He or she assesses educational programs, selects textbooks and instructional technology, trains teachers and sometimes develops curricula. Job duties commonly include evaluation, monitoring and research. The primary role of a curriculum specialist is to assess how effectively a curriculum meets the students’ needs. To evaluate this effectiveness, a specialist often meets with advisory committees and school staff. Sometimes, he or she is authorized to review and recommend texts, educational software and other equipment. Another component of the position might be to relate a curriculum to applicable occupations. Other job titles for a someone in this position include staff development specialist or director of instructional material.

"text": "\"Teaching Careers Updated November 14, 2017Physical Education Teacher: Job and Salary Information for P. E. Teachers By Eric Gill • October 4, 2012Physical education teachers have an important job — not only are P. E. teachers responsible for the physical well-being of students, P. E. teachers also play a vital role in students’ educational prowess. P. E. teachers help students focus their bodies and minds. Numerous studies on early childhood development and adult cognitive retention levels demonstrate that engaging in physical activities throughout the day increases oxygen to the brain and regulates hormones, which improves productivity and learning. In other words, daily cardiovascular exercise strengthens the heart muscle, increases alertness, reduces stress, and helps students focus. In addition to helping students stay mentally fit, physical education teachers raise the bar for making healthy choices throughout life — from elementary school into adulthood. Physical education teachers are vital to K-12 learning because they contribute to the overall improvement of education across America, which ultimately leads to higher statewide test scores. Although their roles in elementary schools are somewhat limited, physical education teachers help students at the middle and high school levels stay fit, set and accomplish goals and build character.

Fees for day students are usually cheaper than school fees in the U. K. and demand for places can be high. If you and/or your children are intent on returning to the U. K. to live, then choose a school that follows the National Curriculum and offers IGCSE, AS/A Level or the IB. International schools in Spain that follows a British style of education can optionally belong to the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS), or to the European Council of International Schools (ECIS).

"text": "Careers in Early Childhood Education What is early childhood education? The field of early childhood education deals with teaching and education young children, usually at a preschool level. Early childhood education emerged as a separate branch of education after several studies were conducted and indicated that the years before a child goes to kindergarten are the most critical for developing their learning abilities and social skills. These studies were conducted by the Department of Education, and several other government organizations in different countries. The increasing awareness about the importance of education during these formative years has led to a special emphasis in educating children in a manner that ensures optimum intellectual, physical, emotional and social development. Featured Schools According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ May 2015 statistics, preschool, primary, secondary, and special education school teachers earned a median salary of $53,860. The job growth in this field is expected to be 6% (2014-24). While Preschool teachers earned $28,570 and the job growth in this field is expected to be 7% (2014-24). Job Title Pay Job Outlook Preschool, primary, secondary, and special education school teachers $53,860 6%Preschool Teachers $28,570 7%Total, All Occupations $36,200 7%In a recently conducted research, The Department of Education determined that the children who received some form of early childhood education outperformed the students who did not obtain any formal education at a young age. The National Research Center on Early Childhood Education has also released data suggesting that initiating the education process at a young age helps kick-start the learning process and allows children to learn vital social skills which will benefit them for the rest of their lives."

Learning theories and training Training approach Extension personnel around the world in need of training Types of training Phases of training Implementation phase Evaluation phase References Training is the process of acquiring specific skills to perform a job better (Jucious, 1963). It helps people to become qualified and proficient in doing some jobs (Dahama, 1979). Usually an organization facilitates the employees' learning through training so that their modified behaviour contributes to the attainment of the organization's goals and objectives. Van Dersal (1962) defined training as the process of teaching, informing, or educating people so that (1) they may become as well qualified as possible to do their job, and (2) they become qualified to perform in positions of greater difficulty and responsibility. Flippo (1961) differentiated between education and training, locating these at the two ends of a continuum of personnel development ranging from a general education to specific training. While training is concerned with those activities which are designed to improve human performance on the job that employees are at present doing or are being hired to do, education is concerned with increasing general knowledge and understanding of the total environment. Education is the development of the human mind, and it increases the powers of observation, analysis, integration, understanding, decision making, and adjustment to new situations. Learning theories and training Learning theories are the basic materials which are usually applied in all educational and training activities."

Help!josiejo Junior Member Registered: 01/07/08 Posts: 18We just had a discussion with our son's gifted specialist at his school (at year's end). Our son is 9, almost 10, and finishing 4th grade at our local public school. His MAP test scores were 240 in reading and 255 in math in the spring (99th percentile for both). I'm having trouble interpreting those scores a bit and knowing what they mean in terms of grade-level ability. He's headed to a new school (a 5/6 upper elementary) in the fall, and I'm wondering how to advocate for him. In all honesty, we've sort of let him move through elementary school with the resources provided - some pull-out enrichment with two very talented gifted specialists. He was pushed up to high reading group in first grade when he was still in kindergarten, but it did seem that some of the other kids caught up enough to at least have some peers in reading by the end of second grade. I'm not sure he's ever really had peers at his school in math."

The term \"\"21st-century learning” is now identified with a number of core skills and competencies, most notably collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Broadly defined, 21 st century learning has come to mean that schools need to teach a set of different skills to properly prepare students for a rapidly changing, technologically advanced world. Upon closer examination, describing what learning in the 21 st century should look like is, in the words of Education Week, “open to much interpretation – and controversy. ”Advocates for 21 st century learning tend to put tremendous faith in digital learning and the broader potential unleashed by access to the Internet. Many apostles of the new approach focus to a large extent on developing accessing skills --- teaching kids how to learn (how to access information or look things up) rather than transmitting specific knowledge to the students. World knowledge and technology changes too rapidly today, so the argument runs, to bother with transmitting \"\"soon-to-be-outmoded facts\"\". As a result, schools teach kids how to access the Internet and tap into the storehouse of resources it unlocks far more than accessing traditional book or library sources."

As Guba and Lincoln (1981) pointed out, a Chinese emperor in 2200 B. C required that his public officials demonstrate their proficiency in formal competency test. In Ghana, the publics’ insistence on educational accountability, the experts’ demand for educational reforms, and the educators’ concomitant needs for evidence of results have all contributed to the current interest in theories and methods of curriculum. However, unfortunately much of this interest seems to have result in an ill-conceived obsession with text results. Human beings at every level, group, institutions or government have devised systems or process by which they may pass judgement such as ―good‖ or ―bad‖ on something or somebody. For example, people have ideas of pronouncing a work as ―beautiful‖ or ―not beautiful‖, a dress as ―fitting‖ or ―not fitting. This means that it is not difficult to see that human beings have evolved a culture of judgement. This is the correct way to illustrate the concept of curriculum evaluation. 1.1 Definition of key terms To ensure that certain consensus exits regarding the terminology in this work. Definition of key terms is paramount to facilitate understanding of their use in this work."

You look at things like the level of technology, the type of teaching, the quality of textbooks, and the way different subjects are handled. Often, you talk with Teachers and students (after all, they’re the ones who know these things best) to find out which methods are or aren’t working. Once done with your research, you start looking for ways to improve things. For example, you might suggest new materials like textbooks, classroom activities, and technology or computer programs."

"text": "\"Educating Students With Visual Impairments for Inclusion in Society A Paper On The Inclusion Of Students With Visual Impairments Executive Summary\"\"Inclusion,\"\" \"\"full inclusion\"\" and \"\"inclusive education\"\" are terms which recently have been narrowly defined by some (primarily educators of students with severe disabilities) to espouse the philosophy that ALL students with disabilities, regardless of the nature or the severity of their disability, receive their TOTAL education within the regular education environment. This philosophy is based on the relatively recent placement of a limited number of students with severe disabilities in regular classrooms. Research conducted by proponents of this philosophy lacks empirical evidence that this practice results in programs which are better able to prepare ALL students with visual impairments to be more fully included in society than the current practice, required by federal law, of providing a full range of program options. Educators and parents of students with visual impairments have pioneered special education and inclusive program options, for over 164 years. It is significant that the field of education of visually impaired students was the first to develop a range of special education program options, beginning with specialized schools in 1829 and extending to inclusive (including \"\"full inclusion\"\") public school program options since 1900. Experience and research clearly support the following three position statements outlining the essential elements which must be in place in order to provide an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for students with visual impairments. This document also contains papers which provide additional information supporting each of these position statements and a list of selected readings on inclusion for students with visual impairments. I. Students with visual impairments have unique educational needs which are most effectively met using a team approach of professionals, parents and students. In order to meet their unique needs, students must have specialized services, books and materials in appropriate media (including braille), as well as specialized equipment and technology to assure equal access to the core and specialized curricula, and to enable them to most effectively compete with their peers in school and ultimately in society.

"text": "\"Strategy: Definitions and Meaning© Fred Nickols 2012Introduction The concept of strategy has been borrowed from the military and adapted for use in business. A review of what noted writers about business strategy have to say suggests that adopting the concept was easy because the adaptation required has been modest. In business, as in the military, strategy bridges the gap between policy and tactics. Together, strategy and tactics bridge the gap between ends and means (Figure 1). This paper reviews various definitions of strategy for the purpose of clarifying the concept and placing it in context. The author's aim is to make the concepts of policy, strategy, tactics, ends, and means more useful to those who concern themselves with these matters. Figure 1 - Strategy & Tactics Some Language Basics Strategy is a term that comes from the Greek strategia, meaning \"\"generalship.\"\" In the military, strategy often refers to maneuvering troops into position before the enemy is actually engaged. In this sense, strategy refers to the deployment of troops. Once the enemy has been engaged, attention shifts to tactics."

To do this properly, you should allow 30 to 45 minutes to complete the course. So, take out a pad of paper and a pen (or pencil).

Lowe's would not allow me one night a week for me to be with my youth group. The schedule is awful; 3 different shifts (morning, afternoon, evening) worked each week. This is extremely tiring and unhealthy to the body to not have a normal sleeping and eating schedule. If you work the sales floor you do a lot of housekeeping and returns, and then try to help the customer. But Lowe's does not make that easy with the limited amount of stock on hand and the lack of any training regarding products and installation services. The amount of shoplifting is tremendous. You will pick up several empty packages every single shift. Several store and department managers recently left this particular store in the past month and a half, some took demotions, however turnover has been very high (greater than 50% of people I started with are gone).

"text": "\"PRICING POLICY AND STRATEGYFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: kentoh Managers should start setting prices during the development stage as part of strategic pricing to avoid launching products or services that cannot sustain profitable prices in the market. This approach to pricing enables companies to either fit costs to prices or scrap products or services that cannot be generated cost-effectively. Through systematic pricing policies and strategies, companies can reap greater profits and increase or defend their market shares. Setting prices is one of the principal tasks of marketing and finance managers in that the price of a product or service often plays a significant role in that product's or service's success, not to mention in a company's profitability. Generally, pricing policy refers how a company sets the prices of its products and services based on costs, value, demand, and competition. Pricing strategy, on the other hand, refers to how a company uses pricing to achieve its strategic goals, such as offering lower prices to increase sales volume or higher prices to decrease backlog. Despite some degree of difference, pricing policy and strategy tend to overlap, and the different policies and strategies are not necessarily mutually exclusive. After establishing the bases for their prices, managers can begin developing pricing strategies by determining company pricing goals, such as increasing short-term and long-term profits, stabilizing prices, increasing cash flow, and warding off competition. Managers also must take into account current market conditions when developing pricing strategies to ensure that the prices they choose fit market conditions. In addition, effective pricing strategy involves considering customers, costs, competition, and different market segments ."

The injured worker, employer or their authorized representatives must initiate appeals.4Q: What information is needed along with the C-9?4A: Supporting medical documentation, including clinical examination and diagnostic test findings are important documentation to include with the C-9.

"text": "A cytologist is a medical professional who specializes in the study of cells. He may concentrate his work in the examination of animal cells, plant cells or both. A cytologist normally works in a medical laboratory in a hospital, clinic or medical research company. A microscope is the main tool used by a cytologist. A large part of his work involves sectioning cells and examining them on slides. He regularly uses a microtome to slice the tissues into minuscule pieces to better observe their activity. Staining, a method by which tissues are exposed to different substances and analyzed based on the colors that emerge, is another major part of his job. A person in this profession typically has minimal patient contact. In the laboratory, he frequently works in unison with one or more pathologists. Physicians often consult with him when they are attempting to make a diagnosis more concise so they can more precisely treat the malady."

"text": "Krupa Unadkat, works at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda Answered May 30, 2017Stomata are tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange. Stomata are typically found in plant leaves but can also be found in some stems. Specialized cells known as guard cells surround stomata and function to open and close stomatal pores. The two main functions of stomata are to allow for the uptake of carbon dioxide and to limit the loss of water due to evaporation. In many plants, stomata remain open during the day and closed at night. Stomata are open during the day because this is when photosynthesis typically occurs. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose, water, and oxygen. Glucose is used as a food source, while oxygen and water vapor escape through open stomata into the surrounding environment. Carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis is obtain through open plant stomata. At night, when sunlight is no longer available and photosynthesis is not occurring, stomata close."

"text": "\"The rediscovery of Mendel's laws near the beginning of the twentieth century triggered intense interest in the principles of heredity. The chromosome theory of heredity was proven early in the century; meanwhile, a great deal of scientific interest was directed toward learning more about chromosomes themselves. However, defining the human diploid chromosome number would prove more challenging than investigators initially anticipated. Difficulties in determining the human diploid number arose for a variety of reasons. For one, early experiments that provided evidence for the chromosome theory often used invertebrate species that reproduced in large numbers and had a relatively low number of well-defined chromosomes. Neither of these characteristics, of course, is a common finding in humans. In addition, the human samples initially used for chromosome analysis were derived from fresh testicular tissue in which haploid meiotic cells were often present. Furthermore, what morphology could be deduced suggested that human chromosomes were more complex than those of the model organisms studied earlier. In light of these and other factors, an erroneous estimate by prominent cytologist Theophilus Painter dominated the field for decades, until researchers Joe Hin Tjio and Albert Levan eventually applied new technology to identify the true diploid number of human chromosomes.

S. in biology, took some chemistry Answered Oct 26, 2016 · Upvoted by Jeffrey Brender, Postdoc in experimental and computational biophysics · Author has 344 answers and 740.6k answer views Originally Answered: What are the differences between substrate level and oxidative phosphorylation? Substrate level phosphorylation is when ADP is converted to ATP by the direct transfer of a phosphate group. The phosphate group is donated or transfered from a phosphorylated intermediate. This is in contrast to oxidative phosphorylation, where a chemiosmotic gradient is used to power the phosphorylation process. A simple way to think of the difference is that in substrate level, the phosphorylation is a direct process, with no middle man. The phosphate comes off of one molecule (the intermediate) and is directly transfered to another (the ADP). The energy for the phosphorylation of ADP is provided directly from breaking the high energy phosphate bond on the intermediate molecule. This is referred to as reaction coupling. Oxidative phosphorylation has middle men in the form of NADH and the electron transport enzymes. The phosphate comes from a pool of inorganic phosphates instead of directly from another molecule, and the energy to phosphorylate the ADP comes from the proton gradient, not from coupled reactions."

"text": "Referral to the Oncologist Once Cancer is Suspected: Scary Waiting for the diagnostic process to begin can be a period of torment. Posted Jun 28, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMOREPhysicians and dentists generally send those patients with suspected or confirmed cancer to oncologists*. These referrers can be primary care doctors, gynecologists, endocrinologists, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists, dermatologists and others. Not uncommonly, at the time of the initial visit with a surgeon or one of the other oncologists, the patient is unclear as to whether they have a malignancy. Many of them have been told, but they did not hear what they did not want to hear. This reflects something I wrote in an earlier blog - the brain is an effective filtration system for frightening information. In situations in which there is suspicion but no proof of cancer, the referring doctor may have told the patient, “You have a problem,” or “You have a tumor,” or “You have a growth,” but often the realistic possibility remains unclear or even has been denied by the patient. It should not be surprising that many doctors seek to avoid delivering bad news, and in my opinion it’s correct for them to skirt around the cancer or malignancy words until proof is actually established. In most patients, the use of the slightly evasive terms such as “a problem, a tumor, a growth” is enough, unless for some reason, the next step of arranging for an oncologist is inordinately delayed, in which case it is more difficult to be vague. However, even if such is not the case, the patient will sometimes push the referring physician to speculate - this tricky conversation should be avoided! If the patient asks directly, “Could it be malignant?”"

Last Updated On: Tuesday, May 25, 2010The human body comprises of about 50 to 75 trillion cells. The cell is the smallest unit of life and is often called the building block of life. A single cell is made up of many different organelles, that have specific functions, such as the nucleus, Golgi bodies, mitochondria, peroxisomes and lysosomes. In this article, we shall learn about lysosome structure, its function and its importance in the cell. Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane bound organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of both plant and animal cells. The word lysosome was derived from two Greek words, 'lysis' which means destruction or dissolution and 'soma' which means 'body'. Lysosomes were discovered in 1949, by a Belgian cytologist, Christian de Duve. Lysosome Structure Lysosomes are actually membranous sacs filled with enzymes.

However, instead of being in a contained organelle they use their cell membrane. This is what is happening in the mitochondria: The citric acid cycle is active in the inner membrane (matrix), this generates NADH which enters the electron transport chain on the inner membrane (complex I-IV) and pump protons (H+) into the mitochondria's intermembrane space. Those protons are shuttled back into the matrix by ATP synthase, which uses them to make ATP. I mention this because bacteria do the same thing. The citric acid cycle takes place in the cytoplasm of the bacteria, and NADH go to the same protein complexes in the membrane. However, the protons are pumped into the space between the cell membrane and the cell wall instead of the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. Just like in the mitochondria, these protons are used by ATP synthase to generate ATP."

This has become particularly apparent in recent years, when the limitations of the Pap test as a method for detecting glandular lesions of the cervix have become evident. Numerous studies have described the low sensitivity of the Pap test for the detection of adenocarcinoma. Sensitivity of Pap testing for true glandular neoplasia is less than that for squamous lesions, in part because glandular lesions arise in the endocervical canal where they may be difficult to sample. ( See Suggested Readings) The specificity of cytologic detection of glandular abnormalities is also problematic, given the high frequency in which cytologic diagnosis of \"\"Atypical Glandular Cells (NOS)\"\" is subsequently associated with non-glandular histology, such as a squamous lesion or a reactive process on follow-up. This difficulty arises from several factors. The sampling technique can impose artifacts on glandular cell clusters that make their identification and classification difficult. Smearing and air-drying, or rounding-up of cells in fluid all affect morphology. Also, glandular cells in Pap samples can have diverse origins, from the endocervix, lower uterine segment, endometrium, or other Muellerian tissues. This diversity, coupled with the relative infrequency of glandular lesions, represents a challenge to the cytologist."

These restrictions may limit your driving privilege to operating a vehicle when certain conditions are met. One of the most common Illinois drivers license restriction is the requirement to drive during daylight hours only, which is applied to drivers with poor vision. Illinois provisional driver's license restrictions are part of the state graduated driver's license system and should only be observed by those who are under 18 years of age. If you have any questions regarding Illinois driver's license restriction codes, you can call your local SOS office for assistance. Restriction Codes Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a full list of Illinois drivers license restriction codes.

"text": "What to Worry About for a Pre Employment Background Check. Posted on October 5, 2016 by Attorney Christopher Dort Looking for a new job and worried about a pre-employment background check? You are not alone. Finding out what negative information about you is available to potential employers early may prevent the loss of a valuable job offer. Here is a breakdown of the main types of “background checks” employers typically use, possibilities for corrective action, and info on how to Do Your Own On Line Background Checks. There is no standard “Background Check” that all employers use. Employers may use any number of methods and sources to do a “background check”. And the laws on background states vary from state to state, and even from occupation to occupation. Thus, it is important to understand the terminology of what you may be asked to consent to when applying for a job. “Background check” is a common term used to describe any one or a combination of reports collected about individuals for employment purposes."

"text": "Home » Information Illinois Driver's License Classifications By Betty Jean Steinshouer Steve Allen/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images Illinois driver's license classifications are Class A, B, C D, L and M, based on the weight and number of wheels of the vehicles. It also depends on whether the driver will be hauling hazardous materials or towing trailers. Commercial driver's licenses in Illinois are Class A, B, C, or some combination, in accordance with Federal CDL guidelines. A CDL is usually required for school bus, child care vehicle and commuter vehicle permits and for vehicles transporting members of a religious or senior citizen community. Illinois drivers who have had their driver's licenses revoked may still be able to drive using special permits for going to work or meeting other family or medical needs. Class LA Class L vehicle is motor-driven but with less than 150 cc displacement. A motorcycle is 150 cc and over, whether two-wheel or three-wheel. A moped is neither a Class L vehicle nor a motorcycle and may be operated with any current, valid Illinois driver's license as long as it meets these four criteria: it is not equipped with an internal combustion engine, it produces two horsepower braking or less, its power drive does not require shifting by its operator and it is a low-speed vehicle, attaining speeds of 20 to 30 mph in a mile. Class MTo legally ride a motorcycle in the state of Illinois, you must take a special test and complete a training course, which will result, if you pass, in having a motorcycle or Class M designation added to your regular driver's license. Class DClass D is the standard license to operate an automobile in Illinois."

"text": "\"Speed Limit Enforcement The Law It is the driver's responsibility to be aware of the posted speed limit. The maximum speed limit is 65 miles per hour on rural interstates, 55 miles per hour on interstate highways near or in major cities and on other highways, and 30 miles per hour in an urban area unless some other speed restriction is established. The maximum speed limit outside an urban district for a house car, camper, private living coach, vehicle licensed as a recreational vehicle, any vehicle towing any other vehicle, and vehicles of the second division designed or used for the carrying of a gross weight of 8,001 pounds or more, is 65 miles per hour. No vehicle may be driven upon any highway of Illinois at a speed which is greater than is reasonable and proper with regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway, or endangers the safety of any person or property. The fact that the speed of a vehicle does not exceed the applicable maximum speed limit does not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, or when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions. Speed must be decreased as necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle on or entering the highway. Bail For speeding not more than 20 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and other traffic offenses, as provided for under Supreme Court Rule #526, a person shall post bail in the amount of $120 in one of the following ways: (1) posting $120 cash bail; or (2) by depositing, in lieu of such amount, an approved bond certificate; or (3) by depositing, in lieu of such amount, a current Illinois driver’s license. Bail for speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the posted limit, but not more than 30 miles per hour over the posted limit, is $140 cash or in lieu of such amount, his/her current Illinois driver's license or an approved bond certificate. Bail for speeding more than 30 miles per hour over the posted speed limit is $160 cash or in lieu of such amount, his/her driver's license or an approved bond certificate. Bail for failure to use safety belts is $60 cash or in lieu of such amount, his/her current Illinois driver's license or an approved bond certificate."

Except as provided in subsection (a) (1), in any application for reinstatement, an RDP, or the termination of an order of cancellation at a show cause hearing, all petitioners must submit an alcohol and drug evaluation and, where required, evidence of successful completion of an alcohol and drug-related driver risk education course and/or evidence of successful completion of early intervention, treatment or proof of adequate rehabilitative progress. These requirements apply to MDDP offenders whose permits are cancelled and who apply for an RDP pursuant to IVC Section 6-206.1 (l) and Section 1001.444 (a) of this Part.1) An alcohol and drug evaluation and the evidence of successful completion of early intervention or treatment submitted by a resident of Illinois must have been conducted by an individual or an agency licensed by DASA. An alcohol or drug-related driver risk education course completed by an Illinois resident must have been provided by an individual or agency licensed by DASA. ( See 77 Ill. Adm. Code 2060.201.) Exceptions to these requirements will be allowed in the following cases: A) If the petitioner is currently and has been temporarily residing outside the State of Illinois (except as provided in Section 1001.100 (a) (2)), then the evaluation, early intervention, treatment, and driver risk education course may be provided by an individual or agency accredited by the state in which the individual or agency operates;B) If the petitioner currently resides in Illinois but received treatment for alcohol or drug abuse or dependence from a treatment program located outside the State of Illinois that has been appropriately accredited by the state in which it operates, then the petitioner may document the successful completion of that treatment in the manner provided by subsection (m).

"text": "I got a ticket for driving without a valid driver’s license. What are the penalties in Illinois?by Sami Azhari on March 17, 2010Driving without a valid driver’s license in Illinois is not just a traffic ticket. It can be a criminal offense. The law is set out at 625 ILCS 5/6-101, which provides that it is against the law to operate a motor vehicle on a public highway in Illinois without a license, permit, or restricted driving permit (RDP). A ticket is usually a petty offense, which has a maximum fine of $1,000. The offense is a Class B misdemeanor if the person had no license and was too young to obtain a permit. A Class B misdemeanor has a penalty of up to six months in jail and a $1,500 fine. Although it is not likely that the defendant would go to jail, the author of this article has seen judges impose very stiff sentences on young drivers to send a message. If the person’s driver’s license is expired and it has been more than one year since the expiration, the ticket is a Class B misdemeanor offense. If the person had a driver’s license, it was suspended or revoked, and they failed to get it reinstated after the period of suspension or revocation, then the offense is a Class A misdemeanor."

Talking on a cell phone while driving is the number one cause of distracted driving, which results in hundreds of thousands of car accidents each year. Most states prohibit drivers from using cell phones, but these laws vary from state-to-state. Some states have laws banning any use of a cell phone while driving where others allow hands-free devices such as Bluetooth or headsets. Hand-Held Ban A hand-held ban refers to talking on a cell phone while holding it in your hands or using any other hand held electronic device such as an MP3 player or GPS. Additionally, drivers are prohibited from using a hand-held cell phone for navigational purposes. Most states allow the use of such devices in emergency situations. GPS Bans Programming a GPS while driving is usually banned in all states where using an electronic handheld device is banned.

"text": "License Restrictions for Failure to Pay Child Support1/30/2014Table of Contents State-by-State License Restrictions About This Project Additional Resources Contact Meghan Mc Cann All 50 states have statutory or administrative provisions that restrict, suspend, or revoke licenses for failure to pay child support. The licenses affected are generally driver's licenses, occupational licenses, professional licenses (such as a law license), and recreational licenses (such as hunting and fishing licenses). Each state imposes its own triggering criteria, meaning the amount of arrears the obligor (the person who owes child support) must owe in order for a license to be suspended; or the amount of time the obligor must be delinquent before suspension occurs. Once the trigger criteria has been met, certain due process procedures are allowed before suspension of a license, including a notice to the obligor that they are delinquent or in arrears, and the opportunity for the obligor to pay the full amount of arrears, come up with a payment plan with the child support enforcement agency, or request a hearing to object the allegations. A handful of states, including California, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming, allow for temporary licenses if suspension would result in undue hardship on the obligor, and in many instances, to allow the obligor to travel to and from work so they can earn money and pay the arrears. States are continuing to make changes during each legislative session, with a number of states easing up on driver's license restrictions in particular in order to allow the obligor to continue working so they can meet their support obligation in the future. To find out more about what a particular state is doing regarding child support enforcement or licensing restrictions, visit the Child Support and Family Law Legislation Database. State-by-State License Restrictions Please type in a state in the box below to be taken directly to the state's statutory information.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Texting while driving leads to increased distraction Texting while driving, also called texting and driving, is the act of composing, sending, reading text messages, email, or making similar use of the web on a mobile phone while operating a motor vehicle. Texting while driving is considered extremely dangerous by many people, including authorities, and in some places have either been outlawed or restricted. A survey of more than 90 teens from more than 26 high schools throughout the United States conducted by Liberty Mutual Insurance Group in 2006 showed that 46% of students consider texting to be either \"\"very\"\" or \"\"extremely\"\" distracting. [ citation needed] An American Automobile Association study showed that 34% of teens (age 16–17) admitted to being distracted behind the wheel because of texting and 40% of American teens say they have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. [ 1] A study involving commercial vehicle operators conducted in September 2009 concluded that though incidence of texting within their dataset was low, texting while driving increased the risk of accident significantly. [ 2]Texting has become a social norm since the early 2000s because of the popularity of smartphones. [ 3] There have been many studies that have linked texting while driving to be the cause of life-threatening accidents due to driver distraction. The International Telecommunication Union states that \"\"texting, making calls, and other interaction with in-vehicle information and communication systems while driving is a serious source of driver distraction and increases the risk of traffic accidents\"\". [ 3] In 2013 the National Safety Council estimated there were about 1.4 million crashes in the US involving cell phone use. Their model predicted text messaging was involved in 6-16% of all car accidents in the US. ["

Many states used your SSN for a long time, glad they changed from that!. What is typical is a set of letters and numbers based off of your name, and birth date. Other information may be included such as the location of where you got the license. Most states use a \"\"check digit\"\" system so that officers, and sellers of alcohol and tobacco can verify the license is valid visually. While many states are going to card-swipe type licenses, machines that read them are still rare, I saw my first one in a local business last week. Because not all officers in all areas will EVER always have an encoding machine, you drivers record is not included on the strip on the back. The information on the strip is either a digital copy of the information on the front, or a code that officers can use to access your drivers history on the state's database, and from there they can indirectly access your criminal record. With the quality and low price of printing supplies, fake licenses are a problem. While many are used for getting into bars, there is a real risk of fraud too. I collect about 500 fakes a year here and some were found to be fake only by luck..:by entering your number they can access the same info that they can get by swiping the card, right?"

By Tanya Kurepina, New Trier High School, and Sierra Lai, Walter Payton High School Like many high school students, Hinsdale Central junior Hanna Suek spends most of her weekend hours with friends. No matter where she ends her night on Friday or Saturday, she usually texts her parents around 11 p.m. and gives them the time and place where she’d like to be picked up. Although Suek is 16 years old — the minimum age you can get a restricted driver’s license in Illinois — she doesn’t have a license and doesn’t plan on getting one anytime soon. She’s not alone. For decades, getting a driver’s license has been considered a rite of passage for teens everywhere. Driving a car—and ditching the parental chauffeurs — equals freedom to some. But for many of today’s teens, wheels can wait. According to several recent studies, many teens are pumping the brakes on getting their driver’s licenses. In one study, AAA found that just 54 percent of teens are licensed before they turn 18."

Seven states—Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Missouri, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Virginia—prohibit drivers from consuming alcohol while operating a motor vehicle, but the laws do not extend to passengers in the motor vehicle. Mississippi and the Virgin Islands do not have statutes regulating the consumption or possession of alcohol in motor vehicles. Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia have statutes that allow patrons to remove partially consumed bottles of wine from restaurants through state statutes.

Quinn & Associates, Ltd. can help. In Illinois, drivers who have had their driving privileges revoked or suspended can obtain a Restricted Driving Permit. If losing your license results in you suffering hardship then you should apply for a restricted driving permit (RDP). Hearings for IL Hardship Licenses The process of obtaining an Illinois hardship driver’s license requires a few steps. You must be over the age of 18 and will be required to attend a hearing where you must demonstrate your eligibility and argue your case. Furthermore, you must prove that the suspension or revocation of your license constitutes a hardship. Examples include proof from your place of employment stating that you require your vehicle to do your job or proof that you need your vehicle as transportation to your place of employment and you have no other methods of transportation. If you are a caretaker of a family member, and you need to provide them with transportation for proper medical care, you may also be eligible for an IL hardship license. Lastly, if you need an Illinois hardship driver’s license to attend classes at an accredited college or university, one may be granted to you. In addition, you may be required to bring evidence of your participation in some form of alcohol rehabilitative activity, such as counseling or group meetings."

Right to keep and bear arms in the U. S. Sullivan Act (New York)Suppressor Tiahrt Amendment Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act United States portalv t e Concealed carry or carrying a concealed weapon ( CCW ), is the practice of carrying a weapon (such as a handgun) in public in a concealed manner, either on one's person or in close proximity. Not all weapons that fall under CCW laws are lethal. For example, in Florida, carrying pepper spray in more than a specified volume (2 oz.) of chemical requires a CCW permit, whereas anyone may legally carry a smaller, “self-defense chemical spray” device hidden on their person without a CCW permit. [ 1] [2] As of 2017 there have been 16.3 million concealed weapon permits issued in the United States. [ 3]There is no federal statutory law concerning the issuance of concealed-carry permits. All fifty states have passed laws allowing qualified individuals to carry certain concealed firearms in public, either without a permit or after obtaining a permit from a designated government authority at the state and/or local level. A comprehensive 2004 literature review by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that there was no evidence that concealed carry either increases or reduces violent crime; some individual studies suggest that CCW reduces violent crime; others suggest that it increases violent crime.

You specifically wanted to know if a permit is required to buy ammunition in any state. SUMMARYFederal law imposes several restrictions on the transfer and possession of firearm ammunition. The law prohibits the possession of ammunition by convicted felons, controlled substance users, and anyone subject to a domestic violence restraining order, among others, and it prohibits transferring ammunition to such persons as well. It prohibits the sale or transfer of (1) long gun ammunition to anyone under age 18 and (2) handgun ammunition to anyone under age 21. It also strictly regulates armor-piercing handgun bullets. Some states restrict or regulate ammunition purchase and possession. Delaware and Illinois, bar some of the same groups barred by federal law from receiving or possessing ammunition. Iowa prohibits people below a certain age from receiving or possessing ammunition. Both Illinois and Massachusetts require people to display a firearm identification card when purchasing ammunition."

Another common phrase connected to this bright flower is: \"\"Fresh as a daisy\"\". The cliche underscores the theme of cleanliness are purity. It's not just the secular world that has adopted the daisy as a symbol of innocence. We see that message repeated in Christianity, where the daisy is a sacred symbol of Virgin Mary signifying her chastity, grace and purity. The daisy has also been employed as a symbol to represent the Christ child."

Today’s report is for Bob from Oz, who asked for it long ago and has been more than patient. As we consider this operation, we must acknowledge that BB guns come in many different styles, and they don’t all come apart the same way. Therefore, this report will deal with those Daisy guns made from around 1915 to around 1970, which includes a large segment of what’s on the used market today. Older and newer guns may vary a little or a lot from the ones shown with this procedure, and there are models within the same timeframe that vary because of their unique design. Also, non-Daisy guns may sometimes vary. However, fundamentally, most inexpensive BB guns are designed and assembled in pretty much the same way. If slight differences are encountered, it should be easy to adjust your methods to accommodate them. You will soon see that rather than a report on just how to disassemble BB guns, this is more a report on how to build a disassembly machine, because that’s what it takes to do the job."

Immorality, superficiality and bad behavior are all characteristics of the upper classes in the novel yet the aspiration to be upper class - to have everything and have fun too - is not directly questioned by the characters in the novel (with the partial exception of Nick). It may be helpful here to note that the novel was written as a satire, loosely based on the Roman satirical figure Trimalchio, a man who dresses up to be rich. Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the form of a satire, a criticism of society's foibles through humor. The elements of satire in the book include the depiction of the nouveau riche (“newly rich”), the sense of vulgarity of the people, the parties intended to draw Daisy over, the grotesque quality of the name “Great” Gatsby in the title. ( e Notes)Jay Gatsby in particular can be seen as a representative of the corruption of the American Dream. As a young man he believed in the commonly held views that \"\"character\"\" was essential for success. We can see this clearly in the notebook that he kept as a young man, filled with self-improvement plans, most of which focus on building \"\"good character\"\". Gatsby’s day began at an early 6:00 for exercise, study, work, sports, elocution, and poise as well as general resolves such as “saving $3.00 per week”. The irony, of course, is that Gatsby grows up to be a criminal."

While Daisy shows a woman’s insincerity and obsession with wealth, Myrtle reflects the shallow qualities of women by throwing herself at upper class men and whining for materialistic goods. Jordan shows a woman’s accepted dishonesty in the 1920’s. Through these women, we are able to stereotype and generalize the primary traits of women in the time period.

"text": "\"Unearthing an Inner Meaning in the Final Lines of The Great Gatsby In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there is a distinct development of emotions and symbols, and one of the key vehicles for illustrating this change is the final line of each chapter. Hidden within each final sentence lies an inner message that either pulls together a major theme in the chapter leading up to the sentence, or is a harbinger of the coming chapters. Beginning with the final word in chapter one, “darkness” (21), and concluding with the novel’s final word, “past” (180), Fitzgerald uses simple closing words to represent a deeper, continuous meaning that pervades the book. By doing this, Fitzgerald is able to outline major themes in the novel, including facial expressions, honesty, and balance. Most clearly and powerfully, however, the outline of lightness through positive imagery and darkness through negative imagery is presented in the final lines of each chapter. By grouping the chapters by hopefulness shown in their respective final lines, a trend is apparent. In chapters one through three, the final lines provide a dark, sullen preview for the chapters to come, while chapter four provides a transition into the final lines of chapters five and six, which signify a brief sense of giddiness that begins to darken. Finally, the last lines of chapters seven through nine mark the development and completion of the violent “holocaust” (162). Supplying a preview at the end of chapter one as to the violence to occur later in the novel, Nick says he is “alone again in the unquiet darkness” (21). By stating the word “darkness” at the end of the first chapter, Fitzgerald can ultimately emphasize the fact that eventually, the plot will take a cold, deep, serious turn for the worse."

Scott Fitzgerald Buy Study Guide The Great Gatsby Summary and Analysis of Chapter 8Chapter Eight That night, Nick finds himself unable to sleep, since the terrible events of the day have greatly unsettled him. Wracked by anxiety, he hurries to Gatsby's mansion shortly before dawn. He advises Gatsby to leave Long Island until the scandal of Myrtle's death has quieted down. Gatsby refuses, as he cannot bring himself to leave Daisy: he tells Nick that he spent the entire night in front of the Buchanans' mansion, just to ensure that Daisy was safe. He tells Nick that Tom did not try to harm her, and that Daisy did not come out to meet him, though he was standing on her lawn in full moonlight. Gatsby, in his misery, tells Nick the story of his first meeting with Daisy. He does so even though it patently gives the lie to his earlier account of his past. Gatsby and Daisy first met in Louisville in 1917; Gatsby was instantly smitten with her wealth, her beauty, and her youthful innocence. Realizing that Daisy would spurn him if she knew of his poverty, Gatsby determined to lie to her about his past and his circumstances. Before he left for the war, Daisy promised to wait for him; the two then slept together, as though to seal their pact."

