"text": "Basic Facts About Arctic Foxes To live in such cold places, Arctic foxes have several adaptations that allow them to survive. 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."

While some species of canid have been hunted almost to extinction because of their penchant for livestock and the depletion of their natural habitats, some species of fox such as the red fox have adapted well to changing times and find great opportunities for food and shelter in urban environments.

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."

"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. Air is a good insulator because it's not very dense, so heat only moves through it slowly\"\"Altogether the arctic fox can tolerate very low temperatures of -70 °C."

"text": "Arctic Hare July 3, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment The arctic hare is native to the harsh climatic conditions of North American Tundra. The hares instead of hibernating, survive the cold conditions by physiological, as well as behavioral adaptations. They have a thick fur and occupy a low surface to volume ratio to prevent heat escape. The small ears testify to this feature. The hares dig shelters in the snow and usually huddle in groups for added warmth. They belong to the mammalia class, Lagomorpha order, Leporidae family and Lepus genus. Introduction : The arctic hare is also called as polar rabbit. It has splendid adaptations that enable it to survive the cold arctic climate. The thick coat gives warmth and the hares dig holes for their shelter. They are big in size when compared to other hares and also mature quickly."

Adaptations can change the way you look or the way you behave. Adaptations help a plant or animal to survive the cold, the heat, to find food, to use tools, to hide from predators, and much more. Sometimes adaptations seem strange, but that is probably why they work so well. Many different kinds of plants and animals can have the same adaptation for surviving a situation.

"text": "\"Arctic wolves (Canis lupus arctos) are not their own individual species, but rather a gray wolf (Canis lupus) subspecies. They reside in the extreme northern portions of Canada -- think Ellesmere Island, to be specific -- and Greenland. Other common monikers for the subspecies are white wolf and polar wolf. Background Information Arctic wolves possess off-white fur, which effortlessly blends in with their wintry landscapes, hence their aforementioned \"\"white wolf\"\" handle. They are not as sizable as the average gray wolf. Arctic wolves, in maturity, typically weigh between 99 and 154 pounds. They also generally grow to between 3 and 6 feet long, which takes their tails into consideration. As highly social creatures, they usually stay in packs, although some live all by their lonesome. They do not generally search for food alone, but rather with the rest of their pack. Because arctic wolves are practically never near humans, hunting isn't really an issue for them."

The high Arctic is considered a desert with very little yearly precipitation. Directly at the North Pole this precipitation remains frozen year-round, resting on top of the polar ice cap. There are few, if any, life forms there. However, the islands and edges of the continents that lie within the Arctic Circle often are ice-free during the summer and support a group of ice-adapted organisms in an association called the tundra. Arctic tundra. The tundra is a terrestrial area with permanently frozen ground (down several hundred meters) where there is thawing only in the summer in the top few feet. This type of community is considered one of the major biomes of Earth because of its uniqueness. Arctic tundra towns must have all pipes above ground (since the ground is permanently frozen).

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. But in winter prey can be scarce on the ground."

In the winter, its fur is white or creamy white. It has a long bushy tail, a short nose, and small curled back ears. It has short, stubby legs and thick fur. Its short legs and nose, thick fur, and small ears are adaptations that help it survive in cold climates. Because its legs are so short and its ears and nose are small, there is less of the fox exposed to the cold. The arctic fox also has thick fur and hair on its paw pads that helps keep it warm. The fur on its paws also gives the fox traction so it doesn't slide on the ice! When the arctic fox is sleeping, it protects its nose from the cold by curling its bushy tail around its body.

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature Tundra Biome Share Flipboard Email Print Autumn tundra landscape in Norway, Europe. 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. The soils that blanket the tundra are mineral-deprived and nutrient-poor."

Lizards are scaly-skinned reptiles that are usually distinguished from snakes by the possession of legs, movable eyelids, and external ear openings. However, some traditional (that is, non-snake) lizards lack one or more of these features. For example, limb degeneration and loss has occurred in glass lizards ( Ophisaurus) and other lizard groups. Movable eyelid s have been lost in some geckos, skinks, and night lizards. External ear openings have disappeared in some species in the genera Holbrookia and Cophosaurus. Most of the living species of lizards inhabit warm regions, but some are found near the Arctic Circle in Eurasia and others range to the southern tip of South America. Black girdle-tailed lizard ( Cordylus nigra ). Heather Angel Snakes arose from lizards and are thus considered to be a highly specialized group of limbless lizards. In addition to those traits they have in common with non-snake lizards, snakes are often separated from other lizards in popular literature because they share a set of unique traits that are relatively easy to observe."

"text": "\"Armadillo Control Armadillos, like their cousins the anteater and the sloth, are built to dig. 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. Feces like that shown in the photo below can also be an indicator of a potential armadillo issue. Armadillo Droppings Humane Natural Armadillo Removal And Prevention One of the best ways to prevent Armadillo damage is to prevent them from coming around in the first place."

"text": "Common Mole Species Several types of moles can be found throughout the country. 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. The hairy-tailed mole can also be found in the northeastern part of the country."

They are found on all continents, except Antarctica. Their color, size and diet varies according to different geographical terrains. Lizards have been in existence before the Jurassic era (208-144 million years ago), a little after the Carboniferous period. They have been evolving ever since, adapting to their environment and habitat.

"text": "What are exotic animal species? 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. Nile monitor lizards in Cape Coral pose a threat to the Florida burrowing owl, which is a protected species."

Among the reptiles, most snakes and all lizards, except the green iguana, eat tarantulas. Crow Even other arthropods are also predators, so this makes the number of enemies almost countless, from crabs to other tarantulas, also mantis, beetles, amblypygids, uropygids, solifuges, etc. There are also animals that prey on tarantulas, but as parasites. They do this by depositing a larva either internal or externally. The only predator specializing in tarantulas is classified within these parasites.

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). The fact that deserts typically have little to no vegetation causes them to have extreme temperatures. They are made up of sand, rocks, and gravel and receive very little rainfall each year. ("

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)."

In fact, it is so large that it represents half of the remaining rainforests on Earth. It is an amazing natural sanctuary, home to unique plants and roughly 16,000 species of animals, many of which cannot be found in other parts of the world. Some scientists even say that there is a new species of animal discovered in the Amazon rainforest every 3 days!All of these animals are fascinating in their own ways, well-adapted to life in the rainforest, and most of them are a joy to photograph and even to simply behold. Some of them, however, should be left alone — for your own safety. In fact, you should be careful not even to get close to them. Below are the fifteen most dangerous animals in the Amazon rainforest.1. Green Anaconda Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) by Fernando Flores cc2.0Growing over 30 feet (9 meters) long and weighing over 500 pounds (227 kilograms), the green anaconda is the world’s largest snake and it lurks in the Amazon River, lying in wait for prey. Because of its size, the green anaconda is awkward on land, but in the water it can move stealthily and quickly, striking at anything it knows it can overpower — jaguars, caimans, wild pigs, deer and even humans, especially children. It coils its body around its prey and drags it into the water, suffocating it within minutes, and then swallows it whole with its large jaws."

Description: Anteater-sloths are roughly human-sized animals with elongated heads and long skinny tongues like anteaters, with medium-sized bodies and legs ending in claws like sloths. They have only been seen in the Fire Nation island where the Sun Warrior civilization still thrives in secret, and they appear to enjoy the taste of green glue. Real World: Anteaters are mammal species in the suborder Vermilingua which are known for eating ants and termites. They can be as big as eight feet in length (minus the tail) and four feet in height at the shoulder. 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. They have very slow metabolisms and as such move very slowly. They eat mostly leaves but some species have been known to sometimes eat insects, small reptiles and even birds.

"text": "by John P. Thomas Health Impact News Did you know that you can use the fragrant essential oils of plants to cure diseases? The spicy aroma of fresh basil, the sweet fragrance of a rose, the savory smell of oregano, and thousands of other volatile oils from plants are not just pleasant to smell, but are powerful medicines. 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. [ Page 59]When essential oils are applied to people, they do the same thing, carrying oxygen into cells and carrying waste products out."

I was diagnosed with epilepsy, having first simple seizures (deja vu feelings, strange smells and tastes, full awareness) these progressed after a few months to complex partial seizures (same symptoms but now with lack of awareness and memory loss). This was so surprising to me since I am 55 years old. I have never heard of this. Of course my GP says it could be the essential oils. I am now seeing a specialist in epilepsy, he does not think it's from essential oils. But now that I'm studying herbalism I have made some wonderful \"\"brain tonic\"\" tinctures with recipes that Rosemary recommends. These include herbs such as Gotu kola, Gingko leaf, Ginseng, Sage and Scullcap."

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. It is usually the leaves or gel that is used to create the oil. Aloe vera is a perennial plant and thrives in hot, arid environments."

A distiller may use hundreds of pounds of plant material and get only a pound of essential oil in return.

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. However, therapists trained in aromatherapy offer a predominantly safe method to help a person battling cancer.

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. Which essential oils belong to the Citrus Family? Bergamot, Blood Orange, Citronella, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lime, Mandarin Orange, Neroli, Pink Grapefruit, Sweet Orange and Tangerine essential oils."

There are several different ways to extract essential oils, and all require elaborate equipment. As you will see from the following descriptions, most extraction techniques are based on the fact that the majority of essential oils mix with oils, fats, alcohol, and certain solvents, but not with water. 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. A byproduct of this distillation is the remaining water."

While it’s awesome that the amazing benefits of the oils are being used to heal all sorts of ailments, proper education of the oils seems to have been lost in translation. It used to be that the people advising about and selling the oils were in majority, certified aromatherapists. These days, many people selling them have not been provided with the knowledge that they should be to be recommending particular oils, especially in regards to pregnant women and children. This is why it is important for you to know about essential oil safety for kids. In addition, those being provided with information are somehow still advising with WRONG information. I became aware of oils from a certified aromatherapist about 25 years ago. I am in no way an expert, like she is, which is why I had her write a guest post here last year, called The Ins and Outs of Essential Oils by Someone who Knows. In the article, she touches upon children and some of the oils that should not be used on them, specifically peppermint and certain varieties of eucalyptus. In addition, it was through her classes that I learned that though Ylang Ylang is great for PMS, and for bringing on a period, it should be avoided by pregnant women as it is a uterine stimulant and could cause miscarriages."

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. The close connection may explain why a scent might get tied to vivid memories in your brain, and then come flooding back when you’re exposed to that particular odor trigger."

There is no definitive list that specifies which essential oil is used to treat which health condition. For example, while the essential oils of lavender, chamomile, basil, Frankincense, are generally found to have a calming effect and may help with anxiety and bergamot and peppermint oil are stimulating and can help those with depression, this is somewhat individual. So you need to be proactive about doing research and talking with qualified aromatherapists or other individuals with training in using essential oils. A good place to start is to get a book about therapeutic aromatherapy. There are many good books available and you will be able to find one that matches your needs.

What to expect in a typical aromatherapy session An aromatherapy session often begins with an interview during which you will be asked questions about your personality, your interests, your general health, and your particular symptoms. Your responses will help the therapist decide what type of fragrance would best suit your needs. After this discussion, the aromatherapist selects a blend of oils that he or she feels is suitable for you.

The Chemistry of Essential Oils If you tell most medical doctors that essential oils bring about healing with no negative side effects, they won’t believe you. This is because in medical school, students are repeatedly told by their professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects, and if they don’t then they can’t be effective. 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. That’s just the way it is. And that’s why it is essential that only qualified physicians be allowed to prescribe medicines,” he concluded."

Three general categories of neurons are commonly recognized (Peters, Palay, & Webster, 1976). Receptors are highly specialized neurons that act to encodesensory information. For example, the photoreceptors of the eye transform variations in light intensity into electrical and chemical signals that can be read by other nerve cells. It is the receptor cells that begin the process of sensation and perception. Interneurons form the second category of nerve cells. These cells receive signals from and send signals to other nerve cells. Interneurons serve to process information in many different ways and constitute the bulk of the human nervous system. Effectors or motor neurons are the third class of neurons. These cells send signals to the muscles and glands of the body, thereby directly governing the behavior of the organism."

Learning Objectives Describe the structure and function of the enteric nervous system (ENS)Key Takeaways Key Points The enteric nervous system (ENS), which is embedded in the lining of the gastrointestinal system, can operate independently of the brain and the spinal cord. The ENS consists of two plexuses, the submucosal and the myenteric. The myenteric plexus increases the tone of the gut and the velocity and intensity of contractions. The submucosal plexus is involved with local conditions and controls local secretion, absorption, and muscle movements. While described as a second brain, the enteric nervous system normally communicates with the central nervous system (CNS) through the parasympathetic (via the vagus nerve ) and sympathetic (via the prevertebral ganglia) nervous systems, but can still function when the vagus nerve is severed. 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. The ENS contains support cells, which are similar to the astroglia of the brain, and a diffusion barrier around the capillaries surrounding the ganglia, which is similar to the blood –brain barrier of cerebral blood vessels.

They form architectural support structures stretching radially across the thickness of the retina and are the limits of the retina at the outer and inner limiting membrane respectively. A complete understanding of the shape of a Muller cell is best seen after Golgi staining as shown originally by Cajal (1892) below. Fig. 1.

"text": "Key roles of glia and microglia in age-related neurodegenerative diseases Posted on 3. 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."

They maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons. [ 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. [ 5] The term derives from Greek γλία and γλοία \"\"glue\"\" ( / ˈ ɡ l iː ə / or / ˈ ɡ l aɪ ə / ), and suggests the original impression that they were the glue of the nervous system."

Modern Pathology 1999; 12 (1):abstract # 39. 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. No tumors stained for keratins that were GFAP negative."

It is divided anatomically into the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Central Nervous System (CNS)The CNS consists of the brain (encephalon), which is enclosed in the skull, and the spinal cord, which is contained within the vertebral canal. 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. The two major classes of cells that make up the nervous tissue are nerve cells, neurones, and supporting cells, glia. Neurones The vast majority of neurones is generated before birth."

Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the brain. Protected within the skull, the brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The brainstem acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time. It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. It also determines how we respond to stressful situations (such as taking a test, losing a job, or suffering an illness) by regulating our heart and breathing rate. Nervous system The nervous system is divided into central and peripheral systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord."

Diets high in protein allow for muscle recovery after a workout, while carbohydrates provide fuel for the muscles. Fat intake is typically kept at a moderate level and junk food is avoided. For pro athletes, staying hydrated is important to avoid the muscle cramps and fatigue that come with dehydration. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Basketball Players Registered dietitian Tavis Piattoly notes that professional basketball players need to maintain a well-balanced diet to compete at the highest level. Eating every three hours is a vital part of maintaining energy, helping the body recover and maximizing performance. Professional basketball players should consume healthy carbohydrates throughout the day to maintain energy levels. High-quality lean protein enables the body to recover and repair damaged muscle tissue. Because fat takes longer to convert to energy, consumption should be kept at a moderate level.

Just as a car runs best with a full tank of gas, your body needs the right kind of fuel from food in order to perform at its best. A balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water will give your body what it needs for peak performance. What should I eat to fuel my exercise? Before exercise: The food you eat before you exercise greatly affects the quality of your athletic performance as well as how you feel during and after exercise. These tips will help you plan your pre-exercise meals to prevent low blood sugar, to keep you from feeling hungry, and to fuel your muscles for training and competition. Eat a larger meal if you have 5-6 hours before you begin your exercise. Smaller “mini” meals are better if have 2-3 hours before your workout begins. Meals that are high in complex carbohydrates (foods rich in carbohydrates for long-lasting energy power) are best because they fuel your muscles."

"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.”"

Share 628 Tweet628Bodybuilders, power lifters, strength and power athletes and certain team sports athletes can greatly benefit from having increased lean body mass in the form of muscle. 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."

Increase your ferritin!By Perrin Braun Jul 31, 2013Ferritin levels are important for everyone—whether you’re male or female, an avid exerciser or a couch potato. If your ferritin levels are too low, you may feel fatigued and run down, which can be a problem for anyone, no matter their level of physical activity. To find out exactly what your ferritin levels are, sign up for an Inside Tracker plan. If your levels are out-of-range, Inside Tracker will give you suggestions for diet, exercise, supplement and lifestyle changes to help you optimize them. What is ferritin, and why is it important? Ferritin is a type of protein that binds to iron. In fact, most of the iron that is stored in the body is bound to ferritin, which makes it a good marker for how much iron you have. Iron is an essential mineral that is a part of the protein hemoglobin, which is found in all the body’s red blood cells. Hemoglobin works to supply the muscles and other organs with enough oxygen, as well as to help the body to convert carbohydrates and fat into energy."

Industry people know that’s not true, and so does supermodel Adriana Lima. Lima is disarmingly frank about what it takes to prepare for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show – watched by eight million people, reportedly – in which the world’s highest-paid models wear barely-there lingerie as part of a production that costs $10 million. So here’s what it really takes to be an Angel: Lima, 30, has been working out every day with a personal trainer since August. For the last three weeks, she’s been working out twice a day. “It is really intense, it’s not really the amount of time you spend working out, it’s the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily. ”She sees a nutritionist, who has measured her body’s muscle mass, fat ratio and levels of water retention."

Yet, while the vegan diet, which is totally plant-based (no meat, fish or dairy), nudges its way into the mainstream of society, questions about its benefits proliferate—especially when competitive athletes adopt it. In the minds of many people, including some nutrition experts, athletes must consume meat and dairy products to build muscle and get into optimal condition. This belief isn’t grounded in scientific evidence—because none exists. Nancy Clark, R.

The person who argues that \"\"If only the Kenyans would eat differently, they could run much faster,\"\" would be on flimsy ground. The Kenyans are doing things right when they sit down at the dinner table, or they wouldn't dominate international competitions. But what is it exactly that they're doing?

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.

Read on to find outif you might be at risk for iron deficiencyhow much iron you need and the best dietary strategies to increase your iron intakepotential pitfalls to avoid when increasing dietary iron intake Which Athletes Are at Greatest Risk for Iron Deficiency? Endurance athletes, particularly females and adolescents, are at risk for reduced iron stores and anemia (reduced blood cell mass or hemoglobin concentration).

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. Protein Protein can be used by the body for fuel or for anabolic processes. Anabolic processes are those that build up the body, whereas catabolic processes are those that break down the body."

Weight training and bodybuilding nutrition are sciences like anything else in the fitness sciences: it’s biology and biochemistry and physiology and it has rules and a base of evidence.

This, however, is where the detail becomes very important. Start with a Healthy Diet Although various diets like Atkins and South Beach and Ornish have become popular, the general consensus among dietitians and nutritionists is that a healthy diet is somewhat different -- less stringent in requirements and more balanced across the major nutrients.

Ball, MS on Mar 01, 2002Feature An injury is a traumatic experience for anyone who has devoted a lot of time and energy to fitness and recreational achievements. Here’s what you need to know to assist your clients in the recovery process. It is estimated that 3 to 5 million people in the United States are injured from recreational, exercise and sport-related activities each year. While the primary causes of these injuries are physical, psychological issues can also contribute—and impact recovery as well. Fitness professionals need to recognize the signs of impending injury, notice clients’ psychological reactions to injuries and know mental strategies to improve the recovery process. This article will explore the role that psychological factors play in injuries and rehabilitation and explain how to use sports psychology techniques to prevent future injury. The Relationship Between Stress and Injury The psychological factors that contribute to injury are viewed primarily as stress related (Williams & Andersen 1998). Research has demonstrated that a direct relationship exists between life stresses and injury rate. The types of stresses referred to stem from major life changes, such as losing a loved one, getting a promotion, having a baby or going through a divorce. If a circumstance is viewed as stressful or threatening, an individual may experience an increase in anxiety, which can cause a variety of changes in focus and muscle tension."

Some types of cells are easy to spot, while others–such as tangled neurons–weave themselves up into obscurity. Even if you could count ten cells each second, it would take you tens of thousands of years to finish counting. Plus, there would be certain logistical problems you’d encounter along the way to counting all the cells in your body–for example, chopping your own body up into tiny patches for microscopic viewing. For now, the best we can hope for is a study published recenty in Annals of Human Biology, entitled, with admirable clarity, “An Estimation of the Number of Cells in the Human Body. ”The authors–a team of scientists from Italy, Greece, and Spain–admit that they’re hardly the first people to tackle this question."

"text": "\"The Ultimate Constitution of Matter I believe that Aristotle's hylomorphic doctrine (matter and form) is the most difficult of all philosophical doctrines, but I am convinced that it is accurate and highly relevant. 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. To come to a correct understanding of matter, let us begin by employing an analogy from the realm of art."

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

E.) but including some thinkers who were roughly contemporary with Socrates, such as Protagoras (c. 490-c. 420 B. C. E.). 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."

"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? Nearly 99% of the mass of your human body consists of just 6 chemical elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. 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. Liquid oxygen is blue. ( Warwick Hillier)Oxygen (O) – 65% of body weight Atomic Number: 8Oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body. It’s mainly found bound to hydrogen in the form of water. Water, in turn, makes up about 60% of the human body and participates in countless metabolic reactions."

"text": "\"1. The Epicurean position in metaphysics is materialistic. Their particular form of materialism is known as \"\"materialistic atomism,\"\" which is the doctrine that all reality consists of indestructible material elements called \"\"atoms\"\" which move through empty space, \"\"The Void.\"\" Atoms interact by collisions according to deterministic mechanical laws. In the beginning all atoms \"\"rained\"\" downward in parallel paths, but some occasionally swerved from these paths (Epicurus doesn't say why) setting up chain reaction collisions which led to the clumping of atoms into the physical objects which form the natural world from stars and planets to human bodies.2. 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."

"text": "\"\"\"Epicurean\"\" redirects here. 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."

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. So let's talk about CO2."

Introduction What are we talking about? Hellenism (or Hellenization ): the official and unofficial promotion of supposed Greek ideals in the organization of personal life and civic accomplishment. 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."

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). It is also possible that PCBs could be transported by insects which have come into contact with them ( see section 2.2 ).

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."

Answer by Laura Frog Confidence votes 4.0KAnything, in quantity. Well, except cane beetles. 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. Toads will eat cane beetles, and this is why laboratory experiments suggested them as a means of biological control."

"text": "Avian Influenza or Bird Flu The Key Facts Avian influenza and human pandemic influenza are different diseases. 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. Australia’s strict biosecurity measures prevent the disease coming into Australia through imported birds or poultry products."

"text": "\"FILM TV & RADIO MUSIC ARTS BOOKS FASHION GOOD LIVING PEOPLEWhy the expression \"\"dog eat dog\"\"? 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."

"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. [ 1] In the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the Australian Government listed the impacts of the cane toad as a \"\"key threatening process\"\".

Native to South and mainland Middle America, cane toads were introduced to Australia from Hawaii in June 1935 by the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations, now the Sugar Research Australia, in an attempt to control the native grey-backed cane beetle ( Dermolepida albohirtum) and Frenchi beetle ( Lepidiota frenchi ). [ 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. Adult cane beetles have a heavy exoskeleton and their eggs and larva are often buried underground, making them difficult to exterminate."

Maybe better to ask average and or basic as they will be different. Also a meal price at a restaurant will be different from the price of a sandwich which you would not normally buy at a restaurant. Like any modern western culture, Australia has many choices and the prices reflect what you are buying. So, for a very rough guide, restaurant meal prices can be between AUD $20.00 upwards to many hundreds of dollars. A meal from a salad bar, such as a salad roll or sandwich may cost you anything from AUD $5.00 to AUD $15.00. It's just too broad a question.

They were assassinated five minutes later. Photograph: Bettmann/Corbis Assassination crisis The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, nephew of the aged emperor and heir to the throne, was assassinated in the streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital, yesterday afternoon. His wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, was killed by the same assassin. Some reports say the duchess was deliberately shielding her husband from the second shot when she was killed. One victim was struck in the body and the other in the face; the telegrams are contradictory about which wound the archduke suffered and which his wife. Two attempts were made on the archduke's life during the day. He was in Bosnia directing the manoeuvres of the Austrian Army Corps stationed in the province, and had devoted yesterday to a procession through the capital. During the morning a bomb was thrown at the imperial motor-car, but its occupants escaped unhurt. In the afternoon in another part of the town a Serb student fired a revolver at the car, killing both the archduke and the auchess."

The photo was taken about 1875. Left to right we can see: daughter Clelia, wife Francesca Armosino, Giuseppe Garibaldi, little grandchild Manlio and son Menotti. The Italian nationalist movement is known as the \"\"Risorgimento\"\" (Resurgence) and resulted in unification. Italy was the source of the Renaissance which swept over Europe beginning in the 14th century. As a result of the Counter Reformation, however, Italy did not share in the Enligtenment that followed the Reformation. The Church effectively stifled scientific inquiry and other intelectual pursuirs. The country continued to be very traditional and the south virtually feudal. This began to change with the French Revolution when new poliical ideas and and modern concepts of nationalism were introduced to Italy. The great powers divided Italy following Napoleon's defeats in 1814-15 into the Papal States, Austrian duchies, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and several smaller principalities. ."

Standard Austrian German is used in education, media, and government, but in less formal situations, Austrians tend to use forms closer to or identical with the Bavarian and Alemannic dialects, traditionally spoken – but rarely written – in Austria. Here are the minority languages of Austria (statistics are from 2001): Turkish (2.28%)Serbian (2.21%)Croatian (1.63%)English (0.73%)Hungarian (0.51%)Bosnian (0.43%)Polish (0.35%)Albanian (0.35%)Slovenian (0.31%)Czech (0.22%)Arabic (0.22%)Romanian (0.21%)Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS), spoken by about 10,000 people.

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. Until World War I (1914–18), millions of German Americans continued to speak the German language."

"text": "Society & Culture Languages What language do they speak in Austria?1 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Austrians speak exclusively German (unless a different language is spoken in their family, just as in every other country). 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."

This leadership study is for educational purposes, and we trust that you’ll use this information for good. A Short Biography Hitler was born in an Inn in the Austrian-Hungary border as the fourth of six children to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl. For his education, Hitler joined a Catholic school, joined the church choir and even thought of being a priest when he grew up. His father had wishes for him to join a technical school, but Hitler was more interested in the arts. This led to many arguments, bitterness and rebellion on Hitler’s part. As a result, Hitler became pro-Germany as a statement of rebellion because his father served the Austrian government."

Both are correct, but “babciu” is used merely as an endearing way to say it to your Grandmother, if you are close to her and speaking to her directly. Kocham cię babciu! – I love you grandmother“Babci” on the other hand you use when you for example say: Jadę do mojej babci – I’m driving to my grandmother To jest sweter babci – This is babcia’s sweater“Babunia” is another word for Grandmother. “"

"text": "Expert answer by Adam Reisman Confidence votes 37.2Klinguist and full-time dad The 1 official language of Austria is German. Austrian German is spoken natively by 88.6% of the population. Standard Austrian German is used in education, media, and government, but in less formal situations, Austrians tend to use forms closer to or identical with the Bavarian and Alemannic dialects, traditionally spoken – but rarely written – in Austria. Here are the minority languages of Austria (statistics are from 2001): Turkish (2.28%)Serbian (2.21%)Croatian (1.63%)English (0.73%)Hungarian (0.51%)Bosnian (0.43%)Polish (0.35%)Albanian (0.35%)Slovenian (0.31%)Czech (0.22%)Arabic (0.22%)Romanian (0.21%)Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS), spoken by about 10,000 people. Austrian Sign Language shares some features with German Sign Language and Swiss-German Sign Language, but is not mutually intelligible with either. Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Expert answer by Prioktan 918 Confidence votes 56.6KLaw school student at Fordham University. Studied before at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. High German (which is the German spoken in Germany) is the official language of Austria. Nearly all Austrians can speak High German, but a minority in the more rural, mountainous areas speak local dialects of German that are quite different from High German."

"text": "\"Autonomic Nervous System - Introduction The organs of our body (viscera), such as the heart, intestines and stomach, are regulated by a branch of the nervous system known as the autonomic nervous system. 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."

These are attached at regular intervals corresponding to the paired somites and to the paired nodules of the neural crest. 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."

"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."

Tension is a skeletal-muscle reaction that ordinarily facilitates movements such as walking, talking or writing. However under the pressure of a stressful situation the fight or flight reaction often results in excessive and unnecessary muscle activity, which is \"\"Tension.\"\" Since stresses occur continuously in life, the resulting muscle reactions may develop into an extended over-tense state which can be dangerous to your health. Tension is contraction of the skeletal muscles of the body. A state of over-tenseness may produce various pathological bodily reactions. The Results of Excessive Chronic Tension The prolonged over-tenseness of continued contraction of the skeletal muscles may contribute to high blood pressure, a heart attack, rapid heart beat, gastrointestinal problems such as duodenal or peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, spastic colon, or spastic esophagus. Pain is a primary reaction, often occurring in the form of headache, backache, leg pain, or possibly an arthritic condition. Psychiatric reactions include anxieties, \"\"nervousness,\"\" phobias, depression, insomnia, chronic fatigue and bruxism (clenching of the jaw or teeth grinding).

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. ICE ON/OFF state optimization is still a critical problem that is rarely effectively resolved. Minimum Principle was used in real-time control and has a global optimization in many papers. However, there is no paper to apply this algorithm in ICE ON/OFF control optimization. This paper introduces a novel control method using Minimum Principle to select an appropriate ICE state, which extracts rules from the optimal results applied to real-time control based on predicted route information.

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. For example, the foot and leg are controlled by neurons which originate in the inner, medial part of the gyrus; whereas the arms, hands, face, tongue, trunk, etc., are controlled by neurons which originate from the outer, lateral surface."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONIn my study of both Western and Eastern medicine, I have noticed what I hypothesize to be the common link between these different systems of medical thought. 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. Autoimmune disorders such as Systematic Lupus Erythematosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polyarteritis Nodosa, and Sjogren Syndrome are the cause of neuropathy and add to the suffering of those affected."

"text": "Learn more about Efferent nerve fiber Audition L. 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 )."

The cranial outflow consists of preganglionic fibers that run in the __________,_______, ______________, and _______cranial nerves. 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."

"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."

These guys typically do best with high humidity and both land and water enclosures (except for the axolotl, which is solely aquatic), or at least a large water bowl. Because these species aren't as popular as other species, not everyone knows how to care for them, so before getting a salamander or newt, make sure to do the proper research. You want your new pet to live its full estimated lifespan, which can be at least 15 years or more with proper care. Just remember that if you've never had a pet amphibian, you don't want to go out and buy the most rare one. Start off simple, even if you have experience with other reptiles or pets. Salamanders and snakes just aren't cared for the same way. When choosing a pet salamander or newt, check out the following beginner amphibians. Salamanders R. D.

"text": "Axolotl Care Sheet Common name: Axolotl or Mexican Walking Fish. 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. Axolotls also have four lizard like legs and a long, flat tail."

Reference Axolotl No Results Found An axolotl photographed at Detroit Zoo in Michigan Photograph by Joel Sartore, National Geographic Photo Ark Common Name: Axolotl Scientific Name: Ambystoma mexicanum Type: Amphibians Diet: Carnivores Average life span in The Wild: 10 to 15 years Size: Up to 12 in Weight: 2.11 to 8 oz Size relative to a teacup: IUCN Red List Status:? 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. Accustomed to being a top predator in its habitat, this species has begun to suffer from the introduction of large fish into its lake habitat."

We want something more exotic and intriguing like these weird pets: Weird Pets You Can Own: Skunks Source: Dakota Pet Hospital Skunks have one obvious drawback which is why they’ve never really taken off as pets until recently: their smell. 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. If you do get one, you can plan on it keeping you company for around ten years."

"text": "Abstract Information about predator–prey relationships in aquatic systems can be helpful to improve the conservation management of endangered species. 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. Keywords: Xochimilco , crayfish , restoration , feeding , salamander Introduction Predator–prey interactions have proven to be a key factor in aquatic ecosystem dynamics (Scheffer 1998Scheffer M. 1998.

Organisms that are make up the Eukarya also contain membrane-bound organelles. Kingdom Animalia - The Mexican Axolotl falls under the kingdom Animalia because they are multicellular. Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they must get their food by eating other organisms. 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. Members of this the order caudata also have elongated bodies and are usually found in aquatic environments."

Are they good pets for children? They CAN be easy pets if you get healthy ones, keep them cool enough, and feed the right foods. 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. To obtain the others you need to find a breeder."

"text": "When Do Girls Stop Growing and What to Do to Grow Taller By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Girls experience growth spurts at the start of puberty and many parents may wonder when do girls stop growing. 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."

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. If this is the case, you can add some amount of B12 to your diet through fortified cereals, as well as through some forms of nutritional yeast."

Harris Tags: Vitiligo, Vitiligo Treatment One of the most frequent questions asked by my patients and their families is about the role of diet and supplements in the treatment of their vitiligo. 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. But many times they can hurt, rather than help, their disease."

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Why Supplements are Necessary Most people obtain sufficient B12 from the food they eat, including shellfish, fish, beef, lamb, cheese and eggs. Deficiencies usually occur when the person is missing a protein called intrinsic factor that helps them absorb vitamin B12. Several conditions can lead to problems absorbing vitamin B12, such as pernicious anemia, gastric bypass surgery, celiac disease, bacteria growth in the small intestine and Crohn’s disease.

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."

Other terms used for this condition are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease. Symptoms of acid reflux, or GERD, include heartburn, wheezing, tightness in your throat, or a feeling that food is stuck in your throat. Typically, acid reflux is believed to be caused by excessive stomach acid production. However, this \"\"conventional wisdom\"\" has been shown to be incorrect, and widely used drugs to treat acid reflux may take an unsuspected toll on your health. Aloe vera juice can be helpful for reflux, ideally made from home grown aloe with leaves that are 18 inches long before harvesting. Species that produce thick leaves are best. Aloe has many benefits including high amounts of an immune stimulating polysaccharide, especially mannose which has been shown to induce white blood cells to secrete interferon, tumor necrosis factor and beneficial cytokines. The benefits come from the inner gel of the plant, not the outer leaf."

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. Although many vegan foods are said to have active B-12, few are proving to actually raise B-12 or prevent its loss."

"text": "How Vitamin B12 deficiency causes Canker Sore1 Reply What are canker sores? 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. Who does it usually affect?"

"text": "Seeing Red: Do B12 Injections Work? Sometimes it seems like everyone is fighting fatigue with vitamin B12 injections. But do they do any good? November 18, 2013 Andrea Richards 12 Comments Almost a year after the birth of my second child, my body felt broken. Every virus my kids had, I caught, too, and sleep deprivation, lack of exercise, and a rotten diet—the trifecta experienced by all new parents—were taking their toll. With my immune system in the same place as my mood (severely depleted) I wandered the aisles of Whole Foods and filled my cart with promising-sounding nutritional supplements: Cat’s Claw Defense Complex, Rescue Remedy, Wellness Formula. As I swiped my credit card to pay the bill, it occurred to me that for that much money I could have gone to a specialist. Two weeks later, still feeling sluggish, I went to see my internist, who gave me a full physical, some homeopathic cures of her own, and an injection of vitamin B12 in my butt. The effect seemed immediate. Driving home, I felt a faint electric buzz of energy, the sort of oomph an afternoon espresso can provide."

"text": "\"Mental Changes From B12 Deficiency are Almost Always Misdiagnosed Mental Changes from B12 Deficiency are probably some of the most devastating, yet entirely overlooked problems in medicine today. And far from being ‘rare’ as the medical profession claims, these mental changes are MUCH more widespread than anyone imagines. Vitamin B12 is an underappreciated essential nutrient that most of you get far less of than you need for good health. 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. That is, if intake and absorption had been adequate in childhood- which in this day and age of processed foods, it often is inadequate, even in childhood when liver stores of this vitamin begin. Because getting your Vitamin B12 Levels done often gives false results and because of the perception in the medical field that this deficiency is ‘rare’, these mental changes from B12 Deficiency often go unrecognized as the simple vitamin deficiencies that they are. What Do Mental Changes from B12 Deficiency Look Like? It is really summed up in this statement from the research article Laboratory Diagnosis of Vitamin B12 and Folate Deficiency,“The more common neurologic symptoms are paresthesias, numbness, and ataxia, although dementia and psychosis may occur”That simple statement really says it all and encompasses the entire range of mental changes from B12 deficiency. Let me translate this statement for you into non medical terms: Paresthesias - numbness, tingling and (sometimes) pain that most often occurs in the lower extremities and is sometimes labeled as Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) or Peripheral Neuropathy. Ataxia - Difficulty walking Dementia - the early stages of what many call “Alzheimer’s Disease”."

Because of its nearly continuous use throughout the day, abnormalities become obvious very quickly, making the tongue a helpful marker of disease. If your tongue shows signs or symptoms of a vitamin deficiency, testing will most often reveal one of the B vitamins as the culprit, explains Medline Plus. Less commonly, levels of other vitamins that are low also cause changes of your oral cavity, including the tongue. Glossitis: Loss of the tiny, fingerlike projection on the tongue the papillae -- develops after an ongoing deficiency of any of several members of the B vitamin family, explains \"\"American Family Physician,\"\" in its March 2010 issue. Folate, vitamin B12 and niacin can all claim responsibility for the abnormally smoothed tongue called \"\"atrophic glossitis,\"\" depending on your clinical situation. If you are vegan or have certain digestive system illnesses such as Crohn's disease, you risk a vitamin B12 deficit. Alcoholics lack niacin, another B vitamin that leads to glossitis. A dark red discoloration of the tongue accompanies B vitamin induced glossitis. Replacing the missing vitamin allows rapid regrowth of the papillae."

"text": "How Does Vitamin B12 Help Cats? 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."

Macnamara Updated April 09, 2018If you’re hiking in the area of Cape Town, South Africa, you’ll likely see a baboon warning sign alerting you to baboon danger. But are baboons really that dangerous? 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."

"text": "\"Although the majority of monkeys live in tropical rain forests, some have adapted to live in the open land of the savannas. 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."

