If the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain is not restored within a few minutes the victim will die."

"text": "\"Fainting and Loss of Consciousness By Peter Jaret Many people feel lightheaded every once in a while, so lightheaded that they may faint -- that is, pass out momentarily. Fainting is not the same as being asleep or unconscious. When a person faints, it's usually temporary and the person can be revived in a few minutes. Someone who is unconsciousness, however, won't respond to attempts to revive him. An unconscious person can't cough or clear his throat, which can be dangerous if something is stuck in his throat or airway. Fainting often results when blood flow to the brain is temporarily inadequate. This can happen as a result of stress, grief, overheating, dehydration, exhaustion, or illness; fainting may also occur after taking certain medications. Standing for an extended period in very hot weather -- especially with locked knees -- can also make people pass out. Inactivity can cause blood to settle in the lower parts of the body, reducing the amount of blood flowing into the brain. Soldiers standing at attention for long periods are prone to fainting, for example."

"text": "Home | Emergency | First Aid How to Perform CPR on a Dog Source: Pet Wave, Updated on October 02, 2017The “ABC” steps below can help you to remember how to perform canine CPR in the event of an emergency. In order to correctly perform these procedures, owners should discuss them with their veterinarian ahead of time, so that they are prepared in case an emergency situation occurs. DO NOT practice CPR on healthy animals, as it can lead to serious injuries, including broken bones and a collapsed lung. Classes are available in many areas to train owners how best to respond to animal emergencies. Step 1: A for Airway Gently open the dog’s mouth, pull the tongue out, and try to determine if the dog is breathing. If possible gently straighten out the dog’s head and neck, but do not extend the neck out or you can cause further injury. Look at the dog’s chest for any sign of respiration, or hold your hand to the dog’s mouth to see if you can feel any signs of breathing or respiration. Once you are sure the dog is not breathing, perform mouth-to-snout. Hold the dog’s mouth closed, cup your hand around the dog’s nose, and try breathing two breaths directly into the dog’s snout. If the breaths go in proceed to Step 2."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Coat of Arms of Australia A proposed act to introduce a Cap-and-Trade emissions trading scheme to Australia, aimed at being the main element of Australia's climate policy The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (or CPRS) was a cap-and-trade emissions trading scheme for anthropogenic greenhouse gases proposed by the Rudd government, as part of its climate change policy, [1] which had been due to commence in Australia in 2010. It marked a major change in the energy policy of Australia. The policy began to be formulated in April 2007, when the federal Labor Party was in Opposition and the six Labor-controlled states commissioned an independent review on energy policy, the Garnaut Climate Change Review, which published a number of reports. After Labor won the 2007 federal election and formed government, it published a Green Paper on climate change for discussion and comment. The Federal Treasury then modelled some of the financial and economic impacts of the proposed CPRS scheme. The Rudd government published a final White Paper on 15 December 2008, and announced that legislation was intended to take effect in July 2010; but the legislation for the CPRS (aka ETS) failed to gain the numbers in the Senate and was twice rejected creating a double dissolution election trigger. A bitter political debate within the Coalition Opposition saw Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull lose the leadership to the anti-CPRS Tony Abbott. The Rudd government did not call an election and in April 2010, Rudd deferred plans for the CPRS. After the 2010 federal election, the Gillard Government was able to get the Carbon Pricing Mechanism (CPM) passed into law as part of the Clean Energy Futures Package (CEF) in 2011, and became effective on 1 July 2012. However, after the 2013 federal election there was a change in government, and the Abbott Government repealed the CEF package on 17 July 2014. ["

"text": "\"First Aid Emergency Preparedness What's the Best CPR Mask for Giving Mouth-to-Mouth? Maybe the Best Bet is Nothing at All By Rod Brouhard, EMT-PUpdated June 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Masks like these are very hard to use correctly. A reader asks what the best type of CPR mask a lay rescuer should use when doing mouth-to-mouth. He is concerned that a barrier device, supplied with an AED he and his wife purchased for their home, would be difficult to use. He asks if one of the many other products available would be better for him and his wife to use, should they need to perform CPR. First, it's important to realize that a CPR mask, officially known as a barrier device, is for keeping you -- the rescuer -- safe. It doesn't make rescue breaths more effective than straight mouth-to-mouth. Also, most rescuers aren't going to give rescue breaths anyway. The American Heart Association no longer recommends mouth to mouth during adult CPR. For an intimate partner or immediate family member, a barrier device is almost never necessary unless the patient is known to have an infectious disease."

"text": "\"Mouth-to-mouth ventilation's role in CPR questioned September 16, 1997A blue-ribbon panel of experts assembled by the American Heart Association (AHA) has called into question the role of mouth-to-mouth ventilation as an integral part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Their analysis, to be published as a \"\"Special Report\"\" in the September 16, 1997 issue of the AHA's journal, Circulation, will also appear in coming issues of Annals of Emergency Medicine, Journal of Respiratory Care, and Resuscitation. Although they are not yet ready to change the current AHA guidelines for performance of CPR, the Ventilation Working Group's consensus statement suggests that in many cases of adult cardiac arrest, mouth-to-mouth ventilation as a part of CPR rarely helps and may even harm the patient. The experts believe that mouth-to-mouth ventilation can interfere with the rescuer's efforts to perform chest compressions and cause significant adverse effects. It makes CPR more difficult to teach, learn and perform, and dissuades bystanders from initiating therapy. More than 350,000 people die from cardiac arrest each year in the United States. Nationally, only a little more than 30 percent receive any form of CPR. In Chicago, that rate falls to 22 percent. \"\" Early CPR using chest compression clearly saves lives,\"\" said Lance Becker, MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of Chicago and chairman of the AHA panel, \"\"but in part because of the complications, complexity and concern associated with mouth-to-mouth ventilation, CPR is not performed for the majority of those who need it. \"\" More research needs to be done, the panel insists, to prepare new guidelines for the year 2000."

"text": "CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is a lifesaving technique that greatly increases the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims. It is a rescue and lifesaving technique that each individual should know. The short answer is that it’s a procedure that one person applies to another in order to maintain a person’s blood circulation and oxygen levels in the body by compressing the chest as well as by breathing air into their lungs. Now that you understand what it is an a nutshell, let’s break down the letters, C-P-R, one by one!CPR Stands for a lot Cardio Cardio refers to the heart, the blood-pumping muscle in our chest cavity, that contracts and expands over sixty times each minute. The heart muscle is automatically driven by electrical impulses that keep the body alive. The heart’s function is to pump oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body’s vital organs. When the heart stops, oxygen does not reach the vital organs and they malfunction. Within minutes, tissue death begins which can create a tremendous amount of problems, such as brain damage or ultimately death. Pulmonary Pulmonary refers to the lungs."

If you remember your ‘DR ABC’ then you won’t go far wrong when dealing with an emergency situation! Here’s a quick reminder of what DR ABC stands for: D: Danger The first thing you should do in an emergency is check for any dangers to you or the casualty. R: Response After checking for danger you should check for a ‘response’. This is just a fancy way of saying ‘try to wake the person up’. To check for a response you should shout loudly and gently shake the casualty’s shoulders. A: Airway If the casualty does not wake up then you need to ensure their airway is open. To open an airway you need to tilt their head backwards and lift the chin. By doing this you move the tongue of the back of the throat and prevent them from ‘swallowing their own tongue’. B: Breathing Whilst keeping their airway open you should check for breathing for a maximum of 10 seconds."

If oxygen does not get to these parts of the body the person will die. But CPR is designed so that if it is not done quite right then you won't harm the victim. Really the person is already technically dead so you won't kill him/her if you don't do exactly 30 compressions or if you don't do them fast enough.

But, do you know where did it come from? How did CPR evolved? Modern CPR developed in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Let’s have a look into the history of CPR. CPR timeline• 1960s-1970s 1. Although, the Paris Academy of Sciences had recommended mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for drowning victims in late 1700s, but Dr. James Elam and Dr. Peter Safar are considered as the main discoverers of mouth-to-mouth ventilation.2. Later, Dr. Peter Safar wrote a book called “ABC of Resuscitation, but the CPR technique didn’t begin until 1960s when people began to realize the importance of performing CPR in life-threatening situations. The American Heart Association (AHA) became the forerunner of CPR training programs for the general public.• 1990s 1.

"text": "BLS is an acronym which produces some confusion for people looking in to a CPR class. In an emergency medicine setting BLS typically stands for Basic Life Support in contrast to Advanced Life Support. Basic Life Support denotes a level care which patients will receive in an emergency. Often basic life support level care includes things outside the scope of a CPR class like oxygen administration, bleeding control, and splinting. Advanced Life Support care refers to more complex and invasive things like intravenous medications, breathing tubes, and cardiac monitoring. In the context of a CPR class, denoting that the class is “BLS” typically means it is designed for professional rescuers like paramedics, nurses, lifeguards, etc. Most people who just want the knowledge of CPR will be well served by taking a “lay rescuer”, “non-professional rescuer”, or “community” level class. BLS Certification Online Guide 2018There are many organizations which offer CPR certifications. Essentially the certifications are either for professional rescuers or lay rescuers. The American Heart Association (AHA) is one of the main guiding forces for most CPR classes on the market so while different companies will call them different things most classes are based on the AHA’s curriculums."

"text": "\"Definitionby Joshua J. Mark published on 28 April 2011The Aegean Sea lies between the coast of Greece and Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey ). It contains over 2,000 islands which were settled by the ancient Greeks; the largest among them being Crete (Kriti) and the best known and most often photographed, Santorini ( Thera or Thira). Both of these islands have strong associations with ancient Greek history and myth in that Crete features significantly in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur while the destruction of Santorini by a volcano eruption has long been considered a probable source for Plato 's description of Atlantis in his dialogues of the Critias and Timaeus. Name Origin In ancient times there were various explanations for the name Aegean. It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or after Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the \"\"sea goat\"\", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died on his famous expedition to Crete to defeat the Minotaur. A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word αἶγες – aiges = \"\"waves\"\" (Hesychius of Alexandria; metaphorical use of αἴξ (aix) \"\"goat\"\"), hence \"\"wavy sea\"\", cf. also αἰγιαλός (aigialos) \"\"coast\"\". The Aegean Sea features prominently in many of the most famous Greek myths. Aegean Trade The early inhabitants of Greece, the Mycenaens, relied heavily on the Aegean for trade and, it seems, traveled as far as Spain and Egypt. Commercial sea trading became their main source of income and, in time, they colonized the various islands of the Aegean archipelago and produced various commodities such as figs, grapes, wine, raisins, honey, wheat, assorted vegetables, and herbs."

The island is dotted with magnificent palaces, including labyrinthine Knossos, Phaistos and Mallia, and Minoan art and traditions have captivated and influenced the Mediterranean world for thousands of years. Who were the Minoans? Despite their celebrated legacy, the Minoan civilization remains shrouded in mystery."

The Minoan civilization flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete during the height of the Bronze Age (c. 2000-c. 1500 BCE). By virtue of their unique art and architecture, the ancient Minoans made significant contributions to the subsequent development of Western civilization. However, we still know less about the Minoans than the civilizations of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Professor Louise Hitchcock, an archaeologist specializing in Aegean archaeology at Melbourne University, introduces us to the world of the ancient Minoans and the importance of Aegean archaeology in this exclusive interview with James Blake Wiener of Ancient History Encyclopedia (AHE).

These warlike people sailed to other cities on the Aegean Sea and raided them; their most famous raid Troy around 1200 B. C. The Tojan War became a symbol of heroic actions.

Shepherd http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/The Mediterranean country of ancient Greece (Hellas) was composed of many individual city-states ( poleis) that were not unified until the Macedonian kings Philip and Alexander the Great incorporated them into their Hellenistic empire. Hellas was centered on the western side of the Aegean Sea with a northern section that was part of the Balkan peninsula and a southern section known as the Peloponnese that is separated from the northern landmass by the Isthmus of Corinth. The northern section is best known for the polis of Athens; the Peloponnese, for Sparta. There were also thousands of Greek islands in the Aegean sea, and colonies on the eastern side of the Aegean. To the west, the Greeks established colonies in and near Italy. Even the Egyptian city of Alexandria was part of the Hellenistic Empire. Historical Maps These historical maps of ancient Greece take Greece from prehistoric times through the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Many are from the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection Historical Maps: Historical Atlas, by William R. Shepherd.

The Phoenician site of Byblos has been settled since 6000 BC , while the city of Tyre has been in use since 2700 BC. So my question is how much cultural diffusion occurred between these two civilizations ? Minoans were an island Country and If I am not mistaken it has been shown that there was evidence of deforestation on ancient Crete. This leads me to believe the Phoenicians would have been a reasonable trade partner due to their natural resources of Cedar trees. Trade between Phoenicia and others had to been going off for quite some time in the Mediterranean because cedars of Lebanon are found and dated to 3200 BC in Hierakonpolis Egypt. The City of Byblos has also shown evidence of being destroyed and rebuilt several times around 2000 BC. This Coincidentally is around the same the the Minoans rise to prominence. Now I am by no means assuming these two went hand in hand but I would like others opinions on the matter. I simply cannot see how Phoenicians were considered the masters of the sea while at the same time I hear that the Minoans were as well masters of the sea."

This set of conflicts has had a large effect on Greek-Turkish relations since the 1970s. It has twice led to crises coming close to the outbreak of military hostilities, in 1987 and in early 1996. The issues in the Aegean fall into several categories: The delimitation of the territorial waters,The delimitation of the national airspace,The delimitation of exclusive economic zones and the use of the continental shelf,The delimitation of Flight Information Regions (FIR), and their significance for the control of military flight activity,The issue of the demilitarized status assigned to some of the Greek islands in the area,Turkish claims of \"\"grey zones\"\" of undetermined sovereignty over a number of small islets, most notably the islets of Imia/Kardak.

These issues owe their virulence to a geographical peculiarity of the Aegean sea and its territories. While the mainland coasts of Greece and Turkey bordering the Aegean Sea on both sides represent roughly equal shares of its total coastline, the overwhelming number of the many Aegean islands belong to Greece. In particular, there is a chain of Greek islands lined up along the Turkish west coast ( Lesbos, Chios, Samos, and the Dodecanese islands ), partly in very close proximity to the mainland."

The Minoan and Mycenaean cultures (which were much larger than the Cycladic culture) are responsible for most Aegean artistic production. The chief exception lies in the Pre-Palace age (ca. 3000-2000 BC), during which the Cycladians were the most accomplished sculptors of the Aegean. All Aegean cultures worked mainly in small sculpture (e.g. figurines, vessels). Large-scale sculpture (e.g. statues, architectural sculpture) only became common in Europe under the ancient Greeks, who drew inspiration from the great sculpted works of Egypt and Mesopotamia."

The Aegean Sea contains more than three thousand islands and is considered the home of the earliest European civilization (formerly the Mycenean-Minoan, now called the Aegean), from about 3000 to 1100 b.c.e. Crete is the largest island, lying almost equidistant from both Greece and Turkey, at the southern end of the Aegean, with the Ionian Sea to its west. Since the Aegean is the only breach in the mountainous belt to the north of the Mediterranean, it has been extremely important as a trading area and trade route; control of this sea has been the cause of wars since early Near Eastern civilization clashed with early European. In 1820, all the shores and islands of the Aegean belonged to the Ottoman Empire, but the western shore and practically all the islands have since gradually gone to Greece, a cause of Turkish resentment. Two islands, İ mroz (Greek, Im bros) and Bozca (Greek, Tenedos), are still Turkish. Greece claims the Aegean as a territorial sea, which Turkey disputes, in hopes of sharing benthic minerals. Petroleum was discovered on the sea bottom east of Thasos in 1970, which has sharpened the dispute. Bibliography Drysdale, Alasdair, and Blake, Gerald H.

It preceded the Mycenaean civilization of Ancient Greece. [ 1] The civilization was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Arthur Evans. It has been described as the earliest of its kind in Europe, [2] with historian Will Durant calling the Minoans \"\"the first link in the European chain\"\". [ 3]The term \"\"Minoan\"\", which refers to the mythical King Minos, originally described in the pottery of the period. Minos was associated in Greek mythology with the labyrinth and the Minotaur, which Evans identified with the site at Knossos (the largest Minoan site). According to Homer, Crete once had 90 cities. [ 4]The Minoan period saw trade between Crete and Aegean and Mediterranean settlements, particularly the Near East. Through their traders and artists, the Minoan cultural influence reached beyond Crete to the Cyclades, Egypt 's Old Kingdom, copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan and the Levantine coast, and Anatolia. Some of its best art is preserved in the city of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini, which was destroyed by the Thera eruption."

"text": "\"DARK AGE GREECEIn the late thirteenth and early twelfth centuries b.c. the Bronze Age palace civilization of Aegean Greece went down in flames. Strongly fortified though they were, the urban centers of a series of small Mycenaean states in southern mainland Greece, together with associated regional centers on Crete and lesser Aegean islands, suffered violent destruction, putting an end to their power and unraveling complex political and economic structures. Although the precise origin of the attackers is unknown and other factors may have played a role, at least locally, in some cases (e.g., earthquakes and climatic downturns), it is significant that the fall of Late Bronze Age civilization in the Aegean occurred during a time of equal unrest throughout the eastern Mediterranean. The Hittite civilization in Anatolia suffered a similar fate, and in the Levant and Egypt armies of seaborne raiders and colonists of apparently diverse backgrounds (the \"\"Sea Peoples\"\") sacked towns and threatened the great power of Pharaonic Egypt, leaving a more permanent mark as founders of Philistine city-states in coastal Palestine. Scholarship nonetheless is inclined, less at present than in the past, to envisage waves of invaders penetrating Greece from outside the Aegean to perpetrate the assassination of the Mycenaean palace kingdoms. However, alternative scenarios of internal civil wars between individual states, or a peasants' uprising, remain mere hypotheses, with only later Greek legend to suggest internal wars. The succeeding archaeological assemblages of the penultimate Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (fig. 1) seem firmly rooted in Mycenaean and, on Crete, Minoan Bronze Age traditions; so if invaders were a critical element, they must have moved on or been absorbed rapidly into local cultures. In any case, the disruption associated with the violent end to the Mycenaean world was awesome enough to plunge the Aegean into a Dark Age that was to last from c. 1200 to 800 b.c."

[ 1] Two versions of this prayer are recorded: the long form in the Gospel of Matthew in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, and the short form in the Gospel of Luke when \"\"one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.'\"\" [ 2]The first three of the seven petitions in Matthew address God; the other four are related to human needs and concerns. The Matthew account alone includes the \"\"Your will be done\"\" and the \"\"Rescue us from the evil one\"\" (or \"\"Deliver us from evil\"\") petitions. Both original Greek texts contain the adjective epiousios, which does not appear in any other classical or Koine Greek literature; while controversial, \"\" daily \"\" has been the most common English-language translation of this word.

"text": "\"Byzantines Empires Roman Empire Ancient Rome World History History How did the Byzantine Empire last for more than a 1000 years after the Roman Empire?13 Answers Mohammed Naqvi, i like to read Answered Aug 17, 2015 There were many factors that allowed the Byzantine Empire to last a 1000 years after the end of the Roman Empire which include the fact that Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, was protected with walls that lasted almost the entire 1000 years, making Constantinople, and the center of the empire's economy/culture impervious to invaders. The Byzantine Empire also had a consistent law code, The Justinian Code (Codex Justinianus), that endured the whole ~1000 year period. Furthermore the class divisions were not as sharp as they were in West Europe, allowing a relatively peaceful ongoing of everyday life, and lack of economy draining welfare programs such as the Bread and circusesof the Roman Empire. Constantinople was also in a strategic trading location, the European side of the Strait of Bosphorus, allowing the empire and city to prosper via trades of all sorts and distances, as well as through cultural diffusion. Finally, due to the fall of the Roman Empire, more land was open in the West, and this attracted the \"\"barbaric\"\" Germanic tribes towards the fertile lands of the west, away from the Byzantine Empire.10.5k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

D., lay in a largely Greek -speaking area of the Roman Empire. That doesn't mean that before the Fall of Rome the emperors headquartered and the people living there were native Greek speakers or, even if they were, incompetent Latin speakers. Both languages, Greek and Latin, were part of the repertoire of the educated. Until recently, those who considered themselves educated might be native English speakers but could piece out a short passage of Latin in their literary reading and get by speaking French. Peter and Catherine the Great ushered in an era where the politically important, the nobility of Russia, knew the French language and literature as well as Russian. It was similar in the ancient world. Greek literature and themes dominated Roman writing until the mid-third century B. C., which is about a century after Alexander the Great had started the spread of Hellenism -- including the Greek Koine language -- throughout the vast areas that he had conquered. Greek was the language Roman aristocrats demonstrated to show their culture. They imported Greek pedagogues to teach their young."

Little is known about the Slavs before they are mentioned in Byzantine records of the 6th century CE, and most of what we know about them prior to this time is mainly derived from archaeological and linguistic studies. The Byzantine authors refer to the Slavs as \"\"Sclaveni\"\". THE ORIGIN OF THE SLAVSThe Slavs are the least documented group among the so called \"\"barbarian\"\" enemies of Rome during late antiquity, so there is no scholarly consensus regarding their origin. Authors who wrote about the Slavs do not agree: some say the Slavs were nomads, and others claim they lived in permanent settlements located in forests and swamps; some accounts say they lived under the rule of a king, while others that they embraced a form of democracy. In addition to these discrepancies, we must bear in mind that most of these accounts are filled with the bias of the Romans, who saw all barbarian peoples as primitive, uncivilized, and violent. Based on archaeological evidence, we know that Proto-Slavic people were already active by 1,500 BCE from Poland to Belarus. Some authors have traced the origin of the Slavs back to indigenous Iron Age tribes living in the valleys of the Oder and Vistula rivers (in present-day Poland and the Czech Republic) around the 1st century CE. This is, however, still a matter of debate. Based on archaeological evidence, we know that Proto-Slavic people were already active by 1,500 BCE within an area that stretched roughly from western Poland to the Dnieper River in Belarus."

Latin Europe was part of the Roman Empire, reason why people there speak a Latin language. There are five languages from Latin roots, also called romance languages. French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Romanian. The countries colonized by Spain, are called Hispanic. The countries colonized by Portugal (Brazil) are called Lusitanic.

Origin of the Byzantine Empire The Byzantine Empire started as the Eastern Roman Empire in 330 CE when Constantine, a Roman emperor, founded Constantinople, the Roman Empire's new capital, on the ancient site of Byzantium. ' Byzantine' is a 19th century term that modern scholars have applied to this culture and its people. Byzantines, on the other hand, called themselves 'Romans' from the beginning of the Byzantine Empire until its fall to the Ottomans in 1453, which was long after the Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 CE. Thus, most of the history of Byzantium is a continuation of the Roman period, and most of the culture of Byzantium is a continuation of the Roman way of life. History and Culture of the Byzantine Empire One of the major changes in Byzantine culture from late Roman culture is the emergence of Christianity. After Constantine issued the 313 Edict of Milan, which made Christianity a tolerable religion, the practice of Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire at an unprecedented rate. Churches and other meeting places quickly developed and changed the landscape. As the years passed, emperors such as Theodosius the Great took it upon themselves to promote Christianity throughout the empire to the point where it overtook Paganism. For example, Theodosius the Great closed the famous philosophical schools in Athens, where Plato and Aristotle had taught centuries earlier."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Clinical Procedures Tympanoplasty Technique Updated: Mar 02, 2016Author: Brian Kip Reilly, MD; Chief Editor: Arlen D Meyers, MD, MBA more... Print Approach Considerations Myringoplasty Myringoplasty can be used for small perforations, such as nonhealing tympanic membranes after pressure-equalizing (PE) tube extrusion or traumatic perforations. The technique involves freshening the edges of the perforation to promote healing and placing a carefully trimmed graft lateral to the defect. [ 8] Grafting materials for myringoplasty include fat, Gelfilm, Gelfoam, Allo Derm, and cigarette paper. Gelfoam can also be placed as packing in the middle ear to support the graft. Tympanoplasty When planning tympanoplasty, the surgeon must consider the location of the perforation (marginal versus central), and size (total versus subtotal). Areas of myringosclerosis and tympanosclerosis should be noted. Important comorbidities worth noting include craniofacial disorders and underlying environmental allergies or chronic allergic rhinitis. Critical factors that make tympanoplasty less successful include adhesive otitis media, severe eustachian tube dysfunction with either perforation of the contralateral ear or ongoing intermittent otorrhea, cholesteatoma, and previous surgical repair. [ 9, 10]Various techniques and grafting materials can be used, and these are covered later. Which approach is used depends on the size and location of the perforation, the presence or absence of cholesteatoma or granulation tissue, the status of the ossicles and mastoid, other anatomical considerations (eg, narrow external auditory canals), as well as the surgeon’s preference and expertise.

It enables an organism to detect and receive information about danger, such as an approaching predator, and to participate in communal exchanges like those concerning territories or mating. On the other hand, although it is physically linked to the auditory system, the vestibular system is not involved in hearing. Instead, an animal’s vestibular system detects its own movement, both linear and angular acceleration and deceleration, and balance. Sound Auditory stimuli are sound waves, which are mechanical, pressure waves that move through a medium, such as air or water. There are no sound waves in a vacuum since there are no air molecules to move in waves. The speed of sound waves differs, based on altitude, temperature, and medium, but at sea level and a temperature of 20º C (68º F), sound waves travel in the air at about 343 meters per second. As is true for all waves, there are four main characteristics of a sound wave: frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude. Frequency is the number of waves per unit of time, and in sound is heard as pitch. High-frequency (≥15.000Hz) sounds are higher-pitched (short wavelength) than low-frequency (long wavelengths; ≤100Hz) sounds."

Hearing can be defined as the perception of sound energy via the brain and central nervous system. Hearing consists of two components: identification of sounds (what the sound is) and localisation of those sounds (where the sounds are coming from). The ear is divided into three main parts – the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The inner ear is filled with fluid. The inner ear also contains the receptors for sound which convert fluid motion into electrical signals known as action potentials that are sent to the brain to enable sound perception. The airborne sound waves must therefore be channelled toward and transferred into the inner ear for hearing to occur. The role of the outer and middle ear is to transmit sound to the inner ear. They also help compensate for the loss in sound energy that naturally occurs when the sound waves pass from air into water by amplifying the sound energy during the process of sound transmission. In addition to converting sound waves into nerve action potentials, the inner ear is also responsible for the sense of equilibrium, which relates to our general abilities for balance and coordination."

Expert answer by Dick Harfield Confidence votes 41.9KMalleus Maleficarum (‘The Hammer of the Witches’) is one of the most infamous books in history, and has been described as a prime example of high scholarship placed in the service of madness. It is a Catholic manual that sets out to refute claims that witchcraft does not exist, then deals with ways to deal with those accused of witchcraft. The book was written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer, a German clergyman, but only three years after its publication the Catholic Church condemned Malleus Maleficarum as false. In spite of this, it was influential in encouraging and regulating the witch hunt that spread throughout Europe.

Not only are children introduced to the cultures of these various countries, but through our partnership with the Yale School of International Studies, graduate students teach Russian, Chinese, Swahili, Japanese and Portuguese to our students. I am particularly excited about participating in the Yale New-Haven Institute Seminar, \"\"Sound and Sensibility: Acoustics in Architecture, Music and the Environment\"\" for several reasons. First, I have always wanted to write a unit focusing on culture, and when I approached several colleagues to work as a team they were receptive. Even though my unit concentrates on the science of sound, the units written by my colleagues focus on culture and the musical instruments associated with the cultures of Brazil and Africa. Secondly, I am looking forward to the production that we are planning for the school utilizing the units we create. Throughout these units, we will discuss the role of music in the cultures of Brazil and Africa.

Odds on the businessman-turned-politician getting impeached or resigning before the end of his term of office have halved with Ladbrokes, which opened its market at 2-1 in the wake of his election. The price has since come in to evens. Head of political betting Matt Shaddick said 90 per cent of the bets the bookmaker has taken have been on the Republican not seeing out his full term, with just 10 per cent for the alternative, although it is still a shade of odds on.

The price on that has tumbled to 4-1 from 8-1, while the same to happen within two years is now 10-1 from 20-1. Trump is also odds-on (2-5) not to seek a second term. The bookie offers 1-3 for a member of The Trump cabinet to quit within a year of taking office. While a return of £133 from a £100 bet is unlikely to make anyone rich, that price could actually prove to be rather generous for those with the funds to bet big.

Yes, if you ask the man himself, but bettors are not so sure. In fact, the probability of President Trump leaving office via an impeachment or resignation before he finishes his first term has doubled over the past three months, according to British bookie Ladbrokes UK: LCL . Immediately after his election win in November, the odds of Trump staying in the Oval Office for four years were 3/1, indicating a 25% chance he’d leave early. Now a little more than three weeks into his tenure, the odds have been slashed to 11/10, putting a 47% chance that he’ll resign or be impeached. “It’s all about supply and demand and punters have been backing it and we’ve forced to cut the odds accordingly,” Ladbrokes spokesperson Jessica Bridge said. “As every day goes by, there’s a new Donald Trump controversy and punters are putting two and two together and backing him to leave,” she said. Read: America first, fine — but these European countries would sure like to be No. 2Adding to the list of controversies since his inauguration on Jan. 20, Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn on Monday resigned following concerns over his ties with Russia.

New Jersey has gone further than Nevada, legalizing not only online poker but all manner of online casino games. The legal complications are still multiplying, but it looks as if online gaming in the state will be up and running within months, with a provisional date set at the 23rd of November 2013. The state has always been something of an epicenter for gambling in the US, with Atlantic City almost as synonymous with casino culture as its Nevadan cousin Las Vegas. Gambling does of course exist in the state outside of AC, notably there are horse racecourses, the state lottery and social gambling is also tolerated within certain state-imposed limits, as is charity gambling. But it’s the playground of America Atlantic City itself which boasts the casinos in numbers, and it’s these casinos which will be allowed to apply for the online gaming licenses. Atlantic City has spawned a number of the absolute best poker players in the world, including Phil Ivey, who famously learned the ropes in the poker rooms of the city. Cash game legend Tom Dwan also hails from New Jersey, as does David Sklansky, one of the foremost experts in the world in both poker and game theory. The Letter of the Law All attention has been turned to these very recent changes in the law regarding online gambling, and the shockwaves these have sent across the state and beyond, but of course there is an existing body of legislation upon which these changes have been built. As with many a state, New Jersey has some essential laws prohibiting any unregulated gambling which occurs outside of specific exemptions in statute."

Goal.com's Betting expert lifts the lid on the method that makes bookmakers millions... It's a simple enough question and one every bookie gets asked. How do we set the odds on Inter not losing at home again or Wigan sneaking victory over title-chasing Arsenal. Well it goes a little like this. There are a team of people employed by any bookmaker, usually referred to as Traders, Risk Analysts or Odds Compilers. Their job is to produce odds that closely represent the chance of an occurrence. It’s a tough job to account for all the variables in any event. If you take the chance of Manchester United winning at home for example the trader has to account for the form of the teams, injuries to key players, influence of the crowd, the referee and many others. Happy Home | Red Devils are usually a safe bet In addition to the chances of a team winning, they have to account for the money that is likely to be placed."

"text": "Bookies start taking bets for whether or not Donald Trump will finish his full term Bookies based out of the United Kingdom as well as Ireland have already started allowing for bets to determine whether or not Trump will finish his full 4-year term in office. The trend between each one has been that Trump will not complete his term, and so operators have put up favorable odds for players that want to put money down that his presidency will fall short. The odds started at around 3 – 1 for most operators back in November immediately after the election, and by November 22nd they had shifted to 9 – 4. Right now they have been set at 50 – 50, and that is likely to shift again. It isn’t surprising that there are more bets being placed around Trump after the popularity that came with the presidential election wagers. This last election had the biggest turnout for betters than ever before, and was made even more exciting by the drastic turn of events that went against what operators were expecting to occur. Paddy Power was one of the most prominent betting platforms surrounding the election because they had heavy odds in favor of Hillary Clinton, and she ended up losing the election. Paddy had already paid out a large portion of their wagers for Clinton fans before the election was completed, and lost quite a sum of money when Trump won the election. Now they are following the same trend with their new current wager that Trump will be impeached or quit within the first six months of office, putting the odds at 8 – 1. They did this with Obama’s first term as well, but had given it 4 – 1 odds."

"text": "TRACE OUR STEPSDonald Trump won the presidency because celebrity beats substance Anthony J. Gaughan November 09, 2016All smiles. ( Reuters/Carlo Allegri)A populist wave that began with Brexit in June reached the United States in stunning fashion this past November. In one of the biggest upsets in American political history, Donald Trump won a truly historic victory in the US presidential election. Trump’s remarkably decisive win stunned most political pundits, myself included. Throughout the campaign, Trump seemed to have a polling ceiling of about 44 percent, and he consistently had the highest unfavorability rating of any major party nominee in history. Accordingly, months ago I predicted that Clinton would easily beat Trump. Then, at the beginning of October, the uproar over Trump’s lewd and offensive remarks on the Access Hollywood videotape, combined with the escalating number of women who accused Trump of sexual assault, seemed to finish off his campaign. Right up until the afternoon of Election Day, therefore, a comfortable victory for Clinton seemed like a foregone conclusion. But I was dead wrong. Trump won a sweeping victory in the presidential race."

"text": "\"Home / Sports /6 Facts You May Not Know About Pete Rose and the Hall of Fame Katherine La Grave More Articles March 17, 2015Christopher Pasatieri/Getty Images2015 marks the twenty-sixth year that Pete Rose has been banned from baseball — one of the sport’s greatest controversies, and in many respects, one of its most disappointing revelations. Rose, arguably one of the greatest ever to play the game, has long been tainted after being charged with gambling and allegedly betting on his own team. Despite Rose’s serious violation of a bevy of Major League Baseball rules and regulations, many fans — and Rose himself — believe he should be reinstated and allowed a place in the Hall of Fame: The two seemingly go hand in hand, as the Hall of Fame added a clause to its eligibility rules in 1990, stating that players who were on the ineligible list could not be considered as candidates. We’ve compiled six key facts surrounding Rose’s ban. [ Update: and now that Rose has sent a formal request to the MLB’s new commissioner to ask for reinstatement, we thought it was high time to revisit them]Don Emmert/AFP/Getty Images1. On August 24, 1989 — nearly twenty-five years ago — Commissioner Bart Giamatti, after an in-house investigation, announced that Rose, baseball’s all-time hits leader and one of history’s greatest players, was banned for life for gambling on baseball. “ The banishment for life of Pete Rose from baseball is the sad end of a sorry episode,” Giamatti said in a statement. “ One of the game’s greatest players has engaged in a variety of acts which have stained the game, and he must now live with the consequences of those acts.” Despite his firm stance on the matter, Giamatti is credited with facilitating an agreement that “ended” the betting scandal and allowed Rose to voluntarily withdraw from the sport, avoiding further punishment. The next two commissioners, Fay Vincent and Bud Selig, have upheld this ban.2. “"

The son of a wealthy real estate developer, Trump received four student deferments that were followed by a 1968 medical deferment that came a few months after he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. After denigrating Mc Cain during remarks today at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Trump faced reporters’s questions about his lack of service. Asked about the last of his five deferments, Trump said that his disqualifying medical condition was a bone spur in one of his feet (he could not remember which one). It is unknown on which golf course the injury was sustained. APRIL 28--Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned. During a TV interview Tuesday morning, Trump--who spent his high school years enrolled at the New York Military Academy--said, “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number. I’ll never forget, that was an amazing period of time in my life. ”He went on to recall, “I was going to the Wharton School of Finance, and I was watching as they did the draft numbers and I got a very, very high number and those numbers never got up to.” The word “deferment” was not mentioned by Trump during his chat with the morning show hosts on WNYW, the Fox affiliate in New York City."

"text": "This article was originally posted on Inverse. By James Grebey Donald Trump is going to be the President of the United States. But if oddsmakers are right, there’s a 50-50 chance that he won’t hold the office for that long. At 4 p.m. Eastern on January 11, the British gambling company Ladbrokes said odds are even that Trump will be impeache d or resign before his first term ends. By 5 p.m. the odds had risen even more, to 11-10. On January 19, Trump’s odds of leaving office before his first term had dropped back down to even. The odds are part of a group of “Donald Trump Specials” offered by Ladbrokes, including a 2-1 bet that he won’t be reelected in 2020 and a 5-4 bet that he’ll visit Russia by the end of the year. Now, gambling odds aren’t exactly reliable predictive science — they’re pretty far from it, in a lot of cases — but there’s lots of reason to think that a bet against Trump finishing his first term is a pretty good bet. Since the original odds went up, Ladbrokes has added a new suite of bets. Gamblers can now wager on which year Trump will leave office."

S. Recession Risk Minimal (Seeking Alpha)If you think Donald Trump will make it through his first term in office without being impeached, don’t bet on it. According to the newest numbers from bookies in the U. K., the odds of a first-term Trump impeachment have narrowed and are now even on many sites. While Las Vegas doesn’t allow betting on any events other than sports, U. K. bookies are happy to take bets about Trump’s longevity in office. Paddy Power currently has the odds of a first-term Trump impeachment at 11/10, up from 2/1 on February 15. Ladbrokes is also pessimistic about Trump’s prospects and currently lists the odds that Trump will “leave office via impeachment or resignation before end of first term” and will “serve a full term” at 11/10 (Editor's note: this paragraph was updated on March 21 to reflect further changes since the story's originally published date. ) Related Link: Trump Vs. Mexico: Expert Explains Which States Are The Biggest Losers Bovada sees the odds Trump completes “a full term as POTUS” at even as well. A $115 bet on a full term in office currently pays off $100, while a $115 bet that the term is cut short also pays off $100. Trump’s first two months in office has certainly upped the odds of impeachment in the eyes of bookies. Following Election Day in November, Ladbrokes listed the odds that Trump would make it through his first term in office at 3/1."

The odds are against it Getty Bookmaker Ladbrokes has cut the odds on Donald Trump leaving office early due to impeachment or resignation amid mounting controversy about how he will manage his business interests after becoming America’s 45th President. Ladbrokes opened the market at 3-1, cutting it to 5-2, and again to 9-4 in the wake of a flurry of bets on the back of a growing consensus among law professors that the controversial Republican is heading for trouble. George Bush’s former ethics lawyer Richard Painter, now a University of Minnesota law professor, told Think Progress that the President-elect could have been in breach of the Emoluments Clause that prohibits presidents from buying influence with federal officials or receiving special treatment over an event held at his Washington DC Hotel were he in office. He was backed by Laurence Tribe, professor of law at Harvard University. The hotel was used to entertain and give a sales pitch to foreign diplomats.

Trump recently settled a lawsuit brought by former students for $25m. While many critics of the incoming President have been hoping that they may be able to remove him by legal means, the history books don’t favour them, and the hurdles such a legal challenge would have to clear to succeed are daunting.

"text": "Marasoft Handicapping Tips NFL Margin Of Victory NFL Margin Of Victory I had a friend of mine ask me this question last year. How often in the NFL does the final winning margin fall on 3 or 7? While I did have a general idea of the numbers, it had been years since I had actually compiled a list of the NFL betting numbers and how often a game falls on a certain point spread. The list below of the NFL games winning margin numbers shows that 3 points is the most common followed by 7 points. No surprises there. However, I noticed a few handicapping tidbits that support my opinion of fading the point spread favorite in the NFL or don't play the game at all. In the last twenty years 46.12% of all the NFL regular season games were decided by 7 or less points and 23.59% of the football games were decided by 3 or less. You may think that those numbers support playing the betting line fav, but you haven't factored in that the dogs will win approximately 50% of the games over the course of most seasons.

"text": "\"Introduction Burned in his memory Share This Story Tweet Share Share Pin Email Comment During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza. The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edward’s father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resort’s builder. Edward’s son, Paul, who was the firm’s accountant, still remembers the amount of that bill more than 30 years later: $83,600. The reason: the money never came. “ That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company… which has been around since my grandfather,” he said. Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will \"\"protect your job.\"\" But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them. At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey."

"text": "Fed Ex Cup Standings - Who's Leading The Fed Ex Cup Points? Throughout the course of the PGA Tour season, players vie for the coveted title of Fed Ex Cup champion. The Fed Ex Cup, which made its debut in the 2007 PGA Tour, rewards players on their consistent performances across the season’s scheduled tournaments. The introduction of the trophy about a decade ago marked the first time in the history of men’s professional golf that the sport had a unified playoff system and a methodology for awarding one player, and since then the Fed Ex Cup has become one of PGA Tour’s biggest draws. This marked uptick in interest has had the effect of leading many fans of the “Gentleman’s Game” and serious season-long sports bettors alike to ask one common question about the weekly Fed Ex Cup Standings – “Who’s leading the Fed Ex Cup points?”Calculating the shifts in the leaderboard is not too difficult, fortunately. A tournament win – and especially a win in one of the four Major tournaments - will obviously get the most points for a given golfer during the week. For a typical event, the points gain for a win will be 500 points, for instance, while more high-prestige events such as one of the four Major Championships and the World Golf Championships will be worth 600 points to the winner. However, points are awarded for top-five finishes, top-10 finishes and so on down the line, making it every bit as important for golfers to finish as well as they can when it comes to the end of the PGA Tour season and the Fed Ex Cup playoffs. Players will be able to see how they stand in the rankings after the conclusion of every week, when the new standings are released. Our goal here at PGABetting Odds.com to have the latest Fed Ex Cup points available for you each week as well, and, furthermore, to provide analyses of players making big moves up or down in the standings on the PGA’s official Fed Ex Leaderboard."

Some woodlands tribes such as the Iroquois appear to have quickly abandoned the bow as a weapon in favour of guns obtained from Europeans, so they ceased making stone points at an early date. At the important site of Cahokia (about 650 to 1500 AD) many very beautiful small points of Burlington chert and Kaolin chert have been discovered, along with some fine bone points.21 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Clausenfan What common Tennessee rock did natives use to make arrows? Types of rock used for arrow points in the area that later became Tennessee include high quality chert."

"text": "\"The Desert Cactus Cactus Is an American Plant The cactus family is one of the most easily recognized plant families in the world. Their beautiful blossoms, thick stems and unusual shapes attract thousands of people to the desert each year. Cactus, as a plant family, show variations between the individual species. They range from the three-inch fishhook cactus nestled in a rock crevice to the towering saguaro cactus which reaches heights of 30 to 40 feet. Cactus grow on rocky hillsides, alluvial fans and in barren washes throughout the desert. Natural History Cactus is an American plant family not native to Europe, Africa or Australia. Very little is known about early cactus plants because only two cactus fossils have ever been found. The oldest, found in Utah, dates to 50 million years ago and was similar to today's prickly pear. Cactus plants probably grew in a tropical environment until about 65 million years ago when, in much of California, the climate changed from year-round rainfall to a pattern of dry summers and wet winters. Later, when the desert began to form as the Sierra Nevada and Peninsular Ranges rose and blocked rainfall to the eastern valleys, the cactus adapted to the dry, desert conditions."

We plan to stop in Julian, but as check-out time in SD is 10 am and check-in time in PD is 4 pm we will have plenty of time to take in the scenery. We only have two days in PD but really want to maximise the time checking out mountain and desert scenery after just having spent a week in San Diego and a week in Anaheim before flying home to Australia. Also, advice on approximate driving time from PD to LAX (want to arrive around 4 pm on a Friday)? Thanks.

Re: Suggested route from San Diego to Palm Desert Aug 6, 2010, 9:21 AMFirst of all, just because a hotel says check in is at 4 , it does NOT mean you can NOT check in before that. It only means that by 4PM they MUST have your room ready for you. We usually check in with hotels that are not busy by 1PM."

"text": "The Salton Sea is one of the most enigmatic places in the Southwest–an otherworldly lake in the barren, naked desert, sandwiched between the resorts of Palm Springs and the Mexican border. Its languid surface, at 228 feet below sea level, is only five feet higher than the lowest point in Death Valley. This former resort region had its heyday during the early 1960’s, when it was a bustling place filled with weekend revelers from the nearby Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas. For a time, the Sea was a haven for boaters and fishermen. Today, the few people who remain are hardy individualist types looking for isolation and a cheap place to live. The air is heavy with heat and decay. It’s a lonely, haunted place. A large part of the town of Salton Sea Beach was inundated during the floods of 1976 and ’77. Night shooting these neighborhoods twenty years later found a desolate quagmire peppered with block after block of abandoned trailers, homes and businesses. The ground was covered with a jagged white crust glowing brightly in the moonlight."

She was born Helen Maria Fiske in Amherst, Massachusetts, the daughter of Nathan Welby Fiske and Deborah Waterman Vinal. She had two brothers, who both died in infancy, and a sister named Anne. Her father was a Congregational minister, author, and professor of Latin, Greek, and philosophy at Amherst College, and her mother was also a writer. Growing up in a literary environment, the intellectual interests of her parents undoubtedly had an influence on her. Her mother died in 1844 and her father died three years later in 1847, leaving her to the care of an aunt. Before her father's death, however, he saw to it that she should have a proper education. She attended Ipswich Female Seminary and the Abbott Institute, a select boarding school run by the Reverend J. S. C. Abbott in New York City. As a result, she was a classmate of Emily Dickinson, also from Amherst, who later became one of the most distinguished poets in the United States. The two remained friends for the rest of their lives and carried on a lasting correspondence based on mutual admiration and support."

Supreme Court decision involving two California tribes set in motion a series of federal and state actions that dramatically expanded tribal casinos here and in other states. Now, California’s casino industry outranks all but Nevada’s in size. In this report, we answer key questions about tribal casinos in California and their payments to state and local governments. Introduction On February 25, 1987, the U. S. Supreme Court decided that neither the State of California nor Riverside County could regulate the bingo and card game operations of the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians and the Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians. This court ruling, known as the Cabazon decision, set in motion a series of federal and state actions-including two ballot propositions-that dramatically expanded tribal casino operations in California and other states. In 2006, industry estimates suggest that tribal casinos in California took in around $7 billion of annual revenues-about as much as all other legalized gambling sectors in the state combined. Only Nevada now has a larger casino industry. In this report, we answer key questions related to (1) the history of tribal casino expansion in California and (2) payments from the casinos to state and local governments. We also discuss proposed amendments to several tribal-state compacts that-collectively-would expand the industry significantly in Southern California.

It is located 28 miles (45 km) east of Palm Springs, 72 miles (116 km) east of Riverside, and 130 miles (210 km) east of Los Angeles. Known as the \"\"City of Eternal Sunshine\"\", Coachella is largely a rural and agricultural community in the desert and one of the state's fastest growing cities in the late 20th century. When it first incorporated back in 1946, it had 1,000 residents, but the population was 40,704 at the 2010 census. The eastern half of the Coachella valley is below sea level, and the area's average elevation is 68 feet (35 m) below sea level. The Salton Sea, a saltwater lake located about 10 miles (16 km) South of Coachella, lies 227 feet (69 m) below sea level. The city also lends its name to the Coachella grapefruit; the town's stretch of State Route 111 is named Grapefruit Boulevard in its honor."

The San Jacinto range offers a stark contrast to the warm, arid climate just a few miles away and, for that reason, places like Idyllwild have become popular getaways for people who want a taste of the four seasons. Not too much of a taste, mind you. This is all about putting that four-wheel-drive through its paces just enough to justify the couple of grand extra that you spent on it. The fact is Southern California residents, for the most part, don't need four-wheel drive. So up these weekenders go to the windy roads and steep ridges that take them 5,000 feet, 6,000 feet and higher above Hemet, the nearest city of any size in this part of Riverside County. The community of Idyllwild is set in amongst the pine trees that Mother Nature has combined with oak and spruce to create a powerful allure for people who grow weary of what passes for trees in Southern California's cities. During winter, most visitors are more than happy to return to warmer climes after their weekend dalliance because shoveling snow is just not one of the things Southern California residents are programmed to do. Many of them think it's better to get just enough exposure to the snow and frigid temperatures to appreciate why they are willing to pay the high price of living in sunny Southern California — and then go home. That's why about three-quarters of the residences in Idyllwild remain vacant most of the time."

"text": "\"List of federally recognized tribes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Federally recognized tribes)navigation search See also: List of federally recognized tribes by state There is a list of federally recognized tribes in the contiguous United States of America. There are also federally recognized Alaska Native tribes. As of 17 January 2017, 567 Native American tribes were legally recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) of the United States. [ 1] [2] [3]Description [ edit]In the United States, the Indian tribe is a fundamental unit, and the constitution grants Congress the right to interact with tribes. More specifically, the Supreme Court of the United States in United States v. Sandoval, 231 U. S. 28 (1913), warned, \"\"it is not... that Congress may bring a community or body of people within range of this power by arbitrarily calling them an Indian tribe, but only that in respect of distinctly Indian communities the questions whether, to what extent, and for what time they shall be recognized and dealt with as dependent tribes\"\" (at 46). [ 4] Federal tribal recognition grants to tribes the right to certain benefits, and is largely controlled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). While trying to determine which groups were eligible for federal recognition in the 1970s, government officials became acutely aware of the need for consistent procedures. To illustrate, several federally unrecognized tribes encountered obstacles in bringing land claims; United States v. Washington (1974) was a court case that affirmed the fishing treaty rights of Washington tribes; and other tribes demanded that the U. S. government recognize aboriginal titles. All the above culminated in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, which legitimized tribal entities by partially restoring Native American self-determination. Following the decisions made by the Indian Claims Commission, the BIA in 1978 published final rules with procedures that groups had to meet to secure federal tribal acknowledgment."

Unlike other species the ventral and dorsal lateral nasal cartilages, which attach to the rostral end of the nasal septum, do not contact each other. In the hose, the dorsal and ventral cartilages are indistinct or absent. Instead, horses have alar cartilages to support the nostrils, but the lateral walls of the nostrils remain unsupported; allowing greater mobility. The alar cartilages divide the nostril into the dorsal ('false nostril') and ventral ('true nostril'). The dorsal nostril leads to a blind-ending diverticulum in the nasoincisive notch. The ventral nostril leads to the nasal cavity. This is important when placing a nasogastric tube, which must be inserted ventrally. Another species difference is that the nasolacrimal duct opens at the nasal puncta on the ventral floor of the nasal vestibule close to the transition point between the nasal mucosa and the nostril."

Many different types of tracheal tubes are available, suited for different specific applications: An endotracheal tube is a specific type of tracheal tube that is nearly always inserted through the mouth (orotracheal) or nose (nasotracheal). A tracheostomy tube is another type of tracheal tube; this 2–3-inch-long (51–76 mm) curved metal or plastic tube may be inserted into a tracheostomy stoma (following a tracheotomy) to maintain a patent lumen. A tracheal button is a rigid plastic cannula about 1 inch in length that can be placed into the tracheostomy after removal of a tracheostomy tube to maintain patency of the lumen. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Applications3 Endotracheal tube4 Tracheostomy tube5 Tracheal button6 See also7 References8 Further reading9 External links History [ edit]Portex Medical (England and France) produced the first cuff-less plastic 'Ivory' endotracheal tubes, in conjunction with Magill's design later adding a cuff as manufacturing techniques became more viable, these were glued on by hand to make the famous Blue-line tube copied by many other manufacturers. Maeterlinck Gm BH developed the disposable endotracheal tube and produced a plethora of design variations, adding the 'Murphy Eye' to their tubes in case of 'accidental' placement of the tube to avoid right bronchial occlusion. David S. Sheridan was one of the manufacturers of the American markets \"\"disposable\"\" plastic tracheal tube now used routinely in surgery. Previously, red rubber (Rusch-Germany) tubes were used, then sterilized for re-use.. Applications [ edit]Tracheal tubes can also be used to deliver oxygen in higher concentrations than found in air, or to administer other gases such as helium, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, xenon, or certain volatile anesthetic agents such as desflurane, isoflurane, or sevoflurane. Tracheal tubes may also be used as a route for administration of certain medications such as salbutamol, atropine, epinephrine, ipratropium, and lidocaine. Tracheal tubes are commonly used for airway management in the settings of general anesthesia, critical care, mechanical ventilation, and emergency medicine."

Respiratory System Trachea- Respiratory Physiology Shani Farquharson, Alia Wilson, Jasmine Williams, Raven Edmondson, and Kristopher Reid Class: Human Anatomy & Physiology Teacher: Mrs. Dowdy Period: 30 Where is it located? The trachea runs from the neck, through the chest to the anterior of the esophagus It begins just under the larynx (voice box) and runs down behind the breastbone (sternum) Tracheal deviation, where the trachea shifts from this middle position indicates some disease of the respiratory system or thoracic cavity The trachea ends around the level of the T4 to T5 vertebrae The point where it ends also correlates with the sternal angle – the junction of the manubrium and body of the sternum (breastbone). Tracheal Blockage: Tracheal blockage is also referred to as airway obstruction. Airway Obstruction is a blockage of respiration in the airway. It can be broadly classified into being either in the upper airway or lower airway. The trachea is connected to the same tubing system that allows a person to swallow. The respiratory system has a mechanism to prevent respiratory failures, so when an object becomes lodged in the trachea thats when the mechanisms occur."

The trachea extends from the larynx and branches into the two primary bronchi. At the top of the trachea the cricoid cartilage attaches it to the larynx. This is the only complete tracheal ring, the others being incomplete rings of reinforcing cartilage. The trachealis muscle joins the ends of the rings and these are joined vertically by bands of fibrous connective tissue – the annular ligaments of trachea. The epiglottis closes the opening to the larynx during swallowing. The trachea develops in the second month of development."

The prenatal period is further subdivided into 2 periods, the embryonic (see the following image) and fetal periods. The embryonic period (first 8 wk after conception) is divided into 23 stages according to the Carnegie system. Each specific stage is defined by specific morphologic criteria. Graph showing the embryonic period (first 6 wk of life) in relation to the fetal period. The crown-rump (C-R) length of the fetus is also illustrated. View Media Gallery The respiratory diverticulum (laryngotracheal diverticulum) appears between the 4 th and 6 th branchial arches. [ 1] There is no evidence of identifiable respiratory system development during the first 8 stages of the Carnegie system. During stage 4 (day 20 of embryonic period), the foregut begins its appearance and the respiratory diverticulum, from which the respiratory system develops, is identified in a medial position. With the continuous growth of the respiratory diverticulum, at about 22 days (stage 10), the primitive pharynx is visible, among the branchial arches and pouches."

Tracheal collapse can be either congenital (present from birth) or acquired. The acquired form of the condition is often caused by chronic respiratory disease, Cushing’s disease or heart disease. Symptoms of tracheal collapse include a dry cough, exercise intolerance, respiratory distress, and gagging while eating or drinking. Treatment options include medical management, which works for about 70 percent of dogs with a mild form of the condition. More serious cases often require highly specialized surgery. Cartilage building supplements are also given to maintain the integrity of tracheal cartilage. By Dr. Becker Tracheal collapse is a chronic, progressive disease involving the windpipe, or trachea. The trachea is somewhat like a vacuum cleaner hose that contains small rings, in this case cartilage that keeps the airways open."

Share this conversation Answered in 2 hours by: 4/19/2011Expert: James Stone The trachea is reinforced with cartilage rings in order to keep the airway open. These rings reinforce the anterior and lateral sides, but are actually \"\"C\"\" shaped as opposed to complete rings which allows the trachea to constrict somewhat when swallowing food. As regards XXXXX XXXXX anatomical reason why most men have deeper voices than boys or women, it relates largely to the size of the larynx. Located in the throat at the top of the trachea, it is essentially like a box across which your vocal chords are stretched. During puberty the larynx grows, and the vocal chords also grow and thicken. This growth actually causes the larynx to tilt at an angle which is commonly known as the adam's apple. Much like an upright bass, the thicker \"\"strings\"\" in conjunction with a larger, more resonating \"\"box\"\" makes for a deeper sound.

And what do the cilia and mucus hairs in the trachea do? Cheers. Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: There are about fifteen to twenty incomplete C-shaped cartilaginous rings which reinforce the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea to protect and maintain the airway. The trachealis muscle connects the ends of the incomplete rings, and contracts during coughing, reducing the size of the lumen of the trachea to increase the air flow rate. The esophagus lies posteriorly to the trachea. The cartilaginous rings are incomplete to allow the trachea to collapse slightly so that food can pass down the esophagus. A flap-like epiglottis closes the opening to the larynx during swallowing to prevent swallowed matter from entering the trachea."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Respiratory System Trachea Why does the trachea have cartilage rings? Flag Why does the trachea have cartilage rings? Answer by Prayagfbi Confidence votes 137ANSWER: To support the trachea. If the rings were not there or if there were not a positive air pressure to keep this area open, it would close on its own because of the surrounding force of the body would close it. If they weren't there you would gurgle upon inhalation and exhalation. The 'c' shaped cartilage rings are present in the trachea to prevent it from collapsing and they keep the trachea open for air to come in and out. In humans there are about 15 - 20 incomplete C-shaped cartilaginous rings which reinforces the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea to protect and maintain the airway open. ( The cartilaginous rings are incomplete because this allows the trachea to collapse slightly to allow food to pass down the esophagus to give support The rings of cartilage strengthen the trachea so that it does not collapse, but remains open so that air can get through it. If It didn't it would collapse in on itself and you would be unable to breathe. we breath every time so trachea keep open all the time .cartilage rings give support to trachea to open all the time."

Many different types of tracheal tubes are available, suited for different specific applications: An endotracheal tube is a specific type of tracheal tube that is nearly always inserted through the mouth (orotracheal) or nose (nasotracheal). A tracheostomy tube is another type of tracheal tube; this 2–3-inch-long (51–76 mm) curved metal or plastic tube may be inserted into a tracheostomy stoma (following a tracheotomy) to maintain a patent lumen. A tracheal button is a rigid plastic cannula about 1 inch in length that can be placed into the tracheostomy after removal of a tracheostomy tube to maintain patency of the lumen.

Tracheal tubes may also be used as a route for administration of certain medications such as salbutamol, atropine, epinephrine, ipratropium, and lidocaine. Tracheal tubes are commonly used for airway management in the settings of general anesthesia, critical care, mechanical ventilation, and emergency medicine."

Since boiling does not break the bonds in a water molecule, the bubbles are composed of water vapor. In contrast, within liquid water, there is a chemical reaction that is going on – the disassociation of water into –OH and H+, which we will discuss in more detail shortly. However a naked proton (H+ that is a proton as a discrete separate species) does not exist in water, this reaction is more accurately written as: H 2 O + H 2 O ↔ H 3 O + + - OH. Here we see the signature of a chemical reaction, the molecules on the two sides of the equation are different - covalent bonds are broken (an O-H bond in one water molecule) and formed (a H-O bond in the other). All chemical reactions can be recognized in this way. An interesting feature of the water dissociation reaction, which illustrates another feature of chemical reactions, is that reactions can vary in terms of the extent to which they occur. In liquid water, which has a concentration of about ~55M, very few molecules undergo this reaction - in fact in pure water the concentration of H 3 O + is only 10-7 M, that is eight orders of magnitude less than the concentration of water molecules."

Answered Apr 27, 2016 · Author has 161 answers and 319.4k answer views Oxidation is the process of any Metal or Non Metal reacting with Oxygen to form the Oxide of that metal or Non-Metal. Thus metals like Iron or Aluminium react with Atmospheric Oxygen and get converted to their Oxides. Non-Metals like Sulphur and Carbon are also oxidized to form their Oxides. Corrosion is the process of losing the refined metal (recovered from the Ores), to chemical reactions with any chemicals to form its Oxide, Sulphide or any other metal salt. Thus oxidation is one form of corrosion of metals to form their oxides. Corrosion of Metals also happen by other chemicals like Sulphur, Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide or Acids and other Chemical Agents. Metals like Silver and Copper, react with Sulphur from Atmosphere to form their Sulphides. Acids like Sulphuric Acid or Hydrochloric Acid react with metals like Iron and Aluminium to form salts like Iron Sulphate or Aluminium Chloride.

Some form of post-manufacturing treatment or end-user seasoning is mandatory on cast-iron, which rusts rapidly when heated in the presence of available oxygen, notably from water, even small quantities such as drippings from dry meat. Food tends to stick to unseasoned iron and carbon steel cookware, both of which are seasoned for this reason as well. Other cookware surfaces such as stainless steel or cast aluminium do not require as much protection from corrosion but seasoning is still very often employed by professional chefs to avoid sticking. Seasoning of other cookware surfaces is generally discouraged. Non-stick enamels often crack under heat stress, and non-stick polymers (such as Teflon) degrade at high heat so neither type of surface should be seasoned. Contents [ hide ]1 Methods of seasoning2 Surface chemistry3 Care4 Other surface types5 See also6 References Methods of seasoning [ edit]Food sticks easily to a new bare metal pan; it must either be oiled before use, or seasoned.

"text": "Chemical Change Examples There are innumerable chemical change examples that occur around us all the time but we never notice them. Take a look at some daily chemical change examples that are often observed in the surroundings... Last Updated On: Wednesday, June 30, 2010For those of you who are wondering, what is chemical change, it is a reaction that takes place when chemical bonds are broken due to environmental conditions and new bonds are formed between different atoms. This formation of new chemical bonds leads to a completely different product. During this breakage and formation of chemical bonds between the atoms, the particles of the original material collide with each other. There are exothermic and endothermic reactions that take place due to this collision which either releases or generates heat. This heat in turn causes certain chemical elements to undergo change in appearance and conditions. It is a common rule that whenever there are chemical reactions in nature, there is rearrangement of atoms and this is accompanied with an energy change forming new products. One of the very common chemical change examples is the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrogen chloride to form sodium chloride (Na Cl) or table salt. There are more such chemical change examples mentioned in the following paragraphs, so take a look. Examples of Chemical Change With the above mentioned elaborated chemical change definition, you must have guessed what it is all about."

"text": "Activation Energy Activation energy is the energy required for a reaction to occur, and determines its rate. Learning Objectives Discuss the concept of activation energy Key Takeaways Key Points Reactions require an input of energy to initiate the reaction; this is called the activation energy (E A ). Activation energy is the amount of energy required to reach the transition state. The source of the activation energy needed to push reactions forward is typically heat energy from the surroundings. For cellular reactions to occur fast enough over short time scales, their activation energies are lowered by molecules called catalysts. Enzymes are catalysts. Key Termsactivation energy: The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.catalysis: The increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.transition state: An intermediate state during a chemical reaction that has a higher energy than the reactants or the products. Many chemical reactions, and almost all biochemical reactions do not occur spontaneously and must have an initial input of energy (called the activation energy) to get started. Activation energy must be considered when analyzing both endergonic and exergonic reactions. Exergonic reactions have a net release of energy, but they still require a small amount of energy input before they can proceed with their energy-releasing steps."

The catalyst steals the oxygen, because it has a higher binding energy at high temperatures, leaving a slag and a pure metal.

Continue Reading Keep Learning What Type of Muscle Tissue Is Found in the Heart? Is the Heart a Muscle? What Are the Four Chambers of the Heart? Full Answer The heart circulates blood throughout the body. The heart must beat properly to help oxygenated blood move through the arteries, the lungs and all tissue throughout the body, and then return the deoxygenated blood to the heart through the veins. The heart walls must expand and contract with the blood circulation, pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs, where the red bloods cells pick up oxygen, and then back out through the powerful heart ventricles to the rest of the body. The pectinate muscles help increase the amount of blood that flows through the heart."

Mitral Valve Prolapse Definition Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a ballooning of the support structures of the mitral heart valve intothe left upper collection chamber of the heart. Description Other names for MVP include floppy valve and Barlow's syndrome. The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart between the top chamber (left atrium) and the bottom chamber (leftventricle). The valve opens and closes according to the heartbeat and the pressure that is exerted upon it from the blood in both chambers. The valve has supporting structures that attach to the heart muscle to help it open and closeproperly. When these structures weaken or lengthen abnormally, the valve may balloon into theleft atrium. Sometimes this can cause the mitral valve to leak blood backward. This condition may be inherited and occurs in approximately 10% of the population. It affectsmore women than men and often peaks after the age of 40."

"text": "Atrioventricular valves This section is about Structures of the Heart The atrioventricular valves are two of the four valves within the heart, the other two valves being the semilunar valves. The atrioventricular valves are located between the the atria and the ventricles of the heart. The atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle is called the bicuspid valve (also known as the mitral valve ), and the atrioventricular valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve. In each case, as the atrium of the heart contracts it pushes a quantity of blood into the corresponding ventricle. The atrioventricular valve consists of dense connective tissue covered by endothelium. It acts to prevent blood from flowing backward from the ventricle to the atrium. That is important because the next action in the sequence is the contraction of the ventricle to push the blood out of the heart into an artery for transport to the next organ around the body. The opening and closing of the atrioventricular valves is controlled by the differences in pressure across them: When blood passes from an atrium to a ventricle, the atrioventricular valve is pushed open (and the papillary muscles relax and the chordae tendineae lose their tension, becoming slack). At the next stage in the sequence the ventricle contracts. This forces blood out from the ventricle into the artery via which it leaves the heart."

These chordae tendineae connect the papillary muscles to the leaflets of the atrioventricular (AV) valves. The vernacular term for these structures is \"\"heart strings\"\". The function of the chordae tendineae is to limit the freedom of motion of the cusps of the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral), limiting their capacity to \"\"flap\"\" back into the corresponding atrium. Rupture of one or more chordae can cause retrograde flow (reflux or regurgitation) of blood from the ventricle into the atrium, causing cardiac dysfunction. The chordae tendineae are part of a larger complex of interacting anatomical structures that include the fibrous \"\"skeleton of the heart\"\", the fibrous core of the AV valves, the chordae tendineae, the papillary muscles, and the complex fibrous internal structure of the papillary muscles and the ventricular wall. The image shows the dissection of a human heart, with the right atrium open. The fan-like shape of the many chordae tendineae is clearly visible, spanning two leaflets.

The chordae tendin (e)ae, heart strings, or tendinous chords are tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect the leaflets of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves to the papillary muscles in the walls of the two bottom heart chambers, the ventricles. The cord-like tendons regulate the opening and closing of the leaflets of the heart’s valves between the upper and lower chambers during the cardiac cycle. There are three main types of chordae: primary (marginal) chordae, secondary (basal) chordae, and tertiary chordae. What do the chordae tendinae look like?

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The papillary muscles are attached to the chordae tendineae (which attach to the tricuspid or mitral valve, preventing back flow during ventricular contraction) unlike the trabeculae carneae. Trabeculae carneae are attached at either end (forming a bridge) or along their whole length. Papillary muscles and only attached to the ventricular wall at one end, the other is connected to the chordae tendineae. There are some differences in anatomy between the right and left ventricles; Right ventricle: 3 papillary muscles - anterior, posterior and septal (for each cusp of the tricuspid valve), rougher trabeculae carneae, and the septomarginal trabecula (moderator band, important in conduction system).

These civilizations are Egypt on the Nile River, China on the Huang He River, India on the Indus River, and Mesopotamia on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. River valleys were a necessity in Early civilizations. The Nile, a river that runs through Egypt played an important role in the creation of the civilization. The river was used for irrigation of their crops. The river made a good soil with a lot of silt. Egypt was called the breadbasket because it produced an incredible amount of grain and crops.

A. Guisepi Introduction Like Sumer, Egypt, and other early civilizations in the Middle East,civilizations first developed in East and South Asia in the vicinity of greatriver systems. When irrigated by the massive spring floods of the Yellow River, the rich soil of the North China plain proved a superb basis for whathas been the largest and most enduring civilization in human history. Civilization first developed in the Indus River valley in present-day Pakistanin the middle of the 3d millennium B. C., more than a thousand years earlierthan it did in China. In fact, the civilization of the Indus valley, usuallycalled Harappan after its chief city, rivals Sumer and Egypt as humanity'soldest. But like Sumer and its successor civilizations in the Middle East,Harappan civilization was unable to survive natural catastrophes and nomadicinvasions. In contrast to the civilization of the Shang rulers in China around1500 B. C., Harappa vanished from history. Until the mid-19th century it was\"\"lost\"\" or forgotten, even by the peoples who lived in the vicinity of itssand-covered ruins. Important elements of Harappan society were transmitted tolater civilizations in the Indian subcontinent. But unlike the Shang kingdom,Harappa did not survive to be the core and geographical center from which aunified and continuous civilization developed like that found in China. Thedifference in the fate of these two great civilizations provides one of thekey questions in dealing with the history of civilized societies: What factorspermitted some civilizations to endure for millennia while others rose andfell within a few centuries?"

These words may seem straightforward, easily understandable, and maybe even seem to have very little to do with world history, but sadly that is a false statement. These simple words that do not mean much to us now, but once long ago helped civilizations grow and culture to expand across the eastern hemisphere, which lead to the reaches of the rest of the world. These so called unimportant words set the atmosphere for civilization hundreds of years to come. These daunting words all had to do with civilizations from long ago, these unpromising words all helped the River Valley Civilizations, four of the greatest civilizations to eternally etch there names and importance into our life, but more importantly our past. Though the real question now isn’t how these now unforgettable words inspired and assist ancient Indus (India and Pakistan), Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China (the four River Valley Civilization), but how these everlasting civilizations differed and were still able to survive so close together; also how comparable they are, to each other, yet these small relations between each other decide serval victories and down falls that the world will ever know. +All of these victories and failures were all influenced by several occurrence, one being how much the people of the civilization were willing to fight for the home, another one being the effort that the civilizations placed into these battles, but the most important one that had the greatest effected on these victories and defeats is the government that controlled these civilizations at the time. India, China, Mesopotamia, and Egypt’s government are all considered different, but technically are all similar as well. Looking back into the past, you are able to see what government once ruled over so many places at the same time. China’s government was made of three dynasties, “a family of kings”, who ruled over the land during the period of the River Valley Civilizations."

"text": "A tomb is an enclosed space for the repository of the remains of the dead. Traditionally tombs have been located in caves, underground, or in structures designed specifically for the purpose of containing the remains of deceased human beings and, often, their possessions, loved ones, or, as at the tomb known as `The Great Death Pit' at the city of Ur, one's servants. The Natufian Grave in Israel, which dates from c. 12,000 BCE, contained the remains of a man buried with his dog. Tombs have always been considered the homes of the dead and every tomb ever constructed was built with this concept in mind. The tomb is the final resting place of a dead person whose soul, however, would live on in another realm. Personal artifacts or pets were often interred with the deceased because it was thought they would be needed in the afterlife. The construction of a tomb would also reflect the status of the person buried there and the beliefs of a certain culture concerning the afterlife. Ancient cultures from Mesopotamia to Rome maintained that the dead lived on after life and ancient stories concerning ghosts (such as the one famously told by the Roman writer Pliny the Younger in c. 100 CE) have to do with the improper burial of the dead. Ancient inscriptions from cultures as diverse as Mesopotamia, China , Greece, and the Maya all cite the importance of a respectful burial and remembrance of the dead and the dire consequences of failing to do so. Tombs in Ancient Egypt The most elaborate tombs in ancient times were those built by the Egyptians for their kings, the pharaohs."

For most of that time, however, they had no written history. During this time of “prehistory,” humans spent most of their lives moving from place to place, hunting for food, building crude shelters, and protecting themselves from wild animals. Around 5000 BCE, things slowly began to change. For the first time, humans started to settle down in one place. They began growing their own food and building permanent homes. The first cities were formed. People began using metals, such as copper and bronze, instead of stones to make tools. Then, around 3000 BCE, they created a system of letters and began to write. This new form of living was called civilization."

"text": "Mesoamerica was yet another world location for the emergence of an early civilization, but Mesoamerican societies were not necessarily connected to a single famous river (like the Nile) as the other early civilizations were, though there were plenty of rivers in the New World. Because of the physical separation from Europe, Asia and Africa, large-scale civilization in the Americas tended to emerge somewhat later than elsewhere (maybe 1000 bce versus 3000 bce in Mesopotamia), and Mesoamerican did not benefit as much from the exchange of ideas and objects that accompanied contact between civilizations on the other three continents. There have been complicated geophysical arguments put forward--to explain the differences between what happened in Eurasia versus Mesoamerica--about the ease of material and intellectual exchange in an east-west direction, such as from Beijing to Paris, and the difficulty of such exchanges taking place in a north-south direction, across different climactic zones, such as between Chicago and Rio de Janeiro. In addition, civilization in Mesoamerica did not have the cultural unity like that enjoyed by, for example, Egypt or China. There were several different societies in Mesoamaerica that rose and fell over time, (most widely known were the Olmec, Zapotec, Toltec, Mixtec, Mexica, Aztec, Inka). In this respect, Mesoamerica most closely resembled what happened in Mesopotamia where one after another they appeared, spread, and then decayed. It was the initial emergence of the Olmec along the Gulf coast (1200 - 400 bce) that set many of the patterns of future civilization in Mesoamerica. Though isolated, it is clear that Mesoamerican civilization achieved some very impressive mathematical, architectural, engineering and calendrical advances. In terms of urban population, for example, the city of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico (not too far from present-day Mexico City) reached a size of well over 100,000 by 100 ce; that size easily rivaled anything that had existed anywhere else in the ancient world. ( Note that there are still scholarly disputes over details who actually inhabited the city, maybe the Olmecs, before the city's decline by 8th century. )"

The network of routes also served as a channel for trading of Indian, Arabian, African and East Asian goods. The incense trade flourished from South Arabia to the Mediterranean between roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE. This trade was crucial to the economy of Yemen . Frankincense and myrrh trees were seen as a source of wealth by its rulers. The demands for scents and incense by the empires of antiquity, such as Egypt, Rome and Babylon, made Arabia one of the oldest trade centers of the world. Frankincense was a product traded along the Incense Route. It is an aromatic resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia and is used in incense, as well as in perfumes. Although it is known as \"\"frankincense\"\" to westerners, the resin is also known as olibanum, which is derived from the Arabic al-lubān (roughly translated: \"\"that which results from milking\"\"), a reference to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree."

Current thinking is that there was no single \"\"cradle\"\", but several civilizations that developed independently, with the Fertile Crescent ( Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt) understood to be the earliest. [ 1] Other civilizations arose in Asia among cultures situated along large river valleys, such as Indo-Gangetic Plain in India [2] [3] and the Yellow River in China. [ 4] The extent to which there was significant influence between the early civilizations of the Near East and those of East Asia is disputed. Scholars accept that the civilizations of Mesoamerica, mainly in modern Mexico, and Norte Chico in present-day Peru emerged independently from those in Eurasia. [ 5]Scholars have defined civilization using various criteria such as the use of writing, cities, a class-based society, agriculture, animal husbandry, public buildings, metallurgy, and monumental architecture. [ 6] [7] The term cradle of civilization has frequently been applied to a variety of cultures and areas, in particular the Ancient Near Eastern Chalcolithic ( Ubaid period) and Fertile Crescent, Ancient India and Ancient China. It has also been applied to ancient Anatolia, the Levant and Iranian plateau, and used to refer to culture predecessors—such as Ancient Greece as the predecessor of Western civilization [8] —even when such sites are not understood as an independent development of civilization, as well as within national rhetoric.

In the history of how systems of representation of language through graphic means have evolved in different human civilizations, more complete writing systems were preceded by proto-writing, systems of ideographic or early mnemonic symbols. True writing, in which the content of a linguistic utterance is encoded so that another reader can reconstruct, with a fair degree of accuracy, the exact utterance written down, is a later development. It is distinguished from proto-writing, which typically avoids encoding grammatical words and affixes, making it more difficult or impossible to reconstruct the exact meaning intended by the writer unless a great deal of context is already known in advance.

Without trade, civilizations cannot thrive or grow. When trade is happening, not only are you importing food and spices, but also ideas, crafts, technologies, and philosophies. It also keeps good relations with rival empires because the civilizations rely on each other. In summary, trade is extremely important to empires.

Your personal space is equal to the size of your body. This means if you place another one of you in front of you, in back of you, to the left of you and to the right of you, then that would be your personal space. Notice how you feel when someone or certain people step into that ring of space. Your aura can emanate far beyond your personal space. There are some people who can see the appearance of a color pattern or schemes, swirling colorful energies in different shapes, sizes and changing colors. You don't have to be a clairvoyant in order to tap into this energy, but you do have to penetrate that innate extrasensory ability that we all have to detect a feeling or impression of our surroundings. In reading an aura, this color pattern is believed to be dependent on an individual's well-being. This includes their chemical, emotional, physical, and spiritual states.

The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the human body (Human Energy Field-HEF) and every organism and object in the Universe.

These particles of energy are suspended around the healthy human body in an oval shaped field. This \"\"auric egg\"\" emits out from the body approximately 2-3 feet (1 metre on average) on all sides.

"text": "\"Rule of Law 12 - \"\"Enchantment - Aura\"\" and Other Oddities of 9th Edition Dominick Riesland11/11/05It is generally accepted that the Core Set is a little less exciting than an expansion. After all, if a mechanic is too complicated for the block it was in, there is no chance to bring it into the Core Set, as that is marketed to newer players. However, Core Sets are often seen as prime opportunities to try out new ideas, such as card faces, or rules adjustments. And in this case, that is exactly what is being done. The most notable change you will find to cards, especially if you've perused either the sortable spoiler from Wizards or just happened to be looking at the Oracle recently is the \"\"Enchantment - Aura\"\" type line. What does this mean? The first time Wizards tried to make cards that recognized a distinction between enchantments that sit alone and do their thing and enchantments that attached to things was in the Mirage set. Serene Heart destroyed all \"\"local\"\" enchantments, while Tranquil Domain destroyed all \"\"global\"\" enchantments. Global enchantments were those that didn't have any designator other than \"\"Enchantment\"\" except for the \"\"Enchant World\"\" cards that were a specific exemption. This has been the main rules differentiator since then (although reference was made to the fact that local enchantments didn't say \"\"Enchantment\"\" but rather \"\"Enchant <foo>\"\", where <foo> described the general permanent type that it could enchant."

It is extremely powerful, yet gentle energy that can be easily channelled to yourself and others, just by intention . Reiki healing is a pure energy form. When it is combined with the sincere Desire of the Healee, who is willing to effect a cleansing within their emotional and spiritual consciousness, a total healing can occur.

Have you been getting your practice in? If so, and if you’ve been successful in seeing the auras, you may have noticed something: auras come in different colors. Each color, ranging from the brilliant colors of the rainbow to darker hues you see in nature, has a different meaning for the person it’s connected to. Here is a basic guide of the main colors you should be aware of. Take note that these colors refer to seeing the aura in the general head area of the person you are reading; aura color can change from section of the body to section of the body, but since the brain, where the thoughts and focus take place, is located in the head, you will need to pay special attention to it. As we mentioned yesterday, there are also \"\"flashes\"\" you may see as you read an aura. These changing flashes indicate quickly changing thoughts or desires. We’ve included a guide on these various \"\"flash\"\" colors, as well!Without further ado, here are the main colors to be aware of when reading the aura of another person, or yourself: Bright Colors• Purple: this color means you’re connected with spiritual thoughts. Because we humans can be fickle and changing, purple is never a strong point in the aura, and instead appears as the bits of \"\"lightning\"\" we mentioned, indicating truly spiritual thoughts.• Blue: this is a good place to be."

Contact Author Auras Source What Is an Aura? Energy. It’s all around us, it is us, it is constantly moving and changing. Everything emits energy. It has been referred to as Prana, Chi, Ka, among other names by various religions. An aura is a vibration of the energy field surrounding matter, living and non-living. An aura can be seen as a solid color or layers of colors around matter. It can be faint, indirect, or a sophisticated luminous radiation, with color points, often appearing within a 2-3 ft. of a field, particularly above the head or where bare skin is exposed (when viewing living matter)."

While Nature or God has created this glorious natural phenomenon; philosophers have given a meaning to its colors. Every rainbow has seven colors beginning with red and ending with violet or purple. To remember the order of these colors, people use the acronym ROY G. BIV or VIBGYOR which stands for Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet. The Bible and the colors of the rainbow We cannot talk about the significance of colors of the rainbow without mentioning the Bible. It is believed that “rainbow is a sign from the Almighty that we are not forgotten”. It is mentioned in the story of Noah’s Ark; after God appeared before Noah following the flood, there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky signifying his Glory and Power as well as His Covenant. In the Bible, Rainbow is mentioned in The Genesis, The Revelation and also Book of Ezekiel. In Genesis, it is described as a sign of God’s Mercy as well as the pact/covenant He made with Noah that such a flood would not be sent again. In Ezekiel 1:26-28, colors of the rainbow are compared to the glory of God while in Revelation; Apostle John compares the rainbow colors to the glory or power of God."

The statements below are to help you in your own self-analysis.

For more information or further advice read books on the chakra system (see below for some books that I recommend) or visit a professional aura and chakra counsellor (qualified aura/chakra therapists are trained counsellors such as Aurastar 2000 practitioners or a medical intuitives). Also chakra tools can be found on many sites that sell metaphysical products. One of my favorites is www.chakracompany.com Part One These questions are connected to your Red Root chakra power.

They know this because the energy can be detected using advanced bioelectric technologies. One of these technologies is called Kirlian photography. Kirlian photography is an electrographic recording technique that works by placing an object on top of a sheet film, which is placed on top of a metal plate and then charged with high voltages. This process causes a corona discharge between the object and the metal plate, which is recorded by the film as light patterns of colors. Kirlian photography can also be used to detect energies emitted from the human body. What Is the Human Aura? If you study energy mechanics deeply enough, you should know that everything is made of energy and that matter is a projection of energy. Since everything is made of energy, then everything emits energy in one form or another. The human body emits many different forms of energy."

