Instead of adopting a sit-and-wait approach, the turtles forage along the bottom of the water body, flushing prey out into open water with exploratory strikes into the vegetation.

Full Answer The turtles may also skim the water surface with mouth agape to catch particles of food. When it catches large prey, the turtle will hold the animal in its mouth and tear it open with its forefeet; however, it must have its head submerged to swallow. For the most part, younger turtles are mostly carnivorous and become more herbivorous as they grow older.

"text": "Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta)Where do painted turtles live? Painted turtles are the most widely distributed turtle in North America. They live in permanent freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, marshes, sloughs, and creeks. They spend time in the soft bottoms of these bodies of water as well as in the aquatic vegetation and in sunny basking spots on or near the water. How can we tell if a painted turtle is male or female? Male painted turtles are generally smaller than the females and they have longer front claws and longer thicker tails. Males also have concave plastrons (bottom shells) to make mounting females during copulation more feasible. One interesting fact is that there are no genetic males or females in painted turtles. Their sex is determined by external temperature during embryogenesis. Colder temperatures produce males and hotter ones make females."

The olive or black top shell is oval, slightly flattened and smooth. They do not have a ridge down the middle of the top shell as young snapping turtles do when they are the same size. Western painted turtles are the largest of the 4 species of painted turtles and the species with the most intricate pattern on their bottom shells. Their length ranges from about 4 to 10 inches (10 - 25 cm). Painted turtles are aquatic with webbed feet for swimming. They can also be identified by the yellow lines of approximately equal width on their necks that continue on to the head. Distribution Painted turtles are the most widespread turtles in North America. The western painted turtle is found throughout South Dakota wherever there is permanent water.

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

"text": "What Do Turtles Eat? By Jessica Gomez Vet Technician Source There are several types of turtles you could own as a pet, including aquatic turtles such as the red-eared slider, box turtles and tortoises. Each of these turtles has different dietary needs and preferences, so the first step in keeping it healthy is to have it identified by an experienced veterinarian. Foods for Pet Turtles Depending on the species, turtles can be herbivores (eating only plants), carnivores (eating only meat) or omnivores (eating both plants and meat). Pet stores offer a range of turtle food products in pellets, sticks and chunks, formulated for different types of turtles and providing balanced nutrition with appropriate vitamins and minerals to keep the turtles healthy. However, this type of bland food is not the only thing turtles can eat, and it can be healthier and less expensive to offer turtles a range of fresh foods. Foods popular for pet turtles, depending on the species, include: Source Protein: Boiled eggs, mealworms, snails, crickets, earthworms Vegetables: Corn, beans, beets, carrots, peas, squash, yams Greens: Carrot tops, lettuce, collard greens, kale, spinach Fruits: Apples, grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe, banana, kiwi, mango, tomato Flowers: Geraniums, dandelions, petunias, lilies, carnations In addition to a range of foods and pet store supplements, offering pet turtles an additional source of calcium - necessary for a strong, healthy shell - is also a good idea. Crushed eggshells, oyster shells and cuttlebone are all fantastic calcium sources that you can add to your turtle's diet on a regular basis. Pet Turtle Feeding Tips The best diet for a pet turtle is one that is fresh and varied to provide a range of nutritional sources. Just like humans, turtles have individual tastes, and offering different foods will help keep the turtle well fed and happy."

On their head, they have two light stripes that flow from the nose, through the eyes and to the neck. Barbells are present on the throat and chin. Their carapace is smooth, with three, highly domed and extended keels. A layer of algae usually covers their carapace. Their usual color is dark gray or olive brown. Their usual size is from three to five inches long and they have long necks. The Behavior Of The Musk Turtle The Musk turtle is not a very aggressive one but they are capable to snatch a finger by stretching their necks, if they are annoyed or they feel threatened. They are very inactive in the morning and they tend to stay buried in the mud. In the morning or late at night you can see musk turtles jogging on the bottom of the rivers."

"text": "Box Turtles and People Publish Date : Jul 02, 2006Revised Date : Nov 29, 2010Tom R. Johnson Out of the 17 or so kinds of turtles native to Missouri, none are as well-known as our two species of box turtles. Even folks who aren’t into fishing, hunting, hiking, bird watching or gardening have had opportunities to observe box turtles. Too often, unfortunately, such opportunities involve these reptiles trying to cross roads or highways. The location of Missouri between the forested eastern United States and the prairies of the Great Plains has allowed plants and wildlife of the two regions to mingle. This is definitely the case with our two species of box turtle. The three-toed box turtle is closely related to a species found east of the Mississippi River, while the ornate box turtle has relatives to the west. Turtle versus terrapin The name “box turtle” refers to the ability of this reptile to tightly close its shell when frightened. It does this by means of a hinge located across its lower shell. When startled, the turtle pulls its head and limbs into its shell for protection. Then it moves each half of the hinged lower shell up to meet the upper shell, thus closing like a box."

It is called eastern box turtle since it is native to the eastern parts of the United States. Distribution The eastern box turtle lives in the eastern United States, from eastern Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to the Atlantic Ocean. They are found all the way from southern Florida in the south to southern Main and the southern and eastern parts of the Michigan Upper Peninsula in the north. They are present in the Great Lakes region, but they are rare there and typically limited to areas far away from busy roads. In the southern parts of their range, eastern box turtles are found up to 6,000 feet in elevation. In the north where the climate is colder, this subspecies is normally limited to regions below 1,000 feet above sea level. The eastern box turtle is the official state reptile of both North Carolina and Tennessee. “ The turtle watches undisturbed as countless generations of faster ‘hares’ run by to quick oblivion, and is thus a model of patience for mankind, and a symbol of our State’s unrelenting pursuit of great and lofty goals.” /North Carolina Secretary of State Pennsylvania almost made the eastern box turtle their official state reptile."

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

De Boer/Shutterstock Painted Turtle ( Chrysemys picta ssp. and C. dorsalis)Well deserving of their common name, painted turtles are one of the most attractive varieties of pond turtle native to North America. Their range extends from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast and from Canada to northern Mexico, making them one of the most widespread species, as well. Inhabiting practically any slow-moving or still body of freshwater within their range makes painted turtles one of the most commonly encountered turtles, and their vivid coloration makes them one of the most recognizable. There are four types of painted turtles: the eastern painted turtle (Chrysemys picta picta), the midland painted turtle (C. p. marginata), the western painted turtle (C. p. bellii) and the southern painted turtle (C. dorsalis). Although their native ranges vary (hence, their common names), their habits and captive care requirements are very similar. Painted Turtle Availability Painted turtles breed readily in captivity, and are frequently produced by hobbyists and turtle farms alike. As with most temperate species, their breeding season is restricted to spring and summer, so captive-bred babies are most commonly available from May through September. However, given the significant numbers of babies hatched yearly, they are typically available for most of the year and prices are very affordable.

These stripes run past the eye out to the nose, like a 3-striped mud’s but unlike a Mississippi mud’s (which stop at the eye). Small barbells are present on the underside of the head. The jaws are powerful & can crack snails; bites can be excruciatingly painful. North American musk & mud turtles lack the ‘power strike’ of common snappers & when handled often withdraw into their shells, sometimes with jaws agape. More pugnacious individuals may extend the head a bit but generally don’t make the lunging strikes common snappers do. Musk turtles tend to have more pointed faces than mud turtles. Males have larger tails, nearly the size of a leg, thinner past the cloacal opening."

They did this by pushing limitations and elevated man through their paintings, drawings or sculptures.

Turtles and tortoises are reptiles with rather round hard shells (generally hard), four legs and a tail. They all have scales, lay eggs, and their body heat is regulated by their environment or ectothermic ). They belong to the taxanomical order Testudines, in the sub-group Chelonia (also referred to as the 'crown group'). Scientists call them chelonians. In this order there are 13 families with over 250 distinct species. Chelonians are found all over the globe except in Antarctica.

Some box turtles, like the ornate box turtle, eat insects. They have a sharp eye and keen sense of smell. Young, growing box turtles, up to 4-6 years of age, tend to be primarily carnivores and adults tend to be herbivorous. As a guideline, your box turtle's diet should be about 50% plant-based material and 50% animal-based material. Be sure to discuss a specific diet for your turtle with your veterinarian.

In the United States the following distinction is made between the terms turtle and tortoise: A tortoise is a land dwelling turtle with high domed shell and columnar, elephant-shaped hind legs. Tortoises go to water only to drink or bathe. In contrast, the word turtle is used for other turtles: pond turtles, river turtles, box turtles, musk turtles, sea turtles, etc.2. How many different kinds of tortoise occur in North America? Three species of tortoises occur in the United States and a fourth is found in Mexico. The desert tortoise ( Xerobates [ Gopherus] agassizii) is found in the Mojave and Colorado/Sonoran deserts of California, southern Nevada, Arizona, southwestern Utah, and in Mexico. The Texas tortoise ( Xerobates [ Gopherus] berlandieri) occurs in southern Texas and northeastern Mexico."

There are four subspecies of painted turtles: eastern, midland, southern and western. Their ranges overlap, and they can interbreed. Interbred offspring are called intergrades. Mating Habits Painted turtles breed from March to mid-June. The male faces the female and waves his front claws at her, sometimes caressing the sides of her neck. The female leaves the water to make her nest between May and July. She may travel a few yards or a half-mile to find a suitable nesting site, often crossing fences, roads and yards.

The birth of tiny twin pandas to the National Zoo’s Mei Xiang was cause for national celebration this weekend (we are, after all, are the country that practically went into a state of panic when the zoos’s panda cam went offline during the shutdown of 2013). But the mood quickly soured as the smaller of the cubs started to regurgitate its food and struggled to keep on weight. Since Monday, Mei has refused to care for the tinier twin, despite zookeepers’ efforts to foster maternal affection for both her babies during the most precarious period of their infancy, and on Wednesday the zoo said the cub had died. Twin pandas are rarely born at American zoos (this is only the third in U. S. history) but in the wild, behavior like Mei’s is actually quite common. Giving birth to multiple offspring is an evolutionary advantage, because it increases the likelihood that one will survive to adulthood. But when it becomes evident that one cub is developing faster than the other, panda mothers will often focus their attention on the stronger infant. [ One of National Zoo’s panda cubs is getting round-the-clock medical care]“This is the dark side of pandas, that they have two and throw one away,” Scott Forbes, a professor of biology at the University of Winnipeg, told the New York Times in 2006. For obvious reasons, zoos rarely acknowledge the fact: “They consider it bad P. R. for the pandas,” Forbes said. Biologists used to think this kind of behavior was pathological, an indicator that the mother was stressed or upset in some way."

Since almost all other bears have just one solid coat color, pandas are highly unusual-looking. They are also unique in other ways. For example, the diets of most bears are comprised of plant material, such as berries, and other animals, such as fish or insects. Pandas exclusively eat bamboo. Unfortunately, these fascinating bears are highly endangered due to habitat loss and other issues. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Pandas are endangered mainly due to habitat loss.

REUTERS / China Daily Share Tech & Science Animals Wildlife If you’re a panda bear, there’s one thing you do a lot: eat bamboo. These creatures actually spend up to 14 hours daily eating as much as 27 pounds of the plant. New research gives a clue as to why: They aren’t very good at digesting it.

By Dan Nosowitz August 29, 2013Panda Eating Wikimedia Commons A baby panda was born last week at the National Zoo. The National Zoo, and many people not associated with the Zoo, celebrated, because the panda is a very endangered animal and has become an emblem of the conservation movement, and it is very difficult to get pandas to produce surviving offspring in captivity. But because it is 2013, and because it is easier and garners more pageviews to be boldly wrong than boringly right, many internet publications and people who like to argue began a well-trodden argument: the panda deserves to die.

An adult panda has very few predators; those few being leopards, Jackals, and The yellow-throat marten [which usually eats baby pandas]. 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. The relationship is Mutualism because The bacteria helps the Panda's digest their food while getting food at the same time.

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

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

( Jim Tatosian)Karen Kaplan Contact Reporter Giant pandas eat bamboo for up to 14 hours a day, but the microbes in their guts are optimized for meat A giant panda may look like a vegetarian on the outside, but it definitely looks like a carnivore on the inside. A genetic analysis of 121 samples of panda poop finds that the community of microbes living inside these animals’ guts is optimized to digest meat. This is despite the fact that giant pandas have been eating bamboo for at least 7 million years, and that the plant has been the bears’ sole food source for at least 2 million years. The findings, published Tuesday in the journal m Bio, may not bode well for the endangered species. Only about 1,600 giant pandas remain in the forests of northern and central China. “The peculiar characteristics of its gut microbiota may put it at high risk of extinction,” the study authors wrote. Scientists have come to appreciate that the microbes in our guts play an essential role in keeping us healthy. These bacteria help their hosts digest the foods they eat and extract -- or synthesize -- the needed nutrients. In theory, the microbes in the panda gut should be pretty busy."

"text": "\"Giant Panda Facts The giant panda is one of the world's eight species of true bears. Although for a number of decades there was some controversy over whether the panda was actually a bear at all, the recent consensus is that the panda is, in fact, all bear.. Some scientists argued that the giant panda and the red panda which share many characteristics were both more closely related to raccoons than bears. Closer study of the giant pandas molecular structure, however, puts them in the family ursidae - the true bears. Giant pandas live in the densely vegetated mountains of central China, where mist, heavy rains, and high humidity promote thick forests. The panda dines almost exclusively on one type of plant material, bamboo, which makes up over 95% of its diet. On rare occasions pandas will consume other types of plants, small animals, or insects, but the bamboo diet is so dominant, and has been consumed by the panda for so many thousands of years, that it has evolved into a bamboo eating machine, and has even evolved special paws with bony \"\"pseudo thumbs\"\" for handling bamboo shoots. The giant panda lives a solitary life and each individual marks, patrols and maintains its own territory. Giant pandas will actively avoid each other upon seeing or hearing another nearby, and females in particular will chase strangers out of their range and then actively and agitatedly re-mark the boundary lines with claw scratches, sprays of urine and strategic droppings. Pandas will occasionally enter caves or hollowed out trees to sleep or den for a few days but do not have permanent living arrangements. They do not hibernate as some other bear species do, but they will make short migratory moves to warmer climates depending on the season."

The lightest one on record was only 36g (0.1 pounds), and the heaviest one 210g (0.5 pounds). The limbs of newborn pandas are so weak that they are not able to stand at all."

Which is a large reason to them dying out. To be fair PART of the reason Pandas are endangered to begin with is because we have dwindled their habitat. That habitat being bamboo forests. Well you might be saying “See, it’s all our fault, us humans, we owe it to the panda to save them. ”No. Pandas are designed to be carnivores. They have carnivorous digestive systems and they’re taxonomically classified as carnivores. Yet they eat bamboo anyway."

The wild giant panda is omnivorous though more than ninety-nine percent of what it eats is bamboo. Occasionally, it will eat other types of plants including weeds, herbs, vines, shrubs, trees and grasses. It will also eat meat, including that of bamboo rats, golden monkeys, musk deer, and sheep. Pandas in captivity are given a wider variety of food by their keepers. Their meals often include rice, meat, eggs, milk, fruit, carrots, potatoes, honey, bread, chocolate, vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as bamboo. How much bamboo does a panda eat? Because giant pandas are unable to efficiently digest bamboo and thus absorb only a small percentage of the nutrients in it, they must consume vast amounts of it in order to ensure that they get enough nutrients. A wild panda spends about 12 to 16 hours a day feeding and may eat up to 40 lb of bamboo daily, sometimes even more. A captive panda's daily bamboo consumption is somewhat less and is determined by its keepers.\"\""

"text": "\"Introduction The Giant Panda The Giant Panda, simply known as the panda is a type of bear native to the the central-western and south-western parts of China. It has become one of the most endangered animals on this planet for a number of reasons. When it comes to picking a food source, the pandas solely prefer bamboos, which seems quite abnormal, considering the fact that they are classified as carnivores. However, they have been adapted to a vegetarian diet, thus allowing them to eat plants, despite having the same structural features as other carnivores. Bamboo plants contain very little nutrition, therefore pandas take in lots of them. But with thousands of the same organisms, competition for the same food will be tough, resulting in a scarcity of food. Those who are not well nourished will be left starving to death. The innocent pandas being hunted down is another factor, in which hunters slaughter them for their own benefits, selling the fur to earn a profit. Lastly, the loss of habitat has arguably been the biggest concern of all for the animals, as their homes were being destroyed due to the rapid increase of the population in China, making way for more cities, farms, and natural resources. The giant panda is in grave danger must be saved from extinction."

REUTERS / China Daily Share Tech & Science Animals Wildlife If you’re a panda bear, there’s one thing you do a lot: eat bamboo. These creatures actually spend up to 14 hours daily eating as much as 27 pounds of the plant. New research gives a clue as to why: They aren’t very good at digesting it. A paper published today in the journal m Bio shows that pandas have gut microbes more similar to carnivores and omnivores than vegetarians. In fact, the animals lack the types of bacteria known for breaking down cellulose, the component of plant cell walls that make leaves and plant material difficult for other omnivores, like humans, to break down. Pandas can digest only about 17 percent of what they consume, the scientists calculated. “This result is unexpected and quite interesting, because it implies the giant panda’s gut microbiota may not have well adapted to its unique diet and places pandas at an evolutionary dilemma,” said study co-author Xiaoyan Pang, a researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in a statement.

Bamboo contains very little nutritional value so pandas must eat 12-38kg every day to meet their energy needs. But they do branch out, with about 1% of their diet comprising other plants and even meat. While they are almost entirely vegetarian, pandas will sometimes hunt for pikas and other small rodents. Indeed, as members of the bear family, giant pandas possess the digestive system of a carnivore, although they have evolved to depend almost entirely on bamboo.

The birth of tiny twin pandas to the National Zoo’s Mei Xiang was cause for national celebration this weekend (we are, after all, are the country that practically went into a state of panic when the zoos’s panda cam went offline during the shutdown of 2013). But the mood quickly soured as the smaller of the cubs started to regurgitate its food and struggled to keep on weight. Since Monday, Mei has refused to care for the tinier twin, despite zookeepers’ efforts to foster maternal affection for both her babies during the most precarious period of their infancy, and on Wednesday the zoo said the cub had died. Twin pandas are rarely born at American zoos (this is only the third in U. S. history) but in the wild, behavior like Mei’s is actually quite common. Giving birth to multiple offspring is an evolutionary advantage, because it increases the likelihood that one will survive to adulthood. But when it becomes evident that one cub is developing faster than the other, panda mothers will often focus their attention on the stronger infant. [ One of National Zoo’s panda cubs is getting round-the-clock medical care]“This is the dark side of pandas, that they have two and throw one away,” Scott Forbes, a professor of biology at the University of Winnipeg, told the New York Times in 2006. For obvious reasons, zoos rarely acknowledge the fact: “They consider it bad P. R. for the pandas,” Forbes said. Biologists used to think this kind of behavior was pathological, an indicator that the mother was stressed or upset in some way."

The wild giant panda is omnivorous though more than ninety-nine percent of what it eats is bamboo. Occasionally, it will eat other types of plants including weeds, herbs, vines, shrubs, trees and grasses. It will also eat meat, including that of bamboo rats, golden monkeys, musk deer, and sheep. Pandas in captivity are given a wider variety of food by their keepers. Their meals often include rice, meat, eggs, milk, fruit, carrots, potatoes, honey, bread, chocolate, vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as bamboo. How much bamboo does a panda eat? Because giant pandas are unable to efficiently digest bamboo and thus absorb only a small percentage of the nutrients in it, they must consume vast amounts of it in order to ensure that they get enough nutrients. A wild panda spends about 12 to 16 hours a day feeding and may eat up to 40 lb of bamboo daily, sometimes even more. A captive panda's daily bamboo consumption is somewhat less and is determined by its keepers.\"\""

"text": "x Stories What do pandas eat? And other giant panda facts© Richard Barrett / WWF-UKDate: March 14, 2016Tweet FThe charismatic giant panda is a notable symbol of conservation—and a valuable success story. Reserves in China established to protect the species have grown from eight to more than 60 over the past 30 years. WWF was the first international conservation organization invited into China to help with panda conservation. Explore some basic facts about giant pandas. Newborn pandas are about 1/900th of the size of their mothers —about the size of a stick of butter. But they grow large, reaching up to 330 pounds as adults. Pandas average a lifespan of 14-20 years Most pandas leave their mothers when the mothers conceive again, which is usually after 18 months. Pandas play an essential role in the bamboo forests of the Yangtze Basin by spreading seeds as they roam, increasing vegetation. WWF works to make this area more sustainable to protect pandas and other endangered species, such as the golden monkey and takin."

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

"text": "\"Adam Rifkin, works at Lady Gaga Updated Mar 30, 2011 · Author has 734 answers and 1.1m answer views Watching the pandas in the zoo, they seem to prefer oatmeal and fruits to bamboo, but in the wild there are no oatmeal or fruits to be had. What's astonishing is that pandas CAN eat anything, but pandas in the wild choose to eat bamboo pretty much exclusively. After reading many sources that blame everything from evolution to intelligent design, I've concluded that pandas eat bamboo because they prefer the taste of it to other foods. Giant pandas, in some ways, are anomalies of evolution. Their ancestry shows that they descended from meat-loving carnivores. Indeed, even a modern-day giant panda's biological construction dictates that it is a carnivore. In other words, its digestive tract is built to break down meat and is inadequate for breaking down bamboo stalks efficiently. This fact is startling since the first thing people usually associate with pandas is bamboo. Indeed, as much as 99 percent of their diet is bamboo. But if they have carnivorous digestive systems, will you ever come across a panda in the wild feasting on prey?"

And to the moms and dads who have dedicated their lives to raising awareness about this disorder – you are the silent heroes to countless children. This article was initially published in the Summer 2011 edition of the OCD Newsletter .“My child was fine last week, last month – and now I have lost her. This is not my child; what has happened??? What do I do? ?” For every parent of a child with an illness, especially a mental illness, there is a particular story. But when you meet a parent of a child with PANDAS (typically a child between ages 3-14), you will hear the same panicked story over and over. A child who was happy at home and at school, and was social and athletic, is now walking in circles for hours, washing hands until they bleed, asking the same questions over and over – and over. A child that used to be comforted by a hug is now inconsolable. They may be begging parents for help, begging for a way to end the horror that exists only in their minds."

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

"text": "There are only two different panda species in the world, the giant pandas and the red pandas. Despite their common name, the two are not scientifically related to each other. They live in roughly the same geographic area and have a similar diet; both are also dwindling in terms of their population numbers. The giant panda is actually a species of bear, and as a result is known in some places as a “panda bear.” These animals can be quite large and are very distinctive in coloring: they are primarily white with large black patches around their eyes, on their ears, and across other portions of their bodies. As the red panda ’s name suggests, these creatures tend to take on a more rust color, and are considerably smaller. In most cases they resemble domestic cats in both size and agility, and tend to live in rockier, more mountainous terrains. The two rarely if ever come into contact with each other in the wild. Animal Basics Both animals are native to Central Asia, but their distribution areas tend to be a bit different. Researchers believe that the bears exist only in a few isolated bamboo forests in south-central China."

I am curious when Miniature Poodle puppies stop growing as Panda is massive and only 16 weeks old. He is bigger than last years litter already, bigger than his mum already and was 5.4KG last week. He is also significantly bigger than this years litter. Has he just done all his growing in 16 short weeks and then stop or have we got a giant on our hands here? He does have massive feet too.... Both his parents are mini's though. Oh and he was 13\"\" to his shoulders when I last measured him last week.

They are a little smarter and very quick and keen to pick up on things, especially when a treat is involved. The Saint Bernard is very intelligent as well, I just find that the Saintberdoodle is a little more intelligent, attentive and eager. That would be the intelligent side of the Poodle traits coming out in them. They love attention and are very happy and playful, thoroughly enjoying being your big cuddly lap teddy bear. Look out when they are full grown they will be heavy!It is wonderful to have a large breed dog that sheds little, is hypo-allergenic (wavy/curly coats), does not drool, and has high intelligence. The Saintberdoodle is a large breed dog with just these qualities. What more could the large breed dog lover ask for. However, they do require additional grooming because of their coat type."

"text": "National Zoo's Adorable Newborn Giant Panda Is Named Bei Bei (Precious Treasure)By Meera Dolasia on October 8, 2015CCSS NAS-3Grades K-8Word Search Favorite Photo Credit: Smithsonian National Zoo via Flickr On September 25th, US first lady Michelle Obama and China's first lady Peng Liyuan announced that the recently born giant panda at Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D. C. would be called Bei Bei. The name which means 'precious treasure' in Mandarin Chinese, was selected from a list suggested by officials at the zoo and the Wolong Nature Reserve in China. Bei Bei is one two cubs that Mei Xiang a giant panda on loan from China gave birth to on Saturday, August 22nd. However, soon after, the zookeepers noticed that she was having a hard time handling the tiny hairless cubs that are entirely reliant on the mother for food, warmth, and protection. Photo Credit: Smithsonian National Zoo via Flickr They, therefore, decided to remove the one she was not close to and place it in an incubator. The panda team's plan was to switch the two every few hours so that both could receive the nurturing they need from their mother. However, by Sunday, Mei Xiang refused to swap, instead deciding to focus on the stronger of the two cubs. Though this may seem cruel, experts say this instinct is common in giant pandas in the wild. That's because the tiny cubs require a lot of attention, which make it impossible for mothers to look after more than one at a time. Left with little choice, the zoo's panda team moved the second one in an incubator and tried to raise it themselves."

"text": "Environment Death Shows Fragility of Pandas’ Lives By LESLIE KAUFMAN SEPT. 24, 2012The National Zoo’s panda exhibit was closed Monday, the day after the death of a 6-day-old cub weighing four ounces. Luke Sharrett for The New York Times The giant panda cub that died Sunday morning had uneven coloring and hardness in her liver, officials at the National Zoo in Washington said Monday. That information came from a preliminary necropsy, but it was not a conclusive cause of the sudden death of the 6-day-old female cub, who was heard grunting just 17 minutes before she was found lifeless, zoo officials said. Final results of a full necropsy will not be available for another two weeks. The cub’s sudden death came as a dispiriting shock to the zoo, which has invested millions of dollars in efforts to propagate the beloved but endangered species, and it opened a window into the fraught world of captive breeding. “Conservation is a life and death business,” said Pamela Baker-Masson, associate director of communications for the zoo. “ This one was particularly devastating for us. ”After her first seemingly healthy days, the cub was discovered on the floor in the pandas’ den early Sunday morning after her mother, Mei Xiang, let out honks of distress. Zoo patrons had expressed concern that the cub’s 217-pound mother had crushed the baby, who weighed just four ounces — as little as a stick of butter — in her arms."

Sure, you want to stay comfortable in Thailand’s hot and humid climate, but it’s also a country whose people (aside from its infamous bar girls and ladyboys) dress quite modestly. Is it possible to stay cool and comfortable while following the “rules”? Absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring to you the dos and don’ts of what to wear in Thailand. We’ve briefly addressed what to wear in Thailand in our Tips for Visiting Thailand for the First Time post, but since it’s such a hot topic and Thailand’s high season is in full swing now, we were inspired to dedicate an entire post to it. PIN IT FOR LATER!Let’s be honest: Thailand usually turns a blind eye to foreigners’ clothing choices, so on the surface there seems to be no clear-cut rules on how to dress. However, there are definitely clothing trends that are acceptable and others that just won’t do, and that is something we’ve deduced simply by observing what the locals wear. Plus, we can confidently say that your appearance has an effect on how you’re treated in Thailand, so choosing to dress tastefully and appropriately goes a long way.

"text": "\"Home » Lifestyle What Does \"\"Inseam\"\" Mean on Jeans? By Michelle Miley You need to know more than your waist size to get well-fitting jeans. When shopping for jeans, you may encounter a lot of confusing terms. Jeans come in different rises, cuts and fits as well as different sizes. The most crucial part of the process is getting the right size, and that is made much simpler if you know what an inseam is, how to measure it and what to do with that information once you have it. What Is an Inseam? On a pair of jeans, the inseam is the seam that runs from the crotch of the pants to the bottom of the pant leg. This is the seam that runs down the inside of your leg to the floor. How to Measure Your Inseam To measure your inseam, take your shoes off and stand with your feet flat on the floor. Use a tailor’s tape measure to measure from the place where your legs join your body down to the floor."

"text": "\"Just because you see a lot of guys letting their woman “wear the pants” in a relationship, it doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do. For example: A study in Norway found that husbands who do the majority of the housework for their wife are 50% more likely to be asked for a divorce. Another study in the USA found that amongst college-educated couples who married, women initiated 90% of the divorces. This shocking statistic could suggest that empowered, educated women who are making enough of their own money and can survive, thrive and prosper without the help of a man are more likely to be trigger happy when it comes to divorce. Yet, those two statistics are only the tip of the iceberg. The reasons for break ups and divorces run a lot deeper than just up cleaning the dishes for your wife or marrying a woman with a degree. No Matter How Successful a Woman is, She Still Wants Her Man to Be the Man These days, many women are heavily involved in changing the world, building their career and making a difference. However, regardless of her achievements outside of your relationship with her, when she is with you, she wants to know that you’re “the man” and that she can relax into being a woman around you. Some women have more of a masculine spirit and don’t want a man to lead the way, but most women do. Most women want to know that the man is steering the ship and is clear on direction they are headed and how they are going to get there."

In his free time he enjoys shopping with his girlfriend and spending time at home with his two cats. If you’re like many men, the idea of having a tailor strikes you as some hoity-toity fantasy where you’re a movie star or a high-priced lawyer. After all, why do you need a custom-tailored suit if you’re just a regular guy? And how can you possibly hope to afford it? Well, it turns out that there are quite a few myths out there when it comes to custom-made suits, and there are some truly good practical reasons why you should think about getting one – or several!Myth: It’s really inconvenient to go to a tailor. Truth: What’s inconvenient is going to 20 different stores. Going to a tailor, getting measured, and waiting for them to make your suit sounds like the height of inconvenience, but think about what you’d do otherwise. Off-the-rack suits are all in generic sizes, so chances are good that you’d end up trying on a lot of them and probably even driving around to different stores before you find something that seems acceptable – not even great; just acceptable. That kind of shopping takes a lot of time and gas, and all it really gives you in return is frustration."

Asked by: angrybird Add a New Topic Add to My Favorites Debate This Topic Report This Topic96% Say Yes 4% Say No Skirts Should Be a Normal Choice…for Both Women and Men in 2015The indisputable fact about skirts is that they are extremely comfortable to wear for both men and women. If one follows the cardinal rule of design; \"\"form follows function\"\", then it is obvious that the idea of restricting men from wearing skirts today is largely a fashion argument. Just as the idea of women wearing pant's can equally be argued as fashion in most casual living situations. Do clothes need to be gender-specific? Will the time ever come when fashion is simply fashion? Posted by: Rona Report Post Reply Challenge3A skirt is not gender-specific piece of garment It is a common phrase these days, but it is the 21st Century and people should be allowed to choose and wear clothing that suits their personalities. Why are skirts for women and pants are for both genders? Why is a woman allowed to pick and chose between flat shoes, running shoes, construction boots and heels and a man is pretty much denied the same? How would any woman feel today if her employer will explicitly require her to wear only skirts and heels?"

The Romans carried on this tradition. They considered trousers effete and barbarous (Lever, James. Costume and Fashion: A Concise History. Thames and Hudson, 1995, 2010).

"text": "Trousers can be defined as, “a loose-fitting outer garment for the lower part of the body, having individual leg portions that reach typically to the ankle but sometimes to any of various other points from the upper leg down.” 1 This simple piece of clothing has caused much controversy for women over the years. The social and technological changes of the 20 th century propelled the movement of it being acceptable for women to wear pants. The act of wearing pants itself is a form of technology because wearing trousers makes almost any task easier than doing the same task in a skirt or dress. The revolution of women wearing pants is important because it traces the history of equality between men and women. This nonverbal communication of clothing changed dramatically when women regularly began wearing pants in the middle to late 1900s. Before the twentieth century, women were technically not allowed to wear pants because it was a masculine item, and they were looked down upon if they decided to wear them. It wasn’t until the Second World War that women began wearing trousers out in public, but it still wasn’t widely accepted. Finally in the 1960s, society decided that it was about time for it to be socially acceptable for women to wear pants. Prior to the middle of the 20 th century, women had a very limited wardrobe of dresses and skirts."

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

But I was double checking on what you can give them and what u cant. Thanks Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Care and feeding: Fresh food and water must be provided daily. In the wild, parakeets feed on seeds, fruits, nuts, berries, blossoms, leaf buds, and some enjoy nectar, insects, spray millet and grains. A parakeet's diet consists of a good seed mixture supplemented with sprouted seed, various fruits, green foods, commercial pellets, millet spray (for small parakeets), and for some, occasional mealworms are generally regarded suitable. Different seed mixes for parakeets are available, depending on its size and the strength of its bill. Foods available for Parakeets include formulated diets, either pelleted or extruded, seed mixes, and Parakeet mixes which offer a mixture of both pelleted food and seeds. There are pros and cons to feeding only a formulated diet as well as feeding only a seed diet."

"text": "Finches eat the same seeds as parkeets. You're out of finch food and all the pet supply shop has in stock is parakeet seed. You make do when your choices are limited, but maybe you're concerned about whether it's safe to feed your finch parakeet seed -- or possibly you just wonder what's the difference between the two. Brand Names are the Biggest Difference For the most part, finches and parakeets not only eat but will thrive on the same kinds of seeds. In some cases the only difference you'll find when comparing a package of finch seed to a package of parakeet seed is the brand name on the front. Various types of millet seed are favorites of both birds, but in a commercial mix you'll find other common ingredients in both including niger, sesame, canary grass seed, hemp, small sunflower seed plus some whole oat groats. They Both Need Variety Finches and parakeets both need variety in their diets. You wouldn't want to eat the same item day after day, and neither does your little bird. Providing a flavorful and interesting diet is the reason that commercial finch and parakeet seeds usually contain at least three or four different types of seed, with some mixes boasting over 10 different kinds. Whether you have a finch, parakeet or both, your little ones' diet should include a quality seed mix, but you should also provide them with fresh vegetables too."

Share this conversation Answered in 2 hours by: 11/13/2008Bird Specialist: Anna Hello, Your parakeet isn't ill, but excessive egg-laying isn't good for her. One thing you can try is to let her have a nest box for her eggs. Be sure to provide her with plenty of calcium. She'll stop laying when she has a clutch and will set on the eggs. Many birds know after three weeks that the eggs won't hatch, and will leave the nest. If she doesn't, you can remove the nest while she's eating. This is sometimes enough to break the cycle of egg-laying. It can also help to provide lots of toys and interesting things to do in her cage. Give her only part of her toys at a time, and change them every week."

According to Old Farmers Almanac, fresh broccoli contains vitamins A, B, C, and calcium while spinach and alfalfa sprouts are rich in vitamin A, E and K.

Today, there are over five million budgie species across the world. In some areas of Australia, there are so many that they affect cereal crops. Generally, they are bred for color, song and their liveliness. Budgie parakeets can be obedient and even trained to speak. They get extremely attached to some people in the family, especially for those who care for them. Budgies are terribly angry when they do not see their owner for a long time. What is special about budgerigar parakeets is that they make us fall in love with them from the beginning. The budgie is a small, long-tailed and clean parrot whose beauty impresses everyone. Budgerigar parakeets are naturally green and yellow with black, but the colors are different: Shades of yellowish, turquoise, blue, white to pure white and red eyes."

There is no one-type-fits-all when it comes to your bird’s nutrition. Feeding your bird the right food is absolutely essential to his health (and lifespan!) Feeding your bird seed and water just isn’t going to cut it. And feeding different types of birds the same diet doesn’t work either. It’s important to provide a diet that is safe, healthy, and yummy. Packaged small bird and parakeet food comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ingredients. So, it’s important to know what is the best diet for your individual bird. When shopping for food, there are a lot of things you need to take into consideration. The Best for Your Bird Birds follow a very similar diet plan that we do."

Your little avian friend can be picky -- parakeets often are -- but once he gets used to healthy eating, he will soon look forward to feeding time. Seed Mixtures Most parakeet owners feed their pets a seed mixture as a basic diet. A good seed mixture will include a few different kinds of seeds along with other components, such as vitamin pellets, dried fruits or greens. However, even the best seed mixture doesn't have everything your bird needs, so keep in mind that seeds are just a core component of a more varied diet. A small dish of seed mixture should be available at all times so your bird can nibble all day. Because parakeets only eat from the top layer, you'll have to remove the seed cup each day, clear out the empty seed hulls and refill the cup with fresh seeds. It's also a good idea to clean the food dish completely every few days or whenever your bird makes a mess of the bowl. Fresh Foods About 10 percent of your pet parakeet's diet should be fresh fruit and vegetables."

Pay Attention Though ringnecks don't usually like to cuddle, they do thrive on interaction with people. With gentle handling and patience, they'll sit on their humans' shoulders. They form strong bonds with their human companions, and many imitate their speech. Playtime Toys that can be rotated in and out of use will keep a ringneck from becoming bored. They aren't big chewers, but toys with bells, ropes and wood are good choices. A play stand outside the cage will keep them amused, too.

Thanks Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Care and feeding: Fresh food and water must be provided daily. In the wild, parakeets feed on seeds, fruits, nuts, berries, blossoms, leaf buds, and some enjoy nectar, insects, spray millet and grains. A parakeet's diet consists of a good seed mixture supplemented with sprouted seed, various fruits, green foods, commercial pellets, millet spray (for small parakeets), and for some, occasional mealworms are generally regarded suitable. Different seed mixes for parakeets are available, depending on its size and the strength of its bill. Foods available for Parakeets include formulated diets, either pelleted or extruded, seed mixes, and Parakeet mixes which offer a mixture of both pelleted food and seeds. There are pros and cons to feeding only a formulated diet as well as feeding only a seed diet."

The most important ingredient for a healthy diet for both birds is variety. Seeds Both finches and parakeets love seeds, but they're very fattening and don't provide all the nutrition they need. Pellets are specifically formulated with the nutrition each bird requires. Finches and parakeets need different seeds and pellets that are marked specifically for them.

These birds look very similar to Indian Ringnecks; however, there are differences to the trained eye. These parrots are sexually dimorphic. This simply means males and females are easily differentiated. The male has a black ring, highlighted with blue and pink, while the female does not. The males will start to develop their ring around 18 months and will have the full ring visible by three years. In the wild, these large ringnecks are seen showcasing a greenish gray body and forest green wings. These parrots are easily identified by their massive upper red beaks, maxilla, and maroon patches found on their wings. In comparison, the Indian Ringneck has a smaller beak and lacks the maroon colored patches seen on the Alexandrine parrot."

"text": "Parakeets (Budgerigars)Endearing Characteristics: Parakeets (budgerigars or budgies for short) are often the first parrot species many parrot lovers encounter. These small birds are easily suited to aviary life with a flock of bird buddies, yet also make charming companion parrots. Budgies who are hand raised often make the best candidates for a parrot companion. When parent-raised they tend to be more flighty and less inclined to seek human companionship. However progress can be made when you become a treat dispenser. Parakeets tend to show great enthusiasm for millet spray. Instead of putting this tasty treat in the cage for enrichment, save it for training. If your budgie is quite nervous a long stick of millet can allow you to offer him something he likes at a distance with which he will be comfortable. Over time you can use shorter sprays. Because parakeets are a flocking species they do enjoy company."

Some important examples include the Paramecium bursaria and the Paramecium caudatum. Paramecium is one of the simplest organisms on our planet, and studied extensively to understand the way other organisms might function. Be it the feeding habit, locomotion style, and reproduction mode, this minute organism exhibits intriguing characteristics. It is found in any aquatic habitat, where there is sufficient food supply. Easy availability and simple cellular organization makes it a representative protozoan for scientific studies.

For the first week to ten days fry have to learn how to eat, so small moving food should be made available to them. For this reason, nearly all betta breeders keep live cultures on hand, whether it be vinegar eels, microworms, newly-hatched nauplii, infusoria, or something else that works for them. Here are the most common: Paramecium aurelia Paramecium Paramecium is a complex, single-celled protozoan that is a great supplementary food for your fry. Better yet, it is very easy and cheap to prepare. While these protozoa would be too small for juveniles and adults to see or even care about, they are heartily consumed by small fry. To prepare a culture, you will only need a small container, Liquifry for egglayers #1 and a starter culture. The Liquifry will serve as food for the paramecia. Pour your starter culture into the container of choice (it helps if it is see-through), add a few drops of Liquifry and put it under a bright light for a few days. This setup will provide you with enough paramecia for a once-a-week feeding."

"text": "Competitive Exclusion Principle The competitive exclusion principle is an ecological principle stating that when two competing life forms attempt to occupy the same niche, only one outcome is possible: One life form will drive out the other. If any members of the other remain, it is only because they have adapted, and are now living in a slightly different niche. The principle applies to all kinds of competitive agent, which includes both genetic and memetic life forms. Why this is important The competitive exclusion principle applies to the battle for niche succession that is going on right now between Homo sapiens (a genetic life form) and the modern corporation (a memetic life form). The niche is control of the biosphere. There can be only one winner. The loser will adapt by becoming the equivalent of a servant or slave to the winner. Our analysis argues that the modern large for-profit corporation has already won this epic battle on a global basis. This makes them the New Dominant Life Form. As long as large for-profit corporations are dominant, the human system will exhibit short term behavior in general, since the goal of for-profit corporations is to maximize short term profits."

Jac Depczyk/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images Parrots comprise a group of birds that includes 279 different species. They vary in size from small birds that can fit in the palm of your hand to large birds the size of a cat and their lifespans are just as variable. Pet birds can live quite a long time. Potential owners need to be aware of the longevity of their bird so that they can be prepared to provide proper care for them for as long as they live (and be prepared in case their bird outlives them). As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected life span is. Listed below are some estimated life spans for common parrots and other pet birds (life spans of wild birds can be drastically different than pet birds). These are of course based on a healthy bird kept under ideal conditions. In reality, there is a wide range in the age that pet birds might reach and certainly some will live longer (or shorter amounts of time) than the ages listed below."

"text": "Why Do Birds Live So Long? By birdadmin October 13, 2014 Care and Feeding No Comments Many people are surprised to learn that birds, primarily parrot breeds, live a long time. On average, pet birds live between 20 and 80 years, which compared with mammals of same or larger size is quite remarkable. Amazing I think!Birds also have a high metabolic rate, body temperature, and high resting glucose, which is why experts believe they outlive mammals. So isn’t that interesting that these very factors should actually decrease life span in in birds as it does in mammals, not increase it but experts believe that birds possess special mechanisms that protect them from quick aging. There is also evidence that flying mammals live longer than non-flying mammals. Is it because they have a quicker escape route from predators than us? They also have lower levels of oxidative damage in mitochondrial DNA, even though they require more energy to take flight. This means that metabolic processes that usually cause free radicals to be released and then bind to cellular components, cause membranes to age and normal processes of the membranes to malfunction. If, us humans, have pain or suffer an injury that too causes oxidative damage."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 292KPassionate about all things Australian Parrots live on all tropical and subtropical continents. This includes Australia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean, North and South America, South Asia, southeast Asia and Africa. There are hundreds of varieties of parrots around the world, and they can be found in all habitats except for the Arctic and Antarctic. Parrots are found in tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, deserts (in Australia), grasslands, sub-alpine areas, open forest, closed forest, wet and dry sclerophyll, suburban backyards, and so on. They are found in warmer climates. In the wild, parrots make nests in tree hollows and tree cavities rather than building round nests of sticks and twigs like many other birds. African lovebirds, which do tend to build twig nests, still build them in tree cavities. Some parrots take advantage of pre-existing tree hollows while others create their own by chewing away the bark."

People who live with parrots know that they can mimic their human care-givers as well as many of the common sounds in their environment. Although such mimicry is delightful, it does raise the question of what purpose does vocal mimicry serve for wild parrots? One proposed hypothesis for parrots' remarkable ability to mimic sounds in their environment is to develop and maintain social cohesion. For example, several species of wild parrots studied to date demonstrate the ability to readily imitate their flock mates' calls. This ability is important for psittacines: when an individual parrot moves from one locale to another, it learns the calls of the local parrot flock as part of forming a social bond with those birds. But research in spectacled parrotlets, Forpus conspicillatus, went further: this research showed that each parrot has its own signature call – a unique sound that is used only for recognising that particular individual (doi: 10.1007/s002650050481 ). Basically, each parrot has its own name."

Parsnips are native to the Mediterranean region and have been a popular European food since at least the ancient Romans. The early English settlers brought parsnips with them to America, but they have been overshadowed by both carrots and potatoes. However, they grow well in most areas, although they require a long growing season. A bit of frost will sweeten their flavor and the roots can be stored and used throughout the winter. Description: Parsnips are grown predominately for their long tap roots, which look like pale carrots. Leaves: The first year's foliage resembles celery, with toothed, pinnate leaves. The 2nd year it forms a muti-branched plant that can grow to 5 feet tall. Flowers: In the second year, umbels of yellow flowers, much like carrots or dill, will form.

When to Harvest Watermelon Here are a few some indicators that it's ready to harvest: The tendrils near where the watermelon meets the stem, which are normally bright green, will turn brown. The surface of the watermelon goes from shiny to dull. The side of the melon that rests on the soil will turn from green to yellow. It should have a symmetrical body shape and the underbelly of it should be the color of a buttery yellow. When you knock on it with your knuckles it should give off a dull, hollow sound. Not all make the hollow sound, so if it does not sound that way, it does not necessarily mean that the watermelon is not ready to harvest.

It is one of the most popular root crops, and is ideal to grow on homesteads or in backyards for self sufficient living, especially if you have difficult soils like clay or a soil with a high salt content.

Parsnip seed, unlike many vegetable seeds, do not keep well and so only use fresh seed from last year’s crop or new packets. Parsnip seeds are slow to germinate , especially in cold soil, and the longer they take to germinate, the more likely they are to rot. To help avoid this problem, plant parsnip seeds when the soil has warmed a little, around March time. To increase your chances of a parsnip seedling every few centimeters, plant 3 seeds per station. You can always thin the rows if you have too many seedlings, so sow closer if you have enough seed. You want to end up with a plant every 15cm (6in). Plant your rows about 30cm (12in) apart.

' These are all generalizations and they apply to The Learning Garden, located in Sunset Zone 24, less than 3 miles from the Pacific Ocean in an alluvial plain that is barely above sea level. Cold air from the surrounding higher elevations drains into our area and we are reliably cooler than much of the surrounding areas. If you are growing inland from us, your temperatures will fluctuate more than ours. The further from the ocean a person gardens, the temperatures become less moderate and the effects of heat and cold are more pronounced. While we can grow some cool season crops year round (kale and chard for example), this becomes more difficult without the ocean's pronounced influence. JANUARYPlant in the ground: lettuce, carrots, beets, parsnips, potatoes, celeriac, radishes, spinach,Plant in containers: lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, kale, chard, (these last two can be started now, but they would have been better started earlier – their production will be reduced by the coming warmer weather), peas, fava beans, lentils, garbanzo beans Otherwise: You are looking in seed catalogs and reading books to figure out which tomatoes, peppers, beans and other summer crops you will be planting. You will order too many seeds despite promises to yourself to not do it this year. FEBRUARYPlant in the ground: lettuce (and other salad greens), carrots, beets parsnips, radishes, spinach, purple beans,Plant in containers: early tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, summer squash Otherwise: If you haven't over-ordered your seeds for summer yet, get busy. You're not playing by the rules."

They include: More varieties are available as seeds than from full-grown plants. It’s cheaper. When you grow your own plants, you are getting a known quality. If you decide to start growing from seed, the next question that needs to be answered, is whether to start them indoors or outdoors. The answer depends on plant quantities, how much space you have to devote to indoor gardening and the length of your growing season. Another thing to think about: plants begun indoors have higher survival rates than those started outdoors. Learn more about starting seeds indoors from the University of Minnesota Extension."

Parsnip Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Clade: Asterids Order: Apiales Family: Apiaceae Genus: Pastinaca Species: P. sativa Binomial name Pastinaca sativa L. [1]Pastinaca sativa fruits and seeds Flowering parsnip, second year The parsnip ( Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable closely related to the carrot and parsley. It is a biennial plant usually grown as an annual. Its long, tuberous root has cream-colored skin and flesh; and left in the ground to mature, it becomes sweeter in flavor after winter frosts. In its first growing season, the plant has a rosette of pinnate, mid-green leaves. If unharvested, it produces its flowering stem, topped by an umbel of small yellow flowers, in its second growing season. By this time, the stem is woody and the tuber is inedible. The seeds are pale brown, flat, and winged. The parsnip is native to Eurasia. It has been used as a vegetable since antiquity and was cultivated by the Romans, although some confusion exists in the literature of the time between parsnips and carrots."

Timing is everything when it comes to the home vegetable garden harvest. Once vegetables are picked they immediately begin to lose flavor, tenderness, and nutritional value. Harvest your crops as close to the time you plan to serve them, within an hour or less of serving time is best. How do you know when it is time to harvest your crops? Here are a few indicators:• Color. Many vegetables turn colors as they ripen–tomatoes and peppers are examples. Check the seed packet or look at the description for each crop listed here so that you know when to pick.• Sheen. Vegetables ready for picking commonly have a shiny, healthy look. If the skin of the crop is dull, the peak time for harvest may have passed. ("

"text": "This annual adds nice flavor to vegetable dishes. Parsnip prefers fertile soil that does not bake, though this plant sometimes is difficult to grow. Planting Parsnip Germination can be tricky, since your parsnip should not reach maturity during midsummer, especially in southern U. S. states. Adequate moisture is essential for good germination. Sow plenty of seeds and then roll or pack a light soil over the seeds to expedite the germination process, which can take as long as three weeks. Then thin plants to about 3 inches apart. Days to Harvest: any time Days to Germinate: 8-15During the month of October gardeners in the northern sections are busy gathering in all the remaining vegetables in their gardens before Jack Frost beats them to it. The parsnip is one vegetable they don’t have to worry about being ruined by frost. In the East and North parsnips can be left in the ground all winter and dug out when you want some for cooking. Freezing seems to improve them and gives them a more delicate taste."

I sowed some parsnip seeds in my new raised beds about 5 or 6 weeks ago, and thought I was being extremely clever by NOT sowing drills. Instead I planted the seeds singly at about 3\"\" spacings to avoid having to thin out. However, I now have all sorts of things popping up all over the place (mostly weeds I suspect) but nothing looking remotely parsnipy....!

"text": "Articles and Instructions, Organic Growing Companion Planting Posted May 28, 2017 by Mark Macdonald28 May West Coast Seeds offers its guidelines to companion planting to you as suggestions keeping in mind, each garden is unique and all of the factors should go into consideration while planning your garden, including but not limited too sun exposure, weather, ecology, pollinators, insect population, the soil, water supply and historical plant and harvest productivity and planning as well. West Coast Seeds has conducted significant research into the companion planting guidelines and has defined the best possible results and reasons for each of our recommendations in our companion planting chart, below are a few thoughtful suggestions for you while planning your garden this year. The benefits of Companion Planting include: Minimizing Risk: Increases odds of higher yields even if one crop fails or you are effected by natural hardships such as weather, pests or disease, the overall yield of your plot may be increased by limiting the spread and avoiding a monoculture instead focus on polyculture or mimicking the best natural growth patterns and diversity. Crop Protection / Shielding: Companion Planting can offer a more delicate plant shelter from weather such as wind or sun by growing beside another plant which can shield and protect while itself having a natural defense against the harsher conditions. Trap Cropping: Companion planting is also the ultimate organic pest management, you may keep away unwanted pests that may be attracted to one crop but repelled by the other and this will assist in protecting the otherwise attractive prey, this is referred to as trap cropping. Positive hosting: By planting in proximity to plants which produce a surplus of nectar and pollen, you can increase the population of beneficial insects that will manage your harmful pest population. Here are some basic guidelines for successful companion planting: Agastache – Very attractive to bees. Plant a row away from the garden to lure cabbage moths away from Brassica crops. Do not plant near radishes. Alyssum – Very attractive to pollinators, and useful as a mulch to keep weeds down between rows."

"title": "http://theintelligentgarden.com/how-plants-grow/why-plants-bolt/\nWhat makes plants bolt",
"text": "What makes plants bolt Bolting is when a plant goes to seed prematurely. There are several possible reasons – water stress, day length, cold are all possible culprits. If we understand what the plant is trying to do we can manage our vegetable succession better. Because once flowering is triggered, it stops root swelling and makes stems woody – reducing the value of crops like radish and beetroot. As gardeners, our aim is to maximise the yield of the bit of the plant that we want – and this may not suit the plant’s intentions at all. A crop like Pak Choy will bolt as soon as you look at it and the llfe of a hearted lettuce in the ground is usually less than a week. That’s why we have to be intelligent in our approach to keeping the plants in the condition we want. We need to understand how nature works and look at the situation from the plant’s point of view if we are going to get the results that we want. What a plant wants when it’s growing is an uncompeted supply of nutrients, water, light and air at a suitable temperature. However their behaviour is subject to outside influences."

Here’s how to grow broccoli in your garden. With broccoli, you may even be able to get a continual harvest throughout the summer and fall if you practice succession gardening and your summers don’t get excessively hot. A member of the cabbage family, broccoli is rich in vitamins. Planting Broccoli can germinate in soil with temperatures as low as 40ºF. Broccoli requires full sun and moist, fertile soil that’s slightly acidic. Work in 2 to 4 inches of rich compost or a thin layer of manure before planting. ( Learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting . ) For spring plantings, seed or set transplants 2 to 3 weeks before last spring frost date. ( See local frost dates .) If you transplant, assume 10 less days for growth or the “days to maturity” on the seed packet."

"text": "Extension > Garden > Yard and Garden > Vegetables > Growing parsley Growing parsley Common parsley, Petroselinium crispum, a member of the carrot family (Apiaceae), is well known for its use as a garnish or as a flavoring in many dishes and salads. The curly varieties also make a nice addition to most gardens, planted with other herbaceous plants or used in a border. Native to the Mediterranean area, parsley has a biennial life cycle, but is usually grown as an annual in our region, because the plants often die during cold winters. Culture As with most herbs, parsley does best in a sunny area which receives direct light for 6-8 hours a day, although it can tolerate some light shade. Plants will be more productive if grown in well drained soil that is fairly rich in organic matter, with a p H range of 6.0-7.0. Although germination is notoriously slow, seed propagation is the easiest way to start plants. The rate of germination is dependent upon seed freshness, ranging from 2-5 weeks. To help hasten the process, soak the seeds in warm water for up to twenty-four hours prior to planting. Seeds can be started indoors in the late winter approximately 6-8 weeks ahead of the last frost date. Seeds can also be sown directly in the ground where they are to be grown, after danger of spring frosts has passed."

Native to northern states of the US, the plant has been cultivated at various times, but has never been very widely grown. It’s now enjoying something of a resurgence as it is easy to grow and attractive. The berries make a colourful and edible accent in the garden and in salads and the greens are deliciously edible in salads or as a pot herb. As an ornamental, this plant is ideal for the border or patio containers. It prefers a sunny position in any fertile, well drained garden soil in full sun and will flower from June to August. The red berries are cheerful as well as edible. If you think that Strawberry Spinach is going to be a vegetable your kids will love, you are probably in for a disappointment. The name is somewhat unfortunate as it really has no connection to strawberries at all, unless you include the rather tenuous one that it produces red berries, which actually look a little more like red raspberries or mulberries. The strawberry-like fruit grows on leafy stems above the rosette of leaves and although the berries add more visual appeal than taste, you can eat the berries in salads, they can also be used as red food colouring."

Check with the university agricultural extension near you to see when the average dates of the last frost are. Plan to plant your seeds a week or two after that date. Dig the soil to a depth of 12 inches and add compost and slow-release fertilizer. April is still chancy for frost. Cover the seedlings with clear plastic cups, glasses or jars if frost is in the forecast. Peas Snow peas have edible pods and are tasty raw in salads or lightly cooked in stir fry dishes. If left on the vine the pods will mature and fill with peas. English peas have a tougher pod that is removed when the peas mature. If you have a bumper crop of peas, freeze them or dry them for use later."

"text": "\"Home »Nature What Is the Difference Between Human & Natural Air Pollution? By Jenny Green; Updated February 02, 2018The major difference between natural and man-made air pollution is that continuous or temporary natural events cause natural air pollution, but human activities are responsible for man-made pollution. We can't prevent natural air pollution from sources like volcanoes, but we can reduce man-made pollutants and their consequences: respiratory diseases, acid rain and global warming. In the Air Air pollutants are gases and particles that harm people or other life, damage materials or reduce visibility. Some air pollution comes from volcanic eruptions, forest fires and hot springs, but most is the result to human activities. Power plants, factories, cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxides and particulate matter that consists of fine particles suspended in the air. Burning oil, coal, gasoline and other fossil fuels is a major cause of man-made air pollution. Other man-made sources of air pollution include waste disposal, dry cleaning, paints, chemical manufacture, wood stoves and flour mills. Natural Sources of Air Pollution Natural air pollutants include radon, fog and mist, ozone, ash, soot, salt spray, and volcanic and combustion gases. Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps from the ground in some areas, and fog and mist are both dense water vapor at ground level that obscures vision."

"text": "\"NOx & SOx as Pieces of an Overall Emissions Control Puzzle07/15/2013Eco Power Solutions operates two of its systems - one on gas-fired boiler and the other for coal-fired - at their technology center in Louisville, Ky. Photo courtesy of Eco Power Solutions. By Kevin Crapsey, Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development, Eco Power Solutions Since the passage of the Clean Air Act, fossil-fired power generators have fueled a robust market for technologies to address nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions. The industry estimated in 2009 that it had spent $75 billion to comply with the Clean Air Interstate Rule alone. A number of different technologies have succeeded in addressing one or both of these pollutants, including flue gas desulfurizers (FGDs), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and sorbents (materials used to absorb gases and liquids). While this market addressed the needs of power generators in the early 1990s, it may be time to consider the needs of 2013 and beyond. As the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) noted under its Integrated Environmental Controls program (Program 75), \"\"fossil fuel-burning power plants also need lower-cost and better-performing sorbents and technologies than those currently available. \"\" One of key reasons to review emissions control options is that NOx and SOx are not the only pollutants that are regulated. Gas and coal power generation plants must address emissions to remain competitive due to additional regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The introductions of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) and upgrades to the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules need to be tied into NOx and SOx control strategies. Traditional emission control technologies only capture one or two pollutants at a time, meaning that addressing the full complement of regulated emissions requires capital expenses for multiple technologies and excess space to install."

"text": "What you smell most of the time is the particulate matter from exhaust emissions. In the US these emissions were not as heavily regulated as gasoline because there are fewer vehicles using diesel engines than gasoline, as of 2007 regulations which mandate a 70% decrease in particulate matter all diesel engine manufacturers have resorted to a particulate filter which traps more than 90% of the particulate matter which you smell and see in the form of black smoke. If you smell the exhaust from a 1950's ford which doesn't have exhaust catalysts you will also notice a very different but pungent smell. Sulphur Dioxide is a part of particulate matter called the Soluble Organic Fraction or SOF for short so the first answer is partially correct. But with the use of particulate filters Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) is mandated to less than 15ppm (parts per million) sulphur verses the 500 ppm and 50 ppm regulations which have been applied over the last few years. This mandate of low sulphur fuels is required to allow exhaust catalyst materials to survive for the useful life of the car just like the removal of lead from gasoline in the 80's and 90's. With these new fuels the smell of diesel from older vehicles is still very obvious because of the portion of smell which comes from the particulate matter fractions other than SOF."

Of all of these pollutants, fine particulate matter has the greatest effect on human health. Most fine particulate matter comes from fuel combustion, both from mobile sources such as vehicles and from stationary sources such as power plants, industry, households or biomass burning. Fine particulate matter is associated with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic illness, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular diseases. Worldwide, it is estimated to cause about 25% of lung cancer deaths, 8% of COPD deaths, and about 15% of ischaemic heart disease and stroke.

Long ago, I decided to stop burning paraffin wax candles in my home, knowing that they are petroleum derived and that burning petroleum products releases a whole host of carcinogens. Aside from my assumption, I knew very little about the actual danger associated with burning candles. The research out there is even scarier than I had originally thought. Lead In order to make the wicks more durable, candle makers have been using a lead or zinc core surrounded by cotton or other materials. When burned, this lead ends up in the air as particulate matter and settles on surrounding furniture. Lead is toxic to humans and there is a lawsuit pending against a retailer who sold a woman candles containing lead that subsequently produced lead poisoning in her family members. The lead concentration in her home, caused by burning candles with lead wicks was 27 times the safe allowable amount in her area. To avoid candles with lead wicks, gently scrape away a little bit of the top layer of wax at the base of the wick to look for metallic fibers. Unless the candle specifically states that it contains no lead, don’t buy or burn the candle."

Recently, algal blooms have once again tainted western Lake Erie with unhealthy, sometimes toxic, green slime. Why is this happening? For the past forty years, scientists at Heidelberg University’s National Center for Water Quality Research have been measuring pollution in the rivers and streams that feed Lake Erie. Decades of monitoring have led to an inescapable conclusion: phosphorus runoff, primarily from agricultural lands, is feeding explosive cyanobacterial growth in the warm, shallow waters of the western basin. Understanding the source of the phosphorus pollution that threatens the health of Lake Erie, and of the communities that depend on it, is the first step toward finding solutions.

You will usually receive a little more money for your items if you sell them. If you choose to take out a loan, you’ll have a specific amount of time (usually a few months) to pay back the loan plus interest before your items are sold to the public. What Can I Pawn? People interested in using a pawn shop might be wondering, “What can I pawn?” The short answer is that you can pawn almost anything of value. Exact items will vary from shop to shop, but there are certain items that are usually universally accepted. Electronics, musical instruments, and jewelry are probably the biggest moneymakers in pawn shops."

While the mainstream media attention may be new, the industry is not. In fact, the history of pawn shops dates back more than 3,000 years. According to the History Channel, the pawn shops of today operate as mini-banks for millions of unbanked Americans and they also serve places for people of all backgrounds to buy and sell items. America’s 12,000 or so pawn shops deal with a huge variety of items including musical instruments, jewelry, and electronics. What does pawning mean?“Pawning” means that you give the pawn shop an item in exchange for a cash loan. For example, you might give them your mountain bike as collateral for a $75 loan. If you repay the loan by a certain date, typically 90 to 120 days after you pawn the item, you can retrieve your bike. The loan repayment amount will include interest and fees that are regulated by the state. If you don’t repay the money on time, the pawn shop takes ownership of the bike and can offer it for resale."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In Charles Dickens' 19th century story Oliver Twist, Fagin (far left) is a fence who recruits homeless boys and trains them as pickpockets. A fence, also known as a receiver, mover/moving man or thiefspawn, is an individual who knowingly buys stolen goods in order to later resell them for profit. The fence acts as a middleman between thieves and the eventual buyers of stolen goods who may not be aware that the goods are stolen. As a verb, the word describes the behaviour of the thief in the transaction: The burglar fenced the stolen radio. This sense of the term came from thieves' slang, first attested c. 1700, from the notion of such transactions providing a defence against being caught. [ 1] [2]The fence is able to make a profit with stolen merchandise because he/she is able to secretly pay thieves a very low price for \"\"hot\"\" goods that cannot be easily sold on the open markets. The thieves who patronize the fence are willing to accept a low profit margin in order to reduce their risks by instantly \"\"washing their hands\"\" of the black market loot and disassociating themselves from the criminal act that procured it. After the sale, the fence recoups their investment by disguising the stolen nature of the goods (via methods such as repackaging and altering/effacing serial numbers) and reselling the goods as near to the white market price as possible without drawing suspicion. This process often relies on a legal business (such as a pawnshop, flea market or street vendor) in order to \"\"launder\"\" the stolen goods by intermixing them with legally-purchased items of the same type. [ 3] Fencing is illegal in all countries, but legally proving a violation of anti-fencing laws can be difficult. ["

"text": "How to Sell an Engagement Ring By Kate Miller-Wilson Jewelry Designer Source Whether you choose to upgrade your ring, want to remove reminders of a broken relationship, or need to sell your engagement ring for any reason, the sales process can be confusing. Knowing where to sell your ring, how much to ask for it, and how best to prepare it for sale can take the mystery out of the process and help you get top dollar for your valuable jewelry. Before You Sell Before you get ready to sell your ring, it's essential that you make sure it's actually yours. In the case of a broken engagement, state laws disagree about who owns the ring. In some cases, the ring is considered the property of the person who received, but in others, it was a conditional gift and must be returned to the giver. This is also an issue in the case of divorce, where the ring may be the property of both parties. To find out about the legality of selling your ring, contact an attorney familiar with the specific laws of your state. How to Sell Your Ring There are many venues open to individuals and couples who want to sell an engagement ring. Each is suited to certain situations, so it's best to examine all your options before choosing the best one for you. Selling to an Individual Directly selling your ring to another person is your best chance to recoup as much of its value as possible, since there's no middleman to take a cut of your profits."

There are, however, a few types of items that tend to move faster than others. Those are the items shops will pay the most dollars for since they'll also sell for the most money. Popular Electronic Items Electronics typically sell very quickly at pawn shops. According to Title Max, a pawn and lending service, pawnbrokers will offer top dollar for your favorite video game system, computer, printer or gadget. Flat panel televisions are among the top sellers, but condition does matter. Many pawn shops will only accept undamaged flat panel televisions made in the last two years, according to NBC News. Jewelry and Precious Metals According to a 2013 article on the pawn industry website Pawn Nerd, jewelry is the top item that people buy at pawnshops. Jewelry appeals to pawnbrokers because there's a high turnover rate and they produce a considerable profit margin."

The Game Boy Color has a number of interesting rarities due to how long Nintendo kept the platform going — even after the release of the Game Boy Advance. Since this guide was originally published in 2008, we have seen quite an increase in values for boxed and sealed games. So I have updated and expanded this list (and separated it from the original Game Boy listings)In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, this Rare & Valuable series will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you’ll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling. Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average daily selling price, which is typically the going rate for the game by itself. The second price is the highest price in the past three months which is usually the price for the new/sealed game. The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices. Note that some of these games are not rare in the sense that there are not many available, but rare relative to demand, which makes the games expensive.

Our employees use it to report their time so we can process our weekly payroll and to request time off. We use the HR and Benefits package for our annual benefits open enrollment process and the benefits changes flow into payroll so there is no extra processing involved. ADP also sends the benefit info to our insurance third party administrator for enrollments. Love that employees can update any changes to their demographics, direct deposit info, and federal/state tax exemptions. Performance reviews are online so managers and employees can view historical reviews without me having to make copies from their personnel file. Pros and Cons Benefits enrollment - saves so much time by having the benefits enrollment online."

S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations Stanley W. Suchman noted that, after testing for statistical significance, wages in the local area were lower than their respective national averages in 12 of the 22 major occupational groups, including legal; management; and life, physical, and social science. Two groups had significantly higher wages than their respective national averages: sales and related; and installation, maintenance, and repair. When compared to the nationwide distribution, local employment was more highly concentrated in 8 of the 22 occupational groups, including office and administrative support; management; and computer and mathematical. Conversely, 11 groups had employment shares significantly below their national representation, including food preparation and serving related; education, training, and library; and healthcare support.

One occupational group—office and administrative support—was chosen to illustrate the diversity of data available for any of the 22 major occupational categories. Salt Lake City had 132,680 jobs in office and administrative support occupations, accounting for 19.5 percent of local area employment, significantly higher than the 15.7-percent share nationally."

Here's why. March 29, 2018Ascentis HR Review: \"\"OK Computer... You Didn’t Learn That In School\"\"Jennifer Steffens IT & Marketing Coordinator Howry Residential Services Mental Health Care, 201-500 employees Score 6 out of 10 Vetted Review Verified User Review Source Use Cases and Deployment Scope We are currently using Ascentis HR across our whole organization. However, for the majority of our employees, they are mainly using only the Employee Portal/Employee Self-Service site so that they can see their paychecks, make simple changes to demographic information to their HR records, and changes some of their payroll information such as W4 withholdings as well as direct deposit changes. Our managers are granted a bit more access and can see some basic demographic information as well as compensation and job history. This aids them when doing reviews, job transfers, and in essence, gives them a little more information at their fingertips without having to dig through files or try to remember at the top of their head the history of each employee. Our payroll department utilizes it somewhat; however, not nearly as much as our HR department which is the department that accesses it and engages in it every day. Pros and Cons Ascentis HR is particularly helpful in keeping a record of past jobs and/or managers. If you have an organization that lets employees move from one department to another fairly often, this software has a tool that will help you keep track when Employee \"\"A\"\" moved from Supervisor \"\"X\"\" to Supervisor \"\"Y\"\" as well as from Department \"\"B\"\" to Department \"\"F\"\" without having to restart that employees length of service. Ascentis HR also has a number of ways that you can customize tabs."

Records To Be Kept By Employers Highlights: The FLSA sets minimum wage , overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards for employment subject to its provisions. Unless exempt, covered employees must be paid at least the minimum wage and not less than one and one-half times their regular rates of pay for overtime hours worked. Posting: Employers must display an official poster outlining the provisions of the Act, available at no cost from local offices of the Wage and Hour Division and toll-free, by calling 1-866-4USWage (1-866-487-9243). This poster is also available electronically for downloading and printing at http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/osdbu/sbrefa/poster/main.htm . What Records Are Required: Every covered employer must keep certain records for each non-exempt worker. The Act requires no particular form for the records, but does require that the records include certain identifying information about the employee and data about the hours worked and the wages earned. The law requires this information to be accurate. The following is a listing of the basic records that an employer must maintain: Employee's full name and social security number. Address, including zip code."

Aside from basic payroll operations, we also allow pay advances. Payroll has a unique, if not quite ideal, system for managing these advances. Once you learn the nuances (yes, learning curve) it works pretty well. Also, we frequently have employees request copies of pay stubs. As we only have a couple licenses at present, there is no capacity for people to get them without help. Paycor is extremely user-friendly when searching for employees by name, and in obtaining a PDF to print or email for an employee."

"text": "Home »Get Ahead »Managing the Office Payroll Assistant Duties By Maria Christensen; Updated July 05, 2017John Rowley/Digital Vision/Getty Images A payroll assistant position may not be glamorous, but other employees tend to be grateful for the work you do since it results in paychecks being issued. Your duties will vary depending on the size of your company. In a small business you might do everything except analyze payroll reports and sign the checks, while in a larger company your work may be focused on data entry and clerical tasks. A payroll assistant can report to a payroll supervisor, department head or controller depending on the size and structure of the company. Qualifications You don't need an education beyond high school to work as a payroll assistant, but you should be able to show that you completed some business classes, have good math skills, and can work with computer software programs and adding machines. Some employers like to see at least a few college level courses or an associate degree in accounting or business. Some general office work or cashiering experience might also help you get a job. Good communication skills are necessary for answering questions from coworkers. It's important to remember that payroll is considered sensitive information, and employers need to know that you can keep information confidential. You also need to work well with deadlines, because paychecks must be issued on time."

"text": "Is Your Company SCA Compliant? Figure It Out Before the United States Department of Labor Figures It Out for You!Spring 2014For nearly 50 years, the Mc Namara-O'Hara Service Contract Act (41 U. S. C. §§ 6701-6707) (SCA) has imposed certain minimum wage and fringe benefit payment obligations on federal service contractors. Although in many ways, general compliance with the core requirements imposed by the SCA ( i.e., payment of prevailing wage and fringe benefits, basic recordkeeping, and notification requirements) appears to be relatively straightforward, the “devil is in the details” when it comes to ensuring that your company will be able to successfully navigate a United States Department of Labor (DOL) SCA audit or investigation. The DOL's Wage & Hour Division has an active cadre of investigators reviewing contractors' compliance under SCA-covered contracts throughout the country. DOL SCA investigations can address a wide range of SCA compliance issues and, importantly, any SCA investigation can expand to include not only the areas of SCA compliance that triggered the audit, but also wholly unrelated areas of SCA compliance. Given the potential sanctions involved with SCA non-compliance—including statutory debarment absent “unusual circumstances”—there is no substitute for full compliance with all obligations imposed by the SCA. Although many contractors tend to focus their attention on SCA compliance during the bid preparation phase, SCA compliance is an ongoing “living” obligation during contract performance. Indeed, there are many aspects of performance that can change during the life of the contract ( e.g., place of performance, wage determination requirements, job duties, company benefit offerings) and these changes can have a significant impact on SCA compliance. A failure to continually assess the impact of such changes during performance could expose a service contractor to significant liability under the SCA. With this in mind, we have identified certain recurring SCA issues that can present significant challenges to contractors performing in today's federal service contracting environment."

"title": "http://www.worldwidelearn.com/online-associate/index.html\nOnline Associate Degrees",
"text": "\"Tweet Associate degrees are a type of undergraduate degree that can be earned after two years of full-time study -- or once 60 semester credit hours are completed. While many people earn an associate degree before moving onto a four-year degree program, others use their two-year degrees to begin careers in a wide range of professional and technical industries. Benefits of Online Associate Degrees Earning an associate degree comes with many benefits. For starters, Associate degrees can be earned on a shorter timeline than four-year degrees, which can mean quicker entry into the workforce. Meanwhile, a growing body of research shows that associate degrees will be in high demand in the future. According to a Georgetown University study on job growth and education requirements through 2020, 30 percent of job openings through 2020 will require candidates to have an associate degree or better. Further, many of the industries where associate degrees dominate -- health care, community services and STEM fields, for example -- are expected to be some of the fastest-growing occupational clusters. While earning a two-year, associate degree can help students enter the workforce quickly, it can also be more affordable in the long run. According to figures from the College Board, average tuition at a public two-year school was just $3,347 for the 2014-15 school year, while tuition at public, four-year schools averaged out to $9,139. With such a huge disparity in the cost of these programs, it's no wonder that so many students see associate degrees as a faster, more affordable option."

"text": "Native American Peace Pipe Learn the history of the Native American peace pipe and how to make it. A Native American peace pipe is often used in a spiritual ceremony. During the ceremony, Native Americans will smoke from the peace pipe and say a prayer to the four directions. The Native American peace pipe is not restricted to being used only be Native Americans, but it is a spiritual thing and what it symbolizes must be respected by everyone attending the ceremony. Other types of pipes used in ceremonies were the medicine pipe and the war pipe. The Indian that carried the peace pipe was often allowed to pass through enemy territory out of respect. The war pipe had red feathers symbolizing blood and was smoked before going into battle. What a Native American peace pipe is made of may vary from tribe to tribe. The Cherokee and Chickasaw tribes often used river clay that was formed into a bowl shape then “cooked” by putting it over a hot fire for the bowl of a peace pipe. Bluestone is hard quartzite that is greenish blue."

The idiom refers to a Native American practice of literally burying a tomahawk, or hatchet, in the ground as a symbol of a peace agreement between tribes. Many Native American tribes held the practice of burying, hiding, or destroying their weapons during peacetime or as a symbol of a truce. According to tradition, it originated with the Iroquois. It is said that the truce between the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca tribes, thereafter known as collectively as the Iroquois, was accompanied by the tribes burying their weapons under a white pine. An underground stream was believed to have miraculously washed them away. Native Americans did not only bury the hatchet when making peace with each other, but also when making peace with Europeans. After American Independence, the new government continued performed this act with Native American tribes as a sign of peace. A similar practice to burying the hatchet was used as recently as 1990 in the Oka Crisis, a land dispute between the Mohawk tribe and the Canadian town of Oka, Quebec."

The Cheyenne originally lived in what is now Minnesota, but at some point moved out further west along the Cheyenne River. They finally settled in two areas on the Great Plains: the Northern Cheyenne near the Platte River and the Southern Cheyenne near the Arkansas River. The Southern Cheyenne allied with their neighbors the Arapaho, and they fought the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache. But later, the five tribes made peace and became allies. The Southern Cheyenne joined with the Arapaho, forming a large tribe that spread out over a large area. When American settlers arrived, the Cheyenne territory covered South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. Cheyenne teepees were made out of animal hide and had a hole in the top to release smoke. The Cheyenne didn't live near the coast, but they used rafts to travel on rivers. They also didn't have horses until the first settlers came, so they used dogsleds instead."

This article provides a brief survey of the different methods Muhammad used to spread Islam. The survey only consults established Islamic historical sources.1.

People began to accept Islam, both men and women, in large numbers until the fame of it was spread throughout Mecca, and it began to be talked about.

He should not be confused with the character in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, The Song of Hiawatha. In the late nineteenth century, the Iroquois Six Nations Council asked their six hereditary Chiefs to write in English for the first time the traditional oral history of the formation of the League of Five nations. It was formed about 1390, 100 years before Columbus discovered America. ( The Tuscaroras joined the League conditionally in 1715. ) The traditional history was dictated by the six ceremonial Chiefs, one from each of these tribes: the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, Onondagas, and the Tuscaroras. Two subchiefs were appointed secretaries, and the typewritten report was prepared by an Indian. On July 3, 1900, the completed history was approved by the Council of the Confederacy. About 1390, an Iroquois mother living near the Bay of Quinte had a very special dream: A messenger came to her and revealed that her maiden daughter, who lived at home, would soon give birth to a son. She would call him De-ka-nah-wi-da (De-kah-a-wee-da)."

From the three villages in the southern part of their nation, the Chickasaws looked west across the prairie to where the French forces had bivouacked. They were not much further than a musket shot away. Poised though the army was, there was no consensus among the Indians that the French would attack these three villages. There were no Natchez in these villages, and according to the captured French war plans, the French intended to first attack the Natchez whose village was just adjacent to the Chickasaw villages two or three miles to the north. Ever since the Natchez and French had traded massacres in 1729 and 1730, respectively, they had been deadly enemies. The French army had nearly wiped out the Natchez; most of the Natchez survivors fled north to the Chickasaws who provided asylum. Subsequently, as a condition to beginning any serious talks with the Chickasaw, the French insisted that the tribe first hand over these refugee Natchez for punishment. What the French may have failed to realize was that the Chickasaw and Natchez had a long-standing alliance. That would explain why so many of the surviving Natchez fled not to the Choctaws, who were much closer, but to the Chickasaws."

That little-remembered century—1600 to 1700—that began with the founding (and foundering) of the first permanent English settlement in America, the one called Jamestown, whose endemic perils portended failure for the dream of a New World. The century that saw all the disease-ridden, barely civilized successors to Jamestown slaughtering and getting slaughtered by the Original Inhabitants, hanging on by their fingernails to some fetid coastal swampland until Pocahontas saved Thanksgiving. No, that’s not right, is it? I said it was a blur. Enter Bernard Bailyn, the greatest historian of early America alive today. Now over 90 and ensconced at Harvard for more than six decades, Bailyn has recently published another one of his epoch-making grand narrative syntheses, The Barbarous Years, casting a light on the darkness, filling in the blank canvas with what he’s gleaned from what seems like every last scrap of crumbling diary page, every surviving chattel slave receipt and ship’s passenger manifest of the living and dead, every fearful sermon about the Antichrist that survived in the blackened embers of the burned-out churches.

While almost all of the Indian tribes provided the Captains and their men with valuable assistance, the reader will note that in many cases it was often a reciprocal arrangement, e.g. the expedition frequently exchanged unique goods and services for provisions. Interestingly enough, one of the few times the Lewis and Clark expedition was prepared to use armed force was during the winter with they spent with the Mandan tribes. Interpreter George Drouillard and Privates Robert Frazer, Silas Goodrich and John Newman departed Fort Mandan to hunt for fresh meat on 14 February 1805. About 25 miles downstream, a large party of Sioux Indians robbed the soldiers. After the chastened quartet made their way back to the fort with this bad news, a force of twenty volunteers was quickly assembled. At dawn on 15 February, under the leadership of Captain Lewis, the soldiers set off in pursuit. The next morning they spotted a column of smoke rising into the frigid air. The Sioux, after spending the night in deserted Mandan lodges, had made this signal when they set fire to lodges as they departed. Not finding the Sioux when they arrived at the deserted village, the expedition's attention once again turned to peacefully replenishing their supply of fresh meat."

