"text": "Science Physics Electricity Q: What Does the Electrical Force Between Two Charged Objects Depend On? A: Quick Answer The electric force between two charged objects depends on the attraction between the relative abundance of electrons in one object and protons in the other, or on the repulsion of an overabundance of like particles in both. Oftentimes, this force arises from the transfer of electrons from one of the objects to another. A balloon attracting hair after they're rubbed together is one example, as is the formation of salt.

Full Answer The electric force is vastly important and is an essential component in the behavior and existence of matter, according to the Hyper Physics site by Georgia State University. Electrons are held in their orbits around atoms by the electric force between them and the protons in the nucleus. In every case where electric charges, and thus electric forces, arise, there are unequal numbers of electrons and protons in an object or in one region of an object."

AND... I wanted to ask what the difference is between a magnetic force and a gravitational force. If there’s no difference, I’d like to know how come the Earth’s gravitational pull is able to attract non - magnetic materials e.g human beings, yet no matter how much powerfull a magnet is it can never attract non - magnetic (non- ferrous) material. - curious starvos (age 12) Kenya A: Chris & Starvos - Since your questions are roughly the same, I'll answer them both at once. Gravity and magnetism are not the same thing. In fact, they are completely separate forces. Gravity is a force that acts between any two objects with mass. No matter what they are made of, both objects get pulled towards each other just because they have mass. The reason it seems like gravity only pulls you towards the earth is because the earth is so big that the pull from you on it isn't enough to do much to its motion. Unlike gravity, which occurs between any objects, magnetism depends on specific properties of objects."

Charge, charge and distance. Every electrical interaction involves a force that highlights the importance of these three variables. Whether it is a plastic golf tube attracting paper bits, two like-charged balloons repelling or a charged Styrofoam plate interacting with electrons in a piece of aluminum, there is always two charges and a distance between them as the three critical variables that influence the strength of the interaction. In this section of Lesson 3, we will explore the importance of these three variables. Force as a Vector Quantity The electrical force, like all forces, is typically expressed using the unit Newton. Being a force, the strength of the electrical interaction is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the electrical force is dependent upon whether the charged objects are charged with like charge or opposite charge and upon their spatial orientation. By knowing the type of charge on the two objects, the direction of the force on either one of them can be determined with a little reasoning. In the diagram below, objects A and B have like charge causing them to repel each other."

This is the most well-known form of membrane potential; in many cases the term \"\"membrane potential\"\" refers to the transmembrane potential.dipole potentialsurface potential Differences in the concentrations of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Typical values of membrane potential are in the range –40 m V to –70 m V. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K + ), which is at a high concentration inside and a low concentration outside the membrane. Sodium (Na +) and chloride (Cl −) ions are at high concentrations in the extracellular region, and low concentrations in the intracellular regions. These concentration gradients provide the potential energy to drive the formation of the membrane potential. This voltage is established when the membrane has permeability to one or more ions. In the simplest case, illustrated here, if the membrane is selectively permeable to potassium, these positively charged ions can diffuse down the concentration gradient to the outside of the cell, leaving behind uncompensated negative charges. This separation of charges is what causes the membrane potential. Note that the system as a whole is electro-neutral. The uncompensated positive charges outside the cell, and the uncompensated negative charges inside the cell, physically line up on the membrane surface and attract each other across the lipid bilayer."

"text": "Electric vs. Magnetic Forces Electric and magnetic forces both affect the trajectory of charged particles, but in qualitatively different ways. Learning Objectives Compare the effects of the electric and the magnetic fields on the charged particle Key Takeaways Key Points The force on a charged particle due to an electric field is directed parallel to the electric field vector in the case of a positive charge, and anti-parallel in the case of a negative charge. It does not depend on the velocity of the particle. In contrast, the magnetic force on a charge particle is orthogonal to the magnetic field vector, and depends on the velocity of the particle. The right hand rule can be used to determine the direction of the force. An electric field may do work on a charged particle, while a magnetic field does no work. The Lorentz force is the combination of the electric and magnetic force, which are often considered together for practical applications. Electric field lines are generated on positive charges and terminate on negative ones. The field lines of an isolated charge are directly radially outward. The electric field is tangent to these lines."

[ 1] [2]Common types of potential energy include the gravitational potential energy of an object that depends on its mass and its distance from the center of mass of another object, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field. The unit for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule, which has the symbol J. The term potential energy was introduced by the 19th century Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine, [3] [4] although it has links to Greek philosopher Aristotle 's concept of potentiality. Potential energy is associated with forces that act on a body in a way that the total work done by these forces on the body depends only on the initial and final positions of the body in space. These forces, that are called conservative forces, can be represented at every point in space by vectors expressed as gradients of a certain scalar function called potential. Since the work of potential forces acting on a body that moves from a start to an end position is determined only by these two positions, and does not depend on the trajectory of the body, there is a function known as potential or potential energy that can be evaluated at the two positions to determine this work.

Changing (time varying) and fields generate a and respectively. And lastly, if the electric or magnetic field is static (constant in time), it exists by itself.

Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are all different states of matter. Each state has its own physical traits and ways of interacting with the world of chemistry. Depending on your definitions, there can be over a dozen states of matter. Each of these states is also known as a phase. Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another when specific physical conditions are present. One example is temperature. When the temperature of a system goes up, the matter in the system becomes more excited and active. Scientists say that it moves to a higher energy state. Generally, as the temperature rises, matter moves to a more active state."

Thomson, 1856-1940; see photo at the Science Museum, London) is widely recognized as the discoverer of the electron. Thomson was the Cavendish professor of Experimental Physics at Cambridge University and director of its Cavendish Laboratory from 1884 until 1919. For much of his career, Thomson worked on various aspects of the conduction of electricity through gases. In 1897 he reported that \"\"cathode rays\"\" were actually negatively charged particles in motion; he argued that the charged particles weighed much less than the lightest atom and were in fact constituents of atoms [Thomson 1897a, 1897b ]. In 1899, he measured the charge of the particles, and speculated on how they were assembled into atoms [ Thomson 1899 ]. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1906 for this work, and in 1908 he was knighted. His Nobel lecture is reproduced below. The case of the electron raises several interesting points about the discovery process. Clearly, the characterization of cathode rays was a process begun long before Thomson's work, and several scientists made important contributions. In what sense, then, can Thomson be said to have discovered the electron?"

"text": "\"Difference Between Electric field and Electric Potential• Categorized under Physics, Science | Difference Between Electric field and Electric Potential Electric field vs Electric potential An electric field is present around a charge – either negative or positive. Any charged object can also acquire that field of electric force. A charge or a charged object has a force of whether to attract or repel a surrounding charge or object. Surrounding charges have also electric fields of their own with varying magnitude and this must also be taken into account. The electric field is a force that acts between two charges and it is somewhat analogous to the gravitational field force that acts between two masses. The only difference is that gravitational force will be dependent on the values of masses while electric force will depend on the amount of charges on objects. The formula for an electric field is as follows: E = K * Q/d^2Where: K = constant Q = charge in unit Coulomb (C) d = distance between a charged object in unit meter (m)Electric field is measured in Newtons per Coulomb which means that the field intensity of an Electric Field (E) is described as the amount of force (F) present for every coulomb of charge. The vector quantity can also be expressed in the unit of Volts per Meter. Thus,E = F/QThis is a vector quantity that will either go in the direction of attraction or repulsion. It should be noted that a test charged should applied to get the Electric field intensity (E) of an object as there is no way to know how intense the field is, if it acts alone."

"text": "\"Rahul Answered Jan 4, 2018It's basically because of special relativity. An object acquires less space while it's moving than in rest. This is a fundamental property of our nature. So, now assume a conductor having flow of electron. The conductor is neutral, so it will have zero effect on a test charge resting near it. Now, if the charge is moving then in the frame of reference of charge, electrons are slowing down and protons are accelerating. So, for the test charge the space acquired by the electron is increasing and this space increases the net density of protons. This results that the test charge faces a repulsive force from the positive charge. But it seems that the charge must not be deflected in our frame of reference. So magnetism is electric force but from another frame of reference.253 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What is the effect of a magnetic field on a charged particle at rest?"

"text": "Instructor: Jim Heald Jim has taught undergraduate engineering courses and has a master's degree in mechanical engineering. In the 18th century, Charles Coulomb uncovered the secrets of electrostatic force between charged particles. The results of his experiments led to what is now known as Coulomb's Law, which tells us how force, charge, and distance are all related. Coulomb's Law Equation for the force between charged particles Back in the 18th century, it was well known that an electrically charged particle would exert a force on any other charged particle. The problem was no one knew how strong the force was or what factors affected its strength. That is, until a very bright scientist by the name of Charles Coulomb conducted several experiments that led him to propose what is now known as Coulomb's law. Charles Coulomb determined how to figure out the strength of the force between charged particles. As we'll discuss in this lesson, he found that the force between charged particles was dependent on only two factors: the distance between the particles and the amount of electric charge that they carried. We won't worry about memorizing the equation, but we will focus instead on understanding what the equation tells us about the relationships between force, distance, and charge. The Effect of Particle Charge The force between charged particles is directly related to the amount of charge carried by each particle."

Well, it just so happens that the Earth creates a magnetic field that is mostly constant at a given location. The compass can then be used to determine direction."

"text": "Electricians install electrical and power systems in residences and commercial buildings and may focus on construction, maintenance or both. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that most states require electricians to obtain licensure, and hourly rates tend to vary based on the electrician's level of training and experience. Other factors that affect how much an electrician typically charges per hour include his location and the industry in which he works. Electricians charge an hourly rate based on their experience, industry and location. Average Hourly Rate The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the average hourly rate an electrician charges in the U. S. is $24.45 as of May 2009. The median rate is $22.68 per hour, with electricians in the 10th percentile charging $13.79, those in the 25th percentile earning $17.30, those in the 75th percentile earning $30.35, and those in the 90th percentile earning $38.59. Common Industries The industry with the highest level of employed electricians is that of building equipment contractors, according to the BLS, in which electricians earn an hourly average wage of $24.29. Electricians working for local government charge an average of $26.16 an hour, while those working in employment services charge less at $20.91 an hour. In nonresidential building construction, electricians have an hourly mean wage of $23.58, and those in electric power generation, transmission and distribution charge $27.54 per hour. Other Industries Hourly rates for electricians tend to be higher in other industries with fewer employment opportunities."

Follow this Question In Home > Roofing Report It Tweet Voted Best Answer2 Votes Well let's see, if you pay your roofer $20 an hour (which is what a skilled roofer deserves) that's just the base. Then you have taxes, FICA, FUDA SUDA, that's about 10% of pay roll, so now $22 an hour. You have General Liability, that's about 19% of pay roll, so now $25.80. Then workman's compensation, about 30% of payroll, about $31.80 now. According to the NRCA a vehicle operational costs is about $150 a day or $18.75 an hour, not counting tools and equipment, so we are at least $50.55 now and that's just break even and doesn't even include any employee benefits like health insurance, 401k, life insurance, etc... In my opinion, Anything less than $70 an hour is just not enough. Here in Chicago I charge $80, and the union companies charge $120, and the scab hack morons charge $40. But the morons charging $40 are cheating their insurance, cheating their taxes, have no idea what a benefit is, don't realize their truck costs them money, and in most cases would be better off closing their so called business and going to work for someone else.

Hammers and reciprocating saws, clouds of sawdust, and falling timbers – these come nowhere close to the terror caused by thoughts of arcing electrical sparks and electrocution. Yet basic electrical problems are easily and safely fixable by most homeowners. Here is why. Why DIY? You would hire a repair shop to take on the difficult task of fixing your car’s tie rod ends or overhauling the engine. You could also ask the shop to change the oil and filter. Purely for the sake of convenience, you might pay for this service. But both are owner-friendly fixes that you can accomplish in your driveway with simple tools.

A Boston homeowner [ 1] is spending $2,600 on a do-it-yourself project rewiring a 2,300-square-foot home, including hiring an electrician to install the new electrical panel. Depending on local rates, having an electrician rewire your home can run about $65-$120 per device (outlet, switch, light fixture), plus $800-$3,000 to upgrade to a 100-200 amp electrical panel. Average total cost (materials and labor) for rewiring a house starts around $3,500-$8,000 for a moderate-sized home with easy access (at least 18-inches of crawlspace under the home plus an accessible attic) but can run $8,500-$20,000 or even as high as $30,000 for a large house and/or one with difficult access. Related articles: Upgrading an Electrical Panel, Adding an Electrical Outlet, Electrician, Home Addition, Interior Demolition, Garage Conversion What should be included: If your house is on a concrete slab or doesn't have an attic (or both), it will probably be necessary to cut open the walls about 2 feet up from the floor, as well as cutting through the ceiling joists. Many electricians recommend having the rewiring done while you're on vacation, and say a project will often cost more if you continue living in the home while the work is done. Having an electrician rewire a house generally takes 3-10 days, or about a week for the average older home. However, a complex project can take even longer. Do It Yourself.com offers an introduction [ 2] to home wiring, including useful terms and safety tips. Rewiring a home is painstaking and time-consuming work."

"text": "\"How much does it cost to build a barn? Though many believe a barn to be among the simplest and therefore least expensive types of structures, they can be quite different in size, function, and cost. For this discussion we will assess the cost of building a sturdy traditional English-style hay barn of 1200 square feet (30'x40') that can serve to house livestock or as a form of general storage. Building a barn of this size is not really a standard \"\"DIY\"\" project, and several contractors might be necessary for the job (concrete, carpentry, electrical, etc.). Cost breakdown To construct a barn of this type, the typical costs will include: According to the Craftsman Book Company, the average cost for building a barn of the type described above will average at $45,000. The resale value of this update would hold at $34,690, or an approximately 77% return on investment. The above figures place the cost of the barn at $37.55 per square foot. This pricing structure assumes that carpenters charge an average of $70 per hour, electricians and plumbers between $65 to $85 per hour, and painters between $20 and $35 per hour. Traditionally, most homeowners who do not tackle the project themselves will usually opt to work with a single contractor, who identifies suitable subcontractors and pulls proper permits for such a project. What needs to be included: Arrange any required demolition, excavation, or site preparation - Average costs are going to vary according to the level of work necessary Pour continuous concrete foundation and floor - Average price of concrete is $75 per cubic yard, with piers and the full slab it that would require roughly 22.25 cubic yards and would cost at least $1675Build wood framing - Average construction methods use solid wood 4x4 posts bolted to 2x8 beams, and constructed of 10' eaves 1."

"text": "\"By John Goreham G+ Dec 23 2013 - 3:43pm Tesla owner's garage fire highlights EV charging safety and cost A recent fire in a garage in which a Tesla was charging is a good reminder that EVs draw enormous current while charging. EV buyers should carefully plan their charger location and include the cost in their budget. Here are some things to consider if you plan to charge at home.5Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter A fire in Irvine California this past month highlights the fact that electric cars use more electricity than any other household appliance. The outlet in your garage was not intended to provide high amperage over a long period of time to charge a car. Like all appliances that draw a lot of current, any outlet that is used to charge an EV should be specifically designed and installed to accommodate that service. EV Home Charger Wiring Basics When an air conditioner or other large appliance is added to a home electricians do not tap into the existing wiring circuit closest to that appliance. Rather, they create what they call a “home run.” A home run is a circuit that goes from the single point of use directly back to the home’s main electrical panel. There are no other outlets on that wire. In addition, the circuit breaker that is between the appliance and the electrical supply (which is located in the electrical panel) will be added specifically for the service it will provide and it will be dedicated to just that one line."

Some electricians quote a flat fee per job rather than an hourly rate, depending on the scope and type of work to be performed. There may also be a minimum $50-$150 service charge to come to the house and evaluate the problem. Total cost for hiring an electrician will depend on the type of work done. Adding an electrical outlet typically starts at $60-$125 to replace an existing standard outlet with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) receptacle; can be $150-$250 for running a new 120V circuit off the electrical panel; and $300-$800 for installing a new 240V circuit on the main electrical panel. Upgrading an electrical panel typically costs $800-$1,200 to change an existing panel to 100 amps, or $1,500-$2,000 for a new panel. It can cost $1,300-$3,000 to upgrade to 200 amps and $2,000-$4,000 for 400 amps. Expect to pay $500-$1,000 for installing a new sub-panel. Average total costs for rewiring a house start at $3,500-$8,000 for a moderate-sized home with easy access to the crawlspace and attic, but it can cost $8,500-$30,000 or more for rewiring a large house and/or one with difficult access.

"text": "How Much Do You Charge Per Hour? February 29, 2012 By Naseem Muaddi 17 Comments Hotrod & Restoration magazine recently published its annual automotive industry statistics. The nationwide survey, which gathers data from all sectors of the custom and restoration industry, highlights valuable information that our shops can use to better understand the market – such as average shop sales revenues and busiest months of the year. What stands out the most, however, is the report’s findings on the average hourly labor rate that our auto upholstery shops charge in comparison to other sectors of the industry. Hotrod & Restoration interviewed a sample of shops in each of the following sectors of the automotive industry, uncovering their average hourly labor rates: Builders/Restorers/Fabricators: $61 per hour Engine builders: $72 per hour Machine Shops: $70 per hour Paint/Body Shops: $64 per hour Upholstery/Trim/Interior Shops: $55 per hour Trim shops charging an average of $55 per hour is no surprise, but when compared to other sectors in our industry it raises an important question: Why do we charge less per hour than other sectors when our skills are just as specialized as theirs? You can even make the case that we’re more highly specialized, as there are fewer trim shops than mechanic and body shops, and only a handful of auto upholstery trade schools in the entire country. The answer is clear. Someone is undervaluing our services – and it’s either us or the market. Tell us what you think: How does your shop’s hourly rate compare to the industry average? And who do you think is undervaluing the services that our auto trim shops provide?"

For many people, any electrical task around the house other than replacing a fuse in a plug instils a feeling of awe combined with dread. Whereas they might often consider doing a wide variety of household DIY jobs associated with other trades, the line is firmly drawn when it comes to electrical work. After all, it is one thing sitting in a puddle of water when an amateur plumbing attempt at fixing a leaky tap goes awry, but getting an electrical shock is quite something else. It is actually the case that when dealing with electrics, it is safer and generally more cost effective in the long run to call out a professional. Average cost Job Average cost Updated Quote Labour £20 - £35 (Per hour) 2013 Get quote Call out charge £20 - £50 (Call out charge) 2013 Get quote Factors to consider The most important factor to consider when choosing the right electrician is to check that they are licensed and registered. This will ensure that they are skilled, knowledgeable and experienced at the job. It is also advised to consider a qualified electrician that has been recommended by others based on the quality of the work. It is sensible to obtain at least three different quotes from electricians before you decide which one or which company to accept. Remember to check to see exactly what is included in each quote so that the comparisons are on a like for like basis."

I have a 2,000 square foot house, basically all new construction (one tiny bit still old). It's just been framed, so access is easy. I need an idea of rough electrical only, I realize the finish is definitely an owner driven cost and I'll be able to figure that out more easily. Any ideas of a rough cost for this? THANK YOUEmail Save Comment 19 Like 1Comments (19)Thank you for reporting this comment. Undospencer_electrician The rough in is whatever you want it to be past minimum code. Finish out is not the only place where all the additional expense is because the provisions for it go in now. In a standard state where other prices are not sky high, many charge $3.50 per square foot minimum code with a few fools I don't understand charging $2.80 but their quality displays that ;) At this time you need the low voltage wiring as well, such as cable and phone to every room."

As you can see at the page top, Ollie is shoveling in some kind of green glop. Ugh. Elephants living in the wild eat mostly grasses, sort of like cows do, but they also eat tree leaves and shrubs and even branches. It is believed their favorite is the acacia. They are also very happy to raid farmers' crops and eat all manner of vegetables. Elephants in captivity are fed a variety of foods they regard as wonderful treats not usually available in the wild. They are famous for loving peanuts."

"text": "Elephant Basics By any measure, elephants are remarkable animals The largest land animals in the world today, there are two distinct species of elephants – the Asian elephant and the African elephant. African elephants can grow to a height of about 13 feet and weigh more than ten tons, or 20,000 pounds! Though smaller, Asian elephants can still grow to a height of 12 feet and weigh more than seven tons (14,000 lbs). They have the largest brain and longest gestation period of any land animal with each pregnancy averaging 21.5 months. Elephants are also long-lived. Studies show African elephant life expectancy to be 41 years for females and 24 years for males, though the maximum lifespan for females is more than 65 years and close to 60 years for males. Elephants develop at a rate similar to humans. Since elephants are so large, they require an enormous amount of food. Elephants may spend 12-18 hours a day feeding. Adult elephants can eat between 200-600 pounds of food a day."

"text": "The question ''How long do elephants live?'' is not one that is commonly discussed outside of biology circles. However, a brief look at the differences between how these creatures survive in the wild and in captivity reveals how long their average lifespan may be. Lifespan in the Wild The actual lifespan of elephants in the wild may be surprising to some. An elephant can live for as long as 60 or 70 full years. In fact, these creatures might be among the longest living mammals in the jungles of Africa and Asia. Factors Affecting Lifespan The life expectancy in the wild is based on a host of factors. Predation fits into the life expectancy and elephants are hunted by humans for their ivory tusks. This practice has, however, been curtailed somewhat, although poaching still occurs. Elephants are not only killed for their ivory, they have long since been killed for their meat."

"text": "Circus Animals: Abused and Dangerous Rae Leann Smith - November 6, 2007Four zebras and three horses recently escaped from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Colorado and ran loose near a busy interstate highway for 30 minutes. This harrowing incident is just the latest in a long series of escapes and rampages that illustrate the dangers that animals in circuses pose to both themselves and the public. Transporting wild animals from town to town is inherently stressful for these animals, as it requires that they be separated from their families and social groups and intensively confined or chained for extended periods of time. It’s no surprise that many animals try to escape. The modern circus traces its history to the Roman Circus Maximus, an elongated U-shaped arena constructed in a long narrow valley between two of Rome’s seven hills. In the arena, both aristocrats and commoners attended chariot races, equestrian events, and, later, wild-animal displays. Although the events staged in the Circus Maximus began as fairly benign popular entertainment, they became increasingly violent spectacles. Little attention was paid to those injured or killed during these events—slaves and animals—because they were “nonpersons” according to Roman law. The modern circus arose in the early 19th century, beginning with equestrian and acrobatic acts. A circus first claimed to have tamed wild animals in 1820."

They are easily distinguished by their very large ears—which allow them to radiate excess heat—and front legs which are noticeably longer than the hind legs. They are found throughout the grassy plains and bushlands of Africa. Savanna elephants live in eastern and southern Africa, where the highest densities are found in Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. As a result of their visibility within the open areas where they live, Savanna elephants are well studied and populations are easily estimated. In the savanna subspecies, each family unit usually consists of around 10 females and their calves, and the bulls associate with these herds only during mating. Several family units often join together to form a “clan” consisting of up to several hundred members led by a female matriarch. Due to their habitat, savanna elephants are often found grazing on grasses, but they also browse on a wide variety of plants and fruits. This selection varies depending on the time of year; during the rainy season the elephant will feed more on grass than during the dry season.

"text": "What Do Elephants Eat in the Wild Elephants generally forage for several hours and they consume more than 100 different kinds of plants. They browse through an excessive proportion of grass in regions where there is short grass and this happens both in wet season as well as dry season. In these regions during the dry season, elephants confine themselves to sedges and grasses that grows near the streams and of which 85 – 90% are consumed. In the wet season, however, they start grazing once the grass reaches a length of 0.5 meter. You might be wondering as to what do elephants eat! Then, check out the real facts about their dietary habits. Elephants seldom browse through forests that are covered with mixed tall grass but the emergence of new grass, once the rain finishes, is generally greeted by these animals. In this season, elephants consume almost 70 – 75% tall grass. All in all, elephants browse almost 70% of grass during the dry season whereas in winter, they consume 54%. Studies conducted in Sri Lanka indicates that grass form an essential part of elephant’s diet."

"text": "Elephant Predators Elephant Predators Most people find it extremely interesting that elephants are classified as having no natural enemies. However, that doesn’t mean they are always safe out there in the wild. They can become prey to many animals including lions and tigers. This is mainly though if one of them is weak or very young. Since elephants form tight herds it is hard for predators to get them alone unless one falls behind the rest. For the most part elephants are very healthy so it isn’t often that one is able to become a meal for predators. Due to the many changes out there in the wild for many animals, there are some meat eaters that get brave from time to time. They will try to find slow moving young elephants when there is nothing else out there to eat. Since the herds of elephants don’t hide from meat eaters out there it can make them an attractive moving target. These predators do realize that adult elephants can kill them if they aren’t careful but if they are hungry enough they are going to take a chance."

Elephants are one of the best-known animals in the world. If all elephants seem the same to you, take a closer look. There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There is some ongoing debate about how many subspecies may exist, or whether some of these might, in fact, be species in their own right. Here are a few ways to tell them apart:- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly, their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up."

"text": "Heaviest Land Animals on Earth It is difficult to find agreement on what the largest land animals are as one must take into account height, weight, mass and length. Hence, we decided to make a list by weight. Some similar animals are grouped together; for example, although there are three species of elephants of varying weights and characteristics, a top 10 list would become redundant if we posted every type of elephant, all 5 species of rhinoceros and so on. Additionally, there will always be outliers where a specific animal grew much larger than normal. With that being said, please enjoy our list of the heaviest land animals.1) Elephant There are three main species of elephants: the African bush elephant, Indian (Asian) elephant and African forest elephant. The largest of which is the African bush elephant – it sometimes reaches a weight of over 15,000 lbs. That’s approximately the weight of 7.5 average-sized cars. Furthermore, they can stand at over 13 feet tall. It is easy for an elephant to eat hundreds of pounds of food in a single day and drink around 50 gallons of water as well. To accomplish this, they spend around 15 hours a day grazing and drinking."

Mahouts say that the elephant' s 'muscle bundles' are tighter than those of other animals, especially the leg muscles that must support such great weight. The legs must bear a weight of about 2 000-3 000 kilograms in the case of mature elephants. The front legs bear two out of three parts of the weight. The feet and legs are like those of the hippopotamus and tapir with the front legs longer than the back. Weight is distributed on a foot pad. The elephant has only one gait, the walk, so, unlike a horse, it can neither trot or gallop. Still, using the walking footfall pattern, elephants can \"\"run\"\" [technically, amble] quite quickly. The world record was set by a Thai elephant electronically measured at 23.84 kph. In a working day, a mature elephant can safely transport goods or people over level ground for 25 kilometres."

"text": "\"Enlarge What do elephants eat? Not surprisingly, elephants eat massive amounts of food — in the case of the African elephant, as much as 660 pounds (~300 kg) in a single day. 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."

Many of the most popular animals we know are mammals, for example, dogs, cats, horses, cows, but exotic animals like kangaroos, giraffes, elephants and anteaters belong to this group, too. Humans are also mammals. Mammals live in all regions and climates. They live on the ground, in trees or underground. Polar bears, reindeer and seals are mammals that live in the Arctic regions. Others, like camels or kangaroos prefer the world’s dry areas. Seals and whales are mammals that swim in the oceans; bats are the only mammals that can fly. Mammals have five features that make them different from other animals: Female mammals produce milk and feed their babies with it."

Held in Uniondale, New York, Sunday 5/21/17LCA President & Founder Chris De Rose led a very special demonstration at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus' last show on Earth! The final performance marked the end of a cruel era of Ringling breeding animals or stealing them from the wild and forcing them to perform demeaning, unnatural tricks out of fear. The end of Ringling Bros. was a hard-won victory that followed decades of investigations and protests by LCA and other animal advocacy groups. The demonstration at the final show commemorated the occasion as well as urged Ringling to send the animals to sanctuaries and not sell them to zoos or other exploitative facilities. HELP END CIRCUS CRUELTY: CLICK HERE to contact your congressperson and urge them to pass H. R. 1759, The Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA). This bill would ban the use of all exotic animals in traveling shows in the U. S. After 146 years, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, owned by Feld Entertainment, announced they are closing down. For decades, LCA has been at the forefront of undercover investigations and nonstop protests that garnered international attention exposing the severe animal cruelty that Ringling so desperately tried to hide and deny. Ringling’s CEO, Kenneth Feld, sent one of his own investigators, Steve Kendall, to spy on LCA's President, Chris De Rose."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases What are bands in hematology tests? Flag What are bands in hematology tests? Answer by Handyman2007 Confidence votes 4.4KBands are immature neutrophils that are released into the blood when the body needs more infection control than mature neutrophils can provide. An elevated number of bands suggests an acute infection. Actually the term is \"\"blasts\"\" Everyone has some amount of \"\"blast\"\" cells (immature) and they aren't ceels that can be used by the body. Elevated blast cells are a consideration when checking for diseases like Leukemia and another disease called MDS,,,Myleodysplasia. Usually if blasts are under 5%, there is no reason for great concern but you doctor will monitor that as it can develop into MDS or Leukemia, or Acute Myleoid Leukemia. If the blasts are greater 5-20% of total cell count in the bone marrow, you will probably start being treated for Leukemia. Over 20% is positive for AML..... Treatment can include Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, Bone Marrow transplant and/or Stem cell transplant. I have AML....dealing with it just fine."

Gradient compression means that the maximum amount of compression is exerted at the ankle, and weakens as it goes up the leg. This helps fight the effects of gravity by returning blood to the heart, and also helps reduce the possibility of circulation constriction. Why should I wear compression stockings? Everyone can benefit by wearing compression stockings, whether you have tired, aching legs, or more serious venous problems. It is important for those with swelling or edema to continually wear gradient compression stockings with doctor supervision. Why are these stockings so difficult to put on? Because these stockings are gradient compression, the largest part of your foot (the heel) has to fit through the smallest and tightest area of the stocking (the ankle). There are several donning aids available for those with limited mobility or diminished hand strength. Will Jobst knee high stockings cut off my circulation?"

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Other names for CRP are high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP). A high level of CRP in the blood is a marker of inflammation. It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, from infection to cancer. High CRP levels can also indicate that there’s inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk for heart attack. However, it’s important to remember that the CRP test is an extremely nonspecific test, and CRP levels can be elevated in any inflammatory condition. High CRP levels What does it mean to have a high CRP? Doctors don’t all agree on the implications of high CRP levels. Some believe there’s a correlation between high CRP levels and an increased likelihood for heart attack or stroke."

"text": "Next | Previous | Index Overview of Feline Bloodworkby Andrea Jensen Fall 2008Introduction Feline bloodwork is a common diagnostic tool used in the feline patient. It is often ordered as a geriatric screening for older cats that appear healthy, a pre-anesthesia screening, or as part of a set of diagnostics in systemically ill patients. As a geriatric screening, systemic imbalances such as hyperthyroidism or early liver or kidney disease can be caught before symptoms are present. Pre-anesthetic screenings are critical in the geriatric patient because most anesthetics are cleared by the liver and/or kidney, and can be life threatening in compromised patients. In a systemically ill patient, bloodwork can be essential in the process of ruling in or ruling out disease and assisting in the narrowing of the differential diagnoses list. It is unusual for bloodwork alone to provide a definitive diagnosis, but combined with the total clinical picture it can be extremely informative. Furthermore, even when bloodwork does not provide a primary diagnosis, it can often provide information about secondary imbalances that can be considered treatable symptoms (such as electrolyte imbalances). For a basic example, a vomiting cat may have low potassium secondary to vomiting and anorexia (not eating). The low potassium may lead to a set of tertiary symptoms, including muscle weakness, tachycardia, or arrhythmia, all of which can be immediately life threatening. In addition, the secondary and tertiary symptoms can mask the underlying cause of vomiting, and make it difficult to tell what the primary problem is."

A Moon Day is 27 days 7 Hours 43 Minutes The exact same side of the moon always faces the earth The Moon rotates around the Earth every 27 days 7 hours 43 minutes The Moon goes from New Moon to New Moon every 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes The Moons Diameter is 2,160 Miles It takes approximately 2.7 seconds for a radio wave to travel from earth to the moon and back to earth again The moon only takes up 0.5 of one degree out of the full 180 degrees of sky The fact that the moon appears larger at moonrise and moonset is only a optical illusion . What is EME ??? : EME ( Earth - Moon - Earth ) , or also commonly called \"\" Moonbounce\"\", is a type of communication that occurs when two stations point their antennas at the Moon and attempt to reflect their signals off the Moon to try to make a contact . The Moon is used as a RF reflector much like the Ionosphere is used to reflect radio waves. EME is one of the most challenging aspects of Amateur Radio and requires alot of patience when receiving the very, very weak signals. EME operation occurs from the 6 Meter band all the way up into the tens of Gigahertz Frequency Range. 2 Meters is the most popular band because it is much easier to get the equipment to setup a EME Station and it has the highest population of EME Operators. Equipment required for EME: Antennas : EME can be done with a single yagi antenna, @ 15 d Bd of gain , and 100 watts , however, it is much better to have something like a set of 4 yagis."

Explore electromagnetic (EM) waves, their features and how they differ from other waves. Learn how EM waves are organized on a spectrum based on the amount of energy they produce, from radio waves to gamma rays. Heinrich Hertz and Electromagnetic Waves Who is Heinrich Hertz? If you guessed that he was the founder of the popular American car rental company with a similar name, you're not alone. But Heinrich Hertz wasn't a car rental entrepreneur. Instead, he was a German scientist who performed experiments with electricity when electricity was still a fancy new thing that scientists had a lot to learn about. In 1888, when Hertz was 30, he made an electric spark jump from one terminal to another and noticed a second spark at the same time between two terminals a couple of yards away. Exciting stuff, I know, but this was 1888, and what Hertz noticed was a different kind of electromagnetic wave that eventually came to be known as Hertzian waves. A few years later, in 1896, a young Italian scientist named Guglielmo Marconi built on Hertz's discovery and created the first radio transmitter, sending radio signals for a mile. ("

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Physics Electricity and Magnetism Electromagnetic Radiation How do you describe the electromagnetic spectrum? Flag How do you describe the electromagnetic spectrum? Answer by Meep Moop Confidence votes 1.2KThe electromagnetic spectrum consists of energy radiated as waves, through matter or through open space. This radiation is in the form of sinusoidal waves composed of both electric and magnetic fields. The energy is contained in discrete packets of energy called photons, which can be scattered and quantized. The rate at which the waves propagate is their frequency, and each type of energy within the spectrum has a frequency and a corresponding wavelength. The wavelengths are divided into ranges, including radio waves (the longest wavelength); microwaves; infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light; x-rays, and gamma rays (the shortest wavelength). Visible light has a wavelength from about 380 to 760 nanometers and a frequency from about 790 to 400 terahertz. Electromagnetic energy can transfer energy from one location (source) to another location and may be absorbed to a varying extent by matter, which may re-radiate it in another form. .

Learning Objectives Discuss how wave motion arises and its measurable properties, noting the conclusions of Young’s double slit experiment Key Takeaways Key Points Wave motion arises when a periodic disturbance of some kind is propagated through an elastic medium. Pressure variations through air, transverse motions along a guitar string, or variations in the intensities of the local electric and magnetic fields in space, known as electromagnetic radiation, are all examples of waves. There are three measurable properties of wave motion: amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. A definitive experiment was Young’s double slit experiment, which demonstrated that light shined at two slits in a screen show an interference pattern characteristic of waves of light, rather than particles. The phase associated with a wave is also important in describing certain phenomena. The velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength and the frequency. Key Termsamplitude: The maximum value of the variable reached in either direction.wave: A shape that alternatively varies between a maximum in two opposite directions.frequency: The number of vibrations per second.wavelength: The distance traveled by the wave in a full period (1/frequency). In this section, we will focus on the wave-like properties of light.

Learning Objectives Compare properties of AM and FM radio waves Key Takeaways Key Points The lowest frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is designated as “radio,” generally considered to have wavelengths within 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers or frequencies within 300 GHz to 3 k Hz. There is a wide range of subcategories contained within radio including AM and FM radio. Radio waves can be generated by natural sources such as lightning or astronomical phenomena; or by artificial sources such as broadcast radio towers, cell phones, satellites and radar. AM radio waves are used to carry commercial radio signals in the frequency range from 540 to 1600 k Hz. The abbreviation AM stands for amplitude modulation—the method for placing information on these waves. AM waves have constant frequency, but a varying amplitude.

"text": "\"Polarization - EM Waves and Antennas Previous: Bandwidth Antenna Basics Menu The Antennas Page - Main Polarization of Plane Waves Polarization (or Polarisation for our British friends) is one of the fundamental characteristics of any antenna. First we'll need to understand polarization of plane waves, then we'll walk through the main types of antenna polarization. Linear Polarization Let's start by understanding the polarization of a plane electromagnetic wave. A plane electromagnetic (EM) wave is characterized by electric and magnetic fields traveling in a single direction (with no field variation in the two orthogonal directions). In this case, the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction the plane wave is propagating. As an example, consider the single frequency E-field given by equation (1), where the field is traveling in the +z-direction, the E-field is oriented in the +x-direction, and the magnetic field is in the +y-direction. In equation (1), the symbol is a unit vector (a vector with a length of one), which says that the E-field \"\"points\"\" in the x-direction. A plane wave is illustrated graphically in Figure 1.

How does an electromagnetic wave travel through for example, the vacuum of space? I usually see that waves are explained using analogies with water, pieces of rope, the strings of a guitar, etc, but it seems to me that all those waves need a medium to propagate. In fact, from my point of view, in those examples the wave as a \"\"thing\"\" does not exist, it's just the medium that moves (involuntary reference to The Matrix, sorry). But in space there is no medium, so how does a wave travel? Are there free particles of some sort in this \"\"vacuum\"\" or something? I believe the existence of \"\"ether\"\" was discarded by Michelson and Morley, so supposedly there isn't a medium for the wave to travel through. Moreover, I've seen other answers that describe light as a perturbation of the electromagnetic field, but isn't the existence of the field, potential until disturbed? How can it travel through something it does not exist until it's disturbed by the traveling light in the first place? ("

There are no comprehensive resources available over the internet which deal with the various design and implementation issues of this technology. Intellectual property regulations of many corporations are partly to blame for this and also the tendency to keep technical know-how within a restricted group of researchers. Before embarking on the rest of this book, it is important first to cover exactly what embedded systems are, and how they are used. This wikibook will attempt to cover a large number of topics, some of which apply only to embedded systems, but some of which will apply to nearly all computers (embedded or otherwise). As such, there is a chance that some of the material from this book will overlap with material from other wikibooks that are focused on topics such as low-level computing, assembly language, computer architecture, etc. But we will first start with the basics, and attempt to answer some questions before the book actually begins.

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

( A) Macaulay Duration Macaulay duration measures the average time that would be taken to receive the cashflows from the invested bond. It is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash flows from a bond. The weight of each cash flow is determined by dividing the present value of the cash flow by the price. Formula: - Macaulay Duration= ∑ ( 1/P × Ci / [ e ^ ( (YTM^c×ti ) ) ] × ti ) Where n = number of cashflows P = Current Price of the Bond Ci = Amount for ith cashflow YTMc = Continuously Compounded YTM ti = time (in years) until cashflow Ci becomes due from today Assumption 1. Macaulay Duration measures interest rate risk only for bonds where cashflows do not change with change in the yield (i.e. for plain vanilla bonds and not for bonds with embedded options) 2. Macaulay Duration assumes yield curve is flat and so cashflows are reinvested at constant YTM rate over the bond period. 3. Macaulay Duration does not consider the fact that duration does not remain constant and duration changes with level of YTM rates. Questions 1."

[ 1] While she was working on a Mark II computer at Harvard University, her associates discovered a moth stuck in a relay and thereby impeding operation, whereupon she remarked that they were \"\"debugging\"\" the system. However, the term \"\"bug\"\", in the sense of \"\"technical error\"\", dates back at least to 1878 and Thomas Edison (see software bug for a full discussion). Similarly, the term \"\"debugging\"\" seems to have been used as a term in aeronautics before entering the world of computers. Indeed, in an interview Grace Hopper remarked that she was not coining the term [ citation needed]. The moth fit the already existing terminology, so it was saved. A letter from J.

If you’d purchased one you would have found yourself sharing the right of way with Stanley steam cars, battery-powered Baker coupes, horses and buggies, mule trains, ox carts, Indian motorcycles, bicycles and trolley cars. There was more than one way to get around and each one had unique advantages. The result, quite often, was sheer bedlam. Modern digital communications may appear to be in a similar state of disarray. Newer protocols like USB and Wi-Fi haven’t driven older protocols like RS-422/485 off the streets; they merely share the right of way. There are still some things that serial communications do so well – connecting the pumps at your corner gas station to the cash register would be a good example -- that the total number of serial-equipped devices deployed around the planet is actually continuing to grow. They’ll be out there on the road for a long, long time.

As it is doing now for many safety-critical systems on commercial and military aircraft, real-time operating system (RTOS) software will likely provide support for those Next Gen systems, such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). Adhering to stringent safety standard requirements, technology companies are developing and deploying complex RTOS environments designed to execute applications and help hold down size, weight and power use as new functionality is added. “Real-time operating systems serve a critical role in ensuring safety at the processing level because they guarantee that hundreds, if not thousands, of specific algorithms get executed on time every time,” said Larry Miller, chief engineer, real-time operating systems at Honeywell. “ If you take the example of a traffic collision-avoidance system (TCAS) or a ground proximity warning system (GPWS), avoiding an air-to-air collision or a controlled flight into terrain incident can very well depend on the integrity of an RTOS.”DDC-I’s Deos safety-critical RTOS is used to host DO-178B certifiable avionics software for air data computers, air data inertial reference units, cockpit video, displays and flight instrumentation, electronic flight bags, enhanced ground proximity warning, flight control, flight management, maintenance, power distribution, radios, traffic collision avoidance and weather radar RTOS products have been for some time providing support for avionics systems including autopilots, display systems, navigation computers and flight management systems, and will now likely begin servicing Next Gen applications as they come on line. For example, DDC-I’s Deos RTOS was recently selected by Goodrich Sensors and Integrated Systems to help run ADS-B In on its Smart Display Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) systems. “If you look at all the requirements (for those Next Gen programs), many of them but not all are safety critical,” said Robert Dewar, co-founder, president and CEO of New York-based Ada Core, a computer software company that provides open source software tools and expertise for the development of mission-critical, safety-critical and security-critical software. The increased use of and appreciation for RTOSs, designed to run embedded applications requiring precise timing and a high degree of reliability, has coincided with the emergence of complex digital software systems and microprocessors. A RTOS, which offers “services to the application programs, is the most efficient way to utilize all that processing power that is out there,” said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing at Phoenix-based DDC-I. DDC-I is one of several companies competing in this market that also includes Wind River, Lynux Works and Green Hills Software. These companies are providing baseline real-time operating systems along with a variety of RTOS-based products."

In modern times, non-physical data hiding is usually associated with digital forms such as cryptography, steganography, and watermarking. Although related in the sense that they all are means to achieve secure or proprietary communications, there are differences among their three activities at a number of levels – some of which are quite subtle. To illustrate, the cryptographer's interest is primarily with obscuring the content of a message, but not the communication of the message. The steganographer, on the other hand is concerned with hiding the very communication of the message, while the digital watermarker attempts to add sufficient metadata to a message to establish ownership, provenance, source, etc. Cryptography and steganography share the feature that the object of interest is embedded, hidden or obscured, whereas the object of interest in watermarking is the host or carrier which is being protected by the object that is embedded, hidden or obscured. Further, watermarking and steganography may be used with or without cryptography; and imperceptible watermarking shares functionality with steganography, whereas perceptible watermarking does not. Overviews exist for cryptography [13], steganography [9], [14], and watermarking [3]. However, there is also a physical aspect of digital data hiding. In this case, digital storage locations are used to hide or conceal data. Obviously, these storage locations must be somewhat obscure or detection would be trivial."

It is recommended to print a Configuration page after configuring the HP Jetdirect to verify that the correct TCP/IP address and other information is correct. Resetting the HP Jetdirect to factory default settings Also known as a cold reset, a cold reset can be helpful if unable to Telnet to the print server due to an IP address conflict or if unable to see it in HP Web Jetadmin or one of the other utilities listed below. A cold reset will clear any previous IP address or passwords as well as resetting the printer configuration back to factory defaults. The factory defaults include a TCP/IP address of either 169.254.x.x or 192.0.0.192. Some print servers may show the TCP/IP address as 0.0.0.0 if a LAN cable is not connected, or if the print server cannot detect the network connection due to a bad cable, hub, or LAN link speed configuration problem. Here are some general steps that work for most printers and print servers. Additional cold reset steps may be found in the printer's manual or on the HP Web site noted in the hyperlink above."

"text": "\"Adding Multimedia to a Power Point 2003 Presentation Office 2003Andrew May Microsoft Corporation April 2004Applies to: Microsoft® Office Power Point® 2003 Microsoft Power Point 2002Summary: Learn how Microsoft Office Power Point 2003 employs Microsoft Windows multimedia technology to play media files, the best approaches for working with media in presentations, and the advantages of inserting media files into presentation as objects that Power Point recognizes as movies and sounds. ( 9 printed pages)Contents Introduction Inserting Audio and Video Files as Media Objects Inserting Media Files as OLE Objects Conclusion Introduction One of the strengths of Microsoft® Office Power Point® 2003 is that it enables users to incorporate sounds and movies to create multimedia presentations that have impact. To create the most robust, effective multimedia presentation experience, you need to understand how Microsoft Power Point 2002 and Microsoft Office Power Point 2003 insert media files, and the best way to add such files to Power Point and control their behavior programmatically. Inserting Audio and Video Files as Media Objects There are two ways to add a media file to your presentation: as a media object, or as an OLE object. The easiest and most flexible method is to add the file as a media object. We'll discuss how to insert a media file as a media object, and the advantages of doing so, and then cover how to insert the media file as an OLE object. Adding the file as a media object ensures that Power Point recognizes the file as a piece of multimedia; this, in turn, enables you to take advantage of all the built-in support and customization Power Point provides for dealing with sound and video files. Power Point chooses the appropriate media player to play the file. In addition, you can assign certain behaviors for media objects in Power Point. For both audio and video files, you can loop playing the media file until either the next media file starts, the user clicks the slide, or a slide transition occurs."

"text": "What is Microsoft Windows? Microsoft Windows is a series of operating systems and environments developed and marketed by Microsoft Corporation. The first version of Windows was released in 1985 as a graphical user interface to MS-DOS, providing multiple document support, mouse support, drop down menus, and color video drivers. Later versions gradually replaced many of MS-DOS's built-in hardware functions with their own enhanced functions, until Windows fully assimilated MS-DOS and became a full-fledged operating system. Microsoft Windows is now often referred to as an integrated operating system due to the high level of integration between the core kernel functions and other Microsoft software such as Outlook, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. Despite it's poor security record caused by this integration, Microsoft Windows is today the most widely used OS on personal home computers, laptop computers, and small business machines. The latest version, Windows Vista, was released in late 2006 to large businesses while the consumer version was delayed until early 2007. As an integrated operating system, all Microsoft Windows versions come with preinstalled software that is ready to use upon installation. Basic text editors and calculators have been available since the first versions of Windows. Windows 98 added Media Player, Internet Explorer and Outlook Express."

"text": "The Royal Society made a convincing argument that ICT should be replaced by a combination of Computer Science and Digital Literacy. The current draft of the new ICT Po S does not live up to this vision. In my post Scrapping “ICT” on January 18 th, I attacked the term “ICT” on the grounds that it confused two concepts: the teaching of technology (which I proposed to call Computer Studies) and the use of technology to improve learning (which I proposed to call education technology). I had not at that time read the Royal Society report, Shut down or restart?, which had been published five days earlier. This report argued along similar lines to my own, but suggested that the term “ICT” confused not two but five concepts:the National Curriculum Subject called “ICT” (itself a combination of many strands);the use of generic information technologies (e.g. the internet, VLEs, office software) to support teaching and learning;the use of specific technologies to support individual subjects (e.g. weather stations in Geography, MIDI instruments in Music);the use of technologies to support teachers’ administrative processes, and the school’s management information systems;the physical infrastructure of a school’s computer systems: the networks, printers and so on. I can agree with the Royal Society that “ICT” confuses many different terms without necessarily agreeing that their five points represent the most helpful classification of the different concepts. Disaggregating “ICT”First, the Royal Society makes the important distinction (which I have argued in this blog) between generic and specific technologies—but it uses these terms to distinguish technologies that are specific to particular subjects and does not mention the need to develop technologies which are specific to teaching and learning (indeed, it classifies VLEs as a generic technology). Nor does the Royal Society make clear whether the use of MIDI instruments in music ought to be regarded as an end of music teaching, or a means of teaching music; or whether the software being used will be of a type that students will continue use when they move on to professional recording studios, or whether it has been developed specifically for the classroom. In short, we may need to see specificity in two different dimensions: what is specific to the business of education; what is specific to the curricula of different subjects (i.e. subject-specific technical curricula)—and where these two senses overlap, what is specific to the business of education in particular subjects (i.e. subject-specific educational technology)."

By Jeffrey Schieberl, JD and Charles P. Leo, Ph D Share Photo: SX70Employees who supervise other workers are required to receive training related to persons with disabilities. Many employers are not clear about these laws or actively attempt to ignore them. However, even in cases where employers are in the midst of financial difficulties-or even in the case of layoffs-courts have regarded veterans as a special class of employee to whom special rules apply. In 2006 a U. S. District Court in Colorado ordered Agilent Technologies to pay Lieutenant Colonel Steve Duarte, a Marine Corps Reservist who was deployed to Iraq, $383,761 for terminating him only a few months after he returned from active duty. Agilent viewed the termination as necessary because it was contending with financial difficulties. However, the presiding judge viewed the situation differently. The judge was of the view that, “Col. Duarte paid a steep price for his military deployment during his employment with the company and he deserved better.” [ 10]Business Law A A A=Photo: SX70This article is intended to bring to the attention of employers the legal obligations they have to employees who have been called to active military duty or who are members of the United States National Guard or Reserves."

"text": "\"H-1B-Dependent Employers During times of economic growth, many employers, especially those in the high-tech sector, find it difficult to find enough skilled U. S. workers to fill all their job openings. Fortunately for these employers, there are plenty of highly skilled workers abroad seeking to live and work in the United States. These companies can fill their open positions by hiring foreign workers via the H-1B program. There can be too much of a good thing, however. Employers should seek an appropriate balance between U. S. and H-1B workers or else they risk becoming \"\"H-1B-dependent. \"\" Definition Employers are considered to be H-1B-dependent if they fall into any of the following three categories, as indicated in 20 C. F. R. § 655.736 (a): An employer has 25 or fewer full-time employees of whom more than seven are H-1B employees;An employer has between 26 to 50 full-time employees of whom more than 12 are H-1B employees; or An employer has more than 50 full-time employees of whom 15 percent or more are H-1B employees. All employers are required to indicate their H-1B dependency status each time they file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) to support an H-1B petition, whether for a new employment application or for an extension of a current H-1B employee’s status. Implications of H-1B Dependence If an employer is H-1B-dependent or has been found to have willfully violated H-1B obligations within a five-year period, the employer has attestation obligations regarding the displacement of U. S. workers and its recruitment efforts, in addition to the general employer requirements for H-1B visa petitions. H-1B-dependent employers who are hiring a non-exempt (i.e. paid hourly) H-1B employee must declare that they have not and will not displace or lay-off a U. S. worker \"\"in an equivalent job\"\" either within their own workforce or that of another employer (e.g., a contractor). The employer may not displace a U. S. worker within its own workforce by hiring an H-1B worker in an equivalent job during a period beginning 90 days before the H-1B petition filing date and lasting until 90 days after the filing date."

Boyer on October 16, 2007 Download PDFDespite vetoing proposed bills that would have extended California leave laws in other respects, on October 9, 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Assembly Bill 392. The new law requires public and private employers who employ over 25 employees to provide up to 10 days of unpaid leave for a \"\"qualified\"\" employee if the employee's military spouse is on a leave from deployment in a combat zone with the active duty, reserve military or National Guard during a period of military conflict. The law also makes it unlawful for an employer to retaliate against a qualified employee for requesting or taking this leave. A. B. 392 went into effect immediately upon ratification by the Governor. The purpose of the legislation is to provide families of troops currently serving in military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan time together during the servicemember's leave from deployment in a combat zone. Qualified Employees Under A. B. 392, a qualified employee is one who works an average of 20 or more hours per week, but it does not include independent contractors. The qualified employee must also be the spouse of a \"\"qualified\"\" member of the military. Under Family Code section 297.5, the term spouse includes registered domestic partners. Accordingly, an employer must provide a qualified employee with leave under A. B. 392 if he or she is a registered domestic partner of a qualified member of the military. However, requests for family military leave from a same-sex registered domestic partner will likely be uncommon, as servicemembers are still forbidden under military regulations from registering as same-sex domestic partners under the current \"\"don't ask don't tell\"\" policy."

Employers may be required to provide certain time-off benefits to their employees, including time off to vote, jury duty leave, family and medical leave, pregnancy leave and military leave. Time-off benefits for employees can be offered at the employer's discretion, but several are mandated by federal and/or state law. Required time-off benefits include time off to vote, jury duty leave, family and medical leave, pregnancy or maternity leave, and military leave. Time Off to Vote You probably want your employees to be active in the community they live in, and part of that activism involves voting in local, state, and federal elections. While there are no federal laws that require you to give employees time off to vote, the majority of jurisdictions have laws that require private employers to give employees time off to vote, and in many of these states, the employee must be paid for this time. Most states, even those without voting leave laws, have laws protecting employees from employer influence, interference or intimidation regarding their political opinions and/or right to vote. Consult our state map covering voting time-off requirements for your state's laws regarding voting leave for employees. Tools to Use Our Business Tools contain a sample time-off policy that you can edit in conjunction with your state's law (if applicable) and distribute to your employees.

This difference is expressed as a percentage of male earnings. The gender pay gap reduces women’s lifetime earnings and also affects their pensions - this is one of the significant causes of poverty in later life for women. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) collects data on earnings in the UK which it uses to calculate gender pay differences. In 2016, the average pay of women working full-time was only 90.6% of men’s pay. This means that compared to men, women stopped earning on the 10th November 2016 – they were effectively working for no money after this date, which is referred to as Equal Pay Day. On average, a woman working full-time in 2016 earned £5,732 less a year than a man ( Allen, 2016 , Fawcett Society, 2016 ). When part-time employees are included, the gender pay gap was 18.1% in 2016 . The pay gap varies across sectors and regions, rising to up to 55% in the finance sector. In 2012, 64% of the lowest paid workers were women, contributing not only to women's poverty but to the poverty of their children."

"text": "Liability, Immunity, and Workers’ Compensation Issues in Public Health Emergencies Issue Brief Overview Concerns about potential liabilities regularly arise during emergency response situations. Individual government employees, volunteers, and healthcare providers, as well as entities such as businesses and nonprofit organizations, worry about potential liability for their actions during an emergency. Liability occurs when a person or entity is found to be legally responsible for their actions or their failure to act. Volunteers and others participating in emergency response activities also raise questions about their ability to obtain coverage under state workers’ compensation programs for injuries received while participating in the response. Federal and state statutory protections against liability have been created to address the concerns of volunteers and others involved in emergency response, as well as to ensure that there are adequate numbers of medical, public health, and other individuals and institutions to participate in response efforts. These various laws work together to form a patchwork of liability protections. These protections, however, can be highly dependent on the nature of the services provided by the person (volunteer vs. paid employee) and the extent of protections provided under the program the person is participating in. This issue brief describes some of the possible theories of liability that could arise from emergency response activities and reviews liability protections and workers’ compensation frameworks for individuals and entities. The brief is intended to provide general information on the topics presented and is not intended to provide legal advice. ( Download a printable PDF. )"

Many factors contribute to the excellence of companies chief among them is employee’s commitment. Without commitment no company can think of achieving excellence. Commitment is rather a key ingredient for improving quality and productivity, reducing defects, increasing profitability and decreasing costs. However these days one of the major problems by all companies is the lack of total commitment from their employees. In Malaysia it is a common complaint that employees are no more loyal as they used to be in the past. As a result of lower commitment employees leave their companies for slightly higher pay. Some manager’s joke that today’s employees will leave their company even for a 50 cents increased salary offered by other companies. Lack of loyalty is not only faced by Malaysian companies but in other countries, companies also complain of this problem.

Moving from company to company, you never really get over the \"\"new job\"\" jitters, even if it is a short term contract. The money is good, and staying employed isn't really difficult as there are usually plenty of jobs to go around. But being really successful at contracting requires a slightly different skill base and mind set than most people realize. Understanding how contracting companies operate, how they value your worth, and how to negotiate the best possible terms will make all the difference between being just another \"\"fish\"\", and being a highly paid, in demand professional. This article is a combination of my experiences in the contracting industry, the experiences of several of my peers, interviews with recruiters, contract sales managers, account representatives, and IT managers who hire contractors."

"text": "What You Need to Know Unfortunately, there were nearly 900 amputations on the job in the U. S. in 2016, according to OSHA. A lockout/tagout initiative should identify all energy sources and place them in a state of “zero energy” before anyone repairs, tests or examines machines and equipment. OSHA advises companies to create step-by-step processes with specific directions for every piece of equipment and clear use of a padlock. Remember: Annual auditing must detail that required annual training and all documentation meets lockout/tagout standards, for which rules continuously evolve. Best practice calls for both document control and for verifying directions work on-site (which means testing). It’s too easy to be hurt when performing maintenance, so regularly evaluate and tweak your lockout/tagout program to keep it current and ensure safety hazards are avoided. In FY2016, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration received reports of 868 amputations caused by workplace incidents nationwide. Each and every one of these life-altering accidents was preventable in some form or fashion, says Brian Drake, assistant regional administrator for enforcement programs in OSHA Region 7. The best way to prevent tragedies in the workplace is to follow the OSHA rules for lockout/tagout programs, Drake says. Though not every company needs a LOTO safety program, any employer whose associates service or maintain equipment that could put them in harm’s way should develop one, he says."

"text": "\"As the federal government becomes a good source of jobs, more people are likely to be introduced to this retirement-savings account for federal employees. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor May 14, 2009I invested in my former employer's 401 (k) plan for years, then lost my job. I now work for the federal government and have the opportunity to invest in the Thrift Savings Plan. How does this plan work, and can I roll my 401 (k) money into it? The Thrift Savings Plan is a lot like a 401 (k) for federal employees and members of the military, and many more people are likely to be introduced to it over the next year or so, as the federal government becomes a good source of new jobs in this economy. As with a 401 (k), your contributions to the TSP lower your taxable income and grow tax-deferred until retirement. Many federal employees get an employer match (it generally depends on the retirement system you belong to), although most members of the military do not. The contribution limits are similar to those in a 401 (k) -- you can contribute up to $16,500 to the Thrift Savings Plan in 2009, plus an extra $5,500 in catch-up contributions if you're 50 or older. ( Members of the military who are deployed can contribute all of their tax-exempt combat-zone pay, as long as their total contributions for the year don't exceed $49,000). You'll generally have to pay a 10% penalty - as you would with a 401 (k) -- if you leave your job before age 55 and withdraw the money (there is an exception for eligible military reservists called to duty for more than 179 days)."

It used to be managers standing behind you as you worked, but now it comes in a more productive and useful form. There are many types of business software to solve that problem, employee monitoring tools being one of them. Employee monitoring tools allow managers to monitor workplace activity while employees are left alone to do their business. Employers are increasingly combining technology with policy to: Manage productivity Manage security Reduce litigation Manage other risks According to a study conducted a few years ago by the American Management Association (AMA) and The e Policy Institute, 28% of employers who have fired workers for e-mail misuse and cited the following reasons: Violation of a company policy (64%)Offensive or inappropriate language (62%)Excessive non-business or personal use (26%)Violating confidentiality rules (22%)Other (12%)30% of managers have fired subordinated for Internet misuse and cited the following reasons: Viewing, uploading, or downloading content deemed inappropriate or offensive (84%)Violation of company policies (48%)Excessive non-business use (34%)Other (9%)The study also found that Employers are primarily concerned about inappropriate Web surfing and 66% monitor Internet connections while 65% use software to block connections to inappropriate Websites, a 27% increase since 2001 when a similar study was first conducted. Samples employers who restrict access to the Internet are primarily concerned about employees visiting: Adult sites with sexual, romantic, or pornographic content (96%)Game sites (61%)Social networking sites (50%)Entertainment sites (40%)Shopping/auction sites (27%)Sports sites (21%)External blogs (18%)Clearly, employers have serious concerns about what employees are doing on company time. If you are such an employer, the following employee monitoring tools will help you monitor what your workers are doing at the workplace. But, before we proceed, take note that employee monitoring software falls broadly into two categories: Overt – the presence of these applications is known to the employees. Employees are made aware that they are being monitored and the applications or gadgets are in plain sight. Covert – the presence of covert applications and tools isn’t revealed to the worker."

It takes a team of diversely trained service members to complete a combat mission and make the deployment a success. The Air Force plays a critical role in accomplishing this as a result of its tremendous air power. For this reason, only a few jobs in the Air Force are considered non-deployable, and these are usually specialty positions designed to be shorter in tenure than regular air force jobs. Non-deployable Status The Air Force, in general, does not give blanket approval for certain jobs to become non-deployable. An experienced airman can obtain a special assignment, as an instructor, for example, that places him in a \"\"controllable unit,\"\" making him temporarily non-deployable, but his whole career probably won't be protected from deployment.

These two animals are prominent on the coat of arms because, not only are they uniquely Australian, but they are unable to walk backwards, and therefore represent forward progression - apt for a new, young country. They are not Australia's official faunal emblems, as Australia has no official faunal emblem. Australia's floral emblem is the Golden Wattle and this appears behind the emu and kangaroo. The kangaroo and emu are holding a shield, upon which is the badge of each state of Australia. This indicates the unity of the states, as they came together at Federation, and highlighting this is the Federation Star which sits above the shield.

I normally shed like 10 hairs/day, but in the summer I would say it is something like 100 or 150, or maybe even more. I cannot figure why, I have the same type of diet, I do never expose my hair to the sun for more than few minutes, I use the same products (CP shampoo and conditioner, and Folligen Spray from time to time). I take the same supplements (which include vit C, MSM, copper, borage oil, omega 3 through real food like flax seeds, salmon etc etc) The weather here in South CA is pretty much the same year round. I always wash my hair about every 4 or 5 days, I never swim in pools or ocean. I have not used a hair drier for about 12 years, I have never in my life done any chemical treatment to my hair, nor heating to straighten or curl them.

I have been battling this to this day safely and simply with Tenex (comparabale to the popular Clonidine), and Clonazepam (Klonopin)… I take it at bed.. I also use Atenolol (beta blocker) as needed on days of big meeting, oral speeches, or family gatherings etc… This is only cause that adrenaline caused a major flush… so if you have neural mediated flushing too this must be addressed, they told me I had a new disorder called Body Dismorphic Disorder… where you think the flaw is very bad, even though it may be minor, not there, or not seeable to the naked eye of others… Dont forget the work with the psychiatrist isn’t all peaches and cream, i tried over 12 meds, like paxil, zoloft, prozac, buspar, xanax, serzone, anafranil, risperdal… It takes a while to find the chemistry that works for you, be persistent and patient!! !

I tried AFE chamomile cleanser but the cetyl alcohol in it got to me… I also tried A-derma Septalibour’s cleanser and thought it was pathetic, so Zia is the way to go as of now…I moisturize twice daily while wet, with Dr.sy’s VITA oil (jojoba)… I had pitfalls with her moisturizing oils (safflower and jojoba), safflower oil made me bright red and broken out… so did pure aloe oil, but aloe vera gel seems ok for me… Keep things simple, less ingredients the better, no fragrances!!"

It does not necessarily correspond with the size of the bird, and each egg that a bird lays will always have the same pattern, similar to our fingerprints. When the emu lays her eggs, it s normally in the hours of late afternoon or early morning. She squats on her haunches rather than lying down completely, and then giving a slight push, which hunches her body somewhat, where upon the egg is dropped with a thump to the ground.

Fogoros, MDUpdated December 31, 2017Share Pin Email Print GARO/Getty Images Emu oil is a natural product made from the refined fat of the emu (a large, flightless bird native to Australia). Rich in antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats (including omega-3 fatty acids ), emu oil has long been used in aboriginal culture to treat skin conditions. Widely touted for its purported anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, emu oil is said to promote the healing of wounds and to treat skin conditions as far-ranging as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and rashes. When used for hair care, emu oil is said to increase fullness, add shine, eliminate split ends, and control dandruff. Purported Health Benefits Beyond its benefits to the skin and hair, emu oil is believed by some to treat other health conditions, including those associated with the immune system. Among them: Back pain Chronic pain Diabetes Gum disease Headaches Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid arthritis While some manufacturers are often quick to promote these claims, there is actually little evidence that emu oil can improve a person's skin or hair, much less treat a general or chronic health condition.

An Emu is very similar to the ostrich and are native to Australia but can also be seen in other countries. The birds are flightless and can reach up to six feet in height and are capable of running 30 miles per hour. Emu birds are primarily kept on farms and are used for meat, oil, and/or its leather. Even though there have been efforts to conserve this animal, there are still emu birds being sold.“ Emu ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Kiwi Flickr How much does an emu bird cost?? Finding an emu bird in the United States, at least according to our research, is extremely hard. If you’re able to find a seller, chicks, three to four months old, can cost $3,000 to $5,000, but one to seven-day-old chicks, if found, can cost less than $1,000; however, finding a chick younger than a week is very hard to find. Yearling emus can cost $11,000 to $19,000 for a sexed pair, while a pair older than two can cost even more, often as much as $25,000."

Synonyms List [show]The emu ( Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. The emu's range covers most of mainland Australia, but the Tasmanian emu and King Island emu subspecies became extinct after the European settlement of Australia in 1788. The bird is sufficiently common for it to be rated as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph); they forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. They drink infrequently, but take in copious amounts of water when the opportunity arises. Breeding takes place in May and June, and fighting among females for a mate is common."

"text": "\"Geri Johnson just sent 15 pounds of lean meat to a family in Nebraska who wanted something a little different on their Thanksgiving table this year. Unfortunately for Johnson, emu steaks are a little too different for most Americans. Ten years ago, this flightless, chubby bird that grows as tall as 6 feet was billed as America's next red meat. Its flesh is a nutritionist's dream — it's lean, low in cholesterol and high in iron and vitamin C. Emu connoisseurs attest the bird tastes like a fine filet mignon. But Americans just haven't taken a liking to it, and American emu farmers like Johnson are struggling to sell their steaks. \"\" My own brother says it tastes awesome, but he can't get past the mindset,\"\" said Johnson, who tends to about 50 of the birds with her husband at their farm in Gill, Mass. \"\"There are people who are just can't feel comfortable eating something besides pork, beef or chicken. \"\" A Tough Business The emu is native to Australia, where scientists believe it began roaming the Outback some 80 million years ago. The birds were originally imported to the United States as breeding stock for zoos, but a 1960 exportation ban in Australia has since barred emus from crossing the border. Emu farming from those original zoo stocks first took off in the United States during the late 1980s, and quickly became the fastest-growing segment of alternative agriculture. By the mid-1990s, emu farms from New England to Texas to Montana to California hosted packed, busy pens of the tall, fence-pacing birds."

"text": "\"Tweet (Natural News) Used for thousands of years by the Aborigine of Australia, emu oil treats a wide variety of skin issues, from scars to wrinkles and eczema. And yet, if we only utilize the oil topically, a whole spectrum of health benefits is missed. Allergies, inflammation, arthritis, headaches and cardiovascular disease all respond to this unusual oil. Derived from an ostrich-like bird native to Australia, emu oil is rich in fatty acids -- such as linoleic, oleic and stearic acids. Due to its composition, emu oil provides exceptional skin penetrability, which in turn encourages remarkable benefits. Emu oil is known to reduce:inflammation,bruising,muscle pain andstiffness. The oil also tackles stubborn cases of eczema, acne and wrinkles. Similarly, emu oil improves the appearance of scars, burns, stretch marks and sun damage. Many of these benefits are attributed to high levels of the following: Vitamin A -- helps repair skin damage through antioxidant properties Oleic acid -- regenerates skin cells and prevents wrinkles Sapogens -- agents that soften the skin Linoleic acid -- eases muscle and joint pain Terpine -- provides antiseptic action For all that, the rewards of emu oil aren't just skin deep. Taken internally, the oil alleviates an impressive number of health complaints."

"text": "\"Answer by oo oo Confidence votes 51.8KDreams of the world ending are very common and have alarmed dreamers for many thousands of years. Warfare, earthquakes, floods, and unusual weather all cause intense fear and uncertainty which in turn influence dreams. The dreamer's own beliefs, anxieties and religious or cultural traditions often appear and lend credibility to the dream in spite of most traditions' warning not to believe such things. These dreams are not accurate predictions of any impending catastrophe, but they consistently cause embarrassment to those who take them too seriously. I doesn't mean anything Dreams are made up of imagery that means something to the individual dreaming it. The images represent things in our subconscious that we haven't faced or haven't resolved in our waking hours. How you feel about 'the world ending' in the dream is how you feel about something in your real life; only you know. Was it scary, was it exciting, was it interesting, was it foreboding; connect it to how you really feel about something real and you will know what your dream meant. Dreams are very hard to decipher. If you're worried your dream means something you should probably calm down."

I would argue that this song is more relevant now than ever. And it’s about oppression and dystopia. Summary: This song is an insightful look at how the world is changing - it’s pointing out the irony of how this planet is becoming (has become) more and more focussed on flashing lights and loud sounds. The most important thing to take away from the song I believe comes from the third verse: “People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share. And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence.” It’s highlighting how modernity has taken us in a direction that no one really cares about - or more importantly - pays attention to the content of what we both hear and say. And yes, that applies to everyone. It’s funny how this is relevant more than ever in our modern age - you can apply this lyric most well and truly to Social Media and the internet. People will be right next to each other “saying things” on their phones to people, but literally speaking nothing."

Many of us likely wanted to be astronauts, painters, actors, chefs, musicians, firefighters, police, archaeologists (Indiana Jones), teachers, lawyers, doctors or perhaps even the president. Some of us might have been a bit more eccentric and wanted to be orthodontists, paleontologists or even entomologists. Many adults probably don't even know what an entomologist is. But you can bet your ass that there's a 5-year-old somewhere that really wants to be one, even if he can't pronounce the word. Indeed, the magical brain of a child perceives the world as an endless array of possibilities. Yet, a recent study in the academic journal Social Forces has revealed that only 6 percent of adults ended up in the careers they dreamt about as kids. The study didn't reveal why that is, however. Thus, it's an open question. Why don't the vast majority of people end up in the careers they wanted when they were kids?"

In general:– Safety and protection: In all cases (girl or boy) dreaming of baby is the symbol of the unconscious longing for security. There is nothing new – as we always are pursuing any kind of guarantees, so this part of our waking life comes in dreams with face of birth. – Work and success: To carry a baby (male or female) in dream symbolizes work (or many of them) and not easy one, but hard. Don’t worry now, just keep reading. Dreaming that you are carrying a baby (or someone else, it’s doesn’t change anything) indicates current tough times and shows a little of future, where you will need to carry your burden for a while and only after many troubles with much efforts (hard work) you will be able to reach your ambitious goals, but only after much efforts."

"text": "‘To Be Or Not To Be’ – Original text, translation, analysis, facts and performances‘ To be or not to be, that is the question’. Read Hamlet’s famous soliloquy by Shakespeare below, along with a modern translation and explanation of what ‘To be or not to be’ is about. We’ve also pulled together a bunch of facts about the famous soliloquy, and have the 5 most famous film performances of ‘to be or not to be’. ‘To be or not to be’ is the most famous soliloquy in the works of Shakespeare – probably, even, the most famous soliloquy anywhere. That is partly because the opening words are so interesting, memorable and intriguing but also because Shakespeare ranges around several cultures and practices to borrow the language for his images, and because he’s dealing here with profound concepts, putting complex philosophical ideas into the mouth of a character on a stage, communicating with an audience with a wide range of educational levels. ‘To Be Or Not To Be’: Original Words Spoken by Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover’d country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!"

The Medicine Walk and Ecopsychology You are invited to explore your relationships to nature and to your life’s journey through the medium of open time and unplanned travel in a natural place. This description is based on the way it was introduced to me by Steven Foster and Meredith Little, founders of the School of Lost Borders. The roots of this activity lie in an aquifer of ancient and nearly-universal practices; its forms reflect the modern fields of ecopsychology and transpersonal psychology. From a variety of sources, including psychology, environmental education and philosophy, natural history, the worldviews of land-centered peoples – both ancient and modern, and earth-centered spirituality, ecopsychology offers insights about human-nature relationships. Among ecopsychology’s central themes are that humans and nature are part of a larger whole, that nature (both inner and outer) is intrinsically healthy, that the illusion of a separation of humans from nature causes great suffering both for humans and for the natural environment, and that a deep and profound reconnection is both necessary and possible."

Consider what the plane is doing, who you are and where you are on the plane for further insight. What is the plane doing? Dreams about planes taking off may symbolize a new project, plan, relationship or opportunity may be about to \"\"take off\"\" or get started. Dreaming you are airborne may suggest you are reaching new heights or levels of achievement in your career or you may be reaching higher levels of spirituality or consciousness; may also represent attaining or reaching for your high ideals or goals in life. Hitting turbulence may symbolize obstacles along the way. If the plane is banking or turning left or right it may suggest that a slight detour from your “flight plan” is needed; or you have changed directions or your plans have changed or you may be “off course."

He shares the weight of her responsibilities, feels her pain, hears the beating of her heart; he loses himself in the beauty of her movements, desires to see the glow of love in her eyes but mostly he lusts after her in a way that is almost apologetically base.

You can't just assume it's about a boy's fantasy because of the lyric \"\"In a boy's dream\"\" Secondly, it might not be ALL about sex, but sex is a big part of it, and of Dave's music in general."

"text": "What Do Whales Mean In Dreams? Depending on whom you listen to the symbolic meaning of whales in dreams can vary dramatically. In most beliefs whales are a symbol of strength, spirituality and protection although they have also been interpreted as a sign of our darkness and the possibility of experiencing a loss in our lives. The meaning that whales represent in our dreams are often influenced by our experiences, beliefs and religion. While we can make assumptions and hypothesis about the meaning of whales in the end there is no exact meaning for every situation that a whale appears in a dream, but hopefully these interpreted meanings may give you a better idea of what whales may symbolize in your dreams. This article will explore the possible meaning of whales and break down how our perceptions and experiences influence our dreams. Lastly we’ll look into ways that we can try to break down these dreams and gain a better understanding of what they mean for us and how they may differ from other peoples interpretations of whales. The Interpretation of strength and spirituality Whales usually represent a big event in your life or a strong feeling of solitude. Some people believe that whales are associated with peace, serenity, spirituality and tranquility. The appearance of a whale in a dream can signify that everything is or will be o.k."

"text": "\"The Definition and Concept of Maya in Hinduismby Jayaram VAccording to many schools of Hinduism, the world is an illusion, a play of the supreme consciousness of God. It is a projection of things and forms that are temporarily phenomenal and sustain the illusion of oneness and permanence. The illusion of phenomenal world is created and sustained by stand alone objects thrown together either by an act of randomness or through the deliberate choice of conscious will. From the human body to a giant galaxy, each object in the material universe is what it is because of the aggregation of things that sustain its current state. Change one of them and the object becomes something else in time and space. Thus what we experience as our world and what we consider to be our existence are real in a limited sense and limited perspective. Our scriptures declare that creation is the play of consciousness. It differentiates itself into diverse things and in the end withdraws everything into itself for no apparent and specific reason because God does nothing with any particular aim or desire. Says the Yoga Vashista, \"\"The world is nothing but a mere vibration of consciousness in space. It seems to exist even as a goblin seems to exist in the eyes of the ignorant."

What do dreams mean? THEY say the rules of reality don’t apply in the fantasy world of dreams but in some way what you dream is connected to your reality. For years I have had the same reoccurring dream. I’m standing at the top of a mountain that’s covered for as far as the eye can see with baby birds that have fallen from their nest. They’re abandoned and starving to death. I try to pick them all up but there are too many of them. And so, week after week, the dream continues. Aside from nudging curiosity, I’d never really given my dream much thought until someone explained its significance to me."

Since you spend one-third of your day in bed it should not be a surprise that you dream about it. In general, a dream about a bed or a bedroom may be addressing your waking life issues concerning sex, intimacy and privacy. Bed Dream Meanings Dreaming about a bed may be suggesting a need for more sleep; or it may represent comfort and peace of mind. Dreaming of being in your own bed or bedroom may be representing the most intimate and private aspects of yourself, the part of you that you do not let others see, the secrets you keep or the desires you do not express, aspects of yourself that you are not even aware of, have repressed or you are denying, or the parts of you that you share only with a trusted intimate partner. It wouldn’t be surprising to have such a dream after sharing an intimate secret with someone or after have sex with someone for the first time. If you dream of sleeping in your bed, you may be becoming conscious or aware of the fact that you are, in fact, sleeping at the moment, and it could be a precursor to becoming lucid. A dream of sleeping in someone else’s bed (someone known to you) may be addressing your relationship with or sexual desires about this person."

In the novel, Jay Gatsby overcomes his poor past to gain an incredible amount of money and a limited amount of social cache in 1920s NYC, only to be rejected by the “old money” crowd. He then gets killed after being tangled up with them. Through Gatsby’s life, as well as that of the Wilsons’, Fitzgerald critiques the idea that America is a meritocracy where anyone can rise to the top with enough hard work. We will explore how this theme plays out in the plot, briefly analyze some key quotes about it, as well as do some character analysis and broader analysis of topics surrounding the American Dream in The Great Gatsby.

Highest counts are seen in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome, disseminated mast cell tumor, flea allergy, asthma, and some parasitic diseases. The level of eosinophilia does not predict the degree of eosinophilic infiltration of tissues, which can be significant even in the absence of eosinophilia. Eosinophilia results from heightened bone marrow production in response to specific stimuli (e.g., allergens, parasitic antigens, and products of tumor cells). Repeated exposure to an antigen produces a more rapid and dramatic eosinophilia. Eosinophils can kill parasites and may contribute to host defense against tumors. Eosinophil-derived products can also cause destruction of host tissue. Whether eosinophilic inflammation is beneficial or harmful varies according to the situation. • Basophils play a role in immune-mediated inflammation, especially anaphylaxis and cutaneous hypersensitivity, but specific stimuli are not well characterized. Basophils may participate in host rejection of parasites (especially ticks) and may play a role in tumor cytotoxicity."

A Lithognathus fish with a parasitic isopod, Cymothoa exigua, a fish parasite In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. [ 1] The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as \"\"predators that eat prey in units of less than one\"\". [ 2] Parasites include protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe and dodder. There are six major parasitic strategies of host exploitation, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), trophically transmitted parasitism (by being eaten), vector -transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation. Unlike predators, parasites, with the exception of parasitoids, typically do not kill their host, are generally much smaller than their host, and often live in or on their host for an extended period. Parasitism is a type of consumer-resource interaction. [ 3] Parasites of animals show a high degree of specialisation, and reproduce at a faster rate than their hosts. Classic examples include interactions between vertebrate hosts and tapeworms, flukes, the malaria-causing Plasmodium species, and fleas."

A niche includes the physical space in which they live, how they use the resources that are in that space, and how they interact with other organisms in that space. The interaction among organisms within or between overlapping niches can be characterized into five types of relationships: competition, predation, commensalism, mutualism and parasitism. The last three subtypes are classically defined as relationships exhibiting symbiosis, but predation and competition can also be considered as forms of symbiosis. Symbiosis refers to a close relationship in which one or both organisms obtain a benefit. Competition & Predation Predation is when one organism eats another organism to obtain nutrients. The organism that is eaten is called the prey. Examples of predation are owls that eat mice, and lions that eat gazelles. Competition is when individuals or populations compete for the same resource, and can occur within or between species. When organisms compete for a resource (such as food or building materials) it is called consumptive or exploitative competition."

The role of the snail, which prefers muddy, slightly acidic conditions, particularly areas associated with poor drainage, means that the incidence of liver fluke is far greater in the wetter areas of the country and in years when there is high summer rainfall. With the capacity of the snail to multiply rapidly (100,000 offspring in 3–4 months) along with the multiplication of the parasite within the snail, there is potential for very large numbers of parasites.

Most gardeners have had the experience of putting hours of hard work into a garden expecting a bountiful harvest only to have it lost due to some problem. Who are the culprits? They may be things we can see, like rabbits, birds, or insects, or they may be invisible, too small to be seen. Due to our warm temperatures, sandy soil, and humidity, Florida has more than its fair share of microscopic pests and pathogens. Plant-parasitic nematodes (Figure 1) can be among the most damaging and hard-to-control of these organisms. Figure 1. Diagram of a typical plant-parasitic nematode. ["

"text": "Darkfield Digital Image Gallery Tapeworm Scolex Tapeworms (class Cestoda) are a group of parasitic flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) that usually require two hosts, including an invertebrate as an intermediate. The more than 5,000 known species of cestodes are endoparasites, several of which are known to feed on humans. Unlike their cousins, the free-swimming, nonparasitic planaria, tapeworms are characterized by the complete absence of digestive tracts. The scolex at the anterior end of the cestode is a specialized body segment (or proglottid), which anchors the parasite to its host. Several different evolutionary strategies are adapted for this key anatomical feature in this class of flatworm. The scolex is usually covered with hooks or suckers and is used by helminth taxonomists as a key characteristic for identifying species of tapeworms. The pork tapeworm, Taenia solium has a scolex that features a double crown of 22 to 32 rostellar hooks and four simple, round suckers. The hooks fall into two size ranges (160 to 180 microns and 110 to 140 microns). As with other cestodes, the pork tapeworm fastens onto its host (primarily muscles for this species) and absorbs nutrients through its skin. This is the tapeworm that can infest humans if eaten in pork that has not been thoroughly cooked."

"text": "The Problem Of Parasites The problem of parasites in horses is, as you know, that all horses have ’em. But domesticated horses require worming vigilance to keep parasites from harming the horse, whilst horses in the wild have a natural ability to limit their impact. So, is the only acceptable level of parasites zero and can you do something to help your horse’s natural ability to keep parasites more in check? Sally Toye who is a highly respected Endurance GB rider found that the egg count changed in her two horses on Aloeride: “P. S. just worm tested both ponies and they have the lowest count ever which is nil, I think their guts are just fab… their counts have improved all year and I have used minimum wormers this year… so there is definitive proof that Aloeride works xx” Sally is of course not the only rider who noticed this, many others noticed that meaningful, everyday servings feed a healthily inhospitable environment. Deworming drugs fall into three classes ( macrocyclic lactones i.e. ivermectin and moxidectin; benzemidazoles i.e. fenbendazole; pyrimidines i.e. pyrantel). It is fair to say that their prescribing attitudes mimicked those of antibiotics in humans, so exactly the same concern surfaced, that of resistance. To quote the World Health Organisation: “Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi”. Now there’s a much more prudent use of antibiotics in humans as well as a changing approach in the use of anthelmintics in horses. The goal of modern deworming is a) to control the parasite load in the pasture through management and b) identify and treat individual horses that shed high levels of eggs into droppings. Not all horses do!"

"text": "Worming Your Guinea Pigs Please note that the advice given in this thread does not replace that of a qualified veterinarian. If you are interested in worming your guinea pigs, please discuss all options with your vet. Worming is not recommended for guinea pigs under the age of 6 months. It is a common practice to worm cats and dogs, and for farmers to worm their cattle and other livestock. The practice of worming rabbits is also on the increase to protect them from various parasites which can cause serious illness. Worming guinea pigs is not a “new†idea, it’s been around for a good few years, most notably practiced and advocated by the Cambridge Cavy Trust guinea pig hospital. But not many guinea pig owners or indeed vets have come across the suggestion to routinely worm piggies, and do not understand why it could be an important part of their care. Many experienced owners have never wormed their animals and those guineas may never had any problems; it is the experiences of those owners it is hard to dispute, and near impossible to change their minds. I aim to provide the much-needed information on worming guinea pigs but I do not wish to pressure owners into undertaking the practice. I will not judge anyone who remains against worming after reading this article because each person’s own experience and view is important to them; what I am trying to do is help owners make an educated decision about whether they want to worm their guineas."

A Lithognathus fish with a parasitic isopod, Cymothoa exigua, a fish parasite In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. [ 1] The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as \"\"predators that eat prey in units of less than one\"\". [ 2] Parasites include protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, and mosquitoes; fungi such as honey fungus and ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe and dodder. There are six major parasitic strategies, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), trophically transmitted parasitism (by being eaten), vector -transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation. Unlike predators, parasites, with the exception of parasitoids, typically do not kill their host, are generally much smaller than their host, and often live in or on their host for an extended period. Parasitism is a type of consumer-resource interaction. [ 3] Parasites of animals show a high degree of specialisation, and reproduce at a faster rate than their hosts. Classic examples include interactions between vertebrate hosts and tapeworms, flukes, the malaria-causing Plasmodium species, and fleas."

The three main types of organisms causing these conditions are protozoa (causing protozoan infection ), helminths ( helminthiasis ), and ectoparasites. [ 2] Protozoa and helminths are usually endoparasites (usually living inside the body of the host), while ectoparasites usually live on the surface of the host.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study was to provide a current survey of metazoan parasites of the Mediterranean garfish Belone belone gracilis Lowe, 1839 off Tunisian coast and their potential use as biological tags for discriminate stocks. Parasitological analysis of 453 specimens of B. b. gracilis along the eastern Tunisian coast revealed the presence of ten species of metazoan parasites: one monogenean Axine belones Abildgaard, 1794; four digeneans Lecithostaphylus retroflexus (Molin, 1859), Tergestia acanthocephala (Stossich, 1887) Stossich, 1899, Aponurus laguncula Looss, 1907 and Condylocotyla pilodora (metacercaria) Pearson et Prévot, 1985; one copepod Bomolochus bellones Burmeister, 1835; two isopods Irona nana Schioedte et Meinert, 1884 and Nerocila orbignyi (Guérin-Méneville, 1832); 1 acanthocephalan Telosentis exiguus (Von Linstow, 1901) and one nematod Anisakid larvae. Discriminant analysis using parasites as biological tags, allowed identifying two stocks of B. b. gracilis . Digenea L.retroflexus, A. laguncula and Anisakid larvae were the most important species in determining the position of sampled fishes from the central coast off Tunisia. Metacercaria C. pilodora characterized specimens from the Southern coast off Tunisia. These results were corroborated by comparing parameters of prevalence and mean abundance between zones. Discriminant analysis used for the separation of B. b. gracilis between seasons in both localities showed that a seasonal variation affected mainly specimens from the center suggesting seasonal move of fishes.

"text": "\"A North American block heater cord and plug A block heater warms an engine to increase the chances that the engine will start as well as warm up the vehicle faster than it normally would in extremely cold weather. The most common type is an electric heating element in the cylinder block, connected through a power cord often routed through the vehicle's grille. The block heater may replace one of the engine's core plugs. In this fashion, the heater element is immersed in the engine's coolant, which then keeps most of the engine warm. This type of heater does not come with a pump. They may also be installed in line with one of the radiator or heater hoses. Some heaters pump and circulate the engine coolant while heating, others only heat the still coolant in the reservoir. Block heaters that run directly on the vehicle's own gasoline or diesel fuel supply are also available; these do not require an external power source. The coolant is heated and circulated, usually by thermosiphon, through the engine and the vehicle's heater core. Heaters are also available for engine oil so that warm oil can immediately circulate throughout the engine during start up."

In fact, the cold months pose a lot more problems for them, one of which is diesel fuel gelling. Diesel fuel gelling happens when the paraffin usually present in diesel starts to solidify when the temperature drops. At 32 degrees, the wax in liquid form will crystallize and leave the fuel tank clouded. At 10-15 degrees, it will finally start to gel and clog the tank and fuel filters. Gel Point and Pour Point in Diesel Fuel Gelling Gel point is the temperature point at which the diesel finally turns solid and can no longer flow through the fuel lines. Pour point, on the other hand, is the factor which determines the temperature at which a fluid starts to solidify. In order for the diesel to flow better again, the gel point temperature should be brought back to the un-gel point which is around the temperature of the pour point. Unfortunately, the solidified waxes usually remain solid until its remix temperature is used to finally remelt or liquefy it. Symptoms of Diesel Fuel Gelling There are several signs that can tell you that your diesel has already gelled."