"text": "Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. The Decline of the American Dream in the 1920s On the surface, The Great Gatsby is a story of the thwarted love between a man and a woman. The main theme of the novel, however, encompasses a much larger, less romantic scope. Though all of its action takes place over a mere few months during the summer of 1922 and is set in a circumscribed geographical area in the vicinity of Long Island, New York, The Great Gatsby is a highly symbolic meditation on 1920s America as a whole, in particular the disintegration of the American dream in an era of unprecedented prosperity and material excess. Fitzgerald portrays the 1920s as an era of decayed social and moral values, evidenced in its overarching cynicism, greed, and empty pursuit of pleasure. The reckless jubilance that led to decadent parties and wild jazz music—epitomized in The Great Gatsby by the opulent parties that Gatsby throws every Saturday night—resulted ultimately in the corruption of the American dream, as the unrestrained desire for money and pleasure surpassed more noble goals. When World War I ended in 1918, the generation of young Americans who had fought the war became intensely disillusioned, as the brutal carnage that they had just faced made the Victorian social morality of early-twentieth-century America seem like stuffy, empty hypocrisy. The dizzying rise of the stock market in the aftermath of the war led to a sudden, sustained increase in the national wealth and a newfound materialism, as people began to spend and consume at unprecedented levels. A person from any social background could, potentially, make a fortune, but the American aristocracy—families with old wealth—scorned the newly rich industrialists and speculators. Additionally, the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919, which banned the sale of alcohol, created a thriving underworld designed to satisfy the massive demand for bootleg liquor among rich and poor alike."

All of us do various activities with our shoulder and these activities include raising our hand and also using our hands. Almost all the activities of our hands have a relation with the shoulder because the shoulder also moves when we use the hand. In fact the shoulder is the joint that is very important in the upper limb. The muscles and the tendons in the shoulder together form the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff can also be frequently damaged because of frequently moving the shoulder in all activities. Anyone who has pain in the shoulder would like to know what does a torn rotator cuff feel like. This will help to identify a rotator cuff injury or differentiate the injury. The first thing is that the rotator cuff injury causes severe pain in the shoulder when the person tries to do any movement of the shoulder. The reason for this is that the tissues inside the joint are injured and any movement of the joint will cause these tissues to be further stretched causing the sudden increase in the pain."

The two most common types of shoulder surgery include open and arthroscopic surgery. In the worst cases, a total shoulder replacement may even be necessary. This may be the only treatment available for severe arthritis, for example. When the injury is minor and is considered to be a partial tear, then the doctor will more than likely require arthroscopic surgery. On the other hand, if there’s a severe tear to the ligament, then an invasive-type surgery will be required."

The rotator cuff is a combination of muscles and tendons that link your upper arm bone, the humerus, to your shoulder blades. The rotator cuff also holds your upper arm bone in place in your shoulder socket. The four muscles of the rotator cuff are the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, the teres minor and the subscapularis. Each muscle is connected to the arm bone by a tendon. Rotator cuff repair is the surgery used to repair a tear in one of these tendons. Symptoms Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Injuries People of all ages injure their rotator cuffs. Some are good candidates for surgery, while others will pursue different treatments. You can injure your rotator cuff through wear and tear or poor movement patterns over time.

According to the study's authors, follow-ups of 167 shoulders treated show that \"\"conservative treatment should be considered as the primary treatment for this condition. \"\" The research, published in the January issue of Bone and Joint Journal (abstract only available for free), was built around treatment of 173 patients aged 55 and older (mean age 65) with supraspinatus tendon tears. Patients were assigned to 3 groups: the first group received physical therapy only; the second group received acromioplasty and physical therapy; and the third group was treated with rotator cuff repair, acromioplasty, and physical therapy. Each group contained similar age ranges and equal distribution by sex. After exclusions and drop-outs, 167 shoulders were available for assessment. Components of the physical therapy treatment remained the same across groups: patients were given guidance and information on home exercise that focused on glenohumeral motion and active scapular retraction for the first 6 weeks, with increases during the next 6 weeks, followed up by increased strength and resistance training for up to 6 months. Participants were also referred for 10 physical therapy sessions in an outpatient clinic. When patients were assessed using the Constant score at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year, researchers found substantial similarity in rates of improvement. \"\" Contrary to our hypothesis, surgical repair of a supraspinatus tear does not improve the Constant score when compared with acromioplasty only or conservative treatment,\"\" the authors write."

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that come together as tendons to form a \"\"cuff\"\" over the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). The four muscles—supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor—originate from the scapula (shoulder blade). The rotator cuff tendons attach to the head of the humerus in special spots referred to as the greater and lesser tuberosities. The rotator cuff helps to lift and rotate the arm and to stabilize the ball of the shoulder within the joint. What causes a rotator cuff tear and how would I know if I have one? A rotator cuff tear may result from an acute injury, such as a fall, or may be caused by normal age-related wear and tear with degeneration of the tendon. Typically, you will feel pain in the front of your shoulder that radiates down the side of your arm. It may be present with overhead activities such as lifting or reaching. You may feel pain when you try to sleep on the affected side."

It is generally understood by doctors and surgeons, that surgery will introduce more scar tissue into your shoulder soft tissues. This added scar tissue will be problematic, requiring physical therapy and conservative treatment options post-surgery. If not dealt with properly, your shoulder could end up in worse condition than before the surgery! This is why surgery is only performed as a last resort for chronic conditions or severe rotator cuff injury. Rotator cuff surgery is generally not considered until all conservative treatment options have been exhausted. Or there is a complete tear in one or more of the muscles comprising of the rotator cuff. Unless it is a highly severe or complete tear, doctors, orthopedic specialists and physical therapists will advise that you try at least 6 or more months of conservative therapy with no sign of improvement before surgery will even be considered.

"text": "Subacromial Smoothing and Acromioplasty for Rotator Cuff Disorders Surgery Overview Surgery may be used to treat a rotator cuff disorder if the injury is very bad or if nonsurgical treatment has failed to improve shoulder strength and movement sufficiently. Subacromial smoothing involves shaving bone or removing growths on the upper point of the shoulder blade ( acromion ). It removes damaged tendon and bursa from the joint. The surgeon may also remove small amounts of bone from the underside of the acromion and the acromioclavicular joint (acromioplasty). The goal is to take away roughness while keeping as much of the normal supporting structures as possible. This surgery creates more room in the subacromial space. With more space, the rotator cuff tendon is not pinched or irritated and can glide smoothly beneath the acromion. Subacromial smoothing, acromioplasty, and rotator cuff repair may be done using arthroscopic surgery or open surgery. Open-shoulder surgery involves making a larger incision in the shoulder, to open it and directly view the repair. Arthroscopy uses a thin viewing scope called an arthroscope that is inserted into a joint through a small incision in the skin."

"text": "\"What Is the Recovery Time From Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery?by ROBIN HEWITT April 21, 2015Overview Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is typically performed on rotator cuff injuries such as tendinitis and tears, some of which may be major -- the tendon has torn totally from the bone. While minimally invasive as compared to traditional shoulder surgery, the recovery time is the similar for both procedures. Specific recovery times depend on your doctor's instructions following surgery. Immobilization After arthroscopic shoulder surgery, your arm will immobilized in a sling for 2 to 4 weeks, with movement restricted to your elbow and wrist. You may be able to dangle your arm and use your body to swing the arm back and forth -- an exercise called \"\"pendulums.\"\" Active movement of your shoulder during this period could damage your repaired tendons. Passive Movement One week after arthroscopic shoulder surgery, you will likely begin physical therapy. Your therapist will perform passive shoulder exercises, moving your arm while you are lying down. These exercises help prevent your shoulder joint from tightening while your tendons heal. Passive exercises are typically performed for 4 weeks, depending on your surgeon's instructions."

"text": "Data analysts perform a variety of tasks related to collecting, organizing, and interpreting statistical information. The precise nature of the job varies somewhat from profession to profession, as an analyst working for a hospital would necessarily focus on different things than would someone working for a department store or a supermarket chain. In any capacity, though, people with this job look for ways of assigning numerical values to different business functions, and are responsible for identifying efficiencies, problem areas, and possible improvements. Information Compilation One of the most important things any data analyst does is collect, sort, and study different sets of information. This can look really different in different settings, but is usually related to nailing down a fixed value to some process or function so that it can be assessed and compared over time. A grocery store might want an analyst to collect all the hours that certain employees work along with profit margins for certain days, weeks, or even hours, for instance; an Internet business might want to see hard numbers on where customers are coming from, how much they are spending on purchases, and whether deals like free shipping have any bearing on overall profits. Ad There are several different strategies people can use to compile data, but there are typically three universal goals. The data must be regulated, normalized, and calibrated such that it could be taken out of context, used alone, or put in conjunction with other figures and still maintain its integrity. Analysts typically use computer systems and complex calculation applications to get their numbers nailed down, but there is still a lot of intellectual know-how that goes into making these systems work. Extrapolation and Interpretation Once the information has been collected, analysts are usually responsible for coming up with some conclusions about what it means, as well as educating business executives on how to use it."

More specifically, a financial analyst researches macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions along with company fundamentals to make predictions about businesses, sectors and industries. They also often recommend a course of action, such as to buy or sell a company's stock based upon its overall performance and outlook. An analyst must be aware of current developments in the field in which he or she specializes as well as in preparing financial models to predict future economic conditions for any number of variables. Not all financial analysts work with the stock or bond markets or help their employers make investments."

Scalability is an attribute that describes the ability of a process, network, software or organization to grow and manage increased demand. A system, business or software that is described as scalable has an advantage because it is more adaptable to the changing needs or demands of its users or clients. Scalability is often a sign of stability and competitiveness, as it means the network, system, software or organization is ready to handle the influx of demand, increased productivity, trends, changing needs and even presence or introduction of new competitors. You may have heard people asking the question, “Is it scalable?” Simply put, if a cloud computing system (i.e. networks, storage, servers, applications and services) can rapidly respond to meet new demands – either in size or volume – it is scalable. Traditionally, businesses were tied to physical constraints, such as hard-drive space and memory, all of which impeded scalability. With cloud computing, these constrains are replaced by an infrastructure that can scale up or down (typically up) and adapt in harmony with a business’s needs.549 Viewspromoted by Mongo DBMongo DB Atlas: the database as a service for Mongo DB.

The Intelligence Community (IC) budget has remained under pressure and manpower cuts have continued, but bureaucratic politics and legislative prerogatives have perpetuated about a dozen national-level agencies and forced a further division of analytic labor. By the turn of the century, analysis had become dangerously fragmented. The Community could still collect \"\"facts,\"\" but analysts had long ago been overwhelmed by the volume of available information and were no longer able to distinguish consistently between significant facts and background noise. The quality of analysis had become increasingly suspect. And, as had been true of virtually all previous intelligence failures, collection was not the issue. The data were there, but we had failed to recognize fully their significance and put them in context. At a time when the interrelationship among political, economic, military, social, and cultural factors had become increasingly complex, no agency was postured to conduct truly integrated analysis. From the vantage point of 2001, intelligence failure is inevitable. Part I: The Path to Failure Despite our best intentions, the system is sufficiently dysfunctional that intelligence failure is guaranteed."

The dictionary can hold these analytical findings and can also be used to develop cross-references and correlations between data, information and business data and process modeling items. This chapter discusses the functions of a dictionary, how a dictionary is constructed, and the roles of the database administrator and the data administrator in the analytical process. Introduction One of the primary products of the analytical process is documentation. Some large projects produce large amounts of documentation, some of it running into hundreds of pages. Although development methodologies provide some structure to the documentation, even the best methodology and the most meticulous analyst cannot organize, index, and cross-index the information sufficiently to make it entirely useful. There is always the need to see the information differently from the way in which it is presented. Even with the best organization and indexing methods, hardcopy documentation (printed on paper) is difficult to revise and still more difficult to keep up to date. In order to overcome these and other purely mechanical problems involved with producing and maintaining proper documentation, many firms rely on automated dictionaries. These data processing system products are specifically designed to hold, maintain, and organize analytical information; they come equipped with flexible facilities for producing a wide variety of reports on the dictionary contents."

Database designers typically organize the data to model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring information, such as (for example) modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies. A database-management system ( DBMS) is a computer-software application that interacts with end-users, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data. A general-purpose DBMS allows the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. A database is not generally portable across different DBMSs, but different DBMSs can interoperate by using standards such as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a single application to work with more than one DBMS."

Software is the programs that are needed to accomplish the input, processing, output, storage, and control activities of information systems. Computer software is typically classified into two major types of programs: system software and application software. System Software Systems software are programs that manage the resources of the computer system and simplify applications programming. They include software such as the operating system, database management systems, networking software, translators, and software utilities. Application Software Application software are programs that direct the performance of a particular use, or application, of computers to meet the information processing needs of end users. They include A off-the-shelf @ software such as word processing and spreadsheet packages, as well as internally or externally developed software that is designed to meet the specific needs of an organization. Software trends have been away from custom-designed one-of-kind programs developed by the professional programmers or end users of an organization toward the use of A off-the-shelf @ software packages acquired by end users from software vendors.

"text": "July 31, 2011Terminology: Dynamic- vs. fixed-schema databases E. F. “Ted” Codd taught the computing world that databases should have fixed logical schemas (which protect the user from having to know about physical database organization). But he may not have been as universally correct as he thought. Cases I’ve noted in which fixed schemas may be problematic include:“A bunch of apps in one, similar but not the same” (in my recent post on Mongo DB ). Out-of-control product catalogs (ditto). Analytic use cases in which one keeps enhancing the database with derived data. And if marketing profile analysis is ever done correctly, that will be a huge example for the list. So what do we call those DBMS — for example No SQL, object-oriented, or XML-based systems — that bake the schema into the applications or the records themselves? In the Mongo DB post I went with “schemaless,” but I wasn’t really comfortable with that, so I took the discussion to Twitter. Comments from Vlad Didenko (in particular), Ryan Prociuk, Merv Adrian, and Roland Bouman favored the idea that schemas in such systems are changeable or late-bound, rather than entirely absent. I quickly agreed."

A general-purpose DBMS allows the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. A database is not generally portable across different DBMSs, but different DBMSs can interoperate by using standards such as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a single application to work with more than one DBMS."

TDE is the optimal choice for bulk encryption to meet regulatory compliance or corporate data security standards. TDE works at the file level, which is similar to two Windows ® features: the Encrypting File System (EFS) and Bit Locker™ Drive Encryption, the new volume-level encryption introduced in Windows Vista ® , both of which also encrypt data on the hard drive. TDE does not replace cell-level encryption, EFS, or Bit Locker. This white paper compares TDE with these other encryption methods for application developers and database administrators. While this is not a technical, in-depth review of TDE, technical implementations are explored and a familiarity with concepts such as virtual log files and the buffer pool are assumed. The user is assumed to be familiar with cell-level encryption and cryptography in general. Implementing database encryption is covered, but not the rationale for encrypting a database.

Diagram of an example database according to the relational model [3]In the relational model, related records are linked together with a \"\"key\"\". The purpose of the relational model is to provide a declarative method for specifying data and queries: users directly state what information the database contains and what information they want from it, and let the database management system software take care of describing data structures for storing the data and retrieval procedures for answering queries. Most relational databases use the SQL data definition and query language; these systems implement what can be regarded as an engineering approximation to the relational model. A table in an SQL database schema corresponds to a predicate variable; the contents of a table to a relation; key constraints, other constraints, and SQL queries correspond to predicates. However, SQL databases deviate from the relational model in many details, and Codd fiercely argued against deviations that compromise the original principles.

In the world of database technology, there are two main types of databases: SQL and No SQL —or, relational databases and non-relational databases. The difference speaks to how they’re built, the type of information they store, and how they store it. Relational databases are structured, like phone books that store phone numbers and addresses. Non-relational databases are document-oriented and distributed, like file folders that hold everything from a person’s address and phone number to their Facebook likes and online shopping preferences. We call them SQL and No SQL, referring to whether or not they’re written solely in structured query language (SQL). In this article, we’ll explore what SQL is, how it makes these databases different, and how each type structures the data it holds so you can easily determine which type is right for you.

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-decibel-meter.htm\nWhat is a Decibel Meter?",
"text": "A decibel meter is a device which measures sound pressure to determine how intense sounds are, measuring in decibels. Decibels are a logarithmic scale based on the sensitivity of the human ear. Prolonged exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can lead to hearing loss, making measurement of decibel levels important for people who work in noisy environments so that they know when they need to protect their ears. For a frame of reference, normal conversation occurs between around 40 and 60 decibels, depending on who is talking. A firecracker is about 140 decibels, and a jackhammer runs at around 100 decibels. Musicians, mechanics, construction workers, and other people who work in loud environments can endanger their hearing, especially if they work in environments with explosives, which can generate sound waves intense enough to cause pain and immediate hearing damage. A decibel meter can indicate when sound has reached the danger zone. The decibel meter measures the sound pressure and provides a reading in decibels for the convenience of the user. Some may also provide readings in other units of measurement, depending on the uses they are intended for. Decibel meters are often designed to be portable so that people can move them around as needed, and are often hand held, although sometimes they can be part of a permanent instrument array which is designed to take continuous measurements in a given area."

The d B is not a unit in the sense that a metre or a kilogram are well-defined units of distance and weight. A decibel is the relationship or ratio between two sound levels, for example the measured sound pressure level and the minimum sound pressure level a person with good hearing can detect. Why use decibels, why not stick to the real units that are directly measurable? Hopefully the reason will be clear when we understand how sensitive the human ear is. The smallest sound we can hear has a sound power level of about 0.000000000001 watt/sq. metre and the threshold of pain is around 1 watt/sq. metre, which is a range of a million million to 1. So how do you describe these levels and the stages between in meaningful numbers? Enter Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish telephone engineer, who suggested simply converting these enormous numbers into logarithms so the threshold of hearing would be 0 and the threshold of pain would be 12 and call them Bels."

These tests are done using a certification-testing tool, which provide \"\"Pass\"\" or \"\"Fail\"\" information. While certification can be performed by the owner of the network, certification is primarily done by datacom contractors. It is this certification that allows the contractors to warranty their work.

Network owners who want to guarantee that the infrastructure is capable of handling a certain application (e.g. Voice over Internet) will use a tester to certify the network infrastructure. In some cases, these testers are used to pinpoint specific problems. Certification tests are vital if there is a discrepancy between the installer and network owner after an installation has been performed."

It is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone. The diaphragm of the microphone responds to changes in air pressure caused by sound waves. That is why the instrument is sometimes referred to as a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Meter. This movement of the diaphragm, i.e. the sound pressure deviation (pascal Pa), is converted into an electrical signal ( volts V ). A microphone is distinguishable by the voltage value produced when a known, constant sound pressure is applied. This is known as the microphone sensitivity. The instrument needs to know the sensitivity of the particular microphone being used. Using this information, the instrument is able to accurately convert the electrical signal back to a sound pressure, and display the resulting sound pressure level ( decibels d B SPL ). Sound level meters are commonly used in noise pollution studies for the quantification of different kinds of noise, especially for industrial, environmental and aircraft noise."

Being exposed to loud noises for a brief period of time usually does no harm, but imagine having to suffer it hour upon hour, day after day. If noise is a problem to you, the first thing you need to do is measure how loud it is so you can take effective steps to reduce it. Making precise measurements of noise used to be quite a tricky business, but now there are automated, electronic sound-level meters that do the job for you.

The decibel ( d B) is a measure of the ratio between two quantities, and is used in a wide variety of measurements in acoustics, physics and electronics. While originally only used for power and intensity ratios, it has come to be used more generally in engineering. The decibel is widely used in measurements of the loudness of sound. It is a \"\" dimensionless unit \"\" like percent. Decibels are useful because they allow even very large or small ratios to be represented with a conveniently small number (similar to scientific notation ). This is achieved by using a logarithm . Contents [ show]History Edit The bel (symbol B) is mostly used in telecommunication, electronics, and acoustics. Invented by engineers of the Bell Telephone Laboratory to quantify the reduction in audio level over a 1 mile (1.6 km) length of standard telephone cable, it was originally called the transmission unit or TU, but was renamed in 1923 or 1924 in honor of the laboratory 's founder and telecommunications pioneer Alexander Graham Bell . The bel was too large for everyday use, so the decibel (d B), equal to 0.1 bel (B), became more commonly used. The bel is still used to represent noise power levels in hard drive specifications, for instance."

The decibel (symbol: d B) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale. It can be used to express a change in value (e.g., +1 d B or -1 d B) or an absolute value. In the latter case, it expresses the ratio of a value to a reference value; when used in this way, the decibel symbol should be appended with a suffix that indicates the reference value or some other property. For example, if the reference value is 1 volt, then the suffix is \"\" V \"\" (e.g, \"\"20 d BV\"\"), and if the reference value is one milliwatt, then the suffix is \"\" m \"\" (e.g., \"\"20 d Bm\"\"). [ 1]There are two different scales used when expressing a ratio in decibels depending on the nature of the quantities: field, power, and root-power. When expressing power quantities, the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. [ 2] That is, a change in power by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 10 d B change in level. When expressing field quantities, a change in amplitude by a factor of 10 corresponds to a 20 d B change in level. The extra factor of two is due to the logarithm of the quadratic relationship between power and amplitude."

They are amazing little gadgets that pretty much anyone can operate with little aed training and they are popping up all over the place, from schools to churches to health clubs to homes. Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)is an electrical abnormality where the heart stops pumping because the electrical impulses in the heart are out of synch, causing it to quiver instead of beat. I like the analogy of this being like an hysterical person who is screaming and crying and beyond reason - a rude slap in the face shocks them into gaining composure. If VF is treated quickly, the heart can get back to work just fine - if not treated, VF degrades to something called 'asystole' which is generally fatal. Importance of Rapid Response If a VF victim gets his heart pattern restored immediately following a sudden cardiac arrest, he has about a 2/3rds chance of recovery. Every minute that revival is delayed, the chances drop until there is little hope after 10 minutes. CPR is not a means to revival. CPR is a temporary bandaid to keep oxygen flowing to the brain until a way to revive the victim is ready. Not many years ago, that means of revival was only available in hospitals, operated by highly trained medical personnel."

Sudden cardiac arrest usually results from an electrical disturbance in your heart that disrupts its pumping action, stopping blood flow to the rest of your body. Sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart is blocked. However, a heart attack can sometimes trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is a medical emergency. If not treated immediately, it causes sudden cardiac death. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible. Administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), treating with a defibrillator — or even just compressions to the chest — can improve the chances of survival until emergency personnel arrive. Symptoms Sudden cardiac arrest symptoms are immediate and drastic and include: Sudden collapse No pulse No breathing Loss of consciousness Sometimes other signs and symptoms precede sudden cardiac arrest. These may include fatigue, fainting, blackouts, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, palpitations or vomiting."

Automatic External Defibrillators (or AED s) are devices that are applied to the exterior of the chest, usually during sudden cardiac arrest, that automatically detect and, if needed, shock the person's abnormal heart rhythm back to normal. This tutorial does not cover AEDs. Rather, the remainder of this tutorial discusses issues related to Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (or ICD s). ICDs are surgically-implanted devices that always contain a pacemaker (to support slow heart rhythms) but also contain a computer that automatically detects rapid heart rates (usually above levels the heart should achieve normally) and can either pace or shock the heart back to normal rhythm. To do this, all internal (or implantable) defibrillators are made of several pieces. First, there are wires that are installed into the heart through veins that lead from the arms to the heart. Secondly, these wires are then connected to the defibrillator pulse generator that contains the battery, charging circuitry and computer portion of the device. The pulse generator is usually implanted beneath the skin, just above the breast muscle (called the pectoralis muscle) at a location just below the collar bone (clavicle)."

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."

"text": "What is sudden cardiac arrest? Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. It is caused by the immediate loss of electrical heart function, usually from an irregular and rapid quivering of the ventricles (called ventricular fibrillation). Rarely, the abnormal rhythms can resolve on their own. Usually, though, these rhythms degenerate to ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrest in which the heart is quivering) or asystole (cardiac arrest in which the heart stops beating). Early emergency treatment with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or an automated external defibrillator (AED) can help restart a stopped heart and allow return of a normal heartbeat to help prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although SCA is rare in children, it can affect anyone, even those who are physically fit. Each year, SCA claims the lives of over 2,000 children and adolescents in the U. S. and accounts for approximately 3-5 percent of all deaths in children aged 5-19 years. It is also responsible for 10-15 percent of sudden unexpected infant deaths. Risk factors Sudden cardiac arrest occurs more frequently in males than females, and, in children, most commonly occurs between 10-19 years of age."

Related to defibrillation: atrial fibrillation, Defibrillation Threshold Defibrillation Definition Defibrillation is a process in which an electronic device sends an electric shock to the heart to stop an extremely rapid, irregular heartbeat, and restore the normal heart rhythm. Purpose Defibrillation is performed to correct life-threatening fibrillations of the heart, which could result in cardiac arrest. It should be performed immediately after identifying that the patient is experiencing a cardiac emergency, has no pulse, and is unresponsive. Precautions Defibrillation should not be performed on a patient who has a pulse or is alert, as this could cause a lethal heart rhythm disturbance or cardiac arrest. The paddles used in the procedure should not be placed on a woman's breasts or over a pacemaker. Description Fibrillations cause the heart to stop pumping blood, leading to brain damage and/or cardiac arrest. About 10% of the ability to restart the heart is lost with every minute that the heart stays in fibrillation. Death can occur in minutes unless the normal heart rhythm is restored throughdefibrillation. Because immediate defibrillation is crucial to the patient's survival, the American Heart Association has called for the integration of defibrillation into an effective emergency cardiac caresystem."

Amanda Mac Millan April 04, 2017When Don Stenta turned 50 last January, he decided to start working out more and train for a half-marathon. As director of Student Life Recreational Sports for The Ohio State University, Stenta oversees six fitness and recreation centers on campus, and began going for regular runs on the school’s indoor track. One day after a run, Stenta collapsed—and woke up later in the hospital. He’d gone into cardiac arrest on the track, and two quick-thinking student employees had used one of the facility’s automated external defibrillator (AED) devices to restart his heart. They also performed CPR on Stenta until paramedics arrived. Afterward, doctors determined that Stenta had a 95% blockage in his left anterior descending (LAD) artery—often called the “widowmaker” artery because blockages here are almost always fatal. They can also happen without warning. “I’m the kind of person who always carries around 20 extra pounds, and I have a family history of heart problems in old age,” Stenta says. “"

As with basic life support, attention should be paid to the areas of airway, breathing and circulation. In maintaing the latter drugs and cardioversion may be appropriate. This section of GPnotebook provides a summary of aspects of paediatric advanced life support (ALS). The up-to-date guidelines concerning paediatric ALS must be consulted and can be accessed on the UK Resuscitation Council website www.resus.org.uk. Some important changes in the 2010 update of the paediatric ALS guidelines were:adrenaline is given after the third shock for shockable rhythms and then during every alternate cycle (i.e. every 3-5 min during CPR). Adrenaline is still initially given as soon as vascular access is available in the nonshockable side of the algorithm.amiodarone is given after the third shock for shockable rhythms. The dose is repeated after the fifth shock, if still in ventricular fibrillation/pulseless VT (VF/VT).bag-mask ventilation remains the preferred method for achieving airway control and ventilation. If this fails, the laryngeal mask airway (or possibly other supraglottic airway device) is an acceptable alternative for suitably trained providers.once spontaneous circulation has been restored, delivered oxygen should be titrated to limit the risk of hyperoxaemia. CO2 detection (preferably with capnography) is even more strongly encouraged, not only to confirm placement of tracheal tubes but also to aid decision making during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and management of ventilation after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).post-resuscitation care should include consideration of induced hypothermia."

For many people with heart disease, drugs alone will not convert an arrhythmia to a normal heart rhythm. For these people, a procedure called cardioversion or electrical cardioversion may be necessary. Cardioversion is a treatment for heart rhythms that are abnormal ( arrhythmia ). During cardioversion, a special machine is used to send electrical energy to the heart muscle to restore normal rhythm. The procedure restores the normal heart rate and rhythm, allowing the heart to pump more effectively. Cardioversion can be used to treat many types of fast and/or irregular heart rhythms. Most often, it is used to treat atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter."

It emits small electrical pulses to speed up a heart beat that has slowed down. Or it can emit a stronger electrical shock to re-start a heart that has stopped beating (this treatment is called defibrillation). If the heart has stopped, without defibrillation the patient is likely to die within minutes. People with life-threatening arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and those at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA, also called sudden cardiac death) are candidates for this device. An ICD is not a cure for heart disease; it simply minimizes the risk of dying from SCA. How Does It Work? The heart has its own internal electrical system that controls how often it beats (your heartbeat). A problem with this electrical system can cause an arrhythmia."

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."

Today it is not only possible to purchase digital signal processor integrated circuits, but also DSP cards for use in computers. Using these DSP cards it is possible to develop software or just use a PC platform in which to run the DSP card. DSP has many advantages over analogue processing. It is able to provide far better levels of signal processing than is possible with analogue hardware alone. It is able to perform mathematical operations that enable many of the spurious effects of the analogue components to be overcome. In addition to this, it is possible to easily update a digital signal processor by downloading new software. Once a basic DSP card has been developed, it is possible to use this hardware design to operate in several different environments, performing different functions, purely by downloading different software. It is also able to provide functions that would not be possible using analogue techniques. For example a complicated signal such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) which is being used for many transmissions today needs DSP to become viable."

Demodulators have been used since the very first wireless transmissions and continue to be used today with internet modem technology. While modern demodulators are more complex, the act of demodulation has changed very little over the years. A demodulator is a circuit that separates the Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signals from the countless radio waves in our atmosphere and decodes the information from the carrier. A carrier is the signal sent from a source, such as a radio station or, in the case of walkie talkies or CB radios, another radio itself. The demodulator was first used before there were radio stations, back when Morse code was the main form of wireless communication. At that time, it was called a detector. These primitive devices did not need to convert the signals they found into audio signals, but only had to note the presence or absence of a radio wave. Ad The first type of audio signal the demodulator began working with was AM."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Hardware Other - Hardware Do u know what is a Modem? Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A modem (a portmanteau constructed from modulate and demodulate) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded to reproduce the original digital data. Modems can be used over any means of transmitting analog signals, from driven diodes to radio. Experiments have even been performed in the use of modems over the medium of two cans connected by a string. The most familiar example of a modem turns the digital '1s and 0s' of a personal computer into sounds that can be transmitted over the telephone lines of Plain Old Telephone System (POTS), and once received on the other side, converts those sounds back into 1s and 0s. Modems are generally classified by the amount of data they can send in a given time, normally measured in bits per second, or \"\"bps\"\". Far more exotic modems are used by internet users every day, notably cable modems and ADSL modems. In telecommunications, \"\"radio modems\"\" transmit repeating frames of data at very high data rates over microwave radio links. Some microwave modems transmit more than a hundred million bits per second."

Introduction and Circuit Description of the Receiver Board The circuit of a FM wireless remote switch presented here is very easy to build and can be used to toggle a load anywhere within a radial distance of 50 meters. The above system is controlled through a mini transmitter circuit operating at around 100MHz FM waves. The receiver or the controller board which is the main part of the circuit is actually a readymade FM radio kit, suitably modified for the purpose. This circuit may also be retrieved from a cheap Chinese made headphone FM radio set (will cost not more than a dollar). Let’s try to understand its circuit description in details. Since the receiver circuit board is procured readymade, we will just broadly discuss regarding its circuit functioning. Referring to the figure (click to enlarge), we see that the board primarily consists of two main stages."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Computer Networking What does a modem do?3 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The word \"\"modem\"\" is short for \"\"modulator-demodulator\"\" which is essentially what it does. A computer moves data around on parallel wires by applying one or another voltage to each wire (representing 0's and 1's) and the voltage is read at the other end of the wires. This is digital communication. In order for multiple computers to communicate over greater distances, a method was developed to exchange data over a world-wide pre-existing network: the telephone network. Telephone transmissions are analog in nature. Instead of streaming ones and zeroes with varying voltage over multiple parallel wires, signals are sent as analog wave frequencies (sounds) over a single wire. The device that translates voltages into frequencies (digital into analog) and back again is called a modem. ( Actually, a modulator converts digital to analog and a demodulator converts analog to digital.) In order for one computer to exchange data with another via a telephone line, the sending computer must activate its modem and dial the receiving computer. The receiving computer's modem must answer the call, \"\"handshake\"\" to establish communications, and signal its computer to be ready to receive."

In Pulse Position Modulation the amplitude of the pulse is kept constant as in the case of the FM and PWM to avoid noise interference. Unlike the PWM the pulse width is kept constant to achieve constant transmitter power. The modulation is done by varying the position of the pulse from the mean position according to the variations in the amplitude of the modulating signal. The Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) can be actually easily generated from a PWM waveform which has been modulated according to the input signal waveform. The PPM can be demodulated both synchronously and asynchronously. The synchronous demodulation is complex as it requires synchronization of the receiver with the transmitter. When using the asynchronous demodulation technique the quality will be comparatively less, but with an advantage of very simple circuit for demodulation. This article discusses how to demodulate the PPM waves using the simplest possible method. DESCRIPTION: There are different methods for extracting the message signal from a PPM wave synchronously and asynchronously."

Although germanium diodes using the cats whisker or point contact principle illustrated in Fig. 2.2.3 fell into disuse by the late 20th century, a Metal/semiconductor junction is still used in Schottky diodes manufactured using silicon planar technology in place of the cats whisker, and can be manufactured with more reliable characteristics in both discrete component and integrated circuit form to provide the advantages of these early diodes in many modern circuits. Low Junction Potential The metal to silicon junction used in Schottky diodes provides several advantages (and some disadvantages) compared with a PN silicon diode. The P type region of the PN diode is replaced by a metal anode, usually gold, silver, platinum, tungsten, molybdenum or chromium.

The term dates from the first three decades of radio (1886-1916). Unlike modern radio stations which transmit sound (an audio signal) on the radio carrier wave, the first radio transmitters transmitted information by wireless telegraphy, using different length pulses of radio waves to spell out text messages in Morse code. So early radio receivers did not have to extract an audio signal (sound) from the incoming radio signal, but only detect the presence or absence of the radio signal, to produce clicks in the receiver's earphones representing the Morse code symbols. The device that did this was called a detector. A variety of different detector dev, and magnetic detector, were used during the wireless telegraphy era. After sound ( amplitude modulation, AM) transmission began around 1920, the term evolved to mean a demodulator, a nonlinear rectifier (usually a crystal diode or a vacuum tube) which extracted the audio signal from the radio frequency carrier wave. This is its current meaning, although modern detectors usually consist of semiconductor diodes, transistors, or integrated circuits. In a superheterodyne receiver the term is also sometimes used to refer to the mixer, the tube or transistor which converts the incoming radio frequency signal to the intermediate frequency. The mixer is called the first detector, while the demodulator that extracts the audio signal from the intermediate frequency is called the second detector."

By Tony Griffitts A denitrator is a biological filter that removes nitrate (NO 3) from the aquarium. A denitrator filter uses anaerobic bacteria to brake down nitrate into nitrogen gas (N 2 ), which escapes into the atmosphere, the result is nitrate free effluent. Nitrate is toxic to many marine invertebrates even at low levels. The deaths of some of the more delicate marine fishes have also been linked to high nitrate levels in the aquarium. A well designed denitrator can maintain nitrate levels near 0ppm. With low nitrate levels you reduce the frequency and the volume of water you need to change annually. A denitrator drastically reduces the time and money needed to maintain a reef tank."

Thatcher Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-044452236-8/50017-4Publisher Summary Nitrates are an important class of drug for cardiovascular therapy under continuous development. Hybrid nitrates and NO chimeras, respectively, release a non-nitrate drug molecule or contain an ancillary pharmacophore; both approaches are designed to amplify or synergize the therapeutic activity of the nitrate in specific disease indications. Current drug discovery of new nitrate drug classes for indications beyond the vasculature emphasizes the need to better understand nitrate metabolism, bioactivation, and bioactivity. There is an opportunity to increase the selectivity of nitrates for target cells and tissues exploiting different bioactivation apparatus and mechanisms, beyond the serendipitous selectivity of many nitrates for bioactivation in hypoxic tissue. Structural modifications of nitrates can be envisioned that target specific enzymes for bioactivation, for example, those upregulated in cells under pathophysiological conditions. The biological half-life of GTN is in the order of minutes and several NO-NSAID nitrates cannot be detected intact in target tissue or even in plasma, yet contemporary nitrate drugs are often described as releasing NO in a sustained fashion for several hours. This apparent dilemma is resolved if one considers nitrates to provide a sustained source of “NO bioactivity,” certainly of longer duration than that provided by true NO. The biological and clinical data suggest that there are multiple bioactivation pathways accessible to nitrates and multiple sites of action, and also that the mediators of bioactivity include but are not limited to NO itself. INTRODUCTIONTherapeutic agents related to NO include prodrugs that elevate NO levels, scavengers of NO, and inhibitors of endogenous NO synthesis. Beyond these, there are preclinical therapeutic agents that modulate the concentration and actions of nitrogen oxides derived from or related to NO, for example, peroxynitrite (ONOO − ), (inorganic nitrite), and HNO (nitroxyl)."