He was married to only one - Khadijah - from the age of twenty-five, until his wife died when he was fifty. The others he married after her were all part of maintaining tribal ties and ties between himself and his closest companions. Though the number of wives is limited to four for believing men, the Prophet was not restricted. Answer 2 He married eleven, total. Most of them were middle aged. Either they were prominent women who lost their husbands, or they were from a Jewish, or Christian tribe (Sophia and Miriam). By this, Muhammad forged alliances. ( For more information about Muhammad's wives, see the related link) Answer 3 It depends how you define a \"\"wife\"\". ( 1) If you believe that a man can only have one wife at a time, then by modern Western standards, Mohammed married twice , first to Khadija, then after her death to Sawda. ("

Saeb Erekat, the Palestinian Authority’s chief negotiator for the U. S-brokered peace talks with Israel, claimed at a conference in Munich that he is a direct descendant of the Canaanite tribes who lived in Israel some 9,000 years ago, according to reports in the Palestine Press and Times of Israel on Sunday. Erekat said, “I am the proud son of the Canaanites who were there 5,500 years before Joshua bin Nun burned down the town of Jericho. ”However, his family tree, posted on Facebook, shows his clan descends from Arabia, not Canaan. His family is part of the Huwaitat tribe, now one of the largest in Jordan,who migrated from Medina to the desert and the Levant settling on Aqaba, then coming to Israel many decades ago, but not centuries nor millennia. Also inaccurate was Erekat’s reference to the Biblical prophet Joshua, who lived some 3,300 years ago. According to the Bible, Joshua famously circled his troops around the city of Jericho, and, after blowing a shofar, a ram’s horn, the walls collapsed, the city was never torched. As for Jericho, itself, Erekat wasn’t born there. He is from Abu Dis, a town two miles from Jerusalem, but, since 1996, he represents Jericho in the Palestinian Legislative Council. His exaggerations were all countered Sunday by blogger Elder of Ziyo n, who cited an interview conducted by al Rai Media with an Erekat relative, also from Abu Dis, describing their family’s more recent provenance, including when they first came to the village from Jordan to water their flocks outside Jerusalem."

Americanization policies were based on the idea that when indigenous people learned United States (American) customs and values, they would be able to merge tribal traditions with American culture and peacefully join the majority of the society. After the end of the Indian Wars, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the government outlawed the practice of traditional religious ceremonies. It established Native American boarding schools which children were required to attend."

"text": "Feather Tattoos A bird's feathers represents more than just gaudy plumage. In many cultures across the globe, feathers are believed hold spiritual power, as such, they are integral parts of many tribal rituals. From as far back as the early days of mankind, humans have always valued feathers for their beauty. For many, the feathers of a particular bird are considered to be sacred gifts from the gods and they are treated with the highest degree of reverence that the members of the tribe can possibly bestow. From the thick forests of Papua New Guinea to the almost impenetrable jungles of the Amazon, there have been countless documented cases of tribal ceremonies incorporating the feathers from a particular avian as a way to pay tribute to the gods. Due to their association with the gods, feathers are often seen as symbols of status and authority. The most eye-catching plumage is normally reserved only for the tribe's most respected members in the belief that only they are worthy of making use of the heavenly gifts. The Druids were believed to wear cloaks made of feathers in order to evoke the spirits of the sky god and allowed the priests to communicate with this all-powerful being. Feathers are also symbolic of knowledge. One of the earliest writing instruments, the quill pen, was actually a bird's feather."

After 28 days of incubation, the peacock eggs hatch, in a nest usually hidden in the woods, in leaves, sometimes in dirt. I've heard of peahens sitting on a nest in the open, next to a woodpile!

"text": "\"Ivry Ben Efraim Although indigenous to the Indian sub-continent, the peacock has spread far beyond its native land and acquired symbolic meaning in a number of diverse cultures. In India, the peacock carries both negative and positive symbolism. According to Hindu tradition, the flesh of the peacock is considered impure (i.e. bad to eat), since during the time of creation it was the one who captured the negative energies of the universe in its body. On the other hand, the peacock is also the chosen mount of Kartikeya (also known as Skanda or Murugan), the god of war and son of the deities Shiva and Parvati. In secular terms, Indians see the peacock as a symbol of love and beauty- associations present in other cultures as well. However, the birds also posses a rather unmelodious cry, considered by some to be a herald of the rainy season/monsoon. There is even am Indian saying that accurately summarizes all of this varied symbolism: \"\"a peacock has the feathers of an angel, the voice of the devil, and the walk of a thief\"\". In the Islamic world, the peacock is strongly associated with Paradise. In his epic work The Conference of the Birds, the 12th century Persian poet Farid ud-Din Attar says the peacock was one of the creatures who originally lived in Paradise, but like Adam and Eve, was tempted into sin by the serpent and thus exiled from the Garden of Eden. Attar also says, however, that if the peacock can defeat the serpent and its temptation, Paradise will once again be open to it, adding a theme of redemption to the peacock's symbolism."

The bright plumage draws attention to the male; showing off his vibrant feathers is a sign of health. His unnaturally large and disproportionate tail, which would otherwise hinder an animal's survival, is proof of his successful survivability; this is known as Handicap Theory. The loud peafowl call that echoes through the woods is a symbol of his dominance and vigor. His heavy tail-waiving and dancing is a sign of strength.

If you’ve ever seen a peacock at the zoo (or in the wild), you can’t have missed their incredible feathers. With huge, elaborate eye-spotted tail covert feathers, these birds look like a case of natural selection gone horribly awry – but in a completely fascinating way. However, that’s about as far as general knowledge of peacocks goes. As it turns out, they have some other rather interesting traits that help them stand out from the rest of the avian world. For instance, if you ever see a peacock caught outside in a rainstorm, there’s a good chance you’ve seen that beautiful beast dance. The question is… why do these stunning birds like to dance in the rain? The answer isn’t actually that simple.

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_color\nStructural coloration",
"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Structural color)navigation search The brilliant iridescent colours of the peacock's tail feathers are created by structural coloration, as first noted by Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke. Structural coloration is the production of colour by microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light, sometimes in combination with pigments. For example, peacock tail feathers are pigmented brown, but their microscopic structure makes them also reflect blue, turquoise, and green light, and they are often iridescent. Structural coloration was first observed by English scientists Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton, and its principle – wave interference – explained by Thomas Young a century later. Young described iridescence as the result of interference between reflections from two or more surfaces of thin films, combined with refraction as light enters and leaves such films. The geometry then determines that at certain angles, the light reflected from both surfaces interferes constructively, while at other angles, the light interferes destructively. Different colours therefore appear at different angles. In animals such as on the feathers of birds and the scales of butterflies, interference is created by a range of photonic mechanisms, including diffraction gratings, selective mirrors, photonic crystals, crystal fibres, matrices of nanochannels and proteins that can vary their configuration. Some cuts of meat also show structural coloration due to the exposure of the periodic arrangement of the muscular fibres. Many of these photonic mechanisms correspond to elaborate structures visible by electron microscopy."

"text": "\"Peacocks are male peafowl, a type of pheasant that also includes the female peahen. No matter the species of peacock, these colorful creatures boast impressively sized and patterned plumage that they fan out for display purposes. It isn't an act of vanity, though -- peacocks fan out their feathers as part of a courtship ritual to attact a mate. Attracting a Mate Every peacock has a look all his own, made of distinct color patterns and \"\"eyespots\"\" scattered across the plumage. When a male courts a female, he spreads out his tail feathers to display his colors and eyespots fully for her to see. Completely fanned out, the tail spreads behind the peacock in a full semicircle, though some peacocks have tails that are bigger than others. Ultimately, the size and the patterns of the tail help her choose whether or not she'll mate with him. How Females Choose When the peahen observes a peacock spreading his feathers, she chooses whether he's a suitable mate for her. Generally, the more eyespots and the bigger the tail, the better his chances are for procuring one or many mates. Particularly \"\"attractive\"\" males may collect several loyal mates, all of which find the qualities of his tail irresistable."

There are two rules that and alchemist must follow: transmuting gold and trying to bring someone back from the dead is not allowed. In what had started the entire series, Ed and Al’s attempt in reviving their late mother, lies a complex symbol that plays an important role in their naïve attempt at the taboo called human transmutation. This is none other than the human transmutation circle. Fig. 1 The human transmutation circle used by Edward Elric in their unsuccessful attempt at reviving their mother. The circle is a symbol of unity and spirituality, of wholeness and interconnection of everything. In alchemy, there is the principle of “All is One and One is All,” hence the shape. The three big symbols in the middle of the transmutation circle refer to the Three Primes in alchemy, which are Sulphur (1), Mercury (2) and Salt (3)."

"text": "\"Symbolism of the Peacock ~ Totems Filed in Totems, Wisdom on February 1, 2013 with no comments ~While some believe that having peacock feathers in the home is bad luck, I am of the opinion that the energy we put into our thoughts is what actually brings us our luck. The collection of feathers that we do have indoors was gifted to us at a music festival held at a peacock farm in Oregon by one of the caretakers. It was an offering to our then unborn son and the feathers were gathered as they naturally dropped from the tails of the birds. We would never dream of such a gift possessing negative energy!Peacock feathers are a symbol of renewal. The entire tail of feathers is renewed each year and they lose the previous batch over the season naturally. Peacocks are revered around the globe and have been for centuries: It is believed that a peacock (sometimes a pair of peacocks) stands guard at the entrance to the Gates of Paradise. They are also a symbol of the immortality of Christ. In Buddhist iconography, peacocks are symbols of wisdom. They are compared to the great bodhisattvas for their ability to consume poisonous plants without being affected, just as a bodhisattva is capable of taking in the toxins of human emotion while still attaining Enlightenment. Native American cultures view the peacock as a symbol of dignity, wholeness, and beauty."

"text": "Symbolism At Nbc: Peacock Is In, `N` Is Out August 02, 1985 | By Tom Shales, Washington Post Writers Group. First it was ``The Big N.`` Then it was ``The Proud N.`` Now it is ``The Dead N.`` NBC`s trademark is going the way of new, improved Coke: off to the land of corporate clinkers. NBC will be phasing out the ``N`` over the coming months and introducing a symbol that combines a redesigned version of the NBC peacock with the three letters of NBC`s name. ``The Big N`` should disappear entirely by next June, when the new symbol will have completely taken over. Decisions on such weighty matters are not made capriciously. This one took years. It was always the goal of former NBC Chairman Fred Silverman to phase out ``The Big N`` and replace it with the peacock, a symbol Silverman rescued from the corporate attic (parent company RCA had used it in the `50s and `60s to push the sale of color TV sets) because he thought the peacock denoted ``pride`` in NBC`s programming. NBC executive vice president M. S. Rukeyser Jr., vacationing in the south of France, said from his expensive hotel there that Silverman ordered up something called ``The Proud N`` as a transitional symbol in the interim. ``Proud`` is a ``Big N`` with a peacock embedded in it. Rukeyser conceded that ``The Proud N`` was something of a flop."

It invests objects or actions with an inner meaning expressing Christian ideas. The symbolism of the early Church was characterized by being understood by initiates only, [1] while after the legalization of Christianity in the 4th-century more recognizable symbols entered in use. Christianity has borrowed from the common stock of significant symbols known to most periods and to all regions of the world. [ 2]Christianity has not generally practiced Aniconism, or the avoidance or prohibition of types of images, even if the early Jewish Christians sects, as well as some modern denominations, preferred to some extent not to use figures in their symbols, by invoking the Decalogue's prohibition of idolatry.

Early use of a globus cruciger on a solidus minted by Leontios (r. 695–698); on the obverse, a stepped cross in the shape of a Iota Eta monogram. The shape of the cross, as represented by the letter T, came to be used as a \"\"seal\"\" or symbol of Early Christianity by the 2nd century. [ 3] At the end of the 2nd century, it is mentioned in the Octavius of Minucius Felix, rejecting the claim by detractors that Christians worship the cross. [ 4] The cross (crucifix, Greek stauros) in this period was represented by the letter T. Clement of Alexandria in the early 3rd century calls it τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον (\"\"the Lord's sign\"\") he repeats the idea, current as early as the Epistle of Barnabas, that the number 318 (in Greek numerals, ΤΙΗ) in Genesis 14:14 was a foreshadowing (a \"\"type\"\") of the cross (T, an upright with crossbar, standing for 300) and of Jesus (ΙΗ, the first two letters of his name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, standing for 18).

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

Pelican Temporal range: Early Oligocene -Recent, 28.1–0 Ma PreЄ Є O S D C P T J K Pg NA great white pelican in breeding condition flying over Walvis Bay, Namibia. Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Pelecaniformes Family: Pelecanidae Rafinesque, 1815Genus: Pelecanus Linnaeus, 1758Type species Pelecanus onocrotalus Linnaeus, 1758Species8, see text Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that makes up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterised by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian pelicans. The bills, pouches and bare facial skin of all species become brightly coloured before the breeding season. The eight living pelican species have a patchy global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone, though they are absent from interior South America as well as from polar regions and the open ocean. Long thought to be related to frigatebirds, cormorants, tropicbirds, gannets and boobies, pelicans instead are now known to be most closely related to the shoebill and hamerkop, and are placed in the order Pelecaniformes. Ibises, spoonbills, herons and the desolate bitterns have been classified in the same order. Fossil evidence of pelicans dates back to at least 30 million years to the remains of a beak very similar to that of modern species recovered from Oligocene strata in France."

The Largest Animal Ever: The Blue Whale The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest known animal to have ever existed. The Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 metric tons (5,952 pounds), about the size of an average Asian Elephant and its heart weighs about 600 kg (1,300 lb) and is the largest known in any animal. Not only is the heart similar size to a mini-cooper car but also comparable in weight. The Blue Whale is thought to feed almost exclusively on small, shrimp-like creatures called Krill. During the summer feeding season the Blue Whale gorges itself, consuming an astounding 3.6 metric tons (7,900 pounds) or more each day."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature30 Basic Bird Groups Share Flipboard Email Print Oscar Wong / Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated December 07, 2017The earth is home to over 10,000 species of birds, scattered across a wide range of habitats—wetlands, woodlands, mountains, deserts, tundra, shorelines, and even the open sea. While experts differ on the fine details about how birds should be classified, on the following slides, you'll discover the 30 bird groups that pretty much everyone agrees on—ranging from albatrosses and petrels to toucans and woodpeckers.01of 30Albatrosses and Petrels (Order Procellariiformes)Getty Images Birds in the order Procellariiformes, also known as tubenoses, include diving petrels, gadfly petrels, albatrosses, shearwaters, fulmars and prions, about 100 living species in all. These birds spend most of their time at sea, gliding over the open water and dipping down to snatch meals of fish, plankton, and other small marine animals. Tubenoses are colonial birds, returning to land only to breed (breeding sites vary among species, but in general, these birds prefer remote islands and rugged coastal cliffs), and they are monogamous, forming long-term bonds between mating pairs. A unifying anatomical characteristic of albatrosses and petrels is their nostrils, which are enclosed in external tubes that run from the base of their bill towards its tip. Amazingly enough, these birds can drink seawater: they remove salt from the water using a special gland located at the base of their bills, after which the excess salt is excreted out through their tubular nostrils. The largest tubenose species is the wandering albatross, the wingspan of which can reach 12 feet. The smallest is the least storm petrel, with a wingspan of just over one foot.02of 30Birds of Prey (Order Falconiformes)Getty Images The Falconiformes, or birds of prey, include eagles, hawks, kites, secretary birds, ospreys, falcons and old world vultures, about 300 species in all. Also known as raptors (but not all that closely related to the raptor dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era), birds of prey are formidable predators, armed with powerful talons, hooked bills, acute eyesight, and broad wings well-suited for soaring and diving. Raptors hunt by day, feeding on fish, small mammals, reptiles, other birds, and abandoned carrion."

"text": "\"Charlene Dargay, LSU graduate, former Louisiana resident Answered Apr 2, 2016 · Author has 919 answers and 1.4m answer views Because of the abundance of Brown Pelicans found along the coast of Louisiana, the state is commonly referred to as \"\"The Pelican State.\"\" This bird has been a symbol of Louisiana since the arrival of early European settlers who were impressed with the pelican's generous and nurturing attitude toward its young. The brown pelican is the state bird and appears on Louisiana's state flag, great seal, the official state painting (along with many other symbols and icons of Louisiana), and is one of three Louisiana symbols displayed on the U. S. mint's bicentennial Louisiana quarter. In the 1960s, the use of pesticides caused the brown pelican, native to the area, to stop nesting along the Gulf coast. By 1966, the bird had completely disappeared in Louisiana. In 1968, Louisiana began importing fledglings from Florida in an attempt to repopulate the coastline and, in 1970, the Federal Government declared the brown pelican an endangered species. Protection of the brown pelican's habitat along with repopulation efforts were successful, and the bird had \"\"recovered\"\" in Louisiana by 1995. Louisiana is also known as: The State of Louisiana The Bayou State - because of the many slow, sluggish small streams that meander through the lowlands and marshes of the southern section of the state Sportsman's Paradise - This nickname appears on the Louisiana license plates The Creole State - refers to Louisianians of French and Spanish descent and to the culture they have preserved.300 Views · View Upvoterspromoted by Grammarly Your writing, at its best.

"text": "What do Pelicans Eat17 Nov, 2012 what do animals eat 1Pelicans are large aquatic birds best known for their long beak which features a large throat pouch for catching prey. There are 8 species of pelican on the planet and at least one species can be found on every continent apart from Antarctica. They are generally found in warm regions, although some species do travel to cooler regions during breeding. Most species of pelicans are quite large and are among the heaviest of all flying birds. Let’s find out what these interesting birds eat. What do pelicans eat? The vast majority of the pelican diet is made up of fish and a pelican is capable of eating a fish up to 30 cm (1 ft) in length. They will also eat amphibians (such as frogs), turtles, crustaceans and even other small birds and bird eggs. They usually catch fish and other aquatic animals near the surface of the water. They scoop up their prey into their throat pouch and they are capable of catching multiple small fish at the same time."

"text": "The federal Pell Grant program was designed to help college students coming from low-income families afford the high cost of going to college without getting buried in debt. But the Pell Grant now covers less than one-third of the cost of attendance at public four-year university, the lowest in its history. Where the maximum Pell Grant once covered the entire cost of obtaining a two-year degree and 77 percent of the cost at a public university in 1980, it now covers only 62 percent of the cost of a two-year degree and 36 percent towards a public four-year degree. Even though the Pell Grant has never covered such a small fraction, it’s been subject to repeated attempts to cut it and make sure it continues to shrink in the future. At the same time, the cost of college is projected to increase faster than inflation. Meghan Mc Clean, director of policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said the Great Recession has created a “perfect storm”: More people are going back to school, states have scaled back higher education support, and tuition is growing faster than the Pell Grant can keep up. The History Pell Grants were born during Richard Nixon’s presidency. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, later renamed the Pell Grant, was created in a 1972 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The HEA was a piece of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society agenda, sometimes referred to as the War on Poverty, and it’s subject to reauthorization every five or six years. The Pell Grant was named for Sen. Claiborne Pell, a popular Rhode Island Democrat, who served from 1961 to 1997, and died in 2009."

"text": "\"Financial Aid Awards FEE PAYMENTIf you have applied for financial aid, you may be eligible to postpone payment of your registration fees and Tuition Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) until your financial aid has disbursed at the beginning of the semester. To qualify for postponement of your fee payment, you must meet the condition below: You have accepted a financial aid award at the time you register for classes and you have enough anticipated aid to cover your tuition, fees, and/or TIPP Payment. Most grant funds are automatically accepted on your behalf. Therefore, if State University Grant (SUG), Education Opportunity Grant (EOP), Cal Grant A or B, Federal Pell Grant, or Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) are accepted on your account, those funds can be used as anticipated aid to lower what is due now on your account. Those monies will be automatically deducted at the time of disbursement. You must formally accept a loan in order to use those funds as anticipated aid to lower what is due now on your account. If you have been offered a Federal Direct Loan, Federal Perkins Loan or Dream Loan, go to Titan Online and \"\"View Financial Aid\"\". Click on the \"\"Accept/Decline Awards\"\" link and follow the instructions to accept the loan. The \"\"Account Inquiry\"\" page in Titan Online displays your fee charges and any anticipated financial aid. If you do not have enough anticipated financial aid available to offset your charges in full, you must pay the balance."

"text": "The Pell Grant Free Money for College Most college bound students find it necessary to supplement their education fund with some form of loan or grant, be it public or private. The U. S. Department of Education provides a number of student loans and grants that are designed to help offset the rising costs of college tuition in the United States. Federal student loans programs, such as the Perkins, Stafford and PLUS loans, offer students the opportunity to secure education loans at the most attractive rates and terms available. While these loans have helped millions of students to make their college dreams a reality, they do require borrowers to sign promissory notes guaranteeing the repayment of all loan moneys plus applicable interest. These loan programs regularly play a large part in helping students pay for their college tuition. The Pell Grant, however, stands apart from any federal loan programs in that recipients are not required to repay any of the money they receive. The Pell Grant is a government award of money requiring no repayment, provided the student recipient meets program requirements and remains enrolled in college for the duration of the grant period. History What we know today as the Pell Grant, began as the Higher Education Act of 1965. Proposed by then President Lyndon Johnson and passed by Congress, the HEA provided financial aid to students from low income families who would otherwise have been unable to afford a college education. In 1972 the HEA was reformed under the oversight of Senator Claiborne Pell."

"text": "A Federal Pell Grant is what every incoming student wants: a student loan that never has to be repaid. Gift loans are the best way to pay for college. However, Pell Grants are not as beneficial as a scholarship that pays tuition outright. A Pell Grant will only be $4,000–obviously a hefty sum, but it still might fall short of all college expenses. For this reason, Pell Grants are often combined with other types of financial aid opportunities. Like most financial aid programs, families must prove financial necessity. For the Pell Grant, the family income must be below $50,000. The majority of Pell Grants–over five million Grants given yearly–are for families with incomes in the $20,000 range. By and large, Pell Grants are for students with a larger financial need than others. In addition to financial need, students must need to prove residency in the state where they are applying, as well as prove U. S. citizenship."

These grants are considered the foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources might be added. Generally, Pell Grants are only awarded to undergraduate students who have not yet earned a bachelor's or graduate degree. ( In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a post-baccalaureate teacher certification program might receive a Pell Grant. ) How do I qualify? The U. S. Department of Education uses a standard formula to evaluate the financial information you provide when you apply. You apply with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The formula produces an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number that is based on your family's financial situation -- your Student Aid Report (SAR) contains this number. This number will determine if you're eligible for a Pell Grant and how much you can receive."

The fact is that you spent your own money on tution and now you are getting financial aid awarded means that you are getting the money you spent on school back and that is a good thing (the following has happened to me a few semesters ago when I thought it appropriate to pay for college out of pocket when I could of had finanical aid). This is technically a refund on tution money you already paid. But this might be a check for excess funds, meaning that your tuiton/fees was already paid for with grant funds and this is money left over. By the way any money left over from pell grant is yours to keep as you made a desision in going to a college that is inexpensive.

"title": "http://pellgranteligibility.net/\nDetermining Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant Program",
"text": "Determining Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant Program Written by Michael Bennet | Filed under: Pell Grant Eligibility Criteria To determine your Pell Grant eligibility you must keep in mind the primary reason why the Pell Grant was instituted in the first place—to give students that couldn’t otherwise afford college the financial aid they need to get a higher education. The federal Pell Grant eligibility criteria therefore falls in line primarily in accordance with this purpose, and it is your financial need for aid that will be weighed the most heavily during this process. There are still other requirements that you must take into consideration if you want to establish your federal Pell Grant eligibility, and these boil down to Pell Grant specific, and general federal student aid criteria. This essentially means that there are a variety of qualitative items that you must satisfy in order to become eligible for the Pell Grant, with two of these being specific only to the federal Pell Grant, and the rest having to do with all types of federal student aid. Once you have satisfied this list of Pell Grant requirements in accordance with demonstrating the appropriate level of financial need, the final Pell Grant amount you may then be able to receive will be calculated with regard to your EFC, cost of attendance, and enrollment status. Your school’s financial aid department will make the final determination of the exact award amount you are able to get for that academic year, and they may be able to adjust the standard amount that you were supposed to receive if you are able to show them that you have recently experienced what are considered to be “unusual circumstances”. Financial Need, Cost of Attendance, and EFCBecause your Pell Grant eligibility is so heavily reliant on your ability to demonstrate an exceptional financial need, it is first important to define what that means exactly. Financial need is ultimately a product of the following equation: Financial Need = Cost of Attendance (Co A) – Expected Family Contribution (EFC)The greater the disparity is between the cost of attending your particular institution and the money your family has to put towards your college education, the higher your financial need will be in the eyes of the Department of Education. Cost of attendance, or Co A, is simply the standardized amount that is supposed to represent the entire cost of going to your college for a full academic year. Expected family contribution, or EFC, is an indicator of the amount of money your family is able to contribute towards the cost of your higher education, and it is calculated once you have successfully submitted the FAFSA."

"text": "\"Harvard Got $5.6M in Federal Student Loans and Grants--Despite Its $31.7B Tax-Exempt Endowment By Terence P. Jeffrey | April 30, 2012 | 4:52 PM EDTHarvard University (AP Photo/Lisa Poole) (CNSNews.com) - In fiscal year 2011, Harvard University’s tax-exempt endowment jumped in value by about $4.17 billion, rising from $27,557,404,000 to $31,728,080,000--but that did not stop Harvard from collecting tuition and fees derived from federal grants and student loans that U. S. taxpayers provided to Harvard undergraduates. Other universities with major endowments--including Yale and Princeton (from which the author of this article graduated)--also saw massive increases in their endowments and they also benefited from their students paying tuition and fees with federal grants and loans. In the 2009-2010 school year, according to the U. S. Department of Education, Harvard undergraduates received $4,093,140 in federal Pell Grants and $1,467,017 in federal student loans. This total of $5,560,157 in grants and loans that federal taxpayers provided to Harvard undergraduates in the 2009-2010 school year equaled only about 0.13 percent of the $4.17 billion that Harvard’s endowment increased last year. Had Harvard settled for an increase in its endowment of only $4,165,115,843--instead of $4,170,676,000--it could have covered the entire cost of all the federal loans and grants that the taxpayers provided to its students in the 2009-2010 school year. In that case, Harvard’s endowment would have increased from $27,557,404,000 to only $31,722,519,843—instead of the full $31,728,080,000 it achieved. The full cost for tuition, fees and other expenses for an undergraduate at Harvard was $53,950 in the 2010-2011 school year, according to the Department of Education.

"text": "African Penguin - Spheniscus demersus Tweet The African penguin, or black-footed penguin, is also nicknamed the “jackass penguin” because its mating call sounds like a braying donkey. “Where I live”This species of penguin lives along the rocky coastline of southwest Africa, in the countries of South Africa and Namibia. It is found nowhere else in the world. Its range is restricted to a relatively small area where water temperature doesn’t fluctuate much. Like all penguin species, the African penguin lives in the Southern Hemisphere. It also lives in a temperate climate, as do most species of penguin. Only a few species live as far south as Antarctica in an extremely cold climate. At The Maryland Zoo, African penguins can be seen at the new Penguin Coast exhibit in the African Journey exhibit. This species is also featured in the Zoo’s Animal Embassy collection as an Animal Ambassador. “How I live there”African penguins live in large colonies."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature30 Basic Bird Groups Share Flipboard Email Print Oscar Wong / Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated December 07, 2017The earth is home to over 10,000 species of birds, scattered across a wide range of habitats—wetlands, woodlands, mountains, deserts, tundra, shorelines, and even the open sea. While experts differ on the fine details about how birds should be classified, on the following slides, you'll discover the 30 bird groups that pretty much everyone agrees on—ranging from albatrosses and petrels to toucans and woodpeckers.01of 30Albatrosses and Petrels (Order Procellariiformes)Getty Images Birds in the order Procellariiformes, also known as tubenoses, include diving petrels, gadfly petrels, albatrosses, shearwaters, fulmars and prions, about 100 living species in all. These birds spend most of their time at sea, gliding over the open water and dipping down to snatch meals of fish, plankton, and other small marine animals. Tubenoses are colonial birds, returning to land only to breed (breeding sites vary among species, but in general, these birds prefer remote islands and rugged coastal cliffs), and they are monogamous, forming long-term bonds between mating pairs. A unifying anatomical characteristic of albatrosses and petrels is their nostrils, which are enclosed in external tubes that run from the base of their bill towards its tip. Amazingly enough, these birds can drink seawater: they remove salt from the water using a special gland located at the base of their bills, after which the excess salt is excreted out through their tubular nostrils. The largest tubenose species is the wandering albatross, the wingspan of which can reach 12 feet. The smallest is the least storm petrel, with a wingspan of just over one foot.02of 30Birds of Prey (Order Falconiformes)Getty Images The Falconiformes, or birds of prey, include eagles, hawks, kites, secretary birds, ospreys, falcons and old world vultures, about 300 species in all. Also known as raptors (but not all that closely related to the raptor dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era), birds of prey are formidable predators, armed with powerful talons, hooked bills, acute eyesight, and broad wings well-suited for soaring and diving. Raptors hunt by day, feeding on fish, small mammals, reptiles, other birds, and abandoned carrion."

Instead of breeding in the warmer summer months like other penguin species, Emperor Penguins lay and incubate their eggs during the coldest time of year in the coldest place on Earth. Emperor Penguins are flightless birds that have small, stiff wings that help them to fly through the water, rather than through the air. Despite having been first recorded by Captain Cook on his second voyage in the late 1700s, the first Emperor Penguin colony wasn't discovered until 1902 with their extreme southerly-dwelling nature leading to new colonies still being recorded as late as 1986. Due to the fact that Emperor Penguins breed on the ice, they are thought to be one of the only species of bird that could spend their whole life without actually walking on land. Emperor Penguin Anatomy and Appearance The Emperor Penguin is a large bird that stands up to more than a meter in height. Their feathers vary in colour from black on the back to white on the front with a yellow patch towards the neck. The black and white colouration is thought to be particularly important for camouflaging the Emperor Penguin from predators whilst in the ocean. They also have yellow ear-spots and a orange-yellow strip that runs the length of their black beak, which is relatively small in size to retain heat. Their black, clawed feet are also webbed to help them when swimming but provide little assistance when walking about on land (instead Emperor Penguins slide along on their belly)."

The yellow-eyed penguin is found off the coast of the south island of New Zealand where this species gathers in colonies along the beaches and boulder fields. The yellow-eyed penguin is also found on a few of the islands of the main island including Stewart, Auckland and the Campbell Islands. The yellow-eyed penguin generally searches for food up 10 miles offshore, and travels (on average) around 15 miles away from the colonies nesting site. The yellow-eyed penguin leaves the colony at dawn and returns the same evening during chick rearing, although may spend 2�3 days at sea at other times. The yellow-eyed penguin is one of the larger species of penguin with adult individuals reaching 75cm in height, with the males generally being slightly larger than the female yellow-eyed penguins. The yellow-eyed penguin was thought to have been closely related to the tiny little penguin found in a similar area, although recent research suggests that the two are actually fairly genetically different. The yellow-eyed penguin is a carnivorous animal, that like all other penguin species, survives on a diet that is only comprised of marine animals. Krill and small crustaceans make up the bulk of the yellow-eyed penguin's diet along with larger organisms including squid and various species of fish. The yellow-eyed penguin is usually found nesting in the forests and scrub that line the New Zealand coast and although historically undisturbed, the yellow-eyed penguin now has a number of land-dwelling predators including cats, dogs and foxes along with rats and weasels that hunt their eggs."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Urban wildlife: a squirrel in Montreal scavenging for food in a garbage canblue tongue lizard in suburban street in Canberra (4 inch storm water pipe in photo shows size)Urban wildlife is wildlife that can live or thrive in urban environments. Some urban wildlife, such as house mice, are synanthropic, ecologically associated with humans. Some species or populations may become entirely dependent on humans. For instance, the range of many synanthropic species is expanded to latitudes at which they could not survive the winter outside of human settlements. Other species simply tolerate cohabiting with humans and using the remaining green spaces, in some cases gradually becoming more accustomed to the new habitat over time and eventually synanthropic. These species represent a minority of the creatures that would normally inhabit an area. For example, a 2014 compilation of studies found that only 8% of native bird and 25% of native plant species were present in urban areas compared with estimates of non-urban density of species. [ 1]Urban wildlife can be found at any latitude that supports human dwellings - the list of animals that will search human trash within settlements runs from tropical monkeys to polar bears in the Arctic. Different types of urban areas support different kinds of wildlife. One general feature of bird species that adapt well to urban environments is they tend to be the species with bigger brains, perhaps allowing them to be more adaptable to the changeable urban environment.

"text": "\"Advertisement1Pennsylvania's fewer native brook trout signals clean water and healthy land Ben Moyer Ben Moyer Special to the Post-Gazette Mar 31, 2013 1:00 AMAs Alaska has its salmon and Florida its bonefish and tarpon, Pennsylvania has its brook trout. Proclaimed the most beautiful of freshwater fish, the brook trout is Pennsylvania's official state fish. Only the region west of the Allegheny River watershed lacked brook trout when George Washington journeyed around what is now Western Pennsylvania. Excluding lake trout in Lake Erie, brook trout are the only trout native to Pennsylvania. Today, most brook trout caught by anglers -- as well as non-native brown and rainbow trout -- are hatchery raised and stocked. But wild brook trout still exist in Pennsylvania, which represents an important keystone in this trout's larger range, anchoring isolated populations in the southern Appalachians to the species' vast territory across New England and Canada. Still, trout-savvy anglers know that Pennsylvania's brook trout, which cannot thrive without clean, cold water, are a shadow of those that once graced state streams, both in extent and in the size of individual fish. Logging, agriculture, urbanization and mining so degraded streams that the species made a last stand in remote headwaters where food is scarce and predation from mink and fish-eating birds is fierce. Wild brook trout seldom exceed 10 inches. Brook trout take on new importance within modern attitudes toward conservation, which emphasize native species."

The ice, and its continued existence, is crucial to the survival of the polar bear as a species. Without sea ice, the polar bear is in danger of extinction. Polar Bear Habits Polar bears live in the Arctic in an area known as the circumpolar north, or the North Pole. Their bodies are built to withstand temperature extremes, but they need to keep their bodies and coats in good condition to do so. They live on land, but they hunt in the sea and are strong swimmers. They are migratory animals, and use ice floes to rest between large expanses of sea ice where they do most of their hunting and mating. The polar bear's main diet staple is ringed and bearded seals, which have high concentrations of fat. This fat is necessary for the polar bears to retain their weight and girth so they can survive famine and pregnancy."

But once you see their grace in the water, you know that’s where they’re meant to be – they are well-adapted to life in the ocean. April 25 of each year is World Penguin Day, and to celebrate here are 14 facts about these charismatic seabirds.1. Depending on which scientist you ask, there are 17 – 20 species of penguins alive today, all of which live in the southern half of the globe. The most northerly penguins are Galapagos penguins ( Spheniscus mendiculus ), which occasionally poke their heads north of the equator.2. While they can’t fly through the air with their flippers, many penguin species take to the air when they leap from the water onto the ice. Just before taking flight, they release air bubbles from their feathers. This cuts the drag on their bodies, allowing them to double or triple their swimming speed quickly and launch into the air.3. Most penguins swim underwater at around four to seven miles per hour (mph), but the fastest penguin—the gentoo ( Pygoscelis papua )—can reach top speeds of 22 mph!Gentoo penguins “porpoise” by jumping out of the water. They can move faster through air than water, so will often porpoise to escape from a predator. ("

"text": "Wedding Rings Ethnic and Cultural Differences Weddings Are wedding rings in different cultures worn on different hands?4 Answers Amy Lau Answered Sep 14, 2013 Here's the answer I found on wikipedia (Ring Finger): In some Orthodox Christian, Roman Catholic and Protestant countries such as Russia, Greece, Georgia, Poland, Austria, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia and India, the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand. In other countries, such as Finland, France, Portugal, Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Canada, the USA and the UK, it is generally worn on the ring finger of the left hand, although right hand wearing is becoming more common. In Brazil, the ring is worn on the right hand until the actual wedding day, when it's exchanged to the left hand. The ring is more noticeable on the right hand due to the traditional shaking of right hands in greeting. Several traditions exist in traditional Jewish wedding ceremonies: most commonly today, the ring is placed on the index finger; but other traditions record placing it on the middle finger or the t humb. Today the ring usually is moved to the ring finger after the ceremony. Some Jewish grooms have adopted wearing a wedding ring. A wedding ring is not a traditional part of the religious Muslim wedding; wedding rings are not included in most Islamic countries. However, if a wedding ring is worn in an Islamic country, it may be worn on either the left (such is the custom in Iran) or the right ring finger. As opposed to the wedding ring, use of a ring to denote betrothal or engagement is quite prevalent in Muslim countries, especially those in West and South Asia."

Over time, the bearings in the fan can become gummed up from dirt and oil, or dried out and in need of oil. If you try to spin the blades by hand and they don't turn freely, it means the bearings need attention. If the fan wobbles, shakes or moves around while running, one of the blades may be warped, bent or set at an angle that is different from the others. A badly damaged blade should be replaced, but a slightly bent blade might be bent back into balance with the others.

The name is derived from “Bindu”, a Sanskrit word for “point” or “dot” and is usually red in color made with vermillion powder which is worn by women between their eyebrows on the forehead. The origin of the bindi can be found in ancient times but has lost this significance in modern life and is mostly worn all over the world as an accessory.

"text": "\"Your say - Language and identity Dutch is the official language in Belgium Dutch is the official language in Belgium. French-speakers often pejoratively call the Dutch language used by Flemings Flemish but it is Dutch nevertheless. The Flemish tend to use it to refer to the various dialects of Dutch spoken in Flanders. However, perhaps a bit like the Scots of Robbie Burns, the dialects spoken by Flemings can differ enormously from Dutch. Yet, if you read a Flemish newspaper, what you are reading is Dutch not Flemish dialect. This strong relationship with dialect is much weaker in Wallonia and amongst French-speakers in Brussels and also in the Netherlands itself. When Belgium was created in 1831, the favoured language was French, primarily because, since they had just broken free of the Dutch they weren't about to use their language. The Vlaamse Beweging, Flemish movement, - and therefore the use of Dutch - began a couple of decades later. The importance of dialect in Flanders is down to the fact that official business was previously conducted in French. Official Dutch is fairly recent."

"text": "February 18, 2014What’s Wrong with Belgium? Tracey Rowland There is something beautiful about Belgium if one thinks of the Flemish architecture, the canals, the countryside dotted with blue-grey cows that produce the milk that makes the whipped cream (in Flemish Slagroom) for the cafes and patisseries. There are country lanes with bicycles and villages with medieval churches and towns with great works of Christian art. There’s Van Eyck’s Adoration of the Lamb and the venerated relic of Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. However, against all this natural beauty and fine works of art, including the artistic works of the pastry chefs and the lace-makers, there is something deeply sinister about this country. Its Catholic culture has been trashed by a couple of generations of intellectuals at war with their own heritage. I first visited Belgium in 2004 to attend a theology conference in Leuven. The conference Mass was the most bizarre liturgical experience of my life. It did not take place in any of the many churches in Leuven but in the conference room itself. Part of the ritual took the form of watching a video of the September 11 attack on the twin towers while listening to mood music."

Belgium is divided into two distinct regions – Flanders to the north (where Brussels is located) and Wallonia in the south. Just to make it a little more confusing, the Flemish (those in Flanders) speak Dutch (60% of the population), but do not consider themselves Dutch, and the Walloons speak French (30% of the population) but do not consider themselves French. There is also a small region of German-speaking Belgians (about 1%) on the German border. But here’s what makes it easier: most of the Dutch-speaking Flemish people speak French as a second language.

The Belgians respect the Dutch but don't appreciate them. In a lot of clichés and stereotypes you can find these sentiments.

When you ask the Belgians about good things about the Netherlands you'll likely hear things such as how well organized, well planned and well governed the country is, the Delta Works, that doing business there is more straightforward, that the people take much more initiative and are open-minded, ....

When you ask the Belgians about bad things about the Netherlands you'll likely hear things such as the arrogance, the ignorance about Belgium, the loud and harsh language, the fact that everyone at all times gives their opinion no matter if it's appropriate or not, the Spartan cuisine, the - often considered fake - political correctness, the fact that no matter where you are on this globe your peace of mind will always be disturbed by some Dutch (often in a camper)...

History [ edit]Belgium is the heir of several former Medieval powers, previously named Belgae (or Belgica reference to the Roman Empire period), and you will see traces of these everywhere during your trip in this country. After the collapse of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century, the territory that is nowadays Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg, was part of Lotharingia, an ephemeral kingdom soon to be absorbed into the Germanic Empire; however, the special character of \"\"Lower Lotharingia\"\" remained intact in the feudal Empire: this is the origin of the Low Countries, a general term that encompasses present-day Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The widely autonomous fiefdoms of the Low Countries were amongst the richest places in Medieval Europe and you will see traces of this past wealth in the rich buildings of Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven, Tournai, Mons, etc."

Share Tweet I always thought hell would freeze over before a continental European city would consider making English an official language. It seems I was wrong. Last month, Belgian politician Pascal Smet suggested that it was time Brussels formally accepted English as a language of government, education, and everyday life. Smet, who serves as Minister for Education in Flanders, a region that 60 percent of Belgium's population calls home, insists that adopting English as the metropolitan region's third official language (after French and Dutch) is a vital step if Brussels is to become a truly international city. While the plan is as yet more of an aspiration than proposed legislation, even suggesting it is a huge step. And with this step follows an even thornier question: Is Brussels acting as an early warning system for an upcoming trans-European shift toward English? Not necessarily. Brussels is a special case, a city where language is probably more politicized than anywhere else in Europe. It lies, after all, at the heart of a country divided sharply along linguistic lines."

Read the aformentioned article in order to find out. Hastings Banda Politician Hastings Kamuzu Banda was the leader of Malawi and its predecessor state, Nyasaland, from 1961 to 1994. After receiving much of his education overseas, Banda returned to his home country to speak against colonialism and advocate for independence. In 1963, he was formally appointed as Nyasaland’s prime minister and led the country to independence as Malawi a year later. Two years later, he proclaimed Malawi a republic with himself as president. He consolidated power and later declared Malawi a one-party state under the Malawi Congress Party. In 1970, the MCP made him the party’s President for Life. In 1971, he became President for Life of Malawi itself."

Land was held in trust for all the people forming the community. West uses the word \"\"cognatic ownership\"\" and justifies that by explaining that \"\"the land belongs corporately to cognates who are persons claiming descent from a common ancestor\"\" (West 1976). For the purposes of this paper, however, the term \"\"customary\"\" will be used. Although there are different tribes in Malawi, which means that customs vary from one region to another, only the general pattern will be discussed for the purposes of this paper. As stated above, land was held by the community before the Europeans came. The duty to allocate land fell upon the leader of the community. The leader allocated the land to the head of a family who, in turn, allocated it to individual family members. Land was inheritable."

During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. Britain tried to administer Northern Rhodesia in a federation with Nysaland (Malawi) and Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) however this was opposed by Northern Rhodesian which was concerned that the majority of the investment and money would flow to the south. During this period to help build the economy the British built the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River creating Lake Kariba, one of Africa's largest lakes and providing hydro electric power for the area. The British granted self rule to their colonies in the period after the Second World War and after abandoning the federation idea Northern Rhodesia transferred to self government. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices, one party democracy under Kenneth Kaunda and a prolonged drought hurt the economy."

"text": "\"How Many Homosexuals Are There in the World? In December of 2009, Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, citizens of the African country of Malawi, became engaged to be married and when they celebrated this decision, the men were promptly arrested, charged with gross indecency and unnatural acts, and sentenced to fourteen years in prison. International outrage followed, and after a visit from Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations, last May, Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika unwillingly pardoned the pair, commenting as he did so, \"\"In all aspects of reasoning, in all aspects of human understanding, these two gay boys were wrong—totally wrong.” This is all of a piece with the rampant homophobia currently sweeping Africa, outrageously fanned and financed by American religious fanatics, who, having lost this battle back home, have found a new outlet for their hatred. With the applause and support of these American groups, Uganda is about to institute the death penalty for homosexuality. Sodomy is a crime, though not a capital one, in most African countries. Even where it’s legal, as in South Africa, homosexuality is culturally unacceptable to the vast majority of citizens, being equated with demonic possession. South Africa is currently battling an epidemic of “corrective rape,” in which lesbians (including famous local sports figures) are raped, often gang raped, to show them the superiority of heterosex, and thus turn them into “real” women. In much of Africa homosexuality is conclusively believed to be a Western product, outrageously exported into African countries that were free of it before this imperialistic cultural plague spread across the land. That this ignores the clear history of each African country claiming this nonsense, all of which had dealt with homosexual conduct (often, but not always, brutally) long before the white race returned to Africa, is either unknown or undiscussed."

"text": "Destinations Africa & Middle East A Guide to African Languages Listed by Country By Anouk Zijlma Updated 07/19/17Share Pin Email•••Even for a continent with 54 very different countries, Africa has a lot of languages. It is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 languages are spoken here, many with their own set of varying dialects. To make things even more confusing, in many countries the official language is not the same as the lingua franca - that is, the language spoken by the majority of its citizens. If you're planning a trip to Africa, it's a good idea to research both the official language and the lingua franca of the country or region you're traveling to. In this way, you can attempt to learn a few key words or phrases before you go. This can be difficult - especially when a language isn't written phonetically (like Afrikaans), or includes click consonants (like Xhosa) - but making the effort will be greatly appreciated by the people that you meet on your travels. If you're traveling to an ex-colony (like Mozambique, Namibia or Senegal), you'll find that European languages can also come in handy - although be prepared for the Portuguese, German or French that you hear there to sound quite different than it would in Europe. In this article, we look at the official and most widely spoken languages for some of Africa's top travel destinations, arranged in alphabetical order. Algeria Official Languages: Modern Standard Arabic and Tamazight (Berber)The most widely spoken languages in Algeria are Algerian Arabic and Berber. Angola Official Language: Portuguese Portuguese is spoken as a first or second language by just over 70% of the population."

"text": "April 4, 2018The Great Lakes of East Africaby Marc Elieson This article has the purpose of introducing you to the three great lakes of east Africa: Lakes Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika. These three lakes are in eastern Africa, nestled in and around what is known as Africa’s Great Rift Valley. This depression extends for more than 3,000 miles, beginning in Syria and traveling through southwestern Asia before it enters into southeastern Africa. This valley is anywhere from 18 to 60 miles wide, and ranges in elevation from 1,300 feet below sea level to 6,000 feet. This valley contains some of Africa’s most spectacular scenery, being flanked by volcanoes and mountains, including Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, at 19,340 feet. The Great Rift Valley was formed some 25 million years as Africa and Eurasia collided, which caused the earth’s crust in eastern Africa to drop while the two recoiling twin faults pulled apart. The effect has been likened to the keystone of an arch dropping as the side pillars collapse. In eastern Africa the valley separates into two branches: the Eastern Rift and the Western Rift. The Eastern Rift, or main section of the valley, cuts across Ethiopia and then south across Kenya, Tanzania, and Malawi to Mozambique. Lake Malawi lies in the Eastern Rift branch."

Personally I wasn’t surprised because that’s the way it is supposed to be according to how Malawi’s current reality. Many people in the country received it as a bad news and some were surprised. The story of Malawi is very sad indeed, yes we are a peaceful country. We rejoice that we have never faced a civil war. We rejoice that we live in peace and harmony, but our people are still living on less than a dollar a day. Our people still cannot access good medical attention. Our graduates are still in the streets hunting for jobs. Every year the citizens of Malawi wait for the government to provide different subsidies."

"text": "Volume 20In Real Life: Federal Restrictions on Abortion Coverage and the Women They Impact Megan K. Donovan, Guttmacher Institute First published online: January 5, 2017HIGHLIGHTSThe Hyde Amendment severely restricts abortion coverage for people insured by Medicaid or Medicare. Similar restrictions affect millions of women who obtain their health coverage or care from the federal government, including federal employees, military personnel and veterans, Native Americans, federal prisoners and detainees, Peace Corps volunteers and low-income residents of the District of Columbia. The EACH Woman Act would restore abortion coverage and access to care to individuals employed, insured, or otherwise provided coverage or care by the federal government. With an antiabortion administration and Congress entering office, supporters of abortion rights are readying for new attempts to roll back access to safe and legal abortion care, and must continue to center the experiences of low-income women, women of color and all those affected by abortion coverage bans. September 30, 2016 marked a grim 40th anniversary for abortion access in the United States: On that day in 1976, Congress first passed the Hyde Amendment (named for the late Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois). Proposed as a response to Roe v. Wade, the Hyde Amendment is most known for its devastating impact on millions of low-income women and families because it essentially bars federal abortion coverage through the Medicaid program. But the impact of the Hyde Amendment is not limited to Medicaid enrollees; it also restricts abortion coverage for women insured through Medicare and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). In addition, Congress and the executive branch have used the Hyde Amendment as a model to further limit access to abortion by creating analogous restrictions for people who obtain their health care or coverage through the federal government in other ways. This includes: federal employees and their dependents; military personnel and their dependents; veterans; Peace Corps volunteers; American Indians and Alaska Natives; people held in federal prisons or detention centers; and low-income women in the District of Columbia (see chart). The Hyde Amendment and many (though not all) of these restrictions are built into annual spending bills, which must be renewed by Congress each year."

"text": "\"Flag What is the purpose of the peace corp? Answer by Richard Sitler Confidence votes 10The Peace Corps' mission has three simple goals: Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. As a returned volunteer and someone who has documented volunteers in 22 countries around the world it is my opinion that the way the Peace Corps \"\"helps\"\" is by bringing together people. People look at Peace Corps as a big agency, and they look for results as if Peace Corps volunteers were going into countries en masse and doing large development projects. That is not how Peace Corps works. Once Peace Corps volunteers get through training they are then placed on their own with an agency of the country where they serve and they live amongst the people they serve, so that they become integrated into the culture and work at the grass roots. Because of this Peace Corps volunteers develop a greater understanding of where they serve, and the people they serve learn about our country through the Peace Corps volunteer. So, it is this exchange ... a development of understanding between different people, that is how Peace Corps helps."

Kennedy had not been in office fifteen minutes when he did something no other president had ever done: he asked Americans, in peacetime, to volunteer to serve their country for purely idealistic reasons. “ Ask not what your country can do for you,” Kennedy challenged in his Inaugural Address, “Ask what you can do for your country.” These words, when first heard 50 years ago, were positively electrifying. No president had ever summoned citizens, in peacetime, to sacrifice or commit to a larger vision. With that single sentence, Kennedy inspired people to new possibilities. Chief among them, was his creation, as soon as possible, of a Peace Corps – calling, as it did, upon Americans to fan out across the globe to live alongside the people of the Third World and bring them, without regard to ideology or propaganda, vitally needed skills in health care, agriculture and education. Young people, in particular, excitedly took up the challenge: thousands signed up to join. But if many were called, few would be chosen. First they had to take, and pass, a grueling 5 ½ hour written exam… Here the new President welcomes the 3,540 Americans who, on May 27th, 1961, in 340 cities across the nation, hunkered down to answer arduous questions designed to test their knowledge of English, foreign languages, American history and institutions, farming, health, and mechanical skills. They would be asked everything from what was the chief danger of a cut from a rusty nail (was it trachoma, hydrophobia, meningitis, encephalitis or, correctly, tetanus) - to whether the relationship stated in the phrase “scales: justice” was more precise than “tray: waiter” (it was)."

It truly reminds me of what I see in lesser developed countries then the US, where people come together to build housing for each other. Big Brothers and Sisters - This program paired mentors, but also brought young children to our university, where we helped inspire them to achieve their academic goals HIV AIDS Education - When ever there is a march of demonstration I am out to help educate people on the realities of HIV transmission and to support the positive community, esp. the gay community, who suffers terribly from discrimination. University Disciplinary Committee - When I was at University I was one of 7 students who sat on the committee, when someone was accused of violating the school's code of conduct we overheard the cases and reached a judgment and if needed penalty for the students. I was able to remove a rapist from the campus and protect the image of our student body.

Copied Select a Section 1 /0In recent months, the major foreign policy issue of the 2000 presidential election campaign has been military readiness, with Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush each addressing the subject. Governor Bush has accused the Clinton Administration of military neglect, referring to the U. S. armed forces as \"\"a military in decline.\"\" 1 Vice President Gore, on the other hand, has countered that \"\"Our military is the strongest and the best in the entire world.\"\" 2While there are clear signs that readiness is a problem for the U. S. military, Al Gore is factually correct when he contends that the U. S. armed forces stand far above any other military force. He is missing a more important point, however. The United States, as the most powerful nation in the world, has responsibilities and national security concerns far beyond those of any other nation. U. S. military readiness cannot be gauged by comparing America's armed forces with other nations' militaries. Instead, the capability of U. S. forces to support America's national security requirements should be the measure of U. S. military readiness. Such a standard is necessary because America may confront threats from many different nations at once."

She then went on the publish a book for kids and founded her own company, the Jemison Group. Becoming an astronaut was, as Marilyn Marshall noted in Ebony, a “ natural progression ” for Jemison. As a young girl and teenager she was always interested in science, especially astronomy, and was encouraged by her parents and teachers to pursue not only her science studies, but also dance and art. She earned a double degree at Stanford University — in chemical engineering and Afro-American studies — and then studied medicine at Cornell University. While at Cornell she traveled to Thailand and Kenya to provide primary medical care services. After completing her medical internship Jemison joined the Peace Corps and worked as a staff physician in West Africa. “ I took care of Peace Corps volunteers and State Department personnel in Sierra Leone and I oversaw the medical health care program for volunteers in Liberia, ” Jemison explained to an Ebony contributor. Jemison was working as a general practitioner in Los Angeles when she first applied to the space program, in October of 1985 — three months before the space shuttle Challenger accident that killed seven astronauts."

In the West, people identify seven main generations, each with a set of characteristics that differentiates it from both the generation that precedes it and succeeds it. Recently, the public hears mainly about three generations that define modern times: the Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials, also called Generation Y. But, is it true that each generation is marked by a specific cultural identity? For example, did Baby Boomers, who were born after World War II and lived through the Vietnam War, really want to change the world? Are Gen X-ers, who are now approaching their 40s, more individualistic and materialistic --essentially the Gordon Gekko’s of the world? And, are Millennials reverting back to more liberal values as they embrace a more globalized world with its accompanying issues like same-sex marriage and the environment? WPR host Kathleen Dunn asked a representative of each generation to join in an inter-generational conversation to explore these questions. The Boomers Judy Reed is an early Baby Boomer, a returning Peace Corps volunteer who served as a teacher in a small village in Liberia from 1964 to 1966. She said she joined the Peace Corps because she had been very impressed with President John F. Kennedy. “I signed up somewhat to the chagrin of my parents who were worried about my future and my health,” said Reed. “"

Well, many of our fellow volunteers are indeed in their 20s, and most of them are smart, enthusiastic and fun to be around. Yet Champa and I are hardly outliers. Fourteen of the 58 people in our training group — nearly one in four — are 50 or older.

Where can you start? In increasing numbers, young adults are expressing a desire to “make a difference” in a world that is torn by disease, poverty, terror and the ravages of war. An article in The Washington Times noted that among teens and young adults, volunteerism and a desire to serve by helping others in the community and the world is at its highest level in more than 50 years (“Youth Volunteerism at 50 Year High, Study Finds,” Nov. 20, 2002). Chances are that you may also have a desire to do your part to bring desperately needed humanitarian aid to a strife-torn world. A world in need In recent travels to West Africa, I came to see just how much in need so many people are in this part of the world. Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than die in the continuing bloody conflicts that plague many countries in the region. This is just one example of a world where human suffering is rampant. While the global economy has grown sevenfold since 1950, the disparity in per capita income between the 20 richest and 20 poorest nations has more than doubled between 1960 and 1995.

These include: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, paranoia, and self-harm. Nurses in this area receive specific training in psychological therapies, building a therapeutic alliance, dealing with challenging behaviour, and the administration of psychiatric medication. In most countries, a psychiatric nurse will have to attain a bachelor's degree in nursing to become a Registered Nurse (RN), and specialise in mental health. Degrees vary in different countries, and are governed by country-specific regulations. Mental health nurses can work in a variety of services, including: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), Acute Medical Units (AMUs), Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs), and Community Mental Health Services (CMHS).

"text": "For those who are thinking of becoming a psych nurse, there are a few different paths to take. First, with a one-year training program, you can become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Another option is to obtain a two or four-year degree in nursing, which will allow you to become a registered nurse (RN). Lastly, a master’s degree or doctorate in nursing with a specialization in psychiatry will allow you to become a mental health nurse practitioner. Although working as a psych nurse can be a challenge and is not for everyone, a majority of those who become mental health nurses find their jobs extremely rewarding. Those who enjoy helping people in need and making a profound difference in their lives are good candidates for a career in mental health nursing. Some of the benefits of a career as a psychiatric nurse include the following: Reward of Helping Others Even though it doesn’t occur often, one of the big challenges associated with being a psych nurse is dealing with extremely difficult or possibly even violent patients. Although this is a big challenge, the training that mental health nurses receive prepares them to deal with difficult behavior from patients. Once you know how to deal with difficult patients, getting through to them and helping them achieve a better quality of life is a great reward. All in all, your patients will be fairly cooperative people who are simply in need of a caring person to help them through their difficult times."

CNAs often work in a wide variety of settings; nursing homes, hospitals, adult day care centers, personal homes and assisted living facilities all require nursing assistants to act as a helpful liaison between the RN or LPN and the patient. In many cases, CNAs serve as the RN’s or LPN’s eyes and ears, and relays information between many patients and nurses. Nursing assistants fulfill basic quality-of-life needs for patients of any age in residential nursing care facilities or outpatient clinics.

A reader asked us just what being a psychiatric physician assistant is like, and this article aims to answer this question. Psychiatry is the medical specialty of mental health, also known as behavioral health. In this physician assistant specialty, you will treat people with mental disorders. The list of disorders is long, and includes depression, anxiety, and insomnia, drug abuse/addition, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic depression), schizophrenia, and many others. Psychiatry used to rely on psychotherapy –talk therapy–but today it rarely does. Changes in the insurance industry forced most psychiatrists to abandon the weekly hours of “talking cure” as treatment, and to concentrate almost entirely on prescribing psychiatric medications. Today, psychotherapy is mostly done by psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and social workers. What Psychiatric Physician Assistants Do The days of Freud's psychotherapy \"\"talking cure\"\" are pretty much over. As usual, in this physician assistant specialty you will do much the same work of your supervising physician, including: Assessing patients by carefully interviewing them, their family, and others who know them."

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. But it also creates another set of problems. If you tried to memorize every single possible thing you can for your ANCC exam, the field of possible things to review would be so huge that you could not hope to cover everything in a reasonable time."

( You also asked the same question about Connecticut inmates housed at the Wallens Ridge facility in Virginia. Although there were prisoners there when you made this request, they have since been removed, and we have not included Wallens Ridge in this report. ) SUMMARYState and federal laws and constitutions mandate that the Department of Correction (DOC) provide mental health services to inmates who have been identified as needing them. Under a $70 million contract with the University of Connecticut Medical Center, approximately 650 full-time-equivalent mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and counselors treat inmates at state correctional facilities. Services include psychiatric assessments; individual and group therapy; medication administration and monitoring; crisis intervention; and specialized treatment programs for sex offenders, people with dual diagnoses (i.e., mental health and substance abuse problems), and those with a history of self-mutilation. Dr. Brett Rayford, Psy. D. of DOC ' s Health Services Division reports that mental health services are offered at each DOC facility (although some offer more than others) and there are no waiting lists, except for those needing substance abuse treatment. Intake workers screen people entering the DOC system to determine whether they are suicidal or require mental health services before releasing them into the general prison or jail population. Rayford indicated that the mental health screening process at jails (which house people awaiting trial and some serving sentences of two years or less) is probably less thorough than that done at DOC ' s Walker Reception Center (the intake center to which people beginning their prison terms are sent)."

In this reflection, I am going to use Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle. This model is a recognised framework for my reflection. Gibbs (1988) consists of six stages to complete one cycle which is able to improve my nursing practice continuously and learning from the experience for better practice in the future. The cycle starts with a description of the situation, next is to analysis of the feelings, third is an evaluation of the experience, fourth stage is an analysis to make sense of the experience, fifth stage is a conclusion of what else could I have done and final stage is an action plan to prepare if the situation arose again (NHS, 2006). Baird and Winter (2005, p.156) give some reasons why reflection is require in the reflective practice. They state that a reflect is to generate the practice knowledge, assist an ability to adapt new situations, develop self-esteem and satisfaction as well as to value, develop and professionalizing practice. However, Siviter (2004, p.165) explain that reflection is about gaining self-confidence, identify when to improve, learning from own mistakes and behaviour, looking at other people perspectives, being self-aware and improving the future by learning the past. In my context with the patient, it is important for me to improve the therapeutic relationship which is the nurse-patient relationship. In the therapeutic relationship, there is the therapeutic rapport establish from a sense of trust and a mutual understanding exists between a nurse and a patient that build in a special1 link of the relationship (Harkreader and Hogan, 2004, p.243).

Part 2: Finding Affordable Psychotherapy Genine Babakian December 23, 2013Filed Under: Costs, Health reform, Mental Health SUMMARY: Paying for mental health care is difficult for many. Even for those who are insured, restrictions on mental health coverage require many Americans to pay quite a lot out of pocket. For the more than 30 million U. S. adults who do not receive the mental health services they need, 45 percent cite cost as a barrier to mental health care. According to a survey looking at treatment received between 2005 and 2009, a quarter of the 15.7 million Americans who received mental health care listed themselves as the main payer for the services, paying between $100 and $5,000. Yet for those who are persistent and direct about stating what they can pay, there are ways of finding more affordable treatment. Second in our 6-part series on mental health Millions of Americans experience anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or other mental and behavior health ills; for them, mental health care is not optional. Yet for the millions of Americans who have to pay out of pocket for mental health treatment, cost is a barrier to getting the service they need. The math: The NIH states that 26% of the adult population of 240 million experience mental health problems. That means about 60 million U. S. adults experience problems, of whom 60%, or 36 million, do not receive treatment."

"text": "\"Quora User, another Irish native Updated Nov 1, 2015 · Author has 1.5k answers and 2m answer views Because that's what we've done for at least 7+ generations on average (or many centuries longer/ 20+ generations in the east and north), as the maps below make clear. English was the primary language in the east of Ireland well before Columbus arrived in North America. Pictures below. WP: History of the Irish language: 19th century notes it became a minority language during the 1800s due to the following factors: A combination of the introduction of a primary education system (the 'National Schools'), in which Irish was prohibited until 1871 and only English taught by order of the British government, and the Famine (1845-1852) which hit a disportionately high number of Irish speakers (who lived in the poorer areas heavily hit by famine deaths and emigration ), hastened its rapid decline. Irish political leaders, such as Daniel O'Connell, too were critical of the language, seeing it as 'backward', with English the language of the future. The National Schools run by the Roman Catholic Church discouraged its useuntil about 1890. This was because most economic opportunity for most Irish people [i.e. by emigration] arose at that time within the US and the British Empire, which both used English. Consider that the Famine radically reduced the population from 8.6m in the 1840s to only 5.8m in 1862; 1m died and 1m emigrated between 1845-1852, and a further 1m emigrated in subsequent decades; see graph [3] at bottom. But that 3m was by no means evenly distributed - it never occurred to me until you asked this but the language demographics would have changed disproportionately very sharply in the southwest, west and northwest between 1845-1870; whereas the north, midlands and east coast were not affected that much, and in any case had been speaking English since the 16th century, and any famine refugees who survived by moving there in the 1850s would stop speaking Irish too. Historically speaking, these are ultimate consequences of the 16th/17th-century Plantations of Ireland, and driving the original inhabitants\"\"to hell or to Connaught\"\" [attributed to Cromwell]. Irish is still one of the two official languages in the Irish Constitution, but that's strictly for cultural identity rather than functional reasons."

According to the national charity Alcohol Action Ireland, Ireland is one of 26 nations in the European Union with the highest alcohol consumption rates per capita. In fact, the Irish drink about 20% more than the average European. In addition to total consumption of alcohol, Irish drinkers also cross the line from casual drinkers to problem drinkers. It is estimated that over half of all Irish drinkers are problem drinkers. If 80% of the total adult population of 3.2 million people drink, that means that around 1.3 million Irish people have a drinking problem. Researchers further break down the demographics like this: 40% of female drinkers and 70% of male drinkers have a harmful patterns of drinking. And the cost of alcohol problems is enormous in Ireland. Alcohol-related costs in Ireland are estimate at 3.7 billion Euro a year, including health, missed work and crime, about 3,318 Euros per taxpayer."

Near the village, standing almost 90 feet in height, is the solidly built castle of Blarney. Cormac Mac Carthy erected the present castle, the third constructed at the site, in 1446. Built on a rock, above several caves, the tower originally had three storeys. On the top storey, just below the battlements on the parapet, is the world famous Blarney Stone, said to give the gift of eloquence to all who kiss it.

Each word is a reflection of the people who created it, the community or culture from which it came, and in its purest form, a message that someone wanted to share with another person. That’s why translating words from one language into another is so challenging. Transferring the essence of word from one culture to another is very difficult. Translators use various techniques to get the meaning across by focusing on the message, not the words. To celebrate the beauty and complexity of words, and to highlight the importance of translation, Smartling is proud to present 50 of the most beautiful words in the Irish language. Irish (also known to people outside of Ireland as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic) is spoken by about 1.6 million people with varying degrees of fluency. Usage of the language has been in decline, but Irish was spoken quite widely in fairly recent memory. For example, there were nearly half a million people speaking Irish in the United States in the 1890s.

The most notable accents in Ireland are the North Dublin Accent, the South Dublin Accent, the Midland Accent, the Western accent, the Northern Ireland Accent and the Cork Accent. Note: There's no way you'll be able to pull off these accents simply by reading this, it's just a guide. The only way to do these accents is to listen to them. Also, many of these accents are stereotypical and may not accurately represent their region of origin but rather how the accent is commonly portrayed. North Dublin: North Dublin accents are notable for the substitution of 'th' with 'd' (there becomes dere or dare) and 'ir' become 'oor' (first becomes foorst, burst becomes boorst). Though generally low sounding, North Dublin accents utilize a varied amount of inflections per sentence and sometimes per word. A 'd' sound can often be used instead of or after 'r' sounds in words (parents becomes padents or pardents). Because of the amount of traits and quirks, this is a difficult accent to recreate."

Less than 70,000 Scots speak the language and nearly all MSPs will rely on headphones to listen to a translation of proceedings. Is it time for a revival? What do you think? Is preserving minority languages the best way to keep a nation in touch with its heritage? Or do you think there's no point spending money on promoting old languages in modern society?

The six Celtic nations Scotland Ireland Isle of Man Wales Cornwall Brittany The Celtic nations are territories in western Europe where Celtic languages or cultural traits have survived. [ 1] The term \"\" nation \"\" is used in its original sense to mean a people who share a common identity and culture and are identified with a traditional territory. The six territories widely considered Celtic nations are Brittany ( Breizh ), Cornwall ( Kernow ), Wales ( Cymru ), Scotland ( Alba ), Ireland ( Éire) and the Isle of Man ( Mannin or Ellan Vannin ), [1] [2] commonly referred to as the \"\"Celtic fringe\"\". In each of the six nations a Celtic language is spoken. [ 3]Before the expansions of Ancient Rome and the Germanic and Slavic tribes, a significant part of Europe was dominated by Celts, leaving behind a legacy of Celtic cultural traits. [ 4] Territories in north-western Iberia —particularly Galicia, northern Portugal and Asturias, historically referred to as Gallaecia and Astures, covering north-central Portugal and northern Spain—are considered Celtic nations due to their culture and history. [ 5] Unlike the others, however, no Celtic language has been spoken there in modern times. [ 5] [6] [7]A genetics study from an Oxford University research team in 2006 claimed that the majority of Britons, including many of the English, are descended from a group of tribes which arrived from Iberia around 5000 BC, prior to the spread of Celts into western Europe. [ 4] However, three major genetic studies in 2015 have instead shown that haplogroup R1b in western Europe, most common in traditionally Celtic-speaking areas of Atlantic Europe like Ireland and Brittany, would have largely expanded in massive migrations from the Indo-European homeland, the Yamna culture in the Pontic-Caspian steppe, during the Bronze Age along with carriers of Indo-European languages like proto-Celtic."

"text": "\"Michael de Groot, works at Staying Alive UKAnswered Dec 16, 2016 · Author has 67 answers and 80.1k answer views Originally answered Dec 11, 2016The most fundamental problem Linked In helps you to solve is ‘business intelligence’. Without business intelligence you are running blind. Whether you're searching for your next career move or looking for your next client, business intelligence is essential. And ‘business intelligence’ starts with understanding the people who work in businesses. Linked In allows you to get a decent snapshot of business professionals and their history. Better still, if they're active then you will get an understanding of where they are focussed. Being able to start a dialogue with individuals from a place of knowledge and understanding about them is the best possible place to start. As some great answers here already suggest, having a daily practice is definitely useful, as is developing a strategy to write articles (posts), which will allow you to develop your reputation as a thought leader.

Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below. When you look at employment like that of a stenographer, you want to be sure to understand that as one, you are going to have a chance to do all sorts of work. This means that the job of a stenographer is actually quite varied, and you might spend different workdays doing different types of things. This is part of what makes this job so exciting for so many people and why they enjoy it so much. When you are a stenographer, it means that you are working to translate oral accounts into written accounts. Many times, you will be working with live people—people who are telling you something—and you are making sure that their words get onto the page in the right way. However, you also might be working with recorded speech, in many forms of recordings, and making sure that they get onto paper in the right way. Therefore, as a stenographer, you are going to spend many of your work days differently, but you are still going to be doing basically the same thing. When your employment as a stenographer begins, you are going to probably be assigned somewhere as an expert."

It’s where you keep track of your long list of connections, but it also offers alerts and tags. These features, along with helpful filtering options, keep everything organized and easily accessible. Alerts are in the boxes at the top of the page. They let you know when your contacts have a significant event happening, like a job change, work anniversary or birthday. Use these alerts to your advantage and send a quick note to acknowledge their success. They’ll appreciate the gesture and it’s a great way to keep in touch (and top of mind)."

"text": "On Fridays, I’m posting a job search question from one of our readers. This was a question posted in response to my posting on Linkedin Answers “Candidates – What’s your most difficult job search question?”F. P. shared a question he had about his own job search, and asked:“What font type and size should I use for my resume?”Interestingly enough, people worry about fonts more than most issues on a resume, yet more get it wrong than just about anything else I see. In a perfect world, fonts shouldn’t matter on your resume – content should be the only thing that matters. Since we aren’t in a perfect world, fonts do matter, but not in the way most people think. You should see some of the resumes I get as a coach, and what I used to see as a recruiter. Many contain typos, others have clear formatting errors, more still are unclear, or don’t sell the candidate, but one of the most common resume issues I see is the poor use of fonts. Unfortunately, these are some of the more common ways I see fonts being used on resumes sent to me: Candidate name in a huge font – if there was a font with colored flashing lights, candidates would use it5 -10 different fonts on a page Fancy fonts12 point fonts – or greater Fonts that make vertical formatting difficult All of the above are poor choices when it comes to writing a resume. Fonts should do a few basic things: Make effective use of resume real estate – Fonts should be small enough to allow the candidate to get as much information as possible into the top half of your first page – your most valuable resume real estate (see: http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/02/10-ways-to-manage-your-resume-real.html ). I recommend using a 9 font for the text of your bullet points, 11 font for the header and for section titles. A 9 font is large enough for most human eyes to see, because readers adjust their own default screen magnification to their own comfort."

Influenza-like illness, influenza testing and positive influenza test results have risen sharply in the last couple weeks. This activity has caused hospitalizations and even deaths across the country. I have seen news reports that this strain is more severe and widespread than we have seen in the past, but the current data from the CDC suggests this is similar to what has been seen in the past few years. Influenza is a serious illness causing thousands of deaths annually and this is why there are recommendations for everyone over 6 months old to be vaccinated. The current strain causing most of the illness is known as H3N2 Influenza A. This was included in the influenza vaccine, but the vaccine is not 100 percent effective. The flu shot is for prevention, not treatment and it is best given before the flu season hits. Although influenza is here now, it generally peaks in our area in February and March so you should still get your flu shot through January."

Twenty six million American adults have chronic kidney disease, while millions more are at risk for developing it. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is loss of kidney function, and it progresses over time. As the disease progresses, waste can build to high levels in your blood to make you feel sick. The disease is associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and infectious complications. Some studies suggest vitamin D deficiency may contribute to these complications, making it an important modifiable risk factor. Despite this, researchers have yet to explore the use of vitamin D supplements in this group. If there’s okay to good evidence for the use of vitamin D supplements, are CKD patients using them? Recently, researchers examined the trends in vitamin D supplement use in people with chronic kidney disease and the relationship of supplementation to vitamin D levels. They examined rates of vitamin D supplementation among the participants from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC)."

Most of us are on Linkedin; we have pimped our profiles and thrown in the buzzwords so that we can be found by whoever has a nice juicy opportunity for us. Apart from joining and getting active in groups, the best way to raise your profile is to get online testimonials from people you know professionally. The beauty of Linkedin recommendations is that everyone can see who has endorsed you. No more of that “references provided upon request” b-s, the references are right there on your profile and you can leverage them as much as you like. Recruiters, HR and hiring managers all skim the recommendations section of your profile so it’s worth investing some time in getting the right ones. Every time you do get a recommendation, it will appear on your contacts’ home feeds and thus giving you an additional plug. How many Linked In recommendations are normal?

Therefore, Buffalo has gone the extra mile to ensure its students successfully pass the bar. He said one example is his school's coordination of bar review classes with leading bar review prep provider, BAR/BRI in New York City, more than 7 hours away from campus, for those who failed the bar. \"\" Whether it's donuts for the morning of the bar or open-door policies from the dean down to adjunct faculty, everyone here is pulling for you and doing all they can to help you.\"\" For Mann, who will graduate in 2006, the bar is still a while away. But the bar is definitely on his mind. \"\" First it was the SATs, next was the LSATs, then it was first-year final exams, and finally it is the bar exam,\"\" said Mann. \"\""

( AFP: Alberto E Rodriguez/Getty Images for Global Green)Related Story: Joan Rivers remains on life support Map: United States The entertainment industry is mourning the death of comedian Joan Rivers, who has died a week after suffering a cardiac arrest during an outpatient medical procedure. \"\" It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers. She passed peacefully at 1:17pm [local time] surrounded by family and close friends,\"\" daughter Melissa Rivers said in a statement. \"\" My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. \"\" Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon. \"\" The 81-year-old actress and stand-up comedian known for her acerbic brand of humour had been at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan since last Thursday. Born Joan Alexandra Molinksy, she graduated from New York's Barnard College and worked in the fashion industry before starting out in stand-up under the stage name Joan Rivers. In 1983, she earned one of the biggest gigs in the business when Tonight Show host Johnny Carson crowned her as his regular guest host. Four months after landing the spot, Rivers married one of the show's producers, Edgar Rosenberg."

Share +1 Tweet Linkedin 257936 Views1 2 3 4 5 ( 2584 votes, average: 5 out of 5)What do you think about this article? Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below. For any attorney, the cost of entry into the profession is high, which means that once in, they’re most likely hungry to succeed and stay in the industry for decades. Law school can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000, and taking the bar exam to get a law license is a mind-busting task. So once an attorney is able to finally practice, it makes sense for them to want to earn as much income as possible—which usually means expanding the number of jurisdictions that they can serve. But what options exist that will allow an attorney to pass the bar in one state, but work in another? TAKE THE UNIFORM BAR EXAM Within the legal community, it's generally an accepted fact that some states' bar exams are more difficult or easier than others. Thankfully, some of those states realized they needed to combat their reputations, and they began to administer the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). One example is New York, which had one of the most difficult bar exams in the country but began to enact the UBE starting in 2016. After the UBE was adopted, New York saw an uptick in their bar passage rates, and lawyers from other UBE states were allowed to practice in the highly-desired market."

Last week's CES brought forward a huge number of tablets. It doesn't take a genius to realize we're entering the era of tablet computing. Either that or there will soon be a lot of red-faced manufacturers. ( Don't laugh; it happens regularly in the world of IT . ) Assuming tablets are here to say, when it comes to corporate take-up there's an interesting question: What exactly are we supposed to use tablets for? Tablets make a whole lot of sense in the home, where we can lounge around and browse our favorite Websites or watch movies.

"text": "\"PSA: LED-Backlighting Can Cause Migraine Headaches Posted May 4th, 2011 by Scott & filed under Other. A little over two-years ago I began experience infrequent, but regular migraine headaches. Before this time, I had only experienced three or four migraine headaches in my whole life. They began a few months before I started law school, and they were happening about every two weeks. I started reading some literature on migraines, and learned that for some people, the headaches are “triggered” by some stimulus to which the person is sensitive. I was at a loss however, as I could not correlate the onset of my headaches with any particular stimulus. I saw a doctor, who seemed convinced that the headaches were stress-induced (first-year of law school, growing family, etc.). I disagreed, however, and continued to investigate. One day, I suddenly came to the realization that the headaches began around the time I purchased a new laptop computer for school. I had never had any problems using any computer before, so it never occurred to me that the purchase of the computer might be related to the headaches."

Not all beach weddings are casual, and the weather isn't always sunny and in the seventies. Plan ahead to make sure your attire is appropriate. Invitation Attire Guidelines Although proper etiquette states that invitations should not mention a dress code, it is often becoming necessary for the modern couple. With wedding themes and styles ranging from costume to elegant to country, it can be hard for guests to discern proper attire without a little help. For beach weddings, looks can range from extremely casual to black tie. Guests should first check the wedding invitation to find out if there is a notation about the formality or attire for the wedding. Black Tie or Black Tie Optional The line \"\"black tie optional\"\" suggests a formal beach wedding, usually in the evening. Women should wear a long formal dress. Dark grays, browns, navies, purples, burgundies or greens are appropriate color choices."

"text": "\"I conducted my first wedding ceremony recently. As a Notary Public in the State of Florida, you can perform such a service, and we are but one of three states that permit this (the other two are South Carolina and Maine). I became a Notary a couple of years ago as it comes in handy to process legal paperwork, but I had never imagined doing a wedding service. Earlier this year, a young friend approached me about doing a service for a friend of hers. At first I was startled by the request, but then said, \"\"Why not? \"\" I take the institution of marriage rather seriously and figured I would not treat it as frivolously as some people do. As such, I sat down with the bride-to-be and had a heart-to-heart talk with her about why she wanted to get married. We talked for quite a long time. I discussed my marriage, which has lasted over 30 years so far, and the sacrifices, compromises and challenges involved. We also openly talked about religion, children, finances, commitment, even pets."

