called an accelerometer."

"text": "\"A Guide To using IMU (Accelerometer and Gyroscope Devices) in Embedded Applications. Posted on December 29, 2009 by starlino Introduction There’s now a FRENCH translation of this article in PDF. Thanks to Daniel Le Guern!This guide is intended to everyone interested in inertial MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors, in particular Accelerometers and Gyroscopes as well as combination IMU devices ( Inertial Measurement Unit ). Example IMU unit: Acc_Gyro_6DOF on top of MCU processing unit Usb Thumb providing USB/Serial connectivity I'll try try to cover few basic but important topics in this article:– what does an accelerometer measure – what does a gyroscope (aka gyro) measure – how to convert analog-to-digital (ADC) readings that you get from these sensor to physical units (those would be g for accelerometer, deg/s for gyroscope) – how to combine accelerometer and gyroscope readings in order to obtain accurate information about the inclination of your device relative to the ground plane Throughout the article I will try to keep the math to the minimum. If you know what Sine/Cosine/Tangent are then you should be able to understand and use these ideas in your project no matter what platform you're using Arduino, Propeller, Basic Stamp, Atmel chips, Microchip PIC, etc. There are people out there who believe that you need complex math in order to make use of an IMU unit (complex FIR or IIR filters such as Kalman filters, Parks-Mc Clellan filters, etc). You can research all those and achieve wonderful but complex results. My way of explaining things require just basic math. I am a great believer in simplicity. I think a system that is simple is easier to control and monitor, besides many embedded devices do not have the power and resources to implement complex algorithms requiring matrix calculations."

"text": "Definitionaccelerometer Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com Contributor (s): Matthew Haughn An accelerometer is a device that measures changes in gravitational acceleration in a device it may be installed in. Accelerometers are used to measure acceleration, tilt and vibration in numerous devices. At rest, an accelerometer measures 1g: the earth’s gravitational pull, which registers 9.81 meters per second or 32.185 feet per second. Accelerometers that use the piezoelectric effect measure a small voltage change. Others measure capactitance between two components. To sense motion in multiple directions, an accelerometer must be designed with multi-axis sensors or multiple linear axis sensors. Three linear accelerometers are adequate to measure movement in three dimensions. Applications for accelerometers include: Monitoring devices in biology, engineering cars, industry, volcanology and more. Guidance devices in for telemetry in rocketry. Image orientation in smartphones."

The IMU housing actually contains two separate sensors. The first sensor is the accelerometer triad. It generates three analog signals describing the accelerations along each of its axes produced by, and acting on the vehicle. Due to thruster system and physical limitations, the most significant of these sensed accelerations is caused by gravity. The second sensor is the angular rate sensor triad. It also outputs three analog signals. These signals describe the vehicle angular rate about each of the sensor axes. Even though the IMU is not located at the vehicle center of mass, the angular rate measurements are not effected by linear or angular accelerations. The data from these sensors is collected by the IMU 6811 microprocessor through a 12 bit ADC board."

A dozen of processes definitely! A quadcopter requires a number of components in order to work smoothly and the flight controller is one of the most important in the list. The quadcopter flight controller is basically the point of contact between the device and the user. Whatever information you feed into the transmitter will be conveyed to the quadcopter by means of the flight controller. Basically, the flight controller is nothing but a circuit board that manages the functioning of the drone. If you want it to move in a certain direction, all you have to do is put in the controls and the circuit board will then manipulate the motors of the device likewise. It is basically the nervous system of the quadcopter. Also, because the controller comes with so many sensors, they can give us accurate information with respect to the position and other details of the copter in the air. The efficiency of a quadcopter is hugely dependent on the flight controller as it is the component that processes all the functions and the controls that manage the flight of the drone."

The calibration is no problem, but I need to convert the units my engineers gave me in vibration (m V/g) in to what my test equipment reads (mm/s). Does anyone know of a good vibration convertion calculator on the web, or know the conversion constant from mm/s to m V/g? Thanks, Bohica Hatch (Mechanical) 17 May 00 16:54It is not a straight conversion because frequency is in the equation. The general formulas are: Acceleration A = 2 pi f V (pi = 3.14, f = frequency V = velocity You have m V/g which is a transducer sensivity and need to convert to mm/s. which is velocity, but your sensivity is in acceleration. If your analysis instrument is a voltage measuring device the easiest way to calibrate it is to use a vibration calibrator (Bruel & Kjaer) which will give a direct 1g rms readout at a particular frequency which is easily converted to velocity since you have all the terms for the equation above. If you don't have a vibration calibrator, you have to input a known signal such as 1 V rms (sine wave) at say 160 Hertz to your instrument. Assuming that the transducer is accurate in producing say 100 m V/g do the following. Now 1 V rms = 1000 m V rms then transducer if it produces the same signal will be equal to 1000/100 = 10 g rms acceleration @ 160 Hertz."

"text": "\"Gyroscopes and Accelerometers on a Chip March 31, 2013 by Debra The interior of a 3-D MEMS Gyroscope Sensor is intricate and tiny (this structure is only about 0.08 cm wide). My last two blog entries discussed demonstrations of gyroscopes and angular momentum conservation at our school’s science fair. One of the demonstrations I put together takes a look at how really small gyroscopic sensors, such as those in many smart phones, video game remotes or quad-copters provide information about their changing orientations. This information can be used as feedback for self-balancing (e.g. a two-wheeled scooter), navigation or as input to other applications like video games. I didn’t want to sacrifice my smart phone for this experiment. Fortunately, chips containing gyroscopic sensors are relatively cheap. In reading up on gyroscopic chips, I found that orientation data from gyroscope sensors is prone to drift significantly over time, so gyroscopic sensors are frequently combined with additional sensors, such as accelerometers or magnetometers to correct for this effect. This combination of sensors is frequently referred to as an IMU, or “Inertial Measurement Unit”, and it is used in airplanes, spacecraft, GPS navigators (for use when GPS signals are unavailable) and other devices. The number of of sensor inputs in an IMU are referred to as “DOF” (Degrees of Freedom), so a chip with a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer would be a 6-DOF IMU. The GY-521 breakout board contains a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in the tiny MPU-6050 chip in the center."

The initial motion must be determined from other considerations in the test setup and added to the relative speed. The devices discussed in the Reference-Based section required a link of some type between the reference and the moving object. Seismic devices do not have this requirement. A seismic device refers to a transducer, which is based on a mass attached to the transducer base, usually with a linear spring. The base is attached to the surface whose motion is desired, and the motion of the seismic mass relative to the base is recorded with a motion transducer. The following figure shows the principal components of this transducer type. Use of the governing equation of motion for the seismic mass permits the determination of the motion of the base from the relative motion function.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an emerging field that provides information on demand about any significant change or damage occurring in a structure. It has been employed for many years in civil infrastructure in various forms, ranging from visual observation and assessment of structural condition, to technology-led approaches involving deployment of an array of sensors that can include accelerometers, inclinometers and strain measurement devices on site. These sensors can be deployed on a permanent basis or moved on and off site each time a fresh set of data is required. Conventional forms of inspection and monitoring are only as good as their ability to uncover potential issues in a timely manner. One of the major difficulties with SHM instruments for example, is managing the huge volumes of data that sensor arrays generate. Meanwhile, visual inspections and evaluations are insufficient for determining the structural adequacy of bridges or buildings. With many civil structures throughout the world in urgent need of strengthening, rehabilitation, or replacement, SHM has seen renewed focus. There have been major advances in communications, data transmission and computer processing, which have enabled SHM solutions providing the ability to acquire vast volumes of data in relatively short periods of time and transfer it via high-speed fibre-optic or wireless connections to a central database. Subsequent analysis and modelling of this data can provide critical intelligence for maintenance and management strategies, as well as improved design."

The Design Wins Since our good friends at i Fixit are located in Australia, they got their phones in before we did. On Thursday night we spent time with their team helping them identify some of the device wins we could seek out from the pictures they sent us. At first glance we’re seeing a lot of familiar components with the major standouts being the new A7 processor and two new MEMS devices. We are also seeing a new power management IC by Dialog Semiconductor and a new audio codec and class D amplifier by Cirrus Logic. Here are some of the components that were difficult to discern. The M7 Co-Processor The M7 is a new direction for Apple - in an effort to reduce power consumption, the M7 chip is dedicated to collecting and processing accelerometer, gyroscope and compass data.

Accelerometers Accelerometers are the most widely used vibration transducers for measuring vibrations on stationary machine elements. An accelerometer is a full-contact transducer mounted directly on a system or device under test (DUT). The benefits of an accelerometer include linearity over a wide frequency range and a large dynamic range. You can use most accelerometers in hazardous environments because of their rugged and reliable construction. You can use accelerometers in applications involving frequencies from a few hertz to tens of kilohertz. The following illustration shows the typical frequency response characteristics of an accelerometer. Because most accelerometers have a low dynamic signal response below 10 Hz, you cannot use accelerometers for low frequency measurements. The usable frequency range of an accelerometer is typically 15 Hz to 10 k Hz or above. You can use accelerometers to measure casing or machinery vibrations."

The geomagnetic field sensor and the proximity sensor are hardware-based. Most handset and tablet manufacturers include a geomagnetic field sensor. Likewise, handset manufacturers usually include a proximity sensor to determine when a handset is being held close to a user's face (for example, during a phone call). For determining a device's orientation, you can use the readings from the device's accelerometer and the geomagnetic field sensor. Note: The orientation sensor was deprecated in Android 2.2 (API level 8), and the orientation sensor type was deprecated in Android 4.4W (API level 20).

"text": "\"Related Articles Solar Tiles Vs. Solar Panels How Does a Solar Pump Work? Introduction to Solar Panels Federal Solar Energy Grants for Homeowners The use of solar radiation for energy is an ancient concept, but recent concerns about the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels have made solar energy a hot topic. Modern solar energy technologies harness the heat generated from the sun to power residential and industrial heating and cooling systems through the use of photovoltaic, or PV, panels. Also known as solar cells, these devices capture and convert solar power into electrical energy. How this energy is collected and distributed defines the difference between active and passive solar collectors. Passive Solar Design A passive solar system does not involve mechanical devices or the use of conventional energy sources beyond that needed to regulate dampers and other controls, if any. Classic examples of basic passive solar structures are greenhouses, sunrooms and solariums -- as the sun's rays pass through the glass windows, the interior absorbs and retains the heat. Modeling this concept in your home can cut heating costs by half compared to heating the same home by traditional means without the use of passive solar (see References 1). In terms of design, success of the passive solar system depends on orientation and the thermal mass of the structure's exterior walls, which means their ability to store and redistribute heat (see References 2)."

Although large amounts of solar energy are irradiated to the earth's surface, the effective energy concentration (energy/unit area) of solar energy at any one point on the earth's surface is small - only about 1 k W/m 2 at most, even at noon. Such low effective energy concentrations, limit the use of solar energy as a primary energy source, and elevate the costs associated with its accumulation and transmission. Technologies for the utilization of low-density energy sources must be developed in order to facilitate the use of solar energy. Solar energy conversions through the use of photosynthetic microorganisms do not incorporate the use of complex systems or large quantities of factory manufactured products, and indeed have relatively minimal investment and resource requirements."

These storms won't do much damage — but future solar storms could Fortunately, these solar storms aren't expected to be catastrophic — and anyone living in the northern US or Canada might be able to see some colorful auroras on Friday night ( see map below ). But it is a reminder that the sun's occasional eruptions are capable of wreaking havoc here on Earth. Space experts have long warned that if a truly massive solar storm ever hit us — much bigger than the current one — it could knock out power grids across North America, leaving millions of people without electricity for months and causing widespread chaos. A storm that big hit Earth back in 1859 (though there were no power grids then, just a bunch of telegraph wires that got frazzled), and we just barely missed getting blasted by a similar-sized solar eruption in 2012. These solar storms won't cause too much damage The recent solar eruptions are benign by comparison — though the fact that there were two of them arriving in such close proximity is unusual. On September 9 and 10 of this week, two solar flares erupted from an active sunspot region, with the second being a large X1-class flare."

He was claiming, after all, to have invented a machine that could clean the atmosphere of its excess carbon dioxide, making the gas into fuel or storing it underground. And the Columbia University scientist was aware that naming his two-year-old startup Global Thermostat hadn’t exactly been an exercise in humility. But the reception in the spring of 2009 had been even more dismissive than he had expected. First, he spoke to a special committee convened by the American Physical Society to review possible ways of reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through so-called air capture, which means, essentially, scrubbing it from the sky. They listened politely to his presentation but barely asked any questions. A few weeks later he spoke at the U. S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory in West Virginia to a similarly skeptical audience. Eisenberger explained that his lab’s research involves chemicals called amines that are already used to capture concentrated carbon dioxide emitted from fossil-fuel power plants."

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun that supports life on this planet. The amount of energy released by the sun is immense and we are using only a fraction of this energy. Why is solar energy more important today than ever before? At some point, the population of the planet will use up all the coal and oil that lay beneath the surface of the earth. More importantly, using the coal and oil and the by-products of those natural materials creates by-products that pollute our environment. From oil spills in the ocean to the scarred earth of strip mining, for generations we have damaged our global environment in our constant quest for more electrical power. Before asking why is solar energy important to us consider how much you rely on the light and heat of the sun in your own life every day. You can stand out of doors and feel the energy of the sun heating your skin."

Table 9 at the end of this section outlines different energy sources and the information relevant to the environmental impact of these sources. As described before, over 95% of the world's energy requirement is currently met by fossil fuels -- coal, oil, and natural gas. In various technologies, they release energy by the process of combustion. Major byproducts are carbon dioxide and various residuals such as fly ash. The environmental problems relating to fossil fuel use are described in detail in the Atmospheric System. Environmental pollution, especially air, global climate change, and resource depletion are the greatest drawbacks of heavy fossil fuel use. Another problem (particularly for the U.

Solar energy is abundant throughout many parts of the United States. In a single day, the amount of sunlight hitting the United States is more than 2,500 times the entire country's daily energy usage. From an energy security and sustainability perspective, it seems logical to make the most of solar power technologies. There are multiple technologies used to create electricity from solar energy. Many homes and businesses install photovoltaic panels, which absorb sunlight and use semiconductors to create usable energy. Larger complexes use panels, too, but others deploy concentrated solar power, which uses lenses or mirrors focused to a small area, where the tremendous heat is turned into electricity. Both technologies help the environment because they reduce the need to burn fossil fuels."

If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat. Liquid systems are more often used when storage is included, and are well suited for radiant heating systems, boilers with hot water radiators, and even absorption heat pumps and coolers. Both liquid and air systems can supplement forced air systems. Liquid-Based Active Solar Heating Solar liquid collectors are most appropriate for central heating. They are the same as those used in solar domestic water heating systems. Flat-plate collectors are the most common, but evacuated tube and concentrating collectors are also available. In the collector, a heat transfer or \"\"working\"\" fluid such as water, antifreeze (usually non-toxic propylene glycol), or other type of liquid absorbs the solar heat.

The accounting system keeps track of energy in, energy out, and non-useful energy versus work done, and transformations within the system. An energy balance diagram is used. Non-useful work is what is often responsible for environmental problems. Example: We wish to determine how much coal is needed to produce 1 k Wh of electricity.

The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei and the German mathematician Christoph Scheiner were among the first to make telescopic observations of sunspots. Scheiner’s drawings in the Rosa Ursina are of almost modern quality, and there was little improvement in solar imaging until 1905. In the 1670s the British astronomer John Flamsteed and the French astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini calculated the distance to the Sun.

The brachialis muscle is located on the front part of the upper arm, nearest the elbow. Along with the biceps brachii and the brachioradialis, it is one of the primary flexors of the elbow. It gets its name from the Greek words brachialis and brachion, pertaining to the (upper) arm. It is important not to confuse these words with the Greek brachy which means \"\"short.\"\" Although not as large as the biceps brachii, the brachialis is a relatively large and wide muscle and these two muscles, along with the coracobrachialis, make up the anterior (front) compartment of the upper arm. Unlike the biceps brachii, which attaches to the radius, the brachialis attaches to the ulna, making it suited for flexion of the elbow only, since it can only pull on the ulna and the ulna does not rotate. However, it provides strong elbow flexion in both supination and pronation. 1, 2See the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief.

Just to stand upright requires a continuous effort from these muscles, making them some of the most overworked muscles in the body. Where there is muscular overload there is trigger point activity, and the hamstrings are frequently a hotbed of both latent and active trigger points. These trigger points cause the obvious symptoms of back of the thigh and knee pain, but they also play a prominent, but less obvious, role in a whole range of musculoskeletal complaints. By creating postural distortions, the hamstring trigger points can contribute significantly to both low back pain and neck pain complaints. Understanding the true clinical impact that these trigger points can have throughout the body, is the first step a person can take on the road to becoming a phenomenal trigger point therapist. The Hamstring Muscle Group The hamstring muscle group lies on the back of the thigh and is composed of three muscles: the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus. In everyday activity, the hamstrings undergo an eccentric contraction to control the tendency of bodyweight to cause the trunk to flex forward on the pelvis. They also function to control the forward movement of the leg during walking. Muscle Structure & Attachments: The four components of the hamstring muscle group are detailed below: The semitendinosus muscle lies on the medial aspect of the posterior thigh."

When a muscle is traumatized from an injury or physical or emotional stress, the Trigger Points become 'hot' or active. The belly of the muscle forms an adhesion within the muscle fibers in response to the trauma and creates a 'knot.' On the cellular level, the exchange of oxygen, fresh blood and the waste removal slows down and lactic acid builds up, causing decreased circulation, inflammation and pain in the area. Because your Trigger Points are full of toxins they feel sore to the touch. Trigger Points in the injured area that are very sore to the touch are called 'hot spots' and Trigger Points that are less sore are called 'satellites.' We also have 'latent' Trigger Points, a point that is sore to the touch, but doesn't cause us any pain otherwise. If we experienced pain from every single Trigger Point that existed in our body, we'd be immobile. When a nerve is pinched or when a bone is out of place and hits a nerve, the muscles that the nerve (s) runs through will develop Trigger Points in response to the pain and will send a pain signal where there isn't necessarily an injury, causing referred pain. For example, if you have pain in your wrist, the muscles near your elbow have probably shortened, causing the tissues to pull and thus, you feel pain in the wrist and not at the elbow."

The muscles pass diagonally across the front and side of the neck beginning at the top of the sternum and ending behind the ear. This two-sided muscle is large and ropy, making it the most prominent muscle visible at the front of the neck. See the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. The muscle is made up of two branches: The medial or sternal branch, which is directed superiorly, laterally, and posteriorly and the lateral or clavicular branch which is directed almost vertically upward. The right side rotates the head to the left and flexes it to the right. The left side rotates the head to the right and flexes it to the left. 2 Both sides together flex the neck and head forward. The SCM is also an important accessory muscle of inspiration (respiratory inhalation) and is highly active during costal (high chest) breathing especially during rapid breathing [ 3 ] [ 4 ]. With habitually faulty forward head posture the SCM, along with the scalenes, may develop shortness."

You can have a genetic mutation that puts you at risk of being born with congenital long QT syndrome. In addition, certain medications, imbalances of the body's salts and minerals (electrolyte abnormalities), and medical conditions might cause acquired long QT syndrome. Long QT syndrome is treatable. You might need to take medications to prevent an erratic heart rhythm. In some cases, treatment for long QT syndrome involves surgery or an implantable device.

Whether it's our constant need to check email, the hours we spend surfing the Internet, or a quest to master a video game, staring at a computer monitor has become a part of everyday life for many of us. But if you're wondering why the days that you used to spend happily typing away at your keyboard have been replaced with bouts of unexplained headaches, you're not alone. Let's learn about ways in which your computer may be triggering your headache and the strategies you can undertake to alleviate or cope with these triggers. Eyestrain and Focusing as a Headache Trigger While you might think the act of focusing on a screen is a straightforward process, it's not as simple as it sounds. The distance between the front of a monitor and our eyes is called the working distance. Interestingly, our eyes actually want to relax at a point that's farther away from the screen. We call that location the resting point of accommodation (RPA). In order to see what's on the screen, the brain has to direct our eye muscles to constantly readjust focus between the RPA and the front of the screen. This \"\"struggle\"\" between where our eyes want to focus and where they should be focused can lead to eyestrain and eye fatigue, which can eventually trigger a headache."

When the content changes from color to orientation a different group of neurons have the same synchronous beta waves between two other regions. In this experiment it appears that synchronous waves are communicating information between two distinct brain regions with two different sets of neurons oscillating together at a specific frequency. The two major theories of how the brain generates the mind are the neuronal connections where electrical signals travel along axons triggering a chemical connection at another neuron’s dendrite ( see post Connectome) and electrical brain waves, which oscillate together at specific frequencies ( see post Brain Oscillations ). Both of these mechanisms occur simultaneously, so, perhaps they are complementary and perform different functions. Another theory of mind is that it consists of information, possibly in the form of electromagnetic energy, which would encompass all forms of electricity in the brain. Perhaps the neuronal synaptic connections are involved in computation by summing the inputs in the network of connections arriving at the dendrite. Perhaps the oscillating brain waves are binding together information from specific regions. Both utilize electricity in different ways. In fact, there are many different sources of electricity in the brain."

When a person experiences heart palpitations, it may be due to a number of triggers, such as medication, exercise, stress or, much less commonly, a medical condition that is underlying. Even though it is a worrisome experience to feel heart palpitations, it is usually a harmless occurrence since the heart is still effectively pumping blood. A person can usually prevent the heart palpitations from recurring by avoiding whatever the cause of the trigger is. In rare cases, experiencing heart palpitations may actually be a symptom of a heart condition that is much more serious, such as arrhythmia, which is an irregular heartbeat, and this may require treatment. Symptoms of Heart Palpitations The symptoms of heart palpitations generally feel like: Skipping a heartbeat;Fluttering heartbeats;A heartbeat that is going too quickly; or A heartbeat that is pumping harder than normal. Heart palpitations can be felt in the neck or in the throat, or they may also be felt in the chest. The feeling of heart palpitations may occur whether a person is at rest, active, and it can happen whether they are seated, laying down or standing. When to See a Doctor If the occurrence of heart palpitations is ultimate a concerning one, it is recommended to go see a doctor. He or she may wish to conduct tests to monitor the heart in order to determine whether or not the heart palpitations are due to a much more serious underlying heart problem."

If the scapula are fixed the muscles assist in cervical extension and if used alone flex the neck laterally to one side. See the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide to Pain Relief. The levator scapula are also involved with the muscles that stabilize the neck in flexion. Along with the semispinalis capitus, ceviscus, splenii and trapezi, the levator scapule has been described as a \"\"checkrein\"\" 2 against against flexion to keep the head from falling forward when bent downwards.

A variety of manual techniques are used during the physical therapy treatments to inactivate myofacial trigger points, and to restore normal muscle tones, muscle length, coordination, function and strength. All skeletal muscles anywhere in the body can be treated this way. What Is a Trigger Point? A myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot in a muscle which is located in a taut (tight) band and is painful to touch. This hypersensitive spot or nodule (the “knot”), can give characteristic referred pain, referred tenderness and other referred symptoms in areas other then where the muscle is located. ( Travel and Simons in Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual). Janet Travell, MD first described the existence of trigger points in the 1940’s. Treatment of Myofascial Trigger Points There are several ways to treat myofascial trigger points. Travell and Simons note that trigger points can be treated by ischemic compression, with spray and stretch, injection with local anesthetic (trigger point injections) and with dry needling."

Characteristics of Trigger Points Muscle is the largest organ in the human body, typically accounting for almost 50 percent of the body’s weight. There are approximately four hundred muscles in the human body (surprisingly, there are individual variations), and any one of them can develop trigger points, potentially causing referred pain and dysfunction. Symptoms can range from intolerable, agonizing pain to painless restriction of movement and distortion of posture. Knots, Tight Bands, and Tenderness in the Muscle Muscles consist of many muscle cells, or fibers, bundled together and surrounded by connective tissue. Each fiber contains numerous myofibrils.

The term is derived from the Japanese “mogusa” meaning herb (mugwort) and the Latin “bustion” meaning burning. There are various moxibustion techniques. Direct moxibustion: A small, cone-shaped amount of moxa is placed on top of an acupuncture point and burned on the skin. Direct moxibustion is a traditional technique considered to be very therapeutic. Much of the scientific study has been done on scarring direct moxibustion. The effectiveness of direct moxibustion particularly on immune function has been reported as early as 1927 by Dr. Shimetaro Hara, at the Kyushu University in Japan. Presently however, direct moxibustion is not performed routinely outside of Japan, as it may have some undesirable effects such as blistering, burn marks, and even scarring at the moxibustion site.

"text": "CUPPINGby Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph. D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which a cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cup. In some cases, the cup may be moved while the suction of skin is active, causing a regional pulling of the skin and muscle (the technique is called gliding cupping). This treatment has some relation to certain massage techniques, such as the rapid skin pinching along the back that is an important aspect of tuina (12). In that practice, the skin is pinched, sometimes at specific points (e.g., bladder meridian points), until a redness is generated. Cupping is applied by acupuncturists to certain acupuncture points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain (where the pain is deeper than the tissues to be pulled). When the cups are moved along the surface of the skin, the treatment is somewhat like guasha (literally, sand scraping), a folk remedy of southeast Asia which is often carried out by scraping the skin with a coin or other object with the intention of breaking up stagnation. Movement of the cups is a gentler technique than guasha , as a lubricant allows the cup to slide without causing as much of the subcutaneous bruising that is an objective of guasha. Still, a certain amount of bruising is expected both from fixed position cupping (especially at the site of the cup rim) and with movement of the cups. Traditional cupping, with use of heated cups, also has some similarity to moxibustion therapy."

"text": "\"Share this: Tweet Share on Tumblr More A newly published meta-analysis of studies looking at acupuncture for symptoms resulting from natural menopause (not drug or surgically induced) by Chiu et. al. is entirely negative. That is not what the authors or the press release conclude, however. This disconnect between the study results and the interpretation of those results is a persistent problem in medicine generally to some degree, but is endemic and profound within the CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) culture. Acupuncture in particular is promoted almost entirely based on this type of misinterpretations – the kind that can magically turn negative studies into positive studies. In the abstract the authors conclude: This meta-analysis confirms that acupuncture improves hot flash frequency and severity, menopause-related symptoms, and quality of life (in the vasomotor domain) in women experiencing natural menopause. Let’s take a close look at the results, however. Indeed, when comparing acupuncture to no treatment controls there was a significant decrease in subjective symptoms in the pooled data. Outcomes were hot flash frequency, hot flash severity, other menopausal symptoms, and quality of life."

Uses Benefits What to expect Risks Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. Research suggests that it can help relieve pain, and it is used for a wide range of other complaints. However, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), there is limited evidence for its effectiveness in areas other than pain. How acupuncture works scientifically remains unclear. Some people claim it works by balancing vital energy, while others believe it has a neurological effect. Acupuncture remains controversial among Western medical doctors and scientists. What is acupuncture? Acupuncture involves inserting needles at certain points of the body."

"text": "What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy as an integrated approach to the management of pain and inflammation and as a means of stimulating the body’s own healing chemicals in order to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. Acupuncture within physiotherapy is used against the background of clinical and research evidence. The concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine [TCM] is an ancient system of written scripts as far back as 1000BC, founded on the holistic concept of treatment and an acknowledgement of the body’s ability to return to its balanced state of health, given the correct stimulus to do so. There are many forces within the body that require balance in order to achieve health and fitness; two forces that are commonly referred to are YIN [negative] and YANG [positive]. Treatment with Acupuncture is undertaken with the aim or restoring all the body systems to a state of balance (homeostasis). This is achieved by an in depth physiotherapy assessment to determine the source of the imbalance and the correct acupuncture points required to address this imbalance and facilitate the body’s return to a state of health both physically and mentally. The body has the ability to “self repair; the use of Acupuncture, Acupressure or Electro-Acupuncture enhances the repair mechanism and enables an improved recovery time. This allows other physiotherapy treatments such as exercise, muscle strengthening and rehabilitation to achieve more effective results. The acupuncture needle will stimulate the flow of QI [pronounced ‘ chee’ ], which circulates in channels or meridians within the body. The QI circulates within the deeper organs of the body, but connects to the superficial skin."

It is based on scientific neurophysiological principles. IMS involves the insertion of fine acupuncture type needles into the body where muscles have shortened or contracted. It is problems at these points that are often at the root of long term pain. While a muscle is tight and contracted it can't heal properly-with IMS you are stimulating a healing process and helping the muscles to relax. IMS treatment is best suited to treat soft tissue pain that shows no obvious sign of ongoing tissue damage or inflammation, such as many forms of: neck/back pain, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder and fibromyalgia, amongst others."

Auricular acupuncture was first used in France in 1956 by Dr. Paul Nogier. He noticed that patients' backache was cured when they received a burn on the ear. Intrigued, he started mapping the ear, pinpointing the spots that correlate to various organs or systems in the body. Dr. Nogier pictured the ear as a curled up fetus with its head pointing downwards, and began treating his patients by applying pressure to the spot associated with each organ. For the study, the researchers compared the efficacy of acupuncture treatments in helping obese patients lose weight, comparing the standard Korean five point treatment with acupuncture using a single point of stimulation. They also included a control group who were given a \"\"sham\"\" treatment. In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 91 Koreans were recruited - 16 men and 75 women - all of whom had a body mass index ( BMI) equal to or greater than 23. None of the participants had received any other weight control treatments in the last 6 months.

"text": "Different Types of Acupuncture Treatment Different Types of Acupuncture Treatment When you normally think of acupuncture, you think of a person sitting with several needles inserted into their skin, into parts of the body like the ear, the arm, or the wrist. This is a good picture of a patient that is having an acupuncture treatment. These treatments last anywhere from a very short time up to thirty minutes or more, depending on the symptoms that are being treated. These needles are more frequently inserted just far enough into the skin to firmly keep them there, though an acupuncture practitioner may insert different needles somewhat further in depending on the treatment plan. Sometimes the needles are twirled in place, sometimes they are warmed before insertion, or have heat applied to them during insertion. Generally there is no discomfort when a needle is inserted, manipulated, or removed. Occasionally a slight twinge may be felt, but not more than that. Often during treatment a patient may feel more relaxed than when they came in, slightly warmer, or possibly feel a rush of energy during the treatment. Some patients feel no change during the acupuncture treatment, but their symptoms gradually change over a longer period of time, such as several weeks. There are variations of acupuncture that do not rely on the use of needles."

By Ming Qing Zhu, LAc, OMD (China) and Moyee Siu, LAc, MTCMThe World Health Organization estimates that 15 million individuals suffer from stroke annually worldwide, most of whom live in developed countries, where hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and cardiac diseases are prevalent. Stroke is the third leading cause of fatality and ranks highest as a cause of disability. 1Western medicine has made some advances in the treatment of strokes, including the use of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t PA) and intracranial angioplasty. However, these procedures are not indicated for or accessible to all stroke patients. Despite receiving t PA in the recommended window, 58% of patients still die or end up with severe disabilities. 2Typical post-stroke care in the USA starts with seven days of hospital stay followed by one to two weeks of physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy in a rehabilitation facility. After three or more weeks of outpatient rehabilitation, the treatment comes to an end, but the patient’s recovery is far from complete. In one study 3 on ischemic stroke survivors who were at least 65 years of age, the following disabilities were observed six months after stroke:50% had some hemiparesis30% were unable to walk without some assistance26% were dependent in activities of daily living19% had aphasia26% were institutionalized in a nursing home Obviously, there is a lot of room for improvement in standard stroke protocol.

It is based on a holistic concept of treatment which regards ill health or injury as a manifestation of imbalance in the body’s energy. Acupuncture Aims at correcting this imbalance or restoring the “Qi”. Acupuncture needles are inserted to remove blockages and allow smooth flow of energy, activating the body’s inherent healing processes to restore health and well-being. Physiotherapy and Acupuncture Acupuncture is one of the many skills employed by physiotherapists in the treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions. Physiotherapists base their treatment on scientific research and clinical evidence that acupuncture can reduce pain by stimulating the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, melatonin (which promotes sleep) and serotonin (to promote well-being). These chemicals assist the body’s healing processes and when applied in conjunction with other physiotherapy techniques such as manual therapy and exercise, enhances recovery, restores balance and improves the quality of life.

By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health. Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions.

February 11, 2008Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Finger acupuncture and acupuncture is a variation of traditional Chinese healing techniques of acupuncture. The main difference between acupuncture and acupressure is- in acupressure hand is used to activate the acupoints in the body and in acupuncture hand is replaced by needles to activate acupoints. Alternatively both the methods are centered in touching the meridians which carry energy to the organs of individual body. Acupoints: These are located in the palm/body, which are interlinked with the other organs of the body i.e. by activating a certain acupoint in the palm or a point on the finger, the organ related with that acupoint gets activated and the discomfort at that organ will be minimized. [ Acupuncture Points]If explained in medical terms: The secret behind finger acupuncture is the injection of needles into the meridians or acupoints will balance the flow of energy by restoring the lost energy. This works effectively because the needles stimulate the enzymes or hormones which help in minimizing the pain. It relieves endorphins in the body, influence the release of neurotransmitters and also enhance the working of autonomic nervous system. It also Influence the electrical currents in the body, which improves blood circulation to the body organs and hence maintains a healthy life. Finger acupuncture: In acupuncture, the main method used is, they insert small thin sterilized needles on to the acupoints."