"text": "\"Who developed the Duramax Diesel? The 6.6L Duramax diesel is the result of a joint venture between General Motors and Isuzu named DMAX Ltd, which was announced in December of 1998. The partnership allowed General Motors to take full advantage of Isuzu's expertise in developing and producing diesel engines. At the time, GM's 6.2L/6.5L Detroit diesel hadn't been near as successful as the company had hoped, but Isuzu had earned a favorable reputation, particularly in commercial and industrial markets. Reports indicate that Isuzu was primarily responsible for the engine's design, while GM's engineers were tasked with programming, calibrating, and integrated the engine's electronic systems in a manner suitable for their application.

If so, I’m sure you were as frustrated as me when I went looking for mine!The designers at GM must have thought it was a great idea to put the plugin where they did. Seems to make sense in some ways. It’s relatively easy to get to, as long as you know where to look. Where you ask? Well, on my 2001, the plugin is located in the front driver’s side wheel well near the front, behind the tire. It’s probably easier to get to it if you turn your wheels to the left first. On the 2001 there is a plastic piece that is between the wheel and the engine. Down near the frame you should be able to see the cord of the block heater. It might be coiled up or it might be sandwiched like a letter S over and over (there is Christmas candy that looks like this, like a ribbon)."

"text": "John Delich, Senior Program Manager at FLIR Systems (2009-present)Answered Mar 24, 2017 · Author has 566 answers and 1.1m answer views If one’s car is leaking coolant, it means that there is a hole in the cooling system. Most cars rely on liquid (a solution of antifreeze & water) circulated through a radiator, which cools the liquid and removes heat from the engine, to cool the engine enough for it to operate properly. This liquid is circulated through a pressurized system by a pump. If there is not sufficient coolant in the cooling system, as a “bunch of antifreeze” would seem to indicate, one can do quite extensive damage to a car’s engine if one continues to drive the car. Without the cooling system operating properly, the vehicle will overheat, and that is what can cause the damage. So, I would not recommend driving the vehicle unless you can maintain sufficient coolant in the system, and then only to a place were it can be repaired. You may need several gallons of water to attempt this feat, and if you are at all unsure about how much coolant is enough, frankly the safe thing to do is have the vehicle towed to where it can be repaired. If you can determine from where the coolant is leaking, you will have some idea about how to repair the vehicle if you intend to attempt the repair yourself. It would not seem to require much detective work to detect the leak of a lot of coolant, but there are pressure testers that are used to find smaller leaks. The pressure tester is basically a small pump that adds pressure to the cooling system, then the vehicle is left to sit preferably overnight."

I'm moving to Williston, ND from Houston, TX and know that it would be smarter to get the heater installed up there, but it's been hard to find price estimates (let alone much about Williston) online.1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi Annette There are engine block frost plug heaters, lower radiator hose heaters and oil pan heaters. Used to be the lower radiator hose was the most popular and easiest to install, (and replace). Most factory heaters now are the frost plug type and are pretty dependable as far as life expectancy although more pricey and time consuming to install after market. At least replace your engine oil with 0-30, 5W-20 or 5W-30 when you get there - if you have something heavier in it now. When you arrive into the colder weather, be sure and keep an eye on your tire pressure, (tires lose pressure as they get colder) and be sure and check the spare occasionally.

The pressure cap on the expansion tank has a spring-loaded valve which opens above a certain pressure. A water-cooled cooling system A water-cooled engine block and cylinder head have interconnected coolant channels running through them. At the top of the cylinder head all the channels converge to a single outlet. A pump, driven by a pulley and belt from the crankshaft, drives hot coolant out of the engine to the radiator, which is a form of heat exchanger. Unwanted heat is passed from the radiator into the air stream, and the cooled liquid then returns to an inlet at the bottom of the block and flows back into the channels again."

In theory, turning your heater on high should slightly cool your engine. The way your heater works is, it taps into the car's cooling system. And takes heat from the engine coolant and uses it to warm up air, which then gets blown into the cabin. The coolant then flows back to the radiator and loses even more heat."

Cholecystokinin is secreted by I-cells in the small intestine and induces contraction of the gallbladder, relaxes the sphincter of Oddi, reduces of gastric acid secretion, increases bile acid production in the liver, delays gastric emptying, and induces digestive enzyme production in the pancreas. Cholecystokinin ( CCK or CCK-PZ; from Greek chole, \"\"bile\"\"; cysto, \"\"sac\"\"; kinin, \"\"move\"\"; hence, move the bile-sac ( gallbladder)) is a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein. Cholecystokinin, previously called pancreozymin, is synthesized and secreted by enteroendocrine cells in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. Its presence causes the release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gallbladder, respectively, and also acts as a hunger suppressant.

Under various abnormal conditions thetotal numbers or proportions, or both, may be characteristically increased, decreased, or unaltered, and leukocytes may be present in other tissues and organs. Leukocytes representthree lines of development from primitive elements: myeloid, lymphoid, and monocytic series. On the basis of features observed with various methods of staining with polychromatic dyes (for example, Wright stain) cells of the myeloid series are frequently termed granularleukocytes, or granulocytes; cells of the lymphoid and monocytic series also have granules in the cytoplasm, but owing to their tiny size and varied properties (frequently not clearlyvisualized with routine methods), lymphocytes and monocytes are sometimes termednongranular or agranular leukocytes. Granulocytes are commonly known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (also polynuclear or multinuclear leukocytes), inasmuch as the mature nucleus is divided into two to five rounded or ovoid lobes that are connected withthin strands or small bands of chromatin; they consist of three distinct types: neutrophils,eosinophils, and basophils, named on the basis of the staining reactions of the cytoplasmicgranules. Cells of the lymphocytic series occur as three types, based on the identity of theirsurface receptors: B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and null cells. Morphologically, there aretwo, somewhat arbitrarily designated, normal varieties: small and large lymphocytes; theformer represent the ordinary forms and are conspicuously more numerous in the circulatingblood and normal lymphoid tissue; the latter may be found in normal circulating blood but aremore easily observed in lymphoid tissue. The small lymphocytes have nuclei that are deeply or densely stained (the chromatin is coarse and bulky) and almost fill the cells, with only a slight rim of cytoplasm around the nuclei; the large lymphocytes have nuclei that areapproximately the same size as, or only slightly larger than, those of the small forms, butthere is a broader, easily visualized band of cytoplasm around the nuclei. Cells of themonocytic series are usually larger than the other leukocytes, and are characterized by a relatively abundant, slightly opaque, pale blue or blue-gray cytoplasm that contains myriadextremely fine reddish-blue granules."

Indicate important differences between hormonal and neural controls of body functioning The means of control and the speed of the endocrine system are very different from those of the nervous system. • The nervous system regulates the activity of muscles and glands via electrochemical impulses delivered by neurons, and those organs respond within milliseconds. • The endocrine system influences metabolic activity by means of hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the blood to be transported throughout the body. Binding of a hormone to cellular receptors initiates responses that typically occur after a lag period of seconds or even days. But, once initiated, those responses tend to be much more prolonged than those induced by the nervous system. o Reproduction o Growth and Development o Maintenance of Electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of the blood o Regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance o Mobilization of body defenses2.

"text": "In Disney’s Pixar acclaimed success Ratatouille, Chef Gusteau states: “Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell, there is excellence all around you; You only need be aware to stop and savour it!” Chef Gusteau’s extended metaphor clearly refers to the infinite combinations of flavors that delight our palate and make food intake a pleasurable experience. Flavor per se is the combined sensory impression of food, and it is determined by the five basic qualities of taste: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami (the “savory” taste associated with monosodium glutamate or MSG). Perception of these qualities entails the interaction of a substance from our food, or tastant, with specific taste receptor proteins residing in the taste buds of the tongue. The discovery of taste receptor proteins, over a decade ago, represented a major milestone in taste research. Knowledge of these receptor proteins allowed scientists to unmask key components involved in taste perception, providing a deeper understanding of this convoluted process. Furthermore, this improved understanding led to the discovery that taste receptors reside in parts of the body other than the oral cavity, revealing a new role for these proteins in nutrient sensing in the gut and in the regulation of metabolic processes. This newly discovered function has given rise to the notion that taste receptor dysfunction might contribute to the development of metabolic disorders. For instance, in the United States, the increasing consumption of sweetened products, a growing concern for medical authorities, has been linked to the rising incidence of ailments such as obesity and type II diabetes. The link between sweet and bitter taste receptors and the development of these diseases has become an area of growing scientific and medical interest over the last decade."

A Breakdown of the Acidity Inside the Stomach Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images/Laurence Monneretby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated December 27, 2017Your stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, but the p H of your stomach isn't necessarily the same as the p H of the acid. The p H of your stomach varies, from 1-2 up to 4-5. When you eat, the stomach releases enzymes called proteases as well as hydrochloric acid to aid in digestion. By itself, the acid doesn't really do much for digestion, but the proteases that cleave proteins work best in an acidic environment or low p H, so after a high-protein meal, your stomach p H may drop to as low as 1 or 2. However, buffers quickly raise the p H back to 3 or 4. After the meal has been digested, your stomach p H returns to a resting level of about 4 or 5. Your stomach secretes acid in response to food, so first thing in the morning you can expect a slightly acidic stomach p H, but not an acidic level representative of pure hydrochloric acid.

Epidemiology is the area of healthcare that deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases, illnesses and other factors relating to health. What is Epidemiology? Epidemiology is a field where trained epidemiologists study patterns of frequency and the causes and effects of diseases in human populations. Epidemiology provides the scientific footings for evidence-based medicine and allows placement of strategies for improvement in public health. Epidemiology is often referred to as the cornerstone of modern public health research and practice and it relies on a variety of relevant public health areas, including biology, biostatistics, social sciences, and assessing risk of exposure to a threat. What is an Epidemiologist? Epidemiologists study outbreaks of diseases, the causes, locations, and how various communities are affected, utilizing relative information to aid in the prevention of future outbreaks. Epidemiologists help to keep the public informed of methods to maintain and improve public health. Epidemiologists work at universities and for government organizations including the (CDC) Centers for Disease Control, National Institute of Health (NIH), or the World Health Organization (WHO)."

The illness was caused by a previously unrecognized pathogen, Escherichia coli O157: H7. Since August 1982, sporadic cases of this illness have been reported to CDC, and stool specimens have been examined from patients meeting the following case definition: a person with bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and low-grade or no fever, whose stool culture is negative for recognized pathogens including Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and Yersinia and for ova and parasites. During 1983, stool specimens were examined from 35 ill persons in 16 states. E. coli O157: H7 was identified in 10 specimens collected a mean of 4.7 days after onset of illness. The culture-negative specimens were collected a mean of 7.6 days after onset.

They seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education, and health policy. Work Environment Epidemiologists work in offices and laboratories, usually at health departments for state and local governments, in hospitals, and at colleges and universities. Epidemiologists are also employed in the federal government by agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some do fieldwork to conduct interviews and collect samples for analyses. Fieldwork may bring epidemiologists into contact with infectious disease, but the risk is minimal because they receive appropriate training and take extensive precautions before interacting with samples or patients. How to Become an Epidemiologist Epidemiologists need at least a master’s degree from an accredited college or university. Most epidemiologists have a master’s degree in public health (MPH) or a related field, and some have completed a doctoral degree in epidemiology or medicine. Pay The median annual wage for epidemiologists was $70,820 in May 2016. Job Outlook Employment of epidemiologists is projected to grow 9 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations."

"text": "Section 7: Analytic Epidemiology As noted earlier, descriptive epidemiology can identify patterns among cases and in populations by time, place and person. From these observations, epidemiologists develop hypotheses about the causes of these patterns and about the factors that increase risk of disease. In other words, epidemiologists can use descriptive epidemiology to generate hypotheses, but only rarely to test those hypotheses. For that, epidemiologists must turn to analytic epidemiology. Key feature of analytic epidemiology = Comparison group The key feature of analytic epidemiology is a comparison group. Consider a large outbreak of hepatitis A that occurred in Pennsylvania in 2003. ( 38) Investigators found almost all of the case-patients had eaten at a particular restaurant during the 2–6 weeks (i.e., the typical incubation period for hepatitis A) before onset of illness. While the investigators were able to narrow down their hypotheses to the restaurant and were able to exclude the food preparers and servers as the source, they did not know which particular food may have been contaminated. The investigators asked the case-patients which restaurant foods they had eaten, but that only indicated which foods were popular. The investigators, therefore, also enrolled and interviewed a comparison or control group — a group of persons who had eaten at the restaurant during the same period but who did not get sick."

You typically work with government agencies, responding to emergencies such as sudden outbreaks of known illnesses (like the flu or measles) or attempting to identify unknown diseases. It may sound like science fiction in the making, but without this epidemiology job and many other public health careers, the situation would be much worse and even potentially deadly. What is the average salary of an Epidemiologist? The average salary of an Epidemiologist was $70,820 as of May 2016, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The lowest-paid 10 percent of Epidemiologists earn less than $46,870 annually, while the highest-paid 10 percent make more than $114,510. Epidemiologist income for the middle 50 percent range from $56,780 to $89,840 per year, which means you’re likely to earn more than $50,000 per year early in your epidemiology job. The factors that influence Epidemiologist income include the industry and location of employment."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Epidemiology (disambiguation). \"\" Clinical Epidemiology\"\" redirects here. For the journal, see Clinical Epidemiology (journal). Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where) and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations. In short, trying to work out why certain people are getting ill. It is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review ). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences. [ 1]Major areas of epidemiological study include disease causation, transmission, outbreak investigation, disease surveillance, forensic epidemiology, occupational epidemiology, screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects such as in clinical trials. Epidemiologists rely on other scientific disciplines like biology to better understand disease processes, statistics to make efficient use of the data and draw appropriate conclusions, social sciences to better understand proximate and distal causes, and engineering for exposure assessment."

Most epidemiologists are divided into two basic groups: research and clinical. Research epidemiologists perform highly specified study on specific infectious diseases for the sake of prevention and control. Clinical epidemiologists work to stop or prevent infectious outbreaks and most often work in medical facilities. Both groups require similar training, but at some point in your education, you will need to take additional clinical or research-type classes relative to your chosen specialty."

"text": "\"Epidemiology The modern western medical tradition uses the scientific method to understand patterns of disease. Epidemiology is the name given to this kind of research. Epidemiologists are interested in learning about the causes of diseases and how to cure or control them. They also track the frequency and geographic distribution of diseases over time. In addition, they study the causal relationships between diseases. For instance, epidemiologists from the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia work in countries throughout the world to understand how HIV infection spreads from community to community and why some untreated individuals do not go on to develop AIDS. Epidemiologists find it useful to make a distinction between epidemic and endemic diseases. Epidemic diseases are ones that are often highly contagious but are not always present in a community. They appear, rise rapidly in the number of cases, and then decline or even disappear. Measles, influenza, and the plague are examples of epidemic diseases."

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is one of more than 100 non-polio enteroviruses. This virus was first identified in California in 1962. How common is EV-D68 in the United States? Small numbers of EV-D68 have been reported regularly to CDC since 1987. However, during 2014 the number of people reported with confirmed EV-D68 infection was much greater than that reported in previous years. We can’t predict whether EV-D68 will be a common type of enterovirus detected this year or in future seasons. That’s because a mix of enteroviruses circulates every year, and different types of enteroviruses can be common in different years. What time of the year are people most likely to get infected? In the United States, you are more likely to get infected with enteroviruses in the summer and fall."

A. is a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which is an international association of churches in full communion with the Church of England. Each national or regional church in the Anglican Communion has full autonomy. The Episcopal Church in the U. S. A. officially separated from the Church of England after the Revolutionary War. Is your church Protestant or Catholic? The Episcopal Church represents a “middle way” between Protestantism and Catholicism. Anglicans participated in the necessary reforms of the Church in the 16th century. However, we attempt to follow the ancient, apostolic Church’s organizational pattern, with local or national congregations organized under the rule of their own bishops. You will find very “high church” Episcopal parishes (our word for churches) and very “low church”. Most fall somewhere in the middle."

His mother's side was Yankee Episcopalian. His parents married in an Episcopalian church and Goldwater regarded himself generally as Episcopalian throughout his life, although he did not regularly attend services.

I certainly did not know that when I underwent communion in my religious days.

But colonies soon adopted laws that limited religious freedom and forced to people to pay taxes to support churches they did not believe in. Dissenters started protesting to abolish those laws. An important change came in 1786 when Virginia passed the Statute for Religious Freedom. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the new law served as a model for the First Amendment. It established a clear separation of church and state and was one of Jefferson’s proudest accomplishments. Most of the early colonists in America came from England. Many who settled in the South—the Plantation colonies—belonged to the Church of England, or Anglican Church. In Virginia, ministers were required to preach Christianity according to the “doctrine, rites and religion” practiced by the Church of England."

Denomination, I believe you are referring to, is, according to Websters, is a religious organization unit of a series of uniting local congregations in a single legal and administrative body. OR it could be a value or sizes. In regards to the religious organizations, for example, I am a Christian, but I attend an independent fundamental Baptist church, which is a branch Christianity. There are several other branches of Christianity such as Pentecostal, Protestant, Salvation Army, Mormon, Four Square, Mennonite, Amish, etc. Hope this is what you wanted and helps you out."

Clausura. These are key terms in a new vocabulary that accompanies an entirely new way of life for many Christians. But consulting a Spanish-English dictionary will help little in understanding this growing phenomenon among Roman Catholics and, more recently, Protestants of several denominational affiliations, including Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Baptists, and Dutch Reformed. The terms do, however, signal the Spanish roots of the Cursillo (pronounced “cur-SEE-yoh”) de Cristiandad, literally “little courses in Christianity.” The methods and techniques of the Cursillo were developed in the 1940s by a team of Spanish laymen, chief of whom was Eduardo Bonnin, a psychologist. The Cursillo was recognized as a powerful tool for church renewal by the local bishop, Juan Hervas, who energetically promoted and propelled the Cursillo into a worldwide movement."

She was raised Presbyterian. She told me that she doesn’t need to be baptized in the Catholic Church, because she already was baptized in her church. That doesn’t sound right to me, because when my own father became a Catholic years ago, he had to be rebaptized, even though he had been baptized as a child in the Episcopal church. Is the RCIA instructor right about this? – Dave A: Canon 845.1 couldn’t be clearer: the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and holy orders cannot be repeated. This is because by their very nature, they imprint a character on the recipient, which after its conferral can never be taken away. There is an amusing-yet-sad story told about the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (331-363 A. D.), who had been baptized a Christian but later renounced his faith, reinstituted the worship of the pagan Roman gods and goddesses, and persecuted the Christians who resisted. Having been told that baptism imprinted a special mark upon his soul, Julian sat in the bath and tried vainly to scrub that mark off of himself, in an attempt to undo his Christian baptism."

"text": "The Secular C. S. Lewis: Neil Postman’s Unlikely Influence on Evangelicals May 2, 2013 By Arthur W. Hunt IIITweet He was basically a secular Jew, and I am basically a conservative Christian, but he taught me more than almost any Christian I can think of (C. S. Lewis?).—Dr. T. David Gordon Dr. Gordon’s comment, which appeared in an online post among other recollections of Neil Postman (Rosen, 2003), demonstrates how well the media theorist and educator who passed away in October 2003, is held in high regard by a selection of evangelical academics and scholars. To rank Postman up there with the author and apologist C. S. Lewis is no small matter for a Christian educator like Gordon who teaches Greek and Religion at Grove City College in western Pennsylvania. This is not to say that the entire evangelical community is familiar with Postman or would agree with the basic thrust of his writings, for evangelicalism is a big pond with an assortment of diverse fish, many paying no attention whatsoever to the water in which they swim. It would be more accurate to say that it is a particular kind of evangelical fish that likes to quote Postman—a reflective fish, a Reformed fish, a confessional fish, a fish out of water. This article attempts to explain why certain evangelicals consider Postman, if not their favorite teacher, at least one of their favorite teachers, despite never having sat in a classroom with him or ever hearing of something called the New York School. First, a definition of evangelicalism is in order, coupled with a description of the sort of evangelical that affectionately leans upon Postman. Second, Postman’s philosophical outlook is compared and contrasted with these evangelicals to ascertain the intersecting lines of agreement relating to a critical assessment of American culture. Finally, some samples of evangelical scholarship that rely heavily on Postman’s work are reviewed. What Is an Evangelical Anyway?"

The concept has its origins in feudalism, when theimmediately superior feudal lord would inherit property that would otherwise be left without an owner.

The Great Charter is truly great, because it was the first legal document to establish that leaders did not have arbitrary power, granted under Divine Authority, but instead were subject to the law of the land. The feudal barons forced King John of England to sign the Magna Carta in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their rights. In a way, it was the world's very first written Constitution. The charter was a major part of the process that led to the rule of constitutional law in the English speaking world, an ideal which was eventually transported to the New World. It would inspire the Founding Fathers to draft a new document, the United States Constitution. As a tribute to its influence, a copy of the Magna Carter is housed in the Temple of Founding History, the National Archives, in Washington D. C. English Text of the Magna Carta [Preamble] Edward by the grace of God King of England, lord of Ireland and duke of Aquitaine sends greetings to all to whom the present letters come.

( July 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Lost, mislaid, and abandoned property are categories of the common law of property which deals with personal property or chattel which has left the possession of its rightful owner without having directly entered the possession of another person. Property can be considered lost, mislaid or abandoned depending on the circumstances under which it is found by the next party who obtains its possession. There is an old saying that possession is nine-tenths of the law, perhaps dating back centuries. This means that in most cases, the possessor of a piece of property is its rightful owner without evidence to the contrary. More colloquially, this may be called finders, keepers. The contradiction to this principle is theft by finding, which may occur if conversion occurs after finding someone else's property. The rights of a finder of such property are determined in part by the status in which it is found. Because these classifications have developed under the common law of England, they turn on nuanced distinctions."

Based on fiscal year 2010 statistics, a population of almost 309 million US residents spent a combined total of $52.3 billion on state lotteries during the year. This breaks down to every person in the US having spent $169.25 on lottery tickets pursuing the elusive get-rich-quick fantasy. In contrast, the Commerce Department reported in early 2006 that Americans' personal savings rate dropped into negative numbers in 2005, which hasn't been seen since the Great Depression. This means that, after paying taxes, people spent all their disposable income and also had to dip into their personal savings to help finance purchases. The Bureau of Economic Analysis recently released figures for the first three quarters of 2010, showing that the savings rate has risen into positive territory at around 5.7 percent."

For example, start-up costs or payments to subjects participating in a research study might be paid through an imprest checking account, which would then be reimbursed from the Office of Sponsored Research or other appropriate funds. The initial funding for an imprest checking account is from the University's unrestricted endowment income pool and must be returned to the pool when the imprest checking account is closed. The imprest checking accounts are authorized and established when timing of disbursements is sensitive and critical to management objectives. Restrictions on Use Under no circumstances should imprest funds be used for the following:making stipend paymentsmaking payments for personal servicespayment to vendorsloans and advances to employees There should be no deposits to the account other than account replenishment checks or checks issued for increasing the imprest bank balance. Bank Account Balances The balance in an imprest checking account should equal approximately two months' operating cash needs (i.e., two months' average expenditures and charges). Departments should periodically review activity and the balance in each imprest account to determine if the account is funded appropriately, and make changes accordingly. Any imprest bank account that becomes inactive should be closed in a timely manner. Account Replenishment At a minimum, imprest checking accounts should be replenished monthly. If replenishment is needed more or less often, the balance in the account may not be in keeping with the purpose of the account."

"text": "\"Correct all you're your grammar errors instantly. Try it now.escheat Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Escheat The power of a state to acquire title to property for which there is no owner. The most common reason that an escheat takes place is that an individual dies intestate, meaningwithout a valid will indicating who is to inherit his or her property, and without relatives who arelegally entitled to inherit in the absence of a will. A state legislature has the authority to enact an escheat statute. In feudal England, escheat was a privilege exclusively given to the king. The policy of inheritancewas to preserve the wealth of noble families by permitting one individual to inherit an entire estate. There was no writing of wills that would leave property to several heirs because that would have theeffect of breaking up the estate. In addition, the law established a hierarchy of heirs who stood in line to inherit the estate. If there was no living person of a designated class to inherit, the king tookthe property by escheat."

Answer: To paraphrase our ex-president, that depends on what your definition of \"\"good\"\" is. The deposit represented by the check will escheat to the appropriate state treasury at the legal time for such events. But the claim represented by the check is valid for as long as the state's escheat law provides for. The difference is that a claim for the funds will have to be placed with the state treasury after escheatment. But the bank won't have to honor the check after it has escheated the deposit.

In the case of a promissory note, through which one party promises to pay another party a predetermined sum, the party receiving the payment is known as the payee. The party making the payment is known as the payer. For coupon payments from bonds, the party receiving the coupon is the payee and the bond issuer is referred to as the payer. Investment management transactions frequently have payee accounts that receive payments for the benefit of a client's separate account.

"text": "\"How to Get Started in Using Aromatherapy Essential Oils Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to promote health and well-being, a form of treatment that has become more common and accepted in recent years. The most frequent way of using essential oils is through massage, although essential oils can also be used in a variety of other ways. The three primary modes of using essential oils are: topical application, inhalation via diffusers, or ingestion. Topical applications are most often for muscular aches and pains, and as support for skin conditions and rejuvenation. When used topically, essential oils are most often diluted in a carrier oil, such as Almond, Hazelnut, Olive, or another “fatty acid. ”Inhalation is commonly used for the psychological effects of oils, as the olfactory sense organs are directly tied to the brain's emotional centers. Inhalation is often also employed for sinus and bronchial congestion, along with other breathing ailments. In certain cases, ingestion is prescribed. Capsules of Peppermint essential oil have been shown to be effective in scientific studies on the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, a debilitating condition thought to be the result of rampant bacterial grown in the intestines. The list of the proven efficacy of essential oils continues to grow."

Mixing them together is going to change the frequency of the oil and it may not have the same results as they would if you did them individually. It is, however, okay to layer them. The oils absorb into the skin rapidly so you can put an oil on top of another oil. Some like to wait a few minutes in between or apply it to another part of the body (a vita flex point, perhaps?) Q: How many drops are in a 5ml and 15ml bottle? A: Around 100 in a 5ml and 300 in a 15ml, depending on the viscosity of the oil. Q: Can I take too much or over apply? Can I experience detox symptoms?"

However, I only recommend products that I personally love and use myself!. I am most likely going to piss off some people with this post, but the information that I found was too good to keep to myself and keep you guys in the dark. As always, you should do your own research and question everything (even me!!). I ALMOST fell for the ploy. I got really excited because I felt like I was about to embark on a journey into the world of “top quality essential oils”. I thought that the lines I was being fed about these oils being “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” (or “CPTG”), “100% pure therapeutic grade”, and “therapeutic quality” meant that these essential oils HAD TO BE THE BEST. I was about to find out that all of these descriptions meant nothing in the eyes of the FDA and the aromatherapy world; they were just that, descriptions. In my ever growing quest to find the healthiest options in my life, I began to wonder what about my essential oils?

Having certain chronic ailments makes you more susceptible to illness. Bacteria and germs are not always the enemy. We all have a certain amount of bacteria on our skin and in our digestive systems. They are necessary for us to survive. They are the friendly bacteria. Our body needs them to help us digest our foods, for our body to assimilate the nutrients in our foods. Most bacteria on the skin are harmless. Of course, we all can get exposed to some really nasty germs too. Just about all essential oils will help the immune system."

Children are such precious blessings. Essential oils can be a huge help to you as a mother ~ you’ll be ready for anything!Essential oils for Newborns and Babies It’s important to use nothing but the most pure and safe, therapeutic-grade essential oils because store-bought oils can have solvents, pesticides, synthetics and other chemicals. You cannot tell by looking at the label. Remember, everything we put onto our skin also goes into our body. No oils are more thoroughly tested to be pure and safe than do TERRA. That is why we trust them for our family, because we know they are free of pesticides, fillers and contaminants. Essential oils for newborns and babies should be used minimally and only as-needed for the first 3 months. Always dilute essential oils for babies and children We ALWAYS dilute for little ones to avoid irritation or sensitization, to aid in absorption and also to expose the babies to a lower amount of the oils."

"text": "What is Essential Oils Allergy? There is a long list of potentially toxic essential oils that should be avoided when you have a cat in your home. Some of these essential oils are used in food additives, cleaning products, insect repellents and shampoos. Use caution when using these products or simply avoid products that contain these essential oils. Cats are very sensitive to smells and they will avoid areas that contain these oils. If you notice your cat avoiding certain rooms or areas, look around for the possible cause and remove any candles or products that contain essential oils. Some of the most common and toxic essential oils to cats include oregano, bay leaf, savory, cedar leaf, parsley, sage, hyssop, lavender, eucalyptus, Cyprus, mint, citronella, clove, caraway, ginger, chamomile, rosemary, pine, thyme, peppermint, lemon, tea tree oil, cinnamon bark oil, wintergreen and oils that contain phenols. Essential oils can be dangerous to cats as they are absorbed into the bloodstream and then metabolized in your cat’s liver because they do not have glucuronyl transferase, a liver enzyme. Most mammals have a natural detoxification mechanism called hepatic glucuronidation but cats do not have this. Whether ingested, inhaled or applied topically, cats are much more susceptible to essential oils than most other mammals."

S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) at www.osha.gov. OSHA standards developed in 1970 were passed to protect employees from harmful work conditions. The bloodborne pathogens (BBP) regulation was added to OSHA standards in 1993. It reads, in part: \"\"The bloodborne pathogens standard applies to all employees with occupational exposure to blood and/or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), even if no actual exposure incidents have occurred.\"\" Occupational exposure is defined as: \"\"Any reasonably anticipated SKIN, EYE, MUCOUS MEMBRANE, or parenteral contact with blood (and/or OPIM) that may result from the performance of an employee's duties.\"\" That means Estheticians MUST wear gloves.

According to bls.gov, estheticians can expect to make a median annual salary of $28,920. There are several things that can affect an esthetician's salary. If an esthetician works privately, he or she will be paid more than those estheticians working for a spa. Medical estheticians are also paid more than spa estheticians. Medical estheticians are specialists who work in a medical facility. The salary of an esthetician can also be affected by location. Since there are more people in a city who require the personal services that estheticians provide, estheticians working in a metropolitan area will generally earn more than those working in a rural location. Furthermore, the cost of living is higher in highly populated areas which also explains the increase in pay. Experience in the industry will further impact salary."

Estheticians are needed in salons and spas to provide facials, waxing, pore cleansing and exfoliating treatments. Some estheticians choose to open their own salons to provide these services, while others are employed by companies. While working at a salon or spa, especially in a resort setting, estheticians may offer European facials or skin treatments, body wraps, skin analysis or aromatherapy."

"text": "Skin Health Acne Treatment Can a Licensed Esthetician Treat Acne? By Angela Palmer Updated September 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Can a licensed esthetician treat acne? In some cases, yes. Estheticians specialize in cosmetic, rather than medical, skin care treatments. While they can't prescribe acne medications or treat some of the more serious forms of acne, they can help you care for your skin and perform professional treatments. If you have cystic acne or severe acne, it is likely that you will need prescription medications and you will need to see a dermatologist. As a physician, a dermatologist is able to prescribe topical or systemic medications. They are also able to carry out procedures such as chemical peel, laser therapy, drainage and extractions that estheticians cannot do or are limited in doing in certain states. What an Esthetician Can Do to Keep Your Skin Clear Here's a rundown of what your esthetician can do for you that may help keep acne breakouts at bay: Estheticians perform facial treatments.

"text": "The Skinny on Skin Peels What Are Facial Peels? Facial peels are products that are applied to the skin in order to remove dead cells and expose the fresh, softer skin below. The term is also used to describe the treatment you receive when a peel product is applied to your skin. Estheticians use mild facial peels that affect only the outermost layer the epidermis — skin that’s most hardened, and no longer “alive.” Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other similar medical professionals apply peels that delve deeper into the skin’s “live” dermal layer. How Do Peels & Exfoliation Differ? The term exfoliation refers to any procedure that sloughs away dead skin to reveal softer, fresh skin below, and that includes facial peels. We can exfoliate our skin manually with scrubs or a microdermabrasion procedure, or chemically by applying products such as peels. Any method that helps remove dead, crusty skin is a form of exfoliation. Doing something as simple as using a washcloth to remove product will help exfoliate your skin."

When I started writing this blog in 2009, my intention was to educate others on how best to care for their own skin by separating facts from fiction. What was revealed to me over time was how so many estheticians from around the globe have used my information as continuing education in their own esthetics practices. Along with other posts I have written exclusively for estheticians, here’s some helpful tips for becoming a successful esthetician. What tips do you have for a new esthetician right out of school? It is a fact that a large percentage of people who go through the effort and investment of attending and graduating from esthetics school will never end up practicing esthetics or will do so for a short time. I believe this is because they could not find a job or if they did, the job was not the right fit for them. My advice is to explore every option for employment, but be sure to only apply for a position that best suits your style and personality. ( Which school to attend? Read this post . )"

A smaller and fairly thin body, this species of wolf falls in between Coyote and Gray Wolf.

"text": "Elk, also known as wapiti or red deer, enjoy large populations in North America, primarily in western parts of the United States and Canada. These large relatives of deer are also found in smaller populations in other parts of the world, in protected native groups or introduced populations. Their preference for open woodlands and a range of elevations make many states habitable for elk, though their current range is much smaller than their historical range. Habitat Elk live in wooded, primarily mountainous, habitats in the United States contributing to their herbivorous diet of tree shoots, shrubs and grasses. They prefer open wooded areas and pastures over denser forests. Elk migrate between elevations depending on the season. In summer, they inhabit mountains and alpine meadows, then in winter, they typically migrate to the valleys. An elk’s home range is approximately 600 square miles. Elk in the United States The western U. S. and Rocky Mountain regions make up the bulk of the elk range in the United States, though some populations exist farther east. Significant populations are found in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, such as in Yellowstone National Park and the Wyoming National Elk Refuge."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Zoology What animal eats wolves?1 following 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Wolves are top predators - nothing actively hunts them for food. Whilst they occasionally clash with other large predators, such as pumas and bears, these animals see each other as competitors, not as prey. A dead wolf will of course be fed upon by various scavengers. In response to Kishore's answer, I'd just like to point out that genuine fighting within a wolf pack is very rare, and killing a member of the pack unheard of. Wolves are intensely social animals that have strong bonds to the other members of their pack - the pack is basically an extended family. There is a strict heirarchy within the pack, reinforced regularly with displays of body language - because each wolf knows its place, there is no need for real fighting.

Wolves are mainly hunted for sport, for their skins, to protect livestock and in some rare cases, to protect humans. [ 1] Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities. [ 2] Historically, the hunting of wolves was a huge capital- and manpower-intensive operation. The threat wolves posed to both livestock and people was considered significant enough to warrant the conscription of whole villages under threat of punishment, despite the disruption of economic activities and reduced taxes. [ 1] The hunting of gray wolves, while originally actively endorsed in many countries, has become a controversial issue in some nations.

In Tena Bamegageb, or “health by eating,” the Ethiopian nutritionist Tadesse Gesese recommends lots of fruits and vegetables on your road to long life, although he’s not averse to serving some of the standard dishes of Ethiopian cuisine, albeit the ones higher in fiber and lower in fat. In the book’s dozen or so chapters, he discusses such topics as natural hygiene, the body cycle, metabolism, protein, fiber, fruits, and the importance of water in your diet. There’s a chart noting the relative amounts of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E in a variety of foods, like lamb liver, chicory, spinach, sorrel, watercress and fish oil. He also explains what these vitamins do for the body. Tadesse ends his book with 15 pages of mostly non-Ethiopian recipes, often for the meals he discusses in the book. There’s a Mediterranean rice salad, a Parisian salad, an asparagus quiche, a vegetable juice cocktail, a “standard vegetable sandwich,” a fava bean tortilla, a “victory pie” (onion, celery, carrot, potato and spices), and an “energy salad” with spinach, cucumber, avocado, wheat, lentils and fava beans, all covered in a dressing made of onions, sunflower seeds and lemon juice. Vegans tend to like Ethiopian cuisine because it has a lot of vegetable dishes made without milk or butter, and the menus in Tadesse’s book will suit such gourmands. His program does offer numerous beef entrées (no chicken or fish), but always with an option for a vegetarian entrée instead. This is a testament to the Ethiopian love of beef, although there are no raw meat dishes on the menu."

They really like cool upland areas, but as long as their kind of food is available, they seem able to adapt to almost any weather. North The furthest north the mountain lion goes is the Canadian Yukon, which has an arctic or subarctic tundra climate featuring long, cold winters with short days and short summers with long, warm days. Rumors and reports of lions there have been circulating for about 100 years, but the first documented presence of the species was in 2000, when a partially frozen cougar was found in 17-degree weather, living in an abandoned car and eating nobody knows what. Normally, the lions don't mind the cold -- they just put on their undercoat -- and the summer warmth doesn't last long enough to be a problem for them. South Passing through the Amazon rainforest and the pampas of Argentina, in Patagonia, at the far end of South America, the puma finds the tundra again at the opposite extreme of his range. The cool climate of the high, dry uplands of the Andes suits these cats perfectly, and the abundant guanaco is his favorite prey. East The temperate climate of the eastern half of the U. S., with the geographic features of low mountains and hills and extensive forests, is prime cougar habitat, but the cats themselves are scarce on the ground. It can't be a lack of prey, because there is currently a glut of whitetail deer, especially in suburban yards and gardens. The eastern cougar has been declared extinct by the U. S.

Click on photo to enlarge Did you know that wolves are closely related to dogs? People a few thousand years ago took wolves and tamed them or domesticated them. These domesticated wolves are now what we call dogs. What do wolves look like? Wolves look like large dogs and weigh between 57-130 pounds. The males are larger than females."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Zoology How big do wolves normally get? Sorry there's no specific breed, my assignment is just to create an ecosystem... my animal's predator is the wolf- and HIS size affects MY animals size. So... pick the biggest wolf you know, I guess- and how big does it get when its an adult? :) Thanks. Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The largest grey wolf on record weighed 175 pounds. However, that is exceptional. The size varies greatly across the species' range - those in Asia often weigh no more than 50 pounds, while those in Alaska are usually over 100 pounds. They can stand 3 feet at the shoulder and reach 6 feet in length (including tail). Remember that wolves hunt in packs - by working together, they can kill much bigger prey than one wolf could. A moose, for example, can be ten times larger than a single wolf, and one wolf has no chance of killing one by itself, but in a pack, they can take them down."

Answer by Shanna Wilson Confidence votes 52In a pack, quietly, they search for prey and they sneak up one they have spotted for their next meal. They circle it and leap. If it gets away, then they chase it for miles until it gets tired. Then they strike. The alpha eats first. Usually, in a pack format. Wolves hunt in packs, often running the prey down by taking turns chasing it, as in relays. They are evolved for the chase, not as ambush hunters like cats.16 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Wolves are members of the canine family, but they’re not exactly domesticated like your average German shepherd. Though numerous subspecies of wolves exist, scientists and researchers have recognized four distinct species: gray wolves, eastern timber wolves, Ethiopian wolves and red wolves. With habitats from Alaska to the highlands of Ethiopia, these wolves remain some of the world’s most recognizable predators. Gray Wolf Gray wolves are the quintessential image we picture when we think of the species. Historically found throughout the entire northern hemisphere, these endangered carnivores are now mostly confined to the tundra, forests, grasslands and deserts of the US and Canada. A peripatetic species, gray wolf packs can cover territories that range from 10 square miles to 1,000 square miles, and they can do so for quite a long time. Members of the pack can live for 8 to 13 years in the wild and more than 15 in captivity. Eastern Timber Wolf The eastern timber wolf has long been classified as a subspecies of the gray wolf; however, a 2012 genetic study by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the journal \"\"North American Fauna\"\" has suggested the eastern timber wolf is its own distinct species. These wolves live in packs in remote regions of Canada and Alaska, but a small number live in the northern forests of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Like gray wolves, eastern timber wolves are always on the move and tend to go wherever their natural prey goes; they occupy areas of forests, open fields, brushy swamps, rivers and streams alongside their natural prey: deer, moose and beaver."

"text": "Share: Types of Wolves Become a Member Today and Support Education About Wolves!There are two widely recognized species of wolves in the world, the red and the gray. However, there is debate over how many species of wolf exist and if there are different subspecies of the gray wolf. Additionally, there is a little-known canid, which lives in the Ethiopian highlands called Canis simensis that is thought to be a very close relative of the wolf. Scientific Classification of Wolves Classification, or taxonomy, is the system of categorizing all living things. Living things are separated into different categories based on similarities and/or common ancestry. Kingdom Animalia All animals Phylum Chordata Animals with a backbone Class Mammalia All mammals Order Carnivora Carnivorous mammals Family Canidae Dog-like mammals Genus Canis Dogs Species lupus (gray wolves) rufus (red wolves) lycaon (some scientists think is a subspecies of gray wolf – see below)Examples of other Canid Specieslatrans (coyote) a ureus (golden jackal) mesomelas (black-backed jackal) adustus (side-striped jackal) dingo (dingo) familiaris (domestic dog) simensis (Abyssinian or Ethiopian wolf)Scientific Naming of Wolves Canis simensis Every living thing on earth has a unique scientific name consisting of two words in Latin, which are always italicized. The first letter of the first part of the name, the genus, is always capitalized in writing, while that of the second part, the species, is not. Therefore, the gray wolf’s scientific name is Canis lupus. This naming system is referred to as binary nomenclature and is the same all around the world, which helps people who speak different languages talk about the same species without question. Scientific names are often descriptive and give insight into one species’ relationship to another species."

The term \"\"canine\"\" comes from the adjective form, caninus (\"\"of the dog\"\"), from which the term canine tooth is also derived. [ 3] The canine family has prominent canine teeth, used for killing their prey.

Terminology [ edit]Immature dogs (that is, animals that are incapable of reproduction) are referred to as pups or puppies, [4] whereas the young of other canines are known as cubs. A group of puppies from the same gestation period is referred to as a litter. [ 5]Taxonomy [ edit]Canini [ edit]The tribe Canini [6] ( Fischer de Waldheim, 1817) is the sister group to the true foxes ( Vulpes ), and is represented today by two sub-tribes: Canina, which includes the genus Canis [7] (wolves, jackals, the coyote, and the domestic dog ), as well as the dhole and the African wild dog; and Cerdocyonina, [8] which includes the so-called foxes of South America.

Lyes, Ph. D. This article was written in 1999 Author’s Essays Page: http://www.clyes.clara.net/essays.html That the conquest of Greece and the renewal of cultural contact with the east affected Rome and its institutions, seems irrefutable. When looking at art, for example, such influences become obvious; sculptures such as that of a Roman triumphator (Zanker 1993, fig. 1) have a blatant shock value in dispensing with the traditional Roman honorific pose (Zanker 1993, fig. 4), but also clearly allude to earlier Hellenistic portraits of kings and gods such as Polykleitos’s ‘Spear-bearer’ (Woodford 1982, fig. 1.23) and point to a vigorously renewed interest in the Greek culture during the mid-second century BC. We might expect, therefore, such a vigorous take-up of ideas to also manifest itself in the structure of Roman towns. However, here it is rather more difficult to discern the direct effects of the conquest – that is not to say of course that Roman urban development was not hellenized, merely that identifying this hellenization as being a direct result of the second century conquest is less easy. The aim of this essay, therefore is to examine the Hellenic influences on urbanization amongst Roman and ‘italic’ peoples and to determine which of these influences can be attributed directly to the second century conquests."

"text": "Roman architecture was unlike anything that had come before. The Persians, Egyptians, Greeks and Etruscans all had monumental architecture. The grandeur of their buildings, though, was largely external. Buildings were designed to be impressive when viewed from outside because their architects all had to rely on building in a post-and-lintel system, which means that they used two upright posts, like columns, with a horizontal block, known as a lintel, laid flat across the top. A good example is this ancient Greek Temple in Paestum, Italy. An example of post and lintel architecture: Hera II, Paestum, c. 460 B. C. E. (Classical period), tufa, 24.26 x 59.98 m Since lintels are heavy, the interior spaces of buildings could only be limited in size. Much of the interior space had to be devoted to supporting heavy loads. Giovanni Paolo Panini, Interior of the Pantheon, c. 1734, oil on canvas, 128 x 99 cm (National Gallery of Art) Roman architecture differed fundamentally from this tradition because of the discovery, experimentation and exploitation of concrete, arches and vaulting (a good example of this is the Pantheon, c. 125 C. E.). Thanks to these innovations, from the first century C. E. Romans were able to create interior spaces that had previously been unheard of. Romans became increasingly concerned with shaping interior space rather than filling it with structural supports."

History The first civilization known to have used the rolling pin was the Etruscans. These people may have migrated from Asia Minor to Northern Italy or may have originated in Italy. They established a group of city states (called Etruria) and were a dominant society by about the ninth century B. C. , but their civilization was cut short after attacks from the Greeks, the growing Roman Empire, and the Gauls (tribes that lived in modern day France). The Etruscans' advanced farming ability, along with a tendency to cultivate many plants and animals never before used as food and turn them into sophisticated recipes, were passed to invading Greeks, Romans, and Western Europeans. Thanks to the Etruscans, these cultures are associated with gourmet cooking. To prepare their inventive foods, the Etruscans also developed a wide range of cooking tools, including the rolling pin. Although written recipes did not exist until the fourth century B. C. , the Etruscans documented their love of food and its preparation in murals, on vases, and on the walls of their tombs. Cooking wares are displayed with pride; rolling pins appear to have been used first to thin-roll pasta that was shaped with cutting wheels.

The map includes the 12 cities of the Etruscan League and notable cities founded by the Etruscans. There are two main hypotheses as to the origins of the Etruscan civilization in the Early Iron Age: autochthonous development in situ out of the Villanovan culture, or colonization of Italy from the Near East. [ 1] An autochthonous population that diverged genetically was suggested as a possibility by Cavalli-Sforza. [ 2]Helmut Rix 's classification of the Etruscan language in a proposed Tyrsenian language family reflects this ambiguity. He finds Etruscan on one hand genetically related to the Rhaetic language spoken in the Alps north of Etruria, suggesting autochthonous connections, but on the other hand the Lemnian language found on the \"\"Lemnos stele\"\" is closely related to Etruscan, entailing either Etruscan presence in \"\" Tyrsenian \"\" Lemnos, or \"\"Tyrsenian\"\" expansion westward to Etruria. [ 3] In particular the Lemnian language could have arrived in the Aegean Sea during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenaean rulers recruited groups of mercenaries from Sicily, Sardinia and various parts of the Italian peninsula. [ 4]The Etruscan language was of a different family from that of neighbouring Italic and Celtic peoples, who spoke Indo-European languages. [ 5]The latest mt DNA study (2013) suggests that the Etruscans appear to fall very close to a Neolithic population from Central Europe and to other Tuscan populations. [ 6] This coincides with the Rhaetic language which was spoken north of the Alps in the area of the Urnfield culture of Central Europe."

Marvelling at ‘carbon-copy’ inscriptions or bathhouses from Meso- potamia to Hadrian’s Wall in Scotland, scholars and general public alike have been awestruck by the apparent homogeneity brought about by the irresistible expansion of Rome. Such a long-lived, relatively peaceful empire, bearer of a pervasive and revolutionary form of civilization, was the perfect precedent to justify medieval and modern expansionist projects of all kinds, from Arthurian Cornwall and Nor- man Sicily, to the Spanish conquista and the British Empire. Never equalled, although always emulated, the thorough acculturation pro- moted by Rome is still a very powerful icon today. It is, however, only since the early nineteenth century that this perception of Rome has crystallized into an organic, unquestioned form, aligning schol- arly frameworks with popular representations. European nationalism seems to have had a specific and acute need for a predecessor like the Roman Empire that would legitimize and reinforce the new, dominant imperialist discourse.

"text": "Who Were The Etruscans? Monday, March 9, 2015 - 16:46Despite their amazing achievements and lasting influence, the Etruscans remain one of Italy’s great mysteries. Fleur Kinson sheds a little light. For most of us, ‘Etruscan’ is one of those words we’ve met many times but, if pressed, couldn’t precisely explain. We might know the word has some connection with Tuscany. We might even know that the Etruscans were a people, and that they did impressive things of some kind. But like ‘Phoenicians’ and ‘Carthaginians’, they tend to be a name with no picture – another obscure, long-dead ethnic group only familiar perhaps to people with a classical education. If you plan to visit anywhere in central Italy, it’s really worth sharpening up your hazy understanding. You’re going to meet that word ‘Etruscan’ everywhere you go; a lot of irritation can be saved by clearing it up here. A word of warning, though: it’s a well-founded cliché that anyone who starts learning about the Etruscans quickly becomes hooked on the subject."

Tourists should on no account miss Orvieto if they are visiting Umbria or southern Tuscany. The tufa butte on which Orvieto is located is itself riddled with tunnels and wells dating from Etruscan times to only a couple of hundred years ago. The most spectacular of these subterranean burrowings is the Pozzo di San Patrizio , a deep well with a double spiral stair leading to the water source at its base. It dates from 1537 and is 62 m deep. If you're in need of exercise, it's possible to descend and return.

"text": "The Origins of the Etruscans The Etruscans occupied the region to the north of Rome, between the Arno and Tiber Rivers to the west of the Apennine Mountains. The Romans were first a subject people of the Etruscans and later their conquerors. The Etruscan culture was well-developed and advanced but distinctively different from the cultures of the other peoples in the region. This distinctive difference immediately led to the question of where did the Etruscans originate. This question was subject to active speculation among the Greeks. Some Greeks held that the Etruscans were a branch of the Pelasgians , aboriginal inhabitants of the Aegean region, others such as Virgil thought they came from Lydia, a kingdom of western Anatolia. The Greek master historian Herodotus also ascribes the origin of the Etruscans to Lydia. Herodotus says the ancestors of the Etruscans were forced to emigrate from Lydia because of 18 years of hard times. The Lydians built ships and half of the population left under the leadership of Tyrrhenus, the son of the king of Lydia. The Pelasgians may have been the Sea People who around 1200 B. C. invaded the Egyptian Empire."

The Italic tribe of the Latins formed the city of Rome as a Kingdom, which eventually became a Republic that united Italy by the third century BC and emerged as the dominant power of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea as a consequence of the military victories of generals such as Scipio, Aemilius Paullus, Scipio Aemilianus, Gaius Marius, Lucius Sulla, Pompey and Julius Caesar. In 27 BC, Augustus established the Roman Empire and inaugurated the Pax Romana, a period of stability and relative peace in which Italy flourished as the leading cultural, political and economic centre of the known world. The death of the last of the good emperors, Marcus Aurelius, and the crisis of the third century marked the beginning of the decline of Rome. The Empire went through major changes in the following centuries, including the division between a Western and an Eastern half in 284 under Diocletian and the end of the persecutions of Christians with the Edict of Milan of 313 under Constantine . The Bishop of Rome was granted religious primacy with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 and the West collapsed amid barbarian invasions in 476, when Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustulus. During the early middle ages, the Italian peninsula was conquered by the Goths, the Byzantines and the Lombards, until Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor the day of Christmas of the year 800 in Rome. The Roman Pontiff and the German Emperor became the universal powers of Italy and Europe, but soon entered in conflict for the investiture controversy and the clash between their factions: the Guelphs and Ghibellines. The struggle for power between the Papacy and the Empire led to the decline of Imperial influence in Italy, especially after the Humiliation of Canossa of Emperor Henry IV and the victory of Italian forces over Friedrich Barbarossa in the Battle of Legnano: by the 12th century Italy was organized in independent city-states. The crusades launched by Pope Urban II and his successors proved to be successful for the maritime republics: Italy first experienced the Commercial Revolution, which caused the European economy to shift from agriculture to trade."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-an-event-manager-do.htm\nWhat Does an Event Manager Do?",
"text": "\"An event manager typically is involved in planning and overseeing events such as parties, receptions, and conventions. Depending on the event manager's employment situation, he may work on behalf of a vendor, such as a hotel or other venue in which events are often held, or may work independently of a specific vendor. The amount of responsibility assumed by event managers varies, but in many cases they assume primary responsibility for the logistics of the event and the coordination of all vendors who will be contributing to the event. While many people are able to plan small parties and social get-togethers in their own homes, coordinating larger events, particularly when several third-party providers of goods and services are involved, can be a significant challenge. A good event manager is able to work with a host or hostess to get an understanding of his or her vision for the event, evaluate the budget and resources already available, and then select vendors appropriate to the event. On the day of the event, an event manager is typically responsible for making sure that goods and services are delivered as promised and that the event runs smoothly. Ad If an event manager works for a banquet hall, hotel, or other venue, his role may be slightly different than that of an independent event manager. Many event venues have strict policies regarding the use of outside vendors, so an event planner in such a venue would primarily act as a liaison between the individual or organization who wants to host an event and the property's approved or in-house vendors. The event planner could advise his client as to appropriate services needed for the event, such as catering, flowers, or even a dance floor and DJ. He would also ensure that the venue space is appropriately set up for the event and that caterers and other vendors and support staff perform their duties as required."

Heathfield Updated December 20, 2017Manager is a job title that is used in organizations to denote an employee who has certain duties and responsibilities to lead functions or departments and/or employees. The manager is assigned to a particular level on an organizational chart. Employees who have the job title of manager have diverse duties and job responsibilities for people and functions. The job description of a manager varies from organization to organization depending on the specific responsibilities that are assigned to the job function. In some organizations, the title, manager, is only assigned to employees who have other employees reporting to them as seen on an organizational chart. In other organizations, the title of manager is also assigned to employees who manage a functional area. For example, Tracey has the job title of manager. She has no reporting staff but she is responsible for expanding sales to international markets. The manager's role and job description are at a pay grade or job classification level of the organization that integrates functions and departments for implementation success."

But now an order has come down (from high enough above that you don’t have the liberty of debating its wisdom or feasibility) decreeing that you must find an additional 10%, 20%, or even 30% in administrative cost reductions, severance aside. You just don’t see how it can be done. What’s the Right Level of Overhead? Companies undertake administrative cost reductions for a number of reasons—to protect earnings, to gain synergies from an acquisition, to stave off bankruptcy. No matter what the reason, though, an important question hangs over every cost-cutting effort: “Are we cutting enough—or too much?” Expressed more fundamentally: “What’s the right level of overhead?”There is no universal answer. But there is a right way to approach the question."

A collaborative effort between government and private sector, the Framework is a result of months of hard work. Though the Framework has Critical Infrastructure (CI) in the title, that doesn’t mean that an organization has to run a nuclear power plant or manage a city water system to use it. The Framework can bring valuable guidance to all industries and organizations that depend on IT for their operations because it brings a common language and model to the process of managing cybersecurity risk. Breaking down the Cybersecurity Framework The Framework is composed of three parts: Framework Core – Cybersecurity activities and outcomes divided into 5 Functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover Framework Profile – To help the company align activities with business requirements, risk tolerance and resources Framework Implementation Tiers – Which help organizations categorize where they are with their approach Building from those standards, guidelines, and practices, the Framework provides a common taxonomy and mechanism for organizations to: Describe their current cybersecurity posture;Describe their target state for cybersecurity;Identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement within the context of a continuous and repeatable process;Assess progress toward the target state;Communicate among internal and external stakeholders about cybersecurity risk. Risk Management Managing cybersecurity risk isn’t about eliminating all risk. It is about determining and understanding the risk rating of events and putting the right processes or controls in place to manage them in accordance with the organization’s risk tolerance levels. It is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. And it requires an organization to understand what kind of events can have a negative impact on operations, how likely those events are to occur and what the impact would be to the service or business if a given event does occur."

I think it is so very important for assistants to have good business acumen because without it I don’t see how we can support our managers or move up the career ladder. So what is business acumen? I really like this definition of business acumen, it is from the Financial Times Lexicon: In practice, people with business acumen are thought of as having business ‘sense’ or business ‘smarts’."

In this post I am going to be comparing several different social media scheduling and management apps: Cinch Share, Post My Party, Post Planner, Tiny Torch, Hootsuite, Buffer, Sendible, Post Cron & Vizzlie. I will be breaking down the costs, features, benefits, ease of use and an overall impression of how well I feel the app/program works for direct sellers, network marketers or party plan reps in marketing their business. These are not listed in any particular order. A few links are affiliate/partner links for sites that I personally use (d). Being an affiliate for any of these sites has in no way influenced my opinions or the content of this post. Everything is 100% my own opinion based on personal use. Post Planner I have been using Post Planner for several years now. It offers a lot of features that other social media scheduling apps do not offer. A lot of the top online marketers and social media experts recommending Post Planner and I can understand why."

"text": "View more from the June 2012 Issue Explore the Archive Loading... Editors’ Note: Since this issue of HBR went to press, JP Morgan, whose risk management practices are highlighted in this article, revealed significant trading losses at one of its units. The authors provide their commentary on this turn of events in their contribution to HBR’s Insight Center on Managing Risky Behavior. When Tony Hayward became CEO of BP, in 2007, he vowed to make safety his top priority. Among the new rules he instituted were the requirements that all employees use lids on coffee cups while walking and refrain from texting while driving. Three years later, on Hayward’s watch, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, causing one of the worst man-made disasters in history. A U. S. investigation commission attributed the disaster to management failures that crippled “the ability of individuals involved to identify the risks they faced and to properly evaluate, communicate, and address them.” Hayward’s story reflects a common problem. Despite all the rhetoric and money invested in it, risk management is too often treated as a compliance issue that can be solved by drawing up lots of rules and making sure that all employees follow them. Many such rules, of course, are sensible and do reduce some risks that could severely damage a company. But rules-based risk management will not diminish either the likelihood or the impact of a disaster such as Deepwater Horizon, just as it did not prevent the failure of many financial institutions during the 2007–2008 credit crisis."

The origins and evolution of research on event tourism are pinpointed through both chronological and thematic literature reviews. A conceptual model of the core phenomenon and key themes in event tourism studies is provided as a framework for spurring theoretical advancement, identifying research gaps, and assisting professional practice.

For example, a Mc Donald's restaurant is destroyed in Indonesia as the result of a fundamentalist uprising against American companies. Other micro political risks can occur in more vulnerable industries such as mining and extraction in which locals may feel that the MNC is stealing their natural resources.

It seeks to identify which human psychological traits are evolved adaptations – that is, the functional products of natural selection or sexual selection in human evolution. Adaptationist thinking about physiological mechanisms, such as the heart, lungs, and immune system, is common in evolutionary biology. Some evolutionary psychologists apply the same thinking to psychology, arguing that the modularity of mind is similar to that of the body and with different modular adaptations serving different functions. Evolutionary psychologists argue that much of human behavior is the output of psychological adaptations that evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments. [ 1]Evolutionary psychologists suggest that it is not simply a subdiscipline of psychology but that evolutionary theory can provide a foundational, metatheoretical framework that integrates the entire field of psychology in the same way evolution has for biology. [ 2] [3] [4]Evolutionary psychologists hold that behaviors or traits that occur universally in all cultures are good candidates for evolutionary adaptations [5] including the abilities to infer others' emotions, discern kin from non-kin, identify and prefer healthier mates, and cooperate with others. They report successful tests of theoretical predictions related to such topics as infanticide, intelligence, marriage patterns, promiscuity, perception of beauty, bride price, and parental investment. [ 6]The theories and findings of evolutionary psychology have applications in many fields, including economics, environment, health, law, management, psychiatry, politics, and literature. ["

In the following interview, he takes on the vital task of negotiating the role of evolutionary psychology in ethics and politics. This topic is followed up in a forthcoming book, A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution and Cooperation (New Haven: Yale UP, 2000), where Singer argues that once we separate \"\"ought\"\" from \"\"is,\"\" Darwinism will be freed of its ideological baggage. By \"\"is\"\" he means the way things are, from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. By \"\"ought\"\" he means the decisions we make based on those accounts. He points out, for example, that \"\"To say that human beings have a tendency to form hierarchies is not to say that it is right for our society to remain hierarchal; but it is to issue a warning that we should not expect to abolish hierarchy by eliminating the particular hierarchy we have in our society. \"\" Singer uses game theory to make his point. In the well-known Prisoner's Dilemma, you and another prisoner are being held incommunicado from each other and the world. Your interrogator gives you a set of options. If you inform on the other person and he stays silent, you go free while he is stuck with the sucker's payoff of a twenty-year term."

S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class James R. Evans, via Wikimedia Commons“I dare them to find the i Pod on me,” Richie Sais told the New York Times in 2007, when he was preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon. USA Track & Field, the national governing body for distance racing, had just decided to ban athletes from using portable music players in order \"\"to ensure safety and to prevent runners from having a competitive edge.\"\" Rais resolved to hide his i Pod shuffle under his shirt. Many fellow runners protested the new rule, which remains in effect today in an amended form: It now applies only to people vying for awards and money. For some athletes and for many people who run, jog, cycle, lift weights and otherwise exercise, music is not superfluous—it is essential to peak performance and a satisfying workout. Although some people prefer audio books, podcasts or ambient sounds, many others depend on bumpin' beats and stirring lyrics to keep themselves motivated when exercising. A quick Twitter search uncovers plenty of evidence: \"\"Trying to let my phone charge a little more before I go, because lord knows I can't even try and workout without music,\"\" tweeted @Gianna_H21. \"\" I just made my mom turn around to get my headphones. I can't possibly work out without music,\"\" @Codavoci_Kyle admitted. In the last 10 years the body of research on workout music has swelled considerably, helping psychologists refine their ideas about why exercise and music are such an effective pairing for so many people as well as how music changes the body and mind during physical exertion."

Abnormal psychology studies the nature of psychopathology and its causes, and this knowledge is applied in clinical psychology to treat patients with psychological disorders. It can be difficult to draw the line between normal and abnormal behaviors. In general, abnormal behaviors must be maladaptive and cause an individual significant discomfort in order to be of clinical and research interest. According to the DSM-IV-TR, behaviors may be considered abnormal if they are associated with disability, personal distress, the violation of social norms, or dysfunction. [ 1]Anomalistic [ edit]Main article: Anomalistic psychology Anomalistic psychology is the study of human behaviour and experience connected with what is often called the paranormal, without the assumption that there is anything paranormal involved.

"text": "Magazine Depression’s Upside By JONAH LEHRER FEB. 25, 2010Ben Weeks The Victorians had many names for depression, and Charles Darwin used them all. There were his “fits” brought on by “excitements,” “flurries” leading to an “uncomfortable palpitation of the heart” and “air fatigues” that triggered his “head symptoms.” In one particularly pitiful letter, written to a specialist in “psychological medicine,” he confessed to “extreme spasmodic daily and nightly flatulence” and “hysterical crying” whenever Emma, his devoted wife, left him alone. While there has been endless speculation about Darwin’s mysterious ailment — his symptoms have been attributed to everything from lactose intolerance to Chagas disease — Darwin himself was most troubled by his recurring mental problems. His depression left him “not able to do anything one day out of three,” choking on his “bitter mortification.” He despaired of the weakness of mind that ran in his family. “ The ‘race is for the strong,’ ” Darwin wrote. “ I shall probably do little more but be content to admire the strides others made in Science. ”Darwin, of course, was wrong; his recurring fits didn’t prevent him from succeeding in science."

"text": "\"Theories Biological Psychology What Is Biopsychology? ( Brain and Behavior)By Kendra Cherry | Reviewed by Steven Gans, MDUpdated August 18, 2017Share Pin Email Print Monty Rakusen / Getty Images Biopsychology is a branch of psychology that analyzes how the brain, neurotransmitters, and other aspects of our biology influence our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. This field of psychology is often referred to by a variety of names including biopsychology, physiological psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and psychobiology. Biopsychologists often look at how biological processes interact with emotions, cognitions, and other mental processes. The field of biopsychology is related to several other areas, including comparative psychology and evolutionary psychology. Brief History While biopsychology might seem like a fairly recent development thanks to the introduction of advanced tools and technology for examining the brain, the roots of the field date back thousands of years to the time of the early philosophers. While we now consider the mind and brain synonymous, philosophers and psychologists long debated what was known as the mind/body problem. In other words, philosophers and other thinkers wondered what the relationship was between the mental world and the physical world. Philosophers' Views One important thing to remember is that it is only fairly recently in human history that people have come to understand the actual location of the mind. Aristotle, for example, taught that our thoughts and feelings arose from the heart."

Explain the roles that extinction, generalization, and discrimination play in conditioned learning. Pavlov Demonstrates Conditioning in Dogs In the early part of the 20th century, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849“1936) was studying the digestive system of dogs when he noticed an interesting behavioral phenomenon: The dogs began to salivate when the lab technicians who normally fed them entered the room, even though the dogs had not yet received any food. Pavlov realized that the dogs were salivating because they knew that they were about to be fed; the dogs had begun to associate the arrival of the technicians with the food that soon followed their appearance in the room. Figure7.2. Ivan Pavlov Ivan Pavlov's research made substantial contributions to our understanding of learning. With his team of researchers, Pavlov began studying this process in more detail. He conducted a series of experiments in which, over a number of trials, dogs were exposed to a sound immediately before receiving food. He systematically controlled the onset of the sound and the timing of the delivery of the food, and recorded the amount of the dogs' salivation."

This is harder than you might think. Pointing, for example, is not an obviously astonishing act. I have already pointed several times today and no one was astonished. But when a baby points ecstatically at a puppy, or responds to someone else pointing at that puppy, we should marvel at him: We have just witnessed an astonishingly complex act. In fact, by pointing, that baby is, in a very real way, acting out what makes us uniquely human. Advertisement Over the last decade, a series of studies out of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have made a very good argument for marveling at your pointing infant. A group of psychologists there have documented that infants, beginning at around 1 year of age, point and react to other people pointing in remarkably sophisticated ways."

John Naisbitt The Teal paradigm refers to the next stage in the evolution of human consciousness. [ 1] When applied to organizations, this paradigm views the organization as an independent force with its own purpose, and not merely as a vehicle for achieving management's objectives. Teal organizations are characterized by self-organization and self-management. The hierarchical \"\"predict and control\"\" pyramid of Orange is replaced with a decentralized structure consisting of small teams that take responsibility for their own governance and for how they interact with other parts of the organization. Assigned positions and job descriptions are replaced with a multiplicity of roles, often self-selected and fluid. People’s actions are guided not by orders from someone up the chain of command but by ‘listening’ to the organization’s purpose. Unlike the highly static nature of Amber, Orange and Green organizations, the organizational structure in Teal is characterized by rapid change and adaptation, as adjustments are continuously made to better serve the organization's purpose.

"text": "How Our Delusions Keep Us Sane: The Psychology of Our Essential Self-Enhancement Bias How evolution made the average person believe she is better in every imaginable way than the average person. By Maria Popova“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope,” Helen Keller wrote in her 1903 treatise on optimism. But a positive outlook, it turns out, isn’t merely an intellectual disposition we don — it’s a deep-seated component of our evolutionary wiring and the product of powerful, necessary delusions our mind is working around-the-clock to maintain. At the root of that mental machinery lies what psychologists have termed the self-enhancement bias — our systematic tendency to forgo rational evaluation of our own merits and abilities in favor of unrealistic attitudes that keep our ego properly inflated as to avoid sinking into the depths of despair. The self-enhancement bias, which has significant overlap with the optimism bias neuroscientist Tali Sharot has studied, is one of the seventeen psychological phenomena David Mc Raney explores in You Are Now Less Dumb: How to Conquer Mob Mentality, How to Buy Happiness, and All the Other Ways to Outsmart Yourself ( public library ), which also illuminated why we have a hard time changing our minds and how Benjamin Franklin handled haters. The mind’s delusory tendencies, Mc Raney explains, are just as vital as the automatic self-preservation processes of the body. Much like the respiration inhibition function of the brain prevents us from damaging our lungs by consciously deciding to stop breathing, the psyche employs a sort of “despair-inhibition module” of positive illusions constantly running in the background to power our self-enhancement bias — those rose-colored glasses we reserve exclusively for viewing ourselves, without which we might be blinded by life. Illustration from The Mighty Lalouche by Sophie Blackall Citing several studies, Mc Raney writes: Your wildly inaccurate self-evaluations get you through rough times and help motivate you when times are good. [ Research shows] that people who are brutally honest with themselves are not as happy day to day as people with unrealistic assumptions about their abilities. In other words, not only was Hunter S. Thompson right about journalism when he wrote that “there is no such thing as Objective Journalism” and that “the phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms,” but he was also right about the human condition at large — we are wildly unrealistic about ourselves, and that’s a good thing."

"text": "\"Another Big Five for Personality Five Character Adaptational Systems Posted Apr 11, 2012SHARETWEETEMAILMOREBy far the most well-known work in personality psychology over the past three decades has been the “ Big Five” model of personality traits. Traits are broad dimensions of personality, which have been found to be present across cultures and remain remarkably stable after emerging adulthood (i.e., your traits at age 25 highly predict your traits at 50). Personality researchers have reached a general consensus that there are five ‘big’ traits: 1) Extraversion, which refers to the general degree of positivity, approach motivation, and sociability; 2) Neuroticism, which refers to the general degree of negativity, avoidance motivation, and emotional reactivity; 3) Agreeableness, which refers to the tendency to get along, be warm, sympathetic and understanding (the opposite of paranoid hostility); 4) Conscientiousness, which refers to the extent of organized planning, responsibility, and achievement motivation; and 5) Openness, which refers to the desire to experience novelty, connect with new feelings, and learn new things. Although the ‘Big Five’ represented a significant advance in personality theory, it is clearly a limited framework for personality theory as a whole. Think about it this way, if you know that I am moderately high on extraversion, moderately low on neuroticism, moderately high on agreeableness, high on conscientiousness, and high on openness, do you really know me? Obviously not. Although helpful, our personalities are much more than our trait profile. In an article titled A New Big Five, Dan Mc Adams and Jennifer Pals stated that it is crucial that personality researchers move beyond the success of the “Big Five” trait theory and develop an integrative vision for understanding the whole person. Toward that end, they proposed a new big five for conceptualizing personality as…\"\" (1) an individual’s unique variation on the general evolutionary design for human nature, expressed as a developing pattern of (2) dispositional traits, (3) characteristic adaptations, and (4) self-defining life narratives, complexly and differentially situated (5) in culture and social context. \"\" In regard to the first domain, they describe the importance of human evolutionary history and the insights from evolutionary psychology in delineating the general architecture of the human mind."

This is understandable: independent selection of a trait requires that it be both heritable and largely decoupled from other ‘nearby’ traits. Cognitive capacities realized as innate modules would certainly satisfy these contraints. A viable evolutionary cognitive psychology, however, requires neither extreme nativism nor modularity, though it is consistent with both. In this paper, we seek to show that rather weak assumptions about innateness and modularity are consistent with evolutionary explanations of cognitive capacities. Evolutionary pressures can affect the degree to which the development of a capacity is canalized by biasing acquisition/learning in ways that favor development of concepts and capacities that proved adaptive to an organism's ancestors. Previous article Next article Keywords Evolutionary psychology Cognition Development Plasticity Modules Innate1. Introduction Evolutionary explanations of cognitive phenomena are often thought to imply that the cognitive capacities targeted for evolutionary explanation are innate and modular. We argue that neither of these implications is necessitated by evolutionary explanations of particular cognitive effects. Instead, we argue that issues of innateness should be conceived in terms of canalization, i.e the degree to which the development of a trait is robust across normal environmental variations ( Ariew, 1996; Mc Kenzie & O'Farrell, 1993; Waddington, 1975 )."

Explain the roles that extinction, generalization, and discrimination play in conditioned learning. Pavlov Demonstrates Conditioning in Dogs In the early part of the 20th century, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849–1936) was studying the digestive system of dogs when he noticed an interesting behavioral phenomenon: The dogs began to salivate when the lab technicians who normally fed them entered the room, even though the dogs had not yet received any food. Pavlov realized that the dogs were salivating because they knew that they were about to be fed; the dogs had begun to associate the arrival of the technicians with the food that soon followed their appearance in the room. Figure 7.2 Ivan Pavlov Ivan Pavlov’s research made substantial contributions to our understanding of learning. LIFE Photo Archive – Wikimedia Commons – public domain. With his team of researchers, Pavlov began studying this process in more detail. He conducted a series of experiments in which, over a number of trials, dogs were exposed to a sound immediately before receiving food. He systematically controlled the onset of the sound and the timing of the delivery of the food, and recorded the amount of the dogs’ salivation."

Posted April 10, 1998 2:08 PM 0 Comments Astrobiology seeks to understand the origin of the building blocks of life, how these biogenic compounds combine to create life, how life affects - and is affected by the environment from which it arose, and finally, whether and how life expands beyond its planet of origin. None of these questions is by any means new - but for the first time since they were posed, these questions may now be answerable. Astrobiology seeks to provide a philosophical and programmatic underpinning whereby life's place in the universe can be explored - at levels of inter-related complexity ranging from molecular to galactic. At first, one might not think that their field of expertise might be relevant to Astrobiology. Indeed, with Astrobiology's cosmic perspective, they could well see their interests as being somewhat distant from such an expansive endeavor. Dive into even the most superficial description of Astrobiology and you'll soon see that not only are a vast array of scientific and engineering disciplines involved, but that the intersection points between these disciplines are often novel. At some point everyone has a stake in Astrobiology. The challenge which lies ahead is not so much the framing of questions as it is of how to channel all relevant expertise to the right task so as to answer these questions. It also requires the willingness of all participants to challenge old assumptions and conceive of novel ways to do things."

There is often too little contact between the clinical/applied psychologists who try to use psychological principles to improve our well being, and the experimentalists, who try to discover these principles. Even within these two major groups, there are often major disagreements with respect to theoretical and practical approaches. The American Psychological Association contains over 50 different divisions, each with its own governance structure. Staddon (1993) has stated that \"\"If Psychology is a field it is a field of battle, where contending groups struggle for mastery--not a coherent discipline\"\" (p.9). Although there may be some truth to Staddon's statement, an increasing number of psychologists believe that it need not be true (Buss, 1995; Buss, Haselton, Bleske, & Wakefield, 1998). These psychologists believe that there is an excellent theoretical framework that can be used to unify Psychology--a framework that can describe, using one theoretical scheme, seemingly disparate pieces of data; that can generate novel testable questions; and that can predict new findings in different settings. That theoretical framework is evolutionary theory. Employing such a framework can be helpful, not just to Psychology researchers, but also to Psychology students, providing an organizing backbone for the many different facts and principles that students learn about in their courses (Gray, 1996). An additional advantage to using evolutionary theory as the overall framework for Psychology is that, given evolutionary theory's extensive use in other disciplines, the use of evolutionary theory in understanding psychological phenomena can help to demonstrate the commonalities among Psychology and these other disciplines (Zeiler, 1992)."

Napoleon Chagnon is a Living World Treasure. Arguably our greatest anthropologist, he is brave on two fronts.

Eagly Darwin’s Influence on Modern Psychological Science By David M. Buss David M. Buss is Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. At the end of his classic treatise in 1859, On the Origin of Species, Darwin envisioned that in the distant future, the field of psychology would be based on a new foundation—that of evolutionary theory. A century and a half later, it’s clear that his vision proved prescient (Buss, 2009). Evolutionary psychology is not a distinct branch of psychology, but rather a theoretical lens that is currently informing all branches of psychology. It is based on a series of logically consistent and well-confirmed premises: (1) that evolutionary processes have sculpted not merely the body, but also the brain, the psychological mechanisms it houses, and the behavior it produces; (2) many of those mechanisms are best conceptualized as psychological adaptations designed to solve problems that historically contributed to survival and reproduction, broadly conceived; (3) psychological adaptations, along with byproducts of those adaptations, are activated in modern environments that differ in some important ways from ancestral environments; (4) critically, the notion that psychological mechanisms have adaptive functions is a necessary, not an optional, ingredient for a comprehensive psychological science."

Similarly, in computer terminology, \"\"import\"\" means to bring a file from a different program into the one you're using, and \"\"export\"\" means to save a file in a way that a different program can use it. Video of the Day Importing and exporting allow different computer programs to read each others' files. Exporting a File Most computer programs have their own way of organizing and encoding data into the files they save. They can recognize their own files but not files from another program. To export a file, the computer has to save data in a format that another program will recognize. The programmers must build this capability into the program itself, so programs are able to export in some file formats and not in others. Importing a File To import a file, a program must be able to recognize and decode a file format other than its own. Again, this is a capability that must be built into the program. Some formats are so common that nearly all programs can import them; for instance, most word processing programs can read ASCII text files (.txt files) and most spreadsheets can read comma-delimited ASCII files (.csv files)."

Protectionist trade policies are part of the Mercantilist plan to encourage exports and limit imports. Protectionist trade policies are the opposite of free trade, which is the government policy of allowing imports and exports to move freely among countries. Our goal this week is to identify the most common forms of protectionist trade policies and to examine whether they achieve their intended effects. We begin by discussing the two most familiar protectionist trade policies: tariffs and import quotas. Tariffs A tariff is defined as a tax on imports. When an imported products arrives in the U. S., the producer must pay a tax equal to some percentage of the value of the product (that percentage varies from product to product). A tariff is thus an added cost to the producer who must pay the tax. It raises the cost of importing products from other countries. Because it makes imports more costly to produce and sell, a tariff reduces the supply of imports into a country."

They tell the parties what to do with respect to carriage of the goods from buyer to seller, and export & import clearance. They also explain the division of costs and risks between the parties. The difference between the 2000 and the 2010 version is the number of Incoterms has been reduced from 13 to 11. Four Incoterms (DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU) have been replaced by two new Incoterms (DAT , DAP). The replaced Incoterms DAF, DES and DEQ were not used much in day to day trading. At Wim Bosman we support both the Incoterms 2000 as the newly introduced Incoterms 2010. Please see below an overview of Incoterms and their version.

Under MSVC it’s pretty simple, as Visual Studio will create a barebones project with everything you need. With Min GW a bit of manual work is needed, but it’s not that difficult when you know how it’s done. This article will show you the basics of creating DLLs with Min GW, and then linking to them in your applications. The code we produce here will be usable in MSVC as well, so you or your end users can target multiple compilers. DLL Basics A DLL is a type of shared library used on Microsoft Windows and OS/2, containing functions which can be reused in any application which wants to make use of them (actually, DLLs can contain a lot more than just functions, but this article is about creating libraries of functions). If you have a library foo.dll which contains a function Do Work (), the DLL must export that function in order for it to be used by applications. Likewise, if an application bar.exe wants to make use of the function Do Work (), it must import that function from foo.dll (it is also possible to write code which loads a DLL once an application has started running, calls functions from that DLL, and then unloads the DLL when it’s no longer useful—this is how plugin / addon systems usually work). The exporting and importing of functions is fairly straightforward, and just involves a little bit of code accompanied by the correct linker command line. The Inflexible and Inelegant Way First we will create a DLL exporting only a very basic function which adds two integers and returns the result."

As with everything else relating to economics there are many different factors that lead to the depreciation of a country’s currency. Central bank - Interest rate effects An decrease in a foreign country’s central bank interest rates, creates a lower demand for the domestic currency; devaluing its value. Why? Foreigners can earn higher profits by investing their money into foreign government bonds with higher interest rates. In order to invest the money they must purchase the other country’s currency by selling their own, increasing the demand of the foreign currency, and elevating its value. If the interest rate is low as in the example above, investors will choose to invest their money into different countries, dropping the demand for a certain currency and devaluing it through the use of supply and demand.

One of the biggest and most costly issues exporters experience is that their products get stuck at the customs, or sent back, as they don’t comply with local CIQ regulations. CIQ is the organ that can reject imports of your products to China, if you don’t comply with the standards required. The most preventive way is to apply for a CIQ declaration, before you even export your products to China, as it can save you much time, money and minimize risks. In this article, I explain all the essentials you need to know about CIQ when exporting to China. What is CIQ? In short words, CIQ stands for China Inspection and Quarantine and operates directly under AQSIQ, The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, one of the major quality management institutes in China. There are 35 so called CIQ-offices localized in 31 provinces around China, all acting as extended arms of AQSIQ. Some of CIQ tasks include: to check labels, make sure that products have CCC marking and that exporters follow the local Chinese regulations."

This sentiment is one that economists typically agree with wholeheartedly. The mutual gains from free trade among nations that specialize in the goods for which they have the comparative advantage results in increased global output and consumption among trading nations. That, at least, is the basic premise of free trade. But is there such a thing as unfair free trade? The World Trade Organization, whose mission is the removal of barriers to trade among all the world’s nations, thinks there is such a thing as unfair trade. Under certain circumstances, the WTO allows member nations to place protective tariffs on particular imports, and recently, more and more nations have taken action to protect their domestic markets from unfair trade practices of their trading partners: The number of new anti-dumping investigations soared by nearly 40 per cent in the first six months of this year, the World Trade Organisation said on Monday, reflecting increased trade tensions as the credit crunch began to take its toll on the global economy. Between January and June 16 WTO members started 85 new investigations compared with 61 in the first six months of 2007. China was the target of nearly half the probes, a jump of 75 per cent over the same period last year. Under WTO rules, countries can put duties on unfairly priced imports that are sold in export markets more cheaply than at home."

"text": "\"Difference between Demurrage and Detention Hariesh Manaadiar 8 July, 2009 129 Difference between, FAQ, Freight Container demurrage, detention, Difference between, Freight Container Import demurrage, export detention, import demurrage and detention are some of the terms that importers, exporters, freight forwarders etc come across on a regular basis.. There seems to be a lot of confusion in understanding the difference between demurrage and detention.. This is one of the most frequently asked questions relating to a container shipment.. Shipping and freight can be full of surprises and variables in terms of costs for a customer.. In a lot of cases, these costs maybe highly prohibitive to the extent of some customers abandoning cargoes at destination due to these costs.. In the context of containerised cargo these two cost items DEMURRAGE and DETENTION are crucial and could become a huge problem for the customers if they do not control their shipments properly and effectively.. Demurrage and detention is mostly associated with imports although it may happen in the case of exports as well.. In this article I will explain, What is demurrage and detention, why is it charged, who charges it and who pays for it with some examples.. Although the most common market practice is to combine demurrage and detention, it is important to know the difference between demurrage and detention.. What is Demurrage..?? Demurrage, is a charge levied by the shipping line to the importer in cases where they have not taken delivery of the full container and move it out of the port/terminal area for unpacking within the allowed free days.. Example : A container is discharged off a ship on the 2nd July.. Consignee approaches the shipping line to take delivery of the cargo around 12th July.. If we consider the standard free days offered by the shipping line (different to port free days) as 7 days from date of discharge, the free days will expire on the 8th of July.. As of the 12th July, the box would have been sitting in the port/terminal for a total of 11 days..11 days dwell time – 7 free days = 4 days that the box has overstayed its welcome in the port/terminal.. So, the line will be eligible to charge the consignee DEMURRAGE for 4 days from 9th to 12th July at a rate fixed by the line.. So what is Detention then..! ! Detention is a charge levied by the shipping line to the importer in cases where they have taken the full container for unpacking (let’s say within the free days) but have not returned the empty container to the nominated empty depot before the expiry of the free days allowed.. Example : So in the above example, the customer took the full box out of the port/terminal on the 7th of July which is within the free days (expiring on the 8th of July), but returned the empty container to the line’s nominated depot only on the 19th of July.. So the line will be eligible to charge the consignee DETENTION for 11 days from the 9th July (after expiry of free days) till the 19th July at the rate fixed by the line.. If you request additional free days from the shipping line they would usually ask if it is for demurrage or detention which means they want to ascertain whether the customer is going to be keeping the container with them before or after moving it out of the port/terminal.. Also in various destination ports, the definition of demurrage and detention varies and hence the line needs to know where their exposure lies.. Shipping lines very rarely offer free days for either demurrage only or detention only.. If the free days is shown as just “free days” it usually refers to “combined demurrage/detention” which is what most of the shipping lines apply.. If “x” free days offered for demurrage only, then that means that the client has “x” free days to pick up the full container after which the empty has to be returned the same day to avoid costs.. If “x” free days offered for detention only, then that means that the client can use the “x” free days to unpack the container and take it back to the depot.. They might have some unpacking problems at their warehouse which necessitates such requests.. Advertisement [quads id=”1″]So what about exports..?? Exports : In the case of exports, shipping lines normally give about 5 free days within which the shipper has to pick up the empty, pack it and return it full to the port.. In case of delays more than 5 days, the line charges Detention (generally same tariff as import detention) for the days that the empty is kept with the client as empty or full.. Once the container is packed and say for example the shipper is unable to ship the same due to any reason, then the Demurrage will be charged at the rate fixed by the line till the full container is shipped out.. What I have mentioned above is the generic and most common form of use of these two terms demurrage and detention.. In some countries like Saudi Arabia and Japan, the term demurrage seems to be used to denote storage in the port/lines terminal.. But in the majority of the countries there is a difference between demurrage and storage .. The best option would be for you to check with the shipping line in your country how these terms are defined.. So why does the shipping line charge demurrage and detention In a container shipping line operation, the cost of the container, repair, maintenance, leasing etc works out to around 20% of the shipping line’s cost .. A container, like a ship, will make money for its owner only when it is in circulation and not when it is idle.. In the above case, the container stayed for an extra 11 days with the consignee.. This means for those 11 days the container was out of the control of the shipping line which meant that this particular container did not yield any revenue for the shipping line for these 11 days.. The charging of the demurrage and detention by the shipping line is their way of getting some compensation for the period that this container was out of the revenue generating cycle.. Who pays for it..?? Well in the case of imports, the consignee would be liable for the same and in the case of exports, the shipper would be liable for the same.. There could however be cases where the consignee could not clear the container because they didn’t receive the relevant documents from the shipper in time.. In such cases, the consignee would look to the shipper for compensation, but for the shipping line, this is revenue lost and they need someone to pay for it.. So in summary,Shipping line offers X days as free for the full to be picked up and empty returned in the case of imports and vice versa for exports This means the client has X days to pick up the full container and return the empty to the nominated depot and vice versa for exports If the time frame exceeds X days, then the shipping line will bill the client for those many days that the container was in the custody of either the consignee or the shipper Demurrage relates to cargo (while the cargo is in the container)Detention relates to equipment (while the container is empty after unpacking or before packing)How are these terms handled and dealt in your country..?? Please do share for the benefit of all..

Canadian and U. S. trade laws are far reaching and pervasive. In addition, there are foreign laws that may apply to international transactions. If you are an importer or exporter, you need a clear understanding of the rules that govern trade in your area. Here are a few of the legislative requirements and regulations you need to understand: 1. The Harmonized System of Tariff Classification What it is: Developed and maintained by the World Customs Organization, this multipurpose classification system is comprised of names or terms for goods used as the basis for customs tariffs and for the compilation of trade statistics. It is reviewed and updated periodically to clarify, add, or delete any confusing wording, as well as to incorporate new products entering the market place. The next amendment is scheduled for January, 2017 Why it’s important: Not knowing the proper classification of imported goods may result in an error, leading to a chain reaction of errors on rate of duty, import and export controls, restricted goods, etc, resulting in hefty fines or delays at the border. 2. Transfer Pricing What it is: Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of contributions (assets, tangible and intangible, services and funds) transferred within an organization."

Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the joints. Anatomists use a unified set of terms to describe most of the movements, although other, more specialized terms are necessary for describing the uniqueness of the movements such as those of the hands, feet, and eyes. In general, motion is classified according to the anatomical plane it occurs in. Flexion and extension are examples of angular motions, in which two axes of a joint are brought closer together or moved further apart. Rotational motion may occur at other joints, for example the shoulder, and are described as internal or external. Other terms, such as elevation and depression, describe movement above or below the horizontal plane."

"text": "Building a massive physique, unfortunately, requires a more measured approach than simply trying to heave as much weight as humanly possible. It requires targeted muscle building. To know how to best train a muscle, you have to first understand its physical structure, specifically its biomechanics and fiber type composition. This information helps you select the correct rep ranges, weekly volume, and rest periods for optimal results. Many lifters don’t specifically tailor these loading parameters to individual muscles. For example, they’ll dedicate 4-6 weeks to “hypertrophy” and perform every exercise in the 8-12 rep range. That’s a mistake. Optimal hypertrophy training is muscle specific. In this article, I’ll give you all the necessary information on these two topics – biomechanics and fiber type composition – for each major muscle. First, I’ll begin with a brief recap on muscle fibers."