An aura is a colorful, multilayered oval energy field that is sometimes referred to as a psychic energy field. All living things are surrounded by an aura, which are oval-shaped, colored bands of sounds, lights and vibrations. Each layer within the aura vibrates differently. The aura contains information about our physical, emotional and spiritual health and can reflect the condition of our chakras. It also holds a multitude of information about one’s past, present and future. An aura is noticeable in different way to those who are sensitive to them. For example, many psychics, psychic mediums and healers who are sensitive to the vibrations of each layer can either visually see or physically sense the colors. Kirlian cameras can also be used to photograph and view the aura. Enjoy learning about the auras and what their many colors may signify."

[ 101 Hall, 40] [Hall En, 143] [Simmons, 33, 47] [Eason, 243]Aura Quartz crystals have been part of the New Age movement since the 1980’s, prized for their ability to expand the consciousness and heal the physical and spiritual body with their extraordinary high vibration. While most practitioners prefer natural, untreated stones for their metaphysical work, many consider Aura Quartz, with its pure components and synergistic energies, to be the exception to the rule. [ Simmons, 33, 47] [101 Hall, 40] [Eason, 243]The following is a list of some of the well-known varieties and their properties. It is by no means complete, as new combinations are continuously being created. All Aura Quartzes carry the general properties of Quartz, as well as the metal (s) with which it is paired. Angel Aura Quartz - Clear Quartz bonded with Platinum and Silver, sometimes Gold or other trace metals; exhibits a light blue, rainbow and silvery iridescence like the gossamer wings of angels. It carries a very loving and sweet energy, stimulating the spirit and elevating one’s mood."

And may not even be rose seed. Besides that roses do not grow true to variety from seed. So even if you had rose seeds from a \"\"black\"\" rose (which actually will be a very dark red) the plants that grow from them might be any color depending on the parents of the rose the seeds came from. There is no way to know what color until they bloom. Most rose seeds need a cold stratification before they will germinate. To do this you have to take the seeds out of the hips, clean them and wrap the seeds in a damp paper towel, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator for about 6 to 8 weeks. Then either start checking them for germinations and plant as they germinate or plant them all and wait for them to germinate. Without this cold period they may never germinate at all or may take months to do so. If you do a search on here you should find many threads that explain how to do this in detail.1 Like Save March 13, 2014 at 3:25PMhirdepal_singh (10a & 10b)I tried that way also kept them in refrigrator for 5-6 weeks and i did that thrice ,, but nothing came up .. i hope i won`t be able to c a black rose in my garden,,, over here people grow roses from there bushes and when i talk about seeds they laugh at me because no one ever had grown roses from seeds so iether i need a bush of black rose ,, or i have to quit ,, if you can help me to send a black rose bush i am even ready to pay for that ,, Regards,,,Hirde (heart) i can upload the pictures of seeds i have Like Save March 14, 2014 at 5:18AMseil zone 6b MIAll new varieties of roses are grown from seeds."

A national flag is a flag that represents and symbolizes a country. The national flag is flown by the government of a country, but can usually also be flown by citizens of the country. A national flag is designed with specific meanings for its colors and symbols. The colors of the national flag may be worn by the people of a nation to show their patriotism, or related paraphernalia that show the symbols or colors of the flag may be used for those purposes. The design of a national flag may be altered after the occurrence of important historical events."

The design of the current flag was finalized in 1900 with the addition of the coat of arms in the center of the flag. Before using the yellow, blue and red tricolor, Ecuador used white and blue flags that contained stars for each province of the country. The design of the flag is very similar to those of Colombia and Venezuela, which are also former constituent territories of Gran Colombia. All three are based on a proposal by Venezuelan General Francisco de Miranda, which was adopted by Venezuela in 1811 and later Gran Colombia with some modifications. There is a variant of the flag that does not contain the coat of arms that is used by the merchant marine. This flag matches Colombia's in every aspect, but Colombia uses a different design when her merchant marine ships are at sail."

"text": "The history of Argentina’s flag, which dates back to 1812, is wrapped in a curious mix of revolutionary fighting for independence from Spain and Incan sun worship. The Argentine flag has three horizontal bands; the top and bottom ones are light blue, and the middle is white. The Argentine flag colors’ meaning is disputed. Some say the white represents silver. Early conquistadors named the country Argentina after the Latin word Argentinum, meaning silver, thinking that the region contained vast amounts of the precious metal. The blue bands may represent the sky, the waters of Argentina’s Rio de la Plata, or the blue used by the Spanish royal house of Bourbon on their coat of arms. Observing the flag, our gaze is immediately attracted to its center, where we find its most striking feature: a human face wearing a neutral expression inside a gold disc with straight and wavy rays emitting from its center, representing a sun. The sun named el sol de mayo (the sun of May) after Argentina’s May revolution, which eventually leads to the nation’s independence from Spain, is a national emblem. Argentine coinage dating back to 1813 has an image of the same sun, as does the Uruguayan flag (differing only in the number of rays), and early versions of the Peruvian flag. Juan de Dios Tupac Amaru (1760-1843), a Peruvian descendant of Incan nobility, designed The Sun of May, which pays tribute to the Incan sun god Inti."

The Ribbon is a component of the Microsoft Office Fluent UI. Unlike other applications in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, such as Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and Microsoft Office Power Point, which rely exclusively on the Ribbon, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 uses both the Ribbon and command bars. Additionally, Outlook does not support document-level customizations of the Ribbon. You can customize the Ribbon only by implementing the IRibbon Extensibility interface in an Outlook add-in. In the main application window, Outlook displays the command bars that are familiar to users of earlier versions of Microsoft Office."

This is perhaps one of the most popular symbols of the season, representing the Divine Marriage between the Lord and Lady of the Greenwood. The pole represents the male principle, and the ribbons that wrap around it (and the wreath placed atop the pole) are symbolic of the female principle. The Maypole represents the phallus of the God. The wreath atop represents the vagina of the Goddess. As the Maypole is danced, the ribbons wind around the pole and the wreath lowers, symbolizing the Divine Marriage, the sexual union of God and Goddess. -- Yasmine Galenorn, Dancing with the Sun The Dance The May Day dance is rich in pagan symbolism.

In 1990, bright red ribbons were first used to represent the AIDS awareness movement. Finally, in 1991, the Susan G. Komen Foundation started issuing pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness. While pink was initially chosen only to avoid similarity with another breast cancer activist's peach-colored ribbons, the color pink was later justified by explaining that the color is quintessentially female."

"text": "The History of the Autism Ribbon Symbolwritten by: Kristina Dems • edited by: Elizabeth Wistrom • updated: 5/13/2011The autism ribbon symbol is a powerful and emotive icon that raises awareness of autism spectrum disorders. Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment problem in which its manifestations are observable in early childhood or commonly before three years old. It is characterized by communication disorders, impaired socialization and repetitive behaviors. This complex disorder brought many families and concerned citizens to come up with a symbol representing the complex nature of Autism. The autism ribbon symbol is a jigsaw ribbon with several bright colors that include red, yellow and blue. It symbolizes awareness of autism among those directly affected by it and even those who have not heard of the disorder until they were told what the cool jigsaw puzzle ribbon design is all about. It is used to spread awareness about the disorder of autism, often letting everyone know that whoever is sporting the ribbon is someone who understands the disorder and is making a statement that they are supporting the cause. The Meaning of the Colors The design of the ribbon which is inspired by jigsaw puzzles represents the complexity and the mystery of autism. The condition is not easily defined within set terms and definitions. It tells people that even though the disorder is not easy to understand, it is worth understanding and spending time on for the sake of those who have it it."

Cancer ribbons are a great way to raise awareness, but we have heard from people who are embarrassed when they do not recognize a particular colored ribbon. The good news is that most people are understanding if you don’t know which ribbon color goes with which cancer, as there are a lot. But for those of you who wish to familiarize themselves, here’s a list of cancer ribbons that are used to raise awareness for common cancers, as well as the awareness months some Cancer-Related Ribbons: Colors and Months A light purple or lavender ribbon is generally used to represent all cancers as a whole. Sometimes, instead, many different ribbons are combined together to represent all cancers. Uncommon or rare cancers may be represented in a few ways—either with a light purple ribbon or a black and white zebra print ribbon. The zebra stands for a common saying in medicine. In a field of horses, you are most likely to see horses, but many who are living with cancer realize that \"\"zebras\"\" (rare cancers) occur as well, and when you add all of these uncommon and rare cancers together, they are actually quite common. It's important to note that a specific cancer may be represented by more than one ribbon color and that this can vary depending on where you live. Some ribbon colors also represent specific non-profit groups who advocate for a particular type of cancer."

We know that our bodies are matter, and thus must be composed of atoms that have been specially arranged to produce the molecules and larger structures that sustain our lives. We know that the properties of an atom (e.g., size, electronegativity, number of valence electrons) determine how that atom will interact with other atoms; furthermore, the properties and reactions of molecules depend on the properties and interactions of the atoms in the molecules. Hence, to study the human body as a complex organization of molecules that undergoes a wide array of interrelated chemical reactions, we should begin by asking one of the most basic questions about any system of molecules: What sort of atoms does the system contain?"

Others include orchid for testicular cancer, peach for uterine cancer, light blue for prostate cancer, burgundy for multiple myeloma and black for melanoma. These are the only color representations acceptable internationally, says OCRF. Some colors do not represent the cancer type but are symbolic to other details related to cancer. For example, blue symbolizes living or coping with cancer, states Awareness Ribbon Gifts. However, some of these colors also represent other features with no relation to cancer. A good example is lavender that also represents epilepsy, foster care, infantile spasms, Rett syndrome and hypokalemic periodic paralysis. The cancer color ribbons chart also serves as a reference to other awareness products. These products vary from wristbands, jewelry, bags and slogans, among others, says OCRF.

This kind of knot reflects the love of the wedding couple as it grows stronger and will be hard to break. Two colors of cord or rope are needed. The groom takes his piece and makes a sailor’s knot on one end of the bride's piece of rope. The bride takes the other piece and makes a sailor’s knot on her end.

Among them are fear and fire, wealth and power, purity, fertility, seduction, love, and beauty. Red is also representative of a certain time and place in one’s personal life, including when a woman gets married. A married woman can be identified by the red henna on her hands and the red powder, known as sindoor, worn along her hairline. In South Africa, red is associated with mourning, and the section of red in the country’s flag symbolizes violence and sacrifices that were made during the struggle for independence. In Thai tradition, each day of the week is assigned a specific color and is linked with a particular God. Red is the color for Sundays, and it’s associated with Surya, a solar God, who was born on this day. Many Thai people pay their respects to Surya by wearing red on his birthday each year. In Chinese culture, red is traditionally worn on the New Year, as well as during funerals and weddings. It represents celebration and is meant to bring luck, prosperity, happiness, and a long life to the people."

There lies some cause behind the selection of the colors, the design (stripes, crosses and bands) and the symbols (star, sun, crescent etc) embedded in the flag. There might be some false stories as well created on the history of some flags.

"text": "(30+) Awesome Tattoo Meanings March 5, 2016 By Tattoodle Leave a Comment Tattooing in one form or another has been practiced for centuries. Originating in Asia, the art of tattooing for religious meaning, cultural tradition or just for appearances has spread worldwide. While some tattoos are chosen because the wearer has an affinity for the artwork, many tattoos have a universal meaning that goes beyond the basic graphic. The following are a few examples of the meanings of tattoos that have a universal symbolism for wearers, artists and admirers. Maori Tattoos Tatuagem Kirituhi Maori Tattoo The Maori, the native tribe of New Zealand, are known for their distinctive facial tattoos. The tattoos are not restricted to the face, but usually take up a part or even all of the face. The deep grooves and patterns of Ta Moko, the name the Maori give the process of making the tattoos, are a storytelling device. People from the tribe who wear these tattoos are retelling the history of their family. In fact, the tribe considers people that are not Maori, but copy and wear the tattoos, phonies who are performing a form identity theft. If a person wishes to wear tattoos in the style of the Maori, they should seek out an artist who is familiar with the original patterns."

Wings tattoos can vary in size, color, and design, so work closely with your tattoo artist to make sure your own personal meaning comes across in the finished product. This style of tattoo can include a variety of different winged creatures, such as angels, various animals or birds, and even insects, thus making this a great tattoo choice for anyone wishing to demonstrate their affinity with one creature or another. As such, wings tattoos are a great choice for anyone with a deep love of nature and her creations, and they can provide a more unique design than simply getting a tattoo of a given animal. Meanings of Wings Tattoos The myriad different possible designs for wings tattoos, angel, animal, or otherwise, makes the potential meanings almost limitless: it is really up to the wearer! A few of the many different meanings are listed below: Memory of someone lost Losing someone to breast cancer Affinity for nature Connection to animal guide/spirit Duality of human nature Death Perseverance/rising again Fallen state Religious faith Love Freedom Adaptability Metamorphosis Ancestral heritage Variations of Wings Tattoos There are several different variations of wings tattoos that you can get done, each one with their own distinct meaning. With such a wide variety of designs to choose from, wings tattoos look great on both men and women, and they can easily be adjusted to be a small design on the ankle to a full-back piece. Angel Wings Tattoo Designs Sometimes the simplest design is the best, though the basic angel wings tattoo can still be completely customized to reflect your own personality, struggles, or heartfelt losses. You may choose to make this tattoo a true statement piece by having the wings cover your entire back: this can demonstrate your belief that you will be lifted up and reside with the angels someday, while a smaller set of angel wings placed discreetly somewhere can be a constant reminder that your guardian angel is always watching over you. Angel Wings with Halo Tattoo Getting a tattoo of angel wings with a halo atop them is a way to remember a loved one who has passed away and is now an angel in heaven."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Uncategorized Why you write S symbol for distance? Flag Why you write S symbol for distance? Answer by Math physics Confidence votes 20Strictly speaking, it's not. The symbol 's' is so often used for displacement because the symbol 'd' is often chosen for distance. This is an important distinction in physics, where differences between scalar (distance) and vector (displacement) types are used to measure and describe different things. ============ I believe that the standard explanation for the use of the letter s for distance is that the Latin word for distance is \"\"spatium\"\". Whether s (or d) is used to indicate distance or displacement, the distinction is that a right-facing arrow is placed over the letter to indicate displacement since it is a vector quantity. That said, it is probably not unheard of to find a textbook that uses d for distance and s for displacement, so long as their use is defined that way.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Flags have long been used as representation of places and people, and the thought that goes into their design goes far beyond just the choosing of complimentary colors and images. Their meanings often exemplify the values, history and moral standing of the places or individuals they represent. The Importance of Flags Flags have been used as common symbols in history for over 5,000 years, dating as far back as 3000 BC with a metal Iranian flag and flag representation in Egyptian tomb carvings. Vexillology, or the study of flags, takes its literal meaning from the Latin word for “guide,” a meaning which continues to carry weight in the use of flags today. The word was created by Dr. Whitney Smith in 1957. Flags have been used in battle for symbolizing wins and defeats, or to send signals to allies and enemies. In today’s society, every country in the world flies a representative flag, as well most states and territories within. Many families, organizations, and sports teams have also designed characteristic flags. Regardless of the venue or reason, a flag’s design is created under careful consideration, and the colors used in its foundation represent far greater ideals than what is found on a simple color wheel."

In many organizations, however, attitudes surrounding gifts are beginning to relax. In any case, you will have to approach giving gifts with discretion, as outlined in the following points. If you wish to give a gift to an individual, you must do it privately, in the context of friendship, not business. The Chinese will decline a gift three times before finally accepting, so as not to appear greedy. You will have to continue to insist. Once the gift is accepted, express gratitude.

These rings changed color in response to temperature, potentially reflecting the body temperature change associated with the wearer's emotions. The rings were an instant sensation, despite the high price tag. A silver-colored (plated, not sterling silver) ring retailed for $45, although a gold ring was available for $250. Whether or not the rings were accurate, people were enchanted by the colors produced by the thermochromic liquid crystals.

The patterns of the dream catcher would be similar to how these Native Americans tied the webbing for their snowshoes. However a Lakota story tells of how Iktomi (spider) came and spoke to an old Lakota spiritual leader who was on a high mountain and had a vision. In his vision, Iktomi, the great trickster and searcher of wisdom, appeared in the form of a spider. Iktomi spoke to him in a sacred language. As he spoke, Iktomi the spider picked up the elder’s willow hoop which had feathers, horsehair, beads and offerings on it, and began to spin a web. He spoke to the elder about the cycles of life, how we begin our lives as infants, move on through childhood and on to adulthood. Finally we go to old age where we must be taken care of as infants, completing the cycle. But, Iktomi said as he continued to spin his web, in each time of life there are many forces, some good and some bad. If you listen to the good forces, they will steer you in the right direction."

In Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, and other European nations, governments enacted laws that penalized individuals based on their political and religious beliefs and identities. In France and Britain, intellectual developments in the fields of philosophy and psychoanalysis revolutionized the concept of identity. In this lesson, students will discuss what identity means to them and will consider how their own identities are affected by the social and political realities of their time. They will then discuss how four artists—Otto Dix, Pablo Picasso, Dorothea Lange, and Alberto Giacometti—represent individual and universal identities in portraiture. LESSON OBJECTIVESStudents will consider the concept of identity in relation to their own experience. Students will consider and discuss portraiture. Students will discuss the costume, pose, gesture, expression, and mood in these portraits, and the artist’s stylistic choices. Students will consider how artists represent individual and collective identity in portraits. Students will consider artistic choices in relation to historical context."

"text": "What is Abstract Photography?written by: allychevalier •edited by: Rhonda Callow •updated: 6/13/2011Abstract photography has both confused and delighted photographers almost since the invention of the camera. This article defines abstract photography, as much as it is possible to define it, by its complex use of color, texture, focus, exposure and more. Defining Abstract Photography Abstract photography is a field that leaves many puzzled as to what exactly it includes. The definition varies so much by photographer and gallery, it seems like there is no common ground whatsoever. However, there are a few commonalities and motifs in abstract photography that will help clarify the field somewhat, even if there is no explicit, all-encompassing rule that all abstract photographs follow. Subject & Composition The most common reaction to abstract photographer is probably an incredulous, curious, What is that? Many abstract photos have no clear or discernible subject, while others try and make the subject appear like an entirely unlike object. Most abstract photographers focus on the everyday objects around them, familiar things that they show us through their third eye to be less familiar than we like to think, turning sunny suburban sidewalks into dark noir landscapes, grass into exact geometric designs. Our daily life is transformed from something we are entirely used to something we are not entirely at home with. Many abstract photographs are minimalistic, isolating a subject."

Discover how you can use it for yourself…by Caroline Lucas Citrine Properties and Meanings Citrine crystals are usually yellow, yellow brown, orange, dark orange brown, and reddish brown in color. They are easily one of the most popular quartzes in the world. They are formed when purple amethyst undergoes heat treatment. This is why they’re also sometimes called ‘burnt amethyst’. The name citrine comes from the Greek word ‘citron’, also because the crystal has a similar color to the citrus fruit. Citrine crystals resemble a topaz, and the color of citrine is caused by chemical impurities. It’s the iron in citrine that gives it its pale-yellow color. Rio Grande do Sol in Brazil is the largest supplier of natural citrine. But there are also citrine mines that can be found in the USA, Russia, Madagascar, England, France, Spain, Brazil, and South Africa."

Learn how to cook gammon steak and you will be able to make a delicious meal. If you have not enjoyed this juicy treat in a while you might be in the mood for it tonight, in which case read on and find out how to prepare it like a pro for juicy and succulent results. Gammon steak cooks quickly and some people accidentally overcook it, which you will want to avoid. What is Gammon Steak Anyway? If you are in the UK you will probably already know what gammon is, but our friends across the Pond might not! Gammon comes from an Old Northern French word ‘gambe’ which means the hind leg. Gammon steak is the hind leg of a pig (the ham) after it is boned and rolled or cut into individual steaks. You usually get it vacuum-packed and it usually keeps for months because the brining process and vacuum packing preserve it and keep the flavor intact. I have some in the refrigerator right now which says “use by February 28th, 2014” which at the time of writing was a month away!Gammon meat comes from a carcass after brining treatment while ham comes from the carcass before, although both gammon steak and ham are cured meats and look and taste very similar."

"text": "\"Description of Bharatanatyam What's here: Basic Features Distinctive Features Abstract Dance Expressive Dance Program of a Recital The Message of Bharatanatyam Bibliography Bharatanatyam has many dimensions. They include body movements, facial expressions, hand gestures, footwork, costumes, music, repertoire, and themes of performances. Because Bharatanatyam is so well developed, all of these aspects of the art have been codified, and are documented in ancient scriptures as well as recent books. Our description of Bharatanatyam is intended for a spectator, and one who is relatively unfamiliar with the dance, as opposed to a dance student, professional, or scholar. Rukmini Devi has said that the difference between a technical expert and an artistic genius is the ability to master the technique and then forget it. By transcending technique and forgetting oneself, a dancer enters the spirit of the dance and expresses it. Similarly, those of us interested in Bharatanatyam can benefit by knowing a little about the technique and language of the art form. Otherwise, we can be distracted or puzzled by details of technique or appearance, and miss the deeper meaning. When we are accustomed to the mode of expression of Bharatanaytam, then we can see beyond it, and experience what is being expressed in the performance. We’ll touch on the terminology and organization of various elements of the dance, outline the different dance items that make up a recital, and attempt to explain how they all come together to give expression to the dancer and enjoyment to the audience."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the Mýa album, see Moodring. A mood ring shown face front. Note the band of color change. A mood ring is a ring that contains a thermochromic element, such as liquid crystal, that changes colors based upon the temperature of the finger of the wearer. Most new rings come with a color chart indicating the supposed mood of the wearer based upon the colors indicated on the ring. The mood ring was created in 1975 by two New York inventors, Josh Reynolds and Maris Ambats, who bonded liquid crystals with quartz stones set into rings. [ 1] They initially retailed for $45 for a \"\"silvery setting\"\" and $250 for gold, and first sold at Bonwit Teller, [2] rapidly becoming a fad in the 1970s. [ 3]Function [ edit]A mood ring is a specialized liquid crystal thermometer, wearable on the finger. The ring is typically ornamented with a faux gemstone (usually made of quartz or glass) which is either a clear capsule filled with thermochromic liquid crystal, or has a thin sheet of liquid crystal sealed underneath. Changes in temperature cause the crystal to reflect different wavelengths of light which changes the color of the stone."

"text": "What Do Your Fingernails Reveal About Your Personality? Some of our smallest personal habits, like how we keep our fingernails trimmed, our finger length, or even the natural shape of our fingernails, can reveal more than you might guess about our unique, individual personality traits. In this article, we will look at some of the reasons that our fingernails can reveal our inner personality and what your fingernails say about you. What Do Your Fingernails Reveal About Your Personality? In grade school, it used to be a joke that you would ask someone to look at their fingernails and if they turned their hand with their fingernails pointing toward themselves with their hand curled, it meant they were feminine, but if they looked at their hand with their nails pointing toward the other person, it meant they were masculine. Boys tried to catch girls doing this the ‘wrong’ way for their gender and vice versa, and then used that as another reason to tease. It turns out that fingers may have more in common with our masculinity or femininity than you might think. Let’s look at some of the research on finger length and fingernail shape and what it means for our personalities. Finger length and masculine or feminine personality traits Research by the Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta, Canada studied finger length in men and correlation to mood. The researchers say that there is a clear reason for finger length being studied because ‘Finger length ratio (index to ring finger) is a sexually dimorphic trait found in a variety of species ranging from humans and mice to zebra finches."

Next Generation Video Connector for Personal Computers Share Pin Email Print Belkin Windows Guides & Tutorials Drivers & Hardware Customizing File & Folder Management Users & Accounts Drive Management System & Security Basics Installing & Upgrading Tips & Tricks Key Conceptsby Mark Kyrnin Updated March 05, 2017Over the years, the computer industry has seen a wide number of different video connectors. The VGA standard helped bring high resolution and color displays away from the first TV video connectors. DVI introduced us to digital displays that allowed for greater color and clarity. Finally, the HDMI interface integrated a digital video and audio signal into a single cable for use with home theater and even PC displays. So, with all of these advancements, why is there the Display Port connector? That's precisely what this article looks to explain. Limitations of Existing Video Connectors Each of the three major video connectors has problems that limit their use with future computer displays. Even though they have addressed some of the issues, some still remain. Let's take a look at each of the formats and the problems that they have: DVISingle DVI limited to 1920x1200 resolution with 24-bit color Dual-link DVI limited to 2560x1600 resolution with 24-bit color Heavy cabling requires connector to be screwed into card/display No audio support HDMIVersion 2.0 supports up to 4K Resolutions but fairly uncommon still Version 1.3 supports up to 2560x1600 resolution with audio stream Version 1.1 supports up to 1920x1200 resolution with audio stream Category 1 cables limited to 5 meters in length Display Port Basics Display Port was developed among the members of the Video Electronics Standards Association."

As soon as devices start supporting the Video Electronics Standards Association's new Display Port 1.2 standard, you may be able to. VESA has beefed up its royalty-free display interface by, among other things, doubling bandwidth from 10.8 Gbps for the Display Port 1.1a standard to an impressive 21.6 Gbps for the new one. This bandwidth increase enables resolutions of up to 3840x2400 at 60Hz—think of the same number of pixels as four 24\"\" monitors arranged in a rectangle, except on a single display. Display Port 1.2 paves the way for 120Hz 3D displays with resolutions up to 2560x1600, as well. Higher resolutions are only part of the story. Users should also be able to enjoy higher color depths, and a single Display Port 1.2 connector can drive two 2560x1600 monitors or four 1920x1200 monitors simultaneously. On top of that, the new standard provides an auxiliary channel with 720Mbps of bandwidth, which can double as a USB 2.0 or Ethernet connection. No need for a separate cable to hook up a display's webcam or built-in USB hub, at least in theory."

"text": "\"As many of you know, I’m rocking a 13″ Retina Mac Book Pro, and I love it. The screen is killer, it’s fairly fast, and it’s portable. But as I begin to take on more “intense” projects, I’m starting to realize that I simply don’t have enough screen real estate to be the most productive I can be. I need an external monitor. The problem is, and if you’re a current Retina Mac Book owner you’ve no doubt faced a similar conundrum, most of the popular external displays pale in comparison to the Retina display. Even Apple’s mighty Thunderbolt Display, with its 27″ screen and 2560×1440 native resolution, looks downright grainy when placed side-by-side with the Retina screen of a Mac Book Pro. So what to do? You could hold off until Apple finally decides it wants to get with the program and offer a Retina capable Thunderbolt Display, or…or…or! You could get a ultra-HD 4K capable monitor right now and enjoy a “Retina” experience. That’s exactly what I decided to do."

But what about the best monitor for photo editing? Well, professionals and photographers, who are concerned about translating what is shown on the screen to a photo book or print, with correct color reproduction will certainly have their own wants and priorities from an LCD. Now, before buying one, there are certain things to consider, which are:1. Color Gamut If you are working on a 14/16-bit RAW image file, you will certainly want to have a display that shows you those subtleties contained in every picture you capture. Hence, a digital connection like Thunderbolt, DVI, or Display Port, is necessary as well. In short, look for a monitor with an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel and 8-bit LUT (Lookup t Table), as these things will pull pictures from a palate of about 16.7 million colors.2. Integrated Calibration Tools Monitors can ship with some calibration tools bundled in. In fact, few displays even have internal systems, which place the calibration sensors right in the display. Though most monitors are shipped with a colorimeter (external) to adjust it, when joined with an individual ICC profile for your paper and printer type, you can make use of soft proofing tools such as “Adobe Lightroom” to check how your prints actually look like on the display and paper.3."

With the emergence of a new generation of interfaces, growing numbers of LCD monitors feature multiple and different interfaces. Image quality and ease of use are likely to depend on how well the user knows and uses the unique characteristics of each interface when connecting the appropriate devices.

"text": "\"Vexillology History of Mexico Culture of Mexico National Flags Mexico Countries of the World What colors are in the Mexican flag and what does the flag mean?6 Answers Saran Udayakumar Answered Dec 28, 2015 · Author has 1.1k answers and 26m answer views The flag of Mexico is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the center of the white stripe. The coat of arms has an eagle, holding a serpent in its beak and talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus growing out of rocks in the middle of a lake. A wreath of oak and laurel tied with a ribbon in the national green-white-red colours is below the eagle. The flag's width to length ratio is 4:7. Meaning Mexico's flag as it is today was adopted in 1968, though a very similar flag had been in use since 1821. Originally the green represented independence, white represented religion and red the union of Americans and Europeans, but during the secularization of the country under President Benito Juarez (president of Mexico from 1858 to 1872) the meanings of the colors were adapted to represent hope (green), unity (white) and the blood of the national heroes (red). The History Of The Mexican Flag The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica (\"\"meh-shee-ka\"\"), were a nomadic people traveling from the north of the country. Their leader was informed in a dream by the god of war, Huitzilopochtli, that they were to settle in the place where they would find an eagle on a prickly pear cactus holding a serpent. The place where they saw this sight was quite inhospitable - a swampy area in the center of three lakes, but this is where they settled and built the great city of Tenochtitlan. Protocol When the Mexican flag is displayed, Mexicans stand at attention with their right arm placed in a salute over their chests with the palm facing downward."

Poland, like the Near East is located at a crossroads of the east and west, and because of this has experienced waves of invasion from Asia in the east and Europe in the west, and through it all the Poles have survived again and again.

Internal in-fighting destroyed the kingdom in the 13th Century, but the slow process of rebuilding that took place in the 1300s laid the base for a new and powerful Kingdom of Poland. Beginning with the Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogaila, the Jagiellon dynasty (1385–1569) formed the Polish-Lithuanian partnership that proved beneficial for the Poles and Lithuanians, who co-existed and cooperated to form one of the most powerful states in Europe for the next three centuries. However, the Nihil Novi Act adopted by the Polish Sejm (parliament) in 1505, transferred most of the legislative power from the monarch to the Sejm. This marked the beginning of the period known as the \"\"Golden Liberty,\"\" when the state was ruled by the \"\"free and equal\"\" Polish nobility. Of course, little attention was paid to the wishes of the common people. The Union of Lublin of 1569 formally established the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which became an influential power in Europe and helped to spread Western Culture eastwards.

It also should be noted that some of the flags on this page can't be considered either \"\"protest\"\" or \"\"message\"\" flags, they are rather \"\"aspiration\"\" flags. By this it is meant that it is the manner in which they are used that determines what they are. For example, a peace flag reflects an aspiration and it only becomes a protest flag when used that way, otherwise, it remains just a peace flag. The UNIA Flag UNIA Flag Variant #1 UNIA Flag Variant #2Black Liberation Flag 1920The Black Liberation Flag, also known as the Afro-American Flag, Pan-African Flag, and the UNIA Flag, is a symbol of African and African-American unity and pride. In the 1960s this flag became a symbol of Black liberation in the United States. This design was first adopted in 1920 as the official banner of the African Race at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) held in New York City. Popularly known today as the Garvey flag, named after Marcus Garvey, it was originally known simply as the \"\"Red-Black-Green\"\" flag. This flag uses what is known as the pan-African colors (red, black and green). The red represents the blood shed in the struggle for liberation."

"text": "A San Diego State biologist has helped identify one of the world’s smallest reptiles — a leaf chameleon that inhabits an islet off the northern coast of Madagascar. Adult Brookesia micra chameleons measure less than 30 millimeters from nose to tail (just over an inch) and juveniles can rest on the head of a match. Their more common bretheren can grow larger than 12 inches and — unlike the micra — change colors. Discoveries of miniature or oversized species tend to capture the popular imagination, and this case is no different. The micra has made news around the world since details about it were published this month in the journal PLo S ONE because it’s comparable to or smaller than the tiniest bats, shrews and hummingbirds. “It’s a great kind of feeling to discover something that nobody has known before,” said Ted Townsend, who performed DNA tests for a German scientist whom he’d met years ago during graduate school field work in Madagascar. Townsend works as a veterinarian in Chula Vista and doubles as an adjunct professor of evolutionary biology at SDSU.“Although these small, drab and cryptic species are not what come to mind when most people think of typical chameleons … they may in fact more closely resemble the ancestral proto-chameleon than the larger and often brilliantly colored species so familiar to us all,” he said. Despite their newfound fame, the future isn’t necessarily bright for Madagascar’s miniature leaf chameleons. Some of the species are only known to range over a few square miles, making them highly vulnerable to habitat loss. Townsend’s German colleagues searched for Madagascar’s undiscovered chameleons in the dark, a particularly difficult task given the size of their prey."

The three colours purportedly came from the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which depict Saint George wearing white (silver) armor, riding a white horse, wearing a blue cape and holding a blue shield, on a red field. According to another version, these three colours were associated with the robes of the Virgin Mary, the holy protectress of Russia. Yet another interpretation of the three colours is that the order that they are placed in reflected the Russian social system under the monarchy: white represents God, blue the Tsar and red the peasants. Another very common interpretation is the association of colours with the main parts of the Russian Empire: white thus represents Belarus (\"\"White Russia\"\"), blue Ukraine (or Malorossia, \"\"Little Russia\"\"), and red \"\"Great Russia\"\".54 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

We think about how it’ll influence color palettes for design, fashion, and big events like weddings. This year, instead of just picking one color for the year, Pantone picked two: rose quartz and serenity. These colors are soft, much like the colors of many spring flowers. They channel mindfulness, wellbeing, and relaxation. Pantone also incorporated these colors into their Spring 2016 Fashion Color Report, which blends ten colors, both subtle and vivid, to create a contrasting yet balanced color palette. This palette inspired us to pair spring flowers with spring colors to create floral mood boards. Soft pink tulips pair perfectly with peach echo, for example. Use the mood boards below to help inspire you this season whether you’re planting spring flowers, decorating, or anything in between!Rose Quartz“Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet gentle tone…conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted spring and summer months."

"text": "\"Pink Color Meaning – The Color Pink The color pink represents caring, compassion and love. The pink color stands for unconditional love and understanding, and is associated with giving and receiving care. Since pink is a combination of red and white, both colors add a little to its characteristics. It gets the lust for action from the red color, and the white color gives it an opportunity to achieve success and insight. Passion and power from the color red, softened with the purity and openness of the white color completes pink color meaning. The deeper the pink color, the more passion and energy it radiates. Pink is romantic and intimate, feminine, loving, caring and extremely considerate. It tones down the physical passion from the red color and replaces it with a gentle and loving energy. The color pink is insightful and intuitive and it shows tenderness and kindness from its empathetic and sensitive nature. In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope."

And may not even be rose seed. Besides that roses do not grow true to variety from seed. So even if you had rose seeds from a \"\"black\"\" rose (which actually will be a very dark red) the plants that grow from them might be any color depending on the parents of the rose the seeds came from. There is no way to know what color until they bloom. Most rose seeds need a cold stratification before they will germinate. To do this you have to take the seeds out of the hips, clean them and wrap the seeds in a damp paper towel, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator for about 6 to 8 weeks. Then either start checking them for germinations and plant as they germinate or plant them all and wait for them to germinate. Without this cold period they may never germinate at all or may take months to do so. If you do a search on here you should find many threads that explain how to do this in detail.1 Like Save March 13, 2014 at 3:25PMhirdepal_singh (10a & 10b)I tried that way also kept them in refrigrator for 5-6 weeks and i did that thrice ,, but nothing came up .. i hope i won`t be able to c a black rose in my garden,,, over here people grow roses from there bushes and when i talk about seeds they laugh at me because no one ever had grown roses from seeds so iether i need a bush of black rose ,, or i have to quit ,, if you can help me to send a black rose bush i am even ready to pay for that ,, Regards,,,Hirde (heart) i can upload the pictures of seeds i have Like Save March 14, 2014 at 5:18AMseil zone 6b MIAll new varieties of roses are grown from seeds."

This step by step tutorial only concentrate on drawing the rose itself, not the whole flower with stem, leaves and barbs. I will soon create another guide to show you how to draw roses in general, which will deal with common shapes found in rose flowers. For now, let's enjoy the detailed explanation to help you create a well executed, beautiful and romantic drawing of a rose. How to Draw a Rose Sketch Step 1: Begin by establishing the flower outline frame for your rose drawing. This is very easy to do, simply quickly draw a shape that looks like circle, but not too smoothly circular, as we want our rose flower to look natural and organic. So be brave to give it some definition my actually straightening a bit here and there. Then move onto rosebud outline - a roughly drawn cylinder that has top surface look like simplified version of heart-shape. Step 2: Start working on rosebud details. As you see, I started to sketch from the very center and then worked it further."

"text": "What Do the Colors of the French Flag Represent? Read This to Know The French flag has three vertical bands starting with blue on the hoist side followed by white and red. The blue color represents duty and care for the poor, white stands for peace, while the red symbolizes bravery and strength. The French flag which is known as Le (Drapeau)Tricolore in French, is referred to as the French Tricolor or just Tricolor in English. It is one of the three official symbols of France. It was first used in 1789, during the French Revolution, and since 1794, it has officially been the flag of France. However, the Tricolor ceased to be the French flag from 1814-1830 when the Bourbon Dynasty was restored as the French monarchy following Napoleon's defeat in the Battle of Waterloo. The tricolor was again adopted as the national flag in 1830 after a revolution overthrew the Bourbons in 1830. Colors of the French Flag History The French Flag has its origin in the rosette, created during the French Revolution. The red and blue color have traditionally been the colors of Paris, since the mid-14th century when it was used by Etienne Marcel who revolted against the King of France and Dauphin."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Other - Politics & Government What's the meaning of Canada's flag and its colours?2 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In 1921, King George V proclaimed the official colours of Canada as red, from the Saint George's Cross, and white, from the French royal emblem since King Charles VII. As early as 1700, the maple leaf began to serve as a symbol celebrating Canada's nature and environment. The maple leaf on the flag is a sugar maple leaf. Sugar maples are native to Canada and have brilliant fall foliage. The number of points on the leaf has no significance; they do not, for instance, represent the ten provinces plus the federal government. In fact, some of the very first Canadian flags made had maple leaves of 15 points: the lower single points were tripled like the top three. By a figure-ground reversal of the white square and the maple leaf, the two upper corners of the square can be seen as silhouettes of two angry faces arguing. This has often been considered evocative of the nature of Canadian federalism, but was wholly unintentional. In Canadian Culture, various patriotic comic book Canadian superheroes use the Maple Leaf Flag as the basis for their costumes, much as Captain America's costume is based on the Stars and Stripes flag. Hence, these characters' costumes are typically red and white with a red maple leaf as their symbol."

The Antarctic Treaty Organization adopted a flag in 2002 and is used as an unofficial symbol of the continent. Also, several unofficial designs have been proposed. Antigua and Barbuda red, with an inverted isosceles triangle based on the top edge of the flag; the triangle contains three horizontal bands of black (top), light blue, and white, with a yellow rising sun in the black band; the sun symbolizes the dawn of a new era, black represents the African heritage of most of the population, blue is for hope, and red is for the dynamism of the people; the \"\"V\"\" stands for victory; the successive yellow, blue, and white coloring is also meant to evoke the country's tourist attractions of sun, sea, and sand Argentina Three equal horizontal bands of light blue (top), white, and light blue; centered in the white band is a radiant yellow sun with a human face known as the Sun of May; There are multiple interpretations on the reasons for those colors: the blue colors represent the clear skies; the sun symbol commemorates the appearance of the sun through cloudy skies on 25 May 1810 during the first mass demonstration in favor of independence; the sun features are those of Inti, the Inca god of the sun."

The French tricolor was officially adopted on February 15, 1794. The French flag was designed by Jacques-Louis David. The naval ensign of France is the same tricolor but with a different aspect ratio. French Flag Evolution: The French flag dates back to the days of the French Revolution. Prior to the revolution, France had traditionally been represented by a plain white flag - a sign of purity and strength. Members of the Parisian militia that stormed the Bastille on July 14, 1789 had worn blue and red cockades on their hats.

The coat of arms features a palm tree, topped with the Phyrgian cap, a symbol of liberty, and surrounded by six Haitian flags. The tree is flanked by cannons, and between them are several objects, including a drum and bugles, and a broken chain. Across the bottom of the coat of arms is a banner that reads “L’Union Fait La Force,” which means “Unity is Strength. ”The colors of the Haitian flag reflect Haiti’s status as a former French colony, using the red and blue from the French flag. The story behind this resemblance is that the revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines created the flag from the French flag, removing the white center and rotating the stripes, the blue and red left to represent Haitians, symbolically removing any remnants of white influence. The blue represented the former slaves and the red represented the mulatto population, who are people of mixed black and white ancestry. The flag first came into use in 1806, and was made official by the national constitution on February 25, 2012. Haiti National Anthem: La Dessalinienne is the national anthem of Haiti, honoring Jean-Jacques Dessalines."

[ 2] The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Germany in 1919, during the short-lived Weimar Republic to 1933. Germany has two competing traditions of national colours, black-red-gold and black-white-red, which have played an important role in the modern history of Germany. The black-red-gold tricolour's first appearance anywhere in a German-ethnicity sovereign state within what today comprises Germany occurred in 1778, and achieved prominence during the 1848 Revolutions. The short-lived Frankfurt Parliament of 1848–1850 proposed the tricolour as a flag for a united and democratic German state under a constitutional monarchy. With the formation of the short-lived Weimar Republic after World War I, the tricolour was adopted as the national flag of Germany. Sixteen years later following World War II, the tricolour was again designated as the flag of both West and East Germany divided states in 1949. The two flags were identical until 1959, when the East German flag was augmented with the coat of arms of East Germany. Since reunification on 3 October 1990, the black-red-gold tricolour has become the flag of a reunified Federal Republic of Germany."

"text": "\"The Official Pledge of Allegiance Salute Used to be a ‘Hitler Salute’Share this:… Yes, that title is correct. Read on, intrepid history-seekers. The pledge of allegiance was originally written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a socialist magazine writer. When he wrote it for an children’s magazine, he also described a salute that he thought would be appropriate during its recital. The pledge was aimed towards children, and the magazine also gave free flags away to schools, where the pledge was originally recited. The salute they were taught to give, with one stiff arm outstretched toward the flag, was deemed the “ Bellamy salute ” after its creator (who had gotten the idea from a salute that the Romans had done). Above: The Bellamy Salute, before WWII In the early 1940s, it was noticed that the salute bore a resemblance to a certain other salute being used in Germany at the time (which was based off of the same original Roman salute ). As a result, it was formally replaced by Congress with the now-customary hand-on-heart during the pledge. Below are three photographs showing the old salute, now in the Library of Congress, which were taken in May 1942 in Southington, Connecticut, just one month before the new salute became official. These photographs were taken by Charles Fenno Jacobs, a photojournalist who was at the time employed by the US government."

The multicultural symbolism of the rainbow is nothing new -- Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition also embraces the rainbow as a symbol of that political movement. The rainbow also plays a part in many myths and stories related to gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Native American, African, and other cultures. Use of the rainbow flag by the gay community began in 1978 when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and black civil rights groups, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year. Baker and thirty volunteers hand-stitched and hand-dyed two huge prototype flags for the parade. The flags had eight stripes, each color representing a component of the community: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. The next year Baker approached San Francisco Paramount Flag Company to mass-produce rainbow flags for the 1979 parade. Due to production constraints -- such as the fact that hot pink was not a commercially-available color -- pink and turquoise were removed from the design, and royal blue replaced indigo."

Blue and yellow flags are predominately used to represent nations, but appear across a number of other fields, too. Several national flags involve the colors blue and yellow; the majority are made up of only these two colors, while some blue and yellow flags also contain a third, very minor color, for example in the form of a star or similar emblem. Europe European flags that are blue and yellow in color include the national flag of the Ukraine, which features two horizontal stripes, with the top being a light blue and the other a yellow in color. The current flag has been used since 1992, although the Ukraine’s two national colors stem from the heraldry of the city of Lviv, and blue and yellow have been the colors of the Ukraine’s national flag since 1918.

From this point forward, the term deutsch was employed to mark a difference in speech, which corresponded to political, geographic, and social distinctions as well. Since, however, the Frankish and Saxon kings of the early Middle Ages sought to characterize themselves as emperors of Rome, it does not seem valid to infer an incipient form of national consciousness. By the fifteenth century, the designation Heiliges Römisches Reich ,or \"\"Holy Roman Empire,\"\" was supplemented with the qualifying phrase der deutschen Nation , meaning \"\"of the German Nation.\"\" Still, it is important to note that, at that point in history, the phrase \"\"German nation\"\" referred only to the Estates of the Empire— dukes, counts, archbishops, electoral princes, and imperial cities—that were represented in the Imperial Diet. Nevertheless, this self-designation indicates the desire of the members of the Imperial Estates to distinguish themselves from the curia in Rome, with which they were embroiled in a number of political and financial conflicts. The area that became known as Deutschland, or Germany, had been nominally under the rule of the German king—who was usually also the Roman emperor—since the tenth century."

Blue and yellow flags are predominately used to represent nations, but appear across a number of other fields, too. Several national flags involve the colors blue and yellow; the majority are made up of only these two colors, while some blue and yellow flags also contain a third, very minor color, for example in the form of a star or similar emblem. Europe European flags that are blue and yellow in color include the national flag of the Ukraine, which features two horizontal stripes, with the top being a light blue and the other a yellow in color. The current flag has been used since 1992, although the Ukraine’s two national colors stem from the heraldry of the city of Lviv, and blue and yellow have been the colors of the Ukraine’s national flag since 1918. Sweden’s flag features a blue background and a yellow Scandinavian cross, with the colors originating from the Swedish national arms. The Swedish flag was adopted in 1906.

"text": "\"Home History of Mexico The Mexican Flag The Mexican Flag From the beginning of Mexican history, the people living in the central parts of Mexico used different emblems to represent themselves and their neighbours. The Mexican flag experienced many changes until finally, in 1821, the Mexican flag was declared a unique national symbol by a Constitutional Congress. Its overall design was based on a decree that specified the Mexican flag size and colors, and established that the symbol on the center of the flag had to be an eagle. Mexican Flag History Mexico adopted the current design of its national flag on September 16, 1968. However, since the nation obtained independence from Spain in 1821 and established a constitutional government, the flag has relied upon the same colors and general appearance (only various details of the national Coat of Arms displayed on the flag have changed). © Martin D - Flag of Mexico The modern Mexican flag celebrates a tradition of unity between Spanish immigrants and the approximately 700 indigenous Native American peoples who resided in Mexico at the time the Spanish Conquest began in 1517. The people of Mexico united to obtain freedom from colonial rule during the early 1800s. At the conclusion of fighting, Augustin de Iturbide, a royalist, joined with a revolutionary, Vincente Ramon Geurrero, in adopting a new flag for Mexico on February 24, 1821. Jose Magdaleno Ocampo designed this \"\"Flag of the Three Guarantees\"\". It contained three slanted stripes in white, green and red, with a gold star displayed in each field."

There are today many variations manufactured of this royal standard, one of which is shown here. Cross of Burgundy Cross of Burgundy Flag 1506-1843The Cross of Burgundy Flag, introduced in the reign of Charles I of Spain (Holy Roman Emperor Charles V), was used by Spain between 1506-1701 as a naval ensign, and until 1843 as a land military flag. It was the flag carried by most of the Conquistadors in their exploration and conquest of the New World during this period of time. It represents the cross on which Saint Andrew was crucified.

The coat of arms has an eagle, holding a serpent in its beak and talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus growing out of rocks in the middle of a lake. A wreath of oak and laurel tied with a ribbon in the national green-white-red colours is below the eagle. The flag's width to length ratio is 4:7. Meaning Mexico's flag as it is today was adopted in 1968, though a very similar flag had been in use since 1821. Originally the green represented independence, white represented religion and red the union of Americans and Europeans, but during the secularization of the country under President Benito Juarez (president of Mexico from 1858 to 1872) the meanings of the colors were adapted to represent hope (green), unity (white) and the blood of the national heroes (red). The History Of The Mexican Flag The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica (\"\"meh-shee-ka\"\"), were a nomadic people traveling from the north of the country. Their leader was informed in a dream by the god of war, Huitzilopochtli, that they were to settle in the place where they would find an eagle on a prickly pear cactus holding a serpent. The place where they saw this sight was quite inhospitable - a swampy area in the center of three lakes, but this is where they settled and built the great city of Tenochtitlan. Protocol When the Mexican flag is displayed, Mexicans stand at attention with their right arm placed in a salute over their chests with the palm facing downward."

The tricolored flag of Mexico History Of The Mexican Flag Traditionally, different communities throughout Mexico used flags to represent their people and cultures. One legend suggests that some of the first flags displayed were by the Aztec culture whose principal god had told them to build a new city where they found an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its mouth. This image went on to become central to several versions of the Mexican flag, including the current one. The practice of a different flag for different communities continued well into the War of Independence. During this war, each militia carried its flag, many of which displayed the Catholic image of the Virgin Mary. One of these rebel flags depicted the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe and became famous after the Battle of the Grito de Dolores in September of 1810. Another held the Virgin Mary and the image of a crowned eagle sitting atop a cactus. The Revolutionary Army utilized red, white, and blue vertical stripes."

It had a white, green, and red field that ran diagonally across the flag. In each field was a star. This flag is often referred to as \"\"La Bandera de los Tres Garantias\"\" or the Flag of the Three Guarantees.

But the colors, symbols, and designs of the flags hold much more information about the people and cultures they represent. People may be able to distinguish and recognize numerous flags- but how many times do we really have insights into their background? My husband shared this fascinating legend behind the Mexican flag with my kids and me. About 700 years ago (in the year 1325), the Aztecs lived in the arid desert in what is now northern Mexico. They were looking for the ideal place to build their new city. In the legend, the Aztec god Huizilopochtli (we-see-low-PōCH-tlee) told the Aztecs to build their city where they find an eagle, carrying a snake, that lands on a nopal (cactus). As was predicted in the ancient prophecy, they spotted the eagle with a snake in its beak, on a cactus- in a huge swampy area. Despite the challenging conditions, they built their city, Tenochtitlán on a small swampy island in Lake Texcoco. It was this area that eventually became Mexico City."

While nobody is absolutely certain who made the first official flag, historians do know that during the Revolutionary War, different militias fought under different flags. These first flags ranged from a rattlesnake with the slogan, “Don’t Tread on Me,” to a pine tree with the phrase, “An Appeal to Heaven.” The idea of a national flag did not become an issue until Congress created the Continental Army in June of 1775 and George Washington flew the Continental Colors flag. The Continental Colors flag is believed to have had red and white stripes with the British Union Jack symbol, from the British national flag, in the upper left corner. Who Created The American Flag? Perhaps George Washington or Congress realized that flying a British symbol while seeking independence from England was not the best way to unite the newly forming country. In 1777, Congress passed the first Flag Resolution."

The flag colors are the same colors of the national liberation army in Mexico. Visual Description The Mexican flag is a rectangle with three vertical stripes: green, white and red from left to right. The stripes are of equal width. In the center of the flag is a design of an eagle, perched on a cactus, eating a snake. The cactus in on an island in a lake, and beneath is a garland of green leaves and a red, white and green ribbon. Without the coat of arms, the Mexican flag looks like the Italian flag, with the same colors in the same order, although the Mexican flag is longer and the colors are a darker shade. History of the Flag The national liberation army, known as the Army of the Three Guarantees, officially formed after the struggle for independence.

While the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Mexico following independence from Spain during the country's War of Independence, and subsequent First Mexican Empire. The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968, but the overall design has been used since 1821, when the First National Flag was created. Red, white, and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico. The central emblem is the Mexican coat of arms, based on the Aztec symbol for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City ), the center of the Aztec empire. It recalls the legend of an eagle sitting on a cactus while devouring a serpent that signaled to the Aztecs where to found their city, Tenochtitlan. [ 1] A ribbon in the national colors is at the bottom of the coat of arms. Throughout history, the flag has changed several times, as the design of the coat of arms and the length-width ratios of the flag have been modified. However, the coat of arms has had the same features throughout: an eagle, holding a serpent in its talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus; the cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake."

According to Wikipedia: While there are several theories as to the origin and reason for the choice of white, blue and red for the colours, none is currently accepted as universally correct. There is no official meaning assigned to the colours in Russian laws. The three colours purportedly came from the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which depict Saint George wearing white (silver) armor, riding a white horse, wearing a blue cape and holding a blue shield, on a red field. According to another version, these three colours were associated with the robes of the Virgin Mary, the holy protectress of Russia. Yet another interpretation of the three colours is that the order that they are placed in reflected the Russian social system under the monarchy: white represents God, blue the Tsar and red the peasants. Another very common interpretation is the association of colours with the main parts of the Russian Empire: white thus represents Belarus (\"\"White Russia\"\"), blue Ukraine (or Malorossia, \"\"Little Russia\"\"), and red \"\"Great Russia\"\".54 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational “terrorists” who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel.

There are five Olympic rings in five colours (plus the white background) and they look like this: It's generally known that the five interlocking rings represent the five continents of the world (the Americas are considered as one, North and South, along with Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia). It is less well known that the colours were introduced by father of the modern Olympic Games himself, Pierre de Coubertin, in 1912 to represent each and every colour that appeared on the flags of the Olympic's competing nations at that time. It was his desire to combine the colours - including the white background - with the symbolic 'interlocking' to create \"\"truly an international symbol\"\". The colours don't adhere directly to any particular continent as you might think. Does that still hold today? Well, not quite. Even if you forgive different shades of blue and try to lump orange and yellow together, you still have countries like Bhutan whose orange and yellow flag (and cracking dragon - Druk) wouldn't be represented. Still, it's an abiding symbol built around the very idea the Games were founded on, so I think we can forgive that.

"text": "Living with terror, not Living in Terror: The Impact of Chronic Terrorism on Israeli Societyby Dov Waxman Abstract This article discusses the impact of chronic terrorism on a targeted society by examining the case of Israeli society during the second Intifada. The Israeli case demonstrates both the extensive effects of repeated terrorist attacks and their limitations. The article argues that while Israelis were seriously affected by Palestinian terrorist attacks during the second Intifada, this did not result in major, lasting changes in Israeli behaviour. Despite being profoundly affected by terrorism, Israeli society was not demoralized by it, and in this respect Palestinian terrorism failed to achieve its aim. This is because the Israeli public grew accustomed to chronic terrorism and possessed a high level of social resilience. Introduction At a time when terrorist attacks and thwarted plots regularly dominate the news headlines, when long queues at airport security checks have become all-too-common, and when once innocuous items (drinks, shoes, backpacks) can become the means of deadly attacks, it is clear that the threat of terrorism hangs over us as never before. [ 1] Terrorism is currently at the top of the national security agenda in the United States and in many other countries around the world. Indeed, terrorism is widely considered to be the greatest security challenge of our time. Many societies around the world are now faced with the prospect of endemic terrorism on their own soil. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attack in the United States; the March 11, 2004, terrorist attack in Spain; and the July 7, 2005, terrorist attack in Britain these are all unlikely to be one-off events."

The efforts by the American rightwing nuts and fascists to criminalize the burning of the American flag once again flagged in the Congress and so this quintessentially American form of protest lives on everywhere!From Cairo to the Philippines, no one could care less about American sensitivity when throngs of ugly-ass jihadists from one end of the world to the other set fire to Old Glory and/or the Star of David for a few moments of pyromaniacal joy and free expression of rage. Ironically, if this form of expression ever involved their own national flag they would be taken to the shed and flogged!The summer began with the prominence of the Palestinian flag waving and filling the void left by the retreating Israeli force from Gaza a year earlier, only for the Star of David to come rushing back into Gaza at the sign of slightest Hamas mischief. The yellow Hezbollah banner flew high and proud in the face of the Israeli standard of aggression in southern Lebanon (and among sympathizers in Iraq, Iran, Syria and elsewhere), eclipsing the hoity-toity good-for-nothing national Lebanese flag. Sorry, it is not a good-for-nothing flag; it is still a tourism symbol of sorts pointing the way to some of the best beaches on the Mediterranean!The Iraqi flag, too, flew high and mighty – but with little purpose. I do not understand why does the Bush Administration think that it can promote democracy in the Middle East and still support the “God is Great” logo on the Iraqi flag. Why does America tolerate the inscription on the Saudi flag? I feel like saying, “Yo, Hajji, Mighty Mouse, Mr. Bush, in case you did not know, one way to promote democracy in Iraq is through secular nationalism. No secular nationalism, no democracy."

If one follows the cable news networks, it seems as if all terrorists are Muslims. It has even become axiomatic in some circles to chant: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.” Muslims and their “leftist dhimmi allies” respond feebly, mentioning Waco as the one counter example, unwittingly affirming the belief that “nearly all terrorists are Muslims. ”But perception is not reality.

( photo credit: Wikimedia Commons)Reports that Spain had passed legislation granting citizenship to Sephardic Jews residing anywhere in the world were premature, representatives of the Spanish Jewish community told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. It was reported on Friday that the Spanish government had approved a law allowing descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from the country in 1492 to seek Spanish nationality without giving up their current citizenship. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. “ The law we’ve passed today has a deep historic meaning: not only because it concerns events in our past of which we should not be proud, like the decree to expel the Jews in 1492, but because it reflects the reality of Spain as an open and plural society,” Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon was reported as saying. The minister also asserted that his nation owned the Sephardic community a debt for spreading the Spanish language and culture around the world. The word Sephardic comes from Sefarad, Hebrew for Spain. However, Friday saw not the passage of a new law but rather the approval of a draft bill that the government hopes to see passed by the legislature."

"text": "\"Vexillology History of Mexico Culture of Mexico National Flags Mexico Countries of the World What colors are in the Mexican flag and what does the flag mean?6 Answers Saran Udayakumar Answered Dec 28, 2015 · Author has 1.1k answers and 26m answer views The flag of Mexico is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the center of the white stripe. The coat of arms has an eagle, holding a serpent in its beak and talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus growing out of rocks in the middle of a lake. A wreath of oak and laurel tied with a ribbon in the national green-white-red colours is below the eagle. The flag's width to length ratio is 4:7. Meaning Mexico's flag as it is today was adopted in 1968, though a very similar flag had been in use since 1821. Originally the green represented independence, white represented religion and red the union of Americans and Europeans, but during the secularization of the country under President Benito Juarez (president of Mexico from 1858 to 1872) the meanings of the colors were adapted to represent hope (green), unity (white) and the blood of the national heroes (red). The History Of The Mexican Flag The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica (\"\"meh-shee-ka\"\"), were a nomadic people traveling from the north of the country. Their leader was informed in a dream by the god of war, Huitzilopochtli, that they were to settle in the place where they would find an eagle on a prickly pear cactus holding a serpent. The place where they saw this sight was quite inhospitable - a swampy area in the center of three lakes, but this is where they settled and built the great city of Tenochtitlan. Protocol When the Mexican flag is displayed, Mexicans stand at attention with their right arm placed in a salute over their chests with the palm facing downward."

British civil administration in Palestine operated from 1920 until 1948. During its existence the territory was known simply as Palestine, but, in later years, a variety of other names and descriptors have been used, including Mandatory or Mandate Palestine, the British Mandate of Palestine and British Palestine. During the First World War (1914–18), an Arab uprising and the British Empire 's Egyptian Expeditionary Force under General Edmund Allenby drove the Turks out of the Levant during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. [ 2] The United Kingdom had agreed in the Mc Mahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence if they revolted against the Ottomans, but the two sides had different interpretations of this agreement, and in the end the UK and France divided up the area under the Sykes–Picot Agreement —an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Further complicating the issue was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, promising British support for a Jewish \"\"national home\"\" in Palestine. At the war's end the British and French set up a joint \"\" Occupied Enemy Territory Administration \"\" in what had been Ottoman Syria. The British achieved legitimacy for their continued control by obtaining a mandate from the League of Nations in June 1922. The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate system was to administer parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, \"\"until such time as they are able to stand alone.\"\" ["

Aliyya Swaby investigates how this tiny Central American country came to rule the waves. Thanks to its location and slender shape, Panama enjoys a position as the guardian of one of the world's most important marine trade routes, which connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. For a hundred years the Panama Canal has provided a short cut for ships wishing to avoid the more hazardous route via Cape Horn. Panama Direct Dubbed one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the 77km (48-mile) canal is a feat of engineering that handles 14,000 ships every year along its intricate lock system. Many of these vessels fly the Panamanian flag yet the country itself has a limited history of trade. Panama only has one small shipping line as well as a number of companies providing supplementary maritime services around the ports and canal. Cheaper foreign labour Most merchant ships flying Panama's flag belong to foreign owners wishing to avoid the stricter marine regulations imposed by their own countries. Panama operates what is known as an open registry. Its flag offers the advantages of easier registration (often online) and the ability to employ cheaper foreign labour."

Spain had co ntemplated building a canal across the isthmus as early as 1814, but the Spanish imperial power collapsed at about that time and the construc tion was never begun. Both the United States and Britain expressed inter est in a canal either across the isthmus , or through Nicaragua. In 1878 a French company attempted to build a canal across the isthmus, but beset by graft, tropical diseases, and engineering problems the enterprise went twice bankrupt and finally collapsed in 1887. Nicaragua begun the same year by American entrepreneurs went bankrupt three years later The river canal through The Spooner Act of 1902 authorized the United States to negotiate with Colombia for a canal route, and if the negotiations with Colombia failed to negotiate with Nicaragua o btain perpetual control of the necessary territory.

"text": "\"Veterans May Now Salute the Flag U. S. Veterans May Now Salute Old Glory U. S. veterans may now salute the flag, thanks to the efforts of U. S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.). Inhofe's Senate Bill 1877 passed by unanimous consent, clarifying U. S. law to allow veterans and servicemen not in uniform to salute the flag. Previous law (US Code Title 4, Chapter 1) states that veterans and servicemen not in uniform should place their hand over their heart without clarifying whether they can or should salute the flag. The new legislation removes the confusion and makes it clear that veterans and service members not in uniform may render the military salute. \"\" The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in one’s military service,\"\" Senator Inhofe said. \"\" Veterans and service members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform. \"\" I look forward to seeing those who have served saluting proudly at baseball games, parades, and formal events. I believe this is an appropriate way to honor and recognize the 25 million veterans in the United States who have served in the military and remain as role models to other citizens. Those who are currently serving or have served in the military have earned this right, and their recognition will be an inspiration to others. \"\" We're pleased to report that provision was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2008, signed by President Bush in January."

In an editorial in his Off The Top column in Drummer 131, written before De Blase's trip to Chicago, but not on the newsstands until afterwards, he explained something of how the idea and design for the flag came about. \"\" The rainbow flag has become the symbol of Gay and Lesbian pride, and I have been proud to wear it on my clothing, march behind it in parades, and hang it from my balcony. I was thrilled by the rainbow-colored balloons used in the opening and closing ceremonies of Gay Games II and the spectacular rainbow of balloons that arched over the main stage at the G&L pride rally here in San Francisco a couple of years ago. \"\"\"\" For the 20th anniversary of Stonewall, I felt that the time was right for the Leather men and women, who have been participating in these same parades and events more and more visibly in recent years, to have a similar, simple, elegant banner that would serve as a symbol of their own identity and interests. I decided that calling a committee meeting to design it would be counterproductive, so I just did it. I consulted with most of the staff here at Drummer, and some of their suggestions were incorporated. I do not expect this design to be the final form, but [rather] the basis from which a widely accepted banner will evolve. \"\"\"\" A prototype was constructed and displayed at the International Mr. Leather Contest in Chicago on May 28.

"text": "\"Where's The Rainbow Pride Flag Emoji? Why The Iconic Gay Rights Symbol Should Be On Our Phones By Gabrielle Moss June 26 2015If you've been on Twitter, Instagram, or anywhere near your phone today, you've surely seen the wave of rainbow and rainbow heart emojis that folks are using to celebrate the historic Supreme Court decision asserting that states can no longer ban same-sex couples from marrying. You probably noticed a wide array of other LGBT emojis being used, too — like same-sex couples holding hands, and families headed by two moms or two dads. But in the course of all this celebratory tweeting, Instagramming and meme-making, there has been one noticeable absence: where's the rainbow pride flag emoji? Apple has made LGBT emojis available for the i Phone since 2012, when they introduced emoji images of female and male same-sex couples. Emojis of families with same-sex parents arrived in early 2015, and an international survey conducted this year found that LGBT emojis are popular, especially in the U. S., where LGBT emojis comprise 0.13 percent of all emojis sent. The same-sex couple emojis have even become gay rights icons in and of themselves among younger people, especially now that Instagram has enabled emoji hashtagging. But while all this is great news, why do emoji-makers seem to have no love for the full-on pride flag? The rainbow pride flag has been one of the most instantly recognizable symbols of the LGBT community for nearly forty years. The flag — designed by Gilbert Baker (at the request of legendary gay rights icon and San Francisco City-County Supervisor Harvey Milk) — debuted on June 25, 1978, as part of the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade."

While the origin of this symbol is ambiguous, theories suggest the colors may represent hetero-, homo-, and bisexuality, or attraction to men, women, and both men and women. The crescent moon symbol is another reference to bisexuality and is rooted in the Nazi movement’s pink triangle designated to homosexuals.) [ 3] [5]Page describes the meaning of the pink, lavender, and blue (ratio 2:1:2) flag [1] as this: \"\"The pink color represents sexual attraction to the same sex only (gay and lesbian). The blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only (straight) and the resultant overlap color purple represents sexual attraction to both sexes (bi).\"\" [ 4] [6]Page describes the flag’s meaning in deeper terms, stating \"\"The key to understanding the symbolism of the Bisexual pride flag is to know that the purple pixels of color blend unnoticeably into both the pink and blue, just as in the 'real world,' where bi people blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities\"\" [3]The flag's aspect is not fixed but 2:3 and 3:5 are often used, in common with many other flags."

Most likely, you think of homosexuality or the wider LGBT movement. Gilbert Baker, the man credited with pioneering the celebratory rainbow flag flying over the gay movement, recently lauded his craft, noting that it’s something beautiful. He answers those who think it’s not, saying, “The rainbow’s in the Bible. It’s a covenant between God and all living creatures.” According to Baker, the God of the Bible knows the struggle of gays and lesbians, and that is where he finds hope. God does indeed know the internal and social battles of gays and lesbians, but the question is, Does he approve of their practice? Would God approve of their use of the rainbow to symbolize this movement? The Supreme Court’s decision on gay “marriage” has made the rainbow symbol ubiquitous."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Does the Red Flag With the Yellow Star Symbolize About the Vietnam War? By Jennifer Spirko The flag of Vietnam was inspired by the nation's early colonial resistance movement. Today’s flag of Vietnam is familiar to veterans of the Vietnam War because it is the same banner that flew over North Vietnamese troops and holdings during that conflict. It features a solid red field with a single gold star, five-pointed, in the center. This flag symbolizes the history of Vietnam’s anti-colonial struggle and its later Communist movement, as well. The Red and the Gold The banner first flew in an uprising against the French in 1940. France had ruled Vietnam as part of its Indochinese colony since the 1880s, but in 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared an independent communist state that, by treaty, constituted the northern portion of the former colony. Although sometimes credited to Ho, the flag was actually designed by Nguyen Huu Tien, another revolutionary, who composed a poem that explained its symbolism. The poem, reproduced in an article published by the Vietnamese embassy to the United States, refers to the Vietnamese resistance fighters’ “red blood” and “yellow skin,” the latter distinguishing them from the colonial occupiers; the five points on the star signify the five classes united in their efforts to overthrow the Europeans: intellectuals, peasants, workers, traders and soldiers. The flag continued to signify these same traits of cultural pride and resistance to non-Asian occupiers during the Vietnam War, when the French and Japanese foes mentioned in the poem had been replaced by, chiefly, Americans."

LGBT symbols communicate ideas, concepts, and identity both within their communities and to mainstream culture. The two most-recognized international LGBT symbols are the pink triangle and the rainbow flag. The pink triangle, employed by the Nazis in World War II as a badge of shame, was re-appropriated but retained negative connotations. The rainbow flag, previously used as a symbol of unity among all people, was adopted to be a more organic and natural replacement without any negativity attached to it.

The multicultural symbolism of the rainbow is nothing new -- Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition also embraces the rainbow as a symbol of that political movement. The rainbow also plays a part in many myths and stories related to gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Native American, African, and other cultures. Use of the rainbow flag by the gay community began in 1978 when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and black civil rights groups, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year. Baker and thirty volunteers hand-stitched and hand-dyed two huge prototype flags for the parade. The flags had eight stripes, each color representing a component of the community: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. The next year Baker approached San Francisco Paramount Flag Company to mass-produce rainbow flags for the 1979 parade. Due to production constraints -- such as the fact that hot pink was not a commercially-available color -- pink and turquoise were removed from the design, and royal blue replaced indigo."

"text": "“A true flag cannot be designed — it has to be torn from the soul of the people.” — Unknown In 1970, a self-described “geeky kid from Kansas” named Gilbert Baker came to San Francisco as an Army draftee. San Francisco has often been compared to Oz, but Baker didn’t want to click his heels and go back to Kansas. After an honorable discharge he stayed in San Francisco, free to pursue his dreams of being an artist. He learned to sew, making all the fabulous 70s clothes that he wanted but couldn’t buy. In 1974, Baker’s life changed forever when he met Harvey Milk, who showed him “how action could create change.” Three years after they met, Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors – making him the first openly gay person to hold a high public office in a major American city. Milk, once known fondly as the Mayor of Castro St., had campaigned on a positive message of hope for young gay people, saying, “The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope.” After winning the election, Milk challenged Gilbert Baker to come up with a symbol of pride for the gay community – a positive alternative to the pink triangle."

I’m sure you’ll be a big hit. No, really. Try it. Modern French Flag: Origins & History The flag of France is made up of three bars of equal dimensions – from left to right (or, more correctly, from the hoist side out) the colors are blue, white, and red. The modern flag was adopted in 1794 incorporating the traditional colors of Paris (red and blue) with the traditional white of the Bourbon family which ruled France from the 1500s to the French Revolution in 1792, and then later for a year in the early 1800s. The tricolor flag became a symbol of the Revolution, and subsequently a symbol of freedom for other countries as well."

"text": "History LGBTHow the Rainbow Flag Became an Icon of LGBT Rights By Julia Zorthian June 25, 2015While the nation awaits a Supreme Court ruling that could establish same-sex marriage as a constitutional right, the rainbow flag — a symbol for LGBT rights, acceptance and pride — is celebrating its anniversary. The Obergefell v. Hodges ruling itself could fall within days of the flag’s exact birthday: June 25 marks the anniversary of the flag’s first appearance, flying over San Francisco’s Gay Freedom Day Parade in 1978. Gilbert Baker, who designed the original rainbow flag in 1978, tells TIME that the possibility of the ruling coinciding with the flag’s birthday is “a little wild.” With Pride Week already under way in New York City as well as the Museum of Modern Art announcing its acquisition of Baker’s design last week, the rainbow flag is already having a busy month. It’s come a long way from the moment 37 years ago when Harvey Milk, the openly gay San Francisco city-county supervisor who would be assassinated just months later, asked Baker to create flags for the city’s parade. The nascent gay-rights movement had no symbol apart from the pink triangle — and few wanted to rally around a Nazi concentration camp badge. Baker says he got the job as he happened to be extremely proficient in sewing, being a drag performer who couldn’t afford to buy the clothes he wanted to wear. He worked with a team of 30 to dye and stitch together the strips of fabric to create the flag in the attic of San Francisco’s Gay Community Center. Making it in the colors of the rainbow, Baker says, was the obvious choice. “ We needed something that expressed us."

It originally had eight stripes, and each color represented a different aspect of humanity and equality: The flag was changed to seven colors, and the pink strip was removed because the fabric color was not available in large enough quantities.

Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way, painted by Emanuel Leutze in 1861-62, is equally appropriate in reflecting the history and meaning of Tennessee. The mural is a quintessential representation of the nation's popular belief summarized in 1845 as \"\"our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allocated by Providence.\"\" It departs from the Capitol's previous grandiose paintings and sculptures depicting European discovery of the \"\"New World\"\" and incorporates no heroic figures of founding fathers or well-draped goddesses brandishing swords of liberty and laurel wreaths of peace. Here, instead, is a searching, exultant scene of Americans fulfilling the rite of passage to claim the great West. Afoot, on horseback, in covered wagons drawn by plodding oxen, these weary and hopeful pioneers have toiled across the plains and up the rugged mountains to reach a pass opening toward California's distant Golden Gate. \"\" Westward Ho! \"\" The popular title for the mural echoes the cry not only of this small band of struggling humanity but of the irresistible multitudes to follow. It might have been voiced by one of the leaders--in coonskin cap--who has reached the top of the pass and whose outstretched arm beckons his companions on toward the horizon. Leutze identified that distinctive and optimistic figure as \"\"a frontiere farmer (Tennesseian). \"\""

"text": "\"A Brief History of the Confederate Flags By David G. Sansing The six southern states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida met February 4, 1861, in convention at Montgomery, Alabama, and established the Confederate States of America. They were soon joined by Texas, and after the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, they were joined by Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Virginia. Missouri and Kentucky were prevented from seceding by the presence of federal troops, but both states sent unofficial representatives to the Confederate Congress and both supplied troops to the Confederate Army. The eleven seceding states, plus Missouri and Kentucky, are represented in the constellation of thirteen stars in the Confederate flag. The other two slave states, Maryland and Delaware, did not secede. 1The first national flag of the Confederate States of America was adopted at the Montgomery convention. After the delegates had established the Confederacy, a special committee was appointed to design a flag and a seal for the new nation. Walker Brooke, a Mississippi delegate, offered a resolution to instruct the committee to design a flag as similar as possible to the American flag, the Stars and Stripes. ( figure 1)Brooke, and several other delegates, praised the Stars and Stripes and some even suggested that the CSA adopt the American flag with no change at all. However, the patriotic fervor that swept through the convention forced Brooke to withdraw his resolution."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Does the Red Flag With the Yellow Star Symbolize About the Vietnam War? By Jennifer Spirko The flag of Vietnam was inspired by the nation's early colonial resistance movement. Today’s flag of Vietnam is familiar to veterans of the Vietnam War because it is the same banner that flew over North Vietnamese troops and holdings during that conflict. It features a solid red field with a single gold star, five-pointed, in the center. This flag symbolizes the history of Vietnam’s anti-colonial struggle and its later Communist movement, as well. The Red and the Gold The banner first flew in an uprising against the French in 1940. France had ruled Vietnam as part of its Indochinese colony since the 1880s, but in 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared an independent communist state that, by treaty, constituted the northern portion of the former colony. Although sometimes credited to Ho, the flag was actually designed by Nguyen Huu Tien, another revolutionary, who composed a poem that explained its symbolism. The poem, reproduced in an article published by the Vietnamese embassy to the United States, refers to the Vietnamese resistance fighters’ “red blood” and “yellow skin,” the latter distinguishing them from the colonial occupiers; the five points on the star signify the five classes united in their efforts to overthrow the Europeans: intellectuals, peasants, workers, traders and soldiers. The flag continued to signify these same traits of cultural pride and resistance to non-Asian occupiers during the Vietnam War, when the French and Japanese foes mentioned in the poem had been replaced by, chiefly, Americans."

Lee The Confederate States Army ( C. S. A.) was the military land force of the Confederate States of America (Confederacy) during the American Civil War (1861-1865). [ 3] On February 28, 1861, the Provisional Confederate Congress established a provisional volunteer army and gave control over military operations and authority for mustering state forces and volunteers to the newly chosen Confederate president, Jefferson Davis. Davis was a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy, and colonel of a volunteer regiment during the Mexican–American War. He had also been a United States Senator from Mississippi and U. S. Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce. On March 1, 1861, on behalf of the Confederate government, Davis assumed control of the military situation at Charleston, South Carolina, where South Carolina state militia besieged Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, held by a small U. S. Army garrison. By March 1861, the Provisional Confederate Congress expanded the provisional forces and established a more permanent Confederate States Army. An accurate count of the total number of individuals who served in the Confederate Army is not possible due to incomplete and destroyed Confederate records; estimates of the number of individual Confederate soldiers are between 750,000 and 1,000,000 men. This does not include an unknown number of slaves who were pressed into performing various tasks for the army, such as construction of fortifications and defenses or driving wagons. [ 4] Since these figures include estimates of the total number of individual soldiers who served at any time during the war, they do not represent the size of the army at any given date. These numbers do not include men who served in Confederate States Navy."

Credit: John Burdumy Moment Getty Images Full Answer The initial design of the United States flag included one stripe and one star for each state in the Union. There were 13 states in 1776. In 1795, the admission of Vermont and Kentucky required an updated design, and for a time, the American flag bore 15 stars and 15 stripes.

As the adoption of the Stars and Stripes is commemorated on Flag Day, find out more about Old Glory’s mysterious origins and its rise to iconic prominence. When the American Revolution broke out in 1775, the colonists didn’t yet unite under a single flag. Instead, they fought mainly under unit or regimental flags, according to Marc Leepson, author of the book “ Flag: An American Biography .” One flag of the time featured a picture of a coiled rattlesnake with the slogan “Don’t Tread on Me,” while another showed a pine tree with the words “An Appeal to Heaven.” “ There really wasn’t anything that was stars and stripes, red, white and blue,” said Mike Buss, a flag expert with the American Legion veterans’ organization. In June 1775, the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, created a united colonial fighting force known as the Continental Army. Some historians claim that George Washington, the army’s commander in chief, ordered that a flag called the Continental Colors be raised the following New Year’s Day during a siege of British-occupied Boston."

However, Tennessee is the only state to have major battles or skirmishes fought in every single county. [ 2] [3] Tennessee was the last of the Southern states to declare secession from the Union as a substantial portion of the population were against secession, but saw more than its share of the devastation resulting from years of warring armies criss-crossing the state. Its rivers were key arteries to the Deep South, and, from the early days of the war, Union efforts focused on securing control of those transportation routes, as well as major roads and mountain passes such as the Cumberland Gap. Tennessee was also considered \"\"the Bread Basket\"\" of the Confederacy, for its rich farmland that fed both armies during the war. A large number of important battles occurred in Tennessee, including the vicious fighting at the Battle of Shiloh, which at the time was the deadliest battle in American history (it was later surpassed by a number of other engagements). Other large battles in Tennessee included Stones River, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Franklin. Tennessee was one of the most divided states in the country at the outset of the war. Before the bombardment of Fort Sumter, Tennessee was actually staunchly pro-Union, though there were still a few secessionist hot beds in the western portion of the state."

Most historians and vexillologists agree that Betsy Ross probably didn't design or sew the first American flag, but for more than a century Americans have accepted the story as history. Betsy Ross' story didn't surface until 34 years after her death, when her only surviving grandson, William J. Canby, presented a paper he wrote to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The paper included stories he had heard from his grandmother (Betsy Ross) and other family members throughout the years. Canby was 11 years old when his grandmother died, but the stories were kept in his family as an oral tradition. Below is a condensed version of the Betsy Ross story, according to Canby's paper: In June of 1776, George Washington, who was a frequent visitor of Betsy Ross' shop in Philadelphia, came to Betsy with a congressional committee comprised of himself, Robert Morris, and Col. George Ross (a relative of Betsy's late husband). The committee appointed Betsy the task of sewing a flag based on a rough drawing by Col. Ross."

Here are all the reasons behind using Red, White, and Blue. The American Flag is symbolic in many ways. The alternating red and whites stripes represent the 13 British colonies that settled in America, while the stars represent each individual state. But what about the colors – why is the American Flag red, white and blue? Various historians have their thoughts on what the colors of the American Flag stand for. Some would argue that the colors on the American Flag represent philosophical values, with red representing blood, war and courage, blue standing for justice and freedom, and white representing purity. However, others speculate even further that George Washington had his own interpretation of Old Glory and her colors: stars were taken from the sky, the red was inspired by the British colors, and the white stripes indicate secession from the home country. However, in regards to the Great Seal of the United States, as the book “Our Flag” published in 1989 by the House of Representatives states, “The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”"

In the middle of the blue stripe and flag there are seven, white, five-pointed stars that are arranged in a semi circle. In the top left hand corner of the Venezuelan flag is the country's coat of arms. Venezuelan Flag Meaning: The Venezuelan flag is based on one flown by independence fighters fighting against Spanish colonial rule. At that time the yellow represented the gold of the Americas, blue stood for the Atlantic Ocean which separated the new Americas from the bloody old world of Europe and Spain which is signified by red. A modern but similar meaning behind the Venezuelan flag states that the yellow represents new opportunities, the red symbolizes Spain, and the blue stands for the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the two. The seven stars represent the seven provinces that existed at the time of Venezuelan independence. Venezuelan Flag History: The Venezuelan flag was adopted on February 19, 1954.

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Does the Red Flag With the Yellow Star Symbolize About the Vietnam War? By Jennifer Spirko The flag of Vietnam was inspired by the nation's early colonial resistance movement. Today’s flag of Vietnam is familiar to veterans of the Vietnam War because it is the same banner that flew over North Vietnamese troops and holdings during that conflict. It features a solid red field with a single gold star, five-pointed, in the center. This flag symbolizes the history of Vietnam’s anti-colonial struggle and its later Communist movement, as well. The Red and the Gold The banner first flew in an uprising against the French in 1940. France had ruled Vietnam as part of its Indochinese colony since the 1880s, but in 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared an independent communist state that, by treaty, constituted the northern portion of the former colony. Although sometimes credited to Ho, the flag was actually designed by Nguyen Huu Tien, another revolutionary, who composed a poem that explained its symbolism. The poem, reproduced in an article published by the Vietnamese embassy to the United States, refers to the Vietnamese resistance fighters’ “red blood” and “yellow skin,” the latter distinguishing them from the colonial occupiers; the five points on the star signify the five classes united in their efforts to overthrow the Europeans: intellectuals, peasants, workers, traders and soldiers. The flag continued to signify these same traits of cultural pride and resistance to non-Asian occupiers during the Vietnam War, when the French and Japanese foes mentioned in the poem had been replaced by, chiefly, Americans."