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. Stress response All vertebrates respond to stressful situations by releasing hormones, such as adrenalin and glucocorticoids, which instantaneously increase the animal's heart rate and energy level. \"\""

The most obvious difference between monkeys and apes is that apes do not have tails. A few isolated monkey species do not have tails either, but they are the exception rather than the rule. 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 gibbon, which has many aspects of both monkeys and apes, is truly its own separate creature, although it is often lumped in with either apes or monkeys by virtue of many different arguments, both scientific and not so scientific. We have separated the gibbons and offer their own article. We have also separated the baboon into it's own page because it is so well known, but the baboon is in fact an Old World monkey with the customary large size and non-prehensile tail.. Monkeys are highly intelligent and active primates that are broken into two groups known as Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. The Old World monkeys (including baboons) inhabit Africa and Asia, and are more closely related to apes. They are generally larger than New World monkeys, have more elongated faces, and have a tail that is not \"\"prehensile\"\".

No matter what they plan to make their next meal, monkeys have developed adaptations that help them hunt their food.

Old World monkeys live in Africa and Asia and include baboons, macaques and colobus monkeys. New World monkeys -- like capuchins and howler monkeys -- live in Central and South America. Some monkeys are omnivores, eating fruits, nuts, seeds, insects and meat, like small birds or crabs. Other monkeys are strict herbivores, living in trees and eating mostly leaves.

Males may have a body measurement of up to 80 cm (31 in) and weigh 20–30 kg (44–66 lb); females weigh 10–15 kg (22–33 lb) and have a body length of 40–45 cm (16–18 in). [ 5] The tail adds a further 40–60 cm (16–24 in) to the length, and ends in a small tuft. Infants are dark in coloration and lighten after about one year."

However, science has placed them into the area of being a Monkey based on a variety of contributing factors. There are 5 species of the Baboon and they are all part of the Old World Monkeys. Of the Old World Monkeys, these are the larges of all primates in the world with the exception of human beings. They can weigh up to 90 pounds with the smaller ones being about 30 pounds. The males tend to have at least 10 pounds on the females so it is very easy to tell the difference between the males and the females when you are looking at them. Anatomy The Baboon certainly does have many characteristics that are different from other Monkeys. For example almost all Monkey species have a very flat nose. This one though features a very long and large nose."

Most mongoose species are highly social animals living in busy groups of 6 to 40 individuals called \"\"packs\"\" or \"\"mobs\"\". Some particularly gregarious species like the Gambian mongoose may live in packs of 50 or more.

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 )."

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.

"text": "\"\"\"Abandoned\"\" Birdsby Todd Culver The return of migratory birds to North America is a ritual of spring. 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."

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.

"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.

They all look alike to me. \"\" Identifying some backyard birds are easier because we encounter them at close range, and they are considerate enough to delay long enough to give us a good look. 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. The use of their wings by birds in flight varies greatly. The chimney swift moves its wings quite rapidly and continuously, with intervals of gliding, and they are shaped long and narrow throughout."

"text": "0Posted Baby deer drink their mother’s milk. Once they begin to get teeth, they begin nibbling grass and leaves just like their mom. They’ll then eventually wean completely off the milk and eat vegetation only. It’s best not to put anything out at all. While you might like them in your back yard, it’s easy for deer to become too accustomed to being around people and in people’s property and become a nuisance. Often deer that are lured into yards with treats begin to vist the neighbors and end up being shot because they have become troublesome or get injured on roadways because they’re frequenting more habited areas looking for hand outs. Just watch them and enjoy them.0 Comments Add a Comment"

Cattle reproduction involves breeding, genetics pregnancy, calving, care of the young calf and weaning, all of which is involved in the reproduction of cattle. 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. When roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color genes how would one produce a herd of pure-breeding roan-colored cattle? Genetics is a tricky thing and there are no 100% guarantees that you will get the color you want."

Some Walmart stores carry goat milk; Tractor Supply stores carry a wildlife replacement milk that will include fawns on the back label. 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. Deer love sweet tastes, and bananas are always a good source of sweetness. For older deer, you can add a banana, but be sure to beat it with a fork until it liquefies."

The smaller Indian elephant eats less — but still a lot for you or me — a maximum of about 330 pounds (~150 kg) — an human adult only eats about four pounds of food a day. 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. Elephants are not only grazers but also browsers, which makes it easier for them to find food."

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. Relationship Between the Golden Jackal and the Tiger Type of Relationship: Commensalism Who Benefits?"

"text": "\"Home »Nature Blood Sucking Insects & Bugs By Jean Godawa; Updated February 22, 2018From nectar-drinking bees to carnivorous mantids, insects have a diverse assortment of mouth designs particularly suited to their preferred diet. 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."

We see lots of Grey Squirrels, which have both Black and Grey types, and there is occasionally the smaller Red Squirrel. The Flying Squirrel is found in the Carolinian forest in Southern Ontario and because of the shrinking of its habitat of mature hardwood (oak, maple & beech) it has been designated as a Rare Species. These shy, nocturnal, creatures have a membrane stretched between their wrists and ankles, and a tail that acts as a rudder.

"text": "Diabetes-Friendly Drink Recommendations By Susanna Deering (11) Comment Food and eating can be a stressful thing when you have diabetes. 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."

"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."

Their babies, called fawns, are born approximately seven months later in the early spring or summer. 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."

"text": "\"Elizabeth Goldberg, \"\"amateur ornithologist\"\" for many years Answered Aug 31, 2015 · Author has 497 answers and 807.9k answer views My first suggestion is, of course, find a licensed wild bird rehabilitator near you and bring the dove to her. 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.)"

Doves are more flighty and may abandon the eggs or chicks if you bother them too much. Watch them from a distance. Don't try to feed them because you will only be inviting other birds in and that may cause them to abandon the nest.

You need to provide them with a nest box and suitable nesting material. I usually place some nesting material in the nest box and then provide more on the cage floor. This allows the male to pick up the material and take it to the female sitting in the nest. This material should include small round pieces that the baby bird can grasp with his toes. This prevents the legs from spreading out sideways making it impossible for the baby to walk. You also need to provide them with food, grit, and water or they will not stay in the nest on the eggs. The birds usually lay two eggs, two days apart. Once the baby has hatched it will begin to soil the nest with its stools. Most diamonds will then want additional nesting material to cover the old, dirty material."

They're found in rural areas throughout the United States. In some states they're hunted as game birds, while in others they're protected as song birds. Mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) are sloppy nest builders, loosely joining sticks and twigs to form a nest that is easily knocked to the ground by winds and storms. Abandoned Newborns Baby doves that have fallen from their nest can be replaced. The parents will not abandon them because you've touched them. If you find newborn mourning doves whose nest has fallen to the ground, you may be able to repair and replace the nest. Observe the nest to be sure the parents return to care for the babies. Another alternative is to hand-feed the babies until they're weaned. Raising baby birds is about a four-week commitment."

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.

A: In my personal opinion, it is best. I understand if you don't have any on hand or can't get the vitamins for a few days, but do your best to introduce them as soon as possible. Continue using the liquid vitamins until the birds are able to eat independently. Q: Will this work for another type of bird?

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'."

"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. 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."

These birds have the mobility to leave the nest soon after birth; in fact, one group of birds called megapodes is so well developed at hatching that hatchlings can fly almost immediately. Eagles are examples of altricial birds, which are birds born in a less developed state that must be cared for by their parents."

If you are served undercooked meat, poultry or eggs in a restaurant, don't hesitate to send it back to the kitchen for further cooking. Wash hands, kitchen work surfaces, and utensils with soap and water immediately after they have been in contact with raw meat or poultry. Be particularly careful with foods prepared for infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. Wash hands with soap after handling reptiles, birds, or baby chicks, and after contact with pet feces. Avoid direct or even indirect contact between reptiles (turtles, iguanas, other lizards, snakes) and infants or immunocompromised persons. Don't work with raw poultry or meat, and an infant (e.g., feed, change diaper) at the same time. Mother's milk is the safest food for young infants.

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

Continue Reading Keep Learning What does a baby mallard duck eat? What is a group of baby ducks called? What do mallard ducks eat? 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."

On another occasion, the ladies of the house thought they heard a prowler. After a call to the police department, two officers came by to check on their safety.

You’re the proud caretaker of a new duck, and you face one of the most basic questions of pet ownership. What exactly do you feed a duck? Live Ducks.com offers a great duck feeding resource, which we’ve summarized here. This is a compliation of the knowledge of various avian veternarians, wildlife caretakers, breeders, and all around experts. Make sure your ducks have access to water while they eat. They don’t have teeth and use water to soften food. One of the key things to avoid when feeding your pet duck is any food that is medicated, always use non-medicated foods. Poultry farms and commercial operations will use medicated foods to prevent communicable diseases in waterfowl."

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. ."

It was wonderful to see the ducks waddle over to my backyard in a line every morning while I had my coffee to gouge themselves. Then, one afternoon, I noticed three big rats had discovered our little piece of heaven. Not being a killer I decided to try to scare them off with the water hose, then a daisy BB gun.

That’s because although you are what you eat, your breast milk isn’t, so much. The basic fat-protein-carb combo of human milk isn’t directly dependent on what you eat. Even women who aren’t well fed can feed their babies well, since if a mom doesn’t consume enough nutrients to produce milk, her body will tap into its own stores to fuel milk production. That said, you'll still be aiming for plenty of nutrient-dense foods and steering clear of less healthy ones. And lots of your favorite foods are back on the menu. How Many Calories Do You Need? Just because you can make milk on a less-than-adequate diet doesn’t mean you should. The goal when you’re nursing should never be to deplete your body’s store of nutrients."

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. The use of their wings by birds in flight varies greatly. The chimney swift moves its wings quite rapidly and continuously, with intervals of gliding, and they are shaped long and narrow throughout."

Their brightly-colored, iridescent feathers and quick movements make them appear as living sun catchers—hence their nickname, flying jewels. They have a unique ability to fly in any direction, even backward, with their wings beating up to a blurring 80 beats per second. Plus, they can hover in midair when sipping nectar from brightly–colored flowers with their long, slender beaks. While whizzing about the garden, hummingbirds expend so much energy that they must eat at least half their body weight each day to replace the calories that they burn up. This means eating almost constantly—from sunrise to sunset—and visiting over a thousand flowers every day. You can hear the call of a ruby-throated hummingbird here.

It is also unique in that it is able to fly backward and sideways, and can also hover, go forward, up or down. The hummingbird also possesses an unusual hovering pattern, and is able to move its wings in a figure of eight pattern, a symbol for infinity. This holds a message for us – often we find ourselves stuck in time, regretting or longing for the past, or hoping that the future will bring better things, building castles in the sky. We are shown how to view the past and then let go, rather than be continuously caught up in it, we learn how to appreciate that the past creates are future, and that even at the time some lessons were harsh and hurtful ones, we wouldn’t be who we are without these lessons today.

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. Spider silk is a critical material for building hummingbird nests, and insects provide necessary protein for the mother bird to feed her growing chicks."

They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) in length. 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).

"text": "\"Maintaining a Hummingbird Feeder essential information Proper care of hummingbird feeders requires a significant commitment on your part. Before you start feeding hummingbirds, make sure you will be able to spend the requisite time. If you do not follow the instructions below, visitors to your feeders could leave with a serious and deadly fungus infection This infection causes the tongue to swell, making it impossible for an afflicted hummingbird to eat. 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. Although \"\"artificial nectar \"\"is not nutritious, supplementing a hummingbird's diet with sugar water from a feeder can give it vital, renewed energy to continue searching for nutritious food."

"text": "\"In general, the best answer to this question is \"\"Leave baby birds alone.\"\" If a baby hummingbird already has feathers, it's probably time for it to leave the nest; even though it may not yet be a strong flyer, it has to learn somehow and handling it is not going to help in that endeavor. 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. At first this may seem dispassionate, but all baby hummingbirds will not survive, and one that is out of the nest too soon may be defective in some way."

"text": "What Do Peregrine Falcons Eat | Peregrine Falcon’s Feeding and Diet The peregrine falcon (Falconidae) is admired for its spectacular diving attacks at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. They are so quick in the air that they could even get hold of the most acrobatic birds. Unique among falcon’s behavior is that it hunts other birds in the air. What Do Peregrine Falcons Eat Peregrine falcons will strike birds with the devastating impact as birds make much of the falcon’s diet. Falcons that live in the coastal regions are known to feed on seabirds. The peregrine falcon’s diet includes 95% of medium-sized birds such as songbirds, pigeons, waders, doves, and waterfowl. According to a rough estimate, falcons eat around 1,500 to 2,000 different bird species worldwide. The prey can be as small as hummingbirds (weighing only 3 grams) to as large as sandhill crane (weighs up to 3.1 kg). However peregrine falcons prey on birds that weigh up to 20 grams such as small passerines. Falcons will consume around 100 shorebirds which is the most birds predated by any bird in the North America."

Applying the band I am a licensed hummingbird bander. 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.

Hummingbird Facts Bee hummingbirds are the tiniest of all birds, weighing less than an ounce and measuring only 2 inches long. Their brightly-colored, iridescent feathers and quick movements make them appear as living sun catchers—hence their nickname, flying jewels. They have a unique ability to fly in any direction, even backward, with their wings beating up to a blurring 80 beats per second. Plus, they can hover in midair when sipping nectar from brightly–colored flowers with their long, slender beaks. While whizzing about the garden, hummingbirds expend so much energy that they must eat at least half their body weight each day to replace the calories that they burn up. This means eating almost constantly—from sunrise to sunset—and visiting over a thousand flowers every day. You can hear the call of a ruby-throated hummingbird here.

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).

"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."

Normal 4 hour RAIU is generally between 5 to 15%.% Uptake= [ (net neck counts - net thigh counts)x 100] / (net standard counts)The RAIU test provides a useful assessment of thyroid function: in general, the higher the iodine uptake, the more active the gland. Note, however, that in patients with hypothyroidism such as Hashimoto's disease, the % uptake may be low, normal or high depending on the steps affected in thyroid hormone synthesis. This is therefore of no value in establishing the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Indications RAIU test may be helpful in the following clinical conditions: To confirm hyperthyroidism To calculate therapeutic dose of I-131To determine autonomous thyroid tissue (i.e. toxic nodules, - combined with thyroid scan)To determine the cause of thyrotoxicosis** The most useful role of RAIU test is in determining the etiology of thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis simply refers to excess thyroid hormone in the body and may be due to overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), or other causes such as inflammation of the gland (thyroiditis) or ingestion of excess thyroid hormone.

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."

"text": "\"Toxic Chemical Found in Breast, Cow's Milk Perchlorate May Be More Widespread Than Thought, Researchers Say By Salynn Boyles From the Web MD Archives Feb. 24, 2005 - A toxic chemical found in rocket fuel is present in both cow's milk and human breast milk at levels that could cause harm, research shows. Investigators found high levels of the chemical perchlorate in 46 of 47 store-bought milk samples from 11 states. And 36 samples of human breast milk tested from a randomly selected group of women living in 18 states contained even higher levels. The findings suggest that the chemical may be more widespread than has been believed, researchers say. Perchlorate has been found in drinking water from 35 states and occurs naturally at very low levels in the environment. \"\" We have known that perchlorate is present in cow's milk, but this is the first study to look at breast milk,\"\" Texas Tech University researcher Sandy K. Dasgupta, Ph D, tells Web MD. In the Texas Tech University study, the average perchlorate concentration in breast milk was approximately 10 micrograms per liter. That was roughly five times higher than the average amount found in cow's milk (2.0 micrograms per liter). Continue Reading Belowyou might like No national standards exist on safe perchlorate levels, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has suggested a limit of 0.7 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. If, for example, a 9-pound baby drinks 24 ounces (0.7 liters) of milk containing perchlorate amounts found in the study, it will drink more than twice the suggested limit."

Logan Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2003.11.033 Get rights and content Abstract Anaerobic bioreactors have been developed to remove perchlorate from water, but backwashing and operational interruptions can expose biofilms to oxygen. 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. It was determined that cells exposed to dissolved oxygen for more than 12 h were incapable of reducing perchlorate."

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. Additionally, the bound water reduces with increased temperature and concentration [ 2206 ], and may vary with the nature of the counter-ions and any other solutes present."

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. Moreover, a second anion binding site that could accommodate the assumed reaction intermediate Cl O‾ for further transformation has been identified near the active site. The environment of the heme cofactor was investigated with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Apart from the high-spin ferric signal of the five-coordinate resting-state enzyme, two low-spin signals were found corresponding to six-coordinate species."

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.

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. It is wise to treat any unknown material, especially crystals in solvents known to form a peroxide (e.g., ethers), as very hazardous until it is positively identified."

The water on Mars is so full of salts, called perchlorates, that it wold be highly toxic to humans and plants. Perchlorates are so toxic, in fact, that several states in the U.

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.

Townsend, Extension Entomologists University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Bagworm Bagworm caterpillars make distinctive 1.5 to 2 inch long spindle-shaped bags that can be seen hanging from twigs of a variety of trees and shrubs. 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. Each uses silk and bits of plant material to make a small bag that protects and camouflages it as during feeding and growth. Bagworm caterpillars feed for about six weeks, enlarging the bag as they grow and withdrawing into it when disturbed."

A much cleaner option is to drop the caterpillars in a bucket of soapy water. The pests will die on contact with the solution. Destroying Nests Tree caterpillar nests look like silken bags hanging in branches. You can either remove each nest by cutting the silken string at its top and then dropping the entire nest in soapy water or tear the nest open with a stick and let birds prey on the caterpillars inside. The pests feed during the day when the sun shines."

"text": "Native to the humid, temperate coastal ranges from Oregon to southern Alaska, the Alaska-cedar or Nootka falsecypress (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) can tower 90 to 120 feet tall. When grown in garden settings, the tree usually peaks at a height no more than 45 feet. The cultivar Pendula is a more ornate form, with markedly more drooping scaly foliage, looking like an upright tree with weeping branches. Grow this weeping selection in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8. Growth Size Cultivar Pendula eventually matures to 20 to 35 feet tall with a spread of lowermost branches 12 to 20 feet wide. Not a good tree for regions with hot, arid summers or arid winters with drying winds, the weeping Alaska-cedar may mature to a smaller size in colder-winter regions, such as in USDA zones 4 and 5. In the wild, Alaska-cedar trees attain a dwarfed mature size at higher elevations in the Pacific Northwest. Growing Requirements Alaska-cedar trees have a moderate growth rate. Expect healthy plants to add around 8 to 12 inches of height or branch length annually. Growth is fastest and lushest in regions with high ambient humidity and warm summers -- not hot and dry summers."

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. Typically, untreated trees die after 4 to 8 years, depending on their size, stress level, and location. Trees of all sizes and ages are attacked. Adelgids reach maturity between late winter and early spring at the base of individual needles, covering themselves with white, cottony wax for protection. They lay brownish orange eggs under the cottony wax that hatch from February through June."

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.

A butterfly and a moth goes through four stages of life; 1) Egg 2) Larva (caterpillar) 3) Pupa (or butterfly chrysalis) 4) Imago (winged adult butterfly or moth) (Although female bagworm moths only have rudimentary wings - which never become large.)

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 official language of the Bahamas is still English, but many Bahamians speak a unique dialect of the language. Here, the locals combine British English with language taken from their native African, Irish, or Scottish heritage. The islands' Haitian residents also speak Creole. Trying to speak in a local accent is something you probably should not attempt in public without the help of a professional. In short, you'll just sound silly. Still, it's fun to try an accent in your hotel room. But when talking to locals, it is best to use your native accent. The Bahamian people understand what you are saying - even if you have a little trouble catching onto their dialect.

Baha Mar Resort Photographer: Dawn Mc Carty/Bloomberg Here, no one frolics pool-side, pina colada in hand, or hits irons on the Jack Nicklaus golf course. No slot machines jingle-jangle in the casino. The Flamingo Bar, the Brasserie des Arts and the Cartier boutique lie dark. On this bright October morning in the Bahamas, all 2,200 guest rooms are empty. The quiet is almost spooky here on the outskirts of Nassau, where the waterscape frills of nearby Paradise Island give way to the vast ghost-resort that is Baha Mar. Just how the place ended up like this -- in a bankruptcy so colossal that it’s jeopardizing the Bahamas’s credit rating -- is the biggest business story to hit this Caribbean nation for as long as anyone here can remember. It stretches far beyond the white beaches and across time zones, to none other than the State Council of China. ‘Big Boys in the Room’Turns out that even in paradise, local aspirations can collide with China’s global ambitions. Baha Mar may have been dreamed up in the vacationland of the Bahamas, but the central government in Beijing controls the development bank and construction giant that will determine its fate. And China, some Bahamians say, is playing tough as its state-run enterprises project money and influence around the world, including to this small island 180 miles off the coast of Miami."

For many years the islands were governed indirectly through Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. When the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, the islands received their own governor, and have remained a separate autonomous British Overseas Territory since. In August 2009, the United Kingdom suspended the Turks and Caicos Islands' self-government following allegations of ministerial corruption. [ 2] Home rule was restored in the islands after the November 2012 elections."

[ 1] In his early days in New York 's Greenwich Village, Tony Mc Kay (his self-given name) performed in small clubs and bars. Later, along with his then-partner and lifelong friend, Sally O'Brien, and several musician friends, he launched EXUMA - a seven-person group that toured and recorded albums, starting with Exuma: The Obeah Man in 1970 and ending with Rude Boy in 1986. His songs invoke influences from calypso, junkanoo, reggae, African music and folk music with his lyrics dealing heavily with Obeah. His backing band known only as the Junk Band has included names such as Sally O'Brien, Bogie, Lord Wellington, Villy, Mildred Vaney, Frankie Gearing, Diana Claudia Bunea, and his good friend Peppy Castro.

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. Today's top news by email The local news you need to start your day SIGN UPThe U. S. Coast Guard also continued to search for an American-flagged cargo ship with 33 people aboard that likely sailed into the storm’s path through the southeastern portion of the Bahamas archipelago. Rescue crews had not located the 790-foot-long cargo ship, named El Faro, as of late Sunday but reported finding debris in the area. As relief efforts commenced in earnest Sunday in the Bahamas, the extent of the storm’s destruction began to emerge.

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."

As the scale of my operations increased I became known as a speculator. Now I am called a banker. But I have been doing the same thing all the time. -- Sir Ernest Cassel (1852-1921)In gambling, the many must lose in order that the few may win. -- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)The gambling debate in the Bahamas has always been surreal - part of a weird fantasy world that is difficult to navigate with logic. There are two zones to this strange world - one in which three or four hotel casinos operate legally as tourist amenities, and another populated by hundreds of illegal Numbers sellers catering to tens of thousands of Bahamian gamblers. The casino zone originated in the 1920s, when Prohibition in the US offered a chance to make huge profits from bootlegging. Money flowed freely, and millions were invested in real estate, with new resorts like the Colonial and Montagu Hotels coming on stream. Although organized gambling was officially banned nationwide, a small casino called the Bahamian Club began operating seasonally in 1920 on New Providence, catering to a very restricted clientele."

Corporations, individuals, partnerships, trusts, and estates (including nonresident controlled Bahamian corporations) all enjoy this immunity.

Being a spiritual symbol for the native people in America for far longer than that, this regal bird is not really bald, but its white-feathered head gleams in contrast to its chocolate-brown body and wings. In flight, the bald eagle holds its broad wings flat similar to a board. The bald eagle dwarfs a majority of other raptors, including the Red-tailed Hawk and the Turkey Vulture. Once endangered by illegal hunting and poisoning through pesticides, bald eagles have really flourished under protection.

Bald Eagles are tolerant of human activity when feeding, and may congregate around fish processing plants, dumps, and below dams where fish concentrate. 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. Bald Eagles sometimes gorge, ingesting a large amount of food and digesting it over several days. They can also survive fasting for many days, even weeks. Back to top Nesting Nest Placement Bald Eagles nest in trees except in regions where only cliff faces or ground sites are available."

Its range stretches from northern Mexico to Canada and Alaska and covers all of the continental United States (Wikipedia. Bald Eagle). Due to a variety of factors, including use of the pesticide DDT, by the 1950's bald eagles were nearly extinct in the contiguous United States. The 1940 Bald Eagle Protection Act prohibited commercial trapping and killing of bald and golden eagles, and more significantly, DDT was banned in 1972 when it was proven that the pesticide interfered with the eagle’s calcium metabolism, causing either sterility or unhealthy eggs with brittle shells (Wikipedia. Bald Eagle). In 1973, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act, and the bald eagle was listed as an endangered species (Wolfe and Bruning, 1997). In 1995, when eagle populations in the continental U. S. began to rebound, the bald eagle was removed from the endangered species list and transferred to the threatened species list. On June 28, 2007, bald eagles were removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (Wikipedia. Bald Eagle)."

Since 1782, the bald eagle has been the United States' national emblem and mascot. The bald eagle isn't actually bald; it gets its name because its white head against its dark brown body makes it seem bald from a distance. Even though they are a symbol for freedom in the United States, these birds are known for harassing smaller birds and stealing their prey, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. According to PBS Nature, Benjamin Franklin once said, \"\"For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. … Besides he is a rank coward: The little king bird not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly, and drives him out of the district.\"\" Franklin wanted the wild turkey to be the national bird, according to the American Eagle Foundation.

Eaglets have downy feathers, which are replaced by juvenile feathers between 10 and 13 weeks after hatching, when they are ready to fly.

Forty years ago, our national symbol was in danger of extinction throughout most of its range. Habitat destruction and degradation, illegal shooting, and the contamination of its food source, largely as a consequence of DDT, decimated the eagle population. Habitat protection afforded by the Endangered Species Act, the federal government’s banning of DDT, and conservation actions taken by the American public have helped bald eagles make a remarkable recovery. Bald Eagle Biology Distinguished by a white head and white tail feathers, bald eagles are powerful, brown birds that may weigh 14 pounds and have a wingspan of 8 feet. Male eagles are smaller, weighing as much as 10 pounds and have a wingspan of 6 feet. Sometimes confused with golden eagles, bald eagles are mostly dark brown until they are four to five years old and acquire their characteristic coloring. There is a distinction between the two species, though, even during the early years. Only the tops of the bald eagle’s legs have feathers. The legs of golden eagles are feathered all the way down."

"text": "Answer by Melodybrooke Confidence votes 189A Bald Eagle's diet consists mainly of fish, sometimes making up to 90% of it's diet. 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.

Weighing up to 15 pounds (7kg), with a wing span of up to 7 feet (2m). Color - Adult golden eagles are brown with tawny on the back of the head and neck; tail faintly banded. One way to distinguish a golden eagle from an immature bald eagle is leg plumage. A golden eagle's legs are entirely feather covered; an immature bald eagle's lower legs are bare. As seen while in flight, juvenile golden eagles have white patches at the base of the primaries; the tail is white with a distinct dark terminal band. It takes four years to acquire adult plumage."

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. The majority of the time, these hooks are used for elastic rubber bands. Rubber bands can be used in many different configurations."

Braces and retainers are a type of treatment for people with crooked teeth or a misaligned bite. Many general dentists can help with basic alignment and orthodontics, but orthodontists specialize in correcting irregularities of the teeth. The dentist or orthodontist will generally conduct a clinical exam, take photos and impressions of your teeth, and order X-rays of the mouth and head. In some cases, a removable retainer will be all that's needed to correct the irregularity but in most cases, braces will be needed. How do braces work? Braces apply continuous pressure over a period of time to gradually move teeth in a specific direction. As the teeth move, the bone structure also changes shape as the pressure is applied."

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."

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. If the only thing you are doing to address the discomfort you are experiencing is wearing a brace, you are missing a huge part of the equation towards actually getting rid of your injury!Straps These band-like devices wrap around the bottom of the knee (sometimes above the knee) and apply pressure to the tendon."

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."

"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. Based on diagnostic tools that include a full medical and dental health history, a clinical exam, plaster models of your teeth, and special X-rays and photographs, an orthodontist or dentist can decide whether orthodontics are recommended, and develop a treatment plan that's right for you."

I also asked the assistant was there anything else I needed to get done before the treatment and she said no, we did everything already (xrays, photos, etc) I'm getting In-Ovation C's, if that helps any. So, my question is--does everyone needs spacers? Or is it selective depending on the case?

"text": "\"What are Separators, Spacers and Orthodontic Bands? August 7, 2012 Dr. Joseph Thompson An Orthodontist uses many different items to move teeth. A lot of people have heard of separators or spacers. Yet, they don’t know what they are or how they are used. Some of the items that an orthodontist will use during treatment are separators (spacers) and orthodontic bands. Separators are used to create space between teeth. An orthodontic band is the older style of braces that are usually used in the posterior part of the mouth. An orthodontic band is a band of stainless steel metal that wraps around the tooth. It is held in place with special dental cement. A band can be used on any tooth however they are not very aesthetic in the front."

"text": "\"Pediatric Dentistry A Blog Dedicated to Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics And Especially the Friends and Patients of Alabama Pediatric Dental Associates and Orthodontics Tuesday, September 27, 2005When is the Best Time to Start Braces? When we move teeth orthodontically, what happens is that a small pressure exerted over a long period of time stimulates the cells in the bone to resorb in the direction of tooth movement. Once a space is made, the tooth is pushed into the space. Bone fills in behind where the tooth once was located. The process repeats itself again till the tooth is in the final desired position. This process can take place at any age. Yes, you can get braces at 40 years of age! The only caveat is that it usually is easier when the patient is younger. Isn’t most everything? There are however, certain things that can only be done in a growing patient (a preteen or teenager)."

Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected. If left untreated, these problems can result in tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and earaches, as well as speaking, biting or chewing problems. When is the right time for braces? Patients with orthodontic problems can benefit from treatment at nearly any age. An ideal time for placement of braces is between 10 and 14 years of age, while the head and mouth are still growing and teeth are more accessible to straightening. However, because any adjustments in facial appearance can be traumatic to a child during these sensitive years, parents should discuss the matter with their children before braces are applied. And braces aren't just for kids. More and more adults are also wearing braces to correct minor problems and to improve their smiles."

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.

"text": "Beliefs about autobiographical memory Beliefs about autobiographical memory and why they matter. 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. Rather, it is how such accounts are to be judged in an informed way, where memory is the only evidence."

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?... Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence... would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy.

"text": "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (James Thurber 1939) James Thurber is one of America’s best known humorists, and “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is his best known story. The story was first published in 1939 in the New Yorker magazine to great acclaim. It was reprinted in Thurber’s 1942 collection, My World — And Welcome To It and in Reader’s Digest in 1943. 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. Some critics dismissed his work as little more than formulaic and whimsical. More recently, critics have become attentive to Thurber’s literary prowess, such as his use of wordplay and attention to narrative form."

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. In the 40X micrograph the cells of the taste buds and its taste pore are visible. © 2004 Texas Histopages."

"text": "\"The Tongue and Taste Prev NEXT2007 How Stuff Works While the tongue's muscles guide food between the teeth and shape it so that it's digestible, the peripheral sense organ is perhaps better known for its role in the perception of taste. 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."

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. Previous article Next article Current Opinion in Neurobiology 2014, 29 :9–16This review comes from a themed issue on Neuromodulation Edited by David Mc Cormick and Michael P Nusbaum For a complete overview see the Issue and the Editorial Available online 4th May 2014http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conb.2014.04.0080959-4388/© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 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 ])."

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. First, it can extend vertically from the cerebrum to the rest of the body via projection tracts."

Olfactory receptors and cranial nerve I: The olfactory receptors are neurons within the olfactory epithelium ( #15100) located in the upper nasal cavity. Axons leave the olfactory receptors and synapse in the olfactory bulb. These axons are called the olfactory fila ( #11847 ), which collectively make up cranial nerve I ( olfactory nerve ). They enter the anterior cranial fossa through the cribriform plate ( #4477) of the ethmoid bone ( #5186 ). The fila that make up the olfactory nerve are torn from their insertions into the olfactory bulb when the brain is removed from the skull.

"text": "How do taste buds work Common perception is that the small elevated buds in the tongue are taste buds. That’s not true. Small elevated buds are papillae and they belong to four different kinds – fungiform, filiform, and foliate and vallate. Fungiform and filiform care found in the tip of the tongue extending to the middle while foliate and vallate are seen from the middle to the back of the tongue. Taste buds that we talk about are located within these papillae grouped in numbers ranging from 2 to 250. Taste buds are described to be in the shape of onions or small navel oranges. Taste buds have about 200 cells that can be classified as a receptor or basal. Taste buds have 5 primary taste senses – salt, sweet, bitter, sour and umami. Tastants produce tasting ability by response to dissolution of ions and molecules. Taste receptor cells help us in detecting taste."

Somatic and Visceral Sensory Systems of the Head Revised July 14, 2010The objectives of this chapter are to: Describe the organization of the trigeminal sensory system, the somatic sensory system of the head. Describe the organization of the visceral sensory system of the head, including taste sensation. The trigeminal sensory system is the somatic sensory system of the face and mouth. The cranial nerves mediating visceral sensation, including taste, are VII, IX and X. (Smell is described in Chapter 14). I. Trigeminal Sensory System The sensory portion of the trigeminal nerve (V) ( #5323) innervates the face, except the angle of the jaw, and head as far back as the vertex, and the anterior external ear ( #11459 ). Review briefly the three major sensory divisions of the trigeminal (\"\"triplet\"\") nerve. What is the peripheral dermatomal distribution of each division? In addition to innervating skin, these sensory nerves also innervate the Lips, oral mucosa, teeth and oral tongue (anterior two-thirds)Cornea and conjunctiva, eyes and orbital contents Nasal, paranasal sinus, and nasopharyngeal mucosa Tympanic membrane Temporomandibular joint Cranial dura, dural vessels, dural sinuses and major cerebral arteries (except for the posterior fossa)The organization of the conscious somatosensory system of the head is similar to the organization of the anterolateral and DCML systems. Primary sensory neurons have cell bodies in a sensory ganglion and send central axonal processes into the CNS."

Frequently, these symptoms occur 1-2 weeks after medication administration and last several months. While such a phenomenon is a rare occurrence, it nonetheless can significantly impact patients’ satisfaction and quality of life. Evidence Acquisition: The methodology consisted of a thorough literature search using the MEDLINE and Cochrane databases utilizing keywords such as anosmia, ageusia, olfactory disorders, postoperative, and anesthesia. Results: Our results yielded several previously published case report, and were not limited to a specific type of anesthesia. Based on available literature, we review the physiology of taste and smell as well as the medications associated with loss of these senses. We describe perioperative agents that could lead to postoperative complications associated with anosmia and and ageusia."

[ 1] Qualitative alterations differ from quantitative alterations, which include anosmia and hyposmia. [ 2] Dysosmia can be classified as either parosmia (also called troposmia) or phantosmia. 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. It is typically considered a neurological disorder and clinical associations with the disorder have been made. [ 3] Most cases are described as idiopathic and the main antecedents related to parosmia are URTIs, head trauma, and nasal and paranasal sinus disease. [ 4] Dysosmia tends to go away on its own but there are options for treatment for patients that want immediate relief. ["

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.

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'."

"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."

The OCS attrition rate is 30–50%. It is located at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Depending on the course, Officer Candidates go through either a 10-week (PLC Combined/OCC), or two 6-week courses (PLC) over separate summers, designed primarily to screen and evaluate candidates' fitness to lead Marines by placing them in leadership positions in a stressful environment. The 10-week course only happens after a candidate's junior year of college.

Sound like terms from a college course catalogue? Perhaps, but in this case the terms are from Federal Reserve training guides for banking supervision and regulation staff. The Federal Reserve System fields an examiner staff of about 1,500, with roughly 600 at the New York Fed and 92 at the Minneapolis Fed. Including the other federal banking regulatory agencies, there are about 10,000 depository institution examiners nationwide — and that figure excludes state bank examiners. That adds up to a lot of people doing a lot of examining and a lot of learning. Examiners need a wealth of knowledge to weave their way through the maze of regulations and procedures that depository institutions must follow. With the continuous changes in the delivery of financial services, large amounts of money exchanged electronically worldwide at a lightning-rapid pace, new investment tools like derivatives, changes in standard accounting procedures and more, there are volumes of information for new and seasoned examiners to digest. Which takes us back to the academic catalogue terms — the Federal Reserve and other agencies provide a training regimen for examiners that might weary any full-time college student, but in fact is followed while examiners also do their job."

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."

"text": "By Todd Schoepflin Every so often the terms we encounter in an Introduction to Sociology textbook are a little boring. Sometimes the examples are outdated, other times the discussion just lies flat on the page. As much as I love teaching an introductory course, I even tire of the material occasionally. But then a student speaks up and the concepts jump off the page. While teaching two basic concepts in sociology this semester-- ascribed status and achieved status --I gave the usual examples for each. An ascribed status is involuntary, something we cannot choose. Race, ethnicity, and the social class of our parents are examples of ascribed statuses. On the other hand, an achieved status is something we accomplish in the course of our lives. To some extent, achieved status reflects our work and effort. College student, college dropout, CEO, and thief are examples of achieved statuses. ("

Here’s how it breaks down: Police Officer Careers Basics Police officers are sworn to protect and serve the communities in which they live and work. They enforce laws, obtain warrants, arrest and interview suspects, secure crime and accident scenes, write detailed reports and testify in court, among other duties. Officers often respond to emergency calls, working shifts that operate around the clock. Police officer Careers In-Depth The specific duties of a police officer will be numerous and diverse. Based on appointment, length of service and training, they may work with a K-9 unit responding to suspicions of drugs or dangerous weapons in vehicles and other property. Or, they might take a role on the SWAT team where they need to know tactics and procedures for working under dangerous conditions.

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."

"text": "Mermaid’s purses are the egg cases of dogfish and skates. 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. None of these larger sharks produce ‘mermaid’s purses’ but give birth to live young. In any case they are not known to breed Irish waters."

Share Flipboard Email Print Pablo Cersosimo/Robert Harding World Imagery/Getty Imagesby Jennifer Kennedy Updated August 13, 2017Cartilaginous fish are fish that have a skeleton made of cartilage, rather than bone. 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. A cartilaginous fish's skin is covered in placoid scales, or dermal denticles, tooth-like scales different from the flat scales (called ganoid, ctenoid or cycloid) found on bony fish."

