"text": "The respiratory system serves three principal purposes in the human body: gaseous exchange; sound production; and assistance in compression of the abdomen. It can be divided into two structural divisions, upper and lower, as well as two functional divisions, conducting and respiratory. Respiration involves three separate yet inter-related functions: Ventilation (breathing)Gaseous Exchange Oxygen Utilization Ventilation and gaseous exchange at the air blood interface are collectively known as external respiration whereas gaseous exchange between the blood and tissues is known as internal respiration. Respiration, both internal and external, is fundamental to homeostasis as without oxygen (O2) the body's tissues can not produce sufficient amounts of ATP, and an accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other waste products would poison the tissues. Contents1 Structure of The Respiratory System2 The Conducting System3 The Nose3.1 External Nose3.1.1 Bony Structure of the External Nose3.1.2 Nasal Septum3.2 Nasal Cavities Structure of The Respiratory System [ edit]The respiratory system is composed of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea and the bronchi, bronchioles, and pulmonary alveoli in the lungs .diaphragm The nose and pharynx make up the upper respiratory system, while the lower respiratory system is comprised of the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, alveoli and the lungs. Another equally common classification system divides the structures according to function i.e. those that transport gases between the environment and the alveoli - conducting system, and the pulmonary alveoli themselves - the respiratory division where gaseous exchange takes place between the atmosphere and the blood. The Conducting System [ edit]The functions of the conducting system are to transport, warm, humidify, and filter the air. These functions are facilitated by the various epithelia lining the passageways of the respiratory system. The Nose [ edit]The nose is found on the anterior aspect of the face and includes both an external protuberance and the internal nasal cavity. It is situated above the hard palate and is the organ of smell."

They are branches of the bronchi, and are part of the conducting zone of the respiratory system. The bronchioles divide further into smaller terminal bronchioles which are still in the conducting zone and these then divide into the smaller respiratory bronchioles which mark the beginning of the respiratory region.

"text": "Larynx Air enters the lower respiratory system through an opening called the glottis. The larynx is a cylindrical structure that surrounds, protects and controls the glottis. Vocal folds flank the glottis and contain elastic tissue that vibrate to produce sound. Trachea The trachea is a tough, flexible tube that is supported by 15 to 20 C-shaped tracheal cartilages which are attached by annular ligaments. The trachea is lined by typical respiratory epithelium, PCCE. Primary Bronchus The trachea divides into right and left primary bronchi which are similar to the trachea in design. The primary bronchi enter each lung at an indentation called the hilus. Superficial Anatomy of Lungs The right and left lungs are situated in the pleural cavities and are shaped like blunt cones with a blunt superior apex within the base of the neck and a concave base on the surface of the diaphragm. Lobes of lungs: Each lung is divided into distinct lobes. The right lung has three lobes, a superior, middle and inferior lobe."

Causes: smoking,breathing chemical fumes, dust, polluted air over many years, which will result of irritating the airways and destroys the stretchy fibers in the lungs and eventually damaging the lungs. Also serious and frequent lung infections during the childhood would be a reason for that decease symptoms: - A long-lasting (chronic) cough. - Mucus that comes up when you cough. - Shortness of breath that gets worse when you exercise. - At advanced stages, breath become difficult even when you do simple things like get dressed or fix a meal. - Often lose weight and getting weaker. Treatment: - Quit smoking is the most important step to be done. - Medicines can help to make breath easier."

Synonyms of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOTT)Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease Nontuberculosis Mycobacterium NTMGeneral Discussion Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is a general term for a group of disorders characterized by exposure to specific bacterial germs known as mycobacteria. These germs are found in the water and soil and are common throughout the environment as a whole. They usually do not cause illness. The term ‘nontuberculous’ is used to differentiate these disorders from the mycobacterium that cause tuberculosis (i.e. mycobacterium tuberculosis complex). These disorders also exclude Mycobacterium leprae, the mycobacterium that causes leprosy. In NTM disorders, the severity of infection and the disease course can vary greatly from one person to another. The most common symptoms include a persistent cough, fatigue, weight loss, nightsweats, and occasionally shortness of breath (dyspnea) and coughing up of blood (hemoptysis). Less often, NTM infection can cause skin or soft tissue infections or infection and inflammation of the lymph nodes (lymphadenitis). Most evidence indicates that these infections are not transmitted from one person to another, but are acquired from the environment."

Man has taken the cotton plant for granted, enjoying its benefits without fully understanding its growth. The goal of this factsheet is to help you better understand how a cotton plant grows, so better management practices can be used to produce maximum yields. Seed Germination and Seedling Emergence Seed germination and seedling emergence are the foundation of your total crop. Understanding these activities will help you to lay the groundwork for a vigorous crop. If you closely examine the inside of the cottonseed, you will find all of the essential parts that form the mature plant. There are two well developed cotyledons, that will form the seed leaves which manufacture food for the young seedling. Located between the cotyledons is a structure referred to as the epicotyl which is the shoot that will form the main stem. The next identifiable part is the hypocotyl, this is the first plant part seen above ground in the emergence process. The tip of the small seedling is referred to as the radicle; it is the first structure to emerge from the seedcoat and will ultimately form the root structure of the cotton plant."

"text": "Report Political Process From Administrative State to Constitutional Government December 14, 2012 Over an hour read Download Report Joseph Postell2017-18 Visiting Fellow in American Political Thought Copied Select a Section 1 /0Introduction Part 1: What Is the Administrative State? Part 2: The Problem of the Administrative State Part 3: The Alternative—Constitutional Government Part 4: What Can Be Done? Conclusion Abstract: The administrative state is an assault on constitutional principles—government by consent, the separation of powers, and the rights of individuals—that liberals and conservatives hold dear. The key to reform is that it be grounded in a proper understanding of these principles, not in the hope of immediate short-term gain or narrow self-interest. If we begin from constitutional principles and can communicate those principles and their relevance to the public in a clear manner, the reforms envisioned in this report are not too far from our grasp. It is high time that Americans work together to forge an alternative to the administrative state so that we preserve our constitutional principles for future generations. Over the past 100 years, our government has been transformed from a limited, constitutional, federal republic to a centralized administrative state that for the most part exists outside the structure of the Constitution and wields nearly unlimited power. This administrative state has been constructed as a result of a massive expansion of the national government’s power. When the Founders created our Constitution, they entrusted only limited powers to the national government and specifically enumerated those powers in the Constitution itself. A government that only had to carry out a limited number of functions could do so through the institutions and procedures established by the Constitution."

Man has taken the cotton plant for granted, enjoying its benefits without fully understanding its growth. The goal of this factsheet is to help you better understand how a cotton plant grows, so better management practices can be used to produce maximum yields. Seed Germination and Seedling Emergence Seed germination and seedling emergence are the foundation of your total crop. Understanding these activities will help you to lay the groundwork for a vigorous crop. If you closely examine the inside of the cottonseed, you will find all of the essential parts that form the mature plant. There are two well developed cotyledons, that will form the seed leaves which manufacture food for the young seedling. Located between the cotyledons is a structure referred to as the epicotyl which is the shoot that will form the main stem. The next identifiable part is the hypocotyl, this is the first plant part seen above ground in the emergence process. The tip of the small seedling is referred to as the radicle; it is the first structure to emerge from the seedcoat and will ultimately form the root structure of the cotton plant."

No minimum electrical wiring is required in a detached garage at all, if you do not install electricity to that structure. You have several options in the designs to supply power to the detached structure from your dwelling. You should also refer to a link in this “Home Wiring” site called “ WIRING A SERVICE ”for details involving services and common services serving two or more buildings or structures.

"text": "\"Administrative Law and Procedure (redirected from delegation of authority) Also found in: Dictionary, Acronyms, Wikipedia . Administrative Law and Procedure Administrative law is the body of law that allows for the creation of public regulatory agencies andcontains all of the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern them. It is created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations,orders, and decisions. Administrative procedure constitutes the methods and processes beforeadministrative agencies, as distinguished from judicial procedure, which applies to courts. The Administrative Procedure Act (5U. S. C. A. §§ 551–706 [Supp. 1993]) governs the practice andproceedings before federal administrative agencies. The procedural rules and regulations of mostfederal agencies are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The fundamental challenge of administrative law is in designing a system of checks that willminimize the risks of bureaucratic arbitrariness and overreaching, while preserving for the agenciesthe flexibility that they need in order to act effectively. Administrative law thus seeks to limit thepowers and actions of agencies and to fix their place in our scheme of government and law. It contrasts with traditional notions that the three branches of the U. S. government must be keptseparate, that they must not delegate their responsibilities to bureaucrats, and that the formalities of due process must be observed."

Since the lowest winter temperatures in Indiana average minus 20 degrees to 0 degrees F, tropical hibiscus will not survive its cold winter months. Fortunately, it can grow as an annual. Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) on the other hand, will grow and thrive as a perennial in Indiana. Choose a planting location in full sun, which most hibiscuses prefer. Rake or till to loosen the soil and mix in 3 to 4 inches of organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, into the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Avoid planting hibiscus in low lying and wet soil conditions, such as near a marsh as hibiscuses need well-draining soil Plant the hibiscus in the spring after the last frost, which occurs in mid- to late spring in Indiana."

Symbols surround us in many formats, shapes, sizes, and appearances, forming an inextricable part of our daily lives, yet unlike our spoken languages, a schooling in symbolism is left to the individual initiative. Celtic Symbols and Ancient Symbols and Symbolism - A Magic Language of Love and Strength Even in religious teaching,symbols are often presented as emblems of belonging and on a deeper level frequently represent much more than mere historical artifacts one wears to identify with one's faith. Celtic Symbols and Meanings of Ancient Irish and Norse based signs, sigils and love symbols, witchcraft symbols, and symbols of love are ancient symbols of magic and the zodiac, often used as symbols of strength, power and family unity. Symbols - Representations - Correspondences Animal Symbols, Astrology Symbols, Celtic Symbols, Zodiac and Horoscope, Love Signs, and other Magic Symbols, Emblems, Glyphs, and Tattoo designs we take for granted today as static signs of religious or secular life were created long ago and through modern Iconography have been revealed as representations of our world—our universe—the movements of earth and heaven, symbols of the seasons, and representations of cosmic and earthly deities. Over time, these ancient symbols have acquired layers of increasingly complex meaning, and this evolution of meaning tells us much about how we developed our ideas about the nature of life and the universe. Signs used in modern magick and Western religious traditions such as the Celtic symbols, zodiac symbols, Egyptian symbols, tattoo symbols, dream symbols, kanji symbols, religious symbols, love symbols, ancient symbols, mystic signs and symbols, Greek symbols, Irish symbols and their symbol meanings, share a common ancestry that dates before the creation of writing. These symbols are powerful because they are archetypal—as even cultures that do not share language share an innate understanding of symbols just as the ancient Celts did.

The original draft list comprised the Salento region (which was eventually included in the Apulia). Friuli and Venezia Giulia were separate regions, and Basilicata was named Lucania. Abruzzo and Molise were identified as separate regions in the first draft. They were later merged into Abruzzo e Molise in the final constitution of 1948. They were separated in 1963."

Garibaldi has been called the \"\"Hero of the Two Worlds\"\" because of his military enterprises in Brazil, Uruguay and Europe. He personally commanded and fought in many military campaigns that led eventually to the Italian unification. Garibaldi was appointed general by the provisional government of Milan in 1848, General of the Roman Republic in 1849 by the Minister of War, and led the Expedition of the Thousand on behalf and with the consent of Victor Emmanuel II. His last military campaign took place during the Franco-Prussian War as commander of the Army of the Vosges.

A province is composed of many municipalities, and usually several provinces form a region. The region of Aosta Valley is the only one that, strictly speaking, has no provinces: the administrative functions of its province are provided by the corresponding regional government; however, loosely speaking, it is seen as a single province.

It’s mainly known as the cradle of the Italian mafia, but just thinking of Sicily as ‘mafia-island’ would almost be considered a cultural cruelty. Sicily boasts five of the biggest archeological Unesco sites, has several excellent, Blue Flag-rated beaches and has 11 Michelin-starred restaurants, just to cite a few numerical details. What makes the island different from the rest of Italy is its multicultural society, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. As a result, Sicily is home of a stunning selection of architectural splendors, dating from ancient Greek and Roman times to impressive Baroque cathedrals and monasteries. Historic sights, such as the Val di Noto and Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica, attract visitors from throughout the world. During a visit to the island, you will be surprised by the many facets of Sicily’s enchanting landscapes, often wild and untouched, but always charming in their simplicity. A special mention goes out to Sicilian beaches due to its coasts which surpasses 620 miles (1,000 km) — or even 931 miles (1,500 km), if the smaller islands are included!This ‘top 10 places to visit in Sicily’ (also make sure to check out this Top 10 for Tuscany) starts in the Sicilian capital Palermo, and will take you across the island to Lampedusa, which is the southernmost part of Italy.1. Palermo — The historical markets (Vucciria, Ballarò, il Capo, Borgo Vecchio)If you want to have a taste of the authentic Sicilian life, take a trip to one of Palermo’s markets! Locals and tourists alike come to peruse and shop for fresh vegetables, fish and fruit, possibly tasting the food specialties as breads and cheeses, but definitely taking part in the ritual of strolling around the narrow medieval streets and buying something “slow food km 0”."

"text": "Brief History of the islands of Malta and Gozo Author: Joseph Borg Malta is situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, halfway between Gibraltar and Alexandria, and Sicily and North Africa. Thus it has always been at the cross-roads of the trading and warring routes of this land-locked sea. Malta is chiefly composed of limestone with no hills higher than 300 metres and no rivers. On the South-West side it is guarded by high cliffs whilst on the North-East side the shore is indented with sheltered harbours. These proved to be very attractive to the sailors and navigators that sailed the Mediterranean. The origin of Maltese history goes back to some 4500 years BC, when some people from the neighbouring island of Sicily, who could see the island lying on the horizon, decided to cross the narrow waters to investigate. This obviously could not have happened unless these people had skills in sailing or rowing some form of craft which was large enough to carry with them their belongings, which included such animals as sheep, goats and cattle, as well as seeds like wheat and barley. These people settled on the island and sheltered in the many caves which exist there. The earliest inhabited cave is called 'Ghar-Dalam', the cave of darkness, where remains of these people and their artefacts give us an insight into their way of life. They cultivated the land, growing wheat and barley and practised animal husbandry."

Sicilians are Italians none the less but their darker complexion comes from the \"\"Sicilian Sun\"\", which is very similar to the Sun North Africans are exposed to. So, no they're not black they are the same color as other Italians. Yes, Sicilians are much like other Italians but since Sicily was invaded and held by many other cultures many different bloodlines are in the Sicilian genome. Romans, Greeks, Spanish, Normand, Austrian, French, etc. The Human Genome project found that a good many southern Sicilians are very closely related genetically with the Greeks but not all.

As founder of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution he was well aware of the changeable meteorological temperament of his home, the Isle of Man. The weather can shift from clear blues skies, to torrential rain and back again in an afternoon – which adds to this island’s unpredictable charm. ‘ Tis said that the ancient sea god Manannan Mac Lir lays his cloak of cloud across his isle to protect it from invaders – but modern-day islanders welcome visitors who come in peace any day. … Floating in the Irish Sea about 60 miles off the Lancashire – Cumbria coast, en route to the United States, this tiny island has an ancient history that belies its size. Norse rulers established a system of self-government over a thousand years ago and the Tynwald is still in power today. The islanders enjoy a laid-back approach to life akin to their Gaelic neighbours in nearby Ireland and the Manx phrase traa dy-liooar is similar to mañana in Spain. With so many attractions for people of all ages, a weekend is not nearly long enough. I visited the island as a child and chose to return on a blog trip when I won ‘Britain’s Best Travel Blogger 2011’. Here are my 7 quirky things to do on the Isle of Man.1."

"text": "\"20 February, 2015 - 13:24 mrreese The Ultimate Pirate Branding Symbol - the Origin of the Jolly Roger Pirate lore is a popular topic among many today, with romanticized tales involving adventure on the high seas, camaraderie, and treasure hunting. However, centuries ago, pirates were very real criminals, one of the first examples of organized crime. Traveling by sea, pirates would attack and plunder, killing with disregard. There are many objects of piracy that are used as symbols of the practice today – walking the plank, a wooden leg, an eye patch, a hook for a hand, and a single gold hoop earring. However, the most commonly recognized symbol of piracy throughout the years has been the black flag, with the skull and crossbones design – the Jolly Roger. As a symbol, the Jolly Roger was flown on pirate ships to convey a message to their targets. It was meant to instill fear and to demonstrate that those onboard were of great power. The traditional \"\"Jolly Roger\"\" flag of piracy. Creative Commons The use of pirate flags in general mimics the use of flags on other ships. Throughout maritime history a ship would display a particular flag to convey a message, mainly to indicate where a ship’s allegiance laid."

Why advertise with us The team, who were looking for possible hidden passages within the 4,500-year-old structures, theorise that the higher temperatures could be due to air currents inside the monument, different building materials being used or possible vacant spaces within the pyramid.

"text": "Humanities ›Geography Great Pyramid at Giza One of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World Share Flipboard Email Print Brian Lawrence/Photographer's Choice/Getty Imagesby Jen Rosenberg, Contributing Writer Updated March 07, 2017The Great Pyramid of Giza, located about ten miles southwest of Cairo, was built as a burial site for Egyptian pharaoh Khufu in the 26th century BCE. Standing at 481 feet high, the Great Pyramid was not only the largest pyramid ever built, it remained one of the tallest structures in the world until the late 19th century. Impressing visitors with its massiveness and beauty, it's no surprise that the Great Pyramid at Giza was considered one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Amazingly, the Great Pyramid has withstood the test of time, standing for over 4,500 years; it is the only Ancient Wonder to have survived to the present. Who Was Khufu? Khufu (known in Greek as Cheops) was the second king of the 4th dynasty in ancient Egypt, ruling for about 23 years in the late 26th century BCE. He was the son of Egyptian Pharaoh Sneferu and Queen Hetepheres I. Sneferu remains famous for being the very first pharaoh to build a pyramid. Despite fame for building the second and largest pyramid in Egyptian history, there's not a lot more that we know about Khufu. Only one, extremely tiny (three inch), ivory statue has been found of him, giving us just a glimpse at what he must have looked like. We know that two of his children (Djedefra and Khafre) became pharaohs after him and it is believed that he had at least three wives."

In fact, there are ancient pyramids all around the world, from a number of different cultures and civilisations and representing many different architectural styles and approaches. It’s not surprising to learn therefore that the list of world pyramids really does span the globe. From the famous pyramids of Egypt to Mesoamerican pyramids, Chinese tomb pyramids, South American step pyramids, Mesopotamian ziggurats, North American mound pyramids and even Roman ceremonial pyramids, these ancient structures pop up across the globe right through the centuries in cultures who often have no connection to one-another. While some examples of the pyramids of the world are accepted by all to be pyramids in the classic sense, others are the subject of debate. It has even been claimed that the biggest pyramids of all are found in Bosnia, though much discussion still rages about that particular issue …So while those looking to visit pyramids may want to start with Egypt’s famous ancient pyramids, there’s also a wealth of other countries to consider.

Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

The only remaining member of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World, it is believed to have been constructed over a 20-year period concluding around 2560 B. C. E. as a tomb for the Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (Cheops). It is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu. The enormity of the Great Pyramid poses a challenge for any who would attempt to explain how it could have been constructed. It is estimated to comprise some 2.4 million stone blocks averaging 2.5 tons (2.27 metric tons) each, plus additional blocks weighing considerably more lying deep within the pyramid where they serve special functions. Its height when new, 480.9 feet (146 m), would have been within 74 feet (21.3 m) of the top, 555 feet (169.7 m), of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, which was built 4,444 years later. The average weight of the blocks used in the pyramid and the monument is roughly the same, but the Great Pyramid comprises roughly 65 times as many blocks as the Washington Monument.

Additional imponderables are the time and effort involved in quarrying that many stones and transporting them to the site, some from a quarry 8 miles (12.8 km) away across the river and others from a quarry more than five hundred miles (800 km) away; preparing the 13-acre site (5.2 hectares) to host the pyramid would have been its own major feat, and all would have needed to be carefully coordinated. A number of alternative theories have been proposed to explain how the Great Pyramid was built."

"text": "\"What Were the Main Characteristics of a Pyramid? The early pyramids were built differently from the later ones. The monumental pyramids of the Old Kingdom, for instance, were built out of stone blocks, while those of the later Middle Kingdom were smaller and were typically made out of mud brick cased in limestone. The early structures usually had a core of local limestone, cased in an outer layer of better quality limestone, or occasionally granite. Granite was also traditionally used for the royal chambers insided the pyramid. Up to 2.5 million limestone blocks and 50,000 granite blocks might be used to construct a single pyramid. The average weight might be anything up to 2.5 tons per block, with some very large megaliths weighing up to 200 tons. The capstone at the top of the structure usually consisted of basalt or granite, and if plated with gold, silver or electrum (a mixture of both), would dazzle observers with its reflection of the sun. Based upon the excavation of a series of workers' cemeteries discovered during the early 1990s, archeologists now think that the pyramids were built by tens of thousands of salaried workers and craftsmen, who were lodged in huge encampments nearby. Deep inside each pyramid was the King's Chamber, which contained the mummified body of the dead Pharaoh, placed inside a precious sarcophagus."

Flag How long did it take to build a pyramid? Answer by Terrie Edgar Confidence votes 109It's been proven, time & again, that slaves did not build the pyramids. During the time of flooding, a yearly occurance, farmers unable to work the flooded land would work on the pyramids, or any other national monument in construction, as manual labour. There are records of what they were fed (ie. onions, garlic, bread, beer) Other artisans (artists, carvers, architects) lived in villages near the costruction zones. Based on the ruins of the villages, these individuals were respected and well paid. The time it took depended on the size of the pyramid, materials used, and the intricacy designed into its interior. Experts theorize that the Pyramid of Khufu took approximately 20 to 25 years. It took 20-30 years, for 10,000 slaves to build the great pyramid of King Khufu."

Hence, he moved his court and residence farther north, where his prospectors had located a commanding rock cliff, overlooking present day Giza, appropriate for a towering pyramid. This rock cliff was in the northernmost part of the first Lower Egyptian nome, Ineb-hedj (\"\"the white fortress\"\"). Giza is located only a few kilometers south of Cairo, several hundred meters from the last houses in the southernmost part of the city proper, where a limestone cliff rises abruptly from the other side of a sandy desert plateau. The ancient Egyptians called this place imentet, \"\"The West\"\" or kher neter, \"\"the necropolis\"\". Clickable Image Mapof Giza According to a treatise on the geology of the pyramid plateau by Thomas Aigner, it is part of the Middle Eocene Mokattam Formation, which dips slightly southeast, comprising limestone and dolomites. To the south, the Mokattam and dolomitic limestones are overlain by the marly limestone and sandy marls of the Upper Eocene Maadi Formation. To the north and east, the Mokattam Formation is characterized by two steep escarpments about 30 meters (92 feet) high. It continues to the Great Sphinx ditch, which must at one time have formed a high peak."

"text": "A pyramid is a structure or monument, usually with a quadrilateral base, which rises to a triangular point. In the popular imagination, pyramids are the three lonely structures on the Giza plateau at the edge of the Sahara Desert but there are over seventy pyramids in Egypt stretching down the Nile River Valley and, in their time, they were the centers of great temple complexes. Although largely associated exclusively with Egypt, the pyramid shape was first used in ancient Mesopotamia in the mud-brick structures known as ziggurats, and continued to be used by the Greeks and Romans. Pyramids are also found south of Egypt in the Nubian kingdom of Meroe, in the cities of the Maya throughout Central and South America, and, in a variation on the form, in China. Egyptian Pyramids Known as 'mr' or 'mir' by the Egyptians, the pyramid was a royal tomb and considered the place of ascent for the spirit of the deceased pharaoh. From the top point of the pyramid, it was thought, the soul would travel to the after-life of the Field of Reeds and, if it so chose, could easily return to earth (the high pinnacle of the pyramid, or a life-like statue of the king, serving as a beacon the soul would recognize). Early on, the simple mastaba served as a tomb for the common people and royalty alike but in the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150-2613 BCE) the pyramid design was developed under the reign of Djoser of the Third Dynasty (c. 2670-2613 BCE). Djoser's chief architect Imhotep (c. 2667-2600 BCE) decided to try something which had never been attempted before: to build a colossal monument entirely of stone. Instead of the simple mastaba tomb, he designed and engineered a process whereby the earlier mud-brick mastabas would be built of limestone block and would be placed on top of one another, each level a little smaller than the one beneath, to create a pyramid. This series of large, stone, stacked mastabas, carefully built in a graduated design, became the first pyramid in Egypt - the famous Step Pyramid at Saqqara."

The English and American Freemasons have adopted in their instructions the more homely appellation of Ruffians. The fabricators of the high Degrees adopted a variety of names for these Assassins (see Assassins of the Third Degree), but the original names are preserved in the instructions of the York and American Rites. There is no question that has so much perplexed Masonic antiquaries as the true derivation and meaning of these three names. In their present form, they are confessedly uncouth and without apparent signification.. Yet it is certain that we can trace them in that form to the earliest appearance of the legend of the Third Degree, and it is equally certain that at the time of their adoption some meaning must have been attached to them. Brother Mackey was convinced that this must have been a very simple one, and one that would have been easily comprehended by the whole of the Craft, who were in the constant use of them. Attempts, it is true, have been made to find the root of these three names in some recondite reference to the Hebrew names of God. But there is in Doctor Mackey's opinion, no valid authority for any such derivation. In the first place, the character and conduct of the supposed possessors of these names preclude the idea of any congruity and appropriateness between them and any of the divine names. And again, the literary condition of the Craft at the time of the invention of the names equally precludes the probability that any names would have been fabricated of a recondite signification, and which could not have been readily understood and appreciated by the ordinary class of Freemasons who were to use them."

A great deal has been written about them, but they remain elusive, partly because clues to their true identity are subtle and few -and partly because the story can be misleading. A cursory reading could lead us to believe the ruffians were members of the Craft. But a closer look suggests otherwise. The earliest known version of the story, published in Masonry Dissected in 1730, describes them only as 'Three Ruffians, suppos'd to be Three Fellow- Crafts'. This isn't much to go on, but it does provide an important clue: the phrase 'suppos'd to be' implies that the ruffians were not actually masons. But if they weren't, we need to understand who they were and what they were trying to accomplish. A Bit of History The answers may lie in the history of the Hiramic legend itself. It is found in the third degree, anew working composed during the mid-1720s. Like every innovation, the third degree was undoubtedly a product of the members' assessment of their needs."

I often hear some Christians say, “I don’t agree with Masonry’s teachings, but Masonry does good works for our community.” We can all agree that Masons do good works, but this doesn’t settle the issue. Masonry’s good works stem from Masonic teaching, so we must consider its teaching.

C. offered its own rambunctious version. Now the C. S. C. artistic director, Christopher Martin, has taken the play for an altered, ragtag ride. As a framework, he uses actors as a chorus, somewhat in the manner of ''Nicholas Nickleby.'' Urchins loll around the stage, reacting to the dialogue and moving scenery. Though not harmful, this is at best unnecessary."

"text": "Jennifer Quail, Racing Partnership Member, Ex-Racehorse Keeper Answered Jun 9, 2017 · Upvoted by Lorri Robinson, horse owner and breeder for 40 years, Foundation Appaloosas and English Shires · Author has 3.6k answers and 5.3m answer views ROFL, a filly who won the Triple Crown would be worth a fortune, or rather her first few foals would be (until/unless they stayed with the pattern of top race mares producing middling/dud foals.) And nothing is stopping someone with a good filly from entering her in the races she’d need to run in to get the points to start in the Kentucky Derby (the current system uses points, and the races males run in for them are not sex-restricted.) Songbird, last year, quite reasonably could have been entered in the Derby if her owners had opted to. The problem is, in the just about 100 years since the “Triple Crown” has been a thing (even the designated first TC winner, Sir Barton, was called such retroactively as there’s no official connection between three stakes run in separate jurisdictions-the Derby is the only one with any special entry qualifications and that’s just because EVERYONE wants in—for the Preakness and Belmont your horse just needs to be three and nominated or supplemented) twelve colts have managed to string together all the “jewels.” In that time, several fillies have taken stabs at each race. In the history of the Kentucky Derby, the first race that a horse must win for the Triple Crown, three fillies (Regret in 1915, Genuine Risk in 1980, and Winning Colors in 1988) have won it, meaning only those three would have had a chance to win a Triple Crown. Of the three fillies who’ve had the chance, Regret ran when there was no real idea of a “Triple Crown” and was not entered in the Preakness (though that year it was won by the filly Rhine Maiden, the only year where two of the three races were won by fillies), Winning Colors ran third in the Preakness and sixth in the Belmont, both times behind rapidly-improving Risen Star (a more likely lost opportunity for a TC was Risen Star failing to win the Derby.) The only one of the three who came close was Genuine Risk, who was subject of what has been called a “mugging” in the Preakness when the eventual winner came out on the turn and carried her wide with him. ( Her jockey claimed foul, but the stewards on review let the result stand and the Maryland Racing Commission upheld the decision. And honestly unless there was contact and deliberate hard interference at that, taking a winner down for drifting would be very unusual.)"

Photograph Source: Public Domainby Kennedy Hickman Updated January 24, 2017The causes of the Civil War may be traced to a complex mix of factors, some of which can be traced back to the earliest years of American colonization. Principal among the issues were the following: Slavery Slavery in the United States first began in Virginia in 1619. By the end of the American Revolution, most northern states had abandoned the institution and it was made illegal in many parts of the North in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Conversely, slavery continued to grow and flourish in the plantation economy of the South where the cultivation of cotton, a lucrative but labor intensive crop, was on the rise. Possessing a more stratified social structure than the North, the South's slaves were largely held by a small percentage of the population though the institution enjoyed broad support across class lines. In 1850, the population of the South was around 6 million of which approximately 350,000 owned slaves. In the years prior to the Civil War almost all sectional conflicts revolved around the slave issue. This began with the debates over the three-fifths clause at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 which dealt with how slaves would be counted when determining a state's population and as a result, its representation in Congress. It continued with the Compromise of 1820 (Missouri Compromise) which established the practice of admitting a free state (Maine) and slave state (Missouri) to the union around the same time to maintain regional balance in the Senate."

For many years the Great Plains area was labeled the Great American Desert, implying that the lands offered little in the way of economic benefits. The federal government relocated a number of Native American tribes to the Plains as further testimony to the area’s lack of appeal to white settlers. Attitudes began to change as people traveled westward across the Santa Fe Trail and discovered the area’s richness. However, the most important factor that brought Kansas into the national consciousness was the strife that occurred following the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act. Under the terms of the act, two territories were to be formed, Kansas and Nebraska. One would presumably become a slave state and the other a free state. Popular sovereignty would prevail and it was assumed that slave-owning Southerners would occupy Kansas and make it a slave state, while free state advocates would settle Nebraska. Things worked out as anticipated in Nebraska, but not in Kansas. Influential outsiders decided to make an example of Kansas."

Jefferson Davis is elected president. Davis, a native Mississippian, had served in the Senate as a leading Southern advocate and was Secretary of War for President Franklin Pierce. Over the course of the Civil War, Davis will face the conflict between the confederate ideology of states' rights and the need for a strong, central government to lead the war against President Abraham Lincoln and the Union.03/04/1861: Abraham Lincoln inaugurated Abraham Lincoln is inaugurated as the sixteenth President of the United States, and the nation's first Republican President. Many Southerners view his victory, determined by the free states, as the final blow in decades of sectional conflict. Between the time of Lincoln's election and his inauguration, seven states from the lower South secede. In his inauguration speech, Lincoln attempts to pacify the South by stating that he will not interfere with slavery where it exists but that the secession of states from the Union is illegal. He warns that he will respond to violence with force.03/11/1861: Confederate Congress adopts Confederate Constitution The Confederate Congress unanimously adopts the Confederate Constitution, which declares the sovereignty of states and forbids the passage of any bill which outlaws slavery.04/12/1861: Fort Sumter Responding to Lincoln's attempt to resupply Fort Sumter (one of the last remaining federal stations in the South), South Carolina's Confederate batteries, under the command of General P.

The United States Congress and/or President can only legally establish an \"\"official\"\" holiday for its \"\"federal\"\" employees and the District of Columbia.

As an act of confirmation, it is possible as well that a city may enact an ordinance regarding the celebration of the Fourth of July or any other holiday. As stated in the World Almanac (1998, p. 315), however, \"\"in practice, most states observe the federal legal public holiday.\"\" The first \"\"official\"\" state celebration of the Fourth as recognized under resolve of a legislature occurred in Massachusetts in 1781."

Answer by Snaddre Confidence votes 124The Norwegian flag had been discussed and planned and drafted since the constitution was written in 1814. The three colors we have were not the only propositions: green was also mentioned as a neutral color nobody could take offence of! The final flag was a compromise that everybody could agree on; Danes, Swedes or Norwegian patriots. The red basic color was taken from Denmark, the blue cross was meant to represent Sweden, and the white frame around the cross made it the tricolor of freedom and placed Norway among the other free nations. Another explanation of the white color, is that several Norwegian kings had used this color in their banners and weapons. Update: The colors where to represent the colors from Denmark and Sweden, also, they where taken from other democratic countries, especially the French revolution. Therefor, it's safe to say that white, blue and red means the same in Norway as for other democratic countries with those colors: Liberté, égalité, fraternité (Freedom (blue), equality (white), brothership (red))111 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Convinced that their way of life, based on slavery, was irretrievably threatened by the election of President Abraham Lincoln (November 1860), the seven states of the Deep South (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas) seceded from the Union during the following months. When the war began with the firing on Fort Sumter (April 12, 1861), they were joined by four states of the upper South (Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia). A permanent government at Richmond, Va., replaced a provisional government, established in February 1861 at Montgomery, Alabama, a year later. President Jefferson Davis and Vice President Alexander H. Stephens headed the Confederacy, operating under a structure similar to that of the United States. The new nation soon acquired other symbols of sovereignty, such as its own stamps and a flag known as the Stars and Bars. The main concern of the Confederate States was raising and equipping an army. The Southern Congress first voted to permit direct volunteering up to 400,000, but conscription was begun in April 1862. The total number of Confederate soldiers is estimated at 750,000, as opposed to twice that many Federal troops. ( Confederate population stood at about 5,500,000 whites and 3,500,000 black slaves, as against 22,000,000 Northerners.)"

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.

"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."

Spain has had four significant flags during its occupation of the New World. The royal banner of Castile and León, bearing two lions and two castles, was used as a state flag and ensign from around 1230 to around 1516. From 1516 to May 28, 1785, Spain used a state flag and ensign consisting of a modified red saltire on white to signify the house of Burgundy. A variant of the state flag and ensign 1580 to 1640 depicted the complete Spanish coat of arms on a white field."

"text": "Dennis Macdonald via Getty Images Excuse me, for I thought when I woke up this morning the year was 2014. Yet a headline today reads “University Plans to Finally Remove Confederate Flags From Campus.” In the article we learn that Washington and Lee University is leaving the age of muskets to join the rest of the world. That a confederate flag is flying anywhere is an affront to all Americans, at least those who live in the 21st century. Southerners claim a deep national pride in the good old United States of America but ironically celebrate their ancestors’ efforts to dissolve the very union of states whose flag they now so proudly fly. They honor a campaign to dissolve our country but claim the mantle of patriot, wrapping themselves in the very Stars and Stripes the South sought to leave behind. That makes no sense. The contradiction is always swept under the rug, but that must stop. Now is a good time to close this chapter of hypocrisy and inconsistency. A southern loyalist cannot be a patriot; the two ideals are mutually incompatible."

The flag has two crimson bars in an X pattern that is similar to the St. Andrews Cross. There has been much debate since the creation of the flag over whether or not it is supposed to be rectangular or square shaped. It was not until 1987 that this matter was settled by then Attorney General Don Siegelman, who determined that since the flag had been reproduced so many times in the shape of a rectangle that it should continue in that manner from that point onwards. ALASKA STATE FLAGThe dark blue flag of Alaska was originally created in 1927 by thirteen year old John Bell Benson who submitted his design as part of a state-wide contest. Young Bensons’ flag beat out 142 other entrants, most of which are on display at the Alaska Historical Library & Museum. This beautiful flag contains eight gold stars, seven of which form the Big Dipper and the eighth is representative of the North Star. ARIZONA STATE FLAGThe magnificent setting sun flag of Arizona incorporates symbolism from both the past and the present. The yellow and red alternating stripes represent the original thirteen colonies and the star in the middle of the flag is copper in color to show Arizona’s status as the country’s largest producer of copper even today. The colors utilized are also symbolic, with the red and blue being the state colors of Arizona while the red and yellow are reminiscent of the Spanish influence on the state."

The commitment of our local, state, and federal partners to ensure the long-term sustainability of our coastal areas is greatly appreciated. ”In 2013, a U. S. District Court approved two plea agreements resulting from the criminal charges against BP and Transocean as responsible parties to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The settlement directs a total of $2.54 billion to NFWF to establish a Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund (GEBF) over a five-year period to support ecological projects in all five Gulf States. A total of $356 million will be paid into the GEBF for conservation projects dedicated to the State of Alabama. Alabama 2017 Projects include: Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Acquisition – $5.9 million This project proposes the acquisition of a 251-acre property identified by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as among its highest priorities in the state of Alabama. The parcel will be deeded to the USFWS for inclusion and management within Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge (BSNWR). The property represents an important priority area within the authorized acquisition boundary of the Refuge and includes scrub/shrub, pine flatwood, saltwater marsh, and tidal creek habitats, with permanent and semi-permanent wetlands scattered across the parcel."

"text": "\"T he super-abundant House Sparrow, found in many parts of the world, goes by lots of common names. In Italy it's the Passera Europea, in Germany the Haussperling, in France the Moineau Domestique, and even experienced North American birders are often uncertain as to whether to call them House Sparrows or English Sparrows. However, everyone in the whole wide world agrees that the bird known by all the above names is also known by the name of Passer domesticus. This is the House Sparrow's scientific name. Sometimes the scientific name is called the Latin name, though often scientific names are based on classical Greek instead of Latin. The more technical way to refer to the scientific name is as the binomial. THE NAME'S STRUCTUREIn print, scientific names should be either italicized or underlined. Scientific names consist of two parts:the genus name (the name's first part)the species name (the second part)Later we'll see that these names have a whole other dimension, but right now it's enough to know that the genus is \"\"bigger\"\" than the species. One genus may contain many species. For example, in North America five species of titmouse are recognized, and they are all members of the genus Baeolophus."

"text": "02 Adult Plumage03 Adult Plumage Tufted Titmouse Baeolophus bicolor A little gray bird with an echoing voice, the Tufted Titmouse is common in eastern deciduous forests and a frequent visitor to feeders. The large black eyes, small, round bill, and brushy crest gives these birds a quiet but eager expression that matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders. When a titmouse finds a large seed, you'll see it carry the prize to a perch and crack it with sharp whacks of its stout bill. Interesting Information The Black-crested Titmouse of Texas and Mexico has at times been considered just a form of the Tufted Titmouse. The two species hybridize where they meet, but the hybrid zone is narrow and stable over time. They differ slightly in the quality of their calls, and show genetic differences as well. Unlike many chickadees, Tufted Titmouse pairs do not gather into larger flocks outside the breeding season. Instead, most remain on the territory as a pair. Frequently one of their young from that year remains with them, and occasionally other juveniles from other places will join them. Rarely a young titmouse remains with its parents into the breeding season and will help them raise the next year's brood."

"text": "\"What’s the origin of the expression “cold turkey”? March 12, 1993Dear Cecil: Why, when someone stops using a drug abruptly, do they call it going \"\"cold turkey\"\"? Michael W., Washington, D. C. Cecil replies: Some say it’s because heroin addicts undergoing withdrawal are so pale and covered with goose bumps their skin looks like that of an uncooked turkey. As with most good stories, however, this appears to be crapola. “ Cold turkey,” which dates from 1916, is related to “talk turkey,” meaning to cut the comedy and talk frankly. Similarly, when you go cold turkey, you dispense with the preliminaries and get right down to it. Why turkey rather than crested titmouse, say, is not clear, but perhaps it was because the turkey, as your standard U. S. game fowl, recalled the no-bull simplicity of frontier life.

"text": "What Do Titmice Eat? Most titmice eat insects, spiders, snails, various berries, acorns, and seeds. There are five species of titmice in North America: Black-crested Titmouse, Juniper Titmouse, Oak Titmouse, Bridled Titmouse, and Tufted Titmouse. The most widely distributed and only titmouse in mid-Michigan is the Tufted Titmouse. Found foraging in trees, often with flocks of chickadees, most Tufted Titmice live their entire life within a few miles of their birthplace. Tufted Titmouse Baeolophus bicolor Both males and females have white undersides, gray backs, rusty-brown sides, pointed crests on their heads, and large dark eyes. The Tufted Titmouse is very appealing visitor to the feeder. They are attracted mainly to feeders that offer nuts or sunflower seeds. They are active birds often seen flitting about in trees and hanging upside down while searching beneath twigs for insects. They are active during the daytime and do not migrate extensively, remaining in residence throughout the winter."

"text": "\"Pollinators and Birds | Sustainable Gardening Plant/Animal Relationships By BBG Staff | December 1, 1994Plants and animals evolved together, so it is not surprising that there are many complex plant/animal relationships. This process of interdependent evolution of two or more species is called coevolution. Some relationships are beneficial to both parties, while others have a clear benefit for one at the expense, or even death, of the other. Four important plant/animal interactions are explored here: plant/herbivore, plant/pollinator, plant/disperser, and other examples of mutualism. Plant/Herbivore Relationships Herbivory is an interaction in which a plant or portions of the plant are consumed by an animal. At the microscopic scale, herbivory includes the bacteria and fungi that cause disease as they feed on plant tissue. Microbes that break down dead plant tissue are also specialized herbivores. Browsers and grazers, from aphids and caterpillars to deer and bison, are more familiar herbivores. Even insects and animals that eat seeds are considered herbivores. More: Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a habitat where herons hunt for crayfish, monarchs feed on milkweed, and woodpeckers nest and forage for insects."

A common adaptation the development of ways to store water in the roots, stems, leaves or fruit. Plants that store water in this way are called succulents, one of which is the cactus. Some plants have developed very long roots that go deep into the ground to reach underground water. Others have developed spreading root systems lying just below the surface and stretching widely. This gives the plant many tiny roots that capture water when it rains. Some adaptations are unique."

As an isthmus it connects North America with South America, comprising the following countries (from north to south): Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. 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.

Graduate study, travel, work make me an expert in benthics, European languages, wildlife mapping, world fauna and flora. Belize and Guyana as former British colonies and Suriname as a former Dutch colony have many cultural ties to islands [the West Indies] colonized by the British and Dutch in the Caribbean Sea. The Caribbean Sea washes upon Belize's coastline. All three countries belong to the economic organization Caribbean Community [ CARICOM ]. CARICOM's headquarters are in Georgetown, Guyana. All three countries also belong to the Association of Caribbean States [ ACS ]. The ACS emphasizes the Caribbean region to promote cooperation in natural disasters, tourism, trade, and transport.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Because Belize just isn't like the U. S. A. Or Canada. It does have cheap rum, awe-inspiring ruins, beautiful Caribbean seas, and much more. But the rules are different. The people who make and enforce the rules are different. Sometimes there are no rules. Sometimes there is a set of rules for you, and a different one for everyone else. In a letter to the editor of The Reporter, a weekly newspaper in Belize City, a U.

"text": "The cheapest way to get to Belize By Lorenzo Gonzalez on January 21, 2015 in Things to Do & See Flights to Belize aren’t cheap but if you’re traveling from the US or Canada there is an option that will save you some money. What you must do is fly into Cancun, Mexico and catch the overnight ADO Bus to Belize City. It is also possible to rent a car at the airport (don’t forget to get vehicle documents to cross the border) or hire a private transfer but at $616.00 pesos/ $48.00 USD, the bus is so much more economical. Related: Belize on the cheap + backpacking guide + money saving tips When I went in December 2014, with $200.00 I flew from Toronto to Cancun on Air Canada and when it was time to come back, I had to pay $605.00 from Belize City to Toronto with a 5 hour delay in Atlanta. As you can see there’s a huge difference. I’ve flown into Cancun a few times and usually take a bus to Playa del Carmen and spend a couple days there before heading to Belize but this time I decided not to take the regular detour because I wanted to be in San Ignacio for Christmas. Here’s how the journey went: My direct flight from Toronto took 4 hours but for the lucky few that are flying from the Southern United States it is much closer. Houston to Cancun is 2 hours and 20 minutes and from Miami it is only an 1 hour and 20 minutes. Getting off the plane you’ll notice the airport is very busy and well developed. The only immediate difference that will let you know you’re in Mexico (the tropics) is the humidity."

The rainy season is from May to November, and the dry season from February through April. In Belize City, high temperatures average from 80 F to 88 F and lows from 66 F to 75 F. May and June are usually the warmest months, and June and October the wettest. In general, the southern coast is rainier than northern coastal areas, given that the rain forest is located in the south. Because of high humidity, you’re likely to feel hotter than the thermometer indicates unless you live in an area on the coast where there is a cooling sea breeze. Currency: The Belize dollar is officially pegged to the U. S. dollar at a rate of $1 = 2 BZD. Language: Although English is the official language of Belize, there are many places in the country where Spanish and English are both spoken.

They live in the same regions of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras as their ancestors and retain many of their ancient traditions. Mayan history reaches back some 4,000 years to what is called the Preclassic period, when civilization first began in Central America. However, it was during what came to be known as the Classic period—from roughly AD 250 to 900—that Mayan culture reached its peak and the Maya achieved their celebrated advances in architecture, mathematics, agriculture, astronomy, art, and other areas. They built spectacular temples and palaces, developed several calendars—including one reaching back to 13 August, 3114 BC —and evolved a numerical system capable of recording a number that today would be expressed as 142 followed by 36 zeros. They developed a complex system of writing and, beginning in 50 BC , were the first people in the Western hemisphere to keep written historical records. Around AD 900 the construction of buildings and stelae—stone slabs inscribed with names and dates—ceased abruptly, and the advanced lowland civilization of the Maya collapsed, creating a mystery that has fascinated scholars for many years. Possible causes that have been proposed include warfare, drought, famine, and disease. The Spanish campaign to subdue the Maya and conquer their lands began around 1520 and ended nearly 200 years later when Tayasal, the last remaining Mayan region (in present-day Guatemala), fell to the conquistadors in 1697. The Spanish seized Mayan lands and enslaved their populations, sending many to labor in the mines of northern Mexico."

"text": "The Ural Mountains are famous for the fact that they serve as a natural divider between the two continents: Europe and Asia. The Ural Mountains begin where the East European Plain ends. Immediately east of the Urals begins Siberia. The western slopes of the mountains are still in Europe, but from the foot of the eastern slopes of the Urals starts Asia. The length of this mountain range is about 2000 km and the width is in the range of 150 kilometers. The Ural Mountains were formed simultaneously with the Altai, around 350 million years ago, in the place of collision of two continental plates. But the forces that raised the Altai Mountains to a considerable height, in the case with the Ural Mountains were weaker and that is why the Ural Mountains are twice as low as the Altai Mountains. But there is also a positive aspect of these weak forces: there are fewer earthquakes in the Urals. The Ural Mountains do not simply divide Europe and Asia, but they also act as a border between the different climatic zones: a milder continental climate of the East European Plain in the west of the Ural Mountains and a continental climate of the Western Siberia from the eastern side of the mountains with temperatures down to minus 40 degree Celsius or even minus 50 degrees. People came to inhabit these places much later than other regions of the earth: during the early Paleolithic period, about 75,000 years ago."

"text": "Russia Table of Contents Geographers traditionally divide the vast territory of Russia into five natural zones: the tundra zone; the taiga, or forest, zone; the steppe, or plains, zone; the arid zone; and the mountain zone. Most of Russia consists of two plains (the East European Plain and the West Siberian Plain), two lowlands (the North Siberian and the Kolyma, in far northeastern Siberia), two plateaus (the Central Siberian Plateau and the Lena Plateau to its east), and a series of mountainous areas mainly concentrated in the extreme northeast or extending intermittently along the southern border. Topography The East European Plain encompasses most of European Russia. The West Siberian Plain, which is the world's largest, extends east from the Urals to the Yenisey River. Because the terrain and vegetation are relatively uniform in each of the natural zones, Russia presents an illusion of uniformity. Nevertheless, Russian territory contains all the major vegetation zones of the world except a tropical rain forest. About 10 percent of Russia is tundra, or treeless, marshy plain. The tundra is Russia's northernmost zone, stretching from the Finnish border in the west to the Bering Strait in the east, then running south along the Pacific coast to the northern Kamchatka Peninsula. The zone is known for its herds of wild reindeer, for so-called white nights (dusk at midnight, dawn shortly thereafter) in summer, and for days of total darkness in winter. The long, harsh winters and lack of sunshine allow only mosses, lichens, and dwarf willows and shrubs to sprout low above the barren permafrost (see Glossary)."

Several slightly different conventions are in use. The number of continents is most commonly considered seven but may range as low as four when the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are each considered a single continent. According to the definition of a continent in the strict sense, an island cannot be part of any continent, but by convention and in practice most major islands are associated with a continent. There are three overland boundaries subject to definition:between Europe and Asia (dividing Eurasia ): along the Turkish Straits, the Caucasus and the Urals (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River)between Asia and Africa (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia ): at the Isthmus of Suezbetween North America and South America (dividing the Americas ): the Isthmus of Panama While the isthmus between Asia and Africa and that between North and South America are today navigable, via the Suez and Panama canals, respectively, diversions and canals of human origin generally are not accepted on their own accord as continent-defining boundaries; the Suez Canal happens to traverse the isthmus between the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, dividing Asia and Africa. The remaining boundaries concern the association of islands and archipelagos with specific continents, notably:the delineation of Southeast Asia from Australasiathe delineation between Africa, Europe and Asia in the Mediterranean Seathe delineation between Asia and Europe in the Arctic Oceanthe delineation between Europe and North America in the Atlantic Oceanthe delineation between North and South America in the Caribbean Seathe delineation of Asia from North America in the North Pacific Ocean Contents [ hide ]1 Europe and Africa2 Europe and Asia2.1 History2.2 Modern definition2.3 Islands3 Europe and North America3.1 Islands4 Africa and Asia5 North and South America5.1 Mainland5.2 Islands6 Asia and North America7 The Americas and Oceania8 Asia and Oceania9 Antarctica10 See also11 References Europe and Africa [ edit]The Mediterranean Sea The Atlantic Ocean around the boundary The European and African mainlands are non-contiguous, and the delineation between these continents is thus merely a question of which islands are to be associated with which continent.

The Portuguese Atlantic island possession of the Azores is 1,368 km (850 mi) from Europe and 1,507 km (936 mi) from Africa, and is usually grouped with Europe if grouped with any continent.

The country features a number of important rivers that drain into several bodies of water, including the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Pacific Ocean. Rivers were the highways of ancient cultures, so Russia's most important cities naturally sit on the banks of its main rivers. Volga River The Volga River is the most important river in Russia. Not only is it the longest river in Europe, but the Volga is also the cradle of Russian civilization. Approximately half of the country's 20 largest cities are in the Volga basin, including the capital of Moscow. End to end, the river's length nearly matches the width of the continental US, yet the Volga is entirely self-contained in Russia.

The earth’s surface is constantly moving, a few centimeters a year, with continents riding the drifting geologic plates. Where the plates collide, under or next to a continent, the crust thickens into mountains. Continental and ocean-floor rocks are crumpled and thrust over each other, sometimes along with slices of the mantle from under the ocean floor, and often pierced with volcanoes that erupt masses of molten material squeezed out of deeply buried crust. As shown in the map below, all south-central Eurasia is festooned with mountain ranges. A succession of smaller landmasses slamming into the southern edge of Eurasia have raised up many mountain ranges: the Himalayan complex, the Tien Shan, the Caucasus, and the Alps, among many others.

Credit: Ayhan Altun Moment Getty Images Full Answer The Bosphorus is a narrow straight that connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles is another narrow strait on the south side of the Sea of Mamara that connects it to the Aegean Sea. The Caucasus is a narrow bridge of land between the Caspian and Black Seas that includes many small republics with close ties to Russia, including Azerbaijan and Georgia. Finally, the Ural Mountains are a long mountain range in Russia that stretch from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Ural River in the south. Russia lies on both sides of the Europe/Asia line."

However, where to draw that line is extremely controversial. Indeed, it’s hard to find two people who agree on which countries are in Eastern Europe. Back in the good old Cold War days, defining Eastern Europe was easy: it was made up of all those losers who were on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain (mouse over the map on the right). Eastern Europe had those backward, communist countries which were frozen in the Stone Age. Because the world had such a low opinion of Eastern Europe, nowadays nobody wants to admit that they live there. For example, let’s just look at the Baltic countries. I’ve met Estonians who assert that they are in Northern Europe, Latvians who proclaim that they are in Central Europe, and Lithuanians who argue that they are in Western Europe!If you were to believe everyone you talked to, you would conclude that Eastern Europe just doesn’t exist!"

However, Europe and Asia are parts of the same landmass (Eurasia) and thus, from a strictly geographic standpoint, would be considered the same continent.

The northernmost Polar Urals extend some 240 miles from Mount Konstantinov Kamen in the northeast to the Khulga River in the southeast; most mountains rise to 3,300-3,600 feet (1,000-1,100 metres) above sea level, although the highest peak, Mount Payer, reaches 4,829 feet. The next stretch, the Nether-Polar Urals, extends for more than 140 miles south to the Shchugor River. This section contains the highest peaks of the entire range, including Mount Narodnaya (6,217 feet [1,895 metres]) and Mount Karpinsk (6,161 feet). These first two sections are typically Alpine and are strewn with glaciers and heavily marked by permafrost. Farther south come the Northern Urals, which stretch for more than 340 miles to the Usa River in the south; most mountains top 3,300 feet, and the highest peak, Mount Telpos-Iz, rises to 5,305 feet. Many of the summits are flattened, the remnants of ancient peneplains (eroded surfaces of large area and slight relief) uplifted by geologically recent tectonic movements. In the north, intensive weathering has resulted in vast \"\"seas of stone\"\" on mountain slopes and summits. The lower Central Urals, extending more than 200 miles to the Ufa River, rarely exceed 1,600 feet, though the highest peak, Mount Sredny Baseg, rises to 3,261 feet.

"text": "Indigenous Languages of Siberia: An Overview Oct 9, 2014 by Asya Pereltsvaig [This post was originally published in March 2012]On the map of the 6,909 living languages listed in the Ethnologue database (see map on the left), Siberia is mostly empty, with fewer dots than European Russia or the United States. Along with the neighboring region stretching from western China through Kazakhstan, it is the least linguistically diverse place in the world. Many of its 45 languages, moreover, are spoken by low and relentlessly declining numbers, and most are now considered endangered to some extent. Speakers of a typical Siberian language are scattered over vast and scarcely populated territory. As can be seen from the second Ethnologue map, these groups are typically settled along the major Siberian rivers – Ob’, Yenisey, Lena – and their tributaries. Few groups have penetrated deeper into the taiga or tundra, and many of the less-frigid areas in the headways of these rivers have been settled by the Russians, as well as Russified Ukrainians and Germans. Although Siberia is land of little linguistic diversity, the languages that it does possess present a number of interesting issues. Scholars continue to disagree on the basic classification of most Siberian tongues. One long-established family, Paleo-Siberian, is probably a catch-all category of small families and isolates, no more coherent than the “Papuan” family of New Guinea and environs. Other debates focus on hypothesized relations between Siberian languages and those found elsewhere."

"text": "Far East Kingdoms Central Asia Indo-Europeans Scholars first noticed similarities between Sanskrit and Latin and Greek in the sixteenth century, as Europeans came into contact with India. But it was the British Asiatic Society in eighteenth century India under Sir William Jones that compared words across the three languages and found remarkable similarities. From this it was deduced that a common 'Proto-Indo-European' (PIE) root lay at the heart of all three languages and their peoples. This linked them back to an ancestral homeland that was probably located in the sweeping expanse of the steppes of Central Asia, to the north of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Scholars disagree about the precise location of this homeland even today, with a variety of others being proposed that include Anatolia and post-glacial Europe itself. Even so, the aforementioned steppes are still the favoured location, providing as they did a home to many later, similar groups of nomads such as the Huns and Turks. How these people got there is unknown, but India was one of the first places to be colonised by early humans after they left Africa around 90-70,000 years ago (see the Hominid Chronology feature). Some of these people stayed where they were and others continued to follow the coastline to populate China and South East Asia. It seems likely that, after migrating inland, others further migrated northwards and in time formed communities around the steppes. Whether these communities existed in an unbroken line down to their developing into proto-Indo-Europeans can never be known."

They took cover as a 38-man U. S. Marine force approached their position across an open field on the opposite side of the church. A violent and bloody showdown was imminent. It was the morning of February 4, 1968, five days after the NVA and VC had overrun Hue, the old Imperial capital of Vietnam, at the beginning of their Tet Offensive. The Marines were from the 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment (1/1), commanded by Sergeant Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Gonzalez, a 21-year-old Marine from Edinburg, Texas. He had taken charge several days earlier after the lieutenant who normally commanded the platoon had been wounded and evacuated. Gonzalez had enlisted in the Marines three years earlier, in May 1965, just after graduating from high school. He had always wanted to be a Marine from the time he was a small boy, according to his mother, Dolia Gonzalez, who still lives in Edinburg. Often, while watching John Wayne war movies at the town theater on Saturday afternoons, he would nudge his mother, cup his hand to her ear and whisper, ‘Someday I’m going to be a Marine just like that. ’After boot camp, Gonzalez served a one-year tour in Vietnam in 1966-67. ‘"

Posted by Kyle Hill on May 19, 2015Share: Twitter Facebook Google+ Reddit Email Science Aside from the cult-based fanaticism, chrome paint huffing, and murderous impulses, of course. What I think makes Mad Max: Fury Road work so well as an action film is its world-building. There’s hardly any dialogue; everything you need to know is communicated through setting, design, and its freakish and fantastical characters. The “war boys” of warlord Immortan Joe – bald and brilliantly white against the desert sand – are particularly evocative and disturbing. They are soldiers born to die dreaming of Valhalla. Also leukemia. Within the first five minutes of Mad Max we’re introduced to Joe’s ghostly army, whose ferocity comes with a price. The war boys are born with a “half-life,” presumably meaning a seriously shortened lifespan. But from what?"

"text": "\"Critical Essays Perspectives on Black Boy Bookmark this page Until Wright's Native Son, most black fiction was pretty much limited to historical, period pieces. Whether it belonged to the plantation tradition or the Harlem school of literature, most of it could be classed as only historically interesting. A primary reason for this is that the audience those writers addressed themselves to was middle class and \"\"liberated\"\" from the struggles of the poor. Since such an audience asks to read about itself, and since its spokesmen have to be \"\"liberated\"\" too, the writing of that time was largely restricted to a facade, a falsification of black life. There are, of course, notable exceptions to this rule Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston, and Langston Hughes but as a rule, middle-class writing, black and white, was designed to entertain, not to disturb, its middle-class reader. Therefore, when Richard leaves the South in Black Boy, it marks a turning point not only in his own life, but in the history of black literature. Much of the theme of his autobiography is summed up in his essay, \"\"The Ethics of Living Jim Crow,\"\" in which he describes with awful honesty the effects of the caste system on black people. No one before Wright had written of this subject as he did, and, consequently, the essay had a revolutionary value. Wright explained how it is necessary for a people living in a society founded on free enterprise and individualism to have a background of education in one's own personal values and free access to the surrounding society. Without those qualities, and without a history of free choice, black Americans are forced to remain in close-knit, pre-individualistic groups; there, the possibility of survival is even greater than it would be if each person tried to make it on his own."

She was a Union soldier and worked during the Civil War as a nurse. ( Bettmann / Corbis)By Jess Righthandsmithsonian.com April 7, 2011Even though women weren’t legally allowed to fight in the Civil War, it is estimated that somewhere around 400 women disguised themselves as men and went to war, sometimes without anyone ever discovering their true identities. Bonnie Tsui is the author of She Went to the Field: Women Soldiers in the Civil War, which tells the stories of some of these women. I spoke with the San Francisco-based writer about her research into the seldom-acknowledged participation of women in the Civil War. Why weren’t women allowed to fight in the Civil War? At the time, women weren’t perceived as equals by any stretch of the imagination. It was the Victorian era and women were mostly confined to the domestic sphere. Both the Union and Confederate armies actually forbade the enlistment of women. I think it was during the Revolutionary War that they established women as nurses because they needed help on the front when soldiers were injured."

Blue-clad soldiers with only a few hours’ sleep shook off their stiffness, and orders circulated among them to strike their pup tents. As the gray light of dawn slowly crept across the eastern Cuban sky, tropical birds squawked to announce the beginning of the first day of July 1898. Regiments of American troops were camped along the Santiago Road for several miles back toward Siboney. Brigadier General Samuel S. Sumner’s Cavalry Division of two brigades rested below El Pozo Hill. Because of the limited sea transport available when the Americans landed at Daiquirí on June 22–barely enough to accommodate the troops, let alone horses–the dismounted cavalry would have to fight as infantry. Only the artillery, supply trains, officers and their orderlies retained their mounts. Colonel Henry K. Carroll commanded the brigade of the 3rd, 6th and 9th (Colored) U. S. Cavalry regiments, while Colonel Leonard Wood commanded the brigade of the 1st and 10th (Colored) U. S. cavalries, along with the 1st U. S.

The 2,4,5-T used to produce Agent Orange was later discovered to be contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), an extremely toxic dioxin compound.

[ 4] [5] The program's goal was to defoliate forested and rural land, depriving guerrillas of cover; another goal was to induce forced draft urbanization, destroying the ability of peasants to support themselves in the countryside, and forcing them to flee to the U.

These Air Force personnel are the ones with the fighter aircraft that could shoot down, or at least force the landing of the spray-tankers. The innocent portion of the USAF is prevented by FAA regulations and the structure of their chain of command from doing anything about the spraying.

"text": "Home » Classroom What Is the Advantage of Having School Start Early? By Marie Anderson Starting the school day before 8 a.m. might be a struggle at first, but there are benefits. School days beginning after 8 a.m. have many benefits for students, especially those in middle and high school, according to Psychology Today. These benefits include better academic performance, fewer absences and even improved health. However, early start times do have some advantages that may be worth considering. Students who begin earlier have more time for after-school jobs and activities; schools may benefit by saving some money; and parents might find that an early start works better with their schedules. Academics While studies show there are academic advantages to later start times for adolescents, schools that begin early in the day still can excel academically. According to an article in the Baltimore Post-Examiner, Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland has 30 high schools, and the three ranked highest by U. S. News and World Report for college readiness and algebra and English proficiency all begin classes at 7:25 a.m. Starting the day early also means more time for after-school tutoring and that student-athletes miss fewer classes to travel to after-school competitions. More Time for Activities A 2001 study showed that school administrators cited extracurricular activities as a major reason why high school campuses would rather start earlier in the day. Sports needing to practice outdoors have more daylight, and students walking home from these activities can take advantage of the extra daylight for their safety."

He developed a working relationship with the pastors at Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas, asking them for wisdom and guidance. February 2000 Pastor Robert began meeting with a group of 30 people in his living room to pray for direction for the ministry, worship the Lord, and study the Word. The following year, this group became the founding members of Gateway Church. April 2000 Pastor Jimmy Evans and the elders of Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas, prayed for and released Pastor Robert and Gateway’s founding elders to start the new church. On Easter Sunday, April 23, Gateway held our first service at the Hilton Hotel in Grapevine for 180 people. May 2000 Three weeks later we moved our meetings to Saturday nights at Christ Our King Church in Southlake. July 2001 Gateway began meeting at A World of Learning, a 300-seat training facility and daycare center in Grapevine. While there, the church quickly grew to five services with over 2,000 people attending weekly.

Mandle Associate Professor of Sociology Colgate Universityjdmandle @ mail.colgate.edu Second Wave Feminism One of the best known and most important political slogans of the early Women's Liberation Movement in which I was involved in the middle 1960s claimed that \"\"the personal is political.\"\" That phrase was honed in reaction to struggles within the 1960s social movements out of which the Women's Liberation Movement first emerged. It captured the insight that many of what were thought to be personal problems possessed social and political causes, were widely shared among women , and could only be resolved by social and political change. In the l960s social movements - the Civil Rights Movement, the movement against the War in Vietnam, and the student movement which called for more student rights and decision-making power on college campuses - women were central actors. Within all these movements, however, women activists were denied the recognition and the responsibility that they deserved and that they had earned. Despite their commitment and contributions, they were all too often refused leadership positions, treated as second class citizens, told to make coffee, and put on display as sex objects. By the middle 1960s many of these women began to react to and organize around the strong contradiction within social movements which fought for self-determination and equality and yet which denied these same basic rights within their own ranks. First in the civil rights movement, with a statement written by Mary King and Casey Hayden, and soon afterward and more frequently in the anti-war movement, SDS, and other social movements, women radicals began to demand equity and respect as activists. The reaction of many of their male and female comrades seems predictable in retrospect, but was shocking and demoralizing at the time."

Some campuses are well-equipped to handle the onslaught of phones, tablets, laptops, etc. looking to hook up. Others, not so much. Before you take matters into your own hands and install a wireless router in your dorm room, read these five helpful tips. They can save you some time and maybe even prevent you being put on double-secret probation... Tip 1: Determine The Need As noted, some campuses want to manage all your network devices and have the networks and capacity to do so. So newbies need to get find out what the campus policy is. Some schools specifically prohibit private routers, while others allow them as long as they are set up properly and registered with the IT department. So first find out whether your dorm room has wireless coverage and how many devices are allowed. If the school already has it handled, skip the router."

"text": "Should students and faculty be allowed to carry guns on college campuses? By James Horner, Student The average college backpack probably contains notebooks, texts and a laptop. What if it were legal for it to also hold a gun? Since the shooting deaths of 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007 by a troubled student, state legislatures nationwide have considered bills to allow carrying concealed weapons on college campuses, including into classrooms and dormitories. So far legislation has failed to pass on 55 occasions in 29 states, but bills are still pending in 10 states. Lawmakers in several states where legislation has failed plan to reintroduce it. No federal law permits or prohibits guns on campus. Twenty-six states ban the practice, with an exception for public safety officers, and 23 states leave the decision to the colleges, most of which choose to be “gun free.” Only Utah requires public universities to allow guns on campus. Gun-rights advocates believe that students and faculty should be accorded the same prerogative to carry guns on campus as they would have to carry them legally in other places."

"text": "\"Students at three California campuses -- Moorpark College, California State University at Channel Islands and California State University at Long Beach -- are now believed to have contracted measles, joining more than 90 other people in the state who have contracted the largely eradicated disease. California students are within their legal rights to come to campus without having been vaccinated -- the state is one of 22 that does not require college students to be vaccinated against measles. As a result, many California colleges, including the 10 campuses of the University of California System, do not require students to receive immunizations before enrolling. The University of California may soon move to change its policy. A proposed three-year plan would require incoming students in 2017 to receive vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, meningococcus and tetanus. Currently, the system only requires students to be vaccinated against hepatitis B. James Cherry, a pediatrics research professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, said the new policy couldn't come soon enough. “ It seems to me that this should be done this year, not 2017,” Cherry said. “ The way things are going right now, we’re going to have an epidemic on college campuses. That is the situation we're in. ”Brooke Converse, a spokeswoman for UC, said the new plan was in the works long before the recent outbreak of measles in the state and that the roadblocks for adopting the policy have been technical in nature, not philosophical."

"text": "Common Arguments Against Campus Carry Guns on campus would lead to an escalation in violent crime. Guns on campus would lead to an increased number of suicides by college students. Guns on campus would distract from the learning environment. Colleges are too crowded to safely allow the carry of concealed weapons. A person with a gun could “snap” and go on a killing spree. A dangerous person might jump someone who is carrying a gun, take the gun, and use it to do harm. Dorms are notoriously vulnerable to theft. It would be too easy for someone to steal an unattended firearm from a dorm. It’s possible a gun might go off by accident. It’s unlikely that allowing concealed carry on college campuses could help prevent a Virginia Tech-style massacre becase most college students are too young to obtain a concealed handgun license."

Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape. [ 1]Sexual assault for higher education students occurs more frequently against women, but any gender can be victimized. All ethnicities and social classes are affected. While the rate of violent crime against higher education students aged 18–24 in the United States declined significantly from 1995 to 2002, the rates of rape and other sexual assault largely remained the same. [ 2] Estimates of sexual assault, which vary based on definitions and methodology, range from 0.61% of female students sexually assaulted annually to 19–27% of college women and 6–8% of college men sexually assaulted during their time in college. [ 3] [4] [5] [6]In response to charges that schools have poorly supported women who have complained of sexual assault, in 2011 Office for Civil Rights under the Obama administration used an interpretation of Title IX to issue \"\"guidance\"\" to universities. The so-called \"\"Dear Colleague\"\" letter advised academic institutions that they must make changes to how they handle sexual assault allegations, including lowering the standard of proof, setting time limits on a response to allegations, and limiting the accused's rights to cross-examine the complainant. The OCR guidance also included the threat to withdraw federal funding to schools that do not comply. ["

The University sets degree requirements and standards, but departments, colleges, and campuses have the delegated authority to determine the requirements and standards related to programs and majors, so long as they are consistent with this policy. All credit awarded by the University, regardless of the campus or type of instruction, must be recognized by all University campuses, must appear on the transcript, and must count toward the requirements for the degree (subject to the requirements and standards established by departments, colleges, and campuses). In some cases, a student may accumulate credits that, while recognized by the University, are in excess of what may be required for the degree program in which the student is enrolled. Students may not earn two baccalaureate degrees in the same major (e.g. B. A. and B. S. in Economics) from any campus (es) of the University. A student fulfilling requirements for two majors within different degree structures (e.g., one B. A. and one B. S) may earn two degrees. The student must complete all additional requirements for the degree, beyond completion of the major (e.g., the language requirement for the B. A. degree). Baccalaureate degrees require a minimum of 120 semester credits. College/campus approval is required for any baccalaureate degree programs that require more than 120 credits. Academic units that propose baccalaureate degree programs requiring more than 132 credits must also receive approval from the appropriate chancellor or provost in consultation with the Senate Committee on Educational Policy."

Students are keen to fit in, prove themselves, and often overjoyed with their newfound freedom. These freedoms are often taken too far, however, as college campuses tend toward a higher frequency of partying and illegal drugs. Many college administrators look the other way, thinking of binge drinking and illicit drug use as rites of passage. Fraternities and sororities are famous for episodes of hazing, which quite often include drinking and other drugs. In addition, college students may be overly worried about image, and some drugs may work as weight regulators to help combat that “Freshman 15,” even though these drugs may be harmful in other ways. Substances commonly abused by students in college include: Alcohol Marijuana Prescription medications (including stimulants, central nervous system depressants, and narcotics)Over-the-counter drugs Cocaine Heroin Ecstasy USA Today publishes that half of the 5.4 million fulltime college students in America admit to binge drinking or using drugs at least once a month. Alcohol on College Campuses The most abused substance on college campuses is alcohol. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that four out of five college students drink alcohol. This may not seem like that big of a deal, but keep in mind that three-quarters of this population is under the legal drinking age."

Lubbock-Cooper is opening two new schools - Central Elementary, the 3A school district's fourth elementary school, and Laura Bush Middle School, the district's second middle school. At the Frenship ISD, the new Heritage Middle School will begin its first classes Monday. Heritage will join Frenship and Terra Vista middle schools as the 4A district's third middle school. In Lubbock, the board of trustees voted in April to close Alderson Middle School and Tubbs and Arnett elementaries for the 2011-12 school year to cut costs because the state reduced district funding. LISD administrators estimated they would save $4 million by closing the schools. Alderson was consolidated with Dunbar Middle School; Arnett was consolidated with Wright Elementary and Tubbs was consolidated with Mc Whorter and Wolffarth elementaries. The Lubbock district is beginning the school year with 87 fewer positions in its central office, another cost-cutting measure for the district. Superintendent Karen Garza said the personnel reduction, which included part-time and full-time employees, is changing the way they do things at the central office but is unlikely to have drastic effects at the campus level. Twelve of the 87 employees whose jobs were eliminated decided to retire, and 13 applied for and received jobs at campuses, Garza said. \"\""

[ 2]Western Digital Corporation has a long history in the electronics industry as an integrated circuit maker and a storage products company. Western Digital was founded on April 23, 1970, by Alvin B. Phillips, a Motorola employee, as General Digital, initially (and briefly) a manufacturer of MOS test equipment. It rapidly became a speciality semiconductor maker, with start-up capital provided by several individual investors and industrial giant Emerson Electric. Around July 1971, it adopted its current name and soon introduced its first product, the WD1402A UART.

The oil crisis of the mid-1970s and the bankruptcy of its biggest calculator customer, Bowmar Instrument, [3] changed its fortunes, however, and in 1976 Western Digital declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After this, Emerson withdrew their support of the company, and WDC was on its own. WDC introduced several landmark products during this time, including the MCP-1600 multi-chip, microcoded CPU. The MCP-1600 was used to implement DEC 's LSI-11 system and their own Pascal Micro Engine microcomputer which ran the UCSD p-System Version III and UCSD Pascal."

"text": "\"Old hard drives: how long do they last?mitofi Sep 1, 2009, 6:03 PMJust wondering - how long should I expect a hard drive to last? In my last DIY, I got a new HD, but I use my old HDD as a second drive, with dual boot. The 'new' HDD is about 3 years old or so (80GB Western Digital), but the old one is something like 30GB and probably 6 years old or so (and I think it is also a Western Digital, but not sure). Am I pressing my luck with these? Generally, how long do HDDs last? I don't do hardly any video/audio downloads (so far), so I am reluctant to buy a new 'low-end' HDD with 1/2 TB7 answers Last reply Sep 2, 2009More about hard drives long last Devastator_uk Sep 1, 2009, 6:24 PMWell any new hard drive will be faster than those two, given what you seem to do a Western Digital Caviar Green might be best if you do get a new one. As for how long they last, it varies a lot on how they are used, in most cases they become too old before they stop working. If used intensively they will barely make it out of warranty, but for general PC use it's not unrealistic for them to still function after 10 years, especially if idling as a second drive for most of that period.jsc Sep 1, 2009, 7:05 PMOne of your old hard drives could last another 10 years or it could die tomorrow. One measure of hard drive reliability is mean time before failure (mtbf). Unfortunately, that is based on some sort of statistical calculations (that I have no freakin' clue about )."

Mount Fuji, from the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, color woodcut by Katsushika Hokusai Rembrandt, Self-portrait, etching, c.1630Francisco Goya, There is No One To Help Them,Disasters of War series, aquatint c.1810Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints that have an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a print. Each print produced is not considered a \"\"copy\"\" but rather is considered an \"\"original\"\". This is because typically each print varies to an extent due to variables intrinsic to the printmaking process, and also because the imagery of a print is typically not simply a reproduction of another work but rather is often a unique image designed from the start to be expressed in a particular printmaking technique. A print may be known as an impression. Printmaking (other than monotyping) is not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple impressions, but rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking processes lends itself to."

To consider if the number is lucky means to consider the pronunciation of the number and they sound pronunciation of another word and it should carry a positive connotation or vibes. Sometimes these numeric phrases are used for phone numbers or in email. They first see how a number is sounded, then associate it to words that share similar pronunciation and interpret the number from there. Certain numbers are considered to be lucky or unlucky. Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest cultures. The Chinese animal zodiac is a rotating cycle of 12 years.

Tori Avey | March 9, 2015Turmeric, the golden colored strongly flavored spice, is having a “moment.” This ancient spice, celebrated for centuries as both food and medicine, has resurfaced within the health and nutrition communities thanks to curcumin, the healing substance which supplies its vibrant color. Curcumin has significant anti-inflammatory properties that are said to rival those found in ibuprofen. Unlike over-the-counter drugs, turmeric has no toxic effects on the body. Curcumin’s powerful antioxidant advantages have been shown to protect healthy cells, particularly those found in the colon, from cancer-causing agents. It aids the body in destroying mutated cancer cells before they have a chance to spread to other areas. Turmeric also helps to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease. All that, and it’s tasty too!Turmeric’s botanical name is Curcuma longa. The plant reaches barely three feet in height and produces both a flower and a rhizome, or stem that is found underground."

"text": "\"Acer Aspire E5-551-T8X3 Kaveri A10-7300 Notebook Review Sven Kloevekorn ( translated by Liala Stieglitz), 07/30/2014Notebook Windows Kaveri incoming. AMD braces itself against Intel's smart Haswell entry-level CPUs with its latest iteration of the Bulldozer architecture. Acer packs the brand new A10-7300 quad-core with integrated Radeon R6 graphics in one of its eternally unchanged standard casings, and presents an affordable multimedia machine to the bargain-hunting buyer for just 500 Euros (~$670). Can AMD stand up against Intel this time? For the original German review, see here. Manufacturers compete for customers' favor with a vast selection of laptops in the high-selling price range of around 500 Euros (~$670). Almost all models of this segment share entry-level typical qualities, such as WXGA screens based on TN technology and conventional hard drives. Naturally, differences are found in the normally plastic casings, the connectivity, and primarily the various platforms that now all serve with an integrated graphics core, but are sometimes complemented by a dedicated graphics card from the entry-level or lower mid-range. Like in the former generations, the special charm of AMD's new Kaveri platform, on which our Acer Aspire E5-551-T8X3 is based, is found in the graphics performance, which is clearly superior to the Intel HD graphics cores integrated in the Haswell chips. That leads to the most important unique selling point of Kaveri and its precursors: Users who also want to play with their budget laptop, and are happy with less demanding games and/or low to medium settings in up-to-date games will be satisfied."

With cute baby animals! note Word Party is an animated series targeted at toddlers and preschoolers by The Jim Henson Company—specifically, The Henson Digital Puppetry Studio (who were also responsible for Sid the Science Kid and Dinosaur Train ). This interactive series stars four baby animals - Bailey the elephant, Kip the wallaby, Lulu the panda and Franny the cheetah, along with a myriad of exotic toys and a friendly off-screen narrator. The viewers takes on the role as a \"\"big kid\"\", whom the baby looks up to and \"\"learns\"\" new words from. Most of the plot centers on the babies' playtime, which will proceed until the babies come across something that they do not know the word to, be it an emotion, an occupation, a color or an animal. The big kids are then required (with the help of Word Wally, a proportionately large robotic TV on wheels) to teach the babies the required word. Upon completion, the babies break into a party and the show ends. The novelty of the series, however, relies on its fully interactive segments. On supported devices, an icon will pop up at set intervals that when tapped or clicked, interrupts the show and launches a flash card minigame that teaches the words relevant in the episode to the viewers."

Here are ten reasons why you might want to use color in your visual messages and displays. But first, please read this note about color and accessibility. A Note About Accessibility: The solitary use of color to convey information leaves many visually impaired persons without the information they require. To keep designs inclusive, use redundant attributes, such as icons, labels or patterns to ensure everyone can perceive the information that color conveys. See Understanding Web Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 for more on this.1.

While pride is sometimes used in the Old Testament in a positive sense (i.e., the \"\"pride\"\" of the land of Israel [ Psalm 47:4 ; Ezek 24:21 ] or, God's \"\"pride/majesty/excellency\"\" [ Exod 15:7 ; Job 37:4 ; Isa 2:10 ]), its negative sense predominates, occurring in sixty-one texts. \"\" Pride\"\" is found mainly in the prophets and the books of poetry. The main Hebrew root is gh [ h'a G ]; the most common term is gaon [ /a\"\"G ], which occurs a total of twenty-three times. Included are the ideas of arrogance, cynical insensitivity to the needs of others, and presumption. Pride is both a disposition/attitude and a type of conduct. A synonym gaba [ H;b\"\"G] means \"\"to be high.\"\" While used in a variety of senses, the normal meaning is pride or arrogance, in particular \"\"an inner attitude of pride,\"\" often linked with parts of the human body ( Isaiah 2:11 Isaiah 2:17 ). There is pride of the eyes ( Psalm 101:5 ; Isa 5:15 ); of the heart ( Ezekiel 28:2 Ezekiel 28:5 Ezekiel 28:17 ); of the spirit ( Prov 16:18 ; Eccl 7:8 ); and of one's mouth/speech ( 1 Sam 2:3 ). A classic text includes the words \"\"pride,\"\" \"\"conceit,\"\" \"\"arrogance,\"\" and \"\"haughtiness\"\" ( Jer 48:29 )."

Pride is defined as: an inward directed emotion that exemplifies either a high sense of one’s personal status or ego (i.e., leading to judgments of personality and character) or the specific mostly positive emotion that is a product of praise or independent self-reflection. As any self-respecting human, I do take pride in myself every day even if it’s one of those days that just never ends. I take pride in my job, my family and friends. Does this make me over-proud?

Sometimes I would lie in bed at 6 a.m. and listen as the announcer would say, “You want to avoid the 605 northbound. They are clearing a fatal accident at Slauson.” And he would go on with the conditions on the other freeways. I would think, “Some guy left his house early this morning to head to work, probably didn’t even say goodbye to his still sleeping family, and he didn’t realize that he only had minutes left on this earth. They only mentioned him on the radio to say that his death created a traffic jam!”As you know, four years ago on this date, thousands of New Yorkers headed for work on what seemed to be a normal day. But the evil plans of a few suicidal men ended the lives of thousands and forever changed the history of our nation. Marla and I will never forget standing in line at the Eiffel Tower that afternoon when another American in line told us what had just happened. James is right: Life is a vapor! Like a morning mist that soon vanishes, so life is short and uncertain."

"text": "Rhetorical Methods in Pericles’ Funeral Oration: A Generative, Critical Analysis Bryan Lindenberger Introduction to Pericles' in Modern Context Executive, political leaders face many challenges when attempting to garner support for their initiatives. Times of crisis can further complicate garnering popular support in a democracy, particularly if this leader appears weak. United States President James Earl Carter, for instance, faced growing concern over his capability as President during the Iranian Hostage Crisis that began on November 4, 1979, and was handily defeated by the “tough talking” former governor, Ronald Reagan. On the other hand, some leaders have actually benefitted from crisis, using difficult times to not only pull their people together, but to actually increase their popularity and thus, support for their initiatives. There can be little doubt that measures such as the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind, and nation-building in Iraq would have met great resistance from multiple fronts if it were not for George W. Bush’s ability to unite people following the attacks of September 11, 2001 during his famous “Bullhorn Speech.” Contrast this with his inability to successfully take control of a moment of crisis during the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, where many described him as seeming “almost entirely disconnected from what really happened” (Brown). Somewhere in between, Barack H. Obama had difficulty with using rhetoric to effectively show his personal interest and involvement in the matter until some asked “Is oil spill becoming Obama’s Katrina?” ( Hall, Jervis, Levin). Though too late to avoid a drop in public support, Obama eventually communicated his outrage and managed to use the oil spill crisis to draw a distinction between himself and “Big Oil” and in fact “Big Oil Energy Policy,” announcing drilling bans in May of 2010 (CBS/AP). Some may say that Bush or Obama wisely used crisis to their favor."

"text": "\"Teaching Tone, Mood and Purpose through the Interpretation of Activist Poetryby Wm. Miles Greene To Guide Entry Send / Read Comments Introduction Background on Activist Poetry Rationale Curriculum Objectives Reading Strategies Classroom Activities After Reading Activities Assessment Standards Bibliography Introduction\"\"A poet's work is to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it from going to sleep.\"\" -Salman Rushdie This quote, written by Salman Rushdie, sums up my belief surrounding the purpose of socially critical poetry. As an educator who grew up as an artist in the poverty stricken neighborhoods of Long Beach, California, listening to the calls to action by many of the underground punk rock groups of the late 1980's and early 1990's, I can easily relate to the notion that poetry, and other forms of literature, can be used as vehicles for self expression and social progress. I remember hearing Greg Graffin— front-man in the punk rock band Bad Religion, and frequent guest lecturer in the University of California system— singing lines such as \"\"You are the government, you are jurisprudence, you are the volition, you are jurisdiction, and I make a difference, too (Religion 1988)\"\" and feeling like I could someday change the world, or a world, just as music had changed mine. By the time I finished High School I really began understanding the power of song, and by extension, poetry. I realized that poetry had the power to inspire thought, to evoke feeling and to and encourage action. Furthermore, music and poetry gave me a common platform with my colleagues and friends. This common platform became a strong foundation for social and political dialogue; many of my colleagues had similar— but often differing— views about the world in which we live. Nevertheless, there was always room to grow and ask questions about why society is constructed as it is, and just as importantly, why my own frame of reference is constructed the way it is."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the medieval saint of the same name, see Saint Humility. Representation of Humility in a stained-glass window, by Edward Burne-Jones. Humility is the quality of being humble. Dictionary definitions accentuate humility as a low self-regard and sense of unworthiness. [ 1] In a religious context humility can mean a recognition of self in relation to a deity (i.e. God) or deities, and self-debasement with subsequent submission to said deity as a member of that religion. [ 2] [3] Outside of a religious context, humility is defined as being \"\"unselved\"\", a liberation from consciousness of self, a form of temperance that is neither having pride (or haughtiness) nor indulging in self-deprecation. [ 4] [5] The materialistic view characterizes humility as self-restraint that frees oneself from vanity. Humility is an outward expression of an appropriate inner, or self, regard and is contrasted with humiliation which is an imposition, often external, of shame upon a person. Humility may be misappropriated as ability to suffer humiliation through self-denouncements which in itself remains focus on self rather than low self-focus. [ 6] [7]Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue which centers on low self-preoccupation, or unwillingness to put oneself forward, so it is in many religious and philosophical traditions, it contrasts with narcissism, hubris and other forms of pride and is an idealistic and rare intrinsic construct that has an extrinsic side."