What you need to know By Julie Revelant Published October 27, 2013 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Approximately 1 to 4 percent of children in the United States are diagnosed with sleep apnea, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association. Yet experts agree it’s a health condition that’s becoming more of a problem, particularly because of the childhood obesity epidemic. What’s more, some kids who are left undiagnosed or who are using medications for their symptoms are suffering unnecessarily. ADVERTISEMENTLearn how to recognize the signs that your child may have sleep apnea and find out how to get help. What is sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that causes the throat or upper airway to collapse, preventing oxygen from going through the lungs and causing shallow breathing or breathing pauses. Sleep apnea can happen at any age, but it’s most common in children ages 3 to 7 and during middle school. “When kids are having the greatest growth compared to their height, that’s when they’re most at risk,” said Dr. Floyd R. Livingston, Jr., division chief of pediatric pulmonology and sleep medicine at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Fla. While enlarged tonsils and adenoids are usually the culprit, obesity is also a major reason why kids get sleep apnea. In fact, up to 60 percent of obese children have obstructive sleep apnea, according to Sleep Medicine Reviews."

These will lead to a dentofacial growth anomaly that was defined as \"\"adenoid facies\"\" (see long face syndrome ). There is very little lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx of young babies; humans are born without substantial adenoids. The mat of lymphoid tissue called adenoids starts to get sizable during the first year of life. Just how big the adenoids become is quite variable between individual children. Contents [ hide ]1 Signs and Symptoms2 Causes3 Treatment4 References Signs and Symptoms [ edit]Ball-sized adenoid blocking the nasal passage. Enlarged adenoids can become nearly the size of a ping pong ball and completely block airflow through the nasal passages. Even if enlarged adenoids are not substantial enough to physically block the back of the nose, they can obstruct airflow enough so that breathing through the nose requires an uncomfortable amount of work, and inhalation occurs instead through an open mouth."

It started while playing sports, I owuld need to sub off rather quickly because the mucus buildup in my throat was so bad I couldn't breathe and would gag me until I vomitted it up. All \"\"it\"\" is was basically a small amount (relatively speaking) of very thick mucus. This happened very frequently and I went from medication to medication without any positive results for a long time. I am now on Nexium and if I take ot for about a year straight then I feel what I would refer to as somewhat civil, but still cannot persue any sort of physical activity like sports without becoming \"\"choked up\"\" to the point of needing to hack and spit or at worst gag and vomit. Went for a scope at an ENT specialist that lasted about 20 seconds, when I started to gag and they couldn;t continue and never rescheduled, simply saying it was inconclusive. i have requested some sort of muscle relaxer/drugs to make it so I won't gag ut my Dr. seems to think there's no need for this. I have another ENT appt. in October and I am afraid it'll be a waste of time if they take the same approach."

You can't see a person's adenoids by looking in their mouth. Adenoids are part of the immune system, which helps fight infection and protects the body from bacteria and viruses. Only children have adenoids. They start to grow from birth and are at their largest when a child is around three to five years of age. By age seven to eight, the adenoids start to shrink and by the late teens, they're barely visible. By adulthood, they'll have disappeared completely. Adenoids can be helpful in young children, but they're not an essential part of an adult's immune system."

Purpose The purpose of surgery to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck is to treat an abnormality (defect or disease) in these anatomical areas. An anatomical deformity is a change that usually occurs during embryological development, leaving the affected person with the apparent defect. A disease in this area usually develops later in life, such as head and neck cancer. Additionally, the specialty known as otorhinolaryngology (ears [ oto ], nose [ rhino ], and throat [ laryn ], referring to the larynx or throat) also includes surgical intervention for diseases in the head and neck regions. Most ears, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons in the United States are referred to as otolaryngologist and the specialty as otolaryngology. Ear surgery is usually performed to correct specific causes of hearing loss. Nose surgery can include different types of procedures necessary to treat sinus problems (sinus surgery). Throat surgery can include complicated procedures such as cancer of the larynx ( laryngectomy ), or more simple procedures such as surgical removal of the adenoids ( adenoidectomy ) or tonsils ( tonsillectomy ). Head and neck surgery may be necessary to remove a tumor or reconstruct an area after disfigurement from trauma or injury."

"text": "Print Overview An ear infection (acute otitis media) is most often a bacterial or viral infection that affects the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Children are more likely than adults to get ear infections. Ear infections frequently are painful because of inflammation and buildup of fluids in the middle ear. Because ear infections often clear up on their own, treatment may begin with managing pain and monitoring the problem. Ear infection in infants and severe cases in general often require antibiotic medications. Long-term problems related to ear infections — persistent fluids in the middle ear, persistent infections or frequent infections — can cause hearing problems and other serious complications. Symptoms The onset of signs and symptoms of ear infection is usually rapid. Children Signs and symptoms common in children include: Ear pain, especially when lying down Tugging or pulling at an ear Difficulty sleeping Crying more than usual Acting more irritable than usual Difficulty hearing or responding to sounds Loss of balance Fever of 100 F (38 C) or higher Drainage of fluid from the ear Headache Loss of appetite Adults Common signs and symptoms in adults include: Ear pain Drainage of fluid from the ear Diminished hearing When to see a doctor Signs and symptoms of an ear infection can indicate a number of conditions. It's important to get an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. Call your child's doctor if: Symptoms last for more than a day Symptoms are present in a child less than 6 months of age Ear pain is severe Your infant or toddler is sleepless or irritable after a cold or other upper respiratory infection You observe a discharge of fluid, pus or bloody discharge from the ear An adult with ear pain or discharge should see a doctor as soon as possible."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the name for that thing in the back of your throat? What do yo call that bulb shaped thing that hangs down in the back of your throat? What is it for? Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The uvula is a small, mucosa-covered set of muscles, musculus uvulae, hanging down from the soft palate, near the back of the throat. The word is derived from the diminutive of uva, the Latin word for \"\"grape\"\", due to the uvula's grape-like shape. If the uvula is touched by a finger or other object, this will induce an unpleasant gagging sensation which is often followed by vomiting. This is how bulimics induce vomiting. The uvula plays an important role in the articulation of the sound of the human voice to form the sounds of speech. It functions in tandem with the back of the throat, the palate, and air coming up from the lungs to create a number of guttural and other sounds. Consonants pronounced with the uvula are not found in English; however, languages such as Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, Ubykh, and Hmong use uvular consonants to varying degrees."

"text": "What Does a Medical Assistant Do? Job Description Medical assistants are healthcare professionals who help run the offices of physicians and healthcare providers by performing daily administrative and clinical tasks. Specific duties vary depending on geographic location, the size of the practice, and the practitioner’s specialty area. In smaller practices medical assistants generally have a wider range of responsibilities, performing administrative and clinical duties independently. Those working in larger healthcare facilities usually specialize in a particular area, and are supervised by a department administrator. Medical assistants have many administrative responsibilities, and are often the first point of contact for patients entering a medical facility. They may be responsible for greeting patients, answering phones, scheduling appointments, organizing patient medical records, filling out insurance forms, bookkeeping, and billing. The clinical duties of a medical assistant vary according to state law, but can include preparing patients for examination, recording medical histories, assisting the physician during the exam by drawing blood, removing sutures, changing dressings, and taking electrocardiograms. Medical assistants are often responsible for explaining treatment procedures to patients, and giving instructions about medication and special diets. Further duties may include preparing laboratory specimens, discarding contaminated supplies, and sterilizing medical instruments."

They fill diverse roles as office managers, event planners, operations managers, accountants and even maintenance workers – often having unique job descriptions based on the needs of their employer. In some industries, getting the job can require extensive interviewing and testing, but in any such role, organizational and problem-solving skills, resourcefulness, respect and responsibility are essential. Administrative assistants often find themselves wearing many hats and juggling tasks. They're often tasked with keeping track of budgets and ensuring all departments adhere to the funds they've been allocated. At times, they're enlisted as project managers in roles that require advanced organization and planning skills. And while executive assistants mostly engage with a company's higher-ups, administrative assistants provide support at all levels of an organization. By 2026, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for administrative assistants will decline by 5 percent, which translates to a loss of 191,900 jobs in this field by that time.

A lot! Your body produces its own chemicals and uses them to control certain functions, and the main system that coordinates these chemicals is called the endocrine system. What Is the Endocrine System? Although we rarely think about the endocrine system, it influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system plays a role in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and sexual function and reproductive processes. In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are controlled by the nervous system.

I talk with my patients and listen to their diversity of health issues. I hear a common thread with the root of their symptoms: too much responsibility that is impossible to manage. Struggling just to make it through each day, many women find themselves overloading on caffeine, sugary snacks, alcohol, and even sleep aids–simply to manage their stress. These habits can disrupt their body’s normal rhythms, and we’ll see why when we cover the functions of the adrenal glands. If your adrenal glands are in distress, now is the time to find the right support of them. In addition to healthy habits and supplementation, eating certain foods for adrenal fatigue can have a positive impact on your adrenal health. The Adrenal Glands and High Cortisol Levels Research shows that when we experience chronic stress, our adrenal glands–the tiny glands that moderate the stress response–will suffer. These walnut sized glands have an enormous job, producing many hormones that regulate our body’s functioning. This includes cortisol, a hormone activated when our stress levels rise, which signals our body to enter a heightened state of emergency."

"text": "The endocrine system is made up of several different organs and structures and is responsible for producing various hormones that allow the body to function properly as a whole. Some of the major components of the endocrine system include the pancreas, pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands. Additional parts of this vital system include the reproductive glands as well as the thyroid and parathyroid glands. These all work together to regulate functions such as growth, reproduction, and digestion. The pancreas is one of the major components of the endocrine system and is found just behind the stomach. This organ produces the hormones glucagon and insulin, which are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels within the body. Another role of the pancreas is to aid in digestion by producing special chemicals known as enzymes, which break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the small intestine. Inflammation of the pancreas may cause severe abdominal pain, which is usually treated with dietary changes and the use of prescription medications. The pituitary gland and adrenal glands are also essential endocrine system parts. Located just underneath the brain, the pituitary gland controls all of the glands involved in the endocrine system."

Lets start with the basics. A typical dictionary definition of \"\"Pituitary gland\"\" reads something like: The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is a small ductless gland of the endocrine system that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. It is about the size of a pea and is located at the base of the brain in a small, bony cavity covered by a tough and inflexible membrane. The Endocrine System The endocrine system is an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood. The field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine. Endocrine glands regulate your body chemistry by releasing hormones directly in to the blood system, which stimulate or inhibit activity in the target cells.

October 14 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. The adrenal glands are the triangle-shaped glands that rest over the kidneys. Two hormones made by this gland are available without a prescription, they include DHEA hormone and pregnenolone. Their main function is to regulate the stress response through the making of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol and adrenaline. They work with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormones, which stimulate the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, in turn, produces corticotropin hormones, which stimulate the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroid or steroid hormones. Both parts of the glands -- the adrenal cortex and the medulla -- perform separate functions. Primary adrenal insufficiency, or Addison disease, has many causes, the most common of which is autoimmune adrenalitis. Autoimmune adrenalitis results from destruction of the adrenal cortex, which leads to deficiencies in glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens."

Some adrenal gland disorders are congenital (born with it), others occur because of immune conditions, infection, tumors or stress. Doctors can treat some adrenal gland disorders with medication. Other adrenal gland disorders need to be treated with surgery. What are adrenal gland disorders? The adrenal glands are endocrine (hormone) glands that are located near the top of each kidney, and disorders of these adrenal glands can disrupt several important functions of the body. The glands produce hormones that control the body’s “fight or flight” instinct, which is the physiological reaction to a perceived attack or a health threat. These hormones also regulate the way the body functions. Adrenal–related functions that can be affected by adrenal gland disorders include blood pressure, heart rate, sweating and the production of the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen."

Endocrine gland is a gland whose secretions (called hormones) are collected by the blood and reach the tissues through the circulation. The hypophysis (pituitary) and the adrenals are examples of endocrine glands. Exocrine gland is a gland whose secretions are released externally through ducts (into the skin, intestinal lumen, mouth, etc.). The sebaceous glands and the salivary glands are examples of exocrine glands. What is the constitution of the endocrine system? The endocrine system is constituted by the endocrine glands and the hormones they secrete. Why is the endocrine system considered one of the integrative systems of the body? The endocrine system is said to have integrative character since the hormones produced by the endocrine glands are substances that act at a distance and many of them act in different organs of the body. So the endocrine glands receive information from some regions of the body and they can produce effects in other regions providing functional integration for the body."

Addison’s disease occurs when the adrenal cortex is damaged and the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the steroid hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol regulates the body’s reaction to stressful situations. Aldosterone helps with sodium and potassium regulation. The adrenal cortex also produces sex hormones (androgens). Symptoms What Are the Symptoms of Addison’s Disease? People who have Addison’s disease may experience the following symptoms:weakness in the musclesfatigue and tirednessdarkening in skin colorweight loss or decreased appetitea decrease in heart rate or blood pressurelow blood sugar levelsfainting spellssores in the mouthcravings for saltnauseavomitingirritability or depression If Addison’s disease goes untreated for too long, it can become an Addisonian crisis.

"text": "What is the adrenal gland? The adrenal glands are approximately two and half by one inch long yellowish-orange colored glands that are found just above the kidneys. Adrenal glands provide a very important function in protecting the body against stress. This function is carried out by secretion of a number of different types of hormones by the adrenal glands. Adrenal cortex The adrenal gland is actually two glands that are fused together into one gland. The outer part of the adrenal gland also called the adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones that are involved in regulating a number of different body functions. The adrenal cortex also produces a hormone called aldosterone that is involved in regulating the amount of salt and water in your body. Adrenal medulla The inner part of the adrenal gland is called the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla produces hormones called catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. Catecholamines play a role in the response to acute or sudden severe stress, for example during life threatening event."

And those who have ended up and rescuing these birds have usually found them to be friendly and if kept some time even, affectionate and loving. Males also have a sense of humor at times. While mourning doves only have an average life of a year and a half, a banded mourning dove has been reported to have reached an age of 31 before dying. It has also been estimated that almost half of the mourning dove population dies each year, but that these doves are so prolific that new babies more than offset the number of doves that die."

They are often seen perched on telephone wires, fence lines and foraging for seeds on the ground. As you may have guessed, the mourning dove is a member of the dove family (Columbidae). These attractive birds are long, and buff-colored with a small head, a plump body and a long pointed tail. Their eyes have a blue ring of featherless skin around them. Males will be slightly larger than females, and females will have more of a brown coloring. When they are taking flight and landing, their wings will make a sharp \"\"whistling\"\" sound.

More times than I would like to admit, I think about the birds I missed and where they are going. For this article, I'll discuss mourning dove migration, focusing on the south-central portion of the United States, starting with the breeding stage. Mourning doves are classified as a migratory bird and are regulated by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in conjunction with Mexico and Canada. Most mourning doves that migrate through southern Oklahoma and northern Texas breed in the Great Plains states, such as North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The remaining migrating doves that pass through Oklahoma and Texas breed in Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and Canada. However, not all mourning doves migrate. This is more common in southern latitudes, especially Texas. Nesting in the central United States peaks around mid-May and can continue until early September. Mourning doves are monogamous for at least the breeding season and possibly for multiple breeding seasons."

A staff report | Jun 30, 1998Download this article in . PDF format This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Aircraft hydraulic systems can be a challenge to design engineers, due to many constraints that are not encountered when designing a system for in-plant or mobile applications. Hydraulic technology first gained a foothold in aircraft flight control during World War II, when hydraulics was introduced for some secondary systems' control. However, as aircraft flight performance and capabilities increased, hydraulics began to play a larger role in the critical operation and safety of airliners, helicopters, and high-performance military aircraft.

"text": "\"Christoffer Laulund, Aerospace engineer, airplane geek, management student Answered Mar 26, 2014 · Upvoted by Tim Hibbetts, Naval Aviator, Airline Pilot, Aerospace Eng Maj The biggest issue with increasing speed of today's airliners is simply one of aerodynamics. We can only do so much with air, and air isn't about to radically change - luckily I might add. The Concorde flew at supersonic speeds, but was exceedingly expensive to operate and maintain. Additionally, its safety was called into question after the Paris accident in 2003. Additionally, flying faster than the speed of sound creates a massive pressure 'cone' permeating throughout the air from the object traveling at such speeds. This immense pressure difference creates what is known as the 'Sonic Boom' that can be heard clearly at the surface of the planet even when the aircraft is flying at 55,000-60,000 feet. ( You Tube 'Concorde breaking the sound barrier' to listen for yourself) Therefore, it is forbidden to operate supersonic aircraft over land (except for space exploration and military purposes) as it would disturb daily life and possibly even cause damage to objects on the ground. This limits the amount of routes airlines can fly with a supersonic aircraft, and hence also the market for such an aircraft. There are technologies in the pipeline that mitigate the sonic boom, however, these are still some way away from reaching maturity. Finally, with current aircraft design it is simply not possible to fly faster than close to the speed of sound."

"text": "Aerospace Engineers - What They Do Aerospace engineers design, test, and supervise the manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. Those who work with aircraft are called aeronautical engineers, and those working specifically with spacecraft are astronautical engineers. Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration, often specializing in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, and production methods. They also may specialize in a particular type of aerospace product, such as commercial aircraft, military fighter jets, helicopters, spacecraft, or missiles and rockets, and may become experts in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics, or guidance and control systems. Work Environment Most engineers work in office buildings, laboratories, or industrial plants. Others may spend time outdoors at construction sites and oil and gas exploration and production sites, where they monitor or direct operations or solve onsite problems. Some engineers travel extensively to plants or worksites here and abroad. Many engineers work a standard 40-hour week. At times, deadlines or design standards may bring extra pressure to a job, requiring engineers to work longer hours. Education & Training Required A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for almost all entry-level engineering jobs."

It could be said that the first flight of the Wright brothers' airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903, was the start of the aerospace industry in the United States. That triumph, long dreamed of by man, was the first of many innovations that came from the American aerospace industry. Another milestone was achieved by American inventor Robert Goddard, who designed, built, and launched a series of liquid-fueled rockets. Unlike solid-fuel rockets, the liquid-fuel design allowed for the engine to be started, stopped, and restarted, which is vital for maneuvering in space and for mid-flight correction of planetary spacecraft. Most modern rockets are built using Goddard's designs. Aerospace Engineers of today design, develop, and test aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and wind turbine blades and rotors, as well as supervise the manufacture of these products. Those who work with aircraft are called Aeronautical Engineers, and those Engineers working with spacecraft are called Aerospace or Astronautical Engineers.

The A&D industry is facing one of its greatest challenges in history as Congress and the Administration deal with mounting national debt and the need to balance the federal budget. All federal agencies face significant budget reductions, with the Department of Defense (Do D) potentially bearing the biggest burden. While all areas must be examined to identify unnecessary spending that can be reduced or eliminated to help lower the federal budget deficit and national debt, we must make sure that the nation’s future is not mortgaged to address today’s crisis. The aerospace and defense industry employs more than one million people. Annual sales are nearly $331 billion and the industry supports more than two million middle-class jobs. Aerospace sales alone account for $77.5 billion in exports, providing the economy with a foreign trade surplus of more than $50 billion. Conservatively, U. S. aerospace sales account for three to five percent of our country’s gross domestic product (GDP). The industry’s workforce is highly skilled and leads our nation in global competitiveness, providing current and future opportunities for young people to have high-paying careers that will keep the industry strong for the future while advancing our national and economic security.

How would someone go about getting a license, an apprenticeship, or become an intern in this field?- question from Stephen A bachelor of science degree from an accredited university is the only training required to enter the aerospace field. This degree normally takes four to five years to complete for a full-time student. Aerospace engineers do not need any kind of license or apprenticeship although some do go on to obtain a Professional Engineer (PE) license. This license is not typically required by aerospace engineers but is common in fields like civil engineering. The process to become a PE includes passing a Fundamentals of Engineering exam, working under a PE for four years, and passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. You can learn more about these requirements at the National Society of Professional Engineers. An internship is not required to become an engineer either, though it is a helpful method of improving one's resume. Finding internships can be challenging, but many companies and government labs offer summer positions to students.

"text": "Pets & Animals Birds Parrots Q: How Long Does It Take for Parrot Eggs to Hatch? A: Quick Answer Parrot eggs take 2 1/2 to 4 weeks to hatch, depending on the species of bird. Larger parrot species usually require a longer incubation time. Most parrots lay three to five eggs. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Adopt a Parrot? What Is a Female Parrot Called? What Is a Pocket Parrot? Full Answer Owners usually provide pet parrots a box full of shavings to use as a nest for laying and incubating eggs. The female lays one egg every day or every other day until she is finished laying the entire clutch. She usually doesn't start incubating the eggs until completing the entire clutch, which allows all of the eggs to hatch at about the same time."

Were parrots really associated with pirates? Maybe not, but they are fascinating birds, so it is no wonder parrots appear in children’s stories. Parrots come in a variety of bright colors, mostly made up of greens, reds, blues, and yellows. There are exceptions, though: the Pesquet’s parrot is black with red trim, and you can probably guess what color the African gray parrot is! There are 279 parrot species in the world that include macaws, keas, lovebirds, parakeets, lorikeets, and kakapos. Although quite different from each other in many ways, these birds all have a curved beak, zygodactyl feet, and generally eat nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects. Parrots have thick, strong beaks that are perfect for breaking open nuts and seeds with tough coverings. Macaws have such strong beaks that they have been reported to snap through broomstick handles! Zygodactyl feet are also very strong and helpful in holding slippery nuts and fruit."

"text": "\"Bird Adoption Parrots & Pet Birds Pets Parrot & Pet Bird Basics The Cost of Purchasing and Caring for a Pet Bird Some pet birds are pricier than others By Alyson Kalhagen Updated 10/23/17Share Pin Email Nataliya Ford / Getty Images How much will it cost to buy the bird you want? It depends on the species, and whether you buy from a professional breeder or another source such as a pet store. Beyond the cost of the bird itself, new owners should budget for things like pellets and other dietary needs such as seeds and fruits, properly-sized cages and even bird-proofed rooms for larger birds to fly around. Depending on the breeder, availability and your location, the cost of your bird may fluctuate outside the given ranges. The list also includes some of the other expenses you should plan for while caring for your new feathered friend. Initial and Ongoing Investment for Bird Care, Food, and Housing In general (depending on the breed), housing, feeding, and caring for a bird is less expensive than caring for a dog or cat. But the costs can rise dramatically depending upon the lifespan of the bird (some birds live as long as people) and your pet's healthcare needs. According to the Kiplinger website, these are the average costs you should budget for if you're considering a parakeet or other non-exotic small bird: First-year cost: $295Annual cost: $185 (plus unforeseen vet costs)Total lifetime cost (avg. lifespan of parakeet: 15-18 years): $2,885 - $3,440Other first-year costs include the cage ($70) and the purchase price, which ranges from $12 to $65 for a parakeet. After the first year, annual costs include food ($75), toys and treats ($25), and routine vet check-ups ($85)."

The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red or black neck ring and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings. Both sexes have a distinctive green colour. Rose-ringed parakeets measure on average 40 cm (16 in) in length, including the tail feathers, a large portion of their total length. Their average single-wing length is about 15 to 17.5 cm (5.9 to 6.9 in). In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call, and captive individuals can be taught to speak. It is herbivorous and not migratory. One of the few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in disturbed habitats, it has withstood the onslaught of urbanisation and deforestation. As a popular pet species, escaped birds have colonised a number of cities around the world, including Northern and Western Europe. ["

"text": "A Guide to the Endangered Animal Specieswritten by: Jenny Griffin•edited by: Sarah Malburg•updated: 6/29/2011All life on Earth is interconnected to form a balanced, healthy ecosystem, and all species are dependent on each other in some way or another. Biodiversity is essential to a healthy planet, yet many species face extinction. Let's explore some of the causes and effects of endangered animal species. Common Causes of Species Decline Some of the things that can upset the equilibrium in an ecosystem and contribute to the endangerment of the species within that system include overexploitation, habitat loss, and/or the reduction in resources essential for survival. Other factors, such as disturbance during the breeding season, or falling victim to non-target by-catch of intensive fishing practices, over a period of time may also cause a species to become endangered. Overexploitation Overexploitation of animals is one of the most obvious causes of species endangerment. This occurs when the species is harvested on an unsustainable basis, where the number of animals removed from the population is greater than the number replaced through reproduction or recruitment. The motivation for unsustainable harvesting is usually greed as high profits are received in return for the sale of the animals harvested. The demand for the target species may be for food, such as in the case of the endangered Bluefin tuna, or there may be a high demand for the species in the exotic pet market, such as can be seen in the trade in wild African Grey parrots. Sometimes the animal or its body parts may be valued for its medicinal or aphrodisiac properties, such as rhino horns or shark fins, or for its ornamental value such as ivory obtained from harvested elephant tusks."

Disco lives in western New York with his family, which includes three humans, a miniature schnauzer, and a guinea pig. But what makes Disco so interesting and lovable is the fact that he’s talkative -- very talkative. In fact, he’s a talented mimic who can say more than 120 phrases -- clearly. The first thing that people usually ask they see a parrot is does it talk? And in keeping with the “bigger is better” theme, when people are looking to add a parrot to their family, they often look past the small, inexpensive and less destructive budgerigars (also known as “budgies” or “parakeets”) in favour of larger, more expensive and noisier parrots, such as macaws, cockatoos, Amazon parrots or African grey parrots."

An endangered species is a species that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) Red List as likely to become extinct. If a species is not able to adapt to changes in its environment or successfully compete with the other species that share its habitat, it may eventually be pushed towards extinction. Human impacts often play a large role in species extinctions. As listed below, the ICUN has 8 levels of classification used to define the conservation status of a species ranging from \"\"Extinct\"\" to \"\"Least Concern\"\": Extinct (EX) - Extinct species are those that no longer exist, as the last individual of their kind has died. Extinct in the wild (EW) - These species only still survive in captivity, but there are no free-living, natural populations."

When feeding their young, insects are the main diet. Sunbirds are considered the jewels of the Old World tropics. Many species, especially the males, possess glittering iridescent colours. In morphology and nectar feeding behaviour, they remind one of the hummingbirds of the neotropics. In both groups, the females are plain. But sunbirds and hummingbirds are definitely not related. Sunbirds are omnivorous, feeding primarily on nectar and insects. When feeding on nectar they prefer to perch rather than hover as hummingbirds do. For nectar, these birds probe a wide range of plant, rather than specialising on specific species."

In the latter case, the Parakeet is sometimes isolated in a tribe of its own, the Melopsittacini, although it is probably quite closely related to Pezoporus and Neophema. Though Parakeets are often called Parakeets, especially in American English, this term refers to any of a number of small Parrots with long flat tails. The Parakeet is found throughout the drier parts of Australia and has survived in the inlands of that continent for over 5 million years. Parakeet Etymology Dilly, Ladies Man Several possible origins for the English name Parakeet have been proposed: * A compound of budgery, \"\"good\"\" and gar \"\"Cockatoo\"\". Parakeet means \"\"good eating\"\" or \"\"good food\"\" in some Australian Aboriginal languages. This is supported by the Oxford English Dictionary. The word budgery itself, also spelt boojery, was formerly in use in Australian English slang meaning \"\"good\"\". * An alteration of Gamilaraay gidjirrigaa, possibly influenced by the slang word budgery mentioned above."

For example, a bear’s diet varies depending on what foods are available during a specific season in a specific region. Let’s take a look at two different brown bears, a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park and an Alaskan brown bear, to see how they differ in diet, winter dens, and life cycle."

"text": "\"The giant panda is an animal that lives up to its name -- these beasts are big, strong, lumbering creatures. Despite their intimidating size as adults, though, giant pandas come from humble beginnings, as they are tiny at birth. While they are strong, powerful animals, they also are an endangered species. Despite their small numbers, though, the panda bear is a widely recognizable animal all over the world. Height and Weight Giant pandas are, indeed, relatively large animals. When a panda bear is on all fours, his back is about 3-4 feet off the ground. While that may not sound too intimidating, these bears can grow to be 6 feet long and up to 300 lbs., making them about as big as an American black bear. Their distinctive black and white coats are not as soft and cuddly as they look -- their fur is thick and coarse as wool, insulating the animal so that it can live in relatively cool climates. Tiny Beginnings The giant panda isn't always so giant."

[ 9]While the brown bear's range has shrunk and it has faced local extinctions, it remains listed as a least concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a total population of approximately 200,000. As of 2012, this and the American black bear are the only bear species not classified as threatened by the IUCN.

Let me start by saying that, for defense against bears, practically any firearm is better than none at all. Marauding bears have been killed by .22 rimfire pocket pistols; not very often, but it has been done by an Eskimo woman I happen to know about. However, the purpose of this article is to suggest better and more reliable firearm choices for protection in bear country. In North America, we have four species of bears. These are the black bear, grizzly bear, brown bear (a sub-species of grizzly) and polar bear. All bears are intelligent animals and should be respected. Based on the rather extensive research conducted by Edward A. Matunas, the average adult male black bear is estimated to weigh about 300 pounds. The average adult male grizzly bear is estimated to weigh about 700 pounds, with large Alaskan Brown bears scaling 1,000 pounds or more. The average adult male polar bear weighs around 900 pounds."

Response from Sean Farley, Research Biologist and Bear Specialist, ADF&GQuestion from A. Chapman, Anchorage Q) Do bears really sleep all winter? Do they need snow to build a den? Also, how is their behavior affected when it’s a warmer than usual winter? A) Bears hibernate during winter, but aren’t sleeping the whole time. Hibernation for bears simply means they don’t need to eat or drink, and rarely urinate or defecate (or not at all). There is strong evolutionary pressure for bears to stay in their dens during winter, if there is little or no food available. But bears will leave their dens on occasion, particularly when their den gets flooded or is badly damaged. Weather does play a role."

"text": "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE Recap: The Browns Pull Together & Turn Problems into Success!July 25, 2015 by Mechele R. Dillard Last night, fans gathered around their TV sets to watch the Brown family take on their first real job with the Integrity on the Season Finale of Discovery Channel’s hit series, ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE. But, last week, fans watched as the boat began showing major signs of its age–a rotted area in its wooden hull, for one thing–just as they needed to get going on the job. Did their luck change? Well, yes and no. With the Brown family, nothing is ever easy. It seems like they have more bad luck than any one family deserves. And, last night, that trend continued, as they encountered one problem after another. They fixed the hull well enough to run the boat, and Matt had an injury to his eye that demanded he take time go to the doctor and wear a patch the rest of the trip. Finally ready to take off, Billy discovered he had no steering, which turned out to be a lack of hydraulic fluid–good, because it was fixable; bad, because they still do not know where the presumed leak is, and they could find themselves in that predicament again at any time. All the problems set them back time-wise, and they completely missed the needed tides, leaving them almost on the rocks at one point and awaiting a good time to leave one stop to head to the next."

Today, scientists agree that there is only one species of brown bear with a lot of variations (or subspecies). Bears found in parts of coastal Alaska are called Kodiak or Alaskan brown bears and tend to be the largest of the species. This is from eating salmon rich in fat every summer.

In Japan, it is also known as tsukinowaguma which means moon circle bear. HABITAT Eastern Honshu is the only place in Japan where the black bears have any kind of a stronghold. The bears' home range is supposedly between 10 and 15 square miles, though this can vary depending on food supply and human encroachment. The more fragmented and degraded the bears' habitat becomes, the more distance they may be forced to travel to survive. The bears in the mountainous areas hibernate where there is snow on the ground for most of the winter. The snow helps to keep them warm by serving as an insulating blanket over their dens. Black bears are excellent climbers. They build nests in trees and on steep slopes, called enza in Japanese, that they use for either eating, resting or sleeping in. They also den in hollow trees, under large rocks, or in the ground."

Bear-viewing is, indeed, one of the most popular activities on Kodiak Island. The best time to see a Kodiak bear is during July, August and September and the best way to do so is in the company of a knowledgeable guide. Most local air taxis offer half-day viewing trips. Multi-day bear viewing adventures can be booked with remote lodges. Some boat charters and kayak outfitters specialize in bear and wildlife viewing. Special use cabins can be reserved through the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge office and through the Alaska State Parks office in Kodiak. In 2012, the Kodiak Brown Bear Center opened on Karluk Lake, in the heart of the 1.9 million acres of the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge. Bears are sometimes seen on the road system."

With a few strokes of his pen on December 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter brought that many acres and eight national parks into the system, which grew, acreage-wise, by more than half. Another 60 million acres were protected as wildlife refuges, conservation areas, and designated wilderness. Of course, nowhere else in the United States but Alaska could that much acreage be added to the park system in one fell swoop.

There are a lot of questions about the family that are going unanswered, which only seems to add to the popularity of the series. One of the big questions is about the brothers and, to a lesser extent, the daughters: Where are these young people planning on finding mates? Or, are they? Do they just plan to stick it out as a family until the end, or are the kids going to start their own families someday? At least, do they hope to? We’ve seen the brothers head to town to check out girls, but have they ever really dated? Oldest brother Matt, now in his 30s, does mean to at least live as a bachelor, apparently, and is beginning to separate himself from the “wolf pack.”"

