Their round, compact bodies minimize surface area that is exposed to the cold air. Their muzzle, ears, and legs are short, which also conserves heat. Of course, the defining feature of the Arctic fox is their deep, thick fur which allows them to maintain a consistent body temperature. Arctic foxes also have thick fur on their paws, which allows them to walk on both snow and ice. Diet Lemmings are the staple food for Arctic foxes. However, they are quite opportunistic, and will eat whatever is available out on the frozen tundra, even if it means scavenging leftovers from other predators, such as polar bears!Population Arctic fox populations range in the hundred thousands, but fluctuate with the available lemming population. Range Did You Know? Arctic foxes change the color of their fur with the seasons. In winter they are white to blend in with the snow, while in the summer they change to brown!The Arctic fox is found throughout the entire Arctic tundra, through Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia, Norway, Scandinavia, and even Iceland, where it is the only native land mammal." } ]

They tend to be light brown, reddish, gray or dark brown in color, except for the arctic fox, which is pure white in winter. Most foxes have relatively large ears that stand up straight and long bushy tails. Home for most foxes is a den tucked away among rock crevices, an abandoned rabbit burrow or a tree hole in the case of the gray fox. Foxes tend to be small by comparison with other members of their family like wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs; to have slender, slightly flattened skulls, pointed muzzles, moderately short legs, large ears, and long, bushy tails." }, { "docid": "D2625686#0", "title": "http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150930-the-furriest-animal-in-the-world\nThe furriest animal in the world", "text": "\"By Ella Davies30 September 2015In the coldest parts of the world, insulation is essential for survival. One way is to have a good thick layer of blubber under your skin. But anyone that's seen a walrus flopping across the beach knows that fat can have its downsides. To stay both warm and agile, fat won't do. The Arctic fox can withstand polar winters, surviving long periods below -20 °C (-4 °F), thanks to some incredible adaptations. One of the most distinctive is its fluffy coat, which changes colour from brown to white and grows longer for the bleakest season. In certain areas it can double in length; on its underside the longer fur helps insulate the fox from the cold ground when it sits or lies down and even the soles of its feet are furry. When it curls into a ball, nose tucked under its tail, only the thickest fur is exposed to the elements. \"\" The winter-time coat ranges between 45-60mm [long], but offers a very high thermal insulation compared to its length,\"\" says Stephen Midgley of the Arctic Fox Center in Súðavík, Iceland.

It has furry soles, short ears, and a short muzzle—all-important adaptations to the chilly clime. Arctic foxes live in burrows, and in a blizzard they may tunnel into the snow to create shelter. Arctic Adaptations Arctic foxes have beautiful white (sometimes blue-gray) coats that act as very effective winter camouflage. The natural hues allow the animal to blend into the tundra's ubiquitous snow and ice. When the seasons change, the fox's coat turns as well, adopting a brown or gray appearance that provides cover among the summer tundra's rocks and plants. These colorings help foxes to effectively hunt rodents, birds, and even fish.

Photo © Paul Oomen / Getty Images.by Laura Klappenbach Updated March 06, 2017The tundra is a terrestrial biome that is characterized by extreme cold, low biological diversity, long winters, brief growing seasons, and limited drainage. The harsh climate of the tundra imposes such formidable conditions on life that only the hardiest plants and animals can survive in this environment. The vegetation that grows on the tundra is restricted to a low diversity of small, ground-hugging plants that are well-adapted to survive in nutrient-poor soils. The animals that inhabit the tundra are, in most cases, migratory—they visit the tundra during the growing season to breed but then retreat to warmer, more southern latitudes or lower elevations when temperatures drop. Tundra habitat occurs in regions of the world that are both very cold and very dry. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Arctic lies between the North Pole and the boreal forest. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Antarctic tundra occurs on the Antarctic peninsula and on the remote islands that lie off the coast of Antarctica (such as the South Shetland Islands and the South Orkney Islands). Outside of the polar regions, there is another type of tundra—alpine tundra—which occurs at at high altitudes on mountains, above the treeline.

It is this ability to dig that has earned the armadillo a spot in the \"\"nuisance\"\" wildlife category. Armadillos are famous for the lawn and flower bed damage they can do - utilizing their strong legs and long claws to dig burrows and search for food. Armadillo Control Is Important To Avoid The Damage They Do The Problem With Armadillos Armadillos particularly like soft rich soil like that provided by flower beds and beautiful manicured lawns because those environments are rich in the grubs they love. Armadillos are sometimes blamed for eating farm crops when in actuality it is not the crops they are after but the grubs, worms, ants, beetles and other insects that inhabit the rich soil the crops are grown in. Armadillos can also dig burrows under your trees, shed, driveway, home, crawl space, porch or foundation. They can create multiple burrows, sometimes connecting at a central point; these burrows can be as large as 4-12' long each. Grubs Are A Favorite Food Of Armadillos Signs Of Armadillos Around The House Burrows under trees and buildings, conical holes in your lawn, and destroyed flower beds are often an indicator that you might have an armadillo problem around your house.

Most species share several general characteristics. For example, many types of moles have small bodies covered in dark hair, long and hairless snouts, broad shovel-like forepaws, and tiny eyes and ears. They are solitary creatures that spend almost their entire lives underground constantly digging new tunnels in search of grubs, worms, and other soil-dwelling insects. Though they are commonly mistaken for rodents due to the similarities they share with ground squirrels and marmots, moles are actually mammals. Eastern Mole The most common mole in the United States is the eastern mole. Adults are typically about half a foot long with sleek, dark fur, long snouts, wide hands, and obscured eyes. These moles live east of the Rocky Mountains, ranging from Northern Michigan all the way down to Southern Texas. Star-Nosed Mole Star-nosed moles live along the East Coast and have star-like appendages protruding from the tip of their snouts that help them detect insect prey in the soil.

Exotic species are animals living outside captivity that did not historically occur in Florida. Most are introduced species, meaning they have been brought to Florida by humans. A few of Florida's exotics arrived by natural range expansions, like cattle egrets which are native to Africa and Asia but flew across the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Florida in the 1950s. Several common nonnative species, like coyotes, armadillos and red foxes, were not only introduced by humans but also spread into Florida by natural range expansions. How do exotics get here? The most common pathway by which exotic fish and wildlife species find their way into Florida's habitats is through escape or release by pet owners. Currently we are dealing with Burmese pythons in the Everglades. These large snakes can prey on native wildlife as well as pets like dogs and cats.

They are usually located along the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. ( The Desert Biome) . The deserts located near the mountains are formed by the \"\"rain shadow\"\" effect. The \"\"rain shadow\"\" effect is a process of how air moves up a mountain which makes it cold and lose its ability to hold any moisture, but when the air gets through and down the other side of the mountain the air becomes warmer and has the ability to hold moisture again. The more moisture the air can absorb, the less precipitation that area will have, which later forms a desert. (:::: What's It Like Where You Live? :::: ). Also, there two different types of deserts, hot deserts or cold deserts (look at the graph below to see the description of the hot and cold deserts).

A plant-eating ornithopod covered with feathers? A tyrannosaur with the snout of a crocodile? A horned, frilled ceratopsian sporting a hairdo worthy of a 1950's TV evangelist?01of 10Amargasaurus Amargasaurus (Nobu Tamura). As sauropods go, Amargasaurus was a true runt: this early Cretaceous dinosaur measured a scant 30 feet long from head to tail and weighed only two or three tons. What really set it apart, though, were the prickly spines lining its neck, which appear to have evolved as a sexually selected characteristic (that is, males with more prominent spines were more attractive to females during mating season). It's also possible that the spines of Amargasaurus supported a thin flap of skin or fatty flesh, similar to the back sail of the slightly later meat-eating dinosaur Spinosaurus .02of 10Concavenator Concavenator (Raul Martin). Concavenator is a truly weird dinosaur for two reasons, the first obvious at a glance, the second requiring more careful inspection. First, this meat-eater was equipped with a strange, triangular hump in the center of its back, which may have supported an ornate sail of skin and bone, or may just have been, well, a strange, triangular hump. Second, Concavenator's forearms were decorated with \"\"quill knobs,\"\" which likely sprouted colorful feathers during mating season; otherwise, this early Cretaceous theropod was presumably as lizard-skinned as an Allosaurus .03of 10Kosmoceratops Kosmoceratops (University of Utah)." }, { "docid": "D3248225#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Which_animals_have_scaly_skin\nWhich animals have scaly skin?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Which animals have scaly skin?

The anteater has a long thin head and a long flexible tongue, which is covered in sticky saliva, which the anteater flicks very rapidly to sweep up insects into its mouth. Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in trees, usually hanging upside-down from branches, in the rainforests of Central and South America.

Many plants can help us heal, but those which contain aromatic oils occupy a special place in natural medicine. Here is some basic information that will help you select and use the healing essential oils. Dr. David Stewart, Ph. D., D. N. M. Integrated Aromatic Science Practitioner, indicates that there are approximately 500,000 plant species on planet earth, but only 18,000 (3.6%) have the means to produce essential oils. He describes the function of these fragrant essential oils in his book, The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple: God’s Love Manifest in Molecules. Dr. Stewart describes the role of essential oils, their regulation of bodily functions, and how they create homeostasis in plants and in humans: Essential oils have been called “the life blood of a plant.” They circulate through plant tissues and pass through cell walls, carrying nutrition into cells and carrying waste products out.

Commonly used in gel form, this healing plant can also be used as an essential oil, which provides the plant’s many health benefits. What Is Aloe Oil? By itself, aloe oil is not a true, pure oil. It is prepared by mixing the aloe vera plant with a fatty oil. 1 This plant oil basically contains the properties of aloe, from which it is extracted. However, since it is combined with a carrier oil, its nutritional properties may be enhanced or reduced. Most of the health benefits provided by aloe vera come from its water-retaining, fleshy leaves 2 — specifically the nutrient-rich gel extracted from them.

Although Western medicine has made great strides in treating cancer, many believe that alternative therapies play an important role in their healing process. Because of the caution that some treatments may encourage the spread of cancer cells, various alternative health practitioners have taken a hands-off approach to cancer in favor of safety.

It’s uplifting, tangy aroma just makes us happy, and a day without happy is a day without sunshine!Most citrus originated in Asia, used in Ayurvedic, Chinese and Japanese medicine for thousands of years. It made its way to Europe and Africa thanks to the Moors, in particular a man called Ziryab (black singing bird in Arabic) who was an astronomer and scientist. He was aware of the benefits of good personal hygiene, and created deodorant, toothpaste and hair shampoo using fragrant oils from citrus fruits. Once the health benefits of citrus came to be known in Europe, sailors brought the fruits to America and the Caribbean as they explored, and incorporated the citrus into their diets, with its high levels of Vitamin C proving useful to prevent scurvy. Today, citrus essential oils are some of the most widely used worldwide. Most citrus essential oils are extracted from the peel that contains the aromatic essential oil, and most citrus oils are extracted by cold-pressing rather than steam-distilled like most other essential oils. Of the citrus oils included in this article, only Lime and Neroli are steam-distilled, and although Lime oil is extracted from the peel, Neroli oil comes from the flowers of the orange tree.

Some methods are more suitable for certain plants than others, depending on the plant's chemical make-up. Distillation Most pure essential oils are extracted from plants through steam distillation. Freshly picked plants are suspended over boiling water, and the steam pulls the oils out of the plant. The steam rises, is captured in a vessel, and is pushed along tubing. Then the steam is rapidly cooled, causing it to condense back into water. Since water and essential oils do not mix, the two separate, and the essential oil is collected.

What is it about smells that can trigger memories so strong and real it feels like you’ve been transported back in time? It’s known as “odor-evoked autobiographical memory” or the Proust phenomenon, after French writer Marcel Proust. In his famous novel In Search of Lost Time, the narrator dips a madeleine cookie into a cup of tea and is transported back into time as long-forgotten memories of his childhood come flooding back. Indeed, research shows that odors are especially effective as reminders of past experience, much more so than cues from other senses, such as sights or sounds. 1One reason this might be has to do with the way your brain processes odors and memories. Smells get routed through your olfactory bulb, which the smell-analyzing region in your brain. It’s closely connected to your amygdala and hippocampus, brain regions that handle memory and emotion.

When I was in medical school one professor emphasized this point in a colorful, graphic manner with specially prepared slides. In each slide specific drugs were depicted as evil looking demons or goblins. As he presented each picture, he explained, “Although ugly and capable of doing harm, these ‘demons’ are also the bearers of some good. So long as the benefits outweigh the risks, we use them,” he summarized. “ We have no choice,” he continued, “because if a drug has no dangers, then it can have no benefits.

The submucosal plexus is involved with local conditions and controls local secretion, absorption, and muscle movements.

The ENS includes efferent neurons, afferent neurons, and interneurons, all of which make the ENS capable of carrying reflexes and acting as an integrating center in the absence of CNS input.

November 2011 by Vince Giuliano Previously I have written about the roles of glia and microglia in Alzheimer’s disease and in spinal cord injury. This blog entry reports on recent research which documents the importance of glial pathology as a general underlying factor in essentially all age related neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, advanced spinal degeneration, ALS,multiple sclerosis, and several retinal diseases. Background“ Glial cells,, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia ( Greek γλία, γλοία “glue”; pronounced in English either /gliːə/ or /glaɪə/ ), are non- neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, formmyelin, and provide support and protection for the brain’s neurons. In the human brain, there is roughly one glia for every neuron with a ratio of about two neurons for every glia in the cerebral gray matter. [ 1] — As the Greek name implies, glia are commonly known as theglue of the nervous system; however, this is not fully accurate. Neuroscience currently identifies four main functions of glial cells: to surround neurons and hold them in place, to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons, to insulate one neuron from another, and to destroypathogens and remove dead neurons. For over a century, it was believed that they did not play any role in neurotransmission. That idea is now discredited; [2] they do modulate neurotransmission, although the mechanisms are not yet well understood [2] [3] [4] ( ref ).” In addition, as we will see, glia play several key roles required for maintenance of nervous system health." }, { "docid": "D3555108#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glial\nNeuroglia", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Glial)navigation search\"\"Glia\"\" redirects here.

[ 1] In the central nervous system, glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells and microglia, and in the peripheral nervous system glial cells include Schwann cells and satellite cells. They have four main functions: (1) To surround neurons and hold them in place (2) To supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons (3) To insulate one neuron from another (4) To destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons. They also play a role in neurotransmission and synaptic connections, [2] and in physiological processes like breathing, [3] [4] . Glia were discovered in 1856, by the pathologist Rudolf Virchow in his search for a \"\"connective tissue\"\" in the brain.

Abstract Schwannomas have been variably observed to be glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and occasionally keratin positive, with antibodies reacting with multiple keratins (pankeratins, keratin cocktail (CK), but specific keratin polypeptides (K) have not been examined for in schwannoma. Since we observed CK positivity in retroperitoneal schwannomas, we wanted to study a large group of retroperitoneal and peripheral schwannomas with GFAP, CK and Ks to explore the frequency and biologic background of this finding. We immunohistochemically evaluated a large number of retroperitoneal ( n =115) and peripheral schwannomas ( n =22) for GFAP, 16 individual K and AE1/AE3 keratin cocktail. The great majority (104/115, 90%) of retroperitoneal schwannomas were positive for GFAP, and 72/104 (69%) cases were positive for AE1/AE3, often extensively. Both markers highlighted the cellular Antoni A areas, particularly adjacent to the capsule, myxoid or degenerative areas, and perivascularly. Most cases 87/104 (84%) stained for both AE1/AE3 and GFAP at least focally.

Nervous tissue of the CNS does not contain connective tissue other than that in the three meninges (dura mater, arachnoid membrane and pia mater) and in the walls of large blood vessels. Collagenous fibers or fibrocytes/blasts are consequently not observed, which is quite unlike other tissues. Because of the absence of connective tissue, fresh CNS tissue has a very soft, somewhat jelly-like consistency.

John is looking for a boost and asks his mom to take him to the local supplement store to look for a product that can meet his needs. They inform the supplement store clerk of John’s significant medical history which includes 4 catheter ablation surgeries to correct an abnormal heart beat. John has a condition called super ventricular tachycardia (a rapid heart rhythm originating at or above the atrioventricular node). After discussing his medical history with the supplement store clerk, John is advised to take a product that contains a combination of 3 stimulants (caffeine, bitter orange, and guarana – found in many energy drinks). Supplement Use in High School Athletes High school athletic programs, especially football, are bigger than ever and athletes are looking to gain any potential edge to win a state championship or earn a college scholarship. Research from the Taylor Hooton Foundation indicates 35% of middle school and high school athletes are using protein supplements. What’s more alarming is that 5.9% of male high school athletes and 4.6% of female high school athletes are using anabolic steroids to gain a competitive edge." }, { "docid": "D1177328#0", "title": "https://www.kartiniclinic.com/blog/post/hard-news-about-exercise-and-recovery/\nHard News About Exercise And Recovery", "text": "\"Hard News About Exercise And Recoveryposted by Julie O'Toole on June 5, 2014 at 12:37am I was recently sent an article from which I will be quoting extensively here (it’s also included in this newsletter - ed.). The article is by Heidi Mills, writing for Outside magazine and features the work of Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle Performance Medicine. Dr. Cooper has consulted with Kartini Clinic on metabolic health and weight balancing for some time. Originally, we worked together to try and solve the conundrum of patients with AN who appear to be weight restored but who don’t resume regular menstruation. We concluded this persistent amenorrhea (lack of menstruation) has to do with a failure to properly restore leptin. In other words, with convincing the brain that “the famine” is over and that it can therefore allow normal hormonal functioning again (e.g. menstruation). The gist of this article is that many athletes are puzzled by the counterintuitive effects of heavy training and low caloric intake on their weight. Put bluntly, they expect their weight to go down with such interventions, but it creeps up instead. Further caloric restriction does not help. “But,” our patients might say, “I restricted and exercised and I did lose weight.”" }, { "docid": "D739812#0", "title": "http://www.simplyshredded.com/protein-intake-how-much-protein-should-you-consume-and-what-does-the-research-really-say.html\nProtein Intake: How Much Protein Should You Consume And What Does The Research Really Say?", "text": "Protein Intake: How Much Protein Should You Consume And What Does The Research Really Say?

Hell, for bodybuilders it’s the goal of the sport! While for performance athletes it’s a means to an end. Total muscle mass, strength and power can benefit athletes in many ways depending on their specific sport, position and needs. Therefore, it is important for athletes to determine what the optimal protein intake is in order to support these needs. However, there is much debate on the topic of protein intake and often the focus of most protein recommendations are to meet a minimum dietary requirement, versus providing an intake that will result in optimal performance or muscle growth. The issue of safety is also a concern since it is widely claimed that excessive protein intakes can be detrimental to bone, kidney and liver health and can cause dehydration. These lingering fears of the detrimental effects of high protein intakes may be the reason why protein recommendations tend to be overly conservative, despite a number of studies suggesting that higher intakes may be beneficial for performance and lean body mass accrual. To change this paradigm, it is essential not only to illuminate what is optimal for sports performance and muscle growth, but also to point out that there is little evidence to support the supposed adverse health effects of higher protein diets." }, { "docid": "D56140#0", "title": "https://www.insidetracker.com/blog/post/56962740603/got-fatigue-increase-your-ferritin\nA blog to help you optimize your full-body and life performance", "text": "\"A blog to help you optimize your full-body and life performance Go back Got fatigue?

Understandably, athletes are often concerned about iron, because iron is part of hemoglobin in blood and myoglobin in muscles, helping deliver oxygen to cells. Low hemoglobin can result in fatigue and decreased aerobic capacity, leading some athletes to assume that extra iron will enhance performance. Indeed, some endurance athletes take iron supplements regardless of their iron status, even though excess iron might compromise their health. On the other hand, truly iron deficient athletes might not be aware of their status, and changes in their diet or iron supplements might reduce fatigue or improve performance.

Consequently, they can be lax with the quality of their diet. They will not gain weight even if they eat burgers and fries and a bunch of sugared energy bars. However, weight gain is not the only factor that must be considered when it comes to an athlete’s diet. If the athlete does not eat enough healthy nutritious foods, his or her performance will suffer and eventually lead to injury and a long, difficult recovery. At rest and during normal activities, fats contribute 80–90% of our energy; carbohydrates provide 5–18% and protein 2–5%. During exercise there are four major endogenous sources of energy: muscle carbohydrate stores (glycogen), blood sugar, blood fatty acids, and intramuscular triacylglycerols. The extent to which these substrates contribute energy for exercise depends on the intensity and duration of exercise, the level of exercise training, the initial muscle glycogen levels, and supplementation with carbohydrates during exercise.

But the only way to understand this doctrine is through analogy. An analogy is a ratio of one thing to another. It is a comparison of two things that are the same in one respect, though they are different in other respects. For example, 3 is to 6 as 20 is to 40, or individual person is to the state as a toe is to the body. 20 and 40 are different numbers than 3 and 6, but there is similarity of proportion between them. So too, an individual person is more than a mere part of a whole; for he is a whole unto himself. But his relation to the whole state is similar to the relation of a finger to the entire body, even though there is much that is dissimilar. It is important to keep this in mind when thinking by analogy.

In some ways, physics might be considered more \"\"fundamental\"\" to the extent that it deals with matter and energy in a more general way, without the emphasis on particular substances.

The application of the term “philosophy” to the Presocratics is somewhat anachronistic, but is certainly different from how many people currently think of philosophy. The Presocratics were interested in a wide variety of topics, especially in what we now think of as natural science rather than philosophy. These early thinkers often sought naturalistic explanations and causes for physical phenomena. For example, the earliest group of Presocratics, the Milesians, each proposed some material element ¾ water, air, the “boundless,” as the basic stuff either forming the foundation of, or constituting, everything in the cosmos. Such an emphasis on physical explanations marked a break with more traditional ways of thinking that indicated the gods as primary causes. The Presocratics, in most cases, did not entirely abandon theistic or religious notions, but they characteristically posed challenges to traditional ways of thinking. Xenophanes of Colophon, for example, thought that most concepts of the gods were superficial, since they often amount to mere anthropomorphizing." }, { "docid": "D122694#0", "title": "https://sciencenotes.org/elements-in-the-human-body-and-what-they-do/\nElements in the Human Body and What They Do 6", "text": "Elements in the Human Body and What They Do 6This entry was posted on May 20, 2015 by Anne Helmenstine (updated on February 1, 2018)Can you name the elements in the human body and what they do?

Another 5 elements make up most of the last percentage point: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. Here’s a look at these elements in their pure form and their function in the human body. Note that the percentage are estimates. Hydration level (how much water you drink) makes a big impact on the amount of oxygen and hydrogen in your body and affects the relative composition of the rest of the elements in your body.

The Epicurean position in epistemology is empiricistic. Since humans are nothing more than giant collections of atoms which can interact with other objects only through collisions between material atoms, knowledge for epicureans simply is sensation. Sensation in turn is nothing more than the collisions between atoms and human sense organs, which of course themselves are just other bunches of atoms.3. The Epicurean position in ethics is hedonistic. Since all we can know are our sensations, amongst which are the sensations of pleasure and pain, the Epicureans considered that ethics, or what might be thought of as \"\"how to live a virtuous (i.e. \"\"good\"\") life\"\" is in effect just learning how to maximize pleasure and minimize pain." }, { "docid": "D2491167#0", "title": "http://www.flashcardmachine.com/biology-15.html\nShared Flashcard Set", "text": "Shared Flashcard Set Details Title Biology 1Description Finalll LL! !

For other uses, see Epicurean (disambiguation). Roman Epicurus bust Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomicmaterialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Following Aristippus —about whom very little is known—Epicurus believed that what he called \"\"pleasure\"\" was the greatest good, but that the way to attain such pleasure was to live modestly, to gain knowledge of the workings of the world, and to limit one's desires. This would lead one to attain a state of tranquility ( ataraxia) and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain ( aponia ). The combination of these two states constitutes happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure to be its sole intrinsic goal, the concept that the absence of pain and fear constitutes the greatest pleasure, and its advocacy of a simple life, make it very different from \"\"hedonism\"\" as colloquially understood. Epicureanism was originally a challenge to Platonism, though later it became the main opponent of Stoicism." }, { "docid": "D244359#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/How-are-oxygen-and-carbon-dioxide-different\nHow are oxygen and carbon dioxide different?", "text": "Carbon Dioxide Carbon (element) Oxygen Comparisons Chemistry How are oxygen and carbon dioxide different?ad by UC Berkeley Extension Organic chemistry course at UC Berkeley Extension.

So let's start with oxygen which for the most part exists as molecular oxygen O² which is O=O. Oxygen makes up about 21% of the air we breathe. It can be produced by photosynthesis using sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide through a number of processes for a different post. Oxygen is used in our bodies with glucose to produce energy and water. This energy is then used throughout the body where needed. However there's another product from this reaction and it's CO2. The full reaction between glucose and oxygen is -C6H12O6 + 6O2 ==> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The body holds on to the energy and we breathe out the CO2 and H2O.

Hellenistic philosophy is a name for a variety of philosophical options which flourished in the period from the life of Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE) to the late 2nd century CE. Even before Alexander began his conquest of the known world in 336 BCE, Greek culture had spread through the Mediterranean region. Indeed, Alexander was Macedonian, a nationality related to but self-consciously distinct from the Greeks. He was himself a Hellenized person, not least thanks to his tutor, Aristotle. Alexander saw Hellenization as a desirable imperial policy, firstly because he believed Greek culture to be the best available and, secondly to build cohesion in his rapidly expanding dominion. To this end, he established a number of conquered cities as ‘Greek’ cities." }, { "docid": "D115112#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology\nOntology", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about ontology in philosophy.

In surface waters, PCBs are present in substantial quantities in sediments. Indeed, PCBs tend to attach to the surface of organic matter, clay, and micro-particles that are still suspended in the water or have already settled down. They can remain buried in sediments for a long time and be slowly released into the water and evaporate into air. Releases through water into air occur especially when it is warm and when PCB concentrations in sediment are high as this keeps the PCB levels in water elevated. PCBs present in air can deposit on land when it rains or snows (wet deposition), or when they attach to particulate matter, such as dust or soot, that settles on the ground (dry deposition).

Labelling transformers containing PCBs Source: US federal Government The commercial production of PCBs started in 1929 but their use has been banned or severely restricted in many countries since the 1970s and 80s because of the possible risks to human health and the environment. As PCBs are resistant to acids and bases as well as to heat, they have been used as an insulating material in electric equipment, such as transformers and capacitors, and also in heat transfer fluids and in lubricants. PCBs have also been used in wide range of products such as plasticizers, surface coatings, inks, adhesives, flame-retardants, paints, and carbonless duplicating paper. Since 1929 around 2 million tonnes of PCBs have been produced, about 10% of which still remain in the environment today. Sources of PCB pollution: Landfills containing transformers, capacitors, and other PCB waste can release PCBs into the air. This environmental contamination may continue to occur due to the disposal of old electrical equipment containing PCBs." } ]

Introduced to Australia in 1935 as an attempt to reduce the populations of cane beetles, the cane toad Bufo marinus has been an environmental disaster. It has become so widespread and populous mainly because it will eat anything that moves. Insects, earthworms, small frogs and lizards and even rodents and small birds will be eaten. The tadpoles are arguably more damaging than the adults. They form vast swarms, eating everything and causing native fish and frog tadpoles to starve.

Avian influenza in birds does not easily cause disease in humans. There have been numerous deaths from H5N1 avian influenza in the world since the virus first emerged in 2003. In 2013 a H7N9 strain of avian influenza in poultry emerged which caused human deaths in China. There is only the most remote possibility of a human pandemic influenza developing in Australia as a result of migratory birds carrying avian influenza virus to Australia. If a human pandemic influenza develops as a result of mutation of an avian influenza virus, it will most likely occur somewhere else in the world and any spread to Australia would be from international travellers. Surveillance continues to show H5N1 avian influenza virus is not present in Australia. Waterfowl, which are the normal hosts of avian influenza and are thought to have had a role in the spread of the H5N1 virus in Europe, Asia and Africa do not migrate to Australia. A number of species of wading birds do migrate to Australia but they are not the normal hosts or spreaders of avian influenza.

Edited by Harriet Veitch July 16, 2005Why the expression \"\"dog eat dog\"\"? Most dogs seem to treat each other well, and better than humans treat each other. The second Oxford English Dictionary contains a quote from 1858, referring to an old proverb that states \"\"Dog does not eat dog\"\". Apparently the modern expression appeared in 1931. It might be a play on the older expression, which could still have been well known at the time, meaning that society had become so vicious that metaphorical dog would now in fact eat metaphorical dog. For more, go to http://www.wordorigins.org. Tom Andrews, Sydney'Dog eat dog' is an innane phrase generally used by inarticulate people. The certain individual who coined the phrase was most likely unaware of or simply ignorant of the unwavering fraternity held between members of the species canis familiaris. In this case the phrase may have been built upon the inherent charecteristics found between dogs and are still expressed in the socially uncouth canine counterparts such as strays, wolves and dingoes, but due to many millenia of selective breeding and human rearing have been heavily diluted." }, { "docid": "D665344#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toads_in_Australia\nCane toads in Australia", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The cane toad in Australia is regarded as an exemplary case of a \"\" feral species \"\"—others being rabbits, foxes, cats and dogs. Australia's relative isolation prior to European colonisation and the industrial revolution —both of which dramatically increased traffic and importation of novel species—allowed development of a complex, interdepending system of ecology, but one which provided no natural predators for many of the species subsequently introduced. The recent, sudden inundation of foreign species has led to severe breakdowns in Australian ecology, after overwhelming proliferation of a number of introduced species for which the continent has no efficient natural predator or parasite, and which displace native species—in some cases these species are physically destructive to habitat as well. Cane toads have been very successful as an invasive species, having become established in more than 15 countries within the past 150 years.

[ 3] These beetles are native to Australia and they are detrimental to sugar cane crops, which are a major source of income for Australia. Adult cane beetles eat the crop's leaves, but the main problem is the larvae, who feed on the roots.

There were Austrian and Swiss immigrants who also spoke German and Germans from the Ukraine, Polish areas, Belarus and other areas of Eastern Europe who came to the USA as immigrants. Contrary to what people think, not all Germans who emigrated to the USA were Protestants, many were Catholics from Southern Germany and Austria and these immigrants tended to marry Irish immigrants who were also Catholics. Which is why we have the Irish-German group to be quite widespread in the USA. In 1848 German speaking rebels who wanted the German states to unify under a democratic, constitutional government set off a series of uprisings. The movement did not succeed. Afterward, facing arrest and persecution at the hands of the German princes, between four and ten thousand \"\"forty-eighters\"\" immigrated to the United States. German craftspeople brought their guild system to the United States. These craft guilds evolved into trade unions, giving rise to the general labor-union movement.

However, they do not speak the same German Germans speak - they speak a sometimes rather heavy dialect, or accent. That is, a German from the South will understand them easily, people from the North will have problems here and there, unless an Austrian makes an effort to enunciate. If you as a non-native speaker have had German in school, you will have problems understanding Austrians talking to each other, same goes for Switzerland by the way. They do speak German, however - so if you let them know you´re not Austrian they will speak almost perfectly clear German with only a little accent.

Rockwell Jr. The more time you spend with Austrian economists or libertarian intellectuals, the more you realize that Murray Rothbard's influence has been underestimated. No, his name is not a household word but his influence is felt in another way: those who read him experience what amounts to the intellectual challenge of their lives. Whether that means adopting his paradigmatic approach to political economy, elaborating on a feature of his system, or attempting a refutation, once read, Rothbard seems inescapable. New Rothbardians are appearing by the day, and not just in this country but throughout the world. Whether in public life or academia, his star is continually on the rise. These pages have documented the way in which his influence was already increasing, and dramatically so, ten years after his death. With more of his books coming into mainstream circulation (see his History of Thought, Power and Market, and For a New Liberty), it is also a good time to revisit Justin Raimondo's spirited and compelling biography of Rothbard: Enemy of the State, which came out on the fifth anniversary of his passing. ( You can purchase this book, and you should, from Mises.org's catalog for $30.) This neglected book reconstructs postwar intellectual history with attention to Rothbard's contribution. The author himself was a player in many of Rothbard's post-1970 ideological struggles so the reader can enjoy a box seat at some of the most exciting debates of the period." }, { "docid": "D1681755#0", "title": "http://www.thenamemeaning.com/analiese/\nAnaliese", "text": "Analiese What does the name Analiese mean?

The idea of an Anschluss (a united Austria and Germany that would form a \"\" Greater Germany \"\") [a] began after the unification of Germany excluded Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871. Following the end of World War I with the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1918, the newly formed Republic of German-Austria attempted to form a union with Germany, but the Treaty of Saint Germain (10 September 1919) and the Treaty of Versailles (28 June 1919) forbade both the union and the continued use of the name \"\"German-Austria\"\" ( Deutschösterreich ); and stripped Austria of some of its territories, such as the Sudetenland.

The autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls the function of many muscles, glands and organs within the body. We are usually quite unaware of the functioning of our autonomic system because it functions in a reflexive and involuntary manner. For example, we are not aware when our blood vessels change size, and we are (usually) unaware when our hearts speed up or slow down. What is the Autonomic Nervous System? The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the involuntary division of the nervous system. It consists of autonomic neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord) to glands, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. ANS neurons are responsible for regulating the secretions of certain glands (i.e., salivary glands) and the regulation of heart rate and peristalsis (contraction of smooth muscle in the digestive tract), among other functions Role of the ANSThe role of the ANS is to constantly fine-tune the functioning of organs and organ systems according to both internal and external stimuli. The ANS helps to maintain homeostasis (internal stability and balance) through the coordination of various activities such as hormone secretion, circulation, respiration, digestion and excretion. The ANS is always \"\"on\"\" and functioning unconsciously, so we are unaware of the important tasks it is performing every waking (and sleeping) minute of every day." } ]

Each spinal nerve is similar in developmental sequence, structure and fundamental plan. Each derives from the dorsal and ventral roots Formation of the Dorsal Roots Each paired nodule of neural crest produces neuroblasts for a dorsal root ganglion. Each neuroblast in the dorsal root ganglion produces a process that bifurcate into peripheral and central branches. The central branch pierces the dorsolateral aspect of the spinal cord, forming the dorsal root. Upon entering the spinal cord, the dorsal root axon characteristically branches. The branches may run up or down the cord, but at the level of the entry, the axon synapses variously on dorsal horn neurons, spinal interneurons and ventral horn motorneurons. The peripheral branch extends to a receptor in the skin or viscera. Formation of the Ventral Roots Neuroblasts in the ventral horn gray matter differentiate and produce axons that exit from the ventrolateral aspect of the spinal cord." }, { "docid": "D1468330#0", "title": "http://philschatz.com/anatomy-book/contents/m46500.html\nBasic Structure and Function of the Nervous System", "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." }, { "docid": "D1715317#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/54518715/the-peripheral-nervous-system-flash-cards/\nThe Peripheral Nervous System", "text": "\"72 terms Dr_Rebekah_Borup TEACHERThe Peripheral Nervous System Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Sort What is the peripheral nervous system?

The fuel cumsumption cut off at ICE is at OFF state when the vehicle stops especially at vehicle jams. It significantly profits for more fuel saving. Motor-only drive mode is rarely used in real-time control because of the power system meet the uncertain driver demand. Battery state of charge (SOC) balance also affects ICE ON/OFF control decision.

The input signals are sensory experiences from the outside world which are detected by special receptors in the body. These receptors are connected to neurons which ascend and transmit signals to the brain for processing and interpretation, which become our sensory experiences. Output comes in the form of movement: signals are initiated by specific neurons in the brain. The latter and other connecting neurons then transmit these signals to the rest of the body. This article will focus on the various descending neuronal tracts —creating and transmitting the output—which are responsible for initiating both voluntary and involuntary motion, as well as regulating muscle tone, reflexes, and visceral functions. Corticospinal tract Origin The corticospinal tract originates in the motor cortex, which is located in the precentral gyrus of the brain’s cerebral cortex. Depending on where the neurons originate within the gyrus, they will supply different regions of the body.

This link deals with the effects within the body of neuropathy, a condition of nerve cell disfunction, caused by physical, emotional & mental trauma, parasites, bacterial and viral infections, aberrations in diet (including alcoholism), autoimmune disorders, toxins and environmental stressors. Peripheral neuropathy, disfunction of nerve cells outside of the brain and spinal cord (CNS), is very common and found in most serious diseases in some form. Neuropathy due to physical trauma most commonly due to abnormal pressure on a nerve at locations of tunnels between bone, ligaments and muscle tendons (such as carpal tunnel syndrome due to repetitive use). A blow to the ulnar nerve at the groove of the humerous at the elbow results in tingling, numbness and pain and is known as \"\"hitting my funny bone\"\", a form of direct trauma. Abnormal bone growth or tumors will also constrict the openings that nerves travel and cause neuropathy. At least half of the people with diabetes will develop some form of neuropathy that may even lead to eventual amputation of toes and fingers or limbs. Guillian-Barre' syndrome (nerve de-myelination) most often occurs after an infection, surgery or immunization and disrupts the nerve impulse. Leprosy is the most common bacterial cause of neuropathy and Herpes is the most common viral cause.

Robles, P. H. Delano, in The Senses: A Comprehensive Reference, 20083.24.4.1Antimasking of Auditory Stimuli in Noise It has been suggested that the efferent system can enhance neural responses to acoustic stimuli in the presence of masking noise. Physiological and behavioral studies performed in animals and humans support this antimasking role of the efferent system, which, in humans, becomes quite important for the detection and discrimination of speech in noisy environments.3.24.4.1.1 Antimasking in experimental animals As described above (Section 3.24.3.3.1. ( ii) ), a chronic section of the OC bundle at the midline of the fourth-ventricle floor impairs, in the presence of background noise, intensity discrimination ( May, B. J. and Mc Quone, S. J., 1995 ), sound localization ( May, B. J. et al., 2004 ), and human-speech sounds discrimination ( Dewson, J. H., 3rd, 1968; Hienz, R. D. et al. , 1998 ). In acute physiological studies in guinea-pigs, it has been demonstrated that electrical stimulation of OC fibers at the midline of the fourth ventricle produces an antimasking effect, increasing neural responses to loud clicks recorded in the presence of masking noise ( Nieder, P. and Nieder, I., 1970; Dolan, D. F. and Nuttall, A. L., 1988 ). Afterward, recording responses of auditory-nerve afferent fibers to tones in background noise, it was shown in cats that electrical stimulation of MOC fibers reduces the low-level noise-driven discharge rate and increases the saturation discharge rate ( Winslow, R. L. and Sachs, M. B., 1987 ). Consequently, the effect of MOC electrical stimulation was to counteract the compression produced by broadband noise on auditory-nerve fiber discharge rate–level functions, improving the discriminability of the signal in the presence of background noise. More recently, it has been shown in cats that the acoustic activation of efferent fibers also has an antimasking effect for sounds presented in the presence of noise ( Kawase, T. and Liberman, M. C., 1993 ). The amplitude of the CAP elicited by a click presented together with an ipsilateral masker is larger in the presence of a simultaneous contralateral noise, which activates the OC efferents, than when the ipsilateral stimuli are presented alone ( Figure 9 )." }, { "docid": "D3392858#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/11285346/ans-flash-cards/\nANS", "text": "\"190 terms Krystal Leigh23ANSLearn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The rest of the large intestine and the pelvic organs are served by the sacral outflow, which arises from neurons located in the lateral gray matter of spinal cord segments ___________Sympathetic Division Anatomy (Thoracolumbar)Preganglionic Fibers originate in the lateral horns of _________The sympathetic division supplies the visceral organs in the internal body cavities but also all visceral structures in the somatic part of the body. The preganglionic fibers from T5 down synapse in collateral ganglia; thus these fibers enter and leave the sympathetic chains without synapsing. Some fibers of the thoracic splanchnic nerves terminate by synapsing with the hormone producing medullary cells of the adrenal cortex. Sympathetic Trunks and Pathways When synapses are made in chain ganglia, the postganglionic axons enter the ventral (or dorsal) ramus of the adjoining spinal nerves by way of communicating branches called gray rami communicantes. ANS Physiology Interactions of the Autonomic Divisions Most visceral organs receive dual innervation by both ANS divisions, allowing for a dynamic antagonism between the divisions and precise control of visceral activity. The sympathetic division will increase heart and respiratory rates during a fight-or-flight situation and decrease activity of digestive and elimination organs. Sympathetic tone occurs in the vascular system, and parasympathetic tone occurs in the digestive and urinary tracts. Alpha-blocker drugs interfere with vasomotor fibers and are used to treat hypertension The parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions may work together to achieve a common purpose." }, { "docid": "D3528679#0", "title": "https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/12-1-basic-structure-and-function-of-the-nervous-system/\n80 12.1 Basic Structure and Function of the Nervous System", "text": "Chapter 12. The Nervous System and Nervous Tissue80 12.1 Basic Structure and Function of the Nervous System Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system Relate the functional and structural differences between gray matter and white matter structures of the nervous system to the structure of neurons List the basic functions 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 ( Figure 1 ). 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." }, { "docid": "D44277#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/8419384/nerves-exam-4-flash-cards/\nNerves - Exam 4", "text": "\"65 terms cmartinez034Nerves - Exam 4Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort False The nervous system employs exclusively electrical means to send messages, whereas the endocrine system communicates by means of chemical messengers.

Scientific name: Ambystoma mexicanum The name Axolotl is derived from the Aztec Language of Nahuatl. There are a few different translations of the name Axolotl, but some of the most popular translations are ‘Water Dog’, 'Water Doll', 'Water Slave' and ‘Servant of the water’. The name also has connections with the Aztec God Xolotl, who is believed to have turned into an Axolotl in Aztec mythology. Axolotls are part of the Ambystoma family, which means they are closely related to Tiger Salamanders and in the Caudata classification of amphibians. Description Description: There are 5 different colour variations in Axolotls. The wild types are either olive green to dark grey or brown, whilst the black, albino and leucistic (golden coloured) Axolotls are more typically found in the pet trade. All Axolotls keep their larval appearance throughout their lives and have 3 noticeable gills branching out from either side of their neck area. These gills have a feathery appearance.

Critically Endangeredlc nt vu en cr ew ex Least Concern Extinct Current Population Trend: Decreasing About the Axolotl The axolotl (pronounced ACK-suh-LAH-tuhl) salamander has the rare trait of retaining its larval features throughout its adult life. This condition, called neoteny, means it keeps its tadpole-like dorsal fin, which runs almost the length of its body, and its feathery external gills, which protrude from the back of its wide head. Differences From Other Salamanders Found exclusively in the lake complex of Xochimilco (pronounced SO-chee-MILL-koh) near Mexico City, axolotls differ from most other salamanders in that they live permanently in water. In extremely rare cases, an axolotl will progress to maturity and emerge from the water, but by and large, they are content to stay on the bottom of Xochimilco’s lakes and canals. Close relatives of the tiger salamander, axolotls can be quite large, reaching up to a foot in length, although the average size is closer to half that. They are typically black or mottled brown, but albino and white varieties are somewhat common, particularly among captive specimens. Population Decline Axolotls are long-lived, surviving up to 15 years on a diet of mollusks, worms, insect larvae, crustaceans, and some fish.

However, domesticated skunks have their scent glands removed when they are young, which makes them safe to keep around the house. Once you get over their less-than stellar reputation, keeping a skunk as pet is similar to owning a cat or a ferret. But as with most pets, if you want to have a strong bond with them you have to give them extra attention when they’re young. Source: Africana America Before you join the Pepe Le Pew fan club, you’ll need to find out if owning a pet skunk is legal in your state. It’s still illegal to own a skunk in most states, so don’t get your hopes up.

Restoration efforts for the endangered axolotl ( Ambystoma mexicanum) involve the creation of refuges to increase the occurrence of suitable conditions for native species. Little is known about the predator–prey interaction between the axolotl and the native crayfish ( Cambarellus montezumae) that also inhabits the refuges. To understand this interaction, we designed a set of experimental arenas and investigated both species at various life stages. Our findings suggest a switch in the predator–prey relationship between crayfish and axolotls at lengths between 2.6 and 3.5 cm. Individuals of both species below this size-range serve as prey, whereas larger individuals become predators. The 66.7% of crayfish that were preyed upon by axolotls were of intermediate size, whereas adult crayfish primarily consumed newly hatched axolotls (70%). We discuss the implications of this native species interaction with respect to their habitat conservation.

Also all animals require oxygen for their metabolism, can sense and respond to their environment, and have the capacity to reproduce sexually. Phylum Chordata - Chordata is a group of animals that are linked due to five common attributes at some point in their life: a notochord, a hollow dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, an endostyle, and a post-anal tail. Class Amphibia - Axolotls belong to the class Amphibia because they do not have amniotic eggs, they are cold-blooded and they have the adaptation of gills for respiration. Other members include frogs, toads, newts, and caecilians. Order Caudata - Axolotls fall under the this order due to them having a tail with two pairs of limbs.

Maintaining a healthy newt or salamander takes little work other than some cleaning and feeding. BUT… realize that cooling your newt down to the temperature he needs may be very expensive. The most widely available newt species, Cynops orientalis, is very sensitive to warm temperatures and often arrives to pet stores in poor condition. Here are some species that are more hardy: Pleurodeles waltl, Tylototriton verrucosus, Cynops pyrrhogaster, and Cynops ensicauda. These four species can tolerate temps above 21°C (72°F) as long as they are healthy. None of these species is readily available in a pet shop, except occasionally C. pyrrhogaster.

The rate of growth up until a girl reaches puberty at the age of 8 to 13 happens very gradually. However, with the onset of puberty, the body starts to release hormones which cause a growth spurt as well as many changes in a girl’s body. Generally, girls stop growing between the ages of 15 and 17. When Do Girls Stop Growing? Girls generally grow fast in height around the ages of 9-12. Girls experience their fastest growth spurts around the ages of 11 and 12. During this time a girl grows in height on average around 3 inches (7 – 8cm) per year. When a girl has her first period, around the age of 12, growth slows down a little and a girl will grow a few more inches. So, the majority of girls will stop growing and reach their final height when they are around the age of 17 years old." }, { "docid": "D2603934#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_plants_grow_in_North_Carolina\nWhat plants grow in North Carolina?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Travel & Places Countries, States, and Cities United States of America North Carolina Raleigh What plants grow in North Carolina?

GIDEON HOYLE Oct. 03, 2017B12 is a vitamin commonly found in dietary sources such as poultry, shellfish, milk and milk products, meat and eggs, as well as in various types of supplements. Although upper limits for the vitamin have not been established, maintaining adequate daily levels of B12 will help keep you from developing potentially harmful vitamin deficiencies. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Normal Levels Your doctor can measure your vitamin B12 levels through a blood test. Because of the general safety of the vitamin, upper limits for normal intake do not exist. If your blood values for the vitamin fall below a range of 170 to 250 picograms per milliliter, you may develop a B12 deficiency. However, blood tests do not necessarily accurately reveal the presence of a deficiency -- testing levels of a substance called methylmalonic acid may give a better picture of potential B12-related problems. Deficiency Symptoms If you have abnormally low levels of vitamin B12, you may experience symptoms that include lack of adequate red blood cells, also known as anemia, as well as weakness, constipation, weight loss and lack of appetite. You also may experience nerve-related symptoms, such as tingling or numbness in your feet or hands, as well as confusion, depression, memory deficits and balance problems. Dietary Factors Since vitamin B12 sources include mainly animal-based foods, you may be at risk for B12 deficiency if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.

The image to the left shows the supplements one of my patients was taking every day, many of them twice per day. A quick search on the internet will return many claims about how special diets, vitamins, and other supplements treat or even cure vitiligo, and others to avoid, as they supposedly make vitiligo worse. For example, there is a long-standing belief that drinking milk while eating fish can cause vitiligo. Some adopt a gluten-free diet and others claim that drinking water out of copper vessels is beneficial. Some take vitamins like vitamin B12 and vitamin D, or antioxidants like vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C in the hope that they will improve their vitiligo. I have heard parents say, “If there’s anything I can do for my child with vitiligo, then I’m willing to do it”, like changing what they prepare for meals or purchasing vitamin supplements. Patients often feel that this is one thing they can control in their treatment strategy, and they want to try whatever they can.

A diet that includes meat, fish, and dairy products can provide natural sources of B-12; however, these foods typically carry a heavy toxic load. Vegetarians and vegans can suffer from B-12 deficiency, so can meat eaters, making B-12 deficiency a common problem many people solve with supplementation or a B-12 injection. For those who don’t care for a shot, dietary supplementation like Vegan Safe™ B-12, with the two active forms of B-12, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, may be as effective as a B-12 shot. What is a Vitamin B-12 Shot? The shot delivers a high dose of therapeutic B-12, usually in the form of cyanocobalamin or hydroxocobalamin. For those who don’t care for a shot, oral supplementation with the two active forms of B-12, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, may be as effective as a B-12 shot. [ 1]Those who cannot digest or absorb B-12 as a result of inherited genetics or damage to the stomach and small intestine require more than can be absorbed from sublingual supplementation. In situations where a high dose is needed, or where injection is the only option, the B-12 shot is used. In some cases, B-12 shots are used as an energy booster, since B-12 plays a critical role in cellular energy production." }, { "docid": "D2768704#0", "title": "http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/02/05/antacids-vitamin-b12-deficiency.aspx\nLong-Term Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Other Antacids Can Cause Vitamin B12 Deficiency", "text": "\"Long-Term Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Other Antacids Can Cause Vitamin B12 Deficiency3.2KFebruary 05, 2014 • 343,659 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Popular drugs to treat acid reflux take an unsuspected toll on your health, as long-term use is associated with increased risk for vitamin B12 deficiency As your vitamin B12 levels falter, some of the initial signs will often include mood changes, such as lack of motivation or feelings of apathy Low B12 levels can also lead to acute mental fogginess, memory troubles, muscle weakness, and fatigue Chronic health problems of vitamin B12 deficiency include anemia, irreversible nerve damage, psychiatric problems (which may also mimic more serious mental illness), and dementia If you have acid reflux, one of the first things you'll want to do is to make sure you're consuming enough beneficial bacteria (probiotics).

The few plant foods that are sources of B12 are actually B12 analogs, which blocks the uptake of true B12 and actually increases your need for it. B12 is stored in your liver, kidneys and other body tissues. As a result, a deficiency may not be apparent for about seven years. Initial symptoms of deficiency include: lack of motivation, apathy, mental fogginess, muscle weakness and fatigue. Chronic long-term B12 deficiency can lead to serious conditions such as depression, dementia, and fertility problems. By Dr. Mercola The average non-vegetarian stores between 2,000 and 3,000 picograms of B-12 per day. B-12 helps change homocysteine into methionine. When this does not happen, homocysteine levels increase, which recent research has associated heart disease and deterioration of the arteries and nerves.

Canker sore Canker sore also known scientifically as aphthous ulcer, is a common type of ulcer found in the mouth, gums, sometimes the upper throat region. It usually involves the breaking down of mucosal surface, which is the inner lining of the mouth, and this exposes the underlying tissue, leading to immense pain especially with contact or movement. What are the oral signs and symptoms of canker sores Depending on the size of the ulcers, they can be categorized under minor or major aphthous ulcers. Minor ulcers are anything less than 1cm in diameter while major ulcers extend beyond 1cm in diameter and can be extremely painful. They both usually have a yellow or whitish base where the tissue is exposed and a fiery red border is found around the ulcer. Minor ulcers usually only takes a few days up to a week to heal and major ulcers take much longer, sometimes up to two weeks. Minor ulcers can coalesce to form one big ulcer in which healing will again be delayed. Multiple small ulcers found in a cluster are usually herpetic form of ulcerations with a viral origin.

But because you are able to store large amounts of vitamin B12 in your liver, it will often take up from 3 to 5 years after inadequate intake in order for a deficiency to actually begin to show symptoms.