Job 3:8Job 3:8 says, \"\"May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse leviathan\"\" (NIV). The KJV has \"\"their mourning\"\" but the marginal note says, \"\"Or, Leviathan.\"\" The Hebrew is clearly, /tywl, \"\"leviathan.\"\" Job wishes that soothsayers would have conjured up leviathan to swallow up the day of his birth (NIV note). When there was an eclipse of the sun or moon the ancients believed leviathan swallowed them so total darkness prevailed until he released his prey (Delitzsch, 1976, 78). Job may be calling on the giants Ohya and Ahya who battled Leviathan before they were destroyed in Noah’s flood according to the Book of Giants (TDOT 1995, Vol.7, 506).

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. Some sharks have been known to eat items including coal, oil, trash, and clothing that finds its way into the water.

Some Sharks Lay Eggs, Some Give Birth to Live Young Share Flipboard Email Print Paul Kay / Getty Imagesby Jennifer Kennedy Updated April 11, 2018Bony fish produce large numbers of eggs that may scatter throughout the ocean, sometimes getting eaten by predators along the way. In contrast, sharks (which are cartilaginous fish) produce relatively few young. 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. After mating, the fertilized eggs may be laid by the mother, or they may develop either partially or fully inside the mother."

"text": "Pelagic Sharks Pelagic or oceanic sharks live in the open waters of seas and oceans. 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? Overfishing is the overwhelming threat, with open ocean longlines using hundreds if not thousands of hooks each catching the greatest volume of sharks globally."

"text": "How Many Teeth Do Sharks Have Posted by: admin Posted date: June 19, 2012 In: Animals Comment : 0 7,668 views Sharks’ teeth are arranged in series; when one tooth is damaged or lost, it is replaced by another. 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."

Like all hermit crabs, an individual of this species carries around a heavy shell that it uses for protection. It does not build this shell, however. 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. To do so, both individuals must partially emerge from their shells."

ANGEL SHARK:flat body like a stingray -- you can tell the shark is not a ray because the pectoral fins are not attached to the head. They bury themselves in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the top of the body exposed. They are bottom feeders, eating crustaceans like clams and mollusks and fish that are swimming close to the ocean floor BASKING SHARK:second largest shark (about 30 feet long and 8,000 pounds)filters plankton from the water using \"\"gill rakers\"\"BLACKTIP REEF SHARK (Carcharhinus melanopterus):does well in captivity so is often found in aquariums (which is why we have so many photos of them)grey with a black tip on its fins and white streak on its side BLACKTIP SHARK (Carcharhinus limbatus): Blacktip Sharks are different than Blacktip Reef Sharks (this confused me for quite some time)!They are usually about 5 feet long although the longest on record was about 9 feet long.during breeding season every February and March, around 10,000 congregate along the Florida coastline. It's like spring-break vacation for sharks!BLUE SHARK:about 12 feet long.sleek, tapered bodyamong the fastest swimming sharks and can even leap out of the waterdiet consists mostly of squid, but it will eat almost anythingconsidered dangerous - have attacked people BULL SHARK:third most dangerous to peoplecan swim in salt and fresh water and have even been found in the Mississipi river. COOKIECUTTER SHARK:a small shark (less than 2 feet long)eats perfecty round chunks out of living whales and dolphins by clamping its teeth extremely sharp teeth onto them. GOBLIN SHARKvery uncommon and likely the strangest looking shark (rarely seen the photos were actually taken in 1909)pale, pinkish grey skin with a long pointed snout (it looks a bit like a sword on top of its head)lives in very deep water.found off the coast of Japan in 1898... until that time it was believed to have been extinct for 100 million years GREAT WHITE SHARK:more attacks on people than any other type.averages 12 feet long and 3,000 pounds.unlike most sharks, it can lift its head out of the water. HAMMERHEAD SHARK:unlikely to attack people, but considered dangerous due to its predatory nature and its size (10 to 20 feet)eyes and nostrils are far apart, giving it a \"\"hammerhead\"\" appearance and allowing the shark to extend the range of its senses.their favorite food is stingrays. Luckily for the sharks, they're immune to the stingray's venom.

I don't think Tom is giving the scientific community due credit here. Nature is messy, rarely fitting into the neat categories we try to impose upon her. We humans are very good at recognizing patterns. We are so good at finding patterns that we are able to create order where none may, in fact, exist — recall the classic optical illusion consisting of a pattern of irregular black blotches that resolves itself into a quite convincing Dalmatian sniffing at an unseen something on a leaf-strewn footpath (see page 130 of: Rock, I. 1984. Perception . Scientific American Library, W. H. Freeman and Co., New York.). The blotches are not the dog, the map is not the territory, and the individual scientist is not the process of Science. Scientifically speaking, biological classification serves two main purposes: 1) a basis for generalization in comparative studies and, 2) an information storage system. Linnaean binomial nomenclature is thus merely an expression of current ideas about how this or that organism can be grouped with others, a kind of short-hand that allows taxonomists to discuss a 'work in progress'."

These animals have been prowling in the oceans for around 400 million years and have evolved into 440 different species. Sharks are known to live for many years. So, let's read through the article and know all about the lives of different varieties of sharks. Sharks are spread in all the seas and are known to be the strongest predators among marine creatures. These wild marine animals can live for up to 20-30 years while the whale sharks have a long lifespan of up to 100 years. Sharks have excellent eyesight and can see objects moving even in dim light. Strong smell and touch senses make them amazing and smart predators. With the gift of such wonderful sensory abilities, their prey animals can hardly escape these deep water beasts, once they are tracked by them. Sharks have cartilage and have less bones."

"text": "Megamouth Shark Pictures Megamouth Shark Photos - An Extremely Rare and Unusual Speciess The megamouth shark is an extremely rare and unusual species. When the first megamouth was captured in 1976, a new shark family, genus and species, Megachasma pelagios , had to be instituted. Only a few have ever been seen, with 40 specimens known to have been caught or sighted as of 2008, ranging through the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. 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. The capture in a drift net of a megamouth shark in California in 1990 was very important in understanding the species. The megamouth shark was tagged and released, and followed for two days. Its pattern of behavior, staying at a depth of 50 feet during the night, then diving to 500 feet at dawn, would indicate it is a vertical migratory over a 24 hour span."

"text": "\"What Do Sharks Eat and Why We Shouldn't Be Scared of Them? Sharks were known as 'sea dogs' until the 16th century. Although the history behind the origin of their name is uncertain, one thing remains common - they are still regarded as one of the most feared marine organisms. 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. Although the kind of food that sharks eat is more or less the same, it is interesting to know the various mechanisms they resort to while feeding."

"text": "\"Fishing For Largemouth Bass ...continued Copyright © Brian Myers, All Rights Reserved Feeding Habits of the Largemouth Bass: The newly hatched largemouth bass feed heavily on tiny crustaceans and other zooplankton until the bass reach 2 inches in length. 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."

We reach for baits that have rested in our tacklebox for years, like comfort food on a Sunday morning. These \"\"go-to baits\"\" evoke strong memories of battles won and lost, but are selectively not remembered for the many hours of casting without a hit. On your next trip, as you peer into your bait box, ask yourself if you're missing a key element that bass feed on. How often are you throwing baits that imitate sunfish? 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). Canopy cover at stream sections that support blackside dace is usually over 70 percent (O’Bara, 1985).

"text": "State Fish Offers Hot Angling Action in Oklahoma By Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife Conservation First posted on 03-24-2010Of all the official state symbols Oklahoma claims, the white bass is the favorite for anglers, especially in the coming weeks when the native fish begin their annual spawning runs up creeks and rivers that feed into lakes across the state. 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. “"

Typical ocean forage fish feed near the base of the food chain on plankton, often by filter feeding.

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."

Redfish continue to be the most prominent fish in the area. They are feeding well and aren’t too picky about what they take. If you are able to bring some Mullet along, this is generally a good bet however Shrimp or similar artificial will work as well. Bigger fish can be caught towards St. Augustine. Generally we see Spotted Seatrout going hand in hand with many Redfish catches. Black Drum and Sheepshead are slowly heating up but they haven’t fully fired up just yet. Sheepshead are taking the usual baits as they hang out on structure. Anglers are also avoiding the Sharks that have been putting up an aggressive fight in the Atlantic Beach area. They are a lot of fun to fish for but can be annoying when they’re not the target of your bait, or should we say, their bait."

Taxon March 23rd, 2008, 8:15 pm Site Editor Plano, TX Posts: 1278 Mind2it- How does water temperature specifically affect trout insect hatches? 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. For example, if the threshold were 34 degrees, and the average water temperature for the day were 39 degrees, any insect immature in that water would have accumulated 5 degree-days."

"text": "White Sea Bass Fishing White Sea Bass Fishing in Southern California - Techniques & Seasons White Sea Bass Fishing in the spring White sea bass fishing usually begins sometime in the spring with March the typical first month to see good number of white sea bass. White sea bass fishing at this time of year is done mainly around offshore islands such as Catalina Island or San Clemente Island with other islands also having good prospects. 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. As spring continues white sea bass may also be taken on sardines or mackerel as well as anchovies as they become less keyed in on one food source. White Sea Bass Fishing in the summer By summer you can catch white sea bass on almost any bait or jig. Still favorite baits are large sardines, mackerel, and live squid. White sea bass are also caught in the fall and winter months but usually other game fish are taking the spotlight at this time."

"text": "\"Home Pond Problems Pond Management Guide Pond Info Links Summary Contact Us Pond Management for Better Fishing Several strategies are available to provide fishing enjoyment in small ponds, but goals must be realistic. A small pond simply won’t be productive enough that large numbers of big, healthy game fish can be harvested year after year. One also can’t expect to only remove the top predators (largemouth bass) from an ecosystem and expect it to stay in balance. A small pond’s environment is suitable for a limited number of gamefish species, mainly bass, sunfish and catfish. Many “lake fish” such as northern pike ( Esox lucius ), muskellunge ( Esox masquinongy) and walleye ( Stizostedion vitreum) will not do well in a pond setting. Most warm, shallow ponds in Southeastern Pennsylvania will not support trout; when introduced, those fish that are not caught will inevitably die by midsummer if water temperature increases or dissolved oxygen levels drop. The recommendations on this page are brief and broken into four sections: Habitat manipulations, Stocking fish, New ponds, and restoration. A few notes on fish appropriate for stocking in Pennsylvania are also included. Much of this information was kindly provided by Richard Kurtz of Kurtz's fish Hatchery. Habitat manipulations Ponds with large aquatic plant beds are more likely to have stunted sunfish populations."

"text": "by Jon Smith 4 Apr 2014 Difficulty: Beginner Length: Medium Languages: Composition What You'll Be Creating When composing a song, the obvious place to focus on is the melody. In fact, I wrote a series of tutorials providing tips for composing melodies recently, which you may find useful if you're struggling with this part of song writing ( Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 ). 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. This works fine for some people, completely naturally as they're able to do this by ear."

They had placed several scrappy white bass in the livewell when one of the anglers hollered, \"\"I've got a good one; he's takin' line!\"\" Thirty seconds later they heard the \"\"snap\"\" of breaking fishing line.

The Conservation Department produces hybrids by using the sperm of native white bass to fertilize the eggs of striped bass, an introduced species. The Conservation Department has stocked hybrids in select Missouri waters to provide anglers with trophy-sized gamefish and to introduce a predator that could feed on large gizzard shad."

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."

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."

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. This not only reduces the amount of pesticides introduced into the environment, but also saves society billions of dollars each year. Bats’ economic value to agriculture alone is estimated by some to be more than $3 billion ii a year."

In the story of Stellaluna, the character, herself, is a fruit bat. She is voiced by Chiara Zanni in the animated adaptation. Contents [ show]History Stellaluna got separated by her mother after an owl attacked them and gets adopted by a family of sparrows. As a mother bird delivered worms to her babies, Stellaluna refused to eat one, but her hunger soon made her give in and eat bugs. She and the other birds hung upside-down until the mother bird says that this trait is dangerous. The mother bird will only let Stellaluna be with her only for eating grubs and not hanging upside-down. She is a bit clumsy to fly until she gets her wings stuck on a branch. One of the flying foxes was her mother and the flock of bats got surprised that Stellaluna discovered them. Returning to Pip, Flitter, and Flap, Stellaluna realizes who she is: a flying fox bat."

"text": "What Do Hawks Eat | Hawks Feeding behavior and Diet Like eagles hawks are large birds of prey primarily known for their fresh hunt. They are among the most potent predators. Hawks are carnivorous. They are known to rely on carrion for their consumption. Hawks also feed on truly putrid flesh. Crab hawk (Buteogallus aequinoctialis) is most likely to consume crabs at the coastal mangroves and as a result of which the bird earns its name. What Do Hawks Eat The white-necked hawk (Leucopternis lacernulata) seems to rely almost exclusively on insects. It rarely takes on vertebrates. The bat hawk (Macheiramphus alcinus) prey bats probably because they have a wide mouth to swallow it. Cooper’s Hawk The Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperiik) is likely to ambush its prey by perching on a nearby site."

Olga Khazan Jul 29, 2014 Health Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size Like The Atlantic? Subscribe to The Atlantic Daily, our free weekday email newsletter. The worst Ebola virus outbreak ever is ravaging Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. So far, the disease has killed 670 people and infected more than 1,000, including an American doctor and aid worker. One reason why Ebola is so terrifying is that there’s no cure, and the fatality rate is roughly 60 to 90 percent. Those who catch it and don’t get treated early will very likely die. Since 2008, past outbreaks of Ebola have killed a few dozen people at most. So, what makes this one so much worse?"

As predators of night-flying insects (including mosquitoes! ), bats play a role in preserving the natural balance of your property or neighborhood. Although swallows and other bird species consume large numbers of flying insects, they generally feed only in daylight. When night falls, bats take over: a nursing female little brown bat ( Myotis lucifugus) may consume her body weight in insects each night during the summer. Contrary to some widely held views, bats are not blind and do not become entangled in peoples' hair. If a flying bat comes close to your head, it's probably because it is hunting insects that have been attracted by your body heat. Less than one bat in 20,000 has rabies, and no Washington bats feed on blood."

Sometimes, they are known as the \"\"Guardian of the Night.\"\" It is largely misunderstood and so therefore many of its symbolic meanings are inappropriately fear-based. The bat is a symbol of rebirth and death because it is a creature that lives in the belly of the Mother ( Earth ). From the womb-like caves it emerges every evening at dusk. And so - from the womb it is reborn every evening. A bat in flight. It is also a symbol of communication because the Native Americans observed the bat to be a highly social creature. Indeed, the bat has strong family ties. They are very nurturing, exhibiting verbal communication, touching, and sensitivity to members of their group."

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. But more recent evidence has supported dividing the order into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera, with megabats as members of the former along with several species of microbats. Many bats are insectivores, and most of the rest are frugivores (fruit-eaters). A few species feed on animals other than insects; for example, the vampire bats feed on blood."

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."

"text": "Butterfly Symbol Meaning in Feng Shui and Chinese Culture By Susan Wong | Submitted On January 30, 20112 1 2 1 2In China, butterfly has been a popular symbol for centuries. 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. The image of butterflies can also be used as a temporary cure for any area of your life that needs transformation."

The symbolic nature of the characters contributes to the story's richness. Each of the different animals contributes to the overall theme. The most vividly drawn character is the \"\"coffee-colored\"\" bat who refuses to stay asleep during the day. This bat is something of a rebel. He observes things that the other bats have never seen and wants to write about them. Like the poet in society, the bat is the observer for those who are too wrapped up in conformity to truly see. As an individual, the bat must also learn what he thinks is important, even if learning this causes him great difficulty."

Symbols - Representations - Correspondences Animal Symbols, Astrology Symbols, Celtic Symbols, Zodiac and Horoscope, Love Signs, and other Magic Symbols, Emblems, Glyphs, and Tattoo designs we take for granted today as static signs of religious or secular life were created long ago and through modern Iconography have been revealed as representations of our world—our universe—the movements of earth and heaven, symbols of the seasons, and representations of cosmic and earthly deities. Over time, these ancient symbols have acquired layers of increasingly complex meaning, and this evolution of meaning tells us much about how we developed our ideas about the nature of life and the universe. Signs used in modern magick and Western religious traditions such as the Celtic symbols, zodiac symbols, Egyptian symbols, tattoo symbols, dream symbols, kanji symbols, religious symbols, love symbols, ancient symbols, mystic signs and symbols, Greek symbols, Irish symbols and their symbol meanings, share a common ancestry that dates before the creation of writing.

Supplementation can also be used to prevent fatigue in novice athletes. Leucine plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis, while isoleucine induces glucose uptake into cells. Further research is needed to determine valine’s role in a BCAA supplement. Supplementing BCAAs prevents a serum decline in BCAAs, which occurs during exercise."

Put very simply, amino acids are the building blocks of life. When you ingest a protein, your body breaks it apart into the individual aminos, reorders them, refolds them and turns them into whatever is needed at the time."

"text": "\"Jay Brown, Personal Trainer, Professor, Ph DAnswered Mar 6, 2017 · Author has 399 answers and 404.7k answer views Amino acids and specifically BCAAs—amino acids with aliphatic side-chains with a branch--are important in muscle synthesis. 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)."

Completing several hundred kettlebell swings followed by several hill sprints really makes me feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. The results they produce are great too. There’s nothing like a hard workout for getting stronger, burning calories, losing fat, and building muscle. There is a common problem that most of us often experience after a hard workout. It’s so debilitating that it can make training hard enough to get results difficult. This problem is excessive post-workout muscle soreness. The soreness can begin anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after your workout and lasts for at least 2-3 days. It can be so bad that it hurts to sit and walk.

It contains a relatively diverse range of potentially (but not definitely) effective fat-burning compounds, as well as BCAAs (for some reason)…FIND IT HERESupplement Facts CAFFEINECaffeine is a well-established ergogenic aid/cognitive enhancer, and also happens to be the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world. 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."

A University of Illinois study found that taking 5mg per kilo of bodyweight (equivalent to two to three cups of coffee) an hour before the gym did the job.2. Green tea extract It’s packed with a compound called EGCG, which has been shown to increase energy expenditure by releasing stored body fat for fuel.

L-arginine This amino acid is the key precursor to nitric oxide, which opens up blood vessels to give you a better “pump” when lifting. A study in the Journal Of Strength And Conditioning Research also found it stimulates the release of growth hormone.4. Beta-alanine It’s found in many pre-workout formulas because it enables you to lift heavier for longer by preventing the accumulation of hydrogen ions in muscle cells, which is what causes fatigue.

Interested? Take BCAAs. They’ll change fitness and weight-lifting as you know it. 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."

First of all, “BCAA” stands for “branched-chain amino acids.” These amino acids make up 35% of your muscle mass and are usually used in hopes of reducing muscle soreness, supporting muscle growth, and sustaining muscle mass. BCAAs are “essential,” which means that they must be consumed through what you eat and drink, as opposed to “non-essential,” meaning that your body can manufacture them for you with proper nutrition."

"text": "Know your BCAA - 4 differences you didn't know Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) consist of three key essential amino acids, Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. 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. Because of its importance, many supplement companies market the idea of a higher ratio, such as 4:1:1, 8:1:1 or even 10:1:1, as being superior."

Something like this: Take your pre workout within 30 minutes of activity Take your post workout protein within 30 minutes of finishing your workout Why do this? Because aside from the importance of hourly nourishment through a grade-A weight training diet, the sooner you bring in nutrients and protein after activity, the better your body will repair. So then why don’t we simply take our protein and recovery supplements during our workouts? After all, if taking protein an hour after is good, 30 minutes after is better; then wouldn’t during be BEST? In theory, during is best, however, your standard protein and recovery supplements won’t cut it, and for a good reason: mechanical digestion. What is mechanical digestion?"

March 30, 2018 • 3 min read BCAAs were crucial nutrition for humans long before they were a supplement. Here's how some common protein sources stack up in amino acid content!Q: I like BCAA supplements, but I know that essential amino acids are also found in many foods. What are the best dietary sources of BCAAs? Branched-chain amino acid supplements are extremely popular for boosting protein synthesis during and after training sessions, in addition to providing a convenient between-meal spike in the muscle-building amino acid leucine. However, with the explosion in popularity of BCAA supplementation, the role of dietary sources of these essential amino acids is often overlooked. Chewing and swallowing your amino acids will never be as easy as simply mixing a powder in water. On the other hand, you can't live up to your full potential on supplements alone. Real foods offer a lot of valuable nutrition in addition to amino acids, so it's important to include them in your diet."

"text": "One of the most effective ways to be lean and strong for life is to familiarize yourself with the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). A few of the most compelling reasons to know about BCAAs include the following:• BCAA metabolites were found to be a significant indicator of lean mass in a population of young and middle-aged adults.• People who consume a threshold dose of essential amino acids that contain BCAAs with every meal have less visceral belly fat and more muscle mass.• BCAAs trigger protein synthesis and inhibit the breakdown of muscle cells.• In healthy people, BCAAs improve glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity. In diabetics, BCAA dietary intake with other therapeutic interventions may improve metabolic markers.• BCAAs play an important role in muscle and energy production during exercise, which is the reason that they are often used during workouts.• BCAAs convey many health benefits and a higher dietary intake has been identified as a predictor of longevity.• They have ben found to reduce muscle soreness from intense muscle-damaging exercise.• They improve training motivation, especially when fatigued. 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."

"text": "\"Woolly Bear Caterpillar: A Winter Weather Predictor or Not? Most people in the Midwest or New England have heard at one time or another that if you want a forecast for the upcoming winter that you should just look for a woolly bear (black at both ends and a reddish brown or rust colored in the middle) or fuzzy bear caterpillar. This same caterpillar is called the woolly worm in southern United States. 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."

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."

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."

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."

"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. Cost: Professional application of spray polyurethane is typically calculated by the board foot, which is measured like this: 12\"\" wide x 12\"\" long x 1\"\" thick."

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

Thought about a trench in the slab, but future flexibility would still be limited. Going with a crawl space would enable access for all the usual things now and in the future. It would be conditioned space (see Building Science Corp. web site for more on that), insulated and with a slab.

( 4.7L Long-Block Photo Courtesy of Mopar® Performance)American Motors’ most significant and enduring contribution to Jeep® was the seven main bearing inline six. While most associate this engine design with ’72-up models, the architecture dates to 1964 and first appeared in 1965 Jeep J-trucks. 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. The aluminum-and-iron combination proved far less reliable than expected, and 1961-65 Rambler 196 cubic-inch, aluminum-block inline sixes required frequent head bolt re-torquing—or inevitable head gasket failure and block deck damage. 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. M. and Ford each abandoned four-main sixes, Chevrolet by 1963, Ford following in 1965. G. M. introduced the 194 in the compact 1962 Chevy II, Rambler’s direct competitor."

True crawling with the stomach off the ground and the baby frequently on the move usually develops between 7 and 11 months of age and lasts anywhere from a week to 4 months before the child switches to walking. Even after taking their first unaided steps, most babies still crawl part of the time until they have mastered walking."

"text": "\"Q. My son is almost 9½ months old, and he still hasn't started crawling yet. Is this normal? A. 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. Instead, mellow babies tend to be earlier in their visual and social development.2. Baby's weight. Bigger babies tend to sit up, crawl, and walk later than leaner babies."

Anne H Zachry I work as a pediatric occupational therapist, so my ears always perk up when I hear parents comment about their child’s motor skill development. I recently heard a parent proudly exclaim, “My baby never crawled. She was an early walker!” I cringed just a bit. 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. Why? There is growing evidence that crawling plays a role in the development of an infant’s strength, balance, spinal alignment, visual-spatial skills, and socio-emotional development."

In the absence of proper nutrition bearded dragons can suffer from a range of problems, including obesity and metabolic bone disease (MBD) whereby they are unable to absorb suitable calcium from their diet. This can lead to weaker bones, swollen joints or, in extreme cases, malformed skeletons or paralysis. Fortunately we know more than ever before about bearded dragon diets so its now possible to provide exactly what your beardie needs by following a few simple rules. Contents [ show]Introduction to Bearded Dragon Diets Bearded dragons are omnivores; this means they eat both meat and plants. In captivity this generally means a combination of live insects and an assortment of vegetables. Leafy vegetables offer arguably the best source of plant-based nutrition, though this can be supplemented in moderation with fruits, herbs and a number of wild and garden plants. What is perhaps most interesting in terms of a bearded dragon’s diet is that it changes over the lifetime of the lizard. That is to say that while the main constituents of the diet remain stable, the ratio of insects to plant matter changes as a bearded dragon matures."

Although feeding your pet isn’t very difficult there are a few issues to keep in mind when presenting the next meal. These issues may not be exactly life threatening they can cause your bearded dragon undue suffering and stress. Here are some common issues when feeding a bearded dragon and how to avoid them. Issues When Feeding Live Prey If you feed your bearded dragon many insect feeders at one time the crickets, or mealworms can easily find a hiding spot before the bearded dragon has a chance to gobble them up. Crickets will quickly run off underneath or behind decor items as fast as they can. If you place a lot of crickets in the habitat, the bearded dragon may miss them before it has finished it’s meal. To avoid this you can feed your bearded dragon one cricket at a time using tongs, or by hand if you aren’t worried about being accidentally bitten. You can also use the Cricket Feeding Rock made by Exo Terra. The Cricket Feeding Rock is a splendid way to easily feed your bearded dragon crickets in a convenient, non-messy fashion."

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."

"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."

You should always leave fresh vegetables in the cage, but three times per day you should feed your beardie insects. You should give them as many insects as they can eat within a 10-15 minute time period. After the feeding time is done, you should take the remaining insects out of their tank."

"text": "\"Gerard Manley Hopkins Peter Cash undertakes a close reading of seven poems Introduction Nottingham University, October 1968: As a fresh undergraduate, my first-ever class was on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. 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. In Part II, there follow my commentaries on two poems (4."

"text": "\"Aristotle: Ethics Standard interpretations of Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics usually maintain that Aristotle (384-322 B. C. E.) emphasizes the role of habit in conduct. It is commonly thought that virtues, according to Aristotle, are habits and that the good life is a life of mindless routine. 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. This stable equilibrium of the soul is what constitutes character. Similarly, Aristotle’s concept of the mean is often misunderstood."

"text": "Avoid Stretch Marks and Get Rid of Cellulite!Stretch marks, cellulite, and other skin imperfections actually signify a nutrient deficiency. Stretch marks are not hereditary. When it comes to stretch marks or cellulite, keep in mind that what is happening on the surface of the body is a direct reflection of the breakdown that is occurring beneath the surface. This means that in addition to stretch marks, cellulite, and wrinkles, you may also feel the breakdown of connective tissue in your joints, circulatory system, or even in the intestinal lining. When workout videos claim to bust cellulite and topical creams claim to dissolve stretch marks, they are only addressing part of the problem. Stretch marks are not hereditary. Which means - if your mom had them while pregnant, it does not mean that you will too. Stretch marks are not necessarily the result of rapid growth, although they can result from rapid growth. For example, they can occur during puberty, bodybuilding, or pregnancy. The most common mistake is to believe that fat creates cellulite."

"text": "\"Michelangelo - Sculptures Michelangelo's sculptures are all marked by his genius, which gives to the actual marble an importance of expression that no cast, no copy can render. The sight of the actual work, even to one who knows it well by the photograph, engraving, or the cast, is a special sensation like that of the quality of a voice in music, untranslatable by another. For a Roman gentleman by the name of Gallo, in 1497 Michelangelo made the Bacchus which is now in Florence, at Museo Nazionale del Bargello. Bacchus, a realistic study of a young drunkard, reveals the artist's fondness for a momentary movement, the passing of one action into another. Michelangelo - Pietà Saint Peter's Basilica, Vatican At the age of twenty-four, the young Michelangelo was to imagine and execute with marvelous skill one of the most important statues of the world, unrivalled in the union of profound feeling and esthetic bloom of beauty. His friend Gallo obtained for him the order for what is called Pietà, the Virgin with the dead Christ on her lap, which was to be made for the French Cardinal of St. Denis. This was promised within a year, and carried out as promised (finished in 1499), and guaranteed also by Gallo to be the finest marble \"\"which Rome today can show, and that no master of our day shall be able to produce a better.\"\" The business engagement of Gallo was carried out even in that particular of a work superior to all others. The statue has still for us the solemn charm which surprised the Romans at the end of the15th Century. The extraordinary knowledge acquired by the youth is felt in the beautiful body of the Christ, not copied, but studied from nature."

Here, in this lovely picture of womanhood, is a woman who embodies the qualities which every believing woman should strive for in her personal life and appearance, in her family life, and in her daily duties. The woman described in Proverbs 31 is so exemplary and so virtuous, and so diligent to perform all her duties that women today, who have a heart to please God, may find it difficult or even discouraging to try to follow her example.

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."

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. A mole in the center of the nose is a bad sign and people with these may have a tendency to overspend, be inveterate gamblers and voracious flirts. They have a problem knowing when to stop and resist temptation."

But first, I'm always surprised to see people reading the novel, rushing to the movie, and then expressing disappointment with remarks such as, \"\"there are gaping holes.\"\" A 2-hour movie is a 110-page screenplay, which means a 300-page novel becomes a 6-hour miniseries.

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)."

What Is Considered Bold Sterling Silver Jewelry? Credit: International Gem and Jewelry CC-BY-SA 2.0Full Answer The \"\"925\"\" imprint means nothing in relation to gold. Gold is not usually assayed at 92.5 percent purity, as this is not a standard value for gold. Gold can be found at 91.7 percent purity, but gold of this purity is usually stamped \"\"22 karat.\"\" Many gold pieces that carry a \"\"925\"\" stamp are actually gold plated."

We love all of our Frenchies so much that it is impossible for us to decide which is our favorite because they all are so unique and different. Whatever your particular preference is, we will eventually have the perfect puppy for you!You can look at the first FAQ regarding the Breed Standard to see what the AKC says about acceptable and non-acceptable colors, but we know from experience that reading this information can be a little confusing. To try to better understand the available colors and patterns, it is helpful to read descriptions we found on Wikipedia. Even these folks recognize that there is more than a little confusion on colors and color patterns as stated in the AKC standard. What they say is that “all terms regarding color and colorations should be taken subjectively, as there is a great deal of difference of opinion within the Frenchie community as to which term defines which color”. In case you haven’t as yet read the AKC color standard, here it is: “Acceptable colors – all brindle, fawn, white, brindle and white, and any color except those which constitute disqualification. All colors are acceptable with the exception of solid black, mouse, or liver; black and tan; black and white; and white with black, which are disqualifications (for dog shows). Black means black without a trace of brindle."

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. One of the primary reasons the fish is symbolic in Japanese culture is because it is known for swimming upstream no matter what the conditions are. These fish are even said to swim up waterfalls."

"text": "Apostrophes are primarily used to show possession, though they have a number of other common uses, as well. Possessive Case The primary use of the apostrophe is to indicate the possessive case. Singular Possessive To form a possessive with a singular noun, use an apostrophe followed by an s. 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. Though this guideline is easy to follow, it does not follow the norms of pronunciation, and it can therefore seem unnatural. Examples: Last night we had dinner at Mr. Lewis’ home. He loves to read about Jesus’ miracles. Have you read Mr. Chavez’ report?"

"text": "\"Beauty & Style Skin & Body Tattoos What do the 3 dot tatoos mean on the hand. ? 9 following 18 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The original three dot represents a gang member gangbanging with each other as equals. Adding two more dots represents a gangster who earn the right to command others or a senior gang member known as an \"\"OG\"\", original gangster. One surrounded by others in protection. As a Sureño (gang) symbol, the tattoo is worn between thumb and forefinger because it is believed to be harder to remove. The Sureño gang number is thirteen, using Arabic or Roman numerals, or a combination of both: 13, XIII, or X3. This signifies the 13th letter of the alphabet, the letter M, meaning \"\"La Eme\"\" or \"\"The M\"\"; the Mexican Mafia. Numerals are also incorporated into the tattoos, such as Tres Puntos (\"\"Three dots\"\") or X3, which is the representation for the number 13 within the Aztec numeral system. [ citation needed] This may explain the origins of the tattoo amongst Hispanic gang members. However, along with the pachuco cross, the three dots is also a popular \"\"generic\"\" tattoo among Hispanic teenagers with no gang involvement whatsoever."

Their vision extended well beyond music, and in the late '70s, Devo became the first American band to make big-budget videos. Jerry explains why. Jerry Casale: We stupidly believed that laser discs were about to happen because we read all the scientific magazines and Popular Mechanics and audiophile mags and they were saying this was on the verge of happening, and certainly the technology existed. We didn't realize that what American business would do, which is typical of American business and human nature in general, was create three competing systems to confuse the consumer and make it impossible to buy a unit that would play laser discs except for that person's catalog."

On some subconscious level, we look forward to hearing the first whistles and clicks because they energize us, even if only to a small extent. Throughout history, humanity has been obsessed with birds. They represent a variety of traits that we, humans, aspire to achieve and incorporate into our daily lives. Although the characteristics embodied by each species of avian is vastly different, all birds speak to the most coveted trait - the desire to be free. Humanity's earliest inventors were inspired to take flight simply because they were envious of the birds' ability to move uninhibited across the sky. Abbas Ibn Firnas, the first human to attempt flight, adorned himself with a contraption made of feathers and other accoutrements and jumped from the top of the tallest building in his home town. Abbas was somewhat successful, managing to glide for a short distance before crashing to the ground.

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! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth ” (Gen 8:10-11). When Noah sent the dove out after another week, the dove didn’t return (Gen 8:12) indicating that the floodwaters had receded enough to now support life. Doves were also sometimes given as sin offerings for those who couldn’t afford lambs, rams, goats or heifers (Lev 5:7-11)."

"text": "\"Bad Art is Not Primitive Art Since the first stage of anything is usually undeveloped and unfinished, a popular meaning has grown up for the word \"\"primitive\"\", denoting something crude - lacking that certain accord of lines, spaces or colours, which is the source of our emotional sensation when we look at a real work of art. 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."

"text": "In Preston Hollow, Mark Cuban's growing property holdings have some neighbors worried Dallas City Hall Nov 2014Tom Benning, Washington Bureau Don't miss a story. 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. And long-term, they worry about what kind of development might come to their quiet, well-heeled neighborhood. “"

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. ;"

These letters indicate that the ring in question is guaranteed to contain gold that has a purity grading equal to or greater than the amount stamped, which is 10 karat in this case.

Credit: Malte Sorensen CC-BY 2.0Full Answer The additional letter is used because many markets give jewelers up to half a karat of \"\"wiggle room\"\" when marking purity levels. This means that a ring marked as 10k might only have a purity rating of 9.5k. The KP mark indicates a product that has a higher purity level than other gold products that have the standard karat-only marking.

"text": "\"WHAT IS WABI-SABI? The Japanese view of life embraced a simple aesthetic that grew stronger as inessentials were eliminated and trimmed away.-architect Tadao Ando Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. 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. It's a richly mellow beauty that's striking but not obvious, that you can imagine having around you for a long, long time-Katherine Hepburn versus Marilyn Monroe."

Some readers and pest control operators claim to smell “the bed bug smell.” Many others don’t. ( Don’t be surprised if you don’t.) I’ve heard it called “sweet” or “musty” or compared to “ripe raspberries. ”Entomologist Dr. Lou Sorkin of the American Museum of Natural History has told me he thinks bed bugs smell like coriander. Coriander (aka Cilantro) [87] Originally uploaded by Ken Kuhl And he has had a lot of time to ponder this: in addition to going on bed bug calls, he has a colony of bed bugs living in a jar in his office. A famous bed bug colony, I might add, one which features alongside Lou in the local and national news media."

Read below for details about flea identification and ways of their elimination. How to Recognize a Flea Before proceeding to treatment, it is necessary to be sure that the bugs you see are really fleas. Effective riddance and control depends to a large extent on targeting the right action to the right insect. So, what do they look like?

Mosquitoes are one of the world’s most harmful pests and seemingly indestructible pests, and for years on end Singapore’s National Environment Agency have been trying to put these pests under control. It is however a losing fight if the citizens of Singapore themselves don’t join the fight. One of the most effective factors that affect mosquitoes either positively or negatively is scent, and most mosquito repellants rely on this. However, some mosquito repellents are not only harmful to mosquitoes but to human beings as well. So, what smells do mosquitoes hate? 1. Garlic Mosquitoes hate garlic and everything associated with it, including smell. To be a repellant against mosquitoes, incorporate garlic in your diet, and mosquitoes will avoid you. If you don’t like the taste of garlic don’t worry, you can just crush it and rub the fluid on your body; that will turn these bloodsucking pests away too."

"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. 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."

Newly hatched nymphs are tiny—about 1/16th of an inch. Nymphs—which look like small adults—become adults in 5 weeks. They go through 5 molts to reach adult size—meaning they shed their old, smaller skin 5 times. They must feed before each molt. Females can produce 5-7 eggs per week, laying up to 500 in a lifetime. Bed bugs grow fastest and lay most eggs at about 80°F. They feed only on blood."

Contact Author Caulk: Best Bed Bug Extermination Technique Caulk for keeping bed bugs from coming though the walls, and other prevention methods.| Source The Power of Caulk Against Infestation Truly getting rid of bed bugs means understanding how to keep them from being driven deeper into your home, or into your neighbors home. 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. In most homes there are small cracks around the baseboards, these cracks need to be sealed up as well. Learning how to caulk to seal your home against bed bugs is one of the most important ways to prevent and solve bed bug problems."

