Altough it's still being taught in Poland, I wouldn't expect many young people to be able to speak it. Russian and Polish have a lot in common, but even if we can recognize certain words which sound familiar, we still can't understand everything and communicate, without being taught to.

The term \"\"code page\"\" originated from IBM 's EBCDIC -based mainframe systems, [1] but Microsoft, SAP, [2] and Oracle Corporation [3] are among the few vendors which use this term. The majority of vendors identify their own character sets by a name. In the case when there is a plethora of character sets (like in IBM), identifying character sets through a number is a convenient way to distinguish them. Originally, the code page numbers referred to the page numbers in the IBM standard character set manual, [4] [5] [6] a condition which has not held for a long time. Vendors that use a code page system allocate their own code page number to a character encoding, even if it is better known by another name; for example, UTF-8 has been assigned page numbers 1208 at IBM, 65001 at Microsoft, and 4110 at SAP. Hewlett-Packard uses a similar concept in its HP-UX operating system and its Printer Command Language [7] (PCL) protocol for printers (either for HP printers or not). The terminology, however, is different: What others call a character set, HP calls a symbol set, and what IBM or Microsoft call a code page, HP calls a symbol set code. HP developed a series of symbol sets, [8] [9] each with an associated symbol set code, to encode both its own character sets and other vendors’ character sets. The multitude of character sets leads many vendors to recommend Unicode." }, { "docid": "D166180#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2785\nLithuania", "text": "\"Wiki Answers ® Categories Travel & Places Countries, States, and Cities Lithuania Unanswered \| Answered Lithuania Parent Category: Countries, States, and Cities The Republic of Lithuania is a North European neighbor of Poland.

In a historical sense, the term refers to both official and unofficial policies of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union with respect to their national constituents and to national minorities in Russia, aimed at Russian domination. The major areas of Russification are politics and culture. In politics, an element of Russification is assigning Russian nationals to leading administrative positions in national institutions. In culture, Russification primarily amounts to domination of the Russian language in official business and strong influence of the Russian language on national idioms.

Germany and the USSR launched a joint war against Poland in September of 1939, which the Soviets followed up with invasions of Finland, Romania, and the Baltic states across the following year. After Germany crushed France, and determined that it could not easily drive Great Britain from the war, the Wehrmacht turned its attention back to the East. Following the conquests of Greece and Yugolavia in the spring of 1941, Berlin prepared its most ambitious campaign; the destruction of Soviet Russia. The ensuing war would result in a staggering loss of human life, and in the final destruction of the Nazi regime. The Fight on Land On June 22, 1941, the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe struck Soviet forces across a wide front along the German-Soviet frontier. Romanian forces attacked into Soviet-occupied Bessarabia on the same day. The Finnish armed forces joined the fight later that week, with Hungarian troops and aircraft entering combat at the beginning of July. By that time, a significant contribution of Italian troops was on its way to the Eastern Front. A Spanish volunteer division would eventually join the fight, along with large formations recruited from Soviet prisoners of war and from the local civilian population of occupied Soviet territories." }, { "docid": "D1436061#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_grammar\nLithuanian grammar", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

The Grand Duchy was a successful and lasting warrior state. It remained fiercely independent and was one of the last areas of Europe to adopt Christianity (beginning in the 14th century). A formidable power, it became the largest state in Europe in the 15th century through the conquest of large groups of East Slavs who resided in Ruthenia. [ 2] In 1385, the Grand Duchy formed a dynastic union with Poland through the Union of Krewo. Later, the Union of Lublin (1569) created the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that lasted until 1795, when the last of the Partitions of Poland erased both Lithuania and Poland from the political map.

They hold their veselija, or wedding feast, according to Lithuanian custom. The celebration takes place in a hall near the Chicago stockyards in an area of the city known as Packingtown because it is the center of the meat-packing industry. Food, beer, and music fill the hall. Following Lithuanian tradition, hungry people lingering in the doorway are invited inside to eat their fill. The musicians play badly but, amid the general festivity, no one seems to mind. The highlight of the celebration is the acziavimas: the guests, linking their hands, form a rotating circle while the musicians play; the bride stands in the middle and each male guest takes a turn dancing with her. After the dance, each male guest is expected to drop money into a hat, held by Teta Elzbieta, Ona's stepmother. Each gives according to his means, helping the newlyweds pay for the veselija, which can cost upward of three hundred dollars—more than a year's wages for many of the guests. Many unscrupulous guests take advantage of the families of the newlyweds at these celebrations, however, filling themselves with food and drink and leaving without contributing any money." } ]

Some lizards are carnivores (eat only animal products), some are herbivores (eat only vegetable and fruit) and some are omnivores (eat both meat and vegetables plus fruit). It is impossible to generalize what lizards eat, as different lizard species require different diets to be healthy. We know that all lizards need fresh water daily, and most also need supplemental nutrients—such as calcium and vitamin D3, plus a multivitamin—the frequency of which depends on their species, age and breeding status. Typically, supplemental vitamins and minerals are provided as a powder dusted in small amounts on insects or produce, depending on the lizard’s diet. For most commonly kept captive lizards, calcium without added vitamin D3 should be sprinkled on food every other day alternating with calcium containing vitamin D3 on the days in between. In addition, a multivitamin should be offered on food once a week. Finally, regardless of species, lizards should never be fed fire flies (also called lightning bugs), as these insects are toxic and typically kill all lizards that ingest them. Perhaps the most commonly kept lizards today include bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and chameleons.

This can lead to weaker bones, swollen joints or, in extreme cases, malformed skeletons or paralysis. Fortunately we know more than ever before about bearded dragon diets so its now possible to provide exactly what your beardie needs by following a few simple rules. Contents [ show]Introduction to Bearded Dragon Diets Bearded dragons are omnivores; this means they eat both meat and plants. In captivity this generally means a combination of live insects and an assortment of vegetables. Leafy vegetables offer arguably the best source of plant-based nutrition, though this can be supplemented in moderation with fruits, herbs and a number of wild and garden plants. What is perhaps most interesting in terms of a bearded dragon’s diet is that it changes over the lifetime of the lizard.

Body Temperature Each species of lizard has a range of optimal body temperatures. For example, the desert iguana's body temperature range is 100 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. In the active range of temperatures, lizards can hunt, eat, move quickly and reproduce.

They’re unique among lizards because they have zygodactylous toes, meaning their feet can grip tree trunks and limbs.

Prey Hatchlings and adult chameleons eat essentially the same foods, although older and larger animals can consume bigger prey. Common meals include cockroaches, crickets, grasshoppers, stick insects and other bugs, as well as spiders. In some of the biggest species, such as Meller’s chameleon, which can grow to nearly two feet, adults even dine on their fellow lizards, small birds and, in captivity, baby mice. A few species supplement their insect diet with flowers and leaves; for example, veiled chameleons, which live in deserts, absorb water by eating plants. Hunting Because they move very slowly, chameleons don’t stalk and pounce on their prey. Instead, they wait until prospective meals venture close enough to catch.

Pasture grass and hay is the primary diet, representing 80% of what the animals eat. Pasture grass and hay with about 12% protein is ideal. The feeding program at Able Oaks Ranch is based on body scoring and monthly weigh-ins to determine if an animal is gaining and/or maintaining weight appropropriately. The Camelid Digestive System Camelids (alpacas and llamas) have three stomachs. The first stomach is primarily a big fermentation vat that breaks down the cellulose in the hay and grass that the alpacas eat. The second and third stomachs extract the nutritional components. This type of digestive system is very efficient, enabling alpacas and llamas to get every last bit of nutrition from what they eat. So to keep your alpacas and llamas healthy, you must keep their first stomach working in a good, steady working state. If an animal gets sick, weak from parasites, or ingests the wrong feed, then the digestive process in the first stomack will be disrupted." }, { "docid": "D781927#0", "title": "http://animals.mom.me/llamas-eat-2941.html\nWhat Llamas Eat", "text": "\"The llama (Lama glama) is a domesticated mammal that is a member of the same family as the camel (Camelidae).

We get a lot of questions at Florida Sportsman about the best seafood to eat in our home waters of Florida, and we have a lot of discussions—many of them heated over the coals of a grill—about what’s the best kind of grouper, or snapper or good ways to prepare kingfish or what fish are good eaten raw…But here are the final answers—the very best eating Florida seafood, fish and shellfish, each of them worth tracking down and catching yourself. But first, a couple of caveats: the quality of a cut of fish has as much to do with its handling, freshness and preparation as it does with its kind. The table quality of the fillet drops off a bit after 24 hours in the fridge, and after three days, it’s really not considered fresh anymore by Florida fishermen standards—though still fine to eat. Secondly, there can be variation in the quality and taste of certain species, maybe depending on what that individual has been eating, maybe its age, maybe the circumstances of its catch. For instance, most mutton snappers I’ve eaten have been excellent—certainly a fish worth seeking out fresh if you haven’t tried it—but there have been those muttons that just tasted off—both in flavor and texture.

When we go get live Lobsters from the Wharf we put ice in the bottom of a cooler and then damp newspapers on top. put your live lobsters in there until ready to use. Do not put them ontop of plain ice as it will kill the lobsters. Also, you can keep in the fridge and do not handle until ready for cooking. Handling them also will kill them quicker. Never put them in Salted or fresh water. Once you have them home you should cook as soon as possible. If they should happen to die in the fridge or cooler they can still be cooked but within no more than a few hours.mainlyrean · 1 decade ago1 0 Commenti just posted this a minute ago for someone else." }, { "docid": "D2691215#0", "title": "http://www.mariasfarmcountrykitchen.com/how-to-make-the-perfect-lobster-roll-at-home/\nHow to Make the Perfect Lobster Roll at Home", "text": "How to Make the Perfect Lobster Roll at Home Published on July 16, 2010 in By Maria, Main Dishes with Meat, Organic Food, Recipes15 Comments Rate this recipe Average Rating (2.6 / 5)5 People Rated This Recipe We’ve been going to Maine for 20 years to drop kids off at camp, and each time we have eaten lobster rolls, which are a uniquely Maine delicacy. There seem to be two clear, constant winners of the best lobster roll contest in Maine: the Clam Shack, in Kennebunkport, and Red’s Eats, in Wiscasset. Both are amazing. And I have discovered that their secret is in the simplicity of their approach. Simple means lobster, bun, and melted butter. Simple is not “lobster salad” with mayonnaise, chopped celery and scallions, and herbs. The best lobster rolls are not in any way gourmet, or served in any sort of fancy place—they are best eaten and served close to the water, ordered from a counter, and eaten either standing up or sitting on some plastic chairs—or a splintery wooden bench. Of course, sometimes you need a lobster roll when you are not in Maine, and you are not near the water, and you just have to have one—that’s where this recipe comes in, honed from years of experience eating lobster rolls.

Second, yours are more often called slipper lobster tails, coming from a number of lobster species related to the rock lobster, and are likely to come from the waters off Brazil or Taiwan. Third, frozen lobster tails tend to be tougher than fresh, so there may be a bit of rubberiness no matter what you do. Nonetheless, they should be delicious! As to preparation, you can thaw them in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours or in a microwave oven (especially if it has an auto-defrost setting). You can cook them frozen, but they tend to be more tender if thawed first. Many people would broil them, but it's hard to keep sections from overcooking. You can bake them in a 400°F (205°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes (if they were thawed in advance; longer if frozen).

Around the world, many are beginning to question the commonly accepted methods for killing crustaceans.

New Zealand counts shellfish on its list of animals protected by animal rights laws, Reggio Emilia, Italy forbids the boiling of lobsters and the British Shellfish Network dutifully advocates for lobster liberties. The recent influx of scientific experiments on crustacean pain tolerance and the rise in underwater animal activists has led many to ponder “can killing lobsters be humane?”An article by seafood expert Trevor Corson in The Atlantic explores the debate behind slaughtering lobsters.

In rare cases, a lobster of a different color (colormorph) appears. Exotic lobsters in shades of blue, white, yellow, black, and red have been reported from time to time since the earliest lobster harvests. Perhaps the most unusual colormorphs are the \"\"calico\"\" lobsters appearing as marbled black and orange/yellow; or \"\"half-and-half\"\" lobsters with a line straight down their backs where two colors meet. Calicos and half-and-halfs are hatched that way and they stay that way (until cooked!) because the basic color pattern in lobster shells is inherited just like the color of hair in humans and other mammals. However, some of the blue, brown, green, red, and black tones can be genetic or they can have other causes. In some instances lighter/darker shades can be influenced by diet, sunlight, and bottom type.

Live lobster can also be held in 'pounds' (recirculating tanks or tidal pools) that provide live lobster to market in any season. Summer months with warm waters produce more soft-shell lobsters that have recently moulted. These soft-shell lobsters are weaker and less likely to survive shipping, so summer lobster landings are eaten close to shore, whole or in lobster rolls at festivals all summer long. Soft-shell lobsters are less expensive per pound than hard-shell counterparts, so if you're a consumer it seems like hot summer months are 'the season.' Landings are high during the months of November and December as well due to high market demand leading up to Christmas and New Years. Colder water lobsters have harder shells so these ones are more likely to be shipped live to higher end restaurants. Las Vegas is the biggest market outside of the Northeast. In the past few years, January and February demand has risen becuase if growing interest around Chinese New Year season.

Before it is cooked, lobster shell has a very dark colour, with tints that range from blue/green to red/purple - it gains its distinctive deep red brick colour only when it's cooked. Generally speaking, the colder the waters in which the lobster was fished, the better the flavour. There are three main types: Canadian or American, which have round, very fleshy claws; European, fished around England, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany and Norway, which are considered to have the best flavour; and Slipper or Squat lobster, which live in warmer oceans, such as those surrounding Australia, where they are called 'bugs'.

Loggerheads are among the larger sea turtles; adults weigh an average of 275 pounds and have a shell length of about 3 feet. Its carapace, which is a ruddy brown on top and creamy yellow underneath, is very broad near the front of the turtle and tapers toward the rear. Each of its flippers has two claws. As is true for all sea turtles, the adult male has a long tail, whereas the female's tail is short; however, a juvenile's cannot be determined externally. The powerful jaws of the loggerhead allow it to easily crush the clams, crabs, and other armored animals it eats. A slow swimmer compared to other sea turtles, the loggerhead occasionally falls prey to sharks, and individuals missing flippers or chunks of their shell are not an uncommon sight. However, the loggerhead compensates for its lack of speed with stamina; for example, a loggerhead that had been tagged at Melbourne Beach was captured off the coast of Cuba 11 days later.

This paper attempts to survey and synthesize the known body of knowledge on loggerheads. A brief introduction outlining the taxonomy and morphology of the species is presented, followed by a summary and map of the loggerhead’s vast global range. An extensive discussion of the life history and habits follows, wherein it is clear that there is a great deal more research surrounding terrestrial nesting habits of hatchlings and adults than there is knowledge of juvenile and adult netric and pelagic behavior. Recent genetic connectivity research has important policy implications indicating that conservation should be implemented on a population, rather than species-wide, basis. Human impacts, including bycatch mortality, nesting habitat destruction, contamination, and climate change are analyzed in depth with a view toward addressing the scope and synergistic effects of anthropogenic influences, and an overview and assessment of the efficacy of existing national and international protections is presented. Lastly, several suggestions for future research are proposed. Introduction: The Loggerhead Sea Turtle, scientific name Caretta caretta, are relatively poorly understood (Crowder 1994), given that biologists and taxonomists have been studying them since the mid-1700s (Linnaeus, 1748) (See Appendix for translation of Carl von Linne’s original description). Table 1: Loggerhead Taxonomy (Linneaus, 1748). Caretta caretta is easily distinguished from other sea turtle species." }, { "docid": "D1702441#0", "title": "http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/shark\nWWFAbout Us How to HelpSearchSearch wDonate AdoptOur Work Species Places", "text": "x Species Shark Shark© naturepl.com / Doug Perrine / WWF-Canon Shark Facts Why They Matter Threats What WWF is Doing How You Can Help Adopt a Shark Factsd Weightup to 11 tons CLength8 in.-40 ft.e Habitats Oceans400There are over 400 shark species. Sharks have been around for over hundreds of millions of years. While many of us may be familiar with a few shark species, there are over 400 of them, from the 8-inch-long dwarf lanternshark to the 40-foot-long whale shark. Sharks are efficient predators with a highly developed sense of smell, hearing and sight. They can detect their prey’s scent from a great distance. Sensitive eyes see clearly even in the dim light of the ocean depths. Sharks are carnivorous and eat fish (including other sharks) as well as larger animals such as seals. Others, like the whale shark and the basking shark, feed on tiny plankton or krill. Despite their fearsome reputation as ruthless predators, sharks are much more likely to be killed by humans than the other way around.

As of Tuesday, the hard-shell giants with log-sized heads had laid more than 2,810 nests on the state’s barrier island beaches this nesting season, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. A key recovery goal for loggerheads, listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, is 2,800 nests annually in Georgia. And while sea turtle nesting winds down in mid-July, it’s far from over. DNR Sea Turtle Program Coordinator Mark Dodd expects 3,000-plus nests, about a third more than last year’s 2,335 nests, the previous high since comprehensive surveys began on Georgia beaches in 1989.“When you think about the fact that for many years we averaged about 1,000 nests and this year we may be beyond 3,000 … it suggests an exponential increase,” said Mr. Dodd, a senior wildlife biologist with DNR’s Nongame Conservation Section. Loggerheads are Georgia’s main nesting sea turtle. Weighing as much as 400 pounds, females crawl onto beaches from late spring into August to lay eggs in nests dug on the dry-sand beach. Hatchlings begin emerging in July, scrambling for the surf to begin their lives at sea. Sea turtles face threats varying from habitat loss to nest predation, boat strikes and incidental catch in commercial fishing. All have reduced loggerhead numbers, leading to legal protections and large-scale conservation efforts – protections and efforts that apparently are paying off." }, { "docid": "D1117888#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_turtles\nSea turtle", "text": "\"Sea turtle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sea turtles)navigation search Sea turtle Temporal range: Early Cretaceous - Holocene, [1]110–0 Ma PreЄ Є O S D C P T J K Pg NAn olive ridley sea turtle, a species of the sea turtle superfamily Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines Suborder: Cryptodira Clade: Americhelydia Clade: Panchelonioidea Superfamily: Chelonioidea Bauer, 1893 [2]Type species Chelonia mydas Linnaeus, 1758Families Pancheloniidae Cheloniidae Pandermochelys Dermochelyidae† Protostegidae Synonyms [2]Chelonii - Oppel, 1811 Chlonopteria - Rafinesque, 1814 Cheloniae - Schmid, 1819 Edigitata - Haworth, 1825 Oiacopodae - Wagler, 1828 Pterodactyli - Mayer, 1849Sea turtles (superfamily Chelonioidea ), sometimes called marine turtles, [3] are reptiles of the order Testudines.

The turtle's shell is divided into two sections: the carapace (the dorsal portion) and the plastron (the ventral portion). The shell is made up of smaller plates called scutes. The leatherback is the only sea turtle that does not have a hard shell. Instead, it bears a mosaic of bony plates beneath its leathery skin. In general, sea turtles have a more fusiform body plan than their terrestrial or freshwater counterparts. The reduced volume of a fusiform body means sea turtles can not retract their head, legs, and arms into their shells for protection like other turtles can. [ 5] However this more stream-lined body plan reduces drag in the water and allows the turtle to swim more easily." }, { "docid": "D2184530#0", "title": "http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/turtles/\nSea Turtles", "text": "\"Sea Turtles Sea Turtles Photos Recovery Plans Threats Permits Regulations News Stories Publications More Info What's New?

Due to the wide range of areas that sea turtles move in their life they can contribute to the ecosystem by moving carbon to deeper ocean areas through the carbon cycle. This is done by the turtles eating plants and animals found reefs and other shallow waters, they take in carbon with their food, which can then by delivered to other areas of the ocean if they are eaten migrating. Sea turtles also control the population of certain plants and animals in reefs, preventing them from overwhelming the area. What would happen is the Loggerhead went extinct? If there were no more Loggerhead turtles (or sea turtles in general), many species of fish and plant that sea turtles would increase in population.

Share Flipboard Email Print Jurgen Freund/Nature Picture Library / Getty Imagesby Laura Klappenbach Updated March 29, 2018Turtle eating habits are varied and what they eat depends on the available food sources, the habitat in which the turtle lives and the turtle's behavior. Most adult land turtles eat a diet that consists of plants. They graze on grass or browse on the leaves of bushes and shrubs that are within their reach. A few species of turtles also eat fruits. Occasionally, some turtles also ingest small insects such as caterpillars that get caught up in the plants they eat, so invertebrates make up a part of a turtle's diet as well. One group of turtles well-known for their herbivorous feeding habits are Galapagos tortoises. Galapagos tortoises feed on leaves and grasses and their diet is so influential that over the course of their evolution their shells have been modified in different ways to reflect their eating habits. Galapagos tortoise subspecies that eat grasses that lie close to the ground have shells that are dome-shaped with the rim of their shell lying snugly above their neck. Galapagos tortoise subspecies that eat leaves that are above the ground on bushes and shrubs have shells that are saddle-backed in shape, with the rim of the shell arched upwards enabling them to crane their neck high in the air as they grasp their food." } ]

Flag Are bronchus and bronchi the same? Answer by Valentin Popov Confidence votes 37.1KI am an integrative healthcare professional, massage therapist, and health sciences educator. The trachea divides into a right and left main bronchus. Each major bronchus then subdivides into smaller airway passages referred to as bronchi. As the airway passages make their way out to the lung tissue, the passages become smaller and are referred to as bronchioles. Eventually the bronchioles terminate into small collections of air sacs known as alveoli, which is where the actual exchange of CO2 and Oxygen occur. The above answer is partly correct, The bronchus and bronchi and the same, bronchus is singular and bronchi is plural. The primary (main) bronchi have a left bronchus and right bronchus, they later eventually branch into the bronchiole (s).1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

These overactive lymphocytes release chemical substances which cause granulomas (a collection of inflammatory cells) in various organs of the body. Although sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder, it affects the lungs 90% of the time, making it primarily a lung disease.2. What does the name \"\"sarcoidosis\"\" mean?

Context Building models is an effective way to encourage new ways of exploring science, art, mathematics, and other subject areas. When kids become designers and builders—i.e., when they go beyond simply memorizing how the a-bone connects to the b-bone—they begin to understand the dynamic manner in which systems operate. In this activity, students will learn about the respiratory system by comparing and contrasting models, building their own models, and giving one another feedback. According to the Benchmarks: “At this level, children can begin to view the body as a system, in which parts do things for other parts and for the organism as a whole. Models help children to see and touch the internal organs and to know where they are located in the body. Questions about familiar body systems can be useful in getting students to start thinking about systems generally. They can then begin to understand that each organ affects and is affected by others.” (" }, { "docid": "D773450#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/can-coughing-damage-your-lungs\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Can Coughing Damage Your Lungs", "text": "Top 30 Doctor insights on: Can Coughing Damage Your Lungs Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Tracy Sinha1 doctor agreed:1 What causes a long term cough besides the lungs?

That’s understandable, since lung cancer kills more than 1.3 million people a year. But when caught early enough, lung cancer can be treatable and, often, curable. According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for lung cancer that hasn’t metastasized, or spread, is slightly more than 50 percent, as compared to nearly 4 percent for lung cancer that’s already spread to other organ systems. So pay close attention to these early — and sometimes surprising — signs of lung cancer, and be assertive about bringing anything suspicious to your doctor’s attention. Depression or other mood changes Researchers have recently noted a surprising connection between first-time diagnosis of depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric symptoms and lung cancer. In a surprising number of cases, cancer patients — particularly those with lung cancer — discover they have a tumor after being referred for psychiatric care. One study that followed more than four million people for ten years, for example, found that when people ages 50 to 64 were referred to a psychiatrist for the first time in their lives, the overall incidence of cancer increased almost fourfold. How it feels: Psychiatric symptoms can take many forms, from the fatigue, lethargy, and low spirits characteristic of depression to racing, panicky thoughts.

Flag How does the diaphragm function in breathing? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. During inhalation the diaphragm muscle contracts and this causes it to (effectively) move downwards, its previously upwardly curving shape becomes a flatter one, and this decreases the pressure in the thorax region (the region in which the lungs reside) because there is more air space. As a consequence, air rushes in from outside the body, via the nose and mouth, and fills the lungs with air. The alveoli in the lungs takes the air and sends it round the blood-stream. Exhaling is, obviously, the opposite: The diaphragm relaxes, moves upwards to it's original, relaxed state, and thus increases the air pressure in the thorax area (because there is now less air space), this forces air that was not removed by the alveoli, and air that has returned to the lungs from the blood-stream, back into the atmosphere via the nose and mouth. Also, in and out of your nose ...air goes in and out The diaphragm provides the main force for breathing. ( other muscles are used during exercise, like the scalenes and the intercostals) When the diaphragm contracts it moves down into the abdomen by doing so it increases the volume of the thoracic cavity which in turn creates a negative pressure (compared to atmospheric) on the lungs (it actually creates a negative pressure in the intraplueral space). This negative pressure creates a pressure differential between the lungs and the atmosphere causing air to come into the lungs." } ]

You could be saved by the scan Take the Quiz Key Points Lung cancer screening can help find lung cancer at an early stage when it is easier to treat. At this time, studies have shown that a low-dose CT scan is the only lung cancer screening tool that reduces the risk of dying from lung cancer. Lung cancer screening is not right for everyone. One reason why lung cancer is so serious is that, by the time you have symptoms, it has likely already spread and has become more difficult to treat. Screening is looking for cancer before you have any symptoms, which can help find cancer at an early stage when it may be easier to treat. Early detection of lung cancer can save lives for those at high risk and in turn, reduce the lung cancer burden in the United States. Lung cancer screening for those at high risk needs to be part of preventive care strategy to catch more lung cancers early and significantly improve the low survival rates. To help determine whether or not a screening test is recommended, scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women and men both in the United States and throughout the world. Lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women for the past 25 years. In the United States, there are more deaths due to lung cancer than the number of deaths from colon and rectal, breast, and prostate cancer combined. If lung cancer is found at an early stage, at least half of such patients will be alive and free of recurrent cancer five years later. Once lung cancer has metastasized, that is, spread to other distant organs, the five-year overall survival is less than 5%. Cancer occurs when normal cells undergo a transformation that causes them to grow abnormally and multiply without control and potentially spread to other parts of the body. The cells form a mass or tumor that differs from the surrounding tissues from which it arises. Cancers are also called malignant tumors." }, { "docid": "D2695270#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/cough-up-lung-tissue\nTop 40 Doctor insights on: Cough Up Lung Tissue", "text": "\"Top 40 Doctor insights on: Cough Up Lung Tissue Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Aaron Milstone1 Does a person in the final stages of emphysema ever cough up lung tissue?

There are two main types of small cell lung cancer. Smoking is the major risk factor for small cell lung cancer. Signs and symptoms of small cell lung cancer include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Tests and procedures that examine the lungs are used to detect (find), diagnose, and stage small cell lung cancer. Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. For most patients with small cell lung cancer, current treatments do not cure the cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung.

Once you or a loved one is diagnosed with lung cancer, it is important for your pulmonologist to engage a full team of specialists to provide you with access to a complete range of the latest treatment options. Of Americans with advanced cancer who do not receive anticancer therapy, more than half have lung cancer. That is why it is critical to seek an integrated medical team that might consist of your primary care physician, pulmonologist, oncologist, radiologist, pathologist, and thoracic surgeon. These medical experts together can successfully determine the best care possible for your specific type of lung cancer.

S. and worldwide. Cigarette smoking is the principal risk factor for development of lung cancer. Passive exposure to tobacco smoke ( passive smoking) also can cause lung cancer. The two types of lung cancer, which grow and spread differently, are small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). The stage of lung cancer refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread in the body. Treatment of lung cancer can involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy as well as newer experimental methods. The general prognosis of lung cancer is poor because doctors tend not to find the disease until it is at an advanced stage. Five-year survival is around 54% for early stage lung cancer that is localized to the lungs, but only around 4% in advanced, inoperable lung cancer. Smoking cessation is the most important measure that can prevent the development of lung cancer.

The idea that smoking causes black lungs is no more than a myth, and the evidence for this is plentiful. Possibly the first thing people say on the subject is that they have seen those pictures of a black smokers’ lung and a pink non-smokers’ lung. While it may be true that the black lung was that of a smoker and the pink lung that of a non-smoker, that is not the end of the story – we now know that cancerous organs turn black. A while ago channel 4 ran some programmes of autopsies done live by Dr Von Hagens, and one episode was on cancer. The woman having the autopsy done was ravaged with cancer, and it was apparent which organs were cancerous by their colour – they were all black. Going back to the pictures of the two lungs, they are always of a smokers’ lung afflicted with cancer, and a non-smokers’ lung without cancer – in other words, the two lungs are not comparable. If a smokers’ lung was compared with a non-smokers’ lung and neither had cancer, they would both look identical, and the same is true for a smoker and non-smokers’ lung with cancer." }, { "docid": "D2478240#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/can-pneumonia-cause-lung-nodules\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Can Pneumonia Cause Lung Nodules", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Can Pneumonia Cause Lung Nodules Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Ira Friedlander3 doctors agreed:1 Is a 3 mm slightly spiculated lung nodule on ct in lower lobe likely cancer? 60 years old- hx of early breast cancer.

In some places, the term “licensed practical nurse” is more commonly used; “state enrolled nurse” is also a synonym, particularly in the United Kingdom. No matter what he or she is called, this person has an important role in the medical community and is a valued part of many healthcare teams. The specifics of these nurses' jobs are usually limited by local law in terms of how extensively they can be involved in direct services, but the work they do is often essential to making sure that each patient gets prompt and efficient care. Basic Job Description and Jurisdictional Limitations It can be difficult to pin down what exactly an LVN does because different places have different rules about what the job can include. Laws tend to vary between countries, states, and provinces about what responsibilities can fall to this medical professional. Greeting patients, getting basic blood pressure and pulse readings, and taking patient temperatures are almost always within the realm of a licensed vocational nurse’s responsibility. In hospitals and large care facilities, these nurses will often be charged with bathing patients and doing hygiene-related tasks, like emptying bedpans and cleaning up vomit and blood spills. Ad Collecting urine and blood samples may also be part of the job, along with giving injections — but much of this depends on local rules. Even though these professionals are licensed, they cannot always do things that involve direct patient care or that cross the line into “medical analysis,” like making assessments about fluid readings or drawing conclusions from medical charts." }, { "docid": "D319185#0", "title": "http://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/what-can-rns-302187.html\nWhat can RN's delegate to LPN/NA's?", "text": "\"Latest Articles Programs Products Conferences Nursing Student › NCLEX Exam & Programs ›What can RN's delegate to LPN/NA's?allnurses Magazine: New Quarterly Publication For Nursesby apexsw20trd Views: 144,431 Comments: 10I am currently studying to take the nclex and I am trying to figure our what exactly RN's can delegate to LPN's and NA's.

Median Annual Salary Although licensed practical and licensed vocational nurse jobs (LPNs/LVNs) don’t pay as much as other nursing roles, the job can be incredibly rewarding and there’s always room to grow with further education. According to The U. S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) current Occupational Outlook Handbook the median expected annual salary for LPNs/LVNs is $44,090. Actual salaries may vary greatly based on specialization within the field, location, years of experience and a variety of other factors. What’s my earning potential? Like other nursing jobs, an LPN/LVN’s salary is often based on where exactly they work. According to the National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses, large city hospitals will usually pay a higher salary than a nursing home.

Serving as one of the body’s main vessels of immunity, the lymphatic's primary function is to create immune cells. The system also helps to shuttle away fluids from tissue in the body, as well as absorb fat and move that fat to the circulatory system. It is easiest to think of the lymphatic system as being, in many ways, analogous to the circulatory system. Both are extensive networks of tubes that go virtually everywhere in the body. But where the circulatory system moves blood around the body, the lymphatic system moves a clear liquid known as lymph throughout the body. Lymph is full of white blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, which are the body’s main tools in the immune response. When plasma is released into tissue to help the body, the lymph vessels are where it ultimately drains, so that they can transport it away from the tissue to the thoracic duct, where it is returned to the circulatory system. Ad At a point along the body within the lymphatic system there are small nodes, known as lymph nodes.

Such invaders include Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi)Parasites (such as worms)Cancer cells Transplanted organs and tissues To defend the body against these invaders, the immune system must be able to distinguish between What belongs in the body (self)What does not (nonself or foreign)Antigens are any substances that are identified as nonself—particularly if they are perceived as dangerous (for example, if they can cause disease)—and that can stimulate an immune response in the body. Antigens may be contained within or on bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, parasites, or cancer cells. Antigens may also exist on their own—for example, as food molecules or pollen. A normal immune response consists of the following: Recognizing a potentially harmful foreign antigen Activating and mobilizing forces to defend against it Attacking it Controlling and ending the attack If the immune system malfunctions and mistakes self for nonself, it may attack the body’s own tissues, causing an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). Disorders of the immune system occur when The body generates an immune response against itself ( an autoimmune disorder ). The body cannot generate appropriate immune responses against invading microorganisms (an immunodeficiency disorder ).

Disruption of the highly ordered tissue architecture in the eye caused by vascular leakage, hemorrhage, and concomitant fibrosis can lead to mechanical disruption of the visual axis and/or biological malfunctioning. An increased understanding of inflammation, wound healing, and angiogenesis has led to the development of drugs effective in modulating these biological processes and, in certain circumstances, the preservation of vision. Unfortunately, such pharmacological interventions often are too little, too late, and progression of vision loss frequently occurs.

All of these functions of the retina depend on the absorption of photons. However, excessive exposure to light results in damage to the retina. The phototransduction cascade is discussed by Oyster in Retina I: Photoreceptors and Functional Organization. Here we will review current understanding of light-induced damage to the retina. As the visual cycle plays an important role in susceptibility of the retina to light damage, certain aspects of it will be discussed here in more detail. Types of Light-Induced Damage to the Retina Throughout life, the eye is exposed to daily fluxes of solar radiation. Solar radiation is filtered by the Earth's atmosphere so that at sea level about 80% of the solar energy is restricted to a narrow spectral band from about 300 nm in the ultraviolet to 1100 nm in the infrared.

Of those cases, the most common cause is Stargardt disease, named for Karl Stargardt, a German ophthalmologist who first reported a case in his practice in 1901. Sometimes called Stargardt’s disease, Stargardt affects both eyes and develops sometime between the ages of six and twenty, when kids notice difficulties in reading or adapting to bright light. The cause and treatments of the disease in young people are different from those of Age-related Macular Degeneration. Stargardt disease is the result of a gene called ABCA4 and is usually a recessive trait. When both parents carry the ABCA4 mutation, there is a 25 percent chance their children will have Stargardt disease. ABCA4 is essentially a piece of genetic coding which tells the body to produce a protein which blocks normal transportation of food and waste to the retina’s photoreceptor cells. Flecks of lipofuscin – waste deposits – build up in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is the nutritional support layer for the rods and cones of the retina. The RPE and the rods and cones break down in the presence of these waste deposits. A rarer disease called autosomal dominant Stargardt-like macular dystrophy, similar to Stargardt, is caused by the gene ELOVL4." }, { "docid": "D784096#0", "title": "https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/age-related-macular-degeneration\nAge-Related Macular Degeneration", "text": "Published April 19, 2010ophthalmologic disorders Age-Related Macular Degeneration Suzanne Albrecht, Pharm D, MSLIS Freelance Medical Writer Woodstock, Illinois US Pharm. 2010;35 (4):26-33.

The central part of the retina is called the macula and is responsible for vision that is needed for reading and other detailed work. Damage to the macula results in poor vision. The most common disease process that affects the macula is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In patients with AMD, retinal cells in the macula die over the course of several years. The cell death and gradual visual loss usually do not begin until age 60 or older and hence the name age-related macular degeneration. It is not known why the cells die, but two clues suggest that genetic defects called mutations may be involved. One clue is that AMD runs in families and another clue is that AMD shares some features with other retinal degenerations known to occur from mutations. AMD: Dry Type Patients who are affected have gradual loss of central vision due to the death of photoreceptor cells and their close associates; retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells.

OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique relying on low coherence interferometry to generate in vivo, cross-sectional imagery of ocular tissues. Originally developed in 1991 as a tool for imaging the retina, OCT technology has continually evolved and expanded within ophthalmology as well as other medical specialties. Specialized anterior segment OCT machines became available in 2005 and the introduction of Spectral (Fourier) Domain OCT (SD-OCT, FD-OCT) technology now provides greater tissue resolving power, significantly higher scan density, and faster data acquisition than original Time Domain OCT. Clinical Uses Cross-sectional visualization is an extremely powerful tool in the identification and assessment of retina abnormalities. The high resolving power (10um - Time Domain, 5um – Spectral Domain) provides excellent detail for evaluating the vitreo-retinal interface, neurosensory retinal morphology, and the RPE-choroid complex. The ability to perform volumetric and retinal thickness analysis also provides a quantitative and repeatable method to evaluate surgical and pharmacological interventions. Individual high resolution line scans are a simple way to identify overt as well as very subtle retinal interface pathologies, such as a persistently adherent posterior hyaloid, fine epiretinal membranes, and vitreomacular traction. In a procedure that is easily tolerated by most patients, well-placed line scans can differentiate between pseudo holes, lamellar holes and full thickness macular holes with a high degree of confidence. Line scans can also confirm the presence of retinal edema from various causes." }, { "docid": "D119165#0", "title": "http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=1044\nReference Guide to Exercise Intensity", "text": "By Jen Mueller and Nicole Nichols, Fitness Experts 3/3/2008One of the most common mistakes new exercisers make is not measuring the intensity of their cardio workouts. Guidelines say that aerobic exercise should be “moderate” or “challenging,” but what does that feel like? You might make the mistake of working too hard (which can lead to injury and burnout), or not working hard enough (which can lead to frustration from a lack of results). When following an aerobic exercise program, there are three main ways to measure your exercise intensity: Target Heart Rate (THR), Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and The Talk Test. This guide will examine each of these three measures in detail so you can choose which works best for you. Target Heart Rate Target Heart Rate (THR) is the most commonly used method for measuring exercise intensity—mostly because it’s easy to do and it’s also precise. Your THR is actually a zone or range that your heart rate should fall within to ensure that you are training aerobically. Training below your target zone may not be intense enough to burn sufficient calories or improve your cardiovascular fitness; while training above your zone means you’re workingan aerobically (without oxygen) and inefficiently, which is also too intense for many people, especially beginners. A Target Heart Rate range is listed in percentages, typically between about 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. But how hard you should work depends on your fitness level." }, { "docid": "D921844#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_pigment_epithelium\nRetinal pigment epithelium", "text": "\"Retinal pigment epithelium From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Retinal pigment epithelium Section of retina.

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.

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.

Open Document The Effect of Increasing Number of Turns in a Coil on an Electromagnet It Is Capable of Holding Introduction In this investigation I aim to find out what effect increasing the number of turns in a coil on an electromagnet will have on the strength of the electromagnet, and the weight it is capable of holding. I predict that the higher the number of turns there is on the core the higher the amount of weight the magnet will hold. Also I predict that, if I double the amount of turns in the coil on the core, the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet will also double, I will find out if this is true from the weight it is capable of holding. E.g.) 20 turns will hold 50 grams 40 turns I predict will therefore hold 100 grams Above is a predicted example of what I think might happen when I increase the numbers of turns in a coil on an electromagnet. I do not know that twenty turns will hold fifty grams, as this is just an estimated amount. Theory ------ In a piece of iron there are millions of tiny ‘atomic magnets’, they are called this because in each atomic magnet there is a North and a South Pole. In the piece of iron these tiny atomic magnets line up with each other in small groups, when they do this they become domains. In a piece of iron, that is unmagnetised, the domains will all point in different directions, see diagram 1 below, the domains are shown by small arrows, the arrowhead indicates the North Pole. As all the domains are pointing in different directions there will be no true north seeking or south-seeking pole in the piece of iron as the domains will cancel each other out, therefore the piece of iron will remain unmagnetised.

You would be better off trying to sell these items as a serving tray and goblets. Silver plating techniques have become very advanced so that the plating manufactures use the smallest amount of silver possible to get the desired silver sheen. Many times the silver plating is so thin that it can be scratched off by hard objects such as a coin or paperclip. If you have a silver item that you don’t know is plated or silver, we recommend running a strong magnetic over the items. Precious metal is NOT magnetic, so if the magnetic sticks then your items do not have value based on their precious metal content.

Full Answer No matter what type of magnet, the opposite poles always attract while similar poles always repel. Each magnet sends out a magnetic field, which is positive on one pole and negative on the other. This magnetic field is the result of the movement of negatively charged electrons within the magnet. These fields are strongest directly at the pole, which is why the ends of magnets will so powerfully repel or attract each other." }, { "docid": "D1065999#0", "title": "http://www.ctmagnetschools.org/frequently-asked-questions.html\nFrequently Asked Questions", "text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions Why do we need to increase funding to magnet schools? Magnet schools have not received an increase in state funding since 2010. Each year, the cost of living increases and so do the costs of running schools. Many costs increase naturally each year. These include heating, building maintenance, teachers' salaries and benefits, athletic facilities and uniforms, support services, supplies, books, technology and more. If magnet schools do not receive an increase in funding, they will be forced to cut programs, charge for programs that are currently free of charge, or increase tuition to local school districts. How are magnet schools funded? Connecticut's system for funding magnet schools is very complex, and reimbursement differs depending on a variety of factors including the organization running the school and where the school is located. Because many magnet schools are not run by a traditional district, they do not receive money throught the traditional means of state funding, called the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant. The state reimburses magnet schools per pupil, but if the school is not run by a traditional district, the operator of a magnet school may charge the district where a student resides a minimal tuition to make up the difference between the state reimbursement and the cost of educating a student." }, { "docid": "D3536873#0", "title": "http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=2744\nQ & A: heating magnet", "text": "\"Most recent answer: 08/10/2016Q: What happens if you heat a magnet? - anon england A: As you heat a magnet you supply it with more thermal energy, so the individual electron spins (like tiny magnets themselves) become more likely to be in high-energy states, pointing oppositely to their neighbors. That means that they're less lined up so the total magnetism is reduced. At some point, in between the weakening of the overall magnetism and the availability of extra thermal energy, it becomes easy for domain walls- the boundaries between regions that are lined up pointing different directions- to slide around. Then the domains will rearrange so that they reduce the large-scale field energy by pointing different directions. That means that your permanent magnet is no longer overall magnetized. As you heat further, individual spins within domains become more likely to point opposite to their neighbors, and that reduces the average alignment seen by their neighbors too, reducing the effect which favors their having lined up in the first place. At a well-defined temperature, called the Curie temperature, the whole tendency to align into domains collapses, and the material ceases to be a ferromagnet at all. Cooling the material will cause magnetic domains to form again at the Curie temperature, but unless an external field is applied as the material cools, the domains will point all different directions, so you won't have a net magnetized permanent magnet.

Heat a magnet even more and it'll go through another phase transition from order to disorder -- it will melt, and heat it more, it will vaporize." }, { "docid": "D3380833#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/42100750/chapter-21-flash-cards/\nChapter 21", "text": "\"44 terms Whovian1115Chapter 21science Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

People want to know how to measure EMF. So much so, that they purchase detectors and meters for themselves and attempt to study their own property and homes. It is great to take responsibility for your own concerns! However, there are likely many things that could be confusing your personal assessment. Electro Magnetic EMF Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is organized by frequency. Generally lower frequency radiation is on the left, and higher frequency radiation is on the right. See above graphic. The properties of electromagnetism change at different frequencies, and electric and magnetic fields behave differently along the spectrum. A material that is transparent to visible light can be opaque to infrared light, but then again transparent to radio frequency radiation (e.g., glass)." }, { "docid": "D1589368#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/How-is-a-magnetic-field-generated-when-a-current-flows-through-a-conductor\nHow is a magnetic field generated when a current flows through a conductor?", "text": "Conductors (electrical) Magnets Magnetism Magnetic Fields Voltage Electromagnetism Physics of Everyday Life Electricity Electrical Engineering How is a magnetic field generated when a current flows through a conductor?ad by Pager Duty Full-stack visibility.

The real answer to “why” magnetic field is produced when current flows in a conductor is only known by mother nature. However, scientist such as Faraday and Maxwell discover the relationship between magnetic field and electric field which allows us to predict the behavior of the one in relation to the other if one is altered. According to Faraday’s LAW, any “CHANGE” in magnetic field will create emf in a conductor that is placed in the magnetic field. In other words electrical current is created in conductor (wire) if it is placed in the changing magnetic field. It also states that any “CHANGE” in flow of electric current in a conductor (wire) will create magnetic field around that conductor. We use this law to design many things such as electric motors, electric generators, audio microphones, audio speakers, audio and video cassette heads , many sensor devices, and AC Power transmission lines, etc - this list goes one. Maxwell came out with an equation which show the relationship between electric and magnetic field in electro-magnetic waves ." }, { "docid": "D2731355#0", "title": "http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/leveson/core/linksa/magnetic.html\nMAGNETIC DECLINATION", "text": "\"MAGNETIC DECLINATION\"\"A compass, Lou, has a magnetic needle which, when the compass is held level, floats freely over the center of the compass rose.

There are several forms of energy - and these can transform from one type to another, like potential (stored) energy in a battery, kinetic energy of objects in motion, and so on. Charged particles—such as electrons and protons—create electromagnetic fields when they move, transporting energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The radiation is classified according to the frequency of the wave, that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays. Image courtesy of : Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency Range Energy can be transported by mechanical waves also - such as waves in water, and sound in air. Mechanical waves are caused by a vibration in a substance, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma. The substance that waves are traveling through is the medium. Water waves are formed by vibrations in a liquid medium and sound waves are formed by vibrations in a gas medium (air). These mechanical waves propagate in the medium by juggling the molecules, causing them to bump into each other, transferring energy from one to the next. Mechanical waves cannot propagate in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to propagate these mechanical waves." } ]

Rumors in Ohio at the time described Michiganians as being as vicious and bloodthirsty as wolverines. This dispute became known as the Toledo War. Another reason given for the nickname is a story that has Native Americans, during the 1830s, comparing Michigan settlers to wolverines. Some native people, according to this story, disliked the way settlers were taking the land because it made them think of how the gluttonous wolverine went after its food. Another nickname for Michigan is the “Great Lake State.” Michigan's shores touch four of the five Great Lakes, and Michigan has more than 11,000 inland lakes.

Sansing Emblems, banners, standards, and flags are an ancient tradition that date from the early Roman Empire. Flags are powerful symbols that signify dominion and sovereignty and express personal and political allegiance to a state or nation. Mississippi did not officially adopt a state flag until 1861, when it seceded from the United States and joined the Confederate States of America. Prior to that time, several flags had flown over the territory that would become the state of Mississippi on December 10, 1817. 1Although native Americans who inhabited Mississippi long before the period of European settlement used many symbols and emblems, typically made of metal and carried on poles or spears, the Spanish colors were the first to fly over Mississippi. ( figure 1)European flags Hernando De Soto’s 600-member expedition into Mississippi in the winter of 1540 carried an emblem quartered in red and white depicting the golden castles of Castile and the red lions of Leon, the two dominant provinces of Spain. Christopher Columbus displayed this same standard from the mastheads of his tiny flotilla when he discovered the new world in 1492. 2After De Soto’s expedition, Spain did not attempt to colonize the lower Mississippi Valley, though it did establish settlements in what is now Florida. In 1629, King Charles I of England granted Sir Robert Heath, an English nobleman, all the land “From Virginia to Florida and westward to the Great Ocean.” Because Heath made no serious attempt to colonize this region, in 1663 King Charles II reissued this land grant to a small group of English noblemen who established Carolina." }, { "docid": "D1591612#0", "title": "http://tree-pictures.com/black_tupelo_tree_pictures.html\nBlack Tupelo (Black Gum) Tree", "text": "\"Black Tupelo (Black Gum) Tree Black Gum Tree Gallery contains many pictures of Black Gum Tree Black Gum Full size each Black Tupelo tree picture just click on the image to make the tree photo enlarge.

The ink on paper magazine debuted in October 2016 as a newsstand-only title with an initial run of 400,000 copies and a cover price of $7.99. Within one week, it had sold out certain places across the United States, and was going back to press. Not hard to see, when you have the right print product, consumers are as anxious to embrace ink on paper as they ever were. It’s as I’ve always said, publishers don’t have a print problem, they have a content problem. There is nothing wrong with the delivery of ink on paper, but instead, it’s what is being put on that paper. But with The Magnolia Journal, there are definitely no problems with the content inside the very auspicious magazine, nor the Magnolia brand that Chip and Joanna Gaines brought to Meredith.

Mrs. Carthan replanted trees in Bedford-Stuyvesant, helped found the Bedford-Stuyvesant Neighborhood Tree Corps in 1971 as a way to teach young people how to care for trees, and became the chairwoman of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Beautification Committee–an effort that added over 1,500 trees to the neighborhood, and led the charge to preserve a particular Southern magnolia tree that became a symbol of the neighborhood. The magnolia species that Carthan helped preserve is rarely seen in the northeast. The particular tree in front of 677 Lafayette Avenue is believed to have been brought on a ship from North Carolina in 1885. Carthan not only succeeded in having a wall built to protect the tree but also spearheaded the successful attempt to designate it an official city landmark in 1970, making it one of only two trees in the city to be designated as such (and after the 1998 death of the Weeping beech in Queens, the only tree still standing). Carthan continued her campaign by convincing the City to convert three nearby abandoned homes into the Magnolia Tree Earth Center. The brownstones on Lafayette and Marcy avenues behind Hattie Carthan Garden date to the 1880s and now feature a mural depicting Mrs. Carthan. Hattie Carthan Community Garden was established in 1981 as the Lafayette-Marcy Garden in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn." }, { "docid": "D308929#0", "title": "https://www.thespruce.com/pictures-of-white-flowers-4061782\nPictures of White Flowers", "text": "\"Landscaping Ideas Pictures of White Flowers By David Beaulieu Updated 02/07/18Share Pin Email01of 18White Flowers, \"\"Oak\"\" Leaves Oakleaf Hydrangeas Flowers bloom in early summer.

Announcing this on Monday (Feb 19) at the reading of the Budget statement, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said the levy rate for the first FDW employed without levy concession will be raised from the current S$265 to S$300. For the second FDW employed without levy concession, the rate will be increased to S$450. The concessionary levy rate of S$60 per month remains unchanged. The FDW levy is a pricing mechanism aimed at regulating the number of such workers in Singapore. Mr Heng told the house on Monday that in the last decade, the number of FDWs in Singapore has gone up by 40 per cent, to 240,000 last year. “ We must ensure that FDW demand is commensurate with need, and avoid an over-dependency on FDWs,” the minister added.

For those who are considering Filipino maids, here's something for you to ponder. From my experience, Filipinos maids are smarter but sometimes they are too smart to be bossed around. Most of them knows how to read and write. Like the one I recently hired, she has a thick story book in her room which she reads before bed time. And she also knows her rights, i.e. telling off the construction workers at my condo building because it was past 6 p.m and the renovation works were still going on. In addition, our immigration requires Filipino maids to have a valid visa before coming over to Malaysia for work. Many of them came in through social visit pass, then they will keep on extending the social visit pass to a maximum of 3 times (with one month for each extension) until they find an employer here who is willing to pay for their work permit. That's when employer risks getting agents who are not so honest.

Pros include reliability and free time. Cost is often considered the biggest con, and you may also be dissatisfied with the level of cleaning provided. Having a professional maid service in your home can allow you to enjoy a clean living environment without having to do any of the work. You may think this type of service is too expensive for your income, but you might be surprised by the low prices that some companies charge. Many people choose to hire someone to clean their homes because they never have time to do the household chores themselves. If you have children who keep you busy with sports, school events, and other activities, you may find yourself struggling to fit simple cleaning jobs into your schedule. This may also be the case if you work two jobs or long hours at one job. Even if you simply have a very active social life and you like to go out to concerts and other events regularly, you might be too busy to clean. As you can see, there are many different reasons why you might consider hiring a maid service." }, { "docid": "D2948104#0", "title": "https://bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com/questions-and-answers/2480-how-much-does-it-cost-for-a-housekeeper-or-maid-in-belize\nHow much does it cost for a housekeeper or maid in Belize?", "text": "\"To navigate, use menu bar to the left How much does it cost for a housekeeper or maid in Belize?

They dine on plankton, small fish, and small shrimp. The types of fish they have access to depends on where they reside. These aquatic creatures are very migrational so they may move around to look for food and for warm water on a regular basis. If food supplies are short, they will swim very long distances to find what they are looking for. They aren’t territorial and they don’t follow the same migrational route every year. Instead, they seem to have an instinct that helps them to locate food that is in conditions that are right for them. While they can feed any time of the day or the night, the majority of the feeding takes place at night. This is because the plankton are easier to get at that time. Once the sun goes down, they start to rise to the top of the surface of the water." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2339169#0", "title": "http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/150327-fish-stingrays-skates-sharks-science-animals-giant/\nBeyond the Car-Size Stingray: Five Cool Facts About Rays and Skates", "text": "\"Weird Animal Question of the Week Beyond the Car-Size Stingray: Five Cool Facts About Rays and Skates Some stingrays are electric, while others have see-through noses and concrete-like teeth.

First off, the recently caught giant freshwater stingray, a species called Himantura polylepis or H. chaophraya, belongs to the Dasyatidae family, which is known for its venomous spines. The number of spines varies by species, but stingrays in this family typically have one, and it grows along with the fish.

According to Captain Steve Myklebust, Lefty was about 8 feet wide when he first saw her.2. What are the Manta Rays natural predators? Mainly large sharks, but in Hawaii the Manta Rays have adapted to the habitat by staying within 3 miles of the shoreline thereby, to some extent, limiting their exposure to predators (like deep water sharks e.g. Tiger Sharks, Hammerheads). Their unmatched maneuverability and speed makes them hard to prey on.

Previous rays were much smaller than the modern day manta. The flattened shape of the ray however has stayed the same. The flat, disk shape body was an advantage for previous rays when searching for food, on the sea bed, as they could swim flat against the bottom. It also allowed them to hide in sediment on the sea bed when hiding from predators. But as the ray evolved and moved to the open ocean they were able to grow too much greater widths, feeding on plankton and other small organisms. Another adaptation difference between rays of today and before is that the mouth was situated on the bottom of the ray’s body, instead of the front. This meant the ray could feed off the seabed while swimming, using it’s jaw and teeth to crush the shells of molluscs and crustaceans. This is why the mouth moved underside of the body, to the front. The shape of the ray’s mouth also changed, becoming much wider creating a large opening, to maximize the amount of food filtered through the gills when the manta is swimming." }, { "docid": "D725485#0", "title": "http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2012/09/junkyard-find-1969-opel-gt/\nJunkyard Find: 1969 Opel GT", "text": "\"Junkyard Find: 1969 Opel GTBy Murilee Martin on September 16, 2012Tweet Strangely, the Opel GT is one of the more common 1960s German Junkyard Finds.