Share Tweet +1 Pin it If you notice that your cat is more lethargic than usual and not that interested in their food, then you may need to check out if they are getting enough vitamin B12 in their diet. Cats love to sleep and will spend most of their days curled up in a nice warm place snoozing away. However, when they do wake up – they are lively, they're hungry and they want to play so when their behaviour changes, it can be quite worrying and this is particularly true if they are off their food. When it comes to their diet, vitamin B12 (scientific name cobalamin) plays a crucial role in your pet's health and in younger cats, in their growth so it's really important to make sure they are getting enough. Vitamin B12 is water soluble, it is excreted out in a cat's urine which is why it is important to ensure your pet gets enough in their daily diet. However, a healthy cat may store the vitamin in their body but when their immune system is compromised they will not be able to do so. Why Some Cats May Have a Vitamin B12 Deficiency There could be several reasons for a cat to suffer a B12 deficiency with some breeds having certain genetic disorders that prevents them from absorbing it. However, there are other reasons which include the following: Gastrointestinal illnesses Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)Diabetes Hyperthyroidism All these conditions see cats suffering from a deficiency in vitamin B12. However, nobody really knows why B12 deficiency actually occurs in cats but if you suspect there may be something wrong, you should contact your vet immediately so they can give your pet a thorough examination and take some blood tests." } ]

Don’t take the warning lightly. Baboons can be more than a nuisance; they can cause serious harm if you don’t take necessary precautions or act appropriately when you encounter them on the trail. Here’s what you need to know about how to survive a baboon encounter while hiking. Descriptions and Habitat Five different species of baboons exist, and while they range in size and color, they have some characteristics in common. They have tails and move like monkeys, walking on their hands and feet, or standing upright on their feet and climbing trees with their hands and feet. Baboons have a long snout like a dog’s muzzle, and they have very powerful jaws and sharp upper canine teeth. They have thick fur covering their bodies that can be light brown, dark brown, gray, and other similar color variations, but it doesn't cover their faces or protruding buttocks. Adult baboons can weigh between 30 and 100 pounds, depending on species and gender." } ]

The patas monkey, the vervet monkey and some species of baboon all live primarily in open brush, and each has evolved to their unconventional primate habitat in different ways. Patas Monkey The patas monkey is a medium-size monkey, growing to 33 inches in adulthood, with a tail nearly as long as its body. One of the ways the patas monkey has adapted to living in the savanna it in its running ability; the patas monkey is the fastest running primate, and can reach speeds of 55 miles per hour. This speed allows the monkey to escape predators more easily. The patas monkey also has a rapid reproductive cycle, another adaptation that helps the species to flourish despite vulnerability to predators on the savanna. Vervet Monkey The vervet monkey thrives on the savanna on a primarily vegetarian diet; it consists of seeds, wild vegetation and savanna insects such as grubs and grasshoppers. Vervets have adapted to open-savanna living by organizing themselves into complex groupings for safety, sometimes called \"\"troops.\"\" One alpha male leads the troop, and males born into the group eventually leave a troop to move to another. Vervets are often studied for their social interactions among one another, as they closely resemble the social interactions of humans." }, { "docid": "D1480902#0", "title": "http://news.stanford.edu/news/2007/march7/sapolskysr-030707.html\nRobert Sapolsky discusses physiological effects of stress", "text": "\"Stanford Report, March 7, 2007Robert Sapolsky discusses physiological effects of stress'We’ve evolved to be smart enough to make ourselves sick'By Mark Shwartz Lisa Share Robert Sapolsky carries a tranquilized baboon. Why do humans and their primate cousins get more stress-related diseases than any other member of the animal kingdom? The answer, says Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky, is that people, apes and monkeys are highly intelligent, social creatures with far too much spare time on their hands. \"\" Primates are super smart and organized just enough to devote their free time to being miserable to each other and stressing each other out,\"\" he said. \"\" But if you get chronically, psychosocially stressed, you're going to compromise your health. So, essentially, we've evolved to be smart enough to make ourselves sick. \"\" A professor of biological sciences and of neurology and neurological sciences, Sapolsky has spent more than three decades studying the physiological effects of stress on health. His pioneering work includes ongoing studies of laboratory rats and wild baboons in the African wilderness. Sapolsky discussed the biological and sociological implications of stress at a Feb. 17 lecture at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco and in a recent interview with Stanford Report.

The great apes, which are the human being, the orangutan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo, are much larger than monkeys and much more highly evolved.

The olive baboon is the most widespread and successful species of baboon and ranges across West, Central and East Africa. Where ever it meets the range of another species there is a zone of hybridization and it is possible that its range is expanding at the expense of other baboon species.

Know Thy Narrator One of the first questions you have to ask is, who the fuck is telling this story? Is intrepid space reporter Annie Mc Meteor telling it in her own voice? Is a narrator telling Annie’s story for her? Is the story told from a panoply of characters — or from a narrator attempting to tell the story by stitching together a quilt of multiple minds and voices? Is the story told by a gruff and emotionless objective character who sits fat like a fly on the wall? You can try writing your story without knowing who the narrator is, but you’d better figure it out by the end of the first paragraph or you’re going to be writing one big, barfy, confusing mess. Your uncertainty in this regard will punish the reader, so it’s time, in Glengarry Glen Ross parlance, “to fuck or walk. ”2. Who’s On First, I Don’t Know’s On Third You already know this but it bears repeating: first-person POV is when the story is told with the pronoun “I” ( I went to the store, I like cheese, I killed a man in Reno not so much to watch him die but more because I wanted his calculator wristwatch )." }, { "docid": "D1021730#0", "title": "https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-and/climate-and-human-evolution\nClimate and human evolution", "text": "Rick Potts is the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Human Origins Program.

Cardinals eat a variety of wild and \"\"feeder\"\" seeds, including sunflower, safflower and most other seeds in basic wild bird seed mixes. In warm seasons they also eat insects and worms and feed their babies mainly an insectivore diet. They will eat suet in the winter if it is located near a perch such as a deck rail or tree branch or on the ground where they can comfortably feed from it. They don't seem to hang like woodpeckers do on the cage suet feeders. They also are opportunistic and I have personally seen them eating dry cat food that I have put out for some feral cats.

Many species winter in Central and South America but fly north to breed in the United States and Canada. Combined with the resident birds that also breed here, it's not surprising that nearly everyone who spends time outdoors finds a baby bird. For most of us, our first reaction is to adopt this seemingly helpless creature. Usually, however, the young bird doesn't need our help at all. The Nesting Cycle As the length of daylight increases and the sun begins to melt the frozen northern hemisphere, there is a profound effect on the physiology of birds. Migratory birds grow restless, sex hormones flow, reproductive organs increase in size. Males proclaim their breeding territories with conspicuous displays and loud songs. Pair bonds are formed (or re-established) between a male and female that may last only a few minutes or for life, depending on the species. One of the pair (sometimes both) builds a nest." }, { "docid": "D1272823#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070425152719AAdB8Ti\nHow old do baby cardinals need to be before they can safely leave the nest?", "text": "Pets Birds How old do baby cardinals need to be before they can safely leave the nest? A mother cardinal has two babies in my rosebush. Last night we had a wind storm and one of the babies fell out, mom wont let me near the baby to put it back into the nest. Both babies have a good amount of feathers, can the one who fell out survive on the ground?? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Depends but generally they start fledging (learning how to fly, hence start leaving the nest) at around 10 days according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Look at how long the tail is, if it's just a stub the bird is too young if it looks like it's getting close to adult length then it's a fledgling. Fledglings will spend a bit of time on the ground learning how to fly so even if you put it back in the nest it will simply flutter out again. Survival depends on a number of factors and it could survive on the ground if the parents are still taking care of it. However I'd place it back in the nest or at least in the tree / shrub near the nest if it seems to young to be a fledgling, as it is an easy target for house cats if it is on the ground; note HOUSE cat, that's where they belong inside the house.crazy.carabid · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Pictures Of Baby Cardinals Source (s):https://shrinke.im/a0x BQErika · 1 year ago0 0 Comment I suggest you do not touch the bird if you do the mother may not take it back.

September 18, 2012 Mike Birds 47 Comments Few American birds have the publicity problems of the titmouse. Even though they are numerous, if not downright gregarious throughout most of their range, despite the fact that the Tufted Titmouse is consistently one of the top ten most frequently reported species in the Great Backyard Bird Count, titmice lack the popularity of other common birds like cardinals, jays, doves, crows, or even their close cousins, chickadees. Why is this adorable, doll-eyed songbird so often ignored? Tufted Titmouse by Mike Bergin Perhaps it has to do with the name. A bird in the genus Baeolophus is neither a mouse nor…the other thing. The word titmouse descends from the Old English terms, tit (any small animal or object) and mase (small bird), essentially meaning one small, small bird. Though there is nothing inherently prurient about this critter’s cognomen, it’s within the realm of possibility that even the mere utterance of it inspires twittering and naughty feelings in some individuals, and is thus best avoided. It is worth pointing out that titmice belong to the family Paridae, an expansive international clan made up primarily of what we call “chickadees” in the states but are known as “tits” in the Old World.

Questions about everything involving in cattle reproduction, including a little on lactation, can be asked and answered here.1 2 3 >At what stage does the udder form? Are you meaning fetal development, or in a heifer? In the heifer, the udder starts to form as her unborn-calf develops, although this development can vary dramatically from heifer to heifer. Some fully bag-up (are full of milk) weeks before the calf is born; some do not get a full udder... What is the estrus period of a cow? The estrous cycle of cattle is the period from one estrus (heat, phase of sexual receptivity) to the next estrus. For the cow and heifer, this period averages 21 days, with a typical range of 18 to 24 days in length.

A newborn fawn is the size of two Chihuahuas. It's important to add seven drops of lactate as well to the formula. If you have a young fawn, do not add anything solid. When they are the size of the deer in the photos below, add some solid food to the formula such as baby rice or baby cereal. Mix it well with water until it has a pudding-like consistency.

An African elephant can weigh as much as 16,500 pounds, making it the largest terrestrial animal. * Keeping a body that massive moving requires many football-fields-full of vegetation. It also takes huge amounts of water. Wild elephants spend most of their time either looking for food or eating it once they find it. African elephants can drink as much as 50 gallons (~190 liters) of water in a single day. Because they drink so often and so much, in the wild they are never far from water, though they may live in a variety of habitats, from thick jungle to open savannas.

The tiger is most commonly recognized with red to orange fur with black or dark grey stripes. How They Meet Their 4 Basic Needs Organism Adaptions Two Adaptions for the Tiger The tiger has a special adaption in the retinas, which allows more light to reflect back into their eyes making it easier to see in the dark. This helps them hunt in the dark. They also have stripes which is an adaption because as sunlight filters through the canopy, it creates stripes of shadow. The tiger's stripes help them to camouflage and make it harder for their prey to spot them.

Bloodsucking insects can pierce the skin of their prey, inject an anticoagulant or blood thinner, and suck up the protein-rich blood, all with different parts of their mouths. While the most common bloodsucking insects are flies (Diptera), other groups of insects, such as true bugs (Hemiptera) and even some moths (Lepidoptera) have blood-feeding behaviors. Mosquitoes Of all the blood-feeding insects, mosquitoes are perhaps the most familiar. These flies belong to the widely distributed Culicidae family and can be found throughout the world, except for Antarctica. Only female mosquitoes drink blood; they require the protein to produce eggs. Immature mosquitoes, called larvae, live in standing water such as pools, ponds or gutters and feed on organic material in the water. Mosquitoes are attracted to the heat, carbon dioxide and lactic acid that animals produce. When a female mosquito lands on her prey, she injects a long tube, called a proboscis, into the skin. While she is sucking up blood, she releases saliva to prevent the blood from clotting." }, { "docid": "D1695091#0", "title": "http://www.discover-southern-ontario.com/Canadian-animals.html\nCANADIAN ANIMALS", "text": "\"CANADIAN ANIMALSHere are some of the common Canadian animals that are found in this area of Southern Ontario.

If you're living with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes, meal times can be a cause of stress; but another source of worry is what to drink when you have diabetes. If you're controlling your diabetes and blood sugar by diet and exercise or with medications and insulin, you still need to be cautious of the food and drinks that enter your body. Living with type 1 diabetes myself, I know first hand how much one wrong drink choice can affect my blood sugar levels. A type 1 diabetic does not produce insulin themselves so they must inject insulin with each meal. Making sure what you consume including drinks in between meals is important. In fact, drinking just one sweetened drink a day can raise your risk of type 2 diabetes by 25 percent. People tend to think that fruit juice is a good choice, but with a high concentration of fructose, diabetics should only consume fruit in its whole form. When fruit is juiced it is stripped of all its fiber, and fiber is what helps to slow down the blood sugar spike. Consuming fruit juice will set you up for a roller coaster of blood sugar levels all day." }, { "docid": "D1344490#0", "title": "http://wildliferehabilitators.org/deer.html\nWhat to do with a baby deer I found?", "text": "Wildlife Rehabilitation - Care for Orphaned or Injured Wild Animals What to do with a baby deer I found? Fawn Rehabilitation - One hundred years ago, it was uncommon to see a deer, let alone find a fawn. Now, deer are so overpopulated, the instance of orphaned babies is extremely high. Mother deer (doe) often wander and feed while their young fawns are curled up in a bedded area. The fawn at this age is completely scentless, and instinctually remains completely still until its mother returns. The lack of identifying scent, and the ability to stay hidden from predators, has helped the deer community thrive. Unfortunately, because human roads often intersect wildlife habitats, deer fatalities by car hits are very common. If you have found an infant deer, make sure it is really abandoned! Almost all wild animals leave their young for a period of time in order to feed or gather more nutrients for the baby. A doe will often leave her fawn for an entire night, returning to the area she chose to bed down in during the heat of the day." }, { "docid": "D2943771#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2957\nCougars, Mountain Lions, and Pumas", "text": "\"Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Cats (Felines) Wild Cats Cougars, Mountain Lions, and Pumas Unanswered | Answered Cougars, Mountain Lions, and Pumas Parent Category: Wild Cats The mountain lion is a large feline native to the US and other regions of the western hemisphere.

White-tailed deer are considered a uniparental speciesmeaning the fawns are only cared for by one parent (the doe). Shortly before the doe is ready to give birth she chooses a birthing area, a spot covered by vegetation that will help conceal her fawns from predators. Once there, she will drive off any other deer that try to enter the area, even her own offspring. Her existing female offspring may rejoin her and her newborns later on, but the males will either leave voluntarily or be permanently driven off to start life on their own. Ad Fawns at Birth Fawns weigh about 8 pounds at birth and twins are quite common, especially if the doe has been healthy and well-fed throughout her pregnancy. They are helpless at birth, but able to stand and take a few steps within the first hour. Because the blood and fluids at the birthing site may attract predators, as soon as they get to their feet the doe leads the fawn to a new sheltered spot called a form. If she has twins, the doe may place each fawn in a separate form up to 200 feet apart so that if one is discovered by a predator, the second will remain safe." }, { "docid": "D575268#0", "title": "https://wikitravel.org/en/Corner_Brook\n.", "text": "\"Corner Brook Book a Hotel In Out Check Rates Understand Get in By boat By car By plane By bus Get around By bus On foot By car See Do Buy Eat Sleep This article or section does not match our manual of style or needs other editing.

In the United States, possession of a wild bird without the proper license is not legal. But most importantly, care of a baby dove is difficult. Doves, unlike other songbirds, produce a sort of \"\"milk\"\" in their crops that they feed their babies. It has a high concentration of nutrients, and is difficult to produce an artificial substitute. Rehabbers will have access to and knowledge of the best alternatives. To get the baby to feed, you need to replicate a parent's beak, which the baby would stick its little beak into to drink the crop milk. When I worked with a rehabber, we used those little green things you put the stem of a rose in to keep it fresh, cutting a slightly larger hole in the top for the bird's beak. If for some reason you cannot find a rehabber -- and I can't stress how important it is to try, or you will not likely succeed in keeping the bird alive to a point at which it can feed itself -- here is what Wikipedia says in terms of a recipe and care. You will see why I say it is complicated and best left to a professional: A good home-made mix can be made from equal quantities of dehydrated dried pure soy protein (with no added salt, flavorings, preservatives etc.)" } ]

It is not going to sit there deciding how desperate for food it is and decide...\"\"oh, I am not so hungry today..think I will leave these eggs/chicks here\"\".

Babies hatch (if eggs are fertile) and parents care for babies for about 2-3 weeks (babies will look like adults in about 21 days).

The unusual saga began when the mother of the young chicks disappeared soon after laying the eggs. To save them, Rick, who will not reveal his last name or location, decided to place them in an incubator. Hence, when the chicks hatched, the first large moving object they saw was Rick and immediately concluded that he was their 'mother'. While this may seem odd, it is quite common among animals. Known as imprinting, it is a natural biological phenomenon that occurs in newly-born birds and mammals, allowing them to form a bond with their mother as well as providing them with information about their own identity. For birds like ducks, geese and turkeys that start walking as soon as they hatch, the imprint occurs instantly, which is what happened in this case. Photo Credit: Memozee.com What's amazing is that researchers have discovered that young birds imprint themselves to the first moving thing they set their eyes on - even if they are inanimate objects. During their study, they found young chicks attaching themselves to gumboots, balls, and even an electric train. The downside of imprinting is that young animals have a hard time detaching themselves from their adopted 'mother'." }, { "docid": "D2696367#0", "title": "http://boondockers.sharepoint.com/Pages/Raisingducklings.aspx\n.", "text": "What you need for ducklings and what ducklingsneed from you from the day you get them.-STAGE 1-The Brooder (the hothouse) You will need to create a “brooder” to house your ducklings for the first 4-6 weeks to keep them warm.

We have tried peat moss seeing it is a wonderful mold-resistant bedding source but found that our ducks liked to forage in it creating muddy water in minutes.

A: Quick Answer Baby ducks eat mostly invertebrates for the first few weeks of their lives, including insects, worms, snails and crustaceans.

Credit: Airwolfhound CC-BY-SA 2.0Full Answer As they are born with part of the egg yolk still inside them in an egg sack, baby ducks can survive for approximately the first three days of life without eating. Ducks mature incredibly quickly, so by the time they are two or three weeks old, they will already begin eating like normal adult ducks. For some species, this means switching over to eating primarily plants or possibly nuts and seeds. Domesticated ducklings also have the same high fat and protein nutritional requirements as their wild counterparts." }, { "docid": "D2717747#0", "title": "http://www.homesteadlady.com/why-ducks-may-not-be-right-for-you/\nWhy Ducks May Not Be Right For You", "text": "Why Ducks May Not Be Right For You Posted on February 15, 2015 by Homestead Lady My mother raised me to believe that you can know God has a sense of humor because he created ducks.

The first thing they see they believe it is their mother. If you are raising multiple ducklings with no mom they will bond together and nothing will tear them apart. If one of your ducklings gets left alone it will quack and peep for hours. If you are only raising one baby duck it will need human bond and become attached to its human handler.

I never heard of marbles in the water but then again I don't give them water in bowls big enough for the ducklings to drown in. Since you don't know if the eggs are going to hatch or not,go to the Feed Store and see if you can buy a pound of so of Duck Starter Food and have it on hand If the eggs do hatch. Duck eggs hatch 28 days from the day they start the incubation period. Keep the temp 98.0 to 100.0 degrees and they will need some moisture but DO NOT get the shell wet as it will seal the pores of the shell and it will kill the embryo. Turn the eggs atleast twice a day until you start seeing the egg move on it's own. ." } ]

But other backyard birds are exceedingly shy, and give us only a fleeting glimpse. That may be all that is needed in identifying them, if the bird has any distinguishing peculiarity. One can in time come to know what family the bird belongs to, if you have any sort of fleeting glance of it. Size, form and manner of flight tell a great deal- even before we can distinguish color.

This can give you an unparalleled opportunity to witness the birds’ amazing growth and the nurturing a hummingbird mother offers her chicks. To make your yard attractive to nesting hummingbirds, however, it is important to understand what the birds need to nest and how to make your yard a safe place for baby hummingbirds. Hummingbird Nesting Habits Hummingbirds are not cavity-nesters and will not use birdhouses, no matter what the dimensions, shape, or color of the house. Instead, hummingbird nests are built out of a variety of materials including moss, lichen, plant down, feathers, and spider silk. Depending on the hummingbird species and the general climate, a nest may be used for just one brood or for several broods in the same season, but nests are not frequently reused from year to year. If your yard is safe and attractive, however, you can easily encourage hummingbirds to nest nearby for many years. Making Your Yard Attractive The first step toward attracting nesting hummingbirds is to be sure your yard is hummingbird-friendly. To do so, your yard should include: Food: Nectar-producing flowers and hummingbird feeders are great options, but also avoid spraying for spiders or other insects.

Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5 cm (2.0 in) bee hummingbird weighing less than 2.0 g (0.07 oz). They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to in excess of 80 in some of the smallest. Of those species that have been measured in wind tunnels, their top speed exceeds 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph) and some species can dive at speeds in excess of 22 m/s (79 km/h; 49 mph).

Ultimately, it will die of starvation, slowly and painfully. A mother can pass this infection on to her babies; they will die of starvation also. What hummingbirds eat: The typical hummingbird diet consists of small, soft-bodied insects (aphids, gnats, small spiders, tiny fruit flies, etc.) and nectar from flowers. Natural nectar is mostly sucrose. When you put up a feeder, you are providing quick, dependable access to a form of sucrose.

Besides, parent birds of most species--including female hummingbirds--typically continue to feed a premature fledgling if it leaves or falls out of the nest. Unlike small mammals that typically abandon their young after being touched by a human, hummingbirds apparently have no sense of smell and have no way of knowing that you've handled a baby, so you can try putting a young hummingbird back in its nest. ( Nonetheless, do NOT handle chicks unnecessarily!) If the nest can't be reached or has blown down in a storm, try placing the young hummingbird in a shrub or tree well above ground level and away from neighborhood cats and dogs. If a baby hummingbird has fledged but is exhausted or has fallen from the nest and you have it in hand, you might try to feed it before releasing it or placing it back in the nest. Instructions for how to do this are under \"\" Injured Hummingbirds . \"\" If a baby hummingbird is naked or mostly unfeathered and has fallen from a nest, we suggest you let nature take its course and do nothing.

Placing a tiny numbered strip of aluminum on the bird's leg is the only way to positively identify an individual hummingbird, so if it is recaptured later, either at the same location or by another bander elsewhere, science may learn something about its lifespan, health, and migratory movements. In addition to banding a bird, while it's in my hand I note its condition and state of molt, take a number of measurements, and record its weight. The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that breed in my area generally weigh between 2.6 and 3.5 grams in the summer (females are larger), and up to 6 grams just before migrating in the fall, as they build fat reserves for the long journey to winter quarters in Central America. To immobilize the bird for weighing, I tuck it into the toe of an old nylon stocking. You can learn more about hummingbirds and their migrations at my website, Hummingbirds.net. Until this year I'd been using a Pesola mechanical spring scale to weigh birds. The Pesola has been the standard bander's instrument for decades, but it really doesn't work very well: it binds, making repeatable readings almost impossible; the Pesola's tare capability involves screwing the spring anchor in and out, then securing it with a locknut; worst, its capacity is only 5 grams, insufficient for my needs, and reading it is difficult.

The new discovery might offer insight into the history of life on the early Earth, and the evolution of metabolisms like ours that use reactive chemicals like oxygen. Called Archaeoglobus fulgidus, today the microbe lives in extreme environments, such as extremely hot hydrothermal vents. It’s a member of the Archaea, one of the three domains of life. ( The other domains are bacteria, or prokaryotes, and creatures with cells that have nuclei, or eukaryotes, which include humans and other multicellular life.) Archaeans are some of the oldest life forms on Earth, thought to have appeared at least 2.7 billion years ago – and they are possibly much older than that. They often live in environments that don’t have oxygen or are otherwise inhospitable to many other living things. A group of Dutch researchers found that A. fulgidus metabolizes perchlorate, a chlorine atom connected to four oxygen atoms. Moreover, the microbe does so in a different way than known Archaea or bacteria do — A. fulgidus is missing one of the enzymes other bacteria use to break down perchlorate.

It is important to keep in mind, that chemicals can exhibit more than one hazard or combinations of several hazards. Several factors can influence how a chemical will behave and the hazards the chemical presents, including the severity of the response: Concentration of the chemical. Physical state of the chemical (solid, liquid, gas ). Physical processes involved in using the chemical (cutting, grinding, heating, cooling, etc.). Chemical processes involved in using the chemical (mixing with other chemicals, purification, distillation, etc.). Other processes (improper storage, addition of moisture, storage in sunlight, refrigeration, etc.). The following sections describe general information and safety precautions about specific hazard classes. The chemical hazards listed are based on the Department of Transportation (DOT) hazard class system (which will be discussed in the Chemical Segregation section and where appropriate, will be noted as such). A listing of the DOT hazard classes can be found on the EHS Signs and Labels webpage." }, { "docid": "D1393213#0", "title": "https://ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/oxidizing/oxiziding_hazards.html\nOxidizing Liquids & Solids - Hazards", "text": "\"Oxidizing Liquids & Solids - Hazards CLOSE ALLWhat are oxidizing liquids and solids? Oxidizing materials are liquids or solids that readily give off oxygen or other oxidizing substances (such as bromine, chlorine, or fluorine). They also include materials that react chemically to oxidize combustible (burnable) materials; this means that oxygen combines chemically with the other material in a way that increases the chance of a fire or explosion. This reaction may be spontaneous at either room temperature or may occur under slight heating. Oxidizing liquids and solids can be severe fire and explosion hazards. Common oxidizing liquids and solids include:brominebromateschlorinated isocyanurateschlorateschromatesdichromateshydroperoxideshypochloritesinorganic peroxidesketone peroxidesnitratesnitric acidnitritesperboratesperchloratesperchloric acidperiodatespermanganatesperoxidesperoxyacidspersulphates There are other chemicals that are oxidizing materials. For example, liquid air has been involved in many explosions because of its oxidizing properties. Liquid air itself has about 30% oxygen which makes it a powerful oxidant. However, when liquid air evaporates, it becomes richer in oxygen content when more volatile components evaporate slightly faster. Liquid nitrogen is safer and is preferred to liquid oxygen as a cryogenic liquid coolant." }, { "docid": "D505913#0", "title": "https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-does-en-mean-in-a-chemical-formula-ligands.322245/\nHomework Help: What does (en) mean in a chemical formula/ligands", "text": "Jun 27, 2009#1A_lilah1.

Runoff is water from rain or melted snow that is not absorbed and held by the soil, but runs over the ground and through loose soil. As runoff moves, it picks up and carries pollution, which it can deposit into ponds, lakes, coastal waters, and underground sources of drinking water. Urban and industrial runoff is runoff from cities and suburbs where there are roads, parking lots, pavement, construction sites, rooftops, and industrial facilities. ( Rural areas may also have concerns with agricultural runoff carrying animal waste and farm pollutants directly into waterways.) Many urban areas have stormwater drain systems that channel the runoff into local waterways through pipes, ditches, and drainage canals. Stormwater systems reduce flooding, mud, and erosion in urban areas. Runoff will also flow directly into local waterways. Urban runoff is one of the leading sources of water pollution in streams, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, according to a federal report. Pollution from urban and industrial runoff can include heavy metals, dirt, and salt from roads; pesticides and fertilizers from lawns and gardens; and oil, grease, antifreeze, and other toxic chemicals from vehicles and vehicle maintenance facilities." }, { "docid": "D127964#0", "title": "http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/TF.asp?id=893&tid=181\nToxic Substances Portal - Perchlorates", "text": "Tox FAQs TM for Perchlorates ( Percloratos)September 2008CAS#: 10034-81-8, 7778-74-7, 7790-98-9, 7601-89-0, 7791-03-9PDF Version, 38 KBThis fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about perchlorates.

While it is well known that oxygen is a preferential electron acceptor to perchlorate for perchlorate-respiring bacteria, little is known about the effect of oxygen exposure or redox potentials on perchlorate reduction. Four different dissolved oxygen scavengers were tested for their ability to quickly restore anaerobic conditions and allow perchlorate reduction by a facultative, perchlorate respiring bacterium Dechlorosoma sp. KJ. Of the four different oxygen scavengers tested (Oxyrase™, l -cysteine, Na 2 S and Fe S), only Oxyrase™ was able to rapidly (<30 min) scavenge dissolved oxygen and allow cell growth. There was no cell growth after addition of Na 2 S and Fe S, and l -cysteine produced a long lag in cell growth. To investigate the effect of dissolved oxygen on perchlorate reduction, anaerobically grown cultures Dechlorosoma sp. KJ, were exposed to dissolved oxygen for various periods ranging from 1 to 32 h. Perchlorate reduction and redox potential were then measured for cells returned to an anaerobic environment containing an oxygen scavenger.

Much of this concerns the number of molecules of water that are bound to the ions and their distribution and coordination. Separately, the strength of binding and their residence times may be determined. A wide range of residence times has been found from < ns (Cs + ) to 300 years (Ir 3+ ). The ionic charge, radial distance of the inner hydration water, and width of the inner hydration layer together determine these residence times; with the width of the inner hydration layer playing a particularly important part for otherwise similar ions [ 3040 ]. The two factors, coordination number and strength of binding, are not related; with large ions necessarily having large coordination numbers. There is no correlation between these “hydration” numbers and those reported for residence times [ 2654 ]. When the binding is labile, such as around K + and Rb + [ 2857 ], there is competition between the influences of the ion (close ion hydration) and the hydrogen bond interactions among the first-shell waters and between the first-shell waters and the bulk (potential clathrate formation). Unfortunately, the data is not clear-cut, with different methods measuring different aspects of the ionic hydration and, hence, producing different figures.

This heme-based protein reduces the toxic compound chlorite into the innocuous chloride anion in a very efficient way while producing molecular oxygen. A sequence comparison between Cld homologues shows a highly conserved family. The crystal structure of Azospira oryzae strain GR-1 Cld is reported to 2.1 Å resolution. The structure reveals a hexameric organization of the Cld, while each monomer exhibits a ferredoxin-like fold. The six subunits are organized in a ring structure with a maximal diameter of 9 nm and an inner diameter of 2 nm. The heme active-site pocket is solvent accessible both from the inside and the outside of the ring.

Like other perchlorates, this salt is a strong oxidizer although it usually reacts very slowly with organic substances. This usually obtained as a colorless, crystalline solid is a common oxidizer used in fireworks, ammunition percussion caps, explosive primers, and is used variously in propellants, flash compositions, stars, and sparklers. It has been used as a solid rocket propellant, although in that application it has mostly been replaced by the higher performance ammonium perchlorate.

This single precipitation reaction exploits the low solubility of KCl O 4, which is about 1/100 as much as the solubility of Na Cl O 4 (209.6 g/100 m L at 25 °C). [ 8]It can also be produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a solution of potassium chlorate and potassium hydroxide, [ citation needed] and by the reaction of perchloric acid with potassium hydroxide; however, this is not used widely due to the dangers of perchloric acid. Another preparation involves the electrolysis of a potassium chlorate solution, causing KCl O 4 to form and precipitate at the anode." }, { "docid": "D1094607#0", "title": "http://pub.extranet.fsu.edu/sites/safety/safetywiki/Wiki%20Pages/Oxidizers.aspx\nFSU Safety Manual", "text": "\"From: Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Oxidizing materials are liquids or solids that readily give off oxygen or other oxidizing substances (such as bromine, chlorine, or fluorine).

Perchlorate occurs naturally in the environment; it's also made for use in rocket propellant, explosives, fireworks, and road flares. Perchlorate has been found in drinking water in some areas of the country, as well as in food and breast milk. High levels of exposure to perchlorate may disrupt the function of the thyroid gland, which is needed for normal growth and development of the central nervous system, according to background information from the FDA. The formula findings, published online in the Journal of Exposure Sciences and Environmental Epidemiology, raise more questions than answers. Those questions include the health effects of perchlorate from powdered infant formula, whether iodine supplementation might offset perchlorate-related thyroid problems, and whether the formula samples that were tested were representative of powdered infant formula nationwide. \"\" It's important to note that infant formula contains iodine and that iodine would be expected to ameliorate any potential effects that perchlorate would have,\"\" Ben Blount, Ph D, Chief of the CDC's Perchlorate Biomonitoring Laboratory, tells Web MD.

Sometimes the bags are mistaken for pine cones or other plant structures. Bagworms prefer juniper, arborvitae, spruce, pine, and cedar but also attack deciduous trees. Female moths cannot fly but the larvae can disperse. Very small caterpillars can spin strands of silk and be carried by wind, an activity called “ballooning”. Larger larvae may crawl to adjacent plants. Description and Habits Newly hatched bagworm feeding on Bagworms pass the winter as eggs (300 or more) inside bags that served as cocoons for last year’s females. The eggs hatch in mid- to late May in central Kentucky and the tiny larvae crawl out to feed.

Although a number of insecticides on the market can remedy an infestation, tree caterpillars are often quickly and efficiently disposed of by natural methods. Removing by Hand If small trees have just a few caterpillars, the simplest method of removing the caterpillars is to pluck off the pests by hand. You can mash them between your fingers or step on them to kill them, but that is not a job for a person with a weak stomach. A much cleaner option is to drop the caterpillars in a bucket of soapy water. The pests will die on contact with the solution.

Adelgids are easily identified by deposits of white, cotton-like masses on the underside of Hemlock needles. Adelgids feed on the sap at the base of Hemlock needles primarily on new twig growth. They usually start on the lower branches. Needles turn gray then yellow and then drop off. Branches die back, and growth is slowed.

Excellent alternative to Emerald Green for use in privacy screens, tall borders, etc. Moderate to fast growth, and its insect & disease resistance make this plant very desirable. Slightly more cold hardy than many occidentalis varieties, it is becoming more and more popular throughout the north & northeast. Nigra Pyramidal Arborvitae is known for it's superior foliage when mature, and is a Thuja variety that should definitely be considered as an alternative for Leyland Cypress, Thuja plicata ( Western Red Cedar ) varieties due to superior cold hardiness. Best way I can describe this Thuja would be to say that it could in many ways be considered a smaller, more compact version of the infamous Green Giant Arborvitae - but with better cold hardiness, and darker green coloration.

O. rhinoceros attacks the developing fronds of Raffia, [4] coconut, oil, and other palms in tropical Asia and a number of Pacific islands. Damaged fronds show typical triangular cuts. The beetle kills the palms (particularly newly planted ones) when the growing point is destroyed during feeding. The larvae do not damage crops, but instead grow in dead, decaying trunks and other organic matter. [ 5]In 1964, accidental introduction in some countries, and the perceived threat, led to a special United Nations fund being established through the South Pacific Forum, with the goal of \"\"eradication of the rhinoceros beetle and related insects in the South Pacific\"\". Contributors to the fund were Australia, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Western Samoa. [ 6]Control measures include the use of cultural methods, such as crop sanitation and the use of cover crops, pheromones, together with biological controls such as the manipulation of Metarhizium majus The beetle is an invasive species in Hawaii, where it was found on December 23, 2013.

The storm had weakened after its destructive pass over the Bahamas. Still, forecasts called for Joaquin to deliver hurricane conditions overnight in Bermuda, about 900 miles northeast of Nassau, as the storm’s ragged eye passed just west of the island nation. The National Hurricane Center advised that the storm packed winds topping 100 mph, and warned of possible isolated tornadoes and a dangerous storm surge expected to produce significant coastal flooding in Bermuda, with large and destructive waves. As Bermuda braced for the storm, a coalition of international government agencies, nonprofit groups and private citizens worked to deliver relief in the aftermath of Joaquin, which destroyed homes, flooded roads and knocked out communications in the Bahamas.

However, US dollars are also welcomed and used on par with Bahamian currency. Don't be surprised to get change back in a mix of both currencies. Atlantis also accepts credit cards, and you will be asked to put down a deposit (or credit card) for room charges -- which you can do with your room key card. There are ATMs throughout the Bahamas, including ones in the Atlantis casino. When leaving the Bahamas, use your leftover Bahamian dollars to buy souvenirs at the airport gift shop, or put it in the donations box just before the entrance to security -- which is then used to assist various Bahamian charities from children's homes to the local humane society." }, { "docid": "D3257450#0", "title": "http://www.geographia.com/bahamas/investment/manufc01.htm\n.", "text": "The manufacturing sector of the Bahamian economy is rapidly maturing into a major contributor to growth and progress.

For perching, Bald Eagles prefer tall, mature coniferous or deciduous trees that afford a wide view of the surroundings. In winter, Bald Eagles can also be seen in dry, open uplands if there is access to open water for fishing. Back to top Food Fish of many kinds constitute the centerpiece of the Bald Eagle diet (common examples include salmon, herring, shad, and catfish), but these birds eat a wide variety of foods depending on what’s available. They eat birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates such as crabs, and mammals including rabbits and muskrats. They take their prey live, fresh, or as carrion.

When a Bald Eagle is not fishing, it will feed on almost anything it can catch, including ducks, wading birds, turtles, rodents, snakes, and carrion (dead animal matter). Bald Eagles snatch fish from above the surface of the water rather than plunging into the water like an osprey. Since they snatch fish from close to the surface, the fish they seem to catch most are fish with downward looking eyes such as catfish and carp. It is believed fish with upward eyes can see danger approaching and are more likely to escape the talons of an eagle. Go to the related link. I made this website for a school project about the bald eagle. Look at bald eagles in their ecosystem and then food web. They eat many, many things like; geese, platypus, Carrion (dead meat), shorebirds, seagulls, ducks, songbirds, turtles, snakes, frogs, squirrels, muskrats, rabbits and mostly fish.

The second largest North American bird of prey after the Californian condor (2), the bald eagle is also the only eagle solely native to North America (5). This majestic species is named for its conspicuous white head, with ‘bald’ coming from an old word meaning ‘white’. The bald eagle’s head is fully feathered, and contrasts strongly with the dark brown body and wings. The tail is also white, and the legs, eye and large beak are bright yellow (2) (3) (5) (6). The wings are long and broad, and the tail rounded. The female bald eagle is larger than the male, but otherwise similar in appearance (2) (3) (5). The call of this species is relatively weak, seeming rather inadequate for such a large bird (3). The juvenile bald eagle can be recognised by its entirely dark brown plumage, mottled with white, and by the dark eye and beak. It takes at least five years to reach full adult plumage." } ]

With rubber bands, one can enhance or slow down the growth of the jaws in a growing child and they can also be used to move teeth, like correcting a posterior cross bite. Certain brackets have hooks where the elastics are stretched in various ways. Some orthodontists will have hooks on every posterior bracket which makes it a little more difficult to keep clean. Most orthodontists have hooks on the cuspid and molar brackets only. These hooks can be used for various attachments like springs and rubber bands to help move the teeth.

Suitable for patients of any age, braces can truly transform your mouth, smile, and self-esteem. We’re constantly asked about “Invisalign vs metal braces,” so in this post, we’re here to break down the three types of braces, costs, and considerations to evaluate when thinking about braces. Metal Braces Traditional braces are metal brackets and wires that are bonded to each tooth. Years ago these braces included metal bands that wrapped around each tooth and then were wired together. Today, most metal braces now use smaller and less noticeable metalwork, although some patients still require the metal bands around the back teeth. Wires are held to the metal brackets with a tiny rubber band, which, together, put pressure on the teeth to help them move to their desired location. The wires are adjusted approximately every four weeks." }, { "docid": "D297805#0", "title": "http://www.fleetfeethartford.com/sports-medicine/straps-braces-tape\nStraps, Braces, and Tape: Should I wear them?", "text": "Straps, Braces, and Tape: Should I wear them? Have you had a sore, achy knee throughout your summer training? As many people begin their countdowns to their goal races this Fall, the question of whether or not a brace, strap, or tape will help get them through their race seems to pop up. In certain cases, a supportive device may be beneficial. It depends on what the diagnosis is, what’s causing it, how much pain you’re in, and how much you are compensating for your current injury. There are a variety of braces, straps, and tape on the market. They each function a little differently and some are more appropriate for specific conditions than others. Today, the focus will be on common knee conditions and how supportive devices may help. Before we start talking about braces, it is important to acknowledge that they do not cure an injury, they simply offer support to the involved joints and muscles.

What they developed was a revolutionary way of treating scoliosis with movement instead of holding the spine in a static position with a hard brace. Karah Plays Through Scoliosis Treatment With Spine Cor Brace Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:33Since then the Spine Cor brace has proven to be effective in reducing scoliosis curves and is one of the most researched types of scoliosis braces in the world. This team of doctors was unhappy with the state of traditional scoliosis treatment that used hard bracing to treat curves that progress into the moderate range. The problem with hard bracing (also known as static bracing) is that they immobilize the spine, much like a body cast. This extreme limitation of movement of the spine tends to cause muscle atrophy, weaken bone and increased stiffness in the surrounding musculature. So while a patient’s spine is being propped up by the static brace the curves may reduce some because they are being held in a straighter position while being held in the static brace. However, when a static brace is taken away at the end of skeletal growth, the structural support it gave to the spine goes with it. Also, since the supporting muscles of the spine which have been weakened by not being able to move while being held in the brace allow, the spine is now supported even less than before, so it tends to collapse back into its curves since there are no longer any forces to resist against gravity." }, { "docid": "D1722175#0", "title": "http://www.colgate.com/en/us/oc/oral-health/life-stages/teen-oral-care/article/what-is-orthodontics\nWhat is Orthodontics?", "text": "\"What is Orthodontics? Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one's appearance. The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime. A specialist in this field is called an orthodontist. Orthodontists receive two or more years of education beyond their four years in dental school in an ADA-approved orthodontic training program. How do I Know if I Need Orthodontics? Only your dentist or orthodontist can determine whether you can benefit from orthodontics.

Once a space is made, the tooth is pushed into the space. Bone fills in behind where the tooth once was located. The process repeats itself again till the tooth is in the final desired position. This process can take place at any age. Yes, you can get braces at 40 years of age! The only caveat is that it usually is easier when the patient is younger. Isn’t most everything?

Orthodontics used to be called orthodontia - the word comes from the Greek orthos, meaning \"\"straight, perfect or proper\"\", and dontos, which means \"\"teeth\"\". What is orthodontics? Orthodontics also includes treating and controlling various aspects of facial growth (dentofacial orthopedics) and the shape and development of the jaw. An orthodontics specialist is called an orthodontist. Orthodontics also includes cosmetic dentistry; when the patient's aim is to improve his/her appearance. An orthodontist uses a range of medical dental devices, including headgears, plates, braces, etc. to help in: Closing wide gaps between the teeth Making sure the tips of the teeth are aligned Straightening crooked teeth To improve speech or eating (oral function)To improve the long-term health of gums and teeth To prevent long-term excessive wear or trauma (of the teeth)Treating an improper bite Treating malocclusion Malocclusion literally means bad bite.

What is a routing number? A routing number a 9-digit number assigned to a bank or credit union so it can send and receive funds from other financial institutions. The routing number determines where your account was opened. It is also known as an ABA (American Bankers Association) number, and as a routing transit number. Rather than reading a check to find out your bank’s name and potentially confusing it with a bank of a similar name, routing numbers help bank staff and the machines that now process checks to know exactly where money is supposed to go. That way, checks intended for Bank of America and American Bank never go to the wrong place by mistake. One bank may have many routing numbers, depending on things like the location of the account or the task it’s being used for, but no 2 banks will ever have the same routing number.

Martin Conway, Lucy Justice and Catriona Morrison When memory is the only evidence in, for instance, a criminal trial, how is it to be evaluated? This article shows how everyday beliefs about memory often run counter to the scientific evidence and how they can mislead in legal settings. We argue that judges, jurors, barristers, solicitors, and indeed any trier-of-fact, all need to be aware of what we term the ‘modern view of human memory’. Imagine that you are on jury duty. During the trial, in the witness box, but also earlier in a police video interview (PVI), the complainant, a 34-year-old woman (referred to as ‘C’), provided a series of descriptions of memories of being sexually abused from the ages of four to six years. An excerpt from her evidence is shown opposite. This scenario is based on an amalgam of evidence from several real cases, all anonymised, in which the first author acted as a memory expert witness. Although our example here is a case of childhood sexual abuse, our concern is not with the frequency and terrible consequences of such cases.

While their wealth continues to increase today, they have managed to blend into the background, giving an impression that their power has waned. They only apply the Rothschild name to a small fraction of the companies they actually control. Some authors claim that the Rothschild's had not only taken over the Bank of England but they had also in 1816 backed a new privately owned Central Bank in America called The Second Bank of The United States, causing huge problems to the American president. ANDREW JACKSON (1828 - 1836)When the American congress voted to renew the charter of The Second Bank of The United States, Jackson responded by using his veto to prevent the renewal bill from passing. His response gives us an interesting insight. \"\" It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners... is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country?...

The story’s main character is a middle-aged, middle-class man who escapes from the routine drudgery of his suburban life into fantasies of heroic conquest. Upon the story’s publication, Walter Mitty became an archetypal American figure. Today, people still describe a certain kind of neurotic, daydreaming man as a “Walter Mitty type.” In 1947, Hollywood released a movie of the same title, starring Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo. Although his humorous stories, sketches, and illustrations were well-known during his lifetime, Thurber has received little scholarly attention.

A generally accepted version is that the name of the street was derived from a wall (actually a wooden palisade) on the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement, built to protect against Native Americans, pirates, and the British. A conflicting explanation is that Wall Street was named after Walloons — the Dutch name for a Walloon is Waal.

The taste buds of the tongue occur within papillae (foliate, fungiform, and vallate) present in the stratified squamous epithelium of the tongue. The taste buds consist of basal cells (near the basal lamina), supporting cells, and gustatory cells (sensory or neuroepithelial cells). The gustatory cells, which can be distinguished from supporting cells with a specific staining only, have microvilli at their apical ends extending in the taste pore. At their basal ends the gustatory cells form synapses with nerves that project to the brain. The micrographs display a taste bud located within a foliate papilla on the dorsal surface of the tongue. The 4X and 10X micrographs depict the layers of the tongue: skeletal muscle, lamina propria, squamous stratified epithelium with papillae and a taste bud. The 20X and 40X micrographs show in detail the layers of squamous stratified epithelium, the foliate papillae, and the taste bud.

The tongue not only detects gustatory (taste) sensations, but also helps sense the tactile, thermal and even painful stimuli that give food its flavor. Most people mistake the bumpy structures that cover the tongue's surface for taste buds. These are actually papillae: goblet-shaped elevations that sometimes contain taste buds and help create friction between the tongue and food. Taste buds are smaller structures, tucked away in the folds between papillae. Every taste bud is made up of basal and supporting cells that help maintain about 50 gustatory receptor cells. These specialized receptors are stimulated by the chemical makeup of solutions. They respond to several primary tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami (savory) and fat, which some scientists claim might be a sixth taste. When a stimulus activates a gustatory cell, the receptor will synapse with neurons and send an electrical impulse to the gustatory region of the cerebral cortex. The brain interprets the sensation as taste." }, { "docid": "D721392#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/21746115/hypothalamus-flash-cards/\nhypothalamus", "text": "61 terms medicalstudent2012hypothalamus Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Remarkable advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of innate behavior and the underlying neural circuits. In particular, a wealth of neuromodulatory mechanisms have been uncovered that can alter the input–output relationship of a hereditary neural circuit. It is now clear that this inbuilt flexibility allows animals to modify their behavioral responses according to environmental cues, metabolic demands and physiological states. Here, we discuss recent insights into how modulation of neural circuits impacts innate behavior, with a special focus on how environmental cues and internal physiological states shape different aspects of feeding behavior in Drosophila.

All rights reserved. Introduction Innate behavior, programmed by genetically predetermined neural circuits, is robust and stereotyped. Although considered to be hardwired, innate behavior is also flexible and subject to modulation by internal states (e.g. satiety state) and external contexts of the stimuli (e.g. environmental cues) [ 1–6 ]. Dissecting the mechanisms whereby external and internal contexts of stimuli influence the behavioral outputs of a hardwired circuit might appear a daunting task. However, aided by powerful genetic tools, much progress has recently been made to address this fascinating question in genetic model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophlia melanogaster (for review, see [ 1,2,4,7 ])." }, { "docid": "D2158102#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/science/function-white-matter-serve-brain-f081e059110ffa37\nWhat Function Does White Matter Serve in the Brain?", "text": "Science Human Anatomy Organs Q: What Function Does White Matter Serve in the Brain? A: Quick Answer White matter connects the various gray matter centers of the brain together to form communication networks, according to the DANA Foundation. White matter is primarily made up of myelinated nerve cell projections called axons, which facilitate these networks and make up the bulk of the brain and spinal cord. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Functions of the Human Brain? What Happens to the Brain When You Are Knocked Out? With What Organs Does the Vagus Nerve Interact? Full Answer White matter is able to quickly relay messages from one section of the brain to another because its axons are heavily myelinated, according to VU University Medical Center. Myelin forms fatty sheathes around the axons, insulating the nerve cells; this insulation keeps the axons from short circuiting and increases the speed of nerve impulses. White matter connects the various parts of the brain and spinal cord in three ways, according to Wikipedia.

Parosmia refers to a distortion in the perception of an odorant. Odorants smell different from what one remembers. Phantosmia refers to the perception of an odor when there's no actual odorant present. The cause of dysosmia still remains a theory.

Sweat glands are a type of exocrine gland, which are glands that produce and secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way of a duct. There are two main types of sweat glands that differ in their structure, function, secretory product, mechanism of excretion, anatomic distribution, and distribution across species: Eccrine sweat glands are distributed almost all over the human body, in varying densities, with the highest density in palms and soles, then on the head, but much less on the trunk and the extremities. Its water-based secretion represents a primary form of cooling in humans. [ 8]Apocrine sweat glands are mostly limited to the axilla (armpits) and perianal areas in humans. [ 8] They are not significant for cooling in humans, but are the sole effective sweat glands in hoofed animals, such as the camels, donkeys, horses, and cattle. [ 9] [10] [11]Ceruminous glands (which produce ear wax), mammary glands (which produce milk ), and ciliary glands in the eyelids are modified apocrine sweat glands.

Basic core classes are the classes required of all college students, regardless of their major. Some areas of discipline in the core curriculum include writing, math, science, history or a seminar course. There are also required core classes for respective majors. These classes are intended to help students effectively analyze, think critically and communicate information in diverse disciplines.1Check the college catalog. The basic core curriculum requirements vary by college or university. For example, the Duke University Language Arts program in North Carolina requires first-year students to enroll in a writing and seminar course, whereas Columbia College in New York City requires students to take six core classes, including writing, literature and civilization, before they can graduate. In the electrical engineering course at Duke University, the core curriculum consists of classes in mathematics, social sciences, science, computer methods, humanities and fundamental engineering courses. At Columbia College, however, the required core curriculum for engineering are fewer, which include introduction to electrical engineering, circuit analysis, signals and systems, electronic circuits and fundamentals of computer systems.2Talk to your adviser." } ]

In this lesson, find out what an antecedent is as well as some of the basic rules for avoiding vague pronoun references and for making sure that you have pronoun-antecedent agreement. Antecedents The astronaut could not remember where he parked. Can you spot the pronoun in this sentence? You may remember learning that a pronoun is a word that takes the place of or refers to a noun. A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Pronouns basically help us avoid saying the same nouns over and over. In our example sentence, the word 'he' is a pronoun that takes the place of the noun 'astronaut'." }, { "docid": "D3135653#0", "title": "http://links.org.au/node/535\nThe xenophobia outbreak in South Africa: Strategic questions facing the new social movements", "text": "Home The xenophobia outbreak in South Africa: Strategic questions facing the new social movements By Oupa Lehulere June 2008 -- The township of Alexandra outside Johannesburg, South Africa, has a long history of resistance to oppression and exploitation. In the late 1950s Alex (as it is popularly referred to) was the centre of bus boycotts against increases in fares and of struggles against apartheid, in the 1980s Alex was the centre of building street committees that represented what were then called ``organs of people’s power’’ – forms of alternative government to the apartheid state, and in 2002 the event that announced the presence of the new social movements on the South African post-apartheid political landscape – the 20,000-strong march led by the Social Movements United – took place in Alex. The fact that it was Alex that would go down in history as the township that expressed most publicly the reactionary attitudes held by working-class people against fellow working-class people from other parts of Africa throws into sharp relief the process of political and organisational decline that has been underway within the South Africa’s working class since 1994. [ A note on language: throughout this article I have battled with the question of how to refer to fellow Africans who are not South African citizens, and who were born in other African countries. Against the background of the violent outbreak of xenophobia, we have become sensitive to how we refer to fellow Africans from across our borders. Indeed, some who harbour the same reactionary perspectives that led to the outbreak are learning how to sound ``politically correct’’. The issue of sensitivity, however, goes far beyond not calling our class sisters and brothers by derogatory names. Even words like immigrants, foreigners, foreign nationals, undocumented workers and so on, carry their own ideological baggage. In various ways and to varying degrees their use belongs to various interpretive schemas that we criticise, and that we are committed to overcoming. As Marx remarked, in the struggle for the new society, the society of the future, we may find that we do not have words to capture the world we seek to create." }, { "docid": "D190725#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officer_Candidates_School_(U.S._Marine_Corps)\nOfficer Candidates School (United States Marine Corps)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Officer Candidates School (U.

