"text": "\"What You Should Know Print Rising Rates and Your Investments What You Should Know The bond markets are extremely active, with interest rates constantly changing in response to a number of factors including changes in the supply and demand of credit, Federal Reserve policy, fiscal policy, exchange rates, economic conditions, market psychology and, above all, changes in expectations about inflation. Currently, rising interest rates and expectations for economic recovery are impacting bond prices. As interest rates change, so do the values of all bonds in the marketplace. If you are thinking about buying bonds, or have recently bought some, you need to be aware of the effect of rising rates on your holdings. Here are some questions you should consider. Question Now that interest rates have started to rise, how will that affect bonds? Answer Interest rates, which recently hovered at their lowest levels in 40 years, are rising. Just as bond prices go up when yields go down, the prices of bonds you own now will generally drop as yields—interest rates—go up. Question When rates go up, do all bonds lose the same value? Answer No, changes in interest rates don't affect all bonds equally."

"text": "Economic Terms Real Estate How Do Bonds Affect Mortgage Interest Rates? Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated April 26, 2017Bonds affect mortgage interest rates because they compete for the same type of investors. They are both attractive to investors who want a fixed and stable return in exchange for low risk. There are three reasons bonds are low risk. First, they’re loans to large organizations, such as cities, companies and countries. They are more likely to pay back the loans than individuals. Second, investors have good reason to believe a specific bond is low risk. That’s because bond rating agencies study each company and bond. They report on the safety of these products. Third, bonds can be resold on a public market."

Think again Nation Nov 24, 2014 12:49 PM EDTEditor’s Note: By all accounts, the Federal Reserve ended its bond buying program, known as quantitative easing, at its policy meeting at the end of last month. Over six years, the central bank bought $4.5 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities and Treasury bonds. But since the beginning of this year, the Fed has been gradually drawing down its purchases by $10 billion a month to now, zero. It’s not that simple, though, says economist Terry Burnham. The Fed is continuing what he calls “Stealth QE,” or the purchase of more bonds with the interest the Fed earns on the bonds it has already purchased. In order to stop that, he writes, the Fed would need to shrink its balance sheet by the amount of interest that it earns. Burnham, a long-time critic of the Fed’s bond-buying program, is a former Goldman Sachs trader, biotech entrepreneur, money manager and economics professor at Harvard’s Business School and Kennedy School of Government. He now teaches at Chapman College. A frequent contributor to this page, he’s most famous for his prediction that the Dow will hit 5,000 before it hits 20,000.—"

We have a quick Q and A on the bonds to help you decide if they would be a good investment for you. What are pensioner bonds? They’re special savings bonds for over-65s paying a high rate of interest and available from the Government’s savings body, the NS&I. Bonds are effectively fixed rate savings account giving you a guaranteed rate for a fixed period. There are two versions of the pensioner bonds: a one-year bond paying 2.8% AER and a three-year bond paying 4% AER. You need a minimum of £500 to apply for a bond, and can put up to £10,000 in each of the two bonds to a maximum of £20,000 per person, or £40,000 per couple. You can withdraw cash from the bonds early, but you will pay a penalty equivalent to 90 days’ interest. How do I apply?"

"text": "\"Inflation and Debt John H. Cochrane Fall 2011F or several years, a heated debate has raged among economists and policymakers about whether we face a serious risk of inflation. That debate has focused largely on the Federal Reserve — especially on whether the Fed has been too aggressive in increasing the money supply, whether it has kept interest rates too low, and whether it can be relied on to reverse course if signs of inflation emerge. But these questions miss a grave danger. As a result of the federal government's enormous debt and deficits, substantial inflation could break out in America in the next few years. If people become convinced that our government will end up printing money to cover intractable deficits, they will see inflation in the future and so will try to get rid of dollars today — driving up the prices of goods, services, and eventually wages across the entire economy. This would amount to a \"\"run\"\" on the dollar. As with a bank run, we would not be able to tell ahead of time when such an event would occur. But our economy will be primed for it as long as our fiscal trajectory is unsustainable. Needless to say, such a run would unleash financial chaos and renewed recession. It would yield stagflation, not the inflation-fueled boomlet that some economists hope for."

Scott Gamm Sep 9, 2015 3:57 PM EDTNEW YORK (The Street) -- Higher interest rates are on the way, which could be a game changer for retirees. The Federal Reserve is looking to raise short-term interest rates, which have stayed close to zero since December 2008, following the aftermath of the financial crisis. While the timing of the Fed's rate hike is still up for debate, retirees will feel the affects of higher interest rates in these three ways.1. Fixed Income Rising interest rates threaten bond values, as prices and yields move in opposite directions. Retirees holding bonds run the risk of losing principal as interest rates rise, should they sell their bonds before they mature. \"\" Most retirees hold substantial amounts of bond mutual funds in order to be more conservative and these could potentially lose principal as rates rise,\"\" said Paul Taghibagi, senior partner at Los Angeles-based Signature Estate and Investment Advisors.

"text": "\"Owning a bond is, essentially, like possessing a stream of future cash payments. Those cash payments are usually made in the form of periodic interest payments and the return of principal when the bond matures. In the absence of credit risk (the risk of default), the value of that stream of future cash payments is simply a function of your required return based on your inflation expectations. If that sounds a little confusing and technical, don't worry, this article will break down bond pricing, define the term \"\"bond yield ,\"\" and demonstrate how inflation expectations and interest rates determine the value of a bond. SEE: Managing Interest Rate Risk Measures of Risk There are two primary risks that must be assessed when investing in bonds: interest rate risk and credit risk. Though our focus is on how interest rates affect bond pricing (otherwise known as interest rate risk), it's also important that a bond investor be aware of credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk of changes in a bond's price due to changes in prevailing interest rates. Changes in short-term versus long-term interest rates can affect various bonds in different ways, which we'll discuss below. Credit risk, meanwhile, is the risk that the issuer of a bond will not make scheduled interest or principal payments. The probability of a negative credit event or default affects a bond's price – the higher the risk of a negative credit event occurring, the higher the interest rate investors will demand for assuming that risk."

"text": "Home | CEE | 2nd edition | Inflation E conomists use the term “inflation” to denote an ongoing rise in the general level of prices quoted in units of money. The magnitude of inflation—the inflation rate—is usually reported as the annualized percentage growth of some broad index of money prices. With U. S. dollar prices rising, a one-dollar bill buys less each year. Inflation thus means an ongoing fall in the overall purchasing power of the monetary unit. Inflation rates vary from year to year and from currency to currency. Since 1950, the U. S. dollar inflation rate, as measured by the December-to-December change in the U. S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), has ranged from a low of −0.7 percent (1954) to a high of 13.3 percent (1979). Since 1991, the rate has stayed between 1.6 percent and 3.3 percent per year. Since 1950 at least eighteen countries have experienced episodes of hyperinflation, in which the CPI inflation rate has soared above 50 percent per month. In recent years, Japan has experienced negative inflation, or “deflation,” of around 1 percent per year, as measured by the Japanese CPI. Central banks in most countries today profess concern with keeping inflation low but positive."

"text": "\"Can Bond Funds Make Sense When Interest Rates Rise? Fixed Income Bonds By Rob Williams November 17, 2016Key Points Although the value of most bonds and bond funds fall when interest rates increase, not all bond funds react the same way. A look at how various bond fund categories performed in prior rate-hike cycles can help your fixed income strategy. Short-term bond funds have performed better than intermediate-term, long-term or multisector funds during the past three rate-tightening cycles. Rising interest rates can pose a challenge for bond investors. All else being equal, when rates rise, bond prices fall (and vice versa). That means a portfolio of bonds or bond funds could see some price swings when interest rates start to move. But keep these swings in perspective, and keep concerns about rising rates in check if you can. Even though we’ve seen a spike in interest rates in the aftermath of the U. S. presidential election, and markets believe the Federal Reserve may raise short-term rates again in December 2016 or early 2017, the fear about the impact on bond funds—based on data from past rate-hike cycles—may be overstated. We looked at how major Morningstar bond fund categories performed in the last three major rising-rate cycles, and how they’ve performed since the Fed rate increase in December 2015 (which was the first Fed hike since 2006)."

Shouldn’t you know how lenders come up with them before you start shopping for a home loan and buying real estate? Put simply, the more you know, the better you’ll be able to negotiate! Or call out the nonsense…Many homeowners tend to just go along with whatever their bank or mortgage broker puts in front of them, often without researching mortgage lender rates or inquiring about how it all works. Whether you’re interested in rates or not, it’s wise to get a better understanding of how mortgage rates move and why. One of the most important aspects to successfully obtaining a mortgage is securing a low interest rate. After all, the lower the rate, the lower the monthly mortgage payment each month."

Demand for money is a question of how much of your wealth you wish to hold in the form of money at any point in time. ( Supply of money is also a stock concept. ) Your demand for money is how much of your wealth you wish to hold as money at any moment in time. It is thus a stock demand. Your wealth is a stock, and you must decide how to allocate that stock of wealth between different kinds of assets -- for example a house, income-earning securities, a checking account, and cash.

A new route to investing direct in companies has opened up in recent years from the retail bond market as well as the more risky mini bonds. Meanwhile, many corporate bond funds have done better than expected as interest rates have stayed lower for longer. We explain why investors like corporate bonds and how to invest What is a corporate bond? Corporate bonds are issued as a way of raising money for businesses - it's essentially a certificate of debt issued by major companies When you buy bonds you are lending money to a company in exchange for an IOU. The IOU has a term and at maturity (typically five or ten years) the sum invested is returned in full. The only thing that might stop this is if the company actually goes bust.

"text": "\"TIPS in a Rising Interest Rate Environment †Scott Cameron, CFAPrincipal INTRODUCTIONWith interest rates at historically low levels, many people assume that interest rates must eventually rise. This belief has investors focused on the impact that rising rates may have on their fixed income portfolios. The primary measure of interest rate risk is duration. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates and is measured in years. Morningstar Category Average Effective Duration US OE High Yield 3.74US OE Inflation-Protected Bond 6.36US OE Intermediate Government 4.23US OE Intermediate-Term Bond 4.85US OE Multi-Sector Bond 4.36US OE Short Government 1.97US OE Short-Term Bond 2.29US OE World Bond 5.41Source: Morningstar Direct, Data as of March 31, 2013As retirement plan committees look at their investment menus, inflation-protected bonds stand out as an asset class with high duration and the potential for the greatest negative impact from rising interest rates. The table to the right shows the average duration for mutual funds in a variety of fixed income categories that are common within the retirement plan investment menus. So as committees evaluate their investment menus, the question arises as to whether it makes sense to include inflation-protected bonds when they carry so much interest rate risk. Giving credence to this concern is a transition that Vanguard has recently made; transitioning the inflation-protected bond allocation within their target date fund series from a portfolio with duration of 8.45 years to a newly launched Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund with duration of 2.4 years. Unfortunately, there is no simple black and white answer. As with most investment decisions, the choice is dependent on the specific objectives and the tolerance for different types of risks within a portfolio."

Beginner Bonds If you buy a new bond and plan to keep it to maturity, changing prices, interest rates, and yields typically do not affect you, unless the bond is called. But investors don't have to buy bonds directly from the issuer and hold them until maturity; instead, bonds can be bought from and sold to other investors on what's called the secondary market. Bond prices on the secondary market can be higher or lower than the face value of the bond because the current economic environment and market conditions will affect the price investors are actually willing to pay for the bond. And the bond's yield, or the expected return on the bond, may also change. How price is measured Price is important when you intend to trade bonds with other investors. A bond's price is what investors are willing to pay for an existing bond. In newspapers and statements you receive, bond prices are provided in terms of percentage of face (par) value.

One cash flow is generally fixed, while the other is variable, that is, based on a a benchmark interest rate, floating currency exchange rate, or index price.

This rate represents the cost of the amount borrowed over the term of the loan. Any additional costs or fees that are associated with this loan will be included in the APR. At first glance, credit card agreements and loan terms can be confusing. There can be a variance in transaction fees, interest rate structure, and penalties. The APR is a standardized calculation that gives the borrower that absolute bottom line amount for which they are responsible. This information can then be used to compare rates and find the best options with potential lenders. Credit card companies and lenders are required by law to disclose the APR to customers, and give clear detail on the actual rates applied to their agreements. You will often see credit card companies advertising low monthly interest rates, but they must also disclose the APR (example: 1.9% per month over 12 months = 22.8% APR) before any agreements are signed."

The band's musical style evolved originally from black metal to a cleaner and more \"\"produced\"\" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic metal and other metal genres. Their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by Gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. The band has gone through many lineup changes, with vocalist Dani Filth being the only constant member. The band has broken free from its original niche by courting mainstream publicity. This increased accessibility has brought coverage from the likes of Kerrang! and MTV, along with frequent main stage appearances at major festivals such as Ozzfest, Download and even the mainstream Sziget Festival. They have sometimes been perceived as Satanic by casual observers, [1] even though their outright lyrical references to Satanism are few and far between; their use of Satanic imagery has arguably always been more for shock value than any seriously-held beliefs.

This vast expanse of the Mojave Desert gets less than 2 inches of rain per year, the daytime temperatures can reach upwards of 120 degrees, and the landscape is so salt-laden and windswept that it’s nearly impossible for anything to take root. But there’s more life in Death Valley than you’d imagine. Here are 10 stubborn plants and animals that refuse to retire to greener pastures.1.

It spends most of its day napping underground, only venturing out after sunset. Of course, taking advantage of the cool nighttime temps is a common trick among desert mammals. What’s not common is how the kangaroo rat has adapted to deal with the scarcity of water: It never drinks the stuff! Special organs inside its nose allow it to absorb moisture directly from the air, and highly efficient kidneys keep its body hydrated. In fact, the kangaroo rat is so well adapted to the dry climate that even after living in captivity for years, it will still refuse water.2."

Feeding a Robin Step 1Provide mealworms, grubs or earthworms. Robins rely on these as their primary food and protein source. Robins feed on the ground in open areas. Find a spot near shrubs or thick bushes so that they can hide quickly if a predator, such as if a cat shows up. Step 2Chop up sweet fruits such as berries and apples. Make sure to replenish daily."

There are two species of roadrunners known as the greater roadrunner and the lesser roadrunner. Both species are found in Central America and in the southern parts of North America. The name comes from the fact that these birds prefer to run than fly. They have been known to reach speeds of 42 km/h (26 mph) while running. They often use this incredible speed to catch their food. Let’s take a look at the diet of these birds. What do roadrunners eat? Roadrunners are omnivores (eat plants and animals) and are opportunistic feeders.

The roadrunner is known for its ability to overpower and swallow a rattlesnake. It picks up the snake in its mouth and flings it in the air.

This really is an age-old question, and it takes time for people to understand (or accept) that a rocket does not need to push against anything to propel itself forward. I believe it, because it works; you had, better; too!I bet you will be flooded in the next few hours with thousands of answers, form well-meaning Quorans who think \"\"Ah, this is a simple one! \"\", and you will find everyone giving you a lecture on his/her version of Newton's Third Law. But I find that a little history goes a long way in understanding why. Historians have it that the Chinese began using rockets from 850 CE (formerly, AD). Hundreds of years before that, they had been experimenting with the chemicals that finally go into the making of gunpowder. By 904 CE, the Chinese began using gunpowder in warfare as incendiary projectiles by this time. These projectiles were known as “flying fires.” They were fired as arrows, grenades, and catapults."

"text": "Propulsion How does propulsion work? Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction? This is the third of Sir Issac Newton's laws of physics, and one that is very important to space flight. Here's how it works. If you push on anything, it pushes back on you. That's why if you lean against the wall, you don't just fall through it. The wall pushes back on you as hard as you push on it, and you and the wall stay in place. If you throw something, you put more force behind it than just leaning on it, so it pushes back with more force. This is hard to observe, because usually, if you throw something away from you, the friction between you and the floor makes resistance to keep you in place. But if you take away the friction and try again, you will move away from the thing you threw as much as it moves away from you."

Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit. More generally, escape velocity is the speed at which the sum of an object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy is equal to zero. Given escape velocity perpendicular to a massive body, the object will move away from the body, slowing forever and approaching but never reaching zero speed. Once escape velocity is achieved, no further impulse need be applied for it to continue in its escape. In other words, if given escape velocity, the object will move away from the other body, continually slowing and will asymptotically approach zero speed as the object's distance approaches infinity, never to return. Since escape velocity depends on the mass of the planet or moon that a spacecraft is blasting off of, a spacecraft leaving the moon's surface could go slower than one blasting off of the Earth, because the moon has less gravity than the Earth. On the other hand, the escape velocity for Jupiter would be many times that of Earth's because Jupiter is so huge and has so much gravity.3.5k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Quora Userpromoted by Honey Have you tried this Amazon trick?

Once there, astronauts are trained to collect information on space, planets, stars and comets. They can also be sent to repair other crafts like the Hubble Space Telescope or the International Space Station. Military missions can be executed in space and satellites can also be launched. Currently, the United States has halted all Space Shuttle missions and will either send unmanned rockets, buy seats on other countries spacecrafts or the private sector will push space exploration. How are the space shuttles constructed? Space shuttles are made up of many different parts, but the three main pieces are the rocket boosters, the fuel tank and the orbiter. There are two rocket boosters that are used to lift the shuttle off the ground and blast into space. The tank on the outside of the shuttle holds fuel to be used by the rocket boosters for launch.

It takes a lot of energy to make such a heavy object (4.5 million pounds at liftoff) go from standing still to blasting off toward space at more than 17,000 miles per hour—in just minutes!For real space launches rocket scientists figured out special fuel to make enough energy to get a heavy shuttle off the ground. You, too, can use the same principle (but without dangerous rocket fuel) to propel a balloon rocket across the room. Background Complex chemical formulas aside, rocket fuel is based on a simple idea: create enough power to push an object forward. This movement works in part because the power created by burning fuel is focused in a single direction. By controlling the direction that force goes, you can create thrust. During a space shuttle launch, the power is focused down, forcing the shuttle to move in the opposite direction. In this activity we are working with air instead of rocket fuel, but we use the same idea of force in one direction moving an object in the opposite direction. When you blow up a balloon, you force extra air into it, creating higher air pressure inside the balloon than outside of it. Given the chance, the air molecules will move to a lower-pressure environment—which is why, if you let go of a balloon's opening without tying it off, air you added will rush out again."

The ground feels firm and solid beneath your feet. Of course, the Earth is rotating, turning once on its axis every day. Fortunately gravity keeps you firmly attached to the planet, and because of momentum, you don’t feel the movement – the same way you don’t feel the speed of a car going down the highway. But how fast does the Earth rotate? You might be surprised to know that a spot on the surface of the Earth is moving at 1675 km/h or 465 meters/second."

"text": "\"By Bobak Ferdowsi Jul 31, 2017 1.5k Justin Metz Space X CEO Elon Musk has made it pretty clear he wants to die on Mars (just not on impact!). He believes we should be a multi-planetary species, and Space X has been marching toward that goal since its founding in 2002. Every new rocket engine, every launch, every trip to the International Space Station is not just a business transaction but also an opportunity to upgrade Space X's engineering savvy and expand its portfolio of launch capabilities. Because before Elon can retire overlooking Olympus Mons, the company is going to need to get a lot of people and payload into space. That's why, before the year is out, they hope to launch what will be the most powerful rocket on the planet: the Falcon Heavy. It will be a challenge unlike any yet faced in the era of private spaceflight. Can the team at Space X pull it off? To get larger things into orbit requires larger launch vehicles—there's a reason the Saturn V used for the Apollo lunar missions was, and remains, the most powerful rocket ever launched. Getting humans to Mars will require even more power, but building a larger vehicle today wouldn't make economic sense—there wouldn't be enough customers to justify the development and cost. ( Consider that Sputnik, the first human-made satellite, was the size of a beach ball, whereas modern satellites used for communication are often the size of a school bus.)"

"text": "\"Outer Space During the 1940's and 50's rockets were achieving higher and higher attitudes with each test. Thus, the question was raised, where does outer space begin? Answering this question depends upon with whom you are discussing the subject. A doctor would state that outer space begins when the human body can no longer survive in the atmosphere. A propulsion engineer might say that space begins when a jet engine which needs air from the atmosphere to function can no longer operate. An aerodynamic engineer might say that space begins when there is not enough of an atmosphere for an aircraft's control surfaces to operate the craft. A bureaucratic agency might have one definition and an international organization may have another. Obviously space does not start at the surface of the Earth because that is where our atmosphere pragmatically begins. If we climb to about 3000 meters (m) (10000 feet) we find that the amount of oxygen present and the pressure with which this oxygen enters our bodies is really not enough to keep a human body operating efficiently, although numerous people have adapted to live and work at this level (e.g. La Paz, Bolivia; Quito, Equador; Katmandu, Nepal). The Federal Aviation Administration has dictated a regulation that whenever pilots fly above 3000 m (10000 feet) they will have supplemental oxygen available for them and their passengers."

Sir Isaac Newton discovered that an object can only be accelerated if a force is applied to it. He came up with a simple equation to describe this: Force = mass x acceleration We need to know one more piece of 'rocket science' to make a rocket work. Newton described that too. He realised that if an object (let's call it A) applies a force to another object (called B), then object (B) automatically applies the same force to object (A). Even though it's true, it's often difficult to accept because, in our everyday lives, other effects (like friction) usually complicate things. It's only at times when we can get rid of most friction (for example by skating on an ice rink) that we perhaps start to appreciate what a smart guy Newton was!What's that got to do with rockets? In the case of rockets, Newton is saying thatforce on the gas=force on the rocket (mass x acceleration) of gas= (mass x acceleration) of rocket Ready to launch a rocket?"

Space X's Falcon Heavy rocket launched successfully on Tuesday, making history as the world's most powerful rocket and putting a provierbial feather in Elon Musk's cap. Containing 27 engines, the rocket has a thrust able to generate more than 5 million pounds, akin to the equivalent of 18 Boeing 747 aircraft. It will be able to lift a payload of more than 64 tons (141,000 pounds) into orbit, twice as much as the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost, according to Space X. The payload the Falcon Heavy is carrying is a Tesla Roadster and a dummy pilot, codenamed Starman, playing the David Bowie song of the same name. The flight was originally scheduled for 1:30 pm EST, but was pushed back to 3:45 pm EST due to wind shear. It fired from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Space X said that when the rocket achieves lift off, \"\"it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two.\"\" The company added that \"\"Falcon Heavy’s side cores are flight-proven—both previously supported independent Falcon 9 missions in 2016. \"\" SPACEX FALCON HEAVY LAUNCH: WHAT, WHEN AND WHYThe second stage of Heavy fired three times and put it on an elliptical orbit around the Sun that extends out as far as Mars.

It was adapted from Homer Hickam Jr.'s autobiography Rocket Boys. Set in 1957, the film follows young Homer (Gyllenhaal) in the mining town of Coalwood, West Virgina, where almost every man works in the mine. After seeing the Sputnik satellite pass over the town while in orbit, Homer becomes inspired to seek a career in rocketry, and leave the town for a new life. He plans to showcase his homemade rockets at the local science fair, though the townsfolk believe he has no chance of succeeding. Despite this, Homer teams up with the school geek and fellow rocket enthusiast Quentin (Chris Owen), and recruits four of his friends into helping him. Though they fail at their first few attempts, they make several successful launches after experimenting with the fuel and rocket design. However, they run into problems with the law when it is believed that one of their rockets landed astray and caused a nearby forest fire, causing them to be disqualified from the science fair. As if this weren't bad enough, Homer's father John (Cooper) is injured in a mining accident, and now Homer must leave school and take up the work in order to support the family, leaving him with no time to help prove that the forest fire was not their fault. However, the boys' science teacher (Dern) has a firm belief in what they're doing, and gives Homer a book on rocket science, from which Homer teaches himself how to calculate a rocket's trajectory, allowing him to find their own rocket and prove the group's innocence."

Credit: NASA Wallops Flight Facility Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion describes what happens when an external force acts upon a massive body at rest or in uniform linear motion. What happens to the body from which that external force is being applied? That situation is described by Newton's Third Law of Motion. It states, \"\"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. \"\" Newton published his laws of motion in 1687, in his seminal work “ Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ” ( Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) in which he formalized the description of how massive bodies move under the influence of external forces. Newton expanded upon the earlier work of Galileo Galilei, who developed the first accurate laws of motion for masses, according to Greg Bothun, a physics professor at the University of Oregon. Galileo's experiments showed that all bodies accelerate at the same rate regardless of size or mass. Newton also critiqued and expanded on the work of Rene Descartes, who also published a set of laws of nature in 1644, two years after Newton was born. Descartes' laws are very similar to Newton’s first law of motion."

"text": "\"rocket Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Idioms, Wikipedia .rocket,any vehicle propelled by ejection of the gases produced by combustion of self-containedpropellants. Rockets are used in fireworks, as military weapons, and in scientific applications such as space exploration. Rocket Propulsion The force acting on a rocket, called its thrust, is equal to the mass ejected per second times thevelocity of the expelled gases. This force can be understood in terms of Newton's third law of motion,which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of a rocket, theaction is the backward-streaming flow of gas and the reaction is the forward motion of the rocket. Another way of understanding rocket propulsion is to realize that tremendous pressure is exerted on the walls of the combustion chamber except where the gas exits at the rear; the resulting unbalancedforce on the front interior wall of the chamber pushes the rocket forward. A common misconception,before space exploration pointed up its obvious fallacy, holds that a rocket accelerates by pushing on the atmosphere behind it. Actually, a rocket operates more efficiently in outer space, since there is no atmospheric friction to impede its motion. Rocket Design The key elements in designing a rocket are the propulsion system, which includes the propellant andthe exit nozzle, and determining the number of stages required to lift the intended payload. Rocketnavigation is usually based on inertial guidance; internal gyroscopes are used to detect changes in theposition and direction of the rocket."

"text": "House is infested by rolly-pollies – what can I do to stop them? Question: My side of my house is being infested by “rolly-pollies”. Is there anything you can do to stop them from coming into my house? ANSWER Sowbugs or pillbugs (rolly pollys) are not actually insects. They are related to crayfish. There is a slight difference between sowbugs and pillbugs: sowbugs cannot roll up into a ball when disturbed, and pillbugs can. They both live and breed in moist, decaying organic material and are usually found in areas around the perimeter of houses. A favorite location is under the bottom logs of the woodpile, under potted plants, or in wet mulch. These animals usually remain outside, but may come inside when their habitat become too wet or even too dry. They enter under doors and around ground-level windows."

"text": "\"Anna Faris Highest Rated: 95% Lost In Translation (2003)Lowest Rated: 4% Movie 43 (2013)Birthday: Nov 29, 1976Birthplace: Baltimore, Maryland Difficult to recognize in her natural blonde state following her turn as a raven-haired Neve Campbell knockoff in Scary Movie (2000), Anna Faris made her professional acting debut at the tender age of nine at Washington's Seattle Repertory Theater. Refining her skills in improvisational theater, Faris later found roles in commercials and small local productions, though her future as an actress came into question as she pursued further education and a move overseas. Born November 29, 1976, Faris was raised in Seattle and studied English Literature at the University of Washington after high school, later moving to London to begin working and writing. Longing to return to her childhood love of acting, Faris took a role in the run-of-the-mill teen slasher pic Lover's Lane (1999). Making the move to Los Angeles in order to pursue an acting career full time, Faris' previous improvisational experiences would soon come in handy as she landed her breakthrough role in the popular Scream-slanted spoof of teen slasher pics, Scary Movie. Of course that role was only the beginning for young Faris, and after returning in Scary Movie 2 the following year she portrayed the co-worker and love interest of the titular character in director Lucky Mc Kee's offbeat sleeper May. A supporting role in the Rob Schneider comedy The Hot Chick was followed by the little-seen Sheer Bliss in 2002, and the following year Faris once again scored a hit with her portrayal of a self absorbed starlet in Sofia Coppola's critically acclaimed Lost in Translation. Though it may have been something of a given that Faris would return to the screen for Scary Movie 3 in 2003, many longtime fans were surprised to see her sporting her original blonde locks - a move that effectively banished the previous installments' Neve Campbell connection and forced audiences to take Faris' finely honed comic abilities on their own terms. In 2004 the talented comic actress would make a series of appearances on the hit sitcom Friends. 2005 found her yet again being the very best aspect of an otherwise underwhelming comedy, Just Friends. However her few scenes in the multiple Oscar winning Brokeback Mountain showcased her remarkable skills, and allowed her to be funny while still showcasing her in a more dramatic context."

"text": "\"Top 10 Tastiest Bugs To Eat In A Pinch Bugs aren’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a tasty snack, or even a delicious meal. To most people, thinking about crunching into an insect is the last thing that they want to do, however there are almost 2000 different edible bugs in the world, and over two billion people already munching on them. In fact, in areas such as Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, China, and many other places, you will find that eating bugs is a regular and common thing to do. So what keeps you from doing what they consider the “norm\"\" too? It has been thought that it could be put down to culture. Bugs are associated as being pests instead of as food, however given the amount of insects thriving in the world, perhaps reconsidering your aversion to “bugs\"\" and “food\"\" in the same sentence might be a good idea. Here is a great video on why we all should be incorporating more insects into our diet, it has so many great reasons to do so.

More people are happier with strawberry plants that produce less fruit than any other crop they grow. Why? If a tomato variety produced only one serving every two weeks -- which is common for the ever-bearing strawberry types -- gardeners would rapidly abandon it. Yet, I constantly encounter gardeners who criticize my renaming of the \"\"ever-bearing\"\" strawberry to \"\"never-bearing strawberry.\"\" You should consider the effort of watering, insect, disease and weed control involved, and the potential yield of the \"\"ever-bearing\"\" strawberries before wasting valuable time and space on strawberry growing. Yet, after all are said and done, gardeners still wanted to grow strawberries! Why? The strawberry is the first fruit ready to harvest in the spring and, most important, they are good to eat. Strawberries can be grown in this area if the right things are done at the right time with the right varieties."

"text": "\"What Is the Average Cost to Replace a Roof? What factors determine the cost of a roof? Replacing a roof is one of the costliest upgrades a homeowner can make. Roofing contractors look at several variables to determine the price of a new roof, including its size, pitch, accessibility and cost of materials. Because of this, prices for a new roof can range drastically. In terms of a ballpark figure, though, Michael Allen, owner of Above It All Roofing in Irvine, California, says the average cost of a new roof runs as low as $5,000 for a basic asphalt shingle roof — the most commonly used roofing material in America — to $25,000 and up for higher-end roof types. The average price, he says, is $12,000 to replace an architectural shingle roof in his market. SHOP NOW: Shop roofing offers from companies in your area. Need professional help with your project?

Average: $11,209-$17,060 High: $20,000-$25,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (55)A roof is your home's topmost protective layer against the elements, but it can also be a design statement. Wood shakes are a traditional American roofing material, but are vulnerable to fire and mold, and must be replaced fairly frequently. Because of their relative low cost and ease of installation, asphalt shingles are now the most common roofing material in the US. However, many people choose a tile or metal roof because they are so long-lasting and stylish. Typical costs: Do-it-yourself materials to install an asphalt shingle roof on an average one-story ranch-style home (with a gently sloping roof of 1,700-2,100 square feet) can run $680-$3,700, depending on the quality of the materials. Having the old roofing materials removed and new asphalt shingles professionally installed is about $1,700-$8,400 on a typical ranch-style home, depending on materials and location. Wood shingles or shakes are beautiful but require ongoing maintenance, can be prone to fires and don't last as long as other roofing materials. Installing natural wood shingles or shakes on an average one-story, ranch-style home (1,700-2,100 square feet of gently sloping roof) costs around $6,800-$20,000 or more. Re-roofing the same home with high-quality, fire-resistant materials of recycled rubber or plastic molded to look like wood runs around $12,600-$18,900 or more."

"text": "The average roof replacement cost across the US is $4,800-5,050 for asphalt shingles. An average size metal roof costs $8,300-11,250. When shopping around for quotes, the majority of homeowners typically focus on the TOTAL price, without considering how this figure is actually calculated. Too often, this lack of understanding results in spending way more than the roof is worth. In this guide, we will discuss exactly how roofers come up with their quotes, and how you can determine if you are getting a fair deal. Average Roof Replacement Cost in US: Low End$4041Mid Range$4868High End$6086See costs in your area Start Here - Enter Your Zip Code I will first mention that you should (in most cases) choose a contractor who is licensed, insured and has a good reputation with their past clients. It is important for you – the homeowner, because you want to install a roof that will protect your home for many years to come. The best, most expensive material is only as durable and long lasting as the pro who installs it. The last thing you need is to replace your new roof within a few short years, just because you initially tried to save money and hired a sub-par contractor.

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

"text": "Will The Roofing Company Get A Permit? We have been talking in length about professional and legitimate roofers and roofing companies and how to recognize one that isn't. Getting a roofing permit for your new roof establishes that the state and the local building department believe the company to be professional and legitimate. To install a new roof to any structure on your property, requires a permit to be issued and posted at the residence. If you are replacing your roof, the roofing contractor must get a roofing permit to perform the work. The permitting process is there to protect you from the unprofessional roofer that may rip you off. To get a permit, the roofer must be registered with the municipality and the building department. They will be required to be licensed and have the proper insurance coverage's that establish them as a roofing company in good standing with that municipality. The building departments in conjunction with the State keep very good records on all contractors and update these records regularly. Once the roofer has the permit, he is to post it in plain sight on your property before any work has started."

The sale process was fine. Motivated seller helped to accommodate financing options. Once the contract was signed on June 7, 2017 we started to grow our confidence when different people started to contact us from the Project Management and Supervisor for the installation. Confidence started to come down when I requested (several times) an inspection before the installation starts so we know in advance how much additional material would be needed. The Home Depot first failed in understand the ask and later the Project Manager confirmed me that this step was already taken. I had to ask when was it done because we were 90% of the time at home and never saw somebody to come and look at the house. Two days later I receive a call from the Installation Supervisor indicating that she was on her truck in front of the house, that was raining and she already saw the roof... Could not believe that this consider that an Inspection. Weather conditions prevented the project to really start until August the 8th. That day we had the contractor on site early in the morning but no materials (at all) were delivered until noon."

It also acts as an insulator to help cut costs in the winter. Rubber is waterproof, making it a great material for keeping water away from your housing structure. Rubber roofs last a long time before needing to be replaced, typically 30-50 years. They hold up well against wind, water, and even fire, as most are fire retardant. They are also ozone and UV stable, making the materials themselves nonperishable. Repairs are done simply and inexpensively."

Life History Roseate spoonbills eat primarily small fish and crustaceans. Raccoons and coyotes eat roseate spoonbill eggs and young. Spoonbills reach sexual maturity at approximately 16 weeks. In Texas, their mating season lasts from March through June. Nests are built in thick vegetation above water; are well-built, and deeply cupped. Females typically lay two to five brown-speckled white eggs, which hatch after about 24 days. In about eight weeks, the young roseate spoonbills are ready to fly."

Because of the natural geography, most of the rainwater that falls on the Nicoya peninsula flows towards the Montezuma side, so there are many falls with water in them year-round. Many have swimming holes, two have rope-swings, and one is ideal for cliff-diving (Montezuma Falls. ) Until now, some of these waterfalls are virtually unknown and you are unlikely to find anyone else there. All rivers in Costa Rica are considered public land if they have water in them all year round. So, you can legally hike up any stream or river in the area, although it may seem like you’re on private land. The public land extends 15m horizontally from the edge of the river, so you can also hike along the shore. Although you may find barbed wire fences along the way, you can pass under them. On these rivers you may find exotic animals that you won’t see in other parts of the area, such as roseate spoonbills (these look like pink flamingos), river otters, blue crayfish, and Jesus Christ lizards and run on top of the water.

San Jacinto Monument and San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site At nearly 570 feet tall, the San Jacinto Monument is the world’s tallest war memorial. The monument honors the contributions and sacrifices of those who fought for Texas’ independence. Time stands still as you stand beneath the 220-ton Lone Star of Texas on the observation deck and peer out across the horizon. This Texas giant - built from 1936 to 1939 - is one of the finest examples of art deco architecture around, and it’s recognized as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers."

According to his online profile, he is a tall, lean, ripped and agile 30-year-old. By every measure, Grok is in superb health: low blood pressure; no inflammation; ideal levels of insulin, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides. He and his family eat really healthy, too. They gather wild seeds, grasses, and nuts; seasonal vegetables; roots and berries. They hunt and fish their own meat. Between foraging, building sturdy shelters from natural materials, collecting firewood and fending off dangerous predators far larger than himself, Grok's life is strenuous, perilous and physically demanding.

"text": "Pets & Animals Birds Q: How Long Does It Take for Dove Eggs to Hatch? A: Quick Answer It takes 14 to 15 days for dove eggs to hatch. Doves usually sit on the eggs for incubation, but it is a good idea to have an incubator available just in case. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Long Does a Mourning Dove Sit on Her Eggs for Them to Hatch? How Long Does It Take for Parakeet Eggs to Hatch? How Long Do Duck Eggs Take to Hatch? Full Answer Doves lay one or two eggs. The second egg is laid from 20 to 40 hours after the first. Baby doves need help to hatch, so the father dove takes the egg a short distance away from the nest and drops it. The young doves grow quickly and leave the nest between 12 and 14 days of age."

"text": "\"Many birds rely on the ocean to survive. Many birds rely on rivers and oceans to survive. Aquatic birds are as varied as inland bird species. They are any bird that is particularly adapted to life in and around the water. They range from cold-weather loving flightless emperor penguins that glide through the water to whimbrels, which have beaks perfect for finding food in the sand. In North America, we differentiate between the shorebirds that spend most of their time near the water and waterfowl that prefer to spend most of their time actually on or in the water. But the rest of the world generally uses “waterbirds” to refer to both types. Either way, aquatic birds are all highly dependent upon healthy water systems to sustain them. In short, as the Waterbird Conservation for the Americas, writes:“The term ‘waterbird’ refers to bird species dependent on aquatic habitats to complete portions of their life cycles. Waterbirds can be further characterized by other non-technical terms relating to where they typically forage."

If you want to unplug and reconnect with nature – and at a bargain price – you can’t do better than these Sunshine State shores in our state parks.1. John D. Mac Arthur Beach State Park Mac Arthur State Park boast almost two miles of pristine Atlantic beach- Lauren Tjaden John D. Mac Arthur Beach State Park boasts tangles of mangrove swamps, trails that meander through canopies of trees, and a vast walkway that traverses a lagoon – never mind almost two miles of unspoiled Atlantic beach. Nestled on a barrier island, this is the only Florida state park in Palm Beach County, an idyllic natural treasure in the midst of an urban jungle. It offers swimming, fishing, educational programs, special events, kayak rentals and exceptional snorkeling, as well as a nature center, gift shop, playground, and picnicking facilities. If you visit during June or July, make sure to go on a guided sea-turtle walk, where you can watch a mother sea turtle lay her eggs under the cover of darkness.2. Bahia Honda State Park Bahia Honda State Park features the best beaches in the Florida Keys and superb snorkeling.- Lauren Tjaden Bahia Honda State Park has it all – the best beaches in the Florida Keys, legendary snorkeling, a bounty of shore and wading birds, and a plentiful underwater population that will keep anglers smiling. It also features a concession, a restaurant, kayak rentals, snorkeling tours of the reef, geo-seeking, and a butterfly garden. For the ultimate getaway, rent a vacation cabin or get some sand between your stakes in a full-facility campsite. Some of the sites are right next to the beach, where the sound of the surf can lull you to sleep."

Original artwork courtesy of Kathleen Konicek-Moran, NPS volunteer The name Everglades has always been associated with birds. The warm, shallow, and vast River of Grass has attracted all types of birds to this region for thousands of years. In the 1800s, the well-known naturalist and artist, John James Audubon, wrote during a visit to south Florida:\"\"We observed great flocks of wading birds flying overhead toward their evening roosts .... They appeared in such numbers to actually block out the light from the sun for some time. \"\" In Everglades National Park, more than 360 different species of birds have been sighted. Though there are many different ways to identify one group of birds from another, generally birds can be placed into one of three groups: wading birds, land birds, and birds of prey.

The Roseate Spoonbill is one of six Spoonbill species found across the world, and although they all inhabit warmer, tropical climates, the Roseate Spoonbill is the only one that is found in the western hemisphere. Like all Spoonbill species, the Roseate Spoonbill is named for its spatula shaped beak, which becomes flatter and broader towards the end, allowing the Roseate Spoonbill to scoop food out of the water with ease. They are closely related to other large wading Birds including, Herons, Storks and Egrets and are often mistaken in Florida for Flamingoes, particularly by tourists. Roseate Spoonbill Anatomy and Appearance The Roseate Spoonbill is said to be one of the most distinctive Birds found in North America, with their pink and white plumage, orange tail-feathers, red legs and eyes and black feet. Like all wading Birds, the legs of the Roseate Spoonbill are thin and very long, allowing them to walk about in the shallow waters without getting their head or feathers wet. Their distinctively long beak is very sensitive to enable the Bird to easily detect the presence of prey, and has two small slits close to the top meaning that the Roseate Spoonbill can still breathe whilst its beak is submerged in the water. The skin on their head is featherless and often has a greenish tinge to it, leading to their lighter coloured beak. Roseate Spoonbill Distribution and Habitat The Roseate Spoonbill is found along North America's Gulf Coast, most notably in Texas and Florida."

Photo by i Stock. Everyone loves Mexico's sturdy burros and green iguanas, but when you explore beyond the tourist zones, you have a chance of seeing some truly amazing animals you've probably never heard of. Here are some of the most surprising Mexican birds and beasts you could hope to meet.1) Eyelash viper (also nauyaca de pestañas, \"\"eyelash pit-viper\"\"): Don't be fooled by the name, or the pretty green body adorned with rust-colored spots. This is a highly venomous, 3-foot pit viper, known for slithering through trees and vines in lowland forests and scooping up tree frogs, lizards and mice for dinner. If you were to look one in the eye (which is inadvisable), you would see vertical pupils and several spiny scales jutting out over each small eye, giving it \"\"eyelashes\"\" believed to serve as camouflage. The nocturnal snakes live in the low- and middle-elevation forests of Chiapas and Tabasco states.2) Jaguarundi (also leoncillo, \"\"little lion\"\"). This mid-sized (just over 2 feet, plus tail), spotless, reddish- or grayish-brown cat actually looks more like a pint-sized puma than a jaguar. Its short legs, long, slender body and flattened head gives it a weasel- or otter-like silhouette. Jaguarundis hunt near running water and are expert fishers; they favor undisturbed lowland forests and tall grass but also appears in dense tropical vegetation."

"text": "Brief History of the Everglades America’s Everglades once covered almost 11,000 square miles of south Florida. Just a century ago, water flowed down the Kissimmee River into Lake Okeechobee, then south through the Everglades marsh to the flats of Florida Bay – the ultimate destination of the pure sheet flow. Dubbed the River of Grass for the sawgrass that flourished throughout the marsh, the Everglades is a mosaic of freshwater ponds, prairies and forested uplands that supports a rich plant and wildlife community. The river spans as much as 60 miles in width, yet is only six inches deep in some places. Known throughout the world for its abundant bird life, the Everglades is home to several species of large wading birds such as the roseate spoonbill, the wood stork, the great blue heron and a variety of egrets. The mix of salt and freshwater makes it the only place on Earth where alligators and crocodiles exist side by side. In 1905, former Florida Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward began a concerted effort to drain the Everglades to make the land suitable for agriculture and development. Large tracts of swamp were transformed into productive farmland, and cities such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale began sprouting up along the coast. As the population grew, so did the need to provide flood control to the new residents of South Florida. In 1948, the U. S. Congress authorized the Central and South Florida Project, which created the most effective water management system in the world."

Advertising-grabbing the attention of the buyer to buy one's product. In a sense that's exactly what we're attempting to do with our photographs. To be successful we should be doing it with color in mind just like Madison Avenue! We might not be selling a \"\"product\"\" with our images, but we are most definitely aspiring to grab our viewer's attention. And if our ultimate goal is to communicate, then we really are trying to sell something, even if it's no more than our vision. When I was in college, I took a class that was just about color in advertising. One of our assignments was to go to the supermarket, glance up and down all the aisles, without walking them, and take note of the most overwhelming colors we saw.

If it did, we would not need cervical screening, mammograms or fecal occult blood tests. Blood tests can be used to give early warning signs for some cancers - e.g. the level of PSA (or changes in the level of PSA) can be used to indicate prostate cancer. However, also consider the difference between a diagnostic test and a screening tests. Any kind of routine test, like the ones I've mentioned above, is for screening, and is not a diagnostic test. All tests need to be interpreted in the light of the base probability that you have the disease. There's a saying (which I've forgotten the source of, but it was a book a few years ago) \"\"all screening programs do harm; some almost do good\"\". The probability that someone has cancer is pretty small and so we need to use Bayes' Theorem to understand the probability that they have cancer. Bowel cancer, and cancer generally, is a disease of age. ( That's not how it's portrayed in the media, but young people with cancer make a much better story than old people with cancer.)"

A. Check to see if you have your prescribed meds in your system? B. Check for illegal drugs in your system? Reply: I don't know that vets have yearly tests for diabetes. You may be referencing routine lab work (blood tests and urinalysis) during physicals that may note high blood sugars as well as high cholesterol and many other abnormalities. You may at that time be checked for illegal drugs. That is almost accidental because sometimes VA does check you for legal drugs. Here is how it works... If you have a condition that causes chronic pain, you may be on long term therapy with oral narcotic medications. In both the civilian world as well as the veterans world, most treating caregivers today require that you will sign a \"\"pain contract\"\". That agreement tells your doctor that you will only take the narcotic strictly as prescribed and that you won't share it with anyone else. It will also say that you agree to take a drug test to see if there is a therapeutic level of the drug in your system."

In recent years, heartworm disease has been found in all 50 states in the USA. The movement of infected animals that could serve as sources of infection for others is probably a significant contributing factor to heartworms spreading across North America. The actual number of infected dogs and cats in the United States is unknown. What are heartworms? Heartworms, Dirofilaria immitis, belong to the same class of worms as roundworms. In fact, they look a bit like roundworms, but that is where the similarity ends. Heartworms spend their adult life in the right side of the heart and the large blood vessels connecting the heart to the lungs. Heartworms are found in dogs, cats, and ferrets.

This disease is the exact opposite of another endocrine problem in dogs called Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism). This detailed page will emphasize Cushing’s disease in dogs, with an explanation of how it differs from cats at the end.

"text": "Disease Reference More Overview Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Treatment Preparing for an appointment Thrombocytosis Overview Thrombocytosis is a disorder in which your body produces too many platelets (thrombocytes), which play an important role in blood clotting. The disorder is called reactive thrombocytosis or secondary thrombocythemia when it's caused by an underlying condition, such as an infection. Thrombocytosis (throm-boe-sie-TOE-sis) may also, less commonly, be caused by a blood and bone marrow disease. When caused by a bone marrow disorder, thrombocytosis is called autonomous, primary or essential thrombocytosis, or essential thrombocythemia. Your doctor may detect thrombocytosis in routine blood test results that show a high platelet level. If your blood test indicates thrombocytosis, it's important to determine whether it's reactive thrombocytosis or if you have essential thrombocythemia, which is more likely to cause blood clots. Symptoms Reactive thrombocytosis rarely causes symptoms. More often, signs and symptoms relate to the underlying condition. If symptoms of reactive thrombocytosis do occur, they may include: Headache Dizziness or lightheadedness Chest pain Weakness Fainting Temporary vision changes Numbness or tingling of the hands and feet When to see a doctor Because thrombocytosis isn't likely to cause symptoms, you probably won't know you have the condition unless a routine blood test reveals a higher than normal number of platelets. If your blood test results show a high platelet count, your doctor will try to determine the reason."

You might have a blood pressure test as a part of a routine doctor's appointment or as a screening for high blood pressure (hypertension). Many people, such as those with high blood pressure, do their own blood pressure tests at home so that they can better track their health. You may have more frequent blood pressure tests if you've been diagnosed with elevated blood pressure, high blood pressure (hypertension) or low blood pressure (hypotension). Why it's done Having a blood pressure test is a routine part of most medical appointments. Your doctor may order separate appointments for repeat blood pressure checks to look for ongoing health conditions, including elevated blood pressure, high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension), heart disease or other conditions. You should have a blood pressure test performed at least once every two years to screen for high blood pressure as a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, starting at age 18. If you're age 40 or older or if you're age 18 to 39 with a high risk of high blood pressure, ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading every year. Your doctor may recommend screening at a younger age if there are additional risk factors for developing heart disease, such as being overweight or having a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease. If you've already been diagnosed with high or low blood pressure, you should have blood pressure tests more frequently."

"text": "Annual Physical, which lab tests and cancer tests do you need and which are not necessary? October 16 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. Doctors continue to debate the worth of a time-honored tradition of health care -- the annual physical examination. Some want the once-a-year physical abandoned, based on a growing body of research that these exams don't reduce your overall risk of disease or death. Large studies have failed to show that annual physical check-ups provide a significant medical benefit. The potential downsides of an annual physical are cost, time wasted for the patient, time wasted for the doctor, and finding questionable results on tests that lead to more tests, additional costs, and patient anxiety and stress. People have become too reliant on technology. Many doctors neglect the value of talking with patients and performing a hands-on physical examination in favor of new tests and scans. The vast majority of the information a doctor needs to diagnose an illness can be obtained through a thorough patient history and a physical examination. Patients are much more likely to undergo unnecessary medical imaging exams if the tests are ordered by doctors with a financial interest in the imaging equipment. During an annual physical -- a routine medical or gynecological check-up -- many patients are routinely given laboratory tests such as complete blood cell counts or urinalyses of uncertain medical value in the absence of a specific reason."

"text": "Prenatal Tests You may be offered several prenatal tests throughout your pregnancy. Some tests are performed routinely on all pregnant women, such as blood tests to determine blood type and iron levels. Some tests are done to screen women for a condition they or their baby are at risk for developing. Other tests, such as Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis, are considerations for women 35 years of age and older or those who may be at risk of delivering a baby with certain birth defects. Some tests are done later in pregnancy to measure the baby’s well-being and to make sure that the baby is growing and developing at the expected rate. The following is a brief description of some of the more common prenatal tests. Your health care provider, and sometimes a genetic counselor, can help you determine which tests might be recommended for your pregnancy and help you when making decisions. Routine blood tests Quadruple marker Expanded Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)Ultrasound (sonogram)Nuchal Translucency (NT) screening Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)Amniocentesis Genetic screening Third trimester tests for your baby Group B Streptococcal Disease (GBS)Fetal movement counting First trimester Routine blood tests During your pregnancy, your health care provider will order routine laboratory tests that require small samples of blood be drawn. Blood tests are performed to determine/screen for: Blood type (A, B, AB or O)Rh factor (Rh positive or Rh negative)Anemia Rubella immunity status Diabetes Hepatitis Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV, the virus that cause Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS)Sexually transmitted diseases as recommended by your health care provider Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)/Drug Testing Your health care provider may recommend other studies be done during your pregnancy to screen for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and/or drugs. Some of the most common STDs include: Gonorrhea Chlamydia Genital herpes Trichomoniasis Back to top Second trimester Quadruple marker The quadruple marker is a screening procedure that measures the amount of four substances in your blood: Alph-fetoprotein (AFP)Unconjugated estriol (u EST)Human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG)Analyte inhibin (Inh)Studies show that women with pregnancies affected with Down syndrome have lower serum of AFP and u EST and higher levels of h CG than women with unaffected pregnancies."

Abnormal findings are often followed up by more sensitive diagnostic procedures, and, if warranted, interventions that aim to prevent progression to cervical cancer. The test was invented by, and named for, the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou. A Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells at the outer opening of the cervix at the transformation zone (where the outer squamous cervical cells meet the inner glandular endocervical cells). The collected cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia; the squamous intraepithelial lesion system (SIL) is also used to describe abnormalities), which are caused by human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted DNA virus. The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. While the test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium, it is not designed to do so. In the United States, Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65. However, other countries do not recommend pap testing in non-sexually active females. ["

We want you to know what to expect if you are anticipating your first pelvic exam and Pap smear, or to understand better if you’ve never really been told what’s being done to you each year — or why! — during your routine Pap and gynecologic exam. We think being well informed can help you understand the value of regular pelvic exams and Pap smears. We feel this information can help you become your own best advocate, and to comprehend why this is all necessary, so you can feel comfortable with the process. Routine Pap testing and pelvic exam The Pap test process is rather fast and takes only minutes, so if this is your first Pap smear and pelvic exam, don’t let the lengthy explanation put you off!First, a woman sits at the edge of an exam table. Then, when instructed, she places her feet in the stirrup-style foot rests and lies back on the table (like the women in labor so stereotypically depicted on TV or movies). The clinician will usually ask her to separate her thighs and remain calm so the muscles are relaxed. The more relaxed and dropped apart her legs remain, the more comfortable the woman will be and the faster the process will go. ( Wriggling the toes can be a great way to reduce tension in the legs, groin, or buttocks. )"

"text": "With Health Insurance: Copay + Lab Work Without Health Insurance: $100-$250+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (5)Women should have a pelvic exam and Pap test at least once every two years starting within three years of becoming sexually active or at age 21. During a pelvic exam, the provider checks the health of reproductive organs, screens for sexually transmitted diseases and cancer, and discusses family planning. A pelvic exam also should be performed if a woman experiences pain, heavy menstrual bleeding or other problems. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, the typical out-of-pocket cost would consist of a doctor-visit copay, as well as a copay for any lab work. A pelvic exam typically is covered by health insurance that covers routine care, and also would be covered if needed due to pain or other symptoms. For patients not covered by health insurance, a pelvic exam at a doctor's office typically costs $100-$250 or more. For example, the non-discounted rate at Planned Parenthood [ 1] in Baltimore is $111. At the Orlando Women's Center [ 2] , in Florida, a well-woman exam with Pap test is $150. At Alegent Health [ 3] clinics, in Nebraska and Iowa, a well woman visit costs about $155-$175. And at NOVA Women's Healthcare [ 4] in Virginia, an annual women's wellness exam costs $200 including Pap test."

By Tracee Cornforth Updated February 16, 2018Share Pin Email Print GARO/PHANIE / Getty Images If you've been getting a Pap smear every single year for cervical cancer screening, it's probably safe to reconsider. Here's what you need to know about the latest Pap smear guidelines. What Is a Pap Smear? A Pap smear is a test to detect cervical cancer that requires having cells scraped from the opening of the cervix to be examined under a microscope. Screening has been found to reduced cervical cancer deaths by allowing doctors to find cancer early and treat it, or prevent it from developing in the first place. Pap smears are part of routine gynecological visits that, until 2012, was recommended annually for all women 21 and older. Current Guidelines Both the American Cancer Society and the United States Preventive Services Task Force updated their recommendations in March 2012, moving away from annual Pap smears to a three-year schedule for most women. That's because cervical cancer generally takes 10 to 20 years to develop, making annual testing an unnecessary medical procedure for most women. The current guidelines are as follows: All women should begin cervical cancer screening at age 21."

A Pap test, also called a Pap smear, is used to screen for cervical cancer. It's a routine procedure that checks for cell changes on the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus.

Causes range from mild inflammation to cancer By Lisa Fayed Updated December 14, 2017Share Pin Email Print BSIP / Getty Images If you have been told you have an abnormal Pap smear, your first instinct may be to panic or to fear the worst. It’s a natural response. But what does \"\"abnormal\"\" actually mean within the context of a Pap smear, and what do you need to do if you have one? Understanding Abnormal Pap Smears An abnormal Pap Smear simply means that a microscopic examination of cells taken from your cervix was not as the lab technician would have expected. There can be a multitude of reasons for this, running the gamut from a mild inflammation to cervical cancer. In the end, all it really tells us is that your cervix needs further evaluation. In some cases, you might be stepped up to a colposcopic exam and biopsy; at other time, you might be asked to come back for a repeat Pap smear in three years. Abnormal Pap smears are actually quite common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately three million women receive abnormal Pap smear results each year."

Any woman who is sexually active or is at least 18 years old should have a Pap smear. Cervical cancer is most commonly caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). This is a virus that is most commonly spread by sexual contact. It is thought to be the most prevalent STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) in the United States with about 85% of the adult population having had it. Once you get the HPV in your genital tract, it is difficult if not impossible to get rid of it. HPV is also the causative agent of Genital Warts. Some people with HPV infection will develop warts, some will develop precancerous and if ignored cancerous changes, some will develop both, and even a few will develop neither. These changes may occur relatively soon after infection or may not occur for many years. When should you have a Pap Smear?"

Pregnancy neither increases nor decreases the risk, but when cancer is diagnosed during a pregnancy, it presents a different management challenge. Now two lives are at stake. The Importance of Pap Smears In spite of its rarity, the most common cancer for a pregnant woman to get is cervical cancer, or cancer of the mouth of the womb. The fact that cervical cancer is the most frequent malignancy found during pregnancy underscores the importance of a Pap smear as a routine part of prenatal care. It is not only recommended during a pregnancy, but is considered mandatory. If You Don’t Pass the Pap This is one test you really do want to pass. But if the Pap smear does come back abnormal, don’t panic. Often, inflammation or hormonal changes may yield an abnormal but innocent Pap."

The test looks for abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix that could indicate a precancerous condition or cervical cancer. In most cases, cervical cancer is a slow-progressing disease. It can take years for precancerous cells to develop into cancer. This is why having a regular Pap smear is so important for women. When is a Pap Smear Performed? A Pap smear is commonly performed as part of a gynecologic check-up. It is recommended for all women between the ages of 21 and 65 years old. In women over age 30, an HPV test is also recommended."

"text": "Pap Test FAQWhat is a Pap test? The Pap test is the most successful laboratory screening method used to identify women who may have a premalignant disease and are at high risk of developing cervical cancer. This is done by collecting cells from the cervix and examining them under a microscope, looking for specific morphologic clues as to the health of the cells present. Who should have a Pap test and how often? Recent (2012) guidelines set forth by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, a consensus document agreed upon by professional and government agencies, recommend the following intervals for screening Pap tests: No Pap test screening for women aged 20 and younger Start Pap test screening at age 21Screen every 2-3 years for women aged 21-29Co-test with high-risk HPV and Pap test at age 30If both are negative and patient has not had abnormal Paps or HPV test in last 10 years, extend co-test screening to every 5 years Can stop routine Pap and HPV co-testing at age 65 if no abnormal history is present What is the difference between screening and diagnostic Pap tests? Screening Pap tests are routine tests collected and evaluated for preventive health visits. Diagnostic Pap tests are performed after a patient has been diagnosed with a cervical abnormality and is being actively followed and treated. Diagnostic Pap tests may also be ordered when the patient’s visit is due to abnormal signs or symptoms, such as abnormal bleeding. How is a Pap test done? The Pap test is a quick and generally painless procedure."

"text": "\"The Abnormal Pap Smear News of an abnormal pap smear is the most frequent reason for a call back from a gynecologist's office. This report is always difficult to hear over a telephone, and many GYN doctors prefer to give the details face to face, only increasing the anxiety between the time of the phone call and the scheduled conference. Although it's true the dreaded \"\"abnormal pap\"\" can run the gamut from mere harmless inflammation of the cervix (mouth of the womb) all the way to cancer, often it's of the harmless variety. We gynecologist's are victims of our own technology in that the screens we use to search for disease aren't very specific and result in a lot of false bad news. Ironically, when it happens to you, that's the good news. For further evaluation can clear the patient and she leaves the office with more expense but with a clear sense of well-being. There's also the false good news, a report that is re-assuringly normal, resulting in the patient going her way for another six months to a year with advancing disease. Luckily, this advance is very slow. Which brings us to the real beauty of the pap smear: Even though it is sometimes wrong, if a woman actually has a pre-cancerous condition, sooner or later the pap will definitely pick it up. Which further brings us to the only reasonable rule of pap smears: If your paps are normal, keep getting them on schedule; and if one is abnormal, seek further evaluation so that if there really is something there, a typically slow-growing disease can be eliminated quickly and easily, maintaining the anatomy and full reproductive potential."

If your answer is \"\"no\"\" and you are 21 or older, pick up your phone today and make an appointment with your doctor or a family planning clinic in your area. On the other hand, if your answer is \"\"yes,\"\" then how long has it been since your last Pap smear and pelvic exam? All women should have a Pap smear every three years between the ages of 21 and 29, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Women aged 30 to 64 should have a pap smear alone every 3 years, or pap smear and an HPV test every 5 years. When Do Women Need Pelvic Exams? Teenage girls should see an OB/GYN between the ages of 13 to 15. While pelvic exams are rarely required during this first visit, this visit helps to establish a relationship with the doctor of your choice and to go over your medical and sexual history (even if you have not had sexual intercourse.) This is a good time to ask questions about sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. You should always see your gynecologist if you experience: Any unusual and/ or persistent vaginal discharge Bleeding between periods Bleeding after sexual intercourse While a yearly Pap smear is not, in most cases, necessary after age 30, all women still require an annual pelvic exam to check for any other changes or infections."

Lets examine Genesis 25:25Gen. 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. If we examine a Hebrew/Greek lexicon the definition is thus:132. admoniy, ad-mo-nee´; or (fully) admowniy, ad-mo-nee´; from 119; reddish (of the hair or the complexion):—red, ruddy. The definition of the word \"\"red\"\" described here is \"\"admoniy\"\" reddish of the hair or complexion. But it has its root meaning at 119119. adam, aw-dam´; to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy:—be (dyed, made) red (ruddy). So now RED is used to physically describe Esau/Edom which derives from the word \"\"adam\"\" which means \"\"to show blood\"\". However we do know that adam was created from earth making him a dark/brown complexion."

By Cori Brosnahan To tell the story of Ruby Ridge — a standoff between the federal government and the heavily-armed Weaver family in the remote hills of Idaho — filmmakers Barak Goodman and Emily Chapman interviewed eye witnesses, including federal agents on the ground, journalists who reported the story, and a member of the Weaver family. This three-part narrative draws directly from the transcripts of those interviews, exploring how a seemingly small infraction — failure to appear in court for sawing off shotguns — escalated into a tragic standoff that ignited a powder keg of tension, and served as a calling card for the modern American militia movement. Read Part Two here and Part Three here. Courtesy of Ark Media Jess Walter, 1992Theirs had been a traditional love story in the heartland. Randy Weaver grew up playing Little League in small-town Iowa. Later, he attended a few years of community college in Fort Dodge, where he spent nights cruising the streets in his Mustang with friends. He dropped out to join the Army and became a Green Beret. Vicki Weaver was raised on a farm and could sew, cook, knit — you name it. In high school, she was an A student, and an enthusiastic member of the Pleasant Valley Pixies 4-H. After they were married in 1971, Randy took a job at a John Deere tractor factory and Vicki worked as a secretary at Sears."

The Bible makes numerous references to jewels and precious stones. In Exodus 28:21 the Lord ordains precious stones to be used in the making of the breastpiece of the High Priests’ garments. Zechariah 9:16 says that the Lord’s people will be like jewels in a crown. In Revelation 21:19-20, John names twelve stones that adorn the foundation of the New Jerusalem. The difficulty has been in knowing the exact identity of the stones named. It has only been since the mid-1800’s that we have begun to identify stones according to their mineral content. In Bible times stones were identified by color, such as the Hebrew term odem which simply means “red stone.” This could have been any number of red stones known at the time (i.e. red jasper, carnelian, garnet). As more information surfaces thanks to archaeological findings and the writings of ancient historians such as Theophrastus (372-287 BC), Elder Pliny (23-79 AD), and Josephus (37-100 AD), we are able to come a bit closer to making some identifications sure."

"text": "The Twelve Stones of The Apocalypse February 4, 2011 by rickety 27 Comments The Apocalypse makes reference to twelve precious stones: And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. ( Rev. 21:19-20)S ome have tried to identify each stone with a specific tribe of Israel. I have not done so here as I do not think there is enough evidence to make such a determination. Remember too that precious stones named in the Bible may or may not refer to gemstones of the same name today. The twelve stones of Aaron’s breastplate referred to in Exodus 28:17-20 and Exodus 39:10-13 do not correspond exactly with the twelve stones of The Apocalypse. There are several differences, for example Onyx is replaced by Sardonyx and Ligure is replaced by Chrysoprasus. The Hebrews obtained their precious stones from the Middle East, Egypt, and India. At the time of the Exodus the Israelites took with them many precious stones. The people of Palestine could obtain stones from the merchant caravans travelling from Babylonia or Persia to Egypt and those from Sheba and Raamah to Tyre."

The names used in history may not relate to the stone we think of with that name today, too. For example, a sapphire in the Bible was probably what we know today as lapis. Diamonds were probably a white sapphire or white topaz. The stones originally assigned to each month related to the stones appearing on the breastplate of a Jewish high priest.

"text": "What do Salamanders eat? Salamanders are a family of amphibians that look like lizards but are actually completely unrelated to them. They can be distinguished from lizards by their smooth, wet skin and tendency to live in the water. Salamanders are most famous for their ability to regrow limbs that they have lost, including their tails, legs and arms, in just a few days! Thanks to their bright colors and cute appearance, many salamanders are kept as pets, causing many new owners to ask: What do salamanders eat? In order to come up with a suitable diet for your pet, you must first understand what these fascinating creatures eat in their natural environment. What do Salamanders Eat in the Wild? A salamander's diet largely depends on its environment, as some species spend their whole lives underwater while some live on the land. In fact, salamanders are one of the few animal families to have species with and without lungs, or even both. Salamanders that live on land are carnivores with long, sticky tongues like their relatives, frogs."

It rubs the slug in dirt and then brushes the dirt away to remove the sticky film before consuming the slug."

"text": "\"By Newt Question submitted by Alyssa, age 7, Spencerport, NYAlyssa, thank you so much for your question. Salamanders are one of my favorite subjects!One of the reasons I find salamanders so interesting is the fact that most people think they are lizards. Salamanders are shaped quite a bit like lizards, but are not related to them at all. Salamanders are amphibians; they are related to frogs and toads! Like all amphibians, they share a few things in common with their frog and toad relatives, including moist skin and the absence of claws on their toes. Salamanders go through a complex life cycle. Most salamanders lay their eggs in water. When the eggs hatch, the baby salamanders look more like tadpoles than salamanders, and are called \"\"salamander nymphs.\"\" The nymphs have feathery gills that extend from the sides of their necks and help the young salamanders absorb oxygen from the water. While they continue to grow, over a period of usually about 1-3 months, the nymphs feed on small animals and organisms that live in the water."

Some signs of an unhealthy newt include sluggishness, bloating, scrapes, missing digits (or other parts) and skin blistering. A newt with any of these symptoms will not probably live long. In general, a healthy newt is difficult to capture and actively tries to escape when caught. Temperature and lightingnewts are not very problematic when it comes to temperature. they are very comfertable in cold water and need no heating. just make sure that the temperature in the room where the tank is located doesn't drop below freezing. Unlike reptiles, newts and salamanders do not require heat lamps for lighting. Heat lamps may kill newts and salamanders by causing dessication. Natural light can be used, provided that sunlight doesn't beam directly into the tank since this can heat the tank above the safe temperature range."

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

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

The ham may also be cooked or smoked during this process. Brine cured olives are soaked in a brine typically consisting of water, salt, vinegar, and other ingredients that provide the olive with a moist shiny flesh. The intent of this type of curing is to remove the bitterness of the olive that makes it inedible prior to curing. Cheeses that are brine cured are washed with, or submerged into, a brine bath as part of the cheese making process. The cheese must remain in the brine for several hours to several months depending on the type of cheese being produced."

To deal with snow and ice, municipalities use road salt to keep streets and highways safer for driving. But salt use comes with both a financial and environmental price tag. Statewide, the total cost of winter operations (snow removal and salting) was $86.3 million in 2007-8, about double the cost of an average winter reflecting the severe weather that dumped 60 percent more snow over the average of the previous five years according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT). \"\" Road salt use is a sleeping giant,\"\" said Roger Bannerman, DNR water resources management specialist. \"\" The potential for chloride to damage our water systems is more inevitable than climate change. \"\" According to Bannerman, all the numbers related to chloride levels show increases. Monitoring by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows Lake Michigan's average chloride level – currently at about 12 milligrams per liter – is increasing by about 0.1 milligrams per liter every year, largely due to road salt and other human activities."

Brining in one of the most powerful forms of seasoning, flavoringand curing meat. Disperse salt and aromatics in water, then submerge a whole muscle into that salted flavored water. Water surrounds the meat delivering by osmosis salt and flavor into the meat. Some may argue that flavor molecules are too big to enter the meat, but my tasting experience says flavors of herbs definitively get into the meat. Brining basics are few: It’s best to weigh your salt so you know exactly how much you have. Make sure your brine is cool if not cold before you put the meat in. Always refrigerate your meat as it brines. Make sure your meat is completely submerged; some cuts want to float, in which case you’ll need to weigh the meat down. When it’s finished brining, rinse the meat and pat it dry."

"text": "\"ROCK SALT MINING Executive summary on salt mining : Salt is produced as brine and as rock salt. Initially, salt production centered around some brine wells in the Thumb area. An excess of wood products at the time (late 1800's) provided the raw materials required to \"\"dewater\"\" the brine. When the lumber industry fell off, so did the salt brine industry. Those old wells simply drew the brine up, and evaporated the water. Today, all brine operations inject steam or hot water into dry salt beds and extract the brine. Halite salt (Na Cl) can be mined in two different ways: as a solution or in dry mining (see map below). In solution mining, fresh water is injected through a pipe into deep shafts that end in the salt beds, and salty water (brine) is drawn upward and dried, to recrystallize the salt. Or, salty brine found in shallow wells can simply be pumped to the surface and dried there, to make salt. In dry mining (below), the salt is mined in large underground caverns, much like one would mine coal or iron ore."

However, with just a little bit of knowledge, meats can be preserved safely and effectively right from the comfort of home. There are several ways to preserve meat. Some of the most popular methods are as follows. Storage and preservation are best accomplished by cold. Other methods include smoking, curing, making jerky, and pemmican, salting and pickling, canning and using sugar solutions, and antibiotic treatment. Salting and Air Drying Salt curing meat to preserve it is probably one of the oldest preservation techniques known to man. This method of curing meat was known to the Romans, as well as smoking. There exists a story that salt meat was important enough to the Romans that the senate once debated whether man could exist without it. Salt curing preserved both raw and cooked meats, as well as poultry, game and fish."

Water Softeners Make Water Work Better The Softening Process Reducing regeneration brine flow Researchers Look for Answers on effects of Softeners on Septic Systems Research Results Some Experts Don’t Agree Contacts Parts of the U. S. have what is commonly referred to as “hard water,” and people who live in these areas battle the problems that hard water creates. The most common defense against hard water, which is a nuisance but not a health hazard, is to install a home water softener. Water softening involves exchanging calcium and magnesium minerals present in the water-which cause the hardness-with sodium. As the water softener processes gallon after gallon of hard water on a daily basis, the treatment capability of the softener becomes depleted and must be recharged or regenerated. Regenerating the unit uses a large quantity of sodium-rich water, called “brine,” that must be disposed of. In homes with onsite septic systems, this brine flows into the septic tank and eventually makes its way to the system’s drainfield. People using home water softeners often wonder whether these units might cause problems for their onsite septic systems. Some common questions consumers ask are: Do water softeners hurt the bacteria that work in a septic tank?"

That's exactly what I am going to explain on this page. After reading this page you should know what brining meat is, why you should brine meat and most importantly, how to get the job done in a way that brings results. What is Brining I am not a scientist and I won't try to explain what I don't understand but I will tell you that when you put meat and salt together, the salt finds it way into the center of the meat in a most remarkable way. Brining meat is simply placing salt on meat or putting meat down into very salty water and allowing that salt to go through a series of natural scientific processes to find it's way inside of the meat. In it's most basic form, these processes seek to equalize the amount of salt on the outside of the meat with the amount of salt on the inside. As you very well know there is little if any salt inside the turkey therefore the salt and water is drawn deep into the meat fibers of the meat creating the process we call meat brining. The really neat thing about this process is that you can add other spices, herbs, flavorings, etc. down into the bucket with the salt water solution and it will get drawn in as well and thereby flavor the meat. This process seems to work the best on poultry but it is also works well on pork, beef, fish, lamb, etc."

Like a great many of you, I was taught never ever to add salt to beans until the end of cooking or else risk hard, crunchy beans that take forever to become edible. But I recently took a chance on a bean-salting tip I picked up from Cook's Illustrated. The results? They've been very surprising. Far from causing beans to stay tough, the editors at Cook's Illustrated explain in their recent book The Science of Good Cooking that a combination of brining and salting are key to helping beans cook more quickly and more evenly. First, they suggest brining the beans overnight by adding a salt to their soaking water. Then add a little salt (emphasis on \"\"little\"\") to the beans at the very beginning of cooking to keep things going. This two-punch combo of salt action works to break apart the calcium and magnesium ions in the outer skin — the ions responsible for tough skins. This makes the skin softer and more permeable, allowing water to penetrate more easily into the bean itself."

In this post I discuss the pros and cons of soaking beans, when to add salt, and a few other controverisal issues. Soaking Beans The number one issue of debate when cooking beans is whether they have to be soaked first, and if so for how long. There are a number of issues that must be considered when deciding whether to soak your beans:the effect on cooking time (and hence energy usage)the effect on complex carbohydrates that cause flatulencethe effect on beneficial nutrientsthe effect on palatability, including flavor, texture/consistency, and whether the beans hold their shape Cooking time: The consensus seems to be that soaking does reduce cooking time, but not by a huge amount. If you’re in a rush to get your beans cooked, then it’s better to just start them cooking rather than leave them soaking. But if you have the time, then a pre-soak will reduce energy usage slightly, possibly up to 25%. How much does soaking beans actually reduce cooking time? There’s no one answer. The time saved depends on the size and age of the bean, on the cooking method, and on whether your soaking water is salted or not."

Contents [ hide ]1 Usage1.1 General cooking1.2 Brining meats1.3 Cleaning2 Name3 Manufacturing4 See also5 References Usage [ edit]General cooking [ edit]Because the salt has a more pure flavor due to the lack of metallic tasting additives such as iodine or dextrose, it is often used in the kitchen instead of additive-containing table salt so such flavors are not introduced to prepared food. Estimating the amount of salt can also be more easily gauged when salting by hand due to the larger grain size. [ 2] Some recipes specifically call for volume measurement of Kosher/kitchen salt which weighs less per measure due to its lower density, and is therefore less salty than an equal volume measurement of table salt.

What are Anchovies? Anchovies are small, sea water fish, about 3 inches in length and closely related to herrings. There are about six distinct species of the fish worldwide, all of which can be eaten. They can be consumed fresh in areas close to their natural habitat, such as coastal Italy, but are usually sold packed in salt, tinned or jarred in oil, or even as a paste in tubes.

True half sour pickles are fermented in salt, not vinegar, take about a week to create, and don’t last long once they’re done. If you’re craving a real half sour pickle and are tired of the vinegar infused varieties you find at your local supermarket, give this very simple half sour pickle recipe a try. What Is a Half Sour Pickle? Pickles come in a wide variety of different styles and flavors. A half sour pickle is made through salt fermentation. It gets its name from the stage of fermentation that it reaches. The exact same process can also produce new pickles and full sour pickles; the only difference between the three varieties is the time that you choose to take them out of the brine. New pickles are generally produced after just a few days, half sours after a week and a half, and full sours after three weeks. Once the three week period has passed, the pickles will begin to lose their crisp crunch and texture and will soften in the middle."

Description of Related Art Freezing-point lowering compositions (or deicing compositions) are commonly used to reduce or prevent the build-up of ice and snow on various surfaces, such as roadways, sidewalks, and driveways. They work by lowering the freezing point of the ice itself, so that the ice and snow melt. Traditional solid deicing compositions include rock salt (Na Cl), calcium chloride, and urea, with rock salt being the most commonly used. Liquid deicing compositions can also be used and include ethylene and propylene glycol and various alcohols. Traditional deicing compositions have a number of drawbacks, including their corrosive effect on the surrounding environment, as well as their negative impact on soil, water, and animals. For example, sodium chloride accumulation via water runoff from traditional deicing salt tends to diminish permeability of the soil and increase its alkalinity. High levels of sodium also cause the loss of vital plant nutrients such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium from surrounding vegetation. Chloride salts can also inhibit water uptake by roots of plants and trees."

EXPLAIN IT TO MEFebruary 22, 2011 | By Dan Hartzell, OF THE MORNING CALLQ: What exactly does the brine applied to streets for melting snow and ice consist of? Is it simply salt water, or is something else added? Why use brine instead of salt in solid form? Are better substances for melting snow and ice available and in use? A: It seems like a no-brainer that road salt, and its liquid relative known as brine, are reasonably effective in preventing the buildup of snow and ice on roadways. Anyone who's thrown salt crystals marketed for that purpose onto the driveway or sidewalk can attest that lanes of wet surface surround the salted areas, which in turn are flanked by snow. So the stuff works, up to a point. Sodium chloride lowers the freezing point of water, but only from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 20 or 18 degrees. Other chemicals are more effective — magnesium chloride works down to the 15- to 13-degree range — but also more expensive, and some of them can be more corrosive than salt."

The Amendment supports the use of ocean water as a reliable supplement to traditional water supplies while protecting marine life and water quality. The Desalination Amendment, for the first time, provides a uniform, consistent process for permitting of seawater desalination facilities statewide. In doing so, it provides direction for regional water boards when permitting new or expanded facilities and provides specific implementation and monitoring and reporting requirements. The Office of Administrative Law approved the Desalination Amendment on January 28, 2016. The United States Environmental Protection Agency approved the portions of the Desalination Amendment that implement the federal Clean Water Act on April 7, 2016. Therefore, the Desalination Amendment is now fully in effect. Desalination facilities and brine disposal were identified as Issue Number 4 in the 2011-2013 Triennial Review Workplan because several new desalination facilities were planned along the California coast to augment existing water supplies. The operation and construction of seawater desalination facilities can result in marine life mortality and harm to aquatic life beneficial uses. During the process of ocean desalination, organisms may be drawn in with the source water and enter the facility’s water processing system."

"text": "Top Ten Largest Migratory Birds in Canada May 8, 2015Earth Rangers and Parks Canada are counting down the biggest migratory birds in Canada! Leave a comment to share which bird species is your favourite.10. Canada Goose Average wingspan: 1.72 meters (68 inches) Flight path: Geese follow one of four North American migratory flyways to their summer nesting grounds in Canada and northern parts of the United States. They conserve energy in flight by flying in a “V” or a long wavy line and they take turns leading the flock. Fun fact: They are the largest and most widely distributed goose in North America.9. Great Blue Heron Average wingspan: 1.78 meters (70 inches) Flight path: Great blue herons live in southern Canada, from the Maritimes to Alberta and along coastal British Columbia. In the winter, populations retreat from the northern edge of their breeding range and may fly as far south as the Caribbean. Fun fact: They can curl their neck into an ‘S’ which gives them an aerodynamic shape for flying. This shape also allows them to strike at their prey. They go from standing still to extending their neck with lightning speed in order to spear fish with their bill!8."

Population Range and Migration A fossil from the Miocene Epoch, some ten million years ago, was found to be structurally the same as the modern sandhill crane. Today, these large birds are found predominately in North America. They range south to Mexico and Cuba, and as far west as Siberia. Migratory subspecies of sandhill cranes breed in the Northern U. S., Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. Each winter they undertake long southern journeys to wintering grounds in Florida, Texas, Utah, Mexico, and California. En route, more than three-fourths of all sandhill cranes use migratory staging areas in a single 75-mile stretch along Nebraska's Platte River. Diet Most sandhill cranes live in freshwater wetlands."

Sandhill cranes fly with their necks outstretched with powerful, rhythmic wing beats. Florida's sandhill cranes are a threatened species that are found in inland shallow freshwater marshes, prairies, pastures and farmlands. Sometimes they can be seen on lawns throughout Florida. They are sensitive birds that do not adjust well to changed environments and high human populations. Sandhill cranes are usually seen in small family groups or pairs. However, during the winter, Florida's sandhill crane population increases as cranes from northern states spend the winter in Florida. Sandhill cranes are omnivorous, meaning they eat a variety of plant and animal matter. Some of their favorite meal items include seeds, plant tubers, grains, berries, insects, earthworms, mice, snakes, lizards, frogs and crayfish.

"text": "Pets & Animals Birds Q: Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? A: Quick Answer There are two ways to look at this question - either relating to eggs in general or to the chicken egg specifically. Either way, the answer is the same: the egg came before the chicken. In the case of eggs in general, animals such as dinosaurs were laying eggs long before the modern chicken came into existence, meaning that in this sense, the egg predated the chicken by thousands of years. As for the chicken egg specifically, according to NPR's Robert Krulwich, the modern chicken was hatched from an egg, meaning the egg came first.

Credit: Dimitri Vervitsiotis Digital Vision Getty Images Full Answer The key to understanding the answer, and indeed the question itself, is to understand what the question is getting at. The dilemma is to understand whether a chicken-like bird transformed into what is known as a modern chicken after being hatched or whether two chicken-like birds laid and fertilized an egg that then hatched a fully formed chicken."

With its high top speed (several sources list about 70 mph (112 kph)) it can catch just about any other animal; however it can't sustain this speed for long. It preys primarily on smaller antelopes and gazelles. Cheetahs are critically endangered. The lion (below left) is not as fast, but it can take down larger prey, particularly when it works with other lions. Even so, much of a lion's diet can come from scavenging the kills of other creatures. 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. When elephants get p****d they just step on things, and those things usually break. Elephants can also have a tremendous impact (literally) on the environment, as heavily trod areas (such as near a water hole) can become devoid of plant life."

Sandhill cranes occur in pastures, open prairies and freshwater wetlands in peninsular Florida from the Everglades to the Okefenokee Swamp. Florida sandhill cranes are present in many urban areas and some unlikely places such as golf courses, airports and suburban subdivisions. This is probably due in part to the rapid development of their native habitat by humans. Cranes are probably attracted by the open setting (mowed grass) and availability of some foods (acorns, earthworms, mole crickets, turf grubs). People inadvertently put them in harms way when they attract these birds to their yards with feed. Some \"\"feeding\"\" is accidental such as when bird seed is spilled from feeders by other animals onto the ground below making a nice feeding station for cranes. But, some people deliberately feed sandhill cranes. In 2002, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission made it illegal to feed sandhill cranes (Florida Fish and Wildlife Code 68A-4.00 (3))."

They are distinctive among the cranes, adults are nearly all snowy white, except for their black primary feathers that are visible in flight and with two breeding populations in the Arctic tundra of western and eastern Russia. The eastern populations migrate during winter to China while the western population winters in Iran and formerly, in India and Nepal. Among the cranes, they make the longest distance migrations. Their populations, particularly those in the western range, have declined drastically in the 20th century due to hunting along their migration routes and habitat degradation. The world population was estimated in 2010 at about 3,200 birds, mostly belonging to the eastern population with about 95% of them wintering in the Poyang Lake basin in China, a habitat that may be altered by the Three Gorges Dam.

There are fifteen species of crane in four genera. Unlike the similar-looking but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back. Cranes live on all continents except Antarctica and South America. They are opportunistic feeders that change their diet according to the season and their own nutrient requirements. They eat a range of items from suitably sized small rodents, fish, amphibians, and insects to grain, berries, and plants. Cranes construct platform nests in shallow water, and typically lay two eggs at a time. Both parents help to rear the young, which remain with them until the next breeding season. [ 1]Some species and populations of cranes migrate over long distances; others do not migrate at all. Cranes are solitary during the breeding season, occurring in pairs, but during the non-breeding season they are gregarious, forming large flocks where their numbers are sufficient."

ICF classifies another five species as vulnerable, including the black crowned, black-necked, grey crowned, hooded, and white-naped cranes. We have all 15 species of cranes at ICF. The total number of cranes we have varies from season to season, but we normally have between 100-120 birds. We typically have up to 30 birds on display in the Wattled Crane Exhibit, Johnson Exhibit Pod, and Whooping Crane Exhibit, with approximately 70 additional birds housed in Crane City.