Why is it considered wrong to be proud to be white, yet people who are proud to be black get a standing ovation? Saying that you're proud to be Black is a simplified way of saying, even after the countless generations of Violence against us Kidnapping and enslavement Smear campaigns that portray us as accepting, ignorant, violent (or docile, depending on the time period) and unworthy Books, tv, movies, commercials that seek to enforce the concepts that we are less important, not as pretty, and not as intelligent as our white counterparts Documentaries that have been twisted to insinuate that we are the sole people to blame for our own enslavement News programs that seek to portray every cop killing as the victims fault, even when they were not engaged in any criminal activity at the time News programs and movies that constantly focus on the intelligence, the creativity and the sophistication of white criminals vs only the violence of Black criminals (watch a mob movie for instance…then watch a gang movie. Even watch a biker gang movie and you'll see a clear difference)Having a government that often uses your color as a tool either by pitting people against you to get votes and get laws passed or pandering to you, in a good cop/bad cop fashion, to get your vote or to get laws passed Words in our American lexicon that constantly refer to blacks as thugs simply because that have on a sweat shirt with a hood on it or call blacks ghetto because they have a name that sounds black yet call whites unique when they have a name that is off the beaten path but sounds white. Dealing with the effects of all of this… white supremacy, white flight, difficulty competing in a job market that has been conditioned to see blacks as inferior, being overlooked for a job because you have a black sounding name, predatory loans, and the fear of being shot by the cops on a routine stop And don't forget that we face one or more of these things everyday When, after all of that, a Black person can stand tall and proclaim that they are proud to be Black…this is something worthy of admiration and applause. It's a story of finding one's self, against all odds. This may hurt some people's feelings… but no one is attacking white people's whiteness in this fashion. Or on a daily basis. Being proud to be Black means being able to look past all the lies and propaganda and discover who we are and what we've accomplished AGAINST ALL ODDS. Should you be proud to be white?"

The Bible tells us that “the pride of life… is not of the Father, but is of the world.” * God has made us capable of achievement, but there is an attitude that arises naturally with achievement that is not of the Father, but of the world. To have victory over pride is to excel and achieve without giving a place to this sinful attitude. In this way, it is similar to being a steward over material increase. “ If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.” * You can see at a glance that it is both possible to set your heart upon earthly riches, and it is possible to avoid doing so. The same Father who has made us capable of achievement has also made a way to do exploits and yet possess a lowly mind. “ Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” *"

"title": "http://www.literarydevices.com/hubris/\nHubris",
"text": "Definition of Hubris Hubris is an extreme expression of pride or self-confidence in a character. In Greek mythology and drama, hubris was an affront to the gods, as no mortal should believe himself to be more powerful than the gods, nor defy them. Therefore, Greek gods often punished characters who displayed hubris. The word hubris comes from the Greek word ὕβρις ( hybris ), which meant “wanton violence, insolence, outrage” or “presumption toward the gods.” The original definition of hubris had more to do with the actions of the character displaying aggression than his or her attitude. However, over time that definition of hubris has changed to encompass excessive pride coupled with a lack of humility. Common Examples of Hubris There is a common saying, abbreviated from the Book of Proverbs, that says, “Pride goeth before the fall.” The original King James version is, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” This is a good definition of hubris, as generally the hubristic tendencies in a person or character, i.e., the lack of humility in that person, leads to their own downfall. We can see that in many famous real people such as the following: Tiger Woods: After admitting to extramarital affairs, Tiger Woods lost many millions of dollars in commercial sponsorships and has not had the kind of success in his golfing career that he experienced beforehand."

"text": "Programs & Assessments Flexibility Highwaysby Chuck Wolf | Date Released : 17 Jun 20030 comments Print In my experiences, many of the dysfunctions, pains and musculoskeletal symptoms people possess result from muscle and joint tightness. These range of motion limitations lead to a chain reaction of compensations that cause overuse of muscle tissue and lack of use of the primary movers. Significant improvements occur after a series of thoughtful stretching. Perhaps the most controversial component of fitness is flexibility. By definition, flexibility is the range of motion over a joint or series of joints. Yet, the primal thought of that definition neglects the effects of muscle tightness upon other muscular structures, and that flexibility takes on a new paradigm when joints and muscles move in three planes of motion. Therefore, our industry must think out of the box when approaching stretching programs and incorporate three-dimensional stretching of muscles through the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. Additionally, when stretching, a chain link relationship must exist from one muscle group to an adjacent muscle group when performing a biomechanically sound stretching program. Tradition has reinforced flexibility of muscles to be usually single joint and single plane actions. A more functional approach is to incorporate multiple joints and planes into the Flexibility Highway stretch, as this is more conducive to human motion."

Using somitogenesis-stage human embryos, we performed transcriptomic profiling of human presomitic mesoderm as well as nascent and developed somites. In addition to conserved pathways such as WNT-β-catenin, we also identified BMP and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling as major regulators unique to human somitogenesis. This information enabled us to develop an efficient protocol to derive somite cells in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells (h PSCs). Importantly, the in-vitro-differentiating cells progressively expressed markers of the distinct developmental stages that are known to occur during in vivo somitogenesis. Furthermore, when subjected to lineage-specific differentiation conditions, the h PSC-derived somite cells were multipotent in generating somite derivatives, including skeletal myocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes. This work improves our understanding of human somitogenesis and may enhance our ability to treat diseases affecting somite derivatives. Introduction Human pluripotent stem cells (h PSCs) hold great promise in understanding human biology, modeling diseases, and generating cells and tissues for regenerative medicine. To fully harness their power, it is imperative to design robust and efficient protocols to differentiate h PSCs toward desired lineages, which often involves following cues seen during development of the tissue or organ system of interest ( Murry and Keller, 2008 ). Somites are transient mesodermal structures formed during early embryonic development that are common ancestors to a plethora of cell and tissue types, including trunk and limb skeletal muscles, axial bones and cartilage, subtypes of smooth muscles and endothelial cells, brown fat, and dermis of the back ( Brent and Tabin, 2002 )."

They include tendon degeneration, partial tearing and peritendinous inflammatory reaction. [ 1]Clinically Relevant Anatomy One of the most important muscle groups in running is the hamstring. They are active at various stages in the gait cycle, particularly in knee flexion and hip extension. Consisting of three fibers all originating from the ischial tuberosity and femur. Distally the muscle is inserted on the back of the knee, both on tibia and fibula. The junction between the tendons of the hamstrings and the ischial tuberosity is the area affected by high hamstring tendinopathy. The tendon’s thickness, fibrousness and poor blood supply are the cases of difficult healing. [ 2]The muscles contain a higher proportion of type 2 muscle fibers than the other muscles of the lower extremity; suggesting high intrinsic force generation. During running, the hamstrings have three main functions."

Description When viewed from the rear, the spine usually appears perfectly straight. Scoliosis is a lateral (side-to-side) curve in the spine, usually combined with a rotation of the vertebrae. ( The lateralcurvature of scoliosis should not be confused with the normal set of front-to-back spinal curvesvisible from the side.) While a small degree of lateral curvature does not cause any medicalproblems, larger curves can cause postural imbalance and lead to muscle fatigue and pain. More severe scoliosis can interfere with breathing and lead to arthritis of the spine (spondylosis). Approximately 10% of all adolescents have some degree of scoliosis, though fewer than 1% havecurves which require medical attention beyond monitoring. Scoliosis is found in both boys andgirls, but a girl's spinal curve is much more likely to progress than a boy's. Girls require scoliosistreatment about five times as often."

"text": "\"Bone grafting A surgeon places a bone graft into position during a limb salvage. ICD-9-CM 78.0Me SH D016025Medline Plus 002963 [ edit on Wikidata]Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly. Some kind of small or acute fractures can be cured but risky for large fractures like compound fractures. Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous (bone harvested from the patient’s own body, often from the iliac crest ), allograft (cadaveric bone usually obtained from a bone bank), or synthetic (often made of hydroxyapatite or other naturally occurring and biocompatible substances) with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts are expected to be reabsorbed and replaced as the natural bone heals over a few months’ time. The principles involved in successful bone grafts include osteoconduction (guiding the reparative growth of the natural bone), osteoinduction (encouraging undifferentiated cells to become active osteoblasts), and osteogenesis (living bone cells in the graft material contribute to bone remodeling). Osteogenesis only occurs with autograft tissue and allograft cellular bone matrices.

The lens, by changing shape, functions to change the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects at various distances, thus allowing a sharp real image of the object of interest to be formed on the retina. This adjustment of the lens is known as accommodation (see also below ). Accommodation is similar to the focusing of a photographic camera via movement of its lenses. The lens is more flat on its anterior side than on its posterior side. The lens is also known as the aquula (Latin, a little stream, dim. of aqua, water) or crystalline lens.

It occurs when the posterior tibial tendon becomes inflamed or torn. As a result, the tendon may not be able to provide stability and support for the arch of the foot, resulting in flatfoot. Most patients can be treated without surgery, using orthotics and braces. If orthotics and braces do not provide relief, surgery can be an effective way to help with the pain. Surgery might be as simple as removing the inflamed tissue or repairing a simple tear. However, more often than not, surgery is very involved, and many patients will notice some limitation in activity after surgery. Anatomy The posterior tibial tendon is one of the most important tendons of the leg. A tendon attaches muscles to bones, and the posterior tibial tendon attaches the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot. The main function of the tendon is to hold up the arch and support the foot when walking."

The impingement that generally takes place is the pinching of a soft tissue structure under a bony structure with associated motions, resulting in many undesirable effects. General Anatomy of the Shoulder (Image from: http://jimmysmithtraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shoulder_anatomy_ant_muscle.jpg)The shoulder girdle includes the articulation of the humerus, clavicle, sternum, and scapula. The structures that are usually the culprit in shoulder impingement syndrome involves degeneration and/or mechanical compression of the subacromial structures on the anterior under surface of the acromion. The structures involved include the rotator cuff tendons, the long head of the biceps, and subacromial bursa. Biomechanics of the Shoulder Girdle Several movements occur in order for the shoulder complex to function properly. In order for these full shoulder motions to occur, there must also be mobility in spinal segments through the level of T6. This should be considered in discerning the cause of movement disorder in the shoulder girdle. If a clinician decides to perform joint mobilizations, it is imperative for the clinician to understand the biomechanics of the shoulder girdle."

"text": "\"An interview with Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, MD - Emeritus 9/1/14OVERVIEWWhen we talk about scoliosis we refer to a curvature of the spine, but within the curvature so many changes occur in the spine-especially in the adult patient-that it becomes something other than plain old scoliosis. This morning I am going to speak more about a subset of patients who not only have scoliosis, but also some abnormalities consistent with degeneration of the lumbar and lumbosacral spine. If we look at scoliosis defined as a curvature of the spine in adults, it is prevalent in about 25% of the population. The actual incidence is probably not known; maybe about 500,000 patients have adult scoliosis in this country. In the adolescent age group the incidence is around 2% to 3% of the population, so if you extrapolate that figure, the incidence is probably going to be about 5% to 10% in the older population. The most common etiology is idiopathic, and it occurs more frequently in females than in males and it is a carry over of the adolescent scoliosis, which is more common in girls-at least 10 to 1 compared to boys. There are also congenital and neuromuscular conditions that can lead to scoliosis and then there is degenerative scoliosis, which is defined as scoliosis that occurs during adulthood as a result of degenerative changes of the spine affecting the facets and the intervertebral discs. These patients did not have scoliosis when they were young and they are a tough group to identify because unless you have previous x-rays or previous evaluations, you will never know whether this was an adult onset or preexisting scoliosis. Obviously there are many people with 10-degree or 15-degree curves in the lumbar or thoracic spine that never bother them and they do very well. So when they get to age 50 and they have a 10-degree lumbar scoliosis with degenerative changes and translation, is it true degenerative scoliosis or idiopathic with degenerative changes?"

Although some resources use these terms inconsistently, presentation properly refers to which part of the baby 'presents' first at the vagina; in other words, whether the baby is head-up (breech), head-down (vertex), or shoulder-first/sideways (transverse). Position usually refers to how the back of the baby's head is lying in reference to the mother's spine (towards her spine or away from it, etc.).

Secondarily, the tensile properties of the perforated and non-perforated grafts were measured and compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a non-randomized retrospective cohort analysis of women with stage II or greater rectoceles who underwent posterior repair with perforated and non-perforated porcine dermal grafts (Pelvicol TM CR Bard Covington, GA USA). The incidence of postoperative vaginal incision separation (dehiscence) was compared. A secondary analysis to assess graft tensile strength, suture pull out strength, and flexibility after perforation was performed using standard test method TM 0133 and ASTM bending and resistance protocols. RESULTS: Seventeen percent of patients (21/127) who received grafts without perforations developed vaginal incision dehiscence compared to 7% (5/71) of patients who received perforated grafts (p = 0.078). Four patients with vaginal incision dehiscence with non-perforated grafts required surgical revision to facilitate healing. Neither tensile strength or suture pull out strength were significantly different between perforated and non-perforated grafts (p = 0.81, p = 0.29, respectively). There was no difference in the flexibility of the two grafts (p = 0.20). CONCLUSION: Perforated porcine dermal grafts retain their tensile properties and are associated with fewer vaginal incision dehiscences."

Its causes may be direct or referred and be the result of dysfunction or disease, either focal or general in nature. The multiplicity of causative and effected ailments is almost endless. At times, the cause is readily apparent. At other times, it is a frustrating determination because of the spinal column's complex structure, weight-bearing chores, and close relationship with the nervous system and cerebrospinal circulation. The confusion can only be relieved through knowledge of the structure, function, and pathophysiology of the body that is producing the symptoms and signs, and an intelligent interpretation of all findings. Functional Considerations As in the thoracic spine, the movements of the lumbar spine are flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Lateral flexion is relatively free in the lumbar region, followed in order of mobility by extension, flexion, and rotation (minimal). The range of lumbar motion is determined by the disc's resistance to distortion, its thickness (Table 12.1), and the angle and size of the articular surfaces."

They’re in love with the newness, the new feeling of lightness in their body and maybe even some weight loss. But after some period of time, they may shift into a new routine of less frequency. How often is effective for yoga to have a positive impact? Well, the answer is: it depends. It depends on what your goals are (remembering, of course, that your practice is really supposed to be without goals), the style of yoga you’re practicing, your diet, other kinds of exercise you might be doing, any history of injury; this list is rather endless. So, what approach should you take? Let’s go through this list one by one: What are your goals for yoga?"

"text": "Does Yoga Count as Strength Training?by ANDREA CESPEDES Jan. 30, 2018When you think of strength training, lifting heavy dumbbells and barbells or swinging kettlebells comes to mind. While these iron-clad workouts definitely help you build muscle, they aren't your only route to stronger muscles. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Yoga may be considered strength training, depending on the style you practice. A rigorous version that moves you through multiple Chaturangas — a yoga-style push-up — lunges and core work definitely taxes your muscles. Don't expect yoga to give you a bodybuilder physique, but it can offer the stress on your muscles and bones required to keep them healthy. Why Strength Training? Strength training offers substantial benefits, besides just making you look firm and toned. The weight-bearing aspect of strength training builds strong bones, which wards off osteoporosis as you become older. Building muscle boosts your metabolism and improves daily function, meaning tasks such as carrying groceries to taking out the trash become easier. Strength training also improves your energy levels and offsets the natural 3 to 7 percent loss of muscle you experience per decade in adulthood."

"text": "Yoga for Beginners By Ann Pizer Updated February 05, 2018Print Beginning a yoga practice from scratch is not an easy thing to do. It takes a lot of courage to go from sitting on your couch thinking about trying yoga to actually rolling out a mat and stepping onto it. This can be true of exercising in general, but it’s even more specific to yoga since it’s different from other kinds of movement you’ve done before. If you want to take up jogging, chances are you’ve run sometime in the past. Your body has the muscle memory of how to do it. For most people, the shapes of yoga poses are going to be completely unfamiliar, not to mention learning the culture and associated practices like breathing exercises and meditation. Yet people do overcome their hesitations and start all the time. Knowing what to expect and what will be expected of you goes a long way to boost your confidence going in.

"text": "\"Definition of Yoga for Childrenby SOPHIE BLOOM, M. S., L. AC. Sept. 11, 2017Yoga offers a forum for children to exercise independently in a noncompetitive, yet focused environment. Some may have questions regarding the safety and appropriateness of yoga for children, due to the strenuous nature of certain poses. Parents interested in introducing their children to yoga should be aware of risks and precautions, seek adequate training and ensure their children are practicing under adequate supervision. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load About Yoga Yoga is a form of exercise which is about 5,000 years old, originating in India. The word “yoga,” loosely translated from the Sanskrit language, means “union.” Yoga poses involve a combination of stretching, breathing and mental relaxation (meditation). Many yoga poses have names that draw on elements of nature (animals, landmarks), which can intrigue children and stimulate their efforts. The Benefits of Yoga Practice Yoga can develop strength and balance, as children learn to support their own weight in new ways. Yoga highlights good posture and body alignment, as many poses fuse stretches with balancing, yet do not allow straining beyond what is comfortable (i.e, the inverse of a “no pain, no gain” philosophy)."

If there was ever a time when there was such a thing simply as “yoga” – those days are long gone. “ Power yoga”, “yin yoga”, Bikram yoga”; what on earth is the difference, and what are the benefits of each? Here is a list of some of the most popular styles of yoga, along with their benefits, for the beginner who knows little about yoga or which particular style is best for them.1.) Power yoga – If you’re looking for a workout with your yoga, than this style is your best bet. This fast-paced, high-energy style of yoga combines movement with breath, and is often done in a heated room (which heightens the intensity even more). The benefit of Power yoga is that you can combine your yoga and your workout into one, since Power yoga is both a cardio and muscle building workout.2.) Yin Yoga – This style of yoga is basically the opposite of Power yoga. It consists of long, deep stretches held for 3 to 5 minutes, which serve to open up your connective tissues – since connective tissues are not as elastic as muscles, you need to hold the poses longer in order to release the tension in them. The benefits of Yin yoga are that it is more of a relaxing, meditative style of yoga (they say it is supposed to “turn you inward”) as opposed to power, and it is usually done at room temperature if you’re not into the high-intensity of a heated room.3.)"

"text": "The Real Reason Downward-Facing Dog Is So “Good” / “Bad” for You Posted by Shawn Radcliffe on Jun 26, 2012 in Yoga | 49 Comments Share this post Tweet More“Downward-facing dog is the most ubiquitous pose in yoga,” writes Sara Calabro on the Huffington Post. That’s very true, but is this actually a good thing? This popular pose is the yoga world’s ambassador to a largely inflexible public. You see it in advertisements (some naked) for yoga socks, yoga mats, yoga towels, yoga blocks, and yoga nutrition products. It also appears in movies that involve yoga, usually whenever a sedentary man is trying to impress a super-bendy young woman in a yoga class. Downward-facing dog, known in Sanskrit as Adho Mukha Svanasana, is not a pose you just throw yourself into, though. And even advanced yoga students, who can contort their bodies into endless pretzel shapes, can benefit from rethinking their relationship with downward-facing dog. Unfortunately, this pose often shows up in beginner yoga classes, even though it is NOT suitable for beginners. The “Best” and “Worst” Pose of the Yoga World Is downward-facing dog really the worst yoga pose? Should everyone avoid it?"

"text": "Spiritual Meaning of Yoga Postures By Rachel Hanson While many people practice yoga for the physical benefits, there are other types of benefits; for example, the spiritual meaning of yoga postures can help yogis develop oneness inside themselves, as well as unity with the exterior world. In yoga, the natural world is especially important, which can be seen in many of the Sanskrit and English names for yoga poses that are taken from animals and other entities one finds in nature. Oneness in Yoga Yoga is considered by many to be a holistic art; one that does not focus only on the spiritual, the physical, or the mental, but focuses on all of them--hopefully in equal measure. The holistic effect of yoga is attained when pracitioners not only become physically stronger and more flexible, but also become mentally stronger and more flexible. Seasoned yogis even sleep better, on average, than people who do not practice yoga. One of the ways that yoga works holistically is through the names of yoga asanas that refer to concrete things in the world. When practicing Tree Pose, for example, you should, for a moment, become a tree. This oneness contributes to the overall effects of a well-rounded yoga practice. Spiritual Meaning of Yoga Postures Many yoga postures are named after things found in nature. Animal-named poses range from cobra to cat, including animals of several different families."

In the jargon of yoga teachers this is called a “pinnacle pose.” As we guide you through your practice, we keep this pose in mind and prepare you for it so you have the best chance of success when we get there. Knowing how to warm up and sequence towards a pinnacle pose makes it easier on your body and more likely that you’ll succeed in reaching it. Even if you aren’t a teacher, knowing the best way to access challenging yoga postures will aid you in deepening your home practice. Sugar Cane pose :: Bishop, CASelect Your Pose To begin, you want to select a pinnacle pose to work towards. I suggest something near the edge of your limit, maybe that you can already do, but is tough for you, or something that’s just barely out of your reach. For this example, we’ll use Half Moon Bow, or Sugar Cane pose. Understand The Components Next, you need to look at the separate components of the pinnacle pose.

Scroll down for video+12Ancient yoga scripts advised on postures to tone and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles - these muscles are particularly important for reaching orgasm Anecdotal evidence is increasingly being supported by science, with recent research suggesting that yoga can improve the sex lives of both men and women, enhancing feelings of pleasure and satisfaction as well as emotional closeness to partners. In two studies published in the Journal Of Sexual Medicine in 2010, more than 100 men and women aged from their mid-20s to 60 were enrolled in a 12-week yoga camp. They were asked to complete questionnaires about their sexual satisfaction before and after the camp. The results were unambiguous. The scores in all areas of sexual function — arousal, satisfaction, performance, confidence, ejaculatory control and orgasm — were significantly improved after yoga practice.

Danielle Levitt for The New York Times Editors’ note: We’re resurfacing this 2012 magazine article for Smarter Living so you can feel a little less guilty about skipping that yoga class. On a cold Saturday in early 2009, Glenn Black, a yoga teacher of nearly four decades, whose devoted clientele includes a number of celebrities and prominent gurus, was giving a master class at Sankalpah Yoga in Manhattan. Black is, in many ways, a classic yogi: he studied in Pune, India, at the institute founded by the legendary B. K. S. Iyengar, and spent years in solitude and meditation. He now lives in Rhinebeck, N. Y., and often teaches at the nearby Omega Institute, a New Age emporium spread over nearly 200 acres of woods and gardens. He is known for his rigor and his down-to-earth style. But this was not why I sought him out: Black, I’d been told, was the person to speak with if you wanted to know not about the virtues of yoga but rather about the damage it could do. Many of his regular clients came to him for bodywork or rehabilitation following yoga injuries."

"text": "Yoga Asanas, Yoga Postures Asana is defined as “posture ;” its literal meaning is “seat.” Originally, the asanas served as stable postures for prolonged meditation. More than just stretching, asanas open the energy channels, chakras and psychic centers of the body. Asanas purify and strengthen the body and control and focus the mind. Asana is one of the eight limbs of classical Yoga, which states that asana should be steady and comfortable, firm yet relaxed. When holding a yoga posture, make sure you can breathe slowly and deeply, using Dirga or Ujjiayi Pranayama. Go to your edge in the posture, holding where you feel a good stretch and/or your body working, but don’t feel pain, strain or fatigue. Even people who have just started practicing the various yoga poses can reap the benefits of yoga as the various yoga asanas or postures depending on their intensity levels are extremely useful in strengthening ones lower back, legs, hands, feet, spine, shoulders and so on. In fact, advanced yoga asanas which require the individual to concentrate on their breathing technique are also known to help one to relax and thereby be able to concentrate on the various parts of their body and their demands thereby taking them onto a path of self discovery and self realization. Yoga poses involve varying degrees of breathing and stretching exercises which tend to help one develop flexible and supple muscles, joints and tendons and also allows one to stay limber and supple."

"text": "\"By Jen Mueller , Spark People Blogger 11/19/2012Yoga has seen a steady rise in popularity over the past few years. According to a 2008 report released by Yoga Journal, 15.8 million American adults were practicing yoga. In 2010, that number grew to 21.9 million. The majority reported that they practice yoga for a number of health benefits, stress reduction and relaxation. Yoga is a great complement to a well-rounded exercise routine, no matter what your fitness level. It offers a variety of modifications (as needed), styles and intensities, giving it a wide appeal among exercisers of all fitness levels and goals. But one of the questions I get most about yoga isn't whether I recommend it (I do), but whether it counts as a cardio workout. Could yoga replace one or more of your weekly treadmill or elliptical dates? Before you decide to give up your traditional cardio workout for the new power yoga class at the gym, you might want to get all of the facts first. The Definition of Cardio The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) defines aerobic (cardio) exercise as \"\"any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature .\"\""

And I've never cared much for heat. For a few years, due to an intense work & family schedule, I occasionally would take a bikram class (sweaty, stinky, and long); but would more often drop into a hatha yoga class (more relaxing), or a couple of weeks of occasional boot camp (invigorating) early in the morning, if I did anything. Mostly, I smoked and drank and ate junk food and worked a lot more than I should have. Bikram was intimidating; a class is typically mostly half-naked sweaty women in pretty great shape, or at least appearing to be comfortable and confident in their bodies, whatever their body types. The percentage of men I've seen in classes has steadily increased since I started; I guess they've figured out that a Bikram class can be a good place to be."

In this post, we’ll take a look specifically at knee injuries in yoga. Remember, as we explore some potential reasons for why we might be seeing the results that we are, that our survey also indicates that the injury rate of yoga practitioners is NOT especially high compared to many other activities. Refer back to our post summarizing the negative experiences of practitioners for those details. However, it is still important to examine the injuries that are happening and especially the specific contexts in which they’re happening. This is the information that we can use to go forward in the modern yoga experiment and improve what so many practitioners are already experiencing as a positive experience, for the better. In order to get more specific about where injuries were occurring in the body, we include additional statistical information describing the relationships we report and we did some consolidation of our data. Statistics Review: Below are a few reminders about the statistics we’re calculating to help you understand what we’re reporting from our survey project: Remember that statistical analysis, in the most general sense, is a method of calculating the likelihood of one particular outcome in a situation given a specific set of circumstances. We include the information: n=some number, to tell you how many people answered the question we’re reporting on. Survey participants were not required to answer every question, so the sample size for each question varies."

Why focus on breathing when the body is what matters? It was boring and I didn’t understand why we spent so much class time reviewing the act of breathing. Many yoga classes later, I looked around and noticed myself roaring and heaving and sighing like the seasoned yogis around me. It was then that I realized how fundamental breathing is to the practice of yoga asana. Fast-forward several years, and I’m still happily enjoying my adventure in breathing—both as a student and a yoga teacher. The breath has become the forefront of my personal practice as well as a priority when I’m teaching. I’ve had many teachers (with lineages spanning from the classics of Iyengar and Anusara, to modern interpretations like Strala and Vinyasa) and experiences that transformed me from a breath naysayer to its biggest champion."

Exercises To Do After Surgery Yoga after any kind of surgery could be dangerous and therefore care needs to be taken before you can go ahead with any exercise. The best person to guide you when in this dilemma is your doctor. Yoga can cause excessive physical strain on your body and thus it is always recommended that you wait at least 6 weeks post surgery before you could begin with any yoga routine. Even after this time period if you feel any unnatural strain in the body while performing yoga, you would need to stop immediately so as to avoid any fatal injury. Though meditation poses of yoga could be practiced without much harm, you would need to avoid straining your body with excessive physical routines. Straining your body over its bearable threshold will only serve to complicate your life even further. You can also check with your yoga instructor about the safest asanas to perform at this time.

The United Nations has six different parts: the General Assembly the Security council the Secretariat the Economic and Social Council the International Court of Peace Trusteeship Council The General Assembly is where the representatives of all the countries meet to vote on resolutions. The U. N. Security Council is a smaller delegation, that focuses on peacekeeping and security. The Secretariat manages daily business and is headed by the Secretary-General, who has tremendous power and is elected by the General Assembly for a term of five years. The Secretary General is able to introduce issues to the Security Council."

It is typically marked with a military parade that takes place in the capital city of Harare. The Zimbabwe Defense Forces (ZDF) in their current form were established in 1980, following the end of the civil war and the official recognition of the country's independence. The ZDF comprise the Zimbabwe National Army and the Air Force of Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe Republic Police can be regarded as part of the country's military, but it is subordinate to the Ministry of Home Affairs. As of 2007, the ZDF had an estimated strength of 29,000 active military personnel and 21,800 paramilitary personnel (including 2,300 personnel in the Police Support Unit). The government of Zimbabwe spends considerable amounts of its wealth on training for its military personnel and military equipment. Defense Forces Day is one of the most important holidays in Zimbabwe. The festivities are held throughout the country, but largest celebration takes place at the National Sports Stadium in Harare. The president delivers a solemn speech, which is followed by a flag hoisting ceremony and a colorful military parade."

The colors of the flag represent Madagascar's history, yearning for independence, and traditional classes. Red and white were the colors of the Merina kingdom, which succumbed to France in 1896. They were used in the flag of the last Merina monarch, Queen Ranavalona III. They may indicate the ethnic origins of the Malagasy people in Southeast Asia, and are shared by the flag of Indonesia.

Hi Bob! U rock!Rastafari : Robert Marley may be deemed as the most popular Rastafarian reggae music artist to be assassinated by the Babylonian system. This is a pretty strong allegation. One thing I have learnt from studying statistics and probability is how to spot patterns. It is so easy; you could write a computer program to spot patterns for you. It is an obvious trend that when Rastafarian music artists decide to take the message of love to an evangelical level, they always end up in dangerous situations.

European travelers from Germany, Portugal, and Britain were astonished to learn of this powerful African civilization in the interior of southern Africa. The first European to visit Great Zimbabwe was a German geologist, Carl Mauch, in 1871. Like others before him, Mauch refused to believe that indigenous Africans could have built such an extensive network of monuments made of granite stone. Thus, Mauch assumed that the Great Zimbabwe monuments were created by biblical characters from the north: “I do not think that I am far wrong if I suppose that the ruin on the hill is a copy of Solomon’s Temple on Mount Moriah and the building in the plain a copy of the palace where the Queen of Sheba lived during her visit to Solomon.” Mauch further stated that a “civilized [read: white] nation must once have lived there. ”Later Europeans also speculated that Great Zimbabwe was built by Portuguese travelers, Arabs, Chinese, or Persians. No consideration was given to the possibility of local indigenous Africans having built the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, because European writers generally agreed that Africans did not have the capacity to build anything of significance, particularly not monuments made with skilled stone masonry."

The culmination of a protracted dispute between the British and Rhodesian governments regarding the terms under which the latter could become fully independent, it was the first unilateral break from the United Kingdom by one of its colonies since the United States Declaration of Independence nearly two centuries before. The UK, the Commonwealth and the United Nations all deemed Rhodesia's UDI illegal, and economic sanctions, the first in the UN's history, were imposed on the breakaway colony. Amid near-complete international isolation, Rhodesia continued as an unrecognised state with the assistance of South Africa and Portugal. The Rhodesian government, which mostly comprised members of the country's white minority of about 5%, was indignant when, amid decolonisation and the Wind of Change, less developed African colonies to the north without comparable experience of self-rule quickly advanced to independence during the early 1960s while Rhodesia was refused sovereignty under the newly ascendant principle of \"\" no independence before majority rule \"\" (\"\"NIBMAR\"\"). Most white Rhodesians felt that they were due independence following four decades' self-government, and that the British government was betraying them by withholding it. This combined with the colonial government's acute reluctance to hand over power to black nationalists—the manifestation of racial tensions, Cold War anti-communism and the fear that a dystopian Congo -style situation might result—to create the impression that if the UK did not grant independence, Rhodesia might be justified in taking it unilaterally. A stalemate developed between the British and Rhodesian prime ministers, Harold Wilson and Ian Smith respectively, between 1964 and 1965."

"text": "Dokora curriculum to ‘force’ pupils salute flag By Tinotenda Samukange - June 12, 20150 0 0The proposed new primary and secondary school curriculum will compel children to salute the national flag and recite a pledge of patriotism everyday if approved by Cabinet.by VENERANDA LANGAThis was disclosed by Primary and Secondary Education minister Lazarus Dokora when he appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Education, Arts Sport and Culture chaired by Shurugwi South MP Tapiwanashe Matangaidze. “The proposed curriculum review will include introduction of a national school pledge for the infant school module, junior and secondary school to instil values of pride to be Zimbabweans,” Dokora said. He said the infant school pledge would entail children saluting and reciting the words: “Almighty God in whose hands our future lies, I salute the national flag, I commit to honesty and dignity of hard work”. For the junior and secondary school levels, Dokora said the national pledge would be a longer version which would take on matters of diversity, freedom, acknowledgement of mothers and fathers who lost their lives in the struggle and commitment to honesty and the dignity of hard work in order to give it a personal touch. Dokora said the words to be used in the school pledge were derived from the Constitution, adding he did not anticipate any problems with it as it was supported by the Constitution. However, MDC-T proportional representation MP Nicola Watson Brown said there was likelihood of resistance of recitation of the school pledge by some sections of society due to religious beliefs. Another MDC-T proportional representation MP said during the 1980s, schoolchildren used to salute the flag, but it was later dropped after the flag was no longer revered with people selling it in the streets while others used it for household decorations and other unrespectable chores. “If people challenge it, I am willing to stand by it. Other jurisdictions like America have a school pledge and every day they recite it,” Dokora said. “We should not doubt that our children should stand by their country."

While it is fairly common for flags to have just three colors, like the red, white, and blue of the United States or the black, red, and gold of Germany, some flags are much more colorful than that. What makes a flag colorful tends to be a subjective decision, however. There are many flags that use eight or more colors in them, but because the majority of the colors appear in small sections of a coat of arms, it just doesn't seem that colorful. Likewise, other flags may only have three or four colors, but a complex primary design or prominent display of the colors makes the flags appear to be extremely colorful. Here are ten of the world's most colorful flags. For our purposes here, we have considered design as well as the number of colors in selecting the most colorful flags. South Africa As the only nation to use six colors in their flag's primary design, South Africa gets first place on our list of the world's most colorful flags. The flag's design is made up of a green horizontal Y, positioned so that the Y touches both the upper and lower left corners of the flag.

"text": "Solar Thermal Chimneys Prev NEXTSolar thermal power has great potential because the technology is already all there. Guang Niu/ Getty Images Just as solar thermal greenhouses are a way to apply solar thermal technologies to an everyday need, solar thermal chimneys, or thermal chimneys, also capitalize on thermal mass materials. Thermal chimneys are passive solar ventilation systems, which means they are nonmechanical. Examples of mechanical ventilation include whole-house ventilation that uses fans and ducts to exhaust stale air and supply fresh air. Through convective cooling principles, thermal chimneys allow cool air in while pushing hot air from the inside out. Designed based on the fact that hot air rises, they reduce unwanted heat during the day and exchange interior (warm) air for exterior (cool) air. Thermal chimneys are typically made of a black, hollow thermal mass with an opening at the top for hot air to exhaust. Inlet openings are smaller than exhaust outlets and are placed at low to medium height in a room. When hot air rises, it escapes through the exterior exhaust outlet, either to the outside or into an open stairwell or atria. As this happens, an updraft pulls cool air in through the inlets."

"text": "Overview Gas fired furnaces, boilers and water heaters require a flue that has a good draft in it to get rid of the products of combustion after most of the heat has been removed. Newer appliances have fans and are called ‘forced’ or ‘induced’ draft venting. Older equipment and most boilers still rely on natural draft. The problem is that the draft is occurring 100% of the time, sucking air out of the house, even when it is not necessary to remove flue gases (when the burner is off). A vent damper is an automatic devise that shuts off the flue pipe when the burner is not running. A vent damper has no effect on the running efficiency of the appliance. It only saves off-cycle losses of heated air. Therefore, if the appliance is in an unheated space, there is no benefit to a vent damper. A vent damper can achieve up to 10% annual fuel savings. Operation There are two types of vent dampers: electric and thermal."

Wood-fired ovens work by creating fire inside a chamber with a solid floor and overhead insulation. This insulation works by gradually increasing heat to very high temperatures of over 370°C (700°F) which is the optimal temperature for cooking pizzas. It generally takes up to two hours from starting the fire to cooking a pizza. Once the oven reaches the required temperature, the fire is then moved aside or positioned at the deeper end of the chamber to make room for the pizza."

Fire clay can be easily located out in the nature but it must containing the right refractory properties, suitable content ratio of silica and alumina. Some shops call these bricks fireplace bricks. They are used for instance for building cooking chamber in wood fired ovens, for creating fireplaces, all sorts of fire boxes and wood heaters’ lining, linings in a small or the hugest industrial furnaces, you name it. Fire clay bricks are very heavy/dense having low porosity and even on various re-heating, and under continuous heat, they will last for very/very long time. Some may confuse them with insulating lightweight firebricks, those are used in different applications. Dense firebricks can be cut only with diamond wheel attached to high speed handheld angle grinders, on an ordinary building brick saw or sliding drop saw for cutting bricks. Fire bricks can be chopped in half easily by using brick chisel and a couple of hits with a heavier hammer. It is fun and quick but may you want to achieve precise nice cuts hire a trade machine or buy yourself at least small size grinder.

There’s been a steady improvement in the efficiency of hot water heaters over the years for both tankless direct vent water heaters and conventional water heaters. This increase in efficiency is largely due to the fact that the design of these new high efficiency water heaters is what’s known as a condensing design. And if you’ve been doing any research into hot water heaters, you’ve likely run across this term. Like most people you’re probably wondering just what condensing means relative to a hot water heater. Well wonder no more, the magic is about to be revealed!Combustion is by definition, the oxidation of a fuel. What this means in simple terms is that oxygen is combined with a fuel source in a controlled environment to produce an exothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction, in case your wondering, is a process that releases heat. Along with producing heat, the combustion process, at least in ideal situations, also produces water vapor and co2 as byproducts. So to recap, a fuel such as natural gas or propane is combusted or burned in the the presence of oxygen."

They cannot be used for large-scale power plants such as co-generation plants due to their size and lack of efficiency. Advantages of package boilers are that they can be brought in as a whole assembly, perfect for tight spaces, and easily installed. They require steam pipes, water pipes, fuel supply, electrical connections and can be made ready almost immediately. Because of their compact design, these boilers are cheaper to operate due to their automatic burner management system as well as maintenance cost.

"text": "\"Hot Springs on the Ocean Floor Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur In many areas of the ocean floor, wherever magma nears the seafloor, or where lava erupts directly at the seafloor surface, hot springs on the seafloor called hydrothermal vents commonly are found. Vent fields are generally associated with submarine (undersea) volcanoes where lava is erupting or preparing to erupt. Hydrothermal vents also are found in areas of the ocean floor that are spreading, such as at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are being pulled apart. This movement allows the molten magma to rise from deep inside the Earth, superheating the cold ocean water around it. The average temperature of deep-ocean water is only 2°C (36°F). The water coming directly from a hydrothermal vent can reach up to 350°C (662°F) and is rich in dissolved chemicals. The hot spring water forms a plume above the vent, somewhat like smoke rising from a chimney into the air. Temperature-sensing instruments, towed behind research vessels, can detect these hot-water plumes and aid oceanographers in locating hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Vent Circulation and Chemistry Seafloor hydrothermal systems influence local ocean chemistry because hydrothermal circulation removes some chemical compounds from sea water, such as magnesium and sulfate, and adds many others. Further, the circulation pattern of sea water within the hydrothermal vent system creates the unique landforms and biological communities found in vent fields."

Hydrothermal vents were discovered years ago in 1977. Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places, areas where tectonic plates are moving apart at spreading centers, ocean basins, and hotspots. [ 1] Hydrothermal vents exist because the earth is both geologically active and has large amounts of water on its surface and within its crust. Common land types include hot springs, fumaroles and geysers. Under the sea, hydrothermal vents may form features called black smokers. Relative to the majority of the deep sea, the areas around submarine hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids.

Russell Nature Reviews Microbiology 6, 805 – 814 (2008)doi :10.1038/nrmicro1991Download Citation Published online:29 September 2008Abstract Submarine hydrothermal vents are geochemically reactive habitats that harbour rich microbial communities. There are striking parallels between the chemistry of the H 2 –CO 2 redox couple that is present in hydrothermal systems and the core energy metabolic reactions of some modern prokaryotic autotrophs. The biochemistry of these autotrophs might, in turn, harbour clues about the kinds of reactions that initiated the chemistry of life. Hydrothermal vents thus unite microbiology and geology to breathe new life into research into one of biology's most important questions — what is the origin of life? Key points Since their discovery, hydrothermal vents have been relevant to concepts that surround the origin of life. At the simplest level, there are two kinds of hydrothermal vents: the hot (approximately 350°C) black smoker type, the chemistry of which is driven by the magma-chamber that resides below ocean-floor spreading zones, and the cooler (approximately 50–90°C) Lost City type, the chemistry of which is driven not by magma, but by a process called serpentinization. Serpentinization is a H 2 -producing geochemical reaction that has been operation in hydrothermal systems for as long as there has been water on the Earth. Its reducing power is sufficient to generate substantial amounts of abiogenic CH 4 and short hydrocarbons in the effluent of some modern hydrothermal vents. In the study of the origin of life, major unresolved issues concern the source of sustained chemical energy and the source of reduced carbon compounds. The CO 2 -reducing geochemistry of modern hydrothermal vents provides a model for our understanding of how such processes might have been possible at the dawn of biochemistry."

But how much do you really know about how these systems work? Below is a brief summary to get you started in your research. The most important factor to keep in mind as you read is a basic principle of physics: energy cannot be destroyed, so thermal energy (which determines temperature) must be transferred elsewhere in order to result in a temperature change. Energy Sources There are a variety of machines that can be used for heating and cooling, and most can be powered by electricity, gas or even oil. One unit that can be used for both heating and cooling is a heat pump, which moves heat from one space into another. In the winter, a heat pump moves thermal energy (generated by a furnace or boiler) into your living space. In the summer, it moves it out of your living space. ( As you research this topic further, you may see the term “heat” used in various ways; in layman’s terms, a high temperature is called heat, but in physics, the transfer of energy itself is what is referred to as heat. ) Where the Energy Goes When you’re working to move higher-temperature air into your home, it’s pretty clear how the thermal energy of the air is increased (a furnace or boiler)."

The actual total capacity of the plant's two turbines is around 1480 MW, and the plant averages around 1420 MW. 1300 MW is the net power that actually leaves the plant, whereas the difference between the turbine output and the 1300 MW is required to run the plant itself. It is a \"\"closed-loop\"\" plant in that it recycles the cooling water used, however it requires approximately 20,000 US gallons (76 m 3) per hour of \"\"make up\"\" water to be drawn from the Ohio River to replace the water that is lost in water vapor through the cooling tower and the precipitator/scrubber chimney. The plant burns an average of 9,000 tons (8,200 metric tons) of coal per day, and some of that coal now comes via barge on the Ohio River to an elaborate coal unloading and storage facility. The other portion of coal comes from Big River Mining."

Flag How do the endocrine and respiratory systems work together? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The respiratory system delivers the oxygen needed for any system (including endocrine) to function. Both the endocrine and respiratory systems are dependent on each other. For example, there are certain hormones like adrenalin, which is released by the adrenal glands, which help to stimulate the respiratory activity. Also, some endocrine hormones have an effect on the dilation of the alveoli, or the respiratory passages. This can affect the amount of oxygen that the lungs absorb.

Individuals who inherit the gene for MEN 1 have an increased chance of developing over-activity and enlargement of certain endocrine glands. The endocrine glands most commonly affected by MEN 1 are the parathyroid glands, the pancreas, and the pituitary glands. Almost everyone who inherits MEN 1 develops over-activity of the parathyroid glands ( hyperparathyroidism) at some stage in their life. The other endocrine glands become over-active less frequently; however, people who inherit MEN 1 will usually develop over-activity in more than one endocrine gland. Over-activity in different endocrine glands may occur simultaneously or at separate times during a person's life. How Common is MEN 1? MEN 1 is a rare condition. It occurs in about 1 person in every 30,000 people. 1 MEN 1 is passed down in families from one generation to the next."

Answer by Out of Here Confidence votes 57.2KThere is more than one organ that has both endocrine and exocrine functions. The pancreas houses two distinctly different tissues. The bulk of its mass is exocrine tissue and associated ducts, which produce an alkaline fluid loaded with digestive enzymes which is delivered to the small intestine to facilitate digestion of foodstuffs. Scattered throughout the exocrine tissue are several hundred thousand clusters of endocrine cells which produce the hormones insulin and glucagon, gastrin, and somatostatin, plus a few other hormones. The liver also has both endocrine and exocrine functions. The liver's exocrine function involves the secretion of bile, which moves through ducts to the gallbladder where it is stored until needed to emulsify fats. In addition, the liver produces the hormone insulin=like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which affects growth and development in childhood and impacts adult muscle development as well. The liver also produces the endocrine hormone thrombopoeitin, which stimulate the production of platelets."

"text": "\"The word endocrine is actually from the Greeks and the endo definition means \"\"within\"\" and krine definition means \"\"to separate or to secrete.\"\" The term endocrine means “secreting internally,” and specifically refers to secretions that are distributed in the body by way of the bloodstream. Endocrine cells are made up of ductless glands that produce chemical messages called hormones, which are released into the internal environment of the body. These Endocrine secretions are distinguished from exocrine secretions, which are released to the external environment. Thus, endocrine signaling occurs when endocrine cells release hormones that act on distant target cells in the body. Endocrine signaling can be distinguished from two other types of signaling: neural signaling and paracrine signaling. The key difference between these types of signaling is the distance that the regulatory molecule travels to reach its target. Neurons are connected to their target cells via synapses. A neurotransmitter crossing a synaptic cleft will travel between 10 and 20 nanometers. However, paracrine will travel only a few millimeters before it is broken down, so it can only act on nearby cells."

All the three major systems work in synchrony to regulate the body function smoothly under all diverse situations of fight or flight. Hormones and neurotransmitters are two separate chemical messengers with some similarities as some molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters as well. One example of this overlap is norepinephrine which can be released into the bloodstream by the adrenal glands as a hormone or can be released by sympathetic nerve endings as a neurotransmitter. Figure- The synchrony between the three major system of human body The major differences between hormones and neurotransmitters are as follows-• Neurotransmitters belong to the nervous system, whereas hormones belong to the endocrine system.• Transmission of neurotransmitters is across the synaptic cleft, whereas that of hormones is by blood.• Hormones are produced by endocrine glands while neurotransmitters are produced by neurons.• Target cells of neurotransmitters can be specific neurons or other cells, whereas that of hormones can be some distance from endocrine gland.• Action of neurotransmitters is extremely fast, which could be up to few milliseconds. In contrast, effect of hormones could be last for a long period which could be in the range of few seconds to few days.• Examples for neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, dopamine and noradrenaline, whereas examples for hormones include ADH, GH, PTH, Oxytocin, insulin, glycogen etc.• Hormones are able to regulate their target organs, whereas neurotransmitters are able to stimulate the postsynaptic membranes.

I would experience a midwife's supportive care in a comfortable birthing room, just a few feet away from the emergency medical equipment I hoped wouldn't be needed. As it turned out, I had a difficult labor, but my midwife was there for me every step of the way. She encouraged me to experiment with different positions.

Joanna Moorhead Sat 14 Sep 2013 04.00 EDT04.00 EDT3,364 434Sarah Currie with her baby, Temperance, who was born on the sitting-room floor without a midwife present. Photograph: Leonie Hampton for the Guardian S arah Currie is just days away from giving birth, so when we meet our conversation turns, naturally enough, to the delivery. She is planning a home birth; we talk about where it might take place (she thinks the sitting room), about pain relief (she's going to walk around) and how long the labour might last. One thing we don't talk about is the midwife, because there won't be one. Currie, 27, decided a few weeks ago that she wanted to have her child without medical assistance. If that sounds mad, bad or dangerous (or perhaps all three), then hear her out."

We were signed up for the baby registry promotion where you get up to 10% back on items purchased and the company also matches. It has been 4 months since the time the registry closed. When we contacted the service initially we were told it takes two months to receive the incentive and it would be in the form of a gift card. Fast forward we call today and was told there was a glitch in the system where none of the items bought had been calculated. When asked if the company could fix it the rep said no. We know that sometimes it's out of the rep hands to fix things so we asked to speak with management. We were then told that there was no management to speak with and we needed to get a lawyer for any more inquiries. She then disconnected us while we were about to ask why. I tried to contact the 1 800 number for the store and was told they had no management to speak to, no contact number to leave a voicemail, no email address for management reps, and a physical address could not be given to write a letter."

Listenen español La atención médica y el recién nacido By the time you hold your new baby in your arms for the first time, chances are you've already chosen one of the most important people in your little one's early life — a doctor. You and your baby will probably visit the doctor more often during the first year than at any other time. You may have had a prenatal visit with your baby's doctor-to-be to discuss some specifics, such as when he or she will see your newborn for the first time, office hours and on-call hours, who fills in when your doctor is out of the office, and how the office handles after-hours emergencies. You may have also learned the doctor's views on certain issues. In this way, you've begun to forge a relationship with your baby's doctor that should last through the bumps, bruises, and midnight fevers to come. What Happens Right After Birth Depending on your desires and the rules of the hospital or birth center where your baby is delivered, the first exam will either take place in the nursery or at your side: Weight, length, and head circumference will be measured. Temperature will be taken, and your baby's breathing and heart rate will be measured. The doctor or nurse will monitor skin color and your newborn's activity.

"text": "\"Stages of Pregnancy Slideshow Pictures Slideshow of Early Pregnancy Symptoms Early Pregnancy Symptoms Quiz Fetus to Mom: You're Stressing Me Out!Fetus to Mom: You're Stressing Me Out Web MD Feature Dr. Calvin Hobel, a perinatologist in Los Angeles, has spent much of his career trying to document the effects of stress on pregnancy and to figure out how best to get pregnant women to relax. Not only does he see the importance clinically, but he's reminded of it daily. Beginning with his 45-minute commute to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Hobel watches women putting on makeup in their cars, wolfing down bites of breakfast ... and the clincher? Pregnant women who come to yoga classes to learn how to relax have to take a breather -- to answer cell phones they just couldn't leave behind. Stress is such a familiar part of women's lives that many just squeeze a pregnancy right into all the hubbub. Even if women wonder whether it's bad for their developing fetuses, it's often hard to get a straight answer, mainly because most doctors don't know how much stress is too much -- or for whom. But researchers, including Hobel, are getting closer to unlocking the mystery. For one thing, a growing number of studies are confirming what used to be considered just an old wives' tale -- that stress really isn't good for pregnant women. It not only increases the risk of pre-term labor, but possibly a host of other problems for babies after birth. Even more important -- and clearly more difficult to discern -- researchers are close to being able to predict who's most susceptible to stress and at highest risk for complications, such as pre-term birth."

The Bag of Wisdom: Osun and the Origins of the Ifa Divination By Professor Wande Abimbola By “Ifa divination” we mean Ifa and related systems of divination based on the stories and symbols of the Odu such as dida owo (divination with the sacred divining chain called opele) and etıte-ale (divination with the sacred palm nuts), eerındınlogun (divination with the sixteen cowries), agbigba (divination with a divining chain slightly different from opele), and obi (divination with kola nuts). The purpose of this essay is to examine the intimate connection of Osun with Ifa divination both in her own right as a person, and through the instrumentality of Osetuura, her son. We will start with the popular view of the involvement of Osun in Ifa divination which states that she got to know about Ifa through Orunmıla, her husband. In the later pages of this essay, I will make the claim that Osun has much more to do with the origins of Ifa divination than the babalawo (Ifa priests) are ready to admit. I will, indeed, put forward the hypothesis that the entire divination system of Ifa started from Osun from whom it got to Orunmıla and not the other way round. I will base my claims on verses of Ifa which give us hints to that effect. We will then examine the possibility that eerındınlogun is older than dida owo and etıte-ale which are probably later developments of Ifa divinations. Let us begin with the popular view that Osun was introduced to Ifa divination by Orunmıla."

We don’t know what causes all stillbirths. Common causes include infections, birth defects and pregnancy complications, like preeclampsia. You can have tests to try to find out what caused your baby’s death and prevent another stillbirth in your next pregnancy. Most women who have a stillbirth and get pregnant again have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. What is stillbirth? Stillbirth is when a baby dies in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Most stillbirths happen before a woman goes into labor, but a small number happen during labor and birth. Stillbirth affects about 1 in 100 pregnancies each year in the United States; this is about 1 percent of all pregnancies and about 24,000 babies."

In a small number of these cases, it will even stop their heart beating (cardiac arrest). The best chance of ensuring their survival is to give them emergency treatment known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR can consist of many different things, but the initial, vital part is Basic Life Support (BLS). Basic life support of babies and children with a tracheostomy This covers the techniques required for BLS of babies (up to one year of age) and children over one year of age who have a tracheostomy. This is not a substitute for receiving training in BLS but aims to serve as a reminder of what you have been taught. The techniques described must not be practised on healthy babies and/or children, but on specially designed manikins. Normal breathing and circulation To understand why a person needs BLS when their breathing and/or heart have stopped, it is important to know how the heart and lungs work. Normally when people breathe in (inhale) air through their mouth/nose/tracheostomy, it passes down their air passages (or airway) to their lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is extracted from the air and is absorbed into the bloodstream."

Each city has its own traditional ways of celebrating this festive period, but its general meaning and celebratory purposes remain the same. Easter Week in Ecuador is celebrated from the 16th to the 23rd of March in 2008 and it is a time where the crucifixion of Christ is remembered and His rising commemorated. On Good Friday, festivities start with a procession that is colorful and most spectacular, with depictions of these last horrendous days of Christ on earth. Some devotees carry massive crosses throughout the sometimes difficult route, while others illustrate the whipping penitents, as done by the Romans. Only the churches and cathedrals are open on Good Friday, with members of the church sometimes having to stand in long queues to get a chance at joining one of the mass ceremonies that are performed throughout the day. Ecuador also has a traditional dish that is served on this day, which is prepared from twelve different grains, representing the twelve disciples, and Christ who is symbolized through the serving of fish. On the Saturday of the event, the streets come alive with people and parades, joyful children and fascinated visitors. Musicians, dance and celebration fill the air, with families spending time together and enjoying the welcoming break from daily life. In Ecuador it is called Saturday of Glory."

The fiesta celebrates the re-founding of Quito on 6 Dec. 1534 by Spanish General Benalcazar. Quito had pre-existed for some 4000 years, but Inca general Ruminahui had evactuated and razed the city a few days earlier. Below is the Ecuadoran flag with no coat of arms ( see: Civil Flag ). This flag differs from Colombia's only in its proportions (which means they cannot be differentiated unless they are side by side and correctly manufactured.) I assume this is the civil flag. Almost all the Ecuadoran flags on display were incorrectly proportioned and showed the national coat of arms (which I assume to be the state flag version)."

Aymara-Quechua languages (which have many spoken dialects) are collectively the most widely spoken of all indigenous languages in South America. The Quichua are also the only people to have migrated both south along the ridges and valleys of the Andes mountains and east into the rainforest of the Amazon Basin. This early divergence in their migration paths has created distinct mountain- and jungle-Quichua identity and culture. The Quichua were among the earliest peoples to be conquered by the Inca empire. Ironically, the Inca empire itself consisted mainly of people who spoke the same Quechua language! It wasn't until Spanish colonization, though, that their population level fell drastically. One of the most important dates in history is associated with this decline. November 16, 1532 marked the capture of the Inca Emperor, Atahuallpa, by the Spanish conquistador, Francisco Pizarro. This blow to the Incas was the single biggest factor in allowing further Spanish expansion in the region, bringing with them the diseases that would eventually wipe out millions of native peoples."

The process itself also generally costs less (between $500-$1000), due in part to the fact that the quick turnaround time (two to four months) cuts down considerably on attorney fees should you decide to hire one. An immigration lawyer is something you might want to consider, unless you’re only seeking a temporary visa. Their help can be invaluable in sorting through the stipulations and requirements, obtaining and certifying the necessary paperwork, and dealing with the immigration officials who can often up and change the rules on a whim. If your stay in Ecuador will be a short one, you can probably figure things out on your own. This detailed guide will give you a great start, but you’ll still want to double-check everything with the Ecuadorian embassy or consulate in your home country before starting the process. Ecuador Visas for Tourists Under 90 Days (12-X Visa)We should first note that, if you hail from the U. S., Canada, or most European countries, you don’t need to apply for a visa of any kind in order to visit Ecuador as a tourist."

"text": "Celebrating Inti Raymi in Ecuador Inti Raymi is the Inca Festival of the Sun and, as the northern part of the Inca Empire, it was celebrated in Ecuador for centuries. What many people don't know is that it is still celebrated today, so if you want to see this ancient Inca ritual, head to Otavalo in June... Celebrated on the Winter Solstice in June (remember we're in the southern hemisphere here), the ceremonies celebrate the returning of the Sun after the Andean winter, and were the most important festival in the Inca calendar. Today the Inti Raymi celebrations focus on the town of Otavalo, which is a centre of indigenous culture in Ecuador. Things begin with a trip to the nearby Peguche waterfall, where people bathe in the waters to ritually cleanse themselves, before heading back into Otavalo to begin the dancing and drinking that typify just about any Andean festival!Ecuador's Inca heritage is often oftenlooked, so Inti Raymi is a great reminder of the fact that the Incas weren't just in Peru!Ask us about this Festival in Otavalo"

"text": "Ecuador may be one of the smaller countries in South America, but it boasts varied landscapes and climates, offering something for every type of traveler. Generally speaking, Ecuador experiences only two seasons each year, a wet season and a dry season, but these seasons vary across the country depending on altitude. Crowds don't necessarily correspond with the changes in season, either, as tourists tend to visit Ecuador during European and North American school holidays. January Through May This is the coolest, wettest time of year in most parts of Ecuador, and also when the ocean waters off the coast and around the Galapagos Islands are at their calmest and warmest. The Amazon is particularly wet during this time of year, so roads through the jungle are blocked relatively frequently, and some parts of the forest experience flooding. The milder temperatures in the jungle and along the coast during these months are attractive to some tourists, but keep in mind that mosquitoes and sand flies are out in full force during the wet times of year, so pack plenty of insect repellent if you plan to visit Ecuador during the wet season. Ecuador's highlands, on the other hand, are warmer during these months, though the heavier precipitation persists. Expect big crowds at the Galapagos in January. It coincides with school holidays and presents some of the best ocean conditions. The rain doesn't impact visibility or activity of wildlife in the Galapagos, either."

Ecuador is a multiethnic society, a home to people of various ethnic origins; as a result, Ecuadorians do not equate their nationality with their ethnicity, but rather their allegiance or affinity for Ecuador. Majority of Ecuadorians trace their origins to one or more of three geographical sources of human migrations to the territory of modern Ecuador: the pre-Hispanic indigenous populations who settled the region over 15,000 years ago, the Europeans (principally Spaniards which are also the source of the Spanish language) who arrived over five centuries ago, and ultimately the sub-Saharan Africans who were imported to New Spain as slaves during the same period. The mixing of two or more of these three groups established other mixed ethnic groups. Mestizos, the multiracial group of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry, are by far the largest of all the ethnic groups and comprise around 71.9% of the current population. Whites are estimated at 6.1% and consist largely of those of unmixed or predominant European descent. [ 10] Most white Ecuadorians are of colonial-era Spanish origin, also known as criollos (literally meaning \"\"local-born Spaniards\"\", as opposed to \"\" Peninsulares \"\", which were Spaniards born in the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. They also include descendants of immigrants from Italy, Germany, and France, as well as other countries."

Early life and start in politics Correa, whose maternal grandfather was a great-nephew of former president José Eloy Alfaro, had a difficult childhood. During a period of unemployment, his father agreed to carry illegal drugs aboard a flight to the United States and was arrested and served several years in jail. Correa attended the prestigious San José La Salle high school on a scholarship, and he spent a year as a church-sponsored volunteer with Quechua -speaking Indians in Cotopaxi province. He later received a master’s degree from the Catholic University of Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and a doctorate from the University of Illinois; his thesis examined the effects of economic globalization on living standards in the less-developed world. Correa served briefly as Ecuador’s finance minister in 2005. The following year he ran for president on a platform that called for constitutional reform. A skilled and charismatic political campaigner, he easily defeated Álvaro Noboa, a wealthy banana-plantation owner, in a runoff vote. Presidency After taking office in 2007, Correa increased agricultural subsidies and dramatically raised spending on social programs, most notably health care and education. His government also seized companies owned by members of a powerful family implicated in a banking scandal in the 1990s."

A very unique dining experience Brazilian Churrasco - © laughingmango/Istockphoto To have Brazilian churrasco - as long as you're not vegetarian, of course - it's a must-do assignment when ready to experience some Brazilian food, whether you are visiting Brazil or booking a table in a Brazilian restaurant at home or abroad. If you happen to be spending some holidays in Brazil head off to the nearest churrascaria (steakhouse) sign you see and you'll be eating grilled meat until you raise the white flag. It's commonly served on an \"\"all you can eat basis\"\" which basically means a group of waiters walking around and slicing meat straight from the skewer onto your plate until you drop dead or just about. This way of serving is known in Portuguese as rodizio or espeto corrido. The term churrasco refers generally to any cut of meat cooked on a bed of hot coals or using a skillet. Brazilian churrasco would include fraldinha, picanha, porco (pork), frango (chicken), cabrito (goat) galinha do coracao (chicken hearts) and spicy sausages like linguica. Popular side plates include a variety of green salads, potato and carrots with mayo, beetroot, bean salad, heart of palm and tomato salad. The Argentinian counterpart of a Brazilian steakhouse or churrascaria it's called parrilla, including this and other cuts of meat and inside parts of veal such as riñones, mollejas, chinchulines, ubre and the usual chorizo and morcilla as an entree. Chimichurri and salsa criolla would be part of the equation, of course. The history of churrasco goes back to the times of the gauchos - known as cowboys in US, vaqueiros in Brazil, llaneros in Venezuela and Colombia, guasos in Chile, etc - that originated at the end of the 1600s, when the Spanish conquistadores brought the horse to the New World."

Different Levels of Security Clearance A United States government security clearance determines what types of classified information that an applicant can see. Nearly 80% of the security clearances are for the Department of Defense (Do D) with other notable agencies including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Energy (Do E), Department of Justice (Do J) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). A certain level of security clearance must be established to hold key government positions. There are two types of security clearances: 1) Personnel Security Clearance (PCL) and 2) Facility Security Clearance (FCL). There are three main security clearance categories: 1) Confidential, 2) Secret and 3) Top Secret. The Do E has its own designations of “L” (Secret) and “Q” (Top Secret)."

Whether you are a military member and already part of the Department of Defense, or a civilian seeking a job within the Do D, you might require an active secret-level Do D security clearance. A secret classification is assigned to information which, if obtained by unauthorized personnel, could cause grave harm to the country's national security interests. You cannot request a clearance on your own -- only a potential employer within Do D or a related contractor can request you be granted a clearance. This typically occurs in conjunction with your selection for a Do D position. This does not mean your employment is imminent, however -- such clearances can take anywhere from six months to a year or more to complete. Application Process Filling out Standard Form 86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions is required to apply for a Do D secret security clearance. You can complete this electronically, through the U. S. government's e-QIP program, or by completing a hard copy of the form. This extensive questionnaire requires a lot of information about your past residences, jobs held, overseas travel and acquaintances. It is used by U. S. government investigators to thoroughly review your background and character."

"text": "\"Security Clearance Process What are the steps to getting a Personnel Clearance (PCL)? For Do D clearances a cleared contractor or Do D Government agency identifies an employee or employment candidate with a need to have access to classified information. Once identified, the contractor’s Facility Security Officer (FSO) or the Government agency’s Security Manager (SM) submits an investigation request through the Joint Personnel Adjudication System ( JPAS) and ensures that the individual completes a clearance application in the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing ( e-QIP ). The FSO then reviews, approves, and forwards the completed e-QIP to DSS PSMO-I for their approval, issuance of an interim clearance, and release to Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) for investigation. For most federal employees and all military personnel the Government agency SM reviews, approves, makes an interim clearance decision, and releases the completed e-QIP to OPM. OPM conducts an investigation and sends the results of the investigation to Do D CAF. Do D CAF either grants a clearance or issues a Letter of Intent to deny clearance with a Statement of Reasons. Clearances for other federal agencies are processed in essentially the same manner, but can involve a different Investigation Service Provider (ISP). How are security clearance investigations carried out? A National Agency Check (NAC), police record checks, and credit check are components of all clearance investigations."

The United States government classification system is established under Executive Order 13526, the latest in a long series of executive orders on the topic. [ 1] Issued by President Barack Obama in 2009, Executive Order 13526 replaced earlier executive orders on the topic and modified the regulations codified to 32 C. F. R. 2001. It lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U. S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments. [ 2]The desired degree of secrecy about such information is known as its sensitivity. Sensitivity is based upon a calculation of the damage to national security that the release of the information would cause. The United States has three levels of classification: Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. Each level of classification indicates an increasing degree of sensitivity. Thus, if one holds a Top Secret security clearance, one is allowed to handle information up to the level of Top Secret, including Secret and Confidential information. If one holds a Secret clearance, one may not then handle Top Secret information, but may handle Secret and Confidential classified information."

The dramatic disclosures by Edward Snowden show just how vulnerable even the most rigorous screening can be to contractors or employees who’ve made up their minds to share the nation’s secrets. The process for clearing trustworthy men and women is intense — but imperfect. And with so many people who have access to classified information, there are limits to how much the government can do to stop determined leakers. “When you have a national security apparatus that’s this comprehensive and wide-ranging … you’re going to need a lot of manpower,” said Jack Lerner, a digital privacy and national security expert at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law. “ They have ways of determining whether or not someone is trustworthy. And if you have 4.9 million people that you’re making a call on, you’re going to get it wrong once or twice.” ( PHOTOS: 10 famous/infamous whistleblowers)There are three basic levels of security clearance in the U. S. intelligence community: confidential, secret and top secret. In a touch of irony, given Snowden’s leak, those classification levels are based on how much damage would be done to national security if the information they cover were improperly revealed."

You will enjoy many pleasurable hours with your pups, if you also make a profit, that is fine. But go into this venture with the realization that you may do everything right and still not raise a single pup. You may be emotionally traumatized by having your favorite pup die in your hands. You may lose every dollar you spend. Do not breed your bitch unless you are sure that you or a responsible person will be available to care for the bitch when she is ready to whelp and have time to care for the pups for the first few weeks.

"text": "Denial Of Abortion Care Due To Gestational Age Limits Diana Greene Foster, Loren M. Dobkin, Ushma D. Upadhyay Many women are denied wanted abortions in the US. This happens for medical, personal and financial reasons and because women are just too far advanced in pregnancy by the time they present at the abortion facility near them. In the US, each abortion facility sets their own gestational limits, based on physician training, clinician and staff comfort, facility regulations, institutional policy and legal restrictions. Although the phenomenon of women presenting at an abortion facility beyond the gestational limit is not uncommon, it has not been well documented or studied. The Title X Family Planning Program, the only dedicated source of federal funding for family planning services in the US, requires all subsidized facilities to provide “factual information…on each of the [pregnancy] options, and referral upon request”. 1 While many professional health care associations offer more specific guidance for pregnancy options counseling, 2, 3, 4, 5 only very rarely do they advise clinicians to assess gestational age prior to making referrals for abortion. 6 For a clinician, the experience of counseling women who are past the gestational limit can be memorable. In her first year of the family nurse practitioner program at the University of California, San Francisco, Loren Dobkin remembers counseling a teenaged woman about her pregnancy options, overlooking the possibility that the woman might be too far along to receive an abortion. During my first year of training as a primary care provider, I received a lecture about how to counsel women about their options for continuing or terminating an unintended pregnancy. That same week, my last patient, “Rachel,” presented for pregnancy testing."

If you are experiencing one of these scenarios, it might be time to give your OB the boot!1. Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen: If you are a pregnant patient in a large practice, you may be forced to see a different OB at each of your prenatal appointments.

"text": "Print Diagnosis Conjoined twins can be diagnosed using standard ultrasound as early as the end of the first trimester. More-detailed ultrasounds and echocardiograms can be used about halfway through pregnancy to better determine the extent of the twins' connection and the functioning of their organs. If an ultrasound detects conjoined twins, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may be done. The MRI may provide greater detail about where the conjoined twins are connected and which organs they share. Treatment Treatment of conjoined twins depends on their unique circumstances — their health, where they're joined, and whether they share organs or other vital structures. Monitoring during pregnancy If you're carrying conjoined twins, you should be closely monitored throughout your pregnancy. You'll likely be referred to a maternal and fetal medicine doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancy. You may also be referred to other specialists such as pediatric surgeons, pediatric cardiologists and neonatologists. Your doctors and others on your health care team learn as much as possible about your twins' anatomy, functional capabilities and prognosis to form a treatment plan for your twins. Delivery A surgical delivery (C-section) is planned ahead of time, often two to four weeks before your due date."

"text": "Your Pregnancy Weeks 10-16Throughout the course of your pregnancy, you will see your doctor about 14 times, assuming all tests are reassuring that your baby is developing just fine. After your first prenatal visit and until week 28 you should plan to see the doctor once a month. Understanding what to expect with your pregnancy week-by-week will help you calm any fears you may have and make the best possible preparations. Here’s what you can expect during your pregnancy weeks 10-16: Prenatal Appointments: Weeks 10 – 12Your 2 ndprenatal appointment occurs between your 10 thand 12 thweek of pregnancy. Starting now, you’ll realize that almost every prenatal appointment starts with a nurse taking your weight and blood pressure and with a urine sample. The urine test looks for bacteria and high levels of sugar and protein in your system, which could indicate diabetes, urinary tract infection, kidney disease, or preeclampsia (high blood pressure). Preeclampsia typically occurs later in pregnancy if it occurs at all. During the second prenatal appointment, the doctor will discuss all the results of the pap, blood, and urine testing completed at your first prenatal appointment. It’s also the time when you’ll discuss the results of the cystic fibrosis test (if administered), the Rh factor test, and the notes from your genetics counseling visit. If you choose to have a nuchal translucency screening (also called an NT scan) to test for the possibility of Down syndrome, this will be administered during your second appointment."

"text": "Healthy Options for Pregnancy & Prenatal Care Katie - Wellness Mama 174 Comments Updated: January 11, 2018 This post contains affiliate links Twitter Facebook Google+ Pinterest Reddit I’ve gotten several questions lately about the various tests and procedures that come with pregnancy and birth and what I choose. These are topics that I researched extensively when I was expecting my first and have continued to research throughout my pregnancies, so I have shared my opinions and research below. I’ve also written in depth about my own pregnancy and birth experiences and how I’ve come to my opinions. I am not a doctor or midwife and you should always consult with yours before making any decisions during pregnancy. Personally, while I often feel that some tests and procedures are not needed, I still consent to some of them to make my doctor/midwife more comfortable and more willing to agree to my non-intervention approach to birth and after care. I think that each option should be carefully researched and weighed by an individual couple after taking in to account their specific circumstances. Prenatal Vitamins Or Not? Typically, prenatal vitamins are recommended during pregnancy. While these are certainly beneficial for many people, especially those who aren’t getting adequate nutrition from diet, but I don’t usually take them for several reasons: Most contain synthetic forms of Vitamin A and other vitamins that are not only not beneficial during pregnancy but can also be harmful As I’ve mentioned before, you can’t out supplement a bad diet, and while some high quality vitamins can fill in the gaps from a poor diet, they won’t take the place of it and can give a false sense of health I personally notice that I feel better when I take certain isolated nutrients instead and concentrate on an extremely nutrient rich diet As I said, this is something that is very individualized, but during pregnancy, I take:1-2 teaspoons of fermented cod liver oil daily for the vital fat soluble vitamins Consistant daily magnesium intake before and during pregnancy ( this post explains what I used) This is also supposed to help with labor- I’ll let you know!Daily bone broth for the minerals and gelatin800 micrograms of folate (not folic acid!!! it is synthetic) daily before and during the first trimester ( this is the one I take)Lots of probiotics, fermented food, and fermented drinks daily since baby inherits my gut bacteria."

Midwives are formally trained and fully integrated primary healthcare professionals who provide comprehensive care to women during pregnancy, labour and birth, and the first six weeks postpartum. Across the rest of the world, most babies are born into the hands of capable midwives. The term ‘Registered Midwife’ is a protected title in BC, and indicates that the midwife has met the standards to register with the College of Midwives of British Columbia, and maintains her status through ongoing recertification and training. What are the advantages of midwifery care? Midwifery clients experienced lower rates of forceps, vacuum extractions, caesarean sections, episiotomies, infections and babies born requiring resuscitation in studies where midwifery care was compared to physician-led care. Midwifery clients are encouraged to make informed choices about their care, and have access to all routine medical testing during their pregnancy including blood work, genetic testing and ultrasounds. In addition, midwifery clients benefit from knowing and trusting their midwives, with whom they develop a close relationship during pregnancy. Paramount to midwifery practice is that women feel respected and supported so that they are able to experience pregnancy, give birth, and become mothers with power and dignity. What kind of training do midwives have?"

( The right lung has three lobes, and the left lung has two lobes.) A lobectomy is also occasionally performed for other conditions, such as tuberculosis, severe COPD, or trauma that interrupts major blood vessels near the lungs. Types of Lung Cancer Surgery How do doctors decide that a lobectomy is the best type of lung cancer surgery for you? The type of lung cancer surgery your doctor recommends will depend on several factors, including: The location of your tumor The size of your tumor Whether or not your tumor has spread to nearby tissues Your general state of health How well your lungs are functioning prior to surgery A lobectomy is most commonly performed for a non-small cell lung cancers in which the tumor is confined to a single lobe. It is less invasive and conserves more lung function that a pneumonectomy, a procedure that involves removing an entire lung. In contrast, it is somewhat more extensive than a wedge resection, a surgery which removes the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue. Types of Lobectomy A lobe of your lung can be removed by a few different methods. Your surgeon will recommend one of these based upon both the characteristics of your particular cancer and how comfortable he is with each of the procedures: Open lobectomy: In an open lobectomy, a lobe of the lungs is removed through a long incision on the side of the chest ( thoracotomy ). VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery ) lobectomy: In this procedure, a lobe of the lung is removed through a few small incisions in the chest with the assistance of instruments and a camera."

Advances in the field of minimally invasive surgery aims at delivering quality surgical results without large incisions and without the risk of injury to the surrounding structures that typically happens in traditional surgeries. Lungs cancer treatment in India at any stage particularly in early stage (stage I, II) and even stage III is more successful as minimally invasive surgery is done through VATS (video assisted thoracic surgery) that provides many advantages for the patient suffering from lung cancer. Overview Cancer happens when the cells in a part of the body grow abnormally faster and in uncontrolled manner due to mutation in the DNA of the cells. Similarly cancer in the lungs happens when the cancer cells invades the lungs and destroy the healthy cells of the lungs thereby hindering the normal functions of the lung. Cancer in lungs may take several years to develop. At times, these cancer cells may spread to affect other parts of the body through metastasis. The lungs cancer often go unnoticed in early stages as it hardly produces any symptoms. The advanced cancer may show up symptoms like blood in the cough, persistent cough, chest pain, hoarseness in the voice, recurrent chest infection etc. There are two main types of lungs cancer;Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): Small cell lung cancer starts in the air tubes that advances to the bronchi and affect the lung tissue."

"text": "Introduction to Pleural Effusions Published March 17, 2007 | By Dr West | 69 Comments Download PDF of this page Pleural effusions related to lung cancer are quite common, so it’s time that I discussed this issue. First, a pleural effusion is fluid outside of the lung, and it tends to follow gravity and pool at the bottom (base) of the lung, primarily along the back. Here’s how it appears on a chest x-ray, filling up the bottom of the left side of the chest. The right side, in contrast, is mostly black, which is the way lungs should appear on a chest-x-ray (but not in real life, we hope). ( click to enlarge)However, pleural effusions can also be loculated, which means that they don’t follow gravity but rather are contained in pockets that are formed from scar tissue, inflammation, etc. Here’s a CT image showing a loculated effusion on the left side, not freely flowing in the chest to follow gravity: A few starting points to make. Not all pleural effusions in the world are from cancer, and in fact, it’s probably just under half, with the balance being from infections and inflammatory reactions. Among the approximately 45% of effusions that are from cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer account for about 60%, with lung cancer as the leading cause (a little more than 1/3 of all malignant, or cancer-related, pleural effusions). They are important because the presence of cancer in the pleural fluid indicates systemic/advanced disease (although in SCLC the presence of a malignant effusion on the same side as the primary cancer is sometimes considered limited, and sometimes extensive, with no clear consensus), and because people can have symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and sometimes pain from a pleural effusion, and relieving those symptoms is an important goal in managing lung cancer. Clarifying that a pleural effusion is malignant can be challenging."

"text": "Home Business tax Import and export: customs declarations, duties and tariffs Guidance Exporting goods outside the EUCustoms requirements, duties and VAT you must pay to export goods to a 'third country' outside the EU. Published 2 August 2012 Last updated 5 April 2016 — see all updates From: HM Revenue & Customs Contents Introduction VAT on exports and other taxes Export licences and other controls Export declarations Moving goods through the EU to non-EU countries (indirect exports)Duty reliefs Preferential trade agreements Key export control documents Further information Introduction If you export goods to countries outside the EU (known as ‘third countries’), you must have the appropriate licences and make export declarations to customs through the National Export System ( NES ). You must also make sure that VAT, import taxes and duties in the destination country are paid where necessary, and follow transport procedures, though this is normally the responsibility of the importing person or company. There are a number of export procedures, such as duty relief schemes which can benefit businesses. VAT on exports and other taxes When a third country receives your goods, it may charge duty. A third country may also charge their own equivalent of VAT or purchase tax. Zero-rating your goods You can usually zero-rate goods you’re exporting out of the EU as long as you:ensure they leave the EU within set time limits (typically 3 months)keep satisfactory evidence of their departurehold sufficient evidence from your accounting records to prove that a transaction has taken placekeep official evidence of export - either the Goods Departure Message for goods leaving the EU direct from the UK (direct exports) or, for goods leaving the EU via other member states (indirect exports), an Export Accompanying Document ( EAD) - the EAD must be stamped by customs in the last member state where the goods exit the EU - the office of exit Ultimately, the VAT treatment will depend on whether you’re exporting the goods directly or indirectly, when you organise delivery and when your customer arranges collection. Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP)If you export processed foods or agricultural goods covered by the CAP, you may be entitled to a refund or required to pay a levy. You may also have to apply for a licence to export certain goods above a defined quantity. Origin Rules Even if your customer is responsible for paying duty on the goods in the destination third country, you need to provide the right documentation."

"text": "March 18, 2013 by Andrew Minalto - 779 Comments How to Import Products from China!Many of you will choose to import goods from abroad (outside the European Union). If and when you do, it’s essential to fully understand how importing works; what extra costs are involved, time frames for delivery etc. For many new traders, Importing sounds like a nightmare to go through. But in fact, it’s not that complicated at all IF you know the basics behind the importing process – payment, shipping, taxes and customs. In this blog post I’ll try to cover most of the important aspects of importing from China and other countries outside the EU. What does “importing” mean? In general, importing means that you’re buying goods from a supplier outside your country. However, in my examples I won’t be counting European Union countries as goods can be freely moved across the EU without paying extra import duty or VAT. For most of you, China and the United States will be the top two countries to import from, so let’s cover them in detail. Shipping Methods Shipping costs will make up a substantial percentage of your total product cost, so it’s important to keep them as low as possible at all times."

Lung surgery is carried out to help patients with different conditions. Some patients need lung surgery because they have emphysema, lung cancer, or other cancers that have spread to the lungs. Sometimes, surgery is needed to take biopsies (tissue samples) of the lung for diagnosis. What if my tests reveal cancer? If your tests reveal cancer, your consultant will discuss the most appropriate treatment with you. This may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, other forms of medication (targeted therapies), or a combination of treatments. If you feel the need to talk to someone about your condition, treatment, or any other concerns, clinical staff are always available.

"text": "Uncategorized Published on December 18th, 2015 | by Martin Clancy Stamp Duty Explained Stamp Duty is the tax levied by the Government for changing the documents that specify who owns a particular property irrespective of whether it’s a new build or second-hand property. It’s thought to have originated in Spain and goes back to the days when a physical stamp (a revenue stamp) had to be attached to a document to show that duty had been paid. How much is Stamp Duty? The amount is based on the type and cost of the property and whether it is a residential or non-residential property. For residential property, it is calculated at 1% of the selling price of any property up to €1m. For amounts above €1m you will be charged 2%. For example: If you buy a home that is worth €300,000, you will pay stamp duty of €3,000. It is worth noting that stamp duty is not part of your mortgage and needs to be saved separately to what you have for your deposit. Buying a New Build? VAT is charged on new build homes but not on second-hand homes."

My journey started with a sinus infection from hell lasted about six weeks moved down to my upper chest, ent doc said it was from nose polyps and really did not care much about my chest, family doc said I had bronchi infection, my wife was worried and made me a appoint at a lung doc, he ordered a x-ray and found a 2.5 cm nodule in my right lower lobe. He then did not care about my prior sickness and was more concerned about my newly discovered nodule, so off I went for a CAT scan and blood work, which confirmed I had a single 2.5 to 2.9 cm nodule in my right lung and that everything else looked normal. Next step was off for a fine needle aspiration biopsy and the dreaded result came back positive for moderately to poorly differentiated Adenocarcinoma. Well the lung doc was positive and said this singe 2.5 to 2.9 cm adenocarcinoma nodule was operable and that I was lucky and sent me off to a surgeon. Now I get to have a pet scan and I am being scheduled for a right lower lobe removal open surgery with in 2 weeks. The surgeon said an open is better than a vats because the outcome is better with removing the nodule and not spreading the cancer into my blood stream. Also while they are in there he said he will remove some of my lymph nodes for testing. Well bummer this is all happening pretty fast so far the lung doc and the surgeon says I am lucky and that this is very early stage, however need to wait for PET scan this week yet."

"text": "Cardioversion Updated: Dec 21,2016What is cardioversion? If your heart has an irregular (uneven) beat or is beating too fast, cardioversion is a way to restore a regular rhythm. Abnormal heart rhythms are called arrhythmias. There are two kinds of cardioversion. Your doctor may give you one or more medicines to bring back your regular heartbeat. This is called pharmacologic (chemical) cardioversion. Doctors also restore regular rhythms by sending an electrical shock to the heart. This is called electrical cardioversion. Quick facts Arrhythmias may prevent blood from circulating properly to your heart and brain. Most often, doctors use cardioversion to treat a fast, irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation."

Cardioversion is a procedure that uses medicine or electric shocks to correct arrhythmias. An arrhythmia is a heartbeat that is too slow, too fast, or irregular. It may prevent your body from getting the blood and oxygen it needs. Your heart has 4 chambers, called the atria and ventricles. The atria are at the top of your heart, and the ventricles are at the bottom of your heart. Most arrhythmias that need cardioversion start in the atria. How do I prepare for cardioversion? You may need a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) before your cardioversion. A TEE is an ultrasound to check for clots in your heart."

In Community A, when the call is received by the emergency dispatcher, immediate CPR instructions are given over the telephone. A fire department aid unit, staffed with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and equipped with an automated external defibrillator (AED), arrives in four minutes and the first shock is delivered within five minutes of collapse. Six minutes later, paramedics arrive to stabilize the patient. In Community A, you stand a one in three chance of walking out of the hospital alive. Now let’s consider Community B. In Community B, there is no dispatcher-assisted telephone CPR program and first responders are not equipped with AEDs. Paramedics typically arrive within 10 minutes of collapse, but since bystanders did not provide CPR and first responders did not provide defibrillation, there is little chance of resuscitation. In Community B, your chance of surviving cardiac arrest is close to zero. The difference in survival between Community A and Community B clearly lies in the time from collapse to CPR and the time from collapse to delivery of the first defibrillatory shock. Automated external defibrillation offers the best means to provide a crucial life-saving shock quickly."

Last updated Fri 22 December 2017By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by University of Illinois-Chicago, School of Medicine What is blood pressure? Symptoms Causes Hypotension and shock Diagnosis Prevention Low blood pressure, or hypotension, is not often considered to be a major problem. However, severe hypotension can indicate an underlying problem, and it can lead to serious heart disorders and organ failure, because oxygen and nutrients may not reach key organs. Hypotension is linked to shock, a life-threatening condition. The American Heart Association (AHA) notes that as long as a person does not experience symptoms, low blood pressure is not a problem. Having a low reading is often considered an advantage, as it reduces the risk of a dangerously high blood pressure . What is blood pressure? The heart is a muscle that pumps blood around the body continuously. Blood that is low in oxygen is pumped towards the lungs, where it picks up oxygen."