With the doubtful exceptions of idiots and infants in arms every human being has both a body and a mind. His body and mind are ordinarily harnessed together, but after the death of his body his mind may continue to exist and function. Human bodies are in space and are subject to the mechanical laws which govern all other bodies in space ... But minds are not in space, nor are their operations subject to mechanical laws. ... A person therefore lives through two collateral histories, one consisting of what happens in and to his body, the other consisting of what happens in and to his mind. ... The events in the first history are events in the physical world, those in the second are events in the mental world. ”Now, it is clear that Ryle thinks that this view is not the right one; he says that he will refer to it, ‘with deliberate abusiveness’, as the dogma of the ghost in the machine. What we have to get clear on is why he thinks the Cartesian view is so clearly false.1.1 The problem of mental causation One reason for Ryle’s attitude is familiar from our discussion of dualism: the problem of how mental and physical could interact, if they are such fundamentally different sorts of things. Ryle says:“Even when ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ are construed as metaphors, the problem how a person’s mind and body influence one another is notoriously charged with theoretical difficulties ...the actual transactions between the episodes of the private history and those of the public history remain mysterious, since by definition they can belong to neither series. ... They can be inspected neither by introspection nor by laboratory experiment." }, { "docid": "D3382629#0", "title": "http://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/2010/05/ascribed-status-vs-achieved-status-the-case-of-homelessness.html\nEveryday Sociology Blog", "text": "By Todd Schoepflin Every so often the terms we encounter in an Introduction to Sociology textbook are a little boring.

A: Quick Answer Most of the more than 400 species of shark eat fish, including herring, anchovy, stingray, tuna, flounder and other sharks. With sharp eyesight, a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing, sharks are adept at finding prey, but their diet varies, depending on what is available at the time. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Mako Sharks Eat? What Do Hammerhead Sharks Eat? What Animals Eat Fish? Full Answer Sharks that eat fish may also eat other marine life, and some species of shark do not eat fish. Species that fall into the filter feeder category, such as basking sharks, eat plankton, which are tiny organisms floating in the water. A filter feeder takes plankton-filled water into its mouth and expels only the water from its gills. Shark species that live close to the ocean floor, such as nurse and angel sharks, eat small fish but also enjoy crustaceans and mollusks." } ]

The parent fish attaches these egg cases to objects such as seaweeds growing on the sea bed. Empty egg cases from which the baby fish have hatched out, are often found washed up along the strand line of sandy beaches. Occasionally a storm may rip the seaweed and egg cases from the sea bed and throw them up with the eggs or a baby fish still inside. Mermaid’s purses are made of collagen which is a common protein found in vertebrate animal tissues that is slow to break down and so may persist in the sea for months or years. Identification of egg cases found on a beach can indicate which species live in the vicinity and point to areas where there may be nursery grounds. Many of these fish are listed as threatened or endangered species throughout the world. Amongst the close relatives of the fish described below are the spurdog and sharks of which Porbeagle, Basking Shark, Thresher, Tope and Blue Shark have been recorded as adult fish from this region.

All sharks, skates, and rays (e.g., the southern stingray) are cartilaginous fish. These fish all fall into the group of fish called the elasmobranchs. Characteristics of Cartilaginous Fish In addition to the difference in their skeletons, cartilaginous fish have gills that open to the ocean through slits, rather than the bony covering that is present in bony fish. Different shark species may have different numbers of gill slits. Cartilaginous fish may also breathe through spiracles, rather than gills. Spiracles are found on top of the heads of all rays and skates, and some sharks. These openings allow the fish to rest on the ocean bottom and draw oxygenated water in through the top of their head, allowing them to breathe without breathing in sand.

The eating habits of sharks are very different if you take into account the number of species that exist. The truth is that most sharks are carnivorous and efficient predators, although some others feed on plankton. It depends on the type of shark as various species have different feeding habits. Shark feeding also depends on where they live because this is the main factor to define the kind of prey available. Shark diet also adapts to survive. Some shark species may prefer certain types of prey, but when they are scarce, they adjust their eating habits to whatever is available. Sharks aren’t picky with their food sources.

Sharks have a variety of reproductive strategies, although they can be divided into two main groups - those that lay eggs, and those that give birth to live young. Read more about the reproductive strategies of sharks below. How Do Sharks Mate? All sharks mate through internal fertilization. The male inserts one or both of his claspers into the female's reproductive tract and deposits sperm. During this time, the male may use his teeth to hold on to the female, so many females have scars and wounds from mating.

They inhabit tropical and temperate waters, and many are migratory. Pelagic sharks are constantly on the move, and rely on lift from their pectoral fins and buoyancy from the low density oils in their large livers to stop them from sinking. Many pelagic sharks are the top predators in their range, and have few natural predators when fully grown. Pelagic sharks are carnivorous and mostly eat fish, including other sharks on occasion, and some will take turtles, seals and penguins. However, there are also three species of large plankton eating filter feeders – the whale shark, the basking shark and the megamouth shark. The diversity of pelagic sharks is quite low at 39 species, far less than the hundreds inhabiting shallow coastal regions. Yet many are abundant and found across very wide expanses of the world’s oceans. What are the main threats to pelagic sharks?

Most sharks have about 5 rows of teeth at any time. The front set is the largest and does most of the work. A bull shark might have 50 “rows” of teeth, with 7 teeth in each “row” (one for each series). This would therefore be 350 teeth (approximately, since some rows might be incomplete). On average, sharks can lose about 30,000 teeth in a lifetime. An average lifespan for a shark may be about 30 years. Shark teeth are embedded in the gums rather than directly affixed to the jaw, and are constantly replaced throughout life. Multiple rows of replacement teeth grow in a groove on the inside of the jaw and steadily move forward in comparison to a conveyor belt; some sharks lose 30,000 or more teeth in their lifetime. The rate of tooth replacement varies from once every 8 to 10 days to several months." }, { "docid": "D1848970#0", "title": "http://oceana.org/marine-life/cephalopods-crustaceans-other-shellfish/colorful-hermit-crab\nColorful Hermit Crab", "text": "Cephalopods, Crustaceans, & Other Shellfish Colorful Hermit Crab Propagurus gaudichaudi Cephalopods, Crustaceans, & Other Shellfish Corals and Other Invertebrates Marine Mammals Marine Science and Ecosystems Ocean Fishes Sea Turtles & Reptiles Seabirds Sharks & Rays Home Marine Life Cephalopods, Crustaceans, & Other Shellfish Distribution Temperate latitudes of South America Ecosystem/Habitat Soft sediments Feeding Habits Foraging omnivore Conservation Status Unknown Taxonomy Subphylum Crustacea (crabs, shrimps, and relatives), Superfamily Paguroidea (hermit crabs)Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+The colorful hermit crab is a large hermit crab that lives along both coasts of South America.

Instead, it scavenges an empty snail shell from a variety of species and carries the shell with its tail and abdomen. As the colorful hermit crab ages, it must find new, larger shells that can accommodate its growing body. Colorful hermit crabs are foragers that eat a variety of animal and plant prey and scavenge for dead and decaying organic matter. This species lives on sandy and muddy soft bottoms in deep habitats (like Patagonian fjords) and will eat just about it anything that it can find. Few species eat colorful hermit crabs, as they are fairly well protected by their shells. Colorful hermit crabs reproduce via internal fertilization, when a male passes a packet of sperm to a female.

Like the basking shark and whale shark, it is a filter feeder, and swims with its enormous mouth wide open, filtering water for plankton and jellyfish. However, the megamouth is considered to be less active and a poorer swimmer than the basking or whale sharks due to its flabby body, soft fins, asymmetrical tail and lack of keels. The megamouth has a brownish-blackish color on top and white underneath, a broad rounded snout, and a distinctive large head with rubbery lips. They can grow to 18 feet in length and have been recorded at weights of 2,600 pounds.

Great white sharks feed on fish (including other sharks) and cetaceans, such as dolphins and whales, sea turtles, sea lions, and sea otters. They usually prefer prey having a high amount of energy-rich nutrients and fat. Did You Know? Every night, the pygmy shark travels for close to 1,500 meters to and fro from the ocean floor in search of food. The energy spent roughly equals 7 miles if a human decides to climb the same distance. Sharks belong to the subclass Elasmobranchii of the class Chondrichthyes and are found till the depths of 2000 meters, exclusively in seawater -- exceptions being the bull shark and the river shark, which are found in both seawater and freshwater.

Then their appetite changes to insects and smaller fish. The adult bass's diet consists mainly of fish, but crayfish, worms, frogs, and insects are important foods in some waters. The bass ranks very highly in the aquatic food chain. A bass 10 inchs or longer has very few enemies and will eat almost anything it can swallow. Because of the bass's large mouth and flexible stomach it can eat prey nearly half its own length. They usually grab large prey, then turn the food to swallow it headfirst. So if your using large shiners, frogs, or salamanders you should give the fish ample time before setting the hook. But if your using small bait or small lures you need to set the hook immediately upon the strike, since the bass inhales its smaller food by opening its mouth quickly, sucking water (and the bait) into its mouth. It then expels the water through its gills and at the same instant decides whether it will swallow or expel the food." } ]

There is a reason fish biologists use sunfish as the primary food source for bass when stocking a pond. It's as if bass live to eat them. Whether it's bluegill, green sunfish, rock bass or pumpkinseed, all of these fish play a critical role in the diet of most bass throughout the United States. Most of us have taken a child fishing for bluegill, ending with a largemouth crushing the little 3-inch sunfish and bending your kid's Mickey Mouse rod to the verge of collapse. \"\" The relationship between bass and sunfish is inextricably linked together as predator and prey,\"\" said Doug Beard, a USGA fisheries biologist in the Washington, D.

According to O’Bara (1985), blackside dace occur in only moderate gradient streams that have a 60:40 riffle-pool ratio. Substrate in these streams consists of cobble-gravel in riffles and bedrock-boulder-silt in pools (O’Bara, 1985). Starnes and Starnes (1981) note that these fish are generally associated with undercut stream banks and large rocks, and they are usually found in drainages with well-vegetated watersheds and riparian zones. The riparian vegetation generally associated with blackside dace habitat includes woody species such as eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis ), giant rhododendron ( Rhododendron maximum ), ironwood ( Carpinus caroliniana ), river birch ( Betula nigra ), and American sycamore ( Platanus occidentalis) (O’Bara, 1985).

The annual spawning run of the official state fish, often called the “sand bass,” occurs during the spring and is perhaps best described as a “fish frenzy.” White bass move in large schools to spawn, and anglers who fish at the right time can end up with near constant angling action as well as a stringer full of fish. Fisheries biologists with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation recently provided the inside scoop on how to get in on the best springtime white bass fishing no matter where you live in the state. While last year’s spring spawning run was already underway in southeast Oklahoma during the first week of March — and while it normally runs from mid-March to the first of May — this year’s run is slightly behind schedule, according to Kyle James, southeast region fisheries biologist for the Wildlife Department. “ The springtime delay is really testing the patience of Oklahoma anglers, but white bass spawning conditions are improving,” James said. “ The action will pick up, only this time a week or two later than usual. Hotspots in the southeast region include the narrows at Broken Bow, Pine Creek, Hugo, Sardis, and Wister reservoirs.” According to James, a 1/8 oz. jig with a white or yellow curly tailed grub is a popular lure for catching white bass. “" }, { "docid": "D2525174#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_menhaden\nAtlantic menhaden", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.

Where does the bass live? Is she in a state where there is a mild winter and the bass can feed all year or are they up north where the lakes freeze and their metabolism slows down for months out of the year and they almost completely stop eating (and growing). Also how big is the bass now? Bass grow really fast in length for the first couple years then slow down. A bass fry can grow 12 inches in the first year if the environment and food supply are all good. But a 12 inch bass may grow 2-5 inches the next year. On the other side of that, a larger bass (10+ pounds) may gain many pounds in weight in a year and barely grow any larger in length." }, { "docid": "D3315735#0", "title": "http://www.bassfishingandcatching.com/topwater-fishing.html\nTopwater Fishing For BassAnticipation, Exhilaration And An Adrenaline Rush!", "text": "\"Topwater Fishing For Bass Anticipation, Exhilaration And An Adrenaline Rush!Topwater fishing sounds like...

Aquatic insect immatures require a specific cumulative thermal regimen to attain maturity. This is customarily measured in degree-days. Without getting unnecessarily technical, each day the water temperature averages above the minimum threshold for growth, an aquatic insect living in it is considered to accumulate the number of degree-days by which the average temperature exceeds that threshold.

White sea bass can also be caught on the coast and all length fishing trips can catch these game fish. Typically the longer fishing trips such as overnight trips or longer are the most consistent at catching white sea bass. Early season white sea bass are almost always caught on live or fresh dead squid. Often white sea bass will locate spawning squid and will actively feed on them.

Whilst a catchy melody is arguably the single most important element to get right, it's also seriously beneficial to pay close attention to the bass line too. Musicians and composers have been using bass lines to spice up their scores for centuries, across all genres of music from classical to blues, jazz to pop. In this tutorial you'll pick up some tips, tricks and ideas to help you improve your compositions by creating better bass lines.1. The Root Note First of all you need to understand some of the basics about your song before you can write a good bass line. This means, you should first identify the following;What key is your song in? What are the main chords in the song? Without knowing the above two answers, you'll just be 'fumbling' around on your instrument trying to 'pitch' tones which appear to match or sound good to accompany the melody and/or backing track.

Credit: claudialothering Roo M Getty Images Full Answer Although salamanders are land creatures, they need to keep their skin and their eggs wet, according to How Stuff Works. This means that they prefer to stay in damp and dark areas, such as under dead wood, logs, rocks and anything else that they can slide under. This means that animals that hunt for them either have to be able to turn over or dig in these areas or catch them when they are out looking for insects to eat. The salamanders' preference in damp areas means that they are more likely to be found looking for food in the night or after a rain storm." }, { "docid": "D3306104#0", "title": "http://www.newtonsapple.org.uk/seed-dispersal-by-animals/\nSeed Dispersal by Animals", "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." }, { "docid": "D1842334#0", "title": "https://www.orkin.com/wildlife/bats/what-do-bats-eat/\nWhat Do Bats Eat?", "text": "What Do Bats Eat? Bats of most species typically eat insects. One of the most common bats, the little brown bat ( Myotis licifugus) is known to consume one third of its body weight in as little as 30 minutes. Insectivore bats, or those that feed on insects, provide important pest control. Some of their most desired food sources are insects that are harmful to humans. These insects include mosquitoes and agricultural pests. Since bats are beneficial, it is important to treat them with respect and to promote their activity–away from your house. Bats will feed on moths, beetles, winged ants, mayflies and any other relatively slow-flying insect. Some bats such as the big brown bat will feed to repletion in an hour.

Purple Martins & Bats Will Eat Anything Unfortunately, their reputation as mosquito predators is over-rated. Purple martins eat more insects than just mosquitoes. By Elizabeth Miller Mosquitoes have a number of natural enemies, some more useful than others to control them around human habitations. Some of the ones that you actually see out catching bugs are the least useful, specifically, when it comes to mosquitoes. Maybe purple martins and bats won't eat anything, but their choice of bugs is large enough that mosquitoes make up only a small part of their diet. Purple Martins Purple martins have gained a reputation as natural mosquito predators, and they do eat adult mosquitoes, but they eat most other kinds of flying bugs, too. No research has shown that mosquitoes are more than 3 percent of their diet, according to an article in Missouri Conservationist magazine. [ 1] The results seem logical, since martins catch insects during the day while flying high in the sky, but mosquitoes usually fly close to the ground looking for prey to bite, and are most active after dark. Claims that these birds can eat 2000 mosquitoes a day are based on a hypothetical diet eating nothing but mosquitoes--something that no purple martin actually does.

Bats, just like people, are susceptible to a variety of illnesses. While the prevalence of rabies in bats is very low (around 1% according to research i ), testing bats involved in human or pet exposures is critical to protect those exposed as well as public health in general. A bat must be euthanized to be tested, and about 6% of bats tested had rabies according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Bats are fascinating mammals that are vital for healthy ecosystems. They also benefit us, our crops, and our forests. The species that feed on nectar and fruit are key pollinators and seed-dispersers for many plants, and those that eat insects are our primary predators of nighttime insects, eating up to half of their body weight in insects in one night. Collectively, bats eat tons of insects nightly, drastically reducing the need for pest control.

Bats are more manoeuvrable than birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is 29–34 mm (1.14–1.34 in) in length, 15 cm (5.91 in) across the wings and 2–2.6 g (0.07–0.09 oz) in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes and the giant golden-crowned flying fox, Acerodon jubatus, which can weigh 1.6 kg (4 lb) and have a wingspan of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in). The second largest order of mammals, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,200 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the echolocating microbats.

I will examine this fact and attempt to show that even when perceived as a problem, ambiguity provides value. In any case, language ambiguity can be understood as an illustration of the complexity of language itself. As a start, I will define some terms to clarify what we mean by \"\"ambiguity.\"\" By defining \"\"lexical and structural ambiguity,\"\" \"\"connotation, denotation and implication\"\" and tropes as metaphor and allegory, I will try to construct a base upon which language ambiguity takes on extra meaning. Following this, I will use three major accomplishments of human creativity: literature, psychoanalysis and computational linguistics, as examples of where language ambiguity has an important place. I will briefly comment on the consequences of the different interpretations of one of the most, if not the most, controversial work of literature in history: the Holy Bible. What does Language Ambiguity Mean? Something is ambiguous when it can be understood in two or more possible senses or ways. If the ambiguity is in a single word it is called lexical ambiguity." }, { "docid": "D76502#0", "title": "http://www.spirit-animals.com/bat/\nBat Symbolism", "text": "Animal Totems | Land Animals | Bat Land Animals | 69 Comments Bat Symbolism In order to transform this situation you must talk about your feelings.

You can use the echo command to stop the display, or to make something display, as you wish. For instance, here is a simple one line batch file: echo Hello people, how is life in the carbon world? If you create this file and run it, you will see the sentence displayed on the screen. Try creating this file as test1.bat in your temporary directory. This can be useful when you want to display some piece of text. For instance, in many DOS installation programs, you would see something on the screen that told you to wait while the installation program was doing something. Or, in a networked environment you could display a login message. Another use of the ECHO command has to do with the way that batch files normally execute.

The butterfly is called 'hu tieh' in Mandarin language. The word 'tieh' translates as seventy years, and because of this the animals are taken as a symbol of long life. Butterfly to the Chinese also represents love, specifically young love. It symbolizes an undying bond between lovers. In feng shui applications, the use of butterflies is considered the same as the use of the birds symbol. Both butterflies and birds are flying free, and this speaks to the deep human longing for a free and joyful life close to sky/heaven. Since love is the most transformative feeling that makes people feel like flying, the butterfly is the most common symbol used as a feng shui cure for love and romance. Another excellent use of this symbol in feng shui is in the Creativity and Children area of the Bagua as this will energize the free flow of your life's creative energy.

Most amino acids are processed in the liver. But the three of proteinogenic BCAAs-- leucine, isoleucine and valine— are primarily oxidized in the skeletal muscle and other tissues, and play a role in muscle synthesis in a number of (complex!) ways. However, leucine seems to play a particularly important role. Leucine alone appears to be nearly as effective as the complete mixture of BCAAs in supporting m TOR signaling and protein synthesis (and muscle synthesis is negligible if BCAAs are not present but other amino acids are). Isoleucine or valine alone seem to have no effect on muscle growth. Leucine, however, can stimulate muscle synthesis very well on its own, and as such is the most important of the BCAAs for hypertrophy. It is unclear whether a healthy young bodybuilder actually benefits from BCAA supplementation, since most protein sources consumed by bodybuilders are already rich in BCAAs or if the anabolic effect triggered by leucine is actually significant enough to make a difference. At least one study found whey protein plus leucine in healthy young volunteers resulted in an anabolic response no greater than to whey protein alone (which is already high in leucine)." }, { "docid": "D1469631#0", "title": "http://stayfitcentral.com/buyers-guides/post-workout-muscle-soreness-5-supplements-that-eliminate-the-pain/\nPost-Workout Muscle Soreness â 5 Supplements That Eliminate The Pain", "text": "Post-Workout Muscle Soreness – 5 Supplements That Eliminate The Pain By Curt in Buyers Guides0 0 0 1Preventing Post-Workout Muscle Soreness Hard and intense workouts are the best.

Caffeine causes an increase in catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine), resulting in increased alertness, focus, and perceived energy. In most individuals, increased energy may lead to a more intense/longer workout. Because epinephrine and norepinephrine induce lipolysis, caffeine has often been implicated as a fat-burner, but human studies have demonstrated that tolerance builds fairly quickly so caffeine is not an effective long-term fat burner. That being said, it is a very effective ergogenic aid, and often forms the basis for stimulant based pre-workouts. Lipo Rush contains 275mg of caffeine, which is enough to produce noticeable effects in most people, especially when combined with the other stimulants present in the formula. EMPLICA OFFICINALISEmblica officinalis (also known as Amla) is touted by the herbal medicine community to have a variety of benefits in humans, the most common of which are cognitive enhancement and blood glucose lowering. The cognitive benefits are the result of several antioxidant compounds found in Amla, as well as the possible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme which breaks down acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that is largely accredited with controlling the “mind-muscle connection”, and increasing levels in the brain may very well result in enhanced physical performance." }, { "docid": "D2520853#0", "title": "http://www.strongsupplementshop.com/hemo-rage-black-by-nutrex-research/\nHemo Rage Black by Nutrex Research", "text": "Add Post Workout Recovery Supplement: Jet Mass Creatine ORANGE CREME Jet Mass Creatine ORANGE CREMEMyogenix After Shock Post Workout Fruit Punch Myogenix After Shock Post Workout Fruit Punch Jet Mass Creatine TROPICAL ICE GAT Jet Mass is a premium post-workout recovery formula shown to promote bigger gains in lean muscle, improve recovery and facilitate hypertrophy during the most critical anabolic window.

BCAAs The branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) are a group of three essential amino acids: l-leucine, l-valine, and l-isoleucine. An essential amino acid (there are 9 of them in the body) is any amino acid that can’t be manufactured by the body naturally, meaning that they have to come from protein intake. BCAA’s are the only amino acids metabolized inside of the muscle itself (all of the others are metabolized in the liver), and make up about 35% of muscle tissue. During intense training the BCAA’s serve as a major source of fuel for the body. When your internal BCAA hit empty the body begins to break down precious muscle tissue. Excess BCAAs = protection against muscle breakdown." }, { "docid": "D1370011#0", "title": "http://www.idealfit.com/blog/do-you-need-bcaas/\nDo You Need BCAAs?

These three amino acids play a key role in muscle protein synthesis - the main mechanisms behind building muscle and reducing muscle breakdown. Although BCAAs are an extremely popular supplement, few people are aware of the individual differences between their favorite brands. Just like the variance in type and quality of different proteins, a large difference can be found in your BCAA product. There are many ways in which a BCAA supplement can differ, including: The ratio of the three BCAAs,Additional ingredients and fillers used,Sweeteners and colors,The quality of the actual BCAA.1. RATIO OF THE 3 BCAAYou’ve probably seen different ratios, varying from 1:1:1 all the way to 10:1:1. This describes the amount of Leucine to isoleucine and valine. While many supplements may use this as a “marketing tool”, manipulating the classic ratios may actually have a negativ e effect on your physique. Unbeknown to most, the most optimal ratio of BCAA products is 2:1:1, so a 4g serving should provide:2g of Leucine,1g of Isoleucine1g of Valine This is vitally important as Leucine is the key amino acid for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

This article will review BCAA basics and give you ten benefits of getting enough BCAAs. The Basics of BCAAs The BCAAs are made up of three essential amino, leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are essential because the body is unable to make them out of other amino acids, meaning they must be ingested through food or supplements. The BCAAs make up 40 percent of the daily requirement of all nine essential amino acids, indicating their importance. The BCAAs are found in foods containing protein, with the highest concentrations in chicken, beef, salmon, eggs, and whey protein. They can also be supplemented, which can be useful for athletes because free form BCAAs bypass the liver and gut tissue and go directly to the blood stream. As their name suggests, BCAAs have a branched side chain that simplifies the job of converting each amino acid into energy during intense exertion." }, { "docid": "D243397#0", "title": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2o4yva/what_do_bcaa_supplements_do_eli5/\n.", "text": "\" [–] papahance Weight Lifting 3 points 3 years ago Less muscle breakdown when working out fasted (working out right when you wake up, or after not eating for a long period of time).

Yet another name for this caterpillar is the Hedgehog Caterpillar, because it curls into a tight bristly ball and “plays dead” when picked up or disturbed. Whatever name they go by, they are often found in the autumn after they have left their food plants (variety of grasses and weeds including plantain, dandelion, and nettles) in search of a dark and sheltered spot where they can hibernate as larvae for the winter. The Woolly Bear ( Pyrrharctia isabella) Caterpillar is found across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Woolly Bear Folklore: According to folklore, the amount of black on the woolly bear in autumn varies proportionately with the severity of the coming winter in the locality where the caterpillar is found. The longer the woolly bear's black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, the wider the middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest." }, { "docid": "D420476#0", "title": "http://www.wikihow.com/Raise-a-Woolly-Bear\nHow to Raise a Woolly Bear", "text": "Reader Approved How to Raise a Woolly Bear In late September and especially in October, you may find an abundance of woolly bears crawling all over the place. If you do, you may want to raise it until it becomes an Isabella Tiger Moth. Here's how to: Steps1 Find a small plastic cup with a lid. Poke a few holes toward the top of the cup and in the lid for air. Alternately, you could buy a special butterfly habitat, but it will work either way.2 Put enough soil in the cup to cover the bottom of the cup. The woolly bear likes to hibernate in the soil.3 Tear up some leaves that you've found on the ground and place them inside the cup.4 Find some twigs and lay them in the cup. You also may want to make 2 or 3 twigs stand up against the sides of the cup so the woolly bear can climb up the twigs. Just make sure they aren't big enough for the woolly bear to crawl out of the cup.5 Lay some fresh grass in the cup.6 Find a woolly bear, and place it in the cup. Only put in a maximum of 2 in a cup because in their later stages, they do not like to have much company. Just keeping one by itself is great for him.7 Using a spray bottle, spray about only 1 squirt of water in the cup." }, { "docid": "D116798#0", "title": "http://www.gotohoroscope.com/txt/dream-dictionary-bear.html\nDream Dictionary Bear", "text": "\"Dream Dictionary Bear When you dream of bears, you can look forward to success and good luck in the near future. It is still important to consider how the bear behaved, as well as whether it was in a natural environment, or in a man-made setting. As may be expected, if you were afraid of the bear, or it caused you some type of harm, then this type of dream may not be as auspicious as you originally thought it was. Bear Dream General Meaning Historically speaking, bears have many meanings in various spiritual traditions. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that they can also indicate some type of hibernation or awakening when they appear in your dream life. Since bears are often intimately tied to the cycles of nature, you can also interpret these animals to indicate various cycles of life. Regardless of whether this dream is about cycles, or inner landscape matters, you can look forward to a period of inner reflection and growth, as well as success in things that matter to you. Unfortunately, if you were afraid of the bear, chased by it, or attacked, then the dream may indicate you will feel troubled by various elements of you waking and emotional life. In addition, since bears naturally belong in the wild, seeing dream bears in a zoo, or some other form of captivity indicates that you may need to cope with emotional and spiritual problems. Bears that are wounded or unhealthy may also carry less than positive meanings in your dream." }, { "docid": "D2030929#0", "title": "http://www.grandforksherald.com/lifestyles/3927134-book-tells-true-story-behind-revenant-and-hugh-glass\nBook tells the true story behind 'The Revenant' and Hugh Glass", "text": "\"Book tells the true story behind 'The Revenant' and Hugh Glass By Beth Rickers on Jan 18, 2016 at 3:08 p.m. \"\"Lord Grizzly\"\"“The Revenant” won the Best Drama Motion Picture category at the Golden Globe Awards. And last week, “The Revenant” scored 12 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Alejandro Inarritu), Best Actor (Leonardo Di Caprio) and Best Supporting Actor (Tom Hardy). Upper Midwesterners who have seen this already acclaimed film may experience a niggling of familiarity with the storyline in the back of their brains. The tale of Hugh Glass is a regional real-life legend: The frontiersman sustained life-threatening injuries in an encounter with a she-bear, then was left for dead by his companions. But he didn’t die. Fueled by the need for vengeance, Glass used his survival skills to hobble, crawl and claw his way across the prairie to confront those who betrayed him. The familiarity with the story may come from having heard the legend discussed or from visiting a monument to Glass that stands at Lemmon, S. D., in the northeast part of the state near the North Dakota border, site of the bear attack. But it’s more likely that niggling is due to having read “Lord Grizzly,” written by Frederick Manfred, the late author who made his home in Luverne, and published first in 1954. Over the years, “Lord Grizzly” became required reading for countless youths who took regional literature or history classes." }, { "docid": "D1302658#0", "title": "https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/insulation/\nHow Much Does it Cost to Insulate a House?", "text": "\"Types of Insulation Insulation is broken into four categories. The choice of insulation you make largely depends on the area you need to insulate, your home’s climate location, the current R-value of your home, and your budget. Spray Foam Insulation Spray foam insulation seals leaks and gaps inside existing walls and is the perfect solution for those who are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to fix a larger problem, while increasing their home's R-value. How it works: Liquid polyurethane is sprayed into the cavity of the wall, where it then hardens and transforms into a solid foam. Types of foam: Spray foam comes in two varieties: half-pound open-cell foam and a more dense type called two-pound closed-cell foam. Of the two, the two-pound variety does a better job at insulating, but isn't always the right choice for the job or the budget. Benefits of spray foam: Of all the foam insulators, closed-cell foam has the highest R-value of any insulator you can buy, up to R6 per inch. Furthermore, spray foam takes up much less space than fiberglass or comparable blown-ins. It should also be noted that, when done properly, spray foam can save you as much as $500 a year in energy costs.

AMC introduced a variety of six-cylinder engine changes from the mid-‘50s forward, offering four-main bearing inline sixes in L-head, iron OHV and even a short-lived aluminum block design that featured iron cylinder liners and an iron, OHV cylinder head.

Lightweight Rambler six-cylinder models stood for economy, and AMC entered the ‘sixties intent on elevating the status of inline six-cylinder performance. This feat was a significant challenge in an era of V-8 muscle power and cheap, readily available, high-octane pump gas. Though Jeep owners may wish to believe otherwise, AMC did not invent the seven-main bearing inline six. In fact, G.

The timing of certain milestones is extremely variable, especially in the area of large motor development (such as sitting, crawling, and walking). While 9 months is the average age that babies start to crawl, it's neither unusual nor abnormal for babies to put off crawling until 11 or 12 months -- or in some cases, not crawl at all. Two main factors seem to influence when babies crawl:1. Baby's personality. Babies with mellow or laid-back personalities generally tend to sit up, crawl, and walk a month or so later than \"\"hyper\"\" or \"\"motor\"\" babies who can't wait to move.

I was taught in therapy school that the experience of crawling plays a critical role in infant development, and that it is not good for a baby to skip this milestone. Yet, just as this mother said, we often hear of infants totally bypassing the crawling phase to go straight to walking. Whether or not crawling truly plays a significant role in infant development is a matter of debate among some medical and research professionals, but many pediatricians and therapists firmly believe that parents should encourage their little ones to crawl on all fours, at least for a brief period of time.

A hatchling dragon will eat mostly small insects. As your dragon grows, he will start to eat more vegetable matter. The diet of a juvenile dragon (2-4 months of age) will consist of approximately 80% insects and 20% greens. Young dragons should be fed 2-3 times daily. If insufficient food is fed, young dragons may nip at the tails and toes of their cage mates. Meat food sources for your Bearded Dragon can include pinky mice (for adults) and insects such as: Crickets; pinhead crickets for juveniles Mealworms Wax worms - high in fat, so feed sparingly King worms Earthworms Cockroaches Freshly molted insects are easier for your Bearded Dragon to digest. You should coat feeder insects with a calcium supplement (powdered calcium carbonate or calcium gluconate) 3-5 times per week for adults; every day for juveniles.

Lianne Mc Leod Popular as pets, bearded dragons or \"\"beardies\"\" are moderately sized lizards native to Australia. While they are generally considered good pets, even for beginner reptile owners, they do have fairly complex nutritional and environmental requirements. Therefore, special equipment and a fair amount of time is needed to care for bearded dragons properly. However, they are social, easy to tame and handle, and they show a range of fascinating behaviors that make them interesting to watch. Names: Bearded dragon, Pogona vitticeps, Central bearded dragon, Inland bearded dragon Size: 16 to 24 inches long Lifespan: 6-10 years is common but up to 20 years is documented About Bearded Dragons Although several other species are becoming available to the pet trade, the most commonly available variety is the central or inland bearded dragon, Pogona vitticeps. This species is native to arid, rocky areas of Australia, and is typically tan/brown in coloration (but several color morphs are also available). Their bearded name is derived from the spines that line their throats. These spines usually lie flat but if the dragon feels threatened, the throat is expanded causing the spines to stand up and making the dragon look like they have a beard and more intimidating (especially combined with their tendency to flatten their bodies to appear wider). However, bearded dragons are generally docile and their aggressive displays are rarely seen in captivity which makes them very popular pet reptiles." }, { "docid": "D825108#0", "title": "https://www.southtexasdragons.com/bearded-dragon-behavior.html\nCommon Bearded Dragon Behaviors", "text": "Common Bearded Dragon Behaviors Part of understanding how to properly care for your bearded dragon, involves first understanding your bearded dragons’ behavior. This will make it easier to determine when your bearded dragon needs something, and can provide vital clues that they may be injured or ill. There are approximately 73 different behavior patterns which have been observed in bearded dragons. Some behaviors are only seen when they are alone and some are only seen when they see another dragon or other animal in their marked territory. These behaviors are used for sleep & resting, social hierarchy, thermoregulation, seasonal changes, territorial behaviors, and in response to external stimulus. If you only have 1 bearded dragon you may not observe some of the more common behaviors. Sometimes their behavior is easy to explain but sometimes the behavior is difficult to understand. If you see your dragon scratching, pacing, or glass surfing, it may mean that they want to be taken out and handled, that there is something inside their enclosure that irritates or stresses them out, or they may want or need something else. Because many of the behaviors that you observe can have different meanings in different situations, it is sometimes difficult to understand what your dragon is trying to tell you with their behavior, but as you spend time watching your dragon you will become more familiar with their “normal” behavior. Once you are familiar with their normal behavior, it will be easier to recognize any changes in the behavior which may indicate that your dragon needs or wants something, and can even indicate that they may be injured or ill." }, { "docid": "D772130#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100524111542AARKlkO\nWhat do box turtles eat?", "text": "\"Pets Reptiles What do box turtles eat?

It says something about first impressions that, no matter how much of a shock they are, they stay with you. Although I am not a Catholic, I’ve found that, throughout my career as an A-Level teacher, I’ve chosen to teach Hopkins whenever the opportunity has arisen, including 1981 and 1993 when, in the course of class discussions, I dictated a variety of sentences, but never went so far as to complete my own analysis of a poem. For its A2-Level Unit 2710 Poetry & Drama, OCR (for 2006) chose Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Selected Poems (in an edition by Catherine Phillips of Downing College, Cambridge). Upon seeing this prescription again, I decided that it was about time that I employed for Hopkins’ work the technique which I have for some years been bringing to the teaching of individual poems: that is, compose for each sonnet a commentary or an exegesis which sets out to encompass the Assessment Objectives. Rather than scribble down somewhere the words and the phrases by which quotations were to be illuminated, my students would be able to have these critical terms in their grammatical contexts, their usages explicit, ready for high-lighting. The poems which I analyse are not any poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889). One unique difficulty which attends the exegesis of a Hopkins sonnet involves his concept of ‘inscape’: without explaining what ‘inscape’ is, it is not possible fully to explain the poem. For this reason, Part I concerns itself with the three poems (As kingfishers catch fire, The Windhover, Binsey Poplars) which rely conspicuously and prominently upon ‘inscapes’ for their inspirations; in Part I, my commentaries on those three poems, each one not so much repeating as reinforcing points made in the other two, endeavour to prepare the way for my teaching of other sonnets to which an understanding of ‘inscape’ is indispensable.

These interpretations of Aristotle’s ethics are the result of imprecise translations from the ancient Greek text. Aristotle uses the word hexis to denote moral virtue. But the word does not merely mean passive habituation. Rather, hexis is an active condition, a state in which something must actively hold itself. Virtue, therefore, manifests itself in action. More explicitly, an action counts as virtuous, according to Aristotle, when one holds oneself in a stable equilibrium of the soul, in order to choose the action knowingly and for its own sake.

Brown Introduction As you will soon discover, many of our troubles with beauty are linguistic. Therefore it is essential to explain one's terms, a process that will continue throughout the text as we meet new parts of the subject. As a first installment it is appropriate to say something about the terms for our entire subject: aesthetics, theory of beauty, philosophy of art. All these terms have a somewhat relaxed character. Thinkers use them variously and sometimes interchangeably, and everyone knows that this is so. No momentous consequences result from this looseness of usage, but it is good to know what the author you are reading means by them. I take aesthetics to include theory of beauty as a proper part. Besides beauty, there are other aesthetic values: sublimity, expressiveness, humor, picturesqueness, prettiness, cuteness, comfiness, neatness, and so forth. I don't have a complete list, and I don't know of anyone who does. Furthermore it is an open question, in my mind, just how many values can be construed as forms of beauty." }, { "docid": "D3154452#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_do_piercings_mean\nWhat do piercings mean?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Beauty Hair Facial Hair Eyebrows What do piercings mean?

The folklore of beauty spots goes back to at least medieval times in Europe. Some said that they were caused by the unsatisfied wishes of the woman during pregnancy while others told that the pregnant woman had seen something strange or had had fear in her mind. Further back in time, ancient Chinese beliefs graded moles as lucky or unlucky, depending on their prominence, position, colour and size. They were said to be either lucky or unlucky and foretold great things in life, ranging from wealth and prosperity to good health and abundant resources. However, if there were many moles on the face the meanings of the moles were diminished since they were no longer unique. These are the meanings of moles as listed in the Chinese almanac Tung Shu Chinese Bad Luck Moles A mole beneath the eyebrows suggests discord with extended family members. The stress caused by this may affect personal and professional aspects of life.

I didn't read Ishiguro's novel, and I found Mark Romanek's film (screenplay by Alex Garland) to be a beautiful, profound and complete meditation on life. It demonstrates the best and worst of human behavior, the beauty of undying love, and the heroism of accepting responsibility (or fate in this case). To me, the story is uplifting and memorable, in spite of its overall sad and melancholy tone. What's more, it's seamless, from the superb performances by Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield, to the near perfect direction by Romanek, to its gorgeous cinematography with muted color palette, to its precise wabi-sabi production design (the beauty of worn and broken things)." }, { "docid": "D500277#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/beauty-fashion/925-stamp-mean-gold-9b07b2259d387c2e\n\"What Does a \"\"925\"\" Stamp Mean on Gold?\"", "text": "\"Beauty & Fashion Jewelry & Watches Precious Metals & Gems Q: What Does a \"\"925\"\" Stamp Mean on Gold?

Symbolic in Buddhism is to represent courage. Today the fish are considered to be symbolic of advancement materially and spiritually. According to Japanese legend, if a koi fish succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. Another legend states that the koi climb the waterfall bravely, and if they are caught, they face their death on the cutting board bravely like a samuri. In Japan, the word koi refers primarily to the wild variety. As a result, many of the country's symbolic meanings for the fish refer to the wild variety instead of the fish species as a whole.

Examples: My aunt’s home is in Montana. Our supervisor’s name is Joshua. This is generally true even if the word itself ends with an s. Still add an apostrophe and s. Examples: Have you seen Marcus’s report? We reviewed James’s work yesterday. On the other hand, some writers prefer to omit the s after the apostrophe whenever a word already ends in s or z.

July 13, 2015 by Jack Wellman 3 Comments What is the symbolism of a dove in the Bible? Who or what does this represent? The Dove in the Old Testament The dove has long been a symbol of peace in the history of mankind but the dove has great symbolism in the Bible too and is mentioned 46 times in Scripture. The first occurrence we read about a dove is when Noah “sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground ” (Gen 8:8) “ but the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark ” (Gen 8:9). That’s when Noah “ waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark ” and this time “ When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf!

The \"\"primitive work\"\" in this sense, may be simply the work of a bungler who lacks both artistic inspiration and technical skill, in which case it has nothing to do with real primitiveness but is simply bad art without even a documentary value to recommend it. On the other hand, if it is the work of a savage or a child, it will have some importance at least as genetic or psychological evidence. Fashion Dictates Aesthetics An art style is not a static but a dynamic phenomenon, bound up and changing with a specific period of cultural development. It is an established fact that there is something like a periodicity of art styles, corresponding to a periodicity of tastes. It is not certain to what extent the style and the emotional reaction to it are conditioned by each other. The most obvious characteristic of modern artistic taste is simplicity. Living in a highly complicated world, noisy and mechanised to breaking point, twentieth-century man developed a strong tendency towards simplicity - simplicity in the external forms of daily life, a distaste for ornamentation in architecture, furniture and utensils, and a preference for primitiveness and spontaneity, rather than refinement and sophistication. That is why the simplicity of many primitive arts appeals to him so strongly. The critic G. A. Stevens once wrote: \"\"Primitive art is the most pure, most sincere form of art there can be, partly because it is deeply inspired by religious ideas and spiritual experience, and partly because it is entirely unselfconscious as art; there are no tricks which can be acquired by the unworthy, and no technical exercises Which can masquerade as works of inspiration." }, { "docid": "D2351124#0", "title": "http://www.earlychildhoodnews.com/earlychildhood/article_view.aspx?ArticleId=130\n.", "text": "\"When Children Draw By Sandra Crosser, Ph.

Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has never shied from controversy – and that now extends to his old neighborhood. Though he’s earned a reputation over the years as a city benefactor – donating money to fight graffiti and saving the city's St. Patrick’s Day Parade one year – some neighbors blame him for increasing community tensions of late near his former Preston Hollow digs. The brash billionaire has patched together a half dozen properties at the busy corner of Northwest Highway and Preston Road. And recently, he’s stoked fears that he might turn the single-family lots into something denser by clearing trees, fences and a home. Cuban, in an email, said he’s in “no rush to do anything beyond cleaning the property and opening it up for any one to see.” While he didn’t deny that he’s trying to “generate interest,” he added that he’s “exploring all options but no decisions have been made.” But some local residents, such as former Mayor Laura Miller, complain that the property clearing is now exposing homes to traffic, noise and potential intruders.

Therefore, many of the early symbols relate to ancient India and can be found in Hinduism as well, although possibly with a somewhat different meaning. The historical Buddha lived around the sixth century BCE, but no Buddhist artifacts are known from before the third century BCE. In the scriptures, it is mentioned that the Buddha did occasionally use images like the 'Wheel of Life' to illustrate the teachings. The first archaeological evidence, mainly of ornamental stone carvings, comes from the time of the Emperor Asoka (273 - 232 BCE), who converted to Buddhism and made it a popular religion in India and beyond . In the second century BCE, people started to excavate Buddhist monasteries in rock, creating a large amount of artwork to withstand the ages. Probably the earliest typical Buddhist monument is the stupa, which was often specially decorated. The first actual Buddha images appeared around the first century BCE, so until then the artwork was largely symbolic in nature. With the appearance of Buddhist Tantra around the 6th century, a wealth of new artwork and symbolism appeared, as imagination and visualization form a major technique in meditation practices. From this moment on, a pantheon of deities and protectors appeared, together with a vast collection of symbolic items, such as the vajra and bell, mandalas etc. ;" }, { "docid": "D457758#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/beauty-fashion/10kp-mean-gold-ring-b012ea7f940d350a\nWhat Does 10kp Mean on a Gold Ring?", "text": "\"Beauty & Fashion Jewelry & Watches Rings Q: What Does 10kp Mean on a Gold Ring?

It's simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all. Wabi-sabi is flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent. Wabi-sabi is underplayed and modest, the kind of quiet, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered. It's a fragmentary glimpse: the branch representing the entire tree, shoji screens filtering the sun, the moon 90 percent obscured behind a ribbon of cloud.

There are many different models of all-inclusive brooders from battery style boxes to hovering space ship looking canopies; they can utilize gas or electric. They can be expensive and you can often just as easily create your own brooder for less. Ducklings need .75 sq ft each for the first two weeks, 1.75 until 4 wks, 2.75 until 6wks. Half this for the bantams. We have found plastic Rubbermaid totes/tubs to work best for smaller numbers of ducklings as they are easily maneuverable, however a kiddy provides much more space especially for larger numbers but is very awkward to get move outside when full of used bedding and needs additional guards to be set around the perimeter to keep ducklings in and drafts out. Bedding We find Rye straw to be the best bedding source because it is cushiony, makes a nice nest, it keeps deep litter aerated, and when it needs to be changed it can be used as fertilizer rich mulch in our garden. Shavings, sawdust, peanut hulls, and crushed corncobs have all been used satisfactorily, NO cedar and treated woods. We have tried peat moss seeing it is a wonderful mold-resistant bedding source but found that our ducks liked to forage in it creating muddy water in minutes. Some say ducks can choke on the straw, ducklings start foraging hours after they hatch, if it looks like it could be food (grass/ a worm), they might try to eat it, make sure the straw is large and gets changed as soon as dampened." }, { "docid": "D163215#0", "title": "https://www.highya.com/nectar-mattress-reviews\nNectar Mattress Reviews", "text": "\"Nectar Mattress Reviews7 Consumer Reviews Nectar Mattress is a direct-to-consumer company that claims to manufacture high-quality, comfortable memory foam mattresses that come with a forever guarantee.

Many bed bug websites and forums keep reiterating the point that bed bugs are driven deeper in to your home when you spray for them. They nest in the walls, an can even travel to other homes, especially if you live in an apartment or duplex. It is true, the bed bugs will try to delve deep within your walls through cracks and the spaces around baseboards. They move room to room via secret corridors and end up anywhere. Humans are smarter than bed bugs. If you seal up every crack in your home you can prevent bed bugs from seeking refuge.

Now inspect where you think they might be, is there any evidence? if you find the bugs keep a few as proof (in case you need to call a Pest Control company) on a piece of sticky tape or in a plastic bag, careful not to squash them… keep everything you suspect of having bugs or eggs in it in one room as much as possible.

My back yard is infested with gnats, and it’s driving me nuts! I have a dog, so I want to be careful about what products I use. Could you please help? -Trisha While we frequently use the word “gnats” to refer to any number of tiny winged insects (such as biting midges, punkies, and no see ums), true fungus gnats are small nonbiting insects that are drawn to wet, rotten organic matter where they lay their eggs and soon hatch into larvae. In general, they are relatively harmless creatures, but their incessant swarming is annoying enough to drive even the toughest of gardeners indoors. Like mosquitoes, gnats can be difficult to control, because the problem may go beyond your property line. It’s pretty hard to deal with any insect in your own yard if they’re flying in from a nearby lake or farm, and some parts of the world seem to be overrun during the warmer months. A little vanilla extract on the brim of your hat acts as a “natural” gnat repellent. Take these steps to make your yard less inviting to gnats: Keep your garden free of mold, fungus, and rotting plant debris." }, { "docid": "D1571265#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_dog\nDetection dog", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Detection dog training in U.

[ 1] The sense most used by detection dogs is smell. Hunting dogs that search for game, and search dogs that work to find missing humans are generally not considered detection dogs. There is some overlap, as in the case of cadaver dogs, trained to search for human remains. A police dog is essentially a detection dog that is used as a resource for police in specific scenarios such as conducting drug raids, finding missing criminals, and locating stashed currency. Frequently, detection dogs are thought to be used for law enforcement purposes; however, they're also used as a valuable research tool for wildlife biologists. In California, detection dogs are trained to discover quagga mussels on boats at public boat ramps because they are a harmful invasive species for the environment. Detection dogs also tend to be employed for the purposes of finding and collecting the feces of a diverse array of species, including caribou, [2] black-footed ferret, killer whale [3], and Oregon spotted frog. This process is known as wildlife scat detection.

Why do bees need nectar and pollen – and how do they use it? It’s well known that bees gather these products from flowers, but why do they need them - what are the specific benefits to bees? Basically, nectar provides an important energy source (carbohydrate) – it supplies a complex range of sugars, whilst pollen gives vital protein and fats. Although all bees need pollen at some stage in their lives, not all bees gather it. Male bees do not collect pollen, and have no pollen baskets (corbicula) with which to transport it from flowers to the nest or hive. Cuckoo species – such as cuckoo bumblebees also do not gather pollen, since they also have no pollen baskets, however, they do require it, but rely on the host bumblebee species to supply their needs. So let’s look at the requirements of the different types of bees. Why do Bumblebee and Solitary bees need nectar and pollen? Queen bumblebees, for example, will very quickly seek nectar when they emerge early in the year – usually it will still be cold, and the bumblebee queen will need to boost her energy resources very quickly." } ]

It’s not for us, really. Scienceline reports: Unsurprisingly, many flowers emit scents to aid reproduction. Some flowering plants are generalists and use their odors to entice a host of insects and birds to fertilize their flowers. Others specialize, releasing scents that only appeal to a particular insect. The Soaptree yucca, for example, emits an aroma that attracts a single, aptly named species of yucca moth. As pollinators travel from flower to flower, they collect and deposit pollen, fertilizing the plants. But, as with most natural phenomena, humans have figured out ways to steal the flower’s power. Scienceline writes about the Persian physician Ibn Sina, who distilled roses into aromatic oils thousands of years ago: He placed the flowers in a heated chamber to create a vapor of scented oil and water; after the steam condensed Ibn Sina collected the oil that floated to the top of the watery mixture.

Nectar is usually secreted from glands called floral nectaries that are found in various places in a flower depending on the species.

To entice bees and other pollinating creatures in, plants produce flowers which are often brightly coloured, scented and provide pollen or nectar as a food reward. The pollen can be all sorts of colours too, from blue-black to green. Some pollens are more valuable to bees than others, as pollens have a varying protein content of between 2-28%. Pollen is almost the only source of protein naturally available to bees and is essential for the development of their hypopharyngeal glands so they can produce brood food for larvae and their wax glands so they can build comb. If you're after the names of particular plants, that will depend where you live. The pollen cycle varies in different locations - in the UK it usually starts in the early spring with plants such as crocus, willow & snowdrops, followed by dandelion, hawthorn, horse-chestnut and fruit trees. Around mid-late summer clovers, lime, rosebay willowherb and brambles are important, with the late flowering heathers, thistles and bitter ivy bringing the pollen year to the close.