"text": "Sardines live in large schools that may contain thousands of fish. They typically feed on plankton and are close to the bottom of the food chain; many different kinds of predators eat sardines, including humans. Sardines fall victim to predation from other fish, marine mammals and birds, often being taken in huge numbers due to the concentration of large quantities of sardines in a single area. Cetaceans: Whales and Dolphins Some of the largest creatures in the ocean eat sardines -- they are a favorite meal of some of the baleen whales that eat by straining their food rather than biting it. When feeding, whales, such as the humpback and the minke, open their mouths wide and scoop up huge quantities of sardines, then squeeze out the excess water before swallowing the fish. Many dolphins and porpoises, such as the black dolphin and the harbor porpoise, also consume sardines, typically by hunting them down and then grabbing individual fish. Pinnipeds: Seals and Sea Lions Sardines form an essential part of the diet of many pinnipeds like the Mediterranean monk seal and the Galapagos sea lion. These mammals feed in shallow waters near the coast where it can be harder for the sardines to get away and easier for the hunters to corner them. Depending on what’s available, seals and sea lions animals may also add octopus, squid, eels and other fish to their diets, typically chasing after and grabbing the prey item and then using their teeth to capture and kill their food. Other Fish Many other kinds of fish eat sardines; they are prey for almost anything that’s bigger than they are."

We closed last week’s post by posing a question: Does the average dog food contain more protein, fat, or carbohydrates? Based on our prior posts about these macronutrients, we would certainly hope that protein is the predominant ingredient because dogs are descendants of carnivores and their ancestors feasted on a diet that was high in animal protein and fat along with a small amount of vegetation. Drum Roll Please…We analyzed about 1,500 canned and dry dog foods and converted their guaranteed analysis values to a dry matter basis. The graph below tells the story. The average dog food contains about 35% protein, 19% fat, and 37% carbohydrates. There is both good news and bad news in these numbers. First the good news. The 37% average carbohydrate number is actually less than I would have guessed – probably due to the recent popularity of grain free and lower carb food recipes. The bad news is that carbs still make up more of the average food than does protein."

Health Benefits Description History How to Select and Store Tips for Preparing and Cooking How to Enjoy Individual Concerns Nutritional Profile References Health Benefits Promote Heart Health Sardines are rich in numerous nutrients that have been found to support cardiovascular health. They are one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have been found to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels; one serving (3.25 ounce can) of sardines actually contains over 50% of the daily value for these important nutrients. Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin B12, ranking as one of the World's Healthiest Food most concentrated in this nutrient. Vitamin B12 promotes cardiovascular well-being since it is intricately tied to keeping levels of homocysteine in balance; homocysteine can damage artery walls, with elevated levels being a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Promote Bone Health Sardines are not only a rich source of bone-building vitamin D, a nutrient not so readily available in the diet and one that is most often associated with fortified dairy products. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health since it helps to increase the absorption of calcium. Sardines are also a very good source of phosphorus, a mineral that is important to strengthening the bone matrix."

"text": "Top 5 diet tips to help ease arthritis By Arthritis Research UKArthritis Research UK has shared some top tips on how your diet can play an important part in helping to keep your joints healthy. Arthritis is a debilitating condition that causes pain and disability for one in six people in the UK. It causes pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles, stopping you from doing simple things many take for granted – walking, moving, lifting and standing. Many struggle to do even the simplest of tasks, like opening a jam jar or walking downstairs. Arthritis can affect anyone at any time, including young people and children. Although there are no diets or dietary supplements that will cure arthritis, some people do find that a change in diet can improve symptoms and help to manage pain, and the difficulties of everyday living. The most important link between your diet and arthritis is your weight. Being overweight puts an extra burden on the joints, especially weight-bearing joints – the back, knees, hips, feet and ankles. Having too much body fat may also increase inflammation in the body, making your joints more painful. A good diet can also help to protect you against some potential side effects of arthritis medication, and a healthy diet may also help to protect against heart disease (which can sometimes be a complication of certain types of arthritis)."

While most diabetics can enjoy all foods in moderation, your diet should consist mainly of healthy foods full of vitamins and minerals.

Fish are a lean, healthy source of protein—and the oily kinds, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, etc., deliver those heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 fats you've probably also heard you should be getting in your diet.

So, if you're like me, you often stand at the fish counter a little perplexed: what's good for me and the planet? Fortunately, Seafood Watch, the program run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, has combined data from leading health organizations and environmental groups to come up with their list (\"\" The Super Green List \"\") of seafood that's good for you and good for the environment. To make the list, fish must: a) have low levels of contaminants—below 216 parts per billion [ppb] mercury; b) be high in health-promoting omega-3 fats—providing at least 250mg/day (given the recommendation of eating 8 oz./week); and c) be a Seafood Watch \"\"Best Choice. \"\""

"text": "Home Featured Feeding Advice for Fussy Cats Feeding Advice for Fussy Cats Jasmine Kleine Cats are naturally careful eaters as their digestive system is not good at breaking down toxins. Because cats are so sensitive to poisons, their senses of taste and smell must prevent them from eating food which could be harmful to them. An excellent sense of smell warns them of stale or contaminated food and if their sense of smell fails, so does their appetite. Unfortunately, the same mechanism which helps cats avoid harmful foods can turn it into a faddy eater. Faddy eaters may be fixated on one or two types of food. This may lead to an unbalanced diet if its preferred foods are ‘treat’ foods or to problems if the food becomes unavailable. For these reasons, it’s unwise to allow a cat to become a faddy eater. Unfortunately it’s all too easy to be manipulated without realising it. You avoid one or two flavours because your cat isn’t keen on them. It will eat them once it gets hungry enough, but it knows you will crack before it does."

An important factor of keeping goldfish healthy and disease free is a varied tasty diet. I've done a lot of research on goldfish feeding and the conclusion is that a large number of people are actually inadvertently harming their goldfish. Goldfish are natural omnivores and in the wild they eat algae, plants, leaves, plant roots, insects, larvae, worms, snails, and even small fish. It's best to try to mimic what goldfish would eat in the wild. However, most aquarium goldfish do not have a varied diet. It's normal for the owners to feed them man-made fish-flakes.

See prior issues here newsletter 2008 and beyond. July 10 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker. In other words the blood levels tell us how much inflammation there is in the body. Based on the results of several epidemiologic studies, it has emerged as one of the most powerful predictors of cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease. This marker provides valuable information to clinicians in various clinical settings, ranging from overt cardiovascular disease, stable angina, presenting acute coronary syndromes and peripheral vascular disease, to metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, elevated C-reactive protein levels are a marker to all stages of atherogenesis (hardening of the arteries), endothelial dysfunction (the endothelium is the lining of arteries), atherosclerotic plaque formation, plaque maturation, plaque destabilization and eventual rupture. High levels of this compound may be a sign of a future risk for heart attacks, stroke and cancer, though it does not seem to be a direct cause. Those with depression are often found to have higher levels. Levels of C-reactive protein can be decreased by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables and by taking certain supplements such as vitamin C. Additional research will reveal other dietary methods or natural substances that can reduce levels."

Sardines are part of the herring family and, for North American consumers, are caught in the North Atlantic Ocean.

But did you know a regular sauna routine is also a very pleasurable way to enhance health? As you’re probably aware, I’m a big believer in engaging in as many good-for-you activities as possible, and saunas, particularly infrared saunas, are high on the good-for-you-to-do list. Why infrared? Because its radiant heat is known to penetrate the skin more deeply than traditional saunas, better aiding in a number of restorative body processes. Here are just a few ways infrared saunas can benefit your body – and why I encourage many of my patients to make them part of their health-supporting routines:1. You’ll flush out toxins Saunas, infrared or otherwise, make you sweat. Sweating helps flush out toxins from the body and in so doing reduces its toxic load. With infrared saunas, the sweating is deeper and more profuse, enabling your body to excrete a higher percentage of toxins than with a conventional sauna."

In this process, the immune system attacks the covering of the nerves, called the myelin sheath. Consequently, the sheaths are damaged, and the damaged areas develop scarring that leads to either distorted communication or lack of communication between the nerve endings. Some 350,000 people in the United States have symptoms of myelin sheath degeneration. It affects twice as many women as men, and the onset is usually between ages of 25 and 40. Please scroll down for a list of some of the main symptoms for myelin sheath degeneration and multiple sclerosis. Highly Recommended: The first thing we recommend for anyone who is experiencing symptoms of multiple sclerosis or myelin sheath degeneration, is to have a hair mineral analysis test done. A hair analysis can determine which heavy metals are overloading your body and measure the levels of each toxic metal as illustrated in a simple bar graph showing acceptable and unacceptable reference ranges. Heavy metals like arsenic, aluminum, mercury, lead and cadmium are neurotoxins, which can often be one of the causes of autoimmune symptoms. Heavy metals greatly affect the body's ability to absorb important, life-sustaining nutrients."

Far Infrared Rays are invisible waves of energy that have the ability to penetrate all layers of the human physical body, penetrating into the inner-most regions of the tissues, muscles and bone. An ancient technique, Far Infrared Therapy uses these waves, or rays, of energy to slightly elevate the surface temperature of the body. When we slightly induce a very small temperature increase, we can enhance our body’s functioning on multiple levels. Our hands, bodies and the sun emit FIR energy at all times. In Ancient China, palm healing was used to pass these infrared rays from one person to another. In modern times, it is commonly referred to as Reiki. The Yogis of Ancient India also used FIR in palm healing, and particularly found it useful to place palms over the eyes in the case of eye dryness or strain. Many types of thermal healing have been used in ancient civilizations including Japan, China, India, the Americas, Northern Europe and ancient Rome. Far Infrared Health Benefits I am a huge proponent of using Far Infrared as an aid in detoxification."

The last paragraph sums up their thoughts: Steam won’t make your pores open to clean them better, in fact, it may stimulate oil glands, which could be worse for those with acne. But it can have a bevy of other benefits on skin. It softens the outermost layers of skin, making skin better to exfoliate and increasing permeation of topically applied ingredients. Steam can also improve blood flow, which promotes healthy skin and healing. The general recommendation for steam usage is about once a week, as more could have negative effects on skin. Be sure not to use steam that’s too hot, as it may cause a burn to skin. Finally, steam may have future uses thanks to ablative steam therapy, which has great effects on varicose veins with minimal invasiveness.permalink embed save [–] [deleted] 54 points 4 years ago As far as I know, steaming IS bad for your face. It can dry your face out, cause broken capillaries, and there really isn't any benefit at all (again, as far as I know), since pores don't open/close which is the reason most people steam their face at all."

"text": "Traditional saunas and infrared saunas are used for many of the same benefits: to socialize, relax, lessen the effects of certain physical ailments, and achieve good health. There are major differences between the types of saunas, and if you’re looking to buy a sauna or just interested in the subject, you’ll want to have a clear understanding of the distinctions. What is a sauna? A sauna is defined as a bath that uses dry heat to induce perspiration, and in which steam is produced by pouring water on heated stones. Infrared Saunas In the sauna industry, and among connoisseurs of saunas, it’s understood that the term “ infrared sauna ” is inaccurate, and a sacrifice that is made for the sake of common understanding. In fact, following the definition above, infrared saunas aren’t saunas at all—their heat is generated from electric carbon or ceramic heaters that emit far-infrared heat. For this reason, they should actually be referred to as infrared therapy rooms. The benefits of infrared therapy rooms are concrete, but relatively limited. They use infrared rays at a wavelength of between 7-12 microns, which matches the human body’s infrared wavelength of 9.4. This lets the rays penetrate skin tissue, and they are used to target specific areas of the body."

( Which reminds me - if you guys want to vote for me, you can do so here! Once a day! Every day! Until July 6!) Anyway, turns out that I also received the same Panasonic Face Steamer to review last year, so this year, instead of rehashing an old post, I'm going to talk more about the science of face steaming, which I didn't get to do in last year's entry. So, don't worry, this is not a rehash of last year's post - in fact, you'll find there is a lot that is different here! For this review, I'll first start off with a short recap of my experience with the Panasonic Face Steamer EH-SA31 VP, and then go into what the science says about face steaming - does it really work? Is there any benefit in it? If so, what is the benefit?"

Where your homes were free of toxic chemicals and the air you breathed, the water which you drank & bathed in, and even the clothes you wore were clean and natural too. Of course its not then; it’s now and times have changed dramatically. This romantic picture you can imagine was probably never the case anyway, and it most certainly is way off the mark for today. This is why a critical thing you can do for your health is to regularly cleanse your body of toxins & acidic wastes through various methods of detoxification. So What is Detoxification? Simply put, detoxication is the elimination of poisons or toxins from your body. Due to the huge amounts of contaminants in today’s environment, you are constantly exposed to many forms of chemicals & toxins with estimates of exposure to at least 300 plus every day. Toxins are one of the 4 root causes of dis-ease I have identified from over 15+ years of research & experience. The four main causes of disease are: Toxins Improper nutrition Exposure to EMFStress/what you are thinking on a daily basis These 4 sources all lead to an increase in acidification of your body which from my understanding is THE ROOT CAUSE of ALL dis-ease."

"text": "\"Top positive review See all 36 positive reviews ›4 people found this helpful5.0 out of 5 stars Great suit By m. elizabeth on October 7, 2017I have used this suit now for four years through spurts of regular use and then periods without- it still works perfectly, only a slight unraveling of a piece of a seam (and I will admit to not taking the best care of it, I am too lazy to neatly fold and pack it in the storage bag it comes with, I just kind of bunch it up and shove it under my bed between uses, lol). I'm not sure if the heating gauge is the same on all suits, as I read another review that mentioned specific degrees- mine just has a dial that goes from 1-7, low through high, and the high gets very hot, so I usually just use a five or six for the entire time. I usually start to sweat about fifteen or twenty minutes in, and then try to last for the recommend fifty minutes, but sometimes I'm too hot and sweat drenched to finish. In the past I have used the walk in infrared saunas at spas, and have also had my own one person sauna for my home, and while I do feel like I got sweaty faster in them, I ultimately sweat equally or more in this suit. Pros You can lay down, and your head and chest/groin areas are not covered by the suit, which is so much more comfortable than being in the enclosed sauna to me, which can start to feel claustrophobic. Sweat! There's something very satisfying about the pools of sweat that are left in the suit when you get up from lying in it. Way cheaper than individual visits- I think I was paying 25 to 50 dollars at the spa Soft skin Easy to travel with Cons The stomach wrap, which is secured by velcro, will not fit very large people, although even if it doesn't fully secure around you, you could probably just have something hold it closed and still get the benefits. Wearing pajama pants or similar is recommended, but sometimes my butt and back of legs will start to burn a little from the sweat collecting and heating up at pressure points. I usually have red streaks on my back and arms (just color, no discomfort) from the heating elements in the suit, but I don't know if that's just because I have very pale skin."

For folks with respiratory complaints, steam rooms do offer some unique benefits (details below). Overall, though, since they both cause you to sweat and they both increase circulation to the surface of the skin, the both offer the same basic sauna benefits. Steam room versus sauna: 2 essential differences1. The effects of moisture in the air In a steam room the humidity level is 100%. This high level of moisture in the air can be highly soothing and beneficial for many respiratory conditions.

"text": "\"SAUNA - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Following is a list of benefits regular sauna users enjoy: PAIN RELIEF: Heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. WEIGHT CONTROL: Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water-soluble and the body sweats out fats and toxins. EXERCISE: During a 10-20 minute sauna session, your heart rate increases by 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. The increased cardiac load is the equivalent to a brisk walk. There is a nominal effect on blood pressure because the heat also causes blood vessels in skin to expand to accommodate increased blood flow."

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your next five-day cleanse. Tips for a few days before: If you like to be prepared, you can plan out your juices for the week and what you're going to throw in them. It's good to have a rough idea of the types of juices or green smoothies you'll be making during the fast, and shop accordingly. This avoids waste and saves money. Also, stock up on herbal teas. You can have as many herbal teas as you like during the day, and it's a great excuse to buy some more exotic blends, especially any herbs that are beneficial to and aid detoxing. Another great drink to have during the day is lemon in hot water with some ginger. Blend up a small piece of ginger with a glass of filtered water and you have a lovely ginger juice to go with your hot lemon drink. Very alkalising and detoxifying."

"text": "Sauna After Exercise vs. Before a Workout While you may enjoy using a sauna after exercise, some people swear by the results they get using one before a workout. There are many benefits to regular use as part of your health routine, but precautions should be taken regardless of whether you use one before or after you exercise in order to get optimal results. Sauna Before Workout The main reason to use a sauna before a workout is to loosen up your muscles and get them relaxed and ready to perform. You’ll also raise your core body temperature slightly in the sauna, which will increase your metabolism and get your heart pumping efficiently. There is a fine line, however, between getting the muscles warmed up and getting them so relaxed they won’t work efficiently, so keep your time in the sauna brief. Also be aware of the loss of water and electrolytes in the sauna. If you get ready for your workout with a sauna, rehydrate yourself with plenty of water or some type of sports drink. You should also wait about fifteen minutes between getting out and starting your exercise routine. Sauna After Exercise Most doctors agree that you’ll get the most benefit from using a sauna after working out rather than before. The many benefits include an increased metabolism even while resting and a prolonged, relaxed cool down."

At first, we figure we'll stop over at their home and do what they need us to do. That can work for while, when all that's needed is some help with errands, the lawn or fixing a meal now and then. It's kind of a pleasant way to help out and show our love for our parents. However as care needs increase, we are faced with more decisions. Many of us promised in good faith, back when our parents were healthy, that we wouldn't ever put them in a nursing home. That would be abandoning them. We aim to care for them ourselves until they die. Admirable thinking. However, as years go by and care needs mount, we find ourselves faced with the fact that we can't raise our families, work our jobs and run to Mom and Dad's condo three times a day."

"text": "\"Are You Bullying Your Aging Parents? How to navigate the fine line between stepping in and overstepping your bounds By Linda Bernstein April 4, 2013Of all the fine lines we have to walk in our lifetime, one of the most challenging, yet important, is how we deal with the challenges that inevitably crop up with our aging parents. Everyone’s circumstances and family dynamics are different, of course, but there are certain commonalities. Chief among them is how to provide help, support and comfort while respecting our parents’ intellect and abilities. Even as the roles shift, they’re still our parents, and no matter how wise or experienced we are, to them, we'll always be \"\"the kids.\"\" “ As our parents age and need more and more help, it’s natural to want to lend a hand,” says Brian D. Carpenter, an associate professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis, who studies “later in life” family relationships. “ But when you get involved, you need to make sure that you don't become domineering. “Seniors who feel like their children are trying to take over their lives get resentful and angry — and as a result often disregard their help just to spite them or assert their independence. \"\" This is why it's important that as our parents age and do start to lose some of their abilities, we stay aware of how we're communicating with them. Nothing presses our buttons more than family, and for many of us with unresolved childhood issues, like anger, jealousy, disempowerment or resentment, without that watchful eye it can be easy to slip into unconscious behavior patterns like bullying."

"text": "Would You Breastfeed Someone Else's Baby? Yahoo Parenting • February 10, 2015Photo by Corbis When Jennifer Baumgardner, a New York City based mother-of-two had her first baby around the same time as her close friend, the other woman suggested that the two nurse each other’s infants so they could be “milk siblings. ”At first, Baumgardner balked, but eventually she came around to the idea — in fact, she ended up loving the experience. “ I didn’t think there was anything gross or sexual about it,” she tells Yahoo Parenting. The practice is called “cross nursing” and while it’s tough to find statistics on exactly how many women do it, once you start asking around, it seems that plenty of mothers have either nursed someone else’s baby or had someone nurse their own. Reasons to cross-nurse include sharing a bond with another breastfeeding friend, supplying an infant with milk if his or her mother doesn’t produce enough, and providing respite from the physical demands of nursing. STORY: Daycare Gives Baby Wrong Breast Milk. Is This Really So Bad? However, due to potential health concerns, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discourages the practice. Cross-nursing could spread diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, hepatitis-associated antigens, herpes virus, and HIV, according to Diana West, the director of media relations at the breastfeeding support group La Leche League International (LLL)."

The Kirks had known for a long time that their little girl, Caroline, would die. In her last weeks, she was under hospice care, lived off an oxygen machine, was fed through a tube, and spoke only in small murmurs. It was the normal course for a child born with Niemann-Pick, a terminal disease that gradually leads to the breakdown of the nervous system, brain and lungs. What happened after Caroline’s death was anything but typical. Alison and Doug carried Caroline upstairs to the bathtub, where they washed her skin and hair, dried her limp, 45-pound body with a towel and placed her head on a pillow on the bed in her old room. Alison slipped a white communion dress on Caroline, turned up the air-conditioning and put ice packs by her daughter’s sides. She put pink lipstick on the child’s paling lips, and covered up Caroline’s toes and fingers, which were turning blue at the nails, with the family quilt. Caroline stayed in her bedroom for 36 hours for her final goodbyes. There was no traditional funeral home service, and no coroner or medical examiner was on hand."

"text": "\"Medicaid Coverage of Nursing Home Care in 2018By Joseph L. Matthews, Elderlaw Expert | Last updated: Mar 28, 2018Medicaid is a federal government program that pays long-term nursing home costs for people with low income and few assets (other than a house they own). Each state administers its own Medicaid program, with slightly different eligibility rules. In some states, Medicaid pays some of the cost of assisted living for eligible residents in participating facilities. Who's eligible for Medicaid nursing home coverage? Medicaid nursing home coverage is available only to people who are unable to care for themselves at home. They must meet their state's eligibility limits regarding income and assets, which differ depending on whether the resident is single or part of a married couple (see below). They may reside in any level nursing home that's certified by Medicaid and that accepts Medicaid payment. Be aware, however, that some nursing homes only accept Medicaid payment for a limited number of residents. Unlike Medicare coverage of nursing home care, there's no Medicaid requirement of a prior hospital stay, no restriction to skilled nursing facilities, and no requirement that the person need skilled nursing care or still be recovering from an illness or injury in order for Medicaid to continue coverage. In other words, Medicaid -- unlike Medicare -- will cover residence in a nursing home purely to provide help with the nonmedical activities of daily living -- what's called \"\"custodial care. \"\""

I heard sounds of fighting, and went to investigate. The mum had her baby dangling from the umbilical cord and was trying to get away from it by jumping on the cupboard and back down. I caught her, wrapped her and her baby in a towel, and tried to settle her, but she wouldn't stay still. Eventually the placenta came out and mom was gone, I cut the cord and brought the baby upstairs where I thought mom had goen. That's also where she has nursed her sister's kittens, so I know she knows how to do it, and thought it would eb a good place for them to bond. Mom pooped in the litter box, and then went into a bedroom and had a wash, ignoring the kitten's cries. I let that go on for about ten minutes, thinking she needs to do it in her own time, and the other mums were responding to the cries, but took a sniff and knew it wasn't theirs."

Operation Desert Storm: The First Gulf War Historical Background On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Kuwait asked the United States for assistance in defending themselves, and within five days United States F-15 Eagle fighters arrived in the Persian Gulf from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia to begin Operation Desert Shield, an effort to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein, the political leader of Iraq. The United States was able to put together a coalition of more than thirty-five nations who supported the military liberation of Kuwait (moral support, troops, money, and supplies). It was clear that the United States would carry the major burden of the effort. On August 22, 1990, President George Bush authorized the call-up of the reserves. Reservists began to mobilize in preparation to go to the Gulf for combat and to receive casualties. Areas were prepared to receive patients in the Gulf, in Europe, and in the United States. The activities in August began a five-month diplomatic effort to liberate Kuwait and stop the conflict."

"text": "\"Surgery A-Ce Bedsores Bedsores Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Bedsores, also called decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers, or pressure sores, begin as tender, inflamed patches that develop when a person's weight rests against a hard surface, exerting pressure on the skin and soft tissue over bony parts of the body. For example, skin covering a weight-bearing part of the body, such as a knee or hip, is pressed between a bone and a bed, chair, another body part, splint, or other hard object. This is most likely to happen when the person is confined to a bed or wheelchair for long periods of time and is relatively immobile. Usually, mobile individuals, when either conscious or unconscious, will receive nerve signals from the compressed part of the body and will automatically move to relieve the pressure. Pressure sores do not usually develop in people with normal mobility and mental alertness. However, people compromised through acute illness, heavy sedation, unconsciousness, or diminished mental functioning, may not receive signals to move, and as a result of the constant pressure, tissue damage may progress to bedsores in these individuals. Demographics Each year, about one million people in the United States develop bedsores at a treatment cost of $1 billion. Pressure sores are most often found in elderly patients; records show that two thirds of all bedsores occur in people over age 70. People who are neurologically impaired, such as those with spinal injuries or paralysis, are also at high risk. Pressure sores have been noted as a direct cause of death in about 8% of paraplegics."

How much longer can this last? She lived with my father until his death nearly four years ago. Since then, she has lived with me, my husband and two daughters. Expert Answers Paula Spencer Scott is the author of Surviving Alzheimer's. A Met Life Foundation Journalists in Aging fellow, she writes extensively about health and caregiving; four of her family members have had dementia. The general rule of thumb is that someone with Alzheimer's has half the life expectancy of a peer without this disease. So the average 70- year- old woman can expect to live 16 years, but a 70-year-old with Alzheimer's has an 8-year life expectancy. Of course, there's no crystal ball of certainty, which helps explain why your mother has already outlived that statistic. Life expectancy also depends on the age at diagnosis (the later in life you're diagnosed, the less time you're expected to live) and on general health condition."

The field is very broad and interdisciplinary. In this post I am going to give you an overview on the Food Science and Technology – Science meets Food. What is Food Science? Food science is the branch of applied sciences that combines the fundamentals of biochemistry, physical sciences and chemical engineering to study the physical, chemical and biological nature of food items. In simple words, food science (or food technology) deals with the manufacturing, processing, treatment, preservation, and distribution of food. The ultimate objective of food science is to understand the principles of food processing and to improve the food quality for the general public. Whatever food item (especially packaged ones) you come across in the supermarket (or retail store), has had some contributions from a food scientist, food technologist or food engineer."

[ 1] By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become so successful at explaining living processes that now almost all areas of the life sciences from botany to medicine to genetics are engaged in biochemical research. [ 2] Today, the main focus of pure biochemistry is on understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells, [3] which in turn relates greatly to the study and understanding of tissues, organs, and whole organisms [4] —that is, all of biology. Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information encoded in DNA is able to result in the processes of life. [ 5] Depending on the exact definition of the terms used, molecular biology can be thought of as a branch of biochemistry, or biochemistry as a tool with which to investigate and study molecular biology. Much of biochemistry deals with the structures, functions and interactions of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids, which provide the structure of cells and perform many of the functions associated with life. [ 6] The chemistry of the cell also depends on the reactions of smaller molecules and ions."

It is also known as a palindrome or an inverted-reverse sequence. The pairing of nucleotides within the DNA double-helix is complementary which consist of Adenine (A) pairing with either Thymine (T) in DNA or Uracil (U) in RNA, while Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G). So if a sequence is palindromic, the nucleotide sequence of one strand would be the same as its reverse complementary strand. An example of a palindromic sequence is 5’-GGATCC-3’, which has a complementary strand, 3’-CCTAGG-5’. This is the sequence where the restriction endonuclease, Bam HI, binds to and cleaves at a specific cleavage site. When the complementary strand is read backwards, the sequence is 5’-GGATCC-3’ which is identical to the first one, making it a palindromic sequence. Another restriction enzyme called Eco R1 recognizes and cleaves the following palindromic sequence:5’ – G A A T T C – 3’3’ – C T T A A G – 5’Palindrome [ edit]Image of a palindrome in a DNA structure.

"text": "\"Forensic Science FAQs Q: What is Forensic Science? A: Forensic science the application of science to those criminal and civil laws that are enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system. A forensic scientist analyzes physical evidence and gives written information and/or expert testimony in a court of law. There are many disciplines and career paths within forensic science. Q: What does a forensic scientist do? A: Many forensic scientists work in crime laboratories. For example, a forensic biologist usually specializes in DNA analysis or continues to medical school to pursue a career as a medical examiner, a forensic chemist analyzes non-biological trace evidence found at crime scenes in order to identify unknown materials and match samples to known substances. A forensic geologist applies soil analysis to crime investigations, and forensic physicist works with trajectories. Q: What are the other specialized forensic science careers outside the crime laboratory? A: Forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic entomology, forensic psychiatry, forensic odontology, forensic engineering and so on."

( Georgia Tech Photo: Rob Felt)Download Image MORE PHOTOSResearchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Joint Bio Energy Institute have engineered a bacterium to synthesize pinene, a hydrocarbon produced by trees that could potentially replace high-energy fuels, such as JP-10, in missiles and other aerospace applications. With improvements in process efficiency, the biofuel could supplement limited supplies of petroleum-based JP-10, and might also facilitate development of a new generation of more powerful engines. By inserting enzymes from trees into the bacterium, first author and Georgia Tech graduate student Stephen Sarria, working under the guidance of assistant professor Pamela Peralta-Yahya, boosted pinene production six-fold over earlier bioengineering efforts. Though a more dramatic improvement will be needed before pinene dimers can compete with petroleum-based JP-10, the scientists believe they have identified the major obstacles that must be overcome to reach that goal. Funded by Georgia Tech startup funds awarded to Peralta-Yahya’s lab and by the U. S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the research was reported February 27, 2014, in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology. “We have made a sustainable precursor to a tactical fuel with a high energy density,” said Peralta-Yahya, an assistant professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech. “ We are concentrating on making a ‘drop-in’ fuel that looks just like what is being produced from petroleum and can fit into existing distribution systems. ”Fuels with high energy densities are important in applications where minimizing fuel weight is important. The gasoline used to power automobiles and the diesel used mainly in trucks both contain less energy per liter than the JP-10."

[ 1] By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become so successful at explaining living processes that now almost all areas of the life sciences from botany to medicine to genetics are engaged in biochemical research. [ 2] Today, the main focus of pure biochemistry is on understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells, [3] which in turn relates greatly to the study and understanding of tissues, organs, and whole organisms [4] —that is, all of biology. Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information encoded in DNA is able to result in the processes of life. [ 5] Depending on the exact definition of the terms used, molecular biology can be thought of as a branch of biochemistry, or biochemistry as a tool with which to investigate and study molecular biology. Much of biochemistry deals with the structures, functions and interactions of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids, which provide the structure of cells and perform many of the functions associated with life. [ 6] The chemistry of the cell also depends on the reactions of smaller molecules and ions."

It seems counter-productive for our immune system to attack our own bodies, but scientists think that there is a naturally occurring level of autoimmunity that is going on all the time in humans and other higher animals. When this autoimmunity starts to harm the body it is called an autoimmune disease. Scientists still don’t completely understand why the immune system does this and why only certain individuals are affected while others are not, but they can draw many conclusions: genetics, drugs, viruses, and certain chemicals all seem to be associated with autoimmune disease. There are over 80 different types of immune disorders, but some of the most common are Lupus Erythematosus, thyroid disorder, Mutliple Sclerosis, arthritis, celiac disease, and Type I Diabetes, to name a few. Some of these diseases affect only a specific organ or tissue in the body, so they are localized; others can affect the whole body, and are termed systemic. Localized diseases attack a specific area of the body, like tissues and joints, the nervous system, the blood, and the pancreas for example. Metabolism, muscular movement, brain function—these are just some of the body’s major functions that can be de-regulated by autoimmune disorders. The body is a highly interconnected system, so once one organ or individual system is attacked, the autoimmune disease can damage and de-regulate many other functions of the body. Type I Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where a rare error occurs and the immune cells attack some special cells in the pancreas."

Autoimmune diseases and TNFαRemicade, or infliximab, is a biologic drug used for autoimmune diseases. Scientists and specialists still do not fully understand exactly why autoimmune diseases occur. They happen when the body's immune system mistakenly perceives healthy cells as bad, so it tries to destroy them. TNFα delivers messages between cells in the body. Excess levels of TNFα can make the immune system attack healthy tissue and cause inflammation . When the immune system is activated, TNFα appears to cause inflammation."

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. What is an autoimmune disease? A healthy immune system protects the body by attacking foreign bacteria and viruses. However, in cases where an autoimmune disease exists, the body mistakenly attacks healthy tissue instead. With RA specifically, the healthy tissue attacked is related to the joints, which are designed to absorb shock and allow smooth movement between bones. About 1.5 million people in the United States have rheumatoid arthritis.

"text": "- General Health -Autoimmune Disorders: When Your Body Turns On You By Catherine Guthrie | October 2013There’s been a stark rise in autoimmune disorders over the past 50 years, from type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis to celiac disease and asthma. The first step toward a cure is understanding and controlling the causes. Your immune system is your security detail. It is hardwired to differentiate between what belongs in your body and what doesn’t. When it spies a meddler, such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite, it shoots to kill. Unfortunately, the system is not perfect. Sometimes it targets healthy tissues, a situation that, if it persists under certain circumstances, can lead to an autoimmune disease or autoimmunity. “Auto” mean self; so, “autoimmunity” basically means your immune system takes aim at itself. More than 23 million Americans suffer from autoimmunity, which makes it the third most common category of illness in the United States after cancer and heart disease. Yet, 90 percent of Americans cannot name a single autoimmune disease, writes Donna Jackson Nakazawa in her book The Autoimmune Epidemic (Simon & Schuster, 2008). “"

Rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, psoriasis, alopecia, lupus, thyroid disease, Addison's disease, pernicious anemia, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Guillain -Barre syndrome -- these are just a few of the ailments that scientists now think stem from a common phenomenon: the activation of the body's immune system against the body itself. Also suspected of having this as a component are chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Traits in Common That such different-seeming diseases as psoriasis and diabetes could stem from a common cause actually is a relatively new notion, according to Noel R. Rose, MD, Ph D, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology and pathology at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Back in the early days of the last century, he says, the idea took hold that if the immune system were to benefit us, it would have to be warding off foreign invaders from outside the body. Now, scientists know that the immune system is a set of actions and reactions that can be triggered by a number of things besides an invading germ, virus, or bacteria."

It is caused by lack of load-bearing exercise, ageing, and oestrogen deficiency. As oestrogen is manufactured in fat, it affects thin people more. Bones become thin, as there is a shortage of the organic scaffolding that holds calcium. Women patients can be treated with oestrogens, and both sexes are advised to take load-bearing exercise such as walking and running, but this is often not feasible and sufferers have to cope with spinal deformity (the dowager’s hump), increased risk of fractures, and pain. Animal testing on sheep showed that 20 minutes a day of mild vibration to their back legs for a year was harmless and significantly increased their bone density, and this finding could be used to improve the bone structure of osteoporotic patients 1. animal experiments have identified a gene, Alox15, which produces an enzyme affecting skeletal development in mice.

Definition of autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is present in everyone to some extent. It is usually harmless and probably a universal phenomenon of vertebrate life. However, autoimmunity can be the cause of a broad spectrum of human illnesses, known as autoimmune diseases. This concept of autoimmunity as the cause of human illness is relatively new, and it was not accepted into the mainstream of medical thinking until the 1950s and 1960s.

"text": "\"The Possible Role Of Vaccine Adjuvants In Persian Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses Date of Report: March 1996Subject: The Possible Role Of Vaccine Adjuvants In Persian Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses Background: An immunologist, with experience in the fields of epidemiology, toxicology, immunopathology and general pathology, who is currently working in the area of rheumatology and silicone-gel breast implants, presented the theory of \"\"human adjuvant disease\"\" and its possible link to Persian Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses. The immunologist follows approximately 500 women with breast augmentation implants. This patient population shows signs and symptoms of atypical connective tissue disease (an autoimmune disease), with symptoms very similar to those seen in patients suffering from Persian Gulf War (PGW) Veterans' Illnesses. The primary hypothesis is that silicone adjuvant (an agent added to a vaccine to increase antigenic response) is responsible for PGW veterans' developing \"\"human adjuvant disease\"\" or HAD. HAD is described as a chronic illness resulting from the introduction or implantation of a foreign material into the body. HAD has been linked to prosthetic implants but not to vaccine adjuvants. There are similarities between the symptoms associated with HAD and PGW Veterans' Illnesses, however the development of HAD symptoms generally requires years to occur. The FDA restricts vaccine adjuvant use in the United States to various aluminum salts (alum, aluminum phosphate, aluminum potassium sulfate and aluminum hydroxide), not silicone. These aluminum salts act to form a \"\"depot\"\", or a deposit of vaccine in the muscle tissue, which slowly releases/exposes immunogenic material to the general circulation. In the theory proposed, the immunologist cites the experimental and early developmental uses of silicone-based gels as vaccine adjuvants in the 1960s."

"text": "Introduction Autoimmune rheumatic illnesses tend to affect women more often than they do men. Patients, physicians, and researchers ask why this is so. What are the correlations between gender (or, more precisely, sex) and rheumatic disease? For many years the best explanation to explain this female predominance has been the hormone theory: the thought that female hormones (estrogens – there are several forms) render women more susceptible to such diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Recent research offers other possible explanations. Current possible explanations include: Hormone theory Environmental factors Genetic influences Whole-organism factors. The discussion of these causes is somewhat complicated by disagreements on the definition of autoimmune disease. Most physicians agree that the following are all autoimmune diseases:systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus)rheumatoid arthritis Sjogren's syndromesclerodermamyositisvasculitisprimary biliary cirrhosisautoimmune hepatitis Graves’ disease Goodpasture's diseaseautoimmune hemolytic anemiaidiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Some (but not all) physicians include the following on this list:ankylosing spondylitisreactive arthritis (sometimes called Reiter’s syndrome)chronic Lyme diseasepemphigusvitiligomyasthenia gravismultiple sclerosisjuvenile onset (type 1) diabetes.

In 2015, nearly 280,000 women and teenagers underwent surgery to have their breasts enlarged with silicone or saline implants and about 106,000 breast cancer patients had reconstruction after mastectomy, often with implants. The popularity of breast augmentation has nearly tripled since 1997, when there were just over 101,000 of these procedures. Nearly than 43,000 implant removal procedures were also reported in 2015. Given these statistics, it is not surprising that in spite of the increasing number of women with breast implants, debate continues to swirl about their safety. Many women are justifiably confused by the conflicting information they hear. Here are the facts about what is known and not known about the risks of breast implants. After a brief history of breast implants in the United States, we will answer the following questions: What are the known risks? What happens when breast implants break? Do breast implants make women sick?"

It is the body’s immune system that is responsible for getting rid of these foreign substances and building protection against further harm. This process is known as the “immune response.” Sometimes this naturally occurring process can backfire, causing the immune system to mistakenly attack itself and lead to inflammation, cellular damage, and autoimmune disorders. So what exactly causes the body to attack itself, and what can you do to help prevent it from happening to you? A Growing Concern Autoimmune diseases include a family of about 100 known conditions where the body’s immune system attacks its own connective tissues, organs, and systems. It’s an alarming yet little well-known fact that an estimated 23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disorders, and some data suggest the number affected is closer to 50 million. Even more surprisingly, about 75% or more sufferers are women. That means one in nine women is afflicted by autoimmune disease, making it more prevalent than heart disease or breast cancer."

It appears connected to almost every known chronic disease — from heart disease to cancer, diabetes to obesity, autism to dementia, and even depression. Other inflammatory diseases such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune disease are increasing at dramatic rates. As physicians we are trained to shut off inflammation with aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil or Motrin, steroids, and increasingly more powerful immune suppressing medication with serious side effects. But we are not trained to find and treat the underlying causes of inflammation in chronic disease. Hidden allergens, infections, environmental toxins, an inflammatory diet, and stress are the real causes of these inflammatory conditions. Autoimmune diseases, specifically, now affect 24 million people and include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and more. These are often addressed by powerful immune suppressing medication and not by addressing the cause. That’s like taking a lot of aspirin while you are standing on a tack. The treatment is not more aspirin or a strong immune suppressant, but removing the tack."

This underlines the fact that the study of the immune system (immunology) is still very much an evolving field, as doctors and researchers learn more about the body’s natural defense system—and what happens when it malfunctions. To better understand your child’s autoimmune disease, it helps to know generally how the immune system works: Whether bacteria, a virus or grain of pollen, when a foreign invader ( antigen) tries to enter the body, it first encounters the innate immune system. The innate system is our inborn, nonspecific response to antigens. It’s a general set of defenses that includes barriers like skin and mucous membranes, and reactions like coughing and sneezing reflexes. The innate system also includes roaming white blood cells called phagocytes (literally, “eating cells”), designed to devour any antigen that gets through the outer defenses. The innate system will either destroy the invader or buy time for the more complex adaptive immune system to work. The adaptive system is our continually evolving, specific response to antigens. It’s a targeted defense that identifies the invader and makes unique proteins ( antibodies) to mark it for attack. Among the key players in the adaptive system are special white blood cells called B cells, which produce antibodies, and T cells, which coordinate and carry out the attack—and, importantly, also signal when it should stop."

The average age for menopause onset in the United States is 51 years old, according to the National Institute on Aging. Early menopause usually refers to onset before age 40. Menopause occurs when your ovaries stop producing estrogen, the hormone that controls the reproductive cycle. A woman is in menopause when she hasn’t had a period for more than 12 months. But associated symptoms, such as hot flashes, start long before menopause during a period called perimenopause. Anything that damages your ovaries or stops estrogen production can cause early menopause. This includes chemotherapy for cancer or an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries)."

Side effect prone drugs only transiently soften pain and have no long-term impact on the disease itself. 3,4Conventional medical wisdom mistakenly believed that in contrast to rheumatoid arthritis —which results from an autoimmune attack on joints— osteoarthritis was simply the result of age-related “wear-and-tear. ”However, scientists now understand that, in both of these conditions, an inflammatory immune system attack on joint compounds can be triggered by exposed collagen. 5This article is about undenatured type II collagen, which has a unique molecular structure that interferes with damaging inflammation responses and helps to retrain the immune system. Studies show that exposure to small amounts of type II chicken collagen can inhibit immune overreaction to exposed collagen proteins, substantially reducing the pain and disability of osteoarthritis 4,6-8 and rheumatoid arthritis. 9-12 In one study, an unheard-of 14% of patients taking undenatured type II collagen experienced complete remission of their rheumatoid arthritis! 9A unique formulation of undenatured type II collagen, UC-II ®, was found in controlled studies to significantly reduce pain and increase function in arthritic dogs, 6,7,13,14 horses, 8 and humans. 4As you’ll learn, pain scores for osteoarthritis patients taking UC-II ® decreased—in just 90 days —by a remarkable 40 %!"

Cream to yellow spots are generally present on the head, body and dorsal and caudal fins. The lower fins tend to be orange-red with a narrow white edge. Younger fish will have seven to twelve interrupted parr marks along their sides (Page, 1991). The species supports nine to twelve gill rakers and unlike their cousin the brook trout, -Salvelinus fontinalis-, lake trout do not have a black stripe on the anterior edge of their anal and pelvic fins (Wisconsin Sea Grant, 1999). Breeding males develop a dark, lateral stripe on their sides (Page, 1991). Although an average weight of around 3kg is reported for this species, much larger fish are encountered, some weighing in excess of 27kg. These larger trout are thought to have lived for twenty years or more (Trout Angler's Society, 1999). Lake trout average 45 to 68cm in length, with unusual specimens reaching 126cm (Page, 1991)."

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

That eliminates a number of delicious sea foods, including shellfish, shrimp, catfish, lobster, mussels, eels, sharks, sturgeons, and swordfish, just to name a few. Clearly their law-giver knew something that has taken scientists years to discover. Now we know that fish with scales AND fins are equipped with a digestive system that prevents the absorption of poisons and toxins into their flesh from the waters they call home. Flounder, cod, haddock, and salmon are a few examples of fish with scales and fins. Catfish have fins, but do not have scales."

Hagfish do not have a skeleton, except they do have a skull, which is made of cartilage. Because of this, many researchers think Myxini should not be in the subphylum Vertebrata. [ 1] However, because of its fins and gills, they are called fish. They are marine, meaning they live in the sea. The original 19th century classification groups hagfish and lampreys together as cyclostomes (or historically, Agnatha ), as the oldest surviving class of vertebrates alongside gnathostomes . An alternative scheme proposed that jawed vertebrates are more closely related to lampreys than to hagfish, so vertebrates include lampreys but exclude hagfish.

They don't have jaws, many of them suck the blood of other fish, and they might have killed a king By Colin Barras2 November 2015A good 840 years before the Sex Pistols sang about anarchy in the UK, one chunk of the country faced the real thing. A crisis in the royal succession led to almost 20 years of civil war and rebellion in both England and Normandy, which was then controlled by the English crown. But this time the trigger was not disenfranchised youth, but a dish of fish. Rather than dying in battle, or peacefully from natural causes, King Henry I reportedly died by gorging on lampreys: apparently against medical advice. After his death, people fought for the throne. The story is almost certainly apocryphal, says historian Giles Gasper of Durham University in the UK. The only account of Henry's death that mentions lampreys was written by a 12th-century historian who was no fan of the dead king. Nevertheless, many schoolchildren down the years have learned of the dangers posed by a surfeit of lampreys. Advertisement Are you ready to unlock Britain’s best-kept secrets?"

"text": "One consequence of globalization is that in addition to people and products moving across the globe, wildlife has been transported as well. This practice of transporting animals from their native regions to new areas dates back thousands of years. The Roman Empire frequently brought back animals from foreign lands to use for entertainment in the Colosseum or used them for military purposes. 1 The practice was also a common part of European explorations of the New World, as explorers would bring back novel specimens to their home countries for zoological examinations or to arouse interest in future expeditions. In many cases, the transplanted animal or plant does not thrive in its new environment. A lack of proper food sources combined with the wrong climate can make for a short lifespan for the animal in its new home. In other cases, however, the specimen thrives and is able to successfully reproduce and spread throughout its new habitat. When this happens, the plant or animal can wreak havoc on the new area and become an invasive species. What Makes a Species Invasive? Introducing a species into a new environment may have a variety of outcomes."

"text": "\"Answer by 90054842d25070 Confidence votes 57Starfish eat clams, mussels, oysters, and other shelled creatures. Sometimes they eat hermit crabs and very rarely tiny ocean bugs or parasites. Most sea star (starfish) species are generalist predators, some eating bivalves like mussels, clams, and oysters; or any animal slow enough to be unable to evade the attack (e.g. dying fish). Some species are detritivores, eating decomposed animal and plant material, or organic films attached to substrate. The others may consume coral polyps (the best-known example for this is the infamous Acanthaster planci), sponges or even suspended particles and planktons (sea stars from the Order Brisingida). The process of feeding or capture may or may not be aided by special parts; Pisaster brevispinus or Short-spined Pisaster from the west coast of America may use a set of specialized tube feet capable of extending itself deep into the soft substrata, hauling out the prey (usually clams) from within. Some species take advantage of the great endurance of their water vascular systems to force open the shells of bivalve mollusks such as clams and mussels, and inject their stomachs into the shells. Once the stomach is inserted inside the shell it digests the mollusk in place. The cardiac stomach is then brought back inside the body, and the partially digested food is moved to the pyloric stomach. Because of this ability to digest food outside of its body, the sea star is able to hunt prey that are much larger than its mouth would otherwise allow including arthropods, and even small fish in addition to mollusks."

Especially noticeable in Santa Barbara is the feather boa kelp ( Egregia ), with its unique growth area looking like an hourglass, and its own species of limpet that feeds on the center strap-like stipe. Crabs abound as the garbage collectors in the tidepools.

Phytoplankton are single-celled plants (algae) that live in the surface layers of the ocean. They obtain energy from the sun, and use it to combine atmospheric CO2 and water to make carbohydrates, using the process of photosynthesis. They do require 'nutrients' or fertilizers just like other plants - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the major nutrients, while iron, magnesium, calcium, silicon, boron, cobalt and many others are called minor nutrients. The nutrient availability in the ocean determines the distribution of phytoplankton. When there are many available nutrients the phytoplankton can bloom over a large area. Where there are few available nutrients, phytoplankton are scarce. Phytoplankton rely on minerals found in the water they live in, such as nitrate, silicic acid, phosphate, and iron."

Echinoderms all live in water and are predators or scavengers, the underside of the animal has a mouth and their arms are used to pry open shelled prey such as mollusks. One of the more unusual aspects of echinoderms is their ability to regenerate lost arms. A starfish that loses an arm can grow a new one if just a couple of weeks. Echinoderms are radially sysmetrical, which is obvious from the way their stars (which can vary in number) radiate from the mouth opening. Echinoderms are usually found in the shallow water near the shore. They spend much of the time resting in the sand or on rocks. Starfish can move using specialized structures called tube feet.

Although many religious people do not see any harm in what is eaten believing that the Biblical principles are no longer valid, it seems that Bible and science have come together to show otherwise. Animals found on the unclean meat list either eat garbage, toxins and poisons, which become part of the meat structure you would eat, or they do not digest their food properly. It is good that there are animals like vultures that eat dead flesh and shrimp or catfish that eat the waste in the ocean. That is part of the cycle of nature. But the human body was not designed to deal with those poisons, it does not have the same processing organs. To eat of those meats is to invite all of those toxins and poisons into our body.

Answer: Univalves have only one shell, like the snail. Bivalves have two shells, such as the giant clam. Finally, some mollusks do not have a shell like the squid and slug.2. Look for and find three mollusks that contain shells that you have collected at the beach or seen in a store or museum. Were you surprised at the animal that lived in those shells? Why or why not? Answer: Students should list three types of shelled mollusks and describe where they found those shells. They should describe their thoughts about the mollusks that lived within those shells.3."

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

"text": "Fascinating Facts: What Do Fish Eat? Animal Life, General Knowledge When it comes to the diet of a fish, they eat a large variety of things; some of them are omnivores that feed on marine animals including smaller fish, worms and crustaceans. Some kinds of fish eat small organisms and plant matter, whereas others are carnivorous that eat other fish. The fish diet is classified depending on their habits of feeding. Fish Diet The fish dietary habits differ from one species to another, so it’s not easy to come up with a comprehensive marine animals and plants’ list which they use to feed. As some species are particularly carnivorous or herbivorous in nature that feed on either aquatic animals or plants, others are naturally omnivorous that feed on both animals and plants. The algae shape up the diet for omnivorous as well as for herbivorous fish. Omnivorous fish consume microalgae together with crustaceans for that they ought to go hunting. Sea Grass and Algae: The fish which feed on sea grass and algae are entirely herbivorous. Detritus and Algae: fish released solid waste material, coral slime and organic matter that gets accrued on the sea floor over time constitutes the detritus."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: read this it has alot of good information! as to what they eat it says in this article they eat mysid shrimp!! While many aquarium hobbyists will keep seahorses as pets, seahorses collected from the wild tend to fare poorly in a home aquarium. They will eat only live foods such as brine shrimp and are prone to stress in an aquarium, which lowers the efficiency of their immune systems and makes them susceptible to disease. In recent years, however, captive breeding of seahorses has become increasingly widespread. These seahorses survive better in captivity, and they are less likely to carry diseases. These seahorses will eat mysid shrimp, and they do not experience the shock and stress of being taken out of the wild and placed in a small aquarium. Although captive-bred seahorses are more expensive, they survive better than wild seahorses, and take no toll on wild populations."

They are called by this name as they have what looks like a leaf on their body. This is the main way that they are able to remain well hidden from predators. They are well known around Australia as a source of good luck. That is why you will see this particular symbol as part of the various festivals and activities that occur there. While you can barely see them the Leafy Sea Dragon does feature both pectoral and dorsal fins. Their bodies simply look like a plant that is just flowing along in the water. That helps them to remain unharmed. They don’t have a coiled tail either so that makes it even more appealing that they are part of the foliage and not something alive. This species of seahorse can be about 8 inches long so it is among the largest that you will find out there in the wild."

This name comes from the ancient Greek language, where hippo means “horse “and campus means “sea monster”. Seahorse is actually the genus name given to 54 species of small marine fishes. These unusual marine creatures can be found all over the world. Physical Appearance: Physically, seahorses are upright in posture and have a curled prehensile tail. The main appearance is dominated by small bony shells. They have a tubular snout and the head shape makes them look somewhat like horse. Habitat: They are mostly found in warm and tropical waters. They dwell in that area of water where there is a lot of shelter in the form of corals, sea grass and mangroves."

Unlike most other fish, they are monogamous and mate for life. Rarer still, they are among the only animal species on Earth in which the male bears the unborn young. Habitat and Size Found in shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, these upright-swimming relatives of the pipefish can range in size from 0.6 inches to 14 inches long. Males and Reproduction Male seahorses are equipped with a brood pouch on their ventral, or front-facing, side. When mating, the female deposits her eggs into his pouch, and the male fertilizes them internally. He carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then releases fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water. Swimming and Movement Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers and can easily die of exhaustion when caught in storm-roiled seas. They propel themselves by using a small fin on their back that flutters up to 35 times per second."

"text": "What Do Starfish Eat17 Apr, 2011 what do animals eat 1Starfish, or sea stars, are a marine creature that are echinoderms. Echinoderms are animals which have no head, a hard skeleton under its skin, a body that resembles a star with at least five legs and a mouth in the center, and tubular feet to help them to move. Sea urchins and sea cucumbers are also considered echinoderms. There are two distinct families of starfish, soft bodied starfish from the class Asteroidea and the harder, more brittle starfish from the class Ophiuroidea. There are 2000 living species of starfish in the oceans around the world including in the arctic circles. Despite their name starfish are not actually fish as they do not possess any of the anatomical characteristics of fish such as scales, gills and fins. What Do Starfish Eat? Starfish eat mainly bivalves such as clams, mussels and oysters. They will also eat small fish, sea snails and barnacles. A starfish will basically eat any sea creature that is too slow to avoid being captured by it."

The sea horse is also commonly found around coral reefs where there is plenty of food and places for the seahorse to hide. The seahorse is most closely related to a pipe fish although, the seahorse does not have scales like most fish and instead the seahorse has a bone structure that is made up of little plates and covered with a thin layer of skin. There are 32 recognised species of seahorse found in all water types worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions. Seahorses are generally small animals averaging around 10cm in height although this is dependent on the species. Seahorses can also be found in many different colours but the exact colour of the seahorse is down to the particular species of seahorse and the area in which it lives. Seahorses spend their time bobbing in the sea grasses and coral reefs and due to their colourings, seahorses are able to camouflage themselves pretty effectively into the aquatic plants and larger coral so as to hide from their predators. The seahorse has a number of distinctive features which help the seahorse to survive in it's marine environment. The seahorse has a long snout for sucking in food and a long tail which the seahorse uses both for moving through the water and also for clinging onto coral and aquatic plants, which the seahorse does by curling this long tail around things in order to anchor itself down. The seahorse is an omnivorous animal and the seahorse therefore eats a mixture of plant and animal matter which the seahorse does by sucking the food into it's body through it's elongated snout."

"text": "Dwarf seahorses generally adapt well to life in the home aquarium. The one major caveat is that they require specialized, complicated feeding -- above and beyond that of most aquarium fish, even other seahorses. These obstacles are not insurmountable, but they require dedication. In the Wild In the wild, dwarf seahorses constantly dine on small crustaceans called copepods. Dwarf seahorses have very simple digestive tracts, so they eat constantly to get enough nutrition to survive. They capture prey by sucking it up with their protruding snouts. Unlike some larger seahorses, their predatory instincts are so ingrained that, in the home aquarium, they almost never learn to accept anything but live, moving food. Foods in Captivity You can feed your captive seahorses copepods in captivity. Certain high-end pet shops sell them, and you can purchase cultures on the Internet. However, brine shrimp are easier to culture at home, and dwarf seahorses readily accept them."

Credit: Rudie Kuiter, Aquatic Photographics Pregnant male seahorses tend to develop embryos similarly to the way mammals do, new research shows. In the new study, scientists found a suite of genes that are \"\"turned on\"\" in the pouches of seahorses to keep the baby healthy and growing. Similar gene activity has been found in the wombs of mammals and even reptiles. As such, the finding could shed light on the evolution of live birth, called viviparity. Seahorse broods Seahorses are syngnathid fishes — the only animal family in which males, not females, carry their young. In seahorse sex, the female deposits her eggs into a \"\"brood pouch\"\" on the male's stomach, where he fertilizes them. The expectant dad then carries the eggs in this pouch during the 24-day gestation period until he gives birth, using abdominal contractions to expel the live young, which are then on their own to survive. [ The 10 Wildest Pregnancies in the Animal Kingdom]Previously, researchers knew little about what took place in the brood pouch of the pot-bellied seahorse ( Hippocampus abdominalis) during pregnancy.

Pregnant male seahorse Male pregnancy is the incubation of one or more embryos or fetuses by male members of some species. Most species that reproduce by sexual reproduction are heterogamous —females producing larger gametes (ova) and males producing smaller gametes (sperm). In nearly all animal species, offspring are carried by the female until birth, but in fish of the Syngnthidae family ( pipefish, seahorses and the leafy seadragon ), males perform this function. [ 1] Human males incubating fetuses are a subject of popular imagination and a recurring theme in speculative fiction.

"text": "Pets & Animals Marine Life Q: Why do crayfish molt? A: Quick Answer Crayfish molt because they must shed their hard exoskeletons and grow new, larger ones as their size increases. During the first year of life, a crayfish molts six to 10 times. This number decreases to three to five times during its second year. Continue Reading Keep Learning How do crayfish digest their food? How do crayfish move? What do crayfish like to eat? Credit: coniferconifer CC-BY-2.0Full Answer When a crayfish molts, it is very vulnerable for several days. It spends two to three days inactive in its home to avoid injury and predators before emerging with a strong new exoskeleton. In order to support their rapid growth, young crayfish take in 1 to 4 percent of their body weight each day."

Grant October 3, 2013Share 111 Stumble Tweet Pin +1 Share111At Listverse we have our fair share of lists dedicated to the weird sexual proclivities of animals, but the more we dig, the more we realize we haven’t even scratched the surface of the freakiness (and occasionally romantic side) of the animal sex scene.10 Scorpions Scorpions share the flamingo’s love of precoital dancing, even if they don’t have the same appreciation for showmanship, since they limit the event to a single couple. The so-called promenade a deux usually occurs on a moonless night after a male scorpion has already spent 20 or so minutes juddering around a female waiting to make his move. When the time is right, he reaches out and grabs her pincers in his own, and the duo shuffles about in a kind of arthropod tango, which can last an entire day. During the dance, the male leaves a sperm packet (a spermatophore) on the ground and maneuvers the female over top of it so she can pull it into her body. While hours of dancing might seem romantic, the pincer-holding isn’t so much a loving embrace as it is the male scorpion’s attempt to keep the sexually cannibalistic female from ripping his head off.9 Bowerbird In the world of bowerbirds, a male’s chances for getting lucky all depend on the stylishness of his bachelor pad. So, instead of having a messy apartment strewn with old pizza boxes, beanbags, and nudie pictures, the male bower painstakingly constructs a home of beauty and complete uniformity. If a female bower approves of the nest, she’ll mate with the home’s designer. These Australian birds build their love nests, or bowers, on the ground using twigs, rocks, bones, insects, leaves, and any colorful doodads they happen to find. The main part of the nest is built in an arch or tunnel with a walkway made of small objects leading into and out of the tunnel. Apparently, uniformity is of utmost importance in the females’ judging eyes, so the males deliberately put smaller items inside the walkway and larger objects farther away, which ensures that when a female stands in the center, every item appears the same size."

Photo © Nick Hobgood / Wikipedia.by Laura Klappenbach Updated March 11, 2018Segmented worms (Annelida) are a group of invertebrates that includes about 12,000 species of earthworms, ragworms, and leeches. Segmented worms live in marine habitats such as the intertidal zone and near hydrothermal vents. Segmented worms also inhabit freshwater aquatic habitats as well as moist terrestrial habitats such as forest floors. Segmented worms are bilaterally symmetrical. Their body consists of a head region, a tail region and a middle region of numerous repeated segments. Each segment is separate from the others by a structure called a septa. Each segment contains a complete set of organs. Each segment also has a pair of hooks and bristles and in marine species a pair of parapodia (appendages used for movement). The mouth is located on the first segment at the head-end of the animal and the gut runs through all segments to the end where an anus is located in the tail segment."

The body of a leech is divided into 34 segments with a small anterior and large posterior sucker. Feeding and Nutrition Earthworms feed on organic matter found in the soil such as dead leaves and small soil particles that are digested in the intestine. Some species of leech (hematophagus) feed on blood. Other species feed on decomposing bodies and open wounds of amphibians, reptiles, fish and even mammals. Reproduction Earthworms are hermaphrodites and have two pairs of testes surrounded by testes sac, ovaries and ovipores."

"text": "Earthworm - Nervous System Above: the anterior part of the central nervous of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris. The nerve cord (shown in green) is ventral in position and runs from the 4th segment all the way to the last segment of the worm. A swelling or ganglion in the cord occurs in each segment. These ganglia are small computers where nerve cells communicate with each other, rather like regional brains, each responsible for controlling its particular segment of the worm. Each of these ganglia puts out three pairs of segmental nerves (i.e. there are 3 pairs per segment) though the medial and posterior nerve roots join together just as they enter the nerve cord ganglion. The ganglia of the first three segments are fused together to form a brain comprised of one pair of sub-pharyngeal ganglia (ventral in position, beneath the pharynx of the gut) and one pair of cerebral ganglia (above the gut). One pair of circumpharyngeal connectives (also called circumpharyngeal commissures, circumpharyngeal since the two connectives surround the pharynx) connect the sub-pharyngeal and cerebral ganglia. Thus, the brain comprises a ganglionated ring structure surrounding the fore-gut. The brain and ventral nerve cord together form the central nervous system (CNS). The same structures are shown in plan view below: In the above diagram it can be seen that each circumpharyngeal connective gives off six short nerves to the gut."

They have two kinds of muscles: circular and longitudinal. When they tighten their circular muscles they become long and thin, and their front end moves forward. Then they contract their longitudinal muscles to move their back end toward their front end.12 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Heartworms are nematodes, a type of roundworm, they are several inches long, thin and white. Heartworms are a common parasite in dogs, although cats do become infected and may develop disease. While cats are more resistant to heartworm infestations than dogs, cats, in particular, are extremely vulnerable to heartworm and even a small number can lead to death. In an infected animal, the adult heartworms produce their young, known as microfilaria, which swims around the bloodstream. Microfilaria requires an intermediate host in the form of the mosquito. The mosquito bites an infected dog and takes up some of these microfilaria circulating in the dog’s blood. Once inside the mosquito, they undergo further maturation, which takes 10 – 14 days, at which time they become infective larvae."

The cells of most animals are organized into higher levels of structure, including tissues, organs, and systems. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function. Tissues may combine to form an organ. An organ is a group of different tissues that performs a more complex function than each tissue could perform alone. In most animals, organs combine to form systems. The major functions of animals are to obtain food and oxygen, keep internal conditions stable, move, and reproduce. Structures or behaviors that allow animals to perform these basic functions in their environments are called adaptations. Most animals produce offspring by sexual reproduction,the process by which a new organism develops from the joining of two sex cells."

They show a superficial five part ( pentamerous) radial symmetry. The larvae are bilaterally symmetric, cephalized, and motile, but they develop into sessile or sedentary radially symmetric adults. All echinoderms are marine. They have a calcareous endoskeleton , consisting of numerous small plates covered by a thin epidermis. They are probably the first animals to have evolved an endoskeleton derived from mesodermal tissue. Numerous small spines project from the surface of the body. Echinoderms have an open circulatory system, and respiration and excretion occur by means of dermal gills, small finger-like projections of the skin that stick out near the base of the spines on the surface. The large coelom also functions in circulation and in respiration.

The coelom is reduced in leeches, and setae are lacking a few specialized forms, including leeches. A major invertebrate phylum of the animal kingdom, the annelids number more than 9,000 species distributed among three classes: the marine worms (Polychaeta), which are divided into free-moving and sedentary, or tube-dwelling, forms; the earthworms ( Oligochaeta ); and the leeches (Hirudinea). General features Distribution and abundance Annelids are found worldwide in all types of habitats, especially oceanic waters, fresh waters, and damp soils. Most polychaetes live in the ocean, where they either float, burrow, wander on the bottom, or live in tubes they construct; their colours range from brilliant to dull, and some species can produce light. The feather duster ( Manayunkia speciosa) inhabits the Great Lakes and some rivers of the United States. The polychaetes include more than 6,000 known species, which are about evenly divided between free-moving and tube-dwelling forms. The oligochaetes number about 3,250 known species. Oligochaetes, including earthworms, burrow into soil; certain small oligochaetes are found in fresh water, and a few are marine, usually inhabiting estuarial or other shallow waters. Leeches, which number about 300 species, inhabit freshwater or humid environments and are carnivorous or parasitic on other organisms— e.g., all marine leeches are parasitic on fish."

C.i. Education Policy is Housing Policy We cannot substantially improve the performance of the poorest African American students – the “truly disadvantaged,” in William Julius Wilson’s phrase – by school reform alone. It must be addressed primarily by improving the social and economic conditions that bring too many children to school unprepared to take advantage of what schools have to offer. The conclusion rests on two distinct analyses:– First, social and economic disadvantage – not only poverty, but a host of associated conditions – depresses student performance, and– Second, concentrating students with these disadvantages in racially and economically homogenous schools depresses it further. The schools that the most disadvantaged black children attend today are segregated because they are located in segregated neighborhoods far distant from truly middle class neighborhoods. We cannot desegregate schools without desegregating these neighborhoods, and our ability to desegregate the neighborhoods in which segregated schools are located is hobbled by historical ignorance. Too quickly forgetting twentieth century history, we’ve persuaded ourselves that the residential isolation of low-income black children is only “ de facto ,” the accident of economic circumstance, personal preference, and private discrimination. But unless we re-learn how residential segregation is “ de jure ,” resulting from racially-motivated public policy, we have little hope of remedying school segregation that flows from this neighborhood racial isolation. The individual predictors of low achievement are well documented: With less access to routine and preventive health care, disadvantaged children have greater absenteeism, and they can’t benefit from good schools if they are not present. With less literate parents, they are read to less frequently when young, and are exposed to less complex language at home."

Author: Christine Smith Grade Level: 9-12 Length of lesson: 1 period Historical Context: Theme: Change and continuity in American democracy: ideas, institutions, events, key figures, and controversies Era: Contemporary America Overview With the 1896 Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson, racial segregation became legal in the United States. As a consequence, segregation and the \"\"Jim Crow Laws\"\" that outlined black and white behavior in the South established a deep and inequitable social hierarchy that wasn't legally eradicated until the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This lesson is appropriate for beginning a modern Civil Rights unit, both to introduce students to the racially segregated social mores of southern society, and to expand on their current knowledge of previously learned content about the South, white supremacy, and the impact segregation had on the push towards civil equality in the 1950s and 60s. Essential Question: What was segregation and in what way did it impact the social status of both black and white Americans in the South throughout the 20th century? Primary Sources used: Students will utilize their skills as historians by analyzing and synthesizing various primary documents that surround segregation. They include the following: An audio recording of the song \"\"My Dog, Loves Your Dog\"\" by James L. Bevel and Bernard Lafayette Segregation codes from the city of Birmingham, Alabama The 1963 Inaugural Address of Alabama Governor George Wallace Stories of Struggle: Growing up in the Segregated South ( A collection of short stories written by sisters Joanne Bland & Lynda Blackmon Lowery) or another oral history that includes firsthand knowledge of discrimination/segregation. Introduction/Historical Background“Segregation now…segregation tomorrow…segregation forever!” became the rallying cry for pro-segregationists throughout the South in the early 1960s. Espoused in 1963 in the inaugural address of the newly elected governor of Alabama, George Corley Wallace, the cry was a response to a national movement to end the deep-seated racial divide that was at the heart of southern society."

The Supreme Court declared in 1954 that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” Into the 1970s, urban education reform focused predominantly on making sure that African American students had the opportunity to attend school with their white peers. Now, however, most reformers take as a given that the typical low-income minority student will attend a racially isolated school, and the focus, under the banner of “No Excuses,” is to make high-poverty, high-minority schools effective. What role should racial desegregation play in 21st-century school improvement? In this Education Next forum, Susan Eaton, research director at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School, makes the case for refocusing school reform on creating integrated schools."

Marshall was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court on which he served as Associate Justice from 1967-1991 after he was successfully nominated by President Johnson. He retired from the bench in 1991 and passed away on January 24, 1993 in Washington DC at the age of 84. Civil rights and social change came about through meticulous and persistent litigation efforts, at the forefront of which stood Thurgood Marshall and the Legal Defense Fund. Through the courts, he ensured that Blacks enjoyed the rights and responsibilities of full citizenship. Marshall was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland to William Marshall, railroad porter, who later worked on the staff of Gibson Island Club, a white-only country club and Norma Williams, a school teacher. One of his great-grandfathers had been taken as a slave from the Congo to Maryland where he was eventually freed. Marshall graduated from Lincoln University in 1930 and applied to University of Maryland Law School – he was denied admission because the school was still segregated at that time. So Marshall matriculated to Howard University Law School where he graduated first in his class and met his mentor, Charles Hamilton Huston, with whom he enjoyed a lifelong friendship."

"text": "Segregation Steven F. Lawson Department of History, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey National Humanities Center Fellow ©National Humanities Center Racial segregation was a system derived from the efforts of white Americans to keep African Americans in a subordinate status by denying them equal access to public facilities and ensuring that blacks lived apart from whites. During the era of slavery, most African Americans resided in the South, mainly in rural areas. Under these circumstances, segregation did not prove necessary as the boundaries between free citizens and people held in bondage remained clear. Furthermore, Before the Civil War, segregation existed mainly in cities in both the North and the South. blacks and whites lived in close proximity on farms and plantations and geographical isolation made contact between neighbors infrequent. However, free people of color, located chiefly in cities and towns of the North and Upper South, experienced segregation in various forms. By the time the Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) that African Americans were not U. S. citizens, northern whites had excluded blacks from seats on public transportation and barred their entry, except as servants, from most hotels and restaurants. When allowed into auditoriums and theaters, blacks occupied separate sections; they also attended segregated schools. Most churches, too, were segregated. Reconstruction after the Civil War posed serious challenges to white supremacy and segregation, especially in the South where most African Americans continued to live."

"text": "\"Magnet Schools and Other Means of Desegregation Marcy Crouch Poverty & Prejudice: Our Schools Our Children June 4, 1999INTRODUCTIONEquality is one of the founding ideologies of America, yet actually putting equality into practice does not seem to be as popular as the support for the idea. \"\" Equal opportunity\"\" has been a theme of the latter half of the 1900s and continues to be a notion of struggle because equal opportunity does not necessarily constitute equal results. Legally, black Americans today have voting rights and equal access to public accommodations, with discrimination in housing, employment and education being found illegal (Rossell, 2). Yet the wealth disparity in America is certainly no where near equal and the black citizens are often found to be the ones with the lowest social, economic and educational status. Since education is seen as the means to upward mobility there have been great movements over the past fifty years to try and create equality in the classroom. The method of choice has been attempts to desegregate our classrooms and schools. However, the means to educational desegregation are not so cut and dry because of the existence of housing segregation. Methods such as freedom of choice plans and \"\"forced busing\"\" have both been striving to desegregate American schools, but neither has withheld the test of time. However, one program has proven to be successful at accomplishing enduring desegregation and that is the magnet school systems. To understand the true struggles of school desegregation, one must acknowledge the history of segregation as an ingrained part of the American culture."

"text": "\"Mapping Genes In Sordaria Mapping the location of genes on a chromosome can be accomplished with a diploid organism by following the percentage of crossover events much like the problems we have done in class. But what happens when you have a haploid organism like fungi? In this case, there are no \"\"dominant\"\" or \"\"recessive\"\" traits (since the organism is haploid). However, the events of recombination and crossing over can be observed by looking at the spore patterns in the ascus (spore case of an Ascomycetes). This process is called tetrad analysis since the outcome of meiosis in Ascomycetes results in a linear tetrad of haploid spores. By analyzing spore patterns one can observe crossover events that occurred during meiosis when an allelic marker is located on each chromatid of a synapsed tetrad. Such an analysis reveals two important pieces of information about the crossover event. First, one can determine which two of the four chromatids participated in the cross over event. Secondly, the gene can be mapped relative to an observable cytological marker such as the centromere. By determining the location of several genes, one could eventually determine linkage groups and chromosome locations for all genes."

"text": "\"Chicago Maroon/<a href=\"\"https://berniesanders.com/\"\">Bernie Sanders</a>Looking for news you can trust? Subscribe to our free newsletters. When Bernie Sanders was a student activist at University of Chicago in the 1960s, he was a leader of the local chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality and helped to organize a protest of the school’s racist housing policies. But the radical action he mounted that received nationwide attention was of a different nature: In 1963, as a junior, he waged a crusade for sexual freedom, assailing the school’s leaders for forcing their puritan views on undergraduates—and ruining their students’ sex lives. In doing so, Sanders made national news. This crusade was emblematic of the way Sanders conducted himself in Hyde Park and throughout his political career—firm in his beliefs, fiery in his rhetoric, and unafraid of confrontation. It began with a 2,000-word, ALL-CAPS-laced manifesto in the Maroon, the daily student newspaper, outlining the intellectual case for sexual freedom. Titled “Sex and the Single Girl—Part Two” (a nod to Helen Gurley Brown’s feminist treatise ), Sanders attacked the university’s strict student housing guidelines—which prohibited women from living off-campus and restricted visiting access for persons of the opposite sex—with the kind of fire he’d later reserve for capitalists and war hawks. Bernie Sanders’ essay on sexual freedom set off a heated debate at the University of Chicago ( click here to enlarge ). Chicago Maroon“ [I]s the Administration’s decision in favor of forced chastity, and the right to punish violators of it, based on scientific and rational opinion (the only kind of opinion which students should accept), or is it simply based on a combination of the Bible and Ann Landers?”"

"text": "Segregation Definition - What does Segregationmean? Segregation is the separation of different types of atoms or molecules. Segregation in terms of material science can have two different meanings. One meaning is material segregation, which is when similar atoms or molecules within a material begin to congregate at discontinuities. Particle segregation is when volumes of materials separate from one another based on size and shape. Corrosionpedia explains Segregation Material segregation almost always occurs at discontinuities in a material. These discontinuities include grain boundaries, dislocations, laminations and pores. Material segregation can have very serious consequences if left unattended. Since material segregation increases the concentration of one type of molecule in a given area of a material, it creates material that is less homogeneous. This lack of homogeneity creates areas of material that do not have the intended chemical or mechanical properties."

They grow in clusters, where separate bulbs are attached at the base and by loose skins. The shallot has a tapered shape and a fine-textured, coppery skin, which differentiates it from onions. Shallots were first introduced to Europeans during the 12th Century. Crusaders brought them home as “valuable treasure” from the ancient Palestinian city of Ascalon. Shallots have a mild taste that combines the flavor of a sweet onion with a touch of garlic. heres a picture of one. :"

"text": "\"Food & Drink Cooking & Recipes What are the specific differences between scallions, shallots, and green onions? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Most green onions (also called salad onions) grown in Georgia are Vidalia onions. These varieties are short-day, mild-flavored onions. The common name scallion is associated with various members of the genus Allium that lack a fully-developed bulb. They tend to be milder tasting than other onions and are typically used raw in salads in western cookery. Scallions are also sometimes known as green onions in the United States. Confusingly, the term \"\"green onion\"\" can also be used for immature specimens of the ordinary onion Allium cepa. In Great Britain and some Commonwealth countries they are called spring onions. Unlike onions where each plant normally forms a single bulb, shallots form clusters of offsets, rather in the manner of garlic. Shallots are extensively cultivated and much used in cookery, in addition to being pickled."

"text": "\"Beurre nantais Posted on | February 9, 2010 | No Comments Print This Post Beurre Nantais is a variation of beurre blanc, which has been a topic of discussion around these parts lately. The principal change is the addition of a little cream, added during the reduction phase. Beurre blancs can be a little tricky as to whether or not an emulsion will actually form; and, assuming it does, it has a tendency to break evenly. The cream makes not only emulsifies (assuming decent technique) nearly 100% of the time, the resulting Nantais is a lot sturdier and easier to hold than a blanc. This particular version includes lemon and capers. It’s good with just about any fish; and with sauteed or lightly breaded and sauteed chicken or veal. Also, there’s been some discussion about writing recipes. In this case, other than the addition of lemon and capers, the emphasis is on technique. Ingredients and flavor profile are right down the middle. You’re encouraged to make whatever changes your palate, pantry and circumstances allow."

Avoid shallots with soft spots or that are sprouting (sprouting shallots have a green sprout growing from their stem end, while perfectly edible, they have a stronger, more bitter flavor than other shallots).

Photography Credit: Elise Bauer Steak Diane is traditionally made with a thinly pounded steak, and a cognac, butter, and shallot sauce that is flambéed right before serving to great dramatic effect. Doing some research into Steak Diane, I found that the “Diane” part refers to Diana, the Greco-Roman goddess of the hunt, and “a la Diane” sauces were typically served with venison and game meat in centuries past. It was probably New York hotels that popularized the flambéed steak version. This Steak Diane recipe is based off of one I got years ago from my friend Heidi, who found a version in her local paper, the Carlisle Mosquito (great name for a newspaper, isn’t it?). The recipe calls for pan-frying the steak, using the pan juices as a base for the “Diane” sauce—a sauce made with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cream—and then serving the steak with the sauce poured over it. No flames are involved. Heidi’s husband Vaughn is a master at the grill, so they often grill the steak instead of pan-frying it, and just make the sauce separately. The sauce can be used over chicken or pork as well, and if you have leftovers, you can even stir it in over some pasta.

Chronicle Photo by Thor Swift Your restaurant lunch arrives and for once the Caesar salad is perfect. Crisp hearts of romaine, faintly sweet with a bitter edge; tangy lemon; a shower of Parmesan; and that salty and intensely savory background note of anchovy. Sweet, sour, salty, bitter -- all four primary tastes are in impeccable balance. But according to a growing number of chefs and scientists, it's a fifth taste -- the almost indescribable savoriness of anchovy and aged cheese -- that makes Caesar salad and many other dishes taste so good. Increasingly, chefs, food professionals and scientists are acknowledging the existence and impact of umami, that hard-to-define fifth taste. Earlier this year, neuroscientists at the University of Miami reported finding the taste-bud receptors for umami, effectively validating its existence and the human ability to taste it.

Let me clear the air here: I love them all the different ways. I love them raw when they're fresh and tender, just minutes-picked. I love them briefly sautéed, enough to heat them through but still keep their sugar sweetness and their irresistible pop. And, most controversially, I also love them with the hell cooked out of them, when they deform into wrinkle-skinned beads, but take on a wonderfully savory, creamy character. But, in our nuance-free world of sound bites and split-second judgments, I've been painted for my love of army-green peas as a pea hater, a pea abuser. Hey, it's OK. It's understandable.

My sister loved spinach, especially creamed spinach but other than that, I don’t think I even knew about the existence of other kinds of greens. If it wasn’t lettuce in my salad, I was clueless. When I became vegan, a whole world of food was opened up to me: whole grains, succulent fruits, colorful vegetables and a slew of dark, leafy greens. I was amazed at how many kinds of greens there are: cabbage, bok choy, broccoli rabe, kale, collard greens, spinach, Swiss chard, and mustard, turnip, radish, beet and dandelion greens, to name just a few. Today, I love them all. I add greens into just about every dish I make though my favorite way of eating them is simply sauteed or steamed. I think one of the biggest obstacles people face when it comes to eating dark, leafy greens is not knowing how to prepare them and make them taste delicious. Many greens can taste bitter and often, greens are undercooked and tough or overcooked and mushy. Knowing how to get rid of the bitter taste and be left with tender, flavorful greens requires knowing a few tricks."

"text": "\"Julie Fairman / Getty Images20 mins Prep: 5 mins, Cook: 15 mins Yield: 4 servings (47)By Jen Hoy Updated 02/23/18Share Pin Email Patty pan squash could more accurately be called \"\"flying saucer\"\" squash because of its appearance — and, in fact, it sometimes is. Some say these little squashes look like Scottish tams. The patty pan is a small, round and flat, with edges that resemble an alien spacecraft. It might be yellow, white or green. Its appearance aside, patty pan squash is versatile and makes for some delightful summer recipes. It can be grilled, fried, or, in this case, oven-roasted. Patty pans impart a somewhat buttery flavor, although some people think they taste more like olive oil. This easy recipe for roasted patty pan squash uses shallots and herbs and makes a wonderful side dish for dinner parties. What You'll Need½ pound patty pan summer squash (cut into 1-inch chunks)1 shallot (sliced thin)1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme1 tablespoon olive oil Pinch of sea salt How to Make It Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss the squash, shallot, thyme, olive oil and salt together in a bowl. Spread the mixture out onto a sheet pan."

In Jainism and Vaishnavism, asafoetida is used as a substitute for garlic and onions--which are proscribed for religious reasons, as unearthing the root of the plant destroys the plant. Asafoetida is very powerful stuff raw, but when cooked it mellows. Shallots and leeks are members of the allium family, like garlic and onions. They may also serve as a decent substitute from a culinary standpoint, but I'm not sure if they may trigger the same allergic response owing to their common genetic makeup. You could also dance around it depending on the nature of what you are trying to cook with ginger, peppers, carrots, cumin, coriander and other aromatic vegetables and spices.2k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below How can you grow garlic from a clove?

"text": "\"The Sharingan is a special type of dojutsu (pupil technique) that naturally occurs in all members of the Uchiha clan, though not all of them gain the ability to utilize it. The Sharingan is thought to be descended from the Byakugan, but grants the user different abilities and a different insight. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to. It can memorize ninjutsu ( ninja techniques), genjutsu (illusionary techniques), and taijutsu (hand-to-hand techniques) with perfect accuracy and allow the user to use the techniques, so long as they have the necessary resources to do so. Second, it has the ability to predict an opponent's movement, as well as allowing to track fast moving objects with great clarity. Third, it is capable of a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent. Fourth, it can see through genjutsu, the level of which is possibly dependent on the user's skill. In order to copy a jutsu, one has to have the physical ability to perform the technique. For example, they have to have the needed amount of chakra, stamina, agility, and/or strength in order to perform said technique. In addition to physical skill, the Sharingan cannot copy any other bloodline abilities or summon a creature the user has not made a contract with because the user of the Sharingan has to have the same blood as the other user."

"text": "Answer by Dale Jokhan Confidence votes 150The Rinnegan is the strongest of all the eye techniques. The Byakugan- can see everything from almost any angle. The Sharingan can see what attack that your opponent is going to do next, copy your opponents then use it against them, see through other people's jutsus, and can unleash the Mangekyo Sharingan. Anyway, the Rinnegan is the most powerful eye technique. The clan that bore the Rinnegan was all murdered just like the Uchiha clan has been. The Rinnegan is so legendary because it can raise someone from the dead (impossible! ), sense someone's chakra and absorb it all which kills them, read minds, see from any angle, see through other people's Rinnegans, kill someone if given eye contact, learn ONE of the Pain's unique jutsus (if strong enough), can control the minds, bodies, and souls of other people, can release someone's soul, haunt someone's body forever, take away all the opponent's chakra natures and keep them as your own... There are more to be found! The best doujutsu (ocular jutsu) that exists...only two people ever possessed it nagato (pain) and the sage of the six paths (rikudo sennin) [its that rare]...at current there is no one in the manga that is known to have it cuz as of now both of them i mentioned above are DEAD. The rinnegan gives the user the ability to control all six elemental types (fire, earth ,wind....everything) making it possible for the user to use virtually ANY jutsu. It could see chakra (just like the sharingan) and it can see the seventh path (the path to life and death)...it can bring ppl back to life...5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

[ 3] A year later, he met a 5 year old Itachi Uchiha, becoming best friends and forming a brother-like bond. When Itachi began to act oddly, Shisui was instructed by the Konoha Military Police Force to monitor Itachi because the younger Uchiha's position in Anbu was instrumental to the Uchiha's future status in Konoha. [ 4] Unbeknownst to the clan, Shisui in reality sympathised with Itachi, not wanting the Uchiha to go to war with the village. Shisui tells the truth to Hiruzen. In the anime, Team Shisui was assigned a long mission, which they were tasked with chasing away Kirigakure forces being lead by Ao. The team completed their mission after Ao realised they were facing Shisui and had his team retreat, [5] not without retaining an acute memory of Shisui's chakra colour. [ 6] As the Uchiha continued to grow angrier and more violent from the distrust of the village due to the suspicion of their involvement in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, Shisui approached Hiruzen Sarutobi revealing the truth to the Third Hokage. Trusting Shisui, seeing as he is Kagami Uchiha's descendant, Hiruzen allowed the Uchiha to spy on his clan for the village."