"text": "\"Health How Long Does Your Heart Have to Stop For Before You Can't Be Treated? Scott - Today IFound Out.com11/04/13 6:20am 46 3The question of how long someone's heart would have to be stopped for before you can safely say that regardless of what you do, you're not going to be able to revive them is a very tricky question. It's not as simple as saying after 10 or even 20 minutes there's no hope. For instance, there are countless people who have been subject to hypothermia, have their heart stopped for over 45 minutes, and still have been successfully revived. So many, in fact, that the current guideline set by the American Heart Association (AHA) is that you continue trying to revive the person until their core body temperature is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit- 95 degrees, because below that is the technical definition of hypothermia. The mantra in that situation is, \"\"They're not dead until they're warm and dead. \"\" In other situations, numerous factors need to be considered when deciding when to stop trying to resuscitate someone, such as how quickly CPR was started after their heart stopped; how well CPR was performed (note: CPR does not require mouth to mouth and recent studies seem to indicate the person has a better chance of surviving with just compressions in most cases ); the types of medications used during the resuscitation; the medical history of the person, known as comorbid factors; and, finally, the cause of the cardiac arrest in the first place. With this in mind, let's take a quick look at some of the most common things to consider when trying to resuscitate someone, and how long you would try to revive them in those situations. The first, and most important thing to consider is the point of trying to revive the heart in the first place- that's to supply the body, and most importantly brain cells, with adequate blood flow. The first question any rescuer needs to consider is, \"\"What's the likelihood that the victim's brain cells are still functioning?\"\""

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small electronic device connected to the heart. It is used to continuously monitor and help regulate potentially fast and life-threatening electrical problems with the heart. The ICD, about the size of a stopwatch, is implanted under the skin just below the collarbone. It consists of a pulse generator and wires, called leads. The pulse generator contains the battery and a tiny computer. One or more lead wires connect the pulse generator to specific locations in the heart. The ICD responds to irregular life-threatening heart rhythms from the lower chambers of the heart with pacing that corrects a fast rhythm and promotes a normal heartbeat, or a shock (defibrillation) that resets the heart rhythm to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. An ICD also records and stores information about your heart rhythm and therapies delivered by the ICD for your doctor to review. Most people are unaware when the ICD is pacing the heart."

The procedure can transform a flabby stomach into a toned, flat midsection by removing excess skin and fat and repairing separated stomach muscles. However, it’s important to maintain realistic expectations. A tummy tuck won’t give you an instant six-pack or remove your love handles. Learning about what to expect during the first few days and weeks after your procedure can help prepare you for the best results. Post-Surgery A tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure, so it’s important that you arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery. Your surgeon will fit you with a surgical binder, which helps to reduce swelling and promote healing. You’ll wear this compression garment for the first several weeks of recovery. The swelling should gradually resolve over 6 to 8 weeks. Recommended Activity In the first few days, your stomach will feel sore and tight, which will limit your mobility."

"text": "Overview Tummy tuck A tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen. During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. In most cases, the connective tissues in the abdomen are tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look. You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have skin that's accumulated around the area of your bellybutton and a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image. Why it's done A flabby abdomen is caused not only by the accumulation of fat, but also by the poor elasticity of the skin, excess skin, and the stretching of the inner girdle of connective tissue (abdominal fascia) and abdominal muscles that extends from the ribs to the pubic bone. This inner girdle, which holds the internal organs in place, is responsible for the tone and appearance of the abdomen. Your abdomen is more likely to protrude after your abdominal fascia has been stretched during pregnancy or after significant changes in your weight. A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia."

By Cameron Craven, MD, FACS • March 12, 2014 • 11 Comments Share Tweet +1 2 Pin Many of our patients that are interested in a flatter stomach ask what the difference is between a tummy tuck and liposuction. After all both procedures can drastically help clients improve the abdominal area by creating a tone and tight midsection. However, liposuction and tummy tuck procedures are actually very different in terms of the results they provide. Liposuction Liposuction is ideal for removing localized fatty tissue that is centralized to specific areas (think “buldges”). The tumescent liposuction is specifically effective for safely removing excess stubborn fat. Liposuction is also far less invasive than a tummy tuck, which involves a scarring, general anesthesia, and long recovery times. Additionally liposuction can be used on many other places of the body than the stomach, including the sides (love handles), arms, chin, legs, and butt. Liposuction is perfect for people who generally have good skin and muscle tone. These are individuals who do not have issues like excess skin in the midsection or loose abdominal muscles."

Not only that, doing—or not doing—some things can also help you heal more quickly, and reduce the risk of complications. Tummy tuck preparation is exactly what is sounds like. Before you have tummy tuck surgery, we highly recommend you take the time to prepare for your upcoming procedure, and for your recovery period.

Blood Work for Tummy Tuck Surgery Two Weeks Before Surgery One Week Before Surgery Substitutions Prior to Surgery Night Before Tummy Tuck Day of Tummy Tuck Surgery Surgery Blood Work The first item on your tummy tuck preparation list is blood work. Before you have surgery, we'll need to make sure your hemoglobin, electrolytes, creatine, and INR (blood clotting ability) are all within normal levels.

While we don't perform blood work in our clinic, when you come in to TCC for your initial assessment, we'll provide you with a requisition form you can take to the lab of your choice."

What I'm referring to makes it look almost like there's a huge bulge with clothing on (yes, almost as if it's a man, if you get my drift). The pelvis also protrudes out so much below the flat stomach that the normal pubic hair won't grow in properly, but instead gets bare spots where clothing constantly rubs against it (similar to men's knees and legs from rubbing against pants all the time). The PS (very highly regarded, by the way) said he left it that way because it was a \"\"natural fat pad\"\" and that he didn't want to do anything to it that would \"\"desensitize\"\" the area below. However, it was never like that before the surgery. The TT was done to a friend of mine a few years ago, and she hates this aspect of it.

The recovery time for a tummy tuck varies for each individual, but generally takes at least 6-8 weeks. You will need someone to drive you home after the surgery and stay with you for the first 2 days. You will go home with a compression garment that you will need to wear at all times for the first 6 weeks to help control swelling and support your tummy as it heals. You will also go home with a drain or possibly two drains. You will need to empty and record the contents of your drain several times a day. The drain will stay in place from 10 to 14 days.

"text": "Tummy Tuck Risks and Side Effects Share Tummy tucks, also referred to as abdominoplasty, are among the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures, with nearly 150,000 performed in 2008 alone. While most of the procedures are performed safely and with a high degree of success, there are some potential tummy tuck risks and complications to be concerned about. Plastic Surgery Portal has a listing of the risks to watch out for with tummy tucks, along with things you can do to greatly minimize your potential for complications. Risks of Anesthesia Tummy tucks are done under both general anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation. General anesthesia tends to carry more risks, which include: Allergic reaction to the medication Nausea or vomiting during or after the procedure Increased heart rate and blood pressure Aspiration (occurs when fluid is inhaled into the respiratory tract)Anesthesia risks are rare and can be further minimized by having an experienced anesthesiologist present to monitor the patient during the entire procedure. Local anesthesia with sedation offers fewer risks, which might include a headache or hung over feeling after the surgery. If you are concerned about the risks associated with general anesthesia, talk to your doctor about whether local anesthesia with sedation would be a better choice for you. General Plastic Surgery Risks Every surgery offers the potential for a list of standard complications that may be seen with nearly any type of procedure performed. General surgical risks include: Infection Excessive bleeding from the incision site Swelling or bruising, particularly at the incision site Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis Hematoma (collection of blood outside the blood vessel), or seroma (pocket of clear fluid)Tissue death or skin numbness Scarring after the procedure Most of these risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon and following pre- and post-operative instructions carefully. For example, the risk of blood clots can be reduced by wearing surgical compression garments for a period of time after the procedure."

If you are addicted to smoking, there are high chances that your surgery could involve certain complications. The presence of elements like nicotine, hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide present in the cigarettes are extremely detrimental to the skin as they hinder blood flow. During the tummy tucking surgery and after this procedure, adequate blood flow to the skin cells is very important. When there is a scarcity of blood flow in these areas, myriad complications arise in the surgery."

"text": "Tummy Tuck If you have had children or lost a significant amount of weight, you have probably noticed that excess skin has gradually accumulated on your stomach. This loose skin can be especially frustrating for patients because it does not respond to diet and exercise. In fact, you could be in the best shape of your life, but still have flaps of excess skin on the abdomen or other areas of the body. The only effective treatment for excess abdominal skin is the tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, procedure. Kennesaw tummy tuck surgeons Marcus Crawford and Steven Bailey perform the treatment to address extra skin, weakened stomach muscles, and stretch marks on the lower abdomen. The Tummy Tuck Procedure The mini and traditional tummy tuck procedures (a.k.a. mini-abdominoplasty and abdominoplasty) can be performed on an outpatient basis; most extended tummy tuck operations are performed on inpatient basis and require a one-night stay in the hospital. All tummy tuck patients are put under general anesthesia for the two to three hour procedure; this is done for both your safety and comfort. An incision is then created just below the underwear line so any resulting scarring remains hidden when you are wearing bathing suits or low-rise jeans. The length of the incision depends upon the type of tummy tuck procedure that is appropriate for your individual case."

It was hard to be on my back and to sleep the first week. Only thing sore was my butt from all the sitting, and sleeping in a crunched position. No drains were used, but after 3 weeks, the doctor did drain fluid. I felt really swollen, especially lower ab and pubic area for 3 weeks. After I was drained, my body finally was able to absorb and get rid of the excess fluid. I wear the binder full time first 4 weeks, now wearing spanx type garmet for next two weeks. I feel great.

It might just be lax and wrinkled skin that has lost its elasticity, but in more extreme cases the muscles are stretched and there can be unattractive, overhanging folds of skin that won’t spring back into shape. Mr Nick Percival0% APRFinance Available More info Pregnancy, weight loss and the natural ageing process can leave behind excess, sagging skin around the stomach (abdomen) area, which can’t be banished through exercise or non-invasive treatments.

During your tummy tuck recovery, dressings or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and you may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your abdomen as it heals following surgery. Small, thin tubes may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect. You will be given specific instructions that may include: How to care for the surgical site and drains Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential for infection Specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health When to follow up with your plastic surgeon Be sure to ask your tummy tuck surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period: Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete? What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery? Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery? When will they be removed? When will the stitches be removed? How will I bathe?

"text": "Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery? Sometimes referred to as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that can significantly lessen the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Tummy tuck surgery is designed to remove excess fat and skin, improving a woman’s (usually) contour and potentially giving greater definition to her abs. The best candidates for abdominoplasty typically have excess, loose skin in the abdominal area that does not respond to diet and exercise. The procedure is also ideal for women who are experiencing abdominal muscle laxity as a result of one or more pregnancies, as well as patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and been left with excess, loose skin. Patients who struggle with excess fat but do not have a significant amount of excess skin in the abdominal region may benefit more from liposuction. The patient who may have excess skin with some excess fat may benefit from a “lipoabdominoplasty,” sometimes referred to as a “combituck. ”Click Here to View Our Patient Gallery What Are the Benefits of Tummy Tuck? A tummy tuck is primarily intended for patients who have redundant skin and mild fat accumulation along the abdomen. A tummy tuck is also useful for repairing and tightening stretched abdominal muscles that cause the abdomen to protrude further than normal."

However, by the mid-1870s the new Dominion of Canada sought both European and American immigrants to supplement the inadequate migration of eastern Canadians as farming settlers out west. Canadian politicians began to view western Canada as ideal for expanding Canadian agriculture, especially Wheat farming. In 1870 the Dominion government purchased Rupert’s Land from the Hudson’s Bay Company, then enacted the Dominion Lands Act in 1872; but although the Act opened this territory to free homesteading, it had a limited effect in attracting settlers. When the Canadian Pacific Railway reached Regina in 1882, homesteaders began to arrive; but it was not until a more aggressive settlement policy was inaugurated in 1896 by Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, that larger numbers of settlers came. Sifton sought to attract immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe as farmers, and opened alternate quarter-sections of railway lands in a first phase, creating a checkerboard settlement pattern. As Ethnic Bloc Settlements rapidly proliferated, there was a concomitant increase in ethnic diversity. Population Growth This settlement process was well underway when the province of Saskatchewan was created in 1905. Regina, the “Queen City,” was the focal point of the new province, the seat of the provincial government. Saskatoon, emerging out of the Temperance Colony and destined to be the location of the larger university, had a population of only 4,500 when it officially became a city in 1906."

"text": "Seedbed preparation | Seed selection | Time of seeding | Depth of seeding | Seeding rate Seedbed Preparation Like other cereal crops, fall rye will respond to a properly prepared seedbed. A good seedbed should be weed, disease and insect free. It should provide good seed/soil contact and be moist and warm. Since most fall rye is grown on light textured soils that are subject to wind erosion, pre-seeding tillage should be kept to a minimum. To aid in erosion control and to maximize snow trapping, use implements that will preserve the previous crop residue. Substituting herbicides for cultivation and seeding without pre-seeding tillage (minimum to zero till) are other practical considerations. Highest yields of fall rye occur when it is planted on summerfallow; however, winter kill is more likely to occur. In areas subject to winter kill, seed fall rye into the standing stubble of a spring-seeded crop. The stubble helps trap insulating snow, protecting young plants from severe winter weather. Under dry or firm soil conditions, seed with implements that minimize soil disturbance, such as air drills with disc or narrow openers, to prevent soil drying, Growing rye repeatedly on the same land increases the chance of ergot infection."

The Battle of Duck Lake (26 March 1885) was an infantry skirmish 2.5 km outside Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, between North-West Mounted Police forces of the Government of Canada, and the Métis militia of Louis Riel 's newly established Provisional Government of Saskatchewan. [ 4] The skirmish lasted approximately 30 minutes, after which Superintendent Leif Newry Fitzroy Crozier of the NWMP, his forces having endured fierce fire with twelve killed and eleven wounded, called for a general retreat. [ 5] The battle is considered the initial engagement of the North-West Rebellion.

Leif Crozier, the newly appointed NWMP superintendent and commander of North-Western Saskatchewan's forces, requested immediate reinforcement to Fort Carlton because he feared the growing instability created by Riel and the ever-growing possibility of a First Nations uprising.

Dry and extremely windy conditions are fueling the blaze, which has scorched more than 1,560 square kilometers (602 square miles) and ravaged the city of Fort Mc Murray, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Saturday. \"\" The situation remains unpredictable and dangerous,\"\" he told reporters. Alberta is \"\"tinder dry,\"\" he said, adding there was a possibility of a drop in temperature and a slight chance of rain early next week. A downpour is needed to tame the fire that is the size of Hong Kong and almost 25% bigger than New York City. It has displaced about 88,000 people, wiped out at least 1,600 structures and sent plumes of smoke as far away as Iowa. The fire may double in size, Goodale said.

Print Key Messages British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta are the top performers among all the provinces, earning “B” grades on the Education and Skills report card. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador all earn “D’s” overall, while P. E. I. earns a “D–,” scoring worse than the lowest-ranked international peer country. The largest provincial differences occur on student reading, science, and math skills—with provinces earning anywhere from an “A+” to a “D–” grade. Putting education and skills in context Education is typically seen as the most powerful route to improving private and public prosperity and well-being. Educated people not only earn higher incomes but also contribute disproportionally to business innovation, productivity, and national economic performance. There is a strong and direct relationship between educational attainment and economic growth. A 2003 multi-country study from the European Commission found that if the national average educational attainment level is increased by a single year, aggregate productivity increases by 6.2 per cent right away and by a further 3.1 per cent in the long run. 1Education also affects social outcomes. Higher educational attainment has been linked to increased civic engagement, higher life satisfaction, and lower crime rates."

In the past few years, a number of private member's bills have been introduced in the Ontario Legislature attempting to make it official, but none has passed to date. The concept of a midsummer holiday in Toronto dates as far back as 1869. In Toronto today, the holiday is celebrated as “Simcoe Day”, but according to recent studies, only 16% of the population actually knows that. While other Ontario municipalities have chosen to honour a significant local person or organization to help focus the celebration (see a selection in the chronology below), in most municipalities the day is referred to as the “August Civic Holiday”. The table below presents a selection of events in the history of the August Civic Holiday in Ontario. 1869 - Toronto City Council originated a midsummer holiday for a \"\"day of recreation\"\". 1871 - A Bank Holiday was established by the House of Commons in England.

Four provinces get D– grades for incomes per capita lower than the worst-performing peer country, France. Overall, Canada ranks 11th among the 16 peer countries and gets a D on income per capita. What is income per capita? Income per capita, calculated as gross domestic product per capita, is the most frequently used statistic for comparing economic well-being across countries. GDP is the total value of the goods and services produced in a country or region in a given time period. This report card indicator is measured per capita, because a country’s total income may rise as its population increases even though there may have been no improvement in the income level of the average citizen. To compare per capita income over time in real terms, the indicator is also adjusted to remove the effects of price changes. How do the provinces fare relative to Canada’s international peers? Alberta is once again the top-ranking province, earning an A grade for its GDP per capita of US$59,249 in 2016 (all numbers are in 2010 US$ at constant purchasing power parity) and placing third overall, behind Ireland (US$60,610) and Norway (US$59,366)."

Sciatica is pain in the lower back or hip that radiates down into the buttock and back of the leg along the sciatic nerve, often to the foot. Sciatic pain is the result of a pinched or inflamed sciatic nerve and can occur following an injury, muscular strain or herniated (“slipped”) vertebral disc that presses on the nerve. Fortunately, sciatica usually goes away on its own within a few weeks. What are the symptoms of sciatica? The pain of sciatica can take a number of forms – it may feel like a cramp in the leg, may worsen when you sit, sneeze or cough, and may show up as numbness, burning, tingling, an electrical shock or as “pins-and-needles” along the leg. Muscle weakness can occur either due to pain or pressure on the nerve. Loss of bowel or bladder control is a rare but serious complication that requires emergency treatment. Only 10 to 25 percent of all cases last more than six weeks and 80 to 90 percent of all people with sciatica recover, in time, without surgery. What are the causes of sciatica?"

Medications used to treat nerve pain vary, depending on the underlying cause. For example, nerve pain due to diabetes or ongoing pain after shingles may be treated with a topical medicine or antidepressant or antiseizure medication. Nerve pain due to abnormal nerve function or pressure on a nerve, such as with a herniated disc, may improve with injection of another type of medication. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Topical Medicines Applying medication to the area of discomfort sometimes provides temporary relief of nerve pain. The numbing medicine lidocaine is available as a cream, gel, spray or patch. While lidocaine works well for some people, it must be reapplied throughout the day, and the patch can only be worn for 12 hours per day. Another option is capsaicin, a derivative of chili peppers. According to a February 2013 article published in the \"\"Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,\"\" application of a high-dose, prescription capsaicin patch (Qutenza) appears most effective when treating conditions like nerve pain associated with shingles and human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. Capsaicin patch treatment is effective for about 12 weeks."

Watch Sciatica Treatment Video Article continues below Without exercise and movement, the back muscles and spinal structures become deconditioned and less able to support the back. The deconditioning and weakening can lead to back injury and strain, which causes additional pain. In addition, active exercise is also important for the health of the spinal discs.

It is due to the sciatic nerve being impinged by a tight piriformis muscle deep in the buttocks. Treatment involves reducing the painful symptoms then rehabilitating the muscle with strengthening and stretching exercises. Symptoms Piriformis syndrome symptoms consist of tenderness or pain in the buttock muscle which may radiate down the back of the leg into the hamstring muscles and sometimes even the calf muscles. It is common for pain to initially be confused with a hamstring strain or hamstring origin tendinopathy. However there will be no area in the hamstrings which is tender to touch. Other signs include reduced range of motion of the hip joint, especially into internal hip rotation is often seen. Causes It is usually overuse which causes the pirofirmis muscle to go into spasm resulting in pressure on the sciatic nerve.

It presents as a set of symptoms, including pain, which follows the sciatic nerve, usually beginning in the lower back. The pain often moves into the buttock, then the back or side of the thigh, and then travels down into the calf. The pain can even shoot into the feet and toes. There are two sciatic nerves, made of branches of lumbar nerves which come together to form one sciatic nerve on either side of the body. Each nerve then travels down each leg. Typically pain is felt only on one side. Besides pain, patients report numbness and or burning, tingling or muscle weakness, or difficulty moving or controlling the leg. These patients often find it difficult to sit or stand for any length of time without experiencing pain. The source of the pain is caused by irritation to the lumbar nerves that leave the spine as they begin to form the branches of the sciatic nerve."

"text": "How Long Does Sciatic Nerve Pain Last? Share 64 Tweet +1 Pin Share Stumble64As you may know, sciatic nerve pain and discomfort results from sciatic nerve irritation. Sciatic nerve pain varies from one adult to the next. Almost all of the pain and discomfort generally spreads from the lower back, down the leg or legs, to beneath the knee. Studies from research show that the most important nerve cluster, the sciatic nerve, begins from the roots in your lumbar part of the spinal column and extends through the hips, buttock, and down the lower limbs. The irritation of the sciatic nerve might be minimal to incapacitating. Commonly, the range of pain and the possibility of it worsening leave people who suffer from it wondering how long it may last. What will cause sciatic nerve pain? Clearly, there are numerous reasons for sciatic nerve pain. Additionally a number of causes are far more serious than others."

"text": "Sciatica: Treatment Options Written by Stewart G. Eidelson, MDEmail Print Sciatica is characterised by pain in the lower back and gluteal region. This pain can radiate down one or both legs into the thigh, calf, ankle, and foot. Genuine sciatica occurs when pain travels below the knee. Sciatic pain results when the base of the spine is compressed or when injury or pressure have compressed the spinal roots of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve systems are located in in the lumbar and the sacral regions of the spine. Sciatic pain or sciatica can be described as sharp, dull, burning, tingly, numb, continuous, or intermittant and usually affects only one side of the body. It can radiate the entire length of the nerve, in some cases all the way down to the toes. Sciatic pain is most often the result of a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or in extremely rare cases, infection or tumor. The cause of your pain determines your treatment options to relieve sciatica.

"text": "Anyone who is unfortunate enough to be afflicted with sciatica will know what an absolute plague it can be on your day to day life. It makes performing even the most simple tasks a tedious drudgery. Happily, there are many steps that can be taken in order to soothe sciatic pain, and there's at least one which you can do every day, in your own home, at your own convenience. TENS machines are a valuable weapon in the fight against sciatica; they work quickly and effectively to soothe discomfort, and have tangibly improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. In slightly more simple terms, it involves using electricity to stimulate your sciatic nerve and thus reduce the pain radiating from it. The TENS machine works by pumping low levels of electricity into the areas of your body that are causing you pain, hopefully relieving you of your discomfort. It doesn't necessarily sound the most enjoyable thing in the world, but actually TENS systems are entirely safe, and have a consistent track record of bringing immense relief to sufferers of sciatica. At the very low levels used in a TENS machine, electricity becomes a catalyst for a positive change in your body. The machines are easy enough to find, and some health insurance plans may cover the procurement of one, so there's little to lose by trying one out as a complimentary strategy to the therapy prescribed by your doctor."

I see more problems caused by them that end very badly. If you truly have sciatica, you need to have the cause diagnosed. This is of vital importance to determining the best course of treatment. The best way to diagnose your problem is via neuroimaging (radiology) by either an MRI or CT myelogram."

"text": "Sciatica What is sciatica? Sciatica is pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. The irritated nerve causes pain that runs down your leg from your lower back or hip. How does it occur? The sciatic nerve is formed by a group of nerves that run from the lower spine down the leg to the foot. Anything that irritates the nerve can cause sciatica. The most common causes are:overuse of your back (lifting something that is too heavy or doing work that uses your back much more than you are used to)injury to your back (slipping and falling, or having something hit your back). Overuse or injury can cause muscle tension or spasm, back sprains, ligament or muscle tears, or joint problems, all of which can irritate the sciatic nerve. Low back pain and sciatica can also be caused by infections, tumors, a ruptured (herniated) disk in your back, osteoporosis, spondylosis (hardening and stiffening of the spine), or spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal that squeezes the spinal cord and nerves). What are the symptoms?"

Sciatica describes pain felt along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back, down through the buttock, hamstrings and into the lower leg. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. The spinal sections it originates from include L4, L5 or S1. Sciatica is commonly misdiagnosed, which can result is either slow or non-responsive treatment. Leg pain can have various sources. It can be a local leg injury or it may even be referred from your lower back. The main nerve that travels from your lower back to your leg is your sciatic nerve. Irritation or pinching of your sciatic nerve can cause severe leg pain known as sciatica. Common Causes of Sciatica Pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc usually causes sciatica."

"text": "Bengali Languages - A Reflection of Geographical, Religious & Ethnic Origins Many people are surprised to find out that there are a great many languages in Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s official language is known as Bangla or Bengali and is spoken by the vast majority of the population. Bangla is also spoken in several other countries such as India, Malawi, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the USA where a number of Bangladesh expatriates may have taken up residence. There are a number of different Bangla dialects that are generally grouped according to the various regions in Bangladesh. Due to the British colonization of the country, English is also a widely spoken and commonly understood language in Bangladesh. Besides this, there are 38 languages that are in use in Bangladesh. If you travel around the country you might encounter languages such as Arakanese, Assamese, Bishnupriya, Burmese, Chak and Chakma. Other spoken languages include: Asho Chin, Bawm Chin, Falam Chin, Haka Chin, Khumi Chin, Chittagonian, Darlong, Garo, Hajong, Ho, Khasi, Koch, Kok Borok, Kurux, Megam, Meitei, Mizo, Mru, Mundari, Pankhu, Pnar, Rajbanshi, Riang, Oraon Sadri, Santali, Shendu, Sylheti, Tangchangya, Tippera, Usui and War. These languages may have geographical, religious or ethnic origins and are kept very much alive in their particular geographical areas. In addition to this, there are roughly 14 deaf institutions where Indian Sign Language is taught to the deaf population."

It is different from many Indo-Aryan languages like Bengali, Oriya, etc. The language originated and developed in Manipur and was originally confined to the surroundings of the Loktak Lake and is similar to the Assamese language. [ 3] Other authorities such as An account of the valley of Manipore by Col. Mc Cullock, [4]Descriptive Ethnology of Bengal by E. T. Dalton [5] and the Linguistic Survey of India by Dr. George A. Grierson [6] mention that the language was in existence in Manipur before the 19th century. Dr. Grierson refers to the language as \"\"Bishnupuriya Manipuri\"\", while some other writers call it simply \"\"Bishnupriya\"\". A great majority of speakers of BPM fled from Manipur and took refuge in Assam, Tripura, Sylhet and Cachar during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries due to internal conflicts among the princes of Manipur and due to Burmese attack. Consequently, it was difficult for the small number of Bishnupriyas who remained in Manipur to retain their language in the face of the impact of Meitei, although in 1891 Dr. Grierson found the existence of a considerable number of speakers in two or three villages near Bishnupur, locally known as Lamangdong.

"text": "Why Dhaka Deserves to Be Called the Most Unlivable City in the World Posted on September 8, 2013 by Raad Rahman Dhaka, Bangladesh has been named the second worst city to live in in the world (an improvement over being deemed the absolute worst last year), according the Economist Intelligence Unit ‘s 2013 Liveability Report, which reviewed 140 cities around the world and was published in August 2013. Dhaka (Photo credit: e Guide Travel)Given that the world has many many many more than 140 cities, the critic in me is wondering how the basis of choosing the 140 cities were given (the rationale remains absent from the summary report). However, without falling into the patriotic blind trap of suggesting Dhaka is so much better than so many other cities in the world, I am going to take Dhaka being recognized in this report as a serious reality check for Bangladesh, a moment that can result in much positive change. At the risk of being called non-nationalistic, I adamantly state: Dhaka IS the worst city I have EVER lived at, the worst place I have ever traveled to, and it deserves to be deemed as such by the supposedly neutral foreign bodies examining the rampant disrespect for humanity and humanitarian standards that permeates every facet of Dhaka life. By no means am I an expert on cities and urban planning, but I have a humbling confession which raised the standards and defined the boundaries of acceptability for me: After I left New York City in 2011, I went to 25 different countries, and visited approximately 76 cities, towns, and villages across three continents. I hiked in 3 mountain ranges, saw 3 oceans, and basked in the sun of 6 different beaches, 2 gulfs, and 1 bay. At the end of those travels, I chose to move back to Dhaka in order to “do something positive,” for the country where I spent my early childhood. My diary entry, written about one year ago today, reads: I’m so glad to be in this city of dirt and dreams. Photo credit: Marufish After five months of taking CNGs and rickshaws and living in this congested hell hole, which lies in complete contrast to my sheltered beginnings in Chittagong, I take my assertion back. What I realize now, is that being glad to be in Dhaka is akin to being complacent with the current socio-political status quo: a status quo that does not adequately address the need for a serious and well thought out action plan to address the necessary change that must occur on every facet of Dhaka’s life front, in order to make the city a haven for those who occupy its growing urban sprawl."

The Hindus of West Bengal who dominated Bengal's business and rural life complained that the division would make them a minority in a province that would incorporate the province of Bihar and Orissa. [ 1] Hindus were outraged at what they recognised as a \"\"divide and rule\"\" policy, [2] where the colonisers turned the native population against itself in order to rule, even though Curzon stressed it would produce administrative efficiency.

"text": "Pakistan and Bangladesh Outline Regional Overview Pakistan Overview Population Physical Setting Climate Culture Economic Development Regional Conflict Bangladesh Overview Physical Setting Population Climate Culture Economic Development Review Questions Regional Overview Common Past: Pakistan and Bangladesh both have some of the same cultural heritage as India. These two countries occupy parts of the major lowlands of southern Asia. Also, the two countries share a dominance of Muslim beliefs. Bangladesh and Pakistan were once a single country from 1947 until 1971, when a successful revolt in East Pakistan led to the formation of the separate country of Bangladesh. Differences: The differences between Pakistan and Bangladesh outweigh their common features. There are differences of physical environment-Pakistan is a country of arid lowlands and high mountains whereas Bangladesh is well watered and low-lying, apart from the small hilly eastern region inland of Chittagong. In Pakistan, the management of scarce water resources is a major problem, while in Bangladesh, the annual problem of flooding is more significant. The main differences are in the people and in the political evolution of the two countries since their1971 separation. Bangladesh remained one of the world’s poorest countries while Pakistan built on its established base of agricultural and manufacturing products. Pakistan Overview: The country is roughly the size of Texas and Louisiana."

With a recommendation from Rayleigh endorsed by higher-ups including the Viceroy of India and the Secretary of State for India, Bose was promptly posted as a professor at Presidency College in Calcutta, in 1885. He was the first Indian to hold that title, at what was then a colonial institution staffed by British teachers, but his appointment was strongly opposed by the school's British administrators. He was offered one-third the salary of the school's white professors, and in protest at this slight he took no salary at all for several years. He remained at Presidency for his entire career, where he assembled the first modern scientific research facilities in Indian academia. He conducted landmark research of the response of plant and animal life to stimuli including electricity, light, sound, and touch, and showed how water and sap in plants and trees is elevated from roots due to capillary action. He invented the crescograph, an early oscillating recorder using clockwork gears to measure the growth and movements of plants in increments as small as 1/100,000 of an inch. His 1902 paper \"\"Responses in the Living and Non-living\"\" showed that plant and animal tissues share a similar electric-impulse response to all forms of stimulation, a finding which challenged conventional science of the time, and also showed that even inanimate objects — certain rocks and metals — have similar responses. In a 1907 paper Bose established the electrotransmission of excitation in plant and animal tissues, and showed that plants respond to sound, by growing more quickly in an environment of gentle speech or soft music, and growing more poorly when subjected to harsh speech or loud music. Prior to his plant and animal experiments, Bose spent several years experimenting with electromagnetic waves, and conducted successful wireless signaling experiments in Calcutta in 1895."

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

Executive power is exercised by the government. Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives. The federation is made up of (language-based) communities and (territorial) regions. Since around 1970, the significant national Belgian political parties have split into distinct representations for each communities' interests besides defense of their ideologies. These parties belong to three main political families, though close to the centre: the right-wing Liberals, the social conservative Christian Democrats, and Socialists forming the left-wing. Other important newer parties are the Green parties and, nowadays mainly in Flanders, the nationalist and far-right parties. Politics is influenced by lobby groups, such as trade unions and employers' organizations such as the Federation of Belgian Enterprises. Majority rule is often superseded by a de facto confederal decision making process where the minority (the French-speakers) enjoy important protections through specialty majorities (2/3 overall and majority in each of the 2 main communities).

Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups: the Dutch-speaking, mostly Flemish community, which constitutes about 59 percent of the population, and the French-speaking, mostly Walloon population, which comprises about 40 percent of all Belgians. Additionally, there is a small ~1 percent group of German speakers who live in the East Cantons."

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

The term \"\"federalism\"\" is also used to describe a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces). Federalism is a system based upon democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial/state governments, creating what is often called a federation. Proponents are often called federalists. In Europe, \"\"federalist\"\" is sometimes used to describe those who favor a common federal government, with distributed power at regional, national and supranational levels. Most European federalists want this development to continue within the European Union. European federalism originated in post-war Europe; one of the more important initiatives was Winston Churchill 's speech in Zurich in 1946. ["

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

"text": "Travel Europe (Continental) Belgium Why is French spoken in Belgium? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A long time ago in the 4th century the Franks settled as Foederati in a not Romanised area within the Roman Empire: Toxandria, now in North-Brabant, the Netherlands. As the region was scarcely populated the Franks were able to settle down peacefully. Equally peaceful was their expansion to the West. They used a practice that was not uncommon in those days: Landnahme. Landnahme is a German term which means a peaceful, slow colonization by peasants. Basically it meant that new Frankish families would buy land outside of Toxandria. By the Time the Roman Empire fell, the Salian Franks controlled a small kingdom that reached the Somme-river and had as capital the, now Belgian, city of Tournai. The Franks were a Germanic tribe and so they spoke a form of Old-German, due to their long stay and slow expansion in the Region of Toxandria and what's now called Flanders, their language was strongly induced. Other territories, however, were not taken by Landnahme, and many of these regions had a strong Latin profile."

Almost immediately, I sensed a strange division amongst the respondents and it all revolved around two seemingly innocent towns near Brussels, Bruges (Brugge) and Ghent (Gent). Bruges has long been heralded as the quintessential European village. Untouched by the bombs of two World Wars, its Euro-cuteness has been well preserved for posterity. Ghent on the other hand is a large city, deemed by some as more authentic than Bruges and criticized by others for being less interesting. Armed with the knowledge that travel divisions existed, I set out to discover the truth behind these two Belgian towns. Bruges is less than an hour from Brussels by train, which allowed us to be there in time for breakfast. As we sat eating a waffle in a bustling cafe on the market square, I leafed through the guidebook looking for suggestions. I really hadn’t done much planning for the day and didn’t know what, if anything, there was to do in the town. It was pretty, don’t get me wrong, but I’m active and need to almost always be in the process of doing something, anything."

Belgium 's history is intertwined with those of its neighbours: the Netherlands, Germany, France and Luxembourg. For most of its history, what is now Belgium was either a part of a larger territory, such as the Carolingian Empire, or divided into a number of smaller states, prominent among them being the Duchy of Brabant, the County of Flanders, the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and County of Luxembourg. Due to its strategic location and the many armies fighting on its soil, since the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), Belgium has often been called the \"\"battlefield of Europe\"\" or the \"\" cockpit of Europe\"\". [ 1] It is also remarkable as a European nation which contains, and is divided by, a language boundary between Latin-derived French and Germanic Dutch. Belgium's formation, like that of its Benelux neighbours, can be traced back to the \"\" Seventeen Provinces \"\" within the Burgundian Netherlands. These were brought together under the House of Valois-Burgundy, and was unified into one autonomous territory by the inheritor of that line Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, in his Pragmatic Sanction of 1549. The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) led to the split between a northern Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands from which Belgium and Luxembourg developed. This southern territory continued to be ruled by the Habsburg descendants of the Burgundian house, at first as the \"\"Spanish Netherlands\"\". Invasions from France under Louis XIV led to the loss of what is now Nord-Pas-de-Calais to France, while the remainder finally became the \"\"Austrian Netherlands\"\"."

It is spoken only by a small minority of approximately 75,000 individuals (less than 1% of the belgian population).

Our previous prime minister, Elio Di Rupo, is a good example.

It is important to note that many Ghanaians may not speak English fluently nor in the same manner as a native English speaker, and so much of the spoken English appears to almost be a parallel language with its own grammatical rules, idioms and phrases.

To understand the place which Twi holds in Ghanaian society today, you first need to understand that Ghana has many different tribes, each of which has its own native language. You also need to understand the geography of the country, which is divided into ten regions. Figures from the Ghana Population Census of 2000 show that the total population of Ghana was 18,800,000 people of which 49.1% were Akans (approximately 9,231,000). The Akan people are found mainly in the southern half of Ghana, as well as in the neighbouring country of Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) on Ghana's western border. Population estimates available on March 2007 show that Cote d'Ivoire has a population of 17,654,843 people of which 42.1% are Akans (approximately 7,433,000). Although the Akan people of West Africa share common customs, cultural practices and religious beliefs, they are divided into dozens of different tribes. Each tribe speaks its own dialect or version of Akan language, most of which are easily understood by other Akans The Akan tribes of Ghana (with percentage of the total Ghanaian population in brackets) include the Agona (1.4%), Ahafo (1.1%), Ahanta (1.5%), Akuapem (2.9%), Akwamu (0.6%), Akyem (3.4%), Aowin (0.6%), Asante (14.8%), Assin (0.8%), Brong (4.6%), Chokosi (0.4%), Denkyira (0.5%), Evalue (0.1%), Fante (9.9%), Kwahu (1.9%), Nzema (1.2%), Sefwi (1.2%) and Wassa (1.4%).

The tropical forests of central Africa are occupied largely by the Pygmies (with an average height of about 4'9', or less than 1.5m). But the Africans who will eventually dominate most of sub-Saharan Africa are tribes from the north speaking Bantu languages . The Bantu languages probably derive from the region of modern Nigeria and Cameroon. This western area, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, is also the cradle of other early developments in African history. Iron smelting is known here, as in other sites in a strip below the Sahara, by the middle of the 1st millennium BC. And the fascinating but still mysterious Nok culture, lasting from the 5th century BC to the 2nd century AD, provides magnificent pottery figures which stand at the beginning of a recognizably African sculptural tradition. Probably during the first millennium BC, tribes speaking Bantu languages begin to move south. They gradually push ahead of them the Khoisan, in a process which will eventually make the Bantu masters of nearly all the southern part of the continent."

About three hundred years ago during the Trans Atlantic Trade many black people were uprooted from West Africa and taken as slaves to the Americas. Since then, their descendants in the Caribbean and in both North and South America, have not stopped searching for their roots. These black people have wondered about the slave trade, why it happened and which people they belong to in Africa. Because of this gap in their black history, descendants of the slaves who are conscious of their identity have worried about their true identity for the longest time. To find answers, many have turned to DNA profiling to trace their roots back to Africa. Unfortunately, this scientific tool is not foolproof and therefore, not provided the answers hoped for. Because of this, the answers to finding out what their true roots are, continue to elude these conscious brothers and sisters. I have some good news for these searching for answers to their identity.

Traditional African given names often reflect the circumstances at the time of the birth of the Child. Typical African names such as Ogechukwu “God’s time”, Esi “Sunday”, Khamisi “Thursday”, Mwanajuma “Friday”, Uka “also means Sunday, and Wekesa “harvest time” refer to the time or day when the child was born. Other names reflect the birth order of the newborn, for example Okpala “first male Child”, Kunto “third born”, Ada “First female Child”, Nsonowa “seventh born”, and Wasswa “first of twins”. Some names describe the parents’ reaction to the birth (such as Anuli, Kayode, Gwandoya, Abeni and Monifa) while others are reflections of the desired characteristics of the new-born (like Yejide, Dada, Chiumbo and Zuberi). Although as a result of colonisation by foreign countries, lots of African baby names are now of European origin, in this article, we’ve decided to publish a collection of Unique African baby names you’ve probably never heard of before. List of African Baby Boy Names and Meanings Addo: Ghana name meaning “king of the road”. Boy name Ade Meaning: “Royal one”. Boy name Adjatay: Cameroon name meaning “prince."

The Republic of Ghana is named after the medieval West African Ghana Empire. [ 1] The Empire became known in Europe and Arabia as the Ghana Empire after the title of its emperor, the Ghana. The Empire appears to have broken up following the 1076 conquest by the Almoravid General Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar. An elevated kingdom continued to exist after Almoravid rule ended, and the kingdom was later incorporated into subsequent Sahelian empires, such as the Mali Empire several centuries later. Geographically, the ancient Ghana Empire was approximately 500 miles (800 km) north and west of the modern state of Ghana, and controlled territories in the area of the Sénégal River and east towards the Niger rivers, in modern Senegal, Mauritania and Mali. For most of central sub-Saharan Africa, agricultural expansion marked the period before 600 AD. Farming began earliest on the southern tips of the Sahara, eventually giving rise to village settlements. Toward the end of the classical era, larger regional kingdoms had formed in West Africa, one of which was the Kingdom of Ghana, north of what is today the nation of Ghana. Before its fall at the beginning of the 10th century Ashanti migrants moved southward and founded several nation-states, including the first empire of Bono founded in the 11th century and for which the Brong-Ahafo (Bono Ahafo) region is named."

"text": "Definitionby Rodrigo Quijada Plubins published on 11 March 2013Ghana was a kingdom in Africa that lasted from the 6th to the 13th century CE, located south of the Sahara desert and northwest of the Niger River in modern day Mauritania and Mali. Thanks to the introduction of the camel into the Sahara and its increasing availability and use in Roman times in the first centuries CE, trans-Saharan trade routes (north-south) became feasable, allowing African societies in the Sahel access to the markets of the Mediterranean Sea. As these routes grew more profitable, cities such as Djenne Jeno and Gao arose and in time more complex and powerful territorial states appeared, with Ghana being the first of them. The people who formed the Ghana kingdom were the Soninke, a subgroup of the Mande-speaking family. They called their kingdom Wagadu, but we know it as Ghana, the name the Arabs gave it. The kingdom’s golden age began around 800 CE and lasted for nearly three centuries. Ghana’s capital changed several times but the last and most famous of them was Kumbi (or Koumbi Saleh), perhpas founded in the 4th century CE. It became the biggest city south of the Sahara with some 15,000 inhabitants at its peak. The trading activities that constituted the backbone of Ghana’s economy were the sale of gold, kola nuts (the later “secret ingredient” of Coca-Cola), and ivory to cities along the Mediterranean, in exchange for salt. The Soninke were intermediaries, as they did not control the sources of most of these products, which came from further south, while the actual transport of the goods to the north was completed by nomadic, camel-riding Berbers."

"text": "Ghana’s Dubious Decolonization Distinction – The First Independent African Country May 2, 2013 by Sitinga Ghana is often given the dubious distinction of being the first former colony in Sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence. Bypassing North Africa, some editors, journalists and history books go as far as claiming that Ghana was the first country on the entire continent to gain independence. However, these distinctions are not without their controversies. An important truth needs to be told – Ghana was not the first African country to gain independence in neither sub-Saharan Africa nor the entire continent. There are a string of other countries that arguably deserve this recognition. The fact that these distinctions about Ghana are sustained by both Ghanians and non-Ghanians alike, is indicative of a continent with a problematic identity and history that is fueled with hijacked narratives. Ghana, A Shining Black Star Ghana has long been celebrated as the model for African progress and development. Ghana has long been revered by institutions in the Global North as the poster child for economic success, anti-imperialism, stability and democracy in Africa. This has meant that it has been historically promoted (and propped) as a leader on the continent by countries such as the United States – it is the only sub-Saharan country that Barack Obama has visited as a sitting president. It is also a country celebrated within the continent for being at the center of the liberation struggle and therefore holds a special place in pan-African history."

Such companies are certainly not looking where to sell gold, as that subject “where to sell” is solved for the mining company before they even start mining. Gold market everywhere in Africa is well expanded and there is absolutely no need for the genuine miners to “search for buyers”. All such offers are to be considered fake when coming supposedly from Africa. Small miners, like when there is 1 to 50 people even 500 people, but without organization, they never need a foreigner in other country to buy gold, because on the place there are many brokers and dealers, and same day they produce gold, they sell it, without hesitations. In general, miners in Africa do not collect gold, especially not in quantities, to sell it later to some “foreign buyer”."

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."

The unemployment rate is 25 percent — down from a peak of 28 — and four in 10 children live in poverty. In the wintertime, Athens is overcome with smog as residents too poor to afford electricity burn everything and anything they can to stay warm. The income of the country's rich, once inflation and taxes are taken into account, is back where it was in 1985. The poor are back where they were in 1980. And this weekend, things hit a new low, as fear of a total financial meltdown grew so widespread that Greeks emptied more than a third of the country's ATMs on Saturday in a desperate attempt to pull out as much money as possible before the banks collapse. The crisis is at a pivotal moment now, but it has been brewing for years. Despite what you may have heard, it's not happening because the Greek government spent beyond its means and now is suffering the consequences.

It was here in ancient times that many accomplished architects, philosophers, poets, teachers and thinkers would prove influential in the development of the Western World, and the collective works and legends of such great men as Aristotle, Hippocrates, Homer, Plato and Socrates live on today, and for very good reasons. The recorded history of Greece began in the Bronze Age (3000-1200 BC), with the rise of many powerful regional cultures. Typical of ancient civilizations, they too eventually crumbled, and in Greece, they were followed by the growth of Athens and Sparta (consequential city-states), as well as the development of Greater Greece. During this ' Classical Age ' massive construction projects were undertaken including the building of the Parthenon atop the Acropolis, enduring literature was written; Socrates, the fabled philosopher, was inspiring the youth of the day with his unwavering commitment to logic and truth, and the spark was lit for the birth of the modern principles of democracy. In 776 BC, the first Olympic Games were held in Athens. This lengthy creative and prosperous period was eventually interrupted by a Persian invasion of the mainland, a war between Athens and Sparta ( won by the Spartans ), and the rise of Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Empire. Subsequently the Romans invaded Greece and quickly took control. The Western Roman Empire began to fade around 300 AD, and Greece became a part of the Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire. Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) was the capital city and Constantine I became its first Christian Emperor."

As Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark notes, it's more about the simple life for her. When we meet, she's in town to promote her forthcoming book A Taste of Greece, dedicated to the culture of her adopted country where she lives with her husband Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark. The new book compiles anecdotes about Greece and recipes from people as varied as Arianna Huffington, designers Mary Katrantzou and Diane von Furstenberg, and writer Margaret Atwood. All proceeds benefit Boroume, a Greek nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and providing meals to the hungry. Though the book mostly revolves around food, the princess is quick to say that the text is much more than a cookbook. \"\" I think it's about people's experiences. It shares memories. It tells stories about culture. It's more than just recipes. \"\""

"text": "The island of Rhodes Fishing was very important to early Stone Age people, and fishing is probably what brought the first people to Greece. No part of Greece is more than about forty miles from the sea: a couple of days walking. So Greece was a great place to fish and to collect seafood like mussels, octopus, oysters, and shrimp. Greece has a lot of good ports and beaches. Plus there are a lot of small islands as well. Some of these islands are a good place to get obsidian, which might be another reason why people moved to Greece. A Greek hillside On the other hand, the soil in Greece is not very good for growing things. There are a lot of mountains that make it hard to walk from one place to another, and there is never enough fresh water. In Greece, plants tend to be small and scrubby: thyme bushes, sage, olive and fig trees, laurel, and little thin evergreens like juniper and oleander. The combination of good sailing and lousy farming encouraged Greek people to get their living from the sea."

"text": "\"by Jim Haeffele The eighth chapter of Daniel features an astounding vision of a male sheep and a male goat. What did this vision represent, and is it relevant for us today? The vision recorded in Daniel 8 came to the prophet in the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon (553-554 B. C.). This was just two years after Daniel’s vision of four beasts and a little horn recorded in Daniel 7. As was the case with the previous vision, Daniel didn’t fully understand the significance of what he was seeing ( Daniel 7:19, 28 ). This vision concludes with Daniel saying, “I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it” (Daniel 8:27). If Daniel didn’t understand it in the sixth century B. C., can it be understood today? Actually, the meaning of a portion of this vision was revealed to Daniel ( Daniel 8:20 ), but some of it apparently remained unclear to him. The precise details of the future that the vision foretold did not seem to make sense to him in his generation. Today we can understand the vision more fully since it has been revealed to us by God in three ways: (1) through the archangel Gabriel speaking to Daniel, (2) through other prophecies that speak of the same subject and (3) through historical fulfillment."

It encompasses the major countries of Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece, as well as the lesser nations of Andorra, Monaco, Vatican City, San Marino, and Malta (Bradshaw, 2002, p. 333). The region of Southern Europe, because of its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, enjoys a Mediterranean climate. The area is fairly mild and wet in the winter and can be very hot and dry in the summer (Fisher, 1992, p.203). The coastal areas are at or near sea level elevations, but within the countries there are several highlands and mountain chains. In Italy, the Apennine Mountains run the span of the country from north to south. The Alps run east and west, along the northern Italian border with Switzerland. In Spain, the Pyrenees Mountains run north and south along the Spanish-French border. In Greece, we find the famous Mount Olympus and the Pindus Mountains. Resources in this region are fairly limited."

John Embry: “Obviously the big news today is the Greek capitulation to the German pressure and yet another kick-of-the-can down the road. Thus there are relief rallies in world stock markets, the U.

This is so repetitive that it’s irritating but it is what it is. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is all being controlled through the BIS (Bank for International Settlements), the central bankers central bank.

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.

"text": "Greece finally abandons defeatist policy and tells Erdogan how the wind blows December 8, 2017 Editor 6 Comments Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was self-confident and determined when he went on board of the airplane for an official visit to Greece. The first visit of a Turkish president to Athens after 65 years was supposed to be historical and groundbreaking for the bilateral relations. But Erdogan got the whole visit wrong. In an interview to a Greek outlet a day before his visit he set aside diplomatic red lines and unfolded the agenda he had in mind with his Greek hosts: the Lausanne Treaty should be updated, he said, and asked for more rights for the Muslim Minority in Thrace which he considers as “our Turkish brothers”. He complained about “some islands in the Aegean Sea” and the air space Greek FIR and claimed there should also be revisions “in the measurements. ”He is invited to Greece and tells his hosts that he wants to change the borders between the two countries? A grave mistake. A grave mistake because the Greek government had decided to not push this provocation under the red welcome carpet and immediately respond to him, right there, in front of Greek, Turkish and international cameras and journalists. An open and transparent tit for tat strategy, a bold move on the Greek side that stunned locals and foreigners who were following the meetings live. Finally, Greeks had gotten rid of their decades-long defeatist approach to Turkey and told bylling Erdogan how the wind blows."

Construction on a new church building was nearly complete, with the baptistery functional even though changing rooms were not yet available. When the need arose to use the baptismal, sheets were hung temporarily where those being baptized could change. The last person to be baptized made her way down into the water. Terrified of going under, she had been assured there was no reason for concern. But she panicked in those final seconds before being lowered into the water, clawing the air for anything to keep from going down. Within her grasp was the curtain hung behind the baptistery which formed the front barrier of the men’s changing room. Having just stepped from the baptistery, there stood a man completely naked. Realizing something dreadful was wrong, he turned around, only to see the entire congregation gaping at him in embarrassed astonishment."

Crete and Evia are its two largest islands and major island groups include the Argo-Saronic, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Ionian, Northeast Aegean and Sporades. With the vast percentage of its land comprised of hills and rugged mountains, Greece is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe. Its 13,676 km toothy-edged shoreline is deeply indented by dozens of gulfs. The western half of the country is dominated by the steep peaks of the Pindus mountains, a range of the Dinaric Alps that stretch south from Albania and Macedonia. Typical elevations here exceed 2,500 meters, and those mountains are punctuated by numerous lakes, rivers and wetlands. The highest Greek mountain is Mount Olympus, rising to 2,918 meters (9,570 ft). To its immediate southwest stand the massive Meteora rock formations; gigantic pillars of stones worn smooth by wind and water over thousands of years. In the far-north along its border with Bulgaria, the heavily-forested Southern Rhodope Mountain range spreads across the land.

Even unrelated languages like Hindi and Telugu have developed similarities because of geographic proximity and cultural connections. Linguists call this type of non-genetic language group a \"\"sprachbund.\"\" The other effect is that English is usually learned as a second (or third or fourth) language from Indian teachers, and in effect that particular style of speaking English has developed into a distinct dialect. And of course, as has been mentioned, varieties of Indian English are only similar, not totally identical.

Language is nothing but a set of symbols or words that is used for day to day interaction and communication. The basis of language is the environment where you grow up and develop. It consists of written as well as manual signs and symbols. It is the way and means by which, humans, as social animals, interact and talk to one another. The main basis of language is words and the formation of various words into different types of sentences. There are many types of languages that are spoken in this world and each language has its own set of syllables and definitions."

"text": "India speaks 780 languages, 220 lost in last 50 years – survey By David Lalmalsawma September 7, 2013No one has ever doubted that India is home to a huge variety of languages. A new study, the People’s Linguistic Survey of India, says that the official number, 122, is far lower than the 780 that it counted and another 100 that its authors suspect exist. The survey, which was conducted over the past four years by 3,000 volunteers and staff of the Bhasha Research & Publication Centre (“Bhasha” means “language” in Hindi), also concludes that 220 Indian languages have disappeared in the last 50 years, and that another 150 could vanish in the next half century as speakers die and their children fail to learn their ancestral tongues. The 35,000-page survey is being released in 50 volumes, the first of which appeared on Sept. 5 to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Indian philosopher Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, who was also the country’s second president. The last one is scheduled to come out in December 2014. Ganesh Devy, who supervised the project, said this is the first comprehensive survey of Indian languages that anyone has conducted since Irish linguistic scholar George Grierson noted the existence of 364 languages between 1894 and 1928. There is a major reason for the disparity in the government’s number of languages versus what the survey found: the government does not count languages that fewer than 10,000 people speak. Devy and his volunteers on the other hand combed the country to find languages such as Chaimal in Tripura, which is today spoken by just four or five people. One of the most interesting aspects of the project is Devy’s view of language as a marker of the well being of a community. Languages are being born and dying as they evolve – note how Old English is unintelligible today, and how different is Chaucer’s Middle English from ours – and that is a natural process."

I've just assumed it is Pali but a moment's thought tells me this is probably wrong since the Pali canon was written hundreds of years after the Buddha died.

All basically sound like mumbled/corrupted dialects of Sanskrit.

As for the language, that's a hard thing to answer. From a linguistic standpoint, Pali seems to be a blend of several eastern and western dialects together with some Sanskrit. Some have hypothesized that it is some form of an old trade language, something that people in different parts of northern India would have known how to speak in order to talk with people from other regions, and others think that this mixture of dialects was done later to harmonize the texts."

Noah Seelam/AFP/Getty Images The largest study so far to ask whether speaking two languages might delay the onset of dementia symptoms in bilingual patients as compared to monolingual patients has reported a robust result. Bilingual patients suffer dementia onset an average of 4.5 years later than those who speak only a single language. While knowledge of a protective effect of bilingualism isn't entirely new, the present study significantly advances scientists' knowledge. Media reports emphasize the size of its cohort: 648 patients from a university hospital's memory clinic, including 391 who were bilingual. It's also touted as the first study to reveal that bilingual people who are illiterate derive the same benefit from speaking two languages as do people who read and write. It also claims to show that the benefit applies not only to Alzheimer's sufferers but also people with frontotemporal and vascular dementia. Only when I read the research report itself, though, published in the journal Neurology and written by Suvarna Alladi and 7 co-authors, did I realize fully the brilliance of conducting this study in Hyderabad, India. That choice of location, I believe, lends extra credibility to the study's results. Here's why."

Woodwose Confidence votes 40.4KA curmudgeon with years of practice. There is no set language for Buddhism. Buddhists come from all nations and cultures and speak, read and write in the national languages of those locations. Buddhists can speak any language; a dialect of Chinese, English, Portuguese, Czech, Tagalog, Klingon, or whatever else. Same goes for Christians, Muslims, Wiccans, and the followers of all different religions of the world; they're religions, not countries; language and spirituality are regarded as being two different things. You aren't born speaking Hebrew just because you're born a Christian, and you don't automatically learn Hebrew if you convert to Christianity. So same applies to Buddhism. Even though Gautama Buddha was born and lived in northern India, a Buddhist's mother tongue is determined by his or her country, parents, and/or interests...not necessarily the Buddhist religion.20 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

A Bangla speaker will find Hindi vocab very familiar. the grammar too (actually hindi cases are different for Masculine and feminine forms (like Russian) whereas in Bangla gender is never an issue (like English) but mutual understandability is not lost). He will probably understand almost everything in hindi and will also be able to communicate although occasionally it would sound funny because he may mix up masc and fem words. Urdu is almost identical to hindi in structure but replaces most sanskrit derived words with farsi or Arabic derived words.e.g. abba in place of pita (father). So if the native speaker is a Hindu then he would probably find urdu a little harder, but for a muslim or a hindu living in a muslim majority environment urdu may be more familiar."

The lack of interest in South Asian languages is stunning, especially given that South Asia is home to some of the most spoken languages in the world. The language everyone has heard of is Hindi/Urdu (essentially one language with two scripts), which is spoken by over 300 million people, even if the closely related Rajasthani and Bihari languages are excluded. In the West though, awareness of the other South Asian languages is low. Just to give an idea of how large many of these languages are, here are some comparisons: as many people speak Punjabi as Japanese; roughly as many people speak Bengali as German, French, and Italian combined; as many people speak Oriya as Ukrainian; Pashto has as many speakers as Polish; Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil each has more than three times as many native speakers as Dutch. I have searched for up-to-date statistics for language in India, but haven’t been able to find anything more recent than the 1931 Census. I was able however, to track down tehsil-level date for Pakistan from the 1998 Census. In Pakistan, tehsils are the third level of administrative divisions, after provinces and districts. The data set I found isn’t perfect (more on that later), but it has most of what I was looking for."

"text": "\"Following is the article written by David Frawley in \"\"The India Times\"\" David Frawley, a well-known Vedic scholar, runs the American Institute of Vedic Studies in santa Fe, New Mexico. He is also a famed Ayurveda doctor. Those interested in this subject may refer to his book \"\"Gods, Sages and Kings: Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization\"\". The Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India By David Frawley One of the main ideas used to interpret and generally devalue the ancient history of India is the theory of the Aryan invasion. According to this account, India was invaded and conquered by nomadic light-skinned Indo-European tribes from Central Asia around 1500-100 BC, who overthrew an earlier and more advanced dark-skinned Dravidian civilization from which they took most of what later became Hindu culture. This so-called pre-Aryan civilization is said to be evidenced by the large urban ruins of what has been called the \"\" Indus valley culture \"\" (as most of its initial sites were on the Indus river). The war between the powers of light and darkness, a prevalent idea in ancient Aryan Vedic scriptures, was thus interpreted to refer to this war between light and dark skinned peoples. The Aryan invasion theory thus turned the \"\" Vedas \"\", the original scriptures of ancient India and the Indo-Aryans, into little more than primitive poems of uncivilized plunderers. This idea totally foreign to the history of India, whether north or south has become almost an unquestioned truth in the interpretation of ancient history Today, after nearly all the reasons for its supposed validity have been refuted, even major Western scholars are at last beginning to call it in question. In this article we will summarize the main points that have arisen."

Then we were told that India was invaded around 1500 BC by Aryans from Central Asia or, perhaps, even South Europe. This dogma was at the basis of the construction of an elaborate scenario related to strife between the speakers of the Aryan and Dravidian languages. As the science of language, historical linguistics in the early 19th century saw itself as providing a framework for studying the history and relationships of languages in the same manner as biology describes the animal world. But whereas biology has been revolutionized by the discovery of the genetic code, no similar breakthrough has brought new illumination to linguistics. Over the protestations of its many critics, mainstream historical linguistics has remained within the parameters of 19th century thinking. In the meanwhile, archaeological discoveries have altered our understanding of ancient Eurasia. The Indo-Europeans are seen to be present in Europe a few thousand years earlier than was supposed before. The Indian evidence, based on archaeology as well as the discovery of an astronomy in the Vedas, indicates that Vedic Sanskrit is to be assigned to the 4th and the 3rd millennia BC, if not earlier. The Indian cultural area is seen as an integral whole."

This area is known to have supported a flourishing culture in the centuries preceding Christianity. Waves of immigrants began to flow into Mauritania in the third century AD . People from North Africa entered first during the third and fourth centuries, then again during the seventh and eighth centuries. By the eleventh century AD , traders had spread the Islamic religion throughout the Western Sahara. Between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries, black Africans from Ghana and-Mali immigrated to Mauritania. By the late seventeenth century, Mauritania had four social groups. The people who spoke Hassaniyya Arabic became known as the Maures. Early in the twentieth century, French forces occupied and set up a colonial administration in Mauritania, while much of the rest of the Western Sahara was controlled by Spain. After World War II (1939–45), France granted Mauritania some administrative and political freedoms."

The conflict, which lasted over seven years, resulted in Algeria's independence from France, as well as becoming an important conflict in world history for the lessons learnt in terms of decolonisation and what is known as anasymmetrical war. The Tassili n'Ajjer mountain range in Algeria. Algeria had been a French colony for over 100 years following its invasion by the French in 1830. However, today marks what was labelled a \"\"Red All Saints' Day\"\", or Toussaint Rouge, the day when members of the National Liberation Front (Front de Libération Nationale or FLN in French) staged attacks on both military and civilian targets and broadcast a proclamation for Muslims in Algeria to restore the state to a sovereign nation under the principles of Islam. Though a fairly sombre day to be remembered, the result of the war would allow Algeria its independence and result in the fall of France's fourth republic. Rather than dwell on the depressing nature of war, we felt it would be wiser to spend today commemorating Algeria's linguistic diversity, some of which is due to its relationship with France. Official Languages Arabic Algeria's sole official language is Modern Standard Arabic. This form of the macrolanguage is considered to be the most formal and is based on Classical Arabic, the type of Arabic that is used in the Qur'an. Nearly 3 in 4 Algerians speak Arabic as their native language."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Law & Legal Issues Business Law Labor and Employment Law Child Labor Which countries still have child slavery? Flag Which countries still have child slavery? Answer by Hillelab Confidence votes 104Officially there are few countries that would openly admit to having child slavery, however this does not mean that it does not exist. It is well known that in India and surrounding countries, children as young as three years old are sold by their parents for debts and these children work in brick and carpet factories. Illegally child slavery exists in most countries where young girls and boys are kidnapped or abducted and are used in the sex business. Other countries where children are used as slaves are Brazil, Argentina, and countries in South America and also in many African countries. In Thailand there are many sex outlets that employ children. In the middle east, young boys are used as slaves for camel racing. This is a problem that needs to be addressed at all levels, from governments of the world to the man in the street - for example one easy method to counter child slavery is that one should not purchase an item that was made by children in a slave environment. It is said that these countries have slavery: Brazil Cote d'Ivoire Mali Mauritania Niger Sudan It is said that in these countries slaves play a key role in cultivating cash crops."

During the 7th to 8th centuries, the Muslim conquest began, but it wasn't until 1075 that Islamic warrior monks completed the conquest of southern Mauritania. At the time, many parts of the region were ruled by the ancient Ghana empire. Over the next 500 years, from the 11th century to the 16th century, the Arabs were met with fierce resistance from the Berber tribes. Between the years of 1644 to 1674, the tribes made their final attempts of resistance from the Maqil Arab invaders and the Beni Hassan tribes - which is dubbed as the Mauritania's Thirty-Year War. European nations had little interest in Mauritania, but in 1860, the French made the country its territory for strategic purposes. It remained a French colony until 1960 - the date of their independence. On November 28, 1960, Mauritania became an independent nation, and in 1961, was admitted to the United Nations. Geography Mauritania is located in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Its borders are the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Western Sahara to the north, Algeria to the north-east, Senegal to the southwest, and Mali to the east and southeast."

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. Introduction: The arrival of iron smelting technology in sub-Saharan Africa played a significant role in shaping the historical record of the area by bringing profound changes to the lives and societies of its inhabitants (Haaland Shinnie 7). In the parts of Africa south of the Sahara and south of the Ethiopian highlands, there has been no archaeological evidence supporting a Bronze Age (Van Der Merwe 463; Alpern ; Holl 6) and the evidence archaeologists do have point to iron being the first metal used to replace stone tools (Fagan 1). One area of intense debate regarding the African Iron Age is the process in which the technology of iron smelting arrived in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the past half-century, the interpretations and reconstructions of the origins of iron smelting in sub-Saharan Africa have changed considerably. The initial theory was based on an unquestioned belief of the superiority of Ancient Egypt over sub-Saharan Africa (Kense 12). Based on this framework, the site of Meroe was proposed by Arkell as an important link and the general belief was that the collapse of the Kingdom of Kush precipitated the spread of technology and Meroitic culture into the southwest (Kense 13). However excavations conducted in the 1960s determined that the iron smelting furnaces found at Meroe mostly dated to the first few centuries B. C. E (Shinnie 30) and its pivotal role in the spread of iron smelting technology was shown to be increasingly hard to defend (Kense 13)."

"text": "Francophonie and Canada The term francophonie has been in common use since the 1960s. It has several meanings. In its most general sense, it refers to all peoples and communities anywhere in the world that have French as their mother tongue or customary language. The term can also refer to the wider, more complex network of government agencies and non-government organizations that work to establish, maintain and strengthen the special ties among French-speaking people throughout the world. Lastly, the expression “La Francophonie” is increasingly used as shorthand for the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (International Organisation of La Francophonie).

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The main language in Prague is Czech. In Belgium is Dutch, French and German while in Romania they speak Romanian. Alexia · 8 years ago5 1 Comment In Prague the main language is Czech, though German is also commonly spoken and people involved in the tourist industry commonly speak at least some English - though when I stayed there in 1999 I had a slight multilingual discussion with the hotel receptionist to find out which mutual language we could use, and we finally settled on French, since I don't speak much Czech and she didn't speak much English! Everyone who went to school during the Communist period will have learnt Russian, but don't try to use it as they still haven't forgiven the 1968 invasion - they don't really like Russians at all, I was in a restaurant once with a bilingual Czech/English menu, but the waiter deliberately gave the Russian couple at the next table a Czech-only menu and was really giving them a hard time. Belgium is complicated. In Brussels the main language is French, but the north of the country, Flanders, including the area all round Brussels, they speak Flemish which is a form of Dutch, while in the south of the country, Wallonia, they speak French, and in the far east there are a few areas where they speak German. The thing is that the French and Flemish speakers dislike each other intensely (they have completely separate political parties, television networks, and there was a nasty train crash about 10 years ago which was blamed on a Flemish-speaking signaller refusing to speak French to a colleague on the other end of the telephone line), so it is ALWAYS better to try speaking English first as that doesn't offend anyone."

As in other German territories of the East, all German minorities living there have been ill-treated in the most distressing manner....proposals for mediation have failed because in the meanwhile there, first of all, came as an answer the sudden Polish general mobilization, followed by more Polish atrocities.

"text": "\"Mircea Goia, lived in Romania Answered Aug 2, 2011 · Author has 1.9k answers and 4.9m answer views There are several things which makes a Romanian speak well those foreign languages you mention of (I am not talking here about the accent, because that remains and few Romanians can get rid of it totally). One main thing is that Romanian kids are taught foreign languages since childhood (since kindergarden many times). I personally started learning English since I was 8 years old. Now, this was a practice in Romania even on communist times! That was quite rare in the communist block: to learn English especially on those times (yes, I was a kid on those times and I learned). In that period of time kids usually started to learn English, French, German and Russian at the age of 8. Now, you could have learned two languages (and you didn't have a choice back then): English and French, French and German, English and German, German and Russian, Russian and English, Russian and French. I was lucky to start at the age of 8 with English, then at the age of 10 with French. Italian and Spanish were introduced in schools after the communism fall (1990) and Russian was taken out. Another main thing is that in the last 10-12 years the computer usage exploded in Romania (still has lot of room to grow)."

Photo: Reuters Get excited, horror aficionados: Bran Castle, nicknamed “Dracula’s Castle,” in Transylvania is for sale, but it’s going to cost you much more than a movie ticket. The castle, located atop a cliff in central Romania, could sell for more than $135 million, complete with rich history and legends, but deficient in bathrooms. The 14 th century castle, owned by several different people over the years, is most famous for its ties to Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, “Dracula.” According to folklore, Prince Vlad the Impaler, an historical warlord who inspired the fictional story, spent time locked up in the castle. The Telegraph reported on Sunday that the 57-room, 22-acre castle is on the market, with the sale handled by New York-based law firm Herzfeld and Rubin. “If someone comes in with a reasonable offer, we will look at who they are, what they are proposing, and we will seriously entertain the idea,” Mark Meyer told the Telegraph. “ What you have to remember is that this castle is the real thing. We don’t need men going around dressed up in old-fashioned costumes; the place speaks for itself. ”Meyer said whoever wants to purchase the house will have a big job on their hands, since the property has no plumbing or bathrooms."

Mc Kinsey reported that 33,000 jobs were moved to Eastern Europe in 2010. BPO service providers are growing fast across the region but Eastern Europe still remains the underdog in the global business process outsourcing industry. Just take a look at Accenture, one of the leading BPO providers in Eastern Europe. According to an interview Nicholas Butt, the director of Accenture’s BPO centre in Romania, gave to ZF, it would have 400 employees by 2011, offering services such as finance and accounting services, human resources, logistics, supply and insurance for multinational clients. This figure must be compared to 21,000 employees in the Philippines and over 70,000 in India. It is certainly hard to compete with lower cost locations. For example, a data processing clerk in India earns 1,500 to 2,000 Euros per year, while in Romania the annual gross salary for such a position would be around 6,400 Euros. Still, the price is competitive compared to what a similar job would be paid in England (19,000 Euros)."

Jones, The Later Roman Empire, 284-602 [The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1986, p. 316], Greek text, \"\"Doctrina Jacobi Nuper Baptizati,\"\" Édition et traduction par Vincent Déroche, Travaux et Mémoires, 11 [Collège de France Centre de Recherche d'Histoire et Civilisation de Byzance, De Boccard, Paris, 1991, p.167] [ note ]In a Dark Age, there was a Great City, known by many names, protected by indomitable Walls and mysterious Fire, defended by men from the far reaches of Europe, a City that held a whole Civilization -- immortal art, architecture, literature, history, philosophy, and law -- our own Civilization... Enklinobarangus ( ), with a nod to John Boorman's Excalibur, 1981; one of many names was actually Mikligarðr, \"\"Great City,\"\" in Old Norse; and of course, by \"\"our own Civilizaton,\"\" that of the West is meant; noteworthy that those who despise the West as meaning only \"\"oppression\"\" also tend to be anti-American .

[ note ]Decadence Everyone knows why the Roman Empire fell. It became \"\"decadent,\"\" meaning weak and immoral. The Romans were so busy at their orgies (often with their siblings), throwing Christians to the lions, poisoning their spouses, parents, and children, and eating exotic parts of animals (like hummingbird tongues), in between visits to the vomitorium so they could eat more, that they didn't notice all the Germans gathering on the frontiers. Then the ruthless pagan Germans rode in, trampled under their horses' hooves the few poor debauched legionnaires who remained, still foolishly fighting on foot, sacked Rome, destroyed civilization, overthrew the last emperor in 476, and ushered in the Dark Ages, from which Europe only emerged with the Renaissance, a thousand years later, when gunpowder finally could defeat mounted warriors. As the late columnist Joseph Sobran once wrote: Christianity built a new civilization on the \"\"ruins\"\" of the old."

ONE ICY MORNING in February 2012, Hillary Clinton’s plane touched down in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, which was just digging out from a fierce blizzard. Wrapped in a thick coat, the secretary of state descended the stairs to the snow-covered tarmac, where she and her aides piled into a motorcade bound for the presidential palace. That afternoon, they huddled with Bulgarian leaders, including Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, discussing everything from Syria’s bloody civil war to their joint search for loose nukes. But the focus of the talks was fracking. The previous year, Bulgaria had signed a five-year, $68 million deal, granting US oil giant Chevron millions of acres in shale gas concessions. Bulgarians were outraged. Shortly before Clinton arrived, tens of thousands of protesters poured into the streets carrying placards that read “Stop fracking with our water” and “Chevron go home.” Bulgaria’s parliament responded by voting overwhelmingly for a fracking moratorium. Clinton urged Bulgarian officials to give fracking another chance."

While fewer children in X would be considered poor by the definition of 50 % below the national median, the “poor” children of Y might be financially better off. That said, the cost of living would probably be higher in country Y–so adjusted incomes would have to be used to compare X and Y.

As you visit local villages, you learn about many of the community projects that not only support the villages economically, but also work to preserve the teachings and beliefs of each tribe's ancestors, a difficult challenge in a modern world. Historically, the native cultures of Tanzania have been influenced by Bantu settlers from southern and western Africa, as well as Arabs, Portuguese, Germans and British, and today there are 120 African ethnic groups in the country. With so many groups in the country, it may seem that communicating with the locals is impossible, but Tanzanians proudly speak Kiswahili as well as their native and national language. As you culturally tour in Tanzania, you may have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet some of the native peoples. The largest group is the Sukuma people in northwest Tanzania near Lake Victoria, a people who live from fishing, cotton farming and cattle herding. The northern section of the country is dominated by the Maasai. Known as \"\"fierce warriors,\"\" the Maasai have been granted access to many of Tanzania's protected areas for grazing of their prized cattle, animals that lend to a Maasai's social status and wealth. Also in northern Tanzania are the Hadza, hunter-gatherers, and just north of the Maasai steppe on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro are the Chagga people. When you are in the northern-central highlands of Mbulu, visit the Iraqw, a peaceful tribe of farmers and herders whose native language is not only demanding to learn, but it is also valued as a way to protect the tribe from the influence of modern society."

He governed Tanganyika as its Prime Minister from 1961 to 1963 and then as its President from 1963 to 1964, after which he led its successor state, Tanzania, as its President from 1964 until 1985. He was a founding member of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) party and later a member of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi party. Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he promoted a political philosophy known as Ujamaa. Born in Butiama, then in the British colony of Tanganyika, Nyerere was the son of a Zanaki chief. After completing his schooling in Tanganyika, he studied at Makerere College in Uganda and then Edinburgh University in Britain. In 1952 he returned to Tanganyika, married, and worked as a teacher. In 1954, he helped form TANU, which was instrumental in obtaining independence for Tanganyika. Influenced by the Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, Nyerere preached non-violent protest to achieve their aims. In 1967, influenced by the ideas of African socialism, Nyerere issued the Arusha Declaration, which outlined his vision of ujamaa (variously translated as \"\"familyhood\"\" or \"\"socialism\"\"; not to be confused with the Swahili word Umoja which means \"\"unity\"\")."

The following is a short, easy to read explanation of the greatest show on earth. Where does the migration take place? The wildebeest migration takes place over a wide area across Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. These parks are one continuous ecosystem divided by an invisible man-made border. Is it only Wildebeest which migrate? No, together with approximately 2 million wildebeest, there are roughly 800,000 zebra and gazelle forming one super herd. Zebra are often found together with wildebeest as the zebra tend to feed on long tough grass stems preparing them for the broad muzzle of the wildebeest, more suited to close short grasses. Contrary to popular belief, lions and other carnivores do not migrate with the grazing animals but feast on them when their paths cross."

Speaking of lakes, the continent has many lakes but the largest lake in Africa is Lake Victoria. Located in east-central Africa, along with the equator, the huge lake is a popular stop for many tourists who are interested in aquatic safari due to the inestimable experiences it offers. One of the great experiences comes from the immeasurable fish life in the lake which forms sparkling shoals with colourful cichlids. For this reason, fishing also draws many to this lake, basically people looking to participate in Nile Perch, known widely as the best game fish. Lake Victoria is not only the largest lake in Africa but also the second largest fresh lake in the world, following Lake Superior in North America. The massive lake is Africa’s largest lake by area, and it is the largest tropical lake in the world and can be found on the borders of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

It is not like Australia that is a country as well as a continent. The misconception in thinking that Africa is a country rather than a continent is fueled by the media and those who more often than not project Africa as a country damaged by war, famine and corruption. Africa is a continent with 54 different countries that it supports. The largest black continent in the world and home to more than 1 billion people in the world hence 1 in 7 of any human on earth is an African. Is Africa a Country?

And this is not confined to meeting in foreign countries, but in Africa too. So when I meet a Nigerian, we have to speak in English, our colonial masters' language. And if I meet a Senegalese, we have to use French! It is interesting to note that when you travel to a foreign country, you are expected to learn the language of that country. For example, I now speak Arabic, Hebrew and Greek because I spent some time in Egypt, Greece and Israel. While in those countries, I spent two hours every morning in a class being taught the languages, which I no longer use anyway. And this is the same if you travel to Germany.

The cost of living in African countries with abundant natural resources (Angola, Gabon, etc) is among the highest in the world. Today Tanzania sits on about 15 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves, equivalent to approximately US$150 billion at current prices, or 6 times Tanzania's current GDP. These proved and potential reserves can be a game changer for Tanzania. Yet, extracting and producing is not a simple affair. Massive up-front investments (larger than the country’s current GDP of US$22 billion) and new technologies are necessary, while benefits will typically spread over 25 to 30 years. Short of cash and expertise, Tanzania will have to partner with global companies. Potential candidates (British Gas, Statoil) are already knocking on the door. Roughly, the host country can expect to get around 40 % of total revenues depending on the tax regime and the share production agreement."

The second, slightly less strong, rainy period, is from the beginning of November (around 2 weeks later on Zanzibar) to the middle of December, roughly speaking. The humidity in Tanzania varies throughout the year with the driest and hottest period in the country starting in mid-June and running through to the end of October. This (as discussed below) is known as the \"\"dry period\"\" and is a reliable time to head out to Tanzania as it offers good game viewing along with a comfortable climate. From November until the main rains in April, the humidity starts to climb in the country with the most humid (and, arguably, most uncomfortable) period in January and February. There are, of course, exceptions to this that are mentioned below."

The coastal port of Kilwa was established in 800AD by Arab traders, while Persians had settlements on the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar. By 1200AD, the distinctive Swahili culture had emerged from the unique mix of Arabs, Persians, and Africans. The first European explorer to reach the region was Vasco da Gama in 1498. The land eventually fell into the hands of the Portuguese. In the 1700's, the island of Zanzibar became the center of the Omani slave trade. During the 1880's, German Carl Peters arrived in the region, and by 1891, it came under the control of Germany, becoming German East Africa. Zanzibar also became a British protectorate in the 1890's - led by the kingdom's campaign against slavery. After World War I, German East Africa came under the control of Britain, and it was renamed Tanganyika. In 1954, rebellions against the British rule began to take place, which was headed by the Tanganyika African National Union."

People speak close to 2,000 different languages which is a third of the world's linguistic heritage.

Labour law (Employment law) is the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents which address the legal rights of, and restrictions on, working people and their organizations. As such, it mediates many aspects of the relationship between trade unions, employers and employees. It is the body of law that governs the employer- employee relationship, including individual employment contracts, the application of tort and contract doctrines, and a large group of statutory regulation on issues such as the right to organize and negotiate collective bargaining agreements, protection from discrimination, wages and hours, and health and safety. There are many different sources of law in any society. Some laws will be written in the country's Constitution; others will be passed by the legislature (usually a parliament or congress); others will come from long social tradition. The following are sources of law. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a stateor other organization is governed. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute , what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a written constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution."

In some instances, the insurance agent or independent broker can collect the urine test rather than a nurse. However, in either case, a permission slip is filled out and completed by the insured before the urine sample can be collected. The urine test takes approximately ten minutes for completion. Some of the health dangers tested for by the insurance company in any urine test include the following:1. The HIV virus2. Cocaine and the presence of other drugs3. Nicotine – Smokers often pay 50% to 100% higher premiums than non-smokers.

Researchers have found two different gene mutations that cause ADPKD. Most people with ADPKD have defects in the PKD1 gene, and 1 out of 6 or 1 out of 7 people with ADPKD have a defective PKD2 gene. 6Health care providers can diagnose people with PKD1 sooner because their symptoms appear sooner. People with PKD1 also usually progress more quickly to kidney failure than people with PKD2. How quickly ADPKD progresses also differs from person to person."

"text": "Cocaine can be detected in the system anywhere from 12 hours to 4 days after use. The length of time cocaine stays in your system depends on the dosage amount ingested, the route of administration and frequency of use. When cocaine is metabolized, the liver turns it into benzoylecgonine, which is then excreted in urine. This process profoundly affects how long coke stays in the system, as the benzoylecgonine stays in the system much longer than the actual cocaine. What is Cocaine and what plant is Cocaine made from? Cocaine, one of the most addictive drugs in existence, comes from nature, though its short and long-term effects promote anything but natural health and well-being. Derived from the leaves of the coca plant, cocaine appears as a white powder in its purest form. Whether smoked, snorted or injected, cocaine produces a short-lived “high,” which further contributes to its addictive properties. Likewise, the length of time cocaine stays in your system is also short-lived, though residues may linger considerably longer within various areas of the body. Take Back Your Life."

Written by James Hirby and Fact Checked by The Law Dictionary Staff Urinalysis is becoming an increasingly popular means for employers, insurers and government agencies to determine the risk profiles of the individuals with whom they interact. While pre-employment drug screenings have been routine for many years, these tests are becoming more prevalent in other areas of the economy as well. If you're applying for a life insurance policy, you might be surprised to learn that you'll be subject to a urine test for certain legal and illegal substances. If your policy comes with a particularly large face value, you might be subject to an even more rigorous screening. This might come in the form of a blood test or hair-follicle exam. The former may accurately reveal your substance-use history over the preceding three to five months. The latter may accurately measure your substance-use history over the preceding six to nine months. Although urine tests are far more time-sensitive, they can still reveal evidence of substance abuse within the past few days. For some substances, this look-back window may be a bit longer."

By Insure.com | Last updated: July 13, 2017A medical exam often is required in order to buy a life insurance policy, but if you’re in good health you have nothing to fear. Following a few easy tips will help to ensure that you receive the best possible results – and thus the best life insurance rates. With an underwritten policy, a medical exam may be required depending on your age and the amount of insurance you are buying. If you're seeking such a policy with a low face value, you may not even be asked to undergo an examination. \"\" Typically a $250,000 policy is going to require an exam,\"\" says Jack Dewald, a past chairman of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education. \"\" With a typical exam, a paramedical is going to come to a person's home or office at their convenience,\"\" Dewald says. \"\" You don't have to go to a doctor's office. \"\" Tests within a life insurance health exam Generally, you won’t have to budget much time for your exam. A basic exam takes just 15 to 30 minutes and typically includes: Height and weight measurements."

In fact, Lortab is most likely to be found on a drug test or opiate screen if you’ve taken Lortab within the last 24 hours. After that, the amounts of metabolites in blood and urine are low enough that many labs won’t pick up on them. TABLE OF CONTENTSTaking Lortab Peak Levels and Half-Life Blood Sample Tests Hair Sample Tests Urine Sample Tests At Home Tests Signs of a Problem Taking Lortab Lortab is a tablet containing the narcotic pain medication hydrocodone and the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen. According to this 2014 SAMHSA Slide Show on Hydrocodone and Oxycodone Drug Testing , hydrocodone with acetaminophen, is the most frequently prescribed opioid drug in the U. S. Why do most people take it? The main uses of Lortab include treating moderate to severe pain. In fact, its main active ingredient is hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is considered an opioid, or a made made, synthetic opiate. As an opioid, Lortab works by affecting the central nervous system and changes the way the body and brain respond to pain."

This stark finding was published in the British Medical Journal a few years ago. Over time various clinical research has proven that smoking can cause many health issues like heart disease, lung cancer, COPD and more. This is exactly why health insurance and life insurance companies make it a point to charge a higher premium for those who are confirmed as smokers. Certainly some people do not think this is fair, and it may very well not be. But to obtain health care or life insurance today, you are likely to face a nicotine test. You may even face one to obtain employment. Nicotine testing is used by insurance companies to test whether the claims made in the application form are correct or not. Therefore nicotine testing is very much a part of the medical screening process that is conducted to finalize the premium that shall be charged. The premium that a non-smoker can expect to pay for a life insurance plan or a health plan is significantly lower than the amount that a smoker will need to pay."