But since viruses cannot reproduce on their own (because they are non-living) they need to reproduce by inserting their genetic material into living cells.12 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Acyclovir AZT and Other Reverse-Transcriptase Inhibitors Protease Inhibitors Why you shouldn't use antibiotics for a cold What are antibiotics? Antibiotics are medicines that help your body fight bacteria and viruses, either by directly killing the offending bugs or by weakening them so that your own immune system can fight and kill them more easily. The vast majority of antibiotics are bacteria fighters; although there are millions of viruses, we only have antibiotics for half-a-dozen or so of them. Bacteria, on the other hand, are more complex (while viruses must \"\"live\"\" in a \"\"host\"\" (us), bacteria can live independently) and so are easier to kill. ( A note for the purists out there: strictly speaking, an \"\"antibiotic\"\" is a bacteria-fighting medicine that is derived from a biological source (plant, mold, or other bacteria). Since most people use the term \"\"antibiotic\"\" for any anti-infection medicine, I am doing the same here. ) Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria (and viruses) aren't particularly intelligent."

Bacteria vs. Viruses There are two main types of organisms that cause infections: viruses and bacteria. Illnesses caused by viruses (especially in the nose and throat) are more common than illnesses caused by bacteria. Common illnesses caused by viruses are colds, most sore throats, and most coughs. Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses.

The American alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis ), sometimes referred to colloquially as a gator or common alligator, is a large crocodilian reptile endemic to the southeastern United States. It is one of two living species in the genus Alligator within the family Alligatoridae; it is larger than the other extant alligator species, the Chinese alligator. Adult male American alligators measure 3.4 to 4.6 m (11 to 15 ft) in length, and can weigh up to 453 kg (1,000 lb). Females are smaller, measuring 2.6 to 3 m (8.5 to 9.8 ft) in length. The American alligator inhabits freshwater wetlands, such as marshes and cypress swamps from Texas to North Carolina. It is distinguished from the sympatric American crocodile by its broader snout, with overlapping jaws and darker coloration, and is less tolerant of saltwater but more tolerant of cooler climates than the American crocodile, which is found only in tropical climates. American alligators are apex predators and consume fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Hatchlings feed mostly on invertebrates. They play an important role as ecosystem engineers in wetland ecosystems through the creation of alligator holes, which provide both wet and dry habitats for other organisms."

But what are the real differences between them? This is probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to crocodilians, and while the answer may appear straightforward the real truths lie in the details. SIAMESE CROCODILE1. Different families: There are three groups (families) of crocodilians: the alligatoridae, which includes the alligator and the caimans; the crocodylidae, which includes the \"\"true\"\" crocodiles; and the gavialidae, which contains only the gharial. So, the first difference is that alligators and crocodiles are actually in different families. 2. Shape of the jaw: The easiest way of telling apart crocodiles from alligators, however, is to look at their noses. Alligators (and caimans) have a wide \"\"U\"\"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed \"\"V\"\"-shaped noses."

"text": "What do Alligators Eat? Categorized as Reptiles Alligators are carnivorous reptiles who spend most of their time in the rivers of America and China. They hunt within and on the banks of these rivers and sometimes ponds or lakes. Baby alligators are very small and can only hunt worms, shrimp and tiny fish. Later, they grow to be over 1000 pounds and eat razorback boars, black bears, panthers and deer that they ambush from the water. Alligators lay in wait just below the surface of the water for an unsuspecting victim to come by for a drink. Then, while the animal is vulnerable, the alligator launches itself from the water, grabs the animal and drags it underwater to be drowned. Smaller prey include fish like catfish and gar turtles, and birds. Alligators are less likely to attack humans than their cousin the crocodile, but anyone swimming in alligator territory must be very cautious, particularly children.

In fact, Jamaica only has one species of crocodile, the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), which is the smallest and the least aggressive. However, these crocodiles can get large and have been known to attack people. One famous crocodile, “Lester,” was 14 feet long when he killed a woman in 1999. He was then killed himself. American Crocodile The American crocodile is far less aggressive than cousins in Africa and Australia that are sometimes highly antagonistic. The American crocodile is much more shy and tends to avoid people at all costs. Males get to between 8 and 12 feet normally, though specimens as long as 18 have been reported in Jamaica."

"text": "What Do Alligators Eat | Alligators Diet Do you known what do alligators eat? Stick to the end of this post and you’ll know all what you need. Alligators are large territorial animals especially males, with largest species tend to defend the primarily territory. The small alligators are commonly found in large gatherings. Despite its bulky size and weight, alligators are capable to make short bursts to grasp preys on land. They have a slow metabolism. Alligators primarily prey on smaller species which they kill with a single bite. Mostly, alligators prefer to eat food which can be consumed in one bite. Since they have a slow metabolic rate, alligators aren’t often involved in eating frequently. An adult alligator can gain a weigh of fifty pounds of prey each year, and it can also survive for one year without eating."

Alligators and crocodiles are, therefore, closely related, and people often confuse one with the other; however, these two reptiles are very different. An alligator is distinguished by its wide, rounded snout and black color. Also, all of its upper teeth can still be seen when its mouth is closed. Crocodiles, on the other hand, have narrow, pointed snouts, a grey-green color and only the fourth tooth on the lower jaw can be seen when the animal's mouth is closed, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Size There are two different types of alligator, and they vary in size. The American alligator can grow up to 11.2 feet (3.4 meters) long and weight nearly half a ton (1,000 lbs. or 454 kilograms), according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park.

In this lesson you will learn the basics about ecology, the scientific study of these interactions. What Is Ecology? The prefix 'eco' has become synonymous with environmentally-friendly living. This green fad, however, has more to do with conservation biology than with ecology, where the prefix is borrowed from. All organisms, no matter their size, their species, or where they live, need to interact with other organisms in their 'neighborhood' and with their environment in order to survive. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. The term comes from the Greek 'study of house', or the study of the place we live in."

An alligator’s brain weighs only eight or nine grams; it would take up only one-half of a tablespoon. This lack of brainpower means there is no such thing as a “nice alligator.” If it’s hungry, an alligator will eat anything that moves, including humans. Danger and scariness aside, alligators are amazing animals. They’ve been around for millions of years, and they’re about as close as we’ll probably ever get to seeing a living dinosaur.

"text": "American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) reside in the southeastern part of the United States, living in freshwater rivers, swamps, marshes and lakes. An adult male can reach over 12 feet, weighing over 1000 pounds. The mating and gestational period of alligators lasts around 6 months total, with baby alligators typically being born in early fall. Breeding American alligators reach sexual maturity when they are near 6 feet long, or around 10 to 12 years of age. Alligators typically begin courting in April, with breeding taking place in early May. After breeding, the female alligator builds a nest, measuring as large as 10 feet in diameter, in preparation for laying eggs. She then lays her eggs in late June to early July. Egg Incubation A female alligator lays between 35 and 90 eggs. Once the eggs are laid, she covers them with a layer of vegetation to keep them warm. The incubation period is 65 days and the temperature within in the nest plays a critical role during this time. If the nest temperature is above 93 degrees Fahrenheit for the incubation period, all juvenile alligators will be born male."

Flag What is the difference between alligators and crocodiles? Answer by Rahsoidry Confidence votes 20There are structural and physiological differences between the two types of crocodilians. The alligator has a much more specific habitat, being the Yangtze river in China and the swamps of the southeastern US. Only in the state of Florida will the two have nearby habitats. Lacking a functional salt gland, alligators cannot live in salt water. The easiest way to distinguish them is that in a crocodile, both lower and upper teeth are visible when the mouth is closed. In the alligator, the upper jaw covers the lower jaw. The shape of the head is also different : the crocodile has a V-shaped snout, which is very long and narrow in front, while the alligator's snout is more U-shaped. The crocodile's coloration is olive brown, while the alligator's color appears to be darker, nearly black."

They share many of the same features, characteristics and behavior, which sometimes causes confusion regarding their identification. There are two species of alligators: the American alligator and the Chinese alligator. The American alligator is the largest of the two and can reach 4 m (13ft) long and weigh up to 360 kg (800 lbs). The Chinese alligator is much smaller and doesn’t usually grow past 2 m (6.5 ft) in length. Like some species of crocodiles, alligators are often considered to be a danger to humans. However, alligators are far less aggressive than the big crocodile species and any attacks on humans are usually due to mistaken identity in cloudy water. Let’s find out where alligators live. Where do alligators live? The American alligator lives in the southeastern United States, which includes parts of Georgia, South and North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, along with all of Florida and Louisiana."

By 1960, however, alligators had been completely eliminated from much of their former range. The decline in alligator numbers led the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in 1967, to list the American Alligator as an endangered species. Shortly after the 1967 listing, surveys began to indicate that some alligator populations were more secure than was previously thought, and in the early 1970's, alligators were removed from the endangered species list in certain counties and parishes of Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia and instead listed as Threatened by Similarity of Appearance (TS/A). The TS/A designation indicates that the American Alligator is a common and secure species, but that they are similar in appearance to other crocodilians that are very rare and endangered, such as the American Crocodile (found in south Florida) and the Chinese Alligator, which has only a few hundred individuals remaining. Within a few years of receiving endangered species protection, population surveys and increasing numbers of nuisance complaints began to indicate that the alligator populations in Mississippi and across the southeast were rapidly recovering. On June 4, 1987 the status of the American Alligator was changed to TS/A across the range. This led the Mississippi Legislature, later in 1987, to pass legislation giving the Mississippi Commission on Wildlife Conservation the authority to set regulations to manage alligators. In 1989 the Commission enacted alligator regulations and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) created the Alligator Management and Control Project. The primary objectives of the alligator program are to monitor alligator populations, to control nuisance alligators through the use of alligator agent-trappers, and to educate the public on being safe around alligators."

"text": "How Do Alligator Families Live? Who What Where How A male alligator is known as a bull, a female alligator is called a cow, and baby alligators are referred to as hatchlings. Large male alligators prefer to live alone and are very defensive over their territories. Smaller alligators are more tolerant of the presence of other alligators and are more likely to live in closer proximity to other gators. A congregation is a group of alligators, in which smaller alligators are submissive to the largest, most dominant alligator. What Is Their Life Cycle? Alligators are polygamous animals, meaning they have several mates throughout their lifetime. Alligators begin searching for a mate in April and then breed in May. Males make low, bellowing sounds to attract a female. After mating, the mother builds a nest and lays between 20 and 50 eggs that take about 65 days to hatch. The nest is usually about three feet high and seven feet wide, and it is made using nearby vegetation and mud."

Most people think of gators as creatures of Florida and perhaps Louisiana, not realizing that they are common to the west well into Texas. To the north, we may imagine that they stop somewhere around Disney World. But, in fact, they already range a long way up from Florida."

Alligators tend to be smaller than their Crocodile cousins but have been known to move at speeds of up to 15mph on land making them one of the fastest large reptiles in the world. Despite their size, there are a number of distinct differences between Alligators and Crocodiles as an Alligator's snout is shorter than that of a Crocodile, and with their mouths shut, an Alligator's teeth cannot be seen but a Crocodile's can. Alligators are also commonly known as Gators in their native, southern North American habitats. Alligator Anatomy and Appearance Alligators are very large reptiles, with males growing up to 4.5 meters in length. The female Alligator tends to be slightly smaller, with a total body and tail length of between 3 and 3.5 meters. The Chinese Alligator is a much smaller species, almost half the size of a female American Alligator. Alligators have an armour-plated body that varies in colour from yellow, to green, to brown, finally turning almost completely black in old age. The tail of the Alligator is incredibly muscular and is used to propel the animal when it is in the water. Alligators have short, stocky legs with webbing between their toes."

We receive more than 2,200 nuisance alligator complaints annually. Approximately 3,000 nuisance alligators are harvested and an additional number of smaller sized nuisance alligators are relocated annually. The nuisance alligator program continues to strive to minimize alligator and human conflicts. What is considered a nuisance alligator? Not all alligators are considered nuisance alligators. The mere presence of an alligator does not qualify it as a nuisance, even if it is located in an unexpected place. Most alligators, if left alone, will move on. Alligators less than 4 feet in length are naturally fearful of humans and are generally not a threat to pets, livestock or humans. Alligators at least 4 feet in length that present a threat to pets, livestock or humans are considered “nuisance” alligators."

But what are the real differences between them? This is probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to crocodilians, and while the answer may appear straightforward the real truths lie in the details. SIAMESE CROCODILE1. Different families: There are three groups (families) of crocodilians: the alligatoridae, which includes the alligator and the caimans; the crocodylidae, which includes the \"\"true\"\" crocodiles; and the gavialidae, which contains only the gharial. So, the first difference is that alligators and crocodiles are actually in different families. 2. Shape of the jaw: The easiest way of telling apart crocodiles from alligators, however, is to look at their noses. Alligators (and caimans) have a wide \"\"U\"\"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed \"\"V\"\"-shaped noses."

"text": "While they look similar to the untrained eye, crocodiles and alligators do have distinct differences. These two types of reptiles are found in different parts of the world, and have unique physical distinctions, including different shaped snouts. Both are part of the Crocodilia order, along with caimans and gharials, which also share a superficial resemblance. Snout Differences In terms of physical differences, observing the snout — the mouth and nose — is one of the simplest ways to distinguish between a crocodile and an alligator. Crocodiles have long, narrow, V-shaped snouts, while those of alligators are wider and U-shaped. These differences are indicative of the type of diet that each species favors. The wide snout of the alligator packs more crushing power, making it easier to secure prey such as turtles. By contrast, the narrow snout of the crocodile is suited for fish as well as small mammals. Jaw Differences The jaws found on a typical crocodile and an alligator are also different. The upper and lower jaws of the crocodile are essentially the same width, with the teeth exposed in an interlocking pattern."

If you have ever seen an alligator with his mouth wide open, chances are you also saw its massive tongue sitting there, or possibly flopping around as the creature ate its dinner. An alligator’s mouth can be a rather intimidating sight. An alligator’s tongue is used to swallow prey whole. Both alligators and crocodiles have salt glands located on their tongues. However, these salt glands are not functional. In addition to these glands, an alligator has sensory pits that are located near their jaws. Do Alligators Hibernate? Alligators do not hibernate."

Alligators and crocodiles are, therefore, closely related, and people often confuse one with the other; however, these two reptiles are very different. An alligator is distinguished by its wide, rounded snout and black color. Also, all of its upper teeth can still be seen when its mouth is closed. Crocodiles, on the other hand, have narrow, pointed snouts, a grey-green color and only the fourth tooth on the lower jaw can be seen when the animal's mouth is closed, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

The American alligator can grow up to 11.2 feet (3.4 meters) long and weight nearly half a ton (1,000 lbs. or 454 kilograms), according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park.

"text": "\"What do alpacas eat? Pasture grass and hay is the primary diet, representing 80% of what the animals eat. Pasture grass and hay with about 12% protein is ideal. The feeding program at Able Oaks Ranch is based on body scoring and monthly weigh-ins to determine if an animal is gaining and/or maintaining weight appropropriately. The Camelid Digestive System Camelids (alpacas and llamas) have three stomachs. The first stomach is primarily a big fermentation vat that breaks down the cellulose in the hay and grass that the alpacas eat. The second and third stomachs extract the nutritional components. This type of digestive system is very efficient, enabling alpacas and llamas to get every last bit of nutrition from what they eat. So to keep your alpacas and llamas healthy, you must keep their first stomach working in a good, steady working state. If an animal gets sick, weak from parasites, or ingests the wrong feed, then the digestive process in the first stomack will be disrupted."

Aside from having a wonderful handle, so soft that you can wear right next to your skin, what’s so special about alpaca fiber? It’s warmer and stronger than the fiber of other mammals, light weight, and very water resistant. It has other qualities, as well. In the Yocum-Mc Call Testing Laboratories, alpaca was shown to be three times warmer than sheep’s wool. Why? One reason is that alpaca is more heavily medullated: in other words, there are tiny hollow areas in the centers of many individual alpaca fibers. These areas hold the warmth and, in addition, make alpaca lighter in weight than other animal fibers."

Herbivores only eat things that need photosynthesis to live. This excludes insects, spiders, fish and other animals. Some parasitic plants that feed off of other plants are also considered herbivores. Types of herbivores There are many different types of herbivores. Many eat a variety of plants, while some stick to one type of plant. Those who stick to one type of plant have their own special classifications. For example, animals that eat primarily fruit are called frugivores, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Fruit bats and flying foxes are examples of frugivores.

If you’ve only had little fried ‘bites’ of an alligator tail it doesn’t really count. You need to get a nice slab of meat, a Caiman steak for example.

Yes, you CAN make your alpacas pay for themselves with fleece sales but only if you manage your farm properly. Alpaca ownership is first and foremost a business.

"text": "\"Alpaca Facts Since ancient times, the South American Andes Mountains have been the ancestral home to the prized alpaca. Their fleece was cherished by members of the Incan civilization (referred to as \"\"The Fiber of the Gods\"\"), and their graceful herds of alpaca roamed the lush foothills and mountainous pastures. In the 17th century, Spanish conquistadors killed a large part of both the Incan and alpaca populations, forcing the retreating survivors to seek refuge in the high mountain plains known as the Altiplano. The high altitude and harsh landscape ensured only the hardiest of these creatures survived, and these ancestors of today's best bloodlines have provided a gene pool producing hardy, agile animals with dense, high quality fiber. In 1984, a small group of importers brought the first of a carefully selected herd of highest quality alpacas into the United States and Canada, and they immediately became a beloved part of the North American landscape. Peru, Bolivia, and Chile are still home to the largest percentage of alpacas in the world, and alpaca breeders in the United States have learned much from their southern neighbors. Alpacas are a member of the camelid family, which also includes dromedary and Bactrian camels, llamas, vicunas, and guanacos. They are a modified ruminant and chew their cud similar to a cow, although they have three stomachs rather than the true ruminant, which has four. Alpacas selectively graze, eating pasture grasses and hay, a fact that makes feeding alpacas relatively inexpensive. A daily mineral supplement rounds out their diet."

"text": "\"History Llamas are members of the camel (camelid) family. Originating in the Central Plains of North America about 10 million years ago, the llama predecessors migrated to South America around 2.5 million years ago. Its cousin, the camel , relocated to the Middle East and other regions of the world. The end of the Ice Age 10,000 to 12,000 years ago marked the extinction of the camelid in North America. Llamas were domesticated from the guanacos of the Andean highlands of Peru 5,000 to 6,000 years ago and are among the world's oldest domestic animals. While primarily a beast of burden for the native herdsmen, llamas also provided them with meat, wool, hides for shelter, manure pellets for fuel, and became sacrificial offerings to their gods. Today there are an estimated 7 million llamas and alpacas in South America. In the United States and Canada there is an estimated 65,000 llamas , 7,000 alpacas and 200 guanacos. Llamas have international appeal, with countries such as New Zealand augmenting their fiber industry with llama and alpaca wool. As in ancient times, the llama today is important to the agricultural economy of the remote highlands of Argentina, Bolivia, Chili and Peru."

"text": "\"16 of the 22 Natural Colors About Alpacas Introduction: Alpacas are truly unique and wonderful creatures. With their ability to adapt to virtually any climate they are being raised from Florida to Minnesota and California to Maine. Their gentle humming and playful pronking as well as minimal care requirements make them truly a unique livestock. They are safe; they don't bite or butt and are wonderful with children. Even if they could bite without incisors horns hoofs or claws little harm can be done. Clean-up is easy since alpacas deposit droppings in only a few places in the paddock (not to mention that the droppings are know as \"\"Alpaca Gold\"\" the perfect fertilizer!). The alpaca, as seen above on the left, weigh about 140-160 pounds on average, and have soft, luxurious fleece. They are gentle, timid, and are not agressive animals, running away from any predatory situation. The llama on the other hand, as shown on the right, average over 300 pounds, and have much coarser fleece. They are very brave and would challenge a preditor, and make good guard animals, and are great for carrying heavy packs."

"text": "The Anatomy of Alpaca Teeth The Anatomy of Alpaca Teeth Both llamas and alpacas have inherited their dentition from their wild ancestors. The dental layout and specialization of teeth found in llamas and alpacas is evident in 25 million year old ancestral camelids. Llamas and alpacas have the same number and kinds of teeth (same dental formula): molars, incisors and canines. The significant difference between the two species is that in llamas the incisors (front teeth) are encased in enamel and are not prone to continue growing throughout the animal’s lifetime. However, many llamas are still in need of tooth trimming. Alpacas teeth have characteristics of both llamas and vicunas; they usually have no or little enamel on the tongue side of their teeth and experience continual tooth growth well into adulthood. The incisors are designed to procure food. The llama or alpaca grabs a tuft of grass growing from the ground and shuts its mouth on it, pressing the grass against the dental pad (front of top jaw) with its incisors (teeth at the front of the lower jaw). With the grass held firmly, the animal tears it away and eats. In a normal animal there are six incisors at the front of the lower jaw (mandible) and no front teeth at front of the upper jaw maxilla)."

Credit: sinagrafie | Shutterstock Adorable, docile and soft, alpacas are prized as pets and cattle around the world. There are no wild alpacas. Alpacas are domesticated versions of vicuñas, South American ruminants that live high in the Andes. Alpacas are related to llamas, which are domesticated versions of another wild Andean ruminant, the guanaco. While llamas are used as pack animals, alpacas are raised mainly for their soft wool. Guanacos and vicuñas are found throughout the Andes Mountains. They are descended from camelids that developed in North America and migrated to South America 3 million years ago, according to Phil Switzer, an alpaca breeder based in Colorado. These animals evolved into guanacos and vicuñas, and about 6,000 years ago, people in the Andes began to domesticate them. There are two breeds of alpaca, the Huacaya and the Suri."

Alpaca farming is quickly becoming very popular these days, especially with the cotton, wool, and textile industry slowly dying in major world-moving countries like the United Kingdom and the United States. Alpaca fiber is still considered by many to be scarce and unique. This actually can only be considered as good news for budding alpaca farmers for there is a very high-demand, not only in the United States, but worldwide. Garments and textile produced from alpaca fiber are highly sought after globally nowadays for their luxury feel and warmth. However, starting an alpaca farm is not all too easy, nor will it be smooth sailing. There are a lot of things to consider when starting out a business such as this, especially for those who have not had years of experience in a similar farming industry . Getting to Know Alpacas The very first thing to do when planning to start an alpaca farm is to educate yourself by reading and doing a lot of research. Knowing everything and anything about the alpaca and how to successfully manage and run an alpaca farm is key to what could be a very rewarding and fulfilling business."

Remains of alpaca found at elevations closer to sea levels suggest that alpaca once had a wider geographical distribution and that the reduction of its range started with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores and their introduced livestock. In the 1980s alpacas started to be exported to other countries for farming purposes. Nowadays, alpacas can be found in countries such as the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and the Netherlands, among others. In spite of the increase in alpaca farming outside its native territory, it has been estimated that 99% of the world population of alpacas is found in South America.

Alpha waves Alpha waves are neural oscillations in the frequency range of 7.5–12.5 Hz [1] arising from synchronous and coherent (in phase or constructive) electrical activity of thalamic pacemaker cells in humans. They are also called Berger 's wave in memory of the founder of EEG. Alpha waves are one type of brain waves detected either by electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG) and predominantly originate from the occipital lobe during wakeful relaxation with closed eyes. Alpha waves are reduced with open eyes, drowsiness and sleep. Historically, they were thought to represent the activity of the visual cortex in an idle state. More recent papers have argued that they inhibit areas of the cortex not in use, or alternatively that they play an active role in network coordination and communication. [ 2] Occipital alpha waves during periods of eyes closed are the strongest EEG brain signals. Alpha waves can be quantified using Quantitative electroencephalography (q EEG) using freely available toolboxes, such as, EEGLAB or the Neurophysiological Biomarker Toolbox."

A thin cover of skin, called the scalp, covers most of the cranium. The largest part of the brain immediately beneath the bones of the cranium is the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is composed of nerve cells (neurons), many of which are functionally connected to each other, and connected to other parts of the brain. Electrical activity in the form of nerve impulses being sent and received to and from cortical neurons is always present, even during sleep. In a biological sense (as well as a medical or legal sense), absence of electrical activity in the human cerebral cortex signifies death. Functions of the cerebral cortex include abstract thought, reasoning, voluntary and involuntary control of skeletal muscle, and the recognition and differentiation of somatic, visceral, and special sensory stimuli. Specific regions of the cerebral cortex process or generate various kinds of information. For example, the occipital lobe processes visual information while the parietal lobe processes somatosensory information such as cutaneous pain or temperature (Fig 3.1)."

"text": "Hidden Benefits Of Nicotine on The Brain Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email487When most people think of nicotine, they think of smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products. Since tobacco products are linked to various types of cancer (e.g. lung cancer from smoking), many people assume that nicotine is inherently evil. While nicotine is considered one of the most addictive drugs, there isn’t significant evidence supporting the idea that it causes cancer. While cancer is commonly associated with nicotine due to the fact that nicotine is in cigarettes, this is mostly due to tobacco as well as the upwards of 7,000 chemicals added to these products. When used in the form of a standalone patch, a person is capable of attaining a psychological “buzz” or cognitive enhancement from nicotine, without the dangerous toxins associated with smoking cigarettes. For this reason, many people resort to smoking cigarettes or even just using nicotine patches as a way to remain calm and focused during cognitively demanding tasks. Nicotine is considered a nootropic and can be used as a “smart drug” to maximize cognitive capacity, plus some evidence suggests that it may act as a neuroprotective agent . Examples of tasks that people have found benefit from using nicotine include: solving complex mathematical equations, taking exams, and technical writing. What is nicotine? + How it works."

The number of neurons sparking in the brain at a certain frequency (speed) convey information that defines the amplitude (or power). Brainwaves are measured in Hertz (waves per second), and have a spectrum of frequencies. Each frequency spectrum carries a different meaning about emotions, physical movement, concentration, and creative expression. Issues happen when specific frequencies do not fire optimally for a given activity. For example, it is not optimal for beta frequency, the “go” brainwave, to be dominant at night or it causes insomnia."

Our states of consciousness might be described as the \"\"alert\"\" or \"\"heightened\"\" state, \"\"drowsiness\"\" (when we are awake but inattentive), and finally the consciousness associated with slow wave and REM sleep. It has been suggested that two overlapping systems underlie the various states of consciousness. One system, the reticular activating system (RAS) emanates from the brainstem and projects upward to the cerebral cortex via the thalamus. The other system is the neurohormonal (neurohumoral) system, again arising in brainstem nuclei and projecting upward to many regions of the brain, and increasing levels of certain neurohormones in various regions of the brain. The influence of these systems can be described in behavioral terms, such as the ability to think and also the kind of thoughts we have, or it can be described in terms of brain wave activity (ie. the electrical brain wave pattern observed with electroencephalography, or EEG)."

"text": "The specifics about how exactly Brainwave Entrainment works. What are Alpha Waves,Theta Waves,Delta Waves, and Gamma Waves In the past, the most common method of inducing specific brainwave states was through the use of binaural beats. One specific beat was played in one ear (through stereo headphones) and a different beat was played through the other. What the brain would naturally do in hearing these variated beats was create its own beat from the combination of the two (ie if a beat at 100 Hz was played in one ear, and a beat of 110 Hz was played in the other, the brain would resonate at 10Hz). Aside from this directing the brain into a specific state, it also causes the two hemispheres of the brain to synchronize, promoting whole brain functioning. More recently, other methods have been discovered for inducing specific brainwave states, such as isochronic tones, and monaural beats, but the bottom line is that Binaural Beats Do Work!Isochronic tones and Monaural beats are now being considered by many to be more effective and more useful in brainwave entrainment technology. Monaural beats, unlike binaural beats, only use one beat. It is said that these are easier on the brain, and help to induce a specific brainwave state faster and more effectively, as the brain does not need to go through the process of reconciling two different frequencies. Isochronic tones are the most recent and advanced method for brainwave entrainment audios. With isochronic tones, the same intensity is used for all tones, but they pulsate on and off at different rates."

Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain waves -- the slowest brain waves (see \"\"Brain Waves\"\" sidebar). About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph. D., chair of physiology. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep. During REM sleep, several physiological changes also take place. The heart rate and breathing quickens, the blood pressure rises, we can't regulate our body temperature as well and our brain activity increases to the same level (alpha) as when we are awake, or even higher."

"text": "How good are GABA supplements for anxiety, stress and relaxation? July 15th, 2010 Nyomi Nutritionist Patrick Holford says that most people with intense or constant anxiety either self-medicate with alcohol or cannabis, or see their doctor, possibly to be given a prescription for a tranquiliser. “ In one week in Britain, we pop 10 million tranquillisers, puff 10 million cannabis joints and drink 120 million alcoholic drinks”, says Holford, in his book Optimum Nutrition for the Mind. “ The choice of these three drugs – alcohol, cannabis and tranquillisers – is no coincidence. They all promote the neurotransmitter GABA, which is the brain’s peacemaker, helping to turn off excess adrenalin and calm you down. ”“Supplementing 500 to 1,000mg [of GABA], once or twice a day, is a highly effective natural relaxant,” according to Holford. But what does the evidence say about how good GABA supplements are to calm people down? Although the evidence is mostly anecdotal, using a GABA supplement to boost GABA levels in people who are stressed and anxious can lead to a more relaxed and focused mind. What is GABA and how does it work? What are GABA supplements taken for?"

Psychologists, neurologists and researchers are writing about the results of these studies, helping us to understand and making us enthusiastic about the results obtained by those using these techniques. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAINMost people have been accostumed to think and act according to Cartesian paradigm, based on logical, linear, sequential reasoning, leaving aside emotions, intuition, creativity, and capacity to dare trying different solutions. António Damásio, the well-known and awarded Portuguese neurologist, who lives in the United States, author of many published works, states in hist recent book \"\"Descarte's mistake\"\" that \"\"the departing point of science and philosophy should be anti-Cartesian: I am (and I feel), therefore I think\"\". The vision of human being as a whole, is the key to the global development of the being. By using more the left hemisphere, considered as rational, we do leave out the possibility of taking advantage of the benefits brought by the right hemisphere, such as creative imagination, serenity, global view, capacity of synthesis and ease of memorization, among others. Mandala - By Iraci Santana By means of various techniques we can stimulate the right side of the brain and search the integration of the two hemispheres, balancing the use of our potentialities. One of these techniques consists of making some given drawings, in a non conventional way, so that our left hemisphere should consider them as a boring task and give up exerting total control, and then leaving in charge the right hemisphere, that \"\"enjoys\"\" the exercise. The use of appropriate music, which diminishes the brain rythm, and silence also contributed to the balance in the use of brain hemispheres. There are some researchers who suggest barroque music, especially the \"\"largo\"\" movement, which brings the adequate conditions for learning."

"text": "Brain Waves as Neural Correlates of Consciousness Consequences for the development of special talents Posted Nov 23, 2012SHARETWEETEMAILMOREWhen we are thinking, thoughts flicker in and out of our minds. What does that mean on the level of the brain? Recent research, conducted by researchers at at MIT and Boston University, suggests that when thoughts are in our minds, corresponding groups of neurons are oscillating in synchrony in a high frequency range, around 30 or higher, whereas thoughts that are no longer in our minds oscillate at lower frequencies. When several, distinct thoughts are held in mind simultaneously, several oscillating bundles are out of sync with each other. The normal waken brain has brain activity that fluctuates between 8 and 100 Hz. An alert and active brain will tend to have neural oscillations, roughly, in the 40 Hz range in at least some parts of the brain. These brain waves are also known as gamma waves. Alpha waves—oscillations in the 8 to 12 Hz frequency range—and beta waves—oscillations in the 12 to 30 Hz range—become more prominent when you are inactive, for example, when you are passively watching television. Brain dead people and coma patients can have oscillations that approach zero. And in seizure patients the brain oscillates even faster and more regions of the brain vacillate in the same frequency range."

"text": "a closer look at EEGWhen someone has had seizures, and it is thought that they might have epilepsy, there are various tests that their specialist might ask for. Two of these tests are the electroencephalogram (EEG) and MRI. Before we look at EEG in detail, we need to understand that neither of the tests will say for certain whether the person has epilepsy or not. But these tests, alongside other information, might help the specialist to decide if epilepsy is a likely cause of the seizures. Electroencephalographs - EEGs Not all seizures are due to epilepsy. There are other medical conditions that might cause someone to have a seizure for example, diabetes. The difference between epileptic seizures and other seizures is that epileptic seizures are caused by a disruption in the way the brain is working. The fact that epileptic seizures always start in the brain is important when considering the EEG. An EEG looks at what is happening in the brain – the activity of the brain cells. It does not look at the structure of the brain (how the brain is made up).‘Brain waves’ and electrical signals Brain cells (neurones) work by sending nerve impulses from one cell to another to transfer messages around the brain and the body."

Clinical Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy, therefore, is the use of an altered state of consciousness, or trance, for therapeutic endpoint. This means that people are not treated with hypnosis but are treated in hypnosis. All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, which individuals allow themselves to enter so that desired, beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the part of the mind known as the subconscious. Under hypnosis, the conscious, rational part of the brain is temporarily bypassed, making the subconscious part, which influences mental and physical functions, receptive to therapy. During the trance state there is heightened concentration for the specific purpose of maximising potential, changing limiting beliefs and behaviours and gaining insight and wisdom. Although hypnosis may be light, medium or deep, a medium trance is usually used during which metabolism, breathing and heartbeat slow and the brain produces alpha waves. Normal states of consciousness i.e. sleeping, dreaming, being awake, can be detected in the wave patterns produced by the brain. The state of hypnosis differs from all three."