Although I have an easy to follow page on how to get rid of bed bugs, I thought those of you who are feeling down and hopeless would find her story uplifting! You can do it – don’t listen to the naysayers!Hello,Sorry it’s a bit long winded but I wanted to include the fine detail; had I known then what I know now, it would have helped me more than I can express, so here it is!I believe you can fight Bed Bugs but you have to be mentally tough, if not call an exterminator (very expensive AUD $1,000+ and no guarantees)… I’m hoping to reduce the stress/costs involved for you by sharing what I now know…. do everything thoroughly or you’ll be doing it all over again…. it’s quite an emotional journey, be prepared to shed many tears but never, ever, never give in – after all they are just a bug… isolate and keep on vacuuming/steaming/Fossil Shell flouring (see below for instructions on how I killed bedbugs)……and stay strong!I refused to let a tiny bed bug beat me!I knew the battle would be long!I diagnosed the problem quickly and took action… I’ve been lucky with only a light infestation; in hindsight I panicked and did so much that wasn’t necessary, purely because I didn’t have the knowledge (heaps of information on the internet) and I had no idea where they were!If you’ve decided to tackle them yourself be prepared for a long journey (many months to a year is my guess), but through dedication it can be done, I want to do it myself as I know its being done thoroughly by someone who cares… ME!I highly recommend drowning yourself in knowledge about Bed Bugs/their eggs and their bites; check them out on the internet for a few days before doing anything (stay calm). 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. Kill them yourself My recommendations for going into battle are a bug steamer, Fossil Shell flour, mattress cover, cheap plastic containers with double sided tape (tape from Bunnings) around the outside for under bed/chair legs.

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."

Navy military for drug detection An English Springer Spaniel on duty as a detection dog with the British Transport Police at Waterloo Station A detection dog or sniffer dog is a dog that is trained to use its senses to detect substances such as explosives, illegal drugs, wildlife scat, currency, blood, and contraband electronics such as illicit mobile phones. [ 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. Detection dogs are also seeing use in the medical industry, as studies have revealed that canines are able to detect specific odours associated with numerous medical conditions, such as cancer."

These insects have been around for centuries, and they are so well-adapted to feeding on human that most people may not be aware when they are being bitten. They generally feed when people are sitting calmly or sleeping, and they particularly enjoy feeding at night. Adults can survive for up to 2 or 3 months without feeding, which is one adaptation that has ensured survival. During the middle of the 20th century, they were in decline in America. Perhaps this was because people were knowledgeable about their existence and frequently used pest control methods to control them. However, in the past few decades, people’s worries diminished because their rare presence in homes. In the past few years, the United States has seen a dramatic increase in the number of reports.

Over 1.5 million Brazilians are already believed to be infected with the dengue fever-like infection and 3,500 babies have been born with underdeveloped brains, a condition known as microcephaly. This is the result of on of the most hated insects known to man. Thankfully, that’s some of the worst of it. Many other critters on this list aren’t necessarily deadly to us but are definitely annoying. Some destroy our food and cost us millions of dollars each year. Some have incredibly painful stings with welts which can last for months at a time."

Not only is it annoying, it puts you at an increased risk of developing a secondary skin infection. The thing is that when you first get in your hotel room, you do not notice anything wrong and have no clue about the presence of bed bugs. Most people discover the issue the next morning when they have bites all over their bodies. What should you do then? First thing first, understand that bed bug prevalence is definitely on the rise, and motels and hotels are among their favorite hangouts. Not doing anything to avoid contact with these pesky critters can cause severe itching and welt-like bites. Even if you do not get bitten, you may end up bringing them home with you. If that happens, you will have to spend a lot of money to get them out of your home."

"text": "Why Do Bees Need Nectar And Pollen? 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."

The bee will suck nectar until she has extracted all that is within her reach. The nectar is stored in a honey sac, a second stomach, until she returns to the hive. The nectar load is transferred to worker bees in the hive who suck the nectar from the honey sac through their proboscis.

Producing nectar nectaries are in the form of flat points, bumps, grooves, often located deep in flowers, and sometimes they are hidden in special thickening of sepals or petals. Nectaries are less frequently on stems, petioles, stipules and bracts. Quantity ofnectar varies greatly in different species, for example, tropical orchids of the genus Coryanthes has up to 30 g, a common lime – 0,15-7,46 mg, macrophylla – 0,5-11,54 mg, raspberries (on average) – 14 mg, clover – 0.16 mg. Honey bees and other insects of the family of the bee recycle collected nectar and pollen in honey and ambrosia. The same plants often serve as a source nectar and pollen. Some plants (poplar, birch, cherry, etc. ), in addition, secrete resinous substance, from which the bees make glue – propolis. Honey plants are classified mainly by flowering time, the nature of a harvest and habitats. By flowering time they are most often divided into four groups: early spring, spring, summer, autumn."

"text": "Image: Nate Swart Why do flowers smell? 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. Until the past few decades, however, the biochemical process of scent production remained a mystery."

Found globally, bees are winged insects of the order Hymenoptera, super-family Apoidea. There are more than 20,000 recorded bee species. Megachile pluto, the largest of these creatures, is reported to be 3.9 cm long, while Perdita minima, the most diminutive of bees, are shorter than 2 mm long. Bees can be black or brown with red, yellow or lustrous blue stripes. Behavior, Diet & Habits While some bees are solitary, species such as honey bees and bumble bees are tremendously social. Bee colonies are comprised of three castes: the queen bee, infertile female worker bees and male drones. The queen mates and lays eggs for the span of her life. Honey bee queens can live up to five years, though most average a lifespan of two to three years. Male drones exist solely to fertilize the queen and die soon after having fulfilled their task."

"text": "Nectar collection by honey bees While folks envision industrious honey bees bringing home loads of silken nectar, they often don’t account for the other payloads that arrive on the landing board. Honey bees actually collect three other substances: pollen, water, and propolis. Today’s post is a brief overview of nectar collection. Later I’ll write about the other three. Nectar is usually secreted from glands called floral nectaries that are found in various places in a flower depending on the species. They are usually found at the base, but may also be on the sepals, petals, or stamens. While foraging bees climb deep inside the flower looking for the sweet liquid, pollen sticks to the bee’s body. On any given foraging trip, honey bees tend to visit only one species of flower. As she travels from flower to flower she inadvertently picks up more pollen grains while some of the previous ones rub off on the anthers of the next flower. Quite accidentally—at least from the bee’s perspective—cross pollination has occurred."

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. That may be desirable to some, but for growers who aren’t the biggest fans of cloning, seed production is key.

"text": "\"The Secret Lives of Honeybees: How Honey Gets Made Jacqueline Raposo Profile Twitter Facebook Contact17 Printer-Friendly Version [Photographs: Max Falkowitz]Honeybees are fascinating: Each bee colony can house as many as 80,000 bees during the busy flowering season. 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."

The most significant damage that bees cause is the removal of the moisture barrier, building felt, and vapor barrier in walls.

Only when armed with the facts can we really consider whether honey is healthier than sugar!In order to add further perspective, I added in a further food (although not in table form): actually an apple!Why an apple? Well why not? Especially where minerals are concerned, I thought it would be a good idea to compare honey with an additional every-day, healthy food. However, honey is not just about nutrition Nutrition is not the whole story with honey and its health benefits. For one thing, honey contains specific anti-bacterial properties and has been found to assist in controlling MRSA in hospitals."

Of all the honey I’ve tasted, I’d have to say that Acacia honey is right up there in terms of what really makes me happy What is the best honey in the world? Many consider it to be just that! Read all about this amazing honey below and see if it tempts you to run out and buy a jar. This honey is very pale. If it hasn’t been mixed with other floral sources, it will look like liquid glass, very exquisite indeed. It has a mild, sweet, floral flavor; and is, therefore, one of the most popular honey varieties. It is a good choice for mixing with beverages because it sweetens without changing the taste of the drink. It is also an excellent choice for cooking because of its mild flavor and because it mixes easily in liquids and batters."

Gnats are a dragonfly's main food, and these often congregate in small swarms over water- this is why dragonfly's usually live near ponds, rivers or streams, and can be seen in fine weather flitting about above the surface of the water and hovering, trying to catch a meal.26 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Joesc Raw Master Cool, I didn’t know the story behind that but this one guy had the nerve to tell my friend he was vegan after eating cheese pizza with her. I told her he is vegetarian, not vegan no matter what he says.mango womani absolutely HATE it when people claim to be vegans when they eat any sort of animal product. it really gives vegans a bad image, like we are all secretly lusting for meat and other animal products, and/or that it’s difficult to be a vegan.. if you eat animal products, just don’t call yourself a vegan. it’s that simple.

A search on this white icing sugar-looking powder in the World Wide Web led me to ask some questions about this sweetener. Many seem to think that it's a honey varietal from the flowers of cactus that's been processed into powder form for the convenience of use -- 'just scoop and mix it into your coffee and tea like you would use sugar or creamer'. This honey powder is not sold here in Singapore, but many suppliers of honey products in the World Wide Web seem to be carrying this product. Claimed to be all natural, this honey powder is marketed as all natural, healthy to eat, and an excellent sugar replacement suitable for the diabetic. And it's positioned as a brilliant ingredient for baking or drizzled on cereals, pancakes and waffles. However, I had all these questions in my mind: How can it be a product from the bees when even the lightest-coloured honey cannot be colourless or white? And even if it is really honey, what's the process involved in making honey liquid into powder form? Won't any health benefits be compromised as a result of processing?

Honey bees are attracted to gardens and fields that offer a variety of flowering vegetation. Pollen, a powdery dust-like substance, is produced by various flowering plants. Pollen is one of the purest and richest natural foods, containing all of the nutritional requirements of a honey bee: sugar, carbohydrates, protein, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Nectar is a sweet fluid found in flowers. Honey bees collect nectar and convert it to honey. The majority of honey bee larvae eat honey, but larvae that are chosen to become future queens will be fed with royal jelly. Royal jelly is a white secretion produced by young, female worker bees. It is comprised of pollen and chemicals from the glands of worker bees."

Photo: Bobby Doherty The American honeybee is in peril, you might have heard, if you are the sort of person who likes a ghost story. In the last year, beekeepers lost 42 percent of their colonies, another peak in a string of mass die-offs on the scale of plagues: In the last five years, die-offs have hit 34 percent, 46 percent, 29 percent, and 36 percent. That’s more than one in every three colonies each year — whole impeccably networked societies, as big as small cities. In many areas, the figures were worse, and it was hard not to wonder how a species in crisis could possibly sustain annual regional losses as high as 60 percent without fast approaching extinction. “ What are we doing on bees?” the president has been said to interject at the end of Oval Office meetings. “ Are we doing enough?”It’s been a long decade for bees.

A colony of honey bees will live throughout the entire winter, actively keeping the nest warm and safe. Although a winter colony is much smaller than a summer colony, it will nevertheless contain thousands of individuals. They eat and work all winter long—activity which requires a large cache of stored food. Bumble bees do not maintain colonies throughout the winter. Instead, the last brood of the summer colony will contain a number of queens. Each of these queens will mate and then find a safe nesting place in which to spend the winter. This is usually just a small hole in the ground or another protected spot just big enough for her. Only the queen bumble bees hibernate until spring. The rest of the colony dies."

Hop over here to see exactly what you can do with borage (yes, it’s definitely edible!). Overview Commonly known as: Borage, Starflower, Bee bread Annual: easy to start from seed Light: Full sun to dappled shade Height: 2-3 feet/60-90 cm Soil: Average to rich soil, well-draining; allowed to dry in between waterings Borage is an old herb, known at least since Roman times. It is said that borage gladdens the heart, and surely the purple flowers are cheery. But even the small, young leaves are slightly prickly, and the plant may seem rather coarse to a new gardener. Still, it can add color and interest to any garden, and it has value in the kitchen as well. For the avid herb gardener, it’s a must. Description Borage is also known as star flower. The flowers are, indeed, a star shape with 5 pointed purple or pink petals (flowers are often pink upon opening, and then turn purplish blue). The star shape is enhanced by five green sepals that appear at each spot where two petals meet, around the center of the flower."

The're are commonly two types of wasps, solitary wasps and social wasps. Social wasp species live in large numbers. Wasp nests are abandoned by late autumn, the queens individually over-winter until spring. Wasps eat meaty things, spiders, and sweets. Wasps can be more hot-tempered than bees, and should be treated with caution. If you’re trying to eliminate nuisance wasps attached to your home or near a doorway, it is best done at sunset or very early in the morning.

"text": "\"Why Honey is Not Vegan Thanks to generous support from the community, this page is currently undergoing a complete overhaul! 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. Honeybees are in the phylum Arthropoda--the same as lobsters and crabs."

"text": "10 Things That Would Happen if Bees Died Out3By Robert Grimminck on September 4, 2016 Animals, Nature, Science In the 1990s, beekeepers started recording major losses of worker honeybees during the winter months. 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. Beekeeping was important in early agriculture because bees pollinated crops, which allowed them to bloom, and it produced honey and wax. While most people think of honey as something you eat, it also has a bunch of different uses."

If bees or wasps are a problem, getting into the nectar of your hummingbird feeder or preventing your hummingbirds from feeding, here are a few tips you can use:* Use a hummingbird feeder with bee guards, so the bees can’t get into the nectar. * Try feeders that have no yellow in them. 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. Insects are only likely to visit convenient food sources and are less inclined to search for relocated feeders. Moving the feeder by just a few feet can minimize the insect visitors without discouraging the hummingbirds or orioles. * Move your hummingbird feeder to a very shady location."

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. Unfortunately, when we set up a filter system and bubblers, we make it difficult for our fish to hear above all the backgound noise."

It makes them happy,plus they are very active Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Betta's can live with short finned, non aggressive, non nipping, non related fish. Some great examples include harlequin rasbora, dwarf platy, regular platy in a 20+, white cloud mountain minnows, khuli loaches, pygmy cory cats, regular cory cats in a 20+, snails and even some shrimp. 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."

"text": "Betta Fish Bubble Nests January 22, 2013 131 Comments What are the bubbles at the top of my betta fish tank? 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?"

"text": "Reader Approved How to Keep a Betta Fish Alive for 4 Years Bettas are very sturdy and hardy fish. They make great pets for kids because they are not expensive or hard to take care of. Even though these are tough fish, it is still important to learn some simple steps on how how to taken care of them. Steps1 Choose your betta carefully. 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. Young bettas are brightly colored and have long, flowing tails; as they get older, their colors dull. Choose a younger, brighter, healthy-looking fish in order to keep it alive for longer. When purchasing a betta fish, be sure to examine its tail."

"text": "\"Mystery snail food?by maddiegrant 6 years ago6,756Hi there, I have a mystery snail in a 3 gallon betta bowl with one betta and one live plant. He (the snail) seems happy but I am wondering if I need to give him specific food. I feed the betta 4 pellets every morning so there's no fish food lying around the tank at all. 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? Does he need extra food? or is he ok just with bacteria off the live plant (which I can't see, obviously - no algae of any kind anywhere). Thanks!Sponsored Links Posted on Freshwater Invertebrates Answer6 years ago #2alandgri Junior Member Blogs: 0 Forum: 28 Votes: 0I read a trick to use is to drop some fish flakes in when it's dark since most fish prefer to feed in the light."

"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.

"text": "The Difference Between Bifocal and Progressive Lenses Learn the difference between bifocals and progressive lenses by reading this guide If you’ve been told that you need either bifocal or progressive lenses, and you aren’t sure which one to choose, have no fear. This is a question that we hear quite often, and is important for choosing your next pair of glasses. While both lenses will help to correct your vision, many wearers find that they prefer to use either one or the other. If you’d like to know the difference between bifocal and progressive reading glasses, read our handy guide below. 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. This results in three areas of vision correction that move gradually from one into the next."

What do you mean by \"\"Measuring the corneal shape\"\"? Several methods of measuring the shape of the cornea have developed over the years including the most widely used today -- corneal topography. 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. A corneal topographer is a lighted bowl with a pattern of concentric rings inside it. The patient is seated at the instrument with forehead braced against a bar where an image of the eyes is taken."

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? Anyone who wears glasses with regular lenses because they are as clear as regular lenses indoors and adjusts to any light in any condition and automatically filtering UV when present.

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."

"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."

"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. There are occasions when a patient can have trouble adapting to the changes in the prescription written by the doctor. A prescription for glasses is similar to a prescription for medication. Sometimes side effects can occur after a doctor writes a new prescription. Yes, even lenses can have side effects. Whenever a pair of glasses does not seem to work, we like to perform a failure analysis to determine the cause. This process helps us to prevent from making the same mistake in the future as well as provide you with a clear explanation. As you can see from the list of causes below, glasses design can be complex with many reasons for problems. Below are reasons why new prescriptions don’t work for some people. Getting new glasses during or after vision loss Patients with vision loss from conditions such as a cataract, diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration or other conditions may not have had the real impact displayed to them until they get new glasses."

"text": "\"updated Mon January 11, 2010Why do I need bifocals? Can I avoid them? Asked by Claire, Decatur, Georgia I have worn glasses for nearsightedness since I was 15. 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. J., and an instructor on the cataract and primary eye care service at the Wills Eye Institute."

"text": "Monovision Contact Lenses for Presbyopia Almost everyone who reaches the age of 40+ will notice a degeneration in their close-up vision. 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."

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."

"text": "Big Pupils Causes Of Big Pupils What actually makes those small black circles in the middle of your eyes turn into really big pupils? 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."

Scientists consider bird eyes to be the finest in the animal kingdom. And raptors have the finest vision of all. Small wonder just about everyone knows the expressions \"\"bird's eye view\"\" and \"\"eagle eyes\"\"!This pigeon skull shows how large bird eyes really are!Long ago, scientists observed eagles fishing, hawks and falcons dive-bombing prey from great distances, robins cocking their heads before pulling out a worm, and nighthawks snatching moths out of midair, and figured these birds must have extraordinary vision. When people examined dead birds, they noticed that the eyes fill a huge portion of the head. Bird eyes sometimes even weigh more than the bird's entire brain!The Eyes Have It It's impossible to know for sure what the world looks like to an eagle, but we know from studying the anatomy of their eyes that their view must be enlarged and magnified compared to our view. 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."

Answer by Ga31989 Confidence votes 79Not necessarily. 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."

Please reply and help you can offer is appreciated. Tags: None Guest#213-05-2003, 02:53 PMYes acid will make your pupils bigger, although it doesnt always. 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. But thats a small to medium dose."

"text": "\"Magnification is the most misunderstood aspect of telescopes, but not only by beginners. 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! A high magnification yields a small field of view, meaning a large object may not fit into the view."

Is there a reason for this? Is it just the difference in the breed of cat?6 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Great question! 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."

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.

More than one OD posted in this forum mentioning about doing the dilation test during regular eye exam. What is the main purpose of the test? How often does a regular person require such test? Will the test find out some problems that the patient him/herself does not even feel? Who belongs to the high risk group for this kind of test? I do not think that a CL wearer like me belongs to the high risk group since the purpose of the test is to see something inside the eyeball while a CL will just affect the surface condition of the eyeball. However, I remember reading an article a ong time ago that people with severe near-sight are more likely to have retina detachment. Again, how severe is severe, please give some numbers or ranges?

"text": "\"One of the most important aspects in creating and maintaining a successful relationship with an avian companion is the ability to understand your bird's vocalizations and body language. 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. In a bird that is exhibiting additional aggressive behaviors such as tail fanning, this behavior means \"\"Back Off!\"\". If you persist in attempting contact, you may get a nasty bite for your trouble."

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. What is a Refraction? A refraction determines whether and how much the eyes are hyperopic (farsighted) or myopic (nearsighted) with or without astigmatism."

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. This is where bile comes in."

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.

"text": "Remedies and Information for Food Poisoning & Other Digestive Issues Involving Vomiting & Diarrheaby Nikki Moses © August 2014Food Poisoning Food poisoning can be either viral or bacterial or parasitic. Most types of food poisoning take at least 6 hours for symptoms to appear, although there is one type of bacterium that can produce symptoms in as little as an hour. So if symptoms occur within a couple of hours of eating, it is less likely to be food poisoning and may just be a healing reaction or indigestion (see Upset Stomach After A Large or Unusual Meal below ); this is especially true if symptoms are mild. For most types of food poisoning where stomach upset, vomiting and/or diarrhea are present, I have found the following helpful. Quick Food Poisoning Remedy List: Probiotics – dosed high, added to water and sipped regularly Colloidal Silver – straight shot 1 Tbs. right away Salt – pinches in mouth with small sips of water as needed for nausea and vomiting Charcoal – up to 4 at a time up to 3 times per day for diarrhea Detailed Food Poisoning Instructions: At the first sign of food poisoning (vomiting, stomach distress, nausea, diarrhea): Probiotics can kill or inhibit pathogens in the intestines through various complex mechanisms so are extremely helpful with cases of food poisoning. Take 65 billion organisms or more of probiotics and mix into 8 ounces of water and start sipping on it. It doesn’t matter what kind of probiotic you have, just start getting it down. If you are throwing it up, that is okay; continue to drink down what you can. For this first dose of probiotics, you can take this entire dose within a few hours."

Often we automatically associate it with negative health outcomes and society has seemed to have developed a real fat phobia over the past few decades. You can find a fat-free version of just about every product in the grocery store these days. For people who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), fat instead is often associated with digestive discomfort. Here are a few of the reasons why fat can be difficult to digest and irritating for those with IBS…How is Fat Digestion Effected in IBS? Some people that suffer from IBS have a particularly hard time digesting fat. Although the exact cause is not known, there are a couple of different reasons why fat digestion is something that many IBS patients struggle with. The three macronutrients in our diet are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Our body has unique processes to digest each of these 3 very different nutrients and they each take a different amount of time to pass through our digestive system. Carbohydrates are digested first (at the quickest rate), then protein and finally fat."

When insufficient bile salts are present in the body, disease can occur as a result of the toxic build-up. Recent research indicates that taking bile salts orally as a supplement can help prevent the build-up of toxins in patients with abnormal bile production or who have had gallbladders removed. Salts To understand what scientists mean when they refer to bile salts, it is necessary to know a little chemistry. An explanation of acids, bases and p H is helpful. Important to this explanation is the definition of an ion. An atom with an electrical charge is known as an ion. Acids are positively charged with an extra proton to give, and they attempt to combine with negatively charged ions called bases. A base, or alkaline substance, is negatively charged and thus will accept an acid's extra proton."

Let's review a bit about the digestion and absorption of fats and cholesterol. After swallowing the triglycerides and phospholipids and cholesterols, the triglycerides and phospholipids are chemically digested by both lingual lipase from the mouth and pancreatic lipase. 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. In either case, all these fragments are absorped into the absorptive cells of the small intestine by simple diffusion. At this point we need to define two new terms. The different types of fats, the different types of triglycerides, have different names because chemically they are different."

A gallbladder attack can be a very painful, potentially dangerous medical condition. This article will help you understand the signs and symptoms of gallbladder attack and how it can be treated. 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. In some cases, a gallstone may cause the gallbladder to become inflamed, causing pain, infection, or other serious complications. Gallbladder Issues–What exactly are they?"

"text": "\"WHAT IS THE GALLBLADDER The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped muscular sack that acts as a storage tank for bile. 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. The gallbladder is located behind the liver on the right side of the rib cage. It hits up against the under-surface of the liver. Pain in this region is common with gallbladder problems."

Critchfield on December 25, 2014Most folks have diarrhea after gallbladder removal, because the excess bile produced that would usually store there is just constantly dumped into the intestines. 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. I switched from a high-carb diet to an Atkins protein diet... and that's when I got gallstone attacks. My gallbladder had stagnated for so long it was just full of stones. My liver had also stagnated, and stopped producing much bile."

The gall bladder receives the bile from liver through the common bile duct which is formed by the union of two hepatic ducts.

The gallbladder is a tiny, hollow, pear-shaped organ located right below the liver, directly on the right side of the abdomen. It might be small, but it has a lot of big responsibilities in the body. For instance, the gallbladder stores and concentrates bile that the liver produces. Bile consists of cholesterol, phospholipids, bilirubin, water, electrolytes, and bile acids. The bile has several responsibilities in the body, including: Digestion and fat absorption Water retention in the colon for promoting bowel movements Bilirubin excretion Elimination of drugs and other harmful compounds Protein secretion in the gastrointestinal function What Causes Gallstones? Bile is very important for the gallbladder and liver. Everyday, both organs are bombarded with harmful chemicals from processed foods and other products. I’ve met many people over the years who consider chowing down on a double cheeseburger with a large soda every day “normal”. Lifetime consumption of the Western diet wreaks havoc on the digestive system, and it will eventually lead to the development of gallstones.

"text": "Home Questions Asked Medicines and Remedies What causes the gall bladder to be in a contracted state, what are its ill effects and its relation to gas problems and flatulence? ( Last Updated: Sep 13, 2007) Tweet A gallbladder contraction occurs when the gallbladder releases bile juice into the intestine. This gall bladder contraction is usually normal and occurs when fatty foods are eaten. However, it is important to remember that a gallbladder contraction can also occur when there are gallstones present in the gallbladder. 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. Gallstones are usually formed from cholesterol but pigment stones are common as well. Gallstones are just one of the diseases that could develop in the gallbladder and they cause severe pain and discomfort if lodged in the duct. Gallbladder sludge is believed to be made up of microscopic gallstones. This sludge is made up of calcium salts, and cholesterol crystals."

In this context, while traditional engineering applies physical and mathematical sciences to analyze, design and manufacture inanimate tools, structures and processes, biological engineering uses primarily the rapidly developing body of knowledge known as molecular biology to study and advance applications of organisms and to create biotechnology. This may eventually include the possibility of biologically engineering machines and 3D printing that re-order matter at a molecular scale. Physicist Richard Feynman theorized about the idea of a medical use for these biological machines, introduced into the body, to repair or detect damages and infections. Feynman and Albert Hibbs suggested that it might one day be possible to (as Feynman put it) \"\" swallow the doctor \"\". The idea was discussed in Feynman's 1959 essay There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom.

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."

"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. Genes and other genetic information from a wide range of organisms are transformed into bacteria for storage and modification, creating genetically modified bacteria in the process."

"text": "\"What is Synthetic Biology? 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. All living organisms contain an instruction set that determines what they look like and what they do. 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. More recent advances however, have enabled scientists to make new sequences of DNA from scratch."

For now we can start out by dividing the whole world of science into three major sections. These are the Natural Sciences, the Social Sciences, and Applied Sciences. The Natural Sciences and Social sciences are called Empirical because they are based on observation of phenomenon. People studying these sciences make observations, attempt to understand, make hypotheses and conduct experiments where they can make more observations. The Applied sciences are a bit different in that they focus on using known theories and phenomenon and \"\"applying\"\" them to real world applications. Electrical Engineering is a good example of an applied science. You take the phenomenon of running electricity through a piece of tungsten causing it to glow. The engineer would apply this knowledge and come up with useful ways to create light!If you are thinking about doing a science project but don't know what to do this is a great first step.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and the evolution of life began around the turn of the 20th century. 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. Contents [ hide ]1 Origin2 Early views3 Negative entropy4 Gibbs free energy and biological evolution5 Entropy and the origin of life6 Entropy and the search for life elsewhere in the Universe7 Other terms8 Objections9 See also10 References11 Further reading12 External links Origin [ edit]In 1863, Rudolf Clausius published his noted memoir \"\"On the Concentration of Rays of Heat and Light, and on the Limits of its Action\"\" wherein he outlined a preliminary relationship, as based on his own work and that of William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), between his newly developed concept of entropy and life. [ 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.\"\""

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. ["

It's a picture of a crippled and contorted corncob that was not created by nature, or even by agriculture, but by genetic engineering.q The cob is kept in a plastic bin called \"\"the monster box,\"\" a collection of biological curiosities put together by someone who works in a secure biotechnology research facility. What the photo shows is a cob that apparently started growing normally, then turned into another part of the corn plant, then returned to forming kernels, then went back to another form-twisting back and forth as if it could not make up its mind about what it was. It was produced by the same recombinant DNA technology that is used to create the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that are in our everyday foods. When I saw this photo, I knew it was saying something very important about genetic engineering. I thought it should be published. But the person who owns it is frankly afraid of how the biotechnology industry might react, and would not agree.

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."

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."

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."

Birds can also be used to symbolize love and commitment (such as Mandarin ducks), or good luck and abundance (as in the case of the peacock). In feng shui applications, birds are powerful symbols of new opportunities that are always there for you even in times of adversity. Feng shui-wise, attention is usually paid to numbers, colors, as well as the symbolism of specific birds. Placement in the right direction is also necessary to bring prosperity and good luck. According to feng shui, you should place such artworks in the North and East directions as it brings luck and many helpful friends in your life. It is also important to make sure that the direction of the flight has to be facing in the house so that you will meet many considerate and good friends in your life. Birds that are moving out of your house may indicate the children or inmates may move out of the house. Such paintings are also useful for people who like to socialize but are shy and do not have the confidence. It is best to avoid birds like hawks, vultures and other harsh bird’s pictures as these birds give rise to negative emotions."

"text": "Susan Glaspell’s short story, A Jury of Her Peers, was written long before the modern women’s movement began, yet her story reveals, through Glaspell’s use of symbolism, the role that women are expected to play in society. Glaspell illustrates how this highly stereotypical role can create oppression for women and also bring harm to men as well. Character names are very important in A Jury of her Peers. 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. Mrs. Peters, who is married to the sheriff, is viewed in those terms. Mr. Peter, the county attorney, says “for that matter a sheriff’s wife is married to the law” (glaspell 168)."

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. Keywords birds – Jungian – Jung – archetypes – death – rebirth – psychopomp – comparative religion – folklore – cross-cultural – symbolism – afterlife – spirits Introduction While attending a dinner party, a woman approached me and, knowing that a focus of my scholarship was the afterlife, asked me plainly whether there was a life after death. Attempting to avoid the kind of lengthy discourse into which academics are wont to launch when asked about their research, I offered a sim- ple, “No.” This response was admittedly, in retrospect, insensitive.

"text": "\"Faravahar Relief at Persepolis The Faravahar is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of ancient Iran. 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."

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."

"text": "Symbolism of Birthmark Types Posted by Staff Writer in Birthmarks There are two major types of birthmarks: vascular and pigmented. Vascular birthmarks, the result of a deformity of an artery, capillary or other blood vessel, are incurred astonishingly by 1 in ten children at birth. However, within the first year of life, these vascular aberrations then typically right themselves and disappear, with only a small fraction growing into a larger tumor. Superstitious Beliefs There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that certain shapes of vascular or pigmented birthmarks correspond to some sort of personality, predictable behavior or other element of human nature. However, as with all things superstitious, that has not stopped some from believing in such things. One of the more famous historical incidences of the intersection of birthmarks and crazy beliefs were the 17 th century witch trials in Salem. Some accounts have been interpreted as signaling that authorities sought out and burned at the stake any woman who had the abnormality of a third nipple. Not a classical birthmark as such, but certainly in those days every inch of a woman’s body was examined and anything out of the fair-skinned complexion norm was a due cause for irrational conviction. Hawthorne’s Tale As a literary device however, birthmarks rank right up there with villainous scars, bad guy glass eyes and various other visual cue indicators of a character’s delineated nature. One of the most famous classical pieces of literature to mine this territory is Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story The Birthmark."

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? The sucking reflex is a normal reflex that you may see even if your baby has just been fed. This is a survival reflex and will start to diminish between six and twelve months of age.

Pigmented lesions are caused by a proliferation of melanocytes in the skin. Melanocytes contain the cells that manufacture melanin, which is the dark pigment in skin. How do IPL treatments work?

C., CHt Source Many believe birthmarks from past life trauma appear at the site of injuries from a previous incarnations. For example, some show up at the site of fatal wounds. Likewise, some people believe loss of fingers, toes, or other body parts in a previous life may cause a child to be born with birth defects (missing parts or other health problems from the way the fetus developed) in this life. Past life trauma may also appear in the new life as unexplained scars. Many believe these birthmarks provide evidence of a previous incarnation. How They Are Formed Some researchers like Walter Simkew, MD and Jim Tucker, MD believe past life birthmarks appear because the soul's mind, which is not part of the brain, has a blueprint that exists after death. This blueprint is used to create the fetus in the next incarnation, which may lead to birthmarks that correspond to past life trauma. Source Researchers and Evidence The evidence for reincarnation birthmarks is mounting. New information comes from many researchers, as well as areas of scientific research like epigenetics, quantum physics, and consciousness which postulate the theory everyone exists as energy that continues after death.

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."

Aylmer dreams of cutting off Georgiana ’s birthmark and finding that the roots plunge down into her heart, which he decides to cut out; Georgiana faints the first time she sees the laboratory; the beautiful, fast-blooming flower Aylmer creates withers and turns black as soon as Georgiana touches it; a reflection of Georgiana in a metal plate reveals the shape of a hand, so Aylmer throws the plate into acid, destroying it. 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."

In Washington, black bears live in a diverse array of forested habitats, from coastal rainforests to the dry woodlands of the Cascades’ eastern slopes. In general, black bears are strongly associated with forest cover, but they do occasionally use relatively open country, such as clearcuts and the fringes of other open habitat. The statewide black bear population in Washington likely ranges between 25,000 and 30,000 animals. As human populations encroach on bear habitat, people and bears have greater chances of encountering each other."

"text": "What Do Black Bears Eat | What Do Black Bears Like To Eat In this article I’ve gathered all the essential facts about what do black bears eat. Most of these are not commonly known elsewhere. Black bears are one of the widespread bear species across North America. 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. In general, black bears are solitary animals and they roam around in large territories, although they are not territorial and are not concerned about protecting them from other bears."

"text": "\"\"\"Sizing\"\" up the Black Bear Bears are \"\"sexually dimorphic,\"\" which means that adult males are larger than adult females. 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. Florida's Largest Bears There have been two male bears that are considered the largest in the state. One was a 740 lb bear and the other was 760 lb bear, both were found in 2015 in Seminole County lingering in neighborhoods after gaining access to unsecured human-provided attractants. The largest female bear found in Florida was 400 pounds, found on the side of a road (killed by a vehicle strike) in January 2007 in Liberty County."

With its unmistakable physical appearance and prominent black patches surrounding its eyes, the giant panda can easily be familiarized. It belongs to the family of Ursidae and the order of Carnivora. Despite its order specification, giant panda eats 99% of bamboo. In the wild, these species are more likely to consume wild tubers, carrion, birds, some birds, and grasses. They can be looked after in captivity where they should be fed with honey, bananas, oranges, shrub leaves, bamboo, fish, eggs, yams, and of course bamboo. The Giant Panda is the inhabitant of Sichuan province and Gansu province in China.

They can vary in color from black to blonde. Brown bears, also known as grizzly bears, can be found in many of our national parks. The name grizzly usually refers to bears living inland, away from the coast. While bears of the same species might look similar, everything from their size, coloring, diet, and sleeping patterns depend on the bear’s location. For example, a bear’s diet varies depending on what foods are available during a specific season in a specific region.

An adult grizzly bear can measure 3-4 feet (+/-1 meter) high at the shoulder and 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall standing upright. The foods they eat determine how big each individual will be. In an ecosystem similar to the North Cascades, where bugs and berries are predominant foods, adults weigh between 250 and 600 pounds (113-272 kilograms). The color of the grizzly coat varies from nearly white to variations of brown to reddish to dark brown, even black. The name \"\"grizzly\"\" comes from the grizzled appearance of darker fur with lighter tips. Not all grizzly bears' fur is grizzled, and color is not an indication of species. They have a large hump of heavy muscle on their shoulders, rounded ears, and fore-claws that measure more than two inches in length. The claws act as shovels for digging roots, bulbs, and dens.

Across the festive table from me, our host was deep into recounting his bowhunt stalk of a big black bear. On my right sat the hostess, who had roasted the haunch of that very bruin using a recipe she’d fine-tuned over the years. More than once, she glanced askance at my plate and the untouched slices of her lovingly prepared roast. Realizing there was no way out, I speared a small piece and mustered what courage I could.

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."

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. Mating and Breeding In Pennsylvania, bears mate primarily from early June to mid July."

"text": "Black Bear Diet2010-06-28 12:48:27.0Mary Holland The nature of what black bears eat throughout the spring, summer and fall is varied, and reflects their opportunistic diet. 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."

Milk production and intake increases four-fold after they emerge from the den. A cross North America this spring, thousands of baby animals are enjoying their first meals. 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. “"

Raspberry The raspberry is actually a composite fruit, not a true berry. This fruit blends sweet and tart flavors, making it useful for baking, making fruit salads and topping oatmeal or cereal. The raspberry has several health benefits because it contains antioxidants, which are substances that help prevent cancer. Raspberries are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C and manganese. The raspberry looks similar to the blackberry, but is softer and smaller in size. These composite fruits grow in fields and forests, especially in areas where fires have created free space for growth.

Michael Boys/Corbis/VCG/Getty Images Blackberries grow so voraciously in the Pacific Northwest that it's not rare to stumble across rural barns or abandoned homes that have been completely consumed by the thorny vine. Let them grow too close to a window, and they'll break the glass. They're common — easy to forage and hard to get too excited about. At least compared to the marionberry, a type of blackberry that has become an Oregon obsession. One of the reasons the marionberry is so beloved is because it is entirely a product of Oregon. It's \"\"born and raised\"\" in state, so to speak. The marionberry, a cross between Chehalem and Olallie blackberries, was bred at Oregon State University as part of a berry-developing partnership with the U. S. Department of Agriculture that dates back to the early 1900s. It's named for Marion County in the Willamette Valley, where most of the field trials took place (not for former D. C.

"text": "Method1 Freezing Unsweetened Blackberries1 Wash the berries gently. 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. However, if you want separate, individual blackberries later, you'll have to break up the frozen block of berries that you'll get from this method."

Blackberries are red when they're unripe. Plus, there are two types of raspberries: red and black. Black raspberries can easily be confused for blackberries. So how do you tell them all apart? This will show you how!Steps1 Look for a rasp! Both raspberries and blackberries produce aggregate fruits composed of many small, single-seeded droplets held together with microscopic hairs. The droplets form around the outside of a core, or rasp. When raspberries are picked, the cluster of drupelets that we call a raspberry slips off the rasp, leaving it behind.

"text": "\"Good glasses make wine taste better And you don’t have to be a snob to believe it Steven Kolpan04.20.2010 • 6:01 PMOne of the happiest results of America's enthusiastic embrace of wine is that wine snobbery, thankfully, has all but disappeared in the United States. But there's a good wine’s worth of difference between snobbery and respect, and while I would never tell anyone what wine to enjoy -- and certainly never why he or she should not enjoy a particular wine -- I am not above gently recommending how to enhance enjoyment of wine. And one way is to drink from the right glass. No, this is not going to be about those unbelievably expensive, hand-blown crystal wine glasses. ( This isn't about snobbery; everybody, including me, hates a wine snob.) It’s just that good, affordable wine glasses make a huge difference in the enjoyment of wine. ( You'll thank me later. ) Even among skeptics, you'll find little disagreement that there's a reason that white, red, and Champagne / sparkling wine glasses are different. The tall, thin flutes of the latter minimize the surface area of the wine exposed to the air, so those magical bubbles don't all float their way out of the wine too quickly. Red wine glasses tend to have big, flat bowls for the opposite reason; giving the wine more exposure to the air and letting it \"\"breathe,\"\" allowing its rich, pent-up aromas to mix with air and develop in the glass."