This is not correct, since the word “manta ray” only applies to 2 members of the genus Manta: giant manta ray ( Manta birostris) and reef manta ( Manta alfredi ). How can you differentiate mantra rays from their closest relatives? There are a number of specific characteristics which, though less obvious than size, are useful to recognize a manta ray. In general, every member of the genus Manta has a large and flattened body whose center is called “disco”. The reef manta ray disc has a width of 3 to 3.5 meters, while the giant manta ray lives up to its name measuring up to 9 meters wide. The head of both species is wide, eyes on each side and the long nose in front. Within it are several rows of small, square teeth that are not useful to chew food, but is used by the males to hold the female during mating.

Cancun’s reef sites are home to hundreds of different species of sea life, here’s a quick guide to identify the common critters. Sea Turtles are very common in Cancun and the island of Isla Mujeres. The three main species of turtles found in and around the area are Green Turtles, Hawksbill and Loggerheads. These are endangered species and are protected by the Government, private bodies and volunteers. The turtles come up onto Cancun’s beaches during nesting season which is from May to September. It’s very important to leave the nests alone if you come across them. The green turtle can grow up to 1.5 mts (5ft) long; when you snorkel in Cancun it’s very common to see these graceful creatures swim past you.

Though they reach the size of a school bus, whale sharks eat tiny plankton and fish eggs, which they filter feed as they swim slowly along with their giant mouths wide open. They are one of only three species of filter feeding sharks. Their incredible size may help them to survive long migrations to abundant food sources, between which they may not be able to find enough food. Scientists believe that some individuals swim across entire oceans to arrive just in time for a plankton bloom or a mass spawning of fish or coral eggs – an amazing feat for a fish. As opposed to the other large sharks, which give birth to a small number of very large babies, whale sharks give birth to hundreds of very small babies (approximately 20 inches/45 cm). Even more interesting, after internal fertilization, the female whale shark actually produces hard, reinforced egg cases but then keeps them safely inside her abdomen until they hatch, at which point she gives live birth. The energy required to produce the unnecessary egg cases could perhaps be better utilized to produce more young, though it is possible that under some circumstances, the female deposits her eggs to hatch on their own. Whale sharks are also unique in that they are covered with white spots, and every individual apparently has its own spot pattern. In fact, whale shark researchers utilize specialized computer software, originally designed for star mapping, to identify individual whale sharks from photos of their spot patterns." }, { "docid": "D896044#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081014130804AA4jPQ0\nWhat do Killer Whales Eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology What do Killer Whales Eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

A praying mantis eats living insects that it captures in its spined front legs. They eat all forms of insects, but will also eat lizards, snakes and even small birds and rodents if they can. DIET: The praying mantis is a carnivorous insect that takes up a deceptively humble posture when it is searching for food. When at rest, the mantis' front forelegs are held up together in a posture that looks like its praying. These front legs are equipped with rows of sharp spines used to grasp its prey. They wait unmoving and are almost invisible on a leaf or a stem, ready to catch any insect that passes. When potential prey comes close enough, the mantis thrusts its pincher-like forelegs forward to catch it." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2369375#0", "title": "http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/01/6/l_016_05.html\nMantis Mating", "text": "\"Mantis Mating Female praying mantids are known for eating their mates, but what is the evolutionary advantage to this practice?

Still, sexual cannibalism is common enough among mantids and other creatures (including some spiders, scorpions, crickets, grasshoppers, and beetles) that evolutionary theorists are forced to account for it. After all, it's hard to see what evolutionary advantage this ultimate sacrifice would offer -- especially for the dined-upon males. One could argue that the reproductive act and the eating of the male might have nothing to do with each other. Some biologists say it's simply hunger: The females, which are much larger, may be unable to resist a male meal that's so tempting and so vulnerable." }, { "docid": "D1521652#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/eats-crickets-e62f42f5e151a35\nWhat Eats Crickets?", "text": "Pets & Animals Bugs Q: What Eats Crickets?

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.

For anyone who wants to keep preying mantids as pets they make an ideal way to start. The reason is that preying mantis don’t tend to live too long so buying an adult means you may only have your pet for a few months, maybe less. On the other end of the scale, baby mantids can be quite fragile and difficult to raise unless you have some experience. The egg case, or ootheca, though is the best way to start. They are easy to care for. They should yield 100+ babies when they hatch and so even if you lose half of them before they become adults you will still have a good number of mantids. And because you have them from babies, you will have your pets for the longest time possible. OK, so with that said, assuming you have managed to get hold of an ootheca, what on earth do you do next?

Unlike cats, you can't really pet them; however, you also don't have to clean any litter boxes! Cleaning a praying mantis's cage is easy and almost completely odorless, as long as you do it regularly. Although aloof by nature, praying mantises can also become tame enough over time to be handled. Although they are capable of moving with astonishing speed (and flying), their natural instinct is to lie in wait for prey, so I've been known to curl up with a mantis on my shirt and a book in my lap.

Lepp/Getty Imagesby Debbie Hadley Updated March 12, 2018The female praying mantis is often painted as an evil seductress, a cannibalistic lover that lures males closer, only to eat them after mating. Is her reputation deserved? Does praying mantis sex always end in cannibalism of the male? Female Mantis Shaming or Truth? Rumors of the praying mantis' cannibalistic tendencies began when scientists observed their mating behavior in a laboratory environment. Entomologists would offer a captive female a potential mate and would quite often be horrified to watch the female bite the head or legs off the smaller male—sometimes even before mating. After the male had served his copulatory purpose, he was nothing more than a good meal for the female and her upcoming offspring. For a long time, these observations of praying mantis sex in the lab were thought to be the way things were in the mantid world .

For breeding you need one or more female and male pairs that mature at roughly the same time. Then you need to make sure the female does not cannibalize the male before mating takes place. When fertilized eggs are laid in an egg-sack called an ootheca, you need to take care of the eggs to ensure that healthy nymphs hatch.

The culture of New Zealand is essentially a Western culture influenced by the unique environment and geographic isolation of the islands, and the cultural input of the indigenous Māori and the various waves of multi-ethnic migration which followed the British colonisation of New Zealand. Polynesian explorers reached the islands between 1250 and 1300 CE. Over the ensuing centuries of Polynesian expansion and settlement, Māori culture developed from its Polynesian roots. Māori established separate tribes, built fortified villages ( Pā ), hunted and fished, traded commodities, developed agriculture, arts and weaponry, and kept a detailed oral history. Regular European contact began from 1800, and British immigration proceeded rapidly, especially from 1855.

It seems that the party had planned to descend to Lake Rotoaira to procure fish when one said, 'Why go fishing - there is food for the taking,' and he pointed to the smoke rising from the Ngati te Aho village. Te Heuheu Herea, who was himself related to Ngati Maniapoto, softened the refusal by advising Te Rauparaha to follow the forest track over Ponanga Saddle to seek refuge with Te Wharerangi at Motu 0 Puhi. However, when he arrived there, Te Rauparaha found that Te Wharerangi, although hostile to him, felt obliged to extend some protection to his unwelcome guest against the taua (war party) led by Tauteka and already in hot pursuit. Accordingly, he told Te Rauparaha to seek refuge in an empty kumara pit nearby empty kumara pit nearby and then asked his wife, Te Rangikoaea, to seat herself over the entrance to the pit.

GOThe indigenous people of New Zealand Feb 23, 2008 12:56 GMT · By Stefan Anitei · Share: The indigenous people of New Zealand are the Maori, belonging to the Polynesian group. Between 800 and 1,350 AD, a wave of Polynesians coming from Tonga and Samoa on their canoes settled in New Zealand. The Maori tradition says that a Polynesian chief of the island of Hawaiki, called Ngahua, knowing the abundance of jade in New Zealand, a shiny tough green stone used for making carvings, collars and adornments, headed an expedition made of 8 canoes. Each canoe was 30 m (100 ft) long, harboring over 100 persons. This contingent settled in Te-Ika-a Maui, the Maori name of the northern island of New Zealand, where they made a population nucleus to which new colonizers were soon added. Maori simply means \"\"human\"\" in the Maori language. Maori had large villages comprising wooden houses and formed numerous tribes headed by an old chief. Houses were made of large tree trunks, used as posts and beams. Houses were decorated with carved reliefs, often painted in vivid colors." }, { "docid": "D2430827#0", "title": "https://www.lonelyplanet.com/new-zealand\nNew Zealand activities", "text": "\"New Zealand activities$96.42 Cultural & Theme Tours Rotorua Maori Hangi Dinner and Performance Your journey through time unfolds when your coach travels to a pre-European village set deep within the forest, 15 minutes from Rotorua.

Ruru are one of New Zealand's three remaining birds of prey and one of the few native bird species that have adapted to human colonisation. In particular, ruru have done well out of the smorgasbord of introduced rodents. Owls are amazing birds, due to their adaptations as night-hunters. They have soft fringes on the ends of their feathers which makes them the original stealth jets, flying silently through the forest. They also have forward-facing eyes, giving them binocular vision - perfect for swooping on prey. The big yellow eyes of the ruru were probably an inspiration to Maori carvers, and the style of carvings in meeting houses with wide open eyes are thought to be motivated by them. So too are the wide open eyes given during a pukana in Maori haka and performances.

In most languages the vowel signs are fewer than the vowel sounds, and therefore some of the signs are of uncertain value. In our own language the pronunciation has undergone many changes since the period in which the spelling acquired a comparative fixity, and thus the uncertainty of the signs has become more perplexing. The same word is pronounced differently in different counties; families have traditions of their own; individual persons have their peculiarities with respect to fineness of ear, to precision in utterance, and to the influence of written forms upon their habits of speech. One consequence of all this is that, if a writer tries to indicate the quality of a sound by saying that it is the sound of a certain letter or syllable in an English word, he knows that different readers will receive different impressions from what he has written. It is not enough to say that the scholars by whom Maori speech was first reduced systematically to writing adopted the Italian vowel system. It is nob certain that they did their work quite consistently; and it is nearly certain that some readers will not know what the Italian system is.

The Haka was originally a combination of dance and chanting that was performed by Maori warriors before the went to battle. Nowadays the Haka is mainly performed for amusement or ceremoniously: a welcome for important guests or to commemorate an important day or event. The All Black's (New Zealands rugby team) perform it to scare opposition when they are about to start their match.

The haka is a Maori war cry. It is fierce and involves much chanting, stamping of hands and feet and some pretty scary looking faces doing the pukana (that wild eye thing they do! ) But while most people equate the haka with the start of a New Zealand rugby All Blacks match to try and scare the opposition, the haka is also done on occasions to honour great people. One of the most moving things you’ll see is a haka done at a funeral or when someone has achieved something great. See this clip of Palmerston North Boys High School doing a haka in front of the hearse carrying a favourite teacher who passed away suddenly. The All Blacks have two hakas: The iconic Ka mate haka was written by Te Rauparaha as a war cry in 1820 ( click here for my blog on that translation) and which every kiwi on their OE has ripped their top off to perform in many a London pub. But in 2005 a new haka was written (which I’ve not yet seen performed in a pub). Kapa o pango was first performed by the All Blacks against South Africa in 2005 at Carisbrook, Dunedin.

It's believed that the maple leaf became a Canadian symbol as early as the 1700's. Indians have been using the sap of the trees for food long before Canada saw ships on its horizon. Several groups used the Maple Leaf as a symbol in the 1800's, including its use on the badge of the 100th Regiment. The same year (1860) it was used as a decorative theme for the Prince of Wales visit. Alexander Muir wrote \"\"The Maple Leaf Forever\"\" in 1867 as a song for Confederation.

The word bonsai is derived from the Japanese words bon, meaning tray, and sai, meaning tree, with a literal meaning of planting miniature trees inside a tray. Although originally started in Japan, there are similar traditions that are practiced in other cultures, such as the art of Penjing in China and hon-non-bo in Vietnam. These living, miniature natural masterpieces increase greatly in aesthetic appeal and financial value as the tree matures over time. There are a variety of different styles of bonsai trees, as well as many different species of tree that can be used to create a Bonsai. Styles of Bonsai include informal upright, formal upright, cascade, literati, semi-cascade and raft bonsais, all of which can range greatly in size from miniature, small, medium and large. Both flowered and fruit trees can be used. Trunk And Bark Surface The type of trunk and bark on the bonsai play an important role in its style.

As early as 1700, the maple leaf began to serve as a symbol celebrating Canada's nature and environment. The maple leaf on the flag is a sugar maple leaf. Sugar maples are native to Canada and have brilliant fall foliage. The number of points on the leaf has no significance; they do not, for instance, represent the ten provinces plus the federal government. In fact, some of the very first Canadian flags made had maple leaves of 15 points: the lower single points were tripled like the top three. By a figure-ground reversal of the white square and the maple leaf, the two upper corners of the square can be seen as silhouettes of two angry faces arguing. This has often been considered evocative of the nature of Canadian federalism, but was wholly unintentional. In Canadian Culture, various patriotic comic book Canadian superheroes use the Maple Leaf Flag as the basis for their costumes, much as Captain America's costume is based on the Stars and Stripes flag. Hence, these characters' costumes are typically red and white with a red maple leaf as their symbol." }, { "docid": "D1323405#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_sirup\nMaple syrup", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Maple sirup)navigation search Maple syrup Bottled maple syrup (unlabeled)Place of origin Canada United States Main ingredients Xylem sap (usually from sugar maple, red maple, or black maple)Cookbook: Maple syrup Media: Maple syrup Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple species. In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in late winter and early spring. Maple trees are tapped by drilling holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap, which is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. Maple syrup was first collected and used by the indigenous peoples of North America, and the practice was adopted by European settlers, who gradually refined production methods. Technological improvements in the 1970s further refined syrup processing. The Canadian province of Quebec is by far the largest producer, responsible for 70 percent of the world's output; Canadian exports of maple syrup in 2016 were C$ 487 million (about US$ 360 million), with Quebec accounting for some 90 percent of this total. [ 1] [2] Vermont is the largest producer in the United States, generating about six percent of the global supply. Maple syrup is graded according to the Canada, United States, or Vermont scales based on its density and translucency. Sucrose is the most prevalent sugar in maple syrup. In Canada, syrups must be made exclusively from maple sap to qualify as maple syrup and must also be at least 66 percent sugar.

Throughout every ceremony there is a respect for each living thing and thanks is given out of respect for all that has been received. In giving thanks the Haudenosaunee follow a cycle of ceremony holding rituals which follow the seasons. Spirituality is a central part of the lives of the Haudenosaunee people but parallel to this is a respect for other religions. Unlike many religions which promote the recruitment of new followers, the Haudenosaunee have never tried to force their beliefs on anyone and allow for their own people to follow their own beliefs without criticism. The Great Law of Peace itself has built into it freedom of religion which is respected by all its followers. An essential value which forms the foundation for much of the Haudenosaunee ways is the duty of preparing for the seventh generation. The nations of the Haudenosaunee believe that we borrow the earth from our children’s children and it is our duty to protect it and the culture for future generations." }, { "docid": "D1644332#0", "title": "https://holidappy.com/gift-ideas/birth-symbols\nBirth Month Signs, Symbols, and Gift Ideas", "text": "\"Holidappy » Gift Ideas Birth Month Signs, Symbols, and Gift Ideas Updated on September 2, 2016monarch13 more Contact Author The year, month, and day of a person's birth is thought by many to play a significant role in shaping that individual's character and future.

Of course, the size and age of your tree, and the type you have determines how you should prune them. When Japanese maples are small, it is absolutely essential that they be pruned for shape and character. There is also some training involved to make sure they develop into the most beautiful specimens imaginable. All of my Japanese maples get pruned and trained at least twice a year.

By Brenda Priddy; Updated April 12, 2017Artillery shells generally come with a lot of different markings on them. These markings have several different purposes, but the main purpose for the labels is safety. The markings identify data that is crucial to both the government and the person using the artillery shell. A casual observer, or ammunition collector, might enjoy knowing a little bit about the markings and what they mean as well. Purpose Artillery shells are marked for several different reasons. The main reason is for safety. When shells are marked, it is easy to tell what kind of shell they are, what damage they will do, what lot number they came from and who manufactured the shell. This helps the government keep track of where shells are sold, and it makes it easier to recall entire batches if an error is found. The markings also help the users of the shells know what to expect from the artillery shell." } ]	[ { "docid": "D916070#0", "title": "http://www.boomershoot.org/general/gundict.htm\nGun Dictionary", "text": "\"Gun Dictionary ActionBreech mechanism by which the gun is loaded, fired, and unloaded.

( Photo: Speer)The Federal Bureau of Investigation is returning to the ammunition caliber it labeled ineffective and blamed for the deaths of two of its agents during a 1986 shootout in Miami — the 9mm jacketed hollow-point luger. In addition to the new bullet, the FBI has decided to purchase a new pistol to fire it, something that could be in the hands of the FBI’s approximately 13,000 agents by 2016, according to bureau officials. The FBI has not identified the pistol. The decision could also have far-ranging implications for local law enforcement agencies because they often model their procurement decisions on those made by the FBI, the Washington Post reports. The bureau dumped the 9mm bullet after the Miami incident because it failed to penetrate far enough into the gunman’s torso. In response, the FBI fielded a new pistol round, one they hoped would have better penetration: the 10mm. In the following years, the 10mm was ditched in favor of the .40 S&W, a stubbier round that could fit into pistols designed for small calibers. According to FBI Special Agent Ray Cook, the current unit chief of the FBI’s Defensive Systems Unit, the bureau, which continuously tests various types of ammunition, began considering a return to the 9mm round in 2007 in part because of advances in ballistic technology. The new 9mm round —the 147-grain Speer Gold Dot G2 — is significantly more effective than what FBI agents carried into the field in 1986." }, { "docid": "D2626811#0", "title": "http://www.factcheck.org/2008/09/nra-targets-obama/\nNRA Targets Obama", "text": "\"Summary A National Rifle Association advertising campaign distorts Obama's position on gun control beyond recognition.

The angling world has taken a while to come to terms with this blasphemy. Caddis imitations are close to receiving their fare share of time on the end of the tippet, but too many anglers still assume all caddisflies are pretty much the same. Caddis species actually provide as much incentive to learn their specifics as the mayflies do. There is just as much variety in their emergence and egg-laying behaviors, and as many patterns and techniques are needed to match them. Anglers are hampered only by the relative lack of information about caddisfly behavior and identification.

The dissolved oxygen level can be an indication of how polluted the water is and how well the water can support aquatic plant and animal life. Generally, a higher dissolved oxygen level indicates better water quality. If dissolved oxygen levels are too low, some fish and other organisms may not be able to survive. Much of the dissolved oxygen in water comes from oxygen in the air that has dissolved in the water. Some of the dissolved oxygen in the water is a result of photosynthesis of aquatic plants. On sunny days, high DO levels occur in areas of dense algae or plants due to photosynthesis. Stream turbulence may also increase DO levels because air is trapped under rapidly moving water and the oxygen from the air will dissolve in the water. Water temperature also affects DO levels. Colder water can hold more oxygen in it than warmer water." }, { "docid": "D3424308#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_a_Mayfly_live\nHow long does a Mayfly live?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Arthropods Insects How long does a Mayfly live?

The material making up a wet fly—bird feathers, rabbit fur and chenille—absorbs water more readily. The wings on wet flies are pulled back away from the fly's head to encourage sinking.

Mayfly Life Cycle The mayfly life cycle is rather simple progressing from an egg directly to the nymph stage and then the adult stage, a process called incomplete metamorphosis. Mayfly nymphs closely resemble the adults they blossom into, unlike the Caddisfly that goes through a complete metamorphosis and looks nothing like the adult in the early (larval and pupal) development stages.

The Dry Fly The dry fly is probably one of the most exciting types of flies to fly fish for trout with. A dry fly is a type of fly that floats on the surface of the water. This makes it exciting because the fish has to come up to the top of the water and eat the fly off from the surface.

The magic of seeing a trout, bass or panfish take a dry fly floating on the surface of the water is one of the greatest sights in fly fishing. Deer-hair bass bugs and poppers, used for largemouth and smallmouth bass and panfish, are also dry flies because they float on the surface. Nymphs/Wet Flies Nymphs and wet flies represent the immature life stages of insects such as mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies and others. These flies are fished below the water's surface and usually work best just prior to a hatch of water-born insects, when the nymphs and pupae that they represent become active. Some special nymphs that imitate the emerging adult insect are fished just below or in the water's surface film." }, { "docid": "D1684097#0", "title": "https://southwest-fly-fishing.myshopify.com/blogs/features/13219033-rio-de-los-pinos-co-nm\nRio de los Pinos, CO/NM", "text": "Rio de los Pinos, CO/NMLegends, Miracles, and Dry-Fly Nirvana By Toner Mitchell Most well-traveled fly fishers have heard of the world-class fisheries along the New Mexico/Colorado border. Certainly, the San Juan River has been in the public fishing eye seemingly forever, and streams such as the Chama, Animas, and Conejos have always merited special mention as well. For my money, the Rio de los Pinos is one stream in the region that deserves a share of the spotlight, yet it bears the distinction of being one of the best trout streams the angling world has never heard of. Several qualities make Los Pinos an outstanding trout stream. The most noteworthy is, without a doubt, the wonderful dry-fly fishing. I chalk this bounty up to the plethora of aquatic and terrestrial insects that abound throughout the system, with regular emergences occurring in several species among the four main food groups. Baetis (Blue-Winged Olives), Pale Morning Duns, Pale Evening Duns, and Green Drakes, among other species, represent the mayflies. Stoneflies figure into the food scheme as well, with Salmonflies, Golden Stoneflies, and Yellow Sallies doing the heavy lifting. In the heart of the summer, caddisflies are so abundantly regular as prey that Los Pinos trout can usually be goaded into eating a well-presented imitation. And who in the Rockies goes out in the summer without a box of terrestrials?" } ]

Llamas are herbivores, which means they are plant eaters. They chew their food just a little and swallow it, then bring up a wad of cud. They then finish chewing it and swallow it again and finally, digest it. Cud is partly digested food. Llamas eat mainly hay, grass, and grain when in captivity.

Llamas were domesticated from the guanacos of the Andean highlands of Peru 5,000 to 6,000 years ago and are among the world's oldest domestic animals. While primarily a beast of burden for the native herdsmen, llamas also provided them with meat, wool, hides for shelter, manure pellets for fuel, and became sacrificial offerings to their gods. Today there are an estimated 7 million llamas and alpacas in South America. In the United States and Canada there is an estimated 65,000 llamas , 7,000 alpacas and 200 guanacos. Llamas have international appeal, with countries such as New Zealand augmenting their fiber industry with llama and alpaca wool.

Sheep and goat producers currently using llamas to guard their flocks are experiencing high levels of protection from predators. The information presented here is drawn from data collected through questionnaires and interviews with users of guard llamas. Although recent surveys demonstrate that guard llamas are effective in preventing livestock losses to predators, scientific surveys and controlled studies, which track losses to predators in flocks with and without guard llamas are needed. Predators While bears, cougars, bobcats, foxes and eagles are predators of sheep and goats and may be responsible for substantial loss, a 1990 report showed that coyotes caused 64% and dogs 14% of losses. Previous studies conducted in the western United States indicated that 76-100% of predator losses were due to coyotes. Coyotes also account for over 50% of predator losses to goats in the top five producing states. In the West, where most predator losses occur, an average 1-2.5% of the ewes and 1-9% of the lambs are killed annually. Twenty to 25% of producers sustained losses that exceeded 10% of their lambs, with some producers experiencing losses of 16% and higher.

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

They were headed toward California and their path took them through the territory of Utah. The wagon train made it through Utah during a period in time of violence history would later call the Utah War to rest in the area of Mountain meadows. It was leaders from the nearby militia called Nauvoo Legion that staged the attack on the train of pioneers. This militia was comprised of the Mormons that settled Utah. With the intent of pointing the finger at Native Americans they armed Southern Paiute Native Americans and coerced them to join their party in the attack.

When I was working on a project on this same subject, I couldn't find any resources that offered a basic, thorough overview, so I decided to provide one myself!Along the way, we'll look at: Natural vs. artificial ecosystems The different types of natural ecosystems How an ecosystem functions Human impacts The Definition of \"\"Ecosystem\"\"An ecosystem is a combination of two words: \"\"ecological\"\" and \"\"system.\"\" Together, they describe the collection of biotic and abiotic (living and non-living) components and processes that comprise a defined subset of the biosphere. ( The \"\"biosphere\"\" is the area of Earth that contains life, whether on the planet's surface or in the air. ) Natural vs. Artificial Ecosystems Natural ecosystems may be terrestrial (such as a desert, forest, or meadow) or aquatic (a pond, river, or lake). A natural ecosystem is a biological environment that is found in nature (e.g. a forest) rather than created or altered by man (a farm). Humans have modified some ecosystems for their own benefit.

The previous pair were given names (Bob & Brenda), but the current pair don’t have names. How can I tell which is which? Adult barn owls are very difficult to tell apart. The female is usually larger than the male and should be slightly darker coloured around the face. Adults are approx. 25cm tall (head to feet) and 33-35cm from top of head to tip of tail.

Homeschooling a Preschoolerby Kristen Chase on July 25, 201194sharetweetpin By Kristen Chase. Along with continuing to homeschool my daughter Quinlan, a soon-to-be second grader, I’ve officially decided to homeschool our son Drew, who is 4 and a half. As you probably know, that “half” is extremely important. With Quinlan, I created my own curriculum based on Cathy Duffy’s Top 100 Picks and for the most part, I felt it was successful. With a few tweaks, I think I’ll do the same this year. But for my son, I’m not entirely sure that’s the right approach. Unlike Quinlan who was already reading and writing by the time I got my hands on her (so to speak), my son has had little formal education. He’s definitely not as nimble when it comes to fine motor skills and while he does know the basics, probably more than I realize, he’s nowhere near where my oldest was at the same age. Part of that is also because he’s the second child, and didn’t get nearly as much of the time I spent with Quinlan doing flashcards, participating in music classes, and playing educational games." }, { "docid": "D3393085#0", "title": "http://thebookofhowrse.weebly.com/faq.html\nThe FAQ- Please read before sending me a question!", "text": "\"What does ____ stand for/mean?

When the King Ranch developed the Santa Gertrudis breed, they used performance based line breeding to make this breed the most uniform and consistent American breed.

Cattlemen who use Santa Gertrudis cross females recognize them as being cows with exceptional maternal qualities. Why should I use Durham Reds? Shorthorn and Red Angus cattle compliment each other. The American Shorthorn Association created this breed with the \"\"Shorthorn adding growth, efficient gain, leanness, and docility while the Red Angus contributes low birth weight and fleshing ability\"\". Many cattlemen like to use all British influence in their cowherd. This is part of the reason why the black baldy became so popular.

In an interview with Indie Wire, he said, “It’s the romance of living in that time, everything from the horses to the guns. There’s a very romantic notion, the kind of surviving through all of that and living out there in those days. A lot of people look back on that and wish we were sort of there again, in many ways. ”“It’s not just the negative aspects, like the violence and sort of the being caught out in the elements. All of that are certainly part of it, but it’s also just the quiet, giant, empty spaces that we don’t have anymore, or we certainly don’t experience every day anymore. ”On Netflix’s limited Western series “Godless,” a sharp-shooter named Roy Goode (Jack O’Connell) flees from the gang of outlaws he used to run with and ends up in La Belle, a town populated mainly by women. As his erstwhile adoptive father Frank Griffin ( Jeff Daniels) tracks down Roy, the town must hunker down to prepare for the coming battle.

Many common disease conditions in sugar gliders are the direct result of improper diet. Their name \"\"sugar glider\"\" suggests that sugar and fruit make up a large portion of their diet, however, this is not the case. Sugar gliders are omnivorous meaning they eat a variety of foods. You will also hear sugar gliders referred to as insectivore/omnivore indicating that insects make up a large portion of their diet in the wild. In the sugar glider's natural domain insects are primary to the diet, and when insects are abundant is generally when most of the breeding will occur. Insects are very high in protein, so it stands to reason that breeding gliders require a significant amount of protein in their captive diet when breeding is taking place. Sugar gliders will rely on other food sources as the abundance of insects decrease in the colder winter months.

Although the grain mites themselves aren’t particularly harmful to feeders, geckos or humans beyond possibly causing a mild, itchy, allergic reaction, they’re nearly impossible to get rid of without discarding the bedding and, inevitably, the feeders it houses. You’ll notice that I titled this article “How I Got Rid of Grain Mites” rather than “How to Get Rid of Grain Mites”. This is because I’m no grain mite expert, but have successfully de-bugged my collection and saved most of my feeders in the process. Success is not guaranteed, but give it a try. What are they? Grain mites are tiny (0.013 to 0.026 inch long) arthropods that infest grain or other food, usually in humid, warm conditions. They are difficult to see individually without magnification, but, due to their high reproduction rate, manifest themselves as a brownish or grayish dust on some surfaces, and with a wavelike motion in the grain they have infested.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF A YAGI The word \"\"Yagi\"\" is used to describe a type of antenna and is credited to very famous Japanese antenna experts by the names of Yagi and Uda! Most hams refer to this type of antenna as the \"\"Yagi\"\" rather than use both men's names.

These parasitic elements are called the \"\"reflector\"\"and the \"\"directors.\"\" The reflector is on the far left in the picture above and the directors are all of the elements starting from the third element from the left and continuing to the right side of the picture. The horizontal section between all of the elements in the Yagi is called the boom. From experimentation, they determined that the \"\"effect\"\" of their designs created much more \"\"powerful\"\" antennas compared to the standard dipole by just adding a few more elements to it. They also learned that by changing the space between the elements, and the element lengths, that they could \"\"tune\"\" it to get various results depending on what they wanted it to do." }, { "docid": "D3298483#0", "title": "https://lifehacker.com/five-best-indoor-over-the-air-hd-antennae-1513572532\nFive Best Indoor Over-the-Air HD Antennae", "text": "\"Five Best Indoor Over-the-Air HD Antennae Alan Henry2/02/14 10:00am Filed to: hive five 94 7Cutting the cord doesn’t mean you have to give up on TV entirely.

In this section we'll take a look at why we should worry about impedance matching in antenna systems and what effect may be due to a matched or unmatched condition. It will be seen that impedance matching is important in two separate instances for very different reasons: the transmitter to transmission line match and the transmission line to antenna match. Transmitter Power. We've all heard that our transmitters have an output impedance of 50 ohms. ( No, you can't measure that with an ohm meter - I tried.) Or perhaps in the transmitter specifications it says that the transmitter will deliver 100 watts, for example, into a 50 ohm load, which is the same thing. What does that mean? What is the significance of 50 ohms? First, remember that power is voltage times current: P = E I. Also from Ohm's Law voltage is current times resistance: E = I R. Therefore, we can calculate the needed voltage and current from power and resistance using I = SQRT (P / R) and V = SQRT (P R)." }, { "docid": "D2926953#0", "title": "http://blog.solidsignal.com/content.php/2005-Using-Matching-Transformers-Baluns-and-Chokes\nMatching Transformers, Baluns, and Chokes", "text": "This article originally appeared in 2013 but has been extensively updated. I will try to give some basic information about what each of these things is, when to use them, and when not to use them. Balun is a contraction of two words, Balanced and Unbalanced, and it refers to the type of antenna to the type of feed-line. An example of a balanced antenna is the full-wave loop, the dipole, and the bowtie antenna. An example of an unbalanced antenna is the long wire antenna, or even a non-center fed dipole antenna. An example of a balanced feed-line is the old TV feed-line standard called twin-lead, usually made of a brown plastic insulator surrounding two parallel wires. An example of the unbalanced feed-line is the now very common TV 75 Ohm coax. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of feed line, but since it is rather difficult to find twin lead except for amateur radio use, and since most TV stations have moved up into either the upper VHF or the UHF frequencies, we'll stick to using the unbalanced 75 Ohm coax for this discussion. A quick note here, the coax we use can be a balanced feed line and the twin lead can be an unbalanced feed line. This can be rather confusing and a good article to read is by Walt Fair, Jr., W5ALT, located at: Antenna Notes The use of a balun is to remove the current from the outside of the coax and re-balance the feed line system." }, { "docid": "D1238766#0", "title": "http://www.cbtricks.com/members/toban/swrset.htm\n.", "text": "\"CB/Ham Field-Strength and/or SWR Meter... INTRODUCTION Your CB/Ham Field-Strength SWR Meter helps you tune your CB or amateur radio system for the best performance. CB and amateur radio systems work best when the antenna system's impedance matches the transmitter's output impedance as closely as possible. The meter's standing wave ratio (SWR) function helps you trim your antenna to the precise length you need for the maximum transmitted power. The meter's field strength function helps you position your antenna for the best coverage and determine the effectiveness of changes you make to your antenna, antenna cable, and transmitter. MEASURING SWRMeasuring SWR shows you how much of your radio's transmit power is reflected from the antenna back into the antenna cable, generating heat and wasting power. With this information, you can adjust the length of your antenna or antenna cable so your antenna and radio combination can produce the maximum power they are capable of producing.

Dr. James F. Corum, K1AONThe inductor calculator presented on this page is unique in that it employs the n=0 sheath helix waveguide mode to determine the inductance of a coil, irrespective of its electrical length. This allows for more accurate inductance predictions at high frequencies. Furthermore, the calculator closely follows the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) methodology for applying round wire and non-uniformity correction factors and takes into account both the proximity effect and the skin effect. The development of this calculator has been primarily based on the 2001 IEEE Microwave Review article by the Corum brothers [1] and the correction formulas presented in David Knight's, G3YNH, theoretical overview [2], extended with a couple of personal additions. Which equivalent circuit should be used? Both equivalent circuits yield exactly the same coil impedance at the design frequency. For narrowband applications around a single design frequency the effective equivalent circuit may be used. When needed, additional equivalent circuits may be calculated for additional design frequencies. The lumped equivalent circuit is given here mainly for the purpose of comparing with other calculators." }, { "docid": "D193461#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstrip_antenna\nMicrostrip antenna", "text": "\"A microstrip antenna array for a satellite television receiver. Diagram of the feed structure of a microstrip antenna array. In telecommunication, a microstrip antenna (also known as a printed antenna) usually means an antenna fabricated using microstrip techniques on a printed circuit board (PCB). [ 1] They are mostly used at microwave frequencies. An individual microstrip antenna consists of a patch of metal foil of various shapes (a patch antenna) on the surface of a PCB, with a metal foil ground plane on the other side of the board. Most microstrip antennas consist of multiple patches in a two-dimensional array. The antenna is usually connected to the transmitter or receiver through foil microstrip transmission lines. The radio frequency current is applied (or in receiving antennas the received signal is produced) between the antenna and ground plane. Microstrip antennas have become very popular in recent decades due to their thin planar profile which can be incorporated into the surfaces of consumer products, aircraft and missiles; their ease of fabrication using printed circuit techniques; the ease of integrating the antenna on the same board with the rest of the circuit, and the possibility of adding active devices such as microwave integrated circuits to the antenna itself to make active antennas.

The decibel (symbol: d B) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale. It can be used to express a change in value (e.g., +1 d B or -1 d B) or an absolute value. In the latter case, it expresses the ratio of a value to a reference value; when used in this way, the decibel symbol should be appended with a suffix that indicates the reference value or some other property. For example, if the reference value is 1 volt, then the suffix is \"\" V \"\" (e.g, \"\"20 d BV\"\"), and if the reference value is one milliwatt, then the suffix is \"\" m \"\" (e.g., \"\"20 d Bm\"\"). [ 1]There are two different scales used when expressing a ratio in decibels depending on the nature of the quantities: field, power, and root-power. When expressing power quantities, the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. [ 2] That is, a change in power by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 10 d B change in level. When expressing field quantities, a change in amplitude by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 20 d B change in level. The extra factor of two is due to the logarithm of the quadratic relationship between power and amplitude." }, { "docid": "D852750#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combiner\nPower dividers and directional couplers", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Combiner)navigation search A 10 d B 1.7–2.2 GHz directional coupler.

They couple a defined amount of the electromagnetic power in a transmission line to a port enabling the signal to be used in another circuit. An essential feature of directional couplers is that they only couple power flowing in one direction. Power entering the output port is coupled to the isolated port but not to the coupled port. A directional coupler designed to split power equally between two ports is called a hybrid coupler. Directional couplers are most frequently constructed from two coupled transmission lines set close enough together such that energy passing through one is coupled to the other.

The impedance (more correctly, \"\"nominal impedance\"\") is really no more than a label which can be attached to a transformer or a winding. The nominal impedance just gives an idea of the impedance of the circuit in which it could be used. If you measure the impedance of the primary winding you will see the \"\"reflected\"\" impedance of the load you connect to the secondary winding. If the secondary is left unconnected you will measure an impedance which is a function of the primary inductance and of course the result will depend on the frequency of measurement. We normally design transformers so that the measured impedance is about 3 x the nominal impedance at the lowest frequency, typically 20Hz. \"\" Reflected\"\" means multiplied by the turns ratio squared. For example if you connect a 10,000 ohm resistor to the secondary of a 1:10 step up transformer and measure the input impedance you will measure approximately 10,000 X (0.1 squared) ohms i.e.100 ohms.

With a little insight, balancing these various characteristics—including frequency selection, one-way versus two-way systems, modulation techniques, cost, antenna options, power-supply influences, effects on range, and protocol selection—can make radio system design easier.1. Common short-range-radio design tradeoffs include type of modulation, power and power consumption, range, antenna, direction, and cost. Selecting The Right Frequency Why would a designer want to operate in the 868/915-MHz band rather than the 433.92-MHz part of the spectrum? In other words, how do you choose which frequency to use? Two primary considerations influence the answer: either the application has a traditional and/or predefined band in which it operates, or the designer must balance the tradeoffs of each parameter in the design to make the best band selection. Commonly the most important parameter of a new design is meeting a targeted range for the system. Determining which band would be a better choice would be easier if the application had an unrestricted antenna size and placement, if the distance between radios were clear from obstructions, and if the units were wired to line voltage supplies. But if the application is a consumer product that must have an unexposed antenna, if its signal must penetrate walls in a home, and if its system needs to run for several years off of a coin cell battery, these tradeoffs become more important." }, { "docid": "D3077146#0", "title": "http://ka7oei.blogspot.com/2013/03/getting-atomic-wwvb-clocks-to-work.html\n\"Getting \"\"Atomic\"\" (WWVB) clocks to work indoors and in weak signal areas\"", "text": "\"Getting \"\"Atomic\"\" (WWVB) clocks to work indoors and in weak signal areas Figure 1: Shielded loop for WWVB (60 k Hz).

The main things you need to be aware of when selecting a transmission line between your radio and your antenna are: The type of cable you need depends on the frequency of operation, the power level, the length of cable you need (you need better cable if you have a long run for instance) and whether the cable will be installed inside, outside, buried in the ground, and also will depend on whether the cable will be subjected to frequent bending (such as the cable that connects to an antenna on a tower with a rotator), or if the cable will lay on the ground where it may be stepped on by people.

With my 6-element vertical array almost complete, and winter coming, I decided to replace the loops with an 80 meter inverted vee. This new antenna would be a good antenna to compare against the verticals. While there are antennas which are more complex than an inverted vee, there are still several issues to be considered.

The electrical length is then typically expressed as N wavelengths or as the phase φ expressed in degrees or radians. Thus in a microstrip design one might specify a shorted stub of 60° phase length, which will correspond to different physical lengths when applied to different frequencies. Or one might consider a 2-meter section of coax which has an electrical length of one quarter wavelength (90°) at 25 MHz and ask what its electrical length becomes when the circuit is operated at a different frequency.

This guide answers these questions and offers helpful hints on media streamer types, popular brands, common forms of streamed media, and what to look for when purchasing a media streamer. History of Streaming Media The first official form of streaming media involved muzak (also known as elevator music), which was transmitted along electrical lines to commercial customers without using a radio. George O. Squier applied for and was granted patents for the technology in the 1920s. Attempts to stream media over computers were attempted in the early days of the computer age, but due to the limits of the technology at that time this was not possible. It wasn't until the 1980s and 90s that computers developed to the point where they could play and display media. As technology progressed, the development of better networking via the Internet, the increase of bandwidths, and the use of such protocols as TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTML allowed for the first true streaming to take place. The development of Flash allowed for even more functionality with streaming media. But most of all, it was the commercialization of the Internet that led to the development of live streams and on-demand streaming that is available today." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2924688#0", "title": "https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/03/women-make-living-gaming-twitch\nThe women who make a living gaming on Twitch", "text": "The women who make a living gaming on Twitch Women battle old-fashioned sexism and new forms of harassment to become big players in the world of professional gamingby Stephanie Convery Mon 2 Jan 2017 20.56 EST06.53 EST1,476 428Two years ago Chelsea quit her job as a pharmacy technician to play video games. “I went to work one day and I was like, ‘I would actually be making more money if I had stayed at home and kept playing video games than coming here,’” she says.

In the years since, the line between retailers and hardware makers have blurred, what with Amazon’s continued push into consumer electronics and Google getting more into the gadget act.

Meme Status Submission Type: Slang Badges: Researching Year1990Origin Unknown Tagsnetflix, hulu, streaming, serial, television Additional References Urban Dictionary Wikipedia About Binge watching, alternately spelled binge-watching, refers to the practice of watching several episodes of a serial television show in one sitting, as opposed to on a weekly or staggered schedule. The practice came into favor when online streaming services Netflix and Hulu began to provide access to complete runs of television shows in the early 2010s, allowing people to watch them continuously with minimum effort. Origin Though a snowclone of binge drinking, the exact origin of binge watching as a term is unknown. The Oxford English Dictionary claims that it was first used in the circles of general television fandom in the 1990s, when television shows first began to be released in full DVD sets. [ 2] They further claim that 2013 was the year that the word went into wide circulation." }, { "docid": "D3245632#0", "title": "https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/best-streaming-devices/\nFrom the Roku Ultra to Amazon Fire TV, these are the best streaming devices", "text": "Home Theater From the Roku Ultra to Amazon Fire TV, these are the best streaming devices By Kris Wouk — Posted on December 20, 2017 - 1:56PMWhile virtually all TVs ship with smart features these days, they may not be the features you want, as many streaming services are only available via external hardware. The best solution: Buy a worthy streaming media player. The problem is, a veritable smorgasbord of available choices makes this a more complicated and daunting task than ever before. With TVs offering 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR), you want to make sure you buy a streamer that is compatible, but that’s only the start. You also want to make sure that the streaming services you care about (and the content you want to watch) can be easily found, without having to scour the web for hours. This article serves up the cream of the crop — the best streaming devices out there — so you can get the absolute most from your streaming experience. Our pick Roku Ultra Why should you buy this: It’s the best streamer on the market, and it’s affordable to boot. The best Roku Ultra For $70, the Roku Ultra offers 4K and HDR, plus several unique features you won’t find in other similarly priced products.$69.99 from Amazon$51.59 from Sears Who it’s for: Anyone who wants to stream 4K and HDR through an easy-breezy interface. How much will it cost: $70Why we picked the Roku Ultra: Prior to announcing its new line of streamers in October, Roku already held the top spot on our list, with the Roku Premiere+ earning the imaginary blue ribbon. Boasting support for 4K playback and HDR color reproduction, the Premiere+ was pretty much the ultimate set-top box when it launched at $100." }, { "docid": "D2588019#0", "title": "http://www.xsgeo.com/course/acq.htm\nSEISMIC ACQUISITION", "text": "\"SEISMIC ACQUISITIONversion 1.0 released 29/1/99INTRODUCTIONZERO-OFFSET AND CMP METHODSNORMAL MOVEOUTFORMING A CMP GATHERTYPICAL ACQUISITION GEOMETRIESGATHER TYPES AND DOMAINSEFFECTS OF DIP AND STRUCTURESEISMIC ACQUISITION IN PRACTICEOBSERVERS LOGSNAVIGATIONRECORDING SYSTEMSRECORDING POLARITYSAMPLING AND ALIASINGTAPE FORMATSONBOARD PROCESSINGTYPICAL SHOT RECORDSADVANCED TOPICSINTRODUCTIONIn this section we introduce the concepts of seismic acquisition, starting with a simple ray-based concept and ending with more practical details of the typical systems in use today. The contents of this chapter are fundamental to seismic processing.return to contents ZERO-OFFSET AND CMP METHODSThe simplest type of acquisition would be to use a single coincident source and receiver pair and profile the earth along a line as shown in the adjacent figure. Such an experiment would be called a zero-offset experiment because there is no offset distance between source and receiver (both marked as a yellow dot on the figure). The resulting seismic data will be single-fold because there will only be a single trace per sub-surface position. The zero-offset concept is an important one and the method might be used in practise if noise could be ignored. In order to overcome the noise problem and additionally to estimate earth velocity, the method of acquisition most commonly used is the Common-Mid-Point (CMP) method. The same method is also called Common-Depth-Point (CDP). Neither of the two names exactly describes the method, so while both are equally invalid, CMP is usually preferred. The general idea of the method is to acquire a series of traces ( gather) which reflect from the same common subsurface mid-point. In the adjacent figure source points are shown in red and receiver points in green." }, { "docid": "D714113#0", "title": "http://midcurrent.com/experts/experts-top-ten-dry-and-wet-flies/\nExpertsâ Top Ten Dry and Wet Flies", "text": "Experts’ Top Ten Dry and Wet Fliesby Philip Monahan Have a question you want answered?

Twitch's biggest streamers are a new breed of Internet celebrity, with legions of dedicated fans who tune in daily to watch them dominate League of Legends matches or hilariously scream their way through horror games. Many of these personalities have a litany of sponsors and hundreds of thousands of social media followers — two traits more typical of a pro athlete than someone who plays video games for a living.

As your collection of music, movies, videos, photos, apps and files grow on your i Phone, you may find yourself wanting a more expensive model configured with even more storage capacity.

BYO-storage with a wireless media streamer Mobile wireless media streamers are portable devices that operate on battery power and can serve as a wireless drive for your i Phone. Rather than getting a wireless drive, wireless media streamers offer the flexibility for you to expand your storage options in the future. Many of the devices allow you to either connect your own memory card with an SD or micro SDXC card slot on the device. A few offer the option to connect a USB drive so you can attach a portable hard drive or a USB flash drive. Essentially, going this route converts your memory card, flash drive or hard drive into a wireless media sharing device. It instantly adds Wi-Fi to your existing storage media in a cost-effective manner, and you can swap between various memory cards or USB drives to further augment or manage your storage in the future as your needs change.

On this national holiday, children are respected and honored for their individual strengths and happiness is wished upon them. Children's Day was originally known as Tango no Sekku (literally nearing the seventh sign of the chinese zodiac, but usually translated as Boys Day) and was a celebration for boys. The holiday was officially changed to celebrate the health and growth of both girls and boys in 1948. Kodomo no hi is particularly well known for the unique traditions and decorations that are associated with the celebration of the holiday. On Kodomo no hi, Koinobori, or cloth carp streamers, are flown on poles outside of public buildings and private houses to bring luck and good fortune to the children inside.

Image: Mashable Composite, Twitch By Alex Magdaleno Aug 08, 2014Twitch, the popular video game streaming platform, is no stranger to the emoji craze — only its pictographic language is significantly different to the one on your i Phone keyboard. As more and more people head to the site to watch their favorite streamers play their favorite video game, the interactive chat feature and its list of emoticons have grown as well — having been part of the Twitch experience since its launch in 2011 (the streaming site Justin.tv created the platform specifically for gaming content). See also: Playing Video Games Is a Full-Time Job for This Twitch Streamer Instead of selecting their emoticon from a keyboard-based list of options, Twitch viewers type a one-word phrase into chat. The phrase often has an extremely obscure connection to the image. For instance, if a viewer types the word \"\"Franker Z,\"\" a picture of a dog will appear in the chat. Viewers can use multiple emoticons at once, so you will see walls of these emoticons. Here's a sample of what the Twitch chat of EDM superstar Steve Aoki's first concert broadcast on the platform looked like — not the crying faces (\"\"Bible Thump\"\") and the gray faces (\"\"Kappa\"\"). Image: Twitch While Twitch had a role in the creation of its earliest emoticons, a large portion of the now 10,000 emoticons have been created by streamers who either make the pictures themselves or enlist the help of artists in the community. What started out as being an inside joke between the early founders of Justin.tv has effectively turned into a community-building tool — and the language of Twitch." }, { "docid": "D593621#0", "title": "https://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-set-up-a-home-media-center-with-kodi-xbmc/\nBuild your own home media center: Get started with Kodi", "text": "Media Streamers Build your own home media center: Get started with Kodi Want to build one PC to rule all your living room media needs?

Not only is there more content than ever online, but it's easier to search through it and play it on your big-screen TV with a streaming media player. The Easiest Way to Stream: Use the gadgets you already have There's a good chance you already have a streaming media player at home, even if you aren't already using it to stream Netflix to your television. Recently purchased TVs and Blu-ray players probably have \"\"smart\"\" features to get you online and streaming from a variety of services. Certain TV brands let you mirror content directly from your mobile device to your big screen, if your mobile device is the same brand. For example, an LG phone or tablet can mirror to an LG television via LG Miracast, and a Samsung phone or tablet can mirror or send video to a Samsung TV via Samsung Screen Mirror or Smart View. Any modern gaming console (Play Station 3, Play Station 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wii U) comes with at least basic streaming capabilities. You can plug your computer into your television with an HDMI cable to show anything you can play on your computer on your television. You can expect to get basic streaming abilities from any of these services: Netflix, Hulu, You Tube and usually Amazon Video.

Media streamer Setting up a media centre using the Raspberry Pi is a popular choice, perhaps unsurprisingly given how easy it is to connect the board to a TV via composite or HDMI. Setting up a Pi-based streamer will be relatively straightforward using the free open source media centre software XBMC. The software can stream music and video stored online or locally, and can be configured to work with TV catch-up services like BBC i Player, as well as being completely controllable using a remote control. The team behind XBMC has a video of it playing 1080p video without any difficulty. However there is one rather large drawback, the on-demand film streaming services offered by Lovefilm and Netflix are both currently incompatible with XBMC running on the Pi. Anyone wanting to stream content wirelessly will also have to add a USB wifi adapter.2.

Additionally, Soviet spy Aldrich Ames, who had earned more than $2 million cash for his espionage, was also charged with tax evasion as none of the Soviet money was reported on his tax returns. Ames attempted to have the tax evasion charge dismissed on the grounds his espionage profits were illegal, but the charges stood.5th Amendment [ edit]The United States Supreme Court has ruled that requiring a person to declare income on a federal income tax return does not violate an individual's right to remain silent, [2] although the privilege may apply to allow the person to refrain from revealing the source of the income. [ 3]Income [ edit]In James v. United States (1961), [4] the Supreme Court held that an embezzler was required to include his ill-gotten gains in his \"\"gross income\"\" for Federal income tax purposes. In reaching this decision, the Court looked to the seminal case setting forth the tax code’s definition of gross income, Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Glenshaw Glass Co., [5] in which the Supreme Court held that a taxpayer has gross income when he has \"\"an accession to wealth, clearly realized, and over which the taxpayers have complete dominion\"\". [ 6] At the time the embezzler acquired the funds, he did not have a consensual obligation to repay, or any restriction as to his disposition of the funds. [ 7] If he had acquired the funds under the same circumstances legally, there would have been no question as to whether he should have gross income. Therefore, the embezzler had gross income under the tax code, even though the application of another body of law would later force him to return the money." }, { "docid": "D1873673#0", "title": "http://www.bioidenticalboulder.com/\n.", "text": "This Directory of Bioidentical Hormone Doctors in Denver Colorado lists physicians who use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to balance deficient hormones in men and women of all ages. People in Denver Colorado and the immediate surroundings can improve their overall level of health and wellness with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. This process provides men and women with natural replacement hormones made from soy and yam plant extracts that have an identical hormonal structure to the human body. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream. They are necessary for several essential human functions, including: Growth and development Metabolism and weight control Mood stability Sexual functioning and reproduction Immunity to common illnesses Sleep If you struggle in any of these areas and you’re not sure why, there’s a good chance you could have a hormone imbalance. A doctor offering Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Denver Colorado can help you determine which hormones are deficient and then devise a treatment plan to balance them. Bioidentical Hormones vs. Synthetic Hormones What bioidentical and synthetic hormones have in common is that they’re both produced in a pharmaceutical laboratory using chemical substances. However, prescriptions for synthetic hormones typically alter the molecular structure of the chemical substances or use hormones commonly found in animals. Bioidentical hormones are exactly the same as human hormones in terms of molecular and cellular structure. Because of the bioidentical nature of these replacement hormones, your body absorbs them faster and you’re far less likely to experience any of the side effects associated with synthetic hormones." }, { "docid": "D180762#0", "title": "http://health.costhelper.com/echocardiograms.html\nEchocardiogram Cost", "text": "\"With Health Insurance: Copay or 10%-50% Coinsurance Without Health Insurance: $1,000-$3,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (43)An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to look at the heart and can be used for diagnosis and during treatment of various conditions, including congenital heart disease, heart murmurs, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and heart infection. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket cost for an echocardiogram typically consists of a copay or coinsurance of 10%-50%. An echocardiogram typically is covered by insurance when ordered to help diagnose or monitor a heart problem, but not as a routine screening test. For example, United Healthcare [ 1] covers it for diagnosis and monitoring of a range of heart abnormalities in adults, but does not cover it for screening in the general population, including athletes with no symptoms of heart disease. For patients not covered by health insurance, an echocardiogram typically costs $1,000-$3,000 or more, including a $200-$300 fee for interpretation by a cardiologist. Costs for a standard (transthoracic) echocardiogram tend to fall in the middle of the range, while costs for a stress echocardiogram, which involves exercising on a treadmill, or a transesophageal echocardiogram, which involves inserting a scope down the throat and through the esophagus to get a better view, tend to be on the higher end. For example, Wooster Community Hospital in Ohio charges about $900, not including the interpretation fee, for a standard echocardiogram. St. Peter's Hospital [ 2] in Montana charges almost $1,200. Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center [ 3] in Nebraska charges about $1,400 for a standard echocardiogram and almost $2,000 for a transesophageal echocardiogram, not including interpretation fee.