The Greek scientist and philosopher, Aristotle, linked throbbing pain to the heart beat. That was over 2,000 years ago, and Aristotle’s assumption wasn’t challenged…until recently. Researchers at the University of Florida (UF) monitored the heart rates of subjects with the throbbing of their pain, to see if they were linked. They discovered that they were not linked. What they did discover, was that throbbing pain correlated with the activity of alpha waves in our brain. UF research neurologist, Dr. Andrew Ahn, said, “We understand very little about alpha waves, but they appear to have an important role in attention and how we experience the world. In addition, by analogy to how a radio works, alpha waves may also act as a carrier signal that allows different parts of the brain to communicate with itself. ”So, scientists don’t really know why we experience Throbbing Tooth Pain, just that we do experience it."

"text": "5 Types Of Brain Waves Frequencies: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email3.2KIt is important to know that all humans display five different types of electrical patterns or “brain waves” across the cortex. The brain waves can be observed with an EEG (or an “electroencephalograph”) – a tool that allows researchers to note brain wave patterns. Each brain wave has a purpose and helps serve us in optimal mental functioning. Our brain’s ability to become flexible and/or transition through various brain wave frequencies plays a large role in how successful we are at managing stress, focusing on tasks, and getting a good night’s sleep. If one of the five types of brain waves is either overproduced and/or under produced in our brain, it can cause problems. For this reason, it is important to understand that there is no single brain wave that is “better” or more “optimal” than the others. Each serves a purpose to help us cope with various situations – whether it is to help us process and learn new information or help us calm down after a long stressful day. The five brain waves in order of highest frequency to lowest are as follows: gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta.5 Brain Waves: Frequencies To Understand Before I get into specifics, it is important to realize that when I refer to a certain brain wave, I am implying that a particular brain wave is “dominant.” Throughout the day in your waking state, your EEG will display all 5 types of brain waves at the same time. However, one particular brain wave will be dominant depending on the state of consciousness that you are in."

While most of us focus on looking at our emotions in an attempt to become happier, more spiritual beings, our brain waves and our subconscious mind also play a key part in our quest for fulfillment. In this article, we’ll be looking at our five brainwave frequencies and how they affect our state of mind. Are we the controllers of our reality? We easily forget that we are the controllers of our reality — and that “our reality” is not made up of outside influences, but that it actually consists of our thoughts, beliefs andmindset. Therefore, by learning about the deeper states of consciousness, you can open your subconscious mind and create your reality at will, and with precision. To do this, the first step is understanding your different brain frequencies. Did you know that we all have five (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and Gamma), and each frequency is measured in cycles per second (Hz) and has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of brain activity and a unique state of consciousness?

"text": "Back to all posts All You Need To Know About Alpha Brainwaves In a previous post, we discussed what binaural beats are and how they work. You can read the details by visiting that blog post, but the summary of it is binaural beats affect the brain by being in the same frequency as certain brainwaves, which then causes certain effects depending on what kind of brainwave pattern is simulated. And of all these brainwaves, one in particular stands out for being very beneficial overall: Alpha Waves. What are Alpha Waves? Discovered in 1929 by a man named Hans Berger, Alpha Waves are brainwaves that are in the 8-13 Hz (some sources claim 8-12) and are called such because it is the first brainwave pattern discovered, with “alpha” being the first letter in the Greek alphabet. Alpha Waves are produced when your brain and body are relaxed and at peace, and is a characteristic of being relaxed yet alert at the same time (we'll get more into this later.) As well, Alpha Waves aren't just the result of being relaxed, they can cause relaxation as well. However, Alpha Waves aren't just those things. Benefits of Alpha Waves Science has shown that Alpha Waves are a factor in a person's creative capabilities and even athletic capacity. This is is because when Alpha Waves are produced, the body and mind calm down and relax, which reduces stress and thus reduces the effort it takes for the mind and body to function."

"text": "\"Health What is the function of the various brainwaves? Ned Herrmann is an educator who has developed models of brain activity and integrated them into teaching and management training. Before founding the Ned Herrmann Group in 1980, he headed management education at General Electric, where he developed many of his ideas. Here is his explanation. It is well known that the brain is an electrochemical organ; researchers have speculated that a fully functioning brain can generate as much as 10 watts of electrical power. Other more conservative investigators calculate that if all 10 billion interconnected nerve cells discharged at one time that a single electrode placed on the human scalp would record something like five millionths to 50 millionths of a volt. If you had enough scalps hooked up you might be able to light a flashlight bulb. Even though this electrical power is very limited, it does occur in very specific ways that are characteristic of the human brain. Electrical activity emanating from the brain is displayed in the form of brainwaves. There are four categories of these brainwaves, ranging from the most activity to the least activity."

"text": "How good are GABA supplements for anxiety, stress and relaxation? July 15th, 2010 Nyomi Nutritionist Patrick Holford says that most people with intense or constant anxiety either self-medicate with alcohol or cannabis, or see their doctor, possibly to be given a prescription for a tranquiliser. “ In one week in Britain, we pop 10 million tranquillisers, puff 10 million cannabis joints and drink 120 million alcoholic drinks”, says Holford, in his book Optimum Nutrition for the Mind. “ The choice of these three drugs – alcohol, cannabis and tranquillisers – is no coincidence. They all promote the neurotransmitter GABA, which is the brain’s peacemaker, helping to turn off excess adrenalin and calm you down. ”“Supplementing 500 to 1,000mg [of GABA], once or twice a day, is a highly effective natural relaxant,” according to Holford. But what does the evidence say about how good GABA supplements are to calm people down? Although the evidence is mostly anecdotal, using a GABA supplement to boost GABA levels in people who are stressed and anxious can lead to a more relaxed and focused mind. What is GABA and how does it work? What are GABA supplements taken for?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Brain wave\"\" redirects here. For other uses, see Brain wave (disambiguation). Neural oscillation, or brainwave, is rhythmic or repetitive neural activity in the central nervous system. Neural tissue can generate oscillatory activity in many ways, driven either by mechanisms within individual neurons or by interactions between neurons. In individual neurons, oscillations can appear either as oscillations in membrane potential or as rhythmic patterns of action potentials, which then produce oscillatory activation of post-synaptic neurons. At the level of neural ensembles, synchronized activity of large numbers of neurons can give rise to macroscopic oscillations, which can be observed in an electroencephalogram. Oscillatory activity in groups of neurons generally arises from feedback connections between the neurons that result in the synchronization of their firing patterns. The interaction between neurons can give rise to oscillations at a different frequency than the firing frequency of individual neurons. A well-known example of macroscopic neural oscillations is alpha activity. Neural oscillations were observed by researchers as early as 1924 (by Hans Berger )."

"text": "Brain Waves And The Deeper States Of Consciousness Jan 26, 2014 4Every part of your body vibrates to its own rhythm. Your brain has a unique set of brain waves. In neuroscience, there are five distinct brain wave frequencies, namely Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and the lesser known Gamma. Learning mind control at the deeper states of consciousness opens you up to the world of your subconscious mind where you can create your reality at will and with exact precision. Each frequency, measured in cycles per second (Hz), has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of brain activity and hence a unique state of consciousness. Beta (12-30Hz): Beta brain waves are associated with normal waking consciousness and a heightened state of alertness, logic and critical reasoning. As you go about your daily activities you are at Beta. Although important for effectively functioning in everyday life, higher Beta levels translate into stress, anxiety and restlessness. With the majority of adults primarily operating at Beta during their waking hours it is little wonder that stress is today’s most common health problem. The voice of Beta is the little nagging chatterbox of your inner critic, which becomes louder and more relentless the higher you go in the range."

The completely light-tight nature of the skull renders this home a place of complete darkness. So the brain relies on the eyes to supply an image of the outside world, but there are many processing steps between the translation of light energy into electrical impulses that happens in the eye and the neural activity that corresponds to a conscious perception of the outside world. In other words, the brain is playing a game of telephone and—contrary to popular belief—our perception corresponds to the brain’s best guess of what is going on in the outside world, not necessarily to the way things actually are."

"text": "WOMEN 10/12/2011 04:34 pm ET Updated Oct 12, 2011‘Hooking Up’ — What Does It Really Mean? How do you define “hooking up?”A recent study of how social networks lead college students to define, perceive, and participate in “hooking up” showed that while everybody is talking about it, no one is exactly sure what it means. The study, conducted by Amanda Holman, a doctoral student at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, and Dr. Alan Sillars of the University of Montana, was conducted on 274 college students at a large public university. They found that while 94 percent of participating students were familiar with the phrase “hooking up,” there was no consensus about what “hooking up” actually entailed. Over half described a hookup as involving sex, nine percent described it as not including sex and about one-third said it could be ambiguous as to whether or not “hooking up” had to involve sex. In other words, “hooking up” could mean anything from kissing to intercourse. ( For a list of alternate euphemisms, see below. ) All Talk? Despite the ambiguity of the term “hookup,” 84 percent of students reported that they had discussed theirs with friends in the previous four months. Over 50 percent reported at least one and a third reported at least two hookups during the school year, indicating that these liaisons — however the students defined them — were common."

"text": "\"Requirements & Specifications Carnegie Mellon University 18-849b Dependable Embedded Systems Spring 1999 Author: Eushiuan Tran Abstract: Defining requirements to establish specifications is the first step in the development of an embedded system. However, in many situations, not enough care is taken in establishing correct requirements up front. This causes problems when ambiguities in requirements surface later in the life cycle, and more time and money is spent in fixing these ambiguities. Therefore, it is necessary that requirements are established in a systematic way to ensure their accuracy and completeness, but this is not always an easy task. This difficulty in establishing good requirements often makes it more of an art than a science. The difficulty arises from the fact that establishing requirements is a tough abstraction problem and often the implementation gets mixed with the requirements. In addition, it requires people with both communication and technical skills. As requirements are often weak about what a system should not do, this poses potential problems in the development of dependable systems, where these requirements are necessary to ensure that the system does not enter an undefined state. The development of dependable embedded systems requires even more complicated requirements as the embedded system not only interacts with the software but also with the outside world. Therefore, the importance of establishing good requirements is even greater in embedded systems design."

[ edit]Parsing is the assignment of the words in a sentence to their appropriate linguistic categories to allow understanding of what is being conveyed by the speaker. It is not simply the assignment of words to simple diagrams or categories, but also involves evaluating the meaning of a sentence according to the rules of syntax drawn by inferences made from each word in the sentence. This evaluation of meaning is what makes parsing such a complex process. When speech or text is being parsed, each word in a sentence is examined and processed to contribute to the overall meaning and understanding of the sentence as a whole. It occurs as the language is being processed, examining both the past and present stimuli to allow understanding of future concepts. When a sentence is read, the reader decides which categories the words belong in. These categories include basic grammatical components, (such as agent, proposition, patient) that are assigned based on what is inferred. These categories are very basic, simple enough that a computer can parse them if enough grammatical rules and roles are known. However, parsing cannot just rely on simple grammatical rules as quite often, these thematic categorical components can be assigned to multiple categories or take on multiple meanings that drastically change the meaning of a sentence."

Nicole plans to pursue a Ph. D. in English Literature. Dickinson’s poetry is filled with moments of ambiguous meaning because she focuses on topics that do not have a definitive interpretation, such as lightning, truth, and the infinite. Nevertheless, Dickinson explores these subjects, not for the purpose of seeking an answer, but for the sake of exploring them. It is because these subjects cannot be defined that Dickinson finds their exploration so essential and focuses on them in her poetry. When Dickinson writes on “indescribable” subject matter, it is not only the subject matter itself that creates a lack of certainty, but also the form that Dickinson uses to express these subjects. Dickinson manipulates poetic devices to increase the ambiguity in her poetry in order to parallel the ambiguous and uncertain natures of the subjects about which she writes. Although Dickinson uses a variety of poetic devices in her poetry, her use of imagery, enjambment, and dashes is particularly interesting when examining her poetry for ambiguity. Using each of these devices, Dickinson increases the uncertainty found in her already ambiguous subjects."

We presumably know in advance what the definiens symbolizes, and so we are led, via the definition, to understand what the definiendum symbolizes, this is how the definition assigns a meaning to its definiendumtwo arguments about definitions one is that since a definition is merely a rule that allows one set of words (the definiens) to be used in place of another set (the definiendum), definitions communicate no information at all about the subject matter of the definiendumsecond argument about definition since definitions result in a clarification of language, they provide a means for the discovery of deeper philosophical truths.stipulative definition assigns a meaning to a word for the first time."

Consider the following scenario:class A { public: void Foo () {} };class B: public A {};class C: public A {};class D: public B, public C {};The above class hierarchy results in the \"\"dreaded diamond\"\" which looks like this: A / \\ B C \\ /DAn instance of D will be made up of B, which includes A, and C which also includes A. So you have two \"\"instances\"\" (for want of a better expression) of A. When you have this scenario, you have the possibility of ambiguity. What happens when you do this: D d;d.

In this particular case, as today is Sunday, and the day after (which is a Monday) would most naturally be referred to as “tomorrow”, “next Monday” should logically refer to the one in the following week, I.e.

Some consume eggs and dairy products, while the strictest kind, vegans, eat no animal produce at all, including honey. Some people call themselves vegetarians, but they consume fish. It is not necessary to eat meat to get all the nutrients needed for good health. A person who chooses not to eat meat may enjoy better health, because they will eat more plant-based foods, and because they may be more active in making healthy choices. A vegetarian diet has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer, leading to a longer life expectancy. It may lead to weight loss. Around 5 percent of people in the United States describe themselves as vegetarian.

From the Thanksgiving turkey to the Fourth of July cookout, the typical American diet is definitely heavy on meat. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the average American eats 114 pounds per year of red meat, 67 pounds of poultry, and 15 pounds of fish. There are exceptions to this rule, however. According to a 2012 Gallup poll, about 5% of all Americans are vegetarians – people who consume no meat at all, or almost none. Vegetarians range from strict vegans, who eat no animal products of any kind, to “flexitarians,” who simply try to limit their meat intake as much as possible. Whatever the type, a vegetarian diet has its perks. Eating vegetarian is cheaper and more eco-friendly than the typical meat-heavy American diet, and there’s evidence it can improve your health as well.

But those pleas have fallen on deaf ears. It's time to start thinking differently about how to encourage Americans to make smarter food choices—and a fine place to start would be cutting the costs of healthy foods in our supermarket aisles. This is easier said than done. Americans don't enjoy being told to change what they eat. A majority of Americans do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. But we do manage to gulp down lots of so-called discretionary calories, especially added sugars and solid fats. So how can we help encourage Americans to put down the potato chips and pick up an apple? It turns out that the road to our stomachs may run through our wallets."

"text": "Wild potatoes were much smaller than modern potatoes Potatoes, like other flowering plants, evolved from earlier plants around 350 million years ago. They’re related to the poisonous plant nightshade, and also to tobacco, chili peppers, bell peppers, and tomatoes. The leaves of all these plants are poisonous, but you can eat the fruit of the peppers and tomatoes, and you can eat the roots of potato plants (Potato fruit looks like small green tomatoes, but it is poisonous). Wild potato plants in Peru Potato plants grow wild all over South America and as far north as Colorado and Nebraska in North America. About 15,000 years ago, when people first came to North America from Asia, they began to eat the potato roots and the roots of similar plants like camas and wapato that they found there. Inca people harvesting potatoes (De Ayala)Sometime around 8000 BC, in the Andes Mountains in South America, people began to farm potatoes as well as gathering them. Farmers bred the potatoes to gradually become bigger and taste better. Norte Chico people dug long irrigation canals to get water to potato fields. Potatoes were the main thing people ate in the Inca Empire.

This is NOT the type of snack I would recommend to anyone who is looking to feel energetic, lose weight and/or keep sugar and carb cravings at bay. The problem with eating a banana by itself (or any carbohydrate alone), is that because all carbohydrates—be it pasta, rice, cookies, crackers, even vegetables and fruits like the banana—turn into sugar the second they enter your bloodstream. This sets your body up for cravings, irritability, lack of focus and weight gain if you ride the blood sugar roller coaster long enough. The blood sugar roller coaster? Huh? I’m referring to the vicious cycle of spikes and drops in blood sugar levels that happens when following the Standard American Diet (SAD), an eating regimen consisting of high intake of carbohydrates with minimal healthy fats, and sporadic protein. Feeling great, having consistent energy levels, ability to focus, maintaining stable moods, feeling no cravings and even having a handle on weight maintenance and loss comes down to blood sugar regulation.

A Conversation with Nina Teicholzby Dr. Frank Lipman A conversation with investigative journalist, Nina Teicholz, author of THE BIG FAT SURPRISE: Why Butter, Meat & Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet. I love this book for many reasons, the most important being, that in it, Nina reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fats is wrong. Combining scientific rigor with riveting storytelling, she argues that more, not less fat—including the saturated fats in meat, dairy and eggs—is what leads to better health and weight loss. Dr L: How did you come to write this book? Nina: I was a faithful follower of the low-fat, near-vegetarian diet, but when I started writing a restaurant review column, I found myself eating things that had hardly ever before passed my lips: rich meals of pâté, beef, cream sauces and foie gras. To my surprise, I lost the 10 pounds that I hadn’t been able to shake for years, and to boot, my cholesterol levels improved. To understand how this could be possible, I embarked upon what became a decade of research, reexamining nearly every single nutrition study and interviewing most of our top nutrition experts. What I was shocked to find were egregious flaws in the science that has served as the foundation of our national nutrition policy, which for more than 50 years has all but forbidden these delicious and healthy foods. Dr L: You write, “ Almost nothing we commonly believe today about fats generally and saturated fats in particular, appears, upon close examination, to be accurate.”"

Thanks! ~ James Robins do eat immature pecans as well as lots of other foods in the fall and winter. After nesting season has ended, Robins usually form large nomadic groups that roost at night in the woods. Their diet changes from mostly worms and insects to fruit, nuts and berries. I was watching a group last night devouring our crab apples, Mountain Ash tree berries, tiny flowering pear tree fruit and under my feeders looking for peanuts and pecans. What robins eat can vary according to location too. But all Robins eat pecans, walnuts, acorns, apples, cherries, and dogwood fruit from trees and the berries of poison ivy, poison oak bayberries, blackberries, blueberries, greenbrier, honeysuckle, juneberries, juniper, madrone, mountain ash, mulberry, pokeberry, pyracantha, raspberry, sassafras, serviceberry, spiceberry, sumac, viburnum, and woodbine.

Migratory restlessness builds up as day length increases. Scientists call this \"\"zugunruhe,\"\" a German compound word consisting of Zug (move, migration) and Unruhe (anxiety, restlessness). Q. Why do robins migrate? A. Robins migrate because the ground freezes, locking them out from their favorite food, earthworms, and because winter weather makes it impossible to find juicy caterpillars and other insect food. Robins switch their diet to fruit in winter, but there is not enough fruit in the north to feed all the robins that live in the north all summer. That's why most robins move south. Q. How fast do robins fly during migration? A. Robins fly about 30 - 36 m.p.h."

During colder months where the insect population decreases, the birds will forage for berries or migrate to areas with more abundant food sources."

The series was to be rebooted under the title Dark Knight: Boy Wonder in 2011, when both Miller and Lee were to finish the last six issues. The series retells the origin story of Dick Grayson, who became Batman 's sidekick Robin. This was the first series to be launched in 2005 under DC's All Star imprint. These series are helmed by renowned writers and artists in the American comic book industry and attempt to retell some of the history of prominent DC Universe characters, but outside of DC Universe continuity, and not be restricted by it, in order to appeal to new and returning readers.

There is a vast variety of food these birds feed on and they are believed to be one of the highly opportunistic birds in that they ingest anything that comes in their way.

Our largest thrush is also unquestionably our most successful, breeding from Berkshire to Nantucket and everywhere in between. Overall, the number of robins in Massachusetts has increased greatly throughout this century. Suburban landscapes are very beneficial to robins, as both ornamental plantings and open green lawns provide an abundance of feeding and nesting habitat. Robins in Winter Many backyard birders are surprised to see this herald of spring hopping about in the depths of winter. Although many of our robins do migrate (hence the species name migratorius ), an increasing number of these red-breasted songsters are passing the winter in Massachusetts each year. Find out how robins survive the cold months Identification Both males and females are grey above and orange to brick-red below, and are of medium size (about 10” long). Their bills are yellow, and when a robin flies, it shows two small white tips at the corners of its dark tail. Very young robins will show a speckled breast rather than the adult red. Behavior Robins do most of their feeding and foraging on the ground, where they will run or hop for several short steps and then often assume an erect posture, always on the lookout for possible danger."

Of course, migrating birds, just passing through, can bring almost any species to your backyard, but given a food supply and the appropriate habitat, certain birds tend to show up fairly regularly during the year in Alabama backyards. Even though robins are not seen year round in backyards, most everyone recognizes the American Robin. This ground feeder is so well known that it is used by the authors of bird field guides as the median size bird. It is convenient to be able to describe a bird as larger or smaller than a robin. Another bird, which feeds mainly on the ground, is the Eastern Towhee. The towhee is sometimes confused with the robin, since like the robin it has reddish-orange color on its breast. However, the towhee is smaller and slenderer than the robin."

Company spokeswoman Chris Friesleben said Tuesday Hy-Vee's construction permits have been approved by the city of Bloomington, meaning demolition of the former K's Merchandise building can begin. “We just recently received the demolition permit, so that process should begin within the next two weeks. ... We’re not demolishing the whole structure, but there will be a major tear-down on the interior,” said Friesleben. “ We always tell people once you see activity in the area, you can start counting down the months. ”The demolition includes tearing down the front of the building but leaving the other three walls in place. The front will be rebuilt, and look like a new building. After the demolition is complete, crews will begin remodeling the inside, said Friesleben, adding hiring will begin a few months after construction progress is made. Hy-Vee will hire as many as 600 full- and part-time employees by the time it opens after 10 to 12 months of construction. About 95,000 square feet of the former K's building at 1407 N. Veterans Parkway will be used, with storage planned for the rest of the space."

The Welsh called him Pwca, which is pronounced the same as his Irish incarnation Phouka, Pooka or Puca. These are far from his only names. Parallel words exist in many ancient languages - puca in Old English, puki in Old Norse, puke in Swedish, puge in Danish, puks in Low German, pukis in Latvia and Lithuania -- mostly with the original meaning of a demon, devil or evil and malignant spirit ... Because of this similarity it is uncertain whether the original puca sprang from the imaginative minds of the Scandinavians, the Germans or the Irish.-Gillian Edwards, Hobgoblin and Sweet Puck p.143Indeed, Pouk was a typical medieval term for the devil. For example, Langland once called Hell \"\"Pouk's Pinfold.\"\" And the Phouka was sometimes pictured as a frightening creature with the head of an ass. Truly a devil to behold. The Welsh Pwca also did not match our modern conception of dainty tinkerbell fairies. According to Louise Imogen Guiney, a peasant drew the Pwca as \"\"a queer little figure, long and grotesque, and looked something like a chicken half out of his shell\"\".

These are made up of essential and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids mean that they should be an essential part of your diet as they are not naturally produced by our bodies. Non-essential amino acids are naturally produced by our bodies so you don’t need to consume them. There are 8 different types of essential amino acids, so there are 12 different types of non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids play many different roles in your body including controlling insulin, and maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. They are the basic building blocks of the human body. A deficiency in amino acids can lead to reduced energy levels and metabolism, skin and hair loss, digestive problems, sleeping disorders, stress, and poor health in general. Getting all the required essential amino acids also helps to control obesity and malnutrition, and also helps to remove waste from the bloodstream."

This can be toxic if not removed. In the urea cycle, liver cells convert ammonia into urea, a waste product eliminated by your kidneys -- ornithine is central to this process and gives the cycle its alternate name, the ornithine cycle. When a problem develops and ornithine can't participate effectively in the urea cycle, potentially serious conditions can result, including one called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.

According to this article, from the Journal of Nutrition: BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), particularly leucine, have anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein degradation in resting human muscle. Also, during recovery from endurance exercise, BCAAs were found to have anabolic effects in human muscle. That is, BCAA's may stimulate muscle growth. According to this article, timing is important: Leucine can stimulate muscle protein synthesis for a short period, but with chronic supplementation, the body quickly adapts, and muscle protein synthesis returns to normal after 2 hours. This well-cited blog post summarizing the latest research on BCAA's reports that BCAA supplementation has been shown to decrease muscle fatigue and soreness during running, as well as increasing the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and decreasing muscle damage during athletic training. However, the author cites a study that reports that supplementing with casein and whey protein works better for resistance training than supplementing with BCAA's. It is worth noting that you don't have to get BCAA's from supplements, they occur naturally in protein-containing foods."

Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins D, E, A and K, are stored in your body to be used when you need them."

Benefits and Uses For Bodybuilding Dosage Side Effects Taking Methionine Safely Methionine is an essential amino acid that is necessary for the human body to function properly. This particular amino acid cannot be synthesized by the body, so it must be obtained through dietary intake only. Methionine may be consumed from various food sources, and it is also available in the form of a supplement. Methionine benefits are purported to include support for liver health, antioxidant effects, improved collagen synthesis, immune system support and mood support. According to the Natural Medicines Database, this supplement may be used for a variety of different purposes, ranging from schizophrenia to liver problems. L-Methionine is also used as a chelator for detoxification and is taken by bodybuilders to support athletic performance and muscle growth. Although the United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved methionine for the treatment of any medical ailment, some research studies have indicated that methionine may be effective for certain purposes.

"text": "Considering the thousands of dietary supplements on the market today, what should you be using at your age to most effectively aid in the muscle and strength building process...and stay healthy in the process? Teens have many reasons for trying to gain muscle, lose fat, and become stronger and in better overall physical condition. Whether you want to just look good for the opposite sex or for personal satisfaction, or you’d like to get big and strong for sport participation, the correct dietary supplement plan can help. That said, you should always keep in mind that regular and proper exercise training is of primary importance, as is appropriate whole food intake. At the same time, you should strive to avoid the peer pressure to get involved in alcohol and recreational drug use, both of which can significantly impair your strength and physique transformation progress. Do teens need dietary supplements? No. You can obtain great results just by working out hard (and smart) and eating a good quality whole food diet. Many people have done this over the years and you can as well. However, with recent advancements in nutrition science, it is very likely that selected dietary supplements will help you achieve the desired results that you seek sooner or allow you to go beyond what might be obtained with exercise and whole food alone."

I enjoyed reading the wonderful comments all of you left on my post. On the second Monday of each month, I’m going to aim to address readers’ questions about the Amish. Today I’m going to talk a bit about what the Amish wear and why they choose to dress the way they do. The topic of Amish clothing can be a complicated one. As we’ve discussed before, Plain Amish and Mennonites come from many different sects. Each group has its own patterns and however slight those differences may appear to us, I’ve witnessed time and again how those slight changes in style or fabric are very distinguishing to them. But the similarities can make it difficult to generalize on this topic, so bear in mind that what’s true of the clothing for one group may not be true of another."

Thus, the number of baptized adult church members is likely about 143,300. Q: Where do they live? A: They live in 31 states, the Canadian provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, and the South American countries of Argentina and Bolivia. Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) live in three states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. See Population 2017 for a detailed listing.

Typically, the Amish use the German Martin Luther version, particularly for church readings. For an English version, the most favored translation is the King James edition (KJV). Some Amish use the New International Version (NIV) as well. Often, the Bible Amish read in the home will have a dual format-German on one side of the page, English on the other. Amish use the King James Version of the Bible Amish speak Pennsylvania German, English, and have varying degrees of fluency in High German. So an English translation can be useful. When I visit Amish friends in Pennsylvania, I sometimes get asked to read a chapter after breakfast. Since I speak no German the English comes in handy. I sold Bible-oriented books in Amish communities over four years, which is how I first met the Amish."

Amish may be more likely to get involved when voting involves issues which directly affect them, such as zoning. Amish generally do not vote for a few reasons. Why don’t most Amish participate in political elections? For one, Amish follow a “Two Kingdoms” theology, which holds that there exist both a material and a spiritual kingdom. While respecting worldly governments, Amish feel that Christians should adhere to the laws of the spiritual kingdom above all. Though Amish are highly law-abiding, they view the material kingdom as worldly and traditionally limit interaction within it. Amish believe in non-resistance, and may be hesitant to take part in electing a politician who may use force as an agent of the state. Amish do not hold political office themselves, for similar reasons."

Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Who are the Amish, and what are their beliefs?\"\" Answer: The Amish are a group of people who follow the teachings of Jacob Ammann, a 17th-century citizen of Switzerland. It is a Protestant denomination, closely related to the Mennonites. The Amish, most of whom live in the United States, follow simple customs and refuse to take oaths, vote, or perform military service. They shun modern technology and conveniences. Transportation for the Amish is by horse and buggy. They do not have electricity or telephones in their homes. The men usually wear beards and pants with buttons instead of zippers. The women wear white head coverings and plain dresses, usually without buttons—they use straight pins to fasten the clothing."

Standing beside a corner banquette in the Grill Room — the prime power seat in a restaurant that, fully 54 years after Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson designed it, has yielded none of its luster to time — Mr. Niccolini put his hand on the shoulder of a shy, smallish man with a lantern jaw, a John Glenn crew cut and a suit that looked as though the laundry had shrunk it with him inside. “This man is a king,” Mr. Niccolini said, referring to Thom Browne, one of the most celebrated fashion designers few Americans had ever heard of up until a week earlier. It was then that Michelle Obama selected from an array of specially commissioned designer offerings a subtly checkered, navy silk coat and dress by Mr. Browne to wear to her husband’s inauguration. And in that lightning-strike moment it seemed as if Mr. Browne — an award winning but largely cult figure — had after more than a decade vaulted from influential semi-obscurity into the limelight and the American mainstream. “ I wanted it to be this distinct American style that people around the world could look to,” Mr. Browne said of Mrs. Obama’s dress."

S. with a new settlement founded nearly once a month according to a new report. With a population doubling in size approximately every 21 years, the census report by researchers at Ohio State University shows that more than 60 per cent of the current communities were founded after 1990. ' The Amish are one of the fastest-growing religious groups in North America,' Ohio State rural sociology professor Joe Donnermeyer who completed the census said in a statement. Here we come! The Amish population in the U. S. is spreading faster than most other religious communities with a new settlement founded nearly once a month‘They're doubling their population about every 21 to 22 years, primarily because they produce large families and the vast majority of daughters and sons remain in the community as adults baptized into the faith, starting their own families and sustaining their religious beliefs and practices,’ Dr Donnermeyer said. At the report's completion, presented at the annual meeting of the Rural Sociological Society in Chicago on Thursday, there are currently 456 Amish settlements composed of 250,784 members throughout the U. S. and Ontario, Canada. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next City forced to remove cross from their logo after... A mass shooting happens every FIVE days in America:... Share this article That's up from 179 settlements - defined in the report as having at least three households that includes members able to conduct a church service - last seen in 1990. By 2050 the census predicts the population will exceed 1 million Amish and 1,000 settlements, having economic, cultural, social and religious effects to the communities' surrounding areas. Boom: The growth is attributed to large families raising their own children in the same faith, unlike other religious groups expanded by converts The Amish are predicted by the researchers to buy farmers' vacated land for expansion until exhausting the availability. ' This means many Amish men will likely look for nonfarm jobs such as woodworking and construction trades, which could affect land prices and potentially enhance local economies through the establishment of business startups,' a press release for the report stated."

Neckbeards are commonly associated with hipster stereotypes and Internet addicts who frequent websites like 4chan and Reddit. Origin The earliest known online use of the term “neckbeard” can be found in a Wackbag Forums [3] post by member SOS on August 24th, 2003, in which he asks if the facial hairstyle is considered “ugly or sexy. ”Precursor The neckbeard facial hairstyle, sometimes referred to as the portmanteau “neard,” has been traditionally associated with male members of the Amish Mennonite Christian church fellowship (shown below). Amish men do not shave their beards after becoming married, but are forbidden to grow mustaches due to its association with the military.

Since the death of their eponym Jakob Hutter in 1536, the beliefs of the Hutterites, especially living in a community of goods and absolute pacifism, have resulted in hundreds of years of diaspora in many countries. They embarked on a series of migrations through central and eastern Europe. Nearly extinct by the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hutterites found a new home in North America. Over 130 years, their population recovered from 400 to around 45,000. Today, most Hutterites live in Western Canada and the upper Great Plains of the United States.

There is no reliable way to know what happens to an email once it leaves your client. One technique for confirming an email is read is to include an html image tag (usually hidden) that references an image on a server in your control. If the image is opened, this means the email is opened. However, most email clients block the opening of remote images precisely for this reason - privacy takes precedence. So it does not ensure you are notified. If this is a service you require, then the email would need to be sent using a service in your control. One option would be something like Secure FTP."

Closing your account will not stop spam that looks like it came from the account; hackers often fake the “From:” address whether or not the account exists. Closing your account will not stop your contacts from “being bothered”; if they had even brief access to your contact list, the spammers have probably already made a copy.