[ 1] It is estimated that 12,000 bears are farmed for bile [2] in China, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar. [ 3] [4] [5] [6] [7]The bear species most commonly farmed for bile is the Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus ), [8] although the sun bear ( Helarctos malayanus ), brown bear ( Ursus arctos) and every other species are also used (the only exception being the Giant Panda ). [ 9] [10] Both the Asiatic black bear and the sun bear are listed as Vulnerable on the Red List of Threatened Animals published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. [ 8] [9] They were previously hunted for bile but factory farming has become common since hunting was banned in the 1980s. [ 11]The bile can be harvested using several techniques, all of which require some degree of surgery, and may leave a permanent fistula or inserted catheter. A significant proportion of the bears die because of the stress of unskilled surgery or the infections which may occur. Farmed bile bears are housed continuously in small cages which often prevent them from standing or sitting upright, or from turning around. These highly restrictive cage systems and the low level of skilled husbandry can lead to a wide range of welfare concerns including physical injuries, pain, severe mental stress and muscle atrophy. Some bears are caught as cubs and may be kept in these conditions for up to 30 years. ["

First up, Retro Rover’s comment: ” Pings levels have fluctuated quite a bit over her liver disease journey of two years. Also I would ask the vet about what will be gained from the biopsy. In Pings case we elected not to do it as they said it would only possibly reveal the big C and there was basically nothing to be done about that.

The disorder can occur a single time (acute), or can recur multiple times (chronic). Description The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ in the upper right hand corner of the abdomen. It is connected by a series of ducts (tube-like channels) to the liver, pancreas, and duodenum (firstpart of the small intestine). To aid in digestion, the liver produces a substance called bile, which is passed into the gallbladder. The gallbladder concentrates this bile, meaning that it reabsorbssome of the fluid from the bile to make it more potent. After a meal, bile is squeezed out of thegallbladder by strong muscular contractions, and passes through a duct into the duodenum. Due to the chemical makeup of bile, the contents of the duodenum are kept at an optimal p H level fordigestion. The bile also plays an important part in allowing fats within the small intestine to be absorbed."

All of the world's eight species of bears, except the Giant Panda, have suffered population declines as a result of this Traditional Medicine trade (Knights 1996). Their gallbladders are ground into powder, and bile is extracted for various medicinal purposes, including digestive problems, inflammation and blood purification. Sold at extremely high prices, a record $45,000 was paid for a single gallbladder (Barron 1991). To illustrate the avid market in this product, an Asian dealer in New York City was murdered in 1991 to obtain his profits from the sale of bear gallbladders. Japan imported 1,500 pounds of bear bile in 1989 alone (Schaller 1993). The largest consumer of bear bile is now South Korea, and Koreans have even hunted Black Bears ( Ursus americanus) in California and placed ads in newspapers to purchase bear gallbladders from hunters (Knights 1996). A Grizzly or Brown Bear ( Ursus arctos) gallbladder can sell for up to $10,000 on the black market, and the larger the gallbladder, the higher the price. A Black Bear gallbladder can be purchased from a poacher in Idaho for $15, but in Hawaii, it brings $1,500, and in Korea, as much as $15,000 (Barron 1991)."

Once common throughout much of western North America, the grizzly species currently reside in five separate populations in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington, and there are around 30,000 bears in Alaska. Over the past two hundred years, the number of grizzly bears in North America has declined from an estimated 100,000 individuals in the lower 48 states to around 1,600 - based on current Defenders of Wildlife statistics. They live in a variety of habitats from meadows to dense forests to the arctic tundra regions. In 1975 The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the grizzly bear as a threatened species in the lower 48 states under the Endangered Species Act and six recovery ecosystems have been established since that time. In Alaska, where there is a much greater population, they are classified as a game animal with established hunting regulations. Image courtesy of Greg Harvey All species of bears have come under siege from a multitude of causes including the exotic animal black market, habitat loss, hunting, being killed for their meat and contact with people. Much of the grizzly’s habitat ranges have been lost or degraded as a result of development, the building of roads, and energy/mineral exploration. Bears come into contact with humans when they are attracted to food and garbage. This can often be lethal for the bear."

PBC is a chronic disease that can, little by little, destroy some of the tubes linking your liver to your gut. These tubes are called bile ducts. The bile ducts carry a fluid called bile to your gut (also known as your intestine or bowels). When PBC damages your bile ducts, bile can no longer flow through them. Instead it builds up in the liver, damaging the liver cells and causing inflammation and scarring. Over the years this damage becomes widespread. The liver becomes less able to repair itself, leading to a condition known as cirrhosis. The damage caused to your liver cells by cirrhosis can result in the failure of your liver carry out all of its jobs properly. Who is at risk of PBC?"

The composition of gallbladder bile is 97% water, 0.7% [1] bile salts, 0.2% bilirubin, 0.51% fats (cholesterol, fatty acids and lecithin ), [1] and 200 meq/l inorganic salts. ["

"text": "\"Recognize and Overcome Gall Bladder Symptoms Naturally Gall bladder symptoms can be intensely painful amd distressing for the sufferer as anyone who has the problem of gall bladder stones and subsequent gall bladder disease will know. The first time you are struck by an attack of gall bladder pain, because of the site of the likely intense discomfort, it can make you think the worst - such as \"\"heart attack\"\", or perhaps you'll mistake it for a severe bout of indigestion and wonder why your normal antacids do not seem to be helping you. Inside your body the gall bladder sits right underneath the liver and undertakes a crucial role in producing bile that helps the body to break down and digest fats. Bile primarily contains a combination of water, fats (including most importantly with respect to gallstones formation) cholesterol, bile salts (that actually break up the fats), proteins and the naturally yellow colored substance called bilirubin, that is excreted into the bile during the process of \"\"haem catabolism\"\", when the blood haemoglobin is broken down. Bilirubin is the factor in blood that makes bruises sometimes look yellowish, and is also the reason for the skin taking a yellow hue in cases of jaundice, when the liver function is impaired. It is also the other major factor in the forming of gallbladder stones Why Gall Bladder Stones Form Sometimes when the level of cholesterol and/or bilirubin in the bile becomes too high – due to a biological imbalance – the bile can harden and form granules – or stones - commonly called gallstones. In fact, they can be small – the size of sand grains - or they can become as large as a golf ball. If you are prone to the development of gallstones they can be any size between these extremes and it is very possible that a stone can become lodged in the canal that the bile passes along near to the liver (the hepatic duct). This can result in gall bladder symptoms or gall bladder disease. Cholesterol based gall bladder stones tend to be larger and lighter colored."

"text": "Sausage casing refers to a variety of different products into which ground meats, spices, and vegetables can be stuffed in order to produce a firmly packed product. Some sausages go into casings to then be smoked or pre-cooked, while others are packed into fresh edible casings and are sold fresh. Shoppers can also find some sausages that are not made in casings, but are molded together instead, but these are less common. Casings can come in several varieties. Some forms are not edible, like the fibrous sausage casing, and these tend to be made of cellulose and often resemble paper. They may be treated with wax to seal in the flavors of certain sausages. Consumers are likely to see the fibrous casings on products like salami or summer sausage. These casing types have the disadvantage of needing to be peeled off prior to eating the sausage. There are two types of sausage casing that are made from collagen. One form is chemically produced to form uniform sizes so that cooks can always make sausages in predictable sizes."

The first is a question of classification, and no, a saucisson is type of cured sausage, but you'd want \"\"saucisson sec\"\" (dry sausage) for a dried, cured sausage with good storage characteristics like salami. So the relation is the other way around -- a salami is a type of saucisson. \"\" Differences\"\" when you're dealing with general classifications such as this tend to be a question of if there are items that might fit into one category, but not the other. It's pretty obvious that salami is a narrower term than sausiccon, but I'm not sure if salami and sausiccon sec are just different names for the same concept, or if there might be items in one class that wouldn't fall into the other.update : would sweet bologna be considered a saucisson sec ?

From juicy Italian pork sausages, to spicy Mexican chorizo, to the firm and dry sausages in Asia, almost every culture has their version. Most likely this widespread culinary theme comes from frugality. How better to use all the odds and ends of the animal? Making bacon from scratch last summer was a revelation. Not only was it great tasting, but it was easy and soon we were on the hunt for what to make next. My mom wanted to make prosciutto, but I thought trying to cure an entire pig’s leg was a bit ambitious for our next porktastic project. I bought her Michael Ruhlman’s book Charcuterie for her birthday and since then we’ve been talking about making sausage from scratch at home, including stuffing it into casings. Fortunately, I already had the grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid Mixer but I did have to buy the sausage stuffer attachment. Because I’ve been trying to eat healthier, which includes eating less meat, when I do eat it I not only want it to taste good, but be good for me (well, as much as 25% fat sausage can be)."

Some cultures had dietary restrictions based on religious beliefs...... I doubt you would find many traditional Muslim or Jewish pork sausage recipes.

( more photos) ~Elise Making sausage at home is one of those lost arts that really is not so difficult as it sounds. At its core, a sausage is simply ground meat and fat, salt, and flavorings. It really is not much more involved than grinding your own hamburger; you don’t even have to stuff it into links if you don’t want to. Yet the flavor of a well-made link surpasses the sum of its parts, and a truly great sausage is fit to be served as a main course at a fancy dinner. Good sausage is all about balance. Balance of salt and savory, balance of meat and fat, balance of spices and herbs within the whole. Knowing a proper ratio of salt to meat (and fat) is essential, but once you understand it you can adjust to your own perception of saltiness, which varies wildly among people."

"text": "There are two broad categories of sausage casing: natural and artificial. Natural sausage casing is made from the intestines or stomachs of various animals and is permeable to air and outside flavorings while also being very strong and edible. An artificial sausage casing can be made from collagen, cellulose, cotton or plastic and is generally not edible or as flexible as a natural casing, but is much more cost effective and consistent in size and quality. The type of sausage casing used is usually determined by the type of sausage being made, with artificial casings used for larger or mass-produced sausages, and natural casings being a more popular choice for home sausage making and links that will be processed with smoke. There are actually several varieties of natural sausage casing based on the type of animal from which it is made. Hog casings, made from the intestines of pigs, provide a very meaty flavor to sausages and are often used to make breakfast links. Sheep casings tend to be smaller than the other types of natural casings and are used for small or thin sausages. Ad Beef casings are very durable, can be very large and can be used for a variety of large sausages or salamis. One benefit of using a beef casing is that it can be stripped of a large amount of fat, leaving a very lean container for the sausage meat. Some beef casings are actually made from the lining of the stomach of the cow and can be used to wrap larger sausage products."

By Sue Lau, A Palatable Pastime March 27, 2014A Palatable Pastime View Caption About video ads View Caption In the Queen City of Ohio, Cincinnati, we love our wursts and we take it to an art form. Bratwurst, mettwursts, bockwurst, knockwurst, Italian sausage, Portuguese sausage, Kielbasa and other smoked sausages make up the greater part of those “art supplies,” but perhaps none so distinctive of us here in southwest Ohio than Goetta, a name that simultaneously frightens the uninformed and whets the taste buds of the experienced. Have you eaten goetta? First it helps to know how to say the word so that when you ask your butcher for some, you won’t get \"\"a look.\"\" Here in Ohio, we call it “get-uh”, as in “get a load of this,” “get a life,” and of course, as in this post, “get a dog. ”Recommended: Easy appetizers and desserts The major manufacturer of commercially prepared goetta in Ohio is Gliers, who sell their product in one pound bulk packages in the meat section of the market, near the bacon and breakfast sausage. If you are lucky, you might find goetta dogs packaged there as well, with the mixture inside of casings, as hot dogs are. Easy appetizers and desserts Photos of the Day Photos of the day 05/05To be sure, even though it is sold near the breakfast sausage, this item isn’t really intended for breakfast."

"text": "\"» Home » Conditions Disabilities »What Causes Thick Toenails By R. Drysdale | Conditions Disabilities | Rating: Thick toenails are often assumed to be caused by the growth of fungus under the toenails and in the toenail itself. In many cases, this assumption is correct, however there are other things that will make a toenail look thick and distorted - injury to the root of the nail can do it temporarily, while severe or repeated injury can permanently distort a nail. People who engage in sports such as soccer can experience this kind of damage. Skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema will distort a nail as well if the area around the nails is affected. This is because nails are really made up of dead skin cells that have been stacked together very tightly. Just as the skin becomes inflamed and irritated by a skin condition, the tissues around the root of the nail where the nail is produced become inflamed and this can be the cause of thick toenails. If the problem is being caused by a fungus, other signs are usually present. Before thick toenails developed, there was probably some yellowish or brownish discoloration of otherwise healthy looking nail. The nail may have begun to separate from the nail bed and the discolorations and separation may have moved gradually from the nail tip toward the root. A fungus, growing in the nail bed and gradually sending out hyphae into the substance of the nail causes these typical signs and is often the cause of thick toenails."

And to tell the truth, it’s not a trivial question. Thick toenails can be the starting point for bad bruises, infections, even gangrene. In a disaster situation, these problems could become more likely if you have to do a lot of walking or even just standing. If your shoes press on the toenail, the toe can become quite bruised. Then, if your toes swell from the bruising, the shoes will be tighter on them, causing a dangerous cycle, even to the point of killing some of the tissue under the nail. So it’s best to treat thick toenails before a disaster rather than during.5 Causes of Thick Toenails1. Fungi. A fungus is a common cause and hard to get rid of."

Expert Answers Jane Andersen, DPM, is a board-certified podiatrist in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She provides surgical and nonsurgical foot and ankle care to all types of patients, including the geriatric population in her area. With the American Podiatric Medical Association, she has worked to educate the public on foot and ankle health. The best way to trim the toenails of an older adult at home is to trim them straight across, if possible. Rounding the edges encourages ingrown toenails. If the nails are thick, try soaking the feet in warm water prior to trimming. A toenail clipper with a straight edge works well. Use an emery board to smooth rough edges. If the nails prove difficult to trim or if the person has diabetes or vascular disease (which warrant regular inspection of feet because they're especially prone to infection and damage ), the person should be seen and cared for every two or three months by a podiatrist or other physician."

"text": "Have you noticed that one or more of your toenails have become thicker than your other nails, or they are becoming increasingly harder to cut? As someone who’s been through this myself, I’m here to provide you with all the information you need, from what can cause your toenails to thicken, how to care for and treat the condition and tips for preventing it from reoccurring. Causes There are a number of different reasons that this could occur, with the most common one being a fungal nail infection – the medical term for this being Onychomycosis. Almost 10% of the adult population in most western countries (including 35 million Americans) have a fungal nail infection on one or more of their toenails, and it’s the cause of about half of all nail related issues. Other than a fungal nail infection, thick toenails can also be caused by a trauma to the nail, which has the medical name of Onychauxis. This doesn’t necessarily mean it has had something heavy dropped on it, or that your foot was trodden on, as it can also be caused by things like poorly fitted shoes which cause the nail to rub against the shoe repeatedly. Another cause of thickened toenails could be a medical condition, such as diabetes. One of the side effects of diabetes is poor blood circulation, especially to the lower extremities. As a result of the poor blood flow to your toes, the skin and nails do not receive the required nutrients to grow properly. Psoriasis is another medical condition that can cause nails to thicken, and is typically characterized by areas of red, raised and flaky skin that may look like scales."

Or worse – do your feet feel like they burn even when you aren’t having an awesome cardio session? These are good indications that there may be an underlying foot fungus issue happening to the often sensitive skin of your feet. Sometimes a foot fungus issue involves the toenails more than the skin of the foot and may not produce any bothersome symptoms – but is still an issue that must be addressed so your feet can feel nice. Toenails that curl inward from the sides, are turning yellow, are becoming thicker, or may be consistently brittle could be the result of a fungus. In most instances, a fungal infection of the feet is not a serious problem… as long as you treat it. If foot fungus is left untreated, there is the possibility of an athlete’s foot problem moving from the toes to the entire foot. Cracks in the skin can grow deeper and cause painful, bleeding sores."

An infection inside the nail starts with a white or yellow patch under the nail, and as it spreads, it causes the toenail to grow thick, discolour and crumbled on edges. It makes up to 50% of the nail abnormalities. They are of four kinds: Proximal subungual onychomycosis- Caused due to nail fold, where fungal infection penetrates the newly formed nail plate. White superficial onychomycosis (WSO)- Tends to create a chalky white appearance or “white island” on nails. Distal subungual onychomycosis- It invades the nail bed and underside of the nail plate. Candidal onychomycosis- Causes due to frequent immersion in water where a genus called “Candida” invades the nail plate Signs and Symptoms Depending upon the various classifications of fungal infections, the signs and manifestations that are seen in the toenail fungus are: Thick toenails Crumbled and distorted nail edges Pain in the toes Dull or yellow toe nails Slight foul odour Infected nail separates from the nail bed Development of fungus-free skin lesions, called Dermatophytids Rashes or itching What causes nail fungus infections?

Whatever the root cause, thick toenails prove difficult to trim or cut. Rather than damage or split your toenails by trying to chip away at them with a nail clipper or manicure scissors, you can soften them in advance and make cutting them much more simple. Pour at least 1 gallon of warm water into a bathtub, dishpan or deep basin. Add 2-1/2 tbsp. of table salt for each gallon of warm water you have in the bathtub or container. Soak your feet for 10 to 30 minutes until your toenails are sufficiently soft. The thicker the toenail, the longer you should soak it. Remove your feet from the water and pat dry with a towel."

Reasons For Purple Toenail Tight Shoes Wearing tight shoes with a narrow toebox can push the toenail against the wall of the shoe. The repeated hitting of the toenail can result in a nail injury and purple toenail. Long Toenails Long toenails can put you at risk of toenail injury.

Effective home treatments include vinegar, essential oils and coconut oil. What Is Nail Fungus? Toenail fungus, formally known as onychomycosis, is a very common fungal infection that afflicts the dark, moist environment of the feet and can be picked up just about anywhere (fingernail fungus is possible as well and can be treated in the same way, but occurs less often). Symptoms of toenail fungus are generally limited to the nail itself and begin with a white or yellow patch beneath a nail's tip. This will worsen until the affected nail thickens and becomes brittle. Other symptoms include changes in nail color and shape; eventually nails will split or even separate from the nail bed. Nail fungus may accompany other fungal issues like athlete’s foot or a systemic candida infection. The key to completely eradicating nail fungus is to faithfully use the remedy you choose for 3-6 months on a daily basis."

Onychomycosis can cause the skin to thicken along the outer edge of the nail and directly underneath, according to Columbia University. This skin accumulation may produce a foul odor that is most noticeable during filing and nail grooming. If you have thick skin under your toenails, don’t despair it.

It is created when two or more people or entities come together to do business, and can be the equivalent of a sole proprietorship in terms of its ease of set up and lack of legal protection. However, some jurisdictions have started to create variations on this form of ownership, such as the limited partnership, in an effort to provide some protection to business owners and/or to better define the relationships of the partners.

Comments 83 Email Print Share There's know-how in business and then there's \"\"know why.\"\" Purpose is a powerful motivator on many levels, says Jim Heskett. Can we aspire to a strong sense of \"\"know why\"\" even if our organization is not out to change the world? What do you think? Online forum now open.by Jim Heskett Summing Up The central debate among respondents to this month's column was joined early when the first respondent, Aaron Tice, commented, \"\"Without the execution of business objectives in the pursuit of that purpose, the purpose will never be reached.\"\" Elvira Hernando agreed, saying, \"\"Purpose is just one part of the whole process …. We definitely have to concretize the steps we intend to do, break down the core purpose to objectives, and then to relevant action plans ….\"\" Shrikant Sortur reminded us of Emerson's quote, \"\"The man who knows How will always have a job, the man who also knows Why will always be his boss,\"\" before concluding that it's a \"\"balance of 'Know Why' and 'Know How' that will generate results. \"\""

"text": "\"Abnormal Psychology Saul Mc Leod published 2008, updated 2014Abnormal psychology is a division of psychology that studies people who are \"\" abnormal \"\" or \"\" atypical \"\" compared to the members of a given society. There is evidence that some psychological disorders are more common than was previously thought. Depending on how data are gathered and how diagnoses are made, as many as 27% of some population groups may be suffering from depression at any one time (NIMH, 2001; data for older adults). The definition of the word abnormal is simple enough but applying this to psychology poses a complex problem: what is normal? Whose norm? For what age? For what culture? The concept of abnormality is imprecise and difficult to define. Examples of abnormality can take many different forms and involve different features, so that, what at first sight seem quite reasonable definitions, turns out to be quite problematical. There are several different ways in which it is possible to define ‘abnormal’ as opposed to our ideas of what is ‘normal’."

Frei From the April 2008 Issue SUMMARY SAVE SHARE COMMENT TEXT SIZE PRINT 8.95 BUY COPIESView more from the April 2008 Issue Explore the Archive Loading... As the world’s major economies have matured, they have become dominated by service-focused businesses. But many of the management tools and techniques that service managers use were designed to tackle the challenges of product companies. Are these sufficient, or do we need new ones? Let me submit that some new tools are necessary. When a business takes a product to market, whether it’s a basic commodity like corn or a highly engineered offering like a digital camera, the company must make the product itself compelling and also field a workforce capable of producing it at an attractive price. To be sure, neither job is easy to do well; enormous amounts of management attention and academic research have been devoted to these challenges. But delivering a service entails something else as well: the management of customers, who are not simply consumers of the service but can also be integral to its production. And because customers’ involvement as producers can wreak havoc on costs, service companies must also develop creative ways to fund their distinctive advantages. Any of these four elements—the offering or its funding mechanism, the employee management system or the customer management system—can be the undoing of a service business. This is amply demonstrated by my analysis of service companies that have struggled over the past decade."

When setting up a business, choosing the right structure can be critical to the success and life of the company. Sole Proprietor: this is the most traditional form of business, where one simply goes into business in their own name or under a \"\"doing business as\"\" (DBA) trade name. It offers the least protection to the owner of the business but is the simplest to set up. Partnership: this is another very common form of business ownership. It is created when two or more people or entities come together to do business, and can be the equivalent of a sole proprietorship in terms of its ease of set up and lack of legal protection. However, some jurisdictions have started to create variations on this form of ownership, such as the limited partnership, in an effort to provide some protection to business owners and/or to better define the relationships of the partners. Corporations: this is a form of business ownership that creates a separate legal entity which is jointly owned by multiple investors. There are two primary forms of corporations: S and C.

The concept is that you value a company based on the present value of its Free Cash Flows far into the future. You divide the future into a \"\"near future\"\" period of 5-10 years and then calculate, project, discount, and add up those Free Cash Flows; and then there's also a \"\"far future\"\" period for everything beyond that, which you can't estimate as precisely, but which you can approximate using different approaches. You need to discount everything back to its present value because money today is worth more than money tomorrow. Walk me through a DCF. \"\" A DCF values a company based on the Present Value of its Cash Flows and the Present Value of its Terminal Value. First, you project a company's financials using assumptions for revenue growth, margins, and the Change in Operating Assets and Liabilities; then you calculate Free Cash Flow for each year, which you discount and sum up to get to the Net Present Value. The Discount Rate is usually the Weighted Average Cost of Capital."

From Our Mayday website, April 2003History & Definition It is like the air we breathe & the water we drink, it is like beer & cricket & the need for money. It is, we think, the natural order of things. The exact birth date of capitalism remains shrouded in the mists of history, with anywhere between the 14th & 17th century being suggested. Key starting points have been identified as the enclosure of common land,the development of merchant capital, the transatlantic slave trade & the 'witchcraft' persecutions of thousands of 'masterless' women, who found relative freedom as bonds of feudalism weakened. Developing from within feudal society, the birth of capitalism was violent & painful, tearing apart the existing relations of society With terrible force a new class was created - the working class - torn from the land by enclosures & on pain of death set to work in the factories. The class oppressions of feudal society were not done away with, but were created anew. Early capitalism required a constantly expanding market for selling its products & a constantly expanding pool of cheap labour. This led to the discovery of the 'new world' & the extermination of its indigenous inhabitants; to colonialism, countless massacres & two world wars. As the world market was finite, capitalism also had to intensify exploitation & create a need for consumer goods."

Claeys Summer 2011T he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, often called \"\"Obamacare,\"\" poses one of the gravest challenges to republican self-government since the Civil War. It establishes a vast array of new entitlements, cost controls, and regulations over the health sector that comprises one-sixth of the U. S. economy. And it raises profound constitutional concerns — not only because of its sheer scope, but also because of the authority it claims for the federal government. When Obamacare was enacted, opponents believed they had only one avenue of recourse: campaign for three years to overturn the law, and then make the 2012 election a referendum on repeal. This strategy has had a promising start. The 2010 midterm elections swept into Congress many Republicans who had campaigned on reversing President Obama's health-care agenda. In January 2011, the new Republican House promptly passed a repeal bill, and Obamacare remains quite unpopular with the public. Yet no one can say for sure that the legislative repeal strategy will succeed. One could hardly blame Obamacare's opponents for seeking to overturn the law by other, swifter, means. And in the past six months, some of these opponents have come to believe they have found such a means: a suit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of key provisions of the law."

When most people think of starting a business, they think of beginning from scratch--developing your own ideas and building the company from the ground up. But starting from scratch presents some distinct disadvantages, including the difficulty of building a customer base, marketing the new business, hiring employees and establishing cash flow...all without a track record or reputation to go on. Buying an Existing Business In most cases, buying an existing business is less risky than starting from scratch. When you buy a business, you take over an operation that's already generating cash flow and profits.

We spoke with him about wildfires in California and how catastrophic losses affect how homeowners must deal with their insurance carriers in the rebuilding process. Interviewer: Can you explain how will the recent California fires affect homeowners? Claims Consultant: Well, if history is any teacher, we’ll probably find out that another carrier or two have decided that they’re going to pull out of California with the recent fires up in the Tahoe area. It seems like we have more than our share of catastrophes and every time that occurs, we loose a carrier or two and then of course everybody’s insurance rates will be affected, one way or the other. They’re going to go up. The carriers are going to maintain their income and their profits, so the only way they could do it when they have catastrophic losses is to increase the premiums. That’s my perspective anyway. Interviewer: Is it fairly common for carriers just to pull out of the state when they experience great losses?"

Yet stocks remain misunderstood by a vast majority of the population (including those who invest), many of whom look upon a share of stock as being some mysterious force that is beyond rational explanation; a series of letters and numbers that fluctuate on digital ticker tape and cause brokerage and retirement account balances to rise and fall without rhyme or reason. But the truth is that a well-chosen collection of stocks, particularly as part of a portfolio of diversified assets and asset classes, can provide freedom from financial worry as well as flexibility to pursue your passions on your own time. Here's what you need to know about investing in stocks. What Is Stock? Put simply, a share of stock represents legal ownership in a business. Corporations issue stock, usually in one of two varieties: common stocks and preferred stocks. Stocks are sometimes interchangeably called \"\"securities\"\", because they are a type of financial security, or \"\"equities,\"\" because they represent ownership (equity) in a business.

It spreads to the personal level leading to the mixing of personal and professional lives and annihilating the organizational harmony. Meanwhile, there are companies where employees love to work because they can express their feelings to their colleagues and trust their organization and its leadership. In such places, mutual help takes top priority among employees. The bonding becomes so strong the employees feel like a “family”.

As each character is made up by a series of single brushstrokes, the student will soon learn to recognize these as components of the completed character and the written Chinese language will become much less forbidding.

A. What is calligraphy? The word \"\"calligraphy\"\" is originally a Greek word meaning \"\"beautiful writing.\"\" We usually associate this word with good penmanship, handwriting that is neat, legible and attractive. In China, however, calligraphy is regarded as an art from in itself and is admired and displayed in museums just as paintings are. Moreover, calligraphy is often used to decorate articles of everyday use.

"text": "Help“What does this i Phone symbol mean” is a question we hear a lot at Macworld. While the i Phone and i OS are as easy to use as possible, the i Phone shows many symbols, icons and alerts. Getting to know what these symbols will help you to understand Apple’s i OS operating system. Here’s our guide to various i Pad and i Phone symbols so you know what they mean: What does a padlock with a circled arrow around it on my i Phone mean? The i Phone orientation is locked so apps that support horizontal and vertical modes (like i Books) will be locked to one or the other. Slide your finger up from the bottom of the display to open Control Centre and tap on the Orientation Lock icon (same shape) to to turn it off. What does an E symbol on my i Phone mean? This means you are on an Edge network rather than one of the newer 3G, LTE or 4G networks. Apps like Safari that use the internet may run a little slowly, but you should be able to use them (along with apps like Mail and Maps) just fine. What does GPRS on my i Phone mean?"

Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian The Amazon Echo Dot is essentially all the bits of an Amazon Echo that make it interesting, but without the speaker beneath it – and so it costs just one-third of the price. The Dot is one of three Alexa-enabled products from Amazon that puts the company’s voice assistant front and centre. Only two, the Echo Dot ( find here) and the Echo are available in the UK: the third, the portable Bluetooth speaker called Amazon Tap, is only available in the US. What is it? The micro USB cable and 3.5mm audio cable plug into the back. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian The Dot is a small black or white puck with a ring of lights at the top, four buttons and a seven-microphone array – the same system that makes the Echo speaker so good at hearing you from pretty much anywhere. It listens out for a “wake word”, which by default is the name of the voice assistant contained within the Dot: “Alexa”. Say the wake word and the voice assistant comes to life to answer questions, take commands and perform actions. The Dot has a small built-in speaker, which is good enough for all the voice responses Alexa spits out, alarms and other alerts, but is not really designed to play music, producing tinny sound."

Prior to patch 4.01 and Cataclysm haste affected the overall time that a HOT or DOT lasted and applied the same number of ticks but over a shorter period of time. Now, however, DOTs and HOTs last the same duration with haste as without but have the duration between ticks shortened. This means that if you have enough haste your spells can gain extra ticks gaining a ton of effectiveness. While many hard-core players and raiders picked up on the importance of this change, many casual players still do not really understand what it means for you and how really critical it is. To make it even more complicated it is not as easy as just stacking haste to get as much as you can. Instead there are what are called break points or plateaus that are what you need to aim for to maximize its benefit. Before we get into that though, let’s look at why this change is so important and then the calculation itself. Why is this important? So why is speeding up the rate at which your HOTs and DOTs tick so important?"

"text": "\"Disclosures / Privacy Policy How To Estimate Cattle Age By Their Teeth In cattle, age is often estimated by examining their lower incisor teeth (cattle do not have upper incisor teeth). Estimating cattle age by their teeth involves noting how many incisor teeth there are, what type of teeth they are (\"\"baby\"\" or \"\"milk\"\" teeth, or permanent teeth), their degree of wear, and overall appearance. This article will offer an introduction to the basics of how age is estimated in cattle two years of age and older. Below: A three-year old cow. The green dots indicate the second pair of permanent incisors. Becoming good at aging cattle by their teeth requires an understanding of the guidelines about how their teeth should look at a given age, as well as extensive practice examining the teeth in cattle of a known age. Learning to age cattle by their teeth strictly by looking at photographs probably isn't possible, but it can be a fun introduction to the basics. Before we begin, there are several things to point out: In the text and photos of this article, we use the term \"\"cow\"\" loosely. For the purpose of this article, \"\"cow\"\" can refer to a cow, bull, steer, or heifer. Cattle have molars on the upper and lower jaws, but have incisors on the lower jaw only."

This implies that for each self-coherent rebel faction there must exist a simple visual scheme for reading the geometric and colour cues of the insignia which translates into a single measure of seniority. The artists who designed the costumes for the films might not have considered such a system in detail, but it is the task of this document to consider the simplest possible ad hoc scheme which is consistent with all of the known examples and with realistic naval and military nomenclature. The non-uniform nature of the Rebel Alliance complicates this project. Unlike the Galactic Empire, which was static, resource-rich and tightly-regulated on a galactic scale, the rebels literally consist of an alliance of many insurgent forces which arose from isolated local resistance movements, and whose philosophies and equipment vary markedly. The overall Alliance composition and structure changed significantly during the years of Galactic Civil War, and it would be unsurprising if these changes were reflected in the uniforms of the rebel armed forces. Therefore it becomes important to carefully distinguish between apparent inconsistencies of factional or temporal origin, and those which must be taken as constraining tests for theories of the underlying order of insignia. Different rebel factions used different uniforms and insignia schemes. This document focuses mainly on the Alderaanian human faction sponsored by the Organa royal family and led by generals such as Jan Dodonna and Carlist Rieekan. This is the rebel group which bore the brunt of the Battles of Yavin and Hoth."

No worries -- this is a common issue and we can show you exactly how to find out. How to find the DOT number on your tires If you look closely at the side of each of your tires, you'll see a bunch of letters and numbers. While this may just look like a confusing jumble, it's actually useful info. Look for a number that starts with the letters “DOT,” followed by a series of 10-12 characters. This code, which is required by the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), will tell you several things: Week, year, and place of manufacture Tire size Manufacturer's unique code For tires manufactured in the year 2000 – present The date of manufacture is the last four digits of the DOT code. The first two digits are the week of manufacture, and the last two digits are the year. For example, if the last four digits of the DOT code are 0203, that means that the tire was manufactured during the second week of the year 2003. Pretty simple, right? However…if your tires were made before 2000, it gets a bit more complicated."

In the course of pursuing those careers, and because I was interested, I came to have a better than average understanding of optics and lens systems. I am also an amateur astronomer, and have owned several astronomical telescopes. Being a curious kind of guy, I have done quite a bit of reading about basic telescope designs, the various types of objective and ocular lens designs, and so forth. Conventional telescopic sights are basically small refracting telescopes, so I think I understand some of the trade-off required in their design. I have tried to present enough information in this article to explain some of the most important aspects of optical sights. I have necessarily left out a great deal of information that might give some readers a better appreciation of the subject, but bore others to tears. I have, for example, not discussed the several types of optical aberrations present in all refracting optical systems, or the design of objective lens systems. This is important stuff, but perhaps a bit beyond the level of understanding most readers wish to achieve."

If you are looking for Ayudha Pooja kolam or Saraswathi Pooja kolam or Vijayadasami kolam one of these 25 plus rangoli designs should be useful. To explain it further if one draws a ner pulli kolam with a 15 to 1 dot pattern it means that the central row of dots is 15 and the last row has one dot - odd number of dots are placed in descending order i.e 13,11, 9, 7,5,3 and 1 and a convenient distance (1 cm approx) on either side of the central row of 15 dots. In idukku pulli kolam also called idai pulli kolam or sandhu pulli kolam ( all refer to the fact that dots are placed in between ) the first row of dots is placed, the next row of dots is placed below the first row in between the dots of the first row and the third row below the second row at a reasonable distance between the dots of the second row and so on.

When face painting was done with natural inks and paints made from ash, bone, mud and who knows what else. When I paint these simple dots and lines on my face I feel a connection to not only other women and cultures but my own past and ancestors. When I close my eyes and apply that last bit of geometry on my face to make me feel strong I feel as if I’m tapping into something. It may just be my love of adornment or maybe Ive just learned to associate it with something I love. I started drawing them on face after putting make-up on for quite a while, weekend after weekend applying my ‘war paint’ to help grant me focus and courage to over come my nervousness on stage while dancing. After a while with no memorable reasons, I began repeating three designs, three dots at the corner of the eye, a line in white splitting the entire face in half vertically, and a line in any color from the bottom lip down the center of the chin. I have notice with in the last few years many more women that are wearing very similar markings. I remember asking my mom why we do this and she had no real answer.

However, where the itch is located, how it looks and the timing of when it showed up may indicate probable causes. Localized skin inflammation, meaning itching in specific or limited areas of the body, are often insect-based or caused by problems such as shingles, plants (poison ivy), or a medication. Generalized itching, itching that occurs all over the body, is usually caused by an allergy, hives, medication or even mites (scabies). Signs of harmless itching usually occur on the arms, groin or feet. If the itch persists for several days with no relief, if the itch comes and goes for several days at a time, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as lesions or rash, be sure to see a Dermatologist for testing.

The tick infects the person with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi). At first, a rash may appear. This can disappear without treatment, but in time, the person may develop problems with the joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne infectious disease in the United States (U. S.). The ticks pick up the bacteria when they bite mice or deer that are carrying it. It was first reported in 1977 in a town called Old Lyme, CT. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) registered 25,435 confirmed cases of Lyme disease and 9,616 probable cases in 2015, an incidence of 8.9 cases in every 100,000 people. The highest number was in Pennsylvania, with 7,351 confirmed cases. New England, the mid-Atlantic States, and the upper Midwest are most prone to ticks that can spread Lyme disease."

The tick, a type of insect parasite, attaches itself to animal skin, feasting on the host’s blood. Infected ticks, however, can spread diseases to their host. Diagnosis of canine tick-borne diseases is based on blood analysis. Thousands of canine tick-borne diseases are diagnosed annually. Many more go undiagnosed and therefore untreated. Though many tick-borne diseases exist, seven are considered more common than others. Ticks can be picked up in vegetative areas like forests and meadows. The inquisitive nature and low-lying stature of canines compared to humans also makes them more susceptible to infestations and thus, potential infection. However, if dogs are bringing infected ticks home with them, the ticks can crawl off the canine and onto the owner, biting and infecting the human."

This is especially true for two creatures which are the bane of hunters and all outdoor enthusiasts; chiggers and ticks. Hopefully this will clear things up a bit and help keep you and your loved ones safe from these pests when afield. Chiggers and ticks are not insects. They are arachnids, which are close cousins of insects and include spiders, scorpions, and mites. In fact, chiggers are mites. A chigger is the larval stage of a mite in the family Trombiculidae. Nymphs and adults of chiggers are called harvest mites which are free living and predators of small arthropods and their eggs.

Adult timber rattlesnakes reach a length of 36 to 40 inches (91 to 101 cm), and weigh 1.3 to 2 pounds (0.58 to 0.9 kg). They have a heavy, light yellow, gray or greenish-white body with a rust-colored strip along the length of their bac and a black tail is tipped with rattles. Timber rattlesnakes have yellow eyes with elliptical or cat-like pupils. Twenty to 29 dark, V-shaped crossbars with jagged edges form a distinctive pattern across their back. Life History Rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice and occasionally birds, other snakes, lizards, and frogs are the timber rattlesnake's prey. Coyotes, bobcats, skunks, foxes, hawks and owls, and snake-eating snakes such as king snakes, indigo snakes and cottonmouths feed on timber rattlesnakes. Sexual maturity is reached at three years for males and up to four years for females. Mating season is in early spring; only once every two to three years for females."

However, some snakes find hibernacula by tracking conspecifics with their forked tongues and vomeronasal sense. General Snake Smell Clean snakes have very little -- if any -- odor. Lacking hair, feathers or dander, and shedding their skin in a punctuated, periodic manner, snakes do not produce smelly detritus like mammals and birds do. However, spending their lives crawling on their bellies, snakes occasionally crawl through foul-smelling substances.

The study, which focuses on North American rattlesnakes, finds that the rate of future change in suitable habitat will be two to three orders of magnitude greater than the average change over the past 300 millennia, a time that included three major glacial cycles and significant variation in climate and temperature. \"\" We find that, over the next 90 years, at best these species' ranges will change more than 100 times faster than they have during the past 320,000 years,\"\" said Michelle Lawing, lead author of the paper and a doctoral candidate in geological sciences and biology at IU Bloomington. \"\" This rate of change is unlike anything these species have experienced, probably since their formation. \"\" The study, \"\"Pleistocene Climate, Phylogeny, and Climate Envelope Models: An Integrative Approach to Better Understand Species' Response to Climate Change,\"\" was published by the online science journal PLo S ONE.

The researchers make use of the fact that species have been responding to climate change throughout their history and their past responses can inform what to expect in the future.

At first, he seemed content to ignore us, perhaps thinking we somehow hadn't noticed a 5-foot-long snake with a mid-section nearly as big around as my thigh lying out in the dead open. After a few minutes of playing possum and listening to us talk about how big he was, the snake suddenly pulled his head back toward his body, raised it six inches off the ground and turned toward us. His tongue flicked in and out, tasting the air. Then he rattled. After the first rattle, he slid across the road into the scrubby woods that began at the edge."

Despite their sinister reputation, snakes are almost always more scared of you than you are of them. Most snakes do not act aggressive toward humans without provocation. Snakes are meat eaters and they catch prey that includes insects, birds, small mammals, and other reptiles, sometimes including other snakes. Only about 400 of 3,000 snake species worldwide are venomous. About 25 species of venomous snakes are found in North America. Many snakes kill their prey by constriction. In constriction, a snake suffocates its prey by tightening its hold around the chest, preventing breathing or causing direct cardiac arrest. Snakes do not kill by crushing prey. Some snakes grab prey with their teeth and then swallow it whole."

"text": "powered by Canebrake / Timber Rattlesnake ( Crotalus horridus) - Venomous Photos by J. D. Willson unless otherwise noted Description: Timber rattlesnakes, which are called canebrake rattlesnake in the Coastal Plain of the Southeast, are large, heavy bodied snakes with the characteristic rattles on the end of the tail. Adults range from 30-60 in (76-152 cm) with the record being more than 6 feet (183 cm) long. Canebrakes are usually gray and may even have a pink hue and a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe running the length of the back. Timber rattlers are typically more brown or yellowish and may even be black. Both forms have solid black tails that appear almost velvet and black chevrons on the back and sides with the point of the (V) pointing forward. The babies are miniatures of the adults but are usually a lighter gray and have only a single button (rattle) on the tip of the tail at birth. Males get larger than females. Range and Habitat: Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes have a wide distribution in the eastern United States but the species is absent from most of Florida. This snake occurs in a wide variety of terrestrial habitat including lowland cane thickets, high areas around swamps and river floodplains, hardwood and pine forests, mountainous areas, and rural habitats in farming areas. They typically become reduced in numbers in highly urbanized or areas of housing development."

In reality, however, few people see rattlesnakes in the wild. They want to be left alone and will never advance toward a human. Even when cornered, a defensively coiled rattlesnake can strike outward with just the forward half of its body. Anyone six feet or more away is well outside biting range. Although it is commonly believed that diamondbacks and timber rattlesnakes live in the Pacific Northwest, the only indigenous species in the region is the western rattlesnake ( Crotalus oreganus ). These wide-ranging reptiles are found in dry, rocky regions west of the Continental Divide, from Mexico to Canada. They are relatively small, averaging about thirty inches in length, with occasional individuals reaching forty-eight inches. Rarely, sixty-inch specimens have been documented."

So far, the text that has accompanied this picture has claimed the rattlesnake was killed in either Poteau Mountain, Arkansas or Olla, Louisiana. Although the location may change, the size of the snake is apparently being consistently reported as 11 feet 4 inches and 59 pounds (with 28 rattles). Let's start with what we know. The color and patterning of the snake give it away as a Timber Rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus. This species is foundthroughout the eastern and central United States. Both Poteau Mountain (located within Ouachita National Forest) and Olla, Louisiana are within the natural range of this species (although Olla is borderline). Therefore, we can't rule out either of these potentials as the true location of the snake."

Five of the 11 species (i.e., timber rattlesnake, eastern hognose snake, northern black racer, smooth green snake, and ribbon snake) were identified as species in greatest need of conservation in New Hampshire’s Wildlife Action Plan completed in the fall of 2005. Overall, snakes are poorly studied and basic distribution and life history information is lacking. The New Hampshire Fish & Game maintains a database of all reptile and amphibian reports through its Reptile and Amphibian Reporting Program (RAARP). The first step to reporting a sighting is accurately identifying the species. Information and photographs were compiled for all of New Hampshire’s native snakes to aid in this identification process.

Georgia is fortunate to have among the highest biodiversity of snakes in the United States with 46 species. Snakes can be found from the mountains of northern Georgia to the barrier islands along the Atlantic coast. The rich diversity of snake species makes Georgia ideal for observing and learning about snakes. According to the National Wildlife Federation, at least 20 percent of the U.

"text": "\"RATTLESNAKESAlan Tennant RATTLESNAKES. Texas has some ten rattlesnake species and subspecies, more than any other state except Arizona. Only three species interact significantly with human beings, however-the western diamondback ( Crotalus atrox ), the prairie ( C. viridus viridus ), and the eastern timber or canebrake ( C. horridus atricaudatus ). These species are widely distributed, are comparatively large, and often exhibit an aggressive temperament. The western diamondback ( atrox denotes \"\"frightful\"\" or \"\"grim\"\") accounts for nearly all the state's serious cases of venom poisoning. The venom of all three species contains both neurotoxically active peptide components and a larger complement of enzymatic fractions that destroy blood and tissue. Diamondback venom has more of the latter as well as about a third greater overall potency than the toxins of either C. viridus or C. horridus. The primary functions of rattlesnake venom are to kill and predigest food animals, a process that starts with the metabolic dissolution of the victim's tissues well before the creature is swallowed. Humans bitten by rattlesnakes and other pit vipers experience immediate severe pain, swelling, sweating and chills, faintness or dizziness, elevation of pulse rate, vomiting, and enlargement of the lymph nodes near the bite. The fang wounds should never be cut open, since the venom proteins so quickly bond to those of their host that extracting them, either in the field or the hospital, is nearly impossible."

The following answer if from Ask.com - What's Your Question? FULL ANSWEREarthquakes can cause trees to fall, cliffs to crumble and caves to collapse, which can have trickle-down effects throughout the ecosystem. Usually, earthquakes change habitats in subtle ways. For example, if an earthquake’s epicenter is near a forest, it may knock trees down. When this happens, it allows sunlight to penetrate the canopy, which allows the growth of different types of plants. These new plants support a new population of animals. Sometimes, earthquakes can create new habitats, ecosystems and ultimately species. For instance, if a portion of the coastline breaks away from the mainland during an earthquake, it will take all of the plants and animals along with it. Over time, the habitat will change in subtle ways, which will necessitate adaptation by the flora and fauna."

Geologic hazards are naturally-occurring phenomena capable of causing loss or damage. Risk is the potential that exposure to the hazard will lead to a negative consequence such as loss of life or economic loss. To illustrate the difference, consider the following two examples . California has a number of faults that produce earthquakes during any given year. Some of these faults are located in populated regions, putting the people in those areas at risk. Other faults occur in remote areas where few people live and few structures exist. While the hazard may be the same for the two different areas, the regional risk differs because the potential impact is greater in the more populated area.

In the Kobe earthquake of 1995, over 100,000 buildings collapsed and about 80,000 more were damaged. Often roads, bridges and railroads buckle and crack because of the shifting ground."

A leading seismic expert recently warned that Southern California's section of the San Andreas fault is \"\" locked, loaded and ready to roll . \"\" But experts also say it's important to keep perspective: The chances of dying in a large temblor are actually quite small. “You’re about as likely to be shot by a toddler than die in an earthquake,” seismologist Lucy Jones said recently at the National Earthquake Conference in Long Beach. Jones made the comments as a call for people not to be frozen by fear of a future earthquake — but know they’re far more likely to survive. That's why it's so important to quake-proof your home as best as you can, and keep bookcases from falling on beds and the house from sliding off the foundation. “We’re afraid of earthquakes because they make us feel out of control. We can’t control the earthquake, but you can control your environment,” Jones said. “"

But I informed them there is no scientific theory or evidence that global warming or climate changes cause the earthquake. They told me they had read the several news papers, research, journals etc and got this information. Few years ago Seismologist Leonardo Seeber inspected about the risk of earthquake in Bangladesh.

What is the gestation period of an American toad, and how many eggs will she lay? A. Well, let’s start by discussing husbandry, as how you are keeping your American toads may affect their interest in eating. The American toad ( Bufo americanus) can be housed in an aquarium or terrarium constructed of molded plastic that is 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall by 24 inch long. This is suitable for two adult toads. Their enclosure does require a tight-fitting cover as they are good jumpers and can hop quite high. They like to burrow and hide during the day, as they are basically nocturnal, so they require some sort of substrate that they can dig down into."

Least Concernlc nt vu en cr ew ex Least Concern Extinct Current Population Trend: Increasing About the Cane Toad The much maligned venomous cane toads earned their bad reputation shortly after being released into the Australian ecology in 1935 with the hope that they would control the destructive cane beetle population. They turned out to be failures at controlling beetles, but remarkably successful at reproducing and spreading themselves. Introduction to Australia About 3,000 cane toads were released in the sugarcane plantations of north Queensland in 1935. They now number well into the millions, and their still expanding range covers thousands of square miles in northeastern Australia. They are considered pests, and government eradication efforts include asking residents to help collect and dispose of them. Cane toads are large, stocky amphibians with dry, warty skin, and are native to the southern United States, Central America, and tropical South America. Their numbers are manageable in their natural range, but they have thrived in Australia because there are few natural predators, they breed easily, and they have abundant food, including pet food, which they steal from feeding bowls left outside of homes. Effect on Australian Ecology Their effects on Australia's ecology include the depletion of native species that die eating cane toads; the poisoning of pets and humans; depletion of native fauna preyed on by cane toads; and reduced prey populations for native insectivores, such as skinks."

It is primarily nocturnal and spends most of the day in its den. There are six species of quoll; four are found in Australia and two in New Guinea. Another two species are known from fossil remains in Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits in Queensland. Genetic evidence indicates that the quoll evolved around 15 million years ago in the Miocene, and that the ancestors of the six species had all diverged by around 4 million years ago. The quoll species vary in weight and size, from 300 grams (11 oz) to 7 kilograms (15 lb). They have brown or black fur and pink noses. They are largely solitary, but come together for a few social interactions such as mating, which occurs during the winter season.

"text": "By Michael Slezak Eat me if you dare (Image: Ian Waldie/Getty)The toxic cane toad introduced to Australia in the 1930s is causing ripples through the ecosystem in ways rarely seen when invasive species spread. We know that toads poison their predators, but this seems to allow other prey species to bounce back. It is a rare piece of solid evidence for an invasive species causing what is called a “trophic cascade” in the wild, researchers say, where killing off top predators has unexpected effects throughout an ecosystem. The toads arrived in 1935 from the Amazon as an experiment to control a beetle that devastated sugar cane crops. It didn’t work. But the initial 102 young toads quickly multiplied until there were hundreds of millions, stretching from coast-to-coast. In places, they form seething masses of up to 2000 toads per hectare. They have even evolved to become better invaders by growing longer legs and being more aggressive, driving some species to extinction in local areas. Simon Clulow from the University of Newcastle in Australia and his colleagues tracked the toad population as they conquered new territory in Western Australia. This was a unique opportunity to track the initial effects on other animals in the area."

The tropical seasonal forest has more or less densely growing trees which lose their leaves during the dry season. The savanna is a grassland with individual trees or groups of trees dotting the landscape. If you look at the climate diagrams to the right, you will see that the temperature regime is the same for both; with average annual temperatures over 20� C . Rainfall can vary from less than 50cm/year to almost 300 cm/year . Savannas would occupy the dryer part of this range. The figure to the left was taken at the Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica . This park has a typical tropical seasonal forest, and gets about 130 cm of rain per year. The rainfall is highly seasonal; with most of the rain falling in the months from May to November, May being both the end of the dry season and the wettest month overall, at least in the year pictured here.

Most frogs and toads will not eat prekilled food, it has to be moving for them to recognize it as a food item. Take the ants from whatever you collect them in and sprinkle them in the enclosure, however there is nothing stopping the ants from crawling out of the enclosure and getting lose in your house.

Credit: claudialothering Roo M Getty Images Full Answer Although salamanders are land creatures, they need to keep their skin and their eggs wet, according to How Stuff Works. This means that they prefer to stay in damp and dark areas, such as under dead wood, logs, rocks and anything else that they can slide under. This means that animals that hunt for them either have to be able to turn over or dig in these areas or catch them when they are out looking for insects to eat. The salamanders' preference in damp areas means that they are more likely to be found looking for food in the night or after a rain storm."

Answer by Sweetpea51184 Confidence votes 5It depends on the toad. On average one fire belly toad will eat around 10-12 crickets a week, in the spring and summer. They tend to hibernate in the fall and winter and may not eat for weeks to months on end. You should feed your fire belly as much as he/she can eat in a few hour period - and on a schedule of every other day or every few days. You can even feed them on a weekly basis. If you have more than one toad than you may not want to consider feeding them on a weekly basis - since you want to make sure that one of the toads is not monopolizing all of the food.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Bullfrogs have teeth on the roofs of their mouths and long, muscular tongues that they use to catch and flip their prey into their mouths. Bullfrogs lunge at their prey with their mouths open, encircling the victim with their tongue and biting down as they draw their mouths toward it. If the prey is too large to fit into the bullfrog's mouth, it bites down as much as it can to keep the prey from escaping, and it uses its hands to slowly shove the prey inside as it feasts."

They failed to control the cane beetles, and became a major pest themselves. Cane toads can harm native wildlife by eating small animals and poisoning larger predators that try to eat them. Household pets are also at risk from poisoning. So far, there is no known way to control cane toads across large areas, but scientists are searching for a biological control agent that is specific to the toad.

When they contract, they bend the knee as well as extend the hip. Throughout your daily activities, you rely on your hamstrings to walk and run. When these muscles become tight, you might experience a shortened walking stride, knee pain or lower back pain. Toe Touch Stretches Toe touch stretches, whether from a seated or standing position, are intended to stretch the hamstrings. In these stretches, you bend at the waist and try to touch your toes with your fingers. This action produces a stretching sensation in the back of the thighs and the lower back. Because the lower back is involved in the toe touch, it should not be performed. It carries a high potential for injury. Safety Concerns These common stretches, particularly the standing version, can lead to injury and should be avoided, according to exercise physiologist Young sub Kwon of the University of New Mexico."

While many stretching exercises are very effective and safe, others are risky and should be avoided or practiced with care under the supervision of a licensed professional. Here are some of the riskiest stretches and why you should think carefully before attempting them.1. Straight Legged Toe Touches This stretch calls for keeping your legs straight while you bend over and touch your toes, with a bent spine. Stretching in this manner can be dangerous. Straight legged toe touches encourage hyperextension of the knees, which occurs when ligaments become stretches, and can lead to knee injury. Straight legged toe touches also put pressure on the disk of the lumbar spine and can lead to spinal disk herniation.2. Hurdler’s Stretch The traditional hurdler’s stretch calls for you to sit on the ground with one leg extended in front of you and the other leg bent behind you. You’re intended to bend backwards in order to stretch the quads on the bent leg. There’s a two legged version of the hurdler’s stretch, which requires bending both legs behind and leaning backward for a double quad stretch."

The exercises below form part of an ankle rehabilitation program and consist of mobility exercises, strengthening exercises and functional exercises. Mobility & stretching exercises Following an ankle sprain the joint often becomes very stiff and the range of motion at the joint is reduced considerably. Mobility exercises for the ankle can start very early in the rehabilitation process from day 2 in mild to moderate sprains. Lateral movements should be avoided in the early stages so as not to put any stress at all on the injured ligaments. Later when pain allows exercises with lateral movements involving sideways motion can be done. Active plantar flexion and dorsi flexion This exercise can be done in the early stages and will help prevent the ankle from seizing up. Simply pull the foot up as far as it will go (dorsiflexion), hold for a couple of seconds and then point it away from you (plantarflexion) and hold again. A good method to start with is to perform 2 sets of 20 reps whilst the ankle is iced and elevated. The advantage of this exercise is that the damaged ligaments will not be stressed by sideways movement, the calf and shin muscles maintain strength and the pumping motion helps to decrease swelling."

Unstable fractures and fractures with poor quality bone require a cast to protect the ankle while it heals. Ankle bones are small and fragile. The implanted plates and screws are meant to hold the bones in place while they heal and are not designed to support weight. The first week to 10 days after surgery consists only of rest, and elevation while the skin and wound heal. The patient will gently flex and extend their toes in the splint.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 7:40Calf Pain Exercises for Runners [Ep50]One of the more common injuries resulting in calf pain after running is a calf strain or a tear. The biggest of the calf muscles, Gastrocenemius to use its correct name, is the largest and most superficial of the muscles in the lower leg and is loaded repetitively and heavily during running sports. With every stride we take when running, the calf gets loaded, firstly to absorb the shock of our body weight landing, then to help propel us forward into the next stride. Now take into account that for every mile we run we take in the region of 1500 strides. Looking at it like this makes it easier to see that if there is a weakness in the calf complex, or a fault elsewhere in the kinetic chain or running technique which leads to more stress being experienced by the calf complex, the potential for calf pain and injury is almost certainly increased. Broadly speaking, the muscles of the calf are have roles more related to creating stability and control of motion around the foot and ankle, rather than creating big, powerful movements. I’ve written elsewhere in this website about a common pattern I see in runners where poor hip function leads to ‘calf overload’: Running: It’s All in The Hips Another common pattern I see is where runners injure their calves and achilles tendons when adapting to forefoot running too quickly. More on that here: Forefoot Running: How to Avoid Calf Pain Often a poor warm-up is cited as a reason why runners suffer calf pain and injury. Most of us appreciate the necessity for a thorough running warm-up, but of course we often learn the hard way!Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."

"text": "Basic postural problems at the hip: anterior pelvic tilt A healthy hip is very important for efficient movement, since most of the power athletes display is generated at the hip. Jumping, sprinting or deadlifting: without a strong hip you won’t excel at these activities. If we look at posture the hip is just as important, since many times wrong posture can be traced back to adaptations at the hip. It is therefore only logical to start looking for postural problems at the hip, because many other postural issues will improve automatically, as soon as you “fix” the hip. Before we delve deeper into postural problems at the hip please make sure you have read the two previous posts on the limitations of stretching in fixing movement and the role of the central nervous system in stretching. These are important aspects to understand and since they’re both very short posts, why not just read them ;-)How the hip adapts to prolonged sitting If we sit a lot our hip flexors “shorten” (for sake of simplicity I will stick with this terminology, but you know the truth now). As you can see most of the hip flexors connect the femur either to the hip or to the lower back. If you have short hip flexors and stand up, your hip flexors will pull on the femur on one end and the hip, as well as the lumbar spine (lower back). This will cause the hip to tilt forward and the lumbar curvature to increase (excessive lordosis). Here is what Tony Gentilcore has to say on anterior pelvic tilt:“Anterior pelvic tilt leads to hip internal rotation, which results in femoral internal rotation, which then causes tibial internal rotation, leading to, as you might’ve guessed, torque being ‘converted’ through subtalar joint pronation.” ("

For example, something as innocuous as weak scapular retractors or tight external rotators can stop a soaring bench press or shoulder press dead in its tracks. The body seeks structural balance, and the quicker you accept this and adjust your programming, the more successful your lifting career will be. This means making time for some of the stuff we all hate, namely \"\"sissy\"\" pre-hab exercises and of course, stretching. The Truth Most lifters won't admit how tight their muscles really are. Each week we make hundreds of loaded contractions; reps upon reps, sets upon sets. Then, when we're at work or at home \"\"relaxing,\"\" we continue to make our muscles fire by holding all sorts of unnatural positions. To help offset this, therapists and trainers advocate flexibility and soft tissue work, but oddly, consider someone who spends 15 minutes a day working at it to be doing a good job. That's not even two hours a week!It's important to recognize the vital relationship between a muscle's quality and its potential to gain size. Rather than being strictly size-obsessed, as we bodybuilders naturally are, a more \"\"outside-the-box\"\" holistic standpoint is at times necessary."

You can’t touch your toes because of the way you have been using your body — and it’s something you can fix. In this toe touching quest, hamstrings are only one of the culprits, but there are some key accomplices including your hip flexors, your mid- and lower back, and even your lats, that need to get in line. In a perfect forward fold, your upper body should bend toward your legs like closing a flip phone (remember those?). Both the upper and lower body remains straight, and the hinge comes from your hips. Your back and lat muscles affect your ability to successfully bend and need to be working optimally. ALSO: Shin Splints, Hurt Knees, and More Injury Prevention Advice from David Reavy Because we are sitting far more than we are supposed to sit, our hip flexors get used to being shortened. The hip flexors attach to the mid- and lower back, the SI joint, and the hip joints. Because of this, when they are chronically shortened, they are pulling you out of optimal position in your pelvis and back, tipping your pelvis forward."

"text": "Flexibility The performance benefits of flexibility training Raphael Brandon explains why and how stretching should best be carried out Flexibility training, or stretching, is used in varying forms by practically every coach, athlete and physiotherapist on a regular basis. That is to say, a form of stretching is likely to take place at some point in every training or therapy session. In terms of its scientific basis, flexibility training is probably the least understood of the fitness components. What does it mean? Flexibility is defined as the static maximum range of motion (ROM) available about a joint. The largest limiting factor of static ROM is the structure of the joint itself. Thus, even after endless stretching exercise, there will be a limit as to how much movement is available. In addition, joint structures can vary between individuals, and this must be recognised when assessing flexibility standards in athletes. Most of the variability in static ROM is due to the elastic properties of the muscle and tendons attached across the joints. ‘ Stiff' muscles and tendons reduce the ROM while ‘compliant' muscles and tendons increase ROM."

Essentrics was inspired by the need for a fitness workout that could tone and shape the body while simultaneously healing and freeing it from pain. Most strengthening workouts leave our joints feeling tight—those over-contracted, tight muscles can lead to injury and premature aging. Essentrics is different—it lengthens and strengthens simultaneously using only the body as a weight: the result is increased strength and mobility. Greater mobility allows you to recruit all of your 620 muscles, making it the ultimate anti-aging program. You’ve had great results training Olympians, pro athletes and celebrities.

"text": "“Now just bend down and touch your toes,” is something we’ve all heard a hundred times or more. And if you have chronically tight hamstrings, you probably cringe every time. Not because you really care about touching your toes. But because you’ve tried stretching. You’ve tried making your hamstrings work like they’re “supposed to.” And it just hasn’t worked. And meanwhile your tight hamstrings strain your back and limit your athletic performance. You’ll probably be glad to know that you’re not alone. Tight hamstrings are a very common problem that can be caused by anything from a natural disposition towards tightness to an old injury or low mobility in the back or pelvis. But whatever the cause, the good news is that you can improve your hamstring flexibility, even if nothing has worked before."

Height increases up to the age of 18 in women and up to the age of 24 in men. It is rather difficult to increase height after reaching adulthood as the production of these hormones slowly stops. Growth is controlled by hormones like human growth hormone (HGH), thyroid hormones, and sex hormones. The length of the bones increases due to the presence of growth plates or epiphyses at the end of long bones. HGH is produced by pituitary gland stimulates bone growth at the growth plates."

Wikipedia goes into a lot of detail about how pitch is subjective, and frequency is objective; the frequency that you think you hear (the pitch) might not be the real frequency at all, due to overtones (see below) and other factors. You can read that article for more details, though for our purposes the definition as \"\"a particular frequency\"\" is sufficient. A note is a named pitch. Arbitrarily named, of course, by us humans. For example, Western music generally refers to the 440 Hz pitch as A, specifically A4. A note can refer to an occurrence of such a pitch as well. Playing A4 twice can either be talked about as \"\"playing one note twice\"\" or \"\"playing two notes\"\", depending on the context and how specific you want to be. Notes that are even multiples of other notes share the same name; for example, 880 Hz (double 440 Hz) is also called A, specifically A5."

An obvious example - a major key sounds happy, whereas a minor key sounds more subdued. Even between keys there are differences - G usually sounds more majestic to me, and D seems more peaceful. But it's different for everyone - it's like if someone asked you to describe different shades of a color - they might see it a little differently.

Understand the features of nonverbal communication and how it interacts with verbal and written communications. Communication can be categorized into three basic types: (1) verbal communication, in which you listen to a person to understand their meaning; (2) written communication, in which you read their meaning; and (3) nonverbal communication, in which you observe a person and infer meaning. Each has its own advantages, disadvantages, and even pitfalls. Verbal Communication Verbal communications in business take place over the phone or in person. The medium of the Message is oral. Let’s return to our printer cartridge example. This time, the Message is being conveyed from the Sender (the Manager) to the Receiver (an employee named Bill) by telephone.

Inspired by an email I just received from a reader concerning her view that ear tones correlate with monitoring, I realized this write up could use a few more anecdotes that clearly show this aspect of ear tones in action, since I agree with her on this. ( there are multiple things going on with ear tones, monitoring being only one of several.) This article has been up for years, I realize….but….better late than never, I guess to add more anecdotes. Updated August 28, 2012. Couple of minor changes/edits/clean ups throughout the article…Updated February 18, 2011. Theory about the possible common denominator that the wide variety of ear tones might share, and thus, a tentative explanation about how they happen. Added on towards end of write up…..“Ear tones” are intermittent short lived tones, occurring in either ear, which many people seem to experience. Often times they are preluded by a pronounced muting effect, where the sound in the room seems to abruptly shut out as the tone then fades in. So it’s a tone that fades in, goes on for a bit, then fades back out."

"text": "THE HISTORY OF MUSICThe Middle Ages 450-1450Characteristics of Music Music comes from the Ancient Greek muses, who were the nine goddesses of art and science. Music actually began around 500 B. C. when Pythagoras experimented with acoustics and how math related to tones formed from plucking strings. The main form of music during the Middle Ages was the Gregorian chant, named for Pope Gregory I. This music was used in the Catholic Churches to enhance the services. It consisted of a sacred Latin text sung by monks without instrumentation. The chant is sung in a monophonic texture, which means there is only one line of music. It has a free-flowing rhythm with little or no set beat. The chants were originally all passed through oral tradition, but the chants became so numerous that the monks began to notate them. Music in Society Towards the end of the Middle Ages, about the 12 thand 13 thcenturies, music began to move outside of the church. French nobles called troubadours and trouveres were among the first to have written secular songs. Music of this time was contained among the nobility, with court minstrels performing for them."

"text": "Introduction For many students, the creation of a piece of writing is a mysterious process. It is a laborious, academic exercise, required by teachers and limited to the classroom. They do not see it as a way of ordering the mind, explaining their thoughts and feelings, or achieving a personal voice. One of the problems for these students is that they have no conscious plan that will enable them to begin the process and then to organize and develop their ideas. Without a strategy, particularly if they are under time constraints, they simply begin to write and the quality of their compositions is often erratic. Students need to recognize that any good composition, whether written, spoken, or drawn, is carefully planned. This composition has integral parts that work together in a complex and subtle arrangement to produce meaning. Originally conceived as a method for dissecting the work of professional writers, SOAPSTone provides a concrete strategy to help students identify and use these central components as a basis for their own writing. SOAPSTone (Speaker, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, Subject, Tone) is an acronym for a series of questions that students must first ask themselves, and then answer, as they begin to plan their compositions.

Klaus Mikaelson ( Joseph Morgan ), the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to New Orleans, the city his family helped build, but was then exiled from. Drawn back by a mysterious plot that is brewing in the French Quarter, Elijah ( Daniel Gillies) follows his brother and learns that the rebellious werewolf Hayley ( Phoebe Tonkin ), a former one night stand of Klaus’, has also come to the Quarter, searching for clues to her family history while hiding the unbelievable news that she is carrying his unborn child, which would greatly displease his vampire protégé Marcel ( Charles Michael Davis ), who now has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, executive producer Julie Plec talked about how much fun it’s been to get to expand The Originals in this way, just how much the ideas for the story evolved as they developed it, when the whole pregnancy storyline came into play, what this all means for Hayley, how different the tone of this show will be from The Vampire Diaries, the storylines that they’ll explore this season, and how they came up with the idea to retell the story from their backdoor pilot from Elijah’s point of view for the season premiere. Check out what she had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers . Collider: It’s so interesting how you’ve taken these characters from being the antagonists to being the protagonists. How much fun has it been to get to open them up and expand them, in this way? JULIE PLEC: We had such a burden. It was a high-class problem burden, but it was still a burden on The Vampire Diaries, in which we had this group of characters that we loved writing for so much, and who had so much available story to tell. Just talking for five minutes, you could think of the most amazing flashbacks, or the history of them."

Pitch is the musical term for how high or low a note sounds. In physics, pitch is the same thing as frequency. In other words, a musical tone is a sound whose sound waves are a specific length. The frequency of each note is agreed upon internationally, according to the traditions of classical music. These standard frequencies have shifted slightly over time. In the baroch era, notes were probably just a little bit higher than they are now. Also it is the type of style of music you are playing."

S. Lewis asking for advice on how to be a writer, Lewis responded, “Decide what you want to say, and then say it as clearly as possible.” Here Lewis was talking about a little thing called theme. A theme is the overall message or argument that a film is trying to make. Movies (and all other works of art) are about something. Even bad movies are about something. Even Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is about something. It has a theme, even if it doesn’t want to. Screenwriter Paul Schrader says, “When you write, you have to know in some way what you are about to do… There has to be some sense of why you are doing this."

"text": "Subscribe to RSS Feed Tone, Mood, & Style—The Feel of Fiction April 19, 2013 by Fiction Editor Beth Hill last modified April 20, 2013Each piece of fiction, each section of text, has a particular feel. The feel of a story or scene is primarily achieved through three elements—tone, mood, and style. And while you may hear the words used almost interchangeably, they are different. They are achieved differently and they create different effects. We’ll take a look at all three. Tone Tone in fiction is the attitude of the narrator or viewpoint character toward story events and other characters. In a story with first-person POV, tone can also be the narrator’s attitude toward the reader. In non-fiction, tone is the writer’s attitude toward subject matter and reader. So the writer might come across as a know-it-all or a blowhard or as humble or solicitous. We’re all familiar with a mother’s words to her mouthy son— Don’t you take that tone with me, young man."

In general, a toner is meant to add warm/cool tones back to your hair. For instance, a gold toner would give you more of a golden blonde, while a violet based toner would give you more of a platinum blonde (no brass). If you use a demi-permanent color as a toner, it does not have the ability to lift or lighten. These are better toners, since they won't alter your natural, unlightened hair. Demi's can only give you a warmer or cooler effect or take you darker. Demi permanent colors at Sally Beauty would include Clairol Radiance, Clairol Complements Demi, Clairol Second Nature, Wella Color Charm Demi."

What are these strange chemical colors that only seem to work on blonde hair? Answer: they are the secret ingredient which turns blonde from basic to bombshell by altering the undertone. But that’s not all you can do with these shade-altering formulas. In part 3 of our series, NYC-based colorist Roxie Darling explains how to incorporate toners into your hair color routine. What is a toner and how is it different from permanent dye?“A toner, also called a gloss, is a demi-permanent color. This means it has a small amount of ammonia in it which actually goes in and changes the chemical pigment makeup of the hair shaft,” Roxie explains, noting that toners are different than a semi permanent hair color such as Manic Panic, which lays on top of the hair to alter the shade. A toner is typically used to alter the brassy tones in hair, post bleach. The formula grabs on to shades of orange and yellow and neutralizes them into a different shade of blonde, silver, or even pastel. “ Toners can mean the difference between a flattering dye job and a non-flattering one."

It just takes a little more caution than bleaching virgin hair. I recently bleached my hair from bright red to very light blonde, and it turned out just fine. It kinda depends on what colour your hair was dyed (for example black and dark browns are harder to get out,) but here’s a general overview: I went to Sally Beauty Supply and purchased Prismlites Blue toned Bleach, 30 volume developer (creme, not liquid [personal preference]) and a shiny new tint brush. ( But I’m no professional. Use caution and commonsense…I ain’t liable for your hair. ) Since I was doing more of a balayage-highlighting technique, I didn’t get within a couple inches of my roots, so that was one less thing to worry about. I sectioned my hair carefully, and as soon as I began applying the bleach I worked quickly to pull it through evenly (in the places i wanted). I started timing immediately and actually stopped halfway through bleaching to rinse the bottom section, so it wouldn’t overprocess. Once your hair is a pale yellow at the lightest, (mine had a teeny bit of orange in places,) you MUST wash the bleach out or face all the hair catastrophes I’m sure you’ve heard about."

Unless the hair is damaged by the bleaching process, you should be able to use a deposit-only color on the hair immediately following the bleaching. This is commonly done in a two-process color service, when the hair is to be taken from a darker color to one that is significantly lighter - the hair is lightened then a color toner is added to create the desired color. If the hair does appear too dry or damaged after bleaching, you may need to perform a deep conditioning service on the hair to restore some moisture and protect the hair for the color application. Be careful to use only 10-volume developer or weaker in the color mix, as you should not need any additional lift to the color and want to make sure the color mix is as gentle as possible on the hair.

"text": "In order to achieve highlights and color changes in your hair, a chemical process is necessary. The methods used may include bleach, color or a combination of both. But too much of either can have disastrous consequences. Over-processed hair can become damaged, causing the hair to look extremely dry and coarse. Regular trimming of the ends can help reduce the look of damage, but hair may still show signs of stress. Sometimes hair can become so porous that any attempts to color it within the family of brown hair colors will cause your hair to look black. This is because the hair has become so damaged that it soaks up the darker hair colors, including their base color, very rapidly. Upon close examination, you will notice that the healthier root area has absorbed the color as expected, but the ends will have taken on an uneven, unnatural look. In most cases, your hair will also be much darker than what you had intended. Most people will try to use a bleaching process to correct the problem, but this is one of the worst things that you can do."

"text": "Hair Toner Tips and Techniques Professional advice on using hair toner effectively to rid the hair of unwanted hues. You’ve probably heard the expression ‘bleach and tone’. Toning hair is most often done to neutralize brassy (yellow or yellow/orange) pigments. But not all hair toner processes are reserved for going blonde. Anytime you add another color to tone out unwanted pigments, the process can be considered toning. Though it’s most often done after lightening hair with bleach. Bleaching hair leaves it in a raw-pigment state, unlike hair color which deposits artificial pigments onto the hair after lifting. Bleach only does the lifting part of the coloring process, so you need to add back pigments to create a ‘natural’ look. The same goes for a washed out color or a process that has grabbed too much blue or grey pigment. Toning will add back what is needed to correct the color balance."

"text": "\"James Opie, Owner of Sana Hair Collection Answered Aug 14, 2016 · Author has 163 answers and 770.4k answer views In recent years, the hairdressing industry has seen a marked increase in the number of clients who want to go blonde but don't want to use bleach. For a long time, there was simply no way to cater to these clients and you couldn't dye dark hair blonde without the use of bleach. That changed with the advent of high lift hair color, and now it's possible to dye your hair blonde without the bleach powder. Or at least, in certain circumstances. What is high lift dye? Many people are afraid of bleach because of the horror stories they've heard about melting hair or scalp burns. This is a problem perpetuated through the use of bleach by people who don't know what they're doing and haven't taken the time to learn about the product before they go ahead and bleach their hair. Combine a lack of direction, making the bleach too strong, and using bleach on hair that is already highly damaged and you end up with a widespread fear of bleach. Bleach is not the enemy and is actually a highly useful and necessary product in all salons, but more and more people are being lead to believe it is too harmful to use. As such, hair dye manufacturers discovered a new market to penetrate and high lift dye was born to cater to those who refuse to bleach their hair."

"text": "\"Hair Toner & Color Q: I studied cosmetology 5 yrs ago and I continue to do hair outside of my home with family and friends and my cup of tea is cutting. Now a days everyone wants highlights in their hair and I have a hard time just keeping them even throughout the strands. When I get it done in the salon, I notice that what happens is, the stylist will lift my color (being that I have almost naturally black hair) and then she'll wash out the bleach or whatever she uses to lift, and then puts in the color while my hair is still wet. My question is: Is she using a \"\"toner\"\", and if so, what’s the difference between a toner and just color? Now the 2nd part of my question, usually when I am going to highlight someone's hair, I have them pick up the color they want for themselves because I don't want to be responsible for ever putting a color in their hair they did not want, so should I be telling them when they pick out a color or if its a toner that it should read \"\"deposit only\"\"? ( I want to add that I am a hispanic and the majority of hair I do is on hispanic woman with very dark hair.) Thanks in advance for your expertise in this matter. Have a great day. A: What the stylist is doing when you go to the salon for highlights is called a ‘two-process color’. When you are dealing with very dark shades of hair – especially among individuals of Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern and African descent – it is necessary to pre-lighten the hair in order to get a good color result."

Toothed whales ( Odontocetes)The name ‘toothed whales’ can be a little misleading, because dolphins and porpoises also belong to this group. It does not only describe the big creatures that come to your mind when you think of whales, but also their smaller relatives. The most important trait of toothed whales is what gives them their name: they have teeth. This is the easiest difference to spot between baleen and toothed whales. In almost all toothed whale species, their teeth are cone-shaped and not used for chewing (the exception are Amazon River dolphins; they have two different types of teeth in their mouths). They hunt and catch one prey animal at a time, such as fish, squid, seals, sea lions and even birds. Their prey is then swallowed whole, if it is not too big, or bitten into pieces small enough to swallow. Some toothed whales barely have any teeth because they feed only on squid, which they simply suck into their mouths."

Although whales spend all their time in the oceans, they are mammals just like us. This means that they are warm blooded, give birth to live young, nurse their young, have traces of hair or fur, and must come to the surface to breathe air through their lungs. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of whales lived on land. Scientists believe these land ancestors looked like small dogs, but were probably more closely related to hippos and went into the ocean about 60 million years ago. Over time, these ancestors adapted to survive solely in the ocean environment. Their front legs turned into paddle-shaped flippers, they lost their back legs, their tails grew larger and widened to form flukes, and they developed a thick layer of fat, called blubber, to keep warm in the ocean. Also, their skulls elongated and the nostrils shifted to the top of their heads (blowholes) to aid in breathing at the ocean's surface. They developed a series of adaptations related to diving, which include the ability to store more oxygen in their blood and muscles and having more blood volume relative to their body size than land mammals.

The blue whale is the biggest animal on earth and it belongs to the baleen whale suborder. Blue whales can grow up to 90 feet. The smallest baleen whale is the pygmy right whale which can grow up to 21 feet. They have a filtering system composed of thousands of baleen plates.

Most dolphins are opportunistic feeders, which means they eat the fish and other animals sharing their homes. All dolphins eat fish and those living in deep oceans also eat squid and jellyfish. Bottlenose dolphins are found worldwide in temperate and tropical seas and the types of fish they eat, is dependent on where they live and what time of year it is. Bottlenose dolphins living in the Moray Firth, Scotland, favour salmon when it is available in the spring and summer months. In the winter, salmon is scarce, and so they eat herring and mackerel. Bottlenose dolphins living elsewhere eat their favoured local fish which can be mullet, mackerel, catfish and more tropical species of fish.

"text": "Killer Whale Facts The killer whale (scientifically known as orcinus orca) is a large oceanic marine mammal that is part of the toothed whale (odontoceti) suborder. The toothed whale suborder is comprised exclusively of whales, dolphins and porpoises that are born with teeth instead of baleen plates. While the killer whale carries the name “whale” as part of its description this marine mammal is actually considered a dolphin. In addition to being known as the killer whale these marine mammals may also be referred to as the Blackfish or the Orca. Killer whales are one of the most well-recognized animals in the world and are easily spotted by their large size and distinct black and white color pattern. In fact the killer whale is the largest animal in the dolphin family and is one of the only known cetaceans to attack sharks, whales and other large marine animals, which helps explain why they are so well known and popular. These dolphins are extremely intelligent animals that are well-organized and follow highly complex social structures within their pods, which often consists of large groups of family members that can span several generations. In fact the social structure of killer whales is considered one of the most stable social structures of any animal species and is sometimes compared to the cultures of humans and elephants. Having no known predators the killer whale is known as an apex or alpha predator, which means it is able to hunt freely without fear of being attacked by another marine animal. In other words when it comes to marine mammals the killer whale is at the top of the food chain."

They can cruise slowly for long periods of time. Killer whales are agile and maneuverable in the water. When swimming near the surface, a killer whale usually stays below water for 30 seconds or less. Swimming energetics. Blubber smooths the contour of a killer whale and contributes to its characteristic fusiform shape, which is quite energy efficient for swimming. Compared to other body shapes, this body shape creates less drag (the opposing force an object generates as it travels through water).

Explaining exactly how much a whale weighs is quite a difficult question to answer because there are currently about 80 – 90 different species of cetacea and each species is a different size and weight. First of all the cetacean species is divided into two groups known as the toothed whale and baleen whale suborders. The large or great/true whales belong to the baleen whale suborder and possess baleen plates and bristles while those that are smaller and possess teeth are part of the toothed whale suborder. All species of dolphin and porpoise also belong to the toothed whale suborder. While we don’t have figures on every animal in the cetacean family luckily there are a few facts that can help clarify this topic, and at the end of the article we’ll share some stats regarding the weights of some of the most popular whale species on the planet. To give you a better comparison first we’ll talk about the smallest and lightest of the whale species, the dwarf sperm whale. The dwarf sperm whale gets its name from its small size and its spermaceti organ, which is located in its head and is believed to help it stabilize in the water, and yes this whale does belong to the sperm whale family which also consists of the sperm whale (the largest marine mammal in the toothed whale suborder). This whale on average grows to be around 9 ft. long and when fully matured will weigh between 400 – 600 pounds."

"text": "What Do Whales Eat? When it comes to survival few things are as important as shelter, rest and food. For marine mammals such as whales food is not only extremely important for their survival it’s also important for maintaining balance in the oceans ecosystem. In order for whales to capture their food these marine mammals search and hunt for their prey using a variety of techniques in order to locate, isolate and immobilize their prey for easy consumption. Because there are around 90 different animals within the cetacean family it is important to understand that not all species of whale hunt or attack their prey in the same way. Depending on the whales size, social structure, environment, species and type (baleen or toothed) their diets can change drastically from small aquatic life forms such as fish, shrimp, larvae, plankton, crabs, krill and squid to large marine mammals (which are generally consumed by killer whale) such as sea lions, walruses, seals, sharks, seabirds and even large whales. One of the most useful abilities whales use when hunting for food is known as echolocation. Echolocation is a trait that is found in all species of toothed whale. Echolocation works by emitting a series of clicking and busing noises and then listening to the echos that bounce off of objects in the area (such as fish or other aquatic life forms). The amount of time it takes the echo to return to the whale can provide these marine mammals with vital information such as how far the object is, how dense it is, whether it is hard or soft, and whether or not the object is moving or still."

Let us learn about the types of whales and their different species. Whales are mammals (not fish) and are found in all the oceans of the world. They are most numerous in the Arctic region and Antarctica as they prefer cooler and deeper waters. They are also spotted along the eastern coast of the U. S. There have also been rare sightings in warm waters in Hawaii, Bahamas and The Gulf of Mexico. Their seasonal movement is mostly influenced by the migration of fish, other aquatic preys, and pack ice. Types of Whales Whales are classified under the order Cetacea, and there are about 84 species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises in this order. Cetacea is further divided into two suborders: Odontocetes (toothed whale) and Mysticetes (baleen whales).

Credit: ©AMNH/D. Finnin One of the longest dinosaurs, Diplodocus had a unique body construction, with two rows of bones on the underside of its tail to provide extra support and greater mobility. Because of Diplodocus' unusual skeleton, paleontologist Othniel C. Marsh coined its name in 1878, deriving it from the Greek words \"\"diplos,\"\" meaning \"\"double,\"\" and \"\"dokos\"\" meaning \"\"beam. \"\" One of the best-known sauropods (long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs), this genus of dinosaur lived during the late Jurassic Period, about 155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago, and primarily roamed western North America. Four species are recognized: D. longus , D. carnegii , D. hayi and D. hallorum (previously known as Seismosaurus ). Diplodocus is the longest dinosaur known from a near-complete skeleton — that is, other dinosaurs, such as the sauropod Supersaurus, may be longer, but those length estimates are based on fairly incomplete skeletons. The best-known Diplodocus species, D. carnegii, of which there's a near-complete skeleton, was about 90 feet (27.4 meters) long. The largest species, D. hallorum, was about 108 feet (33 m) long, according to a 2006 report in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History Bulletins. The majority of Diplodocus' length was taken up by its neck and tail. For instance, the neck alone of D. carnegii was at least 21 feet (6.5 meters) long, according to a 2011 study in the Journal of Zoology, and its tail was even longer."

Both were dragged out of the Ross Sea, off the freezing coast of Antarctica. Colossal squid, with their eight arms and two tentacles, both covered in fearsome rotating hooks, are the largest tentacled creatures in the ocean as measured by weight. The first one ever found, in 2007, weighed in at almost 1,100 pounds. Giant squid are frequently cited as being longer — an 1887 scientific paper claimed they measured one at 55 feet long — but it's unclear if those measurements are accurate. And with so few colossal specimens ever examined and the variations and changes in body size that occur after death, researchers say they would need to examine many more colossal squid to really understand how large they can grow. View As: One Page Slides Fishermen hauled the first intact colossal squid into the San Aspiring fishing boat on Feb. 22, 2007, off the coast of Antarctica.

Wichita Eagle via Getty Images A sian carp were never supposed to live in North American waterways. Like many other invasive species, they were introduced by humans in an attempt to address another problem, namely to remove algae from catfish farms and wastewater treatment ponds in the 1970s. But sometime in the next two decades, the fish escaped their enclosures — most likely due to several large floods in the ‘90s — and began to spread. Over the past 15 years, populations have exploded, as the carp outcompete native fish populations and quickly reproduce through the tributaries of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers while moving north to the Great Lakes. And they’ve become a huge problem. The name “Asian carp” is actually an umbrella title for four different species: bighead carp, black carp, grass carp and silver carp. Some of the larger species can weigh up to 100 pounds and have an uncanny ability to jump out of the water. Females can produce upwards of 2 million eggs, and some of the fish can live for 20 years. The Obama administration has spent more than $200 million trying to control their spread, including building a series of electrified barriers to try to deter the fish from swimming closer to the Great Lakes."