"text": "Ask Sydne What to Wear to Beach Chic Weddings05.20.09Last week I felt like I had a closet full of dresses, but nothing to wear to my cousin’s “beach chic” wedding. I tried on dress after dress, but each one was either too fancy or too casual-or I just plain didn’t like it. I had an image in my head of what I wanted: a flowy ombré halter dress with a handkerchief hem in some shade of the ocean. I could have just bought one but I was already spending so much money to travel across the country (the wedding was in Florida). So I called in a favor to one of my fashion PR pals. Journalism may not pay well but it certainly has its perks. The day before the wedding, I rushed to a showroom in Hollywood and sifted through racks and racks of samples. The obvious choice would be one of the silk maxi dresses I saw in every color. But then I spotted this lavender jumpsuit by Storee. It wasn’t what I was looking for but you know those are the times you find perfection."

Then it’s all wedding etiquette, all the time, because you know how easily offended some people are and there is no leaving those folks off your guest list. Here are 10 questions brides-to-be ask us and our answers because there’s a good chance you’ve been wondering, too.1. How can I let people know where I am registered? Word of mouth is really only the “proper” way to inform people where you are registered. You really must wait until they ask you or other family members. The one exception: all close family members and your attendants should be told where you are registered so they can inform others when they’re asked. And they will be asked. Okay, there is one more exception – but one that is still considered unmannerly by many. Most couples these days are putting their wedding registry information on their wedding websites.2."

Summer is the prime time to get away from the city, escape the country and otherwise find a change of scenery. This holds true for winter travelers as well. After all, what’s more appealing than a sunny resort when the weather outside makes you feel like you’re living in a snow globe? Whether you want a few sun soaked days on the beach or a chance to get back and commune with nature, finding the perfect holiday spot can be a challenge. In fact, according to some studies, planning a vacation often leaves people more stressed out than if they had skipped the entire affair. When planning every aspect of a break has the potential to leave you needing a vacation from vacation planning, all-inclusive holiday packages can be the perfect solution. Gay all inclusive resorts are cropping up all over in an effort to welcome not only couples and families in need of a getaway but also newly married gay couples celebrating their long awaited honeymoon. Gay All Inclusive Resorts For Singles, Newlyweds and Families When planning for an all-inclusive holiday, the only things you really need to worry about are the location and your fellow travelers."

"text": "\"2017 Wedding Trends The following trends have been compiled from many sources in both North America and Europe to guide your selections and inform you of the vast array of options available. Wedding Dresses Wedding dresses with soft tulle layers, large ruffles and beaded embellishments are prominent themes for today's bridal gowns. Brides today choose romantic flowing dresses in floor-length styles with combinations of overlaid detachable skirts made of chiffon, organza or tulle so they can remove them later and show a different look for the reception. Many dresses feature intricate embroidery, beaded or sequined embellishments, three dimensional floral details and delicate lace cutwork. A-line dress shapes and high necklines are very popular styles. Open-back dresses with sheer, detailed lace designs are trending this year as are dresses with lace sleeves. Many designers have also included full ball gowns and shorter tea-length styles in their lines as well as dresses in soft creams, blush pinks and pastel blues. Bridal Accessories Shorter trains and veils (especially bird cage veils) are popular as are pretty boleros and shawls. For colder weather, brides choose wraps of faux-fur, velvet or pashmina. Light weight fabrics, including organza, lace, tulle and chiffon, make perfect wraps for the spring or summer bride and reduce sun exposure on bare arms and shoulders."

Let’s face it: A ballgown belongs in, well, a ballroom. “ You may be able to get down the aisle in a full dress and long train,” notes Paulette Davis of Bahamas Wedding Planner, “but walking on the beach and taking photos won’t be easy. If a large dress is a must, make sure it can bustle easily. ”Think light. “ Dresses with lace trim can be difficult because they pick up debris from the beach,” says Kate Bentley of Happily Ever After Wedding Planning & Design in Key West, Florida. “ Instead, choose a lightweight fabric like chiffon or charmeuse so your gown flows in the ocean breeze. ”Nix the veil. “ When marrying outside, think twice about a long veil,” cautions Stacy Mulcare of Ceremonies of St. John. “"

"text": "What to Wear to a South Florida Wedding Share is Caring... What to Wear to a South Florida Wedding Most fall weddings in South Florida are on the beach and because of this your outfit options are much different than most places in the country during this same time period. I recently went to a wedding in Vero Beach on the beach in the middle of the Florida Winter. The fall and winter in Florida is much different than other places in United States by as much as 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather could be from 30 degrees to 80 degrees one day to the next. The good part is that you will not likely be dealing with a ton of rain. Rain is a summer occurrence as Florida stays mostly dry in Fall and Winter. My suggestion for a fall or winter wedding in South Florida is a printed dress with some fall colors worked in with a matching pashmina in case you encounter a 30 degree day or serious air conditioning. The AC is more likely than the 30 degree day. I would suggest brands like Trina Turk or if you did not have time to find one at home, try local store, Angela Moore in Manalapan & Worth Avenue. As for the shoes, go for metallic and comfortable so you can dance."

Planning for a wedding ceremony, however, can be a nightmare -- especially for the families of the bride and groom, who must balance responsibilities, bills and fashions without offending the new family members across the aisle. The mother of the groom should celebrate the marriage of her son whatever way she sees fit. However, what she wears is traditionally dictated by certain customs. Even for a casual beach wedding, the mother of the groom must talk to the mother of the bride about what to wear, and then dress and accessorize appropriately. Communication Is Key The mother of the groom, regardless of the wedding style and location, must coordinate with the mother of the bride when it comes to dress. The mother of he bride selects her dress and then notifies the mother of the groom, typically over the phone. This gives the mother of the groom some boundaries regarding color and style. Also, she should reach out to her son's fiancee and find out what the bridesmaid's dresses will look like to avoid clashing colors or dressing in too similar a style."

"text": "\"Engagement Party Planning Basics Whether you're the hosts or guests of honor, read our engagement party primer for everything you need to know.by The Knotphoto by Mississippi Pearl Photography What It's For People will want to congratulate you on your engagement, and let's be real: A party's a lot more fun than a phone call! It's also a great time to introduce key people from your lives who are going to be seeing a lot of each other (and possibly helping plan your wedding together) over the next year or so. \"\" It's the first time you’ll have different groups of friends and generations really getting to know each other in a more intimate way,\"\" says celebrity wedding planner Jung Lee of Fête NY. Who Hosts Traditionally, the bride's parents host the first official celebration, then, the groom's parents can throw their own party. A less traditional, but perhaps more appealing option, is to have both sets of parents come together to cohost an event. However, these days, more couples are tossing tradition aside altogether and throwing the engagement party themselves (just keep in mind that if you're doing the inviting, it's your responsibility to foot the bill too). Friends of the couple can also host (and may even volunteer to), but before you ask, be conscious of the financial implications. When to Have It The engagement party should fall within a few months of the proposal—otherwise known as the sweet spot between carefree, just-engaged life and the start of serious wedding planning. You'll want to give guests about a month's notice, so we suggest getting those invites out a couple months after the proposal. Whose Turf to Have It On The location really depends on who throws the party."

"text": "So you’ve been invited to a wedding and there isn’t any mention of what exactly you should be wearing on the invitation. If you don’t know the bride and groom well enough to simply pick up the phone and ask them what kind of attire is appropriate, or even worse, you didn’t get an invitation because you’re somebody’s plus-one date, that wedding invitation is probably making you feel pretty nervous. After all, it can be pretty difficult to for a man to figure out what to wear to a wedding. While you may not know what to wear to a wedding right at this moment, there are some basic guidelines that can help put your fears to rest. Learn them now and you’ll be set for a lifetime that will almost certainly be full of wedding invitations for years to come. What Time of Year Is It?sallaurettas Sal Lauretta for Men Follow Comment Save41 likes38 months ago Instagram Determining what to wear to a wedding has a lot to do with the time of year when the wedding will be held. It might seem obvious that you don’t want to wear a 100% wool suit to an August wedding held outdoors, but many men don’t consider the time of year when picking their wardrobe for such a rare event. However, you can’t simply assume that a summer suit is appropriate for summer weddings or that a heavy wool suit will be fine for any fall or winter event. There’s a lot more to consider than just the material the suit is made of, though that should definitely come into play if you want to be comfortable. You’ll also look out of place compared to other guests in a suit that’s inappropriate for the season."

Her wedding dress, her hair, her shoes, and her jewelry are often what guests are waiting to catch a glimpse of when she walks down the aisle. And usually, a lot of money is spent on the bride’s beautification in preparation for the big day. Then you’ve got the groom. No one gets excited before the wedding thinking about what he could possibly be wearing. Most men’s formal wear looks just about the same. So does it make sense to spend big bucks on what guests won’t even notice or appreciate? Are designer duds really worth the extra dough? Here are 12 ways that you can get a bargain on wedding wear for the groom and groomsmen without compromising style. Save Money on Men’s Wedding Formal Wear1."

There are many other options for your wedding ceremony. You might want to go with a civil ceremony somewhere rather than having a church wedding. It might even be easier to plan. Follow these steps to plan a civil ceremony for your wedding. Steps1 Choose the location. For most civil ceremonies, you would go to city hall. You can also go to a judge's chambers or a lawyers office. If you don't like these locations, you can really have your civil ceremony anywhere. If you'd rather have it outside somewhere, plan to find a venue like a public garden, a nature reserve or a public park.2 Figure out who will officiate the wedding."

Listenen español Tablas de crecimiento About Growth Charts Look at any class picture, and you'll see kids of the same age in all shapes and sizes. Some kids look tiny next to their peers, while others literally stand head and shoulders above their classmates. As easy as it is to make these comparisons and to draw conclusions about what you see, the reality is that kids grow at their own pace. Big, small, tall, short — there is a wide range of healthy shapes and sizes among children. Genetics, gender, nutrition, physical activity, health problems, environment, hormones, and lifestyle factors like nutrition and physical activity all influence a child's height and weight. And many of these factors can vary widely from family to family. So how does a doctor figure out whether a child's height and weight measurements are \"\"normal\"\"? Whether he or she is developing on track? Whether any health problems are affecting growth?"

"text": "Weight Gain One of the biggest concerns all new moms have is whether or not their baby is gaining enough weight, especially when they are breastfeeding. Moms go to their baby’s first few checkups holding their breath when their baby is put on the scale, waiting to see what the doctor’s verdict is. Is their baby in the 50th percentile or above? Awesome…unless they are above the 90th percentile, in which case they must be gaining weight too fast, and are going to be overweight children and adults (and we know what a growing problem obesity is, especially in the US). On the other hand, what if your baby is below the magical 50th percentile? Oh no…he must be starving. ( Sarcasm intended)So, what is a mom to do? It’s important to remember that all the “percentiles” and statistics apply to the mythical “average” baby, who doesn’t exist in real life. Weight gain is only one measurement of growth, but doctors often tend to focus on the weight charts alone. Here is what you need to keep in mind: When your baby is in the “50th percentile” for weight or length, it simply means that half of the babies measured at that age weigh more than him (or are longer than him), and half weigh less (or are shorter)."

Children come in all shapes and sizes and grow at different rates.

The growth chart shows the doctor how your infant is growing compared to other babies of the same age and gender. It also allows you to track your child's development over time. About Head Circumference Head circumference, or occipital-frontal circumference, is a measurement of your baby's head just above the eyebrows and ears. Measurements outside the range of \"\"normal\"\" can indicate several health problems, including water on the brain, called hydrocephalus, or unusually small cranial size, called microcephaly."

Firstly, body mass index bmi is based on your weight and height. The Body Mass Index measurement is a guide that indicates whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. If the BMI measurement is high the national institutes of health (NIH) identifies this as one of the risk factors for obesity-related diseases. Health risks associated with a high BMI include cardiovascular disease; high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, type diabetes and other health problems. I have a six-pack.

"text": "\"Through the Years Understanding Growth Charts for Kids What Those Height and Weight Percentiles Mean By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated March 03, 2018Share Pin Email Print Hero Images/Getty Images Growth charts are a tool for tracking a child's physical growth and development. They help a pediatrician make sure a kid is gaining inches, putting on pounds, and increasing in head size (an indicator of healthy and normal brain development) at a rate that's typical for her age. By charting a child's height, weight, and head circumference over time, these measurements also allow doctors and parents to see if a child is gaining weight more quickly than she's adding inches, or vice-versa—signs that she may be on track to becoming overweight or isn't eating as much as she should. ; Understanding Percentiles When your doctor's child measures her height, weight, and head circumference, not only will he tell you the results in terms of inches and pounds, he'll also express what her percentiles are for each measurement. The percentile number means that your child exceeds that percentage of children her age for that measurement. If she's in the 75th percentile for height, she's taller than 75 percent of other kids her age, for example. On the other hand, if she's in the 25th percentile for weight, she only exceeds 25 percent of children her age in weight. Charting Your Child's Growth Yourself If you'd like to keep an eye on how your little one is growing between doctor visits, you can find growth charts online to help you do that. The first step is to find the right chart. If your child is healthy and developing normally, you have a couple of choices depending on her age."

Growth charts were developed from information gained by measuring and weighing thousands of children. From these numbers, the national average weight and height for each age and gender were established. The lines or curves on growth charts tell how many other children in the United States weigh a certain amount at a certain age. For example, the weight on the 50th percentile line means that one half of the children in the United States weigh more than that number and one half of the children weigh less.

This calculator can help to determine whether a child is at a healthy weight for his/her height, age and gender. The amounts of body fat, muscle, and bone change with age, and differ between boys and girls. This BMI-calculator automatically adjusts for differences in height, age and gender, making it is one of the best tools for evaluating a growing child's weight. Keep in mind that BMI is not a diagnostic tool. BMI and BMI-percentile-for-age do not directly measure body fat. Very athletic kids can have a high BMI-for-age due to extra muscle mass, not necessarily excess body fat."

Growth grids have been used since the 1970s, but back in 2000, they were revised to really reflect different cultural and ethnic diversities that exist within our population. Why Percentiles Are Not Like the Grades in School What we want from a growth grid is to really map out the ideal growth for children. This isn't like grades in school.

A percentile (or a centile) is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. For example, the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20% of the observations may be found. The term percentile and the related term percentile rank are often used in the reporting of scores from norm-referenced tests. For example, if a score is at the 86th percentile, where 86 is the percentile rank, it is equal to the value below which 86% of the observations may be found (carefully contrast with in the 86th percentile, which means the score is at or below the value of which 86% of the observations may be found - every score is in the 100th percentile). The 25th percentile is also known as the first quartile ( Q 1 ), the 50th percentile as the median or second quartile ( Q 2 ), and the 75th percentile as the third quartile ( Q 3 ).

A: Quick Answer A peregrine falcon's diet mainly consists of smaller birds, such as pigeons, starlings, doves, jays, shorebirds, songbirds and waterfowl. However, peregrine falcons inhabit six continents and live in both rural and urban environments, so they quickly adapt to catching other types of animals, including reptiles, insects, bats, fish and rodents. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Falcons Eat? What Food Do Doves Eat? How Do You Catch a Falcon? Full Answer Despite their versatile abilities, peregrine falcons usually hone their hunting skills to target specific localized species, such as pigeons in cities and seabirds near coastal towns. They scan for prey by finding tall trees, cliffs, bridges, buildings and even ships to perch and nest on. After spotting suitable prey, falcons fly high up and hurtle down towards their targets in a rapid dive. They position their wings close to their bodies to gain speed, traveling as fast as 200 mph."

"text": "\"Journey North: Ask the Expert Answers From the Peregrine Falcon Expert We think you will find that Skip Ambrose's answers are fascinating and more than enough to keep you busy!From NEW JERSEY: Q. Why do Peregrines only have three to four eggs? Are they hard to take care of? A. No one really knows the answer to this question, but biologists think that peregrine falcons have three to four eggs because this is as many eggs as the female can keep warm during incubation (because her body is only so big) and because it is hard to feed more than three or four young falcons. Q. When Alyson Cocchiaro was trying to find where her Peregrine Falcon lived she discovered that in a book it said that Peregrine Falcons only lived in Baffin Island and Africa, but others in our group found their Falcons in other parts of the world such as Galapogos Islands, Belize, Central America and Northern Canada. Why? A. Peregrine falcons are truly a world-wide species and occur nearly everywhere. The biggest reason for this wide distribution is because they can live and nest in a wide range of habitats--from the desert to the forests--and because they eat a wide range of prey--they are not \"\"specialists\"\" and they eat all types of other birds. So peregrine have no limiting factors that keep them out of some areas--they seem to fit in almost anywhere. The other reason is that peregrines are very good at what they do: this is, catching other birds to eat and defending their territory and young from other predators. Q. Does any culture eat Peregrine Falcons or is D. D. T. the reason why they have disappeared in numbers?"

"text": "Photo: USFWSThe Peregrine Falcon was one of the first birds to be placed on California’s Endangered Species List. In 1970, the population in the state was listed at just five pairs. The cause of this dramatic decline was primarily the same as for the bald eagle – ingesting prey contaminated by DDT. The now-banned insecticide greatly weakened the birds' shells, resulting in the eggs being crushed during incubation. Under the protection of the Endangered Species List designation, the Peregrine Falcon has staged a remarkable recovery. Thanks to the combined efforts of combined efforts of dedicated non-profit groups, as well as efforts by state and federal agencies, there are more than 300 active breeding sites in 2008. Following the filing of a petition to delist the Falcon, Audubon California in June of 2008 convened a forum of Peregrine Falcon experts to discuss the issue. Based on this forum, coupled with our own independent analysis, a strong scientific case exists for the delisting of this subspecies. Audubon supports the delisting, provided that subsequent follow-up activities are built into the decision to ensure that population monitoring remains a part of the ongoing peregrine management effort. We will continue to pressure state and federal agencies to monitor the progress of the Peregrine Falcon to ensure that the bird’s progress continues."

Credit: Photo Alto/Jerome Gorin Brand X Pictures Getty Images Full Answer In the wild, pigeons often fall victim to larger predators or human interference, which significantly lowers their life expectancy. A domesticated pigeon, however, is able to live up to five times longer than its wild counterpart because it is safe from predators. The most notable predator that preys on pigeons in the wild is the peregrine falcon. Also contributing to a pigeon's shorter life span in the wild is that its primary habitat is urban areas. A pigeon's diet consists of seeds, fruit, insects and worms, all of which are increasingly harder for them to find in urban areas."

A large, crow -sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. [ 4] [5] The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), [6] making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. [ 7] [8] According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). [ 9] [10]The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, [11] and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks."

What Do Peregrine Falcons Eat Peregrine falcons will strike birds with the devastating impact as birds make much of the falcon’s diet. Falcons that live in the coastal regions are known to feed on seabirds. The peregrine falcon’s diet includes 95% of medium-sized birds such as songbirds, pigeons, waders, doves, and waterfowl. According to a rough estimate, falcons eat around 1,500 to 2,000 different bird species worldwide. The prey can be as small as hummingbirds (weighing only 3 grams) to as large as sandhill crane (weighs up to 3.1 kg). However peregrine falcons prey on birds that weigh up to 20 grams such as small passerines.

Three subspecies are recognized in North America: F. P. Pealei from the coastal islands off Alaska; F. P. Tundrius, which nests above the tree line in the Arctic; and F. P. Anatum, which once ranged over North America from coast to coast. In the 1960s, scientists discovered that DDT was interfering in the egg shell formation of meat and fish eating birds. Healthy birds were laying eggs so thin they were crushed by the weight of the incubating adult. By 1965, no Peregrine falcons were fledged in the eastern or Central United States. By 1968, the Peregrine population was completely eradicated east of the Mississippi River. In 1972, use of DDT was severely restricted in the United States and worldwide. BABY FALCONS are called eyasses. They are covered by white down when they are born, which is replaced by feathers in three to five weeks.

Falcons are best known for their ruthlessness and their incredible flying abilities. Falcons have tapered wings that allow the falcon to change direction extremely quickly especially when compared to other birds. Falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of up to 200mph, meaning they are the fastest creatures on the planet!There are more than 40 different species of falcon that can be found all around the world such as the peregrine falcon and the black falcon. Falcons vary in size from 25cm tall to more than 60cm tall, but the height of the falcon depends on the species. The peregrine falcon is the most common bird of prey in the world and is found on every continent besides Antarctica. Falcons are birds of prey and are therefore known for their incredible hunting skills and being a ruthless, dominant predator within their environment. Falcons hunt their prey from the skies above and swoop down through the air to catch it once they have spotted a meal with their incredible eyesight. Falcons hunt all kinds of small animals like mice, frogs, fish and falcons will even catch small birds in the air. Due to the large size, speed and alertness of the falcon, the falcon has few natural predators and even fewer that are actually airborne."

"text": "\"Home »Nature What Do Wild Birds Eat? By Kit Arbuckle; Updated April 24, 2017What wild birds eat depends on the type. There is tremendous variety between the different families of birds. Some birds eat only insects or seeds. Others are true omnivores that devour nearly anything. Birds forage, hunt and rely on humans for food. The location affects available food choices. Tree-clinging birds Birds that cling to trees are woodpeckers, nuthatches and creepers. Woodpeckers generally eat bugs and grubs they find in trees. They will, however, fly low and swoop to pluck bugs from the air."

My perfumes from Britney Spears Curious and Salvatore Ferragamo went bad within a year and a half. The Britney Spears one developed some precipitation and started smelling like alcohol, while the Salvatore Ferragamo just smelled plain weird. But my other perfumes on the same shelf, such as Ralph Lauren Ralph and Versace, smell just fine. I've had the Ralph Lauren one since 2007 and it still smells great!0 Replyredverbena 03-15-2014 07:05Definitely agree perfumes and fragrances will spoil if not stored appropriately."

Yet, if other people are suggesting that you're odorous, or you're simply worried that you might be, working it out for yourself requires some thought about your usual habits and hygienic practices. Steps1 Smell your clothes after removing them. Take a break first. Go take a shower, watch TV, read a book for a while. Then, collect the clothes and give them the sniff test, especially around the pit area and anywhere you sweat profusely. If you find an odor that is unpleasant, that might be an indicator that you have a body odor problem that is leaching into your clothing. Our own odor can be augmented by the materials we wear, with un-breathable synthetics being at the top of the list for enhancing bad odors. Stinky clothing always means that the clothes need a wash immediately!2 Consider your diet. You might enjoy heaps of garlic, curry, onions, beer, spices, etc.,"

However, we've all experienced standing next to someone who didn't get the memo, and a waft of their unpleasant smell can make you incredibly uncomfortable (even nauseous). While the sense of smell is rather subjective, the following steps will help anyone eradicate what are commonly considered to be unwanted odors. Steps1 Bathe/shower regularly. This will get rid of hormonal odor on your entire body and is essential that you do it daily. If you find this hard to fit into your schedule, try asking a doctor about other procedures. Make sure to wash the problem parts of your body carefully. These parts include the armpits and genitals.2 Wear deodorant. Get one with an appealing fragrance. If you sweat a lot get an antiperspirant.3 Groom your lower abdomen regularly."

It was launched in 2006 and became an instant hit with both the American audience and the critics who awarded it with the industry's top honor—The Fi Fi Fragrance of the Year 2006. Europe followed suit very quickly. The top notes reveal the pleasant freshness of watermelon, mandarin, pink passion fruit, green leaves, water hyacinth and marigold flowers. The heart brings with it charming notes of tuberose, lily, and wild rose, while the base unites notes of caramels, powdery vanilla, creme brulee, patchouli and woods. The fragrance is truly multifaceted—light yet not naive, fresh but not in the just-got-out-of the-shower way and sexy without being too suggestive. It seems like Juicy Couture is telling us a few stories (or, in step with this brand's tradition, fairytales) at the same time. Juicy Couture is available in luxurious bottles sized 30 ml (1 oz.) and 60 ml (2 oz.) for parfum concentration and 50 ml (1.7 oz.)"

Is that your hair?” And then proceeded to stick his face in my hair only to find out it was (how embarrassing). Okay, first, the whole myth about being married negates you from any responsibility to “keep the sexy” (as Curly Nikki would say) is totally bogus. It just makes it harder to keep the mystery of me being the delicate flower that I am (giggles). For instance, the razors for shaving body hair, the creams for the “lady stach” removal, and other feminine products I care not to mention here, really sheds a light on what once was a mystery when I was a girlfriend vs. “The Wife”. Okay, back on topic- - that smell he pointed out was the fresh coat of a mix of essential oils I used that morning to untwist my hair. Mainly it was probably the Tea Tree oil which tends to smell like medicine when it’s not dry. I’m in the middle of a change in the way I take care of my hair, switching from Carol’s Daughter smelly goods to Ayurvedic powders and more basic products like shea butter and coconut oil."

"text": "\"David Lincoln Brooks, Fascinated by Olfaction Answered Sep 1, 2016 · Author has 1.1k answers and 2m answer views The problem with cheap perfume, as I see it, is that it contains no natural essential oils… only synthetic aromachemicals. The best commercial fragrances, in my opinion, are those in which natural essences are expertly blended with some synthetics, and indeed, the basic job of the synthetics was to support and flesh-out the naturals. There was a time, before, say 1990, when any fragrance that cost over $40 US was going to include some natural essences, botanical or animalic. Indeed, it was the extra money you spent that was going to give you a scent not 100% comprised of synthetics. Nowadays, one must spend at least $80—$100 US before one will get a fragrance that contains some natural oils in it. This means there is a huge ball-park for all-synthetic perfumes… The kinds you’ll pick up at Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree, Target, Boots, Sephora, Bath & Body Works, etc. The aromachemical laboratories in the world, like Symrise, Givaudan, Firmenich and others are famous for, each year, releasing proprietary new aromachemicals. Often these new molecules are based upon natural smells, but highly “goosed-up”, embellished, and given a “fantasy” quality… So, let’s say, they’ll release a peach aromachemical which smells bigger, better, more luscious and more perfect… than any real peach fruit possibly could. A cedar chemical more airy, uplifting, strong and penetrating than any real-life tree could ever produce. A jasmine chemical that never wilts or grows sour or subsides in strength."

According to an oft repeated story, the iconic Chanel No 5 fails miserably in fragrance market tests, with the derived conclusion that the success of this great fragrance is based on the clever marketing strategy and carefully maintained brand image. Considering that today’s market tests have produced some of the worst excuses for perfumes, I do not find this to be the logical inference. Although an elegant brand image is an important part of the story, it is not enough to explain the mystery, the draw and the timeless beauty of Chanel No 5. I realize that trying to write a post of reasonable length on this topic is an ambitious task; after all, Tilar Mazzeo wrote a whole book on No 5 and yet many felt that she missed some important elements. Instead, I would like to describe Chanel No 5 in its different forms as it exists today and to hear your thoughts. I am convinced that the reason for its iconic status, is above all, the impeccable quality and allure of the fragrance itself. Extrait de Parfum (1921, Ernest Beaux)Every time I open my bottle of the extrait de parfum, I am never quite prepared for its exquisite beauty. It is not just that the materials that comprise No 5 are stunning, though they are the best of what is available today. On the whole, the fragrance has a unique and memorable character."

And smell tells us about people. \"\" Whether we realize it or not, we collect a lot of information about who is around us, based on smell,\"\" says Reed. And about food.

On second thought, as far as I’m concerned, roses are too good to be left only for Valentine’s Day, and whenever I can, I indulge in a bit of pink petal fantasy. Rose perfumes are great to daydream about summer, but my little secret is found in a kitchen cupboard. It’s a bottle of rosewater. I use it in my tea, splash it on my face and sprinkle the bed sheets for a delicious finale to my day. If you want everything coming up roses, it’s hard to resist its honeyed perfume. Rosewater is the by-product of rose oil production. When the rose petals are steam distilled, the watery substance (hydrosol) that remains behind after the essential oil is removed still has a rich scent. It’s prized for its cosmetic and flavor properties, and genuine rosewater smells like a walk through a blooming garden. Commercially, it’s biggest use is in skincare and flavors."

"text": "\"Perfumista tip ~ how to make fragrance last through the day Posted by Angela on 27 February 2012 162 Comments Perfume’s persistence can be a blessing or a curse. It’s Murphy’s Law among perfume enthusiasts that the fragrance we loathe the most will be the one that wears through a night’s sleep and a shower, and clings to our coats through two thunderstorms and a dry cleaning. Conversely, the fragrances we love never seem to last long enough. Sure, I like to wear more than one perfume a day, but it would be nice if a perfume could soldier through a full workday without my having to rummage for a decant for a midday boost. So, I loaded an atomizer with Guerlain Vol de Nuit Eau de Toilette and experimented: The baseline One spray of Vol de Nuit Eau de Toilette alone lasts about four hours before I really have to press my nose to flesh to smell it. It’s lovely enough to be worth it, but no one except me, with effort, can detect it after lunch. The fail Surprisingly, Eau de Toilette sprayed over shea butter gives a maximum two hours of fragrance. After breakfast, I thinly spread pure shea butter, which doesn’t have a lot of odor on its own, over my forearm and misted it with Vol de Nuit. By the time I got to work, the shea butter had eaten the fragrance, and the faint “nutty-stick” odor of shea butter was a little more robust, like it had just had a good meal. Meanwhile, the arm with Eau de Toilette alone was still going strong."

"text": "What do you smell like? I mean, really smell like? And WHY do you smell like you smell like? The natural odors of most animals, besides those like skunk musk, are actually a result of bacteria digesting certain secretions and releasing tell-tale scent compounds. When dogs smell each others’ rear ends, they aren’t really smelling each other (so to speak), they are smelling the characteristic odor products. But why? The obvious reason is that it provides an odorous fingerprint, a tell-tale tail-tell. Dogs, primates and many other animals smell each other to identify strangers from those they know. Do humans do it? We evolved off of all fours long ago, so having scent glands “down below” wouldn’t do us much good, unless you wanted to bend over in the street to say hello."

"text": "Orthopedics Fractures & Broken Bones What to Do About a Smelly Cast Reducing Unwanted Odor By Jonathan Cluett, MD, a board-certified physician Updated February 26, 2018Share Pin Email Print Michael Krinke/istock The use of a cast is a common treatment in orthopedics. Often used for treatment of a broken bone, a cast can also be useful after surgery and for other conditions that require immobilization. Unfortunately, a cast can start to stink, and often the smell can become quite bad. Cast odor tends to be most problematic in young children and athletes. Little kids have a hard time keeping the cast dry. Athletes, on the other hand, may not give up their exercise, causing sweat to accumulate under the cast. So, what can you do if you have a smelly cast? Once a cast starts to smell bad, it is unlikely that it will start to smell good. Here are a few ideas to help with the stench of a stinky cast, but the best advice is to care for your cast early on to keep it from getting smelly!Keep It Dry The key to an odor-free cast is moisture. If you can keep your cast dry, you will likely not have odor problems."

I know that scents really tend to stick to my body, skin and hair. And the last time that I picked up a new scent deodorant, my boyfriend kept asking me what that good smell was until I announced it was coming from under my arms... I guess it's good to know I don't stink, right? But my favorite body wash is by Softsoap (less than $5USD) and it's Pomegranate and Mango. It smells terrific and does stick to my skin.

"text": "\"Health Women's Health How do period cramps feel? Update: I think i just had a period cramp. Yikes!Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Menstrual cramps to me feel like muscle contractions with sharp spasms in my lower abdomen. To sum it up in a few words, it feels like all my insides wants to rip out of my body. Period cramps may radiate to the back or down the thighs, and range from mildly achy to wrenchingly painful. In the severely afflicted, cramping may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, headache, nervousness, fatigue, diarrhea, fainting, bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, backache, and/or dizziness. Women who suffer from cramps seem to produce greater amounts of prostaglandins, which are hormones secreted by the uterine lining, than other women do. These hormones affect the smooth muscle of the uterus, causing an increase in uterine contractions. The contractions interfere with blood flow, reducing the amount of oxygen reaching the uterus and resulting in pain. A large increase in prostaglandins can also cause strong gastrointestinal contractions, which may be responsible for the diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting associated with severe menstrual cramps."

S. women are catching on to the awesomeness of IUDs—but sometimes old myths die hard.by Maria Isabel Rodriguez, MDupdated 09/11/2017After years in unofficial exile, the IUD is finally making a much-deserved comeback in the U. S. The device got a bad reputation mostly due to health problems women experienced using the creepy-looking Dalkon Shield, a poorly designed model of the IUD that’s been off the market for decades. Fortunately, medical providers and researchers, with the help of the media, are making major progress in spreading the word that new models of the IUD are safe, low-maintenance, super-effective, and can be used by most people with a uterus. In spite of all the good news about IUDs, there are still lots of myths and misunderstandings about it rattling around the internet and even among health care providers. Here are 5 of the most common myths I’ve heard—and the reality behind each. Myth 1: The IUD is dangerous—it can cause infections and infertility. The World Health Organization (WHO) has conducted study after study with thousands of women around the world, and all the evidence disproves this myth. The data are totally conclusive: overall, women using an IUD have no increased risk of pelvic infection or infertility compared with women who used other types of birth control (with the exception of condoms, which protect from sexually transmitted infections, a.k.a. STIs). If a health care provider tries to tell you that it’s not safe for you to use an IUD, get a second opinion. On a side note, the WHO studies did discover a factor that is related to infertility: Chlamydia, a common and often silent STI."

"text": "What Is Implantation Cramping and When Does It Happen? By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Implantation cramping happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus. Cramps that happen around the time of implantation are one of the first signs of pregnancy along with light spotting (also called implantation bleeding or implantation spotting). Because implantation cramping can happen just before your period, many women mistake the pelvic pain for the start of their period. Advertisement Most women who are trying to conceive are very keen to notice the first signs of pregnancy. Therefore, being able to tell the difference between cramps caused by implantation and the start of menstruation is important. Because both pregnancy and the menstrual cycle cause fluctuation in your hormone levels, you may experience similar symptoms. These symptoms could be light spotting, abdominal cramping, tender breasts, and mood swings. In this article, you will find out about implantation cramping and what the accompanying symptoms are. The article also answers questions like how long implantation cramping lasts, what implantation cramping feels like, and what are the other early symptoms of pregnancy."

Listenen español Cómo afrontar los problemas menstruales más frecuentes Sometimes having your period can be a pain — literally. Most girls have to deal with PMS, cramps, or headaches around the time of their periods. These problems are usually normal and nothing to worry about. Here are the facts on which period problems are common and normal — and which ones might indicate there's something else going on. What Is PMS? Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is the term for the physical and emotional symptoms that many girls and women get right before their periods begin each month. If you have PMS, you might experience:acnebloatingbeing very tiredbackachessore breastsheadachesconstipationdiarrheafood cravingsdepression or feeling blueirritabilitymood swingsdifficulty concentratingproblems handling stressfeeling tensetrouble sleeping PMS is usually at its worst during the 1 to 2 weeks before a girl's period starts, and it usually disappears when her period begins.

Some insertions feel like just another annual exam. For other women, it’s the worst pain they’ve ever felt. Granted, no one birth control is right for everyone, but the T-shaped IUD has certainly been gaining traction. According to Planned Parenthood, the number of patients using intrauterine devices has increased 91% since 2009. “ It’s so effective and convenient,” Vanessa Cullins, MD, vice president of external medical affairs, says. “ We quote less than a 1% failure rate for the IUD, whereas we usually quote a 5-7% failure rate for birth control pills.” In fact, if you look at this recent New York Times article about birth control effectiveness, the Mirena (or Levonorgestrel IUD) is actually more effective than female sterilization — that is, getting your tubes tied. Right now, there are three types of IUDs on the market — with a fourth on its way. The copper IUD, or Para Gard IUD, is the only form of temporary birth control that doesn’t use hormones, and it lasts up to 12 years. “"

"text": "Breathing and the Autonomic Nervous System Prev NEXT You don't have to think about breathing because your body's autonomic nervous system controls it, as it does many other functions in your body. If you try to hold your breath, your body will override your action and force you to let out that breath and start breathing again. The respiratory centers that control your rate of breathing are in the brainstem or medulla. The nerve cells that live within these centers automatically send signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to contract and relax at regular intervals. However, the activity of the respiratory centers can be influenced by these factors: Oxygen: Specialized nerve cells within the aorta and carotid arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors monitor the oxygen concentration of the blood and feed back on the respiratory centers. If the oxygen concentration in the blood decreases, they tell the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathing. Carbon dioxide: Peripheral chemoreceptors also monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood. In addition, a central chemoreceptor in the medulla monitors the carbon dioxide concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord; carbon dioxide diffuses easily into the CSF from the blood. If the carbon dioxide concentration gets too high, then both types of chemoreceptors signal the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathing. The increased rate of breathing returns the carbon dioxide concentration to normal and the breathing rate then slows down."

The ratio of the carbon dioxide produced over the oxygen consumed is called the respiratory quotient. Hence, the average respiratory quotient is 0.8 . The figure below illustrates the movements of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the lungs and tissue under resting conditions. The figure above illustrates how oxygen and carbon dioxide goes between alveolar air and blood across the respiratory membrane composed of type I epithelial cells of the alveolar walls, endothelial cells of capillaries and the basement membranes sandwiched between them. Diffusion of Gases Partial Pressure of Gases The partial pressure of a gas is the proportion of pressure contributed by an individual gas to the total pressure of a mixture of gases. Partial pressure is found by multiplying:1. Fractional concentration of a gas in a mixture by,2. Total pressure exerted by a gas mixture. The total pressure of air can be described as the sum of the major gases found in air P air = P nitrogen + P oxygen + P water On a molar basis air is 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen assuming zero humidity."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Pulmonology Central Sleep Apnea Syndromes Updated: Oct 10, 2017Author: Kendra Becker, MD, MPH; Chief Editor: Zab Mosenifar, MD, FACP, FCCP more... Share Email Print Feedback Background The term central sleep apnea encompasses a heterogeneous group of sleep-related breathing disorders in which respiratory effort is diminished or absent in an intermittent or cyclical fashion during sleep. [ 1] In most cases, central sleep apnea is associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndromes or is caused by an underlying medical condition, recent ascent to high altitude, or narcotic use. Primary central sleep apnea is a rare condition, the etiology of which is not entirely understood. During polysomnography (PSG), a central apneic event is conventionally defined as cessation of airflow for 10 seconds or longer without an identifiable respiratory effort. In contrast, an obstructive apneic event has a discernible ventilatory effort during the period of airflow cessation. In general, treatment of central sleep apnea is often more difficult than treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and treatment varies according to the specific syndrome. The International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Second Edition (ICSD-3) [ 2] describes several different entities grouped under central sleep apnea with varying signs, symptoms, and clinical and polysomnographic features. Those that affect adults include primary central sleep apnea, Cheyne-Stokes breathing-central sleep apnea (CSB-CSA) pattern, high-altitude periodic breathing, central sleep apnea due to medical conditions other than Cheyne-Stokes, and central sleep apnea due to drugs or substances. The primary sleep apnea of infancy primarily affects premature newborns and is excluded from this discussion. Pathophysiology Knowledge of normal ventilatory control mechanisms is important for understanding the pathophysiology of central sleep apnea."

It adjusts the rate of alveolar ventilation almost exactly to the demands of the body so that the Pa O2 & Pa CO2 are hardly altered even during moderate to strenuous exercise and most other types of respiratory stress. The intensity of the respiratory signals up to and from the respitory center match the needs of the body. The goal of respiration is to maintain proper concentrations of oxygen, CO2, and Hydrogen ions in the tissues, and respiratory activity is highly responsive to changes in these levels.

Learning Objectives Describe the neural mechanism of the respiratory center in respiration control Key Takeaways Key Points The ventral respiratory group controls voluntary forced exhalation and acts to increase the force of inspiration. The dorsal respiratory group (nucleus tractus solitarius) controls mostly inspiratory movements and their timing. Ventilatory rate (minute volume) is tightly controlled and determined primarily by blood levels of carbon dioxide as determined by metabolic rate. Chemoreceptors can detect changes in blood p H that require changes in involuntary respiration to correct. The apneustic (stimulating) and pnuemotaxic (limiting) centers of the pons work together to control rate of breathing. The medulla sends signals to the muscles that initiate inspiration and expiration and controls nonrespiratory air movement reflexes, like coughing and sneezing. Key Termsrespiratory control centers: The medulla which sends signals to the muscles involved in breathing, and the pons which controls the rate of breathing.chemorecepters: These are receptors in the medulla and in the aortic and carotid bodies of the blood vessels that detect changes in blood p H and signal the medulla to correct those changes. Involuntary respiration is any form of respiratory control that is not under direct, conscious control. Breathing is required to sustain life, so involuntary respiration allows it to happen when voluntary respiration is not possible, such as during sleep."

The neurons responsible are located in the medulla. These are close to, but separate, from the neurons that generate the rhythm of breathing. Small changes in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pa CO2) in the systemic arterial blood flowing to the medulla produce pronouced changes in ventilation. The second sensor is the peripheral chemoreceptor, which consists of afferent neurons monitoring the blood in the carotid and aortic bodies. These are close to the baroreceptors, but entirely separate. By contrast with the central chemoreceptor, the peripheral chemoreceptor has little effect on the breathing of a normal person at rest at sea level. But in two important circumstances the peripheral chemoreceptor begins to drive breathing. When the partial pressure of oxygen (Pa O2) falls below about 60 mm Hg.

this control center consists of the medullary rhythmicity area (containing the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) (formerly the inspiratory area) and the ventral respiratory group (VRG) = (formerly the expiratory area) and the pontine respiratory center (formerly the pneumotaxic and the apneustic areas); these collections of neurons cooperate to regulate the rate and depth of breathing as an involuntary unconscious activity in response to the physiological needs of the body for O 2 and CO 2 exchange and for blood acid-base balance.medullary rhythmicity area - A collection of neurons in the reticular formation within the medulla oblongata involved in establishing or modifying the pattern for breathing; within this area are two key components: (1) the ventral respiratory group (VRG) (formerly the inspiratory area) which autorhythmically stimulates spontaneous ventilation, resting or tidal breathing (eupnea), and (2) the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) (formerly the expiratory area) which responds to situations beyond those of the resting or tidal breathing (eupnea) to alter the pattern for ventilation in response to the physiological needs of the body for O 2 and CO 2 exchange and for blood acid-base balance.dorsal respiratory group (DRG) (formerly the inspiratory area) - The collection of motor neurons forming nuclei within the dorsal portion of the medullary rhythmicity area of the reticular formation within the medulla oblongata which are involved in altering the pattern for ventilation in response to the physiological needs of the body for O 2 and CO 2 exchange and for blood acid-base balance; these neurons stimulate neurons in the ventral respiratory group (VRG) to achieve those effects; they are responsive to sensory information from chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.ventral respiratory group (VRG) (formerly the expiratory area) - The collection of autorhythmic motor neurons forming nuclei within the ventral portion of the medullary rhythmicity area of the reticular formation within the medulla oblongata; this group contains both inspiratory and expiratory neurons; the inspiratory neurons stimulate the diaphragm and external intercostals for approximately 2 seconds to cause inspirations and then the antagonistic expiratory neurons fire for approximately 3 seconds to permit passive or stimulate active expirations; thereby inspiratory and expiratory neurons cooperate in a negative feedback control relationship, setting the basic rhythm of respiration (spontaneous ventilation, resting or tidal breathing (eupnea)); VRG neurons may be influenced by the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) for ventilations in situations other than eupnea.pontine respiratory center (formerly pneumotaxic and apneustic areas) - A collection of neurons in the reticular formation within the pons which limit inspiratory duration by sending inhibitory signals to the medullary rhythmicity area reducing duration of inspiratory impulses causing shorter cycles which increases ventilation rate; these pontine respiratory neurons receive input from higher brain centers and peripheral receptors, and their output fine tunes the breathing rhythm during activities such as speaking, sleeping, or exercising.cortical influences - The action of higher, \"\"conscious\"\" centers in the cerebral cortex which permit voluntary control of ventilation by interacting with and over-riding the autonomic centers in the medullary rhythmicity area; examples include the control of ventilation during speech and singing, as well as deliberate forceful inspirations, expirations, or attempts at breath holding; pain and certain emotional states may also influence the rate and depth of ventilation in this fashion.central chemoreceptors - A sensory neuron located within the CNS, usually in the brain stem or hypothalamus, which responds to chemical stimuli; a type of enteroreceptor sensitive to concentration changes of a variety of molecules in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid.peripheral chemoreceptors - A sensory neuron located outside the CNS, usually in the wall of a blood vessel (e.g., the aortic body, the carotid body, the juxtaglomerular apparatus) which responds to chemical stimuli; a type of enteroreceptor sensitive to concentration changes of a variety of molecules in the blood or other body fluids.carotid body - A group of peripheral chemoreceptors located near the bifurcations of the carotid arteries which monitor changes in the oxygen and CO 2 content and p H of the blood and rely that sensory information to the hypothalmus and brain stem to help them control cardiovascular and respiratory functions; other cells in the carotid body respond to blood temperature and to certain chemicals, e.g., nicotine and cyanide.aortic body - A group of peripheral chemoreceptors located in the arch of the aorta which monitor changes in the oxygen and CO 2 content and p H of the blood and rely that sensory information to the hypothalmus and brain stem to help them control cardiovascular and respiratory functions.baroreceptors - A type of mechanoreceptor; a specialized sensory end organ or sensory neuron which responds to mechanical stimuli such as tension (stretching) in the wall of a blood vessel or other tubular organ; important sensors in the regulation of blood pressure.inflation reflex - A relatively rapid and predictable motor response by the skeletal muscles responsible for ventilation which occurs when stretch receptors in the visceral pleura, bronchioles, and alveoli are stimulated by being stretched; the motor response helps regulate the depth of breathing; over-stretching causes apnea, bronchodilation, increased heart rate and peripheral vasoconstriction. Chemoreceptor Control of Breathing Describe:3. The control of respiration (ventilation) by the respiratory center of the brain. The ventral respiratory group (VRG) and the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) within the medullary rhythmicity area cooperate to establish the pattern for spontaneous ventilation and basal rate of ventilation which may be adjusted by impulses from related respiratory control centers in the pons; the ventral respiratory group (VRG) contains both inspiratory and expiratory neurons; the autorythmic inspiratory neurons stimulate the diaphragm and external intercostals for approximately 2 seconds to cause inspirations and then the antagonistic expiratory neurons fire for approximately 3 seconds to permit passive or stimulate active expirations; thereby inspiratory and expiratory neurons cooperate in a negative feedback control relationship, setting the basic rhythm of respiration (spontaneous ventilation, resting or tidal breathing (eupnea)); the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) neurons are involved in altering the pattern for ventilation in response to the physiological needs of the body for O 2 and CO 2 exchange and for blood acid-base balance; these neurons stimulate neurons in the ventral respiratory group (VRG) to achieve those effects; they are responsive to sensory information from chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.4. The cortical, chemical, and neural influences on the respiratory center of the brain. Cortical Influences voluntary controls: conscious decisions to change the rate and depth of breathing associated with speaking, singing, coughing, etc. Chemical Influences changing levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion in the blood are detected and this visceral sensory information is routed to the hypothalamus and medulla where it stimulates or inhibits the action of components of the respiratory center of the brain Neural Influences (a) the medullary rhythmicity center with its authorythmic inspiratory and expiratory neurons sets the basal ventilation rate adjusted to the level of activity and metabolic demands of the body at any given moment (b) the pontine respiratory center neurons limit inspiratory duration by sending inhibitory signals to the medullary rhythmicity area reducing duration of inspiratory impulses causing shorter cycles which increases ventilation rate; these pontine respiratory neurons receive input from higher brain centers and peripheral receptors, and their output fine tunes the breathing rhythm during activities such as speaking, sleeping, or exercising.

This signal may be in the form of an action potential if the chemoreceptor is a neuron (nerve cell), [1] or in the form of a neurotransmitter that can activate a nearby nerve fiber if the chemosensor is a specialized sensory receptor cell, such as the taste receptor in a taste bud [2] [3] or in an internal peripheral chemoreceptor such as the carotid body (ex, in chemotherapy).

Cilia. The submucosal glands of the bronchial lining produce mucus, contributing to the mucous blanket that covers the bronchial epithelium. The ciliated epithelial cells rhythmically beat this mucous blanket toward the trachea and pharynx, where it can be swallowed or expectorated by coughing. ( 1229)Which term is used to identify the movement of gas and air into and out of the lungs? Ventilation. Ventilation is used to identify the mechanical movement of gas or air into and out of the lungs. ( 1232)When an individual aspirates food particles, where would the nurse expect to hear decreased or absent breath sounds? Right lung. The right mainstem bronchus extends from the trachea more vertically than the left main bronchus; therefore aspirated fluids or foreign particles tend to enter the right lung rather than the left. ("

Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide. All aerobic creatures need oxygen for cellular respiration, which uses the oxygen to break down foods for energy and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. Breathing, or \"\"external respiration\"\", brings air into the lungs where gas exchange takes place in the alveoli through diffusion. The body's circulatory system transports these gases to and from the cells, where \"\"cellular respiration\"\" takes place. [ 1] [2]The breathing of all vertebrates with lungs consists of repetitive cycles of inhalation and exhalation through a highly branched system of tubes or airways which lead from the nose to the alveoli. [ 3] The number of respiratory cycles per minute is the breathing or respiratory rate, and is one of the four primary vital signs of life. ["

Commonly recognized sensory systems are those for vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance. In short, senses are transducers from the physical world to the realm of the mind where we interpret the information, creating our perception of the world around us. [ 1]Organisms need information to solve at least three kinds of problems: (a) to maintain an appropriate environment, i.e., homeostasis; (b) to time activities (e.g., seasonal changes in behavior) or synchronize activities with those of conspecifics; and (c) to locate and respond to resources or threats (e.g., by moving towards resources or evading or attacking threats). Organisms also need to transmit information in order to influence another's behavior: to identify themselves, warn conspecifics of danger, coordinate activities, or deceive.

The figure below gives the total atmospheric pressure at any given altitude (some useful numbers from the graph are given below - you are not required to have those memorized). At 2000 m, Patm = 600 mm Hg At 3000 m, the atmospheric pressure (Patm) is 500 mm Hg At 6000 m, the Patm is 320 mm Hg Picture modified from Ganong, Review of Medical Physiology, 20th edition; p. 662. What does this mean to us? Well, let's go back to that nasty alveolar gas equation and see what the big deal is... P AO 2= F IO 2- (P a CO 2/R)We're going to assume that the Pa CO 2 is 40 (but you should be aware that this is not a good assumption!) and that the RQ is 0.8 (okay as far as assumptions go): P AO 2= P IO 2- (P a CO 2/R)P AO 2= (500 mm Hg - 47 mm Hg)21% - (40/0.8)P AO 2 = (453)21% - (50 mm Hg)P AO 2 = (95.1 mm Hg) - (50 mm Hg)P AO 2= 45.1 mm Hg This means that at an altitude of 3000 m, the blood sent to the lungs is coming back to the heart after equilibrating to a value of 45 mm Hg - in other words, it's not a whole lot better than the venous blood that was sent there in the first place. Assuming a normal hemoglobin of 14 g/dl and a saturation of about 75% (from the Hb-O2curve), we have in our arterial blood: Oxygen content = (Oxygen Capacity) (% saturation) (14 g Hb/dl blood x 1.34 ml O 2/g Hb) (75%) (18.76 ml O 2/dl blood) (75%)or14.1 ml O 2/ dl blood. This is sufficient oxygen content to meet our metabolic needs, as long as we don't exert ourselves. There will be hypoxic symptoms, but they are not extreme at this point. Notice that we calculated this for an altitude of 3000 meters."

Date: Fri Nov 10 13:29:20 2000 Posted By: Chris Atherton, Grad student, Imaging science, Dept of Imaging Science, University of Manchester Area of science: Medicine ID: 973707962. Me Message: When you breathe in, the oxygen (O2) in the air seeps into the blood circulating just below the surface of your lungs. That blood is then circulated around your body to reach all its cells (which depend on oxygen, amongst other things, to stay alive). At the same time, you are breathing out carbon dioxide (CO2, produced by the body's cells during normal metabolism). If you don't breathe fast enough, your body's cells continue to absorb oxygen from the blood, but they do so faster than you are taking it in - so the level of O2 in your blood decreases. Because you are not breathing out enough CO2 either, its levels increase, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3) in the blood. The part of the brainstem known as the medulla contains the brain's respiratory centre, which is in charge of the (entirely automatic) process of breathing. A nearby part of the medulla, and small bundles of cells just off the carotid artery and aorta (known as the carotid and aortic bodies, respectively) contain chemoreceptors, which are specialised cells that are programmed to signal the brain when local chemical conditions change. Peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies detect the increase in acidity (i.e. lower p H) caused by higher levels of CO2 (and reduced O2) when you are not breathing fast enough."

[ 1]The most important function of breathing is the supplying of oxygen to the body and the removal of its waste product of carbon dioxide. Under most conditions, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) or concentration of carbon dioxide, controls the respiratory rate. The peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide are located in the arterialaortic bodies and the carotid bodies.

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and a flawlessly bright smile indicates health, vigor, and of course, beauty. With each decade that we age, our teeth can get up to one to two shades darker. The color pigments inside teeth become more prominent as the dentin structure below the enamel grows. Consider the enamel to be like translucent glass, with the dentin structure shining through underneath, giving us our tooth color. Genetics play a large role in the darkening of our teeth extrinsically and intrinsically, but environmental factors, oral hygiene, and nutrition also contribute to the shade of our teeth.

Google +Posted on: Sunday, January 5th 2014 at 9:30 am Written By: Eleni Roumeliotou This article is copyrighted by Green Med Info LLC, 2017 Visit our Re-post guidelines Regarded as a legendary healing compound, scientific evidence shows that hydrogen peroxide mouthwash and bleaching is actuallyharmful for teeth and may cause tissue irritation and teeth sensitivity and compromise long-term dental health. Hydrogen peroxide is praised for its antiseptic and healing properties. In fact, there is a new urban myth proclaiming that hydrogen peroxide is universally beneficial for all the body organs and tissues. Regarding dental health, this couldn't be further from the truth as evidence shows that hydrogen peroxide is actually toxic for the cells in the inner part of the teeth, also known as the dental pulp. Without a doubt, hydrogen peroxide does a really good job at bleaching and disinfecting teeth; hydrogen peroxide- based bleaching gels are essential for dentists and there is solid evidence demonstrating the efficacy of these protocols. On the other hand, there is a lot of uncontrolled information and advice, recommending hydrogen peroxide as an ideal everyday mouthwash. Taking into account that over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide concentrations can be as high as the formulas used by dentists in bleaching sessions (20-30%) and the growing popularity of hydrogen peroxide as an alternative therapy, the danger of potential long-term teeth damage by using high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide as a casual mouthwash are unknown, underestimated and largely under-discussed. Hydrogen peroxide releases superoxide anions (powerful free radicals), which are responsible for its significant bleaching and antiseptic properties. However, its beneficial properties stop right here because research shows that it can penetrate the tooth enamel and dentin and reach the very inner tooth chamber called dental pulp."

Years later, you can still find a bottle in my medicine cabinet as an inexpensive way to whiten teeth, and disinfect cuts and scrapes. What is hydrogen peroxide? Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a pale blue liquid, which appears colorless, and is slightly more viscous than water. It’s a weak acidmade up of hydrogen and oxygen and a strong oxidizer often used as a cleaning agent. When used topically, hydrogen peroxide foams and fizzes due to the enzyme catalase, according to Medical Daily. This reaction has a bleaching and disinfecting effect that works for several applications.

Although they are similar, they should not be used in place of one another and care should be used when using either product. Rubbing alcohol is usually a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol that is commonly rubbed on the skin. Hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom than water, and is normally sold to the general public in a 3 percent solution with water.

It is often used to remove bacteria from medical devices. It is also frequently used by medical professionals to cleanse the skin of germs before piercing the skin. Rubbing alcohol has many non-medical uses including tick removal and cleaning sticky substances. Electronic devices may also be wiped with rubbing alcohol as it evaporates quickly and cleans well. Hydrogen Peroxide Uses Hydrogen peroxide is a disinfecting solution, but is also known as a bleaching agent and stain remover."

Having great teeth is very important in our culture today — hence the growing number of people using white strips and whitening paste as part of their oral care at home or turning to professional in-office whitening treatments. Your teeth are one of the first things people notice; they’re a sign of health as well as confidence. When making a first impression, most worry about having aged, crooked or discolored teeth, which can send a signal that you don’t really care about yourself. Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful smile with white, sparkling teeth? But what’s the best way to whiten your teeth? Some people — no matter how many times they brush their teeth — have teeth stains from habits like drinking coffee or tea and/or smoking. Oftentimes yellow- or brown-tinted teeth can also point to a larger problem: unhealthy gums, thinning enamel and overall poor dental hygiene. Whitening the teeth alone won’t help protect the teeth or gums from cavities or diseases, such as gingivitis — so while white teeth are certainly a nice thing to have, it helps to keep things in perspective. As one dentist reporting for the Dentistry IQ website puts it, “It is a misnomer that whiter teeth are the same as healthy teeth, since tooth color has very little to do with the health of the tooth."

And if you do, did you know that there are many natural remedies that help grow back your receding gums in just a few weeks? Receding gums are basically just that – gums that have receded. It occurs when the gum tissues around your teeth wear away, and the gums recede backward. This exposes a larger surface area of your tooth, which can lead to problems like bacteria build up and tooth pain and sensitivity. You can even lose teeth if your receding gums get really bad – the damage inflicted on the supporting tissue and bone structures of your teeth will be compromised, and can lead to this scenario. Symptoms of Receding Gums It takes time for your gums to recede – it isn’t something that happens overnight. If you have really sensitive teeth, receding gums could be the problem. If your teeth also appear larger (because more of them are exposed) than they were a few years ago, it is also likely that you have receding gums, and should get to treatment right away (naturally, of course!). Here are some symptoms of receding gums:– Tooth sensitivity – Tooth appearing larger than usual – Tooth aches or pain What Causes Receding Gums?• Gum diseases: gum diseases like periodontal disease, where bacteria infect your gums, damage the gum tissue and your teeth’s supporting bone."

"text": "White Strips for Teeth: Safe for Kids and Teens?by Jae Curtis If your child's teeth are looking less than pearly white, it might be tempting to whiten them in the same way you do yours: with whitening strips. But before you apply those strips to your child's teeth, you should learn a little more about how they work and the possible side effects of applying them on kids. You might use these strips perfectly, but a child may not have the same abilities. Understanding the risks and what the experts say might encourage you to think twice about letting your child use white strips for teeth-bleaching purposes. Hydrogen Peroxide White strips work by coating the teeth in a hydrogen peroxide solution for anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on package's directions. It's no big deal, right? For kids, the answer may not be so simple. Hydrogen peroxide in low concentrations is typically safe in adult products, but these at-home bleaching products have up to a 13-percent hydrogen peroxide concentration, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). The higher the concentration, the greater chance that bleaching products can have an adverse affect on your child. Lack of Clear Data White strips for teeth are discouraged for kids and teens for a few reasons."

Luckily compared to urine and hair drug test s, the saliva drug test for marijuana is the easiest drug test to pass. However, if you are not properly informed about, and prepared for, the saliva (swab) drug test, you might easily fail it. There are two facts you need to take into consideration if you want to pass your saliva drug test. These are: One: Marijuana can be detected in saliva tests up to 24 hours after your last joint. So, if your last joint was more than 24 hours before your saliva drug test, you most likely will pass. If you abstain from marijuana for at least 48 hours before your test, you have a ‘ very high chance’ of passing. Moreover, you need to brush your teeth and gums thoroughly and use a mouthwash like Listerine several times in order to get rid of any trace of marijuana. If you want make sure your saliva is “clean”, you should take a saliva oral liquid screening kit test at home."

Like a shiny new watch or a sparkling personality, white teeth are an ornamentation. Both men and women are attracted to a bright white smile, concludes a study in the journal PLOS One. Additional research has shown job applicants with white teeth are more likely to be hired than yellow-toothed applicants. From whitening toothpastes and over-the-counter strips to dental office procedures, all tooth-whitening measures employ hydrogen peroxide to clean away stains. “ The only differences are the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide employed and how they’re held against your teeth,” explains Dr. Matt Messina, an American Dental Association spokesperson who practices dentistry in Cleveland. Of course, cost is also a factor. Starting with the least-potent (but least-expensive) whitener, Messina says toothpastes contain 1% to 1.5% concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. “ That’s adequate to clean surface stains,” he says, “but it won’t penetrate your tooth enamel.” The enamel tends to hold the deepest, hardest-to-remove blemishes—that patina of black coffee or red wine that gradually accumulates on your smile like vehicle pollution on the sides of old brick buildings."

Hermit crabs are omnivores, which means they will eat almost anything when they need to, but that does not mean that you should feed them anything. Avoid Ethoxyquin and chemicals. Keep in mind what they would eat in the wild like fruits, fish, seaweed, wood and even bark and leaves. Remember, each crab has different preferences. With fresh fruit treats inside the tank, remember to clean out daily. The hermies get all messy and the tank will stink, especially if there is fresh seafood such as prawns."

"text": "\"Home » Library & Store » AWI Quarterly » 2009 Spring Hermits: The Unfortunate Victims of Society It was an unusual discovery. As the mercury soared to triple digits last October in Yuma, Ariz., a hermit crab later named \"\"Hermie\"\" was found near a drip irrigation line in a state park - a victim of the crustacean pet trade. More than likely, he was purchased at a local pet store and then dumped near a canal behind the park’s headquarters before being rescued. A few weeks earlier and some 2,500 miles away in Ocean City, N. J., a young boy was seen with a single hermit crab purchased as a vacation souvenir from a local beach shop. This crab was a victim, not just because his shell was tastelessly painted to resemble a soccer ball, but because he was one of thousands of other hermit crabs bought as mementos. The thoughtless acquisition of these creatures isn’t confined to beach retail: In March at the annual conference of the National Science Teacher’s Association, Carolina Biological Supply gave away hermit crabs as a promotional gimmick. What is the fate of these crabs? Odds are they’re already dead, or otherwise forgotten and dying. Despite this likelihood, the trade in hermit crabs remains a booming business as people seek out \"\"exotic\"\" pets who won’t pee in the house or vomit on the carpet. There are 500 to 600 species of hermit crabs, most of whom are native to tropical climates like the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Australia."

"text": "Land hermit crabs prefer to stay on the sand for the most part, heading for water periodically to take a drink or a quick dip. Land hermit crabs are designed to live outside the water except for reproduction, their bodies require hydration inside and out. Keep the right kind of water available for your pet. Scooping Action Hermit crabs usually have a large claw and a smaller claw, both of which are capable of scooping up water for the crab to drink. A hermit crab can drink sitting in a pool of water or sitting alongside, reaching in with a claw and scooping up water. He usually scoops water into his mouth, although you might see him bring water toward his gills occasionally. Types of Water Two pools of water keep pet hermit crabs hydrated and happy. One pool should be freshwater and the other should be saltwater. Although your crab normally drinks freshwater, don't worry if he takes a gulp or two of saltwater; he won't overdose on the salty stuff. Use shallow plastic dishes that are easy for the crab to climb into without tipping them over."

Let me state for clarity, that this is not molting! What your crab is doing is responding to all the stress of being taken from his tropical home, taken to a wholesaler's and then shipped to a pet store. That is a lot of stress on any animal (even people!) and for a small animal like a hermit crab, it can have devastating consequences. Is This Contagious? No, it is not usually contagious, unless all the crabs came from the same place and were subjected to the same conditions. For this reason you should always select your crabs carefully, no matter where you buy them.

There was a broken coconut on the beach, and they were swarming it, literally 15-20 of them all over the open coconut eating it.... they made little groves where they were eating. I took pictures... it was really pretty cool. So.... I guess they eat RAW coconut... remember they naturally live on/near a tropical beach, so they will eat coconuts, perhaps a soft non-acidic fruit like a peach or plum, grasses, etc. I'd cut a small fruit or fresh coconut and put it in the cage... store the rest in fridge, and change every day or 2."

"text": "Hermit Crab Tips MOLTINGMy Hermit is Molting What do I do? LEAVE HIM ALONE? YESHermit crabs need to isolate themselves to be able to molt. They will often climb under the sand (which we recommend since it is their natural environment) or sometimes a piece of wood. They like a moist environment for this. They are protecting themselves from predators when they become soft. They will completely loose their outer shell and shed it and grow a new skin which hardens to a shell. Their exoskeletons are usually found near the molting crab. It looks similar to a dead crab but is hollow if you look real close. Do not remove it as they eat it when they are finished."

Most species have long, spirally curved abdomens, which are soft, unlike the hard, calcified abdomens seen in related crustaceans. The vulnerable abdomen is protected from predators by a salvaged empty seashell carried by the hermit crab, into which its whole body can retract.

[ 4] The tip of the hermit crab's abdomen is adapted to clasp strongly onto the columella of the snail shell. [ 5] Most hermit crabs are nocturnal. Environment [ edit]Hermit crabs can be divided into two groups: [6]Four hermit crabs in an aquarium The first group is the marine hermit crabs (with a single species, Clibanarius fonticola, in freshwater).

A twenty to forty gallon tank is good for a dozen small or three to four large hermits. Hermit crabs are social animals and should have at least two other crabs with them. The proper home for your crabs should be one that holds in humidity, but still lets in fresh air. A fish tank or reptile aquarium usually does nicely. You can even rinse out that old leaking tank from the attic and use it! Acrylic terrariums tend to work better, as they hold the humidity and heat more efficiently.2 Make sure your hermit’s home is the right humidity. You should buy a hygrometer (humidity gauge).

Store-Bought Food Store-bought food for mice contains grains, such as barley and millet, which are also rich in fiber. It also contains protein, such as beans and soy, depending on which type of food you find at your local pet food shop. Even if you feed your pet mouse a high quality mouse food, versus a cheaper commercial brand, it is important to also give your little pal fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly crunchy ones.

But a common concern among ball python owners everywhere is getting their pet snake to eat regularly. What Do Ball Pythons Eat? Ball pythons, like other snakes, eat varying sizes of prey depending on how big they are. Smaller and younger snakes may eat large crickets but should ideally be eating pinkies and fuzzies until they grow larger. Adult ball pythons will eat adult mice and rats when they get big enough. ( Some ball python enthusiasts feel strongly that you should only feed various life stages of rats throughout your ball python's life and never offer any insects or mice). How Do I Know What Size Prey My Ball Python Should Be Eating? Typically a snake will easily consume prey that is as wide as the widest part of your snake. Therefore, if the middle of his body is one inch wide he should be able to consume a large mouse that is one inch wide without any trouble."

"text": "Smelling A Fishy Odor Even When There Is No Fish Between Your Thighs December 14, 2012 Sheryl Eleazar A healthy vagina is said to smell a distinct odor at a particular time throughout her menstrual cycle. This whiff is due to the secretions of the apocrine glands, which are also found in the armpit and causes body odor, and vaginal glands. A woman’s physical activities and the kinds of food she consumes may also affect her feminine smell. How she dresses, how hygienic she is, what her bowel habits are and also the level of bacteria present in her vagina are also factors that affect how her private part smells. Researchers have found that women secrete at least one other attracting pheromone from their vagina. You should not be too bothered when you perceive an odor from your vagina. You should not even try to hide it by spraying perfume on it. Doing so might only block out the pheromones for attracting your man. The vagina has its special smell, but when that odor becomes quite intense and rather unpleasant, you should know that there must be something wrong. When you smell a fishy odor between your legs the smart thing to do is to see your gynecologist to diagnose the cause of your smelly vagina."

"text": "\"Understanding a Dog's Senses A dog's nose close-up A big part of understanding your dog is understanding its senses and accepting that they are indeed different than humans. Both humans and dogs have the same three senses: sight, hearing and smelling, however while most humans communicate by hearing, seeing, and then smelling, dogs primarily communicate by smelling, seeing and lastly hearing. Dogs also have a universal sense which humans do not have, where they can feel the energy (emotions) of the other beings around them. The statistics below will vary slightly with different types of breeds, for example a sight hound may have slightly better vision and a coonhound type of dog may have a slightly better sense of smell than other types. Let’s take a look at each of a dog’s senses. The Nose A dog interprets the world predominantly by smell, whereas a human interprets it by sight. As a human I cannot even imagine what that would be like to get most of my information from what I smell. This is why a blind or deaf dog can get along just fine if allowed to be a dog, given the proper leadership and exercise and their sensory whiskers are not cut off when they are groomed. While a dog's brain is only one-tenth the size of a human brain, the part that controls smell is 40 times larger than in humans. A dog’s sense of smell is about 1,000 to 10,000,000 times more sensitive than a human’s (depending on the breed)."

( Wikipedia.com)Pheromones have been demonstrated clearly in other species, but their existence and ability to affect humans is still under debate. Several studies have been conducted that have reached different conclusions, but some pheromone effects seen in other mammals are definitely present in humans. Many contradictory studies failed important aspects of pheromone experiments, such as common odor or musk control, so these studies are disregarded. Although exact conclusions differ, most studies have found that human sweat or putative pheromones increase physiological arousal, one way or another. This idea that something we can't even consciously smell is affecting our behavior is horrifying to some people, but in reality we are controlled by the combination of all our senses! Think of proprioception, the body sense. We are not always conscious of the fact that we are thinking about our position in space, but we are! Personally, I think pheromones are another sensory system (separate from olfactory) that we just didn't have the technology to recognize until recently. It's important to realize that any odorant can affect behavior but pheromones are produced by conspecifics (members of the same species) and play a role in communication."

Cats lift their lips after a particularly long sniff and hold the mouth slightly open to sniff cat pheromones. Flehmen--a German word that means \"\"lip curl\"\"--might be mistaken for an aggressive snarl but is a perfectly normal and peaceful cat behavior. How Cats Sniff Pheromones Cats have a second scenting mechanism called Jacobson's organs, or vomeronasal organs. These are found between the hard palate of the mouth and the septum of the nose. Jacobson's organs link to the hypothalamus in the brain that serves as sort of a switchboard to direct information to other areas. Tiny ducts connect them to openings behind kitty's teeth in the roof of the mouth. Other Creatures That Have Jacobson's Organs Cats are not the only critters with Jacobson's Organs.

"text": "Can Bees Smell Fear? Bees are very sensitive to the way people behave so if you act calmly rather than running around and slapping your hand around you are less likely to be stung or frighten a bee. However, the statement that bees can “smell fear” has been used in many cases and when taken literally is kind of silly. While smell does play a role in hive defense, the odor that the bees sense is not necessarily the “smell of fear” but the smell of something foreign that could possibly become a threat to the hive or the workers. Fear is defined as an emotion, an internal response that is generated by a being’s nervous system when it encounters a situation it perceives to be dangerous. The word smell however has been broadly defined in some cases as being a distinctive quality characterizing something. It is very likely that the statement that animals or insects such as bees can “smell fear” developed from the idea that animals are able to sense if a nearby creature is acting strangely. As a result of an alarm response to this action, the bee uses pheromones to alert its members of the family group to the presence of an intruder or potential threat. In this manner, the “fear scent” produced by a honeybee worker does not provoke aggression by a predator; instead it functions to protect the hive and its other workers. The detection of a foreign odor by a honeybee worker may in fact be something that is enough to elicit an alarm secretion."

Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to body or life. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response ), which in extreme cases of fear ( horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis. In humans and animals, fear is modulated by the process of cognition and learning. Thus fear is judged as rational or appropriate and irrational or inappropriate. An irrational fear is called a phobia. Psychologists such as John B. Watson, Robert Plutchik, and Paul Ekman have suggested that there is only a small set of basic or innate emotions and that fear is one of them."

Bryant Furlow, published March 1, 1996 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016SHARETWEETEMAILMOREAfter long dismissing the search for a human pheromone as folly, scientists have begun to take a second look at how human body odor influences sexual attraction. The magic scent is not some romantic elixir but the aromatic effluence of our immune system. The only trouble is we don't give it half a chance. How do we humans announce, and excite, sexual availability? Many animals do it with their own biochemical bouquets known as pheromones. \"\" Why do bulls and horses turn up their nostrils when excited by love ?\"\" Darwin pondered deep in one of his unpublished notebooks. He came to believe that natural selection designed animals to produce two, and only two, types of odors—defensive ones, like the skunk's, and scents for territorial marking and mate attracting, like that exuded by the male musk deer and bottled by perfumers everywhere. The evaluative sniffing that mammals engage in during courtship were clues that scent is the chemical equivalent of the peacock's plumage or the nightingale's song—finery with which to attract mates."

This sense is mediated by specialized sensory cells of the nasal cavity of vertebrates, and, by analogy, sensory cells of the antennae of invertebrates. For air-breathing animals, the olfactory system detects volatile or, in the case of the accessory olfactory system, fluid-phase chemicals. For water-dwelling organisms, e.g., fish or crustaceans, the chemicals are present in the surrounding aqueous medium. Olfaction, along with taste, is a form of chemoreception. The chemicals themselves which activate the olfactory system, generally at very low concentrations, are called odors .. Contents [ show]History Edit As described by the Roman philosopher Lucretius (1st Century BCE), different odors are attributed to different shapes and sizes of odor molecules that stimulate the olfactory organ. The modern counterpart to that theory was the cloning of olfactory receptor proteins by Linda B. Buck and Richard Axel (who were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2004), and subsequent pairing of odor molecules to specific receptor proteins. Each odor receptor molecule recognizes only a particular molecular feature or class of odor molecules. Mammals have about a thousand genes expressing for odor reception. [ 1] Of these genes, only a portion are functional odor receptors."

By Jane Harrison-Hohner, RN, RNPGoodshoot In 1971, Martha Mc Clintock, a young graduate student, published an article called “Menstrual Synchrony and Suppression” in the science journal Nature. Her study population was the women in her dormitory. Her findings stated that over time, women who lived together tended to cycle together. Since that time, the subject has expanded to include studies about the role of pheromones as triggers for menstrual synchrony. So as many of our readers are returning to college, and many have female housemates, let’s take a look at menstruation as a group process. What is menstrual synchrony? Loosely defined, menstrual synchrony means that women’s cycles “sync up” so that roommates, dorm residents, bunk mates in the military, or mothers and daughters begin to adjust cycle lengths such that females begin to be on their periods at the same time. Some reported adjustments in cycles included: two days closer together over a four to six-month interval (Mc Clintock, 1971) and a 1.4 day shortening (Stern & Mc Clintock, 1998). This is not a dramatic change."

Bees also use odors to help locate their hive, or their new home after swarming. To humans this pheromone smells lemony. When a bee stings, she releases an odor called an alarm pheromone to alert others to the danger. This alarm pheromone smells like bananas and attracts other bees to come to the defense of the hive.

"text": "\"THE OVERSTORY LAYER OF THE RAINFOREST CANOPYBy Rhett Butler | Last updated 30, 2012 The overstory consists of giant emergent trees that tower above the surrounding canopy. These trees are huge, at least by tropical standards, some exceeding a height of 213 feet (65 meters) with horizontal limbs that stretch over 100 feet (30 m). These trees live in a different climate from the trees of the canopy. The air is much drier and moderately strong winds blow through their branches. These overstory species have adapted to take advantage of the wind for seed dispersal and typically the seeds of these species are light and equipped with some sort of mechanism to allow the winds to carry the seeds great distances away from the parent tree. The Kapok (Ceiba), or Silk-cotton tree, of South America releases its seeds attached to cotton-like material, which drifts in the wind currents for miles before reaching earth. Before fruiting, the tree sheds all its leaves so breezes pass unimpeded through its branches. In Asia, the seeds of emergent tree species Dipterocarps are equipped with \"\"wings\"\" that cause the spinning seed to slow as it falls and enable it to be carried long distances by the breeze. Emergent tree in Venezuela (Photo by R. Butler). These emergent tree species are often covered with epiphytes (non-parasitic plants which take no nutrients from the host plant but use it for support)."

Different lifestyle needs among various eagles result in variable measurements from species to species. Many forest-dwelling eagles, including Harpy and Philippine eagles, have relatively short wingspans, a feature necessary for being able to maneuver in quick, short bursts through dense forested habitats. On the other hand, eagles which are found almost strictly in open country have relatively long wings for their size – White-tailed eagle or Golden eagle.

This species of sea krait is the most widely distributed of the Laticauda complex which includes the related species, Laticauda colubrina and Laticauda saintgirosi. The breeding range of banded sea kraits is limited to the Australian and Oriental Oceanic geographic ranges. Because they inhabit coral reefs and live mostly off the coast of small islands, they have a patchy geographic distribution, a characteristic off most sea snake species. Generally, they are widespread through Indo-Australian Archipelago, the Bay of Bengal, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. More specifically, the breeding range extends westward to the the Andaman and Nicobor Islands and northward to Taiwan and the Miyako and Yaeyaema island groups in the southwestern part of the Ryukyu Archipelago in southern Japan. They are present off the coast of Thailand but only on its western coast. Their eastern limit is Palua and they are present on the island groups from the Solomon Islands to Tonga in the southwestern Pacific. Their distribution is heavily reliant on several key factors including the presence of coral reefs, sea currents, suitable terrestrial shelter, and paleography. They are not found in the Atlantic and Caribbean oceanic regions. ("

Standing more than 3 feet tall, this is the tallest eagle in the world, and it’s shaggy brown crest give it a rather regal appearance, deserving of the Philippines National Bird. The Philippine Eagle occupies huge territories in order to find sufficient prey, mainly Philippine Colugos on Mindanao but more varied on Luzon where the colugos are absent, and here Philippine Long-tailed Macaques (hence the alterative name Monkey-eating Eagle), flying-foxes and cloud-rats are favoured snacks. Sadly habitat loss and persecution have reduced the population of Philippine Eagles to a level where they are considered Critically Endangered, with perhaps as few as 90 pairs surviving. Fortunately for visiting birders, the Philippine Eagle can be reliable seen at Mount Kitanglad in Bukidnon Province in Mindanao, where knowledgeable local guides can help scour the montane forests for a heart-stopping encounter with the world’s largest eagle.2) Palawan Peacock Pheasant Palawan Peacock Pheasant.

It was caused by American demands that Spain resolve peacefully the insurrection in Cuba, which Spain was unable to do. The explosion of the American battleship \"\"Maine\"\" raised tensions but was not the main cause of the war, nor was \"\"yellow journalism\"\" in New York City that harped on Spanish atrocities. The war ended after quick, decisive naval and military victories for the United States in the Philippines and Cuba.

It’s a rather unique creature whose coat actually changes color depending on the season. Due to its slow speed, however, it is a welcome meal for predators and an easy target for hunters. Its population hovers around 1,600.24Hawaiian Monk Seal One of only two monk seal species left on Earth, the small population of about 1,100 individuals is threatened by human encroachment, very low levels of genetic variation, entanglement in fishing nets, marine debris, disease, and past commercial hunting for skins.23Mountain Gorilla The mountain gorilla is primarily found in various regions all across Africa namely Uganda, Rwanda, and Virunga. They have thicker and longer fur, which makes them easily adaptable to cold environments. Aside from poaching, their population of 880 has decreased due to traps, kidnapping, loss of habitat, interaction with tourists, being killed for meat, and even lack of food.22Island Fox The island fox is small, colorful, and primarily found on the Channel Islands of California where many of them exist in packs. Some of their subspecies can be found uniquely on each of the six islands located within the area, which amounts to a total of only 700.21Bactrian Camel Two humps are indeed better than one, especially if you are looking for a pack animal, but it certainly is a lot rarer."

It was formerly known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, as reports from natives told that the raptor preyed exclusively on monkeys. This was later found to be incorrect as more recent studies have revealed the species to prey on a variety of animals ranging from rodents and bats to pigs and monitor lizards. Endemic to the Philippines, the eagle’s small, rapidly declining population has been feared close to extinction for the past 40 years. In light of this, it recently acquired the status of the National Bird of the Philippines, which has helped greatly to increase awareness of the bird and its plight.