The multicultural symbolism of the rainbow is nothing new -- Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition also embraces the rainbow as a symbol of that political movement. The rainbow also plays a part in many myths and stories related to gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Native American, African, and other cultures. Use of the rainbow flag by the gay community began in 1978 when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and black civil rights groups, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year. Baker and thirty volunteers hand-stitched and hand-dyed two huge prototype flags for the parade. The flags had eight stripes, each color representing a component of the community: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. The next year Baker approached San Francisco Paramount Flag Company to mass-produce rainbow flags for the 1979 parade. Due to production constraints -- such as the fact that hot pink was not a commercially-available color -- pink and turquoise were removed from the design, and royal blue replaced indigo."

As it is attached on the edge, it does not \"\"deface\"\" the flag which therefore remains the Stars and Stripes of the US (as per the opinion of the US Attorney General in 1925). The fringe is used only inside or on a staff when carried outside by a bearer, it is never flown from a staff or pole outside (the fringe would fray). As there is no wind to move a flag when inside, the gold fringe adds an element of \"\"prettiness\"\", nothing more. The US is indeed prone to having a fringe more than other countries but most national flags have a fringe in some circumstances and no other country attributes any meaning to the fringe except that it looks better. There are many posts that posit the theory that the fringe represents martial or admiralty law. However there is no law, decree, order or other legally enforceable proclamation that mentions the fringe, either to prescribe or proscribe its use. Many quote Executive Order 10834 (under President Eisenhower) however this is a public document available in full on the Internet (try the US Archives) and a review will show no mention of a fringe at all."

"text": "Symbolic Meaning of Rasta Colors The Rastafari Movement is a spiritual way of life which rose to prominence during the 1930s. The colors of red, yellow, green, and black, also known as 'Rasta colors', are often seen on iconography depicting the movement. This Buzzle post explains the symbolism and meaning of these colors. The beginning of Rastafari The Rastafari movement found inspiration in the teachings of Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), a Jamaican proponent of Black Nationalism. He was known to have prophesied the crowning of a black king in Africa. The Rastafaris associated this with the crowning of Haile Selassie I, the Emperor of Ethiopia, believed to be the incarnation of Jesus in his Second Advent. The Rastafari is an African religion, although its followers insist that it is a way of life. The movement stems from various Afrocentric beliefs, mainly the doctrine that Ethiopia is the birthplace of humanity, as well as the Promised Land and Heaven on Earth. Adherents of the movement worship Haile Selassie I, the Emperor of Ethiopia (1892-1975), regarded as an incarnation of Jesus Christ in his Second Advent. Rastafaris number up to approximately a million, living all across the globe."

"text": "\"Home History of Mexico The Mexican Flag The Mexican Flag From the beginning of Mexican history, the people living in the central parts of Mexico used different emblems to represent themselves and their neighbours. The Mexican flag experienced many changes until finally, in 1821, the Mexican flag was declared a unique national symbol by a Constitutional Congress. Its overall design was based on a decree that specified the Mexican flag size and colors, and established that the symbol on the center of the flag had to be an eagle. Mexican Flag History Mexico adopted the current design of its national flag on September 16, 1968. However, since the nation obtained independence from Spain in 1821 and established a constitutional government, the flag has relied upon the same colors and general appearance (only various details of the national Coat of Arms displayed on the flag have changed). © Martin D - Flag of Mexico The modern Mexican flag celebrates a tradition of unity between Spanish immigrants and the approximately 700 indigenous Native American peoples who resided in Mexico at the time the Spanish Conquest began in 1517. The people of Mexico united to obtain freedom from colonial rule during the early 1800s. At the conclusion of fighting, Augustin de Iturbide, a royalist, joined with a revolutionary, Vincente Ramon Geurrero, in adopting a new flag for Mexico on February 24, 1821. Jose Magdaleno Ocampo designed this \"\"Flag of the Three Guarantees\"\". It contained three slanted stripes in white, green and red, with a gold star displayed in each field."

The American flag is a symbol of patriotism that has changed many times since its first creation, but the meaning has remained the same; one nation indivisible. A nation's flag is usually the first thing another nation sees. The U. S. flag is a banner in war, a heraldry in times of peace and a symbol of every American's pride. There are some interesting facts about the American flag that often fascinate kids. Stars and Stripesflag The flag was originally designed with 13 stars and 13 stripes. According to the first Flag Act passed by Congress, the stars were to represent a new constellation. Over the years many people have attributed meanings to the colors on the flag, but none has ever officially been given. The 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies and the stars in the corner represent the states, one star for each state in the union. Colorsflag The colors of the flag have not been officially correlated with any meanings, but the official seal of the US contains the same colors and it was given meaning."

It is believed to be a call for change and a symbol of freedom of expression. There is however another side to the story that has nothing to do with the recession. The original concept of the black and white American flag was to depict the past, present and future of all the Black Americans living in America. The black in particular represents the past as well as the future. The black is also considered to symbolize the backbone or the background of Black Americans."

Insensitive in the USA but not throughout the Americas. In Latin America it is not a disparaging term. The USA has major issues with acknowledging biracial identity. President Obama is regarded to as black in the USA- yet other countries respect his mother's white Kansan heritage and call him biracial not black.

We are folding a flag for display in a triangle shaped case that fits the flag. Should 13 full stars be showing when properly folded and displayed or does the number of stars not matter? Thanks for your help. Shawn Last edited by a moderator: Jun 6, 2006Email Poster, Jun 6, 2006 #1sarahw Guest Shawn, The number of stars showing doesn't really matter. It would be nice for the sake of symbolism if 13 stars always showed when you folded up a flag, but it simply doesn't work out that way. As long as you fold it in the proper way, with two horizontal folds and 11 folds to make the triangle, you've done it right, no matter how many stars are showing. Thanks for asking! Sarahsarahw, Jul 23, 2006 #2panmunjomi New Member Four stars should show, one star representing each of the four services; Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. I've been folding flags for about 24 years, I can never get less that six stars to show so maybe we can add \"\"Reserves and Coast Guard\"\" to the list. Also, the three corners of the folded flag are said to represent the three branches of the government; Executive, Judicial and Legislative."

The basic design was inspired by the Ashkenazi Tallit, the Jewish prayer shawl, which is white with blue stripes. The Magen David (Star of David or Shield of David) is a Jewish symbol dating from medieval period.

Two blue stripes on white are intended to symbolize the stripes on a tallit, the traditional Jewish prayer shawl. Star of David is a symbol of the Jewish people and of Judaism. Some organizations and individuals - Ludwig August Frankl, Israel Belkind, Fanny Abramovitch, Jacob Baruch Askowith (1844–1908) and his son Charles Askowith, David Wolffsohn, Theodor Herzl and Morris Harris among others - came up with designs that are very similar to the current flag of Israel. In 1897, the First Zionist Congress was held in Basel, Switzerland, to consider re-establishing a homeland for Jews in Palestine. Morris Harris, a member of New York Hovevei Zion, used his awning shop to design a suitable banner and decorations for the reception, and his mother Lena Harris sewed the flag. The flag was made with two blue stripes and a large blue Star of David in the center, the colors blue and white chosen from the design of the tallit."

Although amusement parks had been around for decades (tracing their history to the World's Fairs of the 1800s and the European \"\" pleasure gardens \"\" that existed from the 1600s to the 180ss), by the 1940s, most of the classic amusement parks of the United States had either closed or become locations for cheap entertainment and crime. Disneyland was the first \"\" theme park ,\"\" and rather than focusing on thrill rides, roller coasters and carnival-type midways, Disneyland used themed \"\"lands\"\" that created complimentary environments rather than competitive environments. Although very suburban in location and concept, America (which was rapidly becoming a suburban nation) wasn't quite sure what to make of the park at first - but they knew it was a place that they should visit thanks to television. Disneyland's eventual success prompted others to try this new theme formula. ( For more information on the formation of Disneyland, please see the Disneyland Timeline . ) 1957-1960 - At least four well-known attempts to capitalize on the success of Disneyland by other investors are put forth: Magic Mountain (Denver, 1957) - no relation to Magic Mountain in Los Angeles Pacific Ocean Park (Santa Monica, 1958) - popular, but financially unsuccessful Pleasure Island (Boston, 1959) - fails as a theme park and turns to traditional rides Freedomland (Bronx, 1960) - loses millions All of these parks attempt high-theme/low-thrill concepts like Disneyland, but all lack that \"\"magic\"\" which makes Disneyland work. All ultimately fail, losing millions for their investors. The Disney magic is less actual magic and more a solid, well-known set of films (both live-action and animated) that come-to-life for guests in the park. It's one of the first examples of corporate synergy (before the word is invented), and it proves extremely successful.1959 – Like many who saw the success of Disneyland as a great way to make money, Texas real estate developer, Angus Wynne was no exception."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of Europe History of Scotland What does the blue and white colors of the Scottish flag represent? Flag What does the blue and white colors of the Scottish flag represent? Answer by Dave Men-chang Confidence votes 295According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the Scottish flag represent the following: * White - peace and honesty * Blue - vigilance, truth and loyalty, perseverance & justice. The blue and white flag is the Cross of St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland. The first corroborated use of the symbol dates from 1286, when it appeared in the government seal of the \"\"guardians\"\" of Scotland. The British flag, the Union Jack, is made up of the flags of the Patron Saints of each country that is part of the British Isles, as if the flags were placed one on top of the other. The earlier flag of Scotland, a rampant red lion and intricate red border on a bright yellow background, is the royal coat of arms of Scotland, and the Scottish Royal Standard. It was used in the early 13th century on seals and in flag form, and is still valid today. Technically, the Scottish Royal Standard is only used by Her Majesty the Queen in her capacity as Queen of Scots, however, in the 20th century it was unofficially used as a Scottish national flag.58 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

It's important to remember a few things. Lincoln thought the Confederate States had a right to secede from the Union. And he thought the actions he took to keep the Union together were probably unconstitutional, but this was outweighed by the greater good. The point being that these ideas were not unique to Southerners. They were moderate Republican views in the North. Also, Lincoln was terrified of how the expanded powers of the federal government he was creating would be used in the future. And it turns out he was right to be, although he probably didn't expect to have his fears confirmed so soon. The Civil War was terrible."

Welcome to Optimal Living. In today’s podcast I’m going to make the case for medical marijuana in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. First I want to give you a general defense of medical marijuana. Then, I’ll tell you what I’ve seen in my own practice. Finally, I will explain in brief three studies, two for anxiety and one for depression where medical marijuana has been of great benefit. It’s generally true that little stories, one specific case after another, add up to an enormous amount of what we call anecdotal evidence. And in medicine anecdotal evidence is often sufficient to guide treatment, or at the very least, to initiate further investigation. In the case of medical marijuana, and contrary to the belief of many physicians, much of that investigation has been already done."

As you might have guessed from previous posts, The Time Bum is most definitely addicted, and quite incapable of leaving the original strap on any watch for very long. The world of watch straps is irresistible because there is such a wonderful variety of colors, styles, and materials available, and at prices to suit any budget. A different strap can transform your watch, bringing out nuances of color and design that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Some straps are objects of desire in and of themselves, hand crafted by artisans and imbued with their own special character. I confess, I have purchased straps on their own and later bought watches to go with them, instead of the other way around. Come to think of it, I've done that a bit more than I'd like to admit. I believe we have entered a golden age of watch straps. Niche marketing and global internet sales have created a booming marketplace."

"text": "What Do Your Fingernails Reveal About Your Personality? Some of our smallest personal habits, like how we keep our fingernails trimmed, our finger length, or even the natural shape of our fingernails, can reveal more than you might guess about our unique, individual personality traits. In this article, we will look at some of the reasons that our fingernails can reveal our inner personality and what your fingernails say about you. What Do Your Fingernails Reveal About Your Personality? In grade school, it used to be a joke that you would ask someone to look at their fingernails and if they turned their hand with their fingernails pointing toward themselves with their hand curled, it meant they were feminine, but if they looked at their hand with their nails pointing toward the other person, it meant they were masculine. Boys tried to catch girls doing this the ‘wrong’ way for their gender and vice versa, and then used that as another reason to tease. It turns out that fingers may have more in common with our masculinity or femininity than you might think. Let’s look at some of the research on finger length and fingernail shape and what it means for our personalities. Finger length and masculine or feminine personality traits Research by the Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta, Canada studied finger length in men and correlation to mood. The researchers say that there is a clear reason for finger length being studied because ‘Finger length ratio (index to ring finger) is a sexually dimorphic trait found in a variety of species ranging from humans and mice to zebra finches."

"text": "Mood rings are a fad that seem to regularly surface - and of course there is no scientific evidence to indicate that in anyway they can predict your mood ; happy, sad, depressed etc. There is no doubt we do have mood swings, good days and bad - and I do place some significance in Bio-rhythm's as a possible cause for this. The mood rings are able to change colour - and this does come from the contact with your body ; but as to the relevance of the change, well that is most likely the old case of 'Mind over Matter'. This is an explanation of how they actually work/are able to change colour : The stone in a mood ring is either a hollow glass shell filled with thermotropic liquid crystals, or a clear glass stone sitting on top of a thin sheet of liquid crystals (see How LCDs Work for lots of details on liquid crystals). These liquid crystal molecules are very sensitive; they change position, or twist, according to changes in temperature. This change in molecular structure affects the wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected by the liquid crystals, resulting in an apparent change in the colour of the stone. For example, as the temperature increases, the liquid crystal molecules twist slightly in one direction. This twist causes the liquid crystal substance to absorb more of the red and green portions of the visible light, and reflect the blue part. This causes the stone to appear dark blue. When the temperature decreases, the molecules begin to twist in the other direction, and reflect a different portion of the spectrum83 Views"

However, Marvin Wernick, claimed he developed the rings a decade earlier. The book ‘ Why Didn’t I Think of That’ is said to contain a chapter explaining Wernick’s work with mood rings, which he did not patent, giving others an opportunity to bring mood rings into the market. Regardless of who invented the mood ring, they were a popular fad in the 1970s and now mood rings and mood jewelry are as popular as ever. The theory behind the mood ring is that your emotional state will be revealed by the corresponding colors of the mood ring. How Mood Rings Work? Mood Rings contain thermotropic liquid crystals inside the stone or the band of the mood ring. These liquid crystals are able to show different colors at different temperatures."

The \"\"present\"\" subjunctive is the bare form of a verb (that is, a verb with no ending). It does not show agreement with its subject. ( Example: \"\"I strongly recommend that he retire .\"\") Two patterns of the present subjunctive are generally recognized: Formulaic Subjunctive Mandative Subjunctive The only distinctive form of the \"\"past\"\" subjunctive is the word were. It is used with singular subjects in conditional sentences and with the subordinating conjunctions as if and as though.

Capricorn | Source Earth & The Myth of The Sea-Goat Capricorn holds the element of earth. Generally speaking, the element of earth in an astrological sign means stability, physical power, or a sense of security. The Greek mythology surrounding Capricorns starts with \"\"Pricus,\"\" who was said to be the father of the sea-goats, who were his children. The sea-goat children loved to frolic by the seashore and were known for their intelligence and honor, but because so many of them stayed on to land for so long, they lost their tails and began to grow full goat legs. Pricus was devastated over the loss of his children and even went so far as to turn back time in order to save some of them. Alas, this did not stop the sea-goat children from straying too long on land. Eventually, Pricus made a deal with the Gods to take his life in order to spare his sea-goat children."

"text": "\"Flag What do the colors of the flag of Spain represent? Answer by Saida Offical Confidence votes 117The Spanish flag has stripes of red above and below a wider band of yellow, containing a simplified version of Spain's coat-of-arms. Stripes of Yellow and Red Represents gold and blood. Coat of Arms Each of the four quadrants of the coat of arms represents one of the four kingdoms that were merged to form a unified Spain at the end of the 15th century. Namely, the kingdoms are: Castile, represented by the castle, León, represented by the lion, Aragón, represented by the vertical alternating red and yellow stripes (four red stripes, five yellow stripes), and Navarre, represented by the linked chains. Also the Moorish kingdom of Granada is represented by the pomegranate fruit in the bottom of the coat of arms. The impaled fleur de lis represents the ruling House of Borbón. The two columns with the \"\"plus ultra\"\" ensign (meaning \"\"further beyond\"\" in Latin) represent Spanish discovery and colonization of America, the columns being the mythological Pillars of Hercules (of the Strait of Gibraltar, gateway to the Atlantic Ocean). --- The colors red and yellow date from the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in the late 15th century. The yellow part is a symbol of generosity and the red part reflects the hardiness and bravery of the country."

The white shield with the five small blue shields inside is the Armor of Don Afonso Henriques. The legend has it that in the Ourique battle the crucified Christ appeared before Don Afonso Henriques and said: \"\"With this sign (the white shield), you will conquer!\"\". The dots inside each of the blue shield represents the five wounds of Christ. Counting the number of dots in the shields, doubling the ones in the center shield, yields a total of thirty dots representing the thirty silver pieces Judas received for having betrayed Jesus Christ. The seven castles around the white shield represent the fortified locations that Don Afonso Henriques conquered from the Moors. The yellow sphere represents the world that Portuguese navigators discovered in the fifteen (XV) and sixteen (XVI) centuries as well as the people with whom they exchanged ideas and traded with. The green color represents hope and the red the courage and the blood of the Portuguese fallen in combat.

"text": "The history of Argentina’s flag, which dates back to 1812, is wrapped in a curious mix of revolutionary fighting for independence from Spain and Incan sun worship. The Argentine flag has three horizontal bands; the top and bottom ones are light blue, and the middle is white. The Argentine flag colors’ meaning is disputed. Some say the white represents silver. Early conquistadors named the country Argentina after the Latin word Argentinum, meaning silver, thinking that the region contained vast amounts of the precious metal. The blue bands may represent the sky, the waters of Argentina’s Rio de la Plata, or the blue used by the Spanish royal house of Bourbon on their coat of arms. Observing the flag, our gaze is immediately attracted to its center, where we find its most striking feature: a human face wearing a neutral expression inside a gold disc with straight and wavy rays emitting from its center, representing a sun. The sun named el sol de mayo (the sun of May) after Argentina’s May revolution, which eventually leads to the nation’s independence from Spain, is a national emblem. Argentine coinage dating back to 1813 has an image of the same sun, as does the Uruguayan flag (differing only in the number of rays), and early versions of the Peruvian flag. Juan de Dios Tupac Amaru (1760-1843), a Peruvian descendant of Incan nobility, designed The Sun of May, which pays tribute to the Incan sun god Inti."

In the middle of the blue stripe and flag there are seven, white, five-pointed stars that are arranged in a semi circle. In the top left hand corner of the Venezuelan flag is the country's coat of arms. Venezuelan Flag Meaning: The Venezuelan flag is based on one flown by independence fighters fighting against Spanish colonial rule. At that time the yellow represented the gold of the Americas, blue stood for the Atlantic Ocean which separated the new Americas from the bloody old world of Europe and Spain which is signified by red. A modern but similar meaning behind the Venezuelan flag states that the yellow represents new opportunities, the red symbolizes Spain, and the blue stands for the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the two. The seven stars represent the seven provinces that existed at the time of Venezuelan independence. Venezuelan Flag History: The Venezuelan flag was adopted on February 19, 1954.

( Official colors of the flag)The flag of Puerto Rico represents and symbolizes the island of Puerto Rico and its people. The origins of the current flag of Puerto Rico, adopted by the commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 1952, can be traced to 1868, when the first Puerto Rican flag, \"\"The Revolutionary Flag of Lares\"\", was conceived by Dr. Ramón Emeterio Betances and embroidered by Mariana \"\"Brazos de Oro\"\" Bracetti. This flag was used in the short-lived Puerto Rican revolt against Spanish rule in the island, known as \"\"El Grito de Lares\"\". [ 1] [2]Juan de Mata Terreforte, an exiled veteran of \"\"El Grito de Lares\"\" and Vice-President of the Cuban Revolutionary Committee, in New York City, adopted the flag of Lares as the flag of Puerto Rico until 1895, when the current design, modeled after the Cuban flag, was unveiled and adopted by the 59 Puerto Rican exiles of the Cuban Revolutionary committee. [ 3] The new flag, which consisted of five equal horizontal bands of red (top and bottom) alternating with white; a blue isosceles triangle based on the hoist side bears a large, white, five-pointed star in the center, was first flown in Puerto Rico on March 24, 1897, during the \"\" Intentona de Yauco \"\" revolt. The use and display of the Puerto Rican flag was outlawed and the only flags permitted to be flown in Puerto Rico were the Spanish flag (1492 to 1898) and the flag of the United States (1898 to 1952). In 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico adopted the same flag design, which was unveiled in 1895 by the Puerto Rican exiles within the Cuban Revolutionary Committee, as its official standard. The color of the triangle that was used by the administration of Luis Muñoz Marín was the dark blue. [ 4] In 1995, the government of Puerto Rico issued a regulation regarding the use of the Puerto Rican flag titled: \"\"Reglamento sobre el Uso en Puerto Rico de la Bandera del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico\"\", in which the government specifies the colors to be used but does not specify any official color tones or shades."

There are today many variations manufactured of this royal standard, one of which is shown here.

It was the flag carried by most of the Conquistadors in their exploration and conquest of the New World during this period of time. It represents the cross on which Saint Andrew was crucified.

It signifies the commitment made by our fallen comrades who battled bravely to defend the honor of this sacred emblem - our American unity, our power, and our purpose as a nation, and it exemplifies the devotion of our leaders who continue to uphold its promise of liberty, justice and freedom for all. Nothing evokes such strong emotion as seeing the flag, either a ceremony honoring a great event or draped over the coffin of a military veteran as a sign of mourning for a hero and a loved one."

Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy. [ 2] The red sky at sunset results from Rayleigh scattering, while the red color of the Grand Canyon and other geological features is caused by hematite or red ochre, both forms of iron oxide. Iron oxide also gives the red color to the planet Mars. The red colour of blood comes from protein hemoglobin, while ripe strawberries, red apples and reddish autumn leaves are colored by anthocyanins. ["

Present ratio, November 2009. Design A horizontal tricolor of yellow (double width), blue and red with the National Coat of Arms superimposed at the center. Variant flag of Ecuador Use Naval Jack The national flag of Ecuador, which consists of horizontal bands of yellow (double width), blue and red, was first adopted by law in 1835 and later on 26 September 1860. The design of the current flag was finalized in 1900 with the addition of the coat of arms in the center of the flag. Before using the yellow, blue and red tricolor, Ecuador used white and blue flags that contained stars for each province of the country. The design of the flag is very similar to those of Colombia and Venezuela, which are also former constituent territories of Gran Colombia. All three are based on a proposal by Venezuelan General Francisco de Miranda, which was adopted by Venezuela in 1811 and later Gran Colombia with some modifications. There is a variant of the flag that does not contain the coat of arms that is used by the merchant marine. This flag matches Colombia's in every aspect, but Colombia uses a different design when her merchant marine ships are at sail."

"text": "\"Print this map Print this map Colombia Flag: The current flag of Colombia was officially adopted on December 17, 1819. The flag features three horizontal bands of yellow (double-width), blue and red. Colors of the flag are commonly interpreted in two ways: One version indicates that the yellow symbolizes sovereignty and justice, blue as loyalty and vigilance, and red represents the valor shown and the victory achieved during the battles for independence from Spain. A very popular children's song claims that yellow represents the gold Colombia once owned until the arrival of the Spanish, blue indicates the country's contact with two oceans and red represents the blood that Colombians spent in their struggle for independence from Spain. Larger Colombia flag Large selection of South American flags Colombia Coat of Arms: At the top of the Coat of Arms is the Andean Condor, an endangered species. The shield is divided into three sections: the base section shows the Isthmus of Panama, which belonged to Colombia at one time. The middle section uses a Phrygian cap to symbolize freedom. The top section shows a pomegranate with two cornucopia, which is a colonial symbol for the Viceroyalty of New Grenada. Behind the shield is a sail made from the Colombian flag, drapped over spears. Above the shield are the words \"\"Libertad Y Orden\"\" meaning \"\"Liberty and Order\"\"."

"text": "Politics & Government Politics What do the colors on the Venezuelan flag represent? Also the symbol on the top left corner and the stars plz nd thnx Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: he flag of Venezuela consists of three equal sized horizontal stripes - the top stripe is yellow, the middle blue, and the bottom stripe is red. In the middle of the blue stripe and flag there are seven, white, five-pointed stars that are arranged in a semi circle. In the top left hand corner of the Venezuelan flag is the country's coat of arms. Venezuelan Flag Meaning: The Venezuelan flag is based on one flown by independence fighters fighting against Spanish colonial rule. At that time the yellow represented the gold of the Americas, blue stood for the Atlantic Ocean which separated the new Americas from the bloody old world of Europe and Spain which is signified by red. A modern but similar meaning behind the Venezuelan flag states that the yellow represents new opportunities, the red symbolizes Spain, and the blue stands for the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the two. The seven stars represent the seven provinces that existed at the time of Venezuelan independence. Venezuelan Flag History: The Venezuelan flag was adopted on February 19, 1954. Venezuela declared independence from Spain on July 5, 1811."

What Does Your Passport Color Really Mean?28 June, 2016 by Georgia Bobley 1.3K Shares You can't travel without your passport-- but the color of the cover of this ultra-important document isn't as arbitrary as you may think. Speaking to Business Insider, Hrant Boghossian, the vice president of marketing at the interactive passport database Passport Index, explained the significance of the world's most popular passport colors. According to Boghossian, most passports come in four colors: blue, red, green, and black; though there is variation of shades within the four groups. With so many countries and so many cultures and traditions that shape the aesthetics of a nation, it's surprising that the color wheel is so limited for passport covers, but there's a reason behind the fact: \"\"Passport production is a highly controlled process, and only few companies around the world are doing it,\"\" Boghossian said. The cardstock used for passport covers is \"\"usually supplied by a third party\"\" and therefore \"\"only comes in certain color variations to meet the required standards. \"\" So what does each color mean? And why is your passport the color that is? Let us explain. Blue According to Boghossian, Caribbean countries almost always have blue passports, though it's become a common color for \"\"New World countries\"\" as well."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Ecuadorian people have a distinctive dress code which is influenced by the cultural diversity in the region. People who know the native dresses well can sometimes tell which part of Ecuador someone is from just by their dress. The men's dress usually consists of a blue poncho, a fedora, or a felt hat and white, and knickers. The Shimba (a long braid that hangs down nearly to the man's waist) is a very traditional piece of clothing. The Ecuadorian woman's dress is the closest to the Incan costumes worn in the Andes. A white blouse, a blue skirt and a shawl is usually worn. Jewelry is very important, layers of necklaces of predominantly gold beads and red coral bracelets are the most common form of jewelry worn by the Otavalo woman.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Some other sources also agree that the shade of Colombian yellow is different from the shade used by Ecuador and Venezuela (notably Shipmate Chart and [ zna99 ]). However, converting the given Pantone to RGB gave by my software one colour that I'd call buff, much similar to the colour used in Album as the background, and certainly not very yellow. I chose this light yellow shade to represent the Colombian yellow. Hopefully this is not much mistaken, and anyway, it serves only to show the difference from the other two Nueavagranadan yellows. Željko Heimer, 16 May 2001I must say that some colours given in album 2000 seem quite strange. Pantone 135 is NOT yellow but it is buff and nothing else, you are right.

In the middle of the blue stripe and flag there are seven, white, five-pointed stars that are arranged in a semi circle. In the top left hand corner of the Venezuelan flag is the country's coat of arms. Advertiser Links [ what's this? ] Venezuelan Flag Meaning: The Venezuelan flag is based on one flown by independence fighters fighting against Spanish colonial rule. At that time the yellow represented the gold of the Americas, blue stood for the Atlantic Ocean which separated the new Americas from the bloody old world of Europe and Spain which is signified by red. A modern but similar meaning behind the Venezuelan flag states that the yellow represents new opportunities, the red symbolizes Spain, and the blue stands for the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the two. The seven stars represent the seven provinces that existed at the time of Venezuelan independence. Venezuelan Flag History: The Venezuelan flag was adopted on February 19, 1954.

And the West African dance craze “Azonto” certainly communicates a message — although in a more direct way than other dances do. What is Azonto? Azonto is the popular dance for a Ghanaian and West African fast-beat music genre. It sometimes can be used as a rude reference to wayward girls. Azonto music and dance became more popular in mid-2011 when it became Ghana’s first dance moves to have appealed to a lot of international taste. Basically, the dance moves involve mostly hand gesturing with the aim to pass across a message. Finding its roots in the coastal areas of Ghana, Azonto dance has gained for itself a considerable amount of attention."

He was the first prime minister and president of Ghana, having led it to independence from Britain in 1957. An influential advocate of Pan-Africanism, Nkrumah was a founding member of the Organization of African Unity and winner of the Lenin Peace Prize in 1962. [ 2]After twelve years abroad pursuing higher education, developing his political philosophy, and organizing with other diasporic pan-Africanists, Nkrumah returned to Gold Coast to begin his political career as an advocate of national independence. He formed the Convention People's Party, which achieved rapid success through its unprecedented appeal to the common voter. He became prime minister in 1952 and retained this position when Ghana declared independence from Britain in 1957. In 1960, Ghanaians approved a new constitution and elected Nkrumah president. His administration was both socialist and nationalist. Thus it funded national industrial and energy projects, developed a strong national education system, and promoted a national (and pan-African) culture. Under Nkrumah, Ghana played a leading role in African international relations during the decolonization period."

"text": "Jul17News There are five woods from African considered as ‘Redwoods’ (Mahoganies or Mahogany looking and substitutes). Theses woods are in order of cost from least to most: Okoume, Tiama (also known as Edinam), Sapele, African Mahogany (has several names), and Utile (Sipo). The woods we stock at Thompson Mahogany are: African Mahogany/Khaya, Sapele and Utile/Sipo . Thompson Mahogany is your best source for wholesale African Mahogany, Sapele, and Utile. We buy directly from foreign mills who not only produce high quality, but are also practicing sustainability, and legal logging practices. So we can get the best prices, best quality and a responsible wood product. African Mahogany historically, until about 6-8 years ago, had traded at about 10% higher in cost than Sapele. Since than their costs are very similar. Utile trades at about 5-10% higher than them. Availability: They all grow and are harvested in West African Countries."

"text": "\"Commonwealth Realm A Commonwealth realm is any one of the 16 sovereign states that recognize Queen Elizabeth II as their Queen and head of state. In each state she acts as the monarch of that state regardless of her other roles. For example, in Australia she is known as \"\"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia\"\" or simply, the Queen of Australia. Upon the \"\"advice\"\" of the nations' prime ministers, the Queen appoints a Governor-General to represent her as the de facto Head of State \"\"during her absence\"\". The Governor-General in turn exercises the powers of a constitutional monarch with a few symbolic, figurehead duties. In countries with federal systems like Canada and Australia, the Queen is also represented by a Governor in each of the states of Australia and by a Lieutenant Governor in each of the provinces of Canada. Fourteen of the nations are former British self-governing colonies (including the Dominions) that became independent countries either after the ratification of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, the collapse of the Federation of the West Indies in 1961, or at later dates, the latest being Saint Kitts and Nevis in 1983. The two exceptions are Papua New Guinea which was administered by Australia as an international trusteeship before independence in 1975 and the United Kingdom itself.

Tagged Under: Mood Rings Advertisement Mood rings come in a simple or an intricate design. However, the metal work of the mood ring is just for the ornamental purpose that enhances the look of the jewelry. So, even though you might find many designs of mood rings or other similar jewelry like mood necklaces their functioning remains the same. So, how do mood rings work? What really matters in the ring is the thermotropic liquid crystals present inside, which are contained either in a glass or quartz gemstone. This liquid is so sensitive, that it changes its structure according to the temperature changes of the person wearing it. And temperature changes in the body are associated with mood changes. Hence, mood rings color meanings can be used to see what the person wearing is feeling at the present moment. What Does the Colors of the Mood Ring Indicate?"

They are easily one of the most popular quartzes in the world. They are formed when purple amethyst undergoes heat treatment. This is why they’re also sometimes called ‘burnt amethyst’. The name citrine comes from the Greek word ‘citron’, also because the crystal has a similar color to the citrus fruit. Citrine crystals resemble a topaz, and the color of citrine is caused by chemical impurities. It’s the iron in citrine that gives it its pale-yellow color. Rio Grande do Sol in Brazil is the largest supplier of natural citrine.

These assumptions are based on history, cultural beliefs, and the finger you choose for your ring. Before putting on your rings, it is helpful to understand what each finger says about you and your lifestyle. Ring Meanings by Finger Source From your marital status to your profession, your rings tell a lot about you. Some fingers have special meaning, while others don't mean anything at all.

Well, pure silver contains a little amount of copper because it has 99.9 percent silver. On the other hand, when you come across 925 sterling silver ornaments, then the number denotes 92.5 percent silver in addition to copper which is commonly used. Jewelers always prefer adding copper because the metals help to make silver soft and malleable. As the hardness is reduced, the jeweler is in a better position to make intricate designs from 925 sterling silver. Whether you are buying a sterling silver ring or a necklace, you would have to pay a little more as you negotiate at the jeweler’s shop...

"text": "\"Description of Bharatanatyam What's here: Basic Features Distinctive Features Abstract Dance Expressive Dance Program of a Recital The Message of Bharatanatyam Bibliography Bharatanatyam has many dimensions. They include body movements, facial expressions, hand gestures, footwork, costumes, music, repertoire, and themes of performances. Because Bharatanatyam is so well developed, all of these aspects of the art have been codified, and are documented in ancient scriptures as well as recent books. Our description of Bharatanatyam is intended for a spectator, and one who is relatively unfamiliar with the dance, as opposed to a dance student, professional, or scholar. Rukmini Devi has said that the difference between a technical expert and an artistic genius is the ability to master the technique and then forget it. By transcending technique and forgetting oneself, a dancer enters the spirit of the dance and expresses it. Similarly, those of us interested in Bharatanatyam can benefit by knowing a little about the technique and language of the art form. Otherwise, we can be distracted or puzzled by details of technique or appearance, and miss the deeper meaning. When we are accustomed to the mode of expression of Bharatanaytam, then we can see beyond it, and experience what is being expressed in the performance. We’ll touch on the terminology and organization of various elements of the dance, outline the different dance items that make up a recital, and attempt to explain how they all come together to give expression to the dancer and enjoyment to the audience."

"text": "The Meaning of Colors in Mood Rings By Sally Painter Source Mood rings are a fun and popular 70s-inspired jewelry item that has fascinated people for years, in large part because of what the colors are believed to represent. Mood rings respond to changes in body temperature, so many people believe that this type of jewelry can offer clues about a person's state of mind. Learn what the colors mean to help decode your moods. Mood Ring Color Chart If you're wondering what your mood ring is saying about you, decode its messages with this chart: Source How Mood Rings Change Color Liquid crystals are the secret to the mood ring's changing array of colors. The clear glass stone in the ring is either filled with the liquid crystals or sits directly on top of a thin layer of the substance that has been adhered to a sterling setting. Liquid crystals are extremely sensitive to heat, and will twist their position in response to a rise or drop in temperature. Light comes in many different wavelengths, and each wavelength is reflected to our eyes as a different color. The position of the crystals determines which wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected back to us, and this is what makes the stone appear to change color. Body Temperature Your mood affects your body temperature, which is what causes the ring to change colors. When you feel happy or content, your body gets slightly warmer because the capillaries move a little closer to the skin surface and release more warmth, which causes that well-known blush that creeps into the cheeks from time to time."

They contain liquid crystals, which change color as your body temperature changes. While getting your hands on liquid crystals to make a traditional mood ring is quite a chore, you can create your own unique mood rings which are probably far more accurate anyway. Things You'll Need Letter beads Decorative beads Elastic thread Scissors Craft glue Purchase a number of letter beads at your local craft store. They are most commonly found in white blocks with black letters; however, occasionally you can find them in multiple colors as well as metal. Get the letters for all of the mood rings you would like to create. Just remember that you only have only so much room on your finger, so don't choose long words such as \"\"aggravated\"\" or \"\"excited. \"\" Pick up some additional decorative beads that will fill in the space around the words of your ring. These beads can be anything you like; however, they should have nice, smooth edges for comfort while wearing."

It was the Swahili word used to refer to the traditional kingdom of Buganda in Central Uganda. ' U' is a Swahili prefix which indicates a nation. For example, Uingereza represents England. Therefore, Buganda was referred to by the coastal Arabs as Uganda and the name 'Uganda' was picked up by the British who colonized Uganda to refer to the entire country which did not only include Buganda but also other conquered kingdoms like Bunyoro, Toro and Ankole.

And nowhere does it ring more true than in the fashion industry. The departures of Raf Simons from Dior and Alber Elbaz from Lanvin are poignant reminders of the constant pressure to create collections — collections that are critically acclaimed and commercially successful. But as I perused this season’s offerings, it seemed that some designers thought it an opportune moment to borrow not from couturiers past, but from entire cultures. Collections were inspired by continents and countries and presented with none of their people, which in this day and age, is just not okay. Complete with cornrowed hair and masai beading, Valentino’s spring/summer 2016 offering was described in Vogue by its designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli as a message in “tolerance and the beauty that comes out of cross-cultural expression” — and yet, only eight of the 90 looks showcased were on women of color."

Their leader was informed in a dream by the god of war, Huitzilopochtli, that they were to settle in the place where they would find an eagle on a prickly pear cactus holding a serpent.

Edit Answer by SHOFI R KRISHNA Confidence votes 11.8KIdi Amin was one of those mass murderers whose crimes can't be counted, only guessed at by demographers; to this day the estimates of the Ugandans he killed range from 200,000 to 800,000. Power unleashed his sadism, and many of his fellow citizens died under torture. People close to him claimed he was a cannibal and kept the heads of eminent victims in his freezer. He was also a cartoon dictator who made himself a doctor of law, gave himself the Victoria Cross, declared himself president for life, and offered free advice to Richard Nixon on Watergate. He had many medals. Amin didn't like educated Africans, being nearly illiterate himself, and he wiped out most of the intellectual class. He also didn't like South Asians, and in 1972 ordered all 80,000 of them (including those born in Uganda) to leave within 90 days. Their 4,000 shops and businesses were confiscated and given to Amin supporters, who soon ran them into the ground."

Most black africans live in sub saharan Africa, south of the sahara desert through Central Africa and down to South Africa. However at the turn of the 17th Century when the white European explorers started coming to Africa they concentrated on the coastal areas because of the Malaria disease which was a big killer of white men. Also a lot of the African societies were hostile to the early explorers so they could not penetrate deep into Africa. For this reason these European slave traders made contacts with local chiefs along the coast who were often instigated to fight wars with neighbouring kingdoms to create a steady supply of war captives as slaves. The majority of the slave trade was conducted along the West african coast in what is the coastal areas of the modern african countries of Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Nigeria, Benin, Sierre Leone, Togo, Ghana, Congo and Angola. Some of the biggest linguistic groups within these areas are the Yoruba, Ibo,Ijaw in Modern Nigeria the Ga, Fa, Twi of Togo and Ghana as well others. These will be the main constituents of the country of Jamaica. As a further source of tracing the genealogy of the Jamaica people will be to examine the similarities between Jamaican food and African food. Yams and Cocoyams are indigenous to West Africa, also Ackee I believe was also indigenous to West Africa although no longer eaten in West Africa now."

On a night of perfect 10s for the irrepressible Usain Bolt, it took a hapless cameraman on a Segway to do what Justin Gatlin again failed to and bring him down. If that was a comedic end to the second act of a rivalry styled as a modern morality play, for Bolt his stroll to an unprecedented fourth consecutive men’s 200m world title was deadly serious. Not only did he secure his 10th world championship gold medal but the manner of victory – his time of 19.55sec was the 10th fastest ever and his best for three years – was a stunning riposte to any doubters. Having struggled with injury all season, afterwards the Jamaican was bubbling enthusiastically about breaking 19 seconds over his favourite distance. Even Bolt’s victory lap came with added drama when a cameraman on a motorised two-wheel contraption knocked him over from behind then a volunteer attempted to make off with his spikes. “ I am fine.

He also founded the Black Star Line, part of the Back-to-Africa movement, which promoted the return of the African diaspora to their ancestral lands. Marcus Garvey Parade, Harlem Prior to the twentieth century, leaders such as Prince Hall , Martin Delany , Edward Wilmot Blyden, and Henry Highland Garnet advocated the involvement of the African diaspora in African affairs. Garvey was unique in advancing a Pan-African philosophy to inspire a global mass movement and economic empowerment focusing on Africa. This was known as Garveyism. Promoted by the UNIA as a movement of African Redemption, Garveyism would eventually inspire others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement (which proclaims Garvey as a prophet). The intent of the movement was for those of African ancestry to \"\"redeem\"\" Africa and for the European colonial powers to leave it. Garvey's essential ideas about Africa were stated in an editorial in the Negro World titled \"\"African Fundamentalism\"\" where he wrote: \"\"Our union must know no clime, boundary, or nationality… to let us hold together under all climes and in every country…\"\"Marcus Garvey with Potentate Gabriel M.

Prior to this time there were about thirty Chinese living in Jamaica. The second batch, of about two hundred, coming from Trinidad and British Guiana arrived in Jamaica between 1864-1870. On June 12, 1884, a third group of about six hundred and eighty arrived straight from China, all having three year contracts. In 1905, the Jamaican Government noticed the increased population of Chinese immigrants and passed a law that restricted entry to the country if certain criteria were not met. The law passed emphasized three main areas: Immigrants had to be registered with immigration authorities before entry. Immigrants had to have a guarantor from a reliable shop."

S. flag does not have any official meaning. However, the colors red, white and blue are taken from the Great Seal, to which meaning is ascribed.

S. flag was adopted by the Marine committee of the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia, Pa. As reported in Time Magazine, Mike Buss, a vexillologist with the American Legion, claims that the most obvious reason for the adoption of red, white and blue is that they are the colors of the mother country's flag, Great Britain's Union Jack.

"text": "Full Answer Members of the Jamaica House of Representatives were responsible for the flag's design. The Jamaica flag consists of a golden, X-shaped saltire that divides the flag into four areas; the top and bottom triangles formed by the saltire are green, while the hoist and fly are black. Earlier versions of the flag featured horizontal gold, green and black stripes. However, these were thought to resemble the flag of what was then the Republic of Tanganyika too closely. When Jamaica was a colony, the flag always featured the Union Jack in the upper corner, as the Union Jack is the flag of the United Kingdom. The saltire in the new flag was possibly an acknowledgement of the Scottish ancestry of many Jamaicans. The Scottish flag features a St. Andrew's cross, which resembles the saltire. Though Jamaica is no longer a colony of Great Britain, it is still a member of the Commonwealth. As of 2014, its head of state was Queen Elizabeth II, who is represented by a governor general.

Clovis, Sunday Observer, Jan 31, 2010Well, I’ve always known that my views on Jamaican Creole or Patwa, the native language here, were contentious but sound. Still for all those who’ve doubted what i’ve written on the subject please read what Michael De Graff, an MIT Associate Professor of Linguistics, Syntax, Morphology, Language Change, Creole Studies, and Haitian Creole has to say on the subject. Here’s an excerpt from a Boston Globe article on him and his work: The Power of Creole Beneath Haiti’s problems lies a deep conflict with its own language. An MIT professor has a bold plan to fix that. When Michel De Graff was a young boy in Haiti, his older brother brought home a notice from school reminding students and parents of certain classroom rules. At the top of the list was “no weapons.” And right below it, De Graff still remembers: “No Creole.” Students were supposed to use French, and French only. It was like this all over the country, and still is."

Jamaica National Day was first celebrated on August 6, 1962 by raising the National Flag which signified the birth of the nation. This auspicious occasion is celebrated every year in Jamaica and 6th day of August is noted as a national holiday in Jamaica. Jamaica Independence Day History The history of independence of Jamaica was approved through General elections. February 1962 saw the Legislation & the Premier Norman Manley approving the new constitution and called it the General Elections. In this way, Alexander Bustamente got elected during April and was first one to be the Jamaican Prime Minister. On August 6, 1962, the nation was given the status of an independent country and a member of the British Commonwealth. The British would dominate the Jamaicans and they did not have access to rights and freedom. Jamaica becoming an independent nation now meant that Britain no longer controlled the affairs of the country. It was now the responsibility of the newly elected Prime Minister and the locally elected Cabinet to look into the matter to ensure equal rights and freedom to all the Jamaican citizens."

Reggae has influenced societies throughout the world, contributing to the development of new counterculture movements, particularly in Europe, in the USA and Africa. Indeed, by the end of the 1960s, it participated in the birth of the skinhead movement in the UK. In the 1970s, it impacted on Western punk rock/ pop cultures and inspired the first rappers in the USA. Finally, since the late 1970s onwards, it has also influenced singers originating from Africa, Alpha Blondy, Tiken Jah Fakoly and Lucky Dube being perfect examples.

"text": "\"Lynn Atchison Beech The flag of Jamaica was adopted on August 6, 1962, the original Jamaican Independence Day, the country having gained independence from the British-protected Federation of the West Indies. The flag consists of a gold saltire, which divides the flag into four sections: two of them green (top and bottom) and two black (hoist and fly). The present design emerged from those sent in by the public in a national competition. It was originally designed with horizontal stripes, but this was considered too similar to the Tanganyikan flag, and so the saltire was substituted. It hints at the Scottish and Irish roots of much of the population, while black, green, and gold are Pan-African colors, representing the country's black majority population. An earlier interpretation of the colors was, \"\"hardships there are but the land is green and the sun shineth\"\": gold recalls the shining sun, black reflects hardships, and green represents the land. However, that was changed to the colour black representing the strength and creativity of the people which has allowed them to overcome the odds, yellow for the golden sunshine and green for the lush vegetation of the island.

At his first Olympic Games, Bolt became the first man in history to win three gold medals and set three world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. And how. When Bolt broke Michael Johnson's 12-year-old 200m record of 19.32seconds, by 0.02sec he was running at an average speed of 37.305km per hour (23mph), covering an incredible 10.3m per second.

Clovis cartoon in the Daily Observer, Tuesday, August 7, 2012The message is quite clear: during this period of even greater national pride than ever before – our Jamaica 50 and the superior performances of our athletes at the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games – a window is now open for us to educate ourselves about our national symbols. It’s all well and good that we feel euphoric during events like the Grand Gala held on Monday, August 6 (which, by the way, was fantastic! ), and the goose-bump forming moments at the Olympics that was the women’s 100m finals that saw Jamaica getting the gold and bronze medals, and the men’s 200m finals that saw Jamaica sweeping all the medals! – but we need to find a way to translate that euphoria into positive actions for the country’s overall benefit. How you ask? By teaching the reasons for that euphoria again and again and again, until it becomes a part of our DNA. After all, as Marcus Garvey, Jamaica’s first National Hero, rightly stated: A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

They are the identity of every nation. They further represent one or two things about the country. Over time, some countries see the need to make some adjustments in their national flags. The colours and symbols of many national flags carry cultural, political, and regional meanings and ideals. Most African flags bear a design, colour or symbol of the fight for freedom. National flags are respected to the core. A slight on the national flag is a slight on the entire country and the heroes whose blood earned these countries the freedom and independence they enjoy.

There are stripes on the flag, in horizontal shapes of white, blue and red colours. A strong symbolism is contained by the Thai flag; the three colours are symbols of the religion, king and nation. The flag was adopted in 1917, on September 28. In the Thai language the flag has the name Thong Trairong or Triaranga which means the tricolour. King Rama IV (Mongkut) made the first Thai flag, in 1855; the flag had a white elephant and wasn’t unique. In 1916 the flag was designed in the actual model, excepting the middle colour that was red. This important change happened at the initiative of the King Rama VI (Vajiravudh); he saw a Thai flag positioned upside down and took the decision of changing the design immediately in order to avoid this mistake to happen again. The flag’s middle colour was changed from red to blue, in 1917, the blue colour representing the King Vajiravudh’s birthday. Thailand first flag was red, used for Siam and during the king Narai’s reign (1656-1688)."

"text": "Cataract Surgery Cost Guide How much does cataract surgery cost? Cataract surgery is a complex procedure which must be performed by a trained ophthalmology specialist using advanced equipment, meaning the final cost of cataract surgery can prove to be a significant investment. The final cost estimate for cataract surgery depends on a range of factors. The geographical location of the clinic or hospital is probably the most influential factor, with the cost of cataract surgery varying dramatically from country to country. While the idea of travelling abroad may seem like an alarming prospect, the lack of access to treatment in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia has resulted in many patients looking further afield for their cataract surgery. The average cost of cataract surgery in the United States is around $3,429; in Mexico, however, the procedure can be found for $2,010. Another aspect which influences the price of cataract surgery is the experience and reputation of the surgeon. You can expect to pay significantly more to be seen by a surgeon with decades of experience or who comes highly-recommended. Assessing the qualifications and training of a surgeon is one way of determining how much experience they have, with many ophthalmologists working in countries such as India or Thailand having trained and worked internationally. Similarly, the standing of the hospital or clinic where you choose to undergo your surgery can affect the final cost."

Though it had been successful in maintaining its independence from the European colonial powers, Siam had been forced to cede Laos, Cambodia and its own four southernmost provinces, at the height of imperialism between 1889 and 1909, and it had also had to grant extraterritorial rights to foreign citizens."

What do you feel when you see the flag of your country? What feelings arise when you think about what it represents? Depending on the history of that particular country, and your own personal experiences, feelings may vary. However, flags all over the world stand for a country's history and heritage, which is really the case of the Bulgarian flag. A simple hind back will show the everyday struggle of the Bulgarian inhabitants of prehistoric times, the Ottoman and the Byzantine Empires conquering and ruling it all, and Communism opening a sad parenthesis in an obscure chapter in Bulgarian History, only closed by the country's deliverance after the fall of the former Soviet Union. Bulgarians have a lot to remember when they see their flag fluttering free on the sky. Some Historical Facts Far ago, in the 1860's, the Bulgarian Legia, a revolutionary group founded in Serbia by Bulgarian emigrants, used a flag in green, white and red colours. In the war against Turkey, S. Paraskevovo made the first white-green-red striped flag and it was presented to Russian-Bulgarian troops in the Romanian town of Braila in 1877. It had a lion and the word \"\"BULGARIA\"\" in the centre, in Cyrillic characters."

Demining relies on marking systems of one kind or another to: Determine the area to be cleared To show the cleared and uncleared area while work progresses To indicate exposed devices And to mark an area as permanently clear when the work is completed. These systems are often separated into survey, clearance-area, and device marking - with permanent marking being a part of Survey. All marking systems can lead to safety issues when the marking is unclear, causes confusion or when it is less than \"\"permanent\"\". This introduction discusses common systems in use and is not intended to suggest that any one is best. In many cases original survey marking is limited to the noting of a Landmark and its relationship to a marked Benchmark from which the surveyor's drawn map leads the reader to Turning Points on the suspect area's perimeter. The turning points may be marked out with stakes or painted stones, have metal posts driven into the ground, or may be unmarked and rely on the demining group taking measurements and directions from the map. Mined-area warning signs may be positioned around the perimeter - especially in areas that may be used by the public. The signs may be linked by wire or plastic tape, or may be hung on posts and trees.

Clovis cartoon in the Daily Observer, Tuesday, August 7, 2012The message is quite clear: during this period of even greater national pride than ever before – our Jamaica 50 and the superior performances of our athletes at the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games – a window is now open for us to educate ourselves about our national symbols. It’s all well and good that we feel euphoric during events like the Grand Gala held on Monday, August 6 (which, by the way, was fantastic! ), and the goose-bump forming moments at the Olympics that was the women’s 100m finals that saw Jamaica getting the gold and bronze medals, and the men’s 200m finals that saw Jamaica sweeping all the medals! – but we need to find a way to translate that euphoria into positive actions for the country’s overall benefit. How you ask? By teaching the reasons for that euphoria again and again and again, until it becomes a part of our DNA. After all, as Marcus Garvey, Jamaica’s first National Hero, rightly stated: A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

It used to be held on the full moon of the eleventh month, which coincided with the beginning of the northern spring, when the sun started moving northwards. These days the date is fixed, and each year the festival is held over three days from April 13-15 (though it may begin earlier and end later, depending on the year and the region). Festivals similar to Songkran are held at about the same time in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and in the Yunnan region of South-West China. The name Songkran (สงกรานต์) comes from the Sanskrit ‘sankranta’, meaning a move or change. Songkran in Thailand Songkran used to be observed only in Northern Thailand, leading some to believe that it was originally brought to Thailand by the Burmese. It is now celebrated all over Thailand, although the celebration in the northern city of Chiang Mai is generally recognized as the most authentic example, and also the most intense. Songkran 2018The official dates for the Songkran festival in Chiang Mai are Friday, 13 April 2018 to Sunday, 15 April 2018. The fact that Songkran is falling on a weekend this year means that Monday 16 April, 2018 will also be a bank/government holiday. This is the most important festival of the year for Thai people, and they know how to make the most of it."

The six colours; Blue (nila), Yellow (pita), Red (lohita), White (odata), Scarlet (manjestha), and the mixture of these six colours (prabaswara) of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The Horizontal Stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the Vertical Stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolize the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma. The Blue light that radiated from the Buddha's hair symbolises the spirit of Universal Compassion for all beings. The Yellow light that radiated from the Buddha's epidermis symbolises the Middle Way which avoids all extremes and brings balance and liberation. The Red light that radiated from the Buddha's flesh symbolises the Blessings that the practice of the Buddha's Teaching brings. The White light that radiated from the Buddha's bones and teeth symbolises the Purity of the Buddha's Teaching and the Liberation it brings. The Orange light that radiated from the Buddha's palms, heels and lips symbolises the unshakable Wisdom of the Buddha's Teaching.

Without proper rendering support, you may see very small fonts, misplaced vowels or missing conjuncts instead of Tibetan characters. The national flag of Bhutan ( Dzongkha: ཧྥ་རན་ས་ཀྱི་དར་ཆ་) is one of the national symbols of Bhutan. The flag is based upon the tradition of the Drukpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and features Druk, the Thunder Dragon of Bhutanese mythology. The basic design of the flag by Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji dates to 1947. A version was displayed in 1949 at the signing of the Indo-Bhutan Treaty. A second version was introduced in 1956 for the visit of Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuk to eastern Bhutan; it was based upon photos of its 1949 predecessor and featured a white Druk in place of the green original. The Bhutanese subsequently redesigned their flag to match the measurements of the flag of India, which they believed fluttered better than their own. Other modifications such as changing the red background color to orange led to the current design, in use since 1969. The National Assembly of Bhutan codified a code of conduct in 1972 to formalize the flag's design and establish protocol regarding acceptable flag sizes and conditions for flying the flag."

The tree which not only provides sustenance and shade to man but also adds colour to his environment is truly one of the most precious gifts of Nature. Primitive man had the highest regard for the tree because in his view it was another animate being. Like a being, the tree also has a soul and thus it could, when hurt or damaged, feel pain, or even bleed. A Buddhist monk is prohibited from cutting down a tree or having a tree cut down not only because it has life but because it could also be the abode of a deity. The Vinaya Pitaka, the Book of the Discipline, which lays down rules for the proper behaviour of monks, states specifically that there is an offence of expiation, pacittiya, for the destruction of vegetable growth, by which is meant five different kinds of propagation: what is propagated from roots, from stems, from joints, from cuttings and from seeds. How the Buddha was made to lay down this rule of training is also recorded in the Vinaya Pitaka. Once people began to criticize certain monks for cutting down trees and having them cut down in order to make some repairs at a shrine."

There are five Olympic rings in five colours (plus the white background) and they look like this: It's generally known that the five interlocking rings represent the five continents of the world (the Americas are considered as one, North and South, along with Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia). It is less well known that the colours were introduced by father of the modern Olympic Games himself, Pierre de Coubertin, in 1912 to represent each and every colour that appeared on the flags of the Olympic's competing nations at that time. It was his desire to combine the colours - including the white background - with the symbolic 'interlocking' to create \"\"truly an international symbol\"\". The colours don't adhere directly to any particular continent as you might think. Does that still hold today? Well, not quite. Even if you forgive different shades of blue and try to lump orange and yellow together, you still have countries like Bhutan whose orange and yellow flag (and cracking dragon - Druk) wouldn't be represented. Still, it's an abiding symbol built around the very idea the Games were founded on, so I think we can forgive that.

The inner unit tonic muscles The inner unit refers to the functional synergy between the deep muscles of the core. The inner unit is composed of the Transversus abdominis, the posterior fibres of the Obliquus internus abdominis, the diaphragm, the pelvic floor muscles, the Multifidus and lumbar portions of the Longissimus and Iliocostalis. These muscles have their origin or insertion at the vertebrae and generate little or no movement during activation. Contraction of these deep core muscles provides segmental stabilisation of the spine. The outer unit phasic muscles The outer unit consists of many muscles such as the Obliquus externus, Obliquus internus, Erector spinae, Latissimus dorsi, Gluteus muscles, the Quadratus lumborum, adductors and hamstrings. The outer unit muscles have an important stability function when the body is under load (lifting weights) or during high-speed movements. The outer unit controls the range of motion, generates movement and provides gross stability. The inner unit The inner unit muscles are tonic muscles that function as stabilisers.

You can't do much about your genetics, but you can change your diet and burn fat with exercise. A balance of aerobic and strength-training exercises can help you burn fat and build muscle for a slimmer, firmer body. Do at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise each day, five days each week. The American College of Sports Medicine reports that you may have to exercise longer each week or more intensely to lose weight.

No, we need discipline here?and that means properly timed meals to give a little helping hand to the natural processes that are stimulated by intense exercise. After a weight training session, your muscles will have been traumatised and at a microscopic level there will be tears and damage to the tiny fibres that make up each muscle. All this means that the real muscle building happens outside the gym!The recovery stage begins immediately after exercise and is in full effect for around 24-48 hours afterward. By timing your intake of nutrients to key 'windows' it is possible to radically increase the effectiveness of each exercise session on muscle growth. Taking a combined bodybuilding protein and carbohydrate drink or meal straight after training has been shown to kick start several well known processes that result in anabolism (or muscle growth). The 'window' of opportunity is open up to half an hour after exercise?yes, its not a hard and fast rule?but the sooner the post work out meal is taken, the quicker the 'recovery' processes are assisted.

Hey Skinny, looks like it’s time for some push-ups!So, you live on pasta and bagels right? Running isn’t a real sport!After more than 14 years of running experience – in high school, college, and ever since – I’ve heard every insult and misconception that exists about the sport of distance running. Some are true (yes, our shorts are short), but most are false. Running has a bad reputation that seems to be exaggerated by some fitness circles that don’t understand the right way to train for road races like the 5k, 10k, or even the marathon. Indeed, running is a one-dimensional form of exercise that has the potential to create specific weaknesses or imbalances. Flash back about 40 years and you’ll see that runners ran a lot of miles at a slower pace – and did little else in the general fitness and strength departments. The conventional wisdom insists that marathoners are doing the same today. If we look even further back in history – back to the 1950s when Roger Bannister became the first man in history to run a sub-4:00 mile – training looked wildly different. Instead of high mileage and sparse speed workouts, runners favored low mileage and high intensity."

When performed regularly, this core-strengthening exercise can help improve your balance, posture, athletic performance and make daily tasks easier. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Crunch Correctly To maximize the benefits of the crunch, it's important to perform them with correct form. Lie on your back on an exercise mat, bend your knees and put your feet flat on the mat. Put your hands behind your head or just behind your ears, then flare your elbows out to the sides. Tighten your stomach muscles and pull your belly button toward your spine. Without tilting your tailbone upward, exhale and lift only your shoulder blades and upper back off the mat. Curl up off the mat and pull your rib cage toward your pelvis."

"text": "\"Strength Abs The Best Exercises for Core Strength Build your core to build a better body By Elizabeth Quinn | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated March 05, 2018Share Pin Email Print Studio Firma/Stocksy United The best core exercises may surprise you. It's not enough to just do ab crunches and sit ups. To build a strong core you need to exercise a variety of muscles, from your hips to your shoulders. Most people think of the core as a nice six-pack or toned abs. But the abs have very limited and specific action, and what experts refer to as the \"\"core\"\" actually consists of different muscles that run the entire length of the torso. When these muscles contract, they stabilize the spine, pelvis, and shoulder girdle and create a solid base of support for powerful movements of your extremities. Core conditioning exercise programs need to target all these muscle groups to be effective. What Are the Core Muscles? Experts vary in which muscles they consider to be the core muscles. Some include the muscles of the pelvic floor."

"text": "\"By Jen Mueller , Spark People Blogger 11/14/2008We always talk about the importance of rest when it comes to your exercise routine. Your body needs that time to recover, and your overall health and fitness level will benefit from non-exercise days. But how much rest is too much? Research from the University of Missouri at Columbia found that only two days of inactivity are enough to cause the size of fat cells to increase by 25%! Surprised? Although this research was done on animals, the same could be true for people. I've often heard that after 48 hours, your fitness level can start to decrease. That's one reason why it is important to stay regular with your workouts. I find that if I take too many rest days in a row, it's harder to get myself back to the gym (both physically and mentally). And when I do make it back, that same workout is usually a little more challenging than it was just 3 or 4 days before."

The Four Types of Exercise Program Strength and Resistance Training – these exercises are used to improve muscle and bone strength. Flexibility Exercise – to improve joint and muscle range of motion, keeping you nice and supple like those incredibly bendy gymnasts (among other things). Cardiovascular Exercise / Aerobics Training – this type of exercise program is designed to improve physical endurance and personal stamina. Balance / Core Workouts – exercises designed to improve the balance and co-ordination, whilst increasing abdominal strength.

A Thigh muscle strain refers to a tear in the Quadriceps muscle group. The Quadriceps are located at the front of the thigh and are responsible for extending (straightening) the knee. The Quadriceps group is made up of four muscles: Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Vastus Medialis. Usually, the muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue becomes torn during an activity such as sprinting or kicking a ball. A tear in a Thigh muscle is referred to as a Thigh strain and depending on its severity it is classified as a first, second or third degree strain:a first degree strain is damage to a few muscle fibresa second degree strain is damage to a more extensive number of muscle fibresa third degree strain is a complete rupture of the muscle itself Top of Page Thigh Muscle Strain Signs & Symptoms With a grade one Thigh strain the signs may not be present until after the activity is over. There may be a sensation of cramp or Thigh tightness and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted. With a grade two Thigh strain there is immediate pain which is more severe than the pain of a grade one injury and produces pain on walking. It is confirmed by pain on stretch and contraction of the muscle. A grade two Thigh strain is usually sore to touch."

A Lady Goes West, you’ll often see the names of several Les Mills group fitness programs that I teach, and there’s one that pops up from time-to-time that I’ve not yet fully explained — CXWORX. According to the folks at Les Mills International in New Zealand, who are responsible for creating CXWORX, the program can be described as:“The intensely challenging 30-minute core workout that gets you results where it counts the most. ”CXWORX is one of the newer Les Mills programs and has only been around a few years. It’s grown in popularity and is typically tacked on to the end of other Les Mills programs to make a great full-body workout. What kind of workout is CXWORX? CXWORX is all about building core strength, improving functional fitness of the abdominals, mid-section, and glutes, as well as working the cross-slings, which run from the upper to lower body. Basically, CXWORX targets everything from the mid-thigh up to the shoulders, which is an area also known as your trunk. It’s not exactly weight-lifting, and it’s not exactly cardio."

Proper stance width is vital for power, accuracy, consistency and injury prevention. You may feel that instruction on golf setup is tedious, but, as we’ll discuss here, correct setup is vital for enabling proper movement in the golf swing. The number 1 cause of a faulty golf swing is poor setup. What’s more, it’s the one thing that, with a little practice, you can get 100% correct every time, and so be sure to increase your chances of success with every shot. There is a lot of conflicting instruction on the correct stance width for the golf swing, most of it is misleading and some of it can be harmful. Coming into impact, there are enormous forces being generated, especially on the left side of your body. If your joints are misaligned this will lead to discomfort, wear and tear of your joints, and various potential injuries to your back, hip, and knee. These injuries can be avoided by using your body correctly, starting with proper stance width."

What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on using both the mind and body to achieve optimum performance. The deep stabilizing muscles of the body are conditioned and strengthened using sequences of movements that use gravity, body weight and specially designed equipment as forms of resistance. The connection between the mind and body is crucial to Pilates. Pilates trains the mind to maintain a constant level of awareness of the way the body moves. This results in a greater control of motion and vastly improved technique. The History of Pilates Pilates is named after German born Joseph Pilates (1912-1967), a man who overcame his own childhood weaknesses through developing and practicing his own regime of exercises. According to the Pilates Foundation website, Mr Pilates apparently suffered with asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever. He worked as a circus performer, boxer and self defence instructor in the UK in 1912."

The muscles are located on the midsection of the trunk and are mostly deep muscles. Activation of these muscles is possible by recruiting the right fibers in the movement. Physical Therapists and Pilates instructors are trained on how to teach to activate these important muscles. Training the core muscles will prevent injuries and teach you good mechanics when either working or exercising properly. One of the most used core exercises is the plank. It is an isometric contraction but the muscles are working. Try regular and side planks to increase your core first before graduating to harder core exercises. The main core muscles include the transverse abdominus, obliques and erector spinae, but there are many other muscles that can be considered as core."

See below for more information about what factors combine to allow one coding specialist to make more than another. The credentials of a medical coding professional, a Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) or a Certified Professional Coder (CPC), increases the potential for greater salary. Income potential for professional coders also depends on the size of the hospital or clinic where they work, and amount of high-quality medical coding experience. It's possible to have years of experience only doing one specialty, but the best medical coding professionals are those who have the ability to code both inpatient and outpatient procedures for all specialties.

Medical records have traditionally been paper-based documents containing a patient’s health information and history from birth to death. The healthcare industry has slowly been evolving from paper-based records to computer-based records; electronic record systems aid caregivers and providers in the ability to improve the quality and efficiency of services. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »With this transition from paper to electronic health records (EHR), there are many opportunities for those who have the knowledge, skills and understanding of health information management. Health information must be accurately captured, completed and maintained, protected from inappropriate disclosure, and available when needed for continuity of effective patient care. It is also a vital component used for research, statistical data analyses and trending, coding and reimbursement. In short, the information maintained by registered health information technicians is central to the efficacy of health care.

Medical coders work in different types of settings including physician offices, hospitals, nursing homes, surgery centers, dental offices, home health care agencies, or other health care facilities. Medical coders rely on their knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, diagnosis, and procedures to translate medical documentation into standardized codes. Medical coding is a major factor in obtaining insurance reimbursement as well as maintaining patient records. Coding claims accurately lets the insurance payer know the illness or injury of the patient and the method of treatment.

Its purpose is simply to identify potential areas where a CRNA may need additional education. For the first CPC exam, CRNAs will maintain their certification, even if they do not meet the performance standard. Additional continuing education will be required in any area of weakness. Right now, this would be taking an additional Core Module, but the NBCRNA is considering other options as well. The Second CPC Examination All nurse anesthetists who currently hold the CRNA credential will need to achieve the passing standard on the second CPC Examination by 2032/2033, depending on an individual’s CPC cycle. Nurse anesthetists will be allowed four attempts to achieve the passing standard on the CPC Examination prior to their 2032 or 2033 deadline.

For example, if an X-ray is performed or blood is taken, those services would also be represented by medical codes on your bill. There are thousands of medical codes – one for nearly every type of health care service, procedure and even for medical equipment. Medical coders spend their days reviewing medical records to assign these codes and ensure that the health care providers they support are properly reimbursed for services. Physicians and hospitals depend on accurate coding to receive proper reimbursement, making the role of the coder a valued one. Coding accurately is not easy. The coder must carefully read the doctor’s and nurse’s notes to precisely determine the services received by the patient. The coder must also understand private payer policies and government regulations for accurate coding and billing. By some estimates, inaccurate or incomplete coding costs the doctors thousands of dollars each year in lost payments. Without competent coders, providers run the risk of losing revenue."

I am presently enrolled for my Associates Degree in Health Information Technology. Can anyone offer any insight into the difference in salary between a CCS and RHIT? I see alot of job postings everywhere and they ask for a CCS and/or RHIT. I'm kind of confused as to the difference in the work place. Thanks!

I am waiting until I graduate this winter to get a job, but as I was saying, I check out the pay rates in these jobs. RHITs can make between $30,000 and $45,000 per year and coders can make up to $65,000 per year here in Florida."

"text": "Medical Coder Average Salary$45k - 65k Years Higher Education0-2Job Outlook Very Good When you visit your doctor, your medical insurance provider will receive a bill containing medical codes, including CPT, ICD-10 and possibly other codes. For example, if an X-ray is performed or blood is taken, those services would also be represented by medical codes on your bill. There are thousands of medical codes – one for nearly every type of health care service, procedure and even for medical equipment. Medical coders spend their days reviewing medical records to assign these codes and ensure that the health care providers they support are properly reimbursed for services. Physicians and hospitals depend on accurate coding to receive proper reimbursement, making the role of the coder a valued one. Coding accurately is not easy. The coder must carefully read the doctor’s and nurse’s notes to precisely determine the services received by the patient. The coder must also understand private payer policies and government regulations for accurate coding and billing. By some estimates, inaccurate or incomplete coding costs the doctors thousands of dollars each year in lost payments. Without competent coders, providers run the risk of losing revenue."

"text": "How to Become a CPCS or an ACS (Clinical Supervisor Certifications)May 10, 2017 by Ruby Blow Supervision Certification – A Requirement in Georgia In Georgia, Licensed Professional Counselors who provide supervision need to meet certain qualifications. At the time of this post (May 2017) the requirements are less stringent than they will be on and after October 1, 2018. The current (2017 through September 30, 2018) requirements are as follows: A person who is licensed as a professional counselor can supervise if they have been licensed for a minimum of 3 years after obtaining their LPC if they have a master’s degree in the field. If the LPC has a specialist degree in counseling (which is typically offered in Education such as School Counseling) programs, then the LPC needs to be at least 2 years post LPC license. Lastly, a person who has completed a doctorate degree in counseling and is licensed as an LPC cannot provide clinical supervision to others until they are at least 1 year post licensure. On and after October 1, 2018 LPC’s who provide supervision for those pursuing their LPC license must have a certification as a supervisor. In Georgia we have 2 options for certification: Become a CPCS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor). Become an ACS (Approved Clinical Supervisor). How to Obtain the CPCS? The CPCS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor) is a credential created and managed by the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia (LPCA-GA)."

Good news.. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has issued a notification on 13 th July,2015 regarding the usage of Electronic Verification code for verifying the Income Tax Returns (ITRs) that are filed electronically. If you e-verify your Income Tax Return using EVC, no need to mail (post) ITR V physical copy to CPC Bangalore. In this post let us understand – What is Electronic Verification code?

"text": "ICD-10 Corner: Prostate Cancer By Lauri Gray, CPC, RHIT November 16, 2011For some codes there is a one-to-one match between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM. In ICD-10-CM, primary malignant neoplasm of the prostate is reported with code C61, which is a one-to-one match with ICD-9-CM code 185. However, for metastatic prostate cancer, codes for the site of the metastasis are more specific in some cases. Secondary sites requiring more specificity include the lungs ( C78.01 right or C78.02 left), kidneys ( C79.01 right or C79.02 left), other urinary organs ( C79.11 bladder or C79.19 other urinary organ), bone and bone marrow ( C79.51 bone or C79.52 bone marrow), adrenal glands ( C79.71 right or C79.72 left). Metastases to the lymph nodes ( C77 .-), liver ( C78.7 ), and other genital organs ( C79.82) all have one-to-one matches between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM. Lauri Gray has worked in the health information management field for 30 years. She began her career as a health records supervisor in a multi-specialty clinic. Following that she worked in the managed care industry as a contracting and coding specialist for a major HMO.

Experiences with Promoted Listings vary widely, as do overall opinions of this important tool. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand Promoted Listings, and I’ve had pretty good success, so far. Here’s actual data from my Promoted Listings between mid-September 2014 and December 2014. During this time, I spent just over $600 on Promoted Listings. I earned more than $3,000 in revenue as a direct result of the $600 investment!In this article, I’ll show you how to get started with Etsy Promoted Listings, and I’ll share what’s working for me. How do Promoted Listings Work? When shoppers search for items on Etsy, the results of the search include both normal (non-paid) listings and Promoted Listings. In the example below, I searched for the phrase “burlap print”. Two listings from my shop, Busy Bee Burlap, appeared on the first page of the results."

"text": "ICD-10 Corner: Adverse Drug Effects By Lauri Gray, CPC, RHIT September 14, 2011In ICD-10-CM, the drug causing the adverse effect is the first-listed diagnosis during the acute phase of treatment with the adverse effect listed as a secondary diagnosis. One other element that affects code assignment for adverse effects and poisonings is the episode of care which is captured by the 7th character extension. Episode of care options are A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter, and S for sequela. Initial encounter (A) is used while the patient is receiving active treatment for the adverse effect. This would include: emergency department encounter, the entire hospitalization for the treatment of the acute active phase of the adverse effect, physician evaluation and treatment during the hospitalization for the acute phase, and any physician consultations during the acute phase of treatment.

Find Out Now Designed for experienced coders, the AAPC's specialty credentials enable coders to demonstrate superior levels of expertise in their respective specialty disciplines. These specialty credentials are stand-alone certifications with no requirement to hold the CPC ® credential. They allow coders to validate their knowledge in a specialty with unique coding, reimbursement and compliance challenges. Specialty exams aptly measure preparedness for “real-world” coding by being operative/patient-note based. In addition to questions regarding the correct application of ICD-10-CM, CPT ®, HCPCS Level II and modifier coding assignments, examinees will also be tested on specialty-specific coding and regulations. Bonus: Maintaining an AAPC specialty credential just got easier. Specialty CEUs now count towards both your specialty credential and your CPC ®, COC ™ (formerly CPC-H ®) or CPC-P ®.

"text": "Medical Billing and Coding Salary Averages by State Those who commit themselves to a career in medical billing and coding can expect good job prospects and healthy salaries well into the future. Employment of medical records technicians and health information technicians, which includes medical billing and coding specialists, is expected to grow 13% between 2016 and 2026, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Job prospects for all such technicians will be very good, with the best job prospects available for those who have a solid grasp of technology and have a thorough understanding of computer software, the BLS notes. How Much Do Medical Billers and Coders Earn? The national median salary for medical records technicians and health information technicians as of 2016 was $38,040, according to the BLS. However, salary data suggests that medical billers and coders who have earned additional credentials could have greater earning power. The American Academy of Professional Coders 2016 Salary Survey showed that coders who had earned the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential earned an average wage of approximately $52,690, according to the AAPC website. That average was a 2.4% increase from the previous year. The salary survey also showed that coders with two or more AAPC credentials earned an average annual salary of $60,305 in 2016, while those with three or more credentials earned $66,999 per year on average. It’s not just credentials that influence the medical billing salary potential."

"text": "Cracking the Code: A Guide to Understanding Counselling Credentials (Or, What Do All Those Letters Behind Their Names Mean, Anyway? ) By Megan Sutherland November 26, 2012I have a huge amount of empathy for anyone trying to find a counsellor in the Vancouver area. Vancouver’s most notable counselling directory, Counselling BC boasts that they have over 500 therapists listed on their site. While Vancouver is resource-rich when it comes to counseling and psychotherapy, how does one narrow down one’s search? Making a decision can feel overwhelming, with so much choice available. I’m passionate about the importance of finding a counsellor who is right for you . Making that choice, however can get extra-confusing when we’re trying to decipher what all the letters behind counsellors’ names mean. I thus present a humble guide to helping you crack the code and better understand a counsellor’s credentials. I welcome corrections from mental health professionals if anything is in error. I also note that in this article I’ll be referring to the most common credentials seen in Vancouver, British Columbia, the city I’m from and where I have my counselling and psychotherapy practice."

Recognizing what is unique and special about the BSW degree can be of great value in helping you market yourself in today's difficult job market. First, the BSW is often the only bachelor's level degree that requires an internship or field placement. While field placements don't carry the weight of paid employment, they do count as practical experience and should be placed on your r‚sum‚. If you have little or no paid work experience, the internship allows you to relate actual practice experience during an interview and can provide you with a reference other than a college professor. This type of reference is most important, because prospective employers want to know what you are like on the job, not what you are like in the classroom. Secondly, the BSW is the only bachelor's level human service degree that has its educational programs accredited by a national accrediting body, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). None of the other professions accredit at the bachelor's level-only at the master's level."

"text": "Bachelor’s Degrees in Social Work The path to becoming a qualified social worker in the United States usually starts with a bachelor's degree in social work from an accredited institution. The bachelor's degree in social work normally takes four years to complete, and includes both in-class coursework and supervised field experience. Bachelor’s programs instruct students in the values and ethics of social work while familiarizing them with the policies of social welfare, methods of social research, and field education that observes human behavior in social environments. This field experience is key to the program, since all accredited programs require 400 hours minimum of field experience conducted under professional supervision. As a student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social work, you can expect courses in social work practice, issues in social welfare, history and philosophy of social welfare, diversity and the struggle for human rights, promotion of social and economic justice, social welfare policy, social work practice, social research methods, and human behavior theory. You may also have liberal arts electives such as psychological studies, cultural anthropology, sociology, and biology. Many schools also include field assignments or internship components, which provide students with a broad range of experience in human service agencies including child welfare agencies, community centers, detention centers, domestic violence agencies, medical and psychiatric hospitals, schools, nursing homes, mental health clinics, youth service agencies, substance abuse agencies, and residential treatment facilities. In addition to a four-year bachelor's degree in social work, all social workers must pass a bachelor-level examination monitored by the Association of Social Work Boards. Each state has different requirements, but the exam generally includes 170 multiple-choice questions. In 2015, the national pass rate for first-time test takers at the bachelor level was 77.5 percent [ 1]. Master’s Degrees in Social Work Master’s programs are pursued by many social workers, especially since these programs help students develop new and more advanced forms of social service skills."

After some research, the good news is that the fitness test is very similar to law enforcement fitness tests used by many federal and local police agencies. Also, DOG stands for Deployable Operations Group (DOG) and is considered the Coast Guard Special Ops Team. After September 11, 2001, the Coast Guard became part of Homeland Security and developed the DOG in order to establish a single command authority to rapidly provide the Coast Guard, DHS, Do D, Do J and other interagency operational commanders adaptive force packages drawn from the U. S. Coast Guard's deployable specialized force units. These six units, under a single command, create an organized quick reaction force that can be deployed to handle natural disasters, environmental catastrophes, terrorism and other threats to the United States and the world. The groups that are under DOG are the following: MSRT -- Maritime Security Response Team The premiere counter--terrorism teams of DOG are interoperable with DOD Special Operations Forces with port security, maritime interdiction, and other high threat events.

On February 6, 2007, President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the creation of U. S. Africa Command. The decision was the culmination of a 10-year thought process within the Department of Defense (Do D) acknowledging the emerging strategic importance of Africa, and recognizing that peace and stability on the continent impacts not only Africans, but the interests of the U. S. and international community as well. Yet, the department's regional command structure did not account for Africa in a comprehensive way, with three different U.

The Coast Guard itself was moved to the Department of Transportation in 1967, and on 25 February 2003 it became part of the Department of Homeland Security. However, under 14 U. S.

From 1790, when the Continental Navy was disbanded, to 1798, when the United States Navy was created, these \"\"revenue cutters\"\" were the country's only naval force. United States Revenue Cutter Service [ edit]Initially, the \"\"system of cutters\"\" was not an organized service."

The Coast Guard consists of three ships and four aircraft and armed with small arms, naval artillery, and Air Defence weaponry.

Foremost of these are the National Security Unit, which handles intelligence operations and the special unit Víkingasveitin, a highly trained and equipped counter terrorism unit which is part of the National Police force. Additionally there is a Crisis Response Unit (ICRU), operated by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which is a small peacekeeping force that has been deployed internationally, since 2008. This unit also has an unarmed component. There is a treaty with the United States, regarding the defense of Iceland, which until 2006 maintained the Naval Air Station Keflavik.

"text": "\"civ_1102Copper Member Members086 posts Gender: Not Telling Report post Posted July 23, 2009I am having a debate with a colleague of mine. This is for a civilian agency. Requirement is for repair of a small marine vessel (to transport employees between an island work location and mainland port). My colleague swears up and down that the repair of a boat should be construed as construction. I pointed my colleague to FAR 2.0 definition of construction, which explicitly excludes building and repair of any vessel from construction. Am I missing something here? Is there some empirical detail that would make a difference? My FBO search for the applicable NAICS showed many ship repair requirements being solicited as commercial, which means they are not construction.formerfed Gold Member Members0740 posts Gender: Not Telling Report post Posted July 23, 2009The FAR definition of construction has the precise answer for you:\"\"?

"text": "\"Back to News- Tweet Tuesday, January 24, 2017John F. Kelly Former Marine Corps General John F. Kelly, who rose from the enlisted ranks to lead the United States Southern Command, was confirmed on January 20, 2017, to be Secretary of Homeland Security with the Senate voting 88-11. He was sworn in later the same day. Kelly was born in Boston on May 11, 1950, and grew up in the neighborhood of Brighton. His taste for adventure manifested itself early; Kelly hitchhiked across the country and rode a freight train from Seattle to Chicago. He also served in the Merchant Marine, saying that his first trip overseas was to deliver beer to soldiers in Vietnam. In 1970, with the likelihood that he’d be drafted, Kelly enlisted in the Marine Corps. He didn’t get to Vietnam with the Corps, though. He was assigned to the Second Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and mustered out in 1972 as a sergeant. Kelly then returned to Boston for college with the idea of returning to the Marine Corps as an officer. He graduated in 1976 from the University of Massachusetts and went into Officer Candidate School."