(Shark Red List Authority)Justification: The porbeagle is a wide-ranging, coastal and oceanic shark, but with apparently little exchange between adjacent populations. Low reproductive capacity and high commercial value (in target and incidental fisheries) of mature and immature age classes makes this species highly vulnerable to over-exploitation and population depletion. This depletion, despite variations in availability of data and degree of depletion between the northern and southern hemispheres, is considered to meet Vulnerable criteria globally. The eastern and western North Atlantic populations have both been seriously over-exploited by directed longline fisheries. Collapse of the Northeast Atlantic population led to intensive target fishing in the well-documented Northwest Atlantic fishery in the 1960s, with most of the virgin biomass removed in just six years. Renewed target fishing in the 1990s led to a further population decline to ~11 to 17% of virgin biomass within the three generation period for this species. Recently improved management in the Northwest Atlantic should now help stocks to recover, however the Northeast Atlantic population has been subject to unrestricted fishing pressure ever since its earlier crash. Data are lacking, but stock depletion is considered to be much greater than in the Northwest Atlantic. Longline tuna and swordfish fleets in the southern hemisphere take a significant partially-utilised bycatch. Only limited trend data are available, including over 90% declines in landings by the Uruguayan longline fleet in the southwest Atlantic."

Small amounts of fish are also caught by trawl, though increasingly this method is used only for scientific surveying. Patagonian Toothfish are thought to live up to 50 years and can grow as large as 2m and over 100kg, though commonly caught at around 4-7kg. Legal fishing is strictly controlled, but illegal fishing does occur in international waters. Hard work by Australian customs vessels has eradicated illegal fishing in Australian waters., with no illegal fishing recorded since 2005. The Patagonian Toothfish fishery in Australia suffered a similar fate to global stocks when first discovered, being dramatically overfished by illegal operators. However, a collaborative effort between the fishing industry and government fishery agencies in recent have seen a dramatic turn around, with Patagonian Toothfish fisheries now considered well-managed. The majority of the fish caught by Australian boats is sold overseas to Chinese and US markets.

Chile stretches along the length of the western coastline of South America, occupying nearly 4,000 miles and encompassing a wealth of gorgeous landscapes.

Shellfish such as loco (abalone), erizo (sea urchin) and piure (an unusual red invertebrate) join more widely known fish, including sardines, salmon, congrio (conger eel) and atún (yellowfin tuna). Many restaurants serve these dishes simply grilled, fried or roasted. Traditional seafood recipes include paila marina (shellfish stew), ceviche and caldillo (fish stew).

"text": "What do Killer Whales Eat? The catch of the day!Killer whales are carnivore marine mammals, so their diet is full of meat gotten by hunting several species in their habitat. Since there are several ecotypes of killer whales, their eating habits are closely linked to the geographical area where they are located and with their population. Thus, the orcas in a specific region can specialize in hunting and consumption of a particular prey. Orcas feed on a wide variety of prey, from small schooling fish to large baleen whales. These cetaceans are powerful predators, which are not intimidated by large, or bulky animals, and are known to be able to attack even sharks. In general, killer whales feed on a large variety of fish, cephalopods and marine mammals. The estimated number of species consumed worldwide by orcas is around 140. They usually prey on squids, octopus, seals, sea lions, sea otters, rays, dolphins, sharks, baleen whales and of course, bony fishes. Occasionally, turtles and seabirds, including penguins are added to their diet."

It overlooks the ocean to the south of Australia where massive amounts of pirate fishing is driving the long-lived toothfish towards commercial extinction.zoom Greenpeace climbers scale the Totem Pole in Tasmania, Australia to highlight attention to the pirate fishing trade during this week's CITES meeting. It's a 65 meter natural dolerite formation called the Totem Pole. And today two Greenpeace climbers braved it to send a message: \"\"Pirate fishing trades away ocean life!\"\". The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is the regional body responsible for toothfish conservation. But it doesn't regulate fishing outside waters of its member states, and it is having a hard time stopping \"\"pirates\"\" who fly flags of convenience and fish illegally anywhere they can get away with it. Big money can be made catching toothfish, which, frankly, is just too tasty for its own good. In the past two and a half years vessels from CCAMLR members Russia, Uruguay and the republic of Korea have stolen 13,799 tonnes of toothfish from CCAMLR waters (while claiming that they caught their fish elsewhere). Non-member the Seychelles has taken 7,433 tonnes. The total value of the pirate catch by vessels from these countries during that time is estimated at $US200 million wholesale."

Overfishing can occur in water bodies of any sizes, such as ponds, rivers, lakes or oceans, and can result in resource depletion, reduced biological growth rates and low biomass levels. Sustained overfishing can lead to critical depensation, where the fish population is no longer able to sustain itself. Some forms of overfishing, for example the overfishing of sharks, has led to the upset of entire marine ecosystems. [ 1]The ability of a fishery to recover from overfishing depends on whether the ecosystem 's conditions are suitable for the recovery. Dramatic changes in species composition can result in an ecosystem shift, where other equilibrium energy flows involve species compositions different from those that had been present before the depletion of the original fish stock. For example, once trout have been overfished, carp might take over in a way that makes it impossible for the trout to re-establish a breeding population.

Figures in the article also include non-slaughter deaths and deaths abroad for imported meat. According to recently published data from the U. S.

Over a lifetime, this amounts to 15,000 animals per meat eater. After a three year decline, the number of animals eaten by Americans rose slightly from 2008 to 2009, as a decrease in chickens and fish killed was accompanied by an increase in shellfish killed. Land animals: The number of land animals eaten in the U. S. continued to decrease. The average meat-eater in 2009 killed 1.3 fewer land animals than in 2008 (a 4% drop), and almost 3 fewer than in 2006 (a 10% drop). That amounts to more than 300 million fewer land animals killed to feed Americans than in 2008, and more than 600 million fewer than in 2006.

"text": "Chilean sea bass, also called Patagonian toothfish, is a fish species that became very popular for human consumption in the 1990s. It is a deep water species, and technically not a member of the bass family at all. This fish is caught in the cold, deep waters off the coast of Antarctica, and earned the name Chilean sea bass because Chile was the first country to bring it to the popular market and “sea bass” was deemed more commercially viable than “toothfish. ”At the turn of the 21st century, conservationists and marine fisheries activists alerted consumers to the rapidly dwindling numbers of Chilean sea bass in the Atlantic, warning that continued consumption of the fish could result in extinction for the species. As a result, many well regarded chefs removed it from their menus and sought out alternative sources for the rich, white-meat fish. When allowed to mature on their own, the fish can reach 200 pounds (90 kilograms) in weight, and live for up to 50 years. The Chilean sea bass is not an extraordinarily attractive fish, with a distinctly prehistoric appearance. It has large eyes, a thrusting jaw, and a muddy skin color. Unfortunately for the fish, the athletic deep sea lifestyle it lives results in a delicious white meat that has minimal oils and a firm texture, standing up well to grilling, baking, saute, and other cooking applications. As a result, this fish quickly became trendy in the 1990s, and the population began to decline shortly thereafter."

Ambush predators are often camouflaged, and may be solitary animals. This mode of predation may be less risky for the predator because lying-in-wait reduces exposure to its own predators. So long as the active predator cannot move faster than its prey, it has little advantage over the ambush predator; however, if the active predator's velocity increases, its advantage increases sharply. [ 2]Ambush predators use many intermediate strategies. For example, when a pursuit predator is faster than its prey over a short distance, but not in a long chase, then either stalking or ambushing becomes necessary as part of the strategy. ["

In another step, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a plan this month to improve how seafood is tracked from catch to market, imposing new reporting requirements on American importers. Two of the world’s largest trade unions filed a complaint last week with the United Nations’ labor agency about seafood from Thailand produced by so-called sea slaves, and the Thai government said it was installing satellite tracking devices on more fishing ships and requiring more reporting as workers get on or off the vessels. “Step by step, I do really think we’re making progress, and there is a growing awareness of how much we need to get more control over the world’s oceans and the range of crime that happens out there,” Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview on Monday. He added that he hoped to build on the momentum in the fall during a global meeting, called Our Oceans, that he will host in Washington. The amendment that the president has said he will sign this week would close a loophole in the Tariff Act of 1930, which bars products made by convict, forced or indentured labor."

"text": "Debunking the Chilean Seabass Myth Tweetby Liz Caskey on March 24, 2006As of late when dining out in restaurants in and around Chile, I have come to notice (and am alarmed) that most menus do a horrendous translation job when it comes to accurately defining what Chilean Seabass is in English. For those readers traveling in Chile, please beware of the following misnomer to avoid major food disappointments and gross overcharging when your plate (or bill) arrives. CORVINA: This indeed is a bass, but not a Chilean seabass. Try a regular old sea bass that swims around in most of the world’s oceans. This is lovely, firm, white fish that works in ceviche, roasted, seared with just about everything. However, most restaurants translate this as Chilean Sea Bass (biggest culprits are those in Santiago restaurants frequented by foreigners or on the coast). Don’t be fooled; the only reason this bass is Chilean is because it swims in national waters. For reference purposes, average price per kilo for fillet: 5,000-6,000 pesos (US$ 10-12)MERO: The real deal, or the Chilean seabass we know as imported. Abroad, it can rake in US$40 per pound or even in Chile up to US$20 per pound as it is virtually all exported and few people in the local market will pay the outrageous prices it can garner abroad. Mero is actually Patagonian toothfish, a slimy, black, long fish with firm but oily meat (similar to Salmon but no Omegas here)."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science What Does a Tornado Sound Like? Share Flipboard Email Printjohn finney photography / Moment / Getty Imagesby Rachelle Oblack Updated November 29, 2017Tornado survivors and witnesses often liken the sound of a tornado to that of a freight train—that is, the noise and vibrations of its wheels against the railroad track and ground. One way to distinguish this sound from ordinary thunderstorm sounds is to notice a loud continuous roar or rumble, that, unlike thunder, doesn't fade in a few seconds' time. Tornado Sounds Include Rumbles, Roars, and Whirs While the most common tornado sound is a continuous rumble or roar, a tornado can also make other sounds. What sound you hear depends on a number of things, including the tornado's size, strength, what it is hitting, and how close it is to you. In addition to a constant rumble or low roar, tornadoes can also sound like: A waterfall or whooshing of air A nearby jet engine A deafening roar (When a tornado is tearing through a big city or a heavily populated area, it can produce lots of loud noises simultaneously, making it impossible to hear a particular sound because the sound is so deafeningly loud. ) Why Tornadoes Are So Loud No matter what sound is heard, most survivors agree on one thing: the loudness. But, why are tornadoes so noisy? For one, a tornado vortex is made up of air that's rotating very rapidly. Think of how loud wind sounds when driving down the highway with your car window down, except multiply that by several hundred times."

I have no problems with these terms when applied in the US (or anywhere in the Northern hemisphere for that matter). I do get confused about what term should be used in Australia (Southern hemisphere). Take this sounding for example-http://soundings.bsch.au.com/skew-t.html?source=wyoming&lat=-35.1333&lon=147.3667&gribdate=&month=01&day=20&year=2005&hour=00&window=on&hodo=on Do the winds veer or back with height? Take the weatherzone definition- \"\"Veering winds - Winds which shift in a clockwise direction with time at a given location (e.g., from southerly to westerly), or which change direction in a clockwise sense with height (e.g., southeasterly at the surface turning to southwesterly aloft). The latter example is a form of directional shear which is important for tornado formation. Compare with backing winds. \"\" This obviously just taken straight from a Northern hemisphere definition (probably US). \"\" Southeasterly at the surface turning to southwesterly aloft......important for tornado formation.\"\" !!!"

Michelle Melamed, a 24-year-old student at Emory University, remembers that night vividly. The way she sees it, a miracle of timing saved her brother’s life. “ At about 10 o’clock at night, the dogs started going crazy and we noticed the sky was pale pink and it was very windy,” she said. Lightning covered the sky, and no one was able to sleep, she added. Melamed’s older brother Eli got out of bed to go downstairs, and moments later a giant tree fell through the roof and across his bed.

The main types include the hailstorm, ice storm, rainstorm, snowstorm, thunderstorm, windstorm, cyclone, hurricane, and tornado. The first six types refer to violent winds accompanied by another feature. A hailstorm is weather system accompanied by a fall of hailstones, ice pellets that are larger than 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) in diameter. Even though ice is involved in both, an ice storm is different. Precipitation in the form of snow or rain freezes on contact with whatever it lands on, forming a coating of ice on the surface. A rainstorm is not just any fall of rain, but strong system characterized by strong winds and heavy rain. A snowstorm is windy weather during which there is a heavy snowfall. A blizzard is a particularly violent type of snowstorm, with wind speeds at or above 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) and visibility less than 0.25 miles (400 meters) for three hours.

"text": "\"Peak of Tornado Season Shifting Earlier in Tornado Alley By Andrea Thompson Published: September 24th, 2014Living in Missouri as a kid, John Long grew up with tornadoes. He went through the same tornado drills that all school children from tornado-prone parts of the country know well: Filing into school hallways and crouching against walls with a textbook or hands covering the head. Tornadoes were a part of life. Tornado damage in Branson, Mo., caused by the EF2 twister that struck the area on Feb. 29, 2012, the so-called Leap Day tornado outbreak. The tornado inspired remote sensing researcher John Long to look at how the peak in tornado activity has shifted in recent decades. Click image to enlarge. Credit: Ann Keyes/Missouri National Guard But growing up, Long said, he and his schoolmates knew that they weren’t likely to see a tornado while classes were still in session. June, after schools had let out for the summer, was when tornadoes came to his area of western Missouri. Long, who hasn’t lived in the area in nearly three decades, hadn’t thought much about tornadoes or school drills or finding cover. That is until an EF2 twister hit the city of Branson, Mo., during the Leap Day outbreak of Feb. 28-29, 2012, much earlier than Long recalled from his childhood."

( Jerry Jackson/Baltimore Sun video)Talia Richman, Phil Davis and Scott Dance Contact Reporters The Baltimore Sun A tornado with 125 mph wind gusts tore a path of damage through the Stevensville area of Kent Island overnight. Homes were destroyed, large trees toppled and metal electricity poles twisted in the Bay City neighborhood, on the western shore of the island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. One injury was reported, Queen Anne’s County officials said. The National Weather Service said the twister was rated an EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, making it one of the most destructive tornadoes to hit the state in years. “It felt like a rock concert with how loud it was,” said Don Testerman, 27, whose family’s home was shoved off its foundation and deemed unsafe to enter Monday morning. The damage came as a line of severe storms brought heavy rain and strong winds across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New Jersey. Flash flooding was reported across Central Maryland, but the most significant damage in the state was reported on Kent Island. A tornado caused extensive damage on Kent Island overnight Sunday, July 23, 2017. Queen Anne’s officials asked residents to shelter in place Monday morning as crews assessed damage and dealt with downed wires."

At first, they were not much to worry about, but as time went by with no rain, the situation got worse by the day. The only trees we had were those along the creeks and streams. That meant that the wind had great opportunity to sweep across the land moving the fine dry soil along with it. The soil acted as sandpaper and the action of the wind kept all vegetation from growing. The grasses, which would usually get brown in the dry season and became green when the rains came again, couldn't withstand the blowing dirt. Soon the wind would blow in great long swipes. It would blow one direction one day and then change direction the next. No vegetation could withstand such a situation. The soil from the fields devoid of vegetation then had a \"\"field day.\"\""

"text": "The responsibilities of a town clerk can vary, depending on where she holds the office. Town clerks are among the senior staff of a town and usually have duties including maintenance of vital records, management of elections, and issuance of public notices. Some are elected officials while others are appointed to the position by city officials. Residents of the town can contact the town clerk for assistance with a variety of activities, from locating birth certificates to getting licenses for parades. In many towns, the town clerk keeps records on births, deaths, and marriages. These events are registered at the clerk's office, and he can provide copies upon request. The clerk also issues marriage licenses and may handle licenses for other activities, including dog licenses, hunting licenses, and so forth. As part of the work, the clerk needs to inspect documents presented for the purpose of verifying identity and can ask the resident some questions to make sure the license is being issued appropriately. In the event of questions about a license, the clerk has a copy on file. Ad Town clerks may also manage elections."

Answer: You will be able to search for a property by street address, section, block & lot (SBL) number, or owner name. You may also use the online mapping function to locate a property. Details about these options are below. Address search - The most common problem visitors encounter is they do not enter the property address as it appears in the Assessor's database. This is often easy to correct. The most important thing to remember about entering an address is to keep the prefixes and suffixes abbreviated."

History of the Municipal Clerk Early Beginnings The Municipal Clerk is the oldest of public servants in local government, along with the tax collector. The profession traces back before Biblical times. For example, the modern Hebrew translation of Town Clerk is “Mazkir Ha’ir” which literally translated, means city or town “Reminder”. The early keepers of archives were often called “Remembrancers”, and before writing came into use, their memory served as the public record. Ancient Greece had a city secretary who read official documents publicly. At the opening of a meeting, one of his first duties was to decree a curse upon anyone who should seek to deceive the people. St. Paul and his followers during his missionary work in Persia (now Western Turkey) owed their safety to the action of a town clerk."

The Haynesville formation is a layer of sedimentary rock more than 10,000 feet below the surface of the Earth in the area of northwestern Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas and eastern Texas, with some of the formation stretching well across the northern central portion of the Louisiana. Several energy companies have begun work in the area to explore the shale formation and drill for natural gas based on findings indicating a potentially large supply of gas trapped within some portions of the shale. The formation is of a type once considered too costly to explore, but rising energy costs and newer technology and processes have changed that, leading to a rush of activity as energy exploration companies have begun to lease property in north Louisiana in preparation for possible drilling and production. In light of that, the value landowners are able to get for selling leases has risen sharply. The most active areas have been Caddo, Bienville, Bossier, De Soto, Red River and Webster Parishes of Louisiana plus adjacent areas in southwest Arkansas and east Texas. With the comparatively sudden change in activity have come questions and concerns about the prices landowners are getting for leases, the impact of new exploration and production activity, and government oversight of the industry."

"text": "Early beginnings The title “Clerk” developed from the Latin clericus. During the Middle Ages, when scholarship and writing were limited to the clergy, “clerk” came to mean a scholar, especially one who could read, write, and thus serve as secretary, accountant and recorder. In 1439, Symkyn Birches was awarded the office of “Toun Clerk” of Coventry for the rest of his life and the position became commonplace as local government developed throughout England and Wales. In 1835 the Municipal Corporations Act required every borough council to appoint a salaried Town Clerk. The position of Clerk was further consolidated by the Local Government Acts of 1888 and 1894 which granted , respectively, County Councils and then Urban and Rural Districts and the newly created civil parish councils the specific power to appoint a “Clerk of the Council”. The importance of the Clerk’s position was underlined by Lord Justice Caldecote ruling in Hurle-Hobbs ex parte Riley and another (1944) observed: “The office of town clerk is an important part of the machinery of local government. He may be said to stand between the local Council and the ratepayers. He is there to assist by his advice and action the conduct of public affairs in the borough and, if there is a disposition on the part of the council, still more on the part of any member of the council, to ride roughshod over his opinions, the question must at once arise as to whether it is not his duty forthwith to resign his office or, at any rate, to do what he thinks right and await the consequences. ”The Chief Executive By the early 1970s there was a significant change in the theory of local government’s managerial leadership. While the Clerk’s role had included the statutory duties of the maintaining of records and registrations and the drafting of Council and committee minutes and they were also concerned with overall policy and management, few had powers of control or direction over other Directors or Chief Officers."

How to Check the Cleanliness of a Hotel How to Pay Cash at Hotels That hotel rate sounded like a deal when you found it on that discount website, but your bill upon check-out told a different story: a $25 daily resort fees, $15 for daily Wi-Fi use and a few $5 sodas from the minibar. Hotels earn billions each year from these nickel-and-dime tactics, but savvy travelers can avoid these fees and keep their rates in line with what they expected when booking. Your strategy should be a mixture of knowing what services to avoid and being prepared to haggle at the front desk when necessary. Step 1Book hotels that are not in the top tiers. It might seem counter-intuitive, but more expensive hotels are more likely to charge you for everyday incidentals, particularly Internet access, breakfast and parking. Properties in the midprice range generally include these amenities in their rates. Step 2Call your hotel before you travel and ask what charges could potentially add to your bill, particularly if you book on a website other than the hotel's home site. Third-party sites such as Orbitz and Travelocity are getting better about displaying incidental fees but still might omit some surprises for you to discover at checkout. Federal law is on your side, as it requires hotels to clearly explain any incidental charges before your stay."

"text": "\"SEC Settles Fraud Charges with Bear Stearns for Late Trading and Market Timing Violations Firm To Pay $250 Million in Disgorgement and Penalties FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2006-38Washington, D. C., March 16, 2006 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced a settled enforcement action against Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. (BS&Co.) and Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. (BSSC) (collectively, Bear Stearns), charging Bear Stearns with securities fraud for facilitating unlawful late trading and deceptive market timing of mutual funds by its customers and customers of its introducing brokers. The Commission issued an Order finding that from 1999 through September 2003, Bear Stearns provided technology, advice and deceptive devices that enabled its market timing customers and introducing brokers to late trade and to evade detection by mutual funds. Pursuant to the Order, Bear Stearns will pay $250 million, consisting of $160 million in disgorgement and a $90 million penalty. The money will be paid into a Fair Fund to be distributed to the harmed mutual funds and mutual fund shareholders. Bear Stearns will also undertake significant reforms to improve its compliance structure. Simultaneously, NYSE Regulation, Inc. censured and fined Bear Stearns, and imposed compliance with these undertakings. The fine imposed by the NYSE will be deemed satisfied by the payment of the $250 million pursuant to the Commission's Order. Linda Chatman Thomsen, SEC Enforcement Division Director, said, \"\"For years, Bear Stearns helped favored hedge fund customers evade the systems and rules designed to protect long-term mutual fund investors from the harm of market timing and late trading. As a result, market timers profited while long term investors lost."

Read the full series. When the corn, wheat and oats futures contracts debuted in 1877, little did the 12 men who founded the Chicago Board of Trade realize they were creating a vehicle that would result in trillions of dollars traded globally every year. Although the CBOT was founded in 1848, it still took nearly 30 years to develop standardized instruments for selling grain with delivery at some point in the future at a price determined today, says Fred Seamon, senior director, grains and oilseeds for CME Group. At its inception, the CBOT centralized grain dealing, which represented the beginning of price discovery and price transparency, Seamon says, but it was still just a seasonal cash market because farmers and merchants met only around harvest. Chicago grew as a major city because of its location on Lake Michigan and as a major rail hub, but even with key shipping and rail lines, merchants had trouble handling the volume of grain flowing into the city at harvest. That changed when storage capacity was built in Chicago. Soon storage owners and farmers realized they could reap higher returns if they could wait to sell grain later in the crop year, Seamon says. Thus, the first forward contracts started, and those eventually evolved into standardized contracts for corn, wheat and oats. “It was those contracts in 1877 that became the first futures contracts."

"text": "STP Vs. ECNBy marcp | View this Toon at Toon Doo | Create your own Toon I get this question all the time: What is the difference between straight through processing (STP) and an ECN broker? Big difference. Straight Through Processing from what I understand is just a name given to dealing desk brokers that have automated the dealing process. Traditionally in the spot forex market, when you place a trade, you are being filled by your forex broker also known as an RFED. This means the broker is the liquidity provider or “counter party” to your trade. They say this is good because when you need to buy, you will always have someone to buy from and vice versa if you have to sell. In a perfect world, what is supposed to happen next is the broker is supposed offset that position it opened counter to your trade with one of their liquidity providers, usually someone like UBS, and just pocket the difference which is the spread you pay. That’s nice, but that is not reality. When your disclosure document describes this “counter party” process, it usually mentions something about a “conflict of interest”."

The stunning entry to the JANUS et Cie showroom in the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, Calif. (Photo courtesy of JANUS et Cie)Formerly \"\"to-the-trade\"\" interior design centers are increasingly opening their doors to consumers, as well as to interior designers and architects. Here's what to know about these sources of great home design ideas and products. Every year after the Oscars, Elton John hosts a party at the Pacific Design Center (PDC) on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. This might give you the impression that design centers, which are filled with exclusive showrooms displaying the latest lines from the best furniture and decor companies, are only for the rich and famous. Christopher Grubb, president of Arch-Interiors Design Group, Inc. in Beverly Hills, Calif., has given many seminars at the PDC and acknowledges that design centers have this reputation, but says times have changed. “ Years ago, there was a stringent policy that design centers were only for the trade, but most welcome and encourage the public to visit and peruse the many offerings their showrooms have. ”“The trade” refers to licensed architects and landscape architects and interior designers, who shop at design centers around the country for their clients. So what about the rest of us? “ I have many middle-class clients who would rather spend the money to buy once and buy right,” says Jennifer Scully, president of redesignforadime.com in Cold Spring Harbor, NY. “ There is a noticeable quality difference in the furnishings in showrooms — the books and online catalogs you can find there are extensive."

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Terence Bell Updated February 26, 2018Metal prices are not only important to manufacturers and end-users but have long been used as a tool for monitoring economic and market conditions. But how do markets determine metal prices? Metal Market Information The prices of individual metals, like prices for any commodity, are essentially determined by supply and demand. However, to assume that information on supply (production and inventories) and demand (consumption) is readily available, accurate and transparent, would be a big mistake, regardless of the type of metal. Current prices do not only factor in immediate supply and demand but also expectations of future supply and demand. In general, the less information available, the greater price volatility will be. A large service industry has grown around researching, reporting and consulting on virtually every individual metal. Countless websites now report on the movement of metal prices. Of course, the majority of this research and reporting is focused on the large base metal markets, such as copper, nickel, zinc, and lead."

BACK END: Back end is the contract which is being sent to the bank for financing, where extra \"\"hidden\"\" profit is made by the dealer; the back end profit occurs because the dealer gets a kickback from the bank just for setting up the loan there instead of somewhere else."

S. economy. What happens to money and credit affects interest rates (the cost of credit) and the performance of the U. S. economy. Test your knowledge about monetary policy through this quiz. Additional quizzes are also available. What is inflation and how does it affect the economy? Inflation is a sustained increase in the general level of prices, which is equivalent to a decline in the value or purchasing power of money. If the supply of money and credit increases too rapidly over time, the result could be inflation. What are the goals of monetary policy? The goals of monetary policy are to promote maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates. By implementing effective monetary policy, the Fed can maintain stable prices, thereby supporting conditions for long-term economic growth and maximum employment."

"text": "\"3 Keys to Understanding Implied Volatility and IV Rank...and using them to your advantage!#1 UNDERSTAND IVImplied Volatility -- or “IV” -- gives you useful, actionable information about option prices and the market. The Implied Volatility of an underlying is simply the size of a one standard deviation move for a given period. For example, if IV is 20% on a $100 underlying, that tells us that a “one standard deviation move” is plus or minus $20 for that period. So how do you know if IV is actually high or low? We check the IV Rank. Click for more on IMPLIED VOLATILITY from tastytrade.#2 CHECK THE IV RANKIn reality, IV Rank is way more helpful than the implied volatility number alone, because you want to understand where IV is now in relation to where it lives normally. You can see each underlying’s IV Rank right on the stock tiles on dough’s grid page; you can even sort the list quickly and easily!Click for more on IV RANK from tastytrade.#3 TRADE BETTER WITH IVSo why should you care about IV and IV Rank? Well, if IV is high we’re interested, and if IV is low we’re interested, because we see those periods as opportunities. At dough, our assumption is generally that, in time, implied volatility will get back to normal. So when the IV Rank is high, option prices are richer - this is when we like to sell."

"text": "How to get an entry level job in sales and tradingby Paul Clarke 12 September 2014How to get a job in sales and trading. Every day, millions of financial products are bought and sold in the secondary markets where traders and salespeople in investment banks work together to trade for clients after a security’s initial issue. In the secondary markets, salespeople advise clients on investment opportunities, while traders buy and sell securities on their behalf. The secondary markets are divided into equities (stocks and shares) and fixed income, currencies and commodities (corporate credit, government debt, currencies, commodities and interest rate products). Within the fixed income division is the foreign exchange (FX) team. The FX market is the largest in the world, with an average daily turnover of $4 trillion, according to figures from the Bank for International Settlements. High volume markets like FX and equities have become increasingly traded electronically, rather than using manual intervention. The benefits are greater volumes of trades, which improves market liquidity as well as increasing the speed and cost of transactions, and increasing transparency. The downside is that less manpower is required and trader headcount has fallen dramatically in recent years, while employee numbers in the technology divisions have risen. JPMorgan, for instance, employs over 30,000 technologists globally, while a quarter of Goldman Sachs’ staff now work in an IT role."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Irish stew Irish cuisine is the style of cooking that originated from Ireland, or was developed by the Irish people. It has evolved from centuries of social and political change, and the mixing of the different cultures in Ireland, predominantly the English and Irish (and, in Ulster, the Scottish). The cuisine is founded upon the crops and animals farmed in its temperate climate. The development of Irish cuisine was negatively affected by the English conquest of the early 17th century, which impoverished the masses by taking their land away and making the food supply provide for England and Scotland and their armed forces. The English also replaced more sophisticated types of native cuisine with English norms. Consequently, the potato, after its widespread adoption in the 18th century, became just about the only food the poor could afford (which was the vast majority of the population). As a result, the potato is often associated with Ireland and \"\"Irish potato\"\" has come to mean any dense, white potato with a low starch content."

"text": "To many people, Irish food means potatoes. Ireland has a rich history of hearty, filling foods. With an abundance of land dedicated to sheep, cows and crops, as well as its ample coastline for fishing, Ireland has plentiful resources for fresh, local cuisine. Irish restaurants pride themselves on serving dishes made from locally grown ingredients, and many continue to prepare the same traditional staples that have been popular in Ireland for centuries History The Irish Potato Famine is an event that stands out in the history of Irish foods. Before the potato was introduced to the country, beans, peas and wheat served as mealtime staples. Once the potato came along in the late 16th century, that began to change. By the 18th century, potatoes were the mainstay of the Irish diet, with one variety in particular dominating. When this potato succumbed to disease in the 1840s, the country fell into famine. Despite the difficulties faced in these years, potatoes have continued to be a major component of the Irish diet. Foods Potatoes are not the only wholesome food with a place on the traditional Irish menu."

"text": "Like many countries, Ireland has adapted to international cuisines from North America, Asia and other European countries. Despite the influx of foods from other cultures, traditional foods eaten in Ireland depend on local ingredients and remind the Irish of a time when food was scarce and families had to make food last. Visitors can try traditional Irish dishes, available anywhere, and chase them down with Guinness, the national beer. Irish Breakfast The foods eaten in an Irish breakfast resemble those eaten for breakfast in many western countries, with a touch of Ireland’s flavor. A traditional Irish breakfast is a fried meal consisting of bacon, eggs, sausage, fried tomatoes, fried potato slices, and black and white pudding. Breakfast may include boxty, a traditional Irish potato pancake. A hearty Irish breakfast sometimes includes baked beans, grated Dubliner cheese, liver and mushrooms. Irish teas like Barry’s Tea, Lyons Tea and Bewley’s breakfast tea are popular with an early morning meal. Soda Bread Soda bread is one of the simple foods eaten in Ireland, a basic recipe containing flour, baking soda, salt and soured milk or buttermilk. Many recipes for soda bread include raisins or currents, sugar, whiskey, or other fruits and nuts."

"text": "\"Goetta Cincinnati pork-oatmeal scrapple The origins of Goetta, a popular Cincinnati Oh./Covington Ky. breakfast food, are obscure, but it may be another excellent example of how regional cuisine is influenced by the blending of immigrant groups. Cincinnati is a laboratory for these effects. ( This is not the same as \"\"fusion\"\" which describes the product of a Japanese chef who studied in Tuscany.) Some say Goetta (originally pronounced \"\"gœ'-ta\"\" but today pronounced \"\"gedda\"\") comes from Scrapple, a Pennsylvania \"\"Dutch\"\" (German) dish from a neighboring state. Others say it's a frontier form of Haggis, brought into the Ohio Valley by Scots-Irish migrants via Kentucky. Adding to the mystery is the fact that the name \"\"goetta\"\" is not used anywhere outside the greater Cincinnati area. It's reasonable to believe that the Irish-oats pancakes (actually, a polenta, or pan-fried thickened oat porridge or mush) eaten by the Scots-Irish in Kentucky, and sometimes richened with humble pork (or organ meat) scraps to make a hearty Haggis substitute, was adapted by an Amish/German Scrapple recipe in Cincinnati or Covington, using the Irish polenta in place of the corn meal polenta to thicken and stretch the meat scraps into a cheap, high-energy meal. But if you have a better theory, let me know. Don't tell me it came from Germany. In spite of its German-sounding name, and its popularity in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's German community, I found a recipe for it in only one German cookbook, and it lists its origin as mittleren Westen der USA -- the U. S. Midwest."

"text": "Business & Economy BMI Blues: Royalty fees stifle music venues in Vermont By Cindy Ellen Hill Jul 4 2012 0 Comments Share Tweet Share BMI logo. Wikipedia. Sounds of silence will echo from the wells of a number of Vermont’s live music venues this year, as the cost of complying with copyright licensing fees has proven too high for rural session venues and small-town coffeehouses. Performance rights organizations ASCAP and BMI have engaged in intense outreach across Vermont, demanding annual licensing fees in the hundreds of dollars from venues including tiny coffee shops and nonprofit festivals. A number of venues have discontinued live music over the last year rather than pay the piper, but BMI claims its licensing services help support local Vermont songwriters. BMI, or Broadcast Music, Inc., is in the business of collecting copyright licensing fees from radio, television, Internet, jukebox owners and live music venues and redistributing those funds back to music copyright owners as royalty payments. BMI registration for songwriters is free, though registering artists must sign a two-year contract and agree not to sign on to BMI’s rival organizations, ASCAP and SESAC, during that period. BMI claims that 86 cents of every dollar paid to them goes to their artist members as royalties—though their artist members include huge music publishing companies as well as individual songwriters. ASCAP and the less-visible SESAC operate on similar models. Sundays will never be the same BMI first called the Shoreham Inn in November 2011, when the inn was closed for the season."

The country comprises 26 of the 32 counties that constitute the island on which it is located. The remaining six counties in North-East Ulster are part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland was founded through the conclusion of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. The Constitution of 1937 and the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 severed Ireland’s last formal links with the UK. Ireland remained neutral during the Second World War and does not belong to any military alliance. Ireland became a member of the United Nations (UN) in 1955 and joined what is now the European Union (EU) in 1973. Ireland’s international engagement was given new impetus when it chaired the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2012, held the rotating EU Presidency from January to June 2013, and was elected to the UN Human Rights Council (2013-2015). Ireland is seeking a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2021-22 term. Political overview System of Government Ireland is a republic, with a system of parliamentary democracy."

( Although southern France is generally considered to be part of southern Europe, it will be included in this discussion.) These countries are all part of the European Union. England and France have a very diverse population due to the large number of immigrants from former colonies and current dependent territories. Catholicism and Protestantism are the dominant religions. Description Eating Habits and Meal Patterns The northern European diet generally consists of a large serving of meat, poultry, or fish, accompanied by small side dishes of vegetables and starch. The traditional diet is high in protein, primarily from meat and dairy products. The diet tends to be low in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Immigrants from this region of the world brought this eating pattern to North America and it still influences the ‘‘meat and potatoes’’ American meal. The influence of each country’s food habits on each other is also extensive."

Specific foods, such as soda bread and the Irish breakfast, have been served in Ireland for centuries. Although many people may be most familiar with famous beverages such as Irish whiskey and Guinness stout, there are some famous Irish foods that are a must-try. Irish Breakfast Traditional Irish breakfasts are known for having unusually large selections and grand amounts of food. Items include black pudding (otherwise known as blood sausage) and white pudding (combined oatmeal and pork sausage cooked together). A typical Irish breakfast consists of fried eggs, sausage, bacon, a slice of tomato, black pudding and white pudding. Colcannon The Irish consume more potatoes than most countries in the world, according to Food by Country. Colcannon is a famous Irish potato dish, which is typically whole or chopped potatoes cooked in onions, cream, butter and cabbage. Soda Bread Ireland is known for its homemade soda bread, which has a crusty consistency and is made from whole-wheat flour and buttermilk."

The History of Irish Food in Ireland Countless influences have made their mark on Irish food over the centuries from the arrival of the Celts in Ireland about 600 to 500 BC, the Vikings and the English colonization of Ireland in the 16th and 17th century. Cattle played an important part in Irish food from the middle ages until the arrival of the potato in Ireland in the 16th century. The meat was predominantly food for the rich with the poor making do with the offal, the milk, cheese and butter which were supplemented with grains and barley for nourishment. The Potato in Ireland – A Blessing and a Curse The potato arrived in Ireland in the mid-to-late 16th century. The damp, cool Irish climate and soil conditions proved perfect for potatoes and the potato rapidly moved from a simple garden vegetable to a staple food crop for both man and animals as it was cheap to grow and even a small plot could produce a hearty crop."

When introduced in the 1970s, heat pumps were noisy, unreliable machines that garnered little more than passing curiosity from homeowners. Now, as heat pump estimates continue to drop, this alternative heating system is quiet, reliable, and usually less costly to heat a home than with other traditional options, such as gas, oil and electric furnaces. If your heating bills just keep rising, it might be time to invest in a heat pump. Heat pump costs may appear high because of the expensive initial investment, but in the long-term heat pumps usually lead to savings courtesy of some of the best energy efficiency of all heating and cooling options. While you may think you're paying more for a heat pump, you will also likely recover your investment in energy savings far more quickly than with other heating methods."

The heat source can be a furnace, a boiler that uses hot water and a coil to warm air or a heat pump (which may be paired with a furnace in colder climates); this heat source is typically located in a basement, garage or utility room. Typical costs: In new house construction or as part of an extensive remodeling project where the walls are already torn open, installing a central heating system with either a gas furnace or a heat pump typically costs $10,000-$20,000 or more, depending on the size of the house, the complexity of the system (such as the number registers that release heat or the number of independent heating zones) and the type of unit. High-efficiency gas furnaces usually cost $500-$1,500 more than a standard model. In a house with existing usable ductwork, replacing a gas furnace with another gas furnace can cost $1,700-$4,000 for basic installation of a standard-efficiency unit or $5,000-$7,000 for a more complex installation in an area with high labor rates; and $2,500-$6,000 for basic installation of a high-efficiency gas furnace or $7,000-$12,000 for a more complex project. If all the ductwork must be replaced or added inside intact walls, it can cost $2,700-$12,000 or more to install gas central heating with a standard-efficiency gas furnace and $3,500-$22,000 or more with a high-efficiency unit. With existing usable ductwork, replacing an oil-fired furnace typically costs $2,000-$5,000 for a basic installation, but it can be $6,000-$10,000 or more for complex installations. If it's necessary to add or completely replace ductwork, it can cost $3,000-$20,000 or more for a central heating system using an oil-fired furnace. With existing usable ductwork, a replacement heat pump typically costs $2,000-$5,000 for an air-source heat pump for an average-size home in a moderate climate; $2,500-$5,500 for a dual-fuel air-source heat pump that works with a natural gas or propane furnace under a single control system (for colder climates); or $5,000-$10,000 or more for both an electric heat pump and the fossil-fuel furnace). If ductwork must be added or completely replaced, a central heating system using a heat pump can cost $3,000-$20,000 or more."

"text": "Home Video: How Do Ductless Air Conditioners Work? Ductless A/C offers an alternative option to central air conditioning or window units. A ductless A/C system costs about $2,000 per ton of cooling capacity, but you'll save money with a more energy-efficient cooling system. Be sure to hire an experienced HVAC contractor to install a ductless A/C system since the technology is fairly new. Can’t watch the video? Read the transcript below: A ductless air conditioner can help keep your home cool, especially in situations where you may not have ductwork, like a sunroom, or in areas where running ductwork is difficult. Angie Hicks, Angie’s List founder: “A ductless air conditioner can cost about $1,500 to $2,000 per ton of cooling capacity, but you need to remember while these systems are more expensive, not having the ductwork can be a little bit more efficient than a traditional air conditioner because you lose about 20 percent of the efficiency from the ductwork. ”Chad Peterman, Peterman Heating, Cooling and Plumbing: “The government standard currently is 13 SEER. A SEER rating is basically just an efficiency spectrum where you run from 13 as the standard for a traditional system on up to units that are 20 SEER efficient. Units like these, a one-to-one system, you can get efficiencies of 20 and a half SEER out of these units."

On the other hand, you might have a dual system, such as a heat pump with electric resistive elements, or gas for a backup. There are manual thermostats as well as programmable thermostats. Step 1Choose your thermostat according to your needs. If there are a number of members in the house that come and go at different times, a manual Trane thermostat is probably the right choice. If there are regular periods of time that no one is home, it might save cost on energy to go with a Trane programmable thermostat. Step 2Connect the thermostat wires. If changing out a Trane thermostat, just mark the wires and replace them where they came off. If installing a thermostat from the beginning, the wires are normally color coded.

It does not cover complete hvac systems, or components like a compressor or complete ac unit and coil. Sections: Overview | Product Costs | Installation Cost | DIY or Pro | Web Compare | Shared Pricing Overview of AC Coils Evaporator coils commonly fail sooner than almost any other component of a home HVAC system. While many will argue the reasoning for failure, everyone agrees that if you don’t properly clean and maintain your system every year, it will eventually result in a buildup of dust, soot and other airborne particles that will block air flow and lead to failure. While a properly maintained AC and evaporator coil will last 10-15 years or longer, an improperly cared for system could fail you as quickly as 1-3 years. In addition, not having the condensate drain line cleaned each year can result in water buildup, that will corrode the coil and increased failure rates as well as reducing the life of your furnace, if the coil drain pan overflows and drips into it. This Costimate will help you estimate the cost of replacing the AC evaporator coil in your home cooling system.

Central Air Conditioner Routine Maintenance Routine inspection and maintenance is very important to catch problems early and save on your electric bill. I recommend hiring an HVAC technician to inspect and maintain the AC system twice a year; Spring and Fall are best before the summer or winter season begins and before you really need your system. The most important thing a home owner should do is regularly change the air filter every month. I installed Honeywell touchscreen 7-day programmable digital thermostats that reminds me when it’s time to change the air filter. A dirty air filter will increase your electric bill as the system struggles to heat or cool your home. Other things a knowledgeable homeowner can do is clean the evaporator coils.

In many parts of the United States, air conditioners aren't just a luxury, but a necessity during the summer months. Newer central A/C units are quieter, more powerful and more energy efficient than earlier models, and they can offer greater value by helping to lower energy bills each month.

"text": "How Much Does Air Conditioning Cost?by Don Vandervort, Home Tips © 1997-2017May 9, 2016A new whole-house air conditioning system will cost between $3000 and $7000, depending upon the size of the system, equipment brands, and installation requirements. Large, complicated systems can run much more, costing as much as $20,000. Existing heating system ductwork in your home makes a difference because it can usually be utilized. But, even in a home with usable ductwork, a standard central air-conditioning system can cost $3,000 to $6,000 or more to install. In fact, with top brand air conditioners such as Amana, American Standard, Lennox, Trane, and York, the equipment alone can run from $2500 to $3500. Because the cost of installation depends on so many variables, the only way to pinpoint the overall cost is to get at least three bids from qualified air conditioning contractors. Installing a conventional ducted system usually only makes sense if a house is being newly constructed or has a forced-air heating system that the air conditioner can piggyback on. Retrofitting the ductwork needed for a conventional ducted system in an existing home is simply too expensive in most cases. Instead, a mini-ductless system or several window or room air conditioners may be the best options. It’s important to note that installing a central air conditioner is not a do-it-yourself project."

When not kept in shape, even the best heating/cooling system can cost you by wasting energy. How much? Depending on how you heat and cool your home and the climate of the area you live in, clogged filters, dirty thermostats, sooty flues, leaky ductwork, and unlubricated fan motors can reduce heating and cooling efficiency by up to 25 percent!Some of these maintenance tasks are simple, while others require a trained pro.

[ 2] [3] Trans fat has been shown to consistently be associated, in an intake-dependent way, with increased risk of coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death in Western nations. [ 4]Fats contain long hydrocarbon chains, which can either be unsaturated, i.e., have double bonds, or saturated, i.e., have no double bonds. In nature, unsaturated fatty acids generally have cis as opposed to trans configurations. [ 5] In food production, liquid cis -unsaturated fats such as vegetable oils are hydrogenated to produce saturated fats, which have more desirable physical properties, e.g. they melt at a desirable temperature (30–40 °C). Partial hydrogenation of the unsaturated fat converts some of the cis double bonds into trans double bonds by an isomerization reaction with the catalyst used for the hydrogenation, which yields a trans fat. [ 2] [3]Although trans fats are edible, consumption of trans fats has been shown to increase the risk of coronary artery disease in part by raising levels of the lipoprotein LDL (often referred to as \"\"bad cholesterol\"\"), lowering levels of the lipoprotein HDL (often referred to as \"\"good cholesterol\"\"), increasing triglycerides in the bloodstream and promoting systemic inflammation. [ 6] [7]Trans fats also occur naturally. Vaccenyl and conjugated linoleyl (CLA) containing trans fats occur naturally in meat and dairy products from ruminants. Butter, for example, contains about 3% trans fat. ["

"text": "\"Foods That Feed Cancer?from \"\"The Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods\"\" by Mike Adams ( Natural News.com)Ever wonder which foods should be strongly avoided by those at high risk for cancer? We can begin identifying cancer-causing foods once we know which ingredients in our food cause cancer. Some of those ingredients are food additives and chemicals used to enhance taste, while others are used strictly for appearance or to increase product shelf life. The key to avoiding cancer-causing foods is knowing which ingredients are carcinogens -- or cancer promoters -- and then reading food labels to permanently avoid consuming those ingredients. Cancer tumors develop, in part, by feeding on sugar in the bloodstream. If you eat lots of sugary snacks loaded with simple carbs, you're loading your bloodstream with the chemical energy needed for cancer cells (and tumors) to proliferate. No biological system can live without fuel for its chemical processes, including cancer cells. Thus, one of the strategies to pursue for any anti-cancer diet is to eat low-glycemic diet. That means no refined sugars... ever! No refined grains (white flour, for example), no heavy use of sweeteners and the lifetime avoidance of sugary soda pop."

The Origin of Canola Oil Ever wonder where canola oil comes from? After all, there is no such thing as a canola plant!Canola stands for “Canadian oil low acid” and the oil comes from a form of rapeseed ( Brassica napus) grown largely in Canada. Rapeseed is a relative of mustard and is a member of the same group of plants as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. The name change from rapeseed to canola was a PR move due to the bad connotation of the word rapeseed. So, at least here in the US, it’s called canola oil, but in much of the world it’s still known as rapeseed oil or rape oil.

These unsaturated fats help fight the very diseases that consuming excess fat was said to cause. Unsaturated fats are divided into monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, and both types are thought to have beneficial effects on cholesterol levels. Monounsaturated fats help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while also boosting HDL (good) cholesterol. Polyunsaturated fats are also thought to help lower total and bad cholesterol.

A good working understanding of just what they are and how they work is an essential part of any well conceived diet. Fats and oils, certainly as much and perhaps more than any other single dietary component, directly impact our health in profound ways. The difference between fats and oils is in their melting point. Fats tend to be solids at room temperature; oils tend to be liquid at room temperature. To turn a fat into an oil, merely raise its temperature above its melting point. If the temperature continues to increase beyond the melting point to the point where some smoke becomes evident, the molecular structure of the oils will change and a number of toxic molecular isomers will be produced in the oil. If the oil is allowed to cool or to resolidify, the toxic products will remain. The temperatures where this damage is done to our fats and oils is about half the temperatures reached in the refining and Hydrogenation processes.

Thye, Associate Professor; Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise, Virginia Tech Introduction Everyone wants to be healthy. ( Wealthy and wise, too!) What you eat and do can help you stay healthy. In recent years, there has been much emphasis on changing one's diet to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, as these two diseases are the major causes of death in this country. How to prevent and detect these diseases in the early stages while they are treatable are major areas of study. Too often, the first symptom of heart disease is a fatal heart attack or stroke. Imagine the excitement of doctors when they found that a high level of cholesterol in the blood was often associated with heart disease. The cholesterol content of the blood can be measured by a simple blood test. Dietary and lifestyle changes usually can lower blood cholesterol levels to acceptable ranges for most people - no expensive tests or surgery are required; not even medicine for most persons. Many of the dietary changes that help to reduce one's risk of heart disease also appear to reduce the risks of cancer."

"text": "What Do Saturated & Trans Fats Do to Your Body?by LYNNE SHELDON Aug. 14, 2017Fats are essential to your diet because they have several important functions such as providing your body with energy and contributing to bodily processes like the digestion of vitamins. However, while certain fats are considered healthy, saturated and trans fats are not. These fats can raise your cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk for heart disease. Talk to your doctor about limiting or even eliminating these sources of fat from your diet while emphasizing healthier ones. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Saturated Fats Saturated fats are usually found in animal products including meats, poultry with skin and whole-milk dairy products. When you consume foods with saturated fat, it can raise your LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, getting too much saturated fat in your diet can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Limit your intake of this type of fat to 7 percent of your total daily calories or less. Trans Fats Trans fats, also known as trans fatty acids, occur naturally in animal-based foods, but they are also created through the process of hydrogenating saturated fats. This is how hydrogenated vegetable oils are formed, which are commonly used in fast foods and most processed food items."

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you read ingredients such as “partially hydrogenated oil” and “hydrogenated oil” on a food label? Do you think of heart disease, heart health, or atherosclerosis? Most people probably do not. As we uncover what hydrogenation is and why manufacturers use it, you will be better equipped to adhere to healthier dietary choices and promote your heart health. Hydrogenation: The Good Gone Bad? Food manufacturers are aware that fatty acids are susceptible to attack by oxygen molecules because their points of unsaturation render them vulnerable in this regard. When oxygen molecules attack these points of unsaturation the modified fatty acid becomes oxidized. The oxidation of fatty acids makes the oil rancid and gives the food prepared with it an unappetizing taste."

"text": "\"For a thorough grounding in lipid chemistry and biochemistry, see the Lipid Library website created by Dr William W. Christie, former head of the Chemistry Department at The Scottish Crop Research Institute. Chemistry of trans fats Where we speak of \"\"fat\"\", chemists use the term \"\"triglyceride\"\" - a molecule containing three \"\"glycerides\"\" or fatty acids, connected through a single molecule of glycerol. The fatty acids consist mainly of long carbon chains with hydrogen atoms attached to their sides, normally two hydrogen atoms on every carbon atom in the chain. A \"\"saturated\"\" fatty acid is one in which every carbon atom is bound to two hydrogen atoms. An \"\"unsaturated\"\" fatty acid is one in which one or more pairs of the carbon atoms along the chain have only one hydrogen atom each, and the two carbon atoms of the pair are connected by a \"\"double bond\"\" instead of the usual \"\"single bond\"\" . The configuration of the double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid can take two forms (or, to chemists, isomers ): the naturally predominant cis form, in which both of the hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the chain; and the uncommon-in-nature trans isomer, in which the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides. The trans form is (in most cases) best thought of as 'damaged'. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperatures: the double bond is, in the normal cis configuration, asymmetric and so forces a kink or bend into the carbon chain. As a result the unsaturated fatty acids are unable to pack so closely together, or crystallise so readily as straight-chain saturated fatty acids. This is why unsaturated oils are mostly liquid at room temperature, while more saturated fats (such as tallow) are hard."

By observing the device attached to the Exhibition room ceiling that generates transverse and longitudinal 10-meters-long waves, we can understand the difference in properties between the two types of waves. Additional Knowledge Waves can be divided into two types according to how they transmit. This is what is called transverse and longitudinal waves. The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the direction in which the waves shake. If the wave shakes perpendicular to the movement direction, it's a transverse wave, if it shakes in the movement direction, then it's a longitudinal wave. [ Transverse Wave] It is easy to imagine a transverse wave. The waves transmitted from a tightened rope when shaken are transverse waves. Waves are generated by the vibration of matter.

Now, let's see why can they propagate through solids. They can propagate through solid because solids have enough shear strength. The shear strength is one of the forces that hold the solid together, and prevent it from falling apart. The case with liquids is that, liquids do not have that much shear strength: for example consider this, if you take a glass of water and suddenly, somehow you remove the glass, the water will not keep it's shape and will just flow away. So in fact it just boils down to the fact that transverse-waves need a medium rigid enough to propagate, which liquids can't provide. Also remember that not all transverse waves require a rigid medium to travel. Transverse waves can also travel along the surface tension of the ocean, creating water waves."

"text": "\"Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave• Categorized under Physics, Science | Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave Longitudinal vs Transverse Wave A wave is a disturbance which moves away from what created it and changes the thing that it travels on like the surface of the ocean or the air. This is caused by the transfer of energy that disturbs its medium or channel. There are several types of waves, and two of them are longitudinal and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the channel or medium is in the same direction as the wave. This causes particles to move left and right inducing other particles to oscillate or vibrate. The primary wave or P-wave in an earthquake is an example of a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal waves. Air molecules move forward and backward, and when they are compressed, they are forced to move apart producing a vacuum or what is called a rarefaction. A longitudinal wave acts in only one dimension so it does not have a plane nor can it be polarized or aligned. It can be produced in solids, liquids, or gases unlike a transverse wave which can only be produced in solids and the surface of liquids."

A longitudinal wave is that type of wave that moves in the direction of its propagation; its movement is often like vibrations. In this type of wave, the motion of medium is from left to right or right to left on a common line, and the motion of wave is to left or right. The best example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves. A transverse wave is that type of wave that moves at right angles to the direction of its propagation; its movement is like vibrations or flow.

Transverse mechanical waves will pass through any mechanical medium.† Sophia † · 9 years ago1 0 Comment A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction which the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil up and down. Energy will begin to be transported through the slinky from left to right. As the energy is transported from left to right, the individual coils of the medium will be displaced upwards and downwards. In this case, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction which the pulse moves. This type of wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. Based on this information I would say \"\"yes\"\" to your question Sandyharold · 9 years ago0 1 Comment A mechanical waves ( transverse & logitudinal ) need medium while electromagnetic wave ( EMS ) doesnt need medium :)Christopher ho · 2 years ago0 0 Commentnot, example electromagnetic wave (visible light )Alejandro S · 9 years ago0 1 Comment Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

What comes to mind when you think of a wave? Chances are your mental image takes the form of a transverse wave. But, longitudinal waves are just as important, and understanding the difference is vital to learning about waves. In this lesson, explore both types of waves and the unique characteristics of each. The Earth's Interior The crust, mantle, outer and inner core of the earth Do you know what our planet looks like on the inside? You've probably seen pictures like the one above showing the layers inside the earth. You've got the crust on the outside, the mantle underneath, and then the outer and inner core. Scientists tell us that the mantle is made of solid rock, while the outer core is liquid."

"text": "The Physics Classroom » Physics Tutorial » Waves » Categories of Waves Waves - Lesson 1 - The Nature of a Wave Categories of Waves Waves and Wavelike Motion What is a Wave? Categories of Waves Waves come in many shapes and forms. While all waves share some basic characteristic properties and behaviors, some waves can be distinguished from others based on some observable (and some non-observable) characteristics. It is common to categorize waves based on these distinguishing characteristics. Longitudinal versus Transverse Waves versus Surface Waves One way to categorize waves is on the basis of the direction of movement of the individual particles of the medium relative to the direction that the waves travel. Categorizing waves on this basis leads to three notable categories: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil up and down.

It is so common that it is one of the most proliferated terrestrial mollusks. The helix aspersa is also known as “European Brown Garden Snail,” but its scientific is under discussion. Some scientists think this snail is “ Cornu aspersum ,” “ Cantareus aspersus ” or “ Cryptomphalus aspersus .”This species is native to Europe but now lives in several parts of the world where it has become a pest of crops and gardens. Class: Gastropoda Superfamily: Helicoidea Family: Helicidae Description The Helix aspersa is an air-breathing snail, which has a single lung. They have a brownish soft body, covered with slimy mucus and yellow or cream-colored shells with brown spiral stripes. The shell of this species has a height of about 0-9-1.3 Inches, and a width of 0.9-1.5 inches and a lip appears at its edge when an individual is old. It is a small mollusk, with a shell that has a sphere shape and a slightly rough surface, with about 4 or 5 spirals. Not all individuals have the shell of the same color; some have it dark brown, but the majority has it light brown or with a golden hue; also, it shows several brown or yellow stripes. This shell has a large opening whose edges are white."

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

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A tree island in the Everglades covered by Old World climbing fern. Everglades National Park staff photographed this image of an alligator and Burmese python locked in a struggle. Invasive species in the Everglades are exotic plants and animals that are not native to the area and have aggressively adapted to conditions in wilderness areas in southern Florida. The Everglades are a massive watershed in the southern portion of the U. S. state of Florida that drains overflow from the vast shallow Lake Okeechobee that is in turn fed by the Kissimmee River. The overflow forms a very shallow river about 60 miles (97 km) wide and 100 miles (160 km) long that travels about half a mile per day. The network of ecosystems created by the Everglades are surrounded by urban areas to the east in the South Florida metropolitan area, to the west by Naples and Fort Myers, and to the south by Florida Bay, a marine environment that receives fresh water from and is maintained by the Everglades. As it is surrounded on three sides and close to a major transportation and shipping center, it is particularly vulnerable to the importation of exotic species. In the 20th century, Florida experienced a population surge unparalleled in the U. S., accompanied by rapid urban expansion made possible by draining portions of the Everglades. Flood control became a priority and the Central & South Florida Flood Control Project, from 1947 to 1971, constructed over 1,400 miles (2,300 km) of canals and flood control structures in South Florida. The widespread building created new habitats and disturbed established plant and animal communities."

"text": "What do snails eat Snail farming depends very heavily on the seasons, because snails go into hibernation in colder months and they begin feeding in warmer months. If the summer is too hot, then the snail rest. This all depends on the local climate, with some more appropriate for the most optimum snail production than others. Some snail farms are breeding snails indoors, which enables them to produce snails all year long. Artichoke – food for snails The usual feeding season is from April to October, when snails grow and fatten up. Snails can eat a lot on some days and nothing on other days – depending on the weather. Moistening the soil improves their feeding activity as it makes it easier for snails to move around. When it becomes too hot and dry, the snail usually become inactive, and hide in its shell and becomes dormant until cooler, moister weather returns. The snails estivate in groups on tree trunks, posts, or walls. During winter months snails hibernate, therefore they need to build up their fat reserves to live on during hibernation."

He grabbed his swimming trunks from where they’d been drying on a chair, slid them on, and jumped into the pool. Instead of cool relief, a burning pain ripped through the back of his thigh. Tearing off his trunks, he leaped naked from the pool, his leg on fire. Behind him a small, ugly, yellow creature was treading water.

You will learn about the different parts of a snail’s body, how land snails move, what they like to eat and what makes them happy or sad. I will also present a few ideas for experiments that might help you to understand more about these fascinating snails. Sixty-Six Slithering Snippets Snails are shellfish. They belong to a group called MOLLUSCS. The snail has a shell to protect itself from danger. If a snail is disturbed, it will disappear inside its shell and stay there until it feels safe to come out again. To defend itself, a snail can emit a FROTHY SUBSTANCE which will repel predators such as birds or chickens and hence stop an attack. When a tree has been chopped down, rings inside it tell us how old the tree is. When a snail grows, it was once thought that it could grow a new spiral on its shell every year, just like the ring of a tree."

One softly strokes the other and slides closer, and then, carefully, they wrap themselves together, stroking, probing, entwining. They glisten as they move, and because they are snails, everything happens very slowly. The rubbing, the rapture, the intensity of it all—snail sex is extraordinarily lovely to look at. ( If you aren’t at your office desk or on a train where people can see your screen, I’ve got one about a garden snail named Chip who’s trying to lose his virginity, or take a quick peek—30 seconds will do—of this coupling in a garden. ) Lovely but So Dangerous Garden snails make love in the open—on garden patios, in clearings on the forest floor—and they do it luxuriantly for one, two, three hours at a time, under the sky, where they can be seen by jays, orioles, frogs, snakes, shrews, mice, beetles, and other animals that might want to eat them.

Just like people, different trout like different foods. Trout eat almost any smaller animal, including insects and tiny fish. To get their food, trout have to compete with other types of fish that eat the same things they do. Sometimes, they even have to compete with other trout. Terrestrial (Land) Animals Some trout will eat (or at least try) anything in the water. This includes land animals that accidentally hop or fall into the stream or lake. Grasshoppers can make a big, tasty treat. A mouse can make a satisfying meal for any trout that can fit one in its mouth. Aquatic (Water) Animals (including small fish) Like other wild animals, trout feed on other aquatic animals including water-dwelling insects, minnows and crayfish."

"text": "Trout are cold-blooded beings and unlike humans, their body temperature varies and is directly related to the surrounding environment. Because of this their level of activity changes as the water temperature changes. If the water temperature fluctuates to much, they will decrease their level of activity accordingly to conserve energy. There seems to be a temperature range of about 20 to 25 degrees F in which most trout can maintain the status quo. Most studies have shown that trout will maintain a normal regimen in temperatures ranging from around 40 to 65 degrees give or take a few degrees on the high and/or low sides. In this ideal range of temperatures is when you will find the trout actively feeding. When the water temperature fluctuates higher or lower than these ranges, they usually become sluggish or dormant and can even die if temperatures fluctuate too much outside of their ideal range. In lower water temperatures trout tend to become more sluggish and will slow down their feeding activities. In these conditions they also prefer the deeper pools of water as these pools hold warmer water. Oxygen is not a real concern here as colder water holds more oxygen."

How is it then that a large brown trout will see this –And accept it as this? ( Images from Streamside Guide to Naturals and Their Imitations by Art Flick)The answer lies not with the trout’s vision, but with his perception; that is, how the trout’s brain registers the sensory input of vision and matches it to an established pattern. As fly fishermen we have for centuries looked at the thick hackle of a standard upright dry fly and assumed that the trout sees the hundreds of light points breaking the surface as the six legs of a mayfly. That astounds me! A fish with such fine vision will see all the hundreds of those discrete hackle points. However, while the trout can see the difference between six sparkling points and hundreds, the trout can’t discern or perceive the difference. Vision is the portal for raw sensory information. That information is so complete, and flowing at such a rate, as to be overwhelming."

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

For many outdoors folks, thawing snow signals the beginning of trout season. Sorting and cleaning tackle and shopping to replace items gone missing last season, all serve to build anticipation. Spring is also the best time to introduce children or grandchildren to trout fishing. While most adults have acquired the patience to fish lakes and streams for trout that may take all day to catch, children are happier when action comes faster. And New Jersey has trout stocking programs that make trout fishing exciting for kids. The Fish Early in April the State of New Jersey's Fish and Wildlife division begins augmenting trout populations with regular stocking of hatchery grown fish. In some streams and lakes these are net stocked (scooped out a tank truck and lowered to the water using hand nets) and float stocked (dispersed around the lake by boat). In other places tank trucks are simply driven to the shoreline where trout are dumped into the lake or stream. These stockings often leave fish circulating close to the place in which they are put."

Their diet is made up mostly of aquatic insects when they are young and even as adults in some habitats and with some subspecies. As we will cover below, there are exceptions that vary greatly from distribution and sub-species. Cutthroat Trout will also eat zooplankton, terrestrial insects and various fish species like minnows, alewife and so on – generally what is referred to as bait fish. Where bait fish are available in large numbers, Cutthroat Trout become piscivorous as adults, which means that they primarily feed on fish. Westslope Cutthroat Food Preferences The Westslope Cutthroat Trout food preferences differ considerably between most Cutthroat Trout in that both adults and young cutthroats consume insects, both aquatic and terrestrial as well as crustaceans like crayfish. Coastal Cutthroat Trout Food Preferences Unlike the Westslope Cutthroat Trout, the Coastal Cutthroat Trout eats pretty much anything it can find from small fish, insects, worms, leeches, crustaceans and so on. This has proved to be great for anglers because they were so easy to catch from California all the way up to Alaska. However, this turned out to be a very bad thing for the Coastal Cutthroat Trout as its numbers have crashed to a fraction of what they used to be. Changes in their habitat also contributed to a decrease in their numbers.adult Cutthroats will feed on muddler Lake-Bound Coastal Cutthroat Trout Lake-bound Cutthroat Trout are no different in their food preferences than the sea-run cutthroats."

A few years ago, you had to know where to look (in a health store, maybe on one of the coasts), but now you can find then in gas stations and Wal-Marts across the country. But, for the uninitiated, kombucha can be intimidating, and it may have a lot to do with how the fermenting process happens. Tea, sugar, and water are left to ferment with SCOBY, an acronym, that stands for symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. If you've ever looked at a picture of SCOBY, it can look like a creature of the deep from a low-budget horror movie. And, despite the fact that we eat a lot of fermented foods without thinking about it, \"\"fermented tea\"\" may 'bucha beginners pause. Advertisement To learn more about kombucha, and why it's not nearly as scary as it sounds, we chatted with Daina Trout, the founder of Health-Ade Kombucha. Trout started the business in her own home, brewing kombucha first for her friends and neighbors, then for friends of friends, and eventually selling out at a local farmer's market. Today, Health-Ade is still made the same way you'd make kombucha at home: in a glass jar, fermented for up to three weeks. The fermentation process makes the drink naturally fizzy as well, and the different flavors (like Trout's favorite, pomegranate) are added at the end with fresh juices."

This is a device which is plugged into a telephone line so that deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired (and others) can type up to 30 characters and carry on a conversation rather than by voice. Some of these devices are \"\"free standing\"\" also. For the system to work directly there must be a TDD at both ends of the conversation. If there is not, there is a way that a TDD (TTY) user can connect with an intermediary who transfers what is typed to voice. That way, disabled customers have a wider spectrum of activities and independence. A person with a normal telephone who wants to speak with a deaf/disabled friend or business can contact the intermediary and have voice transmitted to text as well.askt4 · 9 years ago3 0 Comment Tty Definition Source (s):https://shrinks.im/a8Ekjsouders · 1 year ago0 0 Comment It actually means teletype. What it really does is that the deaf can communicate over the phone using one of these keyboard units and it uses the same method of transmission that they did years ago on much slower equipment. Instead of a person answering that number by voice, they have another machine and they can communicate with each other using that.

TTY, also known as Text Telephone Device or Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), is a special device required at both ends of the conversation that enables people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired to use the telephone to communicate. TTY works by allowing people to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening."

"text": "Grocery Stores Q. Are grocery stores required to have TTYs (Tele TYpewriters)? A. No. For making calls to or receiving calls from customers with hearing or speech impairments who use TTYs, grocery stores will be able to rely on the relay systems that telephone companies must establish by July 26, 1993. Operators employed by relay systems will relay communications between TTY-users and people using conventional telephones. Only those businesses that allow their customers or clients to make outgoing calls on more than an incidental convenience basis must provide TTYs. Grocery stores can ensure effective communication by telling staff who answer the telephone to anticipate incoming calls through the relay services. Handling these calls may take longer because an operator at the relay system will be receiving typed communications from the caller and will also be using the relay system equipment to type communications from the grocery store staff person to the caller. Training should be undertaken as soon as possible because at least 40 states already offer some type of relay service. A TTY is relatively inexpensive, however, usually costing about $275 and would be welcome service for customers with hearing or speech impairments. Businesses with TTYs should list their telephone number followed by “Voice/TTY” in any publications or advertisements to signify that customers can communicate with them by voice or TTY."

Carrier native SMS is that feature provided by the carrier, and not a third party texting or messaging application (app) that may be installed on the mobile device. The SMS interim text-to-9-1-1 service provides support for wireless subscribers to send 9-1-1 SMS text messages to PSAPs and for subscribers to receive text replies from PSAPs. Wireless customers with SMS service are able to send emergency SMS messages to a PSAP by using the single code “911” as the destination address of the SMS message. According to the National Organization on Disability (2007), there are an estimated 54 million individuals with a disability in the United States, which has a total population of more than 300 million. Over 37 million individuals are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability. In December 2012, an agreement was reached among the largest four wireless carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon), NENA, and APCO to provide a nationwide, interim SMS text-to-9-1-1 solution by May 15, 2014."

"text": "\"Questions and Answers for Parties to Mediation: Mediation and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)prepared jointly by the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission National Council on Disability U. S. Department of Justice Introduction The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) make it unlawful to discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability. ( 1) This guide helps individuals with disabilities and their representatives understand their rights and responsibilities when mediating equal employment opportunity (EEO) disputes. Although this guide focuses on mediation, information about the ADA and reasonable accommodation principles will generally also apply to other types of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), such as conciliation, early neutral evaluation, or settlement conferences. Facts About Mediation of EEO Disputes If you have an EEO dispute with your employer, you may be offered mediation services by your employer, by a private organization, or by a government agency, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Mediation can often resolve the dispute more quickly and inexpensively than investigation or litigation. Mediation may be offered at any point in the dispute process, including after you have filed a formal charge of discrimination with an administrative agency, or after you have filed a lawsuit. Mediation is an informal, confidential process for resolving disputes by using an impartial third-party (the mediator) who meets with the employer and employee. The mediator has no decision-making authority, but rather tries to assist the parties to resolve their dispute. Participation in mediation does not constitute an admission of any violation of the laws enforced by EEOC. Sometimes mediation is the best way to preserve or build a better working or parting relationship."

PSFTP differs from PSCP in the following ways: PSCP should work on virtually every SSH server. PSFTP uses the new SFTP protocol, which is a feature of SSH 2 only. ( PSCP will also use this protocol if it can, but there is an SSH 1 equivalent it can fall back to if it cannot. ) PSFTP allows you to run an interactive file transfer session, much like the Windows ftp program. You can list the contents of directories, browse around the file system, issue multiple get and put commands, and eventually log out. By contrast, PSCP is designed to do a single file transfer operation and immediately terminate.6.1 Starting PSFTPThe usual way to start PSFTP is from a command prompt, much like PSCP. To do this, it will need either to be on your PATH or in your current directory. To add the directory containing PSFTP to your PATH environment variable, type into the console window:set PATH=C:\\path\\to\\putty\\directory;%PATH%Unlike PSCP, however, PSFTP has no complex command-line syntax; you just specify a host name and perhaps a user name:psftp server.example.comor perhapspsftp [email protected] Alternatively, if you just type psftp on its own (or double-click the PSFTP icon in the Windows GUI), you will see the PSFTP prompt, and a message telling you PSFTP has not connected to any server: C:\\>psftp psftp: no hostname specified; use \"\"open host.name\"\" to connect psftp>At this point you can type open server.example.com or open [email protected] to start a session."

Access is required to, not fully within, work areas in part because the ADA (title I) treats access for employees with disabilities as an accommodation made when the need arises. Employee spaces used for purposes other than job-related tasks (breakrooms, lounges, parking, shower and locker rooms, etc.) are considered \"\"common use\"\" and are required to be fully accessible. Work areas that also function as public use space, such as patient exam rooms, must be fully accessible for public access; fixtures and controls within used only by employees are not required to comply. In a health care facility for example, spaces used by the public typically include waiting and reception areas, exam and diagnostic rooms, doctors’ offices, and restrooms. Breakrooms and employee restrooms are considered common use areas and are required to be fully accessible although restrooms serving the individual of a specific space, such as a doctor’s office, are permitted to be \"\"adaptable\"\" (i.e., designed so that certain elements can be added or altered for access after construction). Areas used only by employees as work areas include business or administrative offices and the receptionist side of counters, research facilities, supply rooms and laboratories. Work areas must be accessible for \"\"approach, entry, and exit,\"\" which means location on an accessible route so that people using wheelchairs can enter and back out of the space. This includes accessible entry doors or gates."

What kinds of discrimination are against state law in California? The California Fair Employment and Housing Act makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status of any person.. Workplace discrimination against people predisposed to a genetic hereditary disease is also illegal, as is testing employees for genetic characteristics. California law also addresses “English-only” policies. An employer cannot limit or prohibit employees from using any language in the workplace unless there is a business necessity for the restriction. Also, employees must be notified of the circumstances and times when language is restricted and the consequences of violating the restriction. See language discrimination. California antidiscrimination law is often written or interpreted more broadly than federal law, especially in the areas of disability discrimination and sexual harassment. Unlike federal law, coworkers who are not supervisors can be sued and held personally responsible for unlawful workplace harassment.

"text": "Have you ever wondered why some USB devices used /dev/tty USB0 (or 1, or n) and others /dev/tty ACM0 (or 1, or n) when they are plugged into the host computer, while they seem to be acting as UART devices ( RS-232 -like) over USB in both cases? Have you wondered why example USB firmwares for microcontrollers always end up with names such as /dev/tty ACM0 and never as /dev/tty USB0? Warning: this is a Linux specific post, although it also contains genuine pieces of USB culture. What does tty ACM mean? The USB implementors forum organization has described how devices conforming to the Communications Device Class (CDC) should present themselves to the USB host. The USB implementors forum also specified how CDC subclasses should act, including for those devices intended to talk with each other over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Those are known as modems because the data goes through a modulation operation on the sending side, which transforms the bits into analog signals that can be carried over phone wires, and then through a demodulation operation on the receiving side to convert the analog signal back into the original bits. To discuss with the modem, the host USB driver must use one of the existing control models. For example, the direct line control model controls how data is exchanged between the host and the modem through an audio class interface, with the host taking charge of the modulation, demodulation, data compression (such as V.42bis) and error correction (such as V.42). This model is used by some USB soft modems, which are very cheap because they mostly contain a DSP chip and some amplification and line adaptation layers."

For extreme detail and reference purposes, chapter 4 is likely to contain more information.3.1 During your session A lot of Pu TTY's complexity and features are in the configuration panel. Once you have worked your way through that and started a session, things should be reasonably simple after that. Nevertheless, there are a few more useful features available.3.1.1 Copying and pasting text Often in a Pu TTY session you will find text on your terminal screen which you want to type in again. Like most other terminal emulators, Pu TTY allows you to copy and paste the text rather than having to type it again. Also, copy and paste uses the Windows clipboard, so that you can paste (for example) URLs into a web browser, or paste from a word processor or spreadsheet into your terminal session. Pu TTY's copy and paste works entirely with the mouse. In order to copy text to the clipboard, you just click the left mouse button in the terminal window, and drag to select text. When you let go of the button, the text is automatically copied to the clipboard. You do not need to press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Ins; in fact, if you do press Ctrl-C, Pu TTY will send a Ctrl-C character down your session to the server where it will probably cause a process to be interrupted."

If you have an SSH 2 server, you might prefer PSFTP (see chapter 6) for interactive use. PSFTP does not in general work with SSH 1 servers, however. Section 5.1: Starting PSCPPSCP is a command line application. This means that you cannot just double-click on its icon to run it and instead you have to bring up a console window. With Windows 95, 98, and ME, this is called an \"\"MS-DOS Prompt\"\" and with Windows NT and 2000 it is called a \"\"Command Prompt\"\". It should be available from the Programs section of your Start Menu. To start PSCP it will need either to be on your PATH or in your current directory. To add the directory containing PSCP to your PATH environment variable, type into the console window:set PATH=C:\\path\\to\\putty\\directory;%PATH%This will only work for the lifetime of that particular console window. To set your PATH more permanently on Windows NT, use the Environment tab of the System Control Panel."

Getty Images/Lynne Stone/Design Pics Box turtles are omnivores which means they will eat a variety of both animal and plant-based foods. The proportions of animal versus plant-based food items will depend on both the age and the species of box turtle that you are feeding. Generally, hatchlings and juvenile box turtles are more carnivorous than adults, which are typically more herbivorous, and species' diets also vary. Vegetables and Fruits to Feed to Box Turtles A wide variety of fruits and vegetables should be offered to your box turtle daily in order to provide a balanced diet. Items should be clean and pesticide free and some people strongly recommend feeding only organic items. Particular attention should be paid to the calcium and phosphorus balance in the items in the diet to prevent metabolic bone disease. Aim for at least a 1:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorous (up to 2:1) but the importance of this ratio in each individual item is not as important as the overall balance. Feeding a wide variety of items with the emphasis on those items with a good calcium to phosphorus ratio is the best way to maintain a healthy diet. Referring to a table of many different vegetables and fruits with their calcium to phosphorus ratios makes it easy to know what the ratios are of what you are feeding."

As they age, painted turtles chomp on vegetables like green beans, carrots and even sweet potatoes. They also enjoy fruits like apples, bananas and berries. As adults, painted turtles don't need to be fed quite as often, and one feeding every other day is considered normal for this pet."

For example, the Leatherback sea turtle can hold its breath for up to 7 hours at a time. On the other hand, the common musk turtle has eliminated its need to resurface by developing special cells on its tongue called papillae that allow it to separate oxygen from the water while the turtle is submerged."

Each species has slightly different requirements, but proper care is within the capabilities of most people. That said, taking in a turtle means you’re into pet-care for the long haul. Any pet needs consistent care for his or her entire natural lifetime. That might be a couple years for a guppy or thirty years for a horse or eighty years for some of the parrots.

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

Although turtle-care isn’t too difficult, it’s essential that their environment be well maintained, said Dr. Stewart Colby, DVM and founder of Windward Animal Hospital in Johns Creek, Georgia. “In general, turtles spend most of their life in the water and thus need an environment that has water to swim in and a place to climb out if they so choose,” he said. If you've ever wondered how to take care of a pet turtle, or you already have one but want to brush up on your turtle parenting skills, consider this your turtle tutorial. Turtle Terminology and Types of Turtles Let’s start with a quick explanation on the difference between a turtle and a tortoise. Turtles spend most of the time in the water, while tortoises live on the land. Terrapins are also turtles, but generally split their time evenly between land and fresh water. Though there are approximately 270 types of turtles, the following types are considered ideal for beginning turtle pet parents: Red-eared sliders: a water turtle (though it does require land) that can grow to be as long as 11 inches, the red-eared slider is the most popular type of turtle to have as a pet throughout the world. Painted turtle: a colorful omnivore that can grow as long as seven inches. These are the most widespread native turtles throughout the United States."

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

"text": "A young, growing turtle has a significantly different diet from that of their full-grown brethren. Their habitat and physical form do not extensively differ from hatchling to adult, but in general a baby turtle will eat much more protein than plant matter, whereas adult turtles are omnivorous, in many cases. Tortoises remain herbivores, but vitamin control is important as hatchlings. The diet of any given turtle from birth to adulthood will depend entirely on its species -- different turtles eat different things. Box Turtles The most common land turtle in the pet trade is the box turtle. Named for their hinged shell, which they can close around their head, legs and tail, sealing themselves up like a box, box turtles as adults are omnivorous -- they eat plants and meat. As hatchlings, however, box turtles will prefer meat over greens. Baby box turtles in the wild feast on whatever insects are available to them, but in captivity, you can finely chop and feed: Mealworms Tubifex worms Chopped-up nightcrawlers and earthworms Small crickets Green lettuce Tomatoes Beans Melon, apricot or banana as a special treat Offer both meat and plant matter to your box turtle babies, once every other day. They likely will refuse all plant matter for the first 8 to 10 weeks, but they instinctively know what vitamins and minerals they need and will adjust their diet when their internal clock tells them to. Allow feeding for an hour and remove uneaten morsels to keep the area clean."

This is why many wild turtles are carnivorous when they are young and then gradually start eating plants and vegetation as they age.

Although most turtles will eat it with relish, it is almost totally lacking in any nutritive matter. Turtles become addicted to it and it is sometimes hard to get them to eat regular food. If this happens to your turtles try wrapping the new food in a small piece of lettuce. Gradually decrease the amount of lettuce wrapping until the addiction has been broken. it has no nutritional value. its just like people thinking if they eat salad all the time with regular lettuce they are eating sooo healthy. wrong... the only thing healthy about it is theres no fat, carbs, or chelestorol. hells theres nothing in lettuce."

There are many possibilities that one could explore, however consider the high likelihood that the turtle may eat what is put in their tank. Because of this I would start out cheap and not buy something expensive. Also when introducing the tank mate to the environment it may help keep it safe to feed your turtle before or during the new items release. If your turtle is hungry it is more likely to attack the new member of the tank. What Not to Put in Your Tank When thinking of tank mates many think of other animals that they would like to put with them because they think they have similar habitats in the wild or they will look cool together. When thinking of a tank mate you can take aesthetics into account but you must also realize what the tank mate's requirements are and if they could be hazardous to your turtle or your turtle hazardous to them. Many Amphibians are not a wise choice unless you are very experienced as many of them excrete toxic chemicals from their skin and have soft bodies which can be harmed by turtles. Other Reptiles are not the best decision either as turtles produce a lot of waste and could present health issues for other Reptiles. Just because animals can live in the same environment in nature doesn't mean it is wise to put them together in captivity."

[ 3] Later, the 128-bit RSA Secur ID algorithm was published as part of an open source library. [ 4] In the RSA Secur ID authentication scheme, the seed record is the secret key used to generate one-time passwords. Newer versions also feature a USB connector, which allows the token to be used as a smart card -like device for securely storing certificates. [ 5]A user authenticating to a network resource—say, a dial-in server or a firewall—needs to enter both a personal identification number and the number being displayed at that moment on their RSA Secur ID token."

The token is used in addition to or in place of a password. It acts like an electronic key to access something. Examples include a wireless keycard opening a locked door, or in the case of a customer trying to access their bank account online, the use of a bank provided token can prove that the customer is who they claim to be. Some tokens may store cryptographic keys, such as a digital signature, or biometric data, such as fingerprint details. Some may also store passwords.

Two-step verification (a.k.a. two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, or MFA) is a financial industry standard in which a user is required to provide additional verification after signing in. Often a verification code is provided to the user via text message or automated phone call. Any time you sign in to an existing Turbo Tax account on an unrecognized computer or device, we'll ask you to verify your identity first. For an additional layer of security, you can enable the verification feature each time you sign in with our two-step verification feature or the Google Authenticator app. We call this opt-in two-step verification. If you later opt out (deactivate) this feature, we'll still ask you to verify the first time you sign in on an unrecognized device.

In the HWE literature, the major communication emphasis to date has focused on the manager's responsibility to facilitate skilled communication. This article focuses on the individual nurse's responsibility to become a skilled communicator. Parse's Theory of Human Becoming is used to conceptualize a Five-Factor Model for Becoming a Skilled Communicator. These five factors include awareness of self-deception, along with reflection, authenticity, mindfulness, and candor.

Guide and Benefits.by: Omri Toppol May 23,2016If you’ve read any of our handy guides explaining what to do if you suspect someone has hacked your online accounts, such as Yahoo, Facebook, Dropbox, or others, you’ve probably noticed that we always recommend you enhance account security by setting up two-factor authentication, also referred to as 2fa or two-step verification or multi factor authentication. This security measure has been widely adopted by some of the most popular online services and is usually an opt-in feature (meaning it’s up to you whether or not you choose to use it). Trying to wrap your head around how it works? Not sure if you should use it? You’ve come to the right place. This article will explain everything. When you’re done reading, you’ll see that this feature doesn’t just make your accounts much more secure, but it’s also easy to understand and simple to implement. So, what is Two-Factor Authentication? As its name indicates, two-factor authentication focuses on the authentication process, one of the most crucial aspects of account security."

"text": "Two-factor authentication for Apple IDTwo-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID designed to ensure that you're the only person who can access your account, even if someone knows your password. How it works Manage your account Frequently asked questions How it works With two-factor authentication, your account can only be accessed on devices you trust, like your i Phone, i Pad, or Mac. When you want to sign in to a new device for the first time, you'll need to provide two pieces of information—your password and the six-digit verification code that's automatically displayed on your trusted devices. By entering the code, you're verifying that you trust the new device. For example, if you have an i Phone and are signing into your account for the first time on a newly purchased Mac, you'll be prompted to enter your password and the verification code that's automatically displayed on your i Phone. Because your password alone is no longer enough to access your account, two-factor authentication dramatically improves the security of your Apple ID and all the personal information you store with Apple. Once signed in, you won’t be asked for a verification code on that device again unless you sign out completely, erase the device, or need to change your password for security reasons. When you sign in on the web, you can choose to trust your browser, so you won’t be asked for a verification code the next time you sign in from that computer. Trusted devices A trusted device is an i Phone, i Pad, or i Pod touch with i OS 9 and later, or a Mac with OS X El Capitan and later that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser."

"text": "What Is Identity Management (IDM)? The explosive growth of the cloud and, in particular, Software-as-a-Service (Saa S) applications like those becoming popular in the collaboration or project management space has changed the way companies do business. Deploying software as a managed service delivered via the cloud means lower maintenance costs, increased uptime, faster feature rollout, and the reduced need for on-site hardware. Those are just some of the reasons why cloud-based Saa S solutions are making deep and fast inroads to tasks that were formerly dominated solely by in-house IT staff. But to fully realize the savings offered by Saa S apps, businesses need a way to easily create and manage users (aka, identities) across their entire portfolio of cloud apps—portfolios that usually span multiple platforms and can change often. IT administrators need to give users Single Sign-On (SSO) capability across the organization's entire portfolio of apps, but that's only part of the problem. Controlling the depth of access in Saa S apps is just as important as it is for on-premises apps. So not just who gets access to the app, but exactly what they can access once they're using that app. This can be critical in many business apps, as is defining the user's role, cross-app authentication, and more advanced security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), which refers to building authentication mechanisms that require more than just a single step, like entering a user name and password, but also require additional steps, such as a physical token of some kind (a smart card or USB stick, for example) or a biometric measure (a fingerprint scan, for instance). Equally as important is the management of existing Identity Providers (IDPs) such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or human resources (HR) software."