"text": "Movement Patterns: Exercises For Horizontal & Vertical Push & Pull, Quad & Hip Dominant, And More Last Updated on January 20, 2018Another one of the many ways of categorizing weight training exercises is in terms of their movement pattern. You see, while there might be hundreds of different exercises in existence, there’s really only a few basic movements the human body is capable of doing during an exercise. For the most part, these movement patterns are: Horizontal Push Horizontal Pull Vertical Push Vertical Pull Quad Dominant Hip/Hamstring Dominant Elbow Flexion Elbow Extension Accessory Movements Now let’s take a look at each and see which exercises fit which movement pattern, how it should affect your exercise selection, and why it all plays a key role in preventing injuries and imbalances. Horizontal Pushing Exercises A horizontal pushing exercise is any exercise that involves moving a weight straight out in front of you so that it’s going away from your torso horizontally (think bench press). Specifically, the most common examples of horizontal pushing movements are: Bench Press Low Incline Bench Press Decline Bench Press Flat/Incline/Decline Chest Press Machine Flat/Incline/Decline Flyes Horizontal Pulling Exercises A horizontal pulling exercise is any exercise that involves moving a weight in towards your torso horizontally from straight out in front of you (think rows). Specifically, the most common examples of horizontal pulling movements are: Bent Over Rows Seated Cable Rows T-Bar Rows Chest Supported Machine Rows Vertical Pushing Exercises A vertical pushing exercise is any exercise that involves moving a weight up vertically in relation to your torso so that it goes straight over head or at least in that direction (think shoulder press). Specifically, the most common examples of vertical pushing movements are: Standing Overhead Shoulder Press Seated Overhead Shoulder Press Lateral Raises Front Raises High Incline Bench Press Vertical Pulling Exercises A vertical pulling exercise is any exercise that involves moving a weight down vertically in relation to your torso so that you are pulling down from over head (think lat pull-downs). Specifically, the most common examples of vertical pulling movements are: Pull-Ups Chin-Ups Lat Pull-Downs Quad Dominant Exercises A quad dominant exercise is any exercise where the primary mover is your quadriceps (think squats). Specifically, the most common examples of quad dominant movements are: Squats Front Squats Split Squats Lunges Leg Press Hip/Hamstring Dominant Exercises A hip/hamstring dominant exercise is any exercise where the primary mover is your hamstrings, glutes, or posterior chain as a whole (think deadlifts). Specifically, the most common examples of hip/hamstring dominant movements are: Deadlifts (all variations)Glute-Ham Raises Hyperextensions Pull-Throughs Good-Mornings Leg Curls Elbow Flexion Exercises An elbow flexion exercise is any exercise that involves moving a weight towards you by flexing at the elbow (think bicep curls)."

These muscles act on different segments of the vertebral column (i.e. lumbar, thoracic, cervical). Collectively, they are the prime movers in spinal extension and spinal lateral flexion. The iliocostalis is the lateral muscle group, the longissimus is the intermediate muscle group and the spinalis is the medial muscle group. Each of these muscle groups can be divided into three segments, making a total of nine individual muscles that constitute the erector spinae. Classified as intermediate intrinsic back muscles, the erector spinae lie deep to the splenius muscles, serratus posterior superior and inferior, and all the superficial extrinsic back muscles. They lie superficial to the transversospinales muscles and the minor deep back muscles. The erector spinae muscles arise from different points on the pelvic and lower back regions, vertebral column or ribs. They have a parallel-oriented fibers, which run superiorly along the spine, and insert on the vertebrae, ribs or skull."

"text": "Orthopedics Physical Therapy The Flexion and Your Joints By Elizabeth Quinn Updated December 21, 2017Share Pin Email Print Peter Dazeley/Photographer's Choice/Getty Images Flexion is the bending of a particular joint so that the bones that form that joint are pulled closer together. During flexion, the angle between the bones of the limb at a joint is decreased. Flexion typically occurs when muscles contract and the bones thus move the nearby joint into a curved or bent position. Flexion is a physical position that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at a joint. It occurs when muscles contract and bones move the joint into a bent position. Hyperflexion Hyperflexion occurs when a joint is flexed beyond its normal range of motion. When the joint is hyperflexed, it is moved beyond the maximum safe flexion. Such extreme movement can potentially result in injury issues to the opposing ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Extension The opposite of flexion is extension, which refers to the straightening of a joint. In other words, flexion works to shorten a joint angle while extension works to increases it."

Normal walking speed primarily involves the lower extremities, with the arms and trunk providing stability and balance. The faster the speed, the more the body depends on the upper extremities and trunk for propulsion as well as balance and stability. The legs continue to do the most work as the joints produce greater ranges of motion trough greater muscle responses. In the bipedal system the three major joints of the lower body and pelvis work with each other as muscles and momentum move the body forward."

"text": "Answer by Out of Here Confidence votes 57.2KThe function of the large head of the humerus is to allow for this great amount of movement. The humerus also provides various muscular attachment that provide for both extension and flexion of the arm. The distal end of the humerus articulates with the olecranon of the ulna and provides a very stable joint, which only allows for flexion of the arm and no extension. The humerus provides support and structure for the muscles of the upper arm. It is the connection between the scapula joint (shoulder joint) and the radius and ulna joint (elbow joint) and it supports the movement of your arm. It has insertion points for muscles, and it produces blood cells, and minerals like calcium and phosphorous from blood marrow. In terms of structure, the humerus serves as a connection between the scapula and the elbow, where it links to the two lower arm bones. The humerus bone of the upper arm (the arm in anatomy refers only to the top part of the upper limb i.e. between the elbow and the shoulder). Like all bones it gives shape to the body and acts as an attachment site for the muscles around it. Most of the muscles that actually move the humerus are within the region called the thorax or torso."

In shoulder flexion, the shoulder joint angle decreases, specifically when you move your arm forward. For example, when you do a front raise exercise or close grip shoulder press, your arm is rising forward. This forward movement is called flexion of the shoulder. The prime movers for flexion of the shoulder muscles are: Pectoralis Major Clavicle Anterior Deltoid Biceps Brachii Short Head Coracobrachialis Which are the Shoulder Flexion Muscles? As you can see , we listed four specific shoulder flexion muscles that you need to know for NASM-CPT. There are many muscles that you need to memorize for the NASM Certification test.

Fixed joints are held together by a tough fibre that permits no movement and these joints also have no joint cavity. An example of a fixed joint is the skull because it can’t be moved which allows it to protect the brain. An example of fixed joint used in sport is football because you header the ball with your head. Slightly movable joints Slightly movable or cartilaginous joints allow very limited movement. Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. Ligaments or cartilage stops them from moving the joints too far. The joints have a cushion of cartilage in between the bones with bones vesting on these beds of cartilage. The cushion of cartilage stops the bones from rubbing together."

"text": "The Overhead Shoulder Rotation Quandaryby Derrick Blanton One thing I noticed very early on in my training journey is that people move and lift stuff differently. Even the top lifters in the world rarely do it exactly the same way. I find myself constantly making mental notes on different lifting strategies. As you might imagine, I also spend a ton of time studying the coaching techniques, rationales, and cues of the most prominent names in S&C; and then trying to tie it all together with my “in the trenches” observations and firsthand experiences. Every now and again, I see a disconnect between the “right way” to do a lift, and effective “real world” expressions of loaded movement. Of course, then I obsessively go about trying to figure out the root of the discrepancy!Take the shoulder, and what constitutes the safest, most congruent position as it arises overhead. Don’t worry, we are not going to dive back into the scapular “ shoulder packing ” debate; enough already with that one. Rather, let’s discuss this concept of rotation at the shoulder, specifically external rotation. ( FWIW, external rotation when initiated at the proximal shoulder does indeed have a close relationship with ‘shoulder packing’, as externally rotating the shoulder also fires the lower traps pretty hard as a stabilizer. But let’s stay on point here! )"

Scope of practice Optometrists, also known as doctors of optometry, are primary health care providers for the eye and visual system. They examine, diagnose, and medically treat eye diseases, non-surgical injuries, and disorders of the eyes and visual system, including refractive problems such as near- or far-sightedness, and identify related systemic medical conditions affecting the eyes and ocular adnexa. In some locations, optometrists may perform laser surgery. Optometrists may serve the general public; specialize in work with the elderly, children, or partially-sighted persons who need specialized visual devices; develop and implement ways to protect workers eyes from on-the-job strain or injury; or specialize in contact lenses, sports vision, or vision therapy. Eye and vision examination The typical optometric examination has three components: history-taking of both eye-related health and optical and visual functioning-related aspects of the patient, the evaluation of the health status for the detection of eye disease, and evaluating the optical and vision characteristics of the eye and observations during testings."

"text": "Published October 15, 2008‘Doc, Part of My Vision is Gone!’What conditions cause patients to present at your practice complaining first and foremost of vision loss? What can you do for these patients? Kimberly Reed, O. D. Few things provoke more anxiety (for both the patient and the doctor) than noticeable visual field loss. The underlying diagnosis is often serious and can threaten long-term vision and even the patients well-being. Glaucoma is the leading cause of visual field loss across all age groups. 1 However, glaucoma patients often dont present with an initial chief complaint of visual field loss, unless the disease is quite advanced. This review discusses conditions (other than glaucoma) that can cause symptomatic visual field loss, and it includes a practical guide to ancillary testing and referral of these patients. The Visual Pathway To fully appreciate the potential underlying causes for various visual field defects, it is important to have a working knowledge of the anatomy of the visual system (figure 1). Remember: Nearly half of the nerve fibers cross at the optic chiasm, so the loss of visual field on one side is quite different than loss of vision in one eye. Patients are often unable to accurately determine the location of field loss."

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness. However, with early detection and treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss. The optic nerve The optic nerve is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers.

While a diagnosis of glaucoma is certain when high pressure inside the eye, optic nerve damage, and vision loss are present, not all criteria are required to diagnose glaucoma. Elevated pressure inside the eye, called intraocular pressure (IOP), is a primary concern because it is one of the main risk factors for glaucoma. In fact, the prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common form of glaucoma, is higher with increasing IOP. Eye pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal eye pressure ranges from 10-21 mm Hg. Elevated IOP is a pressure of greater than 21 mm Hg. The term ocular hypertension (OHT) refers to any situation in which IOP is higher than normal. Glaucoma suspect describes a person with one or more risk factors that may lead to glaucoma, including increasing IOP, but this person does not yet have definite optic nerve damage or vision loss due to glaucoma. A great overlap can exist between findings in people with early glaucoma and in those who are glaucoma suspect and without the disease."

"text": "\"Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Fairy Symbolism Fairies can symbolise many things. As with the nature of many spiritual beings, the term \"\"fairy\"\" cannot be used specifically for one creature but rather is a general term often used to describe a range of ethereal creatures. While the common conception of the fairy is a small creature with wings, fairies were once considered to be a wide range of creatures, from the mysterious elves to the seductive mermaids, even the banshee (the sould of a dead woman who wails upon the death of a person) was considered \"\"fairy\"\" The common few of the many things fairies symbolises are : Nature being fragments of the earth's spirits, fairies are the corporeal forms of the natural forces living on our planet. Fairies are also known to represent beauty and feminity as most fairies are depicted as female with wings (wings being the symbol of freedom and liberation) hence the liberation of females or a symbol of female strength. The wings of the fairy can also denote spirituality. The wings of the fairy are its most striking and outstanding feature, it is what sets them apart from the other beings of the corporeal realm (much like the mermaid's tail and the selkie's sealskin) and wings are often depicted as the manifestation of the human psyche. To quote Renfield in the novel Dracula \"\"...the ancients were right when they represented the soul as a butterfly.\"\" It is also known that fairies can denote a sort of childlike or innocent state in a person as most accounts of fairies are made by little children whose innocent state enables their psychic abilities to percieve such creatures better than the adult mind which is tainted with preconceptions and practicality. However, the fairy can also connotate seduction or trickery."

The Juniper Tree is tale number 47 and Aarne–Thompson type 720: \"\"my mother slew me, my father ate me\"\".

In others, they are noble warriors, great leaders, and protectors of the innocent. With such a varied reputation, it seems that the Wolf is one of the most misunderstood beings in ancient folklore. Wolfs have a special place in our hearts, mainly because they are the ancestors of man's best friend, the Dog. They are also closely linked to another creature that has earned our admiration and respect, the coyote . The word 'wolf' is born from Germanic paganism tradition and comes to us from the Proto-Germanic word 'wulfaz' . In this ancient cultural context, wolves were seen as fierce and fearless warriors, as well as natural predators, thanks in part to mankind's immense fear of these beasts. As such, many Anglo-Saxon Kings and warriors, in an effort to channel their inner wolves, often used the word as a suffix or prefix to their own names. This is why names like 'Wolfgang', 'Wulfsbane', and 'Wulfmeer' are still common names in some parts of Europe, in particular, Germany. But why are these innocent animals the stuff of nightmares?"

Open Document The Goddess Artemis Those who invated Artemis’s privacy, her goals, or restricted her freedom where paid dearly. When the hunter, Actaeon, accidentally came upon Artemis while she was bathing, she turned him into a stag and then his own hunting dogs attacked him and tore him to pieces. Artemis is the goddess of hunting and the moon. Her Roman name is Diana, and Greek name is Artemis. Artemis’ symbols are a crescent, a stag, and arrows. Artemis has many characteristics and is connected to today’s society in many ways. She has a big family and lots of stories behind them, and there are many myths about her. First of all, Artemis had many different characteristics. Many people call Artemis wonder women, because she can do almost anything. She is brave as any man, as strong as any man, and can hunt and kill any beast."

"text": "\"What Is Jungian Analysis? C. G. Jung Jungian analysis is a method of psychotherapy developed by C. G. Jung, the eminent Swiss psychiatrist (1875-1961). As Robert S. Wallerstein, a Freudian analyst and former president of the International Psychoanalytic Association, says, Jungian analysis \"\"has endured worldwide as an alternative therapeutic system.\"\" Today, there are approximately 2,500 Jungian analysts around the world. Jung was an early colleague of Sigmund Freud. After Jung and Freud parted ways, Jung founded a distinctive school of psychotherapy. Jung is famous for such terms as \"\"archetype,\"\" \"\"complex,\"\" \"\"introvert\"\" and \"\"extravert,\"\" \"\"shadow,\"\" \"\"anima\"\" and \"\"animus,\"\" \"\"collective unconscious,\"\" \"\"synchronicity,\"\" and \"\"individuation. \"\" Dreams, the Ego, and the Unconscious Jungian analysis is a \"\"depth psychology,\"\" or psychology of the unconscious. \"\" The interpretation of dreams,\"\" Freud says, \"\"is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious.\"\" Perhaps even more than in contemporary Freudian analysis, dream interpretation is integral to any Jungian analysis."

One of the oldest examples (found on oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, 1766-1122 BC) is from pre-modern China, where a blue or green bird ( qingniao) was the messenger bird of Xi Wangmu, the 'Queen Mother of the West' who began life as a fearsome goddess and Immortal. By the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD) she had evolved into a Daoist fairy queen and the protector/patron of \"\"singing girls, dead women, novices, nuns, adepts and priestesses...women [who] stood outside the roles prescribed for women in the traditional Chinese family\"\". [ 1] Depictions of Xi Wangmu often include a bird—the birds in the earliest depictions are difficult to identify, and by the Tang Dynasty, most of the birds appear in a circle, often with three legs, as a symbol of the sun. [ 2]Native American folklore [ edit]Among some Native Americans, the bluebird has mythological or literary significance. According to the Cochiti tribe, the firstborn son of Sun was named Bluebird."

In a positive light they are a symbol of loyal, faithful, honesty and willing to fight injustice. It is seen as a powerful symbol of loyalty, intelligence and vigilance. As a descendant from the Asiatic Wolf man's relationships with wolfs goes back over 40,000 years and then it was the 11th sign of the Zodiac where it represented symbols both positive and negative. In some ancient civilizations the Wolf was a symbol of the underworld. In Egypt, the guardian of the dead was Anubis who was a wolf-headed god. The jackal portrayed as black was the symbol of both death and regeneration. The Wolf's quality made it associated to a guardian and therefore the protector of souls that entered the underworld. Its ability see well in the dark makes it a symbol of instinctive knowledge and the Greeks, North American Indians and Romans were said to associate Anubis with a star (Sirius) and called it a wolf star. Additionally, in ancient Mexico, the wolf was buried with human sacrifice so that it could guide it to the hereafter while in ancient Scottish legend the green wolf of the faerie world was believed to drive nursing mothers into the hills so as to provide milk for the fairy creatures."

"text": "The Meaning of Plants, Trees and Flowers in a Dream October 5, 2008 · Amy Campion What seeds are you planting in your own mind? Dreaming of growing things can be a potent symbol of our own inner growth and how we feel about that. When positive, this can manifest as dreams of flowers, fruits, beautiful trees or healthy gardens. But when negative, the symbols can be more like dark scary forests, overgrown vines, or dead, wilting plants. ( While different flowers, fruits and trees can all have their own unique meanings, I will address that perspective ina future post. This post is more about the concept of “plants” and trees in general. ) Positive plant dreams can be like other celebration dreams such as running or driving freely, swimming underwater or flying. This is often a healthy sign that we have learnt some important lesson – the growth, beauty and bounty of the plant representing new found feelings of confidence and self mastery. If we dream of nurturing a plant or garden, this can be a sign that we are learning to look after our self, to nurture our own inner needs, be they emotional, psychological or spiritual. To dream of picking flowers or harvesting fruit and vegetables can be a very powerful sign of reaping the rewards for hard-work invested, or of a new sense of abundance that might follow a period in life when it seemed we weren’t getting all the support and emotional nourishment we needed."

Because the Scottish rocky moors are virtually blanketed with beautiful heather, the plant has become a national symbol to the Scots. The flowering shrub is generally purple or pinkish in hue; less common is the wild white heather. The purple and pink heather have come to symbolize notions of admiration and solitude, while the rarer white heather brings protection, good-luck and the fulfillment of wishes. Since the heather plant has always been abundantly available in Scotland (a perennial flower that blooms twice a year), the Scots have discovered many uses for it over thousands of years, from rope making, to basket weaving, to fragrant brooms and mattresses (with the plant’s sturdy stems). The flowers were used to dye fabric, provide aromatherapy, cure illnesses and make ale. In fact, the Scottish heather ale is nothing short of legendary. Believed to have been invented by the ancient Picts (a now-extinct Celtic tribe who predated the Gaelic people in Scotland), the heather ale is considered the oldest in the world. Because the ale was so prized among the Picts, its recipe was guarded carefully – only the King knew it and would pass it on to his eldest-born son. According to legend, one Pictish King sacrificed the life of his own son in order to protect the secret ingredients from the Vikings."

What I didn’t know is that they’re quick easy projects you can do with your kids. Fairy Garden doors are very satisfying without much time or effort at all. and theyre so much fun! You can get really creative with this. I gathered stuff from around the house… found the old popsicle sticks, raided the sewing tins and junk drawers for buttons, thumbtacks, jewelry. After my first two, a ‘fairy door shoebox’ filled with tools and goodies, was a necessity. I started with Gorilla Wood glue, with hopes that they will hold up to water outdoors and in fairy garden containers. Its rated indoor/outdoor use with Type2 water resistance, but what I like about this glue is that it sets quickly and there’s no foam like with regular gorilla glue. UPDATE: Gorilla wood glue is the perfect glue for wood projects to be kept outdoors."

Fairies in literature are often the personification of human wishes and desire in the form of little people with magical powers. As a tattoo design they can be symbols of youthful innocence and a desire to retain a child-like imagination, wonder and awe. The very word fairy, derived from the Latin \"\"fata\"\", or fate underlies the use of fairies in literature and myth to explain the workings of destiny, with it's often unpredictable nature of gifts and disappointments. The use of supernatural beings, who often meddle in human affairs in fairy tales, has created a genre of story-telling that is rich in symbolism and that lays bare the psychological and social challenges as we pass through the stages of childhood to adulthood.

In this lesson, we will learn about the literary device of the motif, which is a recurring symbol that conveys a symbolic meaning. What is a Motif? A motif is a recurring symbol which takes on a figurative meaning. We see them in books, films, and poems. In fact, almost every text commonly uses the literary device of the motif. A motif can be almost anything: an idea, an object, a concept, a character archetype, the weather, a color, or even a statement. Motifs are used to establish a theme or a certain mood; they have a symbolic meaning."

"text": "\"Story and Analysis of Rumpelstiltskin11:53 AM 18 comments Read the Original Story According to Sara Graça da Silva and Jamshid J. Tehrani's research the Rumpelstiltskin stories are likely over 2500 years old, and possibly as old as the Indo-European's life on the Steppes 6000 years ago. Most of the stories related to Rumpelstiltskin involve a fairy being trying to take the woman to be his wife. In fact the version taken down by the Brother's Grimm, the story of \"\"Rumpelstiltskin\"\" is the only story I know of where the fairy wants a baby. This begs the question \"\"Why is this story different?\"\" It may of course be that Rumpelstiltskin is different because the woman who told it to the Brothers Grimm, being educated, changed it. It may be that they changed it. However, this article presumes that the story is different because of regional differences. Like many fairy tales, “Rumpelstiltskin” is a story that is without a character which we can define as pure or innocent. Rather, it’s a story of two obviously wicked characters in the form of the father who lies to and thus ends up getting his daughter in a lot of trouble with the king who is a greedy man who cares about nothing but the gold he can get out of the miller’s daughter. Not all the characters are wicked, of course."

Some of them are black as night all over with light organs (called photophores) in strategic places on their bodies, including one on modified dorsal fin that serves as a lure for the fish it preys upon. Some deep ocean fish don't have any pigment (color) at all - they're see through. The photo at right is a hairy anglerfish (click it for an enlarged view) with lots of glowing lures to attract prey in the utter blackness of the deep. The light organs create lights by using a chemical process called bioluminescence. Other deep ocean fish, such as the the gulper eel, have a hinged skull, which can rotate upward to swallow large prey. They also have large stomachs which can stretch to accommodate a fish much larger than itself. The gulper eel is particularly well-known for its impossibly large mouth - big enough to get its mouth around (and swallow!) creatures much bigger than itself. Fish that live down here must adapt to a very low food supply, eating only \"\"scraps\"\" that sink down from above, or sometimes eating each other."

The name is from Greek anoplo meaning \"\"unarmed\"\" and gaster meaning \"\"stomach\"\". With a circumglobal distribution in tropical and cold-temperate waters, the family contains only two very similar species in one genus, with no known close relatives. Contents [ hide ]1 Species2 Description3 Ecology4 Reproduction5 References6 External links Species [ edit]The currently recognized species in this genus are: [1]Anoplogaster brachycera Kotlyar, 1986 (shorthorn fangtooth)Anoplogaster cornuta ( Valenciennes, 1833) (common fangtooth)Description [ edit]While understandably named for their disproportionately large, fang-like teeth and unapproachable visage, fangtooths are actually quite small and harmless to humans: the larger of the two species, the common fangtooth, reaches a maximum length of just 16 cm (6.3 in); [2] the shorthorn fangtooth is less than half this size [3] though currently known only from juvenile specimens. [ 4]The head is small with a large jaw and appears haggard, riddled with mucous cavities delineated by serrated edges and covered by a thin skin. The eyes are relatively small, set high on the head; the entire head is a dark brown to black and is strongly compressed laterally, deep anteriorly and progressively more slender towards the tail. The fins are small, simple, and spineless; the scales are embedded in the skin and take the form of thin plates. As compensation for reduced eyes, the lateral line is well-developed and appears as an open groove along the flanks. [ 1]In adults, the largest two fangs of the lower jaw are so long, the fangtooths have evolved a pair of opposing sockets on either side of the brain to accommodate the teeth when the mouth is closed. According to BBC's Blue Planet, episode \"\"The Deep\"\", the fangtooth has the largest teeth of any fish in the ocean, proportionate to body size, and are so large, they can never close their mouths."

She was not feathered at first, but now is. We have managed to feed it (a mixture of worms and soaked dog and cat biscuits (broken up), and it will now eat from the ground rather than expect its food to drop from above. I have put worms (in soil) in front of her and she has caught them. I do not yet know if she is able to sustain herself or know what to eat."

It is a true snake and gets its common name from the color of its skin. Like all reptiles, olive sea snakes breathe air, but unlike the sea turtles, crocodiles, sea kraits, and other marine reptiles – which must nest on shore – the olive sea snake’s entire life cycle occurs in the ocean. Growing to lengths over six feet (2 m), this species is well adapted to a life on coral reefs. It has a flattened, paddle-like tail and a large lung that allows it to go hours between breaths at the surface. Given its length, it has special light sensing organs in the tail that allow it to remain totally hidden, including the tail, in its preferred hiding places among the reef, during daylight hours. The olive sea snake is a highly venomous snake that actively hunts small to medium sized fishes and benthic invertebrates, including prawns and crabs. It prefers to hunt only at night and only comes out of its daytime hiding places to take occasional breaths. Olive sea snakes are naturally curious and are known to approach SCUBA divers, not aggressively but inquisitively, especially at night. Though they only rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal."

Like most nudibranchs, the Spanish dancer is brightly colored and does not blend in well with its surroundings. This bright coloration, similar to that of the poison dart frogs and many other species, serves as a warning to potential predators that the Spanish dancer does not taste good and may even make a predator sick. Though this species spends most of its time crawling along the reef surface, it will swim when threatened, violently flapping its external gills and other appendages and displaying its brightest warning colors. This behavior reminded some observers of a flamenco dancer, earning the Spanish dancer its common name. Spanish dancers are specialized predators that prefer to eat sponges and concentrate compounds found in their prey to provide their own chemical defense and defense for their eggs. Like other nudibranchs, Spanish dancers are simultaneous hermaphrodites; all individuals are both male and female. Individuals cannot self fertilize, however, and they always require a mate. Once eggs are deposited on the reef surface, neither parent provides care. The eggs do contain a dose of the defense chemicals that the adults use to ward of predation, and they are brightly colored, an attempt to warn potential egg predators of this defense."

These saltwater fish have what resembles a large nose in between two eyes and almost seem to be frowning! I guess with an ugly mug like that you would be frowning too. This deep sea fish is often found at extreme depths off of the coasts of Tasmania and Australia. For this reason the Blobfish is rarely seen by the human eye. The Blobfish has the ability to withstand the high pressure of these depths because its body is actually mostly a gelatinour mass that has a density just less than water. This gives the Blobfish the ability to float right above the bottom floor without using much energy. As you can imagine, with the name like the Blobfish they aren't extremely active. In fact, most of the food that they eat simply floats right by them. This deep sea fish simply picks and chooses what to eat."

Entomology, University of California, Davis (2014)Answered May 26, 2014 · Author has 3.8k answers and 9.6m answer views What don't insects eat?! As insects are the most diverse form of life on earth, pretty much every organic (in the chemistry definition of the word, as in carbon-based) material on earth can be consumed by some species of insect at some stage of its life. To start, pretty much every plant and plant part can be eaten. Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, sap, bark, wood, spines, pollen, nectar seeds, fruits, spores, etc. Different species can specialize on certain parts: for example, there are xylem specialists and phloem specialists (the two types of plant saps). It is safe to say that for every part of every species of plant on earth, an insect exists that can eat it. A few insects even make their own food products: bees make honey from nectar and ferment pollen into \"\"bee bread.\"\" What about seaweed? It's not a plant, it's an algae… but certain insects eat it too!"

Its common name reflects the brilliant greens and blues that adorn the male’s exoskeleton (shell). Females are also brightly colored but are mostly red. Peacock mantis shrimp are powerful hunters, feeding on hard-shelled invertebrates of all kinds and even some fishes. They are well known for the extremely fast punching motion that they do with their front appendages to kill and break apart their prey. This punch is one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom and is strong enough to break through an aquarium’s glass wall. Peacock mantis shrimp use this behavior to break open snails and other mollusks and to completely dismember crabs, shrimps, and other crustaceans. Peacock mantis shrimp are known to have extremely complex eyes, and can see in more wavelengths of color than even mammals. Under special lights/cameras, scientists have demonstrated that the already colorful exoskeletons of this species are actually even more elaborate when viewed by each other. Peacock mantis shrimp dig U-shaped burrows in the sand near the reef’s edge from which they venture out to hunt and to attract mates."

There are over two thousand different snakes, and their diets vary as widely as the species. Snakes eat insects, crustaceans, fish, amphibians, other reptiles, birds (including eggs) and mammals. Different species of snakes may have very different diets. Some snakes are generalists. The common kingsnakes (Lampropeltis getula), for example, will eat lizards, other snakes, rodents, and birds.

This gull is white with grey wings and a dark black head during the summer nesting season. In winter, the black head becomes more of a subtle grey, and the laughing gull more closely resembles other gulls in the area. Unlike many seagulls, which can be found along inland waterways, the this species is more strictly coastal. It is the most common seagull in the Caribbean Sea, and it gets its common name from its call, which sounds like high pitched laughing. Like many seagulls, the laughing gull eats a variety of prey and will both hunt and scavenge for suitable food. They forage for a variety of living, coastal invertebrates and for human garbage. They also often steal food from other predators, especially the brown pelican . Adult laughing gulls have few predators, but they are likely taken by tiger sharks and other large, coastal sharks when they float on the sea surface. Like all seabirds, laughing gulls nest on land."

The classification system of fish is not stagnant and it will change when we have more knowledge, perhaps from DNA analyses. For ordinary purpose however the system I have used on these pages will be sufficient for many years. It is based on Fishes of The World (3rd Edition) by Joseph S. Nelson 1994. Menu Introduction Classes Myxini & Cephalspidomorphi Class Chondrichthyes Class Osteichthyes Introduction Welcome to this brief introduction to the classification of fishes. There are a few problems with the classification of fish, the first of which is the question 'What is a fish'? We all use the term Fish regularly but the term fish is not a natural group of animals in the way the terms Reptiles or Birds are. When scientists arrange living things into groups for classification they try to make the classification system they use represent the actual relationships between those living things. The more categories that two organisms share the more closely they are related. All living things are divided up into a series of classifications delineated as:- Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and species."

They sketch designs, select fabrics and patterns, and give instructions on how to make the products they design. Duties of Fashion Designers Fashion designers typically do the following: Study fashion trends and anticipate designs that will appeal to consumers Decide on a theme for a collection Use computer-aided design (CAD) programs to create designs Visit manufacturers or trade shows to get samples of fabric Select fabrics, embellishments, colors, or a style for each garment or accessory Work with other designers or team members to create prototype designs Present design ideas to the creative director or showcase them in fashion or trade shows Market designs to clothing retailers or directly to consumers Oversee the final production of their designs Larger apparel companies typically employ a team of designers headed by a creative director. Some fashion designers specialize in clothing, footwear, or accessory design; others create designs in all three fashion categories. For some fashion designers, the first step in creating a new design is researching current fashion and making predictions about future trends using trend reports published by fashion industry trade groups. Other fashion designers create collections from inspirations they get from their regular surroundings, from the cultures they have experienced and places they have visited, or from various art media that inspire them. After they have an initial idea, fashion designers try out various fabrics and produce a prototype, often with less expensive material than will be used in the final product."

I began scrolling through my old photos, came across some of our fun shoots that incorporated these fabulous jumpers and fun millinery. Not everyone likes wearing dresses but still want to ‘dress up’….trust me I get it! I was a HUGE tom-boy growing up and never ever thought I would be trotting around in high heels and tea-length skirts. Jumpsuits provide more of a modern fit to your regular dressy outfit. In a way they are a bit less feminine (this is not a bad thing!) than a dress because your angles become straighter which is more similar to a men’s suit but you can still look absolutely fabulous and rock some high-fashion racing style if paired with the right accessories. Your biggest obstacle with a jumpsuit is getting the fit correct. Everyone has different sized torso’s and leg length. If you have a jumpsuit that cuts your torso at the wrong spot, that piece isn’t going to do your body shape any favors."

"text": "Ura-Hara Street Clothing: The Rise of the Japanese Fashion Otaku November 12, 2012 by Andrew Shelton Many would be surprised to hear that at one point in time, Japan was quite possibly the world’s largest consumer of luxury goods. In 2008, the French luxury goods conglomerate, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) reported that its sales in Japan alone accounted for 20% of their fashion and leather goods department . A few of the well-known subsidiaries in LVMH include: Fendi, Donna Karan, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs. [ 1]Additionally, the high-end Japanese streetwear industry experienced extreme growth in the early 2000s. Companies such as A Bathing Ape were at the forefront of this expansion and dominated the industry for years. Despite their ‘street’ branding, t-shirts alone were and continue to be sold for anywhere from $80-$200 U. S. dollars in Japan. Many producers and analysts cannot seem to understand this phenomenon, but a few point to the rise of a new otaku culture. The Japanese Streetwear Industry Streetwear fashion was created in the early 1980s from the surfer and skateboarder culture in the United States. This brand is known as ‘streetwear’ because the skater and surfer street culture inspired the designers and their work. Early fans of the style noted that most streetwear clothing contrasted from high fashion for this reason."

You get to see beautiful models walk the runway in the best fashion you can imagine. You get to be a part of all the drama and glamour that accompanies such events. You also get to meet a lot of interesting personalities. Everything becomes a totally different story, however, if you are there as a photographer. Photographers get to look at fashion shows in two ways: through the backstage story and what actually happens on the runway. This is the biggest reason why fashion photography is one of the most interesting assignments for photographers.photo by See-ming Lee Like any other form of photography, there are things to prioritize when photographing a fashion show. There are techniques to follow and tips to keep in mind. Although taking a picture of models walking the runway may look simple, there is a lot of story in how one photo is made.

Pedro Guimarães for The New York Times Galicia, on the Atlantic coast of northern Spain, is the homeland of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, but is otherwise famous for being a place people try to leave. For much of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of gallegos, as they are called, emigrated to countries as far away as Argentina to escape Galicia’s rural poverty. Today, however, even as Spain teeters on the edge of economic catastrophe, the Galician city La Coruña has attracted notice as the hometown of Amancio Ortega Gaona, the world’s third-richest man — he displaced Warren Buffett this year on the Bloomberg billionaire index — and the founder of a wildly successful fashion company, Inditex, more commonly known by its oldest and biggest brand, Zara. Ortega has never given an interview, according to his communications department, nor does he attend award ceremonies or parties. He rarely allows his picture to be taken. Pablo Isla, who took over the company when the 76-year-old Ortega stepped down as chairman last year, rarely gives interviews or waves to the camera, either. In fact, the public face of Inditex is its soft-spoken communications director, Jesus Echevarría, who, as I discovered during a recent visit to the Inditex complex, is perhaps the only communications director on the planet who all but apologizes whenever he must answer questions about Inditex’s runaway success. The company’s outward modesty reflects its surroundings."

An image activist is anyone that creates, supports and celebrates positive images of people of color. In my case, I focus on women of color, specifically. An image activist is also anyone in the business of telling stories and putting out narratives whether as a writer, speaker or media personality. As an image activist, it’s my responsibility to tell “our” stories because other people have created a narrative for us that usually paints us in a bad light. There are disproportionate amounts of instances in the media and on TV where women of color are shown in negative or violent situations, so an important part of what I do is expanding positive examples in the media, which is a large part of my role at BET as Editorial Brand Director.

Bridgette Raes October 12, 2011 Bridgette Raes, BRSG Bloggers, Color, Contests, Dressing Your Body, shopping, Wardrobe Solutions I have a confession; I’ve never been much of a bargain shopper. I blame my mother for this. When I was a kid, my mother (we like to call her the original bargain hunter) would drag my sister and me to the sales racks at just about any clothing store we went to. Too small to see over most of the racks, I would spend a lot of time staring at sleeves, hems and my mother’s legs while she searched for a great deal. It was boring, tedious and tiring. Therefore, as an adult, boring, tedious and tiring are the first things that come to mind when I see any sort of a sale rack or find myself in a discount store. So, today, when I had a chance to attend a blogging event held at T. J. Maxx that would explain to me how they and Marshalls manage to sell name brand and designer fashion for up to 60% off the retail price I was interested to see if they could change my mind about shopping at a discount.

After studying medicine at the University of Bologna, he decided that the medical life was not for him. He found that he had an aversion to the sight of blood. He then stepped into the fashion business by becoming a window dresser in a large clothing store. With his photographic background and a keen eye for detail, it was not long before Giorgio Armani became a clothes buyer for the store. The next step up for the young man was his role as assistant designer for the well-known fashion designer Nino Cerutti. He soon began working for other major fashion labels, such as Zenga and Ungaro. Giorgio Armani took fashion design very seriously and soon decided it was time to go independent. By 1975, he and his partner Sergio Galeotti had formed a men's clothing line, and in 1976, he branched out into women's fashion."

If you do, make sure you apply for this on time.3 Contact local designers. Ask if they would like to feature their designs at your fashion show, it is likely that many of them would appreciate the opportunity to get their designs seen and people will be more likely to turn up to an event with local designers than they will to one just featuring clothes of the high street.4 Hire models. You don't need to spend a fortune on professional models, put out some adverts and hold auditions. Give the designers the chance to be at the auditions if they wish, they may have a particular look in mind for their clothes.5 Find people to do hair and make up. You don't need professional hairdressers and make up artists, try advertising at a local college which offers hairdressing and beauty courses, you will find at least a couple of students who would appreciate the experience.6 Decide on a price for tickets.

After all, the necktie is purely a decorative accessory. It doesn’t keep us warm or dry, and certainly does not add comfort. Yet men all around the world, myself included, love wearing them. To help you understand the history and evolution of the necktie I decided to write this post. The Origin of the Necktie Most sartorialists agree that the necktie originated in the 17th century, during the 30 year war in France. King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries (see picture above) who wore a piece of cloth around their neck as part of their uniform. While these early neckties did serve a function (tying the top of their jackets that is), they also had quite a decorative effect – a look that King Louis was quite fond of. In fact, he liked it so much that he made these ties a mandatory accessory for Royal gatherings, and – to honor the Croatian soldiers – he gave this clothing piece the name “La Cravate” – the name for necktie in French to this day."

Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks. “It feels like you are in a furnace,” said James Zanzo’t, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. “ It’s inhumane. ”Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, is not sympathetic.

Because of this coupling effect and the DMM's high impedance, it's not always possible to determine if the circuit under test is energized or de-energized, and this creates confusion for the person performing the test. Where are stray voltages encountered? The most common place to encounter this situation is unused cable runs or electrical wiring in existing conduit. When facilities or buildings are built and wired, it's very common for the electricians to pull extra wire thru the conduit for future use. These wires are typically left unconnected until needed. Another example would be an open ground or neutral on a 120 V branch circuit or an open phase in a three phase power system. What does a high impedance meter indicate when measuring a stray voltage? A high impedance meter presents virtually no load to the circuit under test."

"text": "Uncover Hidden Dream Meanings Cats. A dream of cats is a link to your feminine side and is associated with females. Cats are normally represented as part of nature and this is demonstrative in femininity or womanhood in your life - whether you are male or female. Cats are very self-sufficient, so your dream may be connected to independence, womanly instincts, originality, and supremacy. Unfortunately, a cat dream may also indicate difficult times or bad luck. Cats are notorious for playing, hunting and reaching out in the dark to find their prey. If you are a cat lover then this dream can signify that you are going to have more insight in daily life. Sometimes, if the cat is featured in a dream it can be somewhat confusing as to understand the true meaning. Cats are considered somewhat crepuscular as they are active between dawn and dusk. If a cat isn’t grooming themselves or playing, the chances are high that the cat is sleeping."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions How do you tell if the cat is a stray/feral or belongs to someone who is letting it out? It is often difficult to know the difference. Feral cats normally are afraid of humans and will run away if they see you. Stray cats may be friendly and will sometimes meow. A responsible owner whose cat goes in and out will have already sterilized it to prevent pregnancies. If the cat you see is exhibiting territorial or breeding behaviors such as fighting, yowling in heat, spraying urine, or showing signs of pregnancy, it should be caught and sterilized to help manage these troublesome behaviors and receive vaccinations. If the owner has not taken the responsibility to help the pet, you can still help it by bringing it in for surgery and vaccinations. How can I tell if a cat is unsterilized? Unneutered males roam up to 1 mile in search of females, fight with other cats, and spray urine on buildings or plants to mark their territory. Unspayed females make loud vocalization to attract males and stick their back end up while lowering the front of their bodies."

An idea is not discussed first and then a motion made; instead, a motion is made and then the idea is discussed. This chapter explains the basic steps in presenting a motion: how to make a main motion, how to discuss it, and how to take a vote on the motion. It also explains when a motion is out of order. For example, motions are out of order when they conflict with the rules of the organization or the laws of the land, or when they propose action outside the scope of the organization's objectives. BASIC STEPS IN PRESENTING A MOTIONBefore you present a motion, make sure that it contains all the pertinent information, including who, what, where, and when. Word the motion in the positive, not in the negative. Here is an example of a main motion: Member: Madam President, I move that we have a picnic on Saturday, June 15, at 3 p.m. in the park. This motion includes all the necessary information and states it in a positive manner. It is ready to present."

Learning the facts can help overturn the myths and stop the overpopulation and mistreatment of homeless cats. What is a Feral Cat? A feral cat is typically born in the wild or outdoors with little to no human interaction. If you attempt to get too close or try to pet them, feral cats view your hand as a claw that will harm them and will hiss and/or run away. Feral cats are born from other ferals or from stray cats. What is the difference between the two? Well, a stray cat was once a pet cat, until it was either lost or was abandoned by its owner."

By Hilary Hanson XContent loading A viral video this week sheds light on a heart-rending situation: The radioactive puppies and dogs of Chernobyl. After the catastrophic 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in what’s now northern Ukraine, many people forced to evacuate the surrounding area left their pets behind, thinking they’d be able to return in a few days. Instead, soldiers were dispatched to shoot the abandoned animals. But some survived. And hundreds of dogs that now roam the area around Chernobyl are believed to be their descendants. “Puppies of Chernobyl,” a short documentary uploaded to You Tube by filmmaker Drew Scanlon, shows a series of adorable puppies and dogs in Chernobyl’s exclusion zone — a 1,000-square-mile area around the nuclear plant where access is strictly limited. Workers at the plant, tourists and some others are allowed in, but only under tight government control. Several hundred people, mostly elderly former residents, also have moved back into their villages over the years, against official orders. Scanlon says in the video that officials forbade him from petting any of the puppies because of the hazards posed by radioactive particles on their fur."

The recommended or required vaccines vary by area as well - some cities, counties, and states have different regulations. So the best thing for you to do is call around to different veterinarians. Also call your local animal shelters and humane society, and even possibly animal control - to let them know you have found a stray cat you are willing to give a home to, but need some help getting started with. They may be able to provide some assistance that will help out - such as with coupons for discounts for spaying. Or they may be able to steer you to low-cost vaccine clinics, or some other useful things. Some areas I have lived in, the local animal control held a low cost vaccine ($5) and spay/neuter clinic, but only on special days. Some veterinarians will give a discount for some services if you let them know you are taking a stray in off the streets."

In order for you to have 120 volts they need to split the voltage with a center tap at the transformer called the neutral. This is the third wire brought to the neutral buss in your main panel. This wire is also referred to as the grounded conductor. The grounding conductor is the wire attached to the water main or electrode and than to your panel and is used to ground your electrical devices. The neutral or white wire in your circuit is the return for the live feed from your circuit and is bonded at the main panel to the grounding conductor so that any stray currents caused by equipment faults will go back to the utility transformer.

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain. People who have epilepsy have electrical activity in the brain that is not normal, causing seizures. There are different types of seizures. In some cases, a seizure may cause jerking, uncontrolled movements, and loss of consciousness. In other cases, seizures cause only a period of confusion, a staring spell or muscle spasms.

"text": "\"7 Medications That Can Cause Incontinence By Melanie Haiken, Health Journalist | Last updated: Feb 06, 2018All Rights Reserved When you look in your medicine cabinet, chances are you're searching for help with incontinence, not worrying about making it worse. But some of the drugs you take every day may be doing just that: triggering incontinence or making a sensitive bladder overactive. Here are seven possible culprits:1. Blood pressure-lowering drugs Which ones: Alpha-blockers; brand names Cardura, Minipress, Hytrin; generic names doxazosin mesylate, prazosin hydrochloride, terazosin hydrochloride Why they may be culprits: Alpha-blockers work to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessel walls. The trouble is, they also relax the bladder along with the blood vessels. And alpha-blockers can relax the urethra, the tube leading from the bladder to outside and the muscle at the neck of the bladder. This leaves you prone to stress incontinence, which is leakage when you sneeze, cough, laugh, run, or jump. What to do: You can start by doing Kegel exercises to increase your ability to control the muscles of the bladder. Good muscle control might be able to overcome the relaxing effects of the alpha-blockers. But if leakage is really a problem, level with your doctor (despite the embarrassment -- he or she has heard it all) and ask to switch meds."

Martin Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.anorl.2011.02.002 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Summary Very surprising diagnoses have sometimes been made of the illness from which Vincent van Gogh suffered. Most of them can be safely ignored; the diagnosis of Ménière's disease, however, put forward by K. I. Arenberg, deserves attention. This diagnosis was first criticized in a doctoral thesis in 1992 in the university of Saint-Etienne (France), and again in a book published by Henri André Martin in 1994, and the present study is based on these. Analyzing van Gogh's pathology presupposes awareness of the family context in which he lived, his eventful life, his artistic career and of his correspondence, which notably provides no support for a diagnosis of Ménière's disease. Analysis, indeed, enables Ménière's disease to be categorically eliminated in favor of temporal epilepsy, as confirmed in 1956 by Gastaut following the diagnosis initially made half a century earlier by Dr Rey. Van Gogh's illness is an example of the contradictory changes in affect, behavior and personality to be observed in epileptic patients. Absinth intoxication doubtless aggravated van Gogh's epilepsy and may account for certain prolonged episodes of confusion. It would be wrong, however, to speak of alcoholic dementia rather than of a probable epileptic psychosis or other pathology such as hallucinatory psychosis, or delirious attack, either isolated or related to late-onset schizophrenia."

Having one seizure does NOT mean that a person has epilepsy. What forms can seizures take?"

"text": "Medication for epilepsy Epilepsy cannot be cured with medication. However, with the right type and strength of medication, the majority of people with epilepsy do not have seizures. The medicines work by stabilising the electrical activity of the brain. You need to take medication every day to prevent seizures. Advertisement Medicines used to treat epilepsy These include: Carbamazepine, clobazam, clonazepam, eslicarbazepine, ethosuximide, gabapentin, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, perampanel, phenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, primidone, rufinamide, sodium valproate, tiagabine, topiramate, vigabatrin and zonisamide. They all come with different brand names. How effective is medication used for epilepsy? The success in controlling seizures by medication varies depending on the type of epilepsy. For example, if no underlying cause can be found for your seizures (idiopathic epilepsy), you have a very good chance that medication can fully control your seizures. Seizures caused by some underlying brain problems may be more difficult to control."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)General Questions Q: What does “Epilepsy” mean? A: The word “Epilepsy” is derived from a Greek word meaning “a condition of being overcome, seized, or attacked.” People used to believe seizures were caused by a demon and epilepsy became known as a sacred disease. Unfortunately, myths and fears still surround epilepsy, resulting in misconceptions about the disorder. Unaddressed, these concerns make the goal of living a normal life with epilepsy far more difficult than it needs to be. Simply put, the word “Epilepsy” means nothing more than the tendency to have seizures. Q: Is epilepsy a disease? A: Epilepsy is not a disease. It is a sign or symptom of an underlying neurological disorder. Q: What is a seizure?"

That will depend on the nature and severity of epilepsy someone has. Everyone is different. For many people, epilepsy has little or no affect on their lives.

Thanks to their rounded shape, smooth skin, and ability to move -- shrugging, lifting, rolling -- the shoulders are able to convey emotional nuances remarkably well, Givens says.

Baker III Institute for Public Policy on June 3, 2014 at 11:13 AMFollowing the legalization of retail marijuana sales in Colorado and Washington, and medical marijuana in 22 states with more to follow, marijuana legalization appears inevitable — even in “law and order” states such as Texas. The question is no longer if Texas will legalize, but when? This question has important policy implications for incarceration costs, civil liberties and medical marijuana patients. In this Baker Institute Viewpoints series, five leading experts on marijuana reform examine the question, “When will Texas legalize marijuana?”Read other posts in this series: Texas will legalize marijuana in 2019, by Rob Kampia, co-founder and executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project Marijuana won’t be legal in Texas anytime soon, by Mark Jones, Baker Institute fellow in political science When will marijuana be legal in Texas? Maybe not till 2023, by Jerry Epstein, co-founder and president of the Drug Policy Forum of Texas Texas voters will push for marijuana legalization by 2019, by Zoe Russell, assistant executive director of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition As president of the Houston chapter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), I get the question “When will Texas change its marijuana laws?” all the time. We had this discussion in the Drug Policy Forum of Texas online email list, and the answer depends on what you consider legalization. In the marijuana law reform community we have started referring to it as “regulation,” because in some people’s minds, “legalization” means weed all over the place — but when people hear “regulation,” they seem to be more comfortable with the idea and view it as a more thought-out process with limits. On the question of when Texas will legalize marijuana, I am an optimist. We have had some improvement in Texas from the draconian laws of the 1970s that made possessing any amount of marijuana a felony, so the process of regulating marijuana in Texas has started, though it has stalled as of late."

What's the typical life expectancy with a feeding tube? Expert Answers Jennifer Serafin, N. P. is a registered nurse and geriatric nurse practitioner at the Jewish Homes for the Aged in San Francisco. To be honest, this really depends on the person and why the tube is being placed. If someone has a stroke and cannot swallow, they can often survive for many years with a feeding tube. People who get feeding tubes due to weight loss from dementia tend not to do well over time. Studies show that tube feedings in these patients do not really increase weight or reduce aspiration risk. Aspiration (swallowing secretions/ food into the lungs) can cause severe pneumonia, which are difficult to treat. Since these patients tend to be frail already, this type of pneumonia can often be overwhelming to their fragile system, especially if it happens often. Therefore, they can continue to decline despite having artificial nutrition."

"text": "Epilepsy Awareness Month: CTE and Epilepsy – Making the Connection The connection between blows to the head (even those not resulting in a concussion) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is clear thanks to the persistence, innovation and research of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist and the doctor who wrote the book, “Play Hard, Die Young: Football Dementia, Depression and Death. ”CTE is quite the hot topic right now because of the number of high profile NFL players confirmed to have CTE (including Junior Seau) and the NFL finally recognizing the dangers of repeated concussions. It doesn’t hurt to have Will Smith releasing a new movie, “ Concussion ”, which is based on Dr. Omalu’s work. What exactly is CTE? The UC Davis Medical Center (a university at which Dr. Omalu is part of the faculty) describes CTE as a “progressive, degenerative disease that results from repetitive brain trauma that can only be definitively diagnosed after death.” CTE cannot be confirmed until a post-mortem brain analysis checks for tau proteins but brain imaging while the person is alive can be reviewed for “markers” of the tau protein. Interestingly, tau protein is “an abnormal protein common in the brains of elderly Alzheimer’s patients. ”The CTE Center at Boston University describes the symptoms of CTE as including “memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, parkinsonism and, eventually, progressive dementia. ”Robert has (or has had) every single one of those symptoms. I am convinced there is a link between CTE and epilepsy."

These wild members of the weasel family eat prairie dogs practically exclusively and also live in abandoned prairie dog dens. They rely on these large holes for protection from eagles and other predators. Within the past 100 years, dark-tailed prairie dogs actually have been nearly eradicated by ranchers and government agencies around the Great Plains because they compete with cattle for grass. They now occupy 1 percent of their former range. Ferret populations mirrored their decline. Even though wild ferrets were never abundant, their home range dwindled in 100 years from a particular region that stretched from Canada to Mexico to a single valley in Wyoming with 18 survivors. So, what do polecats (wild ferrets cousin) eat? They eat:rats,mice,rabbits,amphibians for example frogs,voles,invertebrates,snakes,and also fish."

"text": "Small Animal Nutrition Jun 10, 2012A variety of small mammals such as hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, chinchillas and ferrets are commonly kept as household pets for adults and children alike. These pets have been bred in captivity for years and are ideal for a variety of pet owners because of their small space requirements, quiet nature, ease of handling and relatively simple husbandry requirements. Diet is an important part of the care of these pets and each species should have its own specific nutritional needs met. A rabbit is not a rodent is not a ferret, and so on. * TIP: Find at least one healthy treat food that your pet likes and feed a small amount daily to check on how good your pet’s appetite is. If your pet will not eat its treat food, then there may be other problems brewing and you need to keep a close eye on your pet for health problems. Water Clean water must be accessible to any animal at all times. Some species, such as chinchillas and gerbils, require less water due to physiological adaptations to living in a dry environment, but they still need a water source always available. A sipper water bottle is the best choice because it cannot be contaminated with bedding, food, feces and urine. The “sipper” part of the bottle should be metal and not plastic, which can easily be damaged by inquisitive teeth."

The ferret is thought to be a subspecies of polecat and the ferret has the same long shaped body as a polecat and a weasel. The ferret is thought to have been domesticated around 2,500 years ago, which is roughly the same time that a number of animals such as the donkey and goat were put to domestic use. The ferret is used to help farmers hunt out rabbits and the ferret does this by crawling into the rabbit burrows, with the ferret using its incredibly shaped flexible body to its advantage as a ferret is often small than many rabbits. The rabbit is scared out of the burrow by the invading ferret and uses one of the many burrow exits to get away from the ferret intruder. Today the ferret is becoming an increasingly popular pet worldwide, due to the small size of the ferret and its quiet temperament. There are laws about ferret restrictions in a number of countries, to try and prevent the ferret from becoming a pest, as ferrets can be fairly destructive if released into the wild particularly if the ferret is not native to the country in question. Most ferrets spend an average of 18 hours asleep every day and it has been noted that ferrets sleep for about six hours at a time before waking up to play and eat and the ferret will generally return it its next sleeping section after an hour or so. Ferrets have also been observed being most active at dusk and dawn when it is not fully light or dark. Ferrets are renowned for playing their own version of hide and seek, which is particularly noticeable with those ferrets that are kept as pets."

Ferrets can live as individuals however ferrets are social by nature and by keeping two or more they can keep each other company. However, introducing a new young ferret to an older individual ferret can cause some challenges. Do ferrets bite? Just like puppies, ferrets will often play-bite, so they need to be taught from a young age that biting humans is not acceptable. You can do this by using verbal commands, such as using a loud ‘No' sound when nipping occurs. Like all animals, the ferret has the ability to bite but will only do so if they have a reason to. For example being agitated or alarmed or when fighting with other ferrets."

However, if you are truly ready to bring a ferret into your home the rewards will quickly become obvious to you and your family. HEALTHFerrets live for 6 to 13 years and during that time they will require regular vaccinations and veterinary check ups to remain in tip top shape. In particular, Ferrets are at risk of fleas and heartworm, so monthly preventative treatments like Advocate (for kittens) should be used. They are also at risk of canine distemper, and annual vaccination can prevent this. Annual health checks are recommended for ferrets up to 5 years of age and twice yearly health checks once they enter their senior years to keep them in ship shape.

If there is nothing better to do, they will sleep and they normally sleep about 18 hours a day even when they have free roam of your home They have very active metabolisms and really short digestive systems so they run out of steam really fast and must eat, sleep and poop to keep going.

If you are just thinking of how to treat them, ferrets can eat healthy meat and cooked chicken, turkey and game … burgers are not healthy meat. Good Cuts of Meats for Ferrets Include:chunks of beef,beef by-products (select vital organ meats),beef muscle meat,chicken breast, chicken thighs, drumsticks,finely ground meaty beef bones, fortified with vitamins and minerals (ash and taurine are natural derivatives)a small amount of venisonbeef and chicken livergizzardswhole game hensand some turkey These meats helps them keep their jaws and teeth clean (while ground beef does not). Raw meaty and thick bones (not ground meat), will help keep the teeth clean, as they require ripping and tearing for consumption. Most ferrets love chicken / ground beef as an occasional treat / pork organs and bones. As a treat, sometimes I offer my ferret beef rib steak, or a small piece (cooked) hamburger or fish. How to Make Your Own Raw Ferret Food Visit the butcher for high meat quality. Ask him to cut everything in half-inch cubes with organs included (chicken heart / liver / stomach and beef kidneys)."

"text": "Ferret Nutrition 101If you have just gotten a ferret, or are thinking of getting a ferret, it’s a really good idea to do a little research into the best nutritional diet for your new little pal. Pet MD is here to help you on your way. When and What Do Ferrets Eat? To begin, ferrets have a high metabolic rate, so they will eat around 8 to 10 small meals daily. And being strict carnivores, like cats, they need a high protein food source. Food pellets are an excellent source of protein for ferrets, which can be found at your veterinarian's office or the local pet store. You will need to read the ingredient list on the packet to make sure that the pellets are made of the most nutritious ingredients. As lists go, the ingredients are listed in order from highest to lowest quantity. As such, chicken or lamb should always be the first ingredient listed for a good ferret food. Additionally, avoid foods that include grain or corn."

While they usually aren't as consistent about it as cats, ferrets can be trained to use the litter box in their cages and out in the room. However, before we get into the specifics of litter training, it's important to know that many ferrets may never be 100% accurate while roaming around outside of the cage. So if picking up the occasional \"\"accident\"\" is going to bother you, ferrets may not be the pet for you!Choosing Litter & Litter Pans Ferrets can be very picky about where they go to the bathroom, which is why it's important that you find a safe litter they like and a litter pan that's big enough. When picking out a litter for your ferret, think of his health first and make sure the product is safe for ferret use. A lot of ferrets like to \"\"snorkel\"\" in their litter. This means that it's important to find one that is unscented and as dust free as possible. Ferrets have very delicate respiratory systems, and litters that have a strong odor and produce a lot of dust are not healthy for their sensitive lungs. Ferrets sometimes also wipe their bottoms before they get out of the pan."

"text": "Anyone that has used fertilizer products has probably noticed the fertilizer numbers that prominently present on sides of the products’ containers. In most cases, they show up on the front, but are also commonly located near the bottom of the container’s back or on the side. These fertilizer numbers are used to impart valuable consumer information by providing a breakdown analysis of the fertilizer’s nutrient/chemical contents. However, not everyone understands exactly how to read them or what they signify. Generally speaking, the numbers refer to the parentages of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, by weight, listed in this exact order and contained in the fertilizer. These numbers stand for the percentages contained within a specific package. For instance, an all-purpose garden fertilizer is typically referred to as 10-10-10, meaning that equal portions of the aforementioned nutrients are contained in the fertilizer mixture. Someone that purchased a bag of this mixture weighing 50 pounds, five pounds of the mixture would be Nitrogen; another five pounds would be Phosphorus and another, Potassium. Fillers are used for the remaining 70% to help disperse the nutrients or chemicals. Each chemical used in fertilizer mixes has a specific purpose."

Or, you are likely to kill your trees. Timing, formula, and application should be clearly understood before fertilizing anything. In good soil, your evergreen tree's best friend is WATER. The best and only thing you can provide your newly transplanted evergreen tree is WATER. Water your evergreen tree moderately, but make sure you do not soak or drown the tree. Like all landscape plants, evergreens remove nutrients from the soil. In the forest, needles and twigs accumulate on the ground and return nutrients to the soil (natural fertilizer). Under cultivation, evergreens usually receive fewer nutrients from this source because some needle and twig litter is removed beyond the drip line or tips of their branches. You should allow your evergreen tree needles to accumulate beneath the tree and past the drip line to help replenish nutrients for the tree."

These follicles are found in the ovaries. During ovulation, a mature egg is released from a follicle. While several follicles begin to develop each cycle, normally only one will ovulate an egg. After ovulation, the follicle turns into a corpus luteum. The follicles that do not release a mature egg disintegrate, a process known as atresia that can happen at any stage of follicular development. About 99 percent of ovarian follicles will disintegrate and never become mature enough to release an egg. Follicle growth and development are tracked during fertility treatments. During superovulation (used during IVF treatment ), the goal is to stimulate the ovaries to develop several mature follicles at once. An ultrasound exam, also known as an antral follicle count (AFC), may be performed as a part of fertility testing."

Those in southern climates can usually push the deadlines and plant into November. Spring planting is discouraged but can be done under abnormal circumstances. Spring planting can often result in lack of bloom for a season or two and slow establishment. WHERE TO PLANT - For best growth and bloom, iris need at least half a day of full sun. We've had success with plants receiving morning sun until 2:00 pm, then afternoon high shade. On the farm our irises receive 100% sun. Older, historic cultivars have been observed to tolerate more shade than some of the newer cultivars.

There are reports as early as the 1930s of collecting semen for insemination. However, use of AI in the United States has skyrocketed in the past decade. It is important to remember that AI is a tool that will work for your operation only if you are willing to manage and use it properly. One of the disadvantages of AI is that it may require a higher level of management than some natural-service mating systems. For example, there is a greater chance of human error associated with AI than with natural service. When a boar naturally mates a sow, the semen is not subjected to severe changes in environment and is generally deposited into the female more than once during a period that spans the optimal time for fertilization. In contrast, many environmental changes are possible when semen is collected, diluted, transported and then deposited artificially. The inseminations must be done correctly and at the optimal times. To obtain a high conception rate and litter size, estrous detection (heat checking) must be done carefully and without fail."

When beginning the infertility treatment process, diagnostic testing will be the first step you take before your clinical plan can be created. Infertility is diagnosed based on the results of three main tests: day 3 hormone bloodwork and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) for the female partner, and a semen analysis for the male partner. Each test looks at a different component significant to conception: Day 3 hormone bloodwork: FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) provide insight about egg quantity, while estrogen and LH (Luteinizing Hormone) levels can indicate information about the maturation of follicles. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): Determines the condition of the fallopian tubes and uterus. Semen analysis: Evaluates the quantity and quality of the male partner’s sperm, specifically looking at parameters such as sperm count, morphology (size and shape), and motility (the number moving in a forward progression). Prior to starting diagnostic testing, many patients have already had their blood drawn and know what to expect regarding hormone evaluation. Most patients, though, have not experienced an Hysterosalpingogram. Fear of the unknown can make many patients nervous or apprehensive about this aspect of their diagnostic work-up. While many patients are surprised at how quick and painless an HSG is, understanding how the HSG is performed can help put your mind at ease when preparing for the test. Why Do I Need a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)?"

"text": "\"Forage Bermudagrass: Selection, Establishment, and Management Charles Stichler, Extension Agronomist, Uvalde David Bade, Extension Agronomist, College Station Introduction In April of 1943, with the introduction of Coastal bermudagrass (an F1 hybrid between selections from Georgia and South Africa), forage production with perennial grasses changed dramatically and permanently. Hybrid bermudagrass is sterile and will not produce viable seed, so it must be vegetatively propagated and is usually planted by using \"\"sprigs.\"\" Sprigs are made up of either root pieces or rooted stolons or runners. Immediately after its introduction, extensive research began in many states to evaluate the forage potential of this hybrid grass under various management schemes. Experiments with nitrogen rates as high as 1,800 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre and other nutrients were conducted under dryland and irrigated conditions to determine just how much forage this new \"\"miracle\"\" grass could produce. Countless feeding trials were also conducted to determine the digestibility and nutritive value under various management practices. Since then, Coastal bermudagrass has become the standard by which other grasses are compared. These trials have shown that Coastal bermudagrass is more drought and grazing (defoliation) tolerant than many grasses. These tolerance levels are due to its spreading growth by stolons and rhizomes and its ability to reestablish itself if mismanaged or partially killed out. It responds well to adequate fertility and rainfall or irrigation and can grow under a variety of soils and climatic conditions in the South."

"text": "How and if you fertilize and water a peach or nectarine tree will depend on several factors including: soil type, soil fertility, weather conditions and location. These trees grow satisfactorily in moderately fertile soils without fertilizer. However, fertilizer is needed in soils of low fertility or where competition from other plants is heavy. Best Growing Conditions Sun - The best and most fruits will be produced when trees are growing in full sun. However, trees that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops of fruit. Soil Type Preferred - Peach and nectarine trees grow and produce the best fruit in well-drained but moist fertile soil that is rich in organic matter, but tolerate a wide range of soils as long as water and nutrients are not limiting and soil p H is adequate. Peach or nectarine tree roots will not tolerate soils where water remains on or near the surface for more than one hour after a heavy rain. They are tolerant of heavy clay soils if drainage is good. In soil with low fertility or compact clay it'll be worth your time to mix in some organic compost to the native soil. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet."

The local production of this crop meets only a small percentage of this consumption. In response to demand, strawberry acreage has been steadily increasing throughout the state in recent years. Much of the production has traditionally been in matted row culture with the plantings being maintained for several years. Significant acreage is also being fall-planted as an annual crop using a plasticulture hill system, and the commercial industry is quickly shifting to this technology. Markets And Marketing Considerations Assessment of the strawberry market potential of your area and the possible methods of marketing the fruit is a critical first step in the successful management of any strawberry farm."

Durgan, Extension Weed Scientist; Charla Hollingsworth, Extension Plant Pathologist; Ian V. Mac Rae, Extension Entomologist; and George Rehm, Extension Soil Scientist. Introduction Winter wheat acreage has always been much smaller than that of spring wheat in Minnesota. From 1999 to 2004, the winter wheat acreage in Minnesota varied from 15,000 to 60,000 acres. The primary constraint to winter wheat production in Minnesota is winter kill. Newer varieties and production practices have reduced this risk, making winter wheat a more viable option in the cropping systems of the state. The benefits of winter wheat The benefits of winter wheat include: A higher yield potential than spring wheat Greater profitability as it often requires less inputs than spring wheat More efficient use of labor and machinery as it is planted and harvested during periods with few competing field activities Establishment of a cover to reduce wind and water erosion Establishment of a cover for wildlife in fall and early spring Winter wheat is very well suited for no-till cropping systems in which standing residue traps snow and reduces winter kill by insulating the crop from lethal temperatures. Incentive payments like the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) to adopt direct seeding practices and/or establishment of winter wheat as a cover crop may be available to provide the afore mentioned benefits for your operation. Check with your local NRCS and FSA offices about applicable incentive programs. Characteristics of winter wheat Winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) differs from spring wheat because it can withstand freezing temperatures during its early vegetative growth for extended periods of time and it requires a vernalization period (a period of cooler growing conditions) to trigger reproductive growth. For these reasons, winter wheat needs to be planted in the fall."

"text": "\"Forage Bermudagrass: Selection, Establishment, and Management Charles Stichler, Extension Agronomist, Uvalde David Bade, Extension Agronomist, College Station Introduction In April of 1943, with the introduction of Coastal bermudagrass (an F1 hybrid between selections from Georgia and South Africa), forage production with perennial grasses changed dramatically and permanently. Hybrid bermudagrass is sterile and will not produce viable seed, so it must be vegetatively propagated and is usually planted by using \"\"sprigs.\"\" Sprigs are made up of either root pieces or rooted stolons or runners. Immediately after its introduction, extensive research began in many states to evaluate the forage potential of this hybrid grass under various management schemes. Experiments with nitrogen rates as high as 1,800 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre and other nutrients were conducted under dryland and irrigated conditions to determine just how much forage this new \"\"miracle\"\" grass could produce. Countless feeding trials were also conducted to determine the digestibility and nutritive value under various management practices. Since then, Coastal bermudagrass has become the standard by which other grasses are compared. These trials have shown that Coastal bermudagrass is more drought and grazing (defoliation) tolerant than many grasses. These tolerance levels are due to its spreading growth by stolons and rhizomes and its ability to reestablish itself if mismanaged or partially killed out. It responds well to adequate fertility and rainfall or irrigation and can grow under a variety of soils and climatic conditions in the South."

In contrast, populations that practice birth control will have lower fertility levels as a result of delaying first births (a lengthened interval between menarche and first pregnancy ), extended intervals between births, or stopping child-bearing at a certain age. Such control does not assume the use of artificial means of fertility regulation or modern contraceptive methods but can result from the use of traditional means of contraception or pregnancy prevention (e.g., coitus interruptus )."

The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and aqua cables are multi-mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. An optical fiber or optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawingglass ( silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. [ 1] Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than electrical cables. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss; in addition, fibers are immune to electromagnetic interference, a problem from which metal wires suffer excessively. [ 2] Fibers are also used for illumination and imaging, and are often wrapped in bundles so they may be used to carry light into, or images out of confined spaces, as in the case of a fiberscope. [ 3] Specially designed fibers are also used for a variety of other applications, some of them being fiber optic sensors and fiber lasers. [ 4]Optical fibers typically include a core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction. Light is kept in the core by the phenomenon of total internal reflection which causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. [ 5] Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-mode fibers, while those that support a single mode are called single-mode fibers (SMF)."

Many factors have influenced the increasing importance of MADI in pro audio production systems. These include an overall growth in the use of digital audio equipment, and the ever increasing demand for greater numbers of audio channels in large productions. Surround sound production has also raised the requirements of multi-Channel applications. MADI is an attractive and convenient interface technology, as it provides the simplest method of transmitting 'sample accurate' audio channels over long distances. The balance between operating distances, installation costs and overall maintenance is exemplary. Technically, MADI keeps all AES/EBU 24-bit signals in serial, while allowing the sample rate to still vary by +/-12.5%. Time Division Multiplexing is used to fit all audio channels into a single cable. MADI can also be used to transmit high sample rate audio signals."

"text": "\"Author: Edd Dawson What is Broadband? Broadband has long been the generic term for any kind of internet service in the UK which allows you access to the web, email, streaming TV and other online services at high speed. Broadband in the UK first emerged in the early 2000's and was provided through BT phone lines as an always on service meaning there was no need to connect and disconnect when you wanted to use it and was independent of your telephone service so you could use the internet and make phone calls at the same time. The past few years have seen broadband develop in several ways leading to a number of different types of broadband, each with their own subtle differences from each other. The most common types currently available are: ADSL - Short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, ADSL is the original type of broadband that was launched by BT and is delivered over a standard BT phone line. ADSL services require that you also have a working telephone service. This is the most common type of broadband in the UK. There are a few flavours of ADSL nowadays the most common being ADSL2+ which currently allows for speeds of up to 24Mbps, however the speeds you can achieve with all ADSL broadband types will depend on how far you live from your telephone exchange, the further away you are the lower the maximum speeds. LLU - Short for Local Loop Unbundling, LLU is very similar to ADSL but is provided by a broadband provider on their own equipment at the telephone exchange rather than using rented equipment from BT. Historically this meant that as well as costing less it could actually give higher speeds, however this is now no longer so at most exchanges since BT upgraded their ADSL services to match the speeds that LLU suppliers were offering."

Fast broadband is useful for many reasons, including... Shared connections: Where ADSL broadband can struggle to support more than a couple of people at once, fast broadband is far more capable of handling multiple simultaneous users, so it’s essential for families and shared homes. Video streaming: As we cut the cord on traditional TV broadcasts in favour of Netflix and other streaming video services, fast broadband helps us enjoy HD video streams without interruption. Gaming: Steam and other digital storefronts are making boxed videogame releases a thing of the past. Without fast broadband the huge size of modern titles means you could be waiting a long time to play. Large file transfers: The faster your broadband the less time it will take to download or upload large amounts of data. How can I get faster broadband?"

"text": "Home > Accesories and Essentials >Optical Cable Buyers Guide An optical cable is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to connect your devices together to transfer a digital sound signal. Also known as SPDIF or Toslink, an optical cable consists of a fibre optic that transfers light rather than an electrical signal as a digital coaxial cable would for example. This means they are less prone to electrical interference. Optical cables are easy to connect and use, They have a plug on each end of the cable to prevent dirt and dust getting into it, which needs to be removed before use, and replaced when not in use. The socket on your player or amplifier will normally have a spring operated gate that automatically opens when the plug is inserted and closes when the cable is removed. There are many different types of cable available, and which one you choose really depends on what you will be using the cable for. Home Cinema Optical Cables Buying an optical cable for use in your home cinema system will require a better quality cable than you may otherwise normally buy. This is mainly due to the high bit rate audio signals such and Dolby Digital and DTS that pass through them from your DVD or Blu-ray player to your home cinema amplifier or surround sound system. Although cheaper cables will do, considering the relatively small price difference we’d advise you spend a bit more for these more demanding applications. If you have a high-definition capable amplifier and Blu-ray player then an optical cable will not suit, you will need an asian dating online uk instead."

Learn the art of photography from a professional photographer with more than 30 years experience. Learn More at thegreatcourses.com15 Answers Lawrence Mallasker, Developer in Telecommunication Networks (2002-present)Answered Jul 7, 2017Fiber Optic cabling has revolutionized the way that data travels around the globe. This type of high-speed cable can transmit data at much faster rates without the degradation of quality typically associated with copper wires. Fiber Optic cable has a complex design and structure. This type of cable has an outer optical casing that surrounds the light and traps it within a central core. The inside of the cable (the core) can be configured in two different ways – Single-mode and multi-mode; although the difference may seem small, it makes a huge difference to the performance and usage of fiber optic cables. Single-mode Fiber Optic Cable The inside of a single-mode fiber optic cable has a small central core that allows only one mode of light to travel through it at once. The core of a single-mode cable is usually 9/125 (a ratio of 9 to 125 microns). Some single-mode cables are capable of achieving speeds of 10gbps over distances of 40km."

"text": "Tech Papers White Paper on Implementing PTP in Substations David Ingram, Brian Smellie This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. Executive Summary Advanced substation automation applications such as wide area phasor monitoring (Phasor Measurement Unit – PMU) and sampled value process buses require synchronising accuracy to be better than 1 µs, rather than the 1–2 ms that is generally required today. Substation automation systems are now using Ethernet to communicate between SCADA systems and protection relays. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time synchronisation system that uses the substation LAN, rather than a dedicated time distribution system, that can synchronise protection relays, merging units and other devices to better than 1 µs. This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. The operation of PTP using the “Power Profile” is explained and examples of how PTP can be used in new and existing substations are presented. Tekron has over fifteen years’ experience in producing timing equipment for the power industry. Their latest substation timing products support PTP and this white paper explains how these can be used to meet the timing needs of modern substation automation applications, while retaining compatibility with existing substation protection and control designs. This allows utility and industrial substation operators to gradually gain experience with PTP.1. Challenges in substation timing Time synchronisation has been required in substations for many years to ensure consistent time-stamping of events, with a required accuracy of 1 millisecond (1 ms)."

Perhaps you are an ardent historian and want to write a novel? In either case, historical fiction could be the ideal genre for you. Historical fiction novels cover the entire span of history so you are bound to be able to find a story set in your perfect era. But what makes a great historical fiction? A great historical fiction novel provides us with a window into another world; more than that, it inspires us to open a door to find out more about the era in which the story was set. Dry history text books, long on facts but short on drama, can often leech the life out of history, putting many of us off for life. But, approached from a different angle, driven by a well-crafted story with compelling characters, history can burst back into life. All historical fiction books share some common features, so if you are a budding historical fiction writer, or a reader who wants to know more, here are the characteristics of a historical fiction novel.

You’re limited to ten books at a time, so if you want more you’ll have to return a book or two and then the system will continue to let you add to your library. People have asked me about results in this program and so far I have to say that when it comes to non-fiction, I’m not terribly impressed. At least my non-fiction books aren’t doing great. That, however, makes a lot of sense. Why? Because Kindle Unlimited (being a subscription service) speaks much more to the fiction reader, in particular the genre fiction reader, than it does to anyone else. Now this doesn’t mean that your book won’t do well there if you’ve written non-fiction, but the program really bodes well for the fiction crowd. With that in mind.

"text": "\"What is Postmodern Literature? February 3, 2014Defining the parameters of postmodern literature is a daunting task, due not only to disagreements about what texts can or can’t be approached as postmodern, but also to the paradoxical and elusive nature of the postmodern movement. Paradoxical seems to be an effective word to invoke when approaching postmodern literature–as Barry Lewis points out in his distillation of Linda Hutcheon’s views in his essay entitled “Postmodernism and Fiction,” postmodern works simultaneously create and destabilize meaning and conventions in their ironic or critical use of works from the past (171). Given that the postmodern movement embraces instability and skepticism as its main traits, how do we even begin to grasp what literature can or can’t be approached as postmodern? In this post, I will briefly trace out the major components of postmodernity and postmodern literature using the 2011 edition of The Routledge Companion to Postmodernism (RCP)–and when appropriate, I will bring in original examples to illuminate some of the points made in the text. Before addressing the issue of postmodern literature, it’s important to quickly overview elements, trends, and perspectives that can be approached as postmodern. In the introduction to the RCP, Stuart Sims points out that postmodernity is characterized by skepticism and rejection, particularly the rejection of cultural progress, and even more so, the implementation of universalizing theories or grand narratives (sometimes called metanarratives). I am reminded of a universalizing theory when recalling a conversation I once had with one of my literature professors, in which she claimed that all narratives are either about “sex or war.” A postmodern stance against my professor’s claim would argue for the inability of sex and war to constitute the totality of a particular narrative. The issue with grand narratives is that in their effort to generalize, they fail to account for experiences and beliefs that do not fit within their parameters or confines."

"text": "\"By analogy, consider that when you go to prison, everything of value is taken from you - your time, your attention, your freedom, your ability to function as a contributing member of society, the option to apply your intellectual or manual skills. Even your property is of no use to you if you cannot benefit from ownership. When government does this, it must assume total responsibility for you and pay your way. So, your food, clothing, housing/shelter, medical care, etc are provided because that is the State\\'s legal responsibility. Likewise, when the UNITED STATES declared bankruptcy, pledged all Americans as collateral against the national debt, and confiscated all gold, eliminating the means by which you could pay, it also assumed legal responsibility for providing a new way for you to pay, and it did that by providing what is known as the Exemption, an exemption from having to pay for anything. In practical terms, though, this meant giving each American something to pay with, and that \\\"\"something\\\"\" is your credit. Your value to society was then and still is calculated using actuarial tables and at birth, bonds equal to this \\\"\"average value\\\"\" are created. I understand that this is currently between one and two million dollars. These bonds are collateralized by your birth certificate which becomes a negotiable instrument.

An Introduction to Creative Non-Fiction What “is” creative non-fiction? Creative nonfiction merges the boundaries between literary art (fiction, poetry) and research nonfiction (statistical, fact-filled, run of the mill journalism). It is writing composed of the real, or of facts, that employs the same literary devices as fiction such as setting, voice/tone, character development, etc. This makes if different (more “creative”) than standard nonfiction writing. Sometimes called literary journalism or the literature of fact, creative nonfiction merges the boundaries between literary art (fiction, poetry) and research nonfiction (statistical, fact-filled, run of the mill journalism). It is writing composed of the real, or of facts, that employs the same literary devices as fiction, such as setting, voice/tone, character development, etc. Creative nonfiction should (1) include accurate and well-researched information, (2) hold the interest of the reader, and (3) potentially blur the realms of fact and fiction in a pleasing, literary style (while remaining grounded in fact). In the end, creative nonfiction can be as experimental as fiction—it just needs to be based in the real."

It is also true that fact and fiction are two words that show a great degree of difference between them when it comes to their connotations. Fact is a true happening whereas fiction is an imaginative happening. In other words, it can be said that anything that is true is a fact. On the other hand , anything that is fictitious and imaginative can be called fiction. This is the reason novels and short stories are called fiction. What is Fact? As a matter of fact, the word fact is derived from the Latin factum. It means an occurrence or an event. This shows that fact is based on truth."

You can read more about Trupkiewicz in the July/August 2014 issue of Writer’s Digest and in an exclusive extended interview with her online. In this post, Trupkiewicz follows up on her discussion of dialogue with an impassioned plea: stick to said . * * * * * Welcome back! Part I of this two-part post talked about two key aspects of writing dialogue. First, dialogue isn’t usually the place to use complete sentences because most people in everyday conversations speak in phrases and single words. Second, effective dialogue takes correct punctuation so the reader doesn’t get yanked out of the story by a poorly punctuated exchange. Remember, the goal in writing fiction is to keep the reader engaged in the story. But don’t give up on writing to spend the rest of your life doing something easier, like finding the Holy Grail, just yet. There’s one more key aspect that makes dialogue effective for fiction writers."

"text": "Fiction is the term for any invented literary narrative or, more broadly, anything made up. In literature, it refers to novels, short stories, and other works of art that do not purport to tell true stories. While they may be inspired by real events or people, fiction writers create characters, dialogue, and plots entirely from their imaginations. Storytelling forms the basis of most other entertainment media, including movies, television, and comic books. Science fiction, mystery stories, and romances are among the popular subsets, or genres, of fiction. Myths and legends of gods and heroes are among the earliest examples of human storytelling. After the advent of written language, early writers such as Homer combined these with human sagas to create the first literary works, epic poems like The Odyssey and Beowulf. Daniel Defoe pioneered the English novel with Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, while China’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms effectively invented the form in the Orient. Gustave Flaubert, Mark Twain, and Herman Melville were among the masters of the novel form in the 1800s. In the 20th century, new media proliferated, including motion pictures, radio, and television."

You don't really know do you? Well that's OK, because then there would be little point in writing this article. Speculative fiction is a term, attributed to Robert Heinlein in 1941, that has come to be used to collectively describe works in the genres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. But if we already have science fiction, fantasy, and horror, then why do we need to muddy the water with yet another genre description? Because speculative fiction addresses fiction that includes Weird Tales, Amazing Stories, and Fantastic Fiction. It also may include other genres, such as Mysteries, Alternate Histories, and Historical Fiction. Speculative fiction can be a collective term to describe works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror and also addresses works that are not science fiction, fantasy, or horror, yet don't rightly belong to the other genres. Speculative fiction is also more than the collective title for works of horror, science fiction, and fantasy."

Two important strands of fictionalism are modal fictionalism developed by Gideon Rosen, which states that possible worlds, regardless of whether they exist or not, may be a part of a useful discourse, and mathematical fictionalism advocated by Hartry Field, which states that talk of numbers and other mathematical objects is nothing more than a convenience for doing science. Also in meta-ethics, there is an equivalent position called moral fictionalism. Many modern versions of fictionalism are influenced by the work of Kendall Walton in aesthetics. Fictionalism consists in at least the following three theses: ⁕Claims made within the domain of discourse are taken to be truth-apt; that is, true or false. ⁕The domain of discourse is to be interpreted at face value--not reduced to meaning something else. ⁕The aim of discourse in any given domain is not truth, but some other virtue.

What is pulp fiction anyway? Please don’t get anywhere near confusing it with the nihilistic, over-praised and much too often over-copied film of the same name. True pulp fiction goes back to the magazines that used cheaper pulp paper in order to sell in great volume to a voracious reading public. These magazines had their heyday in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. It was fiction for the people, for the guy on the crowded subway going to work, or the busy mother with five kids who got a little reading time at night. It was for the people who wanted to be caught up in a fictive dream. It was not written in a style aimed at some elite literati. It was about dames and thugs and gats and roscoes.

In that instance, you might be surprised to learn that it’s not as simple as opening the book and reading the words."

"text": "\"Literature, 5/e Robert Di Yanni Glossary of Fiction Terms Allegory A symbolic narrative in which the surface details imply a secondary meaning. Allegory often takes the form of a story in which the characters represent moral qualities. The most famous example in English is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, in which the name of the central character, Pilgrim, epitomizes the book's allegorical nature. Kay Boyle's story \"\"Astronomer's Wife\"\" and Christina Rossetti's poem \"\"Up-Hill\"\" both contain allegorical elements. Alliteration The repetition of consonant sounds, especially at the beginning of words. Example: \"\"Fetched fresh, as I suppose, off some sweet wood.\"\" Hopkins, \"\"In the Valley of the Elwy. \"\" Antagonist A character or force against which another character struggles. Creon is Antigone's antagonist in Sophocles' play Antigone; Teiresias is the antagonist of Oedipus in Sophocles' Oedipus the King. Assonance The repetition of similar vowel sounds in a sentence or a line of poetry or prose, as in \"\"I rose and told him of my woe.\"\""

"text": "Fantasy: Why is the genre so popular? by Rowena Cory Daniells Posted on June 17, 2010 by Steve Rossiter Since the Peter Jackson film of the same name, it would be safe to say that most people have heard of The Lord of the Rings, most people have a grasp of the fantasy genre. While the popularity of Tolkien’s LOTR has grown since it was released in 1954-55, spawning hundreds of imitations, fantasy has always been with us. What is The Illiad but a fantasy quest story, with magic, gods and monsters? Beowulf, The Song of Roland, Nibelungenlied (Wagner’s Opera The Ring of Nibelung ), all fantasy stories. From the earliest myths and legends, through different cultures fantasy has been with us. Think of the Arabian Nights stories, the Arthurian Romances, Spenser’s The Fairie Queen, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Lord Byron’s Manfred, Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, and George Mac Donald. Whether these stories are set in our world or a secondary world where magical creatures and/or people exist, they all share a common theme: the exploration of the human condition. Even the much maligned medieval/quest fantasies offer their readers the chance to vicariously explore a wondrous world, battle evil and restore justice. Even a lowly Hobbit can change the course of the world by destroying the Ring."

Carl Spaatz, (1946–1947)The United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF or AAF ), informally known as the Air Force, [1] was the aerial warfare service of the United States of America during and immediately after World War II (1939/41–1945), successor to the previous United States Army Air Corps and the direct predecessor of the United States Air Force of today, one of the five uniformed military services. The AAF was a component of the United States Army, which in 1942 was divided functionally by executive order into three autonomous forces: the Army Ground Forces, the Services of Supply (which in 1943 became the Army Service Forces ), and the Army Air Forces. Each of these forces had a commanding general who reported directly to the Army Chief of Staff. The AAF administered all parts of military aviation formerly distributed among the Air Corps, General Headquarters Air Force, and the ground forces' corps area commanders, and thus became the first air organization of the U. S. Army to control its own installations and support personnel. The peak size of the AAF during the Second World War was over 2.4 million men and women in service and nearly 80,000 aircraft by 1944, and 783 domestic bases in December 1943. [ 2] By \"\" V-E Day \"\", the Army Air Forces had 1.25 million men stationed overseas and operated from more than 1,600 airfields worldwide. [ 3]The Army Air Forces was created in June 1941 to provide the air arm a greater autonomy in which to expand more efficiently, to provide a structure for the additional command echelons required by a vastly increased force, and to end an increasingly divisive administrative battle within the Army over control of aviation doctrine and organization that had been ongoing since the creation of an aviation section within the U. S. Army Signal Corps in 1914. The AAF succeeded both the Air Corps, which had been the statutory military aviation branch since 1926, and the GHQ Air Force, which had been activated in 1935 to quiet the demands of airmen for an independent Air Force similar to the Royal Air Force which had already been established in the United Kingdom / Great Britain. Although other nations already had separate air forces independent of their army or navy (such as the British Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe ), the AAF remained a part of the Army until a defense reorganization in the post-war period resulted in the passage by the United States Congress of the National Security Act of 1947 with the creation of an independent United States Air Force in September 1947."

On average, an F-14 requires nearly 50 maintenance hours for every flight hour, while the Super Hornet requires five to 10 maintenance hours for every flight hour. Holy crap! 50 to 1?! That ratio is completely insane!I can't imagine what general aviation would be like if we had to deal with such obscene costs. Actually, I can. General aviation simply wouldn't exist. A typical rate for an aircraft mechanic in a decent maintenance facility is $60/hour. If you flew your 4 seat $75,000 Maule or Cessna 50 hours per year, that'd be $150,000 in maintenance costs every year. At that point, you might as well just buy a new plane each time it was due for an inspection."

Most modern TSFs have an anti-laser warning system that will allow them to detect when they are being tracked by a Laser-class BETA which has begun the low-energy laser phase of its firing cycle. The short window of time that the system allows is the difference between a successful dodging maneuver by the pilot, or the TSF being shot down. This detection system is supplemented by the two physical technologies listed below. Physical anti-laser countermeasures can be grouped into two main groups: Coatings Heavy metal particulates (also known as AL warheads)Anti-Laser Coating Edit All TSFs, several types of naval warships, and certain combat vehicles are outfitted with anti-laser coating to improve their durability against laser attacks. However, even the latest of such a technology is only viable for three seconds, and any exposure longer than that will burn through the coating; a disastrous result to be avoided at all costs, considering that no armor material known to humankind can currently withstand a Laser blast for even a fraction of a second. The coating will also wear down from repeated short-term exposure to Laser blasts, resulting in damage from Laser attacks during long periods of continuous combat.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is the Pentagon's newest warplane and its most expensive weapons system ever -- nearly $400 billion to buy 2,400 aircraft.