That’s a given, but when you’re growing it may sometimes seem like the garden’s doing everything it can to work against you- especially when it’s time to grow new plants. Given all the natural conditions it takes to make sure pollen gets in to a flower, pollination seems like blind luck. When it comes to indoor growing, though, pollination can be less of a miracle and more of a pain when pollen’s available but nothing’s turning out seeds. Whether your plants reproduce by wind pollination, carrier pollination (like bee’s and animals), we manually pollinate them, or they pollinate themselves, when your plants can’t pollinate they can’t produce seeds.

Bee drinking nectar Bumblebee covered with pollen Pollination is part of sexual reproduction in plants. It describes how the pollen grains get to the female parts of a plant. Pollen grains, which contain the male gametes, need to get to where the female gamete (s) are. What happens is basically the same as sexual reproduction in animals. Each pollen grain is haploid: it has half of the DNA (genetic information) that is needed to make a new plant. During fertilization this combines with the DNA that is in the egg of the female part and a zygote is formed." }, { "docid": "D3349548#0", "title": "http://healthywithhoney.com/himalayan-red-honey-aka-mad-toxic-hallucinogenic-honey-from-nepal/\nHimalayan Red Honey â aka mad, toxic, hallucinogenic honey from Nepal.", "text": "Himalayan Red Honey – aka mad, toxic, hallucinogenic honey from Nepal.

Each colony has a single queen—the only sexually developed female of the colony—whose primary job is to mate with male \"\"drones\"\" in her colony and lay eggs. Those males don't collect pollen or nectar, clean, or make anything. All they do is mate with their queen. Once in the queen's lifetime she'll fly to the 'drone congregation area' and mate with up to 20 drones. Males unlucky enough to get lucky will have their genitals ripped from their bodies when the mating is done, then fall to their deaths. The queen can then lay eggs for the rest of her life without mating again—as frequently as one every 20 seconds. Her egg production will eventually slow down, and once it does, her daughter bees will surround and suffocate her, then toss her corpse out of the hive. It's a brutal cycle of life, during which every bee plays a specific, demanding part. But the entirety of the honeybee's life and death is set around the drive to create something particularly sweet: honey, nature's only manufactured food, and the most important product of colony life." }, { "docid": "D1997973#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/bees-pollinate-sunflowers-65431.html\nDo Bees Pollinate Sunflowers?", "text": "\"Related Articles What Is It Called When Sunflowers Turn & Face the Sun?

Each flower head's central disc contains many smaller tubular disc flowers, each with its own supply of nectar and pollen. The showy outer ray petals help attract the pollinators. Bees go from flower to flower within the disc, becoming covered with pollen. They then pollinate other sunflowers as they go from plant to plant.

Honey bees do not chew through wood, stucco, or metal. Structural problems do not occur during the initial entrance of the bees; they occur after at least one week after the bees enter the dwelling. Some of the damage is directly from the bees, while there is other damage from wax moths that target the wax comb. Moisture Barrier Building Felt visibly eaten and bees entering behind it. The most significant damage that bees cause is the removal of the moisture barrier, building felt, and vapor barrier in walls. When a bee hive moves into a wall void, it expands very quickly to the point it touches the moisture barrier or building felt. Without a quick removal, the bees will remove this paper by chewing through to the stucco, wood, or whatever surface the wall is constructed of. This can be easily proven in that often beekeepers use paper to temporarily separate two hives that they are combining.

In short, honey bees make honey as a way of storing food to eat over the cooler winter period, when they are unable to forage and there are fewer flowers from which to gather food. Honey is ideal for bees - it is full of nutrients and is a great energy food, because it is high in sugars. When you consider that whilst flying, a honey bee's wings beat about 11,400 times per minute, you can guess they need a great deal of energy!

Look for the updated site to launch in early 2010. This essay explains why vegans do not eat honey. By Definition The simplest reason why honey isn't vegan is by definition. The term vegan was coined by Donald Watson in 1944 and was defined as follows: Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals (Stepaniak). People who follow a vegan diet for health or environmental reasons, please take note . We don't, however, need to go back to 1944 to define honey as not vegan. Any definition of veganism would talk about not exploiting animals, and honeybees ( Apis mellifera) are, without a doubt, animals.

Since then, there have been mass die offs in many of the other 4,000 species of bees. In 2006, the phenomenon was bestowed with the name colony collapse disorder. No one is exactly sure why the bees are dying off in unprecedented numbers, but some theories include the loss of flower meadows, varroa mites that eat the bees’ blood, climate change, and the use of pesticides. Thankfully, bees are a long way from becoming extinct. Which is good, because as this list shows, it could be disastrous for humanity.10. Honey Will Disappear Obviously, without bees we would no longer get honey. Humans have been harvesting honey for about 9,000 years.

The color yellow could be attractive to bees. Try painting the yellow parts with red nail color. * If the bees are actually yellow jackets, a kind of wasp, you may be able to reduce the population with yellow jacket traps. * Relocate the feeder: Once hummingbirds find a food source, they will visit it frequently.

Bettas have good eyes for short distances. They have pretty good color vision and see shapes really well. They are, however, a bit near-sighted. Bettas have excellent senses of taste & smell--which in fish are essentially a single sense. In only a second or two from dropping pellets or flakes into their aquarium, the chemicals in the food rapidly diffuse (often aided by a filtration system or bubbler that moves the water) and the Betta detects those chemicals. Most fish have chemical sensors not only in their mouth, like humans, but also on their head and face and, in many species, along the sides of their bodies. Bettas have internal \"\"ears\"\" and can hear things dropped into the aquarium. They have a set of bone structures in their heard that are similar to the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones you have inside your head for hearing.

They will benefit from frozen baby brine shrimp (well thawed) once or twice a day. Fry can eat several times a day, but lots of the food will settle to the bottom and need to be removed. A turkey baster does a good job. In a few weeks, the fry will be big enough to go on an adult diet. When the fish are adults, it's very important to avoid over feeding.

Good things to avoid are related fish like other betta's and gourami (sorority female betta tanks are an exception, still no gourami), nipping fish like large tetra and barbs, aggressive fish like cichlids or anything considered semi aggressive (rams can be an exception), cold water fish or large messy fish like goldies, and fish that have long fins or resemble a betta such as male guppies." }, { "docid": "D1843944#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/betta-fish-come-d6bbb32fe3c6a67a\nWhere Do Betta Fish Come From?", "text": "Pets & Animals Marine Life Fish Q: Where Do Betta Fish Come From?

Have you ever seen clusters of bubbles on the water’s surface in your betta fish tank? These are called bubble nests and they are a completely natural behavior of a betta fish – in fact bubble nests are a good sign that your fish is both healthy and happy. Why do betta fish build bubble nests? It is all to do with the breeding process. In the wild, male bettas cluster small bubbles on the water surface, or underneath floating debris and leaves to build their nests. The male betta will guard its nest and will wait for (or find) a female betta to spawn with. Soon after spawning the female betta fish releases eggs. It is the male betta fish’s job to swiftly capture the eggs in its mouth and place the eggs securely into the bubble nest. Why are the eggs kept in a bubble nest?" }, { "docid": "D224214#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/long-should-water-sit-before-adding-betta-4b1aeaface3623ae\nHow Long Should Water Sit Before Adding a Betta?", "text": "Pets & Animals Pets Aquatic Pets Q: How Long Should Water Sit Before Adding a Betta?

Try supporting local businesses that take good care of their fish instead of big chain pet stores. Local pet store and online bettas usually have better genetics than the ones that come from the fish farms that supply pet store chains. Genes play a large role in betta health.

The pet store gave me veggie pellets but he never ate any of it and it just seemed to become gross and full of bacteria within a few hours so after trying that a couple of times and having to vaccuum it out because it was so gross, I stopped putting that in. I put in some fish flakes once (I have another tank with tetras and guppies) and the snail ate some of ti but so did the betta, and I don't want the betta to eat anything other than the pellets and the occasional blood worms. I read something about dropping in a piece of vegetable - I have green beans so I sliced one up and put it in (just now) to see what happens. Any advice?

what do bifocal glasses do
[ { "docid": "D1168458#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-are-bifocals.htm\nWhat are Bifocals?", "text": "Bifocals are a type of prescription eyeglasses designed for people who need both near and farsighted vision correction. Different from single vision lenses, they have two corrective lenses on each side of a pair of glasses, for a total of four lenses per pair. Many people wear single vision corrective lenses for a number of years until their vision changes and they require bifocals for total vision correction. However, there remains a misconception that only aging people require this type of glasses. While its true that a person’s vision may change with age, requiring a switch from single vision lenses to bifocals, many people suffer from a combination of near and farsightedness long before they realize it. In some cases, bifocals can also help correct astigmatism that is present in combination with other refractive defects. There are a few different types of bifocals, and a licensed optician can help patients with a prescription choose the best kind for their needs. Developments in the engineering of the lenses have been made over the years to eliminate the lines in many corrective bifocals. Progressive lenses, for example, correct vision at different powers depending on where one looks through the lens, but the lines are absent. Though most people who require bifocals have difficulty focusing on objects both up close and far away, they have always been designed with the corrective lens for close range focusing at the bottom and the corrective lens for distance vision at the top." } ]

You may be maturing, but \"\"mature\"\" doesn't have to mean \"\"old.\"\" If you are in your 40s (or older) and are having trouble reading fine print with your glasses, progressive lenses offer a younger-looking appearance and other advantages over the lined bifocal lenses your parents wore. Progressive lenses, sometimes called \"\"no-line bifocals,\"\" eliminate the visible lines of traditional bifocals and trifocals and hide the fact that you need reading glasses. With progressive lenses, no one has to know whether you're wearing glasses just for fashion — or because your arms have \"\"grown too short\"\" for you to see up close. Advantages Of Progressive Lenses Over Bifocals And Trifocals In addition to cosmetic advantages, progressive multifocal lenses provide a more natural correction of presbyopia than bifocal or trifocal prescription eyeglasses. Progressive lenses are line-free multifocals that have a seamless progression of added magnifying power for intermediate and near vision. Instead of having just two or three lens powers like bifocals or trifocals, progressive lenses are true \"\"multifocal\"\" lenses that provide a seamless progression of many lens powers for all viewing distances.

Bifocals & Progressives: The Differences Both bifocals and progressive lenses correct your vision at varying distances. Cheap NFL Jerseys Bifocals focus on two areas of vision – near and far Cheap Jerseys – and these two areas are clearly divided across the lens. The upper portion of the lens is used for viewing objects at a distance, while the lower area is used for reading or viewing things closer at hand. The line between these two areas is usually small (a few millimeters), but will still be noticeable to both you and others. Progressive lenses also provide vision correction at varying distances, but it does so without a clear line between the areas of vision.

A once popular method, keratometry and other procedures generally provide only a qualitative evaluation of the corneal shape. With the introduction of computer assisted topographical analysis, an eye doctor can get quantifiable data and a reasonably accurate visualization of corneal shape.

Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that darken when exposed to ultraviolet rays going from a lens that is virtually clear or has a light shade of color to a dark sunglass like color. What makes photochromic lenses better than other lenses? Photochromic lenses will block out 100% of UV light automatically when going from indoors to outdoors with out needing to change eyewear. They will adjust to the varying light conditions you encounter every day. Who should be recommended to wear photochromic lenses?

Progressive lenses are the most exciting and technologically advanced spectacle lenses available. If you're a 40-something who has trouble reading fine print, you have more lens options than the old lined bifocals your parents wore. Progressive lenses, sometimes called \"\"no-line bifocals,\"\" are multifocal lenses that eliminate the lines of a bifocal or trifocal lens. They look exactly like single vision lenses so nobody will know your arms have gotten too short to see small print!They continue to increase in popularity and are now the most widely purchased lenses to correct presbyopia (the loss of near vision with age). Some people experience problems with progressive lenses when they try to adapt the first time or even to a new pair in a different frame and/or a different optical prescription. See below for causes and solutions to progressive lens problems. Advantages of Progressives vs. Bifocals and Trifocals Progressives provide a more natural correction of presbyopia than bifocals or trifocals. They are considered \"\"multifocals\"\" because there is a seamless progression from distance to near with an intermediate section in between. This provides many focal points in order to satisfy almost any visual need." }, { "docid": "D449455#0", "title": "http://www.mastereyeassociates.com/multifocal-contacts\nMultifocal and Monovision Contacts", "text": "\"Multifocal and Monovision Contacts Multifocal and Monovision Contact Lenses Can Provide Clear Vision at Both Far and Near Distances If you're over 40, beginning to lose your near vision, and would like to function without the use of either bifocal glasses or reading glasses then you may want to start thinking about contact lenses. There are two options for people who need both distance and near vision corrected...multifocal lenses and monovision. Multifocal contact lenses or bifocal contacts are soft, disposable contact lenses which correct distance and near with each eye. They are similar to bifocal glasses because both eyes are corrected for both distances but the design is very different. Monovision means one eye is corrected mainly for distance vision only and the other is corrected mainly for near vision only. This can be done with any type of contact lens on the market, including soft disposables. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method and not everyone is a candidate for both. Multifocal Contact Lenses Multifocal contact lenses come in many different brands and each is designed a little differently. Soft lenses continuously move and rotate on the eye and when the eye moves so does the lens so the design is not like a traditional bifocal with distance on top and near at the bottom. Instead, the lenses are made so that you see through both distance and near at the same time." }, { "docid": "D743945#0", "title": "http://guthrieeyecare.com/icare/why-do-glasses-fail/\niCare Blog", "text": "Most of the time, you can go to the eye doctor and get a pair of glasses without any trouble getting used to the them.

I recently turned 40 and sometimes have trouble focusing on small things close up (such as text messages on my cell phone or restaurant menus). My eye doctor says I may need bifocals. Why did this happen and what can I do to avoid wearing bifocals? Living Well Expert Dr. Jennifer Shu Pediatrician, Children's Medical Group Expert answer Thanks for your question. As we age, many of us notice difficulty reading small items within a meter (or few feet) of our eyes. This issue can become more pronounced after the age of 40, when the lenses of the eyes become progressively less flexible and have trouble accommodating to focus on objects at different distances. I consulted with Dr. Ravi D. Goel, a comprehensive ophthalmologist in Cherry Hill, N.

This condition, called presbyopia, is due to the lens of the eye losing its flexibility to focus, particularly on near objects. There are a number of treatment methods available. In many cases, if farsighted vision is good, a pair of reading glasses is all that is required for close work and they can even be worn over regular contact lenses. Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses are another option. These have multiple zones on the lenses to correct vision for multiple distances. You can also be fitted for different contact lens focus in each eye, a technique called monovision. How monovision works Monovision works by fitting one eye with a lens to correct distance vision (if required) and the other eye to correct near vision. ( The lens for distance is usually worn in the dominant eye. ) The eye which sees distant objects clearly will see close objects slightly blurred and distant objects will appear blurry to the near vision eye." }, { "docid": "D490246#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070621094209AAgvAL8\nAm I too old for Lasik surgery?", "text": "\"Health Optical Am I too old for Lasik surgery?

I was sick of my glasses and contacts too!! I honestly do not believe there are any true age factors, other than the fact that even those people with 20/20 vision their entire lives may end up in reading glasses...and knowing full well that I will probably end up in reading glasses in a few years was of minimal consideration to me when I was making my decision. I would suggest researching the different procedures and also look up the monovision aspect of LASIK/PRK. This is where they correct one eye for distance and the other for near. In the literature my PRK surgeon gave me, he suggested considering this option if you are over the age of 40. His literature also stated that it can take some getting used to, but if someone is having too difficult of a time, he would be more than happy to correct the other eye to match, and then suggest reading glasses for up-close work." }, { "docid": "D3014369#0", "title": "http://www.cheapglasses123.com/sport-glasses\n.", "text": "Sports Glasses Cheapglasses123.com is the world's leading Sports Glasses and prescription eyeglasses store, featuring brand name Sports Glasses at discount prices.

There are actually quite a few causes, some of which are controllable, others that are not. The pupil is an opening that permits light to penetrate your eyes. When you have big pupils this means that your eyes are dilated, allowing more light to enter. You can actually test this theory by standing in front of a mirror in a dark room. When you turn the light on, you will notice your pupils decrease in size. Therefore, if you come in from outside or from a bright location, into a room with very dim lighting, you will end up with big pupils. Drugs It is quite easy to notice someone on drugs by the size of their pupils. Illegal substances and stimulants such as cocaine, mescaline, peyote, methamphetamine, mushrooms, LSD, marijuana and ecstasy will all leave you with some pretty big pupils. Your central nervous system is excited by these drugs and mixed signals are sent to your brain." } ]

In order to understand multiplication, pupils have to memorise the multiplication rhyme: “four times eight is 32, five times eight is 40” and so on, which was invented by ancient Chinese scholars 2,200 years ago. Stemming from this tradition, most classrooms have few concrete teaching materials for maths lessons.

Eagle eyes are the same size (weight) as human eyes (though a full grown adult Bald Eagle weighs no more than about 14 pounds!) But an eagle eye has a much different shape from ours. The back is flatter and larger than the back of our eye, giving an eagle a much larger image than we can see. And its retina has much more concentrated rod and cone cells-the cells that send sight information to the brain." }, { "docid": "D330614#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/If_your_pupils_are_tiny_does_it_mean_your_on_drugs\nIf your pupils are tiny does it mean your on drugs?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Pain Pain Management If your pupils are tiny does it mean your on drugs?

If you are in very bright lighting, your pupils will constrict to limit the amount of light allowed to enter your eye. This protects the retina from damage. Likewise, in very low light levels, your pupils will dilate (enlarge) in order to allow more light into the eye and improve vision. This is a normal process. However, there are a number of drugs that will cause the pupils to constrict, even to the point where they have a \"\"pin-point\"\" appearance. Opioid drugs (drugs derived from the poppy plant) such as opium, heroin, etc., will cause this pupillary constriction to the point of looking pin-point, even if exposed to low lighting levels." }, { "docid": "D1250303#0", "title": "http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-equipment/choosing-your-telescopes-magnification/\nHow to Choose Your Telescope Magnification", "text": "\"How to Choose Your Telescope Magnification By: Al Nagler | July 17, 2006The complete observing experience involves several impediments that lie between the starry heavens and the view we have of them.

The answers depend on many factors that combine to give each telescope a useful magnification range. This range is not fixed, however, and depends on the nature of eyesight, the telescope's aperture and optical design, atmospheric conditions, and even the type and size of the object looked at. Consider the complete viewing experience: starlight passes through the atmosphere, through the telescope, and finally into your eyes.

Strangely its not actualy an effect of the drug, more of a side effect of the state your body goes into under the influence. But thats not quite what you asked. If your worried about people seeing that you've taken it, do NOT take it, acid is not a drug that you can have a good time on if your worried. And no there isnt really any way to make them small, well I guess you could take an opiate as well but not really advisable. Acid can last anywhere between 6 and 12 hours depending on the person and the dose taken, I'd say a normal 100-150mcg dose would last somewhere in the region of 7 hours till your back to base line.

New telescope users often assume that more magnification gives a better view. They quickly learn that this is rarely true, and that on the contrary, lower power almost always yields a better image. Check out the Magnification Calculator to determine the power of any eyepiece/telescope combination. Why Higher Power Is Not Always Better There are several reasons why increasing magnification might not be preferable. The usual assumption by new astronomers is that since we are trying to observe objects that are very far away, we want to magnify them quite a bit to bring them in closer. But most objects in the night sky, despite being very far away, appear very large. For example, the Orion Nebula appears more than twice the size of the full moon, and the Andromeda Galaxy appears six times larger. Even though Andromeda is 70 trillion times farther away than the moon, it is also 420 trillion times bigger!

All cats have vertical pupils because they are nocturnal, but different breeds have different shaped eyes. So, when a cat's pupils dilate, it may seem as though they have rounder eyes. Cats pupils will dilate for different reasons. Obviously pupils react to light, but they will also dilate when something of interest comes into view, like while they are hunting or about to pounce on a toy. They will also dilate if they are scared or surprised. As the pupils get larger more light, and essentially, more visual information is available to ensure an accurate attack." }, { "docid": "D1700942#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090213162735AAON2S9\nWhat does dilated pupils mean?", "text": "Health Other - Health What does dilated pupils mean?if someone has dilated pupils what does it mean? thanks. Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The pupils are the opening in your eyes that let light in. The iris controls the size of the pupil opening. Dilation means the pupil opening is large to let in alot of light. This occurs normally in dim or dark environments because your eyes are trying to see in the dark and need to be dilated to allow as much light in as possible to see. In bright light the pupils are small to prevent too much light in which can damage your eyes. Dilated pupils can also occur from drugs, when you are dead or possibly in a coma.

Birds learn to communicate with us through sounds, behavior and actions. Using their body language and vocalizations they can \"\"tell\"\" us when they are happy, content, frightened, sick, hungry, tired, angry, or ready to be held and cuddled. The ability to communicate is a vital element in any relationship, and it is of utmost importance that bird owners learn to interpret the meanings of their birds sounds and behaviors in order to successfully tame, train, and provide them with the very best of care. While the actions of one particular bird or species do not necessarily mimic the meaning of the same action in all other birds, we have found there to be a general similarity in the actions and meaning of some basic avian behaviors. If your bird exhibits any of the following behaviors, try to ascertain exactly what your feathered friend is trying to tell you, and respond (or refrain from responding) accordingly. Flashing/Dilating Pupils Flashing, dilating pupils can be a sign of aggression, excitement, nervousness, or pleasure. Pay close attention to other behaviors that accompany flashing/\"\"pinning\"\" pupils in order to correctly ascertain the reason for this particular behavior.

To \"\"dilate the pupils\"\" means to make the pupils bigger. The pupils are the little black dots in the center of the front of the eyes. The pupils act as windows to the eyes regulating the amount of incoming light. Why Dilate the Pupils? - Dilating the pupils permits us to do two things: (1) Better see the structures inside the eye such as the lens, vitreous, optic nerve and retina, and to (2) Perform a refraction.

A refraction determines whether and how much the eyes are hyperopic (farsighted) or myopic (nearsighted) with or without astigmatism." }, { "docid": "D611354#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/if-your-pupils-are-big-what-does-that-mean\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: If Your Pupils Are Big What Does That Mean", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: If Your Pupils Are Big What Does That Mean Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Richard Bensinger1 I have really big pupils and I don't understand why.

Flag How does bile help in digestion? Answer by Diberri Confidence votes 4.1KBile is an important player in the digestive system largely because it helps to digest fats. In the gut, fats exist as relatively large globs that cannot be absorbed. To prepare fats for absorption, they must first be broken down into their component parts. An enzyme called lipase (\"\"lip-\"\", fat; \"\"-ase\"\", break down) is capable of breaking down the large fat globs. However, lipase acting by itself would be very inefficient because these large fat globs have a very low surface area-to-volume ratio. This means that the globs have a lot of fat in them, but not much surface for lipase to work on. Lipase can only act efficiently on fat globs with high surface area-to-volume ratios.

The liver produces bile and stores it in the gallbladder until digestion. When the gallbladder is removed, there is no longer a place for bile to be stored. In these patients, the bile enters the intestines directly and the liver makes much more of it than usual. The excess amounts of bile salts overwhelm the intestines and diarrhea is the result. Fiber Bile salts diarrhea can be a disturbing problem for many people. Some people with this condition are afraid to go too far from home to eat and may even avoid eating out altogether.

Remember also that along with the chemical cleaving of the covalent bonds holding these molecules together by the lipases, these molecules are also separated apart from each other by bile from the gall bladder and liver. This separation of molecules that would normally clump together in the watery environment of the intestine is called emulsification. After the lipase is done cleaving apart a triglyceride, some of the triglyceride is only cleaved twice, leaving two free fatty acid chains (tails) and the monoglyceride still intact. Some triglyceride is completed cleaved apart (hydrolysed) into three free fatty acids and glycerol.

What is the gallbladder? The gallbladder (gall bladder) is a sac that sits in the right upper abdomen, just below the liver, and stores bile (gall) produced by the liver. Bile is made up of water, cholesterol, bile salts, fats, proteins and bilirubin (a yellowish-brown pigment). If the liquid bile contains too much cholesterol or bilirubin, it can harden into gallstones. Most people with gallstones don’t even know that they have them.

The bile is made in the liver by liver cells and is sent through tiny ducts or canals to the duodenum (small intestine) and to the gallbladder. The function of the gallbladder is to store the bile to have it available in larger quantities for secretion when a meal is eaten. The ingestion of food and especially fats cause the release of a hormone, cholecystokinin, (CCK) which in turn signals the relaxation of the valve at the end of the common bile duct (the sphincter of Oddi) which lets the bile enter the small intestine. It also signals the contraction of the gallbladder which squirts the concentrated liquid bile into the small intestine where it helps with the emulsification or breakdown of fats in the meal. WH ERE IS THE GALLBLADDERMany people do not know wh e re the gallbladder is located until it screams at them. Then they never forget.

For some, like me, however, we have the opposite issue: constipation. This has something to do with the liver producing less and less bile, and the gallbladder performing less and less. Usually the gallbladder dumps when fat is detected in the meal. However, if you got suckered into the high-carb fad of the 90's then you probably ate very little fat. Without much fat in your diet the gallbladder doesn't exercise and dump as much. This leaves it full of bile that stagnates into stones.

Such a gallbladder contraction might give rise to pain as well. Gallstones are small hard deposits that form in the gallbladder and can cause many problems.

Biological immortality (sometimes referred to bio-indefinite mortality) is a state in which the rate of mortality from senescence is stable or decreasing, thus decoupling it from chronological age. Various unicellular and multicellular species, including some vertebrates [ citation needed], achieve this state either throughout their existence or after living long enough. A biologically immortal living being can still die from means other than senescence, such as through injury or disease. This definition of immortality has been challenged in the Handbook of the Biology of Aging, [1] because the increase in rate of mortality as a function of chronological age may be negligible at extremely old ages, an idea referred to as the late-life mortality plateau. The rate of mortality may cease to increase in old age, but in most cases that rate is typically very high. [ 2] As a hypothetical example, there is only a 50% chance of a human surviving another year at age 110 or greater.

Scientists have not unanimously settled on a precise definition of nanomaterials, but agree that they are partially characterized by their tiny size, measured in nanometers. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter - approximately 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Nano-sized particles exist in nature and can be created from a variety of products, such as carbon or minerals like silver, but nanomaterials by definition must have at least one dimension that is less than approximately 100 nanometers. Most nanoscale materials are too small to be seen with the naked eye and even with conventional lab microscopes. Materials engineered to such a small scale are often referred to as engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), which can take on unique optical, magnetic, electrical, and other properties. These emergent properties have the potential for great impacts in electronics, medicine, and other fields. For example,Nanotechnology can be used to design pharmaceuticals that can target specific organs or cells in the body such as cancer cells, and enhance the effectiveness of therapy. Nanomaterials can also be added to cement, cloth and other materials to make them stronger and yet lighter." }, { "docid": "D1786530#0", "title": "http://www.degreequery.com/what-degree-do-i-need-to-be-a-genetic-engineer/\nWhat degree do I need to be a Genetic Engineer?", "text": "What degree do I need to be a Genetic Engineer? Terry Robinson | March 23, 2015IMAGE SOURCEOverview Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). The first GMOs were bacteria in 1973 and GM mice were generated in 1974. Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and micro organisms. Medicine: Genetic engineering has been used to mass-produce insulin, human growth hormones, follistism (for treating infertility), human albumin, monoclonal antibodies, antihemophilic factors, vaccines and many other drugs. Research: Genetic engineering is an important tool for natural scientists.

Defining the concept This exciting field is evolving so rapidly that no widely accepted definitions exist. Common to many explanations is the idea of synthetic biology as the application of engineering principles to the fundamental components of biology.

These instructions are encoded in the organisms's DNA -- long and complex strings of molecules embedded in every living cell. This is an organism's genetic code (or \"\"genome\"\"). Humans have been altering the genetic code of plants and animals for millennia, by selectively breeding individuals with desirable features. As biotechnologists have learned more about how to read and manipulate this code, they have begun to take genetic information associated with useful features from one organism, and add it into another one. This is the basis of genetic engineering, and has allowed researchers to speed up the process of developing new breeds of plants and animals.

In 1910, American historian Henry Adams printed and distributed to university libraries and history professors the small volume A Letter to American Teachers of History proposing a theory of history based on the second law of thermodynamics and on the principle of entropy. [ 1] [2] The 1944 book What is Life? by Nobel -laureate physicist Erwin Schrödinger stimulated research in the field. In his book, Schrödinger originally stated that life feeds on negative entropy, or negentropy as it is sometimes called, but in a later edition corrected himself in response to complaints and stated the true source is free energy. More recent work has restricted the discussion to Gibbs free energy because biological processes on Earth normally occur at a constant temperature and pressure, such as in the atmosphere or at the bottom of an ocean, but not across both over short periods of time for individual organisms.

[ citation needed] Building on this, one of the first to speculate on a possible thermodynamic perspective of evolution was the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. In 1875, building on the works of Clausius and Kelvin, Boltzmann reasoned: The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials – these, for organisms, are air, water and soil, all abundantly available – nor for energy which exists in plenty in any body in the form of heat, but a struggle for [negative] entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth. [ 3]Early views [ edit]In 1876, American civil engineer Richard Sears Mc Culloh, in his Treatise on the Mechanical Theory of Heat and its Application to the Steam-Engine, which was an early thermodynamics textbook, states, after speaking about the laws of the physical world, that \"\"there are none that are established on a firmer basis than the two general propositions of Joule and Carnot; which constitute the fundamental laws of our subject.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D3372503#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/document/345136128/Biotechnology-Definition\n\"The wide concept of \"\"biotech\"\" or \"\"biotechnology\"\" encompasses a wide range of procedures for\"", "text": "\"The wide concept of \"\"biotech\"\" or \"\"biotechnology\"\" encompasses a wide range of procedures formodifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of the plants, and \"\"improvements\"\" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. The American Chemical Society defines biotechnology as the application of biological organisms, systems, or processes by various industries to learning about the science of life and the improvement of the value of materials and organisms such as pharmaceuticals, crops, and livestock. [ 3] As per European Federation of Biotechnology, biotechnology is the integration of natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof, and molecular analogues for products and services. [ 4] Biotechnology also writes on the pure biological sciences (animal cell culture, biochemistry, cell biology, embryology, genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology). In many instances, it is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology including: bioinformatics, a new brand of computer science bioprocess engineering biorobotics chemical engineering Conversely, modern biological sciences (including even concepts such as molecular ecology) are intimately entwined and heavily dependent on the methods developed through biotechnology and what is commonly thought of as the life sciences industry. Biotechnology is the research and development in the laboratory using bioinformatics for exploration, extraction, exploitation and production from any living organisms and any source of biomass by means of biochemical engineering where high value-added products could be planned (reproduced by biosynthesis, for example), forecasted, formulated, developed, manufactured, and marketed for the purpose of sustainable operations (for the return from bottomless initial investment on R & D) and gaining durable patents rights (for exclusives rights for sales, and prior to this to receive national and international approval from the results on animal experiment and human experiment, especially on the pharmaceutical branch of biotechnology to prevent any undetected side-effects or safety concerns by using the products). [ 5] [6] [7] By contrast, bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field that more heavily emphasizes higher systems approaches (not necessarily the altering or using of biological materials directly) for interfacing with and utilizing living things. Bioengineering is the application of the principles of engineering and natural sciences to tissues, cells and molecules. This can be considered as the use of knowledge from working with and manipulating biology to achieve a result that can improve functions in plants and animals.

We could say that creating superconductive materials, along with developing thermonuclear energy is the dream and the philosopher’s stone of the 21st century. Success in this venture would eliminate the necessity to “pay” for using this most convenient type of energy, because it would prevent large energy losses during energy generation, conversion, and transportation that we have to deal with today. An indirect benefit of studying superconductors would be the reduction of our carbon footprint and pollution caused by burning fossil fuels, and the impact on the environment in general. Besides, using superconductors in the industry and in transportation would revolutionize technology, with benefits for the entire human population. If we use superconductors, we can reduce the size while simultaneously increasing the power of all electrical devices and mechanisms such as generators, transformers, and motors. In addition, using superconductive electromagnets would help us solve the problem of thermonuclear energy synthesis. If we could do that, we would be able to make high speed trains that travel much faster than the trains we currently have. As you can see, the interest of researchers and engineers across the globe in superconductivity is obvious." } ]

It might represent the sun which dies every night and is reborn the next morning. Among classical writers, it may represent those existing in paradise and enjoying eternal youth. Among Christians, it can represent rebirth after death. To many a Phoenix may represent a new beginning, that no matter how bad (hot) things may get you will get back up on your feet (rise out of the ashes). The Phoenix always rises from its own ashes. It can be a metaphor for always picking yourself up when you are down. The name of this mythical bird comes from Greek, meaning red, purple. Corresponding with this Greek myth, Phoenix is an oracular bird, which can periodically burn up and then regenerate from it's own ashes. It's the symbol of immortality by resurrection." }, { "docid": "D393067#0", "title": "http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1998/2/98.02.05.x.html\nUniversal Myths and Symbols: Animal Creatures and Creation", "text": "When you are finished viewing curriculum units on this Web site, please take a few minutes to provide feedback and help us understand how these units, which were created by public school teachers, are useful to others.

Myths affect us in many ways, from the language we use to how we tell time; mythology is an integral presence. The influence mythology has in our most basic traditions can be observed in the language, customs, rituals, values and morals of every culture, yet the limited extent of our knowledge of mythology is apparent. In general we have today a poor understanding of the significance of myths in our lives. One way of studying a culture is to study the underlying mythological beliefs of that culture, the time period of the origins of the culture’s myths, the role of myth in society, the symbols used to represent myths, the commonalties and differences regarding mythology, and the understanding a culture has of its myths. Such an exploration leads to a greater understanding of the essence of a culture. As an elementary school teacher I explore the role that mythology plays in our lives and the role that human beings play in the world of mythology. My objective is to bring to my students’ attention stories that explore the origins of the universe and the origins of human kind, and to encourage them to consider the commonalties and differences in the symbols represented in cross-cultural universal images of the creation of the world. I begin this account of my unit by clarifying the differences between myth, folklore, and legend, since they have been at times interchangeably and wrongly used." }, { "docid": "D943129#0", "title": "http://www.signology.org/bird-symbol/bald-eagle-symbol.htm\nBald Eagle Symbol", "text": "\"Bald Eagle Symbol Bald Eagle Symbol: Seeing an eagle in your dream is a symbol of nobility, pride, fierceness, freedom, superiority, courage, and powerful intellectual ability.

The two characters, John and Minnie Wright, are the focus of the story. The name Minnie has significant symbolism. Minnie is derived from mini or minimized, which was very descriptive of her oppressed relationship with John and also the male insensitivity toward most women in society. Women taking their husband’s last names is also very significant in the story. The role that society has cast upon them is defined by their husbands.

Moreman California State University, East Bay [email protected] Abstract Birds have an ambiguous symbolic significance across cultures throughout human his- tory, ubiquitously relating to both life and death. Birds are routinely seen as portents of impending calamity and death, while they are also often thought to bear or steal spirits of the dead, sometimes even embodying those very spirits themselves. On the other hand, birds are also commonly associated with life, fertility, and longevity. This paper brings together cross-cultural evidence for the practically universal associations between birds and both life and death. This paper offers an explanation for this associa- tion as an expression of the deep-seated human ambivalence to mortality. As a form of Jungian archetype, birds reflect a fundamental aspect of human nature—the denial of death as finality through a desire for renewal, transformation, and rebirth.

This religious-cultural symbol was adapted by the Pahlavi dynasty to represent the Iranian nation. The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the \"\"winged sun\"\" hieroglyph appearing on Bronze Age royal seals (Luwian SOL SUUS, symbolizing royal power in particular). In Neo-Assyrian times, a human bust is added to the disk, the \"\"feather-robed archer\"\" interpreted as symbolizing Ashur. While the symbol is currently thought to represent a Fravashi (c. a guardian angel) and from which it derives its name, what it represented in the minds of those who adapted it from earlier Mesopotamian and Egyptian reliefs is unclear. Because the symbol first appears on royal inscriptions, it is also thought to represent the 'Divine Royal Glory' (khvarenah), or the Fravashi of the king, or represented the divine mandate that was the foundation of a king's authority. This relationship between the name of the symbol and the class of divine entities it represents, reflects the current belief that the symbol represents a Fravashi. However, there is no physical description of the Fravashi is in the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, and in Avestan the entities are grammatically feminine. In present-day Zoroastrianism, the faravahar is said to be a reminder of one's purpose in life, which is to live in such a way that the soul progresses towards frasho-kereti, or union with Ahura Mazda, the supreme divinity in Zoroastrianism." }, { "docid": "D264541#0", "title": "http://www.greatdreams.com/animals.htm\n.", "text": "\"ANIMALS, BIRDS, INSECTS ANDREPTILES AND THEIR MEANINGSAARDVARK - a tendency to hide from problems ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN - denotes spiritual truths that are not easily accepted ALLIGATOR - spiritual aspects that are self-serving, can denotes a person who attacks out of nowhere, people who lie in wait and then attack, a person with vicious speech which is destructive ANT - denotes cooperation with others APE - cautions against loss of individuality, pretending to be someone who you are not, aping someone, being a copycat instead of your true self.

These imposing lines, which extend for hundreds of meters, and monumental images of birds, spiders, monkeys, fish, flowers or rosettes and other natural forms are best seen by eyes that are high above them in the sky. It is in fact very difficult, indeed in most cases quite impossible, to properly view these extensive lines and prodigious geoglyphs from ground level. Modern archaeologists only rediscovered these ancient geoglyphs after commercial pilots who had flown over them in the late 1930’s reported their existence. What phenomenon could possibly have inspired the ancient Nazca Indians to create these tremendous works of art, most of which are invisible to human eyes that are not airborne? Numerous, and quite diverse, theories have been advanced in an effort to explain the reason for the construction of these gigantic lines and geoglyphs. These theories range from the comparatively conservative theories of modern archaeologists to Erik von Daniken ’s original, but highly controversial, proposal that the lines of Nazca were landing strips for ancient visitors from outer space while the geoglyphs served as signals to these space alien ‘gods’. Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, it is this latter ‘hypothesis’ that was in fact quite instrumental in bringing the existence of the mysterious Nazca Lines to widespread public attention. One theorist even proposed that the Nazca Indians were able to construct primitive hot air balloons from which they could observe the lines and animal figures." }, { "docid": "D243465#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101223182455AAhZiGn\nWhat do feathers symbolize?", "text": "\"Society & Culture Mythology & Folklore What do feathers symbolize?

It is noticed frequently at birth then gradually resolves by four months of age. When a newborn starts sucking on his fingers or fists, does this mean that he is hungry and I should feed him?

While healthy skin is based on many different factors, the actual appearance is usually the first characteristic that people look to. When skin looks smooth and the complexion is even and bright, skin appears healthy. However, dealing with skin discoloration is a common frustration for those who want healthy skin and in some cases, it can be a common sign of an underlying problem. The causes of Skin discoloration vary depending on factors like age, the appearance of the skin discoloration, and even the location. And depending on what’s causing your skin discoloration, treatment options will vary as well. What Causes Skin Discoloration To begin to understand skin discoloration, it’s best to start with the pigment that is responsible for all skin color: melanin. Each and every person’s skin produces melanin which is the substance that gives our skin its pigmentation. This substance lives on the epidermis, the surface level of our skin, and is what gives each of us our unique skin tone. People with darker complexions produce higher levels of melanin while people with lighter complexions produce lower levels of melanin." }, { "docid": "D954677#0", "title": "http://www.sparknotes.com/short-stories/the-birthmark/section1.rhtml\nThe Birthmark", "text": "Foreshadowing<< Prev Section Next Section >>“The Birthmark” is rife with the kind of foreshadowing that may strike modern readers as heavy-handed.

Over and over, we see that Aylmer’s experiments usually go awry and have destructive, unintended consequences. Georgiana’s death, therefore, comes as no surprise to the attentive reader. In fact, some modern readers may feel disappointed that the final scene of the story adheres so closely to what has been foreshadowed and contains so little that is surprising. If we are not shocked, however, neither is Georgiana, who serves as a stand-in for us, a reader of the events around her. Georgiana overhears Aylmer muttering in his sleep, realizes what he’s dreaming about, and presses him to recall the dream the next morning. She interprets it correctly, firmly believing that the birthmark’s removal may lead to her death. She analyzes the incidents of the past such as the broken flower and disfigured plate, and reads Aylmer’s journals as catalogues of his failures. In this light, the lack of surprise at the end of the story emphasizes Georgiana’s bravery: like us, she knew exactly what would probably happen, but she submitted to her husband’s experiment to make him happy." } ]

Bears belong to the Carnivora order of mammals whose members consume meat; some other carnivores including skunks, raccoons, cats, weasels, and dogs. Bears are the mammals that are predominantly omnivorous of the carnivores, consuming several vegetables and foods apart from flesh. The feeding habits of bears help us in determining almost anything about these species such as their shape, skeleton, size, musculature, paws and claws. These bears are more readily found in forests, swamps, and mountains; besides, they are excellent tree climbers. Black bears are not entirely black rather they display blue-black, blue-gray, and cinnamon color. They can be as heavier as 200 – 600 lbs (90 – 270 kg), with the length measuring at 5 – 6 feet.

However, because young, smaller males are similar in size to adult females, it is difficult to determine the sex of a bear by their size alone. Many of us recognize that white-tailed deer body size is reduced as you travel south in North America. This difference is explained by Bergmann’s Rule, which basically states species of larger size are found in colder environments, and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions. Bears as a Family follow this principle – arctic male polar bears generally weigh 779 to 1500 pounds, while male sun bears only weigh 100 to 140 pounds and live in equatorial regions. Black bears as a Species do not follow Bergmann’s Rule, Florida black bears on average tend to be larger than Canadian black bears, for example. Average weights for adult bears in Florida range from 250 to 450 pounds for males and 125 to 250 pounds for females.

The history of gummy bears If you read our post about Haribo gummies, you know that Hans Riegel, founder of Haribo, created the original gummy bear. It wasn’t the first gelatin-based candy on the market, but it certainly made an impact.

As one of the most adaptable and versatile mammals on earth, their behaviour stirs fear, awe, wonder, and curiosity in us. Unfortunately, there are still many myths surrounding the lives and behaviour of bears that negatively impact our relationships with them. Stories of ferocious attacks by blood-thirsty bears on defenceless hikers make great lead stories in the media. The overwhelming sense conveyed in these stories is that bears are dangerous, mean creatures that are an extreme threat to people in any circumstance. This, of course, is inaccurate at best and unhelpful at worst. Another commonly held myth is that bears are cuddly creatures that resemble the teddy bears we owned as kids. While there is no doubt that bears have the power to trigger children’s imaginations, it is important that the stories we share with our children be based on facts rather than fantasy. It is important to dispel both myths – the one based on fear, and the other based on a misplaced belief that bears are tame cuddly animals." }, { "docid": "D2659778#0", "title": "http://www.cookforest.com/articles/livingwithblackbears/blackbears2.cfm\n.", "text": "Page 1 2 3Feeding Habits Bears may be on the move at anytime, but they're usually most active at night or during early morning. Bears are omnivorous, eating almost anything from berries, corn, acorns, beechnuts, or even grass to table scraps, carrion, honey and insects. During late summer and fall, black bears fatten up for winter hibernation. At this time, they may actively feed for up to 20 hours a day, ingesting up to 20,000 calories. Bears and Winter Bears are usually dormant in winter, remaining in their dens, which are usually rock caverns, excavated holes beneath shrubs, trees or dead falls, in hollow trees or brushy thickets. A hibernating bear's heart rate and breathing slow and its body temperature drops slightly. During this time, they do not eat or drink, or pass body wastes. A hibernating bear relies on stored fat to make it through winter. On warm winter days, however, bears may emerge to look for food.

Bears are omnivores, and take advantage of whatever is easily accessible and available to them. This, of course, changes with every season. In general, less than ten percent of a bear’s diet consists of meat. Some years, a fawn may be taken in early spring, forest tent caterpillars may be eaten with relish and occasionally carrion is consumed, but most of a bear’s protein intake consists of the larvae and pupae of social insects, including ants, wasps and bees. The other ninety percent consists of the vegetation that is available at different times of the year. Spring is very challenging for bears. When they emerge from their dens in April, they may have lost up to twenty percent or more of their weight over the winter. They are ravenous at a time when there is very little vegetation, the mainstay of their diet. Wetland plants such as swamp thistle are a primary source of food in early spring." }, { "docid": "D822830#0", "title": "http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=296\nAlaska Fish & Wildlife News June 2007", "text": "Alaska Fish & Wildlife News June 2007Bear Milk By Riley Woodford At birth a brown bear cub weighs about a pound and a half or two pounds, and when they emerge from the den about four months later the cubs average about 11 or 12 pounds.

For mammals, that’s mother’s milk. Bear cubs are getting some of the richest milk of all, and given bears’ unusual gestation, they’ve been nursing since almost before they were born. When it comes to pregnancy, giving birth and nursing, bears are remarkable. Wildlife biologist Sean Farley has raised bear cubs and studied their needs – and their mothers’ ability to satisfy those needs. He’s actually milked bears, measured milk production and milk intake by nursing bears, and identified how the nutritional compostion of milk changes during the cub’s first year. Bear cubs are born in winter and the mother bear nurses them as they are hibernating. “That she can lactate while not eating or drinking is pretty phenomenal – nobody else does that,” Farley said. “" } ]

When you've picked (or bought) a selection of ripe, juicy blackberries, give them a gentle (but thorough) washing. Pour the berries into a colander and run cool water over them while you gently shake them or sift through them with your fingers. Allow to drain well and gently pat dry with a soft towel to remove excess moisture. As you wash and dry your berries, take the opportunity to remove any rotten, under-ripe, or damaged berries. You'll also want to remove any leaf litter, dirt, or other debris.2 Spread the blackberries on a baking tray. Line a metal pan or tray with parchment paper and spread your blackberries out on it so that none are touching each other. Do not forget the parchment paper -- without it, the berries will freeze to the pan and can break up when you try to remove them. If you have too many blackberries to give each their own space on your baking tray, it's alright to simply pour them all over the tray.

When you shop it’s easy to pick the veggies and herbs as they are all edible. The same thing when you go to the drugstore and you need to treat an injury. Some wild plants have adapted to very limited, unusual environments, exceptional soil conditions or very harsh climates. Although some types of plants for these reasons exist only within a very limited range (endemism), others can live in diverse areas or by adaptation to different environments. But all the bellow mentioned plants can be found on US territory. Maybe some of you have already used one or two.

In general, rats produce about seven offspring per litter and can reach up to 14 at times. Typical gestation periods last only a few weeks, allowing each female rat to produce around five litters a year. Life Expectancy From birth to adult, rats take about three weeks to mature and begin fending for themselves. The rodents reach sexual maturity in about five weeks and begin mating soon after to produce the next generation to start the rat life cycle over again. Life expectancy for rats is about two to three years. However, many rats die after the first year due to predation and interspecies conflict. Control & Removal Building tenants and owners should act quickly at the first sign of rat infestation. Leaving the problem on the backburner only contributes to health hazards and property damage.

Blackbird Ypsilantian job printing house, 1887 - Ojibwa Indians - 128 pages0 Reviews Blackbird (Mack-e-te-be-nessy) was an Ottawa chief's son who served as an official interpreter for the U. S. government and later as a postmaster while remaining active in Native American affairs as a teacher, advisor on diplomatic issues, lecturer and temperance advocate. In this work he describes how he became knowledgeable about both Native American and white cultural traditions and chronicles his struggles to achieve two years of higher education at the Ypsilanti State Normal School. He also deals with the history of many native peoples throughout the Michigan region (especially the Mackinac Straits), combining information on political, military, and diplomatic matters with legends, personal reminiscences, and a discussion of comparative beliefs and values, and offering insights into the ways that increasing contact between Indians and whites were changing native lifeways. He especially emphasizes traditional hunting, fishing, sugaring, and trapping practices and the seasonal tasks of daily living. Ottawa traditions, according to the author, recall their earlier home on Canada's Ottawa River and how they were deliberately infected by smallpox by the English Canadians after allying themselves with the French. Blackbird finds Biblical parallels with Ottawa and Chippewa accounts of a great flood and a fish which ingests and expels a celebrated prophet. He includes his own oratorical \"\"Lamentation\"\" on white treatment of the Ottawas, twenty-one moral commandments of the Ottawa and Chippewa, the Ten Commandments and other religious material in the Ottawa and Chippewa language, and a grammar of that language. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft appears in the narrative in his role as an Indian agent. More »Preview this book »What people are saying - Write a review We haven't found any reviews in the usual places.

See how you can encourage birds to your gardens, know what to feed them during those cold winter months. This past winter was particularly cold in some countries, and although the wildlife and birds will survive without your intervention, by putting food out for the birds in the wild will encourage them to visit you on a more regular basis. Half the fun in encouraging wild birds to your garden of homestead is that you never know what variety of bird will visit next. There are some drawbacks and disadvantages to feeding wild birds that you should be aware of before you start. The first one being that if you have cats, or there are cats in the neighborhood make sure that you are not indirectly feeding the cats. If you find that you are, it is best that you don't feed the birds, or you modify your nets and bird feeders so that they are not accessible to cats. The other problem you may encounter is that if there is a lot of grain lying around you may also encourage rats. Placing a PVC sleeve over any stake you may have used where you hang your feeders from will make it too slippery for either cats or rats to access.

They frequently forage for food in their natural habitat, residential areas, and even inside homes and other buildings. In the wild, raccoons eat large prey, like birds and other mammals, but prefer to stick to easier meals where they are available. Some of their favorite foods include nuts, berries, insects, and eggs. When they set up their denning sites near bodies of water, raccoons habitually catch fish, shellfish, reptiles, and amphibians. Raccoons & Garbage Raccoons that invade homes and lawns typically target trash cans and forage for leftovers. The animals are actually notorious for picking through garbage bins and landfills, making messes and earning their status as pests. If food is scarce or homeowners have used tight-fitting lids on trash bins to combat raccoon infestations, the critters may break into homes in search of easy-to-reach pet and human foods.

It received its name from the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore. Observations of interbreeding between the Baltimore oriole and the western Bullock's oriole, Icterus bullockii, led to both being classified as a single species, called the northern oriole, from 1973 to 1995. Research by James Rising, a professor of zoology at the University of Toronto, and others showed that the two birds actually did not interbreed significantly.

Photo ©Dawn/Flickr/CC by 2.0Birdseed is the most popular type of food to offer backyard birds, but there are many types of birdseed and not all of them appeal to all backyard birds. Understanding how to choose the best birdseed can help you offer the most desirable foods to your local birds, which can attract even more species to your feeders. Choosing Seed With the Birds in Mind The biggest bird-feeding mistake many novice backyard birders make is choosing birdseed for birds they hope to attract, not the birds already in their yard. Birds are gregarious, social creatures, and they will readily investigate any area of feeding activity. If you only have a few birds already in your yard, it is best to choose seed for those species first – as they get more active feeding in your yard, other species will join in to see what offerings are at the buffet. Then you can add new types of birdseed and new feeders, gradually building up to a full-service birdseed restaurant. Different birds have different birdseed preferences depending on their bill shape and nutritional needs. The most popular seeds and the birds that prefer them include: Sunflower Seeds: All types of sunflower seeds are excellent for backyard birds, and this seed is the best choice for beginning bird feeding in a variety of feeder styles. Black oil sunflower seeds are the most common and are great for most songbirds, while the larger striped sunflower seeds are suitable for larger birds with stronger bills." }, { "docid": "D2962606#0", "title": "http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/wildlife/f/14005/t/102653.aspx\nRegister Sign inCommunityRSPB HOME COMMUNITY HOME WILDLIFE PLACES TO VISIT GET INVOLVED OUR WORK CHAT ABOUT", "text": "\"What do bullfinches eat ?