Tellers are considered to be the front-line staff of all banking institutions, which means the job description also includes answering questions from customers, counting cash, and keeping detailed records of all transactions electronically. Not only does the profession require expertise in accounting and finances, but also solid communication and personal interface skills. Salary How much does a bank teller make? According to the May 2012 records from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 541,770 full-time bank tellers employed nationwide earned a mean annual salary of $25,790, or a mean hourly wage of $12.40. The bottom ten percent earned as little as $19,630, while the top ten percent brought home as much as $34,320 annually. Part-time bank tellers earned the same average hourly wages, with the lowest tenth percentile earning an average of $9.10 and the highest making $15.70 an hour. However, part-time tellers only work from a minimum of one hour up to 34 hours each week, earning between $12.00 and $408.00 weekly. The majority of tellers, around 90 percent, worked for depository banks and earned an annual income slightly higher than average at $25,830."

"text": "\"Answer by Andy Ketter Confidence votes 233I work in marketing at Answers.com. I love technology, hockey, football, and wine. Graduated from SUNY Buffalo with a BS in Comp Sci Pathological liars - or \"\"mythomaniacs\"\" - are people who engage in objectively puposeless story telling behavior. The stories they tell are not the products of delusions and serve no external purpose other than to inflate the value of the teller in the eyes of the listener. The actual existence of mythomania separate from other diagnoses as a symptom set is a controversial topic in the mental health field. The symptom set for Mythomania is strictly limited: 1) The subject is not delusional and the stories they tell are at least technically plausible. If the subject is actually delusional, a diagnosis of a condition with psychotic features is more appropriate. 2) The tendency to construct such stories is non-transient, and long lasting. The story telling behavior is an actual personality trail. 3) The tendency is clearly non-situational and the subjects motives are objectively internal."

"text": "Debit cards and ATMs allow you to easily access the money in your checking account to pay for everyday purchases. In this section, we'll explain how they work. Debit Cards A debit card, sometimes called a check card (because it is similar to a check in that it allows you to access the money in your checking account), functions much like a credit card. It has a 16-digit number, four-digit expiration date, Visa or Master Card logo on the front on the front, and three-digit security code on the back. It can be used like a credit card for purchases, with the major difference being that the money comes out of your account right away – you don't have the option of paying off your purchases later with a debit card as you do with a credit card. A debit card is useful for making purchases when you want the convenience of plastic (as opposed to cash or checks), but the savings of paying immediately with money you actually have – instead of accruing a balance on a credit card that you may not be able to pay off in full by the due date to avoid interest charges. ( For more insight, see Credit, Debit and Charge: Sizing Up the Cards in Your Wallet . ) How are debit cards related to automated teller machines (ATMs)? Debit cards allow you to withdraw cash from your checking account through an ATM. To access your money this way, you'll need to use a personal identification number (PIN) that you establish when you open your account."

As some of you may know, I work offshore, and I am currently at the beginning of a 4 week long hitch. A check came in for me at my house that I would like to get deposited into my personal checking account, so that the funds are available to me electronically. My boyfriend is willing to go down and deposit it for me at a local bank branch, but obviously I am not there to endorse it for deposit. He talked to a friend that said all we have to do is write \"\"For Deposit Only: \"\" and then my account number, and he'll be able to deposit it into my account for me by walking into a local branch. Does this sound right to you? Has anyone ever done this before? It is a fairly large check so it might raise some eyebrows, but it is made out to me, and we are trying to deposit it into my personal checking account, so I think it should be ok.

To call them comedians is to ignore the elaborate, fascinating, seemingly death-defying tricks they pull off with apparent ease. No one else does what Penn & Teller do: put together painstakingly rehearsed stunts and tricks, and package those tricks with hilariously caustic, cynical humor. The duo's richly deserved popularity has led to numerous TV appearances (talk shows, a prime-time ABC special last fall, a variety show on FX premiering this summer), successful tours (the duo resides in Las Vegas, where it's a major draw, and plays two weeks in Chicago in the first half of June), and even a movie, 1988's Penn & Teller Get Killed.

A hold time refers to how long the check will be placed on hold, and banks use many factors to determine this, including your account history and account balances. The actual time of how long it will take for the check to clear won’t stray too far from the expected time presented on the deposit receipt. You can expect the funds to be available as indicated on the slip, which is usually 1 to 2 business days, at most, unless it is a significant amount. This receipt was from Chase for a deposit that was made."

"text": "Salary for a Bank Teller Ever wonder how much a bank teller earns? A bank teller's salary can vary depending on where they live as well as their experience. Of course, someone with little or no work experience will make less than a person who has customer service and cash handling experience. Someone who has previously worked as a teller will make more than someone with no banking experience but some customer service and cash handling experience. Bottom line, the more experience you have, the higher the bank teller salary you can expect to make. The Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2010-2011 indicates the average annual salary for a bank teller to be $23,610. This is $11.36 an hour. This data is based on stats from May of 2008. Where you live can also make a big difference on your bank teller salary. If you live in an area where the cost of living is high, you can expect to earn more money to offset the high cost of living."

The treat to be baked inside: alkaan (Navajo cake). According to the apron-wearing ladies who huddled beneath the tent a few feet away from the fire pit, alkaan is typically made during a kinaaldá - the morphing ceremony when a young Diné girl crosses over to womanhood - and is made a certain way followed by songs and prayers. Both the cake and ceremony represent Changing Woman, who was the first to have her kinaaldá. However, there are different ways to make a Navajo cake, and different reasons. Darlene Teller, from Chilchinbito, Ariz., demonstrated one way that the Diné treat can be made during the 4th annual Life Preservation Summit, held July 18-20 at Wheatfields Lake. Teller, who works at Chilchinbito Community School as a language and culture teacher, said that the fire pit must be started at least the night before and if done in the wintertime the fire may need to burn for a couple of nights. But due to unexpected rain that poured through the area the fire took longer than expected to heat up the pit."

My daughter, Dena Marie Head, has worked for Regions West Memphis, AR for seven years. Today she was abruptly fired for poor customer service due to an incident on Sept 26,2012. She was at the drive up window alone. She was helping a customer in lane 2. A car pulled up into lane 3 and started continuously pushing the call button. My daughter asked lane 3 to please wait, she would help her as soon as she finished lane 2 customer. Lane 3 customer got out of her car and walked up to the window, cussing my daughter with finger waving. When my daughter finished lane 2, she went to get the head teller to help her with the irrate lane 3. ("

"text": "Related Articles1Important Things to Do at an Interview for a Bank Teller2How to Be the Most Efficient Bank Teller3What Is the Responsibility of a Bank Teller?4A List of the Qualities of a Bank Teller As with any consumer operation, banks rely on managers, accountants and computer technicians to keep their facilities running. However, unique to the industry are tellers who perform financial transactions with customers. Most work full time from Monday through Friday. Some work Saturdays or extended hours if their branches are located in retail operations, such as grocery stores. Duties of a Teller Bank tellers handle deposits, withdrawals and other routine financial interactions with customers. They accept, count and disburse cash, enter information into computers, and answer inquiries about services. They must ensure that their cash drawers balance at the beginning and end of the workday. Because they maintain responsibility for the money that flows into and out of their stations, they must verify customer identities in certain situations, either through government-issued identification cards, or through signatures. Part of the teller’s job is to tell customers about their institutions’ additional financial products, such as certificates of deposit or car loans. Training to Be a Teller A high school diploma is the minimum requirement for teller positions, and employers look for evidence of basic math skills and familiarity with customer service."

"text": "\"Molluscs of Australia Cephalopods - Nautilus Nautilus are tmembers of the Cephalopods. Their scientific name is Nautilidae. There are six liivng species which have survived relatively unchanged for millions of years and are often considered \"\"living fossils\"\". Distribution of Nautiluses They are found on the deep slopes of coral reefs. Nautiluses usually inhabit depths of about 300 metres, rising to around 100 metres at night to feed, mate and to lay eggs. The Chambered Nautilus (60 secs) The Chambered Nautilus ( Nautilus pompilius) is the best known species of nautilus. Nautiluses are slow-moving predators that feed mainly on shrimp, small fish and crustaceans, which are captured using their tentacles. They only need to eat once a month because they use very little energy to swim. To swim the nautilus draws water into and out of the shell with its funnel, this produces jet propulsion. Unlike the other Cephalopods, they have an external shell which provides protection and spaces that can be filled with air to adjust their buoyancy."

Although it is frequently confused for a mollusc because of its hard outer shell, it is actually a crustacean, closely related to crabs and lobsters. Blowfish are part of the Tetraodontidae family and are found in tropical waters near the coastal areas or deep within the sea. There are more than 100 species of blowfish, which grow on average from 3 to 20 inches long, though some species may reach 3 feet. Blowfish are lethal to humans, as they contain tetrodotoxin and/or saxitoxin. As of April 2010, there is no known antidote for the toxin of the blowfish. Bristlemouths are well camouflaged. When deep sea animals look up toward the ocean’s surface, they see other animals overhead as dark shapes against a lighter background. But by lighting two rows of photophores on its underside, this deep sea fish avoids casting its shadow on predators below––and can virtually disappear. Lined Chiton is a very colorful species, having blue, purple or black straight or zigzag lines on each of the eight valves."

This factor, and the implications of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, suggested the need for long-range submarine \"\"cruisers\"\", or \"\"strategic scouts\"\", as well as long-range minelayers, for which long endurance, not high speed, was most important. The design was possibly influenced by the German \"\"U-cruisers\"\" of the Type U-139 and Type U-151 U-boat classes, although V-4, V-5, and V-6 were all larger than these. A raised gun platform was provided around the conning tower, and deck stowage for spare torpedoes was included under the platform and in the superstructure."

"text": "\"By Ryan D'Agostino Aug 4, 2015Ben Sklar September 1, 1985, 1:05 a.m., the North Atlantic Robert Ballard is belowdecks on the R/V Knorr, a 279-foot research vessel owned by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, staring at a bank of screens. He wears a blue cap and a blue shirt and his face is lit by the humming blue glow of the monitors. At forty-three he has completed more than seventy expeditions as an oceanographic explorer and discovered sprawling geologic phenomena, entire species, whole undersea worlds no one knew existed. And now this. Thirteen thousand feet below him, Argo, an underwater search vehicle equipped with a video camera, has captured images of craters—craters that would be inexplicable outside the context of this expedition. Ballard has long been trying to find the wreck of the RMS Titanic. So many men have come looking for the unsinkable boat since it sank in 1912 that Ballard has a decent idea where the massive ship is not. Where it actually came to rest on the ocean floor is a much more difficult proposition. Not so much a needle in a haystack as a needle in a haystack at the bottom of the ocean. In his explorations he has found important vessels, and he will go on to find many more, any one of which would constitute a major find, the capstone of a career."

He wants to leave it undisturbed so that it will become greater. This is juxtaposition with the Nautilus. The longer the vessel remains undiscovered the more powerful it becomes. Like the Nautilus, pearls have different kinds of power. Like Land, many men are interested in the financial gain they promise; like the divers, many risk and lose their lives in pursuit of the pearls. However, the peals also have an aesthetic value. For this value, Aronnax prizes them. Similarly, the Nautilus is used for good and evil. Through their experiences on the ship, Captain Nemo and Aronnax will be able to significantly contribute to the scientific community and benefit mankind."

The Kayfun V5 sets the bar pretty high and has an almost cult like following. The Kayfun V5 is designed and built in Germany and you know how the Germans are about their machining. You can be confident in the fact that all the tolerances on this vape tank are tight and it uses nothing but the finest materials. The build deck on the Kayfun will only accommodate single coils. You have the choice to build that single coil high or low, but midrange builds are preferred on this one. While the Kayfun is primarily a MTL tank, it does have an adjustable airflow ring that allows you to get a really nice restrictive lung hit. When the airflow ring is turned to the left you get a really tight cigarette type of draw. When you turn the airflow ring to the right, you get a very restricted direct lung hit. The Kayfun V5 comes with a thermally regulated drip tip as well as a quartz and stainless steel glass section."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Arthropods Insects Wasps and Hornets Are snails insects? Flag Are snails insects? Answer by Rosie.wenger Confidence votes 5.5KNo, snails are in the animal group called mollusks. This group includes, slugs, clams, oysters, octopuses, sea slugs, cuttlefish, squid and the nautilus. What makes these animals mollusks and not insects is the fact that they are soft bodied with either one large foot, or multiple tentacles, and have a shell, or a remnant of a shell inside they're body. They also have a mantle and some have a radula, which is a small curved mouth with a rough inside that is used to scape off plant material to eat.15 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Mollusks Other shell types Seashells are an important part of biological and geological beach processes as well as an important part of human culture. The organisms that produce the shells provide huge quantities of food for animals including people forming the basis of a multi-billion dollar portion of the global commercial fishing industry. Seashells are a major source of organic deposits to the seafloor and make up the majority of limestones and chalks. Culturally, people have collected shells for millennia for a wide variety of uses; European explorers travelling to West Africa were surprised to find the cowrie shells (see photo below) being exchanged as money instead of the silver or gold to which they were accustomed. Additionally, native people all over the world have used seashells for basins, tubs, buckets, lamps, and cutting tools. But to the average beachgoer today, shells represent a major point of interest for trips to the coast."

Now, the future has come to take a closer look. From July 6 to 14, the 211-foot research ship Exploration Vessel Nautilus conducted dives to the final resting places of the American steamer SS Robert E. Lee and the German U-boat U-166, about 45 miles south of the Mississippi River delta. The Robert E. Lee was torpedoed by the U-166 while ferrying victims of other U-boat attacks from Trinidad to New Orleans. The sub succumbed to depth charges fired from an escort ship. These doomed ships are now separated by only two miles of seabed. The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust, a research group founded in 2008 for the purpose of carrying out \"\"pure ocean exploration,\"\" according to the group's website. The ship carries 17 permanent crew members and a rotating, 31-member Corps of Exploration composed of scientists, engineers and other special personnel. It also holds two remotely operated vehicles, Hercules and Argus, which collect data and samples from deep beneath the ocean's surface. The purpose of the Nautilus' mission to the twin shipwrecks was to perform forensic archeological documentation to more clearly understand their demises, said Ocean Exploration Trust spokeswoman Susan Poulton."

Apparently they did do it though because she seems to be better. Some cats have routine problems with their anal glands and need to have them expressed periodically. I'd take her to a vet and mention that she was just treated for this problem by the groomer. Ask if it's normal for her to look like that still, but if she needs to be treated again your vet can show you at that time how it's done. If she has problems in the future you'll know how to do it yourself. If that's just too disgusting for you you can just take her back to the vet or a groomer, but it would be good to know how to do it if it was a holiday or you couldn't get to a vet right away and she was really having problems. Very chronic problems are occasionally treated by surgically removing the anal glands."

"text": "Cat Health What Causes a Cat to Pull Out Its Fur & What You Can Do to Stop It?by Jane Williams Some cats take grooming too far and pull their own hair out due to stress. Fastidiously clean, cats spend a good portion of their time awake licking and grooming themselves. This innate behavior can cross the line from cleanliness to obsession, though, in which case you might start to notice bald spots on your kitty. Stopping the behavior requires uncovering its underlying cause. Psychogenic Alopecia Contrary to how it may seem, your cat hasn't suddenly decided he would rather be a member of the hairless sphynx breed. Compulsive hair-pulling is called psychogenic alopecia, which essentially means your cat is yanking out his hair by the mouthful because something is bothering him psychologically. This could include life changes such as moving to new quarters or gaining a new family member or pet, or other changes in his routine. Grooming is a means cats use to calm themselves in times of stress and anxiety, but some cats take this relaxation technique too far. The behavior eventually evolves from a way to relieve anxiety to a totally compulsive action that is performed more and more frequently. The cat simply cannot help himself."

A further layer is formed from the basal layer called the spinous layer or stratum spinosum. The basal and spinous layers are termed the Malphigian layer, the cells of which then divide to produce the granular layer or stratum granulosum. As the cells of the granular layer differentiate and keratinise, they form the outer cornified layer or stratum corneum . Structure and Function Epidermis Monkey epidermis showing the layers present. ©RVC2008The epidermis is a stratified squamous epithelium and is composed of 4 cell layers anchored to a basal lamina of connective tissue.

In truth, experts estimate they spend about 15 percent of their time grooming but since they’re asleep 15 hours a day, it seems like a nonstop activity. Feline fastidiousness in maintaining a shiny coat isn’t just pride; it’s a healthy habit with built-in benefits. Watch a cat in the act of grooming, and you’ll see how he’s treating himself to a bath and massage, as well as gauging his body’s comfort level. He may chew at an old claw, removing it to reveal a new nail underneath. Then he may lick his paws. What are the secrets to a cat’s grooming success? Why Cats Groom Themselves When cats wash down their coats, they’re not only cleaning their fur, they’re regulating their body temperatures. Feline sweat glands, in their faces, anal areas and paw pads, do not cool off cats much. But when they deposit saliva on their coats, the evaporation keeps them cool in hot weather."

The remainder of the stool consists of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs, the fermentation by-products of the gut bacteria), some bile salts/acids that were not recirculated, shed gut wall cells from that high cellular turnover, mucous from the gut wall (sometimes visible), and anything from the diet that was nondigestible/nonabsorbable/nonfermentable."

"text": "They're not the stuff of dinner party conversations, but knowing how to spot a problem could save your dog a lot of misery. Picture the scene. You've just washed your dog from top to tail using the finest shampoo and conditioner money can buy, but even after drying him, the same horrible fishy odour you noticed pre-groom is still lingering in your poor nostrils. Sound familiar? ' So where's it coming from?' you wonder - even though most of you have probably guessed by now that your dog's smelly anal glands are the culprits here. What are anal glands? Anal glands (or anal sacs) are relatively small glands found on either side of your dog's anal opening. Not present in humans, they are paired sacs located precisely just below the surface of the skin between the external and internal sphincter muscles, employed by nature to produce a particularly thick, foul smelling, oily liquid secreted by glandular tissue for identification and territory marking. This is the reason dogs smell other dogs' bottoms when they meet and greet, standing tense with tails erect to swap their own unique smells (rather like individual fingerprints)."

"text": "The Daily Vet is a blog featuring veterinarians from all walks of life. Every week they will tackle entertaining, interesting, and sometimes difficult topics in the world of animal medicine – all in the hopes that their unique insights and personal experiences will help you to understand your pets. < Previous Post Next Post >Mar 25, 2013How To... Express a Dog's Anal Glandsby Dr. Jennifer Coates I’m going to start a new occasional “How to” series today. Every so often (whenever the mood strikes), I’ll write a post on how owners can perform various procedures at home, with the hopes of saving you some money and time. These are things that don’t necessarily require the involvement of a veterinarian, and they are things that owners have asked me to teach them in the past. First up … expressing a dog’s anal glands. Looking from behind at a pet’s rear-end, one gland is located at approximately five o’clock and the other at seven o’clock around the anal opening. The glands produce a “fragrant” (foul-smelling) fluid that plays a role in scent marking. In health, a small amount of this fluid is released from the sacs located in the middle of the glands when a pet defecates. However, dogs and, very rarely, cats can develop problems (e.g., obesity, soft stools, and anatomic variations) with their anal glands or surrounding tissues that impede the ability of the fluid be released normally."

Erskine El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011Coccidia is a type of enteric infection cause by a type of parasite that is found in the digestive system of dogs and cats. Under a microscope, the coccidia oocysts can be seen which have been separated from the dog or cats stool. Coccidia can be difficult to treat and may need a different type of medication or a longer dose. Usually, 14 days of continuous treatment with an approved medication is all that is needed. After 14 days, if your pet is still having watery, loose or bloody stool you should contact your veterinarian again for another fecal and further treatment."

"text": "Blood in Cat Stool (Hematochezia) – Bright Red Blood in Stools Causes Other symptoms to watch for Diagnosis Treatment At a glance: About: Bright red blood either through or on the outside of feces is known as hematochezia. It is a sign of bleeding in the lower intestines (colon and rectum). Causes: It has many causes including tumours (benign and cancerous), colitis, bacterial, viral or parasitic infection, blood clotting disorders, anal gland rupture, and polyps. Diagnosis: Thorough physical examination along with baseline tests including complete blood count, biochemical profile and urinalysis. Additional tests may include imaging, fecal exam, biopsy, colonoscopy and coagulation profiles. Treatment: Depends on the underlying cause. It is always alarming when we discover blood in your cat’s stool but in a lot of cases, the cause is minor and transient. Blood in the cat’s stool may be light, with just a smear or speck or heavy and it may be with or without accompanying symptoms. Melena – Tarry black stools are associated with upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum but bleeding may also originate from the nose or mouth. The blood is broken down by bacteria in the stomach before moving to the lower intestinal tract and out of the anus."

Would you happen to know why or what is causing this? By: Erika Raines El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011If you are able to bathe your dog and rid her of the metallic odor, then it is likely some material that she is encountering outside. If this is the case, you should carefully survey any outdoor area she has access to as whatever is causing this smell may be dangerous to her. If you are unable to wash the odor off of her, this may be the first sign that she has an organ problem. While we generally do not diagnose health problems based on changes in odor, these changes can be a clue that something in the body is functioning differently.

By: Erika Raines El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011The usual treatment for a split toe nail is to cut the nail off to the level of the paw and allow it to grow a new nail. This is a very painful procedure and results in large amount of bleeding, so it is not something you should attempt at home. If the nail is not split to the level of the quick, you can cut the nail above the split and below the quick for the same result with little pain and probably no bleeding. However if the nail is split farther up than the quick, your best option is to let your veterinarian treat it. He or she will be able to apply medications to stop the pain and apply compounds to stop the bleeding after the nail has been removed. Sorry, the browser you are using is not currently supported.

Carbohydrates serve as an energy source, and as a source of dietary fiber. Most commercial dry dog foods contain between 30% and 70% carbohydrates; cat foods usually have a lower level than dog foods. If we examine the diets of the wild canines and felines that most closely resemble our domestic pets, we recognize that the wild relatives do eat some carbohydrates through the consumption of the intestinal contents of their prey. However, it would rarely constitute even 10% of their diet. Your dog can consume large quantities of protein and then convert that protein into energy and muscle."

"text": "The Nile's Impact on Ancient Egypt Prev NEXTCirca 1900: The pyramids at Giza on the banks of the River Nile, built by the ancient Egyptians to house the bodies of their pharaohs. Hulton Archive/ Getty Images Although most historians and geographers find it difficult to agree on many aspects of the Nile, including its length and source, virtually everyone acknowledges that Ancient Egypt could never have existed without the great body of water. Egypt, known to many as the home of the Great Pyramids, the Great Sphinx and other marvels of the ancient world, isn't ideally located for advanced civilization. Other than the Nile, Egypt is surrounded by tons of sand, which isn't exactly conducive to agriculture and other cornerstones of civilization. Fortunately for the Egyptians, they knew just how to finesse the Nile and its capabilities to turn what would appear to be a barren wasteland into a thriving empire. A consistent freak act of nature allowed the Egyptians to harness the capabilities of the Nile River. While the majority of Egypt was and still is covered with the aforementioned sand, the river basin next to the Nile boasts wildlife and fertile soils. This is all due to the predictable rise and fall of the Nile's water levels each year, known as inundation (rise) and relinquishment (fall). During the inundation period, which takes place sometime around July, water would rise and fill canals made by Egyptian laborers. Sometime around the end of October, the river would begin to recede, leaving rich silt deposits."

The Nile is a big river. It starts in the rain forest south of Ethiopia, south of Egypt, near the A at the end of the word Africa on this map, and it flows north into the Mediterranean Sea.

"text": "\"The Nile and the British road to imperialism The British saw themselves as guardians of the Nile and the results of their ambitious plans can still be seen today.12 Jun 2011 14:33 GMT | Politics, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan By Terje Tvedt When the British took control of Egypt in 1882 they very soon realised that they had become rulers of a society [that] was totally dependent upon the Nile. So they understood from the very beginning that the economic stability, economic development and political stability of Egypt depended on Nile control. They also understood that in order to improve their own position within Egypt, they had to prove to the people of Egypt that they were able to provide water to them. From quite early on, the British also decided to - in a way - transform Egypt into a cotton farm for the textile industry ... in England. They [also] understood that in the long run, it might be very useful for London to have control over the Nile upstream of Egypt. So, if need would arise, then they would have a potential power against Egyptian nationalism. I think that this - well it is a quite complex relationship between the hydrology of the Nile, the emerging water crisis of Egypt in [the] 1880s/1890s, regional power relations and the British strategy. All these combined to create what I call [the] British road to imperialism of the 1890s. Talking about the Nile In the 1890s, there was a growing awareness in Egypt that there was a water crisis coming. The gap between the demand [for] water and supply of water increased."

"text": "Egyptian Influence on Ancient Medicine Posted on March 3, 2014 by dollingch The Ancient Egyptians had a vast collection of medical knowledge that influenced neighboring cultures and future nations. This paper aims to answer the question: How did Ancient Egyptian medicine influence other ancient kingdoms’ medical knowledge and treatment? This influence is most evident in Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, and the Roman territories. This paper will cover these nations, how this influence possibly occurred, and what has remained until the present day. Mesopotamia had many influences from Ancient Egyptian medicine. Mesopotamia, including both Assyria and Babylonia, had a large drug inventory. Over five hundred drugs have been discovered in Mesopotamian medicine ( Wischik, 1998) . With a pharmacy this large, Mesopotamia did trading with Egypt and other kingdoms in the region. “Some of the medicines were made from plant materials imported from abroad. Mandrake (e.g. p Hearst 109, 168, 185 [ 57]), introduced from Canaan and grown locally since the New Kingdom, was thought to be an aphrodisiac and, mixed with alcohol, induced unconsciousness."

"text": "\"Egyptian Walking Onionsby Susanne Talbert (art_n_garden) May 19, 2009Add to Bookmarks Any plant with a name as odd as Egyptian walking onion has to be a pretty interesting plant. Egyptian walking onions, also known as tree onions or topset onions, make a great edible conversation piece in the garden. Egyptian walking onions ( Allium cepa var. proliferum) are unique in that they grow bulblets on top of their stalks where normal alliums would grow flowers. As the bulblets form at the top of the green onion-like foliage, they weigh down the stem pulling it to the ground where they can grow new plants. They will continue to do this, literally walking across your garden, thus the name!Egyptian walking onions are considered heirlooms, said to date back to at least the 1850s ( from the Plant Files entry ), though their history is seemingly unknown. They are also little known in the gardening world, although people that grow them love to have them in their herb, vegetable, or even border beds. On top of their usefulness as an herb and vegetable, Egyptian walking onions are some of the hardiest plants in the garden. They are cold hardy to Zone 3, and can remain evergreen through a Zone 5 winter. They are some of the first plants to show their face in spring and can be counted on year after productive year."

"text": "Comparison of the Development of Early Civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, and Mesoamerica Melvin Ruddell History 20 at West Hills College Professor Rene Sanchez November 16, 2012The purpose of this paper is to compare the developments and features of the early civilizations of Mesopotamia (Sumer), Egypt, India (Indus River Valley, Harappa), China (Shang dynasty), and Mesoamerica (Olmec), starting from the creation of villages to the formation of civilizations. These civilizations appear to have developed in response to their environment and in reaction to their human need for survival and security. The first human civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus River Valley, and China (but not Mesoamerica) all developed around rivers; as such they were called alluvial, or located in the plains surrounding a river. For Mesopotamia and Egypt, controlling where the water went, using irrigation, was critical to their survival. Irrigation allowed water to be used farther away from the river itself, thereby allowing more people to use the river water. Plus, controlling the flood water was a necessity. The people of these alluvial or river societies became so dependent on the rivers that they developed much of their culture and society around it. [ 1]Mesopotamia The first civilization was located in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in what today is known as Iraq. This is not where the agricultural revolution began, however. Farming began in the Fertile Crescent in about 8000 B. C. E., but to the north and east of the Tigris Euphrates Rivers, where the weather was wet and the soil was fertile."

"text": "The Inundationby Caroline Seawright Until the Aswan High Dam was built, Egypt received a yearly inundation - an annual flood - of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians did not realise this, but the flood came due to the heavy summer rains in the Ethiopian highlands, swelling the different tributaries and other rivers that joined and became the Nile. This happened yearly, between June and September, in a season the Egyptians called akhet - the inundation. This was seen by the Egyptians as a yearly coming of the god Hapi, bringing fertility to the land. The first signs of the inundation were seen at Aswan by the end of June, reaching its swelling to its fullest at Cairo by September. The flood would then decrease in size around two weeks later, leaving behind a deposit of rich, black silt. The amount of silt left behind due to the height of the Nile determined the amount of crops that the Egyptians could grow - if the inundation was too low, it would be a year of famine. The Egyptians learned a method of measuring the height of the Nile known as the Nilometre. Although all Nilometres used by the Egyptians had a single obvious purpose, to mark the highest point of Inundation, they were constructed in one of three different formats -- a slab or pillar, a well or a series of steps. All three were calibrated using the same unit of measurement, the cubit; the Egyptians broke the cubit into smaller units, which allowed them to keep remarkably accurate records, perhaps more accurate than would have been warranted for the purposes of merely agriculture and taxation."

In a liturgical celebration the Church is servant in the image of her Lord, the one \"\"leitourgos\"\"; (Heb 8:2,6) she shares in Christ's priesthood (worship), which is both prophetic (proclamation) and kingly (service of charity): The liturgy then is rightly seen as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ.

Each year, melting snow from the mountains in the south caused the Nile to flood on its way north through Egypt. As the flood waters receded, they left behind a rich, fertile, dark soil.

Wealthy people in modern societies can generally afford to eat more lavishly than individuals from other classes, and the same applied to ancient Egypt. Privileged families in ancient Egypt enjoyed a more varied diet than their counterparts with less money. They also ate considerably more meat from various animal sources. Dietary Basics Food in ancient Egypt was centered heavily around bread, both for impoverished and wealthy people. They typically ate unleavened bread, a type of bread devoid of yeast. Bread made up the bulk of the diet for poor ancient Egyptians. They also drank a lot of beer. People without much money also dined on fresh produce they grew themselves, whether lentils, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, peas or radishes. Poultry and fish were also occasionally part of their diets."

Items with similar color were believed to have similar properties.01of 07Color Pairs Colors were often paired. Silver and gold were considered complementary colors (i.e. they formed a duality of opposites just like the sun and moon). Red complemented white (think of the double crown Ancient Egypt), and green and black represented different aspects of the process of regeneration. Where a procession of figures is depicted, the skin tones alternate between light and dark ochre. Purity of color was important to Ancient Egyptians and the artist would usually complete everything in one color before moving on to the next. Paintings would be finished off with fine brushwork to outline the work and add limited interior detail. The degree to which Ancient Egyptian artists and craftsmen mixed colors varies according to dynasty. But even at its most creative, color mixing was not widely spread. Unlike today's pigments which give consistent results, several of those available to Ancient Egyptian artists could react chemically with each other; for example, lead white when mixed with orpiment (yellow) actually produces black.02of 07Black and White Colors in Ancient Egypt Black (Ancient Egyptian name \"\" kem\"\") was the color of the life-giving silt left by the Nile inundation, which gave rise to the Ancient Egyptian name for the country: \"\" kemet\"\" – the black land."

Credit: NASAThe Nile River, considered the longest river in the world, is approximately 4,258 miles (6,853 kilometers) long, but its exact length is a matter of debate. Flowing northward through the tropical climate of eastern Africa and into the Mediterranean Sea, the river passes through 11 countries: Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt. The Nile has two major tributaries: the longer White Nile, considered the prime stream and headwaters; and the Blue Nile, which carries about two-thirds of the river's water volume and most of the silt. The White Nile begins at Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, which touches the countries of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. But Lake Victoria isn't necessarily the most distant and \"\"true\"\" source of the Nile River because the lake itself has many feeder rivers coming in from the surrounding mountains. In 2006, a British explorer named Neil Mc Grigor said he'd traveled to the Nile's most distant source at the beginning of the Kagera River, Lake Victoria's longest feeder river. Still, experts do not agree which tributary of the Kagera is the longest — and therefore the most distant — source of the Nile. Ultimately, it would be either the Ruvyironza in Burundi or the Nyabarongo from the Nyungwe Forest in Rwanda. Much less disputable is the Blue Nile's source at Lake Tana in Ethiopia."

For a number of years he traveled throughout the Persian empire, Egypt, and Scythia observing the culture of these ancient peoples. In his later life, Herodotus lived in Athens, finally settling in Italy where he spent the remainder of his days refining his masterpiece, The Persian Wars. As a consequence of this work, Cicero dubbed him “the father of history.” His literary efforts consisted of nine books dealing with the Greek-Persian wars (500-479 B. C.), together with a history of the customs and geography of these combatants. In his effort to accomplish this feat, he went further and sought to give as an introduction to the story the whole history of the antique world as it was then known. This material occupies the first six of his nine books. He is generally viewed as the first writer to so unify the record of facts as to raise historical narrative to the level of literature. It should be noted, however, that his history was written in an age that lacked an abundance of solid factual documentation. His work is grounded, therefore, largely in oral tradition.

On this page Defining the end point Signs of trouble Wars Invasion A mere province End of the old ways Find out more Print this page Defining the end point The civilisation of ancient Egypt can be traced back in recognisable form to around 3000 BC. It was to endure for over three millennia and it is perhaps the most instantly recognisable of all ancient cultures today. The question of how it came to an end is a perennially popular one, but actually quite difficult to answer, as it is by no means agreed as to what constitutes 'the end' of Egypt as an ancient civilisation....the demise of the hieroglyphs was a manifestation of the decline and fall of the ancient religion... Is it the definitive end of native Egyptian rule (at least until the 20th century)? In this case the answer would be the flight of King Nectanebo II in 342 BC. Is it Egypt's absorption into the Roman Empire in 30 BC? Or the last appearance of the ancient hieroglyphic script just before AD 400? Or the closure of the last pagan temples in the sixth century? In many ways the last suggestion is perhaps the most appropriate, as in all the other cases, the core religious and artistic values of the country continued on, albeit increasingly debased and under pressure."