"text": "What Do Hawks Eat? – Where Do Hawks Live? Most people aren’t actually aware of what do hawks eat. Hawks are the large birds of prey that look similar to the eagles though slightly shorter. These birds are widespread all throughout the globe except in Polar Regions or Antarctica. Like eagles they also have splendid eyesight and sharp talons. Flying at a speed of 120 mph, hawks don’t often give second chance to their prey. They identify their prey with 99% precision. These types of species hunt with a lot of patience. Hawks are by far one of the most intelligent birds of prey."

In some ways the Gold Award is more difficult award to earn than Eagle Rank. Like the Eagle Scout, a Gold Awardee must earn a progression of awards first, which are designed to increase a girl's abilities, confidence, and knowledge so that she can take on a \"\"Gold Award Project\"\". Earning badges along the way is similar for both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Both Eagle Scouts and Gold Awardees are able to be upgraded by 1 rank when joining the military. It would be nice if other employers would recognize these awards in some way as well. The Eagle Project is supposed to be a \"\"leadership project\"\" and should demonstrate that the boy can be a leader of others in doing a service project that benefits another person or organization. Boy Scouts says that Eagle Projects average about 160 hours of work. That's impressive. But, the individual boy doesn't usually spend 160 hours on his project."

Gentle as a domestic and slow as a turtle, it is a reliable work-animal like the elephant and is used for tilling rice fields. More than 750 species of birds, more than those in Australia, Japan, or any other country of Southeast Asia, are found in the Philippines. The biggest Philippine bird is the Sharpe's Crane (Crus antigone sharpei), known as tipol in Luzon and labong in the Visayas. It is a wading bird, with very long legs and neck, and is almost as tall as a man. Its color is pearl gray, with bright scarlet plumage on its upper neck. The largest eagle in the world, called the monkey-eating eagle (Pithecopaga jefferyi), is found in the jungles of Luzon and Mindanao. It is the \"\"King of Philippine Birds\"\".

"text": "U. S. Coinage for the Philippines“Remember the Maine” was the rallying cry which led the United States into the Spanish-American War of 1898. Although later investigations suggested that the explosion which sank the battleship U. S. S. Maine at Havana, Cuba was probably caused by the spontaneous combustion of coal dust rather than a Spanish saboteur, Americans of that time were itching for a fight. Cuba was the last of Spain’s New World colonies, and the Cubans had been fighting for their independence since 1895. Spanish atrocities against the rebels enraged American opinion makers, and the intervention of the United States into this struggle was probably inevitable; the Maine catastrophe only hastened it. Backed into a corner by the Americans’ demand for complete withdrawal, Spain somewhat reluctantly declared war on the United States on April 24, 1898. Exactly one week later, on May 1, Commodore George E. Dewey and his ships confronted the Spanish fleet within Manila Bay, Philippine Islands, another of Spain’s few remaining outposts. His nearly total destruction of the Spanish fleet was performed without the loss of a single American life, and U. S. Army troops soon went ashore to occupy the islands. After similar though more costly American victories in Cuba, Spain ultimately sued for peace. A formal treaty was signed late in 1898 which granted independence to Cuba and ceded Puerto Rico, Guam and The Philippines to the United States. A protracted guerilla war then followed between American troops and the Filipinos, who had already proclaimed the islands an independent republic."

There are numerous cultivars that vary in height, bloom time, flower color and other characteristics. They are most known for their bright colored flowers that have a sweet fragrance. However, they do suffer from diseases and insect problems in the garden setting. About Phlox Garden phlox are United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hardy in Zones 3 to 8. They prefer full sun and bloom in late summer. They range in height from 2 to 4 feet. The blooms grow in clusters and have a light, sweet smell. They prefer well-drained soil and need to be watered thoroughly during dry spells. Phlox need to be fertilized in early spring and again in late fall with a low-nitrogen fertilizer."

We refer to these are known as deer resistant plants, which for the most part are generally passed by. The more of these you have growing, the less spraying you should have to do. As a general rule of thumb, deer will not be attracted to certain groups of plants:fuzzy leavespungent smellslots of hard, sharp thorns Planting Deer Resistant Plants Does Help Deer in different areas seem to be attracted to different plants. This could be due to a sudden shortage of food caused by bad weather. It could also be caused by the different plants available in the wild the deer are accustomed to eating, which will vary from place to place. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a deer proof garden or landscape without a really tall fence, or an electric fence. Just like any starving creature, if the deer are hungry enough – they will eat anything that isn’t poisonous to them.

I am using genus section divisions that reflect that rather than strict taxonomy and listing species and cultivars alphabetically within each section for the sake of ease of reference. For botanical descriptions and keys see Wherry 1955 and other texts. In general the taxonomy follows the USDA Plants Database, except for P. ovata, which has recently been changed back from P. latifolia . There is excellent information on cultivation and propagation of the smaller phlox in Foster and Foster 1990. Large Phlox These species seem to fall into two natural groups, which I will call the paniculata-maculata group and the ovata-pulchra group. Paniculata- Maculata Group These species have foliage that in fall dies down completely or to short overwintering shoots (at least in USDA Zone 6 and north). Seed germination occurs within a year of sowing, sometimes without chilling. The cotyledons are noticeably narrower in proportion than in the next group."

Photo by Erica Glasener. If you grow vegetables, herbs or flowers, at some point you've probably experienced what happens when your plants bolt. Bolting, defined as “when plants grow quickly, stop flowering and set seeds,” commonly applies to crops like lettuce and spinach, but may happen with your flowers too. Weather often is a factor in bolting. As temperatures rise in late spring through early summer, cool season crops naturally quit putting energy into foliage growth, \"\"realizing\"\" they'd better come up with some seed if they want to keep the species going. But as a gardener, you can try several techniques to keep your vegetables and annuals producing over a longer period of time.

"text": "\"Landscaping Basics Plant Profile: Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata)A Favorite Spring-Flowering Ground Cover By David Beaulieu Updated 02/22/18Share Pin Email David Beaulieu Creeping phlox is a familiar spring-blooming creeping plant that is frequently seen in rock gardens, growing from crevices in stone walls, or planted as a ground cover to blanket areas of the ground. Surely the best feature of creeping phlox is its flower production. Not only are the individual blooms pretty, but there are also so many of them that the display is truly something special to behold. The flowers are so densely packed that it can be hard to make out the plants' foliage from a distance; once blooming is completed, the tiny leaves remain green for much of the year. Description In spring, creeping phlox plants produce small, fragrant flowers in dense clusters. The colors available are red, white, blue, rose, lavender, purple, and variegated, in addition to the signature pink color. Creeping phlox plants reach, at most, 6 inches in height and can spread out up to 2 feet to form a mat across the soil surface. Some of the needle-like or awl-like foliage remains green throughout the winter. A plant that attracts butterflies, creeping phlox is a splendid choice for butterfly gardens. Luckily, deer are less likely to eat this plant than many others, qualifying it as a relatively deer-resistant ground cover."

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

Pruning is typically defined as removing growth from an herbaceous or woody plant to maintain health and vigor. Generally people think of pruning as a technique that is only beneficial for woody plants, but it is also beneficial for perennials. This article focuses on the pruning of perennials and techniques that can be used to change the appearance of your perennials. Topiaries are a specialized form of pruning woody plants that many people are familiar with. This article will describe how herbaceous perennials can be designed into interesting forms as well. Pruning is done to regulate the plants shape and size, and to control flowering and fruiting. Among the benefits are extending the blooming time, regenerating the plant, and encouraging new growth. Pruning can control the flower size and the number of flowers. Pruning is an excellent way to keep plants from invading the space of others."

Not only can slugs munch through all your seedlings in minutes, but they can also destroy your favorite hosta or delphinium in days. The slug is a hermaphrodite, which means they have both male and female reproductive systems and can mate with themselves. Each slug can produce up to 36 eggs, several times a year. They reach adulthood in about six weeks and some species have a life span of 2-6 years. To top it off slugs keep growing. There are some that reach 10 inches. Imagine meeting one of those on a summer’s eve. They have an insatiable appetite and feed mainly at night and can eat double its body weight in a day. I don’t know who took the time to count, but I read they have 27,000 teeth."

Phlox make great ground cover, and you can compliment them with other varieties of ground cover . They are easy to care for and low maintenance. Add some phlox to any bouquet for some nice fragrance, too. Planting Use a garden fork or tiller to prepare your garden bed. Loosen the soil to about 12 to 15 inches deep, then mix in a 2- to 4-inch layer of compost. It is easier to grow phlox from cuttings/transplants than seeds.

Grow garden phlox in a sunny location as a border or a backdrop to shorter flowers. Phlox prefers a moist garden soil and needs adequate ventilation around the foliage to prevent mildew from developing over the course of the growing season. After the foliage dies back in the autumn, cut it off near the soil level to winterize. Remove spent flowers of the garden phlox to encourage a longer blooming period. Trim the plant back to remove all old foliage in the autumn. This will help prevent mold and decay from penetrating the foliage over the winter season. Leave approximately 6 inches of stalks above the soil level for locating the phlox the next spring. Thin the garden phlox in the spring to allow only four stalks per clump. If you desire a larger area of garden phlox, add additional plants, spacing them approximately 1 foot apart."

TSP in a roof cleaning solution has many benefits and should never be skipped, here are just a few. Thickens the solution, allowing much more dwell time on the roof surface, allowing for the use of weaker bleach ratio’s. Has tremendous cleaning powers itself and is safe to use with bleach. Water soluble and will easily rinse off with garden hose pressure or rain. This is used to remove the dead algae and settled dirt. Imagine the amount of dirt that would settle on your car if you hadn’t cleaned it in years. Trust me, you need TSP for this reason alone. Many times the use of this additive is skipped or not given the attention needed and it boggles my mind why. The common fear is that TSP will strip paint from a homes exterior and pool cage powder coating."

Created by living things, they are found throughout the world, in soils and seas, commercial products, and every cell of the human body. The four types most important to human structure and function are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleotides. Before exploring these compounds, you need to first understand the chemistry of carbon. The Chemistry of Carbon What makes organic compounds ubiquitous is the chemistry of their carbon core. Recall that carbon atoms have four electrons in their valence shell, and that the octet rule dictates that atoms tend to react in such a way as to complete their valence shell with eight electrons. Carbon atoms do not complete their valence shells by donating or accepting four electrons. Instead, they readily share electrons via covalent bonds. Commonly, carbon atoms share with other carbon atoms, often forming a long carbon chain referred to as a carbon skeleton. When they do share, however, they do not share all their electrons exclusively with each other."

And that it forms a twisted ladder or a double helix. But few people can tell us why. DNA is a spiral for a number of reasons that have to do with what it is made of. Let's dig deeper, break open the DNA and figure out why it is put together in that shape. DNA has three parts -- sugar, phosphate and bases that are linked together chemically in a particular way. Surprisingly, a big part of what makes DNA a spiral has to do with how well each part dissolves in water!The sugar molecule is like the sugar we use in our foods. To sweeten our coffee or lemonade, sugar has to dissolve in water. When something can dissolve in water, it is called \"\"water-soluble\"\" or hydrophilic. Phosphates aren't as well known as sugars but they are really important for our body."

Instead of dangerous acid washing, this method uses a water-based mixture of bleach and detergent. Power washing is an optional follow-up, but not absolutely necessary. Steps1 Drain pool and periodically spray sides of pool to loosen dirt and grime.2 Once empty, physically remove debris with shovels and brooms, using hose with power nozzle to wash dirt to the puddle. A 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket works well for carrying the debris up and out of the pool. Small pails can bail the remaining water into the 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket for removal.3 Cleaning solution: In a clean 2 gallon (7.6 L) bucket, mix 1/4 cup TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate powder, available in paint dept. of home improvement center), 1/2 cup laundry powder, 1 US-quart (950 ml) laundry bleach, 3 US quarts (3,000 ml) warm water. Makes 1 gallon (3.8 L).4 Wear protective gloves and long pants for the following: Wet the pool with hose, then apply cleaning solution with a long handle brush to the walls and bottom of the pool.5 Let stand 30 minutes, then brush from top to bottom, using additional solution as needed.

"text": "Copyright © 1998 American Society of Plant Physiologists P is an important plant macronutrient, making up about 0.2% of a plant's dry weight. It is a component of key molecules such as nucleic acids, phospholipids, and ATP, and, consequently, plants cannot grow without a reliable supply of this nutrient. Pi is also involved in controlling key enzyme reactions and in the regulation of metabolic pathways ( Theodorou and Plaxton, 1993 ). After N, P is the second most frequently limiting macronutrient for plant growth. This update focuses on P in soil and its uptake by plants, transport across cell membranes, and compartmentation and redistribution within the plant. We will concentrate on P in higher plants, although broadly similar mechanisms have been shown to apply in algae and fungi. P IN SOILAlthough the total amount of P in the soil may be high, it is often present in unavailable forms or in forms that are only available outside of the rhizosphere. Few unfertilized soils release P fast enough to support the high growth rates of crop plant species. In many agricultural systems in which the application of P to the soil is necessary to ensure plant productivity, the recovery of applied P by crop plants in a growing season is very low, because in the soil more than 80% of the P becomes immobile and unavailable for plant uptake because of adsorption, precipitation, or conversion to the organic form ( Holford, 1997 ). Soil P is found in different pools, such as organic and mineral P (Fig."

These nucleotides are important for a number of reasons. Most of them, not just ATP, are the sources of energy that drive most of our reactions. ATP is the most commonly used source but GTP is used in protein synthesis as well as a few other reactions. UTP is the source of energy for activating glucose and galactose. CTP is an energy source in lipid metabolism. AMP is part of the structure of some of the coenzymes like NAD and Coenzyme A. And, of course, the nucleotides are part of nucleic acids.

I had been dubious of the phosphate problem, since our water was crystal clear and our chlorine levels were, if anything, high (around 4 ppm), but the guy said the Phos Free couldn't possibly hurt, so I figured we had the bottle already -- what the heck. Several hours after adding it, I noticed the pressure gauge on my Ray-Vac was reading high, just slightly above range. The skimmers and pump basket were clear. I remembered on the bottle it said something about pressure in DE systems going up after addding Phos Free and needing to \"\"bump\"\" it down, but we have a sand filter.

So, what causes these blooms and how can we prevent them? Algae blooms place a high demand on the chemicals present in your water and cost time and money in clean up. While everyone agrees on how to kill algae once it’s taken over your pool, Pool Supply World will teach you how to take a proactive approach to preventing anything from blooming in your backyard but your prized begonias. With that, we’d like to introduce you to phosphates: a biological building block that is constantly being introduced to your water and nourishing algae spores. In this blog, we’ll explain how being proactive with phosphate-fighting chemicals – instead of reactive with huge amounts of chlorine shock and a scrub brush – will help prevent algae blooms and make your sparkling pool water the crown jewel of the neighborhood. Algae and other scourges We are fairly certain that if Sun Tzu had owned a swimming pool while writing “The Art of War,” history would have been irrevocably altered by his seminal chapter on conquering algae. Being that no such chapter exists, we’ll improvise. In order to understand how to defeat algae, you must understand what it needs to survive."

Flag What chemicals are used to start up a pool while filling? Answer by Kenco963 Confidence votes 252First off, test the water going into the pool to determine its \"\"native\"\" p H, chlorine level (municipal water usually has trace amounts), its alkalinity (its resistance to swings in the p H), & its calcium hardness. p H/alkalinity is first. Get the p H balanced, then add chlorine - liquid bleach is an excellent shock treatment, also get some floater dispensers and plop some trichlor pucks or sticks in there. I recommend getting a Taylor test kit (pricey but critically accurate) for use once or twice a month, and a cheap little kit for daily use. I use borax (20 Mule Team at grocery store) for alkalinity issues, baking soda (also grocery store) for p H UP and muriatic acid (hardware stores) for p H down. Learning your waters native alk & p H is 3/4 the battle. Then just keep it chlorinated to kill the beasties. When you are adding new water or filling for the first time you should first add your metal out or metal preventer which ever is in your area to prevent staining,second adjust your alkalinity (sodium bicarbonate for up and acid for down) to between 80 120 ppm."

This cycle occurs in ureotelic organisms. The urea cycle converts highly toxic ammonia to urea for excretion. [ 1] This cycle was the first metabolic cycle to be discovered ( Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit, 1932), five years before the discovery of the TCA cycle. The urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys.

Either way, it is pretty basic and you shouldn't have much trouble reading this material or the associated material in the text. Roles of Organisms Organisms can be either producers or consumers in terms of energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose. Plants are the most obvious examples of producers; plants take energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide into glucose (or other sugars). Algae and cyanobacteria are also photosynthetic producers, like plants. Other producers include bacteria living around deep-sea vents. These bacteria take energy from chemicals coming from the Earth's interior and use it to make sugars."

By Terry Arko Credit: SEAKLEAR POOL & SPA WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTSThough calcium phosphate scale is a newly discovered problem for the swimming pool industry, it has long been recognized in the boiler industry, where the practice of using polyphosphonates to control calcium carbonate scale is often used. Eventually the polyphosphonates break down to orthophosphate, which then bonds with calcium to form calcium phosphate scale. As preventive actions for calcium phosphate scaling have become commonplace for commercial boiler water, the problem of calcium phosphate scale has had to be addressed, through proper management of calcium phosphate levels in make-up water, as well as in the amount of usage of phosphate-based scale products. What is it? Calcium phosphate is found in phosphate rock and is largely mined for the production of certain cleaners and detergents. It also makes up about 20 percent of our skeletal system, and is the majority material within our teeth. It is vital to healthy growth of humans and plants. But while it may be good for living things, calcium phosphate scale can be detrimental to pool and hot tub systems. Scale is formed in recreational water by precipitation and crystal growth on surfaces in contact with water."

Typically 4 years to obtain an undergraduate degree and 3 years of physical therapy school. With this you get a DPT (Doctorate in Physical Therapy) in most programs. In Canada, to become a physical therapist a student must complete a 4 year undergraduate degree, followed by a 2 year physical therapy post graduate degree. After passing board certification exams a student with this training is referred to as a licensed physical therapist. As far as I am aware, there is no doctorate program available in Canada that enables physiotherapists to become a doctor of physical therapy. However, there is at present a lobby group pushing the government to allow/recognize extension of the physical therapy program to a 4 year doctoral degree. If/when this occurs, physiotherapy will become similar to other health care doctoral programs like medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, etc.,"

Who would you call? A physical therapist? How about an occupational therapist? The truth is, many people consider physical therapy and occupational therapy to be interchangeable. But if you're interested in medicine, anatomy and exercise and you're in the midst of narrowing down a field of post-graduate study, which one do you choose? Both occupational therapy and physical therapy are set to see faster than average growth over the next ten years, both are typically paired with healthy median salaries and they both require many of the same skills. In fact, patients will sometimes even see both a physical therapist and an occupational therapist, often meeting with one practitioner first before being referred to the other—so what's the difference? We wanted to get to the bottom of this commonly asked question, so we pulled some data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Here is what we found: Occupational therapy vs. physical therapy: The basics The word occupation, while most commonly used in reference to a person's vocational path, means \"\"an activity in which a person is engaged.\"\""

Or they might explain different exercises and observe the patients while they do them. They might also use different equipment or machines to help with therapy.

Before you can specialize, you need to become licensed as a physician assistant. Requirements for becoming a physician assistant include completing a physician assistant education program accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant. Requirements for admission to physician assistant programs vary. Most students already have an associate or bachelor’s degree before applying. Programs for physician assistants are usually between 24 and 27 months in length. After graduating and taking the licensing exam—and depending on your area of interest—you may be required to undergo additional training in the form of a fellowship or residency. In other instances, finding employment with a doctor who specializes in your area of interest is a good way to start. There are many different specialties a physician assistant can choose."

These tasks may include filing insurance forms, collecting signed consent forms, and explaining to the patient the procedure, risks factors and outpatient treatment after surgery. There are two types of surgical procedures that can be done in a doctor's office. The first type can achieved without any form of general anesthesia and the second form can be done with the help of a local anesthesia. The second type is also known as minor surgery and the patient can go home the same day; this is known as outpatient surgery. The local anesthesia comes in the form of an injection and a cream that is applied to the skin surrounding the surgical area. Minor Surgeries can be used to repair lacerations, to irrigate and clean up a puncture wound, remove damaged, infected, or dead skin, collect a biopsy specimen, and removal of foreign entities, small growths, or ingrown toe/finger nails. Laser Surgery, Cryosurgery, and Electrocauterization all types of special minor surgical procedures. In laser surgery an intense beam of light is used to cut away tissue. In cryosurgery the usage of extreme cold is used to destroy unwanted tissue and electrocauterization an electrical current is used to heated either a needle, probe or loop that is then used to destroy the targeted tissue."

"text": "“Grey’s Anatomy” has been one of my favorite TV shows since its inception in 2005. Back then I was a premed, so I watched the drama about the lives of surgical residents and physicians with great interest, even though I knew many aspects of the residents’ lives were exaggerated or just plain incorrect. When I became a general surgery intern myself last year, these discrepancies became even more obvious to me. I understand that “Grey’s Anatomy’s” producers have to sometimes sacrifice realism to engage their audience and garner ratings. But I dislike the way the show overglamorizes the lives of the residents and often presents false medical information. By portraying the residents’ lives as exciting, dramatic whirlwinds, the show makes real-world residency seem less difficult. I would not be surprised if medical students watching the show are shocked and disillusioned when they finally rotate through surgery and find out what the surgical world is really like. I certainly was surprised. Interested in becoming a DO? Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are one of the fasting-growing segments of health care professionals in the U. S. DOs are trained to look at the whole person, listening and partnering with their patients to help them get healthy and stay well."

Are you considering applying to physician assistant schools but you can’t answer your friends or family when they ask you “ What do physician assistants do?” It’s understandable – the profession is young, and even though it’s growing rapidly, you may not have been treated by a physician assistant before. So what types of activities do the different kinds of physician assistants do? Here’s a Partial List of What Physician Assistants Do: Primary Care. Primary care refers to working as the first contact for those who need help with health related problems and preventive care. Physician assistants in primary care do physical exams, see patients who are sick with everyday illnesses (viruses, diabetes, high blood pressure, rashes, etc. ), and provide ongoing care. They order tests, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications, and usually work in a doctor’s office or a health clinic."

J. Garforth A. P. Bailey R. B. Tranter Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2013.02.018 Get rights and content Abstract The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) identified practices to reduce the risk of animal disease outbreaks. We report on the response of sheep and pig farmers in England to promotion of these practices. A conceptual framework was established from research on factors influencing adoption of animal health practices, linking knowledge, attitudes, social influences and perceived constraints to the implementation of specific practices. Qualitative data were collected from nine sheep and six pig enterprises in 2011. Thematic analysis explored attitudes and responses to the proposed practices, and factors influencing the likelihood of implementation. Most feel they are doing all they can reasonably do to minimise disease risk and that practices not being implemented are either not relevant or ineffective. There is little awareness and concern about risk from unseen threats. Pig farmers place more emphasis than sheep farmers on controlling wildlife, staff and visitor management and staff training. The main factors that influence livestock farmers’ decision on whether or not to implement a specific disease risk measure are: attitudes to, and perceptions of, disease risk; attitudes towards the specific measure and its efficacy; characteristics of the enterprise which they perceive as making a measure impractical; previous experience of a disease or of the measure; and the credibility of information and advice. Great importance is placed on access to authoritative information with most seeing vets as the prime source to interpret generic advice from national bodies in the local context."

You’re wondering: what breed do I get? What breeds are available? What are the pros and cons of different pig breeds? Commercial Pigs“Factory” raised pigs, raised in large quantities on the mega hog house, are designed for optimal meat production but are pretty dry, bland and tasteless. And they may not do as well on a homestead or small farm operation, as you may give your pigs more room to roam, and factory breeds may lack some of the more traditional pig behaviors and instincts. They will require vast amounts of feed and may not be as adaptable to eating brush and pasture as heritage breeds. Commercial pigs also tend to be leaner than their heritage breed counterparts. Heritage Pig Breeds It’s likely that as a small farmer, you will want to raise a heritage pig breed. Tamworth, Large Black and Berkshire are common heritage breeds used on the small farm, and all make excellent free-range pork."

How they got there is a mystery as they are not indigenous to that country. They were kept by the Maoris for meat, living not in enclosures, but free to scavenge around the houses. This probably explains their love of humans and excellent temperament. In 1976 things were looking desperate for the Kunes, and very few were left, but thanks to Michael Willis and John Simister buying every Kune they could find, 18 in all, the New Zealand Kunekune pig association was formed. They have done an excellent job and there are now over 1000 pigs in New Zealand. Kunekune pigs vary from 24\"\" to 30\"\" high and weigh between 140-220 lbs.

Although the most common types of pets are cats and dogs, some prefer a unique pet such as the teacup pig, often referred to as a miniature pig or potbellied pig. However, while most think these type of pig will stay tiny for its entire life, this isn’t the case as there isn’t such thing as a teacup pig. In fact, when a breeder refers to a teacup pig, they are usually referring to its size at the time, and many naive buyers, unfortunately, will adopt one for thousands without realizing what they have gotten themselves into. No matter what kind of pig you plan on adopting, plan on it weighing at least 50 pounds or more. These pigs are rather small and are no more than 45 to 100 pounds when grown. While the word “teacup” is mentioned, these pigs definitely don’t stay the size of one.

I certainly don't want to shovel a bunch of poo and I have enough to do in my life that I don't want to have to do much in the way of taking care of animals if I don't have to. So, given the paddock system, what animals can you throw in together at the same time? I know that cows poo is great feed for pigs. So cows & pigs together? In one post I read that pigs will eat sparrows. By the way the post was written, I am assuming the sparrows were intentionally injured via the trap bird houses and left for the pigs but if I were to allow chickens to run with the cows & pigs, would they too get eaten or are they too fast for a pig? What about throwing in a lamb or two as well? Any ideas?"

"text": "What Do Pigs Eat What Do Pigs Eat What do pigs eat? They are flexible in terms of eating. They can eat anything they see around them from carrion, to grass, and wood. Pigs that are raised on farms are fed up with grains like wheat, corn, oats, and other foods types like fish, and any other kinds of food that contain the necessary nutrients for their optimum growth. If you opt to raise pigs for profit, you cannot just let them eat anything. You want to grow your pigs so you can sell them and so they can eventually be sold in the meat market. This means that you have to ensure that they grow and develop properly to yield high quality meat. This is achieved by feeding them with the right kinds of food. Simply answering the question “ what do pigs eat ?” will not help you raise quality pigs."

A pinworm infection is one of the most common types of human intestinal worm infections. Pinworms are tiny, narrow worms. They’re white in color and less than half an inch long. A pinworm infection, also known as enterobiasis or oxyuriasis, is the most common type of worm infection in humans in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Pinworm infections can spread easily. They’re most common in children between the ages of 5 and 10, people who live in institutions, and those who have regular, close contact with individuals in these groups. An effective treatment for pinworm infections is medication, though reinfection is possible. Serious complications and long-term health effects are rare. Causes What causes a pinworm infection?"

Fifty percent of the deaths in horses may be related to internal parasites. Internal parasites have adapted themselves to the internal environment of their host animal.

Pinworms are easily transmitted from human to human and are particularly common in children. Luckily the disease, enterobiasis, causes only anal itching. Enterobius vermicularis does not need an intermediate host to complete its life cycle . Humans get infected by accidentally swallowing or inhaling microscopic pinworm eggs. Once inside the first part of the small intestine, duodenum, pinworm larvae hatch from the eggs. The larvae are only about 0.15 mm long but grow very fast. They migrate towards the ending of the small intestine as they mature into adults. Adults are white, thin worms. Males are 0.2 mm thick and 2–5 mm long whereas females are 0.5 mm thick and 8–13 mm long."

"text": "Worms and Intestinal Parasites: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Posted on August 7, 2015 by Marius Lixandru60 Comments ↓Updated on December 19, 2017Worms and Intestinal Parasites: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment. Intestinal parasites, commonly called intestinal worms or parasitic worms, are unicellular or multicellular organisms that infect the gastro-intestinal tract of both humans and other animals and live off their host. Infection with parasitic worms occurs much more frequently than one might believe. While children are often more likely to get parasitic worms, adults that do not keep a rigorous hygiene can also be at risk. If left untreated, intestinal parasites infections can prove life-threatening. Contaminated food or water, coming into contact with bowel movements and ingesting it as a result of poor hygiene can get one infected with a variety of parasitic worms, ranging from ascaris, giardia, the trichina worm to tapeworms, the hookworm and so on. While an intestinal parasite infection presents symptoms and can be diagnosed through simple tests, many people who are infected are often oblivious to the infection and let it go undiagnosed until the parasite starts causing more serious health problems. The key to understanding parasitic infections of the gastro-intestinal tract and the reason why they have such a harmful impact on one’s health lies in understanding what intestinal parasites are and what is their mechanism of infection. A parasite is an organism that lives in and feeds off another organism. Intestinal parasites, often referred to as intestinal worms or parasitic worms, are single-cell or multi-cell organisms that can potentially infect humans."

Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be.

"text": "Nobody wants to think about it or admit it, but if you have an itchy behind, pinworms may be the cause. Pinworms, a member of the roundworm family, are one of the most common intestinal parasites in the world, infecting over 40 million individuals in the United States alone each year. While this parasitic infection may be bothersome, the main symptom being rectal itching, they are considered one of the least dangerous parasitic worms. While pinworms occur most often among school-aged children, people of any age and socioeconomic class can contract a pinworm infection. Pinworms live in the human intestines, with an adult male pinworm generally measuring 1 mm (.0393 inches) to 4 mm .157 inches) long, and an adult female measuring about 8 mm (.315 inches) to 13 mm (.512 inches) long. The pinworm itself has a long, pin-shaped rear end, which gives the parasite its name. Pinworms are contracted through close contact with someone who has them, and ingesting the microscopic eggs that the pinworm female lays. Ad It can take up to one to two months after ingesting pinworm eggs for pinworm symptoms to appear. It is at this point that the female pinworm migrates from the large intestine to the area around a person's rectum to lay more eggs. When the rectal area is scratched, pinworm eggs may be transferred onto the fingers and into a person's surroundings, where they can survive for up to three weeks."

"text": "Summary Pinworms are small parasites that can live in the colon and rectum. You get them when you swallow their eggs. The eggs hatch inside your intestines. While you sleep, the female pinworms leave the intestines through the anus and lay eggs on nearby skin. Pinworms spread easily. When people who are infected touch their anus, the eggs attach to their fingertips. They can spread the eggs to others directly through their hands, or through contaminated clothing, bedding, food, or other articles. The eggs can live on household surfaces for up to 2 weeks. The infection is more common in children. Many people have no symptoms at all."

In any case, pinworms are mostly harmless and inhabit people in every socioeconomic group and culture. What are pinworms? The pinworm, or Enterobius vermicularis, is one of the most common parasitic infections of humans. Somewhere between 10 percent and 40 percent of children have pinworms at any given time. The adult pinworms are white and measure less than one half inch long, with the diameter of a strand of thread. These tiny roundworms are quite complex. Like us, they have mouths, throats, and gastrointestinal tracts. Like us, they have nervous systems. The females have a vagina, a uterus, and ovaries."

The medical condition associated with pinworm infestation is known as enterobiasis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pinworms are the most common type of worm infection in the United States. They are parasites, meaning that they use the human body to survive and reproduce. Human pinworms cannot infect any other animals. Adult worms are just 0.2 to 0.4 inches or 5 to 10 millimeters (mm) in length, about the size of a staple. They are white or cream colored and look like small pieces of thread. Pinworms can live for up to 6 weeks. This MNT Knowledge Center article will explore the causes, symptoms, and treatments in more detail. Fast facts: The worms mature in the intestine and then move through the digestive system to lay eggs, at night, in the anal area."

Pinworms are easily transmitted from human to human and are particularly common in children. Luckily the disease, enterobiasis, causes only anal itching. Enterobius vermicularis does not need an intermediate host to complete its life cycle . Humans get infected by accidentally swallowing or inhaling microscopic pinworm eggs. Once inside the first part of the small intestine, duodenum, pinworm larvae hatch from the eggs. The larvae are only about 0.15 mm long but grow very fast. They migrate towards the ending of the small intestine as they mature into adults. Adults are white, thin worms. Males are 0.2 mm thick and 2–5 mm long whereas females are 0.5 mm thick and 8–13 mm long."

They affect approximately 200 million people all over the world, one-third of which can be found in the United States. Genus Enterobius or pinworm, is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is also known as the threadworm, Enterobius vermicularis, and very recently, a new specie of pinworm - Enterobius gregorii - has been discovered. Adult male pinworms can grow to as long as 1 to 4 millimeters, while adult female worms are 8 to 13 millimeters in length. Their size can be compared to that of a single staple wire. They are characterized by their long backsides which form the shape of a pin, hence the name. Pinworms are an intestinal parasitic infection which commonly afflicts children, although other age groups can also catch it. These infestations are also known as “seatworm infection”, “threadworm infection,” and the clinical “enterobiasis,” or “oxyuriasis”. While many intestinal parasites enter the body through the bloodstream or through other body organs, the pinworm makes an entrance via a person's digestive tract."

Females lay the microscopic eggs around the anus and cause extreme itching. Children transmit the infections easily.

January 16, 2009By Alona Pulde, MD and Matthew Lederman, MD1.4k Shares First, we want to make it clear that we have no ulterior motives when it comes to supplements. All we care about is doing what is best for patients based on the evidence we have. In fact, our view is not only unpopular but makes us less money (selling supplements is quite lucrative for people) so, unlike other sides of the argument, financial bias influencing our stance is not something our patients need to be concerned about. Moreover, we don’t have any vested interest in whether patients take supplements or not; however, as true patient advocates we do have a vested interest in our patients being well informed. Once truly well informed, then they can decide what works best for them, which may very well be different than what works best for us. Unfortunately, patients often don’t understand all the data and as such rely on other people to help them make their decision. It is very important however, that patients demand thorough exploration of all perspectives of a case prior to agreeing or disagreeing with anyone, especially by people in positions of influence. Unfortunately, we have found that in people’s desire to get healthy they often are quick to add things, like supplements, even after just a hint of good news usually as a result of just hearing part of the story. We see it as our job to add the missing perspective so that people can see everything a little more clearly and then make a truly well-informed decision."

By Life's Little Mysteries Staff | January 13, 2011 03:54pm ETMOREThe placebo effect when people taking so-called \"\"dummy pills\"\" begin to experience the side effects expected for the real pills is a controversial phenomenon that seems to show that when it comes to some things, it really is mind over matter. A placebo, also known as a sugar pill, is a treatment that is often given to study participants as a control to compare the effects of \"\"nothing\"\" to the effects of an actual treatment. But studies in the past have shown that, inexplicably, placebos can have positive effects. Scientists have found that when people experience a decrease in pain from a placebo, certain compounds, called endorphins, are released in their brains. In fact, patients experience a positive reaction to a treatment even when they know that they're taking a placebo, according to a Dec. 2010 Harvard Medical School study. The researchers gave 80 patients with irritable bowel syndrome two treatments. One group, the control group, received only consultations with doctors and nurses. The second group received the same consultations and pills clearly labeled as \"\"placebos,\"\" and were told to take them twice a day. Among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), 59 percent of those who knowingly took a placebo pill said their symptoms were adequately relieved after three weeks, while just 35 percent of patients who took no pills reported such relief, the study showed."

"text": "Javier Zarracina/Vox Over the last several years, doctors noticed a mystifying trend: Fewer and fewer new pain drugs were getting through double-blind placebo control trials, the gold standard for testing a drug’s effectiveness. In these trials, neither doctors nor patients know who is on the active drug and who is taking an inert pill. At the end of the trial, the two groups are compared. If those who actually took the drug report significantly greater improvement than those on placebo, then it’s worth prescribing. When researchers started looking closely at pain-drug clinical trials, they found that an average of 27 percent of patients in 1996 reported pain reduction from a new drug compared to placebo. In 2013, it was 9 percent. What this showed was not that the drugs were getting worse, but that “the placebo response is growing bigger over time,” but only in the US, explains Jeffrey Mogil, the Mc Gill University pain researcher who co-discovered the trend. And it’s not just growing stronger in pain medicine. Placebos are growing in strength in antidepressants and anti-psychotic studies as well. “The placebo effect is the most interesting phenomenon in all of science,” Mogil says. “"

Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is a combination birth control pill containing female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Yasmin also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Yasmin is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. Slideshow Always Hungry? You Just Might Have One Of These Conditions Important information Do not Yasmin use if you are pregnant or if you recently had a baby. You should not take Yasmin if you have: an adrenal gland disorder, kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, circulation problems (especially with diabetes), undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, if you also take certain hepatitis C medication, if you have major surgery, if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had a heart attack, a stroke, a blood clot, jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills, or cancer of the breast, uterus/cervix, or vagina.

Don’t Be So Sure Josh Barro @jbarro JULY 16, 2014Truvada, the once-a-day pill to help keep people from contracting H. I. V., is on the cover of this week’s New York magazine, and Tim Murphy’s cover story focuses on how the pill is changing sex by drastically reducing gay men’s fear of infection. It’s not hard to see why: Mr. Murphy writes, “When taken every day, it’s been shown in a major study to be up to 99 percent effective.” This is a claim I hear thrown around a lot among gay men in New York. And it’s wrong. The 99 percent figure isn’t a study finding; it’s a statistical estimate, based on a number of assumptions that are reasonable, but debatable. Here’s how the estimate was reached: A major study of men who have sex with men, called i Pr Ex, found that H. I. V.-negative men who were prescribed daily Truvada were 44 percent less likely to contract the virus than those who were given a placebo. But a great many of the subjects did not take their prescribed medication regularly, or at all. Of 48 i Pr Ex subjects who were assigned to take Truvada and contracted H. I. V. anyway, just four had any detectable level of the drug in their system when they were diagnosed, indicating a 92 percent reduction in risk for people who were actually taking the medicine. But wait, there’s more: Those four subjects who took Truvada and became infected had its active ingredients in their blood only at levels consistent with taking the drug twice a week."

Nancy R. Cohen/Photodisc/Getty Images Do you know how the pill works to prevent pregnancy? After all, the pill is one of the most popular of all hormonal methods of birth control, and it is a very effective form of contraception. Have you ever wondered just exactly what the pill does, and why it is so successful? The Pill Shouldn't Get All the Attention In order to understand how the pill works, we need to backtrack, just a bit. To really understand how \"\"the pill\"\" works to prevent you from getting pregnant, it is important to realize that this information applies to all types of hormonal contraception —not just the birth control pill. For the most part, all hormonal contraceptives work the same way to prevent pregnancy. It does not make a big difference whether the hormonal birth control method is a combination method (meaning it contains both estrogen and progestin) or if it is a progestin-only method. Exceptions to the Rule on How the Pill Works There is a slight exception to the general rule on how the pill works when it comes to some progestin-only contraceptives. Depo Provera, Nexplanon, progestin-only pills , the Mirena IUD, and the Skyla IUD all work in the same way as the pill."

Currently, it's discontinued by the manufacturer, but is still sold in its generic form, Amethyst.

If you're already taking monophasic Pills (which are all the same except for during your period week), you can build a do-it-yourself Lybrel by just skipping the placebos. One caveat: Insurance usually won't cover the Pills, since it only funds one pack per month. THE DOWNSIDE: Breakthrough bleeding.

Obecalp and Cebocap are actually placebos—fake drugs. Obecalp is simply the word placebo spelled backward. Cebocap is a name of a pill made from lactose, which is sugar. Doctors Do Prescribe Placebos University of Chicago researchers issued the results of a study showing that 45 percent of the internists surveyed (all Chicago area family doctors) had prescribed placebos for their patients. Of the doctors who prescribed placebos, 34 percent told the patients that the prescription wouldn't hurt and could possibly even help; 19 percent simply said it was medication; 9 percent said it was medication with \"\"no specific effects\"\"; and just 4 percent told their patients they were prescribing a placebo. Surveys consistently seem to show that some doctors use placebos in their clinical practices in an effort to help patients. One recent survey on physicians' ethical dilemmas reported that 34 percent of those surveyed said it's acceptable to prescribe a placebo to a patient who doesn't need treatment but is insisting on it anyway. Types of Placebos There are two types of placebos: Pure or inactive placebos, such as sugar pills or saline injections Impure or active placebos, such as prescribing an antibiotic for a viral infection or a vitamin even though the patient doesn't need it Placebos Can Work Here's the real surprise: Sometimes, often enough to be counted, placebos work to help the patient. Despite the fact that there is no real medicine being ingested, patients feel better."

By Gina Shaw From the Web MD Archives Let's face it, many women dread getting their monthly period. So take a minute to imagine this: What if you could take a birth control pill that reduced your periods from 13 to 4 each year? What if you could schedule life's big events - vacation, a wedding, family gatherings - around your \"\"spring\"\" period, or your \"\"summer\"\" period, or your \"\"fall\"\" period? Pharmaceutical companies and many doctors are betting that women will jump at the chance. The first of these so-called continuous birth control pills, Seasonale from Barr Laboratories, will hit the market this fall. Others will likely soon follow. Surveys have shown that many women are enthusiastic about the idea of having fewer periods.

"text": "\"Alice,How do birth control pills work?— Woman Dear Woman,Birth control pills prevent pregnancy through several mechanisms, mainly by stopping ovulation. If no egg is released, there is nothing to be fertilized by sperm, and the woman cannot get pregnant. Most birth control pills contain synthetic forms of two female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle. Without the estrogen bump, the pituitary gland does not release other hormones that normally cause the ovaries to release mature eggs. Specifically, synthetic estrogen in the pill works to: Stop the pituitary gland from producing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in order to prevent ovulation. Support the uterine lining (endometrium) to prevent breakthrough bleeding mid-cycle. Meanwhile, synthetic progestin works to: Stop the pituitary gland from producing LH in order to prevent egg release. Make the uterine lining inhospitable to a fertilized egg."

They come in pills, capsules, tablets, in powedered and liquid form, as sublingual drops or slow-melt tablets. More and more people hear about glutathione (GSH) and its vital importance for proper detoxification, strong immune health, energy levels, endurance, muscle strength, anti-aging, master antioxidant role, and overall disease prevention. People with various health concerns turn to glutathione pills, too, because they read in a health magazine or heard from TV gurus that raising glutathione would improve their condition. Doctors who are aware of the benefits of elevated glutathione suggest glutathione supplementation to their patients, and/or prescribe NAC for them (while NAC is not glutathione, it is a pharmaceutical cysteine delivery system that raises GSH but can have some adverse side effects). Oral glutathione supplementation is also very convenient – just take a pill once a day as you would do with a multivitamin. In our fast lives convenience is often as important as the end result of taking a supplement, if not more. Our logic assumes that if a supplement is sold at all health food stores, pharmacies and online, and if it is advertised in mass media, it means the supplement must work well. However, most people, including medical professionals, are not aware of the fact that glutathione pills may not be very helpful to the body. ("

[ 4] Common placebos include inert tablets (like sugar pills), vehicle infusions, sham surgery, [5] and other procedures. [ 6]In drug testing and medical research, a placebo can be made to resemble an active medication or therapy so that it functions as a control; this is to prevent the recipient (s) and/or others from knowing (with their consent) whether a treatment is active or inactive, as expectations about efficacy can influence results. [ 7] [8] This psychological phenomenon, in which the recipient perceives an improvement in condition due to personal expectations, rather than the treatment itself, is known as the placebo effect or placebo response. [ 9] [10] Research about the effect is ongoing. [ 11]A placebo may be given to a person in a clinical context in order to deceive the recipient into thinking that it is an active treatment. The use of placebos as treatment in clinical medicine is ethically problematic as it introduces deception and dishonesty into the doctor–patient relationship, [12] although there is some evidence that placebos presented as placebos can provide some of the same benefits without deception. [ 13]The traditional view of placebo effects is that they are clinically powerful, [14] and are a result of the brain's role in physical health. The placebo effect is certainly a pervasive phenomenon; [15] in fact, it is part of the recorded response to any active medical intervention. ["

Adult elephants (above right) are pretty much immune from predation, and because of their social structure, the young are pretty well protected, too. For a predator to approach a young elephant it would normally have to fight its way through the mother and a few aunts or sisters, and perhaps even a bull or two.

"text": "\"What do you know about garter snakes? Today, on a very hot and humid day, I stepped out of the garage door to walk out to the street to get our mail. There in the center of our fairly large cement garage apron was an adult garter snake. She was slowly moving toward the edge of the cement but seemed to be in no hurry. She was about 2 feet long and I thought she had a bit of a swelling in her mid section. Maybe she is pregnant or else has eaten recently -- I don't know which. I took a couple of quick steps toward her and she raised her head as though to strike, her tongue flicking in and out. One more quick step toward her and deciding flight was the better choice, she slithered very quickly, even throwing her tail section ahead of her middle section to get the heck out of there. Earlier this summer while mowing, my husband said he saw a snake on our lake bluff. I find this interesting because we have lived here for 13 years and I have never seen a garter snake before."

"text": "\"Answer by Tony Benevides Confidence votes 16Yes they are if you answer know what your answering but they cant inject the venom so the bite will just draw blood but they are actually venomous. the Venom they have is a neuro-toxin, low dose that prevents squirming while swallowing. Garter snakes tend to bite and release humans (if they bite at all) and cannot really use the venom against us, unless you put your finger down it's throat and waited for a while. the below about newts is also true, but please note that garter snakes are now considered a venomous snake, not a constrictor. My opinion: Not really. If they bite you, then the most it can do is break the skin. However, you shouldn't eat them because some animals that they like to eat could poison you if you eat the snake. The short answer is no. The short answer is not strictly correct however, partly because I suspect that the question was intended to mean: \"\"Are common garter snakes venomous?\"\" You will read in many places that garter snakes are not venomous, but it now is known that the saliva is in fact significantly venomous, and plays a role in paralysing the animals that they eat, for example some kinds of newts and salamanders."

"text": "When snakes bite themselves Mon Aug 23, 2010 • 4:16 PMReptiles and Amphibians« Previous • Main • Next »Tweet A few weeks ago, one of our two male Red-sided Garter Snakes ( Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) — the last of the great litter of 2002 — decided to bite himself, at which point he recoiled in alarm and surprise. He and his brother are curious and friendly (albeit very ravenous: they’ll bite your fingers, though it’s not personal; they’re just hungry), but they’re just not very smart. By no means is that the first time I’ve seen one of my snakes bite itself. Normally it’s something I associate with Common Kingsnakes ( Lampropeltis getula ); I recall seeing both California and Speckled Kingsnakes chew on themselves. Apparently it’s more than a kingsnake thing. Last week, though, I was summoned to answer a question on Ask Meta Filter from someone whose son’s California Kingsnake chewed on its own tail on more than one occasion. You can read my answer there; I’m going to flesh it out a bit more (and organize it a bit better) here. To understand why some snakes might bite themselves, you have to keep the following three points in mind: Snakes aren’t very smart (and kingsnakes aren’t very smart even by snake standards). Some snakes freak the fuck out when eating. Snakes are never hungrier than just after they’ve eaten."

"text": "powered by Eastern Ribbon Snake ( Thamnophis sauritus)Photos by J. D. Willson unless otherwise noted Description: Ribbon snakes are slender snakes that range from 16-28 in. ( 41-71 cm) long. They have three light, usually yellow, stripes (two along the sides and one down the center of the back) against a dark background. Between the yellow lateral stripes and the belly there is a brown lateral stripe. Ribbon snakes resemble the closely-related eastern garter snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis ), however ribbon snakes are generally more slender, have unpatterned lip scales, and the lateral stripes are found on scale rows 3 and 4 (in garter snakes they are on rows 2 and 3). They have a plain yellowish belly, and keeled scales. There are four subspecies of T. sauritus, of which two occur in Georgia and South Carolina: Thamnophis sauritus sauritus and Thamnophis sauritus sackenii (middorsal stripe of this subspecies is less distinct). Range and Habitat: Eastern ribbon snakes are found throughout the eastern US, but are absent from much of the Appalachian Mountains. In our region, they are found in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain, but become progressively more common from the Mountains to the Coast. T. s. sackenii is found in southern portions of our region and throughout most of Florida."

The coloration of this species varies from blackish to yellowish to pinkish, or grayish with dark, bent crossbands aligned along the dorsal length of its body. On many specimens a reddish dorsal stripe runs between the crossbands. The velvety black tail is short and thick, tipped with a tan rattle. Timber rattlesnakes inhabit hardwood forest with rocky outcrops, pine flatwoods, bottomland hardwood forests, and cane thickets.

"text": "\"REPTILESStatus: Common, Native Resident GARTER SNAKES ( Thamnophis spp. ) Description Garter snakes are the snakes that many children find at one time or another and bring home. Some refer to them as garden snakes, because they are often found in gardens. The name \"\"garter\"\" was probably chosen because these snakes, like the fancy garters that once were used to hold up men's socks, have colorful, longitudinal stripes. The Lakota name is \"\"sinte wagleza.\"\" The length of garter snakes ranges from 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm), although some may be longer. They have a slim, agile body. Their coloring can be many shades of green, yellowish, or gray, but they nearly always have three yellow or red longitudinal stripes that extend along the length of their back and sides. When alarmed, many flatten their bodies, making the pattern more prominent. There are 3 species of garter snakes that occur in South Dakota: Thamnophis radix haydeni is t he western subspecies of the plains garter snake; T. sirtalis parietalis is a subspecies of the common garter snake called the red-sided garter snake; and T. elegans vagrans is a subspecies of the western terrestrial garter snake called the wandering garter snake."

I have unwittingly stepped into a concentration of cottonmouths near a den before without smelling anything even though there were a half dozen snakes within a few feet of me. Timber Rattlesnakes are your rattlesnake species in Southern New Jersey. I haven't heard this idea associated with them before.

Being on the smaller side of snakes, these guys can only manage to eat mice, frogs, and other animals around this size. I don't believe that a garter can eat a full-grown squirrel, as the snake's girth is only around the size of a quarter. The squirrel also would be quite ferocious when attacked, and the snake would have a huge task bringing it down. The snake potentially could kill it, but unable to eat it though. It would be, however, able to easily kill and eat a baby squirrel. Hope this helps! ! Source (s): My years of experience of having snakes, and also owning a few garters."

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print Maskot/Getty Images Strengthening the core is an important aspect of any workout program. Not only does a strong and solid core look good, but more importantly, it helps to stabilize, balance, and power the body during just about every other activity. Core strength is the basis for all coordinated and powerful athletic movements. The muscles that make up what we call the core, include more than just the abs. The muscles that run from the pelvis along the spine and to the shoulder girdle all make up the core. It is these muscles, working together, that make it possible to move efficiently and transfer power to the arms and legs. A strong core can also help reduce stress on the joints and helps protects against many common injuries. To ensure you keep your core strong and stable, consider adding these specific core strengthening exercises to your ab workout program for a new way and effective way to build strength and stability. How Many Calories Does Planking Burn? For most people, the goal of doing the plank exercise isn't to burn calories, but to strengthen the core muscles."

By Olivier Poirier-Leroy If you’re interested in using your own body weight to get fit and functional, but don’t know exactly what muscles does the plank work, this article gives you a refreshing look at one of the best forms of exercise out there!The Flat-Out Planking Truth At the end of the day planking, in all of its glorious forms, can work every single solitary muscle in the body. From the Adductor Hallusic of the big toes to the traps, planks almost have no limits. In essence planking is the act of suspending the body above ground somehow and using the muscles (along with leverage) to fight against gravity. SEE ALSO: The Plank Exercise – What You Need to Know Furthermore, typical planks are considered a stationary exercise. Most people don’t do other things while they plank. Instead, they look a lot like the guy in this explanation of how to do a plank. The conventional plank is considered to be a core exercise and there are four ways to do it on the ground: front, both sides for the obliques and then reverse where the glutes face downward. Some folks do it with their elbows touching the ground along with their forearms, while others either sit in a modified or full extension pushup position. In reality much more than just the Lumbo Pelvic Hip Complex is engaged, including the glutes, the majority of the legs as well as the neck."

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about how long to hold the plank exercise. And I always say the same thing, “it depends.” You know, on your goals, conditioning level, which plank you’re doing, etc. It just depends. That said, there are some general standards you can use to gauge your performance. For example, Dr. Stuart Mc Gill (Ph D), who is a world-renowned spine biomechanics specialist and is considered a leading authority on core development, says that two minutes is a good goal to shoot for in the standard abdominal plank on your elbows (1). Holding the plank exercise for that long indicates that you have a reasonably strong core – and most others tend to agree with that assertion, myself included. Also, a recent study on 168 college students found that your average college-aged female has a plank time of about 1 minute, 30 seconds, while an average college-aged male has a plank time of about 1 minute, 46 seconds (2). That said, you should know that most of these students were considered athletic to begin with, and they all volunteered for the study."

"text": "Exercises The side plank is an often overlooked exercise for building strong abs. Reap the benefits with these five versions21 Sep 2017The Classic Plank30-Day Plank Challenge Side Plank Reverse Plank Plank Jack Body Saw Walking Plank Superman Plank RKC Plank Few moves are as good for your midsection as the side plank, yet despite this, it’s often overlooked in favour of the standard face-down, forearm supported, regular Joe variety of plank. There’s nothing wrong with that, but by ignoring the side plank you’re ignoring the often weak muscle called the quadratus lumborum, part of the posterior abdominal wall that plays a prominent role in averting back pain. Researchers in Finland found that people who had poor muscle endurance in their lower backs are three to four times more likely to develop on-going lower back problems that those who have fair or good endurance. What constitutes good endurance? Being able to hold a flawless side plank on either side for a minute. But not just once. For a minimum of three sets. There are several other benefits for going unilateral with your core drills. Working either side of your body separately will help identify any weaknesses in your joints and muscle, helping you address them before they become chronic issues."

"text": "How to Install Fiber Cement Siding By: Joe Cuhaj Installing fiber cement siding (FCS)—such as Hardie Plank® —is easier than you might think, though there are some important differences from traditional wood siding. Installation instructions may vary depending on the manufacturer, and check with your local building inspector for any code requirements. Safety First Always follow these safety precautions when installing fiber cement siding: Wear safety glasses when cutting and nailing FCS. Use ear protection when cutting siding with a circular saw. Cutting FCS with a circular saw creates a large amount of dust which can lead to the incurable lung disease silicosis. Always cut siding outside and use a dust collecting saw hooked to a shop vac if possible. Wear a NIOSH approved N-95 dust mask or respirator when cutting FCS. Storage and Handling Inspect siding carefully for damage when it arrives. Store off the ground, making sure it is flat and well supported. Keep it dry until it has been installed."

"text": "Do Plank Exercises Really Develop Abs?by ANDREA CESPEDES Sept. 11, 2017Planks are billed as the must-do ab move if you're serious about developing a strong core. While the plank, and its numerous variations, are excellent at training your core in a functional way — assisting with stability, posture and spinal alignment — the move alone will not give you a six pack. Diet, total-body strength training and cardio exercise are also required to develop visible abs. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Read more: 3 Cardinal Rules of Fast Six-Pack Abs The Plank's Proven Benefits Research stands behind the plank as a move that effectively strengthens the muscles of the abs. The forearm plank stimulates the ab muscles of the rectus abdominus and external obliques far more than a traditional crunch, noted Pennsylvania State University researchers in an issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Medicine published in 2011. When you get into the plank position, your entire core engages. The move requires stabilization and muscle activation of not only the abs but also the muscles of the middle and lower back, pelvis and hips. Crunches and situps focus effort only on the rectus abdominus — the front sheath of abs — and miss many of these other crucial parts of your core. Unlike crunches and situps, which put stress on the vertebrae as you push your back toward the mat to curl up, planks keep the back in its intended alignment. You'll also be less likely to cause stress on the neck by pulling on it to curl up."

You said that you still hear water underneath the planks, and this quite frankly will be a tall order to dry out the hardwood floors without getting any accessibility to the subfloor underneath. In fact, the sound you maybe hearing could be the subfloor (if it is wood) as well as the hardwood planks themselves. First inspect your entire floor before going over any of the steps below on the surface to check for any discoloration or failure of the top coat polyurethane and/or stain on the wood planks as well. Water hit the surface which is luckily a first line of defense, but if those layers were broken down, replacing them is necessary."

You should be doing planks. Its just that you should be doing them correctly. It is the basis of all movements in my opinion. By planking correctly, you can transfer this neural recruitment pattern to most other movements and exercises. Unfortunately, most people know how a plank should look, they just don’t execute it correctly. Many people, trainers included, are not quite sure what muscles should be firing or how to cue clients to align their spine to get the correct muscles firing. A neutral spine is key with the glutes, quads and abs all firing at the same time. By squeezing your glutes like there is a “ quarter between your cheeks ” you will get the hips in proper position to allow the abs to fire. By firing the quads along with your glutes, you are helping your glutes line up your hips so that your spine is in a neutral position."

We also looked into Ikea butcher block counters, but when we thought of the wide plank style we came up with the idea of making them ourselves. Tools and materials you’ll need: Nail gun or hammer and nails Palm sander or just sand paper (rough and smooth sand paper)Screw gun2 Paint brushes for stain and poly Circular saw or a Table saw and Miter saw Jig saw or Hole saw Tape measure A Square or a straight edge A box of 1/2″ wood screws1 1/4″ screws or nails Angle brackets Wood glue Polyurethane Wood stain (optional) we used Dark Walnut We used 8″x 1″ and 6″x 1″ Red Oak boards2″x 3/4″ Red oak trim pieces3/4″ Plywood Sand-able and stain-able wood putty Clamps Saw Horses I know it’s a long list, but these counters will last you a long time and they look like expensive counter tops and you’ll be glad you bought all the right tools and materials when all said and done!Start by measuring your cabinets that the counter will be sitting on and cut the plywood with a 3/4″ overhang on the front. Use the same measurements for the oak except add on 1 1/2″ on the sides for your counter top overhang, now cut the oak boards to those measurements. We used two different widths of red oak boards for variety. Some of them we even ripped down to 7″ wide to fit better. This all depends on personal preference and cabinet depth. Once you have all your boards cut to size you can sand the corners and edges like we did to add that worn plank look. ( this is optional) Make sure not to sand the front corners and edge of that front board since you will be attaching the trim to the front and you want it to be as flush as possible! Sand with rough and then smooth sand paper This step was pretty time consuming, but for us was well worth the added character."

There is no fitness expert that doesn't recommend plank exercises as a way of strengthening the core muscles and achieving functional strength in general. Planks are very simple to do - you basically strengthen your body and use your elbows and feet to lift yourself up from the floor. You then remain in that position for approx. 45-60 seconds and that's it!The reason why planks are great for your abs is also simple. They hold your body in one place and your weight is distributed by your muscles. When performed often, plank exercises can transform your posture and engage your lower back and hips in order to straighten them out.

I use cable ties. The argument for cable ties is that they will not rust. I find cable ties are quicker to use than wire. If using cable ties then it is sensible to use strong ones. Regular tie wraps are rated at 18 - 50 pounds, but for rebar tying I recommend using at least 60 pound rated. For really critical joins you can even use 120 or 175 pound rated, but that's overkill. Details on where to get cable ties can be found here .

"text": "Advanced Fitness Are Planks Overrated? October 2, 2013 by Adam Bornstein 0 Comments Back in 2008 I was doing research for a story in Men’s Health when I came across a particular journal article that helped influence how many people train now their abs. The study revealed that planks activate significantly more of your rectus abdominus (the six-pack muscles) than crunches. In fact, this particular study (which was published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research) found that planks cause 100 percent activation of your six-pack, whereas crunches only led to 64 percent activation. In a time when people where already beginning to shift away from “traditional” abs exercises like crunches, many took this research to mean that planks were the best abs exercise (100 percent always sounds good). As a result, you could easily make the argument that planks have become the most popular abs exercise–or maybe the most popular exercise of all–during the last five years. Planking even became something of a national phenomenon for about 15 minutes. But the discovery of their benefits might have also been the downfall of how planks became overused. Planks look great on the surface. They apparently don’t have the downside of causing lower back pain."

"text": "Does the Side Plank Exercise Strengthen the Back?by HENRY HALSE Jan. 30, 2018The side plank, or side bridge, is a core exercise that challenges the muscles on the sides of your body to hold you body in place. Much like the regular front plank, the side plank requires concentration to stay as stiff as possible. It is more of an endurance exercise than a strength exercise but the endurance that it builds in your abdominal and lower back muscles can help protect your spine. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load It's a unique exercise because it targets muscles on the sides on the core whereas most core exercises focus on either the front or the back. These include the obliques and gluteus medius. While the back muscles are involved, they don't play as big of a role as other core and hip muscles. How To Do the Side Plank To do a side plank, start by lying on the ground on your side. Your forearm should be planted on the floor with your elbow on the ground right under your shoulder. Form a straight line from your head to your ankles with your feet and legs stacked on top of each other. From this position, simply raise your hips up and hold them in the air as long as possible."

Schurman, MS, CSCSThe Plank is an effective exercise you can do to stabilize the entire core region and strengthen the obliques, abdominals and lower back, along with muscles in the torso and legs, but it is important that you learn to do it and its variations properly, both to keep your lower back safe, and to get the most out of the exercise. For form tips on how to get it right, and for plenty of advanced options to add to your repertoire, read more about the 10 plank variations below. BEGINNER’S PROGRESSIONSNearly all the exercises described below can be performed on your knees at first, then progressed to toes as your core strength and endurance increases. Elbow/Knee Planks: Start face down on a mat with body weight evenly distributed between your elbows and knees. Keep your abdominals held tight to support the lower back, and keep your head aligned with the spine by looking directly down at your clasped hands without dropping head forward. Build up to being able to hold this static position for 30 seconds before attempting version 2. Complete 3 holds of 30 seconds with 1 minute rest or stretching (i.e. child’s pose is a good option) in between sets. Elbow/Toe Planks: Start face down on a mat with weight evenly distributed between your elbows and toes. Keep your abdominals held tight to support the lower back, and hold your body in a straight line from the shoulders down to the toes. You can pike your hips up just slightly to take any pressure off the lower back, but do not allow the hips to sag which would cause hyperextension in the back."

So, it’s no surprise that I’m often asked “what are the best core exercises?”For most people, the first exercises that come to mind are sit-ups and crunches. But I don’t recommend them. And there’s a good reason for that: Dr. Stuart Mc Gill is a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada. In the lab, Mc Gill and his colleagues have shown that one of the quickest ways to damage the lower back is to load the spine while repeatedly bending it back and forth. Which is remarkably similar to what is going on when you perform a sit-up or crunch. You might know someone whose back ‘just went’ during a simple everyday task, like picking up a pencil from the floor, lifting a bag from the car, or even just sneezing. “Very few back injuries, however, result from a single event”, says Mc Gill. Instead, most injuries to the lower back are the result of damage accumulated over time. And the event that appeared to cause the injury was simply the straw that broke the camel’s back."

These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females. Meiosis in humans happens before birth in females, and constantly after puberty in males. Meiosis is the production of gametes, the cells used in sexual reproduction, and females possess nearly their full complement of partially developed eggs at birth. Males, on the other hand, don't even begin producing sperm until puberty, after which they create tens of millions to billions per day.6k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Shourya Ahluwalia Related Questions More Answers Below Where does meiosis occur?

Which two combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a dominant allele? A trait controlled by a dominant allele will be produced if there are two dominant alleles present (homozygous dominant) or one dominant allele and one recessive allele (heterozygous). What combination of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive allele? A trait controlled by a recessive allele will be produced only when two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive) are present. Explain segregation of alleles, using pea plant traits in your example. Segregation is the process during gamete formation in which the alleles are separated from each other so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene."

Evolutionarily, this addition of vascular tissue to plants is what allowed ferns to grow up and out rather than just spreading along the ground. The more primitive mosses rely on osmosis and diffusion for material movement and need to stay in close contact with the ground. With the addition of vascular tissue, water, nutrients and food could now be transported throughout a taller plant. The first type of vascular tissue, xylem, is responsible for moving water and nutrients throughout the plant. As the xylem cells reach maturity they die, losing their cellular contents. The external cell walls remain intact. These cell walls are stacked end to end forming long tubes from the roots, through the stems, up to the leaves. As water vapor exits the leaves through the stomata, a process known as transpiration, a vacuum is created, pulling more water from the roots up the xylem tube."

"text": "\"DISCUSSION OF HOW FUNGI REPRODUCEFungal reproduction can be sexual, asexual or both. While sexuality in humans and other mammals is easy to understand we must examine the subject in a little more detail to understand how the term can apply to fungi. As in humans, sexuality in fungi involves combining genetic information from two parents in one or more offspring. Although the offspring may resemble one or both parents they are each unique in that they possess some traits from both. Read the section below for a more detailed discussion of the concepts of sexuality and life histories. Asexual reproduction is a simple cloning process, passing on the traits of a single parent to the offspring. All offspring are identical to each other and to the parent. The Biology of Sexuality First of all we must deal with mitosis and meiosis. These two terms describe how the nucleus of a cell divides and distributes its DNA. The DNA (genetic material) contained in the nucleus of a cell is divided up into a number of ribbon-like units called chromosomes."

By Aparna Vidyasagar, Live Science Contributor | October 15, 2015 01:20am ETMOREMeiosis is the process whereby chromosomes are copied, paired up and separated to create eggs or sperm. Credit: NIGMS. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores, sperm and egg cells. All cells originate from other cells. The primary mechanism by which this occurs is through cell division. In general, this process involves a “parent” cell splitting into two or more “daughter” cells. In this way, the parent cell is able to pass on its genetic material from generation to generation. Cell structure Based on the relative complexity of their cells, all living organisms are broadly classified as either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, consist of a single cell with a simple internal structure."

In mammals, oogenesis occurs in the ovarian follicle of the ovary. Oogonial transformation into oocytes (oocytogenesis) is completed either before or shortly after birth. Further development comes to a rest during prometaphase I of meiosis, known as the dictyate stage, until puberty triggers oogenesis. In ascaris, the oocyte does not even begin meiosis until the sperm touches it. Oogenesis is the process in which the primary oocyte turns to an ovum undergoing meiosis. At first there is a diploid oocyte called the primary oocyte. Meiosis I occurs in which synapsis occurs and tetrads form and crossing over as well and this becomes the secondary oocyte and the first polar body."

If there is/are cell (s) absent in any part of the body, mitosis occurs to replace the missing cell (s). So basically, if an organism is able to keep all its cells from being harmed in any way, mitosis will never be required as no cell will need replacement. Meiosis: Cells undergo meiosis to form gametes (sex cells). These cells are able to fuse with the opposite gamete in order to fertilize and create offsprings. If meiosis did not occur, the continuity of any species that reproduced sexually would be in jeopardy.

This helps cells perform three main kinds of work: mechanical work, transport work, and chemical work.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Why do cells need glycolysis to produce ATP? Cells need glycolysis because glycolysis does not require oxygen to produce ATP.

electrons that trap the sun's energy pass the energy to high energy carriers such as ATP, where it is stored in chemical bonds Bio Ch 3 Define carbon fixing reactions (also known as light independent reactions or the Calvin-Benson cycle) the second stage of photosynthesis in which the stage of photosynthesis in which the energy trapped and converted during the energy trapped an converted during the light dependent reactions is used to combine carbon molecules into sugars Bio Ch 3 What universal laws govern how the cells of living things gather and use energy? Energy flowing from the sun is trapped via photosynthesis in the chemical bonds of sugar molecules. A hummingbird sips sugar concentrated in flower nectar, and the bird's cells break down the sugar molecules in the presence of oxygen, releasing stored chemical energy; this process is called cellular respiration. Energy transformations in cells are inefficient, and energy is lost as heat w/ every step; thus it takes many pounds of sugary nectar to make and maintain a few ounces of hummingbird tissue. Throughout the universe, energy can be transformed from one state to another, but the conversion is always inefficient and heat is produced Bio Ch 3 What are the energy routes and carriers in living things? In chemical reactions, chemical bonds break and reform and atoms become rearranged into new molecules. The starting substances are reactants; the new substances are products. Some reactions release energy and are spontaneous; some ownt proceed unless they absorb additional energy. The power for energy absorbing reactions in the cell comes from energy releasing reactions, and these two kinds are linked in chains of reactions called metabolic pathways. ATP is the most common energy carrying molecule in the cell."

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their food. They use carbon dioxide and water, along with energy from the sunlight, to produce carbohydrates/ glucose. Formula: During respiration, glucose is oxidised (reacted with oxygen) and energy is released in the form of ATP. The glucose is broken down completely into C02 and water. Formula:glucose + oxygen ———-> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)Both reactions use similar products - CO2, water, oxygen and glucose. Photosynthesis is almost the opposite of respiration, however the former requires sunlight energy, whereas the latter doesn’t.2.4k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below How is photosynthesis similar to cellular respiration?

"text": "\"Aerobic Respiration: Definition, Equation, Evolution and Function November 30, 2017 Oleh abid abdullah AEROBIC RESPIRATION is a biological process that takes energy from glucose and other natural compounds to create a molecule called Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP). ATP is then utilized as energy by nearly every cell in the body– the largest user being the muscle system. Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis, development of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transportation chain. Aerobic respiration is the procedure whereby oxygen-breathing animals turn fuel, such as fats and sugars, right into energy. Respiration is a procedure made use of by all cells to transform gas, which has saved energy, right into a usable type. The product of respiration is a molecule called ATP, which can quickly utilize the energy kept in its phosphate bonds to power chain reaction the cell has to make it through. Aerobic respiration is respiration that uses oxygen as a catalyst. Aerobic respiration is a lot more efficient, and produces ATP a lot more rapidly, than anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen). This is because oxygen is an outstanding electron acceptor for the chain reaction. The intricate process of aerobic respiration is highlighted in this visuals."

As one of the most evolutionary distinct mammals alive, the platypus is instantly recognizable for its broad flattened bill, dense waterproof fur, webbed feet, and long thick tail. While this species is most famous for being among the very few mammals to lay eggs, the following are some lesser-known fun facts about platypus. Did You Know? You can use \"\"platypuses\"\" or \"\"platypus\"\" as the plural for the animal. \"\" Platypi\"\" is technically incorrect but very fun to say.

They are not found in any other country. Platypuses live throughout eastern Australia, both in coastal areas and along inland waterways, and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests. Platypuses live in burrows that they dig on the banks of freshwater creeks, rivers, lakes and dams. The female digs a chamber at the end of a long burrow where she shelters her young. They spend their time searching for food in rivers and lakes, and are thus considered semi-aquatic. Platypuses do not live in New Zealand, nor anywhere else overseas."

The monotremes are typified by laying eggs rather than bearing live young, and by structural differences in their brains, jaws, digestive and reproductive tracts, and other body parts compared to the more common mammalian types. However, like all mammals, the female monotremes nurse their young with milk. Monotremes are traditionally referred to as the mammalian subclass Prototheria. The only surviving examples of monotremes are all indigenous to Australia and New Guinea although there is evidence that they were once more widespread including some extinct species in South America. [ 4] The existing monotreme species are the platypus and four species of echidnas. There is currently some debate regarding monotreme taxonomy.

Like all mammals, monotremes are warm-blooded, covered with fur and nurse their young. Animals are so interesting because they don’t always follow the rules. Some mammals lay eggs; some snakes give birth to live young. Birds are in fact the only class of vertebrates that reproduce solely by laying eggs.

They are not found in any other country. Platypuses live throughout eastern Australia, both in coastal areas and along inland waterways, and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests. Platypuses live in burrows that they dig on the banks of freshwater creeks, rivers, lakes and dams. The female digs a chamber at the end of a long burrow where she shelters her young. They spend their time searching for food in rivers and lakes, and are thus considered semi-aquatic. Platypuses do not live in New Zealand, nor anywhere else overseas."

They have a constant physical contact with underground Pleiadian bases in Himalaya and under Bora-Bora island. Their official public contact is Cobra. With assistance from the Confederation, they have cleared all remaining Reptilian forces from this solar system. Shortly after the year 2000 they have also cleared all subterranean Reptilian bases in severe battles. Then they shifted their focus towards clearing most black budget military programs and technologies, which they did successfully. After that they have placed their agents inside the military and alphabet agencies to help the Positive Military group with their Plan that is coming to fruition now. Main motivation of the Resistance Movement is to help liberate the planet, so they can stop living in caves and move on to more prospective missions elsewhere in the Galaxy."

Enjoy. * ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*On January 24, 1989, after languishing on death row for nearly a decade, Ted Bundy was executed by the State of Florida. He had been convicted of the murders of three women, and was suspected of thirty more, but had remained adamant about his innocence until the eve of his execution. Finally, hours before his death, Bundy began to confess. As he described his crimes, an estimated crowd of five hundred gathered outside the prison, selling T-shirts, drinking beers, and celebrating the imminent death of the man who had for so long seemed a larger-than-life caricature of evil, refusing to display guilt, fear, or even a belief in his own mortality. Finally, his time had run out. Though Bundy refused to confess to any crime greater than shoplifting during the time he spent on death row, he had allowed journalists Hugh Aynesworth and Stephen Michaud to interview him about “the person” who had committed the murders of which he was accused—citing his expertise as a former psychology major as the basis of his insights. In the interviews, Bundy described a conflict between “the normal personality” and an “entity” that slowly began “to demand more of the attention and time of the individual.” At one point, he compared the entirety to a cancer, though he remained unsatisfied with the metaphor, as “one has no control over…a malign tumor, and yet, one would think that an individual would have control over the development of something purely psychological.”"

As insects are the most diverse form of life on earth, pretty much every organic (in the chemistry definition of the word, as in carbon-based) material on earth can be consumed by some species of insect at some stage of its life. To start, pretty much every plant and plant part can be eaten. Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, sap, bark, wood, spines, pollen, nectar seeds, fruits, spores, etc. Different species can specialize on certain parts: for example, there are xylem specialists and phloem specialists (the two types of plant saps). It is safe to say that for every part of every species of plant on earth, an insect exists that can eat it.

The soul structure is generally a species soul pool, but as species become more advanced, individual members of the species may differentiate themselves by more varied individual learning.3 rddensity - human Lessons of 2 nddensity continue in more complex forms, as in battles for social domination, more survival etc. Individually acquired personality and individual learning play a greater role than in 2 nddensity. Humans are divided into preadamics, who share a species-like soul pool and Adamics, who have an individuated soul. The specific lesson of third density is however making a choice of orientation of service, towards service to others in its greatest possible manifestation or service to self in its greatest possible manifestation.

One of the reasons for these dietary disorders occurring is that the younger starseeds have very powerful unconscious memories of living on the Pleiades, in tinier & thinner bodies. They are used to eating ting amounts o food which on the Pleiades is normal. These starseeds are unaware that it is impossible to eat such tiny amounts of food on earth and remain healthy...!They need to realize that they are NOW on EARTH inhabiting a human body which needs larger amounts of food to sustain it. They are not on the Pleiades, inhabiting a Pleiadian body which also takes nourishment from pranic energy. If you are currently suffering from an eating disorder and you wish to overcome the illness, you are encouraged to follow recommendations which are below:1) The first thing to do is fully realize that the human body does need certain amount of solid food to remain healthy & strong.

Differentiating between these extraterrestrial races in terms of physical appearance, motivations and activities is essential for all wanting to fully comprehend the extraterrestrial phenomenon. What follows are extracts from the writing of Alex Collier who had numerous contact experiences by an extraterrestrial race allegedly from the constellation of Andromeda. An excellent interview of Alex Collier by prominent UFO investigative journalist, Paola Harris who found him to be credible, gives much background information on him and can be found HERE. The extracts concerning the different extraterrestrials races from which this typology is based are drawn from either Alex Colliers book Defending Sacred Ground [DSG] or from Letters from Andromeda [LFA]. In what follows, I will cite the source for the extract at the time of publication. I have not edited these extracts and left them as found in the original documents. Minor editorial changes have been done in consultation with Alex Collier and Jon Robinson the former editor of Letters from Andromeda who approved what follows. The information contained in Alex Collier’s description of extraterrestrial races is consistent with the testimony of many other contactees/whistleblowers that can be found in another typology of extraterrestrial races which I wrote in July 2004 and incorporated some of Collier’s descriptions. Based on my own exopolitical research, my analysis of Alex Collier’s writing, a personal interview and follow up communications with him, my evaluation is that he is a genuine contactee, and offers credible and accurate information based on his direct face to face experiences with an extraterrestrial race known as the Andromedans. I believe understanding the political implications of Alex Collier’s information is vital for developing a comprehensive understanding of exopolitics and for the conduct of any citizen based diplomatic initiatives with extraterrestrial races."

They are a great addition to a garden, as they attract butterflies and are ignored by deer. Plumbagos are bushy plants that can grow 3-10 feet high and just as wide, according to Gardening Central. The shrub produces tube-like flowers that are an inch wide and are made up of five petals. Blue is the most common petal color, but plumbago can also bear white flowers. Plumbago plants are hardy and self-sufficient. After planting, little maintenance is involved in order to properly care for plumbago. Water plumbago plants until the soil around the plant is moist. Allow the area to dry before the next watering session. Plumbago plants are drought tolerant and typically do not need watering more than twice per week during warmer summer months."

"text": "\"Deer Resistant Plants (Shrubs & Trees) and Flowers ( Annuals & Perennials)Making your Landscape Deer Resistant Have you ever felt that some landscapes are a buffet for deer? You've probably also noticed that deer like to eat some plants more than others. But why and which ones? In this article is a list of d eer resistant plants, flowers, shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, as well as give some tips on how to send the deer somewhere else (after all, they are still going to eat, just hopefully not your dream garden! ) Same Night, Same Deer The chances are very very good that the same deer are visiting your landscape each and every night. These same deer will continue to eat the plants they like the best, until they are gone, or grow back. Once the preferred choice is gone, they are going to start trying the other plants around your landscape. ( Kinda like our own pantries)It all Starts with the Babies The baby deer, fawns, are actually trained by their mothers to which plants are preferred plants. If you can use deer deterrents at just the right time, you may be able to send the fawns to enjoy the garden down the street, and like it for years to come, breaking generations of deer returning to your landscape. Deer Resistant Chemicals and when to apply: Sprays: Deer Off, Liquid Fence, No Deer Zone, and Imustgarden Deer Repellent are all very good choices."

"text": "Perennial Plants for South Texas Landscapes Perennial plants may be defined as those which endure or persist from the same root part year to year. Once a prominent part of nearly every Texas landscape, perennials are often overlooked by today’s gardeners and nurserymen. Although many species still can be found in private gardens, their availability is often restricted to sharing among friends and neighbors. Most perennials are easily propagated by division, seed or cuttings. Division is particularly successful since it not only provides new plants but is often necessary for the continued vigor of plants. Perennials can be highly useful and attractive in the home landscape. They often persist for many years and usually require less maintenance than annuals. They can provide long seasons of color and cut flowers while enhancing overall landscape development. If a perennial border is more than you care to attempt as your initial experience with perennials try adding a few to existing plantings. Many perennials have attractive foliage and are an asset even when not in flower."

"text": "PLANTS IN HIGH TEMPERATURESPlants have evolved to time their seed germination, flowering and fruit/seed formation within particular temperature ranges (often regulated by day length). Their distribution geographically is also limited by high and low temperatures. Extreme conditions affect plant performance, survival and reproduction. In 2012, in the Denver-Boulder area, we had record-setting high temperatures: We tied the all-time high of 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and June was the hottest on record. We endured 73 days over 90 degrees and 13 days of 100 degrees or more (in the last 140 years, there have been only 83 days of 100 degree temperatures in the Denver area). And because drought accompanied the heat, 62 of Colorado’s 64 counties were declared crop disaster areas by the US Secretary of Agriculture. In our own gardens and yards, some plants performed poorly even though we could water them. Tomatoes, for example, will drop blossoms and not set fruit if temperatures are over 90 degrees. In Arizona where temperatures soared above 120 degrees, some plants died even with irrigation. Whether global climate change is a long-term or a short-term cycle, we gardeners are going to have to learn some new tricks."