Answered Sep 2, 2015 · Author has 2.7k answers and 12m answer views This is a good question to draw out different interpretations of what constitutes being \"\"maneuverable.\"\" To me, the key distinction lies in deciding what you want to do with your \"\"maneuverability.\"\" If I was shopping for a highly maneuverable aircraft, I'd be looking for a balance of a couple of factors that would make it hard to shoot and more likely to be able to gain an advantage when maneuvering against another aircraft. ( This might sound kind of weird from a predominantly helicopter guy, but I was a tactics officer before I ever got into the flight safety specialty, and I did some independent work on the energy maneuverability of helicopters prior to attending formal training at Nellis AFB.) The factors I'd try to balance would be:\"\"Instantaneous\"\" roll rate (not officially defined to my knowledge, but basically how many degrees of roll I'd get out of it from the moment I applied aileron until one second elapsed);Sustained roll rate (how many degrees of roll per second I could squeeze out of it over a period of time);How long it takes to transition from a sustained roll in one direction to a sustained roll in the opposite direction;How many positive Gs the aircraft can pull;How fast it can accelerate from cruise to maximum (Vne) airspeed at normal operating altitude;How quickly it can decelerate from cruise to stall speed at normal operating altitude; and How quickly it can go from the minimum airspeed at which you can maintain directional control (Vmca) back up to Vne. Even though I suspect a lot of people would tout roll rate as the prime indicator of \"\"maneuverability,\"\" the ability to roll like crazy along your longitudinal axis isn't nearly as important as the ability to change your trajectory quickly if somebody is gunning for you."

But read the tantalising evidence from this boy's family and you may start to wonder... The agonised screams pierced the air. ' Plane on fire! Airplane crash.' In the dark, a two-year-old boy was just visible, writhing on his bed in the grip of horror. ' He was lying there on his back, kicking and clawing at the covers like he was trying to kick his way out of a coffin,' remembers the boy's father. ' I thought, this looks like The Exorcist. I half expected his head to spin around like that little girl in the movie. But then I heard what James was saying. '"

S. military, but its high cost and many delays have raised questions. U. S. Navy/Lockheed Martin/Getty Images First of two parts After years on the drawing boards and in testing labs, a new fighter plane is entering the U. S. arsenal. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is supposed to help the Air Force, the Navy and the Marines replace their fleet of aging aircraft. But this plane has become the most expensive military procurement program in history. While critics continue to carp about the cost, the plane is now in the skies, and the military says it's the lynchpin for future defense strategies. On a cold fall morning at Eglin Air Force Base near Pensacola, Fla., Air Force Lt. Col. Lee Kloos watches a fellow pilot prepare an F-35 for launch."

"text": "A Brief History of Pilots and Astronauts Wrist Watches Dec 25 2013 - 8 Comments By Jacek Siminski The pilot wrist watch is an instrument which has been present in the cockpit since the very beginning of aviation. The evolution of pilot watches shows aviation has always relied on cutting edge technology, setting trends for all other fields, including watchmaking. The first ever timepiece for a pilot dates back to 1904. It was created by Cartier and named Santos, after one of the first European aviation pioneers. It was nowhere near the aviation watches that came later, because in front of being reliable and easy to read-out (these criteria for pilot watches came later), it was stylish. Image Credit: wristwatchreview.com The story is, that Santos, after he made his first flight received a German Archdeacon Aviation Prize for the stunt. The legend says that in the course of celebration Santos complained to his friend, Louis Cartier, that it was hard for him to check what time it was using his pocket watch. This was how the first pilot watch was created. It also was one of the very first wrist watches ever created. Cartier established the role of an aeronautical watch, as it served several functions."

Figure out its causes and find proper treatments!When you look at your fingernails, you may be able to make out raised lines running either vertically (aligned with your fingers) or horizontally (across your nails). Sometimes, especially when these ridges are very defined and apparent, they can cause your fingernails to look abnormal. Vertical ridges are often considered to be a simple genetic attribute to one’s fingernails and do not always require alarm or treatment. While horizontal lines should be taken more seriously as they are a direct indication of underlying medical conditions. Causes of Fingernail Ridges1. Vertical Fingernail Ridges Malnutrition. Think about your usual diet. What foods are you eating regularly? What foods are missing from your meals?"

Nail abnormalities often indicate an underlying medical condition or a deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals. Warning signs to look out for include yellow nail discoloration, nail splitting, nail cracking, black fingernails, ridges on nails, and white spots on fingernails. So even if you skip regular manicures and pedicures, pay close attention to your nails and discuss any toenail or fingernail changes or disorders with your doctor.2 / 9 Nail Splitting and Nail Cracking Split nails or cracked nails can be problematic all on their own, but they can also be fingernail disorders that signal another health problem. Nail splitting and nail cracking can be due to a thyroid condition ( hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism) or psoriasis. If you find that your nails are brittle or split or crack easily and often, talk to your doctor about health conditions that may be responsible.3 / 9 Soft or Brittle Nails Fingernails that are soft to the touch or flake apart easily are commonly caused by a lack of the protein keratin. Keratin deficiency often results from crash dieting or some other sudden dietary changes. A protein-rich diet can reverse the damage, as can taking a daily supplement of biotin, a B vitamin. Other causes of soft or brittle nails include chemicals in products used as part of a manicure or pedicure (such as acetone and methyl acrylate), and health conditions, including Crohn’s disease and anemia.4 / 9 Ingrown Nails When nails grow into the skin instead of straight, an ingrown nail occurs. This painful toenail and fingernail disorder is most often caused by an injury to the nail — someone steps on your foot or you stub your toe — or from wearing shoes that don't fit properly."

While low levels of magnesium can lead to changes in your nails, this mineral isn't the only reason for a change in nail appearance. Because nail changes and abnormalities can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, it's important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load About Magnesium Your heart, kidneys, muscles and other important body organs depend on magnesium. This essential mineral also aids in energy production, activates enzymes and helps regulate calcium and other vital nutrients in your body. To ensure you have adequate levels of magnesium in your body, eat plenty of magnesium-rich foods, including leafy green vegetables, nuts and whole grains. While the University of Maryland Medical Center notes that magnesium deficiencies are fairly rare, most people still don't get quite enough of this essential mineral through their diet. Magnesium and Nail Changes A magnesium deficiency can cause poor nail growth, in addition to more serious symptoms such as high blood pressure, anxiety, muscle spasms and vomiting. Additionally, a condition called \"\"hypoparathyroidism\"\" can cause brittle nails, as well as other symptoms such as dry, scaly skin, dry hair, cataracts and tingling fingers, toes and lips. While injury to the parathyroid glands commonly causes hypoparathyroidism, this condition can also caused by low levels of magnesium in the blood."

"text": "There are a number of potential causes for ridges on fingernails. Vertical ridges which run the length of the nail are actually quite common, especially among older people, although they can be a cause for concern, especially when paired with color changes in the nail. Horizontal ridges are often an indicator of a health problem which requires medical attention. If you have just noticed ridges in your nails, you shouldn't panic, but you may want to make time to see a doctor to discuss the change. One extremely common cause of ridges on fingernails is malnutrition or malabsorption. Many vitamin deficiencies cause ridges on fingernails, as the body's production of the materials in the nail is interrupted. Eating a healthier diet and supplementing with vitamins can help clear up the ridges; for especially strong, health nails you can eat gelatin, which will also benefit your hair. If improvements to your diet do not resolve the ridges on your fingernails, you may have a disorder which interrupts the absorption of nutrients by your body, and you should see a doctor. Another cause of ridges on fingernails is lack of moisture. If your nails are ridged or cracked, massaging the nails or cuticles with a moisturizing cream or oil can be very beneficial, as can increasing the amount of water you drink."

Sometimes marks, discoloration or pits or grooves on a fingernail, such as those that run from side to side (known as Beau's lines), can be an indication of a nail injury or a health problem. However, in the case of vertical ridges, there is normally no reason to be concerned. These ridges look and feel like raised lines, and they run from the cuticle at the base of the fingernail to the tip. These ridges are not usually a sign of injury or a health problem but are a harmless result of ageing. They often become more prominent or numerous as you get older. However, if the vertical ridges are accompanied by brittle nails, with jagged edges or splitting, you may have a condition known as onychorrhexis, which may be linked to a skin -related medical condition such as lichen planus, a type of non-infectious skin rash, or certain other health conditions such as anaemia or an underactive thyroid gland. Also, if the ridges run horizontally from side to side, they may indicate a health problem. So you should seek medical advice.

The inflammation is caused by an autoimmune response that causes the body to interpret normal cells in the skin and mucus membranes as potentially harmful invaders and attack them. The trigger of this autoimmune response is unknown. Symptoms of lichen planus differ based on which area of the body is affected. If the skin is affected, the symptoms include purplish bumps on the body, itchiness, crustiness and scabs. When lichen planus affects the nails, it can cause ridges in the nail, brittleness that results in thinning and splitting of the nail and nail loss. According to Mayo Clinic.com, lichen planus usually disappears on its own, however, it could take years."

Nail (Anatomy)A nail, in anatomy, is defined as a horn-like envelope covering the tips of the fingers and toes in humans, most non-human primates, and a few other mammals. Finger and toe nails are similar to claws in other animals. Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protective protein called keratin. Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins, and is the key structural material making up hair, horns, claws, hooves, and the outer layer of human skin. Healthcare and pre-hospital-care providers (EMTs or paramedics) often use the fingernail beds (CRT or blanch test) as a cursory indicator of distal tissue perfusion of individuals who may be dehydrated or in shock. Main Document\"\"In Caucasian people, color bands under the nail may indicate cancer, while in non-Caucasian people it is usually a normal occurrence. \"\" Healthy fingernails and toenails should generally be a pink color - with the healthy nail plate being pink, and the nail being white in color as it grows off the nail bed. Fingernail color and condition changes are rarely the first clue of serious illness. In most instances, patients will manifest other signs or symptoms of disease before nail changes become evident."

"text": "Onychauxis is a thickening of the nails. It can be observed in both the toenails and the fingernails and may present in a number of different ways. Treatment requires addressing the underlying cause of the nail thickening and adopting a special nail care routine to encourage the overgrown nail to grow out so that it can be replaced with a healthy nail. Sometimes, only one or two nails are involved, while in other cases, every nail exhibits onychauxis. The nails thicken upward but can also sprawl outward and may be yellowish to white, with crumbling edges in some patients. The thickness of the nails makes them difficult to trim safely and evenly. As a result, the nails are often allowed to grow out and they can start to curl as they get long. Some congenital conditions lead to onychauxis, along with other problems. Improperly fitted shoes are another culprit, as are conditions like diabetes and circulatory problems in the feet or hands. Injuries to the nails can also cause this condition as a reactionary response."

But others can signal health concerns, especially changes in nail color and growth patterns. Your nails are part of your skin. They are made up of layers of the protein keratin and grow from beneath the base of the nail under your cuticle. As new cells grow, older cells become hard and compacted and are eventually pushed out toward your fingertips."

Nails are composed of protein, keratin and sulfur. Nail changes or abnormalities are often the result of nutritional deficiencies or specific conditions. Deficiencies produce the following changes in the nails: Lack of vitamin A and calcium causes dryness and brittleness. A vitamin B deficiency causes fragility, with horizontal and vertical ridges. Insufficient intake of vitamin B12 leads to excessive dryness, very rounded and curved nail ends and darkened nails."

"text": "Kheper Home | Buddhism Home | Mahayana Buddhism | Vajrayana Buddhism | Tantra Home | Topics Index | New or Updated | Search Mudras of the Great Buddha: Symbolic Gestures and Postures Mudras are a non-verbal mode of communication and self-expression, consisting of hand gestures and finger-postures. They are symbolic sign based finger patterns taking the place, but retaining the efficacy of the spoken word, and are used to evoke in the mind ideas symbolizing divine powers or the deities themselves. The composition of a mudra is based on certain movements of the fingers; in other words, they constitute a highly stylized form of gestureal communication. It is an external expression of 'inner resolve', suggesting that such non-verbal communications are more powerful than the spoken word. Many such hand positions were used in the Buddhist sculpture and painting of India, Tibet, China, Korea and Japan. They indicate to the faithful in a simple way the nature and the function of the deities represented. Mudras are thus gestures which symbolize divine manifestation. They are also used by monks in their spiritual exercises of ritual meditation and concentration, and are believed to generate forces that invoke the deity. But a mudra is used not only to illustrate and emphasize the meaning of an esoteric ritual. It also gives significance to a sculptural image, a dance movement, or a meditative pose, intensifying their potency."

"text": "Horned Hand - The Satanic Sign Save This Page More Articlesby Subhabrata Das Introduction Human civilization, since prehistoric ages, has evolved as a society with a great inclination toward occultism or esoteric knowledge of the world of spirits or supernatural forces. People who mastered the occult or the “hidden belief” inscribed the medium of communication among the inhabitants of esoteric world in the form of some unique symbols with hidden meanings. These are the perceptible signs of invisible power of natural forces or satanic influences which are mainly used by the occultists to manipulate the natural laws to satisfy their own benefits. Among these symbols Horned Hand, which is quite similar to the Karana Mudra of Eastern religions, is depicted as a form of raised index and pinky fingers describing the devilish sign of a beast. Image 1: Horned Hand Photo by Subhabrata Das Origin and Interpretation Horned Hand is believed to be the depiction of the woolly Goat of Mendes or Baphomet, or the Horns of Cernunnos which has long been portrayed as a synonym of Satan or a demon. Raised index and pinky fingers symbolize the horns and tightly closed middle fingers and thumb represent the mouth of the goat. Image 2: Goat of Mendes Copyright free image from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki In Italian the Horned Hand is named as “Mano Cornuto.” This hand sign is often inscribed on charms to protect the user from evil eyes. As per contemporary Italian tradition if this hand gesture is pointed toward any man it suggests that the man is a cornuto or a cuckold. It is believed that the association of Horned Hand with the sign of infidelity has been originated from Minotaur, the legendary monster from Greek mythology who was the progeny of Crete queen Pasiphae’s adulterous relationship with a white bull."

When practicing pranayama the breath should be skillfully inhaled, exhaled and retained. It teaches you to change the depth, rate and pattern of breathing. Pranayama is a Sanskrit word which literally translates into “extension of the prana or breath”. ‘ Prana’ means life-force and it is the life-force or vital energy that pervades the body. Prana is the link between mind and consciousness. The physical manifestation of “prana’ is breath and ”ayama” means to extent or draw out the breath. When the Breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still.” – Hatha Yoga Pradipika Breathing is vital for our survival as it is the only way we can send oxygen inside our body and into our organs."

"text": "Editor's note: The below recommendations are intended to be general recommendations for yoga practitioners and teachers. They are not a replacement for the personal advice of a health professional. We yogis tend to value stretching our muscles. But what about stretching and mobilizing our nerves, which are, after all, the communication lines between our muscles and our brains? Restricted nerve mobility can lead to pain and interfere with yoga practice, as yogis with carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, and sciatica know. According to Bill Reif, a physical therapist based in Atlanta with 40 years’ experience and the author of The Back Pain Secret: The Real Cause of Women’s Back Pain and How to Treat It, yogis can keep their nerves healthy and alleviate minor nerve problems by incorporating “neural glides”—or nerve stretches—into our yoga practices. How Nerves Get “Tight”The same daily activities that can shorten and tighten muscles—sitting, working at a computer with the shoulders rounded forward—can also inhibit the mobility of peripheral nerves (the nerves that run down the arms and legs), which run through and in between muscles on their course from the spine to the extremities. Reif paints the picture: “If you sit at a computer all day long, the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves of both arms and legs are in a shortened position. Your elbows are flexed, shortening the biceps muscles and the nerves of the arms. Your knees are bent and your hamstrings and some of the nerves of your legs, such as the sciatic nerve, shorten."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Hand gesture)navigation search People often use gestures during heated or tense arguments, such as at this politicaldemonstration. Gestures are a form of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel with spoken words. [ 1] Gestures include movement of the hands, face, or other parts of the body. Physical non-verbal communication such as purely expressive displays, proxemics, or displays of joint attention differ from gestures, which communicate specific messages. [ 1] Gestures are culture-specific and can convey very different meanings in different social or cultural settings. [ 2] Gesture is distinct from sign language. Although some gestures, such as the ubiquitous act of pointing, differ little from one place to another, most gestures do not have invariable or universal meanings but connote specific meanings in particular cultures. A single emblematic gesture can have very different significance in different cultural contexts, ranging from complimentary to highly offensive. [ 3]This list includes links to pages that discuss particular gestures, as well as short descriptions of some gestures that do not have their own page. Not included are the specialized gestures, calls, and signals used by referees and umpires in organized sports."

They are subtle physical gestures representing spiritual concepts. In the yogic tradition, they act as a barrier to redirect prana and prevent it from escaping, thus inducing deeper states of awareness and concentration. They have been in use in the East for thousands of years, particularly in Buddhism. Buddha statues often have the hands in certain hand positions. There are hundreds of different mudras used for specific healing purposes and meditation. The most well know mudras are probably the ones performed during prayers and meditations. The Christian crossing of the fingers for prayer is a mudra, and so is the “Namaste” Indian greeting gesture (that is also used while praying), where the hands are held in front of the chest, the palms touching. Those symbolic hand gestures are also used in reiki, tai chi, aikido, religious or spiritual rituals, Indian classical dance and oriental dances. They have been used as a spiritual practice (and still are), as a way on the path to enlightenment and wellbeing."

They have slender bodies, long tails, and front and hind legs that are nearly equal in size. Some salamanders have tails that break off. When a predator grabs it by the tail, the tail just snaps off and continues to wiggle. This gives the predator a tasty morsel to distract him while the salamander runs away and grows a new tail. Salamanders are not lizards, as people often think they are. Lizards are reptiles, not amphibians. Lizards also have scaly skin, claws, and external ear openings.

Salamanders are typically characterized by their slender body, short nose, long tail, and -- most important of all -- their unique ability of regrowing lost limbs and tail. It might come as a surprise for some of you, but salamanders have been thriving on the planet for more than 100 million years now. They have become popular as pets, mainly because of their docile nature and colorful appearance, and this, in turn, has made people curious about their behavior in both, wild and captivity. Approximately 550 species of salamanders are found on the planet; some of these are aquatic in nature and seldom come on land, while some are totally terrestrial in nature and seldom enter water. Some of these species breathe through lungs, some through their skin, and there are some which breathe through their mouth. Most popular species of salamander include the Pacific giant salamander, spotted salamander, hell-bender, and the tiger salamander. Salamanders - What Do They Eat?"

Among the papers presented was one titled \"\"The Effects of Stream Crossing Culverts on the Movements of Coastal Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus). \"\" Essentially, the researchers were interested in the role of culverts in the distribution and genetics of the Coastal Giant Salamanders living in the Coast Range. The results indicate that culvert design will greatly influence the genetic diversity, safety and distribution of salamanders. This, in turn, has led to the redesign of forest road culverts by U. S. Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) engineers to ensure the welfare of the salamanders. Never underestimate the political power of the lowly salamander... Pretty neat work, and very helpful to the well-being of amphibians in general, which are facing serious problems from climate change (which, in spite of all the political balderdash, is for real) excessive radiation, loss of habitat, and predation from non-native fish. ( That last one is also a real threat to a lot more than salamanders...)We have only one species of native salamander roaming around Central Oregon that we have to worry about, the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum krausei. In addition, however, we do have rough-skinned newts, a close relative of salamanders that can be found in most of the high-country lakes. But salamanders and newts are like apples and oranges: they're both amphibians, but that's about all they have in common. For example, the venom under a newt's skin can knock you dead."

Forest Habitats Here are examples of where some of Maine’s forest dwellers can be found: Moose, Maine’s state animal, need dense, soggy wooded areas with swamps or lakes. Preferred habitat is mature balsam fir and white birch, regenerating stands and young aspen. Moose spend summers near water foraging on aquatic plants and winters browsing in mixed hardwood-conifer forests.

"text": "A salamander is an amphibian in the order Caudata which has a lizardlike appearance, although salamanders lack the scales of true lizards. This order encompasses hundreds of individual salamander species and several large groupings, including sirens, salamanders without rear legs, and newts, a large group of salamanders found throughout the Northern hemisphere. These primordial creatures are believed to be among the oldest of living vertebrates found on land, and they provide interesting clues into the development of life on Earth. The common name “salamander” is derived from an Ancient Greek word, salamandra, which appears to be of Eastern origin. The word was absorbed into Latin and later Old French, and used to refer to a mythical creature which could walk through fire. The link between these shy amphibians and this mythical creature is unclear; needless to say, fire is as damaging to salamanders as it is to most other living organisms. Like other amphibians, salamanders prefer damp, moist places such as marshes, swamps, and waterways. They are especially abundant in North America, where they can be found in and around ponds, streams, and lakes. Some species also live arboreal lifestyles, favoring the environment of trees for their adult habitats. Salamanders range widely in size and coloration, but all of them have smooth, porous skins which may feel damp to the touch, along with long tails."

Santa Cruz also feeds on fungi apart from meat. Salamanders usually take on animals that can be easily caught. At times the prey is too small to be seen with a naked eye. Salamanders eat invertebrates that live around them such as leaf litter and forest debris. Salamanders employ a fairly simple technique to hunt prey in that they crawl over the forest debris and eat every invertebrate come in their way. What Do Salamanders Eat Salamanders are opportunistic feeders as they seldom rely on specific food. They will grab anything that comes in their way provided the size is small. Japanese Giant Salamander (Andrias japonicus) predominantly feeds on small mammals, aquatic insects, crabs, fish, and amphibians. Small species such as Dusky salamanders are very fond of eating flies, beetle larvae, springtails, earthworms, grasshoppers, mites, leafhoppers, and spiders."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature10 Fascinating Facts About Fireflies and Lightning Bugs Interesting Behaviors and Traits of Lampyridae Share Flipboard Email Printtomosang / Getty Imagesby Debbie Hadley Updated April 09, 2018Fireflies or lightning bugs are from the family Coleoptera: Lampyridae, and they may well be our most beloved insect, inspiring poets and scientists alike. We know surprisingly little about them, but what we do know about fireflies is fascinating. Here are 10 cool facts about fireflies. Fireflies (aka Lightning Bugs) Are Neither Flies nor Bugs Fireflies are actually beetles. Like all other beetles, they have hardened forewings called elytra, which meet in a straight line down the back when at rest. In flight, fireflies hold the elytra out for balance, and rely on their membranous hindwings for movement. These traits place fireflies squarely in the order Coleoptera. Fireflies Are the World's Most Efficient Light Producers An incandescent lightbulb gives off 90 percent of its energy as heat and only 10 percent as light, which is something you know if you've ever touched one that's been turned on for a while. If fireflies produced that much heat when they lit up, they would incinerate themselves. Fireflies produce light through an efficient chemical reaction called chemiluminescence that allows them to glow without wasting heat energy."

Some live in more arid areas, but they typically follow the rainy season. Fireflies are found all over the world, from North and South America to Europe and Asia. Most firefly species have one thing in common: standing water. They live near ponds, streams, marshes, rivers and lakes, but they don't need a lot of water to get by. Vernal pools and small depressions that hold water during firefly mating season can all provide the habitat fireflies need. Most firefly species live at the margins where forest or field meet water. Scientists aren't completely sure what most species of fireflies eat. It's probable that firefly larvae feed on different prey from that of adult fireflies."

Like most post-apocalypse tales, one of the central implicit questions the game asks is “Who is worse? The humans or the infected?”Caution: Spoilers Ahead Martial Law and its shortcomings The Fireflies and the Hunters have emerged in response to the martial law that begot the quarantine zones. The military is a common institution that takes over the last pockets of mankind in post-apocalypse fiction, begging the question what measures must be taken by the military in order to preserve the human species. Quarantine zones besides Boston where Joel initially lives have fallen from either internal or external developments due to more soft measures, so the Boston military has decided to declare harsher edicts such as a mandatory curfew, supervised passage of refugees into and out of the zone, liquidation of any infected individuals within the zone, and severe reprisals against any kind of opposition against the military regime. The Fireflies are quick to highlight the shortcomings of the military and believe they are the right faction to reinvigorate mankind, and so have taken arms against the military and will stop at nothing to find the cure: the key, they believe, will resurrect mankind. The Hunters of Pittsburgh spawn from the military’s inability to provide enough food for the quarantine zone refugees, either because the military cannot find enough food or they too have grown corrupt and hold more rations for themselves. The Hunters have risen against the military, whom they consider inept to protect and feed them, in order to take control of doling out the rations and assuring there is enough food and weapons for the former zone’s jurisdiction.loss and its scars One of the biggest running themes of the game would have to be the vulnerability of humans and how the unmerciful post-apocalypse atmosphere morphs them and removes their ability to sympathize. Joel is perhaps the epitome of the consequences of vulnerability in this CBI-afflicted atmosphere, as the loss of his only daughter Sarah serves as the watershed moment where he begins to shut off his heart to others. He does all that he can to prevent further losses in his life, including a moment where he wants to protect Tess from the military knowing she will turn infected eventually."

"text": "\"Photo via Fiona M. Donnelly in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Fireflies are sometimes called lightning bugs. Many a child has spent a summer evening chasing them. And maybe you’ve wondered – how and why are these insects able to light up? The answer is that the light of a firefly is a chemical reaction, caused by an organic compound in their abdomens. Image via Matt Pollock in upstate New York. The compound is called luciferin. As air rushes into a firefly’s abdomen, it reacts with the luciferin, and a chemical reaction gives off the firefly’s familiar glow. This light is sometimes called “cold light” because it generates so little heat. The firefly can regulate the airflow into the abdomen to create a pulsating pattern."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology Where do lightening bugs go in the winter? My 3 year old asked me that last night and I told her I didn't know. Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Like many other insects, fireflies reach adulthood by metamorphosis. The adults lay eggs on or under the ground in the spring, and the larvae hatch within 2-4 weeks. The larvae feed on snails, slugs, and cutworms by injecting digestive enzymes into the prey and slurping it up once it liquefies. The larvae continue to feed until fall, when they burrow underground for the winter. They emerge the following spring, eat until summer, pupate for roughly two weeks, and then emerge as adults. Depending on the species, the larvae may overwinter for two or three seasons before metamorphosing into adults. The adult diet varies depending on the species. It may have the predatory habits of the larvae; but some species feed only on pollen and nectar."

"text": "\"WHY DO LIGHTNING BUGS FLASH? The main reason Lightning Bugs flash is to attract mates. Among most but not all species of North American Lightning Bugs, males fly about flashing while females perch on vegetation, usually near the ground. If the female sees a flasher and she's ready to mate she responds by flashing right after the male's last flash. A short flash dialogue takes place as the male flies closer and closer, and then, if all goes well, they mate. Careful... It's spelled lightning, not light e ning... So that a flasher doesn't attract a firefly of a different species, each Lightning Bug species has its own special flash pattern. Flash patterns range from continuous glows or single flashes, to series of multi-pulsed flashes. Adult firefly. Light emanates from the rear end, or abdomen, showing up as bright yellow in the picture © Greg Scott Among some species both males and females flash, but among others only the members of one sex do it.

The film, produced by Herman Mankiewicz, was prepared during the crisis period of the Depression. Some of its clever gags and routines were taken from Groucho's and Chico's early 1930s radio show Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel. Working titles for the film included Oo La La, Firecrackers, Grasshoppers, and Cracked Ice. It was the Marx Brothers' fifth film in a five-picture contract with Paramount Studios, before they went on to MGM. It was their last and best film with the studio. The film was directed by first-class veteran director Leo Mc Carey (who would go on to direct The Awful Truth (1937), Love Affair (1939), Going My Way (1944), and An Affair to Remember (1957) - a remake of his 1939 film), and its screenplay was written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby (with additional dialogue by Arthur Sheekman and Nat Perrin). Originally, it was to have been directed by Ernst Lubitsch. The film was devoid of any Academy Award nominations. The outrageous film was both a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release - audiences were taken aback by such preposterous political disrespect, buffoonery and cynicism at a time of political and economic crisis, with Roosevelt's struggle against Depression in the US amidst the rising power of Hitler in Germany.

"text": "\"Plate from Henry Walter Bates (1862) illustrating Batesian mimicry between Dismorphia species (top row, third row) and various Ithomiini ( Nymphalidae, second row, bottom row)In evolutionary biology, mimicry is a similarity of one organism, usually an animal, to another that has evolved because the resemblance is selectively favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver that can respond to both. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species. Often, mimicry evolves to protect a species from predators, making it an antipredator adaptation. The resemblances that evolve in mimicry can be in appearance, behaviour, sound or scent. Mimicry may be to the advantage of both organisms that share a resemblance, in which case it is a mutualism, or mimicry can be to the detriment of one, making it parasitic or competitive. Mimicry occurs when a group of organisms, the mimics, evolve to share perceived characteristics with another group, the models. The evolutionary convergence between groups is driven by the selective action of a signal-receiver or dupe. [ 38] Birds, for example, use sight to identify palatable insects, whilst avoiding the noxious ones. Over time, palatable insects may evolve to resemble noxious ones, making them mimics and the noxious ones models. In the case of mutualism, sometimes both groups are referred to as \"\"co-mimics\"\"."

Showy tropical tree or shrub native to Madagascar; widely planted in tropical regions for its immense racemes of scarlet and orange flowers; sometimes placed in genus Poinciana We often use this word as an adjective (the first meaning) but in case you are using it in scientific (biological) terms then refer to the second meaning.

"text": "\"Overview Facilities Features Location Blarney , Co Cork (5 miles/8km from Cork City)History In order to taste the best Ireland vacations, a visit to Blarney Castle and kissing the Blarney Stone is a must on most people's list of things to do in Ireland. For many years people have descended on the picturesque, 15th Century Blarney Castle with the purpose of kissing the Blarney Stone to be bestowed with the \"\"gift of the gab\"\", the talent for eloquence that the Irish famously possess. The Blarney Stone is situated at the very top turret of the castle and to kiss it you have to lie on your back and reach under the battlements to kiss the stone as the wind whistles around your ears, and someone takes a firm hold of your legs! But it's all perfectly safe and you'll go away with something new to talk about, with a touch of Blarney. Though kissing the stone is a relatively new ritual and one that has proved hugely marketable, the association with smooth talking and Blarney goes back many centuries. When Queen Elizabeth I of England sought to impose her rule on Ireland's Gaelic Chiefs, The Lord of Blarney, Cormac Mac Carthy, proving most elusive, would reply to her demands with flamboyant flattery rather than submission. The Queen was to reply, \"\"this is all Blarney, he never means what he says and never does what he promises.\"\" And so the word Blarney came into the English language, eloquent words that flatter or deceive. The history of the castle goes much further, it was built around 1446 for the Mac Carthy Chieftains of Munster, though its believed a settlement was established here as early as the 10th Century. The Mac Carthys held sway over Blarney and Munster throughout the many tumultuous centuries of Anglo-Irish conflict until the defeat of the old Irish nobles at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, after which the Lord of Blarney was exiled."

The class contains two sub classes, Coleoidea in which species have either no shell or an internal shell; this class includes octopus, squid and cuttlefish. The second class is Nautiloidea where the shell is still in place; Nautilus are grouped here. Cuttlefish appeared on earth approximately 500 million years ago and today live in all oceans of the world at all depths. There are approximately 800 living species of Cephalopod and surprisingly little is known about the majority of this species. Most do not inhabit coral reefs, but live in the deep sea and it would seem none live in fresh water. Cuttlefish are extremely intelligent and have superb eyesight courtesy of big, highly developed eyes similar to humans, but with w-shaped pupils. If you can win the trust of a cephalopod you can have hours of fun playing and stroking them, but you must be patient and kind. Cryptic behavior is their main defense as few are poisonous. Their soft bodies are unprotected by armor, possessing no tough scales or defensive spines."

"text": "\"The Hidden Meaning in a Dog's Wagging Tail By Ross Pomeroy April 02, 2015Little known fact: When a dog is alone, it will hardly wag its tail. Indeed, it may not even wag its tail at all. The appendage isn't some autonomous, unifunctional machine that never quits; it's actually a complex communication device. So, when there aren't any other living things around, there's little point in wagging it. \"\" In some ways, tail wagging serves the same communication functions as a human smile, a polite greeting or a nod of recognition,\"\" writes Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and an expert in dog intelligence. \"\" Smiles are social signals and are thus reserved mostly for situations where somebody is around to see them. For dogs, the wag seems to have the same properties. \"\" Tailing wagging in general is commonly thought to indicate that a dog is happy. It certainly can imply contentment, but anxiety, insecurity, excitement, curiosity, and submissiveness are other emotions also in a tail's repertoire of expression. Lucky for humans -- though -- happiness is easy to pinpoint. \"\""

They are known for being very calm and for their pinkish wings and thin, long, twig-like legs. Their feet are webbed and their plumage is waterproof, similar to geese. The word “flamingo” comes from the Spanish and Latin word “flamenco” which means fire and refers to the bright color of the birds plumage. Flamingos are one of the most striking birds in the world ranging in colors from light cotton candy pink to orange to crimson red; many also have colors of cream and white mixed in. The males and females all look alike, however the males are usually slightly larger and stand up to five feet tall. Their pink, or reddish, color comes from beta carotene and the small brine shrimp, crustaceans and algae that they eat. They also enjoy aquatic insects, which are caught by finger-like projections in their beaks called “lamellae”, seeds, blue and green algae and mollusks. There are six remaining species of flamingos left in the world: the Andean, Caribbean, Chilean, James, Greater and Lesser Flamingos live throughout South America, the Caribbean and Africa. The Greater flamingo is the largest species and can measure up to five feet tall and weighing up to eight pounds."

"text": "Daffodils and Tulips in Containers Christine Skelmersdale gives some advice on choosing varieties for decorative containers Pots must be the simplest yet most rewarding method of growing any bulb, but especially daffodils and tulips. It needs no special skills and is virtually fool proof: just a matter of put them in and stand back. It is rather like the bold council spring bedding displays that fill every roundabout, but on a small scale. No garden is too small to squeeze in a couple of containers of bulbs and many will even make themselves at home in that tiniest of gardens, the window box. Pots can be used singly or in pairs to mark focal points in the garden, to frame a door or gateway, to draw the eye along a path or just clustered joyously on a patio. Daffodils and tulips start flowering early in the spring and continue through to early May so a succession of pots can be used or one large pot can be planted with a succession of bulbs. These containers really do shout spring is sprung!Daffodils Daffodil varieties for pots need to be chosen with care. Many have a single large flower sitting on the top of a relatively tall stem with attendant luxuriant foliage so the actual flower power can be rather limited. They are also very sensitive to water, or more particularly, lack of it, quickly and irrevocably flopping if allowed to dry out. There is nothing more dispiriting than a collapsed pot of narcissus, even more so if it is a window box in full public view."

These are connected to a duct that is specialized for collecting the waste. These 2 ducts are connected to a bladder which takes the waste and excretes it from the body. This done through small pores on the end of the worm. This is Metanephridia Tapeworms The excretions leave through the mouth, since it has no anus. It has a hollow cell where all the food goes. When it is in the hollow cell, the hollow cell takes the food and propels it into little tubes, which are lined with flame cells. These flame cells contain small cilia, these cilia pushes the waste from the flame cells to tubules that excrete the waste from the proglottids. This is called Protonephridia Planarians Planarians have 2 strands of excratory tubes that branch out to the outside of the body. This excretory system is called protonephridium, which means closed tubes without internal openings."

"text": "Scientists recently uncovered a surprising and disturbing fact: Environmental toxins make you fat and can cause diabetes. ( 1) Inside the body, these chemicals monkey with our ability to balance blood sugar and metabolize cholesterol. Over time, the changes can lead to insulin resistance. This discovery should be headline news, but no one is talking about it. Why? Because there are no drugs to treat it. In the quest to conquer the two biggest epidemics of our time — diabetes and obesity — we’ve got to turn our attention to the heavy burden environmental toxins put on our bodies. Until conventional medicine catches up, you’ve got to optimize your body’s ability to rid itself of toxins. If your body’s detoxification tools aren’t up to snuff, waste will build up. Over time, the damage is similar to what happens when trash collectors go on strike and don’t pick up the garbage off the streets."

"text": "Nephridium, unit of the excretory system in many primitive invertebrates and also in the amphioxus; it expels wastes from the body cavity to the (usually aquatic) exterior. The evolution of nephridia encouraged tissue specialization by eliminating the need for all cells of an organism to be in contact with seawater for diffusion of metabolic wastes. Nephridia occur in two forms. The simpler, more primitive protonephridia, found in flatworms, ribbon worms, and rotifers, are usually scattered among the other body cells. More advanced, segmented invertebrates, such as earthworms, possess the more complex metanephridia, usually arranged in pairs. The protonephridium consists of a hollow cell located in the body cavity and a duct leading from it to an exterior opening, called a nephridiopore. Fluid in the body cavity filters into the hollow cell, called a flame bulb (or flame cell) if it possesses cilia, or a solenocyte if it has a flagellum. In either form, the cilia or the flagellum wave filtered urine down the tube to the outside. The metanephridium tubule lacks a flame cell and opens directly into the body cavity. Cilia lining the tubule draw up cavity fluids and conduct them to the exterior; tubule cells actively reabsorb useful nutrients as they pass."

The broad classification of Animalia based on common fundamental features: Levels of Organisation Though all members of Animalia are multicellular, all of them do not exhibit the same pattern of organisation of cells. For example, in sponges, the cells are arranged as loose cell aggregates, i.e., they exhibit cellular level of organisation. Some division of labour (activities) occur among the cells. In coelenterates, the arrangement of cells is more complex. Here the cells performing the same function are arranged into tissues, hence is called tissue level of organisation. A still higher level of organisation, i.e., organ level [ organ level of organisation] is exhibited by members of Platyhelminthes and other higher phyla where tissues are grouped together to form organs, each specialised for a particular function. In animals like Annelids, Arthropods, Molluscs, Echinoderms and Chordates, organs have associated to form functional systems, each system concerned with a specific physiological function. This pattern is called organ system level of organisation."

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)."

Unlike other bilaterians, they are acoelomates (having no body cavity ), and have no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs, which restricts them to having flattened shapes that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion. The digestive cavity has only one opening for both ingestion (intake of nutrients) and egestion (removal of undigested wastes); as a result, the food cannot be processed continuously. In traditional medicinal texts, Platyhelminthes are divided into Turbellaria, which are mostly non- parasitic animals such as planarians, and three entirely parasitic groups: Cestoda, Trematoda and Monogenea; however, since the turbellarians have since been proven not to be monophyletic, this classification is now deprecated. Free-living flatworms are mostly predators, and live in water or in shaded, humid terrestrial environments, such as leaf litter. Cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flukes) have complex life-cycles, with mature stages that live as parasites in the digestive systems of fish or land vertebrates, and intermediate stages that infest secondary hosts. The eggs of trematodes are excreted from their main hosts, whereas adult cestodes generate vast numbers of hermaphroditic, segment-like proglottids that detach when mature, are excreted, and then release eggs. Unlike the other parasitic groups, the monogeneans are external parasites infesting aquatic animals, and their larvae metamorphose into the adult form after attaching to a suitable host. Because they do not have internal body cavities, Platyhelminthes were regarded as a primitive stage in the evolution of bilaterians (animals with bilateral symmetry and hence with distinct front and rear ends). However, analyses since the mid-1980s have separated out one subgroup, the Acoelomorpha, as basal bilaterians—closer to the original bilaterians than to any other modern groups."

Involves the classic baroreceptor reflex It rapidly modulates BP during activity and postural changes. Major regulated parameter is the resistance of the vascular tree. Sympathetic output changes vascular resistance. What in the brain stem controls blood pressure? Blood pressure is regulated around a set point controlled by the brain stem nuclei called the vasomotor center. Based on signals from the BP sensors, the brain stem then sends signals to the heart and blood vessels via the autonomic nervous system. The resulting sympathetic signals maintain BP nearly constant in the short-term through relatively fast vascular and cardiac responses."

Such animals are called ammonotetic. Occurrence Back to Top It is found in aquatic animal groups like sponges, coelentrates, crustaceans, echinoderms, bony fish, tadpole larvae and salamander. Ammonia is produced as a result of catabolism of proteins, especially in the liver cells by oxidative deamination of excess of amino acids in the presence of oxidase enzyme. Ammonia is highly toxic and must be metabolised or expelled from the body as soon as possible. Ammonia is highly soluble in water and a very large volume of water is needed by the animal to dissolve ammonia."

"text": "Car Craft Engine Nitrous Tuning For The Street ‘n’ Strip Written by Jeff Smith on May 12, 2014View All 11 Photos Nitrous is the great equalizer. Used properly, it can transform a mediocre street runner into a giant killer. It’s not unusual to see what appears to be a simple 200hp plate to actually be pushing closer to 500 hp. Then there are the fogger systems that can make even more. Induction Solutions ( Induction Solutions.com) posted a short video on its home page showing an 18-degree SBC intake manifold “levitating” off the bench with a 600hp shot shooting out of the fogger nozzles. With these big horsepower numbers also comes major tuning responsibility: you’d best have your all ducks beak-to-tail if you’re going to play with nitrous. More importantly, the basics of nitrous tuning remain the same for all systems, no matter how much or how little nitrous you push through an engine. Not surprisingly, it’s many of these same basics that are often overlooked or ignored in the rush to go fast. If you’re lucky, the cost of this ignorance is merely unrealized horsepower. But this same inattention can just as easily escalate into more costly mistakes."

"text": "Fire Ratings for Construction Materials Wildfire March 13, 2013Article Written by: Stephen L. Quarles, Senior Scientist, Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, Richburg, SCIntroduction If you live in the wildland urban interface (WUI) you have probably heard or read about terms which describe materials that are recommended for use on your home to improve its chances of surviving a wildfire. These materials are described using terms like noncombustible, non-flammable, ignition resistant, Class A rated and fire-resistant – terms that describe the relative combustibility of materials. Sometimes these terms refer to a material (e.g., when you replace your siding, select a fire-resistant material) and sometimes they refer to a type of construction (e.g., your home should incorporate ignition- resistant construction, or you should use ignition- resistant building techniques). Do you lump noncombustible, non-flammable, ignition resistant, and fire-resistant into the same “good” category or is one better than another? Should all combustible materials be lumped into a “bad” category, or is there a way to evaluate differences in anticipated performance between two combustible materials? The objective of this article is to describe how building codes and associated standards have defined and used these terms, and to provide ways to evaluate differences between combustible materials. Definitions Building codes and test standards have provided definitions for some terms commonly used to describe how a given material or assembly will perform in a fire. Terms that have been defined include: Combustible Noncombustible Fire-resistant or Fire-resistance Ignition-resistant Combustible and noncombustible refer to the performance of a material (e.g., wood, stucco, steel). Fire-resistant can refer to a material or an assembly (e.g., all the component s in a wall – siding, insulation, and sheathing products). An example of a roof assembly is given in Figure 1."

The mixture of gasses when ignited provides a flame of extremely high, but controlled intensity and temperature. The structure comprises a housing and a hydrogen gas inlet directed to a combustion chamber positioned within the housing. Ambient air intake ports are provided for adding ambient air to the combustion chamber for ignition of the hydrogen gas by an ignitor therein. At the other end of the housing there is positioned adjacent to the outlet of the burner (flame) a barrier/heating element. The heating element uniformly disperses the flame and in turn absorbs the heat. The opposite side to the flame, the heating element uniformly disperses the extremely hot air. A non-combustible gas trap adjacent to the heating element captures a small portion of the non-combustible gas (burned air). A return line from the trap returns the captured non-combustible gas in a controlled ratio to the burning chamber for mixture with the hydrogen gas and the ambient air."

The buildings are being constructed using a systems build with a steel frame and various prefabricated components. The blue plastic on the central building is the vapour barrier for the thermal wall insulation before the exterior cladding has been fixed. Building insulation materials are the building materials which form the thermal envelope of a building or otherwise reduce heat transfer. Insulation may be categorized by its composition (natural or synthetic materials), form (batts, blankets, loose-fill, spray foam, and panels), structural contribution ( insulating concrete forms, structured panels, and straw bales), functional mode (conductive, radiative, convective), resistance to heat transfer, environmental impacts, and more. Sometimes a thermally reflective surface called a radiant barrier is added to a material to reduce the transfer of heat through radiation as well as conduction. The choice of which material or combination of materials is used depends on a wide variety of factors. Some insulation materials have health risks, some so significant the materials are no longer allowed to be used but remain in use in some older buildings such as asbestos fibers and urea.

"text": "\"The Flame Retardant Nomex/cotton and Nylon/Cotton Blend Fabrics for Protective Clothing Charles Q. Yang 1 and Hui Yang [1] Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors,The University of Georgia, U. S. A.1. Introduction Due to its excellent fire-resistant property, Nomex has commonly been used to produce protective clothing [ 1, 2 ]. However, the high cost and low comfortability of Nomex have limited its wider uses. Blending Nomex with cotton not only reduces the cost but also improves comfortability of the fabrics. Because cotton is a highly flammable fiber, the Nomex/cotton blend fabric containing more than 20% cotton is not self-extinguishable [ 3 - 4 ]. Therefore, a durable flame-retardant finishing treatment becomes necessary to make the Nomex/cotton blend flame-resistant if it contains more than 20% cotton fiber. Previously we developed a flame retardant finishing system for cotton based on a hydroxy-functional organophosphorus oligomer (HFPO) shown in Figure 1. Because HFPO does not have a reactive functional group for cotton, it is necessary to use a bonding agent, such as dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU), trimethylolmelamine (TMM), or 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), to make the flame retardant resistant to hydrolysis [ 5 - 12 ]. In this research, we developed a nonformaldehyde flame retardant finishing system for the Nomex/cotton using BTCA to bond HFPO to cotton by esterifying both HFPO and cotton. Figure 1."

The fire triangles or combustion triangles or ″fire diamond″ are simple models for understanding the necessary ingredients for most fires. [ 1]The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen ). A fire naturally occurs when the elements are present and combined in the right mixture, [2] meaning that fire is actually an event rather than a thing. A fire can be prevented or extinguished by removing any one of the elements in the fire triangle. For example, covering a fire with a fire blanket removes the oxygen part of the triangle and can extinguish a fire. In large fires where firefighters are called in, decreasing the amount of oxygen is not usually an option because there is no effective way to make that happen in an extended area. ["

For chemicals used to fight structure fires and wildfires, see fire retardant. The term flame retardants subsumes a diverse group of chemicals which are added to manufactured materials, such as plastics and textiles, and surface finishes and coatings. Flame retardants are activated by the presence of an ignition source and are intended to prevent or slow the further development of ignition by a variety of different physical and chemical methods. They may be added as a copolymer during the polymerisation of a polymer, mixed with polymer at an moulding or extrusion process or, in particular for textiles, applied as a topical finish.

Chlorendic acid is slightly soluble in water and nonpolar organic solvents (e.g. benzene, hexane, carbon tetrachloride ). It is easily soluble in slightly polar organic solvents ( ethanol, methanol, acetone ). When heated, it loses water at 200 °C, forming an anhydride with melting point of 230–235 °C."

Flamingos facts about their feeding What do flamingos eat is a difficult question to deal with since these birds possess unique style of feeding mainly due to their unusual physical structure. Like any other bird, flamingos also need some healthy nutrients that should foster their strength as well as ability to flee when fish-eagle shows aggression. Majority of the people are ignorant about flamingos diet and instead provide them substandard or wrong food thereby making it hard for the flamingos to survive. However, let’s have a look at what do flamingos eat generally and how do they ingest their food with an elongated narrow part. I’ve compiled few of the most important foodstuffs that the flamingos love to eat. What Do Flamingos Eat? The primary healthy food of flamingos includes tiny young bugs and larval, algae of green and shades, crustaceans along with a whole heap of little fish. You may wonder about the healthy-looking shade of these birds. The flushed hue of flamingos mainly derives from the food intake that is rich in alpha-beta carotenoid tinctures, which is readily present in algae."

"text": "\"Flamingos are flamboyantly colored birds, displaying startling shades of pink, red, or orange. With their bright feathers and strongly hooked bills, flamingos are among the most easily recognized water birds. Flamingos are social birds, and tens of thousands can live together in a single colony. Flamingos are one of the oldest species of birds, with fossil remains dating back 30 to 50 million years. They live in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes, either far inland or in large lakes or lagoons, such as tidal flats or mangrove swamps close to the sea. Flamingos are generally non-migratory birds, but a colony may relocate under the pressures of climate or water level changes. Populations that breed in high-altitude lakes, which may freeze over in the winter, move to warmer areas, returning to their native colony to breed. When flamingos migrate, they do so mainly at night. There are six different species of flamingo, found in locations ranging from the Caribbean and South America to Africa, India, and the Mediterranean. Lesser Flamingos at Lake Nakuru."

They favor environments like estuaries and saline or alkaline lakes. Considering their appearance, flamingos are surprisingly fluid swimmers, but really thrive on the extensive mud flats where they breed and feed. Unique Characteristics Greater flamingos are likely to be the only tall, pink bird in any given locale. They also have long, lean, curved necks and black-tipped bills with a distinctive downward bend. Their bent bills allow them to feed on small organisms—plankton, tiny fish, fly larvae, and the like. In muddy flats or shallow water, they use their long legs and webbed feet to stir up the bottom. They then bury their bills, or even their entire heads, and suck up both mud and water to access the tasty morsels within."

"text": "\"With such brightly colored feathers and few good places to hide while standing in open water, it might seem logical to think flamingos are easy targets for predators. The opposite is true, however, since the marshy, boggy habitats that flamingos prefer offer protection against predators who require stealth and speed for attacks. Few animals prey on adult flamingos, but several will devour eggs and babies. Birds Other birds make up the largest group of flamingo predators. Although adult flamingos aren't often attacked, birds of prey will snatch young flamingos as well as eggs. Chicks may be taken right out of the nest before they're able to walk. Young flamingos who can walk are kept in small groups guarded by a few adults, but enterprising birds of prey find ways to attack them. Young flamingos are vulnerable for quite some time, since it takes three to five years to reach adult size. Common avian predators include white-headed, lappet-faced and Egyptian vultures, as well as Marabou storks, eagles and kites. Cats Wild cats take advantage of the fact that flamingos, especially young ones, have few natural defenses and need to run a few feet before they can fly."

The flamingo is also found in the warmer areas of southern Europe and western Asia. The flamingo stays in flocks of up to around 200 birds and feeds on fish in stiller rivers and lakes. The flamingo usually gets to about 30 years old although it is not uncommon for some flamingos to get to 50 years old. Most species of flamingo are a pinky/orange colour, some however can be white, black or even blue. The colour of the flamingo comes from the flamingo eating a type of algae that then turns the flamingo into the bright pink bird that we are so familiar with. The flamingo is often seen on the banks of the lake standing on one leg. The flamingo is actually sleeping when it is on one leg but the strange thing is, that only half of the flamingo is actually asleep - the half that contains the leg still standing remains active. The flamingo then swaps over so that the remaining side can get some rest and the side that was sleeping becomes active again. There are six different species of flamingo found around the world."

"text": "Why flamingos stand on one leg By Jolle Jolles on March 2nd 2010 in Science The brilliant pink flamingo is often seen while standing on one leg. Although being heavily hypothesized, it has remained unclear, why flamingos stand on one leg. Recent research by scientists from Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia may explain why. The beautiful flamingos often stand on one leg. But why? Matthew Anderson and his team observed a captive flock of flamingos at the Philadephia Zoo. For all animals they noted if they were standing on the land or in the water, if they were standing on one of two legs and on what leg they were standing. They found that although the birds could flee faster when standing on two legs, they stand on one leg more often when in water compared to when being on land. Furthermore they revealed that compared to when it was warmer, in cooler wheather more birds favored standing on one leg. Although it may seem logical that these tropical birds may not need to worry about losing body heat, they spend most of their time in the water which causes them to lose body heat more rapidly."

Ted Fauceglia Photo Trout eat a host of aquatic insects, terrestrial insects, other fish, crustaceans, leeches, worms, and other foods. The food items that are most important to trout and fly fishers are the aquatic insects that spend most of their life cycles underwater in rivers, streams, and stillwaters. They grow to maturity underwater and transform to flying air-breathing adults that mate in the air above our favorite waters. This movement from the water to the air exposes the insects to predators such as trout and birds, and often causes a feeding frenzy. This event is called a “hatch” and is the situation all fly fishers search and hope for onstream. During a hatch, when insects emerge en masse, trout become so focused on this one food item that they will often eat nothing else. This is called selective feeding. “Matching the hatch”—another common term you’ll hear in fly-fishing circles—is the act of choosing the right fly and presenting it in the correct manner to fool selectively feeding trout. To do this you must be able to identify the insect, be familiar with its behavior, size, shape, and to a certain extent color, so it’s important to have a working knowledge of the most important types of insects: mayflies ( Ephemeroptera ), caddisflies ( Trichoptera ), midges ( Diptera ), and stoneflies ( Plecoptera )."

I on the other hand, do not do bugs at all, so it was with a little surprise when while we were going together, he told me about his pet bugs. At the time, his bug of choice was (horrors!) the Black Widow Spider, but after we were married, I was able to convince him to \"\"switch brands\"\". This led to his pursuing an interest in praying mantises. OK, I could go for praying mantises, just as long as they didn't get too close. Even though I couldn't help but get rather creeped out by them, I also could not help but become fascinated by them as well.

They are among the most frequent visitors of flowers in the garden. In Holland and Belgium alone there exist over 300 species! In summer the majority is seen in sometimes great numbers mixing with butterflies, bees, bumblebees and other flower adorers. Their strikingly swift flight, the seemingly freezing still in the air and, with some species, their size are remarkable. Some hoverflies are among the biggest flies of Central Europe.

These insects only have an incomplete metamorphosis, unlike caddisflies and true flies. Whenever we say \"\"mayfly\"\" or \"\"stonefly,\"\" we will be referring to the immature nymphs. Mayflies and stoneflies look much alike. You will have to examine them carefully with a magnifying glass to tell the difference, or even look at them through a microscope. As insects, both have six legs, of course. Both have elongated bodies, with long abdomens. Their similarities may have to do with their similar environments: both hug the bottom of fast streams, clinging to debris, rocks, and sediments with their tiny claws. Both must keep from being washed away (although some mayflies will let go and swim or drift sometimes), and both must breathe underwater.mayfly (Heptageniidae) mayfly (Baetidae) stonefly (Plecoptera)If you are lucky enough to see them up close, there are a couple of things that will tell you what you are looking at: although both have gills, the mayfly carries its gills along both sides of its abdomen, sometimes in fairly visible plates of gill tissue, like the mayflies pictured above. Also, and this may take a microscope, the mayfly has one claw at the end of each leg, while the stonefly has two, giving it six pairs of claws!"

The habits of flies favor the spread of bacteria and other disease-causing organisms. Flies often feed and lay eggs on garbage, manure and carrion before contaminating human foods and food preparation surfaces by landing on them. When feeding, house flies regurgitate their stomach contents onto food to liquefy it before ingesting it. They also may contaminate food and surfaces by defecating on them.

"text": "\"The heat of summer seems to bring out the worst in the insect population, with pesky flies invading your home. As potential disease carriers, getting rid of the summer fly problem is essential. House flies and blow flies, the two most likely summer culprits, enter your home because they're seeking a food source or they've already found one nearby. Breeding Cycle House flies and blow flies share similar life cycles, with both reproducing only in the warmer months. They both look for disgusting places to lay their eggs; house flies prefer animal feces or garbage, while blow flies lean toward the bodies of dead animals. In seven to 14 days, these eggs can complete the life cycle through larva and pupa to adult. When the eggs were laid in or near your house, they often fly around inside to seek food and a place to lay more eggs. The most likely place for house flies to lay eggs inside your home is in your garbage can. Blow flies likely come from animals such as squirrels and mice that die inside your walls, under your crawl space or near your home's foundation, although they also breed in animal feces. Why They Stay When the flies come through cracks in your walls or through open doors and windows it's often difficult to get out."

How to Change Baseboard Floor Registers How to Adjust the Ducts on a House Air Conditioner When you use a forced-air heating system in your home, you're bound to have heat registers too. Sections of duct work, like hallways in a school, run through your home's framing, carrying heated or cooled air to various rooms. Sometimes the ducts run through the attic, but under the floor remains the standard. Wherever each room has a heat register opening (at least one per room), it also has a register cover that prevents items from dropping into duct. Before blocking your heat register openings, make sure it's suitable for your particular circumstances. Why Close Registers? Forget images of exploding duct work or a furnace bursting into flames. If you have a heat register or two that you wish to close off, you can do it quickly and easily, without fear of catastrophic consequences in most instances. In fact, stopping the heat or cold-air flow into a room can save you from 5 percent to 10 percent of your heating and cooling dollars, suggests Carroll Energy Services."

Peter and I are in the midst of enjoying some skiing at an “ undisclosed location ” … but if you’re clever (and/or a longtime reader), you can find out where we are. Let the hunt begin!I recall that in my last post I promised you all a day in the life of a clinical registered dietitian/RD. Jessie promises, Jessie delivers! First, however, a little about what dietitians DO in general. In my experiences talking to the random (wo)man-on-the-street, I have discovered that most people think RDs do one of the following: (A) Tell people what they CAN’T eat (i.e. “yummy” foods), (B) Tell people what they CAN eat (i.e. “healthy rabbit food” ), or (C) A combination of the above. C’mon, raise you hand if you think the above is true. Yes, you!As you can probably guess from my rather subjective verbiage, (A) (B) and (C) does NOT encompass the scope of what an RD can do. The title “ registered dietitian ” is protected because of the science-heavy education, supervised practice, and ongoing training that a registered dietitian must complete and maintain. The title “registered dietitian” distinguishes a trained and certified RD from a “nutritionist” or “nutritional expert” or one of the other many permutations of “nutrition” that require little or no formal training ."

On one hand I can see wanting the wall tiles to come up over the floor tiles but should it really matter? I mean the grout should be sealed no matter which way it's done. Am I nit picking and being a worry wart as usual? I'd prefere in this shower I'm going to start tiling to do the walls first so I don't have to worry as much about new floor tiles being worked over even though I will cover it really well. Also...why can you use Kerdi fabric over a mud shower floor right away but with Red Gard you have to wait the 28 days for it to cure? Kerdi isn't a breathable fabric that allows the concrete to cure after it's been installed...is it?"

I have 2 vents in my house in separate rooms which get poor airflow...possibly due to the way they come off the trunk. The air just seems to go right by them. Anyway, there is no real way to correct these two ducts without ripping apart the house. So I was thinking about installing 2 register booster fans. Does anyone know which company actually makes a quiet and decent quality one? There are so many out there and all of them seem to have 50/50 reviews.

The Sweetened Beverage Tax Ordinance can be found on the Department’s website, in the Downloads section of the Sweetened Beverage Tax webpage, located at https://www.cookcountyil.gov/service/sweetened-beverage-tax. It may also be found at https://www.municode.com/library/il/cook_county. What is the tax rate? The tax imposed will be at the rate of $0.01 per ounce on the retail sale of all sweetened beverages in Cook County. How does the floor tax work? All businesses must begin collecting the tax on August 2, 2017 (previously July 1, 2017). Because retailers may have inventory on that date that they obtained before the tax was in effect, they must remit the tax before collecting it from their customers. Accordingly, retailers must take inventory of bottled sweetened beverages, syrup and powder in their possession on August 1, 2017 and remit tax on those items directly to the Department by September 20, 2017 along with a floor tax return (will be posted on the DOR website). After August 2, 2017, retailers will submit the tax to registered distributors."

"text": "Florida Largemouth Bass Feeding They feed in low light conditions as they do not like direct sunlight. Young Florida Largemouth Bass eat almost anything they catch while adult bass, especially big inactive lunker bass, prefer a specialized high-protein diet of golden shiners, shad, crawfish and salamanders. Florida Largemouth Bass are known to consume small fish, insects, mosquitoes, black fly larvae, mayfly nymphs, worms, adult insects, mussels, crayfish, snails, tadpoles, frogs, small fish, salamanders, mice and turtles. In some cases, the prey is not completely swallowed up initially. It’s caught and held in the jaws and then it’s sucked in. It’s Important to Right Size the Bait The key to landing Florida Largemouth all day is not knowing what it will eat so much as what other fish in the area will eat as well. Spending hours catching small or garbage fish can turn a great day of fishing into a poor one rather quickly. Largemouth bass have a huge appetite and will try to get the largest prey possible in its mouth. If you know the sizes of the fish in your area, right size the bait accordingly. Feeding Around the Clock In general, Florida largemouth bass feed at all hours, but most often in the early morning or late in the day."

But scooping them up to fuel the omega-3 fish oil craze could pull the rug out from under the entire Atlantic coastal food chain. By Richard Conniff The small town of Reedville, Virginia, on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, is a 1950s, Norman Rockwell sort of place. Bunting hangs from a white picket fence ahead of a holiday weekend, and there’s a tire swing in a front yard. The big, handsome houses on Main Street have wraparound porches and a smattering of gingerbread on the gable peaks. Reedville is also still a working town. Summer days start around 5 a.m. with the thrum and rumble of heavy diesels as the big fishing boats head out, followed at 5:50 by the whine of the spotter planes taking off. If a fishy smell, or even the occasional stink, wafts across Cockrell Creek from the Omega Protein Corporation’s fish-processing plant—Reedville’s major employer—locals just breathe deeper. They recently raised $350,000 to restore a beloved landmark, the 130-foot-tall smokestack of another fishmeal factory, now defunct. For almost 140 years, Reedville’s prosperity has depended on one species: the Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus."

Size Range Average 12-15 inches. Largemouth bass can grow 17-20+ inches in quality populations. Contrary to popular belief, there is little difference in the growth or size of bass between eastern and western Washington. State Record 12.53 lbs; Bill Evans; Lake Bosworth, Snohomish County; August 8, 2016Description Largemouth bass is a member of the sunfish family, though larger than those species considered \"\"panfish\"\". Together with six other species of bass, they make up the group typically known as the black basses . Other than the largemouth, the only other member of the black basses in Washington is the similar looking smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu . Largemouth bass are less \"\"flattened\"\" and are longer than other sunfishes. They usually have a general greenish-black color to them, with a prominent dark horizontal band along their midline, whereas smallmouth bass are more of a brownish-green color with subdued dark vertical bands. Also, with their mouth closed, the maxillary (upper lip) of the largemouth bass extends fully past their eye, whereas in a smallmouth bass, it will reach only the middle of the eye."

"text": "\"The Invasive Northern Snakeheads (Channa argus): a Friend or Foe? Hace 230 semanas 4 días 8 horas Posted by Leo Sheng at 3:02 PMHello, Readers!After so many blue moons, I'm finally bringing you guys an entire post that covers the invasive Northern Snakehead Species in the USA ( Channa argus ), which has been anextremely exciting topic in the fishing community since 2002 (and upsetting for some). August 3rd, 2012 - Leo S. with a small Northern Snakehead (Channa argus) from Newton Lake, NJ. During these last 3 years that I've been active in the local fishing community, I've heard way too much about Northern Snakeheads: I've heard about it from fellow anglers, from the general public, from the media (TV and online articles), not to mention that I've seen multiple threads on Northern Snakeheads in different fishing forums (most of them end up in fights because of divided opinions and tons of headache because of biased information on the same). Summarizing all of that - the opinions in the fishing community are always divided in two sections: on one side, there's a part of the community that views this Species of fish as a danger to our aquatic ecosystems and \"\"native fishes\"\" (in quotes, because many anglers don't really understand the definition of a fish being native to a certain body of water); therefore, they kill every single one of them and they firmly support their eradication. On the other side, there's a part of the community that believes that Northern Snakeheads can no longer be eradicated, especially because they are already in open bodies of water (i.e. Delaware River, Schuylkill River, Potomac River); therefore, they are willing to accept this Invasive Species as a \"\"game fish\"\" (in quotes, because the term sport fish/game fish is really relative) and they support the no-harvest idea for Northern Snakeheads. Every time I post a photo of a Northern Snakehead on this fishing blog or my fishing page on Facebook, aggressive e-mails and responses start to come in (i.e. \"\"Kill them! They are destroying our ecosystems!\"\") Even nowadays, I still receive some e-mails from time to time concerning Northern Snakeheads: people ask me about my opinion on their impact; where do I fish for them around Philadelphia and South Jersey; which \"\"side\"\" do I stand with; etc. The e-mails are imminent; after all, it's quite obvious that many people, including members of the fishing community, still don't know enough about them."

The band was formed in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids. Its uniquely theatrical performances gathered a local cult following that subsequently developed into a worldwide fan base. Marilyn Manson's reputation has likewise grown, with the band now considered one of modern music's most widely-known and most controversial; this has been due, in large part, to eponymous lead singer Marilyn Manson — born Brian Warner — and his frequent clashes with religious and political figures. The name of each band member was originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic serial killer, doing so to demonstrate of the odd dichotomy of American society as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its peculiar culture. [ 1] [2] The members of the band dress in outlandish makeup and costumes, and have engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both on stage and off. Their lyrics often receive criticism for anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, drugs and violence. Marilyn Manson's music and performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene, and, more than a few times, protests and petitions have led to the group being banned from performing. As this controversy began to wane, so did the band's mainstream popularity. Nonetheless, its many devoted fans have made Marilyn Manson a consistently high-profile group: three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum certification and three more have been awarded gold, and the band has seen six of its releases debut in the top ten, including two #1 albums."

Johnke All rights reserved***I N T R O D U C T I O N ***The Largemouth Bass is America's all-out favorite game fish ! It is probably the most glamorous species in the fresh waters of the world today. The largemouth is fundamentally a lake fish, and that is where it colonizes best. It is not a scavenger, it is strictly predaceous! It is not fussy about food. \"\" If it moves, eat it!\"\" is a kind of motto of the species. Passionate pleasures are derived from the enticing and ensnaring this voracious largemouth bass. Enticing a bass to accept a lure is pleasure in itself, but finding where such bass may be at any given time is the greatest challenge of all! In order to assist finicky fishermen to become more successful at catching bass, an in-depth scrutiny of highly regarded and well known literature on bass and bass angling was undertaken."

According to top Florida guides, at least 90 percent of the state's 10-pounders are taken on these frisky livebaits. The golden shiner is the primary forage of largemouth in Florida and in many parts of the continent. These baitfish inhabit a huge range from central Manitoba, throughout the East Coast and west to Texas. They've also been introduced as far west as California. Wherever they're found in good numbers big bass will target shiners, selecting them over crayfish, shad, bluegills, or other common prey. These large members of the minnow family commonly reach 10 inches and occasionally approach 12 inches and a pound in weight. Now that's a meal for a monster bass. Fishing with live shiners is fun, too. There's the fascination of fishing floats--watching marauding bass chase your baits to the surface, then watching the float descend before rearing back for a hookset."

Lake Istokpoga is also one of the biggest trophy bass fishing lakes in Florida and throughout the United States. This lake is beautiful, and designated as a Fish Management Area by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Largemouth bass are the dominant fish of choice here, although fishing for black crappie (specks), bluegill (shellcrackers) are very productive. You will see lots of wild alligators, birds like the osprey, snowy egret, bald eagles and many other can be seen on a days fishing trip. Wild ducks and frogs are also plentiful all over the lake and typically seen while fishing in the marsh areas. Trophy bass fishing is very good during the spring on this lake and continues through early summer. Our customers catch weights for five-fish of over 30 pounds, which is a six-pound per fish average. On this lake live or wild shiners work about as well as artificial lures. So if you like fishing artificial lures this may be the lake for you also, with jigs being one of the popular big bass baits."

COMThe following illustration of a largemouth bass shows some of the common external features that are used to describe the differences between fish that are described in more detail below. Fish are animals that are cold-blooded, have fins and a backbone. Most fish have scales and breathe with gills. There are about 22,000 species of fish that began evolving around 480 million years ago. The largemouth bass illustrated above has the typical torpedo-like (fusiform) shape associated with many fishes. Fins are appendages used by the fish to maintain its position, move, steer and stop. They are either single fins along the centerline of the fish, such as the dorsal (back) fins, caudal (tail) fin and anal fin, or paired fins, which include the pectoral (chest) and pelvic (hip) fins. Fishes such as catfish have another fleshy lobe behind the dorsal fin, called an adipose (fat) fin that is not illustrated here."

Averaging around 20 pounds and exceeding 40 pounds, the great barracuda can be caught all year on the Treasure Coast, but the best fishing is during the warm summer months from May through October. We target barracuda with spinning and fly tackle, often live chumming the fish around offshore buoys or wrecks. The sharp teeth of the barracuda require the use of a wire leader, and the strikes are typically very visual and close to the boat. While there is no size or bag limit on barracuda, we typically don't keep them for comsumption. Blackfin Tuna - A schooling fish that's strong and aggressive, the blackfin tuna averages around 20 pounds, but fish up to 30 pounds are common along the Treasure Coast. Blackfin tuna can be caught all year, but the best action is in the spring and fall months. Typically caught on the edge of the Gulf Stream while targeting multiple gamefish, blackfin tuna will explode on live baits and peel off line. They are excellent table fare, and during the summer months can be encountered on the edges of the bonito (little tunny) schools."

"text": "Your Video is Loading How Reflexology Helps Your Organs (1:56)MORE FROM THIS EPISODEDid you know that the bottom of your feet could affect what's going on in other areas of your body? On each foot there are over 7,000 nerve endings called reflexes that correspond to every organ and system within your body. By pressing on these reflex points, you stimulate the nervous system and open energy pathways that may be blocked or congested. From This Episode: Judge Judy's Health Crisis Digestion Digestion issues are the most common issue treated with reflexology. Reflexology point: The sole of your foot, also know as the solar plexus, the nerve center of the body that can help relieve your stomach stress. What to do: The easiest way to do this is with a dryer, golf or any small, hard ball you have at home. Press down on the ball along the inner edge of the middle part of the foot. This relaxes stomach and improves circulation in this area. Stimulating the middle of the foot opens the energy pathways to the organs related to digestion, like the stomach, colon and intestines. This helps blood flow and circulation to these organs and can help alleviate digestive issues."

Reflex arcs can also be more complex. For example, consider what happens when you step on a sharp object. As in the example above, a sensory (pain) neuron carries an impulse to an interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron synapses with motor neurons which pull your foot away from the sharp object, just as in the example above. However, if that was all that happened you would probably fall over! The interneuron also synapses with motor neurons which control the muscles of the other leg. These muscles adjust your position so you do not fall."

It is a relatively simple (but critical) way your body relays information that never reaches conscious awareness. Most of us take a lot of what the body does for us for granted, and that’s a good thing. It would be extremely difficult to have to plan and actively execute every tiny movement we make. As you read this, subtle readjustments are constantly being made between the muscles of your spine and torso to keep you in balance. Your eyes make tiny readjustments for every shift of your head. Your pupils dilate appropriately to adjust to the level of light and to focus on what’s in front of you. When you swallow, your throat automatically closes off your airway to prevent saliva from going down the wrong tube. Each breath you take automatically readjusts to provide the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood, as well as taking deeper breaths now and then to keep the lungs open. These are just a few examples of the automatic responses that keep us functioning every day."

A reflex is built into the nervous system and does not need the intervention of conscious thought to take effect. The knee jerk is an example of the simplest type of reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve thatreceives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord, where it is relayed to a motor nerve. Thiscauses the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and jerk the leg up. This reflex, or simple reflex arc, involves only two nerves and one synapse. The leg begins to jerk up while thebrain is just becoming aware of the tap. Other simple reflexes, the stretch reflexes, help the body maintain its balance. Every time a muscle is stretched, it reacts with a reflex impulse to contract. As a person reaches or leans, the skeletalmuscles tense and tighten, tending to hold him and keep him from falling."

"text": "Primitive Motor Reflexes & Their Impact on a Child's Function01.11.2016This blog will focus on the motor challenges faced by children in the early childhood to school age years with minimal to moderate motor delays that continue to be influenced by what have been described as Primitive Motor Reflexes. A Reflex is a stereotyped response to a sensory stimulus. For the purpose of this blog, minimal to moderate motor delays will exclude children with severe deficits in mobility and gross motor functioning. This includes the need for moderate to maximum physical assistance from others to ambulate. The Primitive Tonic Reflexes appear in infancy and are integrated into normal movement patterns as the infant develops during the first 6-12 months of life. These reflexes are thought to help the infant learn to organize motor behavior. Integration refers to the inhibition by higher centers of neurological control which modify the reflex in such a way that the pattern of response is no longer stereotypical. The reflex does not disappear; it may reactivate under stress or during activities requiring great strength. If these so called primitive reflexes are persistently displayed beyond the expected or typical developmental time period, their presence has been considered an indication that underlying developmental or neurological issues may exist. When these reflexes do not integrate, they may interfere with a child’s development of more advanced motor skills."

"text": "Newborn Reflexes Much of your baby’s activity in her first weeks of life is reflexive. For instance, when you put your finger in her mouth, she doesn’t think about what to do, but sucks by reflex. When confronted by a bright light, she will tightly shut her eyes, because that’s what her reflexes make her do. She’s born with many of these automatic responses, some of which remain with her for months, while others vanish in weeks. In some cases, reflexes change into voluntary behavior. For example, your baby is born with a “rooting” reflex that prompts her to turn her head toward your hand if you stroke her cheek or mouth. This helps her find the nipple at feeding time. At first she’ll root from side to side, turning her head toward the nipple and then away in decreasing arcs. But by about three weeks she’ll simply turn her head and move her mouth into position to suck. Sucking is another survival reflex present even before birth."

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a chronic pain condition with no known cure. It is most commonly reported in the limbs; often the pain will spread from hand to shoulder, or foot to hip. The severity of the pain without severe injury is one of the telltale symptoms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy. There are two types of reflex sympathetic dystrophy: RSD 1, when pain stems from an initial painful event that may or may not be traumatic, and RSD 2, when pain stems from an identifiable painful event or nerve injury."

Williams, MDDisclosures November 20, 2009In This Article The Evaluation of the Elderly Person With Acute Low Back Pain The Focused History The Physical Examination Determining Presence and Severity of Nerve Root Dysfunction Laboratory and Imaging Tests References Determining Presence and Severity of Nerve Root Dysfunction All patients with back pain should have a screening neurologic evaluation including motor function, perineal and lower extremity sensation, deep tendon reflexes, and Babinski reflexes. This brief screening primarily focuses on checking for lower spinal cord dysfunction, long tract signs, and motor and sensory patterns of sciatic nerve involvement. In more than 90% of patients with back and leg pain caused by a prolapsed lumbar disk compressing a nerve root, the herniations occur at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels. A focused examination includes straight leg raise testing and a neurologic examination that includes evaluation of knee strength and reflexes, great toe and foot dorsiflexion strength, foot plantarflexion and ankle reflexes, and distribution of sensory symptoms. These tests should be done to assess the presence and severity of nerve root dysfunction. [ 4]Screen for Lower Spinal Cord Dysfunction Check for lower spinal cord dysfunction by first lightly touching the perineum and the anal sphincter with your gloved finger. Any perianal sensory defect or a lack of an anal sphincter \"\"wink\"\" is a medical emergency and suggests a cauda equina lesion or lower spinal cord compression. This testing is especially important to perform in patients with bilateral buttock or leg pain. Cauda Equina Syndrome The cauda equina (CE) is formed by nerve roots caudal to the level of spinal cord termination. Cauda equina syndrome (CES) has been defined as low back pain, unilateral or usually bilateral sciatica, saddle sensory disturbances, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and variable lower extremity motor and sensory loss."

If the infant has an abnormal reflex it can be permanent or temporary. Babinski Reflex Causes As mentioned it is a normal reflex in a child under the age of two but if it is presence past this age some of the neurological or brain disorders that could be causing it may include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig disease."

"text": "Gettin' the Skinny on Pinched Nerves By Dean Moyer Author of Rebuild Your Back Have you ever wondered if your symptoms might be the result of a pinched nerve? How would you know? How could you tell if it was? After all, pinched nerves won't show up on X-rays or other diagnostic scans. Today, we're going to look at how your doctor checks for pinched nerves and ways you can assist him in diagnosing your situation. The more you know about pinched nerves, the better you'll be at communicating with your doctor, and the better chance you'll both have of arriving at an accurate solution. Understanding The Terminology Doctors use a lettering system to identify the sections of your spine. They label each segment of your spine corresponding to the individual vertebrae themselves. For example the bones of the cervical spine in your neck are labeled C1-C7 from top to bottom. The five lumbar vertebrae are labeled L1-L5 in the same fashion."

According to reflexology, pressure applied to the right reflex points can correct problems with correlating body parts, organs and ones. For instance, a point on the arch of the foot may correspond with liver function. When pressure is applied to the reflex point on the foot, it will improve the liver functioning.credit: Katarzyna Bialasiewicz/i Stock/Getty Images What Is Reflexology Massage [things_needed_1]History Reflexology is an ancient art. The precise date of origination is unknown, but there is evidence that it was a common healing treatment practiced 5,000 years ago in ancient Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Reflexology is coming back in vogue and is the top alternative medical treatment in Denmark, where it is incorporated into employee health programs (see Reference section). Body Map Reflexologists use \"\"maps\"\" of the hands and feet to determine which body systems correspond with one another. The extremities are broken down into tiny color-coded sections on the map that make it clear which organs, valves and bones will be affected by applying pressure to certain areas. There are maps for the feet, hands and the outer ears (see Reference section). For example, in the feet, the left foot corresponds to organs on the left side of the body, while the right side of the foot corresponds to the right side of the body."

Kevin Ryan - Sep 22, 2015 0 (Photo: Screen shot from Coach to Cure MD Web site)This weekend it is likely the coach of your favorite team - and the coach of the team he is competing against - will be wearing a patch on their shirt or jacket. College football coaches nationwide will join together this weekend in support of the Coach To Cure MD program, which will be held during games Saturday. American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) members will wear a Coach To Cure MD logo patch on the sidelines, and more than 60 games will showcase families dealing with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. \"\" I am confident that this year of Coach to Cure MD is going to raise more awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and even more money for Duchenne research,\"\" Georgia coach Mark Richt is quoted as saying on the coachtocuremd.org Web site. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed during childhood and primarily affects boys of all races and cultures. Boys and young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy develop progressive muscle weakness that eventually causes loss of mobility, wheelchair dependency and decline in respiratory and cardiac function. Those with DMD are usually wheelchair bound by their teens, and the life expectancy is usually late 20s with more men making it into their early 30s. Currently, there is no cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and limited therapeutic options exist. “I am always heartened by the level of support our coaches give Coach to Cure MD,” said Grant Teaff, AFCA executive director, in a news release. “"

Aaron Rodgers of the Packers, who will start at quarterback in the upcoming Super Bowl, just switched to a helmet he thinks offers superior protection. Rodgers says the helmet prevented a concussion when he took a brutal blow to the head from Julius Peppers of the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship Game. So a Super Bowl quarterback has found a helmet that might reduce the concussion plague, protecting huge numbers of football players at the college, high school and youth levels. Good news? Here's the catch -- Rodgers won't tell you what kind of helmet he switched to. Neither will the Green Bay Packers. A Super Bowl quarterback and his team have information that might increase neurological safety -- and won't share it. During the regular season, Rodgers suffered two concussions. When he returned to the field late in the year, Rodgers said he had switched to a helmet that reduces concussion risk."

SHARE TWEETBefore Robert and Amy Mc Cormick could see the racial injustice at the heart of big-time college sports, they had to wake up—literally. It was the summer of 2002, and the Mc Cormicks, a married pair of professors at Michigan State University, were living in an East Lansing neighborhood located between a block of student housing and the school's athletic department. Every morning around 5:30 a.m., Michigan State athletes would ride their bicycles past the Mc Cormicks' house on their way to practice. Among them was Charles Rogers, one of the best college football players in the country, a tall, speedy wide receiver whom professional scouts were likening to National Football League star Randy Moss. One morning, Robert saw Rogers whizzing by, his 6-foot-3 frame dwarfing a rickety bike that barely seemed road worthy. He's a first-round NFL draft choice, thought the sports and labor law professor, who had attended Michigan State himself and taught a sports law class at the university since 1984. Next year, he'll be making millions. But now, he's making nothing.

But not a single player will wear pads or have live contact during any of those practices. The NFL doesn't allow it. The league determined that it's not good for the long-term brain health of its players to have that offseason contact. Should the NCAA consider limiting contact during spring practices? AP Photo/Don Ryan Contrast the NFL's approach to the NCAA's. Most NCAA teams recently concluded their spring practices, including their popular spring games. ( More than 570,000 total fans showed up to watch the spring practice games of SEC teams, including more than 83,000 at Auburn and 78,000 at Alabama.) The NCAA permits 15 spring practices and allows live contact in 80 percent of those practices, and permits tackling in more than 50 percent of the practices. The NCAA rules have not been adjusted in approximately 20 years."

Planned days off and vacations offer some relief, but tranquility isn't often possible during the grueling stretch of games, recruiting and spring practice. Yet, each day, 60-year-old Chuck Amato carves out a few moments for peace and solitude. Not with a movie or book, a glass of wine in the evening or cup of coffee in the morning. Every morning just before 7 a.m., the N. C. State football coach turns his car onto Edwards Mill Road in Raleigh, makes a simple left turn just past Trinity Road, drives up a short hill and parks near the chapel at Cardinal Gibbons High School. He gets out, walks through a side door and settles into the same seat to attend mass. This is a side of Chuck Amato few know. Despite a caricature image of red shoes, sunglasses and well-toned pectoral muscles, Amato is a man of substance unseen by fans. A man who holds a degree in mathematics and a master's in education, both from N. C. State. A man who visits a friend in the hospital daily in hopes of sparking optimistic thoughts."

But it wasn’t always that way. Back in the 1880s, fans wore orange (not burnt orange) and white ribbons to support the baseball team, although at the time, Texas didn’t officially adopt those colors. Over the next decade, the university’s teams wore gold and white, orange and white, then the stain-masking (but hideous) combo of orange and maroon. The medical school’s students even wanted the university’s squads to wear royal blue. The issue seemingly was settled in 1900, when the Board of Regents held an election to determine Texas’s colors. According to an article by Jim Nicar of the Texas Alumni Association, here’s how it went down: Students, faculty, staff and alumni were all invited to send in their ballots.

This becomes clear when we stop for lunch at a West Hollywood café, the kind of crunchy, actressy place that serves food on wooden boards. The brothers split up as soon as they walk in. Michael circles a display of expensive sweets (\"\"I don't eat American chocolate,\"\" he sniffs), and Martellus hovers near the entrance, offering health and safety advice to customers as they leave the restaurant. \"\" Wrap it up,\"\" he counsels a man walking out the door. The guy stares at him, trying to deduce why a stranger is telling him to wear a condom. We find a table on the patio, and the brothers sit next to each other. If not for their massive builds -- Michael is 6-foot-4 and Martellus 6-foot-6 -- the two NFL stars could easily be confused for LA hipsters. They're both wearing ripped black jeans and designer T-shirts and have soft beards that frame their chins like fuzzy halos."

[ 3] The first three Lingerie Bowls were held annually from 2004 to 2006 and were billed as Lingerie Bowls I, II, and III. From 2007 to 2009, the next three planned Lingerie Bowls (billed as Lingerie Bowls IV, V, and VI) were all cancelled for various reasons. In 2009, LFL chairman Mitch Mortaza expanded the concept from a single annual exhibition game to a ten-team lingerie football league. Most LFL teams in the United States use the same color scheme as a professional men's football team in the area."

Harmon’s father, Tom, was a running back for the Wolverines from 1938 to 1940, winning the Heisman in 1940. Tom Harmon is one of the most decorated college football players in the sport’s history (he led the nation in scoring his last two years in college) and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. Harmon’s iconic No. 98 had been retired since his playing days until last season, when Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner wore the number for Michigan’s 41-30 win against Notre Dame last year. Gardner is wearing No. 98 this season, too, something the younger Harmon couldn’t be happier about. “He’s an exceptional young man,” Mark said in a Huff Post Live interview Monday. “ Graduated early, terrific athlete, a leader."

Rules were first established in 1863 by the English Football Association and the game is sometimes known as 'Association Football' to distinguish it from other football games like Rugby Football, American Football and Australian Rules Football. It is more commonly known as soccer in North America. It is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players, and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. Football is played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf field, with a goal at each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball with any part of the body, except a hand or forearm, into the opposing goal.

"text": "\"PAGO PAGO, American Samoa -- It's a sweltering afternoon. Shoulder pads are cracking. Coaches are howling. The familiar smell of mud, sweat and grass rises in a pungent steam from the ground. Traditional Polynesian dances help to make Samoans nimble-footed. The senses conclude: football practice. It could be a scene from any football hotbed, from Odessa, Texas, to south Florida, where players dream of 80,000-seat stadiums and highlights on ESPN. But if you want to find this cradle of football, you'll need a globe and a good eye, because Tutuila, the population center of America Samoa, is a 54-square-mile volcanic island in the South Pacific, more than 4,500 miles from the U. S. mainland and 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii. When this nearly four-hour practice is over, the athletes will wrap themselves in skirts -- more accurately, lava lavas, the traditional wraparound sarongs Samoan men wear -- and head back to their open-air homes, or fales, in beachside villages surrounded by tropical green hills. From Junior Seau to Joe Salave'a to Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala, every Samoan playing in college or the NFL traces his roots back to this tiny island of roughly 65,000 people."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Uniform (American football)Uniform numbers in American football are unusual compared to those in other sports. They are displayed in more locations on the uniform; they are universally worn on both the front and back of the jersey; and in many cases \"\"TV numbers\"\" are displayed on either the jersey sleeves, the shoulder pad, or occasionally on the helmets. The numbers on the front and back of the jersey also are very large, covering most of the jersey. More important, certain numbers may only be worn by players playing specific positions; thus, the jersey numbers assist the officials in determining possible rules infractions by players. Under current rules in all three of the most prominent levels of American football ( high school football, college football and professional football ), all players must wear a number between 1 and 99, and no two players on the same team may wear the same number on the field at the same time. In the past, players have used the numbers 0, 00 and in two special cases 100. Those who wear numbers between 50 and 79 are, by rule, playing in specific positions which are prohibited from catching or touching forward passes if their team is in possession of the ball, unless explicitly indicated to the referee during a tackle-eligible play. Other than this, the correspondence between jersey numbers and player positions is largely an issue of semantics. Contents1 National Football League2 NCAA3 High school4 Notes5 References National Football League [ edit]Main article: National Football League uniform numbers See also: List of National Football League retired numbers The National Football League numbering system dates from a large scale change of their rules in 1973, subsequently amended in various minor ways.

The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in the 1970 merger of the two leagues. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Foxboro Stadium from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of the 2002 season. The Patriots' rivalry with the New York Jets is considered one of the most bitter rivalries in the NFL. The Patriots have appeared in the Super Bowl ten times in franchise history, the most of any team, eight of them since the arrival of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady in 2000. The Patriots have since become one of the most successful teams in NFL history, winning 15 AFC East titles in 17 seasons since 2001, without a losing season in that period."

In American football, an official is a person who has responsibility in enforcing the rules and maintaining the order of the game. During professional and most college football games, seven officials operate on the field. Beginning in 2015, Division I college football conferences are using eight game officials. College games outside the Division I level use six or seven officials. Arena football, high school football, and other levels of football have other officiating systems.

"text": "Redskins name debate traces to Bostonglobe file photos Owner George Preston Marshall in 1932 brought his NFL team to Boston, where it played at Braves Field for a season. He then moved it to Fenway Park, its home from 1933-36, and changed its name to Redskins. By Kevin Paul Dupont Globe Staff December 29, 2013George Preston Marshall, laundry magnate and well-known racist, watched his Redskins capture the National Football League championship their first season in Washington in 1937. Nearly forgotten in time is the fact that Marshall’s team was born in Boston. He broke ground in big-time football with his Boston Braves in 1932 and abruptly changed the name to Redskins, in part as a cost-saving measure, upon bolting Braves Field to play the next four seasons at Fenway Park. Now, decades later, the franchise that the oft-controversial Marshall founded here and packed up lock, stock, and logo in December 1936 is embroiled in an increasingly contentious public debate. Should current owner Daniel Snyder hold steadfast to the team name, one that he claims honors both the proud heritage of the American Indian and his storied franchise? Or is it finally time for him to surrender the Redskins name to the mangled scrapheap of racial pejoratives? Advertisement“The name was never a label,’’ Snyder explained earlier this year in a letter to the team’s season ticket-holders. “ It was, and continues to be, a badge of honor."

The Broncos compete as a member club of the National Football League (NFL)'s American Football Conference (AFC) West division. They began play in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the NFL as part of the merger in 1970. The Broncos are owned by the Pat Bowlen trust and have played home games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High since 2001, after previously playing home games at Mile High Stadium from 1960 to 2000. The Broncos were barely competitive during their 10-year run in the AFL and their first seven years in the NFL. They did not complete a winning season until 1973. In 1977, four years later, they qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history and advanced to Super Bowl XII. Since 1975, the Broncos have become one of the NFL's more successful teams, having suffered only seven losing seasons. [ 7] They have won eight AFC Championships ( 1977, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2015, and three Super Bowl championships ( 1997 ( XXXII ), 1998 ( XXXIII ), 2015 ( 50 ). However, the Broncos share the NFL record for most Super Bowl losses (5) with the New England Patriots."