About the Project and Work Group The NCSL Sentencing and Corrections Work Group project was developed under an NCSL partnership with the Public Safety Performance Project (PSPP) of the Pew Center on the States. The NCSL project responds to the challenges faced by states as they consider corrections and sentencing policies that both manage state spending and protect the public. The Pew PSPP was launched in 2006 to help states advance fiscally sound, data-driven policies and practices in sentencing and corrections. Pew’s work has included research, technical assistance, and funding and overseeing a variety of efforts both in states and nationally to support strategies that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable and control corrections costs. The NCSL Criminal Justice Program assembled the Sentencing and Corrections Work Group in 2010. The bipartisan, 18-member group includes officers of NCSL’s Law and Criminal Justice Committee and other legislators who are recognized as leaders on these issues." }, { "docid": "D780315#0", "title": "http://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/state-sovereign-immunity-and-tort-liability.aspx\nState Sovereign Immunity and Tort Liability", "text": "\"Contents Overview Table of Citations Notes Sources NCSL Resources2010 State Legislation Concerning State Liability and Sovereign Immunity (Aug. 2010 update)Download PDF version of the table NCSL Civil and Criminal Justice Program NCSL Standing Committee on Law and Criminal Justice Weather or Not? State Liability and Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS)NCSL Staff Contacts Heather Morton NCSL—Denver Susan Frederick NCSL—D. C. State Sovereign Immunity and Tort Liability For most of American history, sovereign immunity almost universally protected federal and state governments and their employees from being sued without their consent. Starting in the mid-1900s, however, a trend toward government accountability began to erode sovereign immunity. In 1946, the federal government passed the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U. S. C.§2674), waiving immunity to suit and liability for some actions. Many state legislatures followed by enacting statutes to define the limits of immunity for state governmental entities and employees. Today, state tort claims acts modeled after the FTCA are the most prevalent statutory waiver allowing tort claims against the state. These acts either provide a general waiver of immunity with certain exceptions, or reenact immunity with limited waivers that apply only to certain types of claims. State claims acts (as opposed to tort claims acts) are another kind of statute that limit immunity and establish a procedure for claims against the state. These acts establish a special court of claims, board or commission to determine such claims, and may also limit damages or provide for certain exceptions to liability. Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina and Ohio use this approach." }, { "docid": "D1700805#0", "title": "https://www.uchealth.org/about/\nAbout UCHealth", "text": "At UCHealth, we do things differently.

Referral/Scheduling The first step actually begins when your doctor decides to use a diagnostic exam or test to assist in her or his diagnosis of your medical condition, injury or illness. For instance, if you have severe knee pain from a sports related injury, your doctor may refer you to have an MR scan of the knee. Or if you were experiencing severe heart burn or discomfort after eating, your doctor might refer you to have an x-ray of your upper gastro-intestinal (GI) system (esophagus and stomach). At this point, you, your doctor or your doctor's staff will help you schedule the needed diagnostic test. Note: Some exams may require you to not eat or drink from several hours up to a day before the exam. When the appointment is made make sure you ask what preparation, if any, you need to be aware of.

Most medical scientists conduct biomedical research and development to advance knowledge of life processes and of other living organisms that affect human health, including viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents. Past research has resulted in advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of many diseases. Basic medical research continues to build the foundation for new vaccines, drugs, and treatment procedures. Medical scientists engage in laboratory research, clinical investigation, technical writing, drug development, regulatory review, and related activities. Medical scientists study biological systems to understand the causes of disease and other health problems. For example, some try to identify changes in cells or in chromosomes that signal the development of medical problems. They use this knowledge to develop treatments and design research tools and techniques that have medical applications. Medical scientists involved in cancer research may formulate a combination of drugs that will lessen the effects of the disease. They can then work with physicians to administer these drugs to patients in clinical trials, monitor their reactions, and observe the results." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1580303#0", "title": "http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/basicresearch/\nWhy Do Basic Research?", "text": "\"Why Do Basic Research?

Fear, an emotion that evolved to deal with danger, causes an automatic, rapid protective response that occurs without the need for conscious thought. It has been found that the body's fear response is coordinated by a small structure deep inside the brain, called the amygdala. The amygdala, although relatively small, is a very complicated structure, and recent research suggests that anxiety disorders may be associated with abnormal activitation in the amygdala.

The dreamer may wake up to avoid the perceived danger. Nightmares can be remembered upon awakening and may lead to difficulties returning to sleep or even cause daytime distress. Isolated nightmares are normal, but when dreams that bring extreme terror or anxiety recur often they can become a debilitating sleep disorder. Definition Occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a nightmare is a dream that results in feelings of extreme fear, horror, distress, or anxiety. This phenomenon tends to occur in the latter part of the night and often awakens the sleeper, who is likely to recall the content of the dream. Most nightmares are a normal reaction to stress, and some clinicians believe they help people work through traumatic events. Frequent occurrence of nightmares, however, becomes a disorder when it impairs social, occupational, and other important areas of functioning. At this point, it may be referred to as Nightmare Disorder (formerly Dream Anxiety Disorder) or \"\"repeated nightmares,\"\" which is a term defined more specifically as a series of nightmares with a recurring theme.

About the Book In 1950, Henrietta Lacks, a young mother of five children, entered the colored ward of The Johns Hopkins Hospital to begin treatment for an extremely aggressive strain of cervical cancer. As she lay on the operating table, a sample of her cancerous cervical tissue was taken without her knowledge or consent and given to Dr. George Gey, the head of tissue research. Gey was conducting experiments in an attempt to create an immortal line of human cells that could be used in medical research.

He figured if Congress was so thoughtful to cut welfare to mothers and children (less than 3% of the federal budget), then perhaps it was time to eliminate corporate welfare (greater than 17% of the federal budget). Nader was quick to focus in on corporate welfare to the pharmaceutical industry, because the American people pay for drugs twice: first in funding the research to prove a drug is safe and effective, and then again when their doctor prescribes the drug, you pay at the pharmacy. Now there is a lot of talk about conspiracy theories and doctors suppressing therapies and the FDA suppressing therapies, but whether or not there is a conspiracy is a moot point. There doesn't have to be a conspiracy. We have capitalism, a system in which every person has the right to grow up and make money. Every major corporation has the right to make as much money as possible, and for some reason, major corporations get more welfare than little corporations. Thus it must be assumed that large corporations are much more important than small corporations. The pharmaceutical industry is an example of the worst parts of capitalism, capitalism at its least respectable low and capitalism at its most ludicrous high.

What is a Medical Laboratory Professional? Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) and Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) — also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS) — perform laboratory tests on patient samples to provide information needed to diagnose or monitor treatment. Examples of common laboratory tests include tests to detect anemia, diagnose diabetes and strep throat, and provide a transfusion to an accident victim. Professional duties include: Operating computerized instruments Identifying abnormal cells Assuring safe transfusion of blood products Culturing and identifying bacteria and viruses Correlating test results with patient's condition Selecting and evaluating lab equipment Selecting, orienting and evaluating employees Monitoring the quality of testing Source: NAACLS Standards for Accredited and Approved Programs After graduating and starting my job search, I quickly learned that I was mistaken. To conduct diagnostic laboratory testing in a clinical environment, like a hospital laboratory and most reference laboratories (which provide services for physicians), I needed to be certified or licensed as a medical laboratory scientist (MLS) or medical laboratory technician (MLT). After learning that I would be unable to work in a hospital laboratory, I decided to go to work for the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in the Bureau of Laboratories as a public health microbiologist. I worked in a variety of areas, including newborn screening and virology. Later, I was a molecular epidemiologist for the DSHS Zoonosis Control Division, where I became sort of a hybrid employee between the laboratory and in the field tracking zoonotic disease agents (for example, rabies, hantavirus and plague) as a molecular epidemiologist.

To answer that question, you need to clearly understand your diagnosis first, and then why it is that surgery is being considered.

Are there different kinds of surgeries to treat my condition and, if so, how do they compare? Back pain, for example, can be treated in various ways and by different specialists, for example, a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon.

Next Section Abstract Progressive care units are increasingly common in hospitals in the United States. These units are often used to bridge the gap between intensive care units and medical-surgical units, with the goal of providing cost-effective, high-quality, safe care. Although progressive care units today may seem to provide care for a wide variety of patients, these patients do share certain typical features: they require a high intensity of nursing care and/or a high level of surveillance. Nurses working in progressive care units all must have certain basic competencies. Those core competencies have been identified and should form the basis for education and training of progressive care nurses. It has been 10 years since the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) developed the Progressive Care Task Force and Advisory Panel to gather information to develop a better understanding of progressive care units and the needs of nurses working in those units. 1 During this time, the number of progressive care units (PCUs) throughout the United States has increased significantly 2 as many hospitals have adopted this model as a cost-effective way of providing quality health care to a distinct population of patients. 3 – 6 Initially developed in the 1970s to care for patients with myocardial infarction who required cardiac monitoring, 7 PCUs today often provide care for a variety of patients." }, { "docid": "D2314802#0", "title": "http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/office-surgery-registration/help-center/index.html\nHelp Center", "text": "\"Home Licensing and Regulation Office Surgery Registration Help Center Help Center Contact the Florida Department of [email protected] Mailing Address Florida Department of Health4052 Bald Cypress Way Tallahassee, FL 32399Q: Who needs to register with the Office Surgery Registration Program?

It covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km² (965,000 sq mi), but its connection to the Atlantic (the Strait of Gibraltar) is only 14 km (9 mi) wide. In oceanography, it is sometimes called the Eurafrican Mediterranean Sea or the European Mediterranean Sea to distinguish it from mediterranean seas elsewhere.

The paper is just the latest in a long line of research pointing out the wonders of this diet – so what are we to take from these latest findings? Despite its name, the Mediterranean diet is more a way of life based on the dietary traditions of Greece and southern Italy in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time, rates of chronic disease in these areas were among the lowest in the world, and adult life expectancy among the highest.

Fodder is a crop with a wide range of specific substitution, and adapted species and cultivars are available for all agricultural zones, so hay crops should be chosen according to:- local agro-ecological conditions; - the farming system; - the season when haymaking is to be carried out; and - the use to which the hay will be put. The level of technology influences crop choice and haymaking methods. Crops which require conditioning to accelerate drying, for example, are less suited to manual and simple implements, while fully mechanized systems can handle them. Crops, cultivars and climate When choosing crops and cultivars to suit local climatic and soil conditions, the cultivar or ecotype is as important as the species. It is necessary to find adapted cultivars for each situation, and they must be screened locally before widespread field use if they are not already proven. Local practice, seedsmen and information from research units should be consulted at the outset of a fodder development programme. There is usually a surprising amount of information available. Cultivar names are mentioned in Chapters IV to VI, usually referring to specific situations, but these are for illustration only. On-the-spot screening is necessary before crops can be recommended firmly." }, { "docid": "D886949#0", "title": "http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/149090.php\nWhat's to know about the Mediterranean diet?", "text": "\"Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Log in Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Login What's to know about the Mediterranean diet?

There is no single Mediterranean diet but the concept draws together the common food types and healthy habits from the traditions of a number of different regions, including Crete, Greece, Spain, southern France, Portugal, and Italy. More research is needed to confirm the precise benefits of the diet, but it is known to be low in trans fats, and free from refined oils and highly processed meats and foods.

This is a question that is most often asked when we experience the death of a loved one. I know personally, my attention was never so focused upon this question as when I found myself coping with grief, following the unexpected death of my brother. It is natural under these difficult circumstances to want to seek this kind of proof that allows us to know with certainty that our deceased loved ones actually do live on. Seeking Proof of Life After Death Our belief in an afterlife can be strengthened when we receive what we deem to be adequate ‘proof’ that our loved ones indeed do survive physical death. A reading with a medium can provide us with precisely what we need in terms of that proof. A good psychic medium has the ability to provide us with proof of life after death as they are able to tune into the energy of the deceased to relay messages to the loved ones who remain physically alive. In this sense, a psychic medium acts as a conduit between the realm of spirit and the physical plane. A reading with a good psychic medium can absolutely have the effect of convincing us that life after death is a reality and thus such a reading can go a long way in healing the deep grief we feel when we believe we have ‘lost’ our loved one through physical death. There are many who have gone into a reading with a psychic medium, completely immersed within their grief and emotional pain, who have exited their reading with an entirely new outlook and an absolute belief that life after death is real." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3131539#0", "title": "https://photographyicon.com/quotes/\n154 Incredible Photography Quotes", "text": "154 Incredible Photography Quotes Here is a fantastic collection of the remarkable photography quotes.

The first you don't eat because no man eats — or cares what he eats — at his wedding. The second you don't eat because, well, no man eats at his funeral, either. But the same hungry crowd shows up for both, and it used to be that they were offered the same menu — the cuisine of the banquet hall or the church basement. That's changed, of course. People go to weddings now for the food instead of the drink, and they expect not just a certain quantity of food but also a certain quality. Weddings have become an expression not just of our desires but also our ambitions, and so more and more the food at weddings is like the food everywhere else, with the ingredients parsed for purity and the preparation praised for ingenuity and the sushi chef standing where the carving table used to be. The foodies got to matrimony, as they've gotten to everything else, and the revolution they've fomented — of food not just as nourishment but as social signifier and ultimately as intellectual property — has left no meal untouched, except the last one. There are no foodies at funerals. There is only hunger, of an almost existential kind — hunger mixed with desolation and exhaustion and, above all, loneliness — and so people don't eat the food served after funerals so much as they submit to it, just as they submit to the dubious comforts of ritual, just as they submit to the necessarily tenuous consolations of well-wishers, just as the man lying in the box or filling the urn or scattered on the sea submitted to the ministrations of death itself." }, { "docid": "D2917753#0", "title": "https://sites.google.com/site/chs4o8pt/natural_mediumship\nA Natural Method for Learning To Communicate with Spirits", "text": "\" [ Home ] [ Site Map ] [ Blog ]A Natural Method for Learning To Communicate with Spirits Introduction Other Types of Psychic Perceptions Theta waves and the Hypnogogic State A Word of Warning Exercise 1: What is it like to receive communications from spirits?

A Christian Perspective", "text": "\", May 27, 2005Dr. Zukeran brings a biblical perspective to a question we all would like to know: what happens to me after I die? He looks to the Bible to determine what we can and cannot know about our life after we pass out of our present bodies. Differing Perspectives on Death For the entire existence of mankind, we have struggled with the question, “What happens after death?” Our answer to this dilemma has great implications for our life here on earth. Although many avoid the issue, we must sooner or later address the question. There are many competing answers to this question. Atheists believe that at death one ceases to exist. There is no afterlife or eternal soul that continues in eternity. All there is to look forward to is our inevitable death, the future death of mankind, and the universe." }, { "docid": "D2648195#0", "title": "http://www.psychicjoystar.com/NBCtvSHOWmediumCOMMENTARY.html\n.", "text": "\"Pretty Realistic – the TV show, MEDIUM.

L. Michael White: Professor of Classics and Director of the Religious Studies Program University of Texas at Austin STORY TELLINGIt's rather clear from the way that the stories develop in the gospels that the Christians who are writing the gospels a generation after the death of Jesus are doing so from a stock of oral memory, that is, stories that had been passed down to probably by followers. But if we think about the death of Jesus and remember a group of people who would have still been attached to him and to his memory after his death, it must have been a rather stark and traumatic period of time. Many of their initial hopes and expectations had been dashed. All of this talk of the kingdom of God arriving soon seemed to be disconfirmed with his death. And yet there's that story of his resurrection of his coming back to life. And it's around that memory, around that set of concerns that a lot of the earliest oral stories about Jesus must have circulated and must have been built. So we have to imagine the followers of Jesus getting together around the dinner table probably and talking about their memories, maybe it was the memory of something he actually said once upon a time or maybe it was a glimpse of an image that they had of him. Surely they thought it was some image of great power.... But the thing that keeps coming back is they tell the story of who he was in retrospect from the experience of what he became through his death and through the story of his resurrection.... Story telling was at the center of the beginnings of the Jesus movement. And I think we're right to call it the Jesus movement here because if we think of it as Christianity, that is, from the perspective of the kind of movement and institutional religion that it would become a few hundred years later, we will miss the flavor of those earliest years of the kind of crude and rough beginnings, the small enclaves trying to keep the memory alive, and more than that, trying to understand what this Jesus meant for them." }, { "docid": "D717042#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialization_(paranormal)\nMaterialization (paranormal)", "text": "\"Materialization (paranormal)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A depiction of Sir William Crookes confronting the alleged spirit materialization of Katie King In spiritualism, paranormal literature and some religions, materialization (or manifestation) is the creation or appearance of matter from unknown sources.

However, they could offer no convincing proof for such a fantastic claim. An apparently more convincing candidate, however, soon appeared on the scene. The name of the medium was Arthur Ford (1897–1971), a pastor of the First Spiritualist Church in New York City. Ford claimed that on February 8, 1928, he went into a trance and, talking in the voice of “Fletcher,” his spirit guide, he said that a woman identifying herself as the mother of Harry Houdini was anxious to speak. The spirit stated that her son, Harry, had hoped for years to receive one particular word from her, the word forgive, and added that “his wife knew the word, and no one else in all the world knew it. ”Forgive was, presumably, the last word uttered by Houdini’s mother on her deathbed and did probably refer to one of Houdini’s brothers, Leopold, who had been “guilty” of marrying Sadie, the ex-wife of Nathan, another Houdini brother. To the magician, this behavior had appeared morally inexcusable and led to the “removal” of Leopold from his life. He could have not forgiven his brother unless his mother told him to; however, her death came before the matter could be discussed. On learning of Ford’s message, Bess promptly wrote the following to Ford: Strange that the word forgive is the word Houdini awaited in vain all of his life." }, { "docid": "D2317338#0", "title": "http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Aradia_Megido\nAradia Megido", "text": "\"Aradia Megidoi think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart Introduction Page First Appearance Title Maid of Time Ageintroduction: 6 Alternian solar sweeps/ 13 Earth years credits: 9 (.69) Alternian solar sweeps/ 21 Earth years Screen Nameapocalypse Arisen Typing Style Pre Sgrub/Ghost: Replaces o's with 0's and omits capitalization and punctuation (other than in \"\"0_0\"\"), is less responsive/emotional when is a ghost.

Though, the giant panda has been listed as a carnivore its diet is primarily herbivorous, mostly always biting away at some Bamboo sticks. However, the giant panda's digestive system is that of a carnivore. Panda's are more than capable of defending themselves, they do that by using there physical strength as they can weigh up to 150kg, and they also have strong jaw muscles and huge molar teeth, which they use for tearing at bamboo sticks. A panda's bit can be very nasty. Panda's seem to have a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria in there stomachs.

It has highly developed senses of smell, vision, and hearing, and may sometimes be seen standing up on its hind legs, alert to danger. When a meerkat spots a predator, it will sound an alarm call to warn the others of the colony.. The meerkat has a long non-retractable, strong, 2 cm long, curved claw on the end of the meerkats fingers which the meerkat uses for digging underground burrows and the meerkats also use these claws for digging for prey. Meerkats have four toes on each foot and long slender limbs which along with the meekats curved claws helps the meerkat to climb trees when the meerkat needs to.

Now they are placed in their own family, Herpestidae. Safety in numbers: A “kat” is not a “cat” when it’s a meerkat, a vital, clever, and amazing weasel-like animal that is a member of the mongoose family. Most people know meerkats from the character Timon in The Lion King animated movie. However, instead of spending all their time with a warthog, most meerkats live in underground burrows in large groups of up to 40 individuals called a gang or a mob. For meerkats, there isn’t just safety in numbers—there’s also companionship. The mob is made up of several family groups, with one dominant pair that produces most of the offspring, but they don’t have to be related to belong to the same group. Meerkat mobs spend a lot of their time grooming and playing together to keep the family as a tight unit. This community existence helps the meerkats survive.

A member of the Mongoose family, Meerkats differ from the other 35 Mongoose species in a number of ways with the biggest difference being that Meerkats are incredibly sociable animals, where most Mongooses are not (only 3 other species are known to live in groups larger than pairs). There are three different sub-species of Meerkat that are found in varying geographic locations and although they are very similar in appearance, they differ slightly in their fur colouration and markings. All however, live in highly organised communities known as gangs or bands, that rely on one another for their survival in such hostile conditions as whilst the majority of the group is out foraging for food, others stand on guard to keep a watchful eye out for approaching predators. Meerkat Anatomy and Appearance The Meerkat is a small sized mammal that has a long and slender body with a long and light but black-tipped tail that can almost double the animal's total length. Meerkats are sandy to light brown in colour with eight darker stripes on their back, markings on their sides (which are unique to the individual) and a lighter face and underside. They have elongated muzzles with a black nose and dark coloured bands around their eyes. Meerkats have long, sharp claws on their front paws that are curved and can grow up to 2cm long and help them to both dig their burrows and to find small animals that are buried beneath the soft sand. The fur of the Meerkat has actually adapted remarkably to the differing desert conditions, not only helping to keep the animal cool during the boiling hot days, but also acting as a layer of insulation to keep it warm during the freezing-cold winter nights. Meerkat Distribution and Habitat The Meerkat is found in southern and western Africa inhabiting the dry and hostile scrub-lands of the Kalahari Desert." }, { "docid": "D3518694#0", "title": "http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6516936/meerkat-periscope-legal-issues-live-streaming-apps\nThe Meerkat Minefield: Legal Issues With Live-Streaming Apps", "text": "\"The Meerkat Minefield: Legal Issues With Live-Streaming Apps3/30/2015by Glenn Peoples FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL MEGetty Images Concert crowd filming with smartphones.

But any instant live-streaming service comes with potential legal issues. Public performance rights come into play here. Meerkat would need to acquire the proper licenses from ASCAP, BMI and SESAC to cover streams of live performances at concerts.

Reaching lengths of more than 20 ft and weighing up to 4,938 lb, the great white shark is arguably the world’s largest known predatory fish. It is the only surviving species of its genus. More than any documented attack, Peter Benchley’s best selling novel Jaws and the subsequent 1975 film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg provided the great white shark with the image of a “man eater” in the public mind. While great white sharks have been responsible for fatalities in humans, they typically do not target humans as prey: for example, in the Mediterranean Sea there were 31 confirmed attacks against humans in the last two centuries, only a small number of them deadly. Many incidents seem to be caused by the animals “test-biting” out of curiosity.9Cow Shark Cow sharks are considered the most primitive of all the sharks, because their skeletons resemble those of ancient extinct forms, with few modern adaptations. Their excretory and digestive systems are also unspecialised, suggesting that they may resemble those of primitive shark ancestors." }, { "docid": "D2539634#0", "title": "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2933208/Rarely-spotted-Megamouth-shark-washes-Philippine-beach.html\nNow THATâS a big set of jaws!

Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term \"\"shark\"\" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago. [ 1] Acanthodians are often referred to as \"\"spiny sharks\"\"; though they are not part of Chondrichthyes proper, they are a paraphyletic assemblage leading to cartilaginous fish as a whole. Since then, sharks have diversified into over 500 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark ( Etmopterus perryi ), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark ( Rhincodon typus ), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (40 ft) in length. Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive and be found in both seawater and freshwater.

The fauna of Australia consists of a huge variety of animals; some 83% of mammals, 89% of reptiles, 24% of fish and insects and 93% of amphibians that inhabit the continent are endemic to Australia. [ 2] This high level of endemism can be attributed to the continent's long geographic isolation, tectonic stability, and the effects of an unusual pattern of climate change on the soil and flora over geological time. A unique feature of Australia's fauna is the relative scarcity of native placental mammals. Consequently, the marsupials — a group of mammals that raise their young in a pouch, including the macropods, possums and dasyuromorphs — occupy many of the ecological niches placental animals occupy elsewhere in the world. Australia is home to two of the five known extant species of monotremes and has numerous venomous species, which include the platypus, spiders, scorpions, octopus, jellyfish, molluscs, stonefish, and stingrays. Uniquely, Australia has more venomous than non-venomous species of snakes. The settlement of Australia by Indigenous Australians between 48,000 and 70,000 years ago [3] (research in 2011 using DNA suggesting an arrival around 50,000 years ago), [4] and by Europeans from 1788, has significantly affected the fauna. Hunting, the introduction of non-native species, and land-management practices involving the modification or destruction of habitats have led to numerous extinctions. Some historical examples include the paradise parrot, pig-footed bandicoot and the broad-faced potoroo." }, { "docid": "D978201#0", "title": "http://www.enchantedlearning.com/coloring/oceanlife.shtml\n.", "text": "\"Click on an animal below to go to a printout: Ocean Animal Calendar A calendar to print, color, and read.

Full Answer Sharks that eat fish may also eat other marine life, and some species of shark do not eat fish. Species that fall into the filter feeder category, such as basking sharks, eat plankton, which are tiny organisms floating in the water. A filter feeder takes plankton-filled water into its mouth and expels only the water from its gills.

Before 1984 it was classified as Rhiniodon into Rhinodontidae. The species originated about 60 million years ago.

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

Megalodons roamed the seas from around 28 million years ago until ~1.6 million years ago, when they were wiped out during the Pleistocene extinction. Megalodons were, as we know, freaking huge. Some of the teeth discovered from this whopping great predator have been over 17 centimeters (7 inches) in total height, but the majority are between 3 and 5 inches (still, massive ). Reconstructions using jaws and other fossilized remains suggest that megalodons probably reached maximum lengths of up to 54 feet (16.5 meters), around 3 times larger than great whites ( C. carcharias ). They even make T-rex’s look like pansies in comparison. Image credit: Matt Martyniuk, via Wikimedia Commons. The widespread distribution of megalodon fossils, in particular teeth, suggests that it was a cosmopolitan species that inhabited a wide range of marine environments, preferring warm and temperate shallower waters. They were at the top of the food chain and would have eaten large prey such as cetaceans (dolphins and whales). As mentioned, megalodons went extinct an estimated 1.6 million years ago." } ]

If you are ever in doubt about what color you should wear to the wedding, ask the bride. Best Colors to Wear to a Wedding If the bride has no preference, then any color of the rainbow is appropriate for weddings, as long as you consider the event carefully.

It was developed in the Victorian era as a less formal alternative to a tail coat for evening wear. It has a few differences to the more usual lounge suit, which come from the job it is asked to do - as evening wear it is supposed to look smart, elegant but not overly showy. In general a dinner suit should be a canvas to allow your partner to show off her magnificent dress. The most obvious differences with a lounge suit do make it obviously party wear.

What to Wear In a military ball, service members wear dress blue or class A uniforms while guests complement them with formal attire. Male guests typically wear dark suits with a bow tie or a tuxedo. Women wear knee- to floor-length gowns, but also have the option of cocktail dresses, as long as detailing is minimal. Patterns and bright colors should be avoided. Women are not expected to get their hair professionally done, but many sport fancy curls or elegant hairdos. Since spouses will be greeting people with handshakes, hands should be well groomed.

When not in uniform, men should removed any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute. Although Legionnaires are considered \"\"in uniform\"\" by The American Legion simply by wearing an official American Legion cap, they should remove it and follow the procedure listed above when reciting the Pledge or when standing in silent reverence in memory of departed comrades. Proper protocol for Star-Spangled Banner is found in a separate code under Title 36 of Patriotic and National Observances, Ceremonies,and Organizations, and listed under Chapter 3, Section 301 on the National Anthem: xx During a rendition of the National Anthem, when the flag is displayed, (a) all present should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart; (b) men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and (c) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; and (d) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed. However, in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008, it contained an amendment to allow non-uniformed service members, military retirees, and veterans to render a hand salute during the hoisting, lowering, and passing of the U. S. Flag. In a later amendment in 2009, it authorized a hand-salute during the National Anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel. Thus part (b) above was modified to include \"\"members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D1693642#0", "title": "http://www.for-sale.co.uk/swagger-stick\nSecond hand Swagger Stick for sale on UK's largest auction and classifieds sites", "text": "\"e Bay Used, ARMY REGIMENTAL WALKING OUT CANE SWAGGER STHatfield Swagger stick 35 half inch in used condition there headquarters were in city road st. it looks as though it has doubled up as a picture with stand (stand has been removed from the back).

With smaller revenue streams coming from the women’s game, Djokovic had argued that men were entitled to more remuneration. At present, the major tournaments feature separate male and female fields at the same event, a situation that many feel benefits the less popular WTA, which can piggyback off the higher prestige of the men’s game, the ATP. Djokovic is on more than just solid ground.

The name derives from Tam o' Shanter, the eponymous hero of the 1790 Robert Burns poem. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Description2 Military use3 Police bands4 Academic tam5 Fashion tam6 See also7 References Description [ edit]The tam o' shanter is a flat bonnet, originally made of wool hand-knitted in one piece, stretched on a wooden disc to give the distinctive flat shape, and subsequently felted. [ 2] The earliest forms of these caps, known as a blue bonnet from their typical colour, were made by bonnet-makers in Scotland. By the year 1599 five bonnet-makers guilds had formed in cities around the country: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Stirling and Glasgow. [ 3] At the end of the sixteenth century, it was said that the Scottish caps were the normal fashion of men and servants, and they remained so throughout the seventeenth century. [ 3]Similar in outline to the various types of flat bonnet common in northwestern Europe during the 16th century, the later tam o' shanter is distinguished by the woollen ball or toorie decorating the centre of the crown; the name itself did not enter common usage until the early 19th century, subsequent to the popularity of Burns' poem.

But take your cue from the professionals — men can and do look great wearing necklaces. It just takes a little know-how. Necklaces & Men’s Style A necklace for a guy is a little bit different than one for a woman. For one thing, men are never going to wear anything that could be considered “costume jewelry” — the big, chunky stuff with rows of jewels that you’ll see accompanying evening gowns. That’s strictly a woman’s fashion. There’s also much less of an idea among designers that the jewelry should be the centerpiece of an outfit. Men’s jewelry is meant to complement, not to overwhelm. That means necklaces that are a little more rugged and rough around the edges. Good jewelry for men should look natural — like you’ve been wearing it for years, after it was given to you by your grandfather, who wore it for years before you." }, { "docid": "D2451846#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Hockey\nField hockey", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Field hockey A 2005 men's field hockey international game between Argentina and Pakistan Highest governing body International Hockey Federation First played 19th century, England Characteristics Contact Limited Team members 11 field players Type outdoor and indoor Equipment Hockey ball, hockey stick, mouthguard, shinguards Presence Olympic 1908, 1920, 1928–present Field hockey is a team sport of the hockey family.

[ 1] The game can be played on a grass field, turf field or synthetic field as well as an indoor board surface. Each team plays with eleven players, including the goalie. Players use sticks made out of wood, carbon fibre, fibre glass or a combination of carbon fibre and fibre glass in different quantities (with the higher carbon fibre stick being more expensive and less likely to break) to hit a round, hard, plastic ball. The length of the stick depends on the player's individual height. [ 2] Only one end of the stick is allowed to be used. Goalies often have a different kind of stick, however they can also use an ordinary field hockey stick. The specific goal-keeping sticks have another curve at the end of the stick, this is to give them more surface area to save the ball.

Jewelry designed for men is very different in style than women's jewelry. You won't find anything like fashion and costume jewelry in the wardrobes of most men, as this type of jewelry is tailored to women's style. Women's jewelry designs are often intended to be the centerpiece of an outfit, with an attempt to overwhelm. With men, jewelry is worn to lightly accent or compliment their style, rather than to overwhelm. Men's jewelry is usually more rugged and masculine than women's jewelry. Of course, some designs can be more delicate than others, but for the most part, men's jewelry should have an aged worn-in look, like it was handed down from your father's father. One of the most popular forms of jewelry worn by men today is the necklace.

Photograph: Howard Kingsnorth/Getty Max Mosley, the son of the fascist leader Sir Oswald, father of two, husband to Jean of 48 years and Formula 1 eminence grise, has a new role: unlikely poster boy for Britain's BDSM community. For the uninitiated, BDSM stands for 'Bondage, Discipline and Sadomasochism', a clumsy umbrella term for a vast range of sexual practices usually dismissed under the generic label 'kinky'. Its enthusiasts complain they are stigmatised by society to the point that some of their activities, while consensual, can see them sent to prison. Worse, according to many on the scene, is the way their activities, which usually feature the use of restraints, whips and role-play involving positions of power, are chronically misunderstood by wider society. Armchair psychologists dismiss BDSM as an unnatural, unhealthy desire for humiliation, while much of the general public regard its practitioners as perverts. But the high-profile reporting of Mosley's participation in a sadomasochistic orgy with five prostitutes in a Chelsea flat, with, according to the News of the World, a Nazi theme, has given the BDSM community the chance to come out of its dungeons.

The Western style of formal evening dress, characterized by black and white garments, has spread through many countries; it is almost always the standard formal social dress in countries without a formal national costume. A dress code is a set of rules governing a certain combination of clothing; some examples are black tie and morning dress. Formal dress is the grouping of all the dress codes which govern clothes worn to formal events. The traditional rules that govern men's formal dress are strictly observed; from these derive the evening dress variants worn on many occasions, such as high school prom dances, formal dances, and entertainment industry award programs. The dress code considered formal in the evening is white tie. In the UK, morning dress is standard formal day time clothing (a lounge suit being still considered informal dress ), but in the US/Canada morning dress is rare, having been replaced with the stroller and then the lounge, or business suit." }, { "docid": "D1128862#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-do-the-police-officers-wear-to-a-policemans-ball-What-do-the-women-officers-wear\nWhat do the police officers wear to a policeman's ball?

As for \"\"declaring war\"\" -- The Boston Tea Party was not quite a \"\"declaration of war\"\". In fact, it took place in December of 1773, 16 months before the Battles of Lexington and Concord. It is true that in the year following the Boston Tea Party the colonies made various preparations for possible war (part of what caused the British to eventually move against them). Why did they do so? Something the British Parliament called \"\"the Coercive Acts\"\" (the colonists called them \"\"the Intolerable Acts\"\"), that BEGAN by closing Boston Harbor and making various officials directly answerable to the Crown which never had been before. In the view of the colonists these actions (as well as the various taxes preceding them) violated their rights as Englishmen under their colonial charters and British constitution Their official reponse and explanation of these grievances is found in the \"\"Declaration and Resolves\"\" of the First Continental Congress (October 14, 1774).

For an outdoor, ski-themed wedding at a resort in Colorado, the bride and groom might wear black and white ski suits, with the guests wearing similarly warm clothing. A wedding at the ski lodge would probably dictate casual dresses for women and slacks for men. Similar attire would also be appropriate at a beach wedding. Guests can be guided by the specific destination and plan what to wear accordingly. Another rule guiding what to wear is the formality of the wedding, which includes the time and place.

The most obvious change is the cost – the social pressure of ‘face’ leads some families to spend up to the equivalent of ten year’s salary. Another obvious difference is the average age of the couple. In the past, a groom of 20 with an 18-year-old bride would be considered an ideal couple. Today, education, a degree of female emancipation, and the need to pursue a career have raised the figures by five or even ten years for middle-class city dwellers.

Afternoon Tea as a social event was introduced by English Royalty in the 1800’s. This formal “break” in their day soon became a very fashionable and social event. During the 1880’s, these high society women would wear gowns, gloves and especially hats for afternoon tea. This is a tradition that continues throughout the world today, though not as formal in many places. Common sense will tell you what type of dress to wear to your tea party. Whether it is an afternoon at a friends house or it is formal, informal, business, outdoor, or for a wedding/baby shower, it is always best to check with the host if your invitation does not specify. A formal tea, usually in a designated tea room, would be best suited for dressier clothes. A suit for men and a dressy suit or dress for women. It is not usually appropriate for any daytime tea to show cleavage or wear cocktail attire, or jeans and a t-shirt." }, { "docid": "D1465929#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/celestialrhythm/hora-loca/\nHora Loca", "text": "\"Hora Loca11 Pins 179 Followers Marriage reception The hours Wedding reception Wedding reception venues Carnivals Destination weddings Dyi Receptions Wedding Wedding decor Wedding details Wedding ideas Wedding stuff13th birthday15 years15th birthday16 birthday ideas50th Activities After hours Photo Booths Diy Photo Booth Christmas Photo Booth Props Wedding Photo Booth Props Christmas Photos Christmas Decor Christmas Ideas Free Printables Printable Designs Botanical Paper Works Free Printable Photo Booth Props- could use hat, bow ties, and mustaches for hollywood ending party See More Fiesta Neon Neon Lights Party Birthday Parties 13th Birthday Neon Birthday 16 Birthday Ideas Sweet 16 Hippie Party Sixteenth Birthdayblack light and neon!See More Ideas Para Fiestas, Game Ideas, Hawaiian Birthday, Willy Wonka, Birthday Ideas, Moana, Dyi, Wreaths, Ribbons See More Wedding Reception Reception Ideas Wedding Favors Wedding Cake Event Ideas Wedding Stuff Dream Wedding Wedding Goals Perfect Weddingcrazy hour idea, glow stick tube See More Wedding Planner Weeding Dyi Planners 15 Years Crazy Hats Carnivals Hat Patterns Hat Partyhora loca novio - Buscar con Google See More Jazz Wedding Wedding Reception Wedding Stuff Miami Wedding Photographer Wedding Confetti Wedding Details Coral Gables Party Hats Wedding Planning Confetti Cannons are just one of many unqiue ideas Avant Gardens can help you get for your wedding or special event.

Since that time was the Victorian era, and ladies were tight-lacing themselves right into punctured lungs, this provided an excuse for upper- and middle-class ladies to celebrate recreational and sartorial mobility, a dovetail of causes for the rational dress movement, and a perfect storm of social reform fought in the public opinion. It was a defining moment in late 19th-century aesthetics, and became instantly iconic in several sometimes-conflicting social arenas. Pop culture went wild for it. ( Still does; see Sue Perkins in a fetching ensemble in The Supersizers, Kate Beaton’s rakish velocipedestrienne, and Dracula ‘s attempts at bicycle suits, a sad trombone of costuming.) It also owes a debt to a movement from nearly 50 years earlier. The rational dress movement was born in the mid-Victorian years, on a platform of “We Love Pretty Fabric, but Perhaps Less Mutilation of the Ribcage Area.” In 1849, Water-Cure Journal published a piece outlining the degree to which the multiple-petticoat, long-waist corset trends currently going were distorting the body and causing health problems. “ Turkish costume” was promoted as a healthy fashion alternative; when American Amelia Bloomer publicly adopted it and included the pattern in her magazine The Lily, it took off, particularly in the States. ( Rational dress advocates, technically more concerned with the absence of corsets than the length of skirts, still became synonymous with any trend that lacked body-manglers. )" }, { "docid": "D2648433#0", "title": "http://www.clock.org/%7Echris/huh/t/_teadance.html\ntea dance", "text": "\"tea dance Origin: -Usage: expression Okay, normally I don't include explanations of terms that originate outside of the channel, but I've been getting questions on this. The evolution of tea dance to t-dance as they are used in the gay community touches on a number of aspects of gay culture and history. Historically, tea was served in the afternoon, either with snacks (\"\"low tea\"\") or with a full meal (\"\"high tea\"\" or \"\"meat tea\"\"). High Tea eventually moved earlier in the day, sometimes replacing the midday \"\"luncheon\"\" and settled around 11 o'clock, becoming the forerunner of what we know as \"\"brunch\"\". From the late 1800s to well into the pre-WWI era in both America and England, late afternoon (low) tea service became the highlight of society life. As dance crazes swept both countries, tea dances became increasingly popular as places where single women and their gentlemen friends could meet -- the singles scene of the age. While tea dances enjoyed a revival in America after the Great War, The Great Depression of the 30s wiped them out. Tea consumption was in steady decline in America anyways and by the 50s, tea was largely thought of as something \"\"your grandmother drinks\"\". Also, nightlife was moving later and younger.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's just say that, in general, Gonzalez advises that your look be planned with your date. “ In the context of proper attire, a date can totally throw off your outfit or make something questionable seem on-point.” All the components to help create a stunning look, right this way!Advertisement1 of 36The Invite Says: White Tie What The Expert Says: “A white-tie wedding is the most formal of dress codes, and if someone is bothering to make their wedding white tie, you can bet your bottom dollar they care if you get it right,\"\" says Gonzalez. \"\" Interestingly, white tie is more buttoned-up and conservative in general, so the subliminal message here is 'proper.'

This illustration was published in Hans Christian Andersens Fairy Tales around 1900For thousands of years they have occupied the world of fantasy, fairy tale and folklore. The half-human, half-fish creatures first appeared in ancient Assyria, now Syria, when the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame, having accidentally killed her human lover. In history the seductive creatures have been linked to perilous events in European, African and Asian culture, including floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. And they are associated with Greek mythology, Homer having referred to them as sirens - dangerous, yet beautiful creatures, who lured sailors to shipwreck. Hans Christian Andersen's well-known fairy tale The Little Mermaid, was transformed into a Disney classic and mermaids have also been depicted in operas, paintings, books, films and comics. But could the concept actually have been derived from a real medical condition? Sirenomelia, also known as 'Mermaid syndrome' is a life-threatening illness, marked by the rotation and fusion of a sufferer's legs. The rare congenital deformity causes what looks like a single limb, resembling a fish tail, in the womb.

Many people also use them to help filter the water from their display tank. Sump - a tank that is plumbed into your display tank whose purpose is to add water volume or a place to store your filtration hardware etc... Since the purpose of this article is to discuss how to use macro algae in each of these systems to help filter the water in a separate tank, (usually a display tank or a prop/frag tank), I will use them interchangeably. In most cases, if you have a separate tank plumbed into your aquarium system that is separate from your display and have installed a light over it, you have a refugium. Our Philosophy: You want both consistent nutrient uptake and pulse nutrient uptake macros and saltwater plants in your tank. Here is what I mean by those terms: (They use similar terminology in phycology by the idea is exactly the same)Consistent Macros- Macros that need nutrient at a high levels, all the time to thrive. They filter out nutrients quickly and are effective at dealing with established nutrient problems.

The first known mermaid stories originated in Assyria around the year 1000 B. C. According to legend, the Goddess Atargatis fell in love with a mortal man and accidentally killed him.

Answered Apr 7, 2016 · Author has 71 answers and 117k answer views The little Mermaid is a figment off the imagination of Hans Christian Andersen and as such it is just pretend. It has recently been adapted for the Little Mermaid movie. Usually when movies are made, especially for adults they are dumbed down. Most children's movies like the Lion King, Shrek, and Toy Story are I believe far more intelligently written, with more clever dialogue and interpersonal relationships then most adult movies. In terms of what the Little Mermaids eat in the Little Mermaid film it really doesn't matter. If they even bother to show a scene with the mermaids feeding it is going to be some visually attractive and politically correct food source. If movie producers were to show a feeding scene of dolphins I am confident that they would prefer to have the dolphins eating politically correct seaweed rather then nice healthy cute fish; but nice healthy cute fish is what they eat. Furthermore, adults are often scared to confront children with what they consider the more grubby aspects of reality, such as weeing and pooh-ing." }, { "docid": "D879494#0", "title": "http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Shirahoshi\nShirahoshi", "text": "\"Ahoy!

If you've seen or heard about the spectacular fountain show at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, World of Color is similar but larger, with more special effects and themed to Disney movies. World of Color incorporates clips from dozens of Disney films, and characters in its 22-minute performance. The show's backdrop includes Mickey's Fun Wheel, which was fitted with special lighting effects for use in the show. Giant projection surfaces sculpted by sprayed water—even larger than those used in Fantasmic!—display custom-made animations, and flamethrowers spew almost enough heat to dry off guests standing in the splash zones. What's most remarkable about the show is how the flashing colored lights and pulsating fountains combine to look like low-level fireworks. The effects are astounding, the colors are vibrant and deep, and and the music includes some beloved Disney songs. World of Color Dessert Party In Spring of 2016 a dessert party was introduced offering very good views, treats, and wine (for the over-21s).

Sheet metal workers make sure you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer by making, assembling or servicing the heating and cooling equipment in buildings. These tradesmen and women may specialize in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (also known as HVAC), or architectural, industrial and service sheet metal work. With HVAC work, workers fabricate and install fans and ducts or air handling units. Architectural sheet metal workers install panels and siding to protect and preserve a structure or building. Industrial sheet metal workers spend their days in paper or industrial mills working with heavier metals and welding or in commercial kitchens creating and installing countertops, vent hoods and handrails.

Novices with basic tools can put together a stall or run-in shed, even a shed-row barn or small stable. Still, assembling a barn kit is a long way from an afternoon of stacking up a few Lincoln Logs. Barn assembly, depending on size and type, might be a multi-person project that takes weeks of full-time work to complete. Some building elements are fairly heavy, requiring a person of moderate strength capable of manipulating awkward, 50-pound wood pieces. In some cases, a forklift or other lifting equipment might have to be rented in order to hoist heavy trusses. Like on-site, professionally constructed barns, made-to-assemble barns come in a variety of styles.

Used commonly in castles a roof turret normally forms part of a larger structure. Usually a turret has a round base, but can also be found with six or eight sided bases forming an angled tent or conical roof. While roof turrets are not always higher than the structure, they can contain staircases or rooms that you can simply walk into. Turrets can generally be described as a small tower, but can be any size or shape. A building with a turret may also have towers, but the general difference is that a turret projects from the edge of a structure unlike a tower that continues to the ground. Sizes of turrets can also be limited to the structural integrity of the supporting structure depending on its location. Turrets were commonly used to provide a defensive position to provide cover fire to adjacent walls. Recently roof turrets are more commonly used for decorative purposes and first appeared in England and most of Europe.

The siding material and style also can enhance or detract from the building's beauty. There is a wide and expanding variety of materials to side with, both natural and artificial, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Masonry walls as such do not require siding, but any wall can be sided. Walls that are internally framed, whether with wood, or steel I-beams, however, must always be sided. Most siding consists of pieces of weather-resistant material that are smaller than the wall they cover, to allow for expansion and contraction of the materials due to moisture and temperature changes. There are various styles of joining the pieces, from board and batton, where the butt joints between panels is covered with a thin strip (usually 1 to 2 inches wide) of wood, to a variety of clapboard, also called lap siding, in which planks are laid horizontally across the wall starting from the bottom, and building up, the board below overlapped by the board above it.

The 15 year variety, fortunately, has been pretty much eliminated since they seldom lasted even 10 years depending on the climate. Longer-life shingles between 30 and 40 years life expectancy are also available, but at this point you might want to look at steel or tile roofing. Ray The life of shingles that is stated on the package is contingent on following the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer, which can be different from one manufacturer to another. The main criteria is proper ventilation, underlayment and installation procedures. So make sure you read the manufactures instructions before you start, because if you don't follow their installation procedures your warranty will be void.

In the digestive tract, TAG is hydrolyzed by the enzyme pancreatic lipase, to release free fatty acids and monoglycerides. Emulsification and digestion The key issue in the digestion and absorption of fats is one of solubility: lipids are hydrophobic, and thus are poorly soluble in the aqueous environment of the digestive tract. The digestive enzyme, pancreatic lipase, is water soluble and can only work at the surface of fat globules. Digestion is greatly aided by emulsification , the breaking up of fat globules into much smaller emulsion droplets. Bile salts and phospholipids are amphipathic molecules that are present in the bile. Motility in the small intestine breaks fat globules apart into small droplets that are coated with bile salts and phospholipids, preventing the emulsion droplets from re-associating. The emulsion droplets are where digestion occurs. Emulsification greatly increases the surface area where water-soluble pancreatic lipase can work to digest TAG. Another factor that helps is colipase, an amphipathic protein that binds and anchors pancreatic lipase at the surface of the emulsion droplet." } ]	[ { "docid": "D757486#0", "title": "http://people.upei.ca/bate/html/notes_on_digestion.html\nDIGESTIVE PHYSIOLOGY", "text": "DIGESTIVE PHYSIOLOGYDigestive phases Functional anatomy Nutrients Carbohydrates Fibres Sugars Starches Glycogen Lipids Proteins Structure of proteins Overall digestive process Carbohydrate digestion Protein digestion Fat digestion3.

A series of thermosensitive triblock copolymers with different block lengths (PLGA–PEG–PLGA) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of d, l -lactide and glycolide with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the presence of stannous octoate. Compositions and molecular weight of triblock copolymers were characterized by 1 H NMR spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography, respectively. A single test-tube inverting method was employed to determine the sol–gel transition temperature. Lysozyme was used as a model protein. Lysozyme solution formulation was prepared with different triblock copolymers for in vitro release. Lysozyme concentration and its biological activity in the released sample were determined using a standard Micro BCA method and bacterial cell lysis method, respectively. The effects of varying block lengths and concentrations of copolymers on the in vitro release of lysozyme were evaluated. The release profiles from formulations showed a higher initial release followed by slower release up to 4 weeks.

After swallowing the triglycerides and phospholipids and cholesterols, the triglycerides and phospholipids are chemically digested by both lingual lipase from the mouth and pancreatic lipase. Remember also that along with the chemical cleaving of the covalent bonds holding these molecules together by the lipases, these molecules are also separated apart from each other by bile from the gall bladder and liver. This separation of molecules that would normally clump together in the watery environment of the intestine is called emulsification. After the lipase is done cleaving apart a triglyceride, some of the triglyceride is only cleaved twice, leaving two free fatty acid chains (tails) and the monoglyceride still intact. Some triglyceride is completed cleaved apart (hydrolysed) into three free fatty acids and glycerol. In either case, all these fragments are absorped into the absorptive cells of the small intestine by simple diffusion. At this point we need to define two new terms.

The functional morphology and physiology of the intestinal epithelium have evolved to selectively absorb essential nutrients as well as water and ions from the ingested food and water, while preventing entrance of harmful substances. Membrane-bound transport and channel proteins together with endocytotic mechanisms ensure a well-controlled uptake. Being a multifunctional tissue, there is a constant balance between the different physiological tasks of the intestinal epithelium, and both internal and external factors can affect and control these events that are of fundamental importance for development, growth, and performance of the fish.

The monomer molecules may be all alike, or they may represent two, three, or more different compounds. Usually at least 100 monomer molecules must be combined to make a product that has certain unique physical properties—such as elasticity, high tensile strength, or the ability to form fibres—that differentiate polymers from substances composed of smaller and simpler molecules; often, many thousands of monomer units are incorporated in a single molecule of a polymer. The formation of stable covalent chemical bonds between the monomers sets polymerization apart from other processes, such as crystallization, in which large numbers of molecules aggregate under the influence of weak intermolecular forces.

Monomer molecules and free-radical initiators are added to a water-based emulsion bath along with soaplike materials known as surfactants, or surface-acting agents.

Sanders II ‡+ Author Affiliations From the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 44106-4970Next Section Abstract In this contribution the kinetic mechanism and substrate specificity of Escherichia coli diacylglycerol kinase were examined. Steady state kinetic studies were carried out under mixed micellar conditions using a novel continuous coupled assay system. The kinetic data were consistent with a random equilibrium mechanism, implying that diacylglycerol kinase catalyzes direct phosphoryl transfer from Mg ATP to diacylglycerol. This was supported by failure to detect an enzyme-phosphate covalent intermediate and by the observation that the bisubstrate analog adenosine 5′-tetraphosphoryl-3- O - (1,2-dihexanoyl)- sn -glycerol inhibits the enzyme ( K i ≪ K m ,DAG ). While diacylglycerol kinase’s k cat / K m is modest compared with the efficiency of many water-soluble enzymes, the enzyme nevertheless appears to be an evolutionarily optimized biocatalyst in the sense that its chemical reaction rate approaches the substrate diffusion-controlled limit. The in vivo rate-limiting step of DAGK’s reaction appears to be, in part, the transbilayer diffusion of diacylglycerol from the outer leaflet to the inner leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane where DAGK’s active site is located. DAGK was observed to maintain a high nucleotide substrate specificity, with most of this specificity being expressed in the form of reductions in k cat for ATP analogs. Escherichia coli diacylglycerol kinase (DAGK) 1 represents a family of prokaryotic DAGKs that play an important role in microbial physiology under conditions of environmental stress ( 1-3 ). DAGK is also important because it plays a central technological role in the most commonly used assay for diacylglycerol in biological extracts ( 4 ). DAGK is structurally distinct from other kinases." }, { "docid": "D227799#0", "title": "http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/absorb_lipids.html\nAbsorption of Lipids", "text": "Digestive System > Small Intestine Absorption of Lipids The bulk of dietary lipid is neutral fat or triglyceride, composed of a glycerol backbone with each carbon linked to a fatty acid. Foodstuffs typically also contain phospholipids, sterols like cholesterol and many minor lipids, including fat-soluble vitamins. Finally, small intestinal contents contain lipids from sloughed epithelial cells and considerable cholesterol delivered in bile . In order for the triglyceride to be absorbed, two processes must occur: Large aggregates of dietary triglyceride, which are virtually insoluble in an aqueous environment, must be broken down physically and held in suspension - a process called emulsification. Triglyceride molecules must be enzymatically digested to yield monoglyceride and fatty acids, both of which can efficiently diffuse or be transported into the enterocyte The key players in these two transformations are bile acids and pancreatic lipase, both of which are mixed with chyme and act in the lumen of the small intestine. Bile acids are also necessary to solubilize other lipids, including cholesterol. Emulsification, Hydrolysis and Micelle Formation Bile acids play their first critical role in lipid assimilation by promoting emulsification. As derivatives of cholesterol, bile acids have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains (i.e. they are amphipathic). On exposure to a large aggregate of triglyceride, the hydrophobic portions of bile acids intercalate into the lipid, with the hydrophilic domains remaining at the surface. Such coating with bile acids aids in breakdown of large aggregates or droplets into smaller and smaller droplets." }, { "docid": "D622515#0", "title": "https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/digestion-absorption-1distinguish-digestive-tract-gastro-intestinal-tract-alimentary-canal-q12186771\nQuestion: Digestion and absorption: 1.Distinguish between the digestive tract (gastro-intestinal tract or a...", "text": "Question: Digestion and absorption: 1.

Follow 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The emulsifiers, mainly bile, act to break apart the fat globules in the small intestines and allow them to become more \"\"soluble\"\" for absorption. Since fat is hydrophobic, fat molecules will clump together into globules in the watery mixture in your digestive system. The emulsifiers break them down to smaller \"\"globules\"\" and allow them to become more soluble based on the polarity of the emulsifier (again mainly bile). Then your body can absorb it and process it for storage or energy.

Emulsification is the process of breaking up the fat droplets into smaller and smaller ones, thus exposing the surface area of the fats so that fat digesting enzymes (e.g. lipase) can get at them and break up the fat molecules so the fragments can be absorbed by the lining of the intestines. The emulsifying agents are a natural detergent molecule and do much the same job as the detergents used in washing up liquids - the main digestive emulsifying agent are bile salts, produced by the liver and secreted in bile into the intestines in response to fat being present in the intestines.