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I live in the country and most of the birds around here, like house sparrows, mourning doves, common pigeons, and blackbirds, eat corn and soybeans out of the surrounding fields. We also have some trees with berries on them around my house, not sure what the berries are, but I've seen the birds eat them. Then there's the hawks and eagles that eat smaller birds, rodents, and I've seen them take fish out of the river. The owls will eat rodents, too. The turkey vultures eat the corpses of dead animals. The pheasants eat corn and soybeans mostly around here. Same with the turkeys and the bobwhite quails."

"text": "Overview of the Rat Life Cycle The different rat species found in our service area have similar life cycles to one another. 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. Begin the exclusion process by locking away or cleaning up potential food sources, including trash, pet and livestock feed, and leftover scraps from uneaten food."

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.

"text": "\"Feeding Wild Birds in Winter Gardens and What they Eat Feeding wild birds in your garden, particularly during the harsh winter months, will go a long way to help the local bird population. 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. Feeding Wild Birds - What do Birds Eat?"

"text": "Thanks to their diverse diets, raccoons are able to thrive in a number of different natural environments, and their regular meals depend largely on where they live. 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. Gardeners also occasionally deal with raccoon problems, as the animals gladly eat corn, fruits, and other vegetables commonly grown in gardens.

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.

"text": "Have you picked the best birdseed for your backyard birds?. 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."

In fact blackbirds are so illusive that many gardeners are unaware that they are the culprits eating their tomatoes, often blaming it on rats or possums (if living in Australia) instead. Rats While Blackbirds pose the main threat to my tomato crop when it comes to the usual suspects rats are number two in line . But they tend to be only an occasional problem as their numbers vary greatly from year to year. Though ever present in most seasons I find them to not to be a problem."

Lyons, Kimberly J. Perry, and Jonathan Q. Henry Author information ► Article notes ► Copyright and License information ►This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. 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."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 47 - Animal Development Printer Friendly Chapter 47 Animal Development Lecture Outline Overview: A Body-Building Plan for Animals From egg to organism, an animal’s form develops gradually. 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."

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. Gastrulation You can imagine what happens during gastrulation by thinking about a balloon."

Protostomes are primitive invertebrates while deuterostomes include echinoderms and chordates. This division helps in understanding relationships of different groups of animals. PROTOSTOMESProtostomes include flat worms, annelids, arthropods, molluscs and some minor phyla. 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. This is also called mosaic cleavage."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology How does a fertilized egg become a human? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A sharp rise in cytoplasmic calcium incites metabolic changes that activates the egg. 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. The animal pole has the lowest concentration and is the area where polar bodies bud off of the cell."

Fertilisation occurs when the sperm cell successfully enters and fuses with an egg cell ( ovum ). The genetic material of the sperm and egg then combine to form a single cell called a zygote and the germinal stage of prenatal development commences.

"text": "\"EARLY EMBRYOLOGYWhy do we need knowledge of embryology to study anatomy? � The fact is that all of those structures in all organisms are derived from a single cell that was formed by the union of two gametes. � Every organism you see came originally from a single cell, which divided and differentiated to form more complex structures. 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. This blastopore-to-anus developmental pathway is found in Chordata, Hemichordata, Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc. ),"

During gastrulation, many of the cells at or near the surface of the embryo move to a new, more interior location. The primary germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm) are formed and organized in their proper locations during gastrulation. Endoderm, the most internal germ layer, forms the lining of the gut and other internal organs. Ectoderm , the most exterior germ layer, forms skin, brain, the nervous system, and other external tissues. Mesoderm, the the middle germ layer, forms muscle, the skeletal system, and the circulatory system.

At some point during their lives, animals are capable of movement. In the most commonly encountered animals, this stage is the adult, although some animals (corals) have sessile (nonmobile) adult phases and mobile juvenile forms. Animal and plant evolutionary history both show the development of multicellularity and the move from water to land (as well as secondary adaptation back to water). Animals developed external or internal skeletons to provide support, skin to prevent or lessen water loss, muscles that allowed them to move in search of food, brains and nervous systems for integration of stimuli, and internal digestive systems. Most animals have a life cycle with a preadult stage, a predominance of the diploid stage, and a series of embryonic developmental stages. Evolution and Classification of Animals | Back to Top Animals probably evolved from marine protists , although no group of protists has been identified from an at-best sketchy fossil record for early animals. Cells in primitive animals (sponges in particular) show similarities to collared choanoflagellates as well as pseudopod-producing amoeboid cells. Multicellular animal fossils and burrows (presumably made by multicellular animals) first appear nearly 700 million years ago, during the late precambrian time (the part of the Proterozoic era termed the Vendian)."

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).

"text": "\"justadream5+ Year Member2,173807Apr 29, 2011Isn't the purpose of fever to raise the body temperature and aid the immune system in fighting off infection? Dilating blood vessels would cool the body. Isn't that inefficient? The body is expending energy to raise temperature but is dilating blood vessels to cool body temperature.justadream, Aug 24, 2014 #1SDN Members don't see this ad. About the ads. Cawolf5+ Year Member3,3562,067Feb 26, 2013Fever and vasodilation are both results of immune system activity in the body - I have not heard of fever resulting in dilation. Vasodilation occurs in local infection to allow for increased blood flow to the site of infection - allowing for increased perfusion and increased leukocyte counts. The dilation is due to inflammatory mediators such as bradykinins and complement proteins though - not the generalized fever.

"text": "\"Raynaud's phenomenon facts Raynaud's phenomenon is a type of vascular disease characterized by a pale to blue to red sequence of color changes of the digits, most commonly after exposure to cold. Raynaud's phenomenon occurs because of spasm of blood vessels. The cause of Raynaud's phenomenon is unknown, although abnormal nerve control of blood-vessel diameter and nerve sensitivity to cold are suspected of being involved. Symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon depend on the severity, frequency, and duration of the blood-vessel spasm. There is no blood test for diagnosing Raynaud's phenomenon. Treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon involves protection of the digits, medications, and avoiding emotional stresses, smoking, cold temperature, and tools that vibrate the hands. Quick Guide Lupus Symptoms, Rash, and Treatment Raynaud's Phenomenon and Scleroderma My mother has a condition in which her fingers turn completely white--especially during the winter--and when the blood returns to her fingers, they tingle.

The basic mechanisms of heat transfer in our body is the same as for any other body including - conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. Image source : Google. B: Understanding of the various mechanisms by which body detects the change in temperature - concept of Visceral and skin surface thermoreceptors. In the image above, we can see two structures labelled heat receptor and cold receptors which are our body’s peripheral skin sensors which detect abnormal skin temperature. Also, Our body has other thermoreceptors which are present in Hypothalamus which detect our Core body temperature. C : Knowing the control center which regulates the temperature of the body Image source : google. In a human body, Temperature control is done by the bright green part of the brain known as “hypothalamus” which is also as the “Centre for thermoregulation”. It also performs various other functions like hunger regulation, sleep regulation, etc."

"text": "What is peripheral vascular disease? 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. In arteriosclerosis, plaques build up in a vessel and limit the flow of blood and oxygen to your organs and limbs. As plaque growth progresses, clots may develop and completely block the artery. This can lead to organ damage and loss of fingers, toes, or limbs, if left untreated."

"text": "Patient Care & Services Stroke History of stroke: Hippocrates, the father of medicine, first recognized stroke over 2,400 years ago. 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."

Depending on the severity of the damage, new cells will either replace the old or that part of the body is lost to frost bite.

That we can live in cold climates is a result of behavioural adaptations such as wearing appropriate clothing and building shelters. Successfully surviving cold requires two simultaneous events. Firstly, generating sufficient body heat by burning food and secondly, preventing the loss of that heat by suitable clothing and shelter. The lowest temperature that can be endured is a combination of the duration and the extent of the exposure, so it is not easily determined. A naked person will start to feel cold if the surrounding temperature drops below around 25°C (77°F)."

Despite their great diversity, all animals must solve a common set of problems. All animals must obtain oxygen, nourish themselves, excrete wastes, and move. Animals of diverse evolutionary histories and varying complexity must solve these general challenges of life. Consider the long, tongue-like proboscis of a hawk moth, a structural adaptation for feeding. Recoiled when not in use, the proboscis extends as a straw through which the moth can suck nectar from deep within tube-shaped flowers. Analyzing the hawk moth’s proboscis gives clues about what it does and how it functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism. Physiology is the study of the functions an organism performs.

The Blue Marlins have a diet of: Octopi, squid and pelagic fish such as black fin tuna and frigate mackerel. They do prefer to hunt alone and during the day, rather than in schools, so it is safe to say they are a rather antisocial species. They are hunted due to their size and strength, but are not endangered yet.

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.

"text": "Different Types of Fish: What to Eat and What to Avoid Fish is a versatile meat, that goes well with any kind of spice, and thrives in regions worldwide, where each one has their own way of preparing the dish. 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. White fish is a great source of omega 3 but not as much as oily fish. It's a great low-fat food that one can eat to even aid in weight loss."

This way you can have the confidence to know what you are looking at once you are submerged beneath the surface. Sharks attacks while Scuba Diving in the Caribbean Sea: The Facts Shark attacks in the Caribbean are rare. The chances of being attacked in North America and South Africa are much higher. Florida shark attacks average from 20-30 per year, and the Bahamas has had the most attacks out of all the islands in the Caribbean. Still, though, the number is extremely small, with 35 attacks since 1896. The rest of the Caribbean islands average less than one attack per year, so it is clear that divers should feel very safe in these waters.

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. A bluewater fish that spends the majority of its life in the open sea far from land, [2] the blue marlin preys on a wide variety of marine organisms, mostly near the surface, often using its bill to stun or injure its prey."

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."

"text": "Whales are divided into two suborders — toothed and baleen whales — and each eats very different kinds of food. 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."

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. They may come together with more blues in areas with high concentrations of food, but they don’t form any larger groups with the others."

"text": "\"Understanding Whale Teeth Whales are mammals that live underwater. Like all mammals, they breathe air and they are born live from their mothers instead of coming from eggs. However, whales are also unusual mammals, and not only because they live underwater. They are also unusual because of the types of teeth they have (or lack). Most mammals have teeth to help them bite and chew their food, making it possible to feed themselves. Scientists group all whales into two categories: toothed whales and baleen whales. As the names suggest, one type of whale has teeth. The other type has something very different, called baleen, instead of teeth. Toothed Whales: How They Eat Toothed whales (or \"\"odontocetes\"\") are so named because of the teeth in their mouths. However, a whale's teeth look very different from human or even dog teeth, for that matter."

"text": "What Do Blue Whales Eat? 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."

Cause of Death Let me start by stating that I cannot be 100% certain that the cause of death was a ship. It is impossible to know exactly what happened without witnessing the actual event. I put together what I saw with the information I gleaned from other people, and I pieced together a narrative that seemed to make most sense. The exact text I sent to my media rep was:“ I photographed this whale in the afternoon of 3 April 2012, between five and ten kilometres south of Weligama Bay, which is at the southern tip of Sri Lanka. Many people on whale watching boats saw it. The whale was not significantly decomposed when I saw it, so it had probably not been dead for very long. My guess is that it may have been struck by a ship during the night, while the animal was resting at the ocean surface. When whales die, internal decomposition causes gas to build up inside the whale’s body, causing the carcass to bloat."

There are around 80 different kinds or species of whales and dolphins. Whales can be divided into two groups: those with teeth, called toothed whales, and those without called baleen whales. How did whales evolve (develop)? About 50 million years ago, the ancestors of whales were small, furry creatures that lived on land. Slowly over millions of years, these creatures changed, or evolved, into animals that spent more and more time in water. Their front legs became flippers and a thick layer of fat called blubber replaced their fur coats to keep out the cold. Eventually, they lost their back legs, as their tail became bigger and stronger for powerful swimming."

"text": "\"Most bluebird enthusiasts would probably admit that the main reason they feed bluebirds is for the sheer enjoyment of watching them. In the southern states, bluebirds often fail to find sufficient food during late winter and early spring when wild and ornamental berries are gone and there is a scarcity of insects. The critical period for birds is from February into April, although earlier snows or sleet can be devastating. 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."

First, more farms meant there was more open habitat which bluebirds love. Second, the early settlers typically planted apple orchards."

This is similar to the behaviour of many species of woodpecker. Bluebirds can typically produce between two and four broods during the spring and summer (March through August in the Northeastern United States ). Males identify potential nest sites and try to attract prospective female mates to those nesting sites with special behaviors that include singing and flapping wings, and then placing some material in a nesting box or cavity. If the female accepts the male and the nesting site, she alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs."

"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. What do you expect of those decadent, debauched Europeans?"

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."

Many birds eat insects naturally, so feeding mealworms to the birds seems like a natural thing to do. And while doing so, you'll be able to observe fun and interesting bird behaviors!Q. What are mealworms? A. Mealworms are the larvae of the beetle Tenebrio molitor. This larvae stage typically lasts for 10 weeks. Black-capped Chickadee with mealworm Q. What birds eat mealworms? A. Some people think that if you don't have bluebirds, there's no reason to feed mealworms. But even if you don't have the right habitat for bluebirds, many other birds will enjoy them, including some of our most beloved feeder birds. We've had chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice eat mealworms from the feeders at our house. Other birds that eat mealworms regularly include wrens, orioles, robins, woodpeckers, and some warblers, like the Pine Warbler pictured right."

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. If this happens, adults will stop feeding their young and focus on their own survival."

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. Chickadees, nuthatches, creepers, woodpeckers and other birds will forage in tree bark for insects that provide valuable protein."

Some days you get bunches and bunches, other times you might feel totally rejected by them. I recently had a conversation with a colleague who works for the Department of Natural Resources. 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 . Most of it comes from Singapore, Ethiopia and Burma."

They eat us out of house and home and then, to make matters worse, they bully the smaller songbirds to keep them away from our feeders. This time of year we get lots of questions about starlings at Duncraft. Here are a few products to help you discourage those pesky starlings. Starlings and grackles love suet, but they don’t like to eat upside down. A feeder like our durable Eco-Strong Upside Down Suet feeder (shown above) or our nifty Touch-Free Suet Feeder will keep the starlings out of the suet. And the woodpeckers and other small clinging birds will enjoy eating in a position that is very natural and comfortable for them. We have several seed feeders that discourage the starlings, too. Our Cling-A-Wing (pictured above) attracts goldfinches, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and their friends but the starlings (and pigeons) aren’t able to eat from them comfortably. The starlings will become downright despondent when you fill the Squirrel Buster Plus with black oil sunflower seeds."

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."

"text": "Brown-headed Cowbirds Male Brown-headed Cowbird Photo © Burline Pullin The Basics The Brown-headed Cowbird ( Molothrus ater) is a brood parasite, meaning that it lays its eggs in nests of other species. 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. It is unknown whether they developed their breeding strategy because they had to move frequently to keep up with the bison herds, or whether they were able to follow the herds because their breeding strategy gave them the freedom to do so."

One by one, other US cities began importing them for the same purpose. In less than 50 years this small bird has a range that includes the entire U. S. and well into Canada. Unfortunately, they didn't go after the caterpillars hoped for. While intentions were good, the outcome has been just the opposite. Our native cavity nesters have not evolved fast enough to compete with these highly competitive birds. Their nesting, feeding, and mating habits can be observed easily due to their long multiple breeding season. Description House Sparrows are 5 to 6 inches in length."

A: Quick Answer Bones, muscle, and skin work together in the human body by providing the body with structure and organs with protection, by moving the body and allowing organs to function, and by containing and protecting all bodily materials, respectively. Bones and muscles (referred to as the musculoskeletal system) work in tandem to perform most physical functions, while skin (the largest organ in the body) protects this and other systems.

The 206 bones in the skeleton also cover and protect some of the most important organs, such as the heart (covered by the ribcage) and the brain (covered by the skull). Though bones determine the shape of our limbs, muscles are needed to create movement. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons, and use this physical proximity to move the skeletal system."

A: Quick Answer The skeletal system performs numerous vital functions, including body support, movement, protection, calcium storage, blood cell production and endocrine regulation. These functions are essential to every other function of the human body, contradicting the common myth that the skeleton is only structural. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Functions of the Skeletal System? What Are the Five Major Jobs of the Skeletal System? What Are the Four Functions of the Skeleton? Full Answer The most important function of the skeleton is the production of blood cells. Some of the bones in the human body are filled with bone marrow, a substance that produces red and white blood cells. The blood cells produced by the bone marrow are crucial because red blood cells provide oxygen to the body, and white blood cells are essential for fighting infection and maintaining the immune system. The skeleton holds all vital organs in place when the body is in movement, while the vertebral column holds the body itself in an upright position."

Without these important body parts, we wouldn't be able to stand, walk, run, or even sit. 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. When the skeleton first forms, it is made of flexible cartilage, but within a few weeks it begins the process of ossification."

He tried to explain his teeny weenie by claiming “shrinkage. ”Well, it turns out that’s just part of the story. As we get older there’s plenty of shrinkage, including our height, heart, brain, bladder, facial bones and, yes, sex organs. Height Shrinkage Most of us lose at least 1/3 of an inch in height every decade after the age of 40. By 80, most men will be 2 inches shorter than they were in their prime, and women will be as much as 3.15 inches shorter. What causes this?

"text": "Organs of Skeletal System and Their Functions The skeletal system in human is a major connective tissue system that is made up of organs, such as bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilages. 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. Similarly the pelvic angles and inlets are also different, such as angle in males is 90 degrees while that in females is 100 degrees. What Are Human Skeletal System Organs?1.

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. Anatomy of the Foot 101The focus here is on the bones, joints, and ligaments of the feet. A study of the tendons and muscles is not necessary to understand the places where a sprained foot would most likely occur.

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. This explains why those who experience damage to a portion of the brain, such as from a stroke, experience such a wide variety of impairments, depending on the location and severity of damage."

The system is basically made up of specialized cells called neurons. The complexity of the nervous system increases with the complexity of the body of organisms. Most primitive animals like sponges, flatworms have a very simple nervous system while advanced animals like vertebrates have a highly complex nervous system with larger brains. Brain is one of the largest and most amazing organs in an organism that can be categorized under the central nervous system. The human brain can be divided into three categories, namely, forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Both the cerebrum and cerebral cortex come under the forebrain. Cerebrum Cerebrum is the largest and most prominent part of the human brain. It appears to envelop the rest of the brain as it constitutes 4/5 of its weight. It is split longitudinally into two large, prominent hemispheres; left and right by deep median fissure called ‘cerebral fissure’."

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. The four principal sections of the human brain are the brain stem, the diencephalon, the cerebrum, and the cerebellum."

"text": "What Are Adult Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors? 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."

( Contrast this response with the chemical control used by the endocrine system. ) How does the nervous system accomplish this? How are messages transmitted throughout the organism and how are the messages interpreted? How does the organism respond? Environmental (internal or external to the body) messages ( stimuli) are received, transmitted, and interpreted by the functional unit of the nervous system—the neuron. Appropriate responses are carried out by effectors (a muscle or gland). The Neuron The neuron, a nerve cell, is the functional unit of the nervous system that carries the impulse (the message) to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. There are three types of neurons and each has different functions.1) sensory neurons —receive impulses and carry them from the sense organs to the spinal cord or brain.2) interneurons —connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse; only in the brain and spinal cord.3) motor neurons —carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands The Response Mechanism When a stimulus is received by a sensory neuron, the impulse (or message) is carried through fibrous extensions called dendrites to the cell body."

The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time. It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body.

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. The Cerebrum The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for the majority of our brain’s functions relating to thought, perception and experience. The neocortex describes the parts of the cerebrum responsible for higher order thought."

The arrow was a weapon in their culture, it was used to hunt and provide for their families as well as offer protection, and because of this it was a tool for sustaining life. One of the biggest factors in altering the meaning is the way that the arrow is depicted or placed in the tattoo design.

I've seen a picture of Page wearing the shirt with the 4 symbols but I don't know if the shirt was produced before or after the album came out. The album really doesn't have a name other than Led Zeppelin 4 but some refer to it as Zoso because one of the symbols seem to spell that out.

Since then she has added at least another six tattoos that include a small skull with a pink bow on the back of her left foot, \"\"shhh...\"\" on her right index finger, \"\"love\"\" on her left middle finger, an Arabic phrase on her ribcage area reading ' Al Hurria fi Al Maseeh ' translating into Freedom in God.

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. Skull tattoos are very versatile tattoo designs, and a popular skull tattoo design incorporates both skulls and roses."

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. The dragon tat “was a seven-hour piece, and I think dragons are good luck,” Pink says. “ And it looks hot."

"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."

Some box turtles, like the ornate box turtle, eat insects. They have a sharp eye and keen sense of smell. Young, growing box turtles, up to 4-6 years of age, tend to be primarily carnivores and adults tend to be herbivorous. As a guideline, your box turtle's diet should be about 50% plant-based material and 50% animal-based material. Be sure to discuss a specific diet for your turtle with your veterinarian. How often should I feed my box turtle? Most young turtles eat daily, while older turtles can be fed daily or every other day, depending upon the pet's individual appetite."

Ideally an outdoor set up works best. They require high humidity with a damp substrate and a good source of water for swimming/soaking daily. If kept indoors provide the largest enclosure you possibly can. A large 50+-gallon Rubbermaid type container works well enough, but bigger is even better. 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. The basking area should be in the range of 90-95°, but the turtle must also have a cool side to the enclosure to retreat to if it wants to."

Everything is left to chance and the owners are quite surprised when they see hatchlings emerge. Most don't have a clue as to how to care for them. This is NOT the way to bring baby box turtles into the world. All breeding of captive box turtles should be done in a responsible manner. The stresses and energy drain on both the male and female box turtles during breeding, egg formation, and laying are considerable and can make them more prone to illness and death. Also, related turtles should not be allowed to breed as it is possible for the offspring to be weak or deformed and suffer painful or early death. If you do raise hatchlings, what are your plans for them?"

Although numerous animals, from invertebrates to mammals, have evolved shells, none has an architecture like that of turtles. The turtle shell has a top ( carapace) and a bottom ( plastron ). The carapace and plastron are bony structures that usually join one another along each side of the body, creating a rigid skeletal box. This box, composed of bone and cartilage, is retained throughout the turtle’s life. Because the shell is an integral part of the body, the turtle cannot exit it, nor is the shell shed like the skin of some other reptiles.species of turtles Turtles (order Testudines). Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. There are about 300 species of turtles living on land in all continents except Antarctica and in both salt water and fresh water. Tortoise s (family Testudinidae) live exclusively on land and have anatomic features distinguishing them from other turtles, but the term tortoise has long been used to refer to other terrestrial testudines as well, such as the box turtle and the wood turtle. Similarly, terrapin is sometimes used to describe any aquatic turtle but is now largely restricted to the edible diamondback terrapin ( Malaclemys terrapin) of the eastern United States.

The variety in species makes this an answer that depends on what type of turtle you are talking about. For example, a sea turtle, a box turtle, and a snapping turtle will have very different diets. Turtles are a lot of fun to keep as pets. They range from extremely easy and low maintenance to very difficult high maintenance. Part of what makes a turtle easy or difficult to keep is what the type of turtle eats. Some foods are more difficult to acquire or cost more than others, so keep their diet in mind when selecting the type of turtle you want.

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. S. states and for each CAT scan procedure."

D., FAHSKey Points Most people with headache do not need to get an imaging study. 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."

What exactly is a subdural hematoma? Answer: Let's start with the basics. 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."

STORY: Some tests should be used sparingly STORY: Child CT scans could raise cancer risks They can pinpoint the precise location of a potentially fatal blood clot in the lungs. And they can show pictures of a beating heart so clear that a cardiothoracic surgeon knows what he will encounter before he has made the first incision. That's all improved diagnosis and treatment for countless millions. But these scans aren't without risk. They deliver much more radiation than X-rays.

"text": "\"Home > Health Library Computed Tomography (CT or CAT) Scan of the Brain See related health topics and resources<< Back to Neurological Tests and Procedures (Head CT Scan, Intracranial CT Scan)Procedure overview What is a CT scan of the brain? 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."

"text": "How Are Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors Diagnosed in Children? 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 pictures may be looked at by doctors specializing in this field (neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroradiologists) as well as by your child’s primary care doctor."

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."

A review of the development of the Brangus breed would take us back beyond the founding of the American Brangus Breeders Association in 1949; however, registered Brangus descend from the foundation animals recorded that year or registered Brahman and Angus cattle enrolled since then. 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."

Image: Robbins, Braun, Finch Red-factor canary. Image: Freegiampi Hybridization and Artificial Selection. 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. However, when the hybrids are fertile, it is an entirely different matter."

As a history snapshot, the cow breed that is most abundant in India is called Brahman Bull breed today. Because, in the old days from times immemorial, the Brahman caste folk lived on these cows (i.e. lived on it's milk and dairy products). In 19th & 20th centuries, Brahman caste gave keeping & taking care of them and since the 19th century the Vaishya caste folk took them over.

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."

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."

But the long-term effect of this healthy competition has been a steady improvement in Missouri’s agriculture, agribusiness, domestic arts and, today, even fine arts. From 1901 to today, the Missouri State Fair has been a barometer of the state’s economic health and a documentary of the history of Missouri agriculture. The Missouri State Fair plays an essential role in keeping agriculture one of Missouri’s top industries. HOW IT BEGANLong before the State Fair began, Missouri livestock breeders received thousands of premiums and much recognition at national and international expositions. The state also ranked first in production of several important crops. In recognition of this leadership, the State Agricultural Society established an exposition in Boonville, Missouri in the 1850s – but the project folded after three years."

"text": "Home > Cattle 101 > How Cattle Are Raised How Cattle are Raised Regardless of the size or type of beef operation they run, one thing that California ranchers have in common is the quality of care these animal stewards provide for their livestock. Just like someone in the accounting industry may be good with numbers, cattle producers are good with cattle and enjoy their work. For California beef producers, ranching is a business, but more importantly, it is a way of life and ranchers do what they do because they love they outdoors and their animals. Ranchers are committed to providing the best care possible for their livestock and providing a healthy and humanely-raised product for consumers. 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. Calves are sold at weaning (typically 205 days of age) or are retained for an additional forage production season as stockers. Climatic and management conditions dictate different calving seasons in different regions."

"text": "LONGEVITY AND FERTILITY ARE PROFIT DRIVERS FOR CATTLE OPERATIONSby: Clifford Mitchell Producers in the 21st century beef industry come better prepared than ever before. Continued education programs and an abundance of online resources help cattlemen stay well informed. Record keeping practices have improved and cattlemen have a good handle on the costs associated with their operation. Tightening margins have forced producers to further evaluate the management plan, running through many different scenarios to find the best production model. For some this was a real eye-opener, for others it reinforced the approach they were taking to manage the herd for a profit. A genetic base complete with a bundle of traits also played a key role in the success of the operation. Many cattlemen have argued with neighbors and colleagues until they were blue in the face over their point of view; however, most will agree longevity built into the female is a definite advantage for most outfits. “Every year I can keep a cow it cuts my costs $1,500. Because that's what it costs to get a female into production,” says James Henderson, Bradley 3 Ranch, LTD, Memphis, Texas. “Operations have to be profit driven."

[ 1] [2] The breed was created to combine the characteristics of both animals for beef production.

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. [ 5] He called the result \"\"cattalo\"\" in 1888. ["

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? Our kidneys have filtration function which is performed by glomerular filtration membrane."

"text": "Bubbles in Urine (Pneumaturia) Meaning & Causes of Bubbly Urine Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet What is Pneumaturia? 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. More conclusively though, a person may notice passing gas from the urethra during urination."

Florio Nov 3 2015You pee more often in a day than you might eat — at least six to eight times, and maybe even more if you're drinking the right amount of water. 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.

Find out. Urine isn’t something most people talk about. We barely give it more than a passing glance as it swirls out of sight down the toilet bowl. Yet changes in the urine – its color, odor, and consistency – can provide important clues about the status of your body. Your urine can reveal what you’ve been eating, how much you’ve been drinking, and what diseases you have. “Urine and urinalysis have, for hundreds of years, been one of the ways physicians have looked at health,” says Tomas Griebling, MD, MPH, vice chair of the urology department at the University of Kansas. “From a historical view, urinalysis was one of the original windows into what’s happening in the body,” Griebling says.

If you don’t drink more than a couple of glasses per day now, how are you supposed to drink a gallon tomorrow? Drinking more water is a simple way to reduce your stone risk, but simple does not mean easy. Most of you find this task extremely hard. I tell everyone to start out slowly. If you drink one glass per day now, then drink two tomorrow. Set new goals to increase your water consumption each week."

Has anyone successfully countered the lower back pumps associated with most orals? Doesn't matter what oral I use (d-bol, m-drol, winstrol ) I get these dreaded back pumps. I know that supplementing taurine, potassium, and calcium are said to help this situation, but has anyone had success in curing these pumps with these supplements? Also, my water intake is not of concern because I consistently drink 1-1/2 gallons of water a day. Also, I have been splitting my oral winstrol dosage of 50mg/day into 20mg at 6am (right after I wakeup) and 30mg at 3 pm (9 hours after the 1st dose, 1 hour before my workout). Is this split ideal (Note: the winny tabs are 10mg each)?06-25-2009, 01:09 PM #2Kansas City Boy Associate Member Join Date Apr 2007Location KCPosts 319Ive just always accepted the back pumps with any orals I consume.

"text": "Alexander Black, 6th year medical student at University of Cambridge Answered Jun 10, 2016Frothy urine is generally indicative of fat and protein ending up in the urine as part of a nephrotic syndrome. 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."

Their color varies from brownish to shades of green, often with spots or blotches of a darker color around their backs. Their back feet are fully webbed. The sex of an adult bullfrog can be found out easily by examining the size of the tympanum (the external ear of the frog) relative to size of the eye. 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. Also, during the breeding season the throat of the male bullfrog is yellow, and the female's is white.

"text": "\"F ERMILAB F ROG F AQs. . . So what makes a frog a frog? 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. On the other end of the spectrum, toads and treefrogs spend the majority of their adulthood outside of water."

Masked Tree Frog For a long time now, you have been familiar of the frogs and toads, but have you ever given thought to, “ where do frogs live ?” They have a fossil history dating back to a minimum of 220 million years. 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.

I loved the Jungle Book cartoon movie when I was a kid and I must say it is a favorite even today. So when I heard about this real-life Mowgli character, I was fascinated. Folklore and fairy-tales always mention that wild animals do not hurt the young ones of any species. But that theory hasn’t exactly been tested out in the real world, and there have been cases where babies were reportedly killed by man-eating lions or tigers. 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. She was named after actress Tippi Hedren, who is said to have kept fully-grown lions as pets in her home, and little Tippi was no different from her namesake, demonstrating early on the ability to form unusual bonds with the creatures of the wild.

"text": "Instructor: Julie Zundel Julie has taught high school Zoology, Biology, Physical Science and Chem Tech. She has a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Master of Education. Typically, animals can only mate within their own species. In this lesson, you will learn about reproductive isolation, or when two species are unable to reproduce, including types and examples of isolation. 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. The above example of the deer is a case of speciation, or when one species becomes two or more, due to evolution."

"text": "\"Advertisement Amphibians Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Amphibia Back to Animals What are amphibians? Amphibians are a class of animals like reptiles, mammals, and birds. They live the first part of their lives in the water and the last part on the land. When they hatch from their eggs, amphibians have gills so they can breathe in the water. They also have fins to help them swim, just like fish. Later, their bodies change, growing legs and lungs enabling them to live on the land. The word \"\"amphibian\"\" means two-lives, one in the water and one on land. Amphibians are Cold-blooded Like fish and reptiles, amphibians are cold-blooded. This means their bodies don't automatically regulate their temperature. They must cool off and warm up by using their surroundings."

"text": "Bullfrog Photo: Russ Ottens, University of Georgia, Bugwood.org Photo: Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board What are they? Bullfrogs are the largest frog species in North America. They are found in a variety of freshwater habitats, including ponds, marshes, streams, rivers, canals, reservoirs, ditches, shallow wetlands, and storm water ponds. Bullfrogs compete with, and prey on, a wide range of native species, and can affect significantly native ecosystems such as wetlands. Are they here yet? Yes. Bullfrogs are found throughout the lowlands of Washington. Why should I care? Bullfrogs are predators that eat practically anything they can catch. They can swallow tree frogs, other amphibians and reptiles such as the western pond turtle, minnows, small birds, and young snakes."

It is fun, but more than simply a \"\"drop in the bucket. \"\" What is a tadpole? A tadpole is the aquatic larval stage of a frog or toad. Appearing to be nothing more than a head and tail, these lumbering tadpoles spend nearly all their time grazing on algae or swimming to the water surface. Care of tadpoles Water is the most important item. Chlorine, added to most drinking water to remove bacteria and algae, will kill tadpoles. Treat your water to remove the chlorine, as you would for aquarium fish. Another important item is a large flat-surface container. An enamel or plastic pan which can hold 2 to 3 inches of treated water is better than an aquarium."

After hatching they can remain as tadpoles for one to three or more years depending on conditions. Male bullfrogs stake out and defend their territory from any male frog intruder. Bullfrogs can jump up to 15 times their body length to catch anything from insects, crayfish, minnows, and other frogs (even other bullfrogs) to small rodents, hatchling turtles, ducklings, bats, and snakes!During the winter, bullfrogs burrow into the mud on the pond bottom and remain there until spring, absorbing oxygen stored in the mud. Tadpoles may be active under the ice all winter. What to Watch for: Size: Generally 3 ½ -6 inches with a maximum length of 8 inches. Appearance: Adults: Green with mottled darker green, black, and brown with muscular hind legs. Males may have a yellow coloration on the throat during the breeding season. Females have a white throat."

"text": "MATCHING YOUR SHOES TO YOUR SUIT COLORFor those of us who wear suits fairly frequently, whether it be for work or just because we like the way we look in them, we typically gravitate towards the three main shoe leather colors or the 3 B's as I call them; Black, Burgundy and Brown. 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."

A More Intense Lookcredit: Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images A bright denim jacket pairs well with a burgundy dress. Look to complementary colors on the color wheel to make your burgundy item stand out. Since burgundy is in the red family, opposites on the color wheel, such as greens and blues, add a pop of intensity. Turquoise is a suitable hue of green for a brighter shade of burgundy, while hunter green offers a more understated look. Plus, denim really lights up next to burgundy.

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."

Black shoes and a black suit work great if you're going to a funeral, but most of the time we're a little more colorful in our wardrobes. How does a man wearing a navy, light-grey, or brown suit match his shoes with the suit color? Take a moment to get to know the chart below. It pairs the five most common suit colors — navy, medium or mid-gray, charcoal, brown, and black — with three different shoes to show you which colors work with which leathers. Now, are these shoe matching rules absolute? Not entirely — but it's a very safe guide to follow. If you're bucking the advice here, it should be because you're going for a really unique look or you know the rules and make a conscious decision to ignore them!For example, we don't have the burgundy shoes paired with a black suit. But a rocker might wear a black suit with red Converse All-Stars, and that would be, if not exactly timeless men's style, certainly a style choice that could work.

"text": "Image: Canali AW13Share this article: Introduction The seasonal change from summer to autumn generally heralds a more sombre approach to style and, particularly, colour. 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."

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. To help you, below are some common smart casual outfits and my tips on how to make them look stylish so that the next time you are invited to an event with some quirky <fill in the blank> casual event you can be well prepared."

Similarly, if you’re looking for shoes for a casual sundress, choose a pair of casual shoes. With your red wrap dress, you’re looking for a shoe that’s as classically sophisticated as your dress is.

( Fall, the best time of the year!) The cute outfit possibilities with boots are endless and this should give you plenty of outfit inspiration for the fall and winter season. I’ve made this post a roundup of my favorite boot outfits that I’ve worn on the blog; everything from how to wear ankle boots to wearing booties with jeans. Boots are my preferred footwear during the fall. With the so many boots options available—flat, over-the-knee, heeled, wedge, pointed toe, ankle—there is a boot to go with every outfit and occasion. You can wear a dress with boots, jeans with boots, and even ankle boots with trousers. Depending on your style and your personal preference, a classic black or brown riding boot might just be the only boot you need. But if you’re a boot enthusiast, like I am, then you’ll want to wear flat embellished ankle boots, heeled ankle boots in black and brown, some furry boots for the snow, and black suede over-the-knee boots.

Oxblood refers to the colour rather then the actual blood of an ox (which a few of hundred years ago it did).

"text": "Home > Photos • Shopping • Style > Fodor’s Approved: Best Checked Luggage for 2015Fodor’s Approved: Best Checked Luggage for 2015Fodor's Editor | June 22, 2015Jennifer Arnow Try as you might, sometimes it's impossible to fit everything you need for a trip into a single carry-on bag. Whether you're hitting the road for a month, packing clothes for more than one person, or just want to have room for all the things you know you're going to buy, there are times when checked luggage is exactly what you need for your travels. With that in mind, we've tried out the latest crop of large luggage on trips all around the world, road-testing the wheels on subways and sidewalks, noting how much each suitcase can hold, and deciding which pieces are attractive (or at least functional) enough to warrant the investment. For your next long-term or long-range journey, look to this lineup of our favorite staff-tested and -approved checked luggage. Jennifer Arnow Bric’s LIFE 26″ Ultra Light Spinner The Tester: Kristan Schiller, Editor, Cities and Cultural Destinations The Review: I traveled throughout Spain with this suitcase for several days. It held clothes and toiletries with room on return for three pairs of espadrilles, a full set of locally made soaps, and a glass water bottle I carted home to hold flowers. The best feature is that it moves quickly through busy airports on its well-made wheels. A standout feature is the zipper hatch, which is surprisingly easy to open and shut. The Catch: The bag is sturdy but bulky, so if you're looking for lightweight luggage, this is not for you. The loden-colored, suede-like outer fabric also seems to easily show fingerprints."