Go to: Abstract Background Gastrulation is a critical step in bilaterian development, directly linked to the segregation of germ layers, establishment of axes, and emergence of the through-gut. Theories about the evolution of gastrulation often concern the fate of the blastopore (site of endomesoderm internalization), which varies widely in a major branch of bilaterians, the Spiralia. In this group, the blastopore has been said to become the mouth, the anus, both, or neither. Different developmental explanations for this variation exist, yet no modern lineage tracing study has ever correlated the position of cells surrounding the blastopore with their contribution to tissues of the mouth, foregut, and anus in a spiralian. This is the first study to do so, using the gastropod Crepidula fornicata. Results Crepidula gastrulation occurs by epiboly: the first through third quartet micromeres form an epithelial animal cap that expands to cover vegetal endomesodermal precursors." } ]

The question of how a zygote becomes an animal has been asked for centuries. As recently as the 18th century, the prevailing idea was preformation, the notion that an egg or sperm contains an embryo that is a preformed miniature adult. The competing theory is epigenesis, proposed 2,000 years earlier by Aristotle. According to epigenesis, the form of an animal emerges from a relatively formless egg. As microscopy improved in the 19th century, biologists could see that embryos took shape in a series of progressive steps. Epigenesis displaced preformation as the favored explanation among embryologists. Both preformation and epigenesis have some legitimacy. Although the embryo’s form emerges gradually as it develops, aspects of the developmental plan are already in place in the eggs of many species. An organism’s development is primarily determined by the genome of the zygote and also by differences that arise between early embryonic cells." }, { "docid": "D2728130#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Do_all_animals_have_a_blastula\nWhat happens to the blastula to form the gastrula?", "text": "What happens to the blastula to form the gastrula?

A gastrula is a developmental stage of some animal embryos in which different germ layers are present. In this lesson, learn about the structure of a gastrula, how it forms, and what its germ layers become in adult humans. Gastrula During early animal development, most embryos develop into a blastula or hollow ball of cells. Then the embryos form a gastrula by a process called gastrulation. During gastrulation, some of the outer embryonic cells get pushed inward during a process called invagination. This creates many structures, including germ layers. We'll come back to what germ layers are a little bit later. Right now, let's look at the process of gastrulation and the structures it forms.

During embryonic development blastopore forms the mouth on the anterior end and anus appears later to complete the alimentary canal. Nerve cord is ventral in protostomes. Fate of blastomeres is determined very early during holoblastic cleavage. This is called determinate cleavage, which means blastomeres are destined to form a particular organ in very early stage of cleavage. Cleavage is spiral in protostomes, i.e. axis of cleavage plane is oblique, so that blastomeres have a spiral arrangement in which one tier of cells alternates with the next tier of cells.

Cellular respiration and protein synthesis increase; cytoplasmic p H becomes more basic due to a loss of H+; the sperm nucleus swells and merges with the egg nucleus to form the zygote and DNA replication begins with the first division occurring in about 90 minutes. Cleavage is a succession of rapid mitotic cell divisions following fertilization and produces a multi cellular embryo, the blastula. During cleavage the S and M stages of the cell cycle occur, while the G1 and G2 phase are skipped. Very little gene transcription occurs causing very little growth in the embryo. A definite polarity results is shown in the egg caused by the concentration of cellular components as m RNA, proteins, and yolk. The yolk is a key factor in determining polarity and influencing cleavage. The vegetal pole of the egg has the highest concentration of yolk.

Thus, everything that we will study during the remaining part of the semester is dependent on the complicated embryological process. Reproduction starts with two cells, the sperm and egg - haploid cells formed through the process of meiosis which are specially designed for their own specific purpose. Sperm are: � extremely small cells that lack most of their cytoplasm � designed to travel through an aquatic medium (either internal or external) to reach the egg cell � travel by movements of one or more flagella that propel it toward the egg � all sperm consist of three basic pieces: - the head, which contains the genetic material and is capped by the acrosome (cap) at the apex that contains enzymes needed for the sperm to penetrate the egg - the middle piece contains the primary power source of mitochondria that fuel the movements of the tail piece. Eggs are: � designed more for providing nutrient sources to the developing young than for movement � contains yolk that consists of lipids and protein for nutrients, along with enzymes needed to initiate development � primarily classified by the amount and the distribution of yolk in the egg: - microlecithal eggs (characteristic of the protochordates and eutherian mammals) have a very small amount of yolk, and the young hatch quickly as a result - mesolecithal eggs (characteristic of lampreys and amphibians) have an intermediate amount of yolk, and the young hatch at a later stage of development - macrolecithal eggs (characteristic of fishes, reptiles, birds and monotremes) have a large amount of yolk, and the young hatch at an even later stage - isolecithal: distribution of yolk can be even through the egg - telolecithal: yolk concentrated in one part of the egg - the area with less yolk and prominent haploid nucleus as the animal pole and the area with more yolk as the vegetal pole At fertilization, enzymes in the acrosome of the sperm help to penetrate the egg � requires that the sperm break through the plasma and vitelline membrane surrounding the egg � to prevent more than one sperm from penetrating the egg ( polyspermy ), the egg undergoes a cortical reaction to bring the sperm head into the interior of the egg and change the vitelline envelope to form the fertilization membrane Just after fertilization the zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes cleavage (mitotic cell divisions) and becomes subdivided into smaller cells - the gross arrangement of cells differs greatly among vertebrates, depending on the amount of yolk in the egg: Holoblastic cleavage occurs when the cleavage furrows pass through the entire egg � cleavage can either be equal, where the resulting cells contain the same amount of yolk, or unequal, in which some cells contain more yolk than others: - equal cleavage occurs in microlecithal eggs - unequal cleavage occurs in mesolecithal eggs � cleavage results in the formation of a ball of cells ( blastomeres ) surrounding an internal cavity ( blastocoel ) Meroblastic cleavage occurs more in macrolecithal eggs � cleavage takes place only in a disk at the animal pole � the cleavage furrows do not extend into the yolk � results in the formation of the blastodisk that lies on the top of the yolk Gastrulation is characterized by cell movement and reorganization within the embryo ( morphogenetic movements) to the interior of the embryo, forming three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm . The cells migrate inward at the blastopore, which forms, or is close to, the location of the anus in the adult � the ectoderm forms the outer tube of the embryo � the endoderm is an inner tube that forms the alimentary canal and all its derivative organs � the mesoderm lies between these two layers. At the end of gastrulation, the embryo is bilaterally symmetrical, with three discrete cell layers, and rudiments of the notochord and neural tube.

The epiblast layer, consisting of totipotential cells, derives all 3 embryo layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. The primitive streak is the visible feature which represents the site of cell migration to form the additional layers. Historically, gastrulation was one of the earliest observable morphological event occurring in the frog embryo. Currently, the molecular and physical mechanisms that regulate patterning and migration during this key event are being investigated in several different animal models. This region was also called the \"\"Spemann's organiser\"\" after Hans Spemann (1869 - 1941) who identified the region in amphibia. The same region in birds it is known as \"\"Hensen's node\"\" named for Victor Hensen (1835 – 1924) and is also known generally as the primitive node or knot. In humans, it is proposed that similar mechanisms regulate gastrulation to those found in other vertebrates.primitive node - region in the middle of the early embryonic disc epiblast from which the primitive streak extends caudally (tail)nodal cilia establish the embryo left/right axisaxial process extends from the nodal epiblastprimitive streak - region of cell migration from the epiblast layer forming sequentially the two germ cell layers (endoderm and mesoderm)Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Gastrulation cartoon Epithelial cells (organised cellular layer) which loose their organisation and migrate/proliferate as a mesenchymal cells (disorganised cellular layers) are said to have undergone an Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT).

They hit land at about 400 MYA and exploded from there. Even today, Phylum Arthropoda has more species than any other phylum. Arthropods are animals, so they go in Kingdom Animalia. They have organs so they go in Subkingdom Eumetazoa. They have bilateral symmetry, so they go in Branch Bilateria." }, { "docid": "D2968610#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081029180916AA6Kxdf\nWhat is the difference between a protostome and a deuterostome?", "text": "Science & Mathematics Biology What is the difference between a protostome and a deuterostome?2 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The major difference between protostomes and deuterostomes are how they develop in the early embryo stages.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a blood circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels outside of your heart and brain to narrow, block, or spasm. This can happen in your arteries or veins. PVD typically causes pain and fatigue, often in your legs, and especially during exercise. The pain usually improves with rest. It can also affect the vessels that supply blood and oxygen to your:armsstomach and intestineskidneys In PVD, blood vessels become narrowed and blood flow decreases. This can be due to arteriosclerosis, or “hardening of the arteries,” or it can be caused by blood vessel spasms.

At this time stroke was called apoplexy, which means “struck down by violence” in Greek. This was due to the fact that a person developed sudden paralysis and change in well-being. Physicians had little knowledge of the anatomy and function of the brain, the cause of stroke, or how to treat it. It was not until the mid-1600s that Jacob Wepfer found that patients who died with apoplexy had bleeding in the brain. He also discovered that a blockage in one of the brain’s blood vessels could cause apoplexy. Medical science continued to study the cause, symptoms, and treatment of apoplexy and, finally, in 1928, apoplexy was divided into categories based on the cause of the blood vessel problem. This led to the terms stroke or “cerebral vascular accident ( CVA ).” Stroke is now often referred to as a “brain attack” to denote the fact that it is caused by a lack of blood supply to the brain, very much like a heart attack is caused by a lack of blood supply to the heart. The term brain attack also conveys a more urgent call for immediate action and emergency treatment by the general public." }, { "docid": "D3286315#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/37853475/heart-blood-vessels-flash-cards/\nHeart & Blood Vessels", "text": "\"77 terms Jennycraig13Heart & Blood Vessels Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Fishing for marlin captured the imagination of some sport fishermen in the 1930s, when well-known angler/authors Zane Grey, who fished for black, striped, and blue marlin in the Pacific, and Ernest Hemingway, who fished the Florida Keys, Bahamas and Cuba for Atlantic blue marlin and white marlin, wrote extensively about their pursuit and enthused about the sporting qualities of their quarry. These days a lot of resources are committed to the construction of private and charter billfishing boats to participate in the billfishing tournament circuit. These are expensive purpose-built offshore vessels with powerfully driven deep sea hulls. They are often built to luxury standards and equipped with many technologies to ease the life of the deep sea recreational fisherman, including outriggers, flying bridges and fighting chairs, and state of the art fishfinders and navigation electronics. [ 1]Marlin are part of the billfish family, of which 10 species are of the most interest to anglers: Atlantic and Pacific blue marlin, black marlin, white marlin, striped marlin, Atlantic sailfish, Pacific sailfish, longbill spearfish, shortbill spearfish, and swordfish.

Their wide distribution in tropical oceanic waters and seasonally into temperate zones makes them available to many anglers, and their potential to reach great sizes and spectacular fighting ability makes them a highly desired catch to some anglers. Biology and life history [ edit]Blue marlin are one of the world's largest bony fish and although adult males seldom exceed 330 pounds (150 kg), females may reach far larger sizes well in excess of 1,000 pounds (450 kg).

It is key to know which fish can be eaten often, and which ones to cut down on, to avoid future health problems. The fish that are edible, are packed with vitamin A and vitamin D, and contain calcium that is good in making bones stronger. Fish are a healthy source of protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, that aid in keeping our health and heart in check. Not all fish can be eaten on a daily basis, and one must know which fish are okay to eat often, and which aren't. Fish and shellfish are two food items that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. There are three types of fish that are edible - shellfish, white fish and oily fish. These contain omega-3 fatty acids, and can be eaten by pregnant women, or those that are breastfeeding, since it helps develop the baby's nervous system.

It is closely related to, and usually considered conspecific with, the Indo-Pacific blue marlin, then simply called blue marlin. Some authorities still consider both species distinct. The Atlantic blue marlin (hereafter, blue marlin) feeds on a wide variety of organisms near the surface. It uses its bill to stun, injure, or kill while knifing through a school of fish or other prey, then returns to eat the injured or stunned fish. Marlin is a popular game fish. The relatively high fat content of its meat makes it commercially valuable in certain markets. It is the national fish of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and is featured on its coat of arms. Blue marlin are distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Blue Marlin is an incredibly active, intrepid, and strong type of fish, and it’s undoubtedly a pleasure to watch them in their natural environment. There are many things that make Marlins an incredible catch when going on a sport fishing charter trip, but here are 7 that will make you love them!1. Speed Blue Marlins are considered to be among the fastest fish in the ocean. They are incredibly fast swimmers and can reach up to 60 miles per hour!2. Size Females are 4 times larger than males. The largest specimens can reach 14 ft in length and weight almost 2000 pounds.3. Feeding habits When they hunt, they use their spear to inflict injuries when passing through a school of fish. Injured or dead fish will float in the water, and marlins will scoop the feast afterwards.4. Behavior These type of marlin is a solitary specie, they are usually found swimming alone, although they might swim in pairs, but very rarely do they swim in larger schools.5." } ]

Toothed whales eat fish, squid, and other animals, while baleens eat plankton, krill, and other small creatures. Some studies have also suggested that human activities may have influenced whale feeding habits and the diet of whales, judging from reviews of historical evidence and studies of modern whales. Toothed whales, such as killer whales and pilot whales, are equipped with a large set of teeth, as their name implies. These whales have a diet that includes schooling fishes, squid, and marine mammals such as seals. Some species eat other whales and dolphins. In the case of killer whales, also known as orcas, the animals often work cooperatively to bring down prey much larger than themselves. Researchers have even documented instances of killer whales going after blue whales, the largest mammals on Earth. Baleen whales are filter feeders that eat things like plankton, copepods, small fish, and krill. They filter their food through a comb-like structure known as baleen." }, { "docid": "D905524#0", "title": "https://oceanwide-expeditions.com/to-do/wildlife/blue-whale\nBlue Whale", "text": "Region: Antarctica, Arctic Destinations: Cape Verde, Antarctic Peninsula, Greenland, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Show more +Name: Blue Whale ( balaenoptera musculus)Length: 30 metres (98 feet)Weight: 180 metric tons Location: Worldwide, except under polar ice caps Conservation status: Endangered Diet: Main diet is krill, also other plankton Appearance: Blue-grey, with lighter tones on underside Blue whales can truly claim the title of “gentle giants.” The largest creatures known to have ever lived on Earth, their tongues can outweigh elephants, their hearts can outweigh cars. What do they eat? To maintain their immense size, the whales glide through clouds of krill, tiny organisms (only 1-2 centimetres long!) resembling shrimp, sucking in great bellyfuls of water, and then straining the water back out through their baleen (pleats of fingernail-like material hanging from their upper jaws), trapping the krill as the water is evacuated. A hungry big blue can eat up 3.6 metric tons of krill in a single day. Do they socialize? Blue whales are generally loners, rarely if ever forming pods like other kinds of whales. At most a blue whale might pair up with one other blue whale as they search for food.

The answer to this question is actually quite simple. Despite being the largest living mammal in the world the blue whales primary diet consists almost exclusively of krill, a small oceanic creature that generally measure in at a measly 1-2 centimeters; although a few species of krill can grow close to 6 inches in size. In comparison to the small size of krill the blue whale can grow to be more than 100 ft. long (60 – 80 ft. on average) and weigh over 180 tons (100 – 150 tons on average)!Even though these marine mammals are larger than most whales their bodies are quite slim and streamlined for their size allowing them to reach for speeds of up to 25 miles per hour or more when threatened or startled; however the average traveling speed of these marine mammals remains closer to 5 mph. When it comes to eating food the blue whale can consume as many as 40 million krill per day, which ends up weighing close to 8,000 pounds of food on a daily basis!Note: Instead of krill the baby blue whale consumes milk during its first 6 – 18 months of birth and can drink as much as 150 gallons of milk per day during its first year. This feeding will continue until the young whale is able to hunt for food and survive on its own. When these marine mammals hunt for food the blue whale dives underneath the water and swims towards its prey using a technique known as filter feeding (a common hunting method used among baleen whales ) in which they swim towards large schools of krill with their mouth open and engulf both their prey along with the surrounding water. They then push the water out of their mouth with their tongue while keeping the krill trapped inside their baleen bristles, which researchers and marine biologists state resemble the teeth found on a comb." }, { "docid": "D925631#0", "title": "https://seaworld.org/en/animal-info/animal-infobooks/baleen-whales/diet-and-eating-habits\nBaleen Whales", "text": "\"Baleen Whales Diet & Eating Habits Food Preferences And Resources In general, baleen whales feed low on the food chain, primarily eating zooplankton and small fishes, which they encounter in large swarms or schools.

At that time of year, there may be sufficient food, but when covered with snow or ice, the birds can simply not get to it. The blizzard of March 1, 1927; a sleet and snowstorm of March 1-2, 1980; and the late winter storm of March 13-14, 1993 created havoc for all wildlife. With the possible exception of some sumac, all the berries were gone by the time the storms hit and thousands of birds of different species perished. At times like these, bluebird feeding becomes more than just an enjoyable pastime but a necessity, even though supplemental feeding can help only a small percentage of the total population. The planting of Fosteri holly could supply some late berries. Bluebirds that winter in the northern winter range have greater need and visit feeders more often. In the northern states and Canada, however, no feeding should be done in the early winter because it might delay some birds that migrate South." } ]

September 18, 2012 Mike Birds 47 Comments Few American birds have the publicity problems of the titmouse. Even though they are numerous, if not downright gregarious throughout most of their range, despite the fact that the Tufted Titmouse is consistently one of the top ten most frequently reported species in the Great Backyard Bird Count, titmice lack the popularity of other common birds like cardinals, jays, doves, crows, or even their close cousins, chickadees. Why is this adorable, doll-eyed songbird so often ignored? Tufted Titmouse by Mike Bergin Perhaps it has to do with the name. A bird in the genus Baeolophus is neither a mouse nor…the other thing. The word titmouse descends from the Old English terms, tit (any small animal or object) and mase (small bird), essentially meaning one small, small bird. Though there is nothing inherently prurient about this critter’s cognomen, it’s within the realm of possibility that even the mere utterance of it inspires twittering and naughty feelings in some individuals, and is thus best avoided. It is worth pointing out that titmice belong to the family Paridae, an expansive international clan made up primarily of what we call “chickadees” in the states but are known as “tits” in the Old World.

Find Seeds Here1) Locate bird feeders at different levels Sparrows, juncos, and towhees usually feed on the ground, while finches and cardinals feed in shrubs, and chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers feed in trees. To avoid crowding and to attract the greatest variety of species, provide table-like feeders for ground-feeding birds, hopper or tube feeders for shrub and treetop feeders, and suet feeders well off the ground for woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees.2) Offer a variety of seeds in separate feeders A diverse mix of seeds will attract the greatest variety of birds. To avoid waste, offer different seeds in different feeders. Black oil sunflower seed appeals to the greatest number of birds. Offer sunflower seeds, nyjer (thistle) seeds, and peanuts in separate feeders. When using blends, choose mixtures containing sunflower seeds, millet, and cracked corn—the three most popular types of birdseed. Birds that are sunflower specialists will readily eat the sunflower seed and toss the millet and corn to the ground, to be eaten by ground-feeding birds such as sparrows and juncos. Mixtures of peanuts, nuts, and dried fruit attract woodpeckers, nuthatches, and titmice." }, { "docid": "D500841#0", "title": "http://wildbirdsunlimited.typepad.com/the_zen_birdfeeder/2011/05/faqs-about-feeding-mealworms-to-the-birds.html\nThe Zen Birdfeeder", "text": "\"FAQs about Feeding Mealworms to the Birds Tufted Titmouse taking mealworms from APS Side Dish Feeder Q.

Some people think that if you don't have bluebirds, there's no reason to feed mealworms.

However, under harsh conditions such as prolonged period of chilly, wet weather, or snow & cold, or when ice coats most of the wild berries, bluebirds will benefit from receiving feeder food. Meal worms, suet, sunflower hearts, softened fruits, and cornmeal muffins can all be fed to bluebirds. Most of these will be accepted during the cold weather months if bluebirds have wintered over. But, meal worms are the best food to feed bluebirds and they will readily eat them year-round. During the breeding season, it is nice to feed meal worms because the harried parents will gratefully accept them to help feed their ravenous young. Basically, it acts as a supplement to the natural insect diet bluebirds feed their young. NOTE: supplemental feeding can make a HUGE difference to Bluebirds and their young during periods in the Spring when rain and cool weather persists over multiple days. Bluebirds will have a hard time feeding their young when cool, wet conditions persist.

Those birds need adequate food sources to stay safe and warm through the long cold season, but when there are no buds, fruits or flowers available, plants are dormant and insects are scarce, what do winter birds eat? Foods for Winter Birds Birds are clever and resourceful, and winter birds can find abundant food sources even when the snow is deep and the temperatures are below freezing. The foods available for winter birds include…Seeds: Many plants and flowers keep their mature seed heads well into winter, and birds can cling to or perch on the plants to reach the seeds. Seeds that fall can also be found in leaf litter or under plants where the snow is not as deep. Nuts: Fallen nuts are a great food source for many woodland birds. Acorns, beechnuts and other nuts are popular food sources for jays, titmice and other species with sturdy bills to crack the nuts, and pine nuts are an important food source for winter finches. Insects: While there may not be flying insects in the winter, dormant insects and larvae are a critical food source for birds.

He’s a smart guy, a wildlife biologist and what he knows about native swans is incredible, but what he knew or didn’t know about bird feeding was surprising. We were talking about the high price of seed and that he purchased some finch food and the birds didn’t come. I asked where he purchased the food from and it was a well known “big box” store. I told him that the chances were good that the seed was most likely old and finches will not eat it. Nyjer (also known as Niger and Thistle) is not grown in the US, though it is possible .

Starlings and grackles love suet, but they don’t like to eat upside down.

By understanding the needs birds have in the summer and how to meet those needs with the most nutritious foods, backyard birders can be sure all their summer guests have a great diet. Should I Feed Birds in Summer? A persistent bird feeding myth is that feeding birds during the summer will make the birds dependent on handouts or lazy when seeking natural food sources. This is simply untrue – studies have shown that wild birds typically receive no more than 25 percent of their daily food from feeders, and for many backyard species the total is even lower. In fact, summer is an ideal time to feed birds because…Long days give backyard birders more time to observe feeders and see many different hungry visitors. Birds are in their breeding plumage during the summer months, making identification easier and more enjoyable with bright colors and clear markings. Birds are raising their families, giving backyard birders the opportunity to watch nestlings mature as they learn to visit bird feeders. There is a greater variety of birds in northern areas during the summer months, and birders who only offer food in the winter will miss many amazing species. At first it may seem that fewer birds visit feeders in early to mid-summer, making the season less desirable for backyard birding." }, { "docid": "D2755935#0", "title": "http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/outdoors/gardening/how-to-make-a-tequila-bottle-hummingbird-feeder\nHow to Make a Tequila-Bottle Hummingbird Feeder", "text": "\"Tequila bottles come in a variety of shapes and have tons of great uses (besides drinking).

A female cowbird quietly searches for female birds of other species that are actively laying eggs. Once she has found a suitable host, the cowbird will sneak onto the resident bird’s nest when it is away, usually damage or remove one (or more) egg, and replace that egg with one (or more) of her own (watch a cowbird laying an egg in a Northern Cardinal nest on Nest Cams ). The foster parents then unknowingly raise the young cowbirds, usually at the expense of their own offspring. Cowbird eggs require a shorter incubation period than most other songbirds and thus usually hatch first. Cowbird nestlings also grow large very quickly. These advantages allow them to command the most food from their foster parents, usually resulting in reduced nesting success of the host species. Female Brown-headed Cowbird Photo © Raymond Lee Photography Brown-headed Cowbirds are native to the United States and prefer open grasslands, as well as agricultural, urban, and suburban habitats where grain or cattle-disturbed soil are readily available. Historically they followed herds of bison, eating insects kicked up by the animals’ hooves.

Bones and What They Do From our head to our toes, bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of our face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart, lungs, liver, and spleen, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight. The human skeleton has 206 bones, which begin to develop before birth.

The entire framework of body is made up of bones, which serves as a guarding system to protect the viscera and allows locomotion. Two bones are connected by fibrous tissues that are called ligaments; whereas the muscles are connected to the bones by tendons. These connections provide the system with greater range of motion and strength. Soft parts such as nose and ear are made up of flexible connective tissues called cartilages which further protect the bones. These different parts make up organs of human skeletal system. The skeletal systems in male and female are a bit different in a few aspects, such as female pelvis is more flat and round so as to support the childbirth.

Such an injury could occur in any part of the foot, although when one speaks of sprain, it is more often than not a ligament in the middle part of the foot that’s involved. An injury to a ligament in the forefoot is most often referred to as a sprained toe, while an injury to the back portion of your foot is often termed an ankle injury, whether the ankle joint has been directly involved or not. This makes sense since the ligaments in the back part that attach to the bones are rarely injured, while ankle sprains are much more common. A brief look into the anatomy of the human foot can help to shed some light on where sprains are likely to occur and what they might involve. The difference between a sprain and a strain is also touched upon as these two types of injury are often confused. The discussion then turns to five things you should know, should you have the misfortune to experience a sprained foot.

The two hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum, which is a large bundle of nerve fibers. The cerebrum can be divided into four lobes: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe. The cerebrum is the largest portion of the brain. It oversees many everyday activities. These include motor function, cognitive abilities (thinking and reasoning), sensory impulse interpretation, speech and language, bowel and bladder control, sexual desire, and emotional control. The commonly-used terms 'left brained' and 'right brained' refer to the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. While both sides of the cerebrum (right and left) are involved in all the activities listed above, brain research shows that the left side of the cerebrum is used more for language and logical processing, while the right side is more for visual and intuitive processing.

The human brain is a soft, shiny, grayish white, mushroom-shaped structure. Encased within the skull, the brain of an average adult weight about 3 lb (1.4 kg). At birth, the average human infant's brain weighs 13.7 oz (390 g); by age 15, the brain has nearly reached full adult size. The brain is protected by the skull and by a three-layer membrane called the meninges. Many bright red arteries and bluish veins on the surface of the brain penetrate inward. Glucose, oxygen, and certain ions pass easily from the blood into the brain, whereas other substances, such as antibiotics, do not.

Brain and spinal cord tumors are masses of abnormal cells in the brain or spinal cord that have grown out of control. In most other parts of the body, it is very important to distinguish between benign (non-cancerous) tumors and malignant tumors ( cancers ). Benign tumors do not grow into nearby tissues or spread to distant areas, so in other parts of the body they are almost never life-threatening. One of the main reasons malignant tumors are so dangerous is because they can spread throughout the body. Although brain tumors rarely spread to other parts of the body, most of them can spread through the brain tissue. Even so-called benign tumors can, as they grow, press on and destroy normal brain tissue, causing damage that is often disabling and sometimes fatal. For this reason, doctors usually speak of brain tumors rather than brain cancers. The main concerns with brain and spinal cord tumors are how readily they spread through the rest of the brain or spinal cord and whether they can be removed and not come back. Brain and spinal cord tumors tend to be different in adults and children." }, { "docid": "D3478383#0", "title": "http://nursinglink.monster.com/training/articles/240-physical-assessment---chapter-8-neurological-system\nPhysical Assessment - Chapter 8 Neurological System", "text": "Print Library >> Browse Articles >> Assessments+4Physical Assessment - Chapter 8 Neurological System Tweet14 Comments Featured Author: Arc Mesa Educators Arc Mesa Educators has provided more than 400,000 credit hours and awarded 210,000 certificates to physicians and physician assistants, nurses, radiologic technologists, dentists and dental hygienists, dieticians, funeral directors and many others seeking credits for license renewal.

Nevertheless, we are increasingly learning more and more about this crucial aspect of our biology and are discovering how physiological changes correlated with changes in our behavior and experiences. Gradually for example, brain imaging studies and electrical stimulation have helped us to learn the rough organization of the brain and to discover how specific regions appear to be tied closely to specific tasks. Clusters of neurons dealing with things like perception, emotion and movement are found at precise regions of our brain and thus we are now able to locate the source of various problems affecting our mental health. Likewise, we can predict the outcome that damage to particular areas might produce. But it would be too easy if these brain regions were given nice names that gave us clues as to their functions. Instead we have long Latin names that don’t exactly role off the tongue… It all sounds very complicated. Read on then and we’ll go over some of the more important areas of the brain and what their roles are in governing our behavior.

There used to be a time that skulls have to be drawn in black for that grave, gloomy effect. But there’s a trend nowadays of colorful skulls being inked. The reasoning behind adding color and joy to a skull portrait is often attributed to celebrating how a deceased special someone brought color to the life of the one being tattooed. Skull tattoos can mean recognition of death, celebration of life, and just about everything in between. As such, it’s not uncommon nowadays to have fully customized inked versions of the skull at particular parts of the body. Some may view it as strictly for show. But often times, there’s a reason why people have it inked that way. Just like any other tattoo, what it really means sometimes can only be answered by the person who got it done.

Pink has been gradually adding tattoos to her legs since the age of 12, when she got her first tat ever on her ankle, and she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Pink may have some leg tattoos that she regrets, but lucky for us, she never plans on getting them removed. “ We don’t do that,” Pink once said in reference to questions about Pink and her hubby, Carey Hart, removing any of their numerous tats. “ That’s the most disrespectful thing in the entire world.” What’s neat about Pink’s tattoos, particularly her leg tats, is that you can almost read them like a book – they each tell a story about a certain chapter of Pink’s loving, caring, funny, quirky, successful, rebellious, rock star life. Large Dragon Tat on Pink’s Thigh One of Pink’s largest and most visible tattoos is the massive dragon she has inked on the outside of her left thigh in a Japanese tribal design. Pink’s leg tattoo was inked by Australian tattoo artist Giovanni Di Mizio, and covers a large portion of the pop star’s thigh, from her hip almost to her knee.

what do box turtles like to eat
[ { "docid": "D1495415#0", "title": "http://turtlepuddle.org/american/boxcare.html\nBox Turtle Care", "text": "\"Housing: Box turtles tend to do well either outdoors, or in a large indoor enclosure. Many people do keep them in tiny aquariums, but it is a rather sad existence, in my opinion. One type of indoor container that actually works quite well is a large Rubbermaid tub. Rubbermaid tubs and specially built wooden boxes have an advantage over glass aquariums because they have opaque sides. Some box turtles will obsessively try to get through the glass to get to the larger area that they can see on the other side. Others become frightened by any activity in the room and will not relax until the sides are covered. If you live within the natural range of any of the American box turtles, you should seriously consider an outdoor setup with sun, shade, a variety of weeds, and a small pond of water that is deep enough for swimming. Turtles are happier and healthier under these conditions. Some type of protection is required to prevent raccoons, dogs, or other predators from entering the enclosure. Substrate: One substrate that works well is a combination of potting soil, sand, leaf mulch and sphagnum moss." } ]

Contrary to what some might say, Box turtles do like to bask in the sun as well as be able to hide in a dark moist area. Providing a good basking lamp is important. Avoid any type of heating pad or heat rocks. They have the potential to burn a turtle and turtle’s don’t naturally get their heat from below them, but rather from the sun above, so again, simulate natural conditions.

Pet CT Scan Cost Dog CT Scan Cost Average Cost Of CT Scan What makes the cost of a CT scan confusing is that not all hospitals charge the same price. There is no universal price for a CAT scan and there are often a number of different factors to take into account before the final cost is calculated e.g. fees for the actual procedure and fees associated with the radiologist being paid to interpret the result. If there are a number of nearby places that you could get a CAT scan performed, look into the cost at each of them. You may find that CT scan cost at one facility is far less than the CT scan price at another facility. Depending on whether you need a whole body CAT scan, one body part scanned or several, the cost can range between $300 and up to $6000 or more. You will find that CT scan prices in hospitals are higher than in other facilities with CAT scans, as they have more specialist staff associated with the procedure and tend to have more sophisticated CT equipment. The CT scan cost not only varies from facility to facility, it varies massively between U.

There are certain situations when imaging studies are important to perform. There are many different types of imaging studies that are used to look for different types of medical problems. One of the most common reasons why people see their doctor for headache is because they are concerned that something is causing the pain. People are often worried about serious problems like brain tumors, infections, aneurysms, or blood clots. Fortunately, the majority of headaches are rarely ever caused by dangerous medical problems. In fact, studies show that most people who ever see a doctor for their headaches actually have migraine. Migraine is caused by a complicated interaction between the brain and blood vessels in the face and head. The changes in the brain that happen during migraine cannot be seen by imaging studies, so for most people, an imaging study will not show anything and will look like the scan of someone who does not have headache." }, { "docid": "D377301#0", "title": "http://www.cnn.com/COMMUNITY/transcripts/2001/06/01/gupta/\nDr. Sanjay Gupta: Are full body scans worth the cost and risks?", "text": "CHAT TRANSCRIPTS | HELP | MESSAGE BOARDS | STANDARDS | CHATDr. Sanjay Gupta: Are full body scans worth the cost and risks?

A hematoma is a tumor-like collection of blood, usually clotted, located outside a blood vessel. The subdural space is located between the dura mater (the outermost, toughest, and most fibrous of the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord) and the arachnoid membrane (the middle of these three membranes). The epidural space is located on or outside the dura mater. Now, to answer your question, a subdural hematoma (illustrated below) is basically bleeding into the space between the brain cover (dura mater) and the brain itself. More specifically, there are blood vessels running through the brain and in the spaces between the outside of the brain and the inside of the skull. During a brain injury, any of these vessels can tear and bleed." }, { "docid": "D3345776#0", "title": "https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/21/ct-scan-concerns/2005729/\nExperts weigh risks of CT scans", "text": "\"Chris Gilmer of Greenville Hospital System in South Carolina talks about CT scans.

Computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays. In standard X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a standard X-ray, a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures is not available. In computed tomography, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows many different views of the same organ or structure. The X-ray information is sent to a computer that interprets the X-ray data and displays it in a two-dimensional (2D) form on a monitor." }, { "docid": "D2416755#0", "title": "https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/any-bad-experiences-with-contrast-dye-gadolinium-for-mri.4081/\nAny Bad Experiences with Contrast Dye (Gadolinium) for MRI?", "text": "\"Any Bad Experiences with Contrast Dye (Gadolinium) for MRI?

Brain and spinal cord tumors are usually found because of signs or symptoms a child is having. If a tumor is suspected, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Medical history and physical exam If your child has symptoms that suggest a brain or spinal cord tumor, the doctor will get a complete medical history, focusing on the symptoms and when they began. The doctor will also do a neurologic exam to check your child’s brain and spinal cord function, if possible. Depending on the child’s age, the exam may test reflexes, sensation, muscle strength, vision, eye and mouth movement, coordination, balance, alertness, and other functions. If the results are abnormal, your child’s doctor may refer you to a neurologist (a doctor specializing in medical treatment of nervous system diseases) or a neurosurgeon (a surgeon specializing in nervous system diseases), who will do a more detailed exam and might order other tests. Imaging tests Your child’s doctors may order one or more imaging tests. These tests use x-rays, strong magnets, or radioactive substances to create pictures of internal organs such as the brain and spinal cord.

The alterations result in changes in a person's ability to function normally. Stroke is sometimes termed a brain attack or a cardiovascular accident (CVA). It is much like a heart attack, only it occurs in the brain. Strokes are usually caused by brain vessel blockage or bleeding into the brain tissue; both causes result in an inability for an individual to function normally, but there are ways to treat and prevent or reduce the development of strokes. Do not wait or hesitate to call for emergency medical help for someone suffering a stroke. If a stroke is suspected, call 9-1-1; fast treatment has the potential to make a big difference in outcome and recovery. Two main causes of stroke are clotting in an artery that supplies blood to the brain (ischemic stroke), and bleeding into the brain tissue, often from a defect in a blood vessel in the brain ( hemorrhagic stroke); mini strokes ( TIA 's) are usually temporary ischemic strokes that quickly resolve. Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes often cause permanent losses while a variant of ischemic type of stroke causes transient function loss (termed mini strokes or transient ischemic attacks). Symptoms of stroke includeweakness in the arm or leg or both on one side of the body,weakness in the muscles of the face, problems speaking,coordination problems,dizziness and/or loss of consciousness;some individuals may experience a sudden headache, but most patients have no pain." } ]

Much of the early work in crossing Brahman and Angus cattle was done at the USDA Experiment Station in Jeanerette, Louisiana. According to the USDA 1935 Yearbook in Agriculture the research with these crosses started about 1932 During the same period, Clear Creek Ranch of Welch, Oklahoma and Grenada, Mississippi, Raymond Pope of Vinita, Oklahoma, the Essar Ranch of San Antonio, Texas, and a few individual breeders in other parts of the United States and Canada were also carrying on private experimental breeding programs. They were looking for a desirable beef-type animal that would retain the Brahman's natural ability to thrive under adverse conditions. The early breeders from 16 states and Canada met in Vinita, Oklahoma, on July 2, 1949, and organized the American Brangus Breeders Association, later renamed the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA), with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, and eventually San Antonio, Texas, where the permanent headquarters has been located since January, 1973." } ]

Breeders commonly use artificial selection to produce new breeds from the variable offspring of hybrid crosses. In particular, they have long used a process, known as the backcross breeding method, to obtain new types of organisms.¹ The approach is to identify a type possessing some desirable trait and then to hybridize it with a \"\"target stock\"\" lacking the trait. If hybrids are obtained, the next step is to backcross them to the target stock in order to “introduce” the trait. Basically, the process is the following: Individuals from the target stock are crossed with some other stock having the trait;Hybrids with the trait are backcrossed to the target stock;Backcross progeny exhibiting the trait are selected for further backcrossing or bred among themselves;Selection over ensuing generations stabilizes the trait and eliminates other, undesirable traits that may be present (low fertility prominent among them);The new breed becomes stable when hybrid individuals of both sexes are sufficiently fertile to maintain the breed without further backcrossing. The process is commonly used in producing new types of cage birds.² As Renzo Esuperanzi, the great breeder of fringillid finches, points out,Many [finch] hybrids, if they did not in some cases give us an indication of the genetic affinity of two species, would serve only as exhibition specimens and little more.

Steps1 Do a search on the Internet or a Cattle Breeds book on \"\"Angus\"\" or \"\"Black Angus\"\" cattle.2 Study the characteristics of the breed. Note the following: Coloration: Angus cattle are all black. Angus associations allow some white to be present just behind the navel under the belly, but all animals that are registered as Angus cattle should be all black, from nose to tail. Because there are around six other breeds that also have black cattle, this can lead to someone who has no experience with cattle or the breeds of this domestic bovine to have great confusion as to what really are Angus cattle and what aren't, not to mention why so many breeds have black cattle instead of following their traditional coloration and characteristics. The reason is this: Since the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) gave the go-ahead for the American Angus Association (AAA) to start a more aggressive campaign to market their beef, the only breed that could make the cut for this marketing campaign was Angus. CAB (Certified Angus Beef) is that marketing scheme that the AAA thought up of to market their cattle through. However, as far as the USDA was concerned, CAB had specifications that were for cattle that were black, no matter if they had a spec of Angus blood in them or not. It was this specification that allowed other breeds to try to infuse Angus genetics in their stock to create \"\"purebred\"\" (as in Charolais) or full-blood cattle that where black. Thus, we now see the breeds mentioned above having black cattle in them to meet these specifications and get a premium for these animals." }, { "docid": "D1367327#0", "title": "http://countrysidenetwork.com/daily/livestock/cattle/how-to-start-a-cattle-farm-your-guide-to-breed-selection/\nYour Guide to Dairy and Beef Cattle Breeds", "text": "Livestock Your Guide to Dairy and Beef Cattle Breeds Selecting the Ideal Beef or Dairy Cattle Breeds for Your Farm Countryside Network • January 11, 2018Read Comments (3)25 9 12 2 4 8 20By Heather Smith Thomas – There are so many cattle breeds and crosses that it’s hard to know which ones to choose when researching how to start a cattle farm. Cattle farming for beginners requires researching dozens and dozens of beef cattle breeds and composites, and a half dozen major dairy cattle breeds. There are also a number of minor cattle breeds that are often more attractive to the small farmer than they are to the big producer. You may want to raise animals that are bred for beef or dairy, or you might want a dual purpose type of cow that provides enough milk for your family and also a good beef-type calf to butcher. What you select will depend on how much room you have and whether you want to have a small dairy or a beef herd, or just a cow or two to produce your own meat or milk. The many cattle breeds and types of cattle have a wide variety of characteristics that make them unique. Some are better suited to certain environments or management systems than others. Some of the older cattle breeds are less popular today and small in number, but this does not make them any less suitable for beef production (or for dairy purposes on a small scale or for a pasture dairy). Under certain conditions, one of these cattle breeds may fit your goals better than a more popular breed. You may want to take a look at some of the minor cattle breeds or crosses that utilize these breeds when choosing animals that might best fit your interests, environment, resources, and ability to care for the animals." }, { "docid": "D3222068#0", "title": "http://www.festivals-fairs-fun.com/Mississippi-State-Fair-2016-Daily-Schedule-Travis-Tritt.html\n.", "text": "Mississippi State Fair 2016 Schedule October 5 - 16, 2016 Jackson, Mississippi Mississippi State Fair 2016 Daily Schedule Wednesday - October 5, 2016 5:00 pm - Gates Open and Rides Open 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm - Clogging - Hospitality tent 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm - FFA Children's Barnyard - Barn 6 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Farm Bureau Petting Zoo - Midway near Gate 1 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Ride Special - Sneak-a-Peek - $27. 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 pm - Farm Bureau Pig Races - Midway near Gate 1 6:30, and 8:30 pm - Xtreme Motorcycle - Midway near Giant Slide 7:00 pm - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 7:00 pm - Fetch and Fish - Trademart 7:00 pm - 10:00 - Jay Herrington Band - Hospitality tent 7:30 pm - Travis Tritt - Budweiser Pavilion Thursday - October 6, 2016 11:00 am - Gates Open - Free admission until 1:00 pm 11:00 am - 10:00 pm - FFA Children's Barnyard - Barn 6 11:00 am - 10:00 pm - Farm Bureau Petting Zoo - Midway near Gate 1 11:30 am - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 12:00 Noon, 6:30, 8:00 pm - Xtreme Motorcycle - Midway near Giant Slide 12:00 Noon, and 7:00 pm - Fetch and Fish - Trademart 12:30, 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 pm - Farm Bureau Pig Races - Midway near Gate 1 1:00 pm - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 2:00 pm - Rides Open 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Ride Special - $2 Rides per Person 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm - Clogging - Hospitality tent 7:00 pm - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 7:00 pm - 10:00 - Jay Herrington Band - Hospitality tent 7:30 pm - Frank Foster - Budweiser Pavilion Friday - October 7, 2016 11:00 am - Gates Open - Free admission until 1:00 pm 11:00 am - 10:00 pm - FFA Children's Barnyard - Barn 6 11:00 am - 10:00 pm - Farm Bureau Petting Zoo - Midway near Gate 1 11:30 am - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 12:00 Noon, 6:30, 8:00 pm - Xtreme Motorcycle - Midway near Giant Slide 12:00 Noon - Fetch and Fish - Trademart 12:00 Noon - Rides Open 12:00 Noon - 6:00 pm - Ride Special - Kids Day - 1 less Coupon 12:30, 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 pm - Farm Bureau Pig Races - Midway near Gate 1 (schedule continues below) Friday - October 7, 2016 (continued) 1:00 pm - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 2:00 pm - MS Brangus Jr Show - Barn 14 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm - Clogging - Hospitality tent 5:00 pm - MS Simmental / Simbrah Open Show - Barn 14 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm - Kidd Davie 7:00 pm - Fetch and Fish - Trademart 7:00 pm - Kidd Davie - Kid Zone 7:00 pm - 10:00 - Jay Herrington Band - Hospitality tent 8:00 pm - Luckenbach Tribute Band - Budweiser Pavilion 9:00 pm - 1:00 am - Ride Special - Ride-A-Thon note: Schedules may be subject to changes Mississippi State Fair 2016 Daily Schedules October 5, 6, and 7October 8, 9, and 10October 11, 12, and 13October 14, 15, and 16All Festivals and Fairs 2016• January, February, March • April, May, June • July, August, September • October, November, December Fairs, Festivals, Parades, Concerts, Shows Search (All)" }, { "docid": "D2583863#0", "title": "http://www.mostatefair.com/fair-history/\nFair History", "text": "Fair History Since the first Fair in 1901, thousands of Missouri families have made the annual “pilgrimage” to Sedalia.

Cattlemen and women take a great deal of pride in what they do and follow a protocol called the Cattle Producers’ Code of Ethics. Types of Cattle Operations California ranches consist of one or more of four types of operations: cow-calf, seed stock, stocker, and feedlot. A cow-calf operation maintains a breeding herd of cows, replacement heifers (young females) and bulls. Steer calves and most heifer calves are sold, but some may be selected to enter the breeding herd.

Tightening margins have forced producers to further evaluate the management plan, running through many different scenarios to find the best production model.

Beef and bison were first intentionally crossbred during the mid-19th century. [ 3]The first deliberate attempts to cross breed bison with cattle was made by Colonel Samuel Bedson, warden of Stoney Mountain Penitentiary, Winnipeg, in 1880. Bedson bought eight bison from a captive herd of James Mc Kay and inter-bred them with Durham cattle. The hybrids raised by Bedson were described by naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton: [4]The hybrid animal is [claimed] to be a great improvement on both of its progenitors, as it is more docile and a better milker than the Buffalo, but retains its hardihood, while the robe is finer, darker and more even, and the general shape of the animal is improved by the reduction of the hump and increased proportion of the hind-quarters. After seeing thousands of cattle die in a Kansas blizzard in 1886, Charles \"\"Buffalo\"\" Jones, a co-founder of Garden City, Kansas, also worked to cross bison and cattle at a ranch near the future Grand Canyon National Park, with the hope the animals could survive the harsh winters.

( January 2017)Santa Gertrudis cows and calves Santa Gertrudis bull Santa Gertrudis cattle are a tropical beef breed of cattle developed in southern Texas on the King Ranch. They were named for the Spanish land grant where Captain Richard King originally established the King Ranch. This breed was officially recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1940, becoming the first beef breed formed in the United States. The origin given by King Ranch is that it was formed by mating Brahman bulls with Beef Shorthorn cows, with the final composition being about three-eighths Brahman and five-eighths Shorthorn. In 1918, the King Ranch purchased 52 bulls of three-quarters to seven-eighths Bos indicus breeding to mate with 2500 pure-bred Shorthorn cows on the ranch. At this time, the American Brahman breed as such did not exist, nor were purebred Bos indicus cattle available in the United States.

It is a dominant symptom of kidney disease, so many people worry if they develop kidney problem when they notice there are bubbles in urine. Does bubbles in urine mean kidney disease? Though bubbly urine is a sign of kidney disease, but not everyone with bubbles in urine is definitely suffering from kidney disease. In clinic, bubbly urine occurs when there are excess protein in urine (more than 150mg/24h) and it is clinically called proteinuria. According to the exact cause that protein leak into urine, proteinuria or bubbly urine is divided into different types like overflow proteinuria, mixed proteinuria, glomerular proteinuria, tubular proteinuria and histic proteinuria and so on. Many conditions can cause protein in urine, like high protein intake, urinary tract infection, pregnancy, kidney disease and medications and so on. Kidney disease is just one of the causes of bubbly urine. How does kidney disease cause bubbles in urine?

Pneumaturia is the term for passing gas in the urine. This may appear as gas bubbles in the urine and the passage of gas from the urethra during urination. Pneumaturia should be taken seriously as it is an indication of a compromised urinary tract which could progress to other complications if left untreated. Pneumaturia as a symptom usually does not appear on its own and other abnormalities in the urine, changes in the urinary patterns and pelvic or abdominal discomfort/pain are often present as well. Pneumaturia may present in a manner similar to a urinary tract infection (UTI) and the various causes of pneumaturia may cause a person to be more prone to recurrent UTIs. Meaning of Bubbles in the Urine Pneumaturia should not be confused with frothy or foamy urine, which arises due to proteinuria. It also has to be differentiated from surface bubbles in the toilet bowl water that form when urinating as this can be due to detergents in the water. With pneumaturia, the bubbles in the urine may rise to the surface of the toilet bowl water in a manner similar to a carbonated beverage.

It's no wonder that the study of urine, or urinalysis (no, I didn't make that word up), has been around for hundreds of years. According to Dr. Tomas Griebling, vice chair of the urology department at the University of Kansas, it's \"\"one of the original windows into what's happening in the body.\"\" Doctors today still rely on pee to tell a true story about someone's health. Your kidneys are a complicated filtration system, and while you're busy milling about your day, not even thinking about them in the slightest, they're working hard to sift through 200 liters of your blood. That means no matter how much you try to hide what you ate or drank over the weekend, whatever comes out of those kidneys is a dead giveaway of what you've been up to. Since your urine is a compilation of the waste that's been swimming around in your body, it says a lot about what kind of health issues you're facing, whether it's a bacterial infection or early onset diabetes. So whether your urine is looking cloudy, bright yellow, or even red, don't ignore your pee; it could be the most reliable health guru you've ever had.

Hydration levels have little to do with it, and most normal diets won’t change the consistency of urine. If you are suffering from frothy urine consult a doctor as there are several possible underlying conditions causing a nephrotic syndrome, some of them serious. They all affect the kidneys, which should not usually allow substantial amounts of protein into the urine. When the kidneys get damaged they can allow protein into the urine. Protein normally doesn’t leave the bloodstream as the filtration “holes” in the kidneys aren’t large enough to allow proteins through, so only in states of damage do the kidneys allow protein to filter out. The increased urine fat content in nephrotic syndrome is the result of the body losing protein and trying to compensate for the loss of colloid osmotic pressure (having soluble proteins) in the blood by increasing the fat content of the blood. This spills over into the urine. There may be dietary additives or other chemicals which are disproportionately filtered out by the kidney causing high protein content in the urine. Either way, it is wise to consult a doctor, taking a urine sample with you so they can dip your urine and check for protein and anything else unexpected such as infection markers.879 Views · View Upvoterspromoted by hims Healthy is going to look good on you." }, { "docid": "D6433#0", "title": "http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Kidney-Disease--Disorders/bubbles-in-urine/show/502336\nbubbles in urineObession Apr 25, 2008", "text": "bubbles in urine Obession Apr 25, 2008Hey I have recently been experiencing a varying amount of bubbles in my urine.

The tympanum is a round circle located on the side of the head near the eye, and in males it is much larger than the eye. In females the tympanum is as large or smaller than the eye.

Frogs and toads are amphibians, which means they live their lives both in water and on land. Typically, frogs breed and spend thier juvenile (or \"\"larval\"\") stage in the water, then spend some or virtually all of their adult lives on the land. Frogs and toads are distinguished from salamanders (which are also amphibians) by the fact that adults do not have a tail. Do all frogs live in the water? No. The amount of time that adults spend in the water varies enormously. Bullfrogs and green frogs, although they have lungs and breathe air, spend almost all their adult lives in the water.

Toads and frogs belonging to the amphibians are a distinct and separate evolution from some large prehistoric group of reptiles, mammals and birds. With the exception of Antarctica, frogs inhabit all the continents of the world. On account of their dissimilarity, they are permitted to exist in diverse surroundings, ranging from the hottest to the coldest. Frogs dwell in a wide range of habitats; the majority of them favor regions that are moist, which are: Creeks Ponds Swamps Trees Rain forests Such habitats help them to retain their skin moist, which is a must for their existence Even though frogs breathe air, it is possible for them to remain under water for sufficient time, respiring through their skin. They dwell in places that are damp; most frogs are seen in the rainforests. Their eggs are laid in water, i.e. ponds.

But that’s what makes Tippi Degre’s story that more special. Now 23 years old, Tippi is the only child of French wildlife photographer parents, Alain Degre and Sylvie Robert. Her parents’profession and their work in Africa made the young girl’s childhood unique, giving her the opportunity to interact with wild animals in incredible ways.