Michelle Obama made a concerted effort to lift up the fashion industry, wearing and subsequently boosting the businesses of many independent American designers. As the reality of a Trump presidency settles in, designers are now asking (or, more accurately, being asked by multiple outlets): What to do about Melania Trump? Sophie Theallet brought the conflict front and center when, on November 17, she posted a widely spread plea to fellow designers to take a stand against Trump, writing that \"\"the rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by [Melania's] husband's presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by.\"\" Since then, more designers–including Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, and Derek Lam–have come out against dressing Trump, while others–like Diane von Furstenberg, Thom Browne, and Tommy Hilfiger–have said they'd be happy to dress the future FLOTUS. Here, we round up 17 designers who have spoken out on where they stand. Zac Posen: Against Dressing Melania Getty Images\"\" [I have] no current plans to dress members of the first family. Right now, I'm staying away from bringing my brand into politics. There are issues that are being questioned that are fundamentally upsetting to me — deeply: LGBT rights, immigration, funding for the arts, Planned Parenthood, and women's rights.

Dressed in a figure hugging ivory sleeveless evening gown that was subtly draped at the waist, the “tallest first daughter”— as sections of the media branded her — displayed a confident, graceful stance on the red carpet. She towered over her relatively tall father who is 6’2’’. Ange is the second child and only daughter of President Kagame and she has three brothers: Ivan, Ian and Brian.

But when that woman is the daughter of a prominent African head of state and poses for a photograph with her father, US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle in the iconic Blue Room at the White House, the interest is certain to increase tenfold. That was what happened when a picture featuring Ange Ingabire Kagame, the 25-year-old daughter of Rwandan President Paul Kagame, was released to the world during the first-ever US-Africa Summit that ended on Wednesday.

In 2005, when Obama began serving in the U. S. Senate (and his daughters turned 4 and 7), he and his wife were earning a combined annual income of $479,062. Barack Obama was paid a salary of $162,100 by the U. S. taxpayers, and Michelle Obama was paid $316,962 to handle community affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center.

And once Michelle and I had our girls, she gave it her all to balance raising a family and pursuing a career--and something that could be very difficult on her, because I was gone a lot. “Once I was in the state legislature, I was teaching, I was practicing law, I'd be traveling,” he said. “ And we didn't have the luxury for her not to work." }, { "docid": "D1562157#0", "title": "https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/inauguration-suits-presidents-usa/\nInauguration & the Suits of the Presidents of the United States", "text": "Inauguration & the Suits of the Presidents of the United States January 20, 2017 / 60 Comments / in Clothing, Dinner Jacket - Tuxedo, Evening Wear, Gentlemen of Style, Morning Wear, Our Best Articles, Outfits, Savoir Vivre, Topcoats & Overcoats, White Tie, Winter/ by Sven Raphael Schneider Most Popular Right Now-100%How To Combine Shoes, Socks Pants PDF - Ebook$25.00 $0.00★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (28)Finest Socks In The World - Over The Calf in Black Silk$70.00★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (19)TOPCollar Bar Clip in Platinum Silver by Fort Belvedere$30.00★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (71)With the presidential inauguration taking place on Jan 20, 2017, we thought it was an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the suits and outfits worn by U. S. Presidents throughout history on their inaugural day. You will probably be surprised to see how the outfits developed over time. The very first was George Washington in 1789 in New York City wearing a morning coat with ruffled shirt, knee length trousers, matching waistcoat, over the calf silk hose and buckle shoes. George Washington in Morning Dress at the First Inauguration in NYC April 30, 1789Andrew Jackson wore a very different outfit with a black tailcoat, trousers, and vest, combined with a white starched shirt and big black bow tie. Andrew Jackson at the first Capitol inauguration in 1829 with tailcoat, high-cut waistcoat & black bow tie On the other hand, Lincoln wore a frock coat in 1865, which was an upcoming trend at the time. Lincoln in frock coat and black bow tie at his second inauguration in 1865Ulysses S. Grant wore once again a black tailcoat with a black bow tie, and for his ball, people were not allowed to wear overcoats, hats or canes, which must have been the exception to the rule back then. Inauguration Oath of Ulysses S. Grant in tailcoat and black bow tie with stiff cuffed shirt and cufflinks 1873Inauguration Ball on March 4, 1873, for Ulysses S. Grant Chester Arthur was one of the first presidents to adopt the stroller suit, but if you look closely, you will notice that his jacket had rounded quarters similar to a morning coat but much shorter in length. Chester Arthur Sep 20, 1881 in Stroller Suit with open quarters William Mc Kinley wore a double breasted frock coat with partial silk-faced lapels. Of course, during the speech he took off his top hat.

( Amy Sherald)The National Portrait Gallery has unveiled the official portraits of former president Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, both painted by African American artists, and both striking additions to the museum’s “America’s Presidents” exhibition. The 44th president is seen sitting on a wooden armchair that seems to be floating amid a scrim of dense foliage and flowers in an image by Kehinde Wiley. The first lady, painted against a robin’s egg blue background, rests her chin on one hand and stares at the viewer with a curious mix of confidence and vulnerability in a canvas by Amy Sherald. The artists, chosen by the Obamas, have combined traditional representation with elements that underscore the complexity of their subjects, and the historic fact of their political rise. And both painters have managed to create compelling likenesses without sacrificing key aspects of their signature styles. The Obamas took a significant chance on both artists and were rewarded with powerful images that will shake up the expectations and assumptions of visitors to the traditionally button-down presidential galleries. [ ‘ Pretty sharp,’ says Obama of his presidential portrait]Wiley, an established artist whose work is held by prominent museums worldwide, has produced a characteristically flat, almost polished surface, with intensely rich colors and a busy, sumptuous background that recalls his interest in historical portraiture. Sherald, who won the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever prize in 2016, has painted Michelle Obama’s face in the gray tones of an old black-and-white photograph, set against a preternaturally bright background, a technique she has used to introduce a heightened sense of the surreal in many of her works." }, { "docid": "D394737#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_Barack_Obama%27s_height_and_weight\nWhat is Barack Obama's height and weight?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States US Presidents Barack Obama What is Barack Obama's height and weight?

Melania Trump at the Republican National Convention Getty Images For her biggest primetime appearance to date, Mrs. Trump wore a form-fitting white dress with bell sleeves by Roksanda—the eponymous label of Serbian-born, London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic. The dress, which retails for around $1,500, broke convention in a number of ways—most notably that it was not designed by an American. ( Samantha Cameron, wife of former U. K Prime Minister David Cameron, is also a fan of the label.) The dress also strayed considerably from the staid styles usually favored by political wives; compare it, for instance, to the teal Maria Pinto shift dress which Michelle Obama wore at the 2008 DNC, which had a more traditional silhouette.

Migrant farm workers are predominantly Mexican-born sons, husbands, and fathers who leave what is familiar and comfortable with the hopes and dreams of making enough money to support their families back home; feed themselves; purchase land and a home; and – like many immigrants who came before them – ultimately return to their homeland. While others come from countries such as Jamaica, Haiti, Guatemala, Honduras, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and other states in the United States their aspirations remain the same. They are young, averaging about 31 years of age. Some arrive as single men, while others leave their families behind while they seek work and others travel and work with their families. For those who travel without their families, once they realize that they will need to maintain their U. S. earning capacity, they would much rather have their families settle with them in the U. S. More than half of all farm workers – 52 of every 100 – are unauthorized workers with no legal status in the United States. Many farm workers arrive with solid agricultural skills firmly grounded in practical experience and working knowledge of agriculture. This expertise is complemented by a strong work ethic, deeply rooted in their commitment to provide for their families or make it on their own. This is reflected in their willingness to make considerable sacrifices in order to guarantee a more prosperous future for their extended families, their children and/or their siblings. These sacrifices range from separation from their countries of origins, families, and what is familiar to learning to navigate a foreign land where little is known about them and whose customs, language, foods, and ways of life are different from what they know." }, { "docid": "D3515301#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070227072702AAlVA3f\nI need help with my paper!

However, a process of policy review that began in 2001 with a government commission's report on immigration and integration policy only recently overcame legislative gridlock. An immigration law based on the report's recommendations, prepared by the governing Social Democrat and Green coalition, passed both houses of the German Parliament and was subsequently signed by President Johannes Rau in March 2002. However, it was procedurally contested by the country's conservative coalition, which successfully filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court. Since then, government and opposition negotiators have been trying to reach a compromise. Only recently, after difficult, long-running negotiations, have the government and opposition agreed on an immigration law, which was passed by the lower and upper chambers in June/July 2004. The law will take effect on January 1, 2005, setting the stage for how Germany will deal with labor migration, newcomers, and resident migrants in the years to come.

This severed a trafficking route that started with an easy flight from Rio de Janeiro to Cancún and ended in a trek across the desert into southern Texas.

For the first time in its history, Ireland experienced a significant inflow of migrants — both workers and asylum seekers — from outside the European Union. Consequently, Ireland had to develop policies in a very short period of time. Three policy areas stand out. First, to slow a rising number of asylum applications, the government created a list of safe countries of origin and began prioritizing applications accordingly. Second, over the period 2003 to 2005, Ireland's citizenship laws were fundamentally changed to eliminate an Irish-born child's automatic right to citizenship when the parents are not Irish nationals. Third, with regard to labor immigration, Ireland moved away from its more liberal work permit system as it sought to meet most of its low-skilled labor needs from within the enlarged European Union. The key decision: Ireland, along with the United Kingdom and Sweden, agreed to allow citizens from the 10 countries that joined the European Union in May 2004 to work in the country immediately. This contributed to an acceleration in EU immigration flows, a large proportion of which came from Poland. Many nationals from new EU Member States have filled lower-skilled jobs than appropriate for their level of education." }, { "docid": "D358640#0", "title": "http://sielearning.tafensw.edu.au/MCS/9362/Sterilisation%20disk%203/lo/7371/7371_00.htm\n.", "text": "Reflect cultural awareness in work practice Reflect cultural awareness in work practice Contents Demonstrate awareness of culture as a factor in all human behaviour by using culturally appropriate work practices Use work practices that create a culturally and psychologically safe environment for all persons Review and modify work practices in consultation with people from diverse backgrounds People who identify with a particular culture have a lot of things in common, eg food, traditional costumes, music and so on.

The first are some facts and history that help explain why internal migration in post-World War II America was an important component of that economic expansion and likely to be as important in future growth. Some of this data has applications for future research into the role migration plays as a stimulus to and reaction of economic growth. The second is how studying this period of American migration could inform the academic literature on the probable effects of removing all or most of America’s immigration restrictions – an admittedly radical policy but one that should be understood. The facts and history surrounding the post-World War II boom are somewhat controversial. Some critics of immigration argue that post World War II economic growth occurred with relatively little immigration so therefore immigration is unnecessary for economic growth today. Those critics are mistaken for many reasons, but fundamentally they misunderstand the role that national migration played in feeding economic growth during the 1950s and 1960s. Ironically, economic growth at the 1950s and 1960s rate would be exceedingly difficult or impossible to achieve without immigration. The economic growth of the 1950s and 1960s with relatively closed borders can likely not be repeated today because there are fewer underutilized Southerners, Puerto Ricans, and women who could enter the workforce as substitutes for immigrants. Growth during that time was partly fueled by the great migrations (migration is internal movement, immigration is international movement) of Americans from much poorer parts of the country, namely the South and Puerto Rico, to wealthier locations." }, { "docid": "D1750357#0", "title": "http://michiganradio.org/post/making-150-hour-pick-blueberries\nMaking $1.50 an hour to pick blueberries", "text": "\"Making $1.50 an hour to pick blueberries By Emily Fox • Oct 7, 2013Tweet Share Google+ Email Chuck Grimmet / flickr This week I’m bringing you segments from my documentary, “Voices from the Fields,” a story of migrant workers in Michigan.

The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean nation that occupies roughly two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. The other half belongs to Haiti, and the two countries are divided by language, history, and race. That division has often been toughest on Dominicans who are of Haitian descent, which is the group of people who lost their citizenship in the ruling. The government later softened the decision to allow people with birth certificates to \"\"validate\"\" their citizenship, and those without them to register as foreign migrants, the deadline for which was last night at midnight. But because the Dominican government has for decades systematically refused to grant birth certificates to people of Haitian descent, thousands were never able to obtain validation. That means there are now fears of what human rights advocates have warned would be an act of ethnic cleansing: that people of Haitian descent who cannot prove their right to stay will be rounded up and forced to \"\"return\"\" to Haiti — a country where many of them have never lived. Although the country's president and foreign minister have promised there will be no mass roundups, the government has announced that it is readying buses and detention centers to gather and deport people of Haitian descent, and has placed 2,000 troops on standby to support the process.

The UN Convention on the Rights of Migrants defines a migrant worker as a \"\"person who is to be engaged, is engaged or has been engaged in a remunerated activity in a State of which he or she is not a national.\"\" From this a broader definition of migrants follows: \"\"The term 'migrant' in article 1.1 (a) should be understood as covering all cases where the decision to migrate is taken freely by the individual concerned, for reasons of 'personal convenience' and without intervention of an external compelling factor.\"\" 2 This definition indicates that migrant does not refer to refugees, displaced or others forced or compelled to leave their homes. Migrants are people who make choices about when to leave and where to go, even though these choices are sometimes extremely constrained. Indeed, some scholars make a distinction between voluntary and involuntary migration. While certain refugee movements face neither external obstacles to free movement nor is impelled by urgent needs and a lack of alternative means of satisfying them in the country of present residence, others may blend into the extreme of relocation entirely uncontrolled by the people on the move. The Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights has proposed that the following persons should be considered as migrants: (a) Persons who are outside the territory of the State of which their are nationals or citizens, are not subject to its legal protection and are in the territory of another State; (b) Persons who do not enjoy the general legal recognition of rights which is inherent in the granting by the host State of the status of refugee, naturalised person or of similar status; (c) Persons who do not enjoy either general legal protection of their fundamental rights by virtue of diplomatic agreements, visas or other agreements. 3 This broad definition of migrants reflects the current difficulty in distinguishing between migrants who leave their countries because of political persecution, conflicts, economic problems, environmental degradation or a combination of these reasons and those who do so in search of conditions of survival or well-being that does not exist in their place of origin." }, { "docid": "D2199115#0", "title": "http://bruegel.org/2017/01/the-economic-effects-of-migration/\nThe economic effects of migration", "text": "Blog Post The economic effects of migration What’s at stake: migration is currently a very hot topic in both the US and the EU. Immigration issues have come to the forefront due to the problem of rapidly ageing populations, the refugee crisis, and growing anti-immigration political rhetoric. But what do we know about the economic effects of migration? By: Silvia Merler Date: January 16, 2017 Topic: European Macroeconomics & Governance Jaumotte, Koloskova and Saxena at the IMF and Vox EU argue that migration, no matter how controversial politically (see figure 1), makes sense economically. In the long term, both high and low-skilled workers who migrate bring benefits to their new home countries by increasing income per person and living standards. High-skilled migrants bring diverse talent and expertise, while low-skilled migrants fill essential occupations for which natives are in short supply and allow natives to be employed at higher-skilled jobs. Gains are broadly shared by the population, so it may be well-worth shouldering the short-term costs to help integrate these new workers. Figure 1From Jaumotte et al. Clemens and Pritchett (2016) assess the new economic case for migration restriction. Migration economics has traditionally stressed the effects of migration restrictions on income distribution in the host country." }, { "docid": "D2596186#0", "title": "https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/modern-slavery-united-kingdom\nModern slavery in the United Kingdom", "text": "Modern slavery in the United Kingdom Gary Craig, Aline Gaus, Mick Wilkinson, Klara Skrivankova and Aidan Mc Quade26th Feb 2007 Related topics Immigration Migration Forced labour This is the first comprehensive review of the current extent of slavery in the UK and the different forms it takes, such as trafficking for sexual or domestic labour, forced labour or debt bondage.

In 1999, the country joined NATO, and, in 2004, the European Union (EU), along with a number of other former communist states. Like many other Eastern European countries, the Czech Republic has transformed in the last 15 years from a land of emigration to one of transit and immigration. Out of a total population of 10.2 million, 252,000 people (or 2.5 percent) in the Czech Republic in 2004 were legal immigrants. In 1993, this figure stood at just 0.8 percent. The number of illegal immigrants is estimated at 300,000 to 340,000. The capital city, Prague, other big cities, and areas near the borders have attracted the most migrants, causing the labor market to fragment into sectors dominated by natives and immigrants. Not surprisingly, the country is confronting a number of migration-related issues, including illegal migration, the need for high-skilled migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, discrimination against migrants, and trafficking. In addition, EU membership has made these issues more complex, especially since migration policies and practices are still developing.

The process of data mining can be helpful for preparing sales, putting together marketing or public relations campaigns, or assessing the purchasing habits of current customers. While the process of mining data has been around for decades, technology has made it much easier to provide these services in a fraction of the time once required. When preparing to take on tasks for clients, data mining companies normally assess the data that the customer already has in hand. This can include databases that contain client information, data on the current liabilities of the customer, invoicing and payment data as it relates to consumers, and even internal usage of office supplies. Depending on what type of project the client has in mind, various types of data may be required. At times, clients are surprised by the types of data that data mining companies may include in an analysis. This is because data that has no apparent connection with the project may yield some small amount of information that makes it easier to accurately apply other data included in the mining process. For example, a company that makes shoelaces may find that by including data about the days of the week when orders are placed, it is possible to determine the best date for launching a new sales campaign. Data mining companies work in a confidential environment." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3254942#0", "title": "http://www.mining.com/web/silver-miners-q116-fundamentals/\nSilver minersâ Q1â16 fundamentals", "text": "The world’s elite silver miners just finished reporting their operating results from 2016’s first quarter, and they were impressive.

Silver mining is a tough business geologically and economically. Primary silver deposits, those with enough silver to generate over half their revenues when mined, are quite rare. Most of the world’s silver ore formed alongside base metals or gold, and their value usually well outweighs silver’s. According to the just-released World Silver Survey 2016 by the venerable Silver Institute, silver largely remains a byproduct. Last year production from primary silver mines accounted for just 30% of the global mine supply. Well over 2/3rds of the 886.7m ounces of silver mined in 2015 was simply a byproduct from base-metals and gold mining!

For the first time this year, the survey includes information about compensation paid to mining company executives. As other people’s high salaries are always of interest, here are some that I cull from the report. The average salary (ten companies reporting) for the chairman of a major mining company was $1.1 million. In addition, this same average chairman received a bonus of $805K, was granted securities options worth $750K, shares worth $1.2 million, and “other compensation” worth $588K. Not a bad deal. Almost make you feel sorry for the average chairman of a junior mining company (nine reporting) who got a mere $219K salary, $88K bonus, securities option of $24K, and other compensation of only $98K. But then maybe chairmen of junior mining companies leave all the work to the CEO, for I see the average CEO of a junior mining company got a salary of $297K, and a reasonable bonus of $387K. Clearly it is better to be an executive in a major mining company. Consider these salaries: CEO = $1M; President = $866K; Vice-President = $378K; CFO = $431K; and COO = $418K. You have to admire the patience of the average Vice-President sitting around earning less than the other executives. If it is like the US White House, I presume there are power perks. Or maybe they do get their compensation by other means–I see the maximum “other compensation” paid to vice-presidents was $2.7M, whereas the president got a paltry $63K. There must be an interesting story behind this statistic? A similar strange ratio occurs for presidents and vice-presidents of junior mining companies: the average “other compensation” for presidents was only $90K, whereas vice-presidents got a whopping $213K. The salary ratio is a different story: presidents got a salary of $297K and vice-presidents a salary of $207K. One possibility is that, in practice, vice-presidents do the work compared to figure-head presidents, thus finally getting their reward via “other compensation.”" }, { "docid": "D2933627#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120722161947AAhr5K3\nHow to become an exploration geologist?", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology How to become an exploration geologist?

Anyone who pretends they are being responsible by not participating in finding and recovering mineral resources is either a hypocrite or naive. Since that same person is using a computer, they are obviously creating a market for copper, silver, aluminum, gold, europium, yttrium, gadolinium, manganese, arsenic, zinc, rare earth metals, silica, petroleum (plastic) and by using their computer are consuming coal, natural gas, uranium, rare earth metals used in wind generators, gallium, indium, iron, molybdenum, tellurium, selenium, phosphate, and lead which are all used in solar cells.

Uranium One has the mining rights to Mr. Christensen’s property. Matthew Staver for The New York Times The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World. ”The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain. But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one. At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.

The deal made Rosatom one of the world's largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain. But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one. At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family.

Anyone with children is familiar with talcum powder—that loose, white powder used to prevent diaper rash. But talc itself isn't just white. It can also be black, blue, brown, grey, pink, silver and violet. It all depends upon the talc's chemical composition, and what proportions of such elements as aluminum, iron, manganese and titanium may also be present. While talc may not have as many recreational uses as other white powders, we are much more likely to come across it in our everyday lives and to benefit from its use. In fact, talc is found in everything from animal feed to tires, and has been for millennia. As long as 15,000 years ago, cave dwellers used talc in their paints. For at least 5,000 years, it has been used in cosmetics, especially as a skin lightener, and 1,000 years ago, the Chinese began using it in their glazed pottery.

Over millions of years, bedbugs have evolved as nest parasites, inhabiting the nests of birds and the roosts of bats. Some of them have learned to adapt to the human environment.

Howler monkeys as the name suggests are known for their howling sound. They are basically around 90 cm long which includes their tail. They are either brown or black. Howler monkeys usually live in very small troops in forests found in South and Central America. As far as the question regarding their eating habits is concerned, then it should be noted that these howler monkeys mainly feed on fruits, leaves, and budding twigs. They are often seen eating leaves while hanging from the branches. Leaves are known for making nearly half of their diet. Other species of the New World Monkeys normally do not feed on leaves that much. Talking of the leaves, small and young leaves are something that these howler monkeys love just because of the fact that they are tender and are known for carrying much more nutrients." }, { "docid": "D2333431#0", "title": "https://marietta.edu/~biol/biomes/troprain.htm\nClimate:", "text": "\"The Tropical Rain Forest If you want to see more high-quality pictures of organisms from the temperate rainforest and other biomes, click here!If you want to know more about Marietta College's Biology and Environmental Science Program, click here!Climate: Warm and wet describes the tropical rain forest climate. The average annual temperature is above 20� C ; there is never a frost. Rainfall varies widely from a low of about 250cm of rain per year to about 450 cm/year . That means a range from about 8 to 14 feet of rain per year. World Distribution: As you can see from the map to the right, the tropical rainforests are, indeed, located in the tropics, a band around the equator from 23.5� N (the Tropic of Cancer) to 23.5� S (the Tropic of Capricorn) (red lines on map, right). Because the Earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis as it travels around the sun, at some point in the year (the solstices, June 22nd in the north, December 22nd in the south) the sun will be directly overhead on one of these lines. At the equinoxes the sun is directly over the equator. Within this band, solar radiation is most intense, and thus the surface of the planet warms the most. The warmth leads to a lot of evaporation, and as warm, moist air rises, it cools, the water condenses, and the water falls back to the earth as rain . Thus, the warmest areas of the planet also tend to be the wettest , and this sets the stage for the tropical rain forest." }, { "docid": "D1917171#0", "title": "http://www.activewild.com/african-animals-list/\nAfrican Animals List With Pictures & Facts.

If there’s one thing I am grateful for — and it sure isn’t the pay — it’s that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. As someone who slings red ink for a living, let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such it’s an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority complexes. But experience has also taught me that readers, for better or worse, will approach your work with a jaundiced eye and an itch to judge. While your grammar shouldn’t be a reflection of your creative powers or writing abilities, let’s face it — it usually is. Below are 20 common grammar mistakes I see routinely, not only in editorial queries and submissions, but in print: in HR manuals, blogs, magazines, newspapers, trade journals, and even best selling novels. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve made each of these mistakes a hundred times, and I know some of the best authors in history have lived to see these very toadstools appear in print. Let's hope you can learn from some of their more famous mistakes.

Part one will compare propane and natural gas. As with most products today, fire pits are available in a wide range of options and it is not always clear what differentiates them. Well, if we remove design from the equation for a moment and focus on the practical and functional side, probably the most important consideration when choosing a fire pit is ‘what makes the fire?’ Or, in other words, what kind of fuel does it burn? These days, fire pits come in four basic types: wood-burning, natural gas (NG), liquid propane (LPG), and ethanol (alcohol). Wood-burning, is of course, the original and is often quite simply, either an open pit or vessel that you can light a fire in it. Though beautiful, raw and authentic, wood-burning brings with it smoke, floating embers, and ash, which in some settings, translates into nuisance, pollution, mess and even danger. In most urban settings, wood-burning fire pits are not an option, not just for the sake of your neighbours, but due to restrictive by-laws.

KINIBIZ Economists are questioning the economic viability of building a bridge from Teluk Gong in Malacca with the port of Dumai in Sumatra across the Straits of Malacca, after it emerged that the plan which was first mooted in 1995, could be revived. “While there is no specific feasibility studies to reference, available data in terms of population size, economic capacity of the Indonesian people in the Dumai area and the prospect of substantial capital investment, makes the project’s viability quite questionable,” said RAM Holdings group chief economist Yeah Kim Leng. The project was first suggested in the mid-nineties, under then prime minister Dr Mathathir Mohamad, but shelved when the Asian Financial Crises hit. In the later years of the 2000s, the project came up every once in awhile; in 2006 and again in 2009 then Malacca chief minister Ali Rustam broached the subject, but again it never took off. It is estimated that the 48km plus bridge from Teluk Gong in Malacca to Pulau Rupat (the closest connecting point) will cost approximately RM44.3 billion, and at this length is will be the longest sea crossing in the world. From there, a 71.2km highway across Pulau Rupat will connect the bridge with the port city of Dumai. Yeah highlighted that funding the project will be a major issue, as either public or private investment will come with its own set of concerns. Although the Export-Import Bank of China (EXIM), have indicated in the past that it would be willing to invest substantially in the project, Yeah says that the are still long-term cost issues. He notes “even if the EXIM bank funded the project, there is the issue of repayment, which will be substantial … is there really a sufficient amount of traffic to be able to pay it off and at what rate (toll rate)? …" }, { "docid": "D3186959#0", "title": "https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/26pxti/natural_selection_and_purpose_of_life/\n.", "text": "22Natural selection and purpose of life ( self.philosophy)submitted 3 years ago * by rnet85Undoubtedly one of the most pertinent question in philosophy is why must man strive to survive and live, what is the purpose? I believe the question is moot and the reason for this conclusion can be found in the way natural selection works. Random mutations occur in every generation of all organisms, most of them are insignificant, some are harmful and some are incredibly beneficial depending on the environment and can give a significant edge in survival. Those with mutations which help in survival and reproduction have more offspring and those without the advantage are slowly phased out. A famous example is the peppered moth. Moths which had a mutation which resulted in their wing color to match the trees of their environment had a significant advantage, they survived predators, they reproduced more and eventually moths which did not have this advantage, which stood out were completely eradicated by birds and other predators, leaving only the moths with the mutation. Likewise an organism which has a mutation which gives it an initiative to survive has an advantage over an organism which does not have this mutation. To make this idea simpler consider two people with two different subtle mutations in genes related to their brain structure, the first person’s mutation makes him an analytical genius, but he has no initiative to survive, he cannot tell when his life is in danger, as danger makes no sense, and takes no steps to avoid danger. The second person has a mutation which makes him more careful, makes him want to avoid situations which endanger his life, his mutation may not make him extremely smart but it does give him an instinct to survive. The second person has a higher survival rate, a higher probability of having offspring who will carry his mutation." }, { "docid": "D2085128#0", "title": "http://www.rotlaw.com/legal-library/what-does-it-mean-when-a-law-is-void-for-vagueness-or-overbroad/\nWhat does it mean when a law is âvoid for vaguenessâ or âoverbroadâ?", "text": "\"What does it mean when a law is “void for vagueness” or “overbroad”?

Moringa oleifera tree has been considered as one of the most nutritious plants ever discovered with most of its benefits concentrated in its small green leaves. As is evident from its name, moringa powder is made from the freshly harvested leaves of the moringa oleifera tree. Fresh moringa leaf powder is deep green in color and has a rich nutty smell. This powder is prepared by drying the moringa leaves at low temperature such that the plant tissue reaches a fine powdered consistency. The powder is then screened to remove impurities and then made into capsules and sealed in bags. The most amazing part is that once packed, this powder remains fresh for several months, retaining its nutritional value of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, chlorophyll and complete amino-acids. The reason why dried leaf powder is preferred over fresh leaves is that it is more nutritious and in some cases, contains even ten times more specific nutrients in comparison to fresh moringa leaves. Moreover, it is comparable to all the common fruits and vegetables in terms of its nutritional value. Being pure and organic, this soft and fluffy powder has no side effects and is easy to store and use." }, { "docid": "D975153#0", "title": "https://www.ahealthyleaf.com/info-and-news/how-fast-does-moringa-grow/\nHow Fast Does Moringa Grow?", "text": "Posted on January 23, 2016How Fast Does Moringa Grow?

We harvest these trees every few months when they reach a height of approximately five feet. Moringa trees are second in the world only to bamboo in their speed of growth, and cutting the trees back stimulates a vigorous return of plant tissue and increased leaf production. We remove the harvested leaves from their branches and sterilize them using environmentally safe ozone water. The remaining branches are composted and recycled back into the Moringa plantation. After the leaves are cleaned, they are dried at low temperatures, which ensures that the vital nutrients, some of which are heat sensitive, remain preserved in the fresh leaf tissue." }, { "docid": "D2415574#0", "title": "http://www.moringamatters.com/how_to_add_moringa_to_your_diet.html\n.", "text": "\"Hundreds of people have asked us how they can add the wonderful bounty of the Moringa Tree, to their everyday fare.

Since its first feature on the world’s most famous TV Doctor’s show, supplement manufacturers have been crawling out of the woodwork to create their ‘version’ of moringa oleifera, with wild claims as to its actual benefits. As each new company bursts into the market with their own ‘proprietary formula’, it becomes harder to separate fact from fiction, premium product from worthless imitation. We decided it was time to analyze them ourselves to find out which products were sub-par, which were flat-out lying about what was even in their pills, and which, if any, might actually be worth a try. As we rounded up all of the big brands in the industry, we could see straight off the bat which companies were only there to make a quick buck. Most moringa oleifera extracts do not contain what’s actually on the label.

The ball-like bromeliads that you see attaching itself to the bark and branches of your trees is often called bark moss, but more appropriately, it is called ball moss (Tillandsia recurvata) and like Spanish moss, it is not a fungicide. On the other hand, the green moss that grows on bark is a fungicide and it uses the tree’s nutrients and water, causing possible harm to the tree. Whatever the type of moss you have, you can use baking soda to kill it without worrying about harming your tree in the process. Soak the moss with water about 2 to 3 hours before you use the baking soda. This will help the moss absorb the baking soda. Mix ½ pound of baking soda to every gallon of water. You can also add a surfactant, such as a horticulture oil like Sun Spray UFP. Surfactants will help the mixture adhere to the moss’s surface. Follow the dosing instructions on the label since each type of surfactant is different." }, { "docid": "D1963767#0", "title": "http://www.fallcreeknursery.com/home-gardeners/how-to-grow\nHow to Grow Blueberries", "text": "Blueberries bring a unique combination of delicious fruit and striking, year round ornamental beauty to the garden and landscape.

It's best to locate your blueberry plants in an area where irrigation is readily available as best results will be achieved by keeping the root zone moist throughout the growing season. Where the soil is not ideal or marginally-drained, raised beds are an excellent option. Blueberries also do well in patio containers and offer a great way for apartment and condo dwellers and those with little or no yard to enjoy blueberries. Blueberries prefer acidic soils.

It may only be 5-8 weeks from the time nest construction begins until the maturing birds leave home, but observing hummingbird nests can be a rewarding and enchanting experience for birders. Where to Find Nests Hummingbirds choose safe, sheltered locations for their nests, ensuring that their hatchlings are protected from sun, wind, rain or predators. The most common nest locations are in the forked branch of a tree, along thin plant branches or sheltered in bushes. Thicket-like areas or thorny bushes are especially preferred for the extra protection they provide. Hummingbirds are resourceful, however, and may build nests in unique locations including such crazy nesting spots as: Balanced on thin wires or clotheslines, even on strands of holiday lights Inside porch lamps or on top of lamp or outdoor security camera fixtures On the top of wind chimes, statues or other garden decorations Inside a playing net, such as a basketball net or soccer goal net At the top of a cactus where the nest is protected by spines On top of small pipes, ceiling sprinkler fixtures or other outdoor structures When choosing a nest location, the female bird may land on it repeatedly to test the stability of the perch that, if chosen, must support her weight as well as the weight of the nest and her growing chicks. Because hummingbirds weigh so little, nearly any perch can be suitable as a nesting site. The height of the nest varies greatly depending on the hummingbird species and what suitable nesting locations are available. Hummingbirds typically build their nests from 3-60 feet above the ground, and the nest may be located up to a half mile away from preferred food sources if no closer sites are suitable. Hummingbird Nest Construction Hummingbird nests are built entirely by the female bird – male hummingbirds do not have any part in raising chicks once mating is complete." }, { "docid": "D1837759#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/scientific-name-spanish-moss-76052.html\nDoes Spanish Moss Bloom?", "text": "\"Related Articles Where Does Spanish Moss Come From?

Beautiful evergreen leaves, snow-white blossoms, intoxicating fragrance and the ability to withstand the Southern summer heat. What more could you ask for? Gardenias can bloom as early as spring and will continue to produce flowers throughout the summer and into fall. With showy blooms that open white and then fade to gold, gardenias are versatile as single shrubs, hedges, or container gardens. Gardenias demand to be treated right, however, so here are a few tips to help keep your Southern beauty happy and healthy. How to Plant The best times to plant gardenias are fall and spring when temperatures are moderate. Like camellias, gardenias like to be planted a little high.

However, if you are planning on introducing a nice mass of colour to your flower bed or border, then a trench, or a large irregular hole in the shape of the colour mass you envision, is a better idea. Condition the Soil: Now that the holes/trench has been dug, what is the soil like? Is it so wet that a clump of soil balled up in your hand stays in a clump when you open your hand? If so, it's too wet to plant the same day you did the digging. Dig all your holes/trenches and let them sit for a couple of days until the soil dries out a bit. If necessary, dig the holes a bit deeper, and mix a bit or sand or gravel with the soil at the bottom, so that it drains better.

Sexual Propagation : Seed formation takes place only after pollination. After fertilization, seeds are formed. Seeds when sown give rise to new plants. Some bisexual flowers are self sterile, that is, pollens from a flower, when deposited on the female part of the same flower will fail to fertilize it. In some bisexual flowers like Salvia, pollens and female parts from the same flower mature at different time to prevent self- pollination. For artificial pollination for cross breeding purpose pollens from a mature flower are collected and deposited on the receptive stigma (female organ) of another flower. This process can give rise to hybrid plants. Assexual Propagation : This process is also called as vegetative propagation.

It is a strong flier, dispersing widely and can be found virtually anywhere in the hemisphere in the summer. However it rarely survives the winter in northern latitudes (e.g. north of the Alps in Europe, north of the Caucasus in Russia). They have been spotted in Newfoundland, Canada and Malaysia [1] as well as southeast Texas, Southern California, and Northern Utah. There have also been reported sightings during the winter in Ireland. Moths in the Hemaris genus of the family Sphingidae are known as \"\"hummingbird moths\"\" in the US, and \"\"bee moths\"\" in Europe, which sometimes causes confusion between this species and the North American genus. Life cycle [ edit]Two or more broods are produced each year. The adult may be encountered at any time of the year, especially in the south of the range, where there may be three or four broods. It overwinters as an adult in a crevice among rocks, trees, and buildings.

Moths mean intuition As we found in what moths commonly symbolise, their behaviors have proved difficult for scientists to explain in reason.

This brilliant blue butterfly can be found in the rain forests of South America (Brazil & Guyana). Butterflies have fascinated humankind for millennia, and have been interpreted in a variety of ways, from omens of love to personifications of the soul. Yet, the delicate beauty of iridescent butterfly wings belies their intricate structure and functionality as the perfect foil for predators. Structural colors are created by an optical effect (such as interference, refraction, or diffraction) rather than by a pigment. They arise from the arrangement of physical structures interacting with light to produce a particular color. Structural color is responsible for the colors of the feathers of many birds (including the blue jay, hummingbirds and pheasants), as well as certain butterfly wings and beetle shells. Variations in the spacing of the pattern often gives rise to an iridescent effect, as seen in peacock feathers, soap bubbles, films of oil, and mother-of-pearl, because the reflected color depends upon the angle of view.

These lifters are designed to be set at lash (clearance) and are to be used on camshafts that are designed for a lash setting. They require periodic adjustment and are normally used for higher rpm. “Hydraulic lifters are designed to run with no lash and have a moveable pushrod seat controlled by engine oil, hence the term ‘hydraulic’. They are normally adjusted to a preload (from zero lash) setting and use a camshaft designed for a ‘no lash’ situation. They are basically a ‘set and forget’ lifter because of the preload-type adjustment and are normally used up to 6,500 rpm. ”Flat tappets (what many people might consider the “normal” lifter), both hydraulic and mechanical, have a flat face that rides against the cam. “ In reality the face has a slight crown (convex) to help the lifter spin or rotate when the cam lobe moves past it,” says Reynolds." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1051617#0", "title": "http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-hydrollerlifter-8695.html\nFord Performance Hydraulic Roller Lifter Kit (86-95 5.0L)", "text": "Home 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustang Engine Parts 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustang Cylinder Heads & Valvetrain Components Ford Performance Hydraulic Roller Lifter Kit (86-95 5.0L)Ford Performance Hydraulic Roller Lifter Kit (86-95 5.0L)16 Reviews 2 Answers Market Price $137.99 You Save 13% ($18.00)Starting At$119.99FREE Shipping Item 24072MPN# M-6500-R302Local Install Shops Quoted installation from $125View 3 Shopsnear 19355 (change)Update Will this fit your Mustang?

Most flat tappet lifters resemble a cylinder of steel with an internal snap ring on one end holding in a pushrod cup. Flat tappet cam/lifter valve trains were the primary form of valve actuation for domestic engines from the early '50s until about the mid-'80s.

If an AFM lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck, a consistent valvetrain tick noise, SES light and DTC P0300 will be experienced with engine misfires on cylinder 1, 4, 6 or 7. If this concern is experienced, perform SI diagnosis. If SI does not isolate the cause of this concern, perform the following tests:* Cylinder deactivation (Active Fuel Management) system compression test in SI. If the running compression of the misfiring cylinder stays below 25 psi regardless of the AFM solenoid being commanded on or off, the AFM lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck or unlocking as soon as the engine is started. * Cylinder deactivation (AFM) valve lifter oil manifold diagnosis and testing in SI. If the test above isolated a possible AFM lifter concern, it will lead to this test, which tests the VLOM (Valve Lifter Oil Manifold) for proper operation.

I get asked all the time what parts interchange between different motors so here is what I currently know: There are three basic types of 4 cylinder piston motors that Mazda currently produces for the US market. They are grouped into engine families, ‘B’, ‘F’, and ‘G’. The Miata uses the ‘B’ family of motors. The ‘B’ family starts with a 1.3 liter SOHC. It was primarily used oversees but did come to the USA for a short stint in the Ford Festiva (other markets got a DOHC 1.3). The primary example of the early ‘B’ motors in the USA came here in the GLC as a 1.5 liter SOHC, later upped to 1.6 liters for the 323 in the mid 80’s (78x83.6mm). The 1.6 liter version has as large a bore as the block can accommodate and cannot really have it's displacement increased much more, in fact, enlarging the bore beyond +1mm is not advised. A DOHC head was designed for the 1.6 liter for the 1988 323 GTX turbo. Because of the severe duty that motor could see many enhancements were made to it for reliability reasons." }, { "docid": "D977481#0", "title": "http://www.schwarzenegger.com/fitness/post/5-tips-for-bigger-biceps\n5 Tips for Bigger Biceps", "text": "\"02/27/20135 Tips for Bigger Biceps By Nick Tumminello Here’s your step-by-step guide through 5 battle-tested biceps workout tips and training strategies we've used with athletes and bodybuilders to help them pump up their arms and build bigger biceps.1. Mix up your Force Angles to target the Biceps Peak We all know that using a variety of exercises helps make our arm workouts (and all other weight training workouts for that matter) more versatile and more effective. But, it’s important to understand that simply changing the exercises doesn’t always mean you’re hitting your biceps in a different way. You see, to thoroughly hit your biceps (or any other muscle group you’re training) you need to mix up the force angles, which changes the point of exercise (within the range of motion) where the muscle (s) is being maximally loaded, within a given workout. Many lifters are under the impression that each time you change the exercise you’re changing the force angle. But this is not so, as many biceps curl exercises may look different - Example: Barbell biceps curls, EZ-bar curls and dumbbell biceps curls – but they may create the same force angle, which, therefore, hits your biceps in basically the same way. Here’s a quick lesson on Biomechanics to help you better understand force angles: All exercises that involve free weights and cables have a point within the range of motion (ROM) where the exercise is hardest on the muscle (s) involved, and where the exercise is the easiest. The point at which the exercise is most difficult is where the lever arm becomes the longest, which makes the muscles involved work the hardest. During any style of biceps curl with a free weight (dumbbell, barbell or EZ-bar) the point at which your biceps is being maximally loaded (stimulated) is the point in the ROM in which your forearm is at a 90-degree angle with the load vector, which in the case of free-weights, gravity is your load vector. In other words, when using free weights the point of maximal loading on your biceps (during a biceps curl) is when your elbow reaches 90 degrees of flexion or when your forearm is parallel to the floor." }, { "docid": "D1737667#0", "title": "http://www.enginebuildermag.com/2010/02/spring-sprang-sprung-why-valve-springs-matter-so-much/\nSpring, Sprang, Sprung: Why Valve Springs Matter So Much", "text": "Features Feb 1, 2010 12:00 am Spring, Sprang, Sprung: Why Valve Springs Matter So Much Share Tweet Print Email Dave Monyhan, author View bio Keep in mind the cam, pushrods, lifters, and rocker arms do all the work in opening the valves, but it is the spring that keeps that valve closed during the operation of the engine. Valve springs can be compressed and expanded throughout their life cycle, sometimes at more than 1,150 times per minute for most high-performance engines. Over its life a valve spring could be compressed millions, billions, or even a trillion or more times. Kind of like our national debt. The valve spring also pushes back against all the other parts like the rocker arm, pushrod and lifter to maintain pressure on the cam lobe. Without valve springs, performance engines (or any engine for that matter) simply won’t work. Some may argue this point, since research is going on to completely eliminate the valves and install solenoids, but we can discuss that in the future. Valve springs come in a variety of sizes and configurations. Some are single with dampeners, others incorporate an inner spring and become a double spring and then there are the extreme or the triple springs. Straight or beehive springs are also another choice." }, { "docid": "D1860408#0", "title": "http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/general-q/6135-upgrading-1-6-ratio-rocker-arms-sbc.html\nUpgrading to 1.6 ratio rocker arms on a SBC", "text": "\"0Likes Upgrading to 1.6 ratio rocker arms on a SBCThread Tools Display Modes01-15-2002, 06:00 AM # 1imq707s Guest Posts: n/a Upgrading to 1.6 ratio rocker arms on a SBCI've got a Jasper Marine sbc 350 in my 21' scarab.

Inside the crankcase, where the oil lives, varnish and tar build up on the surfaces of the pistons, rings, lifters and in the oil galleys that supply the oil to all the components. This lowers the engine’s ability to cool and lubricate itself, reducing the efficiency, performance, and life of the engine. The same build up occurs inside the fuel system as well, clogging the injectors or carburetor jets, gumming up the intake valves and on the tops of the pistons too. If the valves don’t move freely, then your engine’s breathing is greatly hampered. Carbon deposits on the pistons and valves can lead to hot spots which cause detonation, which lowers your engine’s performance. The trick is how do you clean?

Traditional Chevy vs. Ford vs. Mopar guys can bicker all they want about the old-school engines, but no sane person can say that the LS does not have the most power potential of any engine out there, especially on a cost-per-horsepower basis. But as good as the factory hardware is, it can always be made better with some good old fashioned hot rodding ingenuity, and when you want to start making truly stupid power with one, like up into the 1,000 horsepower range and beyond, you need to look to an aftermarket block to withstand the stress. Some time ago we did a story on the various aftermarket LS engine blocks, but as time goes by, engineers refine and improve their designs, so we thought it would be good to refresh readers on what’s out there in the way of aftermarket LS blocks. We went back to the well and included the pieces from Dart Machinery, Bill Mitchell and World Products (which used to be one company but are now two separate entities), Racing Head Service (RHS), ERL Performance, and of course GM Performance Parts, which underwent a brand change to Chevrolet Performance. Regardless of which block you choose, each of them have huge advantages over stock blocks, and a few can handle well over 2,000 horsepower. If you’re wanting to build more power than that, you need to start looking into buying HEMI parts and drums of nitro-methane!Dart Machinery – LS Next Richard Maskin and Dart have been at the forefront of the hardcore racing and high-end street performance scenes for decades, including during the glory days of NHRA Pro Stock in the ’70s and later, alongside the likes of Jenkins, Dyno Don, Bill Glidden, as well as the big stages of circle track racing like Indy and World of Outlaws sprint cars. This hardcore racing bent has evolved into a huge line of performance engine parts for both racing and the street use (at roughly 15,000+ sold per year, they are the largest producer of engine blocks in the aftermarket), and when it comes to blocks they’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t. They apply this to every Dart block, especially their new LS parts. Far removed from most people who fawn over GM for the design of the LS, Maskin said that in his 50+ years of working on engines, “The LS is the most pathetic engine I’ve ever worked on.”" }, { "docid": "D1982666#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/vehicles/action-required-vehicle-motor-throws-rod-2e3f6c81c5a7b777\nWhat Action Is Required When a Vehicle Motor Throws a Rod?", "text": "Vehicles Car Parts & Maintenance Engine Q: What Action Is Required When a Vehicle Motor Throws a Rod?

However, there is an incredible amount of conflicting research and opinion on whether an athlete should use this piece of equipment, when they should use it, or if they should avoid it altogether. Belts stabilize and reduce stress on the spine The most commonly agreed upon (and truthfully, only agreed upon) benefit to wearing a weight belt is that they increase intra-abdominal pressure. Intra-abdominal pressure is the pressure within your abdomen—think about a balloon inflating inside your abs and you’ll get the picture. As Jim Stoppani notes on Bodybuilding.com, when you increase intra-abdominal pressure (as weightlifting belts do), the pressure inside the abdominal cavity pushes on the spine to support it internally, while your core muscles (such as your obliques and abs) and lower back push on the spine from the outside. Your body responds to the increased intra-abdominal pressure delivered by a weightlifting belt by creating a more rigid core, stabilizing your spine and reducing the stress it receives when under heavy loads. There are a number of studies that show how belts affect the amount of intra-abdominal pressure the wearer may experience during exercise. One such study, published in Clinical Biomechanics in 1999, “evaluated the effects of abdominal belts on lifting performance, muscle activation, intra-abdominal pressure and intra-muscular pressure of the erector spinae muscles”. Now, these factors were measured simultaneously during the Valsalva maneuver—performed by holding your breath while straining or exerting force, as you would do in a squat—as well as during isometric “lifting exertions” (isometric exercises are a type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction). As such, one needs to be wary when looking at the results as they may not relate to eccentric/concentric movements—such as the back squat and deadlift." }, { "docid": "D3344851#0", "title": "http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/valve-train-noise-53876.html\nValve Train Noise!!!!", "text": "# 1 ( permalink) 12-10-2004, 09:34 PMMontego MXNew Member Join Date: Nov 2004Location: Seaside, California Age: 37Posts: 23Wiki Edits: 0Thanks: 0Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Montego MX's Photo Album Valve Train Noise!!! !

In the figure to the right, two motor units are illustrated diagrammatically. Notice that after an efferent axon enters the muscle, it branches and forms synapses with a number of muscle fibers. However, there is no overlap in the innervation of the muscle fibers by different efferent neurons. Each individual muscle fiber is connected to only one efferent neuron. The figure, however, is quite diagrammatic. There are many more efferent neurons innervating a muscle and many more muscle fibers in one motor unit. For example, a large muscle used for powerful movements, such as the gastrocnemius in the calf, is controlled by hundreds of efferent neurons. Moreover, each efferent neuron innervates hundreds, or even thousands, of individual muscle fibers.

Making a Voluntary Movement A muscle fibre is the result of the fusion of numerous muscle cells in the course of their development. This process, called syncytium, explains why a single muscle fibre may contain several hundred nuclei. These nuclei are located at the periphery of the cytoplasm, just beneath the sarcolemma (cell membrane). The finer the motor control that an organ requires, the smaller the motor units that control it. For example, in the muscles of the eye, one motor neuron may trigger the contraction of fewer than 10 muscle fibres. In the larynx, one motor neuron controls only two or three muscle fibres. In contrast, the motor units in the calf muscle (the gastrocnemius) consist of 1000 to 2000 muscle fibres distributed throughout this muscle. The response of any one motor unit is an all-or-nothing event, but the strength of the response of the muscle as a whole is proportional to the number of motor units activated.

Speaking of the class, the context is I had two students who are primarily retailers (own 3 stores) who want to develop their own in-house sewing unit. One partner does a bit of sewing with home machines but is intimidated by industrials. To reduce the intimidation factor, I trained them on my three servo machines: Durkopp Adler Lockstitch model 271-140342 (basic sewing machine) Juki DLN 9010 SH Needle feed Reliable 3/5 thread overlock model 3316N GG740HThat reminds me, you may ask what is a servo? Servos are relatively new being one of two types of motors used on industrial machines. The other kind you may be more familiar with is a clutch motor. Clutch motors are noisy (I like the sound); servos are completely silent, as quiet or more than a home machine even at top speed. Stuart wrote a review of a servo motor. Industrial machines are set up differently from home machines. With the latter, the motor is built into the machine head itself." }, { "docid": "D1503157#0", "title": "https://cathe.com/strength-training-how-long-does-it-take-to-see-results\nStrength Training: How Long Does It Take to See Results?", "text": "Strength Training: How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Strength Gains Happen More Quickly Than Gains in Muscle Mass It can take six weeks or more to see changes in muscle size. On the other hand, strength gains happen more quickly. Despite the fact that your muscles don’t increase in size during the first few weeks of strength training, they become do become stronger.

Since the human body contains, on average, 250,000,000 muscle cells and approximately 420,000 motor neurons, a motor unit will generally consist of a single motor neuron paired with many muscle fibers. In strength training, the early strength gains seen by novices are often not gains in size or number of muscle fibers, but activation of motor units that had been previously dormant. The motor neuron is a specialized type of nervous cell that runs between the central nervous system and the muscles. Neurons typically consist of a cell body — the axon — and the dendrites. If a neuron were to be seen as a tree, the axon would be analogous to the trunk and the dendrites to the branches. Neurons found within the brain normally have relatively short axons, but neurons that are part of a motor unit — because they must connect to the muscles of the body — have elongated axons that run through the spinal cord, and out to the associated muscle fibers. Each muscle fiber is connected to a particular dendrite, and it is through the dendrites that messages are relayed between the central nervous system and the muscle fiber. Ad Muscle fibers are elongated cells, specialized to carry out the functions of the specific muscles of which they are a part. This is true of the cardiac muscles of the heart, the smooth muscles that make up the lining of many internal organs, and skeletal muscles." }, { "docid": "D2326005#0", "title": "http://depts.gpc.edu/~decms/ibim/nervoussystem2.htm\n.", "text": "THE NERVOUS SYSTEMAll organisms are endowed the ability to control their environments (external and internal environments).

Because of the similarity of the terms and the fact that many people use them almost interchangeably, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion among consumers as to what the difference is between a generator, an inverter and an inverter generator. And once you know what the difference is, which one is better? We’ll try to provide succinct, informative answers to these questions here, so read on!Generators Conventional generators have been around for quite a while, and the basic concept behind them has remained essentially unchanged. They consist of an energy source, usually a fossil fuel such as diesel, propane or gasoline, which powers a motor attached to an alternator that produces electricity. The motor must run at a constant speed (usually 3600 rpm) to produce the standard current that most household uses require (in the U. S., typically 120 Volts AC @ 60 Hertz). If the engine’s rpm fluctuates, so will the frequency (Hertz) of electrical output. Inverters A traditional inverter draws power from a fixed DC source (typically a comparatively fixed source like a car battery or a solar panel), and uses electronic circuitry to “invert” the DC power into the AC power. The converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate equipment, but for consumer-level applications in the U. S., the most common combination is probably taking the 12V DC power from car, boat or RV batteries and making it into the 120V AC power required for most everyday uses.

This mixture is then poured into the desired location or into molds and left to harden. Once the concrete is hardened it creates a very strong, and stable structure that can be permanent. Concrete is an important aspect of modern society as is it used to create foundations for homes and buildings, sidewalks or driveways, entryways, and outdoor sporting arenas. While these are very common uses on the professional front, many homeowners use concrete to create walkways, counter tops, or patios. Paving stones can be personalized to line your garden. Stone memorabilia can include hand prints and foot prints of grandchildren, artwork or designs that can be painted and other craft projects. Without concrete we would not be able to build many of the structures and foundations found today.

The axon terminal widens out to form the 'synaptic end bulb', which contains vesicles of acetylcholine. The nerve impulse that reaches this area causing a change in membrane potential, and opens voltage-gaited calcium ion channels. This causes an influx of Ca2+ into the synaptic end bulb, which stimulates the exocytosis of acetylcholine carrying vesicles. ( This means it releases acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft). In the motor end plate there are ligand gated ion channels (meaning they open due to a particular chemical) opens when acetylcholine meets it. This results in an influx of sodum ions, and an out flux of potassium ions, which raises the membrane potential (it depolarises it), which brings it closer to threshold. This creates a graded potential called an end-plate potential. If this is large enough it will stimulate voltage gated ion channels to open in the sarcolemma, and an action potential will propogate throughout the entire muscle fiber." }, { "docid": "D1897343#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/5003380/strength-and-conditioning-flash-cards/\nStrength and Conditioning", "text": "1,136 terms billstrainer Strength and Conditioning Note Cards for the CSCS Examination Which of the following is the method most commonly used to assign and regulate exercise intensity a. oxygen consumption b. heart rate c. ratings of perceived exertion d. race pace b. heart rate Which of the following types of training is conducted at an intensity equal to the lactate threshold? a. pace/tempo b. interval c. repetition d.

In the motorcycling world, protection is key. This is most certainly true for us, (the folks riding the motorcycles), but the same can also be said for our motorcycles. Protecting our bodies is by far more vital, but nobody enjoys it when their motorcycle sustains damage. That means time and money must be spent dealing with it, and it’s annoying to do so when it can be avoided. One popular protective measure is a set of frame sliders. Here, we’ll examine what they are, what they do, and how they do it. Function Frame sliders have a very simple purpose: protect your bike in the event of a crash. Specifically, they will come in handy in the event of a lowside type crash, where you lose traction and your motorcycle slides out from under you and down the road. While your motorcycle is traveling on its side, frame sliders will prevent or minimize any damage that might occur to your frame, other hard parts, and your bodywork." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1560731#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Do-crash-bars-on-motorcycles-really-protect-the-rider-If-so-which-types-are-the-best\nDo crash bars on motorcycles really protect the rider?