"text": "The First Football Uniforms During the first intercollegiate football game Princeton v. Rutgers played in 1869, the sole suggestions of a uniform were the turbans on the heads of the Rutgers players. In all other respects all the players on both sides came to the field in their ordinary student clothing. A picture of the original game of intercollegiate rugby, taken on April 14, 1874, on Jarvis Field, Cambridge, presented the teams of Harvard and Gill, depicts the Canadians in short white trousers, alternately striped jerseys and turbans, a complete modern uniform even for this modern day. The Yale team of 1894 in simple period uniforms The first use of the complete costumes by an American football team was presented by the Princeton team of 1876 in their game with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn’s first ever game) played at Germantown in November of that year. The Princeton players were attired in black tights. Their feet were clad in baseball shoes made of leather and canvas strips in the fashion of modern sports shoes. Their jerseys were trimmed with orange stripes on the sleeves and at the collars. The players also wore orange striped turbans on their heads, a practice of all players which continued down into the early ’90’s. The resemblance of the orange and black stripes to the stripes of the tiger instantly won for Princeton the name of “Tigers” which is the oldest of the college nicknames. The Pennsylvania players also wore distinctive uniforms: white cricket suits."

The basic equipment that all soccer players must use are: a shirt with sleeves, shorts, socks, shin guards, and shoes (usually cleats). Additionally, a goalkeeper may wear track suit bottoms as part of their basic equipment. No other items may be worn by any player on the field, unless that item serves a protective purpose and is not dangerous to the wearer or any other player or official. Examples include goalkeeper's gloves, ankle, knee, wrist, and elbow braces, and protective headgear. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, snoods, and other items are expressly forbidden. Other items are allowed at the discretion of the referee if they meet the above criteria of purpose and safety."

No school in the country has been more successful in the last decade. When the Catman died last May at age 81, he got the eternal season-ticket plan. His gravestone took the shape of a football, and the lining of his coffin was embroidered with a football, a helmet and the word that is barked proudly every autumn along the Susquehanna River in northeastern Pennsylvania, the word that is painted in blue and white on storefronts this week and can be found on banners and bedsheets hanging on front porches and displayed on the sign at Dunkin' Donuts.

( May 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Players in the National Football League wear uniform numbers between 1 and 99, and no two players on a team may wear the same number on the field at the same time. Rules exist which tie a player's number to a specific range of numbers for their primary position. Additionally, rules exist which limit who may handle the ball on offense, generally players who are designated as offensive lineman, who wear numbers 50-79, are not allowed to handle the ball during a play from scrimmage, though they are allowed to do so if they report to the referee as playing out of position.

Until the 1920s, when the NFL limited its rosters to 22 players, it was rare to see player numbers much higher than 25 ( Red Grange was a notable exception, wearing 77 with the Chicago Bears while playing halfback, which would not be allowed under current NFL rules), and numbers had little correlation with positions (in 1929, the Orange Tornadoes subverted the system even further, experimenting with using letters instead of numbers. [ 1])The numbering system used today originated in football's past when all teams employed some variation of the single wing formation on offense. When teams switched to the T-formation in the 1930s and 1940s, the numbers were taken with them to whatever position evolved from the old single wing position."

Fans that enjoy NFL football often want to show their enthusiasm by wearing jerseys like the ones the pros wear on the field. This is a great way to show your support, whether at home or in the stands, but there are different types of jersey models, and it can be rather difficult to tell the differences just by looking at pictures. Finding a jersey to support teams like the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints, and players like Cam Newton and Peyton Manning is as easy as turning on your computer. Nike is the official maker of authentic NFL jerseys, and you do not even have to leave the comfort of your home to get one. However, it is important to understand your options when it comes to buying the best jersey to represent your favorite team or player. There are three different jersey models that you can choose from, including the game jersey, limited jerseys, and elite versions. Each one has a slightly different appearance and has different features, which affect the price. The Nike NFL Game Jersey The Nike NFL game jersey is considered the official jersey for the NFL.

Playing on an official team is a different matter. Rules governing clothing vary depending on the type of soccer league and where it's located. For serious teams, the regulations of FIFA, which governs World Cup play, are generally followed. The team or league you play for often provides uniforms for players. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Jerseys or T-shirts Most soccer teams outfit players with a T-shirt or jersey in the team colors. A number to identify players is marked on the back of the jersey. Jerseys are generally short-sleeved, although long-sleeved shirts are not uncommon and perfectly acceptable. If the weather is cold you can wear a long-sleeved shirt under your short-sleeved uniform top, but FIFA regulations state that the sleeves must be the same color as the top shirt.

Moreover, there’s also the issue of whether you mean “employee” in its limited, legalistic sense or the more common sense of “anyone who performs work for a particular company for money,” since NFL teams hire a lot of consultants and independent contractors, and also outsource many functions to vendors. That all being said, one fairly recent study I saw, NFL Lockout Could Cost $160 Million, 115,000 Jobs, suggested that the average NFL team employed 3,739 people, which strikes me as a bit high, and is probably including independent contractors and people who work for third party vendors in the definition of “employees.” A strict employee roster will likely be a bit higher than what David Friedman has posted using the Giants as an example.6.5k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Terry N Paulette Wallace Related Questions More Answers Below How many people travel when an NFL team goes on a road game?

The Broncos compete as a member club of the National Football League (NFL)'s American Football Conference (AFC) West division. They began play in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the NFL as part of the merger in 1970. The Broncos are owned by the Pat Bowlen trust and have played home games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High since 2001, after previously playing home games at Mile High Stadium from 1960 to 2000. The Broncos were barely competitive during their 10-year run in the AFL and their first seven years in the NFL. They did not complete a winning season until 1973. In 1977, four years later, they qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history and advanced to Super Bowl XII. Since 1975, the Broncos have become one of the NFL's more successful teams, having suffered only seven losing seasons. [ 7] They have won eight AFC Championships ( 1977, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2015, and three Super Bowl championships ( 1997 ( XXXII ), 1998 ( XXXIII ), 2015 ( 50 ). However, the Broncos share the NFL record for most Super Bowl losses (5) with the New England Patriots."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Danny Gabbidon wearing a Crystal Palace away kit, 2012Away colours are a choice of coloured clothing used in team sports. They are required to be worn by one team during a game between teams that would otherwise wear the same colours as each other, or similar colours. This change prevents confusion for officials, players, and spectators. In most sports, it is the visiting or road team that must change – second-choice kits are commonly known as away kits or change kits in British English, and road uniforms in American English. Some sports leagues mandate that away teams must always wear an alternative kit, while others simply state that the two teams' colours should not match. In some sports, conventionally the home team has changed its kit (such as in rugby union and early association football ). In most cases, a team wears its away kit only when its primary kit would clash with the colours of the home team. However, sometimes teams wear away colours by choice, occasionally even in a home game. At some clubs, the away kit has become more popular than the home version. Replica home and away kits are usually available for fans to buy."

A game lasts for 48 to 60 minutes, but most plays require quick bursts of high-intensity effort. Proper pre-game nutrition can provide you with the energy you need to take on the challenges of game day. Knowing what, how much and when you should eat can give you an edge during competition. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the most important nutrient you can consume to provide energy before a football game. Common carbohydrate foods include pasta, potatoes, cereals and bagels. Electrolyte replacement sports drinks and specially designed energy bars are other sources of carbohydrates. Your body converts carbohydrates to glycogen, the primary energy source stored in the muscles. When you exercise, your body converts stored glycogen to glucose -- or simple sugar -- and uses it for energy. During the early stages of moderate exercise, carbohydrates provide 40 to 50 percent of the energy requirement."

But don’t tell Tina Dollar-Hibbard it was a waste of time for her father to put her name on the list 40 years ago. She was one of the 126 whose names were called this year, 16 years after her dad died.“ I need to decide who I am going to take with me ,” she told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “ I’ve had a lot of offers. ”But as the Press-Gazette notes, for every person who gets called, there are hundreds of fans who continue to wait. This year 99.6 percent of season-ticket holders renewed their tickets. The Packers estimate fans who put their names on the list this year can expect to be called around 2045 or 2050. In the mean time, they’re looking to expand Lambeau Field to help shorten the waiting list. Maybe down to 75,000 names or so."

Of course, the game started several hours later in London, the site of the contest. So with the NFL committed to playing another three games in London next year, will one of them start at 9:30 a.m. ET?“Maybe,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday. One factor will be the TV ratings. According to FOX, they were strong to quite strong, with a 6.6 rating and a 17 share. That’s comparable to the numbers FOX is getting for the World Series. So get ready to watch more early Sunday football. Because enough of you watched the first installment to justify doing it again. Should the NFL continue to play games at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sundays? Yes."

"text": "\"What to Eat for Energy Before a Football Gameby STEVE SILVERMAN Sept. 11, 2017Eating before a football game is serious business. Players need to have sufficient energy to last for anywhere between 48 minutes--during high school games--and 60 minutes--during college and professional games. Players are required to expend maximum energy on 50 to 75 plays per game, and they must have the energy reserves to perform this task. Since football requires so many bursts of energy throughout the game, carbohydrate intake is vital to getting the most out of your performance while maintaining your health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Carbohydrate Intake The body can store the fuel found in carbohydrates and use it throughout the game when playing football. According to Dr. Leslie Bonci, the director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and a nutrition consultant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, believes that 55 to 60 percent of a football player's game day diet should come from carbohydrates, 15 percent should come from protein and 30 percent should come from fat. Bonci says that a game day meal should resemble a \"\"peace sign,\"\" because it will be 1/3 protein, 1/3 starch and 1/3 fruits and vegetables. The protein sources can be fish, chicken or red meat, the carbohydrate sources should be rice, pasta or potatoes and the fruits and vegetables can be anything that is fresh. Eating healthy carbs can be the key to a player maintaining the correct weight and energy levels. \"\" I emphasize carbohydrate-containing foods with lower fat: bagels over doughnuts, mashed potatoes over fries, grilled chicken over fried, frozen yogurt over ice cream,\"\" Bonci says. \"\""

The average amount paid per game is between $70 and $150 dependent upon experience. For a typical season, the average cheerleader makes between $500 and $750 from performing in games alone."

They say Zurich’s Kongresshaus was the precise location. They say it was sitting there, suited up in a shiny maroon outfit, tuxedo and bow tie combo – so incongruous to his usual substitute teacher’s get-up – that Lionel Messi decided it was time to take his spot back. You see, until that moment, there in the dizzying glare of world football’s spotlight, watching Cristiano Ronaldo lift the Ballon D’Or for the second year running, they say Messi had lost focus. Yes, he was scoring goals at his customarily incredulous rate, helping his country to a World Cup final in the process. But Messi wasn’t Messi. Something was up. Chins wagged, beards were scratched; reasons for this dip in productivity were snatched at like vines above a sinking canoe in the rivers of an African jungle: the death of Tito Vilanova, problems with the tax man, persistent hamstring irritations, fatherhood. Whatever the reason, Messi wasn’t himself. His level had dropped by a percentage point or two – and in the business of being the greatest of all time a one percent dip is as noticeable as a thousand volt lightning bolt scorching the earth, burning down villages all around you."

"text": "\"The most revolutionary ideas are sometimes the simplest. Almost 10 years ago, Dean Oliver introduced what he called \"\"Roboscout\"\" by discussing the four factors for winning basketball games. Oliver has come up with a lot of interesting measures through the years, both before and during his life as the head of ESPN's sports analytics team, but his most lasting idea wasn't really a measure at all. Five Factors Explosiveness (35%)Current Ways to Measure: * Yards per play * PPP * PPP+ Efficiency (25%)Current Ways to Measure: * Success Rate * Third-down conversions Field Position (15%)Current Ways to Measure: * Average starting field position * FPAFinishing Drives (15%)Current Ways to Measure: * Points per Trip inside the 40 * Red zone scoring * Red zone S&P+ Turnovers (10%)Current Ways to Measure: * Turnover margin * Adj. Turnover margin * Turnovers luck It was the basketball version of the \"\"You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball\"\" quote from Bull Durham: you hold onto the ball, you shoot the ball, you grab the misses, you draw contact. But Oliver's four factors concept has become commonplace. They are the basis for Ken Pomeroy's statistical profile pages, and Statsheet.com creates four factors graphs (among others) for every college basketball game. So what's the football version of the four factors? Due to sheer numbers, football is a pretty damn complicated sport. In basketball, you've got 10 guys on the court."

The chorus then suggests a few possibilities, like \"\"Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding\"\" and \"\"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow.\"\" Good suggestions, Bård Ylvisåker and Vegard Ylvisåker! But I think we can come up with something slightly more scientifically accurate, and also watch lots of videos of foxes while we do it. So! In Norway, where Ylvis is from, there are two species of fox: the arctic fox ( Vulpes lagopus) and the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ). Here in the States, we have a few others, like the gray fox and the kit fox."

Scott Yaruss Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfludis.2013.10.003 Get rights and content Highlights•Psycholinguistic theories of stuttering indicate phonological encoding is deficit.•Phonological awareness can inform understanding of phonological encoding.•CWS performed significantly less well on tests of phonological awareness than CWNS. Abstract Purpose Several empirical studies suggest that children who stutter, when compared to typically fluent peers, demonstrate relatively subtle, yet robust differences in phonological encoding. Phonological encoding can be measured through the use of tasks that reflect the underlying mechanisms of phonological processing, such as phonological awareness. This study investigated the phonological encoding abilities of five- and six-year old children who stutter. Methods Young children who stutter were paired according to language ability, maternal education, and sex to their typically fluent peers. Participants completed multiple measures of phonological awareness abilities (i.e., sound matching, phoneme blending, elision), as well as measures of expressive and receptive vocabulary and articulation. Results Young children who stutter performed significantly less well than nonstuttering peers on tasks of elision and sound blending. No between-group differences were found in sound matching abilities or in any of the background language measures. Conclusions Results suggest that young children who stutter have subtle, yet robust, linguistic differences in certain aspects of phonological encoding that may contribute to an unstable language planning system in young children who stutter. Educational Objectives: The reader will be able to: (a) describe how phonological awareness can inform our understanding of phonological encoding; (b) summarize the findings of previously published studies that examined some aspects of phonological awareness in children who do and do not stutter; and (c) compare the results of the current study with other investigations of phonological awareness skills in children who stutter and their typically fluent peers."

"text": "By Edward Douglas ON October 1, 2015BEGIN SLIDESHOWA look at the latest Alien 5 and Prometheus sequel developments Last week, director Ridley Scott was back in England promoting his upcoming movie The Martian and of course, every single geek journalist asked about his next project, the sequel to Prometheus, which we now know is going to be called Alien: Paradise Lost. According to Scott, it will start filming in February. Scott’s statements about the sequel, particularly the title, raised more questions and so the same journalists tried to get answers to those questions… and yet, even those answers raised more questions. And because there are so many questions, it’s just made the whole thing that much more confusing. So let’s see if we can figure this out together, shall we? ( And I’ll place an obligatory SPOILER here in case you haven’t seen Prometheus or any of the other “Alien” movies, since you were just hatched yesterday like some kind of Facehugger. ) If you saw Scott’s Prometheus , then you’ll remember that it ended with Noomi Rapace’s Dr. Shaw and Michael Fassbender’s cyborg David (in two pieces with his head removed from his body) flying off to find the world of the Engineers. As expected, that’s the point from where the sequel will continue. Of course, there’s a lot of questions about what the plot might be, but I’m not really into that game of “guess the plot” and we don’t know enough right now to even begin because everything said so far has been fairly vague. Either way, Alien: Paradise Lost will be that previously-announced sequel to Prometheus, and like that movie, it will also connect to the original Alien (also directed by Scott way back in 1979) by being a prequel that introduces how the original aliens were created."

"text": "Fisher Cat Sound and Audio – Sounds it Makes When New Hampshire resident Duke Smith first heard the cry of a Fisher cat he thought he heard a baby dying slowly. The shrieks were constant, high pitched and their resemblance to human voice was really eerie. Several nights and a few missing cat notices later other residents of the neighborhood confirmed that these were the sounds of a Fisher cat. Fisher cats are ferocious predators belonging to the weasel family and are known for their eerie screams and liking for house cats. The sound of a Fisher cat is very shrill and resembles someone calling for help. The shrillness lends a certain high pitch to the sound and makes it sound like a woman or a child. Most people who hear the Fisher cat call for the first time are fairly convinced that they are hearing a human calling out for help. The Fisher cat is a nocturnal animal and the fisher cat cry is sometimes a hunting cry and at others the Fisher cat call is just a mating call. It is well established that the Fisher cat makes the sounds to mate and attract other Fisher cats but people have also noticed the Fisher cat animal scream out just before or after a kill. There is a lot of eeriness associated with the Fisher cat call and most of it is to do with the ferociousness of the animal and the creepy sound of the Fisher cats screech, compounded by the fact that it is found in the wilderness and can be heard mainly during nights."

To this day, when we listen to a song, we’ll start singing along and coming up with harmony parts… and then inevitably cut up laughing. Narrowing down this list was hard. I was going to comprise a list of just 10, but I kept remembering more and more, so I had to expand it to my top 25. Some of these bands have made stacked harmonies their signature sound; you can’t describe bands like CSN, the Beach Boys or the Eagles without acknowledging their lush harmonies right off the bat. So for these bands, I listed more than one song."

The film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical of the same name, composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. [ 4] After bringing and teaching love and music into the lives of the family through kindness and patience, she marries the officer and together with the children they find a way to survive the loss of their homeland through courage and faith. The film was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time—surpassing Gone with the Wind —and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286,000,000."

Having grown up here and spending much of my youth hunting and calling animals, I knew what I heard was not a fox or a raccoon. If I had to describe what it sounded like, I would say it is a cross between a woman being attacked and a bad power steering pump chattering sound. Literally blood curdling. When I first heard the fisher cat sound, fisher cats were an urban legend around here. Some had been seen, but none of these sightings had been confirmed until 2006 when a road killed fisher cat was found in Sandwich. So what exactly does a fisher cat screech sound like? There are many videos on Youtube claiming to be a fisher cat call or fisher cats screaming, but in none of them can you actually see the animal that is making the screaming sounds. In just about all of these videos I have seen, the audio is actually red fox screams, which sound like a loud “Waaaaaah” scream sound."

"text": "\"Bob Beckel is no longer a Fox News employee, a network spokesperson confirmed to Mediaite on Thursday afternoon. Best-known as the salty liberal panelist on Fox’s hit midday talk show The Five, Beckel has been off-the-air since February 16. His absence was surrounded by mystery for several months until the network confirmed that he had undergone back surgery and, later, that he had also sought rehabilitation therapy for addiction to prescription pain medication. Last we’d heard, Beckel’s employment status with Fox remained unchanged, but today, multiple sources tell us, the hosts and staff of The Five were informed of his permanent departure. Fox News tells Mediaite this was an “amicable” split. [ See update below. ] -RELATED: The Good, the Bad, and the Ridiculous: A Tribute to The Five ’s Bob Beckel Beckel had been with Fox News since first signing a contributor contract in 2000, and then officially joining as a regular co-host of The Five in July 2011. Most of his non-hosting appearances occurred as a panelist on Hannity or as the “Democratic strategist” half of panel discussions during Fox’s daytime news broadcasts. While often representing the lone “liberal” voice at the desk, Beckel has stirred up his fair share of controversy: When he called for an end to visas for students from Muslim countries following the Boston Marathon bombings; when he referred to “ the Chinamen ” as the “single biggest threat” to United States security; and when he repeatedly cursed at or gave the middle finger to his co-hosts on live television. UPDATE — 2:35 p.m. ET: Fox News executive VP of programming Bill Shine issued the following blunt statement on Beckel’s departure, first printed over at Politico:“We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn’t hold The Five hostage to one man’s personal issues."

"text": "About Guinea Fowl and Keets Introduction The Guinea fowl we know here in Australia is the Helmeted Guinea fowl ( Numida meleagris ). There are two other species not found in Australia to our knowledge: the Crested Guinea fowl ( Guttera pucherani) and the Vulturine Guinea fowl ( Acryllium vulturinum ). All three hail from Africa—the Helmeted Guinea fowl we have here is a domesticated bird that has been bred for centuries as a table bird, and differs slightly to the wild species. They are gallinaceous birds, or galliforms, a group of heavy-bodied, ground-feeding birds. Other galliforms include the chicken, turkey, partridge, pheasant, grouse and New and Old World quail. “Guinea” in the name refers to Guinea on the west coast of Africa, but the wild species is found over most of Africa. The ancient Greeks and Romans are believed to be the first to domesticate Guinea fowl, and the birds were known to other parts of Europe by the Middle Ages. What are Guinea Fowl Good For? Table Birds As table birds, the taste is described as gamey and with a taste between chicken and turkey. It is apparently quite common in French and Italian recipes."

"text": "\"Hornmasters: Yancich and Fox on the High Range By John Ericson - Jun 10, 2012 3219Continuing our series, in A Practical Guide to French Horn Playing Milan Yancich suggested when warming up to apply the concept of breath accents to aid in high register production. In applying the breath accent… one’s attention is drawn to the source of his breath power in playing the horn. It is important that when going for the higher notes and especially the top note of the arpeggio, the force of the air in the breath accent rather than a squeezing of the lips or a violent pressing of the mouthpiece should help attain the note. It is far better to make the correct approach to the high note and miss it than to get the note by squeezing out a tight, small tone. Eventually one develops the feel of securing the high notes by having the tone ride on the air. This series has been looking in each installment at books in chronological order by date of publication, so next we turn to Fred Fox. Fox has much to say on this topic of quite a bit different nature than other authors. In a chapter titled “The Key to High Notes” in Essentials of Brass Playing Fox points to a way of visualizing aperture control, inside the mouthpiece, to focus high range production. The embouchure consists of two pairs of separate control muscles. The corner pair, the ones used when pronouncing “eeeeee,” and the middle pair, the ones used to pronounce “mmmmmmmmmmm.”"

"text": "Gmail's home page as it looked on March 31, 2004, shortly before the service launched Skizzers.org By Harry Mc Cracken April 1, 2014If you wanted to pick a single date to mark the beginning of the modern era of the web, you could do a lot worse than choosing Thursday, April 1, 2004, the day Gmail launched. Scuttlebutt that Google was about to offer a free email service had leaked out the day before: Here’s John Markoff of the New York Times reporting on it at the time. But the idea of the search kingpin doing email was still startling, and the alleged storage capacity of 1GB— 500 times what Microsoft’s Hotmail offered—seemed downright implausible. So when Google issued a press release date-stamped April 1, an awful lot of people briefly took it to be a really good hoax. ( Including me. ) Gmail turned out to be real, and revolutionary. And a decade’s worth of perspective only makes it look more momentous. The first true landmark service to emerge from Google since its search engine debuted in 1998, Gmail didn’t just blow away Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, the dominant free webmail services of the day. With its vast storage, zippy interface, instant search and other advanced features, it may have been the first major cloud-based app that was capable of replacing conventional PC software, not just complementing it. Even the things about Gmail that ticked off some people presaged the web to come: Its scanning of messages to find keywords that could be used for advertising purposes kicked off a conversation about online privacy that continues on to this day."

"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."

"text": "WHAT IS A FRANCHISE? Franchising is simply a method for expanding a business and distributing goods and services through a licensing relationship. In franchising, franchisors (a person or company that grants the license to a third party for the conducting of a business under their marks) not only specify the products and services that will be offered by the franchisees (a person or company who is granted the license to do business under the trademark and trade name by the franchisor), but also provide them with an operating system, brand and support. A brief separate glossary of franchising terms is available on IFA’s website at http://www.franchise.org/what-are-common-franchise-terms Business Format Franchising There are two different types of franchising relationships. Business Format Franchising is the type most identifiable to the average person. In a business format franchise relationship the franchisor provides to the franchisee not just its trade name, products and services, but an entire system for operating the business. The franchisee generally receives site selection and development support, operating manuals, training, brand standards, quality control, a marketing strategy and business advisory support from the franchisor. More than 120 diverse industries use franchising as their route to market including: Automotive Beverages Business Services Children's Services Cleaning, Maid, and Janitorial Education Food Health & Fitness Home Services Home-based Retail Products and Services Senior Care and Medical Services Travel and Tourism Traditional or Product Distribution While less identified with franchising, traditional or product distribution franchising is actually larger in total sales than business format franchising. In a traditional franchise, the focus is not on the system of doing business, but mainly on the products manufactured or supplied by the franchisor to the franchisee. In most, but not in all situations, the manufactured products generally need pre- and post-sale service as found in the automobile industry."

Dual-income households typically haven't got much spare time for cleaning, so many local home owners may be glad to hear about your cleaning service. Setting Up Your Business Initially, you will need at least a vendor's license for your home cleaning business. All business owners must pay sales taxes on non-wholesale revenue they earn within their state. Apply for a vendor's license through your local county administration office or city hall. Fill out an application and pay the application fee, which should cost you less than fifty dollars. In addition, you will need to apply for a doing business as license if you use a fictional name for your business. You can apply for a DBA when you apply for a vendor's license.

Though the first trilogy was met with some criticism from fans and reviewers alike, the Transformers franchise nevertheless made billions of dollars at the box office and has remained a profitable series for Paramount. The decision to greenlight yet another film was a no-brainer, and now, if an old presentation is to be believed, there are even bigger plans in store. A Hasbro slideshow presentation from 2012 for license holder Vilsco has leaked, and it provides new details about the future of the Transformers franchise. The most interesting slide is a calendar confirming Transformers 5 for Q2 of 2017. Also featured are presumably two animated features for Q1 of 2015 and Q1 of 2016 with curious new faction logos. Meanwhile, the concept art includes character designs for Silver Knight Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, Lockdown and Grimlock from Transformers: Age of Extinction. CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LEAKED PRESENTATIONAdvertising [x]Of course, the release of a fifth film in the franchise is largely dependent on the success of Transformers: Age of Extinction, but it seems Hasbro has very specific plans in mind about how events will unfold. So far their calendar appears to be going according to plan, so there’s no reason to expect that not to continue. The character designs themselves are particularly interesting because we get a good look at the upgraded form of Optimus Prime, dubbed “Silver Knight.”"

But there are many challenges to starting and operating a daycare center, as well as many rewards besides just financial. Working with children can be fulfilling and inspiring in and of itself. Be sure to ask yourself these questions, and get the answers, before you begin your daycare business: What are the Licensing Requirements in Your City, County and State? A daycare center is more tightly regulated than many other businesses. Be sure you count the cost, time and money for obtaining all the requisite permits and licenses for your daycare, and balance that against your projected profits.

"text": "Franchise Development – Doing It Right For those of us experienced in franchising, we are often amazed when companies considering the establishment of a new franchise system (even large, well-established international companies) begin the process at the end – the development of the legal agreements. Presented with a lengthy questionnaire by their legal counsel, they are asked to provide information necessary to prepare franchise agreements and disclosure documents. The problem, though, is that the questions are often their main guide to how their franchise system should be structured. As a potential franchisor you may not fully understand all of the questions or have an independent frame of reference to know what all your available options truly are. The attorneys, knowledgeable in the law and prior agreements, often will provide you with advice and direction. However, without the benefit of being able to evaluate business alternatives, conduct research, and fully explore the strategic considerations that most of these decisions require, the franchise system will often end up operating as a legal vehicle for expansion rather than what it truly should be, a business structure for expansion. Since the franchising process began with the development of legal documents, new franchisors may view their franchise system as a legal device governed primarily by the rule of law. Experienced franchisors understand that while the law is an element of franchising, it truly is a minor portion of the way franchisors manage their business, make decisions on its direction, or how they interact with their franchisees. If you think about legal agreements taking the lead in the franchise development process, it would be similar to an attorney asking you questions necessary to draft leases on a residential building before the market studies are conducted, the location is selected, the engineers have completed their site review, the building is designed, the financing is in place, the permits are obtained, the builder has been selected, or even the costs for construction and management are known. Only in franchising, especially if it is your first time developing a system, the issues are more complex and the risks extend not only to your company and its stakeholders, but your future franchisees Keep in mind: while you may have an operating business with a long history and experienced management, you are developing a new business – a franchise system."

"text": "\"Home: Articles: What Is Franchising? By: Bob Gappa | 339,245 Reads Franchising is one of three business strategies a company may use in capturing market share. The others are company owned units or a combination of company owned and franchised units. Franchising is a business strategy for getting and keeping customers. It is a marketing system for creating an image in the minds of current and future customers about how the company's products and services can help them. It is a method for distributing products and services that satisfy customer needs. Franchising is a network of interdependent business relationships that allows a number of people to share: A brand identification A successful method of doing business A proven marketing and distribution system In short, franchising is a strategic alliance between groups of people who have specific relationships and responsibilities with a common goal to dominate markets, i.e., to get and keep more customers than their competitors. There are many misconceptions about franchising, but probably the most widely held is that you as a franchisee are \"\"buying a franchise.\"\" In reality you are investing your assets in a system to utilize the brand name, operating system and ongoing support. You and everyone in the system are licensed to use the brand name and operating system."

"text": "In the late 20 th century, coffee was merely a beverage, not a lifestyle brand with its own inescapable culture. Then Starbucks ( SBUX) began spreading across the United States and the entire world, and neither caffeine delivery nor the retail real estate industry would ever be the same again. Whether you’re a loyal Starbucks customer or not, you’re probably familiar with the broad strokes of the company’s history. Starbucks was founded in Seattle in 1971, expanded to a few dozen stores (in Seattle, Vancouver, and Chicago) by the late 1980s, then metastasized seemingly overnight into a 25,000-store colossus. ( See also: Starbucks to Provide 100 Million Healthy Coffee Trees By 2025 (SBUX) ). Beans, Water, and Fire The Starbucks concept is about as low-tech as modern business gets, and the corresponding margins are delicious. Even an unadorned black coffee at Starbucks sells for quadruple its underlying costs. So what’s the company’s secret, and how did a glorified neighborhood espresso bar invade 70 countries and turn the consumption of coffee an activity unto itself and an $86 billion business? From Humble Beginnings The company divides its operations primarily geographically, into the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); China/Asia Pacific; and something called Channel Development, which the corporate-speak way of saying “everything other than retail stores.” Channel Development includes the packaged ground coffee you get at the supermarket, and the single-serving Frappucino bottles at the convenience store."

S. By By Bill Lurz, Senior Editor | March 31, 2007Sidebars: The Stats Shooting Star How an Epcon Franchise Works Franchise companies are rare in the housing industry, but Dublin, Ohio-based Epcon Communities Franchising is building a huge network on the appeal of its unusual pinwheel cluster of fourplex condos going to aging empty nesters across the country. The fourplexes are usually built in compact communities — 60 to 150 units — that also feature a small clubhouse. The homes offer single-level living with an attached two-car garage and all exterior maintenance handled through the condo association. The four floor plans range from 1,300 to 1,900 square feet. Probably most important, the price of a two- or three-bedroom home is often about half what a move-down couple can get by selling their larger single-family home. And Epcon develops its communities close to suburban subdivisions, so moving down doesn't necessarily require buyers to move away from friends and family. While Epcon only recently showed up in Professional Builder's Giant 400 rankings, the firm is anything but new. Partners Ed Bacome and Phil Fankhauser began building their innovative pinwheel cluster condos around central Ohio in the mid-1980s. Their original firm, Epcon Communities, is still the largest Epcon builder, but it operates outside the franchise network, fine-tuning the product and business processes franchisees use from South Carolina to Seattle. The product is so repetitive and the processes so standardized that Bacome and Fankhauser describe the business model as \"\"paint-by-the-numbers simple.\"\""

Independently owned garages still play a big roll in the South African economy. According to South African Petroleum Retailers Association (SAPRA), who represents all the stakeholders in the petroleum industry, before a new filling station can be opened, three sets of approvals, authorisations and licenses are needed. Land use rights for purposes of a filling station;An environmental authorisation; and Site and retail licenses. In terms of the Petroleum Products Act, 1977 (PPA) as amended in 2006, and which is administered by the national Department of Energy, one cannot apply for a site and/or retail license before you have both land use rights and an environmental authorisation. More on the Government Funding Options Available to You Existing filling stations are in a particularly strong position because of the PPA which controls the energy authorities to ensure that the number of filling stations is appropriate to local sales volumes and does not exceed the optimal number for an area.

By Laurie Jo Miller Farr Professional Travel Writer, French-Speaking Tour Guide Source The easy answer to the question \"\"What do French people eat?,\"\" is that they eat just about everything. In France, like in most developed countries, there are meat lovers and vegetarians, and there are people who prefer salty and others who prefer sweet. However, aspects surrounding food in France set the country apart from other countries. History of Food in France Food is a very important part of life in France, which makes it also a very important part of French culture. While the British are known for afternoon tea and Americans are known for their bottomless buffets, the French embrace long, lingering meals that feature several courses. This food culture is integral to the dynamics of daily life in France. A fast-paced, 21st century lifestyle has brought changes to France. For example, giant supermarkets that resemble major American chains have found their way to France in the last 20 years."

For example, a typical French dinner is rarely served before 8 p.m. While restaurants abound, many locals eat at brasseries, small cafes serving basic lunch and dinner fare at affordable prices. Eating is often an “occasion” in France and people lounge around the table, having extensive conversations while eating dinner or lunch. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Bread and Pastries The typical image of eating a croissant in Paris exists for a reason. The French are not afraid of carbohydrates and items like baguettes, croissants, pain au chocolat, crepes and waffles are staples of the diet. A platter of bread slices and cheese often begins a meal and sometimes accompanies a glass of wine in restaurants and at home. Truffles Forty-five percent of the black truffles sold around the world come from France. This expensive mushroom is typical of southeast France and is harvested from the wild using dogs and pigs, both of which can distinguish their aroma and locate them easily. Regional Cuisine French cuisine is very regional, which means foods traditional in the north of France might not be part of the diet in southern France.

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."

While hotels and bed & breakfasts usually provide American-style breakfasts with cereal, eggs, and orange juice, these types of foods are highly atypical for most Russian homes. The reason you won’t find “traditional” Russian foods in most hotel breakfast spreads is that Russian breakfasts tend to be simple, filling, and not particularly appetizing (to someone who is not used to these foods at breakfast). Personally, I find a Russian breakfast delicious and comforting, but then again I ate it growing up for many years!Rye Bread and Sausage The most common foods on the Russian breakfast table are rye bread, (optional) butter, and sliced sausage. With these, a sort of open-faced sandwich is created, although that name is really too ornate for what it actually looks like. The sausage is usually a simple soft sausage similar to Bavarian sausage, not a harder one like salami; although some Russian people do prefer a more salami-style sausage. Rye bread is a staple in most Russian homes; it is a dark brown color and is called “black bread” in Russian. It has a strong, sweet flavor and is quite tough, not soft like typical white or brown bread. Some Russian families do eat white bread, but it is rare to see “whole-wheat” or brown bread on a Russian family table. Eggs Eggs – particularly scrambled eggs – are also sometimes made on the weekends, and you will definitely find them in hotels and restaurants."

The fine dining experience promises the customer a full service restaurant with highly trained staff in uniform or more formal attire than jeans and a t-shirt. The kitchen staff is usually formally trained and has a traditional hierarchy in terms of staffing. The menu is typically extensive and features high quality and often unusual ingredients that require elaborate preparation."

Re: average cost on food20 Aug 2007, 16:38Hi georgia: Well let's see, eating out in Bora Bora can be expensive but honestly it depends on where you eat! A croissant, coffee, fruit is inexpensive for breakfast as opposed to a full breakfast at the resort which usually runs about $35 per person. Dinner can be pizza or a burger or eating out at a fine restaurant can run about $75 per person for appetizer, entree, dessert (alcohol additional) on the average. A burger and a beer at the resort is about $20-25US. Bring snacks along with you like energy bars, chips, nuts etc in your luggage to save alittle $."

"text": "Review: Disneyland Plaza Inn’s Breakfast with Minnie and Friends By AJ 21 Comments The Plaza Inn in Disneyland can be found on the corner of Main Street and Tomorrowland, but there’s nothing futuristic about it! The Victorian setting features a fun buffet breakfast in the morning (with characters! ), and some fantastic counter-service cafeteria-style food in the afternoon and evening (they say the fried chicken is to die for). Front of Restaurant Atmosphere The Plaza Inn Breakfast with Minnie and Friends is the only character meal inside Disneyland Park, so it’s a great one to start with if you’re planning to do the day in Disneyland and you’d like to get a hearty breakfast. On our way inside the restaurant, you’ll pass some cute outdoor seating. It’s primarily used during the lunch and dinner meals, though; most breakfast guests will sit in the opulent indoor dining room with its floor-to-ceiling curtains and crystal sconces and chandeliers.outdoor seating Entryway On our visit, guests were given the chance to take a family photo next to a backdrop prior to heading into the dining room for their meal. This either happens outside on the porch, or inside in the entryway. Once you step inside the restaurant, you’ll see the lovely Victorian decor found throughout this restaurant. From paintings and artwork to columns and gingerbread details, the place really does look a bit more like a museum than a breakfast buffet!Decor Buffet From Entryway But, sure enough, you’ll soon be greeted with the standard Disney hot plates and buffet touches that you’re familiar with!Buffet Area Of course, I haven’t seen a soft drink dispenser like this before…Bronzed drink machine After being led to your table, you’ll be given the chance to head up to the buffet to fill your plates. But take a moment to see what characters are visiting the restaurant and where they are."

"text": "The French buy their produce fresh from the market French people are taught to appreciate fine foods from a young age and to take great pride in their nation's culinary reputation. The foods typically eaten vary greatly by region, ranging from the game-based dishes of Normandy to the light, Mediterranean cuisine of Provence. The French eat three times a day with no snacking between meals. Breakfast is the lightest meal, usually consisting of just bread and coffee, and is followed by a large, leisurely lunch and four-course (or more) dinner. French Meat Dishes A typical French lunch or dinner centers around some form of meat, whether beef, pork, poultry or game. The French tend to buy meat fresh from the butcher, where they can inspect the piece before purchasing it and can haggle over the choicest cuts. Classic French meat dishes include Coq au Vin (cockerel in red wine), Cassoulet (beans stewed with pork, duck or mutton), Confit de Canard (“preserved” duck) and Steak Tartar (raw ground beef). The French also have a great fondness for sausage and often eat charcuterie (sausage, ham and cold cuts) as a prelude to a main meal. In many regions of France, animal organs are a fundamental part of the traditional cuisine. Popular items include chicken gizzards, tripe, chitterling sausage, and foie gras (goose or duck liver pâté)."

And, since Italians have been perfecting it for over 1,000 years, try going with the wine and olive oil flow instead of fighting against the current when you’re in Italy.1. Don’t ask for “fettuccine alfredo” or “spaghetti with meatballs”They don’t exist here. Alfredo is an Italian name, and when I asked my Florentine friends if they really had never heard of “fettuccine alfredo,” they responded: “Chi?” ( Who?) To get pasta with cream sauce, try any one with panna (cream) listed in the ingredients - just know that you’ll never find pollo (chicken), on that same list. Explaining the idea of putting chicken in pasta provokes confused looks and expressions like, “Che schifo!” ( How disgusting!) Likewise, spaghetti is not served with meatballs. In Naples, you’ll find miniature ones on other types of pasta."

Also, we wanted to send the class some Norwegian sweets to try -- Norwegians have one thing in common with Americans, and that is that they like their candy. All the grocery stores have a complete aisle that's devoted to candy. But the candies are different too -- almost all are small candies in bags, like gummy bears or hard candies. Norwegians especially seem to like chewy candies, and they love black licorice in particular. Every store has bins full of different flavored and shaped soft chewy candies that you can scoop into a bag and purchase by weight. There are even chewy candies shaped like little tiny fried eggs and hamburgers. They are funny to look at, although they all seem to taste mostly the same, so they're not so exciting to eat. One of the most popular candies here is a slightly sour fruit candy in the shape of cars. The candies are called (not surprisingly) \"\"Biler,\"\" which translates as \"\"cars.\"\""

A typical French breakfast is a cup of coffee and a croissant. So lunch is first main meal of the day. If one eats at home, it can be anything from salad, pasta , steak, chicken, fish, pizza etc. At restaurants or cafés, there is always a Plat du jour ( set menu of the day ) which includes salad, main dish ( hot dish with meat ) dessert or a cup of coffee. Price is between 12€-30€ depends on the area. Wine is not included. You have to pay for any alcoholic drinks."

"text": "What Is Needed to Take Care of Frilled Lizards? By Ben Team Frilled dragons (Chlamydosaurus kingii) are medium-size lizards from Australia and New Guinea. Named for the iconic neck frill with which they intimidate predators and rivals, frilled dragons are hardy lizards who thrive in captivity with the proper care. While not a good choice for a first pet lizard, they do not present any unusual maintenance challenges. If you provide an appropriate enclosure, furnish it properly, monitor the temperatures and provide the food and water correctly, success is just about guaranteed. Enclosure Frilled dragons require spacious cages to allow for natural behaviors. While adult males should not be kept together, as they may fight and injure each other, you can housejuveniles, pairs or multiple females together if you provide enough space. A pair or two of hatchlings can live in a 10- or 20-gallon enclosure, but they grow quickly and will soon need a larger habitat. Most frilled dragons reach adult size in 12 to 24 months. Custom-built or commercially produced cages are preferable to aquariums."

They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle. Komodo dragons are cannibalistic, and adults will prey on young ones as well as old and sick dragons. Other dragons may make up to 10% of a dragon's diet. They have been known to stalk human beings.

Some species of monitor lizard are thought to carry a fairly weak venom, for example, the komodo dragon which is the largest of the species. The komodo dragon is native to the small Indonesian island that it is named after and is the largest species of lizard in the world. According to legend, monitor lizards were a sign that there were crocodiles close by, possibly due to their standing on their hind legs to monitor their surroundings. Monitor lizards do this so that they are aware of any approaching predators. Although many species of monitor lizard are quite big, some species of monitor lizard are smaller than 20 cm in length. Monitor lizards are extremely versatile animals and monitor lizards adapt well into different environments. Most species of monitor lizard have a predominantly carnivorous diet, eating eggs, smaller reptiles, fish, birds and small mammals.

The lizard is a reptile with scaly skin, and some species of lizard can shed their tails when the are in danger, but not all species of lizard are capable of doing this. There are around 5,000 different species of lizard ranging from small lizards that are just a few centimeters in size, to much larger and more predatory lizards that measure a few meters from the head of the lizard to the tip of their tail. Most species of lizard are either good climbers, or failing that good at sprinting which enables all the different species of lizard to escape danger in a flash. Some species of lizard are said to be so good at anchoring themselves into solid material and it has been known that criminals breaking into houses, are able to use the lizard almost like a ladder, and therefore are able to climb up the lizard into the house. Lizards are reptiles which means that lizards are cold blooded. Lizards tend to be more active during the night as lizards spend the day basking in the hot sun in order to warm themselves up. Lizards are therefore able to recharge their batteries during the day and can hunt with success at night. For most species of lizard, sight is crucial both for locating prey and for communication between other lizards. Due to their extremely tuned eyesight, many species of lizard have highly acute color vision."

The frilled lizard is known by a number of names including the frill-necked lizard and the frilled dragon. The frilled lizard is an arboreal animal meaning that it spends the majority of its life in the trees. Frilled lizards can be found in humid climates such as tropical jungles and forests, across Australia and Papua New Guinea. The frilled lizard is named after the large fold of skin that usually lies folded up against the frilled lizard's head and neck. When the frilled lizard feels threatened, the fold of skin fans out around the frilled lizard's head in order to make the frilled lizard appear larger and more intimidating than it is. The frilled lizard is fairly large species of lizard that can grow to nearly a meter in length. The long tail and sharp claws of the frilled lizard help the frilled lizard when it is climbing around in the trees. Like many other species of lizard, the frilled lizard is an omnivorous animal and the frilled lizard will therefore eat almost anything it can find. Despite this though, the frilled lizard will eat meat whenever possible as it hunts a variety of insects, spiders, rodents and small reptiles."

Chameleons are found throughout jungle and desert alike, in Africa, Asia and parts of Southern Europe and chameleons have also been introduced to parts of North America. There are thought to be more than 160 different species of chameleon that range from just an inch to more than a couple of feet in size. The tiny pygmy leaf chameleon, found in the jungles of Madagascar, is the smallest species of chameleon with some males measuring less than 3 cm long. The largest species of chameleon, the Malagasy giant chameleon, is also natively found in the jungles of Madagascar and can grow to nearly 70 cm in length. Parson's chameleon, also found in Madagascar can grow to around 65 cm in length. Some species of chameleon, although not all, are able to change the colour of their skin in order to be camouflaged into their surroundings. These colour changes in the chameleon's skin colour can include colours such as pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow and turquoise, all so that the chameleon can blend in more easily. The chameleon has exceptional eyesight for a reptile as the structure of the chameleon's eye, allows the chameleon to have complete 360 degree vision around it's body. This special adaptation, allows the chameleon to be able to hunt prey and spot predators more effectively."

Broadway openings with A-list talent keep Times Square warm with buzz while masses huddle outside ramen outposts in the East Village for world-renowned bowls of noodles. From inspiring displays of art to sledding in Central Park, this is the definitive list of things to do in New York this winter. — Zachary Laks Courtesy of Whitney Museum of American Art; Photo by Nic Lehoux Art Museums New York City's art collections are an embarrassment of riches, so warm up while viewing the work of Picasso, Monet, or Pollack this winter. Start at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the city's largest and most-visited attractions, where a full day spent wandering its grand halls begins to scratch the surface of the museum’s world-class collection. The Museum of Modern Art features two rousing exhibits this winter: time is running out to see Picasso Sculpture (now through February 7), featuring more than 100 sculptures from the Spanish artist; and a Jackson Pollack exhibition titled A Collection Survey, 1934–1954 (through May 1), featuring 50 paintings, drawings, and prints that track Pollack’s style over two decades. Head down to the Meatpacking District to discover the new Whitney Museum of American Art. Attracting a crowd off the High Line, the Whitney’s current Frank Stella exhibit (through February 7) is a crowd favorite, offering a retrospective on the artist’s 55-year career.

The legs of edible frogs are also consumed in other parts of the world, including Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, northern Italy, the Alentejo region of Portugal, Spain, Albania, Slovenia, the northwest Greece, the Kerala state of India and the Southern regions of the United States. As of 2014, the world's largest exporter of frogs is Indonesia, also a large consumer. In such regions as Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean, many frogs are still caught wild. Frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and potassium. [ 1] They are often said to taste like chicken [2] because of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings. [ 3] The taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between chicken and fish. [ 4] Frogs are raised commercially in certain countries, for example Vietnam. Frog muscles do not resolve rigor mortis as quickly as muscles from warm-blooded animals (chicken, for example) do, so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs to twitch."

A good example is the snake. Snakes gained an evil reputation in their depiction in the Garden of Eden, yet they have also become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine, as depicted by the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius. In natural science, amphibians and reptiles are bundled together as the study of Herpetology, which is a branch of Zoology. Collectively they are known as herps, herptiles, or herpetofauna. The term “herpetology” is derived from the Greek word “herpton”, meaning a creeping thing. Herptiles are vertebrates and include both reptiles and amphibians. The animal world is inhabited with approximately 58,000 species of vertebrates, which seems like a lot, yet is only about 3% of all animal species. Invertebrates make up the bulk of the animals at 97% of the species. The arthropods are land invertebrates and include the arachnids (scorpions, whip scorpions, and tarantulas), centipedes, millipedes, and many others."

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.

This class of animals includes not only frogs but toads, salamanders and caecilians. The word \"\"amphibian\"\" means double life. It's a good name because many species of amphibian spend part of their life in aquatic (water) and terrestrial (land) environments. Because their skin lacks a shell, scales or outer drier covering, most amphibians live in wet or damp places so their skin doesn't get dried out. Q. What's the difference between a toad and a frog?

Also known as a pollywog. In the beginning it breathes by means of external or internal gills. It has a finlike tail and lacks front and hind legs. As a tadpole matures, it metamorphoses by gradually absorbing its tail and then grows its front and back limbs. Most tadpoles are herbivorous, subsisting on algae. Tadpoles change from being vegetarians (plant eaters) to being carnivorous (meat eaters) once they start to develop their legs. If food is scarce in a tank the tadpoles and froglets may start eating each other. You may want to put a bit of cat food or fish food that floats on the top of the water to be sure they have enough food, but take care not to over feed to avoid polluting their water."

The American Bullfrog is native to the east and central US (orange) and invasive in the west (red). It has also invaded Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

"text": "Choosing the best alligator meat can depend on your own personal tastes, and what you are specifically looking for. The tail section is typically considered to be the best tasting type of alligator meat, though personal preferences can differ. Other types of alligator meat, such as the ribs and midsection, are darker, and usually have a stronger flavor, which may be what you are after. There is also a section in the tail known as the tenderloin, which is often highly sought after. Alligators can also taste differently depending on whether they are farm raised or caught in the wild, and the tenderest, most flavorful meat typically comes from animals that are under six feet long (about two meters). There are two different species of alligators, one in North America and the other in China. The Chinese alligator is listed as a critically endangered species, while the American alligator is plentiful, and can be found throughout the Southeastern United States. Both species are consumed by humans, though the American alligator is widely farmed for its meat and hide, and many states also have short hunting seasons each year. The meat of alligators can have a similar taste to chicken, frog legs, or fish, though the soft texture is sometimes compared to veal. Most of the alligator meat that people consume comes from the tail, though the best cut can depend on your own personal tastes."

"text": "By Kathryn Weber Few symbols embody feng shui the way the three legged toad does. And whether you call this little amphibian a wealth frog, money toad, lucky money frog, or three legged prosperity toad doesn’t matter. What matters is that you display this delightful creature wherever you want wealth to find you. The money frog legend Like many symbols in Chinese lore, the money frog came from a legend. The legend is about a frog named Chan Chu. The story begins that a wife of one of the eight immortals stole the elixir of immortality and fled to the moon. When she drank the elixir, it turned her into an ugly toad. Compassionate gods allowed her to keep the tail of a tadpole, or third leg, versus two legs of a fully developed toad. The toad, Chan Chu, liked money, too, and was tempted into a well with gold coins. One reason wealth frogs are said to be associated with money is that they can always be found where there is water."

Their sparkling colors, however, are not for beauty but for warning: “Hey! Here I am, and I am poisonous, so don’t even think about eating me!”Poison frogs are tiny, terrestrial, diurnal frogs that live primarily in leaf litter on the forest floor, but some species live high in the forest canopy and may never come down. All are native to warm Central and South American rain forests near streams or ponds. The frogs’ poison is found in their skin, making them too toxic to touch. While most species are considered toxic but not deadly, they are distasteful to a predator and can even be fatal. The poison can cause serious swelling, nausea, and muscular paralysis. If a predator survives the mistake of trying to eat one, it will remember tasting such a frog and will not try to eat anything similar in the future. In this way, an entire population of frogs of a particular color can benefit from the predator’s experience with only one of their kind. However, there is one snake, the Leimadophis epinephelus, that is immune to poison frog toxins and feeds on the little creatures."

However, surface cleaning alone is not enough. Two to three times a year you will need to detail the upholstery to maintain a like-new appearance. Before using any product on your car’s fabric upholstery, carpet, leather or vinyl, test for color fading by cleaning a small, inconspicuous area. Do not use the product if it adversely changes your fabric’s color or texture. Car Interior Detailing: A Systematic Approach The interior of your car takes a lot of abuse. Unlike the inside of your home, which has many times more square footage, the inside of your car gets repeated and concentrated traffic. When you get in your car, you drag in more dirt. Each time you eat or drink, you add a few more crumbs and spills."

Often in the understairs space we are used to leave, temporarily various things, from the bucket mop for washing floors on a chair that becomes a table top for anything that you do not know where to put , but also for paint cans, children’s toys, vacuum cleaner and more you have more you put there. Result: the word ‘ temporarily ‘ often becomes ‘ permanent ‘ and the space under the stairs becomes , in effect, a space difficult to keep clean and no nice to see. UNDERSTAIRS CLOSETWe are all aware that today’s homes are getting smaller and smaller and that there is often no space to store tools, toys or things that you do not use every day, and therefore, why not make space under the stairs more functional and usable by building an understairs storage? To achieve this we can build a cabinet under the stairs, making a shelf or a drawer to fit the space under stairs. We will have the advantage of using rationally that space and at the same time to make that area aesthetically pleasing. WHAT TO DO TO BUILD AN UNDERSTAIRS WARDROBELet’s say that, basically, there are two solutions that also depend on the shape of the space under the stairs. Understairs closet with side access. Basically you create a walk in wardrobe by applying a wooden wall or plasterboard that closes the triangle under the stairs providing access from the top of the scale below (you can tell from the vertical side of the triangle) with front access , i.e. with a set of drawers or shelves placed in front , xxx that you can open or that are sliding on tracks or wheels.

If the builder was going to be doing only one door as black, or spraying every finish in the house with the same white paint, or using lower grade paint, then the difference makes more sense. If you already have a contract that didn't provide for a choice of color, then as a change order (\"\"upgrade\"\") you don't have much leverage. However, if it's a must have, then up to $50 per door starts to sound preferable to arranging to do it later after the builder leaves.

"text": "Microbiology, study of microorganisms, or microbes, a diverse group of generally minute, simple life-forms that include bacteria, archaea, algae, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. The field is concerned with the structure, function, and classification of such organisms and with ways of both exploiting and controlling their activities. The 17th-century discovery of living forms existing invisible to the naked eye was a significant milestone in the history of science, for from the 13th century onward it had been postulated that “invisible” entities were responsible for decay and disease. The word microbe was coined in the last quarter of the 19th century to describe these organisms, all of which were thought to be related. As microbiology eventually developed into a specialized science, it was found that microbes are a very large group of extremely diverse organisms. Daily life is interwoven inextricably with microorganisms. In addition to populating both the inner and outer surfaces of the human body, microbes abound in the soil, in the seas, and in the air. Abundant, although usually unnoticed, microorganisms provide ample evidence of their presence—sometimes unfavourably, as when they cause decay of materials or spread diseases, and sometimes favourably, as when they ferment sugar to wine and beer, cause bread to rise, flavour cheeses, and produce valued products such as antibiotics and insulin. Microorganisms are of incalculable value to Earth’s ecology, disintegrating animal and plant remains and converting them to simpler substances that can be recycled in other organisms.

"text": "Posted at March 3, 2011 | By : Growers Gold | Categories : Articles | Comments Off on What are Mycorrhizae? The word mycorrhizae (pronounced My-cor-rye-zay) refers to a group of fungi which form a mutually beneficial relationship with many plants. These fungi grow either inside of a plant’s roots or attach to the surface of a root. The fungi benefits from the plant’s food and nutrients and in turn send their hyphae (like small roots) out into the surrounding soil to absorb nutrients and water. So, mycorrhizae actually enhance a plant’s ability to take up nutrients and water. Because of this, research has shown that the presence of mycorrhizae also help plants deal with drought and some diseases. Approximately 95% of the world’s plants have some form of mycorrhizal dependence. As far as growing is concerned, in many cases, increased root and top growth occurs when plants are treated with mycorrhizae. These benefits are not always evident, especially on short term crops, unless the crop is stressed or planted into a landscape where water and nutrients are less available. TYPES OF MYCORR HIZAEThere are two main groups of mycorrhizae – Ectomycorrhizae and Endomycorrhizae."

At the same time, the Good is that microbes provide many essential services to Earth, including allowing plant productivity (the dominant base of Earth's food web) to be sustainable, and allowing humans to live - basically, without microbes, humans wouldn't be alive. Finally, microbial organisms are collectively incredibly powerful at the global scale – 50% of the total oxygen produced over the history of the Earth is from bacteria; 75% of additions of nitrogen to the atmosphere, and 92% of removal from the atmosphere are due to bacteria. And of that nitrogen, bacteria produce 88% of the nitrous oxide released to the atmosphere, N 2 O, which is 300 times more potent than CO 2 as a greenhouse gas. Microbes are also responsible for ~70% of the methane production on Earth (25x more potent than CO 2 ), and ~50% of the CO 2 put into the atmosphere comes from bacteria. In this lecture we will learn about the diversity of microbes, how different microbes function to gain energy, and we will specifically learn about the \"\"Good\"\" aspects of microbes and the impacts of microbes on ecosystems and on our globe. The Take Home Messages for this lecture are: Microbes can do anything they want, wherever they want and Without microbes, humans wouldn't be alive. Definition Microbes are organisms that we need a microscope to see. The lower limit of our eye's resolution is about 0.1 to 0.2 mm or 100 - 200 um (microns). Most microbes range in size from about 0.2 um to the 200 um upper limit, although some fruiting bodies of fungi can become much larger."

The standard for the name \"\"mushroom\"\" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, hence the word mushroom is most often applied to fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap just as do store-bought white mushrooms. However, \"\"mushroom\"\" can also refer to a wide variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word. Forms deviating from the standard form usually have more specific names, such as \"\"puffball\"\", \"\"stinkhorn\"\", and \"\"morel\"\", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called \"\"agarics\"\" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their placement in the order Agaricales. By extension, \"\"mushroom\"\" can also designate the entire fungus when in culture or the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms Typical mushrooms are the fruitbodies of members of the order Agaricales, whose type genus is Agaricus and type species is the field mushroom, Agaricus campestris. However, in modern molecularly defined classifications, not all members of the order Agaricales produce mushroom fruitbodies, and many other gilled fungi, collectively called mushrooms, occur in other orders in the class Agaricomycetes."

Microbes include bacteria and archaebacteria, protists, some fungi and even some very tiny animals that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope. Viruses and the recently discovered prions are also considered microbes. The term microbe is short for microorganism, which means small organism. To help people understand the different types of microbes, they are grouped or classified in various ways. Microbes are extremely diverse and represent all the great kingdoms of life, including the animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria (see the tree below). In fact, in terms of numbers, most of the diversity of life on Earth is represented by microbes. Here is an outline of the major groups of organisms: Prokaryotes Eubacteria Archaea Eukaryotes Protists Fungi Plants Animals Viruses Prions At the most basic level, all living things can be divided into two major groups of organisms depending on the type of cells they have.

"text": "Home > Articles and Information > Articles and Technical Info > Dry Rot and It's Control Dry Rot and It's Control The true dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans, is often regarded as the “cancer” of a building. Many myths have built up concerning what this fungal decay is capable of doing, occasionally leading to the belief that the fungus is indestructible and that the whole of the building will have to be torn down... However, dry rot is vulnerable to certain environmental effects and like all wood destroying fungi it has essential needs, and it is those needs that limit the extent of spread and damage that this organism can inflict. Unfortunately dry rot is a very secretive organism, favoring dark, damp stagnant conditions to develop. This is frequently why it is able to spread extensively before the damage is first noticed. Often times, once it is noticed, extensive damage has occurred. One might expect large volumes of nasty chemicals to be used and that they will have to put up with the risk of any toxic effects and unpleasant odors and fumes, which may be a part of the treatment. That is not the case here. We will describe the borate wood preservatives and how they can be best utilized in an existing structure to stop rot. Borates are a relatively new series of fungicides based on boron, a naturally occurring mineral. These products are virtually odorless and have mammalian toxicity (humans and pets) about the same as common household salt!"

Dry rot ( Serpula lacrymans) is considered difficult to remove, requiring drastic action. Remedial timber treatment and damp proofing companies typically recommend stripping out of building fabric beyond the visible extent of the infestation and the use of fungicide. More holistic approaches attempt to eradicate dry rot by controlling the local environment to reduce timber moisture levels and increase ventilation in order to promote drying. The first priority when treating dry rot is to find and remove the dampness within the building that caused the outbreak, and to promote drying out by taking measures, such as increasing ventilation. Treatment approaches differ after these steps are taken.

These associations are obligatory ones in which neither organisms can survive in nature if the two organisms are separated. However, in the strict sense of this term, as it was proposed by de Barry in 1879, symbiotic relationships include a wide range of associations: Phoresy: A loose association where a usually, smaller organism is using a larger one as a transport host. Normally used in references to arthropods and fishes. An example of the latter is the remora (Fig. 1). Fig. 1: The remora is a one of several species of marine fishes that have sucking disks with which they attach themselves to sharks, whales, sea turtles, or the hulls of ships. Commensalism: An association in which one species, usually the smaller, benefits from the association while the other species seems to be unaffected.

"text": "Justification of Incubation Conditions Used for Environmental Monitoring Posted: April 1, 2014Jeanne Moldenhauer, Ph. D. Excellent Pharma Consulting Introduction Recently, a number of different documents have been making statements similar to “incubation conditions and media used must be justified”. Many companies were able to cite USP <1116> as a rationale for using two different incubation conditions including 20°C-25°C and 30°C-35°C. However, the most recent revision to USP states: “Time and incubation temperatures are set once the appropriate media have been selected. Typically, for general microbiological growth media such as SCDM, incubation temperatures in the ranges of approximately 20°C–35°C have been used with an incubation time of not less than 72 hours.” [ 1]. With a 15°C range in temperature, it is not likely that a single study will provide adequate data to justify the incubation conditions use. As such, companies need to generate data to support the incubation conditions utilized. Background For many years, pharmaceutical companies have used two different media for conducting monitoring of the environment. One of the media was designed for the recovery of bacteria and the other was chosen to isolate fungi (mold and yeast). Typically the bacterial media was incubated at 30°C-35°C for a set number of days and the fungal media was incubated at 20°C-25°C for a specified number of days."

However, all of these manifestations are formed of the same basic fungal unit, the hypha (plural: hyphae ). Hyphae are long tubular structures resembling garden hoses. They have rigid cell walls that may be reinforced by perforated cross-walls called septa (singular: septum ). Hyphae perform a variety of functions in fungi. They contain the cytoplasm or cell sap, including the nuclei containing genetic material. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the thallus (fungus body). Finally, they may become bound together or modified to form more complex structures. The vast majority of fungi produce hyphae and only a much smaller number, the yeasts live without.

"text": "\"Science Biology Q: What kingdoms do lichen belong to? A: Quick Answer Lichens may belong to one, two, or all three of the following kingdoms: Fungi, Protista and Monera. Lichens are groups of multiple organisms, which may occur in the forms of fungi, protists and monerans. Although they share the classification of lichens, species vary widely in habitat, appearance and physical and biological characteristics depending on which kingdom they belong.

Full Answer Lichens belonging to the kingdom Fungi have the ability to reproduce asexually and produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Fungal lichens may appear as mushrooms and other fungi on the outside, but contain lichen characteristics on the inside. Some lichen take the form of algae cells; these organisms belong to the kingdom Protista while other lichens are comprised of cyanobacteria and, as such, fall into the kingdom Monera."

"text": "\"Saprophytes are living organisms that feed on dead organic matter. They are considered extremely important in soil biology, as they break down dead and decaying organic matter into simple substances that can be taken up and recycled by plants. The term is usually used to refer to saprophytic fungi or bacteria. In the strict botanical definition, the term \"\" saprophyte \"\" is something of a misnomer. \"\" Phyte\"\" means a plant, and bacteria and fungi are not classified as plants. Some higher plants such as certain types of orchids and a family of flowering plants called monotropes were once included in this category, because they do not use photosynthesis to make nutrients, so it was believed that they extracted nutrients from dead organic matter. It is now known that these types of plants are actually parasites that obtain their food by growing on living fungi. As such, there are no known true saprophytic plants. Saprophytes are characterized by their use of a particular kind of digestion mechanism, called extra-cellular digestion. This process involves the secretion of digestive substances into the surrounding environment, where they break down organic matter into simple substances."

A: Quick Answer The eating habits of Gambel's quail chicks are quite different from those of adults, with young birds relying upon insects for most of their daily caloric needs. As the chicks age, they gradually incorporate more and more plant matter into their diets. Continue Reading Keep Learning What do blue herons eat? What do wild quail eat? Why do birds build nests? Full Answer Fully grown Gambel's quails subsist upon a diet that is 90 percent vegetarian. Insects remain in their diet as a supplement, especially during nesting season when their caloric needs are greater. However, the adult birds mostly consume seeds and some foliage, with fruit from cacti being incorporated whenever it is in season. Both adults and chicks require little free water, getting most of their moisture from food."

"text": "The familiar chuck-chuck-chuck of quail hiding in the weeds and scrub along the edges of a housing development remind us that nature is never far away. With 130 species scattered around the globe, the ground-dwelling small birds live on every continent except Antarctica. While quail will live next to humans if they must, they prefer tall grasses and scrub on hillsides and brush-filled canyons for their nests. The Nest Most quail species, such as the California quail (Callipepla californica), bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) scratch out hidden hollows in the ground under tall grasses or low-growing brush, against a tree trunk or near rock formations. California quail and Gambel's quail (Callipepla gambelii) will also build a nest in a shrub or tree if a secure platform is available. Lined with grasses, leaves and feathers, the nests are usually 5 to 7 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 to 3 inches deep. Pairing Up From September until April, quail flock together in coveys. In spring, mating rituals begin, and in April, May and June, the birds build nests and lay their eggs. An average clutch is 10 to 16 eggs, although some species may lay up to 28 small, speckled eggs. The eggs hatch in 21 to 23 days."

They are named after American naturalist William Gambel and are commonly found near sources of water in far west Texas, notably the Trans-Pecos ecoregion. Vocalizations The Gambel’s Quail has many different vocalizations for different circumstances. Their most notable call is a loud three note “ka-KAA-ka” and is used as an assembly call or to locate other quail in the area. Kow ”and“ whit whit calls are used by courting males to attract females. They also are known to use various clucking noises and grunts to communicate between individuals. An alarming “chip-chip-chip” is issued to the covey when danger is near. Physical Attributes Gambel’s Quail can be easily identified, when compared to the other Texas quail species, by a prominent teardrop-shaped, black plume on their heads. Both male and female Gambel’s quail have gray breasts and upperparts with white-streaked, chestnut sides. Males can be identified by their black face and forehead and rusty crown bordered by a white line at its base."

"text": "Feeding Quail Claire Lawrence 13th February 2009 General Quail Q uail are popular birds to keep for their delicious eggs. They will usually come into lay at approximately 8-12 weeks of age. Really productive strains of Japanese or Coturnix quail as they are sometimes called can lay up to 300 eggs in a year, but for this level of egg production they do require the correct quail feed as well as some additional light over the dark winter months. Quail do not over-eat so can be fed ad-lib as with other poultry however if you feed them with a quail seed / pellet mix, make sure you use a hopper with ‘anti-spill fingers’ because they can waste a lot of it by flicking it out onto the floor as they search for their favourite seeds in the mix. It goes without saying that quail should have access to clean fresh water at all times. Great care needs to be taken with the chicks to ensure that they cannot fall into the water and many quail keepers recommend placing small pebbles or marbles in a shallow water container not only to attract them to the water source but to enable them to get out again should they fall in. What to feed quail Quail should be started on a crumb. A non-medicated turkey starter crumb is ideal since it is higher in protein than chick crumb. At about 5-6 weeks of age the quail can be gradually changed onto a grower/finisher ration, again a turkey feed should provide the correct protein levels. Quail being raised for the table can remain on the grower/finisher ration until they reach their killing weight if that is their destiny but quail being kept for their eggs and breeding will require a breeders ration of 18-20% protein, which should be gradually introduced before the birds are expected to come into lay around 10 weeks of age."

They won't need food just after they have hatched, so don't bother putting any in the incubator. You will need some sort of brooder to gradually acclimatise them (I've seen some people use a simple box with a light bulb."

However, there is no need to worry as this problem can easily be taken care of if you give your quails the proper care they need. Steps1 Figure out if you have female or male quails. Like any other bird, only the female lays the eggs. It’s easy to tell a quail's gender and there is more than one way. Observe their behaviour. Male quails tend to be more aggressive than females. Look at their feathers. Most male quails will have brighter feathers around their neck, head and back whilst females will have more plain colours.2 If your quails are new, give them time to settle in. Quails can get stressed from all the new surroundings and from the long move."

Answered Sep 23, 2015Quails will be ready to eat whatever they find about a day after they hatch (as they will continue to live off what they extract from their egg). They need a well-protected place to nest at night on the floor. They need access to fresh water (not deep) at all times, they will eat finch seed mix, mashed egg yolk, you can cut up greens, romaine lettuce, chopped broccoli, anything fresh they can get their beaks into and/or tear up with their feet. Extremely skittish, yes, they can fly but mostly only straight up, they coast down for a long way (from you). They love to be outdoors. They can run very fast. Many breeds make a loud noise that may be annoying to you or others.

"text": "PART VIII: Species Management BOBWHITE QUAILM ichigan is on the northern fringe of the bobwhite quail’s range. Creatures of the edge, bobwhites prefer grasslands and early successional habitats containing brush and young trees. They also require a good amount of cropland as a food source. Good habitat provides a mix of quality nesting and brood areas, winter shelter, and a year-round food source. Populations often fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, with the severity of winter. Southern Michigan landowners with 20 or more acres and who provide the right mix of habitat can expect to enjoy bobwhite quail on their property. They are relatively inconspicuous birds, spending most of their life in concealing cover. However, they can often be heard as their song is a distinct whistle which seems to say “bob-WHITE”. Habitat developed for quail will also be of value to rabbits, cardinals, towhees, brown thrashers, eastern bluebirds, field and song sparrows, and many other grassland and shrub-inhabiting songbirds . Life Cycle The hen locates her nest along field edges, brushy fencerows, and old fields with weeds and grasses."

You can read both articles to learn about the debate regarding rabbit meat. The comments left by readers also contain a wealth of information. Thank you for reading. I was under the impression that raising rabbits for meat was a great way to supplement my family with organic meat, especially during a time of crisis where food may be in short supply. Turns out I wasn’t exactly right. The other day I was checking for rabbit recipes in my Nourishing Traditions cookbook and low and behold, there were none. So, I checked the index to see if rabbit was mentioned anywhere in the book and it was: Turns out rabbit meat is so lean that if a person ate it exclusively they could develop something called “fat-hunger” also known as “rabbit starvation."

Species Information Bighorn Sheep Overview: Historically desert bighorn sheep occupied many of the mountain ranges around the greater Phoenix area. Most of the sheep disappeared at the turn of the century with the arrival of settlers and livestock. In 1980/81, The Arizona Game and Fish Department successfully transplanted approximately 30 desert bighorn sheep into Unit 22 in the Goat Mountain area north of Apache Lake. Today, the bighorn sheep range in a relatively narrow strip of habitat from roughly Goat Mountain at Apache Lake, westerly to Stewart Mountain just west of Saguaro Lake. There are also a few remaining desert bighorn sheep scattered east of Bartlett Lake from a transplant that did not fare well near Lion Mountain. In 1986, the first bighorn sheep permit was authorized for this newly transported heard. 1993 authorized three permits, plus the auction tag for a total of 4 permits. The population peaked in 1994 and appears to be in a decline possibly due to disease."

The Northern Bobwhite Quail is found in all but the western third of the state, and the scaled or “blue” quail is found in the western half. The Montezuma and Gambel’s quail are much less common and are found in only a few areas due to their specific habitat needs. The bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) is one of the most easily recognized wildlife species in Texas. The familiar “poor-bob-white” whistle of the male bobwhite can be heard during the spring and summer over most of the state. However, few Texans realize the tremendous impact this species has on our state. Recent data confirm that there are more than 175,000 quail hunters and an additional 400,000 people actually participating in watching, feeding, or photographing quail in Texas each year. Quail populations have declined across the state over the past few decades. While this is bad news for the quail, and quail enthusiasts, it is part of a larger picture.

How do they survive winter? They don’t actually go anywhere. Quails are well adapted to surviving the winter. In the wintertime, they have lots of feathers, which trap air and insulate them against the cold. They also move around in groups called coveys and during storms or at night, they cuddle close together to conserve body heat. The primary movement is to lower elevations and this is only so they can get to the seeds that make up the bulk of their diets. If they remained in higher elevations where snow gets very deep, they could have difficulty getting to the seeds. In fact, some types of quail, like valley quail, stay at lower elevations all year long.850 Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Philip Ershler Related Questions More Answers Below How many winters can one survive without going crazy?

Other foods ought to be offered in combination just to make sure snake gets what it needs. What Do Garter Snakes Eat In the Wild Garter snakes are carnivorous. In the wild they will eat leeches, crickets, fish, snails, slugs, earthworms, mice, lizards, amphibians, minnows, rodents, frog eggs, and toads. Frogs include Pacific tree frogs, Red-legged frogs, and Western toads. While few snakes consume newts and salamanders others find it hard to digest.

Originally, most people accepted myths as being true explanations of things they experienced. More recently, however, people question things in terms of historical and scientific accuracy. As a result, we find many, but not all myths to be false. Today, a myth generally is thought of as a fiction, or at best a half-truth. Still, in many cases we can see how a myth got its start."

"text": "\"Pets Reptiles What kind of habitat do garden snakes live in?i have to get a lot of info for garden snakes Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Garden snakes are also called garter snakes. A garter snake is any species of North American snake within the genus Thamnophis. Garter snakes are extremely common all across North America, Canada and to Central America. They are an everyday find in gardens. They are the single most widely distributed species of reptile in North America, and in fact, the common garter snake, T. sirtalis, is the only species of snake to be found in Alaska. It is also one of the northernmost species of snake in the world, possibly second only to the Crossed Viper, Vipera berus. The genus is so far ranging due to its unparticular diet and adaptability to different biomes and landforms, from marshes to hillsides to drainage ditches and even vacant lots, in both dry and wet regions, with varying proximity to water and rivers. However, in the western part of North America of the continent these snakes are more water-loving than on the eastern portion. Northern populations hibernate in larger groups than southern ones. Despite the decline in their population from collection as pets (especially in the more northerly regions in which large groups are collected at hibernation), pollution of aquatic areas, and introduction of bullfrogs and bass as predators, this is still a very commonly found snake."

He and his brother are curious and friendly (albeit very ravenous: they’ll bite your fingers, though it’s not personal; they’re just hungry), but they’re just not very smart. By no means is that the first time I’ve seen one of my snakes bite itself. Normally it’s something I associate with Common Kingsnakes ( Lampropeltis getula ); I recall seeing both California and Speckled Kingsnakes chew on themselves. Apparently it’s more than a kingsnake thing. Last week, though, I was summoned to answer a question on Ask Meta Filter from someone whose son’s California Kingsnake chewed on its own tail on more than one occasion. You can read my answer there; I’m going to flesh it out a bit more (and organize it a bit better) here. To understand why some snakes might bite themselves, you have to keep the following three points in mind: Snakes aren’t very smart (and kingsnakes aren’t very smart even by snake standards). Some snakes freak the fuck out when eating. Snakes are never hungrier than just after they’ve eaten."

"text": "A gastrologist is a physician who studies and treats disorders related to the gastric tract. More simply put, a gastrologist is a stomach doctor. Gastrologists work in both the office and the hospital to treat a number of stomach diseases. Skill sets like multi-tasking, personality traits like resilience, and a commitment to receiving the necessary education are essential. A large part of a gastrologists’s role in treating stomach diseases is exploratory. A typical appointment might include activities like gathering medical background and symptomatic information. Gastrologists also schedule and perform gastrological tests like endoscopies. Once a probable cause for the patient’s problem has been uncovered, a wide range of treatments can begin. A gastrologist may prescribe medications, recommend surgical procedures, or advise about diet and other lifestyle changes. While gastrology is focused on stomach ailments, this profession may also branch into gastroenterology, which covers the intestinal tract as well as the esophagus."

"text": "Can Excessive Burping Mean Cancer? Believe it or not, frequent burping can be causedby several different cancers.————————————————–A symptom as seemingly harmless as burping can actually be a sign of cancer. “Cancer can affect motility of the GI tract, increasing gas and belching either directly by invading the stomach, or by distal and hormonal effects affecting the motility of the upper GI tract,” says Dr. Maxwell Chait, MD, gastroenterologist at Columbia Doctors Medical Group in Westchester County, NY. What cancers can lead to excessive burping?“Cancers of the organs adjacent to the stomach such as stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, cancer of the liver and biliary tract and pancreas cancer all can do this,” says Dr. Chait. “GERD is one of the most common causes of belching (burping) in the U. S. as well as Western Europe,” adds Dr. Chait. GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. “It is associated with a condition called Barrett’s esophagus. This is a premalignant disorder of the lower esophagus that is associated with cancer of the esophagus. “This is one the fastest growing cancer by incidence in the U. S. Remarkably its highest incidence is in older white males. ”In other words, if you’ve been diagnosed with GERD, it’s absolutely mandatory that you take this seriously and don’t dismiss it as some harmless condition just because you’ve seen goofy TV commercials about “acid reflux."

A multivitamin is one of the most commonly used nutritional supplement in the U. S., but few realize how valuable it can be for managing chronic liver disease. Taking a multivitamin to help support the liver’s well-being is an obvious choice. However, there are some potential vitamin hazards to avoid. Because they can be instrumental in preventing liver disease progression and complications, living healthfully with chronic liver disease typically involves taking a multivitamin. Nonetheless, those affected will benefit most when they choose their multivitamin wisely. Cellular Oxidation Oxidative damage is a frequent cause of liver cell injury, a definitive pathway to the worsening of chronic liver disease. Known as cellular oxidation, this is a natural process where free radicals break down organic tissue. Without adequate levels of antioxidants in the body, free radicals can damage liver cells. Free radicals can be generated from:• normal metabolic processes • sunlight • pollution • toxins • stress • disease In someone with chronic liver disease, excessive amounts of free radicals contribute to liver scarring and the liver’s subsequent functional decline."

A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience.

The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 added prescription drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries and is known as Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D offers prescription drug coverage through Medicare. A Medicare Part D eligible individual is one who is entitled to or enrolled in Medicare benefits under Part A and/or Part B. Who are dual eligibles? Dual eligibles are people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. How are dual eligible enrollees affected by the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program (PDP)? Dual eligibles receive their prescription drug coverage through Medicare rather than through the Medicaid program. Medicare Part D replaces Medicaid as the pharmacy coverage for dual eligible enrollees. What happens if an enrollee has insurance coverage through their employer or union along with Medicare and Medicaid? If enrollees do not participate in a Medicare prescription drug plan, they may lose all their Medicaid benefits. However, some people on Medicare and Medicaid may receive a letter from their employer or union stating that if they enroll in Medicare Part D they will lose the health care benefits provided by the union or employer."

Car insurance is a contract whereby, in exchange for a premium, your insurer agrees to pay for damage or losses defined in your insurance policy. Comprehensive car insurance, for example, covers the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle due to loss or damage caused by insured events like accidents and theft; and your liability for damage your vehicle causes to someone else’s property (e.g. their car and home). What are the different types of car insurance? Budget Direct offers four types of car insurance: Comprehensive, which covers loss or damage to your vehicle due to an accident (regardless of who’s at fault), severe weather, fire, vandalism, and theft; and damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property for which you are liable (e.g. their car and home). Third Party Property, which covers damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property for which you are liable (e.g. their car and home). It does not cover damage to your vehicle (unless it’s damaged in a no-fault accident with an uninsured driver, in which case your car has limited cover). Third Party, Fire and Theft, which provides the same protection as Third Party Property plus cover for loss or damage to your vehicle if it’s stolen or catches fire – but not if it’s damaged in a crash. Compulsory Third Party (CTP), which covers claims made against you for injuring or killing someone in an accident."

This means that a lot of a geckos day is spent hunting for food. Geckos eat insects mainly due to their abundance. They like to eat crickets mostly but will generally eat anything they can catch. It is very important to ensure the crickets are not too big for your pet to handle, never feed a gecko a cricket that is larger than its head in size. Geckos when in captive will also eat meal worms and wax worms. Wax worms should be given as a treat maybe 3 worms per week at most. Baby geckos will eat fruit flies."

Some commercially produced foods sold for geckos contain the same nutritional content that geckos in the wild can eat. For geckos, variety isn't just the spice of life: It's food for life. Wild Eating Habits In the wild, geckos eat anything that is small enough for them to overpower or capture and consume. Insects such as crickets and grasshoppers are their mainstay dietary choice in their native unrestricted environment. Geckos will also consume arthropods such as spiders, centipedes and small scorpions. Small rodents -- particularly young still in the nest -- are also on their list of prey. They even have cannibalistic tastes: They will eat hatchling geckos. Feeding in Captivity Exact duplication of a wild diet in a captive setting is not a likely option. However, providing a variety of food choices such as crickets, mealworms, silkworms, waxworms and locusts goes a long way toward giving geckos the nutritional variety they require to remain healthy."

In order to give your gecko the home they need, you need to get them a vivarium that has plenty of places for them to hide away, as well as ornaments to keep them occupied and things for them to climb. One of the areas inside the enclosure will also need to be moist, which helps your pet out when it’s time to shed their skin. Leopard geckos are what’s known as crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk, and they need a heated area within their enclosure so that they can keep themselves at a comfortable temperature. Using a thermometer, make sure that the heated area stays at around 28-32ºC, and that the other end of the vivarium is around 20ºC. They don’t need quite as much warmth at night, so you can keep things a few degrees cooler at each end."

Day geckos are actually a common name of a group of over 60 species of small lizards that vary in size, appearance, and behaviors. Popular pet day geckos include the giant day gecko that is recorded to live up to 20 years but more commonly lives six to eight years in captivity. What Species of Day Gecko Makes a Good Pet? Day geckos in general are not good geckos for beginner reptile keepers but for those with limited reptile experience who want to venture into the day gecko realm should research giant day geckos, gold dust day geckos, or lined day geckos. Day Gecko Behavior Surprise! Day geckos are active during the day unlike many other lizards. They are generally pretty fragile and it is not a good idea to handle them since their skin is quite delicate. They also can be somewhat territorial and therefore need to be housed alone."

Answered Jan 31, 2018 · Author has 5.3k answers and 16.2m answer views House geckos are beneficial animals that eat pest insects. So, first decide whether you’d rather have house geckos, or roaches, spiders, etc. Choose one. If you’ve decided you really don’t want house geckos, the best you can do is make sure your foundations don’t have any gaps. Windows, doors, etc, also shouldn’t have any gaps that a lizard can sneak through. If you install some metal flashing around your door frames, you may be able to prevent lizards from quickly sidling over the edge when you open the door, or you could install a double-entry system that will enable you to collect them before they get into the actual house. Lizards don’t care about repellents. They’re interested in bugs and hiding places, not weird smells. Poisoning them will do your health more harm than they will (plus, it’s mean — these are surprisingly intelligent vertebrate animals, fully capable of feeling pain and distress)."

"text": "\"What Type of Fruit Do Chameleons Eat? By Amy S. Jorgensen Chameleons are insectivores so their primary diet consists of insects. In fact, most chameleons in captivity will be content with a mixture of insects allowed to run free in their enclosure so they can have a snack whenever they want. Even though chameleons may not eat fruit themselves, feeding fruit to their prey can be helpful in preventing captive chameleons from developing a vitamin A deficiency. Normal Diet for Chameleons The bulk of a captive chameleon’s diet will be crickets and mealworms because they are the easiest to obtain from pet food stores. However, chameleons get bored eating the same meals daily, so adding some variety keeps them interested in eating. That variety can include live flies, roaches, grasshoppers and spiders. Depending on the chameleon species, the diet can also be spiced up with snails or slugs or even baby mice. The Role of Fruit for Chameleons In the wild, chameleons do not suffer from vitamin A deficiency because their prey is full of this important nutrient. Crickets and other feeder insects purchased from commercial providers may not be rich in vitamin A because their own diets have been lackluster."

Because of this, it is up to the owner to make sure their enclosure mimics their natural habitat. Table of Contents Tanks Tank Covers Tank Size Lighting Humidity Temperature Substrate Hides Accessories Leopard Gecko Tanks View More About This Tank Since leopard geckos are ground animals and rarely climb, the tank will need to be long and wide (not tall and narrow). You will need to make sure that your gecko cannot easily climb out of the tank, so a tank with glass sides would be a good choice since leopard geckos cannot climb glass. Most leopard gecko owners recommend rectangle glass fish tanks/aquariums since they are easy to get and meet all the requirements. Do not use wire or mesh cages for your leopard geckos. Wire cages will not hold heat very well, are easy to escape from, and you risk your leopard gecko getting his/her foot or toes stuck in the wire. Tank Covers and Lids More About This Lid You will need to cover your tank with a wire/mesh lid. This lid will help to keep unwanted insects, pets, or children from getting into the tank and it will also support the lights for your leopard gecko.

Allele is defined, in simple terms, variation of a given gene, e.g. through deletions, SNPs etc. Humans are diploid organisms, meaning we have two sets of chromosomes, one from mother and one from father. Now since we have two sister chromosome, we can only have (share) two alleles of a given gene (one from mother and one from father) unless there are multiple copies of a gene or chromosome, which is mostly observed in disease conditions but that's not what we are talking about. Now since every humans have SNPs at roughly 1 every 1000 base pair, there are genetic variations between sequences of genes between humans, although there are some hot spots, which are more varied and some genes are very highly conserved due to their critical function such as cytochrome C. This just means that parents of the child you are describing (if not related to each other) are not likely to share the exact same, sequence wise, genetic code for a given gene selected at random. The inheritance of a given allele of a gene on a chromosome happens through independent assortment (a process which happens maternally and paternally), meaning a child (offspring/zygote) would get one copy of a gene/allele (from the possible two that each parent themselves have) from maternal and one copy from paternal side at random."

The first part of that statement is correct; it is reductive, and is therefore lacking those qualities that are necessary for properly understanding a “big-picture” process such as evolution. The second part of the statement is not correct. Gene-centrism did not develop as an explanation of evolution; it began as, and has remained a political movement within evolutionary biology, the goal of which is to destroy group selection as a credible evolutionary process. I refer to it as a political movement because it presented not an evolutionary view, but a world view, as John Maynard Smith admitted in his review of The Selfish Gene. And of course, the publication of The Selfish Gene was the opening salvo in the war against group selection that swept all before it with extraordinary success. But, in a beautifully ironic twist, a movement based on selfish genes could not stand up to scrutiny once the initial excitement died down, and so we have witnessed the evolution of the movement itself, from the fantasies of selfish genery to the supposedly more rational gene-centrism. So is it more rational? Barely. The movement is still having to contend with group selection after all these years, so they are attempting to cage group selection, to tether it within the limits of a gene-centric framework."

All humans (excluding genetic disorders) have the same genes, but not everyone has exactly the same code - there are tiny differences between individuals, and these are manifested in the different traits you can observe between people (eye colour, height, etc). So you therefore have 100% of the genes that your mother has. However, as stated in the first answer, you inherit the different 'alleles', or versions, of the genes from your parents, and end up with ~50% of the alleles from each parents (but all the genes). With regard to species differences; many of the genes we inherit have evolved over millions (in fact billions) of years, and thus many of our genes are present in most other organisms (but in very different forms - the DNA). Chimpanzees are our closest relatives in evolutionary terms, and thus their genes are very similar to ours in the genome (~98% the same)."

A gene is segment of DNA which can code for a single protein, polypeptide or more than one polypeptide. But the DNA is typically too long to accomodate in a cell. Hence it needs to be coiled, supercoiled! The supercoiling of DNA leads to the formation of chromatin material (in eukaryotes) with the help of different protiens. At the time of cell division this chromatin condemses further to give rise chromosomes for duplication and segregation. Hence there is a great lot of diffenrence between chromosome and gene, but technically they are both DNA!11k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

DNA is formed by nucleotides (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine). Every 3 of these bases (along the whole DNA strand), codify for a aminoacid, and several aminoacids form proteins. Several proteins determine a feature. In human genetics, everything except blood type (A, B, AB or 0) is determined by more than one gene. a gene codes for a polypeptide. however recent research shows that a gene doesn't always code for a protein and a gene can result in more than one polypeptide."