However, not until after World War Two did the new Department of Defense have its first Secretary of Defense. The Mission of the Department of Defense is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of our country. The department's headquarters is at the most well-known military base in the world – The Pentagon in Washington DC. In this series, there is information about the military bases across the United States in each of our fifty states.01 California Military Bases•••California is home to more than 30 military installations and over 168,000 of our war fighters and allow for training on bases in all areas of warfare: land, air and sea.

Inauguration takes place upon the commencement of the President serving their term of office. President Washington was sworn in by Robert Livingston, the Chancellor of the State of New York, at the Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City. Washington wrote to James Madison:\"\"As the first of every thing, in our situation we serve toestablish a Precedent. It is devoutly wished on mypart, that these precedents may be fixed on trueprinciples. \"\" Washington 's second inauguration ceremonies took place on March 4, 1793, with William Cushing, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, administering the oath of office in the Senate Chamber of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since that time, presidential inaugurations have been held (with few exceptions) on the 4th of March every four years through and including the year 1933. In 1933 the Twentieth Amendment of our Constitution (which sets the beginning and ending dates for elected federal official's terms) was ratified. Section 1 of the Twentieth Amendment states:\"\" The terms of the President and Vice President shallend at noon on the 20th day of January, and the termsof Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3dday of January, of the years in which such terms wouldhave ended if this article had not been ratified; and theterms of their successors shall then begin. \"\" From January 20, 1937 to (and including) January 20, 2009, presidential inaugurations have been held (with few exceptions) every four years on the 20th day of January."

The medal recognizes service performed by members of the reserve components and is awarded to both officers and enlisted personnel. The medal is considered a successor award to the Naval Reserve Medal and the Marine Corps Reserve Ribbon, which were discontinued in 1958 and 1967 respectively. If the medal is awarded for periods of service, it is accompanied by an hourglass device. Depending on the length of service, a bronze, silver, gold, or bronze and gold hourglass are worn on the suspension ribbon and service ribbon, indicating 10, 20, 30, or 40 years of service respectively. If the medal is awarded in connection with a mobilization, it is accompanied by an \"\"M\"\" device. Subsequent mobilizations under an unrelated presidential call-up order result in a numeral device being worn to indicate the number of mobilizations. Contents [ show]For service – the Hourglass device Edit In the Army Reserve and National Guard, a service member qualifies for the medal after completing a total of ten years service in the active reserve. This service may be cumulative, provided that the combined ten years of service was performed over a period of twelve consecutive years. Voluntary recalls to active duty are not counted within the ten years of service."

A GNSS typically consists of three segments: the satellites orbiting the Earth, stations on the ground to track and monitor the satellites, and users who rely on the satellites to compute their position and motion. There are several independent GNSS in operation today: GPS, operated by the USAGLONASS, operated by Russia Bei Dou, operated by China Galileo, operated by the European Union About GPSGPS is based on a constellation of 24 to 32 satellites operated by the U. S. Department of Defense (Do D). They circle 22,000 km (14,000 miles) above the Earth twice a day in precise orbits. The satellites constantly transmit coded information in the UHF band (1.575 GHz) back to GPS receivers on the ground. There are two GPS services: the Precise Positioning Service (PPS) that the Do D reserves for itself and authorized partners for security reasons, and the Standard Positioning Service (SPS) available free for all worldwide civilian users. The Department of Defense, to maintain a strategic advantage, used to intentionally degrade the accuracies of the SPS or civilian GPS system. However, it stopped doing so in 2000 to encourage more development of GPS technology which in turn would yield economic and social benefits. About GLONASSGLONASS is the satellite navigation system operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. There are approximately 24 GLONASS satellites in operation orbiting at a similar altitude as GPS satellites."

[ 9]History [ edit]On 22 December 1945, in War Department Circular 383, the United States Army decided to introduce the \"\"V\"\" device to distinguish the award of a Bronze Star Medal for acts of valor and heroism rather than meritorious service. [ 10] Soldiers including Army airmen who were awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroism in combat, were now authorized to wear a bronze \"\"V\"\" on the suspension and service ribbon of the medal. Only one \"\"V\"\" was allowed to be worn on a ribbon. The Department of the Navy introduced the \"\"V\"\" as the \"\"Combat Distinguishing Device\"\", and on 15 February 1946, authorized the \"\"V\"\" device to be worn on the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star Medal for services or acts performed in actual combat with the enemy; in February 1947, this was changed to acts or services involving direct participation in combat operations. Most World War II veterans who were entitled to the \"\"V\"\" probably did not know about or apply for the device, since large scale separations from the services were taking place after the war ended."

God reached down to Jonathan, the son of the king, and knitted his heart to the heart of David. Apart from salvation, perhaps, God gave to David the greatest gift that He can give to a human being. That is the gift of a friend. When Jonathan was knitted to David, he immediately gave to David five things.

"text": "Magazine Who Gets to Graduate? By PAUL TOUGH MAY 15, 2014Vanessa Brewer Bill Mc Cullough for The New York Times For as long as she could remember, Vanessa Brewer had her mind set on going to college. The image of herself as a college student appealed to her — independent, intelligent, a young woman full of potential — but it was more than that; it was a chance to rewrite the ending to a family story that went off track 18 years earlier, when Vanessa’s mother, then a high-achieving high-school senior in a small town in Arkansas, became pregnant with Vanessa. Vanessa’s mom did better than most teenage mothers. She married her high-school boyfriend, and when Vanessa was 9, they moved to Mesquite, a working-class suburb of Dallas, where she worked for a mortgage company. Vanessa’s parents divorced when she was 12, and money was always tight, but they raised her and her younger brother to believe they could accomplish anything. Like her mother, Vanessa shone in school, and as she grew up, her parents and her grandparents would often tell her that she would be the one to reach the prize that had slipped away from her mother: a four-year college degree. There were plenty of decent colleges in and around Dallas that Vanessa could have chosen, but she made up her mind back in middle school that she wanted to attend the University of Texas at Austin, the most prestigious public university in the state. By the time she was in high school, she had it all planned out: She would make her way through the nursing program at U. T., then get a master’s in anesthesiology, then move back to Dallas, get a good job at a hospital, then help out her parents and start her own family. In her head, she saw it like a checklist, and in March 2013, when she received her acceptance letter from U. T., it felt as if she were checking off the first item."

Send correspondence to Jacqueline Guidry, MD, 602 Heights Blvd #8, Houston, TX 77007; email: [email protected]. Abstract A vital step in the career of a physician is applying and interviewing for a position in a residency program. Unfortunately, the costs associated with this process are often not anticipated by fourth-year medical students. The authors collected data on these costs from fourth-year medical students in Texas (N=274) during 2012-2013. Results suggested that the average cost of this process was significant (M=$4783). The costs varied greatly, depending on the medical specialty for which the fourth-year medical student applied, with a range exceeding $12,000. Most students (60%) paid for these costs with personal savings."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Academic dress of King's College London, designed by Vivienne Westwood The academic dress of the United Kingdom and Ireland has a long history and has influenced the academic dress of America and beyond. The academic square cap was invented in the UK as well as the hood which developed from the lay dress of the medieval period. Irish academic dress is virtually the same as that in the United Kingdom given the common history and proximity of each other. Many other Commonwealth countries also follow British cuts and design of academic dress, most notably Australia and New Zealand though some are beginning to evolve away from British cuts such as Canada of which University of Toronto has slowly introduced American gowns that close at the front. There is a distinction between different types of academic dress. Most recently, gowns, hoods and caps are categorised into their shape and patterns by what may be known as the Groves classification system, which is based on Nicholas Groves 's document, Hood and Gown Patterns. [ 1] This lists the various styles or patterns of academic dress and assigns them a code or a Groves Classification Number. For example, the Cambridge BA style gown is designated [b2] and a hood in the Cambridge full-shape is designated [f1], etc. Because the universities are free to design their own academicals using a wide range of available gown, hood and cap patterns, colours and materials at their and the robemaker's disposal, the academicals of two given universities rarely clash with each other. The Burgon Society was founded in 2000 to promote the study of academic dress. ["

Brad Doherty“T he question of the day is: Are you smart?” professor José Saldívar announced at the start of class. “ Don’t just give me a yes-or-no answer. Tell me why.” Seated in a sparkling new classroom at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s Edinburg campus, with rolling chairs in the school colors — blue, green and burnt orange — students inched closer together to debate the value of innate ability versus hard work. Their conversations might have occurred in any first-year seminar, but for one key difference: They took place in both English and Spanish, often at the same time. The bilingual course I visited is a pilot for an initiative known around campus as B3 — “bilingual, bicultural, biliterate” — that aims to transform the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) into the United States’ first comprehensively bilingual public university. The project’s goals, proponents say, are far-reaching: to not only produce the bilingual professionals in high demand along the Texas-Mexico border, but also to begin to redress a historical legacy of what queer Chicana theorist Gloria Anzaldúa, a Valley native, calls “linguistic terrorism” against border Spanish speakers denied the legitimacy of their native tongue."

"text": "\"Home :: Graduation Cap and Gown Etiquette Printable version Graduation Cap and Gown Etiquette History | Why do we wear caps and gowns? It all started in the often unheated buildings of the middle ages, long gowns were necessary for scholars to ward off the cold. Academic dress for graduations started in the 12th and 13th centuries when universities first began forming. Whether a student or a teacher, standard dress for scholars was clerical garb. Most medieval scholars had made certain vows, and had at least taken minor orders with the church so clerical robes were their main form of dress to begin with. In 1321, the University of Columbia mandated that all Doctors, Bachelors, and Licentiates must wear gowns. In the latter half of the 14th century, excess in apparel was forbidden in some colleges and prescribed wearing a long gown. By the time of England's Henry VIII, Oxford and Cambridge began using a standard form of academic dress, which was controlled to the tiniest detail by the university. Not until the late 1800s were colors assigned to signify certain areas of study, but they were only standardized in the United States. European institutions have always had diversity in their academic dress, but American institutions employ a definite system of dress thanks to Gardner Cotrell Leonard from Albany, New York."

The master's gown sleeve is oblong and, though the base of the sleeve hangs down, it is square-cut at the rear part of the oblong shape.

These are garments which are traditionally worn for every commencement that is being exercised in the university. The tradition has long been started which can be traced back even during the middle centuries. The garments has been worn by scholars who got to study in exclusive universities back then. Over the course of time, the tradition of wearing the garments has been carried over even until the modern day. The academic regalia generally consist of graduation gowns, academic caps, graduation hoods and stoles. Every garment has its own symbolic mark and purpose that is significantly used during the graduation ceremony. For example, academic caps have tassels attached on them which are then flipped to the other side to symbolically initiate the transition from being a student to finally becoming a graduate. There are instances, however, that the graduates confuse themselves of how a garment ...

"text": "Alb An alb, called a sticharion in Orthodox churches, is a plain, lightweight, ankle-length tunic with long sleeves. It is generally worn with a rope cincture around the waist. The word alb is short for the Latin phrase tunica alba, which means white tunic; accordingly, albs are usually made of white or undyed fabric. In the first century, the tunic was the first article of clothing that you put on in the morning. Working-class people wore knee-length tunics, while older people and people with less active occupations wore ankle-length tunics. It was possible to wear more than one tunic at a time for warmth, but it was considered gauche to wear a tunic without a cincture. The tunic was originally sleeveless. Greeks and Romans thought sleeves were barbaric because barbarians wore them. ( The barbarians lived in colder climates.) Tunics did not acquire sleeves until the third century, when a Roman Emperor came back from a military campaign wearing a tunic with sleeves—much to the horror of the fashion mavens of the day."

UT Athletics Among the memorabilia displayed in the offices of the Prairie View Interscholastic League Coaches Association is a photograph of L. C. Anderson High School’s 1942 state championship football team. The black-and-white photo has been enhanced so the uniforms appear bright yellow, as befits the school’s Yellow Jacket mascot. The Dec. 12, 1942, issue of the Austin American contained a short three-paragraph description of Anderson’s title game, while reserving the top of that day’s sports page for the big news: “Austin Blasts Way Into State Semi-Finals. ”“Austin,” in this case, referred to L. C. Anderson’s cross-town analog, Austin High School, and 14 days later, after a season reported by the Austin American in painstaking detail, Austin High won the University Interscholastic League state football championship. The university’s most prized institution is now in the hands of a black head coach. And everyone is watching. During the five decades that both the University Interscholastic League and the Prairie View Interscholastic League existed, 1942 was the only year in which Austin claimed both leagues’ state championship teams. Austin High and L. C. Anderson were Austin’s only high schools in 1942."

According to the Gladwin Thesis, this ancient journey occurred, particularly about 75,000 years ago and included Black Pygmies, Black Negritic peoples and Black Australoids similar to the Aboriginal Black people of Australia and parts of Asia, including India. Ancient African terracotta portraits 1000 B. C. to 500 B. C. Recent discoveries in the field of linguistics and other methods have shown without a doubt, that the ancient Olmecs of Mexico, known as the Xi People, came originally from West Africa and were of the Mende African ethnic stock. According to Clyde A. Winters and other writers (see Clyde A. Winters website), the Mende script was discovered on some of the ancient Olmec monuments of Mexico and were found to be identical to the very same script used by the Mende people of West Africa. Although the carbon fourteen testing date for the presence of the Black Olmecs or Xi People is about 1500 B. C., journies to the Mexico and the Southern United States may have come from West Africa much earlier, particularly around five thousand years before Christ. That conclusion is based on the finding of an African native cotton that was discovered in North America. It's only possible manner of arriving where it was found had to have been through human hands. At that period in West African history and even before, civilization was in full bloom in the Western Sahara in what is today Mauritania. One of Africa's earliest civilizations, the Zingh Empire, existed and may have lived in what was a lake filled, wet and fertile Sahara, where ships criss-crossed from place to place.

Barton'According to an archeologist who recently participated in archeological work in Mexico, One of the most ancient civilizations in the Americas, the Black (Negritic) Olmecs developed a calendar that goes back to about 3,113 years Before Christ. The archeologist who appeared on the Art Bell show made that point. The ancient \"\"Olmecs\"\" of Mexico and Mesoamerica are one of the most intriguing civilizations of the Americas . In fact, they are the first civilization in Mexico and it was from them that all other civilizations in Mesoamerica followed. Yet, the fact that the Olmecs were most likely a Black civilization of African origins has not been made public and the \"\"Indian\"\" elements in Mexico have gained more prominence to the extent that the Negroid substrata of the ancient Mexican/Mesoamerican civilizations has been kept hidden. Yet, over the past many years, various levels of proof have been found linking the \"\"Olmecs\"\" to Africans in the Western part of Africa . ' Linguistic Similarities Studies done by researchers such as Ivan Van Sertima (They Came Before Columbus), Alexander Von Wuthenau (Unexpected Faces in Ancient America), Runoko Rashidi and others have presented evidence that clearly show that the Olmecs were not Indians with \"\"baby faces,\"\" or Indians who looked like Blacks (although a few Olmecs did mix with the Native Americans). They were Africans no different from Africans found in the Mende regions of West Africa . Studies done by Clyde Winters show that the Olmecs used the Mende script, a writing system used among the Mandinkas and other Africans in West Africa . When the writings on Olmec monuments were translated, it was found that the language spoken by the Olmecs was Mende."

In some cultures it is considered very polite (even expected) to ask \"\"where are you going?\"\" to a person you see passing by; in others it is considered impolite to ask that same question. In some cultures if you are asked \"\"how are you\"\", you are expected to say \"\"fine\"\"; in others, you are expected to give an honest explanation of how you are feeling. In some situations, it can be impolite to use any greeting at all; for example, in many cultures it is considered respectful to wait for the other person to greet you first, in some situations it may be impolite to speak to certain people, and in many cultures it can be impolite to greet a person whom you have already greeted earlier in the day (since this implies that you have forgotten about the first greeting)."

"text": "The Dogon Tribe The Dogon Tribe lives in the Homburi Mountains near Timbuktu in the southwestern portion of the Sahara Desert in Africa. Central to their religious teachings is knowledge about the Sirius star system, which includes a star which is invisible to the naked eye and, in fact, so difficult to observe -- even through a telescope -- that no known photographs were taken of it until 1970. The Dogon, however, do no claim a superior technology, but say they received their knowledge by visitors to the earth from another star system. According to < http://www.mm2000.nu/sphinxv.html >, the star the Dogon described is Sirius B, apparently a white dwarf star. Astronomers of the Modern breed had begun to suspect something as early as 1844, based on irregularities in the movement of Sirius A. By 1862, a faint companion star was finally detected, and it was assumed that its extreme density and heaviness was sufficient to exert an influence on Sirius A. Long before this, of course, The Dogon had already named Sirius B, “Po Tolo”, a name which includes the word for star (tolo) and “po”, the name of the smallest seed known to them. They had in fact described the star’s size by noting that it was, “the smallest thing there is.” They also had recognized that it was both white and “the heaviest star”. The Dogon were also able to describe its elliptical orbit with Sirius A at one foci of the ellipse (an accurate description), its orbital period of 50 years (the actual figure is 50.04 +/- 0.09 years), and the fact the star rotated on its own axis (it does). Significantly, The Dogon also described a third star in the Sirius system, which they called “Emme Ya” (“Sorghum Female”), and which contained a single satellite in orbit around Emme. The Dogon idea of their being a Sirius C, aka Emme Ya, was not accorded any real respect until 1995, when two French Astronomers published their results, after years of study, of what was apparently a small, red-dwarf star within the Sirius star system [1] The conclusion was based on perturbations in the orbits that could not be explained by any other means."

"text": "\"Did the Dogon Know about Sirius B?by D. M. Murdock/Acharya SMany people believe that the world was visited in antiquity by aliens. They cite the African tribe of the Dogon, who supposedly received knowledge of the invisible companion to Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. What is the truth? Did this remote tribe in Africa really receive extraordinary knowledge from extraterrestrials? In my article about the entities called \"\" the Anunnaki ,\"\" I provide the mythological background of these Sumerian deities, as opposed to the current \"\"ancient aliens\"\" theory. A related subject is the so-called mystery of the Dogon people and the star Sirius, a theory also popular within UFO circles. This \"\"Sirius mystery\"\" purports to show that this African tribe possessed extraordinary \"\"alien\"\" knowledge of an invisible, tiny, white and heavy stellar \"\"companion\"\" to the night's brightest star, called \"\"Sirius B\"\" and nicknamed \"\"the Pup,\"\" as Sirius itself is the Dog Star. This white dwarf star was discovered in the late 19th century and could not have been known before the modern era and sophisticated astronomical instruments. Thus, it has been asserted, as by Robert Temple in The Sirius Mystery, the Dogon must have been visited by aliens from Sirius who conveyed the astronomical secret to them. However, as is often the case, things with the Dogon story are not what they seem to be, and there exists a natural explanation for this apparent coincidence. \"\""

The major stage in African life is the transition from child to adult when they become fully institutionalized to the ethics of the group’s culture. Rites of passage are for this reason critical in nation building and identity formation. ( Shahadah)Marriage is a rite of passage Historically, in addition to the recurrent daily and seasonal patterns of African life and community,great ritual distinction is placed on the nonrecurring moments of personal life. These moments, which have been happening since the beginning of time, mark times of new beginning and transition from one life stage to another for the individual by dramatizing the transience of individual existence,It takes a village to raise a child– African Proverbwhile highlighting the social symbols that give the community its identity and integrate the person into a larger sphere of meaning. Click to Visit Ocacia Shop Rites of passage thus serve a double purpose; preserving the ongoing community as a symbol of collective immortality and permanence as well as providing a clear and guided means for transition from one life stage and sphere of responsibility to another. They thus confirm the hierarchies of values of the community and project an ideal sequence of personal development the individual can look forward to and upon reaching each stage, evaluate his or her maturation against a collective standard. African initiation rites link the individual to the community and the community to the broader and more potent spirit world. Initiation rites are proven to be a necessary extension of many communities and are as necessary and natural as are arms and legs are a natural and necessary extension of the human body. Rites of passage provide the African with the foundation of his or her being: Identity."

C. The wide variety of uses for masks, which included rituals of myth, creation, and hero worship; fertility rituals for increase; agricultural festivities; funerals or burials; ancestor cults; initiations, and entertainment, serves to prove that their usage has been extensive for hundreds of African tribes ( Black 25). Cave paintings on rock walls from Tassili, Algeria, Fezzan, Libya, and the Bushmen of South Africa are the oldest evidence for the existence of African masks. The Tassili images of dancers with masks were brought to public attention by the expedition of the French explorer, Henri Lhote, even though an Arab traveler, Ibn Batuta, wrote about the images in 1352. These famous paintings suggest that masks in Africa have been used for at least 4,000 years (Mack 39). Eric Herold estimates these images to have been created by nomadic herdsmen possibly between 3500 and 1500 B. C. ( World 9). However, some scholars believe, as Segy has reported, that masks of animal heads were used by Paleolithic man at least 35,000 years ago ( Black 44). Thus, there is much ambiguity about the origins of African masks, and there is also no evidence to show a continuous connection between these rock paintings and the African masks of the last two centuries, which are seen in museums and photographed for art books. In fact, many popular types of masks are only one hundred years old, while others are mysterious in their origins. In attempting to date the oldest mask that we have from Africa`s past, Robert Bleakley has written: The earliest three-dimensional tribal artifact known to have been produced in West Africa is a number of terracotta figures from the Nok culture in Nigeria. Through carbon-14 testing, these figures have been shown to date from circa 360 BC and parallel the arrival of the Iron Age in South and West Africa. ("

Castellfollit de la Roca Castellfollit de la Roca is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the region of Catalonia in Spain. It is built onto the basalt cliffs between two rivers. Most of the buildings seem to be hovering on the very edge of the cliff, providing the illusion that they could tumble down at any moment. The whole village is less than one-half of a square mile in size. The oldest parts of the village were built in the Middle Ages, made up of narrow streets and dark corners.

Most foreign vehicles coming to the UK have 2 axles on the tractor and 3 on the trailer, which limits them to a weight of 40 tonnes both here and in their home state. The maximum individual truck length is 12 metres, articulated truck and trailer length is 16.5 metres and road trains are allowed up to 18.75 metres. The maximum width for all is 2.55 metres. If a vehicle has an overall height of 3 metres or above, a notice is required must be displayed in the cab showing its full height. The main vehicles used to transport goods by road are Articulated Lorries (Artics). These consist of a tractor unit with a turn-table device which can be linked to a trailer. With or without a trailer, the Gross Combination Mass - the combined prime mover and trailer - must exceed 3.5 tonnes. Artics have different types of trailers, including: Flatbed trailer - used for almost any kind of cargo, but goods need to be protected from the elements and theft Tilt trailer - like a flatbed trailer, but with a removable PVC canopy Curtain-sider - the mainstay of road haulage, this has a rigid roof and rear doors - the sides are PVC curtains that can be drawn back for easy loading Box trailer - an entirely rigid unit, with loading through back doors - a secure option for valuable goods Road train - a rigid vehicle at the front, which pulls a trailer behind it Swap-body system - built to accommodate standard cargo containers - allows containers to be swiftly transferred during intermodal transport Low-loaders - often used for transporting heavy machinery and other outsize goods - set low to the ground for easy loading Vans are frequently used to transport smaller cargoes shorter distances. While goods are being transported, drivers are responsible for the security of goods and compliance with weight and similar restrictions."

"text": "\"Motorists warned about problems hiring cars abroad By Brian Milligan Personal Finance Reporter27 April 2015Share DVLAPaper counterparts to driving licences will not be valid after June 8 2015Motorists going abroad after 8 June are being warned they may need to take a special code with them if they want to hire a car. From that date the paper counterpart of British driving licences - which records endorsements and fines - is being computerised. Anyone wanting to hire a car abroad could need a code to show convictions for offences like speeding. To obtain it, motorists will have to log on to the DVLA website beforehand. But the code is only valid for 72 hours, so anyone wanting to hire a car more than three days into their trip may need to generate a new code while they are abroad. For those who do not have internet access, a phone number will also be made available. However, the code is not an official requirement and it will depend on the individual hire company's terms whether or not it is required. The RAC said many drivers were unaware of the changes. \"\" Our research shows that with just over a month to go before the paper counterpart to the photo-card licence disappears, 55% of drivers are not aware of the planned change,\"\" said RAC spokesman Simon Williams. ' Belt and braces'The DVLA recommends destroying paper counterparts after 8 June."

"text": "Are there any special requirements for driving or hiring a car in UAE? Cars in the United Arab Emirates drive on the right hand side of the road with overtaking on the left. Remaining aware at all times is vital in the UAE as local drivers have a reputation for being fast and reckless and often you'll find yourself overtaken on both sides. Because of this the Emirates have some of the world's highest accident and driving death rates. Avoiding the rush hours in the cities as much as possible is a good idea as this is when people are at their most volatile. If you plan to see the incredible deserts surrounding the UAE then choose a 4x4 vehicle. Other safety precautions should be taken. Let people know where you are going before you leave, travel in a convoy of vehicles and always carry lots of food and water with you. Having a good map is very useful but constant road works mean they rarely stay up-to-date. You may wish to get a GPS to be on the safe side."

Also the person involved must provide the other driver (s) with the necessary information required. The information that you are required to provide is your name, address, driver’s licence number, your vehicles insurer, the policy number, the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle, and the permit number. If you fail to comply with any of these requirements, you may be guilty of “fail to remain”. Due to the severity of this offence, you could be facing some very harsh penalties. Penalties upon conviction for Fail to Remain are:7 demerit points$200.00 - $2000.00 fine A possible suspension of your driver's licence for a period of no more than 2 years A possible term of imprisonment for up to 6 months Careless Driving is a charge that is laid most often when someone has been involved in a collision. It is a very broad charge that covers many different situations. A brief description of the charge is driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention or without a reasonable consideration for other people using the highway. As the description of this offence is so broad, it is left up to interpretation of the court. Retaining legal representation for a careless driving charge is paramount as the penalties for this offence are very severe."

If you plan on driving in France, the good news is that France recognises driving licences issued by a large number of countries. But France has strict road laws and rigorous driving instruction, even if you see driving habits that suggest otherwise. Before you drive in France, it's important to learn the road rules and French driving licence regulations to help you steer clear of trouble. France has made significant strides in improving road safety in past years, partly through an increase in speed-trap radars and in the use of alcohol testing on the roads and even inside bars and nightclubs. But while the highways are definitely safer for car drivers, statistics have shown teenagers, anyone on two wheels, and pedestrians should take care. This guide answers some FAQs about driving, owning and parking a car in France: Driving licences Importing a car Car registration, taxes and vehicle inspections Driving rules and speed limits Traffic offences Parking Car insurance and breakdowns Renting, sharing or buying a car in Germany. Who can drive in France? You can drive in France using your foreign driving licence for to 12 months. If your licence is not from the EU or is in a language other than French, you will also need an official translation of your licence or an international driving licence/permit (which provides a French translation)."

"text": "Once upon a time, things were fairly straightforward if you wanted to get around on two wheels. First, you popped down to the Post Office, handed over 10/- (50p) and got yourself a provisional licence. Then, armed with a couple of L-plates from Halfords and a second-hand helmet, it was down to a dealer or a search through the local rag to purchase some wheels. Another £10 bought you a year’s TPF&T cover and off you went. When you felt confident (or cocky) enough and you’d memorised most of the important bits of the Highway Code, you booked a test at the local centre. There, you’d hand over another 10/- (50p) and then ride around the block in a thoroughly upstanding manner whilst trying to avoid the bloke with the clipboard when he jumped out into the road in front of you. Assuming that you missed him and didn’t drop the bike, you were pretty much assured of getting the valued “Pink Slip” and the road to 1000cc power and some very dodgy-handling bikes was yours. Times have changed!Training is now very much the name-of-the-game, and what you need and how much of it depends basically upon your age and the type of two-wheeled vehicle you want to or are allowed to ride. I’ll explain. The Department of Transport currently (November 2003) classifies all powered two-wheeled vehicles as either mopeds or motorcycles."

Points may either be added or subtracted, depending on the particular system in use. A major offense may lead to more than the maximum allowed points being issued.

I only recently started using them on my i Phone, and after the initial excitement of sending dolphins and whales to my friends (not sharks -- there's a baffling dearth of shark emojis on the i Phone), I started to wonder what exactly some of these emojis were supposed to represent. Although I haven't yet gotten to the bottom of the case of the missing shark, I did stumble upon something called Emojipedia, which breaks down what all the emojis were originally supposed to mean.

The bubbly little smileys and cartoon images originally associated with Japanese culture have become a language, picking up quirks and localizations along the way. Generally speaking, they convey ideas or emotions and do so in a cute, inoffensive manner. Even when they are risque or dirty, the simplistic art means they come with a certain charm. It’s like a little kid picking up on a swear word without realizing the meaning. But that innocence is nowhere to be found in Emo-Emoji. The brainchild of Le Messie, most noteworthy for his work with Lupe Fiasco, Emo-Emoji are the rebellious teenage years of digital communication. I was first pitched on Emo-Emoji during the madness of the Sony hack, while fingers were still being pointed wildy, mostly landing on North Korea because of the depicted death of the country’s leader in the Interview. The set of stickers were heavy on imagery surrounding the film and Kim Jong-un, including him riding a tandem bike with Dennis Rodman. Another shows Seth Rogen dressed as the dictator with James Franco holding a gun to his head."

Some are very popular; some art not. If you've spotted them while using the app, you might be a bit curious to know exactly what these Snapchat emoji meanings can tell you about your friendship. First of All, What Exactly Is a Snapchat Friend Emoji? The Snapchat app tracks your messaging habits with your friends – both to individuals and groups – and then assigns an emoji to them, which represents the current status of your level of interaction. As you continue to send and receive messages, the emoji will change over time. Likewise, if you stop messaging for a while, the emoji may disappear completely. Snapchat Friend Emoji Meanings Each emoji you see beside a friend's name means something about your friendship on Snapchat (not necessarily your friendship in real life, of course). There are currently six different emoji you'll be able to see, which include: Two pink hearts: If you see the two pink hearts beside a friend's username, it means that this friend has been your number on a best friend on Snapchat or your \"\"Super BFF\"\" for a whopping two months in a row. It also means that you have been that friend's number one best friend out of all of their friends as well, for two months."

"text": "What Does The Upside Down Face Emoji Mean? Here's Everything You Need To Know About It By Mehak Anwar Jan 18 2016There are some emoji in this world whose meanings couldn't be clearer — the taco emoji is meant to depict a taco, the lips usually indicate flirtatious kissing, and a red heart shows a love that burns deeply and true. But there are some emoji that don't have such apparent meanings or obvious interpretations. For example, what does the upside down face emoji mean? The little critter made its way into our sparkling pink hearts with the i OS 9 update back in October and has been piquing our interests and showing up on our keyboards ever since. Of course, the upside down face emoji isn't the only emoji with a vague or fluid meaning. No one really knows what to do with the wind-blowing face, for example, and I've seen the face without a mouth used in several different ways. Other emoji people remain hopelessly confused about include the information desk person, the man in a business suit levitating, all the uses for all the cats, all the uses for all the trains, and the most baffling one I've personally encountered, the oil drum. Because really, how would anyone know that's an oil drum? It's just a small, blue cylinder!"

"text": "\"By Ferne Arfin Updated 05/17/17Share Pin Email Why would you want to know the British word for zucchini? Well, imagine you've just settled in for a posh restaurant meal and ordered a dish of exotic sounding courgettes? How disappointing then to be served up a plate of something you had to be bribed to eat as a child. You may encounter strange names in Britain for perfectly ordinary things you already eat at home. Some of the things British people eat take foreign visitors by surprise and are definitely acquired tastes. Crisp butties (sandwiches made of US-style potato chips), beans on toast and pineapple or canned corn on pizza are just a few. But, most of the time, the ordinary things British people eat are not that different from what North Americans cook up regularly all the time. They're just traveling under assumed names. So, in the interests of helping you cross the American/English language barrier to find the foods you already know and like, to discover the marrow that vegetarians can eat and pickles that aren't cucumbers, I've put together this handy guide.

"text": "Courgettes, Marrows and Squash Cucurbita pepo History | Europe and the Squash | Squash Species | Nutrition | Seeds as food | Growing Also see pumpkin recipes, courgette recipes and butternut squash curry (half way down the page for the curry)History The name 'squash' derives from the Massachusett Native American name 'askutasquash' meaning eaten raw. As any vegetable grower will tell you, there are a baffling number of different species of squash or 'Cucurbita' to use their grouped botanical name. The most common species grown in the UK is 'Curcurbita Pepo' and includes the courgette, marrow and certain pumpkins. Another species, 'Cucurbita Moschata', is thought to be the earliest species, with fossilised remains found in Mexico dating back to 5000BC, and in Peru from 3000BC. Plants in this group include one of my particular favourites, the Butternut Squash. Europe and the Squash All squashes owe their lineage to the new-world, and the early Spanish invaders in the 16th Century were the first to bring them over to Europe. However it seems that it was the Italians who first decided to eat immature marrows, or as they called them, the Zucchini. The name courgette is originally a French word and was only ever refereed to in Italics, denoting it as a foreign word, in English cookery books. This was until the food writer Elizabeth David dropped the Italics in the 1950’s, meaning it was really excepted as a British vegetable. It was similar in the United States, the courgette being introduced by Italian immigrants and perhaps a testament to this is that in America it still bears the Italian name ‘Zucchini’."

"text": "A panini is a popular type of grilled sandwich made on Italian bread. Technically, the singular form of the word in Italian is panino, which does refer to a stuffed-bread sandwich, but this term is not commonly used in English speaking countries. Traditionally, it is made by stuffing either a loaf of bread or two slices of hearty bread with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and any other additions the cook chooses. These sandwiches have become quite popular grilled, though it is not absolutely necessary. People who do wish to grill the sandwich may want to butter or brush the outside of the bread with extra virgin olive oil to give it a crispier texture. Some cooks use a panini press to grill the sandwich, which is essentially a two-sided grill. This method may also be accomplished by placing the sandwich on a grill, pressing down firmly with a spatula, and then flipping the sandwich over and repeating the process. Of course, a cook can use any type of bread to make this sandwich, but it is important to use a relatively dense bread that will hold up well on the grill. Foccacia, ciabatta, and sourdough breads are popular, along with herbed varieties. Thick slices of Italian or French bread will also work well."

Well Carlie, it’s called blossom end rot. I’ve had to deal with blossom end rot in tomatoes before, and it is sooo frustrating. You think you are going to get tons of beautiful red tomatoes, and then you lift them up to find they’ve all turned on you. It’s maddening. But, did you know that blossom end rot can happen in your zucchini and squash too? It’s a little less common, but still, better to take precautions than lose a whole crop, right? Blossom end rot happens for pretty much one reason: a calcium deficiency. The thing is, pretty much the only thing you can do for end rot is to prevent it."

Choose zucchini plants for pruning that have at least four zucchini squash growing on the vines. Do not prune the zucchini plants any earlier than this or you risk interrupting the fruit production of the plants. Clip the largest leaves from these zucchini plants with the pruning shears.

Originally grown in parts of South America, at the time it was primarily grown for its beneficial seeds since the wild variety didn’t have much flesh and tasted very bitter. In fact, the ancient zucchini vegetable didn’t even have much resemblance to the kind that we see available in most supermarkets today. A favorite among low-carb dieters and anyone who wants to lose weight fast, zucchini has a very low score on the glycemic index. Due to its high water percentage, zucchini is low in calories, carbs and sugars, but high in essential nutrients like potassium, manganese, and antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A. To add more filling volume to your meals with little extra calories, you can use zucchini in a variety of different cuisines and recipes: a healthy raw snack, dip, side dish or even vegetarian entrée (see recipe suggestions at bottom). Zucchini Nutrition Facts Even though most people use zucchini like other vegetables — for example, adding it to savory dishes with herbs and protein sources — botanically speaking, it’s actually a fruit. Zucchini belongs to the species Cucurbita pepo and is related to certain other squashes and pumpkins. All summer squashes are members of the Cucurbitaceae plant family, which includes squash relatives like melon, spaghetti squash and cucumbers. These all have similar large seeds and grow above the ground on short plants. Zucchini can come in dark, light green or white spotted varieties and is also closely related to the hybrid vegetable known as yellow squash (or “summer squash”) that has a bright golden or deep-orange color."

It's a complicated family of produce, but as the season winds down, we figured you might want to know what the difference is and which varieties are best. Summer squash is a peculiar vegetable. For one thing, it’s not any one vegetable, comprising many different cultivars of a few different species of edible plant. For another, it isn’t actually a vegetable. Summer squash is technically a “pepo,” a type of hard-walled berry. ( Cucumbers and watermelon are both more accurately described as a pepo as well.) But as a descriptor, “summer squash” very accurate: all fall somewhere within the squash family, and—unlike the butternut squash or pumpkin—they are in season during the summer. At farmers markets, all the available summer squash varieties are usually piled together and available for the same price. While they have many similarities, the different varieties do differ a bit in their texture, flavor, and ideal use, so it makes sense to learn a little bit about summer squash before just grabbing the zucchini."

At that time the country was ruled by war lords who carried their banners into battles. The native people, however, made their own flags to honor the nature gods of Bon, their shamanistic religion. They used colors of the five elements: blue for sky or space; white for air or clouds; red for fire; green for water and yellow for earth. They hung the flags over mountain passes and rivers to benefit all who would pass underneath. When Buddhism was introduced to Tibet in the 7th century, it brought the ideals of peace and compassion Within the next century Buddhism largely took the place of Bon, while absorbing many of its characteristics including the flags The early flags contained both Buddhist prayers and pictures of the fierce Bon gods who they believed protected Buddha.. Over the next 200 years Buddhist monks began to print mantras and symbols on the flags as blessings to be sent out to the world with each breeze. Thus they became known Prayer Flags. In the ensuing years, Tibet was ruled peacefully by a succession of spiritual leaders, the Dalai Lamas. Millions of men and women entered the thousands of monasteries to dedicate their lives to the practice of Buddhism, and the people of Tibet were thoughtful, daily practitioners of this compassionate, loving religion."

For the early Christians, flowers were regarded with great suspicion and associated them with decadent pagans. In Islam, the beauty of each flower is a symbol of God’s spirit. During the Middle Ages, the Christians appreciated the beauty of nature and regarded this as proof that God created the world. In America, church-goers would sniff fennel to help keep them awake during the long sermons. For thousands of years, art and speech were used in culture and religion through flowers. Flowers are also used in many different Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter. From the second century, sexual intercourse was considered a “sin” by the Christian church, but animals had no souls so their sex was ok since people needed more animals to survive, especially domesticated ones.

Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity. Dharma prints bear traditional Buddhist symbols, protectors and enlightened beings. As the Buddhist spiritual approach is non-theistic, the elements of Tantric iconography do not stand for external beings, but represent aspects of enlightened mind i.e. compassion, perfect action, fearlessness, etc. Displayed with respect, Dharma prints impart a feeling of harmony and bring to mind the precious teachings. The prayer flag tradition is ancient, dating back thousands of years in India and to the shamanistic Bon tradition of pre-Buddhist Tibet. Bonpo priests used solid colored cloth flags, perhaps with their magical symbols, to balance the elements both internally and externally. The 5 colors of prayer flags represent the 5 basic elements: yellow-earth, green–water, red-fire, white-air, blue-space."

Please look at the following picture. Let's study it.1. The 108 prayer beads represent 108 times of the recitation of the buddhist mantra words. Usually we use spacers to mark the mala as Four parts, each part 27 beads. Also sometimes we use space beads to make a mala long enough for wrist wearing or neck wearing.2. When pass a bead by left hand, recite one time of the mantra words, then continue the next bead. No need to recite the mantra when pass the space beads."

Although Tibetan Buddhism is often thought to be identical with Vajrayana Buddhism, they are not identical - Vajrayana is taught in Tibetan Buddhism together with the other vehicles. History Buddhism became a major presence in Tibet towards the end of the 8th century CE. It was brought from India at the invitation of the Tibetan king, Trisong Detsen, who invited two Buddhist masters to Tibet and had important Buddhist texts translated into Tibetan.

"text": "Stupas Symbols of Enlightenment Stupas are sacred monuments that embody the enlightened mind. The word “Stupa” is a Sanskrit word that literally means “to heap” or “to pile up.” The Monnier Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary says the stupa is “…a Buddhist monument, (generally of a pyramidal or dome-like form created over sacred relics of the historical Buddha (563-478 BC) or on spots consecrated as the scenes of his acts); a relics shrine or relics casket.” It goes on to say that ‘stupa’ was originally a topknot of hair, designating the upper part of the head, but subsequently became used as an architectural term, indicating a monument of a dome-shaped form over the sacred relics of the Buddha or other saints or venerable persons. The connection between Shakyamuni and a topknot is apparent since he is often depicted as having such a topknot symbolizing his attainment of Enlightenment. Stupas were found in India before the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni where mounds of dirt were built around a tree as a tomb for the remains of important figures such as kings and heroes. It’s said that the Buddha was the one who changed that practice when he asked that his own remains be placed within stupas that would represent the Awakened Nature, as a reminder of the potential for enlightenment within us all. The Power of Stupas Because every element of a Buddha’s physical body is pervaded with the pure energy of Enlightened Mind, the teacher’s remains after cremation are considered sacred. One sign that a teacher is an enlightened manifestation is that relics will be found in the ashes that resemble small, round pearls which can be white, red, or brown. These are often the relics that are put inside stupas being built today."

"text": "The Origin and Meaning of the Buddhist Flag Origin of the Buddhist Flag The Buddhist Flag, first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. There appears to have been a controversy over as to who designed the Buddhist Flag. Some give the credit to Henry Steele Olcott, a retired American Army Colonel to Sri Lanka in May 1880. Olcott embraced Buddhism and joined the Buddhist revivalist movement and pioneered Buddhist education. He initiated the establishment of close to 400 Buddhist schools and colleges in Sri Lanka. Ananda, Nalanda, Mahinda and Dharmaraja stand as monuments to his pioneering efforts. In 1884, the Buddhists succeeded in getting the British rulers to declare Vesak Poya Day as a Public Holiday as from May 1885. At this stage the Buddhists established the ‘Colombo Committee’, and Olcott was indeed one of its members, but there were also more than ten other eminent members of the Sri Lankan laity and sangha. This committee set about the task of evolving a Buddhist Flag to be hoisted on Vesak Full Moon Day, 28th May 1885, the day declared as a Public Holiday, for the first time. Thus it is this committee that jointly designed the Buddhist Flag and the then Secretary of the Committee presented it to the public as approved by the ‘Colombo Committee’ on 17th April 1885."

"text": "Home » Classroom Buddhist Prayer Bead Colors By James Stuart; Updated September 29, 2017Monks often wear malas around their necks when not praying. The 108 beads of the mala, or Buddhist string of prayer beads, are used to count prayers while serving as a reminder to concentrate on their meaning. These prayer beads are traditionally brown, but also come in a variety of colors that symbolize different aspects of Buddhist thought and practice. Differences Since no prescribed color for Buddhist prayer beads exists, there is no single accepted color scheme. Instead, the differences in color and materials are typically a result of region and denominations. For example, Tibetan Buddhists typically use wood, shell or amber beads, causing these malas to take on a brightly-colored appearance that is further highlighted by the semi-precious stones used as dividers. In contrast, Japanese Buddhist prayer beads are almost always uniformly wood and take on darker, reddish-brown colors. Meaning Whenever possible, Buddhists seek seeds from the sacred bodhi tree -- a kind of fig tree -- to make their prayer beads. This is because Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment and became the Buddha while sitting under the bodhi tree. This kind of bead often has a lighter brown color."

Update Cancel Answer Wiki9 Answers Quora User, Londoner, IT MSc Student, Geek Answered May 13, 2012As a French I always thought that this name was quite inapropriate because 95% of the bread that we eat is based on the baguette type of bread which is very different from what you call bread. If you ever tried a real baguette at some point, you understand the difference of texture between that and a what you call a toast. We can find the toast-type bread but it is mainly use for toast during the \"\"apéritif\"\" (pre drink and food before a meal, pronouce 'apereeteef'). Regarding the name, nothing is called \"\"French toast\"\" (or \"\"Toast français\"\" for that matter) but if you refer to the fact of spreading something on the bread, then we call that \"\"tartine\"\" (pronounce 'tarteen') what you call \"\"French toast\"\". Finally, \"\"Pain perdu\"\" (Lost bread) or \"\"Pain doré\"\", (Golden bread) which are the same thing in France, consist of using the rest of an old baguette. The baguette is cut in slice, dipped in milk, eggs (and floor if I remember well) and cooked in a pan until it looks \"\"golden\"\". It is delicious, but we don't eat that very often. I hope my answer was satisfactory and \"\"bon appétit\"\"! :) 7.9k Views · View Upvoters Thank you for your feedback!Your response is private."

"text": "Understanding flour types181 Comments Bread baking tips Flour quality and type are the essence of good bread. It all begins with buying the right kind for your recipe!Getting good quality flour is the easiest way to improve the way your bread will look and taste. Flour from supermarkets tends to be very white, often old, lacking in taste and natural enzymes, and, most important, not very useful for bread baking (at least over here in Holland). We get our flour from a windmill, which gets its wheat from the center of The Netherlands. They then grind it on big stones, powered by wind. The flour has an EKO (organic) seal of approval, a very nice yellowish hue from the natural carotene and it tastes of fresh grass and wheat berries. The flour is so fresh we have to ‘store’ it for 2 weeks to improve the baking properties and water absorption ability. We are very lucky to have found great bread flour so close to home. How much difference it makes is also shown in our flour experiment for which we baked the same loaf with both high quality flour from a mill and cheap supermarket flour. This flour overview teaches you more about flour types and how they are referred to in different countries."

"text": "Functional Food What French Kids Eat For School Lunch (It Puts Americans To Shame! ) Rebeca Plantier August 11, 2014 — 16:42 PMShare on: I walked into the dining room to see tables of four already set — silverware, silver bread basket, off-white ceramic plates, cloth napkins, clear glasses and water pitchers laid out ready for lunch. I was standing inside my children’s public elementary school cafeteria, or “cantine” as the French call it, in our local town near Annecy, France. As part of my research into why French kids aren’t fat, the local city council gave me a tour of the public school’s cantine and kitchen and let me ask any question that came to mind. There are many theories as to why the French, and French children in particular, do not suffer from weight problems, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension like their American counterparts. Eating moderate quantities of fresh and freshly prepared food at set times of the day is definitely one of the most convincing reasons why they stay lean. Daily exercise, in the form of three recess periods (two 15-minute and one 60-minute recess every day) and walking or biking to and from school, is another. So what do French kids eat at school? Menus are set up two months in advance by the cantine management staff, and then sent to a certified dietitian who makes small “corrections.” The dietitian might take out a small chocolate éclair and replace it with a kiwi for dessert if she thinks there's too much sugar that week."

A direct object pronoun is used to refer to the direct object of a previous sentence: Pierre voit le cambrioleur. Pierre sees the burglar. Pierre le voit. Pierre sees him. The following table shows the various types of direct object pronouns: French me, m' te, t' le, l' la, l' nous vous les English me 1 you 1 him, it her, it us 1 you 1 them Notes:1 me, te, nous, and vous are also used as indirect objects to mean to me, to you, to us, and to you respectively. The pronoun form with an apostrophe is used before a vowel. The direct object pronoun for nous and vous is the same as the subject. When the direct object comes before a verb in a perfect tense, a tense that uses a past participle, the direct object must agree in gender and plurality with the past participle. For example, in the phrase Je les ai eus, or I had them, the past participle would be spelled eus if the direct object, les, was referring to a masculine object, and eues if les is referring to a feminine object."

"text": "As you delve into the wonderful world of breads, you may be running into new baking terms and words that confuse you. So I am adding the basic ones here (in no particular order) as a quick and hopefully useful reference. This list will be added to at any time I run across a new unfamiliar term or people ask me. Autolyse Autolyse, pronounced “auto-leez”, is a period of rest allowed for dough to relax and hydrate. After the initial mixing of flour, water and (usually) yeast to incorporation, the dough is covered and allowed to rest, typically from 20 to 60 minutes. This rest period allows for better absorption of water and lets the gluten and starches expand and align, in effect beginning the dough development before any further mixing or kneading is given. Once the autolyse period is complete, the remaining ingredients (i.e. salt) are added and the final mix is given. Breads made with autolysed dough are easier to form into shapes and have more volume and improved structure. ( Based on Wikipedia)This is also the basis for the “ Bread in Five Minutes ” or “no knead” process; the dough is made and allowed to sit in the refrigerator for several days and you pull a portion out as needed. As it sits, it automatically develops the gluten, albeit much much slower than by kneading or Stretch & Folds."

"text": "\"Aug 21, 2002 #1kimmie Messages: 2,550Likes Received: 12The popular history behind French toast (aka German toast, American toast, Spanish toast) is that it was was created by medieval European cooks who needed to use every bit of food they could find to feed their families. They knew old, stale bread (French term *pain perdu* literally means *lost bread*) could be revived when moistened and heated. Cooks would have added eggs for additional moisture and protein. Medieval recipes for \"\"french toast\"\" also suggest this meal was enjoyed by the wealthy. Cook books at this time were written by and for the wealthy. These recipes used white bread (the very finest, most expensive bread available at the time) with the crusts cut off, something a poor, hungry person would be unlikely to do. Actually, recipes for \"\"french toast\"\" can be traced Ancient Roman times. One of the original French names for this dish is pain a la Romaine', or Roman bread. Apicius wrote: \"\"Another sweet dish: Break [slice] fine white bread, crust removed, into rather large pieces which soak in milk [and beaten eggs] Fry in oil, cover with honey and serve.\"\" ---Apicius Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome, edited and translated by Joseph Dommers Vehling , recipe 296 (p. 172) \"\"This dish does have its origins in France, where it is known as \"\"ameritte\"\" or *pain perdu* (\"\"lost bread\"\"), a term that has persisted, in Creole and Cajun cookery; in Spain it is called \"\"torriga\"\" and in England \"\"Poor Knights of Windsor,\"\" which is the same name for the dish in Denmark, \"\"arme riddere,\"\" and Germany, \"\"arme ritter.\"\""

"text": "Personalities Mar 28, 2005The French Paradoxby Josh Friedland The French diet is back in the news—how do French women manage to enjoy chocolate, wine, cheese and bread without gaining weight? Several top French food bloggers weigh in on the phenomenon. On Nov. 17, 1991, CBS’s “60 Minutes” broadcast a report on the correlation between French consumption of red wine and lower rates of heart disease. The segment popularized and legitimized the “French paradox”—the counterintuitive notion that a French diet of cheese, chocolate, and wine could be associated with improved cardiovascular health. Scores of Americans immediately went running to wine stores during the four weeks following the broadcast, resulting in a 44 percent increase in sales of red wine in U. S. supermarkets. Fast forward to 13 years later, and the paradox has surged back into the American popular consciousness in the guise of a diet book. Equal parts memoir, self-help guide, and cookbook, the hugely popular French Women Don’t Get Fat (Alfred A. Knopf, $22) by Mireille Guiliano, promises to reveal the mysteries behind French eating habits, weight gain, and “the secret of eating for pleasure.” Ms. Guiliano’s common-sense dietary prescriptions include eating in moderation, following dining rituals, cooking with fresh ingredients, shunning processed foods, drinking lots of water, and walking as exercise. American dieters, besieged by the restrictions of low-carbohydrate diets, are, literally, hungry for Ms. Guiliano’s instructions on how to enjoy bread, cheese, chocolate, and wine while still looking like Brigitte Bardot. Since French Women Don’t Get Fat was published in December, the book rose to as high as no."

It is sold in French supermarkets sliced and packaged.

It is made from wheat flour, water, salt, fat, sugar, yeast, fava bean flour, ascorbic acid, and emulsifiers. It is white inside, and the fat gives it a finer, tighter crumb than other French breads. It is usually made industrially, though it can be made at home by hand or with bread machines, just as we would. It is sold in rounded shapes or square, rectangular loaves. The French use it for toasting, for making fancy sandwiches with, and its shape and thickness makes it ideal for Croque-monsieurs. The square, rectangular loaves are cooked in lidded breadpans. The lids both ensure uniform slice sizes and, by constraining expansion of the dough, further help to ensure a tighter crumb."

Both Italy and France are countries that specialize in bread making. Sure, when we sit down to eat at a restaurant in the US we are given a bread basket to start off our dinner. But bread is essential to almost every meal in Italy and France. If bread supply ran out in either of these countries, you can expect riots in the streets. However, the two countries approach bread-making quite differently from one another. Baguettes, focaccia, brioche— all of these breads differ vastly in size, shape, and how they are served. Regardless of differences, as Americans, we enjoy these breads on a daily basis. If you want to know a little more about how these breads are created in their native countries and what sets them apart, take a look at what I have come up with below.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking International Cuisine What do French kids eat for breakfast? Flag What do French kids eat for breakfast? Answer by Arturoenk Confidence votes 1.6KIn general the French are not great eaters of breakfast. Traditionally bread with butter and confiture (jam or Jelly) and coffee has been the normal fare. However in the last fifty years the French breakfast has been changing particularly for children. In the 1960's the French dairy industry encouraged the consumption of dairy products notably yoghourts flavoured and non- flavoured and this has become a common product for children to eat at breakfast. Bread and confiture is still a staple and many households buy tartines or toasts (essentially a dried bread rusk) to eat at breakfast. Except in towns and larger villages it is often too far to go to collect fresh bread from the baker. The baker often delivers fresh bread to the household or to a depot de pain later in the day. The French now consume the breakfast cereals that are familiar in the USA and the UK but they tend to be regarded as food principally for children and are not much eaten by adults."

Eating vegan doesn't mean you have to give up French toast - try making it egg-free instead! You can also use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free and vegan dish, if needed. This easy egg-free vegan French toast recipe uses bananas instead of eggs, giving it a sweet flavor. And, by using bananas instead of eggs, you don't need to use a commercial egg replacer, so this is a great recipe if you don't happen to have any on hand. French toast is also great for any vegan brunch (or vegan BRINNER !) menu. Many people like to use a thickly sliced whole grain bread when making French toast, but this recipe works well with just about any kind you choose. Also note that the recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice, which is a great chef's \"\"secret ingredient\"\" in making homemade French toast, though a little bit of cinnamon is probably enough, and is what most recipes call for. But, as a vegan cook, you may like to make vegan recipes, such as this one, stand out just a little bit, and, if so, then the usual cinnamon is simply not enough!"

It has a diameter of about 5 centimeters (2 inches) and a usual length of about 65 centimeters (25 inches). The word baguette was not used to refer to this bread until 1920. The word, which originates from the Italianbacchetta, means “wand” or “baton”. A change in technology was partly responsible for the introduction of baguette. By the 1920s, most French bakeries were equipped with steam ovens that were needed to caramelize the starch on the surface of the loaf and give it a thin golden crust. The steam allows the crust to expand before it sets. It creates a lighter and airier loaf. It also melts the dextrose on the bread’s surface, which gives the slightly glazed effect. The first steam oven was brought to Paris in the early nineteenth century by Austrian officer August Zang, who also introduced Viennese bread ( pain viennois) and croissant."

"text": "The Importance of the Mississippi River in Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn Posted By: Taneicha Little John Posted date: June 20, 2014 in: Book Reviews Huckleberry Finn’s adventures are broadly based on the author Mark Twain’s attempt to relive his past life and journeys on the Mississippi. The story follows Huck and a runaway slave down the Mississippi river as the two try to escape their current life. Twain presents the river in many ways and compares and contrasts it to the current society. Twain seems to tell his readers that even though the river is a disguised route filled with criminals, society is not much different. Said to have been based on Mark Twain’s Memoir, Life on the Mississippi, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn follows the life of a young adventurous boy (Huck Finn) as he runs away from both his guardian, the Widow Douglas and his father Pap. He accidentally teams up with another runaway, a slave named Jim. As the two set off they hope to find freedom from different things; Huck from both the thought of being “civilized” and his drunken father, and Jim from his current life. Jim is a slave and is running away to become a free man so he can in turn free his family from slavery. The two unlikely friends journey down the Mississippi in what turns out to be a series of adventures filled with death, disguise and eventually not just the growth and maturity of their friendship but also of Huck. The river, on which their journey is set, is an important motif and acts as both the agent that brings the two closer to their destination as the motion that pushes Twain’s story along."

Flag What do dragons symbolize? Answer by Darkdragon Confidence votes 1.4KEuropean Dragons In western culture, the dragon is traditionally depicted as a powerful, mystical guard over treasure or a savage beast which likes to wreak havoc over the surrounding countryside. This negative image comes from the use of the word to describe Satan in the Bible. Oriental Dragons In eastern culture, the dragon is a benevolent symbol, representing wisdom and power, usually with many magical abilities. They are depicted as wise and helpful entities, much to the contrast to their western kin. In China they represent royalty and are often worn by the emperor.26 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Herbert Seel 9 Contributions What do dragon tattoos symbolize?

"text": "\"Solutions Anonymous\"\"Combining tilde and u 007e ~ tilde (as a spacing character...\"\"0 0 The tilde is a grapheme with several uses. The name of the character comes from Spanish, from the Latin titulus meaning \"\"title\"\" or \"\"superscription\"\", though the term \"\"tilde\"\" has evolved and now has a different meaning in linguistics. It was originally written over a letter as a mark of abbreviation, but has since acquired a number of other uses as a diacritic mark or a character in its own right. These are encoded in Unicode at U 0303 ◌̃ combining tilde and U 007E ~ tilde (as a spacing character), and there are additional similar characters for different roles. In lexicography, the latter kind of tilde and the swung dash (⁓) are used in dictionaries to indicate the omission of the entry word. Was this answer helpful?

"text": "\"arrowliterature10 Facts About The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn BY Joy Lanzendorfer February 18, 2018Public Domain, Wikimedia Commons On its surface, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a straightforward story about a boy and a runaway slave floating down the Mississippi River. But underneath, the book—which was published in the U. S. on February 18, 1885—is a subversive confrontation of slavery and racism. It remains one of the most loved, and most banned, books in American history.1. HUCKLEBERRY FINN FIRST APPEARS IN TOM SAWYER. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a sequel to Tom Sawyer, Twain’s novel about his childhood in Hannibal, Missouri. Huck is the “juvenile pariah of the village” and “son of the town drunkard,” Pap Finn. He wears cast-off adult clothes and sleeps in doorways and empty barrels. Despite this, the other children “wished they dared to be like him.” Huck also appears in Tom Sawyer, Detective, and Tom Sawyer Abroad, as well as the unfinished Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Among the Indians.

"text": "\"Section Navigation Home Study Guides The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Themes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finnby Mark Twain Buy Study Guide The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Themes Conflict between civilization and \"\"natural life\"\"The primary theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and \"\"natural life.\"\" Huck represents natural life through his freedom of spirit, uncivilized ways, and desire to escape from civilization. He was raised without any rules or discipline and has a strong resistance to anything that might \"\"sivilize\"\" him. This conflict is introduced in the first chapter through the efforts of the Widow Douglas: she tries to force Huck to wear new clothes, give up smoking, and learn the Bible. Throughout the novel, Twain seems to suggest that the uncivilized way of life is more desirable and morally superior. Drawing on the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Twain suggests that civilization corrupts, rather than improves, human beings. Honor The theme of honor permeates the novel after first being introduced in the second chapter, where Tom Sawyer expresses his belief that there is a great deal of honor associated with thieving. Robbery appears throughout the novel, specifically when Huck and Jim encounter robbers on the shipwrecked boat and are forced to put up with the King and Dauphin, both of whom \"\"rob\"\" everyone they meet. Tom's original robber band is paralleled later in the novel when Tom and Huck become true thieves, but honorable ones, at the end of the novel. They resolve to steal Jim, freeing him from the bonds of slavery, which is an honorable act."

Flag What does the crescent moon symbolize? Answer by Amel mosad Confidence votes 653Throughout many traditions the sun represents the father and male principle and the moon the mother and feminine principle. The energy of the moon is intuitive, deep, subtle, feminine and psychic. To say this is a feminine energy does not mean to say this energy is just for women. Men and women have their female and male aspects. We all develop them both. The moon is also associated with clairvoyance and knowing without thinking. To use the energy of the moon does not involve conscious thought. So to wear or have around you the symbol of the moon is to state your universal intention to use your intuition, to simply go with what you feel and to know that to do this is for your greater good."

"text": "\"Examining the River in terms of Symbolism in \"\"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\"\"In � The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn �, the Mississippi River plays several roles and holds a prominent theme throughout much of the story as a whole. Huckleberry Finn and Jim are without a doubt the happiest and most a peace when floating down the river on their raft. However, the river has a much deeper meaning than just a compilation of water. It almost goes to an extent of having its own personality and character traits. The river offers a place for the two characters, Huck and Jim, to escape from everybody and even everything in society and leaves them with a feeling of ease. In the middle section of Huckleberry Finn, the river takes on more of a concrete meaning and will be discussed more so in the paragraphs that follows. Before investigating exactly the roles that the river played in this section of the novel, I decided to actually get a dictionary definition of river before continuing. However, I believe this may sound very simply but it may indeed clear up controversies or confusions found later on in the presentation. The definition of a river is simply a natural wide flow of fresh water across the land into the sea, a lake, or another river. I found this definition to be rather what I had intended and decided to now find how the novel, � The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn � used the river in the context as a whole but more importantly as symbolism in the middles sections of Chapters 16-31."

As Huck explored the Island, he noticed a campfire that was stomped out less than a few days ago. The ashes were still warm. That night he ran into Jim, who was a slave that ran away from Mrs. Watson. Jim was frightened as he thought that Huck was a ghost. After smoking a pipe together, Jim explains how he was tired of Miss Watson treating him badly. He also overheard her talking to the Widow Douglass about selling Jim."

The Classical period then began, and lasted until the conquests of Alexander the Great in about 330 BC, which began the Hellenistic period, extending until the Roman absorption of the Greek world in the 1st century BC.

"text": "\"Most Greeks say they want their country to remain in the eurozone [EPA]Will Greece leave the euro - and if so, what would happen next? The question has been bandied about for a few years now, but has gained more attention after Greek elections gave big boosts to parties opposed to the terms of the country's bailout by the European Union and International Monetary Fund. Jörg Asmussen, a member of the European Central Bank's executive board, recently said that Greece must adhere to the bailout's terms - which require the Greek government to make additional cuts to public spending - if it wants to remain in the eurozone. Although most Greeks do want to stay in the eurozone, austerity measures, such as reducing the minimum wage and cutting pensions, are deeply unpopular.

Even after Greeks voted “No” to a European bailout package that would have placed new restrictions on its economy, it’s not clear the country will leave the euro. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says it won’t, and negotiations will continue on Tuesday. But many others don’t see a way around it. European leaders are unlikely to forgive the country’s debt without new austerity measures. The vote suggests the Greek people don’t want that. So going it alone may be the only answer. Drachmas, the Greek currency before it joined the euro, haven’t been around for a while."

Greece got the green light for the next round of bailout aid and has won additional pledges of debt relief. Fotis Plegas G./Associated Press What’s the latest? European authorities have authorized handing 7.5 billion euros, or $8.4 billion, in bailout aid to Greece, which will allow the country to keep paying its bills in the coming months. It has also won additional pledges of debt relief, helping to ease concerns about another crisis in Greece at a time when Europe is dealing with an influx of migrants and a continuing terrorist threat. Debt relief has been a contentious issue for creditors, with the International Monetary Fund and Germany lining up on opposite sides. The I. M. F. has insisted that Greece cannot meet its budget goals without easing its debts, while Germany remains skeptical of cutting Athens more slack. They have reached a compromise, of sorts. Greece’s creditors committed to debt relief, although not until 2018 at the earliest, provided the country continues to carry out painful changes.

Usually, the term \"\"exonumia\"\" is applied to these objects in the United States, while the equivalent British term is paranumismatica. The words exonumist and exonumia were coined in July 1960 by Russell Rulau, a recognized authority and author on the subject, and accepted by Webster's dictionary in 1965. Forms of exonumia: tokens and medals [ edit]Chronologically, in the United States many Exonumia items were used as currency when actual money was not easily available in the economy. A notable exception to this definition are Medals, which were generally not used as currency or exchange."

They also pay for their own wedding attire, travel and lodgings, and gift to the couple. Today, these traditions are not strictly adhered to as expenses are shared by those best able to pay. The groom's parents might volunteer to also pay for cetain aspects of the wedding, such as the flowers or beverages, or split the cost of the reception."

Not only is he expected to walk his daughter down the aisle, he also shoulders the responsibility of delivering a meaningful, yet entertaining, speech. And if that wasn't enough, he has also traditionally been expected to fork out for the cost of the entire day. This can be a pretty hefty blow - according to Brides Magazine, the average British wedding now comes to a total of around £24,000.+6Your big day: Costs can easily escalate when planning a dream wedding but there are ways to save However, statistics suggest that the bride's father might now be off the hook. A recent study of more than 2,000 married women by jewellers Beaverbrooks found that only 18 per cent of brides' parents paid for a wedding in its entirety. While traditionally the bride’s parents pay the lion’s share of the cost, nowadays many couples pay for their own weddings, especially since a lot of people get hitched when they are a bit older and have had a chance to save. But this has not put paid to questions of who pays what, how much should parents contribute and what the cost of the whole thing will add up to. Here we endeavour to shed some light on the tricky matter of wedding finance. How much are you saving for your wedding?"

"text": "\"Korean Wedding Cultural Differences Here is a summary of the main differences between getting engaged and married in Korea and Australia. Customs are changing and traditions are fading in both Korea and Australia, but I am going focus on the main stream cultural differences between the two countries. Will you marry me? Before you pop this question in Korea you should have arranged an \"\"official\"\" meeting with her father to basically get his OK on your relationship with his daughter and give him the opportunity to ask you some big questions (you can read my blog post <here> ). Traditionally in Korea the boyfriend and the girlfriend won't meet their respective parents unless things get to ultra serious (i.e. serious discussion of marriage). I upset the apple cart a little when dating my girlfriend (now wife). I met him before orgianizing an \"\"official\"\" meeting and committing to marrying his daughter. He never treated me badly, but he was very stanoffish and not really that friendly. All that changed after I committed to marrying his daughter. In Australia on the other hand things are a lot different."

I have been on both ends of the wedding altar and I can tell you that it's much easier to deal with than you think and there is a smart way. Everyone is a bit unsure of what is proper mostly because wedding ministers as a whole have historically dealt with rituals and preparedness in situations and most folks do not want to cross the line. But remember that wedding professionals deal with this issue on a daily basis and so they understand your uncomfortableness and they have seen it quite a bit. To them, it is part of the work day. Do I tip? Definitely, yes. How much? It depends, but it is not unusual to double a fee. How? There is a good time to pay the gratuity when you pay the balance of your officiant fee. Why? Because t.i.p. stands for to insure proper service. Your marriage officiant is still holding your marriage license when you part ways (they are required usually to file it themselves). Where? At the signing. How do you pay and tip with class? It is not so difficult after all. Tipping anyone should be done with joy and gratitude. Consider the following wedding information. Most officiants charge from $275 to $900 for a wedding ceremony. It all depends on your wedding ceremony location, what things you feel you need from your wedding minister and how busy they are. The busier the wedding minister, the more expensive they will generally be. Most wedding vendors will ask for a deposit in advance and the remainder to be paid on the day of the wedding. Do remember to make a prompt deposit as wedding professionals do get calls and emails constantly. A typical wedding professional gets anywhere from 10 to 100 requests a day. That is a lot time requests to be juggling. Frankly, the first person to commit by putting down a deposit is the one who wins that time slot. We recommend that you send the officiant you have chosen the deposit by check or by credit card immediately so that you do have a hold on their time and also so that there is a paper trail. However, in my experience, the balance should be paid by cash. When you pay the balance it is usually more embarrassing for people since it is in person and there is no \"\"right moment\"\". But there is. The best thing to do is to bring an envelope with each wedding vendor name on it and put the remainder in cash in the envelope. If you are in a large wedding, hand these to your best man or the father of the bride (which makes him feel more important) and tell them to distribute the money for you. Do make sure to pay by the balance you owe your wedding minister in cash or your license may not be filed in time for the check to clear. Even worse, if you are traveling after your wedding and your check bounces, you may find that you are not married by the time you return from your honeymoon. A wedding officiant is required to file your marriage license within a certain amount of time with the county, usually 10 days. If they are paid by check and it bounces while you are in Tahiti then you may have a bit of a problem as that wedding clergy does not know if you will be paying on your bad check. The best time to pay is at the signing of the marriage license. There is always a shuffling of papers from each person and when the wedding officiant signs it you can easily hand the envelope over with a \"\"Thank you!\"\" And do not forget the minister gratuity. You can include that in the envelope as well. What is the proper tip for an officiant? $75 - $150 is the proper officiant gratuity and if that seems to be too much to you, consider this: your wedding officiant is probably the least paid of most of the wedding professionals present at your wedding and yet you need that one person at your wedding ceremony more than anyone else there, or else. . . you would not be married. Yes, you do not need to tip a wedding official but think of it this way: it's good karma and a good way to start your marriage with a positive vibe from the one person who joined you as husband and wife. { Credit to Mile High Ministries for this Blog }\"",

Believe it or not, there are some low-cost dog breeds that are ideal for potential pet parents on a budget. Many factors like size, general health, and grooming needs are factored in when deciding which dog’s are the lest expensive to care for. The expenses associated with owning a dog begin before you even adopt your new “fur-ever” friend. Are you planning to adopt a puppy from a breeder? This is a much more costly option than adopting an adult dog from a shelter. If you adopt a puppy you’ll need to pay for vaccinations, spay or neutering fees and other costs associated with welcoming a young dog into your family. Similarly, there are breeds that will be more expensive to own. Some breeds are prone to health issues that will require a lot of veterinary care. Others are grooming intensive breeds, and the bill for grooming services and at-home grooming supplies will quickly add up."

"text": "Wedding Roles For The Guys This website is aimed at assisting the supposed Three Wise Men at a wedding – the Groom, the Best Man and the Father-of-the-Bride. Sometimes the Mother-of-the-Bride will take that role. These days the running order of speeches and the structure of the reception can be flexible but traditionally, the Father-of-the-Bride (or close family member) makes the first speech, welcoming everyone and proposing a toast to the Bride and Groom. The Groom then responds ending with a toast to the bridesmaids. The Best Man then responds on behalf of the bridesmaids and gives an entertaining speech, which may also end in a toast. These days the bride or bridesmaid may also want to say a few words but that’s got nothing to do with this site. A few general things to keep in mind: The wedding and reception will not be as emotional for the Groom as for the Bride but it is okay for the bloke to fake it. It will not be as sentimental or important for the Best Man as the Bridesmaid (but once again, it is okay to fake it). It can be as emotional for the Father-of-the-Bride as the Mother-of-the-Bride but it is NOT okay to show it. The Groom’s conduct and character will be judged on the day but the Best Man will not be judged – he is an extension of the Groom’s character unless he gets drunk before the speech and makes a total botch of things and then the Groom gets a sympathy vote for having such a goose as an acquaintance."

Here's an etiquette roundup with the solutions you need to pull off your role perfectly. Can the groom's parents host the engagement party? Anyone can host the engagement party, but tradition dictates that the bride's parents have first dibs on the soirée. The groom's parents can then throw their own party, or both sets of parents can come together to host one jointly. The rehearsal dinner is the domain of the groom's parents. Who makes the first move? Traditionally, the groom's parents call on the bride's parents after their son announces the engagement. That means they either drop them a nice note or make a phone call to make plans to get together. Getting together can mean dinner or drinks at their home or out, a weekend trip to the town where they live—whatever."

"text": "Kriti Sharma, Attorney at High Court Hyderabad (2007-present)Answered Mar 9, 2018 · Author has 142 answers and 63.4k answer views Read Complete Guide on Anti- Dowry Law here One of the evilest practices which adds a feather to the crown of ‘torture towards women’ is dowry system. In normal understanding, the dowry is the demands made by the groom’s family to the bride’s family in some monetary nature or in kind on the event of the marriage. It has become very usual demand from the groom’s side in a very polite way to ask for huge amount of money, expensive items, sponsor lavish trips or lifestyle to the groom in the name of gift to the bride by her parents by saying ‘yeh toh aap apne beti ko de rhe ho’. This evil practise is so widespread in India that even the best divorce lawyers in India states that one of the main reasons for the divorces involve dowry demands. Though there have been Dowry Prohibition Act and Indian Penal Code criminalising the concept of dowry, still there are practises going on by covering it with the name of stridhan which is legal in India. As not much Indians are clear about the difference between stridhan and dowry, and often confuses the concept of stridhan with the dowry demands; to a contrary, these two things are totally different. Stridhan is something which the bride is gifted with by her parents as a gift of their wish at the beginning of the new chapter of her life, not anything which is forceful on them; whereas dowry is an unethical and unreasonable forceful demand by the groom’s side to the bride’s family for expensive gifts or monetary advantage for the groom or whole family of the groom. The basic difference is that the former one is a gift and the later one is a forceful fulfilment of illogical demand. For further understanding and consultation, you can reach to My Advo and get legal advice from experts. When we talk about laws prohibiting the dowry system, first that comes up is Dowry Prohibition Act, and to support that Indian Penal Code has criminalised any kind of torture mentally or physically on a woman for dowry directly or indirectly even after marriage shall be considered under domestic violence; moreover if a woman dies or kills herself within seven years of marriage it shall be considered to be dowry death unless contrary is proved."

As father of the bride, your role is to support your daughter in every way. Usually, this also means financially! So what’s new? Nowadays, the cost of even the most modest wedding can be astronomical, but times are changing (phew!) and often the family of the bride, the couple themselves and even the groom’s family can contribute to costs. Best advice is to use the list below as a kick off point, and discuss who will pay for (and do) what, as soon as your daughter and her fiancé have set a date. Traditionally, the bride’s family pays for:engagement and wedding press announcementsthe bride’s and bridesmaids’ dressesoutfits for the mother and father of the brideflowers for the church and reception (groom pays for bouquets and buttonholes)photography/videomost of the transportwedding stationery (invitations and orders of service)the reception and all its trimmings (usually the big cost)A wise father will set his budget as early as possible and advise the couple as to what he is able, and prepared, to spend.

The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968, but the overall design has been used since 1821, when the First National Flag was created. Red, white, and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico. The central emblem is the Mexican coat of arms, based on the Aztec symbol for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City ), the center of the Aztec empire. It recalls the legend of an eagle sitting on a cactus while devouring a serpent that signaled to the Aztecs where to found their city, Tenochtitlan. [ 1] A ribbon in the national colors is at the bottom of the coat of arms. Throughout history, the flag has changed several times, as the design of the coat of arms and the length-width ratios of the flag have been modified. However, the coat of arms has had the same features throughout: an eagle, holding a serpent in its talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus; the cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake."

In the middle of the 1840s, the United States offered to buy California from Mexico. The government of Mexico refused to negotiate. American President James Polk felt that the use of force was the only way to make Mexico negotiate. So, in the spring of 1846, he ordered American soldiers to the Rio Grande River. The Rio Grande formed part of the border between the United States and Mexico. This week in our series, Larry West and Maurice Joyce tell about the conflict between the United States and Mexico. General Zachary Taylor commanded the American force."

Theodorou A third of the world’s 196 countries currently have national flags that include religious symbols, according to a new Pew Research analysis. Of the 64 countries in this category, about half have Christian symbols (48%) and about a third include Islamic religious symbols (33%), with imagery on flags from the world’s two largest religious groups appearing across several regions. Christian symbols are found on 31 national flags from Europe, Asia and the Pacific and the Americas. The United Kingdom’s “Union Jack,” for example, includes the crosses of St. George, St. Patrick and St. Andrew. Some Commonwealth countries continue to incorporate the Union Jack as a part of their own flags, including Fiji, Tuvalu, Australia and New Zealand. Spain, Greece, Norway and the Dominican Republic are among the other countries with Christian national symbols. Islamic symbols are found on the flags of 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East and North Africa. In Bahrain, the national flag features five white triangles, symbolizing the Five Pillars of Islam. Algeria, Turkey, Brunei and Uzbekistan are some of the many countries that include an Islamic star and crescent on their national flag. Although Singapore has a crescent and stars on its flag, they do not have religious significance."

"text": "The History of the Mexican Coat of Arms July 1, 2013 by Acapulcos Anyone who has seen the flag of Mexico is probably familiar with the Mexican coat of arms. It’s the picture of an eagle holding a snake. However, the Mexican coat of arms is more than just decoration for their flag. The Mexican coat of arms is a long-standing symbol of the country’s culture, legends, and politics. The Mexican coat of arms owes its origins to an Aztec legend. According to the legend, the leader of a nomadic tribe was visited by a god named Huitzilopochtli in a dream. The leader was told by the god that the tribe would come across an eagle, perched on a cactus, devouring a snake. They were ordered to settle wherever they found this eagle. The tribe did so in 1325, despite the swampy conditions of the area. This land would become Tenochtitlan, which is now called Mexico City and is one of the largest cities in the world."

"text": "Inverting the US Flag – What Does It Mean? Posted on December 31, 2013 by Admin Anti-Americans invert flag at pro-illegal immigration rally Many will tell you that an upside down American flag means “the country is in distress.” The US Flag Code allows this use of the flag in situations of “dire distress,” but the intention was distress as in immediate danger to life and limb, such as your ship is sinking at sea, an So S signal. It does not explicitly sanction use of the flag in this way at political rallies, where no person or property is in any real immediate distress or danger. This is a political extension of the meaning and therefore not in accordance with the flag code. It is just gratuitous abuse of the flag, in order to express a political message.dire adjective \\ˈdī (-ə)r\\ : very bad : causing great fear or worry : warning of disaster : showing a very bad future : requiring immediate action : very urgent Klansmen protest Obama election in 2008Nazis, the KKK and other such subversive groups have long been flying the flag upside down as a symbol of their goal of overturning the current constitutional republican system. Symbols often have dual meanings, one that is told to the general public and another subversive meaning, known to a smaller group of insiders. Inverting a symbol normally means the negation or destruction of that which the symbol represents. So, an inverted American flag is ambiguous and can either represent a So S signal of distress or a symbol of opposition and destruction of the system. It can have both meanings to different people at the same time."

The coat of arms depicts a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake.

The Seal of the United Mexican States is the seal used by the government of Mexico in any official documents issued by the federal, state or municipal authorities.

According to Wikipedia: While there are several theories as to the origin and reason for the choice of white, blue and red for the colours, none is currently accepted as universally correct. There is no official meaning assigned to the colours in Russian laws. The three colours purportedly came from the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which depict Saint George wearing white (silver) armor, riding a white horse, wearing a blue cape and holding a blue shield, on a red field. According to another version, these three colours were associated with the robes of the Virgin Mary, the holy protectress of Russia. Yet another interpretation of the three colours is that the order that they are placed in reflected the Russian social system under the monarchy: white represents God, blue the Tsar and red the peasants. Another very common interpretation is the association of colours with the main parts of the Russian Empire: white thus represents Belarus (\"\"White Russia\"\"), blue Ukraine (or Malorossia, \"\"Little Russia\"\"), and red \"\"Great Russia\"\".54 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Red, Blue, and White: What Do The Colors Of The American Flag Mean? American Flag Facts The United States flag is associated with rich American history and has changed appearance several times. While nobody is absolutely certain who made the first official flag, historians do know that during the Revolutionary War, different militias fought under different flags. These first flags ranged from a rattlesnake with the slogan, “Don’t Tread on Me,” to a pine tree with the phrase, “An Appeal to Heaven.” The idea of a national flag did not become an issue until Congress created the Continental Army in June of 1775 and George Washington flew the Continental Colors flag. The Continental Colors flag is believed to have had red and white stripes with the British Union Jack symbol, from the British national flag, in the upper left corner. Who Created The American Flag? Perhaps George Washington or Congress realized that flying a British symbol while seeking independence from England was not the best way to unite the newly forming country. In 1777, Congress passed the first Flag Resolution."

She often woke up feeling like her joints had been dipped in cement. On some mornings, she couldn’t even get out of bed without help. Now Kowalski has a new way to start the day. Instead of lying there helpless, she takes the time to stretch all of her muscles before she even gets out of bed. Her morning stretches help keep her joints flexible and functional. They also provide the perfect warm-up for her other morning exercises, which include lifting weights. She never skips her stretches, even on days when her joints don’t feel like cooperating. “ I do the best I can,” she says. “"

Megan Malugani, Monster Contributing Writer High-Paying Nursing Jobs Nursing may be a labor of love, but it is also a profession in which some additional education and training can go a long way toward taking your job title -- and salary -- to the next level. Here are seven top-paying jobs in the profession, covering a range of positions and requiring various degrees and certifications, with salary data: Head of Nursing Typical Requirements: Master’s degree in area of specialty and at least 15 years of experience Combining strong nursing experience with the overall planning, personnel oversight and policy-making duties of a top executive, one of nursing’s top big-picture positions is also one that brings home the biggest bucks. While the position leans strongly toward the executive end (most hospitals require a master’s degree in nursing and many are hoping for an MBA as well), hands-on nursing experience is also important for conveying the nursing staff’s needs to top management. The head of nursing -- also called chief nursing officer or chief nursing executive -- reflects the senior nurse management position in an organization. Head of nursing median salary | Find head of nursing jobs Nurse Anesthetist Typical Requirements: Master’s degree plus certification The highest paid of all nursing specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) also require the most education and training. In addition to a four-year nursing or science degree, CRNAs must be licensed RNs with at least a year of experience in an acute-care setting. Then it’s another two-plus years in an anesthesia education program before passing the certification exam. According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, the nation’s 39,000 CRNAs administer 30 million anesthetics to patients annually."

Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials is one of the world’s most pressing public health problems. Infectious organisms adapt to the antimicrobials designed to kill them, making the drugs ineffective. People infected with antimicrobial-resistant organisms are more likely to have longer, more expensive hospital stays, and may be more likely to die as a result of an infection. The following resources promote the appropriate use of antimicrobials: Antimicrobial Stewardship Toolkit - American Hospital Association The American Hospital Association (AHA) has compiled a new toolkit on antimicrobial stewardship in partnership with APIC and five other national organizations. The toolkit is composed of three sections: Hospital and health system resources; Clinician resources; and Patient resources.

"text": "Progress in Cardiovascular Nursing Coronary Heart Disease Risk in People 65 Years of Age and Older William B. Kannel, MD, MPH, Barbara S. Levine, Ph D, CRNP, CSDisclosures Prog Cardiovasc Nurs. 2003;18 (3)In This Article References Abstract and Introduction Evidence from epidemiologic studies indicates that the same factors that are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in middle-aged people are relevant in older adults (i.e., those aged ≥65). The relative risk associated with some risk factors decreases with advancing age but this is offset by greater incidence of CHD among older adults. A growing body of evidence from clinical trials indicates that risk factor modification in older adults reduces CHD risk as effectively as it does in middle-aged adults. Multivariable risk assessment can be used to effectively target intervention to those at significant for an initial CHD event and to avoid over-treatment. It is important to appreciate that the average remaining life expectancy after achieving 80 years is about 8 years. Despite declines in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rate, CHD remains a serious concern among older adults because of the increased number of people living beyond 65 years. [ 1] The number of older adults and their high rate of CHD mortality and disability, together with the increasing information available to guide health care clinicians warrants a review of the current status of modifiable CHD risk factors. Clinicians may question whether prolonged exposure to risk factors can be countered late in life, and whether there is enough time left for preventive measures to take effect and be worth the effort. In this regard, it is important to appreciate that the average life expectancy, even after attaining age 80 years, is about 8 years."

Barbara Resnick, Ph D, CRNPDisclosures February 18, 2010Question How should I manage aggression and agitation in long term care residents, especially those with dementia? Response from Barbara Resnick, Ph D, CRNP Professor, Sonya Ziporkin Gershowitz Chair in Gerontology, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland; Nurse Practitioner, CCRC, Baltimore, Maryland Managing aggression or any type of disruptive behavior in older adults with cognitive impairment is challenging and usually upsetting for all involved. The most important first step in management of this behavioral symptom is to think of it as just that -- a symptom. The aggression may be a symptom of an acute illness, such as pneumonia, a urinary tract infection, or appendicitis. Conversely, it may be related to a chronic medical problem, such as constipation; memory changes; and the frustration the individual feels at being unable to recall events, information for reorienting, or where he or she left an article of clothing. Psychological problems, such as depression or other types of mood disorders, are likewise commonly associated with aggression. Depression can evolve into anger and aggression in some individuals. Although it may not help the immediate situation, identification and treatment of the underlying cause are critical to prevent future aggressive outbursts. One of the best ways to manage aggression in older adults is prevention!"

"text": "LPN vs. RN: The Advantages of Being a Registered Nurse By Brianna Flavin on 1/11/2016 53 Comments Deciphering the options for a career in nursing can be just as stressful as the dreaded TEAS test. There seem to be more tracks in nursing than the average career, each one sponsored by certain degrees and certifications. If you’ve started doing your research, you’ve likely come across the discussion between becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or a registered nurse (RN). The biggest initial difference in the LPN versus RN debate is the education required. RNs will need to earn a professional nursing degree, which can take anywhere from 18-36 months, depending on the type of degree you choose to obtain. LPNs must earn a practical nursing degree, which can be earned in as few as 12 months. 1Many students like the idea of becoming an RN, but aren’t sure if they can justify the extra effort, time and money required when an LPN track would put them in the workforce faster. Does this dilemma sound all too familiar? If you’re looking for some tangible reasons to go down the RN path, you’re in luck because there are plenty! We combined government data and expert insight to identify four facts that suggest this is the right route for you.1."

Barbara Resnick, Ph D, CRNPDisclosures December 28, 2009Question I have a 95 year old nursing home patient (Jessie) with a serum sodium level of 128. What could be causing this and how should it be treated? Response from Barbara Resnick, Ph D, CRNP University of Maryland School of Nursing Hyponatremia, a very common problem in older adults, can result in changes in cognition and even seizures if it is not recognized and managed. It is critical to establish the underlying cause and type of the hyponatremia in order to address the problem and prevent future occurrences. Background Most of the water in the body is in the cells. If water moves from the cells to the plasma, it dilutes the plasma, resulting in hyponatremia. Increased oral intake of water or decreased renal clearance of water can dilute the plasma. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) prevents the clearance of water from the body. This hormone is appropriately released in older people who are hypovolemic as a way to encourage the body to conserve water."

Teitelman, Ph D, CRNP, MSNDisclosures January 14, 2010Question What are the best treatment options and prevention messages for my patients with recurrent bacterial vaginosis infections? Response from Anne M. Teitelman, Ph D, CRNP, MSN Assistant Professor, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Nurse Practitioner, University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Defining Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial disease that occurs when the protective peroxide-producing lactobacilli of the vagina are eliminated, permitting an overgrowth of anaerobes and other pathogens, such as Gardnerella vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis. [ 1, 2] Because the etiology and pathogenesis of BV are not completely understood, treatment for BV is not always effective, resulting in high recurrence rates. [ 3] Recurrent BV is generally defined as 3 or more episodes of BV per year, and one study found that 6-month recurrent rates were as high as 80%. [ 2] Given the treatment challenges and the fact that BV is the most common vaginal infection for women of reproductive age, the disease causes great frustration for both patients and providers. [ 4]The symptoms of BV include a foul-smelling (\"\"fishy\"\") vaginal discharge, which may be accompanied by pruritus, although more than 50% of patients are asymptomatic. [ 2] The most common method of diagnosis is the Amsel criteria, which include the following: A white, homogenous discharge that is adherent to the vaginal walls;A vaginal p H of greater than 4.5;A positive amine \"\"whiff\"\" test; and Presence of clue cells. If at least 3 of the criteria are present, the patient has a positive BV diagnosis. The Nugent criteria, which detect BV by Gram staining, may also be used and are preferred for most clinical trials.

O'Sullivan, Ph D, CRNPDisclosures April 24, 2012In This Article Impact of Healthcare Reform Law on Scope of Advanced Nursing Practice Impact of Health Care Reform Law on APRN Scope of Practice Changing the Thinking: Healthcare Professionals, Legislators, and Consumer Advocates Collaboration: Health Care Regulatory Boards, Legislators, and Others It's Time to Make Our Voices Heard References Impact of Healthcare Reform Law on Scope of Advanced Nursing Practice We are facing a kairos moment in advanced practice nursing -- a time when current events align in such a way that significant and rapid change is possible. A professional turf battle is raging as to who is qualified to autonomously provide primary care and lead future healthcare delivery models. This defining moment owes thanks to the passage of healthcare reform, the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) research-based publication, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, [ 1] and our professional numbers reaching critical mass. Some physicians insist that healthcare leadership should be the domain of physicians, and only physicians. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), emboldened by years of research-proven effectiveness, believe that they are qualified to lead as well. Is this just a turf war, or does the APRN scope of practice, in fact, enable safe and effective clinical leadership? We will argue that APRNs have the potential to provide equal if not more relevant care as we move into healthcare paradigms for the 21st century. Concept of \"\"Scope of Practice\"\"\"\"Scope of practice\"\" is a phrase used by regulatory boards to define the procedures, actions, and processes permitted for a licensed individual in a specific profession. Scope of practice is limited to areas of practice for which the individual has received education and gained experience, and in which he or she has demonstrated competency. Certified nurse practitioners (CNPs) are registered nurses prepared in a graduate level program to provide advanced care directly to patients."

As his patrol extends to the big screen this weekend, we decided to look at some of the biggest threats he’s been called on to combat in the line of duty. What follows is a rundown of the greatest Green Lantern villains of all time from the character's comics history. Should you encounter any of these dangerous rogues, do not attempt to make contact; report the sighting to your local Green Lantern Corps representative immediately. SINESTROSinestro is, without question, Hal Jordan’s archenemy, not just because of the threat he poses, but because of how close he once was to our hero. Sinestro was himself one of the greatest Green Lanterns, and even took it upon himself to train a rookie Hal Jordan. But Sinestro had a sadistic side, and enjoyed dominating others by instilling sheer terror in them. When his ruthless tactics were revealed, he was banished from the Green Lantern Corps, but soon returned with a new source of power; his yellow power ring. He used this powerful new weapon to become Jordan’s greatest enemy, and to eventually found a group dedicated to his principles of fear; the Sinestro Corps.

An effects unit or pedal is an electronic or digital device that alters how a musical instrument or other audio source sounds. In the 2010s, most effects use solid-state electronics and/or computer chips. Some vintage effects units from the 1930s to the 1970s and modern reissues of these effects use mechanical components as well (e.g., Leslierotating speaker, spring reverb, and tape recorder -based echo effects) or vacuum tubes. Some effects subtly \"\"color\"\" a sound, such as a reverb unit used on a low setting, while others transform it dramatically, such as a distortion pedal used with electric guitar, with the overdrive set to its maximum level. Musicians, audio engineers and record producers use effects units during live performances or in the studio, typically with electric guitar, electronic keyboard, electric piano or electric bass. While guitar effects are most frequently used with electric or electronic instruments, effects can also be used with acoustic instruments, drums and vocals. [ 1] [2] Rackmounted or audio console -integrated reverb effects are commonly used with vocals in live sound and sound recording. Examples of common effects units include wah-wah pedals, fuzzboxes and reverb units. ["

The minimum numbers of math guys and others to give us the ratio of 10/11 are 10 math guys and 11 others. But we already have 16. so we multiply the ratio by 2, which means that we have to have 20 math guys and 22 others in order to have the ratio of 10/11. 42-20 = 22 so we need to hire (20-4) 16 math guys and (22-16) 6 others.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A particle swarm searching for the global minimum of a function In computer science, particle swarm optimization ( PSO) is a computational method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality. It solves a problem by having a population of candidate solutions, here dubbed particles, and moving these particles around in the search-space according to simple mathematical formulae over the particle's position and velocity. Each particle's movement is influenced by its local best known position, but is also guided toward the best known positions in the search-space, which are updated as better positions are found by other particles. This is expected to move the swarm toward the best solutions. PSO is originally attributed to Kennedy, Eberhart and Shi [1] [2] and was first intended for simulating social behaviour, [3] as a stylized representation of the movement of organisms in a bird flock or fish school. The algorithm was simplified and it was observed to be performing optimization. The book by Kennedy and Eberhart [4] describes many philosophical aspects of PSO and swarm intelligence. An extensive survey of PSO applications is made by Poli. [ 5] [6] Recently, a comprehensive review on theoretical and experimental works on PSO has been published by Bonyadi and Michalewicz. [ 7]PSO is a metaheuristic as it makes few or no assumptions about the problem being optimized and can search very large spaces of candidate solutions."

This is the work of an artist so sublimely confident that he doesn't include a single shot simply to keep our attention. He reduces each scene to its essence, and leaves it on screen long enough for us to contemplate it, to inhabit it in our imaginations. Alone among science-fiction movies, “2001\"\" is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe. No little part of his effect comes from the music. Although Kubrick originally commissioned an original score from Alex North, he used classical recordings as a temporary track while editing the film, and they worked so well that he kept them. This was a crucial decision. North's score, which is available on a recording, is a good job of film composition, but would have been wrong for “2001\"\" because, like all scores, it attempts to underline the action -- to give us emotional cues. The classical music chosen by Kubrick exists outside the action. It uplifts."

In a rigorous analysis of a nationwide data set that included 46 blue catfish populations, 125 channel catfish populations and 44 flathead catfish populations, fisheries scientist Andrew Rypel found that blue catfish, as expected, grew faster in warmer climates. But Rypel’s analysis also found the growth of channel catfish and flathead catfish was not significantly related to temperature. All catfish — blues, channels and flatheads — are warm-water fish that begin active feeding and rapid growth when water temperatures climb above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, while faster growth of blue catfish in Southern climates than in northern climates was expected, the failure to find faster growth of channel catfish and flathead catfish in the South was surprising. Rypel suggested that food supply and the density of fish sharing the forage might have overshadowed the effect of temperature. This is likely because food supply commonly limits the growth of all fishes. Unfortunately, data was not available to include food supply in the statistical analyses that tested factors affecting catfish growth. Habitat also can affect growth. How catfish growth is affected by habitat is an interesting question because all three catfish do well in standing water (lakes, reservoirs and ponds) or flowing water (rivers and streams)."

It is with great pleasure that I inform you that Mr. Hal Looney and Shea Homes have agreed to fund the remaining cost of approximately $100,000.00 to building our pickleball facility here at Trilogy. I received a call from Mr. Looney yesterday afternoon where he explained to me that he was impressed with the way the community had come together in raising the funds needed to reach our goal of $40,000.00. He also recognized that there has been some mis-communication regarding the initial $79,000.00 construction cost projections and those cost that are more likely to be incurred, as we include landscape, sound mitigation and other architectural elements. As it stands now, the costs are running at about $184,000.00, which includes our $40,000.00 and Shea’s original $35,000.00 commitment. Hal explained also that we may have to eliminate some of the amenities in the original proposal for the time being and look to adding them back at some future time. In my opinion, this will not affect the quality of the new facility in any way. At our planned meeting with Shea on June 6th, the focus will now be to further finalize the design drawings and begin the construction drawing phase of the project. Our expectation is that the project will be completed by the fall, barring any time delays we run into with the City of Peoria."

"text": "\"Advanced Vehicle Automation and Computers Aboard the Shuttle Dennis Jenkins Events affecting the choice of computer systems for the emerging Space Shuttle can be traced back to the Apollo era. Before the first piloted Apollo flight, NASA was working on defining an orbiting laboratory ultimately known as Skylab. Even on Earth, Skylab was impressive—basically a gutted and modified Saturn S-IVB upper stage, the laboratory was a fully equipped orbiting research facility that encompassed more than 10,000 cubic feet. At one end, beyond an airlock module that would allow Apollo Command Modules to ferry crews and supplies to the laboratory, was the Apollo telescope mount—a 12-ton observatory holding instruments that allowed the crew to make detailed studies of the Sun. Not only would the Sun be a primary object of study during the Skylab missions, but it would also supply all of the laboratory’s power, a first for the U. S. crewed space program. 1About 10 percent of this power was dedicated to a revolutionary computer system. Called the attitude and pointing control system (APCS), the system was primarily responsible for controlling the attitude of the laboratory along all three axes, which was particularly important to the Sun-observing experiments. The APCS represented the first opportunity to employ a truly dual-redundant digital computer system aboard a spacecraft. While Gemini and Apollo used complex redundant circuitry inside their single computers and were backed-up by ground-based systems at Mission Control and hand-calculated solutions from the astronauts, the APCS included two identical onboard computers. One functioned as the primary unit, the second as a backup—each machine fully capable of performing all the necessary functions."

Hal is given a ring that grants him superpowers, and must confront Parallax, who threatens to upset the balance of power in the universe. The film first entered development in 1997; progress remained stalled until Greg Berlanti was hired to write and direct in October 2007. Martin Campbell was brought on board in February 2009 after Berlanti was forced to vacate the director's position. Most of the live-action actors were cast between July 2009 and February 2010, and filming took place from March to August 2010 in Louisiana. The film was converted to 3D during its post-production stage. Green Lantern was released on June 17, 2011, and received generally negative reviews; most criticized the film for its screenplay, inconsistent tone, choice and portrayal of villains, and its use of CGI, while some praised Reynolds' performance. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $219 million against a production budget of $200 million."

The intercostal nerves are distributed chiefly to the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum and differ from the anterior rami of the other spinal nerves in that each pursues an independent course without plexus formation. The first two nerves supply fibers to the upper limb in addition to their thoracic branches; the next four are limited in their distribution to the walls of the thorax; the lower five supply the walls of the thorax and abdomen. The 7th intercostal nerve terminates at the xyphoid process, at the lower end of the sternum. The 10th intercostal nerve terminates at the navel.

An intercostal nerve block is an injection of a steroid or other medication around the intercostal nerves that are located under each rib. What is the purpose of an intercostal nerve block? The steroid injected reduces the inflammation and/or swelling of tissue around the intercostal nerves, in between the ribs or in the chest wall. This may in turn reduce pain, and other symptoms caused by inflammation or irritation of the intercostal nerve and surrounding structures. Herpes zoster or shingles pain in the chest is commonly treated with intercostal blocks. Pain around a chest scar after a chest surgery may also respond well to intercostal blocks. How long does the intercostal nerve block take? The actual injection takes only a few minutes. What is actually injected?"

Main Anatomy Index | Bones of the thoracic wall Last updated 30 March 2006The Anterolateral Abdominal Wall Most of the abdominal wall is muscular and extends between the thoracic cage and the bony pelvis. There are four important paired muscles in the anterior abdominal wall: three flat muscles (external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis) and one strap-like muscle (rectus abdominis). The combination of muscles and aponeuroses in the anterior abdominal wall affords considerable protection to the abdominal viscera, especially when the muscles are in good physical condition. The flat muscles cross each other in such a way (similar to a three-ply corset) that strengthens the abdominal wall and diminishes the risk of protrusion of viscera (herniation) between the muscle bundles. The External Oblique Muscle (pp. 132-3)This is the largest and most superficial of the three flat abdominal muscles. It is located in the anterolateral aspect of the abdominal wall. Its fleshy part forms the anterolateral portion and its aponeurosis forms the anterior part."

Cephalad to the diaphragm, the mediastinal and superficial systems coalesce integrating virtually all of the systemic venous return to the right atrium through the superior vena cava ( Tables 1 and 2 ).

Systemic venous return bypassing the superior vena cava Coronary veins entering the coronary sinus in the right atrium Coronary venous return to the right and left ventricle via the thebesian veins Bronchial venous drainage distal to third generation of bronchial tree entering the pulmonary venous system to the left atrium Table 2. Points of interest The space between the posterior wall of the superior vena cava and the anterior right main pulmonary artery must be free to allow proximal control of the latter structure during a right pneumonectomy. The vestigial vein of Marshall may be patent in the pericardial fold over the left intrapericardial pulmonary artery mandating control during an intrapericardial left pneumonectomy. The azygous vein can be falsely cannulated with resultant injury during institution of cardiopulmonary bypass. Intraoperative detection of a venous abnormality should alert the surgeon to the probability that other anomalies of the systemic and pulmonary circulation and the bronchial tree may be encountered during a thoracic surgical procedure. The exceptions to this normal state include the return of the coronary arterial blood flow via the coronary sinus to the right atrium and via the thebesian veins to the ventricular chambers, as well as bronchial venous flow distal to the third division of the bronchial tree bilaterally, which returns along with the oxygenated blood in the pulmonary venous system to the left atrium (see Table 1 )."

All of them are moving away from the spinal cord posterior and anterior sensitive motor rootlets. Spines are merged into one barrel and out of the spinal canal through the intervertebral opening. In the area of the intervertebral openings are spinal units (ganglion spinale), representing a cluster of sensory cells and are part of the posterior roots. Cells from the spinal unit start-sensitive fibers and cells of the anterior horn-motor. Together, the nerves are mixed. After exiting the intervertebral openings spinal nerves are divided into front and rear mixed branches. Rear sent to the muscles and skin of the posterior trunk and anterior muscles innervated by the anterior trunk and limbs.

"text": "\"Organization of the Nervous System: An introduction for students in the Human Anatomy Course I. Neurons and glia The basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell or NEURON. It is important to come to grips with the neuron and the terminology relating to its parts now, otherwise much of the material on organization of the nervous system will not make sense to you. Here is a schematic drawing of a typical nerve cell All neurons have a cell body (or SOMA) which contains cellular organelles which are typical of most of the cells in the body, including a nucleus, a nucleolus, lots of rough endoplasmic reticulum, and so on. Most nerve cells have processes called DENDRITES, which act like antennae for the cell, in that they receive input to the cell. Most neurons also have a single long process called an AXON, which is capable of transmitting a pulse of electricity (NERVE IMPULSE or ACTION POTENTIAL) from the cell body to some distant target in the brain or the periphery. These axons may be quite long (up to a meter or more in the case of a nerve cell whose some sits in the spinal cord and has an axon which contacts a muscle in the foot). Axons usually break up into smaller branches (terminal branches) near their target. These terminal branches end in swellings which make a specialized contact with the target cell. If the target cell is another neuron, the swelling is called a BOUTON, and the specialized contact is called a SYNAPSE. If the target is a muscle fiber, the bouton is often called a MOTOR ENDPLATE and the synapse is often referred to as a NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION."

It is the body's breathing equipment. The respiratory system consists of the nose, lungs, diaphragm and the air passages, such as the trachea, which connect them. Similar to the digestive system, it takes substances from outside the body (gases, particularly oxygen), circulates them through the body to cells and tissues, then dumps (excretes) the excess and waste.

What is the purpose of an intercostal nerve block? The steroid injected reduces the inflammation and/or swelling of tissue around the intercostal nerves, in between the ribs or in the chest wall. This may in turn reduce pain, and other symptoms caused by inflammation or irritation of the intercostal nerve and surrounding structures. Herpes zoster or shingles pain in the chest is commonly treated with intercostal blocks. Pain around a chest scar after a chest surgery may also respond well to intercostal blocks. How long does the intercostal nerve block take? The actual injection takes only a few minutes. What is actually injected?"

There are three principal layers; the external intercostal muscles, which aid in quiet and forced inhalation. They originate on ribs 1-11 and have their insertion on ribs 2-12. The external intercostals are responsible for the elevation of the ribs, and expanding the transverse dimensions of the thoracic cavity. Located around the ribs the internal intercostal muscles, which aid in forced expiration (quiet expiration is a passive process). They originate on ribs 2-12 and have their insertions on ribs 1-11. The internal intercostals are responsible for the depression of the ribs decreasing the transverse dimensions of the thoracic cavity. the innermost intercostal muscle, the deep layers of the internal intercostal muscles which are separated from them by the neurovascular bundle. Both the external and internal muscles are innervated by the intercostal nerves (the ventral rami of thoracic spinal nerves), and are provided by the intercostal arteries and intercostal veins. Their fibers run in opposite directions."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-are-intercostal-muscles.htm\nWhat are Intercostal Muscles?",
"text": "The intercostal muscles are the muscle bands that surround and span between the ribs that alternately lift and compress the rib cage in order to permit respiration. There are two distinct muscle groups: the external and the internal intercostals. Both are supplied with blood and nerves by structures occupying the intercostal space, namely the thoracic spinal nerves, and the intercostal veins and arteries. These muscles and structures are aptly named since the term “intercostal” is derived from the Latin word costae, which translates to mean ribbed or rib-like. The external intercostal muscles consist of 11 muscles that envelop each side of the exterior of the rib cage from the back of the ribs and wrapping around where they are attached to the sternum in front. As these muscles extend toward the front of the ribs, they become tapered, and at this point are referred to as the anterior intercostal membranes. As a group, these muscles are thicker than their counterparts that form the internal intercostals. In addition, if someone were to view an illustration of the rib cage from the rear, it would be apparent that these muscles are positioned on an angle, taking an obliquely downward and laterally outward direction. The function of the external intercostals is to respond to a contraction of the diaphragm, the boomerang-shaped muscle located beneath the sternum. As the diaphragm receives signals from the central nervous system to contract, it compresses and drops into a lower position."

The abdominal wall consists of three sheet-like layers of muscle along with a band-like, longitudinal muscle located along the midventral line (linea alba). The linea alba is a thin, white longitudinal line of connective tissue that separates the right and left sides of the abdominal muscles. These muscles form a basket which encloses the viscera. Contraction of the abdominal muscles serves to compress the abdomen. The external oblique forms the most superficial of the three layers of abdominal muscles. This muscle originates from the posterior ribs and the lumbodorsal fascia. The fibers extend craniodorsally to insert along the length of the linea alba. Note that the muscle fibers of the external oblique do not extend all the way to the linea alba but are connected to it by an aponeurosis (a thin sheet of connective tissue). The internal oblique lies directly beneath the external oblique."

"text": "\"What Are the Functions of Muscles of the Abdominal Wall?by MARTIN BOOE Jan. 30, 2018People commonly refer to the “upper” and “lower” abdominal muscles, but that’s not really an accurate description of the muscles that make up the abdominal wall. While an exercise may target either the upper or lower section, these muscles don’t work independently of each other, so they can’t be isolated in exercise. Understanding more about the construction of your abdominal wall may help you choose the best exercises to meet your fitness goals. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Abdominal Wall Overview The abdominal wall encases the abdominal cavity, which contains — and protects — most of the gastrointestinal organs. Its other function is to support your trunk and enable its movement. All in all, there are six different abdominal muscles: the transverses abdominis, the internal obliques, the external obliques and the rectus abdominis. Read More: How to Strengthen Abdominal Walls Muscles According to the American Council on Exercise, you can think of the abdominal wall as being arranged into three layers: superficial, intermediate and deep. The external and internal obliques, rectus abdominis (RA) and transverse abdominis (TVA) are all considered part of the deep layer. The muscles themselves are layered on top of each other like the individual layers of a sheet of plywood. These deep muscles work as a unit to control movement of the spine, rib cage and pelvis."

Many of us have the goal of getting flat abs, and while that's a fine goal to have, strong abs are even more important. If you look beyond the six pack, you'll see a group of muscles that have a very important purpose. Not only do they help you bend, extend, rotate, and flex your torso, they support the most important part of your body: your spine. Almost all of your movements originate from your core, so the stronger you are, the easier everything becomes and the more you protect yourself from injury. All About Your Abs We use the word \"\"abs\"\" to collectively describe four major muscles in the torso. Knowing what each one does and the exercises that target those muscles will help you set up the perfect ab workout for a strong, fit core.

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Anatomy Regions and Planes of the Abdomen Updated: Oct 23, 2013Author: Brian A Janz, MD; Chief Editor: Thomas R Gest, Ph D more... Print Overview The anatomy of the regions and planes of the abdomen is composed of many layers with varying blood supply and innervation. The abdomen has been bisected, trisected, and even divided into as many as 9 separate regions. The layers of the abdominal wall consist of the skin, superficial fascia, and muscles. Abdominal planes The anatomic planes of the abdominal wall are made up of multiple muscular and fascial layers that interdigitate and unite to form a sturdy, protective musculofascial layer that protects the visceral organs and provides strength and stability to the body's trunk. This anatomy varies with respect to the different topographic regions of the abdomen; thus, a firm understanding of these layers, their blood supply, and their innervation is essential to surgical management of the abdomen. The abdominal cavity is the largest hollow space in the body. It is bound cranially by the xiphoid process of the sternum and the costal cartilages of ribs 7-10; caudally, by the anterior ilium and the pubic bone of the pelvis; anteriorly, by the abdominal wall musculature; and posteriorly, by the L1-L5 vertebrae. Abdominal regions The abdominal wall has few anatomic landmarks. The flat abdominal plane is broken up only by the costal margins, anterior superior iliac spines, and the umbilicus. Thus, many attempts have been made over the years to describe what surface anatomy cannot."

"text": "\"The Abdominals Often mistakenly called the diaphragm by singers and by some teachers, the abdominal muscles are linked with the breath when they are used to \"\"support the breath\"\" or when they stretch as the belly distends due to that action of the diaphragm. The abdominal muscles are a number of muscles including theexternal obliques,internal obliques,transversus abdominis andrectus abdominis They correspond to the front part of the abdomen (the part below the diaphragm down to the inlet of the pelvis); the back (posterior) part is dealt with in the lower back page. The Aponeurosis The centre line of the abdominals in front, going from the xiphoid process (see sternum) down to the pubic bone, passes through your navel. In individuals with athletic builds, this line - the linea alba can be seen and felt clearly. It is the centre of the abdominal aponeurosis which is a sheet of tendon that the muscles of the front of the abdomen are attached to one another and the skeleton. From the linea alba, the aponeurosis splits into two layers, one deep, the other superficial, making what I like to imagine is a \"\"muscle sandwich\"\" of the rectus abdominis. This is called its \"\"sheath\"\". Beyond the rectus abdominis, there is another band of aponeurosis, the linea semilunaris, which separates the rectus abdominis from the external and internal obliques. As there are two layers to these muscles, the aponeurosis sheaths these as well by dividing into three here, and attaches at the ribs. At the bottom of the abdomen, the aponeurosis forms the inguinal ligament which joins the hip crest to the pubic bone."

Having an adequate amount of strength in your obliques is important for being able to maintain proper posture so that the spine is protected. The obliques feature two separate heads and both heads are recruited when you’re performing side bends. Side Bending Correctly The side bend is an exercise that is commonly performed incorrectly, which prevents it from being effective for developing your obliques. Grip a single dumbbell and, while standing, hold it down at your side with your palm facing in toward your thighs. Begin with your torso upright. If you’re holding the dumbbell with your left hand, then tilt your torso to the left to lower the left dumbbell down toward your knee. Return to upright and then bend your torso to the right. Keep movements slow and controlled and avoid allowing your shoulders to twist when you’re bending. After you’re finished with the set, perform a set while holding the dumbbell in your other hand."

The consequences of these incisions depends on the direction of muscle fibers and the location of neurovascular bundles. Accordingly, this exercise focuses on the anatomy of the abdominal body wall. Objectives Explain why the anterior rectus sheath differs from the posterior sheath Explain how the direction of fibers in the lateral abdominal muscles resembles the direction of the grain in a sheet of 3-layered plywood. What are the implications of this for the strength and mobility of the lateral abdominal wall? Explain how the linea alba differ from the rest of the body wall, and why that make this an advantageous place for a surgical incision. Orientation The rectus abdominis muscle runs on both sides of the midline from the rib cage to the pubis. Notice how the muscle fibers run from superior to inferior. Note that the midline is not covered by muscle. Confirm this by rotating the image to 25 degrees, 50 degrees, and 90 degrees."

There are many different variations for this particular exercise, which makes oblique crunches easy for anyone to do. Exercise Instructions: Lie flat on your back on a mat with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your right hand over your right ear. Crunch your midsection up and across, trying to touch your right elbow to your left knee. Concentrate on contracting your midsection throughout the movement. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Muscles Targeted: As you bring your body into the crunch position and rotate your torso towards the opposite knee, the oblique muscles begin to contract. The oblique muscles are located on each side of your abdomen and are commonly referred to as “love handles”. These muscles will tighten and contract every time you rotate your spine."

"text": "National Academy of Sports Medicine Administration Split workouts, where 1-3 bodyparts are focused on during each workout, tend to be used whenever the volume of training for each muscle gets to be high, making a full-body workout impractical and time consuming. Some exercisers like to do upper and lower-body splits. Others like to do a push-pull split, doing chest, shoulders, and triceps (pushing muscles) and back, biceps, and legs (pulling muscles) on different workout days. The number and arrangement of split routines is limited only by one’s imagination. The split that works best for you at one time may become monotonous and routine after a while, necessitating a change. Try many different split routines to help prevent you from getting bored. Just remember there is an inverse relationship between the number of sets you do for a body part and the frequency you work it. If you do fifteen sets for your back workout, it may take 4-5 days to fully recover. Too much volume too often can lead to overtraining and poor recovery which will negate your progress.

It is particularly useful because it can be modified to suit a beginner or expert exerciser and does not require any additional equipment. Before you try any new exercise, it is helpful to understand what muscles are being used and how to perform the exercise properly to avoid injury. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Primary Muscles The primary muscles involved in scissor kicks are the hip flexors and the transverse abdominis, the deepest muscle in the stomach. The hip flexors work to lift and hold your legs slightly off the floor during the exercise. The transverse abdominis aids in maintaining your stability, posture and balance. It also pulls the abdominal wall inward, and with the help of the rectus abdominis and the obliques, it holds the abdomen flat. Because the transverse abdominis is involved in so many daily movements, it's beneficial to strengthen the muscle through exercise. Other Muscles Other muscles involved in scissor kicks include the rectus abdominis and the obliques. The rectus abdominis muscle runs vertical in front of the torso and is more superficial than the transverse abdominis."

Even so, the crunch can still help tone and develop the muscles at the front and sides of your torso, specifically the rectus abdominis and obliques. When performed regularly, this core-strengthening exercise can help improve your balance, posture, athletic performance and make daily tasks easier.

Lie on your back on an exercise mat, bend your knees and put your feet flat on the mat. Put your hands behind your head or just behind your ears, then flare your elbows out to the sides.

For thousands of years, the climate was too cold for many people, including the Eskimos and the indigenous people living in Greenland, to grow their own vegetables. Whale meat became breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whale blubber provided energy and vitamins A, C and D, and whale meat is rich in niacin, iron and protein [source: Tevuk ]. Every part of the mammal was eaten or used to light lamps and make tools and sleds. Consuming whale meat has also been woven into Japan's history and culture. Whale meat became a crucial part of the Japanese food supply after World War II, because it was a cheap source of protein for a country that was suffering from postwar poverty. This delicacy was even served to children in school lunches from the late 1940s to the early 1960s [source: Mc Curry ]. However, today's Japanese youngsters aren't keen on eating whale meat just because their elders did."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Agriculture, farming, and fishing form the primary sector of industry of the Japanese economy together with the Japanese mining industry, but together they account for only 1.3% of gross national product. Only 20% of Japan's land is suitable for cultivation, and the agricultural economy is highly subsidized. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing dominated the Japanese economy until the 1940s, but thereafter declined into relative unimportance (see Agriculture in the Empire of Japan ). In the late 19th century ( Meiji period ), these sectors had accounted for more than 80% of employment. Employment in agriculture declined in the prewar period, but the sector was still the largest employer (about 50% of the work force) by the end of World War II. It was further declined to 23.5% in 1965, 11.9% in 1977, and to 7.2% in 1988. The importance of agriculture in the national economy later continued its rapid decline, with the share of net agricultural production in GNP finally reduced between 1975 and 1989 from 4.1% to 3% In the late 1980s, 85.5% of Japan's farmers were also engaged in occupations outside farming, and most of these part-time farmers earned most of their income from nonfarming activities. Japan's economic boom that began in the 1950s left farmers far behind in both income and agricultural technology. They were attracted to the government's food control policy under which high rice prices were guaranteed and farmers were encouraged to increase the output of any crops of their own choice. Farmers became mass producers of rice, even turning their own vegetable gardens into rice fields."

"text": "Hunting the Whales June 4, 2007 Brian Duignan Animals as Commodities, Food and Farm Animals, Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping, Posts 60Tweetast week, the International Whaling Commission (IWC), an intergovernmental organization founded in 1946 to regulate the commercial and scientific hunting of whales, held its 59th annual meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. Among its notable decisions was a resolution to uphold an indefinite moratorium on commercial whaling by IWC members that had been in effect since 1986. Although the vote was symbolically important, it will have no practical effect on the whale hunting now conducted by Japan, Norway, Iceland, and certain other countries. Since the moratorium was approved, Japan has continued to kill large numbers of whales each year under a provision of the IWC’s founding treaty, the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW), that allows member countries to issue permits to their nationals to kill whales for “scientific research.” Norway, meanwhile, has been legally entitled to continue commercial whale hunting because its objection on the grounds of national interest rendered it exempt from the ban. Iceland conducted its own ostensibly scientific killing of whales from 1986 to 1989 and again from 2003; in the interim it withdrew from (1992) and then rejoined (2001) the IWC. In the face of intense international criticism–largely but not exclusively from other IWC members–Japan, Norway, and Iceland intend to kill a total of some 2,500 great whales in 2007. The IWCThe IWC was originally established “to provide for the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development of the whaling industry.” It did so by setting annual killing quotas by species for both commercial and “aboriginal” hunts (i.e., hunts by indigenous communities for subsistence purposes) and by declaring certain seasons or geographic regions closed to hunting. Since the IWC had no enforcement authority, however, its decisions were often evaded or ignored, and by the 1960s the populations of several whale species had been greatly reduced."

"text": "\"Human Interaction Why Do the Japanese Hunt Whales? Whale Wars AP Photo Japanese Whaling History Japan has a long history of whaling. Half a dozen towns can trace their whaling history back hundreds of years, to when whales were driven into nets, harpooned repeatedly and then dispatched with either a long sword or a wooden plug driven into the blowhole. Hand harpoons dating as far back as 10,000 B. C. indicate an even longer tradition of whaling in Japan. At the turn of the 20th century, Japanese coastal whaling received a boost with the introduction of steam ships and grenade-tipped harpoon guns. However, it wasn't until 1934 that Japan expanded its whaling to Antarctica. Whales helped keep Japanese citizens fed both during and after World War 2. In 1947 whale meat made up almost half of all animal protein consumed by the country. Nearly 20 years later, whales continued to make up nearly one-quarter of the Japanese diet. Japanese Culture and Pride This history is an important part of why the Japanese continue to hunt whales."

"text": "Why Whaling? Why Save The Whale? The future of Japanese whaling is currently under heavy discussion in the International Court of Justice. Arguments and counterarguments for whalinghave been much discussed in the scientific literature, policy realm and in the media, and in the coming months a final decision will be made on the future of whaling in Japan. Arguments in favour of the practice include traditional subsistence whaling (a case made for countries such as Canada and Greenland) and whaling for scientific research (the primary case made for whaling in Japan). While subsistence hunting is a sustainable practice, the degree to which scientific whaling is necessary is hotly debated, particularly as there are many ways to conduct non-lethal scientific research on whales. Whales known for their intelligence and while this is something we are still working to understand, it also plays into the debate surrounding whether or not they should be killed for research purposes. Research on intelligent animals is strictly regulated in many countries, even when it is non-lethal. Given that the measure of cetacean intelligence ranges between that of a primate and close to that of a human, the case for lethal research methods is questionable. Arguments against whaling are perhaps more intuitive: many whale populations, such as those of the sei and fin whale, are under threat from human activities and we want to conserve them."

According to a 2006 Gallup poll conducted by the Nippon Research Center and commissioned by Greenpeace, males 40 to 49 are the most likely to enjoy a piping hot plate of whale meat, followed by men between 50 and 59. The numbers aren't too surprising considering whale meat was served frequently in school lunches in the years following World War II, likely making it a sentimental favorite of children of that generation. Survey Says If a man is in his 40s, there's an 11.6 percent chance he eats whale meat \"\"sometimes.\"\" For men in their 50s, that likelihood drops to 7.4 percent. When it comes to females, however, poll participants between 30 and 39 years of age have acquired less of taste for the marine mammal. Not one answered \"\"sometimes\"\" when questioned about whether they ate whale meat, and only 10 percent said they ate the meat \"\"very rarely.\"\" A whopping 21.7 percent reported that they had \"\"never\"\" eaten whale meat."

Japan Almost immediately after the 1986 whaling ban came into effect, Japan launched its scientific whaling programme, widely recognised as a cover for its ongoing commercial whaling operation. Meat from these whales — supposedly killed for science — is then sold in food markets or given away free or at low costs to schools and hospitals in marketing drives to encourage the consumption of whale meat . The Japanese whaling fleet departs twice a year. In the North Pacific, Japanese whalers can kill up to 200 minke whales, 50 Bryde's, 100 sei whales and 10 sperm whales under the guise of scientific research. Vessels had been killing up to 935 minke whales and 50 fin whales each year in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary before the International Court of Justice ruled that this was illegal. Norway Norway only respected the IWC's whaling ban until 1993. Using a loophole in the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, Norway objected to the whaling moratorium, and resumed hunting for minke whales. Norway sets its own quota for the number of whales its whalers are permitted to kill for commercial reasons."

North Atlantic populations were extirpated (perhaps by whaling) on the European coast before AD 500 and on the American coast around the late 17th to early 18th centuries. [ 8] However, on May 8, 2010, a sighting of a gray whale was confirmed off the coast of Israel in the Mediterranean Sea, [9] leading some scientists to think they might be repopulating old breeding grounds that have not been used for centuries. [ 9] In May and June 2013 a gray whale was sighted off the coast of Namibia – the first confirmed in the Southern Hemisphere. ["

This is the reputation these whales have gotten throughout the years, perhaps because of their large size and huge teeth. We now know that Sperm whales are not dangerous to people. They do not break ships apart and swallow sailors whole. In fact, we know a lot about what Sperm whales don't do--but not very much else. Sperm whales are the largest toothed whales on the planet, and perhaps the most abundant of the great whales, but we rarely get to study them because they spend so much time underwater. Sperm whales are deep divers, holding their breath and diving thousands of feet down to feed on deep sea squid and fish. They spend 90% of their lives down deep where they can't be seen. Only rarely do these energetic animals take a break and rest at the surface."

( Detailed update at bottom. ) Original post: Whales everywhere will be jumping for joy today. Why? Japan's sham 'scientific whaling' programme has just been declared ILLEGAL in an international court!At 10am, the judges of the International Court of Justice handed down its long-anticipated decision on whether Japan's government-subsidised whaling programme in the Southern Ocean should be allowed to continue. While today's ruling did not outlaw the killing of whales for scientific research per se, it categorically stated that Japan's whaling programme in the Southern Ocean was not for scientific purposes, and the amount of whales being killed was not justifiable in the name of science. The court went on to say that Japan must stop issuing permits for this whaling. Why is this news significant? Because it's binding under international law. Both Japan (the defendant) and Australia (who brought the case before the court) have already agreed to abide by the outcome of the decision."

This article details the similarities between these very different types of planets. Properties Of Terrestrial Planets and Jovian Planets The Sun, and the planets which revolve around it, form the Solar System. The planets can be classified into two groups based on the characteristics of their composition, known as the Jovian and terrestrial planets. Main Constituents of Terrestrial Planets: These planets have a solid structure which contains metals and rocks. Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury are regarded as terrestrial planets. Due to the presence of metals and rocks, these planets have a very high density and have a solid surface. Their natural satellites are few in number. These planets are nearer to the Sun. The thin atmospheres of terrestrial planets are believed to have originated, either from the volcanic eruptions in their surfaces or from the comets which have collided with them."

The Terrestrial Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars. 3 similarities between the four planets include: They are all composed of rock & metals. They are all smaller than gas giants They all have few or no moons at all. Formation: They were formed close to the sun, where the temperatures were well suited for rock & metal to condense to create solid bits of rock. The bits of rock orbited the sun with the same speed, it was less destructive. So when they get close to each other, instead of them getting destroyed they stick together. In time these pieces of rock grow bigger because of a process called \"\"Accretion\"\" & once the pieces are big enough, gravity forms them into spherical shapes. What are the Jovian Planets (gas giants) and what are 3 things that they have in common?"

The planets move nearly in a plane, on almost concentric (and nearly circular) elliptical paths, in the same direction around the Sun, at steadily increasing orbital intervals. However, the individual properties of the planets themselves are much less regular. Figure 6.7 Sun and Planets Diagram, drawn to scale, of the relative sizes of the planets and our Sun. Notice how much larger the jovian planets are than Earth and the other terrestrials, and how much larger still is the Sun. Figure 6.7 compares the major planets with one another and with the Sun. A clear distinction can be drawn between the inner and the outer members of our planetary system based on densities and other physical properties. The inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—are small, dense, and rocky in composition. The outer worlds—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (but not Pluto)—are large, of low density, and gaseous. Because the physical and chemical properties of Mercury, Venus, and Mars are somewhat similar to Earth’s, the four innermost planets are called the terrestrial planets. ("

It was named after Io, a priestess of Hera who became one of the lovers of Zeus . With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System. [ 2] [3] This extreme geologic activity is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io's interior by Jupiter's varying pull. Several volcanoes produce plumes of sulfur and sulfur dioxide that climb as high as 500 km (310 mi). Io's surface is also dotted with more than 100 mountains that have been uplifted by extensive compression at the base of the moon's silicate crust. Some of these peaks are taller than Earth's Mount Everest. [ 4] Unlike most satellites in the outer Solar System (which have a thick coating of ice), Io is primarily composed of silicate rock surrounding a molten iron or iron sulfide core. Most of Io's surface is characterized by extensive plains coated with sulfur and sulfur dioxide frost. Io's volcanism is responsible for many of that satellite's unique features."

Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction, Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, and by volume the largest known continuous structure in the Solar System after the heliosphere. Wider and flatter than the Earth's magnetosphere, Jupiter's is stronger by an order of magnitude, while its magnetic moment is roughly 18,000 times larger. The existence of Jupiter's magnetic field was first inferred from observations of radio emissions at the end of the 1950s and was directly observed by the Pioneer 10 spacecraft in 1973. Jupiter's internal magnetic field is generated by electrical currents in the planet's outer core, which is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen. Volcanic eruptions on Jupiter's moon Io eject large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas into space, forming a large torus around the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field forces the torus to rotate with the same angular velocity and direction as the planet. The torus in turn loads the magnetic field with plasma, in the process stretching it into a pancake-like structure called a magnetodisk. In effect, Jupiter's magnetosphere is shaped by Io's plasma and its own rotation, rather than by the solar wind like Earth's magnetosphere. Strong currents in the magnetosphere generate permanent auorae around the planet's poles and intense variable radio emissions, which means that Jupiter can be thought of as a very weak radio pulsar."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Astronomy & Space Why do the Jovian planets have differential rotation and the Terrestrials do not? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: It is a common error to mistake the observed rotation of Jupiter as rotation for the planet. What we are seeing is the rotation of a thick atmosphere, so thick that it makes up the majority of the planet's size. The unseen solid core of Jupiter probably does rotate at something approximating a constant rate, but we can't measure it. Saturn, on the other hand, may not have a solid core, though we have no way of being certain about that, either. There we may be seeing nothing but a rotating collection of gases. We observe differential rotation in Saturn's atmosphere, too. One little thing of interest. Saturn's mass/density is lower than water so, if we could find a body of water large enough, Saturn would float! The same holds for Uranus and Neptune."

Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. In this lesson, you will learn about bile and its role in the breakdown of dietary fats. You will also learn how the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin help regulate these organs. Digestion We previously learned that the first section of the small intestine, called the duodenum, receives enzyme-rich secretions that help digest food. Your pancreas is one of the organs that secretes enzymes into the duodenum. The enzymes found in pancreatic juice break down all of the major nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins and fats. However, the pancreas needs a little help from the liver and gallbladder when it comes to breaking down fats. In this lesson, you will learn about the secretions of the liver and gallbladder and how these accessory digestive organs work together to break down the foods you eat.

Kidney disease can affect children in various ways, ranging from treatable disorders without long-term consequences to life-threatening conditions. Acute kidney disease develops suddenly, lasts a short time, and can be serious with long-lasting consequences or may go away completely once the underlying cause has been treated. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not go away with treatment and tends to get worse over time. CKD eventually leads to kidney failure, described as end-stage kidney disease or ESRD when treated with a kidney transplant or blood-filtering treatments called dialysis. Children with CKD or kidney failure face many challenges, which can includea negative self-imagerelationship problemsbehavior problemslearning problemstrouble concentratingdelayed language skills developmentdelayed motor skills development Children with CKD may grow at a slower rate than their peers, and urinary incontinence —the loss of bladder control, which results in the accidental loss of urine—is common.

"text": "How to Neutralize Acid in the Bladderby AUBRI JOHN Aug. 14, 2017The bladder is part of the urinary system and has the role of storing urine until you are ready to eliminate it. A properly working urinary system and bladder can hold up to two cups of urine for five hours, notes the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse. However, when body acid level is too high the result is increased bile acid production. The liver creates bile and in the process of digestion, bile acids are concentrated in the gallbladder. This complex process between the urinary and digestive systems impacts how acids are metabolized in your body. In the event of high body acidity, you can develop problems in the bladder, such as interstitial cystitis or gall stones. Depending on the severity of the condition, medical intervention and dietary changes necessitate returning your body to neutral acid-base balance.

If you’re estrogen dominant on keto then lemon water is a perfect remedy because it contains plant pectins which destroys toxins in the liver. Lemon water is also good for inflammation in the joints as well as many other benefits. Oh yes!!! Nature truly has all the substances readily available to take care of our health. The yellow fruit may be really tiny, but it packs a whole arsenal of health benefits, unmatched by any product of nature. And it’s not just the fruit pulp inside that’s beneficial, even the skin of the lemon has many useful properties. All of this at the most simplest process and cheapest cost. The most effective way of exploiting all of lemon’s benefits is by consuming it – there is a common saying that you are what you eat, and if you’re good on the inside, then you’re good on the outside, and so on. The simplest and most straight-forward way to have lemon is in its basic form – as lemon water or dilute lemon juice – a revitalizing and refreshing drink that is as healthy as it is delicious."

"text": "Kings Cakes The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6 and continues until Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. During this time of year, one of the most beloved traditions in New Orleans is that of the King Cake On the Christian calendar, the twelfth day after Christmas is known as “Epiphany”, “Twelfth Night”, or “Kings Day.” It is the day the gift-bearing Magi visited the baby Jesus, and is celebrated with its own unique rituals. The New Orleans tradition, begun in the 1870s, borrows heavily from European customs. As part of the celebration of Mardi Gras, it is traditional to bake an oval cake in honor of the three kings – the King Cake. The shape of a King Cake symbolizes the unity of faiths. Each cake is decorated in the traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple represents justice, green represents faith and gold represents power. A small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus, is baked into each cake. In New Orleans, King Cake parties are held throughout the Mardi Gras season. In offices, classrooms, and homes throughout the city, King Cakes are sliced and enjoyed by all."

"text": "Print This Page Easter Colors Have you ever wondered how the colors of Easter came to be associated with the holiday? If so, you can learn the Christian history, meaning and symbolism of Easter colors here!Purple (The Color of Lent)The color most commonly associated with the Easter season (or more specifically the season of Lent that precedes Easter Day) is purple. It is the color found in church sanctuaries throughout the world during the season. Interestingly purple was one of three colors of yarn (blue, purple and scarlet) used in abundance throughout the Jewish temple and in the clothing of Jewish priests (Exodus 25-28 and 35-39). Quite possibly these colors are significant in their meaning. The color blue is thought to represent God in the heavens, whereas scarlet/red represents man (the name for “Adam” in Hebrew can be translated “man” or “red”) and purple (the combination of red and blue) is prophetic of the coming Messiah who would be both God and man and who would serve as the mediator between God and man as a result of his suffering on the cross:“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men” (1 Timothy 2:5-6a). In ancient times, purple was considered a precious dye. Because it was so costly to make, it came to be associated with kings and royalty making it especially intriguing that the Roman soldiers placed a purple robe on Christ before his crucifixion:“The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”"

"text": "\"THE HISTORY OF MARDI GRASThe season of Mardi Gras begins on the Christian holiday of Epiphany and is rooted in ancient spring fertility festivals. It most likely began with a 3,500-year-old Greek spring fertility celebration. Once it got into Roman hands, it was renamed Lupercalia in honor of Lupercus, their pastoral god. During this circus-like orgy held in mid-February in Rome, people were given license to do anything they wanted under the guise of face masks. Under Christianity, Lupercalia was incorporated into church celebrations, but it took five centuries for the Roman Catholic Church to tame it into a celebration just for fun. The Church was in the habit of eclipsing and eventually absorbing pagan festivals. When the Catholic Church wanted to eclipse the festivities of a rival pagan religion that threatened Christianity’s existence, Christmas was born. On December 25th, the Romans celebrated the birthday of their sun god. Although it was not popular, or even proper, to celebrate people’s birthdays in those times, church leaders decided that in order to compete with the pagan celebration, they would themselves order a festival in celebration of the birth of Christ. So they chose the same day and eventually absorbed the pagan festival."

In Christianity, Lent is a time of penance, prayer, preparation for or recollection of baptism, and preparation for the celebration of Easter...... Click the link for more information.. Since early times carnivals have been accompanied by parades,masquerades, pageants, and other forms of revelry that had their origins in pre-Christian pagan rites,particularly fertility rites that were connected with the coming of spring and the rebirth of vegetation. One of the first recorded instances of an annual spring festival is the festival of Osiris in Egypt; it commemorated the renewal of life brought about by the yearly flooding of the Nile. In Athens, duringthe 6th cent. B. C., a yearly celebration in honor of the god Dionysus was the first recorded instance of the use of a float. It was during the Roman Empire that carnivals reached an unparalleled peak of civil disorder and licentiousness. The major Roman carnivals were the Bacchanalia, the Saturnalia,and the Lupercalia. In Europe the tradition of spring fertility celebrations persisted well into Christiantimes, where carnivals reached their peak during the 14th and 15th cent. Because carnivals aredeeply rooted in pagan superstitions and the folklore of Europe, the Roman Catholic Church wasunable to stamp them out and finally accepted many of them as part of church activity."

It's called that because today is traditionally celebrated as the last day of indulgence and revelry before Christians observe the annual fasting season before Easter known as Lent. But if you've ever celebrated Mardi Gras in New Orleans, home of the nation's biggest carnival parade, then you'd know that no celebration is complete without a king cake. The traditional king cake looks like a coffee cake. It's round, or oval-shaped. It's often braided, and it's served with a surprise inside. Joining us now to share a little bit more about the tradition of the king cake is pastry chef Jean-Luc Albin. He is the proprietor of Maurice French Pastries in Metairie, Louisiana, right outside New Orleans. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us."

"text": "\"Is That A Plastic Baby Jesus In My Cake? February 17, 2012 12:47 PM ETEliza Barclay Enlarge this image Sucre in New Orleans is one of many bakeries that leaves the plastic baby out of the king cake. John Rose/NPRIf you've been in New Orleans for carnival season, or if you're lucky enough to taste a cake from there that has arrived in the mail, there's a pretty good chance that yes, there is a plastic baby that comes with your cake. The baby, meant to represent Jesus, has become a fixture of the king cake ( galette des rois in France or rosca de reyes as it's called in Mexico). It's a frosted yeast dough cake that New Orleans bakeries churn out between King's Day, January 6 th, and Fat Tuesday, the last day of indulgence before Lent. But just how that baby got in the cake is a strange tale – featuring a crafty traveling salesman — that's worthy of the best Mardi Gras lore and ritual. First, let's talk a little king cake history. The custom of eating a wreath-shaped or oval cake on January 6th to honor the Three Kings goes back to Old World Europe, most notably France and Spain. At some point the French and the Spanish brought the cake to the Americas, where it seems to have been most heartily adopted in New Orleans, Mexico and some other parts of Latin America. Those early American king cakes were simple, dusted with a bit of sugar, and eaten at home with the family."

"text": "Mardi Gras 2019 is Tuesday, March 5th Mardi Gras Colors Justice, Power, and Faith In Every Costume, Cake, Bead, and Float Colored Mardi Gras Masks at Abears Cafe in Houma, Louisiana Regardless of where the celebration takes place, there are three colors traditionally identified with Mardi Gras. Each of the colors stands for a particular personal trait or cultural value. The colors are found on, and in, everything from Mardi Gras beads and throws to the colored sugar and fondant icing on King Cakes. Mardi Gras masks, clothing, floats, body paint, and artwork all share these three colors. Many people date the choice of Mardi Gras colors to 1872 when the New Orleans Krewe of Rex was formed and selected their official Mardi Gras color palette. However, the symbolism of each color probably wasn't codified until 1892 when the Krewe of Rex Parade’s theme was “The Symbolism of Colors”, and proposed the meaning inherent in each color. Mardi Gras Gold The most commonly used Mardi Gras color seems to be gold. While gold may be a favorite everyday color because it connotes wealth, in its association with Mardi Gras it symbolizes power. Mardi Gras gold can be anything from a very yellowy bright tint to a rich, almost bronze, color. Mardi Gras Purple In all things Mardi Gras, the color purple is symbolic of justice, and what is “right”."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Holidays Other - Holidays What is Beltane? How do Wiccans celebrate it?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Beltane is the last of the three spring fertility festivals, the others being Imbolc and Ostara. Beltane is the second principal Celtic festival (the other being Samhain). Celebrated approximately halfway between Vernal (spring) equinox and the midsummer (Summer Solstice). Beltane traditionally marked the arrival if summer in ancient times. At Beltane the Pleiades star cluster rises just before sunrise on the morning horizon, whereas winter (Samhain) begins when the Pleiades rises at sunset. The Pleiades is a cluster of seven closely placed stars, the seven sisters, in the constellation of Taurus, near his shoulder. When looking for the Pleiades with the naked eye, remember it looks like a tiny dipper-shaped pattern of six moderately bright stars (the seventh can be seen on very dark nights) in the constellation of Taurus. It stands very low in the east-northeast sky for just a few minutes before sunrise. Beltane, and its counterpart Samhain, divide the year into its two primary seasons, winter (Dark Part) and summer (Light Part)."

Steintragershare Facebook Tweet pinit googleplus emailprint Let Them Eat King Cake The New Orleans \"\"Times-Picayune\"\" shares a traditional recipe from their \"\"Creole Cook Book,\"\" originally published in 1901. Twelfth Night or King's Cake G o into any office in Louisiana during Mardi Gras season and you're almost sure to see employees feeding on a donut-shaped cake gaudily decorated in the colors of the Carnival (purple, green, and gold—apparently established by an early Mardi Gras king to represent justice, faith, and power, respectively). King Cakes range from simple coffee-cake-like affairs to giant concoctions filled with just about anything you can imagine shoving into a cake—including pecans, fruit, various flavors of cream cheese, and chocolate. But the secret ingredient in every King Cake is a tiny plastic or porcelain baby. The person who discovers it in his or her slice is branded as the purchaser of the next cake, and so it goes at offices, schools, and parties from Twelfth Night (12 days after Christmas) until the aptly named Fat Tuesday. In order to avoid liability, most bakeries sell the cake with the baby on the side, leaving the actual hiding to the purchaser. Fear of choking on a plastic child doesn't stop people in the Big Easy from chowing down on more than 750,000 King Cakes a year, according to the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, and many Louisiana bakeries now ship their royal confections across the country, making it unlikely that the sun will soon set on this cake's kingdom.

"text": "When it comes to metrics, it’s often said that what gets measured gets done. Part of this is human nature. Everyone has more piled on their plate than ever, and many workers find themselves constantly re-prioritizing their work activities. Therefore, metrics that have the attention of business and manufacturing leaders tend to be those that get measured and improved upon by their employee teams. Follow @LNSResearch Effectively measuring, analyzing, and improving manufacturing metrics is not as simple as it may appear. While there are certain metrics that work well for specific job roles, it’s often the case that there are multiple combinations of metric indicators needed to ensure that a larger business objective is being met. For this reason, metrics need to be aligned to larger goals and objectives. Think “SMART” goals—Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Time-Based. This mnemonic contains some key concepts. It’s important to understand the interrelationships between high-level goals and objectives as well as what actions or methods are required for an organization to achieve them—this falls under Specific."

"text": "Contents Download the Article (PDF, 75 KB)By James Bossert Vice president, Bank of America I have found Six Sigma and lean enterprise methodologies synergistic, even though they evolved from separate paths. Lean was developed by Toyota Motor Corp. as an extension of the Ford Motor Co. manufacturing system. Toyota took what it learned from Ford and advanced the concepts to a broader level. This helped improve productivity and profitability. Six Sigma as developed by Motorola was an extension of many of the quality tools and techniques already around, but Motorola added the component of financial accountability. This resulted in process improvement gains at Motorola that improved productivity and profitability. Different approaches, similar results. It was inevitable people would start to merge the approaches. The results depended on the circumstances. Results were complementary when the Champion and Six Sigma team worked to find the best combination of techniques to create a robust solution."

"text": "\"Blog The Term “Lean Production” is 25 Years Old – Some Thoughts on the Original John Krafcik Article By Mark Graban On Sep 23, 2013 Last updated Dec 27, 20151352 Facebook Twitter 52 Linkedin Pinterest People often ask me where the term “ Lean ” comes from. It's not an acronym, so it shouldn't be spelled “LEAN” (but it often is). Lean is not a synonym for “lacking or deficient” in resources, as some dictionaries will tell y ou or as it gets used in news headlines about “ surviving the lean economy .”The term “lean production” arguably was first used in a MIT Sloan Management Review article by John Krafcik that was published 25 years ago this fall ( Fall 1988 ), titled “ Triumph of the Lean Production System ” ( pdf via LEI ). In the 1980s, Krafcik, who worked with The Lean Enterprise Institute's Jim Womack in the MIT International Motor Vehicle Program is now president and CEO of Hyundai North America ( update: he's now CEO of True Car ). I'm told by LEI that Womack and Krafcik are writing an article, with their reflections, that will be published soon at lean.org. For now, you get my humble thoughts as somebody who read it 15 years ago… and again just recently. The article was assigned reading when I was a student at MIT in 1998, but until recently I hadn't returned to it since. I wanted to revisit it and write about it for the 25 th anniversary – but it was difficult to find a copy online. The article could not found on the SMR web page for the Fall 1988 issue, or via search, to be purchased or read for free. Diligent Google searches turned up just one poorly scanned version of the article from a Chinese website that seems to specialize in pirated files."

"text": "\"Introduction to Agile Development Agile software development (Agile) is a collection of software development methodologies that promote adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, continuous improvement, and a time-boxed period of time to complete a body of work. Software development is dynamic by nature, and Agile encourages rapid and flexible response to change. Because adaptability is central to its conceptual framework, teams using this approach are well-equipped to respond to changes throughout the development cycle. In addition to being a collection of methodologies, Agile software development also promotes a different way of thinking or mindset about how to build things and evolve processes to deliver continuous improvement. Agile facilitates information-sharing amongst teammates, where everyone has a say on processes and practices and decisions are made together as a team. History Concepts of incremental and adaptive software development processes date back as early as the 1950s, with growth and progress from a small vocal minority through the 1980s. It was not until the 1990s, when an assortment of similar lightweight software development methods emerged in reaction to waterfall-oriented methods, that Agile started to gain some traction. The real watershed moment for the Agile movement was the publication of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001 by a group of 17 software developers, who met to discuss the collection of lightweight development methods, which is now referred to as Agile methods. Values Emerging from the Agile Manifesto were the following set of core values: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan Principles The authors of the Agile Manifesto also agreed upon the following 12 principles: Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development."

It was introduced by engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [ 1] [2]Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995. It seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, mainly empirical, statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits. The term Six Sigma (capitalized because it was written that way when registered as a Motorola trademark on December 28, 1993) originated from terminology associated with statistical modeling of manufacturing processes. The maturity of a manufacturing process can be described by a sigma rating indicating its yield or the percentage of defect-free products it creates. A six sigma process is one in which 99.99966% of all opportunities to produce some feature of a part are statistically expected to be free of defects (3.4 defective features per million opportunities)."

What is a project management methodology? How can it be defined? In simple terms, it is a must-have to avoid failure and reduce risks because it is one of the critical success factors as well as the core competency of the management team. It is the straightforward way to guide the team through the development and execution of the phases, processes and tasks throughout the project management life-cycle. What is a Methodology? The Definition in Project Management The term “ project management methodology ” was first defined in the early 1960s when various business organizations began to look for effective ways that could simplify the realization of business benefits and organize the work into a structured and unique entity (which was called “ project ” later on). Communication and collaboration were the key criteria for establishing productive work relationships between the teams and departments within one and the same organization. Since that time, the term has been changed and modified many times, new definitions have been created, new elements and functions have been added. Today we consider a project management methodology as a set of broad principles and rules to manage a specific project that has a definite beginning and end."

This article looks at some common tools and techniques for planning a successful Kaizen event, and identifies some pitfalls to avoid. Data, Data, Data Quick Links Day 1 – Current State Documentation Day 2 – Current State Evaluation Day 3 – Characterize Future State; Plan Implementation Day 4 – Implement Future State Day 5 – Operationalize Future State and Debrief The intent of any Kaizen is improvement, specifically process improvement, and more specifically in some combination of three primary metrics: throughput, inventory and product/process cost. The metrics are established to provide a guidepost for progress toward a goal – a gauge of success (or failure). Use of metrics is non-negotiable. This means that collecting data on the metrics does not start during the Kaizen event; there must be a history of the relevant metrics to 1) justify that the Kaizen effort is even worth the time and 2) establish a baseline against which a goal can be defined and progress evaluated. Start to research and collect historical data relative to the metrics of the planned Kaizen event at least one month before the scheduled event. How much historical data is needed depends on the frequency of measurable events and variation. Some metrics, such as space needed to produce a product or distance walked by operators, do not require much effort to gather. Too often, organizations employ Kaizen as a team-based brainstorming effort without the support of data."

What is the PDCA Cycle ? The name of PDCA comes from the acronym “Plan , Do, Check, Act” ( PHVA in Spanish) , and is also known as the cycle of continuous improvement or Deming Cycle (because the name of its author, Edwards Deming). This methodology describes the four essential steps that should be carried out systematically to achieve continuous improvement , defined as a continuous way to improve the quality of our products and processes (decrease failures, increase effectiveness and efficiency, problem solving, avoid potential risks … ) . The Deming Cycle is composed for four cyclic steps , so that once finished the final stage we have to start again with the first one, and repeat the cycle again. Doing that in a company, the activities are reevaluated periodically to incorporate new enhancements .

"text": "\"Related Articles1Lean Manufacturing Vs. Six Sigma2The Differences Between TQM & Six Sigma3Advantages & Disadvantages of Six Sigma4The Strengths & Weaknesses of Six Sigma Lean Six Sigma and Six Sigma are organizational improvement programs. The concept behind the lean approach originated in post-World War II Japan, where Toyota executives created a better match for its mass production needs than that offered by the Henry Ford manufacturing system, which focused on cost-reduction in the mass production of identical products. Toyota’s new production method, designed to resolve problems in high-variety production, focused on the elimination of waste in all processes. An MIT researcher first used the term “lean” in the late 1990s to describe the waste-elimination approach to production and manufacturing. Six Sigma, which was developed in the 1980s by Motorola, stresses quality improvement. Douglas Ferguson, writing for the Institute of Management in an online article, defines \"\"lean\"\" as a philosophy and describes Six Sigma as a dynamic, problem-solving program. Lean Six Sigma combines the lean philosophy with Six Sigma’s emphasis on methodology. Lean Six Sigma and Six Sigma differ in approach and in the ultimate goals sought. A small business owner should look at the differences in terms of cost, implementation and effectiveness before implementing either organizational program in his business."

More than simply a concept, Six Sigma is a metric, a methodology, and a management system. Since its creation in 1986, it has gained such a solid reputation that many business consultants still advise its use. Background Bill Smith and Bob Galvin, both of Motorola, developed the Six Sigma quality improvement process in 1986. The idea of Six Sigma is to improve quality so that the number of defects becomes so few that they are statistically insignificant. Six Sigma also provides for the training and certification of \"\"experts\"\" in Six Sigma; standards include green belts, those who are involved in the actual implementation and usually have the assistance of a black belt; and black belts, who are responsible for the design and management of the quality improvement system. The primary tenet of Six Sigma, according to Motorola, is \"\"that leadership directly influences the quality of products. \"\" Metric Sigma is an actual term used in statistics that refers to the frequency of deviation from the standard. Six Sigma means that an error, or a variation from the standard, will occur only 3.4 times per million observations, also referred to as 3.4 deviations per million observations. Six Sigma as a metric formed the foundation upon which the Six Sigma quality improvement process is based."

"title": "https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/smart-goals.php\nSMART Goals",
"text": "Once you have planned your project, turn your attention to developing several goals that will enable you to be successful. Goals should be SMART - specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic and time-based. A goal might be to hold a weekly project meeting with the key members of your team or to organise and run a continuous test programme throughout the project. The acronym SMART has several slightly different variations, which can be used to provide a more comprehensive definition of goal setting: S - specific, significant, stretching M - measurable, meaningful, motivational A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, time-bound, timely, tangible, trackable This broader definition will help you to be successful in both your business and personal life. When you next run a project take a moment to consider whether your goals are SMART goals. To quote renowned American philosopher and writer Elbert Hubbard: Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal. Elbert Hubbard SMART Goals Specific Well defined Clear to anyone that has a basic knowledge of the project Measurable Know if the goal is obtainable and how far away completion is Find out when you have achieved your goal Agreed Upon Agreement with all the stakeholders what the goals should be Realistic Within the availability of resources, knowledge and time Time-Based Enough time to achieve the goal Not too much time, which can affect project performance Download our free SMARTER Goals template"

TTRFor the use of acronyms on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia: Acronyms. An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in NATO or laser) and sometimes syllables (as in Benelux ). There are no universal standards of the multiple names for such abbreviations and of their orthographic styling. In English and most other languages, such abbreviations historically had limited use, but they became much more common in the 20th century.

Attestations for Akronym in German are known from 1921, and for acronym in English from 1940. [ 1]Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters, [2] some dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word, [18] in contrast to an initialism (or alphabetism )—an abbreviation formed from a string of initials (and possibly pronounced as individual letters). [ 19] Some dictionaries include additional senses equating acronym with initialism. ["

Educators collect data, in a variety of forms, in many of their daily tasks. Whether data consist of anecdotal observations or complex graphs, if collected with a purpose, it can be very useful. When a student has an Individual Education Program (IEP), it is even more important. According to IDEA, the federal law governing special education in the United States, IEP teams are obligated, through Progress Monitoring Procedures, to collect data to provide evidence for a student's progress toward the goals in their IEPs. We can use data to determine the level at which a student is performing so that we can select appropriate goals and design an effective program. It may impact our teaching style or chosen strategies as we reflect the situations in which a student shows the most or least progress."

This is just as true for independent Notary Signing Agents as it is for the CEOs of multinational conglomerates. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned NSA, the best approach is to develop a growth plan focusing on business development activities designed to reach specific, concrete financial goals. Then you should follow the plan. A good way to create a business development plan is to apply the acronym SMART — Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely — to your goals. Your plan should consist of very specific activities that are measured, realistic to attain, and take place over a specific time frame. Setting SMART Goals Instead of saying, \"\"I will earn more money this year,\"\" decide how much money you want to make, say $60,000.

"text": "\"Created by BRIAN FRANCIS REDMOND, last modified by NATHAN JANICEK on Oct 02, 2016Goal Setting Theory Overview Since it was first researched five decades ago, goal-setting theory has been the most researched, utilized, and established theory of work motivation in the field of industrial and organizational psychology (Pennsylvania State University World Campus [PSU WC], 2015, L. 6). The theory began with the early work on levels of aspiration developed by Kurt Lewin and has since been primarily developed by Dr. Edwin Locke, who began goal setting research in the 1960s. The research revealed an inductive relationship between goal setting and improved production performance. A goal is the aim of an action or task that a person consciously desires to achieve or obtain (Locke & Latham, 2002; Locke & Latham, 2006). Goal setting involves the conscious process of establishing levels of performance in order to obtain desirable outcomes. This goal setting theory simply states that the source of motivation is the desire and intention to reach a goal (PSU WC, 2015, L. 6). If individuals or teams find that their current performance is not achieving desired goals, they typically become motivated to increase effort or change their strategy (Locke & Latham, 2006).

Answer by Warner Athey Confidence votes 6.2KWhatever you do, just don't take an online \"\"IQ test\"\". The only way to take a genuine IQ test is to have it administered to you and scored by a trained psychologist. The general public is strictly prohibited from having access to genuine IQ tests such as the WISC, WAIS, or the Stanford-Binet. And so if you take a test online or obtain it from anywhere other than a psychologist, then it is guaranteed to be fake and your score will be meaningless. Online so-called IQ tests generally have built in positive biases to give the test-taker a very high genius-level score, making them feel good about themselves, and encouraging them to part with their email address or credit card details in return for a \"\"full analysis\"\" that is completely made up. The question was, How do you measure your IQ. Not where do you find an IQ test. Back to the question."

"text": "\"What is the Difference Between RTI and MTSS? Jan06January 06, 2014 | By Stacy Hurst | 11 Comments0 +1The phrases “Response to Intervention”, commonly referred to as Rt I, and “Multi-Tier System of Supports”, understandably shortened to MTSS, are used interchangeably among most educators. I have heard it flippantly said on many teacher blogs and other websites that the two are one in the same. This is not necessarily true. So, what is the difference between Rt I and MTSS? For you reading experts who miss standardized tests (and who doesn’t? ), a very simplified answer would be; Rt I is to MTSS as phonemic awareness is to phonological awareness (that is, phonological awareness is commonly referred to as an ‘umbrella’ term that includes phonemic awareness). Basically, Rt I is an integral part of MTSS but MTSS is more cohesive and comprehensive in the goal of meeting the needs of all learners. Here is a brief explanation: Response to Intervention (Rt I)As most of you probably know, Rt I refers to the practice of providing effective instruction and intervention across three tiers to all students. Assessment, progress monitoring, and data-driven decision making are all components of successful Rt I implementation."

The foundation is the fundamental building block upon which everything rests. At the foundation’s core are defining your specific goals and objectives. The Goal The goal is the broad definition of what the team is working towards. In many cases, the stated outcome of the goal may seem open ended. For example, you may state, “Reduce the lead-time in power drive assembly.” That’s okay. It’s best to leave the team flexibility while still pointing them in the direction towards what they are trying to improve. While the team’s larger overarching goal should be clear, how the team goes about making it possible should enable the team’s curiosity, creativity, and collaboration to make it achievable."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Acronymic)navigation search For the <acronym> HTML tag, see HTML element § acronym. For the use of acronyms on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia: Acronyms. An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in NATO or laser) and sometimes syllables (as in Benelux ). There are no universal standards of the multiple names for such abbreviations and of their orthographic styling. In English and most other languages, such abbreviations historically had limited use, but they became much more common in the 20th century. Acronyms are a type of word formation process, and they are viewed as a subtype of blending.

Attestations for Akronym in German are known from 1921, and for acronym in English from 1940. [ 1]Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters, [2] some dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word, [18] in contrast to an initialism (or alphabetism )—an abbreviation formed from a string of initials (and possibly pronounced as individual letters).

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money What Do the Letters at the End of My Medicare Number Mean?by Irene Lang; Updated October 25, 2017When most of us turn 65, we receive a Medicare card with a number on it. The number is usually our Social Security number with a letter added to the end. The purpose of the letter is to indicate to the Social Security Administration what benefits we are entitled to. Individual Benefit The most common letter at the end of a Medicare number is \"\"A,\"\" which signifies that you worked and paid into Social Security long enough to be entitled to receive Medicare. Government employees who qualify for Medicare and are not receiving Social Security benefits will have a \"\"TA\"\" suffix. If you are disabled, you'll find the letters \"\"HA\"\" after the Social Security number. Spousal Benefit If your spouse never worked but you did, he or she is entitled to Medicare benefits through being married to you. The Medicare number in that case is your Social Security number with a \"\"B.\"\" If your spouse is deceased, the letter will be a \"\"D.\"\" If you are the spouse of a disabled worker, you will have a suffix of \"\"HB\"\" after your spouse's social security number and disabled widows and widowers will have a \"\"W\"\" suffix. Video of the Day Child Benefit A minor child who is entitled to Medicare will have a Medicare number that includes a \"\"C\"\" after the retired or deceased parent's Social Security number. Dependent Parent The dependent parents of retired workers who do not have their own Medicare is entitled to Medicare under their children's Social Security and will have an \"\"E\"\" as a suffix."

Staying in the hospital without being formally admitted can cost you thousands of dollarsby Patricia Barry, AARP Bulletin, October 2012 | Comments: 0En español | Jean Arnau spent five days in the hospital with a fractured spine — lying in a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and ID bracelet, eating hospital food and receiving regular nursing care. But when she was discharged and needed to transfer to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation, her family learned that she had never been formally admitted as an inpatient to the hospital at all. Instead, she'd been classified as an outpatient under \"\"observation\"\" — a status that would cost her thousands of dollars. Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter. Photo by Flickr/Getty Images Being classified as an outpatient under \"\"observation\"\" can spike your hospital costs. Most patients would regard as meaningless the seemingly slight distinction between the two labels — after all, they're getting exactly the same kind of care. But it can have costly consequences. Under the rules, Medicare picks up the whole tab for the first 20 days in an approved skilled nursing facility for rehab or other care, but only if someone has spent at least three full days in the hospital as an admitted patient. If instead a patient has been under observation — for all or part of that time — he or she is responsible for the entire cost of rehab. ["

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS Caremark Corporation originally established in 2005. Silverscript is a licensed Medicare part D provider whose only business revolves around providing supplemental prescription drug coverage to Medicare recipients. Silverscript does not offer health insurance, but you can search for a company that does by entering your zip code in the box provided. Providing prescription drug plans through pharmacies is quickly catching on across the United States. Pharmacies have discovered that they can offer such insurance policies at a more affordable rate when customers are willing to purchase all of their prescriptions through that pharmacy or one of its partners. Several nationally known pharmacies are adopting this practice, with some even offering on-site emergency nursing care for non-life-threatening emergencies. Silverscript Prescription Plans Although details vary from one state to the next, Silverscript offers plans in two basic categories: Their Value plan is designed for Medicare eligible customers whose prescriptions are currently at a minimum but who want to protect themselves in case their health circumstances should change in the future. This plan provides low co-payments, deductibles, and reduced prescription prices through the CVS Caremark network of pharmacies. Their second plan, known as the Plus plan, is a more comprehensive one designed for Medicare users regularly taking prescriptions."

Medicare is required to pay for medical services before Medicaid pays. The Division of Health Care Services administers the Medicare Buy-In process for a Medicaid recipient who is also eligible for Medicare. Medicare Buy-In simply means that the state pays the Medicare Part A and/or Part B premium. This ensures Medicare protection to an individual who may otherwise be unable to pay the premiums. Maximizing Medicare coverage keeps Medicaid costs down.506 A. MEDICARE ELIGIBILITYGenerally, an individual is eligible for Medicare if they or their spouseworked for at least 10 years (40 quarters) in Medicare-covered employment;is age 65 or older; andis a U. S. citizen or lawfully admitted alien who has lived in the U. S. for at least 5 years. An individual who is younger than age 65 may also be eligible if they havebeen disabled for at least 24 months; orhave end-stage renal disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant). Some individuals may be eligible for Medicare with less work experience, but may be required to pay Part A premiums.506 B. MEDICARE ENROLLMENTTo be eligible for Medicaid, an individual who appears to be eligible for Medicare must apply for and enroll in Medicare coverage. See Section 505 for information about Third Party Resources and Section 510 for information about Assignment of Rights. This includes individuals who receive Medicare Part A at no charge, but who have not elected Medicare Part B because they were not willing or able to pay the associated monthly premium."

Electronic communication means “the use of interactive communications equipment that includes, at a minimum, audio and video equipment permitting two-way, real time interactive communication between the patient, and the physician or practitioner at a distant site.” Id. Often the terms e-health, cybermedicine, and telemedicine are used interchangeably or are confused, but the main distinction relates to the amount of interaction that occurs between individuals and health care practitioners. E-health is described as “an emerging field in the intersection of medical information, public health and business, referring to health services and information delivered or enhanced through the Internet and related technologies.” Gulick, G., 12 Alb.

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions on the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit (Part D)Since 2006, a privatized Medicare prescription drug program has been offered to seniors. The Part D program provides drug coverage through numerous private insurance companies, and it seeks to control prices through competition between the plans. Unfortunately, seniors face a complex and confusing array of choices in this program, and few have been able to effectively \"\"vote with their pocketbooks\"\" for plans that offer the best value. Due to the difficulty involved in comparing plan offerings year after year, only a small percentage of beneficiaries change plans, which undermines market competition. Drug prices continue to increase at alarming rates. For many years, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare has advocated for the provision of universal prescription drug coverage through the Original Medicare program. This approach would provide seniors a simple, familiar benefit, and it would harness the combined purchasing power of all Medicare beneficiaries to contain the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs. We continue to work toward this goal. In 2010, the National Committee and allied organizations successfully advocated for a major improvement in the Part D program - the elimination of the \"\"donut hole\"\" coverage gap. The donut hole required beneficiaries to cover 100 percent of their drug expenses after a threshold was reached ($2,700 in 2009), and it exposed seniors with long-term illnesses to substantial and unusual costs."

While most people will be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare, those who are born on the 1st of the month or those who enroll themselves can have different Medicare effective dates. You can calculate your enrollment dates here. This article was updated on January 22, 2018 to include our deadline calculator When Will My Medicare Coverage Start? Like we said above, most people will be automatically enrolled into Medicare. This typically happens when you have already enrolled to receive Social Security. If this is your story, you will receive your red, white, and blue card about three months before your 65 birthday, and your coverage will begin on the 1st day of your birth month. If your birthday lands on the 1st of the month, however, then your coverage will begin on the 1st day of the prior month. An example of this is if you were born on May 1st, your Medicare coverage would start April 1."

The alpha prefix on a member’s ID must be three characters. Some member ID numbers may include alphabetic characters in other positions following the alpha prefix. Others may be fewer than 17 positions. Do not add/delete characters or numbers within the member ID. Do not change the sequence of the characters following the alpha prefix.