Many members of the motorcycle industry feel that crash bars of any kind are ineffective in protecting riders. There is considerable concern that structures to provide leg protection may increase overall rider injuries by increasing head and chest impact loads. Also, crash bar offers no protection against impacts after being thrown from the motorcycle. In my opinion, crash bars are there to protect the bike, not the rider. I present you two studies that analyze the pros and cons of using crash bars in motorcycles. 1. Study by US Department of Transportation (The Hurt Report): ( http://www.ilquen.it/download/mi...) This study in 1981 investigated 900 motorcycle accidents and concluded thatcrash bars are not effective in preventing significant injuries to the rider. The reduction of injury to the ankle-foot is balanced by increase of injury to the thigh-upper leg, knee, and lower leg. It is implied that crash bar usage does not increase or decrease accident involvement." }, { "docid": "D3049975#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_XR600\nHonda XR600", "text": "\"This article does not cite any sources.

Likewise, the gear we wear needs to be as finely honed to the specific task as our motorcycles. With that said, what makes for a good touring or sport-touring boot? Define these tasks, and you will define how this type of boot should function. Touring, especially when done in a sporting manner, involves travel at greater velocities, which demands a boot that offers protection and long-distance comfort in a variety of weather conditions. The matter of fit and comfort is quite subjective, but we have found that a comfortable boot flexes well and does not restrict the ability to squat down to check tire pressure or pick up a glove that has fallen off the seat. It likewise allows the ankle to flex for easy shifting, braking and walking up and down stairs. The sole should not be so thick or stiff as to detract from the “feel” of the brake pedal.

Ride Apart was among the first of the world’s media to go to Colorado to see and test the new bikes. Photos: Brian J Nelson What’s New It’s hard to know where to start, as there are so many changes that Harley-Davidson have introduced for the 2014 model year. Some are truly significant developments, such as the new high output 103ci and 110ci water-cooled engines, hydraulic clutches and sophisticated electronics on the big touring models, while there’s a series of smaller updates that run right across the range. These include ABS now as an option on its Sportster models. That move alone brings Harley-Davidson firmly in line with BMW, as the only other manufacturer in the U. S. to offer ABS across its entire motorcycle line-up. Big news too is the 96ci v-twin engine is no more. From 2014 model year onwards (with the exception of Sportsters) all Harley-Davidsons come equipped with a twin cam 103ci motor. There’s the standard 103, which was launched in the previous model year, but for 2014 there’s now a high output 103, a water-cooled high output 103 and for the CVO models (Customer Vehicle Order) a High Output water-cooled 110ci v-twin. Harley-Davidson is well known for being extremely secretive about any new model updates and all of these developments it would be fair to say caught everyone by surprise, including its own global dealer network, which was in Denver also for the annual H-D retailer meeting." }, { "docid": "D1899633#0", "title": "http://www.motosport.com/blog/heated-motorcycle-gear-recommendations-comparison-guide\nHeated Motorcycle Gear - Recommendations & Comparison Guide", "text": "Street Bike Riding Tips Tech Tips Lifestyle Product Reviews Racing Photo Gallery Heated Motorcycle Gear - Recommendations & Comparison Guide By: JC Current October 11, 2013Introduction to Heated Motorcycle Gear Some motorcycle riders are lucky.

The rest live in the parts of the world where winter can come, sit down, and stay a long while, sometimes for months on end. When this season comes along, many riders put away the bike and take their cars or public transport when they need to go somewhere. Others, however, let nothing stand in the way of a ride. They will do whatever it takes to get out on their bike no matter what Mother Nature is doing. For those riders who remain undaunted when the mercury falls and most people batten down the hatches and hibernate, there is an enormous choice in riding gear to make the winter months more comfortable, safer, and enjoyable. Apparel and gear selection for use during the colder season is not difficult to find.

The water slides were sold nationwide from 1961 through February 1992 under the following names: Slip 'N Slide, Super Slip 'N Slide, Slip 'N Splash, White Water Rapids, Fast Track Racers, and Wet Banana. PROBLEM: The WHAM-O slides are designed for use by children only. Use by adults and teens has the potential to result in neck injury and paralysis. Because of their weight and height, adults and teenagers who dive onto the water slide may hit and abruptly stop in such a way that could cause permanent spinal cord injury, resulting in quadriplegia or paraplegia. The slider's forward momentum drives the body into the neck and compresses the spinal cord. Kransco reports that seven adults and a 13-year-old teenager suffered neck injuries or paralysis while using WHAM-O slides. WHAT TO DO: The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Kransco urge adults and teenagers NOT to use WHAM-O backyard slides. Read the warnings and instructions on the box and the toy itself which state that the product is NOT FOR ADULT USE. Adults should instruct children how to use the slide safely.

[ 2] This action retards the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The energy of motion is converted into waste heat which must be dispersed. Hydraulically actuated disc brakes are the most commonly used form of brake for motor vehicles, but the principles of a disc brake are applicable to almost any rotating shaft.

In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed brakes that looked and operated in a similar way to a modern disc-brake system even though the disc was thin and a cable activated the brake pad. [ 3] Other designs were not practical or widely available in cars for another 60 years. Successful application began in airplanes before World War II, and even the German Tiger tank was fitted with discs in 1942. After the war, technological progress began to arrive in the 1950s, leading to a critical demonstration of superiority at the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans race, which required braking from high speeds several times per lap. The Jaguar racing team won, using disc brake equipped cars, with much of the credit being given to the brakes' superior performance over rivals equipped with drum brakes." }, { "docid": "D1186711#0", "title": "http://www.motorcycle.com/how-to/turn-install-switched-accessory-power-motorcycle\nTurn On: How To Install Switched Accessory Power To Your Motorcycle", "text": "Turn On: How To Install Switched Accessory Power To Your Motorcycle Don't Miss Stories on Motorcycle.com Follow Previous Next Share this Article Tweet Print Email a Friend Evans Brasfield July 8, 2014 8Photos by: Evans Brasfield Previously, I covered how to install a Powerlet accessory electrical socket. While having access to constant power for accessories is convenient (particularly for maintaining your battery with a smart charger), it has a major drawback: If you leave your electronics on when you shut down the engine, you can easily kill your battery. The best way to prevent this from happening is to make the socket switch itself off with the ignition. Although the task is fairly simple, you’ll need to perform a little detective work before you start. Touring bikes frequently have a fused accessory circuit, but most other motorcycles do not. To suss out a switched circuit, all you need is a sharp eye and a little intuition. You can save some time by consulting the wiring diagram in a service manual. No matter what path you follow, you’re looking for the location of a wire that has power only when the ignition is on. Choose a non-vital circuit – one that won’t put you in immediate danger should your additional wiring blow a fuse while you’re on the road. Stay away from the headlight and ignition circuits.

But when you tip one way or the other, that downward pull becomes much more important than your forward motion, and you fall down. That can hurt your body, which is why we wear our pads and helmets, but if you think about how momentum works, you can see that the force acting on your motorcycle is even more intense: Your mass is nothing compared to the bike's, so your momentum is that much less. It's the action of these two vectors -- the friction between your momentum and gravity -- that grinds your bike against the road, until the forward motion finally comes to a stop. The vectors are using the physical material of your bike to work out a simple physics problem about which one of them will win. The slower you're going when this happens, the less damage will be done, because the vectors will equal themselves out more quickly. Keep Reading Below Likewise, the longer the process takes, the safer your bike will be. Imagine dropping a dinner glass onto the ground, versus skipping it down your driveway. Those bounces represent sudden sharp adjustments to this vector ratio, and while they're dangerous, they certainly don't create as much friction -- or as much downward force -- as simply dropping the glass. But if you imagine rolling or sliding the glass, you can easily see how the danger is comparatively minimal." }, { "docid": "D3400862#0", "title": "http://www.dunlopmotorcycletires.com/care/faq/\nFAQ", "text": "FAQHow do I select the right replacement tires for my motorcycle?

These include adaptations in their anatomy, physiology and even their behavior. Some adaptations serve to discourage predators and parasites. Others help them feed and take advantage of food sources. These adaptations range from the obvious, like their stripes, to more subtle adaptions, like their herding behavior. Stripes A zebra's stripes probably catch the eye more quickly than any other adaption. However, these stripes serve several purposes. This includes \"\"dazzle\"\" camouflage. Unlike other forms of camouflage, dazzle camouflage does not hide the zebra.

Zebra of all species prefer to live in open grassland, and you'll find them in Eastern Africa, particularly in Kenya, and in parts of southern Africa, especially around the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers. Zebra Species Like horses and asses, zebras belong to the equid family. The main characteristics shared by the group are that they are long-lived, fast movers with large teeth suitable for chewing anything herbivorous. Zebra, regardless of species, live approximately 25 years in the wild and up to 40 in captivity. The zebra looks similar to a horse, except he has a short, tufted mane and those distinctive stripes. Each zebra species has its own general stripe pattern, but more fascinatingly, every zebra has his own unique stripe pattern, in the way that a person has a unique set of fingerprints. Scientists offer a few suggestions about the purpose of a zebra's stripes.

Host Plants Posted on April 23, 2014 by Kelly Ballard Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar eating a Camphor leaf The plants that caterpillars eat are called host plants while the plants that adult butterflies eat (actually they “drink” nectar from the flowers) are called nectar plants. Each species of butterflies has specific host plants on which the adult butterflies lay their eggs. Listed below are several popular butterfly species and the host plants that their caterpillars eat. The butterflies are particular about where they lay eggs because their caterpillars must have that distinct host plant to survive. The caterpillar will not eat if it does not have access to one of its specific host plants and will die. Some caterpillars are so picky that there is only one plant type that will support them. Fortunately, many caterpillars will eat from more than one plant type. The Best Host Plant for Caterpillars to Eat?

Adult zebras are characterized by their black and white striped pattern. This pattern varies with each zebra, and no two patterns are exactly alike.

[ 4] At one time extinct in the wild (in Mongolia, the last wild Przewalski's horses had been seen in 1966), it has been reintroduced to its native habitat in Mongolia at the Khustain Nuruu National Park, Takhin Tal Nature Reserve, and Khomiin Tal.

Most \"\"wild\"\" horses today, such as the American mustang or the Australian brumby, are actually feral horses descended from domesticated animals that escaped and adapted to life in the wild. The Przewalski's horse may never have been domesticated and has long been considered the only true wild horse extant in the world today. However, a 2018 DNA study suggested that modern Przewalski horses may descend from the domesticated horses of the Botai.

MPA means Master of Public Administration. This is a graduate university degree offered by many schools throughout the United States. The MPA is a \"\"professional\"\" degree. This means that it is principally for people who intend it as their highest level diploma and will apply their learning in the work place. However, a few students use the degree as a stepping stone to doctoral level (Ph D) study. The public in MPA represents public service and government. Administration is roughly synonymous with management. Hence, the degree is a managerial degree for use in public service agencies. Public service agencies may be either government or non-profit organizations." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1238007#0", "title": "http://www.mastersofpublicadministration.org/careers-for-students\nPublic Administration Careers for MPA Students", "text": "Public Administration Careers for MPA Students When you earn your Master of Public Administration Degree, you can have a world of professional opportunities to pursue.

Because you are marketing yourself in the job market, be careful how you present yourself so your target employers see you as a viable candidate. Whether or not to put letters after your name depends on what kind of work you want. Go for it, if you want work in the field or profession implied by specific degrees and credentials. If you don’t want to pigeonhole yourself into one field, let your name stand on its own. By all means include the credentials and degrees elsewhere in your resume, for credentials lend credibility (both from the Latin word “credere” meaning “to believe”). DEGREESIf you are looking for work in a specific field, you want to be defined by your degree or training.

Q: Isn’t public service in the United States organized around the making of law? Lawyers and the law certainly have their place in the policy process, but so do many other professionals with training and background in other fields. The majority of persons in public service are managers at all levels who make policy real through their implementation efforts — they are the “boots on the ground.” In most settings, lawyers serve rather narrowly defined advisory roles related to ensuring that policy and management choices comply with legal restrictions. This means that there actually are not that many career opportunities for lawyers in public service. Q: But isn’t legal education the best preparation for professional public service?

By Chris Deziel; Updated March 13, 2018It's useful for scientists and engineers to group metals from strongest to weakest, but the main obstacle to doing this meaningfully is that strength is defined by several properties. Keeping this in mind, steel and its alloys usually top most lists for general strength. Tungsten is generally number one on lists that are restricted to natural metals, although titanium is a close contender. None of these metals are as hard as diamond or as tough as graphene, but these carbon lattice structures are not metals. Four Strength Determinants When evaluating the strength of a metal, you could be talking about any one of four qualities: Tensile strength is a measure of how well a metal resists being pulled apart. Cookie dough and silly putty both have low tensile strength, whereas graphene has one of the highest tensile strengths ever recorded. Compressive strength or hardness measures how well a material resists being squeezed together. One way to determine this is to use the Mohs scale, with values from 0 to 10, with 10 being the hardest. Yield strength refers to how well a rod or beam of a particular metal resists bending and permanent deformation." }, { "docid": "D3384726#0", "title": "http://theconstructor.org/concrete/fibre-reinforced-polymer/1583/\nFIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER", "text": "An FRP composite is defined as a polymer that is reinforced with a fibre. The primary function of fibre reinforcement is to carry load along the length of the fiber and to provide strength and stiffness in one direction. FRP represents a class of materials that falls into a category referred to as composite materials. Composite materials consist of two or more materials that retain their respective chemical and physical characteristics when combined together. FRP composites are different from traditional construction materials like steel or aluminium. FRP composites are anisotropic (properties apparent in the direction of applied load) whereas steel or aluminium is isotropic (uniform properties in all directions, independent of applied load). Therefore FRP composites properties are directional, meaning that the best mechanical properties are in the direction of the fibre placement. COMPOSITE COMPONENTS1.

Fortunately, there are government agencies, institutions of higher education and other organizations that recognize the value of a graduate education, and these parties know it is in their best interest to help students afford to pursue a Masters or Ph D degree through graduate fellowships. Through fellowships for graduate students, these organizations make it possible for many students to fund their graduate studies with a great deal of independence, while institutional fellowships are given by a specific university where the student is expected to conduct his or her research or earn their degree. Types of Fellowships for Graduate Students Portable graduate fellowships, unlike institutional fellowships, can be applied to the institution of higher education of the student’s choice. While many fellowships require students to study at an approved school, a portable fellowship affords the student much more freedom than an institutional fellowship from a particular university. Portable graduate fellowships allow students to be more discerning when selecting a graduate program, as they are empowered with both the funds and the choices necessary to enroll in the program that aligns best with their research interests and goals. How Graduate School Fellowships are Awarded Graduate fellowships may be university-awarded, federally funded or may be fellowships offered by independent organizations, and many graduate fellowship programs are targeted to a specific student group or field of study. Portable fellowships are often referred to as “external” fellowships, and can award funding based on academic need, academic record or merit. The amount of the stipend granted varies depending upon a number of factors, including length of graduate school fellowships and fellowship provider. Here is a list of portable graduate fellowship programs that will not only help you afford graduate school, but will also enable you to gain perspective on your chosen field outside of what the confines of your university has to offer (Remember, however, that most graduate students are NOT funded on fellowships but on Teaching or Research Assistantships): Browse Graduate Fellowships: Federally Funded Portable Fellowships Portable Fellowships from Independent Organizations Institutional Fellowships Federally Funded Portable Fellowships U.

Through the use of a strong magnetic field and radio pulses, MRI technicians can create detailed images of tissues throughout the body. It's especially useful for soft tissues concealed by bones and other dense tissues, in areas such as the brain and joints. These MRI technicians, or technologists, usually enter the field with an associate degree in MRI technology or radiography. Primary Pathway Some technologists enter the field by training directly in the use of magnetic resonance imaging. This usually takes the form of a two-year associate degree, though some schools offer four-year bachelor's degrees, as well. The curriculum provides future technologists with a grounding in the humanities and basic sciences, then goes on to teach the principles and detailed practical aspects of magnetic resonance imaging. Programs also include practical instruction, giving students supervised opportunities to perform imaging procedures in a clinical setting. Graduates are eligible for licensing in most states, and can test for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Post-Primary Pathway Many technologists become certified in MRI after previously earning credentials in radiography or another health-care field." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2783784#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_much_do_optical_lab_techs_make\nHow much does an mri tech make?", "text": "How much does an mri tech make?

Working in a small clinic is different from working in a big, urban hospital. A radiographer’s routine also depends upon his or her skills and experience. Generally, radiology techs perform diagnostic imaging examinations like x-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and mammography to help physicians diagnose possible internal medical issues. Radiologic technicians and technologists use x-ray machines and other medical imaging equipment to non-invasively capture images of internal organs, bones, and tissue that may be damaged or at risk of disease. A high level of understanding of anatomy and physiology is a basic requirement of this job, and students who excel in biology courses in high school will more likely be prepared for work in this field. These images are used by doctors to diagnose everything from broken bones to cancerous tumors. The radiographer prepares a patient for radiologic exams and tests by: Explaining the procedure and providing protective garments so that x-rays do not reach parts of the body that can be harmed by them. Removing jewelry and other articles that may obstruct the x-ray.

They aid the jobs of physicians in diagnosing the problems of patients that can’t be diagnosed with regular lab tests. Radiology techs and MRI technicians usually work in hospitals but they can also work in private clinics and medical laboratories. They assist patients who are confined in the hospital, as well as operate equipment for outpatient services. They work full time but since they are also needed in emergency situations, they can work overnight, over weekends and holidays, and be available on call.

This wave occurs at frequencies similar to the mu wave, although the alpha wave is detected over a different part of the brain. The left motor cortex, or BA4, is highlighted in green on this left lateral view of the brain. This is the area over which mu waves are detected bilaterally. Mu waves, also known as mu rhythms, comb or wicket rhythms, arciform rhythms, or sensorimotor rhythms, are synchronized patterns of electrical activity involving large numbers of neurons, probably of the pyramidal type, in the part of the brain that controls voluntary movement. [ 1] These patterns as measured by electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), or electrocorticography (ECo G), repeat at a frequency of 7.5–12.5 (and primarily 9–11) Hz, and are most prominent when the body is physically at rest. [ 1] Unlike the alpha wave, which occurs at a similar frequency over the resting visual cortex at the back of the scalp, the mu wave is found over the motor cortex, in a band approximately from ear to ear. A person suppresses mu wave patterns when he or she performs a motor action or, with practice, when he or she visualizes performing a motor action. This suppression is called desynchronization of the wave because EEG wave forms are caused by large numbers of neurons firing in synchrony. The mu wave is even suppressed when one observes another person performing a motor action or an abstract motion with biological characteristics." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2457502#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-does-MU-on-a-calculator-mean\nWhat does MU on a calculator mean?", "text": "\"Avinash, calculator developer for android Updated Feb 18, 2016The above image is of this android app : Citizen Calculator (NO Ads) - Android Apps on Google Play The Images Above explain the working of all the buttons.

Then and Now – From Southern Rap to EDM (Flosstradamus, Baauer, Gucci Mane)by Computo on Nov 9, 2012Share Like Share on Google+ Tweet Comments The growing popularity of trap music in North America has been one of the biggest stories in electronic dance music in 2012. Dubspot writer Computo explores trap’s DNA…UNDERGR☢UND ANTHEM by Flosstradamus The summer of 2012 saw the rise of trap music in North America. With DJs and producers like Flosstradamus, Diplo, The Gaslamp Killer and TNGHT (Hudson Mohawke and Lunice) spreading the sound, and major hip hop artists like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and Gucci Mane releasing trap-influenced hits like “Mercy” and “Birthday Song,” the the stripped-back 808-dominant style has an undeniable surge in popularity. With its short detuned hip hop vocal loops, the classic 808 sub kick creating low-end pressure and short squeals of pitch-shifting synths supplying the melodies, trap has been one of the most-hyped sounds of 2012, but where does it come from? Origins of Trap The current trap music revival draws on several different sources of musical inspiration. Part of the DNA of trap music goes all the way back to the early hip hop, electro and Miami bass of the late 80s and early 90s, relying heavily on the classic sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Electro tracks like “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa introduced the 808 sound to dancefloors, and Miami bass tracks like “My Boo” by the Ghost Town DJs were anchored by some of the same 808-heavy beats and crushed-fill drum patterns that would later get slowed down and become associated with trap.ghost town dj's - my boo (Video Quality A++)Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Traditionally, Wi-Fi bandwidth gets shared among various devices from one common pool. The more devices you connect, the less bandwidth is available for each one.

The electrons do literally move, both in AC and DC. However, the movement of electrons and the transfer of energy do not occur at the same speed. The key is that there are already electrons filling up the wire all along its length." }, { "docid": "D3348869#0", "title": "https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278262613000274\nThe role of imitation in the observed heterogeneity in EEG mu rhythm in autism and typical development", "text": "Brain and Cognition Volume 82, Issue 1, June 2013, Pages 69-75The role of imitation in the observed heterogeneity in EEG mu rhythm in autism and typical development Raphael Bernier a Benjamin Aaronson a James Mc Partland b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2013.02.008 Get rights and content Abstract Dysfunction in an execution/observation matching system, or mirror neuron system, has been proposed to contribute to the social deficits observed in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Atypical activity in this system, as reflected in attenuation of the EEG mu rhythm, has been demonstrated in several studies; however, normative patterns of activity have been evident in other ASD samples. The current study sought to investigate this poorly understood heterogeneity in social perceptual brain function in ASD. EEG mu rhythm was recorded in a well-characterized sample of 19 children with ASD (mean age = 6.4; 1 female) and 19 age-matched typically developing peers (mean age = 6.9; 2 females) during execution and observation of goal-directed hand actions. Children were assessed on variables theoretically related to mirror neuron system function (MNS), such as ASD symptoms and imitation ability. Results indicated that MNS activity was associated with facial imitation ability, but not hand imitation ability, in children with ASD and typically developing individuals. Groups were comparable in terms of average MNS activity during both action observation and execution, but, in both groups, a subset of children showed absent or significantly reduced MNS activity during observation of action in conjunction with greater difficulty in imitation. These results emphasize the relationship between EEG indices of MNS function and imitative skill and suggest that dysfunction of the MNS is related to imitation ability in both clinical and typical populations, rather than representing a core deficit or universal impairment in ASD. Highlights► EEG mu rhythm attenuation is associated with imitative ability across groups. ► ASD and typical groups do not differ in mu attenuation." }, { "docid": "D487903#0", "title": "https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mu\nmu", "text": "\"munoun \\ ˈmyü, ˈmü \\Popularity: Bottom 40% of words Trending Now:oligarch glib depose omnibus acrimony ALLTime Traveler!

However, this possibility is absent in the quantum world. In 1927 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg described such limitations as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, or simply the Uncertainty Principle, stating that it is not possible to measure both the momentum and position of a particle simultaneously. The Nature of Measurement In order to understand the conceptual background of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle it is important to understand how physical values are measured. In almost any measurement that is made, light is reflected off the object that is being measured and processed. The shorter the wavelength of light used, or the higher its frequency and energy, the more accurate the results. For example, when attempting to measure the speed of a tennis ball as it is dropped off of a ledge, photons (measurement of light) are shot off the tennis ball, reflected, and then processed by certain equipment. Because the tennis ball is so large compared to the photons, it is unaffected by the efforts of the observer to measure its physical quantities. However, if a photon is shot at an electron, the minuscule size of the electron and its unique wave-particle duality introduces consequences that can be ignored when taking measurements of macroscopic objects. Heisenberg himself encountered such limitations as he attempted to measure the position of an electron with a microscope." }, { "docid": "D2508193#0", "title": "https://www.talkbass.com/threads/active-passive-switch-question.841539/\nactive/passive switch question", "text": "\"Home Forums > Bass Guitar > General Forums [BG] > Pickups & Electronics [BG] >Please take 30 seconds to register your free account to remove most ads, post topics, make friends, earn reward points at our store, and more!Talk Bass.com has been uniting the low end since 1998.

Jan 6, 2012 #2walterw Supportive Fender Gold Supporting Member Commercial User Feb 20, 2009alpha-music.comyou can do an active/passive switch that also shuts the battery off, but it would need to be a TPDT switch; 6 contacts (two rows of 3) are for the true-bypass signal switching, with the last row of 3 for disconnecting the 9V at the same time. the stomp version is used in pedals all the time to true-bypass switch and turn on the indicator light. the only issue is that you might get weird power-up noises when you switch the preamp back on while plugged in.

Because these samples are usually stored in digital memory, the information can be quickly accessed. A single sample may often be pitch-shifted to different pitches to produce musical scales and chords.

Introduction1.1 The aim of this protocol is to ensure that, before any decision is reached regarding the need for a jointly funded placement, there has been a multi agency discussion and information sharing to ensure that all options have been explored to support the child's placement at home and/or school.1.2 A decision to make a jointly funded placement will only be agreed when it is considered in the best interest of the child and all other options have been explored.2. Multi Agency Meetings2.1 All jointly funded placements of children will be referred to the Access to Resources (SEN) Panel for approval - see Section 3, Access to Resources Panel2.2 When the SEN team become aware of a child whose educational needs cannot be met within a local school, they will check with the Children's Social Care Teams as to whether the family is known to them.2.3 Where the family is known or the SEN Team have significant concerns about the ability of an educational provision to meet the child's educational needs, they will convene a multi agency meeting.2.4 Similarly where a Children's Social Care Team has significant concerns about a child with an Education, Health and Care Plan that may result in a recommendation for a jointly funded provision, they will convene a multi agency meeting.2.5 The purpose of a multi agency meeting is to ensure that all options have been explored to support the child in the current school and home before a recommendation is made to the Access to Resources (SEN) Panel for a jointly funded resource.2.6 If there are significant health issues the child must also be referred to the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG’s) for a continuing care assessment.3 Access to Resources Panel3.1 The Access to Resources (SEN) Panel will be the decision maker for all children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan and require jointly funded provision to meet their education and/or care needs. ( This will include both looked after children and those where there have been Special Educational Needs Tribunal decisions).3.2 The Access to Resources (SEN) Panel will consider all SEN placements on a monthly basis.3.3 The Access to Resources (SEN) Panel Administrator will circulate annually dates for these monthly meetings.3.4 The monthly Access to Resources (SEN) Panel membership will include: The Head of Safeguarding (Chair);Manager of the Placement Service;Service Manager for the relevant social care team;Service Manager for Children with Additional Needs;Head of SEN Team;Finance and Data Officer;Manager of LACE Team.3.5 The Finance and Data Officer will record information about referrals and outcomes in a statistical format to be agreed by the Panel.3.6 To avoid delay in emergency situation the Chair of the Panel can agree to the temporary funding of a potential jointly funded provision. These cases will be referred to the next available Panel.3.7 Written details of children to be referred to the Panel will be sent to the Panel Administrator at least a week in advance.3.8 The Panel will make a decision as to the funding of the identified provision and the budget allocation (Schools and/or Social care) and may recommend further action.3.9 A written record of the decision will be available from the Panel Administrator within 7 days of the Panel meeting.4. Funding Arrangements4.1 The SEN team will pay the education costs of the placement including provision costs e.g. 1 to 1.4.2 Where education costs are not broken down by the provider, the following splits will be applied:52 week placements - 25%/75% - SEN/Children's Social Care;38 week placements - 50/50.4.3 Educationally related transport costs to the placement will be shared equally between SEN and Children's Social Care budgets.4.4 The placement and funding arrangements will be reviewed at the Access to Resources Panel 6 months from the date of placement. Where there is potential disruption to the placement the case will need to be referred to the Panel earlier.4.5 The Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG’s) may agree to part-fund a residential placement following the continuing care protocol. In these cases, the Panel will be made aware of the contribution from the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG’s) and this will be taken into consideration prior to applying the above formula.

Since schools have an obligation under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to provide a free, appropriate public education to children with disabilities, parents should work with their local school to determine the services needed by their child in order to progress and benefit from education. This might mean the formulation of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that outlines the services that will be provided as well as annual goals that set forth the amount of progress to be made within a specified period of time. In addition to working with their local school on specific services, parents should learn as much as possible about their child’s learning disability so they can advocate successfully.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSGeneral Information Program Title: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)Synopsis of Program: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. Advances in CPS will enable capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability that will far exceed the simple embedded systems of today. CPS technology will transform the way people interact with engineered systems -- just as the Internet has transformed the way people interact with information. New smart CPS will drive innovation and competition in sectors such as agriculture, energy, transportation, building design and automation, healthcare, and manufacturing. The December 2010 report of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) titled Designing a Digital Future: Federally Funded Research and Development in Networking and Information Technology calls for continued investment in CPS research because of its scientific and technological importance as well as its potential impact on grand challenges in a number of sectors critical to U. S. security and competitiveness such as the ones noted above." }, { "docid": "D874325#0", "title": "https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/federal-programs-persons-disabilities\nFederal Programs for Persons with Disabilities", "text": "\"U.

Step One: The President's Budget Request The federal budget process starts when the President submits a detailed budget request for the coming fiscal year, which begins on October 1. ( The President's request is supposed to come by the first Monday in February, but sometimes the submission is delayed — particularly when a new Administration takes office or congressional action on the prior year's budget has been delayed.) This budget request — developed through an interactive process between federal agencies and the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that begins the previous spring (or earlier) — plays three important roles. First, it tells Congress what the President recommends for overall federal fiscal policy, as established by three main components: (1) how much money the federal government should spend on public purposes; (2) how much it should take in as tax revenues; and (3) how much of a deficit (or surplus) the federal government should run, which is simply the difference between (1) and (2). In most years, actual federal spending exceeds tax revenues and the resulting deficit is financed through borrowing (see chart). Second, the President's budget lays out his relative priorities for federal programs — how much he believes should be spent on defense, agriculture, education, health, and so on. The President's budget is very specific, and recommends funding levels for individual federal programs or small groups of programs called \"\"budget accounts.\"\" The budget typically sketches out fiscal policy and budget priorities not only for the coming year but also for the next ten years. The budget is accompanied by supporting volumes, including historical tables that set out past budget figures." }, { "docid": "D2631882#0", "title": "http://adopt.org/faqs\nFAQs", "text": "\"FAQs Who Are the Children Waiting for Adoption?

You know that children all develop at their own pace, but your child has always seemed a little behind others in pronouncing words or expressing ideas. Most people you’ve mentioned it to – maybe even your spouse, mother or pediatrician – have advised that she’s probably a late bloomer, or that he’s “just like Uncle Dan was at that age,” and he’ll grow out of it. But you wonder: Does my child need speech therapy? Is this really a problem, or is it normal development? How do you know, and how do you get speech therapy for your child if he’s delayed?

We speak up for abused children who are lost in the system and guide them into safe environments where they can thrive. Child Advocates volunteers serve children who have been placed in foster care because they can no longer live safely at home. Our volunteers are appointed by juvenile and family court judges to serve as a child’s “guardian ad litem,” which gives them the power to make a profound difference in that child’s life. What happens to children who fall through the cracks in the system? So often we end up seeing them on the five o'clock news, once they've been abused to death or acted out their pain on society by committing a crime. Research shows children who grow up in foster care are more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment, unplanned pregnancy and substance abuse.

Dennis M. Mulcahy Faculty of [email protected] Imagine for a moment a developed nation which regarded its rural schools as its elite and as models to be envied and emulated by metropolitan schools. Imagine a system in which rural schools were the prime beneficiaries of educational research, the recipients of a steady stream of the nation's best educators, and the bastions of the education world's power prestige, and resources. - Jonathan Sher Introduction Over the past four years I have become increasingly involved in rural education studies. The rural nature of Newfoundland and Labrador presents a unique opportunity to do specialized work in this field. Sixty percent (60%) of all schools are officially classified as rural; fifty percent (50%) of the 472 schools in the province have fewer than 200 students. Sixty-five (65) of these schools have fewer than 50 students and only 14% of our schools have a student population of more than 400 (NF Department of Education Statistics, 1996). Given these numbers, perhaps, the context makes rural education studies an obligation. In this essay I will describe how I came to be interested in rural education. I will also outline some the projects and activities that I have engaged in over the last four years as this interest has grown and developed." }, { "docid": "D1112510#0", "title": "http://www.kidslegal.org/section-504-what-does-it-mean\nSpecial Education Language", "text": "\"When entering the world of special education it can feel like people are speaking a different language.

Introduction This practice guidance aims to assist all agencies working with children, with adults who are parents/carers or with pregnant women and their partners in identifying situations where action is needed to safeguard a child or promote their welfare as a result of the adult's mental ill health. Mental ill health in a parent or carer does not necessarily have an adverse impact on a child's development. Just as there is a range in severity of illness, so there is a range of potential impact on families. The majority of parents with a history of mental ill health present no risk to their children, however even in cases of low level concern, the needs of the child/ren should be paramount. It is important to recognise other issues that can exacerbate the risk presented by mental health issues. For example, the presence of drug or alcohol dependency and domestic violence and abuse in addition to mental health problems with little or no family or community support would indicate an increased likelihood of risk of harm to the child, and to the parents' mental health and wellbeing." }, { "docid": "D2598173#0", "title": "https://ldaamerica.org/advocacy/lda-position-papers/right-to-an-evaluation-of-a-child-for-special-education-services/\nRight to an Evaluation of a Child for Special Education Services", "text": "Right to an Evaluation of a Child for Special Education Services Parents who are aware their child is having a difficult time with reading, mathematics, written expression or other aspects of school work might suspect that the child has a learning disability (LD), also known as specific learning disabilities, and may be in need of special education services. Learning disabilities are caused by a disorder in how information is received, processed, or communicated within the brain and affect each individual differently. A learning disability can cause an individual to have difficulty in specific areas of learning, including reading, writing, and mathematics. In addition, individuals with LD may have difficulty with gross motor or fine motor coordination or with social interaction. Learning disabilities can affect children and adults and impact school, family, workplace and community life. For more information on LD, please see the LDA Position Statement What are Learning Disabilities? What are your legal rights to an evaluation? As a parent, guardian or advocate, you have a legal right to request that your public school evaluate your child for special education. Federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as amended in 2004 (IDEA), gives you that legal right. States, through local school districts, must “identify, locate, and evaluate every child who may have a disability requiring special education services.”" }, { "docid": "D2812108#0", "title": "https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/special-educational-needs-teacher\nSpecial educational needs teacher", "text": "Job profile Special educational needs teacher View all teaching and education vacancies Add to favourites If you aspire to help children with complex needs achieve their potential a career as a special educational needs teacher would suit you As a special educational needs (SEN) teacher you'll work with children and young people who need extra support, or require an advanced programme of learning in order to reach their full educational potential.

They are more closely related to sheep and goats than the buffalo they more closely resemble. But it’s hard to tell with all that hair. Perfectly adapted to their Arctic habitat, musk ox have a winter coat that is eight times warmer than sheep’s wool. A layer of fine underwool is paired with their long, continuously growing skirt of guard hairs, which can reach the ground in older individuals. The only part of their body that is not covered in warm wool is a small strip of flesh between their nostrils and their lips. Other Arctic adaptations include short legs and a high body-fat content.

Plowing is the hardest work of farming. Basically you have to make zillions of holes in the ground to put the seeds in, and you have to loosen up the soil around those seeds so that water will get to them, and so that they will be able to grow. One way of doing this is with just any strong stick, with a point on one end: you stick it in the ground and wiggle it around, and then drop a seed in, and you cover it loosely with dirt, then you do it again, and again, and again, all day long. These are called digging sticks. An Egyptian using a hand plow or ard (about 1400 BC)But it’s faster to use a plow. The simplest kind of plow is a digging stick with a handle on it crossways – a scratch plow or ard. You push it along through the dirt, so it makes a groove, and then somebody else goes along behind you dropping the seeds in here and there, and using her foot to cover up the seeds again loosely.

Appearance The mammoth and mastodon are often misconceived to be much larger than what they really are. They are, in fact, very similar in size to the modern day Asian elephant, which grows up to 3 meters high at the shoulder. The coat of a mammoth was similar to that of musk oxen, growing up to 90 centimeters in length. Other physical characteristics of the mammoth included a high-peaked forehead, and a high hump that resulted from their long spines and neck vertebrae and possibly accentuated by fat deposits and thick hair. They had a shorter trunk than the modern day Asian or African elephants that we are used to seeing today. The Mammoth and The Mastodon There is a number of different Mammoth and Mastodon species that diverged from the Asian elephant after the latter group split from the African elephant. They are all mammals and belong to a species called Proboscideans. From the Mastodon two Asian and African elephants evolved.

To know why musk oxen are able to survive in the freezing temperature of the Arctic region, read on... Musk oxen are massive animals that weigh around 900 pounds. They are 6 to 8 feet long and can be up to 6 feet tall. These are social animals that tend to move in groups. They can survive even if the temperature falls to 100 degrees Celsius below zero. No wonder they can live comfortably in the hostile Arctic Tundra. The horns are their primary weapon that are often used in times of threat.

Musk oxen are stocky mammals with large heads, short necks, and short, stout legs. Their name derives from their musky odour and from their superficial resemblance to the ox, though they are not closely related to cattle. Musk oxen are closely related to the mountain goat, chamois, and serow and are placed in the bovid subfamily Caprinae, along with the true goats and sheep. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Bulls from the southern Barren Grounds in Canada stand about 135 cm (53 inches) at the shoulder and weigh about 340 kg (750 pounds); cows weigh about 250 kg (550 pounds). Northern musk oxen are smaller than those that live farther south. Horns are present in both sexes and are as much as 60 cm (24 inches) long in old males. The male’s horns have a broad base and proceed sideways from the midline of the skull, dip downward at the sides of the head, and curve upward at the ends. Females and young have similar, but smaller, horns.

The muskox is one of the two largest extant members of Caprinae, along with the similarly sized takin. [ 9] While takin and muskox were once considered possibly related, the takin lacks common ovibonine features, such as the muskox's specialized horn morphology, and genetic analysis shows that their lineages actually separated early in caprine evolution. Instead, the muskox's closest living relatives appear to be the gorals of the genus Naemorhedus, nowadays common in many countries of central and east Asia. The vague similarity between takin and muskox must therefore be considered an example of convergent evolution.

Webb Introduction Recently, hatchling musk turtles seem to be turning up for sale in pet shops, reptile shops and aquatic centres with increasing regularity. In some ways, I see this as a good thing, in the sense that these turtles are far more suitable for home keeping than many other species usually offered, like sliders, cooters, snapping and softshell turtles. All of these latter turtles grow large, in some cases require fairly specialist captive conditions, and so keeping them properly is beyond many keepers. Musk turtles, on the other hand, are small in size and are relatively easy to keep. They might lack the bright colours of some of the sliders and cooters, but in my opinion they more than make up for this in terms of personality – these are small turtles big on charisma!Unfortunately however, much of the time they are sold with incorrect care information and although there are good reference books available, these are often out of print and/or relatively hard to get hold of, and are not as widely read as they might be. Given their increased availability in shops, and the misinformation often supplied at point of sale, I suspect that musk turtles will start being offered for rehoming much more than in the past. The common name “musk turtle” is given to turtles in the genus Sternotherus of the turtle family Kinosternidae , which also includes the mud turtles. There are five species/subspecies, all of which are found in North America. These are the common or stinkpot musk, S. odoratus , the razorback musk S. carinatus , the loggerhead musk S. minor minor , the stripenecked musk S. minor peltifer and the flattened musk S. depressus.

Answered Jun 30, 2012 · Author has 333 answers and 2.6m answer views Bison are definitely better suited to defense against predation by wolves. They evolved with wolves as a natural predator and thus the co-evolutionary processes that selected the modern bison and the modern wolf clearly dictates that they be capable of defending themselves to some reasonable degree. Cattle are a domesticated animal that appears to have little long term evolutionary pressure directly from wolves. First because we have done a good job of protecting cattle from wolf depredation and secondly because cattle have not historically been a major source of prey for wolves. In fact in spite of what the ranching industry would have us believe, wolf related cattle losses represent less than 1% of cattle mortality. In other words, in all be a few very select locations, wolves don't represent a real threat to cattle so cattle have not developed behaviors that allow them to effectively protect themselves from wolves. Bison, on the other hand, much like musk oxen, have developed behaviors that are very effective in staving off wolves and in protecting their offspring from predation. In fact, in a paper ( http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cg...) by Doug Smith, David Mech and others, bison were referred to as the wolf's \"\"most formidable prey\"\". Given a choice it appears that wolves will preferentially exploit nearly any other ungulate species ahead of bison. Not only are bison larger and more aggressive than cattle, but they are well adapted to stave off wolf attacks." } ]

Two to four feet high and often almost perfectly circular with a diameter of three to five feet the stalk mounds guarantee that a muskrat can get out from under the ice and breath. More importantly since the mounds are based under the pond water, they guarantee that a muskrat can burrow through them and get back under the ice which is a safe place to be when minks are roaming on top of the ice. The appearance of the mounds signals the beginning of winter for me because I often see them during my first skate around the beaver ponds usually in December. In 2003 as I skated around two large ponds I took photos of 11 mounds. I blush to say I have never made a study of these mounds either from the aesthetic or scientific angle.

Caduto March 16, 2009 7 Comments Illustration by Adelaide Tyrol In early March, when many cold-weary souls head south for a late winter respite, others spend their days in toasty ice-fishing shacks on still-frozen ponds and on the bays of quiet rivers. They have company: In the midst of some of these avid anglers are muskrats, who have their own winter retreats — dome-shaped mounds of marsh plants that cover holes in the ice. Inside these shelters the dark-brown rodents feed and rest during weather that would discourage the most hardened winter-sport enthusiasts. Humans use gas-powered augers to drill holes in the ice; muskrats use their teeth. They gnaw four- to five-inch diameter holes and push marsh plants up through the ice to form their mound shacks. Then they chew out the interior to create a place to eat, rest and catch a breath of air after swimming under the ice. But just as human anglers have regular homes, muskrats have their own year-around homes. In river ecosystems they often live in burrowed bank dens, but in marshes their more-permanent lodges are constructed of plants, such as cattails, and mud. These houses rest on a firm base—the marsh bottom. Muskrats build these lodges by piling up the plants, then chewing out an opening and carefully layering much of the removed material to the top of the rising mound." }, { "docid": "D3560218#0", "title": "http://www.odh.ohio.gov/odhprograms/bid/zdp/animals/rodents.aspx\n.", "text": "\"Rabbits, Rodents and Pocket Pets Wild rodents (chipmunks, squirrels, mice, rats, muskrats) and rabbits can be found throughout Ohio and are well-adapted to living in urban, suburban and rural environments.

In the 1960's, when the Federal Endangered Species Act came into being, the Trumpeter Swan was considered for this list. At about the same time, a nesting population of about 2,000 Trumpeters was discovered in Alaska. The species was then taken off the consideration list. However, various states list the Trumpeter as either state-threatened or state-endangered. What is a male swan called, a female swan? A male swan is called a Cob.

Native Americans and early settlers used muskrats as a source of food and fur but had little influence on population levels. Historically, muskrats have been one of the most commonly trapped animals in Connecticut and throughout the nation. They are considered an important furbearer resource in terms of the number harvested and economic value. In Connecticut, the muskrat harvest has dropped markedly from over 20,000 per year more than 2 decades ago to between 2,000 to 4,000 per year in recent years. Connecticut has a legal trapping season and trappers are required to pass a trapping course offered by the DEP's Conservation Education/Firearms Safety Program. Range: The muskrat is found throughout the United States, except in predominantly dry regions. It is common in New England and throughout Connecticut. Description: The muskrat gets its name from its resemblance to a rat and from the musky odor that is produced by scent glands.

Even adults confuse the two, because beavers and muskrats are easiest to identify by their tails, but those aren’t always visible when these cute brown furry cousins are swimming. Beaver tails are wide, flat and paddle-shaped, while muskrats have long, skinny tails with flat sides. You can usually see a muskrat’s whole body when it is swimming.

Weasels bite the neck and then will chew on the head of squirrels, chickens and rabbits. Owls are also known to eat just the head. But with owls there will be talon wounds in the back of the animal. So if the carcass has no wounds and the head is chewed off its likely a weasel. I had one get into my rabbit pen and it left two dead rabbits without heads.

They have been known to steal bait from fishing lines and are unintentionally caught by anglers. Round gobies were first discovered in the St. Clair River in 1990 and have spread rapidly in the Great Lakes and some inland lakes. Once established, gobies can displace native fish, eat their eggs and young, take over optimal habitat, spawn multiple times per season and survive in poor quality water. The round goby is native to the Black and Caspian Sea regions and was introduced to the Great Lakes through ballast water. Although adult gobies spend their lives near the bottom; however, larval gobies swim to the surface at night and are easily sucked into ballast tanks. This contributed to the rapid spread of gobies to ports around the Great Lakes after their initial discovery in the St. Clair River in 1990. The non-native round goby is considered an invasive species because of the negative impact they have had on the Great Lakes ecosystem. Competition with Native Fish The mottled sculpin, a native species, and the round goby look and act similarly.

Freshwater mussels have an unusual and complex mode of reproduction, which includes a brief, obligatory stage as a parasite on a fish. During the breeding season, females lay eggs and brood them inside specialized chambers in their gills called a marsupia . Males release sperm into the open water, which is then drawn into the females through their siphons. The sperm fertilizes the eggs. Inside the female mussel, fertilized eggs develop into microscopic larvae known as glochidia. And this is where the fish hosts come into play – and things begin to get interesting. Mussels need to “infect” a host fish with glochidia to complete the reproductive process. The method of host infection greatly varies among mussel species. Some mussels simply release glochidia into the water where they must haphazardly come into contact with the appropriate fish host as it swims by." }, { "docid": "D1746495#0", "title": "http://www.thekitchn.com/fact-or-fiction-following-the-120217\n\"Fact or Fiction?

Stefano Bolognini Email Twitter Facebook Linked In Print As I was growing up, any time my mother suggested buying mussels or cockles for dinner, my gran would pipe up with the old adage that “you should only be eating shellfish when there’s an ‘R’ in the month”. In truth, my gran didn’t much care for seafood any month of the year but is there any validity in that old saying? The waters around our coasts abound with different species of microscopic organisms. Many of them are autotrophic, which means they gain sustenance by photosynthesising the sunlight that filters down through the water column. Others are heterotrophic and need to consume prey to survive and a number of others, called mixotrophs, do a bit of both. This microscopic micro-plankton community sits at the bottom of the intricate food web that extends throughout our seas and oceans and shellfish, both wild and farmed, feed on it.

If the byssus, or beard , is still attached (most cultivated mussels have been trimmed mechanically), remove it by pulling it from tip to hinge or pulling and cutting it off with your knife. Do this just before cooking. Discard any with cracked or open shells. To steam mussels: For 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds mussels, put 1 cup liquid (water or a mix of water and white wine or beer) in a 4- to 6-quart pot. Bring to a boil, then dump in the mussels and cover. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels open wide. This will take 3 to 6 minutes, but check frequently after 3 minutes. Scoop out the mussels with a slotted spoon (discard any that are unopened) and save the flavor-packed liquid if desired.

Carnivores are prey animals that help to control the populations of other animals. Such is the case with mountain lion and wolves who keep deer populations in check. This helps keep the deer population down and weeds out the old and sick members of the herd naturally.

They consume organic matter wherever humidity and temperature are sufficient. Where conditions are right, fungi proliferate into colonies and mycotoxin levels become high. The reason for the production of mycotoxins is not yet known; they are not necessary for the growth or the development of the fungi. [ 7] Because mycotoxins weaken the receiving host, the fungus may use them as a strategy to better the environment for further fungal proliferation. The production of toxins depends on the surrounding intrinsic and extrinsic environments and these substances vary greatly in their toxicity, depending on the organism infected and its susceptibility, metabolism, and defense mechanisms.

Disease outbreaks are dependent on three key factors, the presence and type of pathogen, the status of the host, and the environment that influences the pathogen and the corn plant. When all the factors interact in a suitable combination, disease can occur. To effectively manage corn for disease, it is preferable to prevent or manage a disease outbreak when the disease is at low levels, as opposed to attempting to deal with a disease in which significant damage has already occurred. Field scouting for disease throughout the growing season, planting disease-resistant varieties (if possible) and crop rotations can all reduce the likelihood of most disease outbreaks in the future. Field scouting on a weekly basis can provide information on what diseases are present, the severity, and potential for crop loss if untreated. There is no better way of determining the status of disease on a corn crop, than actually being in the field to view these problems for yourself, and make informed decisions on what management tactics should be employed. Reviewing the field history, identifying the diseases, and mapping the location of disease problems in the field, are all beneficial investments of time that will assist in the management of corn diseases. The decision on what variety/varieties of corn to grow can be a difficult, and accounting for disease resistance can increase the difficulty.

They can grow on a variety of different crops and foodstuffs including cereals, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apple juice and coffee, often under warm and humid conditions. The mycotoxins of most concern from a food safety perspective include the aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2 and M1), ochratoxin A, patulin and toxins produced by Fusarium moulds, including fumonisins (B1, B2 and B3), trichothecenes (principally nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, T-2 and HT-2 toxin) and zearalenone. Mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans. Aflatoxins, including aflatoxin B1 are the most toxic and have been shown to be genotoxic i.e. can damage DNA and cause cancer in animal species. There is also evidence that they can cause liver cancer in humans. Other mycotoxins have a range of other health effects including kidney damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, reproductive disorders or suppression of the immune system. For most mycotoxins, a tolerable daily intake (TDI) has been established, which estimates the quantity of mycotoxin which someone can be exposed to daily over a lifetime without it posing a significant risk to health.

Previous Section Next Section INTRODUCTIONMycoses and Mycotoxicoses Fungi are major plant and insect pathogens, but they are not nearly as important as agents of disease in vertebrates, i.e., the number of medically important fungi is relatively low. Frank growth of fungi on animal hosts produces the diseases collectively called mycoses, while dietary, respiratory, dermal, and other exposures to toxic fungal metabolites produce the diseases collectively called mycotoxicoses. Mycoses range from merely annoying (e.g., athlete's foot) to life-threatening (e.g., invasive aspergillosis). The fungi that cause mycoses can be divided into two categories, primary pathogens (e.g., Coccidioides immitis and Histoplasma capsulatum) and opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans ). Primary pathogens affect otherwise healthy individuals with normal immune systems. Opportunistic pathogens produce illness by taking advantage of debilitated or immunocompromised hosts." }, { "docid": "D3558361#0", "title": "http://ezinearticles.com/?Top-Ten-Toxic-Fungi-Infested-Foods&id=102859\nTop Ten Toxic Fungi Infested Foods", "text": "\"Top Ten Toxic Fungi Infested Foods By John Williams \| Submitted On November 26, 20054 1 1 1Many fungi naturally produce a substance known as a mycotoxin during their digestive process. These mycotoxins are toxic to humans, and some are extremely toxic if ingested even in small quantities. There are some foods that naturally contain high levels of these mycotoxins, and most of us aren't even aware that mycotoxins exist, much less that we eat them in our food supply. The foods that most often contain high concentrations of mycotoxins are grain crops, nuts, sugars and cheese. We're going to take a look at the most contaminated of these foods in this article. Let's begin with the grain foods, since they normally exhibit the higher levels. Corn, wheat, barley, and rye contain what is known as \"\"universal contamination\"\". What this really means, is that they contain so many different fungi, that it is a universal contamination. The levels of contamination are often extremely high, and are carried over into the foods made from these grains. The next category of foods with high levels of contamination is sugars." }, { "docid": "D2666172#0", "title": "http://www.envirovantage.com/black-mold-vs-regular-mold/\nBlack Mold vs. Regular Mold", "text": "Black Mold vs. Regular Moldby Envirovantage \| Oct 18, 2012 \| Mold, Water Damage \|Source: e How A musty odor that lingers, or the appearance of dark spots on walls, ceilings and on grout, are indicators of a possible mold problem in a home. After verifying the presence of mold, it is important to determine whether it’s regular mold or something more sinister like Stachybotrys chartarum – black mold. Black or Green, What Does It Mean? Mold is a moisture-loving fungus made up of spores of various sizes. Some mold spores are as small as 3 microns, while others are as large as 40 microns. Mold spores also vary in color. For instance, mold spores that grow behind wallpaper often have a yellow or pink hue. Mold spores that grow on open walls and tile are usually green, brown and sometimes black.

An investigation into plant poisonings requires knowledge of horse-feeding behaviour, common agricultural practices and a common sense approach. The investigation of potential plant poisonings is similar to finding a needle in a hay stack. One can gain considerable knowledge by walking a pasture and identifying the predominant plants that are growing, by collecting samples of plants the horses are eating and looking at stocking rates of the pastures. Samples can later be referred to experts or identified by viewing references. Many pastures have fence rows full of potentially poisonous plants.

Therefore, being knowledgeable about horse-eating behaviour and being able to identify the common pasture plants will help in the preliminary investigation of problems.

These mycotoxins are some of the most toxic substances in existence. Types of Mycotoxins Some of the different types of mycotoxins are: Aflatoxins (produced by Aspergillus) - includes Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and M2Ochratoxin - includes Ochratoxin A, B, and CTrichothecene (produced by Stachybotrys) - includes Satratoxin-H, Vomitoxin and T-2 mycotoxins Fumonisins - includes Fumonisin B1 and B2Zearalenone Killing Mycotoxins Mycotoxins aren't actually alive like mold spores. So when we talk about \"\"killing mycotoxins\"\" it really means breaking down mycotoxins and their toxicity so they are no longer dangerous to humans. Bleach with 5% sodium hypochlorite kills trichothecene mycotoxins as well as other mycotoxins including aflatoxin. It takes fire at 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) for half an hour or fire at 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes to destroy trichothecene mycotoxins. Ozone is supposed to kill most or all mycotoxins. However the level of ozone you need to kill mycotoxins is not safe for humans. So if you use an ozone generator there must be no one in the house. HEPA air filters are not effective at removing mycotoxins." }, { "docid": "D215160#0", "title": "http://www.clearskinforever.net/coffee-acne-does-coffee-trigger-acne/\nCoffee and Acne: Does Coffee Trigger Acne?", "text": "Coffee and Acne: Does Coffee Trigger Acne?