Although the more traditional treatments of this disease are adequate, is there something else that could be even better? Gene therapy is fast becoming one of the more studied aspects of genetics today. Let's take a look at some details of Cystic Fibrosis and gene therapy. Technical Aspects Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United States today. CF is an autosomal recessive disease that occurs approximately one out of 3,300 live births (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 1998). Autosomal means that the gene for CF is not carried on the sex chromosomes and males and females are both afflicted by this disease. Recessive inheritance is when both parents \"\"carry\"\" the abnormal gene in their DNA but they themselves do not show evidence of the disease. The mother and father have one normal gene and one abnormal gene and don't show signs of disease because the normal gene dominates the abnormal gene. To have CF, a child must inherit two abnormal genes, one from each parent."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics Genetic Engineering Genetic Cloning What is the purpose of an ampicillin resistance gene in cloning? Flag What is the purpose of an ampicillin resistance gene in cloning? Answer by Acid36 Confidence votes 6.1KThe ampicillin resistance gene (Amp R) is called a selectable marker gene and is incorporated into several plasmids that are commonly used in a wide range of genetic engineering and molecular biology experiments. The function of a selectable marker gene is to provide the host containing the plasmid a certain property that is not inherently present in the host. For example, the Amp R gene codes for a protein that makes cells containing this gene resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin. Therefore, when plasmids are successfully transfected into bacterilal cultures, one can assess which colonies have taken up the plasmid by looking at which ones survive on ampicillin-containing media. Those that do not survive do not have the plasmid. The surviving colonies can then be picked up and carried on to the next stage of experimental research.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

Flag How can the environment influence gene expression? Answer by Divya G Confidence votes 26There are several examples where environment influences gene expression.. For example, the freguency of an albino being born is 1 in 20,000, but in Hopi village for example, the frequency is 1 in 200. This is because they favour the trait by having consanguinous marriages often and hence the frequency increases. In another example, two flowers may have the same genetic make-up, but one may be blue and one maybe pink due to the difference in p H they can tolerate. The blue flower maybe blue due to low p H and the pink flower maybe pink due to high p H. The most common example however is when two monozygous twins (twins having the same genetic make up and also the same features) live in different environments, there will be remarkable difference in the two and you can tell just by looking at them. Thus, it is now only genes that decide how we look and act but also the environment that plays an equally important role in determining gene expression.

The book was an immediate and stunning success, receiving the William Faulkner Foundation Award and the Rosenthal Award of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. But John Knowles had begun writing seriously a decade before the success of A Separate Peace enabled him to abandon full-time employment. He was assistant editor for the Yale Alumni Magazine where he'd attended college, he worked as a reporter and drama critic for the Hartford Courant, and then he wrote his first novel, Descent into Proselito, while living in Italy and France. That novel was never published; his friend and teacher, the playwright Thornton Wilder, felt it was not good enough. Knowles was born in Fairmont, West Virginia, on September 16, 1926, the third of four children. At age fifteen, during World War II, he went away to boarding school, the Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. The pressures of this environment at such a dire and impressionable time laid the foundation for A Separate Peace--and, even before that novel, for a short story called \"\"Phineas,\"\" which takes us through the events of the first half of the novel. Like so many writers before and since, John Knowles found his way to New York City, renting an apartment in the Hell's Kitchen area of the West Side, where he applied himself rigorously to his craft in the mid-1950s. Determined to make a name for himself, he busily turned out drama reviews, short stories, and freelance articles."

Content Introduction Nick Skillicorn David Burkus Stephen Shapiro Pete Foley Gijs van Wulfen Kevin Mc Farthing Robert Brands Paul Hobcraft Mike Shipulski Paul Sloane Jeffrey Baumgartner Stefan Lindegaard Drew Boyd Michael Graber Jorge Barba Analysis of all the definitions The ultimate definition of innovation Introduction Innovation is truly a confusing buzzword which many people love to hate. Every business leader agrees that it is important. But nobody can quite seem to agree on what it actually is or what it means. If you ask Google for an innovation definition, it is less than helpful, coming up with over 300 million results with thousands of definitions. Its own definition is pretty much useless: “the action or process of innovating”. Using the traditional sources for a definition such as the Oxford dictionary also doesn’t help much, with their answer being “Make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products”So I contacted a selection of my fellow innovation experts to see how they talk about innovation with their clients, and compiled the results for you here. I asked them all: What is your definition of “innovation”? What mistake do companies often make when they talk about innovation?"

"text": "02.04.13 innovation engine The 5 Questions Every Company Should Ask Itself In interviewing some of the biggest innovation experts, including Clayton Christensen and Eric Ries, Warren Berger found that asking the right questions can be more challenging than finding answers. By Warren Berger 8 minute Read“One does not begin with answers,” the legendary business consultant Peter Drucker once said. “ One begins by asking, ‘What are our questions?’”The notion that questions may at times be more valuable to a business than answers is counterintuitive. But in my research into the value of inquiry, I’m finding a growing number of today’s leading business consultants share Drucker’s view on the critical importance of getting company leaders to focus on asking the right questions. “ It’s the number one thing I spend my time thinking about these days,” says Dev Patnaik of design firm Jump Associates. Eric Ries, meanwhile, finds that as he trains companies in Lean Startup methodology, one of his biggest challenges is getting his clients to “acknowledge uncertainty and ask the seemingly dumb questions.” According to Keith Yamashita of design consultancy SYPartners, “In business, our ability to ask questions is an opportunity to reframe the challenges in front of us. ”But as Yamashita notes, that can only happen if business leaders are willing to question boldly. He says we’re coming off an era of “small-minded questions” geared to efficiency: How can we do it faster, cheaper, where can we cut? “ But in order to innovate today,” Yamashita maintains, “companies must ask more expansive questions."

"text": "It’s great you’re thinking about how to have healthy 1:1 conversations. They’re a cornerstone to any effective manager <-> team member relationship from small startups to giant companies. It’s why Andy Grove, legendary founder of Intel and author of High Output Management, said this: Over the last few years I’ve spoken to hundreds of managers, and making the most of these meetings is one of the biggest differences between good, effective leaders, and bad, frustrating managers. It’s why the company I helped found, Lighthouse, is built to help you with them. So what should you talk about? There are a variety of topics you can cover in your 1:1s. Most are things you would rarely, if ever, get a chance to talk about otherwise, but can have a huge impact on your team's morale and engagement. Even better, because you’re having them in a private setting with a decent amount of time (hopefully 60 minutes, but at least 30), you can dig into their responses and really explore their answers, ideas, frustrations, and feedback by asking good followup questions. For each of these key topics to cover in your 1:1s, there are different questions that are best to ask to foster a great conversation. Those categories include:1) Building rapport & trust2) Talking about career development3) Getting feedback from them about you4) Talking about ways to improve your team or the company as a whole5) Checking in on their general happiness Finally, there are also a couple questions you should ask every time to make sure these are good, productive conversations going forward."

However, most network marketing companies will only register to do business as a foreign corporation doing business in those states in which they have a physical presence, such as having manufacturing facilities, warehouses, offices, or employees. The corporate laws of most states provide that a company is not “doing business in the state” merely because it sells through independent distributors in that state. MLM companies with tangible personal property sales register to collect and remit sales and use tax. Services are generally not taxed, but more states are proceeding in this area. Your CPA will be able to track rates, classifications, and applicability, as well as handle registrations.

It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes (710 short tons). It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The single example built has the Ukrainian civil registration UR-82060. A second airframe with a slightly different configuration [1] was partially built. Its construction was halted in 1994 [1] because of lack of funding and interest, but revived briefly in 2009, bringing it to 60–70% completion. [ 2] On 30 August 2016, Antonov agreed to complete the second airframe for Aerospace Industry Corporation of China (not to be confused with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China) as a prelude to AICC commencing series production. [ 3]The Antonov An-225, initially developed for the task of transporting the Buran spaceplane, was an enlargement of the successful Antonov An-124. The first and only An-225 was completed in 1988.

Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design/Flickr• Finding questions to ask your interviewer is a crucial part of preparing for any job interview.• Asking questions is a simple way to show that you're truly interested in the role and the company.• Business Insider compiled a number of smart questions that are sure to impress your next interviewer. Thinking up questions to ask during job interviews is key. Remember, every interview is a two-way street. You should be interviewing the employer just as much as they're interviewing you. You both need to walk away convinced that the job would be a great fit. So when the tables are turned and the interviewer asks, \"\"Do you have any questions for me?\"\" take advantage of this opportunity. It's the best way to determine if you'd be happy working for this employer, and whether your goals are aligned with theirs. Plus, asking questions is a simple way to convey your enthusiasm for the role and the organization that you're looking to join."

"text": "What is a Gerontologist Gerontologists are health care professionals who specialize in the field of aging related dimensions of change over the lifespan. They provide their services to people in universities, hospitals, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, and the community. There are several different types of gerontologists. Research gerontologists conduct research on the aging process (physiological and psychological) and the living environments of older persons in an effort to understand and enrich the lives of elders. Applied gerontologists work directly with older persons, communicating with and analyzing individuals, families, and groups. Administrative gerontologists use their training and management skills to develop programs and coordinate services that are necessary for services to run smoothly. These professionals may have degrees or training in nursing, exercise physiology, nutrition, pharmacy, psychology, sociology, gerontology, or other social services-related professions. Gerontologists are responsible for educating other health professionals, community practioners, as well as the community at large about the process of aging and how to age well by giving informative presentations, publishing books and articles about aging and health, and producing relevant films and television programs."

By Josh Dean | November 2, 2016Photographs by Olya Ivanova From The only obvious sign this is the office of a cryonics company sits on the windowsill: a stainless-steel vacuum vessel about the size of a lobster pot. It’s meant to transport a human brain, and if used for its true purpose and not as a decoration, it would deliver that brain to a larger storage container filled with liquid nitrogen. The brain would be preserved there—the liquid nitrogen topped off once in a while—for however long the science and technology community takes to solve some vexing problems. First, how to repair the tissue damage caused by freezing. Second, and more important, how to gain access to the data inside—the neurons and connections and impulses that constitute a person’s memories, emotions, and personality—and bring it all back to life, either in another, healthier body or uploaded into a computer. Otherwise, the office looks like a small apartment, and it is also that. It’s the pied-a-terre of Danila Medvedev and Valerija Pride, life partners and co-founders of Moscow-based Krio Rus, as well as a crash pad for eager young transhumanists who need a place to stay while working on projects intended to expedite the quest for immortality.

"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”."

"text": "\"Journal of Aging Studies Volume 36, January 2016, Pages 59-70No more lock-step retirement: Boomers' shifting meanings of work and retirement Erik Kojola Phyllis Moen Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaging.2015.12.003 Get rights and content Highlights•Boomers are following diverse retirement and work pathways as they move into and out of paid work and take on encore careers.•Retirement decisions are driven by individuals' identities and motivations,as well as policies and cultural scripts.•Boomers desire to have control over their time, whether they are working, volunteering or engaging in leisure activities.•Finances and gendered life courses shape how and when Boomers retire and transition out of paid work. Abstract Standard pathways for work and retirement are being transformed as the large Boomer cohort moves through typical retirement ages during a moment of economic, social and political change. People are delaying retirement and moving into and out of paid work as the standard lock-step retirement becomes less dominant. However, little research has explored how and why Boomers are taking on these diverse pathways in their later careers. Accordingly, we conduct in-depth interviews with working and retired white-collar Boomers, exploring how they are working and the meanings and motivations for their decisions and plans in their later careers. We find that there is no single dominant pattern for retirement, but rather a diverse mix of pathways shaped by occupational identities, finances, health and perceptions of retirement. Boomers express a desire to have control over their time and to find meaning and purpose in either paid or unpaid activities. However, life course transitions, normative cultural scripts, and gender and class locations as well as workplace and social policies constrain their decisions and plans. Previous article Next article Keywords Retirement Aging Boomers Career transitions Encore careers Introduction The social institution of retirement is in flux, as traditional lock-step and linear pathways from full-time work to full-time retirement have been upended by demographic transitions, technological advances, cultural changes, and shifts in the global political economy—all of which are transforming the organization of work, career paths, and retirement exits ( Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2005; Moen & Flood, 2013; Osterman, 1988; Osterman, 1996; Osterman & Shulman, 2011 ). Growing numbers of people are working longer and transitioning into and out of retirement through part-time, bridge and encore jobs ( Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2011; Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2006; Giandrea, Cahill, & Quinn, 2009; Quinn, 2010 )."

This will take some research on your part, because the discipline of gerontology is huge and varied – your options are almost limitless! Ask yourself, “What do I want to do everyday to work with or for the elderly?” If someone has the job you want, ask them about their career path. You can say something like, “What kind of degree did you have to get for this job?” or, “What did you major in?”Few people are a good fit for working with the elderly in the long term. Do some soul searching and determine if you have the patience, stamina and endurance to take up this kind of career. It can be very challenging to deal with death, Alzheimer's and terminal illnesses, but also potentially very rewarding. Think about volunteering in nursing homes or finding a part-time job at one before deciding on this career path. Once you have an idea of what kind of job you’d like to have, start to consider how advanced you want your job to be – this will influence how much school you need to do."

"text": "With both my parents in the hospital, how can I pay their bills?2 answers | Last updated: Dec 08, 2016A fellow caregiver asked... My elderly parents were in a car accident and are now both in the hospital for long-term care. They haven't been home since the accident, and now I have to figure out what bills need paying and how to access their accounts. How do I get started? Expert Answers Barbara Steinberg is the CEO and founder of BLS Eldercare Financial Solutions, which specializes in helping families pay for long-term care for their loved ones. A registered financial gerontologist, she speaks regularly on the topic of paying for long-term care and is a financial expert for Caring.com . If your parents aren't incapacitated, the simplest solution is to have them sign checks and pay their bills from the hospital. ( You may find that they use an automated bill-paying service or have their bills paid automatically online. In that case, you won't need to worry about debts piling up. ) If your parents aren't able to help you with this, your options depend on whether you have a durable power of attorney (DPOA) in place for each of them. Ideally, before the accident occurred, you and your parents saw an attorney together and prepared this legal document, which gives you the ability to access accounts, pay bills, and make financial, legal, and real estate decisions on their behalf."

If you’re planning to pursue a role that could help scientists and doctors better understand aging, as well as improve quality of life for elderly people, gerentology degree programs may be a perfect next step for you!What Is a Gerontologist? ii Gerontologists are medical scientists who study how people change as they age. In simple terms, you can think of gerontology as the study of old people, and the biological factors involved in aging. Gerontologists may conduct studies and clinical trials, analyze medical samples and data, develop medical programs for aging populations, and much more. Perhaps most importantly, gerontologists, and gerontology programs, explore ways to make life better for people as they age. By understanding how the mind and body change as we advance in years, gerontologists may identify solutions for some of the challenges and health problems associated with growing older.

"text": "What Does a Gerontologist Do? As the US population ages, the demand for healthcare tailored to the elderly increases concomitantly. Healthcare practitioners specializing in gerontology, the branch of medical science that deals with diseases and problems specific to the elderly, are the providers who fill that need. Gerontologists help elderly people lead active lives, remain in their homes and receive healthcare that is attuned to their unique requirements. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »While the healthcare system has long treated older people similarly to other adults, research shows that their needs are actually quite distinct. Gerontologists receive advanced clinical training in geriatrics, a field that includes study of the social, psychological and biological aspects of aging. Specialization or certification in gerontology is possible in many disciplines, including internal and family medicine, nursing, social work, pharmacy, physical and occupational therapy, nutrition and dentistry. Gerontologists often care for the same patients over many years, helping them to maintain functioning, contribute to their communities and enjoy the people and activities they love. Because team-based care of the elderly is a growing trend, these professionals also establish close, collegial relationships with healthcare providers from across all disciplines. This gives them the added satisfaction of solving complex problems with collaborative solutions that best serve their patients."

Children typically spend a large amount of times attending school, starting at the age of five or even younger. Besides getting their first tastes the world of academia, children will also experience a number of other first while in school - first friends, first enemies, first loves, and first heartbreaks. It is also in school when children first begin to really learn about their strengths and weaknesses. These sudden changes can be hard to adjust to for some students. Other situations and problems, like family discord and learning disabilities, can also make doing well in school very difficult for some students. School psychology is a branch of psychology that concentrates on students and how to help them make the best of their education. This area of psychology focuses not only on the students' academics, but also social, behavioral, emotional, and personal factors that might also influence their education.

The Favorite – Grandfather and Grandson, by Georgios Jakobides (1890)Grandparents are the parents of a person's father or mother – paternal or maternal.

"text": "\"Even good drivers need a refresher course By Karen Aho, Insure.com - Last updated: April 29, 2014Older drivers are the safest drivers, hands down. But many have been driving so long they've forgotten some of the rules, or haven't changed their driving habits to account for reflexes dulled by age. Safety experts and state regulators feel so strongly about the benefits of classroom refresher courses -- even for those who've never had an accident or racked up a single ticket -- that a majority of states require insurance companies to offer discounts. Even in states where a discount isn't the law, most companies offer a break for defensive driving courses anyway. The AARP Smart Driver Course, launched in 1979 as \"\"55 Alive,\"\" is the largest and most well-known defensive driving course for those of a certain card-carrying age. Last year, more than 560,000 people took it, either online or in a class held at a senior center, car dealership, library or other community space. Most get car insurance discounts in exchange, helpful because car insurance rates start to rise once driver reach 70 or so. The class is four to eight hours long, depending on the state, and includes no tests, either on the road or at a desk. What it does include is a good deal of discussion about aging's effect on seeing, hearing and reacting, and tools to compensate. It reviews road rules most of us haven't visited since high school."

"text": "\"AGEISMThe term ageism refers to a deep and profound prejudice against the elderly (Butler). In simple terms, ageism occurs when people stereotype others based on old age. Ageism occurs throughout society in varying degrees, in television, advertising, movies, stores, hospitals, and jobs. Ageism is a process of stereotyping and discriminating against people because they are old. From a definitional perspective, ageism is like racism or sexism in that it treats people differently based on stereotypes about a group. While most people have a general knowledge or understanding of the history of racism or sexism, their understanding of \"\"ageism\"\" is likely to be limited to jokes about aging, greeting cards, or senior discounts that provide benefits for reaching a certain age. Ageism as a term and as a process to be studied is relatively new, an ironic twist for the study of how society views getting old. Most studies of ageist attitudes tend to focus on its negative aspects. However, ageism can also have a positive perspective, such as when the attributes of age are deemed advantageous. For example, a positive view perceives an association between aging and greater wisdom, patience, and an enhanced appreciation of life's benefits."

Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail Tralee Pearce Published January 24, 2013Updated March 25, 2017A retired cardiologist sits at a table at Toronto's L'Chaim Retirement Home, sorting through cardiograms. He's not volunteering his time helping others, however. Unbeknownst to him, he's working at keeping what memories he has. L'Chaim is using the Montessori Method for Dementia program, a novel approach to combat dementia that has been rolling out in day centres and nursing homes across the country over the last few years. Taking the principles of the Montessori method created for children in the early 20th century and applying them to adults suffering from a range of cognitive diseases, the program is seen as a ray of hope in what is often a heartbreaking reality. More than half a million Canadians are currently affected by dementia, and with an aging population, it is poised to become an even greater concern. The program's relatively simple approach is part of its appeal. As in the case of the doctor, the Montessori Method gets people to do tasks that feel familiar, along with brain-boosting games, discussion groups and a physical environment that's designed to both reassure and stimulate. And it seems to help."

This review examines current non-pharmacological approaches. It highlights the more traditional treatments such as behavioural therapy, reality orientation and validation therapy, and also examines the potential of interesting new alternative options such as cognitive therapy, aromatherapy and multisensory therapies. The current literature is explored with particular reference to recent research, especially randomised controlled trials in the area. Although many non-pharmacological treatments have reported benefits in multiple research studies, there is a need for further reliable and valid data before the efficacy of these approaches is more widely recognised.

So significant is the find that Help The Aged have awarded a £40,000 grant to the team to investigate how the molusc, born when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and William Shakespeare was writing The Merry Wives of Windsor, has survived over the centuries. Related Articles The record-breaking shellfish, 31 years older than the previous oldest animal, another clam, was caught last year when scientists from the Bangor University School of Ocean Sciences were dredging the seabed north of Iceland. The \"\"Arctica islandica\"\" was among a haul of 3,000 empty shells and 34 live molluscs taken to the laboratory. Unfortunately, by the time its true age had been established Ming was already dead. But the scientists aged the 3.4in clam from its shell which like trees has a layer or ring of growth for every year that the animal has been alive. The shell only grows in summer when the water is warmer and the plankton it eats is plentiful. Each year a layer as thin as 0.1mm is laid down.

Photo Credit: John Clare Salamanders usually aren’t at the top of the list for most reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. They are seen as delicate, secretive and more challenging to feed than frogs, and not very good pets in general. And in the case of many salamander species, particularly some of the smaller ones, these are valid concerns. The tiger salamander, however, is none of the above, and it makes an excellent, hardy captive. It is probably the most interactive species of amphibian. The tiger salamander was, at one time, considered a single species. Over the past couple of decades, scientists recognized that it is several closely related species. These include the California tiger ( Ambystoma californiense), the eastern tiger ( A. tigrinum) and the Mexican tiger ( A. velasci ). There is also the barred tiger species complex, made up of several subspecies, including the blotched tiger ( A. mavortium melanostictum) and the most striking of all tigers, the barred tiger salamander itself ( A. mavortium mavortium )."

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker This exquisite but elusive bird was said to be extinct in 2004, but some miraculous sightings in Florida and Arkansas have confirmed the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker to be alive and well. But the danger of extinction still looms overhead, due to habitat loss and overhunting.2. Amur Leopard Panthera pardus orientalis is a very rare subspecies of leopard that only lives in the chilly forests of Primorye, a region in Eastern Russia. Its former habitat included parts of Korea and Northern China, but in those areas, this majestic feline has gone extinct. A census count in 2007 shows that only 14-20 adult leopards live, with only 5-6 cubs. This is due to poaching, global warming, and habitat loss caused by logging, road construction, and development.3. Javan Rhinoceros Rhinoceros sondaicus is the most endangered species of rhinoceros in the world. There are roughly 40-60 rhinos left in on Java, Indonesia. The last of the population left in Cat Tien National Paek (Vietnam) was killed by poachers in 2011."

"text": "Where do Salamanders Live20 Jul, 2011 animals 0Salamander is the common name for about 500 species of amphibians. Generally speaking, they can be identified by their long tails, slender bodies and short noses. They are a small animal and most species are between 10-30 cm in length. Most adult salamander species live near water and some species are fully aquatic. The characteristic that they are most well known for is the ability to regenerate lost limbs and some other body parts. If you have ever wondered where these unique creatures live, read on to find out. Where do salamanders live? Each species of salamander has a different distribution and habitat, but generally speaking salamanders can be found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia and South America. The only continents that salamanders do not inhabit are Australia, Antarctica, and most of Africa. Approximately a third of salamander species can be found in North America."

Salamanders rarely have more than four toes on their front legs and five on their rear legs, but some species have fewer digits and others lack hind limbs. Their permeable skin usually makes them reliant on habitats in or near water or other cool, damp places. Some salamander species are fully aquatic throughout their lives, some take to the water intermittently, and others are entirely terrestrial as adults. They are capable of regenerating lost limbs, as well as other damaged parts of their bodies.

Look up at a group of stars for enough time and you might start to see them form a pattern like an animal, a person, or an object from everyday life. If you’ve ever tried this, you’re not alone: People around the world have been connecting-the-dots and recording patterns in the sky – called constellations – for thousands of years. ‘Cloud-watching’ in the dark Looking at the stars is sort of like looking at clouds in the daytime – You might see a dog in one part of the sky, where your friend or family member might see a bike. But unlike clouds, the star patterns appear to stay the same over time. When enough people recognize a shape in the stars, it becomes part of their culture. Some of those shapes even become part of a culture’s history, economy, and/or science. In modern times, we usually use the star stories of the ancient Europeans to learn about the night sky (Ursa Major/the Big Dipper, Ursa Minor/the Little Dipper, Orion, and others from ancient Greece. ) But did you know there are shapes among the stars related to the people, places and creatures of what we now call North America?

They have slender bodies, long tails, and front and hind legs that are nearly equal in size. Some salamanders have tails that break off. When a predator grabs it by the tail, the tail just snaps off and continues to wiggle. This gives the predator a tasty morsel to distract him while the salamander runs away and grows a new tail. Salamanders are not lizards, as people often think they are. Lizards are reptiles, not amphibians. Lizards also have scaly skin, claws, and external ear openings. Salamanders have none of those things."

Modern amphibians are all Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in recent decades there has been a dramatic decline in amphibian populations for many species around the globe. The earliest amphibians evolved in the Devonian period from sarcopterygian fish with lungs and bony-limbed fins, features that were helpful in adapting to dry land."

"text": "Salamander Sizes It’s easy to take for granted that the salamander is a kind of lizard, but the truth is it’s not that simple. The salamander is an amphibian while the lizard is a reptile, and any resemblances are mostly superficial. Interestingly, there are certain types of salamanders that are also mistaken for eels or snakes. All this confusion is owed to the various salamander species’ assortment of unique physical peculiarities. The typical body structure of the adult salamander usually resembles that of the lizard; that is, slender-bodied with four limbs and a long tail, the difference being their short noses. They mainly have four toes on their fore-limbs, five toes on their hind-limbs and generally have no claws. There are however some species whose limbs are either significantly reduced in size or absent altogether, giving them an appearance akin to an eel or snake (there are certain lizard species that are like this as well). Salamanders mostly have bright-colored skin, although underground-dwelling species lack skin pigment and are usually pink or white in color. Their skin secretes mucus that acts as a lubricant while they are swimming, sustains salt balance when in the water, and helps retain their moisture when they are on dry land. As a salamander matures, it regularly sheds off its skin’s outer layer or epidermis, which it would eat afterwards."

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.

The family is divided into four genera based on their diploid chromosome number: Hylobates (44), Hoolock (38), Nomascus (52), and Symphalangus (50). They occur in tropical and subtropical rainforests from northeast India to Indonesia and north to southern China, including the islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Java. The extinct Bunopithecus sericus is an extinct gibbon or gibbon-like ape which, until recently, was thought to be closely related to the Hoolock gibbons. Master swingers: Also called the lesser apes, gibbons differ from great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans) in being smaller, pair-bonded, in not making nests, and in certain anatomical details in which they superficially more closely resemble monkeys than the great apes do. Gibbons are masters of their primary mode of locomotion, brachiation, swinging from branch to branch distances of up to 15 m (50 ft), at speeds as much as 56 km/h (35 mph). Their forearms are much longer than their hindlimbs. They can also make leaps of up to 8 m (27 ft), and walk bipedally with their arms raised for balance (which sometimes looks quite comical). Ball and socket: One unique aspect of gibbon physiology is that the wrist is composed of a ball and socket joint, allowing for biaxial movement. This greatly reduces the amount of energy needed in the upper arm and torso, while also reducing stress on the shoulder joint."

Human jaws are surprisingly strong and efficient By Ed Yong | June 22, 2010 7:00 pm Stephen Wroe has built a career out of analysing some of the planet’s most formidable skulls. His group at the University of New South Wales have studied the strength, sturdiness and biting power of the sabre-toothed cat, the great white shark, and the Komodo dragon. Now, he has turned his attention to a predator whose skull is far less impressive but yields surprises all the same – us. Humans, it is said, have relatively weak jaws that can’t inflict or withstand high bite forces. Some have suggested that we are adapted to eat foods that aren’t very tough, or that our use of tools and cooking has lessened the evolutionary pressure on maintaining sturdy jaws. Some have even suggested that our weedy jaw muscles made way for our large brains and thus facilitated their evolution. But according to Wroe, all of these explanations have a fatal flaw – our jaws aren’t weak at all. They’re actually remarkably efficient for a primate. The notion of weak human chops was based on very unrefined models that treated our jaws as two-dimensional levers."

In this complex rain forest web of life, the insects of the rainforest floor tend to eat plants, fungi, decaying material and other insects, and in turn be eaten by spiders, among a host of other creatures. But spiders themselves can fall victim to insects in the form of wasps and army ants.

My friend says that no vitamin or mineral supplements should be necessary if the diet is correct and well-balanced. Is this true? A. Mineral supplements are recommended because the soils upon which captive animals are maintained are not identical to those experienced by free-ranging wild animals, the variety of graze is rarely as great, and because several calcium sources available to wild tortoises are rarely available in captivity. In terms of vitamin supplements, herbivorous reptiles obtain their D3 requirement as a result of the action of UV-B radiation acting upon sterols in the skin, in a process that also depends upon adequate levels of radiant heat. Within their natural range this is not, of course, a problem; outside it, in cloudy, northern latitudes, UV-B levels are simply inadequate to promote sufficient UV-B generation and thus, supplements containing D3 are generally advised. There can be exceptions to this, for example, where very high output UV-B lamps and adequate basking facilities are provided. In general, though, use of such supplements is recommended. There is more to this than just a “correct and well-balanced” diet, environment also plays a part - a part that can be very difficult, if not impossible, to replicate adequately in captivity. Q. Do tortoises obtain all their calcium from plants, or do they use any other sources”?"

We focused on the male coda, which is produced during vocal turn-taking with one's mate, and particularly its phrases containing rapid spectral and temporal variation, to investigate if modulation rates resemble those of lip-smacking in other nonhuman primates and human speech rhythm. Materials and methods: We produced recordings from a large population of wild gibbons. Using terminology consistent with that used to describe vocalizations in other singing species, we analyzed coda phrases, overall coda properties, coda distinctiveness across individuals, and flexibility of phrase production within song bouts. Results: Our song phrase-level analysis showed that male codas differed between individuals and increase in complexity within song bouts by the addition of the only two male-specific phrases of the species' repertoire. These phrases differ from all others of the species and from vocalizations typical of the larger, nonhuman great apes, in that they contain rapid within-phrase modulation. Their modulation rates (6.82 and 7.34 Hz) are similar to that of lip-smacking in other nonhuman primates and speech in humans and, like human speech, are produced exclusively during exhalation. One phrase type (trills) contains multiple notes per exhalation, another characteristic similar to speech but not most primate vocalizations. Discussion: Our data highlight the complexity and flexibility of gibbon song, and show that particular phrase features likely arose from sexual selection pressures and possess similarities to human speech rhythm.

Willson unless otherwise noted Hear call Description: The average body length of southern toads is 41-75 mm (1.6-2.9 in), although some individuals found on isolated island populations can reach 113 mm (4.4 in). Males are smaller than females, and typically have a darker throat during the breeding season. General coloration is usually brown but can vary to dark gray, blackish, or even brick red. Several dark spots or blotches are frequently present on the back and upper sides, each surrounding one or more warts. A light line extends partway down the middorsal of some southern toads, although it may be obscure or absent in others. The belly is grayish white, while the chest is spotted. The skin of these toads is dry and warty, and they have an elongated, enlarged parotoid gland behind each eye. High cranial crests extend from pronounced knobs and approach each other toward the snout. The distinctive knobs project upward in front of the parotoid glands, often giving the animal a horned appearance. Distribution and Habitat: Southern toads can be found in every southeastern state except Tennessee."

By Tod Marks Last updated: June 26, 2014Like many people interested in healthful eating, I strive to incorporate more fish into my diet, especially varieties like salmon and herring, which contain plenty of heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Problem is, fresh seafood costs a bundle. When I visited my local fish monger here in Yonkers, N. Y., recently, I couldn’t believe my eyes: nearly $20 a pound for swordfish, halibut, sole, and $9 for trout, which in the past had always been tasty and less costly alternative. Ever since prices started climbing, I’ve seen an influx of alien species—alien to me, at least—particularly at my neighborhood supermarkets, which cater to customers who, frankly, can’t afford to plunk down $20 a pound for fish. Have you tried swai? Tell us in the comments below. One economical option popping up at many stores is swai, which is native to Southeast Asia—Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia—and sells locally for around $3.99 a pound. Since I knew nothing about swai, I asked Gavin Gibbons, a spokesman for the National Fisheries Institute, for a primer. Gibbons explained that swai, along with basa and tra, two related varieties also appearing at more and more stores, belong to what’s called the Pangasius family and they’re similar in character to catfish."

In particular, Rochester police Investigator William Lawler and State Police Investigator Thomas Crowley hoped the inmate, Gerald O'Connor, could reveal what happened to a man who vanished in Greece in 1995, and whose disappearance is suspected to be linked to the robbery of the Brinks depot. Police say they believe the man, Joseph \"\"Ronnie\"\" Gibbons, is dead. O'Connor has claimed he helped bury Gibbons after another individual killed him. In a series of about a half-dozen interviews with police over the past two years, O'Connor has occasionally related what he claims happened to Gibbons, but police say he has never been willing, if his story is true, to lead them to where the corpse was buried. \"\" He certainly, given his history, has the potential to know this information,\"\" Crowley said of O'Connor, who is imprisoned for an Orleans County murder, kidnapping and sexual assault. O'Connor had previously been incarcerated for manslaughter in a separate slaying. About two years ago, police renewed the investigation into Gibbons' disappearance. With the 14-year anniversary of his disappearance last week, police revealed in interviews some of the successes and hurdles they've faced with the ongoing probe. Police have linked Gibbons to the Brinks heist; most of the money from the robbery remains missing."

Scientists digging in coalmines and sandpits have produced some very amazing fossils. Other primates like a 13-million year old tarsier and an early Adaptiform primate have also been found in the Kingdom. The oldest anthropoid from the fossil record is Siamopithecus eocaenus, or known as ‘Siam Ape’, and found in 40 million year old strata in Krabi province down South. This legacy is just another part of Thailand’s remarkable natural heritage. Pig-tailed macaque in Khao Yai National Park In 2003, an extremely important discovery was made by paleontologist Dr Yaowalak Chaimanee of the Department of Mineral Resources in a lignite mine near Chiang Muan district in the northern province of Phayao. Fossilized teeth of a hominid primate about 10 to 13.5 million years old, was brought forth. The ape was first named Lufengpithecus chiangmuanensis and is related to orangutans. It has latterly been reclassified and renamed to Khoratpithecus chiangmuanensis all because of another amazing new discovery. In 2004, a new species of fossil orangutan about 7-9 million years old was dramatically uncovered on the Khorat Plateau in Nakhon Ratchasima province."

First, it is important to point out that, while a shark occasionally injures or kills a person, this is an extremely rare occurrence, especially considering the millions of people who wade or swim in the world’s oceans each year. According to statistics collected by the International Shark Attack File, far fewer than 100 people worldwide are bitten by sharks each year, and only a handful of these attacks prove fatal. Scientists also tell us that sharks rarely target people as prey and that when a shark does injure a human, it is often because it has mistaken that person for a seal, a sea lion or one of its usual prey animals. Almost all shark species in our oceans are dwindling, and they are more in need of protection from us than we are from them. That said, it is also true that some species of shark are more prone to attacking humans than others, and the question, “what are the 10 most dangerous sharks?” is a legitimate one. Well over half of all lethal attacks on humans over the centuries have come from just three species of sharks: the great white shark ( Carcharodon carcharias ), the tiger shark ( Galeocerdo cuvier) and the bull shark ( Carcharinus leucas )."

There are around 100 species of these primates, all of which live on the Island of Madagascar, off the southeast coast of Africa. Virtually all of them are declining dramatically in population, mostly because of habitat loss due to logging in the forests where they live—but also because of illegal hunting. Many lemur species are listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). All About Wildlife has always had a lemur on our Top 10 Endangered Species list; until this year, that lemur was the greater bamboo lemur, of which perhaps fewer than 100 individuals remain. But researchers recently reported that there may be fewer than 20 of the Critically Endangered northern sportive lemurs ( Lepilemur septentrionalis) left in the wild, so we decided to make a switch. According to the IUCN, the northern sportive lemur lives on and around just one small mountain at the northern tip of Madagascar. This lemur is a tiny creature, weighing less than two pounds. It has large eyes to give it better night vision. Next Animal On The List Back To Main List Top 10Endangered Species List: What Animals Are On It?"

Her tree confirms some past ideas about primate evolution and clarifies other controversies. It’s a story of island conquests, shrinking bodies, tangled branches and ancient relics.

Adults range from 30-60 in (76-152 cm) with the record being more than 6 feet (183 cm) long. Canebrakes are usually gray and may even have a pink hue and a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe running the length of the back.

Elephants, rhinos, and giraffes have an impressive size, and all of them have a diet based on plants. Giraffes are part of those animals that do not need protein from the meat to survive. What do Giraffes Eat? Giraffes are avid eaters when food is plentiful. They prefer to consume what is in the trees including twigs and leaves but also consume a variety of fruits that seasonally grow in the trees. What they eat depends on the time of year and where they inhabit. The elongated neck of giraffes helps them to reach the leaves of tall trees up to 5 meters height, which no other animal can, except for the elephants and with the aid of their trunk; This is a great advantage for giraffes, as they do not compete for food with other animals.

Scientists claim, given the right circumstances, a rat can grow as big as a cow. Millions of years ago, giant rodents had once prowled the Earth. Archeologists found the fossils of an extinct species of rat in East Timor, and it is 10 times bigger than the average modern day rat.

Giraffes feed mainly on the twigs of trees, grazing on the foliage of the African bush. They prefer plants of the Mimosa (acacia) genus and combretum species, but they feed on the leaves of over 100 varieties of plants and trees. Their long necks enable them to reach the upper branches of trees which are out of reach of other herbivores. However, their necks are not long in order to reach up high, they are long in order to reach down low. ( There is an advantage for the giraffe due to its long neck: sometimes when there is competition of food, they can reach for the taller trees.) That is; it would be impossible for a giraffe to drink water from streams due to their equally long legs, without crouching or kneeling, which would then leave them vulnerable to attack by crocodiles and other predators."

"text": "What Do Giraffes Eat | Giraffes Diet Giraffes are extremely large ruminants with high shoulders, long necks, slopping backs and two horns. They possess a long prehensile tongue. Giraffes make homes in a variety of habitats such as savanna and forest. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa. They feed the most during the early hours of the day or at dusk. Giraffes typically eat in open areas so they can have a clear view of predators even though it reduces their feeding efficiency. What Do Giraffes Eat Giraffes are herbivorous and their unique physical form has allowed them to reach as high as 6 ft (2 m) band of foliage which other animals can’t reach other than elephant. Prominent among giraffe’s species is a large bull giraffe which is able to extend its neck almost vertically to reach foliage 19 ft (5.8) high above the ground. Giraffes are absolute browsers as they spend most of their time eating broad-leaved deciduous foliage in the rains. They rarely feed on herbs, grass, and fruits , depending on a specific season."

As a matter of fact, the tallest and most dangerous giraffes live in the African plains and grasslands which covers south of the Sahara desert which makes these tallest animals in the world as some of the funny and beautiful interesting animals to learn about. These tall animals in the world are just at home in captivity and in their natural habitat but their number has been going down sue to the ecosystem and due to the giraffe natural habitat loss. Like the African Big Five, the Giraffes of Africa can live in Africa 's arid and semi arid dry areas because these dangerous giraffes usage of water is just negligible. One would always wonder as to why the tallest and most dangerous giraffe int he world would have little water to drink with its here height. Giraffes as tall as they are and as dangerous as they can be, these dangerous giraffes can move hundreds of miles away in search of water as there is always enough water in the vegetation that the giraffes and their ancestors have been consuming for ages. Giraffes are very tall animals or the tallest animals ever since the great dinosaur era. Giraffes are in fact, the largest and tallest mammals or animals. They can be up to eighteen feet in height! As compared to a normal human being, the tallest giraffe in the world is three times taller than a rather tall person!"

"text": "\"In Context #10 (Fall, 2003, pp. 14-19); copyright 2003 by The Nature Institute The Giraffe's Short Neck Craig Holdrege This essay is part of a larger monograph on the holistic biology of the giraffe. To purchase the monograph or view it for free online, go to the Nature Institute store . Lamarck and Darwin Once scientists began thinking about animals in terms of evolution, the giraffe became a welcome—and seemingly straightforward—example. It is as if the giraffe's long neck was begging to be explained by evolutionary theorists. One of the first evolutionary thinkers, Jean-Baptist Lamarck, offered a short description of how the giraffe evolved in his major work, Philosophie Zoologique, which was published in 1809: It is interesting to observe the result of habit in the peculiar shape and size of the giraffe: this animal, the tallest of the mammals, is known to live in the interior of Africa in places where the soil is nearly always arid and barren, so that it is obliged to browse on the leaves of trees and to make constant efforts to reach them. From this habit long maintained in all its race, it has resulted that the animal's forelegs have become longer than its hind-legs, and that its neck is lengthened to such a degree that the giraffe, without standing up on its hind-legs, attains a height of six meters. ( Quoted in Gould 2002, p. 188)In Lamarck's view, we must imagine a situation in the past where the best food for browsing mammals was higher up in trees, the lower vegetation having been eaten by other animals. The ancestors of the giraffe—which we should imagine like antelopes or deer—needed to adapt their behavior to this changing environment. As Lamarck wrote, \"\"variations in the environment induce changes in the needs, habits and modes of life of living beings ... these changes give rise to modifications or developments in their organs and the shape of their parts\"\" (p. 179)."

"text": "How High Is the Blood Pressure of a Giraffe and Do Giraffes Get Heart Attacks and Strokes? July 11, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Science In an adult giraffe, the systolic blood pressure, the pressure when the heart contracts to pump blood through the body, is about 200 millimeters of mercury at the level of the heart, about twice that of an adult human being. During exercise, the blood pressure at the level of the giraffe’s feet might be double what it is at heart level because of gravity. At the head, it is comparable to the blood pressure of a human being. Stroke and hardening of the arteries can occur in most mammal species, but is not a notable problem with giraffes. The giraffe’s circulatory system has evolved with special adaptations for both high and low pressure. For example, because the blood pressure in the lower part of the body is so high, the artery walls in the legs are very thick, much thicker than in the neck, to prevent edema, or leakage of fluid out of the vessels. The skin and tissue under the skin on the limbs are also very tight to prevent leaks. In the large veins of the neck, there are valves to restrict the flow of blood so that it does not flow backward and pool in the head when the giraffe puts its head down to drink or eat.

It is part of the Giraffidae family, described for the first time in 1898. Its scientific name is in honor of Herr von Tippelskirch, who was a member of a German scientific expedition to East Africa that took information and skin samples back to Europe for the first time. Familia: Giraffidae Genus: Giraffa Species: Giraffa tippelskirchi Former – Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi Anatomy The Masai Giraffe is powerful due to the design of the legs and the hooves. Most predators avoid adults because one swift kick can kill them. Adult males reach a height of up to 19.5 feet, and females are not much smaller because they reach between 16 and 18 feet. Their legs are about two meters long, like the neck, which is internally formed by seven long vertebrae and externally shows a mane all the way down it. Their body is also massive and weighs up to three tons. Males can weigh from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds while females can weigh from 1,300 to 2,000 pounds.

"text": "\"Before Mating, the Female Giraffe Will First Urinate in the Male’s Mouth July 31, 2012 Daven Hiskey 13 comments Today I found out male giraffes take a mouthful of the female’s urine to determine if she’d be a good mate. This is known as the “Flehmen sequence”, where the male giraffe will approach the female and then rub against her backside until she pees. When/if she does, he’ll taste it to tell whether she’s in heat or not. If she is, he will then proceed to stalk her, with the female sometimes continually walking or running away from him. During this time, he will attempt to keep other males away from the female as he pursues her, which is often the point of the female’s rejection, trying to see if she can get a better male to become interested in her and fight off the current male. When fighting over a female, the giraffes will establish dominance via high or low intensity “necking”. The low intensity version of necking involves pressing their necks against one another until one gets tired and gives up. In high intensity necking, they’ll swing their heads and necks at each other trying to land blows on the other giraffe. This type of fighting can last as much as a half hour before one will concede the match. With either type of “fighting”, very rarely is serious damage done."

Towering above all other wildlife, a giraffe's height allows them to scan the landscape for miles. As they survey the land for lions, their main predators, they spend much of their day searching for food. Lions rarely catch giraffes, due to their ability to run fast. When they do encounter a lion, the giraffe is able to deliver devasting blows with their long legs to defend themselves. Their long legs allow them to cruise at 10 miles an hour (16 kilometers), or run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour. Giraffes and large herds of other hoofed animals roam freely on the arid land of the savannas of Africa. Giraffes in the wild, live only in Africa, where the temperature is warm and very wet in the summer and only slightly cooler and drier in the winter.

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, however, it is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. The giraffes range extends from Chad to South Africa. Although the Okapi is much shorter than the giraffe, it also has a long neck and eats leaves and both animals have long tongues and skin-covered horns. The giraffes ancestors first appeared in central Asia about 15 million years ago, however, the earliest fossil records of the giraffe itself, from Israel and Africa, date back about 1.5 million years. Male giraffes are called ‘Bulls’, female giraffes are called ‘Cows’ and baby giraffes are called ‘Calves’. Giraffe Characteristics The giraffe is the tallest living animal which is instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Adult males stand 15 – 19 feet (4.6 – 6.0 metres) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13 – 16 feet (4 – 4.8 metres) tall. Adult males weigh between 1,764 – 4,255 pounds (800 – 930 kilograms), while females weigh only 1,213 – 2,601 pounds (550 – 1,180 kilograms). The giraffe has the longest tail of any land mammal."

This is the first litter for Tilly, who was born in September 2012 at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and arrived at Denver Zoo in January 2014. Her mother was born at Denver Zoo to the zoo's original alpha pair, Daisy and Judd. The father of the new pups, Jesse, was born in January 2011 at Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium and arrived at Denver Zoo in January 2015. All three adult dogs at the Denver Zoo—Tilly, Jesse and Cheza—arrived under the recommendation of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), which ensures healthy populations and genetic diversity among zoo animals.

The calf has been given the name Rocket. Zookeepers chose the name based on his playful personality and \"\"on-the-go\"\" attitude. Currently, mother and son spend most of their time behind-the-scenes in the barn, bonding, with periodic exercise sessions in the side-yard. Rocket is also becoming acquainted with his herd-mates, or “tower”, as they stick their head over fences or stall doors to inspect him. The calf is also learning to manipulate browse with his long, prehensile tongue, even though nursing is his still his main source of nourishment. Based on the signs Rocket, Shani, and the rest of the herd are giving, zookeepers anticipate the pair making their public exhibit debut in mid-May. However much like other timelines at the Zoo, staff members confess that everything will be done on mom and the calf’s terms. In the meantime, Rocket and Shani will have intermittent access to the giraffe barn’s side-yard, where lucky and quiet guests might catch a glimpse of Rocket. Staff report that these viewing areas will continue to remain quiet zones, creating a peaceful environment for the pair until the time that they venture out into the main exhibit."

It is part of the Giraffidae family, described for the first time in 1898. Its scientific name is in honor of Herr von Tippelskirch, who was a member of a German scientific expedition to East Africa that took information and skin samples back to Europe for the first time. Familia: Giraffidae Genus: Giraffa Species: Giraffa tippelskirchi Former – Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi Anatomy The Masai Giraffe is powerful due to the design of the legs and the hooves. Most predators avoid adults because one swift kick can kill them. Adult males reach a height of up to 19.5 feet, and females are not much smaller because they reach between 16 and 18 feet. Their legs are about two meters long, like the neck, which is internally formed by seven long vertebrae and externally shows a mane all the way down it. Their body is also massive and weighs up to three tons. Males can weigh from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds while females can weigh from 1,300 to 2,000 pounds. Their feet measure approximately 12 inches in length and their tongue 18 to 20 inches."

Mature males and females have skin-covered bony projections on their heads called ossicones. Giraffes have very large hearts, capable of generating blood flow to their brains, with specialized valves that keep blood from pooling in their bodies when they are upright, or in their heads when they stoop and lean over to drink.

The \"\"bony things\"\" on a giraffe's head are called \"\"ossicones.\"\" They are growths formed from soft cartilage that has super hardened (ossified). They remain covered with skin and hair/fur, unlike the horns of deer and antelopes. Giraffes have 2 ossicones on top of their heads; those of the female are smaller than those of the male. It is with these \"\"horns\"\" that the giraffe can be sexed: Females have a tuft of fur atop of the horn, whereas the males horns are bald. Some males develop calcium deposits on top of their heads, creating an illusion of three or more horns."

"text": "Giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis At an average height of around 5 m (16-18 ft.), the giraffe is the tallest land animal in the world. Characterized by its long legs, long neck, and distinctive spotted pattern, many people first believed the giraffe was a cross between a leopard and a camel, which is reflected in its scientific name, Giraffa camelopardalis. Giraffes live primarily in savanna areas in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Their extreme height allows them to eat leaves and shoots located much higher than other animals can reach. In particular, they seek out acacia trees. Their long tongues are helpful in eating because they help pull leaves from the trees. Spending most of the day eating, a full-grown giraffe consumes over 45 kg (100 lb.) of leaves and twigs a day. The male giraffe is both taller and heavier than the female."

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, however, it is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. The giraffes range extends from Chad to South Africa. Although the Okapi is much shorter than the giraffe, it also has a long neck and eats leaves and both animals have long tongues and skin-covered horns. The giraffes ancestors first appeared in central Asia about 15 million years ago, however, the earliest fossil records of the giraffe itself, from Israel and Africa, date back about 1.5 million years. Male giraffes are called ‘Bulls’, female giraffes are called ‘Cows’ and baby giraffes are called ‘Calves’. Giraffe Characteristics The giraffe is the tallest living animal which is instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Adult males stand 15 – 19 feet (4.6 – 6.0 metres) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13 – 16 feet (4 – 4.8 metres) tall. Adult males weigh between 1,764 – 4,255 pounds (800 – 930 kilograms), while females weigh only 1,213 – 2,601 pounds (550 – 1,180 kilograms). The giraffe has the longest tail of any land mammal."

At birth on Dec. 28, the calf was underweight and shorter than normal, the zoo said. Zoo officials said she also had noticeable signs she was not fully developed; her hooves and osicones (‘horns’ on top of a giraffe’s head) were not as mature as they should have been. Keeper and veterinary staffs kept close watch on the calf and protected the privacy of mom and baby, the zoo said.

Scientists claim, given the right circumstances, a rat can grow as big as a cow. Millions of years ago, giant rodents had once prowled the Earth. Archeologists found the fossils of an extinct species of rat in East Timor, and it is 10 times bigger than the average modern day rat. Researchers are now working on a way to understand why these supposedly herbivore rats died out. \"\" They are what you would call mega-fauna. The biggest one is about five kilos (about 11 pounds), the size of a small dog,\"\" said Dr. Julien Louys from the School of Culture, History and Language of the Australian National University.

The oldest rocks of the region are an ancient craton that grew by accreting terranes on its margins. A hot spot underneath the landmass fueled a rift zone which almost succeeded in tearing the North American continent apart. The rifting started about one billion years ago and continued for 20 million years. It carved out the basin which became Lake Superior and erupted tons of basalt onto the rift zone, which extends to present day Kansas. If the rift would have proceeded, Duluth could now be located on the shore of an ocean instead of a lake. The rift, however, did stop. Glaciers encroached and retreated upon the land several times in the last two billion years. These glaciers had a profound effect in shaping the land and developing the features we see today. The glaciers shaped Lake Superior into its current form."

For the glacial period lasting from 110,000 to 12,000 years ago, see last glacial period. Northern Hemisphere glaciation during the Last Glacial Maximum. The creation of 3 to 4 km (1.9 to 2.5 mi) thick ice sheets equate to a global sea level drop of about 120 m (390 ft). The Quaternary glaciation, also known as the Pleistocene glaciation or the current ice age, is a series of glacial events separated by interglacial events during the Quaternary period from 2.58 Ma (million years ago) to present. [ 1] During this period, ice sheets expanded, notably from out of Antarctica and Greenland, and fluctuating ice sheets occurred elsewhere (for example, the Laurentide ice sheet ). The major effects of the ice age were the erosion of land and the deposition of material, both over large parts of the continents; the modification of river systems; the creation of millions of lakes, changes in sea level, the development of pluvial lakes far from the ice margins, the isostatic adjustment of the earth's crust, flooding, and abnormal winds. The ice sheets themselves, by raising the albedo (extent to which the energy of the sun is reflected from Earth) created significant feedback to further cool the climate. These effects re-shaped entire environments on land and in the oceans, and their associated biological communities.

"text": "\"Snow Theme Page Enchanted Learning.com Glaciers Water Cycle Page The Earth A glacier is a large, long-lasting mass of ice and snow that moves very slowly over the land like a slow-moving frozen river. A glacier is formed as layers upon layers of snow are compacted. As new snow falls, older layers are compressed into dense ice. Glacial ice is made of frozen fresh water (not salt water); glaciers contain the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth. Glaciers contain about 75% of the fresh water on earth and cover about 10% of the land. During the last Ice Age (which ended about 10,000 years ago), glaciers covered almost a third of the land. The word glacier comes from the Latin word for ice, \"\"glacies.\"\" The study of glaciers is called glaciology; a scientist who studies glaciers is called a glaciologist . Where Glaciers Are Located Glaciers are located in cold areas that get snow in the winter and have relatively cool summers. Most glaciers are located near the North and South Poles or are high in the mountains."

It is the process of friction caused by scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, and rubbing away of materials. The intensity of abrasion depends on the hardness, concentration, velocity and mass of the moving particles. Abrasion generally occurs four ways. [ 1] [2] Glaciation slowly grinds rocks picked up by ice against rock surfaces. [ 3] Solid objects transported in river channels make abrasive surface contact with the bed and walls. Objects transported in waves breaking on coastlines cause abrasion. And, finally, abrasion can be caused by wind transporting sand or small stones against surface rocks."

Okay, I’ll tell it like it was – I was huffing and puffing like a 3-pack-a-day-smoker. I’d been working out, and did some extensive hiking at altitude over the summer, but none of that helped. Feeling a bit humbled, I stopped frequently to “look at the view.” All of the exertion was worthwhile, because from beginning to end, the hike was spectacular. The Lake Blanche Trail begins at the Mill B South Fork Trailhead, not far outside of Salt Lake City, and winds steeply up a canyon toward the lake. Nestled in a glacial basin, with jagged Sundial Peak towering overhead, Lake Blanche looks like a painting. Trek a short distance further to visit two more lakes, Lillian and Florence. During our visit, much of the landscape had a light blanket of snow accented by red and tan rock. Taking in the view, all the way to Great Salt Lake (and catching my breath)."

Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water. On Earth, 99% of glacial ice is contained within vast ice sheets in the polar regions, but glaciers may be found in mountain ranges on every continent including Oceania's high-latitude oceanic islands such as New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Between 35°N and 35°S, glaciers occur only in the Himalayas, Andes, Rocky Mountains, a few high mountains in East Africa, Mexico, New Guinea and on Zard Kuh in Iran. ["

"text": "Fault, in geology, a planar or gently curved fracture in the rocks of the Earth’s crust, where compressional or tensional forces cause relative displacement of the rocks on the opposite sides of the fracture. Faults range in length from a few centimetres to many hundreds of kilometres, and displacement likewise may range from less than a centimetre to several hundred kilometres along the fracture surface (the fault plane). In some instances, the movement is distributed over a fault zone composed of many individual faults that occupy a belt hundreds of metres wide. The geographic distribution of faults varies; some large areas have almost none, others are cut by innumerable faults. Faults may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined at any angle. Although the angle of inclination of a specific fault plane tends to be relatively uniform, it may differ considerably along its length from place to place. When rocks slip past each other in faulting, the upper or overlying block along the fault plane is called the hanging wall, or headwall; the block below is called the footwall. The fault strike is the direction of the line of intersection between the fault plane and the surface of the Earth. The dip of a fault plane is its angle of inclination measured from the horizontal. Faults are classified according to their angle of dip and their relative displacement."

Geomorphologists are also concerned with understanding the function landforms and how landforms respond to changes in energy. Because landforms and landscapes result from the combined effects of lithology, structure, and process, geomorphology draws upon nearly all fields of geology. A Landform is an individual feature, such as a slope, valley or mountain Landscape is the he combined effect of numerous landforms, such a mountainous or desert terrain. What produces a landscape? The three independent variables that control landscape are climate (precipitation and temperature), plate tectonics, and history (time) .

It takes personal fortitude and determination along with an inquisitive mind and self-empowerment. And knowledge about the chronic pain illness is the first and foremost element in helping a person regain control of his or her life. Changes in brain chemistry go hand in hand with pain felt in the periphery (i.e., leg, arm or lower back). Understanding these changes takes research and learning as much as possible about how the brain perceives and reacts to pain and sickness. Over the past 20 years scientists have escalated brain chemistry research to better understand what is happening in the brain that results in pain felt in the periphery. This statement may be reversed and expressed as what happens in the brain as a result of an injury in the periphery. It is impossible to separate these two important concepts in the pain process."

It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement. Like a central computer, it interprets information from our eyes (sight), ears (sound), nose (smell), tongue (taste), and skin (touch), as well as from internal organs such as the stomach. The spinal cord is the highway for communication between the body and the brain. When the spinal cord is injured, the exchange of information between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted. How does the central nervous system differ from other systems of the body? Most systems and organs of the body control just one function, but the central nervous system does many jobs at the same time. It controls all voluntary movement, such as speech and walking, and involuntary movements, such as blinking and breathing."

Multipolar Neurons Multipolar neurons are most common in the brain and spinal cord. They possess three or more dendrites and one long axon issuing from the cell body (Fig. 5-3A). A large motor neuron of the anterior horn of the spinal cord is one example of such a neuron. Bipolar Neurons In bipolar neurons, two processes, one on each end, arise from an elongated cell body (Fig. 5-3B). One process ends in dendrites, and the other process, an axon, ends in terminals in the CNS. These neurons have sensory functions and transmit information received by the dendrites on one end to the CNS via the axon terminals on the other end.

Some say not much, but new research sheds light on the uniqueness of the human brain By Diana Kwon on November 24, 2015New research sheds light on what makes the human brain unique Credit: ©i Stock The human brain is unique: Our remarkable cognitive capacity has allowed us to invent the wheel, build the pyramids and land on the moon. In fact, scientists sometimes refer to the human brain as the “crowning achievement of evolution. ”But what, exactly, makes our brains so special? Some leading arguments have been that our brains have more neurons and expend more energy than would be expected for our size, and that our cerebral cortex, which is responsible for higher cognition, is disproportionately large—accounting for over 80 percent of our total brain mass. Suzana Herculano-Houzel, a neuroscientist at the Institute of Biomedical Science in Rio de Janeiro, debunked these well-established beliefs in recent years when she discovered a novel way of counting neurons—dissolving brains into a homogenous mixture, or “brain soup.” Using this technique she found the number of neurons relative to brain size to be consistent with other primates, and that the cerebral cortex, the region responsible for higher cognition, only holds around 20 percent of all our brain’s neurons, a similar proportion found in other mammals. In light of these findings, she argues that the human brain is actually just a linearly scaled-up primate brain that grew in size as we started to consume more calories, thanks to the advent of cooked food. Other researchers have found that traits once believed to belong solely to humans also exist in other members of the animal kingdom. Monkeys have a sense of fairness."

Your brain is the consistency of soft butter and is made up of over 100 billion (100,000,000,000) brain cells or neurons, and 900 billion glial cells. The glial cells are much smaller than the neurons, so only about half your brain space is taken up by the glial cells. Are you surprised by the amount of energy your brain uses?"

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."

Behar Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-008045046-9.01240-7 Get rights and content GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian brain. GABA is synthesized from glutamate and degraded to succinate in a bypath of the tricarboxylic acid cycle known as the GABA shunt. In rodent neocortex GABAergic neurons comprise ∼15–30% of neurons and consume ∼18% of the glucose oxidized by neurons. GABA produced in neurons by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and released by exocytosis is cleared from the synapse by reuptake into the terminal and also by uptake and metabolism in the glia via specialized GABA transporter proteins. GABA degraded in the astroglia is replenished by glial precursors mainly as glutamine in the glutamate/GABA–glutamine cycle, although other precursors may be involved as well. Different pools, cytoplasmic and vesicular, of GABA exist in the cell, and their synthesis may involve separate isoforms of GAD.

In the neocortex GABAergic neurons are plentiful, constituting 15–30% of all neurons. GABA serves both metabolic and trophic functions, in addition to its role as a neurotransmitter, influencing the migration of neurons and astroglia to their target locations in the cortex. During early brain development GABA elicits excitatory (depolarizing) rather than inhibitory (hyperpolarizing) postsynaptic responses."

[ 2] They are thought to have a similar role to astrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS). [ 2] They supply nutrients to the surrounding neurons and also have some structural function. Satellite cells also act as protective, cushioning cells. Additionally, they express a variety of receptors that allow for a range of interactions with neuroactive chemicals.

The complexity to create our unique mind requires about 100 billion neurons, interconnected by trillions of synapses. A single firing neuron might communicate to thousands of others in a single moment. There are also additional so-called glial cells which help hold all these neurons together in a stable structure. The ratio of glial cells to neurons varies depending on the brain location. For example there are 60 billion glial cells in the cerebral cortex - the ‘modern” part of our brain, and only 16.34 billion cells are neurons, giving this large region at the top of out brain a glia to neuron ratio of about 3.76 to 1.

This genetic engineering creates plant, animal and bacteria food groups that do not occur in nature. There is much controversy over the issue of GMO safety and while the scientific debate is ongoing, many concur that GMOs may have adverse effects on health. One key concern about GMOs is that they have been deemed \"\"safe\"\" based solely on animal studies. Dietician Carole Bartolotto writes, \"\"The point is, if an animal study does not find harm with a particular substance, it could still cause harm in humans.\"\" Special: GMO Foods: Are We Unknowingly Poisoning Our Families? According to the Institute for Responsible Technology, \"\"Human studies show how genetically modified (GM) food can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses.\"\" Here are seven ways that GMOs may adversely affect health: 1. Food allergy - According to the Organic Consumers Association, \"\"The list of GM food products intersect with the eight most common food allergens: eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.\"\""

He’s a third-generation family farmer, God-fearing Christian, conservative Tea Party Republican, and lives in northwest Iowa. What makes him extraordinary is that, despite all this, he is not afraid to counter the “promises and hype” promulgated to farmers by the biotech industry. Even more remarkable, he goes out of his way to share what he has found with any person or group that is willing to listen. He has a perspective that’s different from your average consumer, health professional, scientist, or GMO opponent because he’s out in the fields and farms experiencing things firsthand. Vlieger considers himself a “student of the soil” and began using alternative farming methods in 1989 to produce crops that are nutritious and free of chemicals. In 1992 he started his crop advisory work to help farmers decrease their dependency on chemicals and move toward organic or biological farming methods. His first direct experience with GMOs came in 1997 when he planted a test plot comparing BT (GMO) corn to the conventional version of the hybrid. The seed cost was more than $10 an acre higher for the BT corn and yield was 3 bushels less per acre. In addition, the BT corn was 5 percent wetter at harvest than the conventional corn."

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.

Unfortunately, the food industry is making an absolute killing (maybe literally) selling ones that are filled with highly processed denatured proteins, chemicals, preservatives and other additives. There’s one thing in common for all of them – they are all processed and deciding on whether or not they are actually real food comes into question.

GET INFORMEDWe’ve discussed GMO’s here, Artificial Colors here, Natural Flavors here, Carrageenanhere, Antibiotics here, and Hormones here before so I won’t go into them again in detail specifically.

"text": "\"Organic Foods: What You Need to Know The Benefits and Basics of Organic Food and How to Keep It Affordable Organic food has become very popular. But navigating the maze of organic food labels, benefits, and claims can be confusing. Is organic food really better for your mental and physical health? Do GMOs and pesticides cause cancer and other diseases? What do all the labels mean? This guide can help you make better choices about shopping organic, including what to focus on and how to make eating organic more affordable. What does \"\"organic\"\" mean? The term “organic” refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. While the regulations vary from country to country, in the U. S., organic crops must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, bioengineered genes (GMOs), petroleum-based fertilizers, and sewage sludge-based fertilizers. Organic livestock raised for meat, eggs, and dairy products must have access to the outdoors and be given organic feed."

"text": "The Impact of GMOs On Thyroid Health Published February 11 2013I’m always encouraging people to eat foods that are organic, and some of the reasons for this is to avoid the xenohormones fed to the livestock, as well as to avoid the pesticides and herbicides sprayed on fruits and vegetables. But another reason why you want to try eating organic is in order to avoid GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Certain foods are genetically modified, and to no surprise, there is evidence that this can lead to many different health issues. The primary genetically modified foods include corn, soy, canola oil, and cottonseed oil. So even if you don’t eat a 100% organic diet, at the very least you want to try avoiding these foods and oils. Many people reading this already try to avoid unfermented soy, but some aren’t aware of the health issues with genetically modified corn. And so if you buy anything that has corn in it, make sure it is either organic or that it says non-GMO on the packaging. And you need to be careful when reading ingredients, as it’s obvious that corn meal, corn syrup, and corn starch are all derived from corn. However, other ingredients may not be as obvious, such as caramel and baking powder (from corn starch). Most people don’t know that ascorbic acid is made from corn syrup, and so the corn used to make this can also be genetically modified, which is yet another reason to consume a whole food vitamin C complex."

"text": "Research Paper Lauren Williamson L&CS 122Professor Meneses Spring 2012How Genetically Modified Foods Affect Our Lives In recent years, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have replaced our diet with genetically altered foods, which have adversely affected human health as well as local communities. Being resistant to pesticides, GMOs are created by splicing genes of different species that are combined through genetic engineering (GE), something that is impossible to do in nature (The Non-GMO Project). Consuming these genetically altered and more processed foods can lead to increased risk of diseases and even cancer (Genetically Modified Food). Most of the time we do not even realize that we are eating these harmful toxins as they are infused in our food without our knowledge (Label GMOs). The farmers that maintain the traditional farming practices and choose to grow organic produce over crops that are GE are constantly trying to keep their businesses alive. Larger corporations, however, who choose to use genetically modified (GM) seeds, make larger profits with less time and effort involved. Choosing to buy local organic produce over crops that contain genetically modified organisms can not only help you stay healthy, but also keep our local farmers in business so that they may continue to grow their crops the way nature intended. Living in the Bay Area we are extremely fortunate to have access to all sorts of organic fruits and vegetables that are grown right in our own backyard. There are countless farms in California that can grow just about anything due to the fertile soil and ideal weather conditions. While we are lucky to live in an area that is well known for growing a variety of crops, corporations and their GMOs are starting to, if they have not already, take over."

That overwhelming consensus exceeds the percentage of scientists, 87%, who believe global warming is the result of human activity. However, the public appears far more suspicious of scientific claims about GMO safety than they do about the consensus on climate change. Some 57 percent of Americans say GM foods are unsafe and a startling 67% do not trust scientists, believing they don't understand the science behind GMOs. Scientists blame poor reporting by mainstream scientists for the trust and literacy gaps. The survey also contrasts sharply with a statement published earlier this week in a marginal pay-for-play European journal by a group of anti-GMO scientists and activists, including Michael Hansen of the Center for Food Safety, and philosopher Vandana Shiva, claiming, \"\"no scientific consensus on GMO safety. \"\" A huge literacy gap between scientists and the public on biotechnology is one of the many disturbing nuggets that emerged from the Pew Research Center survey, which was conducted in cooperation with the AAAS, the world's largest independent general scientific society.

In 2853 BC, Emperor Sheng-Nung of China named five sacred plants – soybeans, rice, wheat, barley, and millet. Soybean plants were domesticated between 17th and 11th century BC in the eastern half of China where they were cultivated into a food crop. From about the first century AC to the Age of Discovery (15-16th century), soybeans were introduced into several countries such as Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Burma, Nepal and India. The spread of the soybean was due to the establishment of sea and land trade routes. The earliest Japanese reference to the soybean is in the classic Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) which was completed in 712 AC. The first soybeans arrived in America in the early 1800's as ballast aboard a ship! It wasn't until 1879 that a few brave farmers began to plant soybeans as forage for their livestock. The plants flourished in the hot, humid summer weather characteristic of the northeastern North Carolina. Around 1900 the US Department of Agriculture was conducting tests on soybeans and encouraging farmers to plant them as animal feed."

It’s not because I went seeking this issue out (although I must admit that I first became interested in genetic engineering when I was in junior high and read a TIME Magazine cover article about it back in the 1970s), but rather because in my reading I keep seeing it more and more in the context of anti-GMO activists using bad science and bad reasoning to justify a campaign to demonize GMOs. Now, I don’t have a dog in this hunt (Forgive me, I have no idea why I like that expression, given that I don’t hunt.) I really don’t. I was, not too long ago, fairly agnostic on the issue of GMOs and their safety, although, truth be told, because I have Ph D in a biomedical science and because my lab work has involved molecular biology and genetics since I was a graduate student in the early 1990s. I found the claims of horrific harm attributable to GMOs not particularly convincing, but hadn’t bothered to take that deep a look into them. It was not unlike my attitudes towards the the claims that cell phones cause cancer a few years ago, before I started finding dubious studies and looking into them and noted despite the utter lack of a remotely plausible mechanism and uniformly negative studies except for a group in Sweden with a definite ax to grind on the issue."

The popular term “Frankenfood” captures what is at stake: by going against the will of nature in an act of hubris, we are bound to bring enormous disaster upon ourselves. Credit: Image Source.com (MARS)Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have met with enormous public opposition over the past two decades. Many people believe that GMOs are bad for their health – even poisonous – and that they damage the environment. This is in spite of overwhelming scientific evidence that proves that GMOs are safe to eat, and that they bring environmental benefits by making agriculture more sustainable. Why is there such a discrepancy between what the science tells us about GMOs, and what people think? To be sure, some concerns, such as herbicide resistance in weeds and the involvement of multinationals, are not without basis, but they are not specific to GMOs. Hence, another question we need to answer is why these arguments become more salient in the context of GMOs. I recently published a paper, with a group of Belgian biotechnologists and philosophers from Ghent University, arguing that negative representations of GMOs are widespread and compelling because they are intuitively appealing. By tapping into intuitions and emotions that mostly work under the radar of conscious awareness, but are constituent of any normally functioning human mind, such representations become easy to think."

"text": "\"Genetically Modified Organisms Introduction You've probably heard the term \"\"GMO\"\" before, but what does it mean? Genetically Modified Organisms are being created and grown across the globe. Genetic modification occurs when the DNA of one living thing is added into the DNA of another so that a 'desirable' trait becomes part of the new, modified, organism. These modifications can alter or introduce particular traits in the organism. For example, a corn plant can be bred to resist herbicides that will kill the weeds growing around it that would compete for nutrients and light. In this module, we'll discuss the most frequently modified crops in the United States, the kind of modifications that are done, and we will explore the debate around potential risks and benefits to humans and the environment as a result of GMOs. Learning Objectives By the end of this module, students will be able to: Explain what GMOs and GM crops are. Understand the historical context of GMOs. Have an understanding on the development of GMOs to date. Be able to name at least four frequently GMO crops Describe the way modification is used to affect agriculture Discuss the potential risks & benefits of GMOs on the environment Discuss the potential risks & benefits associated with GMO crop consumption Be able to make arguments for both sides of the debate Background What is a GMO?"

"text": "\"Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food are concern for consumers who are worried about the impact that these organisms may have on their health. As a result, many companies in the late 1990s began to apply the \"\"GMO free\"\" label, indicating that their food does not contain genetically modified organisms. A number of nations legislate labeling, and in Europe, food must be labeled to indicate whether or not it contains GMOs. In the United States, however, labeling is purely voluntary and not regulated by any governmental body or organization. Since it is not regulated, there has been some question about the validity of the GMO free label in the US. A number of organizations have pressured the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ), as well as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), to enact legislation governing food labeling in regards to these ingredients. Many food activists want a label that is standardized, so that consumers who are concerned about this issue can be assured about the content of products they purchase. Most US consumers have foods containing GMOs in their home. The majority of corn and soybeans grown in the US have been modified, as have several other crops. Some research indicates that many processed foods contain such ingredients, so for consumers who are concerned about this issue, labeling would be helpful."

If you are one of the approximately 70 million Americans who suffer from a chronic digestive issue, then you should know that the food you choose to consume could be carrying a gene that is designed to intentionally cause intestinal rupture. Genetically modified foods that contain Bt toxin, a built-in insecticide that inherently works by imploding the stomach of the creature that is feasting on it, could very well be contributing to your intestinal angst. What exactly is Bt and how does it work? Bacillus thuringiensis is a naturally occurring substance that is found in soil bacterium. Since the mid-nineties, some engineered crops have been modified to harbor this toxin within their genetic codes. The idea is to produce crops that have a built-in insecticide, in order to reduce the amount of food that is lost to insect invasion. As if this action alone wasn’t enough, these crops are also being sprayed with more pesticide that coats the outer area of the plant."

Smith Making sure your goats have proper nutrition is one of the most important things you can do as a goat owner. Many health problems, such as scours, bloat, and enterotoxemia can be traced back to what your goats ate or didn’t eat. Scours Scours is one of the most common problems in kids as they adjust to food. Too much milk at one feeding or too much grain can cause scours in kids. So can coccidiosis, enterotoxemia, a bacterial infection such as E. coli or salmonella, or even pneumonia. Adults can also get scours as a symptom of another illness or, more frequently, in response to too much grain. You can help prevent scours by keeping the goats in a clean environment, increasing milk or feed gradually, and making sure the goats get plenty of clean water, exercise, and fresh air. At the first sign of scours, do the following: Stop milk and grain. If scours are severe, give some kaolin pectin. In mild cases, this is all you need to get the goat back to normal."

Goats are found throughout the world, and more than 210 breeds are catalogued as of 2014. Goats and sheep are often characterized together because of their similarities.

Since I know all you guys are justdyingto own some goats……and since I know all your husbands/boyfriends/fiances/girlfriends/wives are, like, totally begging you to please move to a farm so you can milk goats every morning… I’ve decided to compile a simple guide to raising and milking goats. When I first was interested in getting a goat or two, I had NO IDEA how it all worked. Hopefully I can assist some readers out there in their research and maybe I’ll even convince you naysayers to get a goat yourself! Then you can be a weird goat person like me! And just think, next year you can send out Christmas card photos of you and your goat. ( Don’t worry, you won’t look weird AT ALL). I must admit, we’ve gone full weird. We use essential oils for our health care needs, we homeschool our kids, and now we milk goats. Full weird, folks."

It has less lactose, almost 25% less, so it's less likely to bother the lactose intolerant. It's less likely to be allergenic due to protein content -- it has 89% less α-s1 casein, the protein responsible for most milk allergies. I'd say your issues with cow's milk stem from drinking whole cow's milk instead of skim or 1% or 2% -- the symptoms you report sound to me like problems with fats. You may also be lactose intolerant, and since goat milk has less lactose, it's not pushing you over the amount you can tolerate. As for any subjective feelings when you drink cow's milk, those are probably mostly psychological rather than genuinely physiological.3.7k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Raqib Zaman Your response is private."

"text": "\"C1What Do Goats Really Like To Eat? Bruce Mc Gregor, Goat Specialist Victorian Institute of Animal Science, Agriculture Victoria, Attwood. Introduction All my life I have been told or have read about goats supposedly eating anything and every thing. Even some Department of Agriculture documents have claimed that goats have a \"\"catholic\"\" taste, meaning that they have a universal, liberal approach to what they eat. We all see cartoons of goats \"\"eating\"\" clothes hanging from the clothes line, or munching on tins and other rubbish. So what is the truth about goat diets? This article discusses behavioural studies of goat diet selection, nutritional studies of goat diets and refers to scientific studies of goat diets in Australia. But first I must refer to a very old story. What does the story about the Three Billy Goats Gruff teach us? I have always enjoyed reading the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff to my daughters."

"text": "What Do Grass Fed Sheep & Goat Eat? What our grass fed sheep and goats eat depends upon the season. In the spring the new grass growth is eagerly anticipated after their winter’s diet of harvested grass and alfalfa hay. If the opportunity presents itself and eager sheep may test the gate latches and often manage to release a chain, open the gate and bellow to the group to come along down the road to a green pasture. It is hard to hold them back until the spring grass is ready. The actual turnout time is dependent upon weather conditions. Spring flooded or muddy fields are not appropriate for grazing. In Wisconsin the turnout time may vary from late March to late May. Until then sheep, goats and their shepherds have to patiently wait for the grass to grow. Ewes and her 4 lambs grazing spring rye grass pasture When the grass is ready to be grazed it is important to introduce the sheep to pasture carefully. It takes a few days for their rumen to adjust."

So, given the paddock system, what animals can you throw in together at the same time? I know that cows poo is great feed for pigs. So cows & pigs together? In one post I read that pigs will eat sparrows. By the way the post was written, I am assuming the sparrows were intentionally injured via the trap bird houses and left for the pigs but if I were to allow chickens to run with the cows & pigs, would they too get eaten or are they too fast for a pig? What about throwing in a lamb or two as well? Any ideas?"

Answer by Emilyfriedenberg Confidence votes 180The dodo bird ate mostly fruits and seeds. Occasionally it would swallow pebbles to help it digest the seeds. It did eat fruits from the Calvaria tree, also known as the dodo tree, or the tambalacoque. Right now this tree is going extinct. The dodos were its only way of reproducing, something in their guts fertilized the seeds as they ate them. Scientists are frantically trying to figure out how to fertilize the seeds without the dodos. I suggest that if we are going to clone an extinct animal, we clone the dodo. Fast."

John entitled Dodo oder Dronte (Didus Ineptus) http://www.davidreilly.com/dodo/gallery.html TAXONOMY: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Columbiformes Family: Raphidea Genus: Ralphus Species: R. Cucullatus WHO WAS THE DODO? In 1598 a ship of Portuguese sailors landed on the island of Mauritius and discovered, a previously unknown species of bird, known today as the Dodo Bird. This bird was like nothing they had ever seen before, and having been living in solitude on the island with no natural predators it was a surprisingly fearless. The sailors however mistook this for stupidity therefore giving the bird its name, the “dodo”. Over the course of the next century the dodo was killed by humans and other non-indigenous animals that were brought with them and less then 100 years after it was discovered, it was completely wiped out. The Dodo remains one of the most widely known cases of animal extinctions. There are a few different speculations on what the Dodo bird originally looked like. Since there were no cameras in the 1500’s all we have to rely on is the portrayal and descriptions of the birds in sailor’s journals, and artist’s renditions. However, since it was such an unusual looking creature there is quite an array of drawings and painting still in existence."

"text": "\"The dodo was a large flightless bird native to the island of Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean. The first birds were seen around 1600, and less than 100 years later, they were entirely extinct. Many people like to use the animal as an archetypal example of an extinction event caused by humans, cautioning that other animals could go the way of the dodo without prompt action to protect endangered and threatened species. According to surviving specimens, research on Mauritius, and numerous contemporary accounts, the dodo appears to have been around 3 feet (1 meter) tall, with grey plumage, white markings, and a heavy hooked beak. The birds were closely related to pigeons, sharing the squat body and stubby legs. Several skeletons are held in natural history museums, and some museums have built models to show visitors what the birds might have looked like. Dodos were apparently very gentle, friendly birds. This is probably the result of evolving in an isolated island environment without any predators; many island animals suffer greatly when humans enter their environment, introducing new and previously unknown concepts to their world like guns, rats, and cats. Many people considered the bird to be stupid, because they were so friendly, and the term “dodo” is sometimes used to describe someone who is particularly dopey, although this is probably a bit unfair. Ad The extinction of the dodo was probably caused by a number of factors."

"text": "Pets & Animals Birds Q: What Do Peacocks Eat? A: Quick Answer Peacocks have an extremely broad diet that consists of fruits and nuts, as well as worms and lizards. Peacocks also eat termites, ants, scorpions and crickets. Wild peacocks are able to digest particularly versatile diets, having been observed eating flower petals in one sitting and then turning around to stalk a poisonous snake for their next meal.

Their diets vary, depending on their geographic location and whether they are domesticated or wild. Domesticated peacocks generally enjoy a lighter diet chosen by their caretakers that often consists of fruit, berries, cat food and cheese."

"text": "\"Dr. Oz on Sweeteners: Sugar, Fructose, Insulin/Resistance, AGE, Fatty Liver…. All 190 posts here…. I was shocked when Dr. Oz recommended a snack made with agave syrup. I had seen a previous program by America's representative of the medical industry in which he revealed the hazards of agave syrup as a new source of fructose. Now he just skipped over the use of this fructose syrup as a \"\"natural\"\" sweetener, even though it is even less healthy than high fructose corn syrup, HFCS. There seems to be a lot of deliberate confusion about sweeteners and since I am trained as a carbohydrate chemist, I will try to tell it as I see it. General Information Carbohydrates are not needed in your diet, since your liver can make all the blood sugar that you need from protein. Most diabetics can benefit from a low carbohydrate diet. Glucose, the blood sugar, is primarily responsible for turning on insulin production, so sweeteners (glucose, sucrose, HFCS, corn syrup) or dietary carbohydrates (starch, e.g. cereal, rice, pasta, potatoes, bananas) that are readily converted to glucose, cause blood insulin levels to rise. Fructose in any form (HFCS, sucrose, agave syrup) contributes to liver damage."

"text": "Insanely Shocking Facts About the Extinct Dodo Bird Recent studies have revealed some new information that contradict the age-old dodo myths. These myths made us believe that the dodo was overweight and slothful, and these characteristics led to the demise of the whole dodo population. However, now scientists consider this extinct bird as the perfect example of environmental adaptation!The plight of this flightless bird is well-known; it became extinct. Nevertheless, there was a time when the dodo was considered to be a figment of somebody's imagination. Numerous expeditions and searches were conducted to dig out the skeleton of this nearly mythical bird. However, all these efforts were in vain until dodo enthusiasts, Harry Higginson and George Clark, stumbled on the remains of the bird in 1865. This finding established the existence of this short-winged, fruit-eating bird, and thereby led to a more prominent search for complete set of dodo bones. Some Unknown Facts» The original Latin name given by Carl Linnaeus to this bird was 'Didius ineptus' meaning 'the inept dodo'. However, scientists now prefer to call it as 'Raphus cucullatus'.» The main predators of these birds were the Dutch sailors (and the animals they brought along) who, en route to Spice Islands of Indonesia, used to halt at the habitat islands of dodos."

The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird once inhabited the island of Mauritius, in the east of Madagascar in Indian Ocean. The Nicobar Pigeon is the considered to be the closest relative of dodo bird. The white dodo bird was mistakenly believed to have existed in the island of Reunion. Dodo bird became extinct due to several reasons such as human-hunting which was not too difficult as these birds were not fearful from humans; moreover, humans also introduced some other species that preyed these flightless birds thereby further reducing the numbers. Dodo Bird Facts The length of the dodo bird measured around 1 meter (3.3 feet), with the weighed measuring at 10 to 18 kg (22 to 40 lb). Little is known about the exact appearance of these flightless birds. However, evidence suggests that dodo bird showed brownish-grey plumage, bare neck, together with the yellow beak and feet. Dodo bird used gizzard stones to digest food which included fruits and its primary habitat was deemed to exist in the drier coastal regions of Mauritius. According to the scientists, dodo bird became flightless largely due to the abundance of food-availability and virtual absence of potential predators on Mauritius."

Nigeria is located on the west coast of Africa at the inner corner of the Gulf of Guinea (part of the Atlantic Ocean). Its land area is comparable to being about twice the size of California. An area of mangrove (a type of tropical tree) swamp forest lines the coast of Nigeria.

Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting. The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its talons.

"text": "State Threatened Species Background The bald eagle is best known as the national emblem of the United States of America. It was chosen for this honor in 1782 by the Second Continental Congress because the species is unique to North America. However, the bald eagle went from being common in the early 1700s to extremely rare in the lower 48 states by the 1960s. This precipitous decline was due to loss of habitat and nesting trees, food contamination by pesticides, and illegal shooting. Contamination of food by the organochlorine pesticide DDT is widely accepted as a major reason why populations of eagles, along with many other raptor species, declined in the mid-20th century. DDT accumulated in the food chain and, when contaminated food was ingested by eagles, it caused them to lay eggs with weakened shells that cracked when the birds incubated their eggs. Eagle populations across the country were decimated. General use of DDT was banned in the United States in 1972. The bald eagle was first declared an endangered species with the passage of the federal Endangered Species Act in 1973. Populations eventually began to recover due to the ban on DDT use, successful reintroduction programs of fostered chicks and fledglings, and habitat and nest protection measures."

We are going to the Qinling Mountain, which is in the Himalaya Mountain range, in China. What we are looking for, is the unusual animals that live there. Hope you enjoy this trip.~Marsha~QINLING MOUNTAINSThe Qinling Mountains are a major mountain range located mainly in the Eastern province of Shaanxi, in China. The mountains provide a natural boundary between the North and South of the country, and support a huge variety of plant and wildlife, some of which is found nowhere else on Earth.The Northern side of the range is prone to cold weather, while the physical barrier of the mountains mean that the land to the South enjoys a sub-tropical climate, with the rich, fertile landscape supporting a wealth of wildlife and vegetation. Until the late 1990s when a railway tunnel was completed, travel across the range was very difficult.QINLING PANDAThe Qinling Panda is the only known subspecies of the Giant Panda. It was identified in 2004. There are a number of physical differences between the Qinling Panda and the Giant Panda. The Qinling Panda is overall smaller. Its head is smaller and more round, yet its teeth are large. Its fur is light and dark brown as compared to the black and white of the Giant Panda. It is only found in the Qinling Mountains where it is protected with the help of the nature reserves. There are an estimated 200-300 Qinling Pandas in the wild.GOLDEN TAKINThe golden takin is an endangered goat-antelope native to China. Takins are adapted to staying warm and dry during winters in the Himalayan Mountain regions they inhabit. A thick, secondary coat is grown to keep out the cold. Their large, moose-like snout has large sinus cavities that warm up the air a takin inhales which prevents the loss of body heat by breathing. Although they have no skin glands, their skin secretes an oily substance that provides a water barrier that protects takins from the elements. They are around the same size as a cow and are very aggressive.GOLDEN SNUB-NOSED MONKEYAccording to an estimate published in 2001, this subspecies included about 3,800-4,000 individuals (about half of them adults) in Qinling Mountains. They eat a diet of leaves, fruits, seeds, nuts, bark and flowers.TEMMINCK'S TRAGOPANThe Temminck's Tragopan is a medium-sized pheasant. The male is a stocky red-and-orange bird with white-spotted plumage, black bill and pink legs. It has a bare blue facial skin, inflatable dark-blue lappet and horns. The female is a white-spotted brown bird with blue circular eye skin.CRESTED IBISThis species has become endangered and lives in this one particular area, where it has an extremely small population. Although its population continues to increase, there are now perhaps more than 250 mature individuals. Distinctive bushy-crested ibis has red facial skin and legs. Non-breeding adults are white while breeding adults have grey head, neck, mantle and scapulars.GOLDEN EAGLEThe Golden Eagle is one of the best-known birds of prey. It is the most widely distributed species of eagle. These birds are dark brown, with lighter golden-brown plumage on their napes. Immature eagles of this species typically have white on the tail and often have white markings on the wings. Golden Eagles use their agility and speed combined with extremely powerful feet and massive, sharp talons to snatch up a variety of prey (mainly hares, rabbits, marmots and other ground squirrels). Golden Eagles maintain home ranges or territories that may be as large as 77 square miles. They build large nests in high places (mainly cliffs) to which they may return for several breeding years. Females lay up to four eggs, and then incubate them for six weeks. Typically, one or two young survive to fledge in about three months. These juvenile Golden Eagles usually attain full independence in the fall, after which they wander widely until establishing a territory for themselves in four to five years.CLOUDED LEOPARDThe clouded leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills, and has been classified as Vulnerable (of extinction). Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals. They are the smallest of the big cats, and not closely related to the leopard. Their average weight is 25 to 51 pounds. The fur of clouded leopards is of a dark grey color, often largely obliterated by black and dark dusky-grey blotched pattern. There are black spots on the head, and the ears are black. They have black stripes on the side of their face.",

Source (s):birds manuelyoucallme53 · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment Eagles are generally differentiated by size. The bald eagle has a wingspread of about 6 feet, the golden eagle is larger (sorry, not familiar with eagles outside the U. S.) Most eagles are quite large and their diet can be varied (bald eagles are fishers and scavangers, goldens take small game - and sometimes the babies of larger game). Hawks (and I'm speaking specifically of Buteos) are soaring birds. They will soar and look for game on the ground. They'll hunt, depending on their size and location, snakes, lizards, mice, rabbits, quail, or birds like doves who have landed on the ground to feed. Falcons (accipters) hunt their food in the air and often take birds while in flight although they can also eat lizards and other small animals. They're very agile and fast. From a personality standpoint, hawks are much more easygoing and are not as easily frightened by the appearance of humans as falcons are (in general)."

"text": "Turkey Vulture Facts – What Do Turkey Vultures Eat? Where Do Turkey Vultures Live? This article demonstrates some of the most interesting turkey vulture facts that are not widespread. Turkey vulture belongs to the family of Cathartes aura and is endemic to North America. The name derived from the Latin word ‘vulturus’ which means tearer and is referred to as the feeding habits. These types of vultures are also known as turkey buzzard and carrion crow. These species are also widely distributed across South America and Canada. The global population of turkey vultures had been extinct until 1980’s, after which it has been growing all throughout North America. For the reason that they do not forage on their own, they do fall prey to poisonous animals at times. These vultures are one of the best cleaners when it comes to dead animals, you can also observe them near your farm-fields."

Hunting Golden eagles use their speed and sharp talons to snatch up rabbits, marmots, and ground squirrels. They also eat carrion, reptiles, birds, fish, and smaller fare such as large insects.