"text": "\"Trend Micro’s one-time password (OTP)-based two-factor authentication bypass report (PDF) is hardly news to those in the tech world, but it is well-packaged and even branded with a weird name - Operation Emmental (also known as Swiss cheese) - how media-ready!The story is the same: Good ol’ phishing email pretending to be from a real bank contains malware in an embedded attachment. When clicked, the file downloads and executes another file pretending to be a Windows update - instead, it installs malware!That malware does a few things - changes DNS settings and redirects to the attacker’s servers; installs a new SSL certificate in the user’s system; and deletes itself without leaving a trace (rendering anti-malware software useless after the fact). When users attempt to visit their bank’s landing page, they get redirected to a fake bank page that steals their username/password. Then, they’re asked to type in the one-time password (OTP) sent by their bank’s mobile app - but, the SMS never arrives, so then the website prompts the user to install a malicious mobile app that’s pretending to be an OTP generator. Whew. This malicious Android app actually intercepts the real two-factor SMS tokens sent by the bank, thereby gaining access to the user’s account and stealing all their monies. A History of OTP-Based Bypass Malware Back in March, I wrote about the research of Dell Secure Works that presented their work, Cryptocurrency-Stealing Malware Landscape at this year’s RSA Conference in San Francisco. While this was referring to online banking wallets for currencies like Bitcoin, it also holds true for traditional online banking. A quote from their report found the same thing, that malware can bypass OTP-based two-factor, albeit with a slightly different approach: Many exchanges have implemented two-factor authentication using one-time PINs to combat unauthorized logins. However, more advanced malware can easily bypass OTP-based 2FA, by intercepting the OTP as it is used and creating a second hidden browser window in order to log the thief into the account from the user’s own computer."

ACTION: Interim Final Rule with Request for Comment. SUMMARY: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is revising its regulations to provide practitioners with the option of writing prescriptions for controlled substances electronically. The regulations will also permit pharmacies to receive, dispense, and archive these electronic prescriptions. These regulations are in addition to, not a replacement of, the existing rules. The regulations provide pharmacies, hospitals, and practitioners with the ability to use modern technology for controlled substance prescriptions while maintaining the closed system of controls on controlled substances dispensing; additionally, the regulations will reduce paperwork for DEA registrants who dispense controlled substances and have the potential to reduce prescription forgery. The regulations will also have the potential to reduce the number of prescription errors caused by illegible handwriting and misunderstood oral prescriptions. Moreover, they will help both pharmacies and hospitals to integrate prescription records into other medical records more directly, which may increase efficiency, and potentially reduce the amount of time patients spend waiting to have their prescriptions filled. DATES: This rule has been classified as a major rule subject to Congressional review."

The three types of controls are as follows: Administrative: These controls are composed of the policies and procedures the organization has put in place to prevent problems and to ensure that the technical and physical controls are known, understood, and implemented. Technical: These controls are used to control access and monitor potential violations. They may be either hardware- or software-based. Physical: These control systems are used to protect the welfare and safety of the employees and the organization. Physical controls include such items as smoke alarms, security guards, cameras, and mantraps. Answer: B. Authentication can take one of three forms: something you know, something you have, or something you are. Something you are, such as biometrics, is by far the strongest form of authentication. Systems such as retina and iris scans have high levels of accuracy. The accuracy of a biometric device can be assessed by means of the crossover error rate.

Take a look at some of the weak passwords exposed in website breaches this year, and judge for yourself. The frequent usage of weak passwords such as \"\"changeme,\"\" \"\"123abc,\"\" and \"\"Pa$$w0rd\"\" (real-life examples uncovered in the recent breach and defacement of a security software vendor's website) are a strong indicator that enterprise organizations might be well-advised to consider a shift to new mechanisms for secure authentication that are more resistant to subversion by careless end-users. Weak passwords are a problem because they are easy to guess – and they are certainly no match for brute-force password attacks by criminals using automated password cracking software such as John the Ripper. One way to beef up the security of your authentication process is to force users to create long, complex passwords, but such enforcement comes at the risk of employees writing the passwords down – thereby defeating the attempt to increase security. A better method is to adopt a two-factor authentication system. To authenticate, users have to supply a password (\"\"something they know\"\") as well as information from a second factor – typically \"\"something they have,\"\" such as a one-time password generator token. The Biometric Advantage Of course, one-time password tokens can be lost as well as potentially hacked, so relying on \"\"something they have\"\" is not always a foolproof approach. Instead, an even more secure two-factor system can be based on \"\"something they are\"\" – that is, biometric information derived from measurable biological or behavioral characteristics. Common biological characteristics used for enterprise authentication are fingerprints, palm or finger vein patterns, iris features, and voice or face patterns."

Yellow lines are used between lanes of traffic in opposite directions. A solid white line can be crossed, but you are discouraged to cross over this line. A double white line is not supposed to be crossed. It is equivalent to having a raised curb or median in the way. The lines would be dashed where cars are allowed to enter or exit the HOV lane. Double white lines are often used to separate general purpose traffic, often single occupancy vehicle traffic, from High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) traffic where these lanes are used. The following is out of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)."

Measuring The Stars Brightness : Distance : Luminosity : Surface Temperatures : Mass : Size : Density Introduction The stars appear in the sky as twinkling points of light of varying brightness and colours. Unlike the Moon or the planets, no surface or features are visible on the stars even through very powerful telescopes. Even so, astronomers have been able to determine many of the properties of the stars simply by studying the light reaching the Earth. In this series of essays we shall examine how this was done. We will look at how the following can be determined for a star: Brightness Distance Luminosity Surface Temperature Mass Size (Radius)We will also touch on other stellar properties that can be determined: Density Chemical Composition Magnetic Properties Rotation Brightness and Apparent Magnitude A glance at the night sky is enough to show that the stars are of differing brightness. In astronomy, brightness is measured by the apparent magnitude scale. This is a system that uses the stars themselves as standards rather than using energy units. The magnitude scale was developed by the Ancient Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, around 120 BC. It was originally a rough visual system."

First is explained how light is built up and why we actually see different colors. Then a some color models are explained: first the RGB color model used by computers, and examples showing how to do color arithmetics in RGB, and then the more intuitive HSL/HSV models are explained. Then code is given that allows you to convert between color models, for example to allow a user to pick a color using the HSV color model and then convert it to RGB so the computer can use it, or to create rainbow gradients, or to change the color of images. Light Before starting about color models, it's important to know how the human eye and brain turn light into color. Light itself is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are similar to sound waves in that they contain different frequencies, but are electromagnetic and can propagate in vacuum. EM waves are thus a signal that's made out of one or more frequencies, for example the EM waves used by a microwave oven are very high frequency, while radio waves are very low frequency. The eye is only sensitive to a very narrow band of frequencies, namely the frequencies between 429 THz and 750 THz (1 THz = 1 Tera Hertz = 10^12 Hz). All other EM waves can't be seen."

I have not yet found any track that does not have some weird exception that needs to be explained so I will have to show one of those as an example.

The different kinds of yellow and white lines on road signify the whether overtaking is permitted or not. Broken white lines indicate that one is allowed to change lane but with caution. Solid white line, which are also known as barrier line, indicates that the lane must not be changed. A broken yellow line also signifies that overtaking is allowed but with caution. A solid yellow line also indicate that overtaking or passing is allowed but without crossing the line. The rules may differ in different countries. Solid double lines which are painted yellow or white, indicate that neither stream of traffic is allowed to cross the lines. They are used where visibility is restricted in both directions. One solid yellow line with a broken yellow line indicates that the person driving on the side of the broken line can overtake other vehicles while the person driving on the side of the solid yellow line can not overtake."

Be aware that all electrical wires, regardless of their function, could carry an electrical current at some point, so treat all wires with equal caution.

Check out this detailed illustration that explains each wire's color and purpose: Common color codes used in electrical wiring. ( Illustration by Brandon Smith)Black Black electrical wire is used for power in all circuits. Any circuit's black wire should be considered hot or live. Black wire is never used for a ground or neutral wire and should be used as the power feed for a switch or an outlet.

"text": "\"Aviation Pilot Careers Airport and Runway Lighting Systems Explained Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Sarina Houston Updated November 11, 2017If you've been to any major airport at night, you may have noticed that there are a lot of different kinds of lights, ranging from flashing white or pulsating yellow to steady red and even blue. Airport lighting is obviously important for aircraft operating at night, but why do we need so many types? And what do all the colors mean? Airport lights can be divided into different types: General airport lighting, taxiway lighting, runway lighting, and approach light systems. General Airport Lighting General airport lighting usually includes the airport beacon and any white or red beacon lights on top of towers, buildings, and construction equipment. The airport beacon is a large, powerful rotating light that's highly visible from miles away. Public use airport beacons rotate green and white. Military airports rotate green and white but have two white lights for each green light, which differentiate them from civilian airports. And heliports rotate between green, white and yellow lights. Pilots flying cross-country can easily identify an airport at night from its beacon, making it one of the easiest checkpoints for pilots when navigating at night."

The very nature of operating a train and a train yard means that you have to have a means of communication. During the days of steam locomotives and early diesel, the noise and distance involved with train operations pretty much ruled out speaking or yelling, especially since common radio devices weren't yet available. Any device used would also have to be portable, since those working on the line were constantly on the move. While flags and semaphores might work during the day, how about at night?

"text": "Should You Take Probiotics With Antibiotics? Antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your gut, leaving your body defenseless against harmful pathogens like the fast-growing Candida albicans. After a course of antibiotics, this yeast can quickly come to dominate your small intestine, resulting in the illness that we know as Candida Related Complex, or Candida overgrowth. Taking probiotics before, during, and after your course of antibiotics can help to maintain the balance in your digestive system. Many Candida sufferers question this, thinking that the antibiotics will quickly kill the good bacteria in the probiotics. However, studies have shown probiotics to be remarkably effective during antibiotics. How Can Probiotics Help? A course of strong antibiotics can kill virtually all the bacteria in your digestive system, eliminating the competition and clearing the path for fast-growing Candida (or another pathogen) to fill the gap. Taking probiotics during your antibiotic treatment can help to slow the growth of Candida by filling your gut with beneficial, healthful bacteria. As the probiotics maintain the balance in your gut, they also reduce the common side effects of the antibiotics."

You will never completely get rid of candida, it's a naturally occurring yeast that is fine in small amounts. The problem is whatever killed off enough good bacteria in your system to allow the candida to go apeshit in your system. There are a lot of possible causes of this, antibiotics is always a factor either directly or by eating food that is contaminated with antibiotics, but there are many other factors as well, like eating too much of certain foods that encourage yeast growth over time. Getting rid of excess candida consists of an overall strategy of creating conditions in your body that favor the good bacteria that keep yeasts and other fungi in check, and getting rid of the influences that are making your system vulnerable to this imbalance.

If you have H pylori, you may find that you can’t find a solution to your symptoms unless you also alter your diet as well. These days, with all our medical technology, we seem to always be seeking a complex solution to our problems, but simply avoiding exposure to things that our bodies don’t like has been shown in research to be the single biggest factor in healing. If you avoid the foods I mention in this article, I absolutely guarantee that 50% of you or more will experience enormous benefits. I can’t wait to share the information with you…It is now common knowledge that triple therapy antibiotic treatments are becoming less effective in treating H pylori, leading to more treatment failures and confusion as to what should happen once the treatment has failed. Even when treatments for H pylori are successful, there is no guarantee that symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, IBS, bloating, fatigue and headaches will go away. The reason for this is simple: even when H pylori is present, other things can cause your symptoms, which means that even when you eradicate H pylori, you still don’t feel well. Unfortunately, diet is rarely considered in these situations, but in actual fact, common foods that are consumed on a daily basis by many people can cause exactly the same symptoms as the Helicobacter bacteria itself. Some symptoms can be relieved completely when these foods are avoided: Food #1 – Gluten Gluten refers to a group of protein molecules found in the grains wheat, barley, rye and spelt. All foods that contain these grains have gluten in them (e.g. bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits, cereals, pizza)."

"text": "Foods To Avoid On The Candida Diet Treating your Candida means making some changes to your eating habits and lifestyle. The Foods To Avoid list contains the foods that are most troublesome for Candida sufferers. These include sugary fruits, glutinous grains, caffeinated drinks, and moldy nuts. In our Ultimate Candida Diet program, we have divided foods into YES, MAYBE, and NO lists. The NO list contains foods that you absolutely need to avoid during your treatment, and some of those are listed in the table below. The YES list contains foods that you can eat without any worry, while the MAYBE list contains foods that are OK for some people but not for others. Some of the foods in the NO list provide energy directly to the Candida colonies. Others weaken your immune system and reduce your body’s ability to fight off infection. And there are also foods that affect your digestive system, for example by slowing it down or irritating the intestinal membrane. If you really want to beat your Candida infestation for good, give yourself the best chance possible by avoiding all these foods."

Respiratory infections? Gum disease? Ear infections? Digestive problems? Chances are you are suffering from an overgrowth of Candida, the most prevalent fungal infection. There are four types of infections we suffer from: bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal (though an argument could be made that fungal infections are parasitic). Too often we assume that our bronchial infection is bacterial. We take ineffective antibiotics that kill off more of the beneficial bacteria in our gut and allow Candida to thrive. We feed yeast with an unhealthy diet filled with sugar and simple carbohydrates."

Some estimate that about 50 million American children are infected with worm parasites, only a small portion of which are detected and reported.

So, we have done the research for you and come up with the three most effective natural cures for candida symptoms, including hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar, and caprylic acid. What are the Candida Symptoms? Candida is a fungus that is a form of yeast and is naturally present in small amounts in the mouth and intestines. The yeast aids in digestion and nutrient absorption; however, when it is overproduced in the body, it can be extremely detrimental to your health, causing issues that range from digestive problems to depression. If you think you may have candida, consider a few of these common symptoms. Frequent skin and nail infections, fatigue, digestive issues such as bloating or constipation, autoimmune disease, difficulty concentrating, irritability, vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, severe seasonal allergies, and strong sugar or carbohydrate cravings are all signs you may have candida.

"text": "Jan 2454Why would I want to drink fermented cabbage juice? It might seem to be yucky, but it actually tastes pretty good and it is super protective and rich with easily available nutrients. In the digestion and absorption of cabbage (cruciferous family of vegetables), many compounds are created in the digestive tract that are anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and protective of the cells of the colon. I like to make fermented cabbage juice in the spring and fall and drink it with meals for a week or so. I rotate it with my other tonics: Ginger Beet Kvass Ginger-Tumeric Tonic Vitamin UIn naturopathic medicine, it is common knowledge that vitamin U is the compound in cabbage juice that has tremendous healing properties. Much like Dr. Price’s X Factor (identified as vitamin K2), it has since been identified as S methylmethionine (SMM). Between 1948 – 1950, Dr. Garnett Cheney, professor of medicine at Stanford Medical School, performed several studies indicating that the most common source of SMM is found in the leaves of green cabbage. He further hypothesized that fresh raw cabbage juice may be able to significantly increase the rate of healing in patients suffering with gastrointestinal ulceration, acid reflux, stomach pain, skin ulcers, and ulcers in the digestive tract. It may also control diabetes, and strengthen the immune system. Raw Cabbage Juice for Ulcers Dr. Cheny did quite a few studies ( here, here and here are just a few of the studies he published) that indicated the efficacy of using fresh raw cabbage juice to treat ulcers of many kinds."

It began in my abdomen, near my collar bones, and my lower back. It was only slightly itchy (I’ve attached a few pictures that I took from that time showing what it looked like as it was beginning). Over time it gradually spread to cover much of my trunk (unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of this), but it looked like this. I thought it might’ve been related to a viral infection or something (even though I never felt sick), because I know that sometimes certain virus’ can give you rashes (the general term for this is a ‘ viral examthem ‘). When it didn’t go away after two weeks, I figured I should get myself checked out by a dermatologist. He diagnosed me with a skin condition called ‘ pityriasis rosea .’ This is a condition that presents with a rash that only covers the trunk (exactly like mine), but the cause is unknown. No treatment is really needed, and it is supposed to go away by itself in 5-8 weeks. One of the questions the dermatologist asked me was whether there was any thing new in my life."

An informal grouping of primitive, mainly aquatic plants that possesses chlorophyll a as their primary photosynthetic pigment and can manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Plant body (thallus) do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple reproductive structures. They never produce multicellular embryos inside the female reproductive organ. There are unicellular (e.g. planktons) and multicellular (e.g. seaweeds) algae found in freshwater (e.g. lakes and rivers), marine (e.g. sea) and terrestrial (e.g. moist pavements) habitats. < The study of algae is termed phycology or algology, and one who studies algae is known as a phycologist. Classification of algae :- Algae belong to Domain-Eukarya and Kingdom - Protista (Protoctista). In 1959 American biologist R. H. Whittaker described a classification system of five primary kingdoms: plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Because the Protista are so diverse in form, classification within the kingdom has proved difficult. The classification of the Protista is currently based largely on the structure and organization of the cell, the presence of organelles, and the pattern of reproduction or life cycles."

The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division. Cell division functions in reproduction, growth, and repair. The division of a unicellular organism reproduces an entire organism, increasing the population. Cell division on a larger scale can produce progeny for some multicellular organisms. This includes organisms that can grow by cuttings. Cell division enables a multicellular organism to develop from a single fertilized egg or zygote. In a multicellular organism, cell division functions to repair and renew cells that die from normal wear and tear or accidents. Cell division is part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two. Concept 12.1 Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells Cell division requires the distribution of identical genetic material—DNA—to two daughter cells."

In terms of DNA content, or the amount of DNA, the daughter cells are identical to the parent. If the term “identical” is used to represent what the daughter cells will eventually do or become, then the answer is less clear. In organisms, mitosis is a way to produce two daughter cells that will have different functions or become different cell types. In either case, the daughter cells still have the same amount of DNA as the parent cell. However, mitosis is also a way to produce two daughter cells that will grow to become the same cell type that performs the same functions. Cytoplasmic Determinants Even though two daughter cells have the same amount of DNA as the parent cell, they may each become completely different cell types. This is because certain molecules are unequally distributed between the daughter cells during mitosis."

Let teachers know you need one by requesting it Request a video 0Help us find a video Key Questions What are haploid cells? Answer: Haploid cells are cells that have a single set of chromosomes. Explanation: A haploid cell has a single set of chromosomes. In eukaryotes, cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. One set comes from each parent. In animals, including humans, haploid cells are the sperm and egg cells or the gametes. Haploid cells are the result of meiosis. Kate M. · 1 · 2 comments · Mar 16 2018What is a diploid organism?

"text": "\"Previous (Sponge) Next (Sport)In biology, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersion and survival for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi, and some protozoans. They are typically unicellular and haploid, being produced by meiosis. Being units of asexual reproduction, spores do not combine with other spores, but directly form new haploid organisms. ( See spore formation and life cycles below. ) In addition to being reproductive structures, the term spore may also refer to the dormant stage of some bacteria or archaea; however, these more correctly are known as endospores and are not truly spores in the sense discussed in this article. The term spore can also be loosely applied to some animal resting stages. Spores' chief advantage is that, of all forms of progeny, spores require the least energy and materials to produce. In the case of spore-shedding vascular plants, such as ferns, wind distribution of very light spores provides great capacity for dispersal. Also, spores are less subject to animal predation than seeds because they contain almost no food reserve."

Mitosis is a form of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell. Mitosis plays an important part in the life cycle of most living things, though to varying extents. In unicellular organisms such as bacteria, mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction, making identical copies of a single cell. In multicellular organisms, mitosis produces more cells for growth and repair. The importance of mitosis for the individual is influenced by whether it is single-celled or multicellular organism. Mitosis Makes Identical Cells As a form of cell division, mitosis is distinctively important in that it produces two exact copies of the original cell. This means that each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes, the same genetic code and, ultimately, the same function and characteristics as the original cell. Mitosis occurs in non-sex cells, since sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, must have only half the genetic material of the original cell. Sex cells are made through a different form of cell division called meiosis."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Botany Describe three kinds of asexual reproduction exhibited by fungi.? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: : Binary fission Many single-celled organisms (unicellular), such as archaea, bacteria, and protists, reproduce asexually through binary fission. An exception to the rule are unicellular fungi such as fission yeast, unicellular algae such as Chlamydomonas, and ciliates and some other protists, which reproduce both sexually and asexually. Some single-celled organisms (unicellular) rely on one or more host organisms in order to reproduce, but most literally divide into two organisms. Budding Some cells split via budding (for example baker's yeast), resulting in a 'mother' and 'daughter' cell. The offspring organism is smaller than the parent. Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully matured individuals which eventually break away from the parent organism. Vegetative reproduction Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction found in plants where new independent individuals are formed without the production of seeds or spores. Examples for vegetative reproduction include the formation of plantlets on specialized leaves (for example in kalanchoe), the growth of new plants out of rhizomes or stolons (for example in strawberry), or the formation of new bulbs (for example in tulips)."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics Why do unicellular organisms go through mitosis? Flag Why do unicellular organisms go through mitosis? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Cells of multicellular organisms (most plants & animals) go through mitosis in order to increase the number of cells in the body so that the body may develop initially, develop in later stages of life, and repair itself. The latter function, in most plants and some animals, may include regenerating (re-growing) a lost body part, such as an arm of a starfish. Unicellular organisms (e.g. bacteria, yeast, some fungi) undergo mitosis as their means of reproduction. Instead of \"\"having children\"\" or \"\"laying eggs\"\" the single-celled organism simply divides itself into 2 single-celled organisms. Meiosis is undergone by male germ cells in species which reproduce sexually (rather than asexually) in order to form sperm or pollen cells and by germ cells of females of the same species in order to form egg cells. When the sperm and egg (or pollen and egg) unite then a new cell with the same whole number of chromosomes as the parents is formed and this new cell develops into an individual of the species2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Fungi spread easily by the production of asexual spores. In organisms like yeast and hydra budding is the way of reproduction. In flat worms like P lanarians reproduction is by fragmentation. Unicellular organisms like bacteria and unicellular algae reproduce by increasing the number of cells by cell division. Most of the prokaryotes reproduce asexually without the formation of gametes, while processes like conjugation, transformation and transduction are regarded as sexual reproduction. In multicellular organisms, asexual reproduction is very rare."

The main difference between sensory and motor neurons is that sensory neurons carry signals from receptors to the spinal cord and brain whereas motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to effector organs. Key Areas Covered1. What are Sensory Neurons– Definition, Structure, Characteristics, Function2. What are Motor Neurons– Definition, Structure, Characteristics, Function3. What is the difference between Sensory and Motor Neurons– Comparison of Key Differences Key Terms: Sensory neurons, Five Senses, Motor neurons, Lower motor neurons, Upper motor neurons, Somatic motor neurons, autonomic motor neurons What are Sensory Neurons Sensory neurons are the afferent neurons which are responsible for converting external stimuli into internal electrical impulse."

How would the resting membrane potential be altered if there were a lower than normal concentration of sodium ions in the extracellular fluid? During depolarization, sodium (Na) rushes into the neuron through Na channels (at the Nodes of Ranvier between the bundles of myelin \"\"insulation\"\"). Less Na in the extracellular fluid would mean there would be less to rush in. So, the neuron would not be depolarized as well. The resting... What does your brain do that animals cannot do?

There are two cells in the body that are not round. Nerve cells and muscle cells are long and skinny and that’s why they are called nerve fibers and muscle fibers. Both of them have the general characteristic of excitability and conductibility (ability to conduct that electrical impulse along that length). Nerve and muscle cells are highly specialized cells in the body. All nerve cells are thinner than a nylon thread and sometimes they are four feet long. The more specialized a cell is, the less often it divides. Nobody worries when you cut your skin because it will grow back just fine. However, nerve and muscle cells are permanent irreplaceable losses and much more serious. What about body builders?"

"text": "\"Brainwaves Know Your Neurons: How to Classify Different Types of Neurons in the Brain's Forest STAFF By Ferris Jabr on May 16, 2012Previously, on Know Your Neurons: Chapter 1: The Discovery and Naming of the Neuron Chapter 2: How to Classify Different Types of Neurons, or The Dendrology of the Neuron Forest Scientists have organized the cells that make up the nervous system into two broad groups: neurons, which are the primary signaling cells, and glia, which support neurons in various ways. The human brain contains around 100 billion neurons and, by most estimates, somewhere between 10 to 50 times as many glial cells. All these cells are packed into a three-pound organ about the size of both your fists stuck together. You can think of your brain as a dense forest—the neuron forest—in which different kinds of trees grow near, around and on top of one another, their branches and roots intertwining. Just as all trees share a basic structure—roots, trunk, branches—but do not look exactly alike, all neurons are variations on a common structural theme. The diversity of structures is extraordinary and scientists are still discovering brain cells that do not really look like any brain cell they have seen before.

"text": "Neurons, or nerve cells, are the electrically excitable cells that make up most of the nervous system. A unipolar neuron has only one attachment or process arising from the main portion of the cell. The most common type of unipolar neuron is a sensory neuron that carries signals into the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord. A unipolar neuron differs from other types of neurons by having only one process that arises from the main portion of the cell, or cell body. Most neurons in the body have many processes, one axon and many sensory processes called dendrites. The process of a unipolar neuron is mostly axon but also has a sensory dendrite on one end. Neurons are made of three main parts: a cell body, an axon and one to several dendrites. The cell body is the portion of a neuron that contains normal cell parts. The dendrites carry sensory information from other neurons, receptors or the body toward the cell body. The one axon of a neuron does the electrical and chemical signaling of the neuron that is carried onto another neuron or another cell."

Some peripheral structures are incorporated into the other organs of the body. In describing the anatomy of the PNS, it is necessary to describe the common structures, the nerves and the ganglia, as they are found in various parts of the body. Many of the neural structures that are incorporated into other organs are features of the digestive system; these structures are known as the enteric nervous system and are a special subset of the PNS. Ganglia A ganglion is a group of neuron cell bodies in the periphery. Ganglia can be categorized, for the most part, as either sensory ganglia or autonomic ganglia, referring to their primary functions. The most common type of sensory ganglion is a dorsal (posterior) root ganglion. These ganglia are the cell bodies of neurons with axons that are sensory endings in the periphery, such as in the skin, and that extend into the CNS through the dorsal nerve root. The ganglion is an enlargement of the nerve root."

"text": "Types of Love Posted on December 15, 2011 by Debi There are many modern conceptions of love. Love is the way lovers relate to each other. They may view love in more than one way at a time or may view love in different ways at different times. For example, you may love your husband because he is the father of your children, or you may love your husband because he is always there for you. Ludus or Ludic love is the kind of love that is played as a game, refuses to become dependent on any one person, and does not encourage another’s intimacy. You have to have two essential skills with this type of love — you must be able to juggle several partners at the same time and manage each relationship so that no one partner is seen too often. Don Juan is an example of this “love ‘em and leave ‘em” type of love. Pragma love is love for practical reasons. You assess your partner on the basis of assets and liabilities. Economic security is important."

"text": "\"Close window The Philosophy of Animal Rights by Dr. Tom Regan The other animals humans eat, use in science, hunt, trap, and exploit in a variety of ways, have a life of their own that is of importance to them apart from their utility to us. They are not only in the world, they are aware of it. What happens to them matters to them. Each has a life that fares better or worse for the one whose life it is. That life includes a variety of biological, individual, and social needs. The satisfaction of these needs is a source of pleasure, their frustration or abuse, a source of pain. In these fundamental ways, the nonhuman animals in labs and on farms, for example, are the same as human beings. And so it is that the ethics of our dealings with them, and with one another, must acknowledge the same fundamental moral principles. At its deepest level, human ethics is based on the independent value of the individual: The moral worth of any one human being is not to be measured by how useful that person is in advancing the interest of other human beings. To treat human beings in ways that do not honor their independent value is to violate that most basic of human rights: the right of each person to be treated with respect."

Arthur Son of Uther Pendragon, husband of Guinevere, and King of Britain. King Arthur is without question the greatest and most heroic figure in English mythology, and a vast medieval cycle of legend and semi-history is built around him. Although he is not present in all its episodes, Arthur is the central character of the Idylls, for his influence is felt everywhere. He is portrayed by Tennyson as the model of human perfection for he possesses all the highest qualities to which any man might aspire. In the various idylls, Arthur is shown in his different aspects. First he is seen as a great warrior, then as a constructive and idealistic statesman. All Arthur's efforts are devoted to the well-being of Britain; because of his deep religious and moral sense, he works ceaselessly to bring the true religion to fruition among his countrymen."

( USATSI)TORONTO — Stephen Curry is trying to balance everything. Being a national darling at Davidson sort of prepared him, but this is different. Curry is on the short list for MVP, the league’s leading All-Star vote getter, the 3-point contest champ, the face of the best team on the planet. The only jersey selling better than his is Cleveland’s No. 23. He’s still getting used to all of this. A day after dropping 22 points, six rebounds and five assists in just 25 minutes of a 113-89 rout over the Raptors, Curry learns Steve Nash called him one of his three favorite players to watch.

"text": "12. Paragraphs of Definition Paragraphs of Definition Parlindungan Pardede Universitas Kristen Indonesia Introduction To define the term ‘definition’ is quite hard because it requires the definitions of definition. The word ‘definition’ comes from the verb to ‘define’, which means “to state the meaning of a word or to describe the basic qualities of something”. According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, definition simply means “an explanation of the meaning of a word or phrase, especially in a dictionary”. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as “a statement expressing the essential nature of something” or “the meaning of a word or word group or a sign or symbol” ( http://www.merriam-webster.com ), while Word Reference defines it as “an exact description of the nature, scope, or meaning of something” ( http://www.wordreference.com ). Based on the above definitions, definition can be defined as an explanation of the meaning of a word or term. A good definition avoids confusion or misunderstanding, because it conveys the clear and precise meaning of a term, and thus helps you to understand what other people exactly mean. A definition can be formal or informal. The definitions provided in dictionaries are examples of formal definition, which generally include three elements: (1) a term, i.e. the word being defined; (2) class, which refers to the (big) group to which the term belongs; and (3) differentiating features, or the word or phrase that makes it different with the others from the same class. For example, in “Scientific writing is a form of writing that is based on actual and relevant studies” the term is “scientific writing”, the class is “writing”, and the differentiating features is “that is based on actual and relevant studies”."

Update Cancel Answer Wiki4 Answers Ashley Nave Answered Jul 20, 2017Sharing is caring in the right, and unselfish manner, then there are times when sharing is uncaring in certain situations that can be selfish and wrong. Example sharing is caring at the right and proper time. For example when you are well and healthy sharing a piece of candy, Kleenex tissues, or other things is unselfish. Sharing is uncaring when you're unhealthy or sick. Why? Who wants to personal tissues for example when sick with the flu, cold or some kind of bacteria or germ that is contagious? Not a good idea because germs or viruses and sometimes even bacteria can cause you get sick depending on what it is. So sharing does have a negative/positive, good/bad, and selfish/unselfish side. Sharing for the good is unselfish when it's at the right time because it makes everyone happy, and sharing for bad is selfish at the wrong time because it can create disorder in some cases.2.1k Views Related Questions More Answers Below What does \"\"sharing is caring\"\" mean?"

So why does this altruistic behavior appear? One thought, of Kin Selection, is that it is a genetic response to supporting the broader gene pool. Social conditioning can also have be a cause and prosocial parents lead to prosocial children. The Reciprocity Norm may also have an effect, where people help others, knowing that one day they may want someone else to help them in the same unselfish way. Demonstrating such social norms is likely to get you admiration from other people around you. Prosocial behavior varies with context as much as between people. Men will tend to be chivalrous for short periods, whilst women will work quietly for longer periods. People who are in a good mood are more likely to do good, as are people who are feeling guilty."

"text": "\"Gods Blueprint For Husbands Pastor David L. Brown, Ph. D. EXPLANATION & OVERVIEWThe goal of marriage, according to the Bible is completeness, oneness and unity. Genesis 2:24 says, Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ( See also Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:6-9; Ephesians 5:31 ). In order to achieve this oneness or unity in a marriage the husband must know and fulfill his biblical role and the wife must know and fulfill her biblical role. The problem is that there is mass confusion and chaos today concerning what the role of the husband is and what the role of the wife is in the marital relationship. Can you imagine the utter confusion that would exist on a football team if the players did not know what their specific responsibilities were? Or, picture the chaos and frustration in a business where there are no job descriptions, where everything is everybody's business and nothing is anybody's business, where everyone is a \"\"chief\"\" and no one is an \"\"Indian\"\". This is the kind of confusion, chaos and frustration that exists in many marriages today because there has never been a sorting out of the responsibilities. The Bible defines the wife's God-given responsibilities to her husband as well as the husband's God-given responsibilities to his wife."

Dorcas is the first Greek name of a female in the New Testament, its Hebrew equivalent being Tabitha which is the Syro-Chaldaic form of the Hebrew Zibiah, or Tsibiah, the name of a princess of Judah, the mother of King Joash. Wilkinson says that “the Greek equivalent for her Syriac name may be accounted for by her residence at Joppa, a seaport much frequented, and no doubt partially inhabited by foreigners speaking chiefly the Greek language. ”Family Connections —The Bible is silent concerning the parentage and genealogy of Dorcas. In the seaport town of Joppa she became known for her acts of charity and is the namesake for a charitable group named the Dorcas Society. Here was a woman “who with her needle embroidered her name ineffaceably into the beneficence of the world.” Where did she learn to sew, make garments for the poor and become notable for her charitable works? It could possibly have been in a godly home that she was taught how to use her fingers and her funds for the comfort and relief of the needy. Dorcas must have been a woman of means to serve humanity as freely as she did."

The events that spring into existence as the result of his contact with external environment are viewed from an entirely different angle. Instead of being considered in reference to their value as factors contributing to physical survival and physical gratification, they are scanned from the height of their cosmic relations. Their worth is estimated by the measure in which they further the development of the soul and are of assistance in cosmic welfare. Through illustration let us draw this line of demarcation clearly: From the material point of view, for instance, a man is considered to be unusually lucky when he inherits a fortune. It is common to speak of a man as highly successful when he has obtained eminence in the political field. And a man who builds up a large and prosperous business is deemed one to be envied. View of the Spiritual Alchemist But the spiritual alchemist jumps to no such hasty conclusions. He realizes that if we are ever to appraise anything justly we must delve deep beneath the surface of appearances."

Excluded from this overview is investment banking analysts as the variability has decreased. Simply put an investment banking analyst should make $150, $175K, and $200K in years one, two and three. The reason we have excluded the exact break out of base and bonus is two-fold: 1) analyst base salaries are a bit less standardized now with some as low as 70K and the new norm for top tier banks being $85K, 2) the bonus is being adjusted to match the all in compensation numbers of ~$150, ~$175, ~$200K. This means the *mix* of income for analysts has changed but the *total* number is roughly the same. So we’re not going to squabble in comments over which bank is at $85/$65 versus $75/$75 for example. If you work in the industry you already know which banks pay what salaries… so lets move on. Budget Setting: If you’re in a revenue generating role, you know that the budgets for the year are set roughly one month before the year ends (IE: late November early December). So even though numbers are not announced those in the “know” are already aware of where the “pool” is. We’ll cut to the chase:“Bonuses will be down ~5-10% and your total compensation will be roughly flat”Finally, before we delve into the data remember we are talking about two things: 1) investment banking division at an investment bank (not hedge funds, not sales and trading etc. ),"

Editor's Discussion Summary: Proportion of hourly vs exempt employees is an important consideration Accounting is slightly different with each schedule Bi-weekly means you have to know the last pay day to know the next Semi-monthly is the same two dates every month Most prefer semi-monthly Some prefer a monthly payroll and even a weekly Paying in arears (a two week lag) gives accounting more time Have a good reason before changing schedules Some states may not allow a semi-monthly schedule Plus much more below!More on how to organize HR and payroll: https://www.proformative.com/questions/does-payroll-report-to-hr-or-finance Answers Ted Monohon (VP -Finance / Controller, Fantex) | Dec 12, 2012My experience has been that it depends on who makes up your payroll. If you have a lot of exempt from OT employees (salaried workers), I think semi monthly works better. If you have lots of hourly (non-exempt), I think every other week works better since you end up with the same day as the end of your payroll period. It is easier to control the time sheet / reporting process. With the bi-weekly, you also end up having to make an accrual at the end of every month (or reporting period) for the stub period which can be a small pain. There can also be some quirks if you are doing inventory/manufacturing costing as well. Sarah Jackson (Associate Editor, Proformative) | Sep 1, 2015Proformative offers some great online courses about payroll, including this one. Topic Expert Wayne Spivak (President & CFO, SBAConsulting.com) | Dec 12, 2012We used semi-monthly and with pay days on the 15th (plus/minus Sunday) and the last business day of the month we never had to do payroll Accruals as such (we also had a use or loose at calendar end vacation and sick time policy). Once everyone gets use to it, it works just fine."

"text": "Human Resources HR Glossary What Is a Vice President's Role? The VP is a Senior Officer in an Organization Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Susan M. Heathfield Updated August 29, 2016The vice president is an employee who is an officer of an organization in the private sector (business) or the public sector who reports to (is below) the president or the CEO, and usually functions as the second in command in rank within the organization. According to Wikipedia, the name comes from the Latin vice meaning “in place of'. ”The vice president serves as the second or third employee who is in charge of the overall business, organization, agency, institution, union, university, government, or branch of government. Vice President is also a title used to designate the leader of portions of the organization or functions within organizations. These functional areas are often called departments, to use the HR department as an example, so the individual's title would be vice president of Human Resources. Vice presidents, depending on the size of the organization, can head up each department as in vice president of marketing, vice president of computer sciences, vice president of finance, customer service, purchasing, or community affairs, and so on. A vice president may also head up divisions of organizations that report to an overall organization, such as an acquired company that is now a subsidiary of a larger corporation. In organizations such as banks, that deal closely with the public or in sales functions, the job title, vice president, is often conferred to obtain customer comfort and support. The public assigns a certain level of importance to a VP title and customers feel important when they are served by a VP."

"text": "Jonathan Jones, former Global Head of Investment Banking Recruiting at Goldman Sachs (2010-2012)Answered Nov 24, 2017 · Upvoted by Ohileshwar Itagi, former Summer Intern at Goldman Sachs (2016) · Author has 401 answers and 1.8m answer views In general, the banks use titles such as ‘Vice President’ very differently than corporates do. In corporations, ‘vice president’ often denotes one of the senior-most roles in the company; an individual in charge of major operating units with responsibility for delivering large shares of the firm’s revenues. In banks, ‘vice president’ is a much less exclusive and less senior designation. In Goldman Sachs, which is a relatively non-hierarchical sort of place, there are not many titles. The progression is: Analyst, Associate, Vice President, Managing Director. Internally, there is a final, more senior designation - partner - but partners are known outside the firm only as managing directors (just the same as non-partner managing directors). Yes, it’s a little confusing. Vice President (VP) is therefore one of the most versatile designations within the firm. Employees with strong performance histories typically become eligible for promotion to VP about 5 or 6 years into their careers. Each division of the firm runs its own selection process for Vice President promotions."

Candidates comment on how disrespectful it is, how one can’t possibly read a resume in that time and some get angry at recruiters when we talk about this. I hope this article will help everyone understand how we do this. I realize that some still may not like it and will still be angry, but at least you can understand how it works. First, let me say I’ve been a recruiter for 30 years. I’m sure I have reviewed over 500,000 resumes. I can’t prove this but I’m reasonably confident that this is the case, as this is only an average of about 46 a day. I know many days I have reviewed hundreds of resumes and most in less than 20 seconds. I would say the average is probably around 5 to 7 seconds. So for the record when you hear or read about, “reading a resume in 20 seconds,” that isn’t completely true."

Naval captains are extremely high ranking officers, whereas army captains are relatively low level officers. For historical reasons AVP/VP means something very different in banking than in the rest of the world. VP is a relatively low position in banking. The reason this got that way is that most large banks started out as mergers with much smaller banks. At one point every town had a bank, and that bank had a president and a few vice presidents."

Investment banking positions from junior to senior: Analyst (grunt)Associate (glorified grunt)VP (account manager)Director (senior account manager, rainmaker in training)Managing Director (rainmaker)Some banks call certain investment banker positions different names or have added levels of hierarchy. For example, sometimes banks separate Senior Vice President from Vice President. Other times, Director is split up into Director and Executive Director (more senior). However, regardless of the names, the general job functions of each relative position tend to be consistent bank to bank. If you are an undergraduate, you are applying to banks with the aim of landing an investment banking analyst position. Assuming you do well, have an interest in staying, and there is a need, some banks offer direct promotions from analyst to associate instead of requiring that you go back and get your MBA (typically called “A to A”). If you are an MBA student, you are applying to banks with the aim of landing an investment banking associate position and aspire to work up the ranks to Managing Director one day. The Investment Banking Analyst Investment banking analysts are typically men and women directly out of undergraduate institutions who join an investment bank for a two-year program. Analysts are the lowest in the hierarchy chain and therefore do the majority of the work."

Carbide (or more specifically tungsten carbide and titanium carbide) is a very common material on any sort of cutting tool: For example, saw blades, lathe bits, drill bits, router bits and dental drilling tips are generally made of carbide. Carbide is so popular in these sorts of tools because it stays sharper longer than most other materials. Additionally, some ball-point pens use carbide balls because it helps the pen last longer. With something like a carbide-tipped saw blade, the main body of the blade is made of steel. The small tips of carbide are brazed on to the body. A good carbide tip might hold an edge ten to twenty times longer than a tool steel tip. The carbide tip on a typical circular saw. Carbide tips do get dull eventually. You sharpen them using the same techniques you would use with tool steel, but because they are so hard, you use a different abrasive."

"text": "Which Saw Blade Should I Buy?by Chris Marshall • May 8, 2015Print Choosing the best saw blade raises a lot of good questions. What’s the best table saw blade or miter saw blade? How many teeth should a blade have? Does a thin kerf or regular kerf make a difference? Do blade coatings make a difference? When should I sharpen my saw blade? How do I clean my saw blades? Using a good quality saw blade can sure make woodworking more enjoyable. and often we spend a considerable chunk of change on them. We expect top-notch performance and long life from that investment."

( January 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In the oil and gas industry, a drill bit is a tool designed to produce a generally cylindrical hole ( wellbore) in the earth’s crust by the rotary drilling method for the discovery and extraction of hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas. This type of tool is alternately referred to as a rock bit, or simply a bit. The hole diameter produced by drill bits is quite small, from about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) to 30 inches (76 cm), compared to the depth of the hole, which can range from 1,000 feet (300 m) to more than 30,000 feet (9,100 m). Subsurface formations are broken apart mechanically by cutting elements of the bit by scraping, grinding or localized compressive fracturing. The cuttings produced by the bit are most typically removed from the wellbore and continuously returned to the surface by the method of direct circulation.

Rolling cutter bits drill largely by fracturing or crushing the formation with \"\"tooth\"\"-shaped cutting elements on two or more cone-shaped elements that roll across the face of the borehole as the bit is rotated."

Invented in the 1960s to provide a fast, safe way to remove plaster casts from broken limbs, the first woodworking version of this tool was introduced in the mid-1990s. Today the oscillating multitool is one of the most versatile power tools ever produced. It features interchangeable accessories for sanding, cutting, scraping, grinding, and polishing. Plus, it'll slice through virtually any building material, including wood, metal, drywall, cement, mortar, plastic, and fiberglass, to name a few. Here are 10 simple jobs you can do with one of these handy tools.21. Trim Door Casings When installing a new floor, you might need to trim the bottom ends of the door casings and jambs so the flooring will fit. The multitool is ideal for this job. Take a piece of the new flooring and place it upside down on the subfloor right next to the casing (this way it'll tell you the height to which you'll need to cut, but you won't scuff up the good side of the flooring). Attach a flush-cutting wood blade to the multitool."

After a large construction job, bring your dull blades and bits to a scrap yard to make a few extra dollars and get the current High Speed Steel Scrap Prices. How Do You Sell High Speed Steel? The best thing you can do is to take your equipment that is no longer being used and scrap it. The i Scrap app can help you find a scrap yard near you that accepts high speed steel (HSS) and also help you find prices at those yards. To get the best price for high speed steel contact more than one scrap yard near you as sometimes different yards pay different prices. Are Carbide And High Speed Steel The Same?

As a rule, it is machined more readily than metals on standard machine tools such as those used for wood or metal fabrication. For most machining operations, ordinary high-speed steel tools are satisfactory. However, where production quantity, production speed or finish are important factors, carbide-tipped tools often prove more economical. Cutting tools must be kept extremely sharp to achieve accuracy and fine finish. Phenolic is machined dry--cutting compounds and lubricants are not necessary. Cooling by air is preferable to the use of liquid coolants which are difficult to remove from finished parts. Machine operators should be cautioned to keep the temperature of the work below 150°C since temperature above 150°C may distort the material. Cuttings are readily removed by suction.

"text": "How To Choose the Right Saw Blade For Your Flooring Project3By Lumber Liquidators on August 24, 2010 Hardwood, How To, Installation, Laminate, Products Share: As a general rule, the more teeth on the blade, the smoother the cuts. However, more teeth always means slower cutting and more load stress on the saw motor. Fewer teeth means faster cutting speed, a reduction in force required and more chance for wood tear-out or splintering. Here are a few tips in choosing the right saw blade for the job. Carbide tipped blades are best when cutting laminates and harder exotics. Quality blades can be re-edged or sharpened several times saving money. Blades having expansion slots are designed to greatly reduce heat-warping allowing the metal to cool thereby extending the life of the blade. There are many blade versions, each designed for cutting different materials. Blades for Laminate Flooring With laminates, it’s not the hardness of the high density fiber core (HDFC) that causes saw blades to wear down but actually the abrasion and heat from repeated cutting of the aluminum oxide micro-chips applied to the wear-layer. Interestingly the same aluminum oxide is used to make industrial grade sandpaper!"

Do not remove the film or paper protector from the acrylic until you absolutely have to. The material can be scratched relatively easily. If the application requires that the surface is scratch free (for a show vehicle, etc...) leave it on until it's about to be installed in the vehicle. When cleaning the acrylic material, only use cleaners that are approved by the manufacturer. Unlike glass, glass cleaners (like those with ammonia) can damage some acrylic.

Make sure the blade you choose is suitable for the material you need to cut. You also need to make sure it fits your saw. There are several specifications you should check. Look at the blade diameter and type and compare these specifications with the capability of your saw. Acceptable sizes vary by saw model, but in general: Handheld circular saws accept smaller blades, those 4-1/2 inches to 7-1/4 inches in diameter. These are typically carbide-tipped. Tile saws use 7-inch or 10-inch diamond blades. Table saws and compound miter saws use blades 10 inches or 12 inches in diameter. Like those for handheld saws, the blades are usually carbide-tipped."

Although the old saying is 'a bad workman always blames his tools' you've still gotta have the right tools for the job! Please don't listen to what some of the DIY websites say about how to cut laminate flooring! Because laminate is a man made material containing glues and resins it absolutely ruins the cutting edges of normal saw blades. Blades blunt quickly and you can burn out the motor of a power saw by trying to cut laminate flooring with a incorrect or blunt blade. So, you should never use a circular saw or miter/chop saw to cut laminate flooring unless you have a very expensive, specifically designed carbide tipped laminate cutting blade fitted to your saw. These blades will last long enough to do the job but they are really only worth buying if you are going to be doing laminate flooring installations for a living because they are so expensive! They will also throw up more dust and the dust from laminated floor boards is not good for you to be breathing in at all, containing many poisonous chemicals and resins that your lungs don't need or appreciate.

However recently I noticed it again and finally looked at it in enough detail to figure out what was going on. First some background. Quite awhile ago (more than a few years) on rec.knives Alvin Johnson made a comment about one of the many serious drawbacks of stainless steels was that if you honed them at a very fine angle the edge blunted quickly when compared to carbon steels. Before you get ready to jump all over this with chants of the superior nature of ATS-34 and the like, this is in reference to sharpening angles of 5-10 degrees included. This is much finer than even the more acute production knives (Spyderco, Buck)."

What started off as tools that were tedious and strenuous to use, now have advanced themselves to high tech instruments that can be found in every tool box and machine shop. Cutting tools become into contact with the raw material, cutes, removes debris and chips from the material and helps to create the end piece. Cutting tools started off as tools made from high carbon steel, to high speed steel, cobalt, carbide and even diamond and ceramic. In order for cutting tools to work effectively, the tool must be made of a material harder than the material it is going to cut through. A few types of cutting tools include: broach, a metal working tool with chisel points mounted on a piece of steal; endmill, a tool used in industrial milling applications; reamers make existing holes dimensionally more accurate and improves the finish of the surface material in metalworking; drill bits, which are used to create cylindrical holes by rotation; countersink, a tool used to make a conical hole; diamond blade, which is often found as a circular saw blade used for cutting hard materials; and diamond tools, which contains diamond segments that help to cut through non-ferrous materials, or metal materials containing no iron. These cutting tools can cut through wood, plastic, composite and metal, depending on what tool you’re using and what size and shape of hole you desire.

Nutrient deficiencies or excesses If you take more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A per day, you’re consuming too much of this vitamin. A lack of vitamin A is also linked to skin issues. Either way, supplementing isn’t the way to go. Get your vitamin A from whole foods instead, such as yellow and orange vegetables or liver. The body is intelligent in the way it handles nutrients from whole foods, whereas supplements can be overbearing and cause toxicity.

Go to a dermatologist instead of your family doctor, because a dermatologist is a skin doctor that knows more about the skin than a regular doctor knows. Read More There are lots of different ones such as Oxytetracycline, Erythromycin or Lymecyline which do not have the same side effects as minocycline. Antibiotics can be prescribed for up to two years for acne. If you are worried your doctor can perform a liver-function test to reassure you everythings ok. If long-term antibiotics prove ineffective you may be a candidate for oral isotretinoin (accutane/roaccutane) and your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist.

People will tell you when you first meet someone new, the individual decides within the first few minutes of the initial encounter whether or not you are someone he/she would like to: befriend, hire, become lovers with, or avoid at all costs. As these preliminary meetings are not generally the most comfortable of situations and most people aren’t able to convey the essence of their true selves, the decision made by the other individual concerning your noteworthiness will be significantly affected by your appearance. Though your clothes, your hair, and maybe even the car you arrived in (if applicable) do play a part in the determination, it is your skin than speaks the loudest. Skin can tell other people quite a bit about you. Beautiful and healthy skin gives the impression of vitality and a person whom takes care of themselves. Unfortunately, if your skin’s appearance is less than optimal the conclusion the viewer will draw will probably not be favorable. Poor skin health could give the impression of apathy, an unhealthy lifestyle, and poor hygiene. Recognizing the signs of poor skin health and taking the necessary steps to treat and cure the problem could make a difference in the first impression made by the other party concerning you.1.

Immunity from disease is actually conferred by two cooperative defense systems, called nonspecific, innate immunity and specific, acquired immunity. Nonspecific protective mechanisms repel all microorganisms equally, while the specific immune responses are tailored to particular types of invaders. Both systems work together to thwart organisms from entering and proliferating within the body. These immune mechanisms also help eliminate abnormal cells of the body that can develop into cancer.immune system The immune system and the field of immunogenetics.

"text": "\"Defense Mechanisms General Non-specific Defenses Against Infection There are several simple physical and chemical barriers that constitute and important first line of defense. Our skin provides a highly effective barrier to infectious agents despite the fact that skin is colonized by an impressive array of microbial agents. Injury to the skin (abrasions, cuts, incisions, burns, etc.) or penetration. ( insect bites, splinters, needle sticks, stabs) can, of course, breach the barrier and provide a portal of entry for infectious agents. Given the effectiveness of intact skin, our major vulnerabilities are: The respiratory tract: we take air from the external environment into our respiratory tract and lungs continually - every minute, every hour, every day, as long as we live. The gastrointestinal tract: we eat and drink every day, and this provides another potential portal for entry of pathogens. The genito-urinary tract: the urethra and vagina are potential portals for entry of microbes, especially during sexual encounters Even the eyes provide a portal of entry These are our major vulnerabilities, but we have evolved non-specific defenses for these. The mucous membranes of the eyes are bathed in tears, which contain an enzyme called lysozyme that attacks bacteria and helps protect the eyes from infection. The hairs and mucus in our nose trap inhaled particles, and the walls of our respiratory tract are lined with cells that secrete mucus to trap particles and pathogens."

"text": "The basic definition of “urine therapy” is using (your own) urine internally or externally as a way to aid or sustain your heath. Urine therapy, which includes drinking, injecting, massaging with-, and/or bathing in- urine, is an ancient practice that is used today, not only in times of sickness, but also in times of good health for preventive health maintenance. It has been claimed to have proven helpful in a great number of varying illnesses, ranging from a simple cold and a throat-ache, to tuberculosis and asthma, from minor skin problems such as itching to major skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis and even skin cancer. What is the urine? The kidneys filter all the blood of the organism. 99% of this filtered liquid circulates again around the blood and only 1% is eliminated as the urine. Urine is a blood byproduct and though it contains some body waste, it is non-toxic. Urine, 95% of which is water, 2.5% of which is urea, and 2.5% of which is a mixture of minerals, salts, hormones, and enzymes, is not a toxic waste product.

T cells sees processed antigen in association with MHC molecules again as a 3-D conformation. In an Antigen Presenting Cell, such as a macrophage, non-infectious proteins were endocytosed and degraded in lysosomes to peptides (endosomal pathway), some of which bound specifically to MHC II molecules. In contrast, if an agent such as a virus infected the macrophage, some newly synthesized viral antigens are likewise degraded in the cytoplasm to peptides (the cytoplasmic pathway), but these are associated with class I MHC molecules. The different components of the immune response to infection Antibody has 3 important functions; -It is the only means to prevent an infection by neutralization of viral infectivity. The generation of protective Ab has usually been the only response measured by vaccine developers. Generally neutralizing Ab reacts with just a few epitopes on one or two surface antigens of the infecting agent. It is ineffective if the protective epitopes are subject to pronounced antigenic drift. Infected cells which express viral antigen on their cell surface may be lysed by 2 antibody-dependent mechanisms - (a) complement pathway, or (b) antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity. Antibody may facilitate the removal of debris (a scavenging mechanism)The main function of effector T cells, in particular Tc cells, is to clear an infection."

We're not immune to tumors, and neither are our horses. The good news, if you can call it that, is that the vast majority of tumors that affect horses are of the benign variety. Cancer isn't nearly as common a killer in equines as it is in humans. In fact, the two most common types of tumors in horses—melanomas and sarcoids— usually are benign and often cause little disruption in a horse's daily life. Some horses have been known to live with these skin growths for upward of 20 years. Under certain circumstances, however, both of these types of tumors can be a nuisance and a health risk, not to mention unsightly."

"text": "Vaccines cause chronic immune system dysregulation. While vaccinations supposedly prevent childhood infectious disease, they do a far better job of causing many health issues increasingly prevalent in our society like autoimmune disease, asthma, allergies and cancer. I have heard many times that vaccines cause problems with one’s immune system but never found a good explanation for exactly how this happens. Now I present to you the grim realities of vaccines and how they are likely causing more health issues, disease and deaths than they are preventing. The Issues Did they really eradicate disease? A 1999 study from JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at the death rate from infectious disease since 1940. ( 1) What’s clear is that the death rate went down by 90% before vaccines were introduced. Other careful studies, such as that by J. B. and S. M. Mc Kinlay, show that the vaccine-related diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, smallpox and others were declining before vaccination came along. ( 10) So there’s a question of whether vaccines were actually responsible for eradicating disease. Even the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control, admits it was simply improved hygiene, improved sanitation like indoor plumbing and better nutrition that reduced disease. ("

If so, experts are certain the key will lie in a healthy immune system. By CJ Puotinen What could be better than curing your dog’s cancer? That’s easy! How about avoiding the illness in the first place? No one has done any clinical trials or statistical studies that prove you can prevent cancer in at-risk dogs. “ But common sense and clinical experience make a strong case for avoiding anything that exposes an animal to known carcinogens or weakens the immune system,” says Stacey Hershman, DVM, a holistic housecall veterinarian in Rockland County, New York. A minimal vaccination protocol is recommended by holistic vets and veterinary colleges. Increasingly, overvaccination has been identified as a health risk. Just like their human companions, dogs live longer, healthier lives when they eat the right foods, get enough exercise, breathe clean air, drink clean water, and stay away from harmful substances."

The strategies used by pathogens determine strongly the type of immune response a vaccine should elicit and how the vaccine should be formulated. Improved knowledge of immune response mechanisms has brought successes in the development of vaccines that protect against challenging pathogens as well as vaccines that can be used in immunocompromised and elderly populations. This includes the production of highly purified antigens that provide a better reactogenicity and safety profile than some of the early whole-pathogen vaccines. Successful attempts to improve antigen purity, however, can result in weakened immunogenicity. The search for approaches to overcome this has led to new technologies, such as live vector vaccines, DNA vaccines and novel adjuvant formulations, which have been based on growing knowledge of the interplay between innate and adaptive immune systems and the central role played by antigen-presenting cells. Of these technologies, one of the most promising to date is based on the use of innovative adjuvants combined with careful antigen selection. Vaccine design has therefore become more tailored, and in turn has opened up the potential of extending its application in immunotherapies to tackle diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer disease and immune-mediated disorders.

"text": "Vaccine Immunity Download PDF Copy By Dr Ananya Mandal, MDThe immune system of the body functions to protect it against invasion by germs and microbes. When an individual is vaccinated against a disease or an infection, his or her immune system is prepared to fight the infection. Once vaccinated, when the person is exposed to the bacterium that causes it, the body gears up to fight off the infection. This is a mild episode that often goes unnoticed by the sufferer. Vaccines take advantage of the body’s natural ability to learn how to eliminate almost any disease-causing germ, or microbe, that attacks it. Once vaccinated the body “remembers” how to protect itself from the microbes it has encountered before. The immune system The immune system is a complex interplay of cells and organs in the body that have evolved over centuries in all species to fight off infectious microbes. These cells are akin to an army with each type of cell specialized and designed to fight disease in a particular way. Macrophages The first encounter of the invading cells is with patrolling white blood cells called macrophages (literally meaning “big eaters”). These macrophages eat up and kill as many of the viruses and bacteria as they can."

Related to immunity: immunology, immune system, innate immunity, natural immunity, acquired immunityimmunity [ ĭ-mu´nĭ-te] the condition of being immune; the protection against infectious disease conferred either by theimmune response generated by immunization or previous infection or by other nonimmunologicfactors. It encompasses the capacity to distinguish foreign material from self, and to neutralize,eliminate, or metabolize that which is foreign ( nonself) by the physiologic mechanisms of theimmune response. The mechanisms of immunity are essentially concerned with the body's ability to recognize anddispose of substances which it interprets as foreign and harmful to its well-being. When such a substance enters the body, complex chemical and mechanical activities are set into motion to defend and protect the body's cells and tissues. The foreign substance, usually a protein, is called an antigen, that is, one that generates the production of an antagonist. The most common response to the antigen is the production of antibody. The antigen--antibody reaction is an essentialcomponent of the overall immune response. A second type of activity, cellular response, is also an essential component."

Vaccination is an effective means to prevent and/or reduce the adverse effects of specific diseases in poultry. Poultry refers to birds that people keep for their use, and generally includes chicken, turkey, duck, goose, quail, pheasant, pigeon, guinea fowl, pea fowl, ostrich, emu, and rhea. Disease-causing organisms can be classified, smallest to largest, as viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and parasites. All these organisms are susceptible to chemotherapy, except viruses. Control of viral diseases is dependent upon prevention through sanitation and biosecurity, and by vaccination. Strict sanitation and biosecurity are essential for successful poultry production. Vaccination is no substitute for effective management. It must be understood that vaccines may be effective in reducing clinical disease, but exposed birds, in most cases, still become infected and shed disease organisms. Deciding Whether or Not to Vaccinate Commercial poultry are usually vaccinated to protect them against a variety of diseases."

Despite some encouraging evidence of immune responses in people, it is unclear whether many of these would prevent HIV infection. Typically, vaccines are administered to large numbers of people at high risk of infection. After a certain time, the vaccinated participants’ experiences are compared to those of people who received a placebo. As described in What an HIV vaccine would have to do, this may involve assessing the antibodies present in their blood, or the response of their CD8 T-cells to HIV in the test tube, or looking for HIV seroconversions in the trial participants. Researchers have explored a number of strategies that they hope will produce protective immune responses. These include: Live attenuated vaccines. Inactivated vaccines.

Cell Membrane The cell membrane surrounds the cell. This membrane acts like a barrier for the cell, meaning that it allows only certain things to pass in or out of the cell but not everything. Each organelle inside a Eukaryotic cell is also surrounded by a membrane. These membranes serve as a selective barrier for the organelles. Each of these membranes, like the cell membrane, are also made up of lipids. Nucleus The cell’s nucleus is large and usually close to the center in the cell.

Digestibility of Plants Digestibility of plant structures | Digestive efficiency of ruminants |Digestive efficiency of hindgut fermenters | Environmental effects of low digestibility Animals can easily digest the contents of plant cells, but not their cell walls. All plant cells have an outer cell wall composed of cellulose or lignin.. This reduces the amount of energy animals can extract from plants, because most animals lack the specific enzymes that would allow them to digest cellulose. Fibre is the amount of cellulose and lignin present in the plant. In general, older and woodier plants have higher levels of cellulose and lignin. Lignin cannot be digested no matter how long it remains in the digestive system. In addition, lignin interferes with gut microbes that do have the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose, because it both acts as a physical barrier to digestion, and contains chemical bonds that cannot be broken down by normal stomach microbial flora. ' Digestibility\"\" describes how readily the plant can be digested and its energy released for use by an animal. The digestible part of a plant includes the cell contents and the small amount of fibre that can be broken down. The amount of energy available to an animal eating a plant is determined by the proportion of fibre to cell contents in that plant."

All cells are self-sustaining entities with different tasks divvied up to different components of the cell. These components are what we call cell organelles. Cell organelles perform important tasks to maintain normal cell functions including cell division. For Advanced Placement ( AP) Biology there are two main eukaryotic cell types, the animal cell and the plant cell, which you need to understand well. A eukaryotic cell is a type of cell that possesses a distinct membrane-bound nucleus, whereas a prokaryotic cell does not have a nucleus. Here we will focus on eukaryotic cells. For the purpose of this AP Biology crash course, we will take a tour through plant and animal cells. We’ll look at which organelles they share, which ones they do not, why this is the case and the function of all these organelles. We will also touch up on how organelles are often strategically positioned."

Though there are many types of cells, they all have similar parts. The different parts of a cell are called organelles, and each one has a specific purpose. In general, plants and animals have the same organelles, with a few differences. Cell Membrane and Cell Wall Surrounding every cell is a permeable membrane made of two layers of phospholipids. This membrane controls the transport of substances into and out of the cell. Water and other substances move naturally from high concentration to low concentration across the membrane by osmosis. However, along the membrane there are proteins that act as pumps to move materials from low concentration to high concentration, a process known as active transport. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a rigid cell wall, which helps the cell keep its form and structure."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Vacuoles are large membrane-bound compartments within some eukaryotic cells where they serve a variety of different functions: capturing food materials or unwanted structural debris surrounding the cell, sequestering materials that might be toxic to the cell, maintaining fluid balance (called turgor) within the cell, exporting unwanted substances from the cell, or even determining relative cell size. The cavity that is the vacuole is considered nonprotoplasmic and the contents classified as ergastic according to some authors (Esau, 1965). Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most plant cells. Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. Vacuoles perform different roles in different organisms and these functions include the capture of food, the maintenance of internal hydrostatic pressure (store water), the containment of waste products, the maintenance of an acidic internal p H, the storage of small molecules and finally can enable a cell to elongate rapidly.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules. Put simply, a lysosome is a type of vesicle with specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and proteins of its lumen. The lumen's p H (4.5–5.0) [1] is optimal for the enzymes involved in hydrolysis, analogous to the activity of the stomach. Besides degradation of polymers, the lysosome is involved in various cell processes, including secretion, plasma membrane repair, cell signaling, and energy metabolism. [ 2]The lysosomes also act as the waste disposal system of the cell by digesting unwanted materials in the cytoplasm, both from outside the cell and obsolete components inside the cell. Material from outside the cell is taken-up through endocytosis, while material from the inside of the cell is digested through autophagy. Their sizes can be very different—the biggest ones can be more than 10 times bigger than the smallest ones. [ 3] They were discovered and named by Belgian biologist Christian de Duve, who eventually received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974. Lysosomes are known to contain more than 60 different enzymes. ["

The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. This feature gives them their name, also spelled \"\"eucaryote\"\", which comes from the Greek ευ, meaning good/true, and κάρυον, meaning nut, referring to the nucleus. In the nucleus the genetic material, DNA, is arranged in chromosomes. Many eukaryotic cells also contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts and Golgi bodies.

New evidence says compression stockings don't do anything Varicose veins aren't just a cosmetic problem - they can lead to leg ulcers Government guidance recommends doctors stop prescribing the stockings Other treatments include vein-stripping or involve lasers and radiowaves By Pat Hagan for Mail Online Published: 19:06 EDT, 9 September 2013 | Updated: 19:06 EDT, 9 September 201310View comments Three in ten Britons are blighted by varicose veins. These unsightly, bulging and often painful veins in the legs and feet are thought to strike 40 per cent of women and a quarter of men. Yet recent government guidance suggests many patients have been prescribed treatment that is outdated and ineffective. Varicose veins occur when the wall of the vein starts to weaken and it becomes swollen and out of shape. Leg veins carry blood back up to the heart and, as it is moving against gravity, they have to work very hard to carry it in the right direction. Waste of time: There is no evidence demonstrating that compression stockings, the traditional treatment for varicose veins, do anything to reduce symptoms To help, there is a series of one-way valves up the leg. As blood passes through, the valves close, stopping gravity from pulling it back down again. But when vein walls weaken, which can occur due to a number of factors, including genetics, ageing, pregnancy or being overweight, these valves do not close properly. Blood starts to pool, a phenomenon known as venous reflux, causing veins to bulge through the skin."

When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists and turns, or enlarged, they are called varicose vein. This happens most commonly in the veins in the legs and thighs. The thickened, twisting or dilated parts of the vein are called varicosities. Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body, but they are most often located in the legs. Varicose veins tend to be inherited, and become more prominent as a person ages. Veins in the leg are either superficial or deep. The superficial veins and their branches are close to the skin."

Varicose veins can happen anywhere in the body, but are more common in the legs. Varicose veins are not considered a serious medical condition. But, they can be uncomfortable and can lead to more serious problems. And, because they may be very noticeable, they may cause people to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. What are spider veins? Spider veins, a milder type of varicose veins, are smaller than varicose veins and often look like a sunburst or \"\"spider web.\"\" They are red or blue in color and are commonly found on the face and legs, just under the skin.

"text": "Diagnosis To diagnose varicose veins, your doctor will do a physical exam, including looking at your legs while you're standing to check for swelling. Your doctor may also ask you to describe any pain and aching in your legs. You also may need an ultrasound test to see if the valves in your veins are functioning normally or if there's any evidence of a blood clot. In this noninvasive test, a technician runs a small hand-held device (transducer), about the size of a bar of soap, against your skin over the area of your body being examined. The transducer transmits images of the veins in your legs to a monitor, so a technician and your doctor can see them. Treatment Fortunately, treatment usually doesn't mean a hospital stay or a long, uncomfortable recovery. Thanks to less invasive procedures, varicose veins can generally be treated on an outpatient basis. Ask your doctor if insurance will cover any of the cost of your treatment. If done for purely cosmetic reasons, you'll likely have to pay for the treatment of varicose veins yourself. Self-care Self-care — such as exercising, losing weight, not wearing tight clothes, elevating your legs, and avoiding long periods of standing or sitting — can ease pain and prevent varicose veins from getting worse."

Varicose veins are caused by faulty valves within veins, that allow blood to pool. Treatment options for varicose and spider veins include sclerotherapy and surgery. Sclerotherapy is the injection of a solution into the vein. Most people can expect an improvement in the appearance of treated veins. On this page: Causes of varicose veins and spider veins Symptoms of varicose veins Prevention of varicose veins and spider veins Treatment of varicose veins and spider veins Surgery for varicose veins Other forms of treatment for varicose veins Where to get help Things to remember Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to our heart. In our legs, blood is collected in the superficial veins, just below the skin surface, and delivered to deeper veins that run within our calf muscles. The muscular action of our calves helps to pump the blood against the force of gravity towards the heart. One-way valves inside the veins prevent the blood from travelling backwards. If these valves fail to close properly, blood pools in the superficial veins."

A small blood clot also commonly forms in the vein, but is usually not serious. The condition usually settles and goes within 2-6 weeks. Treatments can ease pain or discomfort. Superficial thrombophlebitis is different to, and much less serious than, deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, in a small number of cases, complications can occur with superficial thrombophlebitis, including extension of the blood clot further up the vein. If the clot extends to where the superficial and deep, larger veins join, a DVT can develop. In this article What is thrombophlebitis? What is superficial thrombophlebitis?

In fact, according to the Department of Health and Human Science, about 50 percent to 55 percent of women and 40 percent to 45 percent of men in the U. S. suffer from some sort of vein problem, with varicose veins affecting about half of all people 50 years and older. ( 1)They’re a common problem among older or pregnant women due to hormonal influences, and they tend to develop over time as someone ages and veins lose their natural elasticity due to rising levels of inflammation. Women are at least twice as likely as men to develop varicose veins, but people of any age and race can be affected. ( 2) They’re usually most noticeable on — and therefore the biggest concern for — people with light skin. There are a number of different ways to prevent and treat varicose veins, ranging from expensive surgeries to using natural essential oils. Before turning to irritating prescription creams or expensive laser surgeries — which aren’t always effective and should really be considered last-resort options — it’s a good idea to try varicose veins home remedies first to lower the visibility of bulging veins without much risk involved. Natural Varicose Veins Treatment According to a 2012 report published in the Journal of the American Medical A ssociation, “treatment options for varicose veins range from conservative (e.g., medications, compression stockings, lifestyle changes) to minimally invasive (e.g., sclerotherapy or endoluminal ablation), to invasive (surgical techniques), to hybrid (combination of ≥1 therapies).” ( 3)A 2007 report published in the Journal of the Royal College of Surgeons of England found that nerve injuries following varicose vein surgeries are common and that more than half the patients treated will develop some recurrent varicose sites within 10 years of surgery. ( 4)Varicose veins are always a symptom of an underlying venous insufficiency disorder."

Although not as visible or uncosmetic as varicose veins, spider veins and dilated capillaries are a common concern for a shocking number of women worldwide and a good percentage of the men. Because neither spider veins nor dilated capillaries are as advanced as varicose veins, both surgical treatment and natural remedies can be used successfully. Both spider veins and dilated capillaries are caused by blood circulation problems and are significantly more common in women than in men. Spider veins generally appear on the back of the legs, especially behind the knees or thigh, on the bridge and sides of the foot and on the face. Dilated capillaries tend to appear frequently on the face, especially on the nose or cheeks, but also on the legs. However, there is no set rule for where they appear as our body is full of blood vessels. What are spider veins? Spider veins are a type of twisted, raised and enlarged veins, similar to varicose veins. While varicose veins are thicker, wider than 2 millimeters, spider veins are thinner, no wider than 2 millimeters."

So we are giving preference to the 4 star hotel (considering its our honeymoon - plus this one looks much more awesome! ) Could anyone tell us what could be our average costs for each day in Paris?

All of the foods listed above are, in the most basic sense, a protein wrapped in a starch casing. The northern Mexican version of this international culinary concept is the burrito. It is made up of a flour tortilla filled with either beef, chicken, or pork. It is interesting to note that this dish is much more popular in the United States than it is in Mexico. In fact, most Mexican restaurants in the central and southern part of the country do not serve the dish unless they are catering to tourists from North America. While the burritos that are served in American are generally thick and filled with many ingredients in addition to meat, those which are served in Mexico are generally quite thin and filled only with meat. Mexican cuisine has become quite popular in the United States over the past few decades. This trend has become evident even in American fast food."

"text": "Types of Foods That a Pescatarian Can Eatby LILLIAN DOWNEY Aug. 14, 2017By definition, a pescatarian (or pescetarian) is a person who eats seafood but not other types of meat. Pescatarians are similar to vegetarians, but the difference is that pescatarians eat fish and shellfish in addition to an otherwise vegetarian diet. However, there is no consensus on whether a pescatarian diet includes eggs and dairy since many vegetarians consume those types of land animal products. Major vegetarian organizations, including The Vegetarian Society, do not recognize pescatarians as true vegetarians. Pescatarians believe that they can improve their health, the plight of land animals and the condition of our planet by refusing to consume meats other than seafood. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Seafood in a Pescatarian Diet Pescatarians do not eat land animals or birds, including chicken, beef, pork and other types of poultry. They do, however, eat seafood, including fish such as salmon, tuna, trout, whitefish, sardines and even fish roe, also known as fish eggs or caviar. This type of diet also allows for shellfish like lobster, shrimp (or prawns), crawfish and crab as well as mollusks like scallops, clams, mussels, squid, octopus and oysters. These foods can be prepared in any manner, as long as they are not prepared with ingredients that contain meat that doesn't fall into these categories. Plant Foods in a Pescatarian Diet Fruits and vegetables are the main attraction for pescatarians, much like vegetarians and vegans."

"text": "Health Diet & Fitness How much weight will I lose if I eat 900-1000 calories? So about 3 days ago i started eating 900-1000 calories per day and started eating breakfast. I'm trying to lose about 25 pounds in 2 months or less. Would this work in order to make me lose weight quick? I know it's not so healthy but ever since I started eating breakfast I wasn't as hungry by the way... show more Follow 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Well sorry but you aren't, but it's totally understandable if you want to get a little more in shape. And 900-1000 is not enough nutrition for your body, you need at least 1200 a day, or else over a long period of time your body basically starves.. especially with the exercise you're doing. Margaret · 2 years ago0 0 Comment A mistake that many people make while trying to lose weight is they eat minuscule amounts of food, which can be very unhealthy. The key to successful dieting is not to eat less but to eat better. Try to eat at least 1200 calories a day, but replace unhealthy, processed foods with healthier alternatives. Try to eat foods from the produce section in the super market, so fruits and vegetables."

Ever wonder what it’s good for and how to eat it? Here are a few pieces of information on millet and a few ideas of how to cook and eat it. When I was a child, our family ate a lot of millet. Most often, we had millet cooked with large splashes of olive oil and Bragg liquid aminos. Simple, and, as my mom said, “a complete alkaline protein. ”I found out later that this comment was due to the alkaline balance in the amino acid chains. In other words, millet keeps the body nourished but not overly acidic as meats and other protein-rich foods do. There are numerous ways to eat millet."

"text": "Vegetarian Diets for Children: Right from the Start Eating habits are set in early childhood. Choosing a vegetarian diet can give your child—and your whole family—the opportunity to learn to enjoy a variety of wonderful, nutritious foods. Children raised on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes grow up to be slimmer and healthier and even live longer than their meat-eating friends. It is much easier to build a nutritious diet from plant foods than from animal products, which contain saturated fat, cholesterol, and other substances that growing children can do without. As for essential nutrients, plant foods are the preferred source because they provide sufficient energy and protein packaged with other health-promoting nutrients such as fiber, antioxidant vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Complete Nutrition for Children Vegetarian diets provide excellent nutrition for all stages of childhood, from birth through adolescence. Of course, an infant’s nutritional needs are best met by his or her mother’s breast milk. It’s nature’s way of boosting the baby’s immunity as well as his or her psychological well-being. Doctors recommend introducing solid foods in the middle of the first year of life. The best weaning foods are soft plant foods such as ground, cooked cereals, mashed fruits, and well-cooked vegetables."

Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products. Why Veganism? People choose to be vegan for health, environmental, and/or ethical reasons. For example, some vegans feel that one promotes the meat industry by consuming eggs and dairy products. That is, once dairy cows or egg-laying chickens are too old to be productive, they are often sold as meat; and since male calves do not produce milk, they usually are raised for veal or other products."

"text": "Many vegetarians and vegans worry about getting enough iron in their diet. Since meat is traditionally thought of as the main source of iron, vegetarians need to find different sources to help them reach their recommended amount of iron each day. Fortunately, there are several delicious and easy-to-prepare options that are both rich in iron and vegetarian-friendly. Brussels Sprouts You may have resisted Brussels sprouts as a kid, but they’re hard to resist once you learn just how healthy these tasty veggies are. Brussels sprouts are a viable source of antioxidants, vitamins, folate, and fiber. Plus, they’re an excellent source of iron, and an obvious choice in helping to prevent fatigue and other symptoms of iron deficiency. Serving Size (1/2 cup), 0.9 milligrams of iron (5% DV), 28 calories Raisins Like other dried fruits, raisins are nutrient-dense treats that contain large amounts of iron. It’s easy to add a handful of these subtly sweet treats to your cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, or salads as part of a balanced diet. To get the most out of your next handful of raisins, combine them with other healthy foods containing vitamin C. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the iron found in raisins.

How to Get 200 Grams of Protein Without Supplements How Many Calories Do Vegetarians Eat in One Day? If you’re a vegetarian, getting 40 percent of your daily calories from protein requires consistent effort. Many vegetarian sources of protein, such as legumes and milk, are rich in carbohydrates and only moderately high in protein. Your job will be harder than an omnivore’s, who can rely on animal foods that are mostly protein, such as meat and fish. To reach 40 percent, you will need to eat the highest-protein vegetarian foods, such as dairy products, wheat gluten, soy foods and protein supplements, at each meal and snack. Protein Grams To figure out how much protein constitutes 40 percent of your calories, start with your daily caloric intake. If you follow a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet, 40 percent is 800 calories. Protein has 4 calories per gram, so 200 grams of protein per day is the goal. Adjust your personal protein goal to reflect your average daily caloric intake."

"text": "\"Vegetarianism in a Nutshell The basics: Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, and poultry. Vegans are vegetarians who abstain from eating or using all animal products, including milk, cheese, other dairy items, eggs, honey, wool, silk, or leather. Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, environmental, and ethical concerns; dislike of meat; non-violent beliefs; compassion for animals; and economics. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has affirmed that a vegetarian diet can meet all known nutrient needs. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet, as with any other diet, is to eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Limit your intake of sweets and fatty foods. Making the change to a vegetarian diet Many people become vegetarian instantly. They totally give up meat, fish, and poultry overnight. Others make the change gradually. Do what works best for you."

"text": "\"How many animals does a vegetarian save?by Harish Posted on February 6, 2012; Last updated on March 16, 2015A vegetarian spares the lives of a certain number of animals each time he or she chooses to forgo meat for vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes and nuts. These animals, of course, are not necessarily ones who continue to live because a vegetarian chose not to eat them. The way a vegetarian saves animals is by reducing the demand for meat and causing fewer animals to be born into a harsh life owned by the meat industry, where callousness abounds and mercy is scant. Exactly how many animals does a vegetarian save each year? Given the scale and complexity of animal agriculture today, this number is impossibly difficult to determine accurately. But, it is possible to estimate a conservative range—in this post, I will attempt such an estimate for a vegetarian in the United States. Sources cited Humane Research Council.

"text": "What is a Pescatarian? Written by Allison Do you like this article? Share: Tweet Many people ask what is a pescatarian versus a vegetarian. One could simplify the answer and say that pescatarians are vegetarians that also eat fish, but that is a really simple answer. The term is not used frequently and many people follow this lifestyle (or diet) and do not even realize that they would be termed a pescatarian. The pescatarian is like the vegetarian in that they avoid eating meat like the meats from animals, however, the pescatarian eats fish and shellfish dishes such as tuna, salmon, shrimp, oysters, and sushi to name a few. In short: Pescatarian = Vegetables + Fruit + Legumes + Grains + Dairy+ Seeds + Nuts + Fish + Shellfish Or free of: all mammal meats In the pescatarian food pyramid, the foundation is a base of fruits and vegetables with a steady supply of beans, legumes, whole grains, and pastas: Pescatarians enjoy quite a variety of meal options including sushi! Many people start out their journey to eliminating animal products from their diet by becoming a pescatarian without even knowing it. Here’s a list of terms used for people to describe their eating habits: Pescatarian: People who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. More and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet."

Its important to understand that there is a fundamental difference between the two when looking at it from the broadest of strokes. Veganism is a lifestyle. It doesn't simply dictate what you eat, but your ethics, important political issues, and what products you allow in your home; not just your belly. Vegans: Do not consume any animal products of any kind that can be avoided. Do not wear animal based clothing like leather, do not have animal based decor in their homes, and generally do not allow things into their lives that come from dead animals. Vegans are animal advocates, animal rights and possibly environmentalism would be important issues for a vegan Vegetarianism is a term in and of itself, but is also an umbrella term that includes variations on its meaning. Vegetarians: Do not consume any animal based foods for the most part. Unlike vegans they are less concerned with the many hard to pronounce food additives and may indulge in things like honey. Vegetarians show varying levels of restraint with animal based non-edibles like clothing."

It might be alright to eat fish and shrimp, but you draw the line at eating beef and pork. Maybe eating no living thing including the products that come from animals such as eggs and milk is what’s right for you. It all comes down to the individuals beliefs and how strongly they feel about them. Some even restrict themselves of certain plants such as pure garcinia cambogia . To take away some confusion on the different types of diets here are a few categories that defines the difference. Pescatarian: This applies to those that do not eat any meat with an exception of fish. The word may seem foreign, but more and more people are adopting this particular diet mainly for health purposes. Vegetarian (lacto-ovo): Most people know of this diet where they eat no beef, pork, poultry, fish, or shellfish, but do eat dairy products. “ Lacto” is Latin for milk and “ovo” is for egg."

Most cheeses contain a coagulant (technical term is rennet) that is added to the milk to separate the curds from the whey. Traditional rennet is made from an enzyme found in the stomach lining of suckling calves and lambs. This was likely discovered in the transport of milk in calf stomachs, or when the animals were slaughtered and curds were discovered in their stomachs. In early cheese making, the stomach linings were dried out, ground up, and added directly to the milk. These days animal rennet comes in powder or liquid form, and is highly controlled and sanitary. But the resulting cheese it is technically NOT a vegetarian food. Thankfully vegetarians need not rule out all cheeses—vegetarian rennet does exist. The ancient cheese makers of the Iberian Peninsula for example, discovered the coagulant properties of the Cardoon Thistle. And in the wake of mad cow disease, many English cheese makers switched to vegetable rennet, and have yet to switch back."

"text": "For some people, adopting a strict vegan or vegetarian diet — whether it’s for health, social, environmental or animal welfare-related reasons — can be a challenge. Embracing the flexitarian approach, however, offers meat lovers the perfect, self- determined degree of wiggle room. Flexitarianism simply advocates plant-based diets that include the occasional steak or pork chop, allowing adherents the flexibility to eat what they crave while still eating in a way that reflects their food values. Ethical Foods spoke with Annabelle Randles, the woman behind the popular UK-based website The Flexitarian, about why this approach has such broad appeal. Randles, who herself was raised on healthy, omnivorous, home-cooked meals, fills her site with delicious, easy to make flexitarian recipes and tips for avoiding food waste, while encouraging readers to only purchase high welfare animal products. The term flexitarian implies that this dietary approach is rather broad. Are there any specific criteria or is flexitarianism open to interpretation? Flexitarian means ‘flexible vegetarian.’ There are no rules. It is open to each individual’s interpretation."

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

So, instead of it taking you 8 years to become a vet, it will end up taking closer to 10. Second, people often think that being a vet tech will look good on their application. Well, this isn't the case. Vet schools care a lot more about practical experience, so unless you're going to go to tech school and then work full-time for a couple of years before applying it's not worth it. You can get similar experience without tech school."

However, it is important to mention that in the veterinary field, there are two other kinds of health care providers: the veterinary assistant, and the veterinary technician (commonly referred to as a vet tech, or a veterinary technologist). The latter are professionals who run medical tests, while the veterinary assistants do basic tasks that range from feeding the pets to grooming and bathing them. They have different salaries, and different duties and responsibilities as well. The veterinary technicians tend to have more responsibilities and to be better paid than the veterinary assistants, but they also need to get higher education degrees. That being said, while veterinary technicians often have to complete a college program that is accredited by the AVMA and get either an Associate’s Degree or a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in the field, the assistants only need a high school diploma or a GED to get a job in the field. That being said, here you will find a comprehensive, in-depth comparison between the job duties, responsibilities, education requirements, payscale and job outlook of veterinary technicians vs. veterinary assistants.

Caring for animals is something pet owners do for free, but workers in the field of veterinary care help animals for living. Veterinary assistants are support workers who perform a variety of routine tasks such as feeding animals, cleaning cages and performing diagnostic tests. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that most veterinary assistants have a high school diploma and learn the skills they need on the job. Average Salary Since vet assistants do not need education beyond a high school diploma, pay tends to be lower than that for other veterinary workers who need more education. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average annual income of veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers is $24,430, as of May 2011. The median annual income in the occupation is $22,830, which means half of all workers in the field made more than $22,830 and half made less. Salary Range Workers with more experience and education often command higher annual salaries than the average. Statistics bureau income data show that the top 10 percent of veterinary assistants in terms of annual income make more than $34,970 a year, as of May 2011 and that the bottom 10 percent of workers made less than $16,970.