The aflatoxins are a group of chemically similar toxic fungal metabolites (mycotoxins) produced by certain moulds of the genus Aspergillus growing on a number of raw food commodities. Aflatoxins are highly toxic compounds and can cause both acute and chronic toxicity in humans and many other animals. Their importance was first established in 1960 when 100,000 turkeys and other poultry in the UK died in a single event. The cause of this was eventually traced to a toxic contaminant in groundnut meal used in the bird’s feed. The contaminant was later named aflatoxin. The aflatoxins consist of about 20 similar compounds belonging to a group called the difuranocoumarins, but only four are naturally found in foods. These are aflatoxins B 1, B 2, G 1 and G 2. Aflatoxin B 1 is the most commonly found in food and also the most toxic. When lactating cattle and other animals ingest aflatoxins in contaminated feed, toxic metabolites can be formed and may be present in milk." }, { "docid": "D602186#0", "title": "http://www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com/systemicyeastinfections.html\nSystemic Yeast Infections and Its Many Diseases", "text": "\"Systemic Yeast Infections and Its Many Diseases The diseases and problems of systemic yeast infections can be quite varied as well as life threatening. The reason for this is there are many different fungi that you can possibly get from foods, the environment, and the overgrowth of candida. These fungi release over 100 known mycotoxins (poisons) into the body. The mycotoxins can affect different parts of the body in seemingly unrelated ways. For example, one person may get adult acne, the next arthritis, and another person heart disease, fungi and their mycotoxins can cause all these illnesses. Systemic yeast infections are usually commonly caused by candida albicans or candida tropicalis from intestinal overgrowth, although many other common fungi can cause or mimic the same symptoms of these diseases and conditions. They can also be caused from airborne fungal spores such as asperigillus that is very common in rural and urban communities. People can be exposed in the workplace and the home to enormous numbers of these airborne fungi that do cause many respiratory infections and common allergies every year. Systemic Yeast Infection and The Experts Systemic yeast infection and fungal disease do not suffer from a shortage of scientific knowledge, but strangely, the twentieth century has very little knowledge of them.

Purpose The Equal Opportunity (EO) program formulates, directs, and sustains a comprehensive effort to maximize human potential and to ensure fair treatment for all persons based solely on merit, fitness, and capability in support of readiness. EO philosophy is based on fairness, justice, and equity. Commanders are responsible for sustaining a positive EO climate within their units. Specifically, the goals of the EO program are to—a. Provide EO for military personnel, and family members, both on and off post and within the limits of the laws of localities, states, and host nations.b. Create and sustain effective units by eliminating discriminatory behaviors or practices that undermine teamwork, mutual respect, loyalty, and shared sacrifice of the men and women of America's Army.6-2. Equal opportunity policya. The U. S. Army will provide EO and fair treatment for military personnel and family members without regare to race, color, gender, religion, national origin, and provide an environment free of unlawful discrimination and offensive behavior.

Apparently, it was something that was always involved in promotion ceremonies that my NCOIC attended at his previous units. My question to all of you is: have you ever seen this before?

The Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) and the Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course (ANCOC) provide leadership training to mid-career noncommissioned officers (NCO). The BNCOC is designed for staff sergeants with 8 to 10 years of service. The ANCOC is geared toward sergeants first class, with 10 to 14 years of service. Both courses are currently under transformation in order to accelerate development of the Army's enlisted Soldiers by migrating tasks down and training Soldiers earlier. The Advanced Leader's Course (ALC) will replace BNCOC, and the Senior Leader's Course (SLC) will replace ANCOC. On September 15, 2007, the Chief of Staff of the Army authorized the development of a Structured Self-Development Program (SSD) for NCOs. Under this plan, Soldiers will complete up to 80 hours of distributed learning instruction during the period between resident courses. The instruction contained in SSD will supplement residential institutional and unit training and will also cover topics not trained in another domain. Content for the ALC will include content required for success at both the squad and platoon level and will include relevant parts of the current ANCOC." }, { "docid": "D275069#0", "title": "https://www.army.mil/article/44456/\nPRT: The Army's new road map for physical readiness", "text": "\"1 / 9Show Caption +At the end of every PRT session, recovery gradually slows the heart rate and helps prevent pooling of the blood.

Claims submitted for dates of service from September 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009 without an NDC will not be denied. Claims with dates of service on or after April 1, 2009 that do not meet the NDC reporting requirements to include a valid NDC paired with a HCPCS code, will result in claims being denied. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) requires all state Medicaid agencies to collect rebates from drug manufacturers for physician-administered drugs. Only those products manufactured by companies participating in the federal Medicaid rebate program are reimbursable under Medi-Cal. A list of manufacturers participating in the rebate program, which changes periodically, is available in the Part 2 Medi-Cal pharmacy manual under Drugs: Contract Drugs List Part 5 – Authorized Manufacturer Labeler Codes. National Drug Code Description The NDC is a number that identifies a specific drug. The NDC number consists of 11 digits in a 5-4-2 format.

Every pharmacist is familiar with the NDC number, but if you’re not it’s basically a unique number assigned to each package of medication. It’s an 11 digit number in a 3-segment format, i.e. XXXXX-XXXX-XX. The first segment consists of five digits and indicates the manufacturer of the drug. The second segment is four digits used to identify the medication and strength. And the final segment of two digits represents the package size. Here’s a basic example: NDC number for Diovan (valsartan) 80mg capsules is 00083-4000-41. The 00083- identifies the manufacturer, in this case Novartis Pharmaceuticals. The -4000- identifies the drug, in this case 80mg valsartan (Diovan) capsules.

This hormone's secretion is in turn controlled by a feedback mechanism affected by the thyroid hormones themselves and by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), a tripeptide of hypothalamic origin. Endogenous thyroid hormone secretion is suppressed when exogenous thyroid hormones are administered to euthyroid individuals in excess of the normal gland's secretion. The mechanisms by which thyroid hormones exert their physiologic action are not well understood. These hormones enhance oxygen consumption by most tissues of the body, increase the basal metabolic rate, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Thus, they exert a profound influence on every organ system in the body and are of particular importance in the development of the central nervous system. The normal thyroid gland contains approximately 200 mcg of levothyroxine (T4) per gram of gland, and 15 mcg of liothyronine (T3) per gram.

Federal law requires all parties to \"\"consider Medicare’s interests\"\" in third party settlements. Under Section 1862 (b) (2) of the Social Security Act (42 U. S. C. §1395y (b) (2)), payment may not be made under Medicare for covered items or services to the extent that payment has been made, or can reasonably be expected to be made promptly, under a liability insurance policy or plan (including a self-insured plan). This means that Medicare could deny paying for a client's future medical care should he or she fail to properly consider and protect its interest in his or her settlement. One way to consider and protect Medicare is by following their guidelines as set forth by CMS (the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services), which most often entails the establishment of an MSA. Medicare’s ability to ensure that their interests are properly protected is not limited to just the Medicare beneficiary, but rather to anyone that receives any portion of a 3rd party payment either directly or indirectly (42 CFR §411.24). Below are descriptions of the types of MSAs and how they are used in individual situations. Medicare Set-Asides & Liability Settlements Unfortunately, there is nothing definitive from CMS on whether a Medicare Set-Aside (\"\"MSA\"\") 1 is needed to account for future medical expenses in the case of a liability settlement. While there is clear guidance from the CMS on the issue of whether or not to establish an MSA in a worker’s compensation case, there is no such guidance on the liability side of the law. Currently, there are twelve (12) memoranda from CMS about the use of MSAs in worker’s compensation cases and zero (0) memoranda about the use of MSAs in liability cases." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2603803#0", "title": "http://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/why-is-healthcare-so-expensive\nWhy Is Healthcare So Expensive?", "text": "Q: You co-authored a working paper, “ The Price Ain’t Right?

Nearly 2 years later, he built an independent family practice in Wisconsin to about 2,000 patients that he describes as “loyal and happy.” Yet Usher says he is starting to feel some of the same old pressures. “ You’re continuously looking at the bottom line and how many patients you are seeing a day and counting the dollars,” Usher says." }, { "docid": "D681258#0", "title": "https://www.startupbizhub.com/Starting-a-Medical-Equipment-Business.htm\nStarting a Medical Equipment Business", "text": "\"Starting a Medical Equipment Business245 comments 36 expert advice 126,151 views Health is always given a high priority in all respects - Current generation is conscious on having a periodic checkup and maintaining sound health.

S. C. §1395y and 42 C. F. R §411.20, et al. The purpose of the Medicare Set-Aside arrangement (MSA) is to provide funds to the injured party to pay for future medical expenses that would otherwise be covered by Medicare, known as “qualified medical expenses”. If the injured party incurs qualified medical expenses that exhaust the anticipated set-aside sum, Medicare will pay for allowable expenses in excess of the properly exhausted MSA funds. By establishing a Medicare Set-Aside Account, parties to a settlement are protecting Medicare’s interest and complying with the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. When should a MSA be submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)? ( CMS Workers‘ Compensation Review Thresholds)A WCMSA meets CMS’ criteria for review when: A. The Claimant is currently a Medicare beneficiary and the total settlement value is greater than $25,000. -or- B. The Claimant has a “reasonable expectation“ of Medicare enrollment within thirty (30) months of the settlement date and the anticipated total settlement amount for future medical expenses and disability/lost wages over the life or duration of the settlement agreement is expected to be greater than $250,000." }, { "docid": "D236871#0", "title": "https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2015/02/20/the-hidden-costs-of-being-an-uber-driver/\nThe hidden costs of being an Uber driver", "text": "A man leaves the headquarters of Uber in San Francisco.

Those are the dreams of many workers, especially those who have faced flat wages for years while paying more for essentials such as education, health care and housing. The sharing economy skips over the traditional economy and connects people who need a ride downtown, a leaky roof fixed or a cheap overnight accommodation via a central, online or app-based platform with people who will offer those services. The most well-known of these platforms – Uber, Task Rabbit and Airbnb – have this in common: They rely on independent contractors. To their self-employed workforces, they offer the prospect of making a lot of money. Also people work when they want; they are free to play hooky or go to their daughter’s soccer game. Last May Uber Technologies said on its blog that the median income for Uber X drivers was more than $74,000 a year in San Francisco. That figure attracted a lot of attention, though it turned out to be unsustainable. Uber’s no longer making those lofty claims – a more recent study commissioned by Uber reported that the typical Uber X and Uber Black drivers make about $19 an hour after paying Uber’s 20 percent commission (you would have to work about 80 hours a week to make $74,000 at that rate) – yet that hasn’t diminished the appeal of driving for Uber." }, { "docid": "D736946#0", "title": "http://www.cnbc.com/id/46795960\nDos and Donâts of Working After Retirement", "text": "Return on Retirement Dos and Don’ts of Working After Retirement Cheryl Winokur Munk,\|Special to CNBC.com Published 8:19 AM ET Tue, 22 May 2012 Updated 1:02 PM ET Sun, 2 Dec 2012CNBC.com Many people today want or need to work part time after they officially retire.

Gantwerker, MD, of The Craniospinal Center of Los Angeles, discusses the quality and cost benefits of performing spine surgery in ambulatory surgery centers and what it will take for Medicare to reimburse for these procedures in the future. Q: When will Medicare approve reimbursements for spine surgery in ambulatory surgery centers? Dr. Brian Gantwerker: I think it will be necessary for Medicare to start covering outpatient spine surgery in terms of a viable business model for healthcare. Surgery centers can perform minor spine operations, such as a minor spinal decompression and cervical procedures, safely and more cost effectively than in hospitals. If Medicare is serious about cost savings, they probably need to move some of these smaller procedures in carefully selected patients to an outpatient setting. It cost almost a tenth of the amount to do a lumbar microdiscectomy in a surgery center than a hospital; this is a real cost savings. Q: Covering spinal surgeries in outpatient ASCs seems intuitive from a cost and quality standpoint. Why are there still barriers for Medicare coverage?

Overview A nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan is an elective or non-elective plan, agreement, method, or arrangement between an employer and an employee (or service recipient and service provider) to pay the employee or independent contractor compensation in the future. In comparison with qualified plans, NQDC plans do not provide employers and employees with the tax benefits associated with qualified plans because NQDC plans do not satisfy all of the requirements of IRC § 401 (a). Under a nonqualified plan, employers generally only deduct expenses when income is recognized by the employee or service provider. In contrast, under a qualified plan, employers are entitled to deduct expenses in the year contributions are made even though employees will not recognize income until the later years upon receipt of distributions. Despite their many names, NQDC plans typically fall into four categories. Salary Reduction Arrangements simply defer the receipt of otherwise currently includible compensation by allowing the participant to defer receipt of a portion of his or her salary. Bonus Deferral Plans resemble salary reduction arrangements, except they enable participants to defer receipt of bonuses. Top-Hat Plans (aka Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans or SERPs) are NQDC plans maintained primarily for a select group of management or highly compensated employees." }, { "docid": "D216718#0", "title": "https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/personal-finance/hsa-healthy-habits\n3 healthy habits for health savings accounts", "text": "\"3 healthy habits for health savings accounts See 3 easy ways to make the most of your HSA—now and into your retirement.

Unlike health flexible spending accounts (FSAs), HSAs are not subject to the \"\"use-it-or-lose-it\"\" rule. Any unused funds may be used to pay for future qualified medical expenses. Once you reach age 65, you can also use your HSA to pay for COBRA and certain Medicare premiums as well as long-term care insurance. More and more employers are offering HSA-eligible health plans to their employees. These plans are also known as high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and are paired with health savings accounts (HSAs). If your company offers this option and you are not taking advantage of it, you may be missing an opportunity, as HSAs can play a valuable role in your financial wellness. In the past, you may have heard that HSAs were a convenient way to pay for out-of-pocket costs, such as doctor visits or prescriptions at your local pharmacy.

When referring to workers compensation and medicare the term “medicare set aside” often comes up in conversation. It is an interesting term in that it never amounts to the same thing, and the amount it offers is often up for debate. Medicare Set Aside is a portion of a workers compensation benefit package that is literally set aside for future payments. So lets assume for a second that you are a hurt worker who is in line for a workers compensation package. But If You Need More Coverage If you will need more medical care down the road, some amount of money will be set aside by medicare to take care of payments on future care. This means that less money will come through the pipe up front, but over time you will see it materialize and help you get yourself healthy. In regards to settlement amounts, and set aside amounts the math involved is so intricate that estimating a number would be quite difficult. For this reason it is important not to do so yourself.

Below we discuss everything single payer and answer many common questions about single payer healthcare. Defining Single Payer Health Care In terms of healthcare, the term “single payer” describes the funding mechanism (health care financed by a single public body from a single fund). Single payer does not specify the type of delivery, or for whom doctors work. Given this, there are many different types of single payer systems throughout the world that employ unique tactics in terms of insurance, delivery of services, and funding (to differing degrees of success).

The recommended method to protect Medicare’s interests is a Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-aside Arrangement (WCMSA), which allocates a portion of the WC settlement for future medical expenses. The amount of the set aside is determined on a case-by-case basis and should be reviewed by CMS, when appropriate. Once the CMS determined set aside amount is exhausted and accurately accounted for to CMS, Medicare will agree to pay primary for future Medicare covered expenses related to the WC injury. ”Future Medical Services The burden of future medical expenses in WC cases may not be shifted to Medicare. 42 C. F. R. § 411.46 and § 411.47 provide that Medicare’s interest must be considered in WC settlements, when future medical expenses are a component of the settlement. Because Medicare does not pay for an individual WC related medical services when the individual receives a WC settlement that includes funds for future medical expenses, it is in the best interest of the individual to consider Medicare at the time of settlement.

For example, if you have many DNS servers in your internal network, for example at branch offices, and two d NS servers at your main office, it usually makes sense to configure the branch office DNS servers as forwarders so that they forward to the main office DNS and take advantage of their cache. Now, with regard to your main office DNS servers, should you forward to your ISP, open public DNS, or use root hints? There is no right or wrong.

All computers deserve the protection of a firewall, whether it’s the thousands of servers and desktops that compose the network of a Fortune 500 company, a traveling salesperson’s laptop connecting to the wireless network of a coffee shop, or your grandmother’s new PC with a dial-up connection to the Internet. This article covers the design, deployment, and use of both network and host-based firewalls (also called personal firewalls). Although home users have traditionally used only host-based firewalls, recent trends in security exploits highlight the importance of using both types of firewalls together. Traditional firewall architectures protect only the perimeter of a network. However, once an attacker penetrates that perimeter, internal systems are completely unprotected. Hybrid worms, in particular, have penetrated corporate networks through email systems, and then have spread quickly to unprotected internal systems. Applying host-based firewalls to all systems, including those behind the corporate firewall, should now be standard practice.

Billions of neurotransmitters work constantly to keep our brains functioning, managing everything from our breathing to our heartbeat to our learning and concentration levels. How Neurotransmitters Work In most cases, a neurotransmitter is released from what's known as the axon terminal after an action potential has reached the synapse, a place where neurons can transmit signals to each other. After release, the neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic gap and attaches to the receptor site on the other neuron, either exciting or inhibiting the receiving neuron depending on what the neurotransmitter is. Once the neurotransmitter has had the designed effect, its activity can be stopped by different mechanisms. It can be degraded or deactivated by enzymes, it can drift away from the receptor, or the neurotransmitter can be taken back up by the axon of the neuron that released it in a process know as reuptake. Neurotransmitters play a major role in everyday life and functioning. Scientists do not yet know exactly how many neurotransmitters exist, but more than 100 chemical messengers have been identified. When neurotransmitters are affected by disease or drugs, there can be a number of different adverse effects on the body. Diseases such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and Parkinson's are associated with deficits in certain neurotransmitters." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3117389#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/3022636/synapses-flash-cards/\nSynapses", "text": "25 terms Kluoma100Synapses Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Synapse A specialized region of contact and communication between a neuron and its target Synapse plasticity synapses can change over time.

What makes up a neuron? There are three basic parts in a neuron: soma, axon, and dendrites. The soma is the cell body that contains the nucleus and many of the organelles found in other types of cells (ribosomes, chromosomes, Golgi apparatus, etc, but no centrioles). The axon is a single long tube that extends from the soma with multiple branchings at the end of it. The main function of the axon is to carry a message from the soma to the terminal buttons, which are the structures at the end of the axon that release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.

There are many types of chemicals that act as neurotransmitters in the human body and the way that foods may affect these chemicals is important to understanding the possible role of diet in developmental disorders. Neurotransmitters travel across a synapse to bind to a postsynaptic receptor protein; each neurotransmitter binds only to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. There are a number of types of receptors for different neurotransmitters. This binding eventually brings about a change in the electrical state of the postsynaptic cell either exciting or inhibiting it. The action can be decreased or neutralized in a number of ways including: glial cells, which remove neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft; reuptake, where the chemical is taken back to the axon that released it; blocking, whereby the flow by substances that attach to specific receptors is blocked; and by prolonged exposure to the neurotransmitter. INTRODUCTIONIn this section we discuss only a few of many neurotransmitters focusing on those that may have possible relevance to developmental disorders. Such neurotransmitters include: acetycholine, which is involved in muscle contractions and in diseases such as myasthenia gravis; serotonin (5-HT), which is found in greatest concentration in the gastrointestinal tract and is involved in sensory perception, mood control, depression, impulsivity, aggression, and other behavior problems; dopamine, which is involved in reward or reinforcement, in problems in cognition, and in diseases such as Parkinson's disease, mood disorders, and schizophrenia; norepinephrine, which helps regulate arousal and moods, excites gastrointestinal activity, and modulates endocrine function (e.g., insulin secretion); epinephrine or adrenalin, which is involved in vasoconstriction and dilation, relaxation of smooth muscles of the intestine (thus inhibiting intestinal motility), and endocrine function. The amino acids GABA and glutamate also act as neurotransmitters. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter reducing anxiety; glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter and is involved in memory formation and in ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease." }, { "docid": "D1984277#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/5432144/nervous-system-flash-cards/\nNervous system", "text": "\"81 terms collingwood_key PLUSNervous system Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The neurotransmitter is released into the syynaptic cleft from the presynaptic neurone. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the gap and attaches to receptors in the post synaptic membrane. If sufficient neurotransmitter attaches to the membrane (the threshold), the electrical impulse can pass across the synapse. The neurotransmitter substance is removed after the impulse passes to prevent its continued action ie may cause a muscle to constantly twitch and to free the post synaptic receptors to allow the next nerve impulse to cross the gap. Neurotransmitters can be removed by degradation by enzymes and by reabsorption by the presynaptic membrane." }, { "docid": "D1674890#0", "title": "https://www.boundless.com/biology/textbooks/boundless-biology-textbook/the-musculoskeletal-system-38/muscle-contraction-and-locomotion-218/atp-and-muscle-contraction-826-12069/\nMuscle Contraction and Locomotion", "text": "Structure and Function of the Muscular System The muscular system controls numerous functions, which is possible with the significant differentiation of muscle tissue morphology and ability.

Fyffe 1 Topic: Explain the process of communication between neurons Authors: Denise N. Fyffe Introduction Playing cricket, watching soap operas, and remembering our first date is all possible because neurons communicate with one another. Synaptic transmission is the process by which neurons communicate across gaps. A neuron conveys a neural impulse to another neuron or a gland, muscle or sensory organ to create this transmission. In order to fully understand synaptic transmission we must first look at its chemical nature. Neurons secret chemicals, that provides the means of synaptic transmission. These chemicals are termed as neurotransmitters. One such neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. Otto Loewi an Austrian physiologist who after having a dream performed an experiment using two frog hearts identified this chemical. In 1921, Otto Loewi removed the beating heart from a freshly killed frog and placed it in a solution of salt water. He electrically stimulated the vagus nerve to the heart, and this caused it to beat slower." }, { "docid": "D49172#0", "title": "https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/chnt1.html\nNeuroscience For Kids", "text": "\"Neuroscience For Kids Neurotransmitters and Neuroactive Peptides Communication of information between neurons is accomplished by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the synapse. Chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are released from one neuron at the presynaptic nerve terminal. Neurotransmitters then cross the synapse where they may be accepted by the next neuron at a specialized site called a receptor. The action that follows activation of a receptor site may be either depolarization (an excitatory postsynaptic potential) or hyperpolarization (an inhibitory postsynaptic potential). A depolarization makes it MORE likely that an action potential will fire; a hyperpolarization makes it LESS likely that an action potential will fire. Discovery of Neurotransmitters In 1921, an Austrian scientist named Otto Loewi discovered the first neurotransmitter. In his experiment (which came to him in a dream), he used two frog hearts. One heart (heart #1) was still connected to the vagus nerve. Heart #1 was placed in a chamber that was filled with saline.

Neurons in every region of the brain use GABA to fine-tune neurotransmission. Increasing GABA at the neuronal synapse inhibits the generation of the action potential of the neuron, thereby making it less likely to excite nearby neurons. A single neuron may have thousands of other neurons synapsing onto it. Some of these release activating (or depolarizing) neurotransmitters; others release inhibitory (or hyperpolarizing) neurotransmitters. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it decreases the neuron's action potential. When the action potential drops below a certain level, known as the threshold potential, the neuron will not generate action potentials and thus not excite nearby neurons. The nucleus of a neuron is located in the cell body. Extending out from the cell body are dendrites and axons. Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body, Axons conducting impulses away from the cell body." } ]

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting which is causing the rise in the sea level. When the level of the sea rises, it causes danger to the people living in the low lying areas. When the level of the sea rises, it covers the plants and causes some of them to die. When they die, animals lose their main source of food. We, human beings lose our two sources of food, plants and animals. It may also force people to lose their homes. In other words, the whole chain will get affected if nothing is done on time to stop global warming from spreading its wings. With the global temperature increasing by 3%, many believe that global warming is on the climb." }, { "docid": "D1348245#0", "title": "https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-determine-the-scientific-consensus-on-global-warming/\nHow to Determine the Scientific Consensus on Global Warming", "text": "\"Sustainability How to Determine the Scientific Consensus on Global Warming An academic feud swirls around how best or even whether to express the scientific consensus around climate change By Gayathri Vaidyanathan, Climate Wire on July 24, 2014The climate debate is now ethical and political; it comes down to what Americans are willing to do today to address a problem that will largely affect their grandchildren. Credit: Ron Cogswell via Flickr Academic disputes are different from bar fights. At a House hearing last month, someone suggested to Sarah Green she meet Richard Tol, a climate change economist who had attacked her research moments before in front of a panel of lawmakers. Green declined politely, with a wry smile. Tol, a professor of economics at Britain's University of Sussex, had no idea Green was in the hearing room. The two have never met, although they have been tussling in obscure journals. The point of contention is a peer-reviewed study published last year by Green, a chemistry professor at Michigan Technological University; John Cook, a research fellow at the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland in Australia; and 10 other scientists who blog under the collective name of Skeptical Science. The scientists examined 4,014 abstracts on climate change and found 97.2 percent of the papers assumed humans play a role in global warming ( Climate Wire, May 16, 2013). That statement quickly got boiled down in the popular media to a much simpler message: that 97 percent of scientists believe climate change is caused by humans. President Obama tweeted the 97 percent consensus." }, { "docid": "D2013220#0", "title": "https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/weather-channel-founder-man-made-global-warming-baloney\nWeather Channel Founder: Man-Made Global Warming is âBaloneyâ", "text": "\"Weather Channel Founder: Man-Made Global Warming is ‘Baloney’By Patrick Goodenough \| November 2, 2014 \| 8:42 PM ESTWeather Channel founder John Coleman (Screenshot: CNN) (CNSNews.com) – On the same day that the U.

Patrick Moore Denies Human-Caused Climate Change In Testimony Moore Claims There Is \"\"No Scientific Proof\"\" That Humans Are \"\"Dominant Cause\"\" Of Global Warming. On February 25, Patrick Moore, who used to work at Greenpeace before becoming a communications consultant for the nuclear and fossil fuel energy industries, testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to deny that humans are the dominant cause of climate change: There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years. If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists. [ U. S.

Some believe that the earth will actually benefit if the climate continues to grow warmer. Others insist that the opposite is true, saying that if the planet continues to heat up, the effects will be catastrophic. NASA sums up these very different perspectives: Many see [global warming] as a harbinger of what is to come. If we don't curb our greenhouse gas emissions, then low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent. . . . On the other hand, there are those, some of whom are scientists, who believe that global warming will result in little more than warmer winters and increased plant growth. They point to the flaws in scientists' measurements, the complexity of the climate, and the uncertainty in the climate models used to predict climate change. They claim that attempting to lower greenhouse emissions may do more damage to the world economy and human society than any amount of global warming. In truth, the future probably fits somewhere between these two scenarios. 30How Predictions Are Made The climate models to which NASA refers are powerful computer programs used to simulate climate and predict future climate changes." }, { "docid": "D2458703#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2500\nEnvironmental Issues", "text": "\"Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Ecology and Bionomics Environmental Issues Unanswered \| Answered Environmental Issues Parent Category: Ecology and Bionomics Information about climatic changes; changes in the environment; and saving the environment.

Starlings occur naturally only in the Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa), some forms as far east as Australia, but several European and Asian species have been introduced to North America and Australia. They are medium-sized passerines with strong feet. Their flight is strong and direct, and they are very gregarious. Their preferred habitat is fairly open country, and they eat insects and fruit. Several species live around habitation, and are effectively omnivores.

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.

Atticus Finch, the southern lawyer, widower and father of two so beautifully brought to life by Gregory Peck in Robert Mulligan's adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, turned my expectations upside down and presented me with a bona fide role model, someone whose qualities and actions could actively be applied to my own life. Standing 6ft 3in tall, impeccably turned out in a three-piece suit and given to dispensing life-enhancing wisdom seemingly with every utterance, Finch captivated me with his measured, intelligent espousal of the importance of equality, democracy and justice for all. Though the specifics were different and not nearly as devastating as the events portrayed in Mockingbird, my own experiences of witnessing and, at times, being subjected to small-town mentalities and ingrained prejudices saw Finch gain instant hero status in my eyes." }, { "docid": "D2066352#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_texas_state_bird_and_the_state_flower\nWhat is the state flower and state bird of Nevada?", "text": "Joseph A Elisa 2 1,911 Contributions What is the state flower and state bird of Nevada?

The tan, brown, or gray background color is typically overlaid by a variable pattern of black, dark brown, or reddish brown crossbands and blotches on the back and sides. Complete crossbands usually predominate on the forward third of the body, breaking up into smaller, often alternating \"\"saddles\"\" and side blotches towards the tail. The blotched pattern may become obscured by dark pigment over time, and older adult Northern Water Snakes can appear solid brown or black, particularly when their skin is dry. At least a hint of the blotched pattern is often visible when they are wet. The white, yellowish, or orangish belly is usually marked with a pattern of reddish brown half-moon-shaped spots, sometimes interspersed with, or grading into, grayish or brownish speckling. There are 21 to 25 scale rows at midbody; the scales are keeled, and the anal plate is divided. Total adult length: 61 to 140.5 cm (24 to 55.3 in). Males are, on average, smaller than females, and have proportionally longer tails. In males the subcaudal (undertail) scutes number from 66 to 84, with the tail length representing 23 percent to 29 percent of the total length; females have from 42 to 77 subcaudal scutes, and their tails make up 20 percent to 25 percent of their total length." } ]	[ { "docid": "D36485#0", "title": "https://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/wildlife/livingwith/snakes/frequently_asked_questions.html\nFrequently asked questions", "text": "Frequently asked questions Snake identification Keeping snakes away from your home Snake encounters Snake myths General snake information Snake identification Are all snakes in Queensland venomous? No, not all snakes are venomous. Queensland is home to about 120 species of snakes. About 65% of these are venomous. Venom production is a characteristic of two groups of snakes; the front-fanged snakes (elapids) and some of the rear-fanged snakes (colubrids). The elapids consist of 23 species of sea snakes and 51 species of land snakes, including some of the world's most venomous land snakes such as the taipan, brown snake and king brown snake (also known as mulga snake). Five species of colubrid snakes, including the brown tree snake, produce weak venom delivered through fangs at the back of the mouth. Venom delivery is poor and these snakes do not pose a threat to human life. Five other species of colubrid snakes, including the common tree snake, do not have fangs or venom.

They kill their prey by constricting it, using their strong muscles and coiled bodies to suffocate their prey before eating. Unlike elapids and vipers, boas and pythons are nonvenomous. They are frequently kept as pets due to their docile nature and easy care. Here are some key differences between Boas and Pythons: Pythons are found in Africa, in the tropics just south of the Sahara Desert. They can also be found in Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Some pythons live on the Indonesian islands and Malaysia. However, most pythons in the United States are bred as pets; while they could survive and thrive in places like the Florida everglades, it is important to keep these snakes in captivity so they do not become a huge problem for the other animals that live in these subtropical regions. Boas are found in Mexico, Central and South America, and Madagascar.

The Maryland Zoo has three leopard tortoises on exhibit in its African Journey exhibit — two males and one female. “How I live there”Leopard tortoises are well adapted to the semi-arid conditions of the savannah, and do not tolerate damp or cold well. Their days are geared to the fluctuating temperatures of their arid environment. As with all arid regions, the African savannah experiences extreme temperature fluctuations over a 24-hour period. It gets very hot during the day when the sun is burning brightest, but cools off considerably when the sun goes down.

Hibernation is a process that increases the chance of survival when cold temperature, a lack of food sources, or a low water supply are causing an animal to expend more energy than what it takes in. Technically, only mammals hibernate. Those that hibernate produce a substance called hibernation inducement trigger (HIT), which causes them to go into hibernation. Their body temperature lowers dramatically, and their respiratory rate and pulse also markedly decrease. While in the state of hibernation, they live off of their fat supplies.

When purchasing a home, transferring a car, providing power of attorney, authorizing consent for a minor to travel abroad, or executing other important transactions, it’s essential that everyone can trust the documents and your signature. The notary public is a commissioned representative of a state government and is charged with verifying your identity as the signer, ensuring you sign under your own free will, and witnessing the signing event. Their role is to prevent fraud, to ensure the appropriate people execute documents freely and to verify transactions after the fact. Institutions rely upon notaries so they may have full faith in important documents. After witnessing a signing, a notary public applies their own details, such as their signature, seal, and notary commission details. These materials serve as a means of verifying the transaction so others may rely upon it.

A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by state government —typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. Notaries are publicly commissioned as “ministerial” officials, meaning that they are expected to follow written rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a “judicial” official. What Does A Notary Do? A Notary's duty is to screen the signers of important documents for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction. Some notarizations also require the Notary to put the signer under an oath, declaring under penalty of perjury that the information contained in a document is true and correct. Property deeds, wills and powers of attorney are examples of documents that commonly require a Notary. Impartiality is the foundation of the Notary's public trust.

A signature is a mark that identifies the individual who created it. It commonly spells out a person’s name. Unless otherwise legally expressed, a signature can be written with loops, ascenders, descenders, special characters or signs, as long as it remains consistent from contract to contract.

The notary public is an official who verifies the identities of everybody signing the document, witnesses the signatures, and marks the document with a stamp (or “seal”). A notary is supposed to ensure that all signatures on a document are legitimate. Identity verification: A notary requires identification from anybody signing a document, and will record details about the identification documents used by each individual. Willing signers: Notaries look for signs of coercion. Even if you don't like what's in a document, are you signing on your own free will, or is somebody forcing you to sign? Capable of sound decisions: A notary wants to make sure that signers are in a condition where they can truly understand what they’re signing.

The introductory word will always rename the word that it follows and modifies except when used with a preposition which will come between the introductory word and the word it renames. Examples: The student whose hand was up gave the wrong answer. Whose hand was up is the adjective clause with whose, the relative pronoun, renaming and modifying student.

A dependent clause (also called a subordinate clause) is a clause that relies on the information from an independent clause to form a complete, logical thought. As such, it cannot stand on its own to form a sentence. There are three types of dependent clause: noun clauses, relative clauses (also called adjective clauses ), and adverbial clauses. Forming Dependent Clauses A clause, whether it is dependent or independent, always consists of two parts—a subject and a predicate (though the subject can be implied in certain situations). The predicate consists of a verb or verb phrase (a verb and any objects or modifiers relating to it), while the subject consists of a noun, a pronoun, or a phrase containing either. Dependent clauses are usually marked by dependent words, such as subordinating conjunctions or relative pronouns. Here are some examples of dependent clauses:“ whenever I travel”“ whom we met on the plane”“ that they like to eat sushi”We can see that each of the examples above is a clause, because they each have a subject ( I, we, and they) and a predicate ( travel, met on the plane, and like to eat sushi ). However, we can also see that they are dependent, as they do not express a complete idea—they require independent clauses to be logically complete:“ Whenever I travel, I like to stay in fancy hotels. ”“We struck up a great conversation with a person whom we met on the plane .”“She found it strange that they like to eat sushi .”Functions of Dependent Clauses Because dependent clauses must be a part of or attached to an independent clause, they serve a variety of grammatical functions." }, { "docid": "D181151#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_grammar\nTagalog grammar", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Filipino grammar)navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

My sister, who is much older than I am, is an engineer. If an adjective clause is stripped of its subject and verb, the resulting modifier becomes an Adjective Phrase: He is the man who is keeping my family in the poorhouse. A group of related words can act as a single noun-like entity within a sentence. A Noun Clause contains a subject and verb and can do anything that a noun can do: What he does for this town is a blessing.

A gerund is the “-ing” form of a verb when it functions grammatically as a noun in a sentence. Gerunds are identical in appearance to present participles, but they are not used to form tenses of the verb or provide adjectival information. Gerunds can either stand alone, or they can take a noun (the object of the gerund) and/or modifier (s) to form a gerund phrase. Functions in a sentence Because they act like nouns, gerunds can be used as the subject of a sentence, the subject complement of the linking verb be, the object of a preposition, or the object of a verb. They can also be used to form compound nouns. As the subject Just like a normal noun, a gerund or gerund phrase can be the subject of a sentence.

Divergences from the grammar described here occur in some dialects of English. This article describes a generalized present-day Standard English, the form of speech and writing found in types of public discourse including broadcasting, education, entertainment, government, and news including both formal and informal speech. There are differences in grammar between the standard forms of British, American, and Australian English, although these are minor compared with the differences in vocabulary and pronunciation. Modern English has largely abandoned the inflectional case system of Indo-European in favor of analytic constructions. The personal pronouns of Modern English retain morphological case more strongly than any other word class (a remnant of the more extensive case system of Old English ). For other pronouns, and all nouns, adjectives, and articles, grammatical function is indicated only by word order, by prepositions, and by the \"\" Saxon genitive \"\" ( -'s ).

These are the patterns for a prepositional phrase: Preposition + Noun, Pronoun, Gerund, or Clause Preposition + Modifier (s) + Noun, Pronoun, Gerund, or Clause Here are some examples of the most basic prepositional phrase: At home At = preposition; home = noun. In time In = preposition; time = noun. From Richie From = preposition; Richie = noun. With me With = preposition; me = pronoun. By singing By = preposition; singing = gerund.

A relative clause is a kind of subordinate clause that contains an element whose interpretation is provided by an antecedent on which the subordinate clause is grammatically dependent; that is, there is an anaphora relation between the relativized element in the relative clause and the antecedent on which it depends. [ 1]Typically, a relative clause modifies a noun or noun phrase, [1] and uses some grammatical device to indicate that one of the arguments within the relative clause has the same referent as that noun or noun phrase. For example, in the sentence I met a man who wasn't there, the subordinate clause who wasn't there is a relative clause, since it modifies the noun man, and uses the pronoun who to indicate that the same \"\"man\"\" is referred to within the subordinate clause (in this case, as its subject ). In many European languages, relative clauses are introduced by a special class of pronouns called relative pronouns, [2] such as who in the example just given. In other languages, relative clauses may be marked in different ways: they may be introduced by a special class of conjunctions called relativizers; the main verb of the relative clause may appear in a special morphological variant; or a relative clause may be indicated by word order alone. [ 3] In some languages, more than one of these mechanisms may be possible.

They are:WhoWhomWhoseWhichThatA Word of Caution:Sometimes these words function as dependent signals, but sometimes they donï¿½t.Example:How did you come up with that? (\"\"That\"\" doesnï¿½t introduce a clause. It identifies something. If you really want to know, it is a demonstrative pronoun. But donï¿½t worry your noggin about that now. Just be aware that these dependent signals can sometimes do other things.)Letï¿½s look at a couple of examples:I love sentences which extol the virtues of English teachers. (The adjective clause is underlined. It modifies the object \"\"sentences.\"\")Students whom I admire want to become English teachers. (Again, the adjective clause is underlined and modifies the subject \"\"students.\"\")RememberA noun is a subject or an object, so adjectives will always modify subjects or objects.Letï¿½s look at these sentences a little more closely.I love sentences which extol the virtues of English teachers. (The verb of this clause is \"\"extol.\"\" The subject is \"\"which\"\" because it stands for \"\"sentences.\"\")Students whom I admire want to become English teachers. (The verb of this clause is \"\"admire.\"\" The subject of the clause is \"\"I.\"\" The object is \"\"whom.\"\")If you are well fed, well rested, and psychologically at peace with yourself, you have no doubt come to an astonishing realization.Dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses perform a double duty. They introduce the clause and they also function inside the clause as a subject or object.Therefore, I call these little devils (sorry, I mean these relative pronouns), double duty dependent signals.Again, the double duty dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses are:WhoWhomWhoseWhichThatBut what about these examples?The grade I received was a shock. (We donï¿½t see any dependent signal do we? But we know we have two clauses because we have two subject-verb combinationsï¿½\"\"grade/was,\"\" \"\"I/received.\"\")The book I borrowed was full of grammatical wisdom. (No dependent signal here either. But we have two subject verb combinationsï¿½\"\"book/was\"\" and \"\"I/borrowed\"\"ï¿½so we know we have two clauses.)Look at them now:The grade [that] I received was a shock.The book [that] I borrowed was full of grammatical wisdom. (Hereï¿½s the point. Sometimes the dependent signal [usually \"\"that\"\"] is implied. Mentally insert it, and the sentence will be easier to analyze.)Thereï¿½s only one more thing about adjective clauses that you need to know. Itï¿½s something youï¿½ve never, ever understood, and Iï¿½m going to explain it so that youï¿½ll never, ever forget it. (So try to contain your joy!)Some adjective clauses need to be set off by commas and others donï¿½t.Now hereï¿½s the part youï¿½ve never understoodï¿½ non-restrictive clauses need commas andrestrictive clauses donï¿½t.\"\"What in the Sam Hill is the difference?\"\" you say.It is this:Some adjective clauses are like gossip, they provide additional detail about someone (or something) whose identity we already know. Put commas around those.Examples:My English teacher, who wears old fashioned ties, is laughed at by the students. (The adjective clause is underlined. It doesnï¿½t identify the English teacher; it just provides a gossipy sort of detail about him. Set these off with commas.)My English book, which is a monument of boredom, is used mainly as a door stop. (Once again, the adjective clause is underlined. It doesnï¿½t identify the English book, it just provides a gossipy, editorial comment about it. Set this clause off with a comma.)Now take a look at these:The English teachers that I like best forget to go to class. (This isnï¿½t pure gossip any longer. The writer doesnï¿½t like all English teachers equally well. The adjective clause identifies which ones he likes best. Because it helps identify, donï¿½t set if off with commas. )Anyone who reads all of this will go away happier and wiser. (Once again, this clause identifies who will go away happier and wiser.

The harbor and its seafaring history still shape life in the city, and you'll find many of the things to do in Halifax - from its rollicking entertainment scene, infused with maritime music, to its museums and tourist attractions - relate in some way to its close relationship with the sea.

Were a runner to be wearing oversized floppy red clown shoes, that runner would not be near as fast or effective in his run as if he were to wear a pair of good running shoes. His performance would even be further enhanced were he to buy something that was made for his particular type of run - sprinting on a track, going long distances, trail running, etc. The same is true for golf clubs. Prior to moving from the Midwest to California to pursue my golf dreams, I traded in the cheap set of clubs that I had bought from Wal-Mart for a nice new set of Callaway X-12s through Golf MD in Lenexa, Kansas. Right away I noticed a difference in performance because the clubs were custom fit to my body and swing style in regard to the club length, lie angles, and shaft flex. When I arrived in California in January 2003, I bought a membership at Lost Canyons Golf Club in Simi Valley.

Many managers think of ethics as a question of personal scruples, a confidential matter between individuals and their consciences. These executives are quick to describe any wrongdoing as an isolated incident, the work of a rogue employee. The thought that the company could bear any responsibility for an individual’s misdeeds never enters their minds. Ethics, after all, has nothing to do with management. In fact, ethics has everything to do with management. Rarely do the character flaws of a lone actor fully explain corporate misconduct. More typically, unethical business practice involves the tacit, if not explicit, cooperation of others and reflects the values, attitudes, beliefs, language, and behavioral patterns that define an organization’s operating culture. Ethics, then, is as much an organizational as a personal issue. Managers who fail to provide proper leadership and to institute systems that facilitate ethical conduct share responsibility with those who conceive, execute, and knowingly benefit from corporate misdeeds. Managers must acknowledge their role in shaping organizational ethics and seize this opportunity to create a climate that can strengthen the relationships and reputations on which their companies’ success depends." }, { "docid": "D1659140#0", "title": "http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada/thanksgiving-day\nThanksgiving Day in Canada", "text": "\"Thanksgiving Day in Canada Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday on the second Monday of October since 1957.

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) can be engineered to bind to practically any desired DNA sequence, so when combined with a nuclease, DNA can be cut at specific locations. [ 1] The restriction enzymes can be introduced into cells, for use in gene editing or for genome editing in situ, a technique known as genome editing with engineered nucleases.

The structure of part of a DNA double helix Deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Along with RNA and proteins, DNA is one of the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Genetic information is encoded as a sequence of nucleotides ( guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine) recorded using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are double-stranded helices, consisting of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars ( deoxyribose) and phosphate groups (related to phosphoric acid), with the nucleobases (G, A, T, C) attached to the sugars. DNA is well-suited for biological information storage, since the DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage and the double-stranded structure provides the molecule with a built-in duplicate of the encoded information. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel, one backbone being 3' (three prime) and the other 5' (five prime).

The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of cells it contains. For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types. Some of these cells absorb nutrients from the digestive contents, whereas others (called goblet cells) secrete a lubricating mucus that helps the contents travel smoothly. However, the multiple cell types within a tissue don't just have different functions. They also have different transcriptional programs and may well divide at different rates. Proper regulation of these rates is essential to tissue maintenance and repair. The spatial organization of the cells that form a tissue is also central to the tissue's function and survival. This organization depends in part on polarity, or the orientation of particular cells in their place.

Hilary is actually correct, nucleases are enzymes that break the chemical bonds between nucleotides in DNA or RNA. \"\" Digestion\"\" is one way of describing this process, since digesting food involves breaking down into smaller and smaller particles, from the big bite of food you put in your mouth to individual sugars, amino acids, etc. Molecular biologists do use digestion to describe the activity of nucleases, so it is an appropriate word to use here. Note that nucleases occur in all cells and are involved in processes like DNA replication and proofreading, and the \"\"digestion\"\" does not necessarily occur circumstances related to eating. We do, however, use nucleases to breakdown and neutralize foreign DNA and RNA. We take in genetic material from the food we eat as well as from bacteria and viruses that regularly enter our body. One way that we keep this foreign DNA from interfering with the activity of our own cells is by using nucleases to break it apart (to digest it, in other words).ceddog86 · 8 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating The answer is e, none of the above." }, { "docid": "D1530351#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/doc/54504988/Genome-Organization-in-Eukaryotes\nANIMAL GENOMICS Genomics is the development and application of new mapping, sequencing, and computational procedures for the", "text": "ANIMAL GENOMICS Genomics is the development and application of new mapping, sequencing, and computational procedures for theanalysis of the entire genome of organisms. It deals with the systematic molecular characterization of genomes. Some of the methods used are traditional genetic-mapping procedures; in addition, specialized techniques have been developed for manipulating the large amounts of DNA in a genome. Genomic analysis is important for two reasons: (1) it represents a way of obtaining an overview of the genetic architecture of an organism and (2) it forms a set of basic information that can be used to find new genes such as those responsible for disease. Genomic analysis generally proceeds from low-resolution analysis to techniques with higher resolution. Genomics is divided into three basic areas: structural genomics, characterizing the physical nature of whole genomes; functional genomics, characterizing the gene and nongene sequences in entire genome and Comparative genomics: better understanding of function including evolutionary relationships. Structural Genomics: As its name suggests, the aim of structural genomics is to characterize the structure of the genome. Knowledge of the structure of an individual genome can be useful in manipulating genes and DNA segments in that particular species. For example, genes can be cloned on the basis of knowing where they are in the genome. When a number of genomes have been characterized at the structural level, the hope is that, through comparative genomics, it will become possible to deduce the general rules that govern the overall structural organization of all genomes." }, { "docid": "D2557567#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/doc/48656719/History-of-Northern-blotting\nNORTHERN BLOTTING", "text": "NORTHERN BLOTTINGHistory of Northern blotting [1] • • • Is one type of blotting for the RNA detection with labeled DNA probes.

Background information of Northern Blotting Technique [1] • Northern analysis despite its age in the high tech world of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nuclease protection assays (RPAs) and microarrays, is still the gold-standard for the detection and quantitation of m RNA levels. The reason is it allows a direct comparison of the messenger RNA (m RNA) abundance (amount of m RNA present in sample) between samples on a single membrane. The main difference of Northern blotting from other techniques is that RNA is the factor that used to be detected. RNA is separated out by: RNA gel electrophoresis (usually argarose) Subsequent transfer to membrane Hybridization with probe Detection For the hybridization probes it may be DNA or RNA in northern blotting similar to Southern Blotting. A variant of the procedure known as the reverse northern blot was occasionally (although infrequently) used.

It consists of about 166 bp of DNA wound in two left-handed superhelical turns around a wedge-shaped histone octamer (a tetramer, H32H42, of histones H3 and H4, flanked by two H2A. H2B dimers), a length of linker DNA which may vary from effectively zero (yeast, mammalian cortical neurons) to 74 bp (sea urchin sperm) and defining the repeat length of the chromatin (~170 to 40 bp), and one molecule of linker histone (H1 or one of its variants; see Histones). Nucleosomes are responsible for the familiar beaded appearance of chromatin seen in the electron microscope. The nucleosome is a wedge-shaped disk, about 110 A in diameter and about 55 A high, with a pseudo-dyad axis of symmetry close to which the entering and exiting DNA duplexes lie. Nucleosomes (and runs of two, three, etc, nucleosomes) may be excised from chromatin by cleavage in the more accessible linker DNA using, for example, the double-stranded endonuclease micrococcal nuclease (Staphylococcal nuclease) and then fractionated by sedimentation velocity centrifugation through sucrose gradients. Further digestion of mononucleosomes with micrococcal nuclease, which has exonuclease as well as endonuclease activity, proceeds in two stages. First, the DNA is trimmed to ~166bp, at which point histone H1 presents a barrier to further digestion and a metastable particle termed the \"\"chromatosome\"\" is produced. Further digestion of the chromatosome trims the DNA further, causing loss of histone H1, presumably as its binding site close to the nucleosome core is invaded, and then trims the DNA back to 146 bp, where contacts with the octamer block further digestion. The limit product of digestion is the nucleosome core particle whose structure is now known at high resolution (see text below). Protection by histone H1 in the chromatosome was believed to be symmetric, with 10 bp protected at each end of the core particle." }, { "docid": "D732518#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-homologous_end_joining\nNon-homologous end joining", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) in mammals during DNA double-strand break Non-homologous end joining ( NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double-strand breaks in DNA. NHEJ is referred to as \"\"non-homologous\"\" because the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template, in contrast to homology directed repair, which requires a homologous sequence to guide repair. The term \"\"non-homologous end joining\"\" was coined in 1996 by Moore and Haber. [ 1]NHEJ typically utilizes short homologous DNA sequences called microhomologies to guide repair. These microhomologies are often present in single-stranded overhangs on the ends of double-strand breaks. When the overhangs are perfectly compatible, NHEJ usually repairs the break accurately. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] Imprecise repair leading to loss of nucleotides can also occur, but is much more common when the overhangs are not compatible. Inappropriate NHEJ can lead to translocations and telomere fusion, hallmarks of tumor cells.

Fundamental tenets of the theory are: A large part, but not all, of the newly synthesized DNA exists in short pieces (relative to the parental molecule). None of the nascent DNA is covalently attached to parental strands. DNA polymerase is responsible for DNA biosynthesis. The π proteins act in concert with an ATP-dependent replication-nuclease which inserts single-stranded nicks in the double-stranded DNA so that the two parental strands may be unwound and separated. The ATP is required first to activate the nuclease in an allosteric manner and then to provide the energy to close the nick; the nuclease can dissociate from the DNA only after the nick has been repaired.

Prior to CRISPR, genome engineering approaches like zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) or transcription-activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) required scientists to design and generate a new nuclease pair for every genomic target. Due to its comparative simplicity and adaptability, CRISPR has rapidly become the most popular genome engineering approach. Engineered CRISPR systems contain two components: a guide RNA (g RNA or sg RNA) and a CRISPR-associated endonuclease (Cas protein). The g RNA is a short synthetic RNA composed of a scaffold sequence necessary for Cas-binding and a user-defined ∼20 nucleotide spacer that defines the genomic target to be modified. Thus, one can change the genomic target of the Cas protein by simply changing the target sequence present in the g RNA. CRISPR was originally employed to knock out target genes in various cell types and organisms, but modifications to various Cas enzymes have extended CRISPR to selectively activate/repress target genes, purify specific regions of DNA, image DNA in live cells, and precisely edit DNA and RNA. Furthermore, the ease of generating g RNAs makes CRISPR one of the most scalable genome editing technologies. This advantage makes CRISPR perfect for genome-wide screens.

What Is CRISPR-Cas Technology? Short RNAs can be used to guide nuclease proteins to targets within complex eukaryotic genomes with high specificity, based upon a naturally occurring system for bacterial and archaeal immunity. Popularly known as CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspersed Short Palindromic Repeats) technology, these systems rely upon CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins and have the potential to carry out genome editing functions or alter gene expression. The components of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing systems can be combined in multiple ways for various gene editing applications. What Applications Are Possible With CRISPR-Cas Systems? Gene silencing The Cas9 endonuclease has become a popular tool for directed gene editing in eukaryotic systems [1-3]. With the use of a target-specific CRISPR RNA ( cr RNA) and trans-activating cr RNA ( tracr RNA ), or a fused format called a single guide RNA ( sg RNA ), locations within complex mammalian genomes can be targeted by the Cas9 endonuclease for a double stranded break [1]. These breaks can be repaired by endogenous DNA repair mechanisms through a process known collectively as non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Because NHEJ is error prone, genomic deletions or insertions (indels) can result that create frame shifts and premature termination to permanently silence target genes. It is important to be aware that the insertions and deletions resulting from NHEJ are random and differ from cell to cell." }, { "docid": "D977342#0", "title": "http://www.nature.com/gt/journal/v18/n2/full/gt2010102a.html?message=remove&WT.ec_id=GT-201102\nOriginal Article", "text": "Original Article Gene Therapy (2011) 18, 135–144; doi:10.1038/gt.2010.102; published online 29 July 2010Clearance and characterization of residual HSV DNA in recombinant adeno-associated virus produced by an HSV complementation system G-J Ye 1, M M Scotti 1, J Liu 1, L Wang 1, D R Knop 1 and G Veres 11 Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation, Research Drive, Alachua, FL, USACorrespondence: Dr G-J Ye, Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation, 11801 Research Drive, Suite D, Alachua, FL 32615, USA.

Top Abstract Encapsidation of cellular- or plasmid-derived DNA sequences during recombinant adeno-associated virus (r AAV) production has been well documented. However, most of the published data were generated from r AAV vectors manufactured by the plasmid transient transfection method. We previously reported a novel, scalable method for r AAV manufacturing based on a recombinant herpes simplex virus (r HSV) complementation system. In this report, we evaluated clearance of DNA impurities during r AAV purification, by determining the quantity of residual herpes simplex virus and cellular DNA at each process step. A single Benzonase treatment during the upstream process effectively reduced unprotected HSV and cellular DNA to <300 bp fragments, and subsequent chromatography steps completely removed these small DNA fragments. Further analysis showed that trace amounts of residual, DNase-resistant HSV and cellular DNA were present at static concentrations during subsequent purification steps, and the residual HSV DNA sequences were single stranded, ranging from 0.8 to 4.2 kb. After transduction of human embryonic kidney 293 cells with purified r AAV, the residual HSV DNA fragments were neither transcribed nor translated into HSV proteins. In summary, this manufacturing process for r AAV production was effective in removing DNA and protein contaminants and achieving a highly purified product, suitable for human clinical application." } ]

That reflected color is the color our eyes pick up.2. Where does the water that life needs to function, really come from? The water that life needs to function is originally found in the atmosphere. The atmosphere then condenses and rain falls. The rain is fresh water and creates lakes and rivers, which water companies collect and ship out to us.

Chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, enables them to use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and carbohydrates, chemicals the cell uses for fuel. Like the fungi, another kingdom of eukaryotes, plant cells have retained the protective cell wall structure of their prokaryotic ancestors. The basic plant cell shares a similar construction motif with the typical eukaryote cell, but does not have centrioles, lysosomes, intermediate filaments, cilia, or flagella, as does the animal cell. Plant cells do, however, have a number of other specialized structures, including a rigid cell wall, central vacuole, plasmodesmata, and chloroplasts. Although plants (and their typical cells) are non-motile, some species produce gametes that do exhibit flagella and are, therefore, able to move about. Plants can be broadly categorized into two basic types: vascular and nonvascular. Vascular plants are considered to be more advanced than nonvascular plants because they have evolved specialized tissues, namely xylem, which is involved in structural support and water conduction, and phloem, which functions in food conduction. Consequently, they also possess roots, stems, and leaves, representing a higher form of organization that is characteristically absent in plants lacking vascular tissues. The nonvascular plants, members of the division Bryophyta, are usually no more than an inch or two in height because they do not have adequate support, which is provided by vascular tissues to other plants, to grow bigger." }, { "docid": "D501575#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/20127990/chapter-28-protists-flash-cards/\nChapter 28 Protists", "text": "\"62 terms atlys Chapter 28 Protists Protists chapter 28 of Campbell's 9nth Edition Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are energy-converting organelles in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Chloroplasts in plant cells perform photosynthesis; the capture and conversion of the energy of sunlight. Mitochondria in both plant and animal cells perform respiration; the release of this stored energy when work is done. Photosynthesis and respiration are chemical redox reactions. Chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain small, specialised, and complete genetic systems to make their own proteins. Both the genetic and the energy-converting systems of chloroplasts and mitochondria are descended, with little modification, from those of the free-living bacteria that these organelles once were. The great majority of genes for the proteins of chloroplasts and mitochondria are, however, now located elsewhere. They are found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells.

Onion cells are easily visible at medium magnification. Their plasma membrane and cytoplasm can be clearly distinguished, and, if a stain is used, their nuclei can be seen, as well. Students will also observe that the cells are uniform in shape and size. This is a consequence of mitotic cell division—which produces genetic clones and contributes to the development of specific tissues, each made up of distinct cell types with distinct functions (in this case, inner epidermal cells). Red onions are preferable because the red pigment in the cells makes them easier to visualize under the microscope. GRADE LEVELS4-12TEACHER BACKGROUNDBulb onions ( Allium cepa) are members of the family Amarylliaceae. The bulbs are formed from modified leaves. Their primary function is to store energy produced during photosynthesis. Glucose that is produced during photosynthesis is converted to starch (a polymer composed of multiple glucose molecules linked together), and transported to the base of the leaves, which results in bulb formation." }, { "docid": "D2522622#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167488906002990\nReviewCalcium signaling in plant cell organelles delimited by a double membrane", "text": "Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research Volume 1763, Issue 11, November 2006, Pages 1209-1215Review Calcium signaling in plant cell organelles delimited by a double membrane Tou-Cheu Xiong a c d Stéphane Bourque b d David Lecourieux e Nicolas Amelot a d Sabine Grat a d Christian Brière a d Christian Mazars a d Alain Pugin b d Raoul Ranjeva a d Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamcr.2006.09.024 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Abstract Increases in the concentration of free calcium in the cytosol are one of the general events that relay an external stimulus to the internal cellular machinery and allow eukaryotic organisms, including plants, to mount a specific biological response. Different lines of evidence have shown that other intracellular organelles contribute to the regulation of free calcium homeostasis in the cytosol. The vacuoles, the endoplasmic reticulum and the cell wall constitute storage compartments for mobilizable calcium. In contrast, the role of organelles surrounded by a double membrane (e.g. mitochondria, chloroplasts and nuclei) is more complex. Here, we review experimental data showing that these organelles harbor calcium-dependent biological processes. Mitochondria, chloroplasts as well as nuclei are equipped to generate calcium signal on their own. Changes in free calcium in a given organelle may also favor the relocalization of proteins and regulatory components and therefore have a profound influence on the integrated functioning of the cell. Studying, in time and space, the dynamics of different components of calcium signaling pathway will certainly give clues to understand the extraordinary flexibility of plants to respond to stimuli and mount adaptive responses. The availability of technical and biological resources should allow breaking new grounds by unveiling the contribution of signaling networks in integrative plant biology.

The Argument Nucleic acids are the 'most important' macromolecule as they posses the most crucial task (in regards to DNA/RNA) as without nucleic acids, no other macromolecules could exist.

If you’re wondering what something as weird-sounding as a “large biological molecule” is doing in your food, the answer is that it’s providing you with the building blocks you need to maintain your body – because your body is also made of large biological molecules!Just as you can be thought of as an assortment of atoms or a walking, talking bag of water, you can also be viewed as a collection of four major types of large biological molecules: carbohydrates (such as sugars), lipids (such as fats), proteins, and nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA). That’s not to say that these are the only molecules in your body, but rather, that your most important large molecules can be divided into these groups. Together, the four groups of large biological molecules make up the majority of the dry weight of a cell. ( Water, a small molecule, makes up the majority of the wet weight).

( September 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Principle of binocular vision with horopter shown In biology, binocular vision is a type of vision in which an animal having two eyes is able to perceive a single three-dimensional image of its surroundings. Neurological researcher Manfred Fahle has stated six specific advantages of having two eyes rather than just one: [1]It gives a creature a spare eye in case one is damaged. It gives a wider field of view. For example, humans have a maximum horizontal field of view of approximately 190 degrees with two eyes, approximately 120 degrees of which makes up the binocular field of view (seen by both eyes) flanked by two uniocular fields (seen by only one eye) of approximately 40 degrees. [ 2]It can give stereopsis in which binocular disparity (or parallax) provided by the two eyes' different positions on the head gives precise depth perception. This also allows a creature to break the camouflage of another creature. It allows the angles of the eyes' lines of sight, relative to each other ( vergence ), and those lines relative to a particular object ( gaze angle) to be determined from the images in the two eyes.

Virtually any magnified view through an optic is made clearer by a tripod, but when you're stargazing you really want to be sure there's no shaking that might distort the image. The best way to stabilize an image through a high or low power astronomy binocular is with a tripod.

Binoculars are typically labeled with two numbers, such as 7x40. The first number refers to the level of magnification (in this case, 7x) while the second number is the size in millimeters of the objective (front) lens (in this case 40mm). The larger the lens, the more light passes through it, making the image brighter. Typical costs: Small, compact binoculars are ideal for watching sports and light enough for traveling and outdoor hobbies. Expect a magnification level of 7x-12x as anything larger will usually require a tripod.

We spend many hours during fall and winter waiting for a big buck to show itself. When the moment arrives, we don’t want to let it pass us by due to poor-performing optics. Had I understood the benefits of using the right binocular back when I first started hunting, I might have another trophy or two hanging on my wall and more meat in the freezer. I am sure every hunter has had the experience of desperately trying to determine if a deer is a shooter or not in low-light conditions. Heck, in the area where I grew up hunting, we were happy to see a legal buck. I can recall many times when I had to hold off because I was not sure. Better safe than sorry! Of course, optics are a lot better today than they were 35 years ago. While back then I was more concerned with keeping things lightweight and compact, the little 8x25 binocular I used wouldn’t cut it." }, { "docid": "D116352#0", "title": "http://riflebarrels.com/long-range-shooting-hunting/\nLong Range Shooting & Hunting", "text": "Long Range Shooting & Hunting By: Daniel Lilja This section is based on a series of articles that appeared in PRECISION SHOOTING magazine in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.

Double vision occurs when you’re looking at one object but it appears as two separate but identical objects. Double vision occurs as a result of impaired binocular vision, and can affect a child or an adult. The image of the hand at the top of the post is a good example of a double vision.

Creatures with binocular vision have many advantages over creatures with only a single eye or creatures who are not able to use their multiple eyes together. At a very simple level, a second eye provides a safe level of redundancy; if one eye is lost, another is still there, allowing the creature to see. Using two eyes together also improves a creature's ability to see objects that are, for whatever reason, difficult to see. Generally speaking, because of the distance between two eyes, a creature with binocular vision will have a wider field of vision than a creature without. Another important aspect of binocular vision is stereopsis, which allows creatures to perceive depth. Stereopsis occurs when two eyes perceive an object and its surroundings from two slightly different angles, which occurs naturally because of the slightly different positions of the eyes. Because of the different angles, the eyes are able to perceive depth and distance. This is especially important to predator animals, who need to judge the distance between themselves and their prey. It is somewhat less important to prey animals; their eyes tend to be very far apart which gives them a much greater field of view." }, { "docid": "D222633#0", "title": "http://www.naba.org/qanda.html\nButterfly Questions and Answers", "text": "\"Butterfly Questions and Answers Because of the number of questions asked of us, and our small volunteer staff, for the most part we cannot respond individually to your queries, but if a number of people pose the same question, we will post the answer on this page.

Two different types of aniseikonia can be differentiated: static and dynamic aniseikonia. Static aniseikonia or aniseikonia in short means that in a static situation where the eyes are gazing in a certain direction, the perceived (peripheral) images are different in size (see Fig.1). Dynamic aniseikonia or (optically induced) anisophoria means that the eyes have to rotate a different amount to gaze (i.e. look with the sharpest vision) at the same point in space (see Fig. 1).

Have you seen the movie Gravity? Did you see it in 3-D? If so, you probably found yourself marveling at the amazing technological effect of seeing Sandra Bullock and George Clooney tumble through a very realistic depiction of the depths of outer space. But you probably never find yourself marveling at the even more amazing technological effect of seeing everything in the world in 3-D – achieved by simply having two eyes, as well as a brain that blends the images your eyes see. Very simply, this is depth perception, meaning the ability to see things in three dimensions – length, width, and depth – and to perceive how near or far away people and objects are. One way humans perceive depth is by having eyes that are spaced a little bit apart. This is contrary to certain animals that tend to be prey, and have evolved so that their eyes are on either side of their head to enable them to spot predators. ( Predator animals, on the other hand, or paw, usually have eyes positioned closely together, like humans, to enable them to spot, chase, and swoop down upon prey. ) Like those clunky 3-D glasses you wore while watching Gravity, human eyes spaced a little bit apart see two slightly different images, based on each eye’s position on your face." }, { "docid": "D1139978#0", "title": "http://www.children-special-needs.org/questions.html\n.", "text": "\"What is Binocular Vision?

Read on and find out all you need to know about the ubiquitous binocular before making your choice so you can be sure you’re choosing the right one for whatever you’re planning on viewing. The Basics Simply stated, binoculars use a series of lenses, elements, and prisms to produce a magnified view of distant people, places, or things. Using two parallel optical tubes allows you to observe with both eyes open, which is more comfortable and natural than using a spotting scope or telescope—which requires you to keep one eye closed. Additionally, having both eyes open maintains your depth of field and provides you with a rich and immersive experience where the scene takes on a more lifelike, 3-D appearance. If you’ve been shopping for binoculars, you will have noticed that some look very streamlined while others look chunkier. This is because the physical appearance and size of a binocular is determined by the type of prism it uses. Prisms are used to correct the orientation of the view horizontally and vertically so the scene looks natural; without a prism, binoculars would make things look upside down and flopped. There are two principal types of prisms: roof and Porro. The glass elements in a roof prism are in line with one another, making roof-prism binoculars more streamlined and easier to hold." } ]

Conscious sedation is probably the fastest growing area in anaesthesia care, and has become a very effective viable alternative to general anaesthesia for many surgical procedures e.g. dental procedures, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, endoscopies, bronchoscopies, and liver and renal biopsies. You will come in on the day of surgery and leave the same day usually within one hour after the operation. In addition, there is a significantly lower incidence of side effects with conscious sedation (incuding low incidence of nausea and vomiting, headaches, sore throats, muscle aches, and pain), and the costs for conscious sedation are much lower compared to general anaesthesia.• What is conscious sedation The aim of sedation is to make you comfortable, totally relaxed and safe during a procedure. Administration of the sedatives and analgesia results in you becoming drowsy and sleepy, pain free, and probably amnesic such that you will have very little recollection of the procedure. Communication is possible if necessary during the operation because even though you are completely relaxed and unconcerned, you are not completey unconscious at any point in time." }, { "docid": "D1300129#0", "title": "http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/nursepracticefaq.htm\nOffice of the Professions", "text": "\"NYSED / OP / Professions / Nursing / Practice Information / FAQPractice Information Frequently Asked Practice Questions General \| RN & LPN \| Clinical Nurse Specialist \| Nurse Practitioner General What types of nursing professions are in New York State?

Not only were they fully competent to collect raw data, but also to interpret it correctly, and make wise and appropriate decisions about how to respond to the realities they encountered.

October 3, 2011About Kristina Follow Kristina at @ autismvox Not everyone who calls themselves “doctor” has the letters “M. D.” behind their name. More and more, the medical professional in the white coat who introduces herself or himself as “Dr.” may not be a physician but a nurse, pharmacist or physical therapist. Nurses with doctorates can qualify for high-level hospital administrative positions and are seen with more respect. But physicians are, not surprisingly, loathe to give up the title that has been theirs for centuries and not only for matters of prestige. Right now, physicians command higher fees from insurers and also have more authority in prescribing medications. In the days of managed health care, the treatment of patients is increasingly seen as that of a “team,” with a number of specialists and practitioners including nurses — but physicians are arguing that it is they who should lead the team. That is, who gets called “doctor” is a “ proxy for a “larger struggle” about who plays what role in health care today. Physicians say that, due to their training — twice as a long as the six to eight years of collegiate and graduate education required for nurses, pharmacists and physical therapists to earn a doctorate — they alone should diagnose illnesses. Nurses point out that they are more than capable of identifying illnesses. In twenty-states, and in particular in areas where there is a shortage of physicians (the mountain West and northern New England), nurses can practice without a physician’s supervision or collaboration." }, { "docid": "D498189#0", "title": "http://kidshealth.org/en/teens/pelvic-exams.html\n.", "text": "Kids Health / For Teens / Pelvic Exams Listenen español Examen pélvico What Is a Pelvic Exam?

This includes feeling a girl's uterus and ovaries to be sure everything's normal. Teens don't usually get pelvic exams. Sometimes doctors do pelvic exams if they think there's a problem. For example, if a girl complains of heavy bleeding, missed periods, or discharge, the doctor will want to check for a cause. Otherwise, doctors don't recommend regular pelvic exams or Pap smears until a woman is 21 years old. What Happens During a Pelvic Exam?

May 23rd, 2017Nursing homes are notoriously understaffed. Studies have shown that more staff leads to better care, but employees are often overworked and turnover can be high. When choosing a nursing home, one of the most important details is the staff to patient ratio, but what staffing levels are required by law? Federal law requires Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes to have a registered nurse (RN) on duty at least 8 hours a day, 7 days a week; and a licensed nurse (RN or LPN) on duty 24 hours a day.

They also sponsor social activities such as art classes, cooking classes, birthday parties and movie nights. A nursing home is place for a person who can’t be cared for at home but don’t need a hospital. Nursing homes typically have a nursing staff on site 24 hours a day.

Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurse (LPN or LVN) jobs are actually the same role despite the slight difference in name. The LVN title is only used in Texas and California. The job involves a variety of daily tasks ranging from dressing wounds to feeding infants. Most LPNs are trained to work in all aspects of health care, but there are some who specialize in certain areas. LPNs/LVNs can be found in all kinds of medical settings, like hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, nursing homes and even in a patient’s own home. While the general LPN role doesn’t change, there can be variations in your duties depending on where you work. For example, LPNs/LVNs in a physician’s office may do some administrative tasks like making appointments, whereas an LPN in a hospital may find themselves with more advanced nursing responsibilities in an emergency room.

The state of the nursing informatics workforce was the primary topic of discussion at the opening panel of the Nursing Informatics Symposium here, as nursing informaticists discussed the results of the fourth edition of the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Workforce Survey and the future of the profession. “There is an expanding universe of nursing informatics practice,” said Ruth Schleyer, chief nursing informatics officer at Providence Health & Services, a Renton, Wash.-based health system. She said the challenges confronting the profession – including new delivery models for communities, an increasing emphasis on patient engagement and genomics-driven care – would offer more career opportunities for CNIO aspirants. The 2014 workforce survey indicated that there are three particular areas in which nurse informaticists can add value, Schleyer said. They include implementing IT systems; the optimization of HIT systems, and providing and defining context for the patient care team. “ The CNIO supports the use of the EHR as a clinical tool,” she said. “ The value of the CNIO is driven by operations, not by IT.”The 2014 survey revealed that 58 percent of nurse informaticists currently work in hospitals, a number that should drop in coming years as the healthcare enterprise transforms, said Gail E. Latimer, vice president and chief nurse officer at Siemens Healthcare. “ We must get beyond the walls of the hospital,” she said. “ We’re moving from acute care to coordination of care, and from large IT hardware to cloud technology and BYOD." }, { "docid": "D759072#0", "title": "http://www.methodistcollege.edu/nursing\nNursing", "text": "\"Print Share Email Nebraska Methodist College » Nursing Nursing A career in nursing offers unlimited opportunities.

While some tests are looking to see what you are ABLE to learn, the purpose of the ANCC certification exam, offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), are to test your understanding of what you have already learned. The goal of the ANCC exams are to use a standardized testing process to create an objective assessment of a test taker's knowledge and skills. In other words, it's more about what you know than your ability to solve clever puzzles. This is good news for those who are serious about being prepared, because it boils down to a very simple strategy: You can succeed on the ANCC exams and become a ANCC board certified nurse by learning critical concepts on the test so that you are prepared for as many questions as possible. Repetition and thorough preparation is a process that rewards those who are serious about being prepared, which means that succeeding on the ANCC exam is within the reach of virtually anyone interested in learning the material. This is great news! It means that if you've been worried about your upcoming ANCC exam, you can rest easy IF you have a good strategy for knowing what to study and how to effectively use repetition to your advantage.

Abstract Baccalaureate nursing education is not preparing graduates with adequate competencies to practice in today’s technology-rich health care environment. Competence in nursing informatics (NI) is lacking in students and faculty alike at local, national, and international levels. Faculty may be the biggest hindrance to this issue. A description of how one educational institution is developing strategies to increase their faculty capacity for NI using current evidence, theory, and perseverance is presented in this paper. It will also demonstrate the usefulness of having a NI competency list in order to measure student outcomes. The use of technology in health education has been described in the literature since the early 1970s. Current local and international literature reflects the urgency of establishing competent professionals that can practice in the ever-evolving, technology-rich health care environment. The emergence of the electronic health record (EHR), advances in hospital and clinical information systems, and the push to use evidence at the point-of-care in many countries have propelled this urgency for all nurses to become competent in areas enveloping technology and health. Despite staggering amounts of data to support the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in nursing, there has yet to be any real action globally in baccalaureate nursing education to provide the health care system with beginner nurses ready to practice with skills, knowledge, and a positive attitude in nursing informatics (NI)." }, { "docid": "D86241#0", "title": "https://onlinenursepractitionerprograms.com/what-are-the-top-employers-of-nurse-practitioners/\nTop Employers of Nurse Practitioners", "text": "Top Employers of Nurse Practitioners With an MSN, there are four career paths you can consider – nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse midwife, or certified registered nurse anesthetist. From there, you can specialize further, working with a certain age group, working with a certain part of the body, or working in a certain environment. No matter where you go in the United States, you can find job openings, but you can increase your success rate when interviewing, as well as your salary, if you start by applying with top employers. Four Career Paths for Nurse Practitioners General Nurse Practitioner: A nurse practitioner (NP) offers patient care in various sub-specialties such as cardiology, infectious diseases, rheumatology, primary care, pediatric oncology, among other areas. NPs serve as the primary care provider and can stand in for physicians. Clinical Nurse Specialist: A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) is an advanced-practice nurse who provides care to a specific age group or health concern. These nurses work closely with physicians and healthcare teams to ensure comprehensive patient care. Certified Nurse Midwife: A certified nurse mid-wife (CNM) provides prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal maternity care to expectant mothers. CNMs offer gynecologic examinations and often prescribe medication.

Health information system is used extensively in healthcare to support the infrastructure of medicine. Improving clinical process enables better understanding of healthcare systems as technology and clinical process need to be aligned to each other. One of the introduced techniques which improve clinical process is business process re-engineering (BPR). The aim of this paper is to investigate the application of BPR and its effectiveness in healthcare related to health information systems (HIS); this paper also highlights critical success factors for healthcare organizations to consider while implementing BPR in their process. In conclusion, application of BPR before implementation of HIS or even after implementation can be helpful to improve effectiveness of HIS. Application of IT can also be an enabler for redesign process, particularly in integration of multiple processes and process automation.

Technology, such as computers and monitoring equipment, is used in nearly every aspect of nursing. Many of the applications nurses use are wireless. Today’s nurses must not only know how to care for patients, but how to use technology safely and appropriately in their day-to-day work. Computers Computer technology is one of the most common applications used in nursing. Nurses use computers to schedule staff, for timekeeping, to order medications or supplies, and for research and email. In some organizations, nurses use computers for all patient care documentation, using systems called electronic health records or electronic medical records – EHRs and EMRs. A nurse who uses an EMR may document medication dosages, administration, dressing changes and other treatments in the computer, rather than on paper. Monitors Monitoring systems are technological devices that allow a nurse to obtain patient information. These devices include fetal monitors, which can show the heart rate of a baby still in the uterus; heart monitors that display the electrical rhythm and pattern of a patient’s heart; and vital sign machines that automatically take the patient’s blood pressure, pulse and respiration." } ]

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.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, in New Zealand, a rare oarfish was found and photographed without anyone realizing how amazing their find really was until after the fact. To make matters worse, the oarfish disappeared from the beach and now it was hoped by experts that no one tried eating the 10-foot long sea serpent. Interestingly enough, over in Japan, there is a legend that the oarfish is a portent for disaster, and at least one scientist believes there is truth to that idea. Back in 2013, the unexpected discovery of one of New Zealand’s giant squids was made by Jack and Sharon Osikai, who found the sea monster while vacationing in Kaikoura. They say they were returning from a fishing trip when they saw the giant squid floating off the coast near Shark’s Tooth. “It’s not something you see every day,” said Mr Osikai. “ It looked quite impressive out in the water with all its tentacles floating around … It took us about an hour to pull it in. ”At the time, Megan Lewis, owner of Kaikoura Aquarium, said they were pretty sure the giant squid died in an epic battle with another giant squid." }, { "docid": "D3175718#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/sea-snail-s-predators-fa868e07ed97b7cf\nWhat Are Some of the Sea Snail's Predators?", "text": "Pets & Animals Marine Life Q: What Are Some of the Sea Snail's Predators?

The vast majority of fish are members of Osteichthyes, which is an extremely diverse and abundant group consisting of 45 orders, and over 435 families and 28,000 species. [ 1] It is the largest class of vertebrates in existence today. The group Osteichthyes is divided into the ray-finned fish ( Actinopterygii) and lobe-finned fish ( Sarcopterygii ). The oldest known fossils of bony fish are about 420 million years ago, which are also transitional fossils, showing a tooth pattern that is in between the tooth rows of sharks and bony fishes. [ 2]Osteichthyes can be compared to Euteleostomi. In paleontology, the terms are synonymous. In ichthyology, the difference is that Euteleostomi presents a cladistic view which includes the terrestrial tetrapods that evolved from lobe-finned fish, whereas on a traditional view, Osteichthyes includes only fishes and is therefore paraphyletic. However, recently published phylogenetic trees treat the Osteichthyes as a clade.

Oarfish are a rarely seen family of fish comprised of four species, the most famous being the Regalecus glesne, or king of herrings, the longest bony fish in the world. Though human contact is rare, oarfish are thought to be abundant as they are found in both temperate and tropical waters around the world. They rarely come up to the surface, the major reason behind the few sightings, as they prefer depths of 600 to even 3,000 feet deep. A 23-foot long oarfish found dead by the U. S. Military in 1996. Credit: U. S. Military The origin of the name “oarfish” is unknown, but there’s little doubt it was named in reference to its elongated body and oar-like pelvic fins. Its dorsal fin is bright red, and runs across the entire length of the back beginning above its relatively small eyes. The term “ribbonfish” has become a popular nickname, given the brightness and fluidity of its fins and its body shape. The challenge of finding an oarfish, its large size, and better technology has made oarfish fishing an ever-growing pastime. The bigger species are considered a game fish, though its flesh is not considered that great for eating and is therefore left alone by commercial fishing industries." }, { "docid": "D2150131#0", "title": "http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/January\nJanuary", "text": "← Wednesday, April 11 th, 2018 (UTC) →Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec January is the first month of the year.

But, before answering “what is the biggest fish”, we must answer “what is a fish?” At first, it looks like an easy question, but in fact it is not. There are a wide range of animals we call “fish”, so it is not easy to define what makes a fish “a fish”. A general description: “a fish is any member of a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits” (wikipedia). All fishes have a brain protected by a braincase, and an obvious head region with eyes, teeth, and other sensory organs. Most fishes:are vertebrates with vertebrae protecting the spinal cord.live in water.breathe primarily with gills rather than lungs.have paired limbs, in the form of fins that aid in locomotion.are unable to regulate their own internal body temperatures.are covered with scales that protect their bodies. But there are exceptions: hagfish aren’t vertebrates and don’t have scales; mudskippers can live outside the water, lungfish use lungs to breathe, lampreys don’t have paired fins, and tuna are warm blooded. Fish can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish); in environments as hot as 104°F/40°C and as cold as 28°F/-2°C.

On Saturday, all the gods including Thor, Loki, Odin, Freyr and Hermóðr, will fight in an epic battle. Odin will be killed by Fenrir and the other creator gods will fall. “The legend of Ragnarok tells of the fall of the Norse gods and the birth of a new world, but, of course, if we wake up to the same old world on the morning of Sunday, February 23, we’ll have no regrets – our celebrations also mark Jolablot, the Viking feast to hail the coming of spring, which to many people is the annual rebirth of the world!” Danielle Daglan, director of the 30 th JORVIK Viking Festival to celebrate the apocalyptic event, told the Yorkshire Post in England. Legend has it Ragnarok will begin when Fenrir the wolf breaks free from his imprisonment. This sets off a chain reaction of events where Jormungand the Midgard snake rises from the sea and a wolf eats the sun.

Oceanography The major disciplines of oceanography are geological oceanography, physical oceanography and chemical oceanography. Oceanographers and others involved in these disciplines often work together to unravel the mysteries and unknowns of ocean science. In reading about each of these sub-fields, keep in mind that some of the most important oceanographic discoveries have been made as a result of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, often involving geologists, chemists, biologists, physical oceanographers and engineers. Marine biology is sometimes called biological oceanography and could be included in this section. We have not done that. One distinction that has been made between the fields of marine biology and biological oceanography is this: marine biologists study the plants, animals and protists of our estuaries, coasts and oceans, ranging from whales to microscopic algae and bacteria, and biological oceanographers study marine organisms and their biological processes within the context of their natural environment. As a growing global population stresses the ability of our society to produce food, water and shelter, we will continue to look to the oceans to help sustain our basic needs. Advances in technology, combined with demand, will improve our ability to derive food, drinking water, energy sources, waste disposal and transportation from the ocean. It will be up to this and future generations to build upon our existing knowledge of the ocean and its potential to help meet the needs of the world and its inhabitants.

This famous ocean current is a giant. More than 3,000 feet deep in places and as much as 90 miles wide, the Gulf Stream begins near the Bahama Islands and curls up the East Coast of the United States from Florida to North Carolina. There, it takes a dogleg to the northeast, carrying warm, tropical waters into the deeper parts of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Because of how much water it moves, the Gulf Stream has a small but noticeable effect on water levels along the Mid-Atlantic, starting at Cape Hatteras in North Carolina.

In the mid 1800s, Matthew Fontaine Maury of the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office initiated an effort to assemble navigation charts that included information on currents. They based their current measurements on logs collected from Naval and merchant ships. At the time, ships navigated through dead reckoning. Once or twice a day, a ship noted its position based on celestial navigation, and recorded its speed, and compass direction. A ship that sails through still waters and keeps a straight course should arrive at a predicted point based on its speed and direction. But if currents are present, they will likely push the ship off course and alter its speed. One can estimate the direction and speed of these currents by subtracting the predicted vector based on dead reckoning from the vector representing the ships actual speed and direction.

Goss, Contributing Writer Updated March 29, 2018After the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, the great ship slumbered on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean for over 70 years before its wreckage was discovered. On September 1, 1985, a joint American-French expedition, headed by famous American oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard, found the Titanic over two miles below the ocean’s surface by using an unmanned submersible called Argo. This discovery gave new meaning to the Titanic’s sinking and gave birth to new dreams in ocean exploration. The Titanic’s Journey Built in Ireland from 1909 to 1912 on behalf of the British-owned White Star Line, the Titanic officially left the European port of Queenstown, Ireland, on April 11, 1912. Carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew, the great ship began its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, headed for New York. The Titanic carried passengers from all walks of life. Tickets were sold to first-, second-, and third-class passengers—the latter group largely consisting of immigrants seeking a better life in the United States. Famous first-class passengers included J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the White Star Line; business magnate Benjamin Guggenheim; and members of the Astor and Strauss families. The Sinking of the Titanic Only three days after setting sail, the Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, somewhere in the North Atlantic." }, { "docid": "D758976#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity\nSalinity", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Part of a series on Water salinity Salinity levels Fresh water (< 0.05%) Brackish water (0.05–3%) Saline water (3–5%) Brine (> 5%)Bodies of water Seawater • Salt lake • Hypersaline lake • Salt pan • Brine pool • Bodies by salinityv t e Annual mean sea surface salinity for the World Ocean.

This hands-on experience can be done in many different ways, including internships and/or postdoctoral studies. Finally, many ecologist are a part of a university or college, which requires a Ph D to teach. What does an Ecologist do? Ecologists are scientists that study the intricate relationships that exist between organizations in a particular environment or groups of environments. They study not only the flora and fauna in a given geographic area, but they also pay attention to the other physical characteristics and dynamics of the location, like climate, weather patterns, altitude, pollution, soil types and quality, water systems, etc. As with many scientists, ecologists conduct research in the field as well as in the lab.

An oceanographer can find employment with a private research institution, university, government agency, or environmental organization. An oceanographer often specializes in chemical, physical, or geological oceanography. Chemical oceanographers collect and analyze samples of water, sediments, and marine plants to better understand their chemical structures. Scientists might determine how pollution changes the chemical composition of ocean water, and the greater effects pollution may have on plants and animals. They may also investigate samples from many different areas to understand the movement of different minerals and chemicals over time and space. A physical oceanographer studies the visible makeup of ocean sediments, changes in tides and pressure, and the effects of different natural processes.

He looked at the world, described what happened, and analyzed the information presented to discern the answers to a great many philosophical questions. He started with physical phenomena, and progressed from those phenomena to infer meaning and events beyond what can be observed through human senses. All of his beliefs were logically deduced, though he did make errors here and there. Much like Howard Stark, he was limited by the technology of his time. Christians, specifically Thomas Aquinas, adopted the final point in his Metaphysics, that of the Unmoved Mover and First Cause, and identified that idea as God. For Aristotle, this “God” was known and described as the first thing that moved, the thing that moved without being moved by anything prior.

Throughout history, God's people have been caught in a conflict: They've had to choose between obedience to what they believed was their Sovereign's will on the one hand, and the demands of the physical culture in which they lived, on the other. Today, Christians who espouse the seventh-day Sabbath, face the same dilemma. Many jobs require work on Saturday. Many social, athletic, and academic events occur on Friday night or Saturday -- the day Sabbatarians believe God set aside at Creation for humanity, the day sanctified in the fourth commandment, the day upheld by the teaching and example of Jesus and the Apostles. The root issues are these: Do we really believe our Father's will is for us to rest on the seventh day? And if we do, is our desire to please Him the guiding force in our lives? Christians are called to take up the cross of Christ, to put His will ahead of everything, to love Him more than they love even their own lives ( Luke 6:46, 14:26 ). But when it comes to financial loss, reduced lifestyle, or fewer social opportunities, we often bend the Sabbath to conform to our culture.

Whether or not Jesus should be worshiped ( Surah 5:116 , Surah 4:171 vs John 20:28 and Matthew 28:16)Whether Jesus should be described as the “Son of God” ( Surah 19:88-92 vs the many biblical references to Jesus as “son of God”) Note that unless this concept is carefully explained to a Muslim this is tantamount to suggesting God had sex with Mary. Whether or not Jesus actually died Muslims do not believe that Jesus died on the cross as the Bible says in Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19. Muslims differ among themselves as to exactly how Jesus escaped from death. A key Qur’an verse is as follows:“That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise” ( Surah 4:157-158)Some Muslims believe that someone was made to appear like Jesus and was crucified in his place. See for example the following quote: Ibn Abbas said, “Just before Allah raised Jesus to the Heavens, Jesus went to his disciples, who were twelve inside the house. When he arrived, his hair was dripping with water (as if he had just had a bath) and he said, ‘There are those among you who will disbelieve in me twelve times after you had believed in me.’ He then asked, ‘Who among you will volunteer for his appearance to be transformed into mine, and be killed in my place." }, { "docid": "D691152#0", "title": "http://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/teens/absolute-truth\nAbsolute Truth", "text": "\"Article About: Teens Prixel Creative/Lightstock Whatever happened to the truth?!

Because the term has only recently become widely used, an important task for scholarship at the present time is to define the topic properly and explain clearly how it should be expressed in a believer’s life. A logical, necessary question which should be asked to begin is, “Where exactly is spiritual formation taught in Scripture?” Answering this question can be difficult. The words “spiritual formation” do not occur in any English Bibles to which I currently have access, but this does not mean that the concept as a whole is invalid. A concept can be taught by a biblical text even if specific terms are absent since many different terms can be used to teach a concept. 1 Such is the case with spiritual formation. In my prior essay on this topic, “ Orientation to Spiritual Formation with Special Reference to the New Testament, ” 2 I offered the following as a working definition of spiritual formation: The short-hand definition I would offer could perhaps be worded as “the intentional transformation of the inner person to the character of Christ.” It is intentional in two ways: It is part of God’s will for the individual believer, and the individual believer makes a conscious choice about it; it is transformation in that it involves definitive, measurable growth in a certain direction; it involves the inner person in that it concerns itself with character, thoughts, intentions, and attitudes more than actions, habits, or behaviors; it has the character of Christ as its goal and standard of measure. Within the argument of the former essay, this definition was garnered from contemporary works on spiritual formation and then justified by examination of various Scripture passages which deal with the topic in a basic way." }, { "docid": "D2073101#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_Spain\nOutline of Spain", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Flag of Spain The Coat of arms of Spain The location of Spain An enlargeable map of the Kingdom of Spain The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Spain: Spain – sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe.

The only thing correct about that assumption concerning Eskimos is where they live. They are definitely a cold region people whose ancestors survived and made a living in some of the harshest and most unforgiving areas on the planet. A Little Eskimo History Eskimos derived from an ancient group of tribes from more than 5,000 years ago. Some of the earliest Eskimo cultures were Pre-Dorset Technology. Eskimos are believed to have evolved in the area now known as Alaska from tribes using the Archaic Small Tools Technology. The common belief is that Eskimos migrated to the continent from eastern Siberia by crossing the frozen Bering Sea.

Heathenry, also termed Heathenism or Germanic Neopaganism, is a modern Pagan religion. Scholars of religious studies classify Heathenry as a new religious movement. Its practitioners model their faith on the pre-Christian belief systems adhered to by the Germanic peoples of Iron Age and Early Medieval Europe. To reconstruct these past belief systems, Heathenry uses surviving historical, archaeological, and folkloric evidence as a basis, although approaches to this material vary considerably. Heathenry does not have a unified theology and is typically polytheistic, centering on a pantheon of deities from pre-Christian Germanic Europe. It adopts cosmological views from these religions, including an animistic view of the cosmos in which the natural world is imbued with spirits.

Since Algiz is basically a rune of protection (the branching prongs of the symbolic elk-horn keeping danger at bay), repeating the rune 8 times in all directions serves the purpose of blocking or evading attacks from all directions, both the obvious and the concealed.

The Okinawan diet is made up mostly of vegetables and legumes, especially soy. It's low in calories and fat, and high in complex carbohydrates. Most of those carbohydrates come from vegetables, with only a small amount of grains or seeds, and no sugar or refined sweets. There is only a little bit of red meat and a minimal amount of dairy. Fish is consumed in moderation, and alcohol consumption is limited to an occasional drink. Typical foods in this diet include sweet potatoes, soy, bitter melon, shiitake mushrooms, burdock, jasmine tea, seaweed, and a fascinating array of herbs and spices.

Having studied the habits of particularly long-lived people, I've taken nine lessons from the Okinawans that I believe help them live long, happy lives.1. Embrace an ikigai. An ikigai is one's reason for being, or one's purpose in life. Older Okinawans can readily articulate the reason they get up in the morning. Their purpose-imbued lives gives them clear roles of responsibility and feelings of being needed well into their 100s.2. Rely on a plant-based diet. Older Okinawans have eaten a plant-based diet most of their lives. Their meals of stir-fried vegetables, sweet potatoes, and tofu are high in nutrients and low in calories." }, { "docid": "D2264148#0", "title": "http://www.martialtalk.com/threads/sanchin-ryu.9596/\nSanchin Ryu", "text": "\"Sanchin Ryu Discussion in ' Karate ' started by white belt, Aug 14, 2003 .

This subject is of vital importance!Scientists report that over 150 degenerative diseases are caused by high acid levels in the body. Knowing this fact, we should begin by understanding what acidity and alkalinity are and how they relate to our health. The p H scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 being extremely acidic, 14 being extremely alkaline and 7 being neutral. Body fluids range between 4.5 and 7.5 p H (blood must maintain 7.35 to 7.45 p H). A one point drop on the p H scale is 10 times more acidic; for example from 7 to 6 is 10 times more acidic, from 7 to 5 is 100 times, from 7 to 2 is 1,000,000 times more acidic. Most plants and fish thrive in waters of p H values from 6.6 to 7.4. This is a good rule of thumb to use for humans as parasites, viruses, bad bacteria, and degenerative diseases are more prevalent in an acidic system. In order for the body to remain healthy, it keeps a delicate and precise balance of blood p H at 7.365, which is slightly alkaline. The body does whatever it has to in order to maintain this balance." }, { "docid": "D2290662#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_Island\nOkinawa Island", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search [ hide]This article has multiple issues.

If Japanese people live longer than any other nation, the Okinawa inhabitants reach ages that take by surprise even the other Japaneses: an average of 86 for women and 78 for men.

The term Goju-ryu actually means “hard-soft style,” which refers to the closed hand techniques (hard) and open hand techniques and circular movements (soft) that comprise this martial art. The history of Goju-ryu is somewhat clouded in mystery due to the lack of documentation regarding the art. Still, it is believed that during the 14th century Chinese Kempo was first introduced to Okinawa. At the time in Okinawa, ‘te’ was practiced as a native fighting art. Kempo eventually combined, at least to an extent, with the native martial arts there to form Okinawa-te globally, or Tomari-te, Shuri-te, or Naha-te depending on the area of origin. It should be noted that in 1609, Japan invaded Okinawa, and during this time, Okinawans were banned from carrying weapons or practicing martial arts. As a result, martial arts were practiced underground there for quite some time.

The island of Okinawa, particularly a small village called Ogimi, has more people over the age of 100 than anywhere else in the world.

We went out of our way looking for foods and beverages that are unique to Okinawa, and did our best to eat in as many traditional style restaurants as possible.

They contain mechanically regulated ion channels, which open and close in response to movement. There are three classes: tactile, baroreceptors, and proprioceptors. Tactile receptors provide the sensations of touch, pressure, and vibration. Distinctions between them are not well defined.

Maximum variety of sensilla, including olfactory, gustatory, and mechanosensory, were found on the most distal segments of maxillary as well as labial palps. The maxillary palp has a long micro-furrow near the ventral edge of the medial surface of the fifth segment, which has a high population density of 73,700 sensilla/sq. mm 2. These sanilla are mostly 3–5-μm-high, 1.5–1.8-μm-thick pegs with grooves along the hair-shaft and a slit near the distal tip. The slit and the typical arched fenestration at the tip, may allow the dendrites to sample the external environment. This groove-and-slit sensillum is a new sensillum described for the first time in insects, and we designate it as GAS sensillum. Based on its morphology and also its sensory projections leading to the antennal lobes of the brain, as revealed by cobalt (II) uptake, the GAS sensillum appears to be olfactory. The sensillary complement on both palps is qualitatively similar, except for the presence of GAS sensilla on the maxillary palp. However, the quantitative estimates of the number of sensilla on both maxillary and labial palps of females as well as males, show that both palps have sexual dimorphism." }, { "docid": "D2891363#0", "title": "https://www.boundless.com/psychology/textbooks/boundless-psychology-textbook/sensation-and-perception-5/sensory-processes-38/somatosensation-pressure-temperature-and-pain-165-12700/\nSensory Processes", "text": "Vision: The Visual System, the Eye, and Color Vision In the human visual system, the eye receives physical stimuli in the form of light and sends those stimuli as electrical signals to the brain, which interprets the signals as images. Learning Objectives Summarize the process by which visual information is communicated to the brain Key Takeaways Key Points Human vision is one of the most complex visual systems among animals. The main sensory organ of the visual system is the eye, which takes in the physical stimuli of light rays and transduces them into electrical and chemical signals that can be interpreted by the brain to construct physical images. The eye has three main layers: the sclera, which includes the cornea; the choroid, which includes the pupil, iris, and lens; and the retina, which includes receptor cells called rods and cones. The human visual system is capable of complex color perception, which is initiated by cones in the retina and completed by impulse integration in the brain. Depth perception is our ability to see in three dimensions and relies on both binocular (two-eye) and monocular (one-eye) cues. Key Termsphototransduction: The process whereby the various bodies in the retina convert light into electrical signals.retina: The thin layer of cells at the back of the eyeball where light is converted into neural signals sent to the brain.photoreceptor: A specialized neuron able to detect and react to light.

The resulting perception is also known as visual perception, eyesight, sight, or vision ( adjectival form: visual, optical, or ocular ). The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system. The visual system in animals allows individuals to assimilate information from their surroundings. The act of seeing starts when the cornea and then the lens of the eye focuses light from its surroundings onto a light-sensitive membrane in the back of the eye, called the retina. The retina is actually part of the brain that is isolated to serve as a transducer for the conversion of light into neuronal signals. Based on feedback from the visual system, the lens of the eye adjusts its thickness to focus light on the photoreceptive cells of the retina, also known as the rods and cones, which detect the photons of light and respond by producing neural impulses." }, { "docid": "D490677#0", "title": "https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091019172331.htm\nStudy Examines Treatment For Olfactory Loss After Viral Infection", "text": "\"Science News from research organizations Study Examines Treatment For Olfactory Loss After Viral Infection Date: October 21, 2009Source: JAMA and Archives Journals Summary: Treatment with a glucocorticoid medication, either alone or in combination with Ginkgo biloba, appears to significantly improve the sense of smell in individuals with previous olfactory loss due to upper respiratory infections, according to a new report. Share: FULL STORYTreatment with a glucocorticoid medication, either alone or in combination with Ginkgo biloba, appears to significantly improve the sense of smell in individuals with previous olfactory loss due to upper respiratory infections, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Olfactory loss [loss of the sense of smell] is common and can be caused by head trauma, chronic sinonasal inflammation and viral infections of the nose, according to background information in the article. \"\" In particular, postviral olfactory loss is a complicated disease,\"\" the authors write. Upper respiratory tract viral infections are common and can be caused by numerous viruses such as rhinovirus, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses and respiratory syncytial viruses. \"\" However, which viruses cause postviral olfactory loss is unknown, as well as who is susceptible to olfactory damage after the common cold.\"\" Therefore, olfactory disorder is not clearly understood, making treatment for the condition difficult. Beom Seok Seo, M. D., of Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, South Korea, and colleagues studied 71 patients (average age 53) who were diagnosed as having postviral olfactory loss from July 2007 to June 2008. Patients underwent olfactory function tests, including a butanol threshold test (BTT), which examined patients' ability to differentiate N-butanol from mineral oil with concentrations changing over 13 levels through each nostril; and the cross-cultural smell identification test (CCSIT), which examined odor identification through both nostrils for each patient.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The sense of smell in vertebrates is mediated by proteins called olfactory receptors (OR). In the case of mammals, these proteins are embedded in the membranes of sensory neurons in the nasal cavity. Each neuron is thought to contain a single type of olfactory receptor responding to a single type of odorant. When an odorant binds to the outside of the olfactory receptor it transmits a signal to the interior of the cell. This signal triggers a response that excites the neuron and causes it to pass a message back along the axon to the brain. The brain then interprets the excitation as a specifc odor.

It is believed that this sense has evolved (or was given to us by god depending on personal belief) to protect us from eating dangerous foods by smelling how rotten it might be, although this theory could be argued against considering that the smell of over-ripe fruit is actually the smell that attracts us to buy \"\"fresh\"\" fruit. The second function of the nose is perhaps more important nowadays. Within the head there are two cavities (one for each nostril) called the Nasal Cavities, separated by the Nasal Septum. Withing the nasal cavities are curved pieces of bone called Concha (or Turbinates). Overlying these bones is soft tissue that secretes mucous (snot). Most people when they breath in at rest do so through their nose which drags the air past these concha. This function is to warm up the air and humidify it (hence the mucous) so that it is not harmful to the very delicate lungs." }, { "docid": "D2177138#0", "title": "http://fluoroquinolonethyroid.com/book_page/how-my-flox-symptoms-were-affected-by-th-and-iodine/phantosmia-that-chemicalsmoke-smell/\nPhantosmia: That Chemical/Smoke Smell", "text": "Phantosmia: That Chemical/Smoke Smell Phantosmia is smelling odors that aren’t really there. They are considered “olfactory hallucinations”, and seem to occur with neurological disorders. In my case, when the disparity between T3: T4 was too great, my sinus area and eyes would become very very dry and painful, and the phantosmia was directly related to this and my other symptoms. The odor I detected was very characteristic, and often smelled like cigarette smoke, or a burning smoke smell, progressing to a “chemical like smell” or “solvent smell”. I could empathize with people who experience multiple chemical sensitivities after going through this; living with this full time would have been horrible. In my case, these symptoms waxed and waned in direct relationship to my other TH-responsive symptoms, and so I could use this as well to monitor where I was at. I didn’t experience this symptom at all when I was on an appropriate dose of TH, and when I didn’t have too much disparity between T3/Iodine and T4 when I was not. In particular, when the sinus “dryness” and numbness, along with dry eyes increased, this symptom increased as well. One thing I’d like to mention is that I believe the word “Phantosmia”, which literally means “phantom” smells, or “smells that aren’t really there”, is very much a misnomer, at least in cases such as mine.

The creature turns briefly to look at you and its beady eyes meet yours. It stares at you momentarily as the car pulls up before shuffling off slowly into the darkness, dragging its hairless, rat-like tail behind it. You have just encountered an opossum, one of America’s most prevalent scavengers. Maybe you live in rural Dexter, or perhaps in suburban Ann Arbor or right in downtown Jackson; location is of no consequence here, for the opossum is found in rural areas, suburbs and big cities alike. Opossum biology and habitat Opossums (commonly misspelled as “possums”) are common throughout the United States. Opossums are a carnivorous mammal that belong to the marsupial family; in fact, opossums are the only marsupial native to North America (marsupials are a class of animals that carry their young in a pouch after a short gestation period, the most famous of which is the Australian kangaroo).

Categorized as Marsupials The Virginia Opossum is the only animal that can properly be called an Opossum. Opossums have an extremely broad diet and are classified as omnivores, meaning they eat plants and animals. The primary food source for an Opossum is carrion. In short carrion can be defined as any dead animal. Other than carrion, Opossums eat all types of small animals such as small birds, frogs, snakes, frogs, maggots and earthworms. The plant life eaten by the Virginia Opossum are fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms. Opossums are also well known to eat any sort of human food, and are particularly fond of dog and cat food.

Marsupials, like other mammals, are covered with hair and give live birth although they do not have long gestation periods. Marsupials a significant group of land mammals in South America and Australia while there is only one naturally occurring marsupial in North America, the opossum. In fact the Australian possum got its name because of a remote resemblance to the American opossum!Scientific Classifications The American possum are actually called opossums, of the scientific order Didelphimorphia and the Didelphidae family, with at least 103 differing species. The term possum correctly refers to the Australian animals of the suborder Phalangeriformes of the order Diprotodontia. Geographical Prevalence Opossums are found only in North America, although there is a “water possum”, also known as the yapok, which is found in Central and South America. Possums on the other hand are native to Australia, but not New Zealand, New Guinea, Indonesia and some small islands in the Pacific. The brush-tailed possum found its way to New Zealand over a hundred years ago.

Of course, this tactic is easier said than done. To develop an exclusion plan, you need to determine which type of animal is preying on your birds. Often, the condition in which you find your flock is an indicator of which predator is involved. If adult birds are missing but no other signs of disturbance exist, the predator probably is a dog, a coyote, a fox, a bobcat, a hawk, or an owl. These predators typically are able to kill, pick up, and carry off an adult chicken. Hawks typically take chickens during the day, whereas owls take them during the night.

Oppression is a type of injustice. The verb oppress can mean to keep someone down in a social sense, such as an authoritarian government might do in an oppressive society. It can also mean to mentally burden someone, such as with the psychological weight of an oppressive idea. Feminists fight against the oppression of women. Women have been unjustly held back from achieving full equality for much of human history in many societies around the world. Feminist theorists of the 1960s and 1970s looked for new ways to analyze this oppression, often concluding that there were both overt and insidious forces in society that oppressed women. These feminists also drew on the work of earlier authors who had analyzed the oppression of women, including Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex and Mary Wollstonecraft in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Many common types of oppression are described as “isms” such as sexism, racism and so on. The opposite of oppression would be liberation (to remove oppression) or equality (absence of oppression)." } ]	[ { "docid": "D628779#0", "title": "http://everydayfeminism.com/2012/12/how-to-talk-to-someone-about-privilege/\nHow To Talk About Privilege To Someone Who Doesnât Know What That Is", "text": "How To Talk About Privilege To Someone Who Doesn’t Know What That Is December 7, 2012 by Jamie Utt18.4KShare Tweet A black button reads “got privilege?” Credit: White Privilege Conference I once published a piece about white privilege, and my white friend’s dad lost it.

Being based on Brahminical supremacism, Hindutva, as numerous scholars and activists have correctly argued, is as much, or even more, of a danger to the historical victims of Hinduism—Dalits, Adivasis and other oppressed caste groups arbitrarily included within the rubric of ‘Hinduism’—as it is to non-Muslims, such as Christians and Muslims. How, then, does one account for the alarming spread of Hindutva among the oppressed castes, whose interests it is viscerally opposed to at the same time as it rhetorically claims them as fellow ‘Hindus’? What factors have facilitated the large-scale participation of Dalits, Adivasis and other such groups, who have for centuries been oppressed by ‘upper’ caste Hindus in the name of Hinduism, in the Hindutva project? This incisive book seeks to provide some clues to these troubling questions while, at the same time, urging for a radical resistance to Hindutva, not simply on the basis of the threat that it poses to secularism and to religious minorities but also because of the enormous challenge it poses to the emancipation of the oppressed castes and their quest for liberation from caste/class oppression sanctified by Hinduism. In his foreword to the book, noted social scientist KN Pannikar contends that Hindutva forces are committed to preserving the hegemony of the ‘upper’ caste Hindus, this being the core of their agenda. Hence, their claim of representing all ‘Hindus’, including the oppressed castes (who form the majority of the ‘Hindu’ population) is, to put it simply, bogus. An analysis of the agenda and policies of Hindutva clearly reveals, Pannikar writes, its inherent opposition to the material interests and cultural autonomy of the subaltern castes/classes. However, political compulsions have led Hindutva forces to project themselves as supposedly committed to Dalits, Adivasis and other such groups, whose votes are a significant factor in determining outcomes in elections." }, { "docid": "D3407710#0", "title": "http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/passover/faq/purpose-significance-passover.html\nThe Purpose And Significance Of Passover Or Pesach", "text": "\"The Purpose And Significance Of Passover Or Pesach Passover Passover FAQWhat is Passover ?

More specifically, it concerns how we see or fail to see moral issues, why we act or fail to act morally, and whether and to what extent we are responsible for our actions. Fundamentally, it is concerned with our moral agency, the kind of beings we are or ought to be, morally speaking. Feminist moral psychology deals with what feminists, in particular, have contributed to the field of moral psychology, or the ways in which their approach to these issues is motivated by feminist concerns, especially in connection to understanding and attempting to end women's oppression. The feminist contribution to moral psychology has been at least three-fold. First, some feminists emphasize the role of emotion in action; in particular, they stress the motive of care in prompting action. They do so for the reason that emotion in general, and care in particular, have been ignored or denigrated in traditional moral theory due to their association with women. They believe that if we are to end women's oppression, we should incorporate into our philosophical theories things associated with women and with the feminine and so previously left out. Other feminists, though, worry about how care in particular can be harmful to women, and believe that incorporating care into moral theory will perpetuate women's oppression.

The garment is worn over the attire that the wearer considers normal daily clothing, and is removed when the wearer returns to her home. This is primarily intended to prevent the woman's body and face from being seen in public, particularly by men who are not her husband or in her family. Wearing a burka can also be seen as a declaration of religious faith and sentiments, much like other forms of religious garb. The garment itself is symbolic of a specific tradition, and criticisms of women who wear a burka are usually not about the garment itself, but about what it stands for. These garments are typically made of fabric that covers the whole body, which is pleated and attached to a skullcap. A slit or a mesh area is left around the eyes so that the wearer can see. Without much form fitting structure, the garment reveals little of even the human silhouette, such that no aspect of the form of the shoulders, torso, or legs is apparent.

Currently there are two ideological poles, representing the prevailing tendencies within the movement. One is the direction toward new lifestyles within a women's culture, emphasizing personal liberation and growth, and the relationship of women to women. Given our real need to break loose from the old patterns--socially, psychologically, and economically--and given the necessity for new patterns in the post revolutionary society, we understand, support and enjoy this tendency. However, when it is the sole emphasis, we see it leading more toward a kind of formless insulation rather than to a condition in which we can fight for and win power over our own lives. The other direction is one which emphasizes a structural analysis of our society and its economic base. It focuses on the ways in which productive relations oppress us. This analysis is also correct, but its strategy, taken alone, can easily become, or appear to be, insensitive to the total lives of women.