"text": "\"History of Maine Tourmaline First Discovery1820 was one of the most important years in Maine's history. In that year, Maine was granted statehood and became the 23rd state in the United States of America. In that same year, tourmaline was discovered in the mountains of western Maine. Augustus Choate Hamlin, son of Elijah Hamlin, one of the original discoverers, spent most of his life exploring Mt. Mica in search of treasures hidden there. He also carefully documented the work of his father, as well as his own and others, and his History of Mount Mica, published in 1895 gives us a complete account of the original discovery - in a description so vivid it is truly a link back in time, to that autumn of 1820. His work is gratefully acknowledged as the major source of our information concerning the discovery of tourmaline in Maine. This discovery was made by two students who had become interested in mineralogy, and who spent much of their leisure time searching for minerals among the exposed ledges and mountains around the village of Paris, Maine. Late in the autumn of 1820, and on one of its clear, calm days, Elijah Hamlin and Ezekiel Holmes started out to explore the range of hills which formed the eastern boundary of the town of Paris, and which stretch away to the northwest. They had spent most of the day on Mount Mica, part of the mountain ridge to the south of the village, and were descending the western declivity on their way home, just as the sun was setting behind the great White Mountain range, fifty miles or more away on the western horizon. Young Hamlin hesitated for a moment on the crest of a hill to enjoy the entrancing scene which spread before him, and on turning to the east for one final look at the woods and mountains behind him, a vivid gleam of green flashed from an object on the roots of a tree upturned by the wind, and caught his eye."

In fact, it is idyllic until you realise that they love to eat your favourite flowers - the prettier the flower, the tastier it is. The deer are undeterred by thorns and prickles and will come right up to the door to munch on their best delicacy - roses. After 20 (expensive) years of trying to outwit these animals, I have decided that the best approach is to plant flowers and shrubs that the deer do not like. The list below is a combination of trial and error and research on the Internet.

It is gray to black, opaque, has a metallic luster, and has a black streak. ( Streak is the color of a mineral when it is crushed to a powder).

By Kennedy Warne Photograph by Tim Laman Mangroves live life on the edge. With one foot on land and one in the sea, these botanical amphibians occupy a zone of desiccating heat, choking mud, and salt levels that would kill an ordinary plant within hours. Yet the forests mangroves form are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth. Birds roost in the canopy, shellfish attach themselves to the roots, and snakes and crocodiles come to hunt. Mangroves provide nursery grounds for fish; a food source for monkeys, deer, tree-climbing crabs, even kangaroos; and a nectar source for bats and honeybees. As a group, mangroves can’t be defined too closely. There are some 70 species from two dozen families—among them palm, hibiscus, holly, plumbago, acanthus, legumes, and myrtle. They range from prostrate shrubs to 200-foot-high (60 meters) timber trees. Though most prolific in Southeast Asia, where they are thought to have originated, mangroves circle the globe."

As Hesse et al. ( 2009b: p. 27) noted \"\"Nature itself neither needs categories nor has any knowledge of them\"\" and \"\"categories are artifical and always delimited by an individual or collective convention\"\". Humans make and define botanical terms, and we use them to facilitate communication, although all too often they seem to be as much an impediment to our understanding as anything else. This raises a second important point. As mentioned in the Introduction, definitions should as far as possible follow current usage, rather than etymology or original definitions (see, e.g. Rickett 1954-56). However, current usage is all too often not consistent, and this is one of the major failings of botanical terminology. As Rickett (1954 p. 2; emphasis in original) noted, \"\"To be uncertain whether \"\"glabrous\"\" means \"\"free from hairs and roughness\"\" or only \"\"free from hairs\"\" is as bad as if π [pi] should stand sometimes for the ratio of a circle to its diameter and sometimes for something else; or as if Cu meant sometimes \"\"copper\"\" and sometimes \"\"brass\"\".

New Yorkers grow lettuce and tomatoes on fire escapes. New Orleanians have elevated balcony gardening to an art form. Urban Texans increasingly are joining the small-gardening movement, transforming balconies and terraces into upstairs green spaces. Patrick Murphy, owner of the Perennial Potter, designs high-rise gardens for his San Antonio clients by first considering how the space will be used. Will a sitting area with a few pots do, or will the space be used to entertain? Style and color preferences are important in selecting furniture, plants and containers, Murphy says. They should complement the look of the home. \"\" Consider the view from inside when placing objects outside on a balcony or terrace,\"\" he adds.

"text": "Deer Resistant Plant List for the Rogue Valley One of the most common challenges of gardening in the Rogue Valley is the plentiful deer population. Selecting deer resistant plants is often hit-and-miss and, to compound the problem, not all deer have the same tastes. What is deer resistant in Jacksonville may not be deer resistant in Eagle Point or Ashland. Shooting Star has gained expertise working with customers throughout the region as well as designing landscapes that incorporate deer resistant plants. Hesperaloe It is important to remember that deer resistant does not mean deer proof! Deer may develop a taste for any new plant depending on the season, when it was planted, how much water it gets, and a host of other factors. If you find deer nibbling the tender growth of your newly planted flowers or shrubs, be patient and observe their behavior. They may simply try it and then leave it alone. Putting a wire cage around all new trees is recommended. Whether they are deer resistant or not, deer may nibble on the new or lower growth, or scrape their antlers on the trunk causing damage that can be irreversible."

"text": "Vitex, Texas Lilac, or Chaste Tree Vitex agnus–castus Deciduous large shrub or small tree with distinctive palmately compound leaves. Profuse spikes of lavender flowers, blooming heavily in the early summer, and then sporadically throughout the summer and fall. Vitex is heat, drought and pest tolerant. ‘ Texas Lilac’ is our group designation for several recommended cultivars including ‘Montrose Purple,’ ‘Le Compte,’ and ‘Shoal Creek,’ all of which are considered Texas Superstars®. Hardiness: Zone 7Exposure: Full sun; partial sun Size: Height — 10–15 feet tall; width — up to 15 feet wide Bloom time: May till frost Care: Vitex is coarse growing and will become a small tree quickly; flowering is more spectacular if the plant is pruned heavily after bloom Note: A concern has been raised about the “invasive” nature of vitex. Vitex is not on the official list of noxious plants/invasive plants published by the Texas Department of Agriculture or by the USDA. Having said this, there is a concern about its weedy nature in certain areas. On the texasinvasives.org website, it is listed as “Found in limestone outcrops and dry creek beds throughout Central Texas.” We would caution persons in these favorable environments about potential weediness. The opinion of the Texas Superstar® Board is that vitex can be safely used as an ornamental in all parts of the state that do not fit this description."

A: Quick Answer As of 2015, renting a PODS storage unit costs anywhere between $100 to $200 per month, depending on the size of the unit. PODS come in 7-foot, 12-foot and 16-foot units.

What Are the Benefits of Climate-Controlled Storage Units? Full Answer Additional charges for delivery of the empty PODS unit to a home apply, and this amount also depends on the size of the storage unit. A 12-foot storage PODS unit typically costs $110 to deliver, as of 2015. The contents of a 1,200-square-foot home should fit in a 12-foot storage PODS unit, while the contents of a 1,600-square-foot home should fit in a 16-foot storage unit. If the unit is being used for storage while remodeling one or two rooms, it's best to rent the 7-foot unit."

A simple way to calculate how long it takes for a laundry set to pay for itself.72 Comments Tyler Wells Lynch May 20, 2013Facebook Twitter Email Do you save money by going to the laundromat, or does it pay to buy your own washer and dryer? There are way too many variables from person to person, family to family to say for sure. However, we can guide you through the math to help you decide for yourself. We’ve even developed a formula for determining the payoff period of buying a washer and dryer set. First, you need to figure out the prices at your local laundromat. Next, determine the price for the machines that you use. Factor in how many loads you usually run, as well as how often you do your laundry. I tend to do a single load of laundry every week. Kirkland Cleaners, my local laundromat in Cambridge, MA, charges $2.25 per load, and $0.25 per 7 minutes of drying time."

Cocoa production in Queensland is in its infancy; producers are located along the wet tropical coast from the Daintree region to south of Tully and focused around the towns of Mossman and Innisfail. The embryonic industry is currently producing cocoa for boutique chocolate manufacture through on-farm processing or by selling to aligned chocolatiers. Currently, production is on a small scale, but is expected to expand with a unique, Australian 'origin' bean selling to domestic and international specialist chocolate manufacturers. On this page: About the cocoa tree Climate requirements Environmental requirements Propagation and land preparation Harvesting and processing. About the cocoa tree Cocoa ( Theobroma cacao) is a tropical tree crop originating from the Amazon basin where it grows in the shaded rainforest understorey and can reach 20 m in height. The tree produces pods that contain about 40 cocoa beans surrounded by a sweet tasting pulp. When fermented and processed, the beans produce one of the most desired flavours in the world - chocolate. Cocoa seedlings have a single main stem that grows vertically to a height of 1-2 m. The bud then forms three to five branches (the jorquette) that grow out at an angle as fan branches. Further upright suckers (chupons) emerge below the jorquette and grow up through the fan branches forming more jorquettes and further whorls of fan branch growth."

"text": "How to use pods for moving?by Ethan Greenfieldon Nov 4, 2015. One of the very first and most important decisions to make when planning a residential move is to choose an appropriate method of moving your household across the country. Solving the ultimate dilemma “ hiring professional movers vs. self-moving ” may prove to be quite a challenge as both options have considerable advantages and disadvantages in terms of convenience, security, costs, etc. Moving by yourself may be lighter on your budget and may give you the chance to do things your way but it requires great efforts, lots of time, previous experience, and the assistance of reliable friends. Using professional moving services may take most of the relocation burden off your shoulders as the movers will do all the heavy work and will take care of the numerous organizational details related to your move, but you’ll have to conform to their rules and schedules, to watch out for moving scams, etc. If none of these alternatives suits all your needs and preferences, as well as your available time and moving budget, you may want to consider a third option that combines different advantageous aspects of the self-moving process and the professional moving process – using pods to move. Portable moving containers may provide the most beneficial solution for your particular moving needs. What are moving pods? Moving pods are portable storage containers that can be rented and used either to store your belongings for a certain period of time or to move them to another location. The moving containers are dropped off, picked up and transported by the company you have rented them from for a certain fee."

"text": "Posted on: December 3rd, 2013 by Tricia Gallagher 9 Comments With rising health care costs and the Great Recession still very much intact, the need for affordable senior housing is on a steep up rise. Multiple countries within the United Kingdom, as well as Japan, Korea, Australia, and Brazil are faced with high retiree to worker ratios and those numbers are anticipated to keep rising astronomically. In the United States, children of the baby boomer generation are beginning to see the same issues developing. As a result, Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to secure affordable living accommodations that ensure proper care and safekeeping for their elderly family members. According to the AARP,“Although the number of older adults in the United States continues to grow, the absolute number of certified nursing home residents has slowly but steadily declined since 2000…”Nursing homes do offer sustainability, skilled care, and around-the-clock supervision for our loved ones. But, who besides the rich can afford them? You might as well forget about having anything left over out of any savings or retirement accounts, because Medicare will not cover anything until after our loved ones exhaust all of their own financial resources – even then Medicare is limited as to what it will cover. Furthermore, it can be extremely disheartening, not only for us, but for our loved ones as well, to lose that sense of autonomy and be far away from family. To combat this problem, a new trend has developed overseas and is becoming increasingly popular here in the United States as well. “ Transitional homes,” also referred to as “Granny Pods,” are being manufactured to offer families an alternative to placing their loved ones into a senior care facility."

"text": "Buy or Lease Your Next Car?by Ric Edelman It’d be easy for me to tell you to take the bus or keep your junker for another 140,000 miles, but that’s not realistic. Besides, you know all that stuff anyway. So, since you’re going to get a new car no matter what I say, let’s answer the question: Should you buy it or lease? Let’s take the example of a car whose sticker price is $34,000. To buy it, with a 7% four-year loan and a down payment of 20% ($6,800), your payment would be $650 a month. However, if you were to lease instead, you would pay a one-month refundable security deposit and your payment would be $450 a month. Thus, leasing would save you $200 a month, and you would need only $450 down, not $6,800 (plus, in both cases, sales tax). This is why leasing is so popular. Why Lease Payments Are So Cheap Economically speaking, cars consist of three parts: equity (ownership), depreciation (loss in value over time), and interest expense (on the loan, if any). If you finance the purchase of a car, you pay for all three parts, and you will own the vehicle in, say, four years."

"text": "Homemade Vanilla Extract – Better & Cheaper Than Store-Bought (FAK Friday)By Willow Arlen on October 5, 2013 121Who doesn’t love vanilla extract? If you’ve ever done any baking, you know it finds its way into nearly every recipe. Even if it’s just a little, a bit of vanilla can add that extra something to make a dessert special. Even chocolate can be enhanced by a few drops of the stuff!It’s no surprise, then, that I go through vanilla like there’s no tomorrow. It can be expensive to keep stocked up on the good stuff, though, so instead I’ve been trying to keep a supply going of my own. Not only is it cheaper, but the flavor is worlds apart from your average extract. Making your own vanilla extract is one of the easiest things you can do, and it can save you loads of money verses the stuff sold in stores. I estimated that a quart of my homemade extract cost me around 30 bucks to make (that’s about $7.50 per 8oz bottle, as compared to the $10-20 you might expect to pay at the store). And that includes the fancy little jars and labels — to make things even cheaper, you can skip the bottles and just store your extract in mason jars, or old (clean) wine bottles. Plus, homemade extract is great for gifting."

Robert Moreschi Answered on 3/4/2013PODS are a great innovation in the moving and storage industries. They are portable storage units that are conveniently delivered to your home, where you can then pack them with whatever you want before either placing them in a storage unit for a predetermined amount of time, or have them shipped to your new home. These portable units are incredibly convenient and are delivered and picked up for you, without a need for you to do anything but pack it, and for that reason, they tend to be fairly expensive. Convenience is a highly sought-after commodity for most of us, especially those of us who are moving and are caught up in all of hectic and controlled chaos that often comes with it. The less work we have to do, the better! However, the price that you pay for your POD is going to depend on a number of different factors that are specific to your move. PODS come in three different sizes, 7-foot containers, 12-foot containers, and 16-foot containers. Pricing for the PODS varies depending on where in the country you're located, as well as where you plan on moving."

An Imposing Story Page imposition is a system used by printers to save paper when printing. Printing pages in the way that we read them (one page at a time) would be quite wasteful. Instead, book printers print pages in sets of 16 or 32 (or 4 or 8). However, instead of using readers' spreads (with pages 2 and 3 together), they use printers' spreads, so that when the pages are folded, cut and collated they form a conventional book layout. If you are printing a book or booklet yourself, it is useful to know how this works. Printers' spreads start with the first and last pages together and end with the middle pages together."

Nutritional problems occur due to a number of reasons besides the actual lack of a particular nutrient in the media or water. Understanding overall plant nutrition and the needs of Adeniums is key to solving and preventing nutritional problems in Adeniums. A generalized nutritional deficiency in a grafted Adenium: closer examination found that the plastic wrap around the graft was too tight and was girdling the stem. The commonest cause of Disease problems are due to over watering. This can be defined as watering in excess of the plants needs to the extent of causing harm. The amount and frequency of water applied to constitute over watering would thus be governed entirely by the plant's needs and its reaction to excess water. Thus in a media like Taiwan's stone chips and warm conditions, it would be virtually impossible to over water while in a media consisting of rotten, sticky peat and cool conditions, it would be very difficult not to do so. Pest problems tend to be concentrated on soft new growth and early in the gowing season one needs to keep an eye out for pest build up."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:15If you’re into baking cakes and other desserts, you must often have wondered about the difference between vanilla extract and vanilla essence. Different recipes call for either, but it’s important to understand how the two differ. Simply put, both vanilla essence and vanilla extract are used as flavoring agents in desserts, breads, cakes, puddings, frostings, etc. Before I found out what vanilla extract was, I would feel I was missing out by using vanilla essence as a substitute. That’s because almost all international dessert recipes call for vanilla extract. However, when I finally began using it, I found hardly any difference in the taste of the final product. But when it comes to cost, vanilla extract is far, far more expensive."

"text": "\"Preventing a Migraine Headache (Preventative Medications)Migraine prophylaxis or migraine prevention refers to the use chronic treatment of patients in order to prevent the development of a migraine headache from occurring. Most patients with recurrent headaches that are frequent and disabling have migraine headaches. Therefore recurrent headache treatment usually includes taking a daily medication but this is not always the case. Most neurologists would agree that patients who have two (2) or more headaches (of any type) a week should be placed on a preventative to decrease the risk of their headaches becoming rebound. Even patients with fewer headaches that do not respond to acute treatment should be considered. It is critical that the patient has a physician who listens to them and takes a history as to the number of headache free days and not just the \"\"migraine days\"\" or severe headache days. Dr. Loftus thinks of migraine treatment as a \"\"team sport\"\" and it is most critical in patients with frequent migraine requiring a prevention. See what Dr. Loftus' patients say about his practice here. Rebound headache is a type of daily headache which occurs from the overuse of pain medications and is much more difficult to treat than frequent sporadic migraines. The use of prophylaxis in patients having fewer than two headaches a week is common and depends upon headache frequency, the severity of the headache, the length of the individual headache, and the response to acute headache therapy."

Monosaccharides are short-ish carbon chains (mostly 3–7 for naturally occurring sugars) with multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups, usually one per carbon and usually have the generic formula Cx (H2O)y. By far the most common monosaccharide is glucose. Other common ones include galactose, fructose, ribose, deoxyribose and others. Monosaccharides often form two unit disaccharides for transport within living bodies. Common examples are sucrose, maltose and lactose. Monosaccharides join up to form long chain polysaccharides with multiple subunits. They are used for storage (starch and glycogen) and for structure (cellulose and chitin). Lipids is a generic term for hydrophobic organic molecules."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry What Are the Polymers of Lipids? By Angela Libal; Updated March 07, 2018Lipids create a unique type of polymer, known for being a key component of cell membranes and hormones. Where most polymers are long chains of identical, repeating carbon-containing molecules known as monomers, lipid polymers contain an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain. This molecule varies with the type of lipid: some may fall within a carboxyl group, a glycerol group or a phospate group. Some lipids also form polymer-like structures with another type of fat molecule, as in the case of steroids like cholesterol — but these are not considered true polymers. Lipid Characteristics The primary characteristic that all lipid molecules share is that they don't dissolve in water. This makes lipids critical for building structures that must maintain their shape when surrounded by liquid, such as cell membranes. This is also why lipids are a key component of hormones -- chemical messengers that must travel through a liquid medium. Their strong molecular bonds make lipids convenient for long-term energy storage. Lipid molecules are given their insolubility because they are formed with ester bonds: they are compounds formed from an alcohol and acid by the removal of a hydrogen atom in a water molecule."

Crystals have always attracted the curiosity of humans. Archaeologists have unearthed shells, claws, teeth, and other crystalline solids dating to 25, 000 BC that have holes, as though worn as necklaces, and engraved with symbols of magic. The treasures of the ancient Egyptian king, Tutankhamen, abound with crystals in the forms of gems and jewels. These were not only intended for personal adornment, but were designed in symbolic fashion and believed to possess mystical and religious powers. Healers used crystals in their magical rites and cures. In ancient Greece, Archimedes made a study of regular solids, and Plato and Aristotle speculated on the relationship between regular solids and the elements. In the sixteenth century, the German naturalist, Giorgius Agricola, classified solids by their external forms, and Johannes Kepler observed that snowflakes were always six-sided (circa 1611), commenting on geometrical shapes and arrangements that might produce this effect. In the seventeenth century, noted philosophers and mathematicians, including Rene ´ Descartes, Robert Hooke, and Christiaan Huygens followed and expanded Kepler ’ s postulates. In 1671, an English translation of a study by a Danish-born scientist, Nicolaus Steno, was published in London."

When you were younger, you probably enjoyed building things with blocks or stringing beads into a necklace. You were using small units to make a larger object using these small units over and over until you got the bigger item you wanted to construct. A macromolecule is constructed in exactly the same way. The term macromolecule means very big molecule. As you know, a molecule is a substance that is made up of more than one atom. The prefix macro- means 'large,' and it is an antonym of the prefix micro- which means 'very small.' Macromolecules are huge!"

Today the possum has also been introduced to New Zealand and parts of China. There are 69 different species of possum found in the far east, all of which range of size and colour. The pygmy possum is the smallest species of possum in the world, growing to just 10cm tall, where the brushtail possum can reach more than a meter in height. In general, the possum is roughly the same size and weight of a domestic cat. The possum is not to be confused with the opossum, which is found in North America and is the only marsupial which inhabits areas outside of Australia and it's surrounding islands. Possums tend to be found inhabiting bush-lands and rainforests where the possums live in hollow trees and logs. The possum lives a predominantly arboreal lifestyle meaning that the possum spends most of it's time in the trees. Possums are nocturnal animals and therefore, the possum only hunts for food in the cover of the night. The possum spends the lighter daytimes, resting in hollow trees out of site from predators."

Commonly called possums, the word “opossum” is borrowed from the Virginia Algonquian (Powhatan) language and means “white dog” or “white animal”. Most opossums have a plantigrade stance (feet flat on the ground) and the hind feet have an opposable digit with no claw. Like some monkeys, opossums have prehensile tails. Female opossums have a pouch, called a marsupium. While the females do have a placenta, it is short-lived, simple in structure, and not fully functional. The young are therefore born at a very early stage and must find their way into the marsupium to hold on to and nurse from a teat. Female opossums often give birth to very large numbers of young who are weaned between 70 and 125 days, when they detach from the teat and leave the pouch. The opossum lifespan is unusually short for a mammal of its size, usually only two to four years. Senescence is rapid."

It would be fascinating to understand the particular differences between opossum and possum with regard to some of the biological aspects. Morphology, ethology, ecology, and physiology are important to consider in discussing the differences between them. Opossum Opossums are the largest marsupial order (Order: Didelphidae) in western hemisphere with more than 100 species classified in 19 genera. Their body sizes vary between small and medium sizes. They are significant with a long snout, narrow brain case, and a prominent sagittal chest. The hairless skinny tail is another important feature to notice about opossums. Opossums like to live a solitary life, but they are not territorial animals as they move to places with higher food abundance. They are not burrowing animals, but live on trees (arboreal). Opossums have all types of teeth including sharp canines, an indication about their food habits being carnivorous."

Often they are under the very runs the skiers are using. By Janet Parker Sleeping pygmy-possum (Source: Fritz Geiser/)Related Stories Map: Mount Buller 3723For a long time it was thought that the mountain pygmy-possum was extinct. It was first described in 1895 from 15–20,000-year-old fossilised bones, but had never been sighted. Until the mid-1960s, a few similar fossil deposits were the total evidence we had that the pygmy-possum had ever existed. But, in 1966 a live male possum made a surprising debut at the University Ski lodge at Mt Higginbotham in Victoria and was finally identified both as a Mountain pygmy-possum and as very much alive. A new population at Mt Buller, Victoria, was discovered as recently as 1996, through identification of pygmy-possum fur in a predator's scat (faeces). Aborigines probably knew about the possums because each summer Aborigines travelled to the alps to hunt Bogong Moths which the possums also love to eat. The Mountain Pygmy-possum ( Burramys parvus) is the largest of Australia's five pygmy-possums and the only one that lives in the alpine zone. It lives in areas above 1300 metres, mostly in mountain plum-pine heathlands growing over boulder-fields of basalt or granite."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian Possums are causing considerable destruction to New Zealand's environment, to which they were introduced in the 1830s (for the fur trade). In New Zealand, possums are taking over native bushland, pushing out native species of birds, for which New Zealand is unique. Possums eat the birds' foods, nest in their trees, and are one of the greatest threats to native bird species. They have been recorded eating eggs and chicks from birds' nests. Their feeding habits also disrupt the food supplies for native bats, lizards and even insects. They feed on the vegetation, reducing its availability for native species, and nest in the trees, forcing smaller species out. There are no natural predators of the possum in New Zealand, so their population has increased dramatically. Possums strip the native plants of leaves, buds, flowers, fruits and seeds, meaning less chances of propagation. New Zealand trees do not have defensive chemicals of some Australian native trees, meaning the possums can continue to eat from one tree until the tree has been severely affected."

Yes, fixing the entry holes, which we call proofing, is the only way to exclude possums from your roof as under all wildlife permits any possums removed from your building must be released nearby; they will certainly try to get back in again. So our servicemen specialise in finding how possums are getting in and also blocking off any other potential holes. When we let them go, they will come back and check the roof, realise they can’t get in and move on. We can also install possum boxes if you would like to give your possum a new home.

Possums are also found in farming and urban areas within Australia. They commonly inhabit house roof cavities and fireplaces, as well as the upper reaches of barns and other outbuildings. They are intensely territorial, so competition for shelter is fierce: hence, their tendency to occupy any available space.11 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Tags: Exclusive Interviews | Gun Rights | USPS | ammo | purchase | federal | DHSUS Postal Service Joins in Federal Ammo Purchases By Cheryl K. Chumley | Monday, 14 Apr 2014 04:21 PMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet Add the U. S. Postal Service to the list of federal agencies seeking to purchase what some Second Amendment activists say are alarmingly large quantities of ammunition. Earlier this year, the USPS posted a notice on its website, under the heading \"\"Assorted Small Arms Ammunition,\"\" that says: \"\"The United States Postal Service intends to solicit proposals for assorted small arms ammunition. If your organization wishes to participate, you must pre-register. This message is only a notification of our intent to solicit proposals.\"\" Special: Powerful New Movie Reveals Alarming Threats on U. S. Border – See Trailer Here. Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Washington-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said: \"\"We're seeing a highly unusual amount of ammunition being bought by the federal agencies over a fairly short period of time. To be honest, I don't understand why the federal government is buying so much at this time.\"\" Jake Mc Guigan, director of state affairs and government relations for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said widely reported federal ammunition purchases have sparked conspiracy-type fears among gun owners, who worry that the federal government is trying to crack down on Second Amendment rights via the back door by limiting the ammo available to owners. It's not just the USPS that is stocking up on ammo. A little more than a year ago, the Social Security Administration put in a request for 174,000 rounds of \"\".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow-point\"\" bullets."

"text": "The Art Of Sending Marijuana By Mail7th July 2017 Culture Image Source Contents The Risks of Mailing Weed Mailing Marijuana – Does It Matter Where I Ship It? What Makes a Package Suspicious? Basic DON’Ts of Shipping Marijuana Which Shippers Should You Use To Ship Weed (And Avoid)? Do These to Limit Your Risks FINAL WORDAccording to U. S. News & World Report, from October 2015 to October 2016, the number of packages containing weed or weed products rose by over 18 percent over the previous two time periods (October 2014-15 and October 2013-14). Shipping weed through the mail is a federal crime – even though half the states in the country have legalized marijuana in some form. Although data is still being collected and analyzed, two of the reasons for this increase are thought to be the following: Better detection techniques and strategies Better interaction and communication between law enforcement agencies This rise comes despite the 4% decrease in the number of arrests for mailing controlled substances overall. The Risks of Mailing Weed Image Source Although shipping marijuana is a great way to share and distribute weed, and people do it every day without consequence, it is very stressful because you’re playing with fire. The only way to completely avoid trouble is not shipping weed at all – and if you do, don’t mail more than 28 grams (one ounce) because any punishment rises significantly at that point. Under the Controlled Substances Act, cannabis marijuana is still mysteriously considered a Schedule I drug, which, according to the United States government, means it has great potential for being abused; it also means that it’s not accepted as medicine. Trafficking a Schedule I drug can result in prison time if more than 28 grams is shipped."

Records of the Post Office The database has been created from a series of postal history record cards ( RG 3, volumes 3484 to 3536) documenting changes of postmasters at individual post offices located across Canada. Beginning in the early 1950s, the preparation of the cards was undertaken by the Public Affairs Unit using the files and letterbooks that were eventually turned over to Library and Archives Canada ( RG 3, series B-2 and D-3). Postal history record cards for all provinces have been entered into the database and originals have been withdrawn from consultation for preservation purposes. Unfortunately, the original register to the reports for the years 1875-1902 did not survive. The Post Office was created as a federal department in 1867. Although postal operations in Canada date back to 1755, postal services were under the control of British authorities until 1851. In 1981, the Post Office ceased to be a government department and became a Crown corporation."

One of the current schemes involves a scammer contacting someone who has an item for sale on the Internet. The person pulling the scam will send the seller a check for more than the amount of what they are purchasing, like sending a $7,000 check for a $5,000 car. They ask that the seller return the difference. By the time the check clears and is discovered to be counterfeit, the seller is out a couple thousand dollars. The target is usually a person selling a relatively expensive item on the Internet, or possibly even in newspaper classified ads. The seller is approached by an individual, usually from a foreign country, who wants to buy the item and pay with a cashier’s check. The buyer then says that he or she can only send a cashier’s check for an amount greater than the price of the item, and asks the seller to mail back a check for the difference. The difference may be several thousand dollars. The unsuspecting victim sends the buyer the difference and only later finds out the cashier’s check was counterfeit."

"text": "\"Overview: The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent branch of the federal government responsible for providing Postal Service in the United States. The USPS handles the mailing of letters and packages, sorting and delivering mail, and selling postal products like stamps, mailing supplies and commemoratives. The Postal Service has long been one of the most criticized federal operations, accused of rampant inefficiency and bloated bureaucracy. Over the past several years, the critically ill state of the economy and the widespread use of electronic communication have contributed to putting the agency into financial crisis, as it suffers annual multi-billion-dollar losses. In the past five years, mail volume has declined by more than 43 billion pieces, with single-piece First-Class letters declining by 36%. First-Class Mail volume has dropped by 50% in the past 10 years. Calls for privatizing the Postal Service have been uttered time and again, but they have yet to gain any real traction with lawmakers or the White House. The USPS has made a series of proposals to a wary Congress for ways to avoid all-out bankruptcy.more History: Before mail was delivered daily, citizens depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans to deliver messages around the country, and even to Europe. By 1639, the first official mail service in the colonies was developed by the General Court of Massachusetts. Richard Fairbanks’ tavern in Boston was chosen as the official repository for mail delivered from or going out to places overseas."

ZIP Codes Are Used For Mailing, Not Geography Share Flipboard Email Printby Matt Rosenberg Updated August 03, 2017ZIP Codes, five digit numbers that represent small areas of the United States, were created by the United States Postal Service in 1963 to aid in the efficiency of delivering the ever-increasing volume of mail. The term \"\"ZIP\"\" is short for \"\"Zone Improvement Plan. \"\" The First Mail Coding System During World War II, the United States Postal Service (USPS) suffered from a shortage of experienced laborers who left the country to serve in the military. In order to deliver mail more efficiently, the USPS created a coding system in 1943 to divide delivery areas within the 124 largest cities in the country. The code would appear between the city and the state (for example: Seattle 6, Washington). By the 1960s, the volume of mail (and population) had dramatically increased as a vast majority of the nation's mail was no longer personal correspondence but business mail such as bills, magazines, and advertisements. The post office needed a better system to manage the huge quantities of material that moved through the mail each day. Creating the ZIP Code System The USPS developed major mail processing centers on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas to avoid the transportation problems and delays of transporting mail directly to the center of cities. With the development of the processing centers, the United States Postal Service established ZIP (Zone Improvement Program) Codes."

"text": "\"African-American Postal Workers in the 20 th Century The 19 thcentury was a time of enormous change in the postal workforce – from 1802, when Congress banned African Americans from carrying U. S. Mail, to the late 1860s, when newly-enfranchised African Americans began receiving appointments as postmasters, clerks, and city letter carriers. As the 20 th century neared, the political pendulum began to swing backwards, and many gains of the immediate post-Civil War period were lost. In the early 20 thcentury many African Americans found steady, valuable jobs in urban Post Offices, but little room for advancement. Despite discriminatory employment practices, the Post Office Department was a rare avenue of opportunity for African Americans – postal jobs were coveted positions that helped lead to the emergence of a black middle class. A new era of opportunity for African-American workers began in the 1940s, when U. S. Presidents – spurred on both by civil rights organizations and war-time necessity – began using their powers of office to encourage equal opportunity in the workplace. In the 1960s the number of African-American employees promoted to supervisory positions grew exponentially, and African Americans were appointed as postmasters of the nation’s three largest Post Offices – New York , Chicago, and Los Angeles. By the end of the 20 th century African Americans comprised 21 percent of all postal employees, serving at all levels of the Postal Service. Theodore Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” [ Roosevelt ] is not so much now an American President as he is the President of the black belt. Senator Hernando D. Money to the U. S. Senate, 1903 [1]In September 1901, at age 42, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest President in U. S. history following the assassination of William Mc Kinley. A native New Yorker who was sympathetic to civil rights, Roosevelt took office at a time when southern states were steadily stripping away black voting rights and racism was on the rise."

NAICS Code (s)491110 (Postal Service)Industry Snapshot The U. S. Postal Service is one of the largest organizations in the world. In fiscal 2002, it had nearly 753,000 employees and handled about 203 billion pieces of mail through an extremely complicated system of carefully coordinated activities. In addition to the national headquarters in Washington, D. C., the U. S. Postal Service consisted of regional and field division offices that together supervised 37,683 post offices, branches, stations, and community post offices throughout the United States. The U. S. Postal Service had a fleet of more than 215,000 vehicles and shipped millions of pounds of mail daily on various airlines, making it the nation's biggest shipper. It was the second-largest civilian employer in the United States during the early 2000s, behind Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The U. S. Postal Service was created as an independent establishment out of the old Post Office Department by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 and commenced operations on July 1, 1971. The industry was highly labor intensive, with employee wages and benefits accounting for 85 percent of the system's total costs. To cope with its soaring costs, the organization increased postal rates consistently, from 6 cents at the onset of the Postal Reorganization Act to 37 cents in 2002 for first-class letters. It also faced increasing competition from private mail and package delivery services, and new technologies such as facsimile services, and electronic mail and bill paying that reduced the need for postal services. Organization and Structure The purpose of the U. S. Postal Service was to process and deliver mail to individuals and businesses within the United States."

"text": "\"Media Mail is the cheapest rate for sending books, but delivery can be delayed. The cheapest way to mail a single book of close to a pound or more is through the U. S. Postal Service’s Media Mail. The Postal Service, however, imposes strict limits on what can be sent by Media Mail. If you’re sending several books, or unusually heavy books, using Priority Mail’s flat rate packaging may give you comparable rates and be even cheaper, depending on the weight. Even if Media Mail is cheaper, it will often take longer to arrive than other mail services. Sending by Book Rate Media Mail formerly carried the name “book rate,” and the Postal Service and many people still informally refer to it by the old name. Book rate covered printed books as well as manuscripts that an author might send to an editor. The Postal Service upgraded the name to Media Mail to make clear the discount mailing services also cover video tapes, film and sound recordings on DVDs and CDs, and books on CDs. Excluded from Media Mail Items sent by Media Mail cannot include advertising, such as that found in a magazine. The Postal Service does allow books or recordings to contain incidental announcements about similar work."

Some species can be seen with the naked eye, although they are more easily observed with a hand lens or low-power microscopes. If you wish to see them, stare into the water of a pond or lake on a calm night with a flashlight beam shining from above. Secondary consumers, such as planktivorous fish or predaceous invertebrates, eat zooplankton. While photosynthesis limits plant growth to the sunlit portions of lakes, consumers can live and grow in all lake zones, although the lack of oxygen ( anoxia) may limit their abundance in bottom waters and sediments.

"text": "\"EASTERN PAINTED TURTLEChrysemys picta picta Description: Painted turtles are commonly found around quiet bodies of water. These brightly colored turtles gain their name from colorful markings along the head, neck, and shell. They often can be observed basking on logs and rocks around a body of water and will quickly scoot into water if threatened or disturbed. The medium-sized painted turtle can be distinguished by its dark shell, which has olive lines running across the carapace (upper shell), dividing the large scutes (scales). The margin of both the carapace and plastron (bottom shell) have black and red markings. The head, neck, and limbs have yellow stripes. The plastron is typically yellow, but may be stained a rust/red color. Males can be distinguished from females by their long front claws, long tail, and smaller size. The carapace of an adult usually measures from 4.5 to 6 inches in length. Range: The painted turtle is the most widely distributed North American turtle, and the only one to range across the entire continent."

"text": "\"Home >> Where fungi grow >> Parasites >> Fungal parasites of animals FUNGAL PARASITES OF ANIMALSFungi are able to grow parasitically on a great variety of animals. In fact, it would be difficult to find an animal that doesn't have fungal parasites. When a biologist speaks of animals he or she doesn't just mean the big things like lions, tigers, dogs, cats and elephants. To a biologist an animal is any organism that is multicellular, non-photosynthetic and digests its food inside its body. This definition differentiates animals from plants and fungi. It also excludes (with some intriguing exceptions) the multitude of simple organisms that we now know to be genetically only distantly related to the three large groups. Biologically speaking the kingdom of animals includes everything from the tiniest microscopic beings to large vertebrates, including ourselves. With such a wide variety of organisms to colonize it's not surprising that parasitic fungi come in a great variety of forms and have an equally great diversity of methods to do their work. It is also not surprising that the ones attacking worms or insects are quite different from those attacking birds or humans. Because of this division of labour among parasitic fungi we will examine them according to the group they attack."

"text": "\"The catbird is a stable species; throughout its extensive nesting range from British Columbia to Quebec and south to the Gulf States and the Bermuda Islands not a single subspecies has been recognized. Outram Bangs and Thomas S. Bradlee (1901) described the smaller Bermuda birds, which have narrow and shorter tail feathers and primaries as bermudianus, but this species was never accepted by the A. O. U. committee on nomenclature. It is almost universally known as the catbird, but in the south this recognized singer and mimic is sometimes locally called the black mockingbird, and in Bermuda where there are no resident Icteridae the natives have named it the blackbird. The name catbird, though a misnomer, is destined to remain. It probably originated from some casual listener who gave ear only to the short, grating, catlike call and did not hear or was not impressed by its pleasing and varied song. As a boy the name prejudiced me against this bird until I learned to know its true worth and the high place among our native birds it now holds in my estimation. Though modestly colored the catbird is exquisitely tailored and always presents a trim appearance. He is intelligent and friendly and possesses a lively and restless temperament, ever ready to be helpful to others of its kind in trouble of any sort, often coming to the aid of distracted parents in the defense of their homes and little ones. He is very playful, full of droll pranks and quaint performances. He is also an accomplished singer as well as a mimic and possesses many other admirable qualities that endear him to the bird lover who has learned to know his interesting personality."

About 1.2 × 10 8 mi 2 (4.6 × 10 7 km 2) of the Earth's surface is covered with grasslands, which make up about 32% of the plant cover of the world.

Vast and varied savannas and velds can be found in central and southern Africa and throughout much of Australia. See Savanna Grasslands occur in regions that are too dry for forests but that have sufficient soil water to support a closed herbaceous plant canopy that is lacking in deserts.

"text": "The Science of Composting While our ancestors realized that compost was helpful for growing plants and improving soil health, they did not know how or why it worked. Our knowledge about the science of composting comes from research conducted during the past 50 years – relatively recent compared to the 2000 plus years that humans have been composting. Backyard composting speeds up the natural process of decomposition, providing optimum conditions so that organic matter can break down more quickly. As you dig, turn, layer and water your compost pile, you may feel as if you are doing the composting , but the bulk of the work is actually done by numerous types of decomposer organisms. Microorganisms In A Compost Pile Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a pile. They are considered chemical decomposers, because they change the chemistry of organic wastes. The larger decomposers, or macroorganisms, in a compost pile include mites, centipedes, sow bugs, snails, millipedes, springtails, spiders, slugs, beetles, ants, flies, nematodes, flatworms, rotifers, and earthworms. They are considered to be physical decomposers because they grind, bite, suck, tear, and chew materials into smaller pieces. Of all these organisms, aerobic bacteria are the most important decomposers. They are very abundant; there may be millions in a gram of soil or decaying organic matter."

"text": "About Blow Flies Blow flies are one of the most commonly seen insects around the world. Their relatively large size and gleaming green, blue, purple or coppery color is distinctive. They usually arrive quickly after an animal dies, especially if bleeding occurred. The presence of large numbers of blow flies in structures usually indicates an animal has died in or under the structure, although Pollenia, an earthworm parasite often overwinters in structures. Worldwide the blow fly family (Calliphoridae) includes over 1000 species and 150 genera (Rognes 1991). Blow fly species are found throughout all geographical regions of the world from the poles to the equator. You may see blow fly written as one word, blowfly or blow-fly, especially in Europe, but most entomologists agree it should be written as two words, blow fly. Some common names for blow flies include bluebottle, greenbottle, black blow flies or carrion flies. Some species of blow flies invade live animal tissue causing myiasis and may be referred to as screwworm flies. There are old world screwworm flies ( Chrysomya) and new world screwworm flies ( Cochliomyia )."

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.

These aquatic insects are tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions. Chironomid midges are found in swift moving streams, deep slow moving rivers, stagnant ditches, and in lakes and ponds that are rich in decomposing organic matter. The presence of certain chironomid midges is often used as an indicator of water quality. Bodies of water in urban and suburban areas are subjected to intensive human use through residential, recreational and agricultural activities. Through runoff, these ponds and lakes often become exceedingly rich in nutrients. Consequently, the variety of organisms in such habitats is usually low with just a few pollution tolerant species developing large populations.

The reproductive system also supplies nourishment for the offspring after birth and produces female sex hormones. The main system structures of the female rat are the vagina, ovaries, uterus, and mammary glands. Reproductive organs Vagina The vagina is the short muscular canal that leads from the female rat’s uterus to the outside of the body. It lies below the urethra. The vaginal walls are lined with mucous membranes which keep it protected and moist. The vagina serves as the birth canal and also as the orifice for the acceptance of sperm during mating. When born, females have a vaginal closure membrane (vaginal plate) that typically ruptures on its own by the time the babies reach 33-42 days of age. Ovaries The ovaries are located at the distal end of the uterine horns near the kidneys. The oviducts connect the ovaries to each horn of the uterus."

"text": "Endocrine Modulators There are many substances found in our environment that may result in altered physiology of an animal if the substance is ingested. Many of these substances either have activities that give them hormone-like properties or they may affect normal endocrine-based mechanisms in the body. These types of substanses are considered as endocrine modulators. In terms of mammary gland growth and function, we would focus primarily on those that may have activities of estrogens or progesterones, or those that may alter endogenous prolactin secretion. Some of these endocrine modulators and related physioogical mechanisms are discussed below. Estrogens have a powerful role in the mammary gland, especially in growth and development. These effects may occur at all phases of mammary gland development, including a) during development of the rudimentary mammary structures when the animal is an early fetus, b) during the enhanced growth rate occurring between birth and puberty, c) during the cyclic bursts of mammary growth and regression associated with estrous cycles, and d) during the explosive mammary gland growth occurring during pregnancy. In spite of the powerful role that estrogen plays in most aspects of mammary growth throughout the life of the animal, an appreciation for the complexity and multiple levels of estrogen's actions on mammary gland growth has only recently been developed. Estrogen affects mammary growth indirectly by effects on systemic mammogenic factors (prolactin, growth hormone), and directly at the mammary tissue by effects on stromal components required for development and direct effects on mammary epithelial cells. Potential estrogenic or antiestrogenic actions of dietary phytoestrogens, or environmental substances with estrogenic activity, could alter the normal role of physiological estrogen at any of these points."

"text": "\"Pheromones are volatile, odorous substances which are released by one animal and detected by another, causing some sort of physiological reaction. These reactions can manifest themselves in a variety of different ways: some pheromones modulate sexual activity, some affect aggression, some play roles in territory marking, and other pheromones have similarly diverse effects on the target animal. Pheromones have been demonstrated in a very large number of organisms ranging from amoebas to fish to mammals, including primates. However, the question of whether human olfactory signals exist has been a question of much debate and few definite conclusions. In this paper I will look at some possible examples of odor signaling in humans. Mammals of all sorts use olfactory signals to indicate willingness to copulate, define territory, mark their young, and signal aggressive intent. These processes can be seen in many animals used as models for human systems, including rats, monkeys (both Old World and New World), hamsters and mice. The fact that pheromones are important biological signals in a plethora of other species indicates that the possibility of human pheromones should not be discarded lightly. Although humans generally rate olfaction as their least important sensory modality, we still spend billions of dollars, years of our life, and a considerable amount of effort to modify the way we smell (at least in industrialized countries). These efforts typically include scrubbing with deodorant soaps and scented shampoos, applying deodorants to those parts of our bodies we feel need deodorizing, and finally applying perfumes and sprays to replace those natural odors we just discarded down the shower drain."

The body knows how to repair what is repairable if you eat a balanced diet. Make sure you eat plenty of vegetables and protein and eat a varied diet. Stay away from empty calories like sugar and foods that are very high in fats.

One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis). The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system. [ 1] In the terminology of neuroanatomy, it forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it is the size of an almond. The hypothalamus is responsible for the regulation of certain metabolicprocesses and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviours, thirst, [2] fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms.

"text": "\"Chapter 3: Hormonal Influences on Female Sex Behavior The gonadal steroids play an important role in altering the survival or death of neurons within the brain as well regulating the development of neuronal processes (such as the number and length of dendrites and dendritic spines, or the degree of axonal branching). In this regard, we can say that steroid hormones have organizational effects that produce sex differences in the connections and functions of the brain. Gonadal steroids also have activational effects; these activational effects are transient and are thought to coordinate behavior with either an internal event, such as ovulation, or an external event, such as the presence of a sexual partner. Chapter 3 discusses the various components of female sex behavior and consider the role of estrogen and progesterone in stimulating the display of this behavior. Female sex behavior can be divided into 2 components: 1) precopulatory behaviors, also considered courtship behaviors, are important for the subsequent display of copulation, and 2) copulatory behaviors, which in the female involve the display of reflexive postures. Precopulatory Behaviors: In the female rat, precopulatory or courtship behaviors include a female's willingness to approach a male and to show solicitatious behaviors, known as proceptive behavior. There are three components to proceptive behavior: approach (in which the female approaches the male), orientation (female orients to the male in such a way that the male may sniff and groom the female's anogenital region), whenthe male approaches the female, the female will often show \"\" ear wiggling \"\" which is an extremely rapid vibration of the head which makes it appear as though the ears are wiggling; and runaway (in which female shows hopping and darting; hopping is a rapid hop with almost rigid legs, and this is combined with fast \"\"darting\"\" movements away from the male). This sequence of events: approach, orientation and runaway shown by the female rat, will induce a male rat to chase after the female, and to engage in copulation. Estrogen is important in female precopulatory behaviors in 3 m ways: 1) estrogen increases a female's willingness to approach a male to induce solicitatious behaviors, 2) estrogen can enhance the \"\"attractivity\"\" of the female: estrogen priming can induce the production of stimuli that make her more attractive to the male (odors or pheromones, vocalizations), and 3) estrogen 'primes' for progesterone. Progesterone has a biphasic effect: initially."

Rinse the pig in the sink then make the following series of cuts to expose the organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. When you cut through the body wall with a pair of scissors, lift the body wall toward you so that you do not cut into any internal organs. Once the body cavities have been exposed, again rinse out the inside of the pig. Then use string to tie the limbs around the bottom of the dissecting tray to allow the body cavity to stay open.

TAYLOR* Departments of Pathology, Marshfield Clinic, Wisconsin, USA, and * Health Sciences Centre, University of Manitoba, Canada Keywords Prepuce, embryology, development, anatomy, function, circumcision, histology Introduction The prepuce is a common anatomical structure of the male [ 1] and female [ 2] external genitalia of all human and non-human primates; it has been present in primates for at least 65 million years, and is likely to be over 100 million years old, based on its commonality as an anatomical feature in mammals [ 3 ] Certain cultures have excised the prepuce from children to conform to societal standards, while other cultures accept the complete external genitalia as normal (Fig. 1). The motives for circumcision in preliterate cultures are difficult to define, but include rites of passage, blood sacrifices and cultural markings [ 4 ]. Ritualistic, childhood genital surgery has become popular in the last several thousand years, making the prepuce the most vilified normal anatomical structure of the human body. Rather than acknowledging the prepuce as normal anatomy, some contemporary physicians consider the penile [ 5] and clitoral prepuce (or clitoral hood) [ 6,7] to be dangerous and unhealthy. However, before theoretical justifications for circumcision can be considered, a complete understanding of the normal anatomy and function of the prepuce is required. This paper reviews the embryology, anatomy and function of the prepuce. Fig. 1. A Japanese fertility festival at Nagoya; note the banner with ridged bands (arrow) of the prepuce emanating from the frenulum (photograph by Dr R. Brinsko and G. Craigmyles)."

Apes, monkeys, and prosimians such as lorises, bush babies and lemurs make up the 505 and that's of 234 species of the family tree. About 90% of primates live in tropical forests. They play an integral role in the ecology of their habitat. They help the forest by being pollinators, seed predators, and seed dispersers. Protecting and Conserving Primates Most primates live in tropical, developing countries, and humans compete with them for resources. In many parts of the world, primates are exploited for food, “medicine,” and commercial trade. Primates that raid crops are shot or poisoned. The forest habitat that is home to most species is being logged and cleared at an alarming rate by commercial loggers and subsistence farmers for land and firewood."

Together, these traits define a life-history of reduced reproductive effort. Understanding the optimal allocation of reproductive effort, and specifically reduced reproductive effort, has been one of the key problems motivating the development of life-history theory. Because of their unusual constellation of life-history traits, primates play an important role in the continued development of life-history theory. In this review, I present the evidence for the reduced reproductive effort life histories of primates and discuss the ways that such life-history tactics are understood in contemporary theory. Such tactics are particularly consistent with the predictions of stochastic demographic models, suggesting a key role for environmental variability in the evolution of primate life histories. The tendency for primates to specialize in high-quality, high-variability food items may make them particularly susceptible to environmental variability and explains their low reproductive-effort tactics. I discuss recent applications of life-history theory to human evolution and emphasize the continuity between models used to explain peculiarities of human reproduction and senescence with the long, slow life histories of primates more generally.

"text": "1) Why are nonhuman primates studied, and what kinds of research are conducted? For the most part, nonhuman primates are research subjects because they are so similar to humans, and the principal reason for this similarity is simple: humans *are* primates. Current ideas are that the first primates appeared more than 60 million years ago. In contrast, the common ancestor of humans and African apes lived only about 5-8 million years ago; so, for more than 50 million years, humans and the African apes have shared primate ancestry. Shared ancestry is a major reason why human and nonhuman primates have many characteristics in common -- tool use, long-lasting social relationships, and complex communication systems. By learning about nonhuman primates we may come to learn more about ourselves. For example, humans walk upright, on two limbs -- we are bipedal. Why might humans have evolved to be bipedal, when the vast majority of nonhuman primates are quadrupedal? Individuals of certain nonhuman primate species, however, are bipedal for some activities. By studying those species of nonhuman primates that are occasionally bipedal, and discovering the circumstances in which they display bipedality, we may gain some understanding of the factors that promoted the evolution of bipedality in humans."

All he did was forgo basic hygiene, by growing out his fingernails for an astonishingly long time. Shridar Chillal hasn't trimmed his claws in 62 years. The last time he put scissor to nail was 1952 (to place that in perspective, Harry Truman was president of the United States at the time, and gas cost 20 cents a gallon). As a result of Chillal's refusal to trim, each of the fingers on his left hand ends in a swirling mass of keratin that cumulatively measures about 30 feet (9 meters) long. Chillal's extreme fingernails raise questions — lots of questions. How does he cut his food or answer his i Phone, for example? Furthermore, how is this even possible?"

The effect is modest but is real and found throughout the world. In that respect, people are no different from wild animals. Here are some numbers for birth rates from metropolitan France, 1977, 1987, 1998 and 2007. In this data set, birth rates were highest in late winter and early spring but the degree of seasonality changed over the ears ( Choosing the Time of Year for Births: A Barely Perceptible Phenomenon in France)Data on sexual activity is harder to get. There is one report of condom sales increasing at around Christmas ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc... ). The same study reports that the number of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases varies over the course of a year. The degree of seasonality and even the peak season varies a lot with time period and geographic region.

Humans are primates, and the first members of the human species were probably more similar to living nonhuman primates than to any other animals on earth. Thus, by studying living primates we can learn something about the lives of our ancestors. Humans are closely related to primates and similar to them in many ways. If we understand how evolution has shaped the behavior of animals so much like ourselves, we may have greater insights about the way evolution has shaped our own behavior and the behavior of our ancestors. Primate social behavior [ edit]Over the past four decades, primatologists have made prolonged close-range observations of monkeys and apes in their natural habitats, and we are discovering much about social organization, learning ability, and communication among our closest relatives (chimpanzees, and gorillas) in the animal kingdom. In particular, we are finding that a number of behavioral traits that we used to think of as distinctively human are found to one degree or another among other primates, reminding us that many of the differences between us and them are differences of degree, rather than kind. The Group [ edit]Primates are social animals, living and travelling in groups that vary in size from species to species."

They are more primitive than their cousins but share certain characteristics. Found in only one area on Earth—Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands—lemurs are considered the world’s most endangered group of mammals. Today there are over 100 lemur species. Their lemur-like primate ancestor is thought to have rafted over to Madagascar from Africa about 60 million years ago. With no competition from other primates and little predation, the original lemurs evolved to fill a large number of varying niches on the island. Close-up of a ring-tailed lemur's hand. If you did not know what a lemur was, you might guess that it was related to a cat, squirrel, mouse, or dog. Lemurs are generally small in size, and their face somewhat resembles a mouse’s face in smaller species or a fox’s face in larger species. Many lemur species have a snout, and all have a wet and hairless nose with curved nostrils, which is unique among primates and makes them superior sniffers."

However, the more ancient roots of many human characteristics are revealed through the study of a broader array of living anthropoids and the increasingly dense fossil record of the earliest anthropoid radiations. Genomic data and fossils of early primates in Asia and Africa clarify relationships among the major clades of primates. Progress in comparative anatomy, genomics, and molecular biology point to key changes in sensory ecology and brain organization that ultimately set the stage for the emergence of the human lineage.primate Haplorhini Strepsirrhini human evolution phylogeny Human evolution did not begin 6–8 million years ago with the phylogenetic split between the chimpanzee and human lineages. Although the ape–human transition is of tremendous interest to specialists and the general public, many key genetic events and adaptive shifts leading to the origin of humans had already been set in motion long before this split. The seeds of these changes can be identified in the earlier branches of the primate family tree, many millions of years in the past. Changes in sensory ecology, increases in brain size, and reorganization of the brain's components set the stage for the development of language and for many of our other exceptional cognitive abilities. Recent well-publicized descriptions of fossil primates from Africa and Eurasia have reignited interest in the origins of Anthropoidea—monkeys, apes, and humans. Fossil discoveries are expanding our understanding of the diversity and biogeography of this clade. Developments in molecular phylogenetics are establishing a phylogenetic framework of living primates against which hypotheses about relationships of fossils can be tested."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology Distinguish between primates and other mammals.? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: General Characteristics Taxonomy is the science of classification of organisms. Primates are difficult to classify. Most scientists classify primates, monkeys, and apes in the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata (animals with a supporting rod along the back, this also includes sharks and rays), Subphylum Vertebrata (animals with a bony backbone), the Class Mammalia, and the Order Primates. As of 2004, there are 363 species of primates. In addition to monkeys and apes, the order includes prosimians (\"\"premonkeys\"\") such as lemurs and bushbabies as well as humans. As mammals, primates possess the mammalian characteristics of endothermy (internal regulation of body temperature, often known as warm-bloodedness), bearing live young (placental), and feeding their young with milk produced by mammary glands. Not all primates possess the same characteristics—there is no unique characteristic that defines a primate. Most shared characteristics and trends are not derived but instead are a retention of ancestral features, which also adds difficulty to classifying primates. Many of these characteristics are behavioral, or depend on soft tissue anatomy; this does not help in identifying fossil primates."

Native to the forests of Central America and the extreme north-western portion of South America, the white-headed capuchin is important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen. Among the best known monkeys, the white-headed capuchin is recognized as the typical companion to the organ grinder. In recent years the species has become popular in North American media. It is a highly intelligent monkey and has been trained to assist paraplegic persons. It is a medium-sized monkey, weighing up to 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). It is mostly black, but with a pink face and white on much of the front part of the body, giving it its common name. It has a distinctive prehensile tail that is often carried coiled up and is used to help support the monkey when it is feeding beneath a branch. In the wild, the white-headed capuchin is versatile, living in many different types of forest, and eating many different types of food, including fruit, other plant material, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. It lives in troops that can exceed 20 animals and include both males and females."

Read on to find out more about each shape—and which one fits your or your fiance's personality the best!And note, the term diamond cut does not refer to its shape. While you must cut a diamond to make a shape, the shape is essentially the overall geometry or form of the diamond (round, square and so on), while the cut is the diamond's facets and proportions—the things that give diamonds their brilliance and fire. Round = Classic Often referred to as brilliant or as RBC (round brilliant cut) because it is the most common brilliant-cut diamond, round diamonds are far and away the most popular diamond shape for engagement rings, accounting for more than 75 percent of all diamonds sold. Created by Marcel Tolkowsky in 1919, round diamonds have 58 facets, which cause light to bounce from the bottom of the diamond back through the top, giving it unbelievable sparkle. The shape is extremely versatile and timeless, looking clean and modern in simple settings, yet equally as nice in more elaborate styles. In a nutshell, a well-set round diamond will give you the most sparkle for your buck.

The franchise currently comprises eleven female protagonists from ten different Walt Disney Animation Studios films and one Pixar film who are either royal by birth, royal by marriage, or considered a \"\"princess\"\" due to their significant portrayal of heroism in their film. Most of the unofficial Disney Princesses do not join the line-up either because marketing is not successful, their film's box office gross did not fare well, or they are too young. In the case of Anna and Elsa, they ended up getting their own franchise because of how successful their movie was and didn't need to join the line-up. The original Disney Princess line-up featured Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Mulan. It later expanded to include Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida after the successes of their respective films.

Here are eight of our favorite diamond heirloom headpieces (and the stories behind them).by Ivy Jacobsonphoto by Getty Images Contrary to popular belief, royals don't wear tiaras on a regular basis (sad, we know). In fact, the rules are (in England, at least), the women of the royal family—by blood and by marriage— must wear a hat to formal events. However, if the event takes place in the evening, after 6 p.m., hats are replaced by gorgeous tiaras—but only if they're married. Since wearing a tiara signifies someone is a married woman, it's traditional for a royal bride to don a tiara on her wedding. That means there's a serious chance Meghan Markle will wear one when she walks down the aisle to marry Prince Harry in May, and we truly can't wait to see which makes the cut. We personally hope it's the Spencer Tiara, worn by Princess Diana when she married Prince Charles, since Markle's engagement ring already includes two side diamonds from Princess Di's jewelry collection. See eight of our absolute favorite diamond-encrusted diadems worn by princess brides from all over. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridgephoto by Getty Images Everyone knows Kate Middleton loves to re-wear her outfits, but it may come as a surprise to some that her wedding tiara was also recycled—in the most glamorous way possible, of course. Complete with 739 brilliant-cut diamonds and 149 baguette-cut diamonds, the headpiece was made in 1936 by Cartier for the Queen Mother from her husband, King George VI."

A new customer!” – Mickey Mouse Let’s be honest, there probably hasn’t been one person in the world that hasn’t heard of Disney. Good ol’ Walt knew what he was doing when he made Mickey Mouse whistle on a steam boat and squeak his first words. A voice that I love to impersonate. Who Doesn’t Know at Least One Disney Princess ? But I think what Walt probably never dreamed of is that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would be the beginning of the Disney Princess brand. It’s hard to imagine this now, but Snow White was the first full length animated feature to come out in movie theatres. A historical moment in film in 1937. Back then, animation shows were short and saw before a movie, not as a movie."

Hathaway, a lawyer, both originally from Philadelphia. She is of mostly Irish descent, along with English, German, and French. Her first major role came in the short-lived television series Get Real (1999). She gained widespread recognition for her roles in The Princess Diaries (2001) and its 2004 sequel as a young girl who discovers she is a member of royalty, opposite Julie Andrews and Heather Matarazzo. She also had a notable role in Nicholas Nickleby (2002) opposite Charlie Hunnam and Jamie Bell, and a starring role in Ella Enchanted (2004). A former top-ranking soprano in New York, Hathaway was reportedly a front-runner for the role of \"\"Christine\"\" in the 2004 The Phantom of the Opera (2004). However, due to scheduling conflicts with The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), she couldn't take the role, which was later given to newcomer Emmy Rossum. Hathaway soon started to move away from family-friendly films. Following The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), she appeared topless in the films Havoc (2005) opposite Josh Peck and Brokeback Mountain (2005) opposite Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Her desire to break out of her \"\"Princess Diaries\"\" image parallels that of her one-time co-star, Julie Andrews, who went topless in the film S. O. B. (1981) in order to break away from the image she created from her 1960s musicals."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Private bill or Private law. A private member's bill in a parliamentary system of government is a bill (proposed law) introduced into a legislature by a legislator who is not acting on behalf of the executive branch. The designation \"\"private member's bill\"\" is used in most Westminster System jurisdictions, in which a \"\"private member\"\" is any member of parliament (MP) who is not a member of the cabinet (executive). Other labels may be used for the concept in other parliamentary systems; for example, the label member's bill is used in the Scottish Parliament [1] and in the Parliament of New Zealand. [ 2] In presidential systems with a separation of the executive from the legislature, the concept does not arise since the executive cannot initiate legislation, and bills are introduced by individual legislators (or sometimes by popular initiative ). In the Westminster System, most bills are \"\"government bills\"\" introduced by the executive, with private members' bills the exception; however, some time is set aside in the schedule for reading such bills. They may be introduced by non-ministerial MPs from government-supporting parties ( backbenchers ), by members of opposition parties ( frontbencher or backbencher), or by independents or crossbenchers. The United Kingdom parliament has a long history of enacting private members' bills. In contrast, the Oireachtas (parliament) of the Republic of Ireland rarely passes private members' bills, with the overwhelming number of bills being passed being introduced by members of the cabinet. [ 3]A private member's bill is not to be confused with a private bill, which is a bill that only affects an individual citizen or group."

The 92072 Code Q: The 92072 code is listed as covering the “initial fit only.” Can I be reimbursed for this code if the patient has been previously fit by another provider? A: There is a dispute about whether or not this “initial fitting” means once per lifetime or the first visit of each discrete prescribing episode. I believe it is the latter. Having worked on the 92072 Editorial Committee representing the AOA as a stakeholder, I am sure that we discussed this initial fitting to mean the same thing that we mean with the first fitting of a 9231x code. Q: What’s the best way to handle ongoing contact lens evaluation charges, since the 92072 is covered only once? Do we just charge the patient out-of-pocket? A: All follow-up visits are, essentially, evaluations of the underlying condition in the presence of the contact lens. As directed by the preamble to the 9231x codes and the sub-text of the 92072 code, these visits are billed as covered services to the patient’s insurance carrier using the CPT code and the appropriate ICD-9-DM code for the service provided."

Print this Section My goal for this website was to try to untangle and explain a system that has an enormous financial impact on everyone, but makes almost no sense to anyone. It’s a system with hidden costs, enormous mark ups to discourage direct payment and a labyrinth of billing and reimbursement schedules that almost guarantees that no person directly involved would likely understand it. So, why is our health care system such a mess? Five years ago, when I began my attempt to answer that question, the information I had was very limited. I had my own office finances and the bills and receipts my patients brought me, but not much more. Five years later I’ve broadened the scope of my research considerably to include overviews of the finances of nearly all of the various industries in health care. This research has provided answers to many of the questions I was asking then, but has also uncovered answers to questions I never would have imagined to ask when I began my research. My website contains an enormous amount of information now. It would take several days for most people to sift through it."

Time to make a birth plan, design the nursery and prepare for the sleepless nights - and if you are going to return to work at some point steel yourself for hefty childcare bills. Becoming a parent will change your life physically, emotionally and financially. One of the biggest costs for working families ends up being childcare, on average a full-time place costs £11,000 a year and if you live in London it ends up being £14,000. Fortunately, there are ways to trim the bill, we explain how. Cash machine: The average cost of raising a child is £10,000 a year The high cost of childcare in Britain leaves many parents facing the problem of needing to go back to work to earn money to keep their family afloat, but earning very little once essential childcare is taken into account. Nursery costs rose by 5 per cent last year, according to the Family and Childcare Trust report, faster than both inflation over the same period of 2.7 per cent and wages, which for many have remained stagnant. The £11,000 a year average cost of a nursery becomes even more expensive if you live in London or South East where you could face costs of on average £14,000. If you had two children in nursery in London full time you would need a spare £28,000, more than the average salary in the UK. Nurseries argue that they play an important part in early years education, not just a place to leave your kids."

The wisdom exercised by Chief Justice Marshall in Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833) should be followed here. In writing about the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states, Marshall clearly explains why such was not the case: Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the state governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the constitutions of the several states, by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments, in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language. It is inconceivable that if such a thing took place that such a significant doctrine as incorporation would be so veiled that it would take years before some Supreme Court judge discovered that there was such a thing. The Blaine Amendment We know from the opening line of the First Amendment (“Congress shall make no law”) that the Amendment applied only to the federal government. It is a fact of history that James Madison’s proposal in 1789 to extend to the states the freedom of speech and of the press was rejected by the Congress that gave us the Bill of Rights. When the Constitution refers to the states it clearly says so. For example, it says in Article I, sec."

That year, several city street improvement projects diverted streams, which caused soil to build up in front of Barron's wharf. By 1822, no ships could tie up at the wharf and John Barron was out of business. Barron went to a state court and sued the city of Baltimore for destroying his wharf business. According to the Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, Barron argued, private property could not be taken or reduced in value for public use without \"\"just compensation.\"\" The case finally ended up before the U. S. Supreme Court. Writing for the majority of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall dismissed Barron's lawsuit on the grounds that the Fifth Amendment, as well as all the amendments of the Bill of Rights, applied only to the national government and not to the states. [ Barron v. Baltimore, 7 Peters 243 (1833)]The Barron decision established the principle that the rights listed in the original Bill of Rights did not control state laws or actions. A state could abolish freedom of speech, establish a tax-supported church, or do away with jury trials in state courts without violating the Bill of Rights.

"text": "\"The Challenge of Health Care Fraud Consumer Alert: The Impact of Health Care Fraud on You!In 2011, $2.27 trillion was spent on health care and more than four billion health insurance claims were processed in the United States. It is an undisputed reality that some of these health insurance claims are fraudulent. Although they constitute only a small fraction, those fraudulent claims carry a very high price tag. The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) estimates that the financial losses due to health care fraud are in the tens of billions of dollars each year. Whether you have employer-sponsored health insurance or you purchase your own insurance policy, health care fraud inevitably translates into higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for consumers, as well as reduced benefits or coverage. For employers-private and government alike-health care fraud increases the cost of providing insurance benefits to employees and, in turn, increases the overall cost of doing business. For many Americans, the increased expense resulting from fraud could mean the difference between making health insurance a reality or not. However, financial losses caused by health care fraud are only part of the story. Health care fraud has a human face too. Individual victims of health care fraud are sadly easy to find."

Sometimes they bark at themselves or stand there with a puzzled look. Believe it or not, the ability to recognize oneself in the mirror is pretty advanced, and dogs have yet to demonstrate that they can do it. Some psychologists argue that it is a uniquely human ability, although at least one study has shown that teenage chimpanzees can recognize themselves in a mirror. When we’ve developed a sense of self-awareness, we’ve achieved a state of self-consciousness. Why “developed?” Aren’t we aware of ourselves at birth? Actually, it may take up to five or six months for an infant to develop anything even remotely resembling self-consciousness. The mirror technique is one of the tools that psychologists have used to test infants’ and toddlers’ levels of self-consciousness. The simplest form of this test involves just setting an infant down in front of a mirror and watching her response."

Considering what typical protein shakes promise – sleek muscles, weight loss and a quick, easy “healthy” meal replacement – it’s logical to see why, but is your protein shake safe? Unfortunately, the food industry is making an absolute killing (maybe literally) selling ones that are filled with highly processed denatured proteins, chemicals, preservatives and other additives. There’s one thing in common for all of them – they are all processed and deciding on whether or not they are actually real food comes into question. Now not all processed things we put in our body are technically bad for us – but understanding what exactly is in your protein shake is critical to deciding whether to consume it, select an alternative, or discontinue use all together. GET INFORMEDWe’ve discussed GMO’s here, Artificial Colors here, Natural Flavors here, Carrageenanhere, Antibiotics here, and Hormones here before so I won’t go into them again in detail specifically. Regardless, you should know consuming a protein drink with any of those ingredients is a risk to your health. NOT CERTIFIED ORGANICMost protein powders on the market are not certified organic, nor are they Non-GMO Project Verified.

June 13, 2017Although some 14-year-olds have tried -- or are thinking about trying -- protein shakes, there are some safety concerns for kids who take dietary supplements. A study published in “2012” in “Pediatrics” found that almost 35 percent of teenagers, with an average age of 14 years old, report using protein powders or shakes. Always talk with your child’s pediatrician before suggesting any type of dietary supplement -- including protein shakes. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Daily Protein Needs Most teens easily meet their daily protein intake, without using protein shakes, by eating a variety of protein-rich foods throughout the day. According to the Institute of Medicine, 14-year-old boys need 52 grams of protein daily and 14-year-old girls require 46 grams of protein each day. Consuming 3 cups of low-fat milk, 3 ounces of grilled chicken breast and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter provides 59 grams of protein, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. When It’s Okay If your teen is underweight, ask his doctor if taking a high-calorie, protein-rich nutrition shake between meals to help boost calorie intake is appropriate. Although underweight teens can increase calorie intake by simply eating nutrient-dense foods -- such as nuts, seeds, nut butters and dried fruits -- nutrition shakes often contain the proper balance of protein, carbs, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals and are convenient for teens on the go. Concerns Because protein shakes are marketed and sold as supplements, they are not tightly regulated by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Although the FDA is responsible for removing supplements from stores if they are found to be unsafe in the general population, these products do not require FDA approval before hitting store shelves, note Teens Health."

Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Lack of Fiber If you make a protein shake at home, you have the option of piling in lots of fresh produce to add some fiber. Many manufactured ready-to-drink protein shakes have very little fiber. When you don’t have much fiber in your diet, food tends to travel through your gut at a delayed pace. Your bowels wind up squeezing out too much moisture, making your stools dry, hard and difficult to pass. If protein shakes make up a big part of your diet, have some fresh fruit, a veggie-rich salad or nuts occasionally. The extra fiber should get things moving. Excessive Protein Intake It's possible to get too much protein in your diet if you drink a lot of protein shakes."

There have been many knock-down, drag-out fights over how much is enough and how much is too much. In the red corner: the RDAs who recommend 0.36-0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (0.8 g/kg to 1.2-1.8 g/kg) in daily protein intake!In the blue corner: the fitness experts who recommend 1-2g/lb (2.2 to 4.4 g/kg)!Ding! Ding!Now I’m going to be the one who leaps into the ring unexpectedly with the folding chair. Forget how much you’re eating. How much are you absorbing? What if you aren’t absorbing all – or even half – of the protein you’re eating? Whoa, now that’s a knockout idea!Eating versus absorbing You may be smugly thinking, “Helen, this isn’t news. Everybody know that most people have low stomach acid and can’t absorb all the protein from a steak.”"

"text": "How To Lose 20-30 Pounds In 5 Days: The Extreme Weight Cutting and Rehydration Secrets of UFC Fighters840 Comments Share this: Facebook Twitter Email Reddit Print Written by Tim Ferriss Topics: Physical Performance The following is a guest post by Nate Green, who works with Dr. John Berardi, nutritional advisor to athletes like UFC champion Georges St. Pierre (GSP). This is the first of two blog posts entailing extreme physical experiments. Absolutely no performance enhancing drugs of any kind were used. Part 1 — this post — details exactly how top fighters like Georges St. Pierre rapidly lose 20-30 pounds for “weigh-ins.” To refine the method, Nate performed this on himself, losing 20 pounds in 5 days. The unique part: Dr. Berardi and team measured key variables throughout the entire process, including the last “rehydration” phase. As Berardi put it:“We used GSP’s exact protocol with him [Nate]. The idea was that by doing this with a guy who didn’t actually have to compete the next day, we could measure all sorts of performance variables that you’d never get with an athlete about to fight. ”Part 2 — the next post — will share how Nate used intermittent fasting and strategically planned eating to gain 20 pounds in 28 days, emulating a fighter who wants (or needs) to move up a weight class in competition. Cautionary Note on Part 1Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters put it all out in the open for the world to see: they kick, punch, laugh, cry, and bleed in front of thousands of arena fans and millions more watching at home. But even if you’re a hardcore fan who knows all the stats, there’s something behind the scenes that you’ve probably never seen in full: world-class weight manipulation …Done right, it can significantly increase a fighter’s chances of winning."

Whether you're looking to shed unwanted pounds, get a quick energy jolt, build muscles, or fight the aging process, protein drinks are being boosted by some supplement makers as a scientifically proven way to quickly achieve your goals. The products, sold as ready-to-drink liquids or powders that you mix with milk, juice, or water to make shakes, attract not just athletes and body-builders but also baby boomers, pregnant women, and teenagers looking for a shortcut to a buff body. Some ads say that protein supplements, in flavors such as strawberry and vanilla cream, can be a nutritious and time-saving snack or meal replacement. Marketing for Energy First Pro Energy Whey Protein Isolate says the protein supplement is \"\"ideal\"\" for pregnant women and growing children, and also offers this promise for aging adults who use it: \"\"You will rarely if ever be sick and you will begin to look and feel years younger. \"\" In a testimonial for BSN Lean Dessert Protein Shake, \"\"fitness celebrity\"\" Jennifer Nicole Lee says, \"\"Being a busy mom with 12-hour workdays, I rely upon my Lean Dessert Protein to get adequate amounts of protein without wasting time on creating complex meals ....\"\"Another product, Muscle Milk, boasts on its website: \"\"Designed after one of nature's most balanced foods: human mother's milk ....\"\"But our investigation, including tests at an outside laboratory of 15 protein drinks, a review of government documents, and interviews with health and fitness experts and consumers, found most people already get enough protein, and there are far better and cheaper ways to add more if it's needed. Some protein drinks can even pose health risks, including exposure to potentially harmful heavy metals, if consumed frequently. All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body."

Normally we don't venture into the supplement realm, but recently we've been seeing Muscle Milk in supermarkets and in the hands of casual athletes, so we decided to take a look. The idea behind muscle milk is to emulate human milk without using any milk in the product. It is a mix of proteins from milk, vegetable oils, flavorings, vitamins, and minerals. If you are not a top athlete, there is nothing in muscle milk that your body can't get from alternative sources. If you are an athlete that needs a boost, consider the following: - Muscle milk is a heavily processed product. - It contains heavy metals in quantities [http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/july/food/protein-drinks/what-our-tests-found/index.htm] that are borderline unsafe. - It is artificially sweetened with the worst of the bunch - Acesulfame Potassium, a sweetener that has been linked to cancer.

The current list of known cancer genes includes 70 genes associated with germline mutations and 342 genes associated with somatic mutations. Generally speaking, however, mutations in two basic classes of genes—proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes —are what lead to cancer. In fact, a recent high-throughput study of proto-oncogene mutations in 1,000 different tumor samples representing 17 different types of cancer showed that mutations in a set of 14 proto-oncogenes are associated with a high propensity for cancer. ( See Figure 1 for a depiction of the association between these genes and certain forms of cancer.) Moreover, this study also revealed that the 14 proto-oncogenes in question are associated with diverse cellular functions (Thomas et al ., 2007). But what drives cancerous cells to grow and divide uncontrollably and escape cell death, and just how are proto-oncogenes involved in this process? Introduction to Proto-oncogenes Proto-oncogenes are a group of genes that cause normal cells to become cancerous when they are mutated (Adamson, 1987; Weinstein & Joe, 2006). Mutations in proto-oncogenes are typically dominant in nature, and the mutated version of a proto-oncogene is called an oncogene."

Flag How oncogenes are produced form proto-oncogenes? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Proto-oncogenes are genes whose products promote cell growth and division. They do this by encoding transcription factors that stimulate the expression of other genes, signal transduction molecules that stimulate cell division, or cell cycle regulators that move the ell through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogene products may be located in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, or nucleus, and their activities are controlled in various ways, including regulation at the transcpritional, translational, and protein-modification levels. When cells become quiescent and cease division, they repress the expression of most proto-oncogene products. In cancer cells, one or more proto-oncogenes are altered in such a way that tier activities cannot be controlled in a normal fashion. This is sometimes due to a mutation in the proto-oncogene resulting in a protein product that acts abnormally. In other cases, proto-oncogenes may encode normal protein products, but the genes are overexpressed or cannot be transcriptionally repressed at the correct time."

This protein plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERK signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. Mutations in this gene, most commonly the V600E mutation, are the most frequently identified cancer-causing mutations in melanoma, and have been identified in various other cancers as well, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, hairy cell leukemia and adenocarcinoma of lung. Mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiofaciocutaneous, Noonan, and Costello syndromes, which exhibit overlapping phenotypes. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on the X chromosome. [ provided by Ref Seq, Aug 2017]CIVi C summary for BRAF Gene BRAF mutations are found to be recurrent in many cancer types. Of these, the mutation of valine 600 to glutamic acid (V600E) is the most prevalent. V600E has been determined to be an activating mutation, and cells that harbor it, along with other V600 mutations are sensitive to the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib. It is also common to use MEK inhibition as a substitute for BRAF inhibitors, and the MEK inhibitor trametinib has seen some success in BRAF mutant melanomas. BRAF mutations have also been correlated with poor prognosis in many cancer types, although there is at least one study that questions this conclusion in papillary thyroid cancer."

"text": "What Are Oncogenes?written by: Matt Feltz•edited by: Emma Lloyd•updated: 6/27/2011Oncogenes are mutant forms of normal human genes which, if not regulated, can trigger a cell to grow and divide uncontrollably. The formation of tumors, and the cancer that results, usually require multiple mutations. Some will be oncogenes, which activate growth processes in the cell. Though the origins of most diseases had been relatively easy to determine using early 20th-century technology, the variable and vexing nature of cancer made it much more elusive. Well into the 1970s, it was believed that most cancers were triggered by viral infection. In fact, viruses are responsible for only a small portion of human cancers. Those tumor-causing viruses, however, had one very unusual quality: they contained mutated versions of normal human genes. This led researchers to discover that the roots of most cancers have been in our cells all along. Oncogenes are Mutant Forms of Normal Genes In nearly all of the trillions of cells that make up our bodies, the genes that could help tumors form, grow, and spread simply make proteins that help in normal cellular processes. In this normal state, they are called proto-oncogenes."

Contents [ hide ]1 Function2 Clinical significance3 Interactions4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External links Function [ edit]The MYCN gene is a member of the MYC family of transcription factors and encodes a protein with a basic helix-loop-helix ( b HLH) domain. This protein is located in the cell nucleus and must dimerize with another b HLH protein in order to bind DNA. [ 5] N-Myc is highly expressed in the fetal brain and is critical for normal brain development. [ 6]The MYCN gene has an antisense RNA, N-cym or MYCNOS, transcribed from the opposite strand which can be translated to form a protein product. [ 7] N-Myc and MYCNOS are co-regulated both in normal development and in tumor cells, so it is possible that the two proteins are functionally related. [ 8] It has been shown that NCYM antisense RNA encodes for a protein that has originated de novo and is specific to human and chimpanzee. This NCYM protein inhibits GSK3b and thus prevents MYCN degradation. Transgenic mice that harbor human MYCN/NCYM pair often show neuroblastomas with distant metastasis, which are atypical for normal mice."