"text": "The Most Comfortable Ballet Flats, For Work and Beyond!05/02/2016 by Kat 54 Comments Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “ The Hunt, ” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have. We’ve talked a lot about flats over the years, but I don’t think we’ve ever done a major roundup of the most comfortable ballet flats for work. So ladies, let’s hear it — which are your favorites? What are your favorite ways to break in a new pair of flats, or make them more comfortable for your feet? ( As someone with narrow heels I’m always adding these heel pads .) Although rounded toes have come really far for work, I still think the best flat for work is one that has a bit of a point to it, in a durable leather, preferably with a rubber sole or rubber heel for comfort and grip. I know some people hate the look of patent leather flats, but I don’t mind them, particularly in a tumbled patent leather (like the Calvin Klein flat pictured below) or a color other than black, like a nice gray. We’ve rounded up some of the best-selling, highest rated styles below — which brands and styles are your favorite? Hall of Famers: BP .,"

Published: 29 Apr 2016Author: Antonia Blackwell Applies to: UK wide Print Tweet Retailers BHS and Austin Reed have recently gone into administration, leaving 11,000 and 1,200 jobs respectively at risk. In such uncertain times, what rights do affected employees have? What is administration? Administration is a legal process which usually involves an insolvency practitioner taking over the running of an insolvent company, with a view to restructuring the business or realising its assets. 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."

Search for Doctor of Business Administration programs in our database DBA and MBA: Content The MBA is a general management degree with a strong practical approach. 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. You are reading about the theories behind what is taught in the MBA and you learn the methodological tools necessary to generate knowledge as an academic."

"text": "The Reference Data Challenge for Data Administration Posted on October 1, 2001 by Malcolm Chisholm Published in TDAN.com October 2001Reference data is known to most IT professionals as “code tables” or “lookup tables”, and usually exists as rather simple database tables with just two columns – one for a primary key code and another for a description. 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."

Of course MIM and MBA have similarities – because both are postgraduate management programs – but still differ in several aspects. Here are the key differences. Search for Masters in Management (MIM): More than 600 MIM programs in our database Search for Masters of Business Administration (MBA): More than 2,000 MBA programs in our database Key Differences between MIM and MBA1. 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. Professional experience Professional experience of Master in Management students does not play a major role during the studies, whereas MBA programs gain a lot of value from the professional experience the students bring into the course discussions. In a nutshell: Master in Management programs are primarily designed for talents in their early career stages right after their undergraduate degree or after about one year in job."

I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a 'pinch' of this and 'just enough of that' and 'two fingers of water,' and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice.

"text": "\"Cooking Lessons from the Kitchn How To Cook Bacon on the Stovetop Dana Velden Jan 10, 2017Share Email Start with a cold pan: Bacon should be started in a cold pan, so before you turn on the heat, lay out your strips on the pan. You can place them so they are touching and crowd the pan a little as the bacon will shrink as it cooks but do not overlap too much. Ah, bacon. We use it in every meal, from breakfast straight through to dinner and even on into dessert. While it can seem like a messy endeavor, cooking bacon on the stovetop is the classic way to crisp up those delicious strips of smokey goodness and it's dead simple to boot. Read on for our step by step guide, including tips for choosing a good pan, dealing with splattering, and getting rid of that lingering fried bacon smell. Why Cook Bacon on the Stovetop? Cooking bacon on the stove top is how we did it when I was growing up, and it's the method that's most familiar to me. My mother had a long, rectangular cast iron griddle pan that fit over two burners and could cook up a whole pound of bacon at once. Frying up the bacon was often my job as a child."

"text": "\"\"\"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! 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."

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. I love bacon, but I hate cleaning up after frying bacon in a pan."

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."

Classic Southern Pinto Beans We've had so many days of rain now that I've literally lost count, and according to our weatherman, there's more to come this week. 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. Write a few new recipes and take my own sweet time in the kitchen. All of which I managed to do. After days and days of being waterlogged though, it does get a little tiring. Being wet is one of my least favorite things in the world, but then again, so is oppressive heat and at least we've gotten a little break from that."

I could tell you about the bonfire-roasted wild rat I ate one night on a remote Pacific beach. I could tell you about kicking back shots of aguardiente in sweaty salsa clubs until dawn, or about the drug trafficker I got stuck drinking with one night, a guy who casually threatened to kill a cigarette vendor when she didn't have the brand he wanted (I can't tell you how relieved I was to survive that episode). But instead I'm going to tell you about a chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwiches, generally speaking, don't exist to excite. They're trustworthy and filling and totally vanilla, the sensible footwear of sandwiches.

"text": "\"Synonyms: snags = bangers = salsiccia = wurst = sausissons Pronunciation: SAW-sidge A typical sausage consists of ground meat that's combined with fat, flavorings, and preservatives, and then stuffed into a casing and twisted at intervals to make links. 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. Varieties:abruzzo sausageandouille = Cajun andouille = Louisiana andouille Pronunciation: ahn-DWEE or ann-DO-ee Notes: This is a spicy smoked Cajun sausage that's used in jambalaya and gumbo.

"text": "Don't be put off by its French name. aking a roux is one of the simplest cooking techniques. This mixture of cooked fat and flour is the basis for cream sauces, homemade macaroni and cheese, soups and gumbo, among others. Creating a roux is about as complicated as making toast, but the constant stirring required for a perfect roux requires a bit more dedication. 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."

"text": "\"California king snakes (Lampropeltis getula californiae) are reptiles that enjoy a great deal of admiration in the pet world, as they tend to thrive in captivity. 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."

Apparently kingsnakes are either immune to or tolerant of rattlesnake venom. Kingsnakes also eat other snakes, lizards, amphibians, birds and bird eggs, and rodents. 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.

"text": "Pets & Animals Reptiles Snakes Q: How Are Snakes Born? 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.

They typically have three light stripes that run along the length of their body on a black, brown, gray, or olive background. 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. Their tongues are red, tipped in black, and their scales are keeled (with a raised ridge along the length of the scale). The chin, throat and belly resemble the stripes in coloration, ranging from white to yellow, greenish, blue, or brown."

In the wild they will eat leeches, crickets, fish, snails, slugs, earthworms, mice, lizards, amphibians, minnows, rodents, frog eggs, and toads.

For this reason, everyone living here should learn how to recognize this snake species. Rattlesnakes are most known for the rattles on their tails and their large front fangs that deliver a poisonous bite. 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."

[ 4] [5] It is found throughout the southeastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size, attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them popular pet snakes. Though superficially resembling the venomous copperhead and often killed as a result of this mistaken identity, corn snakes are harmless and beneficial to humans. [ 6] Corn snakes lack functional venom and help control populations of wild rodent pests that damage crops and spread disease. [ 7]The corn snake is named for the species' regular presence near grain stores, where it preys on mice and rats that eat harvested corn. [ 8] The Oxford English Dictionary cites this usage as far back as 1675. 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. [ 9] [10] Regardless of the name's origin, the corn reference can be a useful mnemonic for identifying corn snakes."

Like all snakes the prefer a temperature gradient so they can more easily regulate their body heat by moving from one spot to another. Normal household humidity works fine for these snakes as Corn snakes are not a tropical species. No additional lighting is necessary but if you use it then go with a 12 hour on and 12 hour off cycle as too much will be stressful for them."

"text": "Is A Broken Tooth An Emergency? 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. This is a relatively simple procedure that can be completed in one dental appointment."

It is one of the most painful ordeals that can hamper your day in a moment. The extreme pain makes it difficult for many people to function normally. This dental ailment is most commonly triggered by tooth decay. Tooth decay usually occurs when there is an accumulation of oral bacteria that infect the gums and teeth [ 1, 2 ]. Worry not. You can get rid of a toothache fast by using simple natural remedies. Toothache is often the result of poor dental hygiene. That is to say, particularly, not brushing and flossing the teeth after meals or before going to bed. It’s very much important for you to go and see a dentist for this problem."

Signs that a cat may have a dental problem include bad breath, red and swollen gums, poor appetite, weight loss, pawing at the mouth and refusal to eat hard food. Contact your veterinarian’s office for a dental appointment if your cat shows any of these signs. Periodontal Disease Is Common Periodontal disease is the most common dental problem that affects pet cats. About 85 percent of cats older than 6 years have some form of gum disease. In periodontal disease, plaque accumulates on the cat’s tooth surfaces and forms tartar. The tartar hardens and irritates the gums, leading to an inflammation called gingivitis. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and dental surgery for your cat. Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions, or FORLs, affect at least half of all pet cats.

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."

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. But the type of treatment for a damaged tooth depends on what type of tooth (baby or adult) and its stage of development. Common Causes of a Cracked or Broken Tooth There are several potential causes of a cracked or broken tooth."

When a cavity is not treated by a dentist, it can grow larger, breaking the tooth or spreading to the gums and bone structure. Broken teeth from physical trauma may also cause abscesses.

"text": "What Do Cows Eat?by Allison Ryan We aren’t the only ones eating a carefully balanced diet – dairy cows do too!Dairy farmers work closely with nutritionists to plan and ration a cow’s diet. 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."

Here's how it works. Read the follow-up article: How To Implement The Two-Step Weaning Process Joseph M. Stookey and Derek B. Haley | Nov 01, 2001The best method of weaning beef calves may be the two-step. The first step involves preventing the calves (still with the cows) from sucking, while still allowing them to drink and graze. The second step is actual separation of the calves from their dams. In testing at the University of Saskatchewan, this two-step process reduced weaning stress on calves compared to traditional weaning methods. 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. Typically, weaning beef calves involves breaking up a cow/calf pair and moving each to a separate location. Both the cows and calves show dramatic behavior changes at this time. Cows and calves spend lots of time and energy bawling and walking as they search for one another."

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."

"text": "Beefbrought to you by Livestock > Calving Specialists Provide Advice On Early Weaning Calves If you’re thinking about early weaning for the first time, specialists advise doing some advance planning, and talk with your veterinarian and a nutritionist about the appropriate programs. 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."

Male moose, known as bulls, can weigh as much as 1,400 pounds. That is equivalent to about 8 grown men! However, the species of moose found here in the Border Country are usually between 700-1,200 pounds. Females usually weigh between 700-1,100 pounds and males are between 900-1,200 pounds. Moose are unique, charismatic animals. They are easily identified by their large noses, humped shoulders, and great size. These animals also have a huge flap of skin and fur under their necks called a “bell.” Male moose have a much larger bell than females. Another cool characteristic of moose are the large antlers found on males."

"text": "\"ADVERTORIAL10 more cattle questions You've got questions, we've got answers Q: How many acres do you need for a cow and calf? A: The acreage required for a cow-calf pair will depend on several things: mainly soil fertility, pasture quality and how much rain you get in your area. 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. Q: How many days after giving birth does a cow go into heat? A: Your cow should start to cycle around 60 days after calving."

The RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) are trying to redeem the meat in the eyes of UK consumers – most of whom now view veal as the ultimate ethical no-no. \"\" Veal shouldn't be a dirty word,\"\" said Rowen West-Henzell, food business manager for CIWF. \"\" There is a process of re-education that needs to occur. British rose veal is something we are happy to endorse. \"\" High-welfare veal is known as rose veal, as calves are not fed the restricted, low-iron diet that is needed to produce the traditional white veal meat. Veal – which comes from the meat of calves between six and eight months old – is widely eaten in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy, but currently has a limited market in the UK. \"\" Over the next year we will be promoting the consumption of rose veal as a way of dealing with the problem of wasted bull calves,\"\" said Ms West- Henzell. Last year around 260,000 young, male dairy calves were condemned as \"\"waste products\"\" in the UK, as they don't produce milk and are rarely used for beef due to their low muscle tone. These animals are either shot at birth or exported to the Continent. \"\""

"text": "\"Answer by Karin L. Confidence votes 95.1KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. This all depends on what that \"\"cow\"\" is being fed for. Since most everyone likes to refer to \"\"cows\"\" as a general term for a bovine of any age, sex, and use, this question will have to be answered as such. 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."

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."

"text": "Bottle-raise a calf By Jackie Clay Issue #120 • November/December, 2009If you think milk and beef are expensive in the grocery store, then you should think about raising a baby calf or two. 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."

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."

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."

It is a program that focused on giving children the opportunity to choose what they did during the day -- even nothing -- and guiding them through creative art and science projects.

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.

"text": "What Is the Lone Scout Plan? 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."

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. Uniquely, my institution is one of the few in the world that uses genetic counselors as a part of our primary care practices, similar to the way most practices may have a nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant.

Other topics that will arise in the course of this paper are the definition of \"\"boot camp,\"\" and goals of juvenile boot camps. 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)."

In winter we fight off the bald eagles and bears for dead salmon lying on the side of the road. There are a few times of year where salmon used to be unavailable, but some smart-ass decided to raise Atlantic salmon in pens, not only providing a much-needed new salmon species to eat, but sucking down great gobs of Government research dollars to develop the best ways of keeping the new fake salmon from intermingling with the real salmon.

Hepatitis is a disease that can cause inflammation of the liver. There are many causes of hepatitis, both infectious and non-infectious. Infectious hepatitis can be caused by several different Hepatitis viruses. The most common in Canada are A, B and C, though of these three, only Hepatitis A can be transferred through contaminated food and water. Hepatitis A can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months. You can get the Hepatitis A virus by eating contaminated food or water or through contact with an infected person's feces (stool). How do people get sick? Hepatitis viruses are spread from person to person through contact with infected feces (stool), either directly (like when diapering an infected person) or indirectly (through food that was handled by someone who did not wash their hands)."

Looking at the Canadian food guide as an example, it says a teenage boy should be eating about 3 servings of meat and alternatives a day. This is without any changes for someone who is highly active. 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. There is also the milk and alternatives group which requires about 4 servings of milk and alternatives a day. A cup of milk counts for one serving. 4 cups of milk amounts to just about 35g of protein. Together that amounts to 100g of protein.

"text": "\"Author: Canadian Living Nutrition What to do when there's too much iron in your diet Sep 8, 2011By: Helen Racanelli Share Many of us worry about not getting enough iron in our diets. What might come as a surprise is that it's entirely possible to have too much iron in your diet if you're afflicted with a condition called hemochromatosis. Never heard of it? One in 300 Canadians has it, and according to the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society (CHS) it is Canada's most common genetic disorder (toomuchiron.ca). Read on to find out what to do if you have too much iron in your diet. What is hemochromatosis? 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. A gene mutation causes sufferers to store excess iron throughout their lifetimes. For instance, an unaffected man or woman might have four grams of iron in his or her body, while someone with hemochromatosis might have 15 to 60 grams when he or she is diagnosed, says the CHS."

"text": "12 Ways to Save Big on Groceries and Shop on a Budget If you buy your groceries using a few proven strategies, you can save a lot of money. Here’s how much you can save . . .25% Buy Generic Brands instead of Name Brands You can save 25% on your groceries if you buy generic brand groceries instead of name brands. Sometimes generic brands don’t taste as good as brand names, but you can work around this. For example, real Cheerios taste better than generic brands of Cheerios, but if you’re buying for a toddler, they probably won’t care. When it comes to staples like sugar, salt, flour, bleach and many other items, for most people there is no discernible difference in quality—only in the price. You might not want to completely ignore brand name groceries—they do go on sale—however, if you can substitute generic or no name brands for brand names, you can begin to experience some real savings. Potential Annual Savings: $720*23% Make a Grocery List and Stick to it According to research from the University of Pennsylvania, people who can avoid impulse spending can save up to 23% on their grocery bills. Making a grocery list and sticking to it is the best way to shop. Potential Annual Savings: $2,650*25% Eat More Fruits and Vegetables You can shrink your grocery budget by up to 25% and trim your waistline at the same time by adding more fruits and vegetables to your snacks and meals."

If not, you might want to think twice before moving to rural areas of Idaho, western Montana and western Wyoming. Back in 1995, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service introduced 35 Canadian gray wolves into central Idaho and the Yellowstone area of Wyoming. Since then these gray wolves have multiplied and are now roaming in huge packs. As you can see from the picture, these Canadian gray wolves grow to enormous size. Unlike the smaller wolves that are native to the area, these giant wolves travel in huge packs. They have been ravaging farm animals all over the region and they have been attacking humans with increasing frequency. A single one of these giant wolves can weigh up to 180 pounds. It is estimated that there are now up to 2000 of these giant wolves roaming the region and they are constantly breeding. Packs of up to 20 have been spotted."

"text": "\"Canadian Foods In a multi-ethnic, restaurant-heavy country like Canada, it can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to define what exactly counts as “Canadian food.” In general, most Canadians eat a largely “western” diet broadly similar to the diet of Americans and Europeans, with a heavy focus on processed grain and dairy products, farm-grown beef and chicken, certain cooked or fresh fruits and vegetables, and questionable amounts of salt and sugar. Foodio/Shutterstock Canadian Breakfasts A Canadian homestyle breakfast is one featuring eggs, meat, and toast, and often pancakes as well. A continental breakfast, by contrast, is a much lighter meal usually consisting of toast, pastries, juice, oatmeal, and other things that don't require much cooking. A homestyle breakfast is something you'd get at a restaurant, while a continental breakfast is usually associated with hotels. The Canadian Diet Canadians usually eat three standard meals a day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — each of which is quite distinct. 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. For those in a rush, a breakfast may only consist of one of the above; for those who take it seriously, it’s not uncommon for a “hearty” Canadian breakfast to contain almost everything mentioned."

"text": "\"Quora User, Canadian Updated Feb 23, 2018 · Author has 1.1k answers and 2m answer views Short answer, in the US \"\"Canadian Bacon\"\" is made from the loin of pork and ham is made from specific parts of the leg, thigh or rump of the pig. But there's a long answer that's called for too: If you order bacon in a restaurant in Canada you get the same thing you do in the USA, streaky bacon made from the pork belly. 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\"\". However that is a cold trail, the path to what Americans call \"\"Canadian Bacon\"\" is back in Britain."

Brining in one of the most powerful forms of seasoning, flavoringand curing meat. Disperse salt and aromatics in water, then submerge a whole muscle into that salted flavored water. 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. When it’s finished brining, rinse the meat and pat it dry."

This may include worms, large wood ants, beetles, smaller cane toads, fish, mice, rats, and other frogs. All of which may be purchased at your local pet shop.

Frogs will eat flies, crickets, spiders, beetles, grasshoppers, all sorts of insects and if there happens to be a smaller frog to hand, it will probably eat that too. They will also eat small invertebrates, ants and forest mites. The Cane toad will eat almost anything! It will quite happily eat small vertebrates and even dog food! In Australia, mammals and marsupials like the pygmy possum have made a good meal for a hungry Cane toad. Again, the Cane toad gets a very bad reputation amongst bee keepers as they tend to attack beehives (make a beeline for it in fact) and will devour huge amounts of bees. The Cane toad really does not help itself in trying to better its reputation!If you intend keeping frogs as pets they will need a healthy diet - one that is nutritious and well-balanced. It is also very important that the right size of food and amount of food is given to your frog at the right time."

The most important thing to emphasise is thatit can be hard to tell the difference between cane toads and frogs– and so a lot of native frogs have been killed by mistake – including endangered species – because people have thought they were cane toads. So please – make very sure that the animal you have found really IS a toad before you attempt to kill it! This sounds a bit silly - most people are sure they could tell the difference between a cane toad and a native frog. But, sadly, they can't.

"text": "\"Amazon Amphibians By Rhett Butler | Last updated 2017-Jan-26 Frogs are overwhelmingly the most abundant amphibians in the rainforest. 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]. These striking but slow-moving frogs secrete powerful toxins from glands on their backs and use their color to advertise their toxic composition to potential predators. Their toxins are derived from the invertebrates they eat."

With stunning red edges to its belly scales and a shiny black back, this snake surely ranks amongst Australia's most stunning venomous snakes. The Red-Bellied Black snake is most active during the day, although they may also be seen on hotter evenings. Habitat The Red-Bellied Black Snake can be found inhabiting most forest types near permanent watercourses or swamps in eastern and south-east Australia. Diet The Red-Bellied Black Snake's diet consists of frogs, other reptiles and mammals. Usually seen around cool, wet areas the Red-Bellied Black Snake is particularly fond of frogs, making the Cane Toad a big problem. If they even bite a Cane Toad its all over. It's hard to believe that this beautiful snake could suffer so badly as the result of the introduction of one alien species. Breeding Mating occurs in spring with combat between rival males occurring in this period. During combat, the snakes bodies are intertwined with their heads raised."

A Taste of Toad: Conditioned Taste Aversion vs Invasive Cane Toads A lace monitor ( Varanus various ), one of the many native predators at risk from invasive toad ingestion, giving the writer/photographer a defensive display Among the plethora of man-made environmental issues currently challenging global biodiversity, invasive species are increasingly recognised as a serious problem. 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). This central & south American perennial has established invasive populations in 50 countries, including around 4 million hectares throughout Australia’s Great Dividing Ranges."

Australian native frogs are currently classified into four families Hylidae, Myobatrachidae, Microhylidae and Ranidae.91% of Australian species belong to the families Hylidae and Myobatrachidae. These families are now thought to be endemic to Australia and New Guinea, but related to South American families via a common Gondwanan ancestry. Species belonging to the Myobatrachidae family of frogs are terrestrial or aquatic, with no arboreal species. These frogs range in size from the very small (eg. Crinia signifera is between 18-28mm) to very large ( Mixophyes iterates can sometimes be over 100mm) and are found in a wide variety of habitats such as coastal areas, eucalypt woodlands, rainforest and semi-arid/arid zones. Cyclorana: photo Araucaria Ecotours Species belonging to the Hylidae family are generally known as tree frogs with members generally found to have slender bodies and adhesive toe pads.

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. Toads will eat cane beetles, and this is why laboratory experiments suggested them as a means of biological control."

"text": "The Biodiversity Impact of Cane Toads What impact do cane toads have on biodiversity in Australian ecosystems? 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)."

"text": "\"CANE TOAD BIOLOGYIn most scientific papers on the cane toad, the official name of the species is given as Bufo marinus – the first name ( Bufo, the genus) is based on this species being a “true toad” or bufonid. 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. But now that the DNA evidence is available, we can see that the cane toad is actually part of a small group that can be given its own name – Rhinella."

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."

"text": "About Capers and Their Culinary Uses Capers origins and history The caper plant is a small-flowering bush that is usually seen growing wild along the Mediterranean coastline. 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. What are Capers?"

Photography Credit: Elise Bauer Salad Niçoise (pronounced nee-suahz) is essentially a French composed salad, much like our American Cobb salad, but with tuna, green beans, and potatoes, instead of chicken, bacon, and avocado. Salad Niçoise hails from Nice, on the Mediterranean Sea, though like so many foods we enjoy here of French origin, has changed a bit to adapt to our tastes. According to the Wikipedia the Niçoise salads are always made with raw vegetables and served with anchovies. Nicoise salads that are served in America are typically served on a bed of lettuce and include cooked green beans and potatoes. According to our Paris insider, the Niçoise salads there are all made with canned tuna. Depending on the establishment here, I’ve had them either with canned or with freshly grilled tuna. Like its American Cobb salad cousin, the Salad Nicoise takes some time to prepare, given all of the ingredients. This is one dish where setting up your mise en place (all ingredients chopped and ready to go) will help the salad come together smoothly.

The buds are harvested manually, dried in the sun, then pickled in vinegar, brine, wine or salt."

But hey, that’s just me and I know plenty of people that really love them!So, in case you want to know what capers do taste like, I thought I would explore them some more to help you find the answer. You may happen to already love them, in which case I’ll also show you some ways that you can incorporate capers into your regular diet. Let’s find out more!Table of Contents What Are Capers? Let’s start with a little background!Capers are what you get when the plant, capparis spinosa, creates a bud, but the bud is picked before flowering. 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. In more recent times, however, some say capers originated on the Isle of Capri in Naples, Florida."

We often get to taste capers in the form of an additive or a seasoning over many Italian and French dishes. Many bon vivants are simply crazy about the flavor that capers impart, that's why they are the most common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. Caper berries are actually olive green in color and are about the size of a corn. Usually available in a pickled form, capers are an important commercial plant because almost all parts of the caper plant such as the flowers, buds, and leaves are used for medicinal and culinary purposes. Capers Food Facts and Information Taxonomy The caper is a perennial spiny shrub that has fleshy, alternative rounded leaves and white-pinkish flowers. There are more than 150 species of the caper plant with a few of them being very popular spices in various cuisines. Kingdom: Plantae Division: Angiosperm Class: Magnoliopsida Sub-class: Dilleniidae Order: Capparidales Family: Capparidaceae Genus: Capparis Species: Spinosa History The caper plant has been used for medicinal purposes since the Romans and the Greeks were around.

They are commonly used in Italian tomato sauces (like puttanesca) and they pair well with other \"\"complexifying\"\" flavors, like onions, garlic, smoked salmon. For a simple puttanesca sauce, try sauteing tomatoes, garlic, onions, lots of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper (or red pepper flakes) with some fresh veggies (carrots, zucchini, peppers, olives, or anything else you like) and topping that over an \"\"al dente\"\" pasta of your choice.

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."

"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. They are washed in water, the skins are rubbed off, and the head and tails removed."

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."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hydrostatic pressure is generated by the systolic force of the heart. 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 balance between the two forces differs at different points on the capillaries."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology What do arteries,veins,capillaries do?what are there functions?2 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Arteries Thick walls enable arteries to withstand the pressure created by the pumping of the heart (blood pressure). 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. Also, unlike arteries, some veins have valves (tissue flaps) that permit blood to flow in only one direction, back to the heart."

We know that all plants need water to survive, even bouquets of cut flowers and plants living in deserts. But have you ever thought about how water moves within the plant? In this activity, you'll put carnations in dyed water to figure out where the water goes. Where do you think the dyed water will travel, and what will this tell you about how the water moves in the cut flowers? Background Plants use water to keep their roots, stems, leaves and flowers healthy as well as prevent them from drying and wilting. 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. How does it do this?"

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 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.

"text": "\"The Cardiovascular System: Mechanics and Dynamicsby Stephen J. Griffith To Guide Entry Send / Read Comments Overview Rationale The Circulatory System Teaching Strategies CLASSROOM ACTIVITIESAppendix Works Cited End Notes Overview The cardiovascular (or circulatory) system is one of the most vital systems in the human 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. For areas that cannot be helped (due to normal aging or genetic defects), biomedical engineers have developed sustainable heart valve replacements, artificial hearts, and materials for use in creating artificial blood vessels, and artificial hemoglobin. Rationale Seventh grade life science in Georgia is a general study of biology including an introduction to the kingdoms of life, the interdependence of life, and the structure of life. The state standards require students to understand the structure of cells and their functions as well as how cells form tissues, organs, and organ systems. Unfortunately a fascination for the human body is never developed through these lessons; rather, students are taught in depth about the cell and in limited breadth of tissue and organs."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Carbon capture and utilization. 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. ["

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.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search It has been suggested that this article be merged into Carbon sequestration. ( 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.

Overall equation for the type of photosynthesis that occurs in plants Composite image showing the global distribution of photosynthesis, including both oceanic phytoplankton and terrestrial vegetation. Dark red and blue-green indicate regions of high photosynthetic activity in the ocean and on land, respectively. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities ( energy transformation ). This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek φῶς, phōs, \"\"light\"\", and σύνθεσις, synthesis, \"\"putting together\"\". [ 1] [2] [3] In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies all of the organic compounds and most of the energy necessary for life on Earth. [ 4]Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments."

Properties Carbon dioxide is a simple covalent molecule that most people have heard about, as it is often in the news linked to global warming. Carbon dioxide has the formula CO 2 and at the centre of this linear molecule is a carbon atom joined by two pairs of double-bonds to the oxygen atoms, i.e O=C=O. At room temperature carbon dioxide is a colourless gas which has a slightly sweet smell. Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule with a bond angle of 180°. This gas was 'discovered' by Scottish scientist (physicist and chemist) Joseph Black (right). Dry Ice Solid carbon dioxide is known by chemists as cardice and by everyone else as dry ice. 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. Carbon dioxide is non-polar as its dipoles cancel, and this contrasts with the polar molecule sulfur dioxide (SO 2 )."

Michael Stravato for The New York Times THOMPSONS, Tex. — Can one of the most promising — and troubled — technologies for fighting global warming survive during the administration of Donald J. Trump? 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. When it fires up, the plant, which is attached to one of the power company NRG’s hulking coal-burning units, will draw 90 percent of the CO 2 from the emissions produced by 240 megawatts of generated power."

A fossil fuel power station is a power station which burns a fossil fuel such as coal, natural gas, or petroleum to produce electricity. Central station fossil fuel power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Fossil fuel power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator. The prime mover may be a steam turbine, a gas turbine or, in small plants, a reciprocating internal combustion engine. All plants use the energy extracted from expanding gas, either steam or combustion gases. Very few MHD generators have been built which directly convert the energy of hot, moving water into electricity. MHD means Magnetohydrodynamics, which is the study of the magnetic properties of electrically conducting fluids.

It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known; nearly all life depends on it. It is an extremely complex process, comprised of many coordinated biochemical reactions. It occurs in higher plants, algae, some bacteria, and some protists, organisms collectively referred to as photoautotrophs. Overview Photosynthesis uses the energy of light to make the sugar, glucose. A simple general equation for photosynthesis follows. 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen + water Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first phase light-dependent reactions or photosynthetic reactions (also called the Light reactions) capture the energy of light and use it to make high-energy molecules."

"text": "\"Environment What are ways of removing co2 from from the atmosphere? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A carbon dioxide (CO2) sink is a carbon reservoir that is increasing in size, and is the opposite of a carbon \"\"source\"\". 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."

"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."

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities ( energy transformation ).

[ 1] [2] [3] In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies all of the organic compounds and most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

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

Photo by Kim Seng There are technologies now being developed which could cut the rate of increase of greenhouse gases, even potentially return Earth’s atmosphere to preindustrial levels. 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. If we remain on our present course, scientists say, CO 2 levels will continue to rise — sharply— for years to come. Climatologists tell us that the climate change train has long since left the station, but perhaps it is not yet too late to prevent it from accelerating beyond our capacity to cope. There are technologies now being developed which could cut the rate of increase of greenhouse gases, even potentially return Earth’s atmosphere to preindustrial levels of CO 2. Better yet, the price tag for implementing them may not be all that great — especially when compared to the mounting costs of continuing down our present course."

"text": "Difficult to detect and treat once the damage is done, carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. This sneaky, toxic gas finds its way into your home through a wide range of seemingly harmless sources. Even in small doses carbon monoxide can be harmful and may even cause permanent damage if not caught quickly, and heavy exposure can be lethal in the worst cases. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the U. S. The Center for Disease Control reports carbon monoxide poisoning sends about 15,000 people to the emergency room and kills 480 people each year. This is a type of gas exposure that should not be taken lightly. What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that is near impossible to identify without a proper detector. It is caused by fuels not burning completely, including wood, gasoline, coal, propane, natural gas, gasoline, and heating oil. This unburned fuel can come from anything from clothes dryers, water heaters, and ovens to ranges, a fire-burning fireplace, or a car left running in a closed garage. When carbon monoxide passes through the lungs, it enters the red blood cells and binds to hemoglobin in the same place as oxygen."

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.

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.

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. Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning Follow these safety tips Install a UL-approved carbon monoxide detector and alarm.

Natural Gas and Carbon Monoxide Natural gas is a colorless, odorless gas, yet has chemical additives to allow the average person to easily detect a leak. Natural gas lines in your home fuel everything from ovens and furnaces to water heaters, clothes dryers and fire places. Natural gas is not only highly flammable but suffocates the air of the good oxygen (O2); oxygen our red blood cells rely on to fuel our bodies, most particularly our major organs. Natural gas also contains carbon, which is why exposure can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, yet gas leaks are seldom detected by your carbon monoxide detector."

"text": "Carbon Monoxide Detector Placement The first thing you need to determine when purchasing a carbon monoxide detector is how many do you need. For many situations, you will only need one, but if you are buying them to obtain the best protection or to comply with codes, you may need more. The second thing you need to consider is the proper carbon monoxide detector placement to provide the best protection for you and your loved ones. How Many Carbon Monoxide Detectors do I Need? In a residential setting, you should have at least one detector on each level that is occupied. So, if you live in a two-story home with a basement, you should have a minimum of three CO detectors, one per floor. In addition, you may want or need to place a detector near fuel-burning appliances, since they are potential sources of CO. Also, a detector near such an appliance gives an early warning of a CO problem before it builds up elsewhere in the residence. If you live in an area that requires carbon monoxide detectors to be installed, you might want to call your local building official to find out the exact requirements for your locality. For maximum protection, you can place a number of these around your house."

Millions of North Americans are trying to quit everyday. Thanks to the efforts of science, a great deal more is known today about the dangers of smoking than ever before. Increased publicity has led to better education of the general public on the hazards of cigarette smoke. Unfortunately, although many smokers know that smoking can lead to lung disease and cancer, few are aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is present in every cigarette causing a legitimate threat to a person’s health. Anyone who smokes, regardless of how often, should know about carbon monoxide and how it affects the body when it is inhaled. Instead of smoking cigarettes, consider smokeless electronic cigarettes. You'll also save money on a smokeless safe alternative to unhealthy cigarettes. Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer because it is colorless and odorless and thus virtually impossible for a human to detect."

When pressed, the peak button causes the LCD screen to display the highest level of CO recorded since the last reset. © 2008 How Stuff Works You may be surprised to discover that a carbon monoxide (CO) detector really isn't a complicated piece of equipment. Housed inside a plastic chamber approximately 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter are parts that work in unison to alert a household when lethal gas is detected. The exact components can vary from one model to another, but here's a run-down of the basic parts: A small silicon microchip sends an electronic charge, a sort of \"\"what to do\"\" signal, to the other parts of the detector. The chip is fused to a copper-wired, integrated electronic circuit panel, which is the base for the unit. Light-emitting diodes ( LEDs) use lights to let you know how the unit is functioning and whether the battery needs to be replaced. Some detectors also have a liquid crystal display ( LCD) panel that shows a readout of CO levels. Wires to the building's electrical system or a battery provide power to the unit. A test/reset button lets you make sure the alarm is working."

"text": "How to Detect a Carbon Monoxide Leak Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas, which has no colour, odour or taste. Invisible, silent and deadly, this hazardous gas is therefore notoriously difficult to detect because of its characteristics. Even the symptoms that are caused by this gas are non-specific, further delaying the detection of carbon monoxide because sufferers often think that they simply have flu. Trying to detect a carbon monoxide leak is therefore extremely difficult, but there are steps you can take. The first step is simply vigilance and awareness. 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. Carbon monoxide poisoning can differ in symptoms slightly because, unlike flu, you won’t feel feverish and achy all over. You may also find that, with carbon monoxide poisoning, the symptoms come and go or are exacerbated in certain places of at particular times of the day."

What can we do to help comfort it? and don't worry, we are being very careful with it and we are using gloves to touch it (and that is only when we need to). Answers: Contact your nearest wildlife rehabilitation center ! Depending on the type of break it can often be treated and the faster the better! Not to mention having a broken wing hurts quite a bit so I'm sure the bird would appreciate pain killers. For now place it in a cardboard box (avoid cages they'll wreak havoc on the feathers), keep it covered and avoid peeking inside as this will only stress the bird further. You can offer some food, in this case seeds will do for now since its a cardinal but it probably won't eat since it's in a great deal of pain."

The female is mostly buff brown in color with some red on her head, wings, and tail. Both have small black masks on their faces that surround the bill and eyes with the males more pronounced. They measure 8 1/2 inches long. Northern Cardinals have been steadily expanding their range north while also inching their way westward. This range expansion offers more bird watchers a chance to see and observe this bird. One of the explanations for this expansion is the proliferation of food available from people feeding birds."

Since the Neon Tetras stay quite small and have a peaceful temperament, they are often found in small community aquariums. Neon Tetra classification: The Neon tetras belongs to the genus Paracheirodon in the family Characidae. This makes it closely related to other popular aquarium fishes like the Cardinal tetra ( Paracheirodon axelrodi) and the Green Neon tetra ( Paracheirodon simulans). The less commonly kept Black Neon tetra ( Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi )is however a more distant relative since it belongs to another genus within the family Characidae; the genus Hyphessobrycon. All members of the genus Paracheirodon are native to the Neotropic ecozone in northern South America and their bodies are decorated with a characteristic sparkling blue lateral line. They are often kept together in planted community aquariums with soft, acidic waters and tropical water temperatures."

The males and females have dramatically different appearances. The Northern male cardinal has a distinctive red crest, and it’s the crest that got the bird named because it looks like a Catholic cardinal’s mitre. Almost all of the birds in the cardinal family are doing quite well, so they’re not on any endangered species lists. If you’re wondering what a cardinal eats, you’re not alone.

On the metformin, my quality of sleep was negatively affected by four to five episodes of bad hot flashes every night. Because hot flashes/night sweats were not mentioned as a side effect either by my doctor or on the information pamphlet, I notified my doctor. He suggested stopping the metformin for two to four weeks to see if the night sweats subsided. I had immediate relief with the night sweats the first day I stopped the medication.

The pokeberry, poison ivy fruit, elm buds, box elder seeds, ragweed seeds, sunflower seeds, muskmelon seeds and corn are just some of their favorite food. Thirty percent of their diet consists of insects making the cardinals very useful to farmers and gardeners. Their insect diet consists of pests such as moths, beetles, ants, dragonflies, cotton cutworms, scale insects, cotton bollworms, grasshoppers, aphids, snails and slugs. During the winter season, cardinals are a frequent sight in backyard feeders in search of food along with sparrows, finches, towhees and other seed-eating birds. Cardinals usually eat on the ground by hopping around but they can go to bird tables, trays on posts and trees, window trays and hanging feeders especially those with perches. Water is vital for cardinals. They use it for drinking and bathing during the hot and cold months."