The largest most oppressive legal structure in American history was the institution of slavery. The proposition that one person could own another was limited first by the Emancipation Proclamation and then rendered illegal by the Thirteenth Amendment. Those actions came less than 150 years ago. While slavery was not only about whites' oppression of blacks (there were some blacks who owned slaves), the oppressive system continues in the form of racism. While all cultures have their own variations to the theme of oppression based on race, the general idea is that the darker one's skin, the less social value and power one has.

Philosophical literature in English amounted to a few monographs and a single collection of papers devoted solely, or largely, to questions to do with terrorism. Articles on the subject in philosophy journals were few and far between; neither of the two major philosophy encyclopedias had an entry. The attacks of September 11 and their aftermath put terrorism on the philosophical agenda: it is now the topic of numerous books, journal articles, special journal issues, and conferences. While social sciences study the causes, main varieties, and consequences of terrorism and history traces and attempts to explain the way terrorism has evolved over time, philosophy focuses on two fundamental—and related—questions. The first is conceptual: What is terrorism? The second is moral: Can terrorism ever be morally justified? Philosophers have offered a range of positions on both questions. With regard to the problem of defining terrorism, the dominant approach seeks to acknowledge the core meaning “terrorism” has in common use. Terrorism is understood as a type of violence." }, { "docid": "D1546557#0", "title": "http://www.markfoster.net/struc/criticalpedagogy.html\n.", "text": "\"Critical or Radical Pedagogy: An Application of Critical Theory Critical pedagogy may be defined as an approach to education which encourages students, first, to become conscious of the social oppressions or dominations around them (racism, sexism, etc.) and, second, to reflect on the actions which may be required to become free (emancipated) from those oppressions or dominations.

We're up against a number of obstacles:the lack of awareness that we are the oppressedthe lack of solidarity among the oppressed peoplethe loss of a common tradition of democracy and human rightsthe indifference of oppressed people to their situationLiving in an age of repression, we become accustomed to it. So what if our schools no longer teach people how to read or think, no longer help students gain an understanding of why human liberty is so precious and precarious. Our movies, TV shows, and books present images of \"\"cool,\"\" illiterate, violence-prone savages dressed in the latest styles and exhibiting the popular ego-centered attitudes. Unable to understand the creativity of a well-written novel or screenplay, no longer capable of appreciating the depths of classical music, people today move in a grey world of ego-gratification and violence. Soon the false values become identified as the true, and we have movies such as Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, and As Good As It Gets touted as masterpieces. We only become aware of the oppressive nature of contemporary society when we become the victim of unemployment or a mugging or some other mishap. Trained to be oblivious to the plight of others, we fail to see the hundreds of thousands who suffer from homelessness, lack of medical care, and wage slavery.Since people are encouraged to pursue their own interests, there is no feeling of solidarity and hence no possibility of concerted effort to overcome the oppressive conditions. It seems perfectly normal that a two-class society is rapidly developing, with new billionaires being created every year while millions of workers are laid off, denied welfare, and their tax money stolen by wealthy looters in such scams as the savings and loan fraud, the Mexican \"\"loan\"\" scandal, and the IMF repayment to wealthy investors who suffered from the Asian stockmarket crash.We must begin to awaken ourselves to what's happening in the world and taking action to overcome the oppressive conditions. And here Freire's books are exceptionally helpful.\"\"Who are better prepared than the oppressed to understand the terrible significance of an oppressive society? Who suffer the effects of oppression more than the oppressed? Who can better understand the necessity of liberation? They will not gain this liberation by chance but through the praxis of their quest for it, through their recognition of the necessity to fight for it. And this fight, because of the purpose given it by the oppressed, will actually constitute an act of love opposing the lovelessness which lies at the heart of the oppressors' violence, lovelessness even when clothed in false generosity.\"\"As oppressed people we must become aware of what has happened to us and develop our own sense of what it means to be truly human.\"\"How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation? Only as they discover themselves to be 'hosts' of the oppressor can they contribute to the midwifery of their liberating pedagogy. As long as they live in the duality in which to be is to be like and to be like is to be like the oppressor, this contribution is impossible. The pedagogy of the oppressed is an instrument for their critical discovery that both they and their oppressors are manifestations of dehumanization.\"\"As we begin to struggle against oppressive conditions, we must retain an optimistic attitude, with assurance that the struggle for freedom will ultimately succeed.\"\"In order for the oppressed to be able to wage the struggle for their liberation, they must perceive the reality of oppression not as a closed world from which there is no exit , but as a limiting situation which they can transform.\"\"We need to struggle against all the different forms of oppression:ExternalPolitical: for example, making people think that politicians aren't bought by big moneyEconomic: making people into wage slaves and creating increased unemploymentMilitary: creating huge defense budgets so the military-supply corporations make obscene profitsInformational: making people think that the false information they're being given is trueInternalAllowing ourselves to become people who want others to make all major decisions for usFailing to keep ourselves informed about what's happening in the worldFailing to become aware of our own prejudices and blind spotsMaking ourselves believe that we can't change ourselves and our worldOppressors, persons who have become possessed (literally) with the idea that \"\"having\"\" is the ultimate value, lose the ability to think rationally over time. At present, the plutocratic elite is blind to anything but their own frenzy to gain more wealth and fame. They are unaware that they are creating the very circumstances of their defeat: a society in which larger numbers of people are falling into poverty, where people of all ethnic, gender, and religious groupings are beginning to see that their common enemy is the plutocratic, corporate-based plunderer class.Americans have a history of ultimately ridding themselves of oppression, as in the American revolution and the passing of anti-monopoly laws in this century.

Oppressed is…Someone or a people that is being oppressed is typically under someone else’s control or rule and they are taken advantage of and treated in a harsh or cruel way and so it is seen as the exercise of authority or power over another person or a people and using them for their own purposes in a burdensome, cruel, and unjust manner. It is usually where the people have no control of their own lives and have no freedoms and they are living in a state of bondage. Two great examples of oppression were when the Israelites were in Egypt and African-American were enslaved in American as they were both being oppressed and forced to hard labor against their will. Israel Oppressed in Egypt When the Israelites slaves began to grow large the Egyptians worked them even harder “ But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel ” (Ex 1:12). They were under the severest of bondage and this is a great definition of being oppressed but God would eventually deliver them out of this oppression in what is called the Exodus. Oppressing the Disadvantaged God also strictly prohibits oppression of the disadvantaged and even neighbors as we read in Leviticus 6:2 “ If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against the Lord by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor .”" }, { "docid": "D87255#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/11377109/feminism-flash-cards/\nFeminism", "text": "\"50 terms sj2907Feminism Extended Themes in Political Analysis Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Posted on November 24, 2014 by stevedarcy By S. D’Arcy. In the 19th century, European workers used to refer to themselves as an “oppressed class,” an expression that came to infuse the jargon of revolutionary socialists in that time and place. In the Communist Manifesto (1848), for instance, Marx and Engels analyzed what they called “the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. ”But what did they mean by this term, “oppression”? In the Manifesto itself, “oppression” ( Unterdruckung) seems almost interchangeable with what Marx later, in Capital, came to call “domination” ( Herrschaft ), a term he borrowed from Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. The Manifesto refers to the “slavish existence” of “oppressed classes.” Being “oppressed” is contrasted with “ruling,” so that the counterpart of the oppressed class is the “ruling class” ( herrschenden Klasse ). The classes referred to by Marx as “oppressed classes” (unterdrückter Klassen) were, in essence, those subjected to rule by others, “ a few usurpers ,” or what we now call “the 1%.” In his later work, however, Marx came increasingly to emphasize the theme of “exploitation” ( Ausbeutung )." }, { "docid": "D1805348#0", "title": "http://www.cddc.vt.edu/feminism/mar.html\nIntroduction", "text": "\"Introduction\"\"Marxist Feminism / Materialist Feminism\"\"by Martha E. Gimenez [Copyright Martha E. Gimenez, 1998]It was possible, in the heady days of the Women's Liberation Movement, to identify four main currents within feminist thought; Liberal (concerned with attaining economic and political equality within the context of capitalism); Radical (focused on men and patriarchy as the main causes of the oppression of women); Socialist (critical of capitalism and Marxism, so much so that avoidance of Marxism's alleged reductionisms resulted in dual systems theories postulating various forms of interaction between capitalism and patriarchy); and Marxist Feminism (a theoretical position held by relatively few feminists in the U. S. -- myself included -- which sought to develop the potential of Marxist theory to understand the capitalist sources of the oppression of women). These are, of course, oversimplified descriptions of a rich and complex body of literature which, however, reflected important theoretical, political and social cleavages among women that continue to this date. Divisions in feminist thought multiplied as the effects of post-structuralist and post-modern theorizing merged with grass roots challenges to a feminism perceived as the expression of the needs and concerns of middle and upper middle class white, \"\"First World\"\" women. In the process, the subject of feminism became increasingly difficult to define, as the post- modern critique of \"\"woman\"\" as an essentialist category together with critiques grounded in racial, ethnic, sexual preference and national origin differences resulted in a seemingly never ending proliferation of \"\"subject positions,\"\" \"\"identities,\"\" and \"\"voices.\"\" Cultural and identity politics replaced the early focus on capitalism and (among Marxist feminists primarily) class divisions among women; today class has been reduced to another \"\"ism;\"\" i.e., to another form oppression which, together with gender and race integrate a sort of mantra, something that everyone ought to include in theorizing and research though, to my knowledge, theorizing about it remains at the level of metaphors (e.g., interweaving, interaction, interconnection etc.). It was, therefore, very interesting to me to read, a few years ago, a call for papers for an edited book on Materialist Feminism. The description of Materialist Feminism put forth by the editors, Chrys Ingraham and Rosemary Hennessy, was to me indistinguishable from Marxist Feminism. This seemed such a promising development in feminist theory that I proceeded to invite the editors to join me in creating an electronic discussion list on Materialist Feminism, Mat Fem. Initially, I thought that Materialist Feminism was simply another way of referring to Marxist Feminism, but I was mistaken; the two are, to some extent, distinct forms of feminist theorizing. There is, however, such similarities between Materialist and Marxist Feminist thought in some feminists' work that some degree of confusion between the two is to be expected." }, { "docid": "D3168210#0", "title": "http://www.academia.edu/1708285/Young_and_the_Problem_of_Pseudo-Oppression\nYoung and the Problem of Pseudo-Oppression", "text": "doc Young and the Problem of Pseudo-Oppression13 Pages Young and the Problem of Pseudo-Oppression Uploaded by Jennifer Szendeconnect to download Get doc Young and the Problem of Pseudo-Oppression Download Young and the Problem of Pseudo-Oppression Jennifer Szende Queen’s University, Kingston, ON Presented at FEAST Conference 2011 Abstract: Young’s account of oppression starts from the use of the term by emancipatory social movements such as the civil rights movement. Young employs Wittgensteinian methodology including a use theory of meaning. This paper examines the implications for her work of the adoption of the language of oppression and emancipation by groups on the far right. Their adoption of the language of oppression affects the meaning of the term and provides contradictory answers about how to understand such uses of the term. The example reveals an underlying tension in Young’s argument, and more generally in language-use arguments for political purposes. Keywords: use theory of meaning; family resemblance; oppression; Iris Marion Young. In her chapter “Five Faces of Oppression”, published in her Justice and the Politics of Difference (1990), Iris Marion Young explicates claims of oppression made by emancipatory social movements. Young provides examples of such movements including socialism, American Indian activism, Black activism, radical feminism, and gay and lesbian activism. Young’s aim is to “systematize the meaning of the concept of oppression as used by these diverse political movements, and to provide normative argument to clarify the wrongs the term names” (1990: 40). For Young, understanding oppression is an important political move towards a more just society: some groups are harmed by the status quo, and identifying the harm as ‘oppression’ helps to mobilize and push towards change." } ]

When the light shines into the eye, the pupil naturally shrinks smaller to protect the eye from what it perceives to be bright sunlight. By putting special eye drops into the eye, the doctor can make the pupil open wide, just as it does when we enter a darkened room. The doctor can see much more clearly to examine our inner eye through this wide opening, making the examination far more effective and thorough. Although having the pupils dilated is a time-consuming inconvenience, it is a necessary part of your preventative eyecare.

Toric contact lenses are made from the same materials as regular contact lenses, so they can be either soft or RGP. The difference is in the design of the lens. Toric lenses have two powers in them, created with curvatures at different angles (one for astigmatism, the other for either myopia or hyperopia). There's also a mechanism to keep the contact lens relatively stable on the eye when you blink or look around. To provide crisp vision, toric contact lenses cannot rotate on your eye.

Up to 50% of all people with glaucoma in Australia are not even aware they have the condition. However, if it is diagnosed early enough, treatment can begin and serious vision loss can be prevented. The term glaucoma actually refers to a group of conditions that lead to eye (optic) nerve damage. This nerve transmits signals from the eye to the brain to produce the image that we see. When a significant number of nerve fibres are damaged, blind spots begin to appear in our side (peripheral) field of vision and then central vision, until eventually all sight is lost. Vision loss caused by glaucoma is permanent. Most cases of glaucoma are due to an increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure), either from the drainage angle being closed (angle-closure glaucoma) or the drainage angle being open but damaged (open-angle glaucoma). A specific part of the eye called the trabecular meshwork provides natural resistance to the drainage of fluid from the eye. It is a failure of this meshwork that often causes raised eye pressure and, in turn, glaucoma nerve damage." }, { "docid": "D619945#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/why-do-they-dilate-my-eyes-for-an-eye-exam.htm\nWhy do They Dilate my Eyes for an Eye Exam?", "text": "Getting regular eye exams is an important way to monitor your optical and general health. Part of a thorough eye exam is pupil dilation, which is accomplished by putting eye drops in the eye which will force your pupil to stay open, even in bright light. The procedure is not uncomfortable, but it does represent a loss of part of your day, as the drops take approximately 30 minutes to work, and you will have difficulty seeing for around an hour after your exam, until the drops have stopped working. Some patients question whether or not they need pupil dilation with every eye exam. Pupil dilation is extremely important, because it allows the optometrist to see all the way into the back of the eye. During a normal eye exam, the optometrist will use a bright light and a lens to look into the eye, inspecting the health of the cornea, iris, and lens of the eye. However, the bright light causes the pupil to contract, making it difficult for the optometrist to see the back of the eye. When the regular eye exam is done, the optometrist will dilate your pupils so that he or she can completely check your optical health. The back of the eye hosts the retina, optic nerve, and important blood vessels. When your pupils are open, the optometrist will be able to clearly see these parts of the eye and evaluate them." }, { "docid": "D1632924#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-function-of-iris-in-human-eye\nWhat is the function of iris in human eye?", "text": "Alok Bhat, C++ Developer (2015-present)Answered Feb 29, 2016Iris controls the size of pupil regulating the light that reaches the retina. For better understanding, fold your fingers to form a fist in the below manner. Now move your figers closer making a tight fist. Leave them loose to give more gap in the centre. As you can see, the size of gap varies depending on how you hold your fingers. Now relate this to structure of eyes. Consider fingers now as the iris and the gap in between them as the pupil. When the light around you is low, the iris makes the pupils larger to gather more light for improving sight. When the light around you is bright, it decreases the size of your pupils letting only small amount of light onto the retina to avoid any stress to the sensitive parts of your eyes.

Patients frequently ask me how long their pupils will remain dilated after the eye exam. How long do eye dilation drops last? Eye Doctors use different drops,different strengths, and different dosages when dilating your pupils. If you are having light flashes or symptoms that could indicated retina problems two different drops may be used in higher concentration and several doses. A routine exam may only require less dilation and milder drops. Eye color effects the duration of dilation. Since brown pigment in the iris is essentially the only eye pigment, blue eyes lack significant color and gain their blue shade from light reflecting in the iris. Pigment binds the dilating drops and require higher doses but blue eyes react faster and more to dilation drops." }, { "docid": "D1304227#0", "title": "http://www.goodhopeeyeclinic.org.uk/pvd.htm\nPosterior Vitreous Detachment", "text": "\"The Vitreous See full size animation A clear jelly, the vitreous or 'vitreous', fills the middle of the eye.

This is often done by placing a dye in the eye from a thin strip of paper coated with the dye. This dye stains the front of the eye and enables a better eye examination.

According to new research, these animals have lost their ability to perceive any flavors save for salty, Science NOW reports . Scientists analyzed the genomes of 15 different cetacean species, including baleen whales, sperm whales and bottlenose dolphins. Most of the genes responsible for taste sensations, Science NOW says, were riddled with mutations and useless for producing the proteins necessary for taste. Only the genes connected to salty flavors remained functional. These mutations likely occurred around 53 million years ago, after cetaceans’ shared ancestors evolved to live in the water, the team told Science NOW. The mutations, the scientists think, probably arose because those animals swallow their prey whole and don’t need to perceive flavor, which is typically released by chewing. Usually, taste can clue an animal into whether the food it’s eating is nourishing or toxic, Science NOW explains.

Or maybe you just looked at your thumb as you picked up a carrot to eat it and thought “wow, that’s pretty cool I can pick things up like that!” In all these scenarios, you are contemplating what it means to be a primate. Building on the Mammal Pattern One of the important things to know as we ask “what makes a primate a primate” is that the primate characteristics we see are all built on mammal characteristics. All primates are mammals. This means that based on what we know about mammals, we can assume some basic things about how primates are put together, how they function, and what they do.

Similar to other apes, orangutans have opposable thumbs that allow them to easily grasp trees, food and other objects. These apes thrive on diets consisting of high amounts of fruit, bark, bird eggs and grubs. These foods are often scarce, which leads most orangutans to lead solitary lifestyles to eliminate competition for food." }, { "docid": "D1335585#0", "title": "http://www.orangutanrepublik.org/become-aware/orangutan-specifics-40237/orangutan-evolution\nOrangutan Evolution", "text": "Print Email Orangutan Evolution The similarities between orangutans and humans, and the closeness of our evolutionary history, is often cited as a primary reason for the importance of orangutan conservation initiatives, but what this actually means, and just how closely related we are to Asia’s only great ape, is often confusing. Genetic studies in to the DNA structure of orangutans and humans has shown that our genome, our hereditary information, differs by a remarkably small amount. As such, orangutans and humans both belong to the scientific order known as the primates, the group of mammals that contains all the monkeys, prosimians (the pre-monkeys) and apes living today. One of the oldest surviving mammal groups, the primate lineage is thought to go back at least 65 million years ago, when small, arboreal, insect eating mammals, referred to as the Euarochonta, were beginning the process of speciation that eventually led to the primates we see today, one of the most diverse and varied groups of animals (Dawkins, 2004). Primates inhabit almost every part of the world, with the non-human species’ found predominantly in tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Central and South America. While there isn’t one unique characteristic that defines a primate, there are a number of characteristics that are found throughout species of this order, including an opposable thumb, which aids strong, grasping hands; forward facing eyes, which allow three-dimensional viewing; eye sockets, which protect the eyeball; fingerprints unique to each individual, and much larger brains, in comparison to body size (Redmond, 2008). Primates are divided in to two scientific sub-orders. The primates considered the most primitive, or those that have retained the most number of features of the ancestral primates, are classified as being Strepsirrhines, and include the lemurs of Madagascar, the galago’s potto’s and angwantibo’s of Africa, and the lorises of Asia. The tarsiers, monkeys and apes are classified as Haplorhines, on account of their larger brains, specially adapted hands and feet, and wider range of facial features, a result of the lack of a rhinarium, or a wet snout. Around 30 million years ago, the primates of the Haplorhini divided in to two further groups, the Platyrrhini, which now consists of the modern day New World monkeys of South and Central America, and the Catharinni, made up of the Old World monkeys of Africa and Asia, and the apes." }, { "docid": "D1295288#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_family_does_the_orangutan_belong_to\nWhat is an orangutan?", "text": "I boie 19 Contributions What is an orangutan?

However, they are known to be on the ground about 5% of the time. They may do so more often too if they are running short on food supplies up higher. The tiger and other big cats are known to make meals out of orangutans, especially the smaller ones. They can hide well in the forest and pounce quickly before the orangutan has a chance to move. They also can climb into the trees so if they aren’t having much luck finding food on the ground they will go up higher.

Spotting on the anaconda also helps the snake blend into muddy waters, a perk for when the snake is attempting to catch a meal. The spotted pattern allows the snake to lie and wait stealthily for animals to come closer without being identified.

Wild orangutans are selective but opportunistic so if there is an emergency of tasty and nutritious insects, they may feed all day on them. Likewise, if fruit and insects are unavailable, they may eat bark, leaves and foods of lower nutritional value to satisfy their hunger.

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." }, { "docid": "D2585294#0", "title": "http://www.orangutan-world.com/orangutan-predators/\nOrangutan Predators", "text": "Orangutan Predators Orangutan Enemies The orangutan doesn’t have very many predators by nature. However, they also don’t have very much to defend themselves with so it is a good match. The fact that they are found almost always in the trees helps to protect them from a variety of land animals. However, they are known to be on the ground about 5% of the time. They may do so more often too if they are running short on food supplies up higher. The tiger and other big cats are known to make meals out of orangutans, especially the smaller ones. They can hide well in the forest and pounce quickly before the orangutan has a chance to move. They also can climb into the trees so if they aren’t having much luck finding food on the ground they will go up higher. These big cats are often night time hunters which is when they orangutans will be sleeping.

Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) EN© Jean-Paul Ferrero/Auscape International1Overview The orangutan is the only great ape that occurs outside Africa, and is the largest arboreal mammal in the world. Orangutans are extremely intelligent, and have shown evidence of tool use and culture - traits once believed to be uniquely human. Despite being one of our closest relatives, human activities are having a devastating impact on the species. Orangutans are the slowest breeding of all mammal species, giving birth to a single young every 6-8 years. With such a low reproductive rate even a small decrease in numbers can lead to extinction. Scientists predict that unless immediate action is taken, this peaceful primate could be the first great ape to become extinct in the wild.

Orangutans are currently only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan ( P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan ( P. abelii ). In November 2017 it was reported that a third species had been identified, the Tapanuli orangutan ( P. tapanuliensis ).

Gorillas have evolved a distinct diet, social organization and method of locomotion to help the species to survive. Gorilla Classification and Diversity Scientists recognize two species of gorilla -- eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei) and western gorillas (G. gorilla) -- each with two subspecies. The eastern lowland and mountain gorilla live in the central portions of equatorial Africa, while the western lowland and Cross River gorilla inhabit western Africa. Each subspecies exhibits morphological differences; many of which have obvious adaptive advantages, such as the longer hair, larger size and shortened forearms of mountain gorillas, which help them to survive in the cooler climate. Diet Unlike their two closest relatives -- humans and chimpanzees, who consume plant and animal food -- gorillas are largely herbivorous. Large gorillas may consume up to 60 pounds of leaves, grasses, shoots and bark in a day.

Spotting on the anaconda also helps the snake blend into muddy waters, a perk for when the snake is attempting to catch a meal. The spotted pattern allows the snake to lie and wait stealthily for animals to come closer without being identified. The snakes eyes and nostrils are on top of their head, allowing them to lay underwater while continuing to ambush their prey.

Because over 60% of their diet is fruit (based on averaging thousands of observations), they are considered frugivores; however, orangutans also will eat young leaves (approximately 25% of their diet), flowers and bark (approximately 10%) and insects, mainly ants, termites, pupae, and crickets (approximately 5%). Wild orangutans are selective but opportunistic so if there is an emergency of tasty and nutritious insects, they may feed all day on them. Likewise, if fruit and insects are unavailable, they may eat bark, leaves and foods of lower nutritional value to satisfy their hunger. Wild orangutans learn to eat hundreds of different food types as youngsters by observing their mother and being allowed to take food from their mother's mouth or hands.

Flanged adult male orangutans are the most solitary of all orangutan age/sex classes. Their participation in social groups is usually limited to temporary sexual “consortships” with adult and adolescent females. Wild orangutan fathers play no direct role in the upbringing of their offspring. Non-receptive adult females associate with their young, with other adult females, and with adolescents who are not necessarily their own and generally avoid mature males. The mother-young relationship lasts for many years, whereas the time spent with other orangutans is relatively short. Subadult males usually associate with females, particularly with adolescents, but are not generally aggressive towards other males. Adolescent females travel together, especially when age differences are minimal. This semi-solitary social system may have evolved as a result of a ripe fruit diet, scattered food distribution, and a lack of large arboreal predators.

They selectively choose ripe fruit whose seeds are adapted to withstand passage through the orangutans' gut. Once the seeds have passed through the gut, they find themselves in their own little compost pile, which helps them to become established. Unlike oil-palm shoots, orangutans love to eat Nipa palm or Pandanus (pictured above). What Do Orangutans Eat? Over 400 food types have been documented as part of the orangutans’ diet, and although it consists mainly of fruit, in times of scarcity orangutans will shift their eating habits to lower quality food, such as bark, leaves & termites, rather than travel to a different area. How Orangutans Help the Rainforest Ecosystem As well as acting as seed dispersers, orangutans help to open up the forest canopy. This allows light to reach the forest floor, which helps the forest to regenerate naturally. They are a vital cog in the workings of the rainforest ecosystem.

As soon as staff members realized Menari wasn't eating, they moved the 3-pound baby to a nursery in the zoo's Animal Health Care Center, where caretakers took turns sleeping on a cot next to her, bottle-feeding her every two hours, giving her the attention newborns need, and changing her Preemie Pampers. \"\" You have to put them on backwards or they get ripped right off,\"\" Fernandez said. Although Menari required an abundance of care during the first months of her life, she was well worth the trouble.

Orangutans live entirely in trees. The reason why orangutans are endangered can be summed up with two words: habitat loss. Pressure to destroy mature forests and orangutans comes from multiple sources. The demise of an orangutan population often begins with building a road through pristine forest. A new road brings in entrepreneurs and settlers keen to exploit the tropical forest and clear land. Loggers, farmers, poachers and pet dealers all play a role in the endangered orangutan's decline. Deforestation over the last few decades has devastated orangutans. The number of orangutans on Borneo dropped by over half in the last 60 years. On Sumatra, the orangutan population is just one-fifth of what it was 75 years ago." }, { "docid": "D2120282#0", "title": "http://diettogo.com/blog/healthy-brands-3-best-butter-substitutes\nThe 3 Best Butter Substitutes - Healthier Options for Butter Lovers", "text": "\"The 3 Best Butter Substitutes - Healthier Options for Butter Loversby Guest Author, Jun 25, 2009Tweet In addition to being darn tasty, butter comes naturally packaged with many nutrients that can help protect you from chronic disease.

When orangutans do stand, their hands nearly touch the ground. Life in the Trees Orangutans' arms are well suited to their lifestyle because they spend much of their time (some 90 percent) in the trees of their tropical rain forest home.

The research on this phenomenon is not very extensive, but is showing some promising progress in the realm of understanding why killer whales have started attacking great whites. Some researchers are taking advantage of the opportunity to explore how this new breakthrough can help deflect sharks from coastal areas and popular beaches where high numbers of surfers and beachgoers congregate. The Farallon Islands, located off the San Francisco coast, are a critical base of research, where scientists monitor—among other things—13 different species of birds, five pinniped species, and great white sharks. The researchers studying the fierce predators arrive to the Farallon Islands in the summertime, when white sharks are known to frequent the area in order to feed on the abundant numbers of pinnipeds, or seals. This season is known to last through the fall months. It all started back in the late 1990s when a group of researchers made the annual trek to the Farallon Islands to observe the great white feeding season. They recorded the presence of killer whales in the area, which also feed on the pinnipeds, and thereafter witnessed a killer whale bully a great white. The orca proceeded to kill the great white. Researchers also noted that great white sightings ceased following the event." }, { "docid": "D872833#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Do_sharks_have_any_known_predators\nDo sharks have any known predators?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Ecology and Bionomics Environmental Issues Endangered, Vulnerable, and Threatened Species Do sharks have any known predators?

As a matter of fact, the sperm whale is the only toothed whale that is considered a great whale because of its immense size. All of the other great whales like the blue, fin, humpback, gray, and right whale do not even have teeth. Instead they have baleen plates which are used to strain their food which consists of plankton, krill, small schooling fish, and cocopods.

All toothed whales belong to the suborder Odontoceti, which is Latin for \"\"toothed whales\"\". The orca is the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family, Delphinidae. Other members of this family include the bottlenose dolphin, long-beaked common dolphin, and pilot whale. The orca's scientific name is Orcinus orca, which means \"\"whale-like whale\"\". Killer whales are black with white eye patches, white side patches, and a white underbelly. A gray patch posterior to the dorsal fin is called the \"\"saddle patch\"\". Males are larger than females, exceeding lengths of 30ft and weights of 8-9 tons. Females usually attain lengths of about 20ft, and weights of four tons." }, { "docid": "D155209#0", "title": "http://www.killer-whale.org/\nKiller Whale Facts and Information", "text": "Killer Whale Facts and Information Facts about Killer Whales, Habitat, Feeding, Anatomy, Evolution Orca Social Structure, Communication and Orca Conservation Introduction to Orcas Throughout history, orcas have been inadequately considered and the lack of knowledge about them, as well as the myths that have circulated for generations, have caused them to be cataloged as sea monsters, enemies of all aquatic species and mainly, “killer” whales. This belief comes from long ago. Their scientific name is Orcinus orca, from it, the word Orcinus means “from the realm of the dead,” relating to the Roman god Orcus master of the underworld. Later, poor translations ended in a name that eventually brought more fear to people, killer whales; both titles are incorrect. That is why now conservation groups are trying to eradicate that name to be replaced simply by orcas. Killer whales are marine mammals belonging to the family Delphinidae, formed by several species of dolphins, false killer whales and pilot whales. They are only related to whales up in the higher Cetacean order; however, most whales belong to the suborder Mysticeti (baleen whales) while orcas belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales).

There are at least 32 known species of dolphins, many of which remain largely unstudied. A few species, though, have stood out from the crowd and haven't been shy about showing off their skills for humans. Dall's Porpoise This little guy is considered the \"\"speed demon\"\" of dolphins. Weighing 480 pounds or less, he is one of the smaller dolphins, but his burst swimming speeds have been reported to be as fast as 34.5 miles per hour. When comparing dolphin swimming speeds, he has earned the title of fastest swimming dolphin. The Dall's porpoise can be found across the North Pacific, from Japan to the Bering Sea, and as far south as the United States-Mexico border. He eats mostly smaller fish, such as anchovies, herring and smelt, but will also dine on octopus and squid, and occasionally on crabs and shrimp. The body of the Dall's porpoise is dark grey or black with white panels, and can be distinguished from all other dolphins by the white \"\"frosting\"\" on his tail flukes and dorsal fin.

The ocean is very cold so the blubber helps them not lose too much body heat and keep some of that heat in. It is like a thick coat to keep them warm in the deepest of oceans.456 Viewspromoted by Pretty Litter Will you know if your cat is sick?

By Ethan Shaw; Updated April 25, 2017The whorled tusk of the narwhal may have contributed to the legend of the mythical unicorn, but the real flesh-and-blood animal is hardly less fantastical. This unusual toothed whale inhabits the high polar seas of the Arctic Ocean, traveling in large groups called pods and sometimes diving to remarkable depths. While it is not endangered, the narwhal is considered “near threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or IUCN, which gauges a species’ risk of extinction. Narwhal Basics The word “narwhal” comes from the Norse, meaning “corpse whale” -- a reference to the pallid tone of the animal’s hide, suggestive of the look of a drowned human. Narwhals belong to a small family of toothed whales, the Monodontidae, the only other member of which is the tusk-less beluga whale, also called the white whale. Narwhals are roughly cigar-shaped, with a blunt head, a pair of small flippers and convex tail flukes. In place of a dorsal fin the whales have a shallow ridge running along the tail-ward half of their back. Only the males typically possess a tusk, although the rare female may grow one; the modified tooth may exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length and weigh 10 kilograms (22 lbs.). Not counting his tusk, a male narwhal reaches about 5 meters (16 feet) long and weighs 1600 kilograms (3,527 lbs. )," }, { "docid": "D1207544#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Is-it-safe-to-swim-with-wild-Orca\nIs it safe to swim with wild Orca?", "text": "\"Killer Whales Safety Swimming Animals Is it safe to swim with wild Orca?3 Answers Petter Häggholm, minor encyclopedia poorly disguised as a human computer programmer.

On the other hand, there have been extremely few attacks by wild orcas on humans, and most of them are only dubiously qualified as attacks, in my opinion: when a pod attempted to tip the ice floe an expedition were standing on, did they really want the humans, or were they just after the dogs? When an orca dragged a human down to near drowning by grabbing and diving with a bag of crayfish that the human happened to be attached to, does that really count as an attack rather than unfortunate accident? — And to my knowledge there is one single documented instance of a wild orca biting a human, ever; this was in 1972. Moreover, not one of these extremely rare events resulted in a human death, in spite of the size, power, and intelligence of the predators. So it seems that wild orcas just don’t have any desire to eat, kill, or even harm humans. But orcas are big, powerful, and very fast-moving animals when they want to be, and I don’t know that they would necessarily care much about humans in the water. I have no experience to base this on at all, but I would expect that an attempt to swim with wild orcas is most likely to end in disappointment as they swim off at a slow, lazy pace faster than you can ever swim.10.4k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

The dorsal surface and pectoral flippers are black except for a grayish patch (saddle) that lies behind the dorsal fin and a white eyespot located just above and slightly behind each eye.

Because most commercially available Cymbidium orchids are terrestrials, they must have special, loose media to grow in. Typically, they thrive in a medium or fine fir bark mix or a specified Cymbidium potting mix. While this guide provides specific tips for one orchid, make sure to review Orchid Care Guide for All Types which provides general orchid care instruction relevant to Cymbidiums. Cymbidium Care Basics These quick tips are followed by more in-depth information about pruning and propagating Cymbidium orchids as well as specific care instructions for each phase of its life cycle. Light: Cymbidium orchid light requirements include: morning sun or afternoon sun, with protection from the hot mid-day sun. A light-green leaf with just a hint of yellow indicates the maximum amount of sun the plant can take, and a dark-green leaf indicates not enough sun. Temperature: Cymbidiums will tolerate considerable summer heat as long as they get cool, mild night temperatures –between 50-65°F. Cold weather, even down to 30°F for a few hours a time or two, will not damage an acclimatized plant. But once the plant spikes or flowers, it should be protected from temperatures below 35°F." }, { "docid": "D1947507#0", "title": "http://www.orchidblog.com/orchid-care-before-and-after-blooming/\nOrchid Care Before and After Blooming", "text": "Orchid Care Before and After Bloomingby Mary Ann Orchids which are given good care before and after blooming will continue on the path of their growth cycle and bloom again. Many people fear that their orchids won’t re-bloom, but this fear is unfounded if you follow some basics of orchid care. Begin by purchasing a plant that is mature and has already bloomed once or is in the process of blooming. That way you guarantee a basic degree of success and should not have an orchid which never blooms. It is your efforts at orchid care which will be rewarded with its next period of flower production. So, let’s look at some of the basics of orchid care before blooming…Orchids need a goodly amount of water but not too much water. It depends on the kind of orchid you have that determines how much is enough. For instance, some orchids should get very dry before watering while others should not. If you have a moth orchid, which is one of the easiest to grow, the soil should not get overly dry nor should it ever be soggy. The situation is much the same with orchid care and humidity." }, { "docid": "D1020142#0", "title": "http://www.namesofflowers.net/orchids.html\nOrchids", "text": "Orchids Orchids are lovely, complex and diverse flowers.

It’s even more frustrating to watch an orchid develop buds that shrivel and drop without ever opening. Here are eight reasons your orchid won’t bloom, and what to do about them.01of 08Not Enough Light Peter Orr Photography/Moment Open/Getty Images Inadequate light is the number one reason orchids refuse to bloom or rebloom. Dendrobium, cattleya, and cymbidium orchids are three popular varieties that like bright conditions. If your orchid never leaves the dim confines of the house or office, you may need a grow light to achieve flowers.02of 08Too Much Light Linda Burgess/Photolibrary/Getty Images If you’ve placed your orchid in full sun, you may notice severe symptoms like sunburned leaves, but even an overabundance of artificial light can suppress blooming. In addition to cooler evening temperatures, the shortening days of autumn can signal an orchid to form buds. If you’re keeping your orchid in a room where the lights stay on 24 hours a day, your orchid misses this important natural cue.

Here is what our writers are hearing: Monday's trade buzz Rangers drafted Dillon Tate three picks ahead of Andrew Benintendi. Now he nets two months of Carlos Beltran.— David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield) August 1, 2016David Schoenfield's take: You can't deny Beltran's numbers, as he's hitting .304/.344/.546, though some of that is the result of the cozy dimensions at Yankee Stadium, where he's slugging .961 (compared to .817 on the road). The Rangers will slot him at DH, which means they don't trust Joey Gallo to do the job down the stretch. Beltran has a history of performing in the postseason, of course, though it doesn't look like he'd perform well in this postseason if the Rangers get there.

It’s important for you to note that the clocks go forward on the night of the Saturday to Sunday of the last weekend in March (at 02:00 the clocks go forward to 03:00). So make sure you change your clocks and set your alarms accordingly if you have a visit or activity planned, or more importantly if you have a train or flight to catch.

Festa de Sant Medir This fiesta consists of a pilgrimage (a trip to a shrine) on horseback, which is embarked upon by various “colles” (groups of people) from the areas of Gràcia and Sant Gervasi de Cassoles in Barcelona, to the hermitage of Sant Medir in the neighbouring town of Sant Cugat del Vallès, to be blessed by the Saint. Throughout the journey they throw thousands of kilos of sweets into the streets, that the children (and indeed the not so young!) fight to catch. If you’re in the city on this day with children, you might like to head up to the Gràcia neighborhood so that your little ones can catch some of the offerings that are thrown out from the carriages, and when they have passed you can continue with your sightseeing.

He consistently throws over 100 mph and brings a slider in the 90s. Expect to see speed and a lot of it. That’s exactly what happened to J. J. Hardy during the ninth inning of the Yankees’ win over the Orioles. Chapman threw a pitch to Hardy that Statcast registered at a ridiculous 105.1 mph, which ties the MLB mark for the fastest pitch recorded … also thrown by Chapman in 2010.

Hardy eventually flied out to left, and Chapman earned his 19th save of the season.

They also forage for insects and fruits in brush and shrubbery. Baltimore Orioles have adapted well to human settlement and often feed and nest in parks, orchards, and backyards. On their winter range in Central America, Baltimore Orioles occupy open woodlands, gardens, and shade-grown coffee and cacao plantations. They frequently visit flowering trees and vines in search of fruit and nectar. Back to top Food Baltimore Orioles eat insects, fruit, and nectar. The proportion of each food varies by season: in summer, while breeding and feeding their young, much of the diet consists of insects, which are rich in the proteins needed for growth. In spring and fall, nectar and ripe fruits compose more of the diet; these sugary foods are readily converted into fat, which supplies energy for migration. Baltimore Orioles eat a wide variety of insects, including beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, moths, and flies, as well as spiders, snails, and other small invertebrates. They eat many pest species, including tent caterpillars, gypsy moth caterpillars, fall webworms, spiny elm caterpillars, and the larvae within plant galls." }, { "docid": "D762878#0", "title": "http://www.wild-bird-watching.com/Baltimore-Oriole.html\nBaltimore Oriole Habits", "text": "\"Home > Common Birds > Baltimore Oriole Baltimore Oriole Habits Tweet Orioles Feeding At Fruit Feeder Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Following the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the great Babe Ruth inspired disillusioned fans with his towering home runs and larger than life persona. Years later, Cal Ripken’s unparalleled work ethic and outstanding play on the diamond gave alienated fans of another generation a reason to come back to the game.

He was the second child and first son of Violet “Vi” and Calvin Edwin “Cal” Ripken Sr. Ripken Sr. was a former professional baseball player who started his career as a highly touted catcher in the Baltimore farm system. After suffering a career-ending shoulder injury, he went on to manage a number of the Orioles’ minor league affiliates, eventually working his way up to Baltimore where he coached and later managed the Orioles.

Often the result of a traumatic incident such as a motor vehicle accident or a bad fall, pelvic and acetabular fractures require rapid and precise treatment and, in some cases, one or more surgical procedures. People of all ages are vulnerable to these injuries. In addition, some elderly patients with fragile bones due to osteoporosis develop pelvic fractures and fractures of the acetabulum with a lower impact fall. Radiograph of a normal pelvis The complex nature of these fractures can be better understood by looking at the anatomy that is involved. The pelvis is made up of several bones (ileum, ischium and pubic bones) which create a bony ring, meeting at the pubic symphysis in the front and the sacrum (a bone situated at the lower end of the spine) in the back. Together with a number of ligaments and muscles, the bones of the pelvis support the weight of the upper body and rest on the hip joints. The pelvis protects abdominal organs including the intestines and the bladder, as well as major nerves and blood vessels. Pelvic fractures may occur at any location on the bones depending on the nature of the accident and the areas of impact.

However, many physicians are not comfortable prescribing psychiatric medications. You say you \"\"might not be able to see a psychiatrist until January\"\" which suggests you've looked into, but not scheduled, an appointment. Many providers would be more comfortable starting you on something knowing that you have an upcoming appointment with a psychiatrist.

To that end, hospitals are eyeing better cost and quality equations. January 13, 2015 Geri Aston Hospitals are using a variety of strategies to cut costs while improving care quality in their service lines. Some take a well-defined approach, such as clinical co-management, in which service line governance is shared and physicians get a management fee and are eligible for bonuses tied to performance. Other hospitals use structures specific to their own institutions. Others use a mixture of methods. No matter the model, the goal is the same — to use evidence-based medicine to create metrics, protocols and care pathways that reduce unwanted variations in care and improve patients’ experiences and outcomes. That work, in turn, lowers costs by reducing lengths of stay, decreasing complication rates and cutting readmission rates. The end result is value, which opens the door to participating in new payment models, such as accountable care organizations, global pricing and payment bundling, and to competing on price for the growing ranks of consumers with high-deductible health plans, says Robert A.

Cramps in the hands, arms, abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common. “When a person experiences a muscle cramp, the muscle that is cramping feels harder than normal to the touch or may even show visible signs of twitching,” Dr. Quist says.

There are subtle and not-so-subtle differences in the admissions practices and educational paths of DO vs MD schools, as well as the percentages of MD vs DO physicians in different specialties. Let’ s dive in!Why would I consider the DO route? You’re into alternative medicine, public health, or preventative care. Osteopathic medical training is becoming increasingly popular as U. S. lawmakers are concerned about the high cost of care and as such, more interested in preventative care and alternative methods of reducing such costs. In fact, research centers are popping up at some of the most prestigious schools ( Harvard , UConn, Princeton) thanks to serious funding from the NIH to study and apply alternative medical treatments. So, any of that sounds compelling, you might want to explore the DO route, since your training will likely introduce you to a range of alternative therapies and theories MDs don’t focus on much during med school. That’s not to say you can’t get into preventative, alternative or manipulative care if you go the MD route. MD grads are free to explore fellowships and masters degrees in these fields after—or even before, in the case of MD/MPH joint degree programs—they graduate." }, { "docid": "D1043000#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-is-osteopathic-manipulative-medicine.htm\nWhat is Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine?", "text": "Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is literally a hands-on method of treating medical conditions. A doctor of osteopathy (DO) uses manual therapy, or the hands, to stretch, apply pressure, or provide resistance to muscles and joints. Doctors of osteopathy go through training similar to medical doctors. In addition, a DO receives extra training regarding how to perform osteopathic therapy. Traditional medicine typically focuses on a disease or a part of the body. In contrast, osteopathic manipulative medicine strives to treat a patient as a whole. While the lines between traditional medicine and osteopathic medicine have blurred with the growth of preventative medicine, the philosophical differences remain. Doctors of osteopathy and medical doctors (MD) receive similar training. A DO goes through four years of medical school and participates in a residency or internship program.

They are similarly educated and certified, but there are differences in their training and philosophy of patient care. Nine out of 10 practicing doctors in this country are MDs or allopathic physicians, according to the latest data published by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) in 2012. As the FSMB points out in its Census of Actively Licensed Physicians, however, “the osteopathic medical profession continues to experience exponential growth in its numbers. ”The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) estimates the number of DOs in active medical practice in the United States will surpass 100,000 by next year. According to AOA data, 10 states saw greater than 45 percent growth in the number of DOs between 2009 and 2014. While your chances of choosing a doctor who’s a DO may be on the rise, most healthcare consumers aren’t sure what osteopathy actually is. The key, according to the AOA, is osteopathy’s “whole person” approach to medicine. “The osteopathic philosophy involves treating the mind, the body, and the spirit. It’s a more holistic approach,” says Michael Jonesco, DO, of Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University in Columbus. “" }, { "docid": "D2048478#0", "title": "https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/cranial-osteopathy-in-dentistry/\nCranial Osteopathy in Dentistry", "text": "Editor’s note: Having just submitted a major grant on Friday and then having had to turn around and head to an NIH study section meeting today in Bethesda, I just didn’t have the time to produce something up to the usual standards of SBM for today.

[ 1] Parts of osteopathy, such as cranial therapy, have been labeled pseudoscience and are said to have no therapeutic value. [ 2] [3] The techniques are based on an ideology created by Andrew Taylor Still (1828–1917) which posits the existence of a myofascial continuity – a tissue layer that connects all parts of the body. Non-physician osteopaths and osteopathic physicians attempt to diagnose and treat somatic dysfunction by manipulating a person's bones and muscles and therefore address a variety of ailments. OMT techniques are most commonly used to treat back pain and other musculoskeletal issues, and are less commonly used to treat systemic conditions such as asthma and Parkinson's disease. [ 1] [4]OMT is based on the idea that a myofascial continuity \"\"links every part of the body with every other part\"\"; a practitioner, through a \"\"skillful and dexterous use of the hands\"\" treats what was originally called \"\"the osteopathic lesion\"\", but which is now named \"\"somatic dysfunction\"\". [ 1] The most commonly treated ailment is back pain, although some practitioners claim OMT can be used to treat a wide range of conditions.

Most grocers sell it, since it is a very popular food around the world. To harvest honey, humans set up apiaries, facilities specifically designed for housing bees. The beekeeper provides a solid structure for the bees to use as a hive, and an assortment of flowers may be planted in the region to flavor the honey and encourage the bees to stay. A colony of bees includes a single queen, an assortment of drones, and a large number of worker bees. The social structure of a hive is actually quite complex, and naturalists have devoted extensive study to the lives of bees and the ways in which they communicate.

They buzz around, crawl inside soda cans, chase people down the street and sometimes even sting. If you're unlucky enough to be allergic, bees can literally be a lethal threat. Yet, the simple fact is, if bees didn't exist, neither would humans. Accordingly, it's extremely disconcerting that honeybees have been dying at an alarming rate over the past decade or so. At present, the honeybee population in the United States is less than half of what it was at the cessation of World War II. This past winter, 23.2 percent of America's managed honeybee colonies were lost. The figures were worse during the year prior, but bees are still dying at a disturbing rate, and something needs to change.

Why do bees need nectar and pollen – and how do they use it? It’s well known that bees gather these products from flowers, but why do they need them - what are the specific benefits to bees? Basically, nectar provides an important energy source (carbohydrate) – it supplies a complex range of sugars, whilst pollen gives vital protein and fats. Although all bees need pollen at some stage in their lives, not all bees gather it. Male bees do not collect pollen, and have no pollen baskets (corbicula) with which to transport it from flowers to the nest or hive. Cuckoo species – such as cuckoo bumblebees also do not gather pollen, since they also have no pollen baskets, however, they do require it, but rely on the host bumblebee species to supply their needs. So let’s look at the requirements of the different types of bees. Why do Bumblebee and Solitary bees need nectar and pollen? Queen bumblebees, for example, will very quickly seek nectar when they emerge early in the year – usually it will still be cold, and the bumblebee queen will need to boost her energy resources very quickly." }, { "docid": "D2791212#0", "title": "http://www.entomon.net/wasps-hornets-yellow-jackets-bees.shtml\n.", "text": "\"What are Wasps?

Wasps are highly important to ecosystems. Some wasps like Sawflies consume vegetation and feed on flower nectar and play a role in pollination. Most other wasps are either parasitic or predaceous and therefore play a vital role in limiting the populations of thousands of other insect species. Without these parasites that limit the growth of insect populations, pests would overtake most crops.

However, our bodies need a certain amount of fat to function—and we can't make it from scratch. Triglycerides, cholesterol and other essential fatty acids—the scientific term for fats the body can't make on its own—store energy, insulate us and protect our vital organs. They act as messengers, helping proteins do their jobs. They also start chemical reactions that help control growth, immune function, reproduction and other aspects of basic metabolism. The cycle of making, breaking, storing and mobilizing fats is at the core of how humans and all animals regulate their energy.

All living cells and many of the tiny organelles internal to cells are bounded by thin membranes. These membranes are composed primarily of phospholipids and proteins and are typically described as phospholipid bi-layers. In this sketch, the spheres represent the phosphate end, which is polar and water soluble (hydrophilic). The twin extensions represent the fatty acid components which are not water soluble (hydrophobic). Cell membranes also contain cholesterol in the phospholipid bilayer. In some membranes there are only a few cholesterol molecules, but in others there are as many cholesterols as phospholipids according to Audesirk & Audesirk. Cholesterol makes the bilayer stronger, more flexible but less fluid, and less permeable to water-soluble substances such as ions and monosaccharides.

Are there many machine shops around? If so, this competition tends to drive down prices and the consumer realizes lower repair costs. However, if there are few automotive machine shops around, the cost to weld or grind a crankshaft will likely be higher. Setting local market conditions aside, which do influence labor costs, let’s look at some of the prices you can expect to pay when taking your crankshaft to an automotive machine shop for repair. To understand how pricing crankshaft repairs are billed, it is important that you understand that most automotive machinists have a procedure that they follow to perform repairs. While grinding a crankshaft may have a flat fee, its current condition directly impacts the customer’s total out of pocket cost. For example, no automotive machinist wants to machine a dirty crankshaft in a $50,000.00 crankshaft grinding machine. Before internal engine parts are remanufactured, they must be cleaned, inspected and repaired in a sequence that matches the damage that must be repaired. Dirty crankshafts are most often cleaned in a hot tank that contains a caustic soda chemical solution to remove grease and oil." }, { "docid": "D2893130#0", "title": "https://www.sokanu.com/careers/tool-and-die-maker/\nWhat does a Tool and Die Maker do?", "text": "What is a Tool and Die Maker?

It's pensions, for reasons that aren't hard to understand. The average Boeing Machinist is close to 50 years old, union spokeswoman Connie Kelliher said. With an average 20 years' seniority, most Machinists have more working years behind them than ahead. About 20 percent of Puget Sound-area Machinists are 55 or older and thus eligible for early retirement. In the days before the strike started last week, Boeing lifted its pension offer by 10 percent to $66 a month for each year of employment, from the current $60. The union dismissed that offer as the smallest percentage increase ever, saying the company could afford to raise this \"\"monthly benefit multiplier\"\" to as much as $80.

Flag How much does a 350 engine rebuild cost? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The cost of a rebuild can vary quite a 'bit depending on what you need to replace, the level of machining work that needs to be done, and obviously, who you bring it to and how much they charge. A typical rebuild will consist of cleaning all the parts to be re-used (including the engine block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, and connecting rods, which is usually done by the machinist). Milling the cylinder heads, boring the block, and sometimes turning the crank under, to ensure consistency, and a good fit well within tolerances. Usually it will also be left to a machinist to install all the bearings and plugs in the engine, as well as pressing the pins into the piston, and installing the piston on the rods. A lot of this can be done by a good mechanic as well, as long as they have the proper tools and machines to do so. The rest of the assembly can usually be done with a basic garage setup, just so long as the builder knows how to properly lubricate the parts, torque everything down, adjust the valve lash, and if in charge of the first firing and break in, properly adjust timing, check pressures, and look for any problems. But to address your original question of how much it costs.... Rebuild kits for Chevy 350 engines range anywhere from $400 to $800 for basic setups, and should include most, if not every part you'll need to replace (bearings, plugs, seals, new pistons, rings, cam, etc.)" }, { "docid": "D3179992#0", "title": "http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/10/19/stars-lose-gain-weight-movie-roles.html\nStars Who Lose and Gain Weight for Movie Roles", "text": "\"Entertainment Stars Who Lose and Gain Weight for Movie Roles By Amy Harrington Published October 23, 2009 Getback Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Jim Carrey has made a few recent appearances sporting a beard, glasses, and a whole bunch of extra weight.

By Bob Vila Photo: Flickr A woodworking vise, according to its dictionary definition, consists of two jaws for holding work and a mechanism, usually a screw device, that opens and closes those jaws. That’s a rather broad definition, but then vises are a rather diverse lot. For convenience, vises are loosely categorized by the position on the bench they usually assume. Vises of a design suited for the right-hand end or “tail” of the bench are of a rather different shape from those typically found attached to the front or “face” of the bench. Yet, as is true with most tools with long histories, not all vises fit neatly into simple subdivisions. You see, some of the vises attached to the front of workbenches aren’t truly face vises, like the leg vise and shoulder vise. And the engineer’s vise traditionally is set neither on the face nor on the tail of the bench, but actually on the benchtop. The bottom line?

HMI is the acronym for Human Machine Interface, and can be designed as just that; an interface between the user and the machine. An HMI is considered an interface; a very broad term that can include MP3 players, industrial computers, household appliances, and office equipment. However, an HMI is much more specific to manufacturing and process control systems. An HMI provides a visual representation of a control system and provides real time data acquisition. An HMI can increase productivity by having a centralized control center that is extremely user-friendly. HMI Block Diagram A Human Machine Interface (HMI) is exactly what the name implies; a graphical interface that allows humans and machines to interact. Human machine interfaces vary widely, from control panels for nuclear power plants, to the screen on an i Phone.

On the UPS website they state if you work a standard 5 hour daily shift m-f you will take home roughly 110-150 per week @ 8.50-9.50. My current job I only make 8 and I take home around 20-30 dollars more than that. Are there extra fees taken out besides the regular witholdings (state/fed/health ins)? I understand its a strenuous job but my other question is, do they abuse workers bodies? For example do they make you lift 70 lb+ packages continous by yourself, or are you allowed help lifting to lessen the strain on heavy boxes. I was a former carpet installer for my dads business and I know what continous unsafe lifting can do to a body.

Many states have since adopted it. Universal Waste (UW) is a general descriptive term used to describe wastes that are generated by a large, diverse population. Businesses as well as unregulated households generate UW. This term is intended to be broad so that a wider range of wastes may be managed under the reduced requirements of the UWR. The UWR is intended to promote recycling as well as the proper disposal of wastes, if recycling is not a viable option by easing certain regulatory requirements. The UWR's reduced management requirements will encourage UW collection programs. These programs may include the collection of household waste. The collection of household UW will keep these wastes out of the municipal waste streams.