"text": "American Goldfinch Are Still Nesting Why does the American Goldfinch wait so late in the year before nesting? Thistle plants, a major nesting material for the American Goldfinch, blooms in July. It’s thought that the blooming period of the Thistle plant may play a part in the timing of their nesting season. As late summer approaches, these Thistle plants set seed which is eaten by the adults and regurgitated to the young back at the nest. Although the mating habits of the American Goldfinch began long before the nesting season, breeding doesn’t occur until late summer, generally late July through early September. The American Goldfinch prefers an open habitat with a few shrubs and trees. They are most likely to be found on farms and in backyard gardens and they remain relatively quiet in and around their habitat. The female builds the nest using strands of weeds, vines and downy filaments such as the thistle disperses and caterpillar webbing to weave a cup shaped nest. The nest can be so tightly woven as to hold water. Once the nest is built, both male and female may leave the area."

Now, though, experts say that far from nourishing them, feeding bread to birds could do more damage than good. \"\" Bread doesn't contain any of the vital ingredients birds need to breed and feed,\"\" explains Val Osborne, head of wildlife enquiries at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Scroll down for more... Blue tits aren't able to digest lactose and drinking milk can give them diarrhoea, but they can safely eat whole unsalted peanuts But they still fill up on it, then fail to eat food that would provide them with the nutrition they need to survive. But while tossing scraps of bread to quacking ducks at the pond may no longer be considered a kindness, the good news is that there are plenty of household leftovers, from uncooked pastry to porridge oats, that you can still donate to your neighbourhood birds in good conscience. Indeed, for some birds, these scraps are an invaluable lifeline. \"\" We have seen a lot more goldfinches in gardens in the past year,\"\" says Gemma Rogers of the RSPB, \"\"and that's largely to do with the fact that more people are putting out food. \"\" There's no denying that we have a part to play in their well-being. The birds are really busy at the moment, constantly flying back and forth feeding their young, and they need energy. \"\" And during deepest winter when they can't forage as easily, feeding them can make the difference between life and death. \"\""

Finches are squatty, colorful birds with short, stout beaks and a wide range of hues. Goldfinches, as their name suggests, are a dull gold and green color, with the males turning bright yellow to attract the females during mating season. Cassin's finches and purple finches are similar, both with soft purple and red colorings. House finches feature bright reddish orange on their upper chests, shoulders and heads.

"text": "How to Keep Squirrels Away from Your Bird Feeder By: Stan Horst Locate your bird feeder as far as possible from trees and other objects. Few things are more frustrating than being continually outwitted by a squirrel on a mission to steal food from the bird feeder in your yard. While I can’t offer any guarantees, if you follow the tips below, you should be able to stop squirrels from raiding your bird feeder, so you can get back to bird watching. Place Bird Feeder Out of Reach Squirrels are more than capable of jumping up to eight feet horizontally and 11 feet down in search of food. Although you may love having your bird feeder adjacent to your favorite tree, it’s best to move it at least 12 feet from anything squirrels can use as a launching pad to make a crash landing onto it. Squirrels can jump great distances. Bird Feeder Baffle If moving your bird feeder isn’t an option, a squirrel baffle should do the trick. Shaped like an upside down bowl, the baffle is placed on the pole below your bird feeder to shield it from hungry squirrels. If you have a hanging feeder, position the baffle above the feeder. In either case, the determined squirrel jumps onto the baffle then slides down to the ground."

Finches, sparrows and cardinals that eat seeds and nuts have short, strong looking, usually conical beaks. Sparrows, buntings and other birds that eat small seeds, like grass and weed seeds, have small beaks. Grosbeaks and cardinals that seek out large seeds of maples, spruces and pines have bigger, more powerful beaks than other seed-eating birds. Insect and fruit eating birds, such as vireos, orioles and tanagers have slimmer and relatively longer beaks than seed eaters. Hummingbird beaks are long and narrow, like drinking straws, ready to suck up nectar from even the deepest flower. Swallows and swifts that eat only insects have puny beaks. However, these birds often can open their mouths wide, which help scoop up bugs. Fish eaters, like herons, have extremely long, pointed bills. Birds, such as spoonbills and ducks, that seine the water have beaks shaped like wide, flat spoons so they can strain out the small fish, crustaceans, tiny plants and animals they prefer."

"text": "AMERICAN GOLDFINCHBIRD LIBRARY »Overview Facts Food Preferences Nesting Nesting Habits of the American Goldfinch American Goldfinches put on quite a show during courtship rituals. The male, once its bright plumage appears in July, chases the female in flight, singing and making daring flight maneuvers throughout the ritual. The pair will ultimately fly in circles together. Two or three pairs of American Goldfinches may group their territories together in a loose colony, perhaps to aid in defense against predators such as snakes, weasels, squirrels, blue jays, hawks and cats. The nest is built by the female American Goldfinch, up to 30 feet off of the ground. The outer shell of the nest is built of dead tree bark, weeds, vines and grass. The rim is reinforced with flexible fibers found in nature like caterpillar silk and spider web. It is lined with plant down. The nest is said to be so well constructed that it can hold water. The female American Goldfinch will lay and incubate 4-6 greenish-blue or bluish-white eggs, producing one brood per year."

"text": "\"The Goldfincher’s Crossbreeding – European Goldfinch x Canary It’s popular crossbreeding in Europe, usually it’s most common between finches breeders and canaries lovers. This crossbreeding creation’s principal purpose is to create a perfect singer, with the canary’s vocal power and goldfinch’s melody. Usually to get this result it needs crossbreed a male goldfinch with a female canary. Some breeders prefer the opposite crossbreed, more difficult to realize, the resulting hybrid will have the female canary’s silhouette and the male goldfinch’s vocal system, the final look may be illusory for an inexperienced eye, the result will be a very good singer goldfinch. In both crossbreeding males and females children will be NOT fertile. Females hybrids can’t sing at all and are not fertile, but they can be used as very good nurses. Usually copulation will happens from half April to July (in natural light condition), so the reproducers must be raedy, in fact goldfinchers goes on heat a month later then canarys. Tip: In case of male goldfinch with a female canary, is possible let her to brood on not fertile hatch until the natural leaving of nest by the female. So we can take off the nest, and replace after a week again along male golfincher. This problem don’t verify in the opposite case and it’s possible join the couple directly when female golfincher just starts build new nest."

In spring and summer, the breeding male is bright yellow with black wings, cap and tail. Males have narrow white wing bars. Breeding females are mostly yellow and are brightest on the throat and breast. Winter males and females are brownish or greyish above, but the male has a stronger yellow wash on the head. Immature birds are similar to the breeding female in colour but they are cinnamon above and on the wing bars. Females have dusky wings and two white wing bars."

Creation of a state banner had been suggested for years by patriotic organizations, but no action was taken until World War I, when Iowa National Guardsmen stationed along the Mexican border suggested a state banner was needed. The guardsmen said regiments from other states had banners and they felt one was needed to designate their unit. This prompted the state's Daughter's of the American Revolution (DAR) to design a banner in 1917. The General Assembly officially adopted the design in 1921. With the memory of the Civil War still fresh in their minds, Iowans had not adopted a state banner because they felt a national banner was the only one needed. Approval of the banner was aided by patriotic organizations that launched a campaign to explain that a state banner was not meant to take the place of the national emblem. The banner, designed by Mrs. Dixie Cornell Gebhardt of Knoxville and a member of the DAR, consists of three vertical stripes of blue, white and red. Gebhardt explained that the blue stands for loyalty, justice and truth; the white for purity; and the red for courage. On the white center stripe is an eagle carrying in its beak blue streamers inscribed with the state motto: \"\"Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain.\"\""

Female American Goldfinches are duller yellow overall than males, and lack black on the head. In winter, both sexes become duller yellow-brown on the back, head, and breast. The American Goldfinch breeds across much of the United States and southern Canada. In winter, northerly-breeding populations move south, expanding outside of this species’ breeding range into the coastal southeast, the southwest, northern Mexico, and the coast of California and Oregon. Birds breeding in the mid-latitudes migrate short distances, if at all. American Goldfinches breed in a variety of open habitats, including meadows, bushy fields, and (in modern times) urban and suburban yards. This species utilizes similar types of habitat in winter as it does in summer. American Goldfinches primarily eat seeds, including tree seeds and seeds of weedy groundcover plants. In appropriate habitat, American Goldfinches may be seen perched on the stalks of small plants while eating seeds from pods at the top."

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( July 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A golf handicap is a numerical measure of a golfer's potential ability. In stroke play, it is used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played during a competition, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. In match play, the handicap difference between players is used to determine the number of strokes the high handicap player should receive from the low handicapper during the playing of their round. The higher the handicap of a player, the poorer the player is relative to those with lower handicaps. Official handicaps are administered by golf clubs with regional and national golf associations providing additional peer reviewing for low and very low handicaps respectively. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country. Handicap systems are not used in professional golf. Amateur golfers who are members of golf clubs are generally eligible for official handicaps on payment of the prevailing regional and national association annual fees."

"text": "\"Home »Golf Game Improvements »Scoring What Is a Good Score for an Average Golfer? By Robert Preston Although the term \"\"average\"\" is relative, shooting at or around 100 on a par 72 course is widely considered average. When all a player has to judge are the small handful of players who make up a weekly foursome, and the professional players on television every weekend, it can be difficult to get a proper feel for what the average golfer would shoot on a given course. Understanding average scores, and how courses alter the expected average, makes it more manageable. Average Strokes While golf has seen a great deal of progress in recent years in the available technology, while remaining within the legal structures of the rule book, the average player's scoring has not dropped. Although the equipment at his disposal may be improved, it has been found that on a given day the average golfer would be expected to post a score of approximately 100 strokes when following all the rules of golf in regard to penalty strokes. When comparing against this, players must remember to enforce all strokes, as often recreational golfers will allow some leeway with such things as not counting penalty strokes or improving lies, which will falsify a score. Average Handicap Strokes are not the only way to measure the score of a player. In addition to finding the total score shot and comparing it with 100, a player can get a feel for how her scores compare, as a whole, with those of the average golfer by comparing her handicap against the average handicap for heh\\r gender. Handicaps are a measure of the relative skill of a player, and take into account the course the player is on when shooting, as opposed to simply taking into account her score relative to par, and can be calculated on computers in many golf course pro shops."

In a stroke play scenario, that means both of them would subtract handicap strokes from their scores throughout the round. But this is match play. How do two golfers playing a handicap match allocate those handicap strokes? The proper way to allocate strokes in match play is to subtract the lower handicap from the higher, then assign the difference to the weaker player. In other words, the better golfer (the one with the lower handicap) plays off scratch, while the weaker golfer is the only one of the two who uses handicap strokes in the match.

The figure is used when calculating handicaps. The Course Rating is a number, close to par for the course, and is expressed with a single decimal digit. For example: If par for a course is 72, it's Course Rating might be 71.4. Rating values go up with difficulty. Actually, for any given golf course, you can expect to see three (or even more) values for the Course Rating. Each value corresponds to a different tee. For example: On this same course, the Course Rating for golfers who play from the men's blue tees might be 72.8. From the men's white tees, the Course Rating might be 71.0."

But he has been a resident of Connecticut since 1985 when he moved to the Northeast to work at CBS full-time, now serving as the network’s signature voice, having broadcast Super Bowl XLI, the 2007 Final Four in Atlanta and 21 Masters Tournaments. With his busy travel schedule and young family, Nantz’s time for golf is very limited, but he still greatly enjoys the game he played in high school and college and has become good friends with former president Bush, often playing with him at his summer home in Maine. Nantz is a member of both Winged Foot Country Club in New York and the Stanwich Club in Connecticut, where he sometimes plays with former Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, who Nantz claims to have a single figure handicap. In the midst of his busy spring schedule, Nantz took time to talk with Golfing Magazine writer Art Stricklin about his background, his love for the game of golf, his famous rounds and fun times. Golfing Magazine: Playing golf in college, when did broadcasting enter the picture? Jim Nantz: To be honest, that is what I always wanted to do. My goal really had nothing to do with professional golf except for the chance to broadcast it. That was my obsession from early on. I was driven to work for CBS and be a golf announcer for this very network."

"text": "By Chris Mile I have wanted to tackle this question for sometime because it is a real big deal, and I have seen some half baked answers to this question. In my book, every golfer should have the opportunity to hit par threes in one shot, par fours in two, and par fives in three. If this is not possible, you are playing a course that is too long, and if you play a course that is too long or too short, you will not get the joy you should from the game. Computing Your Ideal Course Distance. The answer to the question of how long a course should be for you is real simple. It is 28. Just multiply the length of a well hit drive for you by 28 and that, in my estimation, is the length of a course that will be challenging but enjoyable to play. The logic behind the “Driver x 28” is that an ideal course will have a combination of easy, moderately difficult, and difficult holes. Knowing the length of your drive, you can estimate how far you hit your other clubs. For example, most golfers will hit their 6 iron 64% of the distance of their driver."

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( July 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A golf handicap is a numerical measure of a golfer's potential ability. In stroke play, it is used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played during a competition, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. In match play, the handicap difference between players is used to determine the number of strokes the high handicap player should receive from the low handicapper during the playing of their round. The higher the handicap of a player, the poorer the player is relative to those with lower handicaps. Official handicaps are administered by golf clubs with regional and national golf associations providing additional peer reviewing for low and very low handicaps respectively. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country. Handicap systems are not used in professional golf. Amateur golfers who are members of golf clubs are generally eligible for official handicaps on payment of the prevailing regional and national association annual fees."

"text": "\"MAXIMUM STROKES (PER HOLE) The Rules of Golf do not limit the number of strokes a player may take on any one hole. If it requires seventeen (17) strokes to hole out (including penalty strokes) then your score for that hole is \"\"17\"\". In sanctioned tournament play, such scores can occur, albeit rarely. But there are practical limits to the number of strokes that should be attempted when not playing within a sanctioned tournament. There are two considerations for limiting the total number of strokes a golfer should take on a given hole: Sandbagging Courtesy Let's take them one-by-one. Sandbagging is the name given to someone who intentionally \"\"tanks\"\" a hole so that his or her handicap becomes artificially inflated. By doing so, this golfer hopes to get more handicap strokes the next round. Both the USGA and RCGA have countered this practice by publishing their respective Equitable Stroke Control charts. These indicate the maximum number of strokes a golfer may declare on a given hole for the purposess of calculating a handicap. These charts are not to be used for figuring who won a particular hole or match."

Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game. The game at the highest level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be smaller, usually 9 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup (4.25 inches in diameter). There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough (long grass), sand traps (or \"\"bunkers\"\"), and various hazards (water, rocks, fescue) but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement. Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at all levels, but most especially at the elite level. The modern game of golf originated in 15th century Scotland. The 18-hole round was created at the Old Course at St Andrews in 1764."

GHIN reported the average male handicap at 15.3 in 2003 and 14.3 in 2012. Although there is a slow trend towards improvement, many in the golf industry wonder why progress has not been faster. To make such large scale improvements, we must first better understand the “patient” in order to diagnose the problems. As such, this article will focus on the performance of the average male amateur (AMA). The AMA has a reported handicap of 14 or 15. There is no age or nationality restriction for the AMA. The Track Man Combine data collected from over 10,000 golfers of all levels from around the world will be used to analyze his performance in hopes of better understanding where improvement (s) can be made. Club Speed for Average Male Golfers When looking at how the AMA performs, let’s start with the drive. The AMA has an average club speed of 93.4 mph and an average total distance of 214 yards."

But this would not be accepted if you wanted to play in a local amateur tournament. To get an official USGA handicap, you need to be a member of a\"\"golf club\"\". This is NOT the same as a \"\"private country club\"\". According to USGA handicap rules, you only need 10 people to form a \"\"club\"\". Under the rules, there needs to be a reasonable chance that the members of the club will play together occasionally. This way, you can know if somebody is sandbagging.

Depending entirely on subspecies, the gorilla’s diet considerably differs. Let’s talk about what do gorillas eat! Mountain gorilla, for instance, primarily feeds on stems, leaves, shoots, pith, and fruits make up a small part of their diet. These types of gorillas mostly rely on bamboo for their consumption. Mountain gorillas have a flexible diet which is why they are seldom involved in group-conflicts regarding their food. The range of mountain gorillas averages 3 to 15 sq. km (1.16 to 5.79 sq. miles), with some species have a range of 500 meters (0.311 miles). The habitats of mountain gorillas are widely distributed."

In Applegate's tale, he's acquired a few fictional friends, and the story has picked up some plot embellishments driven by the arrival of an innocent baby elephant.

Find out why he’s defending the zoo’s decision to kill the endangered animal here. Jack Hanna is the latest wildlife expert to weigh in on the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla controversy. The zoo has faced major backlash for shooting and killing a 400 lb. animal after a 4-year-old boy fell into its habitat, but Jack says the staff had absolutely no choice — it was either the gorilla’s life….or the kid’s. “Having worked with these animals for 35 years, I’ve seen them take a green coconut, which you can’t even bust open with a sledgehammer, and squish it,” Jack explains. “ You’re dealing with human life or animal life here, so what is the decision? I think it’s very simple to figure that out. ”A shocking video from the May 28 incident shows the boy being dragged around by Harambe, and while it features sweet moments, too, Jack reveals that the situation was just too dangerous to let the gorilla live."

While he was never the most technically proficient boxer, his savage, unrelenting onslaught ended many of his fights within the first round. His life has been a roller coaster ride few of us could ever imagine; escaping the ghetto as a boy—winning the WBC heavyweight championship at just 20 years old—soaring wealth and bankruptcy—prison—the death of a child—crippling addictions—a facial tattoo—and of course the infamous 1997 “ Bite Fight ,” where he bit off part of opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear.10 Mike Tyson vs. The Philosopher Photo via California State University Throughout his career, Tyson fought some of the most dangerous men on the planet, many of whom he beat insensate to the mat within the first round. But in 1987, the hulking boxer was once talked down by an elderly philosophy professor. During a party in New York City, Mike had gotten into an altercation with teenage supermodel Naomi Campbell, whom he was dating at the time. When things got ugly, Naomi’s friend ran for help. The help came from a most unusual source: Instead of some burly fighter trying to end the lovers’ quarrel, a tiny 77-year-old man arrived on the scene. He was A. J. Ayer, a British philosopher. Tyson was baffled and enraged by the elderly fellow’s intercession, screaming “Do you know who the f—k I am? I’m the heavyweight champion of the world.”"

Initially meant as first original series (though ultimately shunted to UPN's \"\" Disney's One Too \"\" lineup), it also appeared on in India. The Legend of Tarzan picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes following Kerchak 's death, and Jane (whom he has since married) adjusting to life in the jungle. Rounding out the cast are Jane's father, Professor Archimedes Q. Porter; Tantor, the germophobic elephant; and Terk, a wisecracking female ape and Tarzan's old wrestling buddy. The series would adapt elements from numerous other Tarzan books, such as Queen La, the Waziri Tribe, and Pelucidar, a hidden world of dinosaurs. Several episodes unaired during the original run would be edited together into the Tarzan and Jane movie, but found their way in individual form in re-runs. This series was never shown on video in its entirety. Instead, several scenes were integrated into a game in the Tarzan & Jane DVD, named the Tarzan & Jane Adventure Builder, in which the player has to decide the characters' actions, using the remote control's arrow keys, while choosing a path, while Tantor narrates, gamebook style.

( Cincinnati Zoo)A 400-pound gorilla was shot dead by an emergency response team at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday after he grabbed a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into zoo’s Gorilla World enclosure. Harambe, a 17-year-old silverback gorilla who celebrated his 17th birthday on May 27, dragged the young boy through a moat inside the enclosure. Zoo officials said in a press release they considered the situation to be “life-threatening” and made the difficult decision to kill the rare gorilla. “The Zoo security team’s quick response saved the child’s life. We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically-endangered gorilla,” Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard s aid in a statement. “ This is a huge loss for the Zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide. ”The boy had climbed over a barrier and then fell into the moat.

They seem to be forever typecast as the heavy. But the truth is, they’re peaceful, family oriented, plant-eating animals that live in complex social groups. They are the largest of all primates—the group of animals that includes monkeys, lemurs, orangutans, chimpanzees, and humans. Many people like to compare gorillas with humans, but there are several differences. Although they are able to stand upright, gorillas prefer to walk using their hands as well as their legs. Their arms are much longer than their legs, and gorillas can use the backs of their fingers like extra feet when they walk. This is called the knuckle walk. Like all great apes (except humans), gorillas require rain forests to make their living, and the forest depends upon them, too."

They are typically divided into two groups. The mountain gorilla lives in the mountainous regions of central Africa, while the lowland gorilla lives in the flat, dense forests of central and western Africa. Though the two types are very similar, they have a few differences. For example, mountain gorillas tend to have longer hair, whereas lowland gorillas have short, soft hair, according to the Smithsonian . Another difference is size. Lowland gorillas are 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) tall and weigh 150 to 400 lbs. ( 68 to 181 kilograms). Mountain gorillas are about the same height, though they tend to weigh a bit more.

"text": "Home Learn Breeds How to Tell the Difference Between an Ape and Gorilla How to Tell the Difference Between an Ape and Gorilla By W D Adkins Because the system scientists use to classify animals can be confusing to the uninitiated, many people don't realize that the gorilla is actually a member of the family of great apes. So the question we really want to ask isn't how to tell the difference between apes and gorillas, but how to tell the difference between gorillas and other apes. However, it's actually pretty easy, once you know what to look for. Step 1The first thing to do is to make sure you can distinguish between apes and other primates. This is very simple to do. Of the 11 families of primates, only apes and monkeys are anthropoid (meaning they have body structures very similar to humans). Since monkeys have tails and apes don't, it's easy to tell them apart. Step 2There are two groups of apes. Gibbons, or lesser apes, are small (averaging about 15 pounds) and all the great apes are much larger. There are four species of great apes: gorillas, orangutans, and two species of chimpanzee, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo or pygmy chimpanzee."

Question 1. Where do the mountain gorillas live? Mountain gorillas live in the Virunga volcanoes in East Central Africa. The majority of them exist on the slopes of the dormant volcanoes Karisimbi, Mikeno, and Visoke, Sabinyo, Mgahinga, and Muhavura. While the gorillas' habitat is mountainous, they rarely climb above 13,000 ft, and also seem to avoid the low, meadowy areas between the volcanoes. Because access to food plays a primary role in the gorillas' choice of habitat, they spend most of their time in the Hagenia forests, some of their time in the bamboo forests, and very infrequently visit subalpine areas."

Exact counts of gorilla populations are difficult as the shy apes live in secluded tropical and subtropical forests. The two species are the eastern gorilla, Gorilla beringei, and the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla. The western species has two subspecies: the western lowland gorilla, G. gorilla gorilla, and the Cross River gorilla, G. gorilla diehli.

While it is true that they are large, powerful creatures, they are also gentle and affectionate. Mountain gorillas are easygoing vegetarians who lead a peaceful, playful life. Large males patiently allow young gorillas to climb all over them without a murmur of protest, and they are not aggressive toward humans unless they are threatened. As primates, humans and gorillas share a common ancestor. Humans did not evolve from gorillas; rather, humans and gorillas simply took separate evolutionary paths about 10 million years ago. We seem to have a special affinity for these animals despite our differences. As George Schaller, one of the world’s leading gorilla researchers, has written: No one who looks into a gorilla’s eyes — intelligent, gentle, vulnerable — can remain unchanged, for the gap between ape and human vanishes; we know that the gorilla still lives within us. Do gorillas also recognize this ancient connection? ( George B. Schaller, “Gentle Gorillas, Turbulent Times,” National Geographic, Vol."

The boy apparently told his mother he wanted to meet Harambe and crawled under a rail and over the wall of the moat. As usual, my inbox was ringing constantly with different reports. Indeed, the title of Peter Holley's essay in the Washington Post is called \"\"‘ Shooting an endangered animal is worse than murder: Grief over gorilla’s death turns to outrage . \"\" What can be done to avoid such unnecessary killings? Opinions vary widely about whether or not the boy's parents are to blame and should be charged for negligence, and whether Harambe should have been killed. As I watched footage of the event I was reminded of an incident at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo in which a female western lowland gorilla named Binta Jua rescued a 3-year-old boy who fell into her enclosure.

"text": "\"By Melissa Hogenboom26 December 2015It is now 30 years to the day since the mysterious death of Dian Fossey, the primatologist who transformed the way we see gorillas. Before Fossey's work, gorillas had an appalling reputation as violent brutes that would kill a human on sight. Fossey demolished this myth. Living alongside a group of mountain gorillas in the forests of Rwanda, she showed that these huge apes are actually gentle giants, with individual personalities and rich social lives. In many ways they are like us. But the mountain gorillas were also in terminal decline, their habitats encroached on by farms and overrun by war and civil unrest. Fossey spent her last years fighting an increasingly savage battle to save them, until she finally lost her life in 1985. The 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist presented a fictionalised version of Fossey's story. We have attempted to tell it as it really happened by speaking in depth to three of Fossey's colleagues and friends, one of whom, Ian Redmond, provided nearly all the photos featured. Dian Fossey did not set out to become a primatologist."

With 92-98% of its DNA being identical to that of a human, it is the next closest living relative to humans after the two chimpanzee species. Gentle Giants: Gorillas are usually a very gentle animal. They are rather calm animals except when they think they are in danger. It is better to look away and shake your head when with a gorilla then look directly in its eyes, which is viewed as something threatening. The stereotype of gorillas beating their chest isn't false however... when threatened by enemies they do display their chests, beating on them, charging toward the enemy and staring. This is mostly to scare the opponent however, normally the gorilla will stop short a few feet away. Knuckle walkers: Gorillas move around by knuckle-walking. Adult males range in height from 165-175 cm (5 ft 5 in-5 ft 9 in), and in weight from 140-165 kg (310-365 lb)."

Short, thin, gray-black to brown-black hair covers the entire body except the face. Western lowland gorillas may have a more brownish coloration. A small white tuft of hair on their rump distinguishes infants up to four years old. The white patch helps the mother keep track of the infant and assists other group members in identifying the gorilla as an infant. Mature silverback males have a saddle of white hair across the small of their backs. In western lowland gorillas, the silver may extend to rump and thighs. Western lowland females may go gray below the ears and on the neck and top of the head as they age."

The Western Lowland Gorilla lives in the tropical rainforests spread across six countries across west equatorial Africa which include: southeast Nigeria, Gabon, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo and Equatorial Guinea. Western Lowland Gorilla Characteristics The Western Lowland Gorilla is the largest of all primates. Western Lowland Gorillas have broad shoulders, a muscular neck and strong hands and feet. Their considerable size gives them a good defence against predators and they live in relative safety on the ground, more so than any other primate. The Western Lowland Gorillas body is covered by short, thin grey-black or brown-black hair. A gorillas face has no hair, however, they do have a thick ridge above their eyes. A mature male Western Lowland Gorilla has silver fur on its back. These adult gorillas are called ‘Silverbacks’. Western Lowland Gorillas can walk for short distances on two legs however, they generally get around by walking on all fours."

The minimum group size for all subspecies is two individuals (usually a silverback and a female), except for males ranging alone, while maximum group size varies slightly for each subspecies (Yamagiwa et al. 2003). The maximum group size for mountain gorillas can exceed 20 individuals, while eastern and western lowland gorillas generally are not found in groups larger than 17 to 20 individuals and western lowland gorilla groups are always observed in groups smaller than 20 individuals (Yamagiwa et al. 2003). Gorilla gorilla gorilla Photo: Rick Murphy Mountain gorillas live in age-graded groups of, on average, 9.2 individuals, with one adult male (though there may be more than one), multiple adult females, and their offspring (Watts 1996; Doran & Mc Neilage 1997; Robbins 2001). Natal dispersal is much more common for females than for males in mountain gorillas (Watts 1996). In general, females emigrate from their natal groups to avoid inbreeding. They do not always stay in their new groups throughout their lives and secondary transfer is common (Watts 1996; Robbins 2001). Males either remain in their natal groups or disperse."

An ape is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates. Apes are divided into two groups, lesser apes and great apes. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans (humans are also usually falsely included in this category. Of course they want to falsely think they evolved from animals, since they live like beasts and worse like beasts!). Though all these varieties belong to the same group of apes, they have several differences among them. For instance, gibbons are monogamous and territorial pair-bonders, while orangutans mainly live alone. Gorillas wander in small troops, under a single male leader and the chimpanzees generally live in larger troops. Gorillas and chimpanzees inhabit the tropical Africa, whereas orangutans are generally found in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo. Apes, in general, are the most intelligent of all the animals found on earth."

In Volcanoes National Park, the Rwandan part of the Virungas, twelve gorilla groups are now habituated for gorilla safaris, more than anywhere else in the world. Look into the eyes of a large silverback gorilla and he'll look back with a thoughtful, intelligent gaze, mindful that you're another individual. Any apprehensions or nerves you might have had during your trek will melt away the minute you see your gorilla family. Gorilla trekking safaris offer a magical encounter that transcends any other 'wildlife' experience we know. Click for information on Volcanoes National Park, or read on for more about the truly awe-inspiring experience of tracking to see mountain gorillas in their natural environment…Planning your gorilla trekking safari When to go gorilla trekking Gorilla trekking safaris can be done throughout the year. The hiking itself can be more arduous in the rainy seasons from April – May and in November, but at an altitude of 2000m and more, it can of course rain here at any time of the year. For more details, see Rwanda’s climate. The most popular times for gorilla tracking are during the drier months, between December and February, and from about June to mid-September. Permits for gorilla trekking Inevitably, securing permits for trekking gorillas over these popular periods can be difficult at short notice, so you should plan well ahead."

Agranulocytes are white blood cells that work together to coordinate the body's defenses against germs. This lesson will further explore agranulocytes and how they protect the body. White Blood Cells White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are part of your body's defense system. They can either act as sentries that patrol the body and look for invaders or target specific germs for destruction. There are several different categories of white blood cells. The first breaking point in categorizing white blood cells is to look at granules. Granules look like little purple dots in the cell under a microscope, and they hold proteins that help the white blood cell do its job - namely killing invading germs.

Neutropenia is defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of less than 1500 per microliter (1500/micro L); severe neutropenia is defined as an ANC of less than 500/micro L. Neutropenia may be caused by or associated with numerous medical conditions including congenital disorders of the bone marrow, cancer chemotherapy, infections, certain medications (drug-induced neutropenia), and autoimmune disorders.

Blood cells are made in your bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft inner part of some of your bones. In most types of leukaemia, abnormal white blood cells are made in the bone marrow. These cells can get into the bloodstream and circulate round the body. They do not develop properly and so do not work normally. They don't give you the protection from infection that they should. Because there are too many of these abnormal white blood cells, they stop the bone marrow producing enough healthy blood cells. They can also build up in the lymph nodes and spleen and cause swelling."

I have one male and three female green anoles in a 20-gallon-long tank, and I am thinking of getting more. Please give me some advice about how I should encourage them to breed. Name Withheld Waycross, Ga. A. Relatively few keepers succeed in breeding green anoles ( Anolis carolinensis) into a second generation. Green anoles aren’t hard to mate, and females lay fertile eggs, but the babies can be very difficult to keep alive until old enough to take care of themselves. Photo Credit: Tom Adams Relatively few breeders succeed in breeding green anole lizards. First, though, make sure you can legally keep native green anoles in your state. For example, Georgia has quite restrictive legislation dealing with native reptiles, and you might be surprised to learn what you are not allowed to keep in the terrarium. Check with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for details. You probably will need a permit to keep green anoles legally."

The characteristics of lizards are fascinating and diverse. They range from a tiny 1\"\" (3 cm) up to 11 feet (3.5 m) or more. Most of these animals are very agile, but some are nervous and quick while others are have a calm and relaxed nature. Instinctive aggressiveness runs the gamut from lizards that always bite, to those that occasionally bite, to others that seldom or never bite. Along with size and behaviors, each type of lizard also has its own unique needs and care requirements."

"text": "\"Pets & Animals Reptiles Lizards Q: How Long Does It Take for Lizard Eggs to Hatch? A: Quick Answer Depending on the species, it can take anywhere from several weeks to several months for a lizard egg to hatch. For pet lizards, such as Anoles, eggs should hatch at around the 4 to 6 week mark, whereas the eggs of larger, wild lizards, such as Komodo Dragons, can take 7 to 8 months to hatch. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is a Baby Lizard Called? What Lizards Are Harmful to Humans? What Is a Roughneck Monitor Lizard? Credit: bbb Moment Open Getty Images Full Answer The environment is also sometimes a deciding factor for when a lizard's eggs are going to hatch. For example, lizards known as delicate skinks have developed a survival mechanism that causes their young to hatch from their eggs prematurely. Normally, skinks' eggs need to incubate for 4 to 8 weeks before they can hatch. However, if the young lizards inside of the eggs begin to feel vibrations that suggest the approach of a predator, they will prematurely hatch in order to escape the predator."

The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia which are also squamates. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Others are legless, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling Draco lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with brightly colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals as big as water buffalo. Lizards make use of a variety of antipredator adaptations, including venom, camouflage, reflex bleeding, and the ability to sacrifice and regrow their tails."

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

Most lizard families contain various groups of lizards tied together by anatomical similarities, Many common lizard species are often simply referred to as Agamas, Chameleons, Geckos, Iguanas, Monitors, Skinks, Tegus and a few others. 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."

By Lianne Mc Leod, DVMUpdated 04/09/18Share Pin Email Jeremy Woodhouse / Photodisc / Getty Images Green anoles are common and make a good beginner reptile. They have the advantage of being relatively small, inexpensive and easy to care for. They reach an adult length of around eight inches in captivity, and a lot of that is the tail. It is fairly easy to meet their housing and dietary requirements, although a fair amount of equipment is required to properly set up a vivarium for anoles. What Anoles Look Like They are sometimes called American chameleons, although they are not true chameleons. Anoles can, change their color from brown to a bright emerald green. There are several species of anole, the most common pet species being the green anole ( Anolis carolinensis), native to the southeastern U. S. and the Caribbean. Anoles are also attractive little lizards. Males have a colorful dew-lap (fold of skin under the chin/neck), which they flash during territorial and courtship displays."

The males have attractive throat pouches they use for territorial displays or when courting females. Leena Robinson/Shutterstock Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)The most commonly kept and widespread of all species of Anolis, the green anole, indigenous to the southern United States, has been popular in the pet trade since the 1950s. With a dorsal coat of lime to emerald green (very rare and gorgeous specimens are tinted blue) and possessing a vibrant, pinkish dewlap (accentuated in the males, reduced in the females), the green anole is an agile climber and acute visual hunter of spiders, grasshoppers and other insect prey. Green anoles are personable little lizards that seem to enjoy being hand-fed, and they can make great “starter” reptiles for young and beginning hobbyists. That said, they do have some specialized care requirements. Green Anole Availability The green anole has long been one of the most widely available species of lizard in the pet trade. Often sold as “feeders” (prey items for larger, reptile-eating species of snakes and lizards), green anoles are available at local pet shops, chain pet store retailers and from online sellers at very affordable prices; seldom does a green anole command more than a $10 price-tag. Green Anole Size Male green anoles may grow to 8 inches, while females seldom exceed 5 to 6 inches. Young hatch at three-quarters to 1 inch in length."

The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia which are also squamates. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Others are legless, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling Draco lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with brightly colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals as big as water buffalo. Lizards make use of a variety of antipredator adaptations, including venom, camouflage, reflex bleeding, and the ability to sacrifice and regrow their tails."

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

Commercial Diets- NOTHow much to feed A word about METABOLIC BONE DISEASE (calcium deficiency)General Rules about Feeding: An example of what mine eat: Water Dragon Books How to contact me Diet: How often to feed your dragon Dragons at different stages of maturity get fed differently. A hatchling or juvenile needs to be fed daily; an adult- gets fed about every 2 to 3 days, although many people like myself do feed their adult dragons on a daily basis. Feed smaller portions if you would like to feed an adult dragon on a daily basis to prevent them from becoming overweight. However, whatever size the dragon is disregard this feeding schedule if the dragon is skinny as you need to get some weight on this little guy!If your dragon is underweight or recovering from an illness (and interested in eating) feed every day, offering food 2 or three times a day. Your dragon may only eat a bit in one sitting but be hungry later, and if you don't offer more food your dragon will take longer to get back in shape!Food Items to offer: Crickets, mealworms (normal size, jumbo and super), waxworms, and earthworms, grasshoppers, butterworms, locusts, some people try small feeder fish like goldfish, and you may also want to offer a little bit of finely shredded veggies and fruit ( if your dragon will eat veggies this should make up about 10% to 15% of their diet) ( if you're going to try feeding them veggies and fruit, look for Melissa Kaplan's \"\" ig salad diet \"\" in her Iguana Care FAQ you can find the FAQ at: http://www.anapsid.org, you may also be interested in viewing this page in order to select fruit and veggies with a good calcium to phosphorous ratio.

Maybe it’s because they remind most of us too much of snakes. Maybe it’s just their unpredictability. They move too fast.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: \"\"The Green Whitespotted Puffer is an omnivore, eating a wide variety of marine life, such as fleshy, calcareous, or coralline algae, mollusks, tunicates, sponges, corals, zoanthids, crabs, shrimps, tube worms and echinoderms, as well as detritus. In captivity it can be fed a diet of various carnivore fares, such as fresh chopped or frozen shrimp, crab, squid, clams, fish, and it will sometimes eat preparations suitable for herbivores.\"\" \"\" Recommended Diet. Freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried shrimps or krill, plus frozen and live brine shrimp, live Ghost Shrimp, and an occasional treat of a few live Black Worms. Puffers have uniquely powerful beaks, that they use to crack open snail shells, and puffers love to eat small aquatic snails such as rams horn snails. Puffers will also eat Crabs and Shrimp.\"\" \"\" Care and feeding: The Spotted Green Puffers are omnivores, though a large part of their diet is meaty foods. In their natural environment they will eat various invertebrates, crustaceans and mollusks, but they also eat some vegetation. They are not difficult to feed as they will usually eat a variety of flake, frozen, and live foods including shrimp, ghost shrimp (gut-loaded), bloodworms, freeze-dried krill, crabs, brine shrimp, and snails."

These are the genes. ”Dr Greg Elgar, Medical Research Council Human Genome Mapping Resource Centre, UK‘Sequencing of pufferfish genome will help scientists understand human disease - A poisonous fish, eaten as a delicacy in Japan, may hold the key to decoding the human genome, said MRC researchers in Cambridge today. An international consortium of scientists from Cambridge, California and Singapore have finished the first draft of the genome of the pufferfish (fugu rubripes). Although a lot of the human genome has been sequenced, much of it remains a mystery because of the difficulty in identifying genes, and the key DNA sequences needed to control them amongst a sea of intervening DNA. The pufferfish is only the second vertebrate animal genome to be sequenced and, like the mouse, has approximately the same number of genes as a human. Therefore, a particular gene in the fish may decide where fins are placed and what they look like, while a very similar gene sequence may be present in humans, but acts slightly differently to produce a leg. The great advantage of the pufferfish genome is that it is a staggering eight times more compact than the human. Four hundred and fifty million years of evolution have conserved vital gene sequences, without accumulating large stretches of DNA between them."

I am in the process of learning the hard way that a quarantine tank is absolutely necessary, and I would like to apologize for my fish keeping negligence in advance. <The vast majority of folks belong \"\"to this club\"\"; myself included> I purchased a Spotted Bristle-tooth Tang from my LFS three weeks ago and did not quarantine, again so sorry. The tang was doing very well in my 75 gallon FOWLR tank for the three weeks that I had it. Other tank mates are a Black and White Percula clownfish, one PJ Cardinal and two Banggai Cardinals. Woke up to find the tang dead on the sand bed and the fish had no apparent signs of any problem, and was eating/swimming fine the night before. I removed the deceased fish and observed the other tank mates for problems. All seemed well for the day, and then I noticed what seemed to be a heavy infestation of Ich on the clownfish."

This massive clam has been recorded at a maximum length of 4.5 feet (137 cm) and can weigh up to 734 lbs (Knop 1996) once full grown. This species is the True Giant Clam!This impressive clam species has long been popular as both a food source and a novelty. In the wild, its numbers have been greatly reduced because of over collection and hunting. However, the Giant Clam, along with its cousin the Derasa Clam Tridacna derasa, are the first aquacultured species of Tridacna clams. Today both of these giant clams are cultivated in captivity and supplied as a food source, but they are also readily available to the aquarist."

Occasionaly they will reach 3.5, but that's not common. Most are under 2 feet, but they can get as long as three. Much larger that a typical women's garter. Most garter snakes are under 60 cm (24 inches) long, but can be larger. Garter snakes generally do not grow to any great size, reaching about three feet with a very narrow girth. Garter snakes, due to their small size, are quick to heat up and cool down.

[ 1] Two angels might be kept in the same aquarium provided it is a large aquarium, they are properly acclimated as juveniles, and they have very different colouring and body shape. [ 2] However, because all Angelfish have essentially the same diet, mixing them is a feat that should be left to only advanced keepers. None are reef safe, and a potential owner should be aware that they need to have plenty of vegetable matter in their diet.

Species Name: Sphoeroides testudineus Linnaeus 1758Common Names: Checkered Puffer Botete Sapo (Spanish) Tamboríl Rayado (Spanish)Synonomy: Tetraodon testudineus Linnaeus 1758Species Description: The checkered puffer, Sphoeroides testudineus, is one of several fish species in Florida belonging to the family Tetradontidae, meaning \"\"four teeth\"\". Puffers have four tooth plates arranged in quadrants, with two teeth on the bottom and two on the top (Carpenter 2002). These teeth form a strong, heavy beak capable of cracking through hard prey such as mollusks and crustaceans. Puffers are named for their ability to swell by swallowing water or air when threatened. They have no spinous dorsal fin, absent or reduced scales, sandpapery denticles on various areas of the body, and a reduced gill opening. Identification of species is determined in part through color, pattern, and the presence and number of spines and fleshy tabs, or lappets, on the skin (Robins & Ray 1986). The checkered puffer is pale tan to yellowish with a polygonal or square network of lines centered around a bulls-eye pattern on the midback in front of the dorsal fin. Lines are dark gray to olive, with small, dark brown spots on cheeks and lower sides."

Full Answer It's important to keep the size of the fish in mind when looking to fill a fishbowl. Certain types of goldfish and betta fish typically don't grow to be much larger than 3 to 4 inches, which means that an average fishbowl can hold two fish at a time at most. Avoid using novelty or ornamental fishbowls for keeping fish, as they often are too small for even a single fish or contain harmful chemicals. When keeping fish in a fishbowl, there are some basic steps required to ensure the overall health and cleanliness of the fish."

Report abuse Transcript of Finding Nemo Final Exam Project By: Julie Bedson Movie Synopsis Ocean Enviorments and Eco systems Character Analysis Behind the Scenes While watching the movie, Finding Nemo, there were some good and bad depictions of the real ocean enviornment. Pro's- they made the movie as close to the real ocean environment as they could such as the reef fish all living close together in the coral reef environment. Con's- though they depicted Bruce's feeding frenzy accurately, people may think that any time sharks smell blood, they will attack anyone with that same demeanor and harshness that Bruce had, which is not true at all. They need to understand that this movie is depicted accurately as possible and they should be caring and considerate to these marine animals. Don't hunt them for food or for pleasure/sport. They should try to help out these animals by not fishing excessively and not taking fish out of their natural environment, Finding Nemo is based on true symbiotic relationships, habitats, and lifestyles in the real ocean ecosystem. Nemo, a clown fish, is the son of Marlin and his mate Coral, who was viciously attacked and killed by a barracuda in the beginning of the movie while trying to save her eggs. Nemo was the only egg left after the tragic attack and that's the reason why Marlin is extremely over-protective of his son. The movie, Finding Nemo, is about Nemo who gets captured by a diver on his first day of school after he swims out beyond the drop off and gets taken away from his dad and his home, the Great Barrier Reef, and ends up being placed in a fish tank belonging to P. Sherman (the diver) in his dentists' office, located in Sydney, Australia."

Ultimately I ended up reading through sparse scientific articles about Clea Helena so that I could present real information, rather than myth, half-truths, and straight up misinformation. Even the opening photograph demonstrates one of the myths commonly shared — that they won’t kill the snails you want in your tank. They might not CHOOSE to consume your favorite Mystery Snail, but they can and will kill snails several times their size. My first Mystery Snail was killed in just one hour by assassin snails. I have also read personal anecdotes from numerous individuals who have had snails they didn’t want killed assassinated by snails they thought would only kill pest snails. In addition this sign says that they are fine in unheated tanks, but the more scientific writings I read insisted that they’re actually more sensitive to cold tanks than the average snail. The Assassin Snail is sometimes called the Bumblebee Snail, and is often kept not for its snail-killing abilities, but for its own beauty and personality. The shell is a beautiful swirl of yellow and a rich dark-chocolate brown color. The body is a lighter tan color and this snail has a most interesting proboscis."

The threat of bioterrorism remains a reality worldwide, although of low probability, an attack would be a high-consequence event. Microbes are available to individuals with appropriate contacts and even many low-grade bacterial pathogens can severely affect health. Toxins provide bacteria with a system of defense that is often detrimental to humans and their versatility makes them potential tools of bioterrorism. It should be remembered that the aim of terrorism is not always to kill but rather to strike fear into people's lives. Importantly, no state can ever be fully prepared for a response and it is probable that no state ever could be. It is for this reason that biological agents are so attractive as weapons.

This species is very colorful, with bright pink or orange coloration and black spots. Interestingly, these colors are not associated with the shell, which is somewhat drab. Instead, the color comes from the snail’s soft tissue, which is almost always wrapped around the entire outside of the shell. Flamingo tongues are predators that specialize on eating soft corals. They are almost exclusively found on their preferred prey species – typically sea fans, whip corals, and other soft corals. As they slowly crawl along the bodies of their prey, they eat away the soft tissue, leaving only the coral’s skeleton behind. Like some sea slugs and other reef organisms, flamingo tongues incorporate chemicals from their prey into their soft tissue to provide a chemical defense against predation. The flamingo tongue’s bright colors serve as a warning of its poison to potential predators – a process known as aposometism. The flamingo tongue reproduces through internal fertilization, and the female lays her sticky eggs on the soft corals where she lives."

Causes and treatment for green stool By: Devon Andre | Colon And Digestive | Friday, May 06, 2016 - 04:00 PMHave you ever looked in the toilet and asked yourself, why is my poop green? Green stool may be scary to see, but the causes vary greatly from dietary causes to even discharged bile. More often than not, green poop is benign, so there isn’t much cause for concern. But before we explain more about green poop, let us explain why poop is typically brown. Brown poop is a result of leftovers mixed with dead red blood cells along with other waste from your digestive tract. Bile is typically a greenish yellow color and so the other waste that makes up your stool adds the darker hue. Normally, when your poop is an alternative color aside from brown, it is a result of not properly absorbing your food or because your food isn’t spending enough time in the digestive tract. For example, in case of diarrhea, products in the digestive tract are coming out too quickly, so it often isn’t the normal brown color you are used to."

Fogoros, MDUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Peter Cade/Getty Images A common stool color change, green poop can mean that you've been eating green vegetables (which are rich in chlorophyll) or green, blue, or purple food coloring, or it can be caused by any condition that leads to diarrhea or loose stools. Although stool is normally brown, the occasional green stool can fall within the normal range of stool colors. See your doctor if green stool (or another unusual stool color) is ongoing or if you have other symptoms, like fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or pain. What Are the Causes of Green Poop? Here are eight possible causes of green poop (whether it is dark, bright, light green, or floating): Green Foods Green poop can simply result from consuming meals with green vegetables, like spinach, kale, broccoli, Swiss chard, bok choy, beet greens, arugula, and watercress. It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong. Dark green, leafy vegetables are rich in chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their color. Virtually any chlorophyll-rich plant food can cause green-tinged stool if you eat enough of it, from avocados, green beans, celery, sugar peas, green peppers, Brussels sprouts, peas, asparagus, sprouts, zucchini, cucumbers, and romaine to green apples, honeydew, kiwi, pistachios, green grapes, hemp seeds, parsley, basil, jalapenos, and cilantro."

Tresca | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated February 09, 2018Share Pin Email Print Weekend Images Inc. / Getty Images What does it mean to have a normal bowel movement? Many people aren't sure if their bowel movements are \"\"normal,\"\" which is probably because bowel movements are a difficult topic to discuss, even with a physician. The truth is that there is no one complete definition or description of a normal bowel movement. Bowel movements are individual, and rather than one \"\"normal\"\" type of bowel movement that fits everyone, there is a spectrum of what would be considered in the range of normal. Instead, be on the lookout for any signs that a bowel movement is outside the personal range of normal, or that bowel movements have changed over time, and bring that up at a doctor's visit. Not Everyone Has a Bowel Movement Every Day It's a common belief that having a normal digestive system means having a daily bowel movement. However, this is not true for everyone. In fact, normal could be anything from having a bowel movement a few times a day to a few times a week. In other words, there is no hard and fast rule as to what is typical because it varies from person to person. The general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week."

"text": "\"How to Make Natural Purple, Teal (Blue-Green), & Fuchsia (Purple-Pink) Food Colorings {Using the Red Cabbage Method & the Blueberry Method}June 27, 2013 by Faith 20 Comments If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that yesterday I made natural food coloring. This is because I recently got the idea in my head that I absolutely had to make blue frosting. I’ll tell you all about why I needed it soon, but for now, here is a big hint…That is supposed to be a pirate flag atop that cupcake…but more on that in a later post! ( The very light pastel blue in some of the frosting in the cupcake above is from using natural red cabbage purple and teal dyes; the deeper purple color in some of the frosting is from using natural blueberry dye. ) I didn’t want to go the normal route and grab a bottle of food coloring. Every beautiful shade of the rainbow is available in nature, and I thought why not utilize it? How hard could it be to make a natural dye? I did a little research online and I came across an article for Homemade Natural Blue Food Coloring on Whole New Mom. Not only is she an amazing lady, but her food coloring looked pretty wonderful and I thought, What the heck?! I’ll give it a whirl. ("

"text": "\"Novices' Guide to Wings and Wing Feathers On most species of duck there are some iridescent secondary feathers in an area called the Speculum. The colour of Speculum feathers is one method where the duck species can be identified from; Common Teal and Green-winged Teal: Iridescent green edged with buff, Blue-winged Teal: Iridescent green, Crested Duck and Bronze-winged Duck: Iridescent purple-bronze, edged white, Pacific Black Duck: Iridescent green, edged light buff, Mallard: Iridescent purple-blue with white edges, American Black Duck: Iridescent violet bordered in black and may have a thin white trailing edge, Northern Pintail: Iridescent green in male and brown in female, both are white on the trailing edge, Gadwall: Both sexes have white inner secondaries, Yellow-billed Duck: Iridescent green or blue, bordered white. The primary (outer wing feathers) & secondary (inner wing feathers) feathers and tail feathers are often referred to as Quills and are typically used for the wings and tails on Wet Flies. The main difference between wing and tail feathers is that tail quills have equal width barbs (feather fibres) on each side of the stem, whilst wing quills are uneven which helps distinguish left-side from right-side. When a pattern calls for tail feathers to be used for a wing, the equal barb widths of these quills allows for easy matching of the slips. The wings of traditional Wet \"\"winged\"\" Flies use a slip from a left wing quill and a slip from a right wing quill placed together. The two quills ideally should be from the same position on the wing, this is to ensure that they match not only in size but shape and curvature, and the slips for the pattern's wing taken from the same part of the feather, again to match shape and curvature. The Butcher Blue is one pattern that uses Speculum feathers from a Mallard for its wing. The location and recognition of Primaries and Secondaries feathers is often confusing to novice tyers. The primary feathers are those that are attached to the birds wingtip bones which correspond directly with human hands, and the secondary feathers are attached to the forelimb bones with are the equvalent to our forearms."

These ducks will also nibble along the water's surface, and they feed readily on land as well, but they very rarely dive below the water. The most common dabbling duck species is the mallard, but the northern pintail, American wigeon and different teals are also dabblers.02of 12Diving Duck When they all look so different, what makes ducks all the same?.

By Andrew Lind Jun 18, 2014, 8:15am EDTShare Noel Vasquez As the Los Angeles Kings and San Antonio Spurs hoisted the championship trophies of their respective leagues, one couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two franchises. The selfless mentality of the players was obvious, but the most visible characteristic the teams share are their silver and black colored uniforms. Professional teams with the same color palette as those in another sport have won championships within the same calendar year in the past, but aesthetic design in sports has never been more prominent than it is now. While it's very unlikely that the Chicago White Sox or Oakland Raiders can bring another championship to the silver and black squads, you'll see that some colors have all the luck.

Macaw Diseases The Green-winged or Red-and-green Macaws (Ara chloroptera) are the most common of the large macaws and are widespread in the forests of South America. However, in recent years their numbers have declined due to destruction of their habitat, illegal capturing for the pet trade, and hunting; and these magnificent birds are now considered in danger of extinction (CITES II). They are the second largest members of the macaw family - the largest being the Hyacinth Macaws. They have very powerful beaks that can generate a pressure of 500 up to 2,000+ psi (pounds per square inch). Humans, for example, average a bite force of around 150 psi. These large macaws are capable of crushing or opening even the hardest nuts and seeds. In flight, they can reach speeds of up to 35 miles / 56 km per hour. These majestic parrots have been kept in captivity as far back as the 17th century. Nowadays, these \"\"Gentle Giants\"\" – so named for their large size and gentle disposition - are well established in aviculture and are readily available as pets. They are fairly long-lived, capable of living 60 years or longer."

"text": "\"Dabblers vs. Divers Nothing is more fundamental to animals than eating. Consequently, it is possible to organize a view of animal communities on the basis of who eats what, where, and when, and who prevents whom from eating. Many ecologists think that closely related species tend to evolve strategies that minimize how much they compete for food. Such \"\"resource partitioning\"\" has been the subject of numerous investigations into the foraging behavior of birds. Not all species of waterfowl are highly competitive for food during breeding. Some, including geese and eiders that nest in the Far North, have minimal foraging requirements when on their breeding grounds because they build up sufficient stores of fat during the winter or when visiting their staging areas during migration. Other migratory species, however, such as diving and dabbling ducks that breed in the pothole region of the northern prairies, wait until they arrive at their breeding grounds to meet the bulk of their dietary demands and may often compete for food. The shallow potholes (small ponds) they use during breeding formed during alternating periods of glaciation and semiarid conditions. The water in the pools continually fluctuates in depth and salinity, and consequently in the size of the resident communities of plants and animals that can be supported. These pools have provided ideal conditions for studying the behavior of these ducks in detail."

"text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Reference: Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Causes & Sources By Marc Lallanilla | February 10, 2015 07:36pm ETMOREBehind the struggle to address global warming and climate change lies the increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. A greenhouse gas is any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that is capable of absorbing infrared radiation, thereby trapping and holding heat in the atmosphere. By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which ultimately leads to global warming. Solar radiation and the greenhouse effect Global warming isn't a new study in science. The basics of the phenomenon were worked out by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. His paper, published in the Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, was the first to quantify the contribution of carbon dioxide to the greenhouse effect. The sun bombards Earth with enormous amounts of radiation, which strike Earth's atmosphere in the form of visible light, plus ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and other types of radiation that are invisible to the human eye. About 30 percent of the radiation striking the Earth is reflected back out to space by clouds, ice and other reflective surfaces. The remaining 70 percent is absorbed by the oceans, the land and the atmosphere, according to NASA. As they absorb radiation and heat up, the oceans, land and atmosphere release heat in the form of IR thermal radiation, which passes out of the atmosphere into space."

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Ozone Layer Ozone is a gas that occurs naturally in our atmosphere. Most of it is concentrated in the ozone layer, a region located in the stratosphere several miles above the surface of the Earth. Although ozone represents only a small fraction of the gas present in the atmosphere, it plays a vital role by shielding humans and other life from harmful ultraviolet light from the Sun. Human activities in the last several decades have produced chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which have been released into the atmosphere and have contributed to the depletion of this important protective layer. When scientists realized the destructive effect these chemicals could have on the ozone layer, international agreements were put in place to limit such emissions. As a result, it is expected that the ozone layer will recover in the coming decades. Ozone is also a greenhouse gas in the upper atmosphere and, therefore, plays a role in Earth's climate. The increases in primary greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, may affect how the ozone layer recovers in coming years."

As sunlight (mostly UV and visible light) heats the earth, longer wavelengths are radiated or emitted, i.e infrared light. Infrared active molecules, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb infrared light causing these molecules to vibrate. High concentrations of these vibrating molecules in the gaseous atmosphere provides for energy transfer (kinetic) due to vibrational collision. Because temperature is simply a measure of kinetic energy in matter, an increase in vibrational energy of gaseous molecules results in a rise in air temperature. The global result is an increase in measured average ambient temperatures.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Are all greenhouse gases equally as effective at trapping heat? No, each gas differs and works more effectively compared to others."

"text": "\"Online Astronomy e Text: The Planets Atmospheric Effects on Planetary Surface Temperatures1. Clouds Reflect the Heat of the Sun Away From the Planet If a planet has no atmosphere all of the sunlight which strikes it reaches the surface, and usually 90% or more of that is absorbed and 10% or less is reflected back into space. However, if the planet has an atmosphere, particularly a thick, cloud-filled atmosphere, part of the sunlight will be reflected into space before even reaching the surface. The percentage of light reflected by a planet is referred to as its albedo, and subtracting that from 100% tells us how much energy is absorbed by and heats up the planet. As an example of how this works, the Earth and Moon are the same distance from the Sun (within 1/4% accuracy) and have the same amount of sunlight falling on them, but the Moon reflects only about 10% of the sunlight that it receives and absorbs about 90% of it, while the Earth, because of its extensive cloud cover, reflects about 30% of the sunlight that it receives and absorbs only about 70%. The temperature values for the Moon vary because the highlands are lighter and reflect more light and the maria are darker and reflect less light and the values for the Earth vary according to the topography affecting local weather, but these average values are adequate for a general comparison. As a result of the difference in absorption, the Earth only receives about 2/3 as much sunlight during the day as the Moon does, and the Moon becomes much hotter, reaching temperatures in excess of 250°F, which is over 150F° hotter than normal Earth temperatures. However, clouds are not the only factor that determines a planet's temperature, as you can tell by considering the case of Venus, which has an albedo of 65%, meaning that it only absorbs 35% of the sunlight which falls on it, which is only half as much as the Earth absorbs. If all other factors could be ignored this difference in heat absorption would completely make up for the fact that Venus is only 70% as far from the Sun as we are, and the Earth and Venus would have similar surface temperatures; and until the early 1970's, it was presumed that Venus had temperatures that weren't all that much higher than those of the Earth. In that era and earlier it was generally thought that surface conditions on Venus were similar to those in the Sahara (hot and dry), or the Amazon basin (hot and wet)."

The gases that contribute most to the Earth’s greenhouse effect are: water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and ozone. The contribution that a greenhouse gas makes to the greenhouse effect depends on the amount of it that it is the atmosphere and how much heat that particular gas absorbs and re-radiates. In descending order, the gases that contribute most to the Earth’s greenhouse effect are: water vapour (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), methane (CH 4) and ozone (O 3 ). In terms of the amount of heat they can absorb and re-radiate (known as their global warming potential or GWP), methane is 23 times more effective and nitrous oxide is 296 times more effective than carbon dioxide. However, there is much more carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere than there is methane or nitrous oxide."

Climate change, also called global warming, is the process of the Earth's climate gradually getting warmer. In addition to the Earth warming, rainfall patterns are changing, sea level is rising, and snow and ice are melting sooner in the spring - which reduces California's water supply. As global temperatures continue to rise, we'll see more changes in our climate and our environment. Many of these changes will cause problems for people, animals, and ecosystems. What is Causing Global Warming? Scientists believe that the release of greenhouse gases by human-related activities such as burning fossil fuels, like oil (which is used to make gasoline and diesel) and coal (mainly used to make electricity), is causing most of the warming. Another cause is cutting down forests, since trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases in the air. How is it Climate Change Affecting Us?

As is the case with anything involving Earth's atmosphere, the full story is complicated. However, the basic idea is fairly straightforward. Let's take a look at two descriptions of the greenhouse effect; the first is simpler than the second. You can decide which is most suitable for your students. A Simple Explanation of the Greenhouse Effect Visible light from the Sun arrives at the top of Earth's atmosphere. As the light enters the atmosphere, some of it is scattered by air molecules or reflected from white clouds back into space. Since air is mostly transparent to visible light, much of the light that isn't reflected back into space goes through the atmosphere to Earth's surface. Some of the light that makes it to the surface is also reflected back into space (especially if the surface is bright, as is the case when snow or ice covers the ground). However, since the average albedo of Earth's surface is around 15%, most of the light that makes it to the surfaces is absorbed, warming our planet."

Hopefully there is something which follows that will help you understand this complex subject. The greenhouse effect usually refers to a net increase in the Earth’s surface temperature due to the fact that the atmosphere both absorbs and emits infrared radiation. ( Our miniscule enhancement of the natural greenhouse effect with carbon dioxide emissions, and its possible role in global warming, is a separate issue). This GHE temperature increase is frequently quoted as being around 60 deg. F, thus keeping the Earth from being an ice planet, since its average surface temperature is somewhere around 59 or 60 deg. F. This 60 deg. F warming attributable to the GHE is actually incorrect; the greenhouse effect on surface temperature, if left to its own devices, would actually be at least twice that strong…more like 140 deg F average surface temperature…but most of that theoretical surface temperature rise is short-circuited by convective heat loss from the surface caused by convective air currents, in turn caused by the greenhouse effect, which also largely creates the weather we experience. That’s right – without the greenhouse effect, we would not have weather as we know it."

In fact, without the greenhouse effect the Earth's average global temperature would be much colder and life on Earth as we know it would not be possible. 3 The difference between the Earth's actual average temperature 14° C (57.2° F) and the expected effective temperature just with the Sun's radiation -19° C (-2.2° F) gives us the strength of the greenhouse effect, which is 33° C. 2The greenhouse effect is a natural process that is millions of years old. It plays a critical role in regulating the overall temperature of the Earth. The greenhouse effect was first discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1827, experimentally verified by John Tyndall in 1861, and quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896."

"text": "The Earth’s climate is changing rapidly. Scientists trying to find out what’s causing climate change work like detectives, gathering evidence to rule out some suspects and to ascertain just who is responsible. It’s clear, based on over a century of scientific investigation, that humans are responsible for most of the climate change we’ve seen over the last 150 years. Humans are not the only suspects. The climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history, well before humans evolved. The Sun is the primary driver of the climate. Roughly speaking, global temperatures rise when more energy from the Sun enters the atmosphere than returns to space through the atmosphere. The climate cools any time more energy returns to space than comes in from the Sun. While humans can influence that balance, other factors, from continental drift and changes in the shape of the Earth’s orbit to variations in the Sun’s activity and phenomena like El Niño, can all influence the climate. Considering the pace of climate change today, scientists can rule out most of those suspects: some happen too slowly to explain current climate change, while others move in small cycles, not long trends, and others only influence the climate in part of the planet."

The native range of the eastern gray squirrel overlaps with that of the fox squirrel ( Sciurus niger ), with which it is sometimes confused, although the core of the fox squirrel's range is slightly more to the west. The eastern gray squirrel is found from New Brunswick to Manitoba, south to East Texas and Florida. [ 1] Breeding eastern gray squirrels are found in Nova Scotia, but whether this population was introduced or came from natural range expansion is not known. [ 5] It has also been introduced into Ireland, [6] Britain, Italy, South Africa, and Australia (where it was extirpated by 1973). [ 1]Eastern grey squirrels in Europe are a concern because they have displaced some of the native squirrels there. In 1966, this squirrel was also introduced to Vancouver Island in Western Canada in the area of Metchosin, and has spread widely from there."

You can also get squirrels out of buildings with spring door one-way exclusion devices. The three of these are shown below: Read my squirrel trapping guide for more info. This website has several different articles regarding catching squirrels in many different situations, including squirrels in the attic, in the chimney, and information about squirrel prevention and squirrels damaging trees. How To Catch Squirrels In a Cage Trap: First, you need a small cage, no more than 18 inches long, and 5 inches tall/wide. Set the trap in a good area where the squirrels go, preferably off the ground. I bolt traps onto trees, fences, and roofs of houses, as seen in the above photograph. Use a long screwdriver and washers to fix the trap to the surface. Be sure it's secure and doesn't rattle! Be sure the trap is in the shade, or the squirrel may die of heat stroke and dehydration, very quickly."

"text": "Squirrel monkeys play an important ecosystem role in Central and South America; they're an important part of the diet of some predators, and they control populations of insects by preying on them. Squirrel monkeys spend most of their time playing and foraging in the trees, but they sometimes head down to the ground. Although not considered endangered, squirrel monkey numbers are decreasing, due in part to human interference in their ecosystems. Where They Live Squirrel monkeys live in primary and secondary forests in countries such as Costa Rica, Brazil, Panama and Guyana. A primary forest is one filled with old growth, and a secondary forest is one recovering from devastation, such as from a fire or massive tree harvesting. Secondary forests are those still developing, meaning they typically don't have the same resources, such as mature trees and animal populations, as primary forests have. Squirrel monkeys aren't picky eaters, which helps them survive in a variety of forest locations. What Eats Them As part of a thriving ecosystem, squirrel monkeys aren't at the top of the food chain. Several animals rely on these monkeys for survival, hunting them out of trees or waiting for the monkeys to venture onto the ground. Harpy eagles and other raptors commonly hunt squirrel monkeys, as do snakes and large cats such as jaguars."

Furthermore, it has a wing span of five and a half to eight feet long. Another interesting fact is that the bald eagles follow reversed sexual dimorphism. this mean that the females are actually going to grow to be larger than the males. The American Black Bear This bear weighs from 220 pounds to 594 pounds but is still able to run up to 25 miles an hour which is very fast considering the weight.

There is evidence that banks of Liffey, Dublin’s main river, were inhabited as early as 140 AD when the settlement was called Eblana. However, it was when Vikings sailed up Liffey in 841 AD and established their settlement, Dyflin, downstream from Gaelic river crossing Átha Cliath, that it became significant. Dublin City in the 21st century is a thriving modern capital city – yet it is truly amazing how much wildlife there is still here. Our capital is a city of over one million inhabitants, according to 2006 statistics. The urban center can be defined as the area inside M50 motorway, which has highest population density in Ireland, with an average of 4,304 persons per square kilometer. Ireland, because of its geographical location as an island in the north-west of Europe, has quite a small biodiversity of plant and animals relative to larger mainland European countries.

Researchers from the British Trust for Ornithology and Natural England examined the impact of grey squirrels on 38 bird species across the country. They found some evidence that grey squirrels may locally suppress the populations of some species. But they do not appear to cause the birds any widespread or lasting harm. The findings of the study, which contradict the view that grey squirrels have caused declines in British bird numbers over the past 40 years, are published in the Journal of Ornithology. Grey squirrels are very unlikely to have driven observed declines in woodland birds in recent years Dr Stuart Newson BTO Senior research ecologist It has long been known that grey squirrels, an invasive species to the UK, predate on bird eggs and will also kill and eat fledglings. Red squirrels, the UK's native squirrel species, do the same. Over the past four decades, many wild bird species have declined in abundance in the UK. Many of these declines have been associated with changes to agricultural practice. But it has often been argued that predators, such as grey squirrels, are also killing off native birds."

"text": "Wildlife Education - Information, Advice, and Techniques for the Safe Removal of Squirrels from Attics Squirrel Diseases and Health Risks Are Squirrels A Health Risk To Humans? Contrary to popular belief squirrels do not pose much of a health risk to humans. Anecdotal evidence may suggest that humans can catch rabies from squirrels, but, this is not confirmed by any reputable research. One of the ways squirrels may be a health risk is because of their droppings. In common with other rodents squirrels take a spray approach with both their feces and urine which may pose the risk of salmonella infection to anyone coming into contact with it. Once you have successfully dealt with your squirrel infestation it is essential that you undertake a deep clean of the whole area used by the rodents – this may also involve replacing any insulation materials. The primary squirrel health risk is linked to ticks and fleas which squirrels tend to be infested with. Ticks carry the danger of tick fever and, once carried into your home by squirrels, may also infest your household pets. Fleas are also associated with squirrels and may also take up residence in your family pet – and once a flea or tick infestation has begun it is notoriously difficult to get rid of as these microscopic insects take up residence in carpets, soft furnishings and furniture. Rabies Although any warm-blooded mammal (that's all mammals, by the way) can get rabies, some animals just aren't really very susceptible, nor are they common vectors of the disease (likely to spread it)."

Omnivore ( / ˈ ɒ m n ɪ v ɔːr /) is a consumption classification for animals that have the capability to obtain chemical energy and nutrients from materials originating from plant and animal origin. Often, omnivores also have the ability to incorporate food sources such as algae, fungi, and bacteria into their diet as well. [ 3] [4] [5]Omnivores come from diverse backgrounds that often independently evolved sophisticated consumption capabilities. For instance, dogs evolved from primarily carnivorous organisms ( Carnivora) while pigs evolved from primarily herbivorous organisms ( Artiodactyla ). [ 6] [7] [8] What this means is that physical characteristics are often not reliable indicators of whether an animal has the ability to obtain energy and nutrients from both plant and animal matter. Owing to the wide range of entirely unrelated organisms independently evolving the capability to obtain energy and nutrients from both plant and animal materials, no generalizations about the anatomical features of all omnivores can realistically be made. [ 9]The variety of different animals that are classified as omnivores can be placed into further categories depending on their feeding behaviors. Frugivores include maned wolves and orangutans; [10] [11] insectivores include swallows and pink fairy armadillos; [12] [13] granivores include large ground finches and humans. ("

Interestingly, unlike many hybrid animals on this list, grolar bears are known to occur naturally in the wild. Some experts predict that polar bears may be driven to breed with grizzly bears at an increased frequency due to global warming, and the fact that polar bears are being forced from their natural habitats on the polar ice.

Avoiding an Encounter Bear Encounters Bear Attacks Bear Pepper Spray What Should I Do if I See a Bear? Seeing a bear in the wild is a special treat for any visitor to a national park. While it is an exciting moment, it is important to remember that bears in national parks are wild and can be dangerous. Their behavior is sometimes unpredictable. Although rare, attacks on humans have occurred, inflicting serious injuries and death. Each bear and each experience is unique; there is no single strategy that will work in all situations and that guarantees safety. Most bear encounters end without injury. Following some basic guidelines may help to lessen the threat of danger."

Believe it or not these are not the first lines of terrible jokes, but real scientific questions with real living answers. Hybrid animals are the offspring produced when two animals of closely related - but different - species breed. The young produced will usually not be fertile, and so hybrid species are not normally seen in the wild. In order for more of these hybrid animals to exist the original two species must be cross-bred again. These cross species pairings rarely occur in the wild, and are more often the result of cross breeding in order to produce animals with useful qualities or due to unusual interactions in rescues or zoos. Take a look at these 8 real life incredible animal hybrids.1.

Regards Harlan Rice Topreply August 7, 2007 - 2:09pm #2Robert Harris animals role in the ecosystem. Hi Harlan,The Polar Bear is currently the top preditor above the Brooks Range in the Arctic and feeds primarily on seals. Polar Bears will also scavenge other dead sea animals such as whales. The Arctic fox is primarily a scavenger and will also feed on bird eggs, nestlings, voles and ground squirrels. It is hard to predict what will happen if the Arctic continues to warm. Grizzly Bears and red foxes have been seen duing the summer north of the Brooks range. These are potential competitors for the Polar Bear and Arctic Fox. If the ice breaks up earlier it is possible that more Polar Bears and Arctic foxes will be found on land instead of the ice."

Like black bears, grizzly bears are predominantly omnivorous as they feed on plants, insects, and animals. Grizzly bears are basically scavengers by nature and they spend many hours while probing for food. The bulk of the bear’s diet is composed of tubers, berries, roots, grasses, vegetation, and small insects. While bears primarily rely on plants matter they are very adaptable and can consume variety of foods if required. Grizzly bears also eat carrion, fish, and rodents. They’re also known to consume waste products or human food. They have to be adaptable since the food is not available all round the year which is why grizzly bears need to browse their habitats to find their food. The movement and distribution of grizzly bears are becoming predictable."

Most polar bears ( Ursus maritimus ) predominantly eat ringed and bearded seals. For the reason that polar bears inhabits all throughout Arctic regions where millions of seals reside, they do not find it hard to prey such animals. One of the most famous hunting methods polar bears employ is known as Still-hunting. These species have an exceptional smelling sense in that they detect the seals’ breathing. The first attack is mainly on the skull of the seal which is crushed under an immense biting force of polar bears. These bears stalk their prey within a distance of about 100 yards (91 metres) and then crouch. There is an ancient belief about polar bears is that they tend to shield their noses with their paws whilst hunting."

"text": "Bearings / Wheel Bearings Aug 20, 2010 12:00 am WHEEL BEARING Q&A: What, When & Why Share Tweet Print Email Andrew Markel, Editor, Brake & Front End Magazine View bio How much load can a wheel bearing carry? On a typical passenger vehicle weighing around 3,400 pounds, each pair of front-wheel bearings, as well as the rear-wheel or axle bearings, support around 850 pounds, depending on the weight balance and driveline configuration. If it’s a 6,000-pound SUV, each bearing might carry about 1,500 pounds. This load is concentrated on the relatively small bearing surfaces. These loads do not even take into account the dynamic loads produced by cornering. These loads that are put on the bearing are called thrust and radial loads. These are the forces the bearing must endure when the vehicle is cornering or braking. Another force that can not be measured is the force of impacts from potholes and curbs. Besides reducing friction, what else does wheel bearing grease/lube do? Lubricants aid in carrying away heat, protecting bearing surfaces from corrosion and reducing friction."

We only see this from him during breeding season, typically at the beginning of the season as hormone levels are building, and then just before breeding when Chinook is not submitting, and then after the breeding cycle is done and Chinook is again not submitting. We have observed that male polar bears go into a breeding set hormonally before the females do, and it lasts longer as well. In the wild, a male would breed with a female and then go find another willing mate; thus, a good reason for their season to last longer. The frustrated walk has been observed in the wild with both polar bears and brown bears in some situations. Luckily, it would appear that in honor of Valentine’s Day Chinook is ready to breed, and our boy is finally losing some of his frustration!Jo Anne Simerson is a senior keeper at the San Diego Zoo.

A: Traditionally, the parents of the groom take care of a few of the expenses including: the marriage license, officiant's fee, corsages, boutonnieres, the bride's bouquet, groomsmen gifts, liquor, and the reception DJ, band or other musical entertainment. And the bride's parents pay for everything else. Then again, today's guidelines of who pays for what are very flexible—many times, the parents of the bride and groom will split the wedding expenses in half, or sometimes into thirds, depending on whether the couple pitches in.

Answer by L Brohm Confidence votes 8.7Kn/a Parents of the Groom Traditionally, contribute financially to the following: -Purchasing engagement ring/bride's wedding ring -Rehearsal Dinner the night before the wedding -Honeymoon It would be very offensive to the bride's family for the groom or his family to offer to pay for anything else, unless it is under very special circumstances. The groom's family is NOT obligated under any circumstance to pay for alcohol, except the alcohol at the rehearsal dinner! If it is agreed that alcohol be served at the reception, it goes on the bride's parents' tab! Parents of the Bride The bride's parents may be responsible for hosting the wedding, if they will be completely financially responsible for the event. In some cases, the father of the bride escorts his daughter down the aisle alone, but in other instances or in religious ceremonies, both parents may accompany the bride. In all cases, it's her preference. The mother of the bride may help fund or contribute to the planning of the bridal shower if the Maid of Honor needs assistance. These parents may also foot the cost of an engagement party or dinner to meet the groom's family. The old tradition is that the Groom's parents should pay for the alcohol."

"text": "\"Weddings -- who pays for what? By Editors of Martha Stewart Weddings Updated 9:00 AM ET, Fri October 18, 2013Story highlights Rules are meant to be broken, but guidelines can be helpful Many brides and grooms opt to pay their own expenses Parents often want to pitch in, and tradition dictates certain roles All parties should be happy with their level of contribution Today, most people believe the couple should pay for their own wedding, especially if they have lived on their own for some time. Of course, parents often want to pitch in. Contributions should be negotiated according to willingness and ability, but the traditional divisions will offer some more guidance. The Engagement Party Traditionally, the bride's parents (although anyone can host) will throw an engagement party for their daughter and her husband-to-be, for the express purpose of welcoming him and introducing friends and extended family to the groom and his family and friends. Although this isn't a requirement, it can be a wonderful way to get future wedding guests together to establish a rapport before the event -- familiar faces always make for a more convivial affair. The Engagement Announcements Long before the reception takes place or is planned, the parents of the bride are responsible for sending (and paying for) the engagement announcements to the local newspapers. If the groom is from another town, or his parents live outside the local paper's distribution area, the bride's parents should find out whether the groom's family would like the announcement to appear in their hometown paper as well. Traditional Roles for the Bride and Her Family Traditionally, the bride and her family are responsible for all planning expenses, the bride's attire, all floral arrangements, transportation on the wedding day, photo and video fees, travel and lodgings for the officiant if he comes from out of town, lodging for the bridesmaids (if you have offered to help with this expense), and all the expenses of the reception. The bride personally pays for the flowers and gifts for her attendants, the groom's ring, and a present for him."

"text": "\"How much should you Pay for a Thai Dowry Getting married in Thailand can be both a cheap and an expensive affair. The Thai Dowry is the most expensive part of getting married and as Thai people see it, the Dowry is the payment made to the parents who spent years raising their daughter, it is considered that once the daughter goes off with the husband that she is no apart of his family and little to do with theirs. The big but in this case is if the husband happens to be a foreigner. For foreigners however it's typically the case that the parents of the bride fork the bill for the wedding and that the mans family typically spends little, this is because being fair, it's more often than not that the bride is the one who wants the special day to be extra special and not the groom, so in most cases it's the bride and the brides family that pays the cost of the wedding. In Thailand being true also that the woman wants the fancy wedding and it's true, but the groom has to pay for it! Hence the dowry which is to offset the cost of the wedding. These days however the dowry is more common as a keepsake of the past and that typically the dowry paid is more often than not returned to the groom and the grooms family as a sign of good faith between the families. The dowry is typically displayed as gold bullion, jewelry and cash at the time of the wedding and returned once all the festivities are over. Greedy Thai parents however will not return one cent of the Thai Dowry and will keep everything that was originally agreed upon, not only this days after the wedding it's been said that the brides family demand more money and ongoing maintenance fees for the family. This is bogus and if you've married into a family that does this then good luck, they shouldn't be asking anything and in fact you shouldn't even see them, you need to be strong and simply say no, what they are asking for and demanding is wrong and against Thai culture, they are simply taking advantage of you because you are a Farang."

The You & Your Wedding 21st Century Bride survey of over 2,300 brides explored wedding trends across the UK revealed that 50% of brides expect to go over budget to get the wedding they want; whilst 51% are willing to make cutbacks in other areas of their spending to pay for it, 20% of brides would borrow money rather than compromise on their big day plans. Only 22% of the brides surveyed were prepared to cut their budget due to the economic climate. The average cost of a wedding in 2014 was £20,983, down from £21,939 (4.5%) in 2012, but up almost 5% from 2009 (£20,020). Over the same period, the average numbers of guests has fallen by 9%, from 101 in 2009 to 92 in 2014, whilst the average spend per guest has risen by 14%, from £198 per person in 2009 to £226 in 2014. Maxine Briggs, You & Your Wedding Editor, says: “ Couples are taking their wedding day very seriously and want to throw the party of a lifetime. Less guests means more lavish spending on the ones that make the cut. There is definitely a move towards more one-upmanship and high profile weddings such as the recent Kardashian’s is setting the bar even higher. I think brides need to remember to keep the marriage as the focal point – sure splash out and have a great day but there are ways of keeping it real and keeping on budget. Friends and family will remember a day filled with love and laughter rather than the colour-coordinated chair backs !”"

They also pay for their own wedding attire, travel and lodgings, and gift to the couple. Today, these traditions are not strictly adhered to as expenses are shared by those best able to pay.

It provides a guideline for the proper use of wording on your wedding invitations, and a clean and understandable way to convey information to each guest. Etiquette is merely a guideline for tradition, and not a hard fast rule. A bride and groom should take proper wedding etiquette into consideration when planning their wedding, but remember to always do what is most comfortable for them in the end. Remember that there are no silly questions when it comes to etiquette - there is typically an answer and a rule to just about every detail in your wedding. Dissecting The Wedding Invitation Language When writing a wedding invitation, you will want to have the following information listed, in the order shown… invitation request event date time location reception The Invitation Line The invitation line will list who is hosting (paying for) the wedding. The Request Line This is where you will request the guest’s presence at your event. Remember, if you are using the traditional wording, “Request the honor of your presence”, honor can be spelled as “honor” or “honour”. “ Honour” is the British spelling of the word, which is considered to be more formal. The Event Line This is where you indicate that the invitation is for a wedding, and list the names of the couple to be wed."

"text": "Wedding Gifts from the Groom's Parents By Lisa Marie Source When a son is getting married, parents of the groom often want to get their child and his new wife a special gift. Although there are guidelines on what the parents of the groom are supposed to pay for during a wedding, there are no real rules of etiquette regarding gifts they should get the new couple. Most couples have a wedding registry filled with items they prefer as gifts, but most parents choose to get their child something more special. Whether the groom's parents have a small or large budget, there are several gift ideas parents of the groom can utilize when looking for the perfect wedding gift. Wedding Gift Ideas Parents of the groom who want to give a special wedding gift to their son and his bride should give the gift to the couple together either at the rehearsal dinner, the morning of the ceremony on in the few days leading up the ceremony. Money Although money seems like an impersonal gift, it is an appropriate from the groom's parents, and one that can be very helpful for the new couple. Once the groom's parents have decided upon an amount they are comfortable with, the gift can be given just as money for the couple to use to get on their feet, or for a more specific purpose. For example, the parents may give money with the intention of the couple paying for the honeymoon, or using it as a down payment for a new home. Heirloom A family heirloom is another gift that is an appropriate way to celebrate the start of a new union. Items that have been passed down from generation to generation within the family can be given to the couple."

I've gotten different answers to this question. Sheila Wedding Expert Reply: According to the Catholic Rites of Marriage, the procession should be as follows: Lectors, and altar servers go first, followed by the priest, and then the bride and bridegroom. Their parents and two witnesses may escort the bride and groom as dictated by local custom. However, in the United States, the bride is usually escorted by her father with the bride on the left and the father on the right. I suggest consulting with the priest who will be officiating the wedding ceremony. Each parish may have its preferred wedding procession tradition.

I’ll leave the technical tips of photographing a wedding to the pros – but as someone who has been asked to photograph numerous friends and family weddings – here are a few suggestions. Wedding Photography Tips1. Create a ‘Shot List’One of the most helpful tips I’ve been given about Wedding Photography is to get the couple to think ahead about the shots that they’d like you to capture on the day and compile a list so that you can check them off. This is particularly helpful in the family shots. There’s nothing worse than getting the photos back and realizing you didn’t photograph the happy couple with grandma!2. Wedding Photography Family Photo Coordinator I find the family photo part of the day can be quite stressful. People are going everywhere, you’re unaware of the different family dynamics at play and people are in a ‘festive spirit’ (and have often been drinking a few spirits) to the point where it can be quite chaotic. Get the couple to nominate a family member (or one for each side of the family) who can be the ‘director’ of the shoot."

The global population of this bird is estimated at 100,000,000 individuals and does not show signs of decline that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. For this reason, the current evaluation status of the Northern Cardinal is Least Concern.

By Ken Keffer Johann Schumacher Design Gray catbirds love oranges. Put one out in your yard to attract them!When was the last time you added a new feeder to your backyard? Or put out a special treat for the birds? Even if you’ve been feeding backyard birds for years, there are probably a few things you haven’t tried yet. And adding new things is the best way to attract a wider variety of species to your space. Give one of these fun food options a try and see what you can attract. Peanut Butter I know many folks who have stopped buying suet cakes and now make their own, with peanut butter as the base. Others have made the switch from feeding peanuts, either in or out of the shell, to offering peanut butter instead."

"text": "What exactly are clean and unclean foods in the Bible? God has created a wide variety of things for man's consumption and health. He, however, did not make ALL animals fit to be used for man's diet. Because our heavenly Father wants us to be in the peak of health, He has told us within the pages of Holy Writ which things he created are GOOD (or clean) for us to eat and which are BAD (or unclean). We find this critical information in the books of Leviticus (chapter 11) and Deuteronomy (chapter 14). In spite of what many believers think, the Bible does not, in the Old or New Testaments, abolish or do away with God's laws about foods that he created either to be eaten (clean) or avoided (unclean). In the seventh chapter of Mark, the dispute between the Pharisees and Christ did not concern, at all, what could or could not be eaten. It involved whether his followers could eat a few grains of food without having to wash, ceremonially, their hands several times! Peter's vision of Acts 10 commonly thought to make all unclean meats clean to eat, was God's way of conveying to bigoted Peter that no human was worth less than others were. Paul the apostle also upheld the Biblical laws regarding what is good and not good to eat as still being valid for believers (1Timothy 4:1 - 3)."

It breeds in marshes and open bogs in eastern Russia, and parts of Mongolia and northeastern China. It winters in estuaries and other coastal habitats in eastern Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australasia, and has been recorded as a vagrant in Alaska. This species is threatened by destruction of important tidal mud flats used during migration and on wintering grounds and has shown recent declines because of this. The Far Eastern Curlew has an estimated population of 20,000-49,999 individuals and a conservation rating of Endangered.

"text": "51 Comments If you enjoyed our animated map of bird migration but wondered which species is which—here’s help. This is the same animation but each species is represented by a number—so you can find the name of any migrant that catches your eye by looking it up in the list below. It’s a crowded map so we apologize that some numbers will be hard to read and follow—but we still enjoy watching species like Bobolink (#20), Solitary Sandpiper (#88), Prothonotary Warbler (#76), Lazuli Bunting (#55), Purple Sandpiper (#78) and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (#114) to name a few. Browse through the numbers and let us know which migrant’s route is your favorite. See below to match a number to its corresponding species. Numbers show each species’ average location on January 1.

"text": "\"home :: attracting indigo buntings How to Attract Indigo Buntings (Passerina cyanea)These small bright birds make their way north from as south as Central America during the spring, and settle into much of the U. S. (east of the Great Plains) and southern parts of Canada for the spring and summer. They prefer temperate as well as tropical habitats. They live in large, open brushy spaces like overgrown fields, open woodlands, and abandoned farmlands and they also make their homes in citrus orchards and swamps. These birds are often confused with Blue Grosbeaks, but there a few ways of distinguishing between them. Grosbeaks are larger birds; they also have larger beaks than the Bunting's sparrow-like beaks, have a light brown spot on their shoulders, and have bars on their wings. They are in the finch family and a cousin of the Cardinal. The males are as brightly colored as a Cardinal, except they are a deep blue. They are about 4-5\"\" long and as for coloring, the females have dark brown upperparts and medium brown bellies with bluish stripes on their tails (mainly younger females), while the males have that rich indigo plumage with darker blue crowns and blackish wings and tails. They have short beaks similar to sparrows. What Indigo Buntings Eat Indigos like a variety of food, including seeds, nuts, berries, insects, mosquitoes, flies, aphids, small spiders, buds, rice, goldenrod, thistle, grasses, and herbs."

"text": "There are several reasons for getting rid of chipmunks, not the least of which is their carnivorous desire for bird eggs and hatchlings (a somewhat rare behavior). Apart from their appetite for the young of another animal, chipmunks are considered a beneficial animal because they are apt at spreading seeds. If you’ve ever been hit in the head with a pinecone or found a stash of expensive bird seed under your porch, you know what I’m talking about. A lot of people don’t know this, but chipmunks are actually omnivores, making them beneficial in more ways than one. They are the janitors of the squirrel family, feeding on decaying meat, pestiferous bugs, grubs, seeds, and anything else that happens to be lying about. Chipmunks are voracious scavengers, making them the ideal animal to have around when your neck of the woods needs some tidying up. I’m not trying to convince you that you don’t have a chipmunk problem; I’m just trying to help you understand some of the good habits chipmunks possess. “ Good” relatively speaking, of course. Chipmunks have their bad habits as well. Chipmunks tend to seek out warmth and burrow beneath structures where they probably shouldn’t be."