A single amino acid substitution is responsible for an activating mutation. The transforming protein that results is implicated in various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenoma, ductal carcinoma of the pancreas and colorectal carcinoma. Alternative splicing leads to variants encoding two isoforms that differ in the C-terminal region. [ provided by Ref Seq, Jul 2008]CIVi C summary for KRAS Gene Mutations in the RAS family of proteins are frequently observed across cancer types. The amino acid positions that account for the overwhelming majority of these mutations are G12, G13 and Q61. The different protein isoforms, despite their raw similarity, also behave very differently when expressed in non-native tissue types, likely due to differences in the C-terminal hyper-variable regions. Mis-regulation of isoform expression has been shown to be a driving event in cancer, as well as missense mutations at the three hotspots previously mentioned. While highly recurrent in cancer, attempts to target these RAS mutants with inhibitors have not been successful, and has not yet become common practice in the clinic. The prognostic implications for KRAS mutations vary between cancer types, but have been shown to be associated with poor outcome in colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and others."

"text": "\"Carcinogenesis Definition Also called tumorigenesis, carcinogenesis is the molecular process by which cancer develops. Description The development of cancer is a complicated process in which a large number of factors interact to disrupt normal cell growth and division. Cancer can be caused by a number of internal factors such as heredity, immunology, and hormones as well as external factors such as chemicals, viruses, diet, and radiation. Although attention is often focused on environmental chemicals (such as asbestos and coal tar) as a cause of cancer, only 5% of cancers can be linked to chemical exposure. We now know that the chief causes of cancer are lifestyle factors such as diet, cigarette smoke, alcohol, and sun exposure. In fact, dietary factors are associated with 35% of all human cancers and cigarette smoke for another 30%. Whatever the cause of cancer, its development is a multi-stage process involving damage to the genetic material of cells (deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA). This damage occurs in genes regulating normal cell growth and division. Because several stages or several mutations are required for cancer to develop, there is usually a long latent period before cancer appears. Carcinogens Agents that cause cancer (carcinogens) can be classified as genotoxic or nongenotoxic (also referred to as epigenetic)."

The stages of the cell cycle are shown here: Not all cells proceed through the stages of the cell cycle at the same rate. Embryonic cells divide very rapidly, while mature cells might divide rarely, or in response to signals such as wounding, or not at all. This regulation required a number of control mechanisms. Transitions out of gap phases (G1, G2) are regulated by cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases (CDK). Cyclins are only present at certain times during the cell cycle. MPF (Maturation Promoting Factor) includes the CDK and cyclins that triggers progression through the cell cycle.image from Kimball's Biology Pages Growth factors can also stimulate cell division. Growth factors serve as signals that tell the cell to move through the cell cycle and in order to divide. What about blocking the cell cycle?

"text": "What are Proto-Oncogenes? Download PDF Copy By Sally Robertson There are trillions of living cells in the body that grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. This process is tightly regulated by the genes within a cell’s nucleus. These genes code for proteins that help regulate cell growth. These important genes are called proto-oncogenes. A change in the DNA sequence of the proto-oncogene gives rise to an oncogene, which produces a different protein and interferes with normal cell regulation. Proto-oncogenes have many functions in a cell but they often code for proteins that stimulate cell division, prevent cell differentiation or regulate programmed cell death (apoptosis). These are all essential processes required for normal growth, development and the maintenance of healthy organs and tissues. However, a mutated or defective version of a proto-oncogene (oncogene) increases the production of these proteins, thereby leading to unregulated cell division, a slower rate of cell differentiation and increased inhibition of cell death. Together, these features define cells that have become cancerous."

"text": "Quora User Answered Jul 8, 2013Overview The cell cycle is regulated by proteins that are outside the cell as well as inside. These proteins are either known as external regulators or internal regulators, based on their functions. The internal regulators are proteins in the cytoplasm and tell the cell when to divide. The external regulators are protein signals produced by the cell that induce other cells to start dividing. When cells sense that they do not need to divide anymore, they cease producing this growth factor and stop cell division. If mutations in the genes that provide these growth factors are found, they could possibly either make growth factors continuously again (cancer) or produce the wrong kind of growth factor (no growth)Tumor Suppressor Genes Tumor Suppressor Genes are the “brakes” of the cell cycle. The cell's DNA contains the information to produce the proteins that stop in order to check the condition of the cell at these “checkpoints” of the cell cycle. Mutations in the DNA may cause these cells to lose their checkpoints. For example, some genes stop the cell from moving to the next checkpoint if damage to the DNA exists. When mutated, the cells will either lose their prescribed checkpoint or proceed through the cell cycle in an uncontrolled manner."

Share Email Print Feedback Background Piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development characterized by a congenital white forelock and multiple symmetrical hypopigmented or depigmented macules. This striking phenotype of depigmented patches of skin and hair has been observed throughout history, with the first descriptions dating to early Egyptian, Greek, and Roman writings. Generation after generation demonstrated a distinctive predictable familial mark—a white forelock. Families have sometimes been known for this mark of distinction, carrying such surnames as Whitlock, Horlick, and Blaylock. Note the image below. Distinguished physician with mark of distinction, a white forelock that his father and grandfather also shared. The word piebald itself has been attributed to a combination of the \"\"pie\"\" in the magpie (a bird of black and white plumage) and the \"\"bald\"\" of the bald eagle (the United States' national bird, which has a white feathered head). Piebaldism is due to an absence of melanocytes in affected skin and hair follicles as a result of mutations of the KIT proto-oncogene. [ 1] As of a 2001 review by Richards et al, 14 point mutations, 9 deletions, 2 nucleotide splice mutations, and 3 insertions of the KIT gene were believed to be mutations causing piebaldism. [ 2] The severity of phenotypic expression in piebaldism correlates with the site of the mutation within the KIT gene."

"text": "\"Tumor suppressor gene From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A tumor suppressor gene, or antioncogene, is a gene that protects a cell from one step on the path to cancer. When this gene mutates to cause a loss or reduction in its function, the cell can progress to cancer, usually in combination with other genetic changes. The loss of these genes may be even more important than proto-oncogene/ oncogene activation for the formation of many kinds of human cancer cells. [ 1] Tumor suppressor genes can be grouped into categories including caretaker genes, gatekeeper genes, and landscaper genes; the classification schemes are evolving as medicine advances, learning from fields including molecular biology, genetics, and epigenetics. Contents [ hide ]1 Two-hit hypothesis2 Functions3 Examples4 See also5 References6 External links Two-hit hypothesis [ edit]Models of tumour suppression Unlike oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes generally follow the \"\" two-hit hypothesis ,\"\" which implies that both alleles that code for a particular protein must be affected before an effect is manifested. This is because if only one allele for the gene is damaged, the second can still produce the correct protein. In other words, mutant tumor suppressors' alleles are usually recessive whereas mutant oncogene alleles are typically dominant. The two-hit hypothesis was first proposed by A. G. Knudson for cases of retinoblastoma. [ 2] Knudson observed that the age of onset of retinoblastoma followed 2nd order kinetics, implying that two independent genetic events were necessary. He recognized that this was consistent with a recessive mutation involving a single gene, but requiring biallelic mutation."

Neoplasia is the word given to the process by which tumours form in animals. These neoplastic growths may be described crudely as benign or malignant depending on their likelihood to invade other structures and spread throughout the body. In this dissertation more time will be spent on malignant cancers, as they are both more common in the lungs, and more clinically important. There are several types of cancers affecting the lungs, they each have different aetiology (though smoking is a recurring factor in most), pathology, characteristic histological features, treatment regimes and prognosis. Understanding the processes by which these cancers develop and cause harm we can work to reduce the incidence of lung cancers and improve the prognosis of sufferers. Here I look at the major cancers, and those with the greatest clinical impact. Cancers of the lung mainly affect the bronchi and hence bronchial carcinoma is synonymous with carcinoma of the lung, however peripheral adenocarcinomas are increasing in incidence. Cancers of the lung generally share some common characteristics, these are discussed below and any deviations from this will be noted later under each type. Carcinomas commonly affect the upper lobes more frequently than lower and the right lung more than the left."

This type of nurse may provide treatment to individuals, families, and communities to help diagnose and treat certain conditions or concerns. Psychiatric nurse practitioners offer primary care services. Job Tasks of a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner A psychiatric nurse practitioner must often know how to use different pieces of medical equipment, including surgical lasers, defibrillators, and EKG machines. They often have to do a great deal of computer work, including data entry and using medical software to record information regarding patients. When working with patients, a psychiatric nurse practitioner’s responsibilities include collaborating with doctors and psychiatrists, educating patients, and providing counseling to patients. Although psychiatric nurse practitioners may often work closely with doctors, they do not require supervision and are able to work independently. Education Those successful in finding employment as psychiatric nurse practitioners normally need to have a Master’s degree. Often, a doctoral degree is needed to find a position working in an advanced position in psychiatric/mental health nursing."

Need for these specialists is growing since they can work in many of the same ways that psychiatrists work, and yet they are typically less expensive to employ. This downgrade in pay shouldn’t convince anyone that the work nurse practitioners do is less expert than that of psychiatrists. They tend to be very skilled and their masters or doctoral work has focused on diagnosing and treating mental illnesses, with lots of clinical practice. Nurse practitioners typically begin as registered nurses, though it is possible to find some bachelors to nurse practitioner MS degree programs. These are not that common however. It is usually presumed that the practitioner first has been trained as a registered nurse. Licensing for these practitioners, due to the fact they can often prescribe medications, may be different from state to state and in varied countries. Ad There are many things that a psychiatric nurse practitioner can do, and many areas in which he or she can work.

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A mental health professional is a health care practitioner or community services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders. This broad category was developed as a name for community personnel who worked in the new community mental health agencies begun in the 1970s to assist individuals moving from state hospitals, to prevent admissions, and to provide support in homes, jobs, education and community. These individuals (i.e., state office personnel, private sector personnel, and non-profit, now voluntary sector personnel) were the forefront brigade to develop the community programs, which today may be referred to by names such as supported housing, psychiatric rehabilitation, supported or transitional employment, sheltered workshops, supported education, daily living skills, affirmative industries, dual diagnosis treatment, individual and family psychoeducation, adult day care, foster care, family services and mental health counseling. The category seldom includes psychiatrists ( DO or MD) who remained institutional based and guarded the admissions procedures at institutionalization (both private and state specialty hospitals). However, in 2013, psychiatrists also are working in clinical fields with psychologists including in sociobehavioral, neurological, person-centered and clinical approaches (often office-based), and studies of the \"\"brain disease\"\" (which came from the community fields and community management and are taught at the MA to Ph D level in education). For example, Nat Raskin (at Northwestern University Medical School) who worked with the illustrious Carl Rogers, published on person-centered approaches and therapy in 2004. [ 1] The term counselors often refers to office-based professionals who offer therapy sessions to their clients, operated by organizations such as pastoral counseling (which may or may not work with long term services clients) and family counselors. Mental health counselors may refer to counselors working in residential services in the field of mental health in community programs."

Featured Schools If you are interested in a career within this lucrative field, the door is wide open. One position which is particularly appealing is that of a psychiatric nurse practitioner. This is a senior nursing position which specializes in clinical practice for individuals experiencing psychological trouble of any kind. This is an extremely convenient career path for students who are enrolled in nursing programs to take. This is because the training and curriculum involved is as rigorous and comprehensive as that taken by professional psychiatrists. Not only do you learn how to diagnose various mental conditions, you are also trained in developing therapies to exact maximum recovery. Due to the senior nature of the post, you possess the same authority as a psychiatrist, capable of prescribing medication and provide emergency care for individuals as well."

If you do not hold an active RN license in Ohio, you can obtain one by completing one of the following steps: If you are a graduate of a Board-approved registered nursing program, you may apply using the Licensure by Examination Application packet. If you are a graduate of an out-of-state, Board-approved registered nursing program, you may apply using the Licensure by Examination Application packet. You must also submit a Transcript Authorization Form. If you are an RN licensed in another state or jurisdiction, you may apply using the Licensure by Endorsement Application packet. Step 1. Get Your Graduate Degree To work toward your APN certificate of authority in Ohio, you must successfully complete a graduate degree with a major in a nursing specialty or in a related field that qualifies you to sit for a certification examination from a national certifying body. You can review institutional, programmatic, and specialized accrediting agencies listed in the United States Department of Education (USDE) database of recognized accrediting bodies to confirm that your master’s, post-baccalaureate certificate, or doctorate program meets accreditation standards. Since national certification through a Board-recognized certifying body is a condition for APRN licensure, you may inquire with your certifying body of choice to verify that your advanced practice nursing program of interest meets accreditation standards (see Step 2 for information on Board-recognized certifying bodies). Course Requirements The Ohio Board of Nursing maintains education requirements in line with the national APRN Consensus Model."

"text": "5 of the Highest Paying Nursing Specialties Sarah White Nursing can be a lucrative job, but narrowing down your focus to a specialty can help you focus your career on your personal interests and passions within nursing. Maybe there is something you like doing more than anything else during your shift, like prepping patients for surgery or working with children. Honing in on these interests can help you determine a specialty that could bring you a more rewarding career. Specializing in certain areas of nursing can also help you bring in a higher yearly salary. Here are five of the nursing specialties that might get you a better salary. Family Nurse Practitioner To become a family nurse practitioner, you will need to first become an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, which generally requires a master’s degree. However, some colleges are looking for doctoral degrees as well, so it’s important to do your research early on to determine how many years of school you will need. Next, you will need to obtain a specialty certification in family practice. Once you’ve obtained the right level of education, you will also need to be licensed according to your state by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. As an FNP, you will work in physician’s offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and urgent care facilities to care for patients under a supervising physician."

"text": "10 Different Types of Nursing Fields That Pay Well December 22, 2014 by CCU CAGSNurses find joy in helping others; it’s why they do what they do. But not all nursing specialties are created equal, so finding the right field or specialization among the different types of nursing fields can make a big difference in your income potential. To help you get ideas for your career, here are the top ten highest-paying nursing specialties and fields: Nurse Anesthetist In this specialty, you can expect to administer anesthesia in a variety of possible settings including inpatient, outpatient, and emergency facilities. In this competitive specialization one of the best ways to set yourself apart is to become trained as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). The typical annual salary for nurse anesthetists ranges from $90,000 to $135,000. Nurse Researcher A great specialty if you like to write, nurse researchers work in universities, medical labs, non-profits, and other healthcare-centric industries. This field is perfect for nurses who love pursuing knowledge, so additional education is a must! Nurses in the research field can expect an annual salary ranging from $75,000 to $95,000. Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Also referred to as psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses specializing in mental health work with patients suffering psychiatric disorders. Nurses in the mental health field often partner with families and other practitioners to provide the best care, education, and support possible."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from List of nursing credentials)navigation search Nursing credentials and certifications are the various credentials and certifications that a person must have to practice nursing legally. Nurses' postnominal letters (abbreviations listed after the name) reflect their credentials—that is, their achievements in nursing education, licensure, certification, and fellowship. The letters usually appear in the following order: Highest earned academic degree in or related to nursing (e.g. \"\" [ [Doctor of Nursing Practice |DNP] or Ph. D.]\"\")Nursing licensure (e.g. \"\" RN \"\")Nursing certification (e.g. \"\" CCRN \"\")Nursing fellowship (e.g. \"\" FAAN \"\")Generally credentials are listed from most to least permanent. A degree, once earned, cannot, in normal circumstances, be taken away. State licensure is only revoked for serious professional misconduct. Certifications generally must be periodically renewed by examination or the completion of a prescribed number of continuing education units (CEUs). This is often called maintenance of certification (MOC). Nurses may also hold non-nursing credentials including academic degrees. These are usually omitted unless they are related to the nurse's job."

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. But it also creates another set of problems. If you tried to memorize every single possible thing you can for your ANCC exam, the field of possible things to review would be so huge that you could not hope to cover everything in a reasonable time."

"text": "A psychometrist specializes in administering psychological tests and scoring them, often as an assistant to a psychologist or psychiatrist. His or her focus is on the accurate administration of such tests and accurate scoring to help ensure a proper diagnosis of a patient's condition. Though some may be licensed to do so, psychometrists typically do not interpret test scores but leave that up to the person for whom they work. Aside from working for a psychologist or psychiatrist, a psychometrist may work for a private company, a school or university, or for the government. He or she also may work with children or adults. Psychometrists measure what makes a person act the way he does. They measure a person's personality traits, attitudes, abilities, knowledge and education. Various kinds of tests are used for measurements, including psychological tests, personality assessments and questionnaires. The test results likely depend on why the tests were done and for what reason. Results may be used by psychologists, psychiatrists, human resources managers, school staff or medical staff."

Neurocognitive testing, also known as neuropsychological testing, is a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's cognitive status by specific neurologic domains, i.e., memory, attention, problem solving, language, visuospatial, processing speed motor, and emotion. Testing is mainly comprised of paper and pencil tasks and/or computerized tasks, done in a one-on-one setting. It is physically non-invasive. Assessing brain function As the brain controls specific neurologic domains, cognitive skills are often affected by many different types of brain-related health conditions. Accordingly, it is important for physicians and other health care providers to carefully assess the patient's relationship among brain, thought, behavior and mood. Neurocognitive/neuropsychological testing helps to clarify this picture, especially in the context of one's daily living or development. Preparing for an Exam Cognitive Impairment About Concussion When is referral from your doctor appropriate? Referrals are typically made to diagnose or rule out diseases of the brain.

"text": "Article by: Perry Romanowski I saw this article in the Guardian about the delay the EU faces in their ban of animal testing of cosmetic products. For someone new in the cosmetic industry, the role of animal testing may be confusing. There are many brands out there that claim to be ‘cruelty free’ and that ‘don’t test on animals.’ It might make an aspiring cosmetic chemist wonder, why do some companies continue to test on animals? What kind of animal testing is done? If one company could stop testing on animals, why don’t they all? Good questions. But before we answer, let’s go over what animal testing has been used in the cosmetic industry. Cosmetic animal testing There are a number of animal tests that can be done on cosmetic formulas and ingredients. The primary tests include the following.1."

This table explains the role of some of the professionals who provide services. Recall that many of these professionals can suspect LD and/or ADHD but all are not licensed, or have the needed certifications to diagnose the disorders. It is always important to ask the professional about his/her credentials. When you go to a person in a private practice, not in the school system, it is important to determine if the professional has the needed license to be in private practice and to make the diagnosis of LD and/or ADHD.

"text": "How to Become a Cognitive Psychologist Overview The brain is the most important part of the human body. It is the control center – the area that stores and processes all the information that we gather during our lifetimes and tells us how to feel about that information. Cognitive psychologists study how the brain works – including memory, perception and learning. The brain is so complicated and often multi-tasks. For example, it allows humans to process new learning while recalling and retrieving old bits of information and associating it with smells and colors. Cognitive psychologists not only research this, but also treat patients that have trouble with cognitive functions such as memory and perception. A healthy interest in how the brain functions is a great way to start down the path towards a career in cognitive psychology. The cognitive psychology field is perfect for someone who has always wondered how memory works – or why it doesn’t in certain cases. Or for a student that has struggled with learning issues, and would like to research and improve the ways the learning disabilities are handled. Education How does one go from brain enthusiast to cognitive psychologist?"

D. in psychology and 20+ years in this field and in behavioral economics Answered Oct 3, 2012Psychometry an d psychometrics are entirely different things. The main element they share is their common linguistic origin, in ancient Greek. Per Wikipedia: Psychometry (from Greek: ψυχή, psukhē, \"\"spirit, soul\"\"; + μέτρον, metron,\"\"measure\"\"), also known as token-object reading, or psychoscopy, is a form of extra-sensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object. Supporters assert that an object may have an energy field that transfers knowledge regarding that object's history. Psychometry is commonly offered at psychic fairs as a type of psychic reading. At New Age events psychometry has claimed to help visitors \"\"meet the dearly departed\"\" (a form of spiritualism). Psychometrics, however, is a modern, empirically based form of research, which is designed to understand and assess various aspects of human cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. Again, per Wikipedia: Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, personality traits, and educational measurement. The field is primarily concerned with the construction and validation of measurement instruments such as questionnaires, tests, and personality assessments."

I also found out that a person born with a Veil over there face is also called a Caulbearer. And then it also said: Caulbearers are often found to have psychic abilities in matters of finding underground water supplies, knowing when weather patterns will change, predicting when fish and other food supplies will become plentiful. Many are great natural healers, which trait may be manifested by the laying on of their hands, or remotely from a distance.

"text": "\"Buy this issue Share |March 1999 | Volume 56 | Number 6Using Standards and Assessments Pages 8-15Issue Table of Contents | Read Article Abstract Why Standardized Tests Don't Measure Educational Quality W. James Popham Educators are experiencing almost relentless pressure to show their effectiveness. Unfortunately, the chief indicator by which most communities judge a school staff's success is student performance on standardized achievement tests. These days, if a school's standardized test scores are high, people think the school's staff is effective. If a school's standardized test scores are low, they see the school's staff as ineffective. In either case, because educational quality is being measured by the wrong yardstick, those evaluations are apt to be in error. One of the chief reasons that students' standardized test scores continue to be the most important factor in evaluating a school is deceptively simple. Most educators do not really understand why a standardized test provides a misleading estimate of a school staff's effectiveness. They should. What's in a Name? A standardized test is any examination that's administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner."

However, Atlantic puffins are actually not related to penguins at all. They are in fact small seabirds (about 25 cm, or 10 in., long) that belong to the Alcidae (auk) family. For most of the year, Atlantic puffins live on the open ocean, with a range spanning from the eastern coast of Canada and the northern United States to the western coast of Europe and northern Russia. 60% of the world’s puffins live near Iceland.

"text": "10 Weird Food Delicacies From Around the World By IBT Staff Reporter On 09/21/09 AT 4:07 PMTravelling is often about trying the unusual and attempting to experience the different culture of the country you are visiting. One of the best ways to do this is to try the foods the native people eat. They may not be to everyone's tastes, but the following foods, whilst considered weird and bizarre to some of us, are considered delicious delicacies in other countries. Although eating these foods might seem like a form of 'extreme dining' to us, they are in fact quite normal to the people who eat them.1 - Birds Nest Soup, China You wouldn't necessarily think a birds nest would be edible, but the Chinese use Swifts' nests to make this soup, known as the 'Caviar of the East'. Right now you're probably imagining a nest made out of twigs and leaves, but Swiftlets make their nests predominantly out of saliva. It's something in the saliva of the bird that makes it have this unique gelatinous, rubbery texture and it's one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. It's expensive because the swiftlets build the nests during breeding season over a period of 35 days and nests can only be harvested around three times a year. The nests are typically built in coastal caves and collecting them is a treacherous process involving climbing and nimble skill, which adds to the hefty price tag. With an increase in demand for birds nest soup however, manmade nesting sites are often constructed. Hong Kong and the US are the largest importers of birds' nests and a bowl of soup can cost around $30 to $100 per bowl, whilst a kilo of nest can cost between $2,000 and $10,000."

Prices will go down for tourists but the weather is still agreeable. The days have gradually become darker and darker meaning the magical Northern Lights are visible again. Temperature In September the daily average temperature sits around 7°C. The lowest temperature expected is 5°C and the highest is 9°C. Not exactly tanning weather but particularly warm for Iceland. Rainfall September expects around 40mm of rainfall and 23 days of rainfall. Sunshine Hours There is on average 4 hours of sunshine per day in September, outside activities are still enjoyable. Sea Temperature In September the sea temperature is on average 10°C. However, there is no need to swim in the sea as the Blue Lagoon is 37-39°C, unless you want to of course."

If you think puffins are cute, do so as well! And if you’re dying to go to Iceland, this post really has everything you need because it will tell you about the best place to see puffins in Iceland. This is a guest post by my awesome dad, Hans. Yes, he very fittingly has the same name as Hans the puffin from the movie Madagascar. Since a long time I wanted to see and – if at all possible – photograph Icelandic puffins. Puffins are charming little birds, the clowns of the ocean. I had once been able to observe them from afar, aboard a boat touring around the “Sept Îles” on the coast of Bretagne, France, near Ploumanac’h. The island with puffins there, however, is a protected area and could not be accessed so we had to be satisfied with a view from quite a bit of distance. That was 6 or 7 years ago."

"text": "Puffins in Iceland By Jorunn Sjofn Gudlaugsdottir Send message Did you know that Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives at sea, but return to land to form breeding colonies during spring and summer? Iceland is one of those colonies because in spring time they come over here for nesting and Iceland is the breeding home for about 60 percent of the world's Atlantic puffins. Puffins can be seen in Iceland from early April until September each year. There are more than one puffin species but the one that breeds in Iceland is the so called Atlantic Puffin . What makes them special is the penguin like colour with a very colourful beak. The beak fades to gray during the winter but blooms into orange colour in the spring time. Pretty amazing and probably to attract potential mates. To find puffin tours in Iceland go here: Puffin & whale watching tours. Puffin movement Puffins are sea-birds and use the waves for resting when not swimming. They are excellent swimmers using their wings to stroke underwater."

In this lesson, we're going to learn about why birds are birds, how they fly, and why they're important to us both ecologically and economically. Introduction Did you know there are about 10,000 species of birds? Some are very tiny, such as the bee hummingbird at two inches tall, and some are very large, such as ostriches, which are nine feet tall. Birds live on all seven continents. The most diversity among birds occurs in tropical regions. Birds belong to a class called Aves, the class of vertebrates all birds belong to."

"text": "Best time to visit Iceland By Simon Willmore“If you don’t like the weather right now, just wait five minutes,” say locals in Iceland. The key principle to understanding Icelandic weather is ‘be prepared’, because the weather is wildly variable – not season by season or day by day, but hour by hour. So pack a waterproof and choose the type of holiday you want, be it a summer or winter trip – and decide what you want to see. Iceland’s two main tourist attractions occur on opposite sides of the calendar, so holidaymakers need to weigh up their desire to see the ever-elusive Northern Lights with the chance to go whale-watching and bask under the Midnight Sun. Because the Northern Lights are currently more popular, accommodation tends to be more expensive in winter, especially from November to February. “Iceland could almost be two different destinations, according to the season,” says Shane Hosiene, Iceland specialist at Regent Holidays. That is, depending on when you visit, you could either experience ‘The Land of the Midnight Sun’ – in summer, the country has up to 20 hours of sunlight a day – or ‘The Land of Basically No Sun’, because this figure drops to about five hours a day in winter. Climate Given the island’s latitude, the climate is relatively temperate but the lowlands in the south still remain at around 0°C in winter, while the highlands tend to average around -10°C. This is relatively mild for this degree of proximity to the Arctic Circle, and is due to the North Atlantic and Irminger Currents which help to moderate the island’s climate. Consider that the January average for Iqaluit, Canada, on the same latitude, is about -25°C."

They are generally noiseless birds, except when breeding. And no, that doesn’t mean I was listening in on them doing the dirty to make more cute puffins (and oh my, baby puffins are just so – *sigh*). When they are ready to breed they start making noises, i.e. throughout the summer. Winter must be a strange time for puffins: floating in the Atlantic Sea and saying nothing at all. I first heard this weird mechanical sound, like the whirring of a petrol-powered lawn mower, with the volume turned down real low. At the time, I was standing beside the Puffin Cam, so I thought it was just that. But then I moved about 10 metres away from the Puffin Cam and heard the sound again. It seemed to be coming from the ground. Listening harder, I realised, Mr Puffins hums like a lawn mower that just won’t start."

It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin, are found in the northeastern Pacific. The Atlantic puffin breeds in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and many North Atlantic islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and the west coast of Ireland and parts of the United Kingdom in the east. Although it has a large population and a wide range, the species has declined rapidly, at least in parts of its range, resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN. On land, it has the typical upright stance of an auk. At sea, it swims on the surface and feeds mainly on small fish, which it catches by diving underwater, using its wings for propulsion. This puffin has a black crown and back, pale grey cheek patches and white underparts. Its broad, boldly marked red and black beak and orange legs contrast with its plumage. It moults while at sea in the winter and some of the bright-coloured facial characteristics are lost, with color returning again during the spring. The external appearance of the adult male and female are identical though the male is usually slightly larger."

"text": "Traveling is often about trying the unusual and attempting to experience a different culture in the country you’re visiting. One of the best ways to do this is to try the foods locals eat. They may not be to everyone’s tastes, but the following foods, considered weird and bizarre, or even dangerous to outsiders, are considered delicacies in their countries. Although eating these foods might seem like a form of ‘extreme dining’ to us, they’re tasty everyday or special occasion fare for the people who eat them.1 – Birds Nest Soup, China You wouldn’t necessarily think a birds nest would be edible, but the Chinese use Swifts’ nests to make this soup, known as the ‘Caviar of the East’. Right now you’re probably imagining a nest made out of twigs and leaves, but Swiftlets make their nests predominantly out of saliva.“… you’re probably imagining a nest made out of twigs and leaves, but Swiftlets make their nests predominantly out of saliva. ”It’s something in the saliva of the bird that makes it have this unique gelatinous, rubbery texture and it’s one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. It’s expensive because the swiftlets build the nests during breeding season over a period of 35 days and nests can only be harvested around three times a year. The nests are typically built in coastal caves and collecting them is a treacherous process involving nimble climbing skills, which adds to the hefty price tag. With an increase in demand for birds nest soup, manmade nesting sites have become common."

The remote Bass Rock, off the east coast of Scotland, will soon be home to 150,000 of the birds as breeding season gets underway. But at its peak the Firth of Forth, where the island lies, is home to an incredible 500,000 seabirds i ncluding puffins, kittiwakes, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, shags and terns. The first of this year's gannet chick has just been spotted on the island which almost appears to have turned white such is the volume of nesting birds. The area is of international importance for seabirds and is crucial for gannets which usually return to the same mate and nest each year. Gannets are Britain's largest seabird, with a wing span of more than 6ft, and can live for more than 30 years. They have such good eyesight that they can spot schools of fish below the surface of the water and dive at speeds of up to 62mph.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A wrist mounted remote sensor pulse oximeter with plethysmograph. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for monitoring a person's oxygen saturation (S O 2 ). Though its reading of Sp O 2 (peripheral oxygen saturation) is not always identical to the more desirable reading of Sa O 2 (arterial oxygen saturation) from arterial blood gas analysis, the two are correlated well enough that the safe, convenient, noninvasive, inexpensive pulse oximetry method is valuable for measuring oxygen saturation in clinical use. In its most common (transmissive) application mode, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. The device passes two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector. It measures the changing absorbance at each of the wavelengths, allowing it to determine the absorbances due to the pulsing arterial blood alone, excluding venous blood, skin, bone, muscle, fat, and (in most cases) nail polish.

The oxygen then passes into the blood where the majority of the oxygen attaches to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein located inside our red blood cells that transports the oxygen through the bloodstream to the rest of our body and tissues. In this way, our body is given the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. [ 2]2 Understand the reasons for the procedure. Pulse oximetry is used to assess oxygen saturation in the blood for a variety of reasons. It is often used in surgeries and other procedures that involve sedation (such as a bronchoscopy) and to make any adjustments of supplemental oxygen. A pulse oximeter may also be used to assess whether an adjustment of supplemental oxygen is needed, whether lung medications are working effectively, and to determine patient tolerance to increased activity levels. [ 3]Your physician may also recommend pulse oximetry if you use a ventilator to support breathing, suffer from sleep apnea or have a serious medical condition, such as heart attack, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anemia, lung cancer, asthma, or pneumonia.

"text": "\"Directory: Home | Knowledge Base | Pulse Oximeters |How to Interpret Pulse Oximeter Readings Sp O2 normal values Here are some general guidelines to understanding oximeter readings and Sp O2 values. A normal healthy person should be able to achieve normal blood oxygen saturation levels (Sp O2) of 94% to 99%. For patients with mild respiratory diseases, the Sp O2 should be 90% or above. Supplementary oxygen should be used if Sp O2 level falls below 90%, which is unacceptable for a prolonged period of time. The blood oxygen level and the pulse rate are, to a degree, affiliated with each other but there is no strict direct correlation between the two. For example, a baby, a teenager a young adult and an elderly person in good health should all have a blood oxygen level of 94 or higher but the pulse in a baby can be 115 beats per minute while the other three people can average between 60 to 72 beats per minute. When you consider other variables like diet, and exercise regiment the changes in pulse can be even more dramatic. A good example of such dramatic variations is marathon runners. Marathon runners can bring their pulse to as low as 35 bpm while maintaining a blood oxygen level of 97% or higher. This is due to the great conditioning of their bodies which makes the blood circulation so efficient that their hearts work very little to circulate the same amount of blood compared to non runners Your Blood Oxygen Normal Values are dependent on your health condition, respiratory rate, percentage of oxygen in the air, activities you are performing, and other factors."

It is a result that reflects not only how well a patient's lungs are working but also how effectively oxygen is being delivered to all parts of the body.

Monitoring the percent of red blood cells saturated with oxygen tells a physician how well a child is breathing, how efficiently the oxygen is being distributed to the body and how well oxygen is unloaded from red blood cells at its destination. A disruption in any of these processes will decrease the child's oxygen saturation and can necessitate therapeutic intervention. Function Oxygen saturation sensing in a healthy child breathing room air will reveal a saturation rate between 96 and 98 percent. This is the normal range for a healthy adult as well.

KEY WORDS: pulse oximetry, arterial oxygen saturation (Sp O 2 or Sa O 2 ), arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, partial oxygen pressure (Pa O 2 ), partial carbon dioxide pressure (Pa CO 2 ), capnography, oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve Pulse oximetry is a useful tool for assessing oxygen saturation, but it doesn't provide a complete picture of your patient's respiratory status. Understanding what pulse oximetry can and can't do will help you to use this technology wisely. Jump to: Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method of monitoring a patient's pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation. A pulse oximeter uses a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector to estimate the percentage of total hemoglobin that's saturated (filled) with oxygen molecules, based on the amounts of red and infrared light that pass through the vascular bed. Arterial oxygen saturation is represented by the symbol Sp O 2 when measured by pulse oximetry or Sa O 2 when measured by arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. For a healthy patient, an Sp O 2 of 97% – 99% is generally considered normal. 1Pulse oximetry is now a part of routine perioperative monitoring, and is widely used to monitor patients in many different settings, including the ED, OR, ICU, PACU, and med/surg units. 2 However, because it doesn't provide any information about a patient's ventilation, relying on pulse oximetry alone could compromise patient safety, particularly in patients who are receiving supplemental oxygen or who are at risk of respiratory depression. 2Yet, a recent study found that only 35% of nurses (and 39% of physicians) in a major medical center knew that pulse oximetry monitored oxygen saturation only and did not reflect changes in ventilation."

What I love about pulse squats is you can get the most amazing lower body burn and target all those large muscle groups ( glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves and even core) by just using your bodyweight and a different pulse count. How It’s Done All you have to do is start with your feet hip-width apart and arms stretched out in front of you. Perform a squat as you normally would, dropping down towards the ground with your butt pushed back and knees never over your toes. Pretend like you are sitting in an imaginary chair. Rather than coming back to the starting position right away, hold that seated squat position at the bottom as you pulse a few inches up and down for the entire exercise. You can do as many pulses as you can, then rise up for a mini break and return down for more pulses."

"text": "If there’s any exercise that could be considered the bread and butter of many a fitness routine, it’s the bodyweight lunge. Basic (in the best way), the lunge is known for helping runners avoid injury when used as a warm-up, strengthening the hammies and quads, improving lower limb function, and even improving running speed. The best part? Because there are many variations, it’s nearly impossible to get bored with them. So say buh-bye to that fitness plateau and get started with this round-up of lunges!Bodyweight Lunge Bodyweight lunge This basic movement is the building block for the rest of the exercises on this list—and many workout routines in general. Master it to work your way up to more challenging movements. To start, stand with your feet together, shoulders back, and core tight. Lift your right leg off the ground and take a big step forward. Lower your body toward the ground until your right upper thigh is parallel to the floor and your right knee forms about a 90-degree angle. Straighten up by pushing through your right heel to return to stand."

This murmur can radiate to the axilla in severe pulmonary hypertension. Maneuvers that change the quality of the murmur include an increase in intensity with inspiration (Carvallo sign), an increase in intensity with increased venous return, and an increase in intensity with pushing on the liver (Vitmus sign). Primary causes of tricuspid insufficiency include endocarditis or rheumatic disease. A secondary cause is right ventricular dilation."

You may laugh, but I am actually squatting on my chair while writing this. Now to the point. I will write from my point of view, and I don't know if it applies to the other people (Slavic people). First thing first: squatting simply feels comfortable for me. I lay my feet flat on the ground, my knees bent, and I rest my whole upper body on my knees and hamstrings. Sometimes I also squat on balls of my feet, putting few of my fingers on the ground for aditional stability. Sadly, most present day teenage and adult Slavs grew up in impoverished post-socialist countries."

Plus, beyond being relatively low stress and high reward, the average salary for personal trainers is on the rise, and wearing workout clothes every day is simply following the dress code—not too shabby. With so many obvious incentives, it's easy to overlook a few other key elements of a fitness career. So if you've already checked the \"\"must love fitness\"\" box, read on for eight more things that most all-star trainers get fired up about on a daily basis. ( And hey, if you already can't think of anything more exciting than explaining the most efficient path for a barbell to take during deadlifts, maybe it's time to review these tips for getting started from ACE.)1. Technique in all its glorious minutiae Basic fitness movements like running, deadlifts, and bodyweight squats look (and often feel) deceptively simple. But to properly perform even the most basic movements requires knowledge about and experience with form and body mechanics, weightlifting technique, and even physics as they relate to exercise. Heck, if something as specific as the degree to which your knee flexes during a squat can change the entire exercise, imagine how much a good trainer would have to know in order to coach these movements properly (and even more so with highly technical movements like kettlebell swings or handstands). If you like the idea of helping people master technique, make small adjustments to form, or drill a movement repeatedly, personal training could be your calling. Just be sure to think about just how excited you are to spend time coaching a runner’s head tilt, shoulder position, and stride length.false2."

Our simple chart will help keep you in the target training zone, whether you want to lose weight or just maximize your workout. Find out what normal resting and maximum heart rates are for your age and how exercise intensity and other factors affect heart rate. How do you get your heart rate in the target zone? When you work out, are you doing too much or not enough? There’s a simple way to know: Your target heart rate helps you hit the bullseye so you can get max benefit from every step, swing and squat. Even if you’re not a gym rat or elite athlete, knowing your heart rate (or pulse) can help you track your health and fitness level. First Things First: Resting Heart Rate Your resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you’re at rest. A good time to check it is in the morning after you’ve had a good night’s sleep, before you get out of bed or grab that first cup of java!For most of us, between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm) is normal. 1 The rate can be affected by factors like stress, anxiety, hormones, medication, and how physically active you are."

Expensive skin creams that promise to make your wrinkles disappear, cosmetic surgery, laser ablation and botox are but superficial solutions. They cannot come close to the benefits attained from a regular heart-pumping, well-planned exercise routine. There are two aspects to ageing. Your chronological age, which is calculated form the day you were born and the number of years you have lived, and your biological or “real” age, which refers to the current condition of your physiological body at the basic cellular level.

This is especially important if you haven’t been active, if you have any health problems, if you’re pregnant, or if you’re an older adult. Ask your doctor about how much exercise is right for you. A good goal for many people is to work up to exercising 5 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. If 30 to 60 minutes at a time sounds difficult to fit into a busy schedule, you can split up your physical activity into smaller chunks of time. Try exercising for 10 minutes at a time throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Or go for a walk during your lunch break.

Since then, I’ve had a few career changes and over time have let my certifications expire. While I’ve continued to keep my finger on the pulse of the fitness community including being involved in triathlon, cycling and Cross Fit, as well as taking a variety of classes, I haven’t taught in the past 8 years. When an absolutely amazing opportunity came my way just a few weeks ago that would allow me to go back to teaching full time, I found myself needing to get re-certified, and fast. A group-exercise certification is an essential step that any qualified instructor should take before teaching a class, and most every fitness center requires one from an accredited organization. When it comes to organizations who certify for group exercise — which can be any format from cycling to yoga, boot camp to an interval class, and everything in between — there are literally dozens of organizations to choose from. How Do You Decide Which Organization to Use? The big names in the industry for group exercise include (but definitely aren’t limited to) ACSM, ACE, AFAA, AFPA, NETA and more. When choosing which organization to become certified though, I highly recommend considering these three factors to help you decide which organization is best for you Where do you want to work? Do they require a specific certification?"

"text": "How to Get Rid of Secretary Buttby ELLE PAULA Sept. 11, 2017The term “secretary butt” refers to a round, flat and shapeless bottom. The theory behind the term is that sitting all day, as secretaries do, flattens your bottom, giving it an unsightly appearance. Although the term secretary is used, it can be applied to any job that requires you to sit for extended periods of time. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Banish the Butt An obvious answer to getting rid of “secretary butt” is to do exercises that target your buttocks. One such exercise is a squat. To properly execute a squat, stand with your feet hip-width apart, pull your belly in and contract your abdominal muscles. Bend your knees and lower your body, mimicking the motion you would make if you were going to sit in a chair. Go as low as you can. Ideally, your knees will form a 90-degree angle.

All right-sided murmurs increase with inspiration (Carvallo sign). Increased volume either increases the gradient across a stenotic valve or the amount of regurgitation in a regurgitant murmur. Left-sided murmurs do not increase with inspiration. Increasing the afterload by isometric handgrip can differentiate systolic murmurs at the apex from murmurs at the base. With handgrip, an increase in a systolic murmur excludes an aortic or pulmonic murmur. A decrease in a systolic murmur excludes mitral or tricuspid murmur. Differentiating Systolic Murmurs at the Base To differentiate aortic stenosis from pulmonic stenosis, do the following: First, note the carotid upstroke compared with the PMI. A delayed carotid upstroke suggests aortic stenosis. Listen carefully to S2."

This workout turned out to be quite different from the traditional Pi Yo workouts, because you don’t use a mat and this one has more of a cardio focus. My initial impression of this workout is that despite being only 22 minutes long, it is one of the tougher Pi Yo workouts I have done so far and it definitely makes you move around the most. The workout starts with a 4 minutes warm-up, that is similar to the regular Pi Yo warm-ups, but includes more Squats and Squat Pulses. After the warm-up, the first section of the main workout is Legs and lasts for 6:30. This section starts with you jogging slowly and then builds in speed and intensity, by adding in turns and Reverse Lunges. The next part of the Legs section has you doing side to side Skaters. Just like the jogging these also build in speed and intensity, by adding in the arms and Bowler’s Lunges. The second section of the main workout is Squats & Sumos, and lasts for 5:30. This section starts with some lunges, which start slowly and you are not really trying to go all that deep."

"text": "Health Fitness & Exercise Exercise Q: Why Does Stroke Volume Increase During Exercise? A: Quick Answer Stroke volume increases during exercise because the body's demand for more oxygen-filled blood increases, and an increase in stroke volume, due to contractions that are more powerful, will help eject more blood that can be distributed throughout the entire body, as reported by HSC Online. Stroke volume is better defined as the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart by the left ventricle during each contraction, and is measured in milliliters per beat. By determining the stroke volume, medical professionals are able to determine the amount of blood that is being pumped, and the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the muscles. Continue Reading Keep Learning Why Does Your Pulse Rate Rise After Exercise? Why Does the Heart Beat Faster After Exercise? What Are Some Ways to Improve Blood Circulation? Full Answer Stroke volume only increases at exercise intensifies to between 40 and 60 percent, at which point it is said to plateau, as it has reached it maximum limit and capacity, even up until the body has reached exhaustion. The body position that an individual is in when exercising will also affect stroke volume. Research has found that an upright body position will increase stroke volume more than a supine body position, because the resting stroke volume values are higher in the supine body position since the blood can easily flow back to the heart."

"text": "Blue or Purple Gums (Cyanosis)Rate this 0 votes Add this content to your profile or group The gum colour of dogs and cats are ordinarily a pale-pink to pink colour. Between individual dogs and cats there are some variations in shade but all are usually an obvious shade of pink. Gum mucous membranes are fantastic health indicators in dogs and cats as they act as a window to visualise the health of the blood system in the animal. Gums are packed full of capillaries (small blood vessels), and it’s these capillaries which make up the colour of the gums. Hence, changes in both the blood perfusion of tissue and the oxygen and carbon dioxide saturation of blood are reflected in a colour change in the capillaries and the gums. The key to using gum colour as a way of identifying health problems in your pet is to know the normal gum colour of your pet so you can identify when that colour changes in some way. The more common colour changes in buccal mucosal membranes are: Yellow – Indicating Jaundice/Icterus – Liver Disease Blue – Cyanosis – Poorly oxygenated blood White - Hypoxia, shock, dehydration Injected/Bright red - Hypertension (high blood pressure)Blue or purple gum colour in dogs and cats usually indicate cyanosis. Cyanosis is caused by poor oxygenation of the blood or more specifically poor clearance of carbon dioxide from the blood. In normal cellular metabolism you breathe in oxygen and the oxygen is used by tissue cells for cellular metabolism to produce energy for the body. The by-product of cellular metabolism is carbon dioxide which is carried by the blood to the lungs where it is breathed out."

Panting is your dog's way to cool their body. Because dogs don't sweat like we do the only effective way they can cool themselves is by panting. All dogs do that and it is perfectly normal. So if panting is normal, why should you worry about it? If your dog is panting more heavily than usual, or without an obvious reason, he might be in trouble! You share your life with your dog and nobody knows him better than you do. That's why it is so important for you to know when to start worrying. Excessive or unexplained panting can be a symptom of a serious health issue."

When you remove your finger, the gums should briefly be white but should return to their pink color within two seconds. The appearance of the gums is very informative. If the gums are blue, the dog lacks oxygen. If they are white, the dog has lost blood, either internally or externally. If the gums are purple or gray and there is a slow capillary refill, the dog is probably in shock. If they are bright red, she may be fighting a systemic infection or may have been exposed to a toxin. Some dogs have black-pigmented gums, which can make assessment difficult. For these dogs, you need to examine the pink tissue on the inside of the lower eyelid by gently pulling the eyelid down."

When bacteria builds up along the gum line, it can sneak under the gums and cause inflammation. As bacteria increases, the gums begin to pull away from the teeth and small pockets of infection develop. The gums become more inflamed and red, often bleeding easily. The best remedy for gingivitis is to improve your dog's dental health. According to veterinarian Karen Becker, chewing on a raw bone is the equivalent of brushing and flossing your dog's teeth."

Glands in your dog's mouth produce saliva, which is an enzyme-rich liquid that helps lubricate your dog's food and begins the digestive process while she is chewing. But you can have too much of a good thing. Excessive salivation is not normal. In fact, in extreme cases it can lead to dehydration. In order to figure out why your dog is producing so much saliva, you need to get a good look inside her mouth. Injuries : Look closely for bleeding or wounds. Other signs of injuries and irritations are indicated by changes in color. The normal healthy pink or pigmented color of your dog's gums will be an angry red or even purple when those tissues are injured or infected. Infection: The presence of pus - usually a slightly yellow to green sticky, pasty material -indicates a bacterial infection."

We look at the color of humans' faces to determine their health; indeed, facial pallor has been associated with sickness for centuries. In dogs, on the other hand, we can get an idea of the dog's overall health by simply looking at the color of the gums. Yes, the gums... you heard right. Contrary to how the saying goes, a wet nose isn't an indicator of a dog's health, but the gums are fairly reliable if you know what to look for. This is why if your dog has been acting sickly, your vet will skip the nose and go straight to the mouth. It's a good habit to get accustomed to the look of your dog's gums so you can recognize changes.

By Brandy Arnold Posted on Sep 24, 20143463SHARESFacebook Twitter Subscribe There are many kinds of food that humans eat which are unsafe for dogs. Onions are not an exception. Feeding your pooch onions can make him seriously ill, whether they are raw, cooked, or in powdered form. What you Need to Know Onions are toxic to canines because of the substance they contain known as thiosulfate. Since dogs do not have the enzyme used to digest this substance, onions become a harmful food for them. Although rarely any observable side effects can be seen if your pooch consumes just a minimal amount of onions. For example, he sneaks a piece of pizza off the counter or steals a bite of your burger, most likely he will be just fine. Too frequent feeding of onions, however, can affect your pet’s health and vitality. Additionally, onions contain a compound called organosulfur that results in toxicosi, a condition brought about by poisoning which can be easily absorbed by the dog’s digestive tract."

Dog panting is a normal canine respiratory response to various factors such as physical activity, heat and exhaustion. However, this excessive panting can be a result of some serious health problems, so you should monitor your pet in order to see whether you should take him to the vet or not. If your dog pants for no apparent reason, especially if he has not been physically exhausted recently, you should definitely take him for a checkup. This article will provide you with a short guide on possible causes, symptoms and medical conditions. Contents [ hide]1 Overview2 What to do3 Health problems associated with excessive panting Overview Dog panting is a term that represents the way a dog takes quick and shallow breathes through an open mouth, often when his tongue is sticking out. When dogs do this, they manage to cool down and normalize their breathing. It is the fact that dogs do not have as many sweat glands as we humans do. The only sweat glands they have are the ones on the pads on their feet and their nose. They usually take between 10 and 30 breaths per minute, and that depends on their size or breed."

It’s a common statement or wives’ tale that gets thrown around every now and then, mostly by one of the many dog lovers in their attempts to comfort friends that don’t enjoy having their faces licked. According to the 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 62 percent of all U. S. households own a pet. That is about 71.4 million homes just in America alone. The majority of these pets are dogs, closely followed by cats. These pets are often more than just animals but considered more as a member of the family. But is this cleanliness statement one of fiction or fact? Well, let’s think about this objectively. Most humans brush and floss their teeth two to three times daily, and don’t eat out of the trash or drink out of the germ-covered toilet."

It can arise in lymph nodes as well as organs such as the spleen, liver, intestinal tract and skin. In dogs, the most common presentation is non-painful enlargement of the body’s lymph nodes - typically under the jaw, in front of the shoulders and behind the knees. The most common location of lymphoma in cats is the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms vary depending on what organs are involved, and can include decreased appetite and energy level, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and increased drinking and urination. Diagnosing lymphoma usually starts by obtaining cells of the affected organ with a needle for a clinical pathologist to examine. This can be done quickly, rarely needs anesthesia and results are usually back within 24 hours. If the results are suggestive of lymphoma, a larger portion of the lymph node or organ involved will be taken and sent to the histopathology lab for analysis. Many times this can be performed while the patient is under a short-acting anesthetic. However, if the intestinal tract is involved, samples may need to be obtained through endoscopic or surgical biopsy."

Recognize the Signs of Heat Exhaustion in Your Dog Dogs suffering from heat stroke will normally exhibit some or all of the following symptoms:• Restlessness • Panting • Increased respiratory rate • Increased heart rate • Excess salivation • Vomiting • Diarrhea As the symptoms progress and the dog’s body temperature increases, signs become even more serious.• Weakness • Staggering • Gasping • Gum color may become brick red, then purple or blue (cyanosis) • Seizures • Coma • Death Treatment of Heat Exhaustion If you believe your dog is suffering from heat exhaustion, seek veterinary care immediately even if your dog’s condition does not seem serious. Cool water can be used to begin to decrease his body temperature during the trip to the veterinarian. Towels can be soaked in cool water and used to cover your dog. You can also place the towels between his legs and across his neck. Do not use cold water or ice. This may make the situation worse. Preventing Heat Exhaustion In many cases, heat exhaustion is preventable.• Never leave your dog untended in your car, even if the temperature is mild."

Because of their anatomy, dogs don’t get nose bleeds with every little bump to the nose as people do. Nose bleeds are upsetting and messy and hardly escape attention. Particularly since dogs often also start sneezing as a result of blood in their nostrils. If the bleeding isn’t stopping on its own, you will quite likely rush your dog to the vet. When it does stop, though, should you still go to see your veterinarian? Like with everything else, it depends. If it was just one little bleed and it stopped on its own, no, I would not rush my dog to the vet. Jasmine had a little nose bleed once."

How to Do a Perfect Push Up Get on the floor on all fours, positioning your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Extend your legs back so that you are balanced on your hands and toes. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back. You can position you feet to be close together or a bit wider depending upon what is most comfortable for you. Before you begin any movement, contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine. Keep a tight core throughout the entire push up.

"text": "How to Prepare for the Army Physical Fitness Test Listen: How to Prepare for the Army Physical Fitness Testplaymutemax volume Subscribe on i Tunes Podcast RSSExpert advice on preparing for this rigorous test. By Ben Greenfield, Get-Fit Guy September 12, 2011Listener Mike recently wrote in asking:“Would you analyze the current Army Fitness Test, point out what it is testing, where it fails, and what soldiers can due to max the test without creating a muscle imbalance or hurting their back, shoulders, and knees, which are all common aliments among our service men and women? I am sure all of the soldiers out there appreciate your advice!”This one is for all you soldiers (and potential recruits) who want to learn everything you need to know about preparing for the Army Fitness Test. What is the Army Physical Fitness Test? The Army Physical Fitness Test, also known as the APFT, is designed to test the fitness of soldiers in the United States Army. A test of your muscular strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness is conducted by scoring you on 3 separate events:a push-up completed with your upper arms at least parallel to the grounda sit-up completed with your upper body rising to a vertical position, with your neck over your spinea two-mile run You are scored on your performance in the APFT by adding up the total number of points in each of the 3 events. Scoring is based on gender, age category, and number of repetitions you perform for the push-up and sit-up, plus run time. If you’re an active soldier, you are required to take the APFT at least twice a year, and if you’re a reserve soldier, you must test at least once per year. How to Prepare for the Army Physical Fitness Test With proper workouts, you can maximize your ability to succeed at the APFTest. For most males to be optimally prepared, you should be able to do 60-75 push-ups in two minutes, 65-80 sit-ups in two minutes, and clock in at 13 to 14:30 minutes for your two-mile run."

Tube lures are nothing more than a hollow tube made of soft plastic with one end closed and 25-40% of its open end (butt) sliced into thin strips. So what's the deal with that? Well, these little tentacles float and move enticingly when the tube bait is dropping slowly to the bottom, being worked by the angler or even sitting still. These tentacles provide very nice action. Smallmouth can't stand this and will aggressively strike them, so they say . Listen, these are great artificial baits but we all know a smallmouth will and does ignore anything it darn well pleases if it's not in the mood. There is no perfect lure. But a tube is indeed an effective one and I almost always have one rigged-up on deck."

"text": "How to Turn a Motorcycle Effectively to Improve Corner Entry Riding Advice / By Dan Netting You would be surprised how many people couldn’t really tell you how they turn a motorcycle. For a lot of people they simply arrive at a corner and without even thinking about it they tip in and go round the turn with little thought to what they’re doing or what’s going on underneath them. Learning how we can effectively turn a motorcycle can have big benefits to our corner entry as well as helping us improve corner entry speed and set you well on your way to confident and precise steering actions and turn-ins. But before we look at how being aware of how to turn a motorcycle can help us, let’s first briefly look at the physics behind motorcycle turning. How We Turn a Motorcycle: Counter Steering What is counter steering? Counter steering is a method used by single track vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles to initiate lean into a turn. The idea is that – at anything above running pace – we briefly steer counter to the direction we actually wish to travel to get the desired lean angle for a turn, so if you want to lean to the right, you steer left and the bike tips in to the right. An easier way of saying it is if you wish to go right, you push on the right handlebar and this will initiate the lean in that direction. Is counter steering easy to learn? I will confidently answer yes to this question, the reason being, I know you do it already!"

"text": "Bart Loews, lifelong swimmer, avid runner, yoga practitioner, passionate exercise enthusiast Updated Mar 28, 2016 · Author has 8.4k answers and 19.2m answer views First, it should be noted that a push up is not the same thing as a bench press...it works the same muscles, generally, but is a closed chain exercise while bench press is an open chain. They are sightly different skills for that reason. The 60-80% is the appropriate range for a standard push up. A push up is a simple lever. Your feet are the fulcrum. The weight range specified depends entirely on how far away from the fulcrum your body weight is distributed. The closer to the fulcrum, the less amount of force it will take to move. If you're top heavy, you're closer to 80%. Bottom heavy, closer to 60%. The percentage depends on how your weight is distributed: your feet and everything down from the shoulders won't be considered and if most of your weight is in your legs you'll be pressing less weight (the closer to the lever, the easier it is to move)."

What makes it a little tricky is the fact that there’s a lot of ways it can go. The amount of potential workout schedules, splits, and plans to choose from is enough to make your head explode. However, you can greatly narrow them down to just the handful that are best for you by factoring in 3 key workout schedule requirements. They are: Your workout schedule must fit your ideal training frequency. The workout split you choose must allow you to reach the weight training frequency that is BEST for your specific goal and experience level. Meaning, do you need a split that allows you to train each muscle group once per week, twice per week, or 3 times per week? Your workout schedule must fit your personal weekly schedule. How many days can you actually manage to work out per week? 3 times?"

However, it's not necessary to spend four hours in the gym every day to feel and see a marked improvement to your overall health. What is necessary, however, is to make sure that you are maximizing your time — even if is far less than four hours per day.

Obviously, any exercise program depends on the underlying health status of the participant. Be certain that your health is appropriate for exercise prior to attempting a new program.1. Interval Training This refers to doing almost any type of exercise at a variable pace. For example, if you are walking or doing push-ups, vary the pace of the exercise. You can walk normally for a minute or so, and then speed up a bit, and then return to normal speed several times."

"text": "\"Ari Royce, former Fighter and Gambling Bookie Updated Mar 8, 2016 · Author has 138 answers and 904.4k answer views Why does it move? Because when we move an object forward, we're also being moved backward. That's the Newton's third law, and it's absolutely correct. But you often see that when we move an object, we seem to not move at all. That's a deceiving look. The third law says F = F', but F depends on mass from the relation F = ma. So even though both objects get the same force, it depends on how big the mass of each object, the bigger the object, the smaller the acceleration it gets, thus the smaller the distance it travels compared to the other object. We do move backward, but the move is so small that we hardly notice. When you're playing ice skating, pick one of your friend that more or less has the same weight with you. Stand facing each other."

For men, the chest or “pecs” (short for pectorals) are second only to biceps as the top show muscles in teenagers and young adults. For women, the chest is even more important. Keeping well built pecs can be useful in maintaining a solid, perky appearance of the breasts. Serious fitness enthusiasts and athletes know that the pecs are involved in one of the main powerlifting exercises, the bench press. The bench press is one of three exercises, including squats and deadlifts, in a standard big 3 powerlifting competition. For this reason, it is always important for powerlifters to increase their chest strength. Therefore it seems to me that everyone has a reason to train their chest, including men, women, athletes, bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen… everyone; and here are the top 5 best chest exercises you should use. How to Get a Big Chest Training to build a strong back and triceps are just as important to building a big chest, as chest exercises are.

"text": "\"How to Do More Push Ups Pushups are an integral part of military and law enforcement physical fitness. This exercise is a part of military service’s physical fitness test including the US Army, Air Force, and Navy. It is universally seen as a test of your upper body strength and is a mainstay in most physical fitness programs. Additionally, Special Operations Forces (SOF) take pride in performing challenging versions of the push up to put their bodies to the test, such as core training with push ups. Training to increase your push up performance is important – whether you are a US Army soldier preparing for your Physical Fitness Test, or a trainee conditioning before Basic Training, or someone preparing for the FBI Academy. If you expect to succeed in advanced elite training such as Army Ranger School or Airborne School , make sure you are able to accomplish a lot of push ups – because you will be tested!To increase your ability to do push ups and to increase your strength, you will need to vary your workouts. With any exercise, whether you’re using your own body weight, free weights or machines, if the resistance doesn’t increase, your muscles won’t be overloaded and the stimulus these fibers need to grow in size will be missing. Think about it: if you work up to three or four sets of 25 push-ups, how hard can each repetition be? You’d build local muscular endurance, but you wouldn’t be any stronger. Say a person doing bicep curls can do three sets of 20 reps with 15 pounds: wouldn’t you think they could probably do one set of 10 reps with 20 pounds?"

I'm guessing that many of you are on the edge of your seat, ready to speed through the article so you can tear me a new one in the Live Spill. The rest are likely getting comfortable, anticipating reading something that confirms what they already believe. Either way, at least I have your attention. First let me clarify: for the goals of improved strength, increased muscle size, improved athletic function, and improved general fitness, the bench press is the best exercise for the upper body. The bench press is easy to tear down. You're lying on a flat board, pushing a perfectly symmetrical load away from your body; when does that happen in real life? Name a sport where anything similar to the bench press occurs? Furthermore, lifters who are good at the bench are typically slow, barrel-chested fireplugs with T-rex arms. You've heard it all before – and I'm calling BS."

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Tone Your Arms Your biceps, located on the front of the arms, and the triceps, located on the back of the arms, both help lift your body during a pushup. A 2011 study, sponsored by the American Council on Exercise, determined that the triangle pushup is one of the most effective exercises for toning the triceps. Strengthen Your Chest and Shoulders Many people choose the pushup as a way to strengthen their pectoral, or chest, muscles. Pushups help build shoulder strength and stability. Trim Your Midsection Last but not least, pushups are an effective abdominal and lower-back exercise. A strong core makes it easier to perform other exercises and daily activities.

Endurance is a bit different as you are working on your distances so you need to run a pace that is comfortable for you, so as to achieve that distance and sometimes the slower the better. However, when I talk about pushing yourself or getting out of your comfort zone.. I’m generally meaning that you are working quite hard with the aim of improving your fitness, speed, endurance or strength, which in turn makes you fitter and stronger. Often these sessions are shorter in time but much harder in intensity One or two things can occur when you are pushing yourself to your limits physically.. The goals or desired outcomes are that you improve your fitness, by extending yourself physically. It means that your body will start to respond to the hard work and your muscles will grow accordingly and your cardio fitness will improve… the end result is that you will feel better, fitter and stronger...you will have more energy to apply to other areas of your life as well and generally you should feel good…. However, I’m sorry to say there can be another outcome...it’s where you are pushing yourself to limits that are making you unwell. You are not recovering from your workouts, you are getting tireder, sorer and are finding you haven’t the energy to complete workouts or even other activities in your life...this is definitely not the desired out come of pushing yourself in sport or running. So how do you tell the difference? The good outcome….is when you feel exhausted at the end of a work out but a few minutes later your breathing ok, you are talking and laughing with your running buddies. Your muscles are sore the next day but you can still go about normal daily activity, you sleep well and by the time your reach your next workout you are feeling energetic enough to push yourself to your limits again."

Say goodbye to that 45 minutes of cycling or elliptical workout; what you need is a killer cardio workout full of burpees. And don't forget to stay hydrated, that's why we recommend this sports water bottle. What is a Burpee? A burpee is the world's most hated cardio/muscle-building exercise, and yet one of the most effective at the same time. It combines basic resistance training movements (squat, push-up) with cardio movements (jumping) and core training (plank, jumping your feet back and forward). It's a beautiful blend of aerobic and anaerobic exercise that will have you gasping for breath and your muscles burning in no time!Why do Burpees? The fact that everyone hates burpees is actually what makes them so great for you. Here are a few reasons why burpees deserve a place in your weekly workout rotation: They're the total package -- Screw isolation moves like triceps kickbacks or leg extensions! Burpees are the real deal, and they work out most of the muscles in your body: your chest, shoulders, and triceps with a push-up, your butt, hamstrings, and quads with the squat and stand, your calves with the jump, and your back and abs with the jumping your feet back and forward."

Considering that a program should be developed around a person’s biology, age, goals, diet, free time, etc, there’s a lot of factors I can’t get in through email that would allow me to tailor a program specific to that person. Note: However, I do have a solution if you’re somebody that just wants to be told what to do. Our uber popular 1-on-1 coaching program pairs you with your own Nerd Fitness Coach who will get to know you, your goals, and your lifestyle, and develop a workout plan that’s specific to not only your body, but also to your schedule and life. We take the guesswork and uncertainty out of this process for hundreds of people – and we’d love to be able to pair your with a coach who can do the same. ***** Now, if you’re more of a “get my hands dirty and figure this stuff out on my own,” kind of person, – we’re going to dig into how to build your own workout plan today!Sure, developing a workout routine for yourself can be scary, but it’s really not too difficult and kind of fun once you understand the basics. First of all, let’s start with this question: what are you doing NOW for a workout? Is it working? Are you safe and is it making you healthier? If so, keep doing it!However, if you’re JUST getting started, you want to mix things up, or you’re ready to start lifting weights, it’s good to understand what goes into a program so you can build one for yourself."

How to Do a Proper Pushup for Lower Back Strength The Position for Elbow to Knee Push-Ups The Muscle Group Used in Body Dips Exercises A pushup is performed by using your arms to push your body upward from the floor while keeping your hips and knees in a straight line and your toes on the floor. Pushups primarily work the muscles of your upper body, including the chest, shoulders and arms. They also target muscles in your trunk, buttocks and legs that assist the muscles of your upper body. Chest Muscles Pushups engage the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and the serratus anterior muscles on each side of the chest, explains the American Council on Exercise. The pectoralis major attaches to the collar bone, breastbone and rib cage and runs to the humerus, the bone of the upper arm. The pectoralis minor runs from the middle of the chest back to the shoulder blade, and the serratus anterior starts at the ribs to the side of the chest and runs back to the shoulder blade. These muscles move your arm and stabilize the shoulder blade."

The pushup is an excellent way to work the chest without equipment. It's also a favorite because it's a compound movement that involves multiple muscles and joints. That means it doesn't just work the chest, it also involves the arms, shoulders, core and legs. This modified version, on the knees, gives the back and upper body extra support. If you're a beginner or don't have as much upper body strength, this is a good move to start with. Start on all fours with hands a bit wider than the shoulders. Walk the knees back a bit in order to lean your weight on the hands and flatten the back from the head down to the back of the knees. Pull the abs in and, keeping back straight, bend the elbows and lower body toward the floor until elbows are at 90-degree angles. Push back up and repeat for 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 16 reps."

When it comes to burning chest fat and losing man boobs, while at the same time, growing muscle and sculpting an unstoppable masculine chest, this one exercise is perhaps the best I’ve ever known. It’s far better than bench presses, pushups, cable crossovers, dumbbell flys and the like. I was first convinced about using this exercise when I learned about a guy called Vince Gironda. Now let me tell you a little about Vince. Vince was a bodybuilding legend who was known as the ‘Iron Guru’, and known for getting his clients big and ripped in record time. For 50 years, he trained more champion physique competitors than anyone in the business. He trained some of the most famous bodybuilders, as well as some of the world’s best actors and actresses. He was also known to get great results with regular joes like you and me."

Army BCT turns civilians into soldiers and teaches them marching, shooting, survival skills, and prepares them for life in the Army. The Army has several training base locations including Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina; Fort Knox in Louisville, Kentucky; Fort Leonard Wood in Waynesville, Missouri; and Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. Where you attend is primarily dependent upon the location of your follow-on, Advanced Individual Training (Job Training). In fact, if you enlist in one of the Combat Arms MOS's, you very well may receive basic training and Advanced Individual Training all at one location: Fort Benning for Infantry; Fort Knox for Armor; Fort Leonard Wood for Combat Engineers, military Police, and Chemical. Things You Can Do Before BCTA significant portion of your nine weeks at Army BCT will be taken up with marching, drill, ceremonies, and standing in formation. Your arms will thank you if you take some time before arriving at boot camp to study about and practice the basics of the drill. It's also a good idea to start ahead of the game by memorizing Army officer and enlisted ranks. You will also want to memorize the Army General Orders. There are seven Army Core Values that will be continually hammered into you during your nine-week training."

Tips For Pullups Pushup Routines for Beginners What Parts of the Body Do Pushups Work? Regardless of your weight, pushups are an effective body weight exercise to help you develop your pectoral muscles and strengthen your core. The general guidelines of three sets of 10 to 25 repetitions makes no allowance for different weights. If you weigh 200 pounds, you're lifting a significant amount of weight on each repetition, so this could affect the number you can do correctly. As with any exercise, performing it excessively can lead to muscle strains, so avoid the temptation to embark on lengthy pushup sessions. Muscles Worked When you perform pushups correctly, they target your pectoralis major muscles, which are the large muscles in your chest. Although frequent pushups can help you develop strong pecs, the exercise also works a number of other muscles in your body."

Calisthenic training can be done as a stand-alone routine, or programmed into any weight loss, bodybuilding or fitness workout. It has many benefits and is convenient, and it can be tailored to suit beginner, intermediate or advanced trainees.

Pushups are great for building muscle in your chest, shoulders and triceps muscles, as well as improving your core stability and muscular endurance. Pullups work your back, biceps and grip, and are a great test of upper-body strength. You don't have to stick to regular versions of the exercises, though. For pushups, strength coach Nick Tumminello recommends trying T pushups or clap pushups, doing them on a stability ball or medicine ball, or even doing them with just one arm. For pullups, try changing your grip width, or use a tree branch or pair of gymnastic rings for an extra challenge. Lower-Body Exercises One of the most effective lower-body calisthenics is the squat."

Follow 18 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This is normal and just tells you that the push ups are doing what they're suppose to be doing. Nothing to worry about. You shouldn't really ignore it, because your body is telling you that its getting close to is limit. In reality, do the push ups till you can't actually push yourself back up again. When you work you're actually tearing the muscle tissue, (which is why you get sore most of the time after working out) then, as your body heals itself it repairs that layer and actually puts on another, thus eventually making your muscles bigger. To help with the pain you can either eat something (with protein, or have a protein drink) which will help with the repair and the soreness, and it will also help to build the muscle faster. Or just take a pain reliever if its really bothering you THAT much, but really, it'll go away in an hour or so, at most.

Together, these exercises effectively cover the major muscles in the upper body. Pullups develop your back and biceps, while pushups target your chest, shoulders and triceps. Step 1Work out twice per week, completing three to six sets of each exercise. Schedule two days of rest between sessions to allow your muscles recovery time from this high volume. For example, train on Tuesdays and Fridays. Step 2Structure each workout so that you superset -- shuttling between exercises without rest -- between a pullup and pushup exercise. For example, complete one set of wide-grip pullups and then a set of pushups, rotating back and forth between the two until all sets of each are completed.

If your arms are that sore, take a day or two off. When you go back at it, do a few push-up workouts of moderate intensity before moving back to high intensity ones. Eventually, your muscles will get used to the pounding and you will stop getting so sore after your workouts (light to moderate soreness is to be expected after really intense workouts).

As a body-weight exercise, the pushup requires no equipment and offers benefits as wide-ranging as heightened arm strength, increased muscle definition and improved bone density. Primary Muscles The pushup chiefly targets the chest, shoulders and triceps, the muscles on the back of the upper arm. In the chest area, pushups work the pectoralis major, the thick, slab-like muscles that span from the collarbone to the upper ribcage. As the shoulders drive the motion of raising and lowering your body, the pushup focuses on the main muscle of this body part, the deltoids. Pushups specifically work the anterior – or front – deltoids, but they also engage the medial – or rear – deltoids."

A well-executed pushup recruits multiple muscles of the arms, chest and shoulder complex. To make your contours pop, try varying the placement of your hands to target specific muscles. Muscles Recruited in Pushups Categorically, pushups are considered a chest exercise. But in addition to the large pectoralis major muscle that defines the chest, pushups also recruit the triceps at the back of the upper arm, and the anterior deltoid at the front of the shoulder. When the scapulae, or shoulder blades, are fully protracted, the serratus anterior, which lies beneath the arm along the rib cage, comes into play. Your rectus abdominis, the long muscle that runs from your pubic crest to your ribs, is recruited as a stabilizer for the spine. While the pectoralis major is the prime mover in any pushup, your hand placement can determine which secondary muscles are emphasized during execution. Wide-Hand Plant Placing your hands wider than your shoulders minimizes the recruitment of the triceps and anterior deltoid while emphasizing the pectoral muscles. Because elbow extension is diminished, the triceps play a less significant role."

Fogoros, MDUpdated February 16, 2018Share Pin Email Printthelinke/E+/Getty Images Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. It is one of the components of muscular fitness, along with muscular strength and power. Types of Muscular Endurance In strength training, muscular endurance refers to the number of repetitions of a single exercise you can do without needing to stop and rest. Examples include how many times you can do a full squat, a sit-up, or a bicep curl with a light-to-moderate weight before breaking form. The specific type of muscular endurance used during cardiovascular fitness activities such as running, swimming, or cycling is usually called cardiovascular endurance or cardiorespiratory endurance and is different from the strength training definition. Endurance training for these types of physical activities builds the energy systems of the body, the muscle fibers, and capillaries that can sustain long periods of exercise, such as running a marathon or cycling a 100-miler. Measuring Muscular Endurance The American College of Sports Medicine recommends muscular endurance testing as well as muscular strength testing when you start a program of strength training. The results will help a trainer set the right intensity and loads for your exercises. The pushup test is often performed as a measure of upper body muscular endurance. You do as many pushups as you can before you break form."

If you thought popular beauty trends such as contouring and strobing were enough hard work, then baking may seem like trying to master the Rubix cube. The technique, also known as cooking, is not exactly a new trend having been adopted by make-up artists (MUAs) for many years but beauty bloggers are now jumping on the bandwagon to achieve their flawless looks. Why advertise with us Although the name suggests putting your expensive make-up products into an oven – please, do not do this – it actually relies on the heat from your face to do the leg work. Reality star Kim Kardashian may have popularised contouring to chisel her features but she also swears by cooking her face, which is how the fashionista creates that perfect finish. Before you go plying obscene amounts of powder and concealer onto your skin, IBTimes UK outlines everything you need to know about baking from the experts... Where did baking come from? Baking, or cooking, is a trick that has been used by drag queens and celebrities for decades. Those who use the technique regularly tend to be performers and models who need to prevent their make-up from melting while under bright lights for lengthy periods.

"text": "Base Makeup Favorite Setting Powders: Pressed and Loose March 7, 2015I’ve discussed foundations, primers and tinted moisturizers on this blog but haven’t done a roundup on my favorite beauty powders. One of the keys to making my foundation or tinted moisturizer last is to use a good setting powder to make everything stay put. I’ve rounded up my favorites for my sensitive medium-toned skin. Finding a good powder can take time and a lot of testing. Just like foundation, some colored powders look good once you apply it but can end up darkening after a few hours. Others might be too matte and make your face look completely flat. Then there are powders that are too heavy and can end up looking cakey on your skin or feel like it just sits on your skin. When it comes to setting powders, I like both translucent kinds and ones with medium to medium-full coverage. If a powder is tinted but too sheer, I find it can look too powdery on the skin and I’d rather just stick with something that is translucent. Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."

"text": "Secrets of the Superhuman Food Pyramid: Benefits of Wild Salmon, Trout, Tilapia or Flounder Posted on June 5, 2013 by Ben Greenfield Facebook Twitter Salmon and tilapia are extensively farmed. Trout and flounder have more or less escaped this fate mostly because they’re also often used for recreational fishing. Wild varieties of these fish are recommended because they are the ones least likely to be contaminated by industrial and household wastes that commonly pollute fresh and sea waters. Dioxins, short for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, are one of the more frequently identified. PCBs or polychlorinated biphenyl compounds are another. Both have been found to be high in farmed salmon. The presence of such pollutants in fish is certainly unfortunate as there are few other types of food that can present such an excellent protein profile. So to fully take advantage of the nutrition these types of fish offer, make sure you eat those that were caught in the wild rather than raised in a commercial fish farm. Read further and discover the health benefits of wild salmon, trout, tilapia or flounder and why the Superhuman Food Pyramid strongly recommends you add this source of protein in your diet. Wild Salmon, Trout, Tilapia or Flounder Benefits: Here’s a list of the total proteins that each of these types of fish can provide."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian The mountain pygmy possum can only be found in Australia's alpine and sub-alpine regions above 1400m elevation, in New South Wales and Victoria. In NSW, it is found only in the Kosciuszko National Park, while in Victoria it can be found around Mt Bogong and the high Bogong Plains, parts of Falls Creek, Mt Buller and Mt Hotham, and between Mt Loch and Mt Higginbotham. Its habitat seems to be where Australia's main ski resorts are, and this is the biggest threat to its survival. The mountain pygmy possum shelters in rock crevices and among the boulder-strewn slopes of these snowy areas, but only where the Mountain Plum Pine trees grow. The mountain pygmy possum is Australia's only marsupial that is known to hibernate. At most, it hibernates for only three weeks at a time.

"text": "\"Overview Rainforests are defined as dense forests with high amounts of annual rainfall, often located in tropical regions. There are two types of rainforest: tropical and temperate. Tropical Rainforest is often located between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. Regions that have Tropical Rainforest growth include Brazil and northern South America, West Central Africa, India and Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Northeast Australia. Temperate Rainforests are located in several regions across the world including the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada, and various regions of Europe, Russia and Eastern Asia. Temperate Rainforest may often have more coniferous trees such as pines, firs and redwoods; whereas Tropical Rainforest contains more broad-leafed trees. In 1917, the rainforest was described by naturalist William Beebe: \"\"Yet another continent of life remains to be discovered, not upon the earth, but one to two hundred feet above it, extending over thousands of square miles ... there awaits a rich harvest for the naturalist who overcomes the obstacles— gravitation, ants, thorns, rotten trunks— and mounts to the summits of the jungle trees. \"\" Layers of the Rainforest Emergent Layer - Emergent Trees reach high above the average tree height of the rainforest canopy. These trees can grow to heights of 200 feet or more. Emergent trees do not generally grow close to one another, and will endure different conditions than other trees of the rainforest."

There are three basic types of components: SENSORSPOWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULEACTUATORSThese components and their associated harnesses, form a control system that determines optimum injection timing, injection pressure, injection duration, and fuel delivery. Sensors The engine has eight sensors which constantly monitor performance and operating conditions. The job of each sensor is to accurately monitor a specific engine condition and generate a signal voltage to send through the vehicle wiring harness to the PCM. The sensors provide the information necessary for the PCM to make decisions to control engine performance. Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)The accelerator position sensor (APS) attached to the pedal assembly, provides the PCM with the driver's demand for power. The APS signal is used in calculating desired fuel quantity, injector timing and injection control pressure. The idle validation switch (IVS) provides the PCM with a redundant signal to verify when the pedal is in the idle position. An APS signal that is detected out of range, high or low, by the PCM will cause the engine to ignore the APS signal and will only allow the engine to operate at low idle. If a disagreement in the state of IVS and APS is detected by the PCM, the engine will be allowed to operate at low idle only and a fault code will be registered by the on-board diagnostics Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP)The CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor is a hall effect type sensor, located in the front cover."

South American Tapir Scientific Name: Tapirus terrestris The South American tapir or the Brazilian tapir is the second largest mammal in South America, second to its cousin, the Baird’s Tapir. There are four species of tapir in the world and three of them reside in South and Central America. Tapirs are related to horses and rhinoceroses, not pigs or anteaters, as people commonly think. They share the same type of feet – having hooves on the ends of their legs – and animals like these are known as ungulates. The South American tapir is found in lowland regions around Northern and Central South America. They are usually found near places that have salt and water. Very little is known about these quiet creatures and researchers are using methods such as camera and footprint traps to track and monitor populations in the area. Tapirs have few babies throughout their lifetime and they take a long time before giving birth the first time, which results in their recovery being very slow if the population is disturbed."