It is said that in times of disorder, one who wields the Rinnegan is sent down from the heavens to become either a \"\"God of Creation\"\" who will calm the world or a \"\"Destroyer\"\" who will reduce everything to nothingness. The Rinnegan is characterised by a ripple pattern that spreads over the eyeball. [ 2]Contents [ show]Acquisition The Rinnegan was first manifested by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in the Shinobi World, derived from the Rinne Sharingan wielded by his mother. It is suggested his Rinnegan was a kekkei mōra, [Notes 1] and with it, he saved the world from the Ten-Tails and created ninshū, the precursor to modern ninjutsu. In the anime, after experiencing the trauma of loss, Hagoromo awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan which almost instantaneously progressed to become Rinnegan. [ 3] For his contributions to the world, Hagoromo became revered as the Sage of Six Paths, and both he and his eyes rose to mythological status over the centuries that followed; [4] even when the Rinnegan was later proven to exist, it was regarded by some as merely a mutation. [ 5]The Rinnegan can typically be awakened by gaining Hagoromo's chakra either by reproducing it from combining the chakra of Hagoromo's sons, Indra and Asura, [6] or by directly receiving chakra from Hagoromo himself.

Kakashi's eye was stolen by Madara Uchiha who yanked it out of his socket during the 4th Great Ninja War. So Kakashi did lose his sharingan. But After Obito's death, Obito returns back to the human world using his transportation jutsu in chakra form and then gives Kakashi his sharingan who then summons Susanoo during his fight with Kaguya. But after the fight Obito returns back to the after life world and so Kakashi's sharingan too goes away. He's no longer Kakashi of the sharingan.

Madara could take him, possibly a fully-powered Obito, and Kaguya, and as stated, Sasuke and Naruto. And Kabuto in a one-on-one fight stands a chance, but again, could easily see that being a stalemate. Most top-tier Shinobi could take him, but beating him is another story. That's a high class of ninja. Among the people I already mentioned, maybe the Fourth Raikage and the First-Fourth Hokage could beat him. The Second Tsuchikage also could potentially take it."

"text": "\"The Sharingan is a special type of dojutsu (pupil technique) that naturally occurs in all members of the Uchiha clan, though not all of them gain the ability to utilize it. The Sharingan is thought to be descended from the Byakugan, but grants the user different abilities and a different insight. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to. It can memorize ninjutsu ( ninja techniques), genjutsu (illusionary techniques), and taijutsu (hand-to-hand techniques) with perfect accuracy and allow the user to use the techniques, so long as they have the necessary resources to do so. Second, it has the ability to predict an opponent's movement, as well as allowing to track fast moving objects with great clarity. Third, it is capable of a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent. Fourth, it can see through genjutsu, the level of which is possibly dependent on the user's skill. In order to copy a jutsu, one has to have the physical ability to perform the technique. For example, they have to have the needed amount of chakra, stamina, agility, and/or strength in order to perform said technique. In addition to physical skill, the Sharingan cannot copy any other bloodline abilities or summon a creature the user has not made a contract with because the user of the Sharingan has to have the same blood as the other user."

In the story, Kakashi is the teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. He is initially portrayed as a detached and apathetic figure, but as the series progresses, his loyalty to his friends and students becomes increasingly apparent. Kakashi's past has been extensively explored in the series, resulting in a gaiden being devoted to his past experiences. Kakashi has appeared in several pieces of Naruto media, including six of the nine featured films in the series, all of the original video animations, and all of the video games. Kakashi was originally created by Kishimoto to be a harsh teacher but the author decided to avoid that. Instead, he made him more generous to calm his students in difficult situations to the point of giving him feminine traits. Kakashi's design gave Kishimoto difficulties as a result of having most of his face covered and as a result it was difficult to show his emotions. For the anime series, he is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue in Japanese and Dave Wittenberg in the English dub."

What really happened was that Madara, who was still alive after a fierce battle with Hashirama, saved him. The battle ended by Hashirama stabbing Madara with a long sword and leaving him thinking he is did, but somehow Madara managed to live by fusing some of Hashirama's cells with his body. ( Later, it was revealed that he used a forbidden technique to \"\"rewrite\"\" the event, saving his life with a clone) Going back to Obito, When Madara saved him and brought him to his secret hideout, they both were so weak. Obito's half body was destroyed so Madara had to put Hashirama's cells into him to to make his body regenerate. Needless to say, Obito's grown body was similar to Zetsu's who was also there by the way. At first Obito wanted to go back to Kakashi and Rin but he had to wait for his body to be strong enough to leave. Someday, Zetsu came to Obito shouting that Rin is in danger, having partially recovered, Obito decided to go out and save Rin, when he was about to leave, the third creature living with Madara which had a spiral face (familiar ha!) offered that he will protect Obito by covering all of his body."

"text": "\"Home »Nature Which Animals Eat Manta Rays? By Ethan Shaw; Updated April 25, 2017The two species of manta rays are the world’s biggest rays: The giant oceanic manta, at its heftiest, may reach 7 meters (23 feet) from wingtip to wingtip and weigh about 2 tonnes (4,440 pounds), and the reef manta isn’t much smaller. The immense size of these docile plankton eaters -- found globally in tropical, subtropical and, in the case of the giant oceanic, temperate waters -- wards off most predators, but large sharks and orcas can and do hunt them. Manta-Eating Sharks Probably the most significant predators of manta rays are large sharks, which are found everywhere the rays are and which possess the size, strength and weaponry to tackle such formidable fare. Among the shark species mentioned in the literature as probable manta hunters are the bull shark and tiger shark, both apex predators in the manta’s tropical and subtropical range. Other predatory sharks big enough to conceivably prey on mantas include the great white, which exceeds 6 meters (20 feet) in length; the swift mako sharks; the oceanic whitetip, among the tropical open ocean’s most widespread predators; and the great hammerhead, which has a taste for rays. Shark Attacks on Mantas Evidence for shark attacks on mantas isn’t hard to come by: Numerous studies have shown shark-bite scars and amputations on living rays. More than three-quarters of reef mantas observed in fieldwork off the southern Mozambique coast showed such injuries, with tiger and bull sharks thought the most likely attackers. Research off Maui revealed a significant proportion of reef mantas bore shark-attack wounds. Of the scarred mantas, some 93 percent appeared to have been attacked from the side or from behind."

Well that or you’ve wanted one for a long time, you wondered how hard it actually is and searched or you just saw one for the first time and just have to have one. Either way, I am here to help by giving you the rundown on what you’ll need to setup a proper shark aquarium and what kind of sharks you should and should NOT purchase for a home aquarium. Imagine having this size Shark Tank in your Living Room. This tank is at the Atlantis Aquarium, in the Bahamas. For starters you’re going to need an Aquarium, and if you bought it at any normal store or basic pet store I will start right now by saying, sorry, it’s not gonna be big enough. Well that is unless you happen to be able to buy 6′x2′ 180 gallon aquariums at the corner store. As that is about the minimum size I’d suggest anyone start with who wants to keep Sharks in a home aquarium. Depending on the type of Shark you want that 180g tank may not last long at all before it outgrows it. Bigger is certainly recommended, with something like 8′x4′x2′ being more ideal for many of the smaller species as a long term home."

Marine life is incredibly diverse and sometimes feels as old as time, and some of the oldest animals in existence live in the sea. The oceans are home to some of the largest and most powerful animals on Earth. They come from many different groups, too. Some are mammals, some are reptiles and some are fish. Some species have been seriously studied by scientists both in nature reserves and in their natural habitats, but other species remain elusive and even mysterious. The wonders of the sea have been immortalized in literature and Hollywood films, yet they are still rarely portrayed accurately.

A: Quick Answer Sharks are afraid of dolphins when outnumbered because they like to eat animals that are much smaller than them, including baby dolphins, but adult dolphins will protect their young by trying to kill a shark any time they see one. Dolphins are usually successful at killing the sharks that they find because they attack in groups, ramming their bodies into the shark until it dies. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is a Male Shark Called? Why Are Sharks Scared of Dolphins? Why Are Sharks Afraid of Dolphins? Full Answer There is mounting evidence that sharks are not so much afraid of dolphins as they are intelligent enough to stay away from the dolphins when they are in large groups. Sharks will, from time to time, try to attack adult dolphins from above, behind or below to avoid being noticed by the dolphin's echolocation process. Sharks are most likely to attack, and will sometimes even kill, dusky dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, humpback dolphins and risso's dolphins when the dolphins are in small numbers. It is difficult to make a definitive statement because the predator-prey relationship depends on many differences, including the number of sharks, the number of dolphins, the species of shark and the species of dolphin."

Most sharks eat fish, octopi, squid, turtles, and other cold-blooded sea creatures, along with the occasional sea bird caught napping on the water. But some of the largest and most dangerous sharks such as great whites and tiger sharks will eat dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, and other swimming mammals.

However, this myth about sharks ought to be dispelled, and the reality of their waning numbers has to be brought to light. Sharks are endangered and a lot of factors are contributing to this process. What are these reasons? Let's find out here. Beautiful and elegant creatures of the sea, sharks have commonly been perceived as vicious, man-eating creatures by us human beings; perceptions further intensified by movies and television shows. However, what would you say if you learned that sharks are the real victims here? Just because there is no movie that shows how sharks may be the victims at the hands of insensitive human beings, it does not mean they should be forgotten, or that their plight shouldn't be looked into. Sharks are on the brink of extinction with studies reporting their numbers all over the world being lower than those of tigers. This news is anything but good, and unless we ourselves take some measures and find out why sharks are endangered and spread awareness, things could only get worse."

Many of the more common inshore sharks, especially those of the family Carcharhinidae, are hard to distinguish from each other. But most have some kind of characteristic, often in the form of color patterns, that help in identification, if you can get a good look at them. The offshore sharks are less frequently seen, but most are easy to recognize if you know what to look for. An exception is the silky shark, which has no particular markings.

Great white shark is the member of genus Carcharodon and is also branded as number one to attack on humans. These species are considered to be threatened.

FACT: While some sharks will eat just about any chunk of fish or meat used for bait, most sharks are a lot more finicky, and prefer a lively fish. Even more so, sharks that are fished for as gamefish on the flats will only bite a bait that naturally occurs in that area."

These creatures are well known for a number of reasons, one of which being their unique appearance. Physical Attributes The prominent coloration of shortfin mako sharks is one characteristic that sets them apart from most. The dorsal (top) side of these sharks can range from deep purples, to bright indigo blues. Their sides are typically silver, and their ventral (bottom) sides are white in color. The areas under the snout and around the mouth of shortfin mako sharks are also white. In addition to the distinctive colors of these sharks, their slender, elongated, and unbelievably sharp teeth are a perfect way to set them apart from many other sharks. In fact these teeth are so intense, that they stick out even when the shark’s mouth is closed!Fins Since the term “fin” is actually part of the shortfin mako shark’s name, there must be something particularly unique about their fins. Well to be honest, their name gives it away. These mako sharks do have very short fins, and the second dorsal fin is considerably shorter than the first."

Thankfully, since then things have improved somewhat for most of us – getting hit by a bus is probably the modern equivalent of being torn apart by wolves. However, there are still far flung places and environments beyond the control of man, where even today, man-eating animals roam wild, stalking human prey as a between meal snack…Whilst rare, there have been a number of high profile man eaters, many occurring within the last 100 years. Here, I’m going to list out the deadliest of all these man eaters and look at some of the most disturbing habitual individual killers.10. Man eating river fish: Now we all know that piranhas can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. And that anyone falling into the Amazon River is as good as dead when these vicious fish are around. Well, it turns out that most of the stories about piranhas are a little exaggerated. But, as with many myths there is a grain of truth and much of the legendary reputation of the piranha can be traced back to a single incident. During a visit to Brazil, and the Amazon, by the American president Theodore Roosevelt local fishermen set up a spectacle involving piranhas. The men had blocked off part of the river and starved the piranha for several days."

Well that or you’ve wanted one for a long time, you wondered how hard it actually is and searched or you just saw one for the first time and just have to have one. Either way, I am here to help by giving you the rundown on what you’ll need to setup a proper shark aquarium and what kind of sharks you should and should NOT purchase for a home aquarium. Imagine having this size Shark Tank in your Living Room. This tank is at the Atlantis Aquarium, in the Bahamas. For starters you’re going to need an Aquarium, and if you bought it at any normal store or basic pet store I will start right now by saying, sorry, it’s not gonna be big enough. Well that is unless you happen to be able to buy 6′x2′ 180 gallon aquariums at the corner store. As that is about the minimum size I’d suggest anyone start with who wants to keep Sharks in a home aquarium. Depending on the type of Shark you want that 180g tank may not last long at all before it outgrows it. Bigger is certainly recommended, with something like 8′x4′x2′ being more ideal for many of the smaller species as a long term home."

The great hammerhead generally travels alone, but the smaller scalloped hammerhead is often found in schools for greater protection, especially the females for protection from the males. Because a hammerhead's mouth is so small, many become bottom feeders, and their heads allow them to easily scan beneath the surface of the sand for food."

These sharks are easily recognizable due to their mammoth size and they largely rely on fish and seabirds for their diet. Great white shark is the member of genus Carcharodon and is also branded as number one to attack on humans. These species are considered to be threatened. Great White Shark Facts For Kids Great white sharks have long remained a mystery even to shark scientists perhaps due to the fact that they’re not successfully bred in captivity. Scientists have attempted to raise them in aquarium but not a single white shark lived more than a few days. Sometimes, it took weeks to spot one in the ocean. White sharks are not really ‘man-eaters’ as they seldom involve in attack on humans. They can reach a speed of 50 km/h in very short bursts. Great white sharks have large black eye."

Their maximum speed is a lethargic 1.7 miles per hour, many are almost blind, and they are happy to eat rotting carcasses. They may be common throughout the ocean, but you've probably never heard of them. Meet the Greenland shark. Looking like nothing so much as a chunk of weather-beaten rock, Greenland sharks ( Somniosus microcephalus) can grow up to 7.3 metres (24 feet) long, making them one of the largest of all fish, and the biggest in the Arctic. But they prefer to live in deep, cold water, so humans rarely see them. Studies in the Arctic have revealed a few snippets of information about Greenland sharks, and more data is now starting to come in from elsewhere. It turns out that Greenland sharks are bizarre, and may be crucially important for the ocean ecosystem. Greenland sharks only come close to the surface in places where the shallow water is frigid enough for them – primarily in the Arctic. They are most easily seen around Greenland and Iceland."

Share Flipboard Email Print Pablo Cersosimo/Robert Harding World Imagery/Getty Imagesby Jennifer Kennedy Updated August 13, 2017Cartilaginous fish are fish that have a skeleton made of cartilage, rather than bone. All sharks, skates, and rays (e.g., the southern stingray) are cartilaginous fish. These fish all fall into the group of fish called the elasmobranchs. Characteristics of Cartilaginous Fish In addition to the difference in their skeletons, cartilaginous fish have gills that open to the ocean through slits, rather than the bony covering that is present in bony fish. Different shark species may have different numbers of gill slits. Cartilaginous fish may also breathe through spiracles, rather than gills. Spiracles are found on top of the heads of all rays and skates, and some sharks. These openings allow the fish to rest on the ocean bottom and draw oxygenated water in through the top of their head, allowing them to breathe without breathing in sand. A cartilaginous fish's skin is covered in placoid scales, or dermal denticles, tooth-like scales different from the flat scales (called ganoid, ctenoid or cycloid) found on bony fish."

The possible shark attack occurred around 3:15 p.m. at Sidney Fischer Park in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The boy suffered a six-inch laceration to his right leg, and was pulled from the water by his father. “We were swimming in the ocean, and then you heard the scream,” a female witnesses told Fox35 Orlando. “ Off in the distance, we saw a father carrying his son, and you could physically see there was some type of laceration on his ankle, blood was dripping from it. ”Lifeguards treated the boy on the beach, wrapping his leg to stop the bleeding. The boy was then rushed to a local hospital by paramedics. The presumptive Cocoa Beach-attack happened just one day after a 13-year-old boy was bitten by a shark at Florida’s Neptune Beach, just east of Jacksonville. Just one week prior, another child, an 11-year-old girl, was also bitten by a shark in Jacksonville.

This chapter is from the book Visual Guide to Minecraft®, A: Dig into Minecraft® with this (parent-approved) guide full of tips, hints, and projects!Learn More Buy As its name suggests, Minecraft is a game in which you need to mine for (and otherwise harvest or collect) materials, which you can then craft into other items and materials. These materials largely consist of blocks that can be placed and removed to create pretty much anything you can imagine. Blocks can be made of stone, wood, glass, clay, wool, or fancy ores, and many can be crafted into a variety of forms. Other items include tools, food, books, potions, and so much more. Add to this all the creatures in the game, both friendly and hostile, and there is a lot to learn and discover. One of the amazing things about Minecraft is that it is constantly changing and being updated. The creators at Mojang regularly release updates that introduce new blocks, items, and mobs. Players can get a glimpse of what is coming with something Mojang calls snapshots. Snapshots are pre-release versions of an update that players can download and try out. Because of these updates, books like this sometimes don’t have the most up-to-date information."

"text": "Minecraft Food and Cooking Getting enough food to satisfy your character’s hunger can always be challenging, especially when starting a fresh world. Luckily there’s a wide variety of easily obtainable foods. The easiest and best foods (after golden apples) are meats, which can simply be cooked in a furnace, just like you’d smelt ores. But there are some other types of food available, some of which are horrible and others which are great alternatives to meat. While some foods will satisfy your hunger enough, others will barely do anything or potentially even harm you. All foods and their recipes can be found below and if you’re looking for more ways to heal or boost yourself, check out the brewing guide for potion recipes. Apples and golden apples Apples are a great source of food as they can be turned into golden apples, the strongest food item in game. Apples satisfy your hunger by 2 , while a golden apple will satisfy you by 2 and regenerate health for 4 seconds. They can be found in chests in strongholds or harvested from oak and spruce leaves, which means they’re often found quite early in game. Although the drop rate is quite low."

As the name suggests, this version was to test out the Minecraft Survival Mode. Survival Test is much different compared to what Minecraft is today. Pigs and Sheep would drop Mushrooms which was the only food item at the time. Players could find Red Mushrooms, but these hurt a player when eaten. This version also had a point system where each mob awarded different amounts of points. In this version, Iron Ore dropped Iron Blocks, Creepers did melee damage, Gold Ore dropped Gold Blocks, and Coal Ore dropped Slabs. Creepers also exploded when they were killed. When a player destroys a block of Wood, it would drop 3—5 Wooden Planks in this version as well."

Also:http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/survival-mode/297051-witch-farm-spawn-rate According to the Minecraft Wiki, witches will only spawn at night time in addition to when the witch hut was created. However, witches do despawn when you are out of range so this is likely the problem. Also, if the witch hut is close to another naturally occurring structure such as a jungle temple, there's a chance the witch may have spawned there.^ this is over a year old. There are many players who claim that witches spawn during low light levels and despawn when you get far enough away.share improve this answeranswered Jul 24 '14 at 17:05Nohl131 3add 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.

Cows also provide leather, which can be made into armour, and is essential for crafting books. Cows can be milked by right-clicking on them whilst holding a bucket. Sheep provide wool, which is used to make beds, banners and can be used as a building block. Pigs can be ridden, after a fashion, but you would be better off with a horse The same techniques also apply to chickens, but they also lay eggs, which is an easier way to increase their numbers. You can farm chickens the same way as other animals (see the basic tutorial ), but you might want to use an improved farm design that collects the eggs for you. What you will need Food The essential thing you will need for farming is food for the animals. Get some of that before you start!Cows and sheep eat wheat. Pigs eat carrots, potatoes or beetroot. Chickens eat seeds (most easily obtained from wheat or long grass, but they will eat any kind of seed, such as pumpkin or melon seeds).###Wood You will also want to harvest some wood to construct fences and gates to build enclosures."

The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and parrots. Because a parrot is a passive mob, it will never attack you in the game (Creative or Survival mode). Health Points In Minecraft, a parrot has 3 hearts for health. This gives a parrot 6 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a parrot, you need to inflict 6 points of damage to the parrot.

"text": "How To Fit Hockey Shin Guards How To Size Hockey Shin Guards Shin guards are hockey pads designed to protect the lower leg and knee from contact with pucks, sticks and collisions. Choosing a good hockey shin guard is essential for in proper leg and knee protection. To determine your size, measure the length of the shin from the center of the kneecap to the top of the boot of the skate with when your leg is bent at a 90 degree angle. A proper fit enables the knee pad portion of the shin guard to sit directly in the center of the kneecap. The length of the shin guard should extend the entire length of the leg, touching the top of the skate. If the shin guard is too long, the skate will push it up. ; A correctly sized hockey shin guard fits comfortably under the hockey skate tongue without shifting, although some players prefer to wear the shin guard over the tongue. For players who prefer to wear the shin guard over the tongue, they should consider moving up a size to account for the extra space. Look for a hockey shin guard that has frontal protection, as well as protects the back of the leg. Make sure to test out the straps of the shin guard to ensure a tight hold to keep the pad in place."

It seems that is part of the right to athletic manhood. Every little kid always asks the older high school athlete if they can “slam”. Sometimes the response is I can get rim or can dunk a tennis ball. Once an athlete has broken “the dunk barrier”, they get creative, one-hand, two-hand, tomahawk, one step, two legs, reverse. Dreams of entering the NBA dunk contest are always in the back of player’s mind, and the 5’7 Spud Webb only encouraged everyone’s dreams.

"text": "Tweet Lower Leg Pain Discover the fix for shin splints, Achilles tendinitis and other common running injuries of the lower leg. E-mail this page Printer-friendly page By Josh Clark While every lower-leg injury has its specific biomechanical causes, all are rooted in tight calf muscles and relative weakness in the front leg muscles. What's going on is that your tight calves are pulling up on your heel, which in turn pulls the front of your foot down. This puts strain on the muscles in the front of your leg, which unfortunately are not strong enough to resist the pulling. Ouch. This is very, very common in runners, since running tends to exercise the calf muscles more than those in the front. As a result, you may eventually experience one or many of the injuries listed in this section. But fear not, a little rest and a lot of stretching and strengthening will fix you up and possibly make you a better runner, too. Anterior shin splints Posterior shin splints Achilles Tendinitis Pain in the mid-calf Anterior Shin Splints Description: Pain in the front and outer edge of your legs. If the strain continues, it is possible that micro-fractures may form in your tibia; these are stress fractures."

"text": "Healing Time for Shin Splintsby SARAHR Aug. 14, 2017Repetitive activities can lead to a painful inflammation of muscles, tendons and periosteum of the tibia. This condition is called medial tibial stress syndrome, or shin splints. An overuse injury, shin splints are caused by over-stressing the shinbone and the connective tissues that attach the muscles to the bone. Shin splints are a common, running-related injury, and although they can be painful, they are preventable and easily treated. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Symptoms Shin splints typically present as a pain, soreness or tenderness along the calf or the inner part of the tibia. This may be coupled with swelling. The scope of these symptoms depends greatly on how much stress and damage the lower legs have suffered. In the beginning, the pain may only occur at the ending and beginning of a workout. However, if the lower legs do not get an opportunity to recover, the pain may become continuous and localized. In severe cases, shin splints may progress from a stress reaction to an actual stress fracture."

Despite the fact that I love beauty products, I’m not a makeup girl; which is why I definitely never thought I'd be an eyelash extensions one. While I appreciate all things complexion-enhancing—like sheer foundations, dewy highlighters, and pretty peach blushes—I only break out mascara on my birthday, when I have a big meeting, or if I’m going to a wedding. Even then, it’s the very subtle Clinique Naturally Glossy in Brown or my trusty tube of YSL Babydoll if I’m “going big.” So, ahead of my own wedding, it was very out of character for me to make an appointment to get lash extensions. It was even more out of character that I absolutely freaking loved them. My first appointment was three weeks before to “try them out.” Within a month, I went back two more times: The day before my flight (about a week out from my wedding day), and right before I left for my honeymoon. Obsession is an understatement. Here’s the thing I discovered about eyelash extensions: They make you feel more glamorous than you thought possible."

In our training we push ourselves to go longer or faster past the level of comfort. So, we deplete our fuel sources and can cause some stress on our muscles. Taking care of our bodies post run is important, if not the most important thing a runner can do to perform better. By not taking enough time to recover after a long run will not only hinder our performance but can possible cause bigger more serious problems. You all know I am BIG on recovery after running.

The aim of this study was to compare the protective effectiveness of polypropylene based shin guards with custom-made carbon fiber ones. Three commercial polypropylene shin guards (Adidas Predator™, Adidas UCL™, and Nike Mercurial™) and two custom-made carbon fiber shin guards were examined. The experimental setup had the following parts: 1) A pendulum attached a load cell at the tip (CAS Corp., Korea) and a fixed prosthetic foot equipped with a cleat to simulate an attacker’s foot. 2) An artificial tibia prepared by condensed foam and reinforced by carbon fibers protected with soft clothing. 3) A multifunctional sensor system (Tekscan Corp., F-Socket System, Turkey) to record the impact on the tibia. In the low impact force trials, only 2.79-9.63 % of the load was transmitted to the sensors. When comparing for mean force, peak force and impulse, both carbon fiber shin guards performed better than the commercial ones (Adidas Predator™, Adidas UCL™, and Nike Mercurial™) (p = 0.000). Based on these same parameters, the Nike Mercurial™ provided better protection than the Adidas Predator™ and the Adidas UCL™ (p = 0.000)."

"text": "Our cultural epidemic of weak and fallen arches provides a sure and steady income to the orthotics industry. But many of us still suffer from aches and pains that arch supports and padded insoles can’t quite eradicate. For instance, when you first hop out of bed in the morning, do you get a rude awakening from sore feet and tight calves? This is just one kind of soreness from chronic strain to a muscle whose job is to help lift the inner arch of your foot. Fallen arches can result in tendonitis and contribute to the development of bunions, shin splints, and pains in the knees and hips—and can even affect the lower back, neck, and shoulders. Fallen arches can result in tendonitis and contribute to the development of bunions, shin splints, and pains in the knees and hips. They can even affect the lower back, neck, and shoulders. The strength of your arches depends upon two factors: the tone, or tightness, of the ligaments that hold the bones of the feet together, and the strength of supporting muscles. When the ligaments are loose, or become loosened over time, we must make an extra effort to strengthen the supporting muscles. The muscle most immediately affected by the collapse of the arches due to loose ligaments is the tibialis posterior, a deep muscle that runs along the back of the shinbone and down to the inner arch of the foot, which lifts the inner arch of your foot."

"text": "\"Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)Shin splints is a general term used to describe pain in the front of the shin or tibia bone. This pain can be caused by damage (tiny cracks) to the tibia bone itself, tears in the tibialis anterior muscle, or tears along the tibialis anterior tendon where it attaches to the tibia. Shin splints are considered a repetitive or cumulative stress injury and are common among runners, gymnasts, dancers and other sports that involve high impact on the foot and lower leg. Approximately 10-15% of all running injuries are attributed to shin splints. This condition is also referred to as Anterior Compartment Syndrome or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, depending on the location of the pain. It is often caused by stress to the tibia and surrounding muscles due to an increase in athletic training or demanding training programs (i.e. marathon runners). Although \"\"shin splints\"\" usually refers to pain that occurs at the outer, front part of the lower leg (anterolateral shin splints), it less commonly refers to pain at the back, inside of the lower leg (called posteromedial shin splints). Both types are painful, with pain occurring anywhere from just below the knee all the way to the ankle, and can take a long time to heal without proper treatment. The most common cause of shin splints is continued, repeated stress to the tibialis anterior muscle and tendon, the extensor digitorum longus muscle, the extensor hallucis longus, the tibialis posterior muscle and tendon, and the soleus muscle as well as the tissue around the muscles (deep crural fascia) attached to the tibia. Excess wear and stretching of these tendons and muscles can occur with repeated stress or jarring of the tibial bone."

By Carolyn Csanyi; Updated March 13, 2018Often used to describe any small fish, the term \"\"minnow\"\" specifically refers to freshwater fish of the carp family Cyprinidae, which includes shiners, dace, chubs and fallfish. ( see References 1 and 2) Minnows typically don't grow large; adults are often only 3 inches long. A few, such as the fallfish, reach over 17 inches long. ( see Reference 2) Younger minnows eat algae and plankton; older minnows eat aquatic insects and other animals. ( see References 3 and 4) Minnows are often eaten by larger fish and birds, and sometimes used as bait by fishermen. ( see Reference 2)Young Minnows' Diets Plankton contains microorganisms; animals so tiny they cannot be identified without a microscope. There are one-celled organisms called protists, which are subdivided into flagellates, ciliates and amoebae. ( see Reference 5) The multicellular animals, called zooplankton, include rotifers and two types of crustaceans, cladocerans (or \"\"water fleas\"\") and copepods. All of these are herbivores. ("

It is the sole representative of this group and as such it is quite different from other native minnows. The body of the golden shiner is compressed and deep bodied with a lateral line that is deeply curved below mid-side and then rises again on the rear half of the body. Adults are golden yellow to brassy with dark crescents at the scale bases. The fins vary from an orange-yellow to a reddish color. The golden shiner is a large minnow and will grow 8 to 10 inches in length. The golden shiner is widely distributed throughout New York State. It occurs in lakes, ponds, and slow moving streams. It prefers areas of abundant vegetation and clear water. It feeds on a variety of organisms including zooplankton, insects, small fishes, and even filamentous algae."

New York's State Fish Brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis) were once widely distributed in New York State but are now most numerous in small streams and the headwaters of larger streams in mountainous areas. Fish in these waters are normally small but still have a dedicated following among anglers looking for a tasty meal who love to float a small worm down a mountain stream. Brook trout can grow much larger in ponds, and the Adirondack Park contains the majority of these, many in wilderness areas. Fish in these waters can reach 3 lbs. or more in weight. Selecting a Pond The first step in your Adirondack brook trout fishing adventure is selecting a pond to fish. Some ponds require a long hike to access; others can be found along roads. A good starting point would be the St. Regis Canoe Area, Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, West Canada Lake Wilderness or Lake George Wild Forest areas."

Most of our best-known fish- rainbow trout, brown trout, largemouth bass, and walleye- are not native to Montana, but were introduced by newcomers as sport fish. Montana's native fish adapted to a life in mountain and prairie streams over thousands of years- enduring wild spring floods, summer droughts, and long, cold winters. As new settlers changed Montana's landscape, the cycle of life changed for Montana's native fish as well. The eventual planned and unplanned introductions of non-native fish also added new challenges to our native fishes' struggle to survive in Montana waters. Like a family heirloom passed from generation to generation, Montana's native cutthroat trout are among the treasures that make Montana such a special place. Montana's native fish are Nature's Keepers and it's up to all of us to keep it that way. Management Plan Today, many Montanans are rallying to learn more about our nearly forgotten and somewhat mysterious native fish. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' Native Fish Management Plan will help native fish populations and their habitats. Montana's plan seeks to: Monitor the presence, distribution and abundance of Montana's native fish."

Here’s some new light to shine on the controversy. By Dan Anderson For amateur anglers, the long-standing debate about whether it’s jigs or minnows that catch more crappie is semi-serious — an excuse to swap stories and opinions with fellow anglers while quaffing adult beverages and waiting for those crappie to bite. But for fishing guides who measure their success and income by the number of crappie their clients catch, the question isn’t up for debate; their reputations depend on knowing the best tackle and techniques to put fish in the boat day in and day out, spring, summer and fall. Professional fishing guide Tom Hankins prefers jigs, such as this chartreuse-colored Baby Shad, because they let him cover a lot of water fast in order to find crappie. Photo courtesy of Tom Hankins. So, with quantifiable comparisons and results as our goal, we surveyed successful fishing guides for their opinions on jigs vs. minnows. We picked their information-packed brains for the optimum times and techniques to use jigs, and we took notes about their strategies for when and where to use minnows. The results just might force amateur anglers to find something else to argue about while waiting for those fish to bite."

FINER-SHINER™ is loaded with potassium and has the ability to help ward off the disease causing organisms which hard scaled baitfish are sensitive to. This is the finest product available for use with any type of shiner or goldfish. Use FINER-SHINER™ in all waters containing shiners or goldfish. This product is commonly used at fish farm raceways, in hauling truck waters, minnow tanks, holding vats, live bait wells, and minnow buckets. FINER-SHINER™ is economical and easy to use to help curb baitfish loses. One tablespoon treats 50 gallons of water and while one cupful treats 400 gallons of water. This product is specially formulated to readily dissolve and there is no need to wait before adding baitfish."

Also be aware that as fun as it can be, winter fishing can also be dangerous so always be aware of weather forecasts and make sure someone knows where you are. In the freezing cold water of winter, walleye become very sluggish and inactive preserving their energy.

"text": "\"Shrimp are small crustaceans that live on plankton, algae and any decaying matter; unluckily for them, they are extremely tasty to most types of fish. As they are small and plentiful, fish make them a staple part of their diets throughout the oceans of the world. While larger types of fish feed on shrimp, a few fish stand out that consider shrimp as their main source of food. Giant Squid The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is still a largely unknown ocean dweller due to its inhospitable deep-sea habitat that makes it extremely difficult to study in any great detail. However, the feeding habits of giant squid are known, with shrimp high on the list of preferred snacks, alongside small fish and in some cases small whales. With the largest of these squids weighing in at nearly a ton, they are thought to consume large quantities of shrimp to satisfy their appetite. Cuttlefish Despite the name, cuttlefish (Sepioidea) are, in fact, not a fish, but a mollusk and a part of the same family as squids and octopuses. Found throughout areas such as the waters off the Australian coast and western Europe, cuttlefish use their camouflage to hunt food that commonly includes deep sea shrimp and other types of fish. They have been known to survive in depths as low as 500 meters. Octopus The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is a fascinating fish that loves to feed on shrimp and other small fish, using its ink to first disorient them and then attack them."

Most crustaceans have appendages or limbs that are split into two, usually segmented, branches. Both branches originate on the same proximal segment. Larvae . Early in development, most crustaceans go through a series of larval stages, the first being the nauplius larva, in which only a few limbs are present, near the front on the body; crustaceans add their more posterior limbs as they grow and develop further.

The notable qualities of MYSISCompletely Natural: Unlike many processed fish foods, MYSIS are (or very closely resemble) a food item which fish would normally contact within their native environment. High Protein: The protein content is in excess of that normally recommended for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. High Animal Fat: Mysis relicta make nightly vertical migrations from 360 feet to the surface to eat, then return to 360 feet at daybreak. These migrations require enormous amounts of energy which is stored in MYSIS as animal fat. The consumption of MYSIS makes this energy available to fish for general metabolism, swimming, defending territory, and for reproduction."

These include electric eels, which are fish; rubber eels, which are amphibians; and spiny eels, slimy eels, swamp eels and eel catfish. Only members of the order Anguilliformes are true eels. These include freshwater eels, worm and spaghetti eels. Eels are generally predators and carnivores, and sometimes they're cannibals. General Diet Eels generally won't bother fish of a similar size, but do actively hunt smaller fish. Eels also eat invertebrates, crustaceans, shrimp, crabs and sea urchins. Eels kept in captivity may consume meat items such as beef hearts. Most eels don't eat other eels, but some will. Some eels move back and forth between fresh water and ocean environments."

In fact, 75% of all animals belong to the phylum arthropoda (which also includes spiders and insects). All arthropods have a hard exoskeleton made of chiton, a type of protein. This shell provides protection for the animals, and gives support for the attachment of the arthropod's muscles. Although arthropods grow, their exoskeletons do not grow with them. So they must periodically shed, or \"\"molt\"\" their exoskeletons in favor of a new one. Arthropods (\"\"arthro\"\" meaning joint, and \"\"pod\"\" meaning leg) also have jointed appendages. Lost limbs can gradually be regenerated after successive moltings.

Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2005 12:30 am Joined: Tue Jan 22, 2002 12:00 am Posts: 9029 Location: forever in the old hills of Arkansas Ok, folks, there are some very smart folks on these boards, so I have an odd question: I love seafood, but for most of my life I have not cared for shrimp. Everyone else would be chowing down and loving every bite, and everytime I'd try a shrimp it would taste like a mouthful of Clorox bleach. Blech. I'm not talking about a mild or faint taste here: I'm talking tasting just like bleach smells. I have since discovered that sometimes I luck out and don't get bleachy-tasting shrimp. Sometimes they taste wonderful, like little sweet lobsters. And even sometimes some shrimp on the same plate are good and others taste like bleach. Also the odd thing is until recently I believed no one else could taste the bleach. I happened to mention this to my sister when she was visiting my mom last year, and she commented \"\"I can't stand the taste of shrimp--they taste just like bleach to me!\"\""

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Shrimp Shrimp can be a unique source of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory carotenoid nutrient astaxanthin. It is possible for a single 4-ounce serving of shrimp to contain 1-4 milligrams of astaxanthin. In animal studies, astaxanthin has been shown to provide antioxidant support to both the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. In addition, some animal studies have shown decreased risk of colon cancer to be associated with astaxanthin intake, as well as decreased risk of certain diabetes-related problems. Importantly, the astaxanthin content of shrimp can vary widely, mostly in proportion to the amount of astaxanthin in their diet. In addition, the source of astaxanthin in the diet of shrimp remains an ongoing controversy. Since over half of the shrimp consumed both in the U. S. and worldwide are farmed, the diets that they consume depend on the approach of the producers. Both synthetic forms of astaxanthin and naturally occurring forms found in phytoplankton and zooplankton have been used in shrimp farming. In general, when purchasing farmed shrimp, we believe that it makes sense to select shrimp that have consumed natural and plentiful amounts of astaxanthin from natural dietary sources including marine algae and zooplankton. You will find more recommendations regarding shrimp selection in our How to Select and Store and Individual Concerns sections below."

All farm-raised shrimp and most of the shrimp caught by fishermen belong to the Penaeidae family of decapod crustaceans and are referred to as “penaeids”. The genus name is Penaeus. In 2006, the giant tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon) and the western white shrimp ( Penaeus vannamei) probably accounted for approximately 90% of the shrimp produced on farms around the world. Western White Shrimp (Penaeus vannamei): Native to the Pacific coast of Central and South America (from Mexico to Peru), P. vannamei is the leading farm-raised species in the Western Hemisphere, representing more than 99% of production. White shrimp can be stocked at small sizes, have a uniform growth rate and reach a maximum length of 230 millimeters. They breed in captivity better than monodon, but not as readily as many of the other penaeids (below). Hatchery survivals are high, from 50 to 60%. Throughout Latin America, hatcheries maintain captive stocks of vannamei broodstock, some of them pathogen-free, some of them pathogen-resistant and some of them in captivity for 30 years."

"text": "Crustacea FAQs What is a crustacean? A crustacean is an arthropod, meaning it is an animal that has an external skeletal support system with jointed legs and other appendages. Crabs, shrimps, and lobsters are well-known crustaceans. However, barnacles, pill bugs, amphipods, copepods, krill, crayfishes, sea fleas, clam shrimps, fairy shrimps, and many others also belong to the Crustacea, an ancient group that arose in the early Cambrian nearly 600 million years ago. Crustaceans differ from other arthropods in having two pairs of sensory appendages called antennae (insects have only one pair, and chelicerates, such as spiders and scorpions, have none). Unlike insects, which are nearly all recognizable in having three distinct body regions (head, thorax, and abdomen) and six legs, crustaceans come in all shapes and sizes, and can have many different legs and other appendages. Crustaceans are primarily marine (living in or near the sea), but many also inhabit freshwater and terrestrial habitats. Their habitats range from the deep-sea to the highest mountain lakes, and from shallow warm waters of the tropics to the deepest and coldest ocean basins. More than 70,000 species of crabs, shrimps, lobsters, and their close relatives have been described — more than twice the number of all amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals combined. Although the insects still rule in terms of numbers, the crustaceans are the most diverse in terms of form."

"text": "\"The Open Ocean The Ocean / NEXT: The Arctic and Antarctic »The open ocean, or pelagic zone, consists of everything in the ocean outside of coastal areas. The demersal zone is everything in the ocean near the sea floor or the coast. Separated into epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic and hadopelagic subzones, areas in the pelagic zone are distinguished by their depth and the ecology of the zone. The epipelagic zone is closest to the surface and stretches down 200 m. An abundance of light allows for photosynthesis by plants and nutrients for animals like tuna and sharks. The mesopelagic zone, also known as the twilight zone, begins at 200 m down and reaches a depth of 1,000 m and has a little light but not enough for photosynthesis to occur. The bathypelagic zone follows from 1000- 4,000 m in depth, a subzone containing the infrequent bioluminescent organism. Unique animals like the marine hatchet fish and giant squid live in this subzone, surviving mostly on the detritus that drifts down from the epipelagic zone. The abyssopelagic zone is located from 4,000 m to directly above the ocean floor and is a completely dark area home to colorless and blind animals. The deepest subzone is the hadopelagic zone, a name that originates from the Greek underworld Hades and refers to the ocean water in submarine trenches. Scientists generally classify the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones into what is known as the photic zone - or where light penetrates the water."

Open Document Beowulf, Sir Gawain and King Arthur - Three Heroes The three heroes discussed here, Beowulf, Sir Gawain and King Arthur, are heroes for different reasons. Beowulf, our earliest hero, is brave but his motivation is different than then other two. To Sir Gawain personal honor and valor is what is important. King Arthur, Sir Gawain 's uncle, is naturally the quintessential king of the medieval period. Though all men to a certain extent share the same qualities, some are more pronounced than in the others. It is important to see how these qualities are central to their respective stories and how it helps (or hinders) them in their journeys. The greatest value of Beowulf is his bravery, some may say bravado. There is no doubt that he is a great warrior. Beowulf's heroism belongs to a different time than that of King Arthur or Sir Gawain. For that reason his bragging about his prowess might seem decidedly unheroic."

"text": "View images from this item (16)Beowulf is the longest epic poem in Old English, the language spoken in Anglo-Saxon England before the Norman Conquest. More than 3,000 lines long, Beowulf relates the exploits of its eponymous hero, and his successive battles with a monster named Grendel, with Grendel’s revengeful mother, and with a dragon which was guarding a hoard of treasure. How old is the manuscript? Beowulf survives in a single medieval manuscript. The manuscript bears no date, and so its age has to be calculated by analysing the scribes’ handwriting. Some scholars have suggested that the manuscript was made at the end of the 10th century, others in the early decades of the 11th, perhaps as late as the reign of King Cnut, who ruled England from 1016 until 1035. The most likely time for Beowulf to have been copied is the early 11th century, which makes the manuscript approximately 1,000 years old. Nobody knows for certain when the poem was first composed. The contents of the manuscript Apart from Beowulf, the manuscript contains several other medieval texts. These comprise a homily on St Christopher; The Marvels of the East (also known as The Wonders of the East ), illustrated with wondrous beasts and deformed monsters; the Letter of Alexander to Aristotle; and an imperfect copy of another Old English poem, Judith."

Comprising over 2500 lines, it draws on a rich vocabulary with ancient roots, including many dialect words still in use in Lancashire and Cheshire today. It is a magnificent work which rivals even Chaucer in the beauty and complexity of its language. As a north-westerner and mediaevalist myself, I have been attracted to this exquisite work like Tristan to Yseult – bewitched by its power. Despite its age, the story and its characters are as fresh and vibrant as when the anonymous poet first put quill to paper over 600 years ago. It blends temptation and erotica with horror and suspense."

Tradition varies on his relationship to Arthur, but he is best known today as Arthur's illegitimate son by his half-sister Morgause, though in many modern adaptations Morgause is merged with the character of Morgan le Fay. In earlier literature, he was considered the legitimate son of Morgause, also known as Anna, with her husband King Lot of Orkney. His brothers or half-brothers are Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth. The name (from either Old Welsh Medraut, Cornish Modred, or Old Breton Modrot) is ultimately derived from Latin Moderātus . Contents [ show]Historicity Edit The first surviving mention of Mordred (here called Medraut ), occurs in the Annales Cambriae entry for the year 537: Gueith Camlann in qua Arthur et Medraut corruerunt. \"\" The strife of Camlann, in which Arthur and Medraut fell. \"\" The Annales themselves were completed between 960 and 970, though their authors drew on older material. Mordred was associated with Camlann even at that early date, but as Leslie Alcock points out, this brief entry gives no information as to whether he killed or was killed by Arthur, or even if he was fighting against him; the reader assumes this in the light of later tradition."

"text": "\"King Arthur King Arthur is an important figure in the mythology of Great Britain. He is the central character in Arthurian legends (known as the Matter of Britain), although there is disagreement about whether Arthur, or a model for him, ever actually existed and in the earliest mentions and Welsh texts he is never given the title \"\"king\"\". Early texts refer to him as dux bellorum (\"\"war leader\"\") and High Medieval Welsh texts often call him amerauder (\"\"emperor\"\"). However, a recent translation of newly discovered documents may have referred to him as a king. History of King Arthur One school of thought believes Arthur to have lived some time in the late 5th century to early 6th century, to have been of Romano-British origin, and to have fought against the Saxons. His power base was probably in either Wales, Cornwall or the west of what would become England, but controversy over the centre of his power and the extent and kind of power he wielded continues to rage. Some members of this school, most notably Geoffrey Ashe and Fleuriot, have argued for identifying Arthur with one Riothamus, \"\"King of the Brettones\"\", who was active during the reign of the Roman Emperor Anthemius. Unfortunately, Riothamus is a shadowy figure of whom we know little, and scholars are not certain whether the \"\"Brettones\"\" he led were Britons or Bretons. Other members suggest that Arthur should be identified as one Lucius Artorius Castus, a historical Roman of the 2nd century, whose military exploits in Britain may have been remembered for years afterward. Another school of thought believes that Arthur is at best a half-forgotten Celtic deity devolved into a personage (citing sometimes a supposed change of the sea-god Lir into King Lear) or a possibly fictive person like Beowulf."

He served as the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1945 and Merton Professor of English Language and Literature and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford, from 1945 to 1959.

Tolkien was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 March 1972. After Tolkien's death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and Middle-earth [b] within it. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these writings. [ 2]While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, [3] the great success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a popular resurgence of the genre."

"text": "COMMON FIVE-LINED SKINKPlestiodon fasciatus State Threatened Species Background: The state-threatened common five-lined skink is the only lizard native to Connecticut. Skink populations are found in four widely separated areas in western Connecticut. Five-lined skinks have been documented on bluffs bordering the Housatonic River in southwestern Litchfield County; on ledges bordering the Housatonic River in northwestern New Haven County and the Naugatuck River; and along ledges in southwestern Hartford County. The five-lined skink is rare and localized in southwestern New England. The small size and fragmented nature of skink populations leaves them vulnerable to ecological catastrophes. Range: The range of the five-lined skink corresponds closely with the eastern deciduous forest. The species is found in southwestern New England (currently Vermont and Connecticut and historically in Massachusetts), south to northern Florida, west to Wisconsin, and in eastern parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Disjunct populations exist in northeastern Iowa, western Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This species is at its northeastern range limit in southwestern New England; however, several populations are found in Ontario, Canada. Description: Five-lined skinks are smooth, shiny lizards with rows of tiny scales around the center of the body."

"text": "Lizards are reptiles, which means they are cold-blooded, lay eggs, and covered by scales instead of feathers or fur. Some live in trees, underground, on the banks of rivers, or in the desert. Certain species eat insects, others fruit, and still others prey on small mammals. They come in all colors and sizes, and are equipped with innovative methods of defense, reproduction, and predation. Depending on who is asked, the different types of lizards are divided into anywhere from six to 16 families. Each family shares general characteristics, like where they can survive, how they look, and what they eat. In each family are many different species. Some look like dinosaurs, while others are small enough to perch on the tip of a finger. Many people recognize the chameleons' human-like hands as they grasp branches. They are equipped with an opposable thumb and fingers to let them crawl through trees in Asia, the Mediterranean, and sub-Saharan Africa."

Armed with the knowledge of the interconnectedness of all life on earth, biologists have made startling discoveries. There is so much evidence in favor of evolution, that arguing against it is like denying that there is a moon in the sky. Yet people do still actively deny evolution occurs. Speciation, the formation of a new species from an ancestor species, takes a very long time yet there are evolutionary steps which can be observed. Here are eight examples, amongst many, of evolution in action.8The Peppered Moth I’ll start this list with a classic example of evolution which can be found in many textbooks. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths (Biston betularia) had a light, mottled coloring which was a good camouflage against predators. Before the industrial revolution, a uniformly dark variant of the peppered moth made up 2% of the species. After the industrial revolution, 95% of peppered moths showed this dark coloration. The best explanation as to why this change in the species occurred is that the light moths lost their advantage of camouflage as light surfaces were darkened by pollution, and so light moths were eaten more frequently by birds."

Most species are oviparous, and deposit calcified eggs, while some are ovoviviparous, retaining their young internally, inside flexible, transparent shells that hatch near the time of parturition. Other lizards, called viviparous species, give live birth and use placenta-like connections with their young. Despite this variation, very few species provide care to their young once they are born or have hatched. Selective Strategies The amount of parental care lizards provide to their young varies from one species to the next. For some species, it is advantageous to protect their eggs or young, whereas other species are more successful letting their young care for themselves. Highly predatory species may be tempted to consume their young, whereas others must disperse in order to acquire sufficient resources. Some species -- especially some stump-tailed chameleons (Brookesia ssp.) -- may not even live long enough to care for their hatchlings, which emerge months after the parents have died."

Stahl, DVM, DABVP-Avian 111-A Center St South Vienna, Virginia 22180 Telephone: 703 281 3750 Email: [email protected] The popularity of reptiles has increased tremendously in the last two decades. Over this time many species of lizards have become routinely available and their uniqueness and personality have resulted in their becoming mainstream pets. With so many species of lizards (> 3000 species) it is difficult for the reptile clinician to be familiar with each species that is presented. This paper will provide the veterinarian with a reference for the most common problems seen in common species or groups of lizards. The number of conditions and syndromes described for the lizard species discussed here will increase as we continue to see more of these patients in practice, share our clinical experiences and as our diagnostic capabilities improve. The complexity of care necessary for these diverse lizard species is at the root of most problems seen with pet lizards. A primary goal is to improve husbandry by attempting to provide a captive environment and diet that is similar to the natural history of the lizard. References for natural history, husbandry and captive breeding information for the species of lizards described in this paper are sited at the initial heading for each species. Bearded Dragons (Pogona vitticeps) 1-4 and Frilled Lizards (Chlamydosaurus kingi) 3,4,Intestinal Parasitism (Coccidia, oxyurids, flagellates)Coccidiosis is a common parasitic disease of bearded dragons.5, 6 The bearded dragon has its own species of coccidia known as Isospora amphiboluri. This coccidian lives in the small intestine, replicating in the mucosal lining to produce an oocyst."

Just stick out your tongue!Tongue This skink and its relatives have blue tongues--why? When threatened, these animals open their bright pink mouths wide, hiss and stick out their big blue tongues. This scares away predators. Legs Short legs make it hard for this animal to dig its own burrows. Blue-tongues tend to live in burrows made by other animals, in hollow logs or in leaf litter. Eyelids To block light or keep out dirt, this skink, like many lizards, moves its lower lid up, rather than its upper lid down. Some lizards have a transparent window in the lower eyelid, so the animal can see with its eyes closed.

Distribution: Australia & Surrounding Areas Size: 1' - 2'Natural History Blue tongue skinks belong to the genus Tiliqua, in which they comprise a number of species and sub-species. These animals are found in the wild throughout much of New Guinea and Australia. While animals are still exported from their countries of origin in New Guinea, all blue tongue skins of Australian origin are captive bred, mostly in the United States, Europe, and Japan. In nature, blue tongue skinks are found in a wide variety of habitats. Animals hailing from Australia’s interior deserts are adapted to a harsh desert lifestyle, while those species from more northern ranges are used to a more tropical environment. These animals get their common name from the bright blue tongues that they possess and display when startled or during territorial disputes. As pets, they rank high on the list as a result of their gentile demeanor, appearance, and ease of care. Size and Longevity While the adult size of these animals will vary based on species and sex, most adult blue tongue skins are between 14 and 18 inches in total length. These skinks are extremely hardy and do very well in the terrarium."

The orange or red rings that encircle their prominent black eyes give them a charisma of their own. Crocodile skinks look like small crocodiles rather than members of the skink species, for which reason people refer to them as red eyed crocodile skink or red-eyed bush crocodile skink.

"text": "Related Articles Kind of Paint to Use on a Wooden Fence DIY Cement Pond Rocks How to Protect Wooden Fence Posts From Rotting How to Landscape With Rocks Instead of Mulch Three main species of coastal lizards are the western fence, northern alligator and western skink lizards. While all require rocks and foliage in their habitats, the amount and kind needed vary by species. All use rocks for sunning and hiding, yet fence lizards also scramble up vertical surfaces, such as rocky outcroppings, tree trunks, walls, woodpiles and wooden fences to escape predators or soak up the sunshine. Fence Lizards When it comes to plants, the fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) is particularly fond of trees with rough bark for easy climbing. Although not picky about types of rock, this lizard loves piles of boulders for rapid vertical escapes from predators as well as warm places to hang out. Fence lizards, which encompass species such as the coast range fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis bocourtii), are among the most common and quickest moving reptiles in North America. About 8 inches long, they are usually tan, gray or brown but may also appear black in some places, such as on lava rocks. Males have blue throats and bellies. Sunny, open areas appeal to the western fence lizard, whether along waterways, in woodlands, among shrubby chaparral meadows or in suburban backyards. Aside from eating insects, fence lizards are useful because they contain a substance that renders ticks incapable of spreading Lyme disease after they bite the lizards."

Description It is relatively small with a black body with yellow stripes going to a bright blue tail. The blue-tailed skink is one of the most common lizards found in the United States. Also called the five-lined skink because of the five cream-colored lines along the top and sides of its body, this little guy grows to a maximum length of about 8.5 inches, including its 5-inch tail. Young skinks have a bright-blue tail, which distracts predators' attention away from its body and breaks off when the young lizard is attacked. Blue-tailed skinks are lively with a lot of personality and make a good pet if you know how to provide the proper environment and care. Characteristics When they become frightened they have the ability to pop their tail off and it will continue to wiggle and distract their predator while they run away. When young they have a dark black body with bright yellow stripes leading from the back of the neck down to the meeting of the bright blue tail. As the juvenile males age, they lose their yellowish stripes and their back starts to become a brownish black color, and they begin to grow a reddish color underneath the neck during the mating seasons. Females usually keep their blue tail for their whole life, though."

There are also many opportunistic species of lizard that can be frequently found living in gardens, in close proximity to humans, including geckos and skinks and countless other species. Lizards in the family Agamidae, commonly called agamas and belonging to the genus Agama, are endemic to Africa and Asia. Quite common, these lizards seek out habitats that are relatively dry, such as deserts, rocky steppes and forest edges. Agamas are primarily insectivores, but may also feed on small rodents, other reptiles and some fruits and vegetables. In captivity, agamas are usually fed crickets and day-old mice. Agamas also are sometimes called dragons or dragon lizards. These lizards are muscular in appearance, with strong legs and wedge-shaped heads that, in many species, are large compared to body size.

"text": "Breeding & Baby Care Breeding Food & Feeding Health & Illness Housing & Cage Information Vitamin & Supplement Pregnancy of Female Blue Tongue Skink12Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Before the start of the breeding process, the first thing that you must do is to weigh your female lizard so that you have a good estimation of weight increase in case of pregnancy. A female blue tongue skink produces around six to nine babies at one point in time but it may be difficult to tell initially if the female lizard is actually pregnant or not. Sometimes it may happen that the female is overly aggressive and may instead hurt the male during mating. This can be because of a number of reasons; the most common reason is that the female may not be ovulating at the time i.e. it may not be ready for breeding at all. In such situations, the best thing to do is to remove the female from the cage and to wait for her to actually get ready. Sometimes it may happen that the female acts defensively thinking that she is being attacked. In such situations, she may bite or try to scratch the tail or lower back of the male; you can try to calm your female skink down by placing a pencil or pen in her mouth. This will stop per from biting and in a few minutes, she will realize that she is not actually being attacked. As the babies grow inside the female, they press against her lungs and cause her breathing to become slow and heavy, this is probably the best symptom of knowing that our lizard is going to have babies real soon. The gestation period for most of the skink lizards last from three to six months (depending on the kind of specie) and during this time, your lizard tends to suffer from sever mood swings."

Because of a slow lorises location (habitat), it has access to many fruits, plant matter, and insects including ants and termites. Slow lorises also eat plants that produce nectar, the gum (high glucose sap from trees) and even bird eggs. Their diet makes them primary and secondary consumers. Majority of a slow lorises feeding is on sap (about 35%), while plants with nectar (31.7%), and fruits (22.5%) came in a close second. Although the average weight for Nycticebus coucang is only 3 pounds, this species is known as a heavier loris because they have extremely low metabolic rates and eat large amounts at one time. Their average basal metabolic rate (BMR) (energy burned per day at complete rest) is 1.5040 W (the rate depends on an animal’s body mass and body temperature). Most experts estimate their BMR to be about 60% higher than it truly is. Nycticebus coucang has the slowest metabolism of all the other Nycticebus species. Studies have been done to determine the reason for their slow metabolism, but it has been found that it is not caused by a low energy diet."

This provides defence from predators and mothers also protect their young by licking the toxin onto their fur. Slow lorises are perfectly adapted to life in the trees with special pincer-like hands and feet. Being nocturnal, slow lorises use scent-marking to communicate with each other and males are highly territorial. Large eyes help them forage in the dark and they eat a wide range of foods from small mammals to tree gum. Sadly illegal trading and habitat loss mean all species of wild slow lorises are declining.

Someone more acquainted with the tree-hopping, furry creatures might guess they're related to squirrels or cats. But the truth is, lemurs are more closely related to you and me. Lemurs are primates, an order that includes monkeys, apes and humans. There are approximately 32 different types of lemurs in existence today, all of which are endemic to Madagascar; a single island country off the southeast coast of Africa. In order to understand the differences between lemurs and other primates, it helps to go down a level. Primates can be broken into two suborders: anthropoids and prosimians. Monkeys, apes and humans are anthropoids. Lemurs are prosimians."

S. Fish & Wildlife Service prepare a final Environmental Assessment (EA) and publish a final Rule to establish a nonessential experimental population of whooping cranes in the eastern U. S.? Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Service is required to prepare an environmental assessment for any action that significantly affects the quality of the human environment. The EA analyzed a number of different alternatives for accomplishing the goal of reintroducing whooping cranes as a migratory population before approving the use of ultralight aircraft to lead an experimental migration. The final rule establishes a nonessential experimental population (NEP) of whooping cranes for the purposes of the experiment, and authorizes the experiment to go forward. Why is there a plan to reintroduce a migratory flock of whooping cranes to the eastern U. S.? Wild whooping cranes currently exist in two flocks, a non-migratory flock in Florida and one migratory flock that summers in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada and winters near and at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Texas along the Gulf coast. It is possible that all or most of these birds could be wiped out from a single event such as a hurricane, disease outbreak, toxic spill, or prolonged drought. This makes the species vulnerable to extinction. To ensure that the whooping crane survives, the International Whooping Crane Recovery Team has recommended that an additional flock of whooping cranes be established that is separate from the single remaining natural wild migratory population. If successful, this project will result in the establishment of the second migratory population."

The coloration of their shom thick, wooly coat varies from a brownish gray to a deep reddish brown, and they usually exhibit a dark midline along the neck and back with a light streak between their dark orbitals. Large eyes that aid their nocturnal lifestyle, a rhinarium (moist snout), a hair covered face, and a 5 cm long vestigial tail are among their other features. They also have a tooth comb and a tongue comb, as well as a toilet claw on their second toe for grooming purposes. ( Only their first toe is truly opposable to the other digits.) Longevity: 10-14 years. Locomotion: The Slow Loris has lost the ability to leap. Its main means of movement is walking hand over hand along branches, in which it alternately places one hand forward and then brings the foot of the same side forward. It then extends the other hand and brings the other foot to that hand. It tends to climb slowly and deliberately."

While fresh water fish are not as high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids as their saltwater cousins (generally speaking), they are still a wonderful source of lean protein and can be high in B vitamins as well. Many survival enthusiasts are a bit intimidated by the prospect of relying on fishing to feed their family in a survival situation. They think that fishing is too difficult, too unpredictable, or unreliable to consider a viable option as a consistent food source. We at E2S could not disagree more.

Posted by: Nancy Gloman | 19 comments When you look out your window in the dead of winter do you ever wonder why you don’t see much wildlife? When I was in college, that question intrigued me. Little did I know at the time that my curiosity would be the start of a long career as a wildlife biologist. As an undergraduate, I was required to complete an independent study, and as a biology major interested in field biology, I knew my study would take me outside. Fascinated with animal behavior and questions like how animals prepare for winter, I decided to observe the Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) in the fall leading up to its winter hibernation. I spent my early mornings and breaks between class sitting in the woods and watching as these industrious creatures stepped up their food-gathering. Then as the days got shorter, the temperature got colder and they had cached an ample supply of food, they were gone—hibernating. ( story continues below)What is hibernation? There are several ways that animals respond to winter: they migrate, adapt or hibernate."

"text": "Slug and Snail FAQs13 Answers to our most frequently asked Questions Q. Where do slugs come from? A previously slug-free garden can be invaded by the creatures in several ways. Following the “grass is always greener” principle, slugs may make the slow trip over from your neighbor’s yard. Their eggs or the slugs themselves may also stow away in the soil of purchased container plants or in compost or manure brought from outside the garden. If soil conditions are suitable, that is, damp and full of hidey-holes and cracks in which to lay eggs, your new friends will make themselves at home. Q. What mulch won’t attract slugs? Fine soil loaded with well broken-down organic matter is unattractive to slugs as it lacks the fine cracks in which to lay eggs. For the same reason, using garden tools that leave a clean smooth surface are a better choice than hoes or rakes that leave egg-receptive creases. Compost with large pieces of bark, sod, or plant matter, such as straw, attract slugs and snails, giving them damp cracks and creases in which to hide and lay eggs. A layer of leaves, if left on top of the soil provides ideal slug habitat – better to till in the leaves to let them break down more rapidly Mulching with coarse sand or is another option."

"text": "Pets & Animals Birds Q: What Animals Eat Slugs? A: Quick Answer Animals that eat slugs include ground beetles, ants, firefly larvae, marsh flies, toads, newts, salamanders, snakes, hedgehogs, shrews, moles, nematodes, raccoons, chickens, ducks and songbirds, such as the song thrush. Nematodes are microscopic worms that target and kill juvenile slugs. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Animals Eat Earthworms? What Eats Beetles? What Do Ringneck Snakes Eat? Full Answer The worms enter the slug's body and secrete a chemical that kills the slug. Most animals have trouble eating slugs because of the sticky mucus that encases the body of the animal. However, the hedgehog has developed a means by which it removes the mucus from the slug's body. It rubs the slug in dirt and then brushes the dirt away to remove the sticky film before consuming the slug."

Slippery, slimy, encased in an unenticing coat of mucus and gore poised to cause the hearts of Britain's gardeners to sink. According to horticultural experts, this country is poised for an invasion of slugs, their cold, fat bodies geared up for a summer of unrelenting carnage in our vegetable plots and flower beds. A warm and damp spring has provided ideal conditions for these loathed molluscs to breed and to thrive, creating the stuff of gardeners' nightmares. Gardeners are bracing themselves for a summer of slimy invasion from rthe garden slug It is tempting to wonder what on earth Mother Nature was thinking when she came up with this most unappealing of creatures. In terms of PR, slugs seem to have almost zero going for them. Slow, apparently stupid, cold-blooded, horrible to look at and worse to touch - and all that before you even begin to consider their appetite and capacity for horticultural destruction. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next Gardeners warned slug epidemic this summer will be 'the stuff of nightmares'Share this article Slugs belong to a select band of creatures, along with perhaps the rats, leeches, cockroaches and tapeworms, which almost no one is prepared to stand up for. No wildlife or green organisation is going to use a slug as its logo. People will go to the wall for the seal pups or the pandas but no one will stick their neck out for the slug."

"text": "What do Land Snails Eat? Snails feed on a variety of food found in their natural habitat. What they consume depends on where they live and the species of snail that they are. Some conventional foods are plants, fruits, vegetables, and algae. Plants that are dying are often a good meal for them, and they also eat sand or soil when seeking for calcium to get a thicker shell. Snail diet Most terrestrial snails are herbivorous, but others are omnivorous and some even carnivorous. Each species has different eating habits, depending on their size, age, habitat and individual nutritional requirements. You will likely find snails around your garden as this offers them plenty of fresh plants and leaves to eat. The herbivorous snails devour a wide variety of live plant parts: leaves, stems, plant crops, bark, and fruits. Many consume fungi and mushrooms, and others may occasionally add algae, although these are an important food for freshwater snails."

Snail Helix pomatia, a species of land snail Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Helix pomatia sealed in its shell with a calcareous epiphragm Snail is a common name loosely applied to shelled gastropods. The name is most often applied to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name snail is also used for most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word \"\"snail\"\" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs. Snails have considerable human relevance, including as food items, as pests, as vectors of disease, and their shells are used as decorative objects and are incorporated into jewelry. The snail has also had some cultural significance, and has been used as a metaphor."

Sometimes juvenile snakes will eat different food than adults of the same species e.g Baby White Lipped Tree Vipers eat mainly lizards and frogs, while adults will eat birds and small mammals as well as frogs and lizards. There are many more species of snake that do the same. This is a list of food items that snakes eat Rodents Birds Frogs Lizards Other Snakes Worms Slugs Snails Centipedes Invertebrates Antelope ( Large Pythons and Boas)Crocodiles ( Large Pythons and Boas)Fish Eggs Some snakes will eat a variety of prey for instance Rat Snakes will eat rodents and birds. King Snakes and Milk Snakes eat almost any vertebrate prey including other snakes. Garter Snakes eat fish, frogs and earthworms. Large species of Python such as African Rock Pythons, Burmese Pythons and Reticulated Pythons and large boa species such as Green Anacondas will start off eating smaller prey and end up eating antelope and other large mammals and even crocodiles. Large pythons and boas will however eat smaller birds and rodents if larger prey is unavailable. Specialized eater such as the Black Headed Centipede Eater will only feed on centipedes and nothing else. Common Slug Eaters will only eat snails and slugs."

"text": "What Do Slugs Eat? Slugs are a gardener’s worst enemy. Any gardener with hopes for a bunker crop needs to be able to answer the question What do slugs eat? Slugs feed on vegetation of all kinds—plant leaves, fruits, vegetables, fungus (such as mushrooms), and decaying plant material. A slug infestation can only mean devastation for a flourishing crop or a beautiful flower garden. Slugs have file-like mouths which grate uneven holes on plant leaves and stems, causing stress on the plant and/or killing the plant over time. Although they prefer to sneakily munch at night, slugs do not “leave without a trace.” Rather, they leave behind holes on plants and shiny trails of slime. They are most active from spring to fall, thriving in moist climates. Many people know that slugs do not respond well to salt, shriveling up while producing gobs of mucus."

Amazing Facts About Snails Of all terrestrial snails, amber snails ( Succinea) live nearest to water. Picture: [ RN]Generally, snails are looked at with disgust. Gardeners are particularly unfriendly towards their slimy cohabitants and everything thinkable (and some things unthinkable) is done to get rid of them. Too few people take into account that the world of snails has many interesting secrets to reveal: So for example, a snail can crawl over a knife's edge without hurting itself. Snails can go over water - well, at least they can crawl hanging from its surface. There are venomous snails, which kill their prey using a harpoon tooth, and others which besiege a mussel, until it opens its shell. Predator snails hunt their prey following its scent, through rivers and up trees, until the prey has fallen. Sea-living slugs eat jellyfish, only to collect their nettle cells and to use them for their own defence."

Free coffee grounds for your garden Coffee Grounds in Garden Coffee has become a very popular drink, and the process of making coffee results in something called coffee grounds. It is the solid dark brown material left over after making coffee. Households produce small quantities of the stuff, and if you want more, many coffee houses will gladly give gardeners their grounds. After all, it is just garbage to them. Since grounds are free and organic, they have generated a lot of myths for gardeners. The following is a list of the benefits ascribed to coffee grounds.

"text": "\"What are they? Slugs and snails are molluscs, like oysters and clams. They are both similar in structure, except that the snail is protected by a hard shell that makes it less vulnerable than slugs to dry conditions and the sun. Slugs and snails have a soft, unsegmented body that is 2 to 4 cm (.79 to 1.5 inches) long. The head has one or two pairs of tentacles. The front tentacles are sensitive to odours and sometimes taste, while each of the larger back tentacles have an eye at the end. Slugs and snails are known as gastropods, which means \"\"stomach foot.\"\" The foot located on the stomach is how they move around. Slugs and snails are also hermaphrodites, with both male and female organs. Snails have an external shell large enough to cover the entire animal, helping them to survive severe drought and heat."

Well, that's not entirely true. When I was two years old, my family was camping in the Coast Range, which we did all the time. I was playing on a log near the campsite when I started screaming bloody murder and scared the heck out of my mom, who thought I had encountered a bear (black bears were still common around there), when really I had spotted a large banana slug sliming its way along the decaying wood. That was the only time I ever feared slugs. Love of slugs is often considered odd. Frankly, though, slugs are fascinating. The most common slug around here and where I go camping is the banana slug."

Gould first gave these soft bodied invertebrates a scientific name in 1851. Some of the first studies were conducted along the Columbia River; hence the species name A. columbianus (Harper 1988). Gastropoda describes the banana slugs stomach-foot or muscular-foot, which allows them to slowly crawl on a series of muscular waves (Denny 1980). Pulmonata describes their small lung that opens to the outside with a pneumostome, the hole slugs breathe through. The banana slug is the second largest slug in the world, growing up to 10 inches in length. On average they range between 6-8 inches, with a life span of 1-7 years (Harper 1988). Their coloring is sometimes bright yellow, occasionally with black spots, or solid greenish. Individual slugs will change colors with alterations in food consumption, light exposure, and moisture levels."

The family includes 89 species divided into 19 genera. Only the Eurasian wren occurs in the Old World, where in Anglophone regions, it is commonly known simply as the \"\"wren\"\", as it is the originator of the name. The name wren has been applied to other, unrelated birds, particularly the New Zealand wrens ( Acanthisittidae) and the Australian wrens ( Maluridae ). Most wrens are small and rather inconspicuous, except for their loud and often complex songs. Notable exceptions are the relatively large members of the genus Campylorhynchus, which can be quite bold in their behavior. Wrens have short wings that are barred in most species, and they often hold their tails upright. As far as known, wrens are primarily insectivorous, eating insects, spiders, and other small arthropods, but many species also eat vegetable matter and some take small frogs and lizards. ["

This webpage focuses on the Black-capped Chickadee ( Poecile atricapillus) (formerly ? Parus atricapillus ). The alpha code for Black-capped Chickadee is BCCH. Interesting Facts: On cold winter nights, Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers conserve energy by lowering their body temperature by 10 to 15 degrees F. While this may seem counterproductive, “nocturnal hypothermia” probably reduces energy expenditure by as much as ten percent. M. Roman from Georgia had a nestbox cam on an active bluebird nest, and observed a Carolina Chickadee pecking the bluebird eggs and removing them. Chickadees engage in winter romance - pair bonds form as Black-capped Chickadees aggregate into winter flocks. The protection of her mate is believed to help the female have better access to food and less bullying within hierarchical flocks, enabling her to be in better condition when nesting time comes. Chickadees usually get the crap beat out of them by other birds (see who trumps who .)"

As ones interest in birds grows, so does the desire to know them by name. Of course, migrating birds, just passing through, can bring almost any species to your backyard, but given a food supply and the appropriate habitat, certain birds tend to show up fairly regularly during the year in Alabama backyards. Even though robins are not seen year round in backyards, most everyone recognizes the American Robin. This ground feeder is so well known that it is used by the authors of bird field guides as the median size bird. It is convenient to be able to describe a bird as larger or smaller than a robin. Another bird, which feeds mainly on the ground, is the Eastern Towhee. The towhee is sometimes confused with the robin, since like the robin it has reddish-orange color on its breast. However, the towhee is smaller and slenderer than the robin."

This is why it is critically important to monitor your nest boxes regularly so you know that problems exist and then can take steps to resolve them. Below is a list of the main challenges and what you can do to prevent or solve the problems..... House Sparrows - the #1 challenge to successfully fledging more bluebirds. Insect Pests - insects or arthropods that infest the nest. Nest Box Competitors - birds or mammals that may nest in the box too. Predation - birds or animals that prey on the bluebirds or their eggs. Poor Weather - a common occurrence in spring. House Sparrows Of all the problems faced by bluebird landlords, house sparrows are easily the worst. House Sparrows (HOSP's) are an overly aggressive, alien species of bird that prefers similar habitats and nesting locations as bluebirds. The male sparrow is particularly nasty and will often kill not just the young bluebirds but even the adults and eggs too."

"text": "\"CAROLINA WREN: SOUTH CAROLINA'S STATE BIRDAfter posting last week's photo essay about Carolina Jessamine--South Carolina's state flower--we heard from several other state symbols who insisted we write about them, too. From the farm that adjoins Hilton Pond Center, several cows mooed loudly that we publish an installment about Milk being the official state beverage, and a recently hatched Carolina Mantid prayedthat we would give him his due as the state insect (below right). During the week an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail sailed by our window, trailing hindwing banners that appeared to request an article about its prestigious position as the state butterfly. However, the state symbol that really got our attention was a boisterous Carolina Wren that for the past seven days has repeatedly called for us to remind the world that he IS South Carolina's designated bird--and HAS BEEN since 1948. We always thought Carolina Wrens were crooning \"\"kettle-tea, kettle-tea, kettle-tea,\"\" but now we realize the actual wording of their song is a highly demanding \"\"picture-me! picture-me! picture-me!\"\" In deference to the wren's request--and as an attempt to quiet his incessant dawn-to-dusk singing--this week we offer photos and information about the Carolina Wren, South Carolina’s Official State Bird. All text & photos © Hilton Pond Center Carolina Wrens sing their song beyond South Carolina, of course, from Mexico north to the Mid-Atlantic states and west to eastern Nebraska. Although the species appears to be expanding into New England, Minnesota, and southern Canada, Carolina Wrens are nonmigratory and accustomed to somewhat warmer climes, so many individuals perish during cold weather at the northern edge of their range."

Many of them relate to the best type of food to provide, or whether particular foods are suitable for birds or not. There are different mixes for feeders and for bird tables and ground feeding. The better mixtures contain plenty of flaked maize, sunflower seeds, and peanut granules. Small seeds, such as millet, attract mostly house sparrows, dunnocks, finches, reed buntings and collared doves, while flaked maize is taken readily by blackbirds. Tits and greenfinches favour peanuts and sunflower seeds. Mixes that contain chunks or whole nuts are suitable for winter feeding only. Pinhead oatmeal is excellent for many birds. Wheat and barley grains are often included in seed mixtures, but they are really only suitable for pigeons, doves and pheasants, which feed on the ground and rapidly increase in numbers, frequently deterring the smaller species."

I know that it has to face in a certain direction; what is it?” The Newton Falls Public Library staff enjoys these interesting questions about birds. Many of us didn’t realize that birdhouses had to hang facing in certain directions. The Birder’s Miscellany: a fascinating collection of facts, figures, and folklore from the world of birds by Scott Weidensaul states that the overall dimensions of the nest box of a house wren should be 8”H X 5.5”W X 4”D with an entrance hole of 1.25”. It should be placed head-high in the yard or garden [p. 125]. Edward A. Baldwin’s Birdfeeders, Shelters & Baths has some very creative bird houses and feeders including ones which would be excellent projects to make with children. He also has ideas for keeping predators at bay. The Audubon North American Birdfeeder Guide by Robert Burton and Stephen W. Kress has a chapter on nest boxes: selecting ones to attract certain birds, box design, positioning, cleaning, maintenance, building, and garden threats. Burton and Kress state that house wrens are hole-nesters who like enclosed boxes attached to garden fence posts or in or near shrubbery or the edge of a forest, rather than open nesters like robins. They also have good suggestions for making your garden bird friendly, including protecting them from threats."

Answer by Cjonb Confidence votes 27.6KGenerally speaking, centipede bites are painful, last about two days (not counting the wound healing), and are almost never fatal. There are four major classes of centipede. All are poisonous, with legs that modified into mandidles/injectors. The degree of danger depends on the size of the centipede (the bigger, the more venom), and the size of the victim (kids, being smaller, get hurt more with the same dose). The toxin mechanism is, as with most arthoropods, varied, complex, and combines offensive and defensive properties. The offensive toxins shut down the heart (but again, not often in animals as big as humans). The defensive toxins cause extreme pain. Typically, the bite causes intense pain and sensitivity at the wound sight, followed by sharp pains elsewhere, some cardiac and breathing effects, and an odd muscular sensation people described as a \"\"sprained sensation\"\"."

The problem with insects and bugs is that they generally are nocturnal. They become active at night when humans are most susceptible to them. But before we talk about which kinds of bug bites that cause swelling, we should discuss a little bit about why bug bites cause swelling. Depending on the level of sensitivity of the skin, it should generally only swell because a foreign chemical is introduced. This is not necessarily a poison. Some bug bites, such as mosquito bites, inject a chemical solution into the area which keeps the blood they're drawing out from coagulating and clotting so that they can process it. This chemical isn't considered a poison, but it causes swelling nonetheless. Many other kinds of bugs bite even though they aren't poisonous, and these bites shouldn't cause swelling, unless the skin is overly sensitive. Bug bites that cause swelling are many and varied."

Even though all have limited mobility and range, the millipedes, centipedes, scorpions and spiders – like their arthropod kin, the insects – occupy widely diversified environments almost across the globe. Like the insects, too, they all have jointed external skeletons. “ Components of the skeleton meet (articulate) at joints, which allows one part of the body to move in relation to another,” says Barbara Terkanian in her article “A Vertebrate Looks at Arthropods,” which appears in A Natural History of the Sonoran Desert. “ Muscles spanning joints and anchored to different parts of the skeleton provide the power for movement. ”The millipedes, centipedes, scorpions and spiders, however, do have distinguishing characteristics, and each of the creatures plays a distinctive role in the desert food chain. The Millipede A millipede, shaped much like your little finger, has a multi-segmented body, with two pairs of legs on each segment (hence the name “millipede” or “thousand feet”). It grows and sheds throughout its lifetime, adding a new segment and legs with each shed. Typically, the millipede ranges from tan to reddish brown to black in color. “ The body structure of most millipedes,” according to the National Park Service’s Petroglyph National Monument Internet site, “includes a calcified head for digging in soil, antenna for sensing things like food, ocelli (simple eyes) for sensing light, mandibles for chewing food, a telson for waste excretion, and secretory glands for self defense."

Coming from Britain I instinctively think of invertebrates as small and innocuous, but the more you study biology, the more this is proved to be false. This list is fairly personal as the term ‘unnerving’ is very subjective, but I hope there are some entries on this list which are new to you. Here is a list of the top ten startlingly large invertebrates in the world.10Giant isopod What most unnerves me about the giant isopod is its resemblance to the common woodlouse, to which they are related. The giant isopod lives in the ocean at a depth of 200 to 2000m, and scavenge on the ocean floor. While a common woodlouse grows to around 1 or 2cm the giant isopod has been reported up to 60cm in length. There are several species of giant isopod, Bathynomus, found throughout the world but all are almost identical. The giant isopod is thought to have evolved approximately 160 million years ago and changed very little since; they have cornered the scavenging niche and have had no need to change. Because they are scavengers the giant isopod is absolutely no threat to you should you ever see one."

It may seem that a centipede has a million legs, but in reality, the long bugs typically possess between 30 to 70 legs. The pest (which is classified as an arthropod) has received its nickname as the “thousand-legger” because they appear to have lots of legs as they quickly move across a floor or wall. Ranging in shades of tan, brown, and red, there are an estimated 8,000 species of centipedes around the world [1]. Centipedes usually seek shelter in the outdoors under rocks, tree bark, and leaves, as well as indoors in basements and bathrooms. Because a centipede is an arthropod, they have skeletons on the outside of their bodies and possess segmented, jointed legs. Interestingly, centipedes are carnivores – eating other insects considered pests in households, such as spiders, moths, common houseflies, and cockroaches."

"text": "Silverfish not a Centipede Posted on November 22, 2011Silverfish are common insects that may infest and feed on items (especially paper items) in the home. They are commonly spotted in bathrooms where they enjoy the moist environment; they especially enjoy that room if there is mold or mildew to eat. They don’t directly harm humans, however, these bugs are considered pests because they can damage some household items, especially if there are many silverfish in the home. Silverfish are sometimes mistaken for centipedes, which do inflict painful bites. One way to tell the difference is to note how many legs the bug has. Upon close inspection of a silverfish, you’ll see that it only has six legs. Featureso Silverfish are small insects (between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch) and have shimmering, silver-colored scales. When they move, their tail end moves to and fro similar to a fish’s fin–hence the “fish” part of the name. Silverfish Chewing Habitso Silverfish do chew and those their chewing and eating may damage paper, clothing and other items. They also eat food items, such as sugar and flour and products containing those."

"text": "These arthropods are mostly a nuisance rather than economically or medically significant. They may be symptoms of a structural moisture problem that needs attention so should generally not be ignored, particularly if there are large numbers of them. The firebrat and silverfish are both bristletails (Thysanura) with similar appearance and biologies. The most common species inhabiting buildings are in the genera Lepisma (silverfish) and Thermobia (firebrat). The silverfish ( Lepisma saccharina) is about 1/2 inch long when fully grown and covered with silvery scales. It is grayish to greenish in color and its body has a flattened-carrot shape. The firebrat ( Thermobia domestica) has a mottled appearance with patches of white and black, and is shaped like the silverfish. Silverfish and firebrats eat material high in protein, sugar, or starch, including cereals, moist wheat flour, starch in book bindings, sizing in paper, and paper under which there is glue or paste. These insects often attack wallpaper, eating irregular holes through the paper to get at the paste. Silverfish may bite very small holes in various fabrics, including cotton, linen (they can digest cellulose to some extent), and silk."

"text": "Latest Science Everyday Nature: How I Came To Love House Centipedes By Jon Fisher February 8, 2013Follow Jon Centipede by Flickr user Rob Swatski via a Creative Commons Sharealike license. I’ve been called a lot of strange things in my life, but I never thought I could be called a nematode-lover. I certainly never envisioned a day when my wife would start referring to house centipedes – those terrifying huge invertebrates that seem to have a million legs and run at top speed – as our “honored guests. ”We’re definitely not “bug people,” so what turned us around? As an ecologist, I can appreciate that even unlovable critters serve valuable functions in nature like decomposing organic matter and keeping the populations of other organisms in check. Then again, I never thought the indoors had room for biodiversity or strange “guests.” Living in the aptly named “eco-house” in college (where a dirt floor basement and holes in the walls contributed to hefty populations of slugs, moths, flies, and more) forced me to get used to it, but it certainly wasn’t my ideal living situation. So you can imagine my unhappiness when I discovered several years ago that I’d moved into a condo chock full of house centipedes. Then the ecologist in me started wondering why they were there, and what would happen if I successfully got rid of them. I knew that getting rid of wolves in Yellowstone led to a number of problems (e.g. higher elk populations started to wipe out cottonwood groves), and that the centipedes wouldn’t be there if they weren’t finding something to eat."