Immature cardinals have the olive, “female” plumage. Males will develop their bright-red colorations by their first fall or winter. Immature cardinals are also easily recognized by their black beaks. Range The northern cardinal is found throughout the eastern United States and on south into Mexico and Central America. Historically, cardinals were most numerous in the southern portions of their geographic range, but they have been steadily increasing in numbers in the north and are even expanding their distribution northward into northern New England and southern Canada."

S. states. Bright red cardinals are easily identified by even casual bird watchers, and are often seen frequenting backyards and bird feeders. When foraging elsewhere the birds eat insects, seeds, grain, fruit, and sap. Population Range Cardinals, also called “redbirds,” do not migrate and have traditionally been more common in warmer climes such as the U. S. southeast. However, in recent decades they have expanded their common range north through the United States and even into Canada. This population growth may be due to an increase in winter birdfeeders and to the bird's ability to adapt to parks and suburban human habitats. Coloring Only males sport the brilliant red plumage for which their species is known. The color is a key to mating success—the brighter the better."

"text": "\"Home »Nature Different Species of Cardinal Birds By Cassandra Mathers; Updated April 25, 2017Cardinals are perching songbirds found in North and South America. 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. Because cardinals don’t migrate, they are available to watch year-round."

This hobby offers one an opportunity to appreciate, delight, and connect to the natural world. With its brilliant red feathers, head crest, black throat and face mask, the male northern cardinal is considered to be the most popular of all songbirds. The female is light brown to pale yellow with reddish tinted wings, tail and head crest. Cardinals live mainly in the eastern United States, from Canada all the way to the Gulf States. Cardinals prefer to be fed from bird feeders that are about 4-6 feet high. They prefer the steadier, stationary feeders rather than hanging feeders. Cardinals also enjoy ground feeding. The best wild bird food to provide for cardinal include black oil sunflower, buckwheat, black and gray stripe sunflower, and safflower seeds. Cardinals usually are the first birds to feed in the morning and the last to feed at night."

Depending on the age of the bird human interference could be causing more harm than good. Many fledglings discovered by members of the public are mistakenly thought to be injured or abandoned, and subsequently moved from their natural habitat. Young garden birds, or fledglings, usually leave the nest two weeks after hatching and during this vulnerable period of their lives they are fed on the ground by their parents. Tawny owl fledglings are even able to climb back up to their nests on their own. Most of the birds are not orphans No matter how well-meaning, human interference can reduce a young bird’s chances of survival. Handling can cause extreme stress and being fed an inappropriate diet can cause development problems. We are aiming to prevent thousands of baby birds from being handled unnecessarily. Senior scientific officer at the RSPCA Adam Grogan said:“Unless a baby bird is clearly a nestling, or is a fledgling that is injured or in immediate danger it is best to leave them alone. “Our wildlife centres care for more than a thousand ‘orphaned’ fledglings each year, picked up by well-meaning people."

"text": "\"What To Do If You Find A Baby Bird Lazuli Bunting feeds young - Jim Cruce The following is a quick guide to help you make the right decision when a baby bird is found. 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. Unless a bird is injured, it is essential to leave them outside to learn from their parents. Before taking any baby bird out of the wild, please contact the Wildlife Care Center at 503-292-0304. If you are calling from outside Oregon, please call your State’s Department of Fish and Wildlife for a list of local wildlife rehabilitators who might be able to help you. Nestlings on the Ground If you are concerned that a bird fell from its nest too early, you may try and return the bird to its nest. If the nest has been destroyed or is unreachable, you may substitute a strawberry basket or small box lined with tissue and suspend it from a branch near to where you believe its nest is located."

Full Answer Ducklings are examples of precocial birds, which are birds that have open eyes and coats of feathers or down when hatched. These birds have the mobility to leave the nest soon after birth; in fact, one group of birds called megapodes is so well developed at hatching that hatchlings can fly almost immediately. Eagles are examples of altricial birds, which are birds born in a less developed state that must be cared for by their parents."

The bird above, tagged with band #8101-40837 as a newly fledged female on 30 July 2001, represents the worst that could happen for any self-respecting cardinal: She has lost all but one of the feathers in what should normally be an elegant crest (below right), and she now looks for all the world like some kind of naked lizard-head mounted on the red-feathered body of a bird. If anyone has any doubt that birds and dinosaurs sprang from a common ancestor, even a cursory look at the top photo should convince them otherwise. The cardinal's ear opening and lack of an ear flap are just like that of a lizard, and the only real external differences between their heads is that lizards such as male Carolina Anoles (below left) have scales and toothy, bony jaws while birds have unscaled skin and toothless, horny bills. ( NOTE: Having just experienced the pain that comes from a Northern Cardinal repeatedly clamping down on our finger while we took these photos, we might rather be bitten by a lizard with teeth. ) All birds go through molt, and most species replace all their feathers at least twice a year.

"text": "\"\"\"Abandoned\"\" Birdsby Todd Culver The return of migratory birds to North America is a ritual of spring. 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."

"text": "\"Do Birds Mate for Life?by Dawn Hewitt | Managing Editor, Bird Watcher's Digest The \"\"cardinal kiss\"\", photo by Christopher Goodhue We’ve all heard it countless times: Certain species of birds mate for life, including geese, swans, cranes, and eagles. 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."

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."

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. What do you expect of those decadent, debauched Europeans?"

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!

Antlers of adult bulls are large and massive; those of adult cows are much shorter and are usually more slender and irregular. In late fall, caribou are clove-brown with a white neck, rump, and feet and often have a white flank stripe. The hair of newborn calves ranges from dark, chocolate brown to reddish brown. Newborn calves weigh an average of 13 pounds (6 kg) and grow very quickly. They may double their weight in 10-15 days."

"text": "\"Tundra Biome - Tundra Climate (E)In: The Cold Climate Updated 29 Jan 2013Did you know that the Arctic Tundra is the world's youngest biome? It was formed 10,000 years ago. Located at latitudes 55° to 70° North, the tundra is a vast and treeless land which covers about 20% of the Earth's surface, circumnavigating the North pole. It is usually very cold, and the land is pretty stark. Almost all tundras are located in the Northern Hemisphere. Small tundra-like areas do exist in Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere, but because it is much colder than the Arctic, the ground is always covered with snow and ice. Conditions are not right for a true tundra to form. Average annual temperatures are -70°F (-56°C). Tundra comes from the Finnish word \"\"tunturia\"\", which means a barren land. The ground is permanently frozen 10 inches to 3 feet (25 to 100 cm) down so that trees can't grow there."

It can be divided clearly into three different sections: the High Arctic Tundra, the Low Arctic Tundra and the Alpine Tundra. The latter Alpine Tundra occurs in higher altitudes such as mountains whereas the first two are mainly based in plains and lowlands of some kind. The Low Arctic Tundra is the transmission point to the north. It is located above Canada’s Boreal forests and is followed by the High Arctic Tundra. The High Arctic Tundra is located farther north and encompasses the Arctic circle as well as most of the western Northwest Territories. Generally though since climate more or less corresponds to vegetation zones, the Tundra is located in Arctic climate areas. Temperature The Tundra suffers a very harsh climate. Because of this fact most of the area remains barren save for a few shrubs and lichens."

"text": "What is tundra? The tundra is a vast region of cold, mostly treeless lands extending along the entire margin of the Arctic Ocean. Because of the low temperatures, the ground is frozen (called permafrost, for permanently frozen ground). During the short summer, only the uppermost foot (30 cm) or less actually thaw. Under these conditions only the toughest plants can grow, and the typical tundra vegetation consists of grasses and shrubs, lacking the taller trees with deeper roots that are so common further to the South. The photograph on the right shows a low ridge in the tundra in Northern Alaska, with some willows growing at the edge of a pond. In the background you can see the Brooks Range, that separates the tundra from the forests (also called taiga or boreal forests) of interior Alaska. On the map you can see the tundra shown in blue. Almost a quarter of the area of the state of Alaska is made up of tundra. Tundra in spring."

It’s a layer of permanently frozen soil called permafrost, which lies about 25 to 95 cm underground. Permafrost acts as a barrier to tree roots, so no trees can grow above it. It can’t even be penetrated by water, which is why the soil above permafrost gets very soggy in summertime, when bogs, lakes, and marshes lie on the land. Dry, Windy Deserts Although arctic tundra ecosystems are wet underfoot in the summer, they actually receive very little rain, with less than 25 cm falling every year."

It is mainly located in Canada and the upper parts of Asia and Europe. The coniferous forest gets the name coniferous because the main type of vegetation located in it is conifers such as pines. There are also a variety of animals such as caribou, black bears, and lynx. Climate/Location The taiga is located in the northern parts of Alaska, Canada, Asia, and Europe. The taiga is wrapped in a band around the world and has the tundra above it and the deciduous forest in the parts below it. This means that the tundra is at a latitude that is farther away from the equator then the taiga is and the deciduous forest is closer to the equator then the taiga is. The climate of the taiga is very cold and dry but not as much as the tundra is. The taiga gets between 25-75 cm of rain per year. The taiga has cold snowy winters and warm summers."

The Alaskan tundra receives very little precipitation, experiences bone-chilling temperatures and winds and has a layer of permafrost beneath the soil. Nevertheless, plants do survive in this ecosystem. The plants that grow in this part of North America have adapted to such extreme and strenuous conditions. Arctic Willow The Arctic willow, also known as a rock willow, is an unusual shrub in that wherever the branches hang down and encounter the ground, they form roots. The shrub takes on a variety of shapes on the windblown tundra but never grows very tall. Often this plant forms dense mats over an area. It has dark green leaves, lighter on the top of the leaf than on the bottom. The plant produces only seeds when it blooms, lacks a taproot due to the nature of the Alaskan tundra surface and has the ability to protect itself from insects. It does so by producing a type of pesticide that prevents bugs from dining on it."

The summer is brief, with temperatures above freezing lasting for only a few weeks at most. However, this \"\"warm\"\" summer coincides with periods of almost 2 4 hour daylight, so plant growth can be explosive. World Distribution: The map below shows the tundra spreading across the northern hemisphere. Tundra is largely restricted to the northern hemisphere; there simply is no comparable land mass in the southern hemisphere with the appropriate climate. The areas of the southern hemisphere at high enough latitudes is small, and these areas have their temperatures moderated by the proximity of surrounding oceans. Parts of Greenland extend north far enough that the tundra is replaced by snow and ice; in contrast Canadian and Russian islands at these latitudes are again influenced by the surrounding oceans and may thus exhibit tundra conditions.

[ 2]They build nests inside wood consisting of galleries chewed out with their mandibles, preferably in dead, damp wood. They do not consume the wood, however, unlike termites. [ 3] Sometimes, carpenter ants hollow out sections of trees. They also commonly infest wooden buildings and structures, and are a widespread nuisance and major cause of structural damage.

That’s why you often see them in kitchens and bathrooms. Outside, carpenter ants are often seen in trees, preferring the sweet “honeydew” secretions of aphids, which they find on leaves.

( 1/4\"\" - 1/2\"\" long) Nesting in damp locations, carpenter ants prefer to excavate wood that has been damaged by water. From their nests in the beams, floors or walls, they scavenge the house for food crumbs and insects. Carpenter ants may occur in several colors, although the most important species are black. One of the largest members of the ant family, carpenter ants take their name from their habit of chewing passageways (called \"\"galleries\"\") inside wood. They live in these galleries and make excursions, most often at night, to hunt for food and water. These ants often set up satellite colonies inside homes from parent colonies located outside in a tree or landscape timber. Where You'll Find Carpenter Ants Carpenter ants love damp climates and moist areas – damp wood, any dark void, a few morsels of food. Places that get a lot of rain are especially susceptible."

"text": "Ant Control Home Decor Cleaning & Organizing Pest Control What to Do About Flying Ants in Your Home By Lisa Jo Lupo Updated 03/20/18Share Pin Email GLady/pixabay CC0Seeing flying ants in your home is never a good sign, but having these winged ants in your home in the winter is especially problematic. 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. In fact, carpenter ants are one of the largest of all ant species! But other carpenter ants are very small, so size is not a way to determine species. So how do you know if it is termite or an ant?"

"text": "\"NEXTSome ants do have a sweet tooth.i Stockphoto/ Thinkstock Most ants are opportunistic feeders; they'll eat just about anything. 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. Take your pets, for instance: Your dog requires about 30 percent protein in his diet, but your cat requires around 90 percent protein to stay healthy. Sugar ants are after that sugar rush, where big-headed ants go for protein and fats if they're available. Ants leave scent signatures made up of pheromones as they forage for food."

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.

"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."

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.

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."

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."

An example of a job that gets a salary is a teacher. It doesn't matter how much homework they grade over weekends and vacations, they get the same amount of money. What a \"\"Salary\"\" looks like: $45,000 per year What a \"\"Wage\"\" looks like: $16.50 per hour So basically, a Salary tells you how much you'll earn either in a month or a year. While a wage tells you how much you'll earn in an hour (and a Day, too? Not sure on this). in my view wages is paid to the labor directly involved in production either receives money hourly, monthly, or weekly. while salary is paid to the worker or staff related to administration and selling. wages becomes part of the product cost, while the salary treated as selling and administrative expense. wages are what you get paid hourly for instance if you get paid like $6.00 per hour then if you work more then 40 hours in one week then you are entitled to overtime which is time and a half so after 40 hours you would then be making $9.00 per hour."

Check out the Lexicon. The Captain One thing for sure about pirates is they didn't like authority. The Navy ships of the various countries were usually commanded by the privileged class, not necessarily because of any inherent skill but just because that was the way it was done. Sailor in the regular navy were often treated miserably by their Captains. Pirates would have nothing to with this. Contrary to the book Treasure Island, Most Captains didn't command by an iron fist, they commanded because of skill, daring, and the ability to win prize and booty. In some cases pirate ship elected its Captain through a vote. If the Captain fell in disfavor The crew were just as quick as quick to maroon their captain, or throw him overboard, or perhaps if he were lucky they would just let him off at the nearest port. But it is safe to assume that if a Captain had a bad cruise with little to show for it and the end of it, it would be difficult for him to raise a new crew in the future."

( Contributed by Everett Collection)HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Arriving on the set of a low-budget 1978 horror film called \"\"Halloween,\"\" actor Tony Moran had no idea he'd be wearing a mask. Yes, Moran is one of three men that played the adult version of killer Michael Myers, referred to as \"\"The Shape\"\" in closing credits, in the original movie that launched a franchise that has grossed over $557.5 million (adjusted for inflation), according to moxofficemojo.com. ( The other two adult Myers actors from the first \"\"Halloween\"\" film, which was shot in South Pasadena, Calif., were Nick Castle and Tommy Lee Wallace. )\"\" When I call the call from my agent I thought it was about the corniest thing I'd ever heard, a horror movie called 'Halloween,' \"\" Moran says. Today, Moran is calling from a Camden, S. C. hotel where he's staying during his appearance at a Bishopville, S. C. haunt called Kreepy Hollow. \"\" I figured a week or two at the drive-in. I was doing an acting workshop at the time and I didn't even tell my friends at the acting workshop about (the movie) because I was embarrassed. \"\" Moran was paid a princely $250 for his work on \"\"Halloween,\"\" which he says he spent on \"\"gas to go surfing\"\" and food. The actor - who after leaving Hollywood behind became a mortgage broker before returning as a producer/actor in the 2010 horror flick \"\"Beg\"\" – believes there are three primary reasons Myers has joined Freddy Kruger (\"\"Nightmare on Elm St.\"\"), Jason Voorhees (\"\"Friday the 13 th \"\") and Leatherface (\"\"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre\"\") as the most iconic horror antagonists. \"\""

The label info looked impressive, stating that both sides had the same finish (with no knots)& that is was a hardwood that is excellent for cabinet work. I thought that it would be easy painting like Luan plywood (it has a similar grain), but I was in for a surprise. A fuzzy grain popped up all over after priming the cabinets I built & it didn't get any better with the paint either. This soft, fuzzy surface doesn't even sand properly on bare wood. It just seems to move with the sandpaper. I paid $40 at HD for this crap & I should have held out for the $44 Birch (even with the blemishes on the \"\"B\"\" side). Lesson learned.

"text": "Related Articles1How to Bid for a Job as a Contractor2How to Prepare a Quote for a Job3Profit and Loss for a Self Employed Carpenter4How to Bid Successfully for Work Carpenters use both power and hand tools to build buildings, cabinets, doors and other objects made of wood. 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."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Law Enforcement & Police How good do firefighters get paid? ? or do they get paid at all? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Assuming you're talking about a full time firefighter rather than a volunteer, then they get paid in the same manner as most other jobs, a paycheck. 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.

They add function and beauty, as well as high-end appeal. Built-ins range from simple shelving units built into or onto a wall to built-in desks, bars, entertainment centers and even columned units that visually and functionally divide a room.

You might want to hire a professional handyman. Depending on your location, rates range from $30-$125 per hour. Ask whether you can have a flat rate for a project.

As irony would have it, it is also home to a thriving music scene, And Sacramento's hard-hitting Deftones play a major role. The four members of Deftones, who have enjoyed a tight camaraderie since childhood and have breathed sonic fire into otherwise quiet suburban streets for the past four years, agree that few in the outside world know about it. \"\" Sacramento's a killer music scene,\"\" says guitarist Stephwn Carpenter, \"\"but it's just not a great club scene.

S. with a range of backgrounds and health conditions. Participants in Medicare have to meet certain eligibility requirements in order to sign up for this health insurance. 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. Finally, individuals receiving benefits because of Lou Gehrig's disease or kidney failure can sign up for Medicare under the age of 65."

White Ash (endgrain 10x)Black Ash (endgrain 10x)Although Black Ash can be separated from White Ash on the basis of macroscopic anatomy, many other species of ash cannot, and they share the same traits as White Ash. These indistinguishable species include: European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Oregon Ash (F. latifolia), and Green Ash (F. pennsylvanica). In many instances, knowing the geographic source of the wood will help differentiate these species, (with the exception of Green Ash, which has a natural range that largely overlaps that of White Ash). One variant of ash is Olive Ash (and its burl veneer), which does not refer to any specific species of ash, but instead is in reference to the darker, streaked heartwood found in some Ash trees, which tends to resemble the heartwood of olive trees in the Olea genus, and both genera are in the Oleaceæ family. Far and away, most commercial Olive Ash occurs as European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), and is typically imported from Europe.

"text": "The Inch Worm (Inchworm)December 3, 2005The inchworm (“inch worm”) is a type of caterpillar, and belongs to a family of moths called Geometridae, a group with over 1,200 species native to North America. Also called measuring worms, spanworms, loopers and cankerworms, inch worms are larvae, and are usually considered pests because of the damage they inflict on trees, plants and shrubs. 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. When in danger, some inchworms stand upright and still on their prolegs, making them appear even more like a twig."

Noteworthy Characteristics Catalpa speciosa, commonly called northern catalpa, is a medium to large, deciduous tree that typically grows to 40-70’ (less frequently to 100’) tall with an irregular, open-rounded to narrow-oval crown. It is native to a relatively small area extending from western Tennessee, northeastern Arkansas and the lowlands of southeastern Missouri north to southern Illinois and southern Indiana. In Missouri, it typically occurs along streams, bluff bases and in both low and upland woods (Steyermark). Broad ovate to ovate-oblong leaves (to 12” long) are pointed at the tips and rounded to cordate at the bases. Leaves are light green to yellow green above and densely pubescent below."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Pollen source)navigation search Bee collecting pollen Pollen laden bees at hive entrance Bee on plum tree with pollen The term pollen source is often used in the context of beekeeping and refers to flowering plants as a source of pollen for bees or other insects. 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."

"text": "How Long to Earthworms Live? February 18, 2010Depending on the environmental conditions, certain earthworm species may live anywhere from 4-8 years. The life span of an earthworm also depends on the number of predators the worm has to fend off each day. 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. The eating habits of earthworms also help with the environment. As they digest organic matter, their bodies expel it and produce excrement that is rich in calcium, potassium and phosphorus."

[ 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 would be outstanding as a unique, ornamental shade tree. Large, showy white, trumpet-shaped flowers will puit on quite a show in late spring. What a site this tree becomes when the huge white flowers create a stunning contrast against the solid green background of foliage! As an added bonus, the flowers attract hummingbirds!As a member of the Bignonia Family, it is related to Trumpet Vine, Royal Paulownia, and other species of Catalpa, all of which are known for their showy flowers. This deciduous tree is also known as Hardy Catalpa, Western Catalpa, Cigar Tree, and Catawba-Tree. It may reach heights of 70 feet tall and 40 feet wide, making a great shade tree. The huge heart shaped leaves can be as big as 12 inches across! They not only help block the sun on hot summer days, but also makes the chore of raking leaves a lot easier. Farmers introduced Northern Catalpa to Ohio in order to produce large amounts of relatively lightweight timber for fencepost since the wood is very resistant to rotting."

Natural range of Catalpa speciosa Catalpa speciosa, commonly known as the northern catalpa, hardy catalpa, western catalpa, cigar tree, catawba-tree, or bois chavanon, [1] is a species of Catalpa native to the midwestern United States.

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."

"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."

"text": "Bluegill can be a handful for fishermen trying to land the toughest battling sport fish -- pound for pound -- in Alabama waters. ( 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. Bluegill beds are easy to locate, hence the ease of catching."

"text": "Catalpa Worms Bring Fishing Memories— Written By Donna Teasley and last updated by Glenda Burgess Finally, a Burke County insect has been spotted that has a practical use! I had the first catalpa worm call of the summer today from a new resident of our county. He was horrified as he described a tree in his yard that was being devoured by huge green and black caterpillars. 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 is the larva of the sphinx moth and as it eats the catalpa leaves it can grow to 5-6 inches. Normally, the tree can be completely defoliated without causing harm and new leaves regrow."

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."

The eggs hatch and devour the caterpillar from the inside, being careful not to disrupt any vital functions. Eventually they emerge and spin cocoons of silk in which they transition from larvae to adult. Technically, these insects are parasitoids, since, unlike true parasites, they kill their hosts. This is a failry tight relationship; the wasps could not survive without caterpillars in the same family (although the caterpillar would do just fine without the wasps). Much looser parasitism is shown by ectoparasites, which feed from the outside. Mosquitoes (below right) of course suck blood (only the females at that; they need the protein to make eggs).

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. The southern tree’s flowers are supposed to be generally more purple than the northern’s."

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)."

"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. For me, it is chicken liver, live shad or my favorite recipe: cherry chicken – raw chicken marinated and refrigerated for several days in cherry Kool-Aid. Dough balls of every variety are always popular with anglers, and one woman even tells me that spitting on night crawlers is her go-to bait of choice. 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. Some folks even use opossum, though I am still trying to figure out how this one goes on the hook. Though the most common catfish – channel, blue and flathead catfish – have varied preferences in their natural diets, they are all opportunistic feeders. This means that if bait is enticing enough, they will not discriminate."

"text": "Fishing12 Great Catfish Baitsby Jeff Samsel | March 19th, 2014 254 Comments Nick caught this blue cat on Eagle Mountain Lake in Texas. 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. Dozens of different bait types are commonly used for catfish, with popular picks ranging from hot dog slices to raw bacon to clams and smaller catfish."

The dam is the first navigational hurdle in the Cape Fear River for humans and fish heading upriver from Wilmington. It's a massive structure, built in the early 1900s. The roar of the water cascading across the face of the dam is downright deafening. But the locks seldom operate for commercial traffic anymore. More often, they are used to elevate fish upstream of the obstacle. Blanchard readied his gear then backed his trailer down the long, steep ramp to the water. Launching his boat, he would soon join other anglers fishing for shad, as his lightweight spinning tackle dangling tiny darts and jigs testified.

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."

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."

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.

Update: my cat is getting surgery and isn't allowed to eat after 12AM so i tried to make her eat some food so she won't be hungry, but she wouldn't. Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Survive at what cost? I don't mean to scare you, but a cat which doesn't eat for more than 24 hours risks a condition called Hepatic Lipidosis. And this is life-threatening, no matter what condition the cat is (ie. be it healthy or fat - actually it's worse if the cat is fat) as well as expensive to fix. So if you can coerce your cat to eat something, it's better than nothing. Try wet foods first, then treats. My fussy boy only likes cheese as a treat, and even that not all the time! Good luck with yours."

"text": "127 Comments July 03, 2013How to Get Finicky Cats to Eat Categories: Feline Nutrition If you’ve read The Conscious Cat for any length of time, you know that cats should be eating a species-appropriate diet of raw, grain-free canned or properly balanced home-prepared food. 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. When a previously healthy cats stops eating for more than 24-48 hours, this is cause for concern, and requires a veterinary visit. Cats can develop a condition called hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly."

By: Erika Raines El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011There are many reasons for a dog's stomach to appear bloated. Your dog may actually have a bloated stomach or a bloated abdomen. 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. Researchers are still unsure why deep chested dogs develop this condition. This is an emergency situation which usually requires immediate surgical care. Your dog may also appear to have a bloated abdomen for many reasons that don't involve his or her stomach."

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. I once saw a cat come in an emergency veterinary hospital that had held out for a week without water and probably longer without food. He was like a wizened corpse."

"text": "78 Comments October 17, 2011Kidney Failure and Diet in Cats Categories: Feline Health Guest post by Darren Hawks, DVMRenal insufficiency, or kidney failure, is very common as our cats age. 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)."

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. Also, pain can, unfortunately, be referred to another area of the body that isn't the real sources. It is important to pay close attention to your cat to discover if it is experiencing abdominal pain. The main symptoms to look out for are listed below: Vomiting Diarrhea Loss of appetite Blood in feces Difficulty urinating Change in appearance or posture (e.g. hunched over)Tenderness/pain when touched Weight loss Causes of Painful Abdomen in Cats A number of conditions can bring about abdominal pain in your cat, including: Pancreatitis (inflammation in pancreas)Constipation Cancer Poisoning Ruptured bladder Urinary obstruction Dietary intolerance Kidney stones Ascites (buildup of fluid within abdominal cavity)Bacterial infection (e.g. pyometra, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis)Parasites Intestinal obstruction IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP, a fatal viral infection)Diagnosis of Painful Abdomen in Cats To diagnosis your cat's condition, the veterinarian will want a full medical history and will also conduct a thorough physical examination that may lead to further diagnostic testing.

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."

Full Answer In the wild, cats eat small animals such as mice and robins, carrion from larger animals and the odd bit of grass to medicate their digestive systems. Since cats cannot digest grass, it makes them vomit up the grass and any other bad food they have recently eaten. Many cat kibbles are heavy on carbohydrates, which promote unhealthy weight gain.

"text": "Cat Health What Foods Do Cats Eat?by Bridget Coila Cats require a meat-based diet. 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. Commercial Pet Food Commercial cat foods come in dry, semi-moist and canned varieties. Canned cat foods a minimum of 75 percent water and are primarily made up of meat and meat byproducts."

It’s a shocking thought to most of us that any predator might eat someone’s pet cat—or any domestic feline. 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. In some parts of the world, there are constrictors and other serpents large enough to eat a cat. Parasites such as fleas and ticks also enjoy feeding off of outdoor cats."

Dry food is the equivalent of junk food for cats. 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. Even if your cat drinks water, it won’t be enough if she only eats dry food."

They also like dog and cat food. So, if someone is setting food out for their dog or cat, or even the strays in the neighborhood, they're probably just feeding the skunks. My next door neighbor several years ago was this old lady who would set out a bowl of cat food and water every night for what she thought were stray feral cats in the neighborhood. And, every night, a parade of skunks would come through my yard, under the fence, and into her yard to get the cat food. And, I knew for a fact that there weren't any stray cats around there. But, the old lady wouldn't believe it. She was sure it was cats and not skunks eating the food she set out. I finally just blocked the gap under the fence so they would have to go another way."

Cats are obligate carnivores which means they must have meat in their diet in order to survive. Their primary ancestors lived on a diet of small rodents and birds. Cats require a high protein diet with a variety of different nutrients such as taurine, arginine, calcium, niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and thiamine (vitamin B1), to name a few. Many of these nutrients are found in animals only, making a vegetarian diet impossible for cats. Dietary requirements will change during the different life stages. Young kittens require milk for the first three weeks of life, before slowly beginning to eat solid food, around six to ten weeks of age they will begin to wean."

A feral cat is different from a stray cat. A feral cat is actually a domestic cat that had no contact with any human being for a period of time or it is born or raised without contact with any human. As for a stray cat, it usually refers to a cat that had been made homeless, usually been abandoned by its owner. Adopting a stray cat as a pet will be so much easier than converting a feral cat as one. Though the terms “feral” and “stray” are loosely used to represent each other. Feral cats can live in a wide variety of habitats in the wild. When I say “wild”, I do not really mean forested or areas infested with wildlife. In fact, what I actually meant is “outdoors”."

If left untreated, there is a 90 percent chance that infected cats will die. Owners who think that their cats are displaying signs of distemper should keep the animal away from other cats and consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible. Distemper in cats, also called feline panleukopenia (FPV), is a virus that is highly contagious and potentially life-threatening. The disease affects the blood cells in the intestinal tract, bone marrow, and stem cells. It also causes anemia and other viral and bacterial illnesses. Previously one of the most common causes of death in cats, distemper is now rare due to the effectiveness of vaccines. Kittens, pregnant cats, and cats with immune disorders are most likely to be infected with distemper. Symptoms of Distemper in Cats Cats that have been infected with distemper are likely to display one or more of the following symptoms: Vomiting Diarrhea (sometimes with blood)Dehydration Excessive sneezing Runny nose Discharge from eyes Weight loss Fever Anemia Refusal to eat Hiding Fatigue Lack of coordination Difficulty walking Depression Causes of Distemper in Cats Distemper is caused by contact with infected salvia, nasal discharge, blood, urine, feces, or fleas that have bitten an infected cat."

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. Mixing the food with a little bit of KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) at first helps the kittens get used to solid food. Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now."

Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. Cattle ranchers don't need the rainforest at all. They just need the land that is left behind from where the rainforest was cut down and converted to crop production. Once the land is no longer suitable for growing crops, it is resold to ranchers and put into grass for their cattle. The major reason that rainforest is cut down, then, is for crop production, not for cattle grazing. Cattle grazing is secondary, but gets the most publicity because they're there for much longer than the crops tend to be. Was this answer useful?

In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease. The disease in cattle is called Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy because this form of the disease occurs in cows (therefore, the term bovine), it causes a sponge-like destruction of the brain (therefore, the term spongiform encepholopathy - enceph means brain and pathy means pathology - meaning an abnormality). What are the symptoms of Mad Cow Disease? Symptoms include an excitable or nervous temperament to external stimuli such as touch to the skin, a progressive unsteadiness of gait resulting eventually in the inability to stand up. 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? Currently the most accepted theory is that the causative agent is a modified form of a normal cell surface protein called a prion (pronounced PREE-ON) protein."

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."

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."

"text": "\"Genetic Advantages of Texas Longhorn Cattle By Michael Casey Printable PDF - Genetics Advantages of Texas Longhorn Cattle__________________________________As longhorns migrated throughout the North American continent during the four hundred years between the 16th and mid 19th centuries, they evolved through a process of natural selection. 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. Thus, the female Longhorn \"\"factory\"\"; has as much as twice the production capacity of the \"\"factories\"\" of other breeds."

We just picked up 30 bales of alfalfa for our mule and are due to get 100 bales of grass hay for our horse - a year's supply. And what we're really happy about is the price: After years of watching prices jump, particularly in the last few years thanks to the drought, we're going to be paying less this year. Our alfalfa comes from a rancher and new acquaintance down the road from us in the Falcon area. Our grass hay comes from Tracy Tolle in the Fountain Valley. Last year, we paid $12 a small bale; this year he's charging $10 a bale. \"\" It's the demand,\"\" he says. \"\" It's slow demand this year.

"text": "The Economics of Ranching Ranching is easy � right? All you have to do is watch the cows eat grass and make you money. Wrong! Many people dream of doing it, and if it was that easy everyone would be doing it. So let�s take a look at the economics of raising cattle and see why all ranchers aren�t driving Cadillacs. The first cost involved in raising cows is, of course, the cows themselves. 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. Let�s just take the average cost of an average cow that is bred to calve in the spring and call her $1300."

During the Civil War days, he allowed his calf crop to go unbranded. As a result, by the end of the war, there were thousands of his cattle without brands roaming the Texas country side. In Maverick's area, folks would say, \"\"there is a Maverick\"\", when refering to an unbranded critter. The term was taken up by others, and in a short time it was in general use throughout the cattle range country in Texas\"\". Tending a Longhorn Herd near Deanville Texas on a spur of the Chisolm trail Many other ranchers also neglected their herds because Texas was so isolated from all Confederate states east of the Mississippi River. \"\" Being cut off from the market, the ranchers found themselves with worthless stock. In fact, the value of cattle, in Texas, was so low that a rancher would lose money paying hired help to attend to his herd. Therefore, the ranchers gave very little, if any, attention to their herds. The herds multiplied rapidly and when the war ceased, there were thousands of unbranded cattle over all the range, and no one knew to whom the animals belonged."

"text": "\"Cliven Bundy at his Nevada ranch in 2013. He says he doesn't have to pay fees to graze his cattle on federal land because the land belongs to the state, not the federal government. ( Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)The law was clear: Cliven Bundy's cattle had been grazing on public land — illegally — for years. The Bureau of Land Management said so, and so did the U. S. Department of Justice. The federal courts agreed. But when the BLM tried to enforce the law — by seizing the Nevada rancher's livestock in 2014 — a ragtag band of militiamen rode to Bundy's defense. After an armed standoff in the desert, federal officials released Bundy's cattle and retreated, soundly defeated. Almost two years later, as Bundy's sons Ammon and Ryan and a small group of armed militiamen threaten a similar showdown by refusing to leave an Oregon wildlife refuge, Cliven Bundy still owes more than $1 million in grazing fees. Both cases have raised uncomfortable questions about whether the Bundys are getting off easy and about what happens when demonstrators prevent the government from enforcing its own laws. The standoff in Oregon has drawn the attention of Black Lives Matter activists who have protested law enforcement's regular use of deadly force across the nation, with seemingly little effect on the number of shootings by police."

The move paved the way for controversial state-regulated wolf hunts. Wolf advocates strongly oppose the administrations decision saying the three states in the region, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming need a cohesive management plan that allows for a much larger wolf population. \"\" It was very disappointing when Secretary Salazar in the Obama Administration, signed off on this rushed-through Bush administration delisting package for wolves,\"\" said Doug Honnold, a lawyer with Earthjustice, who is representing conservation groups challenging the government's decision.

Bison are the true athletes of the animal kingdom. A healthy adult cow can broad-jump eight feet from a standing start. Bison are able to run a comfortable 30 miles per hour for 30 miles at a stretch. Calves can keep up with the herd just days after birth. Bison belong to the same family, Bovidae, as cattle, but caring for a bison is less like caring for cattle and more like caring for a horse-rabbit-cow cross! Bison are larger than beef cattle and have 14 pairs of ribs compared to cattle's 13. A mature bull stands six feet tall at the hump, weighs between 1,800 to 2,000 pounds, and can easily clear a 4-foot fence."

Voice procedure communications are intended to maximize clarity of spoken communication and reduce errors in the verbal message by use of an accepted nomenclature. It consists of a signalling protocol such as the use of abbreviated codes like the CB radio ten-code, Q codes in amateur radio and aviation, police codes, etc. and jargon. Some elements of voice procedure are understood across many applications, but significant variations exist. The armed forces of the NATO countries have similar procedures in order to make cooperation easier and pseudo-military organisations often base their procedures on them, so some commonality exists there. The impacts of having radio operators who are not well-trained in standard procedures can cause significant operational problems and delays, as exemplified by one case of amateur radio operators during Hurricane Katrina, in which:\"\"...many of the operators who were deployed had excellent go-kits and technical ability, but were seriously wanting in traffic handling skill.

Please read my disclosure for more info... By Salem Antenna efficiency is also a factor in figuring range. Chuck mentions in the article all CB antennas need to be tuned, and then in the comments expounds that ALL antennas need to be tuned. Natural tuning on any band is two quarter wavelength “elements,” with one being positive and the other negative at various points in time. In a mobile, the vehicle is usually one half of the antenna. In handhelds, the second half is usually the frame of the radio. For base stations, it could be another quarter wave element to make up a dipole antenna, or it could be a “ground plane” of whips or buried wires working with a vertical element. A J-pole is taller, and has both halves of the antenna, as do some end-fed half-wave whip antennas for fiberglass cars and boats. Each natural quarter wave element is roughly the operating frequency divided into 234 feet. A natural UHF element is about 6 inches tall."

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.

"text": "(Photo Source: tvtruckin.com)One of the most famous trucks on television, the rig from the legendary show “Movin’ On”, has been restored to its original glory. 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."

In an effort to discuss journalistic access to the Trump Administration and the U. S. Government, the RTDNA and 60 other journalism organizations are requesting a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence . 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. Several similar letters were sent to the Obama Administration, beginning in 2013, regarding concerns about White House restrictions on photographers, transparency and public information officer restrictions. Three such letters were sent in 2013 and 2014."

Two years later he was sent to London to arrange concerts for the radio network. He also made broadcasts about politics and in September 1938 he reported on the Munich Agreement signed by Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler: \"\"Thousands of people are standing in Whitehall and lining Downing Street, waiting to greet the Prime Minister upon his return from Munich. Certain afternoon papers speculate concerning the possibility of the Prime Minister receiving a knighthood while in office, something that has happened only twice before in British history. Others say that he should be the next recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. \"\" Murrow was a critic of appeasement and on 2nd September, 1939, he argued: \"\"Some people have told me tonight that they believe a big deal is being cooked up which will make Munich and the betrayal of Czechoslovakia look like a pleasant tea party."

A battery generates current by chemical means. A capacitor stores charge on an insulator. Capacitors typically have orders of magnitude less energy density than batteries, but they are getting better. So, it's not practical to run a car on capacitors yet.

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. On the other side of the equation Ham radio operators must pass quite involved tests to prove their technical proficiency and knowledge of radio and electronics theory and practice. Then they must pay yearly fee's to the government for the privilege of using the Ham bands."