We can’t trust a lot of it, because if we did, we would have to believe he had god-like powers. We DO know about the beliefs of a religious-mathematical cult called the Pythagoreans, and we DO know that the Pythagoreans made great advances in mathematics. Advertisements When the Pythagorean cult started, it was very secretive. After Pythagoras died, the secrets began to be revealed. Pythagoreans believed that everything could be reduced to numbers: the whole universe had been built using mathematics. They said the truth behind the everyday reality we experience lies in numbers."

"text": "The people of ancient Egypt The population In the eyes of Herodotus, more a tourist than a historian or a sociologist, the Egyptians were exceedingly strange and in his zeal to point out their peculiarities he quite often exaggerated or worse, strayed from the truth. The Egyptians in agreement with their climate, which is unlike any other, and with the river, which shows a nature different from all other rivers, established for themselves manners and customs in a way opposite to other men in almost all matters: for among them the women frequent the market and carry on trade, while the men remain at home and weave; and whereas others weave pushing the woof upwards, the Egyptians push it downwards: the men carry their burdens upon their heads and the women upon their shoulders: the women make water standing up and the men crouching down: they ease themselves in their houses and they eat without in the streets, alleging as reason for this that it is right to do secretly the things that are unseemly though necessary, but those which are not unseemly, in public: no woman is a minister either of male or female divinity, but men of all, both male and female: to support their parents the sons are in no way compelled, if they do not desire to do so, but the daughters are forced to do so, be they never so unwilling. The priests of the gods in other lands wear long hair, but in Egypt they shave their heads: among other men the custom is that in mourning those whom the matter concerns most nearly have their hair cut short, but the Egyptians, when deaths occur, let their hair grow long, both that on the head and that on the chin, having before been close shaven: other men have their daily living separated from beasts, but the Egyptians have theirs together with beasts: other men live on wheat and on barley, but to any one of the Egyptians who makes his living on these it is a great reproach; they make their bread of corn, [ 16] which some call spelt: they knead dough with their feet and clay with their hands, with which also they gather up dung: and whereas other men, except such as have learnt otherwise from the Egyptians, have their members as nature made them, the Egyptians practice circumcision: as to garments, the men wear two each and the women but one: and whereas others make fast the rings and ropes of the sails outside the ship, the Egyptians do this inside: finally in the writing of characters and reckoning with pebbles, while the Hellenes carry the hand from the left to the right, the Egyptians do this from the right to the left; and doing so they say that they do it themselves rightwise and the Hellenes leftwise: and they use two kinds of characters for writing, of which the one kind is called sacred and the other common. Herodotus, Histories II Project Gutenberg A modern visitor to ancient Egypt would be struck by the youthfulness of the people. Ancient Egyptians, like all mankind until the advent of modern medicine and public hygiene, died young [ 10]. The age people hoped to reach was 110, described as the ideal lifespan in literature [ 12], but reality was different. Life expectancy for one year old children was less than forty years. Water-borne diseases, tuberculosis and other infectious illnesses against which the best physicians of antiquity were mostly powerless, were endemic [ 1]. Periodically various kinds of plague broke out, often in the wake of wars. The sick, the very young and the elderly were especially prone to succumb. ( For comparison mouse-over the the graph on the right to see a schematic age pyramid of a modern industrialized western country.

The Egyptians understood the animals' characteristics and admired them, especially those that were dangerous or had powers human beings lacked. They believed animals were symbols, for example, the beetle - the Egyptians noticed how it buries itself and therefore used it as a symbol of survival. Particular powers of each Egyptian god were symbolised by animals with similar characteristics. Jackals The Ancient Egyptians realised that these dogs are able to find the good part of old meat and eat that part and not die. They also ravaged the desert graves in ancient times.

In fact, eating lots of meat is a recent phenomenon. In ancient cultures vegetarianism was much more common, except in nomadic populations. Most sedentary populations ate fruit and vegetables. Although previous sources found the ancient Egyptians to be pretty much vegetarians, until this new research it wasn’t possible to find out the relative amounts of the different foods they ate. Was their daily bread really daily? Did they binge on eggplants and garlic? Why didn’t someone spear a fish? A French research team figured out that by looking at the carbon atoms in mummies that had lived in Egypt between 3500 B. C. and 600 A. D. you could find out what they ate."

"text": "When did Ancient Egypt start and end? As part of our 'History Extra explains' series, leading historians answer the burning questions you were too afraid to ask... January 14, 2015 at 11:59 am When did Ancient Egypt start and end? When we think about ‘ancient Egypt’ we are usually imagining the dynastic period; the time when Egypt was a united land ruled by a king, or pharaoh. This was the age of the pyramids, mummification and hieroglyphic writing. The dynastic period started with the reign of Egypt’s first king, Narmer, in approximately 3100 BCE, and ended with the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE. During this long period there were times of strong centalised rule, and periods of much weaker, divided rule, but basically Egypt remained one, independent land. However, the dynastic period should be seen as part of a much longer, continuous history. Before Narmer united his kingdom, the land that was to become Egypt consisted of a series of sophisticated Neolithic city-states, supported by agricultural communities and linked together by trade. After Cleopatra’s death, Egypt was absorbed by Rome, but many of the old traditions continued. Dr Joyce Tyldesley is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Manchester, where she writes and teaches a number of Egyptology courses."

Vines and grapes on the ceiling. CC Flickr User kudumomo .by N. S. Gill Updated July 06, 2017Among the ancient civilizations, Egyptians enjoyed better foods than most did, thanks to the presence of the Nile River flowing through most of settled Egypt, fertilizing the land with periodic flooding and providing a source of water for irrigating crops and watering livestock. The proximity of Egypt to the Middle East made trade easy, and hence Egypt enjoyed foodstuffs from foreign countries as well, and their cuisine was heavily influenced by outside eating habits. The diet of the ancient Egyptians depended on their social position and wealth. Tomb paintings, medical treatises, and archaeology reveal a variety of foods. Peasants and slaves would, of course, eat a limited diet, including the staples of bread and beer, complemented by dates, vegetables, and pickled and salted fish, but the wealthy had a much larger range to choose from. For wealthy Egyptians, available food choices were easily as broad as they are for many people in the modern world. Grains Barley, spelt or emmer wheat provided the basic material for bread, which was leavened by sourdough or yeast."

In a narrow sense, Ancient Egyptian art refers to the canonical 2D and 3D art developed in Egypt from 3000 BC and used until the 3rd century. It is to be noted that most elements of Egyptian art remained remarkably stable over the 3000 year period that represents the ancient civilization without strong outside influence. The same basic conventions and quality of observation started at a high level and remained near that level over the period. Ancient Egyptian art forms are characterized by regularity and detailed depiction of human beings and the nature, and, were intended to provide company to the deceased in the 'other world'. Artists' endeavored to preserve everything of the present time as clearly and permanently as possible. Completeness took precedence over prettiness.

There are two basic types of hieroglyphs: Ideograms and Phonograms. Often the same image can be both an ideogram and a phonogram. Ideograms are images that depict the object they represent. For example the image of a mouth can represent the word 'mouth'. Phonograms are images that represent the sounds of the Ancient Egyptian language, just like our alphabet represents the sound of our language. For example, the image of a mouth can also represent the sound 'R'. The Hieroglyphic Alphabet Our simplified Hieroglyphic Alphabet which you can find at the bottom of each page is designed for fun to let you translate English words into Hieroglyphics.

"text": "Jarosław Bogalecki Answered Nov 3, 2017 · Author has 323 answers and 150.3k answer views Ever since the loss of the art of reading the sacred Egyptian writing, it was widely assumed that Egyptian hieroglyphs were symbolic in nature. Some compared them to Classical Chinese—a script which did not reflect the way ordinary people spoke but conveyed a very specific message. Most of the suggestions that it could have been at least partially phonetic were usually dismissed as nonsensical and you can definitely see a point there. Would you assume that a script composed of pictures resembling people and animals legitimately represents pronunciation? Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy—the man who not only came up with the theory of some of the hieroglyphs being phonetic but actually taught three of the men who would later prove essential to cracking the ancient code. In the early 1800s, shortly after the monumental discovery of the famed stone bearing a bilingual and triscriptual inscription in 1799 by an officer in the French garrison at the Egyptian town of Rosetta, some of these established ideas began being questioned. The Frenchman Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy and his Swedish student Johan David Åkerblad noticed that some portions of the Demotic text seemed to correspond in their frequency and placement to those in the Greek version. Thus they were able to come up with translations of a few Egyptian words in the Demotic which by now was beginning to be recognized as just another rendition of the hieroglyphic text rather than that of a completely unrelated language. However, the Demotic text also included some ideograms and overall proved too hard a crack for de Sacy and Åkerblad. The two men, having grown frustrated with the unrewarding nature of the decipherement challenge, gave up."

The Egyptian name for the cartouche, shenu, is derived from the same verb, \"\"sheni\"\" (to encircle), as the shen ring. The modern name came from Napolean's soldiers during his expedition to Egypt. The sign reminded them of the cartridges, \"\"cartouches\"\", used in their guns. Meaning: The cartouche was the place holder for the name of the pharoah. As it is descended from the shen ring, the earliest examples of the cartouche were in fact circular and identical to that sign. Soon though, the ring was lengthened to hold the larger number of hieroglyphs in the pharaoh's name. By the 5th dynasty, the pharaoh's two most important names (he had five or more), his nomen (birth-name) and prenomen (throne name) were enclosed in cartouches. The cartouche had clear solar symbology. It originally represented everything that was encircled by the sun -- the king's realm."

Sons of scribes were brought up in the same scribal tradition, sent to school and, upon entering the civil service, inherited their fathers' positions. Much of what is known about ancient Egypt is due to the activities of its scribes. Monumental buildings were erected under their supervision, administrative and economic activities were documented by them, and tales from the mouths of Egypt's lower classes or from foreign lands survive thanks to scribes putting them in writing. Scribes were also considered part of the royal court and did not have to pay tax or join the military. The scribal profession had companion professions, the painters and artisans who decorated reliefs and other relics with scenes, personages, or hieroglyphic text. A scribe was exempt from the heavy manual labor required of the lower classes, or corvee labor. A scribe's duties ranged from writing letters for townspeople, to recording harvests, to keeping accounts for the Egyptian army. Above these scribes were more scholarly scribes, who had advanced to higher positions such as priests, doctors, and engineers."

While Hathor is the most commonly used name, Mehturt and the other variations have served as alternate names for over 3,000 years. While Hathor means “mansion of Horus,” Mehturt means “great flood,” a reference to her connection to the Milky Way. In addition to these names there are two manifestations of Hathor. The first is Hesat, which is the earthly form of Hathor. In her earthly form Hathor was depicted as a cow-goddess. The name Hesat meant milk and was most likely given because of her role as “the one who creates all nourishment.” In most depictions she is shown as a white cow with milk gracefully flowing from her udders alongside balancing a dish of food on her horns."

The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic script and Demotic script, respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. As the decree has only minor differences between the three versions, the Rosetta Stone proved to be the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone, carved in black granodiorite during the Hellenistic period, is believed to have originally been displayed within a temple, possibly at nearby Sais. It was probably moved during the early Christian or medieval period, and was eventually used as building material in the construction of Fort Julien near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta. It was rediscovered there in July 1799 by a French soldier named Pierre-François Bouchard during the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt. It was the first Ancient Egyptian bilingual text recovered in modern times, and it aroused widespread public interest with its potential to decipher this previously untranslated hieroglyphic language."

"text": "Biblical Essays EGYPTIAN MUD BRICKSThe absence of rain, the scarcity of wood and an abundance of sunshine made adobe the preferred building material. Loamy Nile mud mixed with straw resulted in surprisingly strong bricks. A sunbaked mud brick without straw had a strength of less than 6 kp/cm², the addition of straw resulted in a brick three times as strong (about 20 kp/cm²). As long as groundwater did not dissolve their foundations and floods did not reach them, well-tended mud brick walls could stand for generations. In every location during a building project, brick molds (see picture below) of equal size were used which were between about 45 to 30 cm in length and 20 to 15 cm in width. The brick size was thus standardized, e.g. 30 by 15 by 7.5 cm during the Middle Kingdom. At Karnak the bricks measured 40 by 20 by 15, at the Late Period Naukratis they were about the same size. These dimensions suggest they were generally laid in cross bond (English bond). But other bonding patterns such as running bond, Flemish bond, and stack bond were apparently also used at times. A modern mud brick maker can produce between 1000 and 2000 bricks a day."

[ 3] She became the patroness of the Nile Delta and the protector of all of Lower Egypt. [ 4] The pharaohs wore the uraeus as a head ornament: either with the body of Wadjet atop the head, or as a crown encircling the head; this indicated Wadjet's protection and reinforced the pharaoh's claim over the land. In whatever manner that the Uraeus was displayed upon the pharaoh's head, it was, in effect, part of the pharaoh's crown. The pharaoh was recognized only by wearing the Uraeus, which conveyed legitimacy to the ruler. There is evidence for this tradition even in the Old Kingdom during the third millennium BCE. ["

"text": "\"Ancient Egyptian Namesby Jimmy Dunn writing as Jefferson Monet Anyone who has studied the ancient pharaohs knows that their names were important from the earliest times through the end of ancient Egyptian history, frequently offering clues to their personality, the period in which they lived and particularly, the gods that they most worshipped. But it was not only the kings who placed great store in names. All Egyptian's names were carefully chosen, apparently for commoners and royalty alike, though one major difference is that the names of common Egyptians were not preserved in cartouches, as were those of royalty.. At times, some of the naming techniques of the ancient Egyptians could also lead to considerable confusion. This is obvious among some kings, who had a number of different names, but at times also changed their names, particularly when they inherited or otherwise ascended to the throne of Egypt. Furthermore, some individuals seem to possibly have had different names in different parts of Egypt. It has been suggested, for example, that the first born son of Ramesses II, Amunhikhopshef, may have been called Sethikhopshjef in the north of Egypt. Hence, the god Amun of the south was used in Upper Egypt while the favored deity, Seth, was used in Lower Egypt. The possibility that people could be called one name in one location, and a different one elsewhere, has some justification in the names of gods. For example, chapter 142 of the Book of the Dead carries the heading \"\"Knowing the names of Osiris in his every seat where he wishes to be\"\", and is an extensive list of geographically local versions of Osiris. However, it should be noted that this may have been a complete name change, or possibly even another son of Ramesses II."

Although hieroglyphs are a widely recognized design, Egyptian picture writing is not your only option. Stylized, symbolic tattoos also incorporate Egyptian gods, goddesses or other spiritually significant images. Types of Egyptian Symbol Tattoos Ancient Egyptians developed detailed symbols that held significant meaning to them and followed complex rules for depicting gods and human figures. This accounts for the unmistakable style of Egyptian drawing and painting. Symbols ranged from simple line drawings to colorful and ornate representations of nature and the world, with unique depictions of perspective and graphic designs that adapt easily to skin art. The Ankh The ankh is the symbol of eternal life. Strong believers in life beyond death, the Egyptians held that the ankh protected them in the passage to the afterlife. The symbol resembles a symmetrical armed cross with a loop in place of the northern pointing arm. Place a tiny ankh tattoo on your ankle or wrist."

"text": "Normal Function The AR gene provides instructions for making a protein called an androgen receptor. Androgens are hormones (such as testosterone) that are important for normal male sexual development before birth and during puberty. Androgen receptors allow the body to respond appropriately to these hormones. The receptors are present in many of the body's tissues, where they attach (bind) to androgens. The resulting androgen-receptor complex then binds to DNA and regulates the activity of androgen-responsive genes. By turning the genes on or off as necessary, the androgen receptor helps direct the development of male sexual characteristics. Androgens and androgen receptors also have other important functions in both males and females, such as regulating hair growth and sex drive. In one region of the AR gene, a DNA segment known as CAG is repeated multiple times. This CAG segment is called a triplet or trinucleotide repeat. In most people, the number of CAG repeats in the AR gene ranges from fewer than 10 to about 36."

Gross...and a bit creepy, right? Not in 1889, apparently. Brown-Sequard's \"\"Elixir of Life\"\" would be prescribed by over 12,000 physicians by the end of that same year.

In women, androgens are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and fat cells. In fact, women may produce too much or too little of these hormones -- disorders of androgen excess and deficiency affect an estimated 5 to 10 percent of women and are among the more common hormonal disorders in women. In women, androgens play a key role in the hormonal cascade that kick starts puberty, stimulating hair growth in the pubic and underarm areas. Additionally, these hormones are believed to regulate the function of many organs, including the reproductive tract, bone, kidneys, liver and muscle."

Acne is a common skin disease and it usually begins during the teenage years. It is mostly found on the face but it usually affects other parts of the skin such as the back and upper part of the chest where sebaceous follicles are highly concentrated. Therefore, acne affects the pilosebaceous units which include hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Acne causes seborrhea or scaly, red skin; comedones such as whiteheads and blackheads; pustules and papules. In severe cases acne nodules, cysts and acne scars will appear on the skin. These acne lesions are triggered by a number of causes. However, there are two root causes of acne: androgens and acne-causing bacteria."

"text": "Hormones That Affect Hair Growthby SUZANNE S. WILEY July 18, 2017Hair growth is regulated by hormonal changes in the body. These hormones can affect not only how much grows, but whether growth stops and no new hair grows. The processes that regulate how much does or doesn’t grow, and what type of hair grows, can go awry and cause abnormal hair growth, as well. Gonadotropins Gonadotropins are pituitary gland hormones that affect the gonads, or testes, and ovaries. The two gonadotropin hormones are called the luteinizing hormone and the follicle-stimulating hormone. These help the testes and ovaries produce male and female sex hormones, as well as eggs and sperm--the follicle in this case isn’t hair, but ovarian follicles that function as protective sacs for eggs. Columbia University’s Health Services department notes in its Go Ask Alice information database that neither of these hormones really have anything to do with hair growth directly. However, not only do they influence the production of sex hormones that influence hair growth, they can interact with the progesterone, a female sex hormone, in the Depo-Provera birth control shot in women and lead to hair falling out and not regrowing. Columbia University notes that hair should begin growing again once the shot is discontinued. Androgens The hormones with the most direct effect on hair growth are androgens, the male sex hormones that include testosterone."

Approximately 20 million American women remove facial hair at least once a week, according to research done by Bristol-Myers, a manufacturer of health and grooming products. An increase in facial hair can have many causes and usually isn't due to any serious imbalance of hormones. Often it's simply a normal side effect of aging. But how can you tell when it's normal and when it's a reason to see your doctor? What's normal Hormonal changes in a woman's body through her life will cause changes in her hair type and how it's produced. Before puberty, facial hair is a fine, thin type known as \"\"vellus.\"\" With the onset of puberty, hormones transform some hair to a coarse pigmented variety called \"\"terminal.\"\" The appearance of terminal hair in the pubic and axillary (under the arm) regions is caused by male hormones that are produced in puberty.

Many cattle are fed the same muscle-building androgens—usually testosterone surrogates—that some athletes consume.

Print Medical Care The treatment of hirsutism begins with a careful explanation about the cause of the problem and reassurance that the patient is not losing her femininity. Then, direct intervention, if possible, is instituted for the underlying disorder. If hirsutism persists (or the patient has idiopathic hirsutism), other cosmetic or systemic treatment may be necessary. In some cases, cosmetic measures may be sufficient. In others, the slow progress of systemic therapy may necessitate more immediate cosmetic treatment. The most effective strategy is to combine systemic therapy, which has a slow onset of effectiveness, with mechanical depilation (shaving, plucking, waxing, depilatory creams) or light-based (laser or pulsed-light) hair removal. Hirsutism requires a careful and systematic clinical evaluation coupled with a rational approach to treatment. Throughout this process, the patient must understand that, although diagnostic testing can be time consuming (and even inconclusive), it is sometimes essential for determining an effective intervention. In other cases, counseling and education may be all that is needed. For the patient who desires treatment, a wide variety of pharmacologic strategies are available."

Naturally occurring chemical messenger compounds in the body known as hormones are responsible for coordinating the appearance of these physical differences. Some research suggests that the same sex hormones that enable sexual organ differentiation in utero and which later trigger puberty also pl an important role in shaping gender identity. Boys tend to have more androgens (male sex hormones) than girls. However, some boys and girls are born with a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which causes them to have significantly higher levels of androgens than their non-affected peers. Scientists have studied children with CAH in order to understand how their extra androgen levels affect behavior. Boys with excess androgens play and behave much like normal male peers. However, girls with high androgen levels tend to display more gender-stereotypic male traits and behaviors than do than their same-age hormonally-normal peers. In addition, girls with CAH are born with external genitalia that look like male genitalia."

Tweeze, shave, chemical cream, wax or electro-zap: Humans have come up with a pharmacy's worth of ways to deforest their bodies of natural hair. Yet, to evolutionary biologists, humans are amazing not because they have so much hair, but because they have so little. Whereas our ancestors once sported full-fur suits, Homo sapiens today are almost embarrassingly naked. The story of how our bodies morphed from being upholstered in head-to-toe carpeting into a mosaic of hairy and non-hairy bits is one of sweat, sex, scent, and (not to be left out) climate change. From the Woods to the Savanna, Shedding Hair Along the Way Early hominids (our über-great grandparents), the story goes, made their living foraging for fruits, nuts, tubers, and vegetation in the cool shade of forest trees. Then, about three million years ago, a global cooling period dried out the regions of Central Africa where those early family members were living. The fur that had once kept them warm became a liability, as forests changed into grasslands and early hunters spent long hours striding or running across the savanna in pursuit of dinner. From natural selection's point of view, the ability to sweat and quickly dissipate heat became the neatest trick on the block. So, by and large, humans lost their hair."

"text": "\"Home Testosterone Testosterone Testosterone is one of the most remarkable hormones we produce and further one of the most important. Both men and women naturally produce testosterone although men produce it at nearly ten times the rate. As by its existence testosterone is a steroidal hormone of the androgen class and is the primary androgen. As such, it is largely responsible for what makes men, men as it is essential to the male sexual characteristics. Beyond this factor, testosterone plays a host of important roles in the body revolving around the physical, sexual and even mental factors of life. As the principal androgen produced by the body, and while playing many important roles, the testosterone hormone is also the father of all anabolic androgenic steroids in their synthetic forms. If it were not for testosterone there would be no anabolic androgenic steroids, and by this truth, all anabolic steroids owe their existence to the primary androgen. Many may find it surprising to know there is almost no difference between naturally produced testosterone and synthetically derived; the only difference worthy of note is the initial point of origin, as once in the body the body makes no distinguishing difference. To understand the testosterone hormone one of the easiest methods is to examine what happens when our testosterone levels become too low, as is the case in many who suffer from low testosterone. Once we understand this we can begin to understand testosterone more thoroughly in its pure exogenous form."

"text": "Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology Volume 32, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 183-200Review Sexual differentiation of human behavior: Effects of prenatal and pubertal organizational hormones Sheri A. Berenbaum a Adriene M. Beltz b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.yfrne.2011.03.001 Get rights and content Abstract A key question concerns the extent to which sexual differentiation of human behavior is influenced by sex hormones present during sensitive periods of development (organizational effects), as occurs in other mammalian species. The most important sensitive period has been considered to be prenatal, but there is increasing attention to puberty as another organizational period, with the possibility of decreasing sensitivity to sex hormones across the pubertal transition. In this paper, we review evidence that sex hormones present during the prenatal and pubertal periods produce permanent changes to behavior. There is good evidence that exposure to high levels of androgens during prenatal development results in masculinization of activity and occupational interests, sexual orientation, and some spatial abilities; prenatal androgens have a smaller effect on gender identity, and there is insufficient information about androgen effects on sex-linked behavior problems. There is little good evidence regarding long-lasting behavioral effects of pubertal hormones, but there is some suggestion that they influence gender identity and perhaps some sex-linked forms of psychopathology, and there are many opportunities to study this issue. Highlights► A key question concerns organizational hormone effects on human behavior. ► We review evidence for effects of prenatal and pubertal hormones. ► Prenatal androgens masculinize interests, sexual orientation, and some abilities. ► Pubertal hormones may influence gender identity and sex-linked behavior problems. ► Questions remain about puberty as an organizational period and mechanisms of effects."

For the use of circumscribed in Biological classification, see Circumscription (taxonomy). Circumscribed circle, C, and circumcenter, O, of a cyclic polygon, PIn geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle which passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius. A polygon which has a circumscribed circle is called a cyclic polygon (sometimes a concyclic polygon, because the vertices are concyclic ). All regular simple polygons, all isosceles trapezoids, all triangles and all rectangles are cyclic. A related notion is the one of a minimum bounding circle, which is the smallest circle that completely contains the polygon within it. Not every polygon has a circumscribed circle, as the vertices of a polygon do not need to all lie on a circle, but every polygon has a unique minimum bounding circle, which may be constructed by a linear time algorithm. [ 2] Even if a polygon has a circumscribed circle, it may not coincide with its minimum bounding circle; for example, for an obtuse triangle, the minimum bounding circle has the longest side as diameter and does not pass through the opposite vertex.

If a circle is inscribed in an angle, the angle bisector passes through the center of the circle.

Contents Finding the Incenter Proof of Existence Basic Properties Advanced Properties Other Polygons See Also Finding the Incenter All triangles have an incenter, and it always lies inside the triangle. One way to find the incenter makes use of the property that the incenter is the intersection of the three angle bisectors, using coordinate geometry to determine the incenter's location. Unfortunately, this is often computationally tedious. Generally, the easiest way to find the incenter is by first determining the inradius, or radius of the incircle, usually denoted by the letter r (the letter R is reserved for the circumradius ). This can be done in a number of ways, detailed in the 'Basic properties' section below. Once the inradius is known, each side of the triangle can be translated by the length of the inradius, and the intersection of the resulting three lines will be the incenter. This, again, can be done using coordinate geometry. Alternatively, the following formula can be used."

Classification of Angle by Location: Interior/Exterior: The angles in the triangle are refered to as interior (internal) angles (the blue, yellow and green angles). Triangles also have exterior (external) angles (the red angles). Extending any side of the triangle either direction creates an exterior angle. An exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle are supplementary; they make up a straight line which is 180.

"text": "RC HELICOPTER CONTROLS UNDERSTANDING LIFTI am sure everyone realizes to understand RC helicopter controls, we first must understand lift. Without lift, a RC helicopter or any aircraft for that matter won’t fly. For anything to fly – the amount of lift produced has to be greater than the force of gravity pulling it back to the ground. The Airfoil All things that fly, from birds to supersonic aircraft and yes helicopters too - rely on airfoils to create lift. An airfoil (the shape of all wings, or rotor blades if looked at edge on) creates lift by producing lower air pressure on the top of the wing than on the bottom. This happens because of Bernoulli's principle as it applies to fluid dynamics which states faster moving air/liquid creates lower pressure due to the conservation of energy. To understand RC helicopter control, you don't really need to know the exact physics involved here - but you should at least know why & how lift is created when the air is moving faster across the top of a wing than the bottom. Both the shape of the airfoil and its angle (called angle of attack - Ao A) is responsible for this since the distance traveled over the top is longer than under it and the air has to speed up in order to travel over the longer top distance. In effect because of this increase in air speed and resultant lower pressure over the top of the wing, a vacuum is created above the wing sucking it upwards. You can try a simple experiment right now to demonstrate how an air foil works and see Bernoulli's principle in action."

"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."

Which is true regarding the use of flaps during level turns? The raising of flaps increases the stall speed. Some aircraft are fitted with wing spoilers to decrease lift. An aircraft airfoil is designed to produce lift resulting from a difference in the higher air pressure below the airfoil's surface and lower air pressure above the airfoil's surface. A rectangular wing, as compared to other wing planforms, has a tendency to stall first at the wing root, with the stall progression toward the wingtip. The angle of attack of a wing directly controls distribution of pressures acting on the wing. Frost covering the upper surface of an airplane wing usually will cause the airplane to stall at an angle of attack that is lower than normal. By changing the angle of attack of a wing, the pilot can control the airplane's lift, airspeed, and drag."

A simple easy to remember answer would be great THANKS!Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I'll try to make this as simple as possible. First, you need to define maneuvering speed. It is the maximum speed at a given weight an aircraft can be flown at which it will stall before being overstressed. There are 2 reasons that maneuvering speed changes with weight. 1. Inertia - a heavier aircraft is less susceptible to sudden, abrupt movements caused by things like turbulence. It can therefore be flown at a higher speed than a lighter aircraft without becoming overstressed. 2."

"text": "\"Compressor Stall – Turbine Aircraft Engine Compressor Stall A Compressor Stall in a gas turbine engine is a condition in an axial-flow compressor in which one or more stages of rotor blades fail to pass air smoothly to the succeeding stages. A stall condition is caused by a pressure ratio that is incompatible with the engine rpm. Compressor stall will be indicated by a rise in exhaust temperature or rpm fluctuation, and if allowed to continue, may result in flameout and physical damage to the engine. Compressor Blades Compressor Blades are small airfoils and are subject to the same aerodynamic principles that apply to any airfoil. A compressor blade has an angle of attack which is a result of inlet air velocity and the compressor’s rotational velocity. In other words, the relationship between the air pressure passing across the blade passing through the engine and the air pressure that is due to the rotation of the blade. These two forces combine to form a vector, which defines the airfoil’s actual angle of attack to the approaching inlet air. Imbalance of the Two Vector Quantities A compressor stall is an imbalance between the two vector quantities, inlet velocity and compressor rotational speed. Compressor stalls occur when the compressor blades’ angle of attack exceeds the critical angle of attack. At this point, smooth airflow is interrupted and turbulence is created with pressure fluctuations."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Stall (flight))navigation search Airflow separating from an airfoil at a high angle of attack, as occurs at the stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. [ 1] This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is typically about 15 degrees, but it may vary significantly depending on the fluid, foil, and Reynolds number. Stalls in fixed-wing flight are often experienced as a sudden reduction in lift as the pilot increases the wing's angle of attack and exceeds its critical angle of attack (which may be due to slowing down below stall speed in level flight). A stall does not mean that the engine (s) have stopped working, or that the aircraft has stopped moving — the effect is the same even in an unpowered glider aircraft. Vectored thrust in manned and unmanned aircraft is used to surpass the stall limit, thereby giving rise to post-stall technology. [ 2] [3]Because stalls are most commonly discussed in connection with aviation, this article discusses stalls as they relate mainly to aircraft, in particular fixed-wing aircraft. The principles of stall discussed here translate to foils in other fluids as well.

"text": "Wing Incidence (February 2012) Books about airplane design often mention wing incidence as if it were a parameter of some importance. It isn’t. In fact, “wing incidence” is a misnomer. I propose — and fully expect my proposal to have no effect — that the term be abandoned, and that we speak of “fuselage incidence” instead. The so-called angle of incidence is the angle between the chord line of the wing at the fuselage and the fuselage’s longitudinal axis. Now, this sounds as if it ought to matter, because after all, if the wing is not at the correct angle it will not have enough lift, or will have too much, and the airplane will mush, or plow, or otherwise behave inappropriately. But to think that way is to slip into the mindset of the lubber who says, “The airplane flew into a storm and the wings fell off.” Wings never fall off. It is the fuselage that falls off the wing. When you fly, what you are flying is not a fuselage; it is a wing."

"text": "Tweet One of the very most important specifications on each of your golf clubs is the loft angle. To skip the fancy definitions, the loft angle is how much the face of the clubhead on each of your golf clubs is tilted back. Every clubhead in your bag has a specific loft angle on the face, even your putter. Quite simply, loft is about 85% of the reason you hit each golf club a different distance. The length of each of your clubs comprises the other 15%. How far YOU actually hit each club is mainly a product of the relationship of YOUR swing speed with the different loft on each clubhead in your set – with a couple of other technical things tossed in. One of the several definitions of a perfect set of golf clubs is that each club hit the ball a specific, different distance and that the difference in distance between each club is as close to the same as possible. Many of you know how frustrating it can be to play when you have two clubs that have a 20 yard distance difference between them and yet two others for which you only see about a 5 yard distance gap between. When you see discrepancies in distance between clubs, the first and usually main reason this happens is because the lofts are not consistently spaced between all the clubs. Yes, there are other reasons this can happen such as length errors or things associated with how much each club weighs in relation to the others."

The giant panda is a national treasure in China and is therefore protected by law in its bamboo forest home. This unique bear has long been revered by the Chinese and can be found in Chinese art dating back thousands of years. The Chinese call their beloved pandas large bear-cats. Giant pandas have also fascinated people living outside of China; French Missionary Pere Armand David first described them for science in 1869. Now, more than 100 years later, the worldwide love for pandas has been combined with international efforts to keep them from becoming extinct. How did the panda get its colors? We aren't exactly sure. One theory is that pandas developed the contrasting black and white colors over time so they would stand out in the forest and be able to find each other to mate. Another idea is that the broad blockings of contrasting color may serve to camouflage the panda in the bamboo or treetops."