"text": "Full Answer Centipedes have long, sensitive antennae that they use to detect their prey. Centipedes can run fast, and they thrive in moist places. Although centipedes can help homeowners get rid of household pests, centipedes can bite, and their bites are as painful as bee stings. Centipedes have 15 to 117 pairs of legs, not necessarily 100 legs as their name suggests. Centipedes, together with millipedes and other minor groups, are myriapods, named for their many legs. It is likely that myriapods or related species were the very first animals on land. They possess thin cuticles and require moist environments to survive. Centipedes have a pair of legs on each of their body segments, unlike millipedes, which have two per segment. In addition to the modified fangs on the first body segment, the legs on the last body segment are usually modified to function like antennae. Centipedes have simple eyes and poor eyesight and rely on other senses to catch prey, including sensing vibrations in the earth."

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department posted a photo of the insect on Twitter. The centipede was discovered at Garner State Park in Uvalde County in the Hill Country. This is one scary looking insect. In the wild, it can grow to be 8 inches long with a brightly colored body and legs. Officials at the University of Arkansas Arthropod Museum describe this species of centipede as \"\"fast moving and aggressive titans.\"\" The giant redheaded centipede is a predator that primarily feeds on things like moths, butterflies, spiders and other insects. They have also been known to eat larger animals such as toads, lizards, small snakes and other vertebrates. The centipede captures its prey with its claws and then stuns and poisons them by piercing the skin and injecting a painful toxin."

To see what small toads eat see the post entitled what do small toads eat. Most wild toads will eat everything from small spiders to large rats. This includes birds, worms, ants, lizards, slugs, snails, butterflies, crickets, centipedes, most invertebrates, and even other frogs and toads. On a personal note, just the other day my two older sons and I sat on our porch and watched a toad about the size of a golf ball eat small sugar ants as they crossed over a leaf.

Facts about Slugs What do slugs eat – A better question than what do slugs eat would be what DON’T slugs eat. Slugs will eat any kind of vegetation but prefer tender leaves. This means that particularly tender-leaved plants or seedlings are very vulnerable to slug damage. Slugs will also eat vegetables and fruits, causing unsightly damage to crops. Where do slugs live – Slugs thrive in a high moisture environment. When considering where do slugs live in my garden, you should look for anywhere that moisture may be retained.

They are both known to scientists as anurans, which comes from two Greek words meaning “without a tail.” However, we usually use the name “toad” for the ones that are dry and warty with shorter back legs and “frog” for the ones that are moist and smooth with webbed feet, but there are exceptions to that rule. Toads in North America are from a family of frogs called Bufonidae. They are dry and warty and somewhat laid-back, often walking rather than leaping or jumping. Of the more than 5,400 species of frogs in the world only a little more than 100 species live in the United States.

They crawl along on a single \"\"foot\"\" over a thin layer of slime they produce to ease their way. Snails carry a shell on their backs, which they retreat into when threatened. Slugs do not have shells. In our mild climate, they are active and cause damage virtually year-round. This time of year, they enjoy eating many of the cool-season bedding plants and vegetables in our gardens. Trees, shrubs, most ground covers and vines are rarely badly damaged by snails and slugs.

However a few Florida toads and frogs produce toxic or foul smelling substances in their skin, so it is always wise to wash your hands after handling them. The following Florida toads and frogs have the most irritating skin secretions: Marin Toad, Eastern Spadefoot Toad, Cuban Treefrog, and River Frog. Eastern Spadefoot Toad - The Eastern Spadefoot Toad gets his name from a specialized \"\"spade\"\" on the heel of each hind foot, which is used for digging backwards into the soil, as deep as eight inches. Although quite common Spadefoot Toads are rarely seen because they spend most of their time underground during the day, emerging only on warm humid nights to feed. A combination of very heavy rainfall and low barometric pressure lures them by the thousands to perform their intense mating ritual. This might only occur one or two nights a year. Hordes of spadefoot toads may appear out of nowhere, hopping across country roads just after dark, as they head for flooded fields, saturated lawns and drainage ditches. Spadefoot Toads can be distinguished by their yellowish eyes and vertical pupils."

"text": "What are Tadpoles?in Share Stumble Upon 1The name “Tadpole” comes from the English word tad for a “toad,” and poll for “head.” In short a Tadpole is a small creature that lives in water and through the process of metamorphose becomes an adult frog or toad. A more scientific definition of a Tadpole: ‘a larval amphibian; specifically: a frog or toad larva that has a rounded body with a long tail bordered by fins and external gills soon replaced by internal gills and that undergoes a metamorphosis to the adult’. Frogs are Amphibians and they do not have a shell or scales so most will live both in the water and on land to prevent dehydration. Amphibians have been around for around 350 million years with the earliest known frog appearing around 190 million years ago. Frogs are bio-indicators, which mean that they provide vital information (good and bad) about the environment to both scientist and environmentalists. If an area has a strong frog population it shows that the environment is healthy and complete, but if the frog population is dwindling or declining it shows that there is something wrong with the environment (air or water). Frogs are good bio-indicators because they spend part their lives both on land and in the water; they have a permeable skin and absorb and concentrate toxins in their fatty tissues. Raising Tadpoles is a fun and educational experience for both children and adults alike and where you can gain fascinating insight into a frog’s life cycle right before your eyes! Tadpoles need lots of care if they are to develop into frogs."

"text": "\"Critterguy / Care / Amphibians Care: Frogs, Toads, and Salamandersnorthern American bull frog (female)Basics of Captive Care Frogs, toads, and salamanders belong to a class of animals called Amphibians. They are vertebrates (back-boned animals) with smooth (moist) or warty skins. They lay unshelled eggs, usually in water, and most species have a gilled, swimming larval stage (such as a tadpole). Amphibians are \"\"cold-blooded\"\" (they aren't always cold, but their body temperature is dependent on the temperature of their environment). Generally Speaking Native Michigan amphibians need a moist (humid) environment, moderate temperatures (around 65° to 75°F), shelter from enemies and extreme temperatures, and nutritious food (most adult amphibians eat insects or worms or other small creatures). Conservation Catching one or two specimens of the more common amphibian species will not harm wild populations, but the large scale collection of frogs or salamanders by pet or bait dealers or the taking of frogs for \"\"frog legs\"\" can result in over-harvest and a serious reduction in amphibian numbers. Some species are already rare, due to habitat destruction or other factors, and are protected by state laws. Always check with the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division website ( visit their website...) for current regulations before capturing amphibians for any reason. Remember: frogs, toads, and salamanders are an important part of a healthy environment. Most species depend on ponds, lakes, and other wetlands for survival."

"text": "\"Toads are amphibians, so they begin their lives in the water and eventually end up on dry land. They are very closely related to frogs, and in many cases it is difficult to make a distinction between the two. Most toads prefer a dry environment, and have leathery or warty skin, though there are some species that need a lot of water just like frogs. If you have a pet toad, or are thinking about getting one, then you have probably asked yourself the question, \"\" What do toads eat ?\"\" Since toads are carnivores, they prefer to eat insects, worms and other types of live prey. What do Baby Toads Eat Baby toads are often quite small, especially right after they have undergone metamorphosis from the tadpole stage. That can make it difficult to feed them, though there are a number of insects that baby toads can eat. In order to decide what to feed your little pet, you should look at how big its head is and choose insects that are smaller than that. Pinhead crickets are a great choice for both babies and full grown toads that remain very small. You can also try feeding mealworms, grubs and waxworms if they are small enough."

Scientists imported it from South America via Hawaii in 1935 to control insect pests in sugar cane fields (see box “Biological control—it’s not evolution”). Starting with 102 individuals, the toads have moved far from their initial east-coast beachhead. Moving north, south and west, they now occupy over a million square kilometres and are estimated to number over 200 million. A major factor in their success is a type of chemical warfare. The toad’s parotoid gland contains a powerful poison, bufotoxin, such that even if one of these invaders has been killed, it can cost the life of the animal that attacked it. This has devastated the local fauna. Media outlets reporting on this war seem to be engaged, perhaps unwittingly, in another war—that of evolutionary propaganda. The propaganda war It is not atoms-to-amphibians-to-archaeologists evolution Media soundbites in this war have included how cane toads are “evolving longer legs to speed their invasion”; 1 are “evolving” to be bigger, stronger, faster; 2 and evolving “quickly”. 3 We are told that we should control them as quickly as possible before they “evolve into a more dangerous adversary.”"

I was curious as to how long it took when they would hatch. Oh and what do tadpoles eat? ? 1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Few days (like 5 or 7 days) depending on the temperature, it depends on the species what they eat, but mostly they scrape of algae and bacterial film of objects, but they can even eat from fish food as flakes if you would feed them that. It doesn't go for all tadpoles, the Clawed Frog larvae are for instance filter feeders and feed in the open water and I think the tadpoles of the Natterjack Toad are eating unicellular animals present in open sandy bottoms. In fact it is a nice subject for research and you could find out what they will eat and what species will come out. The harm done to nature will be minimal if you take between 20 and 50 eggs and transfer them to a nice tank of 15 liter or so. When they are grown up you should release them to preferably the same pond, because they will drown quickly if left in a tank with no place to sit and also they will start crawling out of the tank. In fact the metamorphosis of a tadpole is mainly the change from a grazer to a predator and it is not so easy to feed the small froglets or toadlets because they will need tiny midges and other insects for their food."

A: Quick Answer The diet of frogs varies depending on the species; most consume insects, snails, spiders and worms, while the larger varieties consume small fish, moles, mice, and even other frogs. Frogs consume primarily organisms that are smaller and lower on the food chain: flies, worms, centipedes and other crawling insects are among their favorites.

Credit: David Maitland Oxford Scientific Getty Images Full Answer Frogs of all sizes consume primarily meat, and will only eat food that they catch alive. Unlike most small organisms, frogs do not eat plants and vegetation. The smallest species of frogs feast on worms, larvae, mosquitoes and flies while larger varieties, such as bullfrogs, may eat mice, rats, moles and even small fish. Frogs, like snakes and some reptiles, lack teeth to chew their food."

Anglers of all skill levels can catch this very popular game fish, which is one of the reasons why they are such a popular species. You can fish for them with your kids or fish professionally so they suit all types of anglers. They’re a spirited fish meaning they will fight hard when you get one hooked. In fact, they have even been known to jump into the air a few times to try and get loose when hooked, which is an amazing sight to see. However, it does make it hard to hold onto your gear while they’re being so active so keep this in mind just in case and you won’t be caught off guard. They also make a great meal so this is another reason why so many fishermen like to seek them out. You can find the smallmouth bass in different types of water but they do prefer clear, calm waters."

"text": "Smallmouth Bass - Micropterus dolomieu Photo courtesy of Brian Zimmerman Overview: Smallmouth bass are native to Ohio and are found in every county of the state. They are known for their acrobatic abilities and putting up a very strong fight when caught on hook and line. Pictured to the left is a young smallmouth bass. Description Smallmouth bass have a fairly large mouth that extends to they eye but not beyond the rear edge when the mouth is closed. This characteristic distinguishes it from the largemouth bass where the back of the mouth does extend past the eye. Young smallmouth and spotted bass have an orange color in the center of their tail, juvenile largemouth bass do not. The smallmouth bass has dark vertical bars along its side with a brown or bronze colored background. Largemouth and spotted bass differ by having a black stripe that extends laterally down the side of the body and are usually lighter colored with more of a green or silvery background color. The smallmouth bass is in the Centrachidae (sunfishes) family, and is also called bronzeback, brown bass, brownie, smallie, and black bass. This sport fish typically ranges in length from 12 to 15 inches and weight from 1 to 2 pounds."

"text": "What do striped bass eat? Best baits to use Posted by Dan Eggertsen on June 12, 2011 in Editorials · Comments Off on What do striped bass eat? Best baits to use When talking about Striped Bass (Morone saxatilus), it is important to keep in mind that, even though Science still considers them one species, there are two distinct varieties: The anadromous, inshore Stripped Bass, and the land-locked, freshwater Striped Bass, also known as a Striper, or Rockfish. They have very different culinary preferences. Land-locked Striped Bass came into being soon after completion of the dams across the Santee and Cooper rivers in South Carolina. Built as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal, and completed in 1942, these dams created Lake Moultrie, and Lake Marion reservoirs. They also trapped populations of Striped Bass in the lakes, cutting off their migration route back to the sea. It was discovered shortly, that not only were they surviving, they were flourishing. It wasn’t long before they were stocked in large reservoirs across the US, and even crossed with their close cousins, the White Bass, to create the sterile Hybrid Bass, slightly smaller, but able to tolerate warmer water. Sport-Fishing was revolutionized with the greatest Wildlife Management success story ever."

"text": "Hair Jigs Are Versatile Smallmouth Catchers By Pete M. Anderson When smallmouth are shallow in spring and early summer, Bassmaster Elite Series angler Seth Feider reaches for a light weight marabou jig. Its subtle action is too much for them to resist, he said. Photo courtesy of B. A. S. S. / Seigo Saito Seth Feider knows a lot about catching smallmouth bass. The lifelong angler and Bloomington, MN, resident has showcased that knowledge the past three Bassmaster Elite Series seasons. He caught enough of them to win the 2016 Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship at his home state’s Mille Lacs Lake, and post other top finishes during stops at smallmouth fisheries. But it was a fellow pro angler who introduced him to a particular technique about a decade ago. Feider and FLW Tour angler Jeff Gustafson partnered for the Sturgeon Bay Open on Lake Michigan. It takes giant bags of smallmouth to win the twice a year tournament, where a nearly 8 ½-pounder was weighed in 2013. While the duo didn’t land any smallmouth that big, Gustafson did open Feider’s eyes to the power of a small hair jig. It since has become an important part of Feider’s spring and early summer smallmouth fishing."

Maybe they are some sort of bugs, or maybe even fish. Since it was spring and since you have Smallmouth bass in your pond, expect they are smallmouth bass fry. Let's investigate and take a closer look to see what happened for tiny eggs to become a group of free swimming baby bass. Maturing Bass Smallies mature more quickly in warmer southern waters than north of the Mason-Dixon Line. In northern waters, expect maturity at 2-4 years for males and 3-4 years for females. In southern waters, smallmouth bass mature at 1-2 years of age. Population density, length of growing season, average water temperature, abundance of food and water quality affect growth rates. Males and females tend to grow at similar rates. Numerous studies have shown that as older fish die, or are harvested from the pond or lake, smallies can have difficulty with recruitment."

"text": "Smallmouth Bass Tips & Techniques: Smallmouth Bass: Micropterus dolomieui Lacepedea.k.a.--> brown bass, browny, bronzeback, smallie The Smallmouth Bass is a slender, streamlined-shaped fish, which pound for pound puts up a fight that rivals any of the popular freshwater gamefish. No other fish jumps like a Smallmouth. Smallmouth Bass are omnivorous in the food they consume. The Smallmouth Bass is a predator, feeding mostly on fish, crustaceans and aquatic and terrestrial insects. Where crayfish are abundant, they frequently comprise over two-thirds of the food. Now that we know what they feed on, here are some tips when fishing for old Bronzeback in Canadian waters: The most obvious spots to fish are rock shoals and drop off points. They also can be found in deeper water where the concentration of feeder fish are more abundant. A depth finder is invaluable in finding the best structure. To cover large areas of water, diving crankbaits like Cotton Cordell's Rattlin Spot and the Rapala Shad Rap in silver or crawfish patterns are quite effective. When fishing shallow rock shoals, white and yellow spinnerbaits as well as shallow diving crankbaits have proven deadly."

Note that there are several zone-fishing closures along the floating bridges, and a minimum size regulation to protect juvenile Steelhead Trout in the spring. Opportunities for Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon are also available depending on the abundance of returning adults. Principal access ramps are at Kenmore, Magnuson Park at Sand Point, Gene Coulon Park in Renton, and Rainier Beach Park in Rainier Beach. Bank access is abundant. Numerous fishing piers dot the perimeter of the lake. Some of the more popular piers near Kirkland are located in Waverly Park, Marina Park and at the Old Ship Museum Park. Near Renton, Gene Coulon Memorial Park offers public fishing piers, and a fishing pier is available in Seward Park on the south west side of the lake. On the north end of Mercer Island, Luther Burbank Park offers a finger pier and boat docks for fishing.

But if you're wondering who would want to buy an Internet-enabled washing machine, you're not alone. Even Whirlpool's not so sure. \"\" We’re a little bit of a hammer looking for a nail right now,\"\" Chris Quatrochi, Whirlpool's global director of user experience and connectivity, said last week at a conference hosted by tech blog Gigaom. The buyers of web-connected washers, more than a year after launch, are still \"\"not at all widespread,\"\" he said. \"\" Trying to understand exactly the value proposition that you provide to the consumer,\"\" he said, \"\"has been a little bit of a challenge. \"\" It's a big concession from one of the most notable champions of the buzzy \"\"Internet of Things,\"\" in which even our humblest household devices gain web-enabled powers of their own. At a consumer electronics expo in January, Whirlpool said its \"\"kitchen of 2020\"\" would be piled high with not-exactly-necessary whirligigs: stove-tops that display the weather, Facebook photos and Pinterest recipes; music-playing refrigerators; oven burners that flame up via voice command.

Enough exercise and bad hair days mean that your cap takes on all the sweat and oils from your head and becomes little more than a smelly accessory hanging in your closet or hallway. Because of its construction, you may be baffled as to how to properly wash it. Fortunately, you have options for cleaning that dirty hat beyond the drum of your washing machine. Dishwasher1Spray or rub a laundry pre-treatment on the soiled or stained parts of the baseball cap.2Clear the dishwasher of all dishes and utensils before you place the cap in the dishwasher.3Fit your cap inside a plastic baseball cap form. If you prefer not to invest in a special form, you can still wash your cap in the dishwasher.4Place the encased baseball cap on the top rack of the dishwasher. If you’ve elected not to use a cap form, fit the hat around the upright pegs on the top rack and attach the cap with a clothespin that closes around the adjustable strap and a peg of the rack. You can wash as many caps as will fit in the top rack of the dishwasher.5Add the typical amount of detergent to the receptacle and close the door. Adjust the dishwasher’s setting to a normal wash with lukewarm water and no drying time.6Allow the dishwasher to run through its cycles. When the washing cycle is finished, remove the cap.7Hang the cap to dry from a pants hanger that hangs from the top bar of your shower or bathtub."

Traditionally these were pure DC motors - where DC was fed into the motor rather than AC such as is obtained from AC mains or via a transformer, but the boundary has become blurred as a BLDC motor or BLDCM = \"\"Brushless DC Motor\"\" uses electronics to take supplied DC and create required AC fields. Alternators and generators: Also suitable are devices intended originally for power generation rather than as motors. A car alternator is in this class. Due to industry attempts to lower cost a car alternator is harder to use in some applications than eg a BLDCM. Induction motors: These are the majority of appliance motors in the 1/4HP (200 Watt) to several HP (2000 W +) range."

"text": "Print Page Email Page What Is Hemodialysis? While healthy kidneys have several functions in the body, the most well-known job is to produce urine. When kidney function goes below 10% to 15% kidneys are no longer able to filter the blood and make urine. This causes toxins to build up in the body along with excess fluid. Fortunately, we live in a time when there are treatments and medicines that can replace the functions of the kidneys and keep the body alive. One type of renal replacement therapy — meaning a treatment that replaces kidney function — is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is a therapy that filters waste, removes extra fluid and balances electrolytes (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, calcium, magnesium and phosphate). How is hemodialysis done? In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body. The average person has about 10 to 12 pints of blood; during dialysis only one pint (about two cups) is outside of the body at a time."

"text": "A ASamsung hits industry high in washer capacity Edges out LG’s largest machine by cubic inches Published: January 14, 2014 09:00 AMFind Ratings Washing Machines Laundry Detergents Top-loading washers too deep for easy emptying have been a recent topic of user-reviews for a number of our more petite readers, some of whom use tongs to retrieve socks and other small items from the bottom of the tub. But Samsung announced last week a washer that should solve the problem—while hitting a new high for capacity in the process. Manufacturers have been boosting the tub sizes of some washers, which has resulted in ever-deeper tubs. But for the $1,399 Samsung WA9000, the company made the tub notably shallower—yet wider. While doing so may seem like a wash, with the two conflicting modifications canceling each another out. Yet the resulting tub is 5.6-cubic-feet, which is .4-cubic-feet larger than LG’s largest top-loading washer, the LG WT5680HV, $1,099, which has attractions of its own. Samsung claims its top loader can handle two king-size comforters at once. Available in white or stainless platinum, the washer includes a steam-cleaning option, along with sanitize and allergen cycles. The washer and its matching dryer, the DV9000, $1,399, should be available by the spring. With a 9.5-cubic-foot capacity, the DV9000 dryer also outdoes LG’s largest new dryer, the 9.0-cubic-foot LG DLEX8500V, $1,499, for tub space."

But the older models that many of us grew up with and still use on laundry day have old-school dials and controls that haven't changed since the mid-20th century. These ambiguous settings aren't the easiest to understand for both laundry novices and veterans. I've been doing my own washing for 10 years, and I still just pick whichever settings seem right and hope my clothes will turn out clean and unscathed. It's time to clear up the confusion and uncover exactly what all of those settings mean, and how to use them to wash your clothes the best way possible. The other settings can help you wash clothes. Jim Cochrane/First Light/Corbis Wash cycles Wash cycles are the types of programs your washer uses to do its job. They comprise a washing cycle in the beginning, a rest period, a rinse and then a spin to remove the water. Sometimes there are more than one rinse and spin cycle to get clothes extra clean. Most washers have a regular (or normal, or cotton) cycle, a permanent press (also called colors) cycle and a delicate cycle."

I can check my email in an airplane flying 35,000 feet over the ocean, but if want to throw a pair of khakis in with wine glasses after dinner I'm asking for too much all of a sudden. When I brought up this idea to friends and co-workers, many expressed concern over dirty clothes contaminating dinnerware. Why? The desired end-result for both my laundry and my dirty dishes is the same: get clean. And as the old saying goes, \"\"clean is clean\"\" (that is not an old saying but let's keep moving here). Either way, were I to throw my pants in a consumer-grade dishwasher, they wouldn't come out clean as desired. Hard, slick materials like plates and glasses only require a spray and rinse, whereas soft fabrics need to soak and be agitated in order to remove the absorbed and ingrained grime.

So what exactly do garter snakes eat? Garter snakes will eat close to everything that they are able to overpower. Cold blooded animals such as frogs, toads or earthworms are some of what garter snakes eat. They also consume slugs, leeches, lizards, insects such as spiders, rodents, amphibians, insects and birds. When garter snakes live or are close to the water, they would prey on other aquatic invertebrates or mammals but particularly favors frogs (even tadpoles) and fish.

A very common question or plea on just about every snake forum is “help, my ball python is not feeding” or “my snake was feeding and has nowstopped”. Much advice that is offered is simply not helpful. Hopefully this guide will help you understand the what, how and when of feeding your ball python and improve your snake keeping experience. First things: Firstly, you need to understand that most snakes will eat when they are happy and hungry. Snakes are not robots and unlike mammals they don’t always feed on demand. It’s very common for all snakes, particularly ball pythons to fast and go without food by simply stopping to feed for a while. This is natural and needs to be expected. Ball pythons in particular can often be described as binge feeders. That is they will eat well for weeks or several months, then they will stop feeding."

Small snakes eat insects, then as snakes get a bit bigger, maybe small frogs, other snakes etc. and then larger snakes eat mammals. Mice and rats are common, but large snakes can eat big mammals, whole of course. The feces of carnivores tend to be somewhat mushy, because there's not a whole lot of plant fiber.

It is highly essential to ensure that there are no holes in the walls of the house, barns or garage."

"text": "Yes, many animal species in the wild catch and kill snakes. Some of these species can even be trained in the art of snake extermination! Animal types that hunt and kill snakes include many species of raptors - eagles and hawks, honey badgers, and of course the notorious mongoose. King Snakes eat only other snakes. And believe it or not, common house cats and dogs catch and kill snakes too. Some species of dogs can be trained to catch and kill snakes. What animals keep snakes away - First of all, no common house pet will keep snakes away without special training, and even then, you put the animal at great risk. Cats and dogs may do a decent amount of snake hunting, but they will not actively patrol your property just for snakes. You will have to take into account, too, the fact that any house pet exposed to snakes will also be prone to bite injuries. If you live in an area with venomous snakes, this can be disastrous."

Some larger elapid snakes (cobra relatives), for instance, are best handled in this way. It is not an effective method for most vipers or other heavy-bodied venomous snakes, though it might be used occasionally on some as a specialized technique in certain circumstances. Usually, we use hooks and tailing only with very long, highly active species that will actually ride a hook well. Many cobras, mambas, and their relatives fall into this class, but it is a technique that requires a great deal of training and experience to safely master. In laboratory settings, we prefer to handle snakes by coaxing them into rigid plastic tubes that constrain the “business end” of the animal while allowing the handler to simply hold the rest. Sometimes, however, this isn’t practical because of the activity level of the species in question, or because getting the snake into the tube might expose the handler to too much risk of a bite. Our goals are always twofold, with equal emphasis on both: to prevent injury to the animal (including undue stress), and to prevent injury to the handler. The advantage of tailing is that it works for snakes that thrash violently when otherwise restrained, but it’s critical that the handler take precautions against the snake turning and climbing back up the hook toward his hand.1.6k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below If a snake catcher holds a snake's tail for a long time, the snake will die.

"text": "How Long Does It Take to Hatch Corn Snakes? By Todd Bowerman Corn snakes grow to lengths of up to 4.5 feet and are generally considered an easy snake to keep in captivity due to their tolerance of human interaction and their relatively low need for food. If your corn snake has recently laid eggs, they may eventually hatch into baby snakes, but they have a long way to go before this happens. Typical Clutch Sizes Corn snakes have the ability to produce quite a few young snakes per breeding session. The typical corn snake clutch contains roughly 15 eggs, almost all of which will hatch if conditions are kept right. Once the eggs hatch, the young snakes will quickly acclimate to their environment. Corn snakes come out of their eggs ready to eat and explore. Ideal Conditions If your snake has already laid her eggs, they should be placed in an incubation container with a lid. This container needs a moist substrate base -- peat moss, perlite, and ready-to-use hatching substrates are available at most pet specialty stores. The incubation container must be kept between 78 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the eggs will take 58 to 62 days to hatch."

Snakes are carnivores, and a rat or mouse is typically a complete and balanced meal for them. Certain species of snake can also eat baby chickens, guinea pigs, gerbils, or young rabbits, says Lorelei Tibbetts, LVT, VTF, a veterinary technician who specializes in exotic pet medicine and is the hospital manager at The Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine in New York City. Some snakes also eat insects, frogs and amphibians, earthworms, eggs, other reptiles, slugs and even birds. Does the Snake’s Food Need to Be Alive? Tibbetts recommends only feeding your snake pre-killed prey. “There have been incidents where live prey is left in the tank, and the snake doesn’t eat it right away,” she says. “ As a way of protecting itself, the prey will bite or gnaw the snake and severely injure them."

This means that they prefer to stay in damp and dark areas, such as under dead wood, logs, rocks and anything else that they can slide under. This means that animals that hunt for them either have to be able to turn over or dig in these areas or catch them when they are out looking for insects to eat. The salamanders' preference in damp areas means that they are more likely to be found looking for food in the night or after a rain storm."

"text": "Submitted by Sarah Fitz-Claridge on 23 March, 2005 - 12:47Please note that this is not intended to be legal advice, it is just my own personal layman's view of what I would do if I had children and I received a visit from a social worker, education welfare officer or other state official who might be in a position to take children away against their will. If you find yourself in this unenviable position, I strongly advise you to seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer immediately, and before you take any actions. This piece was originally posted on the Home-ed List on 5th February 1995by Sarah Fitz-Claridge If I receive an unexpected visit from a social worker, here is what I shall do:1) Not let her in. This is because these cases are lost and won on the balance of ‘evidence’, and the moment a social worker enters one's home, and starts taking notes, that counts as ‘evidence’. No matter what ridiculous interpretations the social worker comes up with, a court will at least listen to what she has to say, and treat her evidence as expert testimony. So the thing to do is to avoid getting into a situation in which the other side has loads of ‘evidence’ whilst you yourself have none.2) Bend over backwards to cooperate with the enquiry in every way that would not involve the social services getting damning ‘evidence’. So,- I'd ask them to provide a written statement describing the nature of the allegation or whatever it is they are investigating. It is essential to know what it is one is trying to refute. I'd argue for a full statement, not just a vague one.- I'd ask them what sort of evidence would convince them that there was no problem, in case there was something simple that would end it. That would on no account include letting them come to my home and ‘test’ my children, for the reasons given above.- I'd offer to go to their offices to discuss it."

Social workers who are licensed to diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders are called clinical social workers (CSW) or licensed clinical social workers (LCSW). They provide individual, group, family, and couples therapy; they work with clients to develop strategies to change behavior or cope with difficult situations; and they refer clients to other resources or services, such as support groups or other mental health professionals."

"text": "\"Social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems. Social work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment and domestic violence. Human rights and social justice are the philosophical underpinnings of social work practice. The uniqueness of social work practice is in the blend of some particular values, knowledge and skills, including the use of relationship as the basis of all interventions and respect for the client’s choice and involvement. In a socio-political-economic context which increasingly generates insecurity and social tensions, social workers play an important and essential role. For more information refer to the CASW National Scope of Practice Statement (2008). To access the Canadian Institute for Health Information's portal on the profession of social work, click here. Where Do Social Workers Work? Social workers work in a variety of settings: family services agencies, children’s aid agencies, general and psychiatric hospitals, school boards, correctional institutions, welfare administration agencies, federal and provincial departments."

There are 170 items on the exam. 150 are scored items, and 20 are pretest items that do not count toward the passing score.

Update: How much with a MASTERS only, i know that people with bacalors make likke 30 grand. But i wanna know how much with a masters degree.2 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: People get entirely too pessimistic about the pay of social workers. I only have my bachelor's, but am going for my master's. Depending on where you are, most Master's level social workers will be making anywhere from $35,000 to 50,000 upon entry depending on what area of social work you go into and what position. I think you should definitely do it. The best way to assess whether you can afford to go after a degree in social work is estimate the maximum amount of debt (student loans and other college costs) that you would be in after obtaining your degree and if your first year salary covers that, then you are fine. Good luck and I would encourage you to pursue the option if you are considering it. Source (s): Social Worker (BSW) enrolled in MSW program JBenn · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment This Site Might Help You."

Dear Nathan,To answer your question, Im sending you the following essay. ( Its from Ohr Somayachs \"\"Torah and Nature\"\" series available from our website http://www.ohrnet.org and by email from [email protected]). What is the meaning of a solar eclipse? To the ancient Chinese, solar eclipses meant that dragons were devouring the sun. To the Czechoslovakians, they meant that ice giants, bitter enemies of the sun, were conquering it. To the Romans, they meant that the sun was poisoned and dying. To the Jews, solar eclipses meant that the moon was passing between the sun and the earth, thereby blocking the suns light. Notwithstanding the physical explanation of a solar eclipse, there is also spiritual significance to it: At the time when the sun is eclipsed, it is an unfavorable period for the world. A parable: This can be compared to a human king who made a feast for his subjects, and placed a lantern before them."

( Complete answer on the NASA page Periodicity of Solar Eclipses. ) Intervals of 6 synodic months (177 days) between two solar eclipses over the same spot are rather uncommon. For example, on Kerrville, TX (USA), you will witness both the Annular Solar Eclipse of 2023 Oct 14 and the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 Apr 08. Intervals of 5 synodic months ( 147 days) are very uncommon although not really rare; being able to witness them on an easibly reachable land location and in good weather is very rare though. Move to El Salloum, Egypt, or to Al Jaghbub, Lybia, and you will witness both the Annular Solar Eclipse of 2059 Nov 05 and the Total Solar Eclipse of 2060 Apr 30.

From What Happens When You Stare Directly at the Sun (all emphasis mine): Snow blindness, arc eye, welder's flash, bake eyes—these all describe the common effects of staring at an intensely bright light source. But what actually happens to your eyes when you try to hold a staring contest with our closest star? It's not pleasant, that's for sure. Here's a look at what you shouldn't see for yourself. The moment you begin looking at the sun, you start to develop a sunburn on your eyeball. Of the three types of light that the sun produces—visible, infrared, and ultraviolet—UV is the most damaging to structures within the eye, especially when reflected off sand, snow or water."

By Joe Rao, Space.com Skywatching Columnist | September 22, 2017 04:36pm ETMORESkywatcher James Tse snapped this view of the partial solar eclipse on Nov. 25, 2011 from Christchurch, New Zealand. Credit: James Tse Editor's note: The Great American Solar Eclipse was on Aug. 21. It swept across the continental United States from Oregon to Georgia. See our full coverage. Another total solar eclipse will be seen across the United States in 2024. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth’s surface. But whether the alignment produces a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on several factors, all explained below. The fact that an eclipse can occur at all is a fluke of celestial mechanics and time."

"text": "\"The Importance of Astronomy in Mayan Society In the Mesoamerican culture, the practice of astronomy was extremely important. To the Maya of Mesoamerica, this ancient science reflected order in the universe and the gods' place in it. This order reflected an inherent harmony present in their general theological view of the universe. To the Mayans, capturing the essence of time was of the utmost importance. In their cosmology, space and time were inevitably intertwined, as is evidenced by their complex calendar system that combines spatial attributes of the universe, such as animals and plants, with temporal movements of astronomical objects. Although the Mayans never invented water clocks or other specific time-keeping devices, they used the sky as a method of measuring the passage of time. The Mayans believed that celestial events were indicative of communication with the gods. Specific astronomical objects represented certain deities, whose divine lives were portrayed in the daily, monthly, and yearly changes in their appearance. The religious aspect of astronomy was also taken one step further: to astrology. The movement of constellations and other objects across the sky represented a connection between celestial events and human affairs."

You'll learn the answers to these questions and more in Mr Eclipse's primer on solar eclipses. Before we learn more about the eclipses of the Sun, we need to first talk about the Moon. Phases of the Moon Phases of The Moon The Moon is a cold, rocky body about 2,160 miles (3,476 km) in diameter. It has no light of its own but shines by sunlight reflected from its surface. The Moon orbits Earth about once every 29 and a half days. As it circles our planet, the changing position of the Moon with respect to the Sun causes our natural satellite to cycle through a series of phases: New Moon > New Crescent > First Quarter > Waxing Gibbous > Full Moon > Waning Gibbous > Last Quarter > Old Crescent > New Moon (again)The phase known as New Moon can not actually be seen because the illuminated side of the Moon is then pointed away from Earth. The rest of the phases are familiar to all of us as the Moon cycles through them month after month."

"text": "\"Did ancient peoples really predict solar eclipses? Ancient observations of solar eclipses have a long history among many different cultures and civilizations which stretches back to at least 2500 BC in the writings that have survived from ancient China and Babylon. Ancient Chinese astrologers, by 2300 BC, already had sophisticated observatory buildings and as early as 2650 BC, Li Shu was writing about astronomy. Observing total solar eclipses was a major element of forecasting the future health and successes of the Emperor, and astrologers were left with the onerous task of trying to anticipate when these events might occur. Failure to get the prediction right, in at least one recorded instance in 2300 BC resulted in the beheading of two astrologers. Since the pattern of total solar eclipses is a very erratic one in time at a specific geographic location, many astrologers no doubt lost their heads. By about 20 BC, surviving documents show that Chinese astrologers understood what caused eclipses, and by 8 BC some predictions of total solar eclipse were made using the 135-month reoccurrence period. By 206 AD they could predict solar eclipses by analyzing the motion of the moon itself. In the western world, meanwhile, Babylonian clay tablets that have survived since the time of this civilization in the Mesopotamian region, record the first total solar eclipse seen by observers in Ugarit on May 3, 1375 BC. Like the Chinese observers, Babylonian astrologers kept careful records about celestial goings-on including the motions of Mercury, Venus the Sun and the Moon which survive from tablets dating from 1700 to 1681 BC."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Physics In which medium does sound travel fastest? Follow 36 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. The exact speed of sound in steel is 5,960 meters per second (13,332 mph)! But, this is only for the majority of solids. The speed of sound in all solids are not faster than in all liquids. Source (s):http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/Phys...

"text": "The Physics Classroom » Physics Tutorial » Sound Waves and Music » The Speed of Sound Sound Waves and Music - Lesson 2 - Sound Properties and Their Perception The Speed of Sound Pitch and Frequency Intensity and the Decibel Scale The Speed of Sound The Human Ear A sound wave is a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by means of particle-to-particle interaction. As one particle becomes disturbed, it exerts a force on the next adjacent particle, thus disturbing that particle from rest and transporting the energy through the medium. Like any wave, the speed of a sound wave refers to how fast the disturbance is passed from particle to particle. While frequency refers to the number of vibrations that an individual particle makes per unit of time, speed refers to the distance that the disturbance travels per unit of time. Always be cautious to distinguish between the two often-confused quantities of speed ( how fast...) and frequency ( how often... ). Since the speed of a wave is defined as the distance that a point on a wave (such as a compression or a rarefaction) travels per unit of time, it is often expressed in units of meters/second (abbreviated m/s). In equation form, this isspeed = distance/time The faster a sound wave travels, the more distance it will cover in the same period of time. If a sound wave were observed to travel a distance of 700 meters in 2 seconds, then the speed of the wave would be 350 m/s. A slower wave would cover less distance - perhaps 660 meters - in the same time period of 2 seconds and thus have a speed of 330 m/s. Faster waves cover more distance in the same period of time."

The wave doesn't just stop when it reaches the end of the medium. Rather, a wave will undergo certain behaviors when it encounters the end of the medium. Specifically, there will be some reflection off the boundary and some transmission into the new medium. But what if the wave is traveling in a two-dimensional medium such as a water wave traveling through ocean water? Or what if the wave is traveling in a three-dimensional medium such as a sound wave or a light wave traveling through air? What types of behaviors can be expected of such two- and three-dimensional waves? The study of waves in two dimensions is often done using a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a large glass-bottomed tank of water that is used to study the behavior of water waves.

A chest ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic exam that produces images, which used to assess the organs and structures within the chest, such as the lungs, mediastinum (area in the chest containing the heart, aorta, trachea, esophagus, thymus, and lymph nodes), and pleural space (space between the lungs and the interior wall of the chest). Ultrasound technology allows quick visualization of the chest organs and structures from outside the body. Ultrasound may also be used to assess blood flow to chest organs. Ultrasound uses a transducer that sends out ultrasound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. The ultrasound transducer is placed on the skin, and the ultrasound waves move through the body to the organs and structures within. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer processes the reflected waves, which are then converted by a computer into an image of the organs or tissues being examined. The sound waves travel at different speeds depending on the type of tissue encountered - fastest through bone tissue and slowest through air. The speed at which the sound waves are returned to the transducer, as well as how much of the sound wave returns, is translated by the transducer as different types of tissue."

"text": "\"Quicksilver (Marvel character) The Flash (DC Superhero) Jokes Comics (narrative art form)DC Comics Comparisons Who is faster, The Flash or Quicksilver?57 Answers Basheq Tarifi, Student Answered May 4, 2015Originally Answered: Is Quicksilver faster than the Flash? The Flash (any of them) draws his power from the Speedforce and are thus weakened without it. The first Flash (and current flash in the Earth 2 universe) is Jay Garrick, and he could run at supersonic speeds without the speedforce. Some writers have mentioned that he generates his own speedforce (smaller than the proper speedforce). Quicksilver, on the other hand, has his power due to his genetic mutation (he is a mutant, like the other X-Men, although due to certain rights Marvel could not use his correct origin in Avengers: Age of Ultron). He therfore needs no speedforce to run at superhuman speeds. In the Avengers/JLA crossover comic book, the Avengers visit DC's universe and the Justice League visits Marvel's universe. While in the DC universe, Quicksilver and Flash race but Quicksilver is astonished at how easily the Flash beats him. But when they were in the Marvel universe, Quicksilver races against Flash once again and he wins. Flash even gets cyborg to build a device that allows him to absorb and store speedforce, but since the amount was probably not as effective as the proper speedforce it did not allow him to run at the same speed."

"text": "\"Earthquakes: seismic waves The epicenter of an earthquake sends out waves which are like an object dropped on to a still body of water that sends out ripples. After the stone hits the water ripples move outwards from the centre in every direction. An earthquake releases energy as shock waves, the so-called seismic waves, which ripple across the earth's surface. The seismic waves created as they move from the epicentre an earthquake vary. What is amazing is how fast they can travel: up to 2 miles per second in granite!Seismic waves can be classified into two basic types: body waves which travel through the Earth and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. Those waves that are the most destructive are the surface waves which generally have the strongest vibration. Body waves Body waves are of two types: compressional or primary (P) waves and shear or secondary (S) waves. P- and S- waves are called \"\"body waves\"\" because they can travel through the interior of a body such as the Earth's inner layers, from the focus of an earthquake to distant points on the surface. The Earth's molten core can only be traveled through by compressional waves. P-waves travel fastest, at speeds between 4-8 km/sec (14,000-28,000 km/h) in the Earth's crust."

"text": "\"Location: Home > ask a rocket scientist > atmosphere > q0059Speed of Sound How fast in miles per hour is Mach 2? - question from Duane Williams I'm sorry to have to be so vague, but the answer to your question is \"\"it depends!\"\" The reason we can't be more specific is that it all depends on what the speed of sound is through a substance under certain conditions. Now if you had asked how fast is Mach 2 in the standard atmosphere at sea level, the answer could be found by simply looking up the speed of sound at sea level in a standard atmospheric table and multiplying it by two. Since the speed of sound through the standard atmosphere is 761 mph (1,223 km/h) at sea level, Mach 2 then follows as 1,522 mph (2,447 km/h). If you were to ask how fast is Mach 2 at an altitude of 30,000 ft (9,150 m), we would use the same methodology to find out that it is only 1,356 mph (2,180 km/h) because the speed of sound generally decreases as altitude increases. So your next logical question is why does the speed of sound change? To understand this concept, we must understand the physical mechanism of how sound travels. In a solid material, sound waves propogate through vibration. The molecules of a solid are very closely packed together and physically connected to each other."

What Are Seismic Waves? Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. Types of Seismic Waves There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in different ways. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves."

Spall is flakes of a material that are broken off a larger solid body and can be produced by a variety of mechanisms, including as a result of projectile impact, corrosion, weathering, cavitation, or excessive rolling pressure (as in a ball bearing ). Spalling and spallation both describe the process of surface failure in which spall is shed.

"text": "How to Repair Spalling Brickwork How to repair spalling brickwork. Spalling brickwork is a problem for many householders especially if the bricks in question happen to be soft reds as these are more prone to the effects of weathering and they are not very resistant to frost. The rain penetrates these bricks which tend to absorb it like a sponge and when it freezes it blows the face off of them, causing spalling. Other bricks, such as london stocks are far more robust and not so vulnerable to frost as are the soft reds. Also a lot of pointing, if done with a strong sand and cement mix tends to prevent the drying out process through the joints (where its supposed to happen) so it does so through the bricks causing the unsightly spalling of the face of the bricks. The only cure for spalling bricks is to take them out completely (which is not so difficult) and replace them one by one. This should be done carefully by drilling holes around the brick thereby isolating it, and not damaging the surrounding bricks. If you are not sure what type of brick it is and want to match it up exactly with existing,then simply take a sample down to Travis Perkins and they will find you an exact match as they have an extensive brick library at most of their branches (at least they do at their West End Lane West Hampstead branch)When you have found the correct match it is simply a question of inserting the bricks so the align correctly with their neighbours and then pointing them so that they blend in with the surrounding brickwork. They may not blend in exactly straight away until the weathering effect takes place, but after a few months they should look just fine.

"text": "\"Concrete Chimney Caps: What’s On Top Of Your Chimney? Have you ever wondered what that dome of mortar or concrete is on top of your masonry chimney and what purpose it serves? Here at Moore Masonry we get asked this question a lot from homeowners when they find out that their chimney cap may be in need of repair or replacement. Since most people don't get on top of their roof and inspect their chimney, people usually find out from a roofer or someone cleaning the gutters who is nice enough to alert them to a potential problem. As you can see from the above picture, it doesn't take an expert to know when there might be a problem. A chimney cap or chimney crown or chimney wash (it has many names) is a dome of mortar or concrete on top of a chimney that sheds water off of the chimney top while also locking the masonry together at its point of termination. Although the dome shape helps to shed water, it also absorbs water due to the porous nature of concrete and masonry. Through multiple winters and summers the chimney cap and moisture inside it is subjected to freeze/thaw cycles. This causes the water molecules to expand and contract which over time causes cracking and dislodging of the chimney cap. If caught early in the cracking stage sometimes the cap can simply be coated in a breathable cement-based waterproof coating."

The process of spalling also known as spallation is the surface failure that occurs when a material such as concrete, brick, or limestone is subjected to excess moisture, corrosion, weathering, and much more. Concrete spalling commonly known as (concrete cancer) is an eye-sore and has the potential to be an extreme hazard. Spalling of Concrete slab due to corrosion Left untreated and exposed to the elements will cause extensive structural damage and may cause it to break away from the façade, potentially injuring the public and damaging property. Spalling, at a low level, is mainly a cosmetic problem but it can lead to structural damage if not dealt with immediately. If left untreated, damage can occur to the reinforcing bars within the concrete. Also, large enough fragments could fall off which could lead to serious consequences. Prevention of Spalling Concrete Corrosion protection is provided by the amount of concrete cover protecting the steel Preventing spallation is usually done at the outset of mixing the concrete, by using air-entrained concrete, curing well,making sure to apply a water-repellant sealer after the slab is cured. The water-repellant sealer is probably the most essential ingredient needed to prevent spallation. After the concrete is done though, one can use a Concrete Treat as a sealer on outdoor and indoor concrete in order to prevent moisture from entering."

De-icers like rock salt can wreak havoc on your cars, your clothes, and even the concrete you walk on. While there’s not much you can do about the damage it does to your car and clothes, you can protect your concrete floors, sidewalks, and steps from the corrosive damage of de-icers.519-220-9714How Salt Causes Damage to Concrete There are three main ways that salt ruins concrete: Melts and Freezes the Ice Salt only melts snow and ice, it does not get rid of them As they melt, the snow/ice mixes with the de-icer forming salt water This salt water has a lower freezing temperature and therefore seeps into the porous concrete As temperatures drop the salt water eventually freezes in the concrete causing it to expand, creating: Chips Flaking Spalling Pitting Cracking Crystallization and Subflorescence As the moisture evaporates from the concrete the salt remains in its cracks Eventually the salt recrystallizes in the pores of the concrete causing: Flaking Spalling This process is called subflorescence Rebar Metal Salt corrodes rebar metal If rebar metal is present in concrete the salt will corrode and rust it The rust will create pressure on the surrounding concrete causing: Spalling Cracking Pitting As the concrete gets more cracks it becomes more susceptible to salt, which makes it break down faster How To Protect Your Concrete From Salt Damage When installing concrete make sure that it is high quality and installed using the best techniques and practices Use de-icers properly: apply just enough to loosen ice and snow, then remove it with a shovel or plow Get a concrete treatment (e.g. epoxy coatings)The treatment will seep into the pores of your concrete and will harden into a glasslike seal This will prevent saltwater from seeping into the concrete, where the real damage is done It won't break down when its exposed to salts, cold temperatures, or spilled chemicals Also makes shoveling snow and ice easier if your floor is exposed to the outdoor519-220-9714"

It took years of cooking for me to realize this, but if one were to design and construct a saute pan for each individual cooking task, each pan would have different characteristics. There would be a pan for making omelets, a pan for browning ground meat, a pan for cooking pancakes, a pan for cooking bolognese sauce, a pan for cooking salmon, and a pan for searing steaks. Some saute pans would have stainless steel cooking surfaces, some would have enamel cooking surfaces, some non-stick, and some cast iron. Some pans would have very thick layers of copper in the middle. Others might be enamel-coated cast-iron and still others might be cheap rolled steel with an enamel or non-stick coating. There is no single-best pan. There are saute pans that are good for one task and pans good for other kinds of tasks."

Here are some steps to help you do succeed in your project. Steps1 Learn about the basic design mixes used in concrete production. There are many different types, strengths, and compositions of concrete, each with characteristics that make them perform better for different applications. Here are a few examples: Strength is usually determined by compression testing, and is expressed in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). Normal concrete mixes range from 2500 PSI to 5000 PSI, with engineered design mixes of over 10,000 PSI used in specialized applications. Lower strengths are also available for grouts, but since these are usually used for displacement, block-fill, and filling abandoned utility lines, we won't spend much time on these products. Here are some common uses for different strength concretes. Note that these are not exclusive, as designers and structural engineers may spec different uses in specialized construction projects.2500PSI concrete may be used in driveways, walkways, and even floor slabs on grade. This concrete is usually the cheapest available from batch plants."

In reality, though, regular maintenance falls through the cracks while you juggle work, life and family. Sometimes, even the most proactive homeowners will be surprised by damage left by previous owners. So while in a perfect world, repointing would be the only masonry service the average masonry chimney would need, in reality you might find unfamiliar problems with your masonry. Masonry Chimney Damage Spalled Bricks Broken (or spalled) bricks are one of the most noticeable types of damage. This is most commonly seen when the front of the brick has either broken or fallen from the masonry. We’ve mentioned before that the largest cause of damage to brick and masonry is freeze and thaw cycles. Bricks are built to withstand water by finishing them with a hard non-porous outer shell. Spalled bricks break this shell and expose the porous interior of the brick, allowing water damage to destroy your masonry at an accelerated rate. Spalled bricks are primarily caused when mortar with an incorrect compression rate is used."

But how? The basics: The fried tarantula is to Cambodians what a Devil Dog is to Americans—a sweet snack that kids beg their parents for. But while the Devil Dog is pumped full of high-fructose corn syrup and preservatives, the tarantula is a free-range burst of protein, clearly the responsible parent’s choice. Tarantulas first started meeting with woks in large numbers during the tragically widespread food shortages of the brutal 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge regime. After the Khmer Rouge were ousted, Cambodians realized that their crafty survival skills had rewarded them with a tasty new chapter of gastronomy.

A regular sight for snorkelers is the spider crab. They are hard to miss as they slowly lumber over the seagrasses or sandy bottoms of the bay.

Coming from Britain I instinctively think of invertebrates as small and innocuous, but the more you study biology, the more this is proved to be false. This list is fairly personal as the term ‘unnerving’ is very subjective, but I hope there are some entries on this list which are new to you. Here is a list of the top ten startlingly large invertebrates in the world.10Giant isopod What most unnerves me about the giant isopod is its resemblance to the common woodlouse, to which they are related. The giant isopod lives in the ocean at a depth of 200 to 2000m, and scavenge on the ocean floor. While a common woodlouse grows to around 1 or 2cm the giant isopod has been reported up to 60cm in length. There are several species of giant isopod, Bathynomus, found throughout the world but all are almost identical. The giant isopod is thought to have evolved approximately 160 million years ago and changed very little since; they have cornered the scavenging niche and have had no need to change. Because they are scavengers the giant isopod is absolutely no threat to you should you ever see one."

But the flavor is similar enough that I find it hard to believe. I did a little searching and found conflicting information. One place said that only horsehoe crabs, which are sometimes also called king crabs, are related to spiders, and cautioned against confusing horseshoe crabs with Alaskan king crabs. Horseshoe crabs look completely different from what I've always known as king crabs. But many other places said that Alaskan king crabs, and other similar-looking king crabs, are a type of spider and not related to other crabs. What's the truth?

Feel free to eat your sushi rolls or nigiri with your hands! This is, in fact, how many in Japan eat their sushi. When eating nigiri, it's also recommended to turn the roll upside-down to dip in soy sauce to avoid absorbing too much into the rice. If you didn't grow up eating sushi, you may be confused when looking at a sushi roll menu if the restaurant chooses to leave out the descriptions.

"text": "Minibeasts Cross Curriculum Project Minibeasts are simply small animals: spiders, snails, slugs, beetles, centipedes, worms, earwigs, caterpillars – and thousands of other types of minibeast that exist all over the world. Officially, minibeasts are called invertebrates, which are animals without a backbone, and these are the most numerous type of animal in the world. In Britain alone there are over 25,000 species of known invertebrates. Unlike vertebrates (animals with a backbone), they do not have a skeleton inside. This makes them soft and bendy, and because of this, some of them have hard shells to live in. Some, like insects and spiders, have a thin, strong outside covering called an exoskeleton - this means they have protection for their bodies. They also have legs, and often wings, which let them move more quickly and easily than other minibeasts. Grouping minibeasts The term minibeasts is a useful lay term to employ when generally describing a broad group of small animals. However, it is more scientifically accurate to classify many minibeasts as arthropods. Arthropods There are many different types of arthropods, including: Insects – including bees, butterflies, beetles, ants, moths, praying mantis, cicadas, cockroaches, fleas, wasps and flies Arachnids – including spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites Myriapods – including centipedes and millipedes Crustaceans – including crabs, shrimps, prawns, lobsters and crayfish Insects Insects have six jointed legs and a body that is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen."

( usually this is followed by screaming or impolite words). This leaping creature is the camel cricket, a nocturnal insect in the order Orthoptera and the family Rhaphidophoridae (Rap-he-doe-fore-a day). They are light tan and brown, about 1-1 1/4\"\" long, and they don't have wings (so no worries about flying). Camel crickets are related to cave crickets and occur across the US, all continents, and most islands. They like moist, dark, and damp environments which explains why you find them in garages and basements. The most common species here in the US is the Spotted camel cricket but researchers are finding that the Japanese camel cricket is also starting to invade our homes too. Why Do These Crickets Look So Creepy? Part of what makes camel crickets so scary is that they physically look like big spiders, they come out at night, and hop when startled. This is why they are also commonly called \"\"Sprickets\"\" or spider-crickets."

The carnivorous creatures use their venom as a means of securing prey for upcoming yummy meals. How They Eat The tarantula approach to eating is a rather fascinating and unconventional one. The first step entails placing the razorlike fangs into the prey. Ouch. With one bite, the tarantula effectively renders the prey motionless. Digestive enzymes transform the prey into a liquid through deconstruction of soft tissue. Only then can the tarantula, which is unable to eat solids, dine on the prey by sucking it up.

This tarantula is fairly common, although it is not recommended for the beginner. Being an aggressive, fast and defensive tarantula it should not be handled and it is also a very shy tarantula and therefore will not be seen as often as some of the other tarantula species. Some keepers have mentioned that is one of the most aggressive, most beautiful and highly-strung spider in the world! The Cobalt Blue tarantula is a medium size tarantula reaching sizes of 13 – 15cm. The Cobalt Blue is a fossorial species, which means that it is adapted to life underground, and it spends nearly all of its time in deep burrows of its own construction. It inhabits the tropical rainforests of South East Asia, in both Burma and Thailand. Being an Old World tarantula this species lacks the urticating hairs found on the New World species. This means that their first line of defence is to bite, and they are quick to adopt a threat pose. They have being known to deliver multiple bites and their venom can cause medically significant symptoms."

Depending on their size, tarantulas eat insects or even larger prey, such as frogs, mice, and birds. They eat all kinds of insects, especially larger ones like crickets and grasshoppers, June beetles, cicadas, millipedes, caterpillars and other spiders. Larger tarantulas will also eat frogs, toads, small rodents, lizards, bats and small snakes.

How Tarantulas Catch and Eat Their Prey Like other spiders, tarantulas cannot eat their prey in solid form. When a tarantula captures a live meal, it first bites the prey with its sharp fangs, also known as the chelicerae, and then injects it with a paralyzing venom. Once the prey is immobilized, the tarantula secretes digestive enzymes that liquefy the prey. The fangs are also used to chew or break down the prey item, along with sharp, jagged plates that are located near the fangs that can also aid in cutting or crushing food."

That said, few other noxious dream symbols have a positive meaning in the precognitive sense, let alone help you live a richer, fuller life. At the very least, if you are having financial issue, relationship issues, or can't seem to reach any concrete understandings in your life, this dream symbol may just help you find the answers you are looking for. General Dream Meaning: Spider Overall, spiders in a dream represent financial improvement, good news, or other forms of good luck. They can also represent powerful female energies and protection. Unfortunately, if you kill a spider in your dream, it may mean bad luck is on the way. On the other hand, if you see one climbing up a wall, it means that success will soon be yours. If you see a spider spinning a web, it can mean you will work hard, but also receive a significant reward. When it comes to your inner landscape, spiders can represent people or situations that you feel isolated from. In many cases, a spider may refer to a dictatorial mother, or some other powerful figure that has you \"\"trapped\"\" in some sort of difficult situation."

Also consider the popular phrase \"\"bitten by the bug\"\" to imply your strong emotional ties or obsession with some activity, interest, or hobby. Alternatively, the bug may be representative of your sexual thoughts. The various bugs or insects in your dream help clue you in as to what you may be concerning you.

Then leaps forward into the persecution during the second world war followed by the incarceration in a German concentration camp, where the young Joshua is kept from the horror of the Holocaust by the promise that if he plays the game, he will earn a real tank.

"text": "The Meaning of Hair in a Dream January 18, 2009 · Amy Campion Is there somewhere in life you want to let you hair loose? Our feelings towards our hair are very personal and intimate, often running very deep and associated with our sense of identity and how we wish the world to see us. To dream of hair can often be tied to our feelings of confidence or insecurity. If we dream of cutting or colouring our hair, it can be sign that we are breaking away from an identity we have outgrown and trying to create a new one for ourselves, and discarding that which is no longer useful for us. We can understand if this new direction is a positive one by looking at whether our hair is healthy, indicating a “healthy choice,” or alternatively by examining the feelings that arise in the dream. Does changing your hair make you feel liberated and free, excited and confident, nervous or brave, younger or more mature and responsible, maybe more practical or more attractive? We can also look at how we would describe our hair, then use those words to describe ourselves. Is the hair in our dream unruly or easy to manage? Is it wild, or well-groomed? Is it tied up or flowing free?"

"text": "27Nov Bat Dream Interpretation and Meaning By Carrie | Animals | 55 Comments The bat as a symbol has been associated with words like rebirth, intuition, communication, inner depth, initiation, and illusion. For most people, bats have a negative connotation – mostly learned from vampire movies – so a dream of a bat tends to inspire feelings of fear. Native Americans, however, view the bat as an interconnected part of all creation, and the symbols attached to it typically involve intuition and vision. These associations are based on the fact that bats are very sensitive to their surroundings in nature. Native Americans might invoke a bat spirit if they needed special energy, such as the ability to “see” clearly and identify illusions or ambiguity in a matter, going straight for its core truth. Bats symbolize rebirth because they live in cave-like environments and come out in the evening, effectively being “reborn” every night from within Mother Earth. Native Americans considered the bat to be a symbol of communication because bats have strong family ties and are extremely nurturing and social creatures. They are very sensitive to the other members of their group and constantly communicate with them. A dream of a bat suggests issues associated with free will and freedom as well, since bats can fly!The dream bat indicates that you are very aware of the things that surround you in your environment and that you may be overly sensitive to the feelings of other people in your life. It also suggests that you are blessed with psychic perceptions and may have prophetic dreams."

"text": "What Does It Mean When You Dream About Spiders? People often see spiders in dreams, but what does it mean when you dream about spiders? Let's take a look!1. Your Future Spiders are perceived as creators because of the way they weave a web from the body of their own self, and this perfectly created web looks after and feeds them. So there is this subconscious association with spiders representing the web of life or how we weave our own destiny. To have dreams about spiders therefore can suggest that you are paving the foundations for your future, or you are in a productive phase and will be rewarded for your efforts. Dreaming about spiders can also represent time and so if you observe a spider spinning a web in a dream then it can imply that something in your life will take some time to come around.2. Fear People generally have a fear of spiders and so spider dreams can sometimes represent a concern about how your future or something in your life will pan out. If a spider bites you in a dream then it can suggest that you have an emotional wound of some kind, either from your past or in the present. On the other hand, if you get a mosquito bite during your sleep then this can be transformed into a dream like this so keep that in mind too.3."

"text": "A heavy spider mite infestation (Acari) caused the curling, distortion, yellow patches and bronzed patches on the leaves of this tomato plant ( Lycopersicon)Spider mites are very common pests of outdoor plants. The mites suck juices from the plants, causing the plants to look dull and unhealthy. Mites also cause plants to lose vigor so that they may be unable to overcome a severe infestation, resulting in the plant's death. In Missouri, the most common outdoor spider mite is the two-spotted spider mite. The spruce spider mite infects conifers such as spruce, juniper, and arborvitae. They are less than 1/60th inch in size and difficult to see without a magnifying lens. They are not insects but rather a member of the spider family in which all members have eight legs. Symptoms and Diagnosis Spider mites are among the most ubiquitous of pests, attacking a wide variety of field, garden, greenhouse, nursery, and ornamental plants, as well as several weed species. Infestations of two-spotted spider mites result in the bleaching and stippling of leaves. Severe infestations may cause entire leaves to become bronzed, curled, and completely enveloped in sheets of webbing."

Enter keywords in search box below: Spider Mite Damage- Severe leaf injury from tiny holes -Summary: Even a few spider mites can cause considerable damage to the leaves on which they feed. Research has shown that spider mites damage the water proof surface layers of leaves and this leads to most of the injury and productivity loss. Jack De Angelis, Ph DOSU Ext. Entomologist (ret. ) Why so much damage? Some researchers estimate that spider mites (see What are Spider Mites?) account for as much as a 5% loss in total agricultural productivity worldwide . Gardeners also know that these pests can cause severe injury in a very short time. Until fairly recently, however, it was not known exactly how spider mites cause so much damage."

Environmental Over-watering Images: Photo: Gregory Whitney Description: Succulent plants store water in their tissue. That, by definition, is what makes it a succulent plant. Cacti are succulents and use the water they store in their tissue to help them survive long, dry periods. Since cacti as a general rule grow in dry places, they take up water through their roots very quickly and efficiently."

"text": "Hollyhock Growing Guide: Complete Guide On Care and Maintenance Hollyhocks originated in Asia and the area around the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. These stately beauties belong to the Mallow (Malvaceae) family, which includes an unbelievable 1500 different species out of which 27 genera are found throughout North America. Members of this plant family have a distinctive look, so if you think that Hollyhocks remind you of Hibiscus (like I do), you’re not out of your mind. If you do an Internet search to find out where hollyhocks are hardy, you’ll find a consensus between sources, whether it be SF Gate Home Guides , Burpee Seeds, or Better Homes & Gardens, that hollyhocks are generally hardy between USDA hardiness zones 3 and 8. Let me qualify what I mean when I state they’re “generally hardy” in that hardiness range. Zone 3 encompasses an area at the far northern part of the United States. Winters are pretty extreme up there, and it’s hard to predict how cold temperatures will get in different regions of the country. That being said, I advise anyone who wants to plant hollyhocks in a place where winters are severe, to plant them in a location where they will have protection from polar vortexes. I would also cover the ground with a thick layer of mulch. The alternative is to plant them in containers, which is probably a better option if you live in a zone where permafrost is the norm."

Those are just a few well-known examples of the thousands and thousands of types of ‘creepy-crawlies’ that exist all over the world. Officially, minibeasts are called invertebrates which are animals without a backbone, and these are the most numerous type of animal in the world. In Britain alone there are over 25,000 species of invertebrates known. Unlike vertebrates (animals with a backbone) they do not have a skeleton inside. This makes them soft and bendy, and because of this, some of them have hard shells to live in. Some, like insects and spiders, have a thin, strong outside covering called an exoskeleton. This means they have protection for their bodies and they have legs, and often wings, which let them move more quickly and easily than other minibeasts. Grouping Invertebrates Minibeasts come in a huge range of size, shape and colour."

The easy way to recognize the spider from an insect is that spider has 4 pairs of legs and an insect has 3 pairs. An other major difference is that insects have compound eyes whereas the spider has singular eyes with lenses. Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennas. There are also many similarities.

Often sources of skin irritation or those that produce “bite-like” reactions include environmental allergens such as chemicals or irritant fibers. When handling a client with a concern about arthropod bites/itches, an open mind must be kept in regard to the possible identification of a source that may be the cause of the client’s concern. Skin irritation resulting from bites of arthropods varies greatly between individuals, in large part due to individual immune responses. Identification of an insect, mite or spider as the cause of a suspected “bug bite” is usually not possible based on just symptoms alone. Very few arthropods can actually infest human skin (topically or subdermally) and reproduce. Scabies mites are a rare exception. Often clients that will insist otherwise. Acknowledgment: The development of this fact sheet, adapted to Colorado, was largely derived from work that was developed for the University of Kentucky Extension fact sheet by Dr. Michael Potter: https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ent58Everyone has experienced at some time various skin bumps, sores, or persistent itching that have no obvious source.

"text": "Controling Garden Insects Controlling Garden Insects Garden Insects: Numerous insects will be observed visiting or foraging in the garden throughout the growing season. Many of them are simply passing by, while others such as honeybees are attracted to the flowers and utilize the nectar as a food source while causing no harm to the flowers or the plants. But some insects feed on garden plants and can cause a significant amount of damage. Most insects are harmless and are often considered beneficial- either pollinating flowers or consuming other insects. In most instances, the damage to garden plants from insect feeding is minimal and does not require control strategies. In the landscape, there is often a natural balance that keeps most insect populations from rising and crop injury to a minimum. However, if insect feeding is beginning to make certain garden plants look ragged and unsightly, then it may warrant taking steps to control the pests causing the injury. It is not possible to cover every type of insect that may visit your garden in this article, but we think it is important to review several of the pests that are likely to cause injury to the annuals, perennials, and shrubs in your landscape and to provide some practical management strategies you can implement to reduce the amount of injury these pests may cause. Insect Injury The type of feeding damage to garden plants varies widely by the type of insect feeding on the plants. Insects with chewing mouthparts most commonly cause the leaf tissue to be consumed or destroyed."

Types and species of mites that can irritate or paratize humans: Planet Earth is home to more than 48,000 species of mites. A very limited number of them tend to bite or infest humans, live within skin, transmit disease or breed within homes. For a quick look at the mites that can bother people and the level of damage they can do, see the following list. SCABIES MITES: These mites burrow under human skin to complete their life cycle and cause chronic problems that present a challenge to physicians. Unlike other mites that irritate humans, scabies are mostly contracted through skin-to-skin contact; however, indirect transfer from garments or bedclothes can occur. Since scabies can survive up to 36 hours without a human host, direct treatment of bedding is a good idea for victims who share couches or sleeping quarters with others. Mite victims who don’t respond to mainstream chemical treatments may benefit greatly from our indoor cedar oil formulation. Unlike other essential oils sold for beauty or aroma therapy purposes, our product is filtered and purified to the highest degree so that it won’t stain carpets, furniture or bedding.

There are seven different species of spider monkeys that live in Central and South America and in northern parts of Mexico. Spider monkeys live in wet and dense tropical rainforests. Number of spider monkeys is constantly decreasing because of the habitat loss, intense deforestation, hunt (indigenous people eat the meat of spider monkeys) and pet trade. The black-headed spider monkey, wooly spider monkey, and brown spider monkey are listed as critically endangered animals. Interesting Spider monkey Facts: Size of spider monkey depends on the species. On average, spider monkeys reach 13.25 pounds in weight, 2 feet in length and 3-5 feet in height. One of the most prominent features on the spider monkey's body is long, prehensile tail. Tail is used as fifth limb that facilitates movement through the dense vegetation. Spider monkeys are named that way because they hang from the trees by holding different branches with their limbs and long tails, \"\"shaped\"\" like spiders."

The spider monkey generally dos not enter the further southern regions of South America as the terrain becomes mountainous and not to the spider monkey's taste. There are four different types of spider monkey, all of which are fairly large in size and get to around 50cm tall, plus the spider monkey's tail which can often grow longer than the spider monkey's body. The spider monkey is thought to get it's name from the way the spider monkeys can be seen hanging in the trees. The spider monkey can often be seen with all four hands on separate branches, so the spider monkey looks like a spider's web. The spider monkey can also hang from branches by it's strong tail, which gives the spider monkey spider-like attributes. The spider monkey mainly eats fruits and berries and spider monkeys are a thought to play a vital part in spreading the seeds of many plants throughout the South American rainforests. The spider monkey also eats insects and small reptiles for protein and also honey which the spider monkey finds it. Due to the extensive hunting of the spider monkey from both humans and bigger jungle animals such as the jaguar and the crocodile, all four species of spider monkey are now considered to be endangered or critically endangered. The spider monkey is often kept as an exotic pet worldwide and is one of the most popular species of pet monkey due to the spider monkey's looks and the spider monkey's character."

"text": "Feeding Habits Of Spider Monkeys The study of the feeding habits of Spider monkeys reveals then as fruigivorous. This means that the diet of Spider monkeys consists of 90% fruit and seeds. They can live for long time eating only one or two kinds of fruits and nuts. Let us look into the eating habits of Spider monkeys in this article. As mentioned earlier, the main food of spider monkeys is made up of fruits and nuts. They eat the mature soft parts of a wide variety of fruits. The seeds of these fruits are swallowed along with the fruit. They also gorge on young leaves, flowers and aerial roots. Sometimes, bark and decaying wood, as well as honey also make part of the diet of Spider monkeys. However, a very small part of the Spider monkeys food also consists of insects, insect larvae and bird’s eggs."

Here are some important features that distinguish them: Mammals have advanced brains that benefit them in many ways. Hair on their bodies insulates from the cold. Finally, they do not lay eggs, but bear live young (this way, they can stay mobile during pregnancy instead of having to guard eggs). And the production of milk provides an ever available source of food for the offspring. Of around 4800 mammal species worldwide, 200 can be found in Costa Rica. Spotting mammals requires similar attention as spotting birds. Early in the morning is a good time (as nocturnal animals make their way to sleep) and zones around water bear a better chance of being frequented by mammals. As with most animals, try to remain quiet as you walk along: if they won’t hear you, you might hear them!Sloth (esp: perezoso)Of the five sloth species occurring in Costa Rica, there are two main families of sloths: two-toed and three-toed sloths. As is well-known of them, they are very slow movers, that spend most of their lives on trees, where they feed on leaves."

Size Central American spider monkeys are usually about 1 to 2 feet in body length, including their heads, notes the University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web. They generally weigh just slightly over 16 pounds. Coloring These diurnal animals appear in numerous different colors, such as brown, auburn, pale yellowish-beige and black. They typically have black feet and hands. Central American spider monkeys usually possess somewhat lighter undersides -- think yellowish-beige, red, light brown or whitish. Their faces are predominantly black, although their eyes are encircled by white.

I'm doing a report so I would like to know what predators spider monkeys have Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Some of the known predators of spider monkeys are raptors, jaguars, pumas, ocelots, and large snakes. There also is a documented case of an eagle eating a spider monkey. However, humans are the greatest threat to spider monkeys in the wild. As humans expand their borders and push into the rain forests, spider monkeys are forced to retreat further into the forest and lose large living spaces. The deforestation that is taking place due to logging is much more dangerous to spider monkeys than the occasional jaguar getting one.

Photo: Ivan Mlinarik Spider Monkeys Get Their Name From The Spidery Length Of Their Limbs—Including That Long, Prehensile Tail V ery few mammals are as superbly adapted to life in the trees as the spider monkey. Spider monkeys have long arms and legs for swinging around in the upper canopies of rain forests, which is where they spend almost all of their time. In addition, spider monkeys have long prehensile tails, which means they can wrap them around branches to serve as a fifth limb. The spider monkey almost never descends to the forest floor; when it does, it’s arms nearly drag on the ground, making it clumsy and vulnerable to predators. High in its treetop home, however, the spider monkey is acrobatic and graceful. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 9 species of spider monkey, which can be found in rain forests from southern Mexico through Brazil. The IUCN lists 3 spider-monkey species as Critically Endangered; 5 species of spider monkey are listed as Endangered, and 1 species is Vulnerable. The two major threats to spider monkeys are habitat loss and hunting by humans—their large size, up to 10.6 kilos, or 24 pounds, for a mature male—make them attractive as a food resource. Spider monkey habitat loss is mainly caused by timber harvesting in the rain forests, as well as the clearing of forests to make way for agriculture."

It has even become popular to throw spinach into your green smoothie, to juice it, and to include it as a part of a balanced meal. I’m sure most people grew up with parents who were insistent that they finish the spinach on their plates. This is not surprising because spinach is a popular food with high amounts of iron and other nutrients. In fact, regular consumption of greens (be it spinach, chard, or kale) is almost universally advised to people who want to have overall health or who want to detox. For the most part, this is good advice when done in moderation, especially for people who suffer from kidney stones or gallbladder problems. Yet, the practice of drinking raw spinach and other leafy green vegetables in smoothies has become a huge trend in the health food sphere lately. But we should proceed with caution when including spinach, because consuming too much of this leafy green may actually be detrimental to our overall health."

Unfamiliar to many North Americans, we wonder what is tree spinach and what are the benefits of the chaya plant? What is Tree Spinach? Chaya spinach is a leafy green vegetable in the genus Cnidoscolus consisting of over 40 species, of which only chayamansa refers to chaya spinach tree. A member of the Euphorbiaceae family, growing spinach tree provides nutritious leaves and shoots for years and is prized as a necessary and important food through the Pacific Rim and along the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, where is grows naturally in thickets and the open forest. Growing tree spinach is commonly cultivated in Mexico and Central America and frequently seen planted in home gardens. Chaya spinach tree is actually a big leafy shrub that reaches a height of from 6-8 feet and resembles a cassava plant or healthy hibiscus, with 6- to 8-inch cupped leaves borne on slender stems. Growing tree spinach shrubs bloom often with both male and female flowers that are tiny and white resulting in 1-inch seed pods. The stem exudes white latex and the young stems have stinging hairs, particularly on wild growing tree spinach."

Can you tell me what these are, and if they are really good for me, and if so, where can I get them? Do I need to buy them in a pill? ANSWER: Great questions! Let’s define probiotic. As you may know, probiotics are beneficial bacteria, and can be found in foods with live bacterial cultures such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and kefir. They are also available in supplement form. Prebiotics are foods for the probiotics to feed upon. When the bacteria are fed what they need, they can thrive and provide us with health benefits. Fortunately, what the good bacteria like also happens to be good for us!"

"text": "The following foods highest in iron will play a key role in your healthy lifestyle. Getting your daily requirement of iron is important, as iron is involved in so many of the body’s basic functions. These include helping to carry oxygen throughout the body, helping your muscles and brain work at their full capacity, and preventing the onset of anemia.1. Liver: 23mg Iron (128% DV)Pick a liver, any liver, and chances are you’re getting as much iron as you’ll need for the day. Perhaps the most easily found liver in supermarkets is beef liver. It’s always a good idea to buy organic if you can find it, and go to a butcher if your local grocery store doesn’t carry organic beef liver. Liver may not currently be on your regular menu, but you don’t have to eat very much of it in order to benefit from its iron content. 100 grams provides more than a day’s worth of iron, so you could eat much less than that in one sitting, while combining it with other foods that also have iron in them. Liver is not only ultra-high in iron, it is a good source of other minerals as well, such as zinc, phosphorous, and even copper. Tips for eating more: While eating liver may sound off putting at first, it is a meat like any other and can be added to chili and soups for the same flavor you’d expect from beef or other cuts of meat."

Instead of going to the store and solely buying commercial dog food try incorporating some of these everyday healthy vegetables into your dog's diet. Commercial dog food is not all bad, however it is a good idea to vary your dog's diet to provide them with nutrients for a healthier lifestyle. Ideally your dog's diet should consist of no more than 25% vegetable matter. You should talk to your veterinarian to see what that means for your dog. A dog's diet will vary depending on many factors of their lifestyle. Breed, size, and activity level are just a few of the factors that will affect how much vegetable matter your dog should consume. Dogs do not need vegetables, but they can and do provide nutrients as well as offer a low-calorie addition to their diet. Green leafy vegetables are the best, however many other vegetables carry a variety of health benefits for your dog as well. When preparing vegetables for your dog make sure to prep and cook them separately from your family meals."

Try 10 Super Ways to Use Spinach I love to write about the vegetables everyone hates. I’ve been getting my latest favorite, spinach, nearly every week. Spinach has a reputation for being very healthy, and contains large amounts of iron and calcium. Unfortunately, spinach also contains oxalate, which prevents you from absorbing much of those minerals. The good news is that spinach also contains plenty of folate, also known as folic acid or Vitamin B9. Lack of folate during pregnancy is associated with risk of the baby developing spina bifida. Like all green vegetables, spinach tastes best when you eat it as soon as you get it home from the store or market. Once it starts to decay, it loses flavor quickly, so I cook it and store it in the refrigerator to add to various recipes. Cooking it also removes some of the bitterness."

"text": "Simple Tip: How to Keep Lettuce Fresh Longerposted by Andrea | 07/11/2011I had big garden at our old house and I grew TONS of lettuce and spinach. It was so delicious and we loved having a wide selection of fresh lettuce all spring, summer, and fall. However, we had so much lettuce that it often started to go bad before we could eat it all. So I did a bunch of experimenting and after 2 summers, I figured out an extremely simple and effective way to keep our lettuce fresh longer. We didn’t have time to put in a huge garden this year, but I’m still using the same technique to keep our store-bought lettuce fresh long after the sell-by date. The trick for me is to separate the lettuce with multiple sheets of paper towel. This prevents excess moisture from making the lettuce soggy and wilted. There is NO right or wrong way to this — simply rip or cut a few sections of paper towel {or you can use clean, thin cloths} and layer them in between the lettuce. I change out the paper towel every few days, or whenever it gets pretty damp. Also, don’t pack the lettuce in too tightly."

And to remain in congruity with the law of information balance, i.e. two sides to every coin, there are those who pour cold water on the health benefits of eating raw spinach...so we have a considerable degree of conflicting opinions. What fun!This post is dedicated to the memory of the cartoon sailor that popularized the spinach diet--“Popeye the Sailor\"\" who conducted a great deal of applied research on the merits of eating spinach! Although Popeye’s power boosting spinach owes its fame to a clerical error that misstated the actual iron content of spinach by ten-fold back in 1870, it does sport many healthy attributes—so carry on Popeye.

Pros and Cons of a Daily Spinach Diet Update: the Bad News and the Good News Spinach History Snapshot In this review, I summarize a few key points about the plusses and possible minuses of a diet rich in spinach and provide a catalog of relevant sources. In spite of the current tensions with Iran, we owe Iranians a hearty thanks. Spinach, a relative of chard, originated in Persia and by the year 687 AD had been introduced into China...and eventually to the British Isles where... Spinach was the favorite vegetable of Catherine de Medici, a historical figure in the 16th century. When she left her home of Florence, Italy, to marry the king of France, she brought along her own cooks, who could prepare spinach the ways that she especially liked. Since this time, dishes prepared on a bed of spinach are referred to as \"\"a la Florentine.\"\" Source Although I (like most) may only be very, very remotely related to Queen de Medici, I do share her fondness for spinach."

You’ve got to take in the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals to keep all the systems in your body functioning properly, and to keep your bones and muscles strong and healthy. In our weight-focused culture, it’s easy to get so focused on the fat and calories in the food we eat that we fail to consider how a particular meal will affect the entire body. Do you know what nutrients were in your last meal? How will that meal help keep your body’s structure strong? Build strong bones As we age, our bones become more brittle and muscles become weaker, but a nutritious diet now can help preserve bone and muscle strength. For strong bones, your body needs two key nutrients: calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is the mineral that strengthens bones and teeth, and vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium while improving bone growth. Adults should get 1,000 milligrams of calcium and 200 international units (IUs) of vitamin D a day. If you’re over 50, make that 1,200mg of calcium and 400 to 600 IUs of vitamin D daily. While both calcium and vitamin D can be taken in supplements, it’s best to get them through a natural diet."

"text": "Taken within the context of modern food culture, Paleo can easily start to seem like an endless list of limitations: no grains, no legumes, no seed oils, no processed foods… Paleo appears to be a series of restrictions or deviations from the “normal” diet that everyone would presumably eat otherwise. But Paleo only appears restrictive in the context of a warped food system that floods our diet with toxins because it privileges industrial profits over human health. Despite this less than ideal context, defining “health” as simply avoiding these toxins is short-sighted and ultimately misleading. The absence of toxins is a prerequisite for health, but the normal functions of the human body also require the presence of nutrients. Paleo, in other words, can also be defined by what we do eat: enough energy and nutrients to support vibrant physical and mental health. With this different attitude toward food comes a focus on maintaining a well-balanced nutritional framework, rather than simply avoiding junk. This framework consists of two types of nutrients: macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates), which supply energy in the form of calories, and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), which support the various biochemical processes in your body. An ideal diet should provide enough micro- and macronutrients to keep your body healthy and strong. Keeping track of macronutrients is fairly simple – there are only three, and most people have a rough idea of what kinds of foods supply which ones. But tracking every single micronutrient in your diet to make sure you meet your RDA would be impossibly tedious."

Low in calories but high in vitamins, minerals and fiber, it is a versatile addition to a healthy diet. In rare cases, consuming excessive amounts of spinach can lead to kidney stones, issues with iron absorption and gastrointestinal difficulties. Maintaining a balanced, varied diet will help you avoid these problems. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Nutrition in Spinach A cup of cooked and drained spinach offers 41 calories and 4.3 g of fiber. Its high mineral content includes 245 mg of calcium, 6.43 mg of iron, 157 mg of magnesium, 101 mg of phosphorous and 839 mg of potassium. It also contains 17.6 mg of vitamins C, 263 mcg of folate, 11,319 mcg of beta-carotene, 35.5 mg of choline, 20,354 mcg of lutein and zeaxanthin and 18,866 IU of vitamin A. Kidney Stones Spinach contains a naturally occurring substance called oxalate. In rare cases, eating extreme amounts of oxalate-rich foods like spinach, nuts, pepper and rhubarb can lead to a condition called hyperoxaluria, in which oxalate crystals combine with calcium in the kidney and form kidney stones. Kidney stones can cause sharp pain in the lower back, genitals or inner thigh, urinary problems, nausea and abdominal bloating. If you notice these symptoms, see your doctor."

"text": "What is a spine specialist? Overview Types Where Pain is Felt Minimally Invasive Cervical Spine Surgery Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery Treatments Spinal Surgery Spinal Nerve Compression Most patients experiencing the symptoms of a spine condition start with their primary care physician to obtain an initial diagnosis and a referral to a more specialized health care professional. In the most general terms, a spine specialist is a physician who focuses on the pathology of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, joints and neural structures of the spinal column and the spinal cord. The specific type of spine specialist you see will depend on the type of spine condition you are diagnosed with or are suspected of having. Some conditions, such as a spinal tumor, may require the expertise of a neurosurgeon or neurologist and/or an oncologist. What Type of Spine Specialist Do I Need? Below are some of the different types of spine specialists and examples of the conditions they treat: Orthopedist — This type of physician treats conditions involving the musculoskeletal system; orthopedists generally treat spinal joint problems, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis and other types of degenerative conditions or injuries. Neurologist — A neurologist specializes in problems involving the nervous system, so this may be the right choice for you if your spinal cord is damaged or if spinal nerve roots are being compressed by a spinal tumor or other anatomic abnormality. Rheumatologist — This type of specialist will treat issues involving pain, swelling and inflammation; osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are common conditions that rheumatologists handle. Neurosurgeon — Neurosurgeons generally focus on the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord; elective surgery should only be considered for severe spine conditions that have not responded to conservative (nonsurgical) treatments."

"text": "Home » Spine Articles » Specialist Articles » Types of Pinched Nerve Specialists What kinds of specialists treat a pinched nerve? You might need to research pinched nerve specialists if you are dealing with painful nerve compression in your neck or back. A pinched nerve can occur as a result of muscle strains, inflamed tendons and ligaments, bone spurs, bulging discs or other spinal conditions. Symptoms can include shooting pains at the site of compression and possible radiating pain, spasms, tingling, cramping, numbness and weakness in the shoulders, arms, buttocks or legs, depending on the location of the pinched nerve. Types of doctors who specialize in pinched nerve treatment In addition to doing your own research regarding the type of specialist to see for your particular situation, your primary care physician might recommend that you see any of the following for more involved diagnosis and treatment: A neurologist — specializes in disorders and conditions of the nervous system An orthopedist — deals with the musculoskeletal system and related problems A chiropractor — uses spinal manipulation to address neck and back pain Whether you go with your doctor’s recommendation or you find a specialist on your own, it is important to check his or her qualifications, certifications and experience. A specialist might initially suggest a course of conservative methods to treat a pinched nerve. These types of treatments are nonsurgical and include physical therapy, pain medications, hot/cold therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), spinal manipulation and more. In a high number of cases, following the recommended conservative treatments over a course of several weeks or months can provide lasting relief. The spine specialists at Laser Spine Institute When conservative treatments do not help pinched nerve symptoms, your specialist might recommend surgery as the next treatment option. As you explore treatments, you should contact our caring team to learn more about the minimally invasive spine surgery provided by Laser Spine Institute."