Nitric oxide is a free radical, i.e., its bonding structure includes an unpaired electron, [4] denoted by a dot in its chemical formula, · N O. Nitric oxide is also a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, a historic class that drew researches which spawned early modern theories of chemical bonding. A particularly important intermediate in the chemical industry, nitric oxide forms in mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, as found in combustion systems such as internal-combustion piston engines, gas turbines, furnaces, and boilers. Likewise, nitric oxide forms naturally along the pathway of lightning in thunderstorms. In mammals, including humans, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule in many physiological and pathological processes. [ 5] Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, raising blood supply and lowering blood pressure. [ 6] Conversely, it helps protect tissues from damage due to low blood supply. [ 6] Also a neurotransmitter, nitric oxide acts in the nitrergic neurons active on smooth muscle, abundant in the gastrointestinal tract and erectile tissue. ["

High Nitrate Dangers Relief of Nitrate Poisoning Removal/Prevention OVERVIEWAlthough much less toxic than ammonia and nitrite; Nitrate (NO3) as a nitrogen compound can also cause stress making a fish’s organs work harder to adjust to their environment, especially at levels higher than 100 ppm in many fish. The increasing stress results in the loss of ability to fight diseases, the ability to heal itself, and the ability to reproduce. It is essential for you, the aquarium (or pond) hobbyist, to maintain a proper environment for your aquatic companions. High nitrate levels are often a sign of poorly maintained aquariums and will cause problems in the long term. How to Reduce Aquarium Nitrates Video As a GENERALIZATION (which is the general consensus among experienced fish keeping sources), I recommend maximum levels UNDER 40-50 ppm for FW (shooting for numbers under 10-30 for more optimum conditions for many inhabitants). 20 ppm or less for Saltwater fish, & under 5 ppm or less for reef aquariums."

IMDUR ® Tablets contain 30 mg, 60 mg, or 120 mg of isosorbide mononitrate in an extended-release formulation. The inactive ingredients are aluminum silicate, colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, paraffin wax, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, and trace amounts of ethanol. The chemical name for ISMN is 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, D-glucitol 5-nitrate; the compound has the following structural formula: ISMN is a white, crystalline, odorless compound which is stable in air and in solution, has a melting point of about 90°C, and an optical rotation of +144° (2% in water, 20°C). Isosorbide mononitrate is freely soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYMechanism of Action The IMDUR product is an oral extended-release formulation of ISMN, the major active metabolite of isosorbide dinitrate; most of the clinical activity of the dinitrate is attributable to the mononitrate. The principal pharmacological action of ISMN and all organic nitrates in general is relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, producing dilatation of peripheral arteries and veins, especially the latter. Dilatation of the veins promotes peripheral pooling of blood and decreases venous return to the heart, thereby reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (preload). Arteriolar relaxation reduces systemic vascular resistance, and systolic arterial pressure and mean arterial pressure (afterload). Dilatation of the coronary arteries also occurs."

"text": "What Does a Dental Hygienist Do? The response to the query, what does a dental hygienist do?, is multifaceted. The dental hygienist job description is indeed quite complex given that any dental hygienist's duty falls into various spheres including pre-procedure care, in-office treatment of dental patients and post-procedure care. During a dental appointment, a hygienist typically removes soft and hard deposits from a patient's teeth; examines the gums and teeth to discern the presence of disease or oral abnormality; and strips the teeth of calculus (tartar), stains and plaque. A dental hygienist often performs as well root planing (a type of periodontal therapy), takes x-rays and applies cavity-deterring agents (fluoride or sealants). In some regions of the US, in certain instances hygienists are permitted to administer anesthetics and perform other tasks generally attributed to a dentist, duties such as filling application, periodontal dressing, suture removal and metal restoration polishing. Although dental hygienists do not themselves diagnose oral disease, one integral dental hygienist duty is to prepare clinical and laboratory diagnostic tests for the dentist to interpret at a later time. A dental hygienist takes on a somewhat academic role as well; he or she educates dental patients on how to establish and maintain suitable oral hygiene, often with the aid of teeth models to give the patient a visual sense. The hygienist should leave the patient with a good understanding of proper brushing habits and the relationship between diet and oral health"

As a kid, I would try to trick my parents into forgetting about scheduled cleanings. But now, as a dentist, I realize that the best way I could have avoided the pain was to have more frequent, not less frequent, teeth cleanings. Counterintuitive? Yes. But the more frequently you go, the less there is to clean, making it less invasive. If you wait too long in between visits, your immune system responds to the buildup on your teeth, making the gums more sensitive to the touch. It’s like pulling a band-aid off of a wound."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Well, I'm somewhere in between the opinion of the dentist there and the hygienist. There are many things hygienists have to learn that they don't use on a daily basis. But then again, when was the last time the dentist up there used his biochem knowledge to prepare a crown. So that's true with pretty much any profession you go in to. You are respected by the patients who see you. But that respect stops if you're not gentle when you do you your work. The same is true for me as I'm a dentist. The money is good for hygienists but the work is repetitive. To the point where the main injury is carpel tunnel syndrome."

Dental hygiene is the area of education and practice that deals with the proper care and maintenance of one's oral cavity, including the gums and teeth. Individuals in this field are referred to as dental hygienists, and responsible for cleaning the oral cavity as well as identifying any ailments or disease that may be present. Additionally, dental hygienists provide education in the proper care and treatment of one's mouth in order to continue cleanliness at home. What Does a Dental Hygienist Do? The dental hygiene profession is an integral part of any dental office or dentistry organization. Dental hygienists are customer-facing and engage directly with patients on a daily basis. They identify issues and remediate problems before they become larger issues. Common types of services a dental hygienist performs include the removal of tartar, plaque, and various stains from a patient’s teeth using a variety of tools and equipment as well as teeth cleanings. A teeth cleaning can range from a deep, intensive cleaning to more topical cleanings followed by a fluoride application."

Gina L | December 16, 2009Have you ever heard the famous Benjamin Franklin quote, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? As workers in a preventive dental care specialty, dental hygienists demonstrate that truth daily. And you can enter the profession with a relatively small down payment – just two years of dental hygienist school tuition. Dental Hygiene Programs In order to become a licensed dental hygienist, you must complete an undergraduate dental hygiene program. There are currently more than 300 entry-level (certificate, associate degree, or bachelor’s degree) programs that are accredited by the Commission of Dental Accreditation (CODA) of the American Dental Association, an accrediting agency recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. Dental hygiene master’s degree and degree completion programs are accredited by CODA as well. An associate degree in dental hygiene requires about 86 credits (about 2,666 total clock hours of instruction) to complete, and a bachelor’s degree requires about 122 credits (about 3,093 total clock hours) to complete. The majority of dental hygiene programs are available in junior and community colleges, though four-year colleges and universities and vocational/technical schools also offer dental hygiene degrees. The Cost of Dental Hygienist School According to the American Dental Association and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association , the average estimated total cost of tuition and fees for an associate degree is $30,155; for a bachelor’s degree, $40,207; and a master’s degree, $23,133."

By Peggy Deland; Updated July 05, 2017Creative Commons image by Herry Lawford Dentistry and dental hygiene are health care professions focused on the care of teeth and gums. Both careers require additional training beyond high school, and both require a state license to legally work. However, dentists and dental hygienists differ significantly in many other areas, such as the length and complexity of training required, the salary they typically receive, the duties they usually perform and the level of authorization they are granted by the state dental board. Dental Hygienist Requirements Dental hygienist training programs usually last for 2 years, although bachelor's and master's degree programs in dental hygiene exist. Most dental hygienists are granted an associate degree when they complete their training in the field. A state-issued license is required to legally work as a dental hygienist. In most states, obtaining a license requires the completion of a dental hygiene training program, a written test and a clinical--or hands-on--test. Dentist Requirements Dentists generally complete a bachelor's degree before entering dental school. The bachelor's degree may be earned in a predental program, although this is not strictly necessary."

"text": "Research principles in dental hygiene education June 24, 2014 June 24, 2014By Amy Molnar, RDH, BSThe need for conducting research within the dental hygiene profession is relatively new in dental hygiene literature. Although research was inherent in the creation of dental hygiene, research was not always a priority for the profession. In fact, dental hygienists have based some practices on anecdotes rather than sound evidence-based research. The belief that something that is successful with one patient will be successful with another patient is a belief of the past. Today, dental hygienists know that preventing and controlling dental disease requires an evidence-based approach, and conducting research provides a scientifically-based standard of care for our patients. RELATED: Advancing dental public health and dental hygiene research Although this evidenced-based approach is becoming more prominent in practice, many dental hygiene programs do not comprehensively educate their students on research principles. Furthermore, a large amount of dental hygienists that graduate begin practicing without knowing about the importance of research to the dental hygiene profession. In order to allow future dental hygienists to interpret current literature and to advance dental public health and the dental hygiene profession itself, dental hygiene programs must incorporate education on basic research principles. Some dental hygiene programs, their students and instructors included, would argue that their program does not allow time for an additional course dedicated to research. This may, in fact, be true in associate degree programs."

Dental hygienists assist dentists and also work with dental assistants. A dental assistant is not the same profession as a dental hygienist. Becoming a dental hygienist requires more training and school than it does to become a dental assistant. Therefore, dental hygienists can perform additional duties that dental assistants cannot. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dental hygienists also help teach patients about proper oral hygiene and preventative care, as well as examining teeth and recording any abnormalities or areas of concern for the dentist to examine further and treat if necessary. Degree Programs Becoming a hygienist requires completion of an accredited dental hygiene program as well as a state license. According to the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA), there are education programs offering associate's (86 credit hours) and bachelor's degrees (122 credit hours).

Published on June 19, 2014Tonya Lanthier Follow Sign in to follow this author As the Founder & CEO of Dental Post.net, your premier online and mobile resource for dental jobs, a big part of my job is to have my finger on the pulse of the dental job market – and it's my duty to share what I know about the past, present and future of an ever-changing market with Dental Post users. When we shared an article earlier this year which claimed that the average salary for a Registered Dental Hygienist in the United States was around $70,000 as of 2012, we received plenty of feedback from real Dental Hygienists around the country – many of them agreeing, and many disagreeing with this statistic. So we decided to launch a nationwide survey of Dental Post users that would provide a bit more information than a single, controversial number. We learned a lot from the answers we received, the most important thing being that the $70,000 number reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook really isn’t too far off…but it should come with an asterisk next to it. While many Dental Hygienists do indeed make $70,000 per year (or more! ), those who do tend to have many years of experience AND have spent an average of 6 years working for their current employer. $70,000 is also a much more realistic number for Hygienists who work full-time hours for a single employer; the average annual salary for part-time Dental Hygienists is closer to $30,000. This is important to note, since more and more dental professionals are taking part-time roles (whether it's because they prefer the lifestyle or because practices prefer to hire part- vs. full-time employees is a different story). Additionally, we learned that Dental Hygienists who are new to the field (defined as respondents with less than 3 years experience) tend to job-hop far more than their more experienced coworkers."

Tooth sensitivity after dental treatment is very common, but nonetheless irritating. Why would a tooth hurt after it has just been restored? Has something gone wrong? What do I do? These are common questions with simple and complex answers. Why would a tooth hurt after a filling? After the completion of a filling, teeth may be hot, cold, or pressure sensitive, which is completely normal and known as pulpitis. Anytime a tooth undergoes the trauma of being drilled and restored, the nerve can become agitated and produce sensitivity that can last for days to weeks. The risk of sensitivity is even greater if the decay in the tooth was deep and close to the nerve."

"text": "\"Pediatric Dentistry A Blog Dedicated to Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics And Especially the Friends and Patients of Alabama Pediatric Dental Associates and Orthodontics Tuesday, September 12, 2006What is a Pulpotomy? A pulpotomy is when the inflamed pulp chamber, usually on a baby molar, is removed, the area is sterilized, and the chamber is sealed. It is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal, but it's not really a root canal and it can be done is some cases in permanent teeth. It is a very common procedure in children and has a reasonably good prognosis of success. It's also fairly easy to do in conjunction with associated procedures. When a cavity gets really deep, close to the pulp of a tooth or even into the pulp, the pulpal tissue becomes irritated and inflamed. This is usually the \"\"tooth ache\"\" you feel. If the inflammation and infection continues without treatment, the tooth will likely eventually abscess. In baby molars, a pulpotomy is used in the process of trying to save and restore the tooth. First, the decay is removed, and then the pulp chamber (the top part, not the root canals) is removed usually with a high-speed bur or spoon excavator."

"text": "Health Dental Q: How Do You Get Rid of a Numb Mouth After a Dentist Appointment? A: Quick Answer Numbness following a dental procedure in which an anesthetic is used dissipates on its own within five hours, according to Jonathan Campbell, D. D. S. for Legacy Dental. Engaging in an activity, such as walking, helps the numbness go away sooner. The dentist can also inject Oraverse to reverse the effects of the anesthetic once the procedure is over. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is Tooth Bonding? What Should You Do If a Tooth Filling Falls Out? What Are the Main Steps of a Front Tooth Extraction Procedure? Credit: DAJ amana image Getty Images Full Answer Dr. Campbell explains that a person's blood carries the anesthetic away from the site of the injection so it can be broken down or metabolized. This process takes several hours. Activity hastens this process, so if the dentist approves, the patient can walk or exercise to help the body overcome the effects of the anesthetic."

"text": "\"Simple Extraction: $75-$200 per tooth Single Impacted Tooth: $225-$600 Four Impacted Wisdom Teeth: $1,000-$3,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (49)Also called third molars, wisdom teeth are the third and last set of teeth to appear in a person's mouth, usually between ages 17 and 25. There are typically four wisdom teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. Teeth that come in at an angle or fail to erupt through the gums are called impacted, and may need to be extracted. Many dentists do relatively straightforward extractions but may refer the removal of an impacted tooth to a specialist called an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Typical costs: A simple wisdom tooth extraction (where the tooth is fully erupted from the gums and has simple roots) using a local anesthetic costs about $75-$200 per tooth, or $300-$800 to have all four wisdom teeth removed as simple, non-surgical extractions. For an impacted tooth, extraction using a local anesthetic can cost $225-$600 per tooth. The use of nitrous oxide to relax the patient typically adds $40-$90; or general anesthetic can add $250-$800 to the total cost. The type of impaction affects the price. Typically, a soft tissue impaction (the tooth is partially erupted through the gum) is the least expensive impaction to remove; a partial bony impaction (some of the tooth that should be above the gum line is encased in the jawbone) is typically more expensive; and a full bony impaction (the wisdom tooth is totally encased in the jawbone) costs the most to extract. Dental insurance might cover 15%-50% of wisdom tooth removal if the procedure is considered medically necessary, and some dental plans only pay an annual maximum of $1,000-$1,500."

Dry socket pain is often accompanied by bad breath and a foul taste in the mouth. With this onset of pain, it is obvious that proper healing has been interrupted. Dry socket is a condition in which there is inflammation of the jawbone (or alveolar bone) after a tooth extraction. It is also referred to as \"\"alveolar osteitis\"\" and is one of the many complications that can occur from a tooth extraction. The occurrence of dry socket is relatively rare, occurring in about 2% of tooth extractions. However, that percentage rises to at least 20% when it involves the removal of mandibular impacted third molars (lower wisdom teeth ).

Most of the cholesterol in our bloodstream (75%) is produced by the liver, and the remaining 25% comes from the foods we eat. We all know that elevated blood cholesterol levels are not good for your health, but the right levels of cholesterol actually play a vital role in maintaining cell membranes and synthesizing hormones. The Centers for Disease Control reports that one-third of adults have high cholesterol levels. High Cholesterol Symptoms Usually, high cholesterol does not produce any symptoms and you may not know your blood cholesterol is too high. Too much cholesterol can build up in your arteries, causing atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This restricts blood flow through the arteries and can lead to serious medical problems such as heart attack or stroke. Cholesterol Testing The American Heart Association recommends all adults over age 20 should have their cholesterol levels checked every four to six years.

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": "\"Heart Health High Cholesterol Nutrition Best Cooking Oils for High Cholesterol When It Comes to Fat, the Numbers Speak for Themselves By Ellen Slotkin, RD, LDNUpdated February 22, 2018Share Pin Email Print Noel Hendrickson/Digital Vision/Getty Images If searching for a cooking oil suitable for a low-cholesterol diet, don't assume that cold-pressed virgin olive oil is your only option. While olive oil is well-known to be heart healthy, there are others that are equally beneficial and may be even more appropriate for certain foods or food preparations. Beneficial Oils The rule of thumb is simple: diets high in omega-3 fats and monounsaturated fat can help lower your \"\"bad\"\" LDL cholesterol and raise your \"\"good\"\" HDL cholesterol. You will find these properties in avocado, canola, flaxseed, olive, peanut, sunflower and walnut oils. In addition to lowering LDL cholesterol, omega-3 and monounsaturated fats contain antioxidants which help reduce inflammation and prevent the formation of arterial plaque. It is important to note that omega-3 fats are considered an essential nutrient, meaning that you can only obtain them from the foods or supplements you consume. They are found in many types of food but most prominently in fish and seafood. Because they aren't synthesized by the body like other fats, you need to actively search them out in order to ensure you have ample quantities in your diet. Comparing Benefits Olive oil is widely considered to be the healthiest of all oils, especially extra-virgin varieties which are not overly processed. However, despite having no cholesterol and plenty of polyunsaturated fat help raise HDL levels, it does have its shortcomings."

It’s carried through your bloodstream by carriers made of fat (lipid) and proteins. These are called – no big surprise – lipoproteins. Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol to and from cells. One is low-density lipoprotein, or LDL. The other is high-density lipoprotein, or HDL. The amount of each type of cholesterol in your blood can be measured by a blood test. LDL (Bad) Cholesterol LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol. Think of it as less desirable or even lousy cholesterol, because it contributes to fatty buildups in arteries ( atherosclerosis ).

"text": "Understanding Cholesterol Levels Blood cholesterol levels are measured with a blood test known as a lipid profile. A Look at the Numbers To understand the risk that cholesterol poses to your health it is important to know your numbers – especially the amount of the bad cholesterol (LDL-C) in your blood. If you have other heath conditions, like high blood pressure or diabetes, you have an increased chance of developing heart and vascular disease (also called cardiovascular disease), and even more reason to pay close attention to your cholesterol levels and understand what they mean. 1In the UK, cholesterol and triglycerides are measured in units called millimoles per litre of blood, usually shortened to mmol/L. Your lipid profile will include numbers for total cholesterol (the amount of all the fats in your blood) as well as numbers for LDL-C (the bad cholesterol), HDL-C (the good one) and triglycerides. Here are a few suggested targets from the National Health Service (NHS) 2: A total cholesterol of 5 mmol/L or less is considered healthy for most people. In the UK around 50% of adults have cholesterol levels above 5 mmol/L. 2NHS Desirable Total Cholesterol Levels 2<5mmol/L For healthy adults<4mmol/L For people at high risk of cardiovascular disease (if you have other conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or have experienced a cardiovascular event that increases your risk)For most adults an LDL-C level of below 3 mmol/L is considered healthy. If you have other health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes or you have already had a cardiovascular event it is recommended that your LDL-C target is less than 2 mmol/L. NHS Desirable LDL-C Levels 2<3 mmol/L For healthy adults<2 mmol/L For people at high risk (if you have other conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or have experienced a cardiovascular event that increases your risk)Triglycerides and HDL are also part of your total cholesterol count and recommended levels can often be reached through diet and exercise.

Aging is a part of life that everyone has to deal with and sometimes, dependent on the lifestyle of an individual, the aging process can take a toll on the body and its basic functionality. Another factor of aging is the gradual decrease in the body’s secretion of growth hormone and testosterone (in both men and women); and both play a large part in the daily maintenance of cellular restoration. Testosterone and HGH therapy are methods for helping people achieve the goals of health and wellness by restoring the body’s cellular infrastructure, increasing metabolism in the cells so that they reproduce and rejuvenate nearly every bodily function.

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": "Health Heart Health How to Increase 'Good' HDL Cholesterol How to Increase ‘Good’ HDL Cholesterol116 8 1497It’s a very common misconception that cholesterol is generally bad and high levels are always cause for serious concern. But what if I told you that there is a type of cholesterol that’s not only good at higher levels, but also decreases your risk of major health issues like heart disease? I have great news: This type of cholesterol really does exist. It’s called HDL cholesterol, and it’s our “good” cholesterol. So if there is a cholesterol that is actually good for us, how can we naturally increase its levels? The short answer is lifestyle. Your lifestyle actually has the single greatest impact on your HDL cholesterol level. So making changes to daily and completely controllable habits like diet and exercise can equate to healthier HDL cholesterol levels, which can lower your risk for life-threatening health issues. Let’s get started on improving those HDL cholesterol numbers because positive change can literally start today!Natural Ways to Increase HDL Cholesterol Your genes do play a role in determining how much HDL your body makes and the proportion of different subtypes. Your genes are obviously already decided for you and out of your control, but your lifestyle choices are in your control."

"text": "Seahorses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)Posted on 05/10/2014Seahorses are magnificent fishes that exhibit the phenomenon of male pregnancy. Pregnancy in males is unique to seahorses in the entire animal kingdom, thus, making them a true biological marvel. This exclusive behavior was discussed in detail in my research article titled “ Seahorse – Male Endurance – Roles Swapped!! ” Here, in this new research paper / article, I shall explore the use of seahorses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Seahorses are globally exploited for use as aquarium fishes, curios (articles or objects of curiosity), medicines, and even foods. Use of Seahorses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was first mentioned in the book named “ Bencao Shiyi ” (Supplement to Materia Medica), written by Chen Cangqi around 720 A. D. Seahorses are used in the treatment of a wide range of health problems under the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a complementary and alternative system of medicine (CAM). You can refer to my article – “ The Basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ” to learn the fundamentals of TCM. Seahorses are employed in the treatment of sexual weakness, reduced sexual desire or drive (reduced libido; libido means sexual desire or sex drive), and are considered as broad-spectrum or general tonics. The practitioners of TCM claim that seahorses strengthen “kidneys” and improve “nerves”, which in the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine points to general morale, well-being, and vigor. “ kidneys” also imply sexual function in the context of TCM."

"text": "LDL Cholesterol – The “Bad” Cholesterol Explained Blood levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) are often assessed when evaluating the risk of future heart disease. Cholesterol is a fat substance. Fats are insoluble in water and can therefore not be transported in blood on its own. The body’s solution to this problem is to bind cholesterol to certain proteins that function as transport vehicles carrying different types of fats such as cholesterol, triglycerides (TG) and phospholipids. These combinations of fats and protein are termed lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the body’s lipoproteins and an important carrier of cholesterol. The amount of cholesterol carried by different lipoproteins can provide valuable information about the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). LDL-C reflects the amount of cholesterol carried by LDL. LDL-C is an important marker for the risk of developing heart disease. Many studies have shown a strong and graded correlation between LDL-C and the risk of CVD, both in women and men."

When blood flow through the coronary arteries is blocked by plaques or blood clots, part of the heart muscle loses its source of oxygen and dies. The worse the damage, the lower the chances of survival. In Western countries, artery blockages are common, even in asymptomatic young adults. A review of post-mortem examinations of American soldiers killed in the Korean War at an average age of just 23 years, showed that artery blockages were already present in 77 percent of the men. Their Asian counterparts were much less likely to have atherosclerosis, probably due to differences in diet. 1,2Artery blockages can be treated surgically, using either angioplasty to destroy the plaque or a coronary artery bypass graft, in which arteries or veins from another part of the body are transplanted onto the heart to route blood around the blockage. Both are usually only temporary or palliative measures, however, since blockages progress in the newly opened vessels. A second bypass is usually necessary after six to eight years."

"text": "Facebook Blood tests for liver function Some of the standard or routine blood tests that your doctor will order to check “liver function” are in reality only able to detect liver damage. These tests may not be sensitive enough to accurately reflect whether your liver is functioning at its optimum level. These tests will usually be abnormal in significant liver disease or liver distress; however, they can still give normal readings in some cases of mild liver disease. This is why imaging tests of the liver and gallbladder, such as ultrasound scans or CAT scans or MRI scans are important. These imaging tests can determine the degree of liver disease and if there are any tumours, cysts, gallstones or fatty accumulations which change the texture of the liver. Thankfully it is often possible to return abnormal liver function tests to normal with our dietary program. A routine blood test for liver function will be processed by an automated multi-channel analyser, and will check the blood levels of the following: Total Bilirubin The normal range is 0 to 20 umol/L or 0.174 to 1.04 mg/d L. This test measures the amount of bile pigment in the blood. If blood levels of bilirubin become very elevated, the patient may have a yellow colour to the skin and eyes and this is known as jaundice. Liver Enzymes AST (aspartate aminotransferase), which was previously called SGOT, can also be elevated in heart and muscle diseases and is not liver specific. The normal range of AST is 0 to 45 U/LALT (alanine aminotransferase), which was previously called SGPT, is more specific for liver damage."

SEE KHAN ACADEMYHow do the heart and lungs work together to pick up and deliver oxygen to the cells? Heart pumps blood to the lungs to release carbon dioxide and then oxygenate the blood. It is then pumped to the rest of the body What is the pathway that blood takes as it passes through the heart? SEE KHAN ACADEMYWhat is the function of valves in the heart? To stop blood from flowing back into the chamber and flowing in the right direction How does the structure of arteries and veins relate to their functions? Arteries - transports oxygenated blood from the heart (except in pulmonary artery which contains deoxygenated blood). Arteries have: -thick muscular wall -much elastic tissue -small lumen relative to diameter -not permeable -valves in pulmonary artery and Aorta only -blood under high pressure (10-16k Pa) -blood moves in pulses -blood flows rapidly Veins transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart (except in pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood) -thin muscular wall -little elastic tissue -large lumen relative to diameter -not capable of constriction -not permeable -valves throughout all veins -blood under low pressure (1k Pa) -no pulses -blood flows slowly In what ways can technology be used to collect and analyze cardiovascular data? Technology can be used to collect and analyze cardiovascular data because there are machines such as an EKG which is a test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of your heart and there is also the echocardiogram which is a test in which ultrasound is used to examine the heart. So many types of technology provides us the cardiovascular data to collect and analyze."

When you think of cholesterol, you probably think of bad or high cholesterol. There’s also a good type of cholesterol, though, that your body needs. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the good kind of cholesterol and the kind you want. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the bad kind of cholesterol and the kind you want to keep in check. Keep reading to learn more about HDL and what foods you should be eating to raise your HDL levels. HDL is like a vacuum cleaner or snowplow for cholesterol in the body. When it’s at healthy levels in your blood, it removes extra cholesterol and plaque buildup in your arteries and then sends it to your liver. Your liver expels it from your body. Ultimately, this will help reduce your risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke."

"title": "http://www.geojerry.com/desuperheater.html\nWhat is a Desuperheater?",
"text": "What is a Desuperheater? A desuperheater is a secondary heat exchanger that transfers heat from the earth in the winter, and from your home in the summer, into your domestic hot water tank. The desuperheater is part of the geothermal heat pump's domestic hot water generating system (HWG). Hot water generators only heat domestic water when your geothermal heat pump is heating or cooling your home. The hot water generator's water circulating pump moves the cold water from the bottom of your hot water tank through a water pipe to the desuperheater itself, where the water is heated by the heat that has been transferred from the earth when you are heating your home, and from the inside of your home when you are cooling your home. The heated water is then circulated back into your hot water tank. Heating water with a geothermal heat pump's hot water generator costs about 80 percent less in a heating dominated climate, and up to 95 percent less in a cooling dominated climate, than if you heat your domestic water with an electric, oil, or propane fired hot water heater. At the present cost of natural gas the savings is about 15 percent less - not as drastic a savings as the others, but saving on your bills is still saving on your bills!In the summer heating your domestic water is almost free. This is because the heat that is being removed from your home is transferred into your hot water tank. Since this heat from inside of your home was going to be rejected (thrown away) into the earth anyway, putting it into your hot water tank instead is free."

When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from a fuel like combustion heating systems do. Air-source heat pumps have been used for many years in nearly all parts of the United States, but until recently they have not been used in areas that experienced extended periods of subfreezing temperatures. However, in recent years, air-source heat pump technology has advanced so that it now offers a legitimate space heating alternative in colder regions. For example, when entire units are replaced in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships found that the annual savings when using an air-source heat pump are around 3,000 k Wh (or $459) when compared to electric resistance heaters, and 6,200 k Wh (or $948) when compared to oil systems. When displacing oil (i.e., the oil system remains, but operates less frequently), the average annual savings are near 3,000 k Wh (or about $300). Types of Air-Source Heat Pumps The different types of air source heat pumps are described below.

For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances. There are three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal. They collect heat from the air, water, or ground outside your home and concentrate it for use inside. The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. Today's heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters."

This same agency also states that \"\"because of the technical knowledge and equipment needed to properly install the piping, a GHP system installation is not a do-it-yourself project. To find a qualified installer, call your local utility company, the International Ground Source Heat Pump 1 Association or the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium for their listing of qualified installers in your area.\"\" They don't emphasize the need to get a few estimates, however, and this is really essential in being sure that the ideal system and most reasonable pricing are found. It is also important to discuss potential tax benefits with a geothermal contractor since the heat pumps with Energy Star ratings qualify for a maximum $2,000 credit, but the homeowner may need some documentation or assistance from their contractor in order to claim the tax break. ( Remember too that many local utility providers give their customers a rebate for the installation of geothermal systems as well. ) The geothermal professional is going to visit the home site and assess the land to ensure that it will sustain a geothermal system properly."

These systems are more efficient than separate systems because they eliminate the extra standby losses of another tank or unit. Boilers A boiler has almost three times the life expectancy of a standard storage water heater. The hot-water storage tanks in these systems also tend to stand up well; they are usually made of durable materials (such as stainless steel), and they are not subjected to direct combustion. All of the components in the indirect system are very simple, so maintenance is straightforward. The main mechanical part is a pump that circulates water between the storage tank and the heat exchanger. There is no separate burner for hot water, which reduces heat loss in the home and improves safety. Special Features An indirect water heater can be added to an existing boiler. However, it's best to install one at the same time as you replace your heating system, since the new system can be bought with water heating in mind. Precautions Check with local code authorities."

"text": "Causes of a Crooked Nose December 19, 2014 by Dr. Bentkover A crooked nose can present a host of problems, including trouble breathing and aesthetic issues. Unfortunately, crooked noses are a fairly common problem that compel prospective patients to seek rhinoplasty. While rhinoplasty surgeons are used to seeing this problem on a regular basis, they are one of the more difficult problems to treat with an already difficult procedure. That said, significant improvement can be made to the functionality and aesthetics of a crooked nose through surgery with a skilled facial plastic surgeon. There are several causes of a crooked nose, and it is helpful to understand the nature of your own nasal crookedness if you are planning to move forward with surgical correction. Causes of Crookedness Deviated Septum One of the most common causes of a crooked nose is the deviated septum. The septum is the wall separating the two nasal passages, and while many people have a slight deviation, more serious deviation can result in breathing problems and nasal crookedness. This is an issue that is typically present from birth, but can also be caused by significant injury to the nose. Nasal Trauma Broken noses often do not heal properly, and nasal trauma is a leading cause of nasal crookedness. Because of its positioning on the face, the nose is prone to injury from many different sources, and nasal trauma is unfortunately quite common."

"text": "A deviated septum is a common condition that involves a displacement of the septum, the wall that separates the nostrils, to one side of the nose. In adults, the septum is made of cartilage and bone, and helps to support the nose and its mucous membranes, and enables regular air flow. A deviated septum often develops as a result of an injury to the nose. This condition may cause one nasal passage to be smaller than the other, which can affect breathing if the difference is great enough. A deviated septum may also be the underlying cause of sinus problems, snoring or sleep apnea. In most cases, a deviated septum is caused by an injury to the nose that knocks the septum out of place. Nose injuries are often the result of car accidents or playing sports. Some deviated septa occur during fetal development. As a result of the uneven nasal passages caused by a deviated septum, a patient may have difficulty breathing. Additional symptoms may include: Nasal congestion Nosebleeds Frequent sinus infections This condition can also lead to facial pain, headaches and postnasal drip, which can significantly affect quality of life."

This is when the bone between your nostrils becomes crooked, restricting airflow. Many people have deviated septums but aren’t noticeably affected by them. I was one of the exceptions, with two doctors referring to the damage as severe. To fix a deviated septum, surgery is required. I had this surgery in early April and, prior to that, had been searching for people’s experiences to get an idea of what to expect. I found some blog posts and You Tube videos, but nothing comprehensive, and that’s why I’m writing this post — to help people with deviated septums get an idea of what to expect from the process.

The nasal septum is the barrier separating the cavity of nose into two parts; it is made of middle sustaining skeleton and enclosed with mucous membrane from each side. What is a Deviated Septum or Septal Deviation? The deviated septum or septal deviation can be seen when the delicate wall (nasal wall) of nose between the nostrils is displaced to any side. In many cases, it has been seen that the wall of nose dislocated or different which causes the nasal entrance shorter. When a deviated septum or septal deviation is serious, it is capable enough to obstruct any side of one's nose and lessen the airflow which leads to breathing problem. The effect of dryness in air flowing through nose is another revelation of deviated septum which causes the encrustation and loss of blood in some people. Nasal blockage can happen from these abnormal displacements from inflation of the tissues covering the nose or from either of the two. The therapy to cure nasal blockage may cover medications to lessen the inflation or sticky strips that may assist in clearing the entrance of the nose."

"text": "Normal Inferior Turbinates Turbinates are bony structures covered with soft tissue on the sides of the inner nose that regulate airflow and protect the inner nasal anatomy. The major function of the turbinates is to control airflow. From the bottom to the top of the nose, there are three (sometimes four) levels of turbinate structures: the inferior, middle, superior and the supreme turbinate that is not present in every person. The inferior turbinate plays the largest part in directing airflow, but it also moistens, heats, and filters air coming into the respiratory system. The middle turbinate primarily protects the sinuses and the olfactory bulb, which houses your smell receptors. The superior turbinate protects the sphenoid sinus on each side. What can go wrong with the turbinates? The primary issue people experience with their turbinates is turbinate hypertrophy (enlarged turbinates). Enlarged turbinates can be caused by allergies, chronic sinus inflammation, or environmental irritants. Turbinate hypertrophy can be situational or chronic."

"text": "Deviated Septum The shape of your nasal cavity could be the cause of chronic sinusitis. The nasal septum is the wall dividing the nasal cavity into halves; it is composed of a central supporting skeleton covered on each side by mucous membrane. The front portion of this natural partition is a firm but bendable structure made mostly of cartilage and is covered by skin that has a substantial supply of blood vessels. The ideal nasal septum is exactly midline, separating the left and right sides of the nose into passageways of equal size. Estimates are that 80 percent of all nasal septums are off-center, a condition that is generally not noticed. A “deviated septum” occurs when the septum is severely shifted away from the midline. The most common symptom from a badly deviated or crooked septum is difficulty breathing through the nose. The symptoms are usually worse on one side, and sometimes actually occur on the side opposite the bend. In some cases the crooked septum can interfere with the drainage of the sinuses, resulting in repeated sinus infections. Septoplasty is the preferred surgical treatment to correct a deviated septum."

This interferes with drainage and causes the mucus to build up within your nasal cavity. Up to 37 million Americans each year are effected by sinusitis and some of the symptoms include: headache; pain and pressure around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead; nasal congestion or blockage; facial swelling; low-grade fever; dental pain; and cough. Most sinus infections begin with a cold that blocks your sinus openings and decreases the drainage ability allowing an infection to develop. Patients who repeatedly get sinus infections may have a pre-existing condition such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or allergies. Acute Sinusitis Acute sinusitis is caused by a bacterial infection that afflicts one of the sinus cavities. It is typically indicated by fever, pain, and swelling over your sinus area. Patients with acute sinusitis complain of tenderness when they touch the affected area on their face. Inflammation of the Nasal Tissue An inflammation of the nasal tissue may initially be caused by an infection.

Immediately after deviated septum surgery, you should expect some minor inflammation around your nose and eyes. You also need to be prepared to face the fact that your nose will have soft splints as these are necessary for the septum to heal and retain its new repositioning. For the same reason, your nose will also be filled with soft gauze or cotton. Make sure that your nose is not shifted or disturbed to allow the splints and packs left in the nostrils to help heal the wounds."

"text": "Normal Inferior Turbinates Turbinates are bony structures covered with soft tissue on the sides of the inner nose that regulate airflow and protect the inner nasal anatomy. The major function of the turbinates is to control airflow. From the bottom to the top of the nose, there are three (sometimes four) levels of turbinate structures: the inferior, middle, superior and the supreme turbinate that is not present in every person. The inferior turbinate plays the largest part in directing airflow, but it also moistens, heats, and filters air coming into the respiratory system. The middle turbinate primarily protects the sinuses and the olfactory bulb, which houses your smell receptors. The superior turbinate protects the sphenoid sinus on each side. What can go wrong with the turbinates? The primary issue people experience with their turbinates is turbinate hypertrophy (enlarged turbinates). Enlarged turbinates can be caused by allergies, chronic sinus inflammation, or environmental irritants. Turbinate hypertrophy can be situational or chronic."

There are two pairs of important turbinates, the inferior turbinates and the middle turbinates. The Inferior Turbinate - purpose and problems The inferior turbinate is a large structure that runs the length of the nasal airway. It is a highly vascular structure, about the size of your finger. You can almost touch the front part of it with your finger and it extends to the area where your adenoids are. Its purpose is to provide surface area of mucous membrane to humidify the air as it passes and to collect dust and dirt on its surface. The inferior turbinate can change size dramatically. When you have a cold or other problem that causes congestion, it is the inferior turbinate that changes size the most."