Similar to a medical assistant who supports human patients, veterinary assistants will sterilize medical equipment, prepare lab samples, clean examination rooms, and assist with administrative work and billing. Veterinary assistants are different from medical assistants in many ways, however. Veterinary assistants will often feed and water the animals for which they are caring. They may administer medication, provide post-operative care, and clean and disinfect cages. They also may examine animals for signs of illness, disease or injury, under a veterinarian’s supervision. Educational requirements Most veterinary assistants complete 2-year programs. Those who seek to become veterinary technologists and technicians typically complete 4-year programs. Approximately 500 students graduate from these 4-year programs each year, and those who do often compete with one another for the most coveted jobs in zoos and aquariums throughout the country."

Under Business and Professions Code section 4855, the veterinarian is obligated to provide you with a summary of the patient record.

My veterinarian has moved or closed down, how can I get my records? Each managing licensee of a veterinary facility is required to maintain a current address of record. If the facility has moved or closed down, the VMB recommends that you contact the Board for the most recent address of record and then send a written request for a summary of your animal's records to that address. If there is no response, then you should file a complaint with the Veterinary Medical Board. If I asked my veterinarian for my pet's x-rays and he refuses, what can I do?"

Since graduating with a two-year degree in veterinary technology, Deeks has enjoyed a varied and relatively lucrative career, first as a research technician for a pharmaceutical company, then at the University of Toronto and finally at a small-animal practice. Still, she couldn’t cover her living expenses, so she took a job managing the dental office at a university veterinary school for $22 per hour, and added a 12-hour shift every week as a veterinary technician in an emergency animal hospital where she earns $16 per hour.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, you’ve come to the right place. Here are the answers to your questions. How Long Are Dogs Pregnant? When planning to breed your dog, you need to know the length of the gestation period in dogs. Knowing how long your dog is pregnant for will help you plan for things like veterinary checkups, emergencies, and most exciting, whelping.

"text": "Veterinarians - What They Do Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases and dysfunctions of animals. Specifically, they care for the health of pets, livestock, and animals in zoos, racetracks, and laboratories. Some veterinarians use their skills to protect humans against diseases carried by animals and conduct clinical research on human and animal health problems. Others work in basic research, broadening our knowledge of animals and medical science, and in applied research, developing new ways to use knowledge. Most veterinarians diagnose animal health problems, vaccinate against diseases, medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses, treat and dress wounds, set fractures, perform surgery, and advise owners about animal feeding, behavior, and breeding. According to the American Medical Veterinary Association, 77 percent of veterinarians who work in private medical practices treat pets. These practitioners usually care for dogs and cats but also treat birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, and other animals that can be kept as pets. About 16 percent of veterinarians work in private mixed and food animal practices, where they see pigs, goats, cattle, sheep, and some wild animals in addition to farm animals. A small proportion of private-practice veterinarians, about 6 percent, work exclusively with horses. Veterinarians who work with food animals or horses usually drive to farms or ranches to provide veterinary services for herds or individual animals."

"text": "Financial Assistance for Veterinary Care Costs Pets bring so much to our lives, but owning a pet comes with responsibilities. Among those responsibilities is the commitment to provide health care for your pet, and health care comes at a cost. Although veterinarians are compassionate and dedicated to protecting your pet’s health, they charge fees to be able to provide the best care for all their patients, to keep their clinics running, and to make a living. Good preventive care (e.g., vaccination, control of parasites, weight management, etc.) is essential to reducing long-term pet health care costs because it prevents many diseases. Regular exams also help detect problems earlier, when they may be less expensive to treat and treatment is more likely to result in a good outcome. If available, wellness plans allow pet owners to spread out the costs of preventive care over a longer time period. Some pet insurance plans may also provide for regular preventive care. But emergencies, injuries and illnesses can happen, and they can be associated with higher costs for diagnosis and treatment. Ideally, pet owners should plan for these expenses and set aside money to cover them."

For those who love working with animals, the veterinary field offers several career paths that may be of interest. The three main positions are veterinary technician, veterinary assistant, and veterinarian. Each plays a different role within the veterinarian’s office and requires different schooling. Veterinary Technicians Veterinary technicians conduct clinical tasks in a veterinarian’s private practice and are supervised by a license veterinarian. Vet techs may perform medical or laboratory tests, treat medical conditions, record patients’ medical histories, develop radiographs, and provide nursing care. What Courses do You Need to Take? Students interested in a career as a veterinary technician should take high school classes in the areas of science, biology, and math. Any coursework or seminars on communication and teamwork would also be beneficial. After graduation, these students should attend a veterinary technician program that is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)."

Vet technicians and vet assistants work alongside each other and veterinarians to help take care of animals and assist with examinations and treatments. Having a formal education and professional certification, vet techs are qualified to do more advanced clinical tasks than vet assistants who usually learn on the job. Both careers can be a good fit if you're interested in helping and caring for animals. Having a lower barrier to entry and part-time work options, a vet assistant position can be more appealing if you want to enter the field quickly and have a less strenuous work schedule. Your salary will generally be more as a vet tech than a vet assistant due to the difference in preparation. Job Description Vet techs and vet assistants both help out veterinarians around the office. They can assist with procedures and help keep animals clean and fed. However, vet techs are qualified to perform more advanced clinical tasks to help diagnose and treat animals and take medical histories under a veterinarian's supervision, while vet assistants sometimes do clerical tasks like keeping the veterinary office and tools clean. Both of these careers require that you're empathetic and able to handle emotional situations you may face with animals and their owners."

This is an entry level-position in a veterinary facility and training is generally done on the job. Because most training is done on the job it is often very cursory and lacks the depth and breadth of a formal education. Veterinary assistants are generally taught the basic how-to but not the why or when you would do something different. They tend to do basic tasks such as animal restraint, basic care and sanitation, assist in patient monitoring, prepare instruments for use in surgeries or daily treatments, they may give medication as prescribed by the veterinarian, collect biological samples and perform basic diagnostic tests like reading fecals.

Prescription Meds Metoclopramide is a prescription medication that treats acid reflux and nausea in humans. Commercial names include Reglan, Maxolon and Octamide. Vets use metoclopramide to calm cats' stomachs and to get things such as food or hairballs moving out of the tummy and on their way through the intestines. Mirtazapine (brand name Remeron) is another medicine for nausea in cats. It was originally used as an antidepressant but was found to calm the stomach and even stimulate the appetite."

Puppies require small meals throughout the day and generally should be started with 5 small meals a day, bringing this down to four meals a day at the age of 3 months, then 3 meals a day at 6 months. It is important that the puppy is fed a diet designed for its age and breed size. There are diets specifically designed for puppies and young dogs which will ensure the growing dog receives the nutrition required for healthy growth. For dogs of 12 months or older, traditionally it has been recommended that they should be fed just once a day, with small breeds being fed twice a day because they only eat a small amount at each mealtime. Feeding Tips: It is better to stick to one variety of good quality “ complete and balanced”dog food and not add any supplements (unless instructed by your vet), as over supplementing can be harmful to your dog. If your dog does not eat all of its meal in one go, you may be offering it too much, Not all dogs eat the amount recommended by the food manufacturers. The right amount should produce firm, dark brown, crinkly stools. If the stools are firm, but get softer towards the end, this is a classic sign of overfeeding. Never change your dog's diet abruptly (unless under the direction of your vet)."

The standard dose of aspirin is 5mg/lb of body weight (so for a 100lb dog that would be about one and a half standard aspirin) twice a day and should always be taken with food. Aspirin, like many NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory dugs) can cause many serious side effects including include vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, lethargy, and diarrhoea, kidney and liver problems and ulcers. It can also interact with other prescription medication so you should always consult with a vet before administering aspirin. There are several NSAIDS which are more suited for dogs such as meloxicam, caprofen and deracoxib. If your vet does recommend aspirin or any other NSAID for your dog then you should watch closely for symptoms such as changes in urination habits, odour or colour, loss of appetite, vomiting and black or tarry stools. Other human painkillers such as Panadol and paracetamol have also previously been used in animals but can have even more serious side effects than aspirin. Uses for Aspirin Dogs are most commonly given aspirin for treatment of arthritis and associated joint pain. There may be other situations where your dog is in pain, where aspirin may give relief.

"text": "\"TIPS AND TRAPS FOR FEEDING FADDY CATSCopyright 1994, Sarah Hartwell Cats are naturally careful eaters as their digestive system is not good at breaking down toxins. Because cats are so sensitive to poisons, their senses of taste and smell must prevent them from eating food which could be harmful to them. An excellent sense of smell warns them of stale or contaminated food and if their sense of smell fails, so does their appetite. Unfortunately, the same mechanism which helps cats avoid harmful foods can turn it into a faddy eater. Faddy eaters may be fixated on one or two types of food. This may lead to an unbalanced diet if its preferred foods are 'treat' foods or to problems if the food becomes unavailable. For these reasons, it's unwise to allow a cat to become a faddy eater. Unfortunately it's all too easy to be manipulated without realising it. You avoid one or two flavours because your cat isn't keen on them. It will eat them once it gets hungry enough, but it knows you will crack before it does."

This diet is designed to reduce the amount of waste materials in the system that must be filtered out by the kidneys. The low salt and low phosphorous help control the electrolyte imbalances that are common with CRF. While there is no cure for CRF, this diet may slow the progression of the disease. * CRF cats sometimes have a difficult time eating any foods because they tend to secrete excess stomach acids. Since these foods are often less palatable than the commercial foods, you must be patient and persistent in your efforts to get your cat to eat the prescribed diet. Some cats may eat some or all of these foods, but many cats absolutely refuse to eat any. DO NOT starve the cat. If a cat doesn't want to eat, it WON'T. Remember that it's most important for them to keep food intake and body weight up. When introducing a new low protein diet, start by gradually increasing the new food and decreasing the old."

"text": "\"Sf C Home > Health > Animal Health >Giving Your Dog Aspirinby Ron Kurtus (revised 11 November 2008)If your dog has chronic pain or inflammation, common aspirin can often be used to give your pet some relief. Since aspirin can cause stomach problems, care should be used, and it should always be given with food. The safe amount of aspirin to give depends on your dog's weight. It is always wise to check with your vet before administering aspirin or any other medication. Questions you may have include: What is aspirin used for in dogs? What warnings or problems are there? How much should I give? This lesson will answer those questions. Animal Health Disclaimer Uses for aspirin Dogs are most commonly given aspirin for treatment of arthritis and associated joint pain. There may be other situations where your dog is in pain, where aspirin may give relief."

"text": "Dog Health What to Feed a Sick & Vomiting Dogby Chris Miksen Chicken with rice is anything but bland to your dog. Your dog probably never thought you’d allow him to eat hamburger or chicken for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it’s all part of remedying an upset stomach. Before he gets the goodies, though, he has to go without food altogether for a bit, or his vomiting may worsen. Main Ingredients Hamburger, chicken and tofu will have your dog licking his lips and, hopefully, not seeing pieces of his dinner come back up. All three must be boiled, because boiling removes the fat that frying and baking do not. And fat, while tasty to your dog, is not good if he’s already sick. Ninety percent lean hamburger works best, while chicken needs to be without skin, bone and fat. Rice or cottage cheese makes up the bulk of your dog’s tummy-calming meal. The rice, like the meat or tofu, must be boiled. The University of Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine suggests adding one part meat or tofu to four parts cottage cheese or rice."

Diarrhea seems like a weird topic for a video, but my guess is a lot of you will watch anyway!For those of you with pets, it’s not a question of if you’ll be faced with a case of diarrhea – but when. If you have a new puppy or kitten, you’ll want to know how to prepare. Those of you with adult dogs or cats are well aware that diarrhea is unavoidable. It’s going to happen. Knowing what to expect ahead of time is important. And if your pet is in the midst of a bout of diarrhea, I want to give you some good information on how to manage it. Causes of Pet Diarrhea The reasons your dog or cat gets diarrhea are numerous and varied. Most often the cause is dietary indiscretion, which is a fancy term for when your pet eats something she shouldn’t, causing GI upset. A sudden change in diet can also cause diarrhea."

First of all, make sure that your cat doesn't fall into the list of life threatening emergencies. If they do, run, don't walk, to the nearest vet, regardless of your financial situation. At the very least, most vets will put your cat out of their misery rather than letting them die in agony if you cannot afford care. Even the emergency clinic will do a no charge euthanasia if your cat is suffering, and you cannot afford treatment. If you just can't get to All Feline, either because of location or weather, or because we are full, ask us for a referral to a closer vet, or call a friend, neighbor, or taxi for a ride to get your cat to the vet. If your cat's health issue is not immediately life threatening, depending on what the issue is, you may be able to help them until you can get them to a vet. If you have internet access (which I am guessing you do if you are reading this), there are two options for questions and answers, or even live chats with veterinarians online.

Session ID: 2018-04-11:754884e866d4b63efeff5e09 Player ID: vjs_video_3OKBy Caitlin Ultimo It’s hard to watch your dog feel uncomfortable, especially if what ails him is as common and simple as an upset stomach. If your dog has diarrhea, he may not be acting like himself and you may want to help him feel better by reaching for the same thing that comforts you when your stomach hurts: Pepto Bismol. The famously pink over-the-counter medication, Pepto Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) is used to treat gastrointestinal upset in humans, and although it may aid in the resolution of diarrhea in dogs in certain situations, it should only be used if directed by a veterinarian and at the appropriate dose, says Dr. Jessica Wallach, a staff doctor at NYC’s Animal Medical Center, adding that it should not be administered long-term. While Pepto Bismol can work wonders on your stomach, it could cause more harm than good when it comes to your dog’s overall health. Potential Side Effects of Giving Your Dog Pepto Bismol There are some concerns and potential risks involved when it comes to giving dog a dose of Pepto Bismol, and that is why it is best to leave the ultimate decision up to your veterinarian. Pepto Bismol can cause dogs’ stools to turn a greenish-black color and, “as a result, it can be difficult to discern if your dog is experiencing melena (blood in the stool), which presents as black, tarry stools and can be indicative of a serious medical issue,” Wallach says. Pepto Bismol tablets can also appear radio-opaque on X-rays, Wallach says. “ This means that if your dog's gastrointestinal signs [become worse] and abdominal radiographs are performed by your veterinarian, the tablets can be mistaken for a metallic foreign body.” This could lead to unnecessary surgery or other medical procedures, putting your dog’s health at greater risk than it needs to be."

Cats don’t produce the right enzymes to fully digest large amounts vegetation. The juices of grass have folic acid and some vitamins that wild cats mainly obtain through eating grass. The fiber from grass also acts as a laxative, very good for passing old hair balls.

By: Erika Raines El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011There are many reasons for a dog's stomach to appear bloated. Your dog may actually have a bloated stomach or a bloated abdomen. A bloated stomach can be caused by eating too much in too short a time period, or simply be because he has a deep chest. Deep chested dogs are at risk for developing Gastric Dilation and Volvulus (GDV) which is a very serious condition in which their stomach bloats and rotates so that no gas or food can leave it. Researchers are still unsure why deep chested dogs develop this condition. This is an emergency situation which usually requires immediate surgical care. Your dog may also appear to have a bloated abdomen for many reasons that don't involve his or her stomach."

"text": "\"Aspirin For Dogs - Managing Pain and Canine Arthritis Share Facebook Twitter Google+ Stumble Upon Email Can I Give My Dog Aspirin For Pain Relief? Like humans, dogs can experience pain from injuries, infections or disease. And when a dog is in pain whether it is due to traumatic or inflammatory reasons (such as canine arthritis), aspirin can be given as an effective medication to help your pet control the pain and relieve inflammation. How Aspirin Work To Relieve Pain? Aspirin belongs to the general class of drugs collectively known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), which are most commonly prescribed to relieve pain caused by inflammation. The most common form of inflammatory pain in dogs is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis or canine arthritis as it is commonly known is a degenerative joint disease that attacks the cartilage, which cushions the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. As an anti-inflammatory analgesic, aspirin helps block the body's synthesis and production of prostaglandin (which are the source of pain and inflammation) to relieve pain associated with musculoskeletal injuries and reduce the swelling in your dog’s joints. However, aspirin is not a miracle drug and it is important to note that aspirin should only be used as a short term solution for pain relief for your dogs in the recommended dosage recommended by your vet. Aspirin should never be use as a long-term control for dog arthritis pain, due to its destructive side effects on joint cartilage and possible irritation of the stomach that can result in stomach, liver and kidney damage."

"text": "\"If you are only giving famotidine once a day, I would recommend doing so at bedtime because this seems to help cats who vomit at night or first thing in the morning. Famotidine tastes quite bitter and can make cats foam at the mouth, so you may find it easier to give it in a gelatine capsule (gelcap) or to use the injectable form (see above ). It usually takes effect pretty quickly, within a couple of days for most cats. Some people find that after a while, famotidine seems to be less effective. If you are using a low dose, increasing the dose as outlined above might help. Evaluating the prolonged use of an antacid, famotidine, in cats is a study funded by the Winn Feline Foundation in 2017 which will investigate if it does become ineffective in cats and whether changing the dose might help. Alternatively, you could ask your vet about switching to ranitidine. Famotidine Side Effects and Interactions The most common side effects in humans are constipation or diarrhoea. Some cats, particularly those with high bloodwork (creatinine over 5 mg/dl (USA) or 450 µmol/L (international)), do not seem to do well on famotidine, perhaps because their kidneys cannot excrete it efficiently as described above. These cats may in fact exhibit increased vomiting and appetite loss when given it - this happened to our Thomas."

By: Kara Mc Carty El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011Neopsporin or Bacitracin are antibacterial ointments with a petroleum base. If the wound is cleansed well with warm water and dilute antibacterial soap before applying these ointments they both will improve healing and decrease scar formation as they keep the wound edges soft and decrease secondary bacterial infections. Neosporin may be slightly better than Bacitracin as Neosporin has three antibiotics present, including Bacitracin, whereas Bacitracin is just the one antibiotic Bacitracin. However some dogs are sensitive to Neomycin or Polymixin (the other 2 antibiotics in Neosporin) and in those cases Bacitracin alone would obviously be preferred.

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to levofloxacin or similar antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro), moxifloxacin (Avelox), ofloxacin (Floxin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), lomefloxacin (Maxaquin), and others. Before taking levofloxacin, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, myasthenia gravis, joint problems, seizures or epilepsy, diabetes, low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia), or a personal or family history of \"\"Long QT syndrome. \"\" Avoid taking antacids, vitamin or mineral supplements, sucralfate (Carafate), or didanosine (Videx) powder or chewable tablets within 2 hours before or after you take levofloxacin. These other medicines can make levofloxacin much less effective when taken at the same time. Taking levofloxacin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid exposure to sunlight, sun lamps, or tanning beds. Levofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. These effects may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take an oral steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant. Stop taking levofloxacin and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints."

Most snakebites are caused by non-venomous snakes. Of the roughly 3,000 known species of snake found worldwide, only 15% are considered dangerous to humans. [ 1] [2] [3] Snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica. [ 1] There are two major families of venomous snakes, Elapidae and Viperidae. Three hundred twenty five species in 61 genera are recognized in the family Elapidae [4] and 224 species in 22 genera are recognized in the family Viperidae, [5] In addition, the most diverse and widely distributed snake family, the colubrids, has approximately 700 venomous species, [6] but only five genera — boomslangs, twig snakes, keelback snakes, green snakes, and slender snakes —have caused human fatalities. [ 6]Since reporting is not mandatory in many regions of the world, [1] snakebites often go unreported. Consequently, no accurate study has ever been conducted to determine the frequency of snakebites on the international level. However, some estimates put the number at 1.2 to 5.5 million snakebites, 421,000 envenomings, resulting in perhaps 20,000 deaths, but the actual number of deaths may be as high as 94,000. ["

They are generally a dark shade of brown or a dull black and will occasionally have lighter banding visible on their sides. The younger snakes have lighter color and more distinct patterns. Click here for several more photographs, including juvenile cottonmouths. The body of this snake is considered to be bulky with a distinct neck going into a relatively large, triangular head. The tail also tapers off quickly at the end of the body, from fat to thin. Like most pit vipers, the cottonmouth has pupils which are shaped like slits. This snake is considered very venomous, producing a toxin which prohibits the ability of the blood to clot while destroying tissue on a cellular level. Any area that comes in contact with water moccasin venom will begin to hemorrhage, giving the name \"\"cytotoxic\"\" (similar to ‘hemotoxic’ ) to this type of poison.

"text": "Full Answer All of the major terrestrial snake lineages include species that live in deserts. Vipers and pit vipers, such as horned adders and sidewinders, are ambush hunters that primarily consume lizards and rodents. Like vipers and pit vipers, boas and pythons living in deserts are usually ambush hunters, who kill their prey by constriction. They are usually opportunistic predators that consume any prey that they can catch, but some species specialize on a specific type of prey. For example, sand boas of Middle Eastern deserts primarily eat rodents, while desert-dwelling pythons, such as blackhead pythons, prefer lizards. Other snakes of the desert concentrate on smaller prey. Black-headed snakes primarily consume arthropods, such as insects, centipedes and scorpions. Snakes have evolved many different adaptations that allow them to capture food in the deserts. Some species burrow into the soil to avoid being detected by their prey. This behavior provides a secondary benefit to the snakes, as the sand protects them from the hot sun."

In the United States, however, there are only four: the coral snake, the copperhead, the cottonmouth water moccasin and the rattlesnake. Rattlesnake Description & Identification - There are 32 known species, which contain numerous subspecies with many color variations. They all share in common a distinctively triangular head and jointed rattles on their tail. Rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths are all pit vipers. Pit vipers are snakes with two pits under their nostrils to detect heat, thus enabling them to hunt warm-blooded prey. The pits are so sensitive that the snake can determine the size of the warm-blooded animal and can even detect prey in complete darkness. Each species can be identified by variations of the colored patterns on their skin. Colors range from shades of brown, gray and black, to tones of yellow, cream, rust, olive and light pink. A rattlesnake's skin may display a pattern that is banded, diamond shaped, or blotched, though some species of rattlesnake have no identifying pattern at all."

With more CB babies available more and more people are succumbing to the allure of these attractive snakes. While many breeders have had success with various (and contradicting) methods of breeding A. squamigera, I have heard that most people have not had luck captive breeding A. chlorechis. My brother, York, and I have witnessed several A. squamigera copulations and one of York's pairs produced a litter this year. Also, I bred a pair of A. chlorechis this year that produced a litter of babies. It is my hope to share my experiences with everyone who keeps either of these two species and is thinking of trying to breed them. A few general guidelines can be followed to better ensure successful breedings. Obviously, the first thing that you need to do is make sure that you have a pair. Adult females of both species are quite a bit larger than males and may reach 24 inches in length, while the males may be only 16 inches in length. Babies and juveniles can be sexed by comparing their tails, though several snakes of the same size may be needed for comparison."

Credit: Rob Hainer | Shutterstock The water moccasin, North America's only venomous water snake, has a distinctive blocky, triangular head; a thick body; and a dangerous bite. Water moccasins rarely bite humans, however, and only attack when threatened. They are semiaquatic, so they're happy both swimming in water and basking on land in their native range in the southeastern United States. Both \"\"water moccasin\"\" and \"\"cottonmouth\"\" are common names for Agkistrodon piscivorus, according to Sara Viernum, a herpetologist based in Madison, Wisconsin. \"\" The name 'cottonmouth' comes from the white coloration of the inside of the snake's mouth,\"\" she said. Other local names include black moccasin, gaper, mangrove rattler, snap jaw, stub-tail snake, swamp lion, trap jaw, water mamba and water pilot. Water moccasins are pit vipers, like copperheads and rattlesnakes. \"\" Like all pit vipers, [they] have heat-sensing facial pits between their eyes and nostrils,\"\" Viernum said.

Unlike other vipers, this animal has a distinctive neck. It is usually has a light brown base color and darker, irregular bands around the body. The copperhead lives mostly in forested regions, using the cover of leaves on the forest floor for camouflage. This snake had branched out to other regions, and can be found along waterways and in rocky territory. For years, people were under the impression that the bite from a copperhead snake was fatal. It is possible for the snake to inject enough venom to kill a human; however, this scenario almost never happens. When a copperhead snakes bites, it is because the animal is fearful. It will produce enough venom in the bite to injure it’s attacker and buy the snake time to escape."

This summer Karen has fished a lot there so the first thing we did was to go see if the rising river had flooded her favorite fishing hole. The water was indeed over many of the refuge's roads and her fishing spot was flooded. We had to turn around at a spot where a thick-bodied, blackish snake was sprawled out sunning himself. That's him above. That's a venomous Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin, AGKISTRODON PISCIVORUS, common in swamps around here. The species is found throughout most of the US Southeast. Our snake was about 2-½ feet long and didn't seem at all concerned when I approached. The thick, black body, the head much wider than the slender neck, and the black mark behind the eye are about all you need to ID one of our Cottonmouths at a distance. Up close you also see a pit between the eye and nostril, which is a heat-sensing organ enabling the snake to locate prey in the dark, plus the eye's pupil is a vertical slit, like a cat's eye, instead of round."

Below are the answers to these questions and more. If you have a question that is not answered here, contact Dr. J for more info. What are my chances of being bitten by a venomous snake in the U. S.? How many people die each year from venomous snake bites? The chances of dying from a venomous snakebite in the United States is nearly zero, because we have available, high-quality medical care in the U. S. Fewer than one in 37,500 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the U. S. each year (7-8,000 bites per year), and only one in 50 million people will die from snakebite (5-6 fatalities per year). Did you know that you are nine times more likely to die from being struck by lightning than to die of venomous snakebite? The graph below compares deaths from venomous snakebites to some leading causes of death, lightning strikes and other animal related deaths."

"text": "Be Rattlesnake Safe With the coming of spring and warmer weather conditions, snakes of many species are through hunkering down, making human encounters with these elusive creatures more likely. Although most native snakes are harmless, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recommends steering clear of the venomous rattlesnake – and knowing what to do in the event of a strike. Rattlesnakes are widespread in California and are found in a variety of habitat throughout the state from coastal to desert. They may also turn up around homes and yards in brushy areas and under wood piles. Generally not aggressive, rattlesnakes will likely retreat if given room or not deliberately provoked or threatened. Most bites occur when a rattlesnake is handled or accidentally touched by someone walking or climbing. On rare occasions, rattlesnake bites have caused severe injury – even death. However, the potential of encountering a rattlesnake should not deter anyone from venturing outdoors. The California Poison Control System notes that the chances of being bitten are small compared to the risk of other environmental injuries. Most bites occur between the months of April and October when snakes and humans are most active outdoors, but there are precautions that can and should be taken to lessen the chances of being bitten."

"text": "\"Missouri Copperheads Publish Date : May 02, 1999Revised Date : Nov 02, 2010Tom Johnson Copperheads, Agkistrodon contortrix, belong to a subfamily of venomous snakes, known as pit vipers, which also includes the cottonmouth and rattlesnakes. An important characteristic they share with other pit vipers are infrared-sensing facial pits, which are small openings between the eye and nostril on each side of the head. These pits assist in locating warm-blooded prey, such as mice. Look into a pit viper's eyes and you'll see pupils shaped like cat's-vertical and elliptical. All venomous snakes in Missouri-including copperheads-are pit vipers. If you see a snake with round pupils, it is a nonvenomous species. Copperheads and other members of their family have hollow, folding fangs located on the forward part of their upper jaw that allow them to inject venom into their prey. Copperheads and their relatives (members of the genus Agkistrodon) have a wide distribution, with species living in Asia, Malaysia, southeastern Europe, North America and Central and South America. In the U. S., copperheads range from southern New England to northern Florida and west to southern Indiana, western and southern Illinois, Missouri, southeastern Nebraska and southwest through much of Oklahoma and Texas. There is not just one kind of copperhead; North America actually has five regional races or subspecies, which differ in coloration and geographic location."

"text": "\"The Snakes of Egyptby Jimmy Dunn Editor's Note: I have been to Egypt many more times than I can count, visiting just about every corner of the country. During that time, I have seen one snake, belonging to and under the control of a snake charmer. Certainly there are snakes in Egypt, but I have not seen them pose any problem to tourists. That is not to say that tourists, particularly those who visit some of the more exotic places such as the Western Desert and the Sinai mountains, should not keep a careful eye out. Egypt contains many snakes, but snakes are shy animals that attempt to avoid humans, and therefore are rarely found in populated areas that tourists visit. Historical Overview Snakes were found throughout ancient Egypt, including the desert sands, in old walls, in fields, by the Nile and in its swamps, on threshing floors, in houses and in livestock enclosures and pastures. Poisonous snakes would have posed a threat to humans and domestic animals alike. Hence, the Egyptians had somewhat of a love/hate relationship with snakes. While they were dangerous, they were also viewed, for example, as a protector to the King, but also a demon of the underworld. A papyrus in the Brooklyn Museum which served as a manual for a doctor treating snakebite reveals that the Egyptians had an intimate knowledge of snakes."

"text": "Virtual reality glasses or goggles are a type of eyewear which functions as a display device. They enable the wearer to view a series of computer generated images which they can then interact with. They take the form of one or two display screens which are worn in front of the face and project graphical images, often accompanied by sound and video. The viewer sees two separate images – one in each eye which the brain combines to form a three dimensional image. They show an illusion of depth which is a characteristic feature of virtual environments. Different types of virtual reality glasses There is more than one type of virtual reality glasses which are discussed in greater detail in this section. They include: Virtual reality glasses for PC Virtual reality glasses for PS3Virtual reality glasses for Mac These glasses can be compared to a wearable computer monitor which along with an input device such as a data glove or joystick enables the wearer to experience a three dimensional world. There are some virtual reality glasses which enable a three dimensional image to be projected onto a real world object. This merging of realities is known as augmented reality and is discussed further. Find out more in the augmented reality section."

"text": "Posted by Aviram Eisenberg Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality ( 18 votes, average: 4.56 out of 5)Augmented Reality (AR) vs. Virtual Reality (VR) – Differences and Similarities Share Woody Allen once quipped: “I hate reality but it’s still the best place to get a good steak.” Perhaps that’s true, but with the current investment in both virtual and augmented reality, one might wonder how soon technology will prove Allen wrong. A close examination of the augmented reality vs. virtual reality debate shows it might come sooner than you think. Virtual Reality, or VR as it’s known, though often thought relegated to gaming, remains a viable means of delivering interactive experiences both in and outside the gaming industry. Augmented Reality, or AR, on the other hand, is quickly proving itself a disruptive technology on more than one front. Without even considering the military applications for VR and AR, the consumer market is still willing to give VR a chance to see what it can do. As for AR, the field is wide open for innovations in a growing list of industries. And if the visionaries are right, you ain’t seen nothing yet. What is the Difference Between AR and VR? The VR/AR story is shaping up to be more about exploiting each technology to it’s fullest potential, rather than deciding which is better."

Citing sources familiar with Apple's plans, the site says the smart glasses would connect wirelessly to the i Phone, much like the Apple Watch, and would display \"\"images and other information\"\" to the wearer. Apple has contacted potential suppliers about its glasses project and has ordered \"\"small quantities\"\" of near-eye displays, suggesting the project is in the exploratory prototyping phase of development. If work on the glasses progresses, they could be released in 2018. Google Glass Apple's glasses sound similar to Google Glass, the head-mounted display that Google first introduced in 2013. Google Glass used augmented reality and voice commands to allow users to do things like check the weather, make phone calls, and capture photographs. Apple's product could be similar in functionality. The glasses may be Apple's first hardware product targeted directly at AR, one of the people said. Cook has beefed up AR capabilities through acquisitions. In 2013, Apple bought Prime Sense, which developed motion-sensing technology in Microsoft Corp.'s Kinect gaming system."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Virtual reality. Virtual Fixtures – first A. R. system, 1992, U. S. Air Force, WPAFBAugmented reality ( AR) is a direct or indirect live view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are \"\"augmented\"\" by computer-generated perceptual information, ideally across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory. [ 1] The overlaid sensory information can be constructive (i.e. additive to the natural environment) or destructive (i.e. masking of the natural environment) and is spatially registered with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment. [ 2] In this way, Augmented reality alters one’s current perception of a real world environment, whereas virtual reality replaces the real world environment with a simulated one. [ 3] [4] Augmented Reality is related to two largely synonymous terms: mixed reality and computer-mediated reality. The primary value of augmented reality is that it brings components of the digital world into a person's perception of the real world, and does so not as a simple display of data, but through the integration of immersive sensations that are perceived as natural parts of an environment. The first functional AR systems that provided immersive mixed reality experiences for users were invented in the early 1990s, starting with the Virtual Fixtures system developed at the U. S. Air Force's Armstrong Laboratory in 1992. [ 2] [5] [6] The first commercial augmented reality experiences were used largely in the entertainment and gaming businesses, but now other industries are also getting interested about AR's possibilities for example in knowledge sharing, educating, managing the information flood and organizing distant meetings. Augmented reality is also transforming the world of education, where content may be accessed by scanning or viewing an image with a mobile device. [ 7] Another example is an AR helmet for construction workers which display information about the construction sites."

Granted, computer networking was initially envisioned in the heyday of The Beatles as a military-centric command and control scheme. But as it expanded beyond just a privileged few hubs and nodes, so too did the idea that connected computers might also make a great forum for discussing mutual topics of interest, and perhaps even meeting or renewing acquaintances with other humans. In the 1970s, that process began in earnest. Related: Mullets reigned supreme in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s; computers were a far rarer commodity. Machine languages were bewildering, and their potential seemingly limited. What’s more, this whole sitting-in-front-of-a-keyboard thing was so… isolationistic. Put all this together and you have a medium where only the most ardent enthusiasts and techno-babbling hobbyists dared tread. It was, in effect, a breeding ground for pocket-protector-wearing societal rejects, or nerds. Boring, reclusive nerds at that."

After countless demos with the HTC Vive, first behind closed doors and then using it at conventions, it feels odd to finally be using the headset in my own home – but so very gratifying. Find the best: Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive I've used the consumer Oculus Rift and while I was impressed, the Vive's ability to employ room scale has convinced me that HTC and Valve have firmly secured the future of VR with this model. Hyperbolic as that sounds, I really believe that this is the beginning of something truly amazing. Price when reviewed:$799Check current price But this really is only the beginning. Convincing people the tech works has become easier now that the headset is shipping out, but there are still several barriers to entry – the first being the price point. The Oculus Rift costs $500 with the final cost around $600 after shipping, while the Vive surpasses it with the final cringeworthy cost sitting at $799. That's not including the PC set-up. The second barrier may be easier to alleviate: lots of space is required to VR with HTC Vive. I've learned this the hard way since I live in a small San Francisco studio."

Russell Holly20 Jul 201525It's been an interesting year for virtual reality. We've seen massive leaps forward in helmet-style VR systems in finished form of Oculus Rift and the not-quite-finished HTC Vive, with Sony's own Project Morpheus preparing to follow suit for the PS4. By mid-2016 you'll be hard-pressed to find a AAA game that doesn't offer some form of immersive benefit that can only be found by strapping one of these things to your face. At the same time all of this has been happening, smartphone-based VR has been gaining momentum. We've seen Samsung partner with Oculus to produce a not-quite-commercial VR system with its own ecosystem of software, with Google's Cardboard gaining well over a dozen manufacturing partners and offering support for just about everything with a screen. Each is an impressive offering in its own right, but choosing between the two if you've got a device that supports both isn't easy. To make that decision, you'll need to think about where and why you want a VR experience, as well as what you're willing to spend on that decision.

Released in 1995, it was marketed as the first console capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D graphics. The player uses the console in a manner similar to a head-mounted display, placing their head against the eyepiece to see a red monochrome display. The games use a parallax effect to create the illusion of depth. Sales failed to meet targets, and by early 1996, Nintendo ceased distribution and game development, only ever releasing 22 games for the system. Development of the Virtual Boy lasted four years, and began originally under the project name of VR32. Nintendo entered a licensing agreement to use a 3D LED eyepiece technology originally developed by U. S.-based company Reflection Technology. It also built a factory in China to be used exclusively for Virtual Boy manufacturing. Over the course of development, the console technology was down-scaled due to high costs and potential health concerns. Furthermore, an increasing amount of company resources were being reallocated to Nintendo 64 development."

"text": "What is Immersive Technology? August 23, 2015 Zaid Mahomedy All, General 0Immersive technology refers to all forms of perceptual (input to the user) and interactive (output from the user) hardware technologies that blur the line between the physical world and the simulated or digital world. To create a realistic environment, development and recording tools that blends the various technologies together for use within various types of immersive applications or media is required. Perceptual technologies: Various perceptive technologies are being developed to trick your brain into believing that the digital source of information that it is exposed to is real. Humans have multiple methods of sensing their environment. Methods include Sight (visual), Hearing (audio), Touch (tactile), Taste (gustation), and Smell (olfaction). Most of the commercial research and development is focused on the Visual, Auditory and Tactile immersive solutions: Visual:3D (stereoscopic)Stereo displays present offset / slightly different images to both eyes. These 2 offset images give the brain a perception of 3D depth. Examples of stereo-display solutions:– Handheld stereoscopic viewers such as the View-Master which presents a set of miniaturized color-film transparencies on a cardboard disk to the viewer in 3D (I had one in the early 80’s).– Anaglyph 3D glasses, with red/cyan, red/green or red/blue colour filters used to watch anaglyph films.–"

"text": "\"If you are still trying to catch up to all of the new technology that makes up the world we currently live in, you might find yourself wondering what the exact difference between augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is. Both virtual reality and augmented reality have reached a point that we are seeing them practically implemented throughout our lives. Pokemon Go was perhaps the biggest way we have seen augmented reality used and we've probably all seen virtual reality video games or even amusement park rides. To fully understand each industry and the main differences, let's dive into the complexities of each. [ Image Source: Pixabay]Virtual Reality Virtual reality is a computer generated simulation world that presents the user with a fully emersed recreation of an environment. VR completely emerses the user inside of a fictional world with no reference to the actual world. A more concrete definition of VR places it as the \"\"use of computer technology to immerse the user in a simulated environment. \"\" When you use VR or virtual reality technology, you are entering into a world completely different than what is physically in front of you. This is almost always done through a virtual reality headset, which pairs a set of lenses with a digital screen giving the user the feeling of being in a virtual world. There are currently many virtual reality apps that can be coupled with cheap VR devices that give this virtual technology a fairly low barrier to entry on the surface level of application."

An Apple VR headset doesn't exist (yet), so Google Cardboard stole a lot of the limelight when it comes to i Phone virtual reality. But there is a breed of super-cheap headsets, apart from the Google Daydream View, that's i Phone compatible. These even support most i Phone handsets, from the old i Phone 5s to the more recent i Phone 8 and i Phone X. Read this: How does VR actually work? While mobile VR headsets obviously have nothing on the likes of the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Play Station VR, Cardboard-style sets have the chance to encourage large numbers of potential users to get on board with virtual reality. Apps-wise, you can access Cardboard apps, You Tube 360, Facebook's 360 videos and more. So what better place to start than with one of these i Phone-friendly headsets? Google Cardboard A low entry cost of virtual reality doesn't come much cheaper than an i Phone-compatible Cardboard kit. You can get an unofficial Cardboard headset for under $10 on Amazon, and with some of them you can get a strap and NFC so it powers up the app on command. There's also the official Cardboard from Google, which is compact and foldable."

Viruses are about 1,000 times smaller than bacteria and are visible under an electron microscope. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that reproduce asexually independently of other organisms. Viruses require the aid of a living cell in order to reproduce. Where Are They Found?

First, it is important to understand that not all viral infections have to end with the killing of a cell (a process called lysis). Many viruses can remain dormant in cells for long periods of time (a process called persistence), in which they express only a subset (if any) of their genes. Many viruses in this latter category generally can alter the host in ways that can affect population structure. In terms of bacterial ecology, bacteriophage (viruses of bacteria) have long been known to be important vectors for horizontal gene transfer. Specifically, phage have been shown to encode genes that: Increases the Pathogenecity of Bacteria Many of the toxins associated with bacterial infections are encoded by the phage that infect themselves infect the bacteria."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Microbiology Do Viruses exhibit all of the characteristics of life? Flag Do Viruses exhibit all of the characteristics of life? Answer by Hayden Crowley Confidence votes 39This question is arbitrary, but here's a negative opinion on this: Viruses do not have, nor exist as, a cell. Cells are a clear sign of life in any microbe, whether just one (unicellular) or many (multicellular). Viruses do not create proteins despite the presence of ribosomes in some. There are many strategies for a virus to obtain the needed protein, usually through a genome which supplies it for each new pathogen. The virus will oftentimes infect a host cell which integrates the genome and makes proteins for the virus with it's own ribosomes. Viruses DO contain DNA / RNA, but in order to replicate it, they require a host cell. Point of focus being, they 'hijack' the living aspect from the host cell. The protein coat of a virus can be considered a cell wall, but as for repelling outside forces, it is quite bad the purpose.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?"

How to read a phylogenetic tree Phylogenetics trees contain a lot of information about the inferred evolutionary relationships between a set of viruses. Decoding that information is not always straightforward and requires some understanding of the elements of a phylogeny and what they represent. Here is an example (fictional) phylogeny as it may be presented in a journal article: What information does the tree contain? We can start with the dimensions of the figure. In this figure the horizonal dimension gives the amount of genetic change. The horizonal lines are branches and represent evolutionary lineages changing over time. The longer the branch in the horizonal dimension, the larger the amount of change. The bar at the bottom of the figure provides a scale for this."

A phage is a virus that infects a bacterium. People often get very confused about what the difference is between a virus and a bacterium. A virus, like a bacterium, is also a microorganism, but unlike bacteria, it needs to have a host to be able to replicate and propagate. All bacteria have these natural viruses, just like we have viruses that make us sick and our children sick. All bacteria have their own sets of viruses, so they’re very specific. A virus, for example, that infects E. coli bacteria wouldn’t infect a different species of bacteria. Over 90% of all viruses found that infect bacteria fall into three families or ‘types’ of viruses, but for the thousands of types of bacteria that exist, there are even more sub-types of viruses within these three families.

Its easy to tell that a groundhog is alive but a book is not. But what properties does a groundhog have that a book does not? We can look up basic properties of living things in a biology textbook, and yet it remains difficult to define life in a simple sentence. I would argue that a virus is not alive. Viruses are completely dependent on host cells to replicate. That said, in absence of the host cell the virus clearly lacks most of the properties of a living thing. ( Does stealing those properties from a living thing count towards being alive?) Life seems to emerge from a collection of parts where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This emergent property, life, is present in animals, plants, bacteria etc, but in a virus infected cell, that property remains a part of the cell, not the virus."

The first step in answering these questions comes down to – are viruses alive or dead? How do we determine whether something is alive? Let’s compare viruses to the 7 criteria researchers have set to determine if something is alive.1. Living things must maintain homeostasis Homeostasis is all about balance – can something control its internal temperature, or its internal contents? In earlier drafts of criteria for life, the requirement was that living things must be made of cells. Viruses are not made out of cells. A single virus particle is known as a virion, and is made up of a set of genes bundled within a protective protein shell called a capsid."

"text": "\"Are Viruses Alive? Author Profile Created by George Rice, Montana State University\"\"Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others. In general, viruses are entirely composed of a single strand of genetic information encased within a protein capsule. Viruses lack most of the internal structure and machinery which characterize 'life', including the biosynthetic machinery that is necessary for reproduction. In order for a virus to replicate it must infect a suitable host cell\"\". From The Bacteriophage T4 Virus Artists conception of the T4 virus from Michael G. Rossmann's lab Background: When researchers first discovered agents that behaved like bacteria but were much smaller and caused diseases such as rabies and foot-and-mouth disease, it became the general view that viruses were biologically \"\"alive.\"\" However this perception changed in 1935 when the tobacco mosaic virus was crystallized and it was shown that the particles lacked the mechanisms necessary for metabolic function. Once it was established that viruses consist merely of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein shell, it became the scientific view that they are more complex biochemical mechanisms than living organisms. \"\""

"text": "Biol 105 Assignments, Evolution, Uncategorized Viruses: Dead or Alive August 6, 2010 David Esteban 28 Comments An ongoing question in virology is whether viruses are to be considered living creatures. Its easy to tell that a groundhog is alive but a book is not. But what properties does a groundhog have that a book does not? We can look up basic properties of living things in a biology textbook, and yet it remains difficult to define life in a simple sentence. I would argue that a virus is not alive. Viruses are completely dependent on host cells to replicate. That said, in absence of the host cell the virus clearly lacks most of the properties of a living thing. ( Does stealing those properties from a living thing count towards being alive?) Life seems to emerge from a collection of parts where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This emergent property, life, is present in animals, plants, bacteria etc, but in a virus infected cell, that property remains a part of the cell, not the virus."

"text": "It could mean you are days away from a genital herpes outbreak. Although genital herpes lesions are usually localized to the genitalia and anus, the virus that causes genital herpes is capable of causing buttock and leg pain as well. Read on to find out why this is. The Herpes Simplex Viruses Genital herpes is caused by two related viruses: Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV1 and HSV2, respectively). Although HSV1 is usually associated with cold sores and HSV2 with genital herpes lesions, they are both capable of causing either lesion type. How They Work Herpes viruses prefer to infect nerve cells. Because of this, they are very successful at evading the immune system which does not monitor the nervous system. Herpes simplex viruses first infect a human by entering through an opening on the skin, like a sore or a scrape. In genital herpes, this most often happens during sexual intercourse. After causing a mild illness, fatigue, fever, muscle aches much like many other viruses, the herpes simplex virus journeys up a nerve fiber until it reaches a root ganglion or a large bundle of nerves."

These transmissible agents, including satellite viruses, viroids, and prions, are termed subviral agents, because they do not fit into the conventional definition of “virus” and they are smaller and simpler. A satellite virus possesses a particle structure indistinguishable from an ordinary virus, but it differs from a regular virus in that its propagation depends on another virus. Viroids, which are found only in plants, are constituted of “RNA only.” Conversely, prions, which are an etiologic agent of transmissible neurodegenerative diseases, are comprised of “protein only.” Unlike other infectious agents, a host-coded prion protein (Pr P) solely constitutes the etiologic entity of prion diseases. In particular, Pr P Sc, a misfolded aggregation-prone isoform of the cellular prion protein (Pr P C ), is an infectious agent responsible for prion diseases. Keywords Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD); Kuru; satellite virus; prion protein (Pr P); prions; scrapie;transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE); viroids A number of virus-like transmissible agents have been discovered, which do not comply with the classical definition of “virus”. These virus-like agents cannot be classified as viruses in the strict sense; nonetheless, they were first considered as “viruses” until their nonviral features were unfolded later. Now, these virus-like transmissible agents are collectively termed “subviral agents.” ("

"text": "The Loom The Lurker: How A Virus Hid In Our Genome For Six Million Years Posted Fri, 05/10/2013In the mid-2000s, David Markovitz, a scientist at the University of Michigan, and his colleagues took a look at the blood of people infected with HIV. Human immunodeficiency viruses kill their hosts by exhausting the immune system, allowing all sorts of pathogens to sweep into their host’s body. So it wasn’t a huge surprise for Markovitz and his colleagues to find other viruses in the blood of the HIV patients. What was surprising was where those other viruses had come from: from within the patients’ own DNA. HIV belongs to a class of viruses called retroviruses. They all share three genes in common. One, called gag, gives rise to the inner shell where the virus’s genes are stored. Another, called env, makes knobs on the outer surface of the virus, that allow it to latch onto cells and invade them. And a third, called pol, makes an enzyme that inserts the virus’s genes into its host cell’s DNA. It turns out that the human genome contains segments of DNA that match pol, env, and gag."

Numerous types of animal cell culture have found application in virology. The choice of species, tissue of origin, and type of culture (primary, cell strain, or cell line) depends on the virus and experimental objectives. Each animal virus can replicate only in a certain range of cells. Among non-susceptible cells, some have a block at an early step. ( e.g. they lack suitable receptors or a factor required for expression of viral genes), so that the expression of all viral functions is prevented (resistant cells) Other cells lack a factor required for a later step, so that some, but not all viral activities are expressed (non-permissive cells). In either case, a heterokaryon formed by fusing a susceptible and a non-susceptible cell has the required functions and is usually susceptible. Role of nucleic acid - transfection The cells of higher organisms can be infected by naked viral nucleic acid, yielding normal virions. There are several important differences between infections by nucleic acid (transfection) and by virions.1. The efficiency of infection with nucleic acid is much lower, by a factor of 10 -6 to 10 -8 in ordinary media, showing the importance of the viral coat in infectivity."

"text": "\"Addiction Nicotine Use Smoking-Related Diseases How Smoking Depletes Your Body of Vitamins A Bad Combination: More Free Radicals and Less Antioxidants By Terry Martin | Reviewed by Sanja Jelic, MDUpdated November 24, 2017Share Pin Email Print Photograph © Kruscha Cigarette smoke is a toxic blend of poisons and cancer-causing chemicals that put virtually every internal organ at risk when people smoke. It creates an abundance of free radicals that can cause cellular damage and depletes essential vitamins and minerals in our bodies. Let's take a closer look. Cigarette Smoking and Vitamin Depletion We will talk about vitamins that are depleted when people smoke, but why is this important? Cigarette smoking speeds up the production of free radicals in our body. These free radicals are what causes the damage to cells that can eventually lead to cancer as well as other diseases. Yet even without smoking our bodies are exposed to free radicals every day that are generated by both toxins in our environment and the normal metabolic processes that are used to digest the food we eat. It's the production of free radicals (among other things) which bring vitamins into the picture. Vitamins are our shields of defense against free radicals. They basically neutralize free radicals so they cannot do their damage."

Trust me nature has made us like that. Our bodies are equipped to remove harmful toxins and abnormal cells when it is out of balance. Any type of treatment for uterine fibroids must specifically include certain vitamins and minerals. In this article I am going to share some of the vitamins which are absolutely a must if you desire to get rid of fibroids naturally. The best vitamins for fibroid cure are Vitamin A (Betacarotene), Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Vitamin A, also known as Betacarotene, is essential for fibroid treatment. It is helpful in protecting the body cells against damage and also assists cells to reproduce normally. Secondly red blood cells production is dependent on adequate supplies of Vitamin A. This vitamin also controls heavy bleeding, a common symptom of fibroids. Vitamin C is essential to absorb iron in the body.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases What is scurvy? Flag What is scurvy? Answer by Dx Nut Confidence votes 3.6KScurvy is a disease caused by a Vitamin C deficiency. It was common among early sailing ship crews who did not have a source of Vitamin C in their diets during long voyages. Scurvy presents itself as swollen bleeding gums and the opening of previously healed wounds. It was a particular problem among sailors in the days of sailing ships as they had no fresh food for long periods of their voyages. The British discovered that consumption of citrus fruits - particularly limes - could prevent this disease. The Royal Navy began issuing sailors with a ration of limes, which led to the British in general being referred to as \"\"limeys\"\". James Lind (1716-1794) was the one who insisted that the British use lemons to combat the disease, but the Royal Navy did not heed his advice right away. When limes were first used, the disease did not have a name, nor did they know what caused it."

As a result, it does not build up in your system and cases of vitamin C toxicity are rare. The recommended dietary allowance for women is 75 milligrams daily, while men should consume 90 milligrams every day. If you smoke, you should add another 35 milligrams because smokers need more antioxidant protection, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. The Institute of Medicine established a tolerable upper intake level of 2,000 milligrams. If you consume more than that from food or supplements, you may experience side effects, but you're not likely to get that much through your diet.

Unlike most other mammals, humans do not have the ability to make vitamin C, which means you need to consume it via your diet. Vitamin C has numerous functions in the human body, including acting as an essential cofactor in enzymatic reactions. In this way, it plays a role in your body's production of collagen, carnitine (which helps your body turn fat into energy), and catecholamines (hormones made by your adrenal glands), for starters. Vitamin C is also used by your body for wound healing, repairing, and maintaining the health of your bones and teeth, and plays a role in helping your body absorb iron. 1 However, it's vitamin C's role as an antioxidant that it is most well known for. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is known to block some of the damage caused by DNA-damaging free radicals. Over time, free radical damage may accelerate aging and contribute to the development of heart disease and other health conditions. It's through this antioxidant effect that it's thought vitamin C may play a role in protecting heart health – perhaps as much as exercise. Vitamin C May Be as Helpful to Your Heart as Walking A daily dose of vitamin C may have a similar effect as walking on a protein called endothelin-1, which promotes the constriction of small blood vessels."

"text": "Vitamin C, a dietary compound found in many foods that humans eat, can be taken in supplement form as a complement to the vitamin C obtained through regular diet. Because it is an essential nutrient, in that it cannot be manufactured by the human body, vitamin C must be ingested via foods, such as citrus fruits, as well as through supplementation. In fact, some consider it to be the most popular of all nutritional supplements. Vitamin C supplements are available in many forms, from powdered drink mixes to chewable tablets, and have numerous associated health benefits, including boosting immune response, reducing inflammatory diseases, and slowing the aging process. Also known as L- ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that it is readily dissolved in water and is passed in urine when taken in excess. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C is 75 to 90 milligrams daily; although the body can tolerate up to 2,000 milligrams daily, it is better absorbed when taken in smaller amounts. It is most greatly concentrated in plant sources — foods high in vitamin C include red bell peppers, kiwifruit, and broccoli — but can also be found in animal food sources since many animals can synthesize this vitamin. Because vitamin C is available in much smaller quantities in animals, people who do not get the recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables daily might consider taking vitamin C supplements. Ad There are many known benefits to vitamin C supplementation. It is a powerful antioxidant that is linked to the reduction of inflammatory diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer, and it has also been reported to boost immune response — increasing the body’s ability to fight infection."

At the bottom of the ocean, there are what are known as geologic \"\"hotspots,\"\" volcanically active areas that spit out molten rock from deep within the surface of the earth where temperatures are hot enough to melt rocks. If the hotspot releases enough molten rock, it forms into islands, but underwater mountains are also formed if it doesn't quite spit out enough material to form islands. Even though the hotspot remains fixed in one place, the tectonic plates which make up the earth's surface move above the hotspot. And so as the tectonic plate moves across the hotspot, a chain of islands and underwater mountains can be formed by the molten material that comes out of the hotspot.

Many of us only notice volcanoes when they are about to explode or disrupt our travel plans, but these spectacular forces of nature can have a significant impact on people living in the local area. While volcanoes can be destructive, they are also responsible for creating rich agricultural soil, minerals like gold and silver, diamonds, hot springs and geothermal energy. So how do these iconic wonders form, and what risks do they really pose? What is a volcano? A volcano is like a chimney that allows hot liquid rock, called magma, to flow from a layer within the Earth and erupt onto the surface. The magma can come from as far down as 200 kilometres in the mantle and once it erupts — at a piping hot 700 to 1,200 degrees Celsius — it is called lava. As magma rises through many kilometres to the Earth's surface, dissolved gases contained within it form expanding bubbles."

In the past has there ever been a time when humans would worship or at least have gods based on volcanoes? I need for a research project. thanks1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Volcanoes affect people in many ways, some are good, some are not. Some of the bad ways are that houses, buildings, roads, and fields can get covered with ash. your house may not collapse, but often the people leave because of the ash and are not around to continually clean off their roofs. If the ashfall is really heavy it can make it impossible to breathe. Lava flows are almost always too slow to run over people, but they can certainly run over houses, roads, and any other structures, Pyroclastic flows are mixtures of hot gas and ash, and they travel very quickly down the slopes of volcanoes. They are so hot and choking that if you are caught in one it will kill you."

"text": "\"How did the salt get into the oceans at the beginning of their formation? Question Date: 1998-03-18Answer 1: The oceans get saltier due to the rivers that flow into them. Water from the ocean evaporates, and then rains over land and forms rivers. As the rivers flow over the land, things like salt dissolve into the river and are carried out to the sea. Since the amount of water in the ocean is more or less constant, the sea keeps picking up more and more salt and doesn't have any place to get rid of it. In certain places, like the Salton Sea in California, the Great Salt Lake in Utah, or the Dead Sea in Israel, rivers flow into lakes that also evaporate - and the salt is concentrated more and more over time until the salt concentration is much higher than in the ocean - and nothing much can live in these lakes. Answer 2: The oceans formed about 4 to 4.5 billion !!!! years ago by the eruption of volcanoes that brought gases up to the earth's surface. Some of these gases condensed (went from gas to liquid state) and formed \"\"water \"\" to fill the low lying areas called ocean basins. The salt of the ocean is present because rain on the continents, or areas that stand above sea level, dissolves rocks a little bit as it travels eventually through the hydrologic cycle to the oceans."

A volcano is simply a rapture (opening or vent) on the earth's surface (crust) through which molten magma (extremely hot mixture of gases, lava, ash and other burning substances) escape on to the earth's surface. How do Volcanoes look like? A volcano looks like a mountain, although they are two different things. A mountain is a large natural rise of the earth's surface, more like a giant heap of sand. A volcano is also like a big heap of earth just that this heap is a mixture of lava, ash, dust, and other substances that have piled up over many years. It pours out of an opening in the earth after an eruption. This means volcanic eruptions or explosions can create elevations that we can call mountains. In May 1980, the Mountain St. Helens, in Washington USA , in May 1980, erupted or exploded and it was an awesome natural occurrence because it destroyed some parts of the landscape around it but at the same time it was a beautiful sight."

A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. Click Here to learn more about volcanoes from USGS. How are volcanoes formed?

Three main types of rocks can be identified on the Earth's surface: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is a model that describes how various geological processes create, modify and influence rocks. The rock cycle suggests that all rocks originated from magma. This model also suggests that all rock types can be melted back into magma by tectonic forces that return rock to the mantle. Time has a unique meaning to geoscientists. To a geoscientist time is not measured in seconds, minutes or days, but in eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Each one of these units measures time according to major geologic events that have occurred over the 4.6 billion years of Earth history. When a geoscientist mentions the Cretaceous we know that this is a time period that occurred between 65 to 144 million years ago.

There are many specific signs that a volcano is erupting (in addition to a flow of lava down its sides). Earth tremors, the release of gases and the expulsion of hot lava are some of these indicators. Before an Eruption Before a volcano erupts, there is normally an increase in earthquakes and tremors near and under the volcano. These are caused by magma (molten rock) pushing upward through the rock under the volcano. The ground may crack open and allow steam to escape. Gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, a gas that smells like eggs gone bad, frequently are present and escape in seams along the mountain. Hot springs in the area around the volcano may appear or change in appearance and temperature. Volcanic Gas During an eruption of a volcano, gases dissolved in the magma are released into the air. These gases can escape through many different places in the volcano, such as the large opening at the top or vents in the side."

Highly viscous magma may produce explosive clouds of hot ash and gases that evolve into buoyant plumes called eruption columns, because of the high viscosity of the silica-rich magma, a significant portion of the volatiles remain dissolved until the magma reaches a shallow depth, where tiny bubbles begin to form and grow. The bubbles and pressure create explosive reactions. But, when fluid lava erupts, the pressurized gases escape with relative ease.

"text": "\"Wake The need to mark someone's death as an event affecting a whole group of people who knew, or knew of, him or her is as fundamental to human life as the necessity to provide opportunities for private grief. This kind of social gathering is usually referred to as a wake. It takes various forms in particular parts of the world. Because death is a potentially frightening subject and there are many taboos surrounding it, wakes are often low-key occasions. Their origins, however, are in behavior that is less inhibited, and it is this to which one must turn in order to understand their psychological and sociological importance. Definitions of Wake and Their Implications Broadly speaking, wakes are parties or social gatherings held in connection with funerals. These sometimes involve keeping watch beside the corpse and behaving in a demonstrative way, either by lamenting or merry-making. This implication of unruliness is widespread. According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1978), the wake is \"\"a vigil celebrated with junketing and dancing.\"\" The word primarily means, of course, to prevent someone from sleeping, to wake the person up, to disturb the person's slumber and make it impossible for him or her to slip back into it."

When this happens, he said, part of the brain sends out an emergency alert to wake up and start breathing again. Other parts of the brain may be experiencing REM sleep where dreaming occurs. This 'jolt' can cause one to partially awaken into the 'twilight zone' halfway between dreaming and wakefulness. In my case, I am very curious about this 'altered state of consciousness' and I like to go deeper into it where the possibility of 'lucid dreaming' arises. I have lost all fear of sleep paralysis. I know (in the midst of it) that it is temporary and I shall soon awaken fully. I have learned to control this experience to some extent and have felt the conscious choice to wake up or go deeper or just float in it."

Scientists believe that dream helps in bridging the memory lanes with permutations of abstract ideas. Newly formed memory are sorted in their respective place using this bridging concept. Dreams, believed by many, showcases the power of brain - its ability to form clear images without any light input from eyes (even though eyes move frantically during dreaming -REM sleep). Many successful persons have reported that a seemingly complex problem which (s)he could not solve consciously for a period of time, suddenly in dream that person could find a solution overnight which was a result of permutations and combinations of silly abstract idea leading to the solution. ( I personally have found complex solutions overnight, some were very useful but majority were just silly!). Many people believe dream is a way of fore telling important future events/premonitions. ( Many such cases can be found in print and electronic media!). Hope it helps! Feel free to comment regarding clarification/correction!!"

Sometimes our dreams are silly and far-fetched, other times they're fearful or disturbing. Maybe you dream the same dream over and over again. Some people claim they can't remember their dreams. Dreaming is important. We need to dream. Dreams come from our subconscious minds and we can learn a lot about ourselves by analyzing them. They force us to see things that we do not want to deal with and they can help us remember something we couldn't remember when awake. There is meaning to every dream, and the most preposterous have meaning."

You may find yourself being chased by a spider, or struggling in its sticky web, maybe even seeing huge spiders in dreams or worried about being bitten. So what does it mean in your dream? Spiders belong to a group of animals known as arthropods, in dreams, the spider can denote the following: a web of lies, trust is being challenged, something is worrying you and the feeling of being trapped. As spiders do not have skeletons or bones it can suggest that you are feeling trapped in life by something that is unseen. This could be a job, financial worries or problems in life. From a spiritual perspective, spiders are often connected to possible deceit or that your emotions are currently running high. In order to decode this dream, I am going to firstly look at Sigmund Freud and his analysis of what spiders mean in a dream."

My life as a late riser I used to be a late riser. In 17 Tips to Be On Time, I mentioned that one of the reasons I used to be late in the past was from oversleeping. The only times I ever woke up early were when I absolutely had to: for school, work, and appointments. Even then, I’d wake up at the very last minute, scamper around the house to get ready, rush out in disarray, get a cab, and barely make it in time. Most of the time I was 5-10 minutes late; in the most extreme cases I would be 30 minutes or even an hour late. On a work day, my sleeping hours would be 2-9am (my previous workplace had flexible work hours). During the weekend, I would wake up somewhere between 12pm and 2pm. I never once thought to wake up early as a habit. Why should you wake up early?"

It can take time to master, but I have put years of experience and many polls into posts to help you get there as fast as possible. It might surprise you to realize there can be a wide variation of optimal lengths among babies. Below are some poll results from readers of this blog. These poll results really illustrate the fact that every baby is different. There are averages and there are most commons, but ultimately it is up to you to figure out what is the optimal waketime length for your baby. What is Optimal? Optimal means your baby goes down for a nap relatively easily without much crying. This is more applicable for younger babies or babies just starting sleep training. Some babies cry more than others during sleep training."

"text": "Waking Up at 3am…What does it mean and what can you do about it?by Lisa on May 19, 2012There have been times in my life, like now, when no matter what time I go to sleep, I always wake up super early in the morning. Waking up at 3am is not desirable for me–and I’m guessing it’s not for most other people either! When this happens, I don’t really feel tired, and I don’t really have much trouble going to sleep at night, but I wake up and sort of lay there doing nothing until it’s time to get up. I sometimes thought this was just because I’m so darn healthy that I don’t require much sleep. I go to bed relatively early, so that seemed plausible. But when I look back at other times when this was happening, it was in times of high stress in my life. I’ve read in research studies about how people who are depressed often wake up in the wee hours of the morning, unable to sleep. Back in the earlier 2000′s when I was waking up early, I figured it was because I was sort of depressed (which made sense—my sister had died, I moved home from Boston, and things were just kind of crappy…even though I was working through it semi-positively). But I’m not depressed now, so this really didn’t seem to apply to me. But I’ll be honest, I’m not doing a great job of managing my stress at the moment."

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 03, 2018Share Pin Email Print Steve Debenport / Getty Images Bystanders and lay rescuers at accidents are greatly concerned with keeping patients with a head injury awake after an accident. They're worried the patient may have a concussion. The belief is that if allowed to fall asleep, the patient will die. Is it necessary to keep patients with head injury from slipping into unconsciousness? No. Waking head injury patients every hour or so was the standard assessment tool many years ago, but treatment has changed with technology like CT and MRI scanners. Even today, however, it's easy to see how waking head injury patients (not necessarily keeping them awake) seems to be their ticket to survival. Glasgow Coma Scale (or Score)One low-tech tool that we still use to assess head injury patients is called the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which measures the brain's ability to function. The measurements take into account the patient's best responses to directions, touch, and his surroundings."

"text": "Print Overview Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (mak-roe-glob-u-lih-NEE-me-uh) is a rare type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells. If you have Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, your bone marrow produces too many abnormal white blood cells that crowd out healthy blood cells. The abnormal white blood cells produce a protein that accumulates in the blood, impairs circulation and causes complications. Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is considered a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It's sometimes called lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Symptoms Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is slow growing and may not cause signs and symptoms for many years. When they do occur, signs and symptoms may include: Easy bruising Bleeding from the nose or the gums Fatigue Weight loss Numbness in your hands or feet Fever Headache Shortness of breath Changes in vision Confusion When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs and symptoms that worry you. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes It's not clear what causes Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Doctors know that the disease begins with one abnormal white blood cell that develops errors (mutations) in its genetic code. The errors tell the cell to continue multiplying rapidly."

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is characterized by an abnormal antibody response to red blood cells resulting in hemolysis. AIHA encompasses three categories: warm autoimmune induced hemolytic anemia (w AIHA), cold agglutinin disease (CAD), and drug induced hemolytic anemia. II. Diagnostic Approach A. What is the differential diagnosis for this problem? AIHA must be distinguished from other causes of hemolytic anemia. Hemolysis can occur in a number of conditions including splenomegaly (from any cause), mechanical causes such as a mechanical valve, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), or hemolytic uremic syndrome or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP). These conditions, which show predominantly schistocytes, can be separated from autoimmune hemolytic anemia by peripheral smear, as spherocytes are often present in AIHA instead. Though spherocytes are seen in all types of AIHA they are less prevalent and sometimes absent in cold agglutinin disease."

"text": "MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) imaging has become preferred over other imaging modalities in evaluating disease in the bone marrow. 1 2 It is a noninvasive technique that complements bone marrow aspirations and biopsies by sampling a large volume of bone marrow and by providing information that aids the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of hematologic malignancies. The MR imaging appearance of the bone marrow depends on the presence and relative proportions of trabecular bone, fat, and water. Each of these constituents of the bone marrow produces a different MR signal. It is the summation of these signals that creates the final MR image. Because the bone marrow is a dynamic organ that changes continuously from birth through life, the MR appearance of the bone marrow varies with age. The predictable rate and patterns of red (hematopoietic) to yellow (fatty) marrow conversion and the unique characteristics of red and yellow marrow on MR images have allowed for the mapping of their age-related distributions in the skeleton. Fatty replacement of the functioning hematopoietic marrow begins in the periphery of the appendicular skeleton and proceeds centrally (Fig 1 ). In the long bones, fatty marrow first appears in the diaphyses and epiphyses and later in the metaphyses. 2-4 The adult pattern of red and yellow marrow distribution is reached in the early 20s; hematopoietic marrow remains throughout life in the spine, sternum, ribs, pelvis, skull, calcaneus, and proximal metaphysis of the humerus and femur."

"text": "\"Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a rare blood cell cancer characterized by an excess of abnormal white blood cells called lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow. This condition is classified as a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. The abnormal cells have characteristics of both white blood cells (lymphocytes) called B cells and of more mature cells derived from B cells known as plasma cells. These abnormal cells produce excess amounts of Ig M, a type of protein known as an immunoglobulin; the overproduction of this large protein is how the condition got its name (\"\"macroglobulinemia\"\"). Waldenström macroglobulinemia usually begins in a person's sixties and is a slow-growing (indolent) cancer. Some affected individuals have elevated levels of Ig M and lymphoplasmacytic cells but no symptoms of the condition; in these cases, the disease is usually found incidentally by a blood test taken for another reason. These individuals are diagnosed with smoldering (or asymptomatic) Waldenström macroglobulinemia. It can be several years before this form of the condition progresses to the symptomatic form. Individuals with symptomatic Waldenström macroglobulinemia can experience general symptoms such as fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Several other signs and symptoms of the condition are related to the excess Ig M, which can thicken blood and impair circulation, causing a condition known as hyperviscosity syndrome."

"text": "Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to destroy foreign invaders. There are five major types of antibodies: immunoglobulin A ( Ig A ), immunoglobulin G (Ig G), immunoglobulin M (Ig M), immunoglobulin E ( Ig E) and immunglobulin D ( Ig D ). An Ig G antibody helps to battle bacterial and viral infections. Comprising up to 80% of the all of these essential proteins, it is the smallest, yet most abundant, human antibody. Found in all bodily fluids, Ig G is the only antibody that can protect a fetus by passing through the mother's placenta. A physician may order a quantitative immunoglobulin blood test to determine the exact level of each type of antibody if the results of either a total blood protein test or serum protein electrophoresis test — which can measure each type of protein in the blood — are abnormal. The doctor may also order a quantitative immunoglobulin test if the patient's symptoms suggest an autoimmune disease, allergies, certain blood cancers, or recurring infections. The test is also used to follow-up on the treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria and to confirm a response to a vaccination already given, to ensure that the patient has achieved immunity to the disease. Normal levels of the Ig G antibody usually fall in the range of 565–1765 mg/d L (5.65–17.65 g/L). A higher than normal level can suggest an Ig G monoclonal gammopathy, such as multiple myeloma — a cancer of the blood and bone marrow — or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) — a benign, but sometimes pre-malignant condition."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Plasma cell dyscrasia Classification and external resources Specialty Hematology ICD - 10 C90ICD-O 9730-9739Me SH D054219 [ edit on Wikidata]Plasma cell dyscrasias (also termed plasma cell disorders and plasma cell proliferative diseases) are a spectrum of progressively more severe monoclonal gammopathies in which a clone or multiple clones of pre-malignant or malignant plasma cells (sometimes in association with lymphoplasmacytoid cells or B lymphocytes) over-produce and secrete into the blood stream a myeloma protein, i.e. an abnormal monoclonal antibody or portion thereof. The exception to this rule is the disorder termed non-secretory multiple myeloma; this disorder is a form of plasma cell dyscrasia in which no myeloma protein is detected in serum or urine (at least as determined by conventional laboratory methods) of individuals who have clear evidence of an increase in clonal bone marrow plasma cells and/or evidence of clonal plasma cell-mediated tissue injury (e.g. plasmacytoma tumors). At one end of this spectrum of hematological disorders, detection of one of these myeloma proteins in an individual's blood or urine indicates the presence of a common and clinically silent disorder termed MGUS, i.e. monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. At the other end of this spectrum, detection of the myeloid protein indicates the presence of a hematological malignancy, i.e. multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, or other B cell -associated neoplasm, that derives stepwise from its MGUS precursors. [ 1] [2]The clinical importance of understanding this spectrum of diseases is that it can be used to: a) advise individuals on the likelihood of their condition progressing to a malignant phase; b) monitor individuals for the many complications that may occur at any stage of the dyscrasias so that they can be treated to avoid or reduce their clinical impacts; and c) monitor patients for transitions to malignancy so that the malignancy can be treated at an early stage when treatment results are best. [ 3] Unless otherwise noted, the advice and monitoring given here are those recommended by the International Myeloma Working Group in 2014 [4] and updated in 2016.

They contribute to immunity by making antibodies that bind with and thereby initiate the process of neutralizing specific antigens that usually are found on the surface of invading pathogens and foreign substances. Plasma cells develop from B lymphocytes which are stimulated to undergo this maturational development by T lymphocytes during the latter cells' processing of these antigens. As they are stimulated to become plasma cells, B cells refashion parts of their genome in efforts to create a new gene that encodes a functional antibody."

"text": "\"Why Rituxan takes so long to kill Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia Posted to IWMF-Talk on 1/20/11The question of why Rituxan can in some people take many months before seeing results is a very interesting question and I don’t think anyone has a good explanation. The most obvious guess is that the IL-6 production stimulates the Ig M production and so it \"\"masks\"\" the true impact of the treatment for months. We do know a lot of bits and pieces that might explain what is going on. Here are some things we know:1) In imaging studies in mice, sufficiently high doses of Rituxan kills virtually all the WM cells in the marrow in a matter of days. This was done by imaging studies in rats.2) In the same mice studies, using a lower dose had virtually no effect on the WM.3) Rituxan triggers elevation of IL-6 which causes increased Ig M production (the \"\"Ig M flare\"\") that can last for months. Therefore, the “true results” of the killing on infusion day can be “masked” from us for quite some time4) I don't know what the half life of Rituxan is on its own in the body. The Wikipedia page lists 30 to 400 hours but that is much more likely the result of the body clearing the Rituxan, rather than how long the antibody itself lives for. Does anyone know this number?5) Rituxan is cleared from the body at a pretty fast rate (exponentially as you'd expect). In 21 days, 75% of the stuff they put in you has been filtered out by your body. You can see the curves here if you look at Figure 1: http://www.skirsch.com/wm/wm Low Dose Rituxan.htm What that means is that if you are trying to use the least possible drug and achieve a given minimum blood concentration, you should use frequent small doses rather than infrequent large doses.6) Ofatumumab (similar to rituxan) has no incremental effect after a certain body concentration is reached."

Normal marrow conversion During infancy red marrow occupies the entire ossified skeleton except for epiphyses and apophyses. Gradually red marrow 'retreats' centrally, such that by 25 years of age it is essentially confined to the axial skeleton (pelvis, spine, shoulder girdle, skull). The conversion of red to yellow marrow begins peripherally (phalanges) before occurring in the femora/humeri. Within the long bones, the epiphysis is the first undergo conversion followed by the diaphysis before extending to the metadiaphysis 5,6 . Also, islands of red marrow may be seen anywhere in the skeleton, typically in a subcortical distribution, often with central yellow marrow giving it a bull's eye appearance on axial imaging.

The total protein blood test measures the amount of all proteins found in the liquid part of the blood. An elevated level of protein in the blood may indicate inflammation, infection, a bone marrow disorder or other conditions. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key High Protein in the Blood A high total protein level can be the result of chronic inflammation or infection, such as with viral hepatitis or HIV, a bone marrow disorder like multiple myeloma, or dehydration. Total protein can also be increased during pregnancy. Certain drugs can increase total protein including insulin, progesterone, growth hormones, and steroids. A tourniquet applied for too long during blood collection may also falsely elevate total protein. Additional testing maybe required to determine the specific cause of the elevated protein level.

It is an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia, and connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Approximately 15% of all cases of multiple myeloma produce only free kappa or lambda light chains in excess. These patients frequently show no abnormality on serum protein electrophoresis. Quite often urine is tested for the presence of these light chains, which are also called Bence Jones Proteins. However, the FLCs entering the urine are strongly influenced by renal tubular function. When clonal proliferation of plasma cells starts to develop, the FLC concentration increases in serum. Since these small particles are rapidly cleared by the renal tubules, urine tests for FLCs remain negative until the tumor mass expands, and the FLCs in serum exceed the resorptive capacity of the renal tubules. Therefore, the measurement of FLCs in serum is an alternative to less sensitive urine testing."

Walruses may occasionally prey on fishes such as polar cod. Walruses may eat the carcasses of young seals when food is scarce. There are some rare but habitual seal-eating walruses. Their diet consists mainly of ringed and bearded seals. These are usually male walruses, recognizable because they are usually larger than other males, with powerful shoulder and chest muscles. Their skin may become grease-stained from the blubber of the seals they prey on. Food Intake Adult walruses eat about 3% to 6% of their total weight per day. Adults may eat as many as 3,000 to 6,000 clams in a single feeding session."

Underneath that thick skin is a surprisingly sensitive spirit. But still, it's difficult to embarrass a walrus. Nothing in life is taken so seriously that it cannot be laughed at. Its infectious love for life contaminates everyone who has unprotected encounters with this hearty beast."

"text": "Pinniped Evolution (marine mammals)The name Pinnipedia was first proposed for fin-footed car’ nivores more than a century ago. Pinnipeds—fur seals and sea lions, walruses, and seals—are one of three major clades of modern marine mammals, having a fossil record going back at least to the late Oligocene [27 to 25 millions of years before present (Ma)]. The earliest pinnipeds were aquatic carnivores with well-developed paddle-shaped limbs and feet. A North Pacific origin for pinnipeds has been hypothesized; the group subsequently diversified throughout the worlds oceans. I. Pinniped Ancestry: Origin and Affinities There has long been debate about the relationship of pinnipeds to one another and to other mammals. The traditional view, also referred to as diphyly, proposes that pinnipeds originated from two carnivore lineages, an odobenid (walrus) plus otariids (fur seals and sea lions) grouping affiliated with ursids (bears) and phocids (seals) being related to mustelids (weasels. skunks, otters, and kin) (Fig. 1A). The current view supported by cladistic analysis of both morphologic and molecular data supports pinnipeds as monophyletic (having a single origin). Although the hypothesis presented here positions ursids as the closest relatives of pinnipeds, it is acknowledged that there is difficult)’ separating the various lineages of arctoid carnivores (mustelids, procyonids, and ursids) at their point of divergence (Fig. IB)."

They include animals such as seals, whales, manatees, sea otters and polar bears. They do not represent a distinct taxon or systematic grouping, but rather have a polyphyletic relation due to convergent evolution, as in they do not have an immediate common ancestor. They are also unified by their reliance on the marine environment for feeding. Marine mammal adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle varies considerably between species. Both cetaceans and sirenians are fully aquatic and therefore are obligate water dwellers. Seals and sea-lions are semiaquatic; they spend the majority of their time in the water, but need to return to land for important activities such as mating, breeding and molting. In contrast, both otters and the polar bear are much less adapted to aquatic living. Their diet varies considerably as well; some may eat zooplankton, others may eat fish, squid, shellfish, sea-grass and a few may eat other mammals. While the number of marine mammals is small compared to those found on land, their roles in various ecosystems are large, especially concerning the maintenance of marine ecosystems, through processes including the regulation of prey populations."

When it comes to survival one of the most crucial parts of life for marine mammals such as dolphins is there ability to locate and obtain abundant sources of high quality foods. Without abundant quantities of fish and other types of prey dolphins would have a hard time thriving in the ocean and inhibiting certain types of environments where particular food sources are likely to live. When it comes to the types of foods dolphins consume these marine mammals are known to eat a number of different fish, various oceanic animals and in some cases marine mammals. The consumption of marine mammals however is restricted to certain locations and limited to only 2 or so known dolphin species. Most species of dolphin will hunt for and consume fish such as cod, herring and mackerel, however in areas such as the amazon dolphins may also consume piranha and other local fish. Aside from fish dolphins are known to hunt a variety of small and large squid, octopus, sea turtles, plankton, krill, cephalopods and a variety of other crustaceans. Common foods dolphins consume: Fish Squid Octopus Sea turtles Plankton Krill Crustaceans Cephalopods Marine mammal (rare and species restricted)While most species of dolphin are known to consume small fish, crustaceans and other forms of small prey larger dolphins such as the killer whale and false killer whale may hunt other marine mammals, large animals and marine birds when smaller prey such as fish, squid and crustaceans may not be an available choice or a sufficient food source for their needs. Killer whales in particular are know to focus on specific diets based on where they live and the pod they belong to. Areas that supply large quantities of marine mammals such as Alaska make excellent hunting grounds for killer wales that thrive off of marine mammal meat while various locations in the North Pacific offer large quantities of fish and squid for non marine mammal eating killer whales."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 21 Basic Mammal Groups Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 27, 2017Classifying a family of vertebrates as broad and diverse as mammals is a notoriously difficult undertaking: different people have different views about what constitutes orders, superorders, clades, cohorts, and all the other confusing terms biologists use when untangling the branches of the tree of life.01of 21Aardvarks (Order Tubulidentata)Getty Images The aardvark is the only living species in order Tubulidentata. This mammal is characterized by its long snout, arched back and coarse fur, and its diet consists primarily of ants and termites, which it procures by tearing open insects nests with its long claws. Aardvarks live in the savannas, woodlands and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, their range extending from southern Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, on the southernmost tip of the continent. The closest living relatives of the aardvark are even-toed hoofed mammals and (somewhat surprisingly) whales!02of 21Armadillos, Sloths and Anteaters (Order Xenarthra)Getty Images Originating in South America about 60 million years ago, only five million years after the dinosaurs had gone extinct, xenarthrans are characterized by their oddly shaped vertebrae (hence their name, Greek for \"\"strange joint.\"\") The sloths, armadillos and anteaters that belong to this order also have the most sluggish metabolisms of any extant mammals, and the males have internal testicles. Today, xenarthrans lurk on the fringes of the mammalian mainstream, but during the Cenozoic Era, they were some of the largest animals on earth: witness the five-ton prehistoric sloth Megatherium, as well as Glyptodon, the two-ton prehistoric armadillo.03of 21Bats (Order Chiroptera)Wikimedia Commons The only mammals capable of powered flight, bats are represented by about a thousand species divided into two main families: megabats and microbats. Also known as flying foxes, megabats are about the size of squirrels, and eat only fruit; microbats are much smaller, and enjoy more varied diets, ranging from the blood of grazing animals to insects to the nectar of flowers. Most microbats, but very few megabats, have the ability to echolocate--that is, bounce high-frequency sound waves off their surroundings in order to navigate dark caves and tunnels.04of 21Carnivores (Order Carnivora)Wikimedia Commons The order of mammals without which no TV nature documentary would be complete, carnivores are divided into two broad categories: feliforms and caniforms. Feliforms include not only obvious felines (like lions, tigers, cheetahs and house cats), but also hyenas, civets and mongooses, while caniforms extend beyond dogs and wolves to also include bears, foxes, raccoons, and numerous other hungry critters, including the classic pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses). As you may already have surmised, carnivores are characterized by their sharp teeth and claws; they're also equipped with at least four toes on each foot.05of 21Colugos (Order Dermoptera)Wikimedia Commons Never heard of colugos?"

These ten animals have adapted themselves to the extreme conditions prevailing in their habitats over the centuries and can thrive and survive in extreme cold weather.10. Snow Leopard Found in the mountain ranges of Central Asia, Snow Leopard is a moderately large cat having a short muzzle and domed forehead. They have a spotted smoky gray to yellowish coat of thick, long fur which helps them to stay warm in the biting cold of alpine and semi-alpine regions of Central Asia. A long and flexible tail helps them maintain their balance on a rocky terrain. Their thick tails, containing a large amount of fat, are covered with lush fur and act as cozy blankets which protect their faces during sleep. They have small, rounded ears and stocky bodies covered with thick fur, all of which minimize heat loss. Wide furry paws, powerful legs and fur on their undersides help them walk long distances in the thick snow besides improving their grip on steep and unstable surfaces."

There are quite a number of animals that live in the Gobi, Great Basin, and Atacama deserts. They have developed special adaptations to withstand the cold temperatures, like the presence of very thick fur and the inability to sweat. But mammals are more likely to appear in cold deserts than reptiles. With coats of fur and warm blood (meaning that they can maintain a stable internal temperature even when the ambient atmospheric temperature dips), mammals are well-adapted to deal with freezing winters. However, some lizards and snakes do make their homes in certain cold deserts. In the Gobi, there live bactrian camels, gazelles, golden eagles, gerbils, jerboas, lizards, wolves, and even the elusive snow leopard. The smallest animal species living in the Gobi is known as the jerboa.

The Oregon Zoo curator in charge of its two polar bears is hosting a talk Feb. 24 on the fate of the kings of the arctic, whose habitat and food sources have dwindled as polar ice melts. I spoke with Cutting about how the zoo is working to save polar bears struggling to cope with climate change. Why are polar bears relevant to Oregonians? Portlanders are so conscious of their footprint and how their actions influence wildlife and wild places. While polar bears don't live in a place where a lot of people live, they're impacted greatly by how people live their lives. We know climate change is substantially influenced by human-caused emissions and every single one of us has the ability to do something about that, no matter where you live. We talk about climate change so much, but are there other factors playing into polar bears' struggle? For years, overhunting and oil development and human encroachment on habitat were the big threats. But all of that has become completely secondary to the fact that the ice beneath their feet is literally melting away."

But once they slip into the water, they become fast swimmers. Their bodies are streamlined, and far more flexible than those of land mammals, so that they can twist and turn with amazing speed and grace as they play or chase after their prey. Seals are sea mammals. Most seals hunt fish. A few kinds feed on krill, and walruses eat shellfish and sea urchins. Seals can hunt in murky or dark water. The whiskers around their face can detect the changes in water pressure as something swims past. Even blind seals can feed.

These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber. Walrus Tusks Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their “tooth-walking” label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet, and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.