"text": "A neurosurgeon is a highly trained medical professional who specializes in surgery on the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system. The work that this person does is usually regarded as some of the most complex within the medical field, in part because of how specialized and intricate these parts of the body are. In addition to actually performing surgeries, neurosurgeons are also frequently called to consult with other specialists when it comes to certain tumors, conditions, or illnesses, and they may also be found conducting complex research studies to advance knowledge in the field. Basic Job Description Conducting surgeries is one of the most glamorous parts of the job, but in most cases, the bulk of the this professional’s day-to-day activity happens outside of the operating room. Opening patients up is the culmination of a lot of other work, including research, in-depth exams, and intense preparation. Most professionals in this field spend the majority of their time studying files and medical charts and consulting with patients and their families. Ad Work With the Brain Neurosurgeons are usually best known for their expertise when it comes to the brain. They treat tumors, tissue damage, and neurological injuries caused by blood clots, strokes, and accidents. In many cases, patients and general physicians aren’t sure whether there is a brain problem when the patient is first referred to a neurological expert, or if they are, they aren’t sure of the specifics. A patient may be having persistent headaches, for instance, or may be developing speech problems; trouble with memory or motor skills are sometimes also signs that something is wrong."

Much of what chiropractors do is nonsense, and they often misinform their patients. Do you need to see a chiropractor? Many people think they do. Just about everyone thinks of a chiropractor when back pain is mentioned. There is considerable evidence that spinal manipulation can help relieve some types of neck and back pain. But neck manipulation can be dangerous. And according to a study published in the October 8, 1998, New England Journal of Medicine, spinal manipulation may be no more effective than physical therapy in the treatment of back pain and only marginally more effective than following a self-help instruction booklet."

Pathologists are concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the gross and microscopic examination of cells and tissue. Anesthesiology: Anesthesiology is the practice of medicine dedicated to the relief of pain and total care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery. After completing four years of medical school, anesthesiologists (MD or DO) enter a four-year anesthesiology residency training program. Fellowships in an anesthesia subspecialty and in education or research may also be taken for an additional year. While anesthesiologists have been known primarily as physicians who administer anesthesia during surgery, they also provide medical care and consultations in other situations in addition to the operating room. The anesthesiologist’s role may be a perioperative (\"\"peri\"\" meaning \"\"all-around\"\") who provides medical care to each patient throughout his or her surgical experience. This may include medical evaluation before surgery, consulting with the surgical team, providing pain control and support of life functions during surgery, and supervising care after surgery and medically discharging the patient from the recovery unit. Anesthesiologists, as part of the spine team, frequently diagnose and treat patients suffering from acute and chronic pain syndromes. Some anesthesiologists complete pain fellowships and concentrate their practice on doing injections (such as epidural steroid injections)."

An inflammatory disease, symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) include pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. The disease involves erosion of bone and increased bone formation in the spine, leading to bone fusion. In advanced cases, this can lead to spinal deformity. AS most commonly occurs in men in their teens and 20s, but it can affect anyone of any age. It tends to be milder when it does occur in women, making it harder to diagnose. Drug treatments and physical therapy can help relieve symptoms. Fast facts on ankylosing spondylitis (AS): Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis. It mostly affects the lower part of the spine, and where it joins to the hips, known as the sacroiliac joints. Ankylosing spondylitis can be difficult to diagnose but has a particular pattern of pain symptoms, and changes can be seen on X-ray and MRI."

The symptoms may vary from mild and episodic to aggressive and painfully chronic. Spondylosis affects the spine's joints; the facet joints in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid back), and/or lumbar (low back) spine. Fortunately, most people with spinal osteoarthritis do not need surgery. Many of the common nonoperative treatments are featured below. Patients with chronic back pain are urged to seek the advice of a spine specialist. Acupuncture is a popular treatment used to help alleviate back and neck pain. Tiny needles, about the size of a human hair, are inserted into specific points on the body. Each needle may be twirled, electrically stimulated, or warmed to enhance the effect of the treatment. It is believed that acupuncture works (in part) by prompting the body to produce chemicals that help to reduce pain."

If the spine has a sideways curve, it is called a scoliosis. The curve can bend to the left or to the right. The severity of the curve can vary from very mild and barely noticeable to severe. The curve can be in the lower part of the spine (a lumbar curve), in the upper part of the spine (a thoracic curve) or go from the upper to lower part of the spine (a thoracolumbar curve). In some cases there is a double curve - like an S shape. What is the difference between scoliosis and kyphosis? If you look at someone from the side, normally there are three slight front-to-back curves in the spine - one in the neck, one in the chest section and one in the lower back."

The best part about these treatments is that they can cure sciatica – not just cover up the pain.1. Home Exercise Program Exercise programs are an important component of any sciatica treatment plan. By stretching and strengthening parts of your body that may be causing irritation of the sciatic nerve, you can reduce pain and speed up recovery. The most effective exercises depend on the underlying reason you are suffering from sciatica. Sciatica caused by a herniated disc, for example, is not treated with the same exercises as sciatica caused by spinal stenosis. To find out the best exercises for any cause of sciatica,It’s also important to keep your body relaxed to allow it to heal. A great way to do this, without aggravating your condition, is brisk walking. Other light activities can have a similar effect, but if something hurts then stop immediately. Bonus tip: It’s essential that you don’t become completely bed bound due to pain."

Since hiccupping is so quick and involves quite a bit of force in a very small little area, it would be possible for a little air to be drawn in from your throat."

For the most part they are microscopic and get around with the movement of the ocean currents. They are also typically found at or near the surface of the water. There are several major classifications of plankton. Phytoplankton Phytoplankton are the photosynthetic plankton or the producers. Notice I did not say the plants, because although it is easy to think of them as plants, they are not plants as defined by biologists. Included in the phytoplankton are some members of the Kingdom Monera (remember that in biology organisms are classified in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species). These are the most primitive and simplest single-celled organisms on earth and include bacteria and blue-green algae. These are especially important as decomposers."

When summer hits, it can be hard to walk outside without being swarmed by mosquitoes. No one wants to wear long clothes in the heat just to prevent mosquito bites, but the bugs can be relentless. It’s not all mosquitoes that feed on blood, though: male mosquitoes only drink nectar, whereas female mosquitoes nourish their developing eggs with protein-rich blood. To that end, the female mosquitoes prefer to bite ankles and wrists, where blood vessels are nearer to the skin’s surface. Did you know: A higher body temperature and more sweat make you more likely to be bitten. Mosquitoes spit an anticoagulant under our skin when they bite us, leaving us with whatever disease they’re carrying (encephalitis, malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever). If you have any complications with bug bites (besides itching), check for symptoms of these other diseases. Why Do Mosquito Bites Itch? When a mosquito bites you, it injects a small amount of saliva into the wound to stop your blood from clotting."

Giant Weta New Zealand's giant weta gets its name from the Maori word for \"\"god of bad looks\"\" -- and it's not hard to see why. The giant weta could hardly be called pretty but it has a fascinating history: Scientists believe this species shared its land with dinosaurs, and had no local predators until European settlers introduced rats to the island. Though there are more than 70 weta species on the island, 16 of them are endangered or threatened, and the country's Department of Conservation is hard at work trying to save them. The giant weta is one of the world's heaviest insects: They can grow as long as three inches and weigh up to 1.5 ounces -- check out the tomato in the background for a size comparison. Wikipedia Commons Bach/Corbis Photo Objects Stag Beetle The three-inch-long male stag beetle may be most easily recognized by its spiky front antlers -- also known as mandibles -- which are a key part of courtship rituals and wrestling matches; you'd have more to fear from the slightly smaller females, though, which don't have the giant spikes but do have a more fearsome bite. The beetles thrive on dead wood, but its numbers appear to be dwindling: Researchers point to the long maturation time -- 4 years from larvae to adult -- and \"\"the over-zealous tidying of dead timber and stumps,\"\" according to ARKive. Wikipedia Commons Bach/Corbis Photo Objects Goliath Beetle It's hard to get a real sense of how massive the Goliath beetle is from this picture, although the smaller bugs around it can help with the scale. These beetles are just one member of the 30,000-strong scarab family, which has roamed the Earth for 300 million years, and reportedly holds the record for world's heaviest insect: One topped out at 4.5 inches long and 3.5 ounces."

However, sometimes health imbalances can also make the nails brittle and cause them to split. Tagged Under: Brittle Nails Advertisement Fingernails are made up of a structural protein called keratin. Since keratin is porous, it makes the nails vulnerable to wear and tear, trauma, and dehydration. The splitting of nails is also known as onychoschizia. There can be several factors as well as certain health conditions that can replicate this condition and therefore, must not be neglected as a mere cosmetic problem. The human nail is structurally a lot more complex than it seems and consists of various parts, each having a role to play. The structure of the nail consists of the nail plate, nail groove, lunula, and the eponychium. While the nail plate is the translucent and hard portion made of keratin layer, the nail groove directs the growth and is located along the sides of the nail fold."

Did you know, though, that your everyday routine might lead to cracking and splitting because of nail dystrophy? It is not uncommon. In fact, nail dystrophy—also called onychodystrophy—is a frustrating problem for 20% of people living in America today. As fingernails and toenails are exposed to fungi that grow on our skin, called dermatophytes, the risk of brittle or cracked nails increases significantly. If you have hard, brittle, splitting, cracking and/or discolored nails, then you may be experiencing the effects of nail dystrophy. Nuvail™ (poly-ureaurethane, 16%) nail solution is a patented polymer that addresses the signs and symptoms of nail dystrophy, and has been featured in Oprah’s O Magazine. As a once-a-day, water resistant treatment, Nuvail is an ideal solution for nail dystrophy that keeps your nails strong with a protective layer that alleviates fingernails and toenails from the risk of becoming brittle or cracked. There are three types of nail dystrophy: Brittle Nail Syndrome, Psoriatic Nails and Mycotic Nails. Brittle Nail Syndrome is the most common form of nail dystrophy, and is twice as likely to affect women."

Some health conditions can result in peeling of both fingernails and toenails, but if only your fingernails are affected, the cause is likely to be external. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Moisture Most cases of splitting nails are caused by moisture, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology. Repeatedly wetting and drying your hands, and, by extension, your fingernails, can cause the nails to dry out. Too much moisture can also weaken the nails, softening them and causing them to peel. Fingernails can be protected from moisture by wearing gloves for activities in which the hands are immersed in water, such as washing dishes. The AOCD recommends applying a lotion containing lanolin to relieve dry and brittle nails. Trauma Injuries to the nail can cause them to split and peel. Nail biting leaves fingernails ragged and prone to additional damage. Using your fingernails as tools for scraping and prying will also cause nail injuries, and nails can break and split during normal everyday activities."

Normal, healthy nails should appear smooth and have consistent coloring, but as you age, you may develop vertical ridges, or your nails may be a bit more brittle. This is harmless and nothing to worry about. If you notice spots due to injury on your nails, this should grow out with the nail and not turn into a big deal. Abnormalities that occur on the nails may warrant a closer look. These oddities such as spots, discoloration, and nail separation can be the telltale sign of viral warts, infections, and some medications, such as those used for chemotherapy. White Nails If the nails are mostly white with darker rims, this can indicate liver problems, such as hepatitis. In the image below, you can see the fingers also appear yellowish in color meaning they are jaundiced, which is another sign of liver trouble. Very pale nails can sometimes be a sign of other serious illnesses, such as: Anemia Congestive heart failure Liver disease Malnutrition White Dots If small white dots that appear on the surface of the nail that won't budge when you try to buff them off, this is usually due to some type of trauma—even something as simple as a banged finger or a too-aggressive cuticle trim. In this case, give them some time to grow out and fade, but if they don't go away, see your dermatologist, as it could be the signs of other health issues such as Leukonychia."

Nails also protect your fingertips as well as enhance your ability to pick up items. Nails are made from keratin, a protein that’s also found in your hair. Nails have multiple tough layers that can peel. This can cause them to appear thin or become weakened, causing them to split. The medical term for peeling or splitting fingernails is onychoschizia. Peeling nails can be the result of outside or external trauma to the nail. More rarely, they can indicate a systemic condition, or a sign that a pathologic process is occurring inside your body.

Nails grow at a set rate, and food can't make them grow more quickly. Certain foods can, however, strengthen your nails to prevent breakage, which will allow you to grow -- and keep -- longer nails more easily than if your nails were weaker. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key High-Protein Foods Your nails are made up primarily of protein -- specifically, a tough structural protein called keratin -- so you need adequate protein from your diet to support healthy new nail growth. Low protein levels can affect your nails, causing abnormal lines across your nails, while getting enough protein strengthens them. Your protein needs vary depending on your weight and activity, but the average person needs 0.4 gram per pound of body weight daily. Meet your protein needs healthfully with lean meats like skinless chicken breast and fatty fish like salmon, as well as nuts, beans, eggs and low-fat dairy. Biotin-Rich Foods Your body may use biotin to fight nail brittleness -- which ups your risk of breaks that prevent your nails from growing long. Biotin increases nail thickness and hardness, so nails are less prone to splitting, reports the Life Extension Foundation. Snack on nuts -- especially pecans, almonds and walnuts -- and add whole eggs to your diet to boost your biotin intake."

Brittleness of the nails, meaning that the nails easily become cracked, chipped, split, or peeled, can be observed as a sign of aging or in response to the long-term use of nail polish or exposure to moist conditions (including frequent swimming or dishwashing). Some diseases are also associated with changes in the nails, which can include brittleness. Thin and brittle nails can be a sign of hypothyroidism, for example. The term onychoschizia refers to splitting of the fingernails as well as brittle or soft nails. Taking biotin (a vitamin) supplements can help in some cases of brittle nails, and application of moisturizers after soaking in water can also be of benefit. REFERENCE: Kasper, D. L., et al., eds.

A: Quick Answer According to Dr. Standley, flat nails may indicate Raynaud's disease, a condition that most commonly affects women ages 18 through 30. Other changes in nail shape and appearance, such as spooning, pitting, thickening or thinning of the nail plate, white lines under the nail, ridges, yellow or bluish hue and wide nails, may also indicate a new or worsening health condition and require evaluation by a health professional.

The affected areas usually include fingers, toes, nose and ears, but this disease may affect other areas as well, such as the nipples and lips. The condition occurs when small arteries become narrow thus limiting the amount of blood supplied to certain areas. This disease is more common in people who live in cooler climates."

The old cells then grow out toward the fingertips. But as Mother Nature.com says, most people do not have the perfect fingernails that we see in magazines. In fact, many people have weak, easily torn fingernails caused by the daily rigors of life. Some people are simply born with weak fingernails.

"text": "Splitting & Peeling Nails from a Vitamin Deficiencyby KATHRYN MEININGER July 18, 2017Most cases of brittle, splitting and peeling nails aren't due to a vitamin deficiency. Onychoschizia, the medical term for splitting nails, affects more women than men and typically results from excessive exposure to water or harsh, drying chemicals, such as nail polish remover and dish detergents. However, some vitamin deficiencies can affect your nails, causing them to become brittle and more likely to split and peel. If you have splitting and peeling nails that aren't due to environmental causes, consult your physician for the correct diagnosis before treating them with a vitamin supplement. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Iron Deficiency You need iron to manufacture hemoglobin and myoglobin, the proteins responsible for transporting oxygen to your tissues and muscles, as well as for proper growth and development and functioning of your immune system. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and is caused by an inadequate amount of iron in your diet, poor iron absorption from your digestive tract or excessive bleeding, including heavy menstrual periods. Along with fatigue, decreased body temperature and an inflamed tongue, an iron deficiency also causes brittle, splitting nails. Iron-containing foods include chicken liver, red meat, dark turkey meat, soybeans and fortified cereals. Deficiency of Zinc Severe zinc deficiency is very rare in developed countries, and most cases are due to an inherited condition, acrodermatitis enteropathica, caused by an inability to absorb zinc properly. Zinc is critical to normal growth and development and is needed for production of about 100 different enzymes."

"text": "Brittle Splitting Nails – Causes, Treatment and Prevention Brittle splitting nails is a common condition marked by thin or weak fingernails or toenails that are prone to splitting, chipping, pealing and breaking. This condition is also known as onychoschizia and it can occur if nails are either dry and brittle from too little moisture or soft and brittle from too much moisture. More than 20 percent of the population has brittle nails. Brittle splitting nails most commonly affect women. The condition is also more common in older adults. This is due to the fact that nails grow more slowly as people age. The nails of older people have also undergone more exposure to sun and other conditions that cause brittle splitting nails. Causes of Brittle Splitting Nails Nails, just like hair, consist of layers of a protein called keratin. As new cells grow, older cells harden and are pushed up toward the end of the fingertip. Nails also are permeable and let in water or other liquids that come into contact with them."

You are thinking back and wondering what did you change in your daily routine and if you used any harsh chemicals without gloves or if you increased your pool time recently? “ Nope, neither of these”, you are thinking. So what could possibly happen to you a few months ago? The answer may lay in your diet. Nutritional deficiencies affect our internal and external health, including hair and nails.

In 1890, Charles Knox and his wife, Rose, developed granulated gelatine with an eye toward changing how American women cooked.

Knox Gelatin was derived from the hooves and hides of animals such as cows and pigs. The Knox couple insinuated that by consuming Knox products, women would have nails as strong as a cow's hoof. In the late 1950s, Charles Knox's grandson, John, focused on expanding the Knox line to more health-oriented consumer goods, including a special drink for nails.

The most common types of injuries treated by this type of doctor include sprains, strains, broken bones, knee injuries, and low back injuries. From exercising to fitness training and playing contact sports, there are many ways to suffer an injury that may need treatment from this kind of doctor. Often, a great deal of the physician's time will be dedicated to treating athletes suffering from a variety of physical injuries. This doctor is trained in treating anyone with a sports-related injury, however, as well as in advising him or her on ways to prevent these types of injuries from occurring. In most cases, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine will do a range of activities on a daily basis. Some of their most common patients are athletes, since sport injuries are very common and most athletic activities involve very forceful play. Once an athlete has been injured, he or she may consult with a specialist for an evaluation of his or her injury. After completing an evaluation, the doctor may need to refer the patient to another doctor; for instance, a surgeon may be recommended in the event of severe injuries such as ACL tears. Often, a sports medicine physician will treat an individual who is not an athlete, but who has become injured while participating in some sports-related activity."

"text": "Virtual Mentor. July 2014, Volume 16, Number 7: 547-551. State of the Art and Science|Drug Testing in Sport: h GH (Human Growth Hormone)Gary A. Green, MDWhile it may be tempting to consider the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in sports as a modern phenomenon, the taking of substances to beat the competition has been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years. There is evidence that the Ancient Greeks and Romans gave their athletes special potions to improve their performance [1], and this trend continues to the present day, albeit with more sophisticated methods. One of the unfortunate realities associated with this drive to gain an advantage is that physicians have frequently been complicit, if not essential, in working with athletes to violate both the rules of sport and medical regulations. Despite the advice of Sir William Osler that the role of the physician is “to educate the masses not to take medicine” [2] too often physicians have been athletes’ source of PEDs. The sophisticated doping programs of the former East German Democratic Republic and the Tour de France would not have been possible without physician assistance [3]. Surveys of National Collegiate Athletic Association athletes report that physicians are among their leading sources for obtaining anabolic steroids [4]. The reasons for this are myriad and include wanting to be associated with sports, monetary gain, naïveté, ignorance, greed, and desire to help the athlete, among others. In addition to sports, PED use has now spread beyond competitive athletes into the general population [5]. Throughout the centuries, athletes have used many different PEDs with varying amounts of success. One of the more recent drugs to gain popularity among both athletes and nonathletes is human growth hormone, h GH. Before 1985, patients with growth-hormone deficiency had to rely on cadaver pituitary extract for their treatment."

He or she is equally educated, with four years of undergraduate training, four years of medical schools, and additional years if he or she chooses to specialize. The DO has a slightly different approach to treating the patient than the MD, however. This medical professional is trained to evaluate the person in a holistic way. The goal of the DO is not simply to treat problems as they arise, but to prevent problems by evaluating the total health and health risks of the patient. This evaluation may include not only looking at quantifiable risk factors for disease but also evaluating the person in terms of his or her home life, work life, and stress level. In addition, disease is evaluated in terms of how it affects the entire body, not simply a few parts of it. The DO is trained specifically in understanding the muscular and skeletal system and how they may relate to disease or pain management. Sometimes, he or she will practice manipulation of the spine, similar to the work done by chiropractors, in addition to other more traditional medical treatments.

An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Manual medicine means that both diagnosis and treatment are carried out with the hands. Osteopathy is a complementary therapy. It is used alongside conventional treatment to improve health.

Patients are given a set of exercises to start immediately in the recovery room. Will I need to be on crutches after surgery? Yes, but only initially and only for comfort.

Successful rehabilitation is different for everyone, but here are some common questions and their answers. When does rehabilitation start after an ACL reconstruction? On the day of surgery. Patients are given a set of exercises to start immediately in the recovery room. Will I need to be on crutches after surgery? Yes, but only initially and only for comfort. Full weight bearing is gradually increased as tolerated by the patient. It typically takes seven to 10 days after the procedure, until the patient is comfortable without the assistance of a crutch. An exception to this rule is if the patient also underwent a meniscal repair or other reconstruction of an additional ligament."

Related Editorial This article provides answers to many of the questions medical students ask about the specialty of family practice. It is the fourth update of a previous article and was developed in response to feedback from medical students at the 1997 National Congress of Student Members held by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Students at the 1998 Congress also identified areas of interest and concern. This article discusses the hours and income of the family physician, the scope of medical practice in the specialty, required continuing medical education and board certification, family practice residency training and combined-specialty training. Medical students frequently have questions about the specialty of family practice and what a family physician does. As defined by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the family physician is one who has been educated and trained to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care, health maintenance and preventive services to all members of the family regardless of sex, age and type of problem (i.e., biologic, behavioral or social)."

Beyond the personal and professional satisfaction of a career treating patients in both hospitals and clinics, sports medicine doctors also enjoy the opportunity of working for professional or college sports teams. In addition to enjoying the games from the sidelines, many of these physicians are even able to travel with the teams between venues. Not many careers boast such a varied professional landscape, but this variety is just one of the many appealing aspects of becoming a sports medicine physician. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »Sports medicine doctors are medical professionals who focus on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries related to athletic activities. These physicians generally focus on joint, bone and muscle health, although they also offer more generalized medical care to their patients. Sports medicine prepares these physicians for work in both traditional hospital and clinic settings, in addition to sporting events at both the professional and college levels. No matter where they choose to work, sports medicine doctors enjoy the deep gratification of helping active, often health-conscious people recover from sports-related injuries and return to the lifestyles that they love. Workplace Details The field of sports medicine is relatively new, and continues to evolve. As with all physicians, sports medicine physicians can be found in varied clinical settings, from hospital-based practice to private outpatient clinics."

"text": "Sports | SPORTS MEDICINESPORTS MEDICINE; Sports Turnaround: The Team Doctors Now Pay the Team By BILL PENNINGTON MAY 18, 2004Once, professional sports teams paid the best physicians they could find to treat their players, but that practice could soon be as old-fashioned as the house call. These days, groups of doctors or hospitals are paying the teams. In an upside-down scenario spawned by an increasingly competitive health-care market, hospitals and medical practices -- eager for any promotional advantage -- have begun bidding to pay pro teams as much as $1.5 million annually for the right to treat their high-salaried players. In addition to the revenue, sports franchises get the services of the provider's physicians either without charge or at severely discounted rates. In return, the medical groups and the hospitals are granted the exclusive right to market themselves as the team's official hospital, H. M. O. or orthopedic group. In a nation of aging baby boomers and weekend warriors with aching, tattered joints and ligaments, being designated the place where sports stars are nursed back to playing shape has precious value. '' People believe if a team doctor or an official hospital is good enough for their favorite athletes, then it must be good enough for their favorite athletes, then it must be good enough for them,'' said Dr. William O. Roberts, president of the American College of Sports Medicine. '' But the purchasing power of these groups doesn't necessarily reflect their abilities. '' Despite concerns among many doctors and the players' unions over the ethics of putting health care out to bid, about half the teams in the four major North American professional sports are now tied contractually to a medical institution. Industry analysts expect that number to grow significantly."

Written by Kelly Rehan Email Print Most people have heard of and know about medical doctors (MD). However, fewer may understand what a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine (DO) is or how these physicians practice. Every DO is a licensed physician who practices in most every type of medical specialty, including neurology and orthopaedics. These doctors, like some of their medical counterparts, diagnose and provide safe and effective treatment for spine disorders. A doctor of osteopathic medicine can safely and effectively treat most back or neck problems. A foundational element of osteopathic medicine is the focus on the whole patient. Instead of treating a symptom or specific condition, DOs examine how everything in your life—from your environment to your lifestyle habits—affect your health. It’s this holistic approach that makes a doctor of osteopathic medicine well suited to treat and help prevent back and neck pain."

"text": "How Sports Can Teach Workplace Leadership Skills O. C. Tanner | Featured Guest Blogger On October 9, 2012, the San Francisco Giants found themselves in a deep hole. Facing elimination in the National League Divisional Series against Cincinnati Reds, the Giants looked like they were headed home from a dismal and brief playoff run. They had just lost the first two games at home, with Game 2 being a complete blowout (a 9-0 win for the Reds). However, Game 3 changed the course for the Giants in the 2012 playoffs, all thanks to outfielder and relatively new teammate, Hunter Pence. Hours before Game 3, Pence took the initiative and gave his team a much needed pep talk in the visiting locker room. As San Francisco Chronicle columnist Bruce Jenkins recounts, “Manager Bruce Bochy called a team meeting in the clubhouse, said a few choice words, and then Pence took it upon himself to address the team. Normally, at times like this, the speaker will be a longtime veteran of the club, someone who exudes authority by his mere presence. Pence showed up only nine weeks ago—but if you’ve seen him play, you understand the burning desire he brings to the game. ”Pence’s speech emphasized teamwork, support and playing “one more day with you guys.” The team was fired up and after a thrilling, 10-inning Game 3 win, Pence was an overnight hero."

"text": "by John O'Sullivan / Monday, 16 December 2013 / Published in Mental Toughness, Praise, Sports Parenting The recent news out of Texas, where a 16 year old driver was only given probation for driving drunk and killing four innocent bystanders, popularized a new psychological term in the process. Apparently, parents raising children in wealthy suburbs with little oversight, few rules, and utter indifference to their behavior are causing “affluenza,” a supposed condition that causes a sense of entitlement, irresponsible behavior and, I will just say it, a generation of spoiled brats. Like many people, I first thought this might be a farcical article from “The Onion.” Then, I was appalled by the lack of a jail sentence for the driver. I was even more appalled that we live in a country where some people see wealth, privilege, and an abandonment of parental responsibilities as an excuse to commit manslaughter. Yet the point of this article is not to discuss the despicable lack of a jail sentence, nor is it to argue the merits of whether this is actually a psychological condition or not. What I would like to discuss is the similar condition that I see in many young athletes. These athletes – many of them, but not all of them, coming from well-to-do families – display an apathetic, indifferent attitude toward challenging situations, difficult training, tough coaches, and most any obstacle that lies in their path toward their goals. At every obstacle, they turn back. They may have great talent and coaching, but they are missing the mental toughness that is required to be a high performer."

Jiu Jitsu originated in feudal Japan around 500 years ago. As always, it came from some older roots, but the main focus was the Japanese feudal battlefield. Consider that Japanese samurai carried swords (a long Katana and a short Wakizashi), and often carried a knife (Tanto) as well. On the battlefield they wore hardened armour, while off the battle field they wore traditional kimonos, but still carried the swords. Now for the focus on Jiu Jitsu's particular techniques.

"text": "2000BC – The origins of Jiu-Jitsu It is difficult to say precisely at what point in time or where exactly Jiu-Jitsu originated. Despite the efforts of many historians and evidence pointing to Buddhist monks in India, basic elements of grappling can be traced back to places like Greece, India, China, Rome, and even Native America. When trying to understand the ultimate source of Jiu-Jitsu, one must avoid the simplification of attributing its creation to a person, group, or period in time. Jiu-Jitsu, as we understand it today, is a natural and intuitive way of fighting that has rudimentary manifestations in various cultures in different historic moments. But a martial art is comprised of more than just techniques or fighting strategies. The philosophy that defines the purpose of practice, and the moral code of the practitioners, is a powerful element that determines not only the direction of technical development, but the survival or death of the art itself.356BC – Jiu-Jitsu in India Looking from that point of view, it then makes perfect sense to associate Buddhist monks in India around 2,000 B. C. with the origins of Jiu-Jitsu. The Buddhist value system of deep respect for all forms of life allowed the development of such a system of self-defense that aimed to neutralize an aggression without necessarily harming the aggressor. Wrapped around important Buddhist principles like acting in a non-harmful way, and the pursuit of self-mastery and enlightenment, Jiu-Jitsu served well the self-defense needs of monks and spread throughout Asia towards China and later Japan, following the Buddhism expansion on that continent.1700 – Jiu-Jitsu in Japan: Golden Age and Decline of the Gentle Art While it is safe to assume that rudimentary versions of Jiu-Jitsu appeared in many cultures in different points in time, it was the feudal Japan of the second millennia A. C that the art encountered a fertile environment, allowing it to flourish and establish itself as a widespread style of combat. In a country fragmented by the feudal system, with each feud having its own set of warriors – the samurai – Jiu- Jitsu became a necessary fighting skill for combat survival. But the term “Jiu-Jitsu” (jujutsu) was not coined until the 17th A. C century, after which time it became a blanket term for a wide variety of grappling-related disciplines."

Ms. Hicks barks at them to \"\"drop and give me 20 push-ups, run three laps, do a cool down stretch, and come to practice tomorrow ready to run.\"\" They are going to run \"\"all day long\"\" for making too many mistakes and losing to the Panthers. At the start of a middle school physical education class, students line up in their squads to listen to Mr. Thomson's instructions about the warm-up activity. Caitlyn has already been asked once to \"\"open her ears \"\" yet she continues to talk with her friends while Mr. Thomson is addressing the class. When he can no longer ignore Caitlyn's disruptions, he stops what he is saying and orders Caitlyn and her friends to take a lap on the track and return to their squad when they are ready to listen, while the rest of the class waits for them. What are these athletes learning about their sports, their teams, and about physical activity when their coach or teacher uses exercise as a punishment?

Because football is a team game and extremely physical, football coaches may need to motivate players and inspire team play. They also may need to travel for away games and other sporting events. Coaches usually must work evenings and weekends, when a lot of football games are scheduled. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for coaches and scouts was $31,000 as of 2015."

"text": "\"Sports Martial Arts What's the difference between judo, karate and tae kwon do?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are several differences. First, the simple answers: 1 - Judo and Karate are Japanese martial arts while Tae Kwon Do is Korean. 2 - Judo is primarily grappling, a form a oriental wrestling. Karate and Tae Kwon Do are primarily striking arts using the hands and feet as weapons. 3 - Karate, though employing both hand and foot techniques focuses more on hand techniques. Tae Kwon Do also employees both hand and foot techniques, however they place more emphases on kicking. Now for a more in-depth look: Judo starts by teaching grappling techniques and could be considered the oriental version of Greco-Roman wrestling. Judo is primarily a sport, however at the black belt level in more traditional schools, striking and other self-defense techniques are taught. Karate is a broad term that encompasses many different schools (Ryu). Some of the more modern schools of Karate-do focus more on tournament skills and physical fitness then on self-defense while the more traditional schools are far more interested in the martial aspects of the art then the sport aspects."

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.

And thanks to exercise science, data show that squats are excellent for building strength, power and mobility. Full squats can help counteract many of the chronic musculo-skeletal problems we face today, such as weak glutes, hunched back, weak torso, etc. If a person can perform a full depth squat with their own bodyweight, they’re probably a fairly fit person. How to squat properly1. Balance stability and mobility The prime movers in the squat are the muscles around the hips and knees, but all joints below the belly button (hip, knee, ankle, foot) and most of the spine need both stability and mobility to squat properly.

"text": "Maintaining a Neutral Spine in the Squat March 5, 2013 | Category: Strength Training | 21 comments Tweet The key feature of proper squatting technique is the ability to maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. This becomes even more challenging if you’re trying to squat below parallel, and the difficulty that many people have with this only serves to perpetuate the myth that squatting is bad for your back. You may also have observed some really strong lifters performing a squat with a rounded back, which further complicates the issue. While it’s one thing to sacrifice a little bit of form when going for a near maximum-effort lift, this exception doesn’t apply to you if you’re not squatting triple your bodyweight, or if you’re still learning how to squat. Quality of movement should take precedence over the quantity of the resistance being moved. This doesn’t mean that the lumbar spine should never move into flexion or hyperextension. But it’s probably wise to avoid extreme end ranges of motion when you’re supporting a heavy load on your shoulders. As I explained in a previous post about squatting myths, squats will not destroy your back as long as you do them correctly. Since maintaining a neutral lumbar spine is typically the limiting aspect of the squat, let’s identify the source of the problem and then I’ll show you how you can correct it. First, I want to clear up a widespread misconception in regards to flexibility requirements of the squat."

And you’ll never get bored with squats because there are many different squat variations and barbells you can use to add variety to your training. Squats promote a stronger core, develop your lower body strength and size, and make you mentally tough; especially when you get deep into a 20 rep set. But, be warned. Squats are not easy to perform correctly or through a full range of motion. And good form is critical if you want the benefits without the negative side effects associated with performing them improperly. Also remember that poor form is not limited to getting crushed under the bar at the bottom of the lift. You don’t want to be that guy in the rack who is just hitting endless sets of ‘shallow knee bends’ and getting laughed at in the background. To get the full benefits of this multi-joint lower body exercise and to target the most muscle fibers, you will need to know how to do them right."

And even when I'm still forced to wait a bit, the line-up for my beloved squat rack is always far shorter than the leg press queue (arm curls in the squat rack crew notwithstanding). Silly weekend warriors. Everybody knows that squats are superior to leg presses right? They're harder to do, require more coordination, and just rate higher on the exercise badass scale than something that resembles a plate-loaded La-Z-Boy recliner. Don't these douchebags read Testosterone ? There's one massive problem with that logic: many bodybuilders with very large legs do leg presses."

"text": "\"Fitness How To Do Burpees For A Cardio Workout (Step By Step Guide)by Karen Reed Monday, July 25, 20160 10 5 9Last Updated: 11th October 2016If you are looking for a way to kick your workout into a higher gear, there is nothing that will do so like burpees. 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."

One of the most important things to remember when you are trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle is that your age, gender, activity level, nutritional habits, genetics, and fitness and health history will affect how you respond to exercise. No two individuals react to an exercise regime in the same way -- everyone's fitness and health journey will be unique. No one exercise, workout regime or diet can make you look like Megan Fox if you don't have her genetics. The trick to successfully adopting a healthier lifestyle long-term is to find a 'recipe for success' that works for your individual body. I get frustrated by fitness advice that is written in a way that makes it seem like every 'body' reacts to exercise in the same way. A perfect example of a post that frustrated me is the \"\"30 day squat challenge\"\", which is currently circulating on facebook.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:41The Pistol Squat – Better than the Back Squat The Pistol or One Legged Squat is the king of lower-body exercises! The traditional barbell back squat just doesn’t hold a thread to the pistol. The pistol is a very challenging exercise and those that can perform the exercise with ease have incredible leg strength as well as balance and flexibility. One of the main problems with the back squat is that the legs contain the biggest and strongest muscles in the human body. This means in order to work them sufficiently, heavier and heavier weights need to be used overtime. When you squat with weights, this big heavy bar has to be placed on the upper back. Placing this heavy weight on the upper back vertically loads the spine with significant force. This in turn compresses the vertebrae, the discs in the spine, which can cause problems ranging from lumbago and muscle strains to sciatica and bulging or fully herniated discs. Benefits of the Pistol Squat The benefits of mastering the pistol squat are enormous!"

Check out our top picks for leg day!Parker Hyde, MS, CSCS, and Bill Geiger August 18, 2017 • 9 min read Sponsored By: As much as you may have wanted to see them here, leg extensions and curls didn't make the cut for this list of the 10 best leg exercises. In fact, while they can be useful toward the end of your workout, they probably aren't even among the top 20, because single-joint moves just don't deliver much bang for your training buck. Across the board, multijoint leg exercises top this list. In addition to recruiting more muscle mass into the movement, multijoint exercises generate greater release of the muscle-building hormones testosterone and growth hormone. The amount of muscle called into play is critical on leg day because there are so many large muscle groups involved: the glutes (three muscles), quads (four muscles), hamstrings (three muscles), and calves (two muscles). And that list doesn't even include stabilizer muscles that are also recruited into many multijoint movements!As with our best-exercise lists for chest and back, we consulted EMG studies to see which exercises work your muscles to the max. But remember, choosing the right movement is only half the battle; you must also load it correctly and do the requisite number of sets to maximize the training stimulus. Always start your leg routine with the most challenging exercises that allow you to push the most weight. This list could easily have included 10 types of squats, so instead we went with just a few versions."

"text": "Squirrels and Bird Language: Detecting Alarms and Calls Squirrel calls have a lot to teach us as bird language observers. Even though squirrels aren’t birds they still have a wide array of vocalizations that can help us understand about the impact of predators & other animals in the landscape such as deer. One of the challenges that comes up with interpreting squirrel alarms is knowing whether their agitated calls are being made for territorial purposes or alarms. However there is a very simple way to know for certain that a particular “alarm” call you hear is either territorial or in response to a predator, and that’s what I’m going to share with you in this article. This distinction applies primarily to highly territorial squirrels like the red squirrel so I’ll be explaining it in terms of their vocalizations. It should also apply fairly well to the Douglas squirrel because they’re similar species and their vocalizations tend to work in a similar manner. Squirrel Sounds And Meanings If you live in a place where there are red squirrels then you’ve probably noticed at times their endless chatter of clucks & chips. Red Squirrel Tamiasciurus hudsonicus© Randolph Little Herkimer, New York, United States 11 Aug 1974Macaulay Library ML126514They’ll go up into the tree and shake their tail to draw attention to themselves while they go on and on with these loud calls that can be heard from quite a distance. Most people will recognize this sound as an alarm because it has such an intense & anxious sound to it. And it is in fact an alarm."

"text": "Part 1 Preparing for the Hunt1 Obtain a small game license. Squirrels are categorized as small game in most states (interestingly they are classed as vermin in the UK) and are therefore subject to the statutes pertaining to small game hunting. Obtaining a small game license in any given state usually entails filling out a form with your address, a driver’s license number, and other information, as well as paying a small fee. Though small game licenses aren’t usually as regulated, many states only grant a specific number of certain license types each year, so you may want to pay attention to the date your state begins accepting license applications for the year. For any questions you have regarding licensing, seasons, limits, etc. contact the proper governing body in your state. Each state’s hunting regulatory department goes by a different designation as well. For instance, in Nevada, it is the Nevada Department of Wildlife, [2] whereas New York’s equivalent is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. [ 3]2 Research what squirrels you can hunt. Many states additionally regulate the specific breeds of squirrel you can hunt in any given season."

Early spring is the hardest time of year for squirrels, since buried nuts begin to sprout and are no longer available for the squirrel to eat, and new food sources have not become available yet. During these times squirrels rely heavily on the buds of trees, in particular, those of the Silver Maple. Squirrels are omnivores; they eat a wide variety of plant food, including nuts, seeds, conifer cones, fruits, fungi, green vegetation, and insects.

It is my opinion that this third option is by far the most important. 1 - You can't really keep squirrels away from your property or yard by preventative techniques. The only way of keeping them away for sure is to trap and remove them, or even shoot them, which is not something I do. 2 - As discussed below, squirrel repellents are bogus. All you can hope to do is discourage them from chewing on the house with hot sauce. 3 - This is the most important: sealing the open holes shut permanently.

"text": "\"Theories of Explanation Within the philosophy of science there have been competing ideas about what an explanation is. Historically, explanation has been associated with causation: to explain an event or phenomenon is to identify its cause. But with the growth and development of philosophy of science in the 20th century, the concept of explanation began to receive more rigorous and specific analysis. Of particular concern were theories that posited the existence of unobservable entities and processes (atoms, fields, genes, and so forth). These posed a dilemma: on the one hand, the staunch empiricist had to reject unobservable entities as a matter of principle; on the other, theories that appealed to unobservable entities were clearly producing revolutionary results. Thus philosophers of science sought some way to characterize the obvious value of these theories without abandoning the empiricist principles deemed central to scientific rationality. A theory of explanation might treat explanations in either a realist or an epistemic (that is, anti-realist) sense. A realist interpretation of explanation holds that the entities or processes an explanation posits actually exist--the explanation is a literal description of external reality. An epistemic interpretation, on the contrary, holds that such entities or processes do not necessarily exist in any literal sense but are simply useful for organizing human experience and the results of scientific experiments--the point of an explanation is only to facilitate the construction of a consistent empirical model, not to furnish a literal description of reality. Thus Hempel 's epistemic theory of explanation deals only in logical form, making no mention of any actual physical connection between the phenomenon to be explained and the facts purported to explain it, whereas Salmon's realist account emphasizes that real processes and entities are conceptually necessary for understanding exactly why an explanation works."

Some noises may be ruled out as mechanical in nature: expanding or contracting pipes and ductwork, siding heating up and cooling, machinery vibrations, or the wind catching gutters or siding, all may be mistaken for pest activity. Examination of the timing, frequency, and location of the noise may give rise to an explanation other than pest activity.

Squirrels are notorious for digging up flower bulbs. What's worse is that once the squirrels find a food source on your property, they can make their way into your home looking for shelter. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to keep the squirrels out of your flowers, and away from your home. Soak all your flower bulbs in squirrel repellent bought from a garden center before planting them in the ground. This takes a little bit of your time, but will keep the flowers from becoming appealing to squirrels. Set up an animal trap and bait it with peanut butter. This is a favorite of squirrels. Once you catch the squirrels, you can set them free in a nearby park. Sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes around the base of your flowers."

What do you do when your dog catches a squirrel, bird, rabbit, fowl, other assorted small creature? As many of you know, Hayley is our two-year-old (ish) adopted Lab-Whippet mix. She’s fairly well-behaved – doesn’t chew things, totally house-trained, and knows most basic commands such as sit , stay, paw and kill Lochte – but she has a lot of energy. Almost too much energy. Energy that usually manifests itself by punching me in the face while I’m working, or in the yard when, God forbid, a small animal dares to enter the confines of Hayley’s Rancor Pit. I’ve been rooting for her to catch something since we got her in September. Hayley is fast, driven and an alpha, but there are enough gaps beneath the fence and other escape routes for her prey to get away, so she hadn’t caught anything other than a few mosquitos, a bumble bee (really), and the nose of Coco, the Chocolate Lab in the yard behind ours who now sports an Adidas racing stripe on his snout. Until last Sunday. She hadn’t caught anything… until last Sunday."

It prefers an open, parklike woods where large mature trees shade the forest floor and prevent the under-brush from flourishing, but it can adapt to a variety of forest habitats. It is most abundant in the eastern third of the state, and distribution in the wild is about one squirrel for every two or three acres. Since a fox squirrel ranges over an area of at least ten acres during any one season and may cover forty acres during a year's time, the territories of several often overlap. It is not uncommon for squirrels to share winter food supplies. The gray squirrel is smaller and faster than the fox squirrel, and its agility and skittishness have given it a second name – cat squirrel. Acorns are the most important fall and winter food for the fox squirrel. The nuts provide needed energy but are low in protein. Squirrels start eating hickory and other nuts in the dough stage while the nuts are still developing and continue eating them as they mature, burying them until the supply is gone. During the spring and summer the squirrels also eat insects, buds, green shoots, fruits, and seeds."

Just like other rodents, the ground squirrel often sits on its hind legs and keeps its noise high into the air, sniffing for food or predators. Originally, ground squirrels used to inhabit solely the prairie region. As land was cleared to the north and east, the habitat of the ground squirrels in the US expanded."

Tweet Except for gardeners having to replace bulbs and seedlings, and homeowners having to repair roofs, insulation, ceilings, and foundations, most people like having cute little squirrels of all kinds around. When squirrels become a pest, however, knowing the different types of squirrels is essential for choosing the rodent removal methods that will work. And even when the desire is encouraging squirrels to visit a park or woodland, understanding the different types of squirrels is necessary for protecting squirrels from predators, disease and knowing how to get rid of squirrels. Red Squirrels (Fox Squirrels)The most common squirrel in North America is the red squirrel. It is so common, in fact, that the nomenclature for red squirrels gets more than a little confusing. Sciurus niger, its Latin zoological name, literally means “black squirrel” ( Tesky, Julie L has wrote a paper on them). Red squirrels are also known as fox squirrels, stump-eared squirrels, raccoon squirrels, and monkey-faced squirrels. They are often mistaken for Eastern gray squirrels, despite the fact that the “red” squirrel has a reddish coat on its back, red and black on its tail, and rust-colored fur on its legs. Red squirrels are found throughout North America east of the Rocky Mountains, except in Canada’s maritime provinces and in New England."

Ground squirrels in desert environments might also feed on barrel cacti, mesquite beans and prickly pear fruit, states the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Omnivorous ground squirrels, such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, eat the same plants as herbivores, but they also include animals in their diet. This includes insects, insect eggs, earthworms and small mice. They may also eat other ground squirrels. Many communities consider ground squirrels to be nuisances due to their diets and habitats. While foraging, ground squirrels eat seeds and destroy young plants in gardens. They might also kill trees by eating the bark. In addition, burrows can dry out and kill plant roots, and the holes they dig create hazards for operating machinery, including lawn mowers. In many cases, people can trap or kill ground squirrels to remove them from the property."

There are more than 200 species of squirrels, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), and they are categorized into three types: tree squirrels, ground squirrels and flying squirrels. These three categories are further broken down into many squirrel types, such as Albino, Mountain Tree, Antelope, Spotted, Grey, American Red, Douglas, Fox, Pygmy, Northern Flying, Southern, Arizona Gray, Idaho, Arctic Ground, Albert’s, Franklin, Richardson, Rock, White and Black squirrel. Size Since there are so many types of squirrels, they range greatly in size. The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel. It grows to 2.8 to 5 inches (7 to 13 centimeters) in length and weighs just 0.35 ounces (10 grams). The Indian giant squirrel is the world's largest known squirrel.

What can we do to keep rodents away while feeding birds? -Mary Lou Birds and rodents both love to eat seeds; so where there’s one, there’s likely to be the other. Squirrels, mice, and rats can invade feeders; and they’re particularly fond of foraging on the ground for spilled seed and hulls. To keep rodents of all kinds away from your bird feeder, you need to manage the mess the birds leave behind. Try these tips to discourage rodents while enjoying birds at your feeder: Seed catcher tray on bird feeder Use a Seed Tray: Install a seed catcher tray on your feeder pole, to catch stray seeds and hulls that the birds drop as they eat. Some feeders come with detachable trays, or you can buy pole-mounted ones. Check out the Clever Clean Seed Tray from Droll Yankees, the Plastic Seed Saver Tray from Heath, and larger pole mounted trays from Birds Choice. An advantage of pole mounted trays is that the collected seed offers a second feeding platform for the birds. Choose No Waste Bird Food: A number of bird feeding options are available that reduce the amount of waste that’s dropped (thereby reducing the temptation for rodents)."

Since groundhogs are herbivores, they tend to eat whatever is in someone's garden. They often go after corn, soybeans and lettuce, as well as other vegetables grown in a garden. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Groundhogs Like to Eat? What Do Groundhogs Eat? Do Groundhogs Eat During the Winter? Full Answer Groundhogs get access to gardens by making tunnels in order to go under shallow fences and gates. These burrows are rather extensive and make it easy to lose track of the groundhogs. They often raid crops of residential and commercial properties."

"text": "How to Keep Mice, Rats, and Squirrels Away from Bird Feeders By: Julie Day It can be hard to feed the birds without feeding other critters, too!We love feeding the birds, but they drop seeds on our balcony and attract mice, rats, and squirrels. What can we do to keep rodents away while feeding birds? -Mary Lou Birds and rodents both love to eat seeds; so where there’s one, there’s likely to be the other. Squirrels, mice, and rats can invade feeders; and they’re particularly fond of foraging on the ground for spilled seed and hulls. To keep rodents of all kinds away from your bird feeder, you need to manage the mess the birds leave behind. Try these tips to discourage rodents while enjoying birds at your feeder: Seed catcher tray on bird feeder Use a Seed Tray: Install a seed catcher tray on your feeder pole, to catch stray seeds and hulls that the birds drop as they eat. Some feeders come with detachable trays, or you can buy pole-mounted ones. Check out the Clever Clean Seed Tray from Droll Yankees, the Plastic Seed Saver Tray from Heath, and larger pole mounted trays from Birds Choice. An advantage of pole mounted trays is that the collected seed offers a second feeding platform for the birds. Choose No Waste Bird Food: A number of bird feeding options are available that reduce the amount of waste that’s dropped (thereby reducing the temptation for rodents)."

They have silky grey and cinnamon brown fur, with white tipped and grey based belly hairs. Northern flying squirrels have a furred patagium (fleshy membrane) that extends from the wrist of the foreleg to the ankles of the hindleg. The tail is furred, flattened, rounded at the end, and long (80% of the length of the head and body). Northern flying squirrels have large black eyes, which they use for nighttime activity. Southern flying squirrels, which appear similar to northern flying squirrels, can be distinguished because they are smaller and the hairs on the belly are often white all the way to the base of the hair.

"text": "[ Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]From: Gary Tesinsky City: Chicago, ILWe have been feeding our back yard squirrels for the fall and winter and we noticed that a few of them have missing fur. One has a patch missing down his back and under both arms. Also another has some missing on his whole chest. They are all eating and seem to have a good appetite. We feed them a variety of nuts ( walnuts, pecans, hazlenuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds). They also have fresh water daily. We do not feed them with feeders, we place the nuts in several places on the ground. They do not all congregate there, they each will grab a nut and go and eat it in a seperate area away from each other. My question is, is this mange or are they molting their fur early? I live in Chicago IL and it has been unseasonably warm here this winter."

"text": "\"Lifeform of the week: Black squirrels are mutants, but not thugs By Alex Reshanov in Earth | March 3, 2011Black squirrels are just like Eastern gray squirrels, except with more fashionable genes. The first time I saw a black squirrel was while sitting in Manhattan’s Union Square Park. Naturally, I assumed I was just looking at a particularly sooty specimen of a more commonly seen New York City rodent – the eastern gray squirrel. But identically dark-coated squirrels manifested during subsequent lunch hours until I finally acknowledged that, unlike cats at night, not all squirrels are gray. Black is the new gray Image Credit: quinn.anya Black squirrels are melanistic versions of the species Sciurus carolinensis – the eastern gray squirrel. Aside from their dramatic pigmentation, they’re just like the fairer-haired members of their species. Their lifestyles are probably similar to the squirrels in your own neighborhood. * They live in trees, eat nuts, and make those squirrel sounds at you when you’re leaving for work in the morning. They are “scatter-hoarders,” which means they bury food they wish to store for later in numerous locations rather than in one or two well-guarded caches. Sometime they bury their leftovers in your outdoor flower pots, uprooting a perfectly good basil plant in the process."

Their terrific memories and adaptability makes these animals extremely interesting. Squirrels are a sub-group of rodents. There are thought to be at least 278 different species which include groundhogs and prairie dogs. It’s All In The Tooth Like the beaver, squirrels have self-sharpening teeth. They do most of their biting with their large incisors which grow continuously. The teeth are composed or two layers, the front is made of enamel while the back is composed of softer dentine. The dentine layer wears away first and because of this the teeth stay sharp. They use their chisel-like teeth for eating and gnawing at tough materials like hazelnuts.

"text": "\"Why Don't I Ever See Baby Squirrels? Share Tags: squirrel, baby animals, autumn, fall Created: 11/27/2012 Updated: 8/10/2016The simple answer is, baby squirrels don't leave the nest until they are fully furred and can survive on their own so, without seeing the mother right next to the babies, they all look about the same size. Most babies leave the nest in April or May. At this point the babies are fluffy and fat but the parents have exhausted their winter fat and are beginning to shed their winter fur, so look relatively small. A second litter of babies may leave the nest around September. At this point the parents have begun putting on fat and winter fur, so the apparent size difference can be greater. Because of this, it may be easier to identify babies born late in the year. Although baby squirrels have been recorded in almost every month of the year, these two litters, early spring and late summer, are the norm. Typically the early spring babies have the highest survival rate, especially in areas where it snows, since a small squirrel has to expend more energy than a large one to stay warm and find food. I managed to take a few pictures of a baby and a young adult male that were foraging near each other in the same park. Unfortunately, tree squirrels aren’t very social so I couldn’t get any useful pictures of them near each other, but they found my pen interesting so there is some scale."

Andrew Parkinson/Getty Images RARE roast beef splashed with meaty jus, pork enrobed in luscious crackling fat, perhaps a juicy, plump chicken ... these are feasts that come to mind when one thinks of quintessential British food. Lately, however, a new meat is gracing the British table: squirrel. Though squirrel has appeared occasionally in British cookery, history doesn’t deem it a dining favorite. Even during World War II and the period of austerity that followed, the Ministry of Food valiantly promoted the joys of squirrel soup and pie. British carnivores replied, “No, thank you. ”These days, however, in farmers’ markets, butcher shops, village pubs and elegant restaurants, squirrel is selling as fast as gamekeepers and hunters can bring it in. “Part of the interest is curiosity and novelty,” said Barry Shaw of Shaw Meats, who sells squirrel meat at the Wirral Farmers Market near Liverpool. “ It’s a great conversation starter for dinner parties."

Credit: S. Cooper Digital | Shutterstock Squirrels are nimble, bushy-tailed rodents found all over the world. They belong to the Sciuridae family, which includes prairie dogs, chipmunks and marmots. There are more than 200 species of squirrels, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), and they are categorized into three types: tree squirrels, ground squirrels and flying squirrels. These three categories are further broken down into many squirrel types, such as Albino, Mountain Tree, Antelope, Spotted, Grey, American Red, Douglas, Fox, Pygmy, Northern Flying, Southern, Arizona Gray, Idaho, Arctic Ground, Albert’s, Franklin, Richardson, Rock, White and Black squirrel. Size Since there are so many types of squirrels, they range greatly in size. The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel. It grows to 2.8 to 5 inches (7 to 13 centimeters) in length and weighs just 0.35 ounces (10 grams). The Indian giant squirrel is the world's largest known squirrel. It grows to 36 inches (1 meter) long and weighs up to 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms)."

Do give the white kind, NOT the red-dyed ones. Salted ones are just fine. Almonds ---- Give sparingly because these contain salicylates (the same ingredient in aspirin which is stored in the body and not easily thrown off -- takes 3 weeks for that chemical to go out of the body. Chestnuts are fine as long as they're sliced open with a knife, cut in half so inside can be inspected and tasted, if necessary. Withered, yellowed, or moldy chestnuts should never be given. Nor should those that have started to sprout be fed since they can be terribly bitter and leave a horrid aftertaste in the mouth. Their life span is very short -- shells are so porous and air can get in to spoil the pure white nutmeat inside, so do be cautious about feeding these. Brazil Nuts -- Give rarely because these are too high in phosphorus and make squirrels nervous."

"text": "\"Squirrels Several species of squirrels make their home in Texas, but the one with the widest distribution is the fox squirrel. It prefers an open, parklike woods where large mature trees shade the forest floor and prevent the under-brush from flourishing, but it can adapt to a variety of forest habitats. It is most abundant in the eastern third of the state, and distribution in the wild is about one squirrel for every two or three acres. Since a fox squirrel ranges over an area of at least ten acres during any one season and may cover forty acres during a year's time, the territories of several often overlap. It is not uncommon for squirrels to share winter food supplies. The gray squirrel is smaller and faster than the fox squirrel, and its agility and skittishness have given it a second name – cat squirrel. Acorns are the most important fall and winter food for the fox squirrel. The nuts provide needed energy but are low in protein. Squirrels start eating hickory and other nuts in the dough stage while the nuts are still developing and continue eating them as they mature, burying them until the supply is gone. During the spring and summer the squirrels also eat insects, buds, green shoots, fruits, and seeds."

There are many varieties of squirrel, and some species have at times been considered endangered or threatened. Today the most common varieties are the grey squirrel, western grey squirrel, red squirrel and California ground squirrel. Squirrels are primarily diurnal, gathering food during the day and resting at night. They generally are less active during the winter but do not hibernate. Behavior and Feeding Squirrels are forest dwellers. They primarily eat nuts and seeds, but will also eat berries, fungus and insects. Squirrels horde food in small amounts in several locations when it's abundant. Some caches of seeds are never recovered and instead become seedlings. Nests Squirrels construct their nests out of twigs and leaves, with grass and leaves lining the inside."

Tweet Except for gardeners having to replace bulbs and seedlings, and homeowners having to repair roofs, insulation, ceilings, and foundations, most people like having cute little squirrels of all kinds around. When squirrels become a pest, however, knowing the different types of squirrels is essential for choosing the rodent removal methods that will work. And even when the desire is encouraging squirrels to visit a park or woodland, understanding the different types of squirrels is necessary for protecting squirrels from predators, disease and knowing how to get rid of squirrels. Red Squirrels (Fox Squirrels)The most common squirrel in North America is the red squirrel. It is so common, in fact, that the nomenclature for red squirrels gets more than a little confusing. Sciurus niger, its Latin zoological name, literally means “black squirrel” ( Tesky, Julie L has wrote a paper on them). Red squirrels are also known as fox squirrels, stump-eared squirrels, raccoon squirrels, and monkey-faced squirrels. They are often mistaken for Eastern gray squirrels, despite the fact that the “red” squirrel has a reddish coat on its back, red and black on its tail, and rust-colored fur on its legs. Red squirrels are found throughout North America east of the Rocky Mountains, except in Canada’s maritime provinces and in New England."

selection of HP laptops isn't too hard when you know what you're looking for ahead of time. Consider size first. If you're going to take your Hewlett Packard laptop with you every day, look for a smaller screen size. Avoid tired eyes by choosing a better resolution screen that doesn't have a glossy finish. Using HP laptops for research papers or writing blogs? Opt for a larger keyboard without small keys that are cramped together. If your Hewlett Packard laptop is your primary computer, think about what you'll use it for. Streaming music and movies? Doing multiple things at once? Make sure the CPU speed and RAM capabilities can handle your needs."

"text": "Exploring SSD Performance in NAS Appliances By: Tyler Bernath | Posted: Jan 17, 2014 8:37 pm Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: A AOver the past year I have been experimenting and using NAS appliances with solid state drives. As most of you know, NAS appliances have typically been used to store and manage large amounts of data such as photos, videos etc. With the latest Qnap x70 lineup, SSD caching has come to the SMB and even home user if you so decide to purchase. That being said, most NAS vendors are going away from the typical RAID setup in their appliances opting for a more refined and flexible storage pooling or tiered storage if you would like to call it. Storage pools offer a tremendous amount of flexibility, as you can expand volumes without rebuilding an entire array. For instance, about a month ago I decided my TS-470 could benefit from an extra 4TB drive where previously I had an SSD in for caching. All I had to do was turn off SSD caching, shutdown the NAS and swap drives. Loading back up the Web GUI in QTS and telling the NAS to add the new 4TB volume to my existing array. Similarly, you could also setup two independent volumes, one with SSDs and the other a capacity driven HDD volume. You may ask what gain is there in using solid state drives over hard drives in a NAS application, after all the NAS is limited to its Ethernet connection."

Learn the surprising facts today so you can buy a hard disk that is indeed faster. To understand what affects HDD speed, we'll first have to give you a crash course on how hard disk drives work: Data inside a hard disk drive are stored on circular disks called platters. Most mainstream hard disk drives will have one to four platters stacked on top of one another. To read and write data, the hard disk platters are being spun around at dizzying speeds while a motorized arm moves a read/write head to where the data is located. High RPM Hard Drive Drive = Fast Hard Disk Speed - True What is RPM? RPM stands for revolutions per minute, and it's used to measure the rotational speeds of hard disk platters. All other things being equal, faster spinning platters will translate to quicker hard disk drives. In fact, the RPM of a hard disk drive makes the biggest impact on its overall speed."

If we look at DRAM latency to be a single heartbeat, then what happens when we scale that timing up to represent SSDs and HDDs? How many heartbeats would it take to access either one, and what could you do in that time? I still think it’s a pretty interesting way to make all these latency differences easier to understand. Just recently I learned of a Rich Report video of a 2015 presentation in which Micron’s Ryan Baxter uses a different and equally interesting analogy based on tomatoes.

"text": "SSD vs. HDD Pricing: Seven Myths That Need Correcting Posted April 16, 2014By Henry Newman Send Email »More Articles »This month I am going to take a look at SSD vs. HDD pricing. In my opinion, the claims by some vendors are over the top; their assertions about SSD pricing and density and HDD pricing and density simply do not match the market realities. It is time expose the real data. I understand that SSDs do offer superior price per IOPS than HDDs (up to ~110,000 with SAS SSDs for reads but only ~40,000 for SAS SSDs for writes), but this is only part of the discussion, as people want to use SSDs for bandwidth applications. The suggestion for combining NAND with HDDs to optimize performance is good. However, the market forecasts presented by many prognosticators that enterprise SSD prices will soon be on par with HDD prices are built on several faulty assumptions. Idealistic SSD Claims While the idea of using flash, NAND or Solid State Drives for an intermediate step between computing nodes and disk storage is not necessarily incorrect for improving performance (Seagate is already doing this with their SSHD hybrid drives ), it is built on several of flawed assumptions regarding flash storage. Post a comment Email Article Print Article Share Articles First, some assume that the price of MLC NAND flash will continue to decrease at a rapid and predictable rate that will make it competitive with HDDs for bandwidth, and nearly for capacity, by 2014 or 2015. This downward trend, it is assumed, will make flash a viable alternative for large storage and to act as a memory or “buffer” to improve performance. Second, there is a general assumption that prices for bandwidth ($/GB/s) for SSDs is much lower than for HDDs, and that enterprises will measure costs in these terms instead of capacity."

So what are Solid State Drives and what advantages do they provide over traditional drives? And most importantly, why should you get a laptop with an SSD? Find out more below. What is a Solid State Drive? A solid-state drive is a storage device that uses flash memory to store files.

A hard drive is a secondary storage device that consists of one or more platters to which data is written using a magnetic head, all inside of an air-sealed casing. Internal hard disks reside in a drive bay, connect to the motherboard using an ATA, SCSI, or SATA cable, and are powered by a connection to the PSU (power supply unit). All computers have a hard drive installed in them, which is used to store files for the operating system, software programs, and a user's personal files. A computer cannot function without a hard drive installed, as it requires one to function properly. Tip: New users often confuse memory ( RAM) a primary storage with disk drive space.

Published November 9, 2011 | By Jim Handy The SSD Guy often hears people ask: “When will SSD prices drop below the prices of HDDs?”This makes a lot of sense. After all, NAND flash, which makes up the bulk of the cost of an SSD is renowned for its rapidly-falling prices. The short answer to this question is: “ Never !” Although NAND flash prices are indeed dropping at an amazing rate, HDD capacities are increasing at a similarly amazing rate. Given that the typical high-volume HDD sells for a relatively static $50 it’s easy to derive an average cost per gigabyte for HDDs and plot that against the price per gigabyte of NAND flash, which is exactly what we did in the graphic for this post. This chart, assembled with data provided by Price G2, an HDD and SSD price tracking service, plots average NAND and HDD price per gigabyte from 2004 to 2011. It originally appeared in the Objective Analysis report – How PC NAND Will Undermine DRAM – which can be ordered directly from the Objective Analysis website.

Antidepressant Drugs, SSRIAntidepressant Drugs, SSRIDefinition Purpose SSRIs are prescribed primarily to treat mental depression. Because they are as effective as other types of antidepressants and have less serious side effects, SSRIs have become the mostcommonly pre-scribed antidepressants for all age groups, including children and adolescents. In addition to treating depression, some SSRIs have been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of other disorders including:obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)generalized anxiety disorderpanic disordersocial anxiety disorder or social phobiapremenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or premenstrual syndrome (PMS)post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder. SSRIs often are prescribed for other \"\"off-label\"\" uses including:various mental disorders including schizophreniamaniamenopause-related symptoms such as hot flashesgeriatric depressionloss of mental abilities in the elderlynicotine withdrawalalcoholismpremature ejaculation The advantages of SSRIs over other types of antidepressants include: Most SSRIs can be taken in one daily dose as compared with three to six daily pills. Because they lessen cravings for carbohydrates, SSRIs usually do not cause weight gain. Since SSRIs do not appear to affect the cardiovascular system, they can be prescribed forpeople with high blood pressure or heart conditions. Since SSRIs are not particularly dangerous even in high doses and are unlikely to causepermanent damage if misused, they may be prescribed for suicidal adults. SSRIs are mood enhancers only in depressed individuals."

The descriptions written by patients who stopped taking these drugs tell the true story. SSRIs are a class of compounds typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and some personality disorders. A team of professionals set out to study websites where former SSRI patients had posted their personal withdrawal stories. The team then tabulated the types of withdrawal effects reported by those living through them. In Sept of 2012 “Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics” published the results in a paper contributed by these researchers from the Department of Psychology at the Univ. of Bologna, Italy, the Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program, at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA and the Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine at Mc Gill Univ., Montreal, Canada. The researchers found that patients indeed had significant withdrawal symptoms while trying to quit the SSRI and significant post withdrawal problems long after they had stopped taking the drug. The authors discovered two phases of SSRI withdrawal."

Respond to this Question Report Favorite Responses (7)Sort MA masso 27 Mar 2014The biggest difference between an SSRI and an SNRI has to do with neurotransmitters. Experts believe that depression occurs when brain chemicals called neurotransmitters become unbalanced. Antidepressant drugs attempt to bring these neurotransmitters back into balance and alleviate the symptoms of depression. Although the exact cause is not known, three neurotransmitters have been identified as being related to depression. Studies showed imbalances in dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in patients with depression."

"text": "\"Medication for Anxiety The use of medication is a critical issue among those who struggle with anxiety on a daily basis, as well as for professionals treating anxiety disorders. For many people, medication is a positive turning point along the path to recovery. For others, medication can confuse and complicate the recovery process, when freedom from anxiety is purchased at the cost of long-term addiction to tranquilizers. For still other people—those who are either phobic of or philosophically opposed to all types of drugs—medication may seem not to be an option, even when it's needed. One thing is clear: The pros and cons of relying on medication are unique and variable in each individual case. If you feel your problem with anxiety is relatively mild (if it's more of an inconvenience or nuisance instead of a debilitating or highly distressing condition), you may want to consider cognitive behavioral therapy (as described on this site) and/or natural approaches first before trying prescription medication. Natural approaches include regular, preferably aerobic exercise, a practice of regular deep relaxation (for example, a recorded relaxation visualization or meditation), stress management, simplifying your life, and natural herbs or supplements which have a relaxing effect. More information on all of these approaches is available in any of my self-help books (see self-help books button). On the other hand, if you have a more severe problem with anxiety, appropriate use of medication may be an important part of your treatment. This is particularly true if you're dealing with panic disorder, agoraphobia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Let's begin by talking about what a tremor is, the different types of tremors, and what other medications as well as medical conditions which may contribute to a tremor. Tremors: Definition Tremor is an involuntary shaking that occurs in the head, limbs or eyelids. This shaking can occur either when you are moving or when you are attempting to hold your body still. It is usually fast (about four to 12 movements per second) and it may come and go or occur in bursts. It may subside during sleep and get worse when a person is under stress.

Email: We respect your email privacy Zoloft Side Effects: Common Antidepressants May Affect Imune System By Dr. Ben Kim Dr Ben Kim.com According to scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center and at Robarts Research Institute in Canada, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft may have a significant effect on the immune system. This contention is based on the recent discovery that serotonin is exchanged between important cells in the immune system, and is specifically used to trigger an immune reaction in response to various stimuli. Serotonin is a chemical that is transmitted between cells in the brain. It is associated with feelings of pleasure, mood, and appetite. SSRI drugs like Paxil and Prozac are antidepressants that are designed to keep serotonin within the stimulating regions between cells in the brain, which is intended to enhance serotonin's positive effects. Since SSRI antidepressants have a direct impact on serotonin, it stands to reason that these drugs have some effect on the immune system. As more is discovered about what serotonin does in the immune system, the specific impact that SSRI drugs have on immune function should become more clear. Cells in the brain communicate mainly through chemicals, also known as neurotransmitters."

"text": "How Do Antidepressant Drugs Work By Marie Gronley What is The Mechanism of Action and How Do Antidepressant Drugs Work Generally speaking most drugs (excluding replacement therapies) don’t have any intrinsic properties that alleviate the targeted symptoms but rather assist the body in regulating its own chemistry through differing mechanisms. How do antidepressant drugs work? Antidepressants work by controlling the balance of the neurochemistry in the brain. There are three chemicals referred to as neurotransmitters: serotonin (5HT or 5-hydroxytryptamine), norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA). Each class of antidepressant has a mechanism that works to increase the levels of these neurotransmitters. Each class has various side effects associated with them. Most psychiatrists do not ignore any of these because sometimes patients may not respond or have problematic side effects to the newer medications and will respond to the older ones much better. The newer SSRIs and SNRIs typically begin to work faster with fewer side effects. Do antidepressants really work? Yes, they are very effective although, there is always a small segment of the population that is treatment refractory and don’t respond to the medication in which case we have other forms of treatment."

Escitalopram was developed collaboratively by Forest Pharmaceuticals and Lundbeck, the developer of citalopram and was approved for use in the US in 2003. Some people assert that escitalopram is an example of \"\"lifecycle management\"\"-finding new ways to use or market a drug to preserve the patent or the market share of the drug. Because escitalopram is an isomer of citalopram, it took less time and money to develop and was ready for marketing by the time the patent on citalopram expired. Some people assert that the two drugs are virtually identical and that escitalopram should not be patented. In court challenges, however, Forest Pharmaceuticals demonstrated that there are significant differences between the drugs, and the patent for escitalopram has been upheld. The Bottom Line: What You Really Need to Know Escitalopram (Lexapro) is used to treat depression, anxiety, OCD, body dysmorphic disorder and pervasive developmental disorders. The usual dose of escitalopram is 10 mg/day for depression and 10-20 mg/day for anxiety. Be sure to take it exactly as your doctor directs. Escitalopram interacts with many different medications."

"title": "http://animals.mom.me/fruits-dwarf-hamsters-eat-1264.html\nWhat Fruits Do Dwarf Hamsters Eat?",
"text": "Although dwarf hamsters are smaller than their Syrian cousins, they have faster metabolisms and therefore similar calorie needs. The bulk of their diet should come from a quality commercial hamster food made up primarily of seeds, grains and pellets. About a tablespoon per day suffices. Beyond that, you should provide a small amount of fresh supplemental food every other day or so, a small portion of which can be certain fruits. Introducing Fruit Before supplementing your dwarf hamster's diet with fruits or vegetables and other foods, understand that she'll eat just about any food item she encounters. She doesn't have a great sense of what's healthy, unhealthy or potentially dangerous. It's up to you to verify that anything you feed her is safe. Once you've determined certain fruits are OK, introduce them in tiny quantities to make sure each one agrees with your individual pet and doesn't make her sick or cause diarrhea. Also, start by providing fruit only once a week for a few weeks, then gradually add in a piece here and there until you're providing a little fruit every two or three days. This helps your dwarf hamster's digestive system become accustomed to the increased fiber and sugar, hopefully preventing diarrhea and other digestive upset."

Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: For the job interview I think it would be good to know that produce includes fruits, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, & nuts. Organic is usually kept separate and begged in different color bags. Produce comes from different parts of the world (suppliers) depending on seasonality. For example, South American produce is \"\"in season\"\" in North America's winter. Many customers want the labels to show country of origin so they can shop \"\"local\"\", or buy \"\"USA\"\" or boycott some country or state. For your own education check out the difference between: a plantain and a banana; a Hass and Fuerte avocado; upland cress and watercress."

"text": "\"On Wednesday, Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, was asked to react to a statement made by Hillary Clinton who asked why it was relevant that the White House had initially blamed a You Tube video for the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi. “ What difference, at this point, does it make?” Clinton asked. Hicks responded today by saying that the administration’s linking of the attacks to a You Tube video made a big difference in regards to Libya’s relationship with Washington.

"text": "In 2016, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) continued to pursue high-profile enforcement cases and to test its new enforcement authority under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). On the regulatory front, the Commission issued several major final rules (margin for uncleared swaps, cross-border requirements for the margin rules, aggregation of positions and cybersecurity) and several important proposals which remain pending (position limits, Regulation AT, cross-border application of the registration thresholds and external business conduct standards, and swap dealer and major swap participant capital requirements). Looking forward to 2017, the Commission’s composition and regulatory agenda are certain to change. The Trump Administration, together with a Republican-majority Congress, likely will cause a significant shift in the regulatory landscape, both through the administration’s appointments and through new legislation. The new president will have an opportunity to appoint three new members to the Commission in early 2017, and Congress has already begun work on CFTC reauthorization. Typically, the agency’s enforcement agenda has not varied as much as the regulatory agenda from one administration to the next, but even here significant shifts in emphasis or focus are possible. Nevertheless, it is too early to predict the course of the next administration and exactly how expansive the shifts in the regulatory and enforcement programs will be. Enforcement The CFTC filed 68 enforcement actions in Fiscal Year 2016 (ended in September), obtaining $1.29 billion in restitution, disgorgement and civil monetary penalties. Although the number of actions is consistent with the CFTC’s recent enforcement activity, the amount of monetary sanctions represents a decrease from the $3.14 billion obtained in 2015 and the record $3.27 billion obtained in 2014. The Commission filed an additional four enforcement actions from October 1 through December 31, 2016, and settled or obtained judgment in an additional nine actions during this period."

Parke-Davis In 1996, whistleblower David Franklin left his position as a medical liaison with Parke-Davis, a pharmaceutical division of Warner-Lambert Company, after learning of the company's marketing strategy to promote the epilepsy drug Neurontin for uses not approved by the FDA. [ 1] Franklin and his attorney, Thomas M. Greene, filed a lawsuit, Franklin v. Parke-Davis, under the False Claims Act in federal district court in Boston. In the first off-label promotion case ever litigated in a whistleblower suit under the False Claims Act, the settlement was announced after eight years of litigation in May 2004. Warner-Lambert agreed to pay $430 million to resolve all civil and criminal liability, with $24.64 million going to Franklin for his participation in the lawsuit. [ 2] To date, it is one of the largest recoveries against a pharmaceutical company in U. S. history. The total settlement remains the largest against a pharmaceutical company in a non-intervened False Claims Act case, but a July 2017 settlement against Celgene Corporation exceeds it, as the civil settlement in that case was $280 million while the civil component of the Parke-Davis case settled for $190 million.

Saharsky Assistant to the Solicitor General, Department of Justice, for the United States, as amicus curiae, supporting the petitioners Mark A. Perryfor the respondents Facts of the case The plaintiffs, Jackie Lawson and Jonathan Zang, brought a lawsuit against their former employer, FMR LLC, a subcontractor of Fidelity Investments (Fidelity), alleging that the company unlawfully fired them in retaliation for filing complaints. Both Lawson and Zang told the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) that they believed that Fidelity had violated certain rules and regulations set forth by both the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and federal laws relating to fraud against shareholders. Sometime after filing these complaints, Zang was terminated for unsatisfactory performance. Lawson filed several retaliation claims against her employer with OSHA, and resigned in 2007, claiming that she had been constructively discharged. Zang and Lawson each filed separate actions against their former employers in district court. They alleged that the defendants violated \"\"whistleblower\"\" protection sections of the Sarbanes-Oakley Act by taking retaliatory actions against them. The district court found in favor of the plaintiffs and held that the whistleblower provisions extended to employees of private agents, contractors, and subcontractors to public companies and that the plaintiffs had engaged in protected activity under the statute. The defendants appealed to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which reversed the decision. Looking at both Congressional intent and the plain meaning of the statute, the Court of Appeals held that the plaintiffs were not protected employees under the act."

It is an equally unfortunate truth that because our federal and state governments are often stretched so thin, they have limited resources to devote to tracking down and prosecuting individuals and companies who steal from them. Recognizing this fact, the United States government, as well as numerous states throughout the country, have adopted laws that entitle a whistleblower who brings such fraud and theft to the attention of the proper authorities to keep a portion of the proceeds ultimately recovered. This is known as a qui tam lawsuit. There are companies and entities that engage in unethical and illegal behavior against the government and would get away with it, if not for whistleblowers. Whistleblower is the informal term for individuals who choose to retain private counsel to recover the losses to the government caused by the fraud. They are able to do so under the False Claims Act (also known as the “Lincoln Law”), which provides financial incentive to individual citizens who come forward with knowledge of fraud and secure legal counsel to fight on the government’s behalf. As a result, the whistleblower, or relator, recovers a portion of the damages assessed against the perpetrator. The relator doesn’t have to have been directly hurt by the conduct to pursue litigation. What are ‘qui tam’ lawsuits?"

"text": "AOC officials: Proposed judicial district does not cut costs By Danielle Battaglia [email protected] Apr 9, 2017 ( …)Bradsher Blitzer By Tim Rickard/[email protected] Officials of the N. C. Administrative Office of the Courts said a proposal to combine Rockingham, Person and Caswell counties into one judicial district is not about saving money. Reps. David Lewis (R-Harnett) and Sarah Stevens (R-Surry) on March 22 filed House Bill 439, which, if it were to become law, would dissolve Judicial District 9A. That district, which encompasses Person and Caswell counties, would be combined with Rockingham County in District 17A.“The specific redistrict...does not have a significant cost impact,” said Sharon Gladwell, spokeswoman for the AOC. “ Rather, the redistricting addresses the re-alignment of staff resources to meet workload demand. ”The proposal would not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2019, and would eliminate three prosecutors and the elected district attorney position for 9A. The district attorneys’ offices in these three counties have been under investigation for the alleged theft of state funds for the misuse of the payroll system and are the focus of a whistleblower’s lawsuit. Superior Court Judge Joe Crosswhite ordered the State Bureau of Investigation to examine the allegations in July 2016. A lawsuit filed in February by Debra Halbrook, a former legal assistant working under Person/Caswell District Attorney Wallace Bradsher, thrust the offices into the public spotlight. Halbrook admitted she reported to the SBI that her boss and former Rockingham County District Attorney Craig Blitzer hired their wives in an attempt to collect more than $100,000 combined in annual salary, despite the wives’ rarely having worked. Her suit also alleges Halbrook was fired for having made that report. After HB 439 was filed, Rep. Larry Yarborough (R-Person) said he had no indication that the SBI’s investigation led to the bill’s introduction."

Pearlman There’s now a clear circuit split between the Fifth Circuit and the Second Circuit on whether the whistleblower protection provision in Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Act (15 U. S. C. § 78u-6) protects complaints that are made within a company, but not to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On July 17, 2013, the Fifth Circuit said it doesn’t, but on Sept. 10, 2015, the Second Circuit said it does . Will the U. S. Supreme Court choose to decide which view prevails? It’s quite likely. Dodd-Frank’s Whistleblower Provisions and the SEC’s View Dodd-Frank amended the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) both to establish a SEC-administered whistleblower bounty program and to prohibit retaliation against whistleblowers. These features fit hand-in-glove: report to the SEC in hopes of a bounty and you’ll be protected against retaliation for doing so. But apparently it’s not that simple, at least according to the Second Circuit and a number of district courts. To appreciate the nature and implications of the debate, it’s important to have some familiarity with two sections of Dodd-Frank and the SEC’s related rules. Section 21F (a) (6) of the Exchange Act defines “whistleblower” as “any individual who provides … information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the Commission, in a manner established, by rule or regulation, by the Commission.” ("

"text": "INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES FOR WHISTLEBLOWER POLICIESBy: Tom Devine, Legal Director July 22, 2016The Government Accountability Project (GAP) is a non-profit, nonpartisan public interest law firm that specializes in protection for genuine whistleblowers -- employees who exercise free speech rights to challenge institutional illegality, abuse of power or other betrayals of the public trust they learn of or witness on the job. GAP has been a leader in the public campaigns to enact or defend nearly all United States national whistleblower laws; and played partnership roles in drafting and obtaining approval for the original Organization of American States (OAS) model law to implement its Inter-American Convention Against Corruption and whistleblower protection policies for staff and contractors at the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the OAS, and the United Nations. While whistleblower protection laws are increasingly popular, in many cases the rights have been largely symbolic and therefore counterproductive. Employees have risked retaliation thinking they had genuine protection, when in reality there was no realistic chance they could maintain their careers. In those instances, acting on rights contained in whistleblower laws has meant the near-certainty that a legal forum would formally endorse the retaliation, leaving the careers of reprisal victims far more prejudiced than if no whistleblower protection law had been in place at all. Review of the track records for these and prior laws over the last three decades has revealed numerous lessons learned, which have steadily been solved on the U. S. federal level through amendments to correct mistakes and close loopholes. GAP labels token laws as “cardboard shields,” because anyone relying on them is sure to die professionally. We view genuine whistleblower laws as “metal shields,” behind which an employee’s career has a fighting chance to survive. The checklist of 20 requirements below reflects GAP’s 35 years of lessons learned on the difference. All the minimum concepts exist in various employee protection statutes currently on the books."

Overview While state law prohibits municipal officers from engaging in certain conflicts of interest and unethical behavior (see our page on Ethics and Conflicts of Interest ), some local governments adopt their own ethics codes that include additional restrictions. These policies cannot conflict with state law, but they can supplement it. There are several good reasons to adopt a local ethics code: It allows the municipality to further explain what is covered by state law;It can cover employees as well as officers; and It can address ethical issues not covered by state law. Sometimes these ethics codes are adopted as part of an employee handbook or policy, but often they are codified. Below are some of the most common topics addressed by local ethics codes as well as examples of different policy approaches for each. It is up to each jurisdiction to determine what topics—if any—should be addressed in its ethics code. Nepotism Nepotism provisions aim to keep family patronage out of local government.

Soca was initially developed by Lord Shorty around 1972/1973 in an effort to improve traditional calypso which seemed to be on its last legs in Trinidad by the start of the 1970s with the rise in popularity of reggae from Jamaica and soul & funk from USA with the younger generation. A sound project was started in 1970 at KH Studios, Sea Lots in Trinidad, to find a way to record the complex calypso rhythm in a new multi-track era. Musicians involved in the initiative were Robin Imamshah (guitar, project lead), Angus Nunez (bass), Errol Wise (Drums), Vonrick Maynard (Drums), Clarence James (Percussion), Carl Henderson (Keyboards), David Boothman (strings). Some of the early songs recorded at the KH Studios that benefitted from this recording project are “Indrani” by Lord Shorty and \"\"Calypso Zest\"\" by Sensational Roots both recorded in 1972. Later came the soca hits “Endless Vibrations” and “Sweet Music” by Lord Shorty recorded in 1974 and 1975 respectively and “Second Fiddle” by Ella Andall recorded in 1975. In 1976 “Savage” by Maestro and “Trinidad Boogie” by Last Supper (composed by Robin Imamshah) also benefitted from the improving multi-track recording technology at KH Studios."