Tapirs are a living fossil; they’be been around since the Eocene, having survived waves of extinction of other animals. They are South America’s largest native land mammal, with adults ranging in size from 300-700 pounds. A tapir’s most notable feature is its unique prehensile nose. Not only can they wiggle their nose, but they can use it to grab leaves when foraging. When swimming, they can use it as a snorkle! They are fast and agile swimmers. Tapir hides are very tough, and their bodies are streamlined for easy maneuvering in the forest. They have four toes on their front feet and three toes on their hind feet, with which they can run very fast for short bursts of speed through the forest."

Prairie dogs seem to just show up, sometimes where they are least expected – from vacant lots in suburban neighborhoods to the median strips of highways. But their true homes are within the vast expanse of western grasslands. Ranchers have spent the better part of the last 100 years complaining so bitterly about them because of the perceived competition with livestock for grass that the federal (and sometimes even state and local) government has provided funding to poison them. Over the past century, this effort killed off over 100 million acres of prairie dog colonies, totaling maybe a billion individuals – one of the largest mass extermination campaigns against wildlife ever conducted. Like the bison, prairie dogs are grassland keystone engineers. Their presence shaped the ecology of the Great Plains and interior mountain grasslands. Yet they were largely eradicated to make way for crops and cattle. Prairie dogs that remain today are a shadow of their former abundance. Increasingly, prairie dogs are also under siege from newer threats."

"text": "\"Gray Wolf ( Canis lupus)Questions and Answers about Gray Wolf Biology PDF Version Photo by Corel Corp. (copyrighted)1) Why was the gray wolf listed as endangered? Wolves became nearly extinct in the conterminous 48 states in the early part of the 20th century. Predator-control programs targeted wolves, and wolf habitat was altered and destroyed as eastern forests were logged and then converted to farms. Woodland caribou, bison, and beaver, the wolves’ prey base, were also brought to near-extinction by settlers and market hunters. Predator-control programs, loss of habitat, and loss of prey resulted in the elimination of wolves throughout most of the conterminous U. S. except in northeastern Minnesota and Isle Royale, Michigan. A few individuals also remained in the northern Rocky Mountains.2) What types of habitat do wolves use? Gray wolves use so many different habitat types that they are equally at home in the deserts of Israel, the deciduous forests of Wisconsin, and the frozen arctic of Siberia. Within North America, gray wolves formerly ranged from coast to coast with the exception of the mid-Atlantic states, the Southeast, and perhaps parts of California. They were found in almost all habitat types; prairie, forest, mountains, and wetlands. In the conterminous 48 states today, they are found in mostly forested lands in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming."

"text": "Environment Conservation Why are Giant panda bears endangered? I already know the trees they eat are being cut down so they're losing a main food source. But is there another reason? Are they being hunted?80 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Habitat is the primary cause. True, part of the habitat answer is based in food. But, another part of the same issue is that the bamboo that they eat, prefer to eat, etc... is not very nutritious so it takes a lot of bamboo to feed a giant panda. This has led the giant panda to require a lot of personal space, not be particularly social, etc... Each panda needs a fairly big patch of ground even if they are being fed an alternative food. Another group of reasons revolve around reproduction. Their gene pool is/has been reduced. A reduced gene pool allows recessive and mutant traits to come forth at a higher rate; this is why we humans have a social taboo against cousins marrying/having children with their cousins."

Biodiversity is essential to a healthy planet, yet many species face extinction. Let's explore some of the causes and effects of endangered animal species. Common Causes of Species Decline Some of the things that can upset the equilibrium in an ecosystem and contribute to the endangerment of the species within that system include overexploitation, habitat loss, and/or the reduction in resources essential for survival. Other factors, such as disturbance during the breeding season, or falling victim to non-target by-catch of intensive fishing practices, over a period of time may also cause a species to become endangered. Overexploitation Overexploitation of animals is one of the most obvious causes of species endangerment. This occurs when the species is harvested on an unsustainable basis, where the number of animals removed from the population is greater than the number replaced through reproduction or recruitment. The motivation for unsustainable harvesting is usually greed as high profits are received in return for the sale of the animals harvested. The demand for the target species may be for food, such as in the case of the endangered Bluefin tuna, or there may be a high demand for the species in the exotic pet market, such as can be seen in the trade in wild African Grey parrots. Sometimes the animal or its body parts may be valued for its medicinal or aphrodisiac properties, such as rhino horns or shark fins, or for its ornamental value such as ivory obtained from harvested elephant tusks."

Well getting to know the facts and data about Siberian Tigers is just a glimpse of what these beautiful animals have to undergo in terms of Siberian animal conservation, protection and education. The Siberian tigers also known as Panthera tigris are considered as the most dangerous and endangered tiger species of the world with their population of about 5,500 to 7,500 tigers left in the wild and in captivity. Only three tiger subspecies of the Bengal tigers mainly, the Bali tigers, the Javan tigers, and Caspian tigers became extinct in the early 1930s. Siberian Tigers Information: The Siberian Tigers are the biggest dangerous animals from the cats family in the world. The Siberian Tigers are found in steamy hot forests and jungles with some living in the Siberian region which is cold most of the year. As far as the tiger species ae concerned, only five different kinds or subspecies of tiger still remain in different parts of the world. The Indochinese tiger, the Bengal tigers , tigers are called Siberian tigers, the South China tigers, and Sumatran tigers . Siberian T igers Behavior: As compared to the clouded leopard, jaguar, puma, or the black panther and the African lions, the Siberian tigers like to live in isolation away from other tigers."

We just don’t see it up close.lillianfiane/Thinkstock T he Cincinnati Zoo’s decision to shoot a 17-year-old gorilla named Harambe to save a 4-year-old child who fell into the enclosure Saturday has generated lots of channels of outrage. Primatologists are debating just how agitated the gorilla looked ( pretty agitated ). People who have most likely never taken care of several small children at once are arguing about just how negligent the boy’s mother was ( probably not negligent ). And animal rights activists are surfacing in great numbers to demand justice for the gorilla. Sure, the safety of the barricade should be investigated, and apparently the Cincinnati police are on the case."

The former, fierce and majestic cats, while the latter, curious and cunning. For a long time, humans have been in contact with these animals and have been able to interact. The relationship between the two species has not a history of being close or friendly, but many people feel a deep admiration and devotion for Tigers. Highly respected in Chinese tradition, today they are part of various aspects of their culture. Tigers have been a symbol of strength and some other values, primarily in Asia. In fact, in some buildings, paintings of tigers are at the entrance, to protect the place from the evil spirits. The fascination they stir has inspired numerous artistic representations in literature, painting, cinema, sculpture, and so on. Although humans are often fearful of tigers, they have become their main predator and the most dangerous threat to the survival of these cats. CONFLICTS WITH HUMAN BEINGSIt is no secret that Tigers have killed more people than any other type of cat out there."

"text": "\"Science How To Argue With Someone Who Says 'Pandas Deserve To Die'It's a contentious, edgy argument! But it's flawed in just about every way. Here's how to exploit those flaws. By Dan Nosowitz August 29, 2013Panda Eating Wikimedia Commons A baby panda was born last week at the National Zoo. The National Zoo, and many people not associated with the Zoo, celebrated, because the panda is a very endangered animal and has become an emblem of the conservation movement, and it is very difficult to get pandas to produce surviving offspring in captivity. But because it is 2013, and because it is easier and garners more pageviews to be boldly wrong than boringly right, many internet publications and people who like to argue began a well-trodden argument: the panda deserves to die. Breeding pandas is \"\"prolonging the existence of a hopeless and wasteful species the world should've given up on long ago,\"\" writes Timothy Lavin in Bloomberg. After the death of a panda named Hsing-Hsing, in 2009, David Plotz of Slate wrote: \"\"Pandas are not ill-natured. They are worse: They are no-natured. Drearier animals you cannot imagine."

If animals are closely adapted to their habitats, why do we see overlap? Photo credits: Gray Tree Frog by Heidi Bakk-Hansen; Green frog by Trish Coxe; Background by Kahunapule Michael Johnson; Illustration by Prakarn Unachak For instance, Gray Treefrogs ( Hyla versicolor) and Green Treefrogs ( Hyla cinerea) in the Southern United States seem to be ecologically equivalent. Both species eat insects, live off the ground on vegetation and lay their eggs in small pools. So why is there not just one species? Adapted Roger Conant and Joseph T Collins. 1998. A Field Guide to Reptiles & Amphibians of Eastern & Central North America (Peterson Field Guide Series). While Gray Treefrogs and Green Treefrogs seem to occupy the same habitat, when we look closer we can see that though their ranges overlap, Gray Treefrogs live farther north than Green Treefrogs. We can also see that Gray Treefrogs prefer wooded areas with temporary pools, while Green Treefrogs prefer more open wetland areas with cattails and other aquatic vegetation."

The following article will give you a detailed account of these adaptations and help you picture how this animal survives in the harsh environment of the tundra biome. As its name suggests, the Arctic fox is a species of fox native to the Arctic region of the world. Also known as the White fox or Snow fox, the Arctic fox is found throughout Alaska, north Canada and some parts of Greenland. The fact that this small fox species manages to survive the harsh winters that the tundra region boasts of may come as a surprise for many, until you realize that nearly every feature of this animal is such that it helps it to adapt and survive in this climate. Arctic Fox Physical Adaptations In the freezing conditions of tundra, the most important thing that the Arctic fox needs to do is to ensure that its core body temperature does not fall below a certain point. For this, the entire body of the Arctic fox is covered with thick fur. In fact, the fur of this species is said to the warmest of any mammal on the planet, - including the polar bear with whom it shares its habitat. At the same time, it has a system in its body wherein there is countercurrent exchange of heat which is attributed to circulation of blood and adequate amount of adipose tissues. The size and body shape of Arctic fox have a crucial role to play in maintaining its body temperature."

"text": "Different Types of Animal Habitatswritten by: Atula Gupta•edited by: Sarah Malburg•updated: 4/19/2010From a tiny spec of dust to vast grasslands, animals inhabit the part of the Earth that best suits their need for food, shelter, reproduction and survival. Read further to learn more about the types of animal habitats that exist in varying environments. Animals and their Habitats Habitat is a word taken from Latin that means ‘it inhabits’. It is an area that is not defined by a specific size, but that has a particular balance of environmental factors that make it suitable for specific living organisms to live in it. When an animal lives in its natural habitat, their surroundings help it live, eat, grow and survive. To find out what types of animal habitats are out there, it is essential to understand that our planet has innumerable species of animals and therefore, equally innumerable types of habitats for them. But, most habitats are intermingled with each other, like a pond creating a suitable environment for a frog is in the same place as a cluster of trees making a forest and providing home to a number of animals like monkeys, deers, snakes and rabbits. In spite of the climatic and topographical variations, based on the similar weather conditions, kind of vegetation, shelter and food available, animal habitats can be generalized into the following categories: Alpines or mountains – Places at a higher altitude like the mountain ranges of the world provide a suitable environment for a number of terrestrial animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, invertebrates and amphibians. Forest and woodlands – These are the places that have abundant trees and therefore, the kind of animals living here are those who live on or around trees and are dependent on them for food and shelter. Forests too can be of different kinds like the tropical rainforests, temperate zone forests, conifers, or the deciduous forests."

"text": "By Mayo Clinic Staff Your ligaments are tough, elastic-like bands that connect bone to bone and hold your joints in place. A sprain is an injury to a ligament caused by tearing of the fibers of the ligament. The ligament can have a partial tear, or it can be completely torn apart. Ankle sprains are the most common type of sprain. Wrist, knee and thumb sprains are also common. Sprained ligaments often swell rapidly and are painful. Generally, the greater the pain and swelling, the more severe the injury is. For most minor sprains, you probably can start initial injury treatment yourself. Follow the instructions for R. I. C. E. Rest the injured limb. Your doctor may recommend not putting any weight on the injured area for 48 to 72 hours, so you may need to use crutches."

Copper Wear is essentially an elbow or knee sleeve with copper woven into the fabric. They imply this combination has enhanced health properties, but does it really do anything better? The Copper Wear Pitch Copper Wear is targeted at active people like surfers and tennis players as well as older folks who have limited mobility. It’s pitched by former tennis pro Tracy Austin who says Copper Wear “helps with compression and helps with recovery.” They boast its “high performance” 88% copper fiber-embedded nylon is lightweight and works “instantly. ”How Copper Wear Works Copper Wear appears to be an extra-long black elbow or knee compression sleeve. To use Copper Wear, slip over the afflicted joint. They say it will wick away moisture, keeping you cool, comfortable, and dry and the compressing nature of the fabric will aid in relieving sore or stiff muscles and hasten recovery; they add you can wear Copper Wear 24 hours a day even as you sleep.

"text": "Lymphedema Lymphedema is swelling that occurs when lymph fluid can’t flow normally and builds up in the soft tissues of a limb. Lymphedema usually occurs in parts of the body where lymph nodes have been removed or damaged by cancer treatment. These areas include the underarm (called axilla), neck, groin or pelvis. The risk of lymphedema increases with the number of lymph nodes that are affected. Lymph fluid is clear, yellowish fluid that contains nutrients, lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and antibodies. Lymph fluid travels throughout the body in lymph vessels. Lymph nodes sit along the lymph vessels. Their job is to filter the lymph fluid. Doctors usually classify lymphedema based on how the skin reacts to the touch, if swelling goes down when the limb is elevated and if the skin is scarred or has changed texture. They give lymphedema a grade or stage from 1 to 3, usually as a Roman numeral (I, II or III)."

"text": "Do compression socks really work? April 7, 2014 By Jen Matz Comments Compression socks: they’re trendy, they come in fun, neon colors and bright patterns, and some athletes wouldn’t dream of running without them. But what do compression socks – and other compression apparel, like calf sleeves, thigh sleeves, and tights – really do besides make a fashion statement? The science behind compression socks Athletic compression socks are a version of compression stockings that have long been used in the medical field. Compression socks and stockings are tight – they put extra pressure on the feet, ankles, and calves. Compression stockings were first prescribed to treat and prevent blood vessel problems in the legs. By putting pressure on the lower limbs, compression socks increase blood flow in the legs and send the blood back up towards the heart where it belongs. This stops blood from pooling in the lower legs, combats varicose veins, and reduces leg swelling. Traditionally, compression stockings have been used to help prevent and treat complications associated with diabetes, pregnancy, deep vein thrombosis, among other conditions.

In this series, I will tell you what a sprained ankle involves, the most effective self-treatment and the best rehab exercises to get you back out there!This post is Level 1 but when you need to step it up after the first 48-72 hours, switch over to the Level 2 and Level 3 rehab exercises. Alternatively, you can skip the hassle and download our comprehensive Sprained Ankle Recovery Guide First of all, a little information about what a sprained ankle involves, but if you are in the know about Sprains already, skip the info and scroll down to Self – Treatment Sprained ankles are known by a few different names: Twisted ankle Rolled ankle Lateral ankle sprain Inversion ankle sprain And of course “Oh no!”The most common type of sprained ankle is the lateral ankle sprain (85%), and that is what we are going to discuss and sort out today. Mechanism of injury: The plain and simple is that a sprained ankle is typically when your foot is forced inward (inversion) and down at the same time (often when changing direction, turning and/or on uneven surfaces). This puts the ligaments under too much stress too fast which causes a tear of one or more of your ankle ligaments. Quick anatomy: The lateral (outer) ankle has 3 ligaments supporting, with the weakest of these (and so most often injured) being the ATFL. The ATFL is the Ligament at the front of the ankle shown here and in most simple sprains, this is the one torn with or without the ligament below it. Sprained ankle recovery time: The general recovery time is 2-6 weeks (if looked after properly) and keep in mind, even if it feels bad now, if you do all the right things you will be one of the 95% who return to sport and activity within 6 weeks. Not taking ankle rehab seriously often leads to far too many chronic ankles, long-term disability and other injuries so YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!Note: it is important to rule out fractures early on. An accurate way of doing this is using the Ottawa ankle rules, or going to see your local Physio for a quick assessment – These rules are great for minimizing unnecessary X-rays."

A Thigh muscle strain refers to a tear in the Quadriceps muscle group. The Quadriceps are located at the front of the thigh and are responsible for extending (straightening) the knee. The Quadriceps group is made up of four muscles: Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Vastus Medialis. Usually, the muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue becomes torn during an activity such as sprinting or kicking a ball. A tear in a Thigh muscle is referred to as a Thigh strain and depending on its severity it is classified as a first, second or third degree strain:a first degree strain is damage to a few muscle fibresa second degree strain is damage to a more extensive number of muscle fibresa third degree strain is a complete rupture of the muscle itself Top of Page Thigh Muscle Strain Signs & Symptoms With a grade one Thigh strain the signs may not be present until after the activity is over. There may be a sensation of cramp or Thigh tightness and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted. With a grade two Thigh strain there is immediate pain which is more severe than the pain of a grade one injury and produces pain on walking. It is confirmed by pain on stretch and contraction of the muscle. A grade two Thigh strain is usually sore to touch."

"text": "\"CHRONIC VENOUS DISEASE OVERVIEWChronic venous disease is a common disorder that affects the veins of the legs. These veins carry blood from the legs to the heart. Normal veins have a series of valves that open and close to direct blood flow from the surface of the legs to the deep leg veins, from which calf muscles pump blood back to the heart. The valves also control the pressure in smaller veins on the legs' surface. If the valves within the veins fail to work properly, there is a blockage to normal flow, or the calf muscles cannot pump properly, blood can flow backwards in the veins and pool in the legs. The pooled blood can increase pressure in the veins. This can cause problems that range in severity from mild (such as a feeling of leg heaviness, aching, or dilated or unsightly veins) to severe (such as swelling of the leg, ankles or feet, skin color changes, skin rash on the leg, recurrent skin infections, and chronic ulcers). People who develop these more severe symptoms are said to have chronic venous insufficiency. CHRONIC VENOUS DISEASE CAUSESAny problem that increases pressure in the veins in the legs can widen the veins. This can damage the valves, which leads to even higher pressures and worsened vein function and can eventually lead to chronic venous disease."

It’s likely something most of us haven’t ever heard of before. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), also known as posterior tibial tendon syndrome or tibialis posterior syndrome, can develop into a tibialis posterior tendon insufficiency which causes a fallen arch. How to Self-Treat Posterior Tibialis Pain The posterior tibialis muscle is a particularly important muscle in runners as it is used in plantar flexing the ankle (pointing the ankle/toes downward) and inverting the ankle (rolling it inward). More importantly, its role is to support the arch of the foot. Injury to this muscle is common in runners as well as those who play sports, such as basketball, involving high foot impact. It can be associated with a fall or can generally develop overtime depending on your risk factors and the strain your foot has taken. Typically, PTTD begins as an overuse injury. It is almost always progressive in nature. It begins with pain in the ankle, and then progresses to a more serious condition, such as a falling of the arch."

While the use of various treatments, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs ), Glucocorticoid treatments, and Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often effective ways to reduce inflammation, there are additional interventions that may help. The use of compression socks not only can help reduce pain and swelling, but can also impact our ability to sense where our limbs are in space (also known as proprioception). 1 The improved sensation and spacial awareness of our limbs can make it easier and safer to walk. So, we wanted to know more about your experience with compression socks. We asked our Facebook Community the following questions, and we received some great feedback!Does anyone use compression socks when their feet swell? Does it help with the pain? How else do you manage swelling? Here’s what you had to say!I haven’t tried compression socks, but I have tried other compression gear I haven’t used compression socks yet but I highly recommend compression gloves for finger and hand swelling. I have not used socks, but I highly recommend IMAK gloves!"

A: Quick Answer Anole lizards in the wild feed on small, live insects, including flies, beetles, crickets, moths, butterflies, ants and termites, as well as spiders, slugs, worms and other invertebrates. Since the anole lizard's sight is based on movement, its prey needs to be alive or otherwise mobile in order for it to be eaten. In the wild, anole lizards hydrate themselves with the dew found on plants. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Blue-Tailed Skinks Eat? What Do Blue-Tailed Lizards Eat? What Do Spotted Salamanders Eat? Full Answer In captivity, anole lizards are most often fed on a diet of crickets. Mealworms are another common food, but anoles can show an aversion to eating them. Healthy, wild insects are an appropriate prey for anoles, but it is crucial to select specimens that are smaller than the anoles themselves."

Males have a pinkish throat fan that is displayed in territorial rivalries or when approaching a potential mate. The green anole is most easily distinguished form the similar brown anole ( Anolis sagrei) by green or lightly patterned brown coloration, pinkish throat fan, and by range. Range and Habitat: The green anole is a common lizard throughout Georgia and South Carolina, but is absent from some areas in the mountains. Anoles are generally arboreal (living in trees) but can be found almost anywhere. Anoles are commonly found in suburban or even urban areas and can often be seen perched on fences and rooftops. Habits: Anoles are active by day in warm weather and often bask in vegetation, occasionally charging away from a basking spot to grab and inset or chase off a rival anole. During cool weather anoles are often found hiding under tree bark, shingles, or in rotten logs."

Bats can be found in caves in less populated areas of the islands and are sometimes spotted flying at night. It is not uncommon for several dozen bats to roosts together in a cave. They are primarily insect eaters and nectar drinkers however there is a fisherman!The fisherman bat is a threatened species in the Virgin Islands. The bat roosts in caves near the sea, woodlands and in roofs of old houses. Through the use of echolocation or sonar, the bat detects ripples caused by fish swimming close to the water’s surface and uses it’s long, curved claws to catch them, thus the name fishermen bat. They are good swimmers and they use their wings as oars. The species’ numbers have greatly declined because of coastal development."

Jenssen, Biology Department, Virginia Tech If you live in the southeastern United States, you might be lucky enough to have the green anole (Anolis carolinensis) sharing the yard and garden with you. This small and rather unassuming lizard can be found basking or scurrying about in its normal bush and tree habitat, but it can also adjust to using decks, walls, and other human-made structures as part of its home range. The green anole is so named because it is usually bright green, though it can shift to brown when it is cold or socially stressed. The green anole is particularly noticeable during the breeding season (April-July), when territorial males frequently move about on patrol and advertise their domain with visual displays. These displays, consisting of head bobbing and the extension of an impressive pink throat fan (also called a dewlap), make the males quite conspicuous. You might note these little lizards with a passing curiosity, but really not give them much more thought. However, the green anole deserves a much closer look because it has a very interesting social system. Anolis carolinensis is a member of the largest genus of lizards, totaling more than 375 species. Almost all of these anoline species are found in the tropics. However, the green anole is one of the exceptions, being distributed as far north as southern Virginia and Tennessee, and eastward to central Texas and southeastern Oklahoma."

While they gain their common name from their vivid lime-green coloration, these lizards are capable of color change, and may spend just as much time displaying various hues of brown as they do green. Contrary to popular belief, these color shifts are more a result of mood and temperature than of their surroundings. Green anoles are common and inexpensive lizards that can be very rewarding to keep if properly cared for. Unfortunately, due to their low price and status as \"\"disposable\"\" pets, they are seldom ste up correctly and often die prematurely as a result. However, by following the guidelines below, you should have no trouble keeping many generations of these fascinating lizards in your terrarium. Size and Longevity Male green anoles, which are typically much larger than females, reach full size at around 8 inches in total length. Females are usually in the 6 inch range, and of a more slender build. If all husbandry and nutritional needs are met, anoles can live up to 7 years in captivity. Purchasing younger (smaller) anoles will ensure a longer life under your care."

Animals have an innate range of somatic adaptability. That is, their bodies have a range within which their bodies can adapt to changing conditions. For instance, if you live at sea level, and you jump into your car and drive up into the mountains, and get out at 8000 feet, you're going to feel a bit short of breath when you get out of the car. Within a few hours your body will adapt, expressing the genre that create more hemoglobin and open up more lung capacity. You body is doing those kinds of adaptations constantly. Maybe that's not what you mean though, so another example could be these Green Anole lizards people have been studying in Florida. A new competitor (Brown Anole lizards) moved into their territory, forcing them to move higher into the trees. Since falling from farther up is more dangerous, bigger toes for gripping branches are an advantage."

Credit: Alias 0591 CC-BY 2.0Full Answer Most geckos are relatively opportunistic predators, and they will eat virtually any animal they can catch that is small enough to consume. Some species tend to prefer a particular type of prey, while others primarily consume one species of prey because that particular prey species happens to be abundant. Geckos are usually ambush hunters that wait for prey to come within range."

Iguanas are also sold by breeders in the U. S. Lizards are reptiles. Like snakes, iguanas have scales, lay eggs, and are cold-blooded. So iguanas shed their skin, lay their eggs in large nests, and bask in the sun to boost their body temperature. Iguanas require year-round warm weather to survive in the wild. If the temperature drops below 40 degrees, iguanas become sluggish. Their metabolism slows and their skin turns dark from the stress."

While they gain their common name from their vivid lime-green coloration, these lizards are capable of color change, and may spend just as much time displaying various hues of brown as they do green. Contrary to popular belief, these color shifts are more a result of mood and temperature than of their surroundings. Green anoles are common and inexpensive lizards that can be very rewarding to keep if properly cared for. Unfortunately, due to their low price and status as \"\"disposable\"\" pets, they are seldom ste up correctly and often die prematurely as a result. However, by following the guidelines below, you should have no trouble keeping many generations of these fascinating lizards in your terrarium. Size and Longevity Male green anoles, which are typically much larger than females, reach full size at around 8 inches in total length. Females are usually in the 6 inch range, and of a more slender build. If all husbandry and nutritional needs are met, anoles can live up to 7 years in captivity. Purchasing younger (smaller) anoles will ensure a longer life under your care."

Every few months, it seems, we hears about new species of lizards in desert springs, cave spiders in the Sierra Nevada, or hitherto unknown plant species just about anywhere in the state. The lizards that biologists just found thriving in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles aren't a new species: they're the extremely well-studied green anole. But as the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum's Lila Higgins reports, the discovery marks the first confirmed established population of the common reptile in Los Angeles County, and scientists are curious as to what effect the little lizards may be having on native wildlife. Green anoles are native to the southeastern U. S. and nearby islands, where ironically they're in trouble due to competition from exotic reptiles. Hancock Park isn't the first beachhead green anoles have made in the state: a population has been established in San Diego's Balboa Park for many years, and reptile watchers also report a thriving colony of the sleek lizards in and around Temecula. Individual green anoles have been documented in places like Northridge and Chino Hills. And according to Higgins, Hancock Park neighbors have told Natural History Museum herpetologist Greg Pauly that the anoles have been there as long as they can remember.

"text": "What is an antiseptic? An antiseptic is a chemical agent that slows or stops the growth of micro-organisms (germs) on external surfaces of the body and helps to prevent infections. Antiseptics should be distinguished from antibiotics that destroy micro-organisms inside the body, and from disinfectants, which destroy micro-organisms found on inanimate (non-living) objects. However, antiseptics are often referred to as skin disinfectants. Most chemical agents can be used as both an antiseptic and a disinfectant. The purpose for which it is used is determined by its concentration. For example hydrogen peroxide 6% solution is used for cleansing wounds, while stronger solutions (> 30%) are used in industry as a bleach and oxidising agent. Antiseptics Types of antiseptic Antiseptics can be classified according to their chemical structure. Commonly used antiseptic groups include alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorhexidine and other diguanides, antibacterial dyes, chlorine and hypochlorites, inorganic iodine compounds, metals, peroxides and permanganates, halogenated phenol derivatives and quinolone derivatives. The following table lists some of the agents within these groups."

Betadine is an over-the-counter topical antiseptic meant to reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin. It contains povidone-iodine, which is a potent antispetic. For many reasons, veterinarian surgeons use it when preparing the skin for surgery. It is also great for dog wounds. Here are some factors to consider: It burns. You must always dilute it prior to its use. Betadine is normally of a dark brown color, so you'll have to dilute it with water until it's a weaker tea color.

In fact, we have long recommended it based on its widespread use among the backyard chicken community. We just assumed it was safe to use on poultry. But is it? After fielding a question from a fan recently which prompted a bit of research, we're starting to wonder... After taking a closer look at the ingredients in Blu-Kote and the can labeling, and noticing that it is not approved for use on horses to be used for food, we started to wonder if it's safe to use on chickens to be used for meat or eggs. To get the facts, I went right to the source and called Dr. Naylor, the company that makes and sells Blu-Kote.

An antibiotic mouthwash is not the same thing as an antiseptic mouthwash, which is what most people buy over-the-counter to help prevent cavities and control bad breath. Instead, it is an oral solution that contains an antibiotic medication and is usually available only by prescription. The most common active ingredient in antibiotic mouthwash is the drug chlorhexidine, a chemical antimicrobial typically used to treat gum disease. A dentist may prescribe a chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse when signs of gum disease are present. These signs include inflammation, redness and bleeding of the gums. Other uses for antibiotic mouthwash include prevention of tooth decay and infection following oral surgery. This type of mouthwash may also be prescribed to treat ulcers or sores in the mouth. In antiseptic mouthwash, the ingredients that do so are typically hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and thymol and are not as strong as the class of medications contained in prescription antibiotic mouthwash. Even so, both mouthwashes have the same effect — killing germs on the surface of living tissue."

But what causes that \"\"old-person smell\"\"? \"\" There's absolutely a particular smell we associate with aging, but there isn't one specific cause,\"\" says Eric Shapira, a physician and clinical gerontologist in Half Moon Bay, California, and author of A New Wrinkle: What I Learned from People Who Never Acted Their Age (i Universe, 2009). \"\" It's a combination of many different things that are all associated with what happens to the body as we get older. \"\" Find Assisted Living Near You Here are the ten main reasons experts say older people and their homes have that \"\"old-person smell. \"\"1. Closed Quarters If you've spent time with older adults, you've probably observed that their homes tend to be stuffy; open windows are not a common phenomenon. \"\" Most older people's homes I go into have the heat on, the windows shut tight, the shades drawn, and the curtains pulled over the shades,\"\" says Brenda Avadian, founder of The Caregivers Voice, a newsletter for caregivers. \"\""

"text": "30 Things you should have in your Emergency First Aid Kits Off The Grid Safety, Survival 161When it comes to survival gear, first aid kits are one of the most overlooked preparedness items out there. I know, they aren’t as fun to talk about as survival knives, bug out bags, and firearms; but when it comes to practical emergency preparedness items, the reality of the situation is that your medical bag is probably going to get more use that any other items in your survival stash. If you haven’t dedicated time to really making sure your first aid needs are covered, you need to rethink your preparedness planning and do some serious work on making sure your first aid needs are covered. What items go into a First Aid Kit? A good first aid kit is always developed around your unique medical needs. There is no one size fits all solution, so every bag should be customized to deal with the most likely medical emergencies that you might experience. That means taking an inventory of who is in your household, what medications they are taking, what health problems they may have, and what you need to help them survive during times of crisis. While every kit is going to be a bit different, there are some things that every bag should have. Here are the top items that we include in our first aid kit list; these medical items should be the foundation that your bag is built upon, and will help you get going. Have a Way to Stop bleeding and Close Wounds Every good medical kit should have items that can be used to help stop bleeding, close and protect cuts, and help prevent infection from setting in."

But what happens if an accident, or worse, an attack, results in wounds that need tending? This is a question that every prepper asks themselves. It is fairly easy to accumulate supplies for first aid and wound control but what about the tools you will use to tend to the hurt or wounded member of your group? Given an austere setting where traditional medical facilities are not available, how do you ensure that your instruments are clean, sterile, and fit for use? Save These are important questions and to provide you with answers, Dr. Joe Alton is back with some advice not only relative to six ways you can sterilize your medical supplies, but also a general discussion of clean versus sterile and the difference between disinfectants, antiseptics, and antibiotics.

In the following sections, we cover proper nipple piercing care, including how to clean your new nipple piercings, what you should and shouldn't do during the healing process, how long it will take for your new nipple piercings to heal, when you can change your jewelry for the first time, how to change your jewelry, and more. We also discuss what you should know before getting your nipples pierced and how to change your nipple rings, stretch your nipple piercings, and identify and address nipple piercing problems. Before You Get Nipple Piercings There are a few things you should know about nipple piercings before you take the plunge and get pierced. Most importantly, be prepared for the commitment involved with getting nipple piercings. The average nipple piercing healing time is between 9 and 12 months. While your nipple piercings are healing, you have to perform aftercare regularly and take other measures to protect your new piercings so they can heal properly. You'll have to avoid nipple play of any kind during that time, even though it will be tempting to tinker with your new jewelry. You don't want to risk irritating your healing fistulas (piercing holes) or putting yourself at risk of developing an infection. Since many women experience tenderness and swollen breasts during menstruation, it's best to get nipple piercings in between menstrual cycles."