Also referred to as a medical sonographer, this profession is highly technical and the technician will need to undergo certain training in order to take up this job title. Ultrasound technicians give other medical professionals an important service and without them it would be impossible to identify some of the ailments that affect our internal organs. There are various aspects to this profession and it doesn’t just involve the taking imagery. The ultrasound technicians also need to prepare patients for the ultrasound by explaining to them what the procedure entails and answering their concerns. The ultrasound technician will then apply gel and position the patient on the table where the exam will be conducted. Patients’ records also need to be taken and examined to ensure that the patient is fit to take the exam. During the procedure, the ultrasound technician will want to ensure that the patient is comfortable and operate the equipment personally to take the best possible images. The more images are taken the better as these make it easier to select images that clearly indicate the underlying problem. After the tests have been completed, copies of the images are presented to the doctor in charge and the ultrasound technicianwill be required to give a written report on the findings and an oral one as well."

Pretty sure I paid about $650 on my mill many years ago. At these new prices, it's tempting to put DRO on the lathe but, I've been doing fine without it and don't know if it's worth rocking the boat. I have an i Gaging \"\"DRO\"\" on the Z axis which gets me in the ballpark then, calipers & mics for fine-tuning. For me anyhow, it seems that operating the lathe and mill is half art and half science. When it gets right down to those last couple cuts and the grande-finale finish pass, it's all art at that point. Does a DRO really help that part of things? Does anyone out there have any convincing thoughts/opinions why I should try DRO on the lathe? Ray T. J.

Aviation Acronyms can seem like Alphabet Soup!With Airspeeds and V-Speeds, there are dozens of Aviation Acronyms for the student pilot to learn and remember. Your Aviation Acronym Decoder begins with some talk about Velocity. V is for Speed The “V” is from the French word ‘Vitesse’ which means ‘speed’ or ‘rate’. Important aviation Airspeeds are identified and defined using standard terms. Scientists and Engineers refer to Airspeeds as ‘V’ Speeds. Commonly, people think in terms of “Velocity”, and it is a nice memory aid, as “Velocity” begins with “V”. But, technically “Velocity” is defined as “Speed in a particular direction”. So, as a memory aid, you may loosely think of “V-Speeds” as “Velocity Speeds”, but to be more accurate, the ‘V’ is for ‘Vitesse’. V-Speeds are Airspeeds defined for specific maneuvers in specific aircraft at specific configurations."

My 9V battery keeps dying, what does that mean? Posted on August 23, 2017 by Brian - aka \"\"The Rain Dial Doctor\"\"2When Irritrol Rain Dial batteries keep draining faster than they should (usually they last at least a year or more), it is a sign that the controller is failing, but has not failed completely. As the parts fail they can degrade slowly and the battery ends up providing power to compensate. However, this causes the battery to drain faster, meaning it may last a week, or month instead of a year. Eventually you’ll have to replace it more and more frequently until even a new battery won’t be enough for it to work. There’s no way to really predict when a new battery will not be enough to make it work. One thing is for sure: “you’re living on borrowed time. ”You can wait if you want, but it’s usually better to get it taken care now, otherwise Murphy’s law usually kicks in and it’ll fail right before you are headed out on a long vacation They often are intermittent as they’re failing, so it will not water, but when you notice the dying plants, but when you test it, it’ll seem to be working."

The aims of this study were to obtain an estimate of the proportion of the Canadian population living in homes with radon gas levels above the guideline 1 of 200 Bq/m 3, to identify previously unknown areas where radon gas exposure may constitute a health risk, and to build, over time, a map of indoor radon gas exposure levels across Canada. Participants for the study were recruited by Prairie Research Associates (PRA) via telephone. Homes were sampled across Canada and a long-term (three-month) radon test was conducted by participants during the fall and winter heating season. By sampling in all Health Regions 2 as opposed to a few large cities, an estimate of the geographic distribution of radon levels across Canada was obtained. Participants also completed a questionnaire about their home's characteristics. The results from this two-year study indicate that 6.9% of Canadians are living in homes with radon levels above the current radon guideline of 200 Bq/m 3. These results are in line with the year 1 results of 7%. This estimate is also similar to the Cross-Canada Survey results from the late 1970s which showed that 5% of Canadians lived in homes that were above the 200 Bq/m 3 radon guideline. This survey confirmed that radon levels vary significantly across the country and that there are areas where high levels of indoor radon are more prevalent."

Apokyn has been studied as an adjunct to other medications [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Slideshow Misdiagnosis: Righting The Wrong Apokyn Dosage and Administration Important Administration Instructions Apokyn is indicated for subcutaneous administration only [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] and only by a multiple-dose Apokyn Pen with supplied cartridges. The initial dose and dose titrations should be performed by a healthcare provider. Blood pressure and pulse should be measured in the supine and standing position before and after dosing. A caregiver or patient may administer Apokyn if a healthcare provider determines that it is appropriate. Instruct patients to follow the directions provided in the Patients Instructions For Use. Because the Apokyn Pen has markings in milliliters (m L), the prescribed dose of Apokyn should be expressed in m L to avoid confusion. Visually inspect the Apokyn drug product through the viewing window for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The solution should not be used if discolored (it should be colorless), or cloudy, or if foreign particles are present. Rotate the injection site and use proper aseptic technique [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) and Patient Counseling Information (17)]. Premedication and Concomitant Medication Because of the high incidence of nausea and vomiting with Apokyn treatment, an antiemetic, e.g., trimethobenzamide 300 mg three times a day, should be started 3 days prior to the initial dose of Apokyn [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]."

I'm guessing that I put the appropriate number of weights on the back (all three for Rockwell C), pull that lever on the top right forward, raise the knee pressing the point against the part until the small arrow points to the small red dot on the left of the dial, zero the dial to the \"\"set\"\" point, and then trip the lever to release the weight. Whatever number the needle points to when it stops moving is the hardness. Is that right? If the needle doesn't match the rating on the test block, what do I adjust?"

"text": "Summary The Nikon D750 is a very capable high-end DSLR that successfully positions itself between the existing D610 and D810 - a slot which may, at first, seem unnecessary, but which has ended up delivering one of the most compelling models in the range. Nikon's been very careful with the feature-set, picking aspects of both models on either side of it, while adding others that make it unique and arguably the company's most forward-thinking full-frame DSLR to date. So the D750 gives you a 24 Megapixel full-frame sensor in a tough body that's weather-sealed to the same extent as the D810, a 51-point AF system that works in lower light than the models on either side of it, 6.5fps continuous shooting, 1080 video at 60p, 9-frame AEB, and becomes the first full-frame Nikon DSLR to feature an articulated screen and built-in Wifi. It lacks the ultimate resolving power of the D810, not to mention its 1/8000 shutter and PC Sync port, but costs around $1000 USD less while also including Wifi and the tilting screen. It's become my favourite DSLR in the current Nikon line-up. Buy it now!, B&H, or Adorama. Alternatively you could treat me to a coffee!Nikon D750 review12th November 2014 Written by Gordon Laing Intro Quality Samples Verdict Intro The Nikon D750 is a full-frame DSLR aimed at enthusiast photographers. Announced in September 2014, it’s positioned between the D610 and the D810 as a new model, and not officially as a replacement for the D700 – although some owners of that model will undoubtedly be weighing-up their upgrade options. Nikon’s equipped the D750 with what it describes as a new 24.3 Megapixel FX-format sensor, sharing the same resolution as the D610, but with a higher maximum sensitivity of 12800 ISO (51200 extended) and support for 1080 video at 50p and 60p."

Tools and equipment provide this insight. They reveal things we cannot know without their use. One tool, every serious technician will need in their arsenal, is a good dial indicator. What size dial indicator do I need? Experienced mechanics may own several styles of indicators over their careers. Many are handy in specific situations, but limited outside their intended use. For general use, a plunger-type indicator, with a back mounting, is a great addition to the tool collection. A dial indicator is a precision measuring device.

"text": "PCT Certification – Patient Care Technician Patient Care Technicians are a most intimate point of contact with patients undergoing dialysis treatments. These specialized technicians give comfort, guidance and quality care for these patients, making their visit to a dialysis center one of calmness and hope. Becoming a PCT is not difficult, and it strengthens an individual’s opportunities in the field of medical practice, not only in the field of Nephrology, but also in many other areas of health care. If you wish to become a Dialysis Technician, enjoy a team-oriented atmosphere where you can build relationships and provide superior clinical care, this is the place to start. What is a Patient Care Technician? Generally, Patient Care Technicians work along with doctors and nurses in the medical field, playing a role in assisting patients with quality healthcare. They are the people that have the most contact with the patients, even more than the doctors and nurses attending. PCTs assist patients with many tasks that they may not be able to do for themselves, such as taking a bath, brushing their teeth, eating and the like. Other names for this function are certified nurse assistant, hospital attendant, or health care assistant. When Patient Care Technicians work in the field of Nephrology, they are working in dialysis centers and providing care for patients who are receiving treatment for renal failure."

Ostarine (MK-2866) is a SARM developed by GTx for the prevention and treatment of muscle wasting. It may eventually be a medical prescription for the prevention of cachexia, atrophy and sarcopenia as well as for Hormone or Testosterone Replacement Therapy. As a research chemical, Ostarine belongs to a class of chemicals know as SARMS or selective androgen receptor modulators. SARMS create selective anabolic activity at certain androgen receptors. In comparison to testosterone and other anabolic steroids, the advantage of SARMS, is they do not have androgenic activity in non-skeletal muscle tissues. Ostarine is effective in maintaining and increasing lean body mass. How does it work?"

"text": "\"\"\"WO\"\" is a suffix to a patent number that indicates that the original patent application was filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, an international treaty that harmonizes the patent application process among member nations. Although the World Intellectual Property Organization oversees this process, it does not issue international patents; instead, applicants must complete the last phase of the patent application process with the patent office of each nation where they desire patent protection. Priority Dates National patent offices normally reject a patent application that is filed after details of invention have been made public. Since filing with a national patent office entails publication of the details of the invention, a second national patent office can reject the applicant's application simply because the first patent office has already publicized details of the invention. By designating a patent application as a Patent Cooperation Treaty application, the filing date of the applicant's original application with the PCT applies to all subsequent applications with national patent offices, allowing the patent application process to proceed as long as details of the invention were not publicized before the original PCT patent application was filed. File a provisional application for patent online. Get Started Now Patent Searches An invention cannot be patented if identical or nearly identical technology has already been patented because the invention will lack \"\"novelty,\"\" a primary requirement for patent protection. Under the PCT, the International Searching Authority of the World Intellectual Property Organization will conduct an international search of previously patented technology on behalf of the applicant and issue an opinion as to whether or not the invention possesses novelty. Preliminary Examination If the PCT applicant so requests, WIPO will conduct a preliminary patent examination of the invention and issue an opinion on whether or not the invention can be patented. In addition to novelty, patents must possess utility and non-obviousness."

For specific questions, further information and contact points, see Question 29. Overview of the PCT System1) What is the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)? The PCT is an international treaty with more than 150 Contracting States. 1 The PCT makes it possible to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in a large number of countries by filing a single “international” patent application instead of filing several separate national or regional patent applications. The granting of patents remains under the control of the national or regional patent Offices in what is called the “national phase”. The PCT procedure includes: Filing: you file an international application with a national or regional patent Office or WIPO, complying with the PCT formality requirements, in one language, and you pay one set of fees. International Search: an “International Searching Authority” (ISA) (one of the world’s major patent Offices) identifies the published patent documents and technical literature (“prior art”) which may have an influence on whether your invention is patentable, and establishes a written opinion on your invention’s potential patentability. International Publication: as soon as possible after the expiration of 18 months from the earliest filing date, the content of your international application is disclosed to the world. Supplementary International Search (optional): a second ISA identifies, at your request, published documents which may not have been found by the first ISA which carried out the main search because of the diversity of prior art in different languages and different technical fields."

Most major countries have now signed the PCT, and new countries are continually being added. We at Brown and Michaels have successfully filed for a number of foreign patents, both directly and through the PCT, and have excellent associates in most foreign countries. We can advise you about the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Assuming you're a citizen or resident of the US, the first step is to file in the United States, as usual (if you are neither a citizen nor a resident of the US, see this note ). Once your US patent application is on file, you have one year to claim the priority of your US filing date in foreign countries. That is, if you file in a foreign country within one year of filing in the USA, you are considered to have filed in the foreign country on the same day as you filed in the US. ( Note that if you filed a Provisional Application, your one-year period dates from the filing of the Provisional, not the regular utility patent application). You can then file your PCT application at any time within this one-year priority period, claiming priority from the first US application (provisional or non-provisional). Your PCT application covers all of the PCT member countries - 152 of them as of June 9, 2017."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Dermatologic Manifestations of Diseases Associated With ESRDDermatologic Manifestations of Uremia Dermatologic Disorders Associated With Renal Transplantation Show All Media Gallery Tables References Overview Dermatologic manifestations of renal disease are not uncommon findings in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cutaneous examination of patients with ESRD has shown that 50-100% of patients have at least 1 dermatologic condition. A high prevalence of cutaneous disorders is expected, because most patients with ESRD have an underlying disease process with cutaneous manifestations. In addition, uremia and conditions associated with renal replacement therapy are fraught with numerous and, often, relatively unique cutaneous disorders. Consequently, dermatologic manifestations of renal disease may be divided into 3 general categories including: (1) dermatologic manifestations of diseases associated with the development of ESRD, (2) dermatologic manifestations of uremia, and (3) dermatologic disorders associated with renal transplantation. The image below illustrates several uremia-related cutaneous disorders. Hands of a transfusion-dependent patient on long-term hemodialysis. Several uremia-related cutaneous disorders are visible. The pigmentary alteration results from retained urochromes and hemosiderin deposition. The large bullae are consistent with either porphyria cutanea tarda or the bullous disease of dialysis."

Popular with athletes, power lifters and body builders for its ability to both bulk and cut, Ligandrol produces steroid-like results without the side effects. It’s considered an excellent supplement for those looking to recomp: reduce their body fat and increase lean muscle mass. From a medical perspective, Ligandrol is being studied to treat conditions such as muscle wasting linked with acute and chronic diseases, age-related muscle loss, Osteoporosis and cancer. Let’s take a closer look…History Behind LGD 4033LGD-4033 was originally discovered by Ligand pharmaceuticals and is currently under development by Viking Therapeutics as VK5211. From the start, LGD-4033 has been anticipated to yield the healing benefits of testosterone with better safety, admissibility and patient acceptance due to tissue-selective mechanism of action and its oral form of administering. How it Works Ligandrol works in the same way as other SARM’s: by selectively activating androgen receptors to promote anabolic activity exclusively in muscle and bone. New to SARM’s? Click here for the beginner’s guide to SARMs for everything you need to know. Studies show [1] that LGD-4033 has a high affinity muscle and bone AR’s rather than prostate, liver or sebaceous glands, which makes it an ideal SARM for building and preserving muscle mass and bone mineral density."

"text": "\"Japanese Patent Process Requirements for filing in Japan An applicant in Japan may claim priority based upon a patent application filed in any other country that is a signatory of the Paris Convention or the TRIPS agreement. A Japanese application may be filed with a copy of the specification in English or Japanese, drawings, where necessary, and the following information: Name and address of inventor (s) Name and address of assignee (s) Priority right date and country Priority application number (if assigned) Note: For a PCT national entry, we will obtain the above information, claims and specification from the PCT publication, if it was published in English. Please simply inform us of the PCT application number (and publication number for the confirmation). Priority Document A certified priority document must be filed within one year and four months from the first filing date of a priority-based application. When priority is based upon a European Patent Office (EPO) application, the priority document need not be filed because of an electronic transfer system established between the EPO and the Japanese Patent Office (JPO). Power of Attorney The JPO does not require a power of attorney for a patent attorney to file a patent application. A power of attorney is required if the invention is finally rejected and appealed, or if the patent is granted, opposed and responded. If such courses of action occur, our policy is to supply a power of attorney form to the client accompanied with our instructions. Language of Application Although all JPO proceedings are performed in the Japanese language, it is possible to file an initial patent application in English. In this case, a Japanese translation must be filed within two months of the initial filing date along with an additional fee."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology In what segment of the nephron does most reabsorption occur? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The proximal tubule regulates the p H of the filtrate by exchanging hydrogen ions in the interstitium for bicarbonate ions in the filtrate; furthermore, it is responsible for secreting organic acids, such as creatinine and other bases, into the filtrate. Fluid in the filtrate entering the proximal convoluted tubule is reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries. This is driven by sodium transport from the lumen into the blood by the Na+/K+ ATPase in the basolateral membrane of the epithelial cells. Sodium reabsorption is primarily driven by this antiporter. This is the most important transport mechanism in the PCTSource (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_tu... Fadi · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Tubular reabsorption takes place in the kidneys. It specifically occurs in nephrons, microscopic tubular structures (Proximal Convoluted Tubule-PRIMARY & Distal Convoluted tubule-SECONDARY) of the kidney that number in the millions. The Renal Corpuscle, made up of the Bowman's Capsule and the Glomerulus (in the cortex) has a high blood pressure (from the glomerulus into the B. C.) that promotes filtration into the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (also in the cortex). As the filtrate runs along the PCT, certain molecules, such as glucose, amino acids and sodium are reabsorbed. Water is also reabsorbed here."

"text": "What Do Patient Care Technicians/Associates Do? Patient care technicians or associates (PCTs or PCAs) provide various aspects of patient care under the direct supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or doctor. They provide communication, comfort, and safety for the patient and typically have more clinical responsibility and technical skills than nursing aides. They assist patients with walking, bathing, eating, dressing, and getting in and out of beds, wheelchairs, and stretchers. Other duties may include taking and recording temperature, pulse, weight, and respiration rate, and obtaining specimens as directed by medical staff. They may also prepare rooms, sterilize equipment and escort patients to exam rooms and surgery. Some facilities create job ladders for PCTs/PCAs. Those with more technical skills and experience have more patient care responsibilities and receive a higher salary. PCTs/PCAs seem to share a job description with certified nursing assistants; however, there is no uniform requirement for certification of PCTs/PCAs, as there is for certified nursing assistants. Some states do not recognize PCTs/PCAs as functionally separate from certified nursing assistants and require certification regardless of job title."

Talking to individuals about why they chose to be a caregiver in the dialysis field and learning what they enjoy about their jobs supports this idea. Overall, renal caregivers say they enjoy helping people and providing the dialysis treatment that helps their patients live to see another day. In honor of National Kidney Month, National Social Worker Month and National Nutrition Month, we asked renal professionals a few questions to find out their feelings about working with dialysis patients. The questions and their answers appear below. We also asked them to share some of the interesting stories that have happened in their careers; some are touching, some are funny, but it’s all in a day at the dialysis center. Why did you become a renal care professional? Genevieve, a renal dietitian, says, “I have always been interested in nutrition and healthy eating since a young age. I have also had an interest in kidney disease due to the fact that my mother has been a dialysis nurse for over 20 years. ”Sharone, a clinical coordinator, also had inside knowledge of her profession, “I wanted to keep the nursing tradition alive in my family."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A 35 mm lens set to f/8; the diameter of the seven-sided entrance pupil, the virtual image of the opening in the iris diaphragm, is 4.375 mm In optics, a diaphragm is a thin opaque structure with an opening ( aperture) at its center. The role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light, except for the light passing through the aperture. Thus it is also called a stop (an aperture stop, if it limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane, or a field stop or flare stop for other uses of diaphragms in lenses). The diaphragm is placed in the light path of a lens or objective, and the size of the aperture regulates the amount of light that passes through the lens. The centre of the diaphragm's aperture coincides with the optical axis of the lens system. Most modern cameras use a type of adjustable diaphragm known as an iris diaphragm, and often referred to simply as an iris. See the articles on aperture and f-number for the photographic effect and system of quantification of varying the opening in the diaphragm.

"text": "\"The Concept of Magnification A simple microscope or magnifying glass (lens) produces an image of the object upon which the microscope or magnifying glass is focused. Simple magnifier lenses are bi-convex, meaning they are thicker at the center than at the periphery as illustrated with the magnifier in Figure 1. The image is perceived by the eye as if it were at a distance of 10 inches or 25 centimeters (the reference, or traditional or conventional viewing distance). Since the image appears to be on the same side of the lens as the object, it cannot be projected onto a screen. Such images are termed virtual images and they appear upright, not inverted. Figure 1 presents an illustration of how a simple magnifying lens operates. The object (in this case the subject is a rose) is being viewed with a simple bi-convex lens. Light reflected from the rose enters the lens in straight lines as illustrated in Figure 1. This light is refracted and focused by the lens to produce a virtual image on the retina. The image of the rose is magnified because we perceive the actual size of the object (the rose) to be at infinity because our eyes trace the light rays back in straight lines to the virtual image (Figure 1)."

Accuracy of recording depends upon the dynamic response characteristics (frequency response and sensitivity), and the stability of the transducer system, as well as the response characteristics of the amplifier and recorder. Minimum requirements for the routine recording of intravascular pressures have been stated. Some recent applications of pressure recording demand a much higher order of recording accuracy, and a thorough knowledge of transducer performance. Performance characteristics of commercially available electrical transducers have been discussed. Pressure transducer design involves the sensing of a variation in electrical resistance, capacitance, or inductance in response to a displacement of a metal diaphragm. The limitations of the methods have been delineated. Where precise methodology is required in laboratory investigative work, performance of any of these instruments should be tested and stated.

The mounting medium is important for several reasons. Of course it stabilizes and preserves the specimen. But at least equally important are the optical characteristics. The refractive index (RI) of the mounting medium can have a significant impact on the image quality. We first have to understand, that the specimen itself also has a certain refractive index. The differences between the refractive index of the specimen and the surrounding mounting medium now influences how the specimen appears under the microscope. Large difference of RIA large difference in refractive index results in strong refraction of light where the specimen and the mounting medium meet. As a consequence, some parts of the specimen appears darker and this can cover up some of the details and color of the specimen. One of the most extreme cases occurs, when the specimen is dry mounted (without mounting medium, only air)."

View larger image Figure 1 Light path of a microscope. The optimal set up for a light microscope is referred to as 'Kohler illumination'. In this case the iris diaphragm of the lamp, the specimen and the primary image are simultaneously in focus. The objective forms a magnified primary image of the specimen in the image plane, which is viewed and further magnified by the eyepiece. In practice each of the optical elements usually consists of several lenses, which are designed to minimise the distortions that would be produced by using a simple single lens. While the study of optics is outside the scope of this course, you should know that the effective magnification of a microscope is the product of magnification produced by the objective and the eyepiece. The geometry of light microscopes varies greatly, but there are two main types: Where the light source is below the section and the objective above it - this is the conventional arrangement. Where the light source is above the section and the objective beneath it - this is often referred to as an inverted microscope. In both cases, systems of mirrors or prisms within the microscope body reflect the light to direct it to the eyepiece, which is in a convenient position for the observer."

Figure 1 - Field Diaphragm Location in Eyepiece Designs In most cases, the eyepiece field diaphragm opening diameter determines the view field size. The field size in the specimen plane is then defined as the field number divided by the magnification of the objective: If an auxiliary lens is inserted between the objective and eyepiece, the magnification factor of this lens should also be employed in the equation by multiplication with the objective magnification (prior to the division operation). Although the field number is usually limited by the magnification and field diaphragm (stop) size of the eyepiece, there is clearly a limit that is also imposed by the design of the objective lens system. In early microscope objectives, the maximum usable field diameter tended to be about 18 millimeters or considerably less, but with modern plan apochromats and other specialized flat-field objectives, the maximum usable field can sometimes exceed 28 millimeters. Interactive Tutorial - Field of View Diameter Exploring the effect of varying the field of view size on the viewable specimen area. In modern microscope eyepieces, the field diaphragm either precedes the optical system or is located between the lens element groups, as illustrated in Figure 1. This figure presents cutaway diagrams of a Ramsden and Huygens eyepiece showing ray traces through the field lens, eye lens, and field diaphragm. The Ramsden eyepiece (illustrated on the right in Figure 1) has an optical system consisting of two plano-convex lenses having a fixed separation distance according to their focal lengths.

"text": "\"Contrast in Optical Microscopy When imaging specimens in the optical microscope, differences in intensity and/or color create image contrast, which allows individual features and details of the specimen to become visible. Contrast is defined as the difference in light intensity between the image and the adjacent background relative to the overall background intensity. In general, a minimum contrast value of 0.02 (2 percent) is needed by the human eye to distinguish differences between the image and its background. For other detectors, such as film, video cameras, or photodetectors (CCD and CMOS devices), the minimum contrast is often a different value. With each detector, the signal-to-noise ratio (noise is all of the light in the optical system devoid of image information) must be large enough to be interpreted in terms of the formation of a coherent image. Contrast produced in the specimen by the absorption of light, brightness, reflectance, birefringence, light scattering, diffraction, fluorescence, or color variations has been the classical means of imaging specimens in brightfield microscopy. The ability of a detail to stand out against the background or other adjacent details is a measure of specimen contrast. In terms of a simple formula, contrast can be described as: Percent Contrast (C) = ( (I ( s) - I ( b )) x 100)/I ( b)Where I ( b) is the intensity of the background and I ( s) is the specimen intensity. From this equation, it is evident that specimen contrast refers to the relationship between the highest and lowest intensity in the image. The graph shown in Figure 1 illustrates the effect of background intensity on contrast."

It is sometimes abbreviated to AXR, or KUB (for kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder ). Contents [ hide ]1 Indications2 Projections2.1 KUB2.2 Gastrointestinal series3 See also4 References Indications [ edit]In children, abdominal x-ray is indicated in the acute setting: Suspected bowel obstruction or gastrointestinal perforation; Abdominal x-ray will demonstrate most cases of bowel obstruction, by showing dilated bowel loops. [ 1]Foreign body in the alimentary tract; can be identified if it is radiodense. [ 1]Suspected abdominal mass [1]In suspected intussusception, an abdominal x-ray does not exclude intussusception but is useful in the differential diagnosis to exclude perforation or obstruction. [ 1]Yet, CT scan is the best alternative for diagnosing intra-abdominal injury. [ 1]For acute abdominal pain in adults, an abdominal x-ray has a low sensitivity and accuracy in general, as well as for specific conditions such as gastrointestinal perforation, bowel obstruction, ingested foreign body, and ureteral stones. Computed tomography, particularly computed tomography after negative abdominal ultrasonography, provides a better workup than projectional abdominal radiography alone. Computed tomography provides an overall better surgical strategy planning, and possibly less unnecessary laparotomies. Abdominal x-ray is therefore not recommended for adults with acute abdominal pain presenting in the emergency department. ["

From our earliest years as a convict nation through to today, when many of our sons and daughters perform on the world stage. Prior to European settlement the Australian Aborigines developed a range of unique musical instruments including the didgeridoo and clapsticks which were used in their traditional ceremonies. These instruments and their distinctive sounds are today incorporated with traditional musical instruments in a fusion of contemporary mainstream styles and performed by Australian indigenous artists such as Gurrumul Yunupingu and Yothu Yindi.

Songs such as 'Bound for Botany Bay' described the period in the late 18th and 19th centuries when British convicts were deported to the various Australian penal colonies. It's about life on the convict ships while other early songs tell of the hardships and isolation endured in the harsh new land. Those early songs were heavily influenced by successive waves of migrants from diverse backgrounds, beginning with the British, Irish, Scottish and Welsh convicts."

You may just be looking for a talk box or vocoder. An auto-tune makes your voice auto-tuned and sets it to sound much better. A vocoder only makes your voice computerized while the auto-tune actually changes the sound of your voice and tone of it. You can adjust your auto-tune and turn it up very high or lower it. You can auto-tune on Garage band. First, open up Garage band. First you will want to record a track or recording and put this recording on auto-tune.

"text": "Top 10 Strangest Musical Instruments15By Shell Harris on May 29, 2009 Bizarre, Music When most of us think of a musical instrument, we might think of a guitar, a piano or even a set of drums. All normal enough instruments to be sure, but there are stranger musical instruments out there. These strange instruments may not produce a melodious quality we would expect, but certainly they will make you look, if not listen, twice.10. Nano Guitar Musical instruments don’t get any smaller than this. Coming in at a whopping 10 micrometers long, this little guitar, created by researchers at Cornell University, is no larger than a human cell. The nano guitar has six strings, each only about one hundred atoms wide, which can be played only by an atomic force microscope. You won’t be hearing any new music groups claiming nano guitar fame, however, as the sound produced by the nano guitar’s silicon strings would be much too slight to be heard by human ears. Also, tuning can be a pain.9. Sea Organ This musical instrument, built on the edge of the Adriatic Sea in Zadar, Croatia, is the world’s first sea-powered organ. The wind and waves from the sea play this organ’s diatonic tones endlessly, allowing a visitor to sit inside single chords of sound as they look out into the sea and watch what Alfred Hitchcock called “the most beautiful sunset in the world.”"

"text": "\"Matt Brasier / Masterfile Subscribe Making noise in the bedroom usually indicates a healthy sex life. Unfortunately, for half of all adults, that noise often sounds suspiciously like a power saw. And before you point a finger at the man of the house, consider this: An estimated 30 percent of women snore with some regularity. Debbie Thomas, 34, of Sandston, Virginia, used to think that the problem, like balding and beer guts, only afflicted men — until friends began teasing her about her own nocturnal noisemaking. \"\" In high school I was afraid to sleep over at friends' houses, and later I didn't want to let any boyfriends hear me snoring. It's so embarrassing,\"\" she says. When Thomas got a job in a sleep lab 4 years ago, she was in for another surprise: Besides its social stigma, snoring can signal underlying health problems. In the most serious cases, it's a sign that something is blocking your windpipe and preventing oxygen from getting to the brain; this is a potentially dangerous condition known as sleep apnea. \"\" We consider snoring innocuous, but it's absolutely not,\"\" says Rubin Naiman, Ph. D., a sleep specialist at Miraval Spa in Catalina, Arizona. \"\""

These exercises are useful for sleep breathing disorders only if the cause is similar with snoring. That is: large neck with weak muscles and floppy tissue. Your challenge is to strengthen these weak muscles to prevent them collapsing during sleep. Moreover, if you are overweight, you can get faster results by losing weight. Are Oropharyngeal Exercises Effective? Because the best therapy - CPAP - is not tolerated by many patients, and surgery or dental appliances can also bring side effects, scientists are interested to review the alternative methods and study them more carefully. You can read their opinion about unconventional therapy for sleep apnea here. Studies That Prove the Efficiency of Mouth & Neck Exercises A Brazilian study shows that doing certain tongue and facial exercises for 30 minutes daily may ease the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.

"text": "\"With a remarkable history that stretches back at least 50,000 years, the indigenous people of Australia are part of the world’s oldest cultures. Preserving their ancient heritage through a complex oral tradition of mythological “Dreamtime” stories, music has always played a central role in maintaining cultural identity. From the traditional sounds of voice, bilma (clapsticks) and yidaki (didgeridoo) through to contemporary singer-songwriters and rock bands, Australia’s indigenous music continues to evolve in fascinating ways. In the Dreamtime Aboriginal creation myths tell of legendary totemic beings who wandered over the continent in the Dreamtime, singing out the name of everything that crossed their path – animals, plants, rocks, waterholes – and so singing the world into existence. The songlines are paths which can be traced across the continent, linking sacred spirits that have returned to the land. Thus, they define the intangible relationship between Aboriginal music, beliefs and the land. A Bit of History The indigenous people of Australia are thought to have arrived between 40,000 and 100,000 years ago. In 1770 English explorer James Cook claimed the continent for Britain, which he justified by the legal concept of terra nullius (“no man’s land”) – a distinctly European idea defined as “an absence of civilization”. From 1788, the indigenous people were driven off their ancestral lands and resettled, or hunted and killed like animals. Such brutal practices persisted until well into the twentieth century, and discrimination has continued, with the recognition of Aboriginal rights a relatively recent development."

The way they adapted to our country's challenging conditions is a testament to Aussie inventiveness. It was once a widely-held belief in Australia that before contact, Aboriginal culture stood still. But forming the kinds of agricultural societies typical of English settlers just wasn't the right strategy to endure Australia's harsh conditions. Even with imported English technology, agriculture was a precarious business in Australia. \"\" Diversification was the key to surviving in such a diverse landscape,\"\" says Lyndon Ormond-Parker, a research fellow from the indigenous studies unit at the University of Melbourne. \"\" Certainly, when it came to social complexity, Australia was just as diverse as Europe.

Roe Institute Romina is a leading fiscal and economic expert at The Heritage Foundation and focuses on government spending and the national debt. Summary In 2014, federal spending reached $3.5 trillion and the deficit was $486 billion. Compared with trillion-dollar deficits following the Great Recession, this presents a small and temporary improvement in the nation’s fiscal situation. However, this minor improvement does not mean that government can stop cutting back on spending. As the figures and graphics in this report show, that would be the wrong conclusion to draw. Key Takeaways In 2014, the national debt exceeds $145,000 per American household. Almost half of all spending paid for Social Security and health care entitlements (primarily Medicare, Medicaid). Congress should reform the entitlement programs so that they become more affordable and benefit those with the greatest need. Copied Select a Section 1 /0Contributors Romina Boccia is Grover M.

Some have asserted or assumed that the lack of a congressional budget plan for the coming fiscal year will result in a breakdown of fiscal discipline. For example, Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott recently charged that the lack of a budget plan would lead to a \"\"Wild, Wild West\"\" appropriations process with no spending limits. ( 1)Would the lack of a congressional budget plan (or \"\"congressional budget resolution\"\") for fiscal year 2003 really mean the collapse of fiscal discipline? This analysis suggests otherwise, for two basic reasons. First, the rules of the House and Senate may impose more fiscal discipline without a new budget plan than with one. Without a new budget plan, the dollar levels in the last year's Congressional budget plan continue to apply to tax and entitlement legislation. Gridlock on tax issues — and especially, the avoidance of a new congressional budget plan like the one agreed to by the House — is the single, best way to ensure fiscal discipline. These limits are more restrictive than the limits likely to be included in any new budget plan. With regard to taxes and entitlements, adoption of a new budget plan almost surely would weaken fiscal discipline rather than strengthen it."

During FY2016, the federal government spent $3.27 trillion on a budget or cash basis, up $18 billion or 1% vs. FY2015 spending of $3.25 trillion.

Expenditures averaged 20.3% GDP over the 1967-2016 period, generally ranging +/-2% GDP from that level.

Trusts involve a ‘trustee’, ‘settlor’ and ‘beneficiary’. Bare trusts Assets in a bare trust are held in the name of a trustee. However, the beneficiary has the right to all of the capital and income of the trust at any time if they’re 18 or over (in England and Wales), or 16 or over (in Scotland). This means the assets set aside by the settlor will always go directly to the intended beneficiary. Bare trusts are often used to pass assets to young people - the trustees look after them until the beneficiary is old enough. Example: You leave your sister some money in your will. The money is held in trust. Your sister is entitled to the money and any income (for example interest) it earns. She can also take possession of any of the money at any time."

"text": "In 2014, the federal government provided about $50 billion in housing assistance specifically designated for low-income households. That assistance—which is made available both through spending programs and preferential tax treatment—increased by about 15 percent in real (inflation-adjusted) terms between 2000 and 2003. Since that time, such assistance has remained relatively stable at about $50 billion annually (measured in 2014 dollars), with the exception of a temporary boost, mostly in 2010 and 2011, associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Unlike some means-tested programs (such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP) that are intended to assist all eligible people who apply, means-tested housing assistance has not been made available to all applicants who are eligible. Currently, only about one-quarter of the eligible low-income population receives housing assistance through federal spending programs. Households that receive assistance are generally required to pay 30 percent of their income toward their housing expenses, a threshold widely described as affordable. This CBO report discusses the ways in which the federal government provides housing assistance to low-income households, examines how that assistance has changed since 2000, and provides information about the households that receive assistance. In addition, the report assesses policy options for altering that assistance. Some options would provide substantial budgetary savings over the 2016–2025 period considered in CBO’s analysis and others would involve substantial costs. What Housing Assistance Does the Federal Government Provide?"

Forced heirship is generally a feature of civil-law legal systems which do not recognize total freedom of testation. Normally, the deceased's estate is in-gathered and wound up without discharging liabilities, which means accepting inheritance includes accepting the liabilities attached to inherited property. The forced estate is divided into shares which include the share of issue ( legitime or child's share) and the spousal share. This provides a minimum protection that cannot be defeated by will. The free estate, on the other hand, is at the discretion of a testator to be distributed by will on death to whomever he or she chooses. [ 2] Takers in the forced estate are known as forced heirs (Germ Pflichtteilserben, Noterben, Fr réservataires, It legittimari, Sp herederos forzosos ). The expression comes from Louisianan legal language and is ultimately borrowed from Spanish sucesión forzosa. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 History3 Louisiana4 See also5 Footnotes Overview [ edit]Forced heirship laws are most prevalent among civil law jurisdictions and in Islamic countries; these include major countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.

The two largest mandatory programs are Social Security and Medicare. That's 62 percent of all federal spending. It's also three times more than the military budget . Congress established mandatory programs under so-called authorization laws. These laws also mandated that Congress must appropriate whatever funds are needed to keep the programs running. The mandatory portion of the U. S. budget estimates how much it will cost to fulfill these authorization laws. These estimates are made by the Office of Management and Budget. Congress can only reduce the funding for these programs by changing the authorization law itself. That requires a 60-vote majority in the Senate to pass."