For those who need a clue, He's a member of the touring and studio bands of: Pink Floyd (A Momentary Lapse of Reason, on which he co-wrote “Learning to Fly”, and the follow up album, The Division Bell, and their accompanying tours), David Gilmour (On An Island album and tour), and Roger Waters (In The Flesh tour, since then a key part of his band on and off the stage). He also performed with the reunited Pink Floyd at Live8 at London's Hyde Park in 2005. We caught up with Jon for a truly fascinating, in depth interview asking about these things and much more - and included are some of the questions received from Brain Damage readers!How did your involvement with PF begin? How did you feel when you started this relationship? I met David at the Live Aid rehearsals in 1985.

This is achieved by attaching the drum (s) to a special harness (also called a carrier or rack) worn by the drummer, although not all marching bands use such harnesses and instead use traditional baldrics to sling their drums (the British Armed Forces, for instance, still use the old style of slung drums).

"text": "Steel Pan History and Development Steel pans (steel drums)were created on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 1930s, but steel pan history can be traced back to the enslaved Africans who were brought to the islands during the 1700s. They carried with them elements of their African culture including the playing of hand drums. These drums became the main percussion instruments in the annual Trinidadian carnival festivities. In 1877, the ruling British government banned the playing of drums in an effort to suppress aspects of Carnival which were considered offensive. Bamboo stamping tubes were used to replace the hand drums as they produced sounds comparable to the hand drum when they were pounded on the ground. These tubes were played in ensembles called tamboo bamboo bands. View Larger Map Non-traditional instruments like scrap metal, metal containers, graters and dustbins were also used in tamboo bamboo bands. However, by the 1930’s these metal instruments dominated the tamboo bamboo bands. The bamboo tubes were eventually abandoned and replaced by the metal instruments. These early metal pan bands were a rustic combination of a wide variety of metallic containers and kitchen utensils which were struck with open hands, fists or sticks."

Whether mired in deep mud or wedged between two rocks, the vehicle extraction process can induce feelings of frustration, humility, and even desperation. However, even in the worst stuck scenario, one can avoid all of those displeasures by deploying the pulling power of a trusty winch. No 4x4 is complete without one, and no other mechanical contraption comes close to accomplishing the job a winch is designed for. Historically, winches were considered implements of necessity, rarely used by the average person, and the last thing anybody would associate with vehicular mobility. However, that all changed in 1945 when brothers Claude and Rayburn Ramsey of Ramsey Tool and Die Company figured out how to package their Model 101 winch, a shaft-powered unit, to the front of World War II-era Jeeps. The concept was simple and effective, allowing drivers the ability to self-extract a stuck vehicle from snow and mud with a one-direction pull. Fast forward some 70 years, and winching technology has come a long way. Millions own and operate winches regularly, and they come in hundreds of configurations and intended uses. However, not all were created equal, and consumers must face the task of figuring out what specific type and size is best for their 4x4."

"text": "Hang Drum History and Information Much has changed since the Hang ® (drum) was first created in the year 2000, which we will expand on further in a moment. But before we delve into the history of this amazing instrument and how it came to be, we first need talk about the controversy surrounding its name and why you shouldn’t call it a Hang Drum. So, first things first, we need to clear up that the instrument is not technically called a Hang drum. It is, in fact called a “Hang Instrument” or just “Hang”. The instrument, which is a member of the idiophone class, is also known as a Handpan or Steel Drum. With that said, it’s fair to say that the incorrect term “Hang drum” has caught on and is not going away, despite the wishes of its original creators. The most appropriate name for instruments made in inspiration of the original Hang ® is Handpan. The Hang was introduced to the public domain in 2001 by a company called PANArt. In late 2013 they decided to discontinue the production of the Hang entirely and instead concerted their efforts on their new creations, the Gubal and the Gede. Although PANArt’s new instruments sounds great, they don’t have the beautiful resonant sound that the original Hang design produces, and for this reason, the Hang and instruments made in its image are still highly sought after."

Country music was one of the first genres of modern American popular music, and old-time music was its earliest style. It developed in the southeastern states of the USA as a mix of folk music from the British Isles, church music and African American blues. It was played on instruments like acoustic guitar, mandolin, autoharp, fiddle and the banjo. Old-time music was first recorded in the 1920s, with recordings of the Carter Family becoming the most popular. A. P. Carter collected folk songs and also wrote new songs, and he sang them in harmony with his guitar-playing sister-in-law Maybelle and his wife Sarah, who also played autoharp. Songs like Can The Circle Be Unbroken (By and By) and Wildwood Flower became hit records, and the Carter Family became the first stars of country music.

A song that broke some writer's block for me and a song about mending old friendships that would have regrettably ended otherwise. I recorded it one afternoon in a backyard shed at a friend's house, alone, with the window open. There were a number of sharp tools lying around and I remember almost scalping myself on a pair of rusty hedge clippers hanging from the rafters. Sometimes it's best to take that leap and just trust what's there even though it could bring some pain."

"text": "How Great Thou Art Released: Feb. 20, 1967This was the focal point of the May 1966 sessions, which were themselves an outgrowth of several months of jamming at home with his friends Red West and Charlie Hodge. The pop recordings released to date were only an indication of the level of aspiration of these sessions; the gospel sides were their realization. Elvis originally had had the idea of recording with the great African-American bass singer Jimmy Jones and his quartet but, after searching for him fruitlessly for some time put together an all-star backup group of eleven singers, including one of his all-time idols, Jake Hess. So proud was Elvis of having Hess on his album that he featured him on a number of songs, bringing his voice up in the mix to the point that he had to be brought back down again afterwards by agreement of RCA and Colonel Parker. Elvis’ own voice was fuller than even his most operatic performances; the musicians delivered strong, imaginative performances; and the vocal arrangements only served to emphasize the grandeur (some might say the grandiosity) of approach and tone. The overall effect was of a scope and breadth that stood in direct counterpoint to the relative simplicity of 1960’s His Hand In Mine. It was a big sound, with an extended reach, as Elvis’ virtuosic performance of “How Great Thou Art” became one of his best-loved and most-requested standards, and the album won him his first Grammy.

"text": "Anwers to Steel Drum Questions The steel drum is a unique musical instrument created in the late 1930s on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Made from 55-gallon barrels, the drums have a rustic appearance but a sophisticated sound that surprises listeners. Musicians expressing themselves with the haunting, melodic sound from steel containers soon discovered ways to produce distinct tones from the convex-shaped surface of drums of all kinds. They began playing simple songs and a new sound was added to the folk music of Trinidad. It is called calypso. Since the 1940s many advances have been made, the drums are now concave with the notes hammered up. Nine varieties of steel drums or 'pans' as they are called in Trinidad, exist allowing the musician to play a full range of voices with the steel drum. This 20th Century percussion instrument sometimes combines its sounds with other percussion to create a lively, festive music that began in the celebration of Carnival in Trinidad. What is the name of this instrument? How does it make the sound?"

"text": "By Richard J. Brennan Provincial Politics Laurie Monsebraaten Social justice reporter Thu., Oct. 8, 2015The Ontario government says it is determined to close the wage gap between men and women. Labour Minister Kevin Flynn is to announce Thursday that the Gender Wage Gap Steering Committee will begin public consultation sessions this fall with groups across the province. “We need to close the gender wage gap and eliminate inequity for women in the workforce. It is the right thing to do,” Flynn says in a release obtained by the Star. And it is about time, say advocates who have been calling for provincial action on the issue for years. “The committee was appointed in April and was supposed to have its report on consultations filed within seven months,” said lawyer Mary Cornish of the Equal Pay Coalition. “ So they are way behind. At least they are getting started now. ”The coalition, which promotes the annual Equal Pay Day in Ontario, hopes Thursday’s announcement also includes a robust public-engagement campaign."

"text": "For drugmaker Glaxo Smith Kline, the 17-page article in the New England Journal of Medicine represented a coup. The 2006 report described a trial that compared three diabetes drugs and concluded that Avandia, the company’s new drug, performed best. “We now have clear evidence from a large international study that the initial use of [Avandia] is more effective than standard therapies,” a senior vice president of Glaxo Smith Kline, Lawson Macartney, said in a news release. What only careful readers of the article would have gleaned is the extent of the financial connections between the drugmaker and the research. The trial had been funded by Glaxo Smith Kline, and each of the 11 authors had received money from the company. Four were employees and held company stock. The other seven were academic experts who had received grants or consultant fees from the firm. Whether these ties altered the report on Avandia may be impossible for readers to know. But while sorting through the data from more than 4,000 patients, the investigators missed hints of a danger that, when fully realized four years later, would lead to Avandia’s virtual disappearance from the United States: View Graphic The drug raised the risk of heart attacks. “If you looked closely at the data that was out there, you could see warning signs,” said Steven E.

The ISO 27002:2013 Organization of Information Security domain objective is “to establish a management framework to initiate and control the implementation and operation of information security within the organization.” This domain requires organizations to decide who is responsible for security management, the scope of their authority, and how and when it is appropriate to engage outside expertise. Julie Allen, in her seminal work “Governing for Enterprise Security,” passionately articulated the importance of governance as applied to information security:“Governing for enterprise security means viewing adequate security as a non-negotiable requirement of being in business. If an organization’s management—including boards of directors, senior executives and all managers—does not establish and reinforce the business need for effective enterprise security, the organization’s desired state of security will not be articulated, achieved or sustained. To achieve a sustainable capability, organizations must make enterprise security the responsibility of leaders at a governance level, not of other organizational roles that lack the authority, accountability, and resources to act and enforce compliance. ”The Board of Directors (or organizational equivalent) is generally the authoritative policy-making body and responsible for overseeing the development, implementation, and maintenance of the information security program. The use of the term “oversee” is meant to convey the Board’s conventional supervisory role, leaving day-to-day responsibilities to management. Executive management should be tasked with providing support and resources for proper program development, administration, and maintenance as well as ensuring strategic alignment with organizational objectives.

"text": "Business & Finance Corporations Q: What Is the Function of a Steering Committee? A: Quick Answer The function of a steering committee is to provide support, advocacy and enablement for the projects which they oversee. A steering committee is not designed to actually manage or run a project, and should be kept from doing so. Rather, the steering committee should facilitate the project manager's ability to plan and direct a given project, giving advice and support along the way.

Credit: Portra Images Taxi Getty Images Full Answer Steering committees function best when the scope of their responsibilities and purposes are clearly defined. They often function as a decision-making body, determining the budgets, time lines and personnel for the projects they oversee. A steering committee should not be loaded up with members who are not needed; instead, every member on the committee should have a specific function tied to oversight, recording of decisions, budgeting or other specific skills needed depending on the project."

"text": "What Does the Steering Committee Do? Posted by: John Pelham in Project Management 12 January 2015 1 Comment Share this: Linked In Twitter Google Facebook More Although in practice the role of the Steering Committee is complex, two guiding principles by which it should function are simple: Give Strategic Direction Support the Project/Programme Manager Thus, a Steering Committee typically comprises senior managers who have a vested interest in the delivery and/or outcome of the project/programme. We take a look at both of those guiding principles in turn. Give Strategic Direction Normally, the members of a Steering Committee are selected because they are in such positions in an organisation that the ability and authority to make strategic decisions is a natural assumption, and this is usually the case. However, it must also be recognised that regardless of the make-up of the Steering Committee, or the position of its members in an organisation, it is not intended to be a “voting democracy”. In reality a Steering Committee often exists as a group of individuals who should share a common purpose but whose opinions and agendas may not always be aligned. It is therefore essential that chairing of the Committee should be vested in an individual with the actual authority and empowerment to make such decisions as may be necessary in the best interests of the organisation and the project/programme. Therefore, the chairing of the Steering Committee is most often vested in the Project/Programme Sponsor who should have been selected for those very qualities. This is of the greatest importance because from time-to-time the Sponsor as chair of the Steering Committee will be required to make decisions that run counter to the view of some (or even all) of the other Steering Committee members. On major projects and particularly programmes of interrelated projects, a Steering Committee will be faced with many significant decisions, most notably with regard to the application of organisational assets; for example, people, money, accommodation and other facilities."

"text": "Martin Cohen,Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USAABSTRACTThe impact of steering committees on project performance and their role in creating value from project management capabilities is not well understood. A case study analysis was chosen to analyze the configurations and specific functions of project steering committees. A measurement model for steering committee configurations was developed to enable further survey-based studies. One of the major insights resulting from the authors’ interviews with project managers and senior managers was that they perceived the existence of a project steering committee only when the context was defined and clarified. Furthermore, a large variety of committee involvements was identified, concluding that steering committees per se are very rare. On the project level, the cases clearly demonstrate that committees with project steering functions play an important role in the selection, initiation, definition, and control of projects. On the organizational level, they are important to implement and maintain project management standards. Finally, the results clearly indicate that steering committees directly support project success and are instrumental for attaining value from an organization's investments in its project management system. KEYWORDS: project performance; decision processes; configuration; business-unit committee; executive committee; steering committee INTRODUCTIONProject steering committees are acknowledged as important structural elements in project implementation, and are widely discussed in the practitioner literature (Englund & Bucero, 2006). However, a substantial literature search revealed a surprising research gap in this structural component of project management and does not yet reflect the importance steering committees might play in the building and sustaining of an organization's project management capability."

Black swans: This is a political science concept based on the fact that most swans are white, and black swans were thought not to exist at all. In actual fact, black swans do exist, but are very, very rare. The political phrase refers to Black Swan events as very rare events that are completely unexpected, yet they transform history as we know it and make history completely unpredictable. Don’t Count Chickens!So today, in the very unpredictable political climate that seems to change direction radically by the day during this 2016 Presidential election, we should not be concluding or forecasting anything at all until all the rare, unpredictable events have finished arriving. We should not count chickens when we are in the midst of a cygnet (baby swan) hatching explosion!So what should we do? Nothing? What should we do faced with one political shocker after another? Nothing?"

"text": "Colony Collapse Disorder Colony Collapse Disorder is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. Once thought to pose a major long term threat to bees, reported cases of CCD have declined substantially over the last five years. The number of hives that do not survive over the winter months – the overall indicator for bee health – has maintained an average of about 28.7 percent since 2006-2007 but dropped to 23.1 percent for the 2014-2015 winter. While winter losses remain somewhat high, the number of those losses attributed to CCD has dropped from roughly 60 percent of total hives lost in 2008 to 31.1 percent in 2013; in initial reports for 2014-2015 losses, CCD is not mentioned. Related Information Also see Pollinator Health Concerns On this page: Discovering a Problem Dead Bees Don't Necessarily Mean CCDWhy It's Happening What is Being Done What EPA is Doing For More Information Discovering a Problem During the winter of 2006-2007, some beekeepers began to report unusually high losses of 30-90 percent of their hives. As many as 50 percent of all affected colonies demonstrated symptoms inconsistent with any known causes of honey bee death: Sudden loss of a colony’s worker bee population with very few dead bees found near the colony. The queen and brood (young) remained, and the colonies had relatively abundant honey and pollen reserves. But hives cannot sustain themselves without worker bees and would eventually die. This combination of events resulting in the loss of a bee colony has been called Colony Collapse Disorder. Though agricultural records from more than a century ago note occasional bee “disappearances” and “dwindling” colonies in some years, it is uncertain whether the colonies had the same combination of factors associated with CCD."

However people continue to use it so there must be some positive effects of steroids. A reasoned approach then should look at both the pros and cons of these controversial substances and come to a decision that way as to whether they should be used. Before we can appreciate the positive effects of steroids we need to understand how they work. Essentially then, steroids are either natural of synthetic compounds that help regulate various bodily functions. When we refer to steroids however we generally are referring to anabolic steroids. These are synthetic compounds that mimic the effects of anabolic and androgenic hormones such as testosterone and are known by many names including ‘juice’ and ‘roids’ and someone who is using steroids can so be said to be ‘juicing’. Anabolic steroids can be taken orally as a pill or powder or commonly via an injection which has certain advantages for the user. This makes marks along an individual’s forearms a good indicator that they may be using steroids. This in turn means that the user will experience the effects of testosterone to a higher degree which accounts for both the positive effects of steroids and the negative."

"text": "Epidural Steroid Injections and Selective Nerve Root Blocks What are epidural steroid injections? An epidural steroid injection is a spinal procedure in which a steroid and usually an anesthetic are injected in the spinal region called the epidural space. The nerves, spinal fluid, and spinal cord are enclosed within a membrane sack called the dura. The injection is outside this membrane. It is useful to reduce inflammation from nerve roots or intervertebral discs. Decreasing the inflammation may decrease the pain originating from these structures. What are the different types of epidural steroid injections? Caudal: the injection is placed through a small opening (sacral canal) just above the tail bone. Interlaminar: the injection is usually midline and placed directly between two vertebrae (similar to the approach a woman undergoes during labor for epidural anesthesia). Transforaminal: the injection is placed in the foramina (opening) on the side of the spine near the exiting nerve."

The biggest issue is the lenient stance baseball authorities take regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs. Baseball legend Hank Aaron, Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig and Republican Senator John Mc Cain have all weighed in to try and get baseball to clean up its rather steroid-fuelled act. Their request is for tougher penalties to be meted out to players who illegally use drugs to boost their strength and power and get a competitive edge over their rivals. A Senate committee wants to standardize steroid policies in all professional sports, including the NFL, NBA and NHL. At the center of the debate is the baseball player’s union chief Donald Fehr. He is reluctant to move from the present 10-day ban for baseball players caught using steroids. Such a “penalty” would be laughable in any other sport and makes a mockery of baseball standards. Senator Jay Rockefeller singled out baseball players as the biggest violators of steroid abuse. He said: “They have negotiated reluctantly, if at all.”"

"text": "The Ups and Downs of Meds and Diabetes (Part 1): Steroids Published June 16, 2008 by Amy Campbell, MS, RD, LDN, CDE Print Text Size: A A AIf you take any kind of medication for your diabetes management, whether that be metformin, sulfonylureas, exenatide (brand name Byetta), or insulin, for example, hopefully you’re familiar with how that drug works and what the effect is on your blood glucose control. But, just like people who don’t have diabetes, you’re going to come down with a cold or the flu every now and then. Advertisement You may need to take steroids for a while. Maybe you take medicine for controlling your blood pressure or your cholesterol. How familiar are you with these drugs, particularly in terms of your blood glucose levels? Most of us are prescribed medicines for various reasons at one time or another. Unfortunately, we aren’t always told by our physician or pharmacist how they work and how they might interact with other medicines. And in the case of diabetes, chances are you’re not always given information on how a drug may affect your blood glucose level or how a it may interact with your diabetes medication—and many of them do. Your pharmacist should be your number one source for any questions you have about any drug that you take. But we can scratch the surface and take a look at this important area of diabetes management."

Or if they are consuming steroids they should not be allowed to play sports. When athletes use steroids they have the advantage of many things. For example, athletes have the advantage of doing better when doing their plays and/or when they are against there opponent. This is a disadvantage to the athletes that do not consume steroids. Let’s say that two athletes are competing, one does consume steroids and the other one doesn’t, who will win? It will more than likely be the athlete consuming steroids. This would be because the steroids are anabolic and make people stronger and energetic. An athlete on steroids is obviously going to be much faster than the one that does not. Steroid use should be avoided not also because it gives disadvantage to other athletes but also because they destroy the human body."

There are a few different types of topicals for eczema. The most common include prescription steroids in varying strengths, calcineurin inhibitors, and PDE4 inhibitors. Topical steroids One of the most commonly prescribed medications for all types of eczema is topical corticosteroids, or just “steroids,” which can ease redness and reduce inflammation and itching so that your skin can begin to heal. Steroids are naturally occurring substances that our bodies make in order to regulate growth and immune function. Corticosteroids have been used for more than 50 years in topical medications (applied to the skin) to treat many kinds of inflammatory skin conditions including eczema.

Tresca | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated February 21, 2018Share Pin Email Print PASIEKA / Getty Images If you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), your doctor may have prescribed steroids such as prednisone to decrease inflammation during a flare-up. The common side effects of steroids range from annoying to debilitating, but most of them will go away when the dosage is tapered down and discontinued. However, steroids can also contribute to the development of potentially serious and permanent effects, especially when they are taken in high dosages or for longer periods of time. One of these conditions is steroid-induced osteoporosis. It's well-known that steroids can contribute to bone loss. For those that are taking steroids, asking a doctor about osteoporosis and having periodic testing are important things that can help catch any bone loss early. What Is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones, which causes them to lose their density and become brittle and more susceptible to fracture. It is largely thought of as a disease of post-menopausal women, which is true in part, but it can happen to men or women of any age who are at risk. Some of the risk factors include: Age (over 65)Being of Caucasian or Asian descent Family history of osteoporosis Thin/small build (less than 154 lbs)Previous fracture Use of certain medications (including steroids and thyroid hormones)Early menopause Inadequate calcium intake; inadequate vitamin intake High-protein diets Sedentary lifestyle Smoking Alcohol abuse Parathyroid disease Steroid-Induced Osteoporosis While steroids do decrease inflammation, they also decrease the formation of new bone, increase the breakdown of old bone, and decrease the absorption of calcium from food by the body."

"text": "\"Steroid cream is a topical cream which is blended with steroids to treat skin problems. These creams are used to treat a variety of conditions, and they are available in both prescription and over the counter versions. Most commonly, steroid cream is recommended to treat a skin condition like eczema or a rash, with the steroids targeting the problem directly, as opposed to oral steroids, which must work their way through the body to the site. The strength of a steroid cream depends both on the concentration of steroids used, and on the carrier oils used in the cream. Some oils encourage absorption, leading the skin to take up most of the steroids in the cream, while others may be less effective, causing the steroids to rub off, rather than entering the site. There are also several different types of steroids which can be used in a topical steroid to address specific issues. Like other steroid products, steroid creams are meant for short term use, to address a specific problem. Steroids have a number of side effects, especially if used for an extensive period of time, and topical creams containing steroids can cause things like skin thinning, stretch marks, and discoloration. If a skin condition does not respond to steroids, the situation needs to be re-evaluated to determine the best course of action. Some studies have also linked a high use of steroid cream and steroids in general to cancer."

"text": "Stink Bug Facts Here is a list of the most important stink bug facts you should be aware about. What do Stink Bugs Eat? Stink bugs are basically herbivorous. They have sucking and piercing mouthparts, which they use while feeding on a number of fruits and crops. They suck juice from fruits and cause significant damage to the plants. Their major hosts are birch, serviceberry, catalpa, butterfly bush, pecan, redbud, hackberry, pepper, dogwood, citrus, cucumber, tomato, sunflower, apple, pear, plum, and grape. They render damage to the plants in multiple ways: create necrotic areas on the surface of fruits, injure seeds, or even transfer plant-pathogens. Some Asian stink bugs also hunt beetle larvae or caterpillars thus curbing devastative pests and proving beneficial for the plants. This is all about their eating habits in summer season; since they do not generate their heat on their own, they have to rely on external surroundings to keep themselves warm. Therefore, they remain hibernate in cold seasons."

"text": "\"Organic Lawn Care FAQcaptaincompostal (z7 AL Bham) January 1, 2013How do I prepare the soil for an organic turf program? The key to a successful organic lawn program is the soil. It must be alive with wide variety of beneficial microorganisms and bugs. Beneficial microbes both feed and protect the plants from disease-causing microbes. All the organic gardener does is feed the beneficial microbes and let them do their work. Beneficial microorganisms include bacteria and fungi found in finished compost. There are two ways to get the microbial benefit from compost. The best way to get a complete dose of beneficial microbes is by including finished compost in the soil preparation before laying seed or sod. Preparing the ground right beforehand is preferred to applying after the grass is established. Plans for a new lawn should specify that compost be mixed with the top 4 inches of topsoil, half-and half, when the land is renovated for grass seed or sod planting."

It also becomes a nuisance pest of homes as it is attracted to the outside of houses on warm fall days in search of protected, overwintering sites and can enter houses in large numbers. Distribution Brown marmorated stink bug (Fig. 1) was accidentally introduced from east Asia (China, Japan, Korean) into eastern Pennsylvania and was first collected in Allentown in 1998, although it probably arrived several years earlier. It has since spread throughout most of eastern and western of North America and will likely be found continent wide within a few years (Fig. 2). Figure 1. Adult brown marmorated stink bug. Figure 2."

"text": "Palmetto bug is a common name used to describe almost any large cockroach, but it's most properly used for the Florida woods cockroach. This insect, which lives in Florida and nearby coastal areas, is one of the largest species found in North America and is reddish-brown to black with very small wings. They do not fly often or well and are slow and clumsy runners. Their usual defense is an unpleasant chemical spray that has earned them alternate names like Florida stink roach and skunk roach. This species is not a significant household pest, preferring outdoor living conditions. Identification The scientific name for the palmetto bug is Eurycotis floridana. It is often confused with the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, and many people use the name for either species. Both types are large, growing up to about 2 inches (about 5 cm) and are superficially similar. One way to distinguish them is to observe how the insects in question move, as the American cockroach is a proficient flier and runs much more quickly than the Florida woods cockroach. American cockroaches are also found in large numbers in buildings while palmetto bugs prefer outdoor conditions."

By Valerie Sudol/For The Star-Ledger If you live in stink bug country, you may have noticed that you’re not home alone anymore. Clinging to your screens, creeping up your walls, hiding in your lamp shades and nestling in your laundry basket are the latest home invaders of the buggy sort. The brown marmorated stink bug is on the move, sneaking its way into your house, if not your heart, as it seeks a warm and cozy place to spend the winter. This prehistoric-looking bug, shield-shaped and dressed in dull brown, is appearing in large numbers this season in many parts of the state, making strong men recoil and little children shriek. We women, of a more practical bent, plot their demise or just threaten to pack our bags and leave. Where did they come from and what are they up to? The stink bugs in question are Chinese imports, first reported around Allentown, Pa., in 1996. They probably arrived in packing material with shipped goods — isn’t everything we buy these days made in China? Since touching down in America, the Asian stink bug has made remarkable progress for an insect that can take half an afternoon to make its way across your living room."

"text": "Stink Bugs Several kinds of stink bugs exist naturally in the U. S. but a new species arrived recently, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB). It has become a problem for farmers and homeowners alike. The BMSB came from Asia in the 1990s and, since then, has hitched rides to many states. The adults emerge in spring and feed on plants, causing damage and spreading diseases to fruit, vegetable and other plants. Offspring produced during the summer often seek shelter as temperatures drop in the fall, causing severe infestations in homes and businesses. Control tips: Stink bugs do not do any structural damage to homes and they do not sting or bite. Stink bugs release foul smelling chemicals to avoid predators. They also give off other chemicals to attract other stink bugs. When a BMSB finds a suitable winter shelter, it secrets a chemical odor that attracts other stink bugs. Killing a stink bug does not attract more stink bugs."

"text": "Growing tomatoes at home can be a great way to save a little money on groceries while providing a nutritious and versatile item for your diet. Plus, homegrown tomatoes taste great. Yet it is more difficult to grown one's own tomatoes than to purchase them from a store. One common problem is white spots seen on the fruit, under the skin or inside the tomato. These may come from various sources. Under the Skin Small, cloudy white spots just under the skin of a tomato are caused by stink bugs biting the fruit. In general these spots are cosmetic and the fruit is still good to eat, although it will spoil faster after picking. There are insecticides, organic and otherwise, that can deal with stink bugs. Another solution is to patrol the garden each day with a hand-held vacuum and get rid of the stink bugs one by one. Since stink bugs are attracted to the fruits which ripen first, it's possible to use a different crop of tomatoes to keep the bugs away from the main batch, or to lure the bugs away with a patch of ornamental millet grown somewhere away from the tomatoes."

They get their common name from the odor of the chemical that they produce in glands on their abdomen. Scientists suspect this odor might be a defense against predators. Depending on the species, adults can reach almost 2 cm in length. Their bodies are almost as wide as they are long. Adult stink bugs can fly fairly well. They keep their wings folded over their backs when they land. Their long legs extend from the sides of their body."

"text": "\"Your guide Gregory Han After spending almost 42 hours comparing nearly two dozen plastic storage bins, interviewing a panel of professionally recognized organization experts, and testing 10 finalists by stuffing them, dropping them, soaking them, and hauling them around full of books, we chose the Sterilite 30 Quart Ultra Latching Storage Box ($6 per unit, sold as a $37 six-pack) as the general storage container we’d recommend for most people. About as big as a large toaster oven (or a small aquarium), this bin offers a comfortable balance of ergonomics, security, durability and, most of all, affordability. This is not the biggest or toughest bin we tested—we have picks for those too, if that’s what you need. But when you consider the excellent price you’ll pay for six of them, we believe this is the best choice for most everyday storage duties. In fact, this bin’s performance is comparable to the best products on the market, but you’ll pay a fraction of what you would for the others. Our pick Sterilite 30 Quart Ultra Latching Storage Box For a quality bin at a great price, this is it—the lid held shut, the sides didn’t crack, and it stayed dry when soaked with water. As long as it’s big enough for your stuff, a set of these inexpensive bins are good enough to stack in the basement, attic, or closet.$50 * from Amazon (Pack of six)*At the time of publishing, the price was $37. Most other bins you can get for about $6 each are flimsy or leaky, but this see-through bin survived the drop test without a crack and stayed dry even when being sprayed and submerged in water, and deep hand grips made the size (18.13 by 11.5 by 12.25 inches) easy to carry, even when loaded with 14 hardback books. The sides aren’t the stiffest and the latches aren’t the toughest—but they lock to hold the lid on tight while lifting, shaking, stuffing, and dropping the bin. There were some slightly bigger, better, pricier items in our test, but we decided that a plastic storage bin is a product most people want to get in high quantity, at a low cost, with a level of quality that’s good enough to survive a move or endure long-term storage."

"text": "Shipping Container Costs One of the biggest appeals of ship container homes is the cost. Shipping crate homes can cost up to 50% less than traditional construction, and when building storage container houses the cost of the containers is going to be one of the largest material expenses, if not the largest. How much does a Shipping Container Cost? Shipping container cost depends on several variables. Market conditions, location, age of the steel container and its condition are all key. There isn’t a definitive price structure as you would find for retail products at a Target or Sears, but guidelines are available. Your location will be a main factor in estimating shipping container prices. If you live in a rural area far from major train depots, shipping yards and the like, container shipping costs can significantly run up your out of pocket. An option for those not close to transport hubs is to go directly to shipping container companies and arrange transport through them. Shipping Container Prices Shipping container prices are contingent on a number of factors, and with shipping containers prices can vary significantly depending on your location."

You may think it is a harmless derivative of lemons, and that used to be so. Today’s citric acid is a whole different story. Here’s what you need to know about this pervasive ingredient. Among the peculiar names that you will find on ingredient lists at the grocery store is citric acid . It’s a flavoring, a preservative and is used to preserve the texture of some foods. Of all the unpronounceable names you are likely to find on processed food ingredient lists, citric acid may seem the most reasonable, as it invokes the image of a real thing—citric acid deriving from, well, a citrus fruit. So, what’s the big deal? What is Citric Acid? Citric acid is an organic acid that is a component of all aerobic living organisms — most abundantly, and not surprisingly, in citrus fruit."

Introduction. Two major groups of regulations issued by Federal and State agencies affect the disposal and storage of chemicals by academic laboratories. OSHA, in both Federal and State incarnations, propounds regulations intended to ensure worker safety in laboratories. The US EPA and Maine DEP regulate laboratory practices that have the potential for harm to the environment. These two sets of agencies, with two different purposes, sometimes produce regulations that seem to conflict. However, both sets of rules specify the conditions under which chemicals can be kept, the information that must be available to users of the chemicals, and what chemicals can be disposed of in what ways. Without spelling out the rules in detail, we will try here to provide some general information about what one can and can't do, including good practice for the storage of chemicals. The information here is directed specifically to chemistry programs, and does not include janitorial, secretarial, and other areas. B. Basic Legal Requirements.

Water is extremely important (humans are made up of at least 70% water) and going without can cause death in a matter of days. If you don’t want to buy your water from a store, learn here how to treat tap water for long term survival situations. Preparing Tap Water for Long Term Storage Every prepper should have some professionally manufactured water bottles stored away. You never know when you might have to grab these and leave in a hurry (small water bottles are extremely portable). However, it is not very practical to store enough small water bottles to supply you and your family with the water you need to survive a long term disaster that could cause a disruption with basic utilities. Bottled water can also cost a considerable amount if you are attempting to store enough to last a year or more. Tap water isn’t free, but it’s definitely the cheapest water you can probably get your hands on. That’s why most preppers will store large quantities of tap water in large containers. Here I will discuss some of what’s involved in putting away your own tap water for the long term."

While I will discuss both artisanal or traditional and industrial or large scale ice cream manufacture, the main emphasis will be on artisanal production.

For those already immersed in technology, losing the drive is an obvious move. Digital can be just as convenient and allows for thinner, lighter computers. However, many people still rely on discs for software and media, and, if you’re among their number, ditching the disc can be intimidating.

I always purchase my flours in large quantities at one time, in an attempt to be frugal. However, from time to time, I realize that perhaps this is not a good idea, because when I do not bake for a few weeks, I always wonder: \"\"Is my flour still fresh?\"\". Flour that is not stored properly or allowed to get too old, can go stale or rancid, potentially ruining a recipe. I have researched the topic of storing flour, and here follow my conclusions, and tips, regarding flour storage. Be sure to scroll down too, and check out the storage bins for storing large amounts of flour - you know, those BIG bags of flour that are more cost effective to buy, but when you get home you wonder, \"\"how will I store this much flour?\"\". STORING BASIC FLOURSBasic flours, (for example: all-purpose flour, cake and pastry flour, and bread flour ), are usually more stable for storage than whole grain or alternative flours. Before grinding, the basic flours are stripped of the bran and the germ, leaving only the endosperm to be processed. The stripping (and sometimes \"\"bleaching\"\", or \"\"oxidizing\"\") gives the flour its creamy or white colour. Basic flours can be stored in an air-tight container or a sealed, plastic bag."

The 40ft Standard container is 8ft 6 in high on the exterior which corresponds to a 7ft 10in height on the interior. A 40ft Standard container has 2,350 cu ft of storage space on the interior, whereas the 40ft High Cube container has 2,694 cu ft of storage space. This additional height gives the 40ft High Cube container an extra 344 cu ft of storage capacity. All the other specifications remain the same in terms of the width and length.

You’ll have to rush out and put in whatever is available, without taking the time to look for a water heater that best fits your needs and offers real energy efficiency. A much better approach is to do some research now. Explore the options and decide what type of water heater you want — gas or electric, storage or demand, stand-alone or integrated with your heating system, etc. Figure out the proper size for your household, not just in terms of gallon capacity, but first-hour rating as well.

For instance, if you fail to fog the cylinders with fogging oil, then rust may appear, whereas failing to flush the cooling system or even drain the gear oil case may lead to trapped water, which, when frozen, can expand and damage the expensive housing unit. Boating Magazine claims if you fail to drain the gear-case lubricant, for instance, it could lead to a $2,000 to 6,000 repair.“ Marina Vallarta ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Andrew Milligan Sumo How much does it cost to winterize a boat? The cost of winterizing a boat will depend on the professional you choose, the type of boat you have, the type of engine you have, the inclusions in the winterization and your geographical location. From our research, as long as your boat was less than 40-feet, the costs tend to be in the $400 to $700 range for a basic winterization and often did not include any additional storage or shrink wrapping. This seems to be the average price whether you hire a private mechanic, dealer or marina. We were able to find multiple quotes people paid online and included our findings in the table below along with the source of the information: Prices sourced online...$450 for \"\"full\"\" winterization including oil change, outdrive lube replacement, etc. SOURCE$450~ quote for engine/drive/fresh water/toilet/AC systems including oil changes SOURCE$400 for advertised deal for ONLY labor. Needed to add the fluids, oil, filter and antifreeze SOURCE$680 for shrink wrap, fuel stabilizer and fogging oil SOURCE$560 for winterization and another $100 for the travel costs SOURCE$550 in Delaware for shrink wrap, mildew bags, oil change and stabilizer SOURCE$611 including winterizing the motor and heater, an oil change, impeller replacement and cleaning SOURCE$280 for oil change and winterization for 90HP Mercury 4 stroke SOURCEThayers Marine, for instance, lists the prices they charge on its official website."

When rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in California, the contents can be sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in the form of a cash-only auction. The show follows professional buyers who visit storage facilities throughout the state and bid on these lockers. Before each locker is auctioned, the buyers are given five minutes to inspect the contents from the doorway, but may not enter the locker or touch any of the items. After the day's auctions are completed, the winning bidders sort through the lockers, estimating the prices they will set on the contents and/or consulting with experts for an appraisal of unusual items. Running totals on-screen display the cost versus estimated total value, and a final tally at the end of the episode summarizes the buyers' net profit or loss.

But now we’re using multiple devices—often interchangeably—and we’re trusting our data to the cloud. What’s a security company to do? For Mc Afee, the answer is a security suite that offers protection for every aspect of your digital life. Live Safe isn’t just an antivirus program—it’s comprehensive digital security for your cloud files, your passwords, and your many, many devices. Installation Live Safe ($80 for a one-year subscription, $20 if purchased with an Intel Ultrabook) comes as a small plastic card with a product key. The key lets you download and install the program on as many computers, tablets, and phones as you like (Mc Afee tells me there is no limit, though the company does reserve the right to investigate suspicious activity). Live Safe is compatible with most platforms, including Windows PCs; Macs; and Android, i OS, and Black Berry devices. It’s not yet available for Chromebooks or Windows Phones, but that may change in the future as the market shifts. The only hitch I ran into—and it was a pretty big one—was trying to install the program on computers that already had an antivirus program installed: a desktop running Windows Vista with Norton 360, and a laptop running Windows 8 with a 60-day trial version of Norton Internet Security."

Deeper Insights Overcoming Implementation Challenges for High-Throughput Workflows Many cold cases have been re-opened in hopes that DNA profiling of evidentiary material may strengthen a case against an existing but weak suspect or identify new leads and new suspects. “ Cold hits” are made when nuclear DNA (STR) profiles of semen, blood, or saliva crime scene samples are linked to convicted felon DNA profiles that are stored in the national DNA database (CODIS). A lesser-known form of DNA testing, however, also is being used for cold case investigation. In the 1990s, mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) analysis was introduced for samples unsatisfactory for STR profiling. The earliest use of mt DNA analysis was for the identification of human skeletal remains that contained insufficient or degraded nuclear DNA, but sufficient mitochondrial DNA to aid in matching an individual to his or her maternal relatives. Since 1993, the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory in Rockville, Maryland, has been using mitochondrial DNA to return the skeletal remains of military dead to their families. Identification of missing persons is also aided by this technology. DNA can be difficult to recover from very small or environmentally challenged samples. While nuclear DNA is present in only two copies per cell, the small circular mitochondrial DNA molecule (Figure 1) is present in hundreds to thousands of copies per cell and is therefore a naturally abundant DNA molecule."

It was a regionalized spin-off of the highly-popular series Storage Wars. As of the latter portion of Season 3, the show featured auctioneer Walt Cade, as well as auction hunters Victor Rjesnjansky, Ricky and Bubba Smith, Jenny Grumbles, and Mary Padian, with other buyers being included on some episodes, notably Lesa Lewis and her assistant Jerry Simpson (who were regulars on Season 1). The premise was essentially the same as the parent show: when rent is not paid on a storage locker in Texas, [2] the contents are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items. The show follows professional buyers who bid on the contents (usually for the purpose of reselling for profit should they purchase a locker) based only on a five-minute inspection and what they can see only from the door when it is opened. The episodes feature the winning buyers inspecting the contents (providing their estimate of their value), with one specific (and often unusual) item from each buyer featured being appraised to determine its worth. Sixteen episodes were filmed for the first season, debuting on A&E on Tuesday December 6, 2011. [ 3] The premiere episode garnered 4.1 million viewers, making it the most watched series launch in the network's history. ["

Asking how much a dispatch console or dispatch workstation costs is a great question, but there is no simple answer. Let's use a car analogy to help better understand the complexities of the question. The purchase of dispatch furniture is similar to purchasing a car.

Public storage, also known as self storage, allows you to store your belongings outside of your home or apartment. Its very convenient, especially for those with limited space in their places. However, it can come at a stiff price. Self storage costs range widely based on your location, space needed, and any amenities. You can check out our storage cost calculator and get an estimate, but here are the basics: How to Pay for Storage You rent storage space, meaning you pay based on the amount of time you use it. The contract you sign is essentially a lease, meaning you will agree to pay to use a storage unit for a specified amount of time. The most common storage leases use monthly or yearly payments. Unless you can front thousands of dollars, expect another monthly bill."

While your education and experience may make you eligible to apply for a job, to be successful in the role you will need to exhibit a mix of skills: ‘employability skills’. This means that the specialist, technical skills associated with different roles may be less important than the ' soft skills ' that can be transferred between different jobs and different employment sectors. For employers, getting the right people means identifying people with the right skills and qualities to fulfil the role and contribute to the organisation's success. Candidates may have the qualifications and 'hard skills' needed to be able to manage the job role but, without a well-honed set of 'soft skills', employers are less inclined to hire. What are Employability Skills?"

"text": "If you’ve got a head for numbers, an aptitude for technology, and nerves of steel, the financial analyst role could be a great fit for you. From required skills to career paths, we’ve got the financial analyst job description covered. Financial analysts evaluate, interpret and report on huge volumes of complex financial data—from company reports to global economic trends—in order to forecast business and investment performance. Armed with their analysis and revenue projections, they advise executive leaders on strategic decisions and investments. Analysts spend their days crunching numbers and historical financial data; preparing reports gleaned from this analysis; exploring investment opportunities; identifying national and global trends in the financial markets; making recommendations for improved performance; and creating and sharing financial models and business forecasts. Analysts tend to specialize in a particular industry, region or product. For example, one analyst might cultivate expertise in the IT field, while another focuses on the aerospace industry. Another analyst in a firm might become expert in the Middle East, while her colleague specializes in India’s emerging markets. It’s a complex field. Beyond the ability to synthesize data and communicate it clearly, analysts must have a thorough grounding in the broader legal, economic and political landscape that shapes business fortunes."

"text": "\"By Kate Beatty Strategic leadership doesn't come easily in most organizations. Statistics show that fewer than 10% of leaders exhibit strategic skills, a woefully inadequate number considering the demands on organizations today. Strategic skills aren't needed only in times of growth. During tough times, when resources are tight, it is even more important to ensure those resources are focused in the right areas. Leaders throughout organizations face tremendous pressures to make short-term numbers and show immediate wins. Operational leadership rules the day. This can lead to a lack of focus--as one executive recently put it, \"\"We're running fast in many different directions.\"\" Additionally, leaders who excel at meeting short-term targets and solving functional problems may feel paralyzed and unsure when the challenges in front of them are far reaching and complex--a situation we've seen consistently in these recession years. How do we lead in ways that position a business for the future while meeting current demands? It does require a different set of skills from operational leadership."

"text": "Human Resources Management Career Info The 3 New Roles of the Human Resources Professional Traditional HR Is Transformed and Added Three Critical Roles to Its Functions Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Susan M. Heathfield Updated August 08, 2017Some industry commentators call the Human Resources function the last bastion of bureaucracy. Traditionally, the role of the Human Resource professional in many organizations has been to serve as the systematizing, policing arm of executive management. Their role was more closely aligned with personnel and administration functions that were viewed by the organization as paperwork. This is because the initial HR functions needed, in many companies, came out of the administration or finance department areas. Because hiring employees, paying employees, and dealing with benefits were the organization's first HR needs, bringing in finance or administration staff as HR staff is not surprising. Administrative Functions and Executive Agendas In this role, the HR professional served executive agendas well but was frequently viewed as a road block by much of the rest of the organization. Some need for this role remains—you wouldn’t want every manager putting his own spin on a sexual harassment policy, for example. Nor can every manager interpret and implement the employee handbook as she chooses. Payroll and benefits need administration, even if they are now electronically handled. The administrative functions of the HR department continue to need management and implementation."

"text": "\"The word strategy derives form the Greek word strategos which translates to the art of the general. This is often confused with tactics, from the Greek taktike. Taktike translates as organizing the army. In modern usage, strategy and tactics might refer not only to warfare, but to a variety of business practices. Essentially, strategy is the thinking aspect of planning a change, organizing something, or planning a war. It lays out the goals that need to be accomplished and the ideas for achieving those goals. Strategy can be complex multi-layered plans for accomplishing objectives and may give consideration to tactics. Tactics are the meat and bread of the strategy. They are the “doing” aspect that follows the planning. Tactics refer specifically to action."

No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent — in every realm and situation of your life — good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, engenders frustration and pain. Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to “figure out the lay of the land” in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices. What is really going on in this or that situation? Are they trying to take advantage of me?"

"text": "The Difference Between Strategic and Tactical Planning By R. Khera - February 25, 2009The reason for this confusion stems from the fact that both words are closely connected. In business parlance, the words strategy and tactics refer to various business practices. In business usage, the term strategy is the thinking process required to plan a change or to organize something. It defines the goals desired and how to achieve them. It can be a compendium of complex multi-layered plans devised for achieving preset objectives and may include tactical planning considerations. Tactics and Strategy – The Correlation Tactics are the substance of strategy. They comprise what is done pursuant to strategic planning. The strategic phase of business planning has thinkers (you- the small business owner) determining ways to achieve stated goals. Simply stated, they plan how people need to act in order to attain the objectives for which the strategy is to be used. Tactics, on the other hand, are the very actions that are necessary to carry out the strategy."

"text": "\"\"\"Business Analysis is the task of understanding business change needs, assessing the business impact of those changes, capturing, analysing and documenting requirements and supporting the communication and delivery of requirements with relevant stakeholders. \"\" If you had a plot of land and wanted to build a house, we hope that you would first engage the services of an architect. The architect would ask you questions – what is your budget, what style of house, how many bedrooms, how much parking or garage space you need, etc. The architect would then draw up plans which they would agree with you before approaching builders to understand the cost of building the house. Once the build was underway the architect would monitor the build to make sure the house was built according to your needs. Occasionally problems might arise requiring the plans to be revised, or, you might want to make some modifications to the plans which would need to be agreed with the builder. Being a business analyst is a bit like being an architect but instead of building a house, we are developing or updating a computer system. A business analyst takes responsibility for talking to the business users of the computer system to understand their needs. Instead of producing plans, the business analyst produces 'requirements' which clearly state the business needs and align with business processes. The requirements are then used by the IT team or an external supplier to build or modify the system."

March 17, 2011They say that there are two types of people – the ‘big picture people’ and the ‘details people.’ The big picture people tend to be creative, strategic, and visionary… but they can also be messy, disorganized, and forgetful. On the other hand, the details people are conscientious, planful, and exacting… but can lack perspective or fail to prioritize. These two types tend to complement each other and work together very well. You’ll often find this division in partnerships and many times the CEO is a big picture person while the COO and the CFO are the details people. But what if your role requires both strategic thinking and attention to detail? Most people are naturally more skilled at one or the other, and there are a lucky few who do both equally well. Whether you have good attention to detail or whether you can see the big picture easily and clearly is generally part of your personality.

There’s a theme that’s surfaced in response to my strategy crisis post that I think is particularly toxic. That’s this: thinking differently about strategy is impossible – or, perhaps worse, that it’s naïve. Let’s take a second to explore. Strategy isn’t written in stone. Rather strategy is built upon a given set of economics – at the simplest level, a set of payoffs. Today’s economics are in shock – numerous shocks are rolling across the global economic landscape. As economics changes, so must strategy. What was “strategic” yesterday is less and less strategic today. And that requires us to have strategic imagination: to be able to imagine fundamentally new possibilities for truly strategic behaviour. Now, that’s hard work."

Distinguishing characteristics include an irregularly round, silvery body, dark bluish green back and dark longitudinal stripes on the sides, and a small mouth. Life History The striped mullet's diet includes zooplankton, benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms and detritus (dead plants and animals), and small invertebrates. Larger fish, turtles, water snakes, and wading birds prey on mullet. They reach sexual maturity in three years. Mating season lasts from late October to December for Texas species. Mature adults leave the bays, collect in large schools, and migrate offshore to mate. During spawning season, females scatter one to seven million round eggs on the bottom."

Not only it is all business in the front and a party in the back, but honestly, if you were alive in the eighties, you probably had one of these hairstyles. In this day and age, there are so many different hairstyles available, it is no wonder that time is repeating itself and the hairstyle is slowly but surely coming back into style. Kevin Federline with cornrows mullet hairstyle. The mullet is one of those hairstyles that are definitely popular in the southern states, but it has made its way to Hollywood as well. Britney Spears was actually married to a man with a mullet and while she and Kevin are no longer together, he is just one of the many celebrities that have picked up on the hairstyle and are sporting it everywhere!What a lot of people do not know about the mullet is that it is not just its catch phrase of ‘ business in the front and party in the back ‘; it is actually a very conservative hairstyle and certainly one that looks great on anyone. Usually, with this style, the sides are cropped very close and the back is left long while the top of the head has quite a bit of shorter hair on it. The back is mainly where you are going to do all of your styling for this haircut. The possibilities are completely and totally endless when it comes to this incredible hairstyle, you can do everything from just a simple ponytail all the way to a rattail in the back. One of the more popular haircuts for the back of a mullet is going to be the ponytail."

You need a free* resident shoreline license, which can be obtained online from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. No license is needed if you are under 16 or over 65 with an ID showing proof of age. Nonresidents must purchase a 3-day, 7-day or annual nonresident saltwater fishing license when saltwater fishing from the shore or a pier, bridge or jetty attached to the shore unless fishing on a pier with a pier license."

"text": "SMS Home › IRLSI Home › The IRL › IRL Habitats › Oyster Reefs ›Indian River Lagoon Species Inventory Oyster Reef Habitats Oyster reefs, often referred to as oyster bars, are common submerged habitats in the southern United States. Oyster reefs in Florida are found in nearshore areas and estuaries of both coasts, but grow especially vigorously near estuarine river mouths where waters are brackish and less than 10 meters deep. For example, the Apalachicola River in northern Florida is a particularly productive area for oysters, and supplies over 90% of the state's annual oyster catch. Within the Indian River Lagoon, oyster reefs may be found in the vicinity of spoil islands and impounded areas. In addition to being commercially valuable, oyster reefs serve a number of important ecological roles in coastal systems: providing important habitat for a large number of species; improving water quality; stabilizing bottom areas, and influencing water circulation patterns within estuaries. Oyster reefs are built primarily by the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, through successive reproduction and settlement of larvae onto existing reef structure. Oysters in Florida spawn from late spring through the fall. The planktonic larvae that develop require a hard substratum to settle upon in order to complete development to the juvenile stage, and prefer to settle on the shells of other oysters. Thus, over time, continued settlement and subsequent growth of generations of oysters may form massive reef structures consisting of staggering numbers of individuals. Luntz (1960), estimated that 5,895 oysters, the equivalent of 45 bushels, occurred within a single square yard of oyster reef."

The Lesser Amberjack is found near and offshore in depths of commonly 180 to 400 feet. Usual size is up to 10lbs in weight. Fish seldom reaches a size greater than 12 inches. The Greater Amberjack is found inshore in waters less than 30 feet deep usually amongst floating objects. Usual size for this fish inshore is from 3kg to 7kg. Offshore this species is found in rocky reefs and wrecks typically in water from 60 to 240 feet and the most common size is form 7kg to 27kg. It is characterized by its overall amber-colored, massive body that is lighter on the undersides, a long snout, long anal and dorsal fins, and the very distinctive dark “bandit” stripe running diagonally through its eye obliquely to the front of its dorsal fin, which fades into a black background after death and significantly diminished with the age of the fish. The Amberjack are regarded as great fighting fish which will often offer long hard fights to bring them in. They are known to go for long runs and strip line out when first hooked."

Photograph: Felicity Cloake/Guardian I t is customary to begin a piece on taramasalata by lamenting “the enormous damage” done to its reputation by “the sweet, artificially coloured gloop sold under that name in supermarkets”, as the River Cottage Fish Book has it. But I just can’t bring myself to lie. Apart from a very brief break at about the age of seven, when I discovered what went into the “lurid pink paste sold in plastic tubs”, as Belinda Harley puts it in her book Roast Lamb in the Olive Groves, I’ve been a lifelong devotee of the pungently savoury, vaguely fishy pink stuff. Fancy deli or corner shop, served with toasted pitta or Pringles, I love it all. But there is room in my heart for the more authentic kind too, the sort you might actually eat in Greece – which is harder to come by in this country. Unless you make your own, of course.

Found statewide, largemouth bass have excellent growth rates, particularly in the productive waters of central Florida. Historically known for huge bass, Florida remains an outstanding destination to catch a trophy. Spring is the best time of year to catch bass, when fish move into shallow water to spawn. Spawning may occur as early as January in extreme south Florida and as late as May in the panhandle, but March and April are peak months. Most large bass are taken at this time; after spawning, many large females move to offshore areas. The best live bait is a golden shiner, fished under a float or free-lined. Typically, the shiner is hooked through the lips or back with a large hook, 2/0 to 5/0. A medium to medium-heavy rod with 14- to 20-pound test line is preferred, particularly when fishing in areas with thick vegetation or cover. The plastic worm is the most dependable artificial bait for largemouth bass."

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

"text": "\"The Official and Unofficial National Flags of the Confederate States The first official national flag of the Confederacy, called the \"\"Stars and Bars,\"\" (left), was first flown on March 4, 1861. Inspired by Austria's national flag, it was designed by Prussian artist Nicola Marschall in Marion, Alabama. The Stars and Bars flag was adopted March 4, 1861 in Montgomery, Alabama and raised over the dome of that first Confederate Capitol. Marschall also designed the Confederate Army uniform. One of the first acts of the Provisional Confederate Congress was to create the Committee on the Flag and Seal, chaired by William Porcher Miles of South Carolina. The committee asked the public to submit thoughts and ideas on the topic and was, as historian John M. Coski puts it, \"\"overwhelmed by requests not to abandon the 'old flag' of the United States.\"\" Miles had already designed a flag that would later become the Confederate battle flag, and he favored his flag over the \"\"Stars and Bars\"\" proposal. But given the popular support for a flag similar to the U. S. flag (\"\"the Stars and Stripes\"\"), the Stars and Bars design was approved by the committee. When war broke out, the Stars and Bars caused confusion on the battlefield because of its similarity to the U. S. flag of the U. S. Army (as well as some Confederate units which still wore dark blue coats early in the war prior to the adoption of gray uniforms). Eventually, a total of 13 stars would be shown on the flag, reflecting the Confederacy's recognition that Kentucky and Missouri seceded from the Old Republic and joined the Confederacy."

"text": "\"Once the waters warm up, about mid-July, Striped Bass arrive in great numbers thanks to all the Marine Fisheries work! Presented here is general information of Striped Bass, its reproduction, habitat, food, fishing season, angling tips, handling and cooking. General information: The striped bass is a schooling species, moving about in small groups during the first two years of life and thereafter feeding and migrating in large schools. Seven or eight narrow stripes extending lengthwise from back of the head to the base of the tail form the most easily recognized characteristic of this species, hence the old Indian and colonial name of \"\"linesider\"\". Striped bass can live up to 40 years and can reach weights greater than 100 pounds, although individuals larger than 50 pounds are rare. Females reach significantly greater sizes than do males; most stripers over 30 pounds are female. Thus, the term \"\"bulls,\"\" originally coined to describe extremely large individuals, has been more accurately changed to \"\"cows\"\" in recent times. Reproduction: Striped bass reproduce in rivers and brackish areas of estuaries. Spawning occurs from the spring to early summer, with the greatest activity occurring when the water warms to about 65 degrees F. The eggs drift in currents until they hatch 1 1/2 to 3 days after being fertilized. The major spawning activity for the entire East Coast occurs in the Hudson River, the Chesapeake Bay and the Roanoke River - Albermarle Sound watershed."

Here’s where you can test out the theory. By Gene Hornbeck The wiper — well on its way to making its mark as one of the top game fish in the central United States — is a product of man’s manipulation of fish species among the temperate bass that scientists refer to as the family Percichthyida. What that bit of ichthyological lore means is that fisheries scientists took a small member of that family — the white bass — and crossed it with a giant member — the saltwater striped bass. The experiment worked so well that today we are finding wipers, some weighing over 20 pounds, being taken from scores of reservoirs across “middle” America. Nebraska is one of the states in which the hybrid has proved not only popular with anglers, but also a good tool in controlling the population of large shad in its reservoirs. That info comes from Daryl Bauer, reservoir and lakes program manager for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in Lincoln. “The wiper was introduced in Nebraska in 1979 in Bluestem Lake, not far from Lincoln,” said Bauer, “and since then the program has been expanded to 23 reservoirs. The larger wipers serve as a great management tool for getting some use out of adult gizzard shad — fish too large for most other game fish to prey on. “To further explain: We do not want a shad population dominated by large, adult fish."

"text": "Know the Difference: White Bass and Hybrid Striper Release Date: 11/29/2011 (Nov. 29, 2011) – Many anglers have a difficult time distinguishing the differences amongst the true bass family. Striped bass, white bass and yellow bass all have stripes and look fairly similar when they’re the same size. Many of Louisiana’s lakes also have a hybrid between a white bass and a striper, which shares characteristics of both species. The hybrid species was recently stocked in the Calcasieu River and is similar in appearance, size and behavior to the native white bass. Harvest regulations differ for each species, so anglers should have a clear understanding of the identification differences in the fish and harvest regulations. Even with the best intentions, it is easy to go over the limit if the fish is improperly identified. Louisiana regulations allow for the harvest of 50 white bass per day but only five hybrid stripers per day. The key identifying characteristics of the hybrid striper and white bass and how you can tell the difference between these two species of fish can be referenced on the attached chart. ( click here) Anglers who are unsure of which species they have caught can bring the fish to an LDWF district office for a positive identification. The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources."

They are of significant value as sporting fish, and have been introduced to many areas outside their native range.

It inhabits rivers, bays, inlets, estuaries, and creeks. It is quite abundant in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. There, it frequently grows over four feet in length and weighs over 22 kg (50 lb ). A variety of angling methods are used, including trolling and surfcasting. The largest striped bass ever caught by angling was an 81.8 lb specimen taken in Westbrook, Connecticut on August 4, 2011. [ 1] The striped bass will swim up rivers a hundred miles or more, and in Maine they are quite plentiful in the Penobscot River and Kennebec River. Further south in Connecticut some very large ones are taken both offshore and in the Connecticut River, and the waters surrounding New York City have proven a fertile fishing ground with good sized specimens being caught during spring and summer months."

"text": "How to Rig a Fishing Pole for a Striperby Keith Dooley Use the right rigging to fish for striped bass. Stripers, or striped bass, are a popular game fish found along many parts of the Atlantic coastline. These fierce-fighting fish have been introduced into many lakes and reservoirs across the United States as game fish and to help control certain nuisance fish species. Larger stripers are typically found in the water holding near the bottom or on top chasing baitfish. Rigging for both scenarios is simple with line, terminal tackle and a few easily tied knots. Down Line Rig Place a 1- to 2-oz. sliding weight onto the end of your main line. Behind the weight, add a glass or plastic bead. Attach a barrel swivel to the end of your main line with a Trilene knot. Form the knot by passing the free end of the line through an eye of the swivel."

Follow the advice of three bassmen who target 50-pounders in Greater Boston waters.by Ron Powers June 16, 2014When the striper season begins, at some point in May for most of us in Massachusetts, catching a striped bass of any size is good enough to scratch the itch of striper fever. However, it probably wasn’t a schoolie or even the first keeper that was your lifeline this winter —- I’m betting your dreams were filled with images of catching your biggest striper ever. So, as we head into the month of June and the heart of the striper season, let’s get to the business of catching your personal best bass. The buzz along the Striper Coast is that although the total abundance of linesiders has shrunk in recent years, there are more big bass around—including some awfully large ones. It’s tough to deny the uptick, with more surf monsters and boat behemoths taken within the last few years, and you don’t have to be an accountant to appreciate the recent numbers: there’s Greg Myerson’s eel-eating Connecticut-caught world record 81.88-pounder taken in August of 2011. And who can forget Peter Vican’s 77.4-pound Rhode Island beast, which also fell for a serpent, just two months earlier. I would also be remiss if I didn’t list Connecticut Captain Blaine Anderson’s monstrous 74-pounder, which inhaled a scup for dinner in May 2012. You might notice that all three of these big bass came from Block Island Sound and Long Island Sound waters. There’s no denying that, in recent years, there seem to be more “supersize” bass available to anglers south of Cape Cod, but striper fishermen who fish from Cape Cod Bay to the New Hampshire Seacoast should, by no means, feel left out."

Muller Bucktails tipped with pork Rind remain a popular choice among the surf crowds. My desire to write this article stems from a belief that too many of us get too hung-up on carrying a suitcase full of lures lest we should find ourselves without the \"\"magic\"\" lure we think we need. In actuality, my lure bag has been limited and simply packed for decades now. As a result, my back, neck, and shoulders are a lot happier. To make the point clearly: what one really needs to know to be successful is how to get the most out of a limited lure selection. So, if I could only use five lures in the surf, what would they be? In reality, my choices are easy, because five is pretty much all I use anyway. However, I need to say that there are many other lure styles that are extremely effective and this article is not an attempt to dismiss them or demean them."

The offshore commercial fisheries are also intimately tied to Connecticuts Long Island Sound because many juvenile striped bass migrate through and baitfish are produced in the sound before migrating offshore. The juvenile life stages of many important recreational and commercial species, such as flounder and scup, depend on the fringing wetlands of Connecticut's shoreline for nursery areas. Bluefish and striped bass, which are also important recreational species, inhabit the sound and adjacent rivers, but depend on coastal wetlands for the small fish that are their food. Bluefish populations along the Atlantic coast have been in decline, and scientists believe that loss of wetland habitat is partly to blame. The most important commercial species, hard clam, depends on coastal wetlands for the detrital food chain that supports their growth. Long Island Sound Striper Fishing Fishing for stripers in Connecticut is primarily in Long Island Sound and the tributary waters leading into the sound like the Connecticut river and the Housatonic River systems. All of Connecticut's rivers flow into the Long Island Sound and from there the waters mix into the Atlantic Ocean."

"text": "Summer Fishing Tips By Bill Wilcox The summer months are considered by some anglers as the toughest in which to catch a good sack of bass. But this time of year is always my favorite to fish tournaments. I've had a lot of success in tournaments during the summer and it's because I like to fish structure in deep water. Without a doubt, how you structure fish in deep water is the question I am asked most by other anglers, both competitors and non-tournament fishermen. The first thing you have to do, above all others is to get the proper mind-set. Stay in deep water the whole time you're fishing. You can't give up after just a few hours or even two days. If you want to be successful in the summer though, you must go deep, stay deep, and don't leave. My most successful fishing spot on Richland-Chambers (Texas) was found after spending four days without a bite. Now can you honestly say you'll go to a lake and spend three or four days just looking for and fishing deep structure?"

"text": "\"Spring Striped Bass Fishing - A How To Guide by Gerry Zagorski Many people believe that the Fall is the best time to fish for Stripers. I too believed it until the past few springs. Yes, in years past the Stripers were typically larger in the fall but I have seen some pretty impressive fish come over the gunnels of Off the Hook in the recent spring. Besides quality, there is quantity in the spring as well. The fish are usually very abundant and eager to bite. The season up north in the Sandy Hook area and down south in Cape May usually kicks in by mid April and it takes place inside the Bays and Rivers. Their arrival usually coincides with a slow down in Flounder fishing. It usually starts as the water temps get into the high 40s and remains very strong until the temps get into the mid 50s. Presence of bait fish like Bunker and Herring also have a lot to do with it. These past few springs there have been tons of Bunker around and that’s why we are seeing the larger fish."

"text": "Copy Link Alignment assures your tires meet the road at the proper angle, your wheels are pointing straight and your tires are centered in the wheel wells. It adjusts the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to original specs for best gas mileage, proper road contact, a smooth ride and longest tire life. The most common signs of misalignment are pulling to one side while you’re driving, unusual tire wear and a steering wheel that’s off-center even though your vehicle is pointed straight. But these symptoms can have other causes, sometimes simpler and sometimes not. Steering pull can be caused by road conditions. If the asphalt has grooves that are slightly farther apart than your car’s axles, you may feel a pull as the tires on one side ride slightly higher. If the road is noticeably higher in the center, the vehicle may veer as the tires try to find a level surface. Torque steer is a pull that happens during acceleration, from a difference in power being delivered to the wheels. A pull only during braking is probably from a caliper on one side sticking and not fully disengaging from the brake disc. A failing tire and improper tire rotation are two more causes of steering wheel pull."

I have taken the strut off and replaced the boot but I'm having a hard time remounting the strut with the front axle inserted in the hub. Share this conversation Answered in 31 minutes by: 8/21/2009Motorcycle Mechanic: Glenn Adams IIHello ,There is a flat spot on the back side of the strut. This is where the bolt will slide through. I do not have a picture or I would supply it. Ask Your Own Motorcycle Question I removed the strut to get to the cv boot. I cleaned the hub and bearings then slid the boot onto the shaft. To be able to line up the axle with the hub the strut is still detached but after I insert the shaft into the hub, I don't have enough slack to insert the shock into the mounting hole on top. Is there something else that needs to be removed to be able to line up the shaft into the hub at the same time be able to mount the top shock mounting nut. Motorcycle Mechanic: Glenn Adams IIYou will need to back up and insert the shock first."

I recently found something on the net that could replace your original bolts with EZ-cam bolts to give you more camber-adjustability. Now these bolts have a cam in the middle and this cam is supposed to bring the knuckle/hub more in- or outwards. How is it going to do that? I tried searching everything and could not get an anwser. ( see pic below for a similiar design as on our cars) Our knuckle has a hole where the bolt goes into. The bolt than goes thru the strut-collar (whatever its name) to connect these two. Now the only way to get a angle on the sturt is if the bolt would offset the distance from the collar. How can it do that as the hole inside the knuckle doesn't touch the strut?"

Owners of other related Toyota, Scion or Pontiac vehicles with \"\"press in\"\" front wheel bearings such as the Matrix, Celica, MR2, Prius, t C, and Vibe should also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. Replacement front wheel bearings are part # 510070 from manufacturers such as Precision, National, Timken, and BCA. Amazon.com also lists the SKF # FW188 and Prime Choice Auto Parts # WB610072 as being compatible bearings. The bearings cost me $22 each, I paid $46 for a machine shop to press out/in the bearing on each steering knuckle and the 30mm 12 point drive axle nut socket was $10. My total cost to replace both wheel bearings was $146. The tools needed to remove the steering knuckle include the following: floor jack, jack stands, lug nut wrench, 17mm socket, 19mm socket, ratcheting wrench, flathead screwdriver, 30mm 12 point deep axle nut socket, breaker/cheater bar or an electric impact wrench, WD-40 spray, a hammer or mallet, needle nose pliers, white lithium grease, Loctite Red heavy duty threadlocker liquid and a torque wrench. Support With Jack Stand Spin Off Lug Nuts Front Brake Rotor Our 2005 Toyota Corolla is about to pass 100,000 miles on the odometer and I've been hearing a faint growling (groaning, roaring, whirring, moaning, humming, whining, grinding) noise coming from the front driver's side wheel bearing. Once the annoying sounds got louder, I decided it was a good time to just replace both of the front wheel bearings. The first few steps are to chock the rear wheels, engage the emergency parking brake so that the vehicle won't move, and slightly loosen the five lug nuts on the front wheels."

A front strut, commonly called a Mac Pherson strut, is a suspension assembly that is integral to the front suspension and steering system of a vehicle. A loaded front strut assembly consists of two basic components, a coil spring and a shock absorber. The coil spring is in place to support the weight of the vehicle and to absorb large bumps. It allows the front suspension to travel up and down so that the vehicle body can remain stable. The shock absorber runs through the center of the spring and eases smaller bumps, dampens vibrations, and lends stability to the vehicle. How does the front strut/shock absorber work?"

"text": "\"Loading Push-rod - pull-rod Pull-rod suspension Push-rod suspension Push-rod or pull-rod, the difference as the name suggests is the whether the rod push up to the rocker or pull down to the rocker. Pull rods were first brought to Formula 1 by Gordon Murray with Brabham in the 70s but now all formula one teams make use of the push rods, as pull rods are quite hard to implement in a high nosed car. The advantages of a pull rod lie in the possibility to make the nose lower, assemble most suspension parts lower to the ground and thus lowering the height of the center of gravity. Pull rod set up has a strut from the outer end of the upper wishbones that runs diagonally to the lower edge of the chassis and \"\"pulls\"\" a rocker to operate the spring\\damper. A push rod is the opposite; the strut runs from the lower wish bone to the upper edge of the chassis. Choice between the two is geometry and Co G (Centre of gravity). Also a pull rod will flex in droop ( wheel going down) and push rod will flex with the wheel in bump (wheel going up) hence F1 push or pull rods are large carbon molding to withstand the flexing from the high wheel loads. Most F1 cars now use push rods. The high nose makes it almost impossible to locate a rocker low enough in the chassis and still have the right geometry. Minardi and Arrows used pull rods with low noses to lower the centre of gravity."

Check out some other projects from the book: Another popular project among BMW 3 Series owners is replacing the front and rear shocks. Replace both the front and the rear at the same time, as they take roughly similar abuse over their lifetimes, so neither is likely to be more or less worn than the other. The shocks should always be replaced in pairs (left and right together, see Project 61). I recommend that you replace your shocks every 50,000 miles or so, or if they start to show signs of fading or wearing out. If you push down on a corner of the car, it should spring back with little oscillation up and down."

The suspension keeps the wheels in proper contact/friction with the ground despite bumps or other road irregularities, creating a smooth ride. Typical costs: Replacing a suspension system can cost $1,000-$5,000 or more, depending on the type of system and the make, model and year of the vehicle (luxury vehicles typically cost more than standard automobiles). Costs also depend on the amount of wear and rust underneath the vehicle (which can make it more difficult and time-consuming to remove the old parts). Replacing just the four shock absorbers or struts that are part of the suspension system can cost $200-$1,500 for an average vehicle or $2,000-$5,000 for luxury vehicles or those with difficult access or heavy rust; do-it-yourself costs for replacement of shocks/struts averages $150-$250. Replacing just the four ball joints can cost $350-$2,200 or more, depending on the make, model and year of the vehicle, and the difficulty of access; do-it-yourself replacement typically costs $125-$400 or more. Related articles: Car Shock Absorbers, Ball Joint Replacement, Replacing a CV Boot, Tires, Wheel Alignment What should be included: The suspension system is part of the chassis, which contains all the important systems located underneath the body of a vehicle.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Mac Pherson strut suspension, track control arm coloured dark blue In automotive suspension, a control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel. The inboard (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually a rubber bushing. It can thus control the position of the outboard end in only a single degree of freedom, maintaining the radial distance from the inboard mount. Although not deliberately free to move, the single bushing does not control the arm from moving back and forth; this motion is constrained by a separate link or radius rod. [ 1]This is in contrast to the wishbone. Wishbones are triangular and have two widely spaced inboard bearings. These constrain the outboard end of the wishbone from moving back and forth, controlling two degrees of freedom, and without requiring additional links. Most control arms form the lower link of a suspension. A few designs use them as the upper link, usually with a lower wishbone. The additional radius rod is then attached to the upper arm."

"text": "\"Food & Drink Other - Food & Drink What do sugar gliders eat?1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: What exactly do you feed the little buggers? Sugar gliders are omnivores. They can eat a wide variety of stuff including: fruits, vegetables, protein, and breads and cereals. Their diet should consist of 20% - 30% fruits (some sources say only 5%), 40% vegetables (they tend not to like bananas and citrus fruits can cause diarrhea, canned fruits have too much sugar, frozen vegetables are ok), 25% to 50% protein (such as monkey chow, tofu, cooked turkey or chicken, hardboiled eggs, baby chicks or mice, and insects), and 15% breads and cereals (not too sugary or high in fat). Gliders are high-energy creatures and need lots of carbohydrates which breads and cereals can provide. You can occasionally give them them small pieces of wheat bread, shredded wheat squares (the kind with the raisin in the middle) or other HEALTHY cereals. Try experimenting with new foods, and make sure to rotate favorites to keep gliders from losing interest. In the wild, insects are a regular part of a sugar glider's diet. They really enjoy eating live insects like crickets and mealworms. However, I prefer crickets over mealworms because they are lower in fat, higher in protein, and have a better calcium/phosphorus ratio."

They are so named because they have a preference for sweet foods and a patagium (gliding membrane). The gliding membrane is connected from the wrist to the ankle. When not in use it is folded close to the body. Sugar Gliders can glide 50 meters or 150 feet. Each foot has five digits, and all are clawed, except the medial opposable large toe on each hind foot. The second and third digits of each hind foot are partially fused and form a grooming comb. The tail is used as a rudder to guide them. Sugar gliders are arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time in trees. They go down on the ground occasionally to feed, but they are very vulnerable to ground predators as well as aerial predators."

The better question is which exotic pets are legal in your specified state. Bans vary from state to state. Even within your state, animal bans also exist in certain cities, counties, and neighborhood associations. This article will give you an idea of which pets are generally allowed, but you should always look into the the specific regulations that apply to you. People’s definitions of an exotic animal vary. The media generally uses the word \"\"exotic\"\" to describe pets that people fear, such as big cats, large snakes, and wolves (even though these canines are native to America). Exotics are generally any animal other than dogs, cats, farm animals, and common \"\"pocket\"\" pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, and small rodents like hamsters."

Getty Images/grecosvet Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a well recognized and all too common disease often seen in our pet reptiles. Other terms which may be used include fibrous osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, and rickets. There is no single cause of MBD and the disease is not as simple as calcium deficiency. However, the primary problem is a disruption of calcium metabolism which causes a host of related problems. MBD is almost always a result of poor husbandry but it is also generally preventable by providing a proper environment and diet specific for your type of reptile. This is not always easy or inexpensive for a reptile owner to do but is vital to the health of all pet reptiles. Causes of Metabolic Bone Disease Metabolic bone disease is a complex disease. In it's simplest of terms, metabolic bone disease results from an improper calcium to phosphorus ratio in the body. Normally, this ratio should be around two parts calcium and one part phosphorus (2:1)."

The sugar glider, a nocturnal marsupial from the southern Pacific, resembles a flying squirrel and is often kept as an exotic pet.“ Who’s there ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by Lostin Texas How much does a sugar glider cost? The cost of a sugar glider can greatly vary depending on the gender, lineage and the breeder you’re adopting from. Like a dog or cat, if you were to adopt, the costs can be all over the place. A baby sugar glider, aged eight to 13 weeks old, will often cost $200 to $650. A luxurious or pure white breeder can cost upwards of $1,500. According to Babble.com, the average sugar glider can cost $200 to $300. Dr. David Brust says that a baby sugar glider, between the ages of eight to 12 weeks old, should be $200 to $400."

These bluish-gray possums are aptly named for their gliding abilities -- not to mention their penchant for consuming \"\"sugary\"\" things -- think tree sap. Like the vast majority of animals on this planet, sugar gliders are also subject to predation. Details on the Sugar Glider Sugar gliders are relatively abundant within their natural geographic scope. These companionable tree leapers live in a variety of different forest habitats, including degraded and primary woodlands. As long as sugar gliders are capable of finding sufficient sustenance in a specific forest, they will probably remain there. Apart from tree sap, the general sugar glider diet consists of acacia gum, nectar from flowers, pollen, nuts, bugs, bug larvae and some tiny mammals such as mice. As for sources of tree sap, they gravitate to the eucalyptus tree. Sugar gliders usually weigh somewhere in the range of 114 and 171 grams, according to Animal Bytes of Sea World. Predators of the Sugar Glider A wide array of different animals commonly feed on sugar gliders."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Wear a shirt for a day then place it over the top of their cage. This helps them get used to your scent. Also cut up strips or squares of fleece and wear them against your body [if you're a girl, it's easiest to just tuck a piece into your bra and let the fleece just hang under your shirt]. After wearing those for a day put those pieces in the pouch with the gliders. Again, to help with your scent. During the day, take the pouch out of the cage and wear it between shirts. I just put on a sweater and tuck them between the two layers."

I know what happens to a human or animal when carbon monoxide is inhaled, but am not sure about the effects of natural gas. Is it possible that there was carbon monoxide built up from the gas leak that later dissipated and could not be detected by the gas company's equipment?

They’re a lot smaller than kangaroos, however, and look very much like squirrels. Despite the resemblance, sugar gliders are not actually related to squirrels, but come from a completely different family. Their scientific name translates into English as “short-headed rope dancer” and they got this name because they can do incredible acrobatics in trees and in flight. Sugar Gliders Have a Very Sweet Tooth Although they’re omnivores who can eat pretty much anything, sugar gliders prefer sweet foods. Their favorite foods include nectar, honey, honeydew, sap, and acacia gum. To get sap, they will remove the bark of trees and bore holes into the trunk to drink the liquid gum. While they can get half of their water needs from rainwater, the other half comes from the foods they eat. For balanced nutrition, they also supplement their diet with vegetation, eggs, insects and worms. Sugar Gliders Can’t Actually Fly Another of our sugar glider facts is that they’re named after both their diet and the unique way in which they move."

"text": "\"Home »Nature Superworm Life Cycle By Mary Osborne; Updated April 24, 2017Superworms are often available in pet stores as a popular food item for large reptiles, certain birds, amphibians and other animals like hedgehogs and sugar gliders. They can grow to a whopping 2 inches or more in length, are voracious eaters and have been known to eat paper products or gnaw their way out of the containers housing them. Superworms can become cannibalistic if left without food and kept in close confinement. Active and attention-drawing, they pique the interest of their predators, whether it be a leopard gecko or a sugar glider, and are quickly snapped up as a meal. The life cycle of a superworm is similar to that of all other beetles, but these little creatures can remain in the larval stage of their life cycle for many months. Mating of Darkling Beetles Superworms aren't true worms; they are the larval form of the Zophobas beetle, one of the over 19,000 species of darkling beetle. When it's time for darkling beetles to mate, the male will transfer enough sperm into the female to fertilize all the eggs she will have from that point on. The male's sperm will remain inside her body within a special organ, and will be released as needed just before the female's maturing eggs are released. The journey from egg to adult beetle is a remarkable process called \"\"complete metamorphosis;\"\" each stage is considerably different from the previous. Eggs A female darkling beetle lays her eggs in the soil, in rotting animal carcasses, in the bark of decaying trees, or on decomposing vegetation."

"text": "Low-carbers beware the breathalyzerby Michael Eades Comment 17 Share Tweet printemail A recent article in the International Journal of Obesity should give low-carbers cause for a little alarm. Here is what happened to a man in Sweden on a low-carb diet: We report a case of a 59-year-old man, body mass index 26.6 kg/m2, who began a weight reduction program, partly because of knee pains but also because he was a glider pilot where weight is important. He used a Swedish textbook on obesity treatment written by S Rössner together with the commonly used Swedish VLCD [very low calorie diet] Nutrilett (Cederroths, Stockholm, Sweden), 5 packets/day for 3 weeks, which is an approved standard regimen. This treatment resulted in a weight loss of 7 kg. During dieting, the man discovered that an alcohol ignition interlock device, installed in an official company car, indicated that he had consumed alcohol and the vehicle failed to start. This was confusing because the man was a life-long teetotaller and was therefore both surprised and upset by the result. As he had been supervising private aviation he had access to a second breath-alcohol analyzer, which indicated a simultaneous BAC ranging from 0.01 to 0.02 g/100 ml. A VLCD diet (very-low-calorie diet, a protein-sparing modified fast) contains mainly protein along with a small amount of carbohydrate and very few calories, usually fewer than 1000 per day. Just about anyone going on one of these diets will soon be in producing ketone bodies at a pretty high rate. But the same goes for a more traditional low-carb diet as well."

You can also get sugar gliders that need to be rehomed less expensive, like 2 with all accessories for $150 (thats how much my first pair cost me). You then need to think about cages and accessories. They need a cage at least 4 ft tall, if not taller. The taller the better - regular bird cages work well, but they are usually $100+ just for the smallest possible. I got what is called a Reptarium (6ft tall, 3ft wide) on sale for $80. Other accessories are cage and bonding pouches and lots and lots of toys.

They are generally 11-16 in (27.5 - 40 cm) in length, with 6-8 in (15-20 cm) of that belonging to the bushy, non-prehensile tail. Sexual dimorphism is present in this species, with the males being larger than the females. The males weigh approximately 115-160 g, while the females weigh 100-135 g. Sugar gliders have a squirrel-like body ending in a long tail. The heady is rather short and narrow. The legs are small and end in five-digit feet."

Lepomis cyanellus is blue-green in color with scattered dots of black and a white to yellow belly. They have a dark spot on the soft spinous portion of the dorsal fin, and sometimes a spot on the posterior portion of their anal fin. Females have dusky colored bars on the dorsolateral portion of their body. Immature individuals lack striking color patterns, and instead are plain gray without bands.

In other words, what kills bass, how long do they live, that sort of thing,\"\" he explains. \"\" By looking at the various foods in their stomachs, we can determine how well they are eating. If they aren't getting big fast enough, we might be able to help them out by providing more food. \"\" Biologists help bass eat better by stocking forage fish such as shad, herring or alewives in a lake that doesn't have enough food to help bass grow big."

Found statewide, largemouth bass have excellent growth rates, particularly in the productive waters of central Florida. Historically known for huge bass, Florida remains an outstanding destination to catch a trophy. Spring is the best time of year to catch bass, when fish move into shallow water to spawn. Spawning may occur as early as January in extreme south Florida and as late as May in the panhandle, but March and April are peak months. Most large bass are taken at this time; after spawning, many large females move to offshore areas. The best live bait is a golden shiner, fished under a float or free-lined. Typically, the shiner is hooked through the lips or back with a large hook, 2/0 to 5/0. A medium to medium-heavy rod with 14- to 20-pound test line is preferred, particularly when fishing in areas with thick vegetation or cover. The plastic worm is the most dependable artificial bait for largemouth bass."

The species epithet macrochirus is also Greek and means \"\"large hand\"\" which may refer to the body shape or its size. Bluegills may be distinguished from other sunfish by the dark spot at the base of the dorsal fin, vertical bars on their sides, and a relatively small mouth. The spiny dorsal fin usually has 10 spines (but may have as many as 11 or as few as 9), and is broadly connected to the soft dorsal. The anal fin has three spines. The back and upper sides are usually dark olive green blending to lavender, brown, copper, or orange on the sides, and reddish-orange or yellow on the belly. Colors are more intense in breeding males, and vertical bars may take on a reddish hue. Life History Bluegills begin spawning when water temperatures reach about 70°F. Spawning may peak in May or June, but continues until water temperatures cool in the fall. Because of their long spawning season, bluegills have very high reproductive potential, which often results in overpopulation in the face of low predation or low fishing pressure."

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

In many parts of the United States, including Texas, May and June are prime months for catching the most common of freshwater game fish and arguably the fish that's the most fun to catch, at least from a nostalgia viewpoint. Bob Lusk understands the excitement. For 29 years, Lusk has managed private lakes. Fishing in the best private lakes is like deer hunting in the king's reserve, a distinct career bonus more relaxing than stock options for an overpaid CEO. \"\" What I really enjoy is catching bluegills on light spinning tackle _ four-pound test line or lighter,\"\" Lusk said. \"\" Put a glob of night crawler on the hook, clip a bobber to the line and watch it disappear when a hungry fish takes it out of sight. That's how I learned to fish when I was a kid. That's how most anglers learn to fish. \"\" Lake managers appreciate bluegills because the prolific sunfish are considered the building block of forage species necessary to feed the largemouth bass that most lake owners covet as trophy game fish."

But, before answering “what is the biggest fish”, we must answer “what is a fish?” At first, it looks like an easy question, but in fact it is not. There are a wide range of animals we call “fish”, so it is not easy to define what makes a fish “a fish”. A general description: “a fish is any member of a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits” (wikipedia). All fishes have a brain protected by a braincase, and an obvious head region with eyes, teeth, and other sensory organs. Most fishes:are vertebrates with vertebrae protecting the spinal cord.live in water.breathe primarily with gills rather than lungs.have paired limbs, in the form of fins that aid in locomotion.are unable to regulate their own internal body temperatures.are covered with scales that protect their bodies. But there are exceptions: hagfish aren’t vertebrates and don’t have scales; mudskippers can live outside the water, lungfish use lungs to breathe, lampreys don’t have paired fins, and tuna are warm blooded. Fish can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish); in environments as hot as 104°F/40°C and as cold as 28°F/-2°C. And here are top six largest living fish species, in reversed order.6."