Jesus, guys, I'd expect this from the Linkin Park pages but this is one song that desperately needs reading closely to find any meaning. I think saying the song's about drugs is certainly selling it short a little bit, in the same way saying Space Oddity is about a fella in a rocket isn't giving that justice, either. There's a lot of references towards drugs, to be sure, but I think that's intended more as a backdrop for the lyrics than the meaning itself. Bowie has said this song was primarily about \"\"wrapping up the seventies really for myself... [it] seemed a good enough epitaph for it\"\". So it's a dirge, really, for all of Bowie's career up to 1980, and a look forward to his (then hopeful) career from then on in. I think to see that meaning, the central parts you need to look at are, well, first the beginning - \"\"do you remember a guy/in such an early song\"\", which from the start sets the meaning as looking back to Bowie's early career. The self-reflexivity of the song from the very beginning mean we're looking at the song as being about Bowie writing about himself. So it's very nostalgic."

"text": "\"Kelly Dickerson, Tech Insider Jan. 11, 2016, 3:28 PM 74,809A scene from \"\"2001: A Space Odyssey. \"\" 2001David Bowie, one of the most influential and forward-thinking songwriters of his time, died Sunday, Jan. 10 after an 18-month battle with cancer. Back in 2013, astronaut Chris Hadfield performed a cover of one of Bowie's most famous songs, \"\"Space Oddity,\"\" from aboard the International Space Station. The ISS was a fitting venue for a performance of the space-themed song, but there's a lot more behind \"\"Space Oddity\"\" than most people know. \"\" Space Oddity\"\" came out in 1969, the same year American astronauts landed on the moon, prompting many to think the lunar landing inspired the song. However, Bowie revealed in a 2003 interview with the magazine Performing Songwriter that it was actually inspired by the 1968 science-fiction film \"\"2001: A Space Odyssey\"\": In England, it was always presumed that it was written about the space landing, because it kind of came to prominence around the same time. But it actually wasn't. It was written because of going to see the film 2001, which I found amazing. I was out of my gourd anyway, I was very stoned when I went to see it, several times, and it was really a revelation to me. It got the song flowing."

"text": "\"3 Perfect Songs for Ash Wednesday March 1st, 2011By Jessica Miller Kelley1 Comment Add to Bin Crazy as it sounds, I love Ash Wednesday. Partially, I think, because it seems like such a mystical, old-world observance. Bowing my head to receive a cross of ashes while the pastor or priest intones, \"\"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” I could feel almost like I’m a robed penitent in some ancient cathedral. But when it comes to music for this somber service, older hymns can’t stir my soul the way these three contemporary songs can.1. “ Beautiful Things” by Gungor This gem made quite a splash at Catalyst in 2010, with its irregular cadence and haunting melody. Before I learned the verses, I could sing the chorus over and over like a Taize-style chant—and why not? The chorus is beautiful, and a simple, eloquent reminder of God’s grace and our own impermanence. “ You make beautiful things / you make beautiful things out of dust. / You make beautiful things / you make beautiful things out of us. ”I first heard the song played with a full worship band during a series on Job, and the opening lyrics about pain and despair certainly make it a great choice for such a theme as well.2. “"

"text": "Tupac’s Friends Say They Smoked His Ashes In A Blunt By William Breathes on August 30, 2011 Culture Graphic: Coolchaser Rapper in a wrapper: Pac’s friends claim they rolled his ashes into a blunt and smoked him. Members of The Young Outlawz rolled up Tupac Shakur’s ashes into a blunt and smoked them after the rap legend was murdered in 1996, the reunited group claims. In what has certainly proven to be a big source of publicity for group’s reunion, The Young Outlawz claimed they based their actions on Pac’s wishes as expressed in the lyrics of one of his songs, reports Peter C. Aitken of the New York Daily News. Members of the reunited group, originally formed by Tupac after his release from prison in 1995, addressed the long-standing rumors in a new video for Vlad TV.“Yeah, it’s definitely true,” said Young Noble, reports the Daily News. “ I think it was the night of, we had a little memorial for him, with his mom, his family and shit. We hit the beach, do a lot of the shit he liked on the beach. Some weed, some chicken wings, he loved orange soda and all that kind of shit. Pac loved that shit, so we were giving him our own farewell that night. “I forgot which one of us came up with it, like we need to go and do that, but we twisted up some of that Great Grandaddy California Kush and mixed the big homie with it,” Young Noble said. Another member of The Young Outlawz, E. D. I., took credit for the macabre idea."

Len is the brother-and-sister duo of Marc and Sharon Costanzo. They are from Toronto; this song hit #1 in their native Canada. >>Marc Costanzo told Stereogum the story of the song: \"\"I was at an outdoor electronic music festival up north, like a rave, and I just got caught up in the night. The song is about how I felt, and then it was exaggerated by the fact that I'm sitting in the middle of a field looking at the stars, about 1000 feet away from the stage, watching everybody dancing at 3 a.m. And I wrote part of it on my leg and a lot of it on a napkin. And then we were hanging out at Brendan [Canning, of Broken Social Scene]'s place, and Brendan ended up playing that Andrea True Connection record, and I just sampled it right then. I looped it and I just tied the two together. \"\" This was featured in the 1999 movie Go staring Katie Holmes."

"text": "\"Macabre Mother Goose: The Dark Side of Children's Songs As if we need experts to tell us nursery rhymes are downright creepy, folklorists Iona and Peter Opie confirm it in their Oxford English Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes. They call the tunes, most of which made their way into print by the eighteenth century, \"\"fragments of ballads or of folk songs, remnants of ancient custom and ritual and may hold the last echoes of long-forgotten evil.\"\" The rhymes were never actually meant for children; many were political statements, couched in enough nonsense to protect the singer from being prosecuted for treason, and set to a fun melody that was easy to remember and pass along. If children overheard, there was no real concern. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries kids were not treated like kids, but more like \"\"adults in miniature,\"\" according to the Opies. But as the rhymes were published for children in popular tomes like Mother Goose and Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, some adults began to fear that happy songs about murder and fatal illnesses might have a negative effect on the playground crowd. As early as the nineteenth century, authors like Samuel Taylor and Sarah Trimmer tried to alter nursery rhymes to make them more suitable to young ears, worried the macabre nature of some songs might inspire sadistic tendencies and create a race of children akin to The Omen. But these authors didn't anticipate the internet, or public libraries for that matter. These are some of the lyrics from nursery rhymes and other children's songs you may have forgotten, you may have never heard, or may have haunted you for years...\"\"Ring 'o Roses\"\"/\"\"Ring Around the Rosie\"\"Ring-a-ring-a-roses, A pocket full of posies Ashes!

"text": "\"Entertainment15 Craziest Urban Legends of Rock and Roll Some of the most outrageous rumors start with a kernel of truthby John Birmingham Tuesday, December 6, 2016Tags: music5 / 16Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. As we celebrate Jim Morrison's December 8th birthday, join us in dissecting some of rock and roll's most notorious urban legends. Jim Morrison Is Alive—and So Is Elvis!Urban Legend: It's just a hoax. To pull a disappearing act and escape the limelight, the Doors frontman faked his death—as did Elvis Presley several years later—and some other guy is buried in his grave in Paris. Kernel of Truth: What do you think? Paul Is Dead Urban Legend: Paul Mc Cartney was killed in a car crash in 1966, but the Beatles kept it secret, replacing him with the winner of a Paul look-alike contest. Kernel of Truth: Mc Cartney's Mini Cooper was involved in a collision, but Paul wasn't in it. Yet fans found many clues of his demise, from the \"\"funeral procession\"\" on \"\"Abbey Road\"\" to John Lennon saying \"\"I buried Paul\"\" in \"\"Strawberry Fields Forever.\"\" Lennon's actual words: \"\"Cranberry sauce. \"\" Debbie Harry Met Ted Bundy Urban Legend: In the early '70s, the future Blondie singer accepted a ride from a stranger in New York, but became alarmed when she saw his car had been stripped of inside door and window handles."

The use of irony is quite brilliant and I love the poignant and deeply significant line \"\"Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.

Ice Cube spins it beautifully with this great and sometimes humorous track."

I have been to weddings where the maid of honor was dressed identically to the bridesmaids but wore a hairclip or a piece of jewelry that distinguished her as the maid of honor, weddings where the maid of honor wore the same style dress in a different color, and to weddings where she wore a different color or style dress. The last wedding I went to, the maid of honor and the bridesmaids wore identical dresses (I was actually the greeter at that wedding and my dress was similar but slightly different to indicate that I was not a bridesmaid). A year ago I went to a wedding where the bridesmaids wore identical dresses and the maid of honor wore a dress that was longer and a different style and color. For that wedding, the bride only chose the dresses for her bridesmaids and allowed the maid of honor to pick out her own dress.3.3k Views Your response is private.

"text": "Seating Procedures The seating of family and guests at the ceremony is determined by the floor plan of the church and the number of guests attending the wedding. The following guidelines describe the most common seating situations and procedures. House of Worship with Center Aisle The bride’s section for seating guests of the bride is on the left as one faces the altar; the groom’s section is on the right. Parents occupy the first pews; the fathers are seated closest to the aisle. Relatives sit with the parents and in the pews immediately behind them. The processional and the recessional are down the center aisle. House of Worship with Two Main-Aisles and No Center Aisle If relatively few people will be present, the right aisle can be treated as if it were a center aisle in all details, and the rest of the pews ignored. The marriage is held at the head of the right aisle. For a medium-sized wedding, all the guests may be seated in the center section. The processional progresses up the left aisle and the recessional down the right aisle."

"text": "\"Wedding Shower Traditions Some traditions are lots of fun!By Family Time Print: Full Page Text Only Email: Article Find: More Articles Share At a traditional bridal shower, two customs often are honored — all in good fun! They are the wishing well and the bride's bonnet or bouquet. Some brides may object to these, but if the bride is game, the maid of honor and other bridesmaids will have a good time with both. The Wishing Well The wishing well is for small, inexpensive kitchen or household gifts, usually under ten or 20 dollars. The wishing well can be made from a large cardboard box covered with white or pastel wrapping paper. Attach a lace umbrella to the side of the box, or make a roof from another box. Guests put their gifts in the \"\"well\"\" when they arrive. Be sure to announce the wishing well on the shower invitation and indicate if these are the only gifts. For many showers, they are in addition to more significant gifts. If the gifts are supplements to the larger gifts, the bride may not open the smaller ones during the shower in the interest of time."

"text": "Saturday, May 29, 2010Things you should know in advance as a bride that no one will tell you Posted in Tips, Weddings You will probably be given plenty of advice prior to the day of your wedding, but sometimes there are some rather important aspects that people leave out. So here are some things you might not have thought about in advance, and some solutions regarding what to do about them. Wedding dresses are VERY hot. I don’t mean hot in a sexy way, I mean temperature. Unless you get a sheath dress that is very simple, and you aren’t wearing any special undergarments like spanx or a corset, you will be much warmer than you normally are. Stunning wedding dresses can often credit their enchanting appearance to layers of crinoline, taffeta, silk, beading, embroidery, lace, and swarovski crystals. Unfortunately, all this finery is also the perfect mix to create a very well insulated dress that retains all of your body heat. When you go and try on your dress at the dress shop, you may notice at first that the store is set at the temperature of an icebox. This is to make those trying on the dresses more comfortable. Unless you choose to get a short dress, this unexpected rise in temperature is basically unavoidable."

I’ve already shared that aspect of my big day, so today I wanted to share some other things I learned on my wedding day in hopes that what I share will help another bride-to-be on her special day.1. Don’t wear heels for your rehearsal, unless you’re a frequent heel wearer. I’m not a big heel wearer because I’m tall enough sans shoes. But I wore 3 inch wedges for our wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. HUGE mistake. I was struggling to walk in my 2 inch heels 3 hours into my wedding day. If you do wear heels for your rehearsal pop on some flats for the rest of the evening, especially if your feet aren’t conditioned to walk in heels."

Dressing the Mother of the Bride -Tips for Deciding what Color to Wear The most often asked question asked by a Mother of the Brides is “what color should the mother of the bride wear?” Choosing the right color is stressful and scary. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration such as the time of year, the formality of the event, how the color photographs, the color of the bridesmaids dresses and the color of the wedding flowers, not to mention what looks good on you. How can you be certain that you are choosing the right color? Here are 5 tips for deciding what color to wear when you are Mother of the Bride: Excerpt from Mother of the Bride Monotone One option is to wear a mother of the bride dress in the same general color family as the bridesmaids. This is a classy way to co-ordinate, but still be a little different. For example, if the bridesmaids are in lavender, the Mother of the Bride is in eggplant. Contrast Another idea is to choose a Mother of the Bride dress in a color that is directly opposite on the color wheel to the bridesmaids’ dresses."

Photo by Westlund Photography Your maid of honor is your number one gal—and has put in the pre-wedding time and effort to prove it!—so of course, you want everyone to know that she’s playing an extra-special role on your wedding day. And while dressing her differently from the rest of your ‘maids is a quick and easy way to set her apart, that might not fly with your wedding-day aesthetic. We asked our experts to share a few different ways to make sure your MOH stands out, no matter what you want your bridal party portraits to look like. When it comes to dressing your MOH, there are a number of options that range from soft and subtle to totally eye-catching. There’s definitely a choice that will work great for you (and your bestie)! And remember: it's up to you whether you want to switch up your MOH's dress—if not, no problem. Subtle Photo by Jenna Mc Elroy If you want all of your bridesmaids to be matchy-matchy, but still want to distinguish your maid of honor, keep the change super simple. When you’re picking your bridesmaids’ dresses, opt for a line that offers multiple neckline or strap options in the same colors and fabrics. This way, she can rock a strapless neckline while everyone else has cap sleeves, or can go for a one-shoulder design instead of a sweetheart neckline."

"text": "\"Interesting facts On this page, we have gathered some interesting facts about butling and the private service profession. We also try to shed some light on the history of butling. The word butler derives from the old French bouteillier, and identified the cup-bearer or the one in charge of the bottles in large households. Bottle and the French equivalent both come from the medieval Latin buticula, a diminutive of buttis, a cask, which is also the origin of the English word \"\"butt\"\", given to large wooden container for liquid. The beer cellar in medieval times would have contained butts or wooden casks, not glass bottles. So the buttery originally had nothing to do with butter but was the place for storing the butts. Only later was the word extended to mean somewhere that provisions in general were stored, perhaps because people mistakenly made that association. Chief Cup-Bearer Through a complicated process that had to do with the loss of gentlemen servants and changes in social organization, the butler slowly rose to be in charge not only of the buttery, but also of the ewery (where the napkins and basins for washing and shaving were kept) and the pantry (where the bread, butter, cheese and other basic provisions were stored), and later still he took over the cellerer's duties of looking after the wine. This eventually became one of his principal duties. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the role of the butler reached its full flowering as head of the male domestic servants, in larger households sometimes the butler was given a whole suite of rooms dedicated to his various functions."

Customs are changing and traditions are fading in both Korea and Australia, but I am going focus on the main stream cultural differences between the two countries. Will you marry me? Before you pop this question in Korea you should have arranged an \"\"official\"\" meeting with her father to basically get his OK on your relationship with his daughter and give him the opportunity to ask you some big questions (you can read my blog post <here> ). Traditionally in Korea the boyfriend and the girlfriend won't meet their respective parents unless things get to ultra serious (i.e. serious discussion of marriage). I upset the apple cart a little when dating my girlfriend (now wife). I met him before orgianizing an \"\"official\"\" meeting and committing to marrying his daughter. He never treated me badly, but he was very stanoffish and not really that friendly. All that changed after I committed to marrying his daughter. In Australia on the other hand things are a lot different."

Lead the Bridesmaid Troop This is probably the most important order of business your maid of honor will have. Between directing the other bridesmaids through their duties, making sure everyone gets their dresses , going to fittings and providing them with the details for all prewedding parties, she'll be responsible for leading the charge and taking the reins. Of course, your other bridesmaids will have their fair share of things to do and should certainly assist her (she'll probably need lots of help planning your bachelorette party, after all), but your maid of honor should be the \"\"director\"\" at the end of the day. This doesn't stop when the wedding weekend begins, either. She should also be responsible for seeing that all bridesmaids get to the rehearsal; coordinating transportation and lodging (if necessary); and making sure all the bridesmaids have the correct bouquet and get their hair and makeup done on time.

In all the productions of Hamlet that I've seen, she is interpreted as an innocent girl in love with the doomed Prince. He breaks her heart, and her sanity goes with it. She drowns herself out of madness. But I think her madness has method to it. In Ophelia's first scene (I, iii), her brother Laertes warns her to beware of Hamlet's affection for her:\"\"For Hamlet and the trifling of his favor, Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood... no more. \"\" In other words: the Prince is toying with you.

"text": "\"You are here: Home / Archives for Etiquette October 12, 2009 by Jamie Jamison Adams What Is The Correct Wedding Procession For A Catholic Wedding? Ask The Celebration Advisor: For a Catholic wedding ceremony on Long Island, NY, in the wedding processional, what side of the aisle does the bride's father walk on when he escorts the bride down the aisle? I've gotten different answers to this question. Sheila Wedding Expert Reply: According to the Catholic Rites of Marriage, the procession should be as follows: Lectors, and altar servers go first, followed by the priest, and then the bride and bridegroom. Their parents and two witnesses may escort the bride and groom as dictated by local custom. However, in the United States, the bride is usually escorted by her father with the bride on the left and the father on the right. I suggest consulting with the priest who will be officiating the wedding ceremony. Each parish may have its preferred wedding procession tradition.

Being the maid of honor for an important woman in your life can be a wonderful and memorable experience. It can also be an awkward and stressful one if your responsibilities are not clearly defined or if you are not familiar with wedding party etiquette. One aspect of wedding planning that can be especially confusing for the maid of honor is which costs she is expected to pay for. Wedding Attire The maid of honor is responsible for the cost of her own wedding attire, including the dress, shoes and accessories. Travel Costs All members of the wedding party are expected to pay their own travel and hotel expenses. Gifts The maid of honor should expect to give one bridal shower gift and one wedding gift. If she attends multiple showers, she is not required to bring a gift to each one. Bridal Shower Bridesmaids split the cost of a bridal shower with the maid of honor. Bachelorette Party Sometimes the maid of honor and bridesmaids pay for the bachelorette party but more commonly, each attendee pays for herself and chips in a little extra to cover the bride's costs."

"text": "Home » Produce How to Use Marigolds in the Garden to Repel Deer By Melissa Lewis; Updated September 21, 2017Deer dislike some plants, specifically plants with a strong fragrance, such as marigolds. In general, marigolds experience little deer damage compared to other plants in the garden. However, deer will eat almost any plant when they are hungry, so planting marigolds will not completely get rid of the deer in your garden. Choose marigolds that are healthy and already blooming for immediate results. Choose a location in full sun to plant your marigolds. Start around the perimeter of your garden or along the edge of your property. You can also intermix clumps of marigolds (three to five plants) with your other plants within the garden. Do this especially near the plants deer prefer, such as hostas and daylilies. Amend the top 6 to 10 inches of the planting site by turning it over with a hoe or tiller. Mix in about 2 to 3 inches of leaf mold, pine bark or similar organic matter."

Roman birthday celebrations were when family and friends would gather together with gifts. Those gifts were often in the form of flowers and birthday celebrations were not just for individuals, they were also a way of honouring Roman Gods with altars decorated with flowers. During the Victorian era a language of flowers was developed. As the time was conservative, etiquette dictated that the expression of love or affection was taboo. Specific flowers eventually had a meaning attached to them to allow the passage of a secret, personal romantic message between two lovers. The introduction of the Language of Flowers is credited to Mary Wortley, Lady Montague, the wife of the Ambassador to Turkey. Her ‘secret messages’ were first used in England and gained popularity with many cultures. The word used to refer to plants is ‘flora’ and that was the name of the Roman Goddess of Flowers. A Flora Festival, known as Floralia, was celebrated in early spring and centred on flowers and two temples were dedicated to Flora in Rome."

In most herbal reference works it is called calendula, its Latin name, so the two names are interchangeable. However, for the purpose of this article, we’re strictly speaking in reference to the calendula variety of marigold, or what are also known as “pot marigolds. ”Marigolds are found almost anywhere in the world. They grow easily, bloom reliably, and have few insect and disease problems. Marigolds are highly useful for medicinal purposes such as headaches, toothache, swelling, and strengthening the heart. They have also been used in cooking as well. History It is thought that marigold originated in Egypt and was first introduced to Britain and other countries by the Romans. It was one of the earliest cultivated flowers. The ancient Greeks, who used the petals for decoration, also knew of marigold’s other uses, such as coloring for food, make-up, dying fabrics, and medicinal uses."

The Day of the Dead is also celebrated in areas of the United States, such as California, Texas, and many others, in which the Mexican/American heritage exists. November 2nd is the official date for Day of the Dead, although it is celebrated between October 31st and November 2nd. These dates correspond with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. This correspondence results from the Catholic Church's efforts to \"\"find similarities between the indigenous and Christian beliefs.\"\" This celebration has a complex history that has been transformed through the years. Today the celebration takes place at about the same time ancient corn festivals were celebrated, when food from a plentiful harvest was shared with the deceased. Now certain customs vary within different regions. The best way to describe this holiday is to say it is a time when family members who have died are remembered. In Mexico, this festival is considered to be the most important holiday of the year."

Calendula is a genus of plants in the Daisy Family. It includes the popular Pot Marigold, Calendula officinalis. But 'marigold' is a word also applied to species of Tagetes and includes the well-known African Marigolds.spiderman · 7 years ago0 0 Comment Calendula Marigold Source (s):https://shrinks.im/a9Kv3crosslin · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Marigold Calendula Source (s):https://shrinke.im/a8Mg8loverde · 1 year ago0 0 Comment No although they are both from the Asteraceae family--which includes many plant species-- they are different species of plant. Calendula is often called pot marigold because the flower resembles the marigold flower minus the musky scent. It is also a medicinal plant and a salve made from it's flowers is good for scrapes and burns. Marigold has no medicinal value, but it is very good at keeping some bugs out of other plants.

The types of plants I grow always changes, but there are a several annual flowers that are staples in my gardens, and they are some of the easiest seeds to start too. For these annual flowers, I collect the seeds every fall, and sow the seeds each spring. I thought it would be fun to write a top five list of annuals that are easy to grow from seed. There’s no order to this list, but I chose these five because they are some of the easiest seeds to start. It’s also easy to collect the seeds, which means no extra money out of your pocket.5 Easy Annuals to Collect and Grow From Seed1. Zinnia Zinnias Zinnias make a wonderful addition to the gardens. They add tons of color and make great cut flowers. Butterflies and hummingbirds love them too. I would even go as far as to say that zinnia seeds are quite possibly the easiest seeds to start either indoors or directly in the garden."

In the short story Marigolds by Eugenia Collier, a girl named Elizabeth and her family struggle through living in the time of the Great Depression. Elizabeth is an African American girl that is on the threshold of womanhood. Elizabeth's family is very poor and is forced to live in a shantytown. Elizabeth and her family have to live through the struggle of poverty, poignant and meaningful arguments in the family, and Elizabeth is caught between the chaotic emotions of a child and a woman. Elizabeth & her family are struggling through the \"\"punishment\"\" called poverty. Elizabeth's difficulty coping with her poverty is mainly what influences her to destroy the marigolds in Miss. Lottie's yard. In the beginning of the story Collier expresses an image which resembles the town where Elizabeth is forced to live an unprivileged life."

"text": "Home »Produce Marigolds as an Insecticide By Kim Hoyum; Updated September 21, 2017Marigolds are most useful in repelling or warning away bugs when planted along with vegetables and fruits. This does not work on all bugs, and works best with non-hybridized, older varieties of marigolds, which have a stronger smell. The marigold family has several types; check hardiness and recommended soils before planting. Marigolds of most types work best on soil nematodes. History Marigolds originated in Central America. They are now inhabitants of much of Asia, Europe and the Americas; they have been used in perfumes, dyes, inks, paints, ornamental arrangements, in landscape design, and in religious ceremonies. Along the way, their insect-repellent properties were noted. These plants are sometimes confused with the European-origin calendula, also called marigold, and are even sold as calendula, but do not have the same properties. Function Organic gardeners say that marigolds keep the soil free of plant-damaging nematodes, and discourage many insects in the garden. They may, however, attract spider mites and slugs."

A particular species of marigold flower, Calendula officinalis (commonly just called calendula or “pot marigold”), is used to make healing herbal ointments, teas, tinctures and topical treatments that have been in existence for almost 1,000 years. While marigolds of the tagets genus are usually planted in gardens to repel bugs, add color and give off a pleasant smell, marigolds of the Calendula genus are utilized for their many anti-inflammtory, antispasmodic and antifungal compounds. ( 1) In fact, according to a report published in Pharmacognosy Review, more than 200 different commercial and medical formulations now contain concentrated calendula marigold extract. ( 2)Benefits and uses for Calendula officinalis marigolds include treating conditions, such as rashes, allergies, eczema and dermatitis; pain, swelling and redness caused from muscle cramps, muscular injuries or sprains; eye inflammation and itchiness caused by conjunctivitis; and fungal infections, including athlete’s foot, candida, ear infections and ringworm. Marigold Flowers Chemical Description and Marigold Uses Calendula officinalis is in the plant family known as Asteraceae or Compositae. Calendula marigolds are yellow-orange in color and form small florets of petals that are harvested and dried for their numerous medicinal properties. While there are various species of marigold flowers grown around the world, calendula is considered to be the most medicinal.

A second cohort study, the Whitehall II Study, [2] was conducted from 1985 to 1988 and examined the health of 10,308 civil servants aged 35 to 55, of whom two thirds were men and one third women. A long-term follow-up of study subjects from the first two phases is ongoing. The studies, named after the Whitehall area of London and led by Michael Marmot, found a strong association between grade levels of civil servant employment and mortality rates from a range of causes: the lower the grade, the higher the mortality rate. Men in the lowest grade (messengers, doorkeepers, etc.) had a mortality rate three times higher than that of men in the highest grade (administrators).

S. A larger cousin to otters, weasels and mink, the wolverine has a broad head, small eyes and short rounded ears with dark brown fur, and often has a lighter-colored face mask and stripe running down both sides of its body. Typically weighing less than 35 pounds, the wolverine is powerfully built and has short legs with wide feet for traveling across the snow. Did You Know? Wolverines have unique coloration patterns on their face, neck, and chest that can allow researchers to identify individual animals based on photos showing the patterns. These animals are a vital part of ecosystems in northern climes, and a great ambassador of the wild places they inhabit and the melting snow they require. Wolverines are also exceedingly rare, with scientists estimating that fewer than 300 wolverines may live in the lower 48 states, possibly fewer. Diet Wolverines are opportunistic feeders and eat a variety of foods depending on availability. In the winter they primarily scavenge dead animals, while in the summer their diet consists mainly of smaller mammals such as porcupines, hares, marmots and ground squirrels. They can also take down much larger animals, including caribou and moose, when circumstances such as deep snow are in their favor. Did You Know?"

"text": "\"Who Gives a Shit About the Fucking Marmot? February 26, 2009 ~ Filed Under: Dudeman Natureby Rev. Art Schaub It’s obvious to any Nature Dude that the Dude really was no park ranger. His misidentification of a ferret for a marmot reveals that when it came to zoological knowledge, he was out of his element. However, where some Dudes may shrug off the marmot comment as a random misidentification, Dudeman Nature sees a very complex case of deep, symbolic connection between Dude and marmot, ferret and Nihilist. Oh, yes. I would suggest that the ferret, domesticated from a family of cold blooded, ruthless killers known as the Mustelidae is the perfect totem animal for those who believe in nothing and will do anything to get something: that is, Nihilists. Conversely, the marmot — a lazy, grass nibblin’, sun lounging and usually found snoozing, denizen of the peaceful, highland meadows — is a top-notch mammalian Dudeist totem extraordinaire. If we recall the scene, the Dude has relaxed himself into a state of utter Dudevana by adherence to, what appears to me to be, a strictly regimented ritual, complete with a soothingly warm tub of water, soft candlelight, a smouldering spliff and the therapeutic tones of one great Goliath of a Dude animal — the whale. Indeed, the Dude may be a deadbeat when it comes to mammalian taxonomy but in this scene, he shows his true mastery of returning to the womb of creation. For a Dude wrapped in the confines of the urban jungle of Los Angeles, this is quite an accomplishment."

Older male offspring have been shown to help thermoregulate younger siblings during the cold alpine winters. Occasionally sons may mate with their mothers. About half the adult females will breed in a given year. Litter sizes are small, about two and a half pups. Active seasons are relatively long, five and a half months, but young tend not to disperse for at least 3 years. Sometimes new adult males move into a social group and kill pups."

From forests to prairies to deserts, squirrels are able to live in many different places. Within their individual environments, some species of squirrels live mainly in trees. Some live mostly on the ground, and still others create burrows underground. Squirrels, such as the grey squirrel, make nests in trees from twigs and leaves. They will sleep in these nests and will also use them to seek refuge from inclement weather such as severe cold or rain. Grey squirrels often make themselves a nuisance when they make nests in the attic of someone’s home. In such cases they sometimes will need to be trapped and removed. Eastern grey squirrels typically lives in all of the Eastern United States and parts of Canada, whereas the Western grey squirrel is found mainly along the Western Coast of the United States and Canada. Chipmunks live in many parts of the United States."

They have a proud bearing and people are drawn to their unusual white/gray color. Snow leopards are also very elusive and few people have seen them in the wild. They are rare and endangered and live in some of the most extreme high altitude and cold climate on earth. Read and enjoy many astounding snow leopard facts on this page. How many Snow Leopards are left in the wild? Researchers and conservationists estimate there are only between 3000 to 6000 snow leopards still surviving. They live in the rugged mountainous regions of 12 countries – Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Why are snow leopards endangered?"

This epidemic now known as the \"\"Black Death\"\" was an outbreak of bubonic plague which had begun somewhere in the heart of Asia and spread westward along trade routes. The consequences to Europe were profound. Besides immeasurable pain and grief, traditional Medieval society was thrown into chaos, economies were fractured, the Church lost status, and art and literature took a turn for the gruesome and bizarre. At the same time, the plague brought benefits as well: modern labor movements, improvements in medicine and a new approach to life. Indeed, much of the Italian Renaissance—even Shakespeare's drama to some extent—is an aftershock of the Black Death. Today its repercussions may be felt in the resistance to AIDS seen in some European populations. By any measure taken, the Black Death was world-shattering and shows how even the smallest of things, the microbial world, can at times steer the course of human civilization.

By then, good farmland had been overworked, and new fields were proving only marginally productive."

Although the cats freely cross the international boundaries of 12 countries, their secretive behavior and remote habitat among the highest mountains in the world add to their mystery. Because of their shy behavior and uncanny, almost mystical ability to disappear among the rocks, snow leopards have entered the folklore of local peoples in many countries and have been described as shape-changing mountain spirits. Snow leopards are almost impossible to locate and study in the wild because they blend in with their surroundings so well. Add the extreme conditions of cold and steep terrain, often beyond the limits of human endurance, and it is extremely difficult to radio tag snow leopards for research purposes. Smoky gray and blurred black markings on a pale gray or cream-colored background provide the snow leopard with superb camouflage in the mountains. These “spots” are arranged in distinct rows and get paler in the winter. No wonder this medium-sized cat has been called the ghost cat of the Himalayas! Snow leopards have dense fur not found on cats in warmer climates. They move to different altitudes along with the summer and winter migrations of their prey animals, so their coats vary from fine in the summer to thick in the winter."

"text": "Muscles of Mastication – Origin, Insertion, Supply & Functions November 4, 2012 by Dr. Chetan 1 Comment The muscles of mastication are the muscles that are needed for mastication. Mainly it is in the movement of the mandible that the help of these muscles is required since it is the only movable bone in the skill. The Lateral Pterygoid, Masseter muscle, Medial Pterygoid and the Temporalis are the main muscles taking part in the process of mastication. Each of the muscles has its own function, and they are located at particular positions which would affect the movement of the jaws and in the end, the process of mastication. Here are the various muscles of mastication: Medial Pterygoid Muscle The infratemporal fossa is occupied by the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles. A portion of the ramus of the mandible has to be removed to see them. The medial pterygoid muscle and the masseter muscle are exactly similar. Origin of Medial Pterygoid The medial pterygoid muscles originate from the lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone with few of its fibers arising from the maxillary tuberosity. Insertion of Medial Pterygoid The fibers are inserted into the mandibular ramus while running downward, backward and even slightly laterally. Functions of Medial Pterygoid Elevation (Bilateral)Protrusion (Bilateral)Contralateral excursion (Unilateral)Blood Supply of Medial Pterygoid Second Branch of maxillary artery Nerve Supply of Medial Pterygoid Undivided Branch of mandibular nerve of Trigeminal Nerve Lateral Pterygoid Muscle The shape of the lateral pterygoid muscle is almost like a triangle, having an inferior and a superior head."

For the range of diseases affecting the joint, see Temporomandibular joint pathology. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction Synonyms Temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, others [1]Temporomandibular joint Specialty Oral medicine Temporomandibular joint dysfunction ( TMD, TMJD) is an umbrella term covering pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (the muscles that move the jaw) and the temporomandibular joints (the joints which connect the mandible to the skull ). The most important feature is pain, followed by restricted mandibular movement, [2] and noises from the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) during jaw movement. Although TMD is not life-threatening, it can be detrimental to quality of life, [3] because the symptoms can become chronic and difficult to manage. TMD is a symptom complex rather than a single condition, and it is thought to be caused by multiple factors. [ 4] [5] However, these factors are poorly understood, [6] and there is disagreement as to their relative importance. There are many treatments available, [7] although there is a general lack of evidence for any treatment in TMD, and no widely accepted treatment protocol. Common treatments include provision of occlusal splints, psychosocial interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy, and pain medication or others. Most sources agree that no irreversible treatment should be carried out for TMD. ["

Working with all the other muscles in the jaw, it can close the teeth with a force of 55 pounds on the incisors and 200 pounds on the molars. It is the primary chewing muscle. Fun Fact: In 1986, Richard Hofmann set a Guinness record for having a bite strength of 975 pounds for two seconds; which is equivalent to that of a 800 pound grizzly bear! The origin of the Masseter muscle is in the Zygomatic Arch. It is divided into the superficial and deep sections. The superficial section is located on the Masseteric tuberosity and is thick and attaches to the cheekbone, and the deep section is located on the outer surface of the mandibular surface and is small, but a more muscular muscle that attaches to the mandible. This Masseter muscle works with three other muscles: temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid, to elevate the jaw and create the chewing motion. The lateral pterygoid opens the mouth while the other two close it."

This mass can then be swallowed with ease and further digested as it passes along the alimentary canal. Apart from the teeth and the tongue, certain muscles known as the masticatory muscles partake in specific movements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during this process to allow the initial stages of digestion to occur.

D. LANGDON, F. D.s. R.c.s., F. R. C. S. Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kings College School of Medicine and Dentistry, Denmark Hill, London, SE5 8RX Summary. The use of the masseter muscle cross-over flap is described for reconstruction in the floor of mouth, retromolar trigone, lateral pharyngeal wall and posterior palate areas. Various modifications are described which increase the versatility of this readily available flap. Case reports are used to illustrate the applications of this flap. Introduction In February 1987 Tiwari described three cases of T2 carcinomas arising in the retromolar fossa, palatoglossal fold and tonsillo-lingual sulcus regions for which reconstruction following radical tumour ablation was accomplished by detaching the masseter muscle from the angle of the mandible, bringing it across the mandible and suturing it to the posterior margin of the mylohyoid muscle before approximating the buccal mucosa to the mucosa of the floor of the mouth, tongue or pharynx."

"text": "Chapter 11. The Muscular System75 11.3 Axial Muscles of the Head, Neck, and Back Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the axial muscles of the face, head, and neck Identify the movement and function of the face, head, and neck muscles The skeletal muscles are divided into axial (muscles of the trunk and head) and appendicular (muscles of the arms and legs) categories. This system reflects the bones of the skeleton system, which are also arranged in this manner. The axial muscles are grouped based on location, function, or both. Some of the axial muscles may seem to blur the boundaries because they cross over to the appendicular skeleton. The first grouping of the axial muscles you will review includes the muscles of the head and neck, then you will review the muscles of the vertebral column, and finally you will review the oblique and rectus muscles. Muscles That Create Facial Expression The origins of the muscles of facial expression are on the surface of the skull (remember, the origin of a muscle does not move). The insertions of these muscles have fibers intertwined with connective tissue and the dermis of the skin. Because the muscles insert in the skin rather than on bone, when they contract, the skin moves to create facial expression ( Figure 1 ). Figure 1."

These disorders are often difficult to diagnose, as the presenting symptoms can be variable. Occlusal splint design and function can be considered an example of the art and science of dentistry. Once the cause of occlusal-related disorders is identified, this reversible, noninvasive therapy provides both diagnostic information and relief without the problems that often accompany other approaches to care, ie, surgery and extended drug therapy. The goal of this article is to familiarize “physicians of the masticatory system” 1 with the basic principles of occlusal splint therapy for treating temporomandibular disorder (TMD), bruxism, and some forms of headache. WHAT IS OCCLUSAL SPLINT THERAPY? Figure 1. A stabilization appliance allows freedom of movement for the teeth and the condyle, but is guided by the anterior teeth. Occlusal splint therapy may be defined as “the art and science of establishing neuromuscular harmony in the masticatory system by creating a mechanical disadvantage for parafunctional forces with removable appliances.” 2 A properly constructed splint facilitates a mutually protected occlusion 3 (Figure 1)."

"text": "\"Best Antibiotics for Infections Caused By Gram Negative Bacteriawritten by: Vasanth•edited by: dianahardin•updated: 4/13/2011Gram negative bacteria are characterized by a protective outer membrane which gives them resistance to some antibiotics. There are several antibiotics used for treating gram negative bacteria, including levofloxacin and chloramphenicol. What is Gram Negative Bacteria? A gram negative bacteria is a bacteria which does not retain the violet stain during the gram staining procedure. It is different from a gram positive bacteria, which does retain the violet stain. Another difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria is that gram negative bacteria feature a protective outer membrane. Most of the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract are gram negative. Some examples of gram negative bacteria include E-coli and Salmonella. Several diseases are caused by gram negative bacteria, including venereal diseases and bacterial meningitis. Cholera and the bubonic plague are also caused by gram negative bacteria."

"text": "4.25 169 ratings Devastating and Surprising Side Effects of Ciprofloxacin – Cipro Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and levofloxacin (Levaquin) can cause unexpected side effects: tendon rupture, nerve damage and hallucinations. Joe Graedon July 23, 2015 Default 202 Comments Over 20 million people take a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones annually for everything from sinusitis and urinary tract infections to bronchitis and skin infections. Two of the most famous drugs in this category of medicines are ciprofloxacin ( Cipro) and levofloxacin ( Levaquin ). When people get a prescription for an antibiotic they often anticipate digestive tract upset–nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea. What they do not expect are hallucinations, tendon rupture, nerve damage or brain fog. And they certainly do not expect such side effects to be permanent. The FDA Can Be Super Slow It took the FDA a very long time to warn prescribers and patients about the surprising side effects of ciprofloxacin and similar antibiotics. Two years ago the agency admitted that nerve damage–peripheral neuropathy (pain, burning, tingling, numbness and weakness)–can occur after taking only a few pills and can last for months or years. In some cases the damage may be permanent. Over the last 20 years we have heard from an extraordinary number of people that drugs like ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin can cause chaos."

A: Quick Answer Although urologists and nephrologists both diagnose and treat conditions relating to the kidneys, urologists primarily address conditions involving the structure of the kidneys and urinary tract, whereas nephrologists focus more on conditions that affect the functioning of the kidneys. Nephrologists complete a residency in internal medicine and then subspecialize in nephrology, whereas urology is a medical specialty in itself. Additionally, urologists can perform surgical procedures, while nephrologists are limited to nonsurgical medical treatments. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does a Urologist Specialize In?

"text": "Precautions Drug information provided by: Micromedex It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are using this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects. If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, check with your doctor. Levofloxacin may rarely cause inflammation (tendinitis) or tearing of a tendon (the cord that attaches muscles to the bones). This can occur while you are taking the medicine or after you finish using it. The risk of having tendon problems may be increased if you are over 60 years of age, are using steroid medicines (eg, dexamethasone, prednisolone, prednisone, or Medrol®), have severe kidney problems, have a history of tendon problems (eg, rheumatoid arthritis), or have received an organ (eg, heart, kidney, or lung) transplant. Check with your doctor right away if you get sudden pain or swelling in a tendon after exercise (eg, in the ankle, back of the knee or leg, shoulder, elbow, or wrist), bruise more easily after an injury, or are unable to bear weight or move the affected area. Refrain from exercise until your doctor says otherwise. This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention."

Milk production and intake increases four-fold after they emerge from the den. A cross North America this spring, thousands of baby animals are enjoying their first meals. For mammals, that’s mother’s milk. Bear cubs are getting some of the richest milk of all, and given bears’ unusual gestation, they’ve been nursing since almost before they were born. When it comes to pregnancy, giving birth and nursing, bears are remarkable. Wildlife biologist Sean Farley has raised bear cubs and studied their needs – and their mothers’ ability to satisfy those needs. He’s actually milked bears, measured milk production and milk intake by nursing bears, and identified how the nutritional compostion of milk changes during the cub’s first year. Bear cubs are born in winter and the mother bear nurses them as they are hibernating. “That she can lactate while not eating or drinking is pretty phenomenal – nobody else does that,” Farley said. “"

Generally black in color, they can also be brown, cinnamon or blond. Fast and agile, they are good swimmers and climbers who prefer forests, trails and streams. At home throughout Oregon, black bears are omnivorous and have a diverse diet including berries, fruit, grasses and plants. Although they will consume small mammals, insects and amphibians, these bears are not usually active predators. Bears should never be allowed access to human food or garbage; it habituates them to people and increases the chance of conflict. Once habituated to finding food near homes or campgrounds, bears can become a threat to human safety and must often be destroyed.

"text": "Bear Reproduction Bear Procreation There is plenty to learn in the area of bear reproduction. The age of maturity can range from 2 to 9 years of age depending on the type of bear. Females are ready to mate at a younger age. This is due to the fact that the males have to compete with each other in order to earn the right to mate. The strongest males are going to be the ones that win and they are usually older too. As the males are moving into the female territory they may encounter each other. Standing up tall is their way of telling the other bear they plan to mate in a given location. Most of the time the smaller bear will turn and go leaving the larger one to go find the female. There are times though when fighting does take place very aggressively in order to get the right to mate. For most species of bears, reproduction is natural and occurs annually at a given period in time."

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

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

Originally, panda territory included South and East China and parts of Myanmar and Northern Vietnam. Fossil evidence shows that pandas lived almost as far north as Beijing. Today, pandas are found in six isolated forest areas in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi provinces in China. Pandas live in high mountainous areas, usually from 2,700 to 3,700 meters (8,500 to 11,500 feet) above sea level, that have natural forested areas with fir, spruce, and bamboo. Today, only 29 small, fragmented areas have the appropriate habitat to support the world's existing panda populations. History For years, scientists have argued about whether the panda is more closely related to the bear or the raccoon. Bears, raccoons, and dogs all descended from the same common ancestor that lived over 24 million years ago. The panda has some characteristics common to bears, but other characteristics are not like bears."

They live on ice and snow, but that’s not a problem—these bears have some cool ways to stay warm!An outer coat of long guard hairs that stick together when wet protects a dense, thick undercoat of fur. On land, water rolls right off of the guard hairs. Even though polar bears look white, their hair is really made of clear, hollow tubes filled with air. Scarring or residue on the fur can cause the “white” fur to appear to human eyes as cream colored, yellow, or even pink in the Arctic light. Fat acts as a nutritional reserve and energy storage when food can’t be found,and may provide the ability to generate heat to help insulate polar bears from the freezing air and cold water. This fat may also help the bears float in the water. It is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) thick. Unlike brown bears and black bears, polar bears do not hibernate,and only pregnant females over-winter in dens. While in the den, the pregnant female’s activity level decreases and her metabolism slows down."

It's actually not true that all pandas outside of China are on loan. The only exception is in Mexico. Mexico owns two living giant pandas - Shuan Shuan and Xin Xin in Chapultepec Zoo. China and Mexico also agreed that any offspring of them will belong to China but will stay in Mexico forever (and for free). That's the only exception. This exception happens because China gave 23 pandas to different countries before 1982. Only the couple in Mexico managed to breed offspring. Another interesting fact is Xin Xin's father, Chia Chia is the panda on the logo of WWF.

"text": "\"Baby Polar Bear Cubs Baby polar bears are born in the shelter of the mother's den. After feeding all summer long to build up reserves her instincts tell her to build a her nest in the fall. Dens are normally dug by the mother's front and hind paws in snowdrifts or snow covered hills near the coast or in snow ridges. Despite the fact that they are built in the snow, the dens provide the cubs protection from the wind, cold, and predators. Most common predators are Arctic foxes and other polar bears, especially adult males. The den is warmer than the outside due to the heat generated by the bears. The snow traps air molecules and acts as insulation. Polar bear cubs spend the majority of their early childhood days in the safety of the den to stay warm and to bond with their mother. The cubs typically nurse for 12 to 18 weeks. However longer periods have been recorded depending on the number of siblings, season length, and factors in the environment that effect food sources."

"text": "\"Grizzly Bear Information Grizzly bears are members of the brown bear family. The term \"\"grizzly\"\" refers to the appearance of the hair on the back of mature bears, which is light brown with white tips, giving it a \"\"grizzled,\"\" or gray, appearance. Grizzly bears are typically larger than black bears. Females, also called “sows,” can weigh between 300 to 440 pounds, while males, also known as “boars,” can weigh from 400 to 800 pounds. Grizzly bears can be 5 to 8 feet long (nose to tail) and stand 3 to 4 feet tall at the shoulder. They are capable of running at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and are also able to swim and climb... Grizzly bears have a distinct hump on their shoulders, which is a mass of muscle that provides them with tremendous strength for digging, moving rocks and trees, and mauling their prey. They also have long claws that measure as much as five inches long. Grizzly bears are considered the dominant predator throughout their natural range, and depending on the availability of prey, they may require a home range of up to 500 square miles in order to support themselves. Grizzlies typically live a solitary life (except for mothers and cubs), though they may congregate in areas with abundant supplies of food. They are usually only social during times of breeding."

Captive pandas may live to be 25-30 years old. [ 5]The eyespots of a giant panda cub are initially in the shape of a circle. As the cub grows, the circles become shaped like a teardrop. [ 2]The giant panda has been on the endangered species list since 1990. The most significant threats to pandas are habitat loss and poaching. China is only approximately 5% greater than the U. S. in area but has four times the population. [ 7]Pandas have been a symbol of peace in China. For example, hundreds of years ago, warring tribes in China would raise a flag with a picture of a panda on it to stop a battle or call a truce. [ 6]The Chinese once hunted giant pandas because they believed that its pelt provided magical protection against evil spirits Giant pandas are on the brink of extinction, with just over 1,000 pandas left in the world."

"text": "Pets & Animals Mammals Pandas Q: How Much Does a Newborn Panda Weigh? A: Quick Answer Newborn panda cubs typically weigh only 1/900th of its mother's weight, which is about .2 pounds, making the panda cub the smallest placental mammal baby on earth in proportion to the animal's adult size. When they are born, panda cubs are pink and almost entirely hairless, and their eyes are not yet open, meaning that they look quite different from the iconic black and white, furry animal they turn into as they age. After about a week, these tiny babies begin to develop black patches on their skin, and they begin growing black hairs at two weeks old.

NPS / Jim Peaco Population The estimated Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear population increased from 136 in 1975 to an estimated 757 in 2014, and then declined to 690 bears in 2016. The bears have gradually expanded their occupied habitat by more than 50%. As monitored by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, the criteria used to determine whether the population within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has recovered include estimated population size, distribution of females with cubs, and mortality rates. An estimated 150 grizzly bears occupy ranges that lie partly or entirely within Yellowstone. The number of females producing cubs in the park has remained relatively stable since 1996, suggesting that the park may be at or near ecological carrying capacity for grizzly bears. There were 58 known and probable grizzly bear mortalities in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 2016. Thirty-eight were attributed to human causes. Four were of undetermined cause, 4 were natural deaths, and 14 were still under investigation at the time of this printing."

One of the most famous and easily identifiable animals in the world, the Giant Panda is also one of the rarest and is under immense threat in its natural environment, primarily from habitat loss. The Giant Panda is unique among bears as they do not hibernate, have very small babies at birth and survive on a diet that is almost entirely vegetarian. Since the Giant Panda was first discovered by a French naturalist in 1869, it has become a global symbol for conservation with the World Wildlife Fund using it as their logo. The Chinese people also see the Giant Panda as a symbol of peace and numerous efforts have been made to try and protect the remaining populations in their native habitats. Giant Panda Bear Anatomy and Appearance The Giant Panda is a medium to large sized bear that like other species has a large head, short tail and a long muzzle with a large nose, which gives them an excellent sense of smell. The thick fur of the Giant Panda is creamy-white in colour with large patches of black on the limbs, shoulders, ears and nose, and distinctive black patches around their small eyes. The Giant Panda eats almost only bamboo and so has a number of physical adaptations to help with its consumption including an extension of their wrist bone which acts a bit like a thumb, allowing the Giant Panda to grip onto bamboo stems. They also have large jaws with strong jaw muscles that along with their flat molars, allow the Giant Panda to crush bamboo stems and leaves in order to extract the nutrients. Giant Panda Bear Distribution and Habitat Historically, the Giant Panda would have been found throughout the lowlands of the Yangtze River Basin but increased Human activity in these areas has pushed the Giant Pandas high up into the mountains."

"text": "\"Do Black Bears Hibernate? Black bears are not true hibernators. Instead, they experience what is often called denning, ursid hibernation or carnivore lethargy. This period of reduced activity occurs in all black bear populations. Winter lethargy is brought on by many factors, including reproductive status, food availability, amount of daylight, and temperature change. However, it is notable that bears in southern states den for shorter periods and sleep less deeply than bears in colder climates. While denned bears in northern states are very lethargic and less responsive to people, bears in the South readily run away when people come close to their den. In addition, male bears in southern states like Florida may have a reduced denning period or none at all. What Makes a Den? In Florida, males and females that are not pregnant may den in dense vegetation for only a few weeks or a month."

A mini tripod is sometimes used, but a lot of the time this wont be possible, so the camera make shake. Also seating placement isn’t always idle, and it might be filmed from an angle. If cropped properly, this is hard to tell unless there’s text on the screen, but a lot of times these are left with triangular borders on the top and bottom of the screen. Sound is taken from the on board microphone of the camera, and especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we’re lucky, and the theater will be fairly empty and a fairly clear signal will be heard. TELESYNC (TS) A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere."

"text": "\"Super Street Onlinehow to Everything You Need to Know About the Toyota 2JZ-GTE Engine A close-up look at Toyota's archetype turbo engine Aaron Bonk– Jun 29, 2015 SHAREIn '86 the Supra dropped its first name, and with the introduction of the fourth-generation model in late-'92, now shared about as many ties with the company's entry-level sport compact as it did with the brand's corny little Paseo. All of that was mostly because of the MKIV Supra's factory turbocharged 2JZ-GTE powerplant—an inline-six-cylinder engine so ready to make sobering sorts of horsepower that, even 23 years later, pro motorsports teams of all sorts still seek out the early '90s 3.0L just as they did decades prior. And for good reason. Few production engines before or since are capable of the sort of outlandish horsepower the 2JZ-GTE's good for with so few modifications. Photo 2/20 | The 2JZ-GTE is based upon a 3.0L, inline-six, cast-iron short-block with an aluminum head. From the factory, North American versions put down 320hp but leave a whole lot of wiggle room for much more. WHERE TO FIND ONEHere in the US, the 2JZ-GTE, which was a clean-sheet design, wholly independent of the preceding Supra's 7M-GTE, was available only in '93-'98 Supra Turbo models. In Japan the 2JZ-GTE was introduced in '91 underneath the Toyota Aristo's hood and survived within select Japanese Supras until it was curtains for the car altogether in '02. The 2JZ-GTE's naturally aspirated and easier-to-find older sibling, the 2JZ-GE, is based upon the same short-block and nearly identical but higher-compression rotating assembly, but as far as Toyota's concerned, is only good for about 230 hp. You don't care about these."

"text": "Photography The best action camera you can buy By Les Shu — Posted on February 4, 2017 - 1:00PMDaven Mathies/Digital Trends Not long ago, action cameras were the hottest gear. Small enough to fit into any pocket and easy to use, these little point-of-vew camcorders also could capture high-definition video. The ability to mount the camcorders on a variety of surfaces or accessories only bolstered their original appeal, along with their rugged build components. Led by Go Pro — the company that essentially created the action cam industry — its Hero cameras were in-demand by everyone, from teens to professional filmmakers. Now, fast-forward to the present. While Go Pro is still the undisputed champ, there are a lot more players — from no-name budget manufacturers that want a slice of the pie, to major camera makers like Sony, which sells cameras that rival Go Pro in terms of image quality. In fact, action cams are now so ubiquitous that even Go Pro is starting to see its sales decline. Go Pro still makes one of the better action cams, though it’s now joined by a few capable friends. Each is fun to use and adept at shooting quality movies you can share on You Tube, whether you want to capture wide-angle shots of your local half-pipe, the big waves down the road, or aerial footage from your drone or dog’s point of view. Below are a few of our current favorites."

The Or Cam is a wearable device that detects what you are looking at, recognizes the presence of text, and speaks the text aloud. The Or Cam can also identify various products, US currency, credit cards, and even faces. While many individuals with visual impairments use smartphones and other mobile devices to accomplish most of these tasks, there is a growing population of people who are newly blind for whom such a device might enable a significant step toward personal independence. People who are newly blind and who do not have substantial technology experience and training may find this device of particular benefit. At the time of the previous Access World mention, Or Cam was not yet available for purchase. It is now available with training via a network of dealers.

"text": "The best action camera 2018: top 12 cameras rated Whether you're canoeing, mountain biking, skiing or snowboarding, these action cams go anywhere and capture it in extreme detail Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter By Spencer Hart, Amy Davies 27 days ago There are an awful lot of action cameras out there, so it can be tricky to find the one that's right for you. We're tested plenty of action cams here at T3, and we think the best action camera right now is the Go Pro Hero6 Black. The latest Hero6 Black is awesome, not least because it's waterproof to 10-metres without the casing. It's also impressively durable, which means it will survive in even the harshest of conditions. There's GPS, a 2-inch touchscreen, and the even voice control, for even easier operation. The latest Go Pro might not be the best action cam for you, however, so we’ve also collected 11 other excellent Hero6 alternatives. These are the best Go Pro accessories Check out T3's favourite cameras These are the best cheap action cameras How to choose the best action camera for you There's a lot of choice when it comes to buying an action camera in 2018, with big brands like Go Pro and Sony, as well as lesser known companies such as Veho and Olfi vying for top position in the market. Our selection of cams ranges from affordable-ish, to quite expensive, and it's worth remembering (as with most things) you get what you pay for. Image quality is one of the most important factors when choosing an action camera, and the Go Pro, Veho and Sony really excel in this area. It's always worth checking out frame rates rather than max resolution, because while a lot of cameras shoot in 4K resolution, some cheaper models use a frame rate of 15 fps, which makes the video look jumpy."

"text": "“Alternative medicine,” so-called “complementary and alternative medicine” ( CAM ), or, as it’s become fashionable to call it, “integrative medicine” is a set of medical practices that are far more based on belief than science. As Mark Crislip so pointedly reminded us last week, CAM is far more akin to religion than science-based medicine ( SBM ). However, as I’ve discussed more times than I can remember over the years, both here and at my not-so-super-secret-other blog, CAM practitioners and advocates, despite practicing what is in reality mostly pseudoscience-based medicine, crave the imprimatur that science can provide, the respect that science has. That is why, no matter how scientifically implausible the treatment, CAM practitioners try to tart it up with science. I say “tart it up” because they aren’t really providing a scientific basis for their favored quackery. In reality, what they are doing is choosing science-y words and using them as explanations without actually demonstrating that these words have anything to do with how their favored CAM works. A more important fundamental difference between CAM and real medicine is that CAM practices are not rejected based on evidence. Basically, they never go away. Take homeopathy, for example. ( Please!)"

"text": "\"intelligent-VTEC - The Next Generation The last evolution of Honda's VTEC system was back in 1995 where they introduced the now-famous 3-stage VTEC system. The 3-stage VTEC was then designed for an optimum balance of super fuel economy and high power with driveability. For the next 5 years, Honda still used the regular DOHC VTEC system for their top power models, from the B16B right up to the F20C in the S2000. Now Honda have announced the next evolution of their legendary VTEC system, the i-VTEC. The i stands for i ntelligent : i-VTEC is intelligent-VTEC. Honda introduced many new innovations in i-VTEC, but the most significant one is the addition of a variable valve opening overlap mechanism to the VTEC system. Named VTC for Variable Timing Control, the current (initial) implementation is on the intake camshaft and allows the valve opening overlap between the intake and exhaust valves to be continously varied during engine operation. This allows for a further refinement to the power delivery characteristics of VTEC, permitting fine-tuning of the mid-band power delivery of the engine. Variable Timing Control Operating Principle Honda's VTC operating principle is basically that of the generic variable valve timing implementation (this generic implementation is also used by by Toyota in their VVT-i and BMW in their VANOS/double-VANOS system). The generic variable valve timing implementation makes use of a mechanism attached between the cam sprocket and the camshaft."

Here is a brief/explanation of some of these names: Kayla, which ranks 49th on the list of names, has several possible origins. As a Jewish girls name, it is the Yiddish variation of the Hebrew Kelila, meaning a “crown of laurels.” It is also a feminine form of the masculine kalil (which means “complete,” and might be the source of Superman’s real name). It is interesting to note that Kayla is the name of one of the languages of the Beta Israel (Jews from Ethiopia). Gabriela/Gabrielle and Makayla are both legitimate Hebrew names rooted in tradition. However, these names do not exist in the feminine form. Gabriela and Gabrielle are both derivatives of Gabriel, which means “God is my strength.”"

American Baby Names Good old American pie and baseball are just some of the hallmarks of American culture. Capture a bit of the essence of the pure American spirit in your baby's name. There is so much more to Jack and Sue than meets the eye. American pop culture influences baby name choices not only in the States, but in Europe, Asia and other remote regions. A writer's decision for a character name on a TV show can have lasting effects on a whole generation. Take the soap opera Days of Our Lives for example.

"text": "Days of Our Lives (DOOL) Spoilers: Joey Meets Fascinating Girl Named Jade – New Love Interest Distracts From Family Woes BY Heather Hughes on February 17, 2016 | Comments: Related : Days of Our Lives, Soap Opera, Spoiler, Television“Days of Our Lives” spoilers tease that Joey (James Lastovic) could find love once again. Joey recently fell hard for Ava (Tamara Braun), but that wasn’t going to work out for obvious reasons. Ava broke Joey’s heart, but there’s still hope for this naïve teen. Joey will soon meet a fascinating girl named Jade (Paige Searcy). DOOL’s casting call for Jade hinted that she’s a free spirit as well as flirty and outgoing. We also know that Jade has had her eye on Joey for a while now. He was probably just too busy pining for Ava to notice. Now that Ava has shown her true colors, Joey may realize that he’d be better off with a fun gal from Salem High. According to Jason47’s “Days” website, this is a recurring part and it will mark Paige Searcy’s first major acting role. It should be interesting to see what Searcy will bring to the show."

Little Jessie has been drinking coffee in his bottle since he was a baby. He is 12 now and he still drinks coffee. He says it helps him sleep. Brenda Ann Kenneally Brenda Ann Kenneally takes photographs, but to call her a photographer isn’t quite accurate. She prefers the term “digital folk artist,” and when you hear how she interacts with her subjects—families living below the poverty line in Troy, New York—and tells their stories, it seems an apt description. Kenneally doesn’t simply create media, she curates it: She collects family photo albums, school and medical records, letters from prison, scrapbooks, and even screenshots from Facebook. Since she began her project, “ Upstate Girls ,” more than 10 years ago, she’s amassed thousands of photos, several terabytes of video, and scores of other documents. “ If you're doing documentary, you need to be the foremost authority on whatever you're doing.

Image: Gavin St. Ours By Caroline Godwin With all the hype about Despicable Me 2, I decided to explore the Minion language and find out how French director Pierre Coffin went about creating the Minion lingo. In Despicable Me 1 and 2, Coffin does the voices for most of the Minions, both in English and in many other languages where he did the dubbing. When creating the language, he purposely went with a gibberish approach for comedy purpose. But in the Despicable Me 2 production notes, fellow director Chris Renaud says, “What’s great about the Minion language, while it is gibberish, it sounds real because Pierre puts in words from many languages. ”The gibberish has meaning The minion language – known as Minionese – is understandable because so many languages are used. I particularly like the well known songs that are parodied: Boyz 2 Men’s I Swear becomes Underwear in Minionese, Copa Cabana ends up being Bella Banana and The Beach Boys’ Barbara Ann becomes Ba-Ba-Ba, Ba-Ba-Na-Na – to name but a few.

"text": "One topic that keeps recurring and obligating me to write about it consists of critically analyzing stories of children with cancer whose parents, either on their own or at the behest of their child, stop or refuse chemotherapy or other treatment. It is, sadly, a topic that I’ve been discussing for nearly a decade now, starting first on my not-so-super-secret other blog and continuing both there and here. Indeed, the first post I wrote about this problem was in November 2005, a fact that depressed me when I went back through the archives to find it because so little has changed since that time. I was painfully reminded of this last week when stories started circulating in the media about the death of Makayla Sault, an Ojibwe girl and member of the New Credit First Nation in Ontario: The entire community of New Credit is in mourning today, following the news of the passing of 11 year old Makayla Sault. The child suffered a stroke on Sunday morning and was unable to recover. Friends and family from across the province travelled to New Credit First Nation today to offer condolences, share tears and pay their respects. Makayla, as you might recall, was an 11 year old aboriginal girl from Canada with lymphoblastic leukemia. She was one of two 11-year-old aboriginal girls last year who refused chemotherapy and have medical stories that are eerily similar. The other girl’s name is unknown (at least to me and most of the public), because of privacy concerns in her legal case, but she is referred to in court documents as “JJ” and is a Haudenosaunee girl from Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, also in Ontario. I discussed her case extensively back in November and will be discussing her more here."

Although there was a big success on the American side, it wasn't all glory. There were a lot of hardships being a common american soldier during the revolutionary war. There was a shortage in a lot of everyday necessities. These necessities included things like money, weapons, food, clothing, and shelter. There was not much sanitation and disease was easy to catch and easily spread. Even though these American soldiers were not living in the best conditions, they never gave up hope and never complained. All of the hardships these soldiers had to face everyday never let it get in the way of them winning the war. They knew how to make a good situation from a bad one."

"text": "\"Contribute Add to List Given Name MICHAELGENDER: Masculine USAGE: English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Czech, Biblical, Biblical Latin, Biblical Greek OTHER SCRIPTS: מִיכָאֵל (Ancient Hebrew), Μιχαηλ (Ancient Greek)PRONOUNCED: MIE-kəl (English), MI-kha-el (German), MEE-kah-el (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) [details]Meaning & History From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning \"\"who is like God?\"\". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Michael is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament he is named as a protector of Israel. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies in the war against Satan, and is thus considered the patron saint of soldiers in Christianity. The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century. It has been borne (in various spellings) by rulers of Russia (spelled Михаил ), Romania ( Mihai ), Poland ( Michał ), and Portugal ( Miguel ). Other bearers of this name include the British chemist/physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867), musician Michael Jackson (1958-2009), and basketball player Michael Jordan (1963-).

Each year, hundreds of kids under 12 are shot and killed, either by accident or on purpose. NBC News looked at cases in which children under 12 have been killed by guns since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and counted 554 deaths. The victims are black and white, Asian and Latino. They live in cities, suburbs and rural areas. They die in hunting mishaps, get caught in street crossfire, are targeted by murderers and intentionally or unintentionally shoot themselves. The circumstances and blame vary. The only thing that ties them together is the cause of death: gunshot wound.

Characteristics of Makayla Independent Individualistic Ambitious Strong-willed Inventive Successful Etymology & Historical Origin - Makayla Makayla is a modern spelling variation of the name Michaela which is the feminized version of the male name Michael. Michael comes from the Hebrew word “mikha'el” which actually translates into a question: “Who is like God?” It seems odd to have a first name that basically asks a question, one would think. However, the question is thought to be rhetorical. The implied answer is clear: no one is like God. Therefore, the translation of the name Michael is often one of humility. Michael was one of the archangels who stood close to God and carried out His judgments, and as a protector of the ancient Hebrews. Michael was the chief leader of the angels who fought and defeated the dragon (i.e., the devil), hurling him from heaven. As such, he became of symbol of the Church Militant and a patron saint of soldiers."

"text": "\"Top 10 Things NOT to Do When You Divorceby Jessica Zimmer As anyone who's gone through a divorce can tell you, the process is rarely easy. Tensions run high, and couples often make poor decisions in the heat of the moment. Given the mountain of financial, practical and emotional details that have to be sorted, it's not surprising so many couples wind up making critical mistakes on the road to divorce. That said there are a number of key things you should do, or more specifically not do, to lessen the chance you'll regret your decisions later on. Here are the top 10 tips on what to avoid when filing for divorce.1. Don't Get Pregnant Having a baby during your divorce complicates a lot of things, and could even hinder your right to divorce. In November 2004, a Spokane County, Washington judge refused to allow Shawnna Hughes, a pregnant woman, to divorce her abusive husband. Hughes' husband is not the father of her child. But because Hughes became pregnant during the divorce proceedings, state law presumes Hughes' husband to be the father of her child born up to 300 days after her divorce. The judge refused to grant Hughes a divorce because he was concerned there would be no father to take financial responsibility for the child."

Performix SST’s primary claim to fame it its “intelligent-release” TERRA beadlets, which are claimed to release key thermogenic ingredients in four distinct p H-activated stages: The Introduction Phase (first 2 hours) is when thermogenesis begins, which raises metabolic rate and burns more fat. Next, the Chill Phase (2-4 hours) is when you may experience “chills” due to your body’s increase in temperature, which ultimately helps break down fats. Then, the Sustain & Block Phase (4-6 hours) will begin, which is when the supplement’s B12 is released, which can improve mental focus and energy production. Finally, the Transition Phase (6-8 hours) occurs, which is when the \"\"fat to energy\"\" exchange in your mitochondria is boosted, helping you to burn more fat."

While Deva (H) is god the word Arka H has at least three meanings.<1> Essence/Extract <2> Sun and <3> the Ak (plant in Hindi) one which ha medicinal (used to control inflammation) and religious use (in the worship of Ganesh, Lord Ganesh is supposed to be adorned with a garland of this flowers' buds; Ganesh idol made of the root of this shrub is supposed bring in riches if kept in puja and worshipped. ) Thus the following compound-words are possible: <1> dev An Am arka H (Sha Sh Th I-tatpuru Sha S) = Essence/Extract of Gods, by implication \"\"Distilled Godhood\"\" <2> deve Shu-arka H (saptam I-tatpuru Sha S) = The Sun among the gods i.e. in the sense of the most radiant, important, and powerful. <3> deva H cha asau arka H (Karmadh Araya S) = The Sun-God. But this violates basic sam As formation rule 'upasarjana M-p Urvam' = The less important word among the two must be placed first. Some exceptions are noted for this rule. But these are finite n number and compiled. Last but not the least if your parents have consulted some knowledgeable person and named you with the meaning you have expressed in their mind then that is it!1.1k Views · View Upvoterspromoted by 23and Me Explore your DNA with 23and Me.

Since the hot springs within Canada's national parks are park-owned, they are a great deal, less than $10 for adult admission. This particular facility offered a day pass, which is even better--for a few dollars more you get a wristband that lets you come and go all day. You also get to bypass the line if you have a wrist band, which came in really handy later on in the afternoon. We decided to take advantage of this by going for a soak earlier in the day (around 9ish), leaving to go on a hike nearby, and then coming back for a much-needed post-hike dip."

Of these were battleships, the USS Arizona sunk by a cataclysmic explosion, her broken hulk with her collapsed foremast the iconic symbol of the attack. USS Oklahoma was capsized on Battleship Row. USS Nevada was grounded and sunk off Hospital Point after an abortive attempt to sortie during the attack. USS California and USS West Virginia lay upright on the bottom of Pearl Harbor, their superstructure, distinctive cage masts and gun turrets visible above the oily water. The former battleship USS Utah lay capsized on the far side of Ford Island while the light cruiser USS Raleigh was fighting for her life barely afloat near Utah. The ancient Minelayer USS Oglala was laying on her side next to the light cruiser USS Helena at the 1010 Dock. She was not hit by a bomb or torpedo but was said to have “died of fright” when Helena was hit by a torpedo, the blast which opened the seams of her hull. The destroyers USS Cassin and USS Downes were wrecks in the main dry dock."

Decompression sickness Synonyms Divers' disease, the bends, caisson disease Two United States Navy sailors prepare for training inside a decompression chamber. Specialty Emergency medicine Decompression sickness ( DCS; also known as divers' disease, the bends or caisson disease) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation. DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression (i.e., during ascent), but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson, flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude, and extravehicular activity from spacecraft. DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness. Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body, DCS can produce many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death. Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day, and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all. The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago. Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon. Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed."

From the start of diving school training, hyperbaric welders learn how safety will aid them.

After four films as 007 and his comment that “I'd rather slash my wrists” than play James Bond again, things didn’t look promising for Craig’s return. But after much speculation, the latest news is that producer Barbara Broccoli has convinced Dr No to play Bond for the fifth time and is courting Adele to sing the film’s theme tune. Omega Commander’s Watch: saluting Bond’s naval past Is serendipity at work again or was last week’s presentation of the Omega Commander’s Watch a stroke of marketing genius in anticipation of the latest news touting Craig’s return? Like his creator Ian Fleming, who served as a Naval Intelligence Officer during WWII, James Bond was a Commander in the Royal Navy - before becoming an MI6 agent - and wears his official uniform in a trio of films, played by three different Bond actors. The first Bond in naval regalia was Sean Connery in You Only Live Twice (1967), followed by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).

"text": "\"Oxygen physiology for divers has been one of the most misunderstood subjects in the sport for some time. Case in point: For years, the oxygen percentage in atmospheric air was commonly taught in scuba classes to be 20 percent when it actually is 20.98 percent, rightfully rounded to 21. What's the big deal about a lousy 1 percent you say? Well, for example, it throws off all the computations for maximum operating depths for nitrox mixes or even regular compressed air if you're going deep. More important, such slack observance of oxygen percentages contributes to a pattern of sloppy information and what President George W. aptly calls \"\"fuzzy math. \"\" As recreational divers we must be concerned with the effects of elevated partial pressures of oxygen that occur as we descend in the water column. Remember, it's the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) that is most critical, not the percentage of oxygen in the gas you breathe. Little Physics, Less Math Quick review of Dalton's Law from your initial certification class. The total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the different gases in the mix. Mathematically, this is expressed as P = P1+P2+P3, where \"\"P\"\" refers to total pressure, and \"\"P1\"\" is the partial pressure of, for example, nitrogen and \"\"P2\"\" is the partial pressure of oxygen, and so on."

This particular use of the acronym should not be confused with USO, the popular abbreviation of the United Services Organization.

"text": "Delay to Recompression By Petar Denoble The most effective treatment for decompression sickness (DCS) and arterial gas embolism (AGE) caused by gas bubbles that occur after decompression is the return of the patient to an environment of increased pressure. This is called recompression. Ideally a patient can be recompressed within minutes of symptom onset — bubbles would be quickly eliminated, and symptoms would resolve. This occurs sometimes in commercial and military diving. However, in recreational diving, even when a chamber is available locally, it generally takes hours rather than minutes to begin recompression treatment. If a hyperbaric chamber is not available locally, which is often the case, recompression may be delayed for days. For divers in remote locations, the question of the impact of the length of delay to recompression on their chances of a complete recovery is an important one. In asking this question, it is also important to explore steps that can be taken to mitigate risks. The available data do not provide straightforward answers, so we turn to experts for advice. What determines the degree of emergency in DCS?"

The Russian Navy did not realise that the sub had sunk and did not halt the exercise or initiate a search for it for more than six hours. Because the sub's emergency rescue buoy had been intentionally disabled, it took more than 16 hours for them to locate the sunken ship. Over four days, the Russian Navy used four different diving bells and submersibles to try to attach to the escape hatch without success. The navy's response was criticised as slow and inept. The government initially misled and manipulated the public and media about the timing of the accident, stating that communication had been established and that a rescue effort was under way, and refused help from other governments. On the fifth day, President Vladimir Putin authorised the navy to accept British and Norwegian offers of assistance. Seven days after the submarine went down, Norwegian divers finally opened a hatch to the escape trunk in the ship's ninth compartment, hoping to locate survivors, but found it flooded. An official investigation after most of the wreck was raised along with analysis of pieces of debris concluded that the crew of Kursk was preparing to load a dummy 65–76 \"\"Kit\"\" torpedo when a faulty weld in the casing of the practice torpedo caused high-test peroxide (HTP) to leak, which caused the kerosene fuel to explode."

"text": "\"United States Army soldiers calling cadence, during Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson (South Carolina) in 2008In the armed services, a military cadence or cadence call is a traditional call-and-response work song sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called jody calls or jodies, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in some traditional cadences. Requiring no instruments to play, they are counterparts in oral military folklore of the military march. As a sort of work song, military cadences take their rhythms from the work being done (compare sea shanty ). Many cadences have a call and response structure of which one soldier initiates a line, and the remaining soldiers complete it, thus instilling teamwork and camaraderie for completion. The cadence calls move to the beat and rhythm of the normal speed (quick time) march or running-in-formation (double time) march. This serves the purpose of keeping soldiers \"\"dressed\"\", moving in step as a unit and in formation, while maintaining the correct beat or cadence. The word \"\"cadence\"\" was applied to these work songs because of an earlier meaning, in which it meant the number of steps a marcher or runner took per minute. The cadence was set by a drummer or sergeant and discipline was extremely important, as keeping the cadence directly affected the travel speed of infantry. There were other purposes: the close-order drill was a particular cadence count for the complex sequence of loading and firing a musket."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Recreational scuba diver. Diver in a shipwreck in the Caribbean Sea. Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. [ 1] Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, [2] allowing them greater independence and freedom of movement than surface-supplied divers, and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold divers. [ 1] Open circuit scuba systems discharge the breathing gas into the environment as it is exhaled, and consist of one or more diving cylinders containing breathing gas at high pressure which is supplied to the diver through a regulator. They may include additional cylinders for range extension, decompression gas or emergency breathing gas. [ 3] Closed-circuit or semi-closed circuit rebreather scuba systems allow recycling of exhaled gases. The volume of gas used is reduced compared to that of open circuit, so a smaller cylinder or cylinders may be used for an equivalent dive duration. Rebreathers extend the time spent underwater compared to open circuit for the same gas consumption; they produce fewer bubbles and less noise than open circuit scuba which makes them attractive to covert military divers to avoid detection, scientific divers to avoid disturbing marine animals, and media divers to avoid bubble interference. [ 1]Scuba diving may be done recreationally or professionally in a number of applications, including scientific, military and public safety roles, but most commercial diving uses surface-supplied diving equipment when this is practicable."

Rebreather A fully closed circuit electronic rebreather ( Ambient Pressure Diving Inspiration)Acronym CCUBA (closed circuit underwater breathing apparatus); CCR (closed circuit rebreather), SCR (semi-closed rebreather)Uses Breathing set Related items Davis apparatus A rebreather is a breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a user's exhaled breath to permit the rebreathing (recycling) of the substantially unused oxygen content, and unused inert content when present, of each breath. Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user. This differs from an open-circuit breathing apparatus, where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment. Rebreather technology may be used where breathing gas supply is limited, such as underwater or in space, where the environment is toxic or hypoxic, as in firefighting, mine rescue and high-altitude operations, or where the breathing gas is specially enriched or contains expensive components, such as helium diluent or anaesthetic gases. Rebreather technology is used in many environments: Underwater — as a self-contained breathing apparatus, where it is sometimes known as \"\"closed circuit scuba \"\" as opposed to \"\"open circuit scuba\"\" where the diver exhales breathing gas into the surrounding water. [ 1]Surface-supplied diving equipment may incorporate rebreather technology either as a gas reclaim system, where the surface-supplied breathing gas is returned and scrubbed at the surface, or as a self-contained diver bailout system. Mine rescue and other industrial applications – where poisonous gases may be present or oxygen may be absent. Crewed spacecraft and space suits – outer space is, effectively, a vacuum without oxygen to support life. Hospital anaesthesia breathing systems – to supply controlled concentrations of anaesthetic gases to patients without contaminating the air that the staff breathe."

Carbon dioxide is a gaseous product of the body's metabolism and is normally expelled through the lungs. Hypercapnia normally triggers a reflex which increases breathing and access to oxygen (O 2 ), such as arousal and turning the head during sleep. A failure of this reflex can be fatal, for example as a contributory factor in sudden infant death syndrome. [ 1]Hypercapnia is the opposite of hypocapnia, the state of having abnormally reduced levels of carbon dioxide in the blood.

The second number (diastolic) measures pressure between heartbeats, as blood flows throughout the body. Healthy Women Administration Blood pressure is typically expressed as two numbers, one over the other, and is measured in millimeters of mercury (noted as mm Hg). The first number is the systolic blood pressure, the pressure used when the heart beats. The second number, diastolic blood pressure, is the pressure that exists in the arteries between heartbeats. Depending on your activities, your blood pressure may increase or decrease throughout the day. If you are not acutely ill, are over 18 years of age and are not taking antihypertensive drugs, a blood pressure reading of 119 mm Hg or below systolic and/or 79 mm Hg or below diastolic (119/79) is considered normal. If your systolic blood pressure is 120 to 139 mm Hg systolic and/or your diastolic pressure is 80 to 89 mm Hg, you have prehypertension. This means that you don't have high blood pressure now but are more likely to develop it in the future, and you have increased risk factors for cardiovascular disease and other conditions related to hypertension. A blood pressure level of 140/90 mm Hg or higher is considered high."

"text": "Hafeza Shaikh, DO on behalf of Lourdes Health System Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease)A top systolic blood pressure number in the range of 140 to 150 is the first stage of high blood pressure that doctors need to be aware of. One's blood pressure numbers change over time, but typically, the top number -- the systolic blood pressure -- should be anywhere between 120 and 139. One exception in that situation has to do with age. If you're above the age of 65, that top number can be in the 140s, meaning under 150, and still be considered within normal limits. For the bottom number, anything above 90 when you're over the age of 65 would be considered hypertensive; but otherwise, between 85 and 90 is considered the first stage of hypertension, so ideally, you want that bottom number under 85.

NOTE: This information isn't a substitute for medical advice provided by your doctor. If you think you might have hypertension, elevated blood pressure, or hypotension, be sure to discuss your blood pressure concerns with a doctor or nurse, who can help you factor in other important information, such as other medical problems you may have. In particular, the information below and in the related links may not always apply to those who are very old, very frail, or have multiple chronic medical conditions. View the full blood pressure chart. Definitions of blood pressure terms Systolic (the upper number in the reading) is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats; it measures how hard the heart muscle is working to pump blood throughout the body. Diastolic (the lower number in the reading) is the pressure of the blood against the blood vessel walls between heartbeats when the heart is relaxed. What a blood pressure reading of 90/60 means Readings below 90/60 usually indicate low blood pressure, or what's called HYPOTENSION, meaning the pressure in your arteries is at the lower end of what's considered normal. Some people with blood pressure this low may be prone to weakness or fainting, but many people feel just fine. If you're taking blood pressure medicines, they're probably lowering your blood pressure more than they need to, and they should be adjusted."

They said that the bottom number was bigger than normal but it wasn't much cause for concern. What does the bottom number mean and what could happen if it's too big?5 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Depends on how old you are. Generally for a healthy young person (under, say, 40 or with family history of heart problem or high blood pressure), the bottom number should be under 80. For anyone over 40, they say the bottom number should be under 90. The top number is right on... should be under 140, in most cases. But a one-time BP of that isn't worrisome, only if that was your normal. Do you have access to a BP machine in a pharmacy or something near you? Test it again in awhile, and if its that high again, keep track of the time of day and take it a few times over a week or two, then take that information back to your Dr. Good luck!Source (s): RNsjrbride · 9 years ago0 1 Comment Asker's rating Bottom Blood Pressure Number Source (s):https://shrink.im/a0a Sgleadford · 2 years ago0 0 Comment1Source (s): Hypertension Treatment http://sparkindl.info/Control Your Blood Pr...

"text": "What is an ankle brachial index test? The ankle brachial index, or ABI, is a simple test that compares the blood pressure in the upper and lower limbs. Health care providers calculate ABI by dividing the blood pressure in an artery of the ankle by the blood pressure in an artery of the arm. The result is the ABI. If this ratio is less than 0.9, it may mean that a person has peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the blood vessels in his or her legs. In PAD, plaque builds up in the arteries. It often affects the vessels that bring blood to the legs. The reduced blood flow can cause pain and numbness. Low ABI may mean that your legs and feet aren’t getting as much blood as they need. An ABI test won’t show exactly which blood vessels have become narrowed or blocked, though."

D., CHAIRMAN,CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, HYPERTENSIONVIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTERMay 2, 2008Email Question: What is the difference between hypertension and high blood pressure, and what do blood pressure numbers mean? Answer: Well, hypertension and high blood pressure are two terms that are almost used interchangeably. What you have is a number above which you have a defined diagnosis -- at least that's how we tend to do this in medicine. And the numbers actually mean risk -- the higher the blood pressure, the greater the risk -- and the interesting thing is the risk begins to occur even at relatively normal blood pressure readings. So the higher you go, the worse off you're going to be, from a blood pressure point of view. Next: How Is Hypertension Associated With Heart Disease?nullnull Previous: Can My Cholesterol Be Too Low?