[ 1]A testamentary trust is created by a will and arises after the death of the settlor. An inter vivos trust is created during the settlor's lifetime by a trust instrument. A trust may be revocable or irrevocable; in the United States, a trust is presumed to be irrevocable unless the instrument or will creating it states it is revocable, except in California, Oklahoma and Texas, in which trusts are presumed to be revocable until the instrument or will creating them states they are irrevocable. An irrevocable trust can be \"\"broken\"\" (revoked) only by a judicial proceeding. Trusts and similar relationships have existed since Roman times. [ 2]The trustee is the legal owner of the property in trust, as fiduciary for the beneficiary or beneficiaries who is/are the equitable owner (s) of the trust property.

Where the discretionary trust is a testamentary trust, it is common for the settlor to leave a letter of wishes for the trustees to guide them as to the settlor's wishes in the exercise of their discretion.

"text": "Trusts What is a trust? A trust is an arrangement under which a person holds property or assets for the benefit of others. The person holding the asset or property is the trustee. The people or companies for whose benefit it is held are the beneficiaries. Unlike a company, a trust is not a separate legal entity, although it is treated as a separate entity when it comes to registering for tax. That means the trustee is liable for any of the trust’s debts, which is why many people choose to have a company as trustee. Trusts can be set up by deed during a person’s lifetime, or by will to take effect after the person’s death. Trusts established by will are known as testamentary trusts. Why set up a trust? There are many reasons someone would choose to set up a trust."

It occurs when the bones of the finger are moved (dislocated) from their normal position. A dislocated finger can occur in any of the joints of any finger, but it occurs most often in the middle knuckle of the little, ring, middle, or index finger. Causes of a Dislocated Finger A dislocated finger is caused by a \"\"jamming\"\" force to be applied to the end of the finger, or the finger may be forcefully overextended. Either of these situations, or a combination of both, can result in a dislocation. For example: During sports activities, a basketball or baseball may strike the tip of an outstretched finger. Your finger might get caught in equipment such as a game jersey or pads. You might fall onto your outstretched hand. Symptoms of a Dislocated Finger A dislocated finger is usually obvious.

"text": "Home Our Practice Services Providers Locations Jammed finger injuries range from simple jams to dislocation, fractures By Michael Dolan, M. D. One of the most common basketball or volleyball hand injuries is a jammed finger. This injury occurs from a blunt impact or forced motion to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) of the fingers. Fingers are comprised of three different joints. Each joint is supported by ligaments, called collateral ligaments. On the palm aspect of the joint is a structure called the volar plate. A jammed finger is generally a sprain or injury to one of these ligaments. Depending on the severity of the impact, which will stress the ligaments at your PIP, the varying degrees of this injury will range from a simple jam to a more serious finger fracture or dislocation. Back to Newsletters Back to Newsletter Stories As with all sprains, the severity of the injury can vary. First degree sprains are mild, involving a stretch but no tear of a ligament. A second degree sprain is a partial but not complete tear of a ligament."

"text": "When one of two bones that meet at a joint is knocked out of place, a dislocation has occurred. Usually caused by a blunt force or impact to a joint area, a dislocation can commonly be confused with a bone break due to the pain and relative symptoms. A bone that has been knocked out of its joint or socket can lead to ligament and nerve damage if not treated immediately. While any bone that is connected to a joint can become dislocated, common dislocations include shoulders, hips and fingers. Symptoms The first and foremost symptom of a dislocated bone is the inability or refusal to use it. A dislocated finger will restrict hand movement as that finger will not work, while shoulder and hip dislocations would constrict or eliminate movement of the arm and leg, respectively. Additionally, dislocations are usually accompanied by a great deal of pain and varied bruising. Dislocations will also be visibly out of joint or socket as the bone will be protruding and causing the skin around it to stretch and bulge. Treatments In any case of dislocation, it is important to receive medical treatment immediately. If the accident and dislocation does not affect the leg or the hip, then it is safe to move the victim, so long as no additional pressure or weight is added to the injury."

It there is any nerve damage then the dislocated finger may feel numb or tingly. Damage to blood vessels could result in the skin feeling cold and appear pale. Dislocated finger explained A finger dislocation can occur in any of the joints in the finger, but occurs most frequently in the middle joint, between the proximal and middle phalanges. The most common causes of this kind of injury include jamming the fingers between something, such as a door and its frame, or a ball and a bat. It may also happen from a force on the end of the finger, overextending the joint."

"text": "\"Answer by Robbb Confidence votes 100KArthritis and Cracking Knuckles The reason people associate knuckle-cracking with arthritis because it makes a cracking noise and, if something cracks, it must be being damaged. However, the truth is that nothing is being cracked. A joint is any place where the ends of two bones meet. Where the bones come together they have a covering of \"\"articular cartilage.\"\" This is surrounded by the \"\"joint capsule,\"\" inside of which there is synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the lubricant for the joint and also serves as a source of nutrients for the cells that look after the cartilage. Synovial fluid has dissolved oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide within it. When the right pressure is applied to a joint, the area inside the joint capsule expands. However, the expansion is limited by how much synovial fluid is contained in the joint. Synovial fluid cannot expand unless pressure inside the joint capsule drops and the dissolved gases can escape out of the fluid."

Form follows function in the hand; therefore, any injury to the underlying structures of the hand carries the potential for serious handicap. To reduce this risk, even the smallest hand injuries require proper medical evaluation. The goal with injuries to the hand is a rapid and accurate initial evaluation and treatment. In other words, once an injury occurs, the doctor strives to begin medical treatment quickly so the short- and long-term effects on the hand can be minimized. The hand consists of 27 bones (including the 8 bones of the wrist). When the other associated structures (nerves, arteries, veins, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint cartilage, and fingernails) are considered, the potential for a variety of injuries exists when trauma involves the hand. The most common cause of the injuries was blunt trauma, followed by injury from a sharp object. Hand Injury Causes Hand injuries can be divided into six general categories:lacerations (cuts),fractures and dislocations,soft tissue injuries and amputations,infections,burns, andhigh pressure injuries (grease and paint guns). Other common hand injuries includenail injuries,finger injuries,finger infection,wrist injuries, andbroken hand."

"text": "What Causes Hiccups After Eating?by AUGUST MCLAUGHLIN Oct. 19, 2017The diaphragm is a large muscle at the base of the lungs that contracts every time a person breathes in. As the diaphragm contracts, it becomes flatter. This allows the lungs to expand, causing air to be sucked in. Hiccups are involuntary contractions, or spasms, of the diaphragm. The distinctive hiccup sound is produced by closing of the vocal cords, which occurs almost immediately after the diaphragm starts to contract. Eating behaviors, food choices, air temperature changes and emotional stress are common causes of hiccups after eating. Hiccups that occur only after eating are generally little more than a nuisance. But if hiccups occur at other times as well, see your doctor, as they may indicate the presence of a serious medical condition. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Eating Too Much or Too Quickly Eating too much at one sitting is a common cause of hiccups. Overeating causes the stomach to expand and become distended."

Since the term ‘stomach’ and ‘abdomen’ are often used interchangeably in lay terms, stomach pressure may therefore also refer to abdominal pressure. Strictly speaking though, stomach pressure would refer to these sensations in the left upper abdominal quadrant. It is often difficult to isolate the sensation as being localized to the stomach itself since there are so many other organs and structures surrounding it in this quadrant. Usually the symptoms are believed to originate from the stomach when it occurs shortly after eating or drinking. Meaning of Stomach Pressure It is not uncommon for most people to use several common and descriptive terms to describe a range of sensations. ‘ Stomach pressure’ is one such example. Pressure could refer to a sensation of pushing in from the outside onto the stomach – a constricting type of sensation."

"text": "Causes of Upper and Lower Left Side Pain on Abdomen There can be many different causes for left side pain on abdomen. Be it IBS, food poisoning or kidney stones, see a doctor to get proper treatment. If you draw an imaginary line on the center of the abdomen, you can describe left side abdominal pain as the pain occurs on the left side of the abdomen. Left side abdominal pain can be caused both by organs and structures on the left section of the abdomen as well as those located away from the abdomen. Females are more likely to suffer from pain on left side of abdomen simply because they have more organs in this area. Keep reading to learn more information about it if you suffer from this pain often or occasionally. Organs in the Left Side Abdomen Organs in the Upper Left Side Abdomen The organs found in the upper left side abdomen include the spleen, a portion of the bowel or large intestines, part of the pancreas, a portion of the stomach and the left kidney as well as the skin, muscles and left lower ribs that cover these organs. The heart can be found just above this location. You are also able to find a portion of the left edge of the liver, the top portion of the left ureter, the top of the left lung's behind and the left side's adrenal gland. The aorta can also be found on this side in cases when it is distended."

In some cultures, eructation is recognized as good etiquette after having been served a meal.

"text": "Bladder distension is a medical condition in which the bladder is stretched. This is usually due to urinary retention, in which the patient is unable to urinate, but it can be artificially induced by doctors in order to conduct tests for interstitial cystitis. These tests inflate the bladder with water so that the doctor can insert a cytoscope to view the patient’s bladder wall. Bladder distension may be symptomatic of another medical condition and often presents with pain or discomfort and the urge to urinate, without the ability to do so. A patient will often complain of incontinence and leaking small amounts of urine, without relieving the urge to urinate. The bladder is an elastic, muscular organ located on top of the pelvic floor that stores urine from the kidney until it is ready to be excreted through the urethra. Generally, the urge to urinate is experienced when the bladder is twenty-five percent full. When the bladder becomes full, the muscles in the bladder contract and a sphincter opens to let the urine vacate through the urethra and out of the body. If the bladder fails to let urine out, it can lead to pain, excessive stretching, incontinence, tearing, rupture, and the passage of urine back into the ureters and into the kidneys. The more severe complications can lead to sepsis and kidney failure, so bladder distension should be brought to immediate medical attention."

Posted By: Katrina Cain on: January 18, 2010 In: Anatomy, Better Know a Body, Biology No Comments Print Email Share 0 Tweet Share 0 Share 0 Share 0Tweet Your entire digestive system. Your stomach is located at the end of your esophagus and is the terminus for swallowed food and drink. The stomach receives chewed food and continues to mechanically and chemically break it down into smaller pieces, creating more surface area for your small intestine to absorb nutrients. Your stomach is an acidic environment with a low p H of between 1 and 3. Parietal cells in the wall of the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). If your esophageal sphincter; basically the lid to your stomach; isn’t closed properly, HCl will creep into your esophagus resulting in heartburn. HCl has a few different jobs. One, is to kill bacteria or other potentially dangerous pathogens you may have unknowingly ingested with your food. Another is to convert pepsinogen into pepsin."

"text": "\"Intestinal Gas (Belching, Bloating, Flatulence)What causes belching? The ability to belch is almost universal. Belching, also known as burping, is the act of expelling gas from the stomach out through the mouth. The usual cause of belching is a distended (inflated) stomach caused by swallowed air. The distention of the stomach causes abdominal discomfort, and the belching expels the air and relieves the discomfort. The common reasons for swallowing large amounts of air (aerophagia) are gulping food or drink too rapidly, anxiety, and carbonated beverages. People are often unaware that they are swallowing air. \"\" Burping\"\" infants during bottle or breast feeding is important in order to expel air in the stomach that has been swallowed with the formula or milk. Excessive air in the stomach is not the only cause of belching. For some people, belching becomes a habit and does not reflect the amount of air in their stomachs."

"text": "Why is my stomach so bloated?| By admin | Add a Comment Bloated stomach is a condition wherein the stomach feels tight and distended even without taking in any food. Some people develop it as a result of an underlying medical condition. Affected individuals may feel stomach tightness after a meal or several hours thereafter. Some do not experience additional symptoms aside from stomach bloating, while others have more unpleasant symptoms that accompany bloating. A bloated stomach is typically relieved by belching or releasing gas and defecating. The condition can be managed by making dietary changes and observing proper eating habits. However, stomach bloating may require medical consultation if it appears with unpleasant and disturbing symptoms. Recurrent bouts of stomach bloating also need careful diagnosis to rule out any underlying cause and avoid complications. Sponsored link Causes of a bloated stomach Stomach bloating refers to the abdominal swelling that occurs as a result of excess gas and fluids that have accumulated in the abdomen, causing the waist’s diameter to increase. There are several reasons why this occurs and the most common are: Constipation Constipation causes the stomach to swell due to accumulated feces."

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Drinking soda isn't just associated with weight gain, but also the increase of esophageal cancer in the U. S. A strong correlation between the rise in carbonated soft drinks consumption in the past 20 years and the increasing rates of cancer in the United States was found by researchers at Tata Memorial Hospital in India. Consumption of carbonated soft drinks rose by more than 450 percent, from 10.8 gallons per year in 1946 to 49.2 gallons per year in 2000. At the same time, during the last 25 years, rates of esophageal cancer have increased more than 570-percent among American white males. How Soda Causes Heartburn, and Possibly Cancer There is a biological link between soft drink consumption and increased gastric pressure, which can result in increased reflux. And recurring acid reflux is the most important risk factor for adenocarcinoma — a type of cancer that forms in mucus-secreting glands — in the esophagus. Carbonated soft drinks are related to gastric distension, which can trigger reflux. \"\" If you drink a quarter of a liter of water, your stomach distends by a quarter of a liter, but if it's a carbonated drink, your stomach may distend to maybe half a liter,\"\" says study co-author Mohandas Mallath, MBBS, MD, head of the digestive diseases department at Tata Memorial Hospital. \"\" This causes reflux — the acid of the stomach is thrown back into the food pipe. \"\" However, it may not just be the carbonation of the soda that causes the reflux."

"text": "What Causes My Stomach to Bloat After Eating?by CORINNA UNDERWOOD Dec. 19, 2017Bloating, which is a sense of feeling gassy or distended, is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints. This symptom may occur after eating, and is often linked to consuming large amounts, swallowing air, or eating foods that are either gas forming or incompletely digested. Countering the symptom can be a challenge, as bloating can also be related to an underlying medical condition. If you experience bloating after eating, and changes to your diet do not improve symptoms, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Eating Habits Overeating can stretch your stomach beyond its normal capacity, causing your upper abdomen to feel full and distended. Since fat digestion is slow compared to other nutrients, eating a high fat meal can further aggravate your symptoms, causing your stomach to feel full for a longer period of time. Another common cause of bloating is swallowed air, typically caused by eating too quickly, drinking carbonated beverages, drinking through a straw, or chewing gum. This swallowed air causes the stomach to enlarge, creating discomfort until burping or intestinal gas relieve these symptoms. Carbohydrates Bloating can also be linked to the intestinal fermentation of certain carbohydrates, such as beans, whole grains and certain fruits and vegetables, and the gas your gut bacteria makes from these foods. This fermentation in the gut also causes more fluid to be pulled into the intestines, leading to gas, bloating, cramping and diarrhea."

"text": "\"How Much Does a Divorce Cost? Tweet Because divorces can range from very simple legal matters to very complex ones, it's impossible to provide a universal answer to the question, \"\"How much does a divorce cost?\"\" The cost of your divorce will vary, depending on a number of factors. Here are some rules of thumb: An uncontested divorce will usually cost less than a contested divorce If you and your spouse are on good terms with one another, your divorce will cost less than if you disagree about key issues Divorces that involve minor children usually cost more than divorces with no children or with adult children If you and your spouse have a lot of community property and cannot agree how to divide it, your divorce will probably cost more money If one spouse is requesting alimony, your divorce costs may increase Estimating the Legal Costs of Divorce Attorneys bill for their work in several different ways, including charging clients by the hour and charging a flat fee for legal work that's performed. Most lawyers prefer to charge an hourly fee for work that is unpredictable in nature. Flat fee agreements are more common for simple tasks with a clearly defined scope, such as writing a will. If you have a simple, uncontested divorce that doesn't involve spousal support or child custody issues, you may be able to hire an attorney for a flat fee. Similarly, if you only hire an attorney to handle certain parts of your divorce--such as reviewing a custody agreement--you may be able to negotiate a flat fee. But if you want to hire an attorney to handle a more complicated divorce from start to finish, you'll almost certainly be charged an hourly rate. An attorney's hourly rate will vary depending on a number of factors, including the attorney's experience, the type of legal work being performed and the part of the country in which you live."

"text": "\"Mark Keenan Thread by Mark Keenan Administrator Staff Member Joined: Dec 22, 2010Messages: 4,508Likes Received: 0How much does a divorce in the UK actually cost if you both agree? Regardless of how you decide to deal with your divorce, there are mandatory court-filing fees to pay that are currently £550. This fee is for the courts staff to process your divorce and since March 21st 2016, it also covers your decree absolute application. This means that even if you decide to handle your entire divorce process yourself, you will still be required to pay the court fee unless you are eligible for help through a scheme called ‘fee exemption’. How much your divorce costs can also be reduced, if you are on a low income or receive certain benefits such as income support, income based jobseekers allowance or employment and support allowance you should not be required to pay the full court fee or any at all. Before deciding to start your divorce, it is advisable to check the fee remission rules as this could dramatically reduce the cost of your divorce if you are eligible for fee remission. Typical costs associated with using high street divorce solicitors You often hear figures being quoted in the media in the thousands of pounds and this genuinely scares people. The answer to the question of how much does a divorce cost is often \"\"how long is a piece of string\"\", especially when you ask the question of your average high street solicitor who mostly do not charge fixed fees for a divorce. Most solicitors will still charge you by the hour, with the average rate being £150-£200 per hour. They charge using \"\"unit time\"\" and each unit is normally 6 minutes."

"text": "Share0Share0Tweet0+10Share How Much Does A Divorce Cost In Michigan How Much Does A Divorce Cost In Michigan Share In most counties in Michigan, the filing fee for a petition requesting a divorce is $150. An extra $80 fee will probably be charged if any children are involved. The simplest, least expensive kinds of divorces are those in which the other spouse waives their right to contest the separation and both parties can submit a written agreement regarding issues such as:• Discharging debts• Shared health insurance• Child custody arrangements• Visitation rights• Child support payments• Alimony payments• Division of shared property If a couple can agree to terms privately, it is relatively simple to complete the petition for a divorce, acting in a “pro se” capacity as your own legal counsel. In this case, a lawyer’s expenses will not add to the cost, nor will the expense of filing an official response to the divorce petition. In some cases, a couple may wish to separate without technically divorcing on religious grounds or to continue sharing health insurance. A legally binding “legal separation” agreement can be arranged by a lawyer resolving all the issues handled in a divorce. This procedure is generally less expensive than a divorce. If no arrangement can be agreed upon, it may still be possible to avoid the expense of hiring a lawyer to represent you in court. The couple may agree to share the expense for hiring a lawyer specializing in mediation, who will attempt to help the couple resolve their differences. The expense of arriving at an agreement can be worthwhile if both parties are confident they can act in good faith."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money How Much Does a Divorce Cost in Missouri?by Beverly Bird; Updated July 27, 2017According to the Missouri Bar, you're liable for your attorney’s fees whether you like the result your divorce lawyer gets for you or not. Your legal costs can skyrocket if you find yourself in the middle of a bitter divorce fight, and if you go to trial because you and your spouse can’t reach a settlement, a judge makes the ultimate decisions regarding custody, property and support. The overall cost of a divorce in Missouri is usually commensurate with how quickly and easily spouses can agree on the terms of the divorce. Attorney’s Fees According to Lawyers.com, the average hourly rate for an American attorney is $284 as of 2011. It’s slightly less in the Midwest: an average of $264 per hour. Generally, a solo practitioner or a lawyer with few partners charges less than a lawyer practicing with a large firm. It's illegal for divorce lawyers to work on a contingency basis. They usually require a retainer agreement and bill their time against your retainer fee, or down payment, in either six-minute or 15-minute intervals. A complex divorce involving pretrial motions can require 100 hours or more of your attorney’s time. At $264 per hour, that’s more than $26,000."

Please answer a few questions to help us match you with attorneys in your area. Marital status Divorce in Mississippi is governed by a series of rules that dictate how the process for divorce must work, what the legal reasons are for getting a divorce, and what happens to property and children in the event of a divorce. It's important to understand that many of these rules apply when the court must make decisions on these issues for you. However, if you split your property out of court, for example, you don't necessarily need to apply the same standards or formulas that courts use, as long as you and your spouse can agree on a resolution. Still, if you're considering a divorce in Mississippi, it's important to become familiar with Mississippi's divorce rules, so you can understand your legal rights before entering into a divorce settlement.

"text": "\"Single Mum.com.au Exclusive by Regular Contributor Poppy Matters - Lawyer All About Divorce: What it costs, how long it takes ...and some common misconceptions The Australian divorce process Poppy Matters, Lawyer, for Single Mum.com.au | 20 April 2012 Share Divorce is... the legal dissolution of a marriage that has been recognised in Australia It has a finite legal meaning and relates only to the dissolution of a marriage and not the potential surrounding issues of property settlements and custody arrangements. Changes to the Family Law Act in 1975 made 'no fault' Divorce possible and altered the law such that there is now only one ground for Divorce recognised by Australian courts, which is citing \"\"irreconcilable differences\"\". Historically the reason for Divorce could impact upon any ensuing property or custody settlement outcome � for example an adulterer may have been given a smaller piece of the matrimonial property pool. This is no longer the case. Besides from the issue of violence or abuse, the court now does not take into account the reason the marriage broke down when deciding on matters around property and children. Is a Divorce Right for You? A Divorce is right for you if you and your spouse no longer wish to continue your marriage and either you or your spouse or both of you: Have been parties to a legal marriage recognised in Australia;Currently regard Australia as your home and intend to live in Australia indefinitely; or Are an Australian citizen by birth, descent or by grant of Australian citizenship; or Ordinarily live in Australia and have done so for 12 months immediately before filing for Divorce;If there are children aged under 18, proper arrangements have been made for their care; and Have lived separately for at least 12 months and one day and there is no reasonable likelihood of you resuming married life. NB: It is possible to live together in the same home and still be separated. How to Apply for a Divorce: To apply for a Divorce, you must complete an Application for Divorce and file it with the Federal Magistrates Court and pay the Application fee of $800. You can file for Divorce jointly with your spouse or on your own."

"text": "By Laura Seldon for Gal Time.com When Madonna divorced Guy Ritchie in 2008, she reportedly settled with the famous filmmaker for $75 million as part of their divorce agreement. That’s nothing, however, compared to Mel Gibson’s $425 million divorce from Robyn Moore Gibson in 2011. Topping the list of expensive divorces though is Rupert Murdoch’s $1.7 billion split from former wife Anna Murdoch in 1999. Not surprisingly, these numbers are extraordinarily high for these high profile entertainers and business moguls. Still, anyone who has ever been through a divorce can tell you it’s expensive for anyone at any financial level. So, how much does the average divorce really cost? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t a simple one. Breaking Down the Costs: While there may still be plenty of ads promoting a “Quick and Easy Divorce for $299,” that price is usually for couples who have already agreed on the terms of their divorce and just need a lawyer to sign off. Bruce Cameron of Cameron Law PLLC in Rochester, Minn. says the generally accepted figure is anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. “ Basically it costs as much to get unmarried as it does to get married,” says Cameron."

In addition to legally ending your marriage, the court looks at other issues which need to be decided before the divorce becomes final.2. Is divorce my only option? No. Married couples may choose to live apart from each other, but remain married, for religious, personal, or financial reasons, or for the sake of the children.

Most people say that a divorce will cost anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. So what fees can you expect: attorney fees, court costs, costs for parent education classes, fees for neutral evaluations and mediation costs. If there’s real estate involved you’ll have to factor in refinancing costs and record deed fees. And, of course, living in a more popular/higher-income area will make divorce more expensive. Here are a few tricks to keep your costs low:— Know what you’re agreeing to. Or ask one of us to clarify!"

A divorce, also called a “dissolution of marriage” by the courts, is a way of legally ending a marriage.

"text": "Nursing, research, and the evidence Why has research-based practice become so important and why is everyone talking about evidence-based health care? But most importantly, how is nursing best placed to maximise the benefits which evidence-based care can bring? Research has been used to legitimise nursing as a profession, education has been radically reformed to reflect a research base, and academic nurses have built their careers around it. However, despite the length of time that research has been on the agenda and the influential bodies involved, only a moderate proportion of nurses use research as a basis for practice. 1 What has gone wrong? Part of the difficulty is that although nurses perceive research positively, 2 they either cannot access the information, or cannot judge the value of the studies which they find. 3 This journal has evolved as a direct response to the dilemma of practitioners who want to use research, but are thwarted by overwhelming clinical demands, an ever burgeoning research literature, and for many, a lack of skills in critical appraisal. Evidence-Based Nursing should therefore be exceptionally useful, and its target audience of practitioners is a refreshing move in the right direction. The worlds of researchers and practitioners have been separated by seemingly impenetrable barriers for too long. 4Tiptoeing in the wake of the movement for evidence-based medicine, however, we must ensure that evidence-based nursing attends to what is important for nursing."

Open Document Introduction The processes of life were being born, growing old, having illness, and death. In our life, we suffered from different sickness. It was a good reason for the absent from school, work or other daily working activities. However, in the view of a sociologist, the people who were in the sick role, they were regarded as having committed a crime and it was treated as deviant behavior (Peter & Meredith, 1998). In the structural functional model, people took various tasks and role in society or in different institutions. These were dependable with the structures and norms of the society. Did sickness have any effective elements in society? This paper would describe the concept of sick role and the application in the nursing practice (Parson, 1979). Concept of sick role Talcott Parsons (1902 – 1979) was a famous American sociologist and a structural functionalist. He developed a general theoretical system for analyzing the society."

Facebook Pinterest Email Pregnancy is full of changes. Your body changes, your emotions are all over the place, and even your house changes to accommodate all of the \"\"necessary\"\" baby accessories. One of the less common changes – but one with potentially big impact – is changing your doctor or midwife. If the prenatal care you're receiving isn't meeting your needs or if your care provider doesn't support your preferences for birth, consider switching to a new practice. Finding a new doctor or midwife, even if you're in your third trimester, isn't as difficult as you may think. Why would you switch? Your choice of care provider has a significant impact on your birth, affecting both the health and safety of you and your baby, as well as the satisfaction and enjoyment of your experience. While there is a standard code of ethics and guidelines in obstetrical care, care providers practice differently. Some have unusually high rates of induction and cesarean; some are more experienced in supporting natural or low-intervention births while others prefer a more medicalized management of birth; some do a wonderful job of involving you in your care while others do not."

Nurses Are Not Doctors So the NY Times opinion piece that “ Nurses Are Not Doctors “, penned by Dr. Sandeep Jauhar, author of Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician, resonated with me. The fact that 17 states have legislated nurse practitioners the right to practice primary care medicine without physician oversight is very worrisome. There is a primary care crisis. We do need more primary care providers. Though nurse practitioners can fulfill some of the demand they cannot do so without doctor oversight.

"text": "\"Medicare, Medicare Supplement Insurance, & Nursing Home Care Government benefits programs all seem to have one thing in common: they’re confusing. Medicare is certainly no exception, particularly as it relates to coverage for nursing home costs. There are two different government programs that can potentially pay for nursing home costs, which are fundamentally different but easily confused because Congress, in its great wisdom, chose to give them confusingly similar names: Medicare and Medicaid. So similar are those names that even “seasoned professionals” like social workers, nursing home staff, medical personnel, and, yes, even elder law attorneys, sometimes say the one when they mean the other. Here are the most fundamental general differences between Medicare and Medicaid: Medicare in an insurance program; Medicaid is a welfare program. Medicare coverage extends pretty much automatically to everyone age 65 or older; Medicaid is available only to those who qualify and apply. Eligibility for Medicare does not depend on how much assets or income a person has; eligibility for Medicaid is “means-tested,” and depends directly on those things. Medicare is strictly a federal program and the rules are the same everywhere in the United States: Medicaid is a combined federal and state program, and the rules vary from state to state. There are also some important fundamental differences between the two programs with regard to the coverage each may provide for nursing home costs. The most important of those differences are as follows: Medicare pays only for “skilled care”; Medicaid also pays for “custodial care”."

I’d like to thank all those readers of The Health Care Blog (THCB) for their comments. Thank you to all the doctors for sharing their viewpoints and their voice. While many comments were indeed honest, they certainly were strong opinions and the readers did not hold back their feelings. While some comments were rather harsh, I commend those readers for commenting. It was disconcerting that more nurses did not comment; however what’s more worrisome is the fact that a key nursing organization, American Association of Colleges of Nursing did not respond to my request as well as Yale University, which is one of the many universities offering a DNP program.

SENIOR SECTIONAL EDITORupdated September 6, 2017The cost of liposuction ranges from $2,000 to $3,500 per treatment region, not including the cost of anesthesia and other fees. Liposuction, or the surgical removal of fat deposits, is one of the most common plastic surgery treatments performed today. In fact, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that nearly a quarter million Americans underwent liposuction in 2014. There are several different methods of performing liposuction, and it can be administered as a standalone treatment, or in conjunction with procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast lift, face lift, and most body contouring treatments. The way our bodies respond to a disciplined and healthy lifestyle is often \"\"unfair.\"\" In other words, many of us commit to vigorous regular workouts at the gym and nutritious, balanced diets, only to be left with fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and other areas. The desire to achieve a lean and attractive body tone in spite of the body's refusal to respond the way we want drives hundreds of thousands each year to seek surgical intervention in order to achieve their goals. I recently performed liposuction for Tara, 49, an active woman who wanted to rejuvenate her figure. \"\" Diet and exercise were not enough at this juncture in my life,\"\" Tara said. \"\" I wanted to look - and, more importantly - feel better about my appearance both in and out of my clothes."

"text": "Health Ethics Intentions & Results In ethical reasoning we value acting with a good intention and achieving the best outcome. When these arguments clash, we become creative. For instance, we generally believe doctors should tell a patient the truth. But a doctor may lie to encourage a patient, because the doctor believes having hope may contribute to the patient’s recovery. If our intention is good and no one seems to be harmed, we often think a lie is right as well as best.__________________________________________Empathy & Reason Neuroscience has confirmed that we have evolved the capacity for empathy and have mirror neurons that enable us to feel the emotions we see in others. We also have evolved the mental ability to use reason to weigh the possible consequences of taking an action, which enables us to make the choice that seems to offer the best possible outcome.__________________________________________Acting, Being & Predicting Having good intentions involves being concerned with taking the right action or being a good person, or both. Being responsible for the practical outcome of our actions involves weighing the likely consequences of the possible choices we have, and then acting in the way that we predict will have the best possible outcome.__________________________________________Ethical Traditions Philosophers and theologians have developed these arguments into ethical traditions. Deontological ethics concerns doing what is right, whereas teleological ethics is about our intention to be good persons in a good society. Consequential ethics considers what practical choice will lead to the best possible results.__________________________________________Ethical Reasoning The four words above the horizontal line represent intrinsic ethical values. We should do our duty and respect the rights of others, because we affirm these actions are intrinsically right."

"text": "\"What is Forensic Nursing? Forensic nursing, one of the newest specialty areas recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA), is gaining momentum nationally and internationally. Forensic nursing practice is, according to the International Association of Forensic Nurses, (IAFN), the \"\"application of nursing science to public or legal proceedings.\"\" Forensic nurses investigate real and potential causes of morbidity and mortality in a variety of settings. Responsibilities range from collecting evidence from perpetrators and survivors of violent crime to testifying in court as a fact witness (someone who saw a situation firsthand) or an expert witness (someone who offers an opinion of a particular situation). Forensic nurses understand evidence collection, such as forensic photography, for subsequent legal and civil proceedings and are the \"\"bridge between the criminal justice system and the health care system.\"\" Skills of the forensic nurse include but are not limited to: observation, documentation, and preservation of evidence, all critical in determining the legal outcome of violent crimes. The largest subspecialty of forensic nursing is sexual assault, closely followed by death investigation, forensic psychiatric nursing and medical-legal consulting. What is the Importance of Forensic Nursing? Borrowing on their training and experience in observation as a part of their caregiving role, the forensic nurse has the unique position of being a qualified medical professional trained to observe, recognize, collect and appropriately document evidence that ultimately becomes foundational to establishing the legal causation and responsibility for traumatic injury."

I assume they are licensed to practice medicine, but they do not sign LP (licensed physician).] Well the original question was about nurses, not doctors. I don't think we need to compare ourselves to doctors. That said... The way I see it, we apply for a license to practice either as an RN or LPN after we finish an accredited program.

The middle 50% of gastroenterologists reported a salary between $282,000 and $401,000 per year or $136 and $192 per hour. Many factors determine how much a gastroenterologist will make. Their earnings will depend on years of experience, geographical location of work, type of establishment and skill level. In addition to their base salary, gastroenterologists also have very attractive benefits. Benefits such as social security, pension, 401K, paid time off, health benefits and bonuses can mean that, the median total compensation package for a gastroenterologist is about $443,000 per annum.

"text": "It Is a Mistake to Call a Nurse Practitioner a Nurse I do not like it when people call me a Nurse. I liked it when I was a Nurse, but for more than 17 years now I’ve been a Nurse Practitioner. The two titles are NOT interchangeable and the duties and responsibilites are NOT the same. As a Nurse Practitioner I’m often asked “What should I call you?“. Doctors are addressed as “Doctor”, but if your doctor is a Nurse Practitioner, how should you address that person? Call Me Carla, Just Don’t Call Me Late to Dinner My patients are often not sure what to call me. When they ask me, I say “just call me Carla”. That’s my name. When patients call me Ms. Mills, it makes me feel like some stiff and formal version of myself - and that is not who I am as a health care provider. On the other hand, if you are my dry cleaner and just lost my best pair of black slacks, you will find Ms. Mills works a lot better for you."

I was just wondering just in case he got his paws on some if I should freak out or not.2 following 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: they can, but its definitely not healthy for them. doughnuts are mainly sugar and flour. dogs don't digest food exactly the same as us. grains, and flour, and sugar are just fillers for a dog, they run right through them, and sometimes stick in between. maybe just one little bite (if you just HAD too) yeah right... but i wouldnt recommend it. other foods to stay away from: chocolate (odviously) (its high in lethobromine and caffeine, effects nervous system and heart) grapes (i heard?) ( and raisins can cause kidney failure) pork/ham (can cause diarreha, negative effects on digestive tract) bones (mostly chicken bones, and splinters and such) onions (and garlic, affect red blood cells, in large quantities may cause your dog to become anemic) mushrooms (contain toxins which can cause comas even)Annie · 9 years ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating Not dangerous, But not healthy either."

Synestia's are massive, spinning, donut-shaped masses of hot, vaporized rock formed as planet-sized objects smash into each other. At one point, Earth was likely a synestia too, says a co-author of the research.+2Researchers at the University of California, Davis and Harvard University modeled what would happen if Earth-sized rocky planets collided with other large objects with high energy and angular momentum. They found that this type of collision between planet-sized bodies could form a new, much larger structure - an indented disk like a red blood cell or a donut with the center filled in called a synestia. Pictured (A) is a planet to scale, and (B) is a planet and disk to scale. ( C) shows a synestia to scale - which is much larger than aforementioned structures WHAT IS A SYNESTIA? Researchers at the University of California, Davis and Harvard University modeled what would happen if Earth-sized rocky planets collided with other large objects with high energy and angular momentum. ' We looked at the statistics of giant impacts, and we found that they can form a completely new structure,' said Dr Sarah Stewart, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. The researchers found that this type of collision between planet-sized bodies could form a new, much larger structure - an indented disk like a red blood cell or a donut with the center filled in called a synestia. Synestia comes from 'syn' which means 'together' in Greek, and 'Estia,' - a Greek goddess of architecture and structures."

"text": "\"During the course of a week, I receive a number of emails asking if a goat can be tied or tethered. Since this is a fairly common question, I felt that it would be a good idea to write up a short article on the subject. To begin with, I generally advise against using tethers, ropes, chains, etc. for controlling goats. While it can be done successfully if well planned, it can be disastrous if not planned and detailed for every possible item of failure. A good understanding of goat behavior is essential. This is not as difficult as it may sound and will not require years of college courses to grasp the basics. Simply watch your goats - the goats you wish to tie out that is. Goats that behave erratically, such as those kind of goats that run or bolt at the drop of a hat are not good candidates. On the other hand, some goats are as gentle as a spring rain and will allow an owner to pet and lavish them with affection at will."

Hygromas most commonly develop on the outside of the elbow. They can also occur on the hip and hock. Hygromas are initially small, soft, and fluctuant and do not pose a problem for the dog. They may be present for the dog's life time. In some instances, they may become quite large, up to 2 inches in diameter, or very hard. Hygromas can become infected in which case they are painful, sometimes warm to the touch, and may develop draining tracts. What causes a hygroma?

The change came about because on July 1, New York City’s ban on styrofoam finally took effect, and Dunkin’ Donuts had no choice but to comply. Those same cups could soon find their way into stores across the country. Dunkin’ Donuts sent The Huffington Post a statement explaining that they’re already being tested in selected locations in Massachusetts, Vermont and California. The company is also exploring other materials, such as paper, with the goal of phasing out styrofoam in 2016. Given that Dunkin’ Donuts sells 30 cups of coffee every second of the day, that could have a huge impact on the nation’s landfills."

So much so in fact, that the blood can almost turn milky after a large meal, especially if it is filled with foods high in triglycerides. This is why people who are having blood work done in order to test triglycerides levels are told to fast the night before so that testing can be done accurately. Some foods are more likely to cause this than other foods, and unfortunately some triglycerides spiking culprits are common and delicious everyday fare. Not all foods that can raise the levels of these blood fats actually contain triglycerides. Some of them simply can cause their levels to become elevated in a hurry. Trans fats containing foods may be no-brainers, but there are several surprises that most people may not link to elevated triglycerides. That is why we have put together this list of the top ten foods high in triglycerides to avoid in order to better understanding what can raise the levels of these fats in the blood. The foundation of a triglyceride lowering diet is cutting out foods that can raise their abundance in the bloodstream and it is one of the most important parts to managing and potentially reversing the condition. So please check out this list of the top ten blood fat boosting foods worth avoiding if managing triglycerides is on your to do list:1."