The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei and the German mathematician Christoph Scheiner were among the first to make telescopic observations of sunspots. Scheiner’s drawings in the Rosa Ursina are of almost modern quality, and there was little improvement in solar imaging until 1905. In the 1670s the British astronomer John Flamsteed and the French astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini calculated the distance to the Sun. Sir Isaac Newton set forth the role of the Sun as the centre of attraction of the known planetary system.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an intense flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation. The source of this activity, sunspot 1158 is growing rapidly. Credit: NASA/SDOThough the sun lies 93 million miles (149 million kilometers) from Earth, its unceasing activity assures an impact on our planet far beyond the obvious light and heat. From a constant stream of particles in the form of solar wind to the unpredictable bombardment from solar flares and coronal mass ejections, Earth often feels the effects of its stellar companions. Less noticeable are the sunspots crossing the solar surface, though they are related to the more violent interactions. All of these fall under the definition of \"\"space weather. \"\" On July 1st, 2013, a large prominence erupted off the Sun's eastern limb and on July 3rd, an M1.5-class flare made a statement. Neither eruptions were Earth-directed. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory snapped imagery."

"text": "The Weakest Solar Cycle in 100 Years By: Monica Young | July 24, 2013Scientists are struggling to explain the Sun’s bizarre recent behavior. Is this solar cycle a fluke, or a sign of a deeper trend? The Sun is currently at the peak of Cycle 24, the weakest cycle in 100 years. D. Hathaway / NASA / MSFC The Sun is acting weird. It typically puts on a pageant of magnetic activity every 11 years for aurora watchers and sungazers alike, but this time it overslept. When it finally woke up ( a year late ), it gave the weakest performance in 100 years. What’s even weirder is that scientists, who aren’t usually shy about tossing hypotheses about, are at a loss for a good explanation. Three scientists, David Hathaway (NASA / Marshall Space Flight Center), Giuliana de Toma (High Altitude Observatory), and Matthew Penn (National Solar Observatory) presented possible explanations at this month’s meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Solar Physics Division, but their results sparked a lively debate rather than a scientific consensus.

They are the places (\"\"active regions\"\") where the Sun's magnetic field rises up from below the Sun's surface and those magnetic regions poke through. Sunspots are darker than the surrounding areas because they are expending less energy and have a lower temperature. Sunspots often have poles (\"\"polarity\"\") like the south and north poles of magnets. Sunspots are formed continuously as the Sun's magnetic field actively moves through the Sun. The sunspots have lifetimes of days or perhaps one week or a few weeks. Here is one scenario that some scientists think explains how sunspots form. Imagine the magnetic field on the Sun as loops like rubber bands that wrap around the Sun, with one end attached to the south pole and the other end attached to the north pole."

"text": "Solar Flares Drive Temps Higher—Not Global Warming NN&V Exclusive ( Earl Wheeler) – Sun erupts with the summer’s strongest solar flare. So reads a headline in a recent MSNBC story. As we suffer from a seemingly un-naturally hot start to the summer, you might wonder what sunspots have to do with the weather here on earth. The short answer is – a lot. The sun, which provides the life-giving energy needed for our planet is not a steady-state energy producer. The sun goes through several cycles, of which the best known is the 11-year sunspot cycle. The current sunspot cycle is expected to peak in 2013 and, consequently, that is expected to be a turbulent year. Solar flares are classified according to a system that divides them according to strength. The biggest are known as X-class flares. The smallest flares are A-class, which are considered normal background levels, followed by B, C, M and X. Similar to the logarithmic Richter scale for earthquakes, each letter represents a 10-fold increase in energy output, meaning a B is 10 time more powerful than an A and a C is ten times more than a B and an X is ten times more than an M and 100 times more than a C. On Friday, July 6, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted this summer’s first X solar flare – a giant outburst from the sun at the top of the scale."

They are flat brown spots that show up on the parts of your skin that have been exposed to the sun. Once you start getting sun spots on your skin, expect them to darken and increase in number with every UV ray that hits your skin. Any UV ray from the sun will darken your sun spots. Yes, that means that even the sun that comes through windows, that bounces off cement or water, or that passes through clouds will worsen your sunspots. What about tanning beds, will tanning beds give you sun spots? Can you outwit the process and avoid sun spots by tanning in a tanning bed with unnatural UV light instead of in the sun with natural UV light? No, tanning-bed UV rays will cause sun spots on skin too. In fact, tanning-bed ‘freckles’ as they are called, are often more numerous on the skin than the sunspot sun freckles from natural UV light."

Fluctuations in the solar output are therefore likely to affect the climate on Earth, but establishing both how the output of he Sun varies and how such variations influence Earth's climate have proved tricky. But increased amounts of data from the Sun and about the climate on Earth over recent years mean that rapid progress is being made. In this paper, I review the current debate on the influence of the Sun and summarize the state of play in this area of solar physics. Issue Section: Features The Earth is a warm and cosy cradle dangling in cold and largely empty space made even less hospitable by harmful high-energy particles and short-wavelength radiation. Two of the factors critical for the survival of life are the protection provided by the Earth's atmosphere and the warmth bestowed by the Sun's radiation. Since the Sun is by far the largest supplier of energy to the Earth's surface, any change in the radiative output of the Sun also affects the energy balance of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, so that at some level it influences our climate. Changes in the solar spectrum, in particular in the UV, could enhance (or dampen) this influence, by affecting stratospheric chemistry: most importantly the balance between ozone production and destruction (each driven by radiation at different wavelengths). Finally, the Sun may influence the Earth's climate also in other, more convoluted ways, e.g. by modulating the flux of cosmic rays, which have been proposed to increase the coverage by low-lying clouds."

During dust storms and on overcast days when most of the sun's rays were blocked, they noticed that the sun's surface was occasionally marked with dark spots. They even noticed that these spots moved across the face of the sun over a period of several days. Soon after the invention of the telescope, astronomers of the 17th century used their new tool to study and map sunspots in detail. Yohkoh and Big Bear Solar Observatory This movie was made from daily images of the sun taken over several days.

The output characteristics of the Sun define the habitable zone in the Solar System. It is the only star whose surface we can study in any kind of detail!Sun's Overall Propertiesproduces 4x10 26watts of energy and based on the Earth's fossil record, has been doing so at virtually the same rate for over 3 billion years.has a mass of 2x10 30kg and an average density of 1400 kg/m 3 (recall the computation of the density of Jupiter which illustrates that even an object comprised largely of H can be this dense; H is in a different state in the Sun than in Jupiter, however)has a surface temperature of 5800ºK (which implies that it must be a compressed gas because no materials can remain solid or even liquid at this temperature)rotates in about 25 days at its equator; it rotates differentially confirming its gaseous characterhas a magnetic field How do we know the Sun's power output? By measuring the radiation received just outside the Earth's atmosphere and applying our knowledge that the Sun's radiation will have been spread over a sphere whose radius is the Earth's distance from the Sun:flux f = 1370 watts/m 2received from the Sun at the Earth, integrated over all wavelengths so L Sun= 4 d 2f = 4 (1.50x10 11m) 21370 w/m 2= 3.9x10 26watts We can determine the Sun's temperature either by measuring the peak of its output or by appealing to use of the Stefan-Boltzmann law and knowledge of the Sun's radius Rsun: (Lecture 4 also presented this calculation)We can also make estimates of what conditions must be like in the Sun's interior: Pressure: Keeps the Sun from collapsing under the force of its own gravity. Estimate by subdividing the Sun into two halves and computing the gravitational force of the two halves on each other: The force from gas pressure must equal the gravitational force (this requirement is also call hydrostatic equilibrium ): This estimate really gives a value approximating the average pressure; the central pressure in the Sun is higher with a value of about 3x10 11 atm!From this pressure estimate we can derive an estimate of the average temperature in the interior of the Sun: Again, this is an average of sorts of the interior temperature; the central temperature in the Sun is 1.5x10 7° K. How can the Sun produce this much energy for billions of years? The real issue is not the quantity of power but the length of time over which the Sun has been producing at this level.-- at the end of the 19th century, this issue was a genuine puzzle.-- chemical processes such as burning of coal would require combustion of 1500 pounds of coal per square foot of surface area so this would keep the Sun going for only a few 10s of 1000s of years-- Kelvin and Helmholtz proposed that perhaps gravitational contraction of the Sun was the answer: The gravitational potential energy between two particles is This can be generalized to an sphere with uniform density (not quite correct for the Sun but this we give us a reasonable estimate of the gravitational self-energy of the Sun): The length of time that the Sun could radiate by shrinking is the total energy available divided by the rate at which it is emitting: Obviously this is not the answer for supplying energy for more than 3 billion years!We now know that nuclear fusion supplies the energy for the Sun The basic principle is One fusion of 4 H to He releases 4.x10 -12joules soso computing a time scale as before: What else can we learn about the Sun by observing its surface? Photosphere = layer at which the Sun becomes opaque to radiation; \"\"surface\"\" of the Sun but is not solid! Note that the darkening apparent towards the limb in the visible light picture of the Sun above is the result of viewing through a longer path length of cooler material just above the photosphere. Chromosphere = cooler region just about the photosphere, density is relatively low so this region does not emit strongly. During an eclipse, the chromosphere can be seen as a reddish layer in Ha light."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The immune network theory is a theory of how the adaptive immune system works, that has been developed since 1974 mainly by Niels Jerne [1] and Geoffrey W. Hoffmann. [ 2] [3] The theory states that the immune system is an interacting network of lymphocytes and molecules that have variable (V) regions. These V regions bind not only to things that are foreign to the vertebrate, but also to other V regions within the system. The immune system is therefore seen as a network, with the components connected to each other by V-V interactions. It has been suggested that the phenomena that the theory describes in terms of networks are also explained by clonal selection theory. [ 4] [5]The scope of the symmetrical network theory developed by Hoffmann includes the phenomena of low dose and high dose tolerance, first reported for a single antigen by Avrion Mitchison, [6] and confirmed by Geoffrey Shellam and Sir Gustav Nossal, [7] the helper [8] and suppressor roles [9] of T cells, the role of non-specific accessory cells in immune responses, [10] and the very important phenomenon called I-J. Jerne was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1984 partly for his work towards the clonal selection theory, as well as his proposal of the immune network concept. [ 11]Immune network theory has also inspired a subfield of optimization algorithms similar to artificial neural networks, and unrelated to biological immunology.

[ 1] One reason for abnormal results is the loss of CD4-positive cells to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The loss of CD4-positive cells to HIV infection can result in various distortions in the ratio, as in the initial period, production of HIV specific CD8 positive cells will cause a large fall in the ratio, but subsequent immunosuppression over time may lead to overall non production of immune cells and inversion of the ratio. It has been shown that the degree of inversion of this ratio in individuals on antiretroviral therapy is indicative of the age of the infection and independently predictive of mortality associated with non HIV events.

"text": "Types of Autoimmune Diseases, Causes & Blood Tests Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Autoimmune disorders are those diseases that occur as a result of the body’s immune system attacking different cells, tissues, organs or the entire body. The body has a number of mechanisms to prevent the immune system from attacking its own tissues but under certain conditions, these self regulating mechanisms may fail, leading to an autoimmune disease. Causes of Autoimmune Diseases When a foreign substance or microorganism enters the body, the proteins (antigens) are detected by the immune system and antibodies are produced against these antigen. Antibodies enable the immune cells to identify foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria, and initiate an appropriate response to neutralize these pathogens. In an autoimmune disorder, the immune system produces antibodies against the body’s own tissues and this causes the immune cells to attack the specific tissue or organ. The body has a suppressing mechanism to prevent this from occurring, known as the the T-suppressor cell system, but this may fail. Possible causes of autoimmune diseases include : Genetic factors. Infection. Certain bacteria or viruses may affect the T-suppressor cell system or trigger antibodies that target the body’s own tissues which may appear similar to the pathogen. Alternatively certain infections may trigger a change in the body’s own molecules thereby rendering it ‘foreign’ to the immune system."

Using telomerase, several successful oncogene-mediated transformations of human cells have been reported and the following cellular requirements for human cell transformation have been proposed: the maintenance of telomere sequences, the inactivation of Rb and p53 pathways, the perturbation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the expression of activated Ras. Even when all of these requirements are fulfilled, however, the transformed phenotypes of human cells seem to be much less malignant than those of rodent cells meeting the same requirements. This suggests the existence of undefined cell-autonomous mechanisms that render human cells resistant to malignant transformation. Previous article Next article The development of cancer is a complicated process involving multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations. Analyzing the process of malignant transformation that is induced experimentally in cell culture is undoubtedly a powerful approach for uncovering the basic biological and biochemical principles underlying the development of cancer. This approach has been taken extensively with chicken or rodent cells but only to a very limited extent with human cells, because human cells are much more resistant to oncogenic transformation than are the cells of other species. However, the situation has rapidly changed during the last several years. The ectopic expression of the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (h TERT) now makes it possible to circumvent telomere-based senescence, one of the major constraints on human cell transformation, and to induce the oncogenic transformation of several types of normal human cells by use of certain combinations of oncogenes. Resistance of normal human cells to transformation and the link to senescence Studies with chemical carcinogens provided the first indication that the in vitro transformation of normal human cells is much more difficult than that of normal rodent cells [1,2]. After the identification of many oncogenes in the early 1980s, this species-specific difference in transformability was clearly demonstrated in gene-transfer experiments."

Mdm2 overexpression, in cooperation with oncogenic Ras, promotes transformation of primary rodent fibroblasts, and mdm2 expression led to tumor formation in nude mice. The human homologue of this protein was later identified and is sometimes called Hdm2. Further supporting the role of mdm2 as an oncogene, several human tumor types have been shown to have increased levels of Mdm2, including soft tissue sarcomas and osteosarcomas as well as breast tumors. The MDM2 oncoprotein ubiquitinates and antagonizes p53 but may also carry out p53-independent functions.

Tumor suppressor genes have an inhibitory function and normally they prevent tumor growth. In case these genes are turned off, it is possible for cancer to develop [1]. How do tumor suppressor genes work? Tumor suppressor genes encode certain proteins. These proteins take part in: Slowing down cell division Repairing mistakes in DNAControlling programmed cell death- apoptosis There are 2 main groups of tumor suppressor genes: Promoters- mutation of these genes directly leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation Caretakers-responsible for integrity of the genome. Mutation of these genes compromises their ability to repair DNA therefore causing mutations in other genes. Human cells have 2 copies of each gene- one is inherited from the mother and other one from the father. If the cell contains at least one functioning tumor suppressor gene that can produce enough protein with inhibitory function, it will continue functioning. In order to inactivate tumor suppressor gene both copies have to be inactivated. For this reason mutations in tumor suppressor genes are recessive [1,2]. Tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes Tumor suppressor genes have an inhibitory function, while proto-oncogenes are stimulating cell growth and development."

Short hairpin RNA (sh RNA) sequences are usually encoded in a DNA vector that can be introduced into cells via plasmid transfection or viral transduction. sh RNA molecules can be divided into two main categories based on their designs: simple stem-loop and micro RNA-adapted sh RNA. A simple stem-loop sh RNA is often transcribed under the control of an RNA Polymerase III (Pol III) promoter [1, 2]. The 50-70 nucleotide transcript forms a stem-loop structure consisting of a 19 to 29 bp region of double-strand RNA (the stem) bridged by a region of predominantly single-strand RNA (the loop) and a dinucleotide 3' overhang [3-5]. The simple stem-loop sh RNA is transcribed in the nucleus and enters the RNAi pathway similar to a pre-micro RNA."

( January 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Echo suppression and echo cancellation are methods used in telephony to improve voice quality by preventing echo from being created or removing it after it is already present. In addition to improving subjective audio quality, echo suppression increases the capacity achieved through silence suppression by preventing echo from traveling across a network. Echo suppressors were developed in the 1950s in response to the first use of satellites for telecommunications, but they have since been largely supplanted by better performing echo cancellers. Echo suppression and cancellation methods are commonly called acoustic echo suppression ( AES) and acoustic echo cancellation ( AEC ), and more rarely line echo cancellation ( LEC ). In some cases, these terms are more precise, as there are various types and causes of echo with unique characteristics, including acoustic echo (sounds from a loudspeaker being reflected and recorded by a microphone, which can vary substantially over time) and line echo (electrical impulses caused by, e.g., coupling between the sending and receiving wires, impedance mismatches, electrical reflections, etc., [ 1] which varies much less than acoustic echo). In practice, however, the same techniques are used to treat all types of echo, so an acoustic echo canceller can cancel line echo as well as acoustic echo."

In this hospital, the patient goes to one patient room to disrobe and gown, then another where anesthesia is first administered (spouse not allowed), then to the OR. The room where my wife disrobed had only a curtain that ended at the edge of the door open to the hallway. When closed there was still a fair gap where we could see into the hallway (and, of course, people in the hallway could see us). There were many male orderlies as well as patients hanging around in the hallway. I spoke to the nurse, and told her my wife was unwilling to disrobe unless this gap was closed.

"text": "WHAT IS A VET ASSISTANT AND WHAT DO VET ASSISTANTS DO? With the recent explosion of organic pet foods, handsewn costumes, and psychiatric medicines for people’s furry, feathered, and scaly companions, it’s clear that pets hold a privileged position in many households. In fact, an annual survey by American Pet Products Association (APPA 2017) found that 68 percent of US households have pets, up from 56 percent in 1988. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2017) has repeatedly emphasized the positive effects of animals on lowering people’s blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and feelings of loneliness. For animal-lovers seeking a career with minimal training, becoming a veterinary assistant can be a fulfilling option. So what is a veterinary assistant? And what do these animal care specialists do? According to O*NET (2017)—a data organization affiliated with the US Department of Labor—vet assistants are on the front lines of animal caretaking, taking on responsibilities such as managing the everyday needs of animals (e.g., feeding, bathing, exercising); restraining animals during examinations and procedures; assisting with non-invasive medical procedures; disinfecting cages and kennels; scheduling medical appointments with pet-owners; sterilizing equipment and surgical rooms; monitoring veterinary patients’ health status (e.g., taking weight or temperature); and educating pet-owners. They may help veterinary technicians and veterinarians in more advanced capacities such as administering medication, processing laboratory samples, and performing medical tests (e.g., x-rays). Veterinary assistants are typically employed by animal clinics and veterinary hospitals, sometimes working nights, weekends, and holidays to meet the needs of their veterinary patients."

"text": "A surgical instrument technician is a job within the allied health professions that involve working with surgical instruments. He or she may also refer to surgery technicians, surgical instrument techs, biomedical device technicians, or surgical techs. In the majority of professional situations, a surgical instrument tech is an individual responsible for sterilization and preparation of instruments and other areas of an operating or surgical procedure room. In some facilities, the technician may be defined as an individual who maintains and repairs surgical instruments. Most surgical instrument technicians work in hospital settings in department operating rooms, but may also work in ambulatory care centers, outpatient surgical centers, and other facilities where invasive procedures, such as colonoscopies or oral surgeries, take place. In most job descriptions for this position, the primary responsibility is to prepare surgical instruments for use. This may involve sterilization, inventorying, and selection of instruments by order of an operating physician. In some cases, it may involve actually remaining in the operating room for the surgery itself to assist with instrumentation, post-operative sterilization and disposal. The actual clinical roles required of a surgical instrument technician will vary depending on the facility, the type of surgeries taking place, and the regulations of the facility. The roles and responsibilities are defined in the job description rather than the job title, as some surgical instrument techs may be considered part of a sterilization and preparation role while others may be considered a part of the surgical team."

The number of surgical technologists is projected to increase 15 percent from through 2024—a number that dwarfs the seven percent growth projected for all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Not only that, but also the median wage for surgical techs in 2016 was $45,160 as compared to the $37,040 median wage for all occupations. * If that doesn’t catch your interest; the fact it doesn’t require a Bachelor’s degree should. While you may be eager to launch your surgical tech career, it’s important to know whether you have what it takes beforehand. Because they play such a unique, hands-on role in the operating room, it is critical that surgical techs understand the less-common skills that are needed to become successful in the field. The usual descriptors like “hard-worker” and “dedicated” are all great to have, but these five skills identified by surgical techs will help you stand out. Surgical tech skill #1: A strong stomach Any hands-on healthcare job has unpleasant to downright disgusting moments, but as a surgical tech, you will be smack-dab in the presence of more exposed innards than you’d probably care to share. It’s important that you keep your cool and don’t get woozy in the middle of an operation if things get messy. After all, there will be quite a bit of blood—and smells—in the operating room, says Rasmussen College Program Coordinator Chante Yearby."

What is a Surgical Assistant? Although the titles of surgical technologist and surgical assistant are sometimes used interchangeably in the medical field, there are significant differences between them, as well as several alternative names for each. Let’s compare surgical assistant vs. technician duties and education paths. Occasionally, the term surgical technician is used to denote someone who has primarily on-the-job training, with little to no supplemental education, whereas a surgical technologist has earned his or her degree from an accredited program. Surgical Assistants Surgical assistants are also members of the operating room team. These professionals can do all the work that surgical technologists do, but they often have a more hands-on role during the procedure. Surgical assistants help the surgeon with tasks such as these: Sponging Suturing Suctioning Holding retractors Hemostasis (staunching bleeding)Treating wounds Surgical assistants are also referred to as first assistants or non-physician surgical assistants. Some surgical assistants step into the job after earning a surgical assistant degree from a certified program, while others begin as surgical technologists and receive additional training on the job to work their way up to a first assistant position.

That is where you would have a better shot of getting reimbursed for the schooling. They do mostly similar things as it is though I don't know all the specifics. If you were to do that though, usually you have to work for a year or two as an RN before getting into a program.

But wildlife experts in Scotland have urged the public to help save swans by feeding them brown loaves instead of white. A lack of nutrients in white bread is leaving the birds crippled with a condition similar to rickets in humans. Their limbs become so weak that the birds are unable to dive for food. Leftover bread in the water can lead to poisonous blooms of blue-green-algae, posing another danger to the birds. The problem is particularly acute at the mouth of the River Ugie near Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, where scores of mute swans have been taking advantage of free food from the public. But officers of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have found that white bread has made them ill. Scott Elphinstone, an inspector based in Buchan, said: \"\"The birds have become reliant on white bread because that's what the public feed them. \"\" But they are becoming crippled due to a vitamin deficiency – white loaf is just not good for them. We would advise anyone who wishes to take down food to take along brown bread instead."

"text": "Health Effects of Caffeine Bladders Urology Caffeine Health Medicine and Healthcare Can excessive caffeine consumption cause overactive bladder problems, or is it in my case more anxiety related?4 Answers Tess Hansel, Taking back bladder control through distraction exercise and wholesome diet. Answered Oct 9, 2016Anxiety certainly plays a role in bladder conditions but caffeine, along with other food and drink, can be a real culprit when it comes to irritating the lining of your bladder. When you consume caffeine this has a direct impact on your blood pressure and your circulatory system which then causes increased bladder and bowel activity. The best thing to drink is filtered water as regular tap water usually contains a variety of chemicals. You may also need to increase your salt intake to hydrate properly, otherwise all that water will go straight through you and add to the problem. Good hydration is really important, not only for your bladder but for cell replacement as well. Also ensuring you’re well hydrated will stop any bladder irritations caused through concentrated urine. As caffeine is found in most commercial drinks - eg energy drinks, sodas etc, it’s probably a good idea to cut back on drinks containing caffeine or even use decaffeinated as a trial to see what improvements that change makes. Just be aware that even though a product says decaffeinated there will still be a small amount of caffeine in them. Chocolate and a variety of treats also contain caffeine so it’s really important to read the ingredients of commercially produced food and drink to see just what you are consuming."

"text": "What Do Swans Eat - 4 Food Options If You Plan On Feeding Swan Are you planning to raise some swans in your garden pond? In getting started, it is helpful to know first the basic details about swans so you can effectively raise and breed them successfully. For first time breeders or swan raisers, the food that swans mostly eat is a mystery for them. Some people are thinking that they feed on formulated feeds just like chickens and other birds. Actually, they are generally herbivorous, but there are some species that also eat insects and small aquatic animals. Being familiar with what to feed swans is crucial especially for people who plans to raise them in an artificial or man-made environment, as their usual foods are not naturally occurring. So what do swans eat? The following are the common foods that most swans eat: • Aquatic Plants - since swans spend most of their time in bodies of water like ponds and lakes, they also source out their food from here. They usually feed on stems, roots, leaves, tubers and other parts of any aquatic plants. This is not a problem for swan raised on natural bodies of water; however, people that raise their swans in man-made ponds or lakes must ensure that aquatic plants are present to serve as the swan's food. •"

Market streets were filled with people who sold food, both raw and cooked. However, not everyone had the access to this food, like peasants who suffered just to get enough food for their selves. Nobles and the rich had no trouble like that and had great feasts with his guests almost daily. The variety of food they ate and how they cooked could have been amazing to the people. One of the main issues connected to food during the Middle Ages was the preservation of food. Unlike today, people did not have methods to freeze their food all year round (besides the winter time when the temperature was very low). Food, such as meat and fruit, would have gone bad with very little time (especially during the summer) , which meant preservation was needed to export those goods for the market of foreign areas, as some ingredients are only found in some parts of the world 1. One method used to preserve meats was smoking. Increasing the speed of evaporation of liquid inside of the flesh decreased the chances of it to become rotten or rancid."

"text": "\"Rory Gilmore's Most Embarrassing Moment On 'Gilmore Girls' Is One Of The Show's Most Relatable By S. Atkinson July 13 2016When it comes to Gilmore Girls, nothing is more relatable than the show's most cringe-worthy. Case-in-point: Rory's most embarrassing moment, which took place during a dinner at Richard and Emily Gilmore's residence. It took place during the episode \"\"Swan Song\"\" (Season 3, Episode 14), when Emily confirmed what she's already known for \"\"11 dinners,\"\" according to her: Rory has stopped seeing Dean and started seeing Jess. It isn't long before Emily's backed Rory into a conversational corner, like the social goddess she is: Either Rory brings Jess to their next Friday night dinner, or else she'll meet him at some extremely public occasion, like Rory's graduation, and will bring all her friends and the Reverend along to meet him too. Wisely opting for private over public humiliation, Rory agrees to bring her new boyfriend along the next week. But, it's Gilmore Girls, and what fun would we have if Jess was in any way nice to his elders? Naturally, Jess shows up painfully late, sporting a black eye. Since the last Rory heard from him was when they had a jealousy-tinged conversation about her spending time with Dean, she's quick to jump to conclusions: Did Jess get into a fight with Dean? Jess is never the sweetest cookie in the jar anyway, and Rory's implied suspicions make him surlier than usual. The whole scenario is like a nightmare dreamt up by a group of imaginative writers drinking tons of coffee (go figure)."

The two sexes are alike in appearance, except that males are generally larger than females. The plumage is white. They are best distinguished from North American swans by the knob at the base of the upper bill, and the color of the bill itself, which is orange, with the tip and base colored black. The head and neck may sometimes be stained brown from water and mud containing iron.

It is located at the heart of both Turkey and Central Anatolia. The population is around 4.5 million. Ankara is the administrative center of Turkey and a huge university town, so it has a large population of government workers and university students. As the national capital, Ankara is home to a large population of foreign diplomats and embassy staff, so it offers goods and services that might be more difficult to find in other Turkish cities. Ankara is a sprawling, modern city which can appear as little more than a dull, concrete jungle at first glance. As a result, many tourists tend to use it merely as a transit point for getting to places like Konya or Cappodocia. However Ankara does have a lot to offer for those prepared to look a bit deeper. Ankara has a symbolic significance for the secular Turks. It is the place where a new era for the Turkish people started."

"text": "\"Natalie Portman Net Worth: Will ‘Black Swan’ Star Join Steve Jobs Biopic? Nov 28, 2014 12:53 PM EST | By Victoria Guerra TAG: Natalie Portman net worth, Natalie Portman, Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs biopic, Steve Jobs movie, Michael Fassbender, Danny Boyle, Apple, Steve Wozniak It seems like the Oscar-winning actress is in talks to be a part of the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic project that will reportedly be directed by Danny Boyle - as she waits for news regarding this possible new gig, what is Natalie Portman's net worth? The upcoming project about the man behind Apple is still very early in its production, and the details regarding it are quite scarce: while it is known that Danny Boyle is involved in the project, there's still no leading man to play Jobs himself, although according to Deadline it looks like it might be Michael Fassbender - but what will be the role that could increase Natalie Portman's net worth? It's unsure what's the role Portman's tipped to play, but seeing how talented she is and the way the casting decisions for the film are coming along so far (as well as the people behind cameras, considering Boyle's previous projects and the fact that the screenplay was written by Andy Sorkin), it's safe to assume that she'd be doing a great job. Potentially, the film could do great things for Natalie Portman's net worth. According to the IB Times, other actors in consideration for roles in the film are Oscar-nominated and \"\"Interstellar\"\" star Jessica Chastain and Seth Rogen - the latter is apparently tipped to play Steve Wozniak, the man who co-founded Apple alongside Jobs. However, in the meantime, what is Natalie Portman's net worth? Lately, Portman has been extremely busy, taking her first dip into directing, with a personal project called \"\"A Tale of Love and Darkness,\"\" which she'll also be starring. And that's only one of the films she has coming out in 2015: she'll be in two Terrence Malick films plus \"\"Jane Got a Gun,\"\" where she'll share the screen once more with her \"\"Star Wars\"\" co-star Ewan Mc Gregor. This year, the \"\"V for Vendetta\"\" actress starred in the film \"\"The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards. \"\""

There is 1 pending change awaiting review.navigation search DISEASES CAUSED BY UNCLEAN FOODYahweh God has given us instructions of what is good food for our bodies. In the beginning fruits and herbs bearing seed were ordained for mankind but after the flood, liberty was given to eat meat. Of all the clean animals and fowl, Noah was instructed to take seven of each specie so that they would breed quickly and there would be an abundance of clean 'meats' for man to eat. Genesis 9With the changes in the earth's canopy as a result of the flood, the vegetation was affected by the sun's rays and no longer contained the same amount of nutrition. Also, it would take time to cultivate vegetation under the new conditions. And so, man is given the liberty to eat meats, but prohibited from drinking their blood. Noah obviously understood the difference between the clean and the unclean animals (Genesis 7:2-3; 8:20). When the descendants of Abraham came out of their time of servitude in Egypt where they were subjected to the culture of their overlords, Yahweh gave them instructions for their lives to benefit them. Part of those instructions were the foods which were clean and those which were unclean for them to eat. \"\""

Working in restaurants drilled into my head how to set a table, and - whether you agree or not - I find it totally useful to this day when I'm quickly wanting to set up a table for a dinner party and have it all look good and organized. So I thought I'd put together some easy pointers and links to other good posts. Enjoy! ( Image credit: Maxwell Ryan)A Casual Setting This is the everyday table setting and follows just a few rules that are built on for the fancier settings: Plate - Right in the middle :)Fork - To the left at 9:00Knife & Spoon - To the right at 3:00 with the knife on the inside facing in (so the blade is safely towards the plate)Glass - On the upper right at 1:00Napkin - Underneath your forks, though you can technically play with your napkin and place it on plate or outside forks. ( Image credit: Maxwell Ryan)A Fancy Setting Built off of the above, this roadmap allows for all the other utensils needed at a fancy meal and follows the guide that you start on the outside and move inwards towards the plate during the course of the meal. Plates - In the middle with the smallest stacked on top, so that you have Charger under Entree Plate under Appetizer Plate. In this fashion each plate can be cleared and leave you with a new, clean one below. Bread plate goes to the top left at 10:00 with knife fork ON it.

They are sometimes also called anti-sway bars or anti-roll bars. Their purpose in life is to try to keep the car's body from \"\"rolling\"\" in a sharp turn. Think about what happens to a car in a sharp turn. If you are inside the car, you know that your body gets pulled toward the outside of the turn. The same thing is happening to all the parts of the car. So the part of the car on the outside of the turn gets pushed down toward the road and the part of the car on the inside of the turn rises up. In other words, the body of the car \"\"rolls\"\" 10 or 20 or 30 degrees toward the outside of the turn."

"text": "What Does a Sway Bar Do?by Doug Couchman on November 17, 2015Share Tweet Pin A sway bar (also called an anti-sway bar or anti-roll bar) is a component of some vehicles’ suspensions. You might guess that “sway” in a car or truck isn’t a good thing, so an anti-sway bar would be useful, and in the broadest terms that’s correct. But it’s also a bit more complicated than that. To understand the function and purpose of a sway bar, it’s helpful to consider what other parts comprise a vehicle’s suspension and what they do. Every vehicle suspension includes: Wheels and Tires. Tires provide traction (“grip”) that allows the car to accelerate, decelerate (slow down), and turn. They also absorb the shock from small bumps and other road irregularities. Springs. Springs protect the passengers and cargo from larger bumps. Shocks or struts."

"text": "\"Here's how a sway bar works. Normally, without a sway bar when the car corners the weight of the chassis shifts toward the outside of the turn compressing the springs on that side. The springs on the inside generally extend a little, or do nothing. Relatively to the chassis itself, it appears that the outside suspension compresses and the inside doesn't. A sway bar couples the suspensions on each side to each other, *AND* relative to the chassis. If you could put the car up on a lift and actually compress the suspension on one side by hand, then a sway bar makes the compression of one side also try to compress the suspension on the other. Ok.. it's still not really obvious why that's useful so I'll say the same thing a different way. A sway bar effectively increases the spring rate on whichever side is compressed the MOST. If the sway bar were absolutely solid with no twist so there's a 100% coupling between each side then an attempt to compress one spring actually becomes an attempt to compress both springs. It doubles the spring rate."

"text": "By Dave Pratte Tech November 26, 2014How Sway Bars Work and Why You Should Care If you’re reading this, chances are you appreciate the thrill of turning a fast corner as much as you enjoy laying down a big patch of rubber. There really is more to life than living it a quarter-mile at a time, and this realization is clearly becoming more and more widespread as the popularity of Drifting and Time Attack continue to grow. But carving the perfect corner isn’t as simple as screaming “yeehaw,” mashing the go-pedal to the floor and cranking the wheel in the direction you want to go, despite what the Dukes of Hazzard may have taught you. Nope, in the real world, handling balance and the dynamic behaviour of your car at speed while entering, executing and exiting a corner depends on a number of factors including roll stiffness, or how much your car resists lateral (or side-to-side) weight transfer and the body roll that comes with it. Shock absorbers, coil springs and suspension geometry all play critical roles in controlling weight transfer and limiting body roll, which in turn control wheel alignment and allow each tire to stay in more consistent contact with the road, maximizing mechanical grip in the process. Understanding and effectively adjusting the relationship between spring rates, shock damping, ride height and suspension geometry can be a daunting task for a newcomer to suspension tuning, which is exactly why upgrading anti-sway bars is such a popular modification. These relatively simple devices, alternatively known as sway bars, stabilizer bars, roll bars or anti-roll bars, bolt to the chassis in a central location across the front and rear axle lines and connect to each side of the front and rear suspension via endlinks. This design links the front left suspension and tire to the front right and the rear left suspension and tire to the rear right, helping control body roll while still allowing each corner of the car’s suspension to act independently. The way anti-sway bars achieve this function is by twisting, rather than compressing like a coil spring, so its torsional stiffness is what determines its lever force and thus the extent to which it limits body roll. As the suspension on one side of the vehicle compresses from lateral acceleration and body rolls as a result, the anti-sway bar lever arm on the compressed side of the car will twist upward as the control arm it’s attached to moves upward, while the lever at the other end of the anti-sway bar will twist downward as the suspension on the deweighted side of the car extends into droop."

Typically, the Product ID plate will contain such things as Exterior Color Code and Interior Code. Depending on the Model Year, it may also contain numbers that indicate what suspension and/or steering components are on the car. In many cases, numbers off of the Product ID Plate may be needed to determine what replacement parts are needed for your Volvo.

Mercedes-Benz sway bar bushings and links need to be replaced around 100,000 miles. As they wear and tear they tend to cause ratling and clunks when driving at low speeds. The main purpose of the sway bar is to avoid body roll. Due to the fact that the sway bar is connected to the suspention, every time you hit a bump it’s not only the strut or schock that takes the hit but also the sway bar bushings and links. Wonderig how a bad sway bar bushings looks? Here is an example: Picture of a damaged sway bar bushing, visible to the naked eye. How do you know you need your sway bushings and links replaced? You hear knocking, clunks, ratling noises coming from the front of the car when going over bumps. While sometimes you can visibly see a damaged sway bar bushing or link, this is not always the case."

The following day, I started noticing a subtle \"\"clunk\"\" noise from the left side of the front of the car when turning left at slow speeds.

It has now done it consistently for a week and almost seems to be more noticeable / louder when the car has been sitting for a few hours. Same \"\"clunk\"\" can also be heard when reversing and making a slow right hand turn of the steering wheel. Noise is not present at higher speeds albeit turning is not as sharp. I see there's a similar thread under the A5/MKV model. Before I leave it with the dealer again, any suggestions or ideas as to what the problem may be? ("

If you are having a tough time locating the area the noise is being produced from have a helper ride along in the rear seat to give a new perspective on the origin of the noise. Once a clicking sound has been detected action must be prompt to avoid further damage and a possible break down. SPONSORED LINKSSome clicking noises are normal such as: electrical relays, emergency flashers, turn signals and the air conditioner when first turned it on. The list below contains the most popular clicking sound while turning problems. Let's Get Started!1. CV Joint Failure: Most cars have four or more CV joints which are used to transfer engine power to the wheels. When these joints go bad they will make a clicking noise and more so when turning right or left, or when accelerating. They can also bind up on acceleration and when turning tightly."

Ditching the crosshair grille was a big deal. The Ram, and before it, the Dodge Ram, used the crosshairs up front since at least 1981. Even before that, several generations of the D-Series, the Ram’s predecessor, used it as well. In addition to the new grille, the reskinned Power Wagon gets new lighting and vertical graphics, 17-inch, 8-lug wheels with 33-inch Goodyear Dura Trac tires and a 12,000-pound Warn winch as standard equipment. For the first time, there are no ram’s head logos on the exterior, but if you're looking for a tell, the oversize block RAM letters on the tailgate are impossible to miss.

The French-speaking part of Belgium and France itself of course, are much closer to the Netherlands, but since French has latin roots, rather than the germanic roots of modern Dutch, there is no direct relation. South-African on the other hand is similar enough for Dutch and South-African speakers to have a meaningful conversation. Finland too, which shares its border with Sweden has nothing in common as far as Scandinavian languages are concerned. Finnish (Suomi) is part of the Finno-Ugric family, which for instance also comprises Hungarian. All this is the result of tribal movements over the past 2000 years or so, as well as colonial influences. Whereas Dutch belongs to the West-Germanic language family branch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian form part of the North-Germanic branch (collectively called Nordic). Although all Germanic languages share certain linguistic features at a syntactic level, the differences are far too great to effectively communicate with eachother. Dutch could be placed somewhere halfway between German and English, and a very close relative of Dutch, the Frisian language which is spoken in one of the northern provinces of the Netherlands, is considered by quite a few linguists to be the closest relative of modern English. To your average native speaker of Dutch, Scandinavian languages seem as foreign as Russian or Swahili for that matter.nuclearfuel · 1 decade ago3 2 1 comment Bit of an old question, but I'll give it a go from the viewpoint of a Scandinavian."

"text": "\"Sweden has lots of wealth inequalityby Tyler Cowen May 30, 2014 at 2:32 am in Data Source Economics History From Tino: Sweden is viewed as an egalitarian utopia by outsiders, but reality is complex. In some ways Sweden has less social equality than the United States. While the American upper class is largely meritocratic, the upper class in Sweden are still mostly defined by birth. Historically, Sweden, Norway and Finland alone in Europe never developed Feudalism (Denmark was closer to continental Europe). The Nordic nobility was a small share of the population and not as powerful as the nobility in continental Europe, though still influential. The upper class in Sweden today consists of the nobility and of wealthy bourgeoisie families that socially merged with them. Wealthy bourgeois families live in the same neighborhoods and have adopted similar behavior and identity as the nobility. Despite long Social Democratic dominance they remain a coherent social group, with a distinct and recognizable accent, way of dressing, values etc. Belonging to the upper-class is not defined merely by wealth, depending more on blood. Just as in historical times, a Nouveau riche member of the middle class will not automatically be accepted as a member of the upper-classes, unless they actively adapt their behavior and are accepted by the upper-classes socially."

While Danish and Norwegian Vikings struck west and south, Swedish Vikings moved east and played a major role in the development of Russia. These Vikings are know as the Rus and it is from this name that the name of Russia has been derived. Actually the Rus were Swedish Vikings meaning the northern Germanic tribes which setteled in Sweden. The Term Rus was not what they called themselves, but the name given them by the Finns.

Four years later, the dog-eared dictionary had grammar notes scribbled in the margins and I had become a fluent Swedish speaker, more or less. The process of learning Swedish was not entirely painless. I once asked my hairdresser if she had time to put ‘flingor’ in my hair. Turns out, the word I really wanted was ‘slingor’, for ‘highlights’. Instead, I had asked her to put breakfast cereal in my hair. Swedish Word of the Day A big part of the reason my spoken Swedish got good is that I quickly met Swedish friends who were willing to help me practise. One of our techniques was keeping track of our ‘Swedish Word of the Day’ on a list tacked to the kitchen cupboard. I came across the list a few months ago while sorting through some old papers. It was fun not only to see how far my Swedish progressed since then, but also because it provided a record of the conversations my friends and I had around the dinner table in our shared flat."

Obviously the two productions differ in a number of basic ways and it's worth highlighting these as a given. For the most part Swedish Wallander uses Mankel's stories as inspiration, creating unique plots per episode, whilst British Wallander uses the source material and thus far has for the most part faithfully adapted 6 of Mankel's books (interestly the choice has been to adapt out of sequence, although the original stories were also published out of sequence, in Britian at least). An exception is the depiction of Kurt's father and his struggle with dementia, which logically has to progress through the overall TV series. A second key difference is the interpretation of Kurt Wallander's relationship with his daughter. Swedish TV puts Linda into the police force from the outset, and uses this device to explore their legendary troubled relationship with the added frisson of professional, hierarchical tensions. Also into the mix is the relationship between Linda and her colleague Stefan Lindman. British Wallander maintains the original Linda/Kurt story arc, with Linda not yet having enrolled for police duty. A third difference is the inclusion/exclusion of the Ann-Britt Höglund character. It seems the Swedish version quickly came to view this character as unnecessary within the looser story structure, as she is dispensed with well before Series One concludes."

Here is a short story of how it came to happen. Traffic in Sweden – if the word can be applied for horses, oxen and carts – started to use the right side of the road in 1718 and did so until 1734, when suddenly left-hand traffic was introduced. Why? No one really knows. Maybe it was to have the swordhand – right for most people – closest to the enemy when meeting on horseback. And on the left side it stayed for more than 200 years. In 1916, however, the Swedish parliament acknowledged left-hand traffic by law, but every year between 1920 and 1939, the parliament discussed whether to stay on the left side or move over to the right side of the road, which Sweden's neighbour countries in Scandinavia and the rest of the continent were already using.

As Mathew Shember said, in current times the black and white American flag is taken as a symbol for the economic recession that the country is going through as well as a symbol of freedom of expression. It can as well be interpreted as a representation of the past, present and future of all the Black Americans living in America. Note that there is also the “Thin Blue Line Flag” (see The Thin Blue Line ), a black and white flag with a blue line running through it : The Blue represents police officers and the courage they find deep inside when faced with insurmountable odds. The Black background was designed as a constant reminder of their fallen brother and sister officers. The Line is what police officers protect, the barrier between anarchy and a civilized society, between order and chaos, between respect for decency and lawlessness.

The word \"\"Angola\"\" derives from the title used by the rulers of the Ndongo state. The title ngola was first mentioned in Portuguese writings in the sixteenth century. A Portuguese colony founded on the coast in 1575 also came to be known as Angola. At the end of the nineteenth century, the name was given to a much larger territory that was envisaged to come under Portuguese influence. These plans materialized slowly; not until the beginning of the twentieth century did Portuguese colonialism reach the borders of present-day Angola. In 1975, this area became an independent country under the name República Popular de Angola (People's Republic of Angola). Later the \"\"Popular\"\" was dropped. Angola may not classify as either a country or a culture. Since 1961, war has destroyed cultural institutions, forced people to flee, and divided the territory between the belligerent."

About 1.75 million years ago, early man spread throughout parts of Africa. They became aggressive hunters, lived in caves and used fire and their ability to create stone tools just to survive. The Neanderthals arose some 200,000 years ago and inhabited regions in northern Africa and across parts of southern Europe. There is also clear evidence that they had control of fire, lived in caves, as well as open-air structures of stone and vegetation. One of the most important developments of primitive man was the creation of stone tools. By 5000 BC farming was somewhat common in the northern areas of Africa, as people were growing crops and herding livestock. During that time the Sahara Desert was a fertile area. Ancient African History In 3200 BC the Egyptian culture emerged along the lower reaches of the Nile River; it was among the earliest civilizations and their tools and weapons were made of bronze. They also pioneered the building of massive pyramids and temples."

The Mexican coat of arms depicts a part of the founding myth of Tenochtitlan, which is Mexico City today: According to the legend, the sun god Huitzilopochtli told the Mexica (Aztec people) to found their city in the place where they would find an eagle devouring a snake on a cactus. ( Edit: it doesn't seem to be clear that it should be a snake, sources differ on this. Snakes were associated with the winged snake god Quetzalcoatl, so it is unlikely to be a snake in the original myth, the Spanish however made it a snake to fit Christian symbolism). The christian Europeans put their own symbolism into the picture, a triumph of good, symbolized by the eagle, over evil, symbolized by the snake (think the snake tempting Adam and Eve to defy God).940 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What kind of eagle is on the Mexican flag?

"text": "Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality What Does the American Flag Symbolize? The Symbolic Impact of Burning an American Flag Share Flipboard Email Print Rachel Hink / Eye Em / Getty Imagesby Austin Cline Updated March 12, 2018Humans could not exist without symbols. These representations of objects and concepts allow us to explore relationships between things and ideas in ways not otherwise possible. The American flag is, of course, a symbol, but a symbol of what? The answers to these questions are at the heart of debates between supporters and opponents of laws outlawing burning or desecration of the American flag. What is a Symbol? A symbol is an object or image that represents something else (an object, a concept, etc.). Symbols are conventional, which means that one thing represents something else because people agree to treat it that way. There is nothing inherent in the symbol that requires it to represent the symbolized thing, and there is nothing inherent in the symbolized thing which requires that a particular object represent it. Some symbols are closely connected to what they represent, for example, the cross is a symbol of Christianity because a cross is believed to have been used to execute Jesus."

"text": "\"Orientation Identification. The name \"\"Portugal\"\" derives from a Roman or pre-Roman settlement called Portus Cale (the modern city of Porto) near the mouth of the Douro River. The Romans referred to this region as the province of Lusitania, and the prefix Luso (meaning \"\"Portuguese\"\") is still used in some contexts. In the ninth century, during the reconquest (714–1140 C. E. ), Christian forces dominated the area between the Minho River, which forms the border of modern Portugal in the north, and the Douro River, and the region became known as Territorium Portucalense . In 1095, the king of Castile and Leon granted Portucale (northern Portugal) to a Burgundian count. Despite the diversity of invading populations and distinct regional economies and ways of living, Portugal is a homogeneous nation with a single national cultural identity and no ethnolinguistic groups. Location and Geography. Continental Portugal at 35,516 square miles (91,986 square kilometers) occupies approximately a sixth of the Iberian peninsula. Since the majority of the population was rural until the 1960s, geography has been an important factor in cultural adaptations and worldview. The northwest (the province of Minho) is lush, green, densely populated, and the major source of emigrants."

It's also D-colored, or entirely colorless, Lucapa said. That is the rarest -- and likely most valuable -- color grade for a white diamond, according to the Gemological Institute of America. The Lulo Diamond Project began exploring a 1,148 square-mile plot of land in central Angola in 2015, and the area has so far produced more than 60 \"\"large special diamonds,\"\" the company said. Lucapa, a relatively tiny diamond exploration company, is traded on Australia's ASX stock exchange under the symbol LOM. It suspended trading a few days in advance of the announcement. When Lucapa resumed trading on Monday, its shares jumped 30%."

"text": "The Ultimate Cobra Snake Facts Guide By Grant Monday, April 8 th, 2013286SHARESShare Tweet Cobra Snake Facts: A Guide Cobra – for many, this word alone conjures up an image in the mind’s eye of a snake standing proudly with a hood spread wide. It may even arouse an array of emotion from reverence to fear to respect, love and even hate. And although these iconic snakes are quite familiar to us, there is still very little known about them. Many so-called cobra snake facts are nothing more than hearsay. There is some confusion/ debate around what a cobra snake actually is – what characteristics allow us to call some snakes cobras and not others? Cobra de capelo translated from Portuguese means “snake with hood” a term which loosely places a variety of snakes into the cobra bracket. By this definition snakes like the king cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah ),the rinkhals ( Hemachatus haemachatus) and the Cape coral snake ( Aspidelaps lubricus) are all cobras. Yes you say, of course they are!But what about the black mamba ( Dendroaspis polylepis ) then? Look closely – it also has the ability to spread a small hood. Is it a cobra?"

It is based on the black over red over green flag of KANU (Kenya African National Union), the party that led the fight for freedom and independence. The colours symbolize black majority, blood and natural wealth. On independence the white fimbriation was added, symbolizing peace.

"text": "Exclusive Flipping the Flop: How Disney's Newsies Went from the Big-Screen to Broadway and Back Again An unanticipated problem was encountered, check back soon and try again Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_UNKNOWNSession ID: 2018-04-11:c66e17126e8c40ad6b32979 Player ID: jumpstart_video_1OKDave Quinn February 13, 2017 05:04 PMDisney’s 2012 Tony-winning Broadway musical Newsies makes its debut on the big screen this week, playing in movie theaters nationwide for three days beginning Thursday as part of a new partnership between Fathom Events and Disney Theatrical Productions. It’s an unexpected move for the cult favorite, which had a long journey to success. Newsies was primed to be the High School Musical hit of 1992 — with a cast of singing and dancing teens (including a young Christian Bale), a score by composer Alan Menken ( Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Jack Feldman, and future HSM director Kenny Ortega at the helm. But the film turned out to be a massive box-office flop when it hit theaters in April of that year, opening to negative reviews and becoming one of the studio’s lowest-grossing films of all time. Still, there was a generation of kids who fell in love with Newsies in theaters and on home video — including actors Jeremy Jordan, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Kara Lindsay and Ben Fankhauser. They, like many, gravitated toward the “David and Goliath” story of 19th-century newspaper kids unionizing against publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer. Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Kara Lindsay, Ben Fankhauser and Jeremy Jordan Source: Andrew Keenan-Bolger Instagram“I really latched on to it,” Jordan, 32, tells PEOPLE. “ Growing up in south Texas, I liked to sing but it wasn’t cool —I got made fun of for it. And finally there was a movie that showed young guys being masculine and being cool but also doing the things that I loved to do. So it was formative for me in shaping who I wanted to be and the things that I wanted to pursue."

Until we have our own experience with grief, we can't even guess the turmoil one's heart will go through when someone they love dies. And although we can sympathize with them, we still do not know how deep and cutting the loss can be. Still, our hearts tell us we need to do more to help those who face grief. Our hearts tell us we need to bear the burden with them by offering something of ourselves to be strong against the sorrow. Our hearts tell us that as we remain, we need to tell all who live that we too remember the lost loved ones, will remember them always. Our hearts tell us that we need to give something more than ourselves, something that will show those who are grieving that we honor the occasion of the deceased's passing. Sympathy gift ideas. Our hearts tell us. We want to give something as a gesture of assistance, but what sympathy gifts can we give?"

Use words of sympathy, it will help you provide the necessary encouragement to your loved one. The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her. ~ Anonymous A mother holds perhaps, the most important place in a child's life. The loss of a mother, then is perhaps the biggest loss anyone has to deal with. Unfortunately, the death of a parent is something most children have to see and experience. While some people naturally hold the capacity to endure such a heavy loss, for some it is indeed a tough period to get through. No matter what kind of person the sufferer is, a few words of sympathy from close ones are always comforting. With the knowledge that there is someone who shares the grief, and is there for support in such trying times, indeed gives the sufferer the strength and courage to pull through. For most of you, deciding what to say when a person loses her/his mother is difficult, because it is an extremely sensitive time and you don't want to say anything that will deepen the grief of the sufferer."

"text": "Yes, the Confederate battle flag that flies over the grounds of the state Capitol in Columbia, S. C., should be taken down and sent to a museum. The state’s two most prominent Republican leaders, Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Lindsey Graham, have finally come around to the rightness of this action, spurred on by the deaths of nine African Americans at a Charleston church who were gunned down by a 21-year-old white supremacist. The Confederate flag has been waved defiantly by so many murderous racists over many dark decades that it long ago became an irredeemable symbol of everything that was wrong with the Old South. Still, I have a small bit of sympathy for those who are genuinely bewildered by the antagonism to a banner that, for them, represents the bravery and sacrifice of their ancestors. This is not because my family has any ties to the Confederacy. On the contrary, my great-grandfather fought in the army of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman on his famously destructive march to the sea. ( I raised the ire of a cartoonist colleague of mine -- a proud son of Georgia -- when, during a trip to Atlanta years ago, I joked that the last time one of my relatives had been in the city he helped burn the place down.) My limited sympathy comes not from family history, but from a childhood preoccupation. I was an avid student of the Civil War from the fourth grade on. I devoured books about the conflict."

When someone, who is very close to you, loses a loved one, you find it difficult to find words that can help you express your feelings. Even though conveying condolence is not easy, you cannot run away from it. Keeping mum or running away from the situation is not a solution, since you must acknowledge the fact of death.

One of the attackers at the Bataclan is understood to be a 30-year-old French national, who was known to French police because of links to Islamic radicals. A Syrian and an Egyptian passport were found on the bodies of the two suicide bombers who targeted the Stade de France. The Syrian passport belonged to a refugee who passed through Greece, according to a Greek minister. German authorities say they have ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ a man arrested in Bavaria earlier this month, in a car loaded with explosives, may be linked to the Paris attacks. David Cameron has said the UK must be braced for British casualties, without going into specifics. Romanians, Tunisians, Belgians and a Swede are among the dead. A 41-year-old man from France is being questioned by police after “what appears to be a firearm” was discovered at Gatwick airport, Sussex police said.

"text": "By Robert Mc Cartney Senior Regional Correspondent August 6, 2014 Email the author Hubert Wayne Cash, 65, a Navy veteran and retired phone company worker, spent an hour at his home Tuesday explaining why he allowed the recent erection of a giant Confederate battle flag in his wooded back yard north of Fredericksburg overlooking busy Interstate 95.“I’ve got 50 ancestors who fought in the Civil War,” Cash said. “ I honor their heritage. ”Lights are being installed so the provocative banner will be visible at night. Cash said he leased the ground at a token price to the Virginia Flaggers, who share his sympathies for Southern secession, so the flag can fly “for at least 100 years. ”The gray-bearded Cash was gracious and thoughtful. I applaud his willingness to answer skeptical questions from an incorrigibly pro-Yankee news columnist. But I still think Cash and his allies are wrong to display the flag. It’s the principal emblem today of a hateful cause — the protection of slavery — from which it cannot be divorced. A Confederate Battle Flag is seen on Interstate 95 between Quantico and Fredricksburg in Virginia in July 2014.

They never really grew up, and that's the problem. Each member of the family realized notoriety, even fame and glimpses of glory. But this is no family, and they resemble no family among our acquaintances. They live lives cluttered by the elaborate ornamentation of isolated, self-centered existence. They fit themselves within the borders of a family portrait, yet the only thing they share is a mutual loathing of the family patriarch, Royal Tenenbaum. Yet, as we look into the stylized and eccentric lives of these sad, quirky, and silly people, we recognize a humanness that is common, a plight so ordinary we might miss it were it not drawn large for us upon the creative canvas of Wes Anderson.

"text": "How To Help A Person With A Serious Burn Injury Wellness For Parents Professionals Caregivers Printable Version By Kathy J. Edwards, PHDBurn survivors say that a strong support system of family and friends is one of the most important factors in a successful recovery from a burn injury. Many burn survivors report surprise that people they didn’t know very well before their injury turn out to be helpful and caring, while others they thought of as good friends seem to disappear. One of the most important things you can do for a burn patient is to make contact in some way. A hospital visit isn’t the only way to show you care. You can also call or send a card. The most important thing is to let the person know you’re thinking about them. HOSPITAL VISITSCheck with the hospital to find out whether or not the patient is allowed to have visitors and the best time to visit. Sometimes patients are not allowed to have visitors if they are undergoing surgery, are heavily medicated, or if they have had too many visitors. Once patients have recovered from surgery they begin a rigorous physical therapy routine. In general, late afternoon or early evening are good times for visitors but the hospital can give you more exact information."

"text": "\"Yellow journalism is exaggerated or biased media reporting that is disguised as fact. Originating out of an intense competition between rival newspapers in the late 1800s, it involves taking a factual story and presenting it in a sensational or distorted way. It may be used to invoke fear, loathing, uncertainty or even sympathy in readers, but often, the bottom line is an attempt to boost sales or viewership and gain more market share. Although people generally regard this type of reporting as unprofessional and a violation of journalistic ethics, it appears frequently today, with perhaps the best example being tabloids. General Characteristics Although the tactics that people in the media use to capture a reader or viewer's attention can vary a bit from location to location, typically, yellow media features very bold, large pictures and headlines, and layouts are designed to immediately grab the reader's interest. In the case of radio, Internet and television, journalists sometimes use flashing banners and sound alerts, as well. The company that is providing the news often openly promotes itself and tries to make itself look more credible by presenting \"\"experts\"\" who aren't truly qualified to provide information. Claims usually are exaggerated and melodramatic, and there generally are few to no citations. History Experts generally attribute the beginning of yellow journalism to William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. The industrial revolution brought about a printing press that could create thousands of copies of a newspaper overnight."

"text": "\"What is a Computer Systems Analyst? Computer systems analysts leverage both their knowledge of information technology and business to design better computer systems and processes for their clients. And although these professionals have many responsibilities, their first task is to understand their client's business, whether it's an organization in Silicon Valley or a firm on Wall Street. And they'll specifically want to learn how the organization uses technology. Analysts will then research the best technologies to help the organization's overall computer system – the hardware, the software and the networks – run more efficiently and effectively. But their job doesn't stop at research. These professionals also employ their business acumen to prepare a cost and benefits analysis for the upgrades. And if management approves the upgrades, computer systems analysts will oversee the installation of the new systems. They also test the systems and train their organization in them. And when the inevitable hiccups arise, computer systems analysts are the ones who troubleshoot the problems."

Compensation packages are based on educational level and experience and can be very high for people with advanced degrees and special sets of skills.

They examine existing policy and are involved in research designed to identify the things that need to be addressed with new ones.

Demand for consulting services is expected to grow as organizations seek ways to improve efficiency and control costs. As markets become more competitive, firms will need to use resources more efficiently. Demand for management analysts is expected to be strong in healthcare. This industry segment is experiencing higher costs in part because of an aging population. In addition, more management analysts may be needed to help navigate the regulatory environment within health insurance. Information technology (IT) consultants are also expected to see high demand. Businesses will seek out consulting firms to help them attain a high level of cyber security, and make sure their IT systems are efficient and up to date. Growth will be particularly strong in smaller consulting companies that specialize in specific industries or types of business function, such as information technology or human resources.

"text": "\"What are requirements? In the world of business analysis, requirements define precisely what you are going to create or accomplish—what the effort will include, what it will not include, how it will be done, and by whom. Requirements often also include ancillary (but relevant) information such as possible risks to the project and criteria by which to measure the project's success. To illustrate this information for the reader, requirements may include not only clearly written text, but charts, graphs, diagrams, use cases, and mock-ups, to name just a few tools in the business analyst's box. BABOK 2.0 defines requirements as including but not being limited to \"\"past, pres¬ent, and future conditions or capabilities in an enterprise, and descriptions of organiza¬tional structures, roles, processes, policies, rules, and information systems.\"\" In short, requirements can be about any existing or future system, product, process or procedure. To write effective requirements, a business analyst must define a project's need as well as the solution. For the purpose of illustration, we will use an example everyone is familiar with (rather than the more common software system). Suppose you were an analyst for a cooperative group of local produce farmers. Your manager came to you and said, \"\"I want you to write requirements for building a local grocery store with heavy emphasis on our farmers' produce.\"\""

"text": "\"What is an Information Security Analyst? Information security analysts are the gatekeepers or security guards of information systems. To explain it another way: These professionals plan and execute security measures to shield an organization's computer systems and networks from infiltration and cyberattacks. They prevent, monitor and respond to data breaches and cyberattacks, which are becoming more common. The Ashley Madison website was hacked in 2015, while Sony experienced a major attack in 2014, as did JPMorgan Chase & Co. And no one can forget all the shoppers compromised in Target's major data breach in 2013. Andrea Hoy, president of the Information Systems Security Association's international board of directors, was always interested in how things worked. As a child, she would take apart malfunctioning toys and piece them back together, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully. \"\" I may have hid the leftover parts in my closet,\"\" she says, jokingly. Later, this interest turned to computers, where she enjoyed the challenge of capturing viruses and dissecting malware. The U. S. government, health care organizations, financial systems and other companies are growing more reliant on information security analysts to protect their information systems against hackers and cyberattacks."

Getting an IT degree, whether a traditional or online degree, presents such a wide variety of career options, it can be difficult to know which one to pursue. While your choice will depend a great deal on the skills you have and the work environment you prefer, your job outlook is extremely positive no matter what you choose. There are a variety of positions you can choose within the IT industry, from computer scientist to software engineer. One IT job that is thriving in recent years is that of a computer systems analyst —in fact, recent reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics say that “employment of computer systems analysts is projected to grow 21 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. ”What is a computer systems analyst? You've probably heard of many IT careers, but a computer systems analyst may not be one you’re familiar with. Computer systems analysts are responsible for determining how a business' computer system is serving the needs of the company, and what can be done to make those systems and procedures more effective. They work closely with IT managers to determine what system upgrades are financially feasible and what technologies are available that could increase the company's efficiency.

Add Would you believe me if I told you that some of the most important healthcare staff never see patients but instead provide health data stewardship? These data stewards may not even sit within hospital or clinics? What if I told you that some of the most vital roles in supporting improved care delivery never went to medical school? Truth is, every healthcare organization has them — content experts that know every nook and cranny of data collection for mission critical software systems. These healthcare data stewards are the unsung heroes of healthcare. The majority of their work is often taken for granted. That is, when they do their job well, things go smoothly, so clinicians and hospital staff can document patient care and ensure proper billing/collection. These knowledge experts, in a real sense, are stewards over critical systems of patient records. Finding healthcare data stewards within a health system How do you find these stewards?"

Technical skills help systems analysts understand the potential and the limitations of information technology. The systems analyst must be able to work with various programming languages, operating systems, and computer hardware platforms. Management skills help systems analysts manage projects, resources, risk, and change.

In larger organizations, though the roles sometimes blur in that analysts in both categories access data, what the analysts do with that data is quite different. Their skill-set, and sometimes, even people with whom they work, are also sometimes different. Business Analyst Tasks Tasks assigned to business analysts include assessing the requirements of the organization with respect to its operations and functions. The analysts then translate the requirements to physical and financial aspects, such as software and hardware specifications, and often help find the best financing options. The design and implementation of new systems also falls under the job description of business analysts. The lines between a business analyst and a programmer are often blurred as business analysts sometimes provide coding for the new systems and applications they design. Business analysts also test legacy and new systems and recommend changes after their assessment.

"text": "\"Recent Posts | Search | Subscribe (RSS)An Overview of Requirements Elicitation Featured 112612 Views 7 Comments 37 Likes What is Elicitation? A thorough discovery of business requirements is almost never readily available at an analyst’s fingertips—rarely can requirements be quickly looked up as one would gather information for a term paper or study for a test. Much of business or technical requirements is not documented anywhere—it resides in the minds of stakeholders, in feedback that has yet to be obtained from end users, and from a study of flowcharts and surveys that have yet to be created. And so requirements must be elicited, or drawn out, and the methodology in doing so must be logical and meticulous. The importance of elicitation cannot be overstated, for it is the linchpin to any requirements project. As one scholarly article notes: “Mistakes made in elicitation have been shown many times to be major causes of systems failure or abandonment and this has a very large cost either in the complete loss or the expense of fixing mistakes.” Adequate study and preparation for elicitation can go a long way to preventing these types of errors. The purpose of requirements elicitation, therefore, is to thoroughly identify the business needs, risks, and assumptions associated with any given project. Prepare for Elicitation The first step in requirements elicitation is gleaning a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the project’s business need. During the elicitation process, an analyst’s strong understanding of the business need will help her guard against scope creep and gold plating, as well as select the proper stakeholders and elicitation techniques."

"text": "\"Career Overview: Supply Chain Management Posted by The Editors on December 3, 2012Overview Behold leaf cutter ants. At the command of their queen, the ants march in lockstep, cut leaves from rainforest trees, and, in a perfectly ordered line, carry the right number of tasty leaves in their mandibles back to the colony and their discerning queen. As a species, humans have no such innate sense of how to move products from their source to end users. Supply chain managers seek to create what ants do naturally: They attempt to integrate and optimize all the steps required to produce the right amount of the right product and deliver it to the end user at the right time. In other words, supply chain management (SCM) is involved in every aspect of getting products to customers, from raw materials to consumption. As one insider defines it, \"\"Supply chain management is interested in everything that happens to a product from cradle to grave.\"\" Whereas the field of logistics was born in World War II as part of the effort to get the right amount of supplies to the troops at the right time, supply chain management took the novel approach of looking further back into the life of a product to its manufacture and even product design while integrating what were once thought to be unrelated disciplines: marketing and customer service. In the field of retailing, Wal-Mart, the largest company on the Fortune 500, has elevated supply chain management to a strategic imperative-a tactic responsible for much of the company's success. By carefully managing its suppliers and distribution practices, it has been able to reduce its costs and offer its customers products at prices far below those of any other retailer. In the manufacturing industry, Dell has become the largest computer maker in the world based on the simple conceit of eliminating retailers and distributors; in doing so, Dell reduced inventory costs on highly obsolescent products."

"text": "\"Dendritic Cells Initiate the Immune Response Dendritic cells are professional antigen processing cells. They have a number of receptors that enhance the uptake of antigens, and they are specialized to convert these antigens into MHC-peptide complexes that can be recognized by lymphocytes. However, the dendritic cells need to do more than present antigens to T cells. They are also potent accessory cells that directly trigger and control responses by T cells and by all other types of lymphocytes. Some early studies showed that dendritic cells carry on their surface high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) products, which are critically recognized by T-lymphocytes. The high levels of MHC led Steinman to test these cells in the mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR), a well-known clinical assay for identifying the compatibility of tissue transplants between donors and recipients. At the time, this assay was known as mixed \"\"lymphocyte\"\" reaction, because it presumed that the B lymphocytes were presenting MHC products from the organ transplant donor to the recipient's T cells. Instead, Steinman found that dendritic cells were the major stimulators and were unusually potent. In fact, a dendritic cell to T cell ratio of 1 to 100 sufficed to initiate vigorous and optimal responses. Moreover, the dendritic cells directly activated both the subset of helper T cells as well as the killer T cells."

Neurons (also known as neurones, nerve cells and nerve fibers) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that function to process and transmit information. In vertebrate animals, neurons are the core structural components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Neurons are typically composed of a soma, or cell body, a dendritic tree and an axon. The majority of vertebrate neurons receive input on the cell body and dendritic tree, and transmit output via the axon. However, there is great heterogeneity throughout the nervous system and the animal kingdom, in the size, shape and function of neurons. Neurons communicate via chemical and electrical synapses, in a process known as synaptic transmission. The fundamental process that triggers synaptic transmission is the action potential, a propagating electrical signal that is generated by exploiting the electrically excitable membrane of the neuron."

"text": "\"Neurons By Sharon Furtak California State University, Sacramento This module on the biological basis of behavior provides an overview of the basic structure of neurons and their means of communication. Neurons, cells in the central nervous system, receive information from our sensory systems (vision, audition, olfaction, gustation, and somatosensation) about the world around us; in turn, they plan and execute appropriate behavioral responses, including attending to a stimulus, learning new information, speaking, eating, mating, and evaluating potential threats. The goal of this module is to become familiar with the anatomical structure of neurons and to understand how neurons communicate by electrochemical signals to process sensory information and produce complex behaviors through networks of neurons. Having a basic knowledge of the fundamental structure and function of neurons is a necessary foundation as you move forward in the field of psychology. Action potential Neurotransmitter Resting membrane potential Synapse Learning Objectives Differentiate the functional roles between the two main cell classes in the brain, neurons and glia. Describe how the forces of diffusion and electrostatic pressure work collectively to facilitate electrochemical communication. Define resting membrane potential, excitatory postsynaptic potentials, inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, and action potentials. Explain features of axonal and synaptic communication in neurons. Introduction Imagine trying to string words together into a meaningful sentence without knowing the meaning of each word or its function (i.e., Is it a verb, a noun, or an adjective?). In a similar fashion, to appreciate how groups of cells work together in a meaningful way in the brain as a whole, we must first understand how individual cells in the brain function."

Pyramidal cells are found in the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus, the entorhinal cortex, the olfactory cortex, and other areas. [ 2] Dendrite arbors formed by apical dendrites are the means by which synaptic inputs into a cell are integrated.

Adaptive immunity to a particular antigen develops only after exposure to that antigen. \"\" On first exposure to a given microbe or any other antigen, systemic evidence of the adaptive immune response takes a week or more to develop; during this delay the host depends on the protection provided by innate immunity, which may not be sufficient to prevent disease.\"\" A week or so after the initial exposure to an antigen the mechanisms of the adaptive immune response have developed enough to help the body deal with the antigen. Adaptive immune responses help the person stop an infection. Certain cells (memory cells) that develop during the initial (primary) adaptive immune response remain in the body. If that particular antigen again enters the body memory cells can quickly initiate an adaptive immune response against that particular antigen."

There are three lines of defense: the first is to keep invaders out (through skin, mucus membranes, etc), the second line of defense consists of non-specific ways to defend against pathogens that have broken through the first line of defense (such as with inflammatory response and fever). The third line of defense is mounted against specific pathogens that are causing disease (B cells produce antibodies against bacteria or viruses in the extracellular fluid, while T cells kill cells that have become infected). The immune system is closely tied to the lymphatic system, with B and T lymphocytes being found primarily within lymph nodes. Tonsils and the thymus gland are also considered lymph organs and are involved in immunity. We often don't realize how effective the immune system is until it fails or malfunctions, such as when the lymphocytes are attacked by HIV in an AIDS patient. The Immune System as a Castle [ edit]The immune system is a silent wonder. While we are very aware of our heart beating and the breaths we take, we are much less aware of our immune system that protects us from thousands of potentially deadly attacks every day. In this chapter we will discuss the immune system we each possess that is working around the clock, protecting us from disease and death. A good way to start understanding the immune system is to liken it to a castle."

Oliver 2, *+ Author Affiliations*Department of Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016; and†University of Berlin (Charité), Berlin, Germany Next Section Abstract Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause, characterized by granuloma formation similar to tuberculosis, but without clear evidence of a microbial infection. Because sarcoidosis is linked with clinical anergy and other evidence of diminished cellular immunity, we hypothesized that decreased skin delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to recall Ags in affected individuals would be associated with decreased function of their blood dendritic cells (DCs). Our study involved ex vivo isolation, phenotyping, and functional testing of myeloid DCs (m DCs), plasmacytoid DCs, and T lymphocytes from blood of normal healthy volunteers and sarcoidosis subjects with active, untreated pulmonary disease. We found m DC function in the allogeneic MLR directly corresponded to the magnitude of skin DTH reactions to recall Ags in both sarcoidosis subjects and normal volunteers. However, both of these outcomes were significantly decreased in the sarcoidosis group. Diminished m DC function occurred despite up-regulated costimulatory and maturation markers. Clinical relevance is suggested by the inverse relationship between both m DC allogeneic responses and skin DTH responses with clinical disease severity as measured by chest radiograms. Because granulomas form when cellular immunity fails to clear antigenic stimuli, attenuated m DC function in sarcoidosis may contribute to susceptibility and persistence of the chronic inflammation characteristic of this disease. Previous Section Next Section Introduction Granuloma formation results when the cellular immune response fails to eliminate antigenic stimuli such as foreign bodies or microorganisms. Granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis, a multisystem disease of unknown etiology, occurs in the absence of clearly defined immunological targets ( 1 )."

Distinguish between the composition of the three fluids. interstitial fluid and plasma create pressures that encourage movement of lymph fluid; plasma has proteins, interstitial fluid has proteins, lymph -interstitial: water, fatty acids, salts -plasma: proteins, enzymes, nutrients, hormones, gases -lymph: similar to plasma (considered interstitial until it enters lymphatic vessels)Describe the structure of lymphatic capillaries. Compare and contrast the structure of lymphatic and blood capillaries. lymphatic capillaries are more permeable (endothelial cells are not tightly joined - minivalves vs. blood capillaries that have tight junctions/gap junctions), are very wide spread; not present in RBM, bones, entire CNSDescribe the process of lymph formation (i.e., how/why fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries). When fluid pressure in interstitial space is greater than pressure in lymphatic capillary minivalve flaps open, fluid enters lymphatic capillary. When fluid pressure is greater in lymphatic capillary, minivalves close, preventing lymph from leaking back out as pressure moves it along the vessel. ("

"text": "Just Skin Deep — Your Immune System at the Surface Posted June 5, 2015 by Rachel Cotton in Biology, Blog Pick of the Month, Body, Medicine, PLo S, PLo S Blogs, Research Blogging, Student Column, Students, The Student Blog The skin is the human body’s largest organ. At 1.8 square meters for the average adult, skin covers about as much area as a large closet, and accounts for 12-15% of total body weight. The incredible variation in skin — oily, moist, or dry, exposed to light and cold, or dark and warm — even on an individual, creates unique habitats for the thousands of bacterial and fungal species (called commensal microbiota) that live on our skin. The skin immune system may control skin microbes, but our skin commensals can also educate our immune system. How our skin orchestrates this dialogue with microorganisms and physical insult is integral to its function, and to our health. The skin is an immunologic organ. There are an estimated 20 billion T cells in human skin — far greater than the number of T cells in the blood — suggesting that immune defense in the skin is a high priority. The interaction among skin microorganisms and the immune system is likely not adversarial most of the time. Interestingly, the incidence of inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis in children has about doubled in the last thirty years, in parallel with the decreased exposure to microorganisms in early life. Photo credit: London Dermatology Clinic How we understand the dynamic interactions among microbes and immune cells in human skin will have important implications not only for the treatment of autoimmune disorders, skin allergies, and skin malignancies, but also for the creation of better vaccine adjuvants exploiting skin immunity."

Monocytes perform their functions by surrounding and engulfing bacteria (a process known asphagocytosis). Monocytes can engage in phagocytosis by coating the foreign material with complement orantibodies. Antibodies are types of proteins that are formed by the body to destroy foreign proteins knownas antigens (a process known as antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity). Complement is a type of proteinin the blood, which play a role in inflammation. Sometimes, monocytes attach to foreign materials byrecognizing them with specialized receptors. After phagocytosis, fragments of the foreign substance thatremains can serve as an antigen when the monocytes capture them and expose them to other white bloodcells known as T-cells, which leads to a specific response against it from the immune system. Theyexpose the fragments of the foreign substance with help from a special molecule known as an MHC (majorhistocompatibility complex) molecule. Macrophages are also believed to play a role in forming importantorgans such as the heart and the brain. Monocytes can also divide into dendritic cells in the tissues."

Through antigen presentation they play a key role in the immunological reactions. They are found primarily in the skin, lymphnodes, spleen and thymus. They are derived from bone marrow. The migration of dendritic cells (DCs) to lymph nodes (LNs) is pivotal to the establishment of the immune response. In response to danger signals, precursors are rapidly mobilized into the circulation. Chemokine receptors present on the dendritic cells help in their movement towards their precise regions. They hold nonspecific antigen uptake receptors. When they get activated with the antigen, they start migrating towards the T cells for presenting the antigen."

Tony Schmitz About half of an adult, or one ten-year old child: Tyrannosaurus rex weighed about as much as an elephant. [ 1]No one is totally sure what dinosaur metabolism looked like, but the best guesses for how much food T-rex ate seem to cluster around 40,000 calories per day. [ 2]If we assume dinosaurs had metabolisms similar to today's mammals, they'd eat a lot more than 40,000 calories each day. But the current thinking is that while dinosaurs were more active (loosely speaking, \"\"warm-blooded\"\") than modern snakes and lizards, very large dinosaurs probably had metabolisms that more closely resembled komodo dragons than elephants and tigers. [ 3]Next, we need to know how many calories are in a human. This number is helpfully provided, by Dinosaur Comics author Ryan North, on this wonderful t-shirt. Ryan's shirt tells us that an 80-kg human contains about 110,000 calories of energy. Therefore, a T-rex would need to consume a human every two days or so. [ 4] The city of New York had 239,736 births in 2011, which could support a population of about 1,000 tyrannosaurs."

Photograph: Shah Marai/AFP/Getty images Scientists have at last uncovered the closest living relative of the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, the most feared and famous of all the dinosaurs. For the first time, researchers have managed to sequence proteins from the long-extinct creature, leading them to the discovery that many of the molecules show a remarkable similarity to those of the humble chicken. The research provides the first molecular evidence for the notion that birds are the modern-day descendants of dinosaurs, as well as overturning the long-held palaeontological assumption that delicate organic molecules such as DNA and proteins are completely destroyed during the process of fossilisation over hundreds of thousands of years. It also hints at the tantalising prospect that scientists may one day be able to emulate Jurassic Park by cloning a dinosaur. Mary Schweitzer, a palaeontologist at North Carolina State University and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, led a team of researchers in analysing the 68m-year-old leg bone of a T-rex, recovered in 2003 in Montana. To her surprise, she found that it still contained a matrix of collagen fibres, a protein that gives bone its structure and flexibility. Working with colleagues at Harvard University Medical Centre and with the help of equipment normally used to identify and sequence tiny amounts of protein in human cancers, Prof Schweitzer managed to extract and sequence seven different T-rex proteins. The results are published today in a series of papers in the journal Science. \"\""

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature10 Facts About Tyrannosaurus Rex, the King of the Dinosaurs Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 18, 2017Tyrannosaurus Rex is by far the most popular dinosaur that ever lived, spawning a huge number of books, movies, TV shows, and even video games. What's truly amazing, though, is how much about this carnivore that was once assumed as fact has lately been called into question, and how much is still being discovered.01of 10Tyrannosaurus Rex Wasn't the Biggest Meat-Eating Dinosaur Karen Carr Most people reflexively assume that the North American Tyrannosaurus Rex--at 40 feet from head to tail and seven to nine tons--was the biggest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived, The fact is, though, that T. Rex was outclassed by not one, but two, dinosaurs--the South American Giganotosaurus, which weighed about nine tons, and the northern African Spinosaurus, which tipped the scales at 10 tons. Sadly, these three theropods never had the chance to square off in combat, since they lived in different times and places, separated by thousands of miles and millions of years.02of 10The Arms of Tyrannosaurus Rex Weren't as Tiny as You Thought Karen Carr One feature of Tyrannosaurus Rex that everyone likes to make fun of is its arms, which seem disproportionately tiny compared to the rest of its massive body. The fact is, thought, that T. Rex's arms were over three feet long, and may have been capable of bench-pressing 400 pounds each. In any event, T. Rex didn't have the smallest arm-to-body ratio of any carnivorous dinosaur; that honor belongs to the truly comical-looking Carnotaurus, the arms of which looked like tiny nubs. For more, see Why Did T. Rex Have Such Tiny Arms?03of 10Tyrannosaurus Rex Had Very Bad Breath Wikimedia Commons Granted, most of the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era didn't brush their teeth, and very few of them flossed. Some experts think the shards of rotten, bacteria-infested meat that would have been constantly lodged in its numerous, closely packed teeth gave Tyrannosaurus Rex a \"\"septic bite,\"\" which infected (and eventually killed) wounded prey. The problem is, this process likely would have taken days or weeks, by which time some other lucky meat-eating dinosaur would have reaped the rewards!04of 10Female Tyrannosaurus Rex Were Bigger than the Males Getty Images We don't yet know for sure, but there's good reason to believe (based on the size of existing fossils and the shapes of their hips) that female T. Rex individuals outweighed their male counterparts by a few thousand pounds, a trait known as sexual dimorphism. Why? The most likely reason is that females of the species had to lay clutches of T. Rex-sized eggs, and thus were blessed by evolution with bigger hips, or perhaps females were simply more accomplished hunters than males (as is the case with modern lions).05of 10The Average Tyrannosaurus Rex Lived About 30 Years Jura Park It's difficult to infer a dinosaur's life span from its fossil remains, but based on an analysis of existing specimens, paleontologists speculate that Tyrannosaurus Rex may have lived as long as 30 years--and since this dinosaur was on the top of its local food chain, it would most likely have been felled by old age, disease, or hunger rather than attacks by its fellow theropods, except when it was young and vulnerable.

This doesn’t affect rankings. Our review process. Known as the king of the dinosaurs and a vicious meat eating carnivore, the Tyrannosaurus Rex roamed the Earth 67 to 66.5 million years ago. The fascination in this king of the beasts most certainly comes from the fact that this terrifying creature was once alive, alive and kicking around all 7.5 tons of its weight around the land that we now call our home. From fossil discoveries paleontologists can tell a lot about how the Tyrannosaurus Rex used to live, including the animals that it used to feel upon. By analyzing fossils that are millions of years old paleontologists can find, with a remarkable amount of detail, many unusual facts about this terrible lizard. Tyrannosaurus Rex Lived in the Late Cretaceous Period Against popular belief the Tyrannosaurus Rex did not walk the Earth during the Jurassic period; this massive king of the dinosaurs actually roamed the Earth towards the end of all dinosaurs – during the late cretaceous period. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was, in fact, one of the last non-aviary dinosaurs to roam prior to the great extinction event at the end of the late Cretaceous period. During this time the earth was swollen with a wide array of species of dinosaurs and increasing diversity among those that made it through the Jurassic period in to the Cretaceous period."

Scientists continue to disagree about the speed--fast or slow?--of one very big extinct animal, Tyrannosaurus rex. Tyrannosaurus rex Craig Chesek/AMNHThe most famous of the upright, largely meat-eating dinosaurs called theropods, T. rex would have weighed between 5,000 and 7,000 kilograms (11,000 to 15,500 pounds) with skin and flesh on its huge bones. That's about as much as the largest African elephant. Some claim T. rex could run at speeds up to 72 kilometers (45 miles) per hour.

Paleontologists have found that Tyrannosaurus rex chased down prey, ripped off chunks of flesh, and threw back its head to toss them down the hatch. Photograph by Nature, Alamy PUBLISHED October 31, 2015What did Tyrannosaurus rex eat? The obvious answer is “Anything it wanted,” but paleontologists have uncovered some surprises in the actual mealtime habits of the Cretaceous carnivore. The latest find is a set of 66-million-year-old scrapes on a Tyrannosaurus limb bone found in Wyoming, to be presented at the annual Geological Society of America meeting in Baltimore, Maryland on Monday. These scratches were clearly made by a large predator with serrated teeth, and study leader Matthew Mc Lain says that T. rex itself was the only carnivore around at the time capable of creating such damage. T. rex has been pegged as a cannibal before. In 2010, Nicholas Longrich and colleagues documented four other T. rex bones bearing divots and gouges that could only have been made by members of the same species. T. rex didn’t let good meat go to waste."