"text": "Method1 Using region1 Consider the region where the bird was spotted. This can assist greatly in its identification. Each continent has its own array of species of parrots, and of course each type of bird lives within certain regions on a continent. Take note of where the bird was spotted, being as specific as possible, and compare that region to what you know about where different kinds of parrots live. Some species are found in places where they are not native, having been imported or otherwise introduced to these areas. Consider this possibility before you rely on location as a means of identifying a parrot, and ask a local expert if you think this might be the case.2 Know the parrots of South America. This continent is home to the majority of macaws, conures, Pionus parrots, 'typical' parrots, some hanging parrots, parrotlets, amazon parrots, and the atypical hawk headed and Quaker parrots.3 Study the birds of Africa. Africa is inhabited fairly sparsely with the well known African Grey parrot, along with all of the lovebirds, all of the Poicephalus parrots, and the black or Vasa parrots (from Madagascar). There is also the African ringneck, Africa's only member of the psittacula genus.4 Understand that Asia is populated by parrots south of the Himalayas. The resident species include the Psittacula parakeets and hanging parrots."

There are thought to be over 350 species of parrot worldwide, ranging across rainforest regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The parrot tends to inhabit densely forested areas, where the parrot hunts insects and small mammals, as well as eating nuts, seeds and fruits. The parrot can grow between 8cm and 1m, depending on the parrot species. The pygmy parrot is the smallest species of parrot in the world, growing to around the same size as an adult human's finger. The pygmy parrot is found in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest species of parrot in the world, growing to more than a meter in height and native to the jungles of central and eastern South America. However, the endangered kakapo of New Zealand can often be heavier than the Hyacinth Macaw, with the kakapo often reaching more than 3kg in weight. The parrot is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all the bird species, mainly in the sense that parrots are able to replicate (mimic) the noises made around them. Some parrots are able to mimic modern sounds and human voices to almost perfection."

The Scientific Committee made a Preliminary Determination to support the proposal to list the \"\"Loss of biodiversity as a result of loss and/or degradation of habitat following clearing and fragmentation of native vegetation.\"\" The Scientific Committee considers that \"\"Clearing of native vegetation\"\" is a more appropriate name for this Key Threatening Process. The Scientific Committee has found that:1. Clearing of native vegetation is recognised as a major factor contributing to loss of biological diversity.2. Land Clearance is listed as a Key Threatening Process under the Commonwealth's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act, 1999.3. In New South Wales since 1788 at least 61% of the original native vegetation has been cleared, thinned or substantially or significantly disturbed (Environment Protection Authority 1997). The proportion of area cleared varies between region and community type (Native Vegetation Advisory Council 1999) and in some cases has exceeded 90% (for example - South East Grassy Forests - (Keith & Bedward 1999).4.

Many people do say they experience pain and discomfort in the abdominal area which seems to be related to inflammation of the liver, but it`s difficult to say what exactly is causing your symptoms as there could be many different reasons why you are getting these unpleasant feelings of bloating and swelling.

If you’re looking for breathtaking beauty, mind-bending adventure – and the opportunity to observe a great many wild creatures in their natural habitats – you can do no better than to take a trip to Amazonia, the most biodiverse tropical rainforest on earth. The rainforest is inhabited by 1,800 kinds of fish, 1,300 bird species, 311 mammal species and 165 types of amphibians in distinct ecosystems. It’s not a trip for the timid, but those who dare will have the journey of a lifetime. Big River The Amazon River is at least 4,000 miles long, extending from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 1,000 tributaries branching out along the way. The Amazon Basin sprawls over 2.6 million square miles, almost all of which is covered by rainforest. Although the Amazon River is most associated with Brazil, this nation’s development and industrialization have led to a decreasing wildlife population. You can enjoy a river cruise in Brazil and see quite a few animals. But don’t make Brazil your only stop; you’re likely to spot more wildlife in Peru or Ecuador.

Two Pygmy Parrot species – the Red-Breasted ( Micropsitta bruijni) and the Finsch’s ( M. finschii) – drew the speaker to the Solomon Islands. In reflecting back on the talk afterwards, I realized that, despite my interest, I had yet to observe a live Pygmy Parrot. They’ve never been in the collection of the Bronx Zoo, where I worked for over 20 years, and only rarely appear in museums. Further research turned up one interesting field report, but it seems that we still know very little about these smallest and, arguably, most unusual of all parrots. The World’s Smallest Parrots Six species of Pygmy Parrots inhabit New Guinea, the Solomons and neighboring islands. They look, in most respects, like other parrots – but barely exceed a human thumb in size! At 3.5 inches in length, the Buff-Faced Pygmy parrot ( M. pusio) is the smallest Psittacine; its relatives are not much bigger. Please see the video below…it is hard to believe they are real!Singular Feeding Adaptations Small size is not their only unique characteristic. Pygmy Parrots are believed to rely heavily upon lichen and tree fungus as food, the only parrots to do so."

"text": "Types of Pet Birds Why Do Parrots Sleep Upside Down?by Sarah Whitman Among hundreds of parrot species, only some sleep upside down. Most species of parrots sleep standing up with one foot up. However, some species have the ability to sleep upside down. These species are fittingly known as hanging parrots. Some parrot species, like the African grey parrot, also like to just hang out, upside down, while they're playing or relaxing. General Sleeping Positions According to the Elite Parrots Club, parrots sleep with one foot pulled up into their feathers when they're in a sound sleep. During naptime, they may rest their heads against themselves or a surface. They may lie on their backs, but that's less common. If a parrot sleeps on both feet, it may be a sign of illness -- the parrot may feel too weak to support his body on one foot. Hanging Parrot Species Several species of hanging parrots are referred to as hanging parrots."

A friction crane is an older model like an American 9210 who's boom controls are gear/ clutch driven. Engaging the clutch and throwing the gears requires a very stout frame and they typically have much stiffer booms and can tolerate a lot more abuse.... They are good for rough lifting operations like pulling pile or pile driving. Hydraulic cranes are there modern counterparts who's boom is controlled by hydraulic pistons which have a much lighter, more delicate touch to the controls and are much better in \"\"heavy lift\"\" operations where you need precision movement.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The Brazilian population was formed by the influx of Portuguese settlers and African slaves, mostly Bantu and West African populations [3] (such as the Yoruba, Ewe, and Fanti - Ashanti ), into a territory inhabited by various indigenous tribal populations, mainly Tupi, Guarani and Ge [4] In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in what is known as Great Immigration, [5] new groups arrived, mainly of Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German origin, but also from Japan, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. [ 6]When the Portuguese reached what is now called Brazil in 1500, its native population was probably composed of about 2.5 million Amerindians. [ 7] Up to 1532, the Portuguese made no real effort to colonise the land, limiting to the establishment of \"\"feitorias\"\" to organise the trade of brazilwood. [ 8] When it became clear that this policy would result in the land being taken by other European powers – namely the French and the Dutch – the Portuguese Crown decided to effectively occupy the territory by fostering agricultural activities – especially sugarcane crops – in Brazil.

The undivided Christian Church designated June 24 as the feast day of the early Christian martyr St John the Baptist, and the observance of St John's Day begins the evening before, known as St John's Eve. These are commemorated by many Christian denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, and Anglican Communion.

"text": "\"ARTIGO ORIGINALEstudo comparativo entre anestesia espinhal e anestesia local com infusão de propofol para artroscopia do joelho Robson Rocha da Silva I; Marcos Almeida Matos II; Gleise Madureira III; Indiara Gouveia dos Santos IVIMédico Ortopedista; Chefe do Grupo de Joelho do Hospital Santa Izabel da Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia – Salvador, BA, Brasil II Professor Adjunto Doutor da Escola Baiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública – Salvador, BA, Brasil III Médica Anestesista do Hospital Santa Izabel da Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia – Salvador, BA, Brasil IV Médica Residente do Hospital Santa Izabel da Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia – Salvador, BA, Brasil Correspondência RESUMOOBJETIVO: Anestesia espinhal é um procedimento seguro e bem documentado para artroscopia do joelho; entretanto, custo maior e algumas complicações têm sido relatados. Por outro lado muitos ortopedistas são relutantes ao uso de anestesia local pelo receio de conversão para anestesia geral ou controle inadequado da dor. O propósito deste trabalho é comparar a anestesia local com anestesia espinhal em dois grupos de pacientes submetidos à artroscopia do joelho. MÉTODOS: Sessenta e cinco pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos, a depender do método de anestesia utilizado, e submetidos à mesma rotina cirúrgica e protocolo de analgesia pós-operatória, sendo avaliados quanto à analgesia, nível de dor no pós-operatório e aceitabilidade da modalidade anestésica. RESULTADOS: Os dois grupos não apresentaram diferenças significativas quanto à analgesia perioperatória e dor no primeiro dia pós-operatório, não diferiram também quanto ao estado emocional. Houve diferença significante quanto à aceitação do procedimento, sendo que 100% aceitariam novamente no grupo de anestesia local contra 60,5% no grupo de anestesia espinha; também 100% no grupo anestesia local contra 67,7% no grupo de anestesia espinhal referiram sentirem-se encorajados pelo tipo de anestesia. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que a anestesia local assemelha-se à anestesia espinhal em quase todos os aspectos, exceto quanto à sua maior aceitação e encorajamento do paciente em realizar o procedimento. A anestesia local pode ser boa opção aos bloqueios raquidianos, especialmente em hospitais-dia, e quando existe restrição por parte dos pacientes aos modelos tradicionais de anestesia. Descritores – Artroscopia; Joelho; Anestesia INTRODUÇÃOA artroscopia do joelho é um procedimento médico aprovado e de importância no diagnóstico e tratamento de diversas patologias. Desde os primórdios com Takagi, Bircher e Watanabe, evoluiu de forma extraordinária, graças ao aperfeiçoamento da técnica artroscópica e ao avanço tecnológico."

Mike.parry 22-07-2003, 02:02 PMHi Mike, this is an interesting one. I've tried a few things including putting two lots of quotes but it didnt work. However, if quoted text is in the cell (rather than a formula directly) then you can get it to work. Try putting \"\"Mike\"\" in cell a1 then a formula =a1 and it will come up with \"\"Mike\"\" rather than Mike. If you need to join several text strings together use &. HTHMike 22-07-2003, 02:32 PMThanks for the suggestion Parry, but unfortunately in my spreadsheet having the quotation marks in other cells isn't practical : ( otherwise I would just do as you suggested, or even just a cell with a single \"\" in it that I could call from the formula... Mike.parry 22-07-2003, 02:49 PMI'll think a bit more about this then. Meantime, could you post an example of your formula so I can get a better handle on what your trying to achieve.parry 22-07-2003, 02:55 PMOk, thought of something but may not be the answer your looking for. If you use the ASCII number 34 instead of the actual quotes it works."

Also, you'll find a number of examples in the comments at the end of the lessons where people have been trying to use SUMIFS when a Pivot Table is a better solution. If you can't find what you want here, try our lessons on Pivot Tables instead (opens in a new tab). Using SUMIFS - an example Consider the following table that contains sales data: Imagine you want to add up the sales amounts that are greater than $500, and where the quantity sold was 3 or more. You could solve the problem by creating an additional column and use the IF function to evaluate the sales amount and the sales quantity and calculate whether or not to include that sales amount in the total, but that would be somewhat long-winded AND would mean you have to have another column in the table. But the SUMIFS function means you don't have to."

By using a spreadsheet, any changes you make to your budget are instantly updated across the whole budget, with totals calculated for you. This tutorial shows you how to create a budget using Microsoft Excel 2013. If you’re using an earlier version of Excel or a spreadsheet from another company, you’ll find the principles and general techniques carry over, even though the menu commands differ. I’ll show you how to create a simple budget summary for a small organization we’ll call Bleeding Heart Do-Gooders. You can use the same approach to create a household budget, a budget for a trip or a specific event, and so on Adding data and formulae Here’s how to create the budget: Open Excel and create a new blank worksheet. No matter what sort of spreadsheet I am creating—a budget, timesheet, whatever—I usually find it’s best to leave a couple of rows at the top and a couple of columns at the left empty when I start setting up the spreadsheet. This makes it easy to insert a heading or to reorganize the design—it’s amazing how often you discover you should have allowed for another column or row, and while it’s easy to insert these later it’s even easier to allow a little space to start with. So, click in cell C4 (that is, column 4 row C) and type ‘Income’ (don’t include the quotation marks). Now we’re going to start listing our income categories and the amounts budgeted for each, so: Click in cell D5;Type ‘Donations’;Press the Tab key;Type ‘50,000’;Press Enter;Type Grants;Press the Tab key;Type ‘75,000’;Press Enter."

If not, the function returns FALSE as a value. In the image below, three conditions are tested by the formulas in rows two and three: Is the value in cell A2 less than 50;Is the value in cell A3 not equal 75;Is the value in cell A4 greater than or equal to 100. For the OR function, if one of these conditions is true, the function returns a value of TRUE in cell B2.

One of the benefits of Excel is that you can set up formulas ahead of time which will automatically update as you enter new data. Some formulas, unfortunately, are mathematically impossible without the requisite data, resulting in errors in your table such as #DIV/0!, # VALUE!, # REF!, and #NAME?. While not necessarily harmful, these errors will be displayed in your spreadsheet until corrected or until the required data is entered, which can make the overall table less attractive and more difficult to understand. Thankfully, at least in the case of missing data, you can hide Excel errors with some help from the IF and ISERROR functions. Here’s how to do it.

You can check over a printout of the formulas in your worksheet to make sure that you haven’t made a mistake (like replace a formula with a number or use the wrong cell references in a formula) before you distribute the worksheet companywide. Follow these steps to print formulas in an Excel 2010 worksheet: On the Ribbon’s Formulas tab, in the Formula Auditing group, click the Show Formulas button. Excel displays the contents of each cell in the worksheet as they normally appear only in the Formula bar or when you’re editing them in the cell. Notice that value entries lose their number formatting and long text entries no longer spill over into neighboring blank cells. Excel widens the columns so that the formulas appear in their entirety. Display formulas in the worksheet to help check for possible errors. With the formulas displayed, print the worksheet as you normally would any other report. Return the worksheet to normal by clicking the Show Formulas button on the Formulas tab of the Ribbon or by pressing Ctrl+` (the accent mark next to the 1 key).

You just need to create a link between the worksheets (within the same workbook or in different workbooks) by using what is called an external cell reference or a link. An external cell reference in Excel is nothing more than a reference to a cell or a range of cells outside the current worksheet. The main benefit of using an Excel external reference is that whenever the referenced cell (s) in another worksheet changes, the value returned by the external cell reference is automatically updated. Although external references in Excel are very similar to cell references, there are a few important differences.

Percentage Markup Percentage markups are important in a variety of settings because they calculate the percent of a value that can be added to the original value. In a retail environment, an item that is purchased for $5.00 with a percentage markup of 25 percent should be sold for $6.25. Sales tax is calculated in a similar way. You can input your data set into Excel, then add your own percentage markup values in your spreadsheet.

"text": "How to Write an Excel Criteria Statement That Links to a Specific Cellby Matthew Kuo on November 30, 2013in Formula Writing Tagged as: criteria, errors, processes, tutorials To learn more about Excel, go to the organized listing of all my Excel tutorial posts or review the most popular Excel books on Amazon I generally give Excel a lot of credit for being an intuitive and easy to learn tool. However, writing criteria statements that link to cells is probably one of the most un-intuitive aspects of formula writing in Excel. This is a very common mistake that occurs and therefore, should always be error-checked whenever you are writing criteria statements. Writing Excel Formula Criteria Most people understand the basic rules around writing an Excel criteria statement. Whenever you start a complex criteria statement (meaning ones that involve mathematical operators or text), you have to remember to add the quotation symbols around whatever you write. For example, if we wanted to count just the values that were greater than 0 within a given range, we would write:= COUNTIF ( Range , “>0” )In situations where you want to the criteria exactly equal to either a number or a cell, the quotation marks are no longer necessary. We can just list the number that we want in the criteria section of the syntax. In this example, I just want to count the values that are equal to 0 within a given range:= COUNTIF ( Range, 0 )And in this last example, I just want to count the values that are equal to the value in cell F3. It’s important to note that when writing this last statement, instead of typing the text “F3”, I can just directly click on the cell I want to get it into the formula:= COUNTIF ( Range , F3 )The Common Mistake The common mistake arises when we try to bring these components together – when we want to write a complex criteria statement that refers directly to a cell. To continue along with the previous examples, let’s say we want to count all values in a given range that are greater than the value in cell F3."

"text": "\"Microsoft Excel provides several functions purposed for counting different kinds of cells, such as blanks or non-blanks, with number, date or text values, containing specific words or character, etc. In this article, we will focus on the Excel COUNTIF function that is purposed for counting cells with the condition you specify. First, we will briefly cover the syntax and general usage, and then I provide a number of examples and warn about possible quirks when using this function with multiple criteria and specific types of cells. In essence, COUNTIF formulas are identical in all Excel versions, so you can use the examples from this tutorial in Excel 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007. Excel COUNTIF function - syntax and usage Examples of how to use COUNTIF in Excel COUNTIF formula for text and numbers (exact match)COUNTIF with wildcard characters (partial match)Count if blank or not blank Count if greater than, less than or equal to COUNTIF formulas for dates Excel COUNTIF with multiple criteria Count duplicates and unique values Excel COUNTIF - frequently asked questions and issues COUNTIF function in Excel - syntax and usage Excel COUNTIF function is used for counting cells within a specified range that meet a certain criterion, or condition. For example, you can write a COUNTIF formula to find out how many cells in your worksheet contain a number greater than or less than the number you specify. Another typical use of COUNTIF in Excel is for counting cells with a specific word or starting with a particular letter (s). The syntax of the COUNTIF function is very simple: COUNTIF (range, criteria)As you see, there are only 2 arguments, both of which are required:range - defines one or several cells to count. You put the range in a formula like you usually do in Excel, e.g. A1: A20.criteria - defines the condition that tells the function which cells to count. It can be a number, text string, cell reference or expression."

"text": "\"When you create an Excel table, Excel assigns a name to the table, and to each column header in the table. When you add formulas to an Excel table, those names can appear automatically as you enter the formula and select the cell references in the table instead of manually entering them. Here's an example of what Excel does: Instead of using explicit cell references Excel uses table and column names=Sum (C2: C7)=SUM (Dept Sales [Sales Amount])That combination of table and column names is called a structured reference. The names in structured references adjust whenever you add or remove data from the table. Structured references also appear when you create a formula outside of an Excel table that references table data. The references can make it easier to locate tables in a large workbook. To include structured references in your formula, click the table cells you want to reference instead of typing their cell reference in the formula.

Answer by Nicole Morgan Confidence votes 10.7KFounder of the Toronto Rabbit Cooperative Yes, many rabbits do enjoy celery, although if you are planning on giving them this make sure you cut it into pieces about one inch (2 cm) long. There is some talk that the strings can cause choking in rabbits, so cutting them into short pieces will avoid this concern. Also, only the dark-coloured celery leaves are very healthy for rabbits; the light-coloured leaves and the stalk itself are only good as an occasional treat -- they're low in nutrients and can lead to diarrhea.

They like to wait until she gets and apple or is otherwise distracted, then they attack her like ants. I take them out of her cage between 2 and 3 months. The biggest ones get out first, then over a few weeks I pull the rest out. This is so she doesn’t go into shock from having to produce milk then suddenly stop, which can cause problems for her. Weaning them this way is better for the kits and the doe. The smallest kits get a bit more time to nurse, which helps them catch up to fryer size faster.

Various types of dry and fresh grasses and plants with leaves comprise the largest portion of the wild rabbit diet. Rabbits will also eat bark on trees, tender twigs and sprouts, fruits, seeds and other nutritious foods in much small amounts. This is important to know when we decide what is a healthy diet for our house rabbits. The majority of the house rabbit diet should be composed ofgrass hay (any variety). Grass hay is rich in Vitamin A and D as well as calcium, protein and other nutrients. Eating hay promotes healthy teeth and gastrointestinal tract and should be available to your rabbit at all times. Varying the type of grass hay or mixing hays is a great idea (such as timothy, orchard, oat hay, brome, etc). Avoid the use of alfalfa hay as the primary source of hay due to the fact it is very high in calories and protein, far more than the average house rabbit needs. Alfalfa is not a grass, but rather a legume (in the pea and bean family)."

Until I got to Mexico, I had no idea what this thing was, but then I kept seeing more and more of them. Someone told me it was called a “coatimundi”, or “coati”, or “tejon” in Spanish. I was just going around calling it that “Mexican racoon thing”. They are also known as cholugo, or moncún, or sometimes “hog-nosed coon”. Every year we’re down in Mexico visiting from Canada, and this map shows roughly where we stay in a typical Mexican town of bout 15000 people called Bucerias. It isn’t marked on the map below, but it is approximately where the label says, “Surf Mexico”. You can see the river flowing into the bay. That is the swampy area where there also happens to be many giant hotels."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions Raccoons Are Raccoons dangerous? A raccoon can certainly be dangerous,although only when cornered, or protecting there young. They have sharp teeth and claws. Many dogs instinctively chase raccoons. The raccoon will normaly run for a high spot to get away, like a tree or a fence. But in the event that a raccoon doesnt make it that far before the dog catches up, it will hold on with its front paws and use its strong back legs and sharp claws to disembowel the attacker. In the event that a raccoon goes in your direction, it is best that you back away. This isn't normal raccoon behavior. It may be that it feels that you are threatening its young, or worse yet, it may be sick. Don't wait around to find out."

"text": "Raccoons and Birdfeeders Keep hungry raccoons from eating too much of your birdseed Adapted from the book Wild Neighbors Previous Next This may be comical and cute, but a raccoon in the birdfeeder is no laughing matter for most folks who feed the birds. Michael Szabo One quick and easy solution to keep raccoons from eating seed intended for your backyard birds is to put out only as much seed as the birds will eat by nightfall. Raccoons forage at night, so they’ll miss the free lunch you’re providing. Another equally simple solution is to bring your birdfeeders in at night and put them back out the next morning. Either way, your birds won’t miss out and you’ll likely save on seed costs. Here are some other options…Crash Diet — Remove your birdfeeders for a week, or slowly reduce the amount of food in the feeders. When the banquet disappears or dwindles in size, raccoons may seek other places to dine. Hang 'em high — Hang your birdfeeders on poles ½ inch or less in diameter, securing the pole firmly so it cannot be knocked over. Raccoons cannot climb such a thin pole, and they won’t be able to tip it over to access the seed. High-wire act — Suspend your birdfeeders from a wire extending between two trees."

"text": "Thanks to their diverse diets, raccoons are able to thrive in a number of different natural environments, and their regular meals depend largely on where they live. They frequently forage for food in their natural habitat, residential areas, and even inside homes and other buildings. In the wild, raccoons eat large prey, like birds and other mammals, but prefer to stick to easier meals where they are available. Some of their favorite foods include nuts, berries, insects, and eggs. When they set up their denning sites near bodies of water, raccoons habitually catch fish, shellfish, reptiles, and amphibians. Raccoons & Garbage Raccoons that invade homes and lawns typically target trash cans and forage for leftovers. The animals are actually notorious for picking through garbage bins and landfills, making messes and earning their status as pests. If food is scarce or homeowners have used tight-fitting lids on trash bins to combat raccoon infestations, the critters may break into homes in search of easy-to-reach pet and human foods. Gardeners also occasionally deal with raccoon problems, as the animals gladly eat corn, fruits, and other vegetables commonly grown in gardens.

Due to the deliberate introduction of the raccoon into other countries, the common raccoon can also be found now in Europe and Japan. The average raccoon is around 70 cm from the raccoons nose to the tip of the raccoons tail. A fully grown raccoon can weigh up to 10kg and can live for up to 20 years in captivity. Raccoons in the wild however, tend to have a much lower life expectancy. The raccoon originally inhabited densely wooded areas and large forests but today the raccoon has adapted to living in mountainous and wetter habitats. The raccoon has also moved closer to human communities as the raccoons are able to find food very easily but many homeowners consider them to be pests. Raccoons are grey, omnivorous animals surviving on a diet consisting of insects, plants and small animals such as fish and the occasional bird. Raccoons tend to be nocturnal but it is not uncommon to spot a raccoon during the day. The most distinctive feature of the raccoon is the black mask found around the eyes of the raccoon."

These furry guys pop up seemingly everywhere, from farming sites to areas behind grocery stores. However, a couple other species of the mammals with the conspicuous black eye patches do exist, which are crab-eating raccoons (Procyon cancrivorus) and Cozumel raccoons (Procyon pygmaeus). Common Raccoon Life Span Common raccoons who live out in nature can survive for a maximum of 16 years in age. Despite that, the majority of common raccoons don't make it to 2 years old. In those who move past the juvenile stage, however, the typical life expectancy is around 5 years in age. Captive specimens have been as old as 21 years. Crab-Eating and Cozumel Raccoon Life Spans Crab-eating raccoons are Central and South American residents. As near kin to common raccoons, they share a lot of physical appearance. Cozumel raccoons of Mexico also have form and coloration like common raccoons'; however, they are significantly smaller and have proportionately thinner tails."

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has the following advice on certain health concerns linked to hunting, both in North America and in other areas of the world. This document is by no means intended to discourage people from hunting; instead, it is intended to inform hunters of the risks they face and steps they can take to reduce those risks. Hunters and their dogs can be exposed to infectious diseases not only from infected animals, but also via insect vectors and contaminated soil and water. Diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans, either through direct contact with the animal or a contaminated surface or water, through ingestion of animal products (including meat and milk) or through insect transmission from an animal are called zoonotic (pronounced ZO-oh-NOT-ik or zoo-NOT-ik) diseases. Insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, fleas or mites serve as vectors, capable of transmitting infection from an infected animal to another animal or a person."

The bulk of the state is farmland, and only about 20 percent is forest. Of that 20 percent, the majority is privately owned, leaving only a few state parks open to the public for outdoor adventures. With so much farmland, it's not surprise that the prairie dog is one of the most irritating creatures found in Indiana. The intelligent little mammal can create tunnel systems spreading for miles. These tunnels are not deep enough underground to support the weight of equipment or even large livestock. It's not uncommon for tractors to get stuck in fields because of collapsed prairie dog tunnels. Farmers must be diligent against this crop-eating animal. Another creature in Indiana that loves crops is the wild hog. The creatures stick mostly to forested areas, but they will destroy fields of plants in a matter of days."

It is quite common for raccoons to douse their food in water too, but the reason they do that is debatable. Are they washing their food, softening their food, moistening their food to make it easier to swallow, softening their paws in order to better feel their food, or are they simply playing in water?

"text": "\"Freezing temperatures and scarce food make winter a challenging time for most animals in the wild. Raccoons combat these challenges through a series of physical and behavioral adaptations that keep them fed and warm through the cold months. Their extremely adaptable behavior makes them well suited to challenging climates. Opportunistic Diet Raccoons are omnivores, gaining nutrients from plants, animals, eggs, insects and human items such as food from garbage cans and small livestock. This ability to use any food source serves these animals well in the winter when many types of food are scarce. They typically make up their winter diets with acorns, corn, fruit, insects, crippled waterfowl and small animals, although they will take advantage of any local food source that presents itself. Building Fat Stores Raccoons also combat starvation in the winter by building up fat stores in the summer and autumn months. Over the course of the winter, a raccoon may lose between 14 and 50 percent of his body weight depending on how far north he lives and the severity of the winter, making those extra pounds from summer essential to his survival. The fat builds mostly heavily in the tail, which may help the raccoon stay warm by wrapping it around himself in the cold. Warm Dens Raccoons also seek out warm dens in the winter to help protect them from the elements."

Most people are not aware of how destructive a mother raccoon can be when she digs through a roof and then has her pups in your attic!During winter or early in the springtime, a female raccoon will be looking for a den where she can raise her young. If she finds a weakness in an overlapping roofline or a missing screen, she will move in and set up housekeeping. In an attic, raccoons are extremely destructive and they can be very dangerous while they protect their young. The time to chase one out is before she has a litter. Contact us if you see a raccoon on your roof or under a shed this winter. If you have a raised foundation, check your sub area vents and make certain that the access is securely sealed. It is often very difficult to find and remove a family of raccoons from an attic or a sub area. Do not enter any enclosed area with a mother raccoon! It can be very dangerous."

"text": "Raccoons are intriguing creatures, with their mischievous masks and agile hands. It's hard to avoid seeing raccoons, as their habitat has expanded over time. If you don't want them poking about your home, secure your trash cans and limit access to any food, including your garden, in your yard. Geography Raccoons are plentiful throughout most of North America, though you won't see them in parts of the Rocky Mountains and some southwestern states. They extend up into Canada, down into Mexico and in the northern region of South America. Successful introductions elsewhere in the world, such as Russia, Japan and Germany, have extended their reach globally. Evolving Habitat Once upon a time these creatures foraged along tropical riverbanks. They expanded their habitat by moving north and adapting to whatever territory suited them. Clever critters, they learned to take refuge in barns to stay warm in cold northern winters. As their natural habitat shrinks, they've adapted to urban living, and there aren't many places off limits to them."

They have a nice big coop, a enclosed run that is 12 feet by 4 feet, plenty of water and food (pellets for layers), lots of snacks including yogurt, cat food, cooked rice, cheese bits, bread etc. They seem happy and healthy, certainly no big clucking episodes like they had while laying eggs. They are allowed to roam the yard for a couple hours every other day (have many wild raccoons so have to watch closely)."

The North American Badger ( Taxidea taxus subspecies jacksoni)The badger is a solitary and nomadic carnivore Though occasionally active during the day, they are primarily nocturnal Badgers don't hibernate, but may remain in their burrows for days or weeks at a time during the winter The North American Badger ( Taxidea taxus) is a medium-sized carnivore in the weasel family. They are stocky animals, with short black legs and a wide body. They generally weigh between 7 kg (15 lb) and 11 kg (25 lb), with males being larger than females. Their coat is a grizzled grey to tawny brown (with other colours mixed in) while their head shows distinctive black and white markings that generally run vertically from nose to neck. They are solitary and nomadic animals that wander over extremely large home ranges. They use their powerful front legs and long claws to dig burrows for shelter and protection, as well as for hunting their prey. Throughout each badger's home range, it may have hundreds of unique burrows that it, as well as other badgers and even other species, may use."

"text": "\"Raccoon Facts & Raccoon Information Raccoons, aka \"\"masked bandits\"\" are revered for their intelligence and ingenuity. They have very nimble and manipulative paws and are very strong. These characteristics provide them with the necessary tools to damage and destroy property in their efforts to survive in urban environments. The following are some more raccoon facts and raccoon information for Vancouver homeowners: Habitat Urban: Although the wild raccoon lives a largely solitary life, the attraction to urban areas can cause them to much more densely populate. A density of 10 - 25 raccoons per square kilometer has been observed. They will build their dens in chimneys, attics, roofs, crawl spaces, under decks and sheds. Breeding Once per year: Male raccoons will attempt to mate with multiple partners each season whereas the female will mate with only one male, avoiding all others afterwards. Mating occurs during the winter months but can continue until June. This prolonged mating season makes it essential for wildlife technicians to detect if there are any babies present during the initial assessment. Offspring are born about 9 weeks after mating."

Due to the deliberate introduction of the raccoon into other countries, the common raccoon can also be found now in Europe and Japan. The average raccoon is around 70 cm from the raccoons nose to the tip of the raccoons tail. A fully grown raccoon can weigh up to 10kg and can live for up to 20 years in captivity. Raccoons in the wild however, tend to have a much lower life expectancy. The raccoon originally inhabited densely wooded areas and large forests but today the raccoon has adapted to living in mountainous and wetter habitats. The raccoon has also moved closer to human communities as the raccoons are able to find food very easily but many homeowners consider them to be pests. Raccoons are grey, omnivorous animals surviving on a diet consisting of insects, plants and small animals such as fish and the occasional bird. Raccoons tend to be nocturnal but it is not uncommon to spot a raccoon during the day. The most distinctive feature of the raccoon is the black mask found around the eyes of the raccoon."

In general, the mating season last from about January to March, peaking in February. In the most northerly areas the mating season starts later, in February, and peaks in March, but is prolonged until June. In the southeastern states mating also generally starts relatively late and may continue into the summer, while in Florida it may start as early as December. The mating season may be prolonged in some females that return to oestrus after failing to give birth or after losing a litter soon after parturition. In South Carolina, Florida and Alabama some litters may be born in any month. The raccoon breeding cycle is influenced by photoperiod; if exposed to artificially long daylight hours, raccoons may become ready to breed as much as two to four months early. OESTRUS/OVULATION: Prior to oestrus , the female's vulva swells and reddens; she becomes receptive to mating about one to two weeks later, for three to six days, and the vulva resumes its normal appearance about three to four weeks after this."

Skunks, Raccoons, Opossum Striped Skunk- Mephitis mephitis; Western Spotted Skunk- Spilogale gracilis , Eastern spotted skunk- Spilogale putorius Skunks are best known for their ability to secrete a liquid with a strong, foul- smelling odor. General appearance ranges from species to species, from black-and-white to brown or cream colored. Skunks were classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes ferrets,weasels, otters, badgers, and relatives. However, recent genetic evidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought; they are now classified in their own family. Skunk species vary in size from about 15.6 to 37 inches and in weight from about 1.1 pounds (the spotted skunks) to 18 pounds (the hog-nosed skunks ). They have a moderately elongated body with relatively short, well-muscled legs, and long front claws for digging. Although the most common fur color is black and white, some skunks are brown or gray, and a few are cream-colored. All skunks are striped, even from birth. They may have a single thick stripe across back and tail, two thinner stripes, or a series of white spots and broken stripes (in the case of the spotted skunk)."

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. If chicks are missing but no other signs of disturbance exist, the culprit may be a snake, a rat, a raccoon, or a house cat."

Raccoon Geography Raccoons are natively found throughout most of North America. Recently, raccoons have emerged in parts of Europe and Japan. Raccoon Habitat Traditionally, raccoons prefer heavily wooded areas with access to trees, water and abundant vegetation. There, they make their dens in the hollow parts of trees as well as abandoned burrows, traveling up to 18 miles to forage for food. Raccoons are extremely adaptable. They are often found in suburban and urban areas, making their homes in man-made structures like attics, sewers, barns and sheds. In urban areas, raccoons tend to stay closer to their dens with a range of only about 1 mile, depending on their age and sex.

He decides to run away to his great-grandfather's abandoned farm in the Catskill Mountains to live in the wilderness. The reader meets Frightful, Sam's pet peregrine falcon, and The Baron, a weasel that Sam befriends. Roughly the first 80 percent of the novel is Sam's reminiscences during a snowstorm about how he came to be in a home made out of a hollowed-out tree, while the remainder of the novel is a traditional linear narrative about what happens after the snowstorm."

"text": "Home »Produce What Garden Plants Do Rabbits Eat? By Jay Golberg; Updated September 21, 2017Rabbits eat many garden plants when the plants are young, tender and vulnerable to damage. They usually work under the cover of darkness. All categories of plants are eaten by rabbits, including perennials, annuals, shrubs, tree seedlings, grasses, fruits and vegetables. The best way to avoid rabbit damage in the garden is to fence off the area where rabbits do the most damage. Snapdragon Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is an annual plant that produces colorful flowers. It grows and blooms in cool weather when most plants are dormant. Because it may be one of the few plants that are green in the winter landscape, it can be attractive to rabbits as a source of food. Black-Eyed Susan Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a perennial flower that begins to grow in the fall. It produces a small rosette that remains tender throughout the winter and then begins to grow in the spring."

About 6% of Americans have been exposed to the roundworms that cause this disease, with highest rates of infection in the southeastern United States and Puerto Rico. Up to 20% of Dutch people, up to 39% of Czechs, 40% of Brazilians, and 90% of Nepalese carry antibodies formed after exposure to the parasites. Two alarming cases were reported in Canada in early 2012. A bouncing baby boy in Hamilton, Ontario, developed seizures at the age of five months. By the age of fourteen months he was legally blind and suffered profound neurological issues. His parents told doctors that their yard was infested with raccoons, but that he was not allowed to play outside. When public officials determined that raccoon feces found in the yard was infected with roundworm eggs, they concluded that the raccoon parasite had been brought into the house on the fur of the dog. An elderly woman in Vancouver died of complications of a condition her doctors had diagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease. Autopsy found that her brain had several visible roundworm larvae."

As you might imagine, this makes for a variety of interesting creatures both land-loving and aquatic. In fact, Florida is so appealing to animals, species not native to the state have been able to move in and thrive. The perfect examples of this are the Burmese Python and the red-tail boa constrictors. These snakes are not native to North America, but so many were released of escape into the Florida wild that a breeding population was spotted in The Everglades. This is not necessarily a good thing, as many native creatures-raccoons and small mammals in particular-have begun to vanish from that region of the state. Not even a smaller alligator can always withstand an attack from the Burmese Python. Alligators are used to being at the top of the food chain, and because of this the large reptiles are often nuisances around homes, where people fear attacks on themselves and pets. Particularly dangerous are alligators over 8 feet, during the mating season in May. Florida's suburbs are often surrounded by water, and alligators make good use of the man-made channels and canals around the region. Another problematic reptile is the iguana, which is significantly smaller than the alligator but large enough in its own right."

Many dogs instinctively chase raccoons. The raccoon will normaly run for a high spot to get away, like a tree or a fence. But in the event that a raccoon doesnt make it that far before the dog catches up, it will hold on with its front paws and use its strong back legs and sharp claws to disembowel the attacker. In the event that a raccoon goes in your direction, it is best that you back away. This isn't normal raccoon behavior. It may be that it feels that you are threatening its young, or worse yet, it may be sick. Don't wait around to find out."

Raccoons prefer forest areas near a stream or water source, but have adapted to various environments throughout Washington. Raccoon populations can get quite large in urban areas, owing to hunting and trapping restrictions, few predators, and human-supplied food. Adult raccoons weigh 15 to 40 pounds, their weight being a result of genetics, age, available food, and habitat location."

"text": "\"North American Common Raccoon Posted on May 29, 2012 by Tyler Procyon Lotor As observed and studied on the Evergreen State College campus and in the Evergreen Forest The North American Common Raccoon, also referred to as the North American Raccoon, Common Raccoon, Northern Raccoon, or colloquially as coon is a mammal species originally native to the North American continent. The Raccoon is the largest of the procyonidae family, a family within the suborder caniformia, that consists of nocturnal, ring-tailed, plantigrade placental mammals. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Procyonidae Genus: Procyon Species: Procyon Lotor (1) click for larger view (2) click for larger view On the left is an evolutionary tree showing the development of the Procyonidea family. It illustrates how the Carnivora family branched out into the cat and dog sides, with the dog side splitting into three smaller families, one of which was the Mustelidae, from which the Procyonidae latter grew out of. The tree to the right shows a more detailed break-down of the Procyonidae family and how it developed and split into distinct species, including the raccoon. Distribution The Raccoon is originally native to North American and at present there are 26 different types of raccoons living across the North American continent, ranging from Canada to Panama. However, while the raccoon may have been native to North America it has since spread across the world. Raccoon populations have been recorded existing throughout countries in Europe (the largest abundance being located in Germany) as well as around the western end of Russia and parts of China and Japan. The spread of the raccoon across the Atlantic began as early as Columbus’ voyage to the Americas and continued in the centuries to follow. The explorers saw the local raccoons and thought they would either make interesting pets or be useful for later scientific study, but when they brought the raccoons back to their home countries in Europe most of the raccoons escaped easily and began spreading across the new territory."

Here is an A to Z guide to the deadly diseases your pets can catch from pests—with suggestions for disease prevention. Distemper Distemper kills more dogs than any other disease. About 5 to 15 days after a dog is exposed to the distemper virus, it develops a runny noses, mucus-filled eyes, and general lack of appetite and energy. Thick, gooey, yellow mucus are the classic signs of distemper and sign that you need to take your dog to the vet right away. Distemper may also cause diarrhea, dry cough, and blisters on the dog’s stomach. If your dog has a healthy immune system, he or she may survive the first stage of distemper and go on to lead a healthy life. If your dog has an overactive immune system, however, several months later immune reactions to the virus may affect the brain, causing drooling, slobbering, and seizures. The dog may also develop redness and inflammation around the eyes, pneumonia, and thickened paw pads."

Kern Jr. 2Biology The northern raccoon, Procyon lotor, is the species in North and Central America, and the related crab-eating raccoon, Procyon cancrivorus, occurs from Panama to Argentina. They are in the family Procyonidae along with the coati mundi, kinkajou, ringtail, and olingo. Raccoons are found commonly in every one of the lower 48 states, in much of southern Canada, and throughout Mexico and Central America. Raccoons are very adaptable animals and thrive in all kinds of habitats from the desert southwest to tropical forests and northern hardwoods. Unlike many wildlife species, raccoons do especially well in urban areas. The northern raccoon, Procyon lotor, is known in many parts of the world. This is one animal that most people are well-acquainted with wherever it occurs because of its large size, abundance, ecological success, and often its nuisance behaviors. It is usually just called raccoon or \"\"coon\"\" in English; malpache norteno, malpache boreal, malpachin, osito lavador in Spanish; and guaxinim in Portuguese. In native American languages they are called tzil (Mayan), mapachitli (Aztec), kvtli (Cherokee or Tsalagi), ati:ron (Mohawk), esiban (Algonquin), eehsipana (Miami-Illinois), nahënëm (Lenape Delaware), sawa (Alabama), sawá (Koasati), shaui (Choctaw), shawi' (Chickasaw), and wotko (Muskogee). In areas it has colonized in Eurasia it is called waschbär (German), wasbeer (Dutch), orsetto lavatore (Italian), araiguma (アライグマ) (Japanese), raton laveur (French), tvättbjörn (Swedish), pesukarhu (Finnish), and mosómedve (Hungarian)."

However, they are frequently found smack dab in the middle of towns and cities too. This is due primarily to the fact that they are extremely adept at dumpster diving. Being omnivorous, they do not care what they eat. They like fruit, meat, veggies, fish, bugs, lo mein, Jello, Slim Jims, and just about anything else they can get their adorably dexterous little paws on. If it’s edible and you toss it in the garbage, they’ll eat it. Movies often portray raccoons as smart, curious, and cute as the dickens.

Because raccoons can easily climb trees and remove barriers you may have put in place, such as netting, it can be difficult to harvest oranges for yourself before the raccoons get to them. You still have some ways to deter the raccoons from eating your oranges. Raccoon Evidence Raccoons have dexterous front and back feet that allow them to climb trees and move or break through barriers. They can also peel the orange as a human would.

"text": "\"In the sense of performing as designed, most radar detectors do detect the presence of police radar in the immediate vicinity of a speeding vehicle. Whether or not that information will actually prevent a driver from receiving a speeding ticket remains to be seen, however. The problem does not lie with the detecting devices themselves, but the technology used by law enforcement officers to determine if a driver has committed a violation. IN the US, early police radar units used one of two radio bandwidths assigned by the FCC, the X band and the K band. In order to be most effective, police radar units would have to transmit a constant signal in one of those two bandwidths. Radar detectors contained powerful antennas that could pick up the signal from an active police radar gun long before the vehicle came into range of the officer. The X band could almost always be detected from a distance, but the K band was much more difficult to detect. Only the best detectors on the market could warn against K band police radar. Ad The basic point behind these devices is for a speeding driver to receive a warning before driving into an area where police radar is in use. This information is only useful if the driver has enough time to slow his or her vehicle to a legal rate of speed."

However, almost all of us speed, and that sick pleasure can turn sickening when you get lit up by a police cruiser. So you're probably wondering whether radar detectors are legal. If you do a lot of driving, you may have thought at some point to get a radar detector. And with radar detector apps being developed for your smartphone, it's now easier than ever to get such a device. However, before installing a radar detector in your car or phone, you should know that it may be illegal for you to drive with a radar detector. Radar detector laws vary by state Generally, radar detector laws for personal vehicles are state specific. So there is no universal answer to whether radar detectors are legal. Some jurisdictions have flat-out prohibitions from using radar detectors like in Virginia and the District of Columbia."

The platform on which a particular sensor is housed determines a number of attributes, which may dictate the use of particular sensors. These attributes include: distance the sensor is from the object of interest, periodicity of image acquisition, timing of image acquisition, and location and extent of coverage. There are three broad categories of remote sensing platforms: ground based, airborne, and satellite.3.1.1 Ground based -- A wide variety of ground based platforms are used in remote sensing. Some of the more common ones are hand held devices, tripods, towers and cranes. Instruments that are ground-based are often used to measure the quantity and quality of light coming from the sun or for close range characterization of objects. For example, to study properties of a single plant or a small patch of grass, it would make sense to use a ground based instrument. Laboratory instruments are used almost exclusively for research, sensor calibration, and quality control. Much of what is learned from laboratory work is used to understand how remote sensing can be better utilized to identify different materials. This contributes to the development of new sensors that improve on existing technologies."

"text": "How Radar Detectors Work Radar detectors are small devices that help identify the presence of radars, such as those used by police to locate cars driving over the speed-limit. Certain types of radar detectors also identify the presence of laser-speed guns, which may be useful for those looking to avoid speed traps that traditional radar detectors may miss. In order to understand how exactly a radar detector works, it’s helpful to understand the manner in which basic radars operate. Radars are frequently used to identify distance and speed, such as how far away an object is or how fast it is moving. A radar device emits a radio wave, which moves at the speed of light, and bounces back to the radar device when it encounters an object in its path. Based on how long it takes for the radio wave to hit the designated object (for example, a tree at an undetermined distance) and how long it takes the wave to bounce back, the radar device can figure out the distance between the device and the tree. When a radar is used to detect speed (for example, the rate at which a car is moving), the radio wave frequency of the returned signal is altered because the car is moving. If the car is moving toward the radar device, the return signal has a shorter distance to travel and the radio wave frequency increases. The radar device can then use the change in frequency to determine the speed at which the car is moving. In laser-speed guns, waves of light are used in place of radio waves."

P olice radar operates by transmitting radio waves at a fixed frequency. A portion of the beam reflects from a target vehicle and returns to the radar. If the target is moving, a slight change in frequency occurs (Doppler shift). The radar does the heavy math and calculates target speed. The picture gets more complicated if both radar vehicle and target are moving, the task for which moving radar was created in the early seventies by some very clever boffins at industry heavyweight Kustom Signals. How Radar is Used Two types of radar are used—stationary and moving. Stationary radar must be used from a static site, typically a patrol car parked alongside the road."

And all scientific study of the atmosphere means above all collecting accurate weather data. Our senses and especially the sight and touch enable us to estimate a large number of observations. For example, we can see the amount of clouds in the sky or determine wind direction by the movement of leaves or a column of smoke. All these observations are called sensory observations. However, our senses are not enough and we have to resort to the meteorological instruments to collect the valuable data. For example, while a person can determine if the air pressure is rising or falling, you cannot know the exact value of it, for which you need to consult an instrument. In this case, the observations are called instrumental observations. Some of the instruments can be incorporated in professional or home weather stations and other are used as separate meteorological devices.

"text": "\"How to choose a radar detector What to look for in a radar detectorby Crutchfield's Robert Ferency-Viars10 commentsshare div With the right radar detector in your vehicle, you’ll know when radar enforcement is nearby before you’re in their sights. Radar detectors offer peace of mind The freedom to relax and drive with confidence — that's what an investment in a radar detector can give you. Today's models combine simple, ergonomic design with up-to-the-minute technology, including GPS, Bluetooth® compatibility, and smartphone integration. They can offer you affordable, convenient protection, not only from speeding tickets but often from driving hazards as well. The key to choosing the right detector is understanding how they work and what the different options do. Then you'll be able to determine which one meets your needs. Types of detectors There are three types of radar detector: corded, cordless, and remote-mount. Corded detectors usually mount on the windshield via suction cups, and provide the best range of detection. Cordless detectors are transported easily between vehicles, and provide a cleaner installation than corded models. Remote-mount detectors are permanently mounted to your vehicle, providing a clean installation that's virtually undetectable by thieves."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Law Enforcement & Police Minnesota Speeding Ticket? How much will a ticket for going 51 in a 40 cost in Minnesota? And are there good strategies of beating speeding tickets?1 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Not sure how much it would cost in Minnesota but probably in the triple digits. Here are two strategies: If you ticket was issued by a municipality that has 1,000 or more citizens or is located on an interstate you can beat this one. Number one- ALWAYS PLEAD NOT GUILTY! Even if you know you are guilty. All burden of proof is on the prosecution. By pleading not guilty you will have the right to speak with a city attorney prior to speaking with the judge. At this point you can negotiate a lowered price, probation with no classes etc.. or even have it reduced to a parking ticket. Profess your innocence and politely suggest, not threatening, that you would like jury trial if it goes any farther because you are innocent."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator. Automatic gain control ( AGC ), also called automatic volume control (AVC), is a closed-loop feedback regulating circuit, the purpose of which is to provide a controlled signal amplitude at its output, despite variation of the amplitude in the input signal. The average or peak output signal level is used to dynamically adjust the input-to-output gain to a suitable value, enabling the circuit to work satisfactorily with a greater range of input signal levels. It is used in most radio receivers to equalise the average volume ( loudness) of different radio stations due to differences in received signal strength, as well as variations in a single station's radio signal due to fading. Without AGC the sound emitted from an AM radio receiver would vary to an extreme extent from a weak to a strong signal; the AGC effectively reduces the volume if the signal is strong and raises it when it is weaker. AGC is derived from detector and given to RF and IF stages.

This is fed to the RF gain blocks to alter their bias, thus altering their gain. Traditionally all the gain-controlled stages came before the signal detection, but it is also possible to improve gain control by adding a gain-controlled stage after signal detection. Example use cases [ edit]AM radio receivers [ edit]In 1925, Harold Alden Wheeler invented automatic volume control (AVC) and obtained a patent."

You don’t have to be a serial speeder to consider having a radar detector in your car. Even careful drivers occasionally find themselves driving over the speed limit. Radar detectors for your car keep you informed of who else is on the road, including police and other emergency vehicles. Many radar detectors also show you where red lights and speed cameras are located so you can adjust your driving accordingly. At this time, radar detectors are allowed in most areas, not including Washington, D. C., Virginia and on military bases, where they are illegal to use and not available for purchase. Several states also limit the use of detectors in commercial vehicles."

Stealth in combination with a Lidar detector will save you at long range. If they are targeting cars at 1000 feet, and your car has reduced reflectivity, they don't get a speed reading until you come into range. Your detector goes off and you have time to slow down. At short range, if they point the gun at your license plate and you have a stealth plate cover, your detector goes off, and you have time to slow before they retarget another part of your car.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Radar detectors)navigation search For the song by Darwin Deez, see Radar Detector. An early radar detector Car radar detector (Japanese)A radar detector is an electronic device used by motorists to detect if their speed is being monitored by police or law enforcement using a radar gun. Most radar detectors are used so the driver can reduce the car's speed before being ticketed for speeding. In general sense, only emitting technologies, like doppler RADAR, or LIDAR can be detected. Visual speed estimating techniques, like ANPR or VASCAR can not be detected in daytime, but technically vulnerable to detection at night, when IR spotlight is used. There are no reports that piezo sensors, can be detected. LIDAR devices require an optical-band sensor, although many modern detectors include LIDAR sensors. Most of today's radar detectors detect signals across a variety of wavelength bands: usually X, K, and K a. In Europe the K u band is common as well. The past success of radar detectors was based on the fact that radio-wave beam can not be narrow-enough, so the detector usually senses stray and scattered radiation, giving the driver time to slow down. Based on focused laser-beam, LIDAR technology is deprived of this shortcoming; however requires precise aiming."

What is police laser (aka police lidar)? Before we discuss how you can protect yourself from police laser traffic enforcement, let’s first describe what it is. LIDAR is an acronym for LI ght D etection A nd R anging. A police laser (i.e., police lidar) gun emits a highly focused beam of invisible infrared light in the near infrared region of light that is centered at a wavelength of 904nm and is only about 22 inches (56cm) in diameter at 1000 feet (300m). Are police laser guns accurate? Police laser is very accurate and can often determine you speed to the 10th of miles per hour. Unlike police radar which directly determines a vehicle’s speed by measuring its doppler (speed induced frequency) shift, police lidar calculates speed by observing the changing amount of time is takes to “see” a series of reflected pulses of light over a discreet period of time. Police laser was first introduced as a traffic enforcement tool in the early 1990s as a better alternative to police radar and offers police departments inherent advantages, namely: Precise targeting of vehicles out of a busy roadway Difficult detection by motorists Farther operating range Higher conviction rates Today’s fifth generation police lasers provide superior construction quality with improved optics, circuitry, and speed detection algorithms that are far more advanced and are proving to be especially lethal to drivers on the roadways, including those who use laser jammers. Can police laser be used at night?"

These waves pass through you harmlessly. The amount of energy imparted to your body by the waves from the radar gun is less than the emissions from your cell phone and considerably farther away from your body. The fact is that you are bombarded by radio waves from numerous sources continually. While there hasnt been a lot of research studying how this affects living organisms long term, I would venture to say that you can probably find a lot of other things to worry about that are far more likely to cause you injury in the long term.

"text": "Eye Exercises for Eye Health Eye exercises have always been considered to be beneficial in some way for vision and eye health. After all, there are many muscles around and within the eyeball, all of which have important functions. The main muscle groups for the eye are the ciliary muscles, iris sphincter muscles and extraocular muscles. The ciliary muscles are involved in changing the shape of the lens, which allows you to focus light on your retina to be able to see. When you look at distance objects, your lens becomes more stretched out and less convex. When you look at near objects, such as for reading, your lens becomes thicker and more convex. Without the ciliary muscles, all this would not be possible. ( Image adapted from the internet)The ciliary muscles are able to change the shape of the natural lens due to their attachment to the lens via the suspensory ligaments and zonules. As you grow older, your ciliary muscles become weaker and the lens becomes more rigid and less able to change shape. As a result, your ability to read and see close up becomes diminished."

Both radial tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome are not as well-known as their relative, carpal tunnel syndrome. The difference is that cubital tunnel and carpal tunnel are characterized by weakness of the arm and hand muscles, tingling, numbness, and pain. Radial tunnel syndrome is mostly characterized by weakness of the arm and hand muscles. These syndromes are alike in that the common cause of all three of them is increased pressure on the nerves located in the wrist, elbow, or arm. This pressure typically occurs when bone is pressing on, or trapping, connective tissue. Most of the time, radial tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes can easily be dealt with by using some of the more conservative treatments. However, as with carpal tunnel, in the more extreme cases, surgery will be required in order to reduce pressure on the nerve that is being affected. Causes and Symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome The condition of cubital tunnel syndrome is also known as ulnar neuropathy and is a result of an increase in pressure on the ulnar nerve, which passes closely to the surface of the skin around the area of the elbow that is often referred to as your “funny bone."

"text": "How we see Light is essential to our vision. It bounces off of all the objects that we look at. We see when light reflects from different objects around us passes through the cornea and enters the eye via the pupil. The light, which has already been refracted by the cornea, is then directed towards the retina, at the back of the eye, by the lens where it forms a clear image. Due to the laws of optics, the image formed on the retina is actually upside-down. The millions of specialised light detecting cells that make up the retina detect the upside-down image. These cells, known as rods and cones, then transform the image into electrical impulses, which are transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. Once these impulses reach the brain they are processed and adjusted, which makes the image appear the correct way up and enable us to see our surroundings as they actually appear. Click here for a Glossary of Terms How light enters the eye It is important that the correct amount of light enters the eye. If too much light is let into the eye retinal damage could occur."

The shape of the lens can be changed by the ciliary muscles so that the image always comes to a sharp focus at the retina. The iris reflex The eye needs to be able to control the amount of light entering it. In dim conditions, more light is allowed to enter so that a clear image can be formed on the retina. In bright conditions less light is allowed to enter so that the retina is not damaged. This adjustment is done by two sets of muscles in the iris: its circular muscles contract to close up the iris, making the pupil smaller - while its radial muscles contract to open up the iris, making the pupil larger. You can see how this reflex action works in the animation. Accommodation The ability of the lens to change its shape to focus near and distant objects is called accommodation.

Radiation therapists work with the radiation technology used in hospitals, cancer centers, and other health care facilities. This technology is not limited to only equipment that treats disease, but also includes diagnostic radiation equipment as well, such as fluoroscopy, CT scanning machines, and x-ray films, according to the Mayo School of Health Sciences. These diagnostic readings help the radiation oncology team, which the radiation therapists work under, to develop a treatment strategy. Radiation therapy can be used alone or as part of a combination treatment with chemotherapy or surgery. Radiation therapists follow the directions of the oncology team in utilizing the equipment for treatment. They are also responsible for the patientís comfort during treatment, carefully monitoring the patient’s state for the entire duration of radiation treatments. In addition, therapists keep detailed records of each patient’s treatment regime and results so that the oncology team may best assess how the treatment is progressing.

In any case, a salary of over $100,000 a year is an amount of money that can solve many problems and its why many of us set it as a goal. So, what job should I do to make over 100k? Most of us know that lawyers and doctors, for instance, can make over $100,000 a year. However, such professionals earn this salary only after numerous years of schooling and practice in their respective fields. On the other hand, there are a number of jobs in which you can earn $100,000 or more per year, but which do not require extensive schooling and which do not have high barriers to entry. Here is a list of five such jobs:1. Financial Advisor If you are a good communicator and feel comfortable managing money, you will be more likely to have a good career as a financial advisor.

The basic premise is that physical therapists must be able to identify signs and symptoms of systemic origin or associated with medical conditions that can mimic neuromuscular or musculoskeletal (neuromusculoskeletal [NMS]) impairment in these areas. In the screening process, therapists will watch for yellow (caution) or red (warning) flags to direct them. Clinicians rely on special questions to ask men and women with significant risk factors, significant past medical history, suspicious clinical presentation, or associated signs and symptoms. With a careful interview and the right screening questions, the therapist can identify clues suggestive of a problem outside the scope of a physical therapist’s practice that may require medical referral. Specific tests to screen for an underlying infectious or inflammatory source of pelvic or abdominal pain are also presented with a suggested order of testing. When dealing with painful symptoms of the sacral and pelvic areas, the therapist may need to ask questions about sexual history or sexual practices. The therapist must remain aware of facial expressions, body language, and verbal remarks in response to a client’s answers to these questions. The therapist must be prepared to respond in a professional and responsible way if a man or woman with pelvic or sacral pain reports that he or she has been the victim of repeated violent sexual acts, or if a client admits to physical or emotional assault. More about the client interview, the screening interview, and screening for assault and domestic (intimate partner) violence is included in Chapter 2 (see also Appendices B-3 and B-32)."

Radiation therapy does not kill cancer cells right away. It takes days or weeks of treatment before DNA is damaged enough for cancer cells to die.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs in healthcare are expected to grow at an astonishing rate of 23% job growth over the next decade, with an estimated 974,000 new jobs expected. This rapid growth is due, in part, to greater health insurance accessibility and the maturing of the large Baby Boomer population. Hospitals, health systems, private practices, long-term care facilities are looking to boost their services with qualified, licensed clinical and support (or ancillary) staff. Colleges and universities, recognizing the need to educate qualified clinicians and ancillary personnel, are increasingly offering online courses and degrees for those interested, or already employed, in healthcare. Online, accredited degrees, allow students to quickly move into the work force; and, provides currently employed clinicians or healthcare workers easier paths to advance their education to the next level. Most, but not all, healthcare careers can be attained through accredited, online education. Salary ranges for healthcare professions vary depending on the degree, area of study and licensure.

"text": "Questions You May Have About Radiation Therapy How does radiation therapy work? All cells in our body, including healthy and cancerous cells, grow and divide. However, cancer cells grow and divide more rapidly than many of the normal cells around them, making them more sensitive to radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses special equipment to deliver high doses of radiation to cancerous tumors, destroying the genetic material of the cells which kills or damages them so they cannot grow, multiply, or spread. Radiation may affect healthy cells; however, most normal cells appear to recover fully from the effects of the treatment. Unlike chemotherapy, which exposes the entire body to cancer-fighting chemicals, radiation therapy affects only the tumor and the surrounding area. How is radiation therapy given? Radiation therapy can be given externally or internally (called brachytherapy).

I certainly agreed with him while I sat on full plane in New Hampshire for an hour waiting for clearance on my way home from visiting our children and new grandbaby. Flying definitely isn’t fun anymore for me because I have lymphedema. No one explained it to me at the time, but I was at double risk for this condition that causes swelling because I had 24 lymph nodes removed when I had my mastectomy, and I had extensive radiation to my chest and lymph nodes. Sure enough about a year after my cancer treatment ended, one day I noticed that all the creases in my right wrist were gone. Wow Did I gain weight that fast? Nope, the creases were still there on the left wrist. The surgeon prescribed a compression sleeve to control the swelling. The sleeve was uncomfortable and didn’t help much, but I did get a little better. The next time I saw him, my surgeon told me about a new therapist on the other side of the city who specialized in lymphedema."

"text": "\"Crackles Heard on End-Inspiration These sounds are commonly, and INACCURATELY referred to by many as rales. End-inspiratory crackles are generally sharp and high-pitched, as they are occurring in the very small airways (bronchioles or terminal bronchioles) and/or in the air sacs (alveoli). They are the sound of the explosive \"\"popping-open\"\" of those collapsed lung parts when the patient is at the end of their inspiratory cycle. They often result from:atelectasis,congestive heart failure (CHF), orpulmonary fibrosis. ATELECTATIC crackles, as the name would suggest, are heard when a portion of the lung is collapsed and airless. They are relatively quiet, end-inspiratory crackles. They are often heard posteriorly:in supine, low-mobility patients (body-weight specific),at chest-tube sites, andwith restrictive disease processes, such as obesity, in patients with fractured ribs, or in women in later stages of pregnancy. After the patient takes many deep breaths, the loudness and the area over which the crackles were heard will generally decrease, and/or the breath sound will occur later in the inspiratory cycle. Incentive Spirometry (IS) or Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB) may be indicated for patients with atelectatic crackles. Instant Feedback: Atelectatic crackles often change characteristics after the patient takes many deep breaths."

"text": "Causes for Wheezing, Rales, Stridor Breath Sounds, Noisy Breathing Sound Whenever your lungs or airways are affected you may notice a noisy breathing sound. Common breathing and lung sounds are referred to as wheezing, rales or stridor. Wheezing is a high pitched sound that is often heard when you breathe out, or exhale. Yet, the sound of wheezing may be heard with an inhaled breath. Causes for wheezing include: TBGERDCOPDgoiterasthmasmokingtracheitisbronchitisepiglottitisbyssinosispneumoniasarcoidosislung cancerbronchiolitisangioedemaemphysemasclerodermaaspergillosisbronchiectasistracheobronchitispulmonary edemapulmonary fibrosisparainfluenza viruscoccidioidomycosispulmonary embolismaspiration pneumoniainterstitial lung diseaseupper airway obstructionrespiratory tract infectionrespiratory syncytial virus Wegener’s granulomatosisvascular ring, double aortic archfood, drug , insect bite/sting allergic reaction ~ anaphylaxis Seek immediate medical attention if your wheezing causes:cyanosisconfusionsignificant dyspneamental status changes And you’ll also need health care attention urgently if your wheezing is caused by a bite or drug related allergic reaction as well. Rales, aka crackles, are small clicking, bubbling or rattling inhalation breathing sounds in your lungs. Believed to be caused by air opening closed air spaces, rales may suggest you have lung tissue inflammation.

Pulmonary Edema Definition Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because theheart's left ventricle does not pump adequately. Description The build-up of fluid in the spaces outside the blood vessels of the lungs is called pulmonaryedema. Pulmonary edema is a common complication of heart disorders, and most cases of thecondition are associated with heart failure. Pulmonary edema can be a chronic condition, or it can develop suddenly and quickly become life threatening. The life-threatening type of pulmonaryedema occurs when a large amount of fluid suddenly shifts from the pulmonary blood vesselsinto the lung, due to lung problems, heart attack, trauma, or toxic chemicals. It can also be thefirst sign of coronary heart disease. In heart-related pulmonary edema, the heart's main chamber, the left ventricle, is weakened anddoes not function properly. The ventricle does not completely eject its contents, causing blood to back up and cardiac output to drop. The body responds by increasing blood pressure and fluidvolume to compensate for the reduced cardiac output."

"text": "Fluid in the Lungs – Causes and Treatment Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Fluid in the lungs is a broad term to describe two possible conditions that may give characteristic symptoms, like a bubbling sound in the lungs (rales) when breathing. The fluid accumulation may be inside the lung (pulmonary edema) or outside the lung (pleural effusion), in the space between the lung and chest wall. The term “fluid in the lungs” is also used to refer to mucus inside the lungs. Mucus or phlegm is a thick, sticky secretion while “lung water” is a thin fluid. Other fluid accumulation may be the result of blood or pus. The lungs are located in the thorax (chest) and lies on either side of the heart. Air travels through the air passages, which includes the nose, pharynx (throat), trachea (air pipe) and bronchi. The lung tissue is made of small air sacs, known as alveoli, which is thin and surrounded by blood capillaries. The structure of the respiratory system allows for an exchange of gases so that essential oxygen is taken into the body and waste products, along with gases, are excreted through the exhaled air. The lung is enclosed in an air tight pleural cavity, with a small pleural space separating the lung from the chest wall."

"text": "Breath sounds: Test your knowledge Oct 11 2016by Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNPBelow are the results of a recent nursing quiz about lung auscultation posted on our Twitter page. This revealed a need for clarification of common adventitious lung sounds and the commonly associated clinical conditions. Answer: B. Crackles are heard when collapsed or stiff alveoli snap open, as in pulmonary fibrosis. Wheezes are commonly associated with asthma and diminished breath sounds with neuromuscular disease. Breath sounds will be decreased or absent over the area of a pneumothorax. First, let’s review the most common adventitious lung sounds. A wheeze is high-pitched continuous musical sound, which may occur during inspiration and/or expiration, due to an obstructive process. The classic wheeze may be referred to as “sibilant wheeze.” This refers to the high-pitched whistle-like sound heard during expiration, typically in the setting of asthma, as air moves through a narrow or obstructed airway. Alternately, what we often refer to as rhonchi is the “sonorous wheeze,” which refers to a deep, low-pitched rumbling or coarse sound as air moves through tracheal-bronchial passages in the presence of mucous or respiratory secretions."

For instance, crackles actually are rales, and the large amount of words can leave anyone’s head spinning. Knowing what to call what you hear on the other end of the stethoscope can tell you – and the doctor – quite a bit about a patient’s condition. Rhonchi What was once called rhonchi are now called a sonorous wheeze, and this is because they have a snoring, gurgling quality to them. Rhonchi are often a low-pitched moan that is more prominent on exhalation. It differs from wheezes in that wheezes are high and squeaky while these are low and dull. Rhonchi are caused by blockages to the main airways by mucous, lesions, or foreign bodies."

I too had those symptoms for years when I had hypoglycemia. I underwent cardiac tests (i was 25 at the time and exercised a lot) and pulmonary tests but those tests showed that my lungs and heart were in tiptop shape so the doctors couldn't explain what was causing it. I think the doctors thought it was all in my head. It wasn't asthma because I get asthma from cats and it is a totally different sensation. The doctors gave my asthma inhalers but they did no good. The sensation is like you're breathing as deep as you can but it's never a satisfying breath and only occasionnally will you be able to take a deep breath that is satisfying. Is that what you experienced dianajj? I have been having my hypoglycemic symptoms again as I wasn't watching my diet (palpitations, optic migraines, feeling of faintness, etc) and this sensation of suffocating. When I had the suffocation symptoms 15 years ago, it was before the internet became mainstream and I was never able to find an explanation - a correlation if you will between this difficulty breathing and low blood sugar."

Learn what pneumonia lung sounds mean and why you should seek help instead of ignoring this symptom. Pneumonia is normally a complication of another ailment, such as flu or influenza. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 7.3 percent of the reported deaths during the pandemic of the influenza A H1N1 virus in 2009 were due to pneumonia or influenza. Many symptoms of pneumonia mimic those of ordinary flu-like symptoms. This is why it is very important to recognize pneumonia lung sounds so that it can be treated immediately. Pneumonia is primarily caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Fungi and parasites can also cause pneumonia. When you contract pneumonia, your lungs become inflamed and you experience flu-like symptoms such as: Fever Shortness of breath Cough Fluctuating chest pains Fatigue Muscle pains Sweating and chills Seek Medical Help Most people do not realize they have pneumonia because of the symptoms.

Williams, MDDisclosures November 25, 2009In This Article Assessing Respiration Efficiency Chest Movement During Respiration Palpation Percussion Auscultation Identifying Specific Conditions Examining the Patient With Respiratory Distress Auscultation General Points Make sure that the listening area is quiet, and importantly, do not listen through the patient's clothing. Warm your stethoscope either by carrying it in your pants pocket or by vigorously rubbing it. One strategy is to place a rubber membrane on the bell and have the patient breath deeply with the mouth open. Make sure that your stethoscope bell is securely placed flat on the chest and that you are not breathing on your tubing. In fact, breathe on the tubing beforehand to appreciate the low-pitched rustling sound your breath produces. Be sure that your earpieces are securely in your ears to exclude environmental noise. Listen to at least 2 respiratory cycles at each location. All breath sounds should increase in pitch with inspiration and decrease with expiration. If patient has been intubated, listen for bilateral breath sounds and over the epigastric area to help determine the tube placement. Begin at the bases and work up the back."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 15 Main Dinosaur Types Share Flipboard Email Print DEA Picture Library / Art work by Robin Bouttellby Bob Strauss Updated October 18, 2017To date, scientists have identified thousands of individual dinosaur species, which can be roughly assigned to 15 major families—ranging from ankylosaurs (armored dinosaurs) to ceratopsians (horned, frilled dinosaurs) to ornithomimids (\"\"bird mimic\"\" dinosaurs). Below you'll find descriptions of these 15 main dinosaur types, complete with examples and links to additional information. ( See also a complete, A to Z list of dinosaurs . ) 01of 15Tyrannosaurs Mark Wilson/Newsmakers Tyrannosaurs were the killing machines of the late Cretaceous period: these huge, powerful carnivores were all legs, trunk, and teeth, and they preyed relentlessly on smaller, herbivorous dinosaurs (not to mention other theropods). Of course, the most famous tyrannosaur was Tyrannosaurus Rex, though less well-known genera (such as Albertosaurus and Daspletosaurus) were equally deadly. Technically, tyrannosaurs were theropods, placing them in the same larger group as dino-birds and raptors. See an in-depth article about tyrannosaur behavior and evolution and profiles of two dozen tyrannosaur dinosaurs02of 15Sauropods Nobu Tamura/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY 2.0Along with titanosaurs, sauropods were the true giants of the dinosaur family, some species attaining lengths of over 100 feet and weights of over 100 tons. Most sauropods were characterized by their extremely long necks and tails and thick, squat bodies; they were the dominant herbivores of the Jurassic period, though an armored branch (known as the titanosaurs) flourished during the Cretaceous. Among the most well-known sauropods were Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus and Diplodocus. See an in-depth article about sauropod evolution and behavior and a slideshow of more than 60 different sauropod dinosaurs03of 15Ceratopsians (Horned, Frilled Dinosaurs)Sergey Krasovskiy/Getty Images Among the oddest-looking dinosaurs that ever lived, ceratopsians--\"\"horned faces\"\"--included such familiar dinosaurs as Triceratops and Pentaceratops, and were characterized by their huge, frilled, horned skulls, which were one-third the size of their entire bodies."

A: All birds share aerodynamics of airplanes (actually it is airplanes that have \"\"learned\"\" their aerodynamic lessons from birds!). Bird wings are designed to achieve lift through differences in pressure as air moves over and under the wing. ( See \"\"Bernoulli's principle of flight. \"\") Birds, including eagles, also have hollow (yet very strong) bones to decrease total body weight and help in flight. Unlike many other birds, though, eagles are fairly heavy, bulky birds. Because of this, they need a lot of room and a lot of energy to take off, not unlike an airplane. They are not birds designed for quick flight and maneuvers. Rather, they really shine as soaring birds, using their large wings, once airborne, taking advantage of air currents and natural thermals, to float almost effortlessly at great heights and over long distances.

All regularly occur in Pennsylvania, but only the bald eagle and osprey nest here. The golden eagle migrates through the state on a pathway connecting its breeding and wintering territories. In the not so distant past, direct persecution and environmental contaminants drove eagle and osprey populations to catastrophically low levels. Protection at both state and federal levels, tremendous conservation efforts and improved waterway quality enabled them to rebound in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. While persecution and environmental contaminants continue to impact these large raptors, today's primary threats include loss of habitat due to land-use changes and declinling habitat quality. Taxonomists place bald and golden eagles in the same family as hawks, kites, harriers and Old World vultures – the family Accipitridae. The osprey is the only species of the family Pandionidae.

Several raptors or birds of prey – including the Cooper’s Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk, and Golden Eagle – use coniferous forest and woodlands for nesting and nesting materials, as well as for perching. Songbirds- birds such as the Bell’s Vireo, Solitary Vireo, Lewis’ Woodpecker, and Pigmy Nuthatch – use the forest and woodlands for nesting, food, and breeding habitats. What do they eat? Birds in the coniferous forest and woodlands have quite a selection of foods from which to choose their meals. Different birds seek food in the different layers of the forest, depending on what they like to eat. Insects, seeds, pinecones, small mammals, and worms are all featured in a coniferous forest or woodland bird’s diet.

The term raptor is derived from the Latin word rapere, meaning to seize or take by force. [ 1] Birds of prey have keen vision that allows them to detect their prey during flight, as well as powerful talons and beaks. Taken literally, the term bird of prey has a wide meaning that includes many birds that hunt and feed on animals and also birds that eat very small insects. [ 2]Ornithology has a narrower definition of bird of prey: a bird that has very good eyesight for finding food, strong feet for holding food, and a strong curved beak for tearing flesh. [ 3] Most birds of prey also have strong curved talons for catching or killing prey. [ 3] [4] An example of this difference in definition, the narrower definition excludes storks and gulls, which can eat quite large fish, partly because these birds catch and kill prey entirely with their beaks, [2] and similarly bird-eating skuas, fish-eating penguins, and vertebrate-eating kookaburras are excluded. Birds of prey generally prey on vertebrates, which are usually quite large relative to the size of the bird.

Since the early 1980s, the industry has known there is no way its propeller-style turbines could ever be safe for raptors. With exposed blade tips spinning in open space at speeds up to 200 mph, it was impossible. Wind developers also knew they would have a public relations nightmare if people ever learned how many eagles are actually being cut in half – or left with a smashed wing, to stumble around for days before dying. To hide this awful truth, strict wind farm operating guidelines were established – including high security, gag orders in leases and other agreements, and the prevention of accurate, meaningful mortality studies. For the industry this business plan has succeeded quite well in keeping a lid on the mortality problem. While the public has some understanding that birds are killed by wind turbines, it doesn’t have a clue about the real mortality numbers. And the industry gets rewarded with subsidies, and immunity from endangered species and other wildlife laws."

See Example ( s )EXAMPLES Collected via e-mail, May 2007RATINGFalse ORIGINThe above-displayed Power Point presentation entitled “The Rebirth of the Eagle” (or “The Story of the Eagle”) began hitting the snopes.com inbox in May 2007. The presentation explains, in a series of slides, that by the time an eagle reaches the age of 30 or so, its physical condition has deteriorated to the point that survival is difficult: its talons lose their flexibility and cannot properly grip prey, its beak becomes dull and bent, and its wing feathers grow thick and heavy, sticking to its chest and impairing its flight. The bird then retreats to a mountaintop, where over a five-month period it sequentially knocks off its beak by banging it against a rock, plucks out its talons, and then plucks out its feathers, each stage producing a regrowth of the removed body parts that “renews” the eagle and allows it to live for another 30 to 40 years. Although this tale may provide a vivid illustration of the philosophy (presented on the final slide) that sometimes one must shed the past in order to move forward (or, as often expressed, “In order to rebuild, you must first tear down”), it is merely a myth that strays far from the reality of an eagle’s life, according to the University of Minnesota’s Raptor Center: We have received quite a few e-mails regarding the “Eagle Rebirth” story recently. The story is quite far from what an eagle’s life truly consists of, but we would be happy to share with you the natural history of the Bald Eagle. Eagles would not typically “lose” their beak or talons, unless it was the result of a traumatic injury. The talons and beak are two of the three best defining features of what makes these birds “raptors”. Without the sharp talons for catching prey and the strong, sharp beak for tearing food, the raptor would certainly die of starvation. An eagle hatches with both a beak and talons and these will continue to grow throughout the bird’s life."

A rational number is a number that is reasonable An irrational number is a number that irritates you... : D Well don't be irritated, in algebra, A real number is any number (actually there are such an imaginary number, and complex number, these numbers are excluded!). It can be a whole number, an integer, a fraction, a decimal number, a rational number or an irrational number. A whole number is any number which is not a fraction or a decimal number, examples are 1, 2, 7, 89. It is always an integer (traditionally it refers only to positive, however there is an ambiguity if it includes the negative) and a rational number. An integer is any number which can be either positive and negative but not a fractional number. It is also a whole number. Examples are -1,256, -589, -1, 0, 1, 569, 5,236. It is always a rational number. A rational number is any number (either an integer or a fraction) which is can classified into three groups: *non-repeating and terminating* - can be an integer like 17, -253 or a fraction like 1/2 which is equal to 0.5, 1/4=0.25 (Hence, terminating - it ends) *repeating and terminating* - examples are 111.111, 233.3333, 0.555 *repeating and non-terminating - examples are 12.121212121212......, 7/9 which is equal to 0.777777777777777....... Remember an integer is always an rational number, but a rational number is not always an integer. An irrational number is a number that is non-repeating and non-terminating, a number which cannot be expressed in exact fraction, and most well known examples are the pi and square root of 2."

"text": "\"Home Reference Examples Examples of Irrational Numbers Examples of Irrational Numbers7th grade 8th grade 9th grade Middle School High School College An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal. Instead, the numbers in the decimal would go on forever, without repeating. Common Examples of Irrational Numbers Pi, which begins with 3.14, is one of the most common irrational numbers. Pi is determined by calculating the ratio of the circumference of a circle (the distance around the circle) to the diameter of that same circle (the distance across the circle). Pi has been calculated to over a quadrillion decimal places, but no pattern has ever been found; therefore it is an irrational number.e, also known as Euler’s number, is another common irrational number. The number is named for Leonard Euler, who first introduced e in 1731 in a letter he wrote; however, he had started using the number in 1727 or 1728. e is a universal number. The beginning of this number written out is 2.71828. e is the limit of (1 + 1/n)n as n approaches infinity. This expression is part of the discussion surrounding the subject of compound interest."

"text": "Instructor: Kimberlee Davison Kim has a Ph. D. in Education and has taught math courses at four colleges, in addition to teaching math to K-12 students in a variety of settings. Irrational numbers may not be crazy, but they do sometimes bend our minds a little. Learn about common irrational numbers, like the square root of 2 and pi, as well as a few others that businessmen, artists, and scientists find useful. What are Irrational Numbers? Outside of mathematics, we use the word 'irrational' to mean crazy or illogical; however, to a mathematician, irrational refers to a kind of number that cannot be written as a fraction (ratio) using only positive and negative counting numbers (integers). For example, you can write the rational number 2.11 as 211/100, but you cannot turn the irrational number 'square root of 2' into an exact fraction of any kind. Don't assume, however, that irrational numbers have nothing to do with insanity. Legend suggests that, around 500 B. C., a guy named Hippasus was thrown overboard from a ship by the Pythagoreans, a group of Greek philosophers, as punishment for proving that the square root of 2 is irrational. A mental trick you can use to help you visualize whether a number is rational or irrational is to think of the number in terms of cutting pizzas."