Veterinary radiologist James Sutherland-Smith, BVSc, DACVR, greets a dog who is about to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at Tufts's Foster Hospital for Small Animals. Rocky was rushed to Tufts’s small animal hospital in the middle of the night. The 2-year-old Brittany spaniel was coping with extreme discomfort and dehydration and had now started vomiting. To find out quickly what was wrong — maybe Rocky had an intestinal blockage that needed to be repaired immediately so he wouldn’t die — the emergency veterinarian had to decide what kind of picture to get of his gastrointestinal tract, where the problem was suspected. Would the young dog be best served by a set of x-rays, which would cost in the neighborhood of $100 to $200, or would he need, say, an ultrasound, which would perhaps triple or quadruple the cost? Everybody has heard of x-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and other types of medical imaging — most of us have had at least one of them ourselves at one point or another. But few know exactly what each type of image captures, and when each is called for. Here’s a run-down."

"text": "INTRODUCTIONPessaries offer a safe, non-surgical option for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The aim of treatment in the management of POP is to decrease the frequency and severity of prolapse symptoms and to avert or delay the need for surgery. 1 Pessary use may prevent worsening of the prolapse. 2 Success rates, defined as continued pessary use in women who have a pessary fitted, range from 56 to 89% at 2–3 months 3, 4, 5, and 56– 68% at 6– 12 months after insertion. 6, 7 Many women continue to use a pessary for life. Besides POP, pessaries can also be used to treat urinary incontinence, 8, 9 neonatal prolapse, 10 vaginal wind 11, 12 and to control symptoms of prolapse and incontinence during pregnancy. While it is not possible to establish a global perspective of the full extent of pessary use, a survey of the members of the American Urogynecologic Society showed that 75% of surgeon members used pessaries as first-line therapy for POP. No clear consensus emerged regarding the type of pessary or indication for their use by these surgeons. 1, 13 In the UK, a recent postal survey demonstrated that 87% of consultants (physicians) use vaginal pessaries for management of POP. 14INDICATIONSTraditionally vaginal pessaries have been used as a treatment option for those with co-morbid medical conditions, those who still wish to bear children, as interim relief prior to surgery and for those who prefer non-surgical treatment."

Seriously, recent Pew Research Center data showed that 50 million Americans are served fast food every day. And since we spend a damn good chunk of our time here at Thrillist writing about and tasting fast food, we began to wonder which states do it best, and which leave much to be desired when looking for quick eats. To find out, we ranked every state by the fast-food options available there, concentrating on a variety of factors, including: 1) The big chains (Burger King, KFC, etc.) that began there 2) The regional ones (Whataburger, Culver’s) that also originated there 3) The cool, little chains just in that state 4) The variety of choices and presence of enviable franchises 5) The deliciousness and uniqueness of their options in general Recommended Video Guides The Most Overlooked Mediterranean Paradise in Europe Watch More We also created a set of criteria to determine which places were fair game: there had to be counter service, food had to generally take between 1-8 minutes to prepare, and there had to be at least three locations for a place to be considered a chain. Also, no pizza. Stop calling pizza fast food, even if it's hot and/or ready. Clearly this ranking is based on science, math, technology, and hard facts (and maybe our extremely correct opinions), but hey, if you disagree or think we missed something, throw down in the comments. It'll give us something to eat next time we visit.50.

Learn the signs of a stroke as well as a few conditions that produce symptoms similar to a stroke. About Dogs and Strokes A stroke is a condition that interrupts the normal blood flow in the brain, and it can be caused by a ruptured vessel or a blood clot. This results in the death of brain cells, and it can affect your dog in many ways. However, the first thing you need to know is that strokes are far rarer in dogs than they are in people. In most cases, the symptoms that may appear to be caused by a stroke are actually due to some other condition. The good news is that dogs often recover from a stroke far more easily than most people, so it's not a totally hopeless situation if your dog actually does have a stroke. Question: How Can I Tell If My Dog Had a Stroke? The following signs could be indicators that your dog has had a stroke, but keep in mind that you'll need a proper diagnosis from your vet to determine exactly what's wrong with your pet."

Learn the symptoms and appropriate responses for both seizures and strokes so you can help your pooch if needed. Causes Seizures and strokes have different root causes in dogs, as they do in humans. A seizure is the result of electrical malfunction in the brain, when an electrical storm in the brain causes seizure symptoms. If your dog has repeated seizures over time, your veterinarian might diagnose canine epilepsy. Epilepsy can have a genetic basis, or can result from injury to the brain or chemical imbalance. Seizures also can be caused by strokes, although the root cause of a stroke is physical rather than electrical. A stroke is caused when an artery becomes blocked, or bleeding occurs within the brain.

Credit: Pills photo via Shutterstock Aspirin is a pain reducer available in both prescription and non-prescription forms. It works by stopping the production of natural substances that cause pain, swelling, fever or blood clots. Aspirin is a part of salicylate drug group and is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is sometimes found in combination with other antacids, pain relievers or cold medication. Non-prescription aspirin is commonly used to lessen mild-to-moderate pain caused by headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, colds, menstrual cramps or arthritis. It is also often used to reduce fever. Additionally, aspirin can be a preventive medicine for a variety of ailments, including heart attacks, some strokes, and blood clots in patients with artificial heart valves.

This would generally be between 400g and 600g of kibble divided into two meals a day. High quality kibble costs between £20.00 and £30.00 for a 15kg bag. Most breeders and vets do not recommend adding supplements to high quality dog food. How big are they ? Dogs range from 63-69cms (25-27 ins) at the shoulder and weigh between 40kg and 50kg. Bitches range between 58-63.5cms (23-25 ins) at the shoulder and weight between 32kg and 40kg.

"text": "Share This!Cardiac Muscle The body contains three different types of muscle. The first, called skeletal muscle, is the muscle type we usually think about when we mention muscles. Skeletal muscles provide locomotion and movement- the biceps muscle to move our arms, or the quadriceps muscles to move our legs. These muscles perform their action due to conscious control of our brains. Your arm does not automatically shoot a free throw until you tell it to do so (even when Dr. P tells his arm to shoot the free throw it doesn’t always work as planned). The second type of muscle is called smooth muscle. Smooth muscles tend to perform their functions automatically without any conscious thought on our part. You don’t tell them what to do, they do it on their own, under the control of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The muscles that surround arteries to make them constrict or dilate are smooth muscles. The muscles of the intestines that push the food along (a process called peristalsis) are made of smooth muscle."

This week, we’ll cover cats and what causes their “acute strokes.” Unfortunately, the causes of “acute stroke” in cats are not often benign as compared to dogs, and are often due to underlying disease. It’s scary to see your cat suddenly not be able to walk, look drunk, fall over to his or her side, have a head tilt, or act neurologically inappropriate (e.g., seizure).

"text": "How to Effectively Use Dormant Oil What is dormant oil? Dormant oil refers more to when the oil has traditionally been applied rather than what it is made of. Newer dormant oil formulations are typically refined from petroleum oil, such as mineral oil. Unlike home remedies, they also contain an emulsifier to help water mix with the oil, which will provide more complete coverage of plant surfaces. Dormant oil may also be labeled as horticultural, superior or all-seasons oil; keep reading for more on this. How does dormant oil work? Dormant oils were first utilized to control insect pests on fruit trees, where an effective control that wasn’t harmful to pollinators and was safe for ingestion by humans was needed. The oil covers leaf and limb surfaces, suffocating insects and some insect eggs, which reduces harmful insect populations. It may also interfere with insect feeding. Dorman oils don’t leave a toxic residue and dissipate quickly, making them ideal for use on blooming plants that will have pollinators arrive later during the growing season."

This rose has single-handedly changed the market for roses since its introduction, and it has ushered in a whole new way to look at roses and use them in our landscapes. View full size Kenneth Harrison / The Times-Picayune Its outstanding characteristics are well-documented: excellent disease resistance, more frequent reblooming, showy clusters of single, cherry-red flowers, dark green, attractive foliage and a shrubby growth habit that works well in the landscape. Knock Out roses tend to be used in landscape plantings like any other shrub, along with many other excellent rose cultivars in the landscape rose and old garden rose categories. They play that role very well. As a result, many gardeners who have never grown roses have planted one of the cultivars in the family of Knock Out roses, including Knock Out, Pink Knock Out, Blushing Knock Out, Sunny Knock Out, Double Knock Out, Pink Double Knock Out and Rainbow Knock Out. Given the long history of roses needing special care -- notably the hybrid tea and grandiflora cultivars -- people naturally wonder if there is anything special that needs to be done for their Knock Out roses. The short answer is no. You will, on occasion, see problems such as black spot and yellowing leaves. Powdery mildew may show up during ideal weather conditions."

In our Tansley review 'Seed dormancy and the control of germination' ( Finch-Savage and Leubner-Metzger, 2006) we present an integrated view across the evolution, molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry, modelling and ecophysiology of the control of seed germination by dormancy in an attempt to draw together these linked, but often separate disciplines. D efinition of seed dormancy: A more sophisticated and experimentally useful definition of dormancy has been proposed by Baskin and Baskin (2004). A dormant seed does not have the capacity to germinate in a specified period of time under any combination of normal physical environmental factors that are otherwise favourable for its germination, i.e. after the seed becomes non-dormant. A completely non-dormant seed has the capacity to germinate over the widest range of normal physical environmental factors possible for the genotype. Discussion and opinion: Dormancy is a block to germination has evolved differently across species through adaptation to the prevailing environment so that germination occurs when conditions for establishing a new plant generation are likely to be suitable ( Finch-Savage and Leubner-Metzger, 2006 and references therein). A diverse range of dormancy mechanisms (blocks) has evolved in keeping with the diversity of climates and habitats in which they operate. Definitions of dormancy are difficult because dormancy can only be measured by the absence of germination."

A hard freeze will damage the new leaves, but should not kill it. It does slow down in winter, so dormant is not the correct word.

Although they can occur on a variety of substrates, each substrate must have the individual components in the right amounts that growing lichen needs. These requirements are: water, air, nutrients, light, and substrates. Water Because lichens do not have a waxy cuticle like plants, they cannot conserve water during drought periods. On the other hand, lichens can absorb everything through their cortex, including water and water vapor. Many lichens are found in foggy areas like the coast, but not farther inland simply because there is not enough water in the air to support them. When lichens are wet, they \"\"turn on\"\" and start photosynthesizing and growing. When lichens are dry, they \"\"turn off\"\", become brittle and go dormant. This process is known as \"\"poikilohydry\"\", and other organisms such as mosses and liverworts operate in the same way. This is what L. pulmonaria looks like when it is dry."

"text": "\"Gardening Basics What Does the Term \"\"Dormant\"\" or \"\"Dormancy\"\" Mean in Gardening By Marie Iannotti Updated 10/03/17Share Pin Email In gardening, the term \"\"dormancy\"\" refers to a perennial plant's state of temporary metabolic inactivity or minimal activity. Plants generally go dormant in response to adverse growing conditions, such as when trees or perennial garden plants go dormant during the cold winter months; or when turf grass goes dormant in a lawn during a period of intense heat or drought. It's important to remember that plants don't die at this time, but are simply in suspended animation. While the outer leaves and above-ground foliage may die back, life still lurks in the roots and core of the perennial plant. The term \"\"dormancy\"\" isn't often used to describe annual plants with a life cycle of a single growing season. Their biology does not include the mechanism for going dormant. During dormancy, plants stop growing and conserve energy until better cultural conditions present themselves. This happens naturally as seasons and weather changes. And it can also be artificially controlled to store plants for shipping or to get them to flower for particular holidays. Tulip and daffodil bulbs, for example, can be artificially chilled to send them into dormancy, then brought out of dormancy at the desired time to force them into bloom when required--such as for Valentine's Day potted plants or Easter lily displays."

"text": "Home »Produce The Plant Hormone That Promotes Dormancy in Plants & Seeds By Richard Hoyt; Updated September 21, 2017Plant hormones are molecules within a plant that send signals to various cells throughout the plant, determining the growth of seeds, stems, branches, leaves, plus flowering and fruiting. Abscistic acid is believed to be the hormone primarily responsible for the dormancy of seeds. Aided by another hormone, Ethylene, abscistic acid also causes leaves to fall and other changes associated with plant dormancy. Basics Abscistic acid is a growth inhibitor produced by the chloroplasts of mature leaves. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the substance that uses light to produce photosynthesis. Abscistic acid counters gibberellin and auxin, hormones that encourage seeds to germinate and plants to grow. After the leaves produce abscistic acid, the hormone moves short distances through the phloem vessels to other parts of the plant and is found stems, the caps of roots and in green fruits. Effects Abscistic acid encourages fruit to drop and leaves to fall. When the plant is low on water abscistic acid closes the stomata, pores in the leaves. It encourages both seeds and plants to go dormant."

Most property owners are unaware of why exactly their grass turns green or brown, much less what they can do to control it. The first thing you should keep in mind is that timing is critical. Warm season grass goes brown in the winter as it becomes dormant. Conversely, cool season grass is only sometimes dormant during the warmer seasons, which means there is potential for it to stay green throughout the year. Secondly, it's not necessarily bad if the lawn turns brown. If the top of the grass is brown, but the roots remain firmly planted in the soil, then your grass is simply dormant. This means when the right season comes around, it will flourish once again. However, if your grass is brown and the roots can easily be pulled out, then it's a sign that it is dying and a remedy to revive it will need to be sought out."

The Resurrection Plant is one of over 700 species in the Selaginella genus of plants. All of them are primitive plants, fitting somewhere between mosses and ferns in the hierarchy of plant evolution. They belong to a group of plants known as the lycopods, whose members go by the common names of ground pines and club mosses. All are relatively small (up to one foot tall) and are found around the world, usually in moist locations with mosses and ferns. They reproduce by single-celled spores, and lack flowers, fruits and seeds. Even their \"\"leaves\"\" are not really leaves, but instead leaf-like extensions of the stem."

"text": "SRS Restoring and Managing Longleaf Pine Ecosystems Research Longleaf Pine Restoration and Hurricane Recovery Longleaf Pine Restoration and Hurricane Recovery Historical Decline and Rebirth Map showing historical range of longleaf pine Longleaf pine forests were once one of the most extensive ecosystems in North America, spanning 93 million-acres from Texas to Virginia. However, by the 1990s, they were reduced to 3 million acres through exploitive logging, land-use conversion and interruption of natural fire cycles. Despite this decline, longleaf pine is now viewed by a growing number of conservation and commodity-oriented groups as a resource of great ecological and economic value and an important part of the cultural heritage of the South. Through a joint public-private partnership, a Region-wide Conservation Plan was recently developed, which is aimed at restoring longleaf pine and expanding its occupancy to 8 million acres in the coming years. What is Restoration? Ecological restoration does not mean returning an ecosystem to conditions that prevailed at an earlier time in history. Since the physical and biological characteristics of natural systems change through time, it is erroneous to select a former condition as an appropriate reference for restoration. Even if discounting broad-scale climate change, widespread changes brought by humans, such as altered landscapes, missing species and introduced species make going backward through time impossible. Rather, ecological restoration is “an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability.” Restoration’s principal goal is to improve (and re-establish where necessary) the composition, structure and functions of an ecosystem, so that its productivity, diversity and many life-support processes or “ecosystem services” will be sustained to benefit present and future generations."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A dormant seed is one that is unable to germinate in a specified period of time under a combination of environmental factors that are normally suitable for the germination of the non-dormant seed. [ 1] Dormancy is a mechanism to prevent germination during unsuitable ecological conditions, when the probability of seedling survival is low. [ 2]One important function of most seeds is delayed germination, which allows time for dispersal and prevents germination of all the seeds at the same time. The staggering of germination safeguards some seeds and seedlings from suffering damage or death from short periods of bad weather or from transient herbivores; it also allows some seeds to germinate when competition from other plants for light and water might be less intense. Another form of delayed seed germination is seed quiescence, which is different from true seed dormancy and occurs when a seed fails to germinate because the external environmental conditions are too dry or warm or cold for germination. [ 3] Many species of plants have seeds that delay germination for many months or years, and some seeds can remain in the soil seed bank for more than 50 years before germination. Some seeds have a very long viability period, and the oldest documented germinating seed was nearly 2000 years old based on radiocarbon dating.

Often seed dormancy is divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous. [ 5] There are three types of dormancy based on their mode of action: physical, physiological and morphological. ["

"text": "\"Oils have been used by farmers and gardeners alike long before chemical pesticides came to be. The original oil used was called dormant oil because it was unsafe to use on a growing plant, but would not cause injury when it was dormant. Because of this tradition, oils designed to be applied to a dormant plant are now referred to as \"\"dormant\"\" oils, though they are much safer for dormant and active plants alike. Video of the Day When to Spray Dormant oils are most effective when applied to a dormant tree, shortly before bud break. The temperature should be above freezing for at least 24 hours, though the optimal time is when temperatures remain between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Applying oils during freezing weather will result in uneven coverage. Never apply dormant oil to evergreen trees. Advantages of Dormant Oil Because dormant oil is a mechanical means of insect control, it is unlikely that insects will develop a resistance to the oil. It is applied directly to specific trees when the target insects are dormant, thus reducing the impact on beneficial insects. Dormant insects are affected across the board and even eggs can be destroyed using dormant oils."

"text": "\"Garden Problems Stratificiation and Scarification- Fooling Seeds into Germinating By Marie Iannotti Updated 02/17/17Share Pin Email© Marie Iannotti Not all plant seeds are ready to sprout as soon as you put them in soil. Some hard shelled seeds need a bit more coaxing and some need a temperature change to trigger the end of dormancy. Scarification, cracking the hard outer shell, and stratification, fooling seeds into thinking they've been through winter, are two easy to do techniques that will save you a lot of frustration when starting seeds. Here's how they work. What Does it Mean to Stratify Seeds? Stratification is a means of simulating the chilling and warming that seeds would endure if left outdoors in their native climate, for the winter. Some seeds will stay dormant until triggered by a certain amount of time in cold temperature or warm, damp conditions. This will occur naturally if the seeds are left outdoors or in a coldframe throughout the winter. Gardeners can break the dormancy of these seeds by mimicking the required conditions indoors. To stratify seeds, store the seeds in some moistened peat, sand or paper towel in a closed container or sealed plastic bag."

Mary and Joseph sacrificed two turtle doves in Jerusalem at Christ's birth. Turtle doves are still associated with the Christmas tradition. In Egyptian, Roman and Chinese societies, doves symbolized innocence, long life, peace, devotion and love, and caring for one's family. Turtle doves spend winters in Africa and breed in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Turtle doves are graceful, with long necks, slender bodies and small, gray-blue heads. Turtle doves enjoy fruits and seeds, but occasionally eat grubs, caterpillars and small leaves and buds. Turtle doves flock by day, searching for food and water, and roost at night.

From the ancient world to modern times, this simple bird developed layer upon layer of meaning and interpretive significance, making it a complex and powerful addition to religious texts and visual representations.

"text": "The Olive Branch: A Symbol of Peace May 19, 2014 By Megann Marcellino The olive branch has long been known as a symbol of victory, peace and purity. It has been historically worn by brides, carried by doves and made into wreaths. But where does this symbol originally come from, and what has been its impact throughout history as a symbolic image? Here is a bit about the history of the olive branch as a symbol throughout several regions and time periods: Ancient Rome and Greece One of the earliest imagery involving olive branches comes from ancient Greek mythology. One story involves a competition between the gods Athena and Poseidon to take control of Athens. After Poseidon sticks his trident into the ground to create a well of sea water, and Athena plants an olive tree beside the well. The court of gods determined that Athena’s gift to Athens was superior. This is just one example of appearances of olive branches and wreaths in ancient legends and literature, including Virgil’s Aeneid. Olive wreaths were also famously awarded to victors of the early Olympic games, and were worn by brides in ancient Greek culture. Olive branches can also be seen on Roman Imperial coins, with Eirene holding a branch in the air."

"text": "Supervising Interest Rate Risk Management Jose A. Lopez Components of interest rate risk IRR management Supervisory guidelines Conclusion References Over the past 20 years, financial institutions have made significant efforts to establish and improve their procedures for interest rate risk management, including using economic models of interest rates and related models of credit risk (Lopez 2001a, b). At the same time, bank supervisors worldwide, including the Federal Reserve, have been expanding their knowledge and oversight of interest rate risk management techniques. For example, U. S. bank supervisors recently issued supervisory guidance on sound risk management practices regarding the valuation of mortgage servicing rights (Board of Governors 2003). The centerpiece of these international supervisory efforts is the revised Basel Capital Accord, which was released in June 2004 and is to be fully implemented by year-end 2007. This Economic Lette r reviews the Accord’s stated principles on interest rate risk. In brief, the principles strongly support the idea that banks’ internal risk assessments should, whenever possible, form the basis for supervisory oversight of their interest rate risk profiles. The principles suggest supervisory guidelines for assessing the adequacy of interest rate risk management systems, such as focusing on banks’ internal control functions and stress-testing results. Components of interest rate risk Interest rate risk (IRR) is defined as the change in a bank’s portfolio value due to interest rate fluctuations. Taking on IRR is a key part of what banks do; but taking on excessive IRR could threaten a bank’s earnings and its capital base, raising concerns for bank supervisors. In practice, IRR management systems have been developed to measure and control such risk exposures, both in the trading book (i.e., assets that are relatively liquid and regularly traded) and in the banking book (i.e., assets, such as loans, that are much less actively traded)."

Stated simply, decreased unemployment, (i.e., increased levels of employment) in an economy will correlate with higher rates of wage rises. [ 1] Phillips did not himself state there was any relationship between employment and inflation, although this notion was subsequently made popular by Milton Friedman from 1967. [ 2]While there is a short run tradeoff between unemployment and inflation, it has not been observed in the long run. [ 3] In 1968, Milton Friedman asserted that the Phillips curve was only applicable in the short-run and that in the long-run, inflationary policies will not decrease unemployment. [ 4] [5] Friedman then correctly predicted that in the 1973–75 recession, both inflation and unemployment would increase. ["

[ 1]A monopoly (from Greek μόνος mónos [\"\"alone\"\" or \"\"single\"\"] and πωλεῖν pōleîn [\"\"to sell\"\"]) exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. This contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few sellers dominating a market.

A bank sign in Malawi advertises the interest rates for lending money to its customers Interest is payment from a borrower or deposit-taking financial institution to a lender or depositor of an amount above repayment of the principal sum (i.e., the amount borrowed), at a particular rate. [ 1] It is distinct from a fee which the borrower may pay the lender or some third party. It is also distinct from dividend which is paid by a company to its shareholders (owners) from its profit or reserve, but not at a particular rate decided beforehand, rather on a pro rata basis as a share in the reward gained by risk taking entrepreneurs when the revenue earned exceeds the total costs. [ 2] [3]For example, a customer would usually pay interest to borrow from a bank, so they pay the bank an amount which is more than the amount they borrowed; or a customer may earn interest on their savings, and so they may withdraw more than they originally deposited. In the case of savings, the customer is the lender, and the bank plays the role of the borrower. Interest differs from profit, in that interest is received by a lender, whereas profit is received by the owner of an asset, investment or enterprise. ( Interest may be part or the whole of the profit on an investment, but the two concepts are distinct from each other from an accounting perspective. ) The rate of interest is equal to the interest amount paid or received over a particular period divided by the principal sum borrowed or lent (usually expressed as a percentage).

"text": "What is the 'Learning Curve'A learning curve is a concept that graphically depicts the relationship between cost and output over a defined period of time, normally to represent the repetitive task of an employee or worker. The learning curve was first described by psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885 and is used as a way to measure production efficiency and to forecast costs. In the visual representation of a learning curve, a steeper slope indicates initial learning translates into higher cost savings, and subsequent learnings result in increasingly slower, more difficult cost savings. Next Up Equity Curve Humped Yield Curve Riding the Yield Curve Guns And Butter Curve BREAKING DOWN 'Learning Curve'The learning curve is also referred to as the experience curve, the cost curve, the efficiency curve or the productivity curve. This is because the learning curve provides measurement and insight into all of the above aspects of a company. The idea is any employee, regardless of position, takes time to learn how to carry out a specific task or duty. The amount of time needed to produce the associated output is high. Then, as the task is repeated, the employee learns how to complete it quickly and reduces the amount of time needed for a unit of output. This is why the learning curve is downward sloping in the beginning with a flat slope toward the end, with the cost per unit on the Y-axis and total output on the X-axis. As learning increases, it decreases the cost per unit of output initially before flattening out, as it becomes harder to increase the efficiencies gained through learning."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is 'Aggregate Demand'Aggregate demand is an economic measurement of the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy, expressed as the total amount of money exchanged for those goods and services. Since aggregate demand is measured by market values, it only represents total output at a given price level and does not necessarily represent quality or standard of living. Next Up Account Aggregation Demand Theory Aggregation Keynesian Economics BREAKING DOWN 'Aggregate Demand'As a macroeconomic term describing the total demand in an economy for all goods and services at any given price level in a given period, aggregate demand necessarily equals gross domestic product (GDP), at least in purely quantitative terms, because the two share the same equation. As a matter of accounting, it must always be the case that the aggregate demand and GDP increase or decrease together. Technically speaking, aggregate demand only equals GDP in the long run after adjusting for the price level. This is because short-run aggregate demand measures total output for a single nominal price level, not necessarily (and in fact rarely) equilibrium. In nearly all models, however, the price level is assumed to be “one” for simplicity. Other variations in calculations can occur depending on methodological variations or timing issues in gathering statistics. Aggregate demand is by its very nature general, not specific. All consumer goods, capital goods, exports, imports and government spending programs are considered equal so long as they traded at the same market value."

"text": "Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply Section 01: Aggregate Demand As discussed in the previous lesson, the aggregate expenditures model is a useful tool in determining the equilibrium level of output in the economy. It does have a significant flaw, however: the aggregate expenditures model does not take into account the impact of the price level on aggregate output. The Aggregate Demand Curve (AD) represents, in that sense, an even more appropriate model of aggregate output, because it shows the various amounts of goods and services which domestic consumers (C), businesses (I), the government (G), and foreign buyers (NX) collectively will desire at each possible price level. Let’s begin by showing the relationship between the aggregate expenditures model and the AD curve. In the graph below, we show the standard aggregate expenditures curve at three different price levels. When prices are high (P1), Consumption is low; as prices fall to P2 and P3, Consumption rises. As the Consumption function shifts upward due to the falling prices, the equilibrium level of GDP goes up from GDP1 to GDP3. This is depicted in the AD framework as a downward sloping AD curve. Why does it make sense for the AD curve to slope downward and to the right? We will suggest three different rationales for the downward sloped curve: the real balances effect, the interest rate effect, and the foreign purchases effect."

An important task of the corporate financial manager is measurement of the company’s cost of equity capital. But estimating the cost of equity causes a lot of head scratching; often the result is subjective and therefore open to question as a reliable benchmark. This article describes a method for arriving at that figure, a method spawned in the rarefied atmosphere of financial theory. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is an idealized portrayal of how financial markets price securities and thereby determine expected returns on capital investments. The model provides a methodology for quantifying risk and translating that risk into estimates of expected return on equity. A principal advantage of CAPM is the objective nature of the estimated costs of equity that the model can yield. CAPM cannot be used in isolation because it necessarily simplifies the world of financial markets. But financial managers can use it to supplement other techniques and their own judgment in their attempts to develop realistic and useful cost of equity calculations. Although its application continues to spark vigorous debate, modern financial theory is now applied as a matter of course to investment management."

The most commonly traded and most liquid interest rate swaps are known as “vanilla” swaps, which exchange fixed-rate payments for floating-rate payments based on LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate), which is the interest rate high-credit quality banks charge one another for short-term financing. LIBOR is the benchmark for floating short-term interest rates and is set daily. Although there are other types of interest rate swaps, such as those that trade one floating rate for another, vanilla swaps comprise the vast majority of the market. Investment and commercial banks with strong credit ratings are swap market makers, offering both fixed and floating-rate cash flows to their clients. The counterparties in a typical swap transaction are a corporation, a bank or an investor on one side (the bank client) and an investment or commercial bank on the other side. After a bank executes a swap, it usually offsets the swap through an inter-dealer broker and retains a fee for setting up the original swap. If a swap transaction is large, the inter-dealer broker may arrange to sell it to a number of counterparties, and the risk of the swap becomes more widely dispersed."

"text": "\"What is the relationship between the discount rate and mortgage rates? June 2002The Discount Rate is the interest rate the Federal Reserve Banks charge depository institutions on overnight loans. It is an administered rate, set by the Federal Reserve Banks, rather than a market rate of interest. The primary conventional mortgage rate is a market-determined interest rate for long-term residential mortgage loans. A change in the short-term discount rate may not affect interest rates on long-term mortgages. Let me simplify the question: How do these two interest rates behave over time? ( http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/) As the evidence presented below indicates, while these two interest rates tend to move together, they also may follow different paths from time to time. For example, in 2001 stimulative Federal Reserve monetary policy reduced the discount rate to 1.25 percent, its lowest rate in more than 50 years. In contrast, mortgage rates fell only slightly during the same period. The Discount Rate The discount rate is the interest rate on secured overnight borrowing by depository institutions, usually for reserve adjustment purposes."

"text": "Long-Term Interest Rates & Yield-Curve Confusion Long-Term Interest Rates: Bernanke’s Yield-Curve Confusions A Daily Reckoning White Paper Report By Frank Shostak In his speech on March 20 the new Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke admitted that he is not so sure whether the Fed should be tightening its stance further or whether the central bank should pause. The reason, according to Bernanke, is the unusual behavior of long-term interest rates. Despite a visible increase in the federal funds rate from 1% in June 2004 to the current figure of 4.75%, the yield on the 10-year T-Note rose only slightly. At the end of March the yield stood at 4.74% against 4.58% at the end of June 2004. The Fed Chairman has concluded that the consequent narrowing in the spread between the long-term and the short-term interest rates (flattening in the yield curve) may imply that the present interest rate stance of the U. S. central bank is either too easy or too tight. It all depends, he says, on the type of expectations that investors hold. According to Bernanke, there is a possibility that the premium on long-term interest rates may have fallen. Now, if this is the case then this could mean that investors expect an improvement in the future economic environment – more stable inflation and a reduction in economic volatility. This is likely to set the platform for stronger economic activity in the months ahead. Hence, in his view and contrary to past experience, the present narrowing in the spread between the long-term and the short-term interest rates is likely to stimulate aggregate demand."

From the 1980s through 1990s, board drawings were going out of style as the newly developed computer-aided design (CAD) system was released and was able to produce technical drawings at a faster pace. Many modern drafters now employ cutting edge computer software such as Auto CAD, Revit, and Solidworks to flesh out the designs of engineers or architects into technical drawings and blueprints but board drafting still remains the base of the CAD system.

"text": "\"By Donald S. Malecki, CPCUWhen it comes to manuscripting policies or endorsements, those who take pen in hand to develop the product need to be careful. The reason is that if there is any ambiguity in the document, it can be interpreted adversely against the drafter. So, for example, if a producer decides to embellish the wording of an endorsement, with the consent of the underwriter, the producer and his or her client may be confronted with a problem, if it turns out that the document is ambiguous. ( The word \"\"ambiguous\"\" is used here to mean that the wording produces two reasonable interpretations, instead of one. ) Another caveat is that whatever the document being manuscripted, it needs to correspond to the rest of the policy. It is simply astonishing to see endorsements that provide no clue on the provisions of policies they are designed to interact with or replace. Of course, an endorsement does not have to replace any policy provision. It can be used to introduce a new provision. But if the intent is to replace a provision of the policy, then there should be some continuity in the wording and some clarity about the exact provision being amended.

By Julian Knight and Chiara Cavaglieri Saturday 3 October 2009 23:00 BST 1 comment Click to follow The Independent Online Enticing offers of discount or even free will-writing services may sound harmless enough, but many families who take this route risk paying dearly when it comes to sorting out the eventual estate. Will-writing companies, banks and solicitors may be taking consumers for a ride by appointing themselves as executors in the will and charging over the odds for taking an estate through probate. Some banks and will-writers can offer their services as a loss leader; they can recoup their money tenfold by ensuring they are included in the will as executors, then levying bumper fees when the testator passes away. After death, it is difficult to remove executors from a will; as a result, estates can be hit with unspecified charges of as much as 4.5 per cent, or £22,500 on a £500,000 estate. \"\" Wills are now also being written by unqualified people who have no professional ethics whatsoever,\"\" says Adam Walker, the director of Final Duties, an independent probate broker. Will-writing firms are able to offer discounted services for as little as £50, or even free as in the case of Barclays which includes it as part of its monthly fee-charging packaged current account. But they can then charge an executor's fees. An executor's role is to ensure that all the legal formalities are completed after the death, with typical duties including evaluating the value of the deceased's assets, clearing any outstanding debts and taxes, then distributing the assets in accordance with the will. Barclays has been labelled as one of the worst culprits and accused of failing to explain to its customers the true consequences of writing itself in as executor."

"text": "\"Maybe the Taoistic theory of the Five Elements can be seen as a further, more refined step to understand and categorize or analyse the Yin-Yang philosophy. The Theory of the Five Elements describes the interaction and relation between Yin and Yang, between phenomena. Taoism theories use symbols to describe phenomens of reality, hence each of the Five Elements represent an aspect of a dynamic process, a processe's phases of change. In this sense, Wood is not only the actual wood of a tree as defined by the substance, but describes the character, the dynamic state, the elemental force of the element. Wood - rising, development (of an action), impulse, expansion, decampment Fire - embodiement, definition, action, dynamic phase, design Earth - alteration, transformation, transmutation, change, convertation Metal - sinking, contraction, declining Water - contemplation, calmness, (re-)consideration, observation, reflection The basic substances of the material world according to the ‘Theory of the Five Elements’ are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. All material things are made of a single or a combination of the Five Elements, since these are the fundamental components. All Five Elements are equally important and should form a balance, while being in constant move and cyclical change (phases). Each phase’s peak already consists of its decline, then forwarding the prior received/ gathered (chi) energy from one element to the following element. The ‘generating’ or ‘controlling’ element is building up the energy to its own peak, before the decline starts again. This interactive process is being constantly repeated, hence forming a never ending, though balanced circle."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There is a dragon on the Welsh flag, and in Welsh school we were taught that it symbolyses strenght, power and force. We are only a little nation, the dragon represented our willingness to fight for what was rightfully ours. The dragon would have been a natural symbol for those who wished to preserve their Romanised way of life against the barbarian invader. The ancient poets Aneirin and Taliesin use the Welsh word for dragon \"\"draig\"\" in the sense of \"\"warrior\"\" or \"\"leader\"\" and this usage remained to the Middle Ages. In the Historia Brittonum (ascribed to Nennius) of around 800 A. D. the dragon is seen as a symbol of national independence in the story of the red dragon battling with the white dragon of the Saxon enemy. Basiclaly, Welsh V English..

It is one of only three national flags to display a mythological creature, the other two being the Snow Lion flag of Tibet and the Thunder Dragon flag of Bhutan. It is often said that it is one of the oldest national flags in Europe although this is almost impossible to verify. Certainly, the association of the Red Dragon with the people of Wales has existed far longer than that of the English with the Cross of St George. However, it was not made the official flag of Wales until 1959 and before then many alternatives had been in use. How long has the Red Dragon been a symbol of Wales? The short answer is that it was probably a symbol of the Celts in Britain since the time of the Romans and probably well before the Anglo-Saxon invasion in the 5th century. History of the Flag The Welsh flag mixes two major influences, namely that of the Red Dragon and the colours green and white, taken from the heraldry of the Tudor family. The House of Tudor was a Welsh aristocratic family who seized the throne of England at the Battle of Bosworth, ending the 15th-century War of the Roses. On the 22nd of August 1485 Henry Tudor ( Harri Tudur) marched into this battle carrying this version of the Red Dragon."

"text": "\"The Hidden or Implied Meaning of Chinese Charm Symbols Differences between Chinese Coins and Chinese Charms Most old Chinese coins have an inscription of four Chinese characters to identify the historical time of their casting and their monetary value. Most Chinese charms also have four (or more) Chinese character inscriptions but the inscription is not meant to identify when the charm was made or its monetary value (which is none). Instead, the inscription is either an auspicious desire, such as for good luck, good fortune, good health, success in the imperial examinations or business, etc., or a wish to avert misfortune from evil ghosts and spirits. ( For additional information on Chinese charm inscriptions, please see Guide to Reading Chinese Characters (Symbols) on Charms and English Translation of Chinese Charm Inscriptions .) More importantly, and unlike Chinese coins, most Chinese charms also depict a variety of objects meant to enhance the inscriptions with rich symbolic meanings. Visual and Spoken Puns One of the peculiarities of the Chinese language is that it has a very large number of written characters but a much smaller number of spoken sounds. As a result, many Chinese characters share the same pronunciation, i.e. are homonyms. The charms of the Ming (1368 - 1644 AD) and Qing (Ch'ing) (1644 - 1911 AD) dynasties, in particular, frequently took advantage of this characteristic. The charms may use depictions of animals, plants and other objects to substitute for other words because of their similarity in pronunciation, even though they may not have any other relationship to what is being expressed."

The eight lines are symbolic of north, south, east, and west; and time as well with the two solstices and two equinoxes. The first cross is the intersection of the Galactic Equator with the ecliptic and the axis perpendicular to this intersection. When the Earth Cross and the Galactic Cross are superimposed they form an eight-pointed cross. The two separate crosses become conjunct and form a single 4 pointed cross during the moments of a Great Celestial Conjunction. After the individual crosses separate again and form an eight-pointed cross again."