Reproductive Isolation Picture a flood that changes the course of a river, dividing not only the landscape in half, but also a population of deer. The deer can no longer interact and, over hundreds of years, the two deer populations evolve, or change. Eventually, the river dries up and the two groups of deer are able to mingle once again. However, they are no longer able to mate because they are no longer the same species. A species is a group of living organisms, such as animals or plants, that can interbreed or exchange genes.

These colors tend to make up the foundation of the shoe line-up, regardless of whether we select wingtips or tassel loafers. What I'm hoping to accomplish with this page is to give a pretty straight-forward guide on what shoe colors best work with the five main suit colors that are found in the average man's wardrobe; Black, Brown, Mid-Gray, Charcoal and of course the ultimate staple - the Navy suit. Some of it will probably be considered pretty common sense, but hopefully someone will find some use or guidance. BROWN Brown suits pair well with brown shoes of course as well as burgundy shoes. You want to avoid wearing black shoes with a brown suit. A point to bear in mind when wearing brown shoes with a brown suit is that there needs to be a visible contrast. NAVY The navy suit is the workhorse of the suiting world & is also the most flexible of colors. You can pair a navy suit with black, brown or burgundy shoes depending on the occassion. Black with navy is considered the most formal combination, then brown & burgundy." }, { "docid": "D712551#0", "title": "https://www.dmarge.com/2016/05/how-to-dress-cocktail-men.html\nHow To Wear The Cocktail Dress Code", "text": "13PHOTOSLAUNCH GALLERYSCROLL TO READ & SEE MOREWhen someone hands you a cocktail during a night out, you’re most appreciative of the complimentary drink.

Regardless of what job you’re applying for, a dark suit and a tie will rarely be the wrong choice. Too be clear, a “suit” means a matching jacket and pants, and not an odd jacket combination. The Exception to the Rule Ideally, you don’t want to be “not wrong” but rather perfectly dressed for the job. A suit and tie express that you have respect for the opportunity, and that’s a good thing. At the same time, if you are seeking for a job at a casual design agency, a young startup or an outdoor construction or gardening company where everyone wears cargo shorts, a suit and tie can make you seem like you do not fit in." }, { "docid": "D1039368#0", "title": "http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/best-walking-shoes-for-travel/2\n19 Comfy, Travel-friendly Shoes Made for Walkin'", "text": "Philip Friedman Whether you’re strolling seaside or wandering cobblestone streets, these stylish walking shoes will give you a leg up.

Bright and pastel shades are pushed to the back of the wardrobe as we make room for a flood of neutral tones and rich, muted hues. We’ve already identified camel, emerald green and orange as key colours for AW13, so today burgundy gets the Fashion Beans treatment. The colour, one of Matt Allinson’s top picks for the season, has become a menswear stalwart over recent years – cementing itself as a year-round staple. With this in mind, we’re taking an in-depth look at both classic and on trend ways you can begin to integrate this versatile hue into your wardrobe this year…Look One: Tonal Outfitting Single colour, tonal outfitting was a major trend at the AW13 London Collections: MEN showcase and, as Chris Gill pointed out in his guide last week, red/burgundy hues make for a great option when putting the styling technique into practice. When building a single colour outfit, it is important to create a clear definition between pieces, which can be achieved via changes in tone or texture. Therefore, begin with a woollen knit; the sweater below is constructed from a variety of coloured yarns, with red and pink being the most prevalent. Underneath, a washed pink Oxford shirt offers a lighter contrast, helping bring a sense of depth to the top half. Some dark burgundy cotton chinos and a pair of red suede trainers finish the outfit on a casual note, whilst adding two more distinct textures into the mix: Topman Pink Acid Wash Oxford Long Sleeve Shirt Hentsch Man Wool Crew Neck Sweater Asos Slim Chino New Balance M990bd Made In Usa Sneakers Lookbook Inspiration Look Two: Accessory Accent The easiest way to introduce any new colour into your look is via a well-placed accessory. Burgundy may not be the boldest of hues but its richness and versatility make it a great accent." }, { "docid": "D662194#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/piscamethyst/\nEmarlen Lenida", "text": "\"Emarlen Lenida Emarlen Lenida10Followers6Following Boards Pinsmake up 37 Pins ilove shoes 19 Pins hairstyle 15 Pinshome decor 31 Pins dress n shirt 17 Pins jewelry 11 Pinsnails 2 Pins Emarlen 4 Pins More ideas from Emarlen Topshop Style Topshop Fashion Topshop Coats Forever 21 Fashion Kard Boohoo Dresses Kurt Geiger And Clothing The Winter Inspired Outfits Rarity Classy Style Outfits Cool Outfits Casual Wear Winter Fashion Looks Wardrobe Closet Fall Winter Women's Feminine Clothes Denim Skirts Korean Fashion Putting Outfits Together Ladies Fashion Fashion Trends Boots Lifes Too Short Trifle Desserts Outfit Ideas Fall Fashion Couture Sewing Autumnfeaturing Topshop, Forever Boohoo, KG Kurt Geiger and Yves Saint Laurent See More Rapunzel Cake Ice Cake Rapunzel cake See More Rapunzel Cake Barbie Cake Barbie Doll Barbie Birthday Birthday Fun Birthday Cakes Birthday Ideas Doll Cakes Cookie Cakes Castles Postres Princesses Daughter Birthday Birthdays Anniversary Cakes Anniversary Ideas Barbie Donut Birthday Cakes Birthday Cookies Birthday Cake Rapunzel doll cake See More Laua Birthday cake for my granddaughter's birthday party.

A great question, indeed and one that I wanted to thoroughly address today. Call it smart casual, snappy casual or any other adjective, like sharp, dressy, and more, it all means the same. In a nutshell <insert adjective> casual is just a polite way of saying, dressy attire for this event isn’t required, but please don’t wear what you would to go grocery shopping or watch football games on the weekends. As sad as it is to say, most people require this type of direction when attending these types of casual events. I mean, for the love of God, people, are we not smart enough to know to put some effort towards what we wear to events like this? Yet, while many of us know better than to wear a pair of yoga pants or a t-shirt that says something like “I’m with Stupid” on the front of it, it still doesn’t make it easy to figure out how to pull this type of look together. It makes sense, a stylish, casual look can be tricky for work and for weekends because, to give a casual outfit a little extra polish, it does require some styling, particularly through accessorizing. This can be challenging even for the best of stylishly intended.

Administration can give organisations 'breathing space' to enable a rescue, as creditors are prevented from enforcing their claims against the company. A company will normally continue to trade while the administrator looks at options for restructuring. The outcome of an administration may be the sale of the business as a going concern, the sale of part of the business or, as previously in the high profile case of Woolworths, the closure of the business and sale of assets. What if my employment continues? Once administrators are appointed, initial cost saving measures are likely to be needed, invariably involving a reduction in the wage bill." }, { "docid": "D3168165#0", "title": "https://www.tn.gov/sos/bus_svc/corpFAQs.htm\n.", "text": "Business Services Home > Corporations >Corporations FAQs What types of business entities file documents with the Division of Business Services?

It provides an overview on the most important managerial functions and trains you in solving practical business problems. Full-time programs often include leadership seminars as well as practical periods such as business plan development, in-company projects, or internships, and your primary source of information is case studies. In an MBA program, you are building up knowledge that is already there - and you receive that knowledge through books, lectures, case studies, or interaction with professors, classmates or businesses. In a professional business doctorate you read academic journals In contrast, the DBA is a research program where you read academic journals. You become trained not in solving managerial problems but in becoming a researcher who is able to publish in academic journals some day.

This basic and rather monotonous design often leads to the unwarranted conclusion that reference data needs little attention, or even that it can be safely ignored. Yet, the same IT professionals who arrive at this conclusion often feel a sense of unease, sometimes approaching dread, when they have to deal with reference data. This is because there is an often unarticulated understanding that reference data may be simple in structure, but it is highly leveraged throughout all databases, and getting it wrong can have really bad consequences. Getting it right, by contrast, has few rewards because no-one has any real idea of its value or importance to the enterprise. All this presents a challenge to data administrators, but it is a challenge that can only be met by thinking about reference data in a new way, and understanding its special management needs. What is Reference Data? The first step to managing reference data is to understand what it is. Reference data can be defined as follows: Reference data is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise. This definition is fairly broad and this is because reference data is actually quite diverse." }, { "docid": "D911114#0", "title": "https://learn.org/articles/Bachelor_of_Business_Administration_Your_Salary_and_Career_Questions_Answered.html\nBachelor's of Business Administration: Career and Salary Facts", "text": "Bachelor's of Business Administration: Career and Salary Facts Find out about the types of jobs you could pursue with a Bachelor's of Business Administrator.

Age MIM programs usually do not require professional experience although they are open to young professionals who have been working for some time, mostly up to a year. As a result, the Master in Management students are generally much younger than fulltime MBA students, at some schools the average age is 23 years (with a range from 20 to about 27 years) compared to the average age of 27 to 32 in MBA programs.2.

It's a sure thing in a world where nothing else is sure, it's a certainty, the stock will thicken! \"\" Nora Ephron Stocks may be thickened by means of reductions, eggs, butter, vegetable purees, cream, foie gras, various starches and even blood. In classical French cuisine, the roux is the primary thickening agent. Equal parts of butter and flour are well blended over heat to create a roux. This process may produce rouxs of different colors and thickening capabilities depending on the cook's need. In Cajun and Creole cuisine, the roux has been raised to a new dimension never before experienced in other forms of cooking. Butter, lard, peanut oil, bacon fat and even duck fat have been used in combination with flour to produce as many taste and color variations as there are cooks in South Louisiana. In classical cuisine, the brown roux is used for brown sauce, the blonde roux for veloutes and the white roux is used for bechamels. In Creole cuisine, a brown roux is made from butter or bacon fat and is used to thicken gumbos and stews requiring a light touch." }, { "docid": "D1642668#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/blondecher/round-steak-recipes/\nRound Steak Recipes", "text": "\"Cube Steak And Gravy Crock Pot Cube Steak Crock Pots Steak In The Crockpot Crockpot Cream Of Chicken Smothered Cube Steak Chicken Rice And Gravy Slow Cooker Swiss Steak Cream Of Chicken Gravy Recipe Crock Pot Cube Steak and Gravy.

I normally have breakfast out, I am not a morning person, and making coffee and wearing matching clothes is pretty much all I can do in the morning. I have breakfast at the same place everyday, it is in the building where I work. Everyday they have perfectly crisp, and perfectly flat pieces of bacon. So I asked them what do you do? They bake bacon, and so can you. Honestly, there are many advantages in cooking bacon in the oven. Cleanup is easy. Maybe you can cook bacon without it splattering everywhere, but I cannot, bacon for me goes, pretty much everywhere.

Cornbread is a staple Cajun starch. Cajun cuisine ( French: Cuisine cadienne, [kɥizin kadʒæ̃n]) is a style of cooking named for the French-speaking Acadian people deported by the British from Acadia in Canada to the Acadiana region of Louisiana. It is what could be called a rustic cuisine; locally available ingredients predominate and preparation is simple. An authentic Cajun meal is usually a three-pot affair, with one pot dedicated to the main dish, one dedicated to steamed rice, special made sausages, or some seafood dish, and the third containing whatever vegetable is plentiful or available. Crawfish, shrimp, and andouille sausage are staple meats used in a variety of dishes. The aromatic vegetables green bell pepper ( poivron ), onion, and celery are called the holy trinity by Cajun chefs in Cajun and Louisiana Creole cuisines." }, { "docid": "D1033951#0", "title": "http://www.deepsouthdish.com/2013/07/classic-southern-pinto-beans.html\nClassic Southern Pinto Beans", "text": "Classic Southern style pinto beans, stewed with salt pork and cayenne pepper and always served with a side of cornbread.

Generally speaking, I don't mind the rain at all, well, so long as I don't have to drive anywhere in it at least. It's relaxing and cleansing, sort of washing away the world's residue and making everything fresh once it moves along. I love the sound of the rain falling steadily against a window or spattering across a tin roof, and it's a good a reason as any on a Sunday afternoon to take in a marathon of old movies. Or a nap.

But instead I'm going to tell you about a chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwiches, generally speaking, don't exist to excite.

Pork is most commonly used, but butchers also use beef, lamb, veal, turkey, chicken, or game, and some also use fillers like oatmeal and rice to stretch the meat a bit. Casings vary too--in addition to intestines or artificial casings, butchers sometimes use stomachs, feet, skins, or they do away with casings altogether and sell the sausage in bulk. After assembling a sausage, a butcher can either sell it as fresh sausage, or else cure, dry, or precook it in some way.

The Ingredients To make the beginnings of a light sauce such as a bechamel, butter and white flour are the most traditional choices. Some recipes call for different types of fat. Roux made with bacon fat or vegetable oil will lend your finished dish different flavor than one made with butter. To make a dark roux, used for Cajun or Creole cooking, use butter, oil, bacon fat or drippings left over from cooking meat. Different flour varieties can also be used but will affect the texture and taste of the roux. The Technique No matter what type of fat and flour you're using, a roux always requires that you use equal amounts of them." } ]

Within the United States, the common kingsnake subspecies lives wild exclusively in the southwestern portion of California; they also can be found in Mexico's Baja California. Basic Information Although many of these family Colubridae creatures are kept as pets, many more of them continue to live out in their original habitats, too. Typical living environments for California king snakes are desert, semi-desert, swamps, scrubland, rugged outcrops, agricultural sites, grassland and forests. The often crepuscular constrictors are highly versatile in this manner, and sometimes are even spotted in areas of relatively dense human habitation. California king snakes are especially common in settings close to creeks. When they are used to captive environments, they generally become pleasant and mild in disposition. Wild specimens that feel frightened, however, often behave aggressively -- think painful biting. They generally grow to lengths of between 2.5 and 6 feet. Wild Diet California king snakes in nature aren't picky about their meals." } ]

Rattlesnakes can identify kingsnakes by smell. Rattlesnakes usually retreat in presence of a kingsnake and hold their head and tail close to the ground while arching their back and attempt to hit the kingsnake.

A: Quick Answer Most snakes hatch from eggs outside of the mother. While a small number of snake species give birth to live snakes rather than laying eggs, all snake eggs are internally fertilized when snakes mate. After mating, some snakes lay their eggs immediately, while others carry the eggs around, laying them only when it is time for the eggs to hatch.

The stripes can be white, yellow, blue, greenish, or brown. One stripe runs down the center of the snake's back, the other two stripes run alongside this central stripe. Sometimes the stripes are absent or poorly defined. Some garter snakes have alternating rows of dark spots that run along the stripes, making the stripes look more like checkerboard patterns of light, rather than lines. Common garter snakes have a head that is wider than the neck and is uniformly dark.

Prairie rattlesnakes are 35 to 45 inches long (89-114 cm) with a record length of 57 inches (144.8 cm). Although they weigh only about one pound (0.5 kg), they have a heavy or bulky-appearing body. Their gray-green bodies with greenish blotches are camouflaged to blend in with the prairie landscape. Their most identifiable features are their wide, triangular-shaped head, skinny neck, and blunt tail. Rattlesnakes have 2 long, curved fangs that can be folded back inside the mouth. The fangs are attached to the front of the upper jaws. When they intend to bite, rattlesnakes extend the fangs forward and their large jaw muscles squeeze the venom from glands on each side of the snake's head into the hollow fangs." }, { "docid": "D1877420#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_snake\nCorn snake", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Corn snake Conservation status Least Concern ( IUCN 3.1) [1]Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Serpentes Family: Colubridae Genus: Pantherophis Species: P. guttatus Binomial name Pantherophis guttatus ( Linnaeus, 1766)Synonyms Coluber guttatus Linnaeus, 1766Elaphis guttatus— A.

Some sources maintain that the corn snake is so-named because the distinctive, nearly-checkered pattern of the snake's belly scales resembles the kernels of variegated corn.

Teeth are frequently in harm’s way; by one estimate, a quarter of all 12-year-olds have injured their permanent teeth. Of course, the fact that dental injuries are common is no comfort when they happen to you—or your child. Fortunately, modern dental treatment can make your smile look great again—especially if you get prompt and appropriate care. That’s why it is important to know what to do when you break a tooth. If a tooth has been damaged by a traumatic blow to the head, it’s a good idea to get checked out at an emergency room or urgent care center—particularly if there’s any dizziness, disorientation or loss of consciousness. If the injury is confined to the tooth or teeth, you may be able to wait until the next day (or longer for a tiny chip) to see a dentist. Here are some common types of tooth injuries and methods for repairing them: Chipped Tooth The appropriate treatment for a chipped tooth will depend on how much of the tooth has broken off. A small chip isn’t generally an emergency; it can often be repaired with dental bonding, which involves layering on a durable, tooth-colored material to restore the tooth’s shape.

The pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth. It's mostly make up of nerve and blood vessels that connect tooth to the remainder of your body. If the \"\"chip\"\" is deep enough that it is all the way into the pulp, then the pulp gets infected.

There are several levels of infection ranging from mild to severe, but almost always, intense, throbbing pain is present. Tooth infections generally involve the nerves at the center of the tooth that feed out through the end of the root. When the root dies, the infection has an opportunity to spread to the surrounding tissues, gums, bones and teeth. Trauma is the main cause of tooth infections. The trauma can be attributed to things such as cavities, broken or chipped teeth or losing a tooth. Either way, the second the tooth is damaged, microorganisms are readily waiting to enter and attack the area. These microorganisms battle the nerves inside your tooth. If the nerves die, infections will certainly begin. If the infection goes untreated, it can become a tooth abscess, cause illness such as sweating, fever and vomiting, and can even shut off the airway passage." }, { "docid": "D226356#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/toothache-relief-from-a-cracked-or-broken-tooth-1059317\nHow to Relieve Pain From a Cracked or Broken Tooth", "text": "Dental Health Dental Conditions How to Relieve Pain From a Cracked or Broken Tooth Toothache Treatments Until You Can Get to the Dentist By Shawn Watson | Reviewed by Claudia Hoffman, DDSUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Getty Images/Eric Audras A broken or cracked tooth may cause a very painful toothache, especially if the inner pulp of the tooth is exposed. That’s where the tooth’s blood vessels, nerve, and connective tissues are, and if that area becomes inflamed or infected, the pain can be excruciating. There are ways to get relief from a toothache caused by a cracked or broken tooth, but they're not permanent solutions. For any damaged tooth, you’ll eventually need to see a dentist, particularly if the nerve is exposed. Dental Pulp and Root Canal A cracked or broken tooth that is causing a toothache is likely to need treatment of the dental pulp to permanently treat the pain. The pulp extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots where it connects to the tissues surrounding the root. Although the pulp is important during a tooth's growth and development, once it is fully mature the tooth can survive without the pulp. Treatment of dental pulp (nerve) injuries is called root canal or endodontic treatment.

So what DO cows eat? Well, it varies from farm to farm and by the cow’s age. Baby calves are fed colostrum (a mother’s first milk) within the first 24 hours of when they’re born to ensure they get all of the antibodies, nutrients and minerals needed for a healthy start. For the following 60 days, they will drink milk or milk replacer (like baby formula). After 90 days, calves are weaned off milk and fed a diet of grain, hay and water. Calves are picky just like most children, so most calf grain is coated in molasses to make it sweeter and taste better. Heifers (think teenagers) and cows are fed grain mixed with hay, corn silage (entire corn plant chopped and fermented) and other feeds to create what farmers and nutritionists call a total mixed ration, or TMR. The TMR is made in a big mixer like the one below. The TMR is important because it ensures cows get proper nutrition." } ]

That was the surprise development in a recent weaning study at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Canada, designed to investigate the calf distress caused by traditional weaning methods.

If you’re unhappy with the size or shape of your calves then I’m sure this isn’t news to you. What may be news is that calf size and shape, more than any other body part, is the muscle group that is most dependent on genetics. In other words, no matter how much you exercise and eat right, by far the strongest factor that dictates how your calves will ultimately look is genetics. Contrast this with your quadriceps or your pectoral muscles, which are, by comparison, relatively easy to pack muscle size onto through progressive weight training paired with a calorie surplus (or lose size in through a calorie deficit and low and slow cardio). Your calves will definitely respond more stubbornly to input compared to other body parts, much to your dismay and frustration. There’s just no way around that, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Avoid Direct Weight-Bearing Exericse Many people try to make their calves smaller by working them directly. However, this is NOT how to get smaller calves. Doing this is often counter productive, particularly if you’re new to exercising, as any direct weight bearing exercises like calf raises are likely to put on muscle mass, not reduce it – only to make your muscles larger in appearance." }, { "docid": "D3253712#0", "title": "http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/the-big-show/weaning-feeder-calves-at-3-months-old/\nSteer Planet - Show Steers and Club Calves Forum", "text": "\"Author Topic: Weaning Feeder Calves at 3 months old?

By Heather Smith Thomas | Jun 22, 2012Sometimes weaning calves early can benefit both the pasture and cattle. Greg Lardy, North Dakota State University Animal Science Department head and professor, says early weaning can be an effective drought-management tool, as well as a way to save feed costs. “Early weaning’s big advantage is reducing lactation demands. A dry cow on drought-stressed forage has lower nutrient requirements. Early weaning can also help first-calf heifers, because two-year olds are still trying to grow. By weaning their calves early, nutrients are freed up for heifers to complete growth and have a healthy pregnancy,” Lardy says. Trey Patterson, chief operations officer for Padlock Ranch, Ranchester, WY, says they sometimes wean calves as early as four months old, mainly on first-calf heifers, but sometimes cows. “ It can be a strategy to manage body condition,” he explains, allowing females a chance to regain or not lose weight in the fall – especially in a dry year. Of course, the big issue with early weaning is what to do with the calves, Lardy says." }, { "docid": "D566009#0", "title": "http://www.wildernessclassroom.com/wilderness-library/moose/\nMoose", "text": "Moose By wildernessdave | Published: November 29, 2008Scientific Name: Alces alces Did you know that moose are the largest member of the deer family?

For example, most places in Missouri start with 3-4 acres per cow-calf pair for summer grazing. Q: How much hay do cattle need in the winter? A: Cows will eat 2% of their body weight in hay per day in the winter. You can figure that you are going to need to feed hay around 150 days per year. If your cow weighs 1,200 pounds, she will need 24 pounds of good quality hay for 150 days. So a good starting point would be to have 3,600 pounds of hay per cow per year.

Usually, in most cases when trying to increase weight on a bovine like a heifer or a bull, but do not want to feed so much that they are gaining weight too quickly, thus putting too much fat on them which would impede their breeding ability, then it's best to feed only 1% of their body weight per day, as-fed. This amount also goes for feeding cows (and I'm referring to those mature females that have had at least 2 calves) that are also needing to gain weight for the next calving, or are being fed grain because the hay is of poor quality and they are in need of supplementation; or that the cows simply cannot live off of hay or grass alone and require supplementation anyway--this depends on breed. Remember, when feeding grain to animals like those described in this paragraph, always make sure they have a roughage source as their main feed source. When feeding calves that are growing and being used for beef, like in pre-weaning operations or backgrounding operations, cattle should be fed corn at 2% of their body weight per day as an as-fed ration. This is so that it encourages higher weaning weights, boosts growth rates and ADG (average daily gain), and meets their energy and protein requirements so they can grow to healthy, \"\"soggy\"\" calves. Again, grain should not be fed in these types of operations as a sole food source; they should be fed hay or allowed to graze on pasture in addition to the grain supplementation." }, { "docid": "D2460019#0", "title": "https://www.fws.gov/refuge/arctic/carcon.html\nFrequently Asked Questions about Caribou", "text": "\"Wildlife & Habitat Mammals Birds Fish, Insects, etc. Wild Lands Frequently Asked Questions about Caribou This information is based on research listed in the partial bibliography of scientific research pertaining to the Refuge. Some specific references are noted within the text. Caribou Migration Caribou Biology Caribou Migration Why are some Porcupine Caribou herd calves born in Canada or the mountains? In spring the Porcupine caribou herd migrates hundreds of miles from winter ranges located south of the Brooks Range in Alaska, and from areas in Yukon Territory, to its traditional calving grounds on the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain and foothills. In years when there's deep snow on the winter range and along the migration routes, and when the spring snow melt is delayed by cold temperatures, caribou cows are delayed in reaching these preferred calving grounds. When this happens, the calves are born along the migration routes and on calving habitats in Canada. This happened in 1987, 2000 and 2001. Sometimes caribou are not delayed during the spring migration, but when they arrive at the edge of the foothills they find it is still covered by snow because cold temperatures have delayed snow-melt. In this case, the cow caribou give birth in snow free or partially snow free areas to the south, near or in the northern mountain valleys." }, { "docid": "D673168#0", "title": "http://www.yakbreeder.com/whyaks.html\n.", "text": "\"QUICK YAK LINKSYAKS FOR SALECOLOR OF YAKS & THEIR VALUEGOLDEN YAKYAK HISTORYYAK APPEARANCEYAK UNKEEPYAK GROWTH/MATURITYYAK CROSSBREEDINGYAK PRODUCTSWHY CHOOSE DELYAKSPRINTABLE PDF's WHYAKSExplore the Yak Faks™The alternative livestock of choice for the 21st century!For every Progressive cattleman, the Tibetan Yak is the most practical alternative livestock to explore.

Because corn and milk replacer are expensive as well, the price of baby calves to raise on a bottle are quite reasonable today. In fact, when we decided to raise a few calves this year, I was shocked at just how cheap they really are. We are raising calves for beef, and our first baby only cost $55. Back 20 some years ago, when I raised a lot of baby calves, I often paid as much as $150 for the same type of Holstein bull calf. Adult cattle, whether it is a milk cow or beef steer, cost a whole lot more, from $500 to $800 and up, so raising your own calf is a gradual, cheaper alternative. I’ve found that a calf bought in the fall requires little hay that first winter and then in the spring it can graze on free pasture. By late fall, you could butcher that young steer to avoid feeding hay over winter, giving you very tender baby beef. Of course, by wintering that steer again and pasturing him in the summer, you’ll gain a lot of meat. And that meat will taste more “beefy” than a younger animal." }, { "docid": "D1187481#0", "title": "https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow\nCattle", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Cow)navigation search Dairy cattle grazing (eating grass) in a field.

As cows continue to improve genetically, we must also improve nutrition and management to allow the cow to produce to her inherited potential. A good dairy feeding program must consider the quantity fed, the suitability of the feed and how and when the feeds are offered. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) Encouraging a cow to eat large amounts of feed is the key to productive and efficient milk production. Select feeds to ensure maximum intake. All the nutrients the cow requires for milk production (except water) are in the dry material of the feed. High dry matter intake (DMI) results in high nutrient intake and high milk yield. Table 1 gives the maximum total DMI (from roughage and grain mixture) that milking cows can eat in mid-to-late lactation. The table lists DMI as a % of body weight and in kg per day. A cow weighing 550 kg giving 30 kg milk can eat 3.7% of her body weight in DM daily or about 20.4 kg." }, { "docid": "D2580209#0", "title": "http://www.fao.org/Ag/AGP/agpc/doc/Publicat/PUB6/P604.htm\n.", "text": "Disadvantages· a separate pen must be constructed.· sometimes calves receive either too much or too little milk if the rightamount of milk is not left unmilked.· keeping several calves together in the same pen can increase the risk of sickness, and the calves which suck eachother when they are young can enter their first lactation with mastitis.4.2 Calf feeding If you are keeping calves penned away from the cows for part of each day, you should remember:· To allow the first milk (colostrum) to the calf during the first 24 hours. The calf should be allowed to have all that it wants. This is essential if is to remain healthy.· It is a good idea to keep some colostrum in the freezer. Sometimes a cow will die shortly after giving birth. The stored colostrum, even from another cow, can be thawed and fed to the calf and it is still useful several months after freezing.· Calves will begin to nibble grass or other forage material from the first day of birth It is important to allow them to do this if they are to develop their stomachs normally for eating grass.

A camp counselor is one of the hardest jobs out there. It is not all fun and games. Here is my list of the top 10 qualities you get when you hire someone who has been a camp counselor: A good communicator: Camp counselors have to be able to communicate well with children, parents, co-workers, and superiors. This is different from any other job because parents leave the most valuable thing in their lives with us, their child. At our camp they have about 10 minutes to speak to the counselors and feel confident in them before they leave their perfect child with them for two weeks. That 10-minute conversation is one that will have a lasting impact on that parent. THEY WILL CLING TO EVERY WORD! If a child is sick or homesick that same counselor is the one to call the parent to update them on the situation and ensure them that their baby is safe and being well cared for. A life-long learner: When someone works in a camp setting they learn that to be successful in camp and in life, they have to realize they have a lot to learn not only about camp and their campers but also about themselves." } ]

Jason first appeared in Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th as a minor character but has since made his way through 10 sequels and a remake. More notably being played by Kane Hodder in 4 of the sequels, Kane has helped to promote Jason and make him an Icon. Sporting a Hockey Mask and notably a Machete, Jason has become one of the most iconic and popular slashers in movie history alongside Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Leatherface. Contents [ show]Biography Edit Early life Edit Born in the small town of Crystal Lake on the 13th of June, 1946 to Elias [1] and Pamela Voorhees, Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, had an abnormally small brain [2] and large heart [1] and as such, was mentally disabled. Raising Jason on her own, Pamela kept the boy isolated from the community, not letting him attend school [3] and presumably educating him (or at least attempting to) in their home on the outskirts of Crystal Lake. In the summer of 1957, Pamela, unable (or possibly unwilling) to get a babysitter for Jason, resorted to bringing him to Camp Crystal Lake, where she worked as a cook. Jason as a child Bullied relentlessly by the campers due to his handicaps, Jason, trying to escape his tormentors, fell off a dock and into the lake, where he drowned due to the counselors who were supposed to be supervising the children being too preoccupied with having sex in the woods. Though Jason's body was never found, the camp briefly closed as a result, but reopened the next summer, only to be closed again when Pamela, mad with grief, murdered Barry and Claudette, the counselors she blamed for Jason's drowning. Pamela was never suspected of the murders and all subsequent attempts to open the camp ended in failure, presumably due to sabotage on Pamela's part, resulting in the camp being nicknamed \"\"Camp Blood\"\" by the locals, who came to believe the area was cursed.

The Plan Since its beginning days in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has been concerned with extending the Scouting program to boys in isolated areas or those who find it impossible to join a nearby Scouting unit. The Lone Scout plan serves such boys who cannot take part in a nearby Cub Scout pack or Boy Scout troop on a regular basis because of such factors as distance, weather, time, or disability. These boys apply for membership through participating local BSA Councils as individual Lone Cub Scouts or Lone Boy Scouts . Although the Lone Scout member might miss the opportunity to participate in activities in the pack or troop, the program makes it possible for such boys to become members of the Boy Scouts of America and to know the fun, values, and achievement of Scouting. Background The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain authorized this program in 1913. By then, Lone Scouts were found in Canada, New Zealand, Malta, Gibraltar, South Africa, and Burma. William D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher who helped organize the Boy Scouts of America in 1910, was responsible for organizing the Lone Scouts of America in 1915. The Lone Scouts of America and the Boy Scouts of America merged in 1924. Since then the Boy Scouts of America has administered a Lone Scout plan as part of its mission of bringing Scouting to all American youth who wish to take part, regardless of circumstances." }, { "docid": "D2471940#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/business-finance/much-soccer-coaches-paid-b583a796623a5b77\nHow Much Do Soccer Coaches Get Paid?", "text": "Business & Finance Careers Salaries Q: How Much Do Soccer Coaches Get Paid?

So, like many genetic counselors, I originally attended undergrad thinking I was going to become a physician. It wasn’t until after graduation that I learned about genetic counseling and decided to pursue it as a career. Genetic counseling appealed to me because it combines the communication and research components of healthcare that I desired with the cutting edge field of genetics. Genetic counseling has evolved over the 10 years I have been in the field, and will continue to change. I love that genetic counselors have the opportunity to grow our profession and make it all that it can be. At my institution, Sanford Health, I am the director for a large genetic counseling group that spans multiple states and institutions. Our group has expanded every year with virtually no end in sight.

Responding to increasing juvenile arrests, several states and localities established juvenile boot camps. Modeled after boot camps for adult offenders, the first camps emphasized military discipline and physical conditioning. In response to increases in juvenile crime and the high cost of traditional confinement, the number of boot camps for juvenile offenders has grown in the last several years. Concurrently, much has been learned about juvenile boot camps and about their effectiveness as an intermediate corrections option. In other words are boot camps \"\"maximizing their chances of developing an effective program to help steer juvenile offenders back onto the pathway to responsible citizenship\"\" (Austin, 1993)." }, { "docid": "D1075776#0", "title": "https://www.huffingtonpost.com/marjorie-hansen-shaevitz/post_9154_b_6865002.html\nSo You Want to Be a Counselor/Therapist?

This food group contains items like beef, chicken, fish, eggs, peanut butter, tofu, beans… If you have 3 servings of meat in a day, that will amount to about 65g of protein from that food group alone.

Hereditary hemochromatosis, which you'll also see written as haemochromatosis, affects men and women of northern European descent. In fact, according to the Irish Haemochromatosis Society, it's especially prevalent among Irish and other Celtic people.

Breakfast is eaten first thing in the morning to provide fuel for the day ahead. Unfortunately a lot of Canadians tend to be too rushed in the morning to give the meal much effort, and as a result it tends to be the most widely skipped or half-hearted meal. Traditional breakfast foods in Canada are cooked eggs, fried pork sausages or bacon, fried or deep-fried potatoes, toasted bread, pancakes (or egg-battered French Toast) and syrup, cereals, or hot oatmeal.

So where do Americans get this concept of \"\"Canadian Bacon\"\" from? Anybody who's traveled to the UK has probably had the experience of being served a \"\"Full English\"\" breakfast with a different sort of bacon made from the whole pork loin and brine cured rather than smoked. They sometimes call this Irish bacon even thought there's apparently nothing especially uniquely Irish about it. In fact, for a long time (with gaps) most pork sold in the UK came from Denmark. For a long time in English Canada most of the population were first or 2nd generation immigrants from the British Isles who brought with them their preference for this style of bacon as a breakfast meat. Somewhere along the line they started using only the eye of loin and the cut acquired a crust of ground split peas. Canadians call this bacon \"\"back bacon\"\" or \"\"peameal bacon\"\" in 50 years I've never heard a Canadian refer to this product as \"\"Canadian bacon\"\".

Water surrounds the meat delivering by osmosis salt and flavor into the meat. Some may argue that flavor molecules are too big to enter the meat, but my tasting experience says flavors of herbs definitively get into the meat. Brining basics are few: It’s best to weigh your salt so you know exactly how much you have. Make sure your brine is cool if not cold before you put the meat in. Always refrigerate your meat as it brines. Make sure your meat is completely submerged; some cuts want to float, in which case you’ll need to weigh the meat down.

More than 1000 species of frogs are found in the Amazon Basin. Unlike temperate frogs which are mostly limited to habitats near water, tropical frogs are most abundant in the trees and relatively few are found near bodies of water on the forest floor. The reason for this occurrence is quite simple: frogs must always keep their skin moist since almost half of their respiration in carried out through their skin. The high humidity of the rainforest and frequent rainstorms gives tropical frogs infinitely more freedom to move into the trees and escape the many predators of rainforest waters. The differences between temperate and tropical frogs extend beyond their habitat. Whereas nearly all temperate frogs lay their eggs in water, the majority of rainforest species place eggs in vegetation or lay them in the ground. By leaving the water, frogs avoid egg-predators like fish, shrimp, aquatic insects, and insect larvae. Among the best known of rainforest amphibians are the tiny, but brilliantly colored poison dart (arrow) frogs [members of the Dendrobatidae family].

While the loss, fragmentation, & modification of natural habitats are still the main drivers of biodiversity decline, particularly in the context of future climate change (1), studies on the impact of non-native species have recently demonstrated the significant impact they’re having on native biodiversity worldwide (2,3). While non-native predators such as cats are have a significant impact on fauna through hunting, other invasives may cause impacts in a less direct manner. Simple spatial competition is often a major factor. Invasive plants, for instance, are a major factor in biodiversity declines globally (4). As an example, the Water Hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes) from Brazil now occupies 50 countries and 5 continents, Australia included (5). Once established it can grow in thick mats, out-competing natives, obstructing water flow and choking waterways, obscuring sunlight while the rotting vegetation and roots decrease oxygen levels in the water, all dramatically reducing biodiversity (6). Locally, us south-east Queenslanders need only go for a short walk around almost any natural area, particularly near a roadway, to find dense, thorny, impenetrable thickets of Lantana camara (7).

Other studies have shown that some would-be toad predators have altered their diets to exclude toads, while others have evolved resistance to the cane toad toxin, Shine said. \"\" These studies tell us a lot about the evolutionary process,\"\" said Jonathan Losos, an evolutionary biologist at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. \"\" Invading species are a huge problem, and cane toads are a classic example of that,\"\" he added. \"\" But they also represent an inadvertent evolutionary experiment, the sort of experiment you couldn't [normally] conduct. \"\" Rules and regulations prohibit scientists from purposely confronting native species in the wild with a non-native competitor or predator to see how natural selection works, he explained." }, { "docid": "D1768479#0", "title": "http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/6295/0\nDasyurus hallucatus", "text": "Taxonomy [top]Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Chordata Mammalia Dasyuromorphia Dasyuridae Scientific Name: Dasyurus hallucatus Gould, 1842Common Name (s): English – Northern Quoll French – Chat Marsupial Du Nord Synonym (s): Satanellus hallucatus (Gould, 1842)Assessment Information [top]Red List Category & Criteria: Endangered A2ce+3ce+4ce ver 3.1Year Published: 2016Date Assessed: 2015-06-15Assessor (s): Oakwood, M., Woinarski, J. & Burnett, S.

Many people think it's a catastrophe when toads arrive - but what is the evidence? Surveys of public opinion often suggest that Australians see cane toads as the worst invasive species in this country – worse even than scourges like rabbits, foxes, cats, pigs, goats, camels and the like. It’s not obvious why people react so strongly to toads – a lot of it seems to be related to an emotional reaction – “YUK, THEY’RE DISGUSTING! !” It’s puzzling to people from other countries where toads of one kind or another are common native species (in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America). Perhaps because most other types of toads are much smaller than cane toads, plus the fact that the local toads “belong there”, these little warty animals often are regarded with affection. It’s hard to find that affection in Australia towards cane toads!Rachael Clark and her colleagues recently conducted surveys to ask the Australian public WHY they hate cane toads so much. Until then, all we had to go on was a general feeling from talking to lots of people about cane toads (taxi drivers, for example, almost always seem to have strong opinions about these animals!). And the main result to emerge from those conversations was the YUK factor – people just don’t like cane toads, full stop. Some people worry about domestic pets (especially small dogs, like terriers) being poisoned by cane toads – and this is indeed a very real problem not just in Australia but in other parts of the cane toad’s introduced range (for example, in Florida)." }, { "docid": "D2055036#0", "title": "http://www.mdavid.com.au/nature/canetoadstotreefrogs.shtml\nSometimes nature can surprise us.

The second part of the toad’s scientific name ( marinus , referring to a supposed ability to tolerate \"\"marine” conditions [saltwater]) is just a mistake by the early naturalists. These toads don’t tolerate saltwater well at all. But something very confusing has happened over the last few years. Some scientific papers no longer call the cane toad Bufo marinus – instead, it has become Rhinella marina . What’s going on? Well, one of the key things about science is that it is progressive – when something is found to be wrong, it gets changed. And researchers who studied the DNA of toads discovered that their evolutionary relationships could better be summarised by splitting up the genus ( Bufo) in which they were placed, into several smaller groups. Basically, Bufo was a huge group that included hundreds of species – we just didn’t know which of these animals were most closely related to which other ones.

We're talking about the kind of capers you eat!Throughout the Mediterranean and parts of Asia, you'll find Capparis spinosa, also known as the caper bush or Flinder's rose. It's a prickly plant that grows in dry areas. The unripened flower buds of this plant — called capers — have been used as a seasoning and flavorful part of recipes for over a thousand years. Its ripe fruit, known as caper berries, are also used for food. After farmers harvest the unripened buds, they dry them in the sun." } ]

They are actually unopened flower buds from a bush called \"\"Capparis Spinosa\"\", which is grown in Mediterranean countries and in California. The buds must be picked by hand each morning, as they have been for thousands of years, as they individually reach the proper size and readiness. Capers are usually dried in the sun, and then either dry-packed in salt, or pickled in brine or in white wine vinegar. Capers are graded by shaking them through a sieve. In order of size from smallest to largest, the grades are Nonpareille, Surfin, Capucine, Capote, Fine and Gruesos. The smallest ones -- the Nonpareilles -- are marketed as the most desirable and so will cost more. However, despite claims of smaller ones having a milder taste and aroma, there is little actual difference of flavour between any of the sizes. Capers are a useful addition to dishes because they neither absorb the taste of other ingredients, or influence the taste: instead, their self-contained taste explodes in the mouth when bitten into. Note that the salty taste for which capers are prized doesn't actually come from the bud itself; it comes from the pickling or salting process." }, { "docid": "D1896716#0", "title": "https://www.quickeasycook.com/what-do-capers-taste-like/\nWhat Do Capers Taste Like?

It’s usually found clinging and protruding from rocks, mountainsides, and out of cracks in walls and structures along the way. The caper bush is rarely cultivated but does add to the stability of weaker foundations and soil with its strong root formations. Capers can also be found growing in a number of other countries and islands along the Atlantic Ocean, Caspian Sea and Black Sea. And according to most botanists it most likely had its origins in drier regions of Central Asia. Ancient Greeks and Romans have cited the uses of the caper plant and its berries for centuries. Initially they used it for medicinal purposes and then capers became widely used in cooking. Interestingly enough capers contain a high amount of rutin, a well-known bioflavinoid and anti-oxidant. It appears the early Greeks and Romans had it right and its use well founded for medicinal use.

They’re picked when olive green and about the size of a pea. So, in essence, capers are the unripened buds of this plant but they’re referred to as berries. If they aren’t picked, they’ll blossom into a very pretty white (sometimes a blend of white and pink) flower with pink shoots. The caper’s history traces back more than 7500 years to modern day Iraq.

Stephen Jones • July 17, 2012 • 9 Comments Homemade Mayo is easy to make and tastes so much better than store bought. We all have our favorite brand of Mayonnaise. All you have to do is look at some of the comments on my blog post – What Mayonnaise Tastes Best to see how people react when it comes to this staple. And please go over and leave your comments. Whether it’s Hellman’s, Kraft’s Real Mayonnaise or one of the many other commercial brands available, there is no comparison when it comes to homemade. The color is a pale yellow compared to commercial white and the flavor is richer, deeper and just better than any commercial brand. Now I will give you a basic recipe for mayonnaise but I would rather you play around with the ingredients until you get your mayo to taste the way you like it and the consistency you prefer. All you need to make mayonnaise is egg yolk and oil, but most people add at least vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper for additional flavor. Think of mayonnaise as a neutral spread to which you can add almost any sort of flavoring, depending on what you’re serving it with. You might leave it plain for a chicken salad sandwich spread, or maybe you’ll stir in some minced chipotles in adobo for a Mexican kick." }, { "docid": "D63261#0", "title": "http://www.cooksinfo.com/anchovy\nAnchovy", "text": "\"Browse > Home > Encyclopedia > Fish > Anchovy Anchovy Anchovies are tiny silver fish, about 3 to 8 inches (7.5 to 20 cm) long, from the Mediterranean, especially the Basque area of Spain. Their lower jaw is shorter than their upper jaw. The fish are washed in a brine solution, then packed whole, heads and all, into large barrels and salted. They are allowed to cure like this for 6 to 8 months at room temperature, which develops the taste. Most Anchovies used to be sold at this stage, as Salted Anchovies, and some Anchovy fans say this is still the best to buy them, packed in the salt they were cured in. These dried whole ones are a bit more work in the kitchen, as you will want to remove any obvious bones. You can still buy these jarred or tinned, or loose at some delis. Some Anchovies are allowed to continue maturing past the 6 to 8 months, until they become soft and liquidy and are sold to makers of sauces such as Worcestershire sauces and Asian fish sauces. Most, however, at the end of these months of curing in salt, are refrigerated to stop the maturing process.

Greeks love the horiatiki, which means village in Greek. In the summer months it is present on most Greek tables at home and at the tavernes. It is basically a salad made with tomato, cucumber, olive oil, olives and feta and there are variations around Greece. For example on the islands another white soft cheese is used instead of feta cheese and in Crete there is the well-known dakos; tomato and feta (or other local white cheese) piled on a large barley rusk that has been soaked with a bit of water and olive oil. Before we go on with the recipe, we need to make some clarifications and correct some misconceptions. How to Make a Traditional Greek Salad Here are some rules of the Greek salad: There is no lettuce or any other leafy greens in the salad. The salad is not mixed before it is served. The feta cheese is not cut in cubes but rather a large piece is placed on top of the salad. The tomato and cucumber should be cut in fairly large pieces not small cubes." } ]

Flag What job does capillaries do? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels which allow only very few blood cells to get through at a time. When blood cells enter the capillaries, the oxygen and nutrients which are stored in hemoglobin in the blood diffuse into the body. The exhausted blood cells then enter back into larger vessels to join the bloodstream once again. The cycle goes something like this: Heart pumps blood --> blood cells pick up oxygen in alveoli in the lungs --> the heart pumps fresh blood through arteries to the body --> the arteries narrow down into capillaries in which aforementioned diffusion takes place --> capillaries grow back into veins which carry blood back to the heart and, ultimately, the lungs --> the process repeats. Many people confuse veins with arteries. A vein is defined as a blood vessel which carried blood to the heart. MOST veins carry de-oxygenated blood; but not all." } ]

It pushes water out of the capillaries. The water potential is created due to the ability of small solutes to pass through the walls of capillaries. This buildup of solutes induces osmosis. The water passes from a high concentration (of water) outside of the vessels to a low concentration inside of the vessels, in an attempt to reach an equilibrium. The osmotic pressure drives water back into the vessels. Because the blood in the capillaries is constantly flowing, equilibrium is never reached.

The pulmonary arteries and the aorta are the largest arteries (the aorta is as wide as a thumb!). Some arteries are named for the organ that they supply, such as the hepatic artery (liver) and the coronary arteries (heart). Others have special names, such as the carotid arteries that supply the head and brain. Arteries branch many times into smaller arteries and eventually into minute branches called arterioles. Arteries consist of an inner lining, one cell thick, called endothelium, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic tissue, and an outer layer that is mostly loose connective tissue, which holds the multilayered tube together. The muscle layer in arteries and arterioles is thick and the overall structure quite elastic, enabling these vessels to withstand greater blood pressure than can veins. Veins Veins and arteries are so similar that portions of veins are used to replace damaged arteries in coronary artery bypass surgery. Veins have the same three layers as arteries and are elastic, but they have a less-muscular middle layer, making their walls thinner.

The water is also used to carry dissolved nutrients throughout the plant. Most of the time, plants get their water from the ground. This means it has to transport the water from its roots up and throughout the rest of the plant.

Flag What do capillaries do? Answer by Clandora Confidence votes 505Capillaries are tiny blood vessels connecting the small arteries (arterioles) to the small veins (venules). The blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to all the individual cells in the body. The human capillary system is made up of arteries with their terminal branches (arterioles) and veins plus their tributaries (venules). Capillaries are the blood vessels that lead from the arterioles to the individual cells, and from the cells back to the venules. Capillaries have very thin walls with holes in them, so fluid and small molecules like sugar and waste can move in and out. This is the site where the actual exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients occurs. There are many important aspects of the human body. Capillaries are just as important as any other part in the body." } ]

This system provides a transport mechanism for oxygen through the body as a fuel source for cellular respiration, and then the return transport of carbon dioxide, a byproduct of cellular respiration, that the body expels as waste through breathing. It also provides for the transport of amino acids, nutrients, hormones, and the other components that make up blood. Cardiovascular diseases of varying sorts are among the leading causes of death in industrialized nations around the world. Understanding the importance of this system in providing the nutrients the body needs for survival is an important step in helping to reduce cardiovascular disease. Proper diet and exercise can help alleviate many of the problems associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Schematic showing both terrestrial and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide emissions from a coal-fired plant Carbon capture and storage ( CCS) (or carbon capture and sequestration or carbon control and sequestration [1]) is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO 2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO 2 into the atmosphere (from fossil fuel use in power generation and other industries). It is a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming [2] and ocean acidification. [ 3] Although CO 2 has been injected into geological formations for several decades for various purposes, including enhanced oil recovery, the long term storage of CO 2 is a relatively new concept. The first commercial example was the Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Project in 2000. [ 4] Other examples include Sask Power's Boundary Dam and Mississippi Power's Kemper Project. ' CCS' can also be used to describe the scrubbing of CO 2 from ambient air as a climate engineering technique. An integrated pilot-scale CCS power plant was to begin operating in September 2008 in the eastern German power plant Schwarze Pumpe run by utility Vattenfall, to test the technological feasibility and economic efficiency. CCS applied to a modern conventional power plant could reduce CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere by approximately 80–90% compared to a plant without CCS. [" } ]

The next challenge is to find uses for the captured gas. Courtesy of Global Thermostat Every year, people add 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the air, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That's contributing to climate change. A few scientists have been dreaming about ways to pull some of that CO 2 out of the air, but face stiff skepticism and major hurdles. This is the story of one scientist who's pressing ahead. Peter Eisenberger is a distinguished professor of earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University. Earlier in his career, he ran the university's famed Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and founded Columbia's Earth Institute.

( Discuss) Proposed since April 2018. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) refers to a number of technologies, the objective of which is the large-scale removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [ 1] Among such technologies are bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, biochar, ocean fertilization, enhanced weathering, and direct air capture when combined with storage. [ 1] CDR is a different approach than removing CO 2 from the stack emissions of large fossil fuel point sources, such as power stations. The latter reduces emission to the atmosphere but cannot reduce the amount of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. As CDR removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it creates negative emissions, offsetting emissions from small and dispersed point sources such as domestic heating systems, airplanes and vehicle exhausts. [ 2] [3] It is regarded by some as a form of climate engineering, [1] while other commentators describe it as a form of carbon capture and storage or extreme mitigation. [ 4] Whether CDR would satisfy common definitions of \"\"climate engineering\"\" or \"\"geoengineering\"\" usually depends upon the scale on which it would be undertaken. The likely need for CDR has been publicly expressed by a range of individuals and organizations involved with climate change issues, including IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri, [5] the UNFCCC executive secretary Christiana Figueres, [6] and the World Watch Institute.

It is an unusual solid as it sublimes (turning from solid to gas without going through the liquid state). Solid carbon dioxide has weak forces (van der Waals) between molecules which holds them together. This is why it has a very low melting point 217 K (-56°C) at 5.2 atmospheres.

The technology, carbon capture, involves pulling carbon dioxide out of smokestacks and industrial processes before the climate-altering gas can make its way into the atmosphere. Mr. Trump’s denial of the overwhelming scientific evidence supporting climate change, a view shared by many of his cabinet nominees, might appear to doom any such environmental initiatives. But the new Petra Nova plant about to start running here, about 30 miles southwest of Houston, is a bright spot for the technology’s supporters. It is being completed essentially on time and within its budget, unlike many previous such projects.