"text": "Feeding Wild Birds Birdwatching Tips Mealworms Nutritious Food for Birds By Melissa Mayntz Updated 01/30/18Share Pin Emailtheilr /Flickr/CC by-SA 2.0Many birds eat insects, and adding mealworms to your feeders is easier than you think. Whether fresh or dried, these insects are a nutritious snack that will be especially appreciated by summer birds with hungry nestlings to feed. About Mealworms Mealworms are the larvae of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, also called the darkling beetle or tenebrio beetle. The larvae may also be called yellow mealworms or golden grubs, and they're pure gold for the birds that eat them. With a size from 1-1.5 inches long, these insects are a rich source of protein that is necessary for muscle development in birds. At the same time, however, they are low in calcium and should not be the exclusive food offered at feeders. Mealworm beetles do not fly and the insects do not pose a threat to humans. There have been some reports of breathing problems similar to asthma, however, when discarded molts and other debris from raising mealworms is allowed to accumulate excessively. Birds That Eat Mealworms Any insectivorous bird is likely to enjoy a treat of mealworms. Most passerines are at least partially insectivorous when they are feeding their chicks, since the protein of insects is essential for proper chick growth and development."

"text": "Click Here to buy Suet!GOT SUET? Why Suet Is Important to Birds and to Your Backyard Suet is a high energy formulation of animal fat and other ingredients to attract insect eating birds. Suet is a quick source of heat and energy for birds, who's metabolisms are set on fast forward. It traditionally has been used as a good substitute for the insects that birds usually feed upon but are not plentiful in cold weather. Suet can be presented all year long - the suet we offer is specially designed for year round feeding. BIRDS THAT ARE ATTRACTED TO SUETOffering suet in a wire cage or suet log is a low-maintenance bird feeder. You refill only once every week or so, you never need to scrub the feeder, and you can leave it in your yard year round. Presenting suet in your backyard will also attract a greater variety of birds for your enjoyment. Some of the backyard birds that enjoy suet include:- Woodpeckers - downy, hairy, red-bellied, red-headed, northern flickers, and pileated; - Chickadees, tits, nuthatches, brown creepers, Carolina wrens, tufted titmouse, Eurasian bullfinch and starlings; - Wrens, warblers, thrushes, brown creepers, brown thrashers, robins, orioles, cardinals, northern mockingbirds, catbirds, black-headed grosbeak, blackbirds and blue jays. HOW TO PRESENT SUET TO YOUR BIRDSPresenting suet to your backyard birds can be as easy as putting a suet cake in a mesh bag or smearing it into the bark of a tree or log."

They also have a long tail and a pointed crest of feathers on the top of their heads. Males are bright red all over except for a large, black mask on their face. The mask covers their eyes, goes around their beaks, and covers their throats so that it looks like a black bib. Females are light brown with a reddish crest, wings, and tails. Females have a very small, black mask and bib. Males are slightly larger than females. Young cardinals look similar to females, but they have a gray-black bill and have less red coloration."

Ed Lukehart shot this hog at 146 yards on Dwayne’s second ranch about an hour from Okeechobee, Florida this weekend. If you watch the video it will give a feel for what it is like to walk up on the hogs. Sometimes you jump them and they charge at you instead of running away. No video of that yet. Wild hogs travel in groups, with some dominent boars and several sows and shoats, or piglets. There is also something called a “barr” or “barrow” hog that has been gelded. Barr hogs grow bigger than ungelded boar hogs, and you can eat them."

I should probably start by re-titling this post \"\"Everything I Learned about Making Sausage, I Learned from Charcuterie.

Send your suggestions to I Will Help Predation is rarely observed; therefore, the accurate assessment of losses to specific predators often requires careful investigative work. Determine cause of death by checking for signs on the animal and around the kill site. Size and location of tooth marks will often indicate the species causing predation. Extensive bleeding usually is characteristic of predation. Where external bleeding is not apparent, the hide can be removed from the carcass, particularly around the neck, throat, and head, and the area checked for tooth holes, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and tissue damage. Hemorrhage occurs only if skin and tissue damage occurs while the animal is alive. Animals that die from causes other than predation normally do not show external or subcutaneous bleeding, although bloody fluids may be lost from body openings. Animal losses are easiest to evaluate if examination is conducted when the carcass is still fresh."

There's a lot of meat between rooter and tooter so that means you don't undertake the ritual unless the whole tribe is coming. \"\" Never eat more than you can lift.\"\" Miss Piggy But before you commit, keep this in mind: It is a lot of work. If you screw up you are embarrassed in front of a large crowd, and it is easy to screw up. But most importantly, keep in mind that this is not the best way to cook pork. There are lean tender muscles like the loin and tenderloin that are best at about 145°F, and tough sinewy knots of muscles like the shoulders and hams that won't get tender until they hit 200°F or so. What you end up doing is cooking everything to the higher number and then shredding it, dousing it with sauce, mix in some crunchy skin, and have a massive pile of pulled pork. The best way to cook pork is to break the animal down into individual cuts just like your butcher does: Shoulder (make Perfect Pulled Pork ), ribs (make Last Meal Ribs ), loin ( stuff them or make chops ), tenderloin (make Sweet & Sour Pork On The Grill ), hams (smoke 'em), belly (make Maple Bacon ), skin (make Cracklins ), cheeks (cure them for guanciale), scraps (make Italian Sausage), and bones (roast them to make soup and stock)."

ABOUT THE AUTHORJohn Harvey Kellogg was born in l852 in Livingston County, Michigan, to John P. Kellogg, a prominent member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, J. H. Kellogg was, quite naturally, interested in proper diet and health. This interest would not only lead to a degree in medicine, but a desire to travel around the world to learn from the best medical men of the day. But J. H. Kellogg developed another keen interest: he shunned many of the medical remedies of the time and sought to find natural cures for man�s ills. This, in turn, led to his understanding about preventive medicine. His unique program of preventive medicine and natural cures soon made Dr. Kellogg quite famous around the world: \"\"Rich and poor, high and low, including royalty, came from far and near to be treated by him.\"\" 1Besides his advocacy of natural cures, Dr. Kellogg promoted vegetarianism. This led to his development of the corn flake and other breakfast cereals that still bear his name. \"\" In addition to being an able physician and a famous surgeon he was also a great writer."

"text": "Hunting with Hog Dogs My family’s long tradition and love of hog hunting led us into the raising of working dogs that can do the job. I started out hunting wild hogs when I was fifteen. I had some hounds and as I grew older I tried almost every breed but none suited me until I hunted some BMCs from the Foundation Black Mouth Cur Breeders Organization in Texas. I researched different bloodlines and obtained seed stock of my present day line and while there may be better BMC stock somewhere for some particular trait we haven’t seen it and not selectively added it's genetics to our premium pack always maintaining the standard of quality and type. It is our ambition to maintain the integrity of the Black Mouth Cur breed and this means only breeding a dog that is way above average and stringently culling the average and below average from the breeding program. They’re still good solid dogs, just not meeting our high standards. We like a dog with a medium-cold nose, silent on trail, a loud mouth that is easily located, a dog that is fast enough to out run any woods rooter, strong and quick enough to bay up a hog at his head until the catch team arrives, and with enough strength of character he doesn’t have to resort to hamming. Weak dogs ham a hog because they don’t have the speed, power, or Heart to face off a big boar. But when a dog hamstrings a hog you can’t turn the hog loose and expect him to survive in the wild again. And my family practices catch and release with small hogs or if we catch them too far to carry to the truck."

Over half a year later, I've finally gotten around to writing up my latest experiments with cooking bacon. I look at three more techniques in this article (using a fourth cooking method, low heat pan frying, as a control): Microwaving with a Makin' Bacon dish, grilling, and slow baking. Method 1: Microwaving with a Makin' Bacon dish There are many specialty dishes designed for microwaving bacon. Some are simply plastic plates with grooves cut in them to catch grease. This one,the Makin' Bacon dish (about $10), elevates the bacon on poles. As many as a eighteen strips of bacon (according to the manufacturer), can be cooked at a time on this apparatus (although I think my bacon must be wider than their bacon because only a dozen of my strips would fit). Related Articles Bacon (Part I)Soft Boiled Eggs Eggplant Taste Test Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes Clam Chowder, New England Style Since I was only going to be cooking a couple strips, I used only the center pole.

This post has pictures that you may find disturbing, upsetting, gross etc. Please don’t look if you are sensitive to dead animals and butchering. As stated in my previous post the pictures were taken with a cell phone encased in a ziplock bag, often one handed while holding the hog in place with the other, in the poor lighting of my kitchen, and they’re of embarrassingly poor quality. I’ll get over it. As bad as they are I’m posting them anyway because when I was trying to figure this stuff out I had a difficult time finding anything helpful about butchering wild hogs. They all had set ups that I didn’t, equipment I didn’t, or they just showed pictures/video with few explanations, if any. I make no claims to being any sort of an expert at this but I wanted to write about it because the economy has been so unstable the past few years and there are predictions that it may get worse soon. Wild hogs are readily available over much of the southern US and while they’re dangerous they’re not difficult to hunt so they’re a very viable food source. I wasn’t able to get the whole process down and will try to make sure I get how I break down the animal next time, but this will get the animal cleaned and skinned using equipment that you already have or can make easily, and you can probably figure how to get it into cookable sized pieces if you think at it."

"text": "From Field to Feeder Hogs Organic farming relies on the recycling of nutrients, and pigs are the perfect recyclers on mixed farms. Pigs eat garden trimmings, cull apples, kitchen scraps, skim milk and whey from cheese-making. They do an amazing job of tilling the soil, and even fertilize it as they go. And of course, the hogs eventually provide tasty pork. The flavour of organic pork is very different from the taste of factory-farmed pork. Meat from the homestead hog is delicious, almost sweet. Organic farmers sometimes choose to breed their own hogs, rather than buy weaners from a conventional farm. By raising their own pigs from birth, farmers can ensure that the animals have been fed an organic diet from birth, without antibiotics, growth hormones or industrial byproducts. Also, some organic farmers raise rare breeds, such as the Berkshire. In general, the darker pigs are better for outside foraging than light-skinned pigs, which are vulnerable to sunburn."

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice from people who are often even more poorly informed than they are but still more than willing to portray themselves as experts. If I am going to claim to be the expert here, I guess I should give my basic credentials in order to assure you that I am not just into my second year on three or four acres. I was born into farming in 1942 when my dads 9N Ford Ferguson tractor was still just a couple of years old. By 1949 we had three tractors and today I farm with nine tractors. My first experience with a \"\"bush-hog\"\" type mower was about 1956 with a pull type Continental borrowed from a good friend and neighbor. He pulled it behind a Farmall B which was too small for it but overloaded tractors were the normal in those days. We hitched it to a Ferguson TO-20 which had been boosted to 30 horsepower with a piston and sleeve kit. That five-foot \"\"hog\"\" really pulled hard as it not only had the regular cutter blade but also a second blade at a right angle about a foot above it and a stationary blade mounted on each side half way between the other two blades. It not only cut the brush but chopped it extra fine at the price of creating a tremendous PTO load."

Nobody knows for sure, but here's how I think it happened: A tribe of these proto-humans were padding warily through the warm ashes of a forest fire following their noses to a particularly seductive scent. When they stumbled upon the charred carcass of a wild boar they squatted and poked their hands into its side. They sniffed their fragrant fingers, then licked the greasy digits."

"text": "What Do Hornets Eat? Worker hornets often feed on sugary liquids such as nectar or juices. They can be found on fallen fruit or even open containers of soda. Open sodas and drinks in cans or other nontransparent containers make it difficult to spot a wasp or hornet that may have crawled into a drink. For this reason, drinks should be poured into transparent glasses or plastic cups to help spot hornets when outdoors. Hornets also can be predaceous and feed on other insects as well as scavenge from carrion . They bring these protein sources back to the nest and use them to feed their larvae. Through their actions of consuming pest insects, they can be beneficial to people. They also can be found in dumpsters or around trash cans where they scavenge for meat. Trash cans and dumpsters should be emptied regularly and maintained with secured lids."

"text": "\"Social Wasps (like Yellow Jackets, Hornets, and Paper Wasps)Solitary Wasps ( like Cicada Killers and Mud Daubers )Getting Rid of Wasp and Hornets Treating hornets and other wasps should be done at night, without shaking or disturbing the nest. You will need a quick spray of Bonide Wasp and Hornet Aerosol or PT Wasp and Hornet Killer. Care should be taken when spraying directly on trees and bushes with the product, spraying as little as possible. If you spray on a house, it is recommended that you clean the area the next day, because of their oil bases. When dealing with social wasps, such as hornets, wear protective equipment including a bee hat, long-sleeved shirt, coveralls, eyewear, and gloves. Locate the wasp nest by examining all protected areas in the vicinity of wasp activity. Just removing the wasp nest will not resolve the problem, because surviving wasps will reconstruct a new one. The best strategy is to treat the wasp nest at night when all the workers and queen are present. Spraying into hornets nests should ALWAYS be done at night. They are far less aggressive and are all at home."

These ground digger wasps, or cicada killers, are menacing looking bees that are up to three inches in length. They put bumble bees to shame when it comes to size. The ground digger wasp is 2-3 inches in length (closer to 3 here in Texas), with a red body and bright yellow stripe around the abdomen. They fly extremely fast and you can literally see them darting around from a great distance. They aren't overly aggressive when it comes to stinging, but they will dive-bomb you and keep going. They have a pronounced buzz, much louder than a bumble bee. Even if they don't sting, they are very frightening due to their enormous size. They are also called cicada killers. They prey on cicadas and carry them back to their underground den."

It is actually the only true hornet found in North America. [ 1] V. crabro is usually regarded as a pest by those humans who come into contact with it. [ 2] Vespines, like V. crabro, are known for making nests out of surrounding plant materials and other fibers to create intricate paper nests. [ 3] Unlike most other vespines, reproductive suppression involves worker policing instead of queen pheromone control as was previously thought. This species stings in response to being stepped on or grabbed, but generally avoids conflict. It is also defensive of its hive and can be aggressive around food sources. European hornets are carnivorous and hunt large insects such as beetles, wasps, large moths, dragonflies and mantises. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] [8] However, mutual predation between medium-sized hornets and robberfly (Asilidae) is often reported.

Answer by Mike beekeeper Confidence votes 12.6KWasps should be regarded as beneficial insects. They eat many types of insect pests. Although they can sting, they will not do so unless provoked. Queen wasps can lay as many as 2,000 eggs a day and the wasp larvae are fed on caterpillars, spiders and aphids which the worker wasps collect for them. Worker wasps eat nectar a sugary secretion from the larvae and towards the end of the season there are fewer, if any, larvae and the wasps have to find an alternative food. This is where they turn to over-ripe fruit. The benefits that wasps provide to gardeners and farmers by killing pests far outweighs any nuisance they might cause.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Answer by Zooloomax Confidence votes 106Community Answer 1 Adult paper wasps either drink nectar or catch caterpillars and drink the caterpillar's blood, or hemolymph. Then the adult wasp flies back to the nest and regurgitates (throws up) the nectar or blood into the mouths of young (larval) wasps or other adult wasps. After the young wasps are full, they produce a saliva (or spit) which is fifty times more nutritious than nectar. The adult wasps drink this saliva from the mouths of the young wasps. ____________________________________________________________ Community Answer 2 Wasps eat other living bugs like, ants, flies and caterpillars, if their able to catch with fast reflexes they will eat butterflies.

"text": "Overview Residential Commercial Hornets & Wasps Hornets and wasps are both stinging insects of the Vespidae order, distant cousins of the ant. Like bees, hornets and wasps tend to set up their nests in trees under eaves, behind siding and in other unwanted locations around the home. Hornets and wasps are generally much more aggressive than bees, however, and pose a real risk to humans. In fact, thousands of people are killed every year in the United States due to allergic reactions to hornets and wasps. What is the difference between a hornet and a wasp? Hornets and wasps are closely related; in fact, the hornet is a specific type of wasp. All hornets are wasps, and some wasps are hornets. One problem in distinguishing the two insects is that the terms “wasp” and “hornet” are somewhat generic. For example, what most people refer to as a “hornet” is actually a bald-faced hornet, which is a small subset of the wasp family. Hornets are generally a little bit rounder and fatter than wasps and can be more aggressive."

However, some people are allergic to stings and can develop reactions that can be life-threatening. Call an ambulance immediately if you suspect an allergic reaction soon after being stung. If you are stung by a bee and the stinger remains in the skin, scrape out the stinger as quickly as possible. Do not pluck it out as this may squeeze more venom into the skin. Insect bites (not stings) rarely cause serious allergic reactions but can cause small itchy lumps to appear on the skin. Itch may be eased by a soothing ointment, antihistamine tablets, or steroid cream. Some insects infest pets, furniture, etc and can cause repeated bites.

"text": "Bees and Wasps Bees and wasps are commonly encountered, especially during late summer when they are most abundant and more active. In nature, these stinging insects play a beneficial role, particularly as predators of pest insects and as pollinators. Understanding the basic differences between bees and wasps can help you identify and control potential problems and prevent unwanted stings. Bees The most commonly seen bees in Washington are the honey bee and bumble bee. Bees feed on pollen and nectar, and their foraging activity help ensure the pollination of flowering plants. It is estimated that one third of our food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is done by bees. Bees have robust and fuzzy bodies compared with wasps, which serve to enhance their pollen gathering. Honey bees live in perennial colonies that nest in crevices of large trees, voids of building walls, or other protected areas. Unlike honey bees, bumble bees establish new colonies each spring. They prefer to build their nest in abandoned mice burrows, small cavities in building walls, or other similar spaces."

It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20-mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio. The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily attributed to its leading-edge extensions.

Pheromones alert other cast members within the colony that the nest is being threatened and more wasps join the attack. What Is A Primed Wasp Nest?

Ground squirrels in desert environments might also feed on barrel cacti, mesquite beans and prickly pear fruit, states the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Omnivorous ground squirrels, such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, eat the same plants as herbivores, but they also include animals in their diet. This includes insects, insect eggs, earthworms and small mice. They may also eat other ground squirrels. Many communities consider ground squirrels to be nuisances due to their diets and habitats. While foraging, ground squirrels eat seeds and destroy young plants in gardens. They might also kill trees by eating the bark. In addition, burrows can dry out and kill plant roots, and the holes they dig create hazards for operating machinery, including lawn mowers. In many cases, people can trap or kill ground squirrels to remove them from the property."

Scroll through the options below to find the feeder style that works best for the species you would like to attract. Ground Many species of birds, including sparrows and doves, prefer to feed on large, flat surfaces and may not visit any type of elevated feeder. Song Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, and many towhee species, for instance, will rarely land on a feeder, but they will readily eat fallen seed from the ground beneath your feeders. To attract these species, try spreading seed on the ground or on a large surface like the top of a picnic table. Large Hopper A hopper feeder is a platform upon which walls and a roof are built, forming a “hopper” that protects seed against the weather. Large hoppers attract most species of feeder birds and will allow larger species, like doves and grackles to feed. If you would prefer to discourage these larger birds, try using a smaller hopper feeder. Large Tube Feeder A tube feeder is a hollow cylinder, often made of plastic, with multiple feeding ports and perches."

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

The concept is very simple: on January 21st, people can show their appreciation for these little critters by leaving out a little extra food at a time when food resources are especially scarce. People can also start simply by learning about these animals and how to better live with them, so that they can continue to thrive throughout Ohio. Squirrel Background Squirrels are all members of the Sciuridae family, and there are 285 species worldwide. The smallest is the African pygmy, about 5 inches long; the largest is the Indian Giant squirrel, which can grow to be three feet! Squirrels are native to every continent except for Australia and Antarctica. They were introduced in most major city parks in US during the 1850s and ‘60s to bring nature to people who couldn’t get out of the city. Feeding them was a common way to promote kindness to animals. Most species of squirrel are built very similarly. Their hind limbs are longer than their fore limbs, with 4 to 5 toes per paw."

It prefers an open, parklike woods where large mature trees shade the forest floor and prevent the under-brush from flourishing, but it can adapt to a variety of forest habitats. It is most abundant in the eastern third of the state, and distribution in the wild is about one squirrel for every two or three acres. Since a fox squirrel ranges over an area of at least ten acres during any one season and may cover forty acres during a year's time, the territories of several often overlap. It is not uncommon for squirrels to share winter food supplies. The gray squirrel is smaller and faster than the fox squirrel, and its agility and skittishness have given it a second name – cat squirrel. Acorns are the most important fall and winter food for the fox squirrel. The nuts provide needed energy but are low in protein. Squirrels start eating hickory and other nuts in the dough stage while the nuts are still developing and continue eating them as they mature, burying them until the supply is gone. During the spring and summer the squirrels also eat insects, buds, green shoots, fruits, and seeds."

What do you do when your dog catches a squirrel, bird, rabbit, fowl, other assorted small creature? As many of you know, Hayley is our two-year-old (ish) adopted Lab-Whippet mix. She’s fairly well-behaved – doesn’t chew things, totally house-trained, and knows most basic commands such as sit , stay, paw and kill Lochte – but she has a lot of energy. Almost too much energy. Energy that usually manifests itself by punching me in the face while I’m working, or in the yard when, God forbid, a small animal dares to enter the confines of Hayley’s Rancor Pit. I’ve been rooting for her to catch something since we got her in September. Hayley is fast, driven and an alpha, but there are enough gaps beneath the fence and other escape routes for her prey to get away, so she hadn’t caught anything other than a few mosquitos, a bumble bee (really), and the nose of Coco, the Chocolate Lab in the yard behind ours who now sports an Adidas racing stripe on his snout. Until last Sunday. She hadn’t caught anything… until last Sunday."

Answer by Zubair nazir Confidence votes 340Squirrels are members of the order Rodentia and comprise 50 genera and 273 species that are spread worldwide. Tree squirrels live mostly in tree nests called dreys, which they build high in the forks of trees. Drays are approximately the size of a football and are made of twigs, leaves or pine needles or grass. Shredded grasses, fresh leaves, moss, and lichens are used to line the inside of the nest. Sometimes tree squirrels may make their nests in a hollow trunk, inhabit a permanent tree den, or take over a rook's nest, constructing a roof over it. Red squirrels in some areas also nest in middens in the ground. Ground squirrels (like prairie dogs and chipmunks) create underground tunnel systems called burrows, often with multiple entrances and chambers. Some ground squirrels use rocks and shrubs to hide burrow entrances."

It is 16 - 27 inches in length. Weights are from 4 - 14 pounds, being the lightest in the spring when they come out of hibernation, and heaviest in the fall. Groundhogs are herbivores; almost complete vegetarians. They are most often seen sitting on their haunches grazing on grasses, leaves, flowers, clover, alfalfa, wheat, and rye. They like to raid people's gardens and eat farmer's cucumbers and melons. Occasionally, they will climb trees and eat an apple or nut. Surprisingly peanut butter and crackers as well."

"text": "Groundhog Under My Shed or Deck If you want the simple, short-term solution, you trap and remove the animal. However, you're probably going to have another animal problem in the future. All sorts of critters, including woodchucks, love to make a burrow or home under your shed, deck, home, etc. You really need to install an exclusion barrier, a steel mesh fence, that goes all the way around the perimeter of the shed or deck. It needs to go at least 18 inches underground, with the bottom curving outward, to stop diggers like groundhogs from just digging underneath. If you install such a fence right away, while the animal is still living under there, you can leave one little spot open as a prime place to set a trap or even a one-way exclusion door that lets it go out for the last time, but not back in. Click here for a nationwide list of 100's of pro groundhog trappers serving all 50 states. How To Get Groundhogs Out From Under A Shed Or Porch - Groundhogs are rodents that are almost anonymous with some American holidays, but even though they are often seen as cute, if they find their way into a domestic area then they can be a big problem. Groundhogs are burrowing animals that will spend most of their time underground, but when they do burrow underneath a shed or porch then it can cause big problems for that structure. They will burrow an extensive network of tunnels under the shed or porch, and in some cases this can cause the ground to give way under the structure."

"text": "\"How to Quickly & Easily Trap Nuisance Groundhogs August 27, 2007I’ve endured my share of groundhog conflicts, and at times they’ve even had me talking to myself, but I’ve learned a few things about the best way to trap a woodchuck from my unpleasant experiences. If you are up against a troublesome groundhog that is devouring your garden or creating unsightly holes throughout your landscape, the preferred method to solve the problem is to trap the critter and find a new home for it. Considering how much of a headache groundhogs can become, and how difficult it is to get close before they scurry into their underground hideout; trapping groundhogs will be a cinch if you follow the strategies that I offer in this article. Selecting the Right Groundhog Trap The essential piece of equipment that you’ll need for trapping a groundhog is the trap itself. I use a Havahart trap, which works great and will catch animals without harming them so that they can be relocated and released safely. Havahart makes metal “live-catch” traps that are suitable for catching groundhogs. The trap’s dimensions should include an opening that’s at least ten inches wide and about a foot tall. There are two popular Havahart styles for you to choose from. The first stlye is open on both ends with a bait tray/trap release mechanism in the center. This model is supposed to make animals less cautious about entering because they do not see an obstruction at the opposite end of the trap."

Photograph by W. Perry Conway, Corbis This Sunday is Groundhog Day, which means that eyes that aren’t glued to the Super Bowl will be trained on Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and the verdict of its most famous resident: occasional meteorologist and full-time groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. Each year groundhogs enjoy 15 minutes of fame before most people proceed to forget about them completely. So in honor of Groundhog Day, we dug up some little-known facts about these annual celebrities.1. They’re related to squirrels. Groundhogs (Marmota monax) are a type of rodent known as a marmot, and marmots are closely related to squirrels. “ They are giant ground squirrels is what they are,” says Richard Thorington, curator of mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D. C. What’s more, groundhogs have an extensive range and can be found all over North America.“ [ Groundhogs are] the most widely distributed marmot of all of them, [with a range stretching] as far south as northern Alabama to northern Canada—and some are even found in Alaska,” adds Stam Zervanos, retired professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University in Reading, who’s conducted extensive research on groundhogs.2. “ Woodchuck” has nothing to do with wood. Groundhogs have many colorful names, including whistle-pig for their tendency to emit short, high-pitched whistles."

"text": "\"Ground Hog Control The Groundhog, also known as a Woodchuck is a member of the squirrel family. Groundhogs are found in open pastures, woodlots, fields, ditches, and roadsides. During early spring, groundhogs are most active during the warm parts of the day. However, during the warmer spring and summer months, the day is spent in their cool burrows and feeding occurs during the very early morning and at dusk. Groundhogs begin hibernation mid October and emerge in February. Their burrow system is located about 2-4 feet underground and may extend 15-25 feet horizontally. The main groundhog nest chamber is usually located at the end of the burrow. The main entrance is seen as a mound of fresh earth around the opening. Groundhogs are active by day, especially in early morning and late afternoon. In residential areas they may be found beneath homes, patios, under decks, garages and stored lumber."

"text": "About Woodchucks The woodchuck ( Marmota monax), belongs to the marmot family, and goes by many names, including groundhog and whistle pig due to the sound they make through their large teeth to warn one another of danger. While there are several species of marmots in North America, our woodchuck is found mostly in the eastern United States and across much of southern Canada. In New England, woodchucks inhabit both urban and suburban yards, fields, meadows, woodland clearings, and we see them frequently in grassy areas along highways. Identification Woodchucks have short, muscular legs designed for digging, and large front incisors that they must wear down by chewing to curb tooth growth. They often grow up to 20 inches in length, with a tail that measures roughly six inches long, and generally weigh between six and 12 pounds. Behavior Woodchucks are active during the day. In summer they commonly feed in the early morning and the late afternoon, spending the rest of the day sleeping or basking in the sun. Woodchucks are among the few true hibernators found in Massachusetts. In late summer they begin to put on weight in preparation for the move to their winter dens, often located in wooded areas. They hibernate from October through March."

There are thought to be at least 278 different species which include groundhogs and prairie dogs. It’s All In The Tooth Like the beaver, squirrels have self-sharpening teeth. They do most of their biting with their large incisors which grow continuously. The teeth are composed or two layers, the front is made of enamel while the back is composed of softer dentine. The dentine layer wears away first and because of this the teeth stay sharp. They use their chisel-like teeth for eating and gnawing at tough materials like hazelnuts.

Roaming a swath of territory extending from Alaska to Alabama, the humble groundhog is held responsible each year for predicting the start of spring (or the end of winter, depending on your perspective).

Although the groundhog finds himself in the spotlight once a year, he’s not hard to find the other 364 days.

Often they make little effort to conceal themselves — groundhogs can commonly be found out in the open, sunning themselves in a patch of grass or atop a fence post.

Observed by United States Canada Type Cultural Significance Supposedly predicts the arrival of spring Celebrations Announcing whether a groundhog sees its shadow after it emerges from its burrow Date February 2Frequency Annual Related to Candlemas Groundhog Day, ( Pennsylvania German: Grund'sau dåk, Grundsaudaag, Grundsow Dawg, Murmeltiertag; Nova Scotia: Daks Day [1]) is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog ( Deitsch: Grundsau, Grunddax, Dax) emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early. While the tradition remains popular in modern times, studies have found no consistent correlation between a groundhog seeing its shadow or not and the subsequent arrival time of spring-like weather. [ 2]The weather lore was brought from German-speaking areas where the badger (German: dachs) is the forecasting animal. This appears to be an enhanced version of the lore that clear weather on Candlemas forebodes a prolonged winter. The Groundhog Day ceremony held at Punxsutawney in western Pennsylvania, centering around a semi-mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, has become the most attended. Grundsow Lodges in Pennsylvania Dutch Country in the southeast part of the state celebrate them as well. Other cities in the United States and Canada have also adopted the event. The 1993 film Groundhog Day helped boost recognition of the custom, and the celebration has spread even further afield."

These rodents live a feast-or-famine lifestyle and gorge themselves all summer to build up plentiful reserves of fat. After the first frost, they retreat to their underground burrows and snooze until spring, drawing their sustenance from body fat. While hibernating, the animal's heart rate plunges, and its body temperature is not much warmer than the temperature inside its burrow. Groundhog Day and Hibernation Groundhog hibernation gave rise to the popular American custom of Groundhog Day, held on the second of February every year. Tradition dictates that if a groundhog sees its shadow that day, there will be six more weeks of winter, though such a prediction seems a sure bet over much of the groundhog's North American range. In the spring, females welcome a litter of perhaps a half dozen newborns, which stay with their mother for several months. Behavior Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family."

"text": "\"Groundhog Life and Habitat Groundhogs or woodchucks are the major hole-digging mammal of eastern North America. The average groundhog excavates over 700 pounds of dirt digging just one den, and a single groundhog may have four or or five dens scattered across its territory, moving in and out of them as crops and weather change. Groundhog burrows are important shelter resources for red fox, gray fox, opossum, raccoon, and skunk, most of whom do not dig their own burrows, but simply occupy those of groundhogs. Over the course of the last 300 years, as forests have fallen to farms, the population of woodchucks and mid-sized predators such as fox and raccoon, have skyrocketed. All of these animals are classified as \"\"edge\"\" creatures that thrive on multiple food sources found where forests meet field and yard. Today, there are more groundhogs, red fox, gray fox, opossum and raccoon in the United States than at any previous time in U. S. history. The most common locations of permanent groundhog dens are fence lines and thickets bordering hay and corn fields, vegetable farms, and fruit orchards. Here tangles of multiflora rose, kudzu, honeysuckle and small trees provide the kind of cover that enable a groundhog to enter and leave its den, shielded from the rushing attack of farm dogs, coyotes, and fox. Drainage is a critical issue for groundhogs. Dens are never dug in damp or swampy areas, and stony ground is avoided as well."

Perry Conway, Corbis This Sunday is Groundhog Day, which means that eyes that aren’t glued to the Super Bowl will be trained on Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and the verdict of its most famous resident: occasional meteorologist and full-time groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. Each year groundhogs enjoy 15 minutes of fame before most people proceed to forget about them completely. So in honor of Groundhog Day, we dug up some little-known facts about these annual celebrities.1. They’re related to squirrels. Groundhogs (Marmota monax) are a type of rodent known as a marmot, and marmots are closely related to squirrels. “ They are giant ground squirrels is what they are,” says Richard Thorington, curator of mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D. C. What’s more, groundhogs have an extensive range and can be found all over North America.“ [ Groundhogs are] the most widely distributed marmot of all of them, [with a range stretching] as far south as northern Alabama to northern Canada—and some are even found in Alaska,” adds Stam Zervanos, retired professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University in Reading, who’s conducted extensive research on groundhogs.2. “ Woodchuck” has nothing to do with wood. Groundhogs have many colorful names, including whistle-pig for their tendency to emit short, high-pitched whistles."

Begin by learning exactly what groundhogs are, how they live, and what signs to be on the lookout for in order to detect their presence as soon as possible. What Exactly Are Groundhogs and How Do They Live? Groundhogs, or \"\"woodchucks\"\" ( Marmota monax) are rodents indigenous to the eastern U. S. and are most often found where a wooded area meets a clearing. They can get as big as 30 inches from head to tail and 15 pounds. Their lifespan is up to six years. Their burrows, in which groundhogs spend most of their time, can be 50 feet long. Groundhogs hibernate in winter, during which time they do not stir from their burrows. The same burrow is also used for mating (which occurs just after hibernation ends) and raising young. A woodchuck burrow will often have one main entrance and one emergency escape entrance or spy-hole."

"text": "\"Live Science Animals Why Do Animals Hibernate? By Mindy Weisberger, Senior Writer | June 6, 2016 10:26am ETMOREError setting up player: Invalid license key During the cold winter months, nothing seems more inviting than a warm bed. But for some animals, hunkering down in a cozy den when nights are long and temperatures are low isn't just a matter of temporary comfort — it's necessary for survival. Certain animal species have evolved an adaptation that allows them to weather long stretches of time when food is scarce — they enter a state known as hibernation. And what happens when an animal hibernates is much more dramatic than simply curling up for an extended nap; extreme metabolic changes are taking place. The animal's heart and breathing rates slow down, and its body temperature drops. Depending on the species, days or even weeks may pass without the animal waking to drink, eat or relieve itself. [ 5 Hibernating Bears Let Scientists Peek into Their Dens]The word \"\"hibernation\"\" is derived from the Latin hibernare, meaning, \"\"to pass the winter,\"\" according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. The term originated in the late 17th century in reference to a dormant state in insect eggs and plants, and was applied to other animals beginning in the 18th century. Today, many types of mammals are recognized as hibernators, including bats, rodents, bears and even primates — three species of dwarf lemur in Madagascar and the pygmy slow loris in Vietnam have been found to hibernate."

They do most of their biting with their large incisors which grow continuously. The teeth are composed or two layers, the front is made of enamel while the back is composed of softer dentine. The dentine layer wears away first and because of this the teeth stay sharp. They use their chisel-like teeth for eating and gnawing at tough materials like hazelnuts.

"text": "About Woodchucks The woodchuck ( Marmota monax), belongs to the marmot family, and goes by many names, including groundhog and whistle pig due to the sound they make through their large teeth to warn one another of danger. While there are several species of marmots in North America, our woodchuck is found mostly in the eastern United States and across much of southern Canada. In New England, woodchucks inhabit both urban and suburban yards, fields, meadows, woodland clearings, and we see them frequently in grassy areas along highways. Identification Woodchucks have short, muscular legs designed for digging, and large front incisors that they must wear down by chewing to curb tooth growth. They often grow up to 20 inches in length, with a tail that measures roughly six inches long, and generally weigh between six and 12 pounds. Behavior Woodchucks are active during the day. In summer they commonly feed in the early morning and the late afternoon, spending the rest of the day sleeping or basking in the sun. Woodchucks are among the few true hibernators found in Massachusetts. In late summer they begin to put on weight in preparation for the move to their winter dens, often located in wooded areas. They hibernate from October through March."

It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog ( Deitsch: Grundsau, Grunddax, Dax) emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early. While the tradition remains popular in modern times, studies have found no consistent correlation between a groundhog seeing its shadow or not and the subsequent arrival time of spring-like weather. [ 2]The weather lore was brought from German-speaking areas where the badger (German: dachs) is the forecasting animal. This appears to be an enhanced version of the lore that clear weather on Candlemas forebodes a prolonged winter. The Groundhog Day ceremony held at Punxsutawney in western Pennsylvania, centering around a semi-mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, has become the most attended. Grundsow Lodges in Pennsylvania Dutch Country in the southeast part of the state celebrate them as well. Other cities in the United States and Canada have also adopted the event. The 1993 film Groundhog Day helped boost recognition of the custom, and the celebration has spread even further afield."

"text": "Lead Story1887First Groundhog Day Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite On this day in 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, it gets scared and runs back into its burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring. Groundhog Day has its roots in the ancient Christian tradition of Candlemas, when clergy would bless and distribute candles needed for winter. The candles represented how long and cold the winter would be. Germans expanded on this concept by selecting an animal–the hedgehog–as a means of predicting weather. Once they came to America, German settlers in Pennsylvania continued the tradition, although they switched from hedgehogs to groundhogs, which were plentiful in the Keystone State. Groundhogs, also called woodchucks and whose scientific name is Marmota monax, typically weigh 12 to 15 pounds and live six to eight years. They eat vegetables and fruits, whistle when they’re frightened or looking for a mate (they’re sometimes called whistle pigs) and can climb trees and swim. They go into hibernation in the late fall; during this time, their body temperatures drop significantly, their heartbeats slow from 80 to five beats per minute and they can lose 30 percent of their body fat. In February, male groundhogs emerge from their burrows to look for a mate (not to predict the weather) before going underground again."

Groundhogs are herbivores; almost complete vegetarians. They are most often seen sitting on their haunches grazing on grasses, leaves, flowers, clover, alfalfa, wheat, and rye. They like to raid people's gardens and eat farmer's cucumbers and melons. Occasionally, they will climb trees and eat an apple or nut. Surprisingly peanut butter and crackers as well."

"text": "\"Seven Habits of Highly Effective Groundhogs Life lessons from a weary gardener.by Melissa Groman, LCSWHere in my backyard, we are entering our fifth season of battle. I am an avid backyard gardener who built a raised garden bed, filled it with fresh soil and began to work the land. For many years our efforts yielded luscious vegetables, summer fruit and the precious experience of renewal, growth and reward. We watered, we weeded, we talked to the vines. And of course, we picked and plucked and proclaimed proudly at the Shabbos table, “These are fresh from our garden!”All this glee ended abruptly five years ago, when I wandered out back one bright May morning to find stunted shoots, trampled vines and sheared off plants. I knew it had to be them -- groundhogs. They live under my shed. They scurry across the yard to their vacation home under my neighbor’s deck. They wiggle around the neighborhood and are just happy as all get out. And they dine in my garden."

Groundhog Geography and Habitat Groundhogs are found in the majority of central and eastern United States, as well as in parts of Alaska and Canada. Known as an \"\"edge\"\" species, groundhogs prefer transitional areas where forest or woodland meets a well-vegetated open field or meadow. Groundhogs spend most of their time underground in complex burrow systems, which they dig in dry, well-drained soil. Most of the time groundhogs dig their burrows in areas with nearby cover such as fencerows, hedgerows, beside structures, home foundations or trees. Groundhog Diet Groundhogs eat approximately 1/3 of their weight in vegetation each day. Although they are considered herbivores, they sometimes eat insects (less than 1% of the time)."

You gotta love a holiday centered around weather. You might think it’s about the animal, but no, any hibernating animal will do just as well. The real reason Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2nd is that it is close to the midpoint of winter, halfway between the solstice and the equinox. Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, we still officially have six (and a half) more weeks of winter. This is the turning point of the season, and for pre-industrial societies (particularly farmers), the midwinter date was a day to take stock and determine whether you have enough food and firewood to last the rest of the winter. If you miscalculated the previous fall, or you found that the grain is full of weevils and your cow started looking skinny, you had good reason to look for omens of an early spring.

Woodchucks have been known to eat at least a pound and a half of food a day. At this rate it will take them no time to wipe out your entire garden. Woodchucks can also disrupt the structural integrity of your yard when burrowing. Not only that, but these burrows can damage the roots of plants and make it difficult for people and animals to walk through the yard without slipping in a burrow when it’s near the surface. They cause damages to trees by stripping them of their bark to indicate their burrow’s entrance; which makes the trees more susceptible to diseases. With all of these problems you’ve just simply had enough and want to know how to get rid of them for good, right? Eggs It has been said that eggs turn the woodchucks away and keep them away for good.

Proper mowing, fertilizing, irrigation and thatch control provide a dense, healthy, high-quality lawn. Mowing The importance of good mowing practices is often overlooked. Mowing has a major influence on the turf density, uniformity and aesthetic quality of a home lawn. It is also the most repetitious and time-consuming maintenance practice and is often done incorrectly. Frequency and Height Turf can be mowed frequently, provided no more than one-third of the grass blade is removed in a single mowing. Mow as high as possible. Lower mowing produces a shallow root system. Shallow grass roots cannot take up enough water and nutrients, making the lawn susceptible to drought stress.

My wife stored some pasta in the cellar recently in a food grade five gallon bucket and I got to wondering how long it would be good for. So of course I fired up the ol’ laptop and shot a message off to Chefbear to see what he had to say about storing pasta. As usual he came through and added a lot of extra knowledge that I felt compelled to share with my SHTF homies. Thanks again, Chefbear!————————————————-Hello again folks, so I was conversing with Jarhead via email and he suggested an article about pasta. I thought about it for a few minutes, and then I get a call from my girlfriend asking me what the shelf life of dried pasta is. When I inquired as to why she wanted to know, she told me she was trying to fix dinner and about the only thing they had in the pantry was a single box of, believe it or not… HBO pasta with “Soprano’s” shapes, she then told me that she had never seen it before, the box was unopened and COVERED with dust, the use by date was 11/04 (if I remember correctly)! Aside from the fact that I realized next time I visit my girl, I am taking her to the grocery store and filling the cabinets/fridge to maximum capacity, I also got to contemplating that *MOST* folks have no concept of what is an OK amount of time to store dried carbohydrates. Thus here we are, and I am going to cover in this article not only how to spot when your dried complex carbohydrates need to be disposed of, but also proper storing of these items and I think I will throw in a simple yet tasty recipe or two for you! I might also work in some other relevant info, so let’s see what we can come up with!First off let’s discuss storage."

Once you press the “submit order” button, they are keeping your money no matter what happens and you own full responsibility for making sure you get your food. ( there should be a warning to that effect in their app. ) Time passes and you don’t get your food? You can’t call the restaurant or the driver, your deal was with Grub Hub. You can call Grub Hub, but you’ll quickly discover that far from owning satisfactory delivery of the order you already paid for, they quickly pass the buck. They will helpfully inform you that it’s not really their problem, the driver works for a different party and the restaurant just puts the food in the bag."

We have tried every product we could find to get rid of moles in our yard – and just when I think I’ve solved the problem, they come back with a vengeance. What can I do? -Theresa Just when you think you’ve gotten your yard to the pinnacle of neatness, here comes a pesky mole to turn your lawn into a superhighway!Unfortunately, we gardeners are excellent mole-magnets: our tilling, mulching, and watering create a virtual paradise for these burrowing critters who love nothing more than a nice, moist, earthworm-rich hunting ground. About Moles Here are some facts about our furry mole friends (or enemies): Moles Are Insect Eaters: A typical 5-6 ounce mole can eat as much as 50 pounds of bugs and worms in a year. Among their diet: beetles, earthworms, and lawn-destroying grubs. If you can stand them, they’re excellent natural insectivores. Mole (Photo courtesy of Gábor Palla)Moles Are Loners: The average acre of land usually supports only 2-3 moles. Moles Are Natural Aerators: Moles live and breed in deep runways and burrows underground, digging upward of 20 feet per hour! Their highway system branches off into surface runways for feeding; these are the telltale “molehills” you see in your yard."

"text": "Booze You Can Use April 22, 20112:26 pm Here’s the Low-Down on Low-Alcohol ‘Vodka’By Jay Barmann Share Tweet Comment Photo: J. Barmann/Grub Street Everyone’s familiar with those sad soju cocktail menus, populated with sickly sweet lychee “martinis” and the like. But now we learn that the beverage industry has a newish category of lite booze to hawk: “vodka,” “rum,” and “tequila” made from orange wine and agave wine. The so-called advantage? These babies clock in under 24% alcohol, or 48 proof — the legal limit for a beverage served under a beer-and-wine license in California and a number of other states. It will still get you drunk, but it will take twice as long and cost twice as much, and we’re sure even the cocktail snobs who have embraced low-alcohol concoctions made from sherry will be having none of this. Nevertheless we were curious. San Gabriel Beverage Group in Southern California appears to be the main distributor of the stuff, with a product line including Petrov Fermented Vodka. It’s made from something called OTSO (Other Than Standard Orange wine), a proof-enhancing additive derived from oranges and used in some inexpensive fortified wines that the homeless and elderly drink (think Wild Irish Rose ). As San Gabriel’s marketing guy Bob Matthews explained, “The Petrov has the flavor of triple-distilled vodka, but it does not actually go through any distillation process.” It is still a fermented product, totally legal at 20% ABV, and they’ve actually been selling the stuff for six years now. “"

Are the number of Japanese beetles in your yard frustrating your plant growing efforts? Milky Spore Milky Spore is manufactured by St. Gabriel Laboratories, and is a bacterium that is host specific and naturally occurring (Bacillus popillae-Dutky). Milky Spore, also known as Milky disease, kills the omnipresent summer-time pest known as the Japanese Beetle. Milky Spore works by specifically targeting, in a completely natural way, the white grub of the Japanese Beetle, which lives and breeds just under the surface of your lawn. Adult Japanese Beetles feed on your flowers, roses, shrubs, and lots of other valuable garden plants. During the Japanese Beetle's larvae stage, grubs will literally eat the roots out from under your grass and bedding plants. Using Milky Spore as a turf inoculation treatment begins the process of creating a blanket of protection for your lawn and other valuable garden plants. The Japanese Beetle grub is considered to be the weakest link in the life cycle and the most vulnerable point to introduce a natural infection. After the spores take up residence in treated lawns, they are consumed by living grubs while they eat, which begins their journey to annihilation."

Photo: i Stockphoto As recently as two years ago, cold brew — coffee that’s brewed slowly without heat for a sweeter, altogether better iced-coffee experience — was still a novelty in New York. Now there’s a spate of new ways to track down some “toddy” (as connoisseurs call it) aside from ordering to-go at your local café: single-serving stubbies, pre-bottled concentrate, growlers, or even home delivery. But the diversity of buying options also means you can pay very different amounts to get your cold-brew fix. So, which one is cheapest? To make it easier, Grub Street based these calculations on producing a sixteen-ounce serving of iced coffee, just for ease in comparing to the standard to-go sizes. That means we wanted to know how much it costs to get twelve ounces of actual coffee, as ice displaces about four ounces of liquid on average at your favorite coffee shop. Another important control: Cold brew (rather than just hot coffee that’s been cooled down, as served at places like Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, and your office coffee cart) is the only way to go from a flavor standpoint. In that way, all of these are estimates that serve to help you weigh price versus convenience, with quality taken into account. The Method: Buying Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee at a Coffee Shop Cost per sixteen-ounce serving: $2.50 to $3.50 The most obvious way to get cold brew is to just head to a coffee shop and buy a cup."

Photo: Courtesy of Chalait Matcha, or finely ground powder made from green-tea leaves, is obviously not new. In fact, it’s literally ancient — and in New York, it’s been available in select tea shops and Japanese and Chinese restaurants for quite some time. Traditionally, matcha requires a slow preparation process: The powder gets placed in a shallow bowl, combined with hot (but not boiling) water, and then whisked so that there are no clumps left behind. The result is a concentrated, electric green-tea that’s super-healthy as well as highly caffeinated. It tastes great on its own, but it’s lovely when mixed with steamed milk to make a latte — and you can also cook with it. Now there are several new places dedicated to the beverage (Chalait in the West Village, Matcha Bar in Williamsburg), and popular coffee shops like Ground Support and Jack’s Stir Brew have even added matcha drinks to their menus. Momofuku Ko uses it in a savory mille-feuille, Morgenstern’s and Victory Garden both serve matcha-pistachio ice cream, and Café Clover makes a matcha cocktail. Here’s where you can find matcha in New York right now — as well as how to purchase the powder if you want to whisk it up at home.

How strong are these flavor differences, and how do they pan out with food? We tasted peppercorns from seven major growing regions to find out.

Fish instinctively understand what can or cannot fit down their gullets. A small fish that's been eating well is usually not interested to attack and digest a bulky jig. Big fish, on the other hand, prefer a bulky meal that a jig represents to them. Five fish caught on jigs will be bigger than five fish caught on any other type of lure."

Why are some ice creams so dense and rich that you almost have to chew them? And why do some ice creams taste full-bodied and almost warm while others are dead-ringers for frozen cream? The answer, at least a partial one: eggs. Eggs, specifically egg yolks, play several roles in homemade ice cream. You can make tasty ice cream without them, but there's a reason that almost every recipe published in the last 50 years calls for them. Here's why: After water, egg yolks are mostly fat and protein.

At first he fired off angry Tweets, demanding to know what was going on. But after a sitdown with the man he still calls \"\"the boss,\"\" during which Osbourne explained that it was simply time for a change and that Wylde should devote his time to his own band, Black Label Society, both Wylde and his devoted followers came to understand that it was indeed time for all to move on. As for Gus G, he made his official debut with Osbourne at Blizz Con last August. A trial-by-fire experience, to be sure, but the affable guitarist describes the show as a \"\"total success.

The vibration occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks, fingerpicks, or taps the strings. The pickup used to sense the vibration generally uses electromagnetic induction to do so, though other technologies exist. In any case, the signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is sent to a guitar amplifier before being sent to the speaker, which converts it into audible sound. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, it can be electronically altered by to change the timbre of the sound. Often, the signal is modified using effects such as reverb and distortion and \"\"overdrive\"\", the latter effect is considered a key element of electric blues guitar music and rock guitar playing."

From his time in Procol Harum to his seminal solo albums such as Twice Removed From Yesterday and Bridge of Sighs, Trower has made bluesrock guitar a high art with his wonderful phrasing and jaw-dropping tone. “I think I’m a bit more musical as a guitarist now,” says Trower, whose new album, The Playful Heart [V12], continues his decadeslong streak of tonal excellence. “ I’m better technically, but it’s not like I’m faster—I’m just more fluid.

"text": "Fender USA '62 Stratocaster Reissue (Early '90s)Bob Leggitt | Friday, 1 June 2012 |One of the questions I’ve been asked by guitarists newer to the the world of Fender instruments, is: “What makes a Vintage Reissue a Vintage Reissue?”, or “How do I know a Vintage Reissue when I see one?”. In this article I’m going to look at one of the most widely-respected Vintage Reissue guitars there is: a Fender USA ’62 Stratocaster Reissue – this particular example bearing an inspection tag dated 2nd March 1990. I’ll give some details as to what makes it a vintage reissue, and then generally assess it as an individual guitar… Guitars as a breed are highly unusual in that they have a habit of subverting technological progress. In other words, whereas your general household products improve as technology advances (i.e. you’d much prefer watching a 2012 television to a 1962 television), technological and industrial progress often has a negative effect on guitar production. A guitar is primarily a mechanical device, and a lot of people would describe it in quite spiritual terms. It’s man-made, but it also draws very heavily on nature for its character and soul. If you mess too much with nature, you start to lose that character and soul. Older guitar production processes were more natural; newer processes are more technological. So before you even start to take design changes into account, you get a sense as to why a guitar produced using early 1960s standards might have more character and soul than an updated version."

"text": "The Truth About... 1980s Squier Strats Bob Leggitt | Wednesday, 7 December 2011 |I thought for this piece it would be worth exploring the reality of the Squier Stratocaster of the 1980s – just as a guide for anyone who’s been subjected to conflicting pitches from vendors who might be, shall we say, a little over-enthusiastic to sell their merchandise. The Squier Strat is one facet of the guitar market which comes steeped in hype, and I wanted to provide a bit of balance amid what can sometimes be wishful, hysterically over-gushing, or just plain misinformed rhetoric. The early '80s 'JV Series' Squier Strats were undeniably amazing value for money, representing as they did the premium Fender Japan product in Europe, at a budget price. But not all JV Strats were created equal, and in my experience their appeal fluctuated quite markedly. The most serious problem, though, lies with the sellers who use the great reputation of the very best JV Squiers, to sell inferior Squiers made in the latter phase of the '80s, for totally unjustified prices. This article, along with its companion piece on the '80s Korean models, sets out to provide an impartial and realistic look at the sometimes great, and sometimes not so great, 1980s Squier Strat. I’m not going to be including late ‘80s Korean Squiers in this piece. I've now added a full study of the first Korean Squiers, which you find in The Truth About... Early Korean Squier Strats. But suffice it to say that the ‘80s Korean Squiers were inherently and consistently inferior to their Japanese predecessors, and they had what I’d describe as ‘double-take’ retail prices. Much cheaper than the last of the Japanese Squiers, making a downgrade in quality inevitable."

He probably wanted them slightly scooped so the guitar doesn't mesh with his vocals, causing false/ghost notes to appear. When I had a band, we had this one song where the singer wanted to do something kinda weird with the vocal melody where he'd go out of key (in kind of an Alice Cooperish madman sorta way)."

"text": "\"When John Mayer first appeared on the scene some twelve years ago, it was easy to dismiss him as just a pop phenomenon. But with each new release he has shown that he is one of the most versatile guitarists around. Whether he's doing more soulful music, as on Continuum, playing acoustic folk rock like his latest album Born and Raised, or playing the blues with John Mayer Trio, Mayer has shown that he is one of the most gifted guitar players to come around in recent years. Here we will take a look at the guitar playing style of John Mayer. Mayer is a Jimi Hendrix fan, always incorporating covers of the late musician in his setlists. Most notably perhaps “Bold As Love.” So it's not surprising that Mayer has adopted the same style of playing “within” the chord as Hendrix did, doing lot's of pull-offs and hammer-ons within the current chord structure. Mayer also tends to play barre chords in the same style as Hendrix, using the thumb to fret the base note and mute the A-string of the guitar. This way, his remaining four fingers can easier do fills and small licks. Although you mostly see Mayer playing guitars with single-coil pickups, he has on occasion played a Gibson ES-335, as he told Guitarist Magazine in 2008: \"\"I also have a gorgeous, beautiful sounding Gibson ES-335 which is another kind of sonic power to write for.\"\""

A Brief History of the Telecaster In 1951 the Telecaster was introduced to the world by Leo Fender, a Southern California inventor and businessman. Now a legendary instrument available in dozens of variations, the iconic “Tele” became the world’s first successfully mass-produced solid body electric guitar. Fender's Esquire guitar was the first prototype for the Telecaster and was produced in limited numbers. It was introduced in 1950 and renamed the Broadcaster shortly after. To avoid confusion and trademark issues with Gretsch Broadkaster drums, the guitar was renamed as the Telecaster. The Esquire was brought back as a single-pickup version of the Telecaster in 1951. The Telecaster’s simple, straightforward design along with its versatility and playability have led to its longevity."

Need More Help? About Our Private Reserve Collection Glossary of Les Paul Terms The Les Paul Legacy—A Brief History The guitar that bears Les Paul’s name is among the most iconic instruments that have helped shape the sound of popular music. Since its introduction in 1952, the LP’s rich, thick, midrange-focused tone, coupled with a prodigious ability to sustain notes has had a huge impact on the sound of rock, blues, metal, and those genres' modern offshoots. Though there’s some controversy about exactly who contributed what elements, it’s clear that the LP was the result of a fateful collaboration between Gibson president Ted Mc Carty and Les Paul, the brilliant country and jazz guitarist and compulsive inventor and tinkerer. The trajectory of Gibson’s product line and Paul’s search for an electric guitar with more sustain and less feedback made that collaboration more or less inevitable. First Came The Clunker Les Paul had struggled for years with the feedback generated by electric hollowbody guitars when their volume was cranked up."

"text": "By Bruce Bartlett • October 14, 2009You’re recording an electric guitar, or amplifying it through a P. A., and there it is: hum! This annoying sound is a common occurrence. Acoustic guitars fitted with pickups can have the same problem. Hum is an unwanted 60 Hz tone — 50 Hz outside the U. S. — plus harmonics. If the harmonics are especially strong, the hum becomes an edgy buzz. Let’s take a look at what’s going on and how to fix it. First we need to review how an electric guitar works. Inside The Electric Guitar Built into the guitar, under the strings, is a magnetic pickup: a transducer that converts the strings’ vibration into an electrical signal. The pickup is a bar magnet wrapped with thousands of turns of wire, forming a coil. When the player plucks the steel strings, they vibrate next to the magnet, producing a similar vibration in the magnet’s magnetic field, which in turn causes a varying current in the coil."

"text": "\"John Mayer’s Guitars and Gear John Clayton Mayer was born on October 16, 1977 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was first influenced to pick up a guitar by Marty Mc Fly in “Back to the Future” movie, after which he managed to persuade his father to rent one for him and his brother to practice on. Around that same time, John received a cassette of one of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s albums, which caught his attention more than anything he’d heard before. He started taking lessons from a local guitar-shop owner, Al Ferrante, and it soon became his main focus. At the age of 19 John attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but left after two semesters to form a band together with his friend Clay Cook called Lo Fi Masters. Eventually due to some differences in style of music, they split-up, and Mayer decided to continue as a solo artist. John has a collection of over 200 guitars and take at least 40 of them on tour. In this article we probably will not manage to list all them. Instead we’ll focus on the ones he plays often and seems to enjoy the most. He also has the habit to switch his guitars and effects pretty often, so it’s almost impossible to make a steady, exact list of his equipment."

Buying a Fender Stratocaster - A Guide for the Novice One of the most confusing guitars for the novice guitar buyer to consider is the Fender Stratocaster (aka Strat). There are so many different variants of the Stratocaster being produced by Fender (or Fender licensed entities) that it's nearly impossible for first time buyers to have any idea what the differences are or why there are so many in the first place. Here's what I hope will be a guide for the novice. I am certainly not an expert on the subject. This is not intended to enlighten experts so please keep that in mind while reading. But I believe I've learned enough during my own experiences to be of some assistance and guidance to those just starting out in this endeavor. For the sake of simplicity, I'm just going to talk about the most common recent production Stratocasters. Keep in mind that there are a whole slew of others out there including vintage American and Japanese Standards and Squiers, Korean Pro-Tone Squiers, vintage re-issue and anniversary models, Classic and Deluxe Series, Custom Shop models, Artist models etc., that are beyond the scope of this guide."

Gynecologists are medical experts who are specially trained in women’s health. They typically perform routine “well woman” exams and treat any range of conditions or problems that involve the female reproductive system. Many also have expertise is obstetrics, which involves the care of pregnant women and growing fetuses. Women who seek abortions usually also consult gynecologists with obstetric training. Basic Expertise and Duties Most medical systems around the world recommend that women of childbearing age visit a gynecologist once a year for what is known as a “well woman” exam. The practitioner will use this exam to take a look at how a woman’s body is maintaining its reproductive capabilities, and to address any problems before they become major issues. Ad The practitioner will typically focus his or her energy on the vagina, the uterus, and the ovaries. Patients typically undress from the waist down, allowing the expert to examine the organs first from the outside, then internally as well. Gynecologists typically use a device known as a “ speculum ” to open the woman’s reproductive cavity and collect a small number of cell samples that can be sent off for testing to detect conditions like cervical cancer or sexually transmitted diseases."

You don't HAVE to go to an ob/gyn though - I received all of my pre-natal care from a nurse/midwife and she delivered my daughter. There was an ob/gyn on staff just in case of a problem, but my experience was that the midwife was more sensitive to my needs and comfort.

"text": "\"Number 439, August 2009 (Reaffirmed 2015)Committee on Ethics PDF Format Informed Consent*ABSTRACT: Obtaining informed consent for medical treatment, for participation in medical research, and for participation in teaching exercises involving students and residents is an ethical requirement that is partially reflected in legal doctrines and requirements. As an ethical doctrine, informed consent is a process of communication whereby a patient is enabled to make an informed and voluntary decision about accepting or declining medical care. In this Committee Opinion, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Ethics describes the history, ethical basis, and purpose of informed consent and identifies special ethical questions pertinent to the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Two major elements in the ethical concept of informed consent, comprehension (or understanding) and free consent, are reviewed. Limits to informed consent are addressed. * Update of \"\"Informed Consent\"\" in Ethics in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Second Edition, 2004. Informed consent is an ethical concept that has become integral to contemporary medical ethics and medical practice. In recognition of the ethical importance of informed consent, the Committee on Ethics of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) affirms the following eight statements: Obtaining informed consent for medical treatment, for participation in medical research, and for participation in teaching exercises involving students and residents is an ethical requirement that is partially reflected in legal doctrines and requirements. Seeking informed consent expresses respect for the patient as a person; it particularly respects a patient's moral right to bodily integrity, to self-determination regarding sexuality and reproductive capacities, and to support of the patient's freedom to make decisions within caring relationships. Informed consent not only ensures the protection of the patient against unwanted medical treatment, but it also makes possible the patient's active involvement in her medical planning and care."

A gynecologist will make a cut along the perineum that is between the vagina and rectum. This cut helps make the vaginal opening larger to aid in an easier childbirth. An episiotomy can prevent tearing in the perineum that can occur during childbirth. This surgery is only performed if necessary. For example, if a mother's vaginal opening is too small for the baby to pass through, or if a baby is coming out feet first, an episiotomy can help."

"text": "\"Rising Cost of OB/GYN Medical Malpractice Insurance Tags: | Comments: 0 | February 3rd, 2011The cost of OB/GYN medical malpractice insurance is rising rapidly with every passing year. Medical malpractice premiums have many factors that go into determining the premium; specialty, risk, location, part time, full time, and existing claims. But, one factor always stays the same – medical malpractice insurance for OB/GYN physicians will always have expensive premiums . OB/GYN physicians also have the longest “tail” exposure and expensive tail coverage costs. In most states there is a two year statute of limitations to file a medical malpractice claim. However, most states have a stipulation that states the injured party has two years from “time of discovery” to file their claim. In addition, the two years statute of limitation does not start until the injured party reaches the age of eighteen. This means that OB/GYN patients theoretically have up to twenty-one years to file a medical malpractice claim . Medical malpractice insurance companies that insure OB/GYN physicians assume a much more risk due to the long period of time that patients have to file a claim. Here are examples of how much OB/GYN malpractice insurance premiums fluctuate from state to state."

The good news is that this procedure is simple and can be rapidly performed within the comforts of a patient room in your doctor's office. That being said, understanding what a colposcopy entails can lessen any anxiety you may feel going into one. Why Am I Getting a Colposcopy? Your doctor may advise a colposcopy if your Pap smear results indicate abnormal cervical changes. According to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG), it may also be performed to evaluate for:an inflamed cervix (this is called cervicitis)non-cancerous growths on the cervix (polyps)genital warts on the cervix These abnormalities may have been noted by your doctor during your pelvic exam and Pap smear. In addition, your doctor may also perform a colposcopy if you report abnormal symptoms like pain or bleeding. How to Prepare for Your Colposcopy It's best to undergo your colposcopy when you are not menstruating. It's also important to not place anything into your vagina for at least one day prior to the procedure -- this means not using any vaginal creams, having sex, douching, or using tampons. It's also important to let your doctor know if you are taking any blood-thinning medications like aspirin or warfarin."

"text": "\"3 Ways to Change White Balance in Lightroom A Post By: Elizabeth Halford Did you know there are three different ways to edit your white balance in Lightroom? White balance is something that many photographers select with their in-camera settings and its function is to correct too warm or too cool colour casts as a result of the lighting in your scene. For example, fluorescent lighting is very ‘cool’ lighting and your images will take on a cold colour cast if not corrected with a warming colour balance in the camera settings. However, if the images are shot in RAW and the files remain open to total in-computer control, the while balance can be better-altered in computer editing programs. This means you can either alter an incorrect balance or employ changes to achieve a more creative interpretation of your scene (exe: to add a warm, golden hour glow). You can make these changes in a JPG, but the options aren’t as large as those for RAW files. Method 1 – Drop Down The first way you can change your WB in LR is in the drop-down menu. When you select this drop-down, you are faced with 9 options which are the same settings you will see in your camera. Just click them to experiment and see your image change. If the file is a jpeg, you will see only 2 options: auto and custom.pp Method 2 – Sliders There are two sliders in the white balance section in Lightroom."

( Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze)Unlike the creation of, well, creation, which (allegedly) only took six days, Heavy Metal took a slightly longer bath in the primordial stew before making it's grand entrance onto the world stage. For the sake of brevity, we begin our journey in the 1960's. The early half of the decade witnessed an unparalled explosion of popular music. Vanguard acts, such as The Beatles ( I Wanna Hold Your Hand ), The Rolling Stones ( Paint It Black ), The Who ( My Generation ), and The Kinks ( You Really Got Me ), emerged as the \"\"third generation\"\" of rock and roll (behind the blues originators and the Elvis Presely/Little Richard generation). Each of these groups contributed to the creation the \"\"rock band\"\" archetype: loud, unpredictable, rebellious, and even dangerous. By the latter half of the 1960's, the next generation of \"\"rock stars\"\" began to sow first seeds of protypical Heavy Metal. Drawing inspiration from their blues and rock and roll forebearers, \"\"hard rock\"\" acts, like Cream ( Tales of Brave Ulysses ), Led Zeppelin ( Communication Breakdown ), and The Jimi Hendrix Experience ( Voodoo Child ), provided the soundtrack for a generation increasing disaffected by social injustice and the escalating war in Vietnam. What differentiated these acts from their predecessors was technological advances that enabled new heights in sonic disruption (Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues). These acts were markedly louder not only in volume, but in weaving of brutally blunt social commentary into their lyrics."

"text": "\"Vibrance vs. Saturation in Plain English A Post By: Elizabeth Halford Recently I posted about the difference between exposure, brightness and fill light. Today, I want to talk about the difference between vibrance and saturation. Those fun little color boosting sliders which can make or break a shot. First, I’ll give you some definitions and the we’ll look closer at the difference made on a shot. { Saturation}Saturation is a uniform bumping up the intensity of all colors in your shot, regardless of the starting point of the colors. This can result in clipping (over saturation of certain colors which results in loss of detail in those areas) and over saturation of skin tones leaving them looking too orange and unnatural. { Vibrance}Vibrance is a smart-tool which cleverly increases the intensity of the more muted colors and leaves the already well-saturated colors alone. It’s sort of like fill light, but for colors. Vibrance also prevents skin tones from becoming overly saturated and unnatural. See the below example made in Lightroom: In the middle shot, the saturation was turned up to +50 and you can see what the red bricks have gotten a tad out of control."

As the Greeks were still seen as the masters in this field, as in philosophy and most sciences, the leading Roman families often either sent their sons to study these things under a famous master in Greece (as was the case with the young Julius Caesar ), or engaged a Greek teacher (under pay or as a slave).

"text": "\"Geopolitics Geopolitics is the art and practice of using political power over a given territory. Traditionally, the term has applied primarily to the impact of geography on politics, but its usage has evolved over the past century to encompass a wider connotation. In academic circles, the study of geopolitics involves the analysis of geography, history and social science with reference to spatial politics and patterns at various scales (ranging from the level of the state to international). The term was coined by Rudolf Kjellén, a Swedish political scientist, at the beginning of the 20th century. Kjellén was inspired by the German geographer Friedrich Ratzel, who published his book Politische Geographie (political geography) in 1897, popularized in English by American diplomat Robert Strausz-Hupé, a faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania. Halford Mackinder also greatly pioneered the field, though he did not use the term geopolitics [1].

The concept of geopolitics initially gained attention through the work of Kazza Spoons and Sir Halford Mackinder in England and his formulation of the Heartland Theory in 1904. Mackinder's doctrine of geopolitics involved concepts diametrically opposed to the notion of Alfred Thayer Mahan about the significance of navies (he coined the term sea power) in world conflict. The Heartland theory hypothesized the possibility for a huge empire being brought into existence in the Heartland, which wouldn't need to use coastal or transoceanic transport to The basic notions of Mackinder's doctrine involve considering the geography of the Earth as being divided into two sections, the World Island or Core, comprising Eurasia and Africa; and the Periphery, including the Americas, the British Isles, and Oceania."

IT WAS THE SPRING of 1968, and I was in eighth-grade geology class. I cannot recall the lecture that hour, but I can with no difficulty whatsoever remember the article in a February 1967 back issue of Field & Stream that I retrieved from the school library earlier that day, which featured several tiers around the country and some of their favorite ties. Alongside the photo of Harry and Elsie Darbee were three Catskill dry flies. One of those was the Quill Gordon. After examining the faint image of the fly, I was determined to tie it. A typical Catskill dry fly tied in the tradition of her parents, Mary Dette Clark’s Quill Gordon (Paul Weamer collection) sports uniformly wrapped stripped peacock eye body, towering wood -duck wings, neatly wound dun hackle, and a space behind the hook eye for a turle knot. Photo by Jay Nichols. The Quill Gordon (or Gordon Quill) was so admired that it even made its way into British fly fishing catalogs, including the Hardy catalog. It is still common in the boxes of Catskill anglers."

New Service Tells You Posted on March 20, 2009 in Socialsarah perez Contributing Writer So you’ve joined Twitter and have finally started to get the hang of things. You know to put an “@” sign in front of usernames for public replies and you know how to send private messages with a “d.” You filled out your profile and have mastered the art of Tiny URLs. You even found some interesting people to follow and have started conversations with them. There’s just one thing holding you back from complete Twittervana: those odd-looking abbreviations in people’s tweets preceded by the pound sign (#). Congratulations, you’ve stumbled upon the Twitter hashtag, a tracking tool for Twitter topics. But what do they mean? If you’re a pro Twitterer, skip ahead to details about the new hashtag resource. About Hashtags Hashtags in Twitter are a community-driven convention for adding metadata to your tweets. They were originally developed to create groups on Twitter for tracking a topic."

"text": "\"Method1 Using Hashtags With Tweets1 Understand hashtags. The universe of Twitter is vast and can be a little confusing to navigate. Hashtags are one of the most important and efficient ways of organizing information on Twitter. Anyone can make a hashtag at any time, simply by typing a phrase of the form “#topic” in a tweet. For example, if you were tweeting about reading this article, you might say \"\"Reading #wikihow article on using #hashtags with #twitter.\"\" Then, anybody searching for #wikihow, #hashtags, or #twitter would see your tweet. After a hashtag has been created, other Twitter users can use that hashtag in their own tweets to add to the larger conversation about that topic. Hashtags can be as general (#wiki How) or as specific (#How To Use Hashtags On Twitter) as desired. They are a completely organic form of organization, created and managed by Twitter users, not Twitter itself.2 Create your own hashtag. The form for doing this is exactly the same as for including an already existing hashtag."

Posted by Nick Lewis on Mar 21, 2013 in Blog, Hashtags, Social Media, Twitter | 76 comments The pound sign or hashtag is visually represented by the symbol ‘ # ’, and by placing the symbol in front of a word (or series of words) on a social network, it will turn that word into a metadata tag . In simple English, the # symbol turns the word (s) immediately following it into a searchable term that can be used on that website or social network, which is activated by someone clicking on that hashtag. [ Since this article was published, there have been numerous developments with the use of hashtags within social media and the wider world; you can read about them here]The Hashtag aka the pound sign (Image via Shutterstock)Once clicked, the viewer will be presented with a series of posts by others (and possibly yourself) that feature the word which has been turned into a hashtag. As you can imagine, this can be a very powerful marketing or lobbying tool, and can be used by the typical user of social media to highlight their post to others who may be commentating on the same thing. So, for example, if I wanted to comment on the UK Budget of 2013 on Social Media, I would see what hashtags others are using to highlight their posts on various social networks, and then use it myself. Therefore, my post would be something along the lines of “The Chancellor is looking nervous in the House of Commons #UKBudget2013”. Anyone clicking on #UKBudget2013 in either my post or another’s would see a stream of posts on that social network that have also utilised, thereby creating an open thread or conversation on that platform. The following series of words #This Is AHashtag is, in itself, an example of a Hashtag within a Tweet.— Nick Lewis (NLC) (@NLCuk) March 20, 2013Did you notice that the multiple words and numbers within #UKBudget2013 had been concertinaed together?"

While the phrase can be used literally, it is often parodied by being attached to videos or photographs of people engaging in awkward behavior. Origin It’s currently unknown where the term originated. The first online examples, including some GIFS with the tag and a Yahoo answers post, seem to appear in November 2013. [ 1] At that point, the only social media platforms that allowed direct messaging were Twitter and Facebook; Instagram introduced direct messaging in December of 2013, [2] and Vine premiered the feature in April of 2014. [ 3]One of the first popular examples of the term was this hip hop single by M-Boy titled “Slide Into Your DMs,” which was released on January 8th, 2014.

"text": "What does ‘Trending’ mean and what is a ‘Hashtag’? What is ‘Trending’? Before the development of social networks, trending would’ve referred to physical items and sounds that were gaining a sudden, and perhaps unnecessary, increase in popularity. In the 1990s, this could have included Beanie Babies, yes those small stuffed toys which are still gathering dust in your loft, the Spice Girls and that awful dance craze, the Macarena. However, the term can also describe the most popular conversation topics, often within major cities, countries or the world. Quite often, they arise as a result of a major event, such as the election of Pope Francis, the death of a famous figure, television programs, including the current series of Masterchef, or by the fans of sporting teams and musicians, especially One Direction and that gracious human being Justin Bieber. Rightly so, in my opinion, trending topics on social media are most associated with Twitter. But Google+ also provide a similar list of the most talked about subjects, plus up and down arrows which indicate whether or not users continue to engage with those issues. In addition, You Tube publicise the most shared and most viewed videos in the world, although it appears that it can’t be accessed from their website, whilst Facebook and Pinterest also promote the most popular news articles and images.

But you might not be aware of some (or any) of the limits Instagram actually imposes on its site. For a variety of reasons, Instagram caps numerous functions on their site.

According to Instagram, in order to “reduce spam”, they limit the number of people you can follow to 7500. Not that many of us will follow that many people, but keep this in mind if you’re an active follower on Instagram. If you’re approaching that limit, it might be time to go through and determine if there are people worth unfollowing.

RDS has a huge line of clothing available, from hats to shirts to pants and even snowboarding clothing. In this review, we'll take a look at a selection of Red Dragon (RDS) skater clothing. What Does the Red Dragon Symbol Mean? RDS clothing all features the Red Dragons symbol, seen in the pictures here (sideways on the belt). The company got the name \"\"Red Dragons\"\" from the early days of Colin Mc Kay -- he and his friends were all skaters in Vancouver, BC, and decided that they needed to come up with a name for their skate gang. They liked the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (the movie by the same name was made in 2002). The link with the Chinese symbol goes back even further though, to the game of Mahjong, where one of three Dragon tiles is the red character for Center, also known as the Red Dragon. The RDS company was started by the Red Dragons which produced the skateboarding video, \"\"Skateboard Party.\"\" RDS has a skatepark near Vancouver BC and sponsors a pile of riders."

Željko Heimer Based on a photo of the flag (not necessarily the most reliable of evidence), the eagle occupies 17/20 of the height of the white stripe, but there are apparently no official dimensions and I am reliably informed that flags do vary. Christopher Southworth, 16 April 2005Based on photos at the Egyptian Presidency website, almost all show the obverse side, but some of them shows the reverse: 22 May 2004 , 19 February 2004 , 4 March_2002 . It seems that the eagle always faces towards the hoist.

Updated Aug 20, 2016 · Author has 681 answers and 7.4m answer views What an owl hunts is dependent on what type of owl it is, which therefore tells you what type of habitat that they live and hunt in. Forest owls, like the Barred Owl or Screech Owl, feast upon creatures that live in the woods such as squirrels and chipmunks. Forest owls hunt by sitting in a tree above an area likely to have prey, and when they hear something rustling in the leaves, they will drop straight down on top of it and crush it with their very strong grip. Field hunting owls, like the Great Horned Owl, will have more opportunities at prey such as field mice, rabbits, skunks and snakes. Field owls will hunt in a fashion similar to Red Tailed Hawks. They will sit in a tree on the edge of a large pasture or open area and watch for movement. Then they will fly out, sometimes very large distances, and land on their prey, crushing it to death with their feet and talons. They will also capture bats in mid-flight. Owls will also attack smaller owls."

This article lays down some of the important facts about different eagle species. Eagles are one of the largest birds of prey that belong to the family of Accipitridae. Most of these species are endemic to Eurasia and Africa; out of which bald eagles and golden eagles are the only species that subsides in the North America and Canada only. Eagles generally build their nests on lofty trees in tropical and subtropical forests where water is abundant. Like other raptors, females are slightly larger as compared to males. These are the aggressive birds and do not allow anyone to approach their nests. While they migrate toward north in spring season; these birds of prey travel to south in fall in quest for food. They have long eye brows that provides a shade against sunlight. Eagles rarely miss any prey for the reason that they have sharp eyesight and powerful talons that makes the kill almost unmoved."

The sacred symbolism of birds is seen clearly through observation of the spiritual practices of early African tribes and in Egyptian civilization. These ancient tribes studied the sacred symbolism of birds because they were thought to express the divine will and expression of God. The sacred symbolism of birds is interwoven into the mythology and spirituality of early African tribes. Early Egyptian gods were zoomorphic; this means they had animal characteristics. The Egyptian god Horus was known as the Sky God. He is usually shown with hawk’s head. The pronunciation of his name in the Egyptian hieroglyphs was Haru, meaning falcon, brother to the hawk. He is an example of the divine qualities of the falcon and hawk in human form."

There is a famous red-tailed hawk that has nested on the side of a skyscraper on the edge of New York City’s Central Park for over twenty years. The male hawk, known as “Pale Male”, has an entire film documentary about him, his various mates, and his young. It seems that the spirits prefer to send red-tails as messengers because of their gregarious and more approachable nature. In a sense, they are the labrador retrievers of the hawk world and both in spirit and in the flesh they can be our loyal best friends. The are also very conspicuous, found throughout North America in nearly every type of open or semi-open habitat. Seeing red-tailed hawks is such a common occurrence that one may miss the significance of red-tailed hawk symbolism all together, but just because a host of angels are sent to the skies above you doesn’t mean you should ignore them. Symbolism of Red-Tailed Hawk Feathers The red tail feathers of this hawk are extremely significant as they bring strong power in relation to the first chakra, otherwise known as the root chakra. The first chakra relates to situations and circumstances around family, friends, and community. Here is where our insecurities around being abandoned, outcast, and left alone are held."

Talk to others about their beliefs and ask them what animals come to mind when they describe the relationships between that kingdom and the kingdom of their God.

"text": "Bird animal totems have been used symbolically within all cultures throughout history. However, it is the Native American culture that is most often associated with the term animal totems. These totems are animal spirit guides who serve as messengers and are with us throughout our physical and spiritual lives to help us gain insights, self-awareness, enhance our connection to the past and even see glimpses of future events. In the true sense, specific animal instincts and characteristics represent the qualities that we humans should learn to emulate. However, because we lead such busy and complicated lives, often there is no time for self-reflection. Having animal totems surround us gives us pause to reflect and perhaps make important changes for the better to our mind, body and spirit. At times, they can come into our lives when we are at a crossroads or during times of major decision-making. Each specific animal has its own cycle of power. This cycle is the time at which the animal can pass on his most important messages and powerful energies to you. For example, the bear has a cycle of power that is spring and summer, because he is not as active during the winter months when he spends some of that time hibernating."

( fleur de noisetier image by Toanet from Fotolia.com)The Hazelnut plant can be either a medium-sized shrub or a small tree, depending on whether it is regularly pruned. In the fall, the tree develops small, edible nuts that are often used for cooking. The tree is a medium to fast grower, according to the Arbor Day Foundation, and can be found growing in the wild as well as in home landscapes. Identifying a Hazelnut tree can be done any time of year by looking for several identifying characteristics. Look in areas of full, direct sunlight since the Hazelnut does not survive in shady locations. Hazelnut trees grow in any soil type and can be found in all areas of the U. S except for tropical and subtropical locations. Look for medium-sized trees that are approximately 15 to 18 feet tall and have a round shape at the top. Move close to the tree trunk and fee the bark to determine if it is smooth to the touch and is a dark brown colour with a slight grey tint. Examine the leaves of the tree to see if they are dark green on top and a lighter green on the bottom."

"text": "Dormice – Not Mice At All! ~ by Angus These are surprisingly interesting animals which might turn out to live in your woodland. The first surprise is that they are not mice at all, although they are rodents. There are two sorts of dormice you might come across – the edible dormouse ( Glis glis) and the native dormouse, sometimes called the hazel dormouse and technically known as Muscardinus avellanarius. The edible one was only introduced into Britain in 1902 and is only found in a 200 square mile area around the area near to where it was introduced – Tring in Hertfordshire. It was farmed for eating in Roman times and is still eaten as a delicacy in Slovenia, but in England it is protected and therefore, despite its name, is not on any menu. You are much more likely to find the native dormouse, and it is this one that this blog is concerned with. If you do find one it is distinctive in having a furry tail, a golden coat and black eyes. The native dormouse hibernates from about October until April and it is one of only three British mammals that hibernate – the others being the hedgehog and the bat. If you accidentally disturb it, it will probably be in its classic sleeping position curled up with its tail wrapped around its head and this suggests the origin of its name - from the French “dormir” - to sleep."

Galic, P. Bailey, A. Dale, E. Currie, M. Filotas PDF - 1.19 mb Table of contents Introduction Orchard Establishment Orchard Management Harvesting Food Safety Post Harvest Operations Resources Introduction This Factsheet describes how to grow hazelnuts in Ontario as a commercial business. Topics cover the basics of selecting the appropriate climatic region and ideal soil type for hazelnuts, preparing a field for planting, planting the hazelnut trees and managing the orchard once it is established. Various methods of harvest are discussed, followed by proper handling, processing and storage requirements of the hazelnut crop. A section on food safety links the importance of developing on-farm protocol for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure the food that farmers produce is safe for consumption and of high quality, from the field to the consumer. Orchard Establishment Site Selection Climatic Requirements To maximize the annual cropping potential of hazelnut orchards and minimize the risk of winter freezing injury or spring frost injury, plant hazelnut orchards close to large bodies of water, such as the Great Lakes or regions of the province that are known to support other fruit orchard industries. Many hazelnut varieties that are new to Ontario require further testing to fully determine the tolerance of each crop and pollinizer variety to local winter and spring climates. The most cold-hardy hazelnut varieties will be killed by -40°C temperatures, so avoid planting hazelnuts in any area of the province where ? 40°C occurs at least once every 15 years (Figure 1). European hazelnut varieties, such as those originating from Europe or from the Oregon State University hazelnut breeding program, are most sensitive to winter cold and frost injury, and have climatic requirements similar to peaches and other tender fruit. European varieties are better suited to the most climatically moderated regions of the province, such as the Niagara peninsula or along the north shore of Lake Erie."

"text": "Growing Hazelnuts or Filberts Search for other topics in Food-Skills-for-Self-Sufficiency.com: Growing hazelnuts is an opportunity grow and harvest nuts at home without having to plant trees that will grow huge, and take years before they produce. Hazelnuts or American filberts are native to the American Midwest, and grow in fertile, well drained soil. They also make an attractive hedgerow or individual planting that grows about 10 feet tall and wide. Once established, they can produce heavily and consistently. Growing Hazelnuts - Propagation Hazelnuts can be propagated in two ways: You can start new plants from nuts. They tend to take some time to germinate, and do best when planted in pots with light potting soil. When they do germinate, let them grow to at least 6 - 12 inches before you transplant them in their final home. If you try this method, use a file to scribe a small notch through the shell of the nut before planting. This is supposed to aid in quicker germination, and a higher percentage of overall germination. An easier way to propagate is by digging starts from established bushes (if you can actually find source plants)."

"text": "\"Hazelnut (Filbert Nuts, Cobnuts): Benefits, Side Effects and Information Contents Hazelnut Health Benefits Hazelnut Side Effects Hazelnut Nutrition Facts Hazelnuts, also known as filbert nuts or cobnuts depending on their species, are produced by hazel trees, which grow in temperate climates in many parts of the world, although they are native to Europe and Asia. A cob is oval or spherical while a filbert is more elongated. After pollination, it takes about 7-8 months for the nut to ripe and fall out of the husk. Turkey is the largest producer of hazelnut in the world and in the American states of Oregon and Washington hazelnuts are produced in large commercial quantities. Chile, Australia and New Zealand also produce hazelnuts. Hazelnut wood is used to make bows. The hazelnut trees grow with fairly straight shoots and they have fine grains, that makes them suitable shaft material. The distinctive slightly bitter flavor of hazelnuts is suitable for use in savory and sweet dishes, although the nuts are most frequently used in desserts, especially paired with chocolate. Hazelnuts are mainly used in confectionery to make praline. Hazelnuts or hazelnut paste are extensively used in chocolate industry for making different products like Nutella and chocolate truffles."

It was as if no other couple had ever taken a picture on the Pont Neuf, strolled through the Tuileries, scratched their heads over the surprisingly minuscule size of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, or eaten a Nutella-filled crêpe in the street. When the street cart crêpier tossed his chin out to us, his way of asking what kind of crêpe we wanted, I hesitated.

A growing body of evidence suggests that nuts, as part of a healthy diet, can have a tremendous health benefit, says the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration notes that almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts and walnuts -- all of which contain under 4 grams of saturated fat per 1.5-ounce serving -- may actually reduce the risk of heart disease. These nuts also contain particular vitamins and minerals that can increase overall health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Antioxidant-Rich Almonds Almonds (about 23 nuts per 1-ounce serving) are a great source of vitamin E, magnesium, calcium and folate, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Vitamin E is an antioxidant known to protect the body from tissue damage caused by free radicals, and it also plays a key role in keeping the immune system strong against viruses and bacteria. Magnesium is essential to the body's function, keeping blood pressure normal, bones strong and heart rhythm steady. Calcium helps form and maintain healthy bones, while folate is important for preventing anemia and birth defects. Healthy Hazelnuts Sometimes called filberts, hazelnuts (about 21 nuts per 1-ounce serving) are rich in monounsaturated fats. Like almonds, they are a very good source of vitamin E; they also contain copper and manganese."

Back in 1806, Napoleon tried to freeze out British commerce as a means to win the Napoleonic wars (and take over the world). The result was a disastrous continental blockade that caused the cost of chocolate to skyrocket and left Piedmontese chocolatiers in the lurch. Ever resourceful, chocolatiers in Turin started adding chopped hazelnuts to chocolate to stretch the supply as much as possible. The ensuing deliciousness was a fateful paste dubbed “ gianduia .”Over a century later, chocolate again became expensive and scarce due to rationing in Europe during World War II. An Italian pastry maker named Pietro Ferrero once again turned to the mighty hazelnut for salvation in 1946 and created Pasta Gianduja, renamed “ Nutella ” in 1964.

"text": "\"Planting & Growing Hazelnuts How do hazelnut trees produce hazelnuts? Unlike other fruiting trees, the hazelnut tree blooms and pollinates in the middle of winter. Wind carries the pollen from catkins (male flowers) to small red female flowers, where pollination occurs. The flowers remain inactive until spring, when fertilisation completes and the nuts begin to develop. The natural growth habit of the hazelnut is a bush, or multi-stemmed small tree as found in Turkey and Southern Europe. In the US, hazelnut trees are grown as single trunk trees that can grow to 5 metres or more. All varieties of hazelnuts require cross-pollination in order to produce nuts, so every planting requires two or more varieties. In the US, where cultivation and automation exceeds that of Europe, the principal varieties grown are Barcelona (originally derived from Spain in the 19th century), Ennis, Lewis and Casina. Ennis, a later and heavier yielder compared to Barcelona, produces a larger nut suitable for both in shell and out of shell production. Lewis produces a medium nut, whilst Casina produces a small nut."

"text": "Hazelnut Milk Hazelnut milk is the answer to my mild aversion to Almond Milk. It's strange that hazelnut milk tastes just like you'd expect—hazelnuts—but almond milk doesn't taste much like almonds to me. Not only do I prefer the taste, but I am a bit obsessive about not repeating too many of the same foods in one day. I like to diversify my nut consumption, and since there are already whole almonds in my muesli, I'd rather eat it with hazelnut milk, than more almonds. Hazelnut milk is just as easy as Almond Milk. I originally avoided making my own nut milk because so many recipes recommended using a powerful blender, to properly pulverize the nuts. I use my parents' anicent Osterizer blender, which I remember going to the liquidation store to get. It works fine. In other news, I am officially finished my Baking and Pastry Arts program—I had my final practical exam yesterday. I'm really glad I took the course, and I'll miss feeling like I am learning and improving my baking skills every week, but it's also nice to be done with school...again."