"text": "Overview A blood pressure test measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart pumps. 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."

Start Now at betterhelp.com5 Answers Robert Gluck, Lions and Tigers and Hands, oh my!Answered Sep 5, 2014 · Author has 1.7k answers and 4.1m answer views The higher number, called systolic, is the pressure when the heart is actively pumping a volume of blood out of the left side of the heart. The lower number, called diastolic, is the pressure when the heart is re-filling with blood during the so-called resting phase of the cardiac (heart) cycle. Over the years emphasis has variously been placed on one or the other but, in fact, they are both important, as is the difference between the two (pulse pressure) as well as the weighted average of the two (mean arterial pressure or MAP) Why does all this matter? Pressure in the arterial system is required to drive blood into all of the organs. Abnormally low blood pressure results in inadequate perfusion of organs (not enough oxygen), while abnormally high blood pressure can cause heart disease, kidney disease, vascular disease, eye problems and stroke. So, if the blood pressure is too high or low for a given individual either chronically or at a given point in time, problems can occur. But there's more. While abnormal blood pressure can cause problems in and of itself, equally significant is figuring out why the blood pressure is too high or low."

"text": "\"Diastolic blood pressure: How low is too low? May 17, 2015 By Matt Windsor Blood pressure consists of two numbers. Systolic pressure, the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart beats, is the upper number. Diastolic pressure, the force exerted when the heart is at rest, is on the bottom — in more ways than one. Systolic pressure attracts the lion’s share of attention from physicians and patients, says UAB cardiologist Jason Guichard, M. D., Ph. D.“Physicians are busy people, and like it or not they often focus on a single number,” Guichard said. “ Systolic blood pressure is the focus, and diastolic pressure is almost completely ignored.” That is a mistake, he argues. “ The majority of your arteries feed your organs during systole. But your coronary arteries are different; they are surrounding the aortic valve, so they get blood only when the aortic valve closes — and that happens in diastole."

"text": "A tire is a circular component of a road vehicle that helps in protecting the rim of the wheel and also helps in delivering better performance of the vehicle. When you go for a drive on your vehicle, it is very much essential to balance your car tire as an imbalance can cause fatal accidents. Along with the balance between the tires, it is also necessary to keep changing the tires of the vehicle so that the vehicle never fails in delivering good performance. So, the owners or the drivers have to know in detail about the best time to replace your car tire. When you have a careful look at the tire of your car, you will notice that there are certain numbers across the side wall of the tire. These numbers indicate important information regarding the tire such as the size of the tire, how much load can the tire bare and so on. In the blog below, there is a complete description about what the numbers on the car tire means. What Do The Number On The Car Tires Mean? What is the Meaning of Numbers on the Tire of a Car?

While some cars tell the truth about their lack of fuel, others will give you a few extra gallons. ( Creative Commons photo by t3mujin)Warning lights in cars work almost like the electrodes scientists use to test responses in lab rats: a current is run through them, and the subject reacts in some novel way to the stimulus. Leading the way for dashboard stimulation – as far as cautionary alerts go – would be the Check Engine light and the Low Fuel light. The check engine light might inspire the most profound responses because it could mean just about anything, from a faulty sensor to imminent vehicular implosion and a gargantuan repair bill. It's like the doctor telling you he has to run some tests before he knows what's wrong with you, but it could be either an ear infection or a brain tumor. It is perhaps the low fuel light, however, that is the most legendary and creates the widest range of responses and means the most to the most people. There is practically an industry built around the tiny stencil: it has its own website, it brings up more results on Yahoo and Google than other warning lights, there have been mantras created to defer its consequences, it has been called a liar and worse, its accuracy is tested more often and more vigorously than a law student's and Jackson Browne sang a song about it ( Running on Empty ). It has probably been responsible for more appeals to a higher power than any car-related activity save love by the dashboard light. That's quite a following for one tiny bulb."

"text": "\"The life of a tire depends on a number of different factors, some having to do with the quality of tire and some having to do with the quality of care. Typically, each manufacturer will list how long its tires last on the labels. Carefully pay attention to these labels as it may be that a few extra US Dollars per tire will get you an additional 15,000 or 20,000 miles (24,000 or 32,000 km). Typically, tires last anywhere between 25,000 and 50,000 miles (40,000 to 80,000 km). There are a number of variables that must be taken into account, however. These include road, weather, and driving conditions. Also, some simple maintenance may be able to increase how long tires last by as much as 50 percent, so a tired rated at 50,000 miles (80,000 km) may be able to go 75,000 miles (120,000 km). One of the easiest ways to make sure tires last as long as possible is by keeping them properly inflated. Not inflating tires properly puts stress on areas of the tire that are not meant to receive as much stress. Also, it causes the tire to become hotter than it normally would, as it has more contact with the road surface for longer periods of time."

I hope this proves useful to you or to someone in the future who is in a similar situation and is Googling for information on what to do and can benefit from my having to go through this in the dark here in August of 2012. Yesterday, my boyfriend Justin and I were headed out to the Chicago suburbs to meet up with my friend Megan Fox to work on our grassroots campaign (which is sweeping the nation, FYI) to install historic markers everywhere that Barack Obama kissed someone before he became President. I haven’t seen Megan in a while, since before I got sick this spring, and I was also very excited to have lunch at Chick-Fil-A because I’ve not only never tried their food but I always love doing whatever it is the Gaystapo goon squads in the gay community tell me and Justin not to do. It was going to be a fun day, but unfortunately none of this happened because less than five minutes after getting onto I-94 we were boxed into the middle of the five-lane highway and couldn’t avoid some sharp metal debris that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) allowed to remain on the road. There was no way for us to prevent the car from hitting it, but it was definitely something that IDOT should have removed as a safety hazard. It shredded two of Justin’s tires in seconds, and for a moment the car was shaking and bouncing like it was being lifted by an alien tractor beam, but through great skill Justin was able to maneuver the car over to the side of the road for us to inspect the damage and change at least one of the tires. Neither Justin nor I had ever done this before, but with the help of You Tube videos on how to do it we were able to get it done using Justin’s i Phone. A passerby must have seen what happened and notified IDOT because just as we finished changing the tire and were about to drive to a Firestone to get all of the damage repaired, a hulking lime-green IDOT roadside assistance vehicle pulled up behind us with its lights flashing. This being Illinois, where there’s always seemingly some scam to ticket you or otherwise try to extort money from you for everything imaginable, Justin and I were afraid that IDOT had ticketing powers and that this vehicle was there to punish us in some way for getting a flat tire."

"text": "\"By Andrew Del-Colle Dec 3, 2015 4.3k They are technically leased The leasing program started in 2006 when NASCAR wanted to impose limits on testing. At the time, teams with more money were getting an advantage over poorer teams by testing out extra tires on tracks before races. NASCAR asked Goodyear, the exclusive provider of tires for the Sprint Cup Series, if it could track the inventory better to implement some controls. So Goodyear start putting RFID, or radio frequency identification tags, in all of its Eagle racing tires. After each race, teams would then have to give the tires back to Goodyear—used or unused. This is now less of an issue since NASCAR has implemented testing guidelines, so teams no longer have to return their wheels to Goodyear, says Greg Stucker, Goodyear's director of racing. \"\" We still know which tires go to what team,\"\" he says. \"\" We know where they are, and if at any time we want a particular tire back, we can do that. \"\" Each team is allowed the same number of tires\"\"On average, and for most race tracks, every team is allowed fives sets of tires to get them through practice and qualifying,\"\" Stucker says. Depending on the race, NASCAR then sets a cap on how many additional sets of tires teams can have for each event."

Using tires on the small end of acceptable diameters (24\"\" front, 26\"\" rear) will only lower the car 1/2 inch compared to tires that are on the large end of acceptable diameters (25\"\" front and 27\"\" rear). I'll explain what I mean by \"\"acceptable diameter\"\" further below, but for now the point I'd like to make is that small diameter tires don't lower the car tremendously, the low ride height you're seeking is more a function of chassis set-up. Ride height involves two aspects, the overall height of the car and the relation between front height and rear height. The overall way in which a car sits on the ground is referred to as \"\"stance\"\" these days. As is very common, the Pantera was designed for a level chassis. Some guys like to give it a \"\"slight\"\" nose down stance for looks. quote: Originally posted by Clockwork: ...

"text": "Tire Insurance: Myths and Facts About Road Hazard Policies Road hazard policies and tire warranty plans pay in full or in part for the replacement or repair of damaged tires and/or rims from “road hazards.” Road hazards are defined as pot holes, debris, nails, wood, and other hazards found in the road. Curbs, sidewalks, and stone walls are not road hazards. This is an important distinction to consider when deciding if tire insurance is right for you (more on this ahead). Tire plans last for a specific period of time and tire wear tread-depth. Some plans last 2-3 years. Others can last 5 years or 60,000 miles. Several plans come with fixed amounts of coverage: $500 per year up to 4 years. Many contracts require three years of law school to comprehend. In terms of tread depth, a tire is usually considered worn out (and thus the plan null and void) at 2/32 to 3/32 of an inch."

Adam Gault/Getty Imagesby Sean Phillips Updated May 29, 2017Confused about what that letter means right after your tire size? Ever had a tire shop ask what your speed rating was and didn't know what they meant? Don't know whether you need the more expensive V- or ZR-rated tires that the car came with? Fear not, mighty consumer, for we will edify you. A tire's speed rating is an indication, expressed as a letter code on the tire sidewall, of a speed the manufacturer expects the tire to be able to sustain over a long period of time without coming apart. This is good information to have for a number of reasons, some of which actually include the likelihood of you ever being able to sustain even the lowest of speeds that passenger car tires are rated for. The speed rating code is semi-alphabetic and goes like this: B: 50kph 31mph C: 60kph 37mph D: 65 kph 40mph E: 70 kph 43 mph F: 80 kph 50mph G: 90kph 56mph J: 100kph 62mph K: 110kph 68mph L: 120kph 75mph M: 130kph 81mph N: 140kph 87mph P: 150kph 93mph Q: 160kph 99mph R: 170kph 106mph S: 180kph 112mph T: 190kph 118mph U: 200kph 124mph H: 210kph 130mph V: 240kph 149mph After V, all ratings begin with ZR and end with either W, Y or (Y) because reasons.

It appears others are having the same blockage of the pharynx. Now that there’s a number of reviews out, they all show the same pattern: the Equinox EPA numbers are highly deceptive.

This is how “big” the wheel is when looking at the face of the wheel (in inches), or from the side of the vehicle. We don’t measure in radius’, only diameters.

Update: My car is a 1991 Toyota MR2 thats rear wheel drive1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Actually everyone of you who answered are wrong. Nearly every vehicle on the road has options for different size tires. I will try to break down the numbers of the tires for you. 205 and 195 are a measurement of the tread width in MM. 60 is the height of the sidewall in a percentage of the the tread width (either 60% of 205mm or 60% of 195mm) and 14 is the measurement of your rim. The only difference in those tires is the rolling diameter. In your case you are going to a shorter, narrower tire. You should actually get BETTER traction in snow or slush because the tire is narrower and can cut through the snow better."

Nearly every tennis ball, except maybe practice balls, is printed with the brand (i.e. Wilson, Penn, Dunlop) and then a number below that. The number is generally 1, 2, 3 or 4. There are many misconceptions about what these numbers on the tennis ball actually mean. The truth is that those numbers don’t really mean anything. The number 1 does not mean that you need to be an advanced player to use it. The ball with number 4 on it does not bounce the highest There are few if any balls with number 5 or higher So why do tennis balls have any number? Well the answer if really very simple. It’s no special code and every ball is exactly the same (within brand and type). The number on a tennis ball is meant to help you identify your ball."

Open, one of the oldest and largest tennis tournaments. With the 2015 tournament approaching, I found myself reflecting on my own experiences playing tennis, particularly how the feeling you get after hitting the ball is never quite the same. Is this simply a figment of the imagination or is there a physical answer? As I will explain here, so-called “sweet spots” can account for this feeling. The Vibration Node of a Tennis Racket In mechanical vibration theory, the vibrations nodes are defined as the points that never move when a wave is passing through them. Because of a wave created by the impact of a ball hitting a racket, the racket will, in turn, begin to oscillate and vibrate. By looking at the mode shapes of the racket — held by a player at the end of the grip — we can identify points where the vibration motion is zero (i.e., where the magnitude is zero at any time during vibration). Here are the first three mode shapes of a tennis racket computed with COMSOL Multiphysics: The first three mode shapes of a tennis racket, from left to right and top to bottom. The fundamental mode is at 15 Hz, the second mode is at 140 Hz, and the third mode is at 405 Hz. As illustrated above, many different points feature this behavior."

The system works via six (sometimes seven) high-performance cameras, normally positioned on the underside of the stadium roof, which track the ball from different angles. The video from the six cameras is then triangulated and combined to create a three-dimensional representation of the ball's trajectory. Hawk-Eye is not infallible, but is accurate to within 3.6 millimetres and generally trusted as an impartial second opinion in sports.

The International Tennis Federation, the governing organization that sets regulations for balls and other equipment, gives detailed specifications for the manufacture of tennis balls, but putting numbers on the balls is not one of those specifications. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Types of Balls The ITF mandates three types of balls to allow for play on different types of court surfaces. The organization uses numbers to identify the different types. Type 1 is for play on slow court surfaces, such as clay. Type 2 is for medium-paced courts, such acrylic and carpet, and Type 3 is for faster courts, such as artificial turf and grass. Contrary to what some people believe, the numbers on tennis balls do not indicate a type of ball. There are only three numbered types of balls, and numbers greater than three appear on various balls. The Numbers The reason for numbers on tennis balls turns out to be a very simple one, according to Whitney Kraft, director of tennis at the United States Tennis Association's Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. If you've ever played tennis on a court adjacent to other courts, you know how easily your ball can go astray and end up on one of the other courts."

Squash racket and ball Racquetball racket and ball A racket or racquet [1] is a sports implement consisting of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of strings or catgut is stretched tightly. It is used for striking a ball or shuttlecock in games such as squash, tennis, racquetball, and badminton. Collectively, these games are known as racket sports. This predecessor to the modern game of squash, rackets, is played with 30 1⁄ 2 -inch-long (77 cm) wooden rackets. While squash equipment has evolved in the intervening century, rackets equipment has changed little. The frame of rackets for all sports was traditionally made of laminated wood and the strings of animal intestine known as catgut. The traditional racket size was limited by the strength and weight of the wooden frame which had to be strong enough to hold the strings and stiff enough to hit the ball or shuttle. Manufacturers started adding non-wood laminates to wood rackets to improve stiffness. Non-wood rackets were made first of steel, then of aluminium, and then carbon fiber composites."

"text": "Home » TI magazine » Science » Racquet Power and the Ideal Racquet Weight Racquet Power and the Ideal Racquet Weight By Rod Cross What is the ideal weight of a racquet that will give the maximum possible power out of the racquet? Most elite players use a moderately heavy racquet, around 340 grams or so, but is that the best weight for maximum power or is 340 grams a compromise between power and control or maneuverability? A simple calculation suggests that the best weight, in terms of racquet power, should be the geometric mean of the ball weight and the weight of a player’s arm. CALCULATING IDEAL RACQUET WEIGHTBy “geometric mean,” I mean the following. Take any two numbers, say 4 and 16. The average or mean of these two numbers is (4 + 16)/2 = 10 which is half way between 4 and 16 in the sense that 10 - 6 = 4 and 10 + 6 = 16. The geometric mean of 4 and 16 is the square root of (4 × 16) = square root of 64 = 8, which is also half way between 4 and 16 in the sense that 8 is twice as big as 4 and 16 is twice as big as 8. Similarly, the geometric mean of 2 and 18 is the square root of (2 × 18) = 6. In this case, 6 is 3 times bigger than 2 and 18 is 3 times bigger than 6. Figure 1."

One of the main differences is between matches limited by time in which the teams have two innings apiece, and those limited by number of overs in which they have a single innings each. The former, known as first-class cricket if played at the senior level, has a scheduled duration of three to five days (there have been examples of \"\"timeless\"\" matches too); the latter, known as limited overs cricket because each team bowls a limit of typically 50 overs, has a planned duration of one day only. A separate form of limited overs is Twenty20, originally designed so that the whole game could be played in a single evening, in which each team has an innings limited to twenty overs. Double innings matches usually have at least six hours of playing time each day. Limited overs matches often last at least six hours; and Twenty20 matches are generally completed in under four hours. In a full day's play scheduled for at least six hours, there are formal intervals on each day for lunch and tea with brief informal breaks for drinks."

( Here's a list of all the reasons you've made the right choice ). Now, what exactly are you going to need to begin the sport? As a beginner, there are lots of things you don't know yet. So here's a list of the seven essential things you will need to get started in table tennis. Bats First of all, you'll need a bat of your own. Sure, you can always borrow other people's, but it's best to have your own personal ping-pong paddle. I'll talk more about how to choose your first table tennis racket later, but for now, I'm simply going to describe what a table tennis racket actually is, without getting too bogged down in all the rules concerning rackets just yet (and there are quite a few!). Firstly, the racket is made up of a mainly wooden blade, which can be of any size, shape or weight but must be flat and rigid. See the photo for an example of a typical penhold table tennis blade."

Jackie Rigley, Ilkeston Derbyshire In pingpong the ball must bounce on your side of the table before going over the net after you hit it. It is this extra bounce that gives the game the onomatopoeic name of pingpong. Apart from this the game is identical to table tennis. Geoff Badgerton, Howtown England Ping Pong was the name given to the game when it was played by gentlemen and ladies. Now it is a competitive sport it has to have a more catchy name but the rules are still the same.

Part three - what type of table tennis rubber do you need? Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five So, if you're following my recommendation to buy a customised racket ( part one) rather than a ready-made racket, and you've chosen your table tennis blade ( part two ), you're now ready to choose your rubbers. However, this is the stage where many beginners and intermediate players go astray. You see, because table tennis rubbers are now available in so many different varieties, many players find it very difficult to decide which ones to use. In addition, many players mistakenly believe that using certain rubbers will elevate their game to new heights, so they only buy the latest or \"\"best\"\" (and most expensive) rubbers. Well, this is completely unnecessary and will probably damage your game more than help it, and I'll explain why...^ Top of page ^But first, a word of warning before you choose any table tennis rubber... The two colour rule Since 1 July 1986 the rules of table tennis state that one side of the racket must be bright red and the other side must be black. This rule was introduced because of the increased use of \"\"combination\"\" rackets in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, players were using the same colour rubber on both sides of their racket, but were using two different types of rubber, and they were then \"\"twiddling\"\" the racket during the rally. This made it very difficult for their opponent to know which rubber was being used for each stroke, and therefore what type of spin was being imparting onto the ball."

We humans have a miserable sense of just how big space is, and I’ve spent a lot of time over the years working out ways to express it better. Most people don’t really grasp just how far away the Moon is, and it’s the closest astronomical object in the sky!

Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will. Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society and at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including wheelchair users. The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in the late 19th century as lawn tennis. [ 1] It had close connections both to various field (lawn) games such as croquet and bowls as well as to the older racket sport today called real tennis."

Obviously there are different model versions depending on the year as well as different conversion companies such as Autohomes, Autosleeper, Carthago, Danbury, Dehler, Dormobile, Devon, Reimo, Viking, Weinsburg and Westfalia so some of the information will apply to some campers and not to others. Some of the information mentioned is general and would apply to any vehicle but I will try to highlight issues that are specific to VW T25 / T3 campers. Also when checking a bus be realistic as you cant expect a cheap van to be totally free of faults. The idea of this guide is that it will help you make an informed decision highlighting any problems that exist so that you know exactly what you are buying. You can decide if the camper is worth the asking price and also if you can point out any problems to the seller it can give you a basis for price negotiation. Some of the information is based on my own personal opinion and you may not agree so feel free to e-mail me and let me know. I am also hoping readers will e-mail me with any useful advice that I can add to the site for the benefit of others.

If you need to catch up you can see at the bottom of this post or click here to what our prior lessons were if you need to catch up Today we are going to learn how to fix tension on your sewing machine. Having proper tension on your sewing machine is very important because it ensures that your stitching will be even and look the same on both sides. It also helps to ensure that your thread will flow easily (tension that is to tight can stop thread from moving as you sew) as you sew. Tension is what keeps your bottom and top stitches in equal tension with one another. Or in other words what keeps your front and back stitches looking the same. If both your top and back stitches don't look the same it may be due to your tension not being right either on the top or bottom. Both the top and bottom tension must work together."

But while a colony in late winter may consist of only 10,000 bees, a summer colony averages about 50,000 bees—and in some cases the summer population may reach 70,000+. With all those bees in the hive, the brood nest has to be cooled to keep it at the ideal bee-rearing temperature. A s temperatures increase in spring and early summer, it is not unusual to see throngs of bees sitting on the bottom board near the entrance to the hive. Even early in the morning after a cold night, they may be all lined up, looking like they are about to swarm. However, congregating at the entrance is normal behavior for this time of year. Think of it this way: Even a small cluster in the dead of winter manages to keep the brood nest warm. Individual bees take turns pressing their bodies against the brood and, by doing so, the baby bees are incubated at a cozy ninety-some degrees Fahrenheit. But as the outside temperature gets warmer, so does the inside temperature. In addition, the number of hive occupants rises dramatically."

The listing agent must correct this issue as described below. CTI Navigator sets an approximate limit on what can be typed into the Remarks, Special Remarks, and Directions fields. However, because CTI Navigator allows proportional ( variable) spaced fonts, it cannot be programmed in advance exactly how much space what is typed into the field will eventually fill the entire printable space. It is not just a function of number of characters. The total space is affected by factors such as the difference between letters (such as \"\"i\"\" versus \"\"w\"\") and between numbers (such as “1” and “8”), but also by the fact that capital or italicized letters occupy more space than lowercase or non-italicized versions of the same letter. It would degrade performance if the program had to continuously re-calculate space used/remaining with every keystroke as you type in the Remarks, Special Remarks, or Directions fields. Pasting information into a field on the other hand is an all-or-none process. Therefore, Navigator will accept pasting blocks of text even though some of the text may exceed the available print area and not display on MLS reports. As a general guideline, to ensure text can display in printed reports when using Arial 12 point font, listing agents should: Remarks: enter no more than 5 to 6 lines of text in the text field, or approximately 700 characters (including spaces)Special Remarks: enter no more than 2.5 lines of text in the text field, or approximately 300 characters (including spaces)Directions: enter no more than 2 lines of text, or approximately 200 characters (including spaces)."

"text": "\"Kevin Baumgartner, Resident physician, Emergency Medicine Answered Feb 12, 2013 · Author has 90 answers and 628.9k answer views These numbers are measurements of visual acuity; that is, of how clear and accurate your vision is. The standard test for visual acuity is very simple: you stand a certain distance away from an eye chart with lots of different letters/numbers on it, like this one: As you can see, the letters get smaller as you go down. The doctor or nurse (or optometrist) asks you to read off the lines of letters, starting at the top and going down, until you can no longer read any further (because the letters are too small). Your numerical result is then generated by comparing you to an arbitrary \"\"normal\"\" standard. The first number is thedistance you were standing from the chart-say, 6 meters. The second number is a measure ofhow well you did in terms of reading the tiny letters as compared to the \"\"normal\"\" person. For example, if you read just as well as a normal person, you'd get a 6 for your second number: you read the chart as well as a normal person would from 6 meters away. So your score would be6/6: while standing 6 meters from the chart (first 6), you read as well as a normal person would standing 6 meters from the chart (second 6). You have \"\"normal\"\" vision. But say your vision is failing, and you read small letters poorly."

I’ve never been convinced. Mainly because there’s too much detail in the serpent and it becomes lost at small sizes. Audi Designed in 1932Audi’s four ring design was created to symbolise the merger of four individual companies. One of my favourites for it’s simplicity and meaning. BMW Designed in 1917The blue and white panels of the Bavarian flag were placed at the centre of the design. During the late 1920s, the BMW logo was given a new interpretation, that of a rotating propellor. Simple and iconic.

[ c]A symbol of 800 years of monarchy, [6] the sovereign's coronation regalia is the only working set in Europe – other present-day monarchies have abandoned coronations in favour of inauguration or enthronement ceremonies – and is the largest set of regalia in the world. [ 7] Objects used to invest and crown the monarch variously denote his or her roles as Head of State, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces. In 1953, a new pair of armills or bracelets were made for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II to represent her role as Head of the Commonwealth. Use of regalia by monarchs in England can be traced back to its early history. A permanent set of coronation regalia, once belonging to Edward the Confessor, was established after he was made a saint in the 12th century. By the Tudor period it was usual for a monarch to inherit state regalia from his or her predecessor. Most of the present collection as a whole dates from around 350 years ago when King Charles II ascended the throne. The medieval and Tudor regalia had been either sold or melted down after the monarchy was abolished in 1649, during the English Civil War. Only four original items pre-date the Restoration: a late 12th-century anointing spoon, which is the oldest object in the collection, and three early 17th-century swords."

Kurt Angle responds to Conor Mc Gregor Olympic gold medalist–and legendary professional wrestler–Kurt Angle was not amused by Conor Mc Gregor’s insults aimed at WWE’s wrestlers. “Conor is either the most loved or the most hated fighter in UFC, and that’s a credit to him,” said Angle. “ But to cross over into another career, into pro wrestling–something you don’t even know–and call WWE wrestlers “p------”? That’s offensive. Don’t talk about someone you don’t know. ”Mc Gregor told Sports Illustrated last Friday, “For the most part, WWE guys are p------.”Angle believes Mc Gregor was simply working his self-hype machine before his upcoming fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 202. In reality, Angle explained, Mc Gregor would be tested in the Octagon by WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler. “Dolph Ziggler was a great amateur wrestler,” said Angle. “ If he trained for six months, Dolph could give Conor a good run for his money."

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.

Numbers in China range between auspicious and ominous mainly depending on their pronunciation and on their meaning in feng shui (a Chinese philosophical system for harmonizing people with their environment). For individuals, lucky numbers are also related to their date of birth. Pronunciation Whether a number is considered lucky or not is often related to the similarity between its pronunciation and that of another word which carries a positive or negative connotation. For example, the number 8 is considered lucky because its pronunciation is similar to that of the word‘发’fa in ‘发财’ (‘to make a fortune’). Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Chinese 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 九Pronunciationyī èrsānsì wǔ liù qī bā jiǔFeng Shui Feng shui was first described in the Book of Changes, a book of divination dating back more than 2,500 years, which had profound influence on Chinese thought. The ancient Chinese who wrote this book combined numbers and symbols to explain how things change."

The congress agreed on proposals for a modern Olympics, and the International Olympic Committee was soon formalized and given the task of planning the 1896 Athens Games. After the 1912 Stockholm Games—the first Games featuring athletes from all five inhabited parts of the world—a design of five interlocked rings, drawn and colored by hand, appeared at the top of a letter Coubertin sent to a colleague. Coubertin used his ring design as the emblem of the IOC's 20th anniversary celebration in 1914. A year later, it became the official Olympic symbol. The rings were to be used on flags and signage at the 1916 Games, but those games were canceled because of the ongoing World War. The rings made a belated debut at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. Coubertin explained his design in 1931:\"\"A white background, with five interlaced rings in the centre: blue, yellow, black, green and red ... is symbolic; it represents the five inhabited continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time. \"\""

Some - such as the flame, fanfare, and theme - are more common during Olympic competition, but others, such as the flag, can be seen throughout the year. The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field, known as the \"\"Olympic rings\"\". The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games. According to Coubertin, the ring colours with the white background stand for those colors that appeared on all the national flags that competed in the Olympic games at that time. Upon its initial introduction, Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1912 edition of Olympique:\"\"...the six colours [including the flag’s white background] thus combined reproduce the colours of all the nations, with no exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tri- colours of France, England and America, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or Australia, with old Japan and new China. Here is truly an international symbol. \"\" In his article published in the \"\"Olympic Revue\"\" the official magazine of the International Olympic Committee in November 1992, the American historian Robert Barney explains that the idea of the interlaced rings came to Pierre de Coubertin when he was in charge of the USFSA, an association founded by the union of two French sports associations and until 1925, responsible for representing the International Olympic Committee in France: The emblem of the union was two interlaced rings (like the vesica piscis typical interlaced marriage rings) and originally the idea of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung: for him, the ring symbolized continuity and the human being. The 1914 Congress had to be suspended because of the outbreak of World War I, but the symbol and flag were later adopted."

All these organisms are interconnected within a food web and rely on each other for survival. Even though the coastal waters of Antarctica are cold and often covered with ice, the sea supports a large number of different species from algae to invertebrates to larger vertebrates such as fish, penguins, seals and whales. Food webs A food web shows the feeding relationships between the organisms in a particular ecosystem, basically what eats what. It shows how energy flows through the ecosystem. Organisms can be divided into producers, consumers and decomposers within a food web:producers - green plants - they make their food using the Sun's energy in a process called photosynthesisconsumers - usually animals - they must eat other organisms as their food sourcedecomposers - they break down dead organisms to use as their food source, for example, bacteria The Antarctic ecosystem is unique in that the food chains are very short and often based on the availability of krill, which is vital for all animal life forms living in Antarctica. Producers Producers in the Antarctic marine ecosystem are:sea ice algae - which live on the underside of the sea ice but may fall to the sea floorphytoplankton - which may be carried under the sea ice by currents from open water regionsmacroalgae - leafy seaweeds and algae that are attached to rocks and corals on the sea floormicroalgae - microscopic algae that lives on the surface of sea floor sediments.

You'll also learn about how energy flows through an ecosystem. Food Chains The Sonoran Desert in the Southwestern United States may seem like a desolate place, but looks can be deceiving, because a wide array of wildlife can be found in this very dry environment. You might wonder how animals can make a living in the desert - after all, what is there for them to eat? Just like in every other ecosystem, all animals must eat other organisms, or, at the very least, secretions of other organisms, to acquire energy. We can follow a sequence of organisms that feed on each other to create a food chain, or a sequence of organisms that feed on each other. Since a food chain follows the sequence of organisms that feed on each other, it always starts with an organism that gets its energy from an abiotic source, which is usually light from the sun. An organism that gets its energy from an abiotic source is called a producer. Since plants get their energy from sunlight, they are producers; one of the common producers in the Sonoran Desert is the prickly pear cactus. Many different animals eat the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, including Harris's antelope squirrel."

How They Meet Their 4 Basic Needs Organism Adaptions Two Adaptions for the Tiger The tiger has a special adaption in the retinas, which allows more light to reflect back into their eyes making it easier to see in the dark. This helps them hunt in the dark. They also have stripes which is an adaption because as sunlight filters through the canopy, it creates stripes of shadow.

If you can understand this, you are in good shape, because then you have an idea of how ecosystems are balanced, how they may be affected by human activities, and how pollutants will move through an ecosystem. If you had Biology 101, this should be review; if you had Geology 101, this is new stuff. Either way, it is pretty basic and you shouldn't have much trouble reading this material or the associated material in the text. Roles of Organisms Organisms can be either producers or consumers in terms of energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose. Plants are the most obvious examples of producers; plants take energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide into glucose (or other sugars). Algae and cyanobacteria are also photosynthetic producers, like plants. Other producers include bacteria living around deep-sea vents. These bacteria take energy from chemicals coming from the Earth's interior and use it to make sugars."

The Earth's population is \"\"only\"\" about 7 billion. The big question really is: If we want to feed everyone, what would everyone need to eat? To answer that question, download this excel spreadsheet and try plugging in some numbers. Example: One acre of a grain crop could be used to feed cattle, and then the cattle could be used to feed people. If 50% of the energy is lost to the cattle, you could feed twice as many people if you fed them the grain directly. Another way of looking at it is that it would only take a half acre of land to feed the people grain, but a whole acre if you feed the grain to the cattle and the cattle to the people. A common practice to grow cattle faster is to feed them ground up animal protein. This means that when we eat the meat from the cow, we're at the tertiary level or higher."

The Sources of the Energies That Fuel the Cycle1.1. From the Thermal Origins of Life to Photosynthesis and Trophic Levels Life started deep in the crust of the Earth, where the oxidation of sulphur was powered by the intense heat from below. These ancient thermophiles eventually multiplied, diversified and evolved to cope with colder and colder climates. When a chance mutation resulted in the production of light-sensitive chemicals, life eventually emerged on the surface and floated in the cooling oceans.1."

"text": "\"Food web and food chain Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: cappi thompson The terms food chain and food web both refer to groups of organisms that are dependent on each other for food. A food chain is a single series of organisms in which each plant or animal depends on the organism above or below it. As an example, a food chain might consist of garden plants, such as lettuce and carrots, fed upon by rabbits which, in turn, are fed upon by owls which, in turn, are fed upon by hawks. A food chain is largely a theoretical idea and probably seldom, if ever, exists in the real world. It is a useful concept, however, as it helps ecologists understand how specific plants and animals are dependent upon one another. The feeding relationships of organisms in the real world is almost always more complex than suggested by a food chain. For that reason, the term food web is more accurate than is food chain. A food web differs from a food chain in that it includes all the organisms whose feeding habits are related in some way or another to those of other organisms. In the example above, small animals other than rabbits feed on lettuce and carrots and, in turn, those animals are fed upon by a variety of larger animals. Structure of food webs Food webs are organized into three main categories, depending on the kinds of organisms they contain."

Such flows can be very large, and some ecosystems dependalmost entirely on energy that is imported. A food chain is one particular route through a food web. A food web helps depict how an ecosystem is structured and functions. Most published food websomit predation on minor species, the quantities of food consumed, the temporal variation of theflows, and many other details. Along a simple food chain, A eats B, B eats C, and so on. For example, the energy that plantscapture from the sun during photosynthesis may end up in the tissues of a hawk."

Physical laws govern energy flow and chemical cycling in ecosystems Ecosystem ecologists view ecosystems as transformers of energy and processors of matter. The transformation of energy in an ecosystem and the movements of chemical elements through a community can be followed by grouping the species in a community into trophic levels of feeding relationships. Laws of physics and chemistry apply to ecosystems, particularly energy flow The first law of thermodynamics states that - energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed Energy enters an ecosystem as solar radiation, is conserved, and is lost from organisms as heat The second law of thermodynamics states that every exchange of energy increases the entropy of the universe In an ecosystem, energy conversions are not completely efficient, and some energy is always lost as heat Law of conservation of mass matter cannot be created or destroyed Chemical elements are continually recycled within ecosystems Chemical elements can move between ecosystems as inputs and outputs.

It refers to the mode of nutrition at that level. For example, a producer or autotroph is an organism capable of converting simple inorganic compounds into organic compounds like glucose that can be used by other organisms as food. Green plants and algae occupy the producer level because they can use the energy of the sun, plus carbon dioxide and water, to produce glucose and oxygen. The next trophic level is primary consumer or herbivore. These are organisms that gain food energy by eating the producers. An example is a caterpillar consuming leaves or a rabbit feeding on crops. The next trophic level is the secondary consumer. This organism gains its food energy by eating the primary consumer. Since it consumes flesh it is considered a carnivore."

( from Duxbury and Duxbury, 1994, An Introduction to the World's Oceans)The pyramid represents energy in the ocean. The widest part is the microscopic algae. These are at the bottom because they are what converts the sun's energy into carbohydrates usable by everything else. Organisms that can make their own food like this are called autotrophs or producers. Since they have access to the most energy---all the energy from the sun---they have more biomass (living mass) than the layers above them.

The pre-Columbian civilizations were extraordinary developments in human society and culture, ranking with the early civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China. Like the ancient civilizations of the Old World, those in the New World were characterized by kingdoms and empires, great monuments and cities, and refinements in the arts, metallurgy, and writing; the ancient civilizations of the Americas also display in their histories similar cyclical patterns of growth and decline, unity and disunity. In the New World the roots of civilization lay in a native agricultural way of life. These agricultural beginnings go back several millennia, to perhaps about 7000 bce and the first experimentations by the early Americans with plant cultivation. The domestication of successful food plants proved to be a long, slow process, and it was not until much later that a condition of permanent village farming life was achieved in the tropical latitudes of the two continents. Sedentary village farming in Mesoamerica came into being by about 1500 bce. Corn (maize), beans, squashes, chili peppers, and cotton were the most important crops. These early villagers wove cloth, made pottery, and practiced other typical Neolithic skills. It appears that such villages were economically self-contained and politically autonomous, with an egalitarian social order."

They were built over a period of 2,700 years, ranging from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the close of the Ptolemaic period. But the time at which pyramid building reached its acme, the pyramid age par excellence, was that commencing with the 3rd dynasty and ending at roughly the 6th ( c. 2686–2325 bce ). During those years the pyramid was the usual type of royal tomb. It was not, as such, an isolated structure but was always part of an architectural complex. The essential components, at least during the Old Kingdom, were the pyramid itself, containing or surmounting the grave proper and standing within an enclosure on high desert ground; an adjacent mortuary temple; and a causeway leading down to a pavilion (usually called the valley temple ), situated at the edge of the cultivation and probably connected with the Nile by a canal."

There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.

Thor Heyerdahl holds a shark fished from the ocean in 1947 aboard the Kon Tiki Academic orthodoxy held that Polynesia had been colonised from Asia, not South America, and that the journey of almost 5,000 miles central to Heyerdahl's heretical theories was beyond the navigational skills of a primitive people such as the Peruvians. The features common to the two cultures were said to be coincidental. Since no publisher would print his thesis, Heyerdahl decided that only a recreation of such a voyage could give his ideas the necessary credibility. With five friends as crew, Heyerdahl constructed a 60 ft-long raft with sails, its design based on ancient pictures of Indian oceangoing vessels. The craft was named Kon-Tiki, after the mythical Polynesian hero Tiki, who was said in oral tradition to have led the ancestors of the islanders there from the East. Heyerdahl had first heard the legend in the mid-1930s, while he was living in the Pacific on the Marquesas Islands, and had connected this Polynesian Aeneas with the Inca tale of Con-Tici, the fair-skinned king said to have fled from Peru across the ocean following the massacre of his race at Lake Titicaca some 500 years before the birth of Christ. On April 28 1947, the Kon-Tiki pushed off from the Peruvian port of Callao. For 101 days it drifted across the Pacific, pushed towards Polynesia - as Heyerdahl had predicted - by warm currents and the south-east trade wind. The crew supplemented their US Army issue rations with freshly caught shark."

"text": "Marine Biology, Biol 410Marine Biology: Ocean Primary Productivity Abiotic factors like solar radiation and nutrients, and biotic factors like zooplankton predation may affect ocean primary productivity. Productivity varies with the season, and also locally and globally. Variation in primary productivity, measured typically as the concentration of chlorophyll in water, is a primary determinant of all biological productivity up the food web and trophic pyramid. In this lecture you have the opportunity to explore a number of examples of how ocean productivity varies. The images used here are made from satellites such as the Nimbus 7 satellite, with color scanner, or the Coastal Zone Scanner. These satellites were in-service in the 1970's and 1980's. Global patterns of productivity Look at this image of global productivity. Colors correspond to surface chlorophyll content. Red end of spectrum is highest productivity, blue/violet end is lowest. The overall pattern with latitude is clearly visible: low productivity in the tropics and subtropics, probably due to nutrient limitation brought about by strong, year-round thermocline and pycnocline."

At its narrowest point the isthmus is only about 30 miles (50 km) wide, and there is no location in Central America that is more distant than 125 miles (200 km) from the sea. Humid swamps and lowlands extend along both the west and east coasts, but four-fifths of Central America is either hilly or mountainous. The western band of Pacific coastal lowland is narrow and overshadowed by mountain ranges, and, except in Nicaragua and Honduras, the eastern plains along the Caribbean are also narrow.

He was 87. Mr. Heyerdahl died of cancer in Italy, where he had been vacationing, his family said. He had lived in recent years in Güímar, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Fame came to Mr. Heyerdahl in 1947, at the age of 32. A tall, lean man in an appropriately Viking mold, he and five others crossed a broad stretch of the Pacific in the balsa-log raft Kon-Tiki, seeking to prove that the Polynesian islands could have been settled by prehistoric South American people. The 101-day, 4,300-mile drifting voyage on the 40-square-foot raft, a replica of pre-Inca vessels, took them safely from Peru to Raroia, a coral island near Tahiti. This demonstrated to Mr. Heyerdahl's satisfaction that his theory could be fact. He was convinced that Polynesia's first settlers had come from South America, and not from Asia by way of the western Pacific islands, as nearly all scholars thought. Mr. Heyerdahl was an ardent exponent of the ''diffusionist'' school of cultural anthropology, which holds that cultural similarities between geographically separated societies are not necessarily spontaneous coincidence but sometimes are the result of contacts in antiquity."

"text": "\"Vanished Civilization Michael Ruark August 17, 2015 The Truth Previous Next For almost as long as we’ve had civilization, we’ve lost it. There are records going back hundreds of years of explorers discovering huge temples encrusted with jungle, or giant pits full of treasure that were once grand palaces. Why did people abandon these once-thriving cities, agricultural centers, and trade routes? Often, the answer is unknown. The Maya The Maya are perhaps the classic example of a civilization that was completely lost, its great monuments, cities and roads swallowed up by the central American jungles, and its peoples scattered to small villages. Though the languages and traditions of the Maya still survive up to the present day, the civilization’s peak was during the first millennium AD, when their greatest architectural feats and massive agricultural projects covered a vast region in the Yucatán — today, an area stretching from Mexico to Guatemala and Belize. One of the largest Mesoamerican civilizations, the Maya made extensive use of writing, math, an elaborate calendar, and sophisticated engineering to build their pyramids and terraced farms. Though it’s often said that the Maya civilization began a mysterious decline in roughly the year 900, a great deal of evidence points to climate change in the Yucatán combined with internecine warfare, which resulted in famine and abandonment of the city centers. Indus Valley Civilization One of the great civilizations of the ancient world is called simply the Indus or Harappan civilization. Thousands of years ago, it may have boasted up to 5 million people, almost 10 percent of the world’s population, spread over a region that encompassed parts of today’s India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan."

"text": "Trophic pyramid, the basic structure of interaction in all biological communities characterized by the manner in which food energy is passed from one trophic level to the next along the food chain. The base of the pyramid is composed of species called autotrophs, the primary producers of the ecosystem. All other organisms in the ecosystem are consumers called heterotrophs, which either directly or indirectly depend on the primary producers for food energy. Figure 2: Transfer of energy through an ecosystem. At each trophic level only a small proportion of energy (approximately 10 percent) is transferred to the next level. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Within all biological communities, energy at each trophic level is lost in the form of heat (as much as 80 to 90 percent), as organisms expend energy for metabolic processes such as staying warm and digesting food ( see biosphere: The organism and the environment: Resources of the biosphere: The flow of energy ). The higher the organism is on the trophic pyramid, the lower the amount of available energy. For example, plants and other autotrophs (primary producers) convert only a fraction of the enormous amount of solar energy they have access to into food energy. Herbivores and detritivores (primary consumers) take in less available energy because they are limited by the biomass of the plants they devour. It follows that the carnivores (secondary consumers) that feed on herbivores and detritivores and those that eat other carnivores (tertiary consumers) have the lowest amount of energy available to them.trophic pyramid Energy flow, heat loss, and the relative amount of biomass occurring at various trophic levels within a generalized land ecosystem."

A marine biologist, Victor Smetacek, was thinking about giant whales — blues, humpbacks and especially the baleens. Baleen whales eat lots of krill, little crustacean critters that look like itty-bitty lobsters. Krill, in turn, eat even smaller, almost microscopic varieties of plankton, diatoms and zooplankton. Robert Krulwich/NPRSo that follows the classic \"\"biggies eat the littlies\"\" pattern. But what about the few-to-many pyramid? Well, here, when Smetacek looked closely, something wasn't right. The problem was with the middle group — the krill. Robert Krulwich/NPRWe know how much whales eat today. We know that a hundred years ago, there were lots more whales in the southern oceans."

"text": "Salivary Glands Contents Saliva The Major Glands The Minor Glands Pathology The salivary glands are exocrine glands that are positioned in and around the oral cavity and secrete their salivary contents into the mouth to help keep the oral mucosa protected and lubricated as well as to help in the initial stages of digestion during mastication of food so that a food bolus is created and ready to be swallowed for further processing. They are divided into the major and minor salivary glands and the difference between them is that firstly the major ones are much larger in size and are a collection of exocrine tissue that secretes as a whole into a salivary duct rather than acting individually and therefore end up producing a much larger amount of saliva per day than the minor ducts. The main role of the minor glands is to lubricate the oral cavity, while digestive and protective saliva is produced by the major glands. Recommended video: Temporal muscle Anatomy and function of the temporal (temporalis) muscle. Saliva Saliva is a seromucinous liquid that has several major functions within the oral cavity which include lubrication, digestion, antimicrobial action, buffering, hormone regulation and taste sensation. It contains 99.5% water and the rest is electrolytes, mucus, glycoproteins, enzymes and antibacterial compounds. There are two major types of saliva that are secreted from the salivary glands and they are serous and mucinous. The submandibular gland is the only mixed salivary gland that secretes both types in a 3:2 ratio of serous to mucous respectively. The parotid gland is the only gland that secretes purely serous saliva, while the sublingual gland and minor salivary glands secrete purely mucinous saliva. The total daily output of saliva in an adult is between one and one and a half liters of saliva."

Humans have three paired major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) as well as hundreds of minor salivary glands. [ 1] Salivary glands can be classified as serous, mucous or seromucous (mixed). In serous secretions, the main type of protein secreted is ptyalin ( alpha-amylase ), an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose and glucose, [2] whereas in mucous secretions, the main protein secreted is mucin which acts as a lubricant. [ 1]In health, between 0.5 and 1.5 litres of saliva are produced every day.

Recommended video: Parotid gland Anatomy, innervation and function of the parotid gland. Anatomy Parotid gland The gland is bilateral, paired and sits on either side of the face in the preauricular area, behind and upon the mandibular ramus. There it is encapsulated by the masseteric fascia deriving from the deep cervical fascia. The parotid plexus, branches of the facial nerve, passes through the parotid gland and divides it into a superficial and a deep part but does not innervate it. The parotid duct (also known as Stensen's duct) drains the saliva into the oral cavity opposite the upper second molar tooth via the parotid papilla. In its course it crosses the masseter and pierces through the buccinator. Gland tissues along the parotid duct and lying on the masseter muscle are referred to as accessory parotid glands. The parotid is bordered anteriorly by the masseter muscle and the mandibular ramus and superiorly by the external acoustic meatus and the condyle of the mandible in the glenoid fossa."

All of these glands produce saliva and secrete it into the mouth cavity via the salivary gland. This accounts for the majority of the saliva in the mouth. Many smaller accessory glands in the lining of the mouth and tongue also contribute moderate quantities of saliva into the mouth. Saliva secretion is constant and significantly increases during eating or as a result of seeing or smelling appetizing food. Swelling of the salivary gland is usually unilateral (one-sided) but certain systemic causes may result in bilateral swelling. Depending on the extent of the enlargement and gland involved, the swollen gland may cause visible swelling of the face. Other symptoms that may also be present include : Mouth pain Dry mouth Bad taste in the mouth (cacogeusia)Difficulty talking (slurred speech)Fever Both the major and minor salivary glands may be affected by a number of conditions thereby resulting in swelling or enlargement of the gland.

The submandibular glands, which are rounded in shape, lie near the inner side of the lower jawbone, in front of the sternomastoid muscle (the prominent muscle of the jaw). The sublingual glands lie directly under the mucous membrane covering the floor of the mouth beneath the tongue. The three major pairs of salivary glands. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The salivary glands are of the type called racemose, from the Latin racemosus (“full of clusters”), because of the clusterlike arrangement of their secreting cells in rounded sacs, called acini, attached to freely branching systems of ducts. The walls of the acini surround a small central cavity known as an alveolus. In the walls of the acini are pyramidal secreting cells and some flat, star-shaped contractile cells called myoepithelial, or basket, cells."

The Digestive System156 23.3 The Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the structures of the mouth, including its three accessory digestive organs Group the 32 adult teeth according to name, location, and function Describe the process of swallowing, including the roles of the tongue, upper esophageal sphincter, and epiglottis Trace the pathway food follows from ingestion into the mouth through release into the stomach In this section, you will examine the anatomy and functions of the three main organs of the upper alimentary canal—the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus—as well as three associated accessory organs—the tongue, salivary glands, and teeth. The Mouth The cheeks, tongue, and palate frame the mouth, which is also called the oral cavity (or buccal cavity). The structures of the mouth are illustrated in Figure 1. At the entrance to the mouth are the lips, or labia (singular = labium). Their outer covering is skin, which transitions to a mucous membrane in the mouth proper. Lips are very vascular with a thin layer of keratin; hence, the reason they are “red.” They have a huge representation on the cerebral cortex, which probably explains the human fascination with kissing! The lips cover the orbicularis oris muscle, which regulates what comes in and goes out of the mouth. The labial frenulum is a midline fold of mucous membrane that attaches the inner surface of each lip to the gum."

Readers Comments 13 Share Your Story Sjögren's syndrome is a disorder of the moisture-producing glands, such as the tear glands (lacrimal glands) and the salivary glands. These glands become infiltrated with white blood cells (lymphocytes) that are part of our immune system. This causes the glands to produce less moisture, leading to dryness of the eyes and mouth. In some cases, lymphocytes also infiltrate internal organs such as the lungs, the kidneys, the nervous system, the liver, and the intestines. Because these infiltrates can affect multiple organs, they can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Sjögren's syndrome often occurs in people who have other rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, or polymyositis/ dermatomyositis. This is described as secondary Sjögren's syndrome. When the syndrome occurs without another rheumatic disorder, it is called primary Sjögren's syndrome."

As saliva passes through the salivary ducts, cations (sodium and chloride) are reabsorbed into the adjacent blood vessels. In exchange, bicarbonates and potassium are transferred from the blood vessels into the salivary ducts. Stimulated Salivary Flow• Saliva passes through the salivary duct very rapidly (a negative result of fast flow)o It impedes the exchange of sodium and chloride for potassium and bicarbonate Unstimulated Salivary Flow• Has a high content of potassium and bicarbonate (a positive result of slow flow)o The quality of unstimulated saliva will change when flow increases because of a stimulus (chewing gum, thinking about lemons, looking at a food you crave)Fluoride and Saliva Fluoride is also secreted in saliva.

"text": "Koki Iino/Getty Images Japanese Girls' Day—also known as the Doll's Festival—is celebrated on March 3 to pray for the health and happiness of young girls in Japan. Hinamatsuri, the name of the celebration in Japan, is marked by families displaying a set of hina dolls in the house and serving special food delicacies that are ceremonially beautiful and delicious. Hina Dolls Traditionally, parents or grandparents of a newborn girl buy a set of hina dolls for the baby, unless they have special dolls that are inherited from generation to generation. Usually, from the end of February to March 3, hina dolls dressed in Japanese ancient costumes are displayed on tiered platforms that are covered with a red carpet. The costumed dolls represent the imperial court of the Heian period (A. D. 794 to 1185) and feature the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians dressed in traditional garb. The dolls are displayed hierarchically with the emperor and empress at the top, which are set in front of a gilded screen representing the thrown. The number of dolls and their size vary from home to home, but five to seven platforms are common. It is customary to put the dolls away as soon as the festival is over—there is a superstition that if the dolls are left out, a family will have trouble marrying off their daughters. After the festival, some people release paper dolls into the rivers praying that this will send away sickness and bad fortune. Traditional Food As with almost all holidays, food and drink play a role on Girls' Day, with rice wine and rice cakes taking center stage, along with flower blossoms."

These dolls were made out of Japanese Washi paper and cotton. In Japan, hundreds of theses dolls were baded on charactrers from famous Kabuki, Bunraku, Noh and Ukiyoe paintings which depicted the folk cultures, traditions, social class and historical periods. These Japanese Paper Dolls do not have eyes, nose or mouth, because it is said that the facial expression changes according to the imaginations of the owner or maker. I love making Japanese paper dolls. Even before one can begin to make a Japanese paper doll, s/he must sort through layers and layers of sheets of Japanese paper ( washi) and carefully select which colors and patterns to use. The artist must imagine how these layers of washi will eventually become a beautiful doll. Folding, cutting and gluing… the many sheets of washi become Geisha dolls or Maiko dolls or other traditional Japanese dolls. The transformation of delicate washi to a full, complete paper doll is amazing!! Every doll has its own history and story; this is what I love about washi ningyu."

Some are so different that they do not even remotely resemble the original festival despite sharing the same name and date. There are also various local festivals (e.g. Tobata Gion) that are mostly unknown outside a given prefecture. It is commonly said that you will always find a festival somewhere in Japan. Unlike most people in East Asia, Japanese people generally do not celebrate Lunar New Year (it having been supplanted by the Western New Year's Day, on January 1, in the late 19th century ); although many Chinese residents in Japan, as well as some shrines and temples for religious purposes, still celebrate Lunar New Year in parallel with the Western New Year.

Ken's hair was made of felt in his first year (known to collectors as the \"\" flocked \"\" hair Ken), but this was replaced with a plastic, molded hairstyle when the felt hair was found to fall off when wet. [ 1] Superstar Ken featured a dimpled smile, a head that could swivel, bent arms, a more muscular physique, jewelry, and underwear permanently molded to his body. The woman who made the Ken doll made it to resemble her husband. Ken's best friend, Allan Sherwood (Midge's boyfriend, later husband), was introduced in 1964."

(c. 1930s–1960s)Jesco (c. 1970s–2011)Kewpie Corporation (2012-present)Country United States Availability 1912–present Materials Bisque, composition, celluloid, rubber, plastic Kewpie is a brand of dolls and figurines that were conceived as comic strip characters by cartoonist Rose O'Neill. The illustrated cartoons, appearing as baby cupid characters, began to gain popularity after the publication of O'Neill's comic strips in 1909, and O'Neill began to illustrate and sell paper doll versions of the Kewpies. The characters were first produced as bisque dolls in Waltershausen, Germany, beginning in 1912, and became extremely popular in the early 20th century. [ 1]The Kewpie dolls were initially made out of bisque exclusively, but composition versions were introduced in the 1920s, and celluloid versions were manufactured in the following decades. In 1949, Effanbee created the first hard plastic versions of the dolls, and soft rubber and vinyl versions were produced by Cameo Co. and Jesco between the 1960s and 1990s. The earlier bisque and composition versions of Kewpie dolls are widely sought-after by antique and doll collectors, who especially want those hand-signed by O'Neill. Kewpies should not be confused with the baby-like Billiken figures that debuted in 1908. ["

"text": "\"Antique Dolls Doll Collecting Celluloid Dolls By Denise Van Patten Updated 08/15/17Share Pin Email Two-tone celluloid dolls, made by Rheinische Gummi und Celluloid Fabrik, Germany, 20th century. De Agostini / G. Cigolini / Getty Images When celluloid was invented and first came to prominence in the 1870s, dolls were nearly all breakable and fragile-- bisque and china dolls were easily shattered and papier mache and wax easily ruined. So, it wasn't a surprise that doll companies started experimenting with celluloid to mold dolls rather early on. By the early 1900s, celluloid dolls were plentiful, since celluloid was easily molded and generally inexpensive. What is Celluloid? Celluloid is one of the first synthetic plastics ever created. It is a plastic created from wood products that includes cellulose nitrate and camphor. First created in 1863, it was a popular material to make items as diverse as jewelry and dolls from the 1870s through the 1930s. Celluloid, however, was not the perfect plastic, since it is flammable and deteriorates easily if exposed to moisture, and can be prone to cracking and yellowing with certain formulations. Dates of Production of Celluloid Dolls Some companies experimented with celluloid dolls nearly as soon as celluloid hit the general market."

European bisque doll from the 1870s A doll is a model of a human being, often used as a toy for children. Dolls have traditionally been used in magic and religious rituals throughout the world, and traditional dolls made of materials such as clay and wood are found in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe. The earliest documented dolls go back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome. The use of dolls as toys was documented in Greece around 100 AD. They have been made as crude, rudimentary playthings as well as elaborate art. Modern doll manufacturing has its roots in Germany, from the 15th century.

FALSEExamples: [Collected via e-mail, July 2010]The story is how Hello Kitty came to be…that a mother or father, depending on the version of the story had a child that had cancer. The parent made a pact with the devil that if the child was cured they would create a character in the devil’s honor that would be adored worldwide. There are different variations but they all boil down to the point that Hello Kitty is evil and that God fearing people should stay away from any HK products as they are affiliated with the devil and devil worship. [ Collected via e-mail, March 2005]I’ve heard from a couple people that Hello Kitty, the famous flagship mascot of Japanese mascot design house Sanrio actually got her start as the mascot for a controversial nuclear power plant in Japan in the early 70s? Seems that, given Japan’s past with all things nuclear, the Japanese were understandably quite loath to having a nuclear power plant opening on their soil. So, the story goes, they hired Sanrio to create a people-friendly mascot that they could use to brand all their official stationery, literature, advertisements, products, etc. That mascot was, of course, Hello Kitty, who became so popular with the Japanese general public that she (and Sanrio) took on a life of her own and eventually everyone forgot about her power plant past and became the icon that she is today. Origins: Few cultural icons have achieved the measure of success that has the feline cartoon character from Japan known as Hello Kitty. She’s on everything vendible, from backpacks and coin purses to laptops and gentlemen’s underwear."

In Japan, Kodomo no hi, or \"\"Children's Day,\"\" is celebrated every year on May 5. On this national holiday, children are respected and honored for their individual strengths and happiness is wished upon them. Children's Day was originally known as Tango no Sekku (literally nearing the seventh sign of the chinese zodiac, but usually translated as Boys Day) and was a celebration for boys. The holiday was officially changed to celebrate the health and growth of both girls and boys in 1948. Kodomo no hi is particularly well known for the unique traditions and decorations that are associated with the celebration of the holiday. On Kodomo no hi, Koinobori, or cloth carp streamers, are flown on poles outside of public buildings and private houses to bring luck and good fortune to the children inside. Koi fish, or Carp, are believed to be strong, spirited fish and are revered for their determination in fighting as they swim upstream and through powerful waterfalls. Koinobori symbolize the desire for children to become brave and strong indivuduals. Koi Streamers."

They take place from the end of April through roughly May 5th. So, what is Golden Week and why is it celebrated? With this overview, get the facts about the tradition and its significance to the Japanese people. What Does Golden Week Commemorate? Japan's Golden Week gets its name from the fact that several national holidays take place during this period. The holiday week is a major event in the country. For instance, many Japanese offices close for about a week to 10 days during Golden Week. With the exception of schools, most offices in the United States never close for this amount of time, not even during the winter holiday season. So, if you're an American, visiting Japan during Golden Week may be a shock."

"text": "How much do you know about daruma? Historically, there was the man called Daruma-daishi (aka Bhodhidharma), a Buddhist monk who is credited with spreading the practice of Zen Buddhism into China. Then, there are the daruma dolls, paper mache prayer tokens made and distributed throughout Japan for the sake of health, longevity, and success. These limbless dolls have an approximate 400-year history of bringing encouragement and good fortune to the people of Japan. However, in recent years the production and subsequent purchase of daruma has fallen. People are losing track of their daruma dolls, forgetting the purpose for which they serve, or at a loss of where to buy them in the first place. Now, in an effort to bring back appreciation for the humble daruma, the Kagoyaka company in Yamanashi Prefecture is modernizing the traditional doll into something they call the Koshu～Color Daruma. The tradition of keeping daruma dolls as good luck tokens originated in Gunma Prefecture, though the creation and sale of these bearded ornaments has since spread to many regions throughout Japan. Although every region decorates their daruma in a slightly different fashion, the symbolism remains basically the same. The eyebrows of the daruma are painted in the shape of a crane, while the beard mimics the shell of a tortoise–both animals which embody longevity, thus blessing the family who owns the doll with long and healthy lives."

The early chef hats were slightly elevated but not as tall as they eventually became. Marie Antoine Careme (commonly called \"\"Chef of Kings and King of Chefs\"\") is credited as the father of classical french cuisine for the development of mother sauces and standard garniture and classification of terminology used in kitchens. He's also credited with much of the organization and division of labor in kitchens still used today."

The name Campbell seems to come from the Gaelic Cam Beul, which translates as Crooked Mouth. The users of this name are known to have been around as a powerful family even in the time of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, though the earliest Campbell to be found in written records is Gillespie of east-central Scotland, who had lands in this area granted to him in 1263. Products available in the Campbell Clan Ancient tartan range from various weights of wool tartan fabric, tartan cushions, rugs and throws.

"text": "How to Make Japanese-Style Pork and Cabbage Dumplings (Gyoza)The Food Lab Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science. J. Kenji López-Alt Profile Twitter Facebook Contact35 Printer-Friendly Version Gyoza: Crisp on the bottom, tender and garlicky within. [ Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt]Get the Recipe The Best Japanese Pork and Cabbage Dumplings (Gyoza)As far as dumplings go, Japanese-style gyoza are some of the simplest to make, if only for the fact that they are almost always made with store-bought, ready-to-fill wrappers at even the best dumpling joints in Japan. Fresh dough that's rolled with a rolling pin is wonderful for Chinese-style fried dumplings like guo tie, but gyoza demand thinner, stretchier dough that is rolled pasta-style by machine. My mom wasn't the most talented or passionate cook in the world, but to this day her gyoza remain one of my favorite foods of all time. Those beef and vegetable-stuffed crescents with their crisp bottoms and tender-chewy skins were the start of a lifelong obsession that still seems no closer to ending than it did when it first started. I remember sitting with my sisters around my grandmother's low wooden living room table a few times a year for dumpling-wrapping duty. My mom would make a big bowl of filling, set out a few packages of store-bought dumpling wrappers, and put us to task stuffing and folding. We'd eat a few big platefuls of the dumplings that first night, then my mom would freeze the rest, pulling them out over the course of the next couple months until our stock was depleted and our stuffing night was repeated. I didn't cook much—or even have much interest in food—growing up, but dumplings were one thing I got pretty darn good at through the years."

"text": "\"Dress of Roman Catholic Clergy This article describes the forms of dress of the secular clergy of the Roman Catholic Church according to current ecclesiastical law and custom. Purpose As part of the reform following the Second Vatican Council, the Church desired to simplify clerical dress and to foster consistency of external forms by eliminating too much variation and particularity. It has been the expressed hope of the Church that \"\"attention should be paid to what is determined by [liturgical law] and the traditional practice of the Roman Rite and to what serves the common spiritual good of the People of God, rather than private inclination or arbitrary choice\"\". [ 1]Unfortunately, this desired uniformity has not yet been realized. On the contrary, contemporary practices very often differ from what is laid down in the Church's law, and especially from the Church's legitimate custom (the \"\"traditional practice of the Roman Rite\"\" mentioned above). A great amount of misinformation is disseminated, both orally and in writing, so that, since the changes, some errors which have crept into the practice of clerical dress (customs of fact, which have no legal weight without approval when contrary to the law [2]) have been solidified in the minds of a great many ecclesiastics. Part of the reason this problem remains is that few contemporary authors have taken up the subject of clerical dress from an academic perspective. Some who have written on it have replaced legitimate law and custom with their own preferences and opinions, and, to the extent that these works are relied upon, they have only exacerbated the problem. The most notable contemporary work is Noonan's The Church Visible, [3] which has been criticized by many for its biases, its acceptance of any and all contemporary Roman practices, and an overuse of Italian names for items of clerical dress. Noonan's work remains a popular resource, however, largely because there is virtually nothing else available."

"text": "Home Buying Guides Restaurant & Catering Uniforms & Aprons Other Restaurant Uniforms The Best Fabrics for Restaurant Uniformse Bay Like March 3, 2016There are many ways to evaluate a restaurant, and though it may be nice to believe that every person will pay attention only to the food, that is most certainly not the case. Rather, patrons take notice of everything from the availability of parking to the ephemeral idea of ambiance, not to mention all the things in between. The complex evaluation that goes on each time a person enters a restaurant is what makes it essential for restaurateurs to pay close attention to every detail of their business. This includes, of course, keeping the kitchen going, but it also means making sure each member of the staff is wholly presentable, which generally means keeping them in fresh, clean uniforms. Even for those restaurants with a very casual atmosphere, certain uniform elements are the best way to make sure servers are identifiable and the restaurant as a whole seems professional and organized. Choosing the right fabrics for these uniforms is an important first step. Restaurant uniforms come in many different styles and are available for purchase from various specialty retailers as well as online from e Bay. Types of Uniforms The fabric that will be best for a restaurant uniform may not be the same for each position in the restaurant. For instance, the job requirements for back of house employees, such as chefs and line cooks, are quite different from those in front of house, like servers and bartenders. Each position will require a different uniform and each uniform may have different fabric requirements."

"text": "Pleated Filters Are Among The Top Performers In The Heating And Air Conditioning Industry4.8 (96%) 5 votes Pleated air filters are the most popular type of air filter available for your heating and air conditioning equipment and it’s not just by chance. These filters offer a very wide variety of design characteristics and many suppliers are very happy to provide custom replacement sizes to meet almost any need. They are available over a wide range of efficiencies, media types and frame types. Some even have electrostatic characteristics or even help with odor control. They are the industry standard for contractors because of their durability, availability, cost and effectiveness. Why The Pleated Design Is Used There are a couple of very good reasons for the pleated design of these filters and without this design characteristic the filters would be ineffective and unsuitable for use in any heating or air conditioning system. The first reason is the Face Loading characteristic of pleated filters. Dust is trapped on the surface of the filter material instead of throughout the depth of the material as in media type air filters. Because of this face loading characteristic, there is no distribution throughout the depth of the filter material to trap particles and this means the filter material must be very efficient because it is very thin. As efficiency increases, so does the restriction to air flow."

It is a common occupational uniform in the Western world. The double breasted jacket can be reversed to hide stains. The thick cotton cloth protects from the heat of stove and oven and protects from splattering of boiling liquids. Knotted cloth buttons were used to survive frequent washing and contact with hot items. White is intended to signify cleanliness and is generally worn by highly visible head chefs. Aprons shield the wearer's garments from food splatters and stains. The toque is a chef's hat that dates back to the 16th century. ["

It was the first campaign of the new liberalism against the old order of things; the forerunner of a greater revolution in humane thought and practice that was to sweep through the world. During the last quarter of the century it made its way, sometimes violently, sometimes imperceptibly, transforming the political, social, and economic scaffolding of America and Europe. After its passing it could be seen that the design of human society had been altered and that a new one was taking shape. The young nineteenth century was free to launch its hopes and experiments in more enlightened and democratic channels. The war left the freed States exhausted and a little dismayed. The new independence was at once a wonderful and a terrifying thing. There was a growing realization that it entailed more than a mere separation from England; that a national consciousness and a governmental framework were necessary, and that these were not to be achieved without struggle and pain.

It is dark blue with a stand collar and pleats across the chest. But more on that later. Sherlock Holmes (2009) is Guy Ritchie’s re-imagining, re-boot, re-whatever of Arthur Conan Doyle’s renowned fictional detective. It’s greater fun than any of us dared hope for."

"text": "15 Variations of Eggs Benedict At one time, a chef had 100 pleats in his hat to signify the 100 ways he knew how to prepare eggs. Regardless of how many pleats are in your hat, there are endless ways to cook an egg. Eggs help inspire menus from traditional comfort classics to innovative dishes that make a bold culinary statement. Eggs Benedict is a brunch classic. These days, you’re almost sure to find this dish on brunch menus across the country. But it’s also an opportunity for chefs to express their creativity and re-imagine the dish. Like many well-loved recipes, there are conflicting accounts as to the origin of Eggs Benedict. The following story appeared in the December 19, 1942, issue of the weekly New Yorker Magazine: Lemuel Benedict, a retired Wall Street stock broker, claims that he wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894 hoping to find a cure for his hangover. He ordered “buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a pitcher of Hollandaise.” Oscar, the maître d’hôtel, was so impressed with the dish that he put it on the breakfast menu but substituted ham for the bacon and a toasted English muffin for the toast."

"text": "\"Pro Football Hall of Fame The Best Hall of Fame Argument for Every NFL Team Mike Tanier August 7, 2015George Gojkovich/Getty Images The \"\"best\"\" Hall of Fame argument is not always the argument about the best player. Arguments about all-time greats aren't really arguments, just biographies. Great Hall of Fame debates start with players or coaches who haven't achieved legend status: the overlooked old-timers, controversial current players, guys famous for losing Super Bowls, individuals who may have rubbed voters and/or the public the wrong way, and so on. You won't find many Marvin Harrison-level candidates in this slideshow: Harrison is a Hall of Famer; it's just a matter of time before he squeezes through. There are one or two A-plus candidates here, but we're focusing on the B-plus and even the C-plus guys in the name of having really good arguments. Some housecleaning and clarification before we begin. All stats and Pro Bowl/All-Pro listings come from Pro Football Reference. Remember that All-Pros are first-team all-league all-stars while Pro Bowlers could be conference backups: that's a big deal. You'll read a lot about \"\"signature moments\"\" in the upcoming debates. Those are the plays you see when you close your eyes and think of the NFL: Lynn Swann's catches in Super Bowl X, Joe Namath's guarantee, and so on."

Though there are 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL), there are only 31 full-time NFL stadiums because the New York Giants and New York Jets share Met Life Stadium.

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, home of the Los Angeles Rams, is the oldest, having opened in 1923. The NFL uses several other stadiums on a regular basis in addition to the teams' designated regular home sites. In England, Wembley Stadium in London is contracted to host at least two games per season, as part of the NFL International Series which runs through 2020, and Twickenham Stadium, also in London, is scheduled to host at least one game.

"text": "SPORTS 01/02/2015 09:41 am ET Updated Jan 02, 2015Here’s What NFL Players Actually Get Paid During The Playoffs Leon Halip via Getty Images By Joel Corry, National Football Post Players are paid much differently in the playoffs than during the regular season. Most players take a significant pay cut in the playoffs because their salaries have no bearing on what they make in the postseason. Playoff money comes from a league pool instead of from NFL teams. There is a specific amount for each playoff round where each eligible player gets paid the same. Here’s a look at how playoff compensation works for the 2014 league year. Wild Card Round Division Winners: $24,000 Wild Cards: $22,000Divisional Playoff Game: $24,000Conference Championship Game: $44,000Super Bowl Winning Team: $97,000 Losing Team: $49,000Players typically receive their entire salary over the course of the 17-week regular season. For example, Ndamukong Suh made $738,235 per week during the regular season from his $12.55 million base salary. He will receive $24,000 for the Detroit Lions’ Wild Card playoff game, just like third string quarterback Kellen Moore and the rest of his teammates. Wild Card playoff money is less than the weekly pay of a player making the $420,000 first-year player minimum salary ($24,706 per week). Players on teams with Wild Card round byes (Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks) are essentially working for free for the week since they will not receive payment."

The four leagues universally included in the definition are Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL). Other prominent leagues include Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Canadian Football League (CFL). The MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL are commonly referred to as the \"\"Big 4\"\".

In addition, the sports of these four leagues were all developed in their modern forms in North America, and all except American football have become popular internationally. Because the leagues enjoy a significant place in popular culture in the U. S. and Canada, the best players from these leagues often become cultural icons in both countries. Currently, the NFL has 32 teams, the NHL has 31 teams, and the MLB and NBA have 30 each. The vast majority of major league teams are concentrated in the most populous metropolitan areas of the United States and Canada.

Lewis told Stephen A. Smith on ESPN Radio that the Patriots getting the benefit of the infamous rule when Brady appeared to fumble in his first playoff start against the Raiders in January of 2002 is the reason he has a career today. “When we — the first time we created something called a tuck rule, it’s the only reason we know — I’m just being honest — the only reason we know who Tom Brady is, because of a tuck rule,” Lewis said, via CBS Boston. “ There’s no such thing as a tuck rule! If the ball is in your hand, and I knock it out your hand, whether it’s going backwards, forwards, lateral, sideways, however it’s coming out, that’s a freaking fumble! But guess what we created? We created a freaking tuck rule!”Lewis noted that if the Patriots had lost that game to the Raiders, they wouldn’t have made it to the AFC Championship Game that year. “They don’t go to that championship game — they don’t go to that championship game if that tuck rule, if that ball is not called a tuck! That’s a fumble!” Lewis said. “"

"text": "Wes Welker still looking for a place to play in 2015Posted by Josh Alper on June 2, 2015, 10:11 AM EDTGetty Images The last time we had an update on free agent wide receiver Wes Welker, the news was that doctors said everything looked good on cognitive tests taken to assess the impact of three concussions over the last two seasons. That late April word didn’t seem to do much to move the needle for NFL teams, though. Welker said that he wants to play in the 2015 season, but he remains unemployed and hasn’t been linked with any teams over the last month. That hasn’t dimmed his desire to continue his career, however. “At times you’re sitting there and thinking, ‘Well maybe I should [retire].’ I think it’s just people kind of [pressuring you], but the more you think about it, and you’re away from it, I’m not ready to [retire]. I still feel good,” Welker said on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Toucher & Rich show. “ I still feel like I have some really good football left in me. I’ve always said [I’ll play] until the wheels fall off. ”Welker said a return to the Patriots “wouldn’t be the worst situation in the world,” although there’s no sign that the Patriots have any more interest in Welker’s services than the other 31 teams that have left him unsigned this offseason. Between his concussion history, declining production the last two years, age or some combination of those things, there are plenty of reasons why teams have avoided Welker and it may take a negative change of fortunes at wideout for anyone’s mind to change.

That’s why Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks jumped on ETIII in the first round with the No. 14 overall pick. Earl and fellow Big 12 prospect Russell Okung (No. 6 overall) of Oklahoma State were the first two players taken by the newly hired Carroll as he sought to rebuild the Seahawks. ET showed off his outstanding range and athletic ability early in his rookie season and Week 3 of the 2010 season was his first launching point. Earl notched two interceptions, including the game-ending pick in the end zone as the Seahawks dropped the San Diego Chargers 27-20. The picks against the Chargers were two of five INTs notched by ET in his rookie year to go with 76 combined tackles and seven pass deflections. Seattle finished 7-9 in 2010 but won the division and took to the playoffs. In the postseason, the Hawks knocked out the New Orleans Saints in a huge Wild Card round upset, but couldn’t do the same to to the Chicago Bears in the Divisional round."

Enforcing a limit to how much a team can spend on their athletes' salaries has been around at least since the Great Depression, and with the current 2010-2011 NFL season being upcapped, the cap debate goes back and forth more than Brett Favre in the off-season. ( For more, see Who's Cashing In On Pro Sports Revenue?) In most professional sports, teams must adhere to a predetermined amount of money to find good players, which is determined by a somewhat complicated mathematical equation involving how much money the league made in the previous year, ticket sale profits, merchandise sales, television contracts, divided by how many teams there are and something do to with the Mayan calendar. So how has this affected sports over all? For the fans, it's actually not much of a game-changer. IN PICTURES: Money Can't Buy Happiness, But What About Championships? Highway Robbery, Minus the Highway Anyone who's ever attended a professional sports game has probably felt like they paid a lot for their ticket.

One thing is clear, many of the NFL's top stars are unsure about the Pro Bowl being shipped to the mainland. \"\" I just think you take away from everything the Pro Bowl means,\"\" Lewis said Tuesday. \"\" I don't understand it all. \"\" The Baltimore Ravens linebacker, who played college football at the University of Miami, said he would \"\"probably not\"\" play next year's game if selected.

Every year, Major League Baseball announces how much the World Series winners get in bonus money for the postseason. This past year, the San Francisco Giants, who beat the Rangers, made $317,631, assuming a player was awarded a full share. How does that compare to what an NFL player makes? And how much do they get paid in the playoffs versus what they make for the regular season? NFL players, who win the championship, actually make more if you factor it out on a per game basis than baseball players did this year. Let’s take a Jets or Packers player for example, who each played an extra game because they played in the Wildcard. They made $19,000 each for the Wildcard game, $21,000 each for winning the Divisional Playoff Game and are guaranteed $38,000 for the Title Game. Should they win the Super Bowl, they’d make $83,000 (losers make $42,000)."

Communicating in Words Sign Language Rethinking the Role of Broca’s Area in Language A large proportion of the studies done on the brain’s language functions since the 19th century have involved establishing correlations between a particular language deficit and the locations of lesions in the brains of autopsy subjects. But a single lesion can sometimes cause damage to several brain structures at once, which makes interpreting such findings difficult. Modern brain imaging techniques have made it possible to study the activation of the brain areas associated with language in healthy subjects while they perform specified language activities. These studies have confirmed the importance of Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas for language while also identifying them as part of a wider network of interconnected areas of the brain that contribute to language. This concept has now replaced the historical notion of language “ centres”. In bilingual people, the earlier in life the second language was acquired, the more similar the areas of the brain involved in understanding and producing the two languages. In contrast, brain-imaging studies have shown that when people learn a second language later in life, the areas of the cortex involved in understanding the two languages are not always the same. Interestingly, when bilingual people lose the use of one of their languages as the result of a brain injury, the language that they retain is not always necessarily their mother tongue. Indeed, bilingualism is a complex phenomenon, and much about its functional bases remains unknown."

The neurons in your cerebral cortex were firing in the pattern of butt wiping for the first time. Every time you wiped your butt afterward, the neurons practice.

The temporal lobe is located beneath the upper areas of the brain, right by the ears. It's very important in controlling how you process sights and sounds and use language. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Facts Researchers speculate that the temporal lobe has several functions, including regulating hearing, processing visual inputs, making sense of verbal material such as speaking and reading, and storing long-term memories, according to the Centre for Neuro Skills. The temporal lobe also contributes to your personality and is important in your sexual functioning. In addition, your language functions are directed by the temporal lobe. Even understanding music and appreciating art, which are non-verbal communications, starts in the temporal lobe. Right Brain vs. Left Brain As with most regions of the brain, the temporal lobe is also divided into right brain-left brain functions. The right temporal lobe controls the left side of the body, and the left temporal lobe controls the right side of the body, according to Merck.

Scientists primarily determine where brain functions are localized and lateralized through a method called \"\"experimental ablation\"\" in which parts of the brain are selectively damaged; when a function is hampered by damage to a specific area of the brain, it becomes evident that the function in question is performed by that area. This practice is highly unethical in human subjects, so neuroscientists must rely on clinical studies of people who already have brain damage to determine the localization and lateralization of brain function."

"text": "RESPONSES OF LATERAL GENICULATE CELLS The fibers corning to the brain from each eye pass uninterrupted through the optic chiasm (from chi, X, the Greek letter whose shape is a cross). There, about half the fibers cross to the side of the brain opposite the eye of origin, and half stay on the same side. From the chiasm the fibers continue to several destinations in the brain. Some go to structures that have to do with such specific functions as eye movements and the pupillary light reflex, but most terminate in the two lateral geniculate bodies. Compared with the cerebral cortex or with many other parts of the brain, the lateral geniculates are simple structures: all or almost all of the roughly one and one half million cells in each geniculate nucleus receive input directly from optic-nerve fibers, and most (not all) of the cells send axons on to the cerebral cortex. In this sense, the lateral geniculate bodies contain only one synaptic stage, but it would be a mistake to think of them as mere relay stations. They receive fibers not only from the optic nerves but also back from the cerebral cortex, to which they project, and from the brainstem reticular formation, which plays some role in attention or arousal. Some geniculate cells with axons less than a millimeter long do not leave the geniculate but synapse locally on other geniculate cells. Despite these complicating features, single cells in the geniculate respond to light in much the same way as retinal ganglion cells, with similar on-center and off-center receptive fields and similar responses to color. In terms of visual information, then, the lateral geniculate bodies do not seem to be exerting any profound transformation, and we simply don't yet know what to make of the nonvisual inputs and the local synaptic interconnections."

Let's dig in a little more... What Are Mu Waves? The first paragraph on Mu waves in Wikipedia seems decent enough. As it says, Mu Waves are a type of oscillating electrical rhythm within the brain that can be seen in an EEG.

Explain the structure of the cerebral cortex (its hemispheres and lobes) and the function of each area of the cortex. Define the concepts of brain plasticity, neurogenesis, and brain lateralization. If you were someone who understood brain anatomy and were to look at the brain of an animal that you had never seen before, you would nevertheless be able to deduce the likely capacities of the animal. This is because the brains of all animals are very similar in overall form. In each animal the brain is layered, and the basic structures of the brain are similar (see Figure 3.6 \"\"The Major Structures in the Human Brain\"\" ).

If you were someone who understood brain anatomy and were to look at the brain of an animal that you had never seen before, you would nevertheless be able to deduce the likely capacities of the animal. This is because the brains of all animals are very similar in overall form. In each animal the brain is layered, and the basic structures of the brain are similar (see Figure 3.6 “The Major Structures in the Human Brain” ). The innermost structures of the brain—the parts nearest the spinal cord—are the oldest part of the brain, and these areas carry out the same the functions they did for our distant ancestors.

Some problems that happen after stroke are more common with stroke on one side of the brain than the other. The left side of the brain controls the ability to speak and understand language in most people. The right side of the brain controls the ability to pay attention, recognize things you see, hear or touch, and be aware of your own body. In some left-handed people, language is controlled by the right side of the brain and awareness by the left side of the brain.