The main natural sinks are (1) the oceans and (2) plants and other organisms that use photosynthesis to remove carbon from the atmosphere by incorporating it into biomass. This concept of CO2 sinks has become more widely known because of its role in the Kyoto Protocol. Carbon sequestration is the term describing processes that remove carbon from the atmosphere. To help mitigate global warming, a variety of means of artificially capturing and storing carbon -- as well as of enhancing natural sequestration processes -- are being explored. Natural sinks Forests Carbon is incorporated into forests and forest soils by trees and other plants. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store the carbon in sugars, starch and cellulose, and release the oxygen into the atmosphere. A young forest, composed of growing trees, absorbs carbon dioxide and acts as a sink. Mature forests, made up of a mix of various aged trees as well as dead and decaying matter, may be carbon neutral above ground." }, { "docid": "D1553016#0", "title": "http://www.geotimes.org/nov07/article.html?id=WebExtra111207.html\nFiresâ carbon contribution", "text": "\"Web Extra Monday, November 12, 2007Fires’ carbon contribution Wolfgang Hoffman A team led by Tom Gower examined the extent of fire damage in Manitoba from 1948 through 2005 to determine both what factors were influencing fires and how much carbon dioxide was being emitted from the fires. Researchers have long wondered what role forests play in the carbon cycle — whether forest fires produce more carbon dioxide than the trees capture. Now, two recent studies say that the matter is not that straightforward: The relationship between forests and carbon dioxide emissions is complex, researchers say, and scientists must convey that complexity to policymakers who are considering carbon dioxide mitigation and forest policies. Both studies suggest, however, that fires can release more carbon into the atmosphere than the forest can capture and that this may be a growing problem. When much of Southern California was burning in late October, one of the questions that arose was how much carbon dioxide those fires were sending into the atmosphere. Every year, fires burn 3 million to 4 million square kilometers of Earth’s land surface area, and release more than a billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. However, massive old-growth northern latitude forests are also considered a carbon \"\"sink,\"\" because older trees are repositories of decades or centuries of carbon and because the heavy canopy they produce blocks sunlight from reaching the forest floor and decomposing the forest litter. In the natural system, after a fire, new vegetation moves into the burned land and over time reabsorbs much of the carbon dioxide that the fire had released. Such new vegetation stores the carbon as organic matter. For this reason, some people have suggested planting trees as a way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere." }, { "docid": "D3009852#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthate\nPhotosynthesis", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Photosynthate)navigation search Schematic of photosynthesis in plants.

As this realization continues to sink in, the political will may ripen to take more aggressive action to put a brake CO 2 emissions. Already, President Obama, who had remained mostly silent on the issue during his reelection campaign, has made it clear that tackling climate change will be among his top second-term priorities. But the fact remains that even if the entire world switched magically to 100 percent solar and other non-polluting power sources tomorrow, it’s too late to roll back some of the impacts of climate change. The current level of carbon dioxide in the air is already well beyond what scientists regard as the safe threshold.

It can come from appliances such as a gas burning stove, vehicles, and oil burning lamps. Because it is something that cannot be seen, heard or smelled, people often are not aware of it when it becomes a threat. This can cause a number of problems that may even lead to death. It is important for people to understand what carbon monoxide is and what it can do to the body. In addition, due to its silent but deadly nature, it is crucial that everyone in a home knows how to detect the signs of elevated carbon monoxide and knows what must be done in the event of exposure. What is Carbon Monoxide? Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that can be found in the home, garage or in work places. It comes from the incomplete burning of materials that contain carbon or natural gas.

This type of equipment is used to detect a gas leak or other emissions and can interface with a control system so a process can be automatically shut down. A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion. This type of device is used widely in industry and can be found in locations, such as on oil rigs, to monitor manufacture processes and emerging technologies such as photovoltaic. They may be used in firefighting. Gas leak detection is the process of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by sensors.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, poisonous gas, which can be generated by gas furnaces and water heaters, ranges, space heaters, or wood stoves if they are malfunctioning or not vented properly. Cars, portable generators, and gas-powered gardening equipment also generate carbon monoxide and can cause problems if they are operated in enclosed areas or attached garages. Once inhaled, carbon monoxide inhibits the blood's ability to carry oxygen by replacing oxygen in the red blood cells, preventing the oxygen supply from reaching the organs in the body. This oxygen deprivation can cause varying amounts of damage depending on the level of exposure. Low level exposure can cause flu-like symptoms including shortness of breath, mild headaches, fatigue, and nausea. Higher level exposure may cause dizziness, mental confusion, severe headaches, nausea, and fainting. Prolonged high level exposure can cause death. According to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 2,500 people will die and 100,000 will be seriously injured by carbon monoxide over the next 10 years.

Everyone wants to protect their homes and by law, any facility used for a commercial purpose must protect those that work inside it, but there is often some confusion as to the difference between a fire alarm and a smoke alarm. Well, the clue really is in the title. One detects smoke, and the other detects fire. But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, so both are equally important.

It is produced as a common byproduct of the combustion (burning) of fossil fuels. Most fuel-burning equipment (natural gas, gasoline, propane, fuel oil and wood), if properly installed and maintained, produces little carbon monoxide. The byproducts of combustion are usually safely vented to the outside. If there is a shortage of oxygen to the burner of an appliance or piece of equipment, however, or venting is inadequate, carbon monoxide can increase to dangerous levels. Common sources of carbon monoxide include gasoline engines running in closed garages, fuel-burning space heaters or water heaters with improper venting and blocked chimneys or vent pipes. If you breathe in carbon monoxide, it enters your bloodstream and robs oxygen from blood cells. This is called carbon monoxide poisoning.

Remember that carbon monoxide can be emitted from a variety of sources, from furnaces, and carbon based materials and fuels, to car exhausts and even refrigerators. It is therefore very likely that everyone has something in the home or office that could cause carbon monoxide pollution to some degree. If you start to experience flu-like symptoms, it is always worth getting yourself checked out.

In warm seasons they also eat insects and worms and feed their babies mainly an insectivore diet. They will eat suet in the winter if it is located near a perch such as a deck rail or tree branch or on the ground where they can comfortably feed from it. They don't seem to hang like woodpeckers do on the cage suet feeders. They also are opportunistic and I have personally seen them eating dry cat food that I have put out for some feral cats.

There are three “true” cardinals belonging to the genus Cardinalis, although birds from the same family but a different genus are often referred to as cardinals. These birds have strong bills for eating seeds, and also display distinct differences in coloration between the sexes. Most cardinals are plentiful and not endangered in the wild, though some species are becoming threatened. Vermilion Cardinal Of all the members of genus Cardinalis, this bird lives farthest south. It is endemic to the dry scrub deserts and subtropical areas along the northern coast of South America, particularly those in Venezuela and Columbia. Its song, sung by males in the early mornings to mark territory, is very similar to that of the northern cardinal. Vermilions have the brightest plumage of all cardinals; the male is a bright rose-red, and possesses the longest spiky crest common to all cardinals. Northern Cardinal According to the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, the male northern cardinal is responsible for more people becoming birdwatchers than any other bird.

Many species of birds such as robins, scrub jays, crows and owls leave the nest and spend as many as 2-5 days on the ground before they can fly. This is a normal and vital part of the young birds' development. While they are on the ground, the birds are cared for and protected by their parents and are taught vital life skills (finding food, identifying predators, flying). Taking these birds into captivity denies them the opportunity to learn skills they will need to survive in the wild.

Many species winter in Central and South America but fly north to breed in the United States and Canada. Combined with the resident birds that also breed here, it's not surprising that nearly everyone who spends time outdoors finds a baby bird. For most of us, our first reaction is to adopt this seemingly helpless creature. Usually, however, the young bird doesn't need our help at all. The Nesting Cycle As the length of daylight increases and the sun begins to melt the frozen northern hemisphere, there is a profound effect on the physiology of birds. Migratory birds grow restless, sex hormones flow, reproductive organs increase in size. Males proclaim their breeding territories with conspicuous displays and loud songs. Pair bonds are formed (or re-established) between a male and female that may last only a few minutes or for life, depending on the species.

It’s a true statement, for the most part, but it’s only part of the story. Lots of monogamous bird species cheat, and some “divorce”—but at rates much lower than humans. About 90 percent of bird species are monogamous, which means a male and a female form a pair bond. But monogamy isn’t the same as mating for life. A pair bond may last for just one nesting, such as with house wrens; one breeding season, common with most songbird species; several seasons, or life. Social monogamy seems to be more common than sexual monogamy. Social monogamy refers to the male bird’s role in parenting. In most songbird species, the male defends a nest and territory, feeds his incubating mate, brings food to nestlings and feeds young fledglings. In some species, especially when the male and female look alike, the male will even incubate eggs." }, { "docid": "D566496#0", "title": "http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/eagle/NestingPhenology.html\n.", "text": "\"Home Projects News Maps Sightings Educators Registration Bald Eagle Home Facts Resources Report Maps Kids Bald Eagle Nesting Phenology In order to have Bald Eagles in the future, Bald Eagles living today have to reproduce.

Some pairs may approach nesting in a different way than others, but it's hard to be sure. Scientists have observed some mating behaviors on wintering grounds, but have also seen some males and females start courting in breeding areas. Females seem to be the ones who choose the territory and the nesting tree, because when a female loses her mate, she usually very quickly attracts a new male, even if she's already sitting on eggs fertilized by her first mate. Both the male and female bring nesting materials; some eagle researchers believe it's the female who usually places the sticks in the nest." }, { "docid": "D717445#0", "title": "http://www.10000birds.com/titmouse.htm\n.", "text": "What is a Titmouse? September 18, 2012 Mike Birds 47 Comments Few American birds have the publicity problems of the titmouse. Even though they are numerous, if not downright gregarious throughout most of their range, despite the fact that the Tufted Titmouse is consistently one of the top ten most frequently reported species in the Great Backyard Bird Count, titmice lack the popularity of other common birds like cardinals, jays, doves, crows, or even their close cousins, chickadees. Why is this adorable, doll-eyed songbird so often ignored? Tufted Titmouse by Mike Bergin Perhaps it has to do with the name. A bird in the genus Baeolophus is neither a mouse nor…the other thing. The word titmouse descends from the Old English terms, tit (any small animal or object) and mase (small bird), essentially meaning one small, small bird. Though there is nothing inherently prurient about this critter’s cognomen, it’s within the realm of possibility that even the mere utterance of it inspires twittering and naughty feelings in some individuals, and is thus best avoided. It is worth pointing out that titmice belong to the family Paridae, an expansive international clan made up primarily of what we call “chickadees” in the states but are known as “tits” in the Old World.

I believe weaning to be the most difficult part of the hand-feeding process. This transition period is the time when a chick becomes more independent and begins eating on his own. Weaning is a normal physiological response and a stressful time for both the bird and the one who feeds him. When is it time to begin weaning? What a loaded question!

In many altricial species--as in the Eastern Tufted Titmouse above--fledglings temporarily retain colored target zones that change to gray or white or even black as the youngster matures.

Most are in the Arctic and subarctic, as little land area in the Antarctic is ever free of snow and ice (see figure ).

One of the largest members of the ant family, carpenter ants take their name from their habit of chewing passageways (called \"\"galleries\"\") inside wood.

This is because ants only fly - or even have wings - when they are getting ready to breed. In the summer, the flying ant may be a species that lives outdoor and simply got inside through an open door or through another gap or crack. But during the winter, particularly in colder areas of the country, ants are not living and breeding in the open outdoors. So if flying ants are seen in the home in the winter, it is most likely that it is an ant that is living within the structure of your home, and, worse, it is very likely that there is a carpenter ant nest within the structure. Differences Between Ants and Termites Carpenter ants are very common across the U. S. but are often confused with termites. Some carpenter ants are much larger than termites.

That can include other ants, dead insects, parts of dead animals, grains, fruits and vegetables. Specific ant species do have preferences, though. Grease ants like protein-based food, but they'll chow down on other types of nourishment if fatty foods aren't available. Some ant species like fungus, while other ants love sweets. Ants need food for fuel just like humans, and require a diet of proteins, carbs and lipids in varying quantities. They're kind of like mammals in that way.

Mix 50% icing sugar with 50% baking soda and set it under a jar lid in the garden where the bugs are. They eat it up and get gas. Since insects can't 'pass gas', they pop!To get to the nest, you need a little borax mixed in with some sugared water (or syrup) which is what liquid ant bait destroyer is. The ants take it up and bring it to the nest to feed the queen. It should kill the whole colony in one season.

DISTRIBUTIONWorldwide DAMAGESome species of ants, such as fire ants, can inflict a painful sting. One species, Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius), in Hawaii belongs to this group of ants and can be a serious nuisance in recreational areas (parks, school grounds, etc.). Ants in Hawaii are primarily a nuisance in and around the home and do not cause serious damage. This is particularly true of the Hawaiian carpenter ant which is very much unlike its wood-eating Pacific Northwest relatives. BIOLOGYAnts are social insects, like honey bees and termites; they have distinct caste members within the colony. Each caste performs very specialized duties that contribute to the function and survival of the colony. Primitive species are solitary and live in small colonies, while colonies of more advanced species may contain thousands of individuals. Typically, an ant colony will contain one or more wingless, egg-laying females (queens), winged virgin females, winged males, wingless sterile female workers, and soldier. Adult ants, workers and reproductives do not eat solid food." }, { "docid": "D409404#0", "title": "https://www.orkin.com/ants/carpenter-ant/carpenter-ant-identification-how-to-identify-a-carpenter-ant/\nCarpenter Ant Identification", "text": "Carpenter Ant Identification Carpenter ants are common sights in the Americas, Europe and other parts of the world. Because carpenter ants cause damage to wooden areas where they nest, their presence can be mistaken for a termite infestation. However, while termites eat wood, carpenter ants merely make galleries in wooden areas for shelter. All species of carpenter ants prefer decayed wood for their nesting sites, as these areas provide proper and consistent humidity and temperatures. Although carpenter ants do not eat wood, damage can be severe when nests remain active for several years. Over time, a colony can expand into several satellite colonies near the parent colony. Workers excavate wood for extra space, causing extensive damage to structures and woodwork. There are 24 pest species of carpenter ants in the United States alone. For this reason, carpenter ant identification can be difficult. Size and color of carpenter ants can vary among species and even among individuals within one colony." } ]

Carpenters specialize in building or repairing indoor and outdoor wood structures and frames. While you don't necessarily need a formal education to become a carpenter, many complete a two-year technical degree program. Much of the learning experience comes through a hands-on apprenticeship, where you spend more than 2,000 hours with a master carpenter in technical and on-the-job training. Carpenter pay varies based on experience, location and employment type. Average Pay The average salary of all carpenters as of May 2012 was $44,520 a year, or $21.41 hourly, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the high end, the top 10 percent of carpenters earned $34.90 per hour or more. The lowest 10 percent of income earners made $11.96 or less per hour. the median wage was $19.20 an hour. The BLS also noted that apprenticeship pay is often 30 percent to 50 percent less than full professional carpenter pay." } ]

It doesn’t matter if they are a small builder or sub with three employees or contractors doing fifty-million dollars or more in revenues – MOST do not have a clear understanding of what constitutes Labor Burden, how to calculate it, and what their true labor costs are for their individual employees. Another misconception is that you should only be concerned with employees wearing tools who are building things and working in the field. Sorry, Folks, but that’s not how this works. It may mean that you may start each day losing money, and I’m not talking about a few dollars here or there. I’m talking about up to or over one dollar; for every dollar you pay to your employees, you might be throwing away another dollar. Since employee compensation and related costs are often the largest and riskiest cash outlays for a business, it is imperative that you understand what your true labor costs are. The good news is that you don’t have to be an accountant or CPA to calculate your basic Labor Burden. It’s easier than you might think, and I guarantee you that you will be amazed at the results if you have never run the numbers. Stick with me here because even though this may sound complicated, it’s not, and even though it will appear like something you will have to pay your accountant hundreds of dollars to do – it’s really pretty simple and thoroughly explained in the following example of how labor costs ultimately affect the bottom line." }, { "docid": "D3353890#0", "title": "https://www.bobvila.com/articles/678-being-your-own-general-contractor/\nBeing Your Own General Contractor", "text": "Managing Construction Being Your Own General Contractor You may have some sleepless nights, but being your own general contractor can help ensure you get exactly what you want. By Bob Vila Photo: shutterstock.com There is no mystery to being a general contractor, though some skills with people, finances, and general good sense are required. For someone who has never done it, a willingness to ask questions, some of which may seem elementary or even silly, is necessary. And a knack for solving problems is certainly helpful. I wouldn’t recommend that a novice act as his or her own contractor if the job is large—say, a new house or a large addition—but an interior remodeling of moderate size can be quite manageable. Yet that still begs the real question: It isn’t Can I do it? It’s Should I do it? The best argument for trying to be your own contractor is the payoff. Contractors are, after all, in business to make a profit, so adding 20 or 30 percent to the cost of materials and labor as profit is perfectly reasonable. If you are your own GC, you don’t have to pay anyone that percentage." }, { "docid": "D1662109#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambalaya_%28On_the_Bayou%29\nJambalaya (On the Bayou)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

You must have the necessary knowledge and skills to start a successful carpentry business. But, if you possess these skills, a carpentry business is an attractive option because many carpenters work alone, or with only a helper, therefore reducing labor costs. To run a successful small carpentry business, you must know how to estimate carpentry job.1. Determine what services your client needs. For example, your client might want to remodel his kitchen, add an addition to his home or finish his basement. Inform the client that you will need additional information before you can provide an estimate. Do not use a flat rate for each service because it is not cost effective. For example, charging a flat rate to remodel a kitchen can prove problematic as every kitchen remodel is different -- like a 70 square foot kitchen versus a 225 square foot kitchen. You could also be agreeing to various different services in a remodel, such as demolition and hauling.2." }, { "docid": "D3014699#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080126210211AACfz2z\nHow good do firefighters get paid??", "text": "\"Politics & Government Law Enforcement & Police How good do firefighters get paid? ? or do they get paid at all?

By the way, some volunteers DO get paid, and it varies largely depending on whether or not they are Fire I or Fire II or both certified, whether or not they are an EMT, Paramedic, a full time Firefighter and they just volunteer on the side, etc. It's not much, mind you, but it does happen. As for full timers, it varies greatly also depending on much of the same criteria above as well as what state and city you are talking about. It could range anywhere from $30-75 thousand per year depending on your job (there are different jobs among firemen) and experience. Some chiefs especially in big cities like Charlotte, NC or New York, NY can make upwards of $150 thousand per year. The benefits are second to none as well.

Age is the primary determining factor in Medicare eligibility, though some individuals who do not meet the age limit can obtain Medicare as well. Eligible participants can take advantage of a number of Medicare services. Age Eligibility Under normal circumstances, individuals who are age 65 and older can receive Medicare benefits. Sixty-five-year-olds are eligible for Medicare if they can or do receive Social Security or railroad retirement benefits, if the individual or his spouse worked in a government job long enough that he paid Medicare taxes or if the individual is the dependent parent of a deceased child who was fully insured. Age Exceptions Some individuals under 65 can receive Medicare benefits depending on their health condition. An individual who has been on Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months can receive Medicare benefits, no matter her age. Individuals or widows over the age of 50 or individuals who worked for the government, paid Medicare taxes and meet disability requirements are also eligible.

Inch worms measure about 1 cm. in length, and can be pale green, reddish-green, dark brown or black. The head is pale to dark green, and is frequently covered with black spots. Pale lines run down the length of the body, and a dark stripe runs down the back. Inch worms have three pairs of “true legs” at the front of their bodies, and two or three pairs of prolegs (appendages extending from the abdomen) at the rear. They have no appendages at the middle, and move by drawing their rear ends forward while extending their front section and holding on with their prolegs. An inchworm’s body is smooth and hairless, and many species have projections on their bodies that help them mimic flowers, twigs or foliage.

Bees collect pollen as a protein source to raise their brood. For the plant, the pollinizer, this can be an important mechanism for sexual reproduction, as the pollinator distributes its pollen. Few flowering plants self-pollinate; some can provide their own pollen (self fertile), but require a pollinator to move the pollen; others are dependent on cross pollination from a genetically different source of viable pollen, through the activity of pollinators. One of the possible pollinators to assist in cross-pollination are honeybees. The article below is mainly about the pollen source from a beekeeping perspective. The pollen source in a given area depends on the type of vegetation present and the length of their bloom period. What type of vegetation will grow in an area depends on soil texture, soil p H, soil drainage, daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, extreme minimum winter temperature, and growing degree days. The plants listed below are plants that would grow in USDA Hardiness zone 5. A good predictor for when a plant will bloom and produce pollen is a calculation of the growing degree days." }, { "docid": "D3343427#0", "title": "http://www.gardenguides.com/129639-old-black-walnut-tree-before-produces-nuts.html\nBlack Walnut Trees", "text": "Black Walnut Trees Facts About the Black Walnut Tree Where to Plant Black Walnut Trees in Texas How to Make Dry Black Walnut Powder Trees to Plant Near a Black Walnut How Old Will a Black Walnut Tree Be Before it Produces Nuts?

If the earthworm lives in a thriving environment and free from most predators, it is not uncommon for earthworms to live up to 10 years or more. Earthworms play an important part in our environment. They help trees, plants, vegetables and fruits thrive through their work. Earthworms aerate the soil. When they burrow through the soil, earthworm tunnels allow air in to help plant roots breathe.

[ 1] It is best represented in the tropics, but species are found in every region. [ 2] They are moderate to large in size and are distinguished among moths for their rapid, sustained flying ability. [ 2] Their narrow wings and streamlined abdomens are adaptations for rapid flight. Some hawk moths, such as the hummingbird hawk-moth or the white-lined sphinx, hover in midair while they feed on nectar from flowers, so are sometimes mistaken for hummingbirds. This hovering capability is only known to have evolved four times in nectar feeders: in hummingbirds, certain bats, hoverflies, and these sphingids [3] (an example of convergent evolution ). Sphingids have been much studied for their flying ability, especially their ability to move rapidly from side to side while hovering, called 'swing-hovering' or 'side-slipping'. This is thought to have evolved to deal with ambush predators that lie in wait in flowers. [ 3]Sphingids are some of the faster flying insects; some are capable of flying at over 5.3 m/s (12 miles per hour).

It has a trunk up to 1 m diameter, with brown to gray bark maturing into hard plates or ridges. The leaves are deciduous, opposite (or whorled), large, heart shaped, 20–30 cm long and 15–20 cm broad, pointed at the tip and softly hairy beneath. The leaves generally do not color in autumn before falling, instead, they either fall abruptly after the first hard freeze, or turn a slightly yellow-brown before dropping off. The catalpa tree is the last tree to grow leaves in the spring. The winter twigs of northern catalpa are like those of few other trees, having sunken leaf scars that resemble suction cups. Their whorled arrangement (three scars per node) around the twigs is another diagnostic." } ]

what do catalpa worms eat
[ { "docid": "D1954574#0", "title": "http://www.allaboutworms.com/catalpa-worms\nCatalpa Worms", "text": "Catalpa Worms May 28, 2007Catalpa worms, also known as catawbas, are the caterpillar stage of the Sphinx moth. They attack catalpa trees and are recognized pests in many areas. However, catalpa worms are prized as catfish bait and some growers nurture trees just for harvesting and sales to fishermen. Like many other caterpillars, catalpas spend the winter underground in the pupae stage. Generally, the soil around catalpa trees will be prime nursery territory. As spring nears, or temperatures are warming, adults emerge to mate. Females deposit eggs in a mass on the leaves’ undersides, abandoning their young afterward. A week later, up to 1,000 eggs can hatch from a single adult. In this stage, catalpas are recognized by a horn-like spike at the rear. For about three weeks, the catalpa worms feed and grow, moving from leaf to leaf in a solid wave of defoliation." } ]

( The Birmingham News) The full moon that Alabamians will see in three days will hardly raise an eyebrow with most people, but for the state's dedicated bream fishermen it will be a much-anticipated moment. The first full moon in May traditionally triggers the first bluegill spawn of the year. That means the fish that pound-for-pound is the toughest fighter in state waters will be easy to find and easy to catch. Alabama's best-tasting fish will be heading to fishermen's freezers by the thousands in upcoming days. Most Alabama fishermen are so deep into bass fishing they have probably forgotten the joy of catching the fish that was likely the first fish they ever caught. There are still plenty of sustenance fishermen in the state, however, who wouldn't trade you a single bluegill for 100 bass. Bluegill can be caught year-round, of course, but spawning time is prime time. The common sunfish will go on bed with every full moon beginning this week until September.

He didn’t know the name of the tree but when he described the heart shaped leaves I knew he had himself a catalpa tree or catawba tree as it is also called. As a child I used to think the tree came from the next county over because of its name and I always wondered how it got here. But, I was taught at an early age that it was a valuable tree that any fisherman would love to have in his own yard. The catalpa tree (Catalpa bignoniodes) is native to the southern U. S. and is a nice ornamental with large, heart shaped leaves. The catalpa worm shows up in mid-summer and can only be found on the catalpa tree.

It’s true that these types of baits do work in certain regions of the U. S. but that’s just because, all catfish are opportunist and won’t pass up a free meal. But actually, catfish consume much of their daily diet from live baitfish and invertebrates that are natural to their environment. To be a successful catfish angler, you must first determine the species you will be targeting in the region in which you’re fishing and then select a bait that will be desired by the targeted species. On this page, we will concentrate on the catfish baits commonly used for the following three species of catfish, the channel catfish, the blue catfish, and the flathead catfish but first we want to give you a brief background of each type. CHANNEL CATFISH DESCRIPTION Channel catfish are one of the most well know to the masses and is the most common sought after catfish by catfish anglers. The channel catfish in habitats a large portion of the U. S. They live from the northern states all the way into the southern states, And from the East coast to the West Coast with the exception of only a few areas. The channel catfish color can vary in color, depending on the water conditions it in habits, but most will start out with bluish gray with almost silver sides with small black dots. The color will change as it matures. Some larger channel catfish will be mistaken for a blue catfish however the anal fin on the channel catfish is much shorter than the blue catfish, and the tail has a deep fork in it." }, { "docid": "D3400265#0", "title": "http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/what-does-shoulder-season-mean-to-you.2910/\nWhat Does Shoulder Season Mean to You?", "text": "\"Home Forums > The Wood Shed > The Wood Pile >Dismiss Notice Calendars are now available to EVERYONE.

I’d wondered about them for years, and figured they were something planted by a homeowner years ago, for whatever reason. I got a partial explanation from a friend of ours who grew up on that block and still lives there–that rare bird, a Berkeley native of about my advanced age. He said that that part of Grant Street used to be lined with magnolias; the catalpas, another emblem of the Southeast, therefore fit right in. And yes, they were evidently planted by the person who owned the house they’re in front of. Catalpas are handsome trees that get big—50 to 90 feet—and look splendid in a meadow, in their native home. There are a couple of species back east, Catalpa speciosa, called “northern” or “western” catalpa, and the “southern,” C. bignoniodes. They’re quite similar, with leaf size and flower color being the visible differences and with considerable overlap in those. Some catalpas’ blossoms look pale lavender overall, though classically they’re white with purple freckles in their long throats.

Catfish are a very diverse group of fish, and they exhibit great diversity in their feeding behaviors. While many species are scavengers or herbivorous, a few species grow into gigantic behemoths, that are capable of swallowing fish and other large prey whole. Diversity in the Deep The nearly 2,900 living catfish species comprise one of the most species-rich vertebrate orders in the world -- the order Siluriformes. Worldwide, approximately one out of every four freshwater fish and one out of every 20 vertebrates is a catfish of some type. Catfish vary greatly in terms of size; the giant European wels (Silurus glanis) may exceed 15 feet in length, while some small forms -- known as banjo catfishes (Aspredinidae) -- mature at less than an inch in length. Differential Diets Most catfish species have small eyes and primarily find food by using their barbells, sense of smell and sense of taste. Most species are omnivorous and consume a wide variety of foods -- typical catfish eat things like other fish, invertebrates, aquatic plants and fish eggs. However, some catfish, such as some species in the family Loricariidae, specialize on strange foods, such as wood and algae. Other catfish are parasitic and feed on the blood of other fish." } ]

In a rigorous analysis of a nationwide data set that included 46 blue catfish populations, 125 channel catfish populations and 44 flathead catfish populations, fisheries scientist Andrew Rypel found that blue catfish, as expected, grew faster in warmer climates. But Rypel’s analysis also found the growth of channel catfish and flathead catfish was not significantly related to temperature. All catfish — blues, channels and flatheads — are warm-water fish that begin active feeding and rapid growth when water temperatures climb above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, while faster growth of blue catfish in Southern climates than in northern climates was expected, the failure to find faster growth of channel catfish and flathead catfish in the South was surprising. Rypel suggested that food supply and the density of fish sharing the forage might have overshadowed the effect of temperature. This is likely because food supply commonly limits the growth of all fishes. Unfortunately, data was not available to include food supply in the statistical analyses that tested factors affecting catfish growth. Habitat also can affect growth. How catfish growth is affected by habitat is an interesting question because all three catfish do well in standing water (lakes, reservoirs and ponds) or flowing water (rivers and streams)." }, { "docid": "D661138#0", "title": "http://www.gameandfishmag.com/fishing/catfish/10-secret-catfish-baits-didnt-know/\n10 Secret Catfish Baits You Didnât Know About", "text": "Fishing Fishing Tips and Tactics Tips & Tactics10 Secret Catfish Baits You Didn’t Know Aboutby Anietra Hamper | April 2nd, 2015 36 Comments We all have our “swear by” bait for catfish.

While none of these baits are breaking news, we like them because they work. On occasion, we run out of the tried-and-true favorites and must resort to whatever is available. Experimenting with items we can throw on the hook just out of curiosity is also part of the fun. I’ve run into anglers who have turned to all kinds of odd items on a whim for bait like KFC’s potato wedges, cooked turkey tails, freezer-burned salmon roe chunks, Starburst, moldy Swiss cheese, chicken drumsticks, scented candles, Big John’s baked beans, stale blueberry glazed doughnuts, Slim Jim’s, goldfish and jelly beans.

Photo via Camera Corner Catching any kind of fish begins with putting baits where the fish are — that includes catfish baits. That simple fact acknowledged, an angler’s offerings also must appeal to the fish. For many species of game fish, lure sizes, shapes, movements and colors, and types of presentations all figure prominently into the equation of making an offering appealing. For catfish, which feed mostly by smell and taste, it is all about using the right kind of bait. Of course, different species and sizes of cats prefer different kinds of meals, and some offerings lend themselves better to specific styles of catfishing than do others. Also, catfish are just like other kinds of fish — and people for that matter — in the sense that their preferences vary from day to day. One day’s hot catfish bait commonly may not yield much the next day, with no obvious change in conditions. With that in mind, you are wise to set the table with at least a couple of different kinds of baits and allow the cats to dictate their preferences.

One of the most common questions is about the best catfish bait to use for catfishing. Several years ago while sifting through questions that had been sent in by email I realized that there was one question that was asked over and over again and that’s people wanting to know what the best catfish bait is. I quit counting emails at 257 before I finally gave up. Theres slight variations in each of these questions based on types of catfish, different bodies of water etc., but they all go something like this……What’s the best catfish bait for fishing in ____________: Rivers Lakes Ponds Reservoirs Creeks Streams What’s the best catfish bait for ___________: Blue Catfish Channel Catfish Flathead Catfish Catching big monster trophy catfish. Looking through these questions about the best catfish bait I realized 99% of them provide no species information and lump “catfish” into one group instead of asking about the species they plan to target. Catfish Is Not a Catfish Is Not a Catfish What does this mean? The approach to fishing for blue cats is very different than that of fishing for channels and flatheads and that means the best catfish bait for species is very different. They’re all very different species with very different food preferences and habits and require a different plan of attack, catfish rigs, bait selections and techniques." }, { "docid": "D2326330#0", "title": "http://arkansaslife.com/iconic-eats/\nAbout Us", "text": "The Original AQ Chicken House SPRINGDALE & FAYETTEVILLE Settling into a booth at the original AQ Chicken House on a rainy winter afternoon is as close to cozy as you can get in public (meaning, not in your XXL college hoodie and holey sweatpants).

They show up for work everyday and are eager to do their job. Learn which algae eaters to employ and which ones to avoid!Controlling algae growth in the freshwater aquarium is a task many novice hobbyists struggle with. Before you find the correct balance in water parameters and before the beneficial bacteria in your tank have time to establish themselves, you may find algae growing on your tank walls and decorations. In small quantities, algae is not a problem but if it is allowed to grow out of control it can take over the tank. In some cases, a quick burst in algae growth (often referred to as an algae bloom) is a sign of poor water quality. If you are simply looking for a way to control regular algae growth, however, the solution can be as simple as adding an algae eater to your tank. What Algae Eaters Do in the Aquarium Although some species of fish actually have the words “algae eater” in their name, this phrase is used generally to describe breeds of aquarium fish which feed on algae. Some algae eaters have suction cup like mouths that are perfectly designed for sucking algae off tank walls and aquarium décor. Other species belong more to the bottom feeder category, primarily scavenging for uneaten fish food, though they may feed on algae growths as well." }, { "docid": "D3405299#0", "title": "http://www.answermefast.com/How_long_does_fresh_catfish_last_in_the_fridge-qna17681.html\n.", "text": "\"Q How long does fresh catfish last in the fridge?

That, along with water, is pretty much all they drink. As for foods, as said above, fish and chicken, and perhaps some other meats occasionally. I wouldn't recommend cheese (unless you can find a lactose-free subsitute). Of course, cat food should be a main part of the diet, as it specifically contains the nutrients that a cat needs.

Cats should never eat dry food, and the money you invest in high-quality, premium food will result in better health and lower vet bills for your feline family members. I’m always delighted when I hear from readers who have switched their cats from a low quality and/or dry diet to a healthier diet because of something they’ve read here on my site. Sometimes, switching a kitty off the human equivalent of junk food can be challenging. Understanding why cats are finicky, and knowing how to safely make the switch to a healthier diet, or encouraging fussy cats to eat, is an important step toward better health for your cats. What Makes Cats Finicky? Rule out medical issues. Loss of appetite, especially when it comes on suddenly, can be an indicator of a series medical problem.

A bloated stomach can be caused by eating too much in too short a time period, or simply be because he has a deep chest. Deep chested dogs are at risk for developing Gastric Dilation and Volvulus (GDV) which is a very serious condition in which their stomach bloats and rotates so that no gas or food can leave it.

If the cat is healthy, then it's generally after about 3 days that serious dehydration occurs when there is no access to water or fluids. They can go for quite a while without food if there is water, because they are able to live off their body reserves. But that sends their system into shock after a while because they are actually slowly dying. The cell regeneration process slows down, the metabolism also slows down and the brain begins closing off different stimuli such as appetite. Soon, a lack of nutrients can cause severe kidney failure, among other problems. Clinical signs of kidney failure usually start to show when about 75% of the kidneys’ ability to function is already gone. The kidney is not an organ that is known to regenerate itself, so once it stops working you need dialysis to filter out poisonous waste from the body.

Early signs are subtle, seen only as increased drinking and urination. More advanced signs are weight loss, poor appetite, vomiting, and dull coat. Problems occur as the kidneys can no longer reabsorb water, leading to excessive urination and chronic dehydration. As problems progress, the kidneys cannot handle the breakdown products of excess protein, leading to the buildup of toxins in the blood (azotemia). This is reflected in an increased BUN and creatinine on blood work. The goals of therapy for renal failure are to increase hydration, decrease the buildup of toxins in the blood, treat any possible underlying reversible disease (infection, hyperthyroidism), maintain good blood flow to the kidneys, and minimize any further damage. Diet is a key component of the health program for a cat with kidney disease, but the goals may not be quite what you have been told. In my opinion, the most basic first step in mild to moderate cases is to increase water consumption. This means avoiding dry food (the reason here being that cats on dry food tend to be chronically dehydrated, but there is another important reason regarding protein sources which we will discuss in just a bit)." }, { "docid": "D1168283#0", "title": "https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/gen_info/faqs.html\nToxoplasmosis Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)", "text": "On this Page What is toxplasmosis?

Mouth cancer is cats is commonly caused by the oral malignancy known as squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer invades surrounding structures of the mouth including the mandible, maxilla, dental arcade, tongue and other portions of the oral cavity. Squamous cell carcinoma cancer is often detected too late and treatments prove ineffective. Mouth cancer also presents similar symptoms to periodontal disease, so early detection and a proper diagnosis is essential. If your cat begins refusing food, has lost teeth and has noticeably bad breath, the possibility of mouth cancer should be considered. Mouth cancer is a very aggressive, fast-growing cancer that is not usually noticed until the disease has reached advanced stages. Mouth cancer can be a tumor located anywhere within a cat’s oral cavity including the lips, tongue, cheeks, roof of the mouth, upper or lower jaw, and back of the mouth. Mouth cancer is not connected to any breed, age or sex of cat, but experts believe second-hand smoke to be a highly plausible cause.

Pain located in the abdomen can result from conditions ranging from trauma to disease, so it is important to take your cat to a veterinarian for an examination as soon as possible if it is suffering. There are numerous reasons why your cat may be experiencing abdominal pain. Cats are not normally expressive creatures when it comes to pain, but there are ways to detect if something is wrong in the abdominal region. Since the abdomen lies between the pelvis and the chest, a number of organs can be the culprit behind their pain. Symptoms of Painful Abdomen in Cats Your cat may not always show signs to indicate it is experiencing abdominal pain.

My Cat has Blood in its Stool – What Should I Do? By Staff 25794It can be terrifying to discover that your cat has blood in its stool. The presence of blood in the stool, or “hematochezia” can be a result of a minor intestinal upset, or a symptom of many more serious medical conditions. Bleeding in the lower intestines, such as the colon and the rectum, generally causes hematochezia. It is characterized by the presence of bright, frank blood in the feces. Hematochezia should not be confused with melena, the passage of dark, tar-colored feces, caused by bleeding that occurs higher up in the intestinal tract. If your cat has blood in its stool on only one occasion, and otherwise appears to be eating, drinking and acting normally, the cause may simply be a minor gastrointestinal upset, such as eating too much, eating a unfamiliar food, or eating something that does not agree with him. Some cats are especially sensitive to stress, and any sudden change in environment, such as adding a new pet to the household, having a baby or even a schedule change can induce colitis. Changing food brands suddenly can also cause this condition, as cats often require a gradual change of food in order to adjust without complications." }, { "docid": "D7068#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_long_should_kittens_be_on_milk_replacement\nHow long should a calf be on milk replacer?", "text": "Kodiakcathy 12,680 Contributions How long should a calf be on milk replacer?

Cats need appropriate foods to fuel their metabolism and keep their internal organs, tissues, skin and fur in top condition. Human foods are not appropriate for cats, but the specific type and amount of food you feed your cat depends on his activity level, health needs and feeding habits. Meat Requirements In the wild, a feline diet primarily consists of meat, so this must be a major component of your pet's diet as well. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they have to eat meat. This is because cats' bodies cannot produce taurine, an amino acid, so they have to get it from animal sources. Some people solve their pet's meat needs by feeding a raw food diet, which consists solely of raw meat. If you choose to feed your cat a raw meat diet, consult a veterinarian for the appropriate proportion of fats, proteins and micronutrients your cat requires and always practice safe food handling when preparing meals for your pet.

But cats do get eaten quite frequently when they are allowed to roam in the outdoors. Wild dogs such as foxes and coyotes view cats as an easy meal, since they’re usually not as wary or as quick as most wild prey animals. And in parts of North America, a large member of the weasel family called the fisher, or fisher cat, not only eats cats, but is a good climber and can chase them right into the tops of trees. Eagles, owls, and other birds of prey will also take cats, as will crocodilians and other large reptilian predators that live in warm climates.

Many of the degnerative diseases we’re seeing in cats, including diabetes, urinary tract disease, kidney disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, may be directly linked to these foods. Cats need meat and moisture Cats are obligate carnivores. This means they need meat to survive. They cannot get enough nutritional support from plant-based proteins such as grains and vegetables, because, unlike humans and dogs, they lack the specific enzyme that processes plant-based proteins metabolically. They need few to no carbohydrates in their diet. Cats also need moisture in their diets. They do not have a strong thirst drive when compared to other animals, and this can lead to chronic low-level dehydration when the cat’s main diet is a dry one.

At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days. Try mashing up some good quality wet/canned food (look for a brand with a high named meat content and no grain, such as Felidae or Blue Buffalo to avoid tummy upsets) for them.

Once the land is no longer suitable for growing crops, it is resold to ranchers and put into grass for their cattle.

The disease is virtually 100% fatal. The human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease, causes memory loss, emotional instability including inappropriate outbursts, an unsteady gait, progressing to marked weakness, severe rapidly progressive dementia and death, often within a year of the onset of symptoms. What is the cause of Mad Cow Disease?

While these were entertaining, quite a bit about the daily life of the western cowboy and the actual mechanics of a cattle drive were romanticized to the point of being inaccurate. This is to be expected. A motion picture or television show was made to entertain, not to necessarily educate. There’s nothing wrong with that. With that being said, the real life of a working cowboy was more adventuresome and dangerous and with much less glamor than you might think. A cattle ranch was a business and the work of a western cowboy was part of that business. American Cowboy, circa 1888One of the best places I know of in the U.

I thought I’d be the luckiest grownup ever if I could work outside all day, taking care of my cattle and our family’s land. That dream and my sentiments about the business are the same today, but I now understand and appreciate the challenges, the risks and the sacrifice it takes to be in the cattle business. I was fortunate to have a foundation on which to build my business, as my family already had an established ranching operation. Simply put, I know that I’m lucky to be able to farm and ranch, as there are many who have the desire but are unable to do so due to the high startup costs. Like my folks, I work for the hope that one day my own children will be able to follow in my footsteps, as I followed in those of the four generations before me. Being under 35 years of age and involved in production agriculture certainly puts me in a minority category -- one that is quickly growing smaller, according to a recent report published in the Society of Range Management’s publication, Rangelands. After evaluating 90 years of census data, the report concludes there will be no operators younger than 35 by 2033, and the average age of the rancher will be 60 years old by 2050.

Newton County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Glenn Wheeler told the Harrison Daily Times cattle producers have been finding calves with missing ears, lips and noses after dying. Producers at first thought it was scavengers cleaning up carcasses of animals that had died from a possible disease. Deaths continued sporadically until a pack of dogs was seen in a pasture chasing recently weaned calves, catching the calves by the nose and then killing them. Upon seeing this the owners fired a gun at the dog pack and the dogs ran. In all the dogs killed nine calves ranging from 300 to 600 lbs. Police were called and started investigating the case. The authorities searched for a possible owner as the dogs looked in too good of health to be strays. “The attacks stopped for nearly three weeks,” Wheeler says, “but then the dogs started up again, killing several more calves in Newton County and at least two pigs just over into Boone County. On other farms just over the county line, the dogs have apparently chased cattle through fences as well." }, { "docid": "D2141317#0", "title": "http://www.cowboyshowcase.com/fire-proofing-the-range.html\nFire-Proofing the Range", "text": "\"After several years of devastating range and forest fires in the American West, from Malibu to Montana, razing thousands of square miles of both private and public lands, people question the results of years of range \"\"management\"\" by public agencies.

In Texas, the word initially denoted an establishment engaged in livestock production using unimproved range pastures as the primary resource, with or without plowland crops. From the beginning, ranching often included raising cattle, sheep and goats, and horses. Cattle ranching has been a major Texas industry for nearly three centuries. As early as the 1690s the Spaniards brought in stock with their entradas. Ranching as such dates from the 1730s, when herds were loosed along the San Antonio River to feed missionaries, soldiers, and civilians in the San Antonio and Goliad areas. As the Spanish missions declined, ranching shifted to private raisers, including Tomás Sánchez de la Barrera y Garza, Antonio Gil Ibarvo, and Martín De Léon. Modern scholarship places the birth of the Texas ranching industry in the southeast Texas–southwestern Louisiana area, from where cattle raisers drove herds to market in New Orleans." }, { "docid": "D2069085#0", "title": "http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/why-vegetarians-are-eating-meat\nWhy Vegetarians Are Eating Meat", "text": "\"Home Special Diets Vegetarian Why Vegetarians Are Eating Meat A growing number of vegetarians are starting to eat humanely raised meat.

Only the strongest of those cattle, (the ones which could travel very long distances, often with little feed or water, and could efficiently utilize scant grazing resources while still breeding and raising healthy calves each year), could survive and contribute to the gene pool. The strengths of the breed reflect the rugged natural survival requirements they faced. Coincidentally, many of these traits are what make them very special and highly desirable cattle in today's environment. 1. Longevity: Longhorns typically live well into their late teens and often into their twenties. Indeed, there are recorded instances of longhorns living into their thirties. As an example, we have a cow, Day's Bobbie Sue, who is still going strong at 23 and walks up and down the rather steep hills of our California ranch with relative ease, albeit somewhat slower than her herdmates. Longhorn cows are capable of producing as many as twenty or more calves.

The price of a cow varies widely depending on a number of factors including her size, her age, the current cost of feed, whether or not she is bred and how long you will have to feed her until you are able to sell her next calf. As I write this in the fall of 2007 cattle prices are near record highs. But feed costs are also high due to drought, high oil costs, and diversion of corn from feed to the production of ethanol.

What is RF Gain on a CB Radio? RF is used as a synonym for \"\"radio,\"\" in this case a CB radio. It describes the wireless communication of signals through the air rather than through wires like a plug-in home phone. Noise interferes with signals and it comes from the atmosphere, other nearby channels that overlap slightly, and environmental surroundings. To counteract noise, RF gain acts as a sensitivity filter. It reduces noise in the receiver without reducing reception power as a CB radio squelch does. What Does RF Gain Do On a CB Radio? Without getting technical, CB RF gain can be thought of as another way to \"\"squelch\"\" noise without using the CB squelch, or in conjunction with the squelch. When you crank up the squelch, you'll hear only the signals closest to you - the ones that are the strongest." }, { "docid": "D641184#0", "title": "http://www.tvweek.com/tvbizwire/2014/05/how-many-minutes-of-commercial/\nHow Many Minutes of Commercials Are Shown in an Average TV Hour?

The cost is $5.99 per month (for comparison's sake, Netflix Instant is $8.99 per month, and Hulu Plus is $7.99 per month) and includes on-demand programming as well as live-streaming of local CBS affiliates (available in 14 markets at launch, with more to be added later).

The seminal American television show ran for only two seasons between 1974 and 1976, but its memory lives on to this day. “ Movin’ On” starred Claude Akins as the classic big-rig trucker Sonny Pruitt and co-starred Frank Converse as his trucking partner Will Chandler. However, not everyone knows that the show actually originated as a television movie called “In Tandem” before becoming a series under the better known name, “Movin’ On”. ( Photo Source: tvtruckin.com)The truck in the original television movie was a dark green 1973 Kenworth W-925 but this was substituted to a 1974 model for the entire run of the series. The arduous process of restoration has been done on the better known 1974 model to bring it back to looking as close as possible to the condition of the truck during the filming of the series. Once the time-consuming task of sanding the many layers of paint was completed, it was discovered that the original “S. Pruitt” was still present on both doors, bringing the details of the television truck back to life. The frame was carefully sandblasted and subsequently painted to revive the authentic look of the famous truck. Unlike some other television shows, on “Movin’ On” Akins and Converse actually drove the truck during filming. Another interesting fact is that the theme song for the show, also called “Movin’ On”, became a number one single on the Billboard magazine “Hot Country Singles” chart in July 1975." }, { "docid": "D2044666#0", "title": "http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Simple-but-effective-tv-transmitter-/\nHow to Make a Simple But Effective Tv Transmitter (Analog)", "text": "\"In this instuctable, I will show you how to make a cheap analog tv transmitter for channels 3-4.

The RTDNA is announcing the coalition sent a letter on Wednesday (1/18) to Trump and Pence, asking for a meeting or conference call. Among the issues the coalition wished to discuss are: the ability of reporters to directly interact with government employees who are subject matter experts, rather than interacting with Public Information Officers (or having all conversations monitored by Public Information Officers); access to the activities of the president; and ensuring that the Federal Freedom of Information Act remains as strong as possible. RTDNA executive director Mike Cavender states, “This is an unprecedented time for the American media and, as a consequence, for the American public. It is imperative that the incoming administration understand the importance of transparency in government and the cooperative spirit needed in working with the journalists who cover it. Only then will Americans be fully and fairly informed about the important decisions being made on their behalf.” Interestingly, this issue isn’t just about the incoming Trump Administration.

They are not to be confused. In fact , there are so many differences it would be hard to list them all on a simple answer., but the basics are this.... In most places , CB radio operation is allowed at no license cost. That however doesn't mean license free. By transmitting on the CB bands , operators thereby agree to the terms and conditions set out for the use of the band by the spectrum management authorities of the country that they are in. This means that there is rules and conditions , and penalties for illegal operation on the CB band.

It was in practically every respect a perfectly wonderful show--witty, tuneful, surprisingly sophisticated and brilliantly put together. \"\" The Big Show\"\" was a big enterprise in every way. The opening program contained such names as Fred Allen, Jimmy Durante, Jose Ferrer, Ethel Merman, Paul Lukas, Russell Nype Mindy Carson and Frankie Laine--all presided over and more or less blanketed by that extraordinarily vibrant lady known as Tallu. It ran an hour and a half, one of the fastest and pleasantest 90 minutes in my memory; it was housed in NBC's newly acquired Center Theater (3000 seats); it had a 44-piece orchestra and 16-voice choir presided over by Meredith Willson; it cost a trillion dollars--and, well, it was big. SHREWD GAMBLETo get to the politics of the matter, it was also a bold and, I think, shrewd gamble. By starting off at 6 o'clock and extending through 7:30, NBC hopes to lure all the listeners to its network before CBS opens with its big gun, Jack Benny, and to hold them right on through Mr. B.

In a series of tweets, Goldberg dropped the F-bomb on one fan, called another fan an “a–hole,” and a third fan a “douche.” Not exactly the most professional way to conduct himself. In fairness to Goldberg, some of those fans were being jerks about it. But when you’re a public figure and someone acts like a jerk toward you on Twitter, you’re better off ignoring it than responding with an F-bomb. And in fairness to the fans, Goldberg really did make quite a few mistakes. He stumbled over names, got faked out on play-action passes, misidentified players and coaches and lost track of the down and distance. One mistake was particularly telling: Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw a pass to receiver Greg Jennings, and Goldberg at first said the intended receiver was Golden Tate.

Molecular biologists also study the effects of viruses on cells. These scientists conduct research for government agencies or private companies. Companies that utilize molecular biologists include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Those who work in sales for a company may need to travel frequently and have excellent communication skills. Molecular biologists may also decide to become college professors.

Some microorganisms attempted multicellular arrangements, forming small sheets or filaments of cells. But these ventures hit dead ends. The single cell ruled the earth. * Original story reprinted with permission from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent division of Simons Foundation.org whose mission is to enhance public understanding of science by covering research developments and trends in mathematics and the physical and life sciences. * Then, more than 3 billion years after the appearance of microbes, life got more complicated. Cells organized themselves into new three-dimensional structures. They began to divide up the labor of life, so that some tissues were in charge of moving around, while others managed eating and digesting. They developed new ways for cells to communicate and share resources.

ENCODE was designed to pick up where the Human Genome Project left off. Although that massive effort revealed the blueprint of human biology, it quickly became clear that the instruction manual for reading the blueprint was sketchy at best. Researchers could identify in its 3 billion letters many of the regions that code for proteins, but those make up little more than 1% of the genome, contained in around 20,000 genes — a few familiar objects in an otherwise stark and unrecognizable landscape.

This is only a minimum estimate, however, because there are trillions upon trillions of bacterial cells that are not associated with eukaryotic organisms. In addition, all archaea are prokaryotic, too. As is the case for bacteria, it is unknown how many archaean cells are on Earth, but the number is sure to be astronomical.