It was often confused with the Tristan Albatross and the Antipoden Albatross as belonging to the same species, some authors still consider them as the same species. The Wandering Albatross is one of the largest living birds in the world, with the largest wingspan of any living bird at a wingspan of about 3.5m (12 ft). The Wandering Albatross is currently listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, with pollution, such as plastics and fishing hooks presenting a sizable threat to the population. Scientific Classification Table Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Aves Order Procellariiformes Family Diomedeidae Genus Diomedea Species D. Exulans Habitat and Range The Wandering Albatross is mainly seen flying over the southern oceans, they have several year-round colonies at islands in the Antarctic Ocean. They regularly breed in South Georgia, Prince Edward islands, Crozet Islands, Kerguelen Islands and Macquarie Islands. Their habitat is mainly in open vegetation and near exposed ridges. The total amount of breeding pairs is about 8,500, which is equivalent to about 28,000 mature individuals of Wandering Albatrosses. The population of Wandering Albatrosses has generally shown a decreasing trend in recent years, with South Georgian Islands breeding population declining by 4% per year as of 2006 and the breeding population in the Crozet Islands also show decline. The Wandering Albatross has a wide range, due to its large wings and the ability to fly for long distances, it can be found in all southern oceans, but it is rarely seen northward of latitiude 30° South and south of latitude 60° South."

"text": "\"Climax Definition What is the climax of a plot? Here’s a quick and simple definition: The climax of a plot is the story's central turning point—the moment of peak tension or conflict—which all the preceding plot developments have been leading up to. In a traditional \"\"good vs. evil\"\" story (like many superhero movies) the climax is typically the moment when the hero finally confronts or does battle with the villain. However, climaxes are not always so easy to spot. For instance, there's widespread disagreement as to whether the climax of Romeo and Juliet occurs in the middle of the play, when Romeo kills his rival Tybalt in a big showdown and then must flee Verona, or at the end of the play, when Romeo finds Juliet unconscious and, thinking her dead, kills himself by drinking poison. Some additional key details about climax: Any type of narrative work can have a climax, including works of nonfiction and poetry. Authors don't include signposts in their work like \"\"here comes the climax.\"\" As a result, especially with less plot-driven works, the exact location of the climax is often a matter open to the reader's interpretation. The term \"\"climax\"\" also refers to a figure of speech in which words are arranged in order of increasing importance or power (\"\"It's a bird! It's a plane!"

Non-breeding California brown pelicans range northward along the Pacific Coast from the Gulf of California to Washington and southern British Columbia. Roosting and loafing sites provide important resting habitat for breeding and non-breeding birds. Important roosting sites include offshore rocks and islands, river mouths with sand bars, breakwaters, pilings, and jetties along the Pacific Coast and San Francisco Bay. Notable: The brown pelican was listed as endangered in 1970 because of widespread pollutant-related reproductive failures. They are extremely sensitive to bioaccumulation of the pesticide DDT, which causes reproductive failure by altering calcium metabolism and thinning eggshells. In 1985, brown pelicans on the Atlantic Coast, had recovered enough that they could be removed from the endangered species list. Although California breeding populations have rebounded since the elimination of DDT use, persistent residues in the coastal environment continue to cause chronic reproductive problems. Despite the banning of DDT, some birds still show relatively high levels of pesticides in their tissues."

"text": "Themes and Symbolism of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner One of the themes in Rime of the Ancient Mariner is Sin and Redemption. After the Mariner commits the sin of shooting the Albatross, guilt begins to manifest in all kinds of super natural forms. The Albatross is a representative of nature, but means nothing to the Mariner. Nature quickly changes and began punishing him for killing the symbol of nature. He is then penalized by the rays of the sun and mocked by the sight of water that he could not drink. Afterward the Mariner begins realizing what the beauty of nature really means to him. At this point he has a change of heart and repents his wrong doing. The mariner begins to find his salvation when he starts to see the ‘slimy things’ as creatures of strange beauty. He now understands the Albatross is a symbol of nature and he realizes what he had done wrong. The bird, which is hung around his neck as a punishment, falls into the water and makes the change from punishment to penance."

They have a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live all over the world. They range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.70m (9 ft) ostrich. They are the class of tetrapods with the most living species: about ten thousand.

The seabirds range from the Tiny Storm-petrel to the Antipodean Wandering Albatross, one of the largest flying birds in the world. Thousands of seabirds nest on the main Antipodes Island and marine mammals fill the shores and surrounding waters. Invasive mice were accidentally introduced to Antipodes Island in the 19 th century, possibly by shipwrecks. High densities of invasive mice are destroying the natural ecosystem cycle on Antipodes Island, predominantly by eating invertebrates, vegetation, and possibly bird eggs and chicks. Following removal of invasive mice, we expect a significant increase in native invertebrates, which will aid in the natural recovery of the ecosystem, along with native seeds and vulnerable plants. The return of some smaller seabirds currently limited in distribution and population size to the outer mouse-free islands is also anticipated. SAVING NEW ZEALAND’S RAREST SPECIES1. ANTIPODES ISLAND PARAKEETThe Antipodes Island Parakeet is endemic to the Antipodes Islands, one of two parrot species found on the islands, and one of only five ground-dwelling parrots in the world. They may live up to 10-years-of-age, but the introduction of mice that compete for food is a threat to their survival on the Antipodes Islands."

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

Albatross About The Albatross Albatross population has suffered a dramatic decline during the last decade. As of 2009, 19 of the 22 species are officially recognized as either vulnerable, nearly threatened or critically endangered. While most species still have several thousand breeding couples, some, like the Amsterdam Island albatross, have dwindled to less than a few hundred. These birds are facing extinction if action is not taken immediately. Some Facts About the Albatross To many of us, familiarity with this unique bird starts with reading poetry. Two bards, Coleridge and Baudelaire, immortalized the albatross in their works, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and The Albatross, respectively. Both expressed qualities that we attribute to albatrosses till this day: independence, solitude, fortitude and omen. Albatrosses possess a combination of physical traits rare among marine birds. They have wings designed for gliding winds, and they travel by riding ocean updrafts, sometimes for hours."

"text": "\"Some animals and plants smell plain horrible, making whiffs of excrement or rotting meat. These pongs have proved to be valuable tools By Jasmin Fox-Skelly10 June 2015Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry. The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away. The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m. Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. The skunk is not the only animal to use foul smells to get rid of predators. The green wood hoopoe, a tropical bird native to Africa, points its tail at threatening animals and excretes a foul stench. The chemicals responsible for the smell include dimethyl sulphide, which gives rotten eggs their distinctive smell. Young green wood hoopoes can also squirt liquid faeces when attacked."

These feathered giants have the longest wingspan of any bird—up to 11 feet! The wandering albatross is the biggest of some two dozen different species. Albatrosses use their formidable wingspans to ride the ocean winds and sometimes to glide for hours without rest or even a flap of their wings. They also float on the sea's surface, though the position makes them vulnerable to aquatic predators. Albatrosses drink salt water, as do some other sea birds. Breeding These long-lived birds have reached a documented 50 years of age. They are rarely seen on land and gather only to breed, at which time they form large colonies on remote islands. Mating pairs produce a single egg and take turns caring for it."

"text": "What Do Wasps Eat? Posted by Staff Writer in Wasp Stings There are more than 20,000 different species of wasps and their relatives in existence worldwide, each with a varying diet, some preferring nectar, others living on insects. Adult wasps and larval young have quite different eating habits. The tiny, narrow waist of an adult wasp prohibits it from eating solid food, as it can’t pass through the constricted abdomen. Adult wasps prefer nectar or even the internal juices of caterpillars and other insects. They do not have the sucking mouthparts of a bee and must ingest their food by licking the nectar or other liquid. Feeding the Young Wasps in the Nest Many larval wasps eat only meat, brought to them by the adult worker wasps. The adults fly from the nest, seeking insects including spiders, flies, beetles, and others. Grasping them with their jaws, they sting the prey, paralyzing it. Then, they fly back to the nest to feed the immature wasp larvae the fresh kill."

"text": "Predators, parasites and parasitoids Many animals are predators, parasites or parasitoids, using other animals as food. They use a great diversity of hunting strategies and behaviours to capture or feed on their prey. Invertebrate predators, parasites and parasitoids play an important role in keeping many animal populations under control. King Cricket eating Funnel-web Spider Photographer: Ramon Mascord © Australian Museum What is a predator? A predator is an organism that captures and eats another (the prey). This act is called predation. In general, predators share the following features: They are usually larger than their prey, or overwhelm their prey by attacking in large numbers like ants. Most do not have specific prey and feed on a wide range of animals which, in some cases, they consume in large numbers. Lady beetles for example, can devour several hundred aphids in a day. Some are specific, targeting a particular prey group."

"text": "How can I prevent wasps? There are a few things you can do to prevent wasps nesting in and around your home and garden. To do this, you need to understand how and why wasps choose to nest where they do. Preventing nests Prevention is better than cure so identifying where wasps could build their nests is a good place to start. Wasps will nest where they can find shelter from rain and dampness, favouring dry, dark and secluded places away from disruption. You could consider doing the following: Check you loft for small holes and gaps as this is the most common way wasps gain entry to loft spaces. Seal these holes and use insect mesh to cover air bricks and soffits. Adding light to small places where you may have had nests previously is an effective way to discourage future nest building as wasps do not like light. A low wattage light will do. You can treat timber with a wasp repellent mix of eucalyptus oil, menthol and cintronella oil, using teak oil as a carrier."

However, some people are allergic to stings and can develop reactions that can be life-threatening. Call an ambulance immediately if you suspect an allergic reaction soon after being stung. If you are stung by a bee and the stinger remains in the skin, scrape out the stinger as quickly as possible. Do not pluck it out as this may squeeze more venom into the skin. Insect bites (not stings) rarely cause serious allergic reactions but can cause small itchy lumps to appear on the skin.

These hornworms, actually the larval stage of the sphinx moth, before you even see them blending into the foliage, will eat whole leaves, small stems and parts of your green tomatoes. They don’t just eat tomatoes either, they enjoy peppers and eggplants as well as potatoes.

Once, you have ahold of it, you can either squash it under your feet (EW) or plunk it into a container of soapy water to drown it.

If bees or wasps are a problem, getting into the nectar of your hummingbird feeder or preventing your hummingbirds from feeding, here are a few tips you can use:* Use a hummingbird feeder with bee guards, so the bees can’t get into the nectar. * Try feeders that have no yellow in them. The color yellow could be attractive to bees. Try painting the yellow parts with red nail color. * If the bees are actually yellow jackets, a kind of wasp, you may be able to reduce the population with yellow jacket traps. * Relocate the feeder: Once hummingbirds find a food source, they will visit it frequently. Insects are only likely to visit convenient food sources and are less inclined to search for relocated feeders. Moving the feeder by just a few feet can minimize the insect visitors without discouraging the hummingbirds or orioles. * Move your hummingbird feeder to a very shady location."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature What Do Tarantulas Eat? Share Flipboard Email Print Snowleopard1/Getty Imagesby Debbie Hadley Updated October 16, 2017Tarantulas are carnivores. Depending on their size, tarantulas eat insects or even larger prey, such as frogs, mice, and birds. They eat all kinds of insects, especially larger ones like crickets and grasshoppers, June beetles, cicadas, millipedes, caterpillars and other spiders. Larger tarantulas will also eat frogs, toads, small rodents, lizards, bats and small snakes. A South American species, the Goliath birdeater, is known to eat small birds as well, although this makes up only a small part of their diet. How Tarantulas Catch and Eat Their Prey Like other spiders, tarantulas cannot eat their prey in solid form. When a tarantula captures a live meal, it first bites the prey with its sharp fangs, also known as the chelicerae, and then injects it with a paralyzing venom. Once the prey is immobilized, the tarantula secretes digestive enzymes that liquefy the prey. The fangs are also used to chew or break down the prey item, along with sharp, jagged plates that are located near the fangs that can also aid in cutting or crushing food."

Other members of the order Hymenoptera such as Honey Bees and Red Ants will do the same.

Pheromones alert other cast members within the colony that the nest is being threatened and more wasps join the attack. What Is A Primed Wasp Nest? A Primed Nest – a wasps nest that has already been disturbed, e.g. by a football being kicked near it, is extremely dangerous!

It then grasped the piece of chicken it had cut out with its legs and flew off. This scene was repeated three times before we left the restaurant (not sure if it was the same wasp) -- each time it ignored other items on the plate (nachos grande including beans, vegetables, nachos, rice, etc.) and went straight for the chicken. I have a few questions!What's the usual diet for a wasp and is it usual for them to eat chicken (and even choose it preferentially over other foods like nachos, beans, vegetables, etc.)? Where did the wasp go with that big piece of chicken? To a quiet spot to eat it alone like a bird or squirrel might do, or to take it back to a hive to share? Finally, how do wasps eat?

Being alkaline attempts to answer the question of how can we prevent our health from deteriorating, or better yet, how can we regain our youth. Being alkaline is your chance to learn how to create a level of consistent health and energy. When applied seriously, you will see the vitality first hand by the results it will produce. A major part that plays an importance in being alkaline is to hydrate your body properly. Since the water we drink provides for all cellular and bodily functions (like digestion, respiration, perspiration, elimination, etc. ), the decrease in our daily water intake affects the efficiency of all cellular activity.

Nebraskans living in zone 5 can safely plant at the earliest recommended date; those who live in zone 4 may have to wait if frost lingers. March The University of Nebraska at Lincoln Horticulture Extension Service recommends March 15 as the planting date for asparagus crowns, collards, onion sets, peas, radishes, spinach and turnips. Radishes will taste sweeter if they are grown in cool weather, according to UNL. Hold off until March 30 to plant leeks, mustard, potatoes and Swiss chard.

They are well known for a strong, peppery taste that can clear out your sinuses. Radishes are a good source of some vitamins, dietary fiber and antioxidants, but not a great source of most minerals. However, the mineral content of radishes and all other vegetables and fruits is dependent on the quality of soil. Furthermore, different varieties of radish contain slightly different ratios of minerals. Radishes The radish, or Raphanus sativus, is a member of the Brassicaceae family along with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and turnips. The word raphanus is Greek for “fast growing,” whereas the word radish is derived from Latin and means root. The radish is a fast-growing root vegetable. The radish was domesticated in Europe in ancient times, but they are now grown and eaten throughout the world. Most types of radish are red on the outside and off-white on the inside, but not all varieties."

There is nothing quite as refreshing as a cool slice of watermelon in the hot summer days of July and August. In addition to tasting great, watermelons are a leading source of lycopene (commonly found in tomatoes), in addition to being a very good source of vitamin A and C. Where to Grow Watermelons Because watermelons require a long, warm growing season, their best production in the United States occurs in the South and Southwest regions, where there is ample growing time and warm weather. Home gardeners in cooler regions can usually do fairly well with watermelons if they start seed indoors a month or more ahead of planting outdoors, but the vines need consistently warm days and nights to thrive. Watermelons need at least 80-100 consecutive days of very warm summer temperatures, at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Watermelons also prefer warm nights, above 70 degrees Fahrenheit is preferred. Watermelons are a warm-season crop, very tender to frost and light freezes."

One such varietal, the watermelon radish, is a creamy white specimen and green underneath with a striated pink interior looking much akin to a watermelon. So, what is a watermelon radish? What do watermelon radishes taste like and what other watermelon radish facts might entice us into growing them? Let’s find out. What is a Watermelon Radish? Watermelon radishes are an heirloom variety of Daikon radish, one of my favorites. They are a member of the mustard family, which includes arugula and turnip. An interesting watermelon radish fact tells us that the Chinese word for these radishes is Shin Ri-Mei, meaning “beauty in the heart.” One only needs to slice into one of these beauties to understand the meaning behind the name."

It is suitable to have plain/flavored milk (check the sugar content), curd or low-fat buttermilk and not aerated drinks. Coconut water is a great option as it is rich in potassium that helps in reducing blood pressure and keeps you hydrated by maintaining your body’s electrolytes. Fruit juices contain a few vitamins and minerals along with some soluble fiber. It is advisable to consume whole fruits than fruit juices, as they can provide you with more nutrients and roughage. Fruits like papaya, sweet lime, watermelon, banana and apple have high water content. Certain vegetables have a high amount of water like lettuce, ash gourd, tomato, spinach, cucumber, zucchini and broccoli.

In general, fruits and vegetables are alkalizing, while meat, most dairy and all sugary foods are acidifying. A high-alkaline diet can be beneficial to kidney stone sufferers, regardless of the type of stones their bodies make, because it emphasizes fruits, vegetables and whole grains over animal proteins. For those who suffer from oxalate-containing stones, it’s also important to emphasize low-oxalate foods. Oxalate occurs naturally in almost all fruits and vegetables to some degree. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Avocados Avocados contain a low amount of oxalate and are highly alkaline-forming in the body. Besides providing all of the essential amino acids, avocados are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin E, B vitamins and heart-healthy essential fatty acids. Although their high fat content translates to a higher calorie content, their nutritional content increases proportionally — one avocado contains as much potassium as three bananas. Lemons Lemons and limes are two of the top most-alkalizing foods, despite their high citric acid content. Both also have a low oxalate content, so those prone to forming oxalate-containing kidney stones can incorporate them in their diets without restriction."

And there's a bonus that money can't buy when you follow this strategy: Fruits and vegetables always taste better when they are in season in your area and are harvested closer to the peak of freshness than those that spend a lot of time in shipping that might cover thousands of miles.

The switchboard was an essential component of a manual telephone exchange, and was operated by switchboard operators who used electrical cords or switches to establish the connections. The electromechanical automatic telephone exchange, invented by Almon Strowger in 1888, gradually replaced manual switchboards in central telephone exchanges around the world. In 1919, the Bell System in Canada also adopted automatic switching as its future technology, after years of reliance on manual systems. Nevertheless, many manual branch exchanges remained operational into the second half of the 20th century in many enterprises. Later electronic devices and computer technology gave the operator access to an abundance of features. A private branch exchange (PBX) in a business usually has an attendant console for the operator, or an auto-attendant, which bypasses the operator entirely."

At one point, seemingly everyone had childhood memories of sitting down in the build up to Christmas and going through the Argos catalogue picking what they would like from Santa. these days, their business model is far more diverse – and though they may not be the retail force that they once were, the Argos phone number is still responsible for dealing with thousands of calls every day from consumers. While the majority of their customer service is dealt with in-store, their central switchboard helpline can handle much more urgent or important questions. Traditionally Argos were a high street chain selling everything to do with home, garden, kids and DIY. These days they now have a fully functional ecommerce website and their growth over the years has been impressive. With internet / on-line expansion and growth comes an increase in reliance on telephone calls. It is important that there is a dedicated Argos phone number for sales, support and general customer services – and this is being proven by the number of calls the Argos contact number receives each day.

It has held many names over the years, but for most of its history it was known as the Southern Bell Telephone Company Building. And the current height (14 stories, not counting the weird tower on top) is also misleading. Originally designed to 25 stories in 1928, it was completed in 1929 at the height of only six stories."

"text": "\"Go to Table of Contents of the analysis (which has also a statement on purpose and manner of analysis and a disclaimer as to caveat emptor and my knowing anything authoritatively, which I do not, but I do try to not know earnestly, with some discretion, and considerable thought). The most important thing which must be kept in mind with Kubrick's films is there is the surface or principle story and then the internal or sub-story. In many of his films, if we're really paying attention, set elements pretty much immediately destroy the surface naturalism. One may not notice this destruction the first, second or third time one watches the film. Through constructive disorientation and disconnectedness, and sleight of hand as to where our eye focuses, Kubrick, the magician, intentionally obfuscates these elements that destroy the overt and naturalistic story line. The surface story lines are the principle ones, and this is maintained and supported by the intentional obfuscation of the deconstructive elements which keep them sub rosa. At the same time, these deconstructive elements are plainly there, alongside his tremendous effort to make things look real and believable, and once we bypass the disorientation and his purposeful refocusing they become a puzzle, annihilating the sense of reality. This destruction of the film's naturalistic story line is difficult enough to conceive of and accept that most people stop at this point and decide these puzzling aspects of Kubrick's films are errors when they are not. They are part of the art of a director cleverly designing the overt story line to be unimpeded by an internal story that tears it apart. Indeed, the sub rosa elements of the internal story may be discreet but they are enough in evidence to complicate the surface story with an aura of attractive, indefinable mystery, which is one of the reasons viewers return to Kubrick again and again."

"text": "A switchboard operator is a telecommunications professional who manages a telephone switchboard. Historically, working on a switchboard required a great deal of mechanical knowledge, as operators had to manually process calls. Today, many switchboards are highly computerized, with the operator focusing on answering calls and routing them to the correct destination rather than having to deal with the physical wiring. Switchboards are used to handle phone calls in a variety of environments. Most emergency response phone numbers route to a switchboard, where an operator will determine where the call should be sent. They are also used in large companies, hotels, and other settings where a large number of incoming phone calls need to be processed, and in situations where companies want to make it difficult for members of the public to contact people in the company directly. Movie producers, for example, like their calls routed through a switchboard so that they can decide whom they want to talk to and when. In addition to handling external phone calls, a switchboard operator also deals with internal communications. When an analyst on the 40th floor picks up the phone to dial a banker on the 50th floor, the call may be routed through a company switchboard, and the analyst may interact with an operator along the way. Paging systems may also be handled this way, as in the case of a hospital that takes calls from the outside, manages internal communications, and uses overhead paging to alert personnel to important issues."

"text": "The A to Z of RCDs By Paul Skeltonon14/01/2013Share Tweet Share Share0 comments Residual current devices (RCDs) are essential safety equipment these days. Their application and installation is provided by AS/NZS3000 – Wiring Rules and testing requirements by AS/NZS3017 and AS/NZS3760. Chris Halliday of the Institute of Electrical Inspectors outlines the practical application of RCDs and issues associated testing. RCDs, or safety switches as they are more commonly known these days, provide essential safety protection against electric shocks. However, they do not negate safe electrical practices or provide guaranteed protection for human life. A toroidal current transformer is used in the RCD to sense any ‘leakage current’ that might well flow through a human being and a trip mechanism is actuated if the rated residual current rating is exceeded. Many people think that RCDs can be forgotten once installed but they will only provide ongoing protection if operational. Therefore regular checks/ testing will be required to ensure they are in working order. Mechanical components may ‘stick’ if the RCD is not operated regularly and the electronics used in some versions can be damaged over time by overvoltage, impulsive transients that may occur due to switching or lightning and increased heating due to harmonics or from simply being in a hot metallic switchboard on the western wall of a premise. The typical life of electronic components is approximately 10 years and so RCDs will need replacing over time even if they are operated in a favourable environment."

Contents [ show]Background Edit The development of the Predictive Analytic Machine, abbreviated P. A. M., was green-lighted in 2067, commissioned under the P. A. M. Initiative. This was a joint project between the Defense Intelligence Agency and the military to develop an advanced supercomputer capable of accurately predicting the future, utilizing the most sophisticated algorithms and mathematical formulas known to man. Her prediction models depended on the data fed into her systems by her human operators. P. A. M. was primarily intended for use in performing complex modeling for war. She was eventually wired to a modified assaultron, granting her increased mobility. This made it easier for P. A. M. to be dismantled and relocated in the event of an enemy attack. [ 2]Although the project had suffered numerous setbacks and other misfortunes during the duration of its course, P. A. M. managed to correctly predict that Chinese nuclear warheads directed towards the United States would soon be deployed. With this information at hand, the military was able to mobilize its own fleet of ballistic missiles and raise the DEFCON status to the highest level in preparation for an upcoming invasion. [ 3] Although the Great War only last two hours, the nuclear exchange had silenced the majority of the larger pockets of human civilization across the globe."

"text": "A private branch exchange ( PBX) operator is a person who operates a telephone switchboard. Switchboards are used by large businesses, such as hotels, to handle calls internally as well as receive incoming calls. To become a PBX operator, it is usually necessary to have a high school degree, and it can be beneficial to hold a certification from a technical college that provides people with administration skills. PBX operators usually learn on the job from experienced personnel. At an organization that uses a PBX, the PBX operator is the first person callers hear when they make a call. The operator receives calls and routes them to appropriate departments, as well as handling short questions and requests for assistance. PBX operators may also take messages, offer wake up calls at facilities like hotels, and coordinate radio communication between different departments. Another part of the PBX operator's role is the management of internal calls. People call each other internally on their own lines with the assistance of the operator, who connects people as needed to different people and departments. People who want to call out also go through the PBX operator."

The Role of an Operon Gene expression genes Scientists first understood gene regulation when they studied E. coli, a type of bacteria that lives in our large intestine. This bacterium makes enzymes that help us digest our food, like the lactose in milk. E. coli, remember, is a prokaryote - an organism whose cells lack a nucleus.

On the one hand, it is a strong form of social constructionism. On the other hand, it has its origins in Romantic era ideas of national mysticism, in which languages were thought to embody a Volksgeist, a \"\"national spirit\"\" and identity of the people who spoke them. [ 1] The hypothesis asserts that aspects of language, including not only the ideas specified in its lexicon, but even technical details such as the ways it uses to specify grammatical tenses and its use of copulas, all create a complex gestalt or world view that can only be imperfectly translated to another language. Contents [ hide ]1 Weak and strong2 Popular incarnations2.1 Eskimo snow3 See also4 External links5 Notes Weak and strong [ edit]It comes in two forms, the weak hypothesis and strong hypothesis, although this distinction originates with neither Sapir nor Whorf. [ 2] The strong version states that language influences how we think and allows us particular modes of thought, creating our cognitive categories which in turn control cognitive processes. This is also referred to as linguistic determinism. The weak version states that our linguistic categories merely influence our thoughts, but do not create or control the cognitive processes, or restrict certain thoughts because the language terms do not exist (as in Newspeak). There is no hard and fast boundary between the \"\"weak\"\" and \"\"strong\"\" versions of linguistic relativity; they merely open up debate as to the strength of the effect language has on thought processes. Most research into language disfavours the strongest formulations of the idea, and so remaining controversies are as to the scale extent that language does influence thought and whether experimental observations can be explained by other cultural factors."

Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, establishing and verifying facts, applying logic, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information. [ 1] It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art and is normally considered to be a distinguishing ability possessed by humans. [ 2] Reason, or an aspect of it, is sometimes referred to as rationality. Reasoning is associated with thinking, cognition, and intellect. The philosophical field of logic studies ways in which humans reason formally through argument. [ 3] Reasoning may be subdivided into forms of logical reasoning (forms associated with the strict sense): deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, abductive reasoning; and other modes of reasoning considered more informal, such as intuitive reasoning and verbal reasoning. Along these lines, a distinction is often drawn between logical, discursive reasoning (reason proper), and intuitive reasoning, [4] in which the reasoning process through intuition—however valid—may tend toward the personal and the subjectively opaque. In some social and political settings logical and intuitive modes of reasoning may clash, while in other contexts intuition and formal reason are seen as complementary rather than adversarial."

The most important of the ‘classical pragmatists’ were Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914), William James (1842–1910) and John Dewey (1859–1952). The influence of pragmatism declined during the first two thirds of the twentieth century, but it has undergone a revival since the 1970s with philosophers being increasingly willing to use the writings and ideas of the classical pragmatists, and also a number of thinkers, such as Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam and Robert Brandom developing philosophical views that represent later stages of the pragmatist tradition. The core of pragmatism was the pragmatist maxim, a rule for clarifying the contents of hypotheses by tracing their ‘practical consequences’. In the work of Peirce and James, the most influential application of the pragmatist maxim was to the concept of truth. But the pragmatists have also tended to share a distinctive epistemological outlook, a fallibilist anti-Cartesian approach to the norms that govern inquiry. For much of the twentieth century, pragmatism was largely in eclipse. Few philosophers were familiar with the works of classical pragmatists such as Charles Sanders Pierce and William James, and pragmatist ideas were not at the centre of debate. John Dewey, who had been a dominant philosophical figure in the 1920s, was no longer a central figure. Analytical philosophers and their students had a central role in philosophy."

Although the nature of delusions is controversial, as we shall see, delusions are often characterised as strange beliefs that appear in the context of mental distress. Indeed, clinical delusions are a symptom of psychiatric disorders such as dementia and schizophrenia, and they also characterize delusional disorders. The following case descriptions include one instance of erotomania, the delusion that one is loved by someone else, often of higher status, and one instance of Cotard delusion, the delusion that one is dead or disembodied. She realized he was empty without her and was pursuing her, but enemies were preventing them from uniting. The enemies included a number of people: people in her family, her classmates, neighbours and many other persons who were plotting to keep them apart. She knew that her conclusions were accurate because he would send messages to her proving his love. These messages would often present themselves as the license plates on cars of a certain state, the color purple and other indications that she received from the environment that proved to her that he loved her. ( Jordan et al. 2006, p. 787)She repeatedly stated that she was dead and was adamant that she had died two weeks prior to the assessment (i.e. around the time of her admission on 19/11/2004)."

In the paper I show, by way of eight years of data from the International Science and Engineering Fair, a textbook survey, and a teacher survey, how we are misleading our students by not helping them understand and practice this fundamental component of scientific thinking. In science, there is no one scientific method. In fact, we practice scientific methodology in various ways. Sometimes we make observations about nature, ask questions, answer those questions with explanations or generalizations (hypotheses), and test our answers with predictions and experiments. However, while sometimes the way we do science is mostly linear, most of the time this approach to science is oversimplified. ‘ Understanding Science’ at the University of California at Berkeley provides some excellent details on the nonlinear nature of the scientific process here and here. Scientific methodologies are also not always hypothesis-driven."

Mufwene, John R. Rickford, Guy Bailey and John Baugh. London: Routledge, 1998) (Revised final version: 9/17/97)8.0 Introduction Two issues loom large in discussions of the development of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). 1 The first is the \"\"creole origins issue\"\"--the question of whether AAVE's predecessors, two or three hundred years ago, included creole languages similar to Gullah (spoken on the islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia) or the English-based creoles of Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Hawaii or Sierra Leone. The second is the \"\"divergence issue\"\"--the question of whether AAVE is currently diverging or becoming more different from white vernacular dialects in the US. The creole origins issue is the older issue. The earliest linguists to suggest the possibility that AAVE had pidgin or creole roots were Schuchardt (1914), Bloomfield (1933:474), Wise (1933) and Pardoe (1937). 2 The case was articulated in more detail by B. Bailey (1965) and repeated in Hall (1966:15). It was vigorously championed by Stewart (1967, 1968, 1969) and Dillard (1972, 1992), and it was subsequently endorsed by Baugh (1979, 1980, 1983), Holm (1976, 1984), Rickford (1974, 1977), Fasold (1976, 1981), Smitherman (1977), Edwards (1980, 1991), Labov (1982), Mufwene (1983), Singler (1989, 1991a, 1991b, to appear), Traugott (1976), and Winford (1992a, 1992b, 1997), among others. Arguing against the creole hypothesis, and asserting instead that the speech of African Americans derives primarily from the dialects spoken by British and other white immigrants in earlier times (hence the label \"\"dialectologist\"\") were Krapp (1924, 1925), Kurath (1928), Johnson (1930), Brooks (1935, 1985:9-13), Mc David and Mc David (1951), Mc David (1965), Davis (1969, 1970), D'Eloia (1973), Schneider (1982, 1983, 1989, 1993b), Poplack and Sankoff (1987), Poplack and Tagliamonte (1989, 1991, 1994), Montgomery (1991), Tagliamonte and Poplack (1988, 1993), Montgomery et al (1993), and Ewers (1996), among others."

[ 1] Whorf is widely known as an advocate for the idea that differences between the structures of different languages shape how their speakers perceive and conceptualize the world. This principle has frequently been called the \"\" Sapir–Whorf hypothesis \"\", after him and his mentor Edward Sapir, but Whorf called it the principle of linguistic relativity, because he saw the idea as having implications similar to Einstein's principle of physical relativity. [ 2]Throughout his life Whorf was a chemical engineer by profession, but as a young man he took up an interest in linguistics. At first this interest drew him to the study of Biblical Hebrew, but he quickly went on to study the indigenous languages of Mesoamerica on his own. Professional scholars were impressed by his work and in 1930 he received a grant to study the Nahuatl language in Mexico; on his return home he presented several influential papers on the language at linguistics conferences. This led him to begin studying linguistics with Edward Sapir at Yale University while still maintaining his day job at the Hartford Fire Insurance Company."

"text": "LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT: EXAMINING LINGUISTIC RELATIVITYStacy Phipps December 13, 2001ABSTRACTThe Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis has changed the way many people look at the relationship between language, thought and cultural perception of reality. It has influenced many scholars and opened up large areas of study. While many like Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf support the notion that language strongly influences thought and others argue that language does not influence thought, the evidence from research indicates that language does influence thought and perception of reality to a degree but language does not govern thought or reality. Language and Thought Stacy Phipps The relationship between language, thought and reality has occupied philosophers, linguists, anthropologists and psychologists for centuries. Dating back to Plato and his theory of forms, in which Plato described the idea of thought and language having meaning as stemming from abstract definitions or concepts called “forms” and which all the “entities and qualities designated thereby can be subsumed” (Gill, 1997:132). Along with the standard western thought Plato ultimately describes language as being based on reality. Similarly John Locke of a more recent time describes the relationship between reality and language: Our senses, conversant about particular sensible object, do convey into the mind several distinct perceptions of things according to those various ways wherein those objects affect them. And thus we come by those ideas we have of yellow, white, heat, cold, soft, hard, bitter, sweet and all those which we call sensible qualities; which when I say the senses convey into the mind, I mean, they from external objects convey into the mind what produces those perceptions (Essay Concerning Human Understanding, book 2, chapter 1). Locke exemplifies in this statement what many philosophers and psychologists felt about how we think and how we perceive reality and how that is then reflected in our language. Contrary to these common beliefs among philosophers concerning language, a well-known German scholar and diplomat from the 18 th century, Wilhelm von Humboldt equated language and thought as inseparable, as language completely determining thought, in a hypothesis known as the Weltanschauung (world view) hypothesis (Brown, 1968)."

Therefore, understanding the language will allow someone to understand the forms of human understanding. Language is the medium of abstract human thought that allows factual objects transformed into abstract symbols. With this transformation of the human being can think about on an object, although it did not object that perceived by him (Suriasumantri, 1998). Ernst Cassier called man as symbolic, the creatures that use symbol. This phrase generically contains larger meaning than homo sapiens. For Cassier, human uniqueness is not merely lie in the capacity to think it lies in language ability. A famous philosopher, Gadamer, stated that the status of human beings can not do anything without using language. In one famous statement, is clearly also a philosopher of language, Ludwid Van Wittgenstein, said that the limit of the human world is their language. An interesting description of the relationship between language and thought is expressed by Whorf and Sapir."

It is an important document that helps expedite the court process when administering an estate. It is a sworn affidavit of a witness of a will that the will was properly witnessed (executed). It must be completed by someone authorized to swear an affidavit; such as a commissioner of oaths. In Ontario, lawyers are able to swear affidavits. What is a Sworn Affidavit Simply put a sworn affidavit is akin to that scene we have all seen on television and the movies where the witness is asked “Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god.” It must be signed (sworn) by a duly authorized person. Falsifying such a document is perjury, which is a crime. A properly sworn affidavit of execution is usually used to satisfy a court that the proper legal formalities were followed when a will was signed."

This type of seal is no longer legally sufficient in New York State (see below). A notary public is an officer who can administer oaths and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate documents and perform certain other acts varying from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Generally speaking, a notary public in the United States of America has powers that are far more limited than the role of a civil law notary in the rest of the world, with the exception of Louisiana. For the purposes of authentication, most countries require commercial or personal documents which originate from or are signed in another country to be notarized before they can be used or officially recorded or before they can have any legal effect. In some countries and states, notaries are required to undergo specific training in the performance of their duties. Many must also first serve as an apprentice before being commissioned or licensed to practice their profession. Even licensed lawyers (such as barristers or solicitors) must go through additional specialized notarial training and apprenticeship, in many countries, before being allowed to practice the profession of a notary. A notary public commissioned in the United States of America is not an attorney-at-law unless also admitted to the bar. ( Although some countries consider the profession of a civil law notary, itself, to be the practice of law."

"text": "\"NEW JERSEY NOTARY PUBLIC MANUAL (revised September 28, 2015)INTRODUCTION The office of Notary Public is a vital public function. Notaries are called upon to perform many valuable services for New Jersey's business, legal and financial communities. Effective notary services help to ensure that documents are properly executed, that facts are duly certified, and above all, that the general public is protected from fraud. Notarization is essential for many official documents including mortgages, deeds, contracts, and various corporate transactions. A1423: A notary public who is not licensed as an attorney-at- law shall not use or advertise the title of lawyer or attorney-at-Law. A Notary who advertises his services must provide a statement “I am not an attorney licensed to practice law and may not give legal advice about immigration or any other legal matter or accept fees for legal advice”. This manual is designed to provide Notaries with practical guidance on how to perform notary services. By following the manual's guidelines, Notaries will operate from a structured procedural foundation and thereby help foster the levels of diligence and accuracy required for the on-going success of the office. The Division of Revenue's Business Support Services Bureau serves as the administrative agency for the Notary Public program in New Jersey.

If you are interested in using your notary commission to an extra income, advertising your services may be a way to build or increase your business. Before you leap into 60-second radio commercials or full-page ads in your local newspaper, let's discuss some important aspects of advertising. As a business owner, would I have a financial interest in the transactions being notarized for my company's business? Section 117.107 (12), Florida Statutes, provides that you may not be the notary for a transaction in which you have a financial interest or to which you are a party. Although this provision was added to the notary law in 1992, it is not a new prohibition. This provision was merely a codification of the same prohibition established by case law dating as far back as the 1800s and as recently as the 1990s.

"text": "A 1975 felony conviction and three-year prison stint ended Randy Eugene Dyer’s career as a bad guy who imported drugs from Mexico and started his career as a God-fearing family man who ministers to prisoners. In 2004, after nearly 30 years jailhouse preaching, Dyer applied for a presidential pardon via the Office of the Pardon Attorney with much help from his wife, Karla Dyer. The application took them most of the year, she said, as they gathered more than 100 affidavits from business associates and friends who could speak to Dyer’s good character. Collecting the affidavits, plus gathering info on every place they’d lived since the 1970s and every job he’d had, amounted to hundreds of hours of work. On May 20, it paid off off: President Barack Obama pardoned Dyer, forgiving him for his bad deeds. “I think it’s a great honor,” Dyer told Huff Post. “ We know Jesus Christ forgave us, but sometimes society has a lot of difficulty forgiving people for the things they’ve done. ”American presidents have found it increasingly difficult to forgive felons. Over the past century, acts of executive clemency have dwindled, with President Obama on track to be among the stingiest presidents in history. So far, Obama’s granted just 17 pardons."

These mistakes can cause problems when transferring real estate by deed. They usually fall into one of two categories: Mistake in the Deed – For example, misspellings, errors in legal descriptions, taking title in the wrong name, or using wrong form of co-ownership. Error in Execution – Examples include using the wrong form of notary acknowledgment, failure have the deed signed by all parties, or (in states like Florida) failure to have deed properly witnessed. It is important to correct these types of issues as soon as they are discovered. Note: You should not assume that a deed is correct merely because the clerk or other recording office accepts it for recording. The scrutiny that the recording clerk provides differs from state to state and even from county to county. Many clerks will accept any properly-formatted document, even if it contains errors. Correcting the Deed Before it is Signed and Recorded If the erroneous deed has not been signed or recorded, the mistake is easy to correct. You only need to correct the deed before it is signed and recorded."

In each case, a bank-trustee tried to foreclose on behalf of a mortgage-backed trust. Most of these cases began with the filing of an unendorsed note that was described in the bank’s pleadings as a true and correct copy of the original note. Several of the Florida cases began with a Lost Note claim, alleging that the bank at one point had the note in its custody and control, but somehow lost the note. Later in the litigation, these lost notes were invariably and inexplicably found.

"text": "New Mexico Supreme Court Hears Argument on Whether State May Execute Last Two Men on Its Death Row Posted: April 11, 2018Nine years after New Mexico prospectively abolished capital punishment, lawyers for the state’s two remaining death-row prisoners argued to the New Mexico Supreme Court that the death penalty was unconstitutionally disproportionate punishment as applied to Timothy Allen (pictured, left) and Robert Fry (pictured, right), and that they should not be executed. The lengthy oral argument on April 10 turned on how the court should go about determining whether a death sentence is arbitrary and disproportionate. State prosecutors urged the court to follow a 1983 decision that would limit the court’s review to cases involving the same aggravating factors that were present in the prisoners’ crimes. “ [ T]he ultimate question,” said Assistant Attorney General Victoria Wilson, “is: ‘Was this sentence imposed arbitrarily?’” On the other hand, the prisoners’ lawyers argued that executing the men would be disproportionate punishment and unconstitutionally arbitrary when compared to all the cases in which New Mexico could have imposed the death penalty. Between 1979 and 2009, when New Mexico authorized capital punishment, prosecutors sought the death penalty more than 200 times. The sentence was imposed in only 15 cases, leading to a single execution in 2001, when Terry Clark waived his appeals. During the argument, Justice Charles Daniels questioned whether New Mexico had applied the death penalty in an “evenhanded” manner. “ In the first 47 years of our existence as a state, we executed 27 people with fairly regular frequency,” Daniels said. “ In the next 57 years, we executed one—at a time when there were horrible murders and over 200 where the death penalty was sought.”"

When this is done the assignee (person who received the assignment) steps into the place of the original lender or assignor. To effectuate an assignment, the general rules is that the assignment must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the assignment. Satisfactions Generally: Once a mortgage or deed of trust is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a lien on the property. The general rule is that the satisfaction must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the satisfaction. If the lender fails to record a satisfaction within set time limits, the lender may be responsible for damages set by statute for failure to timely cancel the lien. Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction, Cancellation, or Reconveyance. Some states still recognize marginal satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out. A marginal satisfaction is where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is attested by the clerk.

Learning Objectives Describe the structure of a gene and how offspring inherit genes from each parent Key Takeaways Key Points A gene is a stretch of DNA that helps to control the development and function of all organs and working systems in the body. Genes are passed from parent to offspring; the combination of these genes affects all aspects of the human body, from eye and hair color to how well the liver can process toxins. A human will inherit 23 chromosomes from its mother and 23 from its father; together, these form 23 pairs of chromosomes that direct the inherited characteristics of the individual. If the two copies of a gene inherited from each parent are the same, that individual is said to be homozygous for the gene; if the two copies inherited from each parent are different, that individual is said to be heterozygous for the gene. Key Termsgene: a unit of heredity; the functional units of chromosomes that determine specific characteristics by coding for specific proteinschromosome: a structure in the cell nucleus that contains DNA, histone protein, and other structural proteinsgenetics: the branch of biology that deals with the transmission and variation of inherited characteristics, in particular chromosomes and DNAPairs of Unit Factors, or Genes Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F 2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring. A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body."

"text": "\"genetic testing (redirected from Genetic analysis) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia. Related to Genetic analysis: Genetic testing, DNA analysis, genetic evaluation Genetic Testing Definition A genetic test examines the genetic information contained inside a person's cells, called DNA, to determine if that person has or will develop a certain disease or could pass a disease to his or her offspring. Genetic tests also determine whether or not couples are at a higher risk than thegeneral population for having a child affected with a genetic disorder. Purpose Some families or ethnic groups have a higher incidence of a certain disease than the population as a whole. For example, individuals from Eastern European, Ashkenazi Jewish descent are at higher risk for carrying genes for rare conditions that occur much less frequently in populationsfrom other parts of the world. Before having a child, a couple from such a family or ethnic groupmay want to know if their child would be at risk of having that disease. Genetic testing for thistype of purpose is called genetic screening. During pregnancy, a baby's cells can be studied for certain genetic disorders or chromosomalproblems such as Down syndrome. Chromosome testing is most commonly offered when themother is 35 years or older at the time of delivery. When there is a family medical history of a genetic disease or there are individuals in a family affected with developmental and physicaldelays, genetic testing also may be offered during pregnancy."

For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color blind. Defects in the genetic code can be tragic. For example: Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, and Klinefelter's Syndrome are diseases caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a single change in the genetic sequence."

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources Birth defects Gene therapy Genetic counseling Genetics Hereditary diseases Human genome Prenatal diagnosis What Is Heredity? Every person develops under the influence of a mix of genes inherited from his or her mother and father. These genes, or small parts of chromosomes, determine the architecture and activity of the entire body. They determine visible characteristics, such as eye color, skin color, and height, as well as traits that cannot be seen, such as the likelihood of certain diseases, the chemicals made by the body, and the functioning of body systems. Normally, each cell in the body contains two copies of each gene: one that originally came from the egg of the mother and one from the sperm of the father. In many instances, these two copies are slightly different from each other. The result is a child who has some characteristics from the mother and some from the father, but who is never identical to either parent. Because there are two copies, a gene that works normally usually can make up for one that has a defect. For example, a gene with a defect that causes a particular disease may be passed through generations of a family without causing illness."

Scientists first discovered chromosomes in the nineteenth century, when they were gazing at cells through light microscopes. But how did they figure out what chromosomes do? And how did they link chromosomes — and the specific genes within them — to the concept of inheritance? After a long period of observational studies through microscopes, several experiments with fruit flies provided the first evidence. What is a gene? Physically, a gene is a segment (or segments) of a chromosome. Functionally, a gene can play many different roles within a cell. Today, most scientists agree that genes correspond to one or more DNA sequences that carry the coding information required to produce a specific protein, and that protein in turn carries out a particular function within the cell. Scientists also know that the DNA that makes up genes is packed into structures called chromosomes, and that somatic cells contain twice as many chromosomes as gametes (i.e., sperm and egg cells)."

As discussed below, most police departments have not implemented these recommendations, to the detriment of the communities they serve.

But the ways in which race is asked about and classified have changed from census to census, as the politics and science of race have fluctuated. And efforts to measure the multiracial population are still evolving. From 1790 to 1950, census takers determined the race of the Americans they counted, sometimes taking into account how individuals were perceived in their community or using rules based on their share of “black blood.” Americans who were of multiracial ancestry were either counted in a single race or classified into categories that mainly consisted of gradations of black and white, such as mulattoes, who were tabulated with the non-white population. Beginning in 1960, Americans could choose their own race. Since 2000, they have had the option to identify with more than one. This change in census practice coincided with changed thinking about the meaning of race.

Socioeconomic status can encompass quality of life attributes as well as the opportunities and privileges afforded to people within society. Poverty, specifically, is not a single factor but rather is characterized by multiple physical and psychosocial stressors. Further, SES is a consistent and reliable predictor of a vast array of outcomes across the life span, including physical and psychological health. Thus, SES is relevant to all realms of behavioral and social science, including research, practice, education and advocacy. SES Affects our Society SES affects overall human functioning, including our physical and mental health. Low SES and its correlates, such as lower educational achievement, poverty and poor health, ultimately affect our society. Inequities in health distribution, resource distribution, and quality of life are increasing in the United States and globally.

[ 4]In Social Trends in America and Strategic Approaches to the Negro Problem (1948), Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal ranked the social areas where restrictions were imposed on the freedom of Black Americans by Southern White Americans through racial segregation, from the least to the most important: basic public facility access, social equality, jobs, courts and police, politics and marriage."

S. students, especially groups defined by socioeconomic status (SES), race / ethnicity and gender. The achievement gap can be observed on a variety of measures, including standardized test scores, grade point average, dropout rates, and college enrollment and completion rates. While this article focuses on the achievement gap in the United States, the gap in achievement between lower income students and higher income students exists in all nations [1] and it has been studied extensively in the U. S. and other countries, including the U. K. [2] Various other gaps between groups exist around the globe as well. Research into the causes of the disparity in academic achievement between students from different socioeconomoic and racial backgrounds has been ongoing since the 1966 publication of the Coleman Report (officially titled \"\"Equality of Educational Opportunity\"\"), commissioned by the U. S. Department of Education, which found that a combination of home, community, and in-school factors have an impact on academic performance and contribute to the achievement gap. According to American educational psychologist David Berliner, home and community environments have a stronger impact on school achievement than in-school factors, in part, because students spend more time outside of school than in school. In addition, the out-of-school factors influencing academic performance differ significantly between children living in poverty and children from middle-income households. [ 3] [4]The achievement gap, as reported in trend data collected by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), has become a focal point of education reform efforts by a number of nonprofit organizations and advocacy groups. Attempts to minimize the achievement gap by improving equality of access to educational opportunities have been numerous but fragmented, such as affirmative action, multicultural education, finance equalization, [ clarification needed] and interventions to improve school testing, teacher quality and accountability.

"text": "April 16, 2012Ask the Expert: Classifying Race and Ethnicity Q. Your surveys often show results based on “non-Hispanic whites” and “non-Hispanic blacks”. Why aren’t Hispanics counted in these categories? A. In today’smulti-ethnic society, classifying people into racial and ethnic categories is increasingly difficult, yet remains an important aspect of understanding the diversity of views and values across segments of the public. Pew Research Center surveys assign people into racial and ethnic categories based on what people tell us about themselves. Most Pew Research studies use categories for race and ethnicity similar to those used by government agencies, including the Census Bureau, where Hispanics can be of any racial background and their numbers are reported separately from non-Hispanics for each race group. The standard federal categories for race and ethnicity are defined by the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are employed not just for surveys, but also for medical research, school registration forms, mortgage lending applications and other administrative uses. These categories also are widely used by researchers and businesses in order to be consistent with federal standards. The latest OMB standards, issued in 1997, require that data be collected and reported for five major race groups: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. The Census Bureau also reports data about people who are not included in those categories but are “some other race” and those who are mixed race-that is, included in more than one race group. In addition, data are collected in a separate question asking whether someone is “Hispanic” or “Latino”; Hispanics or Latinos are an ethnic group based on family background or ancestral ties."

The Many Ways to Re-Draw Districts Many ways exist for electing congressional delegations and state legislatures, but every state currently does so by dividing the state into legislative districts that must be redrawn every decade after a new census. Because states create districts, they must decide how district lines will be drawn. In many states, the state legislature draws the districts and openly does so in order to influence the likely partisan makeup of the legislature, discourage electoral competition and/or generally hurt their political enemies and help their friends. However, goals like those fly in the face of democratic values like fair representation of voters and the ability of voters to influence election results. Who Draws Congressional Districts?

If you have materials and resources you feel should appear on this page, please email your suggestions to [email protected]!The framework on building a diversity plan was developed by Jody Gray, Diversity Outreach Librarian/American Indian Studies Librarian, University of Minnesota Libraries in October 2011. Building a Diversity Plan Creating a Diversity Plan for the library is one of the most important actions we can take to ensure that diversity and inclusion become integral to the way our institutions function, both internally and externally. Creating a diversity plans involves several steps to ensure that the institution is prepared to create a diversity plan, recognizes its role within a diverse community, and addresses diversity in a meaningful and relevant way. For the purposes of this resource, we consider six elements essential for a successful diversity plan. Those elements include: A definition of diversity for the organization An assessment of need or justification for the diversity plan A mission or vision for the diversity of the organization A statement of priorities or goals A delegation of responsibilities towards achievement of the plan A statement of accountability Building Support When crafting a resonant and viable Diversity Plan it is critically important that buy-in exists at all levels of the library--from the library director to the front-line library staff. Buy-in across the organization makes the success of the diversity plan viable and meaningful. Among the most important first steps towards building cross-organizational support is the alignment of an organization’s strategic priorities with diversity. Consider exploring the library’s mission or vision statement to identify terms or clauses that can be connected back to issues of diversity. In many libraries, diversity may already be specifically articulated."

The benefits of complete and accurate data capture have far-reaching impact, including improving the quality of care by addressing disparities in care. In the 2002 landmark study Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, the Institute of Medicine documented evidence that race and ethnicity are significant predictors of the quality of care, observing that minorities who had the same insurance, status, and income as nonminorities received a lower quality of care. 1In that study IOM described racial and ethnic healthcare disparities as racial or ethnic differences in the quality of healthcare that are not due to access-related factors or clinical needs, preferences, and appropriateness of intervention. Other studies and reports have demonstrated a similar relationship between healthcare disparities and the quality of healthcare. Addressing such disparities requires that providers capture better data about race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, an effort complicated by the sensitive nature of the data and the challenges of categorizing them appropriately. Addressing Health Disparities The IOM study provides recommendations for research and addresses the importance of data collection that affects care disparities. Federal and state organizations have turned their attention to the issue. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and state public health entities have ongoing initiatives to address healthcare disparities. Accrediting agencies are also focusing on aspects of care that could be associated with disparities."

Old Canary Breeders Term“Tonic Seed” is a term used by canary breeders to denote the black oil seeds that canaries love and all baby birds find so appealing during the weaning process. Tonic Seeds have thin, brittle hulls that are easily removed by the still soft “baby” beaks of your weaning chicks under the age of 5 weeks. They are the energy seed so important during breeding and molting because they contain the “fats” which offer the most efficient conversion to energy ratio during the time when extremely high energy demands are being placed upon your birds. Tonic Seeds also contain the amino acids, Methionine and Lysine, which are essential for good reproduction and feathering. These 2 amino acids are lacking in most other seed types, however they are the most important parts of the protein equation during the breeding and molting season. It is also important to make sure that these oil seeds are no more than 3% of the total diet each day, as the high oil content can lead to obesity in birds confined to small cages during the breeding season. Our Tonic Seed mix contains Rape, Niger and Black Lettuce seed. It is important to note that while birds love these seeds added to their diet, most commercial Breeding and Molting supplements made for our caged birds have added the amino acids, Methionine and Lysine. The addition of these seeds to your bird’s diet during breeding and molting become much more important if you are not using commercially formulated supplements, but are choosing to feed nutrient rich foods instead."

"text": "One should be forgiven for thinking that the most under-explored ecosystem in the world is tropical rainforests or cave systems since new species are frequently uncovered in such places. But new research in the open-access journal PLo S ONE finds that the least explored part of the world is the deep sea, especially what lies beneath the open ocean. Ironically, not only does this ecosystem remain the least explored, it is also the world’s largest habitat. Analyzing seven million records of the world’s marine life, the researchers found that the majority of our knowledge of marine species comes from shallow waters. “It’s shocking that in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, the largest habitat on Earth remains virtually unexplored. On a more positive note, being able to highlight gaps in our knowledge is an important step towards filling them,” said research head Tom Webb, a marine ecologist from the University of Sheffield. The Bathycyroe fosteri is common among midwater plankton communities. Photo by: MAR-ECO/Marsh Youngbluth. Beginning in the 19th Century, marine scientists theorized that the ocean’s deep waters—between the surface and floor—was largely devoid of life. However, recent research, including the Census of Marine Life, a ten year program to survey life in the world’s oceans that wraps up in October, has shown that is simply not the case."

Yellow Watchman Gobies are one of the more popular Shrimp Gobies offered in the pet trade. With a Yellow/Orange head and body they have blue spots on their body and fins. They seem to be very resistant to most saltwater fish disease in the marine aquarium. They are found wild in many habitats between Singapore and Micronesia. Yellow Watchman Gobies form a mutual symbiotic relationship with some Pistol Shrimp. The name \"\"Watchman\"\" comes from their behavior in the wild, where they act as watchmen for the shrimp. Recommended minimum tank size: The Yellow Watchman Goby should be housed in a 20 gallon or larger tank with a sand bed for burrowing into and loose coral rubble. Food and diet: The Yellow Watchman Goby is a carnivore. It eats zooplankton, finely chopped small crustaceans, live & frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, algae, spirulina flakes and other quality flake foods."

"text": "How to Stop a Canary Hen from Laying Eggs by Ginger Wolnik People frequently ask me how to stop their canary hen from laying eggs. This is not usually a problem for wild birds or birds raised as close to nature as possible, but cage birds with unlimited food often try to raise multiple clutches of 4 to 6 chicks each, which is not good for the hen's long term health. However, realize it is normal for a hen to lay eggs and trying to stop her from laying any is not healthy either. First you need to understand how canaries normally get in breeding condition and when they finish breeding. This information and advice is for canaries, other species of birds may be similar, but many have very different triggers, so please search for an article on that species instead of applying this article's advice. Canaries naturally breed in the spring and their breeding hormones are triggered by:increasing daylight length to 12 hours/dayincreasing temperaturemore higher protein food available (eg. insects in the wild)They normally stop after raising one or two clutches of chicks because:increasing daylight to 15 hours/dayless high protein food availableless food available due to competition with grown offspring In addition, the wild hen's body is stressed from feeding growing chicks, which is even more demanding than laying eggs. Her mate may be available to help, but he will also be spending time and energy defending their territory from other canary families. He may also be away at times philandering, especially if the neighbor hen's mate is killed by a predator (or maybe by him! ) Compare now to the conditions of the cage canary:unlimited high protein food (eg."

Mass-produced bird seed has too much fat and not enough vitamins, minerals and proteins. Budgie parakeets fed seed-only diets have a much shorter life span — in fact, malnourishment is a leading cause of premature death in pet birds! Furthermore, “ Avian veterinarians estimate that poor nourishment is the underlying cause of about 75 to 80 percent of the medical problems they see. “ ( Source: Bird Talk April 2010)Mass-produced dry seed parakeet food should constitute no more than about 20 percent of your budgie’s diet. If offered dry seeds as a free-choice diet component, budgies and other parrots will usually eat it to the exclusion of everything else offered. In other words, don’t put a dish of just dry seeds in your bird’s cage and expect them to eat their vegetables, too!The Problem With Pellets So if a seed-only diet is lacking in nutrition, should you feed those “complete nutrition” pelleted diets instead?

"text": "\"So you've decided to get a canary, perhaps as a result of reading my previous article, Canaries as Pets. I will assume that you've already decided that a canary is the right pet for you and you understand their basic nature and requirements. First, you need to decide how many birds you will get and what gender. Most people want a male canary because males sing. You should get one cage for each male because they are very territorial and will fight with each other. If it isn't breeding season, they may even fight with a hen. Some people prefer hens, because they are more sociable. You can put several hens together in a flight or aviary. It is a common mistake to buy a young male and then discover it is actually a hen. Most people get attached to the bird and are reluctant to return it when they discover the mistake."

If you have to raise the baby birds on your own, seek the advice of a knowledgeable bird expert to help you. Early Days If your finches are newborn, you'll need to jump-start their digestive systems with sugar and hydration. Sterilize a half-cc syringe without the needle and administer a drop of children's electrolyte replacement formula every two hours for the first day. Use two small jars or glasses to sterilize feeding equipment. Label the jars, and fill both with hot tap water. Add 1 tablespoon of bleach to a labeled jar and stir. Immerse syringes into the jar and suction the solution to clean the syringe each time you use it. Rinse thoroughly in the other jar with plain, hot water."

Photos of the Various Brotogeris Species for Identification Members of the Brotogeris family are smart, curious, energetic and loved for their innate playfulness. These personality traits make them excellent pets. Handfed babies, in particular, have very sweet personalities. It is easiest to gain their trust and affection if introduced into the family as hand-fed and properly socially babies; however, with a little time and patience, \"\"second-hand\"\" birds can in most cases also be turned into loving and treasured pets. The most well-known and popular Brotogeris member is the Grey-cheek Parakeet - however, this species is not reproducing well in captivity and is increasingly difficult to find. Therefore, many take a look at the other brotogeris species as they share many of the same personality traits. Both males and females look alike - so if owners want to know the gender of their pet, DNA or surgical sexing is recommended. Personality Traits and Care Requirements: These active parakeets love to play and should be given lots of different kinds of Bird Toys / Entertainment to prevent boredom. They entertain themselves for hours with their toys. With time and patience, these smart little parakeets can easily be taught tricks."

Member Florida Canary Fanciers Member National Colorbred Association Master Breeder Award Check out these pages: Before You Commit For most of us who are breeding and raising canaries, our interest began by being a pet owner. Having a single canary as a pet is very enjoyable, but then something inside urges us to expand our hobby. We want to \"\"kick it up a notch\"\", and that next level means finding a mate for our bird, breeding them, and raising babies. If you are reading this, it means that you are at this point in the road. I encourage you to move forward, but first learn all you can BEFORE you commit to this adventure. One of the first challenges will be planning for enough cages to accommodate a breeding pair and their offspring. Remember that canaries are very territorial by nature. For most of the year, you have to house mature males individually. Hens are fine in a flight cage together as long as they have enough personal space. A rule of thumb is one square foot of space per bird, but keep in mind that canaries love the higher perching places."

Nests are available in many shapes, sizes, and materials these days. Just as nests have diversified so has the nesting material. We can give our finches grass, burlap, coco fiber, nest pads, tissue paper, feathers, and so on to use as nesting material. So, what works best? All of the above. If you buy your finches from a local breeder, ask him or her what types of nests these finches were bred in. They will be more comfortable in the same types of nests they hatched in and may breed more readily. If the breeder can not be contacted it's best to buy the type of nest which will fit your cage best."

As Commander-in-Chief, my highest priority is the security of the American people. Over the last several years, we have consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country. We took out Osama bin Laden and much of al Qaeda’s leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We’ve targeted al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen, and recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in Somalia. We’ve done so while bringing more than 140,000 American troops home from Iraq, and drawing down our forces in Afghanistan, where our combat mission will end later this year. Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, America is safer. Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat. We can’t erase every trace of evil from the world, and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today."

Population Size and Exponential Growth Births and immigration increase population size,Deaths and emigration decrease population size Zero Population Growth (ZPG) = no net increase or decrease Growth of populations over time: For a small population, as long as the birth rate is slightly above the death rate, a population grows exponentially with a characteristic J-curve: Example: population of 2000 mice; 200 die each month, but 1000 are born Birth rate: 1000 born / 2000 = 0.5 (50%) Death rate: 200 die / 2000 = 0.1 (10%) Net change: 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 ( net growth rate) (40%)After one month: 2000 x 0.4 = 2000 + 800 = 2800 mice!After 2 months: 2800 x 0.4 = 2800 + 1120 = 3920 mice!After 3 months: 3920 x 0.4 = 3920 + 1568 = 5488 mice!After 1 year: 158,726 mice!After 18 months: 1,195,134 mice!...and so on If you plot number of mice per time: J-curve Why is this exponential (or geometric - a curved line) rather than linear (or arithmetic - a straight line)?

"text": "\"Populations of organisms within a desert biome community. copyright Summary With a continued focus on the Sonoran Desert, students are introduced to the concepts of biomes, limiting factors (resources), carrying capacity and growth curves through a Power Point® presentation. Abiotic factors (temperature, annual precipitation, seasons, etc.) determine the biome landscape. The vegetative component, as producers, determines the types of consumers that form its various communities. Students learn how the type and quantity of available resources defines how many organisms can be supported within the community, as well as its particular resident species. With this understanding, students are able to explain how carrying capacity is determined by the limiting factors within the community and feeding relationships. By studying these ecological relationships, students see the connection between ecological relationships of organisms and the fundamentals of engineering design, adding to their base of knowledge towards solving the grand challenge posed in this unit. This engineering curriculum meets Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Engineering Connection This lesson introduces students to computer simulation."

Then using a cleansing technique, be sure any negative energies are removed from the crystal so that you do not transfer residual energies onto yourself or your client. For maximum healing effects, charging crystals will ensure the crystal is ready electromagnetically and is saturated with ultraviolet light which energizes each crystal. To \"\"wake-up\"\" your crystal, you may need to activate it into its role and mission.. And finally, program your crystal to direct the energy for a specific outcome or for support during a healing session. Cleaning Crystals If you purchased a crystal with mud on it, chances are it still has part of the growth matrix on it. The matrix is the part of the earth that the crystal grows in, full of mineral nutrients. Try using a dry brush first, to remove what you can but be careful as the crystal may be softer than the matrix it grows in. Then use a warm water bath and a stiff scrub brush for coarse crystals or a flexible medium-soft toothbrush for more brittle crystals. I sometimes use a high foaming dishwashing detergent with a scrub brush, using the lather to lift off small pieces of grit and sand from tight corners. The matrix on quartz crystals is usually yellow, somewhat cakey-hard like mud and can be removed in a 2-5 day bath of oxalic acid if brushing and water doesn't take it off."

Each density has its own structure of life forms, perception and typical lessons for the consciousnesses residing in it. Densities are defined roughly as follows:1 stdensity - Inanimate matter If we can speak of learning here, the lesson is maybe for matter to learn to combine in ways forming primitive biological organisms.2 nddensity - vegetal and animal kingdom Lessons have to do with biological life, survival, adaptation, competition, group organization as seen with animals and the like. The soul structure is generally a species soul pool, but as species become more advanced, individual members of the species may differentiate themselves by more varied individual learning.3 rddensity - human Lessons of 2 nddensity continue in more complex forms, as in battles for social domination, more survival etc. Individually acquired personality and individual learning play a greater role than in 2 nddensity. Humans are divided into preadamics, who share a species-like soul pool and Adamics, who have an individuated soul. The specific lesson of third density is however making a choice of orientation of service, towards service to others in its greatest possible manifestation or service to self in its greatest possible manifestation. Making such a conscious choice requires having an individuated soul and presumably a large number of lifetimes in third density for the soul to acquire its polarity.4 thdensity This is described as a partly physical state where graduates of third density may deepen and perfect their chosen polarity.

The modern human species (Homo sapiens) appeared in Africa about 1.3 million years ago and remained only in Africa for many years. Homo sapiens extended its population to Europe, Asia and Australia about 40,000 - 50,000 years ago. The first humans known to live in the Western Hemisphere migrated there from Asia about 13,000 years ago. Homo sapiens have existed for at least 60,000 generations.

All have the characteristic shell which is either made of bone or cartilage. There are over 250 species of turtles worldwide. Eternal Life Turtle spirit animal symbolizes longevity and immortality in many mythologies around the world. This may be due to the fact that turtle always looks old with her wrinkly, dry skin and belabored movement. Even freshly hatched out of the egg, she appears elderly. The association with longevity could also be due to the fact that turtles live for a very, very, very long time. The oldest known tortoise passed away in 2006 at 250 years old, and a Galapagos tortoise named “Harriet” recently died 171 years after befriending Darwin. Science is backing what mythology already teaches. Researchers have found that the internal organs of turtles do not age, which is a unique gift in the animal kingdom."

We'd like to show you some of the many ways in which the cultivation of mushrooms can help to tip the scales in Nature's favor, thereby benefiting all the inhabitants of Planet Earth. Farmers, gardeners and scientists have long known about the importance of healthy soil. Human populations have ebbed and flowed according to the carrying capacities of their environment and the food chain it provides. But despite our long history with our environment, we know surprisingly little about the ground beneath our feet. And yet, it is the very soil upon which we depend that is in dire jeopardy. Unless we begin to understand and utilize the dynamics of soil creation, the matrix of life on this planet may begin to unravel.

"text": "\"Why Study Population Growth? Population ecology is the study of how populations — of plants, animals, and other organisms — change over time and space and interact with their environment. Populations are groups of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time. They are described by characteristics that include:population size: the number of individuals in the populationpopulation density: how many individuals are in a particular areapopulation growth: how the size of the population is changing over time. If population growth is just one of many population characteristics, what makes studying it so important? First, studying how and why populations grow (or shrink!) helps scientists make better predictions about future changes in population sizes and growth rates. This is essential for answering questions in areas such as biodiversity conservation (e.g., the polar bear population is declining, but how quickly, and when will it be so small that the population is at risk for extinction?) and human population growth (e.g., how fast will the human population grow, and what does that mean for climate change, resource use, and biodiversity?). Studying population growth also helps scientists understand what causes changes in population sizes and growth rates."

There is no doubt that human impacts on our environments are often very strong – frequently strong enough to exceed the systems’ resilience. Here, we’re going to explore the relationship between human population, resource consumption, and the impact on ecosystems. The IPAT Equation: I = P x A x TA classic attempt to explain the relationship between a human population and its impact on the environment is the IPAT equation. The equation maintains that impacts on ecosystems (I) are the product of the population size (P), affluence (A), and technology (T) of the human population in question. This equation was developed by biologist Paul Ehrlich and environmental scientist John Holdren in 1971, and you might notice that the concept is very similar to the notion of carrying capacity presented earlier in this module. It is elegant in its simplicity, and compelling because it presents such an intuitive narrative. But intuitive narratives are not always the best explanation for complex problems. Remember the caution about carrying capacity: does it really apply to human populations?

"text": "\"Climate Variability The ocean is a significant influence on Earth's weather and climate. The ocean covers 70% of the global surface. This great reservoir continuously exchanges heat, moisture, and carbon with the atmosphere, driving our weather patterns and influencing the slow, subtle changes in our climate. The oceans influence climate by absorbing solar radiation and releasing heat needed to drive the atmospheric circulation, by releasing aerosols that influence cloud cover, by emitting most of the water that falls on land as rain, by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for years to millions of years. The oceans absorb much of the solar energy that reaches earth, and thanks to the high heat capacity of water, the oceans can slowly release heat over many months or years. The oceans store more heat in the uppermost 3 meters (10 feet) that the entire atmosphere, the key to understanding global climate change is inextricably linked to the ocean. Climate is influenced by storage of heat and CARBON DIOXIDE in the ocean, which depends on both physical and biological processes. Let's look at some of these processes. At the end of the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago, and the ice sheets melted away and climate warmed at that time. Ice sheets began to grow, and climate cool about 130,000 years ago at the beginning of the last ice age."

Contents1 Definition2 Origin3 Implications4 Criticism5 Observations5.1 Inconsistencies6 Perfect cosmological principle7 See also8 References Definition [ edit]Astronomer William Keel explains: The cosmological principle is usually stated formally as 'Viewed on a sufficiently large scale, the properties of the universe are the same for all observers.' This amounts to the strongly philosophical statement that the part of the universe which we can see is a fair sample, and that the same physical laws apply throughout. In essence, this in a sense says that the universe is knowable and is playing fair with scientists. [ 1]The cosmological principle depends on a definition of \"\"observer,\"\" and contains an implicit qualification and two testable consequences. \"\" Observers\"\" means any observer at any location in the universe, not simply any human observer at any location on Earth: as Andrew Liddle puts it, \"\"the cosmological principle [means that] the universe looks the same whoever and wherever you are.\"\" [ 2]The qualification is that variation in physical structures can be overlooked, provided this does not imperil the uniformity of conclusions drawn from observation: the Sun is different from the Earth, our galaxy is different from a black hole, some galaxies advance toward rather than recede from us, and the universe has a \"\"foamy\"\" texture of galaxy clusters and voids, but none of these different structures appears to violate the basic laws of physics. The two testable structural consequences of the cosmological principle are homogeneity and isotropy."

And what do they stand for? What is globalism? Sociologists Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King defined globalization as “all those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society.” In other words, it is gradually tending away from the nation-state toward a single world government. The reason that globalists want to get rid of national borders is because global corporations and their owners view borders as artificial boundaries that get in the way of trade."

J. Tim Willis Linguistic Anthropology Eastern Washington University Fall Quarter, 2013 Dr. Michael Zukosky “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” 1 |Page One of the many questions that linguists, both Universalist and Relativist, are trying to answer with regard to language is, to put it quite simply, whether thought affects language and perceptions of reality (Universalist view), or whether language affects thought and perceptions of reality (relativist view). In this short essay, I intend to dissect these two approaches, give examples of both using the Hopi language, and draw from lecture notes, articles mentioned in class, and my personal thoughts and ideas regarding possible pitfalls and advantages in both ideologies. A friend who is a neurobiologist mentioned to me recently, on the similar subject of cognition, thought, and language that his personal view, from a biological perspective, was “the egg came first.” ( His phrase) By this he seemed to be indicating that the mechanics and biology needed for thought and language as an abstraction of thought had to be in place before either could evolve. I find this to be a solid argument. Once we move beyond the initial spark of thought and language, however, into that vague world of perception, it seems to me that things become more clouded and deserve closer inspection.

Such is the case with the words democracy and democratic. In its statements of principle, Marxist communism presents itself as a critique and a negation of democracy; yet communists often defend the democratic character of proletarian organisations (the state system of workers' councils, trade unions and the party) and the application of democracy within them. There is certainly no contradiction in this, and no objection can be made to the use of the dilemma, «either bourgeois democracy or proletarian democracy» as a perfect equivalent to the formula «bourgeois democracy or proletarian dictatorship». The Marxist critique of the postulates of bourgeois democracy is in fact based on the definition of the class character of modern society. It demonstrates the theoretical inconsistency and the practical deception of a system which pretends to reconcile political equality with the division of society into social classes determined by the nature of the mode of production. Political freedom and equality, which, according to the theory of liberalism, are expressed in the right to vote, have no meaning except on a basis that excludes inequality of fundamental economic conditions. For this reason we communists accept their application within the class organisations of the proletariat and contend that they should function democratically. In order to avoid creating ambiguities, and dignifying the concept of democracy, so entrenched in the prevailing ideology which we strive relentlessly to demolish, it would be desirable to use a different term in each of the two cases. Even if we do not do this, it is nonetheless useful to look a little further into the very content of the democratic principle, both in general and in its application to homogeneous class organs."

By TORI De ANGELISNovember 2001, Vol 32, No. 10Print version: page 60When people face a crisis, they often revert to an unfortunate human tendency: to protect their own while finding a scapegoat to blame the problem on. These propensities emerged full blown in the days following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Arab Americans who had previously blended into the crowd suddenly became targets of suspicion, prey to verbal bullying, e-mail harassment, store lootings and even murder. Arab students, fearing for their safety, fled the United States and returned home. \"\" We're in a mode where we feel like we have to protect ourselves, where we feel that everyone who is clearly not 'us' needs to be scrutinized,\"\" says Ervin Staub, Ph D, professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an expert on helping, altruism and the origins and prevention of ethnopolitical conflict. \"\" When people are victimized as individuals or as a group, it creates a diminished sense of self, a view that the world is a more dangerous place. \"\" Most Americans would never overtly act on the feelings of mistrust that may have developed since the attacks. But a small proportion of Americans have participated in incidents ranging from name-hurling to full-blown hate crimes, like the much-publicized murder of a Sikh gas-station owner by an Arizona man or another person's attempt to run over a Pakistani woman in a Huntington, N. Y., parking lot."

Uniformity is discussed in both words, yet both are defined with no connection. Depending on the subject, properties and the classification, these terms can be distinguished. Homogeneous: Homogeneous means that something is uniform throughout. Homogeneity depends on the context which it is based on. A homogeneous material means a material which has uniform composition and uniform properties throughout. Metals, alloys, ceramics are examples of homogeneous materials. Homogeneity is discussed in many fields like physics, chemistry, nature, cosmology, etc. In chemistry, homogeneity is applied to mixtures, reactions and so on. An electric field can be taken as an example, to describe homogeneity in the field of physics."

S. students continue to trail Asian students in math, reading, science” [3]These are a few of the thousands of headlines generated by the release of the 2011 TIMSS and PIRLS results today. Although the results are hardly surprising or news worthy, judging from the headlines, we can expect another global wave of handwringing, soul searching, and calls for reform. But before we do, we should ask how meaningful these scores and rankings are. “Numbers don’t lie,” many may say but what truth do they tell? Look at the following numbers: Table 1: Scores and Attitudes of 8th Graders in TIMSS 2011Country Math Scores Confidence (%) (4th Grade) Value Math (%)Korea 613 03 (11) 14Singapore 611 14 (21) 43Chinese Taipei 609 07 (20) 13Hong Kong 586 07 (24) 26Japan 570 02 (09) 13United States 509 24 (40) 51England 507 16 (33) 48Australia 505 17 (38) 46These are the scores of 8 th graders and percentage of them saying they are confident in math and value math. Top scoring Korea has only 3% of students feeling confident in their math and 14% valuing math, in contrast is Australia with much lower scores but significantly higher percentage of students feeling confident in math and valuing math. In fact, the top 5 East Asian countries in math scores have way fewer students reporting confidence in math and valuing math than the U. S., England, and Australia, all scored significantly lower. It gives me a headache to understand these numbers: Do they mean that even if the Korean students do not think math is important, they study it anyway? and they have a very effective education that can make people who do not value math to be outstanding in it? Or since these are 8 th graders, do they mean that after learning math for 8 years, the students feel the math they have been learning is not important in life?"

Language Maintenance and Language Shift - a Contrarian Viewpoint\"\"Language is use\"\" - Ludwig Wittgenstein Thor May2005Abstract: This short informal paper stems from reflection on an address by Ken Hale, doyen of minority languages (and now sadly deceased). It looks at the role of linguists themselves in the dynamic of language maintenance and the twin phenomena of language loss and language birth. The uniqueness of each language is weighed against the costs and benefits of language homogenization. It is recognized that the majority of speakers are ultimately pragmatists about language choice, yet an argument remains for offering some minority language support to groups struggling with their ethnic identity. Finally, it is asked whether language maintenance or revival can actually pose other risks under certain conditions. Linguists' arguments for language maintenance are often ideological. It is an ideology which tends to rationalize the linguists' own interests as a surrogate for the interests of language speakers in affected communities. Both interests may actually coincide, but often enough they do not."

"text": "\"Homogenized milk is any sort of milk that has been mechanically treated to ensure that it has a smooth, even consistency. The homogenization process typically involves high temperatures, agitation, and filtration, all aimed at breaking down milk's naturally occurring fat molecules. Once broken, these molecules stay suspended in the milk and resist separation. The process makes fat filtration much easier for manufacturers, and lengthens milk's shelf life. Why Milk Is Homogenized Milk is a combination of fats, proteins, and water. When raw milk is left to stand for any length of time, the fat molecules typically float to the top. This creates a layer of cream that many farmers and raw milk aficionados use as a measure of the milk's quality: the thicker the cream, the better the milk. Many find the separation distasteful, however, if not an impediment to actually drinking the liquid. The Process Homogenization allows milk manufacturers to combine the cream and milk so that it does not separate. The process is purely mechanical, and involves no additives or chemical treatments."

The approach reflects what researchers have discovered about the alphabetic, pattern, and meaning layers of English orthography. Teachers use a variety of hands-on activities, often called word work, to help students actively explore these layers of information. When studying the alphabetic layer, students examine the relationship between letters and sounds. They learn to match single letters and pairs of letters (e.g., ch) to specific sounds and, in doing so, to create words. When students study the pattern layer, they look beyond single or paired letter-sounds to search for larger patterns that guide the grouping of letters (e.g., CVC e ). Studying the meaning layer helps students to understand how the English spelling system can directly reflect the semantic relationships across related words."

An isotropic cosmology is one in which there are no \"\"special\"\" directions: at a given instant in time, the universe appears the same in every direction (again, on sufficiently large spatial scales). Together, they form the Cosmological principle. As pointed out by Brian Hooper, these symmetries (when applied to physical laws) give rise to the conservations of linear and angular momentum as a result of Noether's theorem. In addition, the cosmological principal is important for the physical interpretation of observational data, and not only because it is a generally unspoken assumption when using physical laws tested on Earth to model distant objects (galaxies, quasars, etc.) For example, it supports the interpretation of the Hubble diagram as the result of the expansion of the universe as opposed to evidence that the Earth (or someplace \"\"nearby\"\") was at the center of a very big conventional explosion."

"text": "Origin of badminton A study of the origin of badminton takes us back more than 2000 years in time to ancient China, where a game was played at that time called 'Ti Jian Zi ' which involved kicking feathered shuttlecocks to and fro without using rackets. Though debatable, the modern game of badminton may have its roots in this age-old game of 'Ti Jian Zi' and it may have been the origin of badminton. The history of modern times traces the origins of badminton to the 'Poona game', which was a game that was invented and played by some British officers in the 1860s when they were stationed at the city of 'Poona' in India. ( The city is now known as Pune). These officers added a net to the traditional British game of Battledore and shuttlecock. In mainland Europe Battledore was known by its French name ' jeu de volant '. Likewise the history of modern badminton may also have it roots in the game of ' ball badminton' which is a native sport of India that was played as early as in 1856 by the royal family in Tanjore in Tamil Nadu in India. The game involves hitting a yellow ball of wool with rackets on a court divided by a net. Badminton got its name from the 'The Badminton house ' in Gloucestershire County of England, which was the home of the Duke of Bueufort who helped to popularize the game. British officers who had returned to the county played a game of 'Poona' at the 'Badminton house' and it soon became a favorite of the British elite class."

Under the initiative, a child or his parents, teachers or coaches can upload his bio data or video on the portal. The Sports ministry will select talented players and impart training to them at Sports Authority India centres. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made a mention of the portal launch during his 'Man ki Baat' radio programme. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Union Minister Vijay Goel launch the National Sports Talent Search Portal - an initiative of the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports - in New Delhi. PTISpeaking on the occasion, Naidu said that the provision of infrastructure and training facilities and establishment of academies would be critical to India becoming a strong sporting nation. \"\" We need to create good infrastructure for sports in all states and nurture sporting talent from an early age. Across the length and breadth of the country, we need more training academies and coaching centres to turn our young men and women into sports stars and role models for succeeding generations,\"\" he said. \"\" Barring cricket and hockey earlier as team sports, our success in sports events is sporadic and more on account of individual effort and excellence, rather than any state patronage and encouragement. That must change."

"text": "How to Play Badminton and Badminton History Badminton is an Indoor Sport It is played on a rectangular court measuring 44 feet x 17 feet (13.4 x 5.18 meters) for a singles match (one player per side) and 44 feet x 20 feet (13.4 x 6.1 meters) for a doubles match (two players per side). The net is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) and stretches across the center of the court. The court is then divided on each side by a service line, six feet six inches (1.98 meters) from the net for both singles and doubles, with an added long service line, two feet six inches from the back boundary. There is an addition line that runs from the service line to the back boundary line, perpendicular to the net that divides the back part of the court into service courts. The Equipment for Badminton Each player has a racket and the game is played with a shuttlecock, sometimes called a birdie. The birdie is shaped like a cone and moves much slower through the air than a ball. Scoring A point is scored when the birdie hits the floor on the opponent’s side, regardless of who is serving. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game. However, the winning team must win by two points. In the case of a tie (20 points each), the first team to score two additional points is the winner."

The BWF has strict rules governing all aspects of the game, including he height of the net. Posts The badminton net must be suspended from two posts located on either side of the court. The posts are placed on the side lines used for doubles play, even when playing singles badminton. The posts cannot extend into the area of play and they must remain vertical when the net is stretched between them. The posts must measure 6-feet 1-inch from the court surface to the top. Net Dimensions The net must be at least 20 feet wide. The net's height is 2 1/2 feet, however this is only the height of the net itself, not including additional height from being suspended off the ground."

But, there’s one more game that is getting to be famous among sports enthusiasts, which is improvised variant of tennis, badminton and ping pong. Pickleball Pickleball is an amazingly fun game that individuals who have other racket games, playing experience can get rapidly. In any case, a better aspect concerning a pickleball game (dissimilar to tennis) is that regardless of the possibility that you’ve never played a racket sport in your life, you can play and can have a ton of fun inside the first session. Pickleball, a game which doesn’t involve a pickle, initially began in the mid 60s when people wanted to play badminton yet couldn’t discover the shuttlecock. So they began playing utilizing rackets from plywood with a Wiffle ball rather than a tennis ball and by bringing down the net on the tennis court. You can play Pickleball with wooden paddles, aluminum paddle, or composite material paddle. The ball is made of punctured plastic. Presently, a game which began as a side interest in a family lawn is currently authoritatively a very popular game. So we thought, how about we list out some benefits of building a Pickleball court on your property."

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays.1. Introduction Although leadership is recognised as being an important construct, it is not a concept that holds one single definition. What leadership actually is, or how to define it correctly is still regarded as a mystery by many. Leadership is something that may differ depending on the people involved, the situation at hand, and the goals being pursued, and is therefore open to subjective interpretation. Stogdill (1974: 259) concluded that there are ‘almost as many definitions of leadership as there are persons who have attempted to define the concept'. It could be argued that everyone has their own understanding of what constitutes leadership, based on personal and learning experiences, and situations and people, which is exactly why it is difficult to capture in a succinct definition. Grint (2004) narrows down the key reasons as to why it is so difficult to find a single and agreed understanding of leadership: process problems, position problems, philosophy problems, and purity problems. These problems refer to whether leadership is derived from traits or a social process, whether a leader is automatically in charge with formally allocated authority, and the questions as to whether a leader has intentional influence on the behaviour of followers, and is leadership embodied in individuals or groups and is it a purely human phenomenon."

So what is this sport that has such an odd name? Pickleball is a hybrid sport of tennis and ping pong, but has a few key differences. The game is played on a court that is about half the size of a tennis court — or the same size as a badminton court. The net that stretches across the court is very similar to a tennis net, although it is slightly shorter."

In the actual game the changes in muscle contraction will undoubtedly be more complex because, as well as the agonist and antagonist muscles, and the synergist muscles that also take part in the movement, completion of a movement often requires more than one muscle. The shoulder, for instance, is one of the most complex parts of the body for muscle operation. When we play badminton we use the muscle of the shoulder joint very time we swing the racket so understanding how the shoulder joint works and how the muscles contract is very important. The shoulder is one of the joints on the body with the greatest degree of movement and most complex movement. The movements of the shoulder joint can be divided into six types－shoulder flexion, shoulder extension, shoulder abduction, shoulder adduction, shoulder lateral rotation and shoulder medial rotation. Below, the muscles used in these six shoulder movements will be introduced.6 movements of the shoulder joint1. Shoulder flexion Deltoid muscleanterior fiber Coracobrachialis Pectoralis major2.