Credit: Joe Tucciarone Spinosaurus was the biggest of all the carnivorous dinosaurs, larger than Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus. It lived during part of the Cretaceous period, about 112 million to 97 million years ago, roaming the swamps of North Africa. Two Spinosaurus species have been named based on the regions where they were discovered: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus Egyptian spine lizard) and Spinosaurus maroccanus (Moroccan spine lizard). Spinosaurus means \"\"spine lizard,\"\" an appropriate descriptor, as the dinosaur had very long spines growing on its back to form what is referred to as a \"\"sail.\"\" The distinctive spines, which grew out of the animal's back vertebrae, were up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) long and were likely connected to one another by skin. Recent fossil evidence shows Spinosaurus was the first dinosaur that was able to swim, and likely spent most of its life in the water, according to a study published September 2014 in the journal Science. \"\" Spinosaurus had short hind limbs (like early whales and other animals that spent more and more time in the water), dense and compact bones (penguins show a similar bone profile in cross section), wide and flat claws and feet (possibly used in paddling), and a long and slender snout with conical teeth (perfect for catching fish),\"\" said Nizar Ibrahim, a University of Chicago vertebrate paleontologist and lead author of the study. Function of the sail There has been much scientific debate regarding the evolution and purpose of Spinosaurus ' sail. Because of its size, this dinosaur did not have many predators, but the sail could have been used to ward off enemies, as the dinosaur would have appeared to be twice its size with the sail fully extended."

The most common tapeworm found in cats is the Dipylidium Caninum. They are flat and segmented, white in colour and can grow up to 20cm long. How does a cat or kitten get tapeworms? T he tapeworm cycle begins with the flea larvae eating fecal matter that contains tapeworm eggs. The eggs hatch inside the flea and become cysticercoids. A cat may then swallow or eat a flea that contains these cysticercoids while chewing or biting at a flea during grooming. Once the flea passes into the cat's intestine the flea is broken down and the cysticercoids develop into an adult tapeworm. The tapeworm attaches itself to the lining of the intestine and feeds off the nutrients As the tapeworm matures the tail segments drops off."

We only have a few bones of this late Jurassic (140 million years ago) plant-eater from Colorado, but the bones show an animal who was six-stories high and may have weighed more than 50 tons. A four-legged plant-eating dinosaur found recently in Argentina, argentinasaurus, may have been even heavier than ultrasauros. If it was a brachiosaur like ultrauros then it probably was the biggest, but if it was a titanosaur, another kind of big plant-eater common in South America, it wouldn't have been so bulky. Q: Which dinosaurs were bigger — plant-eaters or meat-eaters? A: Plant-eaters by far. T. rex and giganotosaurus, the biggest meat-eaters, were 7 or 8 tons and 45 feet long.

"text": "When frogs lay their eggs in creeks, ponds and other waterways, the eggs don’t hatch into tiny frogs -- when they hatch, they're tadpoles. These free-swimming frog larvae have gills like fish and long tails instead of legs. They'll undergo metamorphosis over time and will end up with lungs instead of gills, and four legs to hop around on. Their diet will change as they begin to eat like adult frogs, but while they're tadpoles, they eat other foods. Diet The mainstay of the tadpole diet is algae, especially when the tadpoles are small. Tiny tadpoles younger than a week old usually stay in one place and consume whatever algae they can find there. As they get a bit older, they start to swim freely. They’ll continue to eat algae, but they'll begin to nibble on plant stems and leaves, along with any dead insects they come upon. Bigger tadpoles can catch and eat live bugs. Some types of frogs, such as bullfrogs, can remain in the tadpole stage as long as two years and may get quite large before they begin to change."

The tadpole tank has become popular culture in the schoolroom yet the sorts of brief descriptions of tadpole rearing in publications available to most schools leave a lot to be desired. As a consequence a potentially positive experience can be spoiled and it is often too late when a teacher or taddie raiser calls us for assistance. In the interests of proper treatment of tadpoles we have written this very brief instruction. It is intended to give an idea of the practicalities of tadpole raising, and as a consequence some of the more technical explanations of why to do certain things are skimmed over. We hope this tadpole care information is of some assistance. Protection of frogs and tadpoles It should be remembered that all frogs and tadpoles are protected in Victoria and some other states.

"text": "\"Critterguy / Care / Amphibians Care: Frogs, Toads, and Salamandersnorthern American bull frog (female)Basics of Captive Care Frogs, toads, and salamanders belong to a class of animals called Amphibians. They are vertebrates (back-boned animals) with smooth (moist) or warty skins. They lay unshelled eggs, usually in water, and most species have a gilled, swimming larval stage (such as a tadpole). Amphibians are \"\"cold-blooded\"\" (they aren't always cold, but their body temperature is dependent on the temperature of their environment). Generally Speaking Native Michigan amphibians need a moist (humid) environment, moderate temperatures (around 65° to 75°F), shelter from enemies and extreme temperatures, and nutritious food (most adult amphibians eat insects or worms or other small creatures). Conservation Catching one or two specimens of the more common amphibian species will not harm wild populations, but the large scale collection of frogs or salamanders by pet or bait dealers or the taking of frogs for \"\"frog legs\"\" can result in over-harvest and a serious reduction in amphibian numbers. Some species are already rare, due to habitat destruction or other factors, and are protected by state laws. Always check with the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division website ( visit their website...) for current regulations before capturing amphibians for any reason. Remember: frogs, toads, and salamanders are an important part of a healthy environment. Most species depend on ponds, lakes, and other wetlands for survival."

"text": "\"Tadpoles Amphibians Frogs How long does it take for tadpoles to become frogs?7 Answers Harold Suse, The Amazing world of Frogs Answered Jun 28, 2016The simple answer There is no simple answer to this question. Life cycles vary greatly between species and, of course, the development of the tadpoles is one major difference. Tadpole life is often dictated by environmental factors. That is, conditions and evolutionary pressures have adapted the frogs' life-cycles to best suit their surroundings. For example, species which live in arid environments must have a very fast tadpole development in order for eggs to be laid in pools following rain and tadpoles fully develop before those pools dry up again in a matter of days, while frogs which live by permanent water sources can have a much longer development. Another evolutionary modification is the removal of some or all of the \"\"free-living\"\" tadpole stage. Direct development is where the eggs are laid out of water and the tadpoles pass their entire developmental period on land, and delayed emergence is where the eggs are laid on land and the tadpoles enter the water at a relatively advanced stage of development. About one-quarter of Australian frog species use one of these methods. Even within a single species, the time taken for tadpoles to develop can vary. There are a number of factors that determine this."

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

Mieke Dalle/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images The process of tiny tadpoles growing strong and then slowly changing from aquatic fishlike creatures to jumping, googly-eyed frogs is a miracle of nature. If youngsters (or the young at heart) have a chance to witness this transformation, they should do so, of course in the most responsible ways possible. Collecting tadpoles or eggs is illegal in many places, so be sure to check with your government wildlife or environmental agency before doing so. If it is legal where you live and you decide to collect eggs or tadpoles, make sure to just take a few and leave the rest. This will reduce the impact on the environment. Plus, growing tadpoles take a lot of space and work, and you don't want to get in over your head. You may be able to release frogs raised from eggs or tadpoles harvested from the wild, but you should check with your wildlife department about this as well. Of course, if the frogs turn out to be a non-native or invasive species, do not release them. You should be prepared to keep the adult frogs in the event that you cannot release your tadpoles."

Some frogs, called the tailed frogs, have little taillike bits of tissue, but they are not really tails. Many frogs have long and strong hind legs for hopping, but a few have short hind legs and typically get around by walking or running. Salamanders are the four-legged, tailed animals that hikers or gardeners sometimes surprise when they turn over a rock or log.

It is interesting to note that all three of these documented species belong to the genus Phyllobates and not Dendrobates, the genus that includes the most brightly colored of poison frogs that are most often recognized as \"\"poison dart frogs. \"\" Poison frogs are known for their beautiful colors, and amphibians that have toxic skin secretions tend to have bright warning colors or patterns. It is theorized that these colors function as a visual warning, a learned response on the part of the predator."

To know the diet of tadpoles is to ensure that they will grow up to become healthier frogs. The very name “tadpole” is essentially a combination of “toad” and “head” which has been used to describe the young frog embryos. These embryos will grow quickly under the right conditions, but they must receive a considerable amount of care in order for them to grow up into frogs. Tadpoles start life inside eggs that are covered with a jelly-type substance which actually protects them from many predators before they hatch. The eggs tend to clump together on top of the water until the tadpoles hatch and begin their lives in the pond. Tadpoles develop tails and will swim about underwater finding food for about a month until they start to develop hind legs. At this point, the tadpoles will also start to develop lungs that will take the place of their gills and they will begin to breathe the air around them. After a few months, their tails will disappear and their front legs will start to grow as they become fully mature frogs."

Tadpole growth rate is highly variable. There are all sorts of reasons it can speed up or slow down. The water's p H, temperature, oxygen levels, and other details can help tadpoles grow quickly or slug along at a slow rate. Also, different kinds of tadpoles have different cycles. Some toads can even take up to 3 years before the tadpole turns into a frog. Imagine being a tadpole for three whole years!

"text": "\"Raising Tadpoles in Containers and Ponds Caring for a few tadpoles and watching them turn into frogs (metamorphose) is a fascinating and rewarding activity for young and old alike. It is also becoming more useful for scientific reasons, too. There are still many things we don't know about frogs while many species worldwide are disappearing before our eyes. Some of the information about a frog's life cycle are far easier to obtain from frogs and tadpoles in captivity. It is also much easier to discover if any diseases are active as sick or dead tadpoles are hardly ever found in the wild. With the severity of droughts (becoming more common all the time), the rescue of tadpoles from dwindling puddles or overcrowded frog ponds is that much more important. Do remember, though, that if you are in an area where mosquito-borne diseases like Dengue and Ross River Fever occur, you MUST ensure that your tadpole enclosures do not breed any mosquitos. If you live in Queensland, please refer to the bottom of this page for specific legal information important to your tadpole keeping. Tadpoles are generally easy to keep IF you have them set up CORRECTLY. If you are considering doing a tadpole rescue, please remember the following:tadpoles need a certain amount of time (usually measured in months) so don't collect them unless you can commit for the time they needdepending on what you have available to feed them, you might need to spend some money for food and you will need sufficient rainwater for the entire time of their development - be sure you have all your supplies ready before the tadpoles arrivespace to develop - a rough rule-of-thumb is no more than 2 well developed tadpoles per litre of water - so only collect what you have containers to accommodatesufficient oxygen which can be in form of an aquarium aerator or the right underwater plants with a little sunshinea watchful eye during metamorphosis; if the tads have come from somewhere else, they will need to go back so make sure they don't escape; if you have rescued a ground dwelling frog, they will need help to get out at the right time as they can't climb out like the tree frogs do Where Are Tadpoles Found?"

The tadpole at this point consists of poorly developed gills, a mouth, and a tail. It's really fragile at this point. They usually will stick themselves to floating weeds or grasses in the water using little sticky organs between its' mouth and belly area. Then, 7 to 10 days after the tadpole has hatched, it will begin to swim around and feed on algae. After about 4 weeks, the gills start getting grown over by skin, until they eventually disappear. The tadpoles get teeny tiny teeth which help them grate food turning it into soupy oxygenated particles."

"text": "\"Tadpoles Amphibians Frogs How long does it take for tadpoles to become frogs?7 Answers Harold Suse, The Amazing world of Frogs Answered Jun 28, 2016The simple answer There is no simple answer to this question. Life cycles vary greatly between species and, of course, the development of the tadpoles is one major difference. Tadpole life is often dictated by environmental factors. That is, conditions and evolutionary pressures have adapted the frogs' life-cycles to best suit their surroundings. For example, species which live in arid environments must have a very fast tadpole development in order for eggs to be laid in pools following rain and tadpoles fully develop before those pools dry up again in a matter of days, while frogs which live by permanent water sources can have a much longer development. Another evolutionary modification is the removal of some or all of the \"\"free-living\"\" tadpole stage. Direct development is where the eggs are laid out of water and the tadpoles pass their entire developmental period on land, and delayed emergence is where the eggs are laid on land and the tadpoles enter the water at a relatively advanced stage of development. About one-quarter of Australian frog species use one of these methods. Even within a single species, the time taken for tadpoles to develop can vary. There are a number of factors that determine this."

Jelly-like masses of eggs are called frog's spawn. Here's how frog spawn happens: A female frog lays eggs under water, usually in the spring. She may lay as many as 20,000 eggs. The male frog climbs on her back and fertilizes the eggs as they are laid. The female covers the eggs with a jelly-like substance that causes the eggs to float to the water's surface."

Frogs form an important part of the ecological system as they feed on bugs, and serve as food for many predators such as birds. However, due to chemical pollution and the destruction of wetlands for construction purposes, there is a huge decline in their habitat. There are over 5,000 species of frogs (and still counting). One of the groups include the poison dart frogs that are toxic and have interesting and vibrant color patterns on their bodies.

Alford b 1 Richard Shine a Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2011.07.009 Get rights and content Unlike many species that are ‘occasional’ cannibals, the tadpoles of cane toads specifically target conspecific eggs for consumption, ignoring the eggs of sympatric frog species (at least within the toads’ current invasive range in Australia). We tested three hypotheses as to the benefits of consuming conspecific eggs: transfer of toxins from eggs (which have high toxin content) to tadpoles (which have lower toxin content), nutritional input, and reduction of future competition. We found no evidence of toxin transfer, but eggs contained sufficient nutrition for cannibalistic tadpoles to develop through to metamorphosis, and egg consumption enhanced rates of tadpole growth and differentiation through reduction of subsequent competition from younger tadpoles. Features of the cane toads’ life history (e.g. synchronized deposition and development of all eggs within a clutch; delay between hatching and onset of feeding; short larval stage relative to interclutch interval of a given adult female) mean that the cannibals are unlikely to be close relatives of the younger conspecifics they consume (either as eggs or as metamorphs). Kin selection may thus favour rather than oppose cannibalism. The end result is that cannibalistic toad tadpoles benefit through nutrition and reduced future competition, with little collateral risk of eating their own siblings. Another potential cost of cannibalism (risk of disease transmission) may be minimal in this system, because the eggs are unlikely to contain pathogens (reflecting their brief embryonic periods and protective jelly layers). The combination of these forces has favoured the evolution of targeted cannibalism by cane toad tadpoles.

The tadpole tank has become popular culture in the schoolroom yet the sorts of brief descriptions of tadpole rearing in publications available to most schools leave a lot to be desired.

In the interests of proper treatment of tadpoles we have written this very brief instruction. It is intended to give an idea of the practicalities of tadpole raising, and as a consequence some of the more technical explanations of why to do certain things are skimmed over. We hope this tadpole care information is of some assistance. Protection of frogs and tadpoles It should be remembered that all frogs and tadpoles are protected in Victoria and some other states.

"text": "\"Worming Advice For Horse Owners. This guidance is intended to provide horse and pony owners and keepers with some basic advice on species of worms that affect horses and measures that can be taken to reduce pasture parasite burdens. Each situation is different and individual advice should be sought from us at Wern Vets before embarking on a worm program for your horse. Buy Wormer Online Horse Wormers | Sheep Wormers | Cattle Wormers Introduction Most horse owners are aware of the need to worm their horses on a regular basis. Almost every horse alive will have at least one parasitic worm in its body. It is important to realise that often these worms are present in low numbers and cause the horse no ill effects. However if the worm burden reaches a significant level, symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhoea and general 'unthriftiness' may develop. Large numbers of some species of worm are also associated with potentially life-threatening conditions. It is therefore clear that control of these worms is important to the welfare of the horse. Most of the worms that affect horses have a broadly similar life cycle."

"text": "If a puppy is infected, his feces or urine might contain parasites that could be passed on to you. alexsokolov/i Stock/Thinkstock Dr. Brian Roberts2 years ago Have you ever watched some of those veterinary shows on the Animal Planet network? My son, who is 8, loves the show called “Monsters Inside Me, ” which focuses on people who get infections, notably those caused by parasites. During an episode, he asked me if animals get parasites like people, and I replied, “Well, of course and a matter of fact, many animals harbor parasites that can then get transmitted to other animals and people.” The fact that a TV series can focus on parasitic infections exemplifies their importance and interest to veterinarians and medical doctors. This article focuses on parasites and puppies. Puppies are immature dogs, and the word “puppy” describes dogs from birth to sexual maturity, which is around 4 to 6 months of age. It varies depending on the breed. You may have heard the term “deworm” which is, basically, treating for parasites using drugs called anthelmintics. Given the term deworm, people seem to mainly think about worms, but a couple of other categories of parasites are worth mentioning."

"text": "Parasitic Flatworms While there are several parasitic flatworms, tapeworms and flukes are the two most commonly studied types. These flatworms are capable of causing diseases in different host organisms, such as fish, dogs, domesticated animals, and humans. Flatworms are invertebrates, characterized by their minute-size or flattened, unsegmented, bilateral, soft body. Their body shape and size are adaptations, owing to lack of complex circulatory and respiratory systems. To be more precise, the microscopic size and flattened shape of flatworms enable them to undergo diffusion for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. While not all flatworms are parasitic in their food habit, some of them exhibit parasitism and feed on host organisms for deriving nutrients. Classification The flatworms are categorized under the phylum Platyhelminthes (also spelled as Plathelminthes ), which is also their common name. When we say parasitic types, they belong to the groups Cestoda (representing tapeworms), Digenea (representing flukes), and Monogenea (infest fish). Actually half of the identified flatworms are parasitic, while the remaining are free-living species. They are either ectoparasites or endoparasites."

"text": "Parasite Management In Horses: A New Paradigm Internal parasites can cause serious disease in horses without leading to external signs obvious to horse owners. Parasite eggs and worms are tiny or microscopic and rarely visible in manure. Significant parasite loads cause all sorts of problems for horses. They can reduce immunity, cause gastrointestinal irritation and damage, reduce nutrient uptake and cause generalized unwellness. While these “hidden” problems are more common, parasite damage can also lead directly to colic and death. Because of their hidden nature and their great impact on horse health, it is very important for horse owners to have a general understanding of the complex nature of equine parasitism and take an intelligent approach to parasite control. In the last few years, evidence for worm resistance to common dewormers has emerged. This is a serious problem and requires a re-examination of our current methods of parasite control in horses. ABOUT THE PARASITESThere are more than 150 species of internal parasites that afflict horses. Some frequently discussed groups include: Ascarids (Roundworms)Large strongyles (Bloodworms)Small Strongyles Pinworms Bots Tapeworms Lungworms Internal parasites have a life cycle that involves stages within the horse, and stages in the environment."

Mc Carrison BVMS MRCVSVet of the Year 2007It may be distressing to be told that, at some time during your cat’s life, he or she will almost certainly be affected by worms. Nevertheless, this is an unfortunate fact of feline life; and it is vital for your own health as well as for that of your cat – that you introduce regular worming into your ‘Cat Care’ regime. So What Are Worms? There are some 8 different types of intestinal worms which can infect your cat, and some can be spread between cats and people. Roundworms and Tapeworms are the most common. Both of these types spend their adult life in the cat’s bowels, and in small numbers they are not very harmful. However, in large numbers they can cause suffering, illness and even death. Roundworms (Toxocara Cati and Toxascaris leonine)As the name suggests, roundworms resemble the worms we see in the garden – although much thinner. They are long, circular in cross section (not unlike spaghetti) and usually pointed at each end. Their eggs are passed out in the cat’s faeces, but being microscopic there is often no evidence that they are present."

A liver specialist is known as a hepatologist and you need to be referred by your family doctor or general practitioner. Over nearly 40 years of practicing medicine I have seen many patients develop severe liver disease, which sadly could have been prevented by early detection and early referral to a hepatologist. There needs to be more awareness of liver disease so that patients can be treated early so that we can prevent cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. Make sure you have your liver function checked annually with a blood test. I have presented my ideas on how to help those with liver diseases using nutritional medicine, which I have been using for many years with good success rates. However my recommendations do not replace the care of your own doctor and you should remain under the care of your own doctor whilst using nutritional therapies. If you have any questions you may contact my naturopaths on 623 3343232 or email us at [email protected] Hydatid Cysts of the Liver In humans hydatid disease is caused by the larvae of a tapeworm called Echinococcus granulosus.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Worms Flatworms Tapeworms How are tapeworms transmitted? Flag How are tapeworms transmitted? Answer by Lozzy pacific Confidence votes 412Tapeworms or cestodes have an indirect lifecycle. The adults live in the gut of the host species, the adults are made up of many small segments called 'proglottids.' These proglottids get 'older' further down the tapeworms body. The older proglottids fill with eggs to become 'gravid proglottids.' These break of and pass out with the faeces. An intermediate host is then infected with tapeworm by ingesting the proglottids or eggs. ( The intermediate host is different for each species of tapeworm e.g. dog tapeworms can infect sheep or rabbits depending on the species). The tapeworms form cysts within the intermediate host (different locations for different tapeworm species)."

Eucoelomates have a body cavity within the mesoderm, called a coelom, which is lined with mesoderm tissue. Pseudocoelomates have a similar body cavity, but it is lined with mesoderm and endoderm tissue. Open Stax, Features of the Animal Kingdom /CC BY 3.0An acoelomate is defined as an animal that does not possess a body cavity. Unlike coelomates (eucoelomates), animals with a true body cavity, acoelomates lack a fluid-filled cavity between the body wall and digestive tract. Acoelomates have a triplobastic body plan, meaning that their tissues and organs develop from three primary embryonic cell (germ cell) layers. These tissue layers are the endoderm ( endo-, -derm) or innermost layer, mesoderm ( meso-, -derm) or middle layer, and the ectoderm ( ecto-, -derm) or outer layer. Different tissues and organs develop in these three layers. In humans, for example, the epithelial lining that covers internal organs and body cavities is derived from the endoderm. Muscle tissue and connective tissues such as bone, blood, blood vessels, and lymphatic tissue are formed from mesoderm."

Since America has entered the Informational Era, we as teachers must provide our students with the necessary skills to find information in a variety of ways. Therefore, in planning our future curricula we must incorporate the use of the library media center’s technology and resources in our lessons. Hopefully, at the end of our student’s tenure at Troup, they will be able to use the library as an additional tool for learning and enjoyment. The curriculum unit, “The Animal Kingdom” is designed to be used with students in grades five through seven. The students will be introduced to several phyla of animals where they will explore their habitats, classify them according to their structure, present oral reports form their research on a particular phylum and perform scientific investigations with different species of animals. In continuing with the “hands-on” approach in teaching science, I will include several scientific investigations which integrate social studies, literature and language. My overall expectation of this curriculum unit is to provide my colleagues with ideas to develop a thematic unit and enough background information where they will enjoy teaching about the Animal Kingdom, and pass their enthusiasm on to their students."

"text": "Home Fashion & Inspiration Occult Symbols Tattoos and Their Meaning Occult Symbols Tattoos and Their Meaning Along with the surge in popularity of getting tattooed, there has recently been an alarming increase of occult symbols being tattooed on people’s skin. It looks like everyone is choosing esoteric symbols, religious symbols and symbols in general for their tattoos. Symbols are especially popular in dotwork tattoos, where the graphic connotation of this style helps a lot with representing geometric symbols. And it adds to the whole “mystery” aspect too. Can you tell an occult symbol when you see it? We tried to collect the most common ones in this post. You can decide whether to get them inked or not (it’s pretty obvious that you should look into anything you’re about to get tattooed, and not just someones suggestions, even if it’s your tattoo artist suggesting you to add an Eye of Providence here and a pentacle there.) On the spiritual side, some people feel they are getting tattooed with symbols so full of meaning. This depends on how you see spirituality, life and body modification in general. Even if you’re not part of a tribe and tattoos don’t have a social or magical meaning in our society, that doesn’t mean they can’t be viewed in a spiritual sense."

There is a huge number of wolf based designs depending on what emotion and symbolism that you wish your tattoo to project. Since the wolf has been associated with both negative and positive forces the wolf tattoos have both good and evil connotations. Wolf tattoo design is ideal for both men and women and what brings the difference is how the choice of the design and how they are worn Much of the time tattoos are displayed in open surfaces of the body for authentic display and expression of the obvious. A wolf tattoo at the back has a lot more to do with spirituality or an important secret. Wearing a wolf tattoo design like the one below require some element of boldness. The design expresses that strong and aggressive character that one some would love. Wolf tattoo can be worn in different places. Just like in the design below, the hand equally expresses that ideal place for wearing the tattoo. Different meanings associated with the wolf tattoo Some of the things that wolf tattoos mean include the act of devotion, maleness, success, victory, secrecy, bravery, smartness, dark forces, the devil, fierceness, bonds of the family, being powerful and cleverness."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Politics and Government US Constitution Bill of Rights What does it mean to have an armband tattoo on your right arm? Flag What does it mean to have an armband tattoo on your right arm? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Among gay men, piercing the left nipple only or tattooing an armband on the left upper arm only, can be perceived as a statement that the wearer is a top or dominant, meaning that sexually he is anally insertive and orally passive (he receives oral from his partner). In the context of someone who is into B&D or S&M, it means that they are the dominant partner in sexual activities and function as the master, daddy or sir. A gay man who has pierced his right nipple only or has tattooed an armband on only his right upper arm, can be perceived as the bottom or submissive, meaning that sexually he is the anally receptive partner and orally active (he gives oral to his partner). In the B&D and S&M subculture, it means that they are the submissive partner in sex, and function as the slave or boy. The origin or left/right can possibly be attributed to the following: The wearing of various colored bandanas around the neck was common in the mid and late nineteenth century among cowboys, steam railroad engineers, and miners in the Western United States. It is thought that the wearing of bandanas by gay men originated in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, when, because of a shortage of women, men dancing with each other in square dances developed a code where the man wearing the blue bandana took the male part in the square dance, and the man wearing the red bandana took the female part (these bandanas were usually worn around the arm or hanging from the belt or in the back pocket of one's jeans). The modern-day version of this Bandana Code or Hanky Code actually originates back to the 70s when the New York City newspaper, the Village Voice, published an article suggesting that it would be easier for gay men in the Village to pick each other up if they didn't only have to rely on wearing their keys in their back pockets, left to denote active, right passive."

Since defying his mother on his thirteenth birthday (she reportedly told him: “You ain’t gettin’ no tattoo!”) and getting a Jesus tattoo inked on his arm, Chris has gotten so many tattoos it’s really tough to keep track. Fortunately, we’ve done it for you! Chris Brown’s chest tattoos are particularly interesting because they stand out more than his arm sleeves, which leave little skin left for the tattoo lover to ink up. We know you all love to read about Breezy, and we know his tattoos are what you’re interested in…so, for all of you out there dying to know about Chris Brown’s tattoos and their meanings, we have compiled the most up-to-date and informative resource about the singer’s chest tats and other body ink just for you!Breezy’s T-Rex Dinosaur Tattoo Nearly five months after revealing the “X” tattoo on his foot, Chris Brown posted a picture on Instagram on July 17, 2013, showing off a huge dinosaur tattoo inked on his left side. Breezy’s tattoo depicts a large skeleton of the notoriously vicious Tyrannosaurus Rex, and seems to follow a similar theme to some of the controversial singer’s other tats – ferocity and fighting back. In the side tattoo, the T-Rex, universally known as the king of the dinosaurs, looks poised to fight – it’s gigantic skull turned to the side with it’s crazy strong jaws open wide and its massive teeth flashing. Chris Brown’s dinosaur tattoo is inked in black and white and joins several other seemingly aggressive tattoos he already has, including the lion tat on his neck, his snake back tattoo, the Indian wolf chief tattoo on his neck, and his fighter jet chest tattoo. Seems like Chris Brown has something to prove!Chris Brown’s Fighter Jet Tattoo Chris Brown debuted another chest tattoo on September 12, 2012, showing off via Instagram a large fighter jet inked across his abs, just below his wings tat."

After decades of popularity, the gypsy remains as popular as ever. What Is a Gypsy? Well, over the past 600 years or so, the definition has varied. The original gypsies came from northern India and Egypt. They were a nomadic group who lived on and worked the land to make a living on only what was available to them. This nomadic life required extraordinary creativity and intelligence in order to survive.

"text": "Compass Tattoo Meaning If you’d like a recommendation for a local tattoo artist to do your tattoo, click here The compass tattoo has been a popular choice among a majority of cultures for centuries. This maritime symbol was popular among early sailors and it was believed that getting a compass tattoo would protect you on rough waters and ensure that you would return home safely. Even to this day, people can use the same compass tattoo meanings that others used centuries ago. One of the main reasons sailors opted for this tattoo was that of protection. As a token of good luck, images of compasses were painted on the ships as well. The seas were rough and unforgiving and often times ships and the men onboard would disappear without a trace so these images served as a beacon of hope that they would be guided out of the treacherous waters alive. Compass tattoos can come in a variety of styles and variations. These include, but are not limited to, the star compass, the astro compass, the lodestone compass, the Vegvisir compass and the prismatic compass. All of these tattoo designs have slightly different meanings, but the owner can decide to mix in a bunch of meanings to any of them. The star compass is the most popular of the aforementioned designs and is said to represent the North Star."

The UFC champion is taking a break from the sport to look after his pregnant girlfriend and to star in the new series of Game of Thrones. And we’re still none the wiser as to what his plans will be when he eventually does return. There has been plenty of speculation linking the Irishman with a move to the boxing ring, with a fight with the legendary Floyd Mayweather being discussed. While we don’t quite know where or when we’ll next see Mc Gregor, one thing is for sure: he’s had quite an incredible transformation in his life in recent years. Since debuting in UFC in April 2013 - with a TKO of Marcus Bridge - he has established himself as the most talked about star in the sport and has reaped the rewards as a result. While his status has dramatically changed, so too has his appearance. When we first saw Mc Gregor almost four years ago, he looked very different. While he still had a beard, he didn’t have a single tattoo on show. Now, though, he’s covered in them and The Sun have taken a look at each of them and tried to uncover the meaning."

"text": "This easy guide is intended to help patients and caregivers understand the different method of administration of medical marijuana, so that they can make educated decision about the products they purchase and try. Medical cannabis is a very effective medicine used by patients across the globe to treat and alleviate symptoms of many serious medical conditions that do not respond to traditional interventions. Studies have proven that cannabis has therapeutic properties that cannot be replicated by any other currently prescribed medications, and it induces far fewer and much less severe side effects than many commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals and over the counter drugs. One of the first questions patients often ask us is:“What are the best and healthiest ways to consume medical cannabis?”First, unless you live in a state like Colorado, Washington or Oregon that allow recreational marijuana purchases and use, and depending on your state’s laws, you will need to get a medical marijuana recommendation letter and/or medical cannabis card from a doctor. This step usually requires an in-person appointment and screening process so that the doctor can determine if cannabis is a good choice for you. Once you have obtained your recommendation and/or card, you will be able to enter and purchase different types of cannabis from a local marijuana dispensary or collective. Smoking marijuana flowers is a well-known method of administration (or “medicating), but there are numerous alternative ways to gain the benefits of medicinal cannabis—each possessing certain benefits and drawbacks. Smoking Medical Cannabis How it works: Pack a small amount of dried (cured) cannabis flower into a pipe, water pipe (bong), or rolling paper (to create a “joint”). Then hold a flame to the cannabis flower until it combusts as you inhale the smoke from the mouthpiece or other end of the joint. Pros Delivers instant relief Fairly easy to regulate dosage Inexpensive Minimally processed Multiple options Cons Smoke may be harmful to lungs."

Candida most often affects the vaginal area—especially in post-menopausal women whose estrogen levels have declined—but it is not the same as bacterial vaginosis. The infection can also appear around dentures, under the breasts, on the lower abdomen, in nail beds, and beneath skin folds. Most people—men and women—suffer from some form of yeast infection at least once in their lives, and you’re about to learn how to cure it yourself using natural, inexpensive home remedies.

Popular remedies for getting rid of hemorrhoids include apple cider vinegar, rutin, coconut oil, castor oil, witch hazel, and aloe vera. Hemorrhoids are swollen or inflamed veins in the anus and lower rectum that can be itchy, painful, and potentially cause bleeding during bowel movements. There are two types of hemorrhoids, internal and external. External hemorrhoids are located under the skin around the anus, and the delicate skin there can be easily irritated and bleed during a bowel movement. Blood clots can form in external hemorrhoids and cause a great deal of pain and inflammation. On the other hand, internal hemorrhoids are less noticeable, but straining during a bowel movement can irritate the delicate surface of the hemorrhoid and cause bleeding or pass the hemorrhoid outside the anus; this is called a protruding or prolapsed hemorrhoid and can be very painful. Hemorrhoid symptoms include painless bleeding during bowel movements that results in bright red blood, itching, irritation, or swelling in the anus, the formation of a sensitive or painful lump near the anus, and sometimes anal leakage.

"text": "Tea tree oil hemorrhoids treatment is one of a growing number of alternative medicine treatments for hemorrhoids. In recent years, complementary and alternative medicine, such as tea tree oil, has been growing more and more popular as people realize that synthetic chemicals can cause some serious problems. In addition, the rise of complementary and alternative medicine directly corresponds with the failure of trust for many doctors after medical scandals have rocked the media. Last, but not least, the push towards more herbal medications has corresponded with a growing awareness that there is a lot that nature has to offer us. It’s no wonder that people are looking towards more and more alternative and complementary treatments such as tea tree oil as a hemorrhoids treatment as well as for other common conditions. For all of that, though, most people are used to thinking of herbal medications, such as a tea tree oil hemorrhoids treatment, as “second rate” or not as powerful as more mainstream medicines. People also often forget that most of the herbs allowed in retail stores are those that are so weak that they can’t possibly cause any harm. For many herbs, including tea tree oil as a hemorrhoids treatment, this is completely untrue. Tea tree oil has proven an extremely powerful essential oil, with action that equals or surpasses mainstream medication in many areas, including many facets of hemorrhoid treatment. By all the evidence, tea tree oil as a hemorrhoids treatment should work very well indeed for symptom relief and prevention of complications from hemorrhoids."

But let's step back a bit first and discuss the basics of a yeast infection. If you are not aware of it, yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida Albicans, a yeast that is naturally present in and on many people's bodies. In fact, 50% of people have the Candida yeast in their mouths and it can also be found in the gastrointestinal tract, on our skin, in a woman's vagina, on a man's penis and even in our eyes.

"text": "It's fairly common for people to use tea tree oil for warts, although care should be taken to avoid skin irritation. While some people prefer to apply the oil directly to the warts, health care practitioners usually suggest diluting it first with water or a carrier oil, such as olive or almond oil. Aloe vera gel or the contents of a vitamin E capsule may also be used to dilute it. When using tea tree oil to treat warts, the diluted mixture is typically applied several times per day until the wart disappears, a process that may take several weeks or months. Some people believe that faster results are possible when using full-strength tea tree oil on warts. The problem with this is that the pure oil is known to cause mild to moderate skin irritation for many people. If this method is chosen, a cotton swab can be used to apply the oil directly to one wart two to three times per day. If skin irritation occurs, the oil should be diluted before it's used again. Due to the potential for skin irritation and discomfort, undiluted tea tree oil should not be used on mucus membranes, such as the genitals. Depending on the location of the warts, adding a few drops of tea tree oil to a tub of warm bath water may be a good choice."

Hemorrhoids are varicose veins in the rectum, just above the anus. They actually provide a function by maintaining separation between blood vessels and rectal tissue. They only become a problem when they become inflamed and enlarged. This most commonly occurs as a consequence of demanding physical labor, difficult bathroom visits or as a complication of pregnancy.

You will get some relief from the pain, burning, and constant itching associated with these womens yeast infections. They are not meant to treat the infection by itself, although some of you will choose to do so, but to be used as a compliment to treating your vaginal yeast infection from the inside. It works much faster if you do treat the inside and outside at the same time. Be sure to follow the directions for your type of infection found on Women's page. The reason for that is, candida yeast first populates the vagina in the multi-cellular form. It then sends out little tree like roots or legs and penetrates your skin where it establishes itself. Once under the skin it can hide from things you use on the outside. It also can hide from Diflucan or other anti-fungal drugs if you are not on them long enough. Once the drug is gone in 3 days, it reasserts itself."

What went wrong? Aren’t the permanent teeth supposed to grow under the baby teeth and push them out? Rest assured, permanent teeth coming in behind baby teeth is not an emergency!Ordinarily, as the permanent teeth push up, the roots of the baby teeth dissolve and the baby tooth eventually falls out, allowing the permanent teeth to come in. Sometimes, the baby teeth don’t want to leave the mouth, and the permanent teeth come in right behind them. This condition is technically known as lingually erupting mandibular incisors and more commonly known as shark teeth or simply permanent teeth coming in behind baby teeth. In this article, I’ll talk about why shark teeth happen, how common shark teeth are, whether or not they’re serious, and what your dentist or pediatric dentist can do to treat shark teeth. I’ll even sprinkle in a couple of pictures so you can check to see if this is what is happening with your child.

Lyrics powered by Lyric Find Add your thoughts11 Comments View by: Highest Rated Most Recent Oldest First+2 My Interpretation This song seems to deal with the feelings that come from being trapped in mental negativity/hell, feeling unable to escape but continuing to blend in with the rest of the world Verse 1 Don’t look, just keep your eyes peeled - Be aware (the world is an evil place) Thoughtless, trapped in my minefield - Mentally trapped by bad thoughts that can lead to self destructing Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore - Feeling a loss of control over your own life and feelings as the shit has taken a level of control Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror - The monsters aren't real, but they're in the head (and they're powerful) Slowly, can one so lost be found? - Feeling hopeless in such a low place Chorus And I know, you will never believe I play as though I’m alright - I wear this smile and fit in, but underneath I'm losing it If life is but a dream, then Wake me up - If this is reality than I do not want to live it The rest of the lyrics build on those ideas with different concepts of struggling. Really powerful stuff relating to such an intense emotional state. holyravioli on July 03, 2013 Link No Replies Log in to reply+1 General Comment 100% correct lyrics from the ...

I think the title is basically saying: keep your eyes peeled because you don't know what others are hiding... watch out because people hide some dark stuff just like you hide yours. Alice_in_Soundweezer on January 27, 2016 Link No Replies Log in to reply0 My Interpretation I, very superficially, think that this song is about realizing you're headed down a bad path. You know, living your version of the dream, not giving a shit about anything? You realize that and would like a way out, that leads to the \"\"wake me\"\"."

"text": "Yellow teeth What causes yellow teeth You can find many different reasons behind yellow teeth, certain which can be handled as well as some that you are unable to. Knowing the reasons behind why a smile is probably not as shiny as wanted will allow you to take action in the direction of solving the problems which are leading to the issue. A single question that lots of men and women end up wondering is why are my teeth yellow. Owning a shining set of teeth will surely be of benefit to everyone. Healthful bright white teeth make us appear more pleasant, more healthy and young looking. A lot of people in the public interest are aware of this, which explains why they spend seriously in teeth whitening. A lot of people do not understand that teeth are not biologically absolutely white colored. They normally are a light yellow and they are likely going to shadow with getting older. The reason is the surface area of enamel splits and erodes, which reveals the dentine. The dentine is much more porous and also soaks up a lot more nutrition colors and pigmentation."

I went to the dentist yesterday, she booked me in with a hygienist as I have a build up of hard plaque behind my bottom front teeth. When I was flossing today, a tiny piece broke off my tooth. It was half black, half white. Is that what hard plaque looks like or is it my tooth breaking off?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Plaque that's been there for awhile (tartar or calculus) can definitely be black or brown or green. The tartar that is on the outside (nearest your mouth) is usually a creamy white color (due to the calcium, magnesium and phosphate content... it's basically like a hard-water deposit). The tartar on the underside (closest to the tooth) can be black, brown or green. This is from the gums bleeding. The blood becomes trapped in the deposit and remains there (much like a bruise can be black, brown, green from the different components in the blood). It looks (and feels) almost like a little rock."

Posted 3 years ago Hi,I have always suffered with headaches from a young age. I've tried beta-blockers and Amitriptyline which have worked on and off. I've now stopped taking them and gone back on citalopram for anxiety last week. The side effects can cause headache, but for the last 3 days I've had a pain/ache behind my left eye, temple and the top row of my teeth along with pains in other parts of my head on and off. I saw the GP who checked my eye and said my optic disc looked ok and didn't know what it was. I have had the eye pain before but not for so many days in a row. If I take paracetamol it lessens the pain for a few hours and then comes back. Thought it could be sinus related as I keep getting mucus stuck, but I don't have a cold. Any ideas??"

"text": "in Dental Services • Featured • Oral Health What is Tartar? A Common Problem for Your Teeth Tartar on teeth is a common problem that dentists see every day, but few people know what it is or why it is a problem. This is too bad since tartar is not only a sign of poor hygiene habits but also the beginning stage of other more severe problems, like gum disease. What is Tartar? Tartar (sometimes called calculus) is a rough, porous mineral buildup that forms on your teeth at or below the gum line. Tartar forms when plaque stays on your teeth and hardens. But unlike plaque, which is hard to see, tartar takes on a yellowish or brownish color. Roughly 68% of all adults have tartar to some degree. Younger children and older adults are more at risk, as are smokers, people with orthodontic work, and people with dry mouth. Why Tartar is an Oral Health Problem to Take Seriously While tartar is not immediately harmful or dangerous, it can create a number of problems down the road if you do not take care of it: Tartar gives dental plaque more surface area on which to stick, which in turn gives bacteria a nice place to grow."

Listenen español La boca y los dientes The first thing that comes to mind when you think of your mouth is probably eating — or kissing! But your mouth's a lot more than an input slot for food or a tool for smooching your sweetie. Where Would We Be Without Them? Your mouth and teeth form your smile, which is often the first thing people notice when they look at you. The mouth is also essential for speech: The tongue (which also allows us to taste) enables us to form words with the help of our lips and teeth. The tongue hits the teeth to make certain sounds — the th sound, for example, is produced when the tongue brushes against the upper row of teeth. If a person has a lisp, that means the tongue touches the teeth instead of directly behind them when saying words with the s sound. Without our teeth, we'd have to live on a liquid diet or a diet of soft, mashed food. The hardest substances in the body, the teeth are necessary for mastication — a fancy way of saying chewing — the process by which we tear, cut, and grind food in preparation for swallowing."

God is speaking to us through these dreams. I have interpreted thousands and thousands of dreams and one of the most common dreams people ask me about is teeth. Let me explain what this common dream means. Teeth This type of dream reveals you are in need of direction. Teeth chew food and make it useful for the body. Symbolically, teeth chew the word or teaching of God so it can be digested and made useful through application. Chewing or thinking about something brings deeper understanding. ( You are “chewing on” this revelation even as you read.) That’s why teeth coming loose or falling out means you’re in need of direction, wisdom or advice."

[ 1] [2] The work ranges from basic circuit design to strategic mass developments. A telecommunication engineer is responsible for designing and overseeing the installation of telecommunications equipment and facilities, such as complex electronic switching systems, and other plain old telephone service facilities, optical fiber cabling, IP networks, and microwave transmission systems. Telecommunication engineering also overlaps with broadcast engineering. Telecommunication is a diverse field of engineering connected to electronic, civil and systems engineering. Ultimately, telecom engineers are responsible for providing high-speed data transmission services. They use a variety of equipment and transport media to design the telecom network infrastructure; the most common media used by wired telecommunications today are twisted pair, coaxial cables, and optical fibers. Telecommunications engineers also provide solutions revolving around wireless modes of communication and information transfer, such as wireless telephony services, radio and satellite communications, and internet and broadband technologies.

"text": "\"Computer Engineering Frequently Asked Questions What is computer engineering? Since engineering is the application of the principles of basic science to the solving of problems within constraints (that is, building things! ), computer engineering is engineering applied to computers and computer-based systems. In other words, computer engineers build computers such as PCs, workstations, and supercomputers. They also build computer-based systems such as those found in cars, planes, appliances, electronics, phones, communication networks, and many, many other products. Computer engineers typically design not only the hardware, but also much of the software in computer-based systems. What set of skills do I need to be a computer engineer? All scientists and engineers need a firm foundation in basic science and math. They also need to be able to work in teams and to communicate their ideas both verbally and in writing. Computer engineers specifically are comfortable with both hardware and software."

"text": "\"1. Objectives of Roadmap This ICT Security Standards Roadmap is intended to support the security standardization work of the ITU by identifying existing published security standards, standards that are in development, and areas where a need for standards has been identified but where work has not yet been initiated. Although the focus is primarily on standards in the ITU-T space (i.e. security standards relating to telecommunication networks), the standards and work of other formal and informal regional and international standards development organizations (SDOs) are included in this Roadmap. The Roadmap also identified existing collaborative projects and helps to identify possible opportunities for future collaboration. It is hoped that the Roadmap will contribute to the coordination of security standardization activities by providing an up-to-date summary of work that has been completed and work that is in progress across SDOs as well as identifying the major organizations participating in this work. By knowing what has been done already, and what work is in progress, it will be possible to avoid duplication of effort and also to identify gaps that need attention.2. Structure and content The Roadmap, which is considered a “work in progress” is currently structured with the intention that the primary publication medium will be the web. Although periodic paper publication is not precluded, it is important that the currency of the information be maintained and that the updating process be easy and timely. Publishing the Roadmap as a web document facilitates frequent updates and will make the document readily available to the widest possible audience at the lowest cost. The information provided via Roadmap is expected to expand as the work of other SDOs is added."

"text": "Sign In or Sign Up English/USAnswers Store Outreach Media Kids Education Donate Satan, the Fall, and a Look at Good and Evil Photo from the Creation Museum Answers in Genesis Answers God Sin Original Sin Is Original Sin (Sin Nature) Passed through the Father’s Genetic Line? Is Original Sin (Sin Nature) Passed through the Father’s Genetic Line?by Bodie Hodge on February 23, 2010Share: How is original sin passed in order for Christ to remain sinless? This question and variants like it have arisen in the past. Follow this reasoning: Basis: Jesus was sinless ( Hebrews 4:15, 1 John 3:5 ). Jesus was a descendant of Adam as per Luke 3 (in His humanity). Descendants of Adam receive original sin because they were in Adam when Adam sinned ( Romans 5:12 ). So how did Jesus avoid having original sin? There are several popular responses to this (basic arguments given below) that show there is no contradiction within Scripture: Father’ line: Jesus inherited genetic material from Mary (to be fully human, i.e., descendant of Adam to become the Last Adam) but not from Joseph, therefore, original sin must pass through the father to the offspring. This allows Jesus to avoid original sin. Sin nature is not sin: the terms “sin nature” or “original sin” are not found in the Bible and are terms derived by humans when looking at certain passages."

James 1:13-18Chapter Parallel Compare13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;14but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. Luke 22:40Chapter Parallel Compare40On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation. ”John 8:6Chapter Parallel Compare6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

Richert Updated May 27, 2017The Lord's Prayer is a common name for the Our Father, which derives from the fact that it is the prayer that Christ taught to His disciples when they asked Him how to pray ( Luke 11:1-4 ). The name \"\"the Lord's Prayer\"\" is used more often today by Protestants than by Catholics, but the English translation of the Novus Ordo Mass refers to the recitation of the Our Father as the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer is also known as the Pater Noster, after the first two words of the prayer in Latin. The Text of the Lord's Prayer (Our Father)Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Zsofia 11-30-2008, 10:56 AMI was running to an old \"\"This American Life\"\" and heard a story about a woman attacked by a rabid raccoon and the trouble she had getting the right shots, which made me wonder about it. I know that once the disease gets all up in your nerves, there's a nearly 100% fatality rate (I know about that teenage girl who survived, and that there's another kid somewhere else who may have.) Rabies is a hell of a way to die, so I assume that victims are largely kept out of it with painkillers. If they weren't, though, would they become aggressive, like the raccoon did? ( Abroad in daylight, chased a woman for some time down a road, bit her leg and would not release, had to be held down with two people standing on a board, took dozens and dozens of whacks to the head with a tire iron before dying...) If not, why not? Moirai 11-30-2008, 11:11 AMHuh. I've been poking around and so far, I have seen nothing to indicate that aggression is a rabies symptom in humans. Mr. Excellent 11-30-2008, 11:22 AMWell, the wikipedia article on rabies states that delirium, abnormal behavior, paranoia, and terror are all common end-stage symptoms."

Check out The Omega Force blog. Satan, the enemy of our souls, is a powerful adversary with many weapons. He is the father of lies and the master of evil with thousands of years of experience in how to tempt and distract people from God. We are told to both resist him, stand firm in Christ, and to reject his sinfully seductive arguments and ways. One of the ways he tempts us is with worldly pursuits that sound good including the pursuit of – not holiness and godliness – but the American dream. There’s nothing wrong with working for a living, paying our bills and taking care of our family, but we often take it much further to coveting or even the pursuit of wealth. The enemy is dangerous enough, we don’t need to make his job easier by becoming obsessed with the pleasures of this world and things that overwhelm us with activities and fruitless pursuits. Sadly, we may one day find ourselves more distant from God and unable to hear His voice through His Word."

"text": "Tips for using a Pressure Washer When your spending this much of your money on anything its important to understand it so we get our full use out of it and particularly with a pressure washer it is important to understand the safety concerns. Used in the right hands we really can make our homes sparkle and shine to look just like new but there’s a few things we need to remember before diving in head first. For operating we need to remember the following ……. Always apply the detergent you are using at at a low pressure,if you are not careful you may have the pressure washer set at too high a pressure to efficiently use detergent . The reason this is not a good idea is that you could end up blowing your detergent too thin a layer to be effective with all that power behind it. If you feel there is not enough water coming from the tip compared to other time this could be that dirt has blocked the tip and is clogging the water. One way to clean this is to remove the tip from the wand,then use a straightened paper clip to push any dirt clear . To do this go from the outside of the tip to the inside. Another method I like is to bang it on a hard surface to loosen the dirt. Remember there is a lot of water pressure forcing whatever dirt is in there into that small hole so it can really jam itself in there."

"text": "The Bibles Teaching The true Bible teaching of the devil and satan is very far removed from the popular idea that the devil is an immortal monster with a tail and a pitchfork, tempting man to rebel against God. We hope to show that the Bible teaches that the devil is actually sin which manifests itself in individuals and organisations. The idea of a “fallen angel” is a idea which has is routes in paganism and was adopted in to Christian theology. The ancient Greeks and Roman pagan religions for example proclaimed the idea of good and evil Gods who would strive together over the souls of men. These ideas find no real support in the Bible. A lot of assumption and “reading into” the wording has to be done to attempt to find support for this idea and in doing so many solid scriptural principles are broken. Why is this subject important? The mission of Jesus Christ was to save us from “the devil”:“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8“Forasmuch then as the children (mankind) are partakers of flesh and blood, he (Jesus) also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Hebrews 2:14This subject then is one of upmost importance to understand because Jesus Christ came to destroy the devil."

But consider how these words feel when you’re driving with a suspended license. They probably sound like impending doom. Needless to say, that’s not the type of situation you want to find yourself in. And while it might be tempting to think you can avoid traffic stops when you’re driving with a suspended license, it’s much easier – and much less worrisome – to take care of your driver’s license suspension the legitimate and legal way.

Also, your most likely alternatives to mediation may be undesirable. For example, you could decide to just live with the conflict, quit your job, try to transfer to another position, make an informal complaint against the person with whom you are in conflict, file a grievance (if you are a classified staff member), initiate disciplinary action (if you have the authority to do so), or try to work things out in a one-on-one conversation with the person with whom you are in conflict. In comparison with these options, mediation may look like your best alternative. To effectively manage or resolve problems, the discussion that takes place in mediation needs to be different from previous discussions. But how can it be different if the same people are talking about the same issues? The mediator (s) can help by establishing ground rules, slowing down the conversation, clarifying, and asking questions to promote understanding. But, having a mediator is no guarantee that you will have a successful outcome. Ultimately the success of mediation depends on you and the person with whom you'll be mediating."

Both of them are important parts of the “human musculoskeletal system”, also referred to as the locomotor system. They play vital roles in the functioning of the joints and bones. People usually talk about ligaments and tendons as interchangeable terms, but these two types of soft collagenous tissues actually execute various different functions for the human body. In reality, the two are different in terms of composition, placement, functions and nature of injuries. The first and major difference between tendons and ligaments is that tendons connect skeletal muscles to bones, while ligaments connect two different bones together. Tendons consist of parallel bundles of collagen fibers, whereas ligaments mainly consist of elastic fibers. Tendons are composed of elastin, collagen fibers, manganese, copper, calcium, and proteoglycans. Ligaments on the other hand, consist of a bunch of small packets of yielding collagen fibers. Ligament cells lie between the skeletal (bone) joints, in the region of uterus and the abdominal cavity."

"text": "Tendon and Ligament Injuries from prevention to prognosisby Michelle Delco, DVM, DACVS (Note: This article originally appeared in the May 2012 issue of Northwest Horse Source: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1wlkn/NWHSMAY2012/resources/index.htm)Tendon and ligament injuries are common causes of equine lameness, responsible for up to 30 percent of lameness in athletic horses by some estimates. With the changing of the seasons, following is some timely information on preventing tendon and ligament injuries, especially in those horses that may have had a quiet winter. An Anatomy Review A ligament is a fibrous tissue that connects bone to bone; a tendon is a fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. Both are made of long, thin collagen fibers, organized in bundles of thousands, like a rope. The tissue is extremely strong but also somewhat stretchy, which allows ligaments and tendons to support the weight of the horse and to act as shock absorbers. Injury occurs when these tissues are overloaded — either due to an athletic injury (repetitive/additive strain), a single traumatic event or a combination of both. There are many different types of tendon-ligament injuries. Common ones include superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) — classic “bowed tendon;” suspensory ligament — “high suspensory” and suspensory branch injuries; collateral ligaments — almost every joint has collateral ligaments that lend side-to-side stability and common joints involved are the coffin, fetlock and stifle; deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) injuries can occur behind the cannon bone, at the pastern or low in the foot. Diagnosing Tendon-Ligament Injuries Some of these injuries are relative easy to spot (e.g., bowed tendon), as they have heat, swelling and sensitivity. However, a surprising number of soft-tissue injuries (especially ones within the hoof capsule) are tough to diagnose."

It supports and balances our body’s weight while standing, as well as raising and moving the body in a forward and backward motion when walking. The ankle serves as foundation, shock absorber, and propulsion engine. The ankle is a hinge-type, freely moving joint that consists of a capsule containing fluid which both nourishes and lubricates the joint making motion possible between the foot and the leg. The foot and ankle contain:26 small bones (one-quarter of the bones in the human body).33 joints.more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.a network of blood vessels, nerves, skin, and soft tissue. These components work together to provide the body with support, balance, and mobility. Parts of the foot Structurally, the foot has three main parts: the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot. The forefoot is composed of the five toes (called phalanges) and their connecting long bones (metatarsals). Each toe is made up of several small bones. The big toe has two phalanges, two joints and two tiny, round sesamoid bones that enable it to move up and down."

"text": "\"Difference Between Tendon and Ligament Posted on April 10, 2012 by Naveen Tendon vs Ligament Tendons and ligaments are vital parts of the skeletal and muscular systems of animals, especially in vertebrates. Without tendons and ligaments, neither the bones nor muscles would have been connected. That means, muscles are attached to bones and bones are attached to each other through the connections of tendons and ligaments. However, the two structures have not been well understood to observe the differences between each other. Therefore, it would be important to describe both tendons and ligaments with some emphasis on the difference between them. Tendon Tendon is a type of connective tissue that connects muscles with bones. The structure of a tendon is solid and tough with the parallel arrangement of collagen fibres that are closely packed. As a whole, a tendon usually consists 30% of water, but apart from that collagen is the predominant presence in the tissue. In other words, the dry weight of a tendon comprises about more than 85% of collagen. In addition, small amounts of elastin, proteoglycans, and inorganic compounds are present in a tendon."

We also harvest stem cells from bone marrow to provide an additional cornucopia of regenerative cells. Although bone marrow has up to 1,000 times fewer stem cells per volume than fat, its unique growth factors and significant hematopoietic cells additional help to drive tissue regeneration. By utilizing the combination of these biologic solutions, we maximize the healing potential from an autologous stem cell procedure."

"text": "\"Comprised of eight separate bones called the carpals, the wrist acts a connector between the forearm and the hand. Running through this cluster of small, uniquely shaped bones are a series of tendons, strands of tough yet somewhat flexible tissue that connect muscles to bones, and ligaments, fibrous strings that link bones to different bones much like the hinges of a door connect to the vertical framed opening referred to as the door jam. The transverse carpal ligament holds the bones in position where the wrist and the palm of the hand meet on top of the space known as the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is a type of narrow compartment located between the wrist and palm that houses nine flexor tendons; these are responsible for giving the fingers the ability to curl or flex towards the hand. The median nerve also runs through this opening which gives the thumb, first two fingers and part of the third finger the ability to feel sensations. This nerve is also responsible for sending signals from the brain to move the thumb. Passing over the area of the carpal tunnel and acting as a type of hood that transforms the grooved channel into an enclosed passageway is the transverse carpal ligament. Ad The complicated setup of the wrist allows the hand to have a unique set of movements not found in any other area of the body. However, since the wrist and hand area lack the protective muscle bulk found in most other places of the body, it can easily sustain an injury. The transverse carpal ligament, also referred to as the \"\"flexor retinaculum \"\" or \"\"anterior annular ligament ,\"\" for example, is a superficial structure, meaning it lies close to the surface."

Aligned type I collagen fibres are the primary structural motif for tendon and ligament, and therefore biomaterials based on these structures are considered promising candidates for mediating regeneration of these tissues. However, despite considerable investigation, there remains no collagen-fibre-based biomaterial that has undergone clinical evaluation for this application. Recent research in this area has significantly enhanced our understanding of these complex and challenging biomaterials, and is reinvigorating interest in the development of such structures to recapitulate mechanical function. In this review we describe the progress to date towards a ligament or tendon regeneration template based on collagen fibre scaffolds. We highlight reports of particular relevance to the development of the underlying biomaterials science in this area. In addition, the potential for tailoring and manipulating the interactions between collagen fibres and biological systems, as hybrid biomaterial–biological ensembles, is discussed in the context of developing novel tissue engineering strategies for tendon and ligament. Previous article Next article Keywords Collagen fibre Tendon Ligament Regenerative medicine Review1. Introduction Tendon and ligament regeneration has proved an elusive goal for tissue engineering owing to the specialised nature of these tissues and the high mechanical demands placed on the extracellular matrix (ECM) of these structures in the human body. There is a significant clinical need for augmentative and substitutional approaches that enhance the structural performance of damaged and degenerated tissues."

When one considers these vital parts of the equine anatomy and the stresses placed upon them, it's a tribute to the horse's physical make-up that there aren't more injuries. Unfortunately, when an injury does occur to a tendon or ligament, it can be career-threatening or even life-threatening. Tendon and ligament injuries can occur to horses in all disciplines--even a lightly used trail horse. Once a tendon injury occurs, there often is a lengthy recuperation. Sometimes a horse will return to previous form, and sometimes he will not. There are a number of treatment protocols that can be considered for tendon and ligament injuries, but the goal should be to prevent injury, rather than seek a cure once the injury has occurred. With the help of several experts in the field, we will take an in-depth look at tendon and ligament structure and function to understand what happens to them in normal use, as well as what occurs when a tendon or ligament is injured. We also will examine ways in which tendons and ligaments can be conditioned to prevent injury.

The shoulder has a wider and more varied range of motion than any other joint in the body. Our shoulder allows us to do everything from paint to play basketball, but this flexibility also makes the shoulder one of the most unstable joints in the body. The shoulder joint is not held in place with bones, but rather an elaborate system of muscles, tendons and ligaments. Those most at risk for shoulder problems are athletes or workers with “overhead” movements—swimmers, throwers, painters and construction workers. The older we get, the more vulnerable we all are. The shoulder is not a single joint, but a complex arrangement of bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that is better called the shoulder girdle. The primary function of the shoulder girdle is to give strength and range of motion to the arm. The shoulder girdle includes three bones—the scapula, clavicle and humerus. There are three joints in the shoulder girdle."

"text": "Do Flat Feet Cause Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis? People with flat feet often experience a variety of symptoms which affect the way they walk, the way their body feels and the way they wear out their shoes. They may not realize that what is causing their problem is the change in the anatomy of either one or both of their feet, leading to inflammation at the bottom of the feet and heel pain. What are Flat Feet? A normal foot forms an arch when one is standing, and this is formed by the bones which are supported by ligaments and tendons. The foot’s longitudinal arch allows the inner part of the foot to be slightly raised above the ground. People with flat feet (also called pes planus) have fallen arches, so that the gap under the foot is lost. Anatomy of the Foot To understand what flat feet are, it is necessary to have a little background of the functional anatomy of the foot. The foot may be divided into three main parts, namely the forefoot , the midfoot and the hindfoot. The forefoot consists of the toes (phalanges) and the thin longer (metatarsal) bones connected them."

"text": "Many ligaments make up knee’s structure This is an excerpt from Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition With Web Resource, by Robert Behnke, HSD. Learn anatomy with practical exercises and activities in Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition With Web Resource. Like all synovial joints, the knee joint has a capsular ligament. This capsular ligament is unlike others because it consists of portions of other ligaments and fibrous expansions of other structures that cross the knee joint and become part of the capsule (figures 12.10 and 12.11). The components of the capsule include portions of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments and fibrous expansions of the quadriceps femoris, the iliotibial band, the vastus muscles, the sartorius muscle, and the semimembranosus muscle. Probably the best illustration of the pure capsular ligament is seen at the posterior ( popliteal space) of the knee joint. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee provide stability to either side of the joint, essentially preventing abduction and adduction of the joint and making it a uniaxial joint that flexes and extends in the sagittal plane. The medial collateral ligament runs from the medial condyle of the femur to the medial condyle of the tibia, with some deep fibers attaching to the medial meniscus (discussed later in this chapter). The lateral collateral ligament runs from the lateral condyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Note that the lateral collateral ligament, unlike the medial collateral ligament, does not have fibers attaching to the lateral meniscus."

[ 1] It is one of the most frequently injured structures during high impact or sporting activities. [ 2] The ACL does not heal when torn, and surgical reconstruction is the standard treatment in the field of sports medicine. [ 3] Such reconstruction aims at restoring the kinematics and stability of the injured knee, to prevent future degenerative changes. [ 4] [5] Therefore, an adequate understanding of the complex anatomy, function, and biomechanics of the ACL is critical to elucidate the mechanisms of injury, understand the fate of chronic ACL deficiency, and to improve surgical reconstruction. Development of the ACLThe knee originates from vascular femoral and tibial mesenchyme in the fourth week of gestation between the blastoma of femur and tibia. [ 6] [7] By 9 weeks, the Cruciate ligaments are composed of numerous immature fibroblasts having scanty cytoplasm and fusiform nuclei. [ 8] After week 20, the remaining development consists of marked growth with little change in form. At these stages two main bundles are already detectable, but the bundles seemed more parallel when compared to the bundle orientation of the adult ACL. [ 9] It is surrounded by a mesentery-like fold of synovium that originates from the posterior capsular apparatus of the knee joint."

Comparatively, there is much more movement at the pectoral girdle than at the pelvic girdle. There is very little movement of the pelvic girdle because of its connection with the sacrum at the base of the axial skeleton. The pelvic girdle is less range of motion because it was designed to stabilize and support the body. Muscles of the Thigh What would happen if the pelvic girdle, which attaches the lower limbs to the torso, were capable of the same range of motion as the pectoral girdle? For one thing, walking would expend more energy if the heads of the femurs were not secured in the acetabula of the pelvis. The body’s center of gravity is in the area of the pelvis. If the center of gravity were not to remain fixed, standing up would be difficult as well. Therefore, what the leg muscles lack in range of motion and versatility, they make up for in size and power, facilitating the body’s stabilization, posture, and movement."

These creatures are elliptical in shape, have seven equal pairs of legs, and two pairs of antennae. Isopods are primitive crustaceans related to crayfish, crabs, and lobsters. While most crustaceans must live in or very near water, the terrestrial isopods are the only large group of crustacea to become adapted for life on land. Like all members of the crustaceans, they breathe with gills, but these gills must stay moist to operate so the terrestrial isopods are condemned to a life in damp places, usually underneath something like decaying wood or leaves. While independent of the water, they must restrict their activities to times and places where humidity is relatively high, so they are nocturnal and seasonal (encountered more frequently in damp rather than dry weather). And to conserve water, they don't expel their waste through water-based urine, but directly into the air as ammonia. A sowbug ( Trachelipus rathkei) at left and a pillbug ( Armadillidium vulgare) on right with inset showing pillbugrolled up in defense posture. To cope with the problems of terrestrial life, the terrestrial isopods have a thick, hard exoskeleton where each body segment is topped with an armorlike plate that overlaps the plate on the section beneath. When disturbed, many of these isopods can curl themselves into a ball; this protects the softer underparts and appendages from attack and desiccation."

The coelom is reduced in leeches, and setae are lacking a few specialized forms, including leeches. A major invertebrate phylum of the animal kingdom, the annelids number more than 9,000 species distributed among three classes: the marine worms (Polychaeta), which are divided into free-moving and sedentary, or tube-dwelling, forms; the earthworms ( Oligochaeta ); and the leeches (Hirudinea). General features Distribution and abundance Annelids are found worldwide in all types of habitats, especially oceanic waters, fresh waters, and damp soils. Most polychaetes live in the ocean, where they either float, burrow, wander on the bottom, or live in tubes they construct; their colours range from brilliant to dull, and some species can produce light. The feather duster ( Manayunkia speciosa) inhabits the Great Lakes and some rivers of the United States. The polychaetes include more than 6,000 known species, which are about evenly divided between free-moving and tube-dwelling forms. The oligochaetes number about 3,250 known species. Oligochaetes, including earthworms, burrow into soil; certain small oligochaetes are found in fresh water, and a few are marine, usually inhabiting estuarial or other shallow waters. Leeches, which number about 300 species, inhabit freshwater or humid environments and are carnivorous or parasitic on other organisms— e.g., all marine leeches are parasitic on fish."

Those lineages that have colonized land habitats are still beholden to water, as they require damp air for breathing.

Gills only function when they are wet, so pill bugs must inhabit places in which the air holds a lot of water. When the ambient humidity is high -- such as after rainy weather -- the pill bugs are able to move about in the open.

The wildlife of Antarctica are extremophiles, having to adapt to the dryness, low temperatures, and high exposure common in Antarctica. The extreme weather of the interior contrasts to the relatively mild conditions on the Antarctic Peninsula and the subantarctic islands, which have warmer temperatures and more liquid water. Much of the ocean around the mainland is covered by sea ice. The oceans themselves are a more stable environment for life, both in the water column and on the seabed. There is relatively little diversity in Antarctica compared to much of the rest of the world. Terrestrial life is concentrated in areas near the coast. Flying birds nest on the milder shores of the Peninsula and the subantarctic islands. Eight species of penguins inhabit Antarctica and its offshore islands. They share these areas with seven pinniped species."

This water five to ten miles below the sunwarmed surface waters may not see the sun for hundreds of years and must come in contact with air if it is to increase oxygen content. The more salty water is, the heavier it becomes, so it sinks. The seafloor hosts the saltiest waters in the ocean. The ecology of the abyssal benthos features very slow rates of decay, slow metabolism in all animals, which translates into slow growth, slow reproduction, and very long life. Many kinds of animals have succeeded in adapting to these conditions. Some are bottom-feeding, or demersal fish. Many live on the seafloor surface, and either eat each other or live on the very slim pickings that slowly fall down from the surface--dead plankton, dead algae, mostly microscopic. Many meiofauna do well by eating protozoans, which in turn eat bacteria. Most abyssal animals are hungry."

Geographic Distribution Found in most regions of the World Ocean. Habitat Giant isopods inhabit depths of 170 to 2140 m (550 to 7020 ft). Bottom dwellers, they prefer mud or clay seafloor. Physical Characteristics Giant isopods are invertebrates with dorso-ventrally compressed bodies that are protected by thick and strong calcareous exoskeletons composed of overlapping segments. The first shell segment is fused to the head and most posterior segments are often fused to their body, forming a caudal shield over the abdomen. The top of the first shell segment protrudes out over the isopod’s large, fixed eyes. These compound eyes are spaced far apart and have over 4,000 individual facets. Light bounces off a reflective layer at the back of the eyes called the tapetum, making the eyes appear to glow."

When the fusion of sperm and egg produces a zygote, the stage is set for a cascade of developmental events that lead to the production of the phenotype. The central dogma of biology holds that DNA from alleles at a genetic locus translates into proteins. Structural proteins are used to contract the cells, and enzymatic proteins provide the basis for cellular machinery. Cells in the developing zygote interact mechanically or chemically with adjacent cells, or cells can produce \"\"messengers\"\" that facilitate the cell-cell interaction at distance. Cell-cell and organ-mediated interactions cause a cascade of events that we collectively refer to as development. The embryo is gradually organized into a functioning animal with nerves and organ systems that begin to regulate behaviors. Those behaviors have functional or selective consequences. Individuals selectively live, breed and die according to their phenotype. Gene frequencies change across the generation and the species evolves."

Axis scale: millions of years ago. The Silurian is a geologic period and system spanning 24.6 million years from the end of the Ordovician Period, at 443.8 million years ago ( Mya ), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, 419.2 Mya. [ 8] As with other geologic periods, the rock beds that define the period's start and end are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by several million years. The base of the Silurian is set at a series of major Ordovician–Silurian extinction events when 60% of marine species were wiped out. A significant evolutionary milestone during the Silurian was the diversification of jawed and bony fish. Multi-cellular life also began to appear on land in the form of small, bryophyte -like and vascular plants that grew beside lakes, streams, and coastlines, and terrestrial arthropods are also first found on land during the Silurian. However, terrestrial life would not greatly diversify and affect the landscape until the Devonian.

Currently, my aquarium is quite healthy — in fact, my soft corals have been reproducing and my rock is covered with coralline algae. I add several trace element supplements and do small water changes every month. Recently, I have noticed writers in your magazine and heard local hobbyists mentioning “live sand.” I have yet to get a satisfactory definition of this material and the benefits of using it. That is why I am writing you. What is live sand, where do I get it, how much should I put in my aquarium and how do I keep it clean? A. In 1993, at the Marine Aquarium Conference of North America (MACNA), Julian Sprung shared an idea that was new to the majority of American aquarists. This idea, which had been employed by European aquarists for many years, was to place sand on the bottom of the aquarium — not just any sand, but sand that is taken from near a coral reef, kept damp in seawater and placed directly into the aquarium. It is referred to as live sand, because it contains its original micro- and macro-fauna."

You need to identify the types of variables in an experiment in order to choose the correct method of analysis. Introduction One of the first steps in deciding which statistical test to use is determining what kinds of variables you have. When you know what the relevant variables are, what kind of variables they are, and what your null and alternative hypotheses are, it's usually pretty easy to figure out which test you should use. I classify variables into three types: measurement variables, nominal variables, and ranked variables. You'll see other names for these variable types and other ways of classifying variables in other statistics references, so try not to get confused. Isopod crustacean (pillbug or roly-poly), Armadillidium vulgare. You'll analyze similar experiments, with similar null and alternative hypotheses, completely differently depending on which of these three variable types are involved. For example, let's say you've measured variable X in a sample of 56 male and 67 female isopods ( Armadillidium vulgare, commonly known as pillbugs or roly-polies), and your null hypothesis is \"\"Male and female A. vulgare have the same values of variable X.\"\" If variable X is width of the head in millimeters, it's a measurement variable, and you'd compare head width in males and females with a two-sample t –test or a one-way analysis of variance (anova). If variable X is a genotype (such as AA, Aa, or aa ), it's a nominal variable, and you'd compare the genotype frequencies in males and females with a Fisher's exact test."

"text": "aquatic_isopod_8-13-15.jpg Some freshwater isopods look a lot like the familiar land isopods that live under rocks in gardens. Cliff White Family : There are more than 10,000 species of isopods globally; about 130 species live in freshwater in North America. Description : Isopods are usually dark brown or gray, flattened top-to-bottom, many-segmented, with head, thorax, and abdomen not immediately distinct; eyes compound and not on stalks; 2 pairs of antennae (one pair large, the other pair tiny); 7 pairs of walking legs that are all pretty much the same (iso- means “same” or “equal,” and pod means “foot”); 5 pairs of 2-parted pleopods (gills), each protected by a platelike operculum; the rear end of the body (last abdominal segment) with uropods and a telson (analogous to the “tail fan” of a crayfish). Some of the aquatic species look almost exactly like the terrestrial isopods known as sowbugs, pillbugs, or roly-polies. Some common species: Asellus spp. are some of the most common freshwater isopods. Caecidotea spp. are mostly whitish or pale-colored cave-dwellers. Similar species: Amphipods (scuds, or sideswimmers) are flattened side-to-side, not top-to-bottom. Freshwater shrimp have a carapace covering the head and upper body."

Roly-polies are harmless little armored creatures who serve important decomposing functions in most terrestrial habitats. Content to hide with a dozen or so of their kind under a piece of bark, emerging only to explore and snack on a piece of fruit, roly-polies are undemanding pets. Roly-Poly Basics Roly-polies, known to scientists as isopods, are tiny terrestrial crustaceans who live under logs and stones and within the leaf litter of most terrestrial ecosystems. Of the more than 10,000 species found worldwide, each has sessile eyes, 10 legs, a set of large antennae, a set of small antennae and three primary body parts: head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax itself is further divided into seven individual segments. While most isopods will defend themselves by curling up slightly, in many species, the head and abdomen do not touch.. Some -- members of the family Armadillidiidae -- defend themselves by rolling into a tight ball, which earned them colloquial names such as roly-poly and pill bug. Caging Roly-polies do not require much space. A 10-gallon fish tank or similarly sized plastic cage will provide enough for room for several of the critters. Roly-polies are gregarious in the wild and should be kept in groups."

Essentially land shrimp. They need a constantly moist (not sodden) environment like the inside of a rotting log or the compost pile. That is also what they eat, forest debris, decaying plants parts. Try them with you kitchen scraps like apple, or lettuce and a fine selection of fresh leaf trimmings from the garden. To keeep them in a terrarium you can use an old auqarium with a shallow dish of water surounded with soil and moss to keep them in the damp they like.

What Do Lizards Eat in the Wild Geckos (Family Gekkonidae)Texas Banded Gecko These lizards primarily eat soft-bodied insects (termites in particular) such as beetles, small terrestrial arachnids, and some other arthropods that are almost entirely nocturnal. Geckos typically prey these victims in the dark and they also eat their skin which they shed. Mediterranean Gecko These geckos are known to consume cockroaches (especially American baby cockroaches), caterpillars, beetles, moths, ants, homopterans, earwigs, and even mosquitoes. In fact, Mediterranean geckos capture almost every insect that is observed flying in the night. Iguanids (Family Iguanidae)Green Anole Green Anoles usually rely on moths, lacewings, cockroaches, mayflies, caterpillars, flies, beetles, crickets, mealworms, and damselflies, insect larvae, soft-bodied insects, and many kinds of spiders.

All food chains start with energy from the sun. This energy is captured by plants. Thus the living part of a food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal. Plants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water."

The Sun provides the energy that is used by the Green Plants. The Sun is the original source of energy in all food chains on the surface of the Earth and in the upper parts of the Oceans. Primary Producer. The green plants are the Primary Producers for the food chain. The energy from the Sun is converted by the plants into food. Primary Consumers."

"text": "Ecology Ecology- the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings [1]. The environment in which an organism lives in is described by physical factors. These physical factors are abiotic and biotic factors. Abiotic factors do not live such as water, rocks and sunlight. Biotic factors are organisms such as a bird, dolphin and humans. When these biotic and abiotic factors interact with their environment it is known as a ecosystem. There are six different types of ecosystems; tundra (cold & dry), taiga (cold & moist), temperate forest (seasonal hot/cold), desert (hot & dry), tropical rain (hot & moist) and lastly savana (seasonal moist/dry). There is a process in nature that creates these ecosystems. It starts at longitude 0 degrees. 0 degrees is the savana ecosystem. The sun beats down on it making it very hot."

"text": "\"Explain how energy is transferred through food chains and food webs in an ecosystem Edit 0 10 …Answers to the 9 mark question on energy transfer Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding. The first trophic level (producers) is that of plants which are examples of autotrophs – they make their own food. Photosynthesis occurs when the plants use solar energy and convert it into chemical energy so it can be stored in a carbon compound. Once this has happened the energy can be taken up by the primary consumers – these are in the second trophic level (herbivores and omnivores). Secondary consumers also need to gain energy in some way, and this is by eating the primary consumers that have gained energy from the producers, this means that the second trophic level has successfully transferred energy into the third level containing omnivores and carnivores. A succession in energy transferral means that a food web or food chain has a tertiary and/or quaternary trophic level which can contain carnivores and omnivores which are plant and animal eaters (this includes humans). This transfer in energy is fairly efficient for the organisms involved as around 10% of light energy that is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis is transferred through the trophic levels, the rest is lost in respiration, as heat, faeces and urine. Not all of the energy can be passed along a food web or chain as it must be used in other things too, so it cannot be 100% efficient. Kirsty Leithall. The food chain begins with producers, organisms such as green plants, that can make their own food."

According to most accounts, the rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents The Olympic Flag made its debut at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. At the end of each Olympic Games, the mayor of that host-city presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city.

Awards: Olympic gold medal in boxing, 1968; World Heavyweight Championship, 1973, 1994. Sidelights Olympic gold medalist and boxing champion George Foreman has held the world heavyweight title twice, and became the oldest man ever to win it after making a comeback to regain the honor in 1994. Although he retired from boxing in 1997, he is still a popular and highly visible figure, and has made millions by selling a home grill, the Lean, Mean, Fat–Reducing Grilling Machine. He is also a preacher and the founder of a youth center in Houston, Texas. George Foreman Born in Marshall, Texas, Foreman grew up there and later in Houston's rough Fifth Ward, where his mother moved to look for work. When Foreman was five, J. D. Foreman, the man Foreman believed was his father, left the family, leaving Foreman and his six siblings with their mother. It was a daunting load for a single mother, and Foreman often roamed the streets of Houston, getting into trouble. He was bigger and stronger than most boys his age, and he wandered the streets, living in abandoned houses, picking pockets, mugging drunks, and making trouble for everyone he met."

Wrestling is one of the oldest sports! Ancient Bible history says it was first done by Adam's two sons, they were fighting! Others say it was invented a couple thousand years before Christ. But even if that is disputed, wrestling itself was probably started as soon as we became human, unless we were wrestling in a prior life form like chimps, apes, and monkeys! Professional wrestling started in late 1800's early 1900'. The 1st heavy weight champ, we know about was crowned somewhere between 1904 and 1915. It was the last sport in the first Olympics!"

"text": "\"Teeny, Tiny Gymnasts August 21, 2008 @ 11:15amby Freakonomics There has been endless speculation during the Beijing Olympics as to whether the Chinese gymnasts are old enough to compete under Olympic rules, which require participants to turn 16 in the year that they compete. Blog reader Chris Bourdon decided to stop talking about it and actually do some interesting data analysis. Here is the e-mail message that Chris sent me: I thought it would be interesting, in the wake of the controversy over the ages of the female Chinese gymnasts, to see if the numbers would say anything about their ages. So, putting “looks” and official government age documentation aside, how do the sizes of the Chinese gymnasts in question compare to the general Chinese population? And how do Olympic gymnasts compare to their countrymen in other countries? Attached, find charts for the Chinese and U. S. 2008 women’s gymnastics teams. The charts show [statistics for] each gymnast’s height, weight, and officially reported age [along with] overlaying growth data from each respective country. The Chinese growth charts are from 1965 and can be found here. Fwcc.org has links to more recent charts but [they] lack underlying data points, which makes graphing inaccurate. Suffice to say that Chinese women have gotten bigger across each percentile over the last 40-plus years."

"text": "John L. Sullivan Revisited: Part 3By Thomas Hauser The Marquis of Queensberry Rules that John L. Sullivan proselytized for throughout his career didn’t make boxing less violent. Gloves were worn to protect fists, not an opponent’s brain. And under the new rules, a fighter could no longer gain thirty seconds of relief by falling to the ground. But as Elliott Gorn writes, “The Queensberry Rules redrew the arbitrary border separating acceptable deviance from unpardonable vice. They sanitized prize fighting just enough to make it a legal spectator sport and changed the social composition of the crowd and the environment in which fights were held. The ring continued to call forth images of primitive brutality, of lower-class and ethnic peoples venting their violent passions. But gloves and new rules appeared to curb the animality sufficiently to allow a titillating sense of danger inside safe and civilized boundaries.” Nowhere was this change more evident than in New Orleans. In 1890, the New Orleans City Council voted to allow fights that were contested under Queensberry Rules as long as those fights were not held on a Sunday, no liquor was served, and the promoter contributed fifty dollars to charity. One year later, the New Orleans Olympic Club (one of several athletic associations in the city) mounted a successful court challenge to Louisiana’s statute against prizefighting insofar as it related to gloved fights."

"text": "\"The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, were held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the games, with the International Olympic Committee choosing Berlin over Barcelona in April, 1931. Although the bid was won before the Nazi Party gained power in Germany, some leaders in the government saw the Olympics as an opportunity to promote their Nazi ideology. Hitler was convinced by Josef Göbbels to allow the games to take place in Germany. Preparation for the games started in the early 1930s. Hitler used the Olympics as a tool for propaganda. Film-maker Leni Riefenstahl, a favorite of Hitler, was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to film the Games. The film, titled \"\"Olympia\"\", originated many of the techniques now commonplace to the filming of sports. By allowing only members of the \"\"Aryan race\"\" to compete for Germany, Hitler further promoted his ideological belief of racial supremacy. Although Germany won most of the medals in the Olympics, other athletes, such as African-American athlete Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals, showed great athleticism through performance."

Around the bend, leaning in the tall grass, is a corroded shed holding ancient farming equipment. Every so often a horse trots down the craggy road, pulling a splintered cart and a rider toward the center of one of this country’s poorest towns. Late Tuesday morning, the man who beat Mayweather, Serafim Todorov, stood on the curb here. He was in front of the seven-floor concrete apartment building where he, his wife, his son and his pregnant daughter-in-law live in a modest first-floor unit. Todorov talked with his son, Simeon. He watched a horse clop by. He smoked a cigarette. Then he went inside, sat in a chair and, like a teakettle perched on a glowing stove, steamed to a rolling boil as he remembered what happened in Atlanta 19 years ago. The victory by Todorov, then 27, over Mayweather, then 19, in the featherweight semifinals of the 1996 Olympic boxing tournament was the last time Mayweather lost in the ring."

There are three classes of medal: gold, awarded to the winner; silver, awarded to the 1st runner-up; and bronze, awarded to the second runner-up. The granting of awards is laid out in detail in the Olympic protocols. Medal designs have varied considerably since the first Olympic Games in 1896, particularly in size and weight. A standard obverse (front) design of the medals for the Summer Olympic Games began in 1928 and remained for many years, until its replacement at the 2004 Games as the result of controversy surrounding the use of the Roman Colosseum rather than a building representing the Games' Greek roots. The medals of the Winter Olympic Games never had a common design, but regularly feature snowflakes and the event where the medal has been won. In addition to generally supporting their Olympic athletes, some countries provide sums of money and gifts to medal winners, depending on the classes and number of medals won. Total medals won are used to rank competitor nations in medal tables, these may be compiled for a specific discipline, for a particular Games, or over all time. These totals always total event placements rather than actual medals — a victory in a team event (such as relay race) equates to a single gold for such rankings even though each team member would receive a physical medal."

Here’s everything you need to know. First, the Bars Similar shaft size, but the ends are much different Standard weights are often found in home gyms. What you’ll see right away is olympic bars are thicker on the ends. But that’s actually just one of many differences. Standard bars are exactly 1″ in diameter throughout the whole length (besides the shoulders that stop the weight plates). They are made to take standard weight plates. Standard bars weigh 13 to 19 lbs or so. That’s for solid steel ones. Special “cardio” bars are hollow, only 5 lbs, and are not meant to take much weight."