Smell is one of the oldest human faculties, yet it was one of the last to be understood by scientists. It was not until the early 1990s that biologists first described the inner workings of olfactory receptors — the chemical sensors in our noses — in a discovery that won a Nobel Prize. Since then, the plot has thickened. Over the last decade or so, scientists have discovered that odor receptors are not solely confined to the nose, but found throughout body — in the liver, the heart, the kidneys and even sperm — where they play a pivotal role in a host of physiological functions. Now, a team of biologists at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany has found that our skin is bristling with olfactory receptors. “ More than 15 of the olfactory receptors that exist in the nose are also found in human skin cells,” said the lead researcher, Dr. Hanns Hatt. Not only that, but exposing one of these receptors (colorfully named OR2AT4) to a synthetic sandalwood odor known as Sandalore sets off a cascade of molecular signals that appears to induce healing in injured tissue. In a series of human tests, skin abrasions healed 30 percent faster in the presence of Sandalore, a finding the scientists think could lead to cosmetic products for aging skin and to new treatments to promote recovery after physical trauma." }, { "docid": "D1600308#0", "title": "http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/babys-cells-can-manipulate-moms-body-decades-180956493/\nBabyâs Cells Can Manipulate Momâs Body for Decades", "text": "\"Baby’s Cells Can Manipulate Mom’s Body for Decades An evolutionary approach may help scientists understand why mothers become genetic chimeras and how that affects their health Sure, it looks cute now, but a new study explores why babies influence their moms’ DNA for years. ( People Images/i Stock)By Viviane Calliersmithsonian.com September 2, 2015Mothers around the world say they feel like their children are still a part of them long after they’ve given birth. As it turns out, that is literally true. During pregnancy, cells from the fetus cross the placenta and enter the mother’s body, where they can become part of her tissues. This cellular invasion means that mothers carry unique genetic material from their children’s bodies, creating what biologists call a microchimera, named after the legendary beasts made of different animals. The phenomenon is widespread among mammals, and scientists have proposed a number of theories for how it affects the mother, from better wound healing to higher risk of cancer. Now a team of biologists argues that to really understand what microchimerism does to moms, we need to figure out why it evolved in the first place. “What we are hoping to do is not only provide an evolutionary framework for understanding how and why microchimerism came to be, but also to assess how this affects health,” says lead author Amy Boddy, a geneticist at Arizona State University. Maternal-fetal conflict has its origins with the very first placental mammals millions of years ago. Over evolutionary time, the fetus has evolved to manipulate the mother’s physiology and increase the transfer of resources like nutrition and heat to the developing child." }, { "docid": "D883757#0", "title": "http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-intro-to-biology.html\nWhat is Evolution?", "text": "\"Introduction to Evolutionary Biology Version 2Copyright © 1996-1997 by Chris Colby [Last Update: January 7, 1996]volution is the cornerstone of modern biology.

Physically cells always have a boundary membrane, a little like a polythene bag encloses contents within it. Inside the space limited by the membrane there is an remarkable chemical processing unit. From the point of view of cell structure biologists divide organisms into two groups, the bacteria (the prokaryotes), and all other animals and plants (the eucaryotes).

At the Indy 500, the world's fastest cars routinely cover the same distance in a little less than ten minutes. Machines can do things faster than people can. This axiom has been put to good use in a great number of human endeavors but only recently has it been brought to bear on one of the most monumental endeavors of all -- the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project is a national effort to decipher the human genetic blueprint that is being spearheaded by the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It will require \"\"mapping\"\" the location of some 100,000 genes along the 23 pairs of human chromosomes, then \"\"sequencing,\"\" or determining the order of, the three billion base pairs of nucleotides that make up these chromosomes (see sidebar). To appreciate the enormity of the Human Genome Project's goal, consider that if all of the DNA in the nucleus of a typical human cell were to be unraveled and stretched out flat, it would extend about six feet in length. To date, less than half an inch of this DNA has been sequenced. Mapping efforts have not progressed much further.

The concept of race in such research is “problematic at best and harmful at worst,” the researchers argued in a new paper published in the journal Science on Friday. However, they also said that social scientists should continue to study race as a social construct to better understand the impact of racism on health. So what does all this mean? Huff Post Science recently posed that question and others to the paper’s co-author, Michael Yudell, who is associate professor and chair of community health and prevention at the Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Why is it problematic to view race as a biological concept? For more than a century, natural and social scientists have been arguing about whether race is a useful classificatory tool in the biological sciences — can it elucidate the relationship between humans and their evolutionary history, between humans and their health. In the wake of the U. S. Human Genome Project, the answer seemed to be a pretty resounding “no. ”In 2004, for example, Francis Collins, then head of the National Human Genome Research Institute and now director of the National Institutes of Health, called race a “flawed” and “weak” concept and argued that science needed to move beyond race. Yet, as our paper highlights, the use of race persist in genetics, despite voices like Collins, like Craig Venter — leaders in the field of genomics — who have called on the field to move beyond it." }, { "docid": "D1488603#0", "title": "http://healthybuildingscience.com/2013/05/30/how-to-measure-emf/\nHow to Measure EMF", "text": "How to Measure EMFby / Thursday, 30 May 2013 / Published in Healthy Building Inspections & Testing How to Measure EMF: The Art of Knowing What You Are Studying There are a lot of people out there concerned about electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR or also known as radio frequency (RF)).

Salk Institute For the first time, biologists have succeeded in growing human stem cells in pig embryos, shifting from science fiction to the realm of the possible the idea of developing human organs in animals for later transplant. The approach involves generating stem cells from a patient’s skin, growing the desired new organ in a large animal like a pig, and then harvesting it for transplant into the patient’s body. Since the organ would be made of a patient’s own cells, there would be little risk of immune rejection. The human-organ-growing pigs would be examples of chimeras, animals composed of two different genomes. They would be generated by implanting human stem cells into an early pig embryo, resulting in an animal composed of mixed pig and human cells. One team of biologists, led by Jun Wu and Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute, has shown for the first time that human stem cells can contribute to forming the tissues of a pig, despite the 90 million years of evolution between the two species.

S. Francis Crick, Co-Discoverer of DNA, Dies at 88By NICHOLAS WADE JULY 30, 2004Correction Appended Francis H. C. Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, and the leading molecular biologist of his age, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in San Diego. He was 88. He died after a long battle with colon cancer, said Andrew Porterfield, a spokesman for the Salk Institute, where he worked. Dr. Crick laid the foundations of molecular biology in a sustained burst of creativity that began in 1953 with the discovery of the structure of DNA, the hereditary material, in Cambridge, England, and ended about 13 years later with the subject's primary problems solved, most of them either by Dr. Crick or by scientists in his circle. The discovery of the structure of DNA resolved longstanding questions about the nature of the hereditary material and the manner in which it is copied as one generation succeeds another. The proposal for the structure, almost immediately accepted, was electrifying to scientists not only because of its inherent elegance but also because it showed how biology, evolution and the nature of life itself could ultimately be explained in terms of physics and chemistry. Indeed, the desire to replace religious with rational explanations of life was a principal motivation of Dr. Crick's career. So central is DNA to biology that the names of Francis H. C. Crick and James D. Watson, his American colleague in the discovery, may be remembered as long as those of Darwin and Mendel, the architects of the two pillars of modern biology, the theory of evolution and the laws of genetics. Some consequences of understanding the structure of DNA are already familiar, from linking suspects to crime scene evidence to manipulating it to make genetically engineered crops. But these are just foretastes of a gene-based medical revolution that is expected to unfold in the years ahead now that the human genome -- about three billion units of DNA, encoding all the biological information needed to generate and maintain a living person -- has been deciphered." } ]

In order to do this, the cell membrane must have proteins that detect the presence of molecules that should be taken into the cell. A cell has two ways of maximizing its ability to detect important molecules. One is to have more protein receptors on its surface membrane that recognize the molecule. The other is to have a larger membrane area in which to place these protein receptors. This second strategy, having a larger membrane surface area, also provides the advantage of having more membrane through which a molecule can be absorbed.

The inorganic material obtained from soil which are used as raw material by plants are called mineral nutrients. Absorption utilization and assimilation of inorganic compound or minerals by plants for synthesis of essential material for their growth, development, structure and physiology is called mineral nutrition. Essential elements The mineral nutritional elements are available to the plant as ion present in soil water absorbed through root. Nutrient elements may occur in the soil (a) in the aqueous solution, (b) adsorbed on organic or inorganic soil colloids, (c) in the form of an insoluble inorganic compound, and (d) as a constituent of organic compounds, either as a residue of plants or animals or in living organisms. The uptake of nutrients by the plant roots is closely related to the form in which the elements occur. Many factors influence nutrient uptake for plants. Ions can be readily available to roots or could be \"\"tied up\"\" by other elements or the soil itself. Soil too high in p H (alkaline) or too low (acid) makes minerals unavailable to plants.

It involves the physical breakdown of food but does not alter its chemical makeup. Chemical digestion, on the other hand, is a complex process that reduces food into its chemical building blocks, which are then absorbed to nourish the cells of the body ( [link] ). In this section, you will look more closely at the processes of chemical digestion and absorption. Digestion and Absorption Digestion begins in the mouth and continues as food travels through the small intestine. Most absorption occurs in the small intestine. Chemical Digestion Large food molecules (for example, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and starches) must be broken down into subunits that are small enough to be absorbed by the lining of the alimentary canal. This is accomplished by enzymes through hydrolysis. The many enzymes involved in chemical digestion are summarized in [link]. *These enzymes have been activated by other substances.

To fit this considerable length into body, parts of the canal are folded and coiled inside the abdomen . The mucus is a substance secreted along the tube by cells lining its walls . Mucus helps food to slide through the canal without doing too much damage to the lining. It also forms a protective covering which keeps the digestive juices, which are inside the lumen of the canal, from coming into contact with the living cells of the walls. Along the whole length of the alimentary canal there are muscles in the walls.

In the earliest stage of development of the cells of the embryo are not notably different from one another. Later a finished muscle cell and a finished nerve cell and a finished liver cell are as far apart in visible structure as in what they do." } ]

Other figures are taken from different internet sources)FIntroduction All life forms, from single cell to multicellular organisms, strictly maintain an internal environment that is chemically different from the external environment. This inner chemical environment is capable of carrying out the most basic functions of life: building cells and tissues, producing energy, transporting solutes into and outside cells, multiplying, communicating with other cells, and so on. Some cells and tissues are also capable of carrying out less common tasks, such as motion and detoxification of foreign elements. What is it which makes the inner environment of living cells and tissues so different than the one outside? A comparison between the two environments shows that both are built from the same chemical elements (Figure 1): Figure 1However, a closer look reveals that living organisms are enriched with the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). Animate matter contains large quantities of oxygen and minerals like silicon, but only minute quantities of carbon and hydrogen.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: They need to replicate the full amount of their DNA so that there are two complete copies for each daughter cell to get one. The \"\"cell cycle\"\" consists of a resting phase or G0 phase followed by Interphase, which is divided into G1, S and G2 phases. The G1 phase prepares the cell to replicate its DNA, the replication of the DNA then takes place in the S phase, and then during the G2 phase the cell prepares to enter the M phase which is when the actual mitosis or cell division happens.

Mitosis occurs only in body cells, or somatic cells, while meiosis takes place in the cells of the testes and ovaries, which are the primary reproductive organs.

Animal cells have centrioles, so as to what produces the spindle fibers is one of the differences between plant and animal mitosis. The phases of mitosis and what goes on in each phase is the same except when it comes to how cytokinesis is accomplished. Plant cells divide the cytoplasm between the two new nuclei by forming a cell plate (new cell wall) between the nuclei. Animal cells accomplish this by forming a cleavage furrow which is a pinching in at the middle of the cell until two new cells have been formed with cytoplasm and organelles for each new nuclei.

Review of Mitosis: Cell Cycle The cell cycle contains the process in which cells are either dividing or in between divisions. Cells that are not actively dividing are said to be in interphase, which has three distinct periods of intense activity that precedes the division of the nucleus, or mitosis. The division of the rest of the cell occurs as an end result of mitosis and this process occurs in regions of active cell division, called meristems. Meristems will be looked at in the plant tissue tutorial. Mitosis is a process within the cell cycle that is divided into four phases which we will sum up here: Prophase—the chromosomes and their usual two-stranded nature becomes apparent, the nuclear envelope breaks down." }, { "docid": "D1246475#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/3336106/cell-division-questions-flash-cards/\nCell Division Questions", "text": "31 terms JHSwarrior Cell Division Questions Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sortproducing more cells In most cases, living things grow by __________.demands on the DNA The larger a cell gets, the more __________.nutrients, wastes When cells get larger, its harder to move _______ and _______ across it's cell membrane.daughter When cells divide, they form two________ cells.it divides What does a cell do before it gets too large?it's genetic information, or DNA What must a cell copy before it divides?mitosis The division of the nucleus.cytokinesis The division of the cytoplasm.interphase The time period between cell division is called ________.

The most common representative is dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12 or Freon-12). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a family of chemical compounds developed back in the 1930's as safe, non-toxic, non-flammable alternative to dangerous substances like ammonia for purposes of refrigeration and spray can propellants. Their usage grew enormously over the years. One of the elements that make up CFCs is chlorine. Very little chlorine exists naturally in the atmosphere.

Tax authorities worldwide are aware of these so-called treaty shopping practices and have become more and more sophisticated in combating such misuse of tax treaties. In this article I will discuss some of the tools available to tax authorities in targeting treaty shopping. Being aware of these tools is essential when establishing the most appropriate and efficient tax structures for cross-border activities. Most countries are using the OECD Model Convention as the basis in their negotiations with other States to conclude bilateral tax treaties and in the first part of this article I will provide a brief summary on the general purpose of the Model Convention. In the second part of this article I will deal with some of the provisions that are embedded in the Model Convention and in some other bilateral tax treaties that can be used against treaty shopping. Since anti-treaty shopping provisions can also be found in domestic legislation and when applied would override the relevant tax treaty, I will furthermore provide an example of local anti-treaty shopping legislation. In the last part of this article I will touch upon the so-called Controlled Foreign Companies (“CFC”) rules that many jurisdictions have incorporated in their domestic legislation. Although these rules do not specifically target treaty shopping, they can have a significant impact on international tax structures and I will conclude this article with a brief summary of the current status of the compatibility of CFC rules with tax treaties.

Among these changes, retirees and survivors will now be able to contribute through their monthly annuities!Since 1961, the CFC has raised more than $8.2 billion to help out those in need. The importance of the CFC can be seen most recently in the areas devastated by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. To assist with these hurricane victims and many more causes, more than 8,000 CFC-approved charities are there to help. This year’s campaign theme, Show Some Love, will now allow Federal retirees and survivors like you to give to causes that you are passionate about. And research shows that retirees and survivors are eager and ready to give. A 2013 survey conducted by the National Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) Association estimates that by allowing retirees and survivors to donate through their annuities, charities will receive approximately 600,000 additional CFC donors, with more than $130 million dollars in additional pledges, over the course of a year." }, { "docid": "D1021313#0", "title": "http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=65888\nChapter 12: Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP)", "text": "\"12.1 Interim IFSP Policy12.1.1 An interim Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) may be needed pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act regulations 34 CFR 303.310 (c) (3) and 303.345 for children for whom the following has been determined: If there are exceptional circumstances that make it impossible to complete the evaluation and assessment within 45 days and the Service Coordinator has documented those circumstances in the child's EI record (for example, the child or parent has been hospitalized); or Obvious immediate needs were identified, even at the time of referral that would ensure the completion of evaluations/ assessments that will determine the child eligible for EI services (e.i. a physician recommends that a child with cerebral palsy begin receiving physical therapy for developmental issues as soon as possible).

By Julie Edgar From the Web MD Archives By Jan. 1, 2009, millions of Americans with asthma and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will have to make the switch from CFC-propelled inhalers to HFA -propelled inhalers, if they haven't already. The change comes as a result of a federal ban on CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) albuterol inhalers that goes into effect Dec. 31, 2008. For some asthma patients, like 35-year-old Shelby Rothrock of Silver Spring, Md., the new inhalers are a big improvement. She says she prefers the feel of the HFA (hydrofluoroalkane) inhalers. Albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator, which helps open up airways to provide quick relief from wheezing and shortness of breath. Albuterol inhalers are often referred to as \"\"rescue\"\" inhalers because they can help stop asthma attacks.

CFCs such as Freon were first used because they had the right properties to act as a refrigerant. The most important property is having the right boiling point because refrigerants are compressed into a liquid and the allowed to evaporate inside a closed circuit. The first substance used in refrigerators was ammonia (NH3). Ammonia worked well but it is poisonous. If the fridge's plumbing sprung a leak it would be bad for people around it and might even spoil the food being kept cold. Freon was seen as the perfect substitute for ammonia because it is very inert. If it leaks there is no smell and no danger.

In the last thirty years, it has been discovered that stratospheric ozone is depleting as a result of anthropogenic pollutants. There are a number of chemical reactions that can deplete stratospheric ozone; however, some of the most significant of these involves the catalytic destruction of ozone by halogen radicals such as chlorine and bromine. Introduction The atmosphere of the Earth is divided into five layers. In order of closest and thickest to farthest and thinnest the layers are listed as follows: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The majority of the ozone in the atmosphere resides in the stratosphere, which extends from six miles above the Earth’s surface to 31 miles. Humans rely heavily on the absorption of ultraviolet B rays by the ozone layer because UV-B radiation causes skin cancer and can lead to genetic damage. The ozone layer has historically protected the Earth from the harmful UV rays, although in recent decades this protection has diminished due to stratospheric ozone depletion.

[ { "docid": "D805422#0", "title": "http://animals.mom.me/eating-habits-chameleons-2696.html\nThe Eating Habits of Chameleons", "text": "\"Chameleons spend most of their lives in bushes or trees, where they can hide from predators and wait for food. They’re unique among lizards because they have zygodactylous toes, meaning their feet can grip tree trunks and limbs. Their prehensile tails also wrap around branches to anchor them as they hunt, rest and eat. Prey Hatchlings and adult chameleons eat essentially the same foods, although older and larger animals can consume bigger prey. Common meals include cockroaches, crickets, grasshoppers, stick insects and other bugs, as well as spiders. In some of the biggest species, such as Meller’s chameleon, which can grow to nearly two feet, adults even dine on their fellow lizards, small birds and, in captivity, baby mice. A few species supplement their insect diet with flowers and leaves; for example, veiled chameleons, which live in deserts, absorb water by eating plants. Hunting Because they move very slowly, chameleons don’t stalk and pounce on their prey. Instead, they wait until prospective meals venture close enough to catch. Chameleons’ green or brown coloring helps hide them among leaves and branches, so they can ambush their prey. (" } ]

Davison Four-horned chameleons ( Chamaeleo quadricornis) are native to Cameroon, Africa. This coastal country located just north of the equator is bordered by Nigeria, Chad, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Also known as Cameroon bearded chameleons or “quads,” this species of sail-fin chameleon grows to a length of 10 to 14 inches, and most are collected from the Mount Manengouba and Mount Lefo regions. The species loves cool weather, and its native rain forest habitat receives between 100 to 400 inches of rainfall each year. Advanced Only Temperatures in this region usually remain well below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, making four-horned chameleons very difficult to care for in captivity. It is much easier to adapt a veiled chameleon ( C. calyptratus >) to your home than a cool-climate species prone to hyperthermia. Four-horned chameleons prefer a temperature range of 55 to 75 degrees with humidity averaging 50 percent. They tolerate temperatures of 30 to 55 degrees in the winter if the humidity is higher than 50 percent. If constant humidity cannot be provided to these sensitive chameleons, they will eventually dehydrate and die from kidney failure or respiratory disease.

Chameleons are characterized by very long tongues, bulged eyes that can rotate and focus separately, joined upper and lower eyelids (with a pinhole for viewing), lack of an outer or middle ear (unlike most lizards, but like snakes ), and with the five toes on each foot fused into opposite groups of two and three. Small- to medium-sized squamates, which are primarily tree-dwelling, chameleons are found mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, although some species exist in southern Europe, South Asia, and Australia, with feral populations elsewhere. The common chameleon, Chamaeleo chamaeleon, lives in the Mediterranean area. Chameleon's add to the human wonder of nature, given their ability to change color. However, the mechanism and reason that chameleons change color has often been misunderstood. Although it is popularly believed that they change based on their surrounding background, this has been scientifically discounted; rather, color change is tied to other environmental factors (intensity of external light ), physiological factors (whether overly warm or cool, illness, gravidity), and emotional conditions ( stress (medicine), fear, discontentment, presence of other animals) (Anderson 2004). The color-changing \"\"American chameleon,\"\" Anolis carolinensis, also known as the Carolina or green anole, is not a true chameleon, belonging to the family Polychrotidae (or the subfamily Polychrotinae of the iguana family, Iguanidae ).

Spider monkeys, possums and chameleons are examples of animals that use their tails to help move and stabilize themselves in the tree canopy. Feet and Claws It is important that animals living in trees can grip well. Some arboreal animals, like squirrels, have ankle joints that are highly flexible, allowing the foot to point backwards so claws can hook into the tree bark when they are coming down the tree." }, { "docid": "D3123575#0", "title": "http://reptiles4.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-big-do-garter-snakes-get.html\nreptiles", "text": "Friday, July 31, 2009How big do garter snakes get?i have one and i wanna see how big my baby gets. :] Answers: Garter snakes reach about 2.5-3 feet.

This is true for all chameleons, regardless of the particular species you keep. These are animals that, in the wild, spend most of their time perched high up in trees. This gives them plenty of access to natural sunlight, which is important for the chameleon's overall health. You must keep this in mind when caring for your lizard. In this care sheet, I want to stress the importance of natural sunlight and what it can do for your pet lizard's well being. Captive Chameleons Need UVB Light to Survive Natural sunlight contains UVB rays, among other types of rays. UVB stands for ultraviolet B. It makes up part of the visible spectrum of light, the part that we can actually see. Chameleons and other types of lizards rely on UVB for their overall health.

The lizards live for no more than five months after hatching. They then grow rapidly until they reach maturity, when adult females develop vibrant colours to attract a mate before laying eggs and dying. The annual lifecycle of these reptiles reflects the extreme seasons in southwest Madagascar, according to scientists. Labord's chameleons ( Furcifer labordi) are the shortest-lived land vertebrate in the world and are only found in the forests of southwest Madagascar. From the moment they hatch, they are in a race to grow up Documentary maker Emma Napper During the dry season the whole population of chameleons consists of just eggs. Incubating for approximately eight months, they hatch synchronously at the start of the wet season. The chameleons rapidly develop into adulthood, taking advantage of the increase in insect prey that also emerges with the rains. Once they have mated, the females lay their eggs and all of the adult chameleons die off as the dry weather returns. According to Dr Kris Karsten, whose study of the unique chameleon was published in the journal PNAS, this remarkable annual lifestyle is very rare among reptiles. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D2689465#0", "title": "http://www.online-field-guide.com/MadagascarList.htm\n.", "text": "\"Species List - Madagascar Back Molluscs Arachnids Insects Amphibians Reptiles Mammals Birds With a land area slightly greater than that of France, Madagascar is the world's fourth-largest island, and is celebrated among conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts for its exceptional number of endemic species (of all the world's islands, only New Guinea is home to more unique species). The island is especially famous for two groups of animals: the lemurs, largely arboreal primates confined to Madagascar and the Comoros Islands, and the chameleons. These lizards may originally have evolved on Madagascar, and today over 50% of living species are found nowhere else. Lesser-known, but often featured in wildlife guides, are the mantellas (a large group of colourful frogs unique to the island), the often brightly-coloured day geckos, the large tomato frog, giant 'upside-down' baobab trees, and the bizarrely-shaped giraffe-necked weevil. As with many of the world's greatest centres of biodiversity, however, Madagascar faces the challenge of conserving its wildlife while raising standards of living in one of the world's poorest countries. Unsustainable slash-and-burn agriculture, rapid population growth and harvesting of trees to produce charcoal threaten Madagascar's remaining forests, 90% of which have been lost since humans colonised the island 2,000 years ago. Madagascar was among the first 25 biodiversity hotspots recognised by Conservation International, in recognition of high rates of habitat loss and the island's global significance for biodiversity.

Some chameleon species are endangered due to habitat loss and destruction and because they are sold as pets. Interesting Chameleon Facts: Chameleons vary in size. Smallest chameleon is Brookesia micra, which reaches 0.6 inches in length. Biggest chameleon is Furcifer oustaleti, which reaches 30 inches in length. Chameleons prefer life in the forest and they adapted to the arboreal locomotion (movement in the trees). Their toes are divided in two groups of two or three toes on each foot, which help them grab the branch and achieve stability during walking. Chameleons move slowly, using one limb at the time.

Most people feed their chameleons a regular diet of crickets, which can usually be bought from wherever you purchased your chameleon in varied sizes. However, if you live in an area where you cannot get insects regularly, they can be ordered on line or by telephone and delivered to you in bulk. It is a good practice to try and feed your chameleon a varied diet of different types of insects. Some of the more common insects you should try and feed your chameleon are crickets, wax worms, meal worms, super worms, fruit flies (for younger chameleons), flies, moths, and grasshoppers. Be careful how many larger winged insects (such as moths) you feed your reptile as the wings can be difficult to digest, and this could lead to bigger problems. Also, be cautious with wild caught insects. Make sure they haven't been subjected to any types of parasites since these would then be passed on to your chameleon and cause significant harm to it." }, { "docid": "D811522#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_a_chameleon_need_to_survive\nWhat does a chameleon need to survive?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Reptiles Lizards Chameleons What does a chameleon need to survive?

The first step in breeding veiled chameleons is to make sure you have a male and a female. Fortunately, veiled chameleons can be reliably sexed at birth. Male veiled chameleons posses a fleshy, triangular shaped appendage that arises from the crux of their rear feet. This is called a tarsal spur. Female veiled do not have tarsal spurs. Veiled can reach sexual maturity very early, some authors report as early 3 1/2 months, but 6 months is more average.

When we were living with my great aunt, she used to make them every night and would serve them with a side of white rice, beef or chicken and a Colombian arepa. And it's funny because we never got tired of eating them, in fact, people would come over for dinner uninvited because her beans were amazing. As kids, my cousins and I would make fun and sarcastically ask, \"\"Hmmm... I wonder what we're going to have for dinner tonight?\"\" But like I said, we loved them and ate every single bit of them. In Colombia we eat beans all the time and every family has their own recipe. The most popular way to make them in Antioquia, which is where I'm from, is by adding ham hocks or pork hocks, along with a green plantain. My grandmother loved adding collard greens or \"\"cidra\"\" which is a type squash, also called \"\"chayote\"\", but that's not really the way I like them. I want my beans meaty and full of pork flavor so I almost always use ham hocks. If you're not too fond of adding a pig's foot in your beans, or can't find any, you can also make them with pork belly which also gives them an amazing flavor, same with bacon, except most bacon sold here in the US is smoked and then your beans won't really have that Colombian flavor." }, { "docid": "D428205#0", "title": "http://latinamericancook.blogspot.com/2010/03/chayote-fruit-from-aztecs.html\nCHAYOTE, THE FRUIT FROM THE AZTECS", "text": "CHAYOTE, THE FRUIT FROM THE AZTECSThe word for chayote is Spanish, borrowed from the Nahuatl word chayotli, which means Spiny Gourd. Chayote was one of the many foods introduced to Europe by early explorers, who brought back a wide assortment of botanical samples. The age of conquest also spread the plant south from Mexico, ultimately causing it to be integrated into the cuisine of many other Latin American nations. The flesh has a fairly bland taste, and a texture described as a cross between a potato and a cucumber. Although generally discarded, the seed has a nutty flavour and may be eaten as part of the fruit. The bland flavor of Chayote works to its advantage because it can absorb any flavor, in Australia during World War II there was an scarcity of fresh apples, so people cooked Chayote chunks in imported apple juice and sugar to produce an excellent filling for pies. Chayote vines are easy to grow, first you let one of the fruits sprout a root then plant it in good soil next to something the vine can crawl into, like a fence or a tree or build a rack with scrap material. The vine will bear many fruits for years, the leaves and shoots are also edible, in Taiwan the shoots are considered a delicacy. After 2 years it is possible to collect chunks of roots without affecting the plant, the roots are edible and taste similar to yams.

The chayote plant’s alkaline fruit is called chayote squash, but it is really not a squash. Chayote squash does belong to the same gourd family, Cucurbitaceae, as squash, melons, and cucumbers. ADVERTISEMENTChayote’s botanical name is Sechium edule and research [1] has indicate chayote was native to Mexico and due to its popularity was spread by Europeans throughout Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and was brought to Europe during the European conquest. Due to chayote’s popularity it spread throughout the world and as a result took on many different names. Chayote spread to Europe and chayote in English became known as vegetable pear and pear squash, while it become known as mirliton in North America. In Jamaica chayote was called cho-cho, while in Honduras it was called pataste, and in Brazil it was called chuchu. Chayote Squash The Chayote squash has a pale green skin and a pear-like shape, and as a result was called a vegetable pear in English. Chayote is eaten as a vegetable and inside its pale green skin is a crisp creamy white flesh with a large white edible seed in the middle. Chayote has a juicy but nice crisp texture and a mild sweet taste, and when eaten raw has been compared to eating an apple, yet when quickly boiled to retain some of its crispiness has been compared to a cross between a summer squash and a mildly sweet pear." }, { "docid": "D404842#0", "title": "http://pakupaku.info/stuffedmirlitons.shtml\n.", "text": "\"Cooking by kittee: [email protected] What the hell is a Mirliton?

While grasping the thing in my left hand and paring with the right, it sweated a sticky sap on my hand. Within moments I noticed a tingling sensation. I stopped, rinsed my left hand, noting a particular sqeakiness, then resumed with a plastic glove -- to no avail however, for the tingling persisted into a numbness and my skin began feeling very tight. Being on the prissier side, I completely stopped, washed my hands several times with different soaps, then anointed copious lotions and oils. With no change but not wanting to further delay grub-prep, I continued dinner while my bf searched his med text for possible explanations or hazards. Nothing. Later when the sensations stopped my skin was cracked, peeling and scaly. By this morning all the symptoms were gone, but the beast had effectively removed at least one layer of skin.

The mild taste of this unusual looking fruit can best be compared to a cross between a cucumber and an apple, and the crisp crunch also bears a similarity to these foods. The thin skin of the chayote fruit is wrinkled and furrowed and is often covered with tiny spines that feel like fine hairs. Healthy eaters will appreciate the fact that chayote is low in calories and sodium, while still providing high levels of potassium and vitamin C. When selecting chayote, look for fruits which are firm to the touch with a little yield and bruise-free. Overly soft and sticky chayote, as well as chayote which have started to sprout shoots out of the broad end, are overripe and best avoided. The fruit can be thinly sliced and put into salads raw, or cut into sections or cubes to be puréed, sautéed, boiled, steamed or baked. The mild flavor of chayote makes it a bit of a culinary blank slate; the fruit is often marinated, or prepared with a variety of spices to provide a fuller flavor. Preparing chayote: Your first step is to peel off the skin. You’ll either want to wear disposable gloves for this step or peel the chayote under cold running water, as the fruit is known to ooze a slightly sticky substance when peeled. While this substance is completely nontoxic, it may irritate sensitive skin." }, { "docid": "D3377279#0", "title": "http://allrecipes.com/recipe/214870/baked-chayote-squash/\nBaked Chayote Squash", "text": "\"Home Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Squash Baked Chayote Squash10 made it | 6 reviews0Recipe by: Dom's Kitchen\"\"Cheesy, custardy stuffed squash with bread crumbs on top.

The fruits are also known as chayote, or they may be called christophine, choko, Mexican squash, or vegetable pears, depending on the region. Additionally, the tuberous part of the chayote root is edible. A member of the gourd family, chayote is very popular in Latin America and parts of the United States, and it also pops up in some Asian and European cuisine. A well stocked grocery store or a Hispanic market will generally stock chayote, although it can be costly at times. There are two basic varieties of the fruit, one of which superficially resembles a pear, with the classic pear shape and smooth greenish to white skin. Another cultivar is covered in soft spines, although it retains the pear shape. Both versions have a large edible seed with a faintly nutty flavor in the center of the crisp white flesh. The flesh of the chayote tends to be relatively bland, and many cooks season it extensively, using the chayote as a blank canvas for seasoning. Ad Chayote was first domesticated in Mexico, where the fruit is used in both raw and cooked forms." }, { "docid": "D2540789#0", "title": "https://cookeatshare.com/popular/how-to-cook-chayote-squash\nHow to cook chayote squash", "text": "\"How to cook chayote squash Recipes / How to cook chayote squash (1000+)How To Cook A Crab Information4526 views How To Cook A Crab Information, ingredients: Q.

Food in Costa Rica has a rich history and deep meaning for the people here, which for me deserves a lot of respect when being critical of it’s food. Even though I’ve been living here for over a year and a half, I haven’t quite yet embraced preparing typical food at home. Okay, so maybe I have gotten too comfortable with what I like to cook and the ingredients I know well, but now is the perfect time to explore. Recently, I vowed to find the most unique dishes to Costa Rica and tweak them into the perfect recipes. But before we get down to business, we have a few terminologies to sort out and some background to familiarize ourselves with. First, the terms I’ll be using in this post may seem foreign to you (duh, because they are) but they’ve become a permanent part of my language living here. Ticos or Ticas are the native people.

Ichintal is the name of the root of the plant that produces Sechium educe also known as chayote, perulero, güisquil, huisquil, wiskil, chuchu, chaya, pataste, cho-cho, and pear squash, vegetable pear, tayota, sayote, in other parts of the world. The better known word chayote is a Spanish derivative of the Nahuatl word chayohtli. Güisquiles are such an integral part of the Guatemalan diet that sometimes you find it in the most unusual dishes. Güisquiles are also very important vegetable from the milpa crop as mentioned by Charles C. Mann in his book 1491. You can find güisquiles in caldos, in Guatemalan chilaquiles, which basically are two slices of güisquil with a piece of cheese between the slices and then wrapped with egg batter and fried. Although most people are familiar only with the fruit as being edible, the root, stem, seeds and leaves are edible as well.

Engineers are among the most in-demand professionals in the world and can work in a variety of fields for all kinds of employers. All engineering professions require at least a bachelor’s degree. After completing the bachelor’s degree, students who are interested in managerial positions often pursue master’s degrees, while those who want to pursue research get doctorates in engineering. Areas of Concentration The bachelor’s degree in engineering is a challenging program that requires a substantial amount of coursework in mathematics and natural sciences in addition to the core and elective engineering classes. Because engineering is such a broad field touching on so many different and distinct areas, most engineering degrees either offer concentrations within the major or separate majors for each type of engineering. Examples of majors or concentrations include mechanical and civil engineering, which deals with the design of complex machines and infrastructure, computer and electrical engineering, chemical and biomedical engineering, and aerospace engineering.

We talk to customers every day about it. To understand why this is such a big deal, you need to understand the important role your head gasket plays in your engine’s health. What Does a Head Gasket Do? In the simplest terms, your engine can be separated into two major sections. The top of the engine, where valves control airflow in and out of the cylinders and fuel is introduced to the cylinder bank, is called the head. The bottom of the engine is much larger by volume, and is where the cylinders and pistons that convert fuel into forward motion live. For proper engine function, there must be an airtight seal between these two sections. Your head gasket ensures that seal is maintained, but after years of wear and use, gaskets can dry out, crack and fail. When this happens, oil, coolant and fuel end up in the wrong places and the risk of overheating becomes extremely high." }, { "docid": "D3013593#0", "title": "https://cfmedicine.nlm.nih.gov/physicians/biography_168.html\n", "text": "\"Returnb. 1956Cornell University Weill Medical College LOCATION Texas General medicine YEAR 1992ACHIEVEMENT Dr. Mae Jemison was the first African American woman astronaut to go into space.

Marc | May 19, 2011 | Featured | 10 Comments I get asked a lot by various people if chemistry and chemical engineering are the same thing. In fact, they are pretty different from each other. What are the differences between chemistry and chemical engineering? Well, there are quite a few and I’ll address a lot of them here. Some argue that the biggest difference between the two is the difference between a lab coat and a hard hat. That really isn’t the truth though! I believe the main differences are what you learn for each profession, the classes you take, and the jobs available to you when you get a degree in one of the subjects. A short summary of the differences between a chemist and a chemical engineer (if you don’t want to read the long description below) is that a chemist usually works on the fundamentals of chemicals, such as discovering a new compound or new ways to extract or refine a compound while a chemical engineer is usually concerned with producing that compound on a large scale or lowering the cost of producing the compound. Another major difference is that a chemist has a vast knowledge of usually only chemistry and lab procedures while a chemical engineer has a general knowledge of chemistry and a vast knowledge of thermodynamics and the underlying mathematics." }, { "docid": "D671965#0", "title": "http://www.livescience.com/48134-what-is-chemical-engineering.html\nWhat Is Chemical Engineering?", "text": "\"Live Science Tech Reference: What Is Chemical Engineering? By Jim Lucas, Live Science Contributor | October 3, 2014 12:52am ETMOREChemical engineers work in a variety of fields. Credit: auremar | Shutterstock Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with chemical production and the manufacture of products through chemical processes. This includes designing equipment, systems and processes for refining raw materials and for mixing, compounding and processing chemicals to make valuable products. George E. Davis, an English engineer, is credited with founding the field of chemical engineering in the late 19th century. He published the first truly comprehensive overview of the practice in his two-volume \"\" Handbook of Chemical Engineering \"\" (Davis Bros., 1901; revised 1904), based on a series of 12 lectures he gave at the Manchester School of Technology (now part of the University of Manchester). Interestingly, he never taught another course in his lifetime, opting to devote his career to consulting. His handbook, however, would serve as the fundamental text for chemical engineering studies for decades to come. What do chemical engineers do? Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics and math to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food and many other products, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)." }, { "docid": "D271047#0", "title": "http://chronicle.com/article/Strands-of-Promise-in/141377/\nGenetically Modified Food: Good, Bad, Ugly", "text": "\"69The Chronicle Review Genetically Modified Food: Good, Bad, Ugly Arno Burgi, Picture-Alliance, DPA, APBy Arthur L. Caplan September 09, 2013G enetically modified food has had a rough year in what has been a fairly miserable decade. In August, 400 farmers in the Philippines stormed a government-owned GM (as it is known) research field. The protesters destroyed 1,000 square meters of Golden Rice, a variety genetically engineered to cut down on vitamin A deficiency. A 2013 poll in The New York Times found that three-quarters of Americans have concerns about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their food; most are worried about health effects. Thirty-seven percent of those with worries fear that GM foods cause cancer or allergies. On the Web site Counter Punch this summer, Katherine Paul wondered what happens when animals are confined in cramped, filthy environments and force-fed monoculture diets of genetically modified corn and soy. A lot, concluded Paul, who is with the Organic Consumers Association: \"\"Calves are born too weak to walk, with enlarged joints and limb deformities. Piglets experience rapidly deteriorating health, a 'failure to thrive' so severe that they start breaking down their own tissues and organs—self-cannibalizing—to survive. \"\" The article described animals with weak bones, dairy cows with mastitis, beef cattle with liver abscesses. \"\" It all adds up to a lot of misery for animals unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of industrial agriculture's Big GMO Experiment,\"\" Paul wrote." }, { "docid": "D3261960#0", "title": "https://teachchemistry.org/classroom-resources/making-slime\nMaking Slime (1 Favorite)", "text": "Making Slime (1 Favorite)LESSON PLAN in Polymers, Chemical Change . Last updated March 5, 2018. Summary In this lesson, students explore the science behind chemical reactions as well as the processes used by chemical engineering principles to develop new materials. The idea that mixing two substances can result in an explosion, the release of gas, and the formation of an entirely new substance is both fascinating and mysterious to most young students. Many students are also attracted to the idea of inventing new substances with different and exciting properties. The lesson begins with a reading of Dr. Seuss’ book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Students then explore what happens when two different substances are mixed and a chemical change occurs. They then extend the investigation further by experimenting with different combinations of substances to make “oobleck” (slime). This is a simple investigation that introduces or expands on the concept of chemical reactions, but does not go into details of the composition of the substances or the reaction that occurs. Objectives By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: Describe and compare physical properties of various substances." } ]

The Chief Warrant Officer Program provides commissioning opportunities to qualified senior enlisted personnel. Chief Petty Officers (E-7 through E-9), and E-6 personnel who are selection board eligible for E-7 may qualify for this program. In addition to the CWO program, the Navy has a Limited Duty Officer (LDO) commissioning program for senior enlisted personnel (and CWOs). ( Note: LDOs are technically oriented officers who perform duties specific occupational fields and require strong managerial skills). The LDO and CWO Programs are open to both active duty and Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel. Qualified personnel may apply for both LDO and CWO simultaneously. A baccalaureate degree is not required, however, it is encouraged. Leadership ability, military qualifications, and technical expertise remain the key factors leading to selection. Eligibility Must be a Chief Petty Officer (E-7 through E-9), including E-6 personnel, when notification has been received by the commanding officer that the individual is a selectee for Chief Petty Officer or that advancement to Chief Petty Officer has been authorized, and serving on active duty or as a member of the Ready Reserve in a drilling unit (pay or non-pay) for inactive duty applicants." } ]

Police use of search warrants is one area of police work that is probably more misunderstood and misrepresented than any other area. Common perceptions that are passed around are that police get a free pass with searches and police are constantly taking property from individuals “just because they can.” The reality is this couldn’t be further from the truth.

(WISH) — Anderson police said they arrested several people after two officers were doused with bleach during a standby call. It happened Sunday evening at a home on Columbus Avenue near 27 th Street in Anderson. Police said the two officers have since been treated for their injuries. At this time it’s still unclear whether two or three people were arrested. Police said it all started when a woman requested officers come with her to retrieve her belongings from another woman’s home. “They were there for standby, which is pretty common. People that get disputes they call the police so we can referee the events, if anything arises while the police are there they can take care of it,” said chief Tony Watters, Anderson Police Department. It was outside of the home where the police chief said things quickly escalated for two officers. “Every day you hope and pray that they return safely to their homes and families,” he said.

Reply Caleb January 28th, 2013 on 8:51 am Cameron, That is a big negative. The full version of Article 91 states clearly that this Article does not protect against “Acting” NCO’s or Petty Officers, and does not apply to or “protect” E-3 and below. Reply Chris Hogan June 4th, 2013 on 1:06 am I believe you cannot punish someone under this article, however, you may be able to punish under a different article since the accused is undermining the commander’s Physical Readiness Program, which you have been appointed to carry out.

SEALS can, and usually do earn hazardous duty pay, however, and receive two substantial bonuses, the first for successfully passing the tests qualifying the candidate to enter the SEALs training program, the other for successfully completing it. Basic Pay Scale for Navy SEALSThe Basic U. S. Navy Pay Scales in 2018 are as follows: Enlisted sailors entering the service at the lowest rank, E-1 (Seaman Recruit), receive $1,514 per month for the first four months of service and thereafter $1,638 per month.

SEALs, like all military personnel, receive a limited amount of pay raises at each rank. An E-4, for example, who begins with a salary of $2,139 a month, can receive a total of four raises over a four year period, with the last raise bringing his salary to $2,596.

There is no single, standard treatment for Down syndrome. Treatments are based on each individual's physical and intellectual needs as well as his or her personal strengths and limitations. 1 People with Down syndrome can receive proper care while living at home and in the community. A child with Down syndrome likely will receive care from a team of health professionals, including, but not limited to, physicians, special educators, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and social workers. All professionals who interact with children with Down syndrome should provide stimulation and encouragement. People with Down syndrome are at a greater risk for a number of health problems and conditions than are those who do not have Down syndrome. Many of these associated conditions may require immediate care right after birth, occasional treatment throughout childhood and adolescence, or long-term treatments throughout life. For example, an infant with Down syndrome may need surgery a few days after birth to correct a heart defect; or a person with Down syndrome may have digestive problems that require a lifelong special diet.

It is estimated that there are around 60,000 people with Down's syndrome living in the UK, but since Down's syndrome has never been a notifiable condition, accurate figures are difficult to obtain. Sarah Rutter (Down's Syndrome Association UK)Down's syndrome is the commonest identifiable cause of intellectual disability, accounting for around 15-20% of the intellectually disabled population. It is believed that people with Down's syndrome have always existed. However, it was not until 1866 that the English doctor, John Langdon Down, first described the condition, which subsequently took his name. Click here to see a related article about the History of Down's Syndrome In 1959 Professor Jerome Lejeune, a geneticist in Paris, discovered that Down's syndrome occurred as a result of a trisomy of chromosome 21. This means that instead of the usual 46 chromosomes in the cells of the body, there is an extra chromosome 21, making 47 chromosomes in all. Since then, other forms of the condition, which are much rarer, have been discovered, such as Translocation and Mosaicism. Approximately 94% of people with Down's syndrome have standard trisomy 21, 4% have a translocation and 2% mosaic Down's syndrome.

There can be impairments in cognitive ability and physical growth, mild to moderate developmental disabilities, and a higher risk of some health problems. Through a series of screenings and tests, Down syndrome can be detected before or after birth. The likelihood having Down syndrome is around 1 in every 700 pregnancies. It is determined by many factors, but research suggests there is a higher risk if the mother delivers at over 35 years of age. Before the age of 30 years, fewer than one in 1,000 pregnancies will be affected by Down syndrome. After the age of 40 years, this figure rises to about 12 in 1,000.

Tony Holland (UK)The importance of supporting children with special needs so that they have the opportunity to acquire the necessary educational, living and social skills to equip them for adult life has been recognised for some time. However, in contrast, the needs of adults, and the importance of supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families at times of transition, has been relatively neglected. Whilst the potential difficulties associated with the transition from childhood to adult life is now receiving more attention the fact that needs may change yet again in later adult life is only now beginning to be considered. In the transition from full-time education, a major concern is that there is a very limited selection of support services for adults, and individuals can move from a relatively structured environment of special education to very limited support and opportunities. In England the NHS and Community Care Act provides the framework for decision making at times of such change and has placed a statutory responsibility on social services to undertake a 'needs-led assessment' at this transition, the purpose of which is to help individuals and their families to plan for adult life. Whether this happens still appears arbitrary and the options available vary considerably across the country. In an ideal situation there should be a range of imaginative services that can cater for the considerable range of individual need and individual choice. This would include access to full-time employment, supported employment schemes, more sheltered work environments, adult education and so on. Old age in particular is associated with social and biological changes." }, { "docid": "D260008#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/99139666/nurs-355-chapter-21-flash-cards/\nNURS 355 Chapter 21", "text": "\"50 terms irishsulli7NURS 355 Chapter 21Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The child must demonstrate functional impairment in at least two of the following adaptive skill domains: communication, self-care, home living, social skills, use of community resources, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure, and work. Age of onset before 18 years is part of the former criteria. Low intelligence quotient (IQ) alone is not the sole criterion for cognitive impairment. Etiology is not part of the classification. Secondary prevention for cognitive impairment includes what activity? Newborn screening for treatable inborn errors of metabolism Secondary prevention involves activities that are designed to identify the condition early and initiate treatment to avert cerebral damage." }, { "docid": "D3286041#0", "title": "https://www.epainassist.com/genetic-disorders/beckwith-wiedemann-syndrome-or-bws\nBeckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome or BWS: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Prognosis", "text": "Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome or BWS: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Prognosis Reviewed By: Pramod Kerkar, MD, FFARCSIWhat is Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome or BWS? Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome is a genetic pathological condition in which the infant born is overgrown or in other words significantly larger than what the norm is. Such infants tend to grow much taller than their peers of their age in childhood. This abnormal growth due to Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome starts to slow down when the child reaches about age 9 and hence adults with this condition are not unusually tall and hence it is hard to differentiate from people who have Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and those who do not have this. In some cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, some children may have a specific body part on one side or the other that may be abnormally longer than the other side which tends to cause an asymmetry or uneven appearance which may not look pleasing to the eye. As stated above, as the child grows this discrepancy in length tends to get shorter and shorter with time as the child grows until it is barely visible. This unusual growth pattern is also termed as hemihyperplasia. The symptoms of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome are variable and differ from individual to individual. In some cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, the child is born with an open abdominal wall which causes the internal organs to protrude outside from the opening or the belly button. Umbilical hernia is also one of the common symptoms of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome." }, { "docid": "D1031356#0", "title": "http://ds-health.com/issues.htm\nIssues of Sexuality in Down Syndrome", "text": "\"Abstract - As human beings, individuals with Down syndrome have the right to emotionally satisfying and culturally appropriate sexual expression. As patients, they have the right to routine reproductive health care provided to the general population. Cognitive and language disabilities may predispose this population to unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, and sexual exploitation. Sex education tailored to cognitive level, learning style, and living arrangements is essential to the education of children and young adults with Down syndrome. Introduction Issues of sexuality accompany each stage of human development. Sexual tasks for infants and pre-school aged children include the development of physical and emotional attachment to parents and other family members; issues for school aged children are the emergence of modesty and privacy as well as the beginning of masturbation [Table 1] (Haka-Ikse and Mian, 1993; Grant, 1995). Personal safety and self-esteem become important issues for adolescents and young adults [see Table 1] (Haka-Ikse and Mian, 1993). Little has been written about psychosexual development in Down syndrome. Table 1.

Normally, a fertilized egg has 23 pairs of chromosomes, but most children who have Down syndrome have an extra chromosome 21, giving rise to the name “trisomy 21.\"\" This extra chromosome affects the child’s brain development and physical development. As a result, a child can have a slower development. The severity of the symptoms range from mild to severe, which impacts the child’s performance in the classroom.

In every cell in the human body there is a nucleus, where genetic material is stored in genes. Genes carry the codes responsible for all of our inherited traits and are grouped along rod-like structures called chromosomes. Typically, the nucleus of each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. Down syndrome occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. A few of the common physical traits of Down syndrome are low muscle tone, small stature, an upward slant to the eyes, and a single deep crease across the center of the palm – although each person with Down syndrome is a unique individual and may possess these characteristics to different degrees, or not at all.

There can be impairments in cognitive ability and physical growth, mild to moderate developmental disabilities, and a higher risk of some health problems. Through a series of screenings and tests, Down syndrome can be detected before or after birth. The likelihood having Down syndrome is around 1 in every 700 pregnancies. It is determined by many factors, but research suggests there is a higher risk if the mother delivers at over 35 years of age. Before the age of 30 years, fewer than one in 1,000 pregnancies will be affected by Down syndrome. After the age of 40 years, this figure rises to about 12 in 1,000.

Credit: Sally Mc Cay A new study indicates that children with Down syndrome who have motor speech deficits have been inadequately diagnosed, which could have a major impact on the interventions used by speech pathologists when treating patients. Children with Down syndrome who have motor speech disorder characteristics have historically been diagnosed as having childhood dysarthria. Meanwhile, symptoms of childhood apraxia of speech may have been missed based on the assumption that they coud not have both disorders. The study, published in the International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, provides evidence that children can have both motor speech disorders. Shelley Velleman, chair of the Department of Communications Sciences and Disorders at the University of Vermont, and her colleagues conducted motor speech assessments on seven children with Down syndrome in comparison with typically developing children. They also analyzed the motor speech and non-speech oral motor skills of all participants using an investigator checklist of characteristics of apraxia, dysarthria as well as other non-specified motor speech disorders. The results support Velleman's hypothesis that children with Down syndrome who exhibit symptoms of both disorders can, in fact, have overlapping symptoms, and should be treated for all of them. \"\" Children have been automatically placed in one of those boxes,\"\" Velleman says, \"\"when the reality is that many kids have a combination, so you have to look at all of the symptoms and treat the child accordingly or it's not going to be very helpful. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D446989#0", "title": "http://www.childliverdisease.org/Information/Medical-stuff/Information-on-liver-diseases/Alagille-Syndrome\nAlagille syndrome", "text": "Home Childhood liver conditions Alagille syndrome Alagille syndrome Alagille syndrome is a rare, genetic condition.

Screening tests can indicate the likelihood or chances that a mother is carrying a baby with Down syndrome. But these tests can't tell for sure or diagnose whether the baby has Down syndrome. Diagnostic tests can identify or diagnose whether your baby has Down syndrome. Your health care provider can discuss the types of tests, advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks, and the meaning of your results. If appropriate, your provider may recommend that you talk to a genetics counselor. Screening tests during pregnancy Screening for Down syndrome is offered as a routine part of prenatal care. Although screening tests can only identify your risk of carrying a baby with Down syndrome, they can help you make decisions about more-specific diagnostic tests.