"text": "March 2014from Mid-Atlantic Geomancy Website If we want to talk with God/dess, experience has shown that it helps to be in the right environment. Spiritual seekers from Mayans through Christians, Native Americans, Egyptians and Hindus to the Neolithic builders of the stone rings in Britain and Ireland (and many more) found that by constructing their sacred places using certain geometrical ratios - just a small handful of them - they could more easily connect with their Maker. Yes, it is possible to speak with our Creator anytime. However, sacred geometry makes this easier, and different ratios make different connections easier. The ratios have to do with different spiritual activities like healing, foretelling the future, long-distance communication, levitation and, most important, heightened ability to communicate with our Maker. These ratios help us to vibrate at the appropriate frequency to aid us in accomplishing the particular spiritual activity we have in mind. Nearly every ancient archaeological site predating recorded history, from the Pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, to Stonehenge and beyond, employs mysterious mathematical alignments throughout their design. These architectural formulas, rarely used today, are considered sacred and have also been found in the way they're arranged relation to each other and, most inexplicably, in the Monuments of Cydonia, and the Face on Mars. When one looks at sacred enclosures globally, there is a group of five mathematical ratios that are found all over the world from Japan's pagodas to Mayan temples in the Yucatan, and from Stonehenge to the Great Pyramid. These ratios are: Square Root of Two = 1.414... Square Root of Three = 1.732... Square Root of Five = 2.236... Phi = 1.618... Phi is the Golden Section of the Greeks."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The mathematical constant pi (π) is an irrational number that is much represented in popular culture. The number is irrational. In mathematics, the irrational numbers are all the real numbers which are not rational numbers, the latter being the numbers constructed from ratios (or fractions) of integers. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is an irrational number, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning that they share no \"\"measure\"\" in common, that is, there is no length (\"\"the measure\"\"), no matter how short, that could be used to express the lengths of both of the two given segments as integer multiples of itself. Among irrational numbers are the ratio π of a circle's circumference to its diameter, Euler's number e, the golden ratio φ, and the square root of two; [1] [2] [3] in fact all square roots of natural numbers, other than of perfect squares, are irrational. It can be shown that irrational numbers, when expressed in a positional numeral system (e.g. as decimal numbers, or with any other natural basis), do not terminate, nor do they repeat, i.e., do not contain a subsequence of digits, the repetition of which makes up the tail of the representation. For example, the decimal representation of the number π starts with 3.14159, but no finite number of digits can represent π exactly, nor does it repeat. The proof that the decimal expansion of a rational number must terminate or repeat is distinct from the proof that a decimal expansion that terminates or repeats must be a rational number, and although elementary and not lengthy, both proofs take some work. Mathematicians do not generally take \"\"terminating or repeating\"\" to be the definition of the concept of rational number. Irrational numbers may also be dealt with via non-terminating continued fractions."

So, for example, 0.123123123123…, with 123 repeating forever, is rational (in fact, it is equal to 41/333), whereas something like 0.123456789101112131415…, which will never repeat, is irrational. But do you know why this is true? ( Despite what your teachers may have told you, the most important question in mathematics is not how, it is why !) Today I will show why every rational number has a terminating or eventually repeating decimal expansion, and in a future post I will show why every repeating or terminating decimal expansion represents a rational number. From these two pieces of information, of course, we can also deduce that every decimal expansion which doesn’t terminate or repeat must represent an irrational number, and vice versa. First, what is a decimal expansion? By convention, we use place notation to give each digit a value based on a negative power of ten. In particular, (Here’s an explanation of sigma notation if you don’t know what the means.)

"text": "An Introduction to Proof by Contradiction Stage: 4 and 5Article by Katherine Körner and Vicky Neale Published December 2005,February 2011. Key to all mathematics is the notion of proof. We wish to be able to say with absolute certainty that a property holds for all numbers or all cases, not just those we've tried, and not just because it sounds convincing or would be quite nice if it were so. Certain types of proof come up again and again in all areas of mathematics, one of which is proof by contradiction. To prove something by contradiction, we assume that what we want to prove is not true, and then show that the consequences of this are not possible. That is, the consequences contradict either what we have just assumed, or something we already know to be true (or, indeed, both) - we call this a contradiction. A simple example of this principle can be seen by considering Sally and her parking ticket. We know that if Sally did not pay her parking ticket, she would have got a nasty letter from the council. We also know that she did not get any nasty letters. Either she paid her parking ticket or she didn't, and if she didn't then, from our original information, we know that she would have got a nasty letter."

Follow 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Ravens The raven is common all over the world in a variety of habitats. Here in Montana, ravens can be found living anywhere from the highest mountain peaks to coniferous forests and even in people's backyards! Although they are frequently confused with crows, ravens differ in many ways. Ravens are much bigger than crows. Mature ravens stand 24 to 27 inches tall; crows only grow to a height of 17 inches. A raven's beak is larger and heavier than a crow's beak."

Flag What is the difference between a beaver and a muskrat? Answer by Atdog98 Confidence votes 90Both live near and in water however a beaver is much larger than a muskrat. An adult beaver typically weighs between 40 and 60 pounds. An adult muskrat typically weighs only 2 to 5 pounds. While a beaver has a broad flat tail a muskrat has a thinner more ratlike tail. The muskrat tail actually has some flatness, but vertical like a boat rudder. Muskrats do not cut down trees. Muskrats and beaver are the only mammals that build their home in the water, but the muskrat lodge is smaller. They often dig dens into the bank; again the muskrat opening is smaller."

But they have emotional systems so similar to ours that it’s a little bit freaky. And we are emotional creatures. We can’t really separate emotions from stuff that makes up our daily lives, like decision-making, believing, and behaving. Even in tasks that have nothing to do with emotions, performance is influenced by the emotional state we’re in while trying to complete them. I had a dog that could actually think.

"text": "\"Pets Birds What is the difference between a Crow, a Raven, a Black Bird and a Rook?3 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Crows, Ravens, Rooks, and Blackbirds are often confused with each other (especially Crows and Ravens) but are actually four distinct birds. Crows, Ravens and Rooks are all in the same direct family (Corvids), whereas the Blackbird is a member of the Thrush family. Here are some detailed specifics if youre interested, from websites to illustrate the differences between: ***CROWS & RAVENS: \"\"Many people use the terms 'raven' and 'crow' interchangeably, but they are actually quite different. Technically, since ravens belong to the crow (corvus) family of birds, they can be called crows - but not all crows are ravens. Corvidae is a family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies and nutcrackers (Clayton and Emery 2005, [1]). Collectively its members are called corvids and there are over 120 species. The two differ in a variety of ways. Size First, and most noticeably, ravens are larger than crows. They are (on average) about the size of a hawk, where crows are approximately the size of a pigeon. Call If you're familiar with the call which crows make, you'd probably recognize the raven's call as being different."

The genus includes species commonly known as crows, ravens, rooks and jackdaws; there is no consistent distinction between \"\"crows\"\" and \"\"ravens\"\", and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller than ravens. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon -sized jackdaws ( Eurasian and Daurian) to the common raven of the Holarctic region and thick-billed raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 45 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except South America, and several islands. The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the family Corvidae. The members appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a 'flock' or a 'murder'. [ 1] The genus name is Latin for \"\"raven\"\".

"text": "Farm Industry Newsbrought to you by Autosteer is here Wayne Wenzel | Feb 15, 2004WHEN THE FIRST prototype autosteer tractors came out a few years ago, many farmers considered them an expensive oddity that would never catch on. Times changed, and somewhere between then and now, an autosteer gold rush began. The tipping point may have occurred last August when John Deere dropped a bombshell. According to the John Deere Journal, sales of the John Deere Auto Trac automated guidance system had tripled from the previous year. Tony Thelen, a John Deere marketing manager, even credited an increase in tractor sales to the popularity of Auto Trac when he stated, “We have customers who have bought tractors because they wanted Auto Trac. ”It didn't take long for competitors to realize that kind of buying behavior meant there was unmet demand for autosteer products. And though still in the catbird seat, John Deere would not remain the absolute autosteer gatekeeper for long. A convergence of components and technologies made aftermarket autosteer systems easier to afford and operate. Farmers started buying the systems from several companies and installing them on their tractors. Those companies scrambled to one-up each other with products that could do more for less money."

Performing arts centres like these allow artists from different areas of the North to come together, and provide venues where their work can be presented. Inuit Culture Inuit culture ranges from Siberia to Greenland and includes several territories and large cities.

Red blood cell (RBC) indices are individual components of a routine blood test called the complete blood count (CBC). The CBC is used to measure the quantity and physical characteristics of different types of cells found in your blood. Blood consists of RBCs, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets that are suspended in your plasma. Platelets are cells that enable clot formation. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout your body to all of your tissues and organs. An RBC is pale red and gets its color from hemoglobin. It’s shaped like a doughnut, but it has a thinner area in the middle instead of a hole. Your RBCs are normally all the same color, size, and shape. However, certain conditions can cause variations that impair their ability to function properly."

The hemogram can be broken down into groups depending on what we would like to evaluate: Erythrogram: This includes counts of red blood cells (RBC) and RBC mass (hematocrit), hemoglobin concentration, RBC indices (cell size, hemoglobin content), RBC size variation (red cell distribution width or RDW), reticulocyte counts (percentage or absolute), nucleated RBC count (per 100 WBC or absolute), and RBC morphologic features, including presence of parasites. Leukogram: This includes a total white blood cell (WBC) count (corrected for n RBCs) and a differential cell count of the individual leukocytes (absolute counts, but some laboratories also provide percentage counts), and WBC morphologic features, including presence of parasites. Thrombogram: This includes results for platelet numbers and size (mean platelet volume) and an estimate of platelet numbers from a blood smear (to verify any provided counts and check for clumps). Some laboratories also provide results for platelet mass (platelet crit). Plasma: In some laboratories, a measurement of total solids by refractometer (often called total protein by refractometer or total protein-ref) and a visual assessment of plasma color (hemolysis, lipemia, icterus) is provided as part of the hemogram. For creating a hemogram, we do the following tests: Measurement of cell counts: These are usually provided by automated analyzers. Red blood cell (RBC): Several different counts of mature RBC are provided including RBC mass (hematocrit [ HCT] or packed cell volume [PCV], RBC count, and hemoglobin concentration. Also, in anemic dogs and cats, immature anucleated RBC (reticulocytes) are also counted ( percentage and absolute counts) to assess for a regeneration by the bone marrow in response to the anemia. Reticulocyte counts can be done in other species, but are not usually part of a routine hemogram."

We examined the clinical usefulness of this study in a pediatric population with an unknown source of hematuria. Materials and Methods Children 12 years old or younger referred for evaluation of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria exhibiting 4 or more RBCs per high power field were enrolled in this study. Patients provided a first morning urine sample subjected to refined urinalysis for RBC morphology. Standard evaluation of patients was performed until a final diagnosis of the hematuria source was identified. Results A total of 44 patients completed the study. Refined urinalysis revealed pure dysmorphic RBCs in 22 patients, pure isomorphic RBCs in 8 and mixed isomorphic/dysmorphic RBCs in 14. The presence of dysmorphic RBCs correctly predicted a glomerulotubular source of hematuria in 29 of 36 patients (sensitivity 83%, specificity 81%), while the presence of isomorphic RBCs predicted a uroepithelial source of hematuria in 2 of 8 patients (sensitivity 25%, specificity 22%).

Slideshow Dental (Oral) Health Quiz Causes of a Heart Attack Slideshow Test Overview Facebook Twitter Email Print Article A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your doctor check any symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising, you may have. A CBC also helps him or her diagnose conditions, such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders. A CBC test usually includes: White blood cell (WBC, leukocyte) count. White blood cells protect the body against infection. If an infection develops, white blood cells attack and destroy the bacteria, virus, or other organism causing it. White blood cells are bigger than red blood cells but fewer in number. When a person has a bacterial infection, the number of white cells rises very quickly. The number of white blood cells is sometimes used to find an infection or to see how the body is dealing with cancer treatment."

"text": "A Complete Blood Count: Why a Blood Test is Importantby Contributing Writer One of the medical community’s most effective means to understand what is happening in your body is to conduct a blood test. In effect, the test is a snapshot of your current health, and the count of white and red blood cells, along with platelets gives doctors strong indicators as to the type of ailment you are suffering from. Below is a quick guide to what those numbers mean. When a physician orders a lab test during a routine physical exam, it will typically include a blood test, specifically a CBC blood test. CBC, complete blood count, is helpful to the physician for determining the levels of different cells in the blood. The purpose of this test is to examine the white blood cells (WBC), the red blood cells (RBC) and the platelets. When a complete blood count is ordered, the blood will either be drawn at the doctor’s office, hospital or a lab. The blood is then sent to a lab for testing. White Blood Count Should the results the CBC blood test show a high white blood count (WBC), it may mean there is an infection somewhere or in some cases, it could indicate the presence of a malignancy or STD. When someone is taking antibiotics for the treatment of an infection, a CBC will sometimes be ordered to determine if the infection is responding the antibiotics."

Share Email Feedback Sections Reference Range Interpretation Collection and Panels Background Show All Media Gallery References Reference Range The reference ranges for mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration are as follows: MCH: 27-33 picograms (pg)/cell in adults [ 1]MCHC: 33-36 g/d L in adults [ 1]Normal values may vary depending on the individual laboratory. Interpretation Both mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) reflect the average hemoglobin content of red blood cells in slightly different ways (see \"\"Description\"\" in Background). Although MCH expresses the average content (mass, weight) of hemoglobin per red cell, MCHC expresses the average weight of hemoglobin per unit volume of red cell (see also \"\"Understanding MCH and MCHC Using a River Tubing Analogy\"\" in Background). [ 2]MCH, MCHC, and MCV are parts of red cell indices (parameters reflecting size and hemoglobin content of red cells) that have traditionally been used to aid in the differential diagnosis of anemia. [ 3] Although MCH can be used to determine if an anemia is hypo-, normo-, or hyperchromic, the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) has to be considered along with the MCH since cell volume (MCV) affects the content of hemoglobin present per cell (MCH), and MCH can decrease or increase in parallel to the MCV. [ 3] Thus, MCHC in the past has been thought to be a better parameter than MCH to determine hypochromasia. [ 4]However, the MCHC, as measured by a multichannel analyzer nowadays, is not affected by plasma trapping, which typically results in slightly increased hematocrit. MCHC is not then decreased when there is hypochromasia. Therefore, MCV together with red cell distribution width (RDW) have become the two most useful parameters in classifying anemias, while MCH and MCHC do not add significant, clinically relevant information. [ 3, 5] MCH and MCHC, nonetheless, play an important role in laboratory quality control. ["

Scott c d Hongshen Ma a c Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2014.03.038 Get rights and content Abstract A common indicator of rheological dysfunction is a measurable decrease in the deformability of red blood cells (RBCs). Decreased RBC deformability is associated with cellular stress or pathology and can impede the transit of these cells through the microvasculature, where RBCs play a central role in the oxygenation of tissues. Therefore, RBC deformability has been recognized as a sensitive biomarker for rheological disease. In the current study, we present a strategy to measure RBC cortical tension as an indicator of RBC deformability based on the critical pressure required for RBC transit through microscale funnel constrictions. By modeling RBCs as a Newtonian liquid drop, we were able to discriminate cells fixed with glutaraldehyde concentrations that vary as little as 0.001%. When RBCs were sampled from healthy donors on different days, the RBC cortical tension was found to be highly reproducible. Inter-individual variability was similarly reproducible, showing only slightly greater variability, which might reflect biological differences between normal individuals. Both the sensitivity and reproducibility of cortical tension, as an indicator of RBC deformability, make it well-suited for biological and clinical analysis of RBC microrheology.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) is the most common laboratory test that is used to examine the components of blood. It is one of the most basic diagnostic procedures that provides hematologic values such as the white blood cell count, red blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, red cell distribution width (RDW), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). While most of us have a basic idea on what white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets are, terms such as MCV, MCH and MCHC are lesser known.

Let's take a look at the information contained in your complete blood count ( CBC ), including your red blood cell count, and then discuss the meaning and importance of each of these indices. Your Complete Blood Count (CBC)The complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test ordered by doctors so that they can evaluate the composition and quality of the blood cells in your body. These blood cells include: White blood cells (leukocytes) which help fight infection Red blood cells (erythrocytes) which distribute oxygen throughout the body Platelets (thrombocytes) which clot blood Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)The red blood cell count (RBC) is the number of red blood cells that are found in your blood. A normal RBC count depends on age and gender: For women, 4.2 - 5.4 million/mc LFor men, 4.7 - 6.1 million/mc LFor children 4.1 - 5.5 million/mc LA low red blood cell count is referred to as anemia. There are many different causes of anemia, of which iron deficiency is only one. Red blood cell indices are very helpful in distinguishing these different causes. An elevated red blood cell count is called erythrocytosis or polycythemia. Causes may include dehydration (in which the level isn't actually high, but appears that way due to less fluid volume in the blood), a need for greater oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, such as living at high altitudes, COPD, or heart failure, and an increased production of red cells in the bone marrow due to conditions such as polycythemia vera."

By Jerry Kennard Updated March 02, 2018Share Pin Email Printjacoblund/i Stockphoto A bladder tumor is an excessive reproduction of cells that line the bladder where liquid waste from the kidneys is stored in the body until released through urination. Most tumors are noncancerous wart-like growths called papillomas. Cancerous bladder tumors can spread through the bladder wall and into other organs via the bloodstream. Here are some important facts to know about bladder tumors: Bladder tumors are nearly four times more common in men than in women. Bladder tumors are most common in white men over the age of 50. Less than 1 percent of cases of bladder cancer occur in people under 40 years old. Bladder tumors are the second most common tumor that can occur in the reproductive and urinary tract (a prostate tumor is the most common). Tumors of the lining of the bladder cause about 4 percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. Bladder tumors can be cancerous or noncancerous (benign)."

If your doctor suspects kidney cancer, you may have some of the following tests, but you are unlikely to need all of them. You will probably have urine and blood tests to check for changes that could be caused by kidney cancer, but these tests cannot provide a definite diagnosis. The main tests for diagnosing kidney cancer are imaging scans (see below) and tissue sampling ( biopsy ). Sometimes the doctor will also recommend an internal examination of thebladder ( cystoscopy ). It may take up to a week to receive your test results. If you feel anxious while waiting for test results, try talking to a close friend or relative, or call Cancer Council 13 11 20 for support.

Full Answer Squamous cells in the urine are a type of epithelial cells, which come from the tissues lining the bladder or urethra, among other structures in the body. It's normal for epithelial cells to show up in urine, though the number of them increases in the event of inflammation or infection in the urinary system. The presence of some epithelial cells in urine can be cause for concern; for example, renal tubular epithelial cells, which come from the kidneys, may indicate a kidney problem, according to Johns Hopkins Lupus Center. In rare cases, the presence of atypical squamous cells in the urine may indicate the presence of cancer, typically urothelial carcinoma or squamous-cell carcinoma."

Tecentriq (atezolizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that affects the actions of the body's immune system. Atezolizumab strengthens your immune system to help your body fight against tumor cells. Tecentriq is used to treat a certain type of bladder cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Tecentriq is also used to treat non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Tecentriq is usually given after other cancer medicines have been tried without success. Slideshow Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Boosting the Cancer Battle Important information Tecentriq strengthens your immune system to help your body fight against tumor cells. This may cause the immune system to attack normal healthy tissues or organs. When this happens, you may develop serious or life-threatening medical problems. Call your doctor at once if you have new or worsening symptoms such as: cough, breathing problems, changes in appetite or weight, diarrhea, stomach pain, vision problems, increased thirst or urination, yellowing of the skin or eyes, mood or behavior changes, severe muscle weakness, or numbness and tingling."

[ 1, 2]Epidemiology Urothelial papilloma has a low incidence; it represents 1-4% of bladder tumors. The male-to-female ratio is 1.9:1. Urothelial papilloma tends to occur in younger patients and may be seen in children. [ 1]Etiology The risk factors for urothelial papilloma are similar to those of other urothelial neoplasms. Cigarette smoking and occupational exposure to aromatic amines are the most important among them. [ 2]Location The posterior or lateral walls close to the ureteric orifices and the urethra are the most common locations. [ 1, 3, 4, 5, 6]Clinical Features and Imaging Hematuria is the most common presenting symptom. Most papillomas are single and occur in younger patients (mean age, 46 years; range, 22-89 years). [ 1, 4] Urothelial papilloma may recur; however, it does not progress."

Introduction The urothelial lining of the bladder presents diagnostic challenges, even under normal circumstances. A multitude of confounding factors, such as inflammation, reparative changes, distension state, and treatment effects, can hinder a diagnosis of early neoplasia. Thus, evaluation of biopsy and/or transurethral resection specimens requires pathologists to command a detailed understanding of the spectrum of histologic changes that can arise in the urinary bladder. Adding to the diagnostic challenge is that available ancillary studies, such as immunohistochemical (IHC) stains, are suboptimal in the diagnosis of bladder neoplasia. In light of these difficulties, pathologists have developed several diagnostic categories to address the histologic gray zones in bladder pathology. Despite what progress has been made, these categories are subjective and often do not correlate with outcomes. What are atypia and dysplasia? The definition of atypia has been a contentious topic within the field of pathology, not restricted to the genitourinary subspecialty."

"text": "Overview Female urinary system Male urinary system Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting approximately 68,000 adults in the United States each year. Bladder cancer occurs in men more frequently than it does in women and usually affects older adults, though it can happen at any age. Bladder cancer most often begins in the cells (urothelial cells) that line the inside of your bladder — the hollow, muscular organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Although it's most common in the bladder, this same type of cancer can occur in other parts of the urinary tract drainage system. About seven out of every 10 bladder cancers diagnosed start out at an early stage — when bladder cancer is highly treatable. However, even early-stage bladder cancer may recur in the bladder. For this reason, people with bladder cancer typically need follow-up tests for years after treatment to look for bladder cancer that recurs or advances to a higher stage. Bladder cancer care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms Bladder cancer signs and symptoms may include: Blood in urine (hematuria)Painful urination Pelvic pain If you have hematuria, your urine may appear bright red or cola colored. Sometimes, urine may not look any different, but blood in urine may be detected during a microscopic exam of the urine. People with bladder cancer might also experience: Back pain Frequent urination But, these symptoms often occur because of something other than bladder cancer."

Last updated on September 17th, 2017 by Daniel Noll If Mexican cuisine ranks as one of the world’s great cuisines (it was the first cuisine to receive UNESCO culinary heritage status), it’s certainly aided in part by what goes on in the kitchens of Oaxaca. Oaxacan food: roasted, subtle, rich, layered. Moles, chocolate, tiny avocados that taste faintly like licorice, giant balls of quesillo cheese ribbons, grasshoppers, whopping Mexican pizzas, stunning grilled meats, corn fungus, mysterious herbs like epazote, and more types of chili peppers than you can shake a fire extinguisher at. This is Oaxacan cuisine. Save Oaxaca. Say it with me: Wa-ha-ka. We won’t lie: when we opted to spend a couple of months in Oaxaca, Mexico its cuisine was certainly a major factor in our decision. We used the gourmandish pretext of “We need to discover what Oaxacan food is all about” as an excuse to explore the city and to eat ourselves silly."

When you're done completely redefining your regional Mexican food palate by taco touring your way through this sprawling city, there may come a time when you will want to start experimenting with your very own carne asada and long-braised lamb barbacoas at home. When this time comes, you can rest assured that the hundreds of Mexican markets, corner stores, and even some major local supermarket chains will have your back. Most Mexican markets here can be treated as one-stop-shops, and can supply you with everything you need and more (see: dark Mexican beer) to make killer Mexican food at home. But there are some markets that specialize in certain ingredients —you just have to know what they are and where to look. Here is the list of my favorites, as a first generation Mexican American and native Angeleno. Tortillas: As you get into cooking Mexican food at home, you will quickly realize that having a proper tortilla is half the battle. If you have a decent tortilla, your food is guaranteed to be at least 50% more amazing. ( That's science, right?)"

Key word, being authentic. And, having been to Mexico quite a few times during that time, I knew it was a whole different world between what I would consider ‘real’ Mexican tacos and ‘Americanized’ tacos. ( As in NOT Taco Bell)Anyway, having moved to Washington State (where there is a severe lack of any edible Mexican food) I soon realized that if I wanted awesomely tasty tacos, as I was used to, I was going to have to make them myself.

There was usually a display on the counter that held little clear plastic boxes of four or five Mexican jumping beans. You could hear the display rattle as the beans clicked against the plastic boxes. We would buy them and play games with them on the kitchen table. So, to answer your first question, Mexican jumping beans are real. The next question should be, \"\"Do Mexican jumping beans have the near-human mental capacity of the beans that help Speedy Gonzalez?

I will probably get a lot of downvotes from my paisanos from Mexico City, but, since Quora is always seeking the truth, here is the truth about Quesadillas. A quesadilla is either a flour or maize (corn) tortilla, filled with cheese (the melting kind, such as asadero, Chihuahua or Oaxaca) and then folded in half. It can also have other ingredients inside, but it should always have melted cheese inside. ALWAYS! I say 'it should' because it isn't always this way, specially in Mexico city and some sorrounding places. Here is where the topic gets controversial. The capitalinos (people who live in the Capital, Mexico City) sell quesadillas without cheese, you need to specify that you want cheese on it, otherwise, they would just give you a folder tortilla with any filling you asked for."

I live in Los Angeles, which has too many great Mexican restaurants to count. Tacos In the vast majority of the time, tacos here look something like this. It’s a very simple meal consisting of a small corn tortilla (never flour) and a protein of some kind (usually beef, pork, chicken). Sometimes two tortillas are used; other times, it’s one. If you say you want it with ‘everything’, everything usually means fresh cilantro and chopped onions. A variety of different salsas are generally offered ranging from mild to ‘mouth-on-fire’ hot. One might say is the Mexican version of an open-faced sandwich. There are places like Taco Bell who serve something called a taco, but it looks substantially different from the ones you’ll find in the more authentic places. Pretty much anything goes with the American version of a taco."

Raised by his Catholic grandmother, del Toro developed an interest in filmmaking in his early teens. Later, he learned about makeup and effects from the legendary Dick Smith ( The Exorcist (1973)) and worked on making his own short films. At the age of 21, del Toro executive produced his first feature, Dona Herlinda and Her Son (1986). Del Toro spent almost 10 years as a makeup supervisor, and formed his own company, Necropia in the early 1980s. He also produced and directed Mexican television programs at this time, and taught film. Del Toro got his first big break when Cronos (1993) won nine Ariel Awards (the Mexican equivalent of the Oscars), then went on to win the International Critics Week Prize at Cannes. Following this success, del Toro made his first Hollywood film, Mimic (1997), starring Mira Sorvino. Del Toro had some unfortunate experiences working with a demanding Hollywood studio on Mimic (1997), and returned to Mexico to form his own production company, The Tequila Gang. Next for del Toro, was The Devil's Backbone (2001), a Spanish Civil War ghost story."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Hardware Desktops What does \"\"re-booting your computer mean & how is it done, Please. ? 3 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: When installing certain applications or programs the computer may need to reboot. Usually these programs will ask you to restart and the computer will automatically shutdown and restart or the application may do it completely on it's own. Manual reboot of the computer is when you just select the Restart option in the Start menu. Another way of saying rebooting is restarting the computer. This is required also so certain files can start up or stop being used for the computer to work properly after installing or even uninstalling applications, programs, or games. It is never recommended to actually turn the power off using the power button on the tower case. This is called a \"\"Hard Shutdown\"\" and Windows does not like being shutdown like this and to many times of doing so can mess up the operating system cause it will not save important information into the registry that it may need to reboot the next time.msdz2000 · 1 decade ago7 1 1 comment Asker's rating In your computers bios there is a setting where you can set the boot order. If your boot order is set to have the computer boot to CD first then you can boot to CD which is useful if you are reinstalling XP or have emergency boot CD's for your antivirus program or other utility. For the most part you won't use this but its good to know if problems happen."

"text": "\"by Fisnik Hasani Building Your Own Bootloader I am one of those folks who are very interested in understanding how Operating Systems work, no matter if it is Windows, or Ubuntu (or other Linux distros), or MAC OSX. Building your own bootloader is a pretty easy thing to accomplish; however, I think it would be wise to explain the concept and the terminologies in this area. Bootloader is a small program that is executed under boot up in 16-bit Real Mode. It is very small, in fact, it is only 512 bytes and it resides on the very first sector of a boot device. The bootloader is used to load more complex programs like an OS Kernel. The 512 byte bootloader code is stored with the Master Boot Record (MBR) and is loaded by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) via Interrupt (INT) 0x19 at 0x0000:0x7c00h. This is a standard sequence in booting for almost all x86 PCs, except that in some PCs it can be loaded to 0x7c00:0x0000h. To be able to accomplish this successfully, you need the following tools installed on your computer machine: Notepad++ a freeware source code editor supports syntax color highlighting for all programming languages, as far as I can confirm it. Netwide Assembler (NASM) is a freeware assembler used to produce binary programs, or boot images. VMware Workstation (This one is not freeware), however, if you want a freeware I highly suggest Oracle’s Virtual Box."

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on Amazon EC2. When ssh'ed into the box I can type runlevel and I get: N 2Looking at man reboot I see that: When called with --force or when in runlevel 0 or 6, this tool invokes the reboot (2) system call itself and directly reboots the system. Otherwise this simply invokes the shutdown (8) tool with the appropriate arguments. If I read man shutdown 8 I see:shutdown arranges for the system to be brought down in a safe way. All logged-in users are notified that the system is going down and, within the last five minutes of TIME, new logins are prevented. My basic understanding about the difference between reboot and init 6 is: On other distros and perhaps older distros reboot would just unmount the disks and basically flick the power switch without running any shutdown scriptsinit 6 will run all of the shutdown scripts in /etc/init/rc. * as it reduces system's runlevel On newer versions of Ubuntu the reboot command without --force or -f will run the shutdown command which does would basically do the same thing as init 6It's probably better to get in the habit of using init 6 instead of reboot as it is safer and would work better cross-distro, but the default behavior of reboot has been changed to try and prevent errors / dataloss if someone does use it.

"text": "\"Fix ›Windows How to Fix Freezing & Other Issues During Windows Startup What to do when Windows hangs during the startup process Share Pin Email Printby Tim Fisher Updated March 16, 2018One particularly frustrating way in which your computer might not start is when you encounter an issue during the Windows startup process but have nothing to go on – no Blue Screen of Death or other error message. Maybe Windows 7 hangs on startup, forcing you to look at \"\"Starting Windows\"\" for an hour. You're forced to restart manually, only to watch it freeze at the same place again. Or maybe your Windows 10 computer restarts automatically sometime after it begins to load, causing what's called a \"\"reboot loop. \"\" Sometimes your computer might even stop at a point where you can move your mouse around but nothing happens. Windows might seem like it's still trying to start but, eventually, you have to manually reboot your computer, only to see the same behavior again!Note: If you see a blue screen full of information flash on the screen before your computer reboots, this is a Blue Screen of Death and your computer happens to be configured to reboot after one. See How to Fix a Blue Screen of Death instead of this guide. Important: If your PC is, in fact, booting to the Windows login screen, you see any kind of error message, or if you're not even getting past the POST, see How to Fix a Computer That Won't Turn On for a better troubleshooting guide for your specific problem.

There was an XDA news post a while back after someone made an app for it where the app author described it as such: Hot reboot by rebooting only the graphical Android shell. From what I know it's sort of equivalent to restarting your X server in a Linux environment (like hitting CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE, for example). I would definitely doubt that you'd cause any damage by restarting your graphical environment, especially considering other OSes do this pretty easily, but I suppose there's an outside chance if MIUI implements it strangely. Typically the reason people use a \"\"hot boot\"\" option is if the UI has somehow gotten sluggish and would benefit from a restart but they want to save time by not restarting the whole system (maybe a memory leak in the UI or something of that sort). It could also be useful if you need to restart the UI to apply some sort of change, like a theme perhaps.share improve this answeranswered Feb 19 '12 at 19:44eldarerathis ♦33.3k 13 124166add a comment Your Answer Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service."

The Windows 7 version of this fix introduced an additional option to the Disk Cleanup wizard that would cleanup previous versions of Windows Update files. KB2852386 adds a Disk Cleanup option on Windows Server 2008 R2, similar to the Windows 7 update. What does this mean for Windows Server 2008 R2? After installing this update and prior to being able to perform the cleanup, the Desktop Experience feature must be installed. Why you ask? Disk Cleanup is not installed by default on Windows Server 2008 R2. It is instead a component installed with the Desktop Experience feature.

This is one of the most common issues that may occur after updating your device. There hasn’t been any major update rolled out for the Galaxy S6 device yet, so basically, what our reader may have downloaded was an update containing bug fixes and patches. Minor updates may also cause trouble but any problems that may arise are often fixed without doing some complicated procedure. In fact, this problem kept on happening with previous #Samsung Galaxy devices but the thing is that users couldn’t pull the battery out to perform soft reset, which can potentially fix this kind of problem. I will tackle this issue, too, so read on. Here’s the actual message from our reader to give you an idea how his phone behaves after installing the update…“ My phone is stuck in re-boot after I agreed to let the phone do it’s normal update & restart.

"text": "\"news What Studio Executives Think Of Rotten Tomatoes By Gregory Wakeman 2 years ago It’s been a rather surprising summer for Hollywood studios. Fantastic Four and Terminator: Genisys each tanked, while Jurassic World and Furious 7 were monumental hits. Now, in hindsight, one of the big reasons studios executives attribute to a film's success is the impact of Rotten Tomatoes, the movie review-collecting website that the powers that be in Hollywood taking it very seriously. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this summer's statistics help prove just how much audiences use Rotten Tomatoes as a barometer before they go and see a film. In fact, THR reports that more people wait to see scores on Rotten Tomatoes and then decide what to see, which basically means that pre-release tracking figures -- once very important to the studios -- are now redundant. Speaking about the rise in power of the website, Paramount’s president of worldwide distribution and marketing Megan Colligan explained: This was a summer completely designed by reviews and word-of-mouth. I would actually hear people in the grocery store talking about Rotten Tomatoes scores. Just look at the statistics: Terminator: Genisys, Entourage, Magic Mike XXL, Vacation, The Man From U. N. C. L. E., Fantastic Four, and We Are Your Friends each failed to match the projections that early-release tracking predicted for them (according to THR). And it’s no coincidence that each of these films also scored disastrously low scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Trainwreck, Straight Outta Compton, and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, each excelled on Rotten Tomatoes, scoring 85 percent, 90 percent, and 93 percent \"\"fresh,\"\" respectively."

Since this kind of thing is dangerous for a system like Linux the decision was made to hook those keystrokes and do something else instead. This is controlled by init and you can see what it does by looking in /etc/inittab. On my Debian Squeeze system:ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now Windows NT later followed suit and turned Ctrl + Alt + Delete into the secure key entry mode*. In the case of X, it is similarly hooking the keystrokes but it simply kill s the display server (which will automatically respawn if you're using a display manager). Some systems (perhaps all, I haven't tried in a while) you can still press Ctrl + Alt + Delete before the OS loads to trigger a BIOS reset. *"

Their decisions can affect the game's result and create controversy among the players, club owners and fans. Nevertheless, referees are handsomely paid for their trouble. Salaries vary widely, depending on the league for which the referee works. The Major League of Soccer in the U. S. brackets the wages of referees based on their experience and the stage of the tournament. Experience The MLS pays referees a fee for every game based on their experience. There are four experience levels. Level four referees, who have zero to 20 games of experience, received $700 per game, as of 2011. Level three referees, who have 21 to 40 games of experience, received $900. Level two referees, who have 41 to 75 games of experience, received $1,000 per game."

The salaries for professional soccer players in Major League Soccer reflect this. Soccer players, particularly rookies, often make much less than their counterparts in other sports, and the gap between top pay and bottom pay is enormous. MLS Salaries Beginning and lower-echelon players in Major League Soccer make a minimum of $35,125 a year, by far the lowest minimum salary of major professional team sports in America. As of the end of the 2013 season, 154 players made less than $50,000 a year. The average salary in the MLS, however, was $160,000, and the median salary was $100,000. About 45 percent of MLS players -- that's 249 -- made over $100,000. The Gap The gap between the highest-paid and lowest-paid players is quite pronounced in professional soccer. With a minimum salary in the mid-30s, many MLS players play on the same shifts, share the same locker rooms, and accumulate the same number of wins and losses as players making as much as 140 times their salaries. Clint Dempsey, the highest-paid MLS player, received $4.9 million for the 2013 season."

Select Group referees — operating mostly in the Premier League — are believed to earn a basic salary of around £65,000 per year, while they also receive fees in excess of £1,000 per game in the top flight. If they were to officiate 38 games in a season, it would bring their overall pay to more than £100,000. Referees on the National Group — operating in the Football League — are not on contracts and are paid in the region of £380 a match. They sign up to the National Group on the equivalent of a freelance basis. If they were to officiate the 46 games in a Football League season, they would receive £17,480.+5Top Premier League referees like Phil Dowd (centre) can earn up to £100,000 per year in wages+5Referees lower down the football food chain earn far less, with potential earnings of around £17,000 per year Assistant referees on the National List are paid as little as £185 per match while fourth officials receive £110. So an assistant referee in the Championship would receive only £8,510 for a 46-game season but no retainer in the summer months. In many cases, it will be less because assistant referees are not guaranteed a game in the Football League every week and will also combine fourth-official duties and officiating in non-League games. One assistant estimated that his yearly earnings would be closer to £5,000. There is also no sliding scale between the Championship and League Two and Sportsmail’s calculations demonstrate that there could, in theory, be an £80,000 gap in pay between refereeing regularly in the Premier League and the Championship.+5Football League officials tend to work on a freelance basis meaning it is harder to get regular work The Select Group and National Group fall under the jurisdiction of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL)."

We take in-depth look at how referees across all top 5 european leagues are compensated. We all know that Footballers in top european leagues are paid way over the top in weekly wages but the referees in premier league and some other big leagues around europe are paid in peanuts compared to footballers. In premier league referees pay scale is different than other european leagues. In england referees became professional when “ PROFESSIONAL GAME MATCH OFFICIALS BOARD (PGMOB)” was formed who has 15 to 20 referees in the selected panel for every premier league season. The list of referees in current panel can be found on our List of Premier League Referees 2016-17. But how much do the refs in premier league get paid ? lets take a look. Average Salaries of Premier League Referees 2016-2017: All the referee in “premier league referees panel” for a season get a retainer fee of £38,500 to £42,000 a year depending on the experience plus a standard £1,150 match fee for every game they officiate throughout the season."

Referee Salaries: How Much Do Soccer Referees Make?3By Mike on June 18, 2014 Soccer FAQs Referees for the 2014 World Cup are paid $50,000 a piece for the entire tournament. What’s more interesting is that there are only 25 of them ( chosen from thousands worldwide ), and they have no set schedule . All they know is that they are guaranteed 1 game. If they do well, they may get another game. If they do poorly, they will almost surely be sent home on the next available flight. FIFA doesn’t want referees to be the the center of discussion, so only the best referees will be given a chance to officiate more than one game. And only the very best officials will be given the opportunity to officiate the World Cup final. American referee Mark Geiger will go to his first World Cup in his seventh year on FIFA’s international list of officials approved for national team matches. Refereeing soccer is a thankless job, where there are few benefits and the only time one is recognized is when they make a bad call."

[ 1] [2] The function of TFs is to regulate - turn on and off - genes in order to make sure that they are expressed in the right cell at the right time and in the right amount throughout the life of the cell and the organism. Groups of TFs function in a coordinated fashion to direct cell division, cell growth, and cell death throughout life; cell migration and organization ( body plan) during embryonic development; and intermittently in response to signals from outside the cell, such as a hormone. There are up to 2600 TFs in the human genome. TFs work alone or with other proteins in a complex, by promoting (as an activator ), or blocking (as a repressor) the recruitment of RNA polymerase (the enzyme that performs the transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA) to specific genes. [ 3] [4] [5]A defining feature of TFs is that they contain at least one DNA-binding domain (DBD), which attaches to a specific sequence of DNA adjacent to the genes that they regulate. [ 6] [7] TFs are grouped into classes based on their DBDs. [ 8] [9] Other proteins such as coactivators, chromatin remodelers, histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, kinases, and methylases are also essential to gene regulation, but lack DNA-binding domains, and therefore are not TFs. [ 10]TFs are of interest in medicine because TF mutations can cause specific diseases, and medications can be potentially targeted toward them.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Alternative splicing produces three protein isoforms. Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, is a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins. In this process, particular exons of a gene may be included within or excluded from the final, processed messenger RNA (m RNA) produced from that gene. [ 1] Consequently, the proteins translated from alternatively spliced m RNAs will contain differences in their amino acid sequence and, often, in their biological functions (see Figure). Notably, alternative splicing allows the human genome to direct the synthesis of many more proteins than would be expected from its 20,000 protein-coding genes. Alternative splicing occurs as a normal phenomenon in eukaryotes, where it greatly increases the biodiversity of proteins that can be encoded by the genome; [1] in humans, ~95% of multi-exonic genes are alternatively spliced. [ 2] There are numerous modes of alternative splicing observed, of which the most common is exon skipping. In this mode, a particular exon may be included in m RNAs under some conditions or in particular tissues, and omitted from the m RNA in others. [ 1]The production of alternatively spliced m RNAs is regulated by a system of trans-acting proteins that bind to cis-acting sites on the primary transcript itself. Such proteins include splicing activators that promote the usage of a particular splice site, and splicing repressors that reduce the usage of a particular site."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Silencer (DNA))navigation search See also: Molecular Biology In genetics, a silencer is a DNA sequence capable of binding transcription regulation factors, called repressors. DNA contains genes and provides the template to produce messenger RNA (m RNA). That m RNA is then translated into proteins. When a repressor protein binds to the silencer region of DNA, RNA polymerase is prevented from transcribing the DNA sequence into RNA. With transcription blocked, the translation of RNA into proteins is impossible. Thus, silencers prevent genes from being expressed as proteins. RNA polymerase, a DNA-dependent enzyme, transcribes the DNA sequences, called nucleotides, in the 3' to 5' direction while the complementary RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. RNA is similar to DNA, except that RNA contains uracil, instead of thymine, which forms a base pair with adenine. An important region for the activity of gene repression and expression found in RNA is the 3' untranslated region. This is a region on the 3' terminus of RNA that will not be translated to protein but includes many regulatory regions."

Even more interesting is the fact that those 25,000 genes are encoded in about 1.5% of the genome. So, what exactly does the other 98.5% of our DNA do? While many mysteries remain about what all of that extra sequence is for, we know that it does contain complex instructions that direct the intricate turning on and off of gene transcription. Eukaryotes Require Complex Controls Over Gene Expression While basic similarities in gene transcription exist between prokaryotes and eukaryotes—including the fact that RNA polymerase binds upstream of the gene on its promoter to initiate the process of transcription—multicellular eukaryotes control cell differentiation through more complex and precise temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression. Multicellular eukaryotes have a much larger genome than prokaryotes, which is organized into multiple chromosomes with greater sequence complexity. Many eukaryotic species carry genes with the same sequences as other plants and animals. In addition, the same DNA sequences (though not the same proteins) are found within all of an organism 's diploid, nucleated cells, even though these cells form tissues with drastically different appearances, properties, and functions. Why then, is there such great variation among and within such organisms? Quite simply, the way in which different genes are turned on and off in specific cells generates the variety we observe in nature."

"text": "\"Do complex organisms have more genes than simpler organisms? Now that researchers can sequence whole genomes and have done so for a number of organisms, they know that many vertebrates have only about twice as many genes as invertebrates, and many of these are the result of duplication of existing genes rather than development of new ones. But if there are not that many new genes, what is responsible for the incredible diversity in plant and animal species? The simple answer to this question is that eukaryotes have developed a more complex way of controlling expression of their existing genes than prokaryotes. This system of expression control relies on a group of proteins known as transcription factors (TFs), and it allows eukaryotes to alter their cell types and growth patterns in a variety of ways. TFs are not solely responsible for gene regulation; eukaryotes also rely on cell signaling, RNAsplicing, si RNA control mechanisms , and chromatin modifications . However, TFs that bind to cis -regulator DNA sequences are responsible for either positively or negatively influencing the transcription of specific genes, essentially determining whether a particular gene will be turned \"\"on\"\" or \"\"off\"\" in an organism.

In contrast, the complex patterns of dispersed regulation and pervasive transcription uncovered by the ENCODE project, together with non-genic conservation and the abundance of noncoding RNA genes, have challenged the notion of the gene. To illustrate this, we review the evolution of operational definitions of a gene over the past century—from the abstract elements of heredity of Mendel and Morgan to the present-day ORFs enumerated in the sequence databanks. We then summarize the current ENCODE findings and provide a computational metaphor for the complexity. Finally, we propose a tentative update to the definition of a gene: A gene is a union of genomic sequences encoding a coherent set of potentially overlapping functional products. Our definition sidesteps the complexities of regulation and transcription by removing the former altogether from the definition and arguing that final, functional gene products (rather than intermediate transcripts) should be used to group together entities associated with a single gene. It also manifests how integral the concept of biological function is in defining genes. Previous Section Next Section Introduction The classical view of a gene as a discrete element in the genome has been shaken by ENCODEThe ENCODE consortium recently completed its characterization of 1% of the human genome by various high-throughput experimental and computational techniques designed to characterize functional elements ( The ENCODE Project Consortium 2007 ). This project represents a major milestone in the characterization of the human genome, and the current findings show a striking picture of complex molecular activity."

Molecular biology was born in the laboratories of microbiologists studying viruses and bacteria. Microbes such as E. coli and its viruses are called model systems because of their use in studies that reveal broad biological principles. Microbiologists provided most of the evidence that genes are made of DNA, and they worked out most of the major steps in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Techniques enabling scientists to manipulate genes and transfer them from one organism to another were developed in microbes. In addition, viruses and bacteria have unique genetic features with implications for understanding the diseases that they cause. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, with cells that are much smaller and more simply organized than those of eukaryotes, such as plants and animals. Viruses are smaller and simpler still, lacking the structure and metabolic machinery of cells. Most viruses are little more than aggregates of nucleic acids and protein—genes in a protein coat. Concept 18.1 A virus has a genome but can reproduce only within a host cell Researchers discovered viruses by studying a plant disease."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle consisting of H2A , H2B , H3 and H4 core histones, and DNA. The view is from the top through the superhelical axis. Histone acetylation and deacetylation are the processes by which the lysine residues within the N-terminal tail protruding from the histone core of the nucleosome are acetylated and deacetylated as part of gene regulation. Histone acetylation and deacetylation are essential parts of gene regulation. These reactions are typically catalysed by enzymes with \"\" histone acetyltransferase \"\" (HAT) or \"\" histone deacetylase \"\" (HDAC) activity. Acetylation is the process where an acetyl functional group is transferred from one molecule (in this case, Acetyl-Coenzyme A) to another. Deacetylation is simply the reverse reaction where an acetyl group is removed from a molecule. Acetylated histones, octameric proteins that organize chromatin into nucleosomes and ultimately higher order structures, represent a type of epigenetic marker within chromatin. Acetylation removes the positive charge on the histones, thereby decreasing the interaction of the N termini of histones with the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA. As a consequence, the condensed chromatin is transformed into a more relaxed structure that is associated with greater levels of gene transcription."

Part A - Operon vocabulary Can you match terms related to operons to their definitions? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Hint 1. Overview of operon control An operon consists of a group of related genes that are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule from a single promoter. The switch that controls the transcription of an operon is a segment of DNA called an operator, which is usually part of the promoter. An operon is regulated by a regulatory protein that is transcribed from a regulatory gene outside of the operon DNA. The regulatory protein can be an activator, which in its active form stimulates gene transcription, or a repressor, which switches off the operon."

"text": "\"Key points: Gene regulation is the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed (used to make a functional product such as a protein). Different cells in a multicellular organism may express very different sets of genes, even though they contain the same DNA. The set of genes expressed in a cell determines the set of proteins and functional RNAs it contains, giving it its unique properties. In eukaryotes like humans, gene expression involves many steps, and gene regulation can occur at any of these steps. However, many genes are regulated primarily at the level of transcription. Introduction Your amazing body contains hundreds of different cell types, from immune cells to skin cells to neurons. Almost all of your cells contain the same set of DNA instructions – so why do they look so different, and do such different jobs? The answer: different gene regulation!Gene regulation makes cells different Gene regulation is how a cell controls which genes, out of the many genes in its genome, are \"\"turned on\"\" (expressed). Thanks to gene regulation, each cell type in your body has a different set of active genes – despite the fact that almost all the cells of your body contain the exact same DNA. These different patterns of gene expression cause your various cell types to have different sets of proteins, making each cell type uniquely specialized to do its job."

Rationale - DNA tightly wound around nucleosomes will be resistant to the nuclease since the DNA is protected by the histone proteins.

"text": "Control of the Cell Cycle Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Understand how the cell cycle is controlled by mechanisms both internal and external to the cell Explain how the three internal control checkpoints occur at the end of G 1, at the G 2 /M transition, and during metaphase Describe the molecules that control the cell cycle through positive and negative regulation The length of the cell cycle is highly variable, even within the cells of a single organism. In humans, the frequency of cell turnover ranges from a few hours in early embryonic development, to an average of two to five days for epithelial cells, and to an entire human lifetime spent in G 0 by specialized cells, such as cortical neurons or cardiac muscle cells. There is also variation in the time that a cell spends in each phase of the cell cycle. When fast-dividing mammalian cells are grown in culture (outside the body under optimal growing conditions), the length of the cycle is about 24 hours. In rapidly dividing human cells with a 24-hour cell cycle, the G 1 phase lasts approximately nine hours, the S phase lasts 10 hours, the G 2 phase lasts about four and one-half hours, and the M phase lasts approximately one-half hour. In early embryos of fruit flies, the cell cycle is completed in about eight minutes. The timing of events in the cell cycle is controlled by mechanisms that are both internal and external to the cell. Regulation of the Cell Cycle by External Events Both the initiation and inhibition of cell division are triggered by events external to the cell when it is about to begin the replication process. An event may be as simple as the death of a nearby cell or as sweeping as the release of growth-promoting hormones, such as human growth hormone (HGH). A lack of HGH can inhibit cell division, resulting in dwarfism, whereas too much HGH can result in gigantism."

"text": "usa | world | animals | vocabulary | health | science | math | history Reindeer The reindeer, known as caribou in North America, is an Arctic-dwelling deer (Rangifer tarandus). The reindeer is distributed throughout a number of northern locales. Reindeer are found throughout Scandinavia (including Iceland); in Russian Europe in Spitsbergen and furthermore, Northern Russia including Novaya Zemlya; in Russian Asia, to the Pacific Ocean; in North America on Greenland, Canada and Alaska. In 1952, reindeer were re-introduced to Scotland, as the natural stock had become extinct in the 10th century. Domesticated deer are mostly found in Northern Scandinavia and Russia, and wild deer are mostly found in North America, Greenland and Iceland. Its natural occurrence is approximately bounded within the 62° longitude. The weight of a female varies between 60 and 170 kg. In some subspecies of reindeer, the male is slightly larger; in others, the male can weigh up to 300 kg. Both sexes grow antlers, which (in the Scandinavian variety) for old males fall off in December, for young males in the spring and for females during the summer. The antlers typically have two separate groups of points (see image), a lower and upper."

Some specific references are noted within the text. Caribou Migration Caribou Biology Caribou Migration Why are some Porcupine Caribou herd calves born in Canada or the mountains? In spring the Porcupine caribou herd migrates hundreds of miles from winter ranges located south of the Brooks Range in Alaska, and from areas in Yukon Territory, to its traditional calving grounds on the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain and foothills. In years when there's deep snow on the winter range and along the migration routes, and when the spring snow melt is delayed by cold temperatures, caribou cows are delayed in reaching these preferred calving grounds. When this happens, the calves are born along the migration routes and on calving habitats in Canada. This happened in 1987, 2000 and 2001. Sometimes caribou are not delayed during the spring migration, but when they arrive at the edge of the foothills they find it is still covered by snow because cold temperatures have delayed snow-melt. In this case, the cow caribou give birth in snow free or partially snow free areas to the south, near or in the northern mountain valleys."

Reindeer and caribou share the same genus, Rangifer, and species name, tarandus. Domestication is the biggest difference between reindeer and caribou. Reindeer are a semidomesticated subspecies of Rangifer, and there are many subspecies of both reindeer and caribou in Alaska. Both male and female reindeer and caribou grow antlers -- a trait unique in the deer family -- although female reindeer antlers grow larger than female caribou antlers. Many of the distinguishing traits are thought to be the result of domestication. Reindeer are shorter, stouter and more sedentary than their long-legged caribou cousins, and although reindeer may migrate within their grazing range, they do not migrate long distances between wintering grounds and calving areas as caribou do. Reindeer bulls are smaller than caribou bulls, but reindeer cows generally weigh the same as caribou cows. Reindeer have thicker, denser fur than caribou, although both have hollow guard hairs that keep them warm."

Even though no one has actually seen a reindeer fly, this special member of the deer family has a lot to live up to! Reindeer and caribou are classified as the same genus and species, Rangifer tarandus. In Europe, they are called reindeer. In North America, the name reindeer is used when referring to Eurasian populations and the name caribou to refer to wild populations in North America. We also use reindeer to refer to domesticated individuals, even those in North America. Antlers are the reindeer’s most memorable characteristic. In comparison to body size, reindeer have the largest and heaviest antlers of all living deer species. A male’s antlers can measure up to 51 inches (130 centimeters) long, and a female’s antlers can reach 20 inches (50 centimeters). Just as a tree has a trunk, so all antlers have a main beam and several branches or tines that grow from the frontal bones of the skull."

Answer by LEE SEO JIN Confidence votes 223Caribou and reindeer have a varied diet during the summer, where they consume nearly all kinds of vascular plants. In the winter, they mainly eat lichens. Lichens look like small, crusty pieces of moss, but they are actually a symbiotic organism of a fungus and a green algae. Note that symbiotic means that each relies on the other to live. Reindeer love carrots and other greens but they also love pieces of apple with the skin still on. They also eat berries like bearberry, which looks similar like cranberry but, lichens are is their favourite.36 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The Nenets belong to the Samoyed group of peoples. Their ancestors originated in Southern Siberia and are believed to have settled in the Russian North about 1000 years ago. The first written reference to them was made in 1096 in Nestor’s chronicles. Traditionally the Nenets are reindeer breeders, who also hunt, trap and fish. The Nenets who lived in coastal areas also hunted sea mammals but reindeer is the basis of their culture providing food, clothing, shelter (skin tents) and transport.

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

Photograph: Pierre-henry Deshayes/AFP/Getty Images G reat stretches of Europe’s last wildernesses risk being damaged and polluted as the international mining industry gears up to develop northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway in search of uranium, iron ore, nickel, phosphorus, and valuable rare earth minerals, according to environmentalists. The prize for British, Australian, Canadian and other companies is billion-dollar mega mines in Lapland, a region which covers all three countries and Russia, able to supply burgeoning industry in Asia. But conservationists say the rush could bring permanent damage to the vast network of rivers, lakes and mountains which are home to many of Europe’s largest mammals, such as the lynx, wolf, bear and wolverine. In addition, human rights groups argue that Lapland and Sami indigenous commuities who live by reindeer herding and fishing will be hit, along with the region’s tourist industry, which depends on pristine nature. The polar mining boom, which mirrors the oil industry’s search for oil and gas, is heating up as climate change makes new areas and sea routes accessible and world prices of iron ore continue to soar. So far in 2014, 349 applications for mining permits have been made, of which 243 have been for Finland. Over one-eighth of Finland, an area twice the size of Wales, has now been designated for mining and hundreds of applications for exploration licenses have been received by the government. According to some studies, the Arctic holds over a fifth of the world’s untapped, recoverable oil and gas resources, as well as major reserves of rare earth, coal, uranium, gold, diamonds, zinc, platinum, nickel and iron ore. Some of the biggest developments could be in sparsely populated Finnish Lapland where government is encouraging industrial development with tax breaks and state help."

How does this gene cause the production of a string of amino acids called a protein? How do different types of cells know which types of proteins they must manufacture? The answers to such questions lie in the study of gene expression. Thus, this collection or articles begins by showing how a quiet, well-guarded string of DNA is expressed to make RNA, and how the messenger RNA is translated from nucleic acid coding to protein coding to form a protein. Along the way, the article set also examines the nature of the genetic code, how the elements of code were predicted, and how the actual codons were determined. Next, we turn to the regulation of genes. Genes can't control an organism on their own; rather, they must interact with and respond to the organism's environment. Some genes are constitutive, or always \"\"on,\"\" regardless of environmental conditions. Such genes are among the most important elements of a cell's genome, and they control the ability of DNA to replicate, express itself, and repair itself."

Before we jump into the process, let’s define things first. In the control of gene expression, there are a few key players: the operon, promoter, operator, structural genes, regulatory gene, and regulatory protein. An operon is a group of bacterial structural genes and sequences that control transcription of those genes into a single m RNA. Within the operon is then a promoter, a sequence that RNA polymerase can recognize and bind to. An operator, which is the place where a regulatory protein can bind to turn the operon on or off. And structural genes, the sequences that encode for protein. A regulatory gene, located outside of the operon, is a sequence that makes the regulatory protein which as we said before binds to the operator This will all make more sense in a bit! So back to talking about the actual gene expression! There are 2 types of transcriptional control."

"text": "Operons An operon is a cluster of coordinately regulated genes. It includes structural genes (generally encoding enzymes), regulatory genes (encoding, e.g. activators or repressors) and regulatory sites (such as promoters and operators). The type of control is defined by the response of the operon when no regulatory protein is present. In the case of negative control, the genes in the operon are expressed unless they are switched off by a repressor protein. Thus the operon will be turned on constitutively (the genes will be expressed) when the repressor in inactivated. In the case of positive control, the genes are expressed only when an active regulator protein, e.g. an activator, is present. Thus the operon will be turned off when the positive regulatory protein is absent or inactivated. Table 4.1.1. Positive vs. negative control Catabolic versus Biosynthetic Operons Catabolic pathways catalyze the breakdown of nutrients (the substrate for the pathway) to generate energy, or more precisely ATP, the energy currency of the cell. In the absence of the substrate, there is no reason for the catabolic enzymes to be present, and the operon encoding them is repressed."

"text": "Print this Page Regulation and Control of Metabolism in Bacteria (page 2) (This chapter has 5 pages)© Kenneth Todar, Ph DFeedback Inhibition Feedback inhibition (or end product inhibition) is a mechanism for the inhibition of preformed enzymes that is seen primarily in the regulation of whole biosynthetic pathways, e.g. pathways involved in the synthesis of the amino acids. Such pathways usually involve many enzymatic steps, and the final (end) product is many steps removed from the starting substrate. By this mechanism, the final product is able to feed back to the first step in the pathway and to regulate its own biosynthesis. In feedback inhibition, the end product of a biosynthetic pathway inhibits the activity of the first enzyme that is unique to the pathway, thus controlling production of the end product. The first enzyme in the pathway is an allosteric enzyme. Its allosteric site will bind to the end product (e.g. amino acid) of the pathway which alters its active site so that it cannot mediate the enzymatic reaction which initiates the pathway. Other enzymes in the pathway remain active, but they do not see their substrates. The pathway is shut down as long as adequate amounts of the end product are present. If the end product is used up or disappears, the inhibition is relieved, the enzyme regains its activity, and the organism can resume synthesis of the end product. Thus, if a E. coli bacterium swims out of a glucose minimal medium into milk or some other medium rich in growth factors, the bacterium can stop synthesizing any of the essential metabolites that are made available directly from the new environment."

It can synthesize every organic molecule it needs from glucose and a number of inorganic ions. Many of the genes in E. coli are expressed constitutively; that is, they are always turned \"\"on\"\". Others, however, are active only when their products are needed by the cell, so their expression must be regulated. Two examples: If the amino acid tryptophan ( Trp) is added to the culture, the bacteria soon stop producing the five enzymes previously needed to synthesize Trp from intermediates produced during the respiration of glucose. In this case, the presence of the products of enzyme action represses enzyme synthesis. Conversely, adding a new substrate to the culture medium may induce the formation of new enzymes capable of metabolizing that substrate. If we take a culture of E. coli that is feeding on glucose and transfer some of the cells to a medium contain lactose instead, a revealing sequence of events takes place. At first the cells are quiescent: they do not metabolize the lactose, their other metabolic activities decline, and cell division ceases. Soon, however, the culture begins growing rapidly again with the lactose being rapidly consumed."

For vocabulary, see Glossary of gene expression terms. Regulation of gene expression by a hormone receptor Diagram showing at which stages in the DNA-m RNA-protein pathway expression can be controlled Regulation of gene expression includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products ( protein or RNA ), and is informally termed gene regulation. Sophisticated programs of gene expression are widely observed in biology, for example to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental stimuli, or adapt to new food sources. Virtually any step of gene expression can be modulated, from transcriptional initiation, to RNA processing, and to the post-translational modification of a protein. Often, one gene regulator controls another, and so on, in a gene regulatory network. Gene regulation is essential for viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes as it increases the versatility and adaptability of an organism by allowing the cell to express protein when needed. Although as early as 1951, Barbara Mc Clintock showed interaction between two genetic loci, Activator ( Ac) and Dissociator ( Ds ), in the color formation of maize seeds, the first discovery of a gene regulation system is widely considered to be the identification in 1961 of the lac operon, discovered by François Jacob and Jacques Monod, in which some enzymes involved in lactose metabolism are expressed by E. coli only in the presence of lactose and absence of glucose. In multicellular organisms, gene regulation drives cellular differentiation and morphogenesis in the embryo, leading to the creation of different cell types that possess different gene expression profiles from the same genome sequence."

The best example of genetic control is the well studied system of milk sugar (lactose) inducible catabolism in the human symbiote, Escherichia coli . The lac operon includes 3 structural genes ( lac Z , lac Y and lac A) that are transcribed in unison. Located near the lac operon, is the lac I gene regulates the operon by producing the lac repressor protein. Both the regulatory gene and the lac operon itself contain... 1) promoters (P l and P lac) at which RNA polymerase binds and 2) terminators at which transcription halts. P lac overlaps with the operator site (O) to which the active form of the repressor protein binds. The operon is transcribed into a single long molecule of m RNA that codes for all three polypeptides. Transcription of the lac operon is down-regulated through the binding of the lac repressor to the operator. In the absence of lactose, the repressor remains bound to the operator and preventing access of the RNA polymerase to the promoter. Transcription is blocked and the operon is repressed."

"text": "Discuss different components of prokaryotic gene regulation The DNA of prokaryotes is organized into a circular chromosome supercoiled in the nucleoid region of the cell cytoplasm. Proteins that are needed for a specific function are encoded together in blocks called operons. For example, all of the genes needed to use lactose as an energy source are coded next to each other in the lactose (or lac) operon. In prokaryotic cells, there are three types of regulatory molecules that can affect the expression of operons: repressors, activators, and inducers. Repressors are proteins that suppress transcription of a gene in response to an external stimulus, whereas activators are proteins that increase the transcription of a gene in response to an external stimulus. Finally, inducers are small molecules that either activate or repress transcription depending on the needs of the cell and the availability of substrate. Learning Objectives Understand the basic steps in gene regulation in prokaryotic cells Explain the roles of repressors in negative gene regulation Explain the role of activators and inducers in positive gene regulation Gene Regulation in Prokaryotes In bacteria and archaea, structural proteins with related functions—such as the genes that encode the enzymes that catalyze the many steps in a single biochemical pathway—are usually encoded together within the genome in a block called an operon and are transcribed together under the control of a single promoter. This forms a polycistronic transcript (Figure 1). The promoter then has simultaneous control over the regulation of the transcription of these structural genes because they will either all be needed at the same time, or none will be needed.

A single gene can be regulated in a range of ways, from altering the number of copies of RNA that are transcribed, to the temporal control of when the gene is transcribed. This control allows the cell or organism to respond to a variety of intra- and extracellular signals and thus mount a response. Some examples of this include producing the m RNA that encode enzymes to adapt to a change in a food source, producing the gene products involved in cell cycle specific activities, and producing the gene products responsible for cellular differentiation in higher eukaryotes, as studied in evolutionary developmental biology. The regulation of transcription is a vital process in all living organisms. It is orchestrated by transcription factors and other proteins working in concert to finely tune the amount of RNA being produced through a variety of mechanisms. Prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms have very different strategies of accomplishing control over transcription, but some important features remain conserved between the two. Most importantly is the idea of combinatorial control, which is that any given gene is likely controlled by a specific combination of factors to control transcription. In a hypothetical example, the factors A and B might regulate a distinct set of genes from the combination of factors A and C. This combinatorial nature extends to complexes of far more than two proteins, and allows a very small subset (less than 10%) of the genome to control the transcriptional program of the entire cell.

"text": "\"Key points: The trp operon, found in E. coli bacteria, is a group of genes that encode biosynthetic enzymes for the amino acid tryptophan. The trp operon is expressed (turned \"\"on\"\") when tryptophan levels are low and repressed (turned \"\"off\"\") when they are high. The trp operon is regulated by the trp repressor. When bound to tryptophan, the trp repressor blocks expression of the operon. Tryptophan biosynthesis is also regulated by attenuation (a mechanism based on coupling of transcription and translation). What is the trpoperon? Bacteria such as Escherichia coli (a friendly inhabitant of our gut) need amino acids to survive—because, like us, they need to build proteins. One of the amino acids they need is tryptophan. If tryptophan is available in the environment, E. coli will take it up and use it to build proteins. However, E. coli can also make their own tryptophan using enzymes that are encoded by five genes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The lac operon (lactose operon) is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in Escherichia coli and many other enteric bacteria. Although glucose is the preferred carbon source for most bacteria, the lac operon allows for the effective digestion of lactose when glucose is not available through the activity of beta-galactosidase. [ 1] Gene regulation of the lac operon was the first genetic regulatory mechanism to be understood clearly, so it has become a foremost example of prokaryotic gene regulation. It is often discussed in introductory molecular and cellular biology classes for this reason. This lactose metabolism system was used by Jacob and Monod to determine how a cell knows which enzyme to synthesize. Their work on the lac operon won them the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1965. [ 1]Bacterial operons are polycistronic transcripts that are able to produce multiple proteins from one m RNA transcript. In this case, when lactose is required as a sugar source for the bacterium, the three genes of the lac operon can be expressed and their subsequent proteins translated: lac Z, lac Y, and lac A. The gene product of lac Z is β-galactosidase which cleaves lactose, a disaccharide, into glucose and galactose. lac Y encodes Beta-galactoside permease, a protein which becomes embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane to enable transport of lactose into the cell. Finally, lac A encodes β-galactoside transacetylase."

People who have had heart attacks or who have sleep disorders and infants who are born prematurely might also need respiratory therapy to help them breathe more easily. They also provide emergency care to patients suffering from heart attacks, drowning or shock. Career opportunities will remain good in the foreseeable future, projected to grow 19% between 2012 and 2022. This growth is largely due to the growing percentage of older people, who have higher incidences of respiratory conditions and illnesses like emphysema, chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. These respiratory disorders can permanently damage the lungs or restrict lung function. Respiratory therapists’ knowledge of the scientific principles underlying cardiopulmonary physiology and pathophysiology, as well as biomedical engineering and technology, enables them to effectively assess, educate and treat patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Critical thinking, patient/environment assessment skills and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines enable respiratory therapists to develop and implement effective care plans, protocols and disease management programs.

Generally, respiratory therapists earn more and have more responsibilities and technical expertise than respiratory therapy technicians. Education and Licensing The specific requirements for licensing vary by state; however, most states require both respiratory therapists and technicians to be licensed and meet the minimum educational standards. Generally, respiratory therapists may enter the field with only a two-year degree in respiratory therapy. In most states licensure is granted after passing a state or National Board for Respiratory Care Certified Respiratory Therapist or the Registered Respiratory Therapist exam.

Once he's finished he travels back to the RT cave and continues reading his novel or blogging, blogging on the Internet, or some other similar activity He finds it easier just to do the treatment than to challenge himself or the doctor or nurse They might recommend no treatment be given and be called a half hour later to do one anyway They are treated as ancillary staff A respiratory therapists is what we read about at AARC.org. They are actual therapists and not just doers They work with doctors and nurses in making decisions to benefit the patient. Diagnose and make treatment decisions for breathing disorders Interview and exam patients and relay our opinions to physicians and nurses Analyze lung sounds and ABGs and EKGs and make recommendations to the benefit of the patient Managing ventilators and other airway equipment Educating patients and families about lung disease\\Their recommendations are respected They are treated as professionals I find that most respiratory therapists are treated as neb jockey respiratory therapists as opposed to the ideal respiratory therapist respiratory therapist (if you get my drift).

"text": "What is a Rheumatologist? A rheumatologist is an internist or pediatrician who received further training in the diagnosis (detection) and treatment of musculoskeletal disease and systemic autoimmune conditions commonly referred to as rheumatic diseases. These diseases can affect the joints, muscles, and bones causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system sends inflammation to areas of the body when it is not needed causing damage/symptoms. These diseases can also affect the eyes, skin, nervous system, and internal organs. Rheumatologists treat joint disease similar to orthopedists but do not perform surgeries. Common diseases treated by rheumatologists include osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic back pain, tendinitis, and lupus. Many rheumatologists also conduct research to find a cause of and better treatment of a rheumatic disease. How is a rheumatologist trained? Rheumatologists must complete four years of medical or osteopathic education followed by three years of residency training in either internal medicine or pediatrics."

Many people go from doctor to doctor for years before being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Here are some things you can do to help your doctors help you: Keep a record of symptoms- keep track of your symptoms, when they began, what helped or didn’t, any treatments you have tried and who prescribed them. Keep copies of your medical records - by law, you are entitled to your health records. Keeping copies of consults, lab and x-ray results as well as other pertinent information can save time and money, and prevent you from having to have the same tests repeated more than once. You can request your records; there may be a small fee charged for copying fees and you may have to sign a release. Don’t be difficult- It can be frustrating seeing numerous doctors and yet still not receiving a diagnosis. Don’t let your frustration show. Do not disparage other health care professionals.

Watch this for help finding the right doctor. Transcript: Finding a doctor to diagnose and treat your fibromyalgia is not always easy. Fibromyalgia can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and not all doctors are familiar with it. Current research shows it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that trigger an abnormal pain signaling process in the brain and spinal cord. The result is a “pain volume” that’s turned up too high. So finding a doctor who understands fibromyalgia and can help you reduce your pain is important. There’s NOT just one type of doctor or specialist who may be qualified to treat the condition. Whether you go to your general practitioner or seek out a specialist, make sure the doctor has treated many other cases of fibromyalgia and is both interested in and knowledgeable about the condition."

Ask Your Own Neurology Question I am looking for a diagnosis - over 30 years of gradually increasing pain, weakness, gastroparesis, chronic pseudo intestinal obstruction, paralyzed right breathing diaphragm, etc. I have seen neurologists, rheumatologists, and gastroenterologists, and I am on serious pain meds - but no treatment or diagnosis of the CAUSE. They do tests, and say - \"\"Nope, not caused by something in my specialty.\"\""

Rheumatology is a specialty that focuses on joint, muscle and bone disorders, including autoimmune diseases (diseases of the immune system). Most conditions a rheumatologist treats are characterized by pain and inflammation, as well as inhibited movement. These conditions can be very serious and often evolve over time, and are often difficult to diagnose. Therefore, it may take several visits to a rheumatologist before arriving at a diagnosis."

"text": "New Fibromyalgia Blood Test is 99% Accurate Posted on July 30, 2013 in Diseases & Conditions, Fibromyalgia A new blood test for fibromyalgia is more accurate than previously thought and will not confuse the chronic pain disorder with other diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, according to the physician who developed the test. “We have not seen any overlap between the biomarkers in fibromyalgia and the immune system patterns of patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. That really takes the air out of the sails of any naysayers that are out there,” said Bruce Gillis, MD, founder and CEO of Epic Genetics, a bioresearch company based in Santa Monica, CA. Image courtesy of Epic Genetics Epic Genetics introduced the FM test in March, calling it the first definitive blood test for fibromyalgia, a poorly understood disorder that is characterized by deep tissue pain, fatigue, headaches, depression and lack of sleep. Test results are usually available in about a week. The FM test looks for protein molecules in the blood called chemokines and cytokines, which are produced by white blood cells. Fibromyalgia patients have fewer chemokines and cytokines in their blood, according to Gillis, and as a result have weaker immune systems than normal patients. Critics have said the same immune system biomarkers can be found in people with other illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis, making the blood test unreliable. However, in new research involving over 300 patients with either fibromyalgia, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, Gillis said only fibromyalgia patients were found to have below normal levels of chemokines and cytokines. “They do not have the same immune system biomarkers."

Broadly speaking an orthopedist specializes in the bones of the body, while a rheumatologist is more concerned with inflammatory joint diseases. Another option would be to see physiotherapist, a paramedical professional, who helps increase the movements of a joint, usually after an injury od disease has damages it.

Daniel Clauw, MD, rheumatologist and director of the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor says if inflammation is the main driver of your pain -- probably not. “ A rheumatologist is the best person to manage that kind of pain because they are the ones who really have the expertise and know what medications need to be added to a regimen to get inflammation under control,” he explains. But if your inflammation is well managed (or your arthritis-related disease is not inflammatory) and you are still having pain, a pain clinic or pain management center may be your next step.

"text": "While large snakes can make impressive pets, most people do not have enough space for 6- or 8-foot-long ones. However, several species remain small and thrive in modest-size cages. Most king and milk snakes require only 3 or 4 square feet of cage space, and some boas and pythons are comfortable in cages of such size as well. For those seeking truly tiny pets, several insectivorous species pack a lot of personality into foot-long bodies. Lurking in the Leaf Litter Ringneck (Diadophis punctatus ssp. ), brown (Storeria dekayi ssp.) and red-bellied snakes (Storeria occipitomaculata) are all very small species that inhabit the leaf litter of forests and suburban areas. Ringneck snakes are the largest of the group, sometimes approaching 18 inches in length; the other two species rarely reach 12 inches. These small snakes may have small fangs and weak venom to incapacitate their prey, but they are generally inoffensive, and regarded as harmless to humans. All three species feed on a variety of invertebrates; however, ringneck snakes consume small snakes and salamanders as well."

"text": "Snakes of New Hampshire Report Your Reptile Sightings See also: Snakes of NH from NH Wildlife Journal There are 11 species of snakes that are native to New Hampshire. Some of these species, such as the garter snake are common and widespread across the state. Other species like the timber rattlesnake are extremely rare and are now state protected. Five of the 11 species (i.e., timber rattlesnake, eastern hognose snake, northern black racer, smooth green snake, and ribbon snake) were identified as species in greatest need of conservation in New Hampshire’s Wildlife Action Plan completed in the fall of 2005. Overall, snakes are poorly studied and basic distribution and life history information is lacking. The New Hampshire Fish & Game maintains a database of all reptile and amphibian reports through its Reptile and Amphibian Reporting Program (RAARP). The first step to reporting a sighting is accurately identifying the species. Information and photographs were compiled for all of New Hampshire’s native snakes to aid in this identification process. PLEASE DO NOT KILL SNAKES. New Hampshire has only one venomous snake, the timber rattlesnake, which is protected by law."

"text": "Life Span of the Ringneck Parakeet By Barbara Bean-Mellinger African and Indian ringneck parakeets in captivity can live to be 20 to 30 years old. There are some reports of ringnecks living up to 50 years. Taking conscious steps to keep them healthy and happy is the key to a long life span. Pay Attention Though ringnecks don't usually like to cuddle, they do thrive on interaction with people. With gentle handling and patience, they'll sit on their humans' shoulders. They form strong bonds with their human companions, and many imitate their speech. Playtime Toys that can be rotated in and out of use will keep a ringneck from becoming bored. They aren't big chewers, but toys with bells, ropes and wood are good choices. A play stand outside the cage will keep them amused, too. Varied Diet A well-rounded diet helps a ringneck parakeet live a long, healthy life."

"text": "\"While it is true that snakes often hide in holes, they do not construct their holes themselves -- these are primarily the former holes of rodents, turtles and frogs. Additionally, snakes hide inside tree hollows, or under the leaf litter, rocks or bark. Digging Behavior Most terrestrial snakes can burrow through leaf litter or exceptionally loose soil, but few snakes can dig into packed earth. Some snakes native to areas with loose substrates are effective excavators, including the sand boas (Eryx sp.) of Asia and Africa as well as womas (Aspidites ramsayi) and black-headed pythons (Aspidites melanocephalus) from the deserts of Australia. However, in many cases, the loose sand does not retain the structure of a proper burrow -- they essentially bury themselves. Common Snake Retreats Snakes spend much of their lives hiding from predators, and they use a variety of micro-habitats to accomplish this. Scarlet kingsnakes (Lampropeltis elapsoides) like to live under the bark of dead pine trees, while black rat snakes (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) live in the holes of hardwood trees high above the ground. Ringneck snakes (Diadophis punctatus) and brown snakes (Storeria dekayi) hide under a variety of surface objects like bark, logs or rocks, though they will also burrow deep into leaf litter. Characteristics of Snake Holes Snakes prefer snug accommodations that make them feel safe."

Hints of a turquoise sheen can be seen on the bird during overcast days. When the bird is in full flight, the wings and tail feathers will showcase a bright yellow that is only visible underneath the parrot when in flight. Their beaks are cherry red and mature ringnecks will have yellow and black eyes. These birds are sexually dimorphic, which means the birds can visibly be sexed by reviewing their colored feathers. The males develop a black ring between 18 months and by three years the ring is highlighted with pink and blue. The females do not have the ring; however, they do show a lighter green ring that can be seen upon closer inspection. The normal green Indian Ringneck today has been bred to encompass many mutations. These birds can be purchased in solid colors such as blue, yellow, white, or gray. Along with these solid colors, there are many other mutations such as cobolts, clear tails, pieds, cinnamons, and lacewings just to name a few."

Carson · 1 decade ago5 0 Comment Black Snake With Yellow Rings Source (s):https://shrink.im/a8snafenny · 2 years ago0 0 Comment The thing that many of the experts here are missing is that with the popularity of snakes, it could be an escaped non-indigenous species. As a general rule, if you don't know for sure what kind of snake it is, be careful when you handle it. Leave it alone and it will probably leave on it's own, or at the very least, try it's best to stay out of your way. You are way too big for it to consider as food, and if you don't go around trying to pick it up, it isn't likely to bite you. I know that snakes can elicit feelings of fear/revulsion in some people, but settle down and use your head. Even it it was POISONOUS do you honestly think it would chase you around and try to bite you?hoodoowoman · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment The ring-necked snake or ringneck snake, Diadophis punctatus, is a species of colubrid snake found throughout much of the United States, central Mexico, and southeastern Canada."

History: The Ringneck Pheasant ( Phasianus colchicus) is a non-native animal to North America. They were imported from Asia (China) in the 1800's, but there were a few pairs of Blackneck Pheasants seen in 1733. Now, they are the most succesful non-native gamebird in America! They have adapted to life in the western states in large fields. The Ringneck was introduced into South Dakota in 1898, and can be recognized by many due to it's colorful plumage. Stocking efforts has kept this breed here to stay and efforts to preserving the land in which they live on.

Credit: Don Richards CC-BY-2.0Full Answer Snake eggs are covered in leathery shells that get larger as the baby grows inside. When it is time to hatch, the baby snake uses an egg tooth to break out of its shell. This tooth falls out after birth. Most female snakes leave their eggs shortly after laying them somewhere safe, such as in a hole, burrow or hollow log."

There is though a pretty persistant claim among the older (said respectfully)folks here that black snakes and copperheads interbreed. Is there any truth to this?