Blue and Green Chinese blue dragon In Chinese culture, the colors blue and green are associated with nature, serenity, growth and health. Blue and green dragons symbolize the approaching spring, evoking the clear skies and new plants that the season brings. These colors also are representative of the East and indicate Eastern dragons. Other Chinese associations with blue and green include healing, rest, prosperity and harmony. Black and White Chinese black dragon Black and white are key colors on the Chinese spectrum, representing the balance of the black yin, which is negative, passive and feminine, and the white yang, which is positive, active and masculine.

Digital terrain map of the Latorița River 's drainage basin in Romania Digital terrain model of the Latorița River's drainage basin in Romania A drainage basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water. The drainage basin includes all the surface water from rain runoff, snowmelt, and nearby streams that run downslope towards the shared outlet, as well as the groundwater underneath the earth's surface. [ 1] Drainage basins connect into other drainage basins at lower elevations in a hierarchical pattern, with smaller sub-drainage basins, which in turn drain into another common outlet. [ 2]Other terms used interchangeably with drainage basin are catchment area, catchment basin, drainage area, river basin, and water basin. [ 3] In North America, the term watershed is commonly used to mean a drainage basin, though in other English-speaking countries, it is used only in its original sense, that of a drainage divide. In a closed drainage basin, or endorheic basin, the water converges to a single point inside the basin, known as a sink, which may be a permanent lake, a dry lake, or a point where surface water is lost underground.

Introduction The Grand Canyon is one of the most recognizable landforms on planet Earth and the most often asked question about it is, \"\"When did it form?\"\" If only there were a simple answer! Geologists still debate many of the details about the origin and age of the canyon but recent geologic research has shed new light on the topic. Using new, sophisticated laboratory techniques geologists are able to tease ever more information from the canyon's seemingly stubborn rocks. To begin to grasp the age of the canyon we should also know something about the history of the Colorado River, for without this river (or at least some ancestor to it) there would be no Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon and Colorado River: The Colorado River, or some ancestor to it, has carved the Grand Canyon. But as new techniques are developed to tease ever more information from the canyon's rocks, the age of the canyon becomes more of a puzzle. Traditionally, the age of the canyon is ascribed at 6 million years but this date refers specifically to when the modern Colorado River came into existence."

Infiltrator septic tanks and Infiltrator leach field chambers along with settling basins, effluent filters, director valves, and drywell leach pit kits complete with installation guidelines and practical design tips on how to fix a failed septic system drainage leach field. The wastewater your home produces is referred to as 'effluent' and consists of blackwater (toilet and garbage disposal waste) and greywater (shower, sink and laundry waste). Effluent flows directly from your household plumbing into a watertight, underground, two compartment septic tank. Solid waste settles into a sludge layer on the bottom and fats float to the top of the first compartment. Between these two scum layers is a zone of clarified liquid effluent which is internally piped to the second compartment of the septic tank for additional settling. As incoming sewage from the house fills the first compartment, clarified liquids are forced to leave the second chamber of the septic tank and flow out to the leach field or leach pit. The typical leach field is a series of chambers or rock filled trenches where effluent is further treated as it slowly percolates through the soil. A leach pit is a deeper, larger hole filled with rock for disposing of wastewater in a smaller footprint. Not as effective treatment as a larger leach field, where sewage percolates slowly over a larger area, leach pits are an alternative for smaller properties only where high seasonal ground water is not present. Greywater from washing machine, sinks and showers contains soaps designed to kill bacteria (clean and disinfect things) and thus discourage optimal septic tank function."

A new study released on June 17, 2015 by the Northeast-Midwest Institute and the U. S. Geological Survey found that current water quality monitoring in the Lake Erie drainage basin is inadequate for evaluating agricultural management practices for improving the health of Lake Erie. The monitoring challenges identified in the Lake Erie drainage basin, such as the lack of overlap between monitoring sites and areas targeted by conservation incentive programs, likely apply in other regions across the country. According to Elin Betanzo, lead author of the study, “A substantial increase in agricultural management practice use is needed to generate and detect statistically significant reductions in nutrient loads to Lake Erie, even in places where the needed water data are collected.” The study presents several strategies for improving efficiencies and results of both water monitoring and conservation incentive programs across the Lake Erie drainage basin. Harmful algal blooms driven by nutrient loadings to Lake Erie have affected the Lake Erie region for several years, including a bloom in August 2014 that resulted in a drinking water advisory restricting water use for 400,000 people for three days in Toledo, Ohio. Agriculture is the dominant land use in the western Lake Erie drainage basin where nonpoint nutrient sources account for 71 percent of the nutrient load to Lake Erie (Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force, 2010). Consequently, agricultural management practices are among the most important tools for reducing nutrient loads that lead to harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie. “This report by the Northeast-Midwest Institute provides specific recommendations on how to better use our limited resources to monitor and prevent harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie,” said Representative Mike Kelly (PA-03, Co-Chair of the Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition). “ Using the report, we can identify the most efficient and effective monitoring sites to better understand what management changes will achieve the results we need to keep Lake Erie healthy for everyone in the region."

Unfortunately, drainage of water is one the most common areas of dispute between rural neighbours, whether they be farmers or not. Drainage disputes generally fall into the realm of Common Law, a system of law that Ontario inherited from Great Britain. Common Law forms the basis of our legal system. It always applies, unless it is specifically altered by a statute passed by our Provincial or Federal Governments. Common Law disputes are arguments between landowners, and if they cannot be mutually resolved, final solutions can be determined through the courts. Landowners are considered to be equal under Common Law, whether they be private citizens, companies, road authorities, municipalities, or Provincial and Federal governments. So, if you get advice on Common Law drainage problems from a drainage contractor, a drainage Engineer, a lawyer, a Conservation Authority, or a Government Agency, remember that it is not their responsibility to solve the problem. Only the courts can make the final decision in the dispute. To obtain a ruling by a court, a civil action must be initiated by the damaged party."

This drainage basin system divided Connecticut into 8 major basins, 45 regional basins, 337 subregional basins, 2,898 local basins, and 7,067 small drainage basin areas. The statewide mapping of natural drainage basins established a hierarchical system of basins based on drainage area size with large major basins subdivided into regional basins, regional basins subdivided into subregional basins, subregional basins subdivided into local basins, and local basins subdivided into smaller and more numerous drainage basin areas. It includes watersheds for Connecticut rivers, streams, brooks, lakes, reservoirs and ponds included on 1:24,000-scale 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps published by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) between 1969 and 1984. These basin units include smaller watersheds that drain into many of the small streams and ponds in Connecticut. These basin areas are the building blocks for the larger local, subregional, regional and major drainage basins defined by DEP. Connecticut Major Drainage Basins includes 8 major drainage basin areas for large river basins in Connecticut such as the Connecticut and Thames as well as coastal basins along the Connecticut shoreline. Each one is uniquely identified by a 1 digit major basin number (MBAS_NO) that ranges from 1 to 8. These major basin numbers include Pawcatuck River (1), Southeast Coast (2), Thames River (3), Connecticut River (4), South Central Coast (5), Housatonic River (6), Southwest Coast (7), and Hudson River (8). Note there are more major basin areas delineated (10) than unique major basin numbers (8) because two areas are necessary to represent both the entire South East Coast and Hudson Major basins in Connecticut."

Tile drainage is a best management practice. It reduces soil erosion and assists in the reduction of phosphorus in streams. The benefits of land drainage are many and depend on the condition and management of the farm after the work is done. For corn and soybeans - expect about 35 - 50% increase in yield compared to the same crops in undrained soil. For hay and pasture expect about a 30% increase in yield. Grazing periods are extended two to three weeks in the fall, thus saving on barn feeding. Well-drained soils carry more livestock per acre with less damage to the soil compared to poorly drained soil. Tile drained soils create uniform field conditions for early field work."

"text": "Hydrographs and River Discharge What are Hydrogra phs? The amount of water in a river at any given point and time is known as the discharge which is measured in cumecs (cubic metres per second). This can be calculated by multiplying river velocity by channel volume at a given point and time. Hydrographs are graphs which show river discharge over a given period of time and show the response of a drainage basin and its river to a period of rainfall. A storm hydrograph shows how a river's discharge responds following a period of heavy rainfall. On a hydrograph, the flood is shown as a peak above the base (normal) flow of the river. Analysis of hydrographs can help hydrologists to predict the likelihood of flooding in a drainage basin. The response of a river to a rainfall event can be measured in terms of the lag time - the time between peak rainfall and peak discharge. Rivers with a short lag time respond rapidly to rainfall events and are therefore more prone to flooding than rivers with a longer lag time River discharge does not respond immediately to rainfall inputs as only a little of the rainfall will fall directly into the channel. The river will start to respond initially through inputs from surface runoff (the fastest flow of water) and its discharge will later be supplemented through inputs from throughflow and groundwater flow."

The drainage basin of the river covers a massive area of 2,490,000 square kilometers. The Lena River Delta is the largest Arctic Delta in the world, with an area of 32,000 square kilometers. Vast tracts of land along the river are protected in the form of nature reserves, such as the Lena Delta Nature Reserve, the Lena Pillars, and the Ust-Lensky Nature Reserve. Historical Role The origin of the name of the Lena River is said to have been derived from the local word Elyu-Ene, meaning the ‘Large River’. The river was probably first explored by a troupe of Russian fur hunters led by Demid Pyanda in the 17th Century. In 1623, Pyanda explored a 2,4000-kilometer stretch of the river."

"text": "Answer by oo oo Confidence votes 51.8KIt doesn't mean anything specific. What's important is how you felt during the dream. Were you scared of something? Were you accepting death? This is a glimpse into your own mind. Common superstitions say dreaming of death means that someone in your family is going to have a baby. Such old superstitions have no basis in fact. Dreams are your own thoughts which other people can't read. Consider: Has anything special happened to you recently? Also consider: Do you think about dying when you are awake?"

However, crying dreams may reveal feelings you did not even know existed, and this is a positive thing. Crying in a dream can happen to us all. Have you experienced an emotionally disturbed dream and found yourself waking up crying? One should be able to admit their feelings without fear of judgment, but this is tough to do in the waking world. If you experience a dream about crying, it is time to examine your emotions and figure out what it is you need to address. It is not uncommon to wake up after crying in a dream. If you were unable to stop yourself from crying in the dream it shows that you are feeling helpless and sad about something. Most likely, you have not searched inside of yourself or found the true source of this sadness."

"text": "WELLNESS 07/13/2011 02:18 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017Dreams About Death: Dream Meanings Explained Wendy Gould The Huffington Post Dreams about death are a very common theme at bedtime. If you or a loved one have been covering this ground at night, you may have questions about what it all might mean. As part of a Huffington Post series on dreams and their meanings, we spoke to Jeffrey Sumber, M. A., M. T. S., L. C. P. C., a psychotherapist and author in Chicago, to get expert advice about the meanings of your or your loved one’s dreams about death. Note: While dream analysis is highly subjective, this post might provide some insight into why this dream occurred or is recurring. What do dreams about this subject mean? According to Sumber, dreams about death often indicate “the symbolic ending of something, whether that’s a phase, a job or a relationship.” He suggests that a dream about death can also indicate attempts to resolve anxiety or anger directed toward the self. “ It does not, however, suggest that [a person] will actually die imminently,” Sumber notes. What can I learn about myself from dreams about death? “ Like all dreams, death-related dreaming is an opportunity for introspection and growth,” explains Sumber."

"text": "Dealing with Fear What is Fear? According to Buddhism, there is unhealthy fear and healthy fear. For example, when we are afraid of something that cannot actually harm us – such as spiders – or something we can do nothing to avoid – such as old age or being struck down with smallpox or being run over by a truck – then our fear is unhealthy, for it serves only to make us unhappy and paralyze our will. On the other hand, when someone gives up smoking because they are afraid of developing lung cancer, this is a healthy fear because the danger is real and there are constructive steps they can take to avoid it. We have many fears-fear of terrorism, fear of death, fear of being separated from people we love, fear of losing control, fear of commitment, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of losing our job, the list is never-ending! Many of our present fears are rooted in what Buddha identified as “delusions” – distorted ways of looking at ourself and the world around us. If we learn to control our mind, and reduce and eventually eliminate these delusions, the source of all our fear, healthy and unhealthy, is eradicated. Healthy Fear However, right now we need the healthy fear that arises from taking stock of our present situation so that we can resolve to do something about it. For example, there is no point in a smoker being scared of dying of lung cancer unless there is something that he or she can or will do about it, i.e. stop smoking. If a smoker has a sufficient fear of dying of lung cancer, he or she will take steps to kick the habit."

For most of them, the experience had a healing effect on their lives and gave them comfort. For others, though, the dreams were nightmarish. These people had witnessed the decline of their loved one and consequently had unfinished business that left them feeling hopeless and depressed. Dreams like this are called Visitation Dreams. They are a universal phenomenon and when you know how to work with them, they have the potential to completely heal grief and restore hope. So in this post I’m going to show you how to invite your deceased loved ones to visit you in dreams. And then how to work with those dreams so you can move through the darkness and into peace. Dreams are a road map for healing Witnessing the death of a loved one is one of the most profound, and sometimes tragic, human experiences.

They're on Your Mind!We often have our crush at the back of our mind and this deep inner desire to be with them can actually cause us to dream about the person. Dreams will often reflect our emotions, concerns, preoccupations and things taking place in our waking life, so the more you think about something or someone, the more likely you will be to dream about them!When you dream about your crush it therefore reflects your actual attraction, fascination or infatuation towards this person. To see an old crush in a dream is a reflection of your feelings during that stage of your life. The Most Common Questions People Ask Here are the most common questions people ask when they dream about someone they like.1. I had a dream about my crush, does that mean he/she was thinking about me before going to sleep, or possibly likes me? Dreaming about your crush does not mean that they were thinking about you before they went to sleep, this is simply an old superstition. I'm sure many women fantasize about Brad Pitt before they fall asleep, but this does not cause Brad Pitt to dream about each and every one of them!Your dreams are all about you! They reflect your thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears."

"text": "Dead Seeing something dead in your dream suggests you are realising that some part of yourself, or your feelings, are no longer expressing fully. In fact you may have killed that part of you by denying it, repressing, or freezing it from normal life. The ‘death’ may even have been caused by a painful experience. But even so, it still means you have made a decision – perhaps unconscious – to shut out that part of your life. This can also relate to a lost opportunity or potential. Some aspect of your outer or inner life is fading, or being superseded by a changed approach, so may be shown as dying. Your drive to achieve something might die, and be shown as a death in your dreams. Changing from adolescence to puberty, maturity to old age, are also shown as oneself dying. Lost opportunities or unexpressed potentials in oneself are frequently shown as dead bodies. All of us unconsciously learn attitudes or survival skills from parents and others."

Its sad because no one wants to be alone all the time, everyone wants to be understood. But at the same time, realizing that theres many things about this world that are fucked up and choosing solitude over conforming is a powerful notion. |The sense of peacefulness comes from the fact that its only sometimes he wishes someone would find him, for the most part he's accepted and learned not to fear being alone.

Don't know where it goes...) seems to me like he's talking about addiction or an extremely hard time in life. ( I've only ever heard this song by itself, I plan to buy the CD sometime in the future...) The words make it seem like he's been on this road for so long that he's gotten used to it, and it's just a part of him now. The next line just expresses a feeling of, you guessed it, utter and complete loneliness, but that's not all. It also conveys that nobody cares that he's alone and that he'll never fix anything (hence the Broken Dreams). Chorus is just restating that he's lonely and he wishes someone would help him out of his hole, but until he gets intervention he's stuck alone."

It may also mean that you have gained a new and different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power. Having difficulties staying in flight indicates a lack of power in controlling your own circumstances. You may be struggling to stay aloft or stay on set course. Things like power lines, trees, or mountains may be obstacles that you encounter in flight."

Illustration: Robert Frank Hunter W hat if you could go to bed each night, fall asleep and have total control of your dreams? That is what happens when you lucid dream, and when it happens it’s as if you’re the architect of your own world, the director and star of your own movie. You can change scenery, add characters and orchestrate events. People say it feels like being inside a computer game. It’s an alternate universe; like Second Life, where, if you know how to control it, you can choose any identity you wish. Though lucid dreaming has been an acknowledged practice in Buddhist culture for thousands of years, it has only been recognised in western culture and science over the past few decades. Studies by the neuropsychologists Ursula Voss and Martin Dresler have shown that brain activity while lucid dreaming is similar to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, yet distinct from a non-lucid dreaming state or being awake – suggesting something different is going on. Although lucid dreams might happen to you spontaneously, with a bit of practice it is something that you’re able to control."

"text": "Do You Dream About Flying Or Going Home? In5D June 30, 2014 Spiritual Awakening Spread the loveby Gregg Prescott, M. S. Editor, In5D.com Many people have recurring dreams such as being able to fly or going back home to where they were born but what does it really mean to fly or to go home in your dreams? In college, I took a class on the Psychology of Sleep and Dreams. When we dream, we use metaphors in place of actual objects or events. For example, you may have a bad dream where you see a 100 foot tall tire rolling toward you. The tire would represent stressors that occurred earlier that day and is being played out through a tire that is so large in size, that it represents insurmountable stressors or challenges in your every day life. Most dream analysis websites give wonderful explanations of what any symbol represents in your dreams. The two I use most often are Dream Moods and Glamour Dream Analysis. If you have a dream about an animal, bird or insect… or if any of these come into your waking day for no apparent reason, you can always refer to In5D’s Animal Symbolism, Totems and Dream Analysis from A to Z. Dreams of flying Have you ever dreamt that you could fly like a bird? It’s a relatively rare dream to have for most people, but I’ve found quite a few people within this genre who have experienced this dream numerous times."

Numerous people from different cultures all over the world have claimed to have experienced Astral Projection also known as Astral Travel or an Out Of Body Experience, some of which say that they have not only experienced an Out Of Body Experience but with practices you can control the experience of this phenomena. OK that’s great but what is Astro Projection? Well according to the encyclopedia it is an esoteric interpretation of any form of out-of-body experience (OOBE) that assumes the existence of an \"\"Astral body\"\" separate from the physical body and able to Travel outside of the physical body. Astral Projection Astral Travel symbolizes the Astral body leaving the physical body to Travel in the Astral plane. In some religions this is spiritual practice that can involve Travel to higher levels of consciousness called Astral planes. This is commonly described as any sense of one’s Astral body Traveling outside of their physical body to obtain a higher spiritual learning. Now let us take a look at some of the history of Astral Travel and beliefs of some of the people that practices it. According to classical, medieval, renaissance Neo-Platonist, later Theosophist and Rosicrucian philosophy, the Astral body is an intermediate body of light that links the soul to the physical body, and the Astral plane is an intermediate world of light amid Heaven and Earth composed of the spheres of the planets and stars. These Astral spheres were held to be occupied by angels, demons and spirits."

"text": "What do Dreams Mean? Go straight to our common dreams page to begin working out what your dreams mean right now!People have been fascinated with the question, what do dreams mean for Centuries. In ancient times the Greeks and the Romans believed in the importance of dreams to give information about past, present and future events. In modern times, since the advent of Dream Psychology in the late 18th Century thanks to Sigmund Freud, researchers have been making advancements in the study of dreams. So… what do dreams mean then? Even though we have come a long way, years of research and hundreds of dream books later, the meaning of dreams is still a bit of a mystery. There are still no concrete answers to the questions “what do dreams mean?” or “why do we have them?.”However, researchers are generally in agreement that working with dreams can provide some beneficial understanding into anxieties and feelings on personal issues. Dream practitioners use dream interpretation to facilitate change and self-growth within their patients. Answering the question “What do dreams mean” is difficult because of the personal nature of each and every dream we have."

"text": "\"Dream Dictionary Balloon If you have a dream in which you are carrying around a balloon, it could mean that you are trying to recall happier times when you were a child. Balloons are not just seen every day. They are usually sighted at parties and at family outings, so if you happen to see one in your dreams and have been really yearning for your childhood recently then this can be the connection that really drives home how much you truly miss your childhood. Another reason that you might dream of balloons is because you wish to rise above in a certain hierarchy that you have become a part of. You feel as if you are ready to reach a new level in whatever social environment you have made yourself a part of. If you are in some kind of organization, perhaps you want to become the president of this organization, or have some sort of aspirations to become more powerful within those constraints that the organization poses. Either way, the balloon acts as a way of letting you know of your latent desire to be on top. Sometimes a balloon can represent a desire to be noticed as well. Ignoring the fact that balloons can fly into the sky and be noticed by anyone within miles of it that happens to look up at the sky, balloons are catchy because of how ostentations and colorful they are. People notice their bright beauty because of how eye-grabbing the things are, even when they are confined to earth or being held down and stopped from flying by someone else."

"text": "The Meaning of Houses In Dreams Houses in dreams are the symbolic representation of the dreamer’s sense of self. No matter what other imagery or circumstances may present themselves in a dream, a house should be considered an unconscious expression of your sense of personal identity. This also applies to any home-like dwelling, such as an apartment, hotel room, trailer, grass hut or any of the possibilities of “home” that exist in the imagination. The perspective or view of the house takes on specific meaning. The front of a house connects to the persona, the part of you that you show the world. The back is what is private or hidden. What you discover on the inside reflects various, compartmentalized aspects of yourself. Side views or alternate angles may connect to presenting yourself in the world in a limited, partial or inaccurate fashion. The size, style, condition and reflection of abundance levels will play a key role in interpreting this symbol in a dream. You will need to consider both the feelings evoked by the house in the dream itself, as well as what comes up for you when comparing it to your actual, waking-life home."

Students combine their knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering with creativity and planning, to design, manufacture, and support machinery and structures used in the agriculture and food processing industries. Agricultural engineers work in teams with mechanical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, manufacturing engineers, and others to create new products and then turn those designs into reality. Agricultural engineers strive to meet the various constraints in their work, such as economic, safety, sustainability, and time. They are effective communicators and understand the role of an engineer in the broader societal context. The UWRF program prepares students for careers in machine design, food process engineering, building design engineering, natural resources engineering, test engineering, safety engineering and other fields related to production and processing of food, fiber, energy and natural systems. Industry Ties The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences already has a strong internship program with students being placed at companies like Bobcat, Hartung Brothers, ADM, Cargill Kitchen Solutions, Case-IH, New Holland, Mac-Don, Adecco, as well as state and local government. The department has long standing connections with a variety of regional industry partners - Cargill Kitchen Solutions, Oxbo International, Case IH (CNH Global NV), CLAAS of America, The Toro Company, The Manitowoc Company, Parker Hannifin - that have experience with our agricultural engineering technology students are are excited to extend their partnership to include our professional engineering program."

Intake and Exhaust Valves Functions and Arrangements The valve arrangement in an engine controls the in and out movements of charge and exhaust gases in the cylinders in relation to the piston positions in their bores. Now-a-days, this is located in the cylinder head on all the engines. Among the commonly used sleeve, sliding, rotary, and poppet type valves, the poppet-valve is most common because this offers reasonable weight, good strength and good heat transfer characteristics. The most popular shape of the poppet-valve (Fig. 3.32) for automobile application uses a small cup at one end of the stem. The valve stem is placed in a guide hole made centrally in a circular passage in the cylinder head. The valve disc head opens and closes the ported passage leading to the cylinder during in and out movement of the stem. Fig."

Hesston, Kansas, USA. The company specialized in farm equipment, including self-propelled windrowers and the Stak Hand hay harvester. In 1977, Fiat purchased an interest in Hesston, and began importing Fiat tractors under the Hesston brand. Hay tools, self-propelled windrowers and skid-steer loaders were manufactured in Hesston, KS and sold in Europe and other parts of the world. In 1991, the hay tools and skid-steer loader portion of the business was purchased by AGCO, and the tractors were discontinued. AGCO entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Case IH to produce hay tools, and renamed the Hesston facility Hay & Forage Industries. They produced Hesston and Case IH branded equipment at that time. In 2000, as part of the merger of Case IH with New Holland to form CNH Global, AGCO bought out Case IH in the joint venture. AGCO has since moved the manufacturing of all AGCO combines and hay tools in North America to Hesston, so Gleaner, Challenger, Massey Ferguson and formerly New Idea combines and hay tools are all manufactured along-side Hesston-branded equipment. Around 2010, AGCO has moved Hesston to be a sub-brand, with swathers and hay tools branded as Hesston by AGCO and malfunction Hesston, and in South America, Valtra Hesston and Agco-Allis Hesston ."

The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations - reaping, threshing, and winnowing - into a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn ( maize ), sorghum, soybeans, flax ( linseed ), sunflowers and canola. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and ploughed back in or baled for bedding and limited-feed for livestock. Combine harvesters are one of the most economically important labour saving inventions, significantly reducing the fraction of the population engaged in agriculture.

"text": "6 minute read Gripen operational cost lowest of all western fighters: Jane’sby Saurabh Joshi • July 4, 2012The operational cost of the Swedish Saab Gripen aircraft is the lowest among a flightline of modern fighters, confirmed a White Paper submitted by the respected international defense publishing group IHS Jane’s, in response to a study commissioned by Saab. The paper says that in terms of ‘fuel used, pre-flight preparation and repair, and scheduled airfield-level maintenance together with associated personnel costs’, “The Saab Gripen is the least expensive of the aircraft under study in terms of cost per flight hour (CPFH).”The study, conducted by Edward Hunt, Senior Consultant, at IHS Jane’s Aerospace and Defense Consulting, compared the operational costs of the Gripen, Lockheed Martin F-16, Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, Dassault’s Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon and the F-35 aircraft. “At an estimated $4,700 per hour (2012 USD), the Gripen compares very favorably with the Block 40 / 50 F-16s which are its closest competitor at an estimated $7,000 per hour,” says the report, adding, “The F-35 and twin-engined designs are all significantly more expensive per flight hour owing to their larger size, heavier fuel usage and increased number of airframe and systems parts to be maintained and repaired. IHS Jane’s believes that aircraft unit cost and size is therefore roughly indicative of comparative CPFH.”In comparison, the figure for the F/A-18 Super Hornet ranged from USD 11000 to USD 24000, depending on degree of operational capability. The figure for the Rafale was USD 16500 per flying hour and number for the Eurofighter Typhoon, derived from British Parliamentary figures and seeming to cover only fuel usage, was USD 8200. But Jane’s estimate of the actual Cost Per Flying Hour for the Eurofighter, keeping in mind supplies and scheduled maintenance raised the figure up to USD 18000. The cost of operation of the F-35 appears to be in a whole other league. Jane’s cites Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) estimates for the conventional F-35 A, assuming operational service over 30 years with 200 hours per year for each aircraft, to amount to USD 21000 per hour of flight. The paper also sources US Navy projections of the cost of operation of the F-35 B & C variants until the year 2029, which come to USD 31000 per flight hour. The report says the figures were based on data sourced from the respective operating militaries and governments, disclosed international fighter competition cost figures (Rafale, F-18 E / F, Gripen), manufacturer-stated figures (F-35, Rafale, F-18 E / F, Gripen) and IHS Jane’s estimates for all aircraft."

Source: NASA Rocket physics, in the most basic sense, involves the application of Newton's Laws to a system with variable mass. A rocket has variable mass because its mass decreases over time, as a result of its fuel (propellant) burning off. A rocket obtains thrust by the principle of action and reaction (Newton's third law). As the rocket propellant ignites, it experiences a very large acceleration and exits the back of the rocket (as exhaust) at a very high velocity. This backwards acceleration of the exhaust exerts a \"\"push\"\" force on the rocket in the opposite direction, causing the rocket to accelerate forward. This is the essential principle behind the physics of rockets, and how rockets work. The equations of motion of a rocket will be derived next. Rocket Physics – Equations Of Motion To find the equations of motion, apply the principle of impulse and momentum to the \"\"system\"\", consisting of rocket and exhaust. In this analysis of the rocket physics we will use Calculus to set up the governing equations."

"text": "Aaron Tilley Forbes Staff Tech 4/30/2015 @ 5:23PM 19,734 views The Apple Watch Sport Only Costs $83.70 To Make AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File The Apple Watch may cost consumers anywhere from $349 to $17,000 depending on how much gold they want, and it looks like Apple will be making a nice margin off the new product. In a teardown of a 38mm Apple Watch Sport, the research firm IHS said it costs an estimated $83.70 to build. That’s only about 24% of the watch’s retail cost. Based on other Apple devices IHS has looked at, this is the lowest hardware cost compared to retail price of any Apple product. The cost of building the device versus retail price range between 29% and 38% for other Apple products, according to past IHS teardowns. IHS estimates that the most expensive part in the watch is the OLED display with Ion-X cover glass, made by Korean electronics company LG, at $20.50. The second priciest part is Apple’s A1 processor, coming in at an estimated $10.20.“It is fairly typical for a first-generation product rollout to have a higher retail price versus hardware cost,” said Kevin Keller, senior principal analyst at IHS, in a statement. “ While retail prices always tend to decrease over time, the ratio for the Apple Watch is lower than what we saw for the i Phone 6 Plus and other new Apple products, and could be of great benefit to Apple’s bottom line if sales match the interest the Apple Watch has generated. ”Still, these component and build costs estimates might not mean much. In Apple’s second quarter 2015 earnings call on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook took aim at these kinds of breakdowns, stating: “I’ve never seen one that is anywhere close to being accurate."

The IHS CERA Upstream Capital Costs Index (UCCI), which tracks costs associated with the construction of new oil and gas facilities rose 3 percent after bottoming out during the previous six month tracking period. Its index score is now 207. The UCCI’s counterpart, the IHS CERA Upstream Operating Costs Index (UOCI), which measures the operating costs for those facilities, rose 1 percent over the same period to register an index score of 173. The indexes are proprietary measures of cost changes similar in concept to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and draw upon proprietary IHS tools to provide a benchmark for comparing costs around the world. Values are indexed to the year 2000, meaning that capital costs of $1 billion in 2000 would now be $207 billion. Likewise, the annual operating costs of a field would now be up from $100 million in 2000 to $173 million. The results reflect costs from Q1 2010 to Q3 2010 and are the first results since the oil well blowout in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The federally-imposed moratorium on offshore drilling issued in the wake of the spill had a significant impact in the Gulf, according to the index. In the deepwater, six rigs left the Gulf for projects elsewhere but the remainder stayed under contract and simply waited out the moratorium."

This is one of the only exercises that works opposing muscle groups at the same time. The movement involves holding a dumbbell directly overhead, so start with a light weight and work your way up after you become comfortable with the exercise. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Basic Movement Sit on a flat weight bench, facing out to the side and holding a dumbbell in both hands. Walk your feet forward and lower your upper body onto the bench. Rest your upper back and shoulders on the bench. Your hips should hang off the edge and be slightly lower than the bench. Place your hands, palms up, around one end of the dumbbell. Hold the dumbbell directly over your head and lock your arms in a slight bend. Inhale and lower the dumbbell in an arc behind your head until you feel a stretch in your chest."

Whenever you bend sideways or twist your body at the hips, these muscles get called into play. If you were to develop well defined rib cage muscles, they would give off the appearance of fingers on your sides. You can build up these muscles by executing the right exercises and using proper form. Step 1Execute a set of barbell pullovers on a bench. Lie perpendicular on the bench with your shoulders flat across the top, your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Your head should be over the edge of the bench but it should be in a straight line. Have a spotter hand you a weighted barbell and hold it directly above your chest with a shoulder-width grip. Keep your arms slightly bent and lower the bar over your head and toward the ground. Stop when you feel a strong contraction on your sides and push the bar back up."

However, if you have winged scapulars, the results are drastically different. Nobody wants their scapulars to be winged as it can lead to many unwanted symptoms such as discomfort or pain. In my case, having a winged scapula meant that my shoulder movement was inhibited. If I tried to raise my arms up in the air, my left arm managed to brush my left ear, however my right arm was not able to go as close to my right ear, as it was on the left. I’d let this problem go for the most part but decided that it was time to do some research into the problem as my shoulder blade area became more and more uncomfortable. It was then that I landed on the idea of a winged scapula. It is in this post, that I lay out all of the best research I have found on the topic, including some of the best exercises to fix your winged scapula. What Is a Winged Scapula? A winged scapula is when you notice that a shoulder blade sticks out from a person back more than it should."

When you move, the main muscle that is responsible for the movement is the prime mover or agonist muscle. As it moves, a second muscle acts as an opposing force to resist the movement. This is the antagonist muscle. When you strength train, it is important to train both your agonist and antagonist muscles equally. Significance When you perform a strength training exercise your prime mover muscle does most of the work. For this reason, it becomes stronger than the other muscles, including the antagonist muscles. For example, when you do a biceps curl, your biceps are the main muscles that are activated, while your opposing muscles, in this case your triceps, are activated to a lesser degree."

Hold a dumbbell at your shoulder height and press it overhead. Do not lead towards the back. Just keep your legs straight as you exercise. Repeat this on both sides. Men who are starting with this shouldn’t use more than 13 percent or their body weight. And women should go with 5. Allow 5 reps each and see the difference."

When pressed even the more experienced lifters have a hard time describing exactly why this concept is important – they just “know” it is. And to the newly initiated this advice can seem counter-intuitive. Isn’t a bench press a pushing exercise? Aren’t the lats a pulling muscle? Aren’t the lats the antagonist in a bench press and if so how they are really contributing so much to the exercise? Let’s examine this topic and answer these pressing questions in more detail (do you see what I did just there?). When it comes to the basics – Fitness 101 so to speak – the pecs are pushing muscles and the lats are pulling muscles. The lats are the main muscles working in lat pulldowns and rows, etc. And at a very basic level, the pecs and the lats are antagonists."

I'd say at least 70% of the time required to complete this routine is being wasted if you really want to hit that objective. Here are a few MAJOR pitfalls: You 'Never Do Legs' (they are about a third or more of your total muscle mass, the biggest muscles in your body are all in your hips and legs, with the only upper body exception really being your lats). You break up tri's and bi's on different days, heck even doing 'arms' on its own day at this point for you is probably pointless. This is a waste of two training days at least. ( Can you squat and deadlift 1.5x your bodyweight? Bench press your bodyweight? Bang off 8 solid strict chin-ups? Crank out 25+ pushups? If not, all this isolation work is very misguided)."

"text": "Latissimus Dorsi: Functional Anatomy Guide November 24, 2014 / Anatomy / By Alex The latissimus dorsi is the largest muscle in the upper body and the widest muscle in the entire body. It acts mainly on the shoulder joint, being the prime mover in both shoulder adduction and shoulder extension (and a strong synergist in internal rotation). Being such a broad muscle that crosses multiple joints, the latissimus dorsi also acts on the scapula, spine and pelvis, to varying degrees. The lats are also part of the Oblique Posterior Subsystem. The left glute work contracts with the right lat (and vice versa) to create tension in the thoracolumbar fascia, through which force is transferred the lower to the upper body. This is seen during the gait cycle, where the left leg and right arm extend back simultaneously. Covering the majority of the back, the latissimus dorsi is part of the superficial posterior axioappendicular (extrinsic shoulder) muscle group. The lat is situated inferior to the teres major and superior to the pelvis. All but a small portion of it is visible from the surface of the body, which lies deep to the lower trapezius. It lies superficial to many muscles, including: the lumbar and thoracic spinal erectors, serratus posterior inferior, and the posterior attachments of the internal / external obliques and serratus anterior."

"text": "\"Training Powerlifting Bulking Up Rules For The Natural Bodybuilder!Hugo Rivera April 09, 2015 • 10 min read In order for a bulk up phase to be effective, it needs to be executed properly. This article will provide a detailed plan on bulking up in the off season; plans included are for beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Check it out!During winter, most bodybuilders decide to bulk up, which in simple terms means eating more and training heavier in order to gain muscle. However, in order for a bulk up phase to be effective, it needs to be executed properly. Otherwise, you end up gaining way too much body fat, which at the end of the day, whether you just want to look good for the beach over the summer or compete at a bodybuilding show, you will need to lose anyways. When To Bulk Up First of all, bulking up is not about eating everything in sight and trying to lift as heavy as possible hoping that all of the increased weight gain will come in the form of muscle. This old school strategy will only lead to excessive fat gain. The best time, in my opinion, to bulk up is after you have been dieting for a long period of time. At this time your body will act like a sponge and absorb all of the nutrients that you give it at peak efficiency in response to the fact that it has not been getting such an influx of nutrients for a while. Also, if you are above 10% body fat, in which case you cannot see your abs, then you need to concentrate on losing body fat up until the point (at the very least) where you can see the top two rows of abs (when you have a four pack)."

If you want to improve leg and back strength, consider adding stiff-legged dumbbell deadlifts to your routine. Stiff-legged dumbbell deadlifts help work a large number of muscles simultaneously, so they can contribute to highly efficient workouts. Hamstrings The primary targets of the stiff-legged dumbbell deadlift are your hamstrings. The hamstrings comprise a group of muscles that run along the back of your thigh. The muscles that make up the hamstrings are the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus. These muscles help flex your knee and extend your leg from the hip, so the hamstrings contribute to literally every step that you take.

Here's how to fast-track your bench press gains in just 2 months!Nothing measures your success in the gym better than the raw numbers you can bench press. Lifters compare one another by how many wheels are on the bar, and even your friends who don't train inquire about how much you can bench. Whatever that number is, inevitably it's not enough. In all your efforts to push more weight on the bar, progress is ultimately measured in the smallest 2.5-pound plates. What you need is a strategy that's going to make dramatic gains—up to 50 pounds—on your bench in just eight weeks. It's a big-picture, strategic approach rather than one that simply entails trying to bench as much as you can each time you show up at the gym. I was 14 years old when I attempted my first max bench press. I threw up 205 pounds at a bodyweight of 170—not too bad if I do say so myself. By the time I graduated high school, I had three wheels on each side of the bar, and it took only a year or two of focused training in powerlifting to finally hit 405 pounds."