"text": "\"Asia Russia Guide The Origin of the Matryoshka, Russian Nesting Dolls Nesting Dolls -- in Their Native Russian By Kerry Kubilius Updated 07/28/17Share Pin Email•••A matryoshka (plural: matryoshki) is a Russian nesting doll, and they are often simply called nesting dolls. It's pronounced mah-tree-YOSH-kah. These dolls open to reveal increasingly smaller versions of the same doll, one within another. The dolls can be pulled apart in the middle to reveal the next smallest doll, with the smallest doll being made of a solid piece of wood. Nesting dolls are often used as symbols of Russian culture, but matryoshka dolls have their origins in similar dolls made in Japan. Etymology of Matryoshka If you suspect that the meaning of \"\"Matryoshka\"\" has a connection to the Russian word for \"\"mother,\"\" you would be right. The Russian word for mother, мать (and another form of \"\"mother\"\" -- матушка) sounds like the Russian name Matriosha, which has a warm, motherly sound and might be connected to the Latin word \"\"mater,\"\" or mother. It is believed that matryoshka derives from this female name, which was common when the dolls first gained their popularity. When you examine matryoshka dolls, they often seem like a happy family, with the mother or grandmother being represented by the largest dolls and the smaller dolls representing daughters or generations of younger women of the same family. About the Dolls Matryoshka dolls are popular and iconic Russian souvenirs."

See Example ( s )EXAMPLES [Collected via e-mail, January 2009] The kids that I baby-sit were sitting around the table today saying that Barney, the purple dinosaur from Barney and Friends was busted with cocaine in his tail. [ Collected on the Internet, December 2008] My children report someone found drugs in Barney the Dinosaur’s tail. He was trying to give them to children on the show. [ Collected on the Internet, February 2006] Several people I know were saying that the actor who played Barney on the children’s TV show “Barney and Friends” was fired because he swore at a young boy who stepped on his tail. RATINGFalse ORIGINBarney, the purple dinosaur from television’s Barney & Friends, has been on the air since 1992, hosting a show which uses song and dance to teach preschool tots in an environment of warmth and caring. Barney’s is a loveable persona, and the children he interacts with as part of the show happily sing and dance along with him, looking upon him as a much-admired friend. Two common rumors about Barney (police uncovered a cache of illegal drugs secreted in the rotund dinosaur’s tail, or the endlessly loving and patient children’s host roundly cussed out a hapless tyke) strike at the heart of Barney’s appeal to the smaller set. It’s not the funny costume or the songs that make the show a success; it’s the friendliness and constant optimism of the show’s purple host. The rumors’ presentation of Barney as a nefarious character who deals drugs or secretly hates children runs contrary to his steadfast image of wholesomeness and trustworthiness."

The premise of any such discussions would have to be that Bashar al-Assad’s agreement–to anything!–would have some significance. But only a fool, or a government playing us all for fools, could accept such a proposition, in the face of the absolutely overwhelming evidence to the contrary that has accrued. Does this man–the Envoy–have no shame? Thousands and thousands of people have died because of the illusions he has fed to the U. N. Security Council and to the world, and the false hopes he has raised, helping Russia to block any effective Security Council action to halt the killing in Syria, or any effective action outside the framework of the Security Council itself that might halt the killing."

"text": "What Is Astrology? The word “ Astrology ” comes from the Greek astrologia, from astrologos, astronomer (astro- star + -logos treating of, from legian speak of) referring to the study of heavenly bodies. Astrology studies the essential connection between the motions of stellar bodies and life on earth. The significance of this relationship between the Celestial Sphere and life on earth is predicated upon the fundamental notion of the ‘Doctrine of Signatures. ’Astrology is one of the oldest systems of knowledge and understanding in the world. People have always looked up to the heavens to try to understand life on Earth and today’s world is no exception. There are many types of Astrology that are taught around the world and many Astrologers can’t seem to agree between themselves as to what is the “right” way to read a chart. Although, at core, astrology has always been a theory of correspondence between planets and human affairs since its inception, the term “astrology” is nebulous, vague, and connotative of a loose federation of related areas rather than designating a precise field of study. Astrology holds the distinction of being both a superficial, inconsequential diversion and novelty that, as critics rightly claim, indulges human fears and irresponsibility while simultaneously being the province of highly sensitive intellectual intuitives who prize the subject as the “philosopher’s stone,” the “elixir of knowledge” and the “holy grail” of wisdom. “Astrology” exists on a continuum."

An extremely wealthy Russian industrialist named Sergei Shchukin asked Matisse for three large scale canvases to decorate the spiral staircase of his mansion, the Trubetskoy Palace, in Moscow. The large and well loved painting, Dance I at Mo MA, is somewhat disingenously titled. Although it is full scale and in oil, Matisse did not consider it more than a preparatory sketch. Yet a comparison between the initial and final versions is instructive. Matisse borrowed the motif from the back of the 1905-06 painting Bonheur de Vivre, although he has removed one dancer.

When a person died their individual journey did not end but was merely translated from the earthly plane to the eternal. The soul stood in judgement in the Hall of Truth before the great god Osiris and the Forty-Two Judges and, in the weighing of the heart, if one's life on earth was found worthy, that soul passed on to the paradise of the Field of Reeds. The soul was rowed with others who had also been justified across Lily Lake (also known as The Lake of Flowers) to a land where one regained all which had been thought lost. There one would find one's home, just as one had left it, and any loved ones who had passed on earlier. Every detail one enjoyed during one's earthly travel, right down to one's favorite tree or most loved pet, would greet the soul upon arrival. There was food and beer, gatherings with friends and family, and one could pursue whatever hobbies one had enjoyed in life. Work in the Afterlife In keeping with this concept of the mirror-image, there was also work in the afterlife.

Typically painted to look like a traditional Russian woman or \"\"babushka,\"\" these wooden stackable dolls are a very popular Russian souvenir and over time have even become a symbol of the Eastern European country itself. Learn facts about the Matryoshka stacking dolls' meaning and history. What is a Russian Matryoshka doll? A Matryoshka nesting doll is a set of typically seven wooden dolls of decreasing sizes that all fit inside of each other, one by one. Each stacking doll splits in half at the mid section and opens to reveal another smaller doll nested within. The traditional Matryoshka doll is usually round in shape and decoratively painted to resemble a pretty young faced peasant woman dressed or bundled up in an extravagant sarafan costume, a loose fitting traditional Russian garment. The head of the stacking doll is usually also covered, perhaps to protect her from the cold weather characteristic of Russia's notoriously harsh, long winters. Matryoshka Carved Wooden Stacking Dolls History & Origins In 1890, the first Matryoshka doll was designed and painted by Sergey Malyutin and carved from wood by Vasily Zvyozdochkin. Malyutin and Zvyozdochkin were both Russian folk artists living under the patronage of the wealthy industrialist Savva Mamontov on the renowned Abramtsevo estate."

"text": "Russian By Irene Thompson | Updated May 28, 2015 by Irene ThompsonДoбpo пoжaлoвaть – Welcome Russian (pусский язык) belongs to the East Slavic group of the Slavic branch of the Indo-European language family. It is the largest of the Slavic languages. Its closest relatives are Belarusian and Ukrainian. Russian is primarily spoken in the Russian Federation and by older people in the other countries that were once part of the Soviet Union, as well as in Eastern Europe. According to the 2010 census, there were 137 million speakers of Russian in the Russian Federation, and 166 million worldwide ( Ethnologue ). In addition, Russian is spoken in Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, and the U. S. It is one of the world’s ten most spoken languages. Prior to the 14th century, ancestors of the modern Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians spoke varieties of Old East Slavic, a language that was common to all three. Linguists think that it split into what are now Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian at the end of the 14th century. Until the end of the 17th century, the official language in Russia was an East Slavic version of Church Slavonic, the liturgical language of the Russian Orthodox Church. The political reforms of Peter the Great in the 18th century included a reform of the Russian alphabet and westernization of the language through numerous borrowings from Western European languages."

By ELISABETH ROSENTHALPublished: May 18, 2013Facebook Twitter Google+Save Email Share Print Reprints IN my New York City apartment, the kitchen drawers, the coat closet, even the wine rack are overflowing with a type of waste that is rapidly disappearing elsewhere — the used plastic shopping bag. Enlarge This Image David Goldman for The New York Times Multimedia Graphic Few State Laws Restrict Plastic Bags Many countries and a handful of American cities have more or less done away with this supposed convenience item, by discouraging its use through plastic-bag taxes at checkout counters or outright bans. Walk down the streets of Dublin or Seattle or San Francisco and there is barely a bag in sight. Life continues. “It didn’t take people very long to accommodate at all,” said Dick Lilly, manager for waste prevention in Seattle, where a plastic-bag ban took effect last summer. “ Basically overnight those grocery and drugstore bags were gone. ”But in much of America we seem more addicted than ever. On a recent shopping trip to Target in Chicago for some dorm supplies while visiting my son, I emerged with what seemed to be more bags than socks or rolls of toilet paper (only a slight exaggeration). At my local supermarket, plastic bags are applied layer upon layer around purchases, like Russian nesting dolls."

"text": "Education Science Biology How Biologists Classify Life How Biologists Classify Life Related Book Biology Workbook For Dummies By Rene Fester Kratz The figure here represents biologists’ current understanding of the tree of life — the phylogenetic tree that shows relationships among all organisms on Earth. Each of the main branches on the family tree represents a unique type of life on Earth, which biologists place into categories they call domains. Within each domain, biologists create smaller categories that represent groups of related organisms. The categories that biologists use for grouping related organisms are called taxa (singular: taxon ). Biologists organize all these categories into a taxonomic hierarchy, a naming system that ranks organisms by their evolutionary relationships. Within this hierarchy, living things are organized from the largest, most-inclusive group (domains) down to the smallest, least-inclusive group (called species ). From largest to smallest groups, the taxonomic hierarchy is Domain: Domains group organisms by fundamental characteristics like cell structure and chemistry. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Kingdom: Kingdoms classify organisms based on developmental characteristics and nutritional strategy. The most familiar kingdoms are those in domain Eukarya: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista. ("

Salvation Army “Doughnut Girls” served along the front lines during WWI and WWII, giving soldiers free coffee and doughnuts. National Donut Day was started in 1938 in Chicago to honor of The Salvation Army “Doughnut Girls.” This unofficial holiday is celebrated the first Friday in June. In 1917, The Salvation Army began a mission to provide spiritual and emotional support for U. S. soldiers fighting in France during World War I. About 250 volunteers traveled overseas and set up small huts located near the front lines where they could give soldiers clothes, supplies and, of course, baked goods. After discovering that serving baked goods would be difficult considering the conditions of the huts and the limited rations, two volunteers – Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance – began frying donuts in soldiers’ helmets. These tasty treats boosted morale and won the hearts of many soldiers. Nicknamed “Donut Lassies,” the women who served donuts to troops are often credited with popularizing the donut in the United States when the troops (nicknamed “doughboys”) returned home from war. During World War I, Donut Lassies served coffee and donuts to soldiers in the trenches. Rations were poor so the donut idea was conceived as a means of bringing the soldiers cheer."

The organisation reports a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million, [2] consisting of soldiers, officers and adherents collectively known as Salvationists. Its founders Catherine and William Booth sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their \"\"physical and spiritual needs\"\". It is present in 128 countries, [3] running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless and disaster relief and humanitarian aid to developing countries. The theology of the Salvation Army is derived from that of Methodism, although it is distinctive in institution and practice. It does not celebrate the divine command of Baptism and Holy Communion. The Army's doctrine is typical of evangelical Protestant churches. The Army's purposes are \"\"the advancement of the Christian religion ... of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole\"\". [ 4]The Army was founded in 1865 in London by one-time Methodist circuit -preacher William Booth and his wife Catherine as the East London Christian Mission. In 1878 Booth reorganised the mission, becoming its first General and introducing the military structure which has been retained to the present day. ["

"text": "By: Tim Henry, Director of Planned Giving The nation slowly continues the long road of recovery from the “The Great Recession”, or the other assorted names it has been known in news headlines, but average Americans care little of the names used by the media they care about the impact the downturn has taken on the financial security their families. As the country starts this economic recovery, one of the main areas of damage the average American is trying to repair is the damage done to their retirement plans. However, uncertainty in the stock markets and low return on investment offered by investment vehicles like, five year certificates of deposits and 10 year Treasurys, both of which currently have rates of return around 2% annual percentage yield, have left many looking for a suitable alternative to traditional investment opportunities. One such alternative option is a Charitable Gift Annuity, while not an investment but a gift, it can be used to provide a measure of income security during one’s lifetime and leave a charitable legacy. A Charitable Gift Annuity as the name suggests is a combination of an outright charitable gift and the purchase of a fixed income annuity contract. The terms of the annuity can be set to either provide immediate payment of income to the donor or defer payment of income for a period of time, for when a donor expects he or she will need additional income, such as during retirement. Another, important factor to understand about a charitable gift annuity is that in order to qualify as a gift the rate offered by the charity must be lower than the rates offered by commercial insurance annuities. However, when compared to the rates of return of some commercial investment opportunities, charitable gift annuities provide attractive rates, as well as providing the donor the opportunity to donate to a cause in which they believe. To paraphrase St. Paul’s sermon, “‘tis better to give than to receive,” and by making a gift though a charitable gift annuity you can both give and receive. While calculating gift annuity rates is individualized to each donor, standardized rates based on age are set by the American Council on Gift Annuities, currently those rates provide a higher (4.7% for a person age 65, 6.8% for a person age 80) annual percentage yield rate than the 2 percent presently received by investing in certificates of deposit and Treasurys."

In some jurisdictions, prisoners are paroled to the direct custody of The Salvation Army. Services include Bible correspondence courses, prerelease job-training programs, employment opportunities in cooperation with parole personnel, material aid, and spiritual guidance to both prisoners and their families. Many Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Centers and Harbor Light Centers have served as designated halfway houses where former prisoners can participate in work-release programs. Those convicted of minor offenses often are given the opportunity to accept placement in community service programs at corps community centers and institutions as an alternative to incarceration, or in the last months of their sentences. In addition, Salvation Army officers and volunteers lead worship services in jails and prisons. A national Salvation Army Correctional Services Sunday is observed."

Philippians 3:18-19, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. ”The Reason Why You Shouldn't Give Money to Big Charities I am disgusted with America's charities, who pay their executives 6-digit salaries. Children International asks for donations of $22 per child to provide food, medical, education and other needs. Yet, their CEO was paid $347,381 in 2007! It is appalling to me that an organization that stresses how far a mere $22 will go per month, pays their CEO $347,381 a year! That's just plain wrong in my opinion. Anything can be justified, but that doesn't necessarily make it proper or ethical. The Salvation Army isn't quite as bad, they only paid their CEO $175,050 in 2004. No doubt, they have all kinds of excuses to justify such outrageous salaries; but no one needs that kind of salary, and it is certainly unbecoming of a so-called “charitable organization.”"

Sure, you’d like to give to all, but you have bills to pay and miles to go before you stop shopping for family necessities that you can barely afford. What do you do? We offer the following thoughts as a means of answering the question. A famous family story tells of the time my father, far from fresh from the exhausting and bone-crushing action of the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge, went into a Red Cross station in Paris and asked for a donut. The tart woman behind the counter insisted on five cents for the treat. My dad didn’t have five cents on him. They wouldn’t give him the donut."

"text": "Home / About Us / History History The Salvation Army began in 1865 when William Booth, a London minister, gave up the comfort of his pulpit and decided to take his message into the streets where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute. His original aim was to send converts to established churches of the day, but soon he realized that the poor did not feel comfortable or welcome in the pews of most of the churches and chapels of Victorian England. Regular churchgoers were appalled when these shabbily dressed, unwashed people came to join them in worship. Booth decided to found a church especially for them - the East London Christian Mission. The mission grew slowly, but Booth's faith in God remained undiminished. In May 1878, Booth summoned his son, Bramwell, and his good friend George Railton to read a proof of the Christian Mission's annual report. At the top it read: THE CHRISTIAN MISSION is A VOLUNTEER ARMY. Bramwell strongly objected to this wording. He was not a volunteer: he was compelled to do God's work. So, in a flash of inspiration, Booth crossed out 'Volunteer' and wrote 'Salvation'."

Credit: John Burdumy Moment Getty Images Full Answer The initial design of the United States flag included one stripe and one star for each state in the Union. There were 13 states in 1776. In 1795, the admission of Vermont and Kentucky required an updated design, and for a time, the American flag bore 15 stars and 15 stripes.

During both events, Americans also remember their loyalty to the nation, reaffirm their belief in liberty and justice, and observe the nation’s unity. Many people in the United States honor this day by displaying the American flag at homes and public buildings. Other popular ways of observing this holiday include: flag-raising ceremonies; Flag Day services; school quizzes and essay competitions about the American flag; musical salutes; street parades; and awards for special recognition.

"text": "\"Expert Answersjdkotliar | Certified Educator It has been said that the colors of the American flag were chosen in likeness to those of the French: The red is the blood shed for liberty, the white for equality, and blue for fraternity/brotherhood. Knowing that Thomas Paine and others spoke with philosophers such as Voltaire and that Benjamin Franklin spent a good amount of time in France--there are yet descendents of his there--one is led to believe in this similarity. I have to disagree with you on the Amercan colors being chosen in likeness to the French, because at the time the American flag was designed, the French flag was still the royal Fleur de lis of the bourbons rather than the tri-color. The colors connect with the colors of the British Union Jack (the 18th century version, not the version used today which is post 1800). The Britsh crosses of this older Union Jack represented England, Wales and Scotland, with Ireland being added later. The colors for the English flag have the following heraldic meanings: White: Peace and Honesty Red: Bravery, Strength and Valor Blue: Vigilance, Loyalty and Justicelist Citelink Linkwhoa-nelly | Certified Educator My answer to this question is that the American Flag is a SYMBOL that reflects the many attributes that makes up the United States.

"text": "Confederate Flag Meaning The Confederate flag was used by some Confederate Army Units especially from the South. It was also known as the 'Rebel' or 'Dixie' flag which was more often than not confused and misinterpreted with the first National flag called as the 'Stars and Bars', though ironically the Stars and Bars has a completely different design as compared to the rectangular Confederate flag. The Confederate flag meaning has been a taboo for generations the USA, as many believe it represents 'White Supremacy', pro racism, slavery and hatred. Let us unravel the true meaning of the confederate flag and its mysteries. Confederate Flag History In order to know the actual Confederate flag meaning, it is necessary to understand why the Confederates needed to create a separate group. It all began with the presidential elections of 1860 when Abraham Lincoln and his Republican party campaigned for slavery to be curtailed and desist its expansion beyond the states in which slavery already existed. When the Republicans won the elections that year, 7 Southern states declared their rebellion against the anti slavery campaign. Colombia was the first state to declare it non-conformation against the anti slavery campaign, though this act was a combination of rebellion against the Northern stated from trying to enforce their overall political dominance upon the Southern states in general. They seceded before Abraham Lincoln took up the presidential office on March 4, 1861, this led to both the new president as well as the ex president James Buchanan to declare the act of the Southern states as violative of the US constitution and therefore illegal. The concept of the confederate flag symbolism as depicted on the first Confederate flag (1862-1863) was to show the secession of the 11 Southern states from the Union and its declaration of unity to the Confederate."

Here are all the reasons behind using Red, White, and Blue. The American Flag is symbolic in many ways. The alternating red and whites stripes represent the 13 British colonies that settled in America, while the stars represent each individual state. But what about the colors – why is the American Flag red, white and blue? Various historians have their thoughts on what the colors of the American Flag stand for. Some would argue that the colors on the American Flag represent philosophical values, with red representing blood, war and courage, blue standing for justice and freedom, and white representing purity. However, others speculate even further that George Washington had his own interpretation of Old Glory and her colors: stars were taken from the sky, the red was inspired by the British colors, and the white stripes indicate secession from the home country. However, in regards to the Great Seal of the United States, as the book “Our Flag” published in 1989 by the House of Representatives states, “The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”"

For almost a full year after that first Independence Day, the flag of the new nation still bore the Union Jack among its red and white stripes. All of that changed on June 14, 1777 when the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution establishing a new design. The name of the \"\"United Colonies\"\" having been changed in September of the previous year, the resolution read:\"\"Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation. \"\" THE SYMBOLISM OF COLORIronically, the symbolism of the three colors found in the United States flag is set forth, not in the various resolutions authorizing the flag, but in a report Secretary of the Congress Charles Thompson wrote to define the Seal of our Nation. In that report he stated:\"\"The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes on the shield of the eagle) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; WHITE signifies purity and innocence, RED, hardiness & valour, and BLUE, the color of the Chief*, signifies vigilance, perseverance & Justice.\"\" (* The Chief is the blue band at the top of the shield. ) If you were with us in the Birth of A Nation exhibit, you remember how we learned that the leaders of the American revolution felt that their actions were somehow predestined by some higher power, that they not only had the right to declare independence from England but a destiny to do so. This thinking led them to represent the 13 colonies by inserting stars in the field of blue, one star for each of the colonies. They considered the union of these 13 individual \"\"states\"\" somewhat like a constellation in the heavens...several different stars arranged together to create a picture in the universe."

Perhaps more than anything else, recent debates about “the Confederate flag” demonstrate that the public completely misunderstands historic Confederate flags and how they were used. The first flag widely associated with the Confederacy, the Bonnie Blue flag, was never a national flag at all, but was flown in support of secession, particularlyin Louisiana and Texas. One large white star on a field of blue, the flag was designed to symbolize secession as one state star being plucked from the blue field of the U. S. flag. Title: The Bonnie Blug Flag The first Confederate national flag, unrecognized by most Southerners today, is correctly known as the Stars and Bars. Adopted by the Provisional Congress in March 1861, the flag was designed to reflect the U. S. flag. Title: The 1st Confederate National Flag Instead of 13 stripes, the Stars and Bars incorporated two red and one white bar, along with a blue field containing one star for each Confederate state. Smith's design refutes the notion that the Confederacy left the United States with malice, because the Confederate first national flag and national constitution both were patterned on those of the United States. Unfortunately, the Stars and Bars created great confusion on the battlefield, because among the smoke and chaos, it looked like the Stars and Stripes."

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

S. congressman from South Carolina, the committee considered various designs for a national flag and weighed the advantages of modeling the banner after the Stars and Stripes of the United States. Some thought such a move would be good politics. \"\" Although I have not much more veneration than you for the stars & stripes, there are many who have, whose feelings, or fancies have a right to be respected,\"\" one Southerner wrote to Miles. The chairman disagreed and argued that the United States flag represented \"\"tyranny. \"\" View Slideshow Even in the superheated political atmosphere of secession, Miles's view was not in the majority, and on March 4 the Confederacy adopted its first national flag. ( It was a symbolic date on which to unveil a new national symbol: March 4 was the day of U. S. president Abraham Lincoln 's inauguration.) The first national, which came to be known as the Stars and Bars, was rectangular with three horizontal bars alternating red, white, and red. In the upper left was a portion of blue and a circle of white stars representing each Confederate state—at first seven, then eleven, and finally thirteen (the last two were a gesture to the secessionist factions of Missouri and Kentucky). A few weeks later, on April 30, the Virginia Convention of 1861 adopted a new state flag modeled on a different Confederate symbol: the Bonnie Blue Flag."

There were present three times that many enrolled Confederates; but two thirds of them were so enfeebled by hunger, so wasted by sickness, and so foot-sore from constant marching that it was difficult for them to keep up with the army. They were wholly unfit for duty. It is important to note this fact as explaining the great difference in the number of those who fought and those who were to be fed. At the final meeting between General Lee and General Grant rations were ordered by General Grant for 25,000 Confederates. Marked consideration and courtesy were exhibited at Appomattox by the victorious Federals, from the commanding generals to the privates in the ranks. General Meade, who had known General Lee in the old army, paid, after the surrender, an unofficial visit to the Confederate chieftain. After cordial salutations, General Lee said playfully to his former comrade in arms that years were telling upon him. General Meade, who had fought Lee at Gettysburg and in many subsequent battles, made the strikingly gracious and magnanimous answer: \"\"Not years, but General Lee himself has made me gray.\"\""

With the formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861, one of the first orders of business was to create a flag for the new nation. The Committee on the Flag and Seal was formed, and given this task. There were basically two schools of thought in creating the flag. One was to create something that looked very similar to the existing United States flag. The second school of thought was to create a flag very different than the existing United States flag. At the time, there was still feelings of allegiance to the original US flag, and popular opinion was lining up in support of a flag that was similar to the familiar United States flag.

The current official U. S. flag is a 50 star flag, born of the need for a more practical design to accommodate new states entering the union. On April 4, 1818, Congress established the number of stripes at seven red and six white, and provided the addition of one star for each new state. The thirteen stripes represent the original 13 colonies. The 50 star flag has been in use since July 4, 1960 when Hawaii officially joined the union. In the first years of the Revolutionary War, America fought under many flags. One of these flags, called the Grand Union, flew over George Washington's headquarters near Boston. It was the first American flag to be officially recognized by another country. On November 16, 1776, the American warship, Andrew Doria, saluted a Dutch fort in the West Indies and was saluted in return.

It's important to remember a few things. Lincoln thought the Confederate States had a right to secede from the Union. And he thought the actions he took to keep the Union together were probably unconstitutional, but this was outweighed by the greater good. The point being that these ideas were not unique to Southerners. They were moderate Republican views in the North. Also, Lincoln was terrified of how the expanded powers of the federal government he was creating would be used in the future. And it turns out he was right to be, although he probably didn't expect to have his fears confirmed so soon. The Civil War was terrible."

S FLAG HISTORYHistory of the United States Flag Welcome to the area of our Web site where we will give you a brief history of the United States flag, as well as many other flags used throughout the history of this great country. The current official U. S. flag is a 50 star flag, born of the need for a more practical design to accommodate new states entering the union. On April 4, 1818, Congress established the number of stripes at seven red and six white, and provided the addition of one star for each new state. The thirteen stripes represent the original 13 colonies. The 50 star flag has been in use since July 4, 1960 when Hawaii officially joined the union. In the first years of the Revolutionary War, America fought under many flags. One of these flags, called the Grand Union, flew over George Washington's headquarters near Boston. It was the first American flag to be officially recognized by another country. On November 16, 1776, the American warship, Andrew Doria, saluted a Dutch fort in the West Indies and was saluted in return. This brought a measure of international recognition to the United Colonies."

"text": "\"Home | Fast Features Tags: Confederate Flag | confederate flag | design | history Design of the Confederate Flag By Zach Ewell | Thursday, 30 July 2015 01:25 PMEmail Article | Contact | Print | A ATweet The ethics, meaning, and history behind the Confederate flag with its distinctive blue-and-red design, have sparked a massive debate in America. All around the country, Americans are demanding the Southern Cross be taken down from public and government facilities, while others stand up for the flag's use as a part of Southern history. When it comes to the history and symbols embedded in the Confederate flag, the flag’s design is just as confusing and controversial as the moral debate circulating around the Southern Cross itself. Vote Now: Should the Confederate Flag Be Removed From All Government Buildings? The Confederacy had several flags designed, and the Southern Cross was not one of the ones selected as a Confederate flag, according to The Civil War website. The flag that would be the first Confederate flag was called the \"\"Stars and Bars\"\" flag, and it looked remarkably like the U. S. flag, although instead of stripes it had three wide bars, two red and one white. It boasted stars to represent the Confederate states; the first design featured seven stars. Eventually, as more states joined the Confederacy, the flag would bear the 11 stars plus two stars representing Missouri and Kentucky, which joined the Confederacy, but never official left the United States. The flag causing the controversy today was designed by William Porcher Miles, a politician of the time, and it originally had 13 stars to represent the slave states, TCW said. It also featured the blue cross that had its roots in the St. George’s Cross."

Standing at the center are Stonewall Jackson, P. G. T. Beauregard, and Robert E. Lee, surrounded by bust portraits of Jefferson Davis and Confederate Army officers. There were several flags of the Confederate States of America used during its existence from 1861 to 1865. Since the end of the American Civil War, personal and official use of Confederate flags, and of flags derived from these, has continued under some controversy. The state flags of Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee are all based on Confederate flags. The flag of North Carolina is based on the state's 1861 flag which dates back to the Confederacy and appears to be based on the first Confederate flag. The flag of Alabama and perhaps the flag of Florida also seem to be of Confederate inspiration to some, but is really derived from Saint Patrick's Flag of Ireland.

"text": "\"How the Flag Came to be Called Old Glory New research may settle a family feud over the origins of an American icon (Hugh Talman / NMAH, SI)By Sally Jenkins Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe October 2013A tale of fidelity, family feud and argument over ownership is the subject of a new inquiry by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Old Glory, the weather-beaten 17- by 10-foot banner that has long been a primary NMAH artifact, is second only to Francis Scott Key’s Star-Spangled Banner as a patriotic symbol, and is the source of the term now applied generically to all American flags. “ It represents success, righteousness, sovereignty,” says museum director John Gray, but also a conflict that is still “deeply contested in our souls. ”During the Civil War, no flag became a more popular symbol of Union loyalty than the worn and imperiled standard belonging to 19th-century sea captain William Driver, who was originally from Salem, Massachusetts. His defiant flying of it—from his Nashville, Tennessee, household during the midst of the conflict— made national news. Civil War-era citizens felt so passionately about flags that after the surrender of Fort Sumter, the garrison ensign toured the country for the duration of the war. The poet and hospital attendant Walt Whitman lamented the amount of blood spent to retain a simple, four-cornered regimental rag. “ I have a little flag.... It was taken by the Secesh [secessionists] in a cavalry fight, and rescued by our men in a bloody little skirmish,” Whitman wrote. “ It cost three men’s lives, just to get one little flag, four by three. ”The flag was originally designed to unfurl grandly from a ship’s mast."

"text": "The Confederate battle flag, a controversial symbol that was condemned this week by much of the political spectrum, was born a few miles outside Washington during the first major land battle of the Civil War. [ Use of Confederate flag nears an end]A simple roadside marker in Fairfax City describes how “amid the smoke of combat” during the First Battle of Manassas in 1861, Confederate soldiers had trouble distinguishing which troops were carrying the American flag and which were hoisting what was then the flag of the rebellious Southern states. That’s because the first Confederate flag resembled Betsy Ross’s Colonial-era flag, with red and white stripes aligned next to a ring of white stars on a blue field. Near what is now Main and Oak streets in Fairfax City, Confederate Gens. Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard and William L. Cabell approved the design for a new flag: square and red, with diagonally crossed blue bars and stars — the Confederate battle flag.0:00Copy The Confederate flag on display, from 1938 to today View Photos Public moments featuring the Confederate flag. “There was a lot of confusion” during the early part of the Civil War, said Michael Shumaker, a retired U. S. Navy officer who championed the effort to install the historic marker in 2007. “ There was a need to have a flag that was distinctly different. ”The outnumbered Southerners won the First Battle of Manassas, also known as the First Battle of Bull Run, sending a strong signal to stunned Northerners that the civil war would be long and hard. On Wednesday, as cars and a few pedestrians passed by the marker, several people interviewed by a Washington Post reporter said they never realized that the sign was there. But once they examined it, they — like much of the nation — had ready opinions about what the flag means in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shootings of nine African Americans inside a historic black church in Charleston, S. C. Authorities say the alleged shooter, Dylann Roof, used the Confederate flag in a racist manifesto posted online before the shooting. ["

S. Army. Each branch of the Confederate States armed forces had their own service dress and fatigue uniforms and regulations regarding them during the American Civil War, which lasted from April 12, 1861 until May 1865. The uniform initially varied greatly due to a variety of reasons, such as location, limitations on the supply of cloth and other materials, State regulations that were different from the standard regulations, and the cost of materials during the war. Texas units, for example, had access to massive stocks of U. S. blue uniforms, which were acquired after Confederate forces captured a U. S. supply depot in San Antonio in 1861. These were worn as late as 1863. Early on, servicemen sometimes wore combinations of uniform pieces, making do with what they could get from captured United States Army soldiers, or from U. S. and Confederate dead, or just wear civilian clothing.

The Battle Flag became part of the narrative of the shootings because of an association of the alleged shooter with this Confederate symbol, as well as by the presence of a Confederate Battle Flag flying on the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse where the Honorable Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a victim of the shooting, served as Senator for the past 19 years (see photo). Confederate Battle Flag behind the Confederate monument erected in 1879 to honor “South Carolina’s Dead of the Confederate Army,” on the grounds of the SC Statehouse that can be seen in the background (Photo by William Lees, March 2014). Fred and I authored the book Recalling Deeds Immortal, Florida Monuments to the Civil War in 2014 ( University Press of Florida ). Although not the focus of our book, we do discuss a growing reaction against Confederate symbols, including the Battle Flag, due to their appropriation by a variety of radical and hate groups. The recent push-back against these symbols has resulted in actions such as that taken by the Duval County, Florida, School Board to change the name of Nathan B. Forrest High School last year. Forrest is a controversial Confederate general, accused of atrocities against Union African American soldiers, and was a founder to the KKK. In Pensacola in 2000, Confederate Battle Flags flown in “City of Five Flags” displays were replaced with the Confederate first National Flag because of the association of the Battle Flag with messages of hate. Our interest in the current discussion about Confederate Symbols is not so much the flag, but Civil War monuments that were the subject of our book. In our conclusions, we express our concerns that,“…a growing sentiment … rejects the narrative of the Lost Cause and sees symbols of the Confederacy – including Confederate monuments – as representing the attempt to uphold a social contract originally based on slavery."

On the middle band are five stars, forming an H in the center, two stacked together on the right and left, and one in the very center. The blue stripes symbolizes the waters bordering Honduras: the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The white symbolizes peace and prosperty, while the five stars represent the nations of the former Federal Republic of Central America, which included El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala. History of the Flag of Honduras The flag of Honduras is based on the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, which uses a pale shade of blue for the outer bands, and the federation's seal in the center. After the federation dissolved around 1838, Honduras kept the union's flag, adapting it as its own, adding the five stars in hopes the nations could be united again, and reflecting their shared history.

The inhabitants of Central America represent a variety of ancestries, ethnic groups, and races, making the region one of the most diverse in the world. Some countries have a predominance of European-Amerindian, or Mestizo, population; some are dominated by inhabitants of European ancestry; and some countries' populations are primarily Mixed. Black, Asian, and Afro-Amerindian (historically sometimes called Zambo) minorities are also identified regularly. People with mestizo ancestry are the largest single group, and along with people of European or part-European ancestry, they combine to make up approximately 80% of the population, [1] or even more.

It has at times been referred to as Spanish Honduras to differentiate it from British Honduras, which became modern-day Belize. [ 6] Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Honduras was home to several important Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya, before the Spanish invaded in the sixteenth century. The Spanish introduced Roman Catholicism and the now predominant Spanish language, along with numerous customs that have blended with the indigenous culture. Honduras became independent in 1821 and has since been a republic, although it has consistently endured much social strife and political instability, and remains one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere."

The de Vere star is notorious in English history, because in the Battle of Barnet in 1471, the white star of the Earl of Oxford was mistaken for the white rose of Edward IV by the Earl of Warwick, so that he erroneously attacked his own ally, losing the battle and likely the entire War of the Roses.

Red, Blue, and White: What Do The Colors Of The American Flag Mean? American Flag Facts The United States flag is associated with rich American history and has changed appearance several times. While nobody is absolutely certain who made the first official flag, historians do know that during the Revolutionary War, different militias fought under different flags. These first flags ranged from a rattlesnake with the slogan, “Don’t Tread on Me,” to a pine tree with the phrase, “An Appeal to Heaven.” The idea of a national flag did not become an issue until Congress created the Continental Army in June of 1775 and George Washington flew the Continental Colors flag. The Continental Colors flag is believed to have had red and white stripes with the British Union Jack symbol, from the British national flag, in the upper left corner. Who Created The American Flag? Perhaps George Washington or Congress realized that flying a British symbol while seeking independence from England was not the best way to unite the newly forming country. In 1777, Congress passed the first Flag Resolution."

Here are all the reasons behind using Red, White, and Blue. The American Flag is symbolic in many ways. The alternating red and whites stripes represent the 13 British colonies that settled in America, while the stars represent each individual state. But what about the colors – why is the American Flag red, white and blue? Various historians have their thoughts on what the colors of the American Flag stand for. Some would argue that the colors on the American Flag represent philosophical values, with red representing blood, war and courage, blue standing for justice and freedom, and white representing purity. However, others speculate even further that George Washington had his own interpretation of Old Glory and her colors: stars were taken from the sky, the red was inspired by the British colors, and the white stripes indicate secession from the home country. However, in regards to the Great Seal of the United States, as the book “Our Flag” published in 1989 by the House of Representatives states, “The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”"

It also should be noted that some of the flags on this page can't be considered either \"\"protest\"\" or \"\"message\"\" flags, they are rather \"\"aspiration\"\" flags. By this it is meant that it is the manner in which they are used that determines what they are. For example, a peace flag reflects an aspiration and it only becomes a protest flag when used that way, otherwise, it remains just a peace flag. The UNIA Flag UNIA Flag Variant #1 UNIA Flag Variant #2Black Liberation Flag 1920The Black Liberation Flag, also known as the Afro-American Flag, Pan-African Flag, and the UNIA Flag, is a symbol of African and African-American unity and pride. In the 1960s this flag became a symbol of Black liberation in the United States. This design was first adopted in 1920 as the official banner of the African Race at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) held in New York City. Popularly known today as the Garvey flag, named after Marcus Garvey, it was originally known simply as the \"\"Red-Black-Green\"\" flag. This flag uses what is known as the pan-African colors (red, black and green). The red represents the blood shed in the struggle for liberation."

Answer by Katz2 Confidence votes 38.2KThe official version of the meaning of the Cuban flag according to Cuba's government is that the blue stripes refer to the three old divisions of the island and that the two white stripes represent the strength of the independent ideal. They also state that the red triangle symbolizes equality, fraternity, and freedom, as well as the blood shed in the island's struggle for independence. Lastly, the white star symbolizes the absolute freedom among the Cuban people. The real story is that the Cuban flag was created by Narcisco Lopez and put together by Emilia Teurbe Tolon in 1849. The design of the flag was suggested by the Cuban poet Miguel Teurbe Tolon. His design incorporates three blue stripes that represent the sea that surrounds the island and two white stripes that symbolize the purity of the patriotic cause. The red triangle stands for the blood shed to free the nation and it symbolizes the sky turned red from the blood shed in battle. The white star in the red triangle stands for independence."

You might be surprised to learn that its beginnings aren't exactly clear. Most school-age children will tell you that Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. Are they right? Maybe…According to legend, three members of a secret committee from the Continental Congress — including George Washington — visited Betsy Ross in May 1776 to ask her to sew the first American flag. Since Betsy attended church with George Washington and had done sewing for him before, some people believe it was their friendship that led him to ask her to sew the first flag."

"text": "\"Flag Burning What is Flag Burning all about? Flag burning takes place when an American flag is deemed too marred and tattered to continue to fly. Never is it acceptable for an American flag to be thrown away, as this would be a sign of defeat for the message that it stands for. Instead, flag burning is deemed a more honorable option. The United States Military does everything that it can to take care of its flags, out of a deep seated respect for “the republic for which it stands.” Sometimes however, especially if it has been torn apart in a battle, it is simply unavoidable. When this happens, a flag burning service is held, giving the flag its last honor. This flag burning service usually begins with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a reading of the poem, \"\"I Am Old Glory,\"\" which recounts all of the fateful moments and victories the American flag has witnessed. A moment of silence is usually next, as the crowd quietly considers the solemnity of the moment. Then the field of blue stars is carefully cut out of the flag, and placed on the fire."

But as he played The Star-Spangled Banner, he distorted it to produce increasingly painful, harsh and violent sounds. The Vietnam war and the dissonance of a US at odds with itself throb in the surreal chaos Hendrix makes of a song written in 1813 to express love of the flag: O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

"text": "Alternative Titles: Old Glory, Star-Spangled Banner, Stars and Stripesnational flag consisting of white stars (50 since July 4, 1960) on a blue canton with a field of 13 alternating stripes, 7 red and 6 white. The 50 stars stand for the 50 states of the union, and the 13 stripes stand for the original 13 states. The flag’s width-to-length ratio is 10 to 19. After the American Revolution began, the first, unofficial national flag—known as the Continental Colours (or, sometimes, as the Grand Union Flag, the Cambridge Flag, the Somerville Flag, or the Union Flag)—was hoisted on a towering 76-foot (23-metre) liberty pole at Prospect Hill in Charlestown (now in Somerville ), Massachusetts, on January 1, 1776; it was raised at the behest of Gen. George Washington, whose headquarters were nearby. The flag had 13 horizontal stripes (probably of red and white or of red, white, and blue) and, in the canton, the first version of the British Union Flag ( Union Jack ). As the flag of the Continental Army, it flew at forts and on naval vessels. Another popular early flag, that of the 1765 Sons of Liberty, had only nine red and white stripes. Various versions of “Don’t Tread on Me” coiled-rattlesnake flags appeared on many 18th-century American colonial banners, including several flown by military units during the Revolutionary War. The version carried by the Minutemen of Culpeper County, Virginia, for example, included not only the rattlesnake and the “Don’t Tread on Me” motto but also Virginia patriot Patrick Henry ’s famous words “Liberty or Death. ”The first official national flag, formally approved by the Continental Congres s on June 14, 1777, was the Stars and Stripes."

"text": "Alexander Smith / AWM contributor Many people across the States proudly fly the American flag outside their homes. Places of businesses often do the same thing. But a new, disturbing trend is starting to appear outside of homes across the country. You might have seen the black and white American flag with one blue stripe going through the middle. As you might have guessed, these flags signify the person and community’s support of the police force. In light of police killings, people are coming forward and flying the flag in order to demonstrate that they are in solidarity with the men and women committed to protecting and serving their community…These black and white flags with the blue stripe are showing up outside of more and more homes across the country. In the wake of Dallas police shooting over the weekend, more and more people are getting these flags up there. Many people are posting pictures of these flags from their homes with hashtags including #Support Blue and #Prayersfor Dallas One social media user called Law Enforcement Today shared a picture of the black and white flag with the blues stripe flown at half-mast after the police killing in Dallas. They captioned the image with: “As a LEO in Valley, NE I have taken the liberty of lowering my Blue Line Flag to half staff”One woman replied to this poignant post. “ Ya know what I cant wrap my head around…All LEO go to work fully aware of the 50/50 risk, BUT none expected to leave their home and be killed, the wives, children, parents, all have to deal with loss and pain because of one mans disgrutled feelings."

They are not backwards, the flag is running towards the battle. This is more of a “old wives tale” than any factual evidence. I am quoting the below from a reddit article and have heard similar before from historians (national parks and PBS).“The part of the American flag with the stars on it, is known as the \"\"union.\"\" The relative placement of the union, is arguably the most important part of correctly displaying a flag. There is a lot of flag etiquette that revolves around the placement of the flag in regards to the union. The American flag is usually depicted horizontally with the Union in the upper left-hand corner. The union is typically located in the upper left hand corner of the flag regardless of how the flag is depicted."

Here are all the reasons behind using Red, White, and Blue. The American Flag is symbolic in many ways. The alternating red and whites stripes represent the 13 British colonies that settled in America, while the stars represent each individual state. But what about the colors – why is the American Flag red, white and blue? Various historians have their thoughts on what the colors of the American Flag stand for. Some would argue that the colors on the American Flag represent philosophical values, with red representing blood, war and courage, blue standing for justice and freedom, and white representing purity. However, others speculate even further that George Washington had his own interpretation of Old Glory and her colors: stars were taken from the sky, the red was inspired by the British colors, and the white stripes indicate secession from the home country. However, in regards to the Great Seal of the United States, as the book “Our Flag” published in 1989 by the House of Representatives states, “The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”"

For the first time since severing ties in 1961, they reopened embassies in each other's capitals.

When he took off his belt, however, the cloth underneath was still white. Some will tell you to this day that this is what inspired the red and white stripes. At any rate, this flag is one of the few that are older than the Union Jack as it dates back to the year 1230.23Aruba There is a lot of dispute as to actual meaning of Aruba’s flag. Some say that the four pointed star represents the four main languages of the island, Papiamento, Spanish, English, and Dutch. The light blue is generally said to represent the sea and sky and the meaning of the yellow stripes has been up for debate with some theories proposing it has to do with Aruba’s gold industry while others claim the yellow stands for freedom or abundance.22Bangladesh As you may have noticed, the red circle on the flag is slightly off center.

the center of the emblem features a mosque with pulpit and flags on either side, below the mosque are numerals for the solar year 1298 (1919 in the Gregorian calendar, the year of Afghan independence from the UK); this central image is circled by a border consisting of sheaves of wheat on the left and right, in the upper-center is an Arabic inscription of the Shahada (Muslim creed) below which are rays of the rising sun over the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning \"\"God is great\"\"), and at bottom center is a scroll bearing the name Afghanistan; black signifies the past, red is for the blood shed for independence, and green can represent either hope for the future, agricultural prosperity, or Islam note: Afghanistan had more changes to its national flag in the 20th century - 19 by one count - than any other country; the colors black, red, and green appeared on most of them Akrotiri the flag of the UK is used Albania red with a black two-headed eagle in the center; the design is claimed to be that of 15th-century hero George Kastrioti SKANDERBEG, who led a successful uprising against the Ottoman Turks that resulted in a short-lived independence for some Albanian regions (1443-78); an unsubstantiated explanation for the eagle symbol is the tradition that Albanians see themselves as descendants of the eagle; they refer to themselves as \"\"Shqiptare,\"\" which translates as \"\"sons of the eagle\"\"Algeria two equal vertical bands of green (hoist side) and white; a red, 5-pointed star within a red crescent centered over the two-color boundary; the colors represent Islam (green), purity and peace (white), and liberty (red); the crescent and star are also Islamic symbols, but the crescent is more closed than those of other Muslim countries because Algerians believe the long crescent horns bring happiness American Samoa blue, with a white triangle edged in red that is based on the fly side and extends to the hoist side; a brown and white American bald eagle flying toward the hoist side is carrying 2 traditional Samoan symbols of authority, a war club known as a \"\"fa'alaufa'i\"\" (upper; left talon), and a coconut-fiber fly whisk known as a \"\"fue\"\" (lower; right talon); the combination of symbols broadly mimics that seen on the US Great Seal and reflects the relationship between the US and American Samoa Andorra three vertical bands of blue (hoist side), yellow, and red, with the national coat of arms centered in the yellow band; the latter band is slightly wider than the other 2 so that the ratio of band widths is 8:9:8; the coat of arms features a quartered shield with the emblems of (starting in the upper left and proceeding clockwise): Urgell, Foix, Bearn, and Catalonia; the motto reads VIRTUS UNITA FORTIOR (Strength United is Stronger); the flag combines the blue and red French colors with the red and yellow of Spain to show Franco-Spanish protection note: similar to the flags of Chad and Romania, which do not have a national coat of arms in the center, and the flag of Moldova, which does bear a national emblem Angola two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and black with a centered yellow emblem consisting of a 5-pointed star within half a cogwheel crossed by a machete (in the style of a hammer and sickle);

the sun symbolizes the dawn of a new era, black represents the African heritage of most of the population, blue is for hope, and red is for the dynamism of the people; the \"\"V\"\" stands for victory; the successive yellow, blue, and white coloring is also meant to evoke the country's tourist attractions of sun, sea, and sand Argentina three equal horizontal bands of sky blue (top), white, and sky blue; centered in the white band is a radiant yellow sun with a human face (delineated in brown) known as the Sun of May; the colors represent the clear skies and snow of the Andes; the sun symbol commemorates the appearance of the sun through cloudy skies on 25 May 1810 during the first mass demonstration in favor of independence; the sun features are those of Inti, the Inca god of the sun Armenia three equal horizontal bands of red (top), blue, and orange; the color red recalls the blood shed for liberty, blue the Armenian skies as well as hope, and orange the land and the courage of the workers who farm it Aruba blue, with two narrow, horizontal, yellow stripes across the lower portion and a red, four-pointed star outlined in white in the upper hoist-side corner; the star represents Aruba and its red soil and white beaches, its four points the four major languages (Papiamento, Dutch, Spanish, English) as well as the four points of a compass, to indicate that its inhabitants come from all over the world; the blue symbolizes Caribbean waters and skies; the stripes represent the island's two main \"\"industries\"\": the flow of tourists to the sun-drenched beaches and the flow of minerals from the earth Ashmore and Cartier Islands the flag of Australia is used Australia blue with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and a large seven-pointed star in the lower hoist-side quadrant known as the Commonwealth or Federation Star, representing the federation of the colonies of Australia in 1901;

upon removal of his wide belt or sash, a white band was revealed; the red-white-red color combination was subsequently adopted as his banner Azerbaijan three equal horizontal bands of sky blue (top), red, and green; a crescent and eight-pointed star in white are centered in the red band; the blue band recalls Azerbaijan's Turkic heritage, red stands for modernization and progress, and green refers to Islam; the crescent moon and star are a Turkic insignia; the eight star points represent the eight Turkic peoples of the world Bahamas, The three equal horizontal bands of aquamarine (top), gold, and aquamarine, with a black equilateral triangle based on the hoist side;

Last updated: 7 years ago Category: Country Info Tags: flag world reference Country Note Abkhazia Afghanistan three equal vertical bands of black (hoist side), red, and green, with the national emblem in white centered on the red band and slightly overlapping the other two bands; the center of the emblem features a mosque with pulpit and flags on either side, below the mosque are numerals for the solar year 1298 (1919 in the Gregorian calendar, the year of Afghan independence from the UK); this central image is circled by a border consisting of sheaves of wheat on the left and right, in the upper-center is an Arabic inscription of the Shahada (Muslim creed) below which are rays of the rising sun over the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning \"\"God is great\"\"), and at bottom center is a scroll bearing the name Afghanistan; black signifies the past, red is for the blood shed for independence, and green can represent either hope for the future, agricultural prosperity, or Islam note: Afghanistan had more changes to its national flag in the 20th century than any other country; the colors black, red, and green appeared on most of them Akrotiri the flag of the UK is used Albania red with a black two-headed eagle in the center; the design is claimed to be that of 15th-century hero George Castriota SKANDERBERG, who led a successful uprising against the Turks that resulted in a short-lived independence for some Albanian regions (1443-1478); an unsubstantiated explanation for the eagle symbol is the tradition that Albanians see themselves as descendants of the eagle; they refer to themselves as \"\"Shkypetars,\"\" which translates as \"\"sons of the eagle\"\"Algeria two equal vertical bands of green (hoist side) and white; a red, five-pointed star within a red crescent centered over the two-color boundary; the colors represent Islam (green), purity and peace (white), and liberty (red); the crescent and star are also Islamic symbols, but the crescent is more closed than those of other Muslim countries because the Algerians believe the long crescent horns bring happiness American Samoa blue, with a white triangle edged in red that is based on the fly side and extends to the hoist side; a brown and white American bald eagle flying toward the hoist side is carrying two traditional Samoan symbols of authority, a war club known as a \"\"Fa'alaufa'i\"\" (upper; left talon), and a coconut fiber fly whisk known as a \"\"Fue\"\" (lower; right talon); the combination of symbols broadly mimics that seen on the US Great Seal and reflects the relationship between the United States and American Samoa Andorra three vertical bands of blue (hoist side), yellow, and red, with the national coat of arms centered in the yellow band; the latter band is slightly wider than the other two so that the ratio of band widths is 8:9:8; the coat of arms features a quartered shield with the emblems of (starting in the upper left and proceeding clockwise): Urgell, Foix, Bearn, and Catalonia; the motto reads VIRTUS UNITA FORTIOR (Strength United is Stronger); the flag combines the blue and red French colors with the red and yellow of Spain to show Franco-Spanish protection note: similar to the flags of Chad and Romania, which do not have a national coat of arms in the center, and the flag of Moldova, which does bear a national emblem Angola two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and black with a centered yellow emblem consisting of a five-pointed star within half a cogwheel crossed by a machete (in the style of a hammer and sickle); red represents liberty, black the African continent, the symbols characterize workers and peasants Anguilla blue, with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and the Anguillan coat of arms centered in the outer half of the flag; the coat of arms depicts three orange dolphins in an interlocking circular design on a white background with a turquoise-blue field below; the white in the background represents peace; the blue base symbolizes the surrounding sea, as well as faith, youth, and hope; the three dolphins stand for endurance, unity, and strength Antarctica Antarctica has no official flag as it is not a nation nor is it ruled by a single government or body. The Antarctic Treaty Organization adopted a flag in 2002 and is used as an unofficial symbol of the continent. Also, several unofficial designs have been proposed. Antigua and Barbuda red, with an inverted isosceles triangle based on the top edge of the flag; the triangle contains three horizontal bands of black (top), light blue, and white, with a yellow rising sun in the black band; the sun symbolizes the dawn of a new era, black represents the African heritage of most of the population, blue is for hope, and red is for the dynamism of the people; the \"\"V\"\" stands for victory; the successive yellow, blue, and white coloring is also meant to evoke the country's tourist attractions of sun, sea, and sand Argentina Three equal horizontal bands of light blue (top), white, and light blue; centered in the white band is a radiant yellow sun with a human face known as the Sun of May; There are multiple interpretations on the reasons for those colors: the blue colors represent the clear skies; the sun symbol commemorates the appearance of the sun through cloudy skies on 25 May 1810 during the first mass demonstration in favor of independence; the sun features are those of Inti, the Inca god of the sun."

These useful, shapeshifting tools can be as small as -s, and -ed, or can be larger additions such as -ation, and -ious. The Function of a Suffix There are many suffixes used in the English language to create a rich vocabulary. These suffixes change the meaning or grammatical function of a root word. For example, by adding the suffixes -er and -est to the adjective \"\"fond,\"\" you create the comparative \"\"fonder\"\" and the superlative , \"\"fondest. \"\" Take the suffix -ist, by adding this to a word you have changed the word to describe a person who performs or practices something. So, art becomes artist, a person skilled in a particular art. Let's look at the verb \"\"read.\"\" This verb can be turned into a noun by adding the suffix -er, and so \"\"read\"\" becomes \"\"reader.\"\" Likewise, by adding the suffix -able the verb \"\"read\"\" now becomes the adjective \"\"readable. \"\""

Nominalization refers to the creation of a noun from verbs or adjectives. Most of the time, nouns are created from other parts of speech through the use of suffixes. In other cases, the word remains the same but is simply used a different way; this is known as conversion or zero derivation. Suffixes Suffixes are certain groupings of letters that can be attached to the end of words to change their meaning. Most verbs and adjectives that become nouns are changed using suffixes. ( Be aware, however, that the examples below only show some of the common ways of using suffixes to change verbs and adjectives to nouns; they are not all concrete rules, and the lists of possible suffixes are not exhaustive ones. The best way to learn the spellings of such nouns is by using a good dictionary, or by encountering them in everyday speech and writing. ) Verbs There are certain patterns that we follow to decide which suffix is needed in order to create a noun from a verb. Gerunds The most straightforward way of turning a verb into a noun is through the use of gerunds."

Usage notes Many nouns formed with -ity are uncountable; those that are countable form their plurals in -ities. The addition of -ity to an adjective results in a shift of stress to the antepenultimate syllable; that is, words in -ity are stressed on the last syllable before the -ity, even in cases where this syllable is part of another suffix (as in words in -ability, -ivity, and -icity). Further, this shift typically results in a change in vowel quality; compare, for example, real and reality, where the sound [æ] in the second word is not present in the first. These vowel quality changes are usually consistent with the spelling of both forms — note that the letter <a> in the second word is present in the first — but is pronounced [k], before -ity it becomes [s]; compare, for example, elastic and elasticity.

"text": "Education Language Arts Vocabulary Meeting the Most Often Used Suffixes Meeting the Most Often Used Suffixes Some suffixes are used so frequently in the English language that you may not even think of them — much less recognize them — as suffixes. These include -d/-ed, which are used to indicate tense on a verb, and -s/-es, which are used to indicate number. Other suffixes are easy to identify, but you see them so often that they merit mention right up front. Picking favorites: -ment, -ence/-ance, -able/-ible, and -ion Who’s to say which suffixes are most important? Sure, some folks support – ness, -ity, and -ful, and certainly – ate, -less, and -ly have their fans. Nonetheless, there are good reasons to be especially fond of the suffixes – ment, -ence/-ance, -able/-ible, and -ion. You’ll find these suffixes exceedingly useful for deciphering unfamiliar words. Table 1 shows what these suffixes mean and gives examples of their use. Table 1: Suffixes – ment, -ence/-ance, -able/-ible, and -ion Suffix Meaning Example Part of Speech Definitionmentan action, process, or act of a specified kindencouragement (en- kur -ij-ment)nounthe act of encouraging; helpfulnessargument ( ahr -gyoo-ment)nounthe act of arguing or discussing; a disputeence/ancequality or state; an action or processconference ( kon -fur-uhns)nouna meeting; the process of conferringreverence ( rev -er-ens)noundeep respect mingled with awe; the state of being reveredclearance ( klear -uhns)noungiving the go-ahead; instance of clearingable/iblecapable or worthy of, fit for; tending to, causing, given to, or liable tomanageable ( man -ij-uh-bul)adj.submitting to control; capable of being managedsustainable (suh- stayn -uh-bul)adj.tolerable; able to be sustainedlovable ( luv -uh-bul)adj.worthy of lovepeaceable ( pee -suh-bul)adj.tranquil; given to peacecollectible (kuh- lek -tuh-bul)adj./noundesirable; worthy of collectingforcible ( for -suh-bul)adj.vigorous; given to force; accomplished by forceionact, result of an act, or state or conditionablution (ab -loo -shun)nounact of washingaffirmation (af-er- may -shun)nounact of agreeingrebellion (rih- bel -yuhn)nounact of resistingconvocation (kon-voh- kay -shun)nounact of coming together The difference between the suffix -able/-ible and the other suffixes in the table is that -able/-ible creates adjectives.

It is differentiated from inflection, which is the modification of a word to form different grammatical categories without changing its core meaning: determines, determining, and determined are from the root determine.

Such an affix usually applies to words of one lexical category (part of speech) and changes them into words of another such category. For example, the English derivational suffix -ly changes adjectives into adverbs ( slow → slowly ). Here are examples of English derivational patterns and their suffixes:adjective-to- noun: -ness ( slow → slowness)adjective-to- verb: -ise ( modern → modernise) in British English or -ize ( final → finalize) in American English and Oxford spellingadjective-to-adjective: -ish ( red → reddish)adjective-to- adverb: -ly ( personal → personally)noun-to- adjective: -al ( recreation → recreational)noun-to-verb: -fy ( glory → glorify)verb-to-adjective: -able ( drink → drinkable)verb-to-noun ( abstract ): -ance ( deliver → deliverance)verb-to-noun ( agent ): -er ( write → writer)However, derivational affixes do not necessarily alter the lexical category; they may change merely the meaning of the base and leave the category unchanged.

"text": "Medical Word Elements CONTENTS [ show]The language of medicine is a specialized vocabulary used by health care practitioners. Many current medical word elements originated as early as the 1st century B. C., when Hippocrates practiced medicine. With advancements in medicine, new terms have evolved to reflect these innovations. For example, radiographic terms, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US), are now used to describe current diagnostic procedures. A medical word consists of some or all of the following elements: word root, combining form, suffix, and prefix. How you combine these elements, and whether all or some of them are present in a medical term, determines the meaning of a word. The purpose of this chapter is to help you identify these elements in order to construct medical terms correctly. Word Roots A word root is the foundation of a medical term and contains its primary meaning. All medical terms have at least one word root. Most word roots are derived from Greek or Latin language."

When you know the common ones, and how to combine them, you can understand hundreds of different words. The majority of academic vocabulary (and a lot of everyday English), uses Latin roots and affixes (= prefixes and suffixes). They are especially useful if you want to study at a university in an English-speaking country or to work with English-speaking colleagues (fellow professionals or business associates). Look at Word Parts to Learn New Words If you already speak a Latin-based language like French, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese, you have a huge advantage in reading academic English. If not, you can still increase your vocabulary faster by studying roots and affixes. Studying the roots on the following pages can still help you see common patterns and recognize new words. It’s also easier to learn words in groups, so you can see the connections between them. That's why there's so much information on the words made from each root, on word families and on derivations-- the ways English words can change form (and part of speech) for use in different places in a sentence.

Payne, Understanding English Grammar; Cambridge University Press, 2011).by Richard Nordquist Updated March 24, 2017In morphology, derivation is the process of creating a new word out of an old word, usually by adding a prefix or a suffix. Adjective: derivational. Linguist Geert Booij notes that one criterion for distinguishing derivation and inflection \"\"is that derivation may feed inflection, but not vice versa. Derivation applies to the stem-forms of words, without their inflectional endings, and creates new, more complex stems to which inflectional rules can be applied\"\" ( The Grammar of Words, 2005). Derivational change that takes place without the addition of a bound morpheme (such as the use of the noun impact as a verb) is called zero derivation or conversion.

"text": "Education Language Arts Vocabulary Tending to Word Roots Tending to Word Roots A root is the basic element of a word, and it is the foundation on which the meaning of a word is built. Many roots are real words in their own right: graph (a diagram) and term (a fixed time or date), for example. Although these roots can have other elements, they don’t need other elements to be complete. Most roots, however, do need other elements. For example, the roots archy (government) and dox (opinion or belief) need to be combined with other word elements, like prefixes, suffixes, or even other roots:dyarchy: a government with two rulers, from the prefix dy- (meaning two) and the root archy (meaning government)anarchist: one who rebels against governmental authority, from the prefix an- (meaning without or no), the root archy (meaning government), and the suffix -ist (meaning one who)orthodox: conforming to established doctrines and practices, from the prefix ortho- (meaning right or true) and the root dox (meaning opinion or belief)The following sections give you the lowdown on roots and how you can use them to uncover the meaning of words you don’t know — yet. Exploring the basics of roots In order to use roots to uncover a word’s meaning, you need to know a few things about how roots work. Here’s a quick rundown: Some roots form whole words by themselves. For example: Arbor means “tree”; vent means “opening to allow air to enter”; and audio means “sound” or “hearing. ”Although these roots form words in and of themselves, you can also combine them with other word elements (like prefixes and suffixes) to make new words, as in the following: Root Word Element New Word Part of Speech Definitionarborealarboreal (ar- bor -ee-al)adj.of or relating to treesventilateventilate ( vent -il-ate)verbto expose to airaudioibleaudible ( aw -di-ble)adj.able to be heard Some roots must be combined with other word elements to form words.

Tattooing for people at those times was a way to express their bravery because of the painful method by which it was done. Traditionally, Hawaiian tattoo was done only in black colour. For this, the skin of the person had to be cut open and tattoo ink made up of ash and soot was poured in the cut. Then, the ash and soot were allowed to get dry so that the ink pigment may turn black. This traditional Hawaiian style tattoo is a great example of what this style of tattooing is all about.

They can certainly be just that, but believe it or not, fruit does have a number of symbolic meanings, and most make great foundations for tattoos. Fruit Symbolism In the most philosophical sense, fruit is actually the cradle of life for a variety of plants. Fruit bursts forth from fertilized blossoms and bears the seeds that ensure each plant's opportunity for renewal. When viewed in this light, fruit tattoos are actually filled with meaning. Meanings Associated with Various Fruits Apples - There are few people who aren't at least a little familiar with the story of Adam and Eve. Eve was tempted to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, typically represented as the apple, and because she and Adam both took a bite, they lost their innocence and were expelled from the garden of Eden. At its simplest, the apple can be used to represent knowledge and/or temptation in a tattoo design. On another note, apples symbolize peace in some Asian cultures. Oranges - In Chinese culture, oranges are symbolic wishes of good fortune and are given as gifts with this purpose in mind."

Neither their meaning nor purpose is clear at first glance, and their lack of utility relegates them to a life of Unicode loneliness in your i Phone or Android. With dozens of emoji, it makes sense that a few will prosper while others wither away in anonymity. These lonely emoji rarely see the light of day, and with the help of Emojitracker, we can see exactly how underutilized they are.

Definition of a Power Button or Power Switch and When to Use a Power Button Share Pin Email Print© Martin Hospach / Getty Imagesby Tim Fisher Updated September 08, 2017The power button is a round or square button that powers an electronic device on and off. Nearly all electronic devices have power buttons or power switches. Typically, the device powers on when the button is pressed and powers off when the button is pressed again. A hard power button is mechanical - you can feel a click when pressed and usually see a difference in depth when the switch is on versus when it's not. A soft power button, which is much more common, is electrical and appears the same when the device is on and off. Some older devices instead have a power switch that accomplishes the same thing as a hard power button. A flip of the switch in one direction turns the device on, and a flip in the other turns the device off. On/Off Power Button Symbols (I & O)Power buttons and switches are usually labeled with \"\"I\"\" and \"\"O\"\" symbols. The \"\"I\"\" represents power on and the \"\"O\"\" represents power off."

Here are all the symbols you are likely to see and a couple you're not likely to see. The i Phone has a lot more options that the average non-smartphone and because of that it also has a lot more information that it has to be able to give you. In order to do this there are a number of i Phone symbols that can tell you a lot about your phone, from signal strength and battery life, to symbols that are far less common. Each of these symbols means something worth understanding. Signal Strength Symbols The first symbols that you are likely to look for when you pick up the phone relate to signal strength. The most common of these is the cell signal which is up to five vertical bars. You will also see the Wi-Fi signal. This is three curved lines forming a triangle with a round top. Seeing this at all means you are connected to Wi-Fi, but like the signal strength icon, it will change based on the strength of that signal."

"text": "\"Breaking Google Glass Into Pieces: The Costs of Production and Likely Retail Price August 23, 2013, 11:00:00 AM EDT By Nick Shchetko, Minyanville Shutterstock photo Google Glass ( GOOG ), the much-hyped augmented reality device, looks like the most promising foray into the wearable tech market by a major company thus far. IHS i Suppli ( IHS ) forecasts that the smart Glass market will hit the $6 billion mark by 2016, with up to 9.4 million units sold by then. First announced in spring 2012 , Google Glass is now in use by a limited group of Google employees, developers, and about 10,000 early adopters (known as \"\"Explorers\"\") who were chosen by Google. It costs to belong to that last category; as an Explorer, you have to pay $1,500 for the device and you cannot resell it. In fact, it's cost that might be one of the decisive factors to make or break Glass's market prospects. As the popular technology blogger and Glass Explorer Robert Scoble puts it , \"\"The success of this [device] totally depends on price.\"\" In public talks, he has asked audiences about their willingness to purchase a Glass headset, and found that most people were reluctant to buy the device at $500. But, he says, when he asked crowds about whether they'd purchase Glass at $200, \"\"literally every hand went up.\"\" \"\" This was consistent, whether talking with students, or more mainstream, older audiences,\"\" Scoble said. So how much will Glass cost?"

You don't even need to do a hard reset. In fact, doing a system cache will NOT delete any of your personal info, but only the background and application cache. Cache is stored data on the phone which allows apps to load quicker, it's like the data is on standby until you need it again. Wiping it simply means that the app will have to reload the data. Here's how it's done: Turn off phone Remove the battery and reinsert. Hold down the Home and Volume Up keys Press and hold the Power button while still holding the other keys. As soon as you see the Samsung logo, release all keys/buttons. Press on the Volume Down to scroll down to Wipe Cache Partition. Press the Power button to select it."

Smartphone Space While smartphone sizes have steadily increased there are still limitations that might cause you to fill up your phone before it’s time to upgrade to the next version. In addition to music and movies your phone also stores lots of apps, podcasts, pictures, and text messages. Each text message takes up a tiny bit of space which means that every time you send or receive a photo or video a copy is kept in your text message database even if you have the same photo or video stored elsewhere on your phone."

T cell repertoire refers to the diversity of clonotypic T cells expressing unique TCRs, clonotypic meaning when a given T cell divides it creates a multitude of T cells bearing that same unique somatically generated TCR ( Somatic recombination - Wikipedia ). T cells aren't ' positively selected in the thymus to recognize only own MHC (and foreign peptide) '. To understand how that’s not even possible, consider someone who gets infected with flu. Thymic selection of T cells that ' recognize only own MHC and foreign peptide ' implies that to even have flu-specific T cells in the first place, the thymus should express flu antigens to positively select T cells expressing flu-specific TCRs, and so on ad nauseam for every one of the millions of peptides derived from the multitude of different kinds of entities a body might encounter and need to prevail over in the course of a lifetime. Crux is the thymus needs to select myriad T cell specificities during thymic T cell development even though the body can't predict what antigen-derived peptides and antigens it would encounter in future."

Author information: (1)Department of Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center, CA 94305-5111. CD4 and CD8 T cell surface molecules play a role in T cell recognition and activation by binding to their respective class II and class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ligands on an antigen presenting cell (APC). Though CD4 and CD8 are capable of binding to MHC molecules in the absence of the T cell receptor (TCR), increasing evidence suggests that they may primarily function by complexing with the TCR to form a 'co-receptor' for recognition of antigen-bound MHC. Using gene transfer studies we have demonstrated that CD4 and CD8 can augment antigen-induced IL-2 production through different mechanisms dependent on whether or not they can bind MHC independently of the TCR or complexed with the TCR. Under circumstances where CD4 and CD8 can bind to the same MHC ligand as the TCR, they potentiate antigen-induced IL-2 production maximally by a mechanism in large part dependent on their cytoplasmic tails."

Our understanding of the importance of the distinct differentiated forms of CD4 T cells and of the mechanisms through which they achieve their differentiated state has greatly expanded over the past 2 decades. Today at least 4 distinct CD4 T-cell subsets have been shown to exist, Th1, Th2, Th17, and i Treg cells. Here we summarize much of what is known about the 4 subsets, including the history of their discovery, their unique cytokine products and related functions, their distinctive expression of cell surface receptors and their characteristic transcription factors, the regulation of their fate determination, and the consequences of their abnormal activation. Introduction CD4 T cells play a central role in immune protection. They do so through their capacity to help B cells make antibodies, to induce macrophages to develop enhanced microbicidal activity, to recruit neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils to sites of infection and inflammation, and, through their production of cytokines and chemokines, to orchestrate the full panoply of immune responses. Beginning with the groundbreaking work of Mossman and Coffman in 1986 1 showing that long-term CD4 T-cell lines could be subdivided into 2 groups, those that made IFNγ as their signature cytokine and those that produced IL-4, it has been realized that CD4 T cells are not a unitary set of cells but represent a series of distinct cell populations with different functions While some of these CD4 T-cell populations are actually distinct lineages of cells already distinguished from one another when they emerge from the thymus, such as “natural” regulatory T (n Treg) cells 2, 3 and natural killer T cells (NKT cells), 4 several represent alternative patterns of differentiation of naive CD4 T cells. It is to the description of these cells, their functions, their patterns of differentiation, the sets of genes they express, and the consequences of abnormalities in them that this review is devoted. Naive conventional CD4 T cells have open to them 4 (and possibly more) distinct fates that are determined by the pattern of signals they receive during their initial interaction with antigen. These 4 populations are Th1, Th2, Th17, and induced regulatory T (i Treg) cells."

The entire world is full of pathogens which we need to fight off to leave a normal life. Due to this, we have an immune system that helps us fight off and prevent/manage subsequent infections. Our immune system can be classified into two, the innate and acquired immune responses. The innate immune response is broadly specific and provides the first defensive action against any infection. Their response to any subsequent infection stays the same as the initial infection. In contrast, the acquired immune response is highly specific such that it provides defence by generating antibodies specific to an antigen. They also have the capacity of keeping infection memory such that there will be a more powerful response to future infections."

A cytotoxic T cell (also known as T C, cytotoxic T lymphocyte, CTL, T-killer cell, cytolytic T cell, CD8+ T-cell or killer T cell) is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses ), or cells that are damaged in other ways. Most cytotoxic T cells express T-cell receptors (TCRs) that can recognize a specific antigen. An antigen is a molecule capable of stimulating an immune response, and is often produced by cancer cells or viruses. Antigens inside a cell are bound to class I MHC molecules, and brought to the surface of the cell by the class I MHC molecule, where they can be recognized by the T cell. If the TCR is specific for that antigen, it binds to the complex of the class I MHC molecule and the antigen, and the T cell destroys the cell. In order for the TCR to bind to the class I MHC molecule, the former must be accompanied by a glycoprotein called CD8, which binds to the constant portion of the class I MHC molecule. Therefore, these T cells are called CD8+ T cells. The affinity between CD8 and the MHC molecule keeps the T C cell and the target cell bound closely together during antigen-specific activation."

In immunology, an antigen is a molecule capable of inducing an immune response (to produce an antibody) in the host organism. [ 1] Sometimes antigens are part of the host itself in an autoimmune disease. [ 2]Antigens are \"\"targeted\"\" by antibodies. Each antibody (immune response) is specifically produced by the immune system to match an antigen after cells in the immune system come into contact with it; this allows a precise identification or matching of the antigen and the initiation of a tailored response. The antibody is said to \"\"match\"\" the antigen in the sense that it can bind to it due to an adaptation performed to a region of the antibody; because of this, many different antibodies are produced, each with specificity to bind a different antigen while sharing the same basic structure. In most cases, an adapted antibody can only react to and bind one specific antigen; in some instances, however, antibodies may cross-react to and bind more than one antigen. Also, an antigen is a molecule that binds to Ag-specific receptors, but cannot necessarily induce an immune response in the body by itself. [ 3] Antigens are usually peptides (amino acid chains), polysaccharides (chains of monosaccharides/simple sugars) or lipids. In general, saccharides and lipids (as opposed to peptides) qualify as antigens but not as immunogens since they cannot elicit an immune response on their own."

A first signal, which is antigen -specific, is provided through the T cell receptor (TCR) which interacts with peptide- MHC molecules on the membrane of antigen presenting cells (APC). A second signal, the co-stimulatory signal, is antigen nonspecific and is provided by the interaction between co-stimulatory molecules expressed on the membrane of APC and the T cell. One of the best characterized co-stimulatory molecules expressed by T cells is CD28, which interacts with CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2) on the membrane of APC. Another costimulatory receptor expressed by T cells is ICOS ( I nducible Cos timulator), which interacts with ICOS-L.

"text": "Cancer and Immunotherapies Cancer is uncontrolled growth of cells in the body which may lead to organ failure and death. The body responds to uncontrolled cell growth in several ways, one of which is to deploy white blood cells of the immune system to detect, attack, and destroy the cancerous cells. It has been known for quite some time that the immune system can be manipulated to control cancer. In 1891, the American surgeon William Coley undertook the first systematic study of immunotherapy for cancer, using first live bacteria, then heat-killed bacterial toxins to stimulate the immune system to attack and resolve bone cancers. Although initially successful, Coley’s toxins as they were known, were eventually replaced by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which were considered to have more consistent effects. Recently, immunotherapy for blood cancers (liquid tumors) has experienced a renaissance, led by clinical researchers such as Carl June and Steve Rosenberg who have developed methods for isolating, expanding, and engineering cancer-killing cells from leukemia patients and infusing them back to destroy their cancers, with durable remissions stretching many years for a large number of the initial cohort of patients. Ex-vivo gene therapy is typically used to impart cancer specificity on the patient’s own white blood cells used for these innovative treatments. The target cell population are often T cells, although other cell types such as NK cells are also showing promise in early clinical trials. Each T cell has a unique T cell receptor (TCR) which allows it to recognize antigen on the target cell. However, this is a complicated process involving the processing of molecules into small fragments displayed on the outside of cell surface by membrane-bound MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules, which may bind a given TCR in a process called antigen recognition, which is at the heart of adaptive immunity."

Long-term BM cultures provide an in vitro model for study of this in vivo microenvironraent and show that an adherent stromal layer consisting of fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells, and ECM is required to sustain hematopoiesis.6 In particular, early progenitor cells preferentially associate with the stromal layer: adhesion of early progenitor cells to marrow-derived adherent cells has been documented for erythroid,7 myeloid,8 and lymphoid precursors.9 Moreover, the interactions of normal and malignant hematopoietic cells with one another, with the vascular endothelium, and with the subendothelial matrix are essential for a number of other physiological and pathological processes including lymphocyte migration, wound healing, inflammation, hemostasis, thrombosis, and tumor cell metastasis. These attachments require the concerted actions of a number of cell adhesion molecules. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions belong to at least five families: cadherins, the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, integrins, selectins, and cell surface proteoglycans (Table 1).

[email protected] and [email protected] The conventional classification of known immune responses by specificity may need re-evaluation. The immune system can be classified into two subsystems: the innate and adaptive immune systems. In general, innate immunity is considered a nonspecific response, whereas the adaptive immune system is thought of as being very specific. In addition, the antigen receptors of the adaptive immune response are commonly viewed as 'master sensors' whose engagement dictates lymphocyte function. Here we propose that these ideas do not genuinely reflect the organization of immune responses and that they bias our view of immunity as well as our teaching of immunology. Indeed, the level of specificity and mode of signaling integration used by the main cellular participants in the adaptive and innate immune systems are more similar than previously appreciated. In vertebrates, innate and adaptive immunity are commonly distinguished on the basis of their levels of specificity, with the antigen receptors of the adaptive immune system mediating highly specific responses, in contrast to the more promiscuous, and therefore less specific, recognition of pathogens by the innate immune receptors."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 20:59When acute inflammation is not sufficient to deal with a pathogen, chronic inflammation takes over. Chronic inflammation is mediated by B-Cell and T-Cell leukocytes/lymphocytes. These white blood cells make up the Adaptive Immune System which takes longer to kick in than innate immunity, but has higher potency and specificity. B-Cells are the leukocytes that turn into plasma cells and release antibody once they have been activated. Antibody is the most important part of the Humoral Immune system. It is a secreted free floating form of the B-Cell Receptor. So whatever antigen activated the B-Cell through an interaction with the BCR will also be recognized by the antibody. Antibody will be discussed in much greater detail in our next section. B Cells are activated primarily in response to extracellular pathogens (mostly bacteria)."

The body has two immune systems: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system.2. Innate immunity is an antigen-nonspecific defense mechanisms that a host uses immediately or within several hours after exposure to almost any microbe. 3. Innate immunity is the immunity one is born with and is the initial response by the body to eliminate microbes and prevent infection. 4. Immediate innate immunity begins 0 - 4 hours after exposure to an infectious agent and involves the action of soluble preformed antimicrobial molecules that circulate in the blood and in extracellular tissue fluids. 5. Early induced innate immunity begins 4 - 96 hours after exposure to an infectious agent and involves the recruitment of defense cells as a result of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or PAMPS binding to pattern-recognition receptors or PRRs. 6."

Denzin d Jacques Thibodeau a Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.humimm.2013.05.010 Get rights and content Abstract HLA-DO (H2-O in mice) is an intracellular non-classical MHC class II molecule (MHCII). It forms a stable complex with HLA-DM (H2-M in mice) and shapes the MHC class II-associated peptide repertoire. Here, we tested the impact of HLA-DO and H2-O on the binding of superantigens (SAgs), which has been shown previously to be sensitive to the structural nature of the class II-bound peptides. We found that the binding of staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) A and B, as well as toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), was similar on the HLA-DO + human B cell lines 721.45 and its HLA-DO − counterpart. However, overexpressing HLA-DO in MHC class II + He La cells (He La-CIITA-DO) improved binding of SEA and TSST-1. Accordingly, knocking down HLA-DO expression using specific si RNAs decreased SEA and TSST-1 binding. We tested directly the impact of the class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP), which dissociation from MHC class II molecules is inhibited by overexpressed HLA-DO. Loading of synthetic CLIP on HLA-DR + cells increased SEA and TSST-1 binding. Accordingly, knocking down HLA-DM had a similar effect. In mice, H2-O deficiency had no impact on SAgs binding to isolated splenocytes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Molecular mimicry is defined as the theoretical possibility that sequence similarities between foreign and self-peptides are sufficient to result in the cross-activation of autoreactive T or B cells by pathogen-derived peptides. Despite the promiscuity [ clarification needed Maybe prevalence?] of several peptide sequences which can be both foreign and self in nature, a single antibody or TCR ( T cell receptor) can be activated by even a few [ clarification needed Maybe just a few?] crucial residues which stresses the importance of structural homology in the theory of molecular mimicry. Upon the activation of B or T cells, it is believed that these \"\"peptide mimic\"\" specific T or B cells can cross-react with self-epitopes, thus leading to tissue pathology ( autoimmunity ). [ 1] Molecular mimicry is a phenomenon that has been just recently discovered as one of several ways in which autoimmunity can be evoked. A molecular mimicking event is, however, more than an epiphenomenon despite its low statistical probability of occurring and these events have serious implications in the onset of many human autoimmune disorders. In the past decade the study of autoimmunity, the failure to recognize self antigens as \"\"self\"\", has grown immensely. Autoimmunity is thought by many researchers to be a result of a loss of immunological tolerance, the ability for an individual to discriminate between self and non-self, though others are beginning to think that many autoimmune diseases are due to mutations governing programmed cell death, or to environmental products that injure target tissues, thus causing a release of immunostimulatory alarm signals,. [ 2] [3] Growth in the field of autoimmunity has resulted in more and more frequent diagnosis of autoimmune diseases."

( September 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)CTLA4 or CTLA-4 ( cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 ), also known as CD152 ( cluster of differentiation 152), is a protein receptor that, functioning as an immune checkpoint, downregulates immune responses. CTLA4 is constitutively expressed in regulatory T cells but only upregulated in conventional T cells after activation - a phenomenon which is particularly notable in cancers. [ 4] It acts as an \"\"off\"\" switch when bound to CD80 or CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. The CTLA-4 protein is encoded by the Ctla4 gene in mice [5] and the CTLA4 gene in humans.

In November 1995, the labs of Tak Wah Mak and Arlene H. Sharpe independently published their findings on the discovery of the function of CTLA-4 as a negative regulator of T-cell activation, by knocking out the gene in mice. [ 7] [8] Previous studies from several labs had used methods which could not definitively define the function of CTLA-4, and were contradictory. [ 9]Function [ edit]CTLA4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed by activated T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells."