The latest one to debut on the small screen, APB, premieres Monday, Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. ET on FOX. However, this one is going to be quite different from all of the police procedurals that have come before it and likely the ones that are sure to come after it, too. For starters, the name APB is pretty unique. That's the kind of title that's sure to have a lot of viewers wondering what APB stands for. Well, it looks like this new series is going to help you decipher police jargon right off the bat. APB is an acronym that stands for all-points bulletin. It's a message that's sent out to alert law enforcement officials to be on the lookout for an individual, such as a suspect, or something, such as a vehicle, in connection with a crime, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. You may also hear APB referred to by other acronyms, including BOLO or BOL, which stands for \"\"be on the lookout,\"\" or ATL, which stands for \"\"attempt to locate. \"\""

National Archives of Australia: A8739, A16/3/77/11From the late 1700s, the spread of settlement across New South Wales by non-Indigenous people gradually pushed Aboriginal people off their land. NSW governments responded in many cases by setting aside parcels of land for the sole use of Aboriginal people. Across the state, Aboriginal reserves were created as a political response to the dispossession of Aboriginal people from their land. Over time, the creation of reserves or similar parcels of land were driven by different philosophies and initiated by different groups – churches, government, non-Aboriginal residents of towns or Aboriginal people themselves. Though some Aboriginal people had little choice but to live on the reserves, they often developed very deep attachments to them and to the areas adjacent to the reserves. Broadly speaking, there were three types of spaces formally set aside by the government specifically for Aboriginal people to live on: Aboriginal reserves: Aboriginal reserves were parcels of land set aside for Aboriginal people to live on; these were not managed by the government or its officials. From 1883 onwards, the Aboriginal people who were living on unmanaged reserves received rations and blankets from the Aborigines Protection Board (APB), but remained responsible for their own housing. 1 Such reserves included Forster 2 and Burnt Bridge. Aboriginal missions: Aboriginal missions were created by churches or religious individuals to house Aboriginal people and train them in Christian ideals and to also prepare them for work."

"text": "Home » Divisions » Georgia Crime Information Center Georgia Crime Information Center History In February 1971, Governor Jimmy Carter created a study committee to develop a Master Plan for a Criminal Justice Information System in Georgia. The Governor believed that criminal justice agencies needed more complete, accurate and timely information about crime and criminals to combat crime. The plan, published in June 1972, recommended the establishment of a central agency to set and enforce state/federal law, policies and rules for a statewide computerized criminal justice system. Thus, GCIC was established by Executive Order of Governor Carter in 1972 and assigned to the Division of Investigation of the Department of Public Safety (DPS). In 1973, under Governor Carter’s Executive Reorganization Act, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) was established as a separate agency from DPS. GCIC continued as a division of GBI and GCIC’s enabling legislation, Georgia Law 92A-30 was passed. Prior to the creation of the GCIC, information about offenders and crime was limited to individual local agency records and the relatively small records base of the GBI’s fingerprint identification bureau. In addition to creating GCIC, the Master Plan for a Criminal Justice Information System in Georgia called for new laws requiring the reporting of data on crime and criminals by local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to include submission of arrestee fingerprints and final dispositions of arrest charges as well as the entry of wanted/missing persons and stolen property records. The GCIC secured federal funds through the State Crime Commission, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), and the federally funded Project SEARCH to develop computerized criminal justice information services for all components of Georgia’s criminal justice community. The backbone of these service systems was a computer based network of terminals located in local police departments, sheriff’s offices, courts, correctional institutions, and federal and state law enforcement agencies."

The overall Technical Baseline rolls up into the APB and consists of the following configuration baselines: Functional Baseline: [1] Definition of the required system functionality describing functional and interface characteristics of the overall system, and the verification required to demonstrate the achievement of those specified functional characteristics. This baseline is derived from the Capability Development Document (CDD) and normally includes a detailed functional performance specification for the overall system and the tests necessary to verify and validate overall system performance. The functional baseline is normally established and put under configuration control at the System Functional Review (SFR). It is usually verified with a System Verification Review (SVR) and/or a Functional Configuration Audit (FCA). Allocated Baseline: [1] Definition of the configuration items making up a system, and then how system function and performance requirements are allocated across lower level configuration items (hence the term allocated baseline). It includes all functional and interface characteristics that are allocated from the top level system or higher-level configuration items, derived requirements, interface requirements with other configuration items, design constraints, and the verification required to demonstrate the traceability and achievement of specified functional, performance, and interface characteristics. The performance of each configuration item in the allocated baseline is described in its preliminary design specification as are the tests necessary to verify and validate configuration item performance. The allocated baseline is usually established and put under configuration control at each configuration item’s (hardware and software) Preliminary Design Review (PDR), culminating in a system allocated baseline established at the system-level PDR. Product Baseline: [1] Documentation describing all of the necessary functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item; the selected functional and physical characteristics designated for production acceptance testing; and tests necessary for deployment/installation, operation, support, training, and disposal of the configuration item."

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) uses GAAP as the foundation for its comprehensive set of approved accounting methods and practices. U. S. law requires businesses that release financial statements to the public and companies that are publicly traded on stock exchanges and indices to follow GAAP guidelines, which incorporate 10 key concepts: Principle of regularity: GAAP-compliant accountants strictly adhere to established rules and regulations. Principle of consistency: Consistent standards are applied throughout the financial reporting process. Principle of sincerity: GAAP-compliant accountants are committed to accuracy and impartiality. Principle of permanence of methods: Consistent procedures are used in the preparation of all financial reports. Principle of non-compensation: All aspects of an organization’s performance, whether positive or negative, are fully reported with no prospect of debt compensation.

Tips on Improving Home Value for Appraisal How Long Does it Take to Get a House Appraised? The purpose of a property appraisal is for the appraiser to see firsthand the home's location, the quality and condition of its construction, the home's amenities, and special features that may affect the property's value. The appraiser compares these and other factors to those of similar homes that have recently sold in the neighborhood. It's the comparison that ultimately determines the home's value and marketability. External Factors Almost every appraiser in the country uses Fannie Mae's Uniform Residential Appraisal Report, a set of standards that determine the scope of an appraiser's inspection. When using the URAR, the appraiser is obligated to inspect the home's fixed qualities, such as its structure, age and location. Specifically, with regard to the exterior of a property, an appraiser looks at the site, the quality of construction, the integrity of the roof and foundation, any issues with the guttering or siding, parking facilities and the home's observable external condition. The neighborhood also has an impact on the home's value. Internal Factors Inside the home, the appraiser is chiefly concerned with total square footage and functional layout – how well the space is used."

"text": "Home Appraisal Methods Prev NEXTThe appraiser looks at the asking and purchase price of other comparable properties when making an appraisal. Ethan Miller/ Getty Images When you apply for a mortgage, your lender typically requires the property to be appraised by one of their approved appraisers. This practice helps create more consistent appraisals and gives you assurance that the appraiser is properly licensed and certified. Even though the home appraisal is the lender's requirement, it's the borrower's responsibility. You usually pay for it as part of the mortgage costs at the time of closing. The cost is typically around $300 but can be more depending on the price of the property. There are two primary appraisal methods for residential property. In the sales comparison approach, the appraiser compares the property with three or four similar homes that have sold in the area, often called comparables, or comps. The analysis considers specific components, such as lot size, square footage of finished and unfinished space, style and age of house, as well as other features such as garages and fireplaces. The cost approach is used more for new property and is based on reproduction costs."

In some cases, the answer is yes, says Beth Spier, who recently walked away from a home that appraised for $20,000 less than what she had agreed to pay the seller. \"\" The house appraised at $310,000, and we had bid $330,000,\"\" Spier says of the home she was under contract to purchase in Davie, Fla. She tried to renegotiate after the house was appraised, but the seller refused to reduce the price. Because of bank lending requirements, Spier would have to pay the $20,000 difference out of pocket. \"\" They wanted me to get the mortgage on $310,000 and pay the difference,\"\" she says. \"\" Sometimes it's worth it when you think the value of the house is going to go up over time, but I didn't see that there. \"\" Spier ended up buying another home with an appraisal that supported the purchase price. Letting go of a home when the appraised value is lower than the contract price is not always as simple as it was for Spier."

"text": "\"If you have secured an FHA-insured loan, found the home you want to buy and started a sales agreement, then you’re ready for the next stage of the FHA approval process, which is the appraisal. While FHA appraisers put an emphasis on safety during their process, the goals are two-fold–to make sure the home doesn’t have any major safety problems and to determine the home’s actual market value for the purposes of sale. Ordering the Appraisal As of February 2010, FHA-approved lenders are not in charge of ordering home appraisals. The FHA now uses appraisal management companies to randomly assign home appraisals to FHA-approved appraisers. This means that lenders will have less contact with appraisers during the home evaluation process, which removes some level of bias or favoritism on the part of lenders selecting appraisers. You can determine if the appraiser assigned to evaluate your home is in fact FHA-approved by checking the FHA’s website, which has a clearinghouse of all approved appraisers nationwide. Touring the Property The appraiser’s first task is to view the property. FHA appraisers put an emphasis on safety when they walk through the property, but it should not be confused with a home inspection, which provides a deeper look at what may be wrong with the home. A FHA appraiser seeks to find major problems that can affect value, such as leaky roofs, toxic chemicals, insufficient heating and cooling ventilation, and poor water and sewage drainage. These problems may result in the appraiser recommending they be fixed before a loan is approved, as well as reducing the value of the home."

I understand that this is a loaded question and there are a million and one variables that impact value (i.e. location, existing buildings, tillable land/forest, water/gas/electricity availability, etc), but specifically, I'm looking at SW Michigan about as far north as Grand Rapids. I've come across some vastly differing results. I've found prices going anywhere from $3,500/acre for a property w/ a 3br, 2 bath manufactured home, pond, mix of pasture/woods, to a piece of property that works out to $6,800/acre with no house, but a decent looking pole barn (almost twice as expensive/acre). I'm still a few years away from pulling the trigger on the purchase, but for purposes of trying to budget/compare property prices, is $4,500-$5,000/acre a reasonable range? For those of you that live outside the region & would like to chime in, please feel free to provide your location, price/acre, when you acquired your property & what prices are going for in your area today.

By Amy Pennza Attorney Source Home appraisers value property by doing a walk-through of the house and then using one of two standard valuation methods: either the \"\"sales comparison approach\"\" or the \"\"cost approach.\"\" Occasionally, an appraiser might apply both valuation methods in an effort to pinpoint an extremely accurate value. A home appraisal provides the best determination of a home's value. The Walk-Through Unlike other forms of home valuation, such as reports put together by real estate agents, home appraisals are prepared by licensed home appraisers. These professionals look at a variety of factors when valuing real estate. Among other things, they consider a home's size, layout, and how well it has been maintained. They also factor in surrounding properties and recent sales of similar homes. The walk-through is the first step in a residential home appraisal and easily the most important part of the entire process. During this step, the appraiser visits the home and performs a visual inspection of the inside and outside of the property."

"text": "Sep 8, 2014 | Home Buyer Guidance During the process of obtaining a mortgage loan, many first-time homeowners receive a home appraisal report but are unclear about what determines the value of their property. The process of evaluating a home’s potential worth can be daunting, as there is a lot of interplay between various organizations. What Is Value? The value of a home is its estimated current worth, plus the future benefits that would come from owning the property. These benefits are gained over a long period of time, sometimes over the full term of the loan. This means that value is influenced by government regulations, economic trends and other social factors that impact the housing market. Real estate value is not equivalent to cost; the latter looks at today’s expenditures, such as the materials and labor used to build the home. A house that cost $100,000 to build could have a higher value if it is located in a great school system or it could have a significantly lower value if there’s a major problem with its foundation. Exact value calculations differ. Potential factors include cost of the home and property, its location, expected appreciation of land value, future investment implications and age of the home."

It’s often a point of contention for many veterans because the requirements are often very strict. But once service members understand the details of the appraisal and inspection process, many are glad they have this safeguard in place to protect them. During our VA Loan Q&A Google Hangout with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Military.com and the National Association of Realtors, we were able to debunk any misconceptions and dig deep into the reasons for the appraisal process. In the video, John Bell states that the number one reason the VA sets such stringent guidelines on the appraisal process is to protect the veterans to “make sure that when veterans move into a home, it’s safe, sound and sanitary. We want to make sure that there’s not going to be a leak a week after you move in. ”Margo Willis from the National Association of Realtors reiterated the importance of the inspection and appraisal, and how they truly are a benefit to service members. By knowing that you are moving into a home that is free and clear of any surprises provides a very solid peace of mind. As for the misconception that the VA loan appraisal process is laborious and slow, the VA is actually in the process of enhancing the review process, their systems and providing the staff appraisers more tools to be able to do their jobs more quickly and efficiently. But what about inspections?"

"text": "Buying a home involves more than just getting pre-approved for a mortgage (which can be a project on its own.) Once you’ve made an offer, negotiated terms, agreed to a price and locked in your interest rate, you’ll still have to deal with a home appraisal and a home inspection before you can close. A home appraisal is an estimate of your prospective abode’s true property value, ordered by your lender. A home inspection is a thorough evaluation of the property’s condition, designed to flag any issues that may not be readily apparent (like termite damage or mold.) Both are key parts of the homebuying process. In order to help you get through them without any major problems, here’s a primer on home appraisals and home inspections. ( A quick aside before we dive in: Lenders are known to pull an applicant’s credit after they’ve pre-approved a home loan, usually right before closing. As such, you’ll want to be careful not to do anything that will damage your credit scores, lest you lose out on the financing.

"text": "Banking and Loans Home Loans What Are Appraisal Fees and What Are They For? Definition and Explanation Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated December 28, 2017An appraisal fee covers the cost of having a professional appraiser evaluate a home and estimate the market value of the home. The cost is often around $300 to $500, but prices depend on the specific property. Unique properties, large houses, and remote locations typically cost more to appraise. Without an acceptable appraisal, you cannot borrow money to purchase or refinance a home. Appraisal fees should be shown to you up-front on your Loan Estimate or Good Faith Estimate, but the exact amount of the fee might be unknown when the estimate is created. You often pay those fees out-of-pocket using a check or credit card, but sometimes you pay for appraisals at closing. Why Lenders Need Appraisals Lenders need to know that they are not giving you a reasonable amount of money. They want to verify that the house is worth more than you’re borrowing so that they can recover their money—unless there’s a significant drop in home prices. A loan guarantee: When you get a mortgage loan, the property serves as collateral for the loan: If you stop making payments, the lender can take possession of the property, sell it, and use the sales proceeds to pay off your debt."

"text": "\"When it comes to real estate, the appraisal is the linchpin around which all else revolves. Both buyers and sellers are in a holding pattern until the appraiser arrives at the property, looks it over and comes back with a figure for what he thinks the place is worth. Such is the case whether the property in question is a single-family house in the suburbs or a $200-million office tower in the city. \"\" Nothing happens in real estate until the appraisal report is signed and an opinion of the property's value is provided,\"\" says Brian Coester, an appraiser who presides over his own appraisal management company. With that in mind, here are some things you should know:•There is a major disconnect within the lending business. Some lenders — and real estate agents — think the appraiser's job is to get the deal done, whereas appraisers generally think of lenders as money-hungry outfits that don't understand the appraisal profession. According to Coester, chief executive of Coester VMS in Rockville, Md., the appraiser's job is to be unbiased and completely independent of the transaction, while at the same time being realistic and practical.•The appraiser's valuation is his or her opinion — repeat, opinion — of what the property is worth. It doesn't matter what the buyer is willing to pay or what the seller is willing to accept. \"\" Two appraisers could do an appraisal on the same day, on the same house, come up with two different values and have them both be right,\"\" Coester says. \"\" The reality is that value is really the appraiser's opinion, not an average, not a range, but a number the appraiser picks by looking at the data, understanding the market and all factors considered. \"\""

As a homeowner, ultimately it is your responsibility to determine how much money will you need to rebuild your home exactly the way it is now should you suffer a total loss caused by a fire or other covered peril. Not only do you need to know what it will cost to rebuild exactly as it is now, but more than likely you may be required by your city as a result of current building codes to do additional work to meet the current building codes. Those additional items required to meet the current building codes could add thousands of dollars to your repairs costs. I will give real examples of this later on. Based upon the amount of damage sustanined, you may be even required as a result of the building codes to tear down undamaged parts of your dwelling. If the latter happens, you may not be fully compensated for the value of the undamaged portion that has to be torn down. With all the above in mind, trying to determine how many dollars you will actually need can be very challenging! From my experience in the business, I would say most homeowners are not equipped with the knowledge to accurately determine how much it may cost to rebuild their home and in the process how changes in building codes may effect the amount of coverage needed at the time of loss. From my discussion with many homeowners over the years, I would say many want to rely on someone else to determine the dollar amount needed."

Appraised Value How to Calculate the Fair Market Value of a Home Any valuation of your house is an estimate. Even a professional appraisal is an opinion, albeit an educated one, of what the property might sell for if it were on the market. A property's value is also a snapshot in time, because its value changes over time: the local housing market might improve or decline; a downtown nearby might have a renaissance or a decline, thereby raising or lowering property values of homes in the area; the house itself may be given an addition or fall into disrepair. Nonetheless, there are several ways to find an estimated value of your home. The Assessed Value Look at your most recent property tax bill. It will contain a tax assessed value for the property. Then look for an assessment rate, which in most states will be somewhere between 80 and 90 percent. Property taxes are a percentage of the property's tax assessed value, and the property's tax assessed value is a percentage of its fair market value (FMV)."

Well, it implies the interaction between living organisms and non-living objects occurring in the land masses of continents. Only 28 percent of the Earth’s surface belongs to terrestrial ecosystems. Learn more facts about terrestrial ecosystems in this article. What are Terrestrial Ecosystems? An ecosystem refers to the interrelation of biotic and abiotic factors. In simpler terms, an ecosystem is an entity where living organisms interact with the physical environment. It is an area where physical objects (such as soil, rock, water) function together with plants and animals. An ecosystem can be categorized into two major types: aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems generally refer to interaction of living and non-living entities in lakes, streams, marshes and ponds."

Definition An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed by fresh water from rivers flowing into and mixing with ocean saltwater. Often, the fresh water is prevented from flowing into the open ocean by land masses such as peninsulas, islands, or surrounding salt marshes. This makes estuaries unique environments that sustain a diverse biological community of plants and animals. Some of the most commonly known estuaries in the United States are the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, and the Indian River Lagoon."

"text": "Difference Between Habitat and Niche May 20, 2017 By Rachna C Leave a Comment Habitat is a set of the place of environmental conditions in which particular organism lives and adapt the situation accordingly. A niche is nothing but an idea or role played by organisms that how they can live in an environment including their diet, shelter, etc. Mainly niche is concerned with the factor of gaining energy by organisms and supplying it to other, in the ecosystem. A habitat defines the interaction of organisms with the other factors, which can be living or non-living, while niche describes how that specific organism is linked with its physical and biological environment. Habitat is the part of the ecosystem, while niche plays an important role in the formation of an ecosystem. Both the words describe the living habits of the organisms of all kinds of species, how they interact with each other, what do they eat, their shelter, etc. Each organism plays their particular role in its ecosystem and also have their own defined niche in the ecosystem. Ecology is the study of all the living beings and their interactions with the environment, whether a plant or an animal or other organisms. It also includes non-living things such as temperature, soil, water, rocks, climate, etc. The above-described terms are the part of ecosystem only, and they are very closely related, having a thin layer of difference, which is mark full though."

A lake is where surface-water runoff (and maybe some groundwater seepage) have accumulated in a low spot, relative to the surrounding countryside. It's not that the water that forms lakes get trapped, but that the water entering a lake comes in faster than it can escape, either via outflow in a river, seepage into the ground, or by evaporation.

Effects include habitat alteration (conversion to farmland for crops and grazing), exotic pest introductions and pollution from pesticides and fertilizers. There is the potential for agriculture to play a beneficial role in the conservation of certain plant species, mainly by protecting habitats from urbanization. This could be achieved by cultivation processes that integrate wild species into agricultural landscapes. ( CBIN 1998)Agricultural activity provides jobs for almost 124 000 Quebecers and contributes over $3.5 billion, or 2%, to Quebec's GDP. ( Statistics Canada, 1994)Agriculture has the greatest impact on the environment of any human activity both because of the degree of habitat alteration that occurs and because of the widespread geographical scale of this alteration. Some of the impacts include: global changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, changes in natural genetic plant stocks, changes in established ecosystems, the introduction of exotic species and large-scale drainage modifications which disrupt natural flood regimes and increase topsoil erosion. ( Statistics Canada, 1994)Loss of habitat/species: Loss of native habitat in Canada due to farming has been significant: we have lost more than 85% of shortgrass prairie, 80% of mixed-grass prairie, 85% of aspen parkland and almost all our native tallgrass prairie. Loss of habitat, combined with reliance on a few genetically-engineered crop strains instead of indigenous crops, have resulted in the endangerment of a disproportionately large number of plant and animal species in Canada. ( CBIN, 1992)Erosion: Soil erosion is an agricultural problem because natural vegetation has been removed from an area."

Many of these species are in danger, largely due to the destruction and degradation of their natural habitats. The earth is currently experiencing changes to its natural environment that are unprecedented in historic times. Current extinction rates are on the order of 10,000 times higher than at any previous time in the Earth’s history. It appears that while natural process can be blamed in part for the decline in the number of species, habitat destruction and fragmentation is now thought to be the primary cause of the decline in biodiversity. In fact, the Center for Conservation Biology (Fall 2003) recently reported that human settlement and use patterns often echo the distribution of habitats and high biodiversity. Surprise, not really. We all want to live in areas with moderate climate, good water supply, arable land, and forest resources. Do we care? As reported in the summer 2001 issue of Conservation Biology, a recent survey conducted for the Biodiversity Project found that the public’s overall concern for species and habitat loss appears to be waning."

"text": "\"Max Wadley, AP Biology Student Answered Mar 13, 2018Abiotic components of an ecosystem are a set of nonliving factors that have an effect on the distribution of a certain species. If physical conditions of an ecosystem don’t allow an organism to successfully live and reproduce in that certain area, you won’t find that organism in that area. The alpine tree-line up a mountain is a good example of abiotic factors limiting distribution of a species. At a certain elevation, there is not enough oxygen for a large tree to grow and reproduce, and so you will see a stark break in tree coverage on the side of a mountain. With this example in mind, there are a few abiotic factors that students of biology and ecology should know, although there are many more: Temperature Water Availability Salinity Sunlight Rocks/Soil Temperature Temperature is one of the most important factors because of its effect on internal processes. Animals without sufficient protection against cold can see their cells lyse when the water inside the cells freezes, and the proteins of most organisms denature and become inactive at a certain temperature. Metabolic activity can be limited by extreme cold or extreme heat, which is why you only find extremophile bacteria on the interior cavern of an active volcano. Water Availability All living organisms require water to survive, and so it should not be a surprise that if there isn’t enough water in an area for an organism to survive, it will not be found there. While the best example is the lack of evergreen trees in deserts, species on the seashore or tidal wetlands can dry out if the tide recedes for to long. You can replace “water” with any substance that organisms need to survive, like oxygen as seen in the alpine tree line limit."

They generally form in large open ocean areas that lie between land masses. The NPSG is the largest of the gyres as well as the largest ecosystem on our planet. Like other subtropical gyres, it has a high-pressure zone in its center. Circulation around the center is clockwise around this high-pressure zone. Subtropical gyres make up 40% of the Earth’s surface and play critical roles in carbon fixation and nutrient cycling. [ 1] This particular gyre covers most of the Pacific Ocean and comprises four prevailing ocean currents: the North Pacific Current to the north, the California Current to the east, the North Equatorial Current to the south, and the Kuroshio Current to the west.

The smaller the population, the less diversity it can contain. Selective breeding can affect diversity because undesirable characteristics are eliminated. Inbreeding leads to less genetic diversity. How are genetic diversity and extinction related? Species that have a low genetic diversity have less of a chance of developing useful adaptations or mutations, and are therefore more likely to go extinct.

Traditional drafter at work A drafter in Portugal in the 1970s, using a drafting machine A drafter, draughtsman ( British English) or draftsman, drafting technician ( American English and Canadian English) is a person who makes detailed technical drawings or plans for machinery, buildings, electronics, infrastructure, sections, etc. Drafters use computer software and manual sketches to convert the designs, plans, and layouts of engineers and architects into a set of technical drawings. Drafters operate as the supporting developers and sketch engineering designs and drawings from preliminary design concepts. Contents1 Overview2 Specialities3 Employment and work environment4 Education and training5 See also6 References Overview [ edit]In the past, drafters sat at drawing boards and used pencils, pens, compasses, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices to prepare a drawing by hand. From the 1980s through 1990s, board drawings were going out of style as the newly developed computer-aided design (CAD) system was released and was able to produce technical drawings at a faster pace. Many modern drafters now employ cutting edge computer software such as Auto CAD, Revit, and Solidworks to flesh out the designs of engineers or architects into technical drawings and blueprints but board drafting still remains the base of the CAD system. Many of these drawings are utilized to create structures, tools or machines."

An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture. Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to enable a building contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed work, and to make a record of a building that already exists. Architectural drawings are made according to a set of conventions, which include particular views (floor plan, section etc. ), sheet sizes, units of measurement and scales, annotation and cross referencing. Conventionally, drawings were made in ink on paper or a similar material, and any copies required had to be laboriously made by hand. The twentieth century saw a shift to drawing on tracing paper, so that mechanical copies could be run off efficiently."

Michael Graves & Associates Princeton, N. J. IT has become fashionable in many architectural circles to declare the death of drawing. What has happened to our profession, and our art, to cause the supposed end of our most powerful means of conceptualizing and representing architecture? The computer, of course. With its tremendous ability to organize and present data, the computer is transforming every aspect of how architects work, from sketching their first impressions of an idea to creating complex construction documents for contractors. For centuries, the noun “digit” (from the Latin “digitus”) has been defined as “finger,” but now its adjectival form, “digital,” relates to data. Are our hands becoming obsolete as creative tools? Are they being replaced by machines? And where does that leave the architectural creative process?"

Architectural and Civil Drafters make detailed drawings of architectural and structural features of buildings, foundations, landscapes, and other construction projects. They also produce drawings and topographical relief maps used in civil engineering projects, such as highways, bridges, and public works. Drafters use knowledge of building materials, engineering practices, and mathematics to complete drawings. They may work from existing drawings or may use rudimentary sketches, notes, or specification sheets. They draw maps, diagrams, and profiles using cross-sections and surveys to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface formations, and structures. Drafters also draw interior room arrangements for residential and commercial projects. Plans always need approval from clients, upper management, or building inspectors. Blueprints are almost always prepared, listing dimensions and detailing the arrangements of walls, fixtures, and other features of a project. In order to 'sell' the project design, drawings of buildings, landscapes, or interior designs may be made for presentation to clients."

"text": "Architecture and Math January 19, 2015 by 52 Comments If you ever thought about being an architect but thought you couldn’t handle the math, you aren’t alone. At parties across the land, as soon as someone finds out there is an architect in the crowd, there is a story being told about how they wanted to be an architect but since they couldn’t draw or weren’t very good at math, they decided to do something else. It’s too bad that more than most people think this but just like a handful of other stereotypes about architects that aren’t true, I am here to tell you that you do not have to be great at math to be an architect. You can’t be completely incompetent either, but if you can through school, it’s all downhill … at least until you have to the architectural licensing exam, but that’s a different post for a different day. I did a quick search for the phrase “good at math” in my Google mail and I received back 114 emails (and that just dating back to January of 2014). Do I have to be good at math if I want to be an Architect?~ just about every high school kid thinking about becoming an architect This is one of the more popular questions I get asked and today I am going to try to answer that question once and for all. The image above is a page out of my college structures composition notebook … yes, I still have it (along with all my other college notebooks, too what end I have no idea). I look back on the notes on these pages and a part of me wonders how I ever made it through … but that’s part of the message. I DID get through it and so would everyone else who wanted to be an architect. If you really think being an architect is the right thing for you, the math shouldn’t stand in your way."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Technical draw. Drafter at work Copying technical drawings in 1973Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed. Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual language and help to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand. Many of the symbols and principles of technical drawing are codified in an international standard called ISO 128. The need for precise communication in the preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual arts. Artistic drawings are subjectively interpreted; their meanings are multiply determined. Technical drawings are understood to have one intended meaning. [ 1]A drafter, draftsperson, or draughtsman is a person who makes a drawing (technical or expressive)."

In today’s world the simpler and more concise a drawing or map is, the better and faster a person can use it for its intended purpose. These instructions can help you achieve this given you have a basic understanding of Autodesk Software/vector based computer aided drafting and, specifically, the commands and procedures within Auto CAD. If unfamiliar with Auto CAD software please refer to Flow Jet Series parts 1 to 6 found on the Instructables website. Creating understandable floor plans from an architectural drawing will help you complete a Utah State University standard working single floor plan of a of approximately 10,000 square feet in 1.5 to 3.5 hours depending on your Auto CAD proficiency. The floor plans created may be used to calculate space and direction data for any and all who rely on them. These plans may even be able to provide hours of enjoyment when printed on paper that can be folded into a paper airplane!Add Tip Ask Question Step 1: Preparation Ensure that the following things are at your disposal: Auto CAD software installed Architectural CAD file of building you wish to clean up/convert Existing standardized floor plan CAD file Add Tip Ask Question Step 2: Open Architectural Construction Drawing Open CAD file of floor to be standardized. Note how busy the drawing is with all of the included construction details. This process will show you how to cut out the excess that isn't needed in a basic floor plan both efficiently and effectively.

This free software can do almost anything you imagine, and if it can't, there's probably a plugin for it that can. Rhino is another fantastic 3D modeler. It's not cheap, but not too expensive, and specializes in complicated surfaces and curves. It has a bit of a learning curve, however. Autodesk Auto CAD is the industry standard. It is fairly easy to use, but prohibitively expensive. Auto CAD is used mainly for 2D drawings, but can do 3D modeling as well. Autodesk Revit is my final recommendation. Every aspect of a building can be designed in Revit, so it is very complicated and may be a bit overkill for basic designs, although some of its features are fantastically helpful."

Validated Reviewer Verified Current User Invitation from G2 Crowd The perfect tool for Architects Updated On January 30, 2018What do you like best? I really like that you can do basic things and how complex a project can be with all the great functions that you have internally within the same program, such as 3D and the organization of pages for presentations directly within the program without the need for a program as well as its organization and presentation to print achieving great results within it, complying with a professional and clean presentation that gives a broad fixation to types of designs that can be created in the same program. What do you dislike? I dislike the lack of rendering controllers in the program despite having a broad operation in everything that takes the management of an architectural project that would be a very important point and that would create software for the entire management of an architectural project. Recommendations to others considering the product This program is a very useful and interesting tool because not only with architectural projects but also the creation of several branches of the same career and related that can be very well used also forming an alliance with l apart from industrial design and together with the engineers which I would easily recommend to use this programs without problems.

The process of creating standards and guidelines of representation allows innovation to enter the realm of the establishment. What can be measured can be capitalized, historicized, and sold. While architectural representation conforms to a system of standards and guidelines that allows for the production of buildings, architecture is also the practice of giving form to thought. In the process of creating edifices that house social, political, and spatial relations, architects make visible the functions of society in operational and aspirational terms. In this sense, architecture is constantly innovating new forms of measurement and representation. The pleasure and pressure to measure and be measured has become increasingly present."

"text": "\"2 answers2Likes Derek Chan An architect's day-to-day is all about developing designs for buildings (or even cities) and then communicating those ideas to a client and, ultimately, helping them to realize that design into a reality. One of the interesting things about architecture is that it really promotes being a \"\"jack-of-all-trades\"\", which means that you could be asked to do everything from budgeting the cost of a billion dollar project but also know how to hang marble in the elevator lobby. Typical tasks in the day-to-day of an architect include:1) Being creative! There is actually a very rigorous process to being creative in an architecture firm. Usually you will have to generate multiple solutions to a particular design problem, and then discuss them internally as a team before ultimately presenting them to the outside world. A design problem could be, for example, that a client knows they want to build a certain number of square footage of office but then it is really up to the architect to come up with all the interesting ways to arrange those square feet so that the office functions optimally but also that it has interesting spacial qualities and looks interesting.2) Making drawings, physical models, 3d computer models, and rendering. Architects are visual people, so a lot of time is spent making visuals. When designing, you will have to make lots of drawings to show what your ideas might actually look like. Today, this is pretty much always done on the computer, with CAD software in 2d and an increasing amount of work with 3d software from which you can make renderings as well as produce physical 3d prototypes.3) Coordinating with multiple different parties. Architects are asked to be the central coordinators between what the client wants to be built, what we have architects have designed, and what the builders on the ground actually construct."

A team, working together from start to finish in open communication and purposeful collaboration to deliver otherwise unachievable results. It’s the notion that when owners sit at the same table with architects and builders, engineers and estimators, great ideas — the best ideas — are born. And the way is paved for creative solutions to take hold, resulting in costs minimized, schedules streamlined and efficiencies realized. What is Design-Build? Design-Build is a construction delivery method that provides owners with a single point of contact for both the design and construction phases of a project. One entity holds single-source responsibility and contractual risk for every aspect of a build — from estimation, assessments and pre-construction to architecture, schematics, engineering, subcontracting, construction and post-construction. This entity, the Design-Builder, manages all contracts with companies, such as subcontractors, equipment vendors and materials providers. Unlike in other construction methods, owners contract only with the Design-Builder."

Except in very very minor cases which might occur in individual constructions where architectural drawings don't have significant importance i.e., they are not properly drawn. Architectural drawings gives the external view or aesthetic view of the building or construction and provides the location of columns, walls, staircases and ducts etc. ,Keeping in view the location of columns and walls etc., as provided in the architectural drawing other drawings like structural, fire fighting, plumbing etc., are developed In case of structural drawings along with architectural drawings the load bearing capacity of the soil and loading conditions like live load and dead load are considered and steel design such loading conditions are given with respect to Architectural drawings. In case o f footing drawings location of columns and nature of soil and load bearing capacity of soil are considered.