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. Sunday night in television areas is murderous on radio shows simply because there is so much good television fare that night."

"text": "FOX announcer misses calls, spars with fans on Twitter Posted by Michael David Smith on October 13, 2014, 1:53 PM ESTGetty Images Mike Goldberg made his debut as an NFL on FOX play-by-play announcer during Sunday’s Lions-Vikings game, and many fans came away unimpressed. When those fans told him so on Twitter, Goldberg did not react well. 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. Obviously, Tate was not the intended receiver as Tate plays for the Lions."

Cell biologists study the cells of living organisms and analyze their physiological properties, structure, life cycle, and interaction with the environment. They study single-celled organisms such as bacteria and multi-cellular organisms including human beings. They conduct research for many different reasons such as to reveal characteristics that lead to human diseases and to improve natural resources. They often complete extensive research to analyze medical treatments, develop theories and cures of diseases, and improve the environment. They are also involved in disease testing and other related tasks. Cell biologists often supervise data experiments and evaluate results with other scientists.

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.

"text": "Science Smell Turns Up in Unexpected Places By ALEX STONE OCT. 13, 2014A team of biologists has found that our skin is bristling with olfactory receptors. 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."

"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."

It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people -- the majority of biologists included -- have a satisfactory grasp of it. One common mistake is believing that species can be arranged on an evolutionary ladder from bacteria through \"\"lower\"\" animals, to \"\"higher\"\" animals and, finally, up to man. Mistakes permeate popular science expositions of evolutionary biology. Mistakes even filter into biology journals and texts. For example, Lodish, et. al., in their cell biology text, proclaim, \"\"It was Charles Darwin's great insight that organisms are all related in a great chain of being...\"\" In fact, the idea of a great chain of being, which traces to Linnaeus, was overturned by Darwin's idea of common descent.

I do not know if it is possible to distinguish an infrequent variation from a somatic mutation when sequencing/genotyping sequencing an individual. The only distinction I have ever seen in variation repositories is that HGMD does not store somatic variations.

Robert Hooke suggested the name ‘cell’ in 1665, from the Latin cella meaning storeroom or chamber, after using a very early microscope to look at a piece of cork. It is also said that he thought that the rectangular chambers looked like the cells in some monasteries. 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). In bacteria chemical reactions take place almost anywhere within the cell. Bacteria contain genetic information in the form of DNA but it is not confined within a sac called a nucleus."

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. Despite nearly 50 years of work, less than 2,000 genes have been mapped."

"text": "If a team of scientists in Philadelphia and New York have their way, using race to categorize groups of people in biological and genetic research will be forever discontinued. 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."

People want to know how to measure EMF. So much so, that they purchase detectors and meters for themselves and attempt to study their own property and homes. It is great to take responsibility for your own concerns! However, there are likely many things that could be confusing your personal assessment. Electro Magnetic EMF Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is organized by frequency. Generally lower frequency radiation is on the left, and higher frequency radiation is on the right. See above graphic. The properties of electromagnetism change at different frequencies, and electric and magnetic fields behave differently along the spectrum. A material that is transparent to visible light can be opaque to infrared light, but then again transparent to radio frequency radiation (e.g., glass)."

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. Another group, headed by Tomoyuki Yamaguchi and Hideyuki Sato of the University of Tokyo, and Hiromitsu Nakauchi of Stanford, has reversed diabetes in mice by inserting pancreas glands composed of mouse cells that were grown in a rat. The Salk team’s report is published in Thursday’s issue of Cell and the Stanford-Tokyo team’s in Wednesday’s issue of Nature."

They study the physical characteristics of animals, animal behaviors, and the impacts humans have on wildlife and natural habitats. Duties of Zoologists and Wildlife Biologists Zoologists and wildlife biologists typically do the following: Develop and conduct experimental studies with animals in controlled or natural surroundings Collect biological data and specimens for analysis Study the characteristics of animals, such as their interactions with other species, reproduction, population dynamics, diseases, and movement patterns Analyze the influence that human activity has on wildlife and their natural habitats Research, initiate, and maintain ways of improving breeding programs that support healthy game animals, endangered species, or other wild populations of land or aquatic life Estimate, monitor, and manage wildlife populations and invasive plants and animals Develop and implement programs to reduce risk to human activities from wildlife and invasive species, such as keeping wildlife from impacting airport operations or livestock and crop production Write research papers, reports, and scholarly articles that explain their findings Give presentations on research findings to academics and the general public Develop conservation plans and make recommendations on wildlife conservation and management issues to policymakers and the general public Zoologists and wildlife biologists perform a variety of scientific tests and experiments. For example, they take blood samples from animals to assess their nutrition levels, check animals for disease and parasites, and tag animals in order to track them. Although the roles and abilities of zoologists and wildlife biologists often overlap, zoologists typically conduct scientific investigations and basic research on particular types of animals, such as birds or amphibians, whereas wildlife biologists are more likely to study specific ecosystems or animal populations, such as a particular at-risk species. Wildlife biologists also do applied work, such as the conservation and management of wildlife populations. Zoologists and wildlife biologists use geographic information systems (GIS), modeling software, and other computer programs to estimate wildlife populations and track the movements of animals. They also use these computer programs to forecast the spread of invasive species or diseases, project changes in the availability of habitat, and assess other potential threats to wildlife."

"text": "U. 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. Structure of Microvilli Microvilli are thin, short projections that stick out from the surface of a cell. Many microvilli often exist right next to each other and look like many fingers protruding from a cell. A microvillus is usually one micrometer in height and 0.1 micrometer in width. The inside of a microvillus contains many parallel rods called actin filaments."

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.

During intracellular digestion, the breaking down of macromolecules takes place within the cell. During extracellular digestion, macromolecules are broken down in places outside the cell (in the extracellular space, in the surrounding area, in the lumen of digestive tracts, etc. ) The evolutionary development of extracellular digestion allowed organisms to benefit from a greater variety of foods. The breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones outside the cell permitted the use of other foods that, due the size of their molecules, could not be interiorized by diffusion, phagocytosis or pinocytosis.3."

Together with several other organs, including the liver and the pancreas, it makes up the digestive system. The total length of the human alimentary canal is between 5 and 6 m, from anus to mouth. 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. These produce waves, of Contraction and relaxation called peristaltic waves, which move food along the alimentary canal and help to mix the contents. Each region of the alimentary canal has it own function and different structure."

"text": "\"Complex Transportation Systems in The Cell Membrane No substance that enters the bloodstream for any reason can enter the cell as soon as it reaches the cell membrane. It is met in different ways, depending on its size, its chemical properties, and whether it is beneficial or harmful. Before it enters the cell, any substance is subjected to strict checks, just as at the customs at a country's borders. If it is decided that a foreign substance poses a threat, it is not granted admittance. Depending on their identity, however, the entry and departure of some substances has been facilitated, just as with citizens returning to their home countries. These substances can enter and leave the cell with ease, without being subjected to security checks. Some substances even enjoy a special right of entry, like citizens bearing special passports. In short, various measures are imposed on substances entering the cell membrane. The most elementary type of cell constitutes a \"\"mechanism\"\" unimaginably more complex than any machine yet thought up, let alone constructed, by man. — Professor William Thorpe In order for a substance to pass through the cell membrane—to combine with the substance of the membrane—, it needs to be fat-soluble."

In this issue, we conclude that discussion. Effectively, this is the heart and soul of our entire series on the digestive tract. Ultimately, everything that happens in the digestive tract is designed to get nutrients into the bloodstream. The final step in the process, absorption, is in many ways the most fascinating part of the discussion. Stomach acid unwinding proteins and pepsin breaking them down -- that's simple stuff. How the body actually recognizes amino acids and peptides and then transports them across the wall of the small intestine, that's remarkably complex and fascinating…and important to understand in terms of optimizing your nutritional uptake and, ultimately, your health. Note: this is a fairly technical discussion. However, my goal is to make sure you understand enough of it so that: You are never overwhelmed by the technical for very long.

They are a type of biological cell that do not have a cell nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. That is, neither the DNA of prokaryotic cells nor any of the sites of metabolic activity within a prokaryotic cell are collected together in a discrete membrane-enclosed area. Instead, everything is openly accessible within the cell e.g. ribosomes are scattered throughout the cytoplasm (not attached to the surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum as in animal cells ).

The DNA in our cells determines what sort of tissue our cells become. Some skin, some muscle, others nerve or even fat. If you think of the analogy of letters in the alphabet being different types of cells then a word would be a tissue, a sentence would be an organ and an story/paragraph would be a system or whole organism.

This cell multiplies almost endlessly, and the resulting cells become differentiated to an incredible degree. All the cells of the body become specialized in form and function with the exception of the sex cells, which are set aside at a very early stage of development for the continuance of the race.

Many of the figures are taken from different textbooks of biochemestry (e.g. Lehninger’s ‘ Principles of Biochemistry (5th edition) ‘) or cell biology (e.g. Albert’s ‘ Molecular Biology of the Cell ‘ or Lodish’s ‘ Molecular Cell Biology ‘). 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. What is the significance of that? – it mainly has to do with the ability of carbon to form four chemical (covalent) bonds."

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.

Another person responded and said that a bacteria is not going to evolve into something that isn't a bacteria. So, if Evolution created single celled organisms and then multi-celled organisms how might that change have happened?

Describe Linnaean taxonomy and binomial nomenclature. Introduction Billions of years of evolution on Earth have resulted in a huge variety of different types of organisms. For more than two thousand years, humans have been trying to organize this great diversity of life. The classification system introduced by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in the early 1700s has been the most widely used classification for almost 300 years. Taxonomy Scientific classification is a method by which biologists organize living things into groups. It is also called taxonomy. Groups of organisms in taxonomy are called taxa (singular, taxon). You may already be familiar with commonly used taxa, such as the kingdom and species. A kingdom is a major grouping of organisms, such as plants or animals."

What Is the Role of DNA Polymerase in DNA Replication? Credit: Science Photo Library - SCIEPRO Brand X Pictures Getty Images Full Answer Every living creature relies on cell division for its existence. Cell division is essential for the organism to grow and function. In order for cell division to occur, new cells need to receive the genetic information contained in the DNA. Because DNA molecules are too large to fit inside the cells, chromosomes ensure that the DNA makes it to the cells by holding them in and keeping them attached to proteins known as histones."

As Bacteria are living organisms, then they must possess these properties as well. What are Bacteria? We have learned that Biology can be illustrated as a tree of life: In this tree of life, one of the basal branches evolves into a group of organisms that is part of Domain Prokarya, and is the current extant Kingdom Bacteria. Eubacteria is a synonym used by some authors for the kingdom of the bacteria. Number of Kingdoms2 3 5 6 8Plantae Monera Monera Bacteria Bacteria Plantae Monera Monera Archaea Archaea As you may recall, bacteria were first part of Kingdom Plantae (green) when there were only two kingdoms. The organisms had cell walls at least and so that was enough for them to end up in that kingdom. Once we understood that they lack a nucleus or chloroplast or mitochondrion, the bacteria needed to be moved into a new kingdom... Monera (yellow) was created for them in the 3 to 5 kingdom era. The Archaea were split out from Monera in the transition to 6 kingdoms, so Monera was renamed Bacteria (or Eubacteria). Bacteria are found as fossils in rocks dating to 3.5 billion years before present time, so these are the most ancient forms of life that are known."

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."

A: Quick Answer The main purpose of mitosis is to promote growth and facilitate cell repair while the primary role of meiosis is to produce gametes, which include sperm and eggs. Mitosis and meiosis are both involved in the process of reproduction: these biological functions involve cell division and replication, but perform their tasks in different ways. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis? What Are the Main Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis? What Occurs in Meiosis but Not Mitosis? Full Answer Mitosis and meiosis are specialized types of cell division, but take place in different locations. 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. Mitosis is triggered by the coupling of haploid sperm with a haploid egg; this coupling leads to fertilization. After being fertilized, eggs divide in half, then divide again."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology How does cell division in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?need as much as information as possible Follow 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Plants do not have centrioles just centrosomes. 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."

This cell couldn't move, think, see, or do things like laugh and talk. But the one thing it could do, and do very well, was divide—and divide it did. The lone cell became two, and then four, then eight and so on, in time becoming the amazing person that is you. Think of how far you've come. You can laugh at a joke, stand on your head, read a book, eat an ice cream cone, hear a symphony, and do countless other things. In this chapter, we will discuss how cells divide, a topic that has fascinated scientists since they first observed it through a microscope more than 100 years ago. Scientists can actually watch cells divide under the microscope, and they have been able to figure out the rules of division by carefully observing the process, much as someone could gradually learn the rules of a game like football or chess by watching it played repeatedly. But you don't need your own microscope to see cells dividing."

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.

We all want the ultimate chill blasting out of our vents; especially when it comes to surviving the hot concrete jungle. When the A/C system kicks in on those hot, sweaty days, that’s something we all relish. But, believe it or not, there’s no ice machine inside (but at one time ice was used to cool people’s rides down). In fact, the cold air generated by your A/C system is actually hot air with hot gases removed during a multi-step process. It really is thermodynamics but we’re not gonna go there. The Cliff’s note version is simply about changes in pressure causing changes in temperature. Turn the A/C on and the compressor compresses the system’s refrigerant (Freon) raising its temperature. It loses heat as it flows through the condenser (that second radiator looking thing in front of the radiator). It passes through the receiver/dryer where contaminants and moisture are removed, and then on to the expansion valve/accumulator where the refrigerant is slowed down further, causing it to lose pressure and temperature before it gets to the evaporator."

Its molecule formula is O 3. Ozone is formed when the sunlight hits oxygen molecules (O 2) and breaks them up into individual atoms. These individual atoms then join up with O 2 molecules and make O 3, or ozone. What is the ozone layer? Way up high in the Earth's atmosphere, called the stratosphere, there is a fairly high concentration of ozone molecules that are formed when the sun hits oxygen molecules. This part of the atmosphere is called the ozone layer. Ozone is formed in the atmosphere from oxygen molecules Why is the ozone layer important?

Therefore, it takes longer to reach a lower temperature. Set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature and the unit will turn off when it gets there. If you set it at a lower temperature, it will go at the same rate, but just keep chugging past until you're freezing or else you turn it off manually. Analogously, if you want to drive from New York to Kansas City, setting your GPS to Los Angeles will not give your car any more power and won't get you to Kansas City any faster. The only thing it will do is make it more difficult to recognize when you've reached your destination.37.4k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

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."

Combivent Inhalation Aerosol inhalers are being phased out because they contain chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which are substances that harm the environment because they decrease the protective ozone layer above the Earth. Under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the United States and other participating countries promised to make it illegal to make or sell substances that decrease the ozone layer, including CFCs, after certain dates. Combivent Inhalation Aerosol uses CFCs as propellants (spray) to move the medicine out of the inhaler so patients can breathe the medicine into their lungs.2. When will Combivent Inhalation Aerosol inhalers be gone? Combivent Inhalation Aerosol inhalers cannot be made or sold after December 31, 2013. However, the manufacturer of the product, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, reports that Combivent Inhalation Aerosol will be discontinued in July 2013.3. Why is Combivent Inhalation Aerosol being removed from the market early? The manufacturer, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, developed an alternative product, Combivent Respimat, and is transitioning patients early to ensure that the phase out is completed ahead of the December 31, 2013 date."

Web MD explains how HFA inhalers differ from CFC inhalers and how to make the changeover easier. 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. Albuterol is dispensed by both CFC and HFA inhalers in metered doses. \"\" Before, I felt like the medication worked but that most of it ended up in the back of my throat."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology Why is CFCs used in refrigerators.? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Actually new refrigerators do not use CFCs but other compounds that do not have chlorine. 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. It wasn't until much later that it was discovered that this inertness was also a problem."

"text": "\"Depletion of the Ozone Layer Last updated January 7, 2018 5:44:06 PM PST Share Table of contents The earth's stratospheric ozone layer plays a critical role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. 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. Figure : These images from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) show the progressive depletion of ozone over Antarctica from 1979 to 1999.

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. ("

Many species of crustaceans, insects, cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, octopuses and their relatives), frogs, lizards and fish can change colour. They all have one thing in common: they are ectotherms (animals that cannot generate their own body heat in the same way as mammals and birds) and only ectotherms have the specialised cells that enable colour change.

A: Quick Answer Bearded dragons are omnivorous and thrive on a diet of insects with a supplement of leafy greens and fruits such as apples, blueberries, cantaloupe, papaya and mango. Fruits are a wonderful treat for bearded dragons but should make up no more of 10 percent of their normal, varied diet, according to Paw Nation. Eating a variety of foods allows bearded dragons' stomachs to function properly and encourages healthy digestion. Continue Reading Keep Learning Can Bearded Dragons Eat Broccoli?

The lizard in the picture above is easily recognized as a Chameleon. Only Chameleon's have those crazy bulging eyes that swivel around in all directions, and those curious feet. Lizard classification is part of a natural classifying system used by taxonomists. This classification system was devised by Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in the late eighteenth century. He is credited for the beginnings of this system as a way of arranging plants and animals into groups based on differences and similarities between them. Linnaeus is often called the 'Father of Taxonomy'. The system currently used by taxonomists is called the Linnaean taxonomic system, in his honor. The Linnaean classification system has a hierarchy of seven main taxonomic ranks, defined by the international nomenclature codes."

"text": "Four-Horned Chameleons By Linda J. 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. Four-horned chameleons have very exacting requirements and are recommended only for experienced chameleon owners."

The Chameleons' closest relatives are ...the iguanas and dragon lizards (Agamidae). In fact, there are iguanas living in Americas called false chameleons, that resemble a lot the real chameleons of the Old World, and even have the ability of changing their color. The oldest known chameleon is the Mimeosaurus, from the Upper Cretaceous (during the dinosaur times) of Mongolia. It already had a high skull with a marked helmet. Today, the 156 species of chameleon species are concentrated in Africa, Madagascar and neighboring areas. Just one species reaches southern Europe and another one India.2. Unlike most other lizards, chameleons do not creep, but walk slowly, moving just one limb at a time. Most are arboreal and have opposable digits, two against three (like in koala). On thick branches, chameleons use their claws for climbing."

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 ). The name \"\"chameleon\"\" means \"\"earth lion\"\" and is derived from the Greek words chamai (on the ground, on the earth) and leon (lion).

Although sharing the same habitat, tropical lizards species can vary in size, habits and colors. Iguanas, chameleons, geckos, spectacled lizards, dragon lizards and the Komodo dragon are some types of tropical lizards. Iguanas Iguanas are lizards part of the family Iguanidae, only found in tropical areas. The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is a common species, native to Central and South America and popular as a pet. The lesser Antillean iguana (Iguana delicatissima), which is vulnerable to extinction due to habitat destruction and hybridization with the green iguana, is another species found in the Caribbean. Chameleons Part of the family Chamaeleonidae, chameleons feature distinct zygodactylous feet, with two toes forward and two back, like parrots, long tongues and eyes that can move independently from each other. However, their ability to change their skin color is the best known characteristic of these lizards. Most of the 160 species of chameleons live in tropical areas.

Size: Veiled chameleon males can reach 18 to 24 inches in total length (about 12 inches snout to vent length plus their tail), while females tend to be quite a bit smaller at 10 to 13 inches (just 4 to 6 inches in snout to vent length plus their tail). Appearance The veiled chameleon has a large, tall casque, or helmet-like structure on the top of their head. It is present in both males and females, though it is larger in males and it aids in steering water that falls onto their heads into their mouths. Their bodies are banded in shades of green, yellow and brown which adjust to varying shades. Temperament Veiled chameleons are territorial and aggressive to other chameleons so they should always be housed individually. While they are usually quite docile towards people, regular handling tends to be stressful. Therefore, along with other chameleons, they are pets that are better suited be being watched rather than handled. Veiled chameleons are typically hardy chameleons.

There are thousands of species that live in trees, including monkeys, koalas, possums, sloths, various rodents, parrots, chameleons, geckos, tree snakes and a variety of insects. Many animals have evolved special adaptations to aid their arboreal lifestyles. Limbs and Tails Many arboreal animals have elongated limbs that allow them to swing efficiently from branch to branch. Many monkey species show this anatomical adaptation. Several creatures have long tails -- called prehensile tails -- that can grasp branches and act as an extra limb. 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."

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. Specifically, they need it to manufacture and utilize vitamin D3 within their bodies."

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. \"\""

"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. MOLLUSCSMadagascar may have as many as 4,000 species of land snail, with the highest concentration unsurprisingly in the humid tropics. The composition of the island's gastropod fauna is very different from that of the African mainland. Snails may represent an important group for studying ecosystem health, but the molluscan fauna of Madagascar is comparatively little-studied."

A chameleon is one of the most popular types of exotic animals kept as a pet and are commonly found in most local pet stores. Chameleons are well known for its ability to change color, which can act as a defense mechanism or may even happen if they were to become stressed or frightened. Another feature that makes chameleons unique is the ability to move its eyes separately.“ Chameleon ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by abolotnov How much is it? On average, a chameleon can range anywhere from $40 to as much as $600. The cost of a chameleon will depend on the type, age, gender, quality and where it’s purchased from. At Petsmart, for instance, the veiled chameleon retails for about $80. Refer to our table below to see what some of the popular species cost."

However, this does not mean that all hot regions are natural homes to chameleons. Australia, North and South America have no native chameleons. Madagascar’s 50 Percent The island of Madagascar is home to around 50 percent of the world’s chameleons. One hundred fifty species of chameleon inhabit the island, which has a diverse range of habitats, including desert and rainforest. Most of the island’s chameleons are forest floor dwellers, as opposed to arboreal. Since the chameleon is incapable of flight, Madagascar’s native chameleons are physically isolated from the rest of the world’s chameleon population. This means that they have evolved independently from other species. Africa’s Adaptive Chameleons Africa’s mainland has the second largest distribution of chameleons in the world."

There are around 160 species of chameleons which can be found mostly on the Madagascar (half of all species live there), in the Africa, southern Europe, south Asia and Sri Lanka. 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. Chameleons also use their long tail when moving in the trees to grab a branch and secure their position (to accomplish balance when necessary)."

Answer by Leahlove916 Confidence votes 236Chameleons are insectivorous and will do quite well with the insects that you should be able to purchase at your local pet store. 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."

The Greeks and Egyptians associated good fortune and wisdom with these little reptiles and the Egyptian hieroglyphic for 'Abundance' and 'Wealth' is a symbol that bears a striking resemblance to a lizard. In certain parts of West Africa, the image of lizards are carved into the walls of houses to ward off evil spirits and bring peace and happiness to the household.

Captive bred veiled chameleon babies can be seen everywhere on the reptile market today, even in pet shops, and wholesale for anywhere from $25-50 depending on the age of the animal. 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. Just because the animal is sexually mature at this age does not mean she must be bred. It has been stated in the literature that female veiled chameleons who are not bred will die egg bound carrying infertile eggs."

Lizards live in diverse environments and are the most geographically widespread of the reptiles. That makes them the largest group of reptiles with about 5000 species. They have walked the earth for some 200 million years. Reptiles have the following physical features: they have vertebrate, lungs, and scales or plates. They are cold-blooded, getting all of their heating from the environment (the sun) which can be deadly during cold spells. What could be good about that?

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.

The findings, described in the journal Nature Communications, showcase the remarkable abilities of these colorful creatures in a whole new light. The male panther chameleon ( Furcifer pardalis) of Madagascar is an extremely talented shade-shifter. His thick-striped body can go from a blue-green palette to a fiery yellow-red-orange in a matter of minutes, if he wants to show off to an interesting lady lizard or a competing male. When excited, their skin goes through some very specific color switches, the study authors wrote: Green goes to yellow or orange; blue patches turn whitish; and red becomes brighter and more uniform. Still, they’re kind of hard to actually find in the wild – their resting color scheme makes for remarkably effective camouflage. “I assure you: In Madagascar, they are really difficult to spot,” said study coauthor Michel Milinkovitch, a biophysicist at the University of Geneva.

Young and tender chayote can be served finely sliced raw in salads, or it can be served puréed, or diced in soups or stews, or sautéed, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, deep-fried, and baked. Chayote—pronounced chi-OH-tay—got its start in the tropics and semi-tropics of Central America but grows in temperate regions where the weather remains mild and warm in the fall and winter. Its peak harvest season is September through May. The mild flavor of chayote allows it to be served alone with just butter or cream or to be spiced up with assertive seasonings such as lime juice, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Add sugar or brown sugar and chayote can be served as a dessert. Try the mild flavor of chayote first like you would cucumber or zucchini. Serve it puréed in cream, steamed and sliced in a light salad, or sautéed with butter and herbs to appreciate its delicacy. But the looks of chayote are not delicate at all. Chayote has a thin, furrowed skin that can be covered with small hair-like spines. Chayote is an annual gourd-like vegetable that grows on a vine to about the size and shape of a pear–3 to 8 inches (7.5-20 cm) long."

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."

"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.

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."

Some folks call these vegetable pears or chayote squash, but here in New Orleans, we just call em' mella-ton and eat 'em a lot. The most popular style is stuffed or in a dressing, but you can use them in any recipe the way you might use a regular summer squash. They are really interesting to eat, almost like a watery artichoke heart. I've also recently learned that these are easy to grow (zone 9 and up). I plan on having lots of them trellised in my garden next spring. You can find information on how to grow 'em here and here (with cool pictures). What You Need:4 medium/large mirlitons (buy them when they're hard, with no blemishes)several tablespoons of olive oil or Earth Balance1 medium onion1 stalk celery1/3 cup bell pepper, chopped onion, celery and bell pepper are referred to as \"\"the trinity\"\" in New Orleans cookin'.4 cloves garlic, chopped1 teaspoon salt free creole seasoning, plus more to taste1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped1 heaping tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped2 cups of ham style seitan, cubed1 package of weird-ass vegan shrimp *, coarsely chopped1 1/2 cups cornbread crumbs plus a smidg mo' (make some the day before. mmm. ) 1-2 tablespoons tofutti cream cheezesalt, to tastea dash of sweet paprika What You Do: Cut each mirliton in half lengthwise, so that you get wide sides.

"text": "\"General Discussion Chayote 45Difficulty Handling Chayoteswumanchild Jul 8, 2002 12:52 PMWas trying to cook chayotes for the first time last night and began peeling this green veggie-fruit. 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 cooked chayotes by the way were delicious and homey."

"text": "How To Prepare Chayoteby Lars Kristian Sorensen | Jul 31, 2012Chayote (chi-OH-tay) is a light green, somewhat pear shaped member of the cucurbitaceous family, that originates from Mexico. 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."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-chayote.htm\nWhat is Chayote?",
"text": "Chayote is a tropical trailing vine which produces fruits, which are treated more like vegetables than true fruits. 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."

Having lived here for just a year and a half, I have been able to sample a lot of local cuisine, but I am far from an expert. 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. The name originates from their specific dialect of Spanish and how they’ve always added a -tico or -tica to the end of words, as in ‘little’ or ‘small’."

They grow on a vine that can grow up to 30 feet long (9 metres.) The rough leaves can grow up to 8 inches wide (20 cm.) The vine produces small, greenish white, male and female blossoms. After blossoming, the vine needs at least 12 hours of sunlight a day to produce fruit. The vine is a perennial, and will bear fruit for 3 to 5 years. To grow a Chayote vine, you can't just plant a seed: you need to plant an entire fruit to give the seed the energy it needs to grow. Chayote has pale green or greenish-white skin, depending on the variety."

The güisquil, Sechium educe, is usually the dark green pear squash, the lighter yellowish pear squash is known perulero in Guatemala. 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. The tubers of the plant are eaten like potatoes and other root vegetables, while the shoots and leaves are often consumed in salads and stir fries. Ichintal is the name for the pear squash root we use in Guatemala."

However, apparently if I get a Mechanical engineering degree which is a lot broader, it can also be used to transition into petroleum engineering? How correct is this exactly?

Engineering is an application of mathematics, physics and other scientific principles to real world problems. 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. Some areas require more mathematics or physics courses, and all have different upper-division course offerings."

"text": "Fixing Your Blown or Leaking Head Gasket in One Affordable Easy Step Posted on March 18th, 2016 by Jeff Your Options for Fixing a Blown Head Gasket Your car’s head gasket is a simple piece of metal coated in a rubber-like material, and yet head gasket failure is one of the single most crippling ailments an engine can face. 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."

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."

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?

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."

"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."

"text": "\"Ask a Cop: No-knock search warrants By Officer Anonymous | Posted Feb 9th, 2012 @ 10:11pm45 SALT LAKE CITY -- I was asked to write about a first- person acount of a no-knock search warrant. Many officers participate in this column, and I have asked a colleague of mine to assist me in this article. He has participated in many no-knock search warrants, and I felt he was the best person to convey this information. I have assisted in many search warrants, but they have been either knock and announce or we have been sitting on the residence, waiting for the warrant to be completed. I did not want to make up a story and would feel it would be a disservice to the readers of this article and the brave men who take on the task of serving high-hazard warrants if I did. 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. Probable Cause If you listen to those who complain about police use of search warrants, you would believe they are easy to obtain and have very little judicial review. Let me tell you this, search warrants are easy to get if you have done your job well and you have written a quality search warrant that is factual."

Sergeant ( abbreviated to Sgt and capitalized when used as a named person's title) is a rank in many uniformed organizations, principally military and policing forces. The alternate spelling, 'serjeant', is used in The Rifles and other units that draw their heritage from the British Light Infantry. Its origin is the Latin serviens, \"\"one who serves\"\", through the French term sergent. The term \"\"sergeant\"\" refers to a non-commissioned officer placed above the rank of a corporal and a police officer immediately below a lieutenant or, in the UK below an inspector. [ 1] [2] In most armies the rank of sergeant corresponds to command of a squad (or section ). In Commonwealth armies, it is a more senior rank, corresponding roughly to a platoon second-in-command.

Warrant officers are highly skilled, single-track specialty officers, and while the ranks are authorized by Congress, each branch of the uniformed services selects, manages, and uses warrant officers in slightly different ways. For appointment to warrant officer one (W‑1), a warrant is approved by the secretary of the respective service. For chief warrant officer ranks (W‑2 to W‑5), warrant officers are commissioned by the President of the United States and take the same oath as regular commissioned officers (O‑1 to O‑10).

Marine Corps receive compensation according to military pay charts determined by Congress. Similar to other branches of the U. S. Armed Forces, basic pay increases as you rise in rank and accumulate years of service. Marines also receive allowances for food, housing, clothing and missions that separate them from their family. Lower Enlisted Ranks Privates in the Marines make $1,531 per month; privates first class receive a monthly pay of $1,716.90 and lance corporals earn between $1,805.40 and $2,034.90 every month. Marine corporals receive from $1,999.50 to $2,427.30 per month and sergeants make $2,191 to $3,094.80. Staff sergeants earn from $2,380.80 to $3,687.30 on a monthly basis while gunnery sergeants make between $2,752.50 and $4,946.70. Upper Enlisted Ranks Two different high-ranking enlisted positions with the Marine Corps share the same E-8 pay grade. Master sergeants and first sergeants require more experience than other enlisted members of the Marines. As a result, their pay scale begins at the eighth year of service, resulting in a compressed monthly pay range between $3,959.40 and $5,647.20."

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. The chief said the officers were on a standby call when all parties involved started arguing."

Navy rank is a badge of leadership. Responsibility for personnel, equipment, and mission grows with each increase in rank. Do not confuse rank with pay grades, such as E-1, W-2 and O-5. Pay grades are administrative classifications used primarily to standardize compensation across the military services. The \"\"E\"\" in E-1 stands for \"\"enlisted\"\" while the \"\"1\"\" indicates the pay grade for that position. The other pay categories are \"\"W\"\" for warrant officers and \"\"O\"\" for commissioned officers. Some enlisted pay grades have two ranks.

[ nb 1] Most law enforcement is carried out by police officers serving in regional police services (known as territorial police forces) within one of those jurisdictions. These regional services are complemented by UK-wide agencies, such as the National Crime Agency, and specialist units which are part of certain territorial police forces, such as the Specialist Operations directorate of the Metropolitan Police. Police officers are granted certain powers to enable them to execute their duties. Their primary duties are the protection of life and property, preservation of the peace, and prevention and detection of criminal offences. [ 1] In the British model of policing, officers exercise their powers to police with the implicit consent of the public. \"\" Policing by consent\"\" is the phrase used to describe this. It expresses that the legitimacy of policing in the eyes of the public is based upon a general consensus of support that follows from transparency about their powers, their integrity in exercising those powers and their accountability for doing so.

O. and big navy, but are E-3 or below, are you able to punish someone above you under this article due to the fact you are in a position of authority? 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. Reply Red July 18th, 2013 on 12:51 pm As enlisted you cannot “punish” anybody. Your best course of action is to take it up YOUR chain of command.

Navy SEALS are an elite navy division specializing in direct action small-scale warfare, combat reconnaissance, counterterrorism and foreign internal defense. Like all U. S. military personnel, Navy SEALS receive basic wages that are identical for every service branch. 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. The following are monthly pay scales for soldiers with less than three years of service at the given rank, beginning with sailors at rank E-2.

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. Thereafter, the only way to receive a salary increase is to advance to the next rank."

Non-commissioned officers, in the English-speaking world, usually obtain their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted ranks.

"text": "What are common treatments for Down syndrome? 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’s hard to answer, because I’ve suffered with palpitations and chest pain for years, but they didn’t concern any of the cardiologists I saw. ”In fact, Alicia Burns’ doctors didn’t get concerned for 14 years, despite many consultations and tests for her distressing and ongoing symptoms. Alicia, now a 34-year old mother of five children, tells the harrowing story of the moment she first heard the words Brugada syndrome . Last December, she’d been to see a cardiologist called a cardiacelectrophysiologist (EP) – an expert in heart rhythm disorders – who mentioned for the first time the deadly heart condition called Brugadasyndrome: “It’s very rare, and there is no cure”. Her EP ordered a raft of tests, including genetic testing. A month later, Aliciahad to go back to get the results of all the testing:“The doctor stated my name and date of birth to confirm that the genetic testing results were mine, and I confirmed it. “He said: ‘Then these are your results."

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. In the vast majority of cases, Down's syndrome is not hereditary."

Children who have Down syndrome tend to have certain features, such as a flat face and a short neck. They also have some degree of intellectual disability. This varies from person to person. But in most cases it is mild to moderate. Down syndrome is a lifelong condition. But with care and support, children who have Down syndrome can grow up to have healthy, happy, productive lives.

Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Types Outlook Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused when an error in cell division results in an extra 21st chromosome. 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.

I was diagnosed in 1996 and began taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at that time. I have been on it ever since and currently inject 1cc of testosterone intermuscular (IM) once every 12 days. This method has worked well for me. As of July 2006, I am married, have two step-children, have been working as a software quality assurance engineer for the past ten years and am loving life.

If My name is Stefan, I was diagnosed with Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) in February 1996 at the age of 25. Being diagnosed with KS has been, for the most part, a big sigh of relief after a life of frustrations.

"text": "Home > Life stages > Articles > Ageing And Its Consequences For People With Down's Syndrome Ageing And Its Consequences For People With Down's Syndrome Ageing and the problems of old age are particularly relevant to people with Down's syndrome, as some of these age-related problems develop earlier in life than would normally be the case. 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."

"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."

"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. Developmental issues in sexuality- positive self concept-intimacy and physical closeness- modesty and privacy- masturbation- personal safety Ref: Haka-Ikse et al, 1993; Grant, 1995."

Find out here how Down Syndrome may affect a child’s academic performance, and get tips and strategies for meeting these children's special needs. An Extra Chromosome 21Between 1999 and 2002, 11.8 children per 100,000 live births in the United States had Down syndrome, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; this number has increased by 24.2 percent from 1979 to 1983, in which the prevalence was 9.5 children per 100,000 live births. 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. Overviews on Down Syndrome So how much do you know about Down syndrome? Having some knowledge on the disorder can help teachers who work with children with Down syndrome. These articles separate fact from fiction about the disorder, provide further information on physical symptoms, and discuss a dual diagnosis that some children have."

"text": "What is Down Syndrome? 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. How Common is Down Syndrome? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one in every 700 babies in the United States is born with Down syndrome, making Down syndrome the most common chromosomal condition. About 6,000 babies with Down syndrome are born in the United States each year."

Many children with a chromosomal abnormality have mental and/or physical birth defects. Understanding what chromosomes are may make it easier to understand the wide range of problems chromosomal abnormalities can cause. Sometimes a baby can be born with too many or too few chromosomes, or with one or more chromosomes that are missing a piece or are rearranged. These errors in the number or structure of chromosomes can cause a wide variety of birth defects ranging from mild to severe. Some chromosomal abnormalities result in miscarriage or stillbirth. What causes chromosomal abnormalities? Chromosomal abnormalities usually result from an error that occurred when an egg or sperm cell was developing."

Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Types Outlook Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused when an error in cell division results in an extra 21st chromosome. 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.

Share: FULL STORYShelley Velleman, chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, lectures to students in her anatomy and physiology course about the different facial muscles of individuals with Down syndrome. 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. \"\""

It was first described in 1866 and is named after John Langdon Down, the doctor who first identified the syndrome. The cause of Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, was discovered in 1959. In the United States, Down syndrome occurs in 1 of every 800 infants with many as 6,000 children born with Down syndrome each year. It is estimated that about 85% of infants with Down syndrome survive one year and 50% of those will live longer than 50 years. According to the National Down Syndrome Society, there are more than 350,000 people living with Down syndrome in the United States. What causes Down Syndrome? Down syndrome can be caused by one of three types of abnormal cell division involving chromosome 21. The three genetic variations include: Trisomy 21 – More than 90% of Down syndrome cases are caused by trisomy 21. An extra chromosome (chromosome 21) originates in the development of either the sperm or the egg."

"text": "Diagnosis The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering the option of screening tests and diagnostic tests for Down syndrome to all pregnant women, regardless of age. 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. Screening tests include the first trimester combined test and the integrated screening test. The first trimester combined test The first trimester combined test, which is done in two steps, includes: Blood test."