All the while, they’re overshadowed by their little brother biceps the star athlete who grabs more attention without working as hard (assisting only back). The key to this analogy is that tri’s are the bigger muscles, despite their lagging reputation. In this article, we tackle the five most common triceps blunders and lay out a course for raising your tri’s to star status.#1 Not stressing all three heads As the name suggests, your triceps have three heads: long (upper inside), medial (lower inside) and lateral (outside). The heads always work together, so it’s impossible to isolate one from the others. However, the angle of your arms changes the emphasis, stressing the heads differently. Too many bodybuilders are unaware of how various exercises hit their tri’s, and thus they typically overemphasize their lateral heads and underemphasize the long and medial heads. Solutions When your arms are straight by your sides with an overhand or a parallel grip (palms facing each other, also known as a neutral grip), the lateral heads are worked most, as during conventional pushdowns. When your arms are straight by your sides with an underhand grip, the medial heads are hit most. Regardless of hand position, the medial heads also assist more on all triceps lifts as the arms reach full extension."

The back muscles also make up some of the muscles of the core, particularly the lats. Developing these muscles will not only give your body great proportion, it will help you have a strong, sturdy base for all kinds of daily activities. The lats, aka the latissimus dorsi, are the large muscles of the back. These muscles are located on either side of the back and travel from the back of the shoulder all the way down to the hips. These muscles are involved in pulling motions, like pulling open a door or, in exercise, doing a pull-up. Because of that movement, typical lat exercises involve a pulling or rowing motion. The following exercises show a variety of ways you can work the lat muscles using dumbbells and resistance bands. Keep in mind these are large muscles so you can typically use a heavier weight, depending on the exercise.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The eagle was a symbol born by men of action, occupied with high and weighty affairs. It was given to those of lofty spirit, ingenuity, speed in comprehension, and discrimination in matters of ambiguity. The wings signify protection, and the gripping talons symbolize ruin to evildoers. The eagle is held to represent a noble nature from its strength and aristocratic appearance, as well as its association with the ancient kings of Persia, Babylon and the Roman legions, having been the official ensign of those empires. Since then, other empires and nations have also adopted the eagle as their symbol, such as the German third reich and the empire conquered by Napoleon. The eagle is also associated with the sun. As a Christian symbol, the eagle represents salvation, redemption and resurrection. The eagle has been represented over the centuries in a variety of different ways: wing tips pointed up or down, wings closed or rising or the eagle displayed from above with one or two heads. Parts of the eagle such as the head, wings, legs or talons, are also often symbols in heraldry."

Pottermore Style Book Style Neither of these to me looks anything like a raven, besides being bird shaped. Is the crest meant to show a raven, or just some sort of bird? I've struggled to find an 'official' rendition of the crest, and this is the best I could find, but I've seen plenty of fan-mad crests that do show a raven, seemingly correcting this 'mistake'. So why does the Ravenclaw symbol show an eagle, and not a Raven?harry-potter hogwartsshare improve this questionedited Dec 8 '12 at 11:42Slytherincess113k 91 572 844asked Dec 8 '12 at 10:32Ancient Sword Rage ♦43.7k 59 323 6711It appears from @Slytherincess' answer that it is intended to be an eagle but I would also point out that the bird in the Pottermore-style crest does look a heck of a lot like all the ravens I have seen, and the bird in the book-style crest looks as much like a raven as it does an eagle (an angry chicken perhaps?). – Kenny Peanuts Dec 8 '12 at 16:087In heraldry, a raven and an eagle are not really distinguishable. Generally, if it's displayed (wings out to either side), then it's an eagle, and if it's in profile (especially if it has something in its beak, and/or if it's fuzzy), then it's a raven. – Martha Dec 8 '12 at 16:2911Gryffindor has a lion as their animal - why don't they have a griffin?"

Sponsored Links If you're pressed for time, you can go directly to Freemason Symbols, however for a truer understanding of why Freemasons use symbols, please continue reading this, first. Many Freemason symbols teach moral lessons through the use of allegory. ( Allegory is when you liken one thing to another thing). Learning the allegorical meanings of Freemasonry's many symbols is not difficult, but it can be easy to confuse the difference between a symbol and an emblem. Some writers use these two words somewhat interchangeably and it is easy to see why. WHAT IS A SYMBOL? Symbols represent a more complex idea by use of the \"\"face value\"\" of a graphical image. A symbol compares one thing with another using a graphical, visual object as a memory aid. A symbol has both a visual \"\"face value\"\" and a secondary more complex meaning which has been ascribed to it."

Answer by Yv Ad Confidence votes 25It could symbolize religious connection, the US, being elevated above your fellows, and some other connotations. Eagle The eagle was a symbol born by men of action, occupied with high and weighty affairs. It was given to those of lofty spirit, ingenuity, speed in comprehension, and discrimination in matters of ambiguity. The wings signify protection, and the gripping talons symbolize ruin to evildoers. The eagle is held to represent a noble nature from its strength and aristocratic appearance, as well as its association with the ancient kings of Persia, Babylon and the Roman legions, having been the official ensign of those empires. Since then, other empires and nations have also adopted the eagle as their symbol, such as the German third Reich and the empire conquered by Napoleon. The eagle is also associated with the sun. As a Christian symbol, the eagle represents salvation, redemption and resurrection."

"text": "\"Faravahar Relief at Persepolis The Faravahar is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of ancient Iran. This religious-cultural symbol was adapted by the Pahlavi dynasty to represent the Iranian nation. The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the \"\"winged sun\"\" hieroglyph appearing on Bronze Age royal seals (Luwian SOL SUUS, symbolizing royal power in particular). In Neo-Assyrian times, a human bust is added to the disk, the \"\"feather-robed archer\"\" interpreted as symbolizing Ashur. While the symbol is currently thought to represent a Fravashi (c. a guardian angel) and from which it derives its name, what it represented in the minds of those who adapted it from earlier Mesopotamian and Egyptian reliefs is unclear. Because the symbol first appears on royal inscriptions, it is also thought to represent the 'Divine Royal Glory' (khvarenah), or the Fravashi of the king, or represented the divine mandate that was the foundation of a king's authority. This relationship between the name of the symbol and the class of divine entities it represents, reflects the current belief that the symbol represents a Fravashi. However, there is no physical description of the Fravashi is in the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, and in Avestan the entities are grammatically feminine. In present-day Zoroastrianism, the faravahar is said to be a reminder of one's purpose in life, which is to live in such a way that the soul progresses towards frasho-kereti, or union with Ahura Mazda, the supreme divinity in Zoroastrianism."

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

Do not accept the status quo, but rather reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Look at things from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities that you may not yet be able to see. You are about to take flight. History The Native Indians saw the Eagle as a symbol for great strength, leadership and vision. As if to seemingly mirror this, the eagle has been used as a 'banner' by many of the great empires throughout history, from Babylon to Egypt, through to Rome and even the United States. In early Christianity the eagle was seen as a symbol of hope and strength, representing salvation. The eagle appears twice in the book of Revelation; both times in a context that suggests it is on the side of God. In Islam, the eagle represents warlike ferocity, nobility and dominion."

They all have an ecclesial dimension. They are part of our patrimony in the Church and perhaps it would be a good idea to explore again — or possibly for the first time — their inner meaning and message. In the early era of the Church during the times of Christian persecution, the use of symbols was very prevalent, and a means of being identified as to belonging to Christ, thus witnessing to other Christians. They were if you like, the password in times of persecution. Christian symbols can be seen carved upon the graves and walls of the early Christian catacombs in Rome, especially St Priscilla, Domitilla, and Calixtus. By taking time to reflect upon each individual symbol we are brought into timeless contact with our brothers and sisters of the Christian Faith down through the ages and here it is important to remember our Catholic teaching on the Communion of St.s, all those past and present: the Church Militant on earth, the Church Suffering in Purgatory, and the Church Victorious in Heaven — all alive to one another, praying, interceding for one another."

Evil, Good, benevolent, malevolent, guardian, punisher, Satan, Christ, the Gryphon has been all these and more. The numerous symbolic characteristics of the Gryphon made it a popular charge in Heraldry, which at it's base is nothing more than glorified personal symbolism. Even in today's scientific age we still are able to recognize the imagery of this beast. In the picture to the left, for example, is a golden Gryphon, watching over the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas, just as it used to guard gold mined from the earth so many years ago. In fact, Sir Thomas Browne states in his Vulgar Errors that man's \"\"creation\"\" of the Gryphon may very well have stemmed from the beast's highly symbolic nature. ( Which is practically the only redeeming virtue he leaves to Gryphons.) Below is a list of the various symbolic aspects of the Gryphon, and why it has become associated with each.

An electrocardiogram can tell your doctor a lot about your heart and how it is working. This test can help your doctor learn more about your heart rhythm, the size and function of the chambers of your heart, and your heart muscle. A healthy person’s electrocardiogram has a certain pattern. When there are changes in that pattern, your doctor can tell that there is a problem with your heart. For example, during a heart attack, the EKG machine records the changing pattern of the heart’s electrical activity. How does it work? For your heart to beat, an electrical impulse is sent from the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is located in your heart. The SA node helps your heart keep a steady pace. An electrocardiogram can trace the path of electrical energy that is sent from the SA node and through your heart."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Heart Diseases What is \"\"possible Anteroseptal infarct on an ECG? My ECG listed a \"\"possible Anteroseptal infarct\"\" with a pule of 97. What does that mean?1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It means you *MAY* have had a heart attack at some time in the past (Yes, it is perfectly possible to have a heart attack without knowing (or feeling) anything about it; it is called a silent heart attack) An anteroseptal infarction refers to the specific area of the heart which has died because it did not receive bloodflow during the \"\"heart attack\"\" episode.. Anteroseptal refers to the front of the heart above the wall (or septum) which divides the left side from the right side of the heart. Typically it is one of the tributaries of the main blood vessel (the left anterior artery) that supplies that part of the heart that becomes blocked thus triggering the anteroseptal infarct. ( Infarct is just the proper medical name for a heart attack). As other people have said though a single ECG is not conclusive of anything. You *may* have had a heart attack but you equally well *may not* have done. Sometimes it is something as simple as the way you were laying down that leads to a false reading on ECGs. Hopefully you already have an appointment with a cardiologist to discuss things further and possibly repeat the ECG, do blood tests etc. If not, go to your GP and ask to see a cardiologist for more information and investigations."

[ 1] Often one of the main differentials is cardiac chest pain and ruling this out in patients who might be otherwise well or only have one or two cardiac risk factors, can be difficult. Exercise tolerance testing (ETT) is one method which is used to determine the presence of significant coronary heart disease. ETT has been quoted as having a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 70% in detecting coronary artery disease (CAD). [ 2] Thus, a negative test may not necessarily be true and further testing or advice may be warranted. Diagnostic accuracy is also poor in women and this may relate to smaller heart size. [ 3] For this reason, ETT is being superseded by cardiac imaging techniques, such as myocardial perfusion scans, in some centres. Even so, ETT can be valuable when performed in selected patients and the following criteria have been suggested: [ 4]Ability to exercise. Normal baseline 12-lead ECG. No previous cardiac revascularisation."

If you have an underlying heart issue, insurance companies will underwrite you based on that specific heart issue. Keep in mind that each company is different and that while one company may decline you, others may be available to you. Five months of underwriting - there must be something wrong with the file, agent, or company as it shouldnt take this long. send them a request in writing asking for decision or details."

Answer by Cassandra Lifesnadir Confidence votes 36.0KWith my Registered Nurse background, I most enjoy helping people understand normal anatomy and body functions. In medical terminology, anterior means front. Infarction refers to a 'heart attack', which is an area of injury to heart muscle in which part of the heart muscle ceases to work. At an undetermined age means the patient does not know or does not remember when the cardiac symptoms happened, or means the person had a \"\"silent myocardial infarction\"\" or a \"\"heart attack without symptoms\"\". So it means death of a portion of the heart muscle at the front of the heart but how long ago is unknown.14 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No What is an anterior infarction? An infarction (death of tissue due to decreased blood supply) of the anterior wall of the heart. That's the part of the hearts wall that faces out."

"text": "Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy ( ARVC; also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia – (ARVD)) is a heart muscle disease that can cause life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities and, rarely, significant “weakening” of the right side of the heart. ARVC is caused by a defect in the ‘glue’ that holds the muscle cells of the heart together. As the heart muscle is continuously stretching and contracting, the ‘glue’ breaks down, the muscle cells separate and some die. The body then tries to repair this by replacing the normal heart muscle cells with scar and fat tissue. This process creates small islands of heart tissue that do not conduct electrical signals in the normal way and are not able to contract in the normal way. This allows abnormal ‘short-circuits’ to develop, which cause the heart rhythm abnormalities that define the condition. Initially, only small areas of the right ventricle may be affected but the condition may progress over time, becoming more widespread and even involving the left ventricle. In fact, some forms only affect the left ventricle. ARVC is thought to affect between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 5,000 people, depending on which area of the world has been studied and the definition of the condition used. The disease affects men and women equally and has been recognised in people from many ethnic backgrounds."

"text": "Home » Harvard Health Blog » Silent heart attacks: Much more common than we thought in both men and women - Harvard Health Blog Silent heart attacks: Much more common than we thought in both men and women Posted June 10, 2016, 9:30 am Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH Editor in Chief, Harvard Heart Letter On television, heart attacks are portrayed in rather dramatic fashion — typically, an older man clutching his chest with agonizing pain. This mental image is embedded in our culture, but it actually represents only a small fraction of heart attacks. As it turns out, a variety of different symptoms may develop with a heart attack. In addition to chest pain, some of the other symptoms that can occur with a heart attack include chest pressure, chest heaviness, arm pain, neck pain, jaw pain, shortness of breath, sweating, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. That is, in part, why it is not always so easy to diagnose a heart attack. And of course, women are also at risk for heart attacks. Whether women are more likely than men to have these symptoms other than chest pain remains a controversial point. Now, research from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study has found that almost half (45%) of heart attacks appear to be clinically silent — that is, not associated with any symptoms at all, at least that the patient can recall. These sorts of silent heart attacks were picked up by use of a routine electrocardiogram (ECG). And these silent heart attacks weren’t just a meaningless abnormality picked up on a test."

"text": "Loop Recorder (Wires attached to electrodes are inserted in the top). Related Articles: Heart Disease in Women Heart Disease Testing What Is A Heart Event Monitor? Event Monitors are medical devices which are used for heart disease testing and the diagnosis of chest pain. They record a person's heart electrical activity (ECG) and are usually prescribed by a doctor to diagnose a heart arrhythmia. Where a Holter Monitor records ECG continuously over a 24 to 48 hour period, an Event Monitor records intermittently over a few weeks or months. This may be necessary because a standard external electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) or a 24 hour Holter Monitor has not managed to capture relevant data for a diagnosis. Some patient may only show symptoms of a heart problem infrequently and unpredictably. Although an Event Monitor can be taken off for bathing it should be worn 24 hours a day. Event monitors tend to be smaller than Holters because they need to store less information - they only record when an incidence occurs as opposed to continual recording. There are different types of Event Monitors, some which require sticking patches with wires to the chest area and linking the wires to a recording device."

What are the current types of pre-participation physical exams? Why is the medical history the most important component of the PPPE? By Terry Zeigler, Ed D, ATCThis is the time of year when hundreds of young athletes are lining up for pre-participation physical exams (PPPE). Pre-participation physical exams are required for athletes to participate in middle school and high school sports and summer camps. With the increased media attention on including electrocardiograms as part of PPPEs for the purpose of detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes,pre-participation physical exams are receiving more consideration (Maron, B., 2010). Specifically, sports medicine personnel are reviewing the quality and what is required in these exams to ensure that they are sufficient to identify young athletes who may be at risk for further injury or possible sudden death. What is the purpose of a PPPE? The purpose of the PPPE is to identify athletes that may be at risk for further injury or illness and to refer these athletes for additional medical evaluation prior to allowing them to participate. The specific purposes include the following:• To identify athletes at risk of sudden death • To identify medical conditions that may require further evaluation and treatment before participation • To identify orthopedic conditions that may require further evaluation and treatment, including physical therapy, before participation • To identify at-risk adolescents and young adults who are at risk for substance abuse, STDs, pregnancy, violence, depression, and so on • To satisfy legal requirements of athletic governing boards Identification of athletes who may be at risk for sudden death is currently a hot topic in the world of sports medicine."

Electroencephalography Epileptic spike and wave discharges monitored with EEG [ edit on Wikidata]Electroencephalography ( EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp, although invasive electrodes are sometimes used such as in electrocorticography. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. [ 1] In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, [1] as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp. Diagnostic applications generally focus either on event-related potentials or on the spectral content of EEG. The former investigates potential fluctuations time locked to an event like stimulus onset or button press. The latter analyses the type of neural oscillations (popularly called \"\"brain waves\"\") that can be observed in EEG signals in the frequency domain."

"text": "Start Your Career as an Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist October 25, 2017 Ian Morrow If you’re considering careers in allied healthcare, you should look into the possibility of working as an electroneurodiagnostic technologist, also known as a neurodiagnostic technologist, NDT, and EEG technologist. With a doctor’s prescription, electroneurodiagnostic techs administer a variety of advanced neurological tests (like electroencephalographs an electromyographs) to gain a better understanding of brain, nervous system, and sleep issues in patients. EEG techs help physicians search for clues related to Parkinson’s multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, migraines, head trauma, and more. With a quick path to the workplace, good pay, high demand, and a flexible work environment, there are many reasons to look into a career as an EEG tech!1. You Could be Working Sooner than You Think There are multiple pathways to becoming an electroneurodiagnostic technologist. In fact, you have the option of obtaining an associate’s degree, or a technical certificate by completing aneurodiagnostic technology program. Most students who attend accredited EEG school choose to pursue a technical certificate, which usually takes just over one year to complete. For prospective students who have full-time jobs or families, many allied health programs offer day or evening course opportunities. This accommodates learners with varying schedules to tackle their classroom responsibilities. What’s more, evening programs are often available as well, however, these courses usually take longer to complete."

"text": "An electroencephalogram (EEG) evaluates electrical activity produced by the brain, which can signify or rule out certain conditions, most commonly seizure disorders. The test takes about an hour to complete, and the results are automatically sketched on paper, while a video monitor records the movement of the patient, which can disrupt the test. It is easier to read an EEG of an adult than one of a child, since there is less variance in brain activity. There is often so much variance in brain activity that a reading taken on a child may be consistent with epilepsy where none exists. Generally, seizure disorder in children, without the presence of identifiable seizures, requires additional testing to have confirmed results. As a test progresses, if it is used to examine seizure disorder, a person may be directed to look at flashing lights, which might trigger a seizure. The lights are stopped if the readings show that a person is in pre-seizure mode. This means that the person generally doesn’t have a seizure during the test, but that it shows electrical activity consistent with what would become a seizure. An EEG may also be used to evaluate other conditions. For example, people who come to a hospital in an altered state of consciousness, perhaps after a head injury, would probably have this test performed."

The test is done in the following way: You lie on your back on a bed or in a reclining chair. Flat metal disks called electrodes are placed all over your scalp. The disks are held in place with a sticky paste. The electrodes are connected by wires to a recording machine. The machine changes the electrical signals into patterns that can be seen on a monitor or drawn on paper. These patterns look like wavy lines.

The EEG proved to be a useful source in recording brain activity over the ensuing decades.

"text": "What is Neurofeedback? Neurofeedback teaches the brain to change itself and helps attention, mood, behavior, cognition, and more. In simple terms, neurofeedback is positive reinforcement for the brain. It teaches the brain how to be better balanced by feedback through tiny sensors that temporarily stick to the scalp with a small amount of paste. The neurofeedback device measures brain waves and teaches the brain to make healthier patterns by rewarding the brain when it does so. Once these healthier brain patterns are practiced and learned, the effects of neurofeedback tend to hold, at least for many problems. As someone’s brain learns to improve and better modulate its own regulation, medication can often reduced. Sometimes, it allows medications that weren’t working well to work better.

How does an EEGwork? The billions of nerve cells in your brain produce very small electrical signals that form patterns called brain waves. During an EEG, small electrodes and wires are attached to your head. The electrodes detect your brain waves and the EEG machine amplifies the signals and records them in a wave pattern on graph paper or a computer screen (Fig. 1). Figure 1.

Fifty-seven attacks were captured by video/EEG monitoring. Simultaneous EEG, transcranial (middle cerebral artery) doppler, and continuous arterial pressure measurements were obtained for at least one typical attack of each patient. They all experienced a compulsion to precipitate their attacks. Episodes started with a stereotyped phase of stretching associated with neck torsion and breath holding, followed by a variable degree of loss of consciousness and asymmetric, recurrent facial and upper limb jerks in the more prolonged episodes. Significant sinus tachycardia coincided with the phase of stretching and was followed within 9–16 seconds by rhythmic generalized slow wave abnormalities on the EEG in attacks with impairment of consciousness. Transcranial doppler studies showed a dramatic drop in cerebral perfusion in the middle cerebral arteries during the episodes. The combination of the stereotyped semiology of the attacks, the pseudofocal myoclonic jerking, and the rhythmic generalized slow wave EEG abnormalities with the tachycardia make differential diagnosis from epilepsy challenging.

Six healthy subjects were studied for 7 consecutive weeks with standard polysomnographic recordings. Variations in REM density were assessed in the recovery nights following a gradual sleep restriction, obtained by postponing the sleep onse time while maintaining the final awakening time constant. Results indicate that sleep curtailment decreases REM density in the ensuing recovery nights; the decrease is linearly related to the amount of sleep curtailment. The decrease in REM density parallels an increase in SWS, while no corresponding variation was found neither in the duration of paradoxical sleep nor in the latency of any other sleep stage.

I call some of these epileptiform encephalopathies. These would be specific epileptic syndromes that are associated with frequent epileptiform activity on the electroencephalogram (EEG). Frequently, we may see these during sleep, so we may have an EEG that becomes very sleep-activated. This would be called electrical status epilepticus of sleep (ESES).

"text": "Hello, meet my son Joshua! He is six years old, and he has a rare epilepsy known as Continuous Spikes and Waves of Slow Wave Sleep Syndrome (CSWS). This syndrome is commonly referred to as Electrical Status Epilepticus During Sleep (ESES). It appears to be quite rare comprising of less than 1% of all childhood epilepsies. The exact number of cases is unknown; however, it is believed that there are less than 1000 documented cases worldwide. When your child is diagnosed with this condition, the journey can prove to be quite confusing. This is because not much is known about the condition and the terms or abbreviations—CSWS, ESES, and Landau Kleffner Syndrome (LKS)—are often used interchangeably. It is my understanding that ESES refers to the unique EEG pattern of near continuous slow spike and wave activity on the EEG which occupies a significant portion of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). What is considered “significant” is debatable, and some authors suggest thresholds range from 25% to 85%. CSWS refers to the epileptic encephalopathy associated with global regression."

One type of voltmeter is a direct-current voltmeter. When taking a voltage reading the instrument is placed across the portion of the circuit that is to be measured. Direct-Current Voltmeter The direct-current voltmeter has a horseshoe shaped magnet, with a semicircular piece of soft iron attached to each end of the magnet. The iron is also magnetized. The iron ends of the magnet serve to direct the magnetic field in the direction of a small iron cylinder that is positioned between the ends (or poles) of the magnet. Taking advantage of the soft iron's characteristic to become highly magnetized, the iron cylinder focuses the magnetic field. The Electrical Current Surrounding the cylinder is a rectangular frame with a copper wire coil, with the ends of the wire attached to small spiral springs. Attached to the coil is a needle.

"text": "Pilot Lights are Evil Posted on 2012-03-06familyhandyman.com My personal journey into home energy reduction began with taking stock of past energy use as reported on my utility bills. I quickly migrated toward reading the meters directly to gauge the impact of particular activities. What I learned from our gas meter shocked me, and ultimately led to our single-biggest energy-saving behavioral shift. I’ve already ruined any hope of suspense in the title of the post, but just how bad does something have to be before I’ll resort to a word like “evil?” And how bad are your own demons? Ah—now you can’t wait to find out!Gas Gauges and Units We must first confront the asinine measurement and units scheme of the natural gas delivery system. At least it’s asinine in the U. S. For one thing, the billing units are Therms. One Therm is 100,000 Btu, or 1.055×10 8 J, equating to 29.3 k Wh. My main beef with the Therm is that the way my utility bill is formatted, my gas usage in Therms is printed within a few millimeters of my electricity usage in k Wh. Since one may be directly converted to the other (both are units of energy), why not use k Wh for both!?"

"text": "Posted on April 18, 2011 by JINI Health and Gut Stuff As the mother of three children – with thinner skulls, higher water content in their skulls (= higher conductivity) and undeveloped immune systems – it is very important to find out what levels of microwave RF radiation my kids are being exposed to, so that I can take measures to protect them where needed. So the first component of protecting your kids from wireless radiation involves testing and measuring their daily environment for Wi Fi signal strength – school, home, dance or gymnastics studio, friends’ houses, etc. Anywhere your kids spend over an hour continuously should be tested (in my opinion) so at least you can get a good idea of their daily radiation exposure. Baubiologie – standard Building Biology testing methods – lists RF safety readings in the home (especially in sleeping areas) in the following manner: No Concern – less than 0.10 microwatts/m2 (microwatts per meter squared)Slight Concern – 0.10 – 10 microwatts/m2Severe Concern – 10 – 1000 microwatts/m2Extreme Concern – greater than 1000 microwatts/m2Magda Havas Ph D recommends that (especially for children) microwave radiation levels do not exceed 0.10 microwatts/cm2 (per centimetre squared) and indoor areas do not exceed .001 microwatts/cm2. In my recent teleseminar with her, she said:“We did a study just last– a few years ago, itʼs just coming out this year, where we tested the response of the heart to microwave radiation and the arc exposure was 0.3 microwatts/cm2, so itʼs 3 times higher than that guideline that I just mentioned – and several of the people we tested blindly, so it wasnʼt a psycho-somatic response, they developed tachycardia which is a rapid heart rate and arrhythmia instantly as soon as we exposed them to the radiation from a cordless phone at 2.4 GHz. So, if adults start having those symptoms and I know quite a few adults who have them, they suddenly feel; their heart starts beating, they have this pressure and pain in the chest area, theyʼre having an anxiety attack, thatʼs how the interpret it, or theyʼre having a heart attack and they donʼt know which and it scares them incredibly. Well, children are now beginning to have these problems. ”Once you know what you’re dealing with, then you can take steps to reduce or eliminate their radiation load – I’ll get into all that in a separate article. For now, let’s just look at what RF meters are on the market, at what price, and what each of them do to measure wifi signal strength – so that you can find the right one for your needs and budget. As a mom, you’ll likely want to test primarily for: Radiation from Wi Fi routers in your kids school – where is the safest place to sit in the classroom?"

Show credits It is often useful to characterize an environment, such as a body of water, by measuring its p H and electrical conductivity (EC). p H is a measure of the acidity of the water or soil based on its hydrogen ion concentration and is mathematically defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration, or p H = -log [H + ], where the brackets around the H + symbolize \"\"concentration\"\" The p H of a material ranges on a logarithmic scale from 1-14, where p H 1-6 are acidic, p H 7 is neutral, and p H 8-14 are basic. Lower p H corresponds with higher [H + ], while higher p H is associated with lower [H + ]. Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measurement of the dissolved material in an aqueous solution, which relates to the ability of the material to conduct electrical current through it. EC is measured in units called Seimens per unit area (e.g. m S/cm, or mili Seimens per centimeter), and the higher the dissolved material in a water or soil sample, the higher the EC will be in that material. How Are p H and Electrical Conductivity Measured? A meter and probe or litmus paper can be used to measure the p H of a sample. The more accurate, but expensive, of these methods is the meter and probe. p H meters are calibrated using special solutions, or buffers with a known p H value."

The same textbooks I found lacking in technical clarity I also found lacking in coverage of electrical safety, hence the creation of this chapter. Its placement after the first two chapters is intentional: in order for the concepts of electrical safety to make the most sense, some foundational knowledge of electricity is necessary. Another benefit of including a detailed lesson on electrical safety is the practical context it sets for basic concepts of voltage, current, resistance, and circuit design.

Epinephrine and Adrenaline are basically two words for the same hormone. What does epinephrine do? In your body, Epinephrine is produced in the adrenal gland, more specifically in the medulla of the adrenal glands. The major reactions it produces are faster heart rate and it opens up the bronchioles in your lungs essentially preparing the body to “fight or flee.” The benefit for asthma sufferers is that epinephrine counteracts the asthma attack by opening the bronchioles in the lungs. It enables the Asthma sufferers to breath again. Epinephrine is found in small amounts and is critical for diverting blood to tissues when the body is under stress. Pharmaceutical epinephrine has been used successfully for almost a century as an effective version of the naturally occurring hormone."

Ig E-mediated food allergies cause your child’s immune system to react abnormally when exposed to one or more specific foods such as milk, egg, wheat or nuts. Children with this type of food allergy will react quickly — within a few minutes to a few hours. Immediate reactions are caused by an allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (Ig E) antibody that floats around in the blood stream. The most common food allergens include: Milk Egg Soy Wheat Peanut Tree nuts Fish Shellfish All of these foods can trigger anaphylaxis (a severe, whole-body allergic reaction) in patients who are allergic. Food allergies are common: 5 percent of children under the age of five have a food allergy and roughly 4 percent of adolescents and adults have a food allergy. The prevalence of food allergies does seem to be increasing. Researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are evaluating the genetics of food allergy and possible reasons for the increase in all allergic conditions. Researchers believe many factors may play a role in food allergy development including maternal diet during pregnancy, timing of food introduction, and breastfeeding status. If you have an “allergic family” — one that includes family members with asthma, environmental allergies and eczema — your child has an increased risk for allergy."

Persons exposed only to hydrogen peroxide gas do not pose risks of secondary contamination to personnel outside the Hot Zone. However, persons whose clothing or skin is contaminated with concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution can secondarily contaminate personnel by direct contact or through off-gassing vapor. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear, colorless, noncombustible liquid. It is a powerful oxidizing agent; when it comes in contact with organic material, spontaneous combustion can occur. Odor does not provide a warning of hazardous concentrations. Hydrogen peroxide is not absorbed by the skin, but can cause systemic toxicity when inhaled or ingested.top General Information Description Pure hydrogen peroxide is a crystalline solid below 12¨¬F and a colorless liquid with a bitter taste above 12¨¬F. It is almost always used as an aqueous solution, which is available in dilute form (3% to 10%) for household use and in concentrated form (greater than 30%) for industrial use. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, decomposing readily to oxygen and water with release of heat. Commercial peroxide products contain a stabilizer (usually acetanilide) to slow the rate of spontaneous decomposition. Hydrogen peroxide is nonflammable, but it is a powerful oxidizing agent that can cause spontaneous combustion when it comes in contact with organic material."

Approximately 25 percent of U. S. adult females and 20 percent of U. S. adult males are obese (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2002). Over the last two decades, the number of cases of obesity in the U. S. has increased more than 50 percent (from 14.5 percent of the adult population to 22.5 percent). The primary cause of weight gain is an energy intake that constantly exceeds the amount of physical activity or energy expenditure of an individual. According to Blair and Nichaman (2002), a decrease in regular physical activity, and not an increase in energy intake, is responsible for the recent increase in obesity prevalence. With the rising incidence of obesity there has been an increasing interest in investigating the determinants of fat metabolism (the complete breakdown of fat into usable energy) at rest and during exercise. Enhancing fat metabolism has become a key component in the battle of the bulge for many of our clients. Current research shows that, although exercise and training increase the amount of fat metabolized, there may be gender differences in the way we store and metabolize fat during rest and exercise. This article will provide an in-depth review on fat metabolism and explore the possible mechanisms involved in the differences in fat metabolism between men and women."

The beta-blocker actually blocks the receptor sites on the cells so the epinephrine or norpeinephrine can not attach, thereby blocking the chemical pathway and the anxiety causing response. Propranolol will address some of the symptoms you experience when anxious such as increased blood pressure. You are on a relatively low dose. People who need the medication for heart related conditions can expect to remain on the medication for long term. Are you doing anything else to learn to control the anxiety so to not have to continue taking this med?

Traynor, MD; Daniel Frazier, NR-P; Frank Killebrew,; Jennifer Berry, BA, NREMTContents Introduction Receptor Theory Physiology Autonomic Receptors Autonomic Medications Autonomic Pathology Conclusion References Share this article: Introduction The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the control of a wide variety of body functions. Through a process of chemical signaling and neurotransmitters, significant control is exerted over such crucial physiologic events as cardiovascular response and pulmonary mechanics. Through use of pharmacology, the medical provider may apply their knowledge of these systems to modify human response and interrupt pathological processes. A solid understanding of autonomic physiology and medications is vital to the clinical practice of the prehospital provider. Receptor Theory Although the end result of using an autonomic medication can be large and create obvious clinical changes, such as a rapid heart rate or resolution of wheezing, the mechanism of action occurs at the molecular level. The concept of receptors and their activating chemicals is the key to the understanding of autonomic pharmacology. Within the body, changes to meet the demands of external or internal stimuli are controlled by a process of chemical signaling molecules, neurotransmitters, and their associated receptors. The neurotransmitters can be released from many organs, including nerves, the brain, and the adrenal glands. These chemicals are often small single molecules that freely circulate throughout the body. Various tissues have receptor sites on their surfaces; these sites act as the lock for which the neurotransmitter is the key."

Browse our website for one that fits your car. We have a great choice at very good prices. The purpose of the expansion tank is to protect and store excess coolant. It is a reservoir that stores the overflow of coolant caused by expansion when the liquid has reached a high temperature; without an expansion tank this excess coolant would leak onto the road. Coolant (an equal mix of antifreeze and water) is a liquid that circulates through the car’s cooling system to stop the engine overheating. The expansion tank catches the inevitable overspill of this all-important fluid and recirculates it around the engine. The engine’s cooling system works by heating the coolant in the radiator to its required operating temperature. When this temperature is reached the liquid expands and is forced out of the radiator through the radiator cap. This is where the expansion tank comes into play."

The full/max line of your reservoir tank is the expected level when the engine is COLD, and the empty space above it is meant for the expansion. If the level is below the full/max line you can add some water/antifreeze mix into the reservoir up to the max line. If you go over the max line it's not a big deal but you will be spilling the excess coolant and just be wasting it.

When water is heated it expands. For example, water heated from 90°F to a thermostat setting of 140°F in a 40 gallon hot water heater will expand by almost one-half gallon. This is because when water is heated, its density decreases and its volume expands (see below). Since water is not compressible, the extra volume created by expansion must go someplace. During no-flow periods in a system, pressure reducing valves, backflow preventers, and other one-way valves are closed, thus eliminating a path for expanded water to flow back to the system supply. Hence, system pressure increases. Temperature vs Density Thermal expansion of water in a closed plumbing system can create a number of annoying and potentially dangerous problems. These include: the build up of unusually high pressure in a system (even when a pressure reducing valve is installed); pressure surges; and the chronic or continuous dripping of a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve."

"text": "\"Science Physics Motion & Mechanics Q: How Does an Expansion Tank Work? A: Quick Answer Expansion tanks function on the principle of thermal expansion, stating that water expands when heated. When the water tank is heated its volume will expand significantly and the overflow will spill into the expansion tank, which is attached to the water supply pipe and prevents the water pressure of the main water tank from getting too high. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Does Steam Power Work? How Do Water Pressure Booster Pumps Work? How Does a Gas Hot Water Tank Work? Full Answer The thermal expansion tank is attached to the water supply pipe from which the water tank's overflow travels through. Because water is noncompressible, the pressure builds as it expands. This means that the pressure could damage the water supply pipes, valves and water heater itself if an overflow outlet is not available. Thus, the thermal expansion tank, which is filled with compressible air, is used as an overflow tank to relieve the pressure when the water volume increases past the volume of the water tank."

Blickenstorfer As everyone (well, almost everyone) knows, \"\"SCUBA\"\" stands for \"\"Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.\"\" Without air we can't breathe, which means the compressed air tank that supplies you with air as long as you're underwater is of central importance. Air means life, and the container that carries your air therefore means life, which means it has to be absolutely fail-safe. That's why scuba cylinders--which are also referred to as \"\"tanks\"\" or \"\"bottles\"\"--must not only be of high quality, but they are also subject to periodic inspection and testing. Each tank has a series of codes on it and each has inspection and testing stickers. If those are out of date, no responsible, reputable dive shop will refill the tank. As you can see, diving certification agencies take no chances. Imagine if gas stations would refuse to let you fill up your tank if the inspection sticker on your car is expired; that's how strict diving regulations are. While all Scuba tanks serve the same purpose, they come in various shapes, sizes, materials, colors, and pressure ratings. And while most recreational divers carry a single bottle, there are also twin tanks that share a single regulator or even feed separate regulators for more advanced diving."

On the topic of steam and thermal and operational efficiency, I got my poppa's ancient Keenan and Keyes, Thermodynamic Properties of Steam out to crunch some numbers on, what else, the Big Boy. I have used those \"\"steam tables\"\" to do calculations on dehumidifiers and air conditioners, but it just dawned on me: there is a lot of information relative to steam locomotive thermal efficiency in there. Based on averages of several sources, I have come up with the numbers that the Big Boy consumed 28 tons of coal and 24,000 gallons of water running at a constant 40 MPH for about 1 hour climbing Sherman Hill. Go ahead and nitpick my numbers, but I believe that I am at least in the general ball park. It had 68\"\" drivers, 24\"\" bore by 32\"\" stroke cylinders in rounded numbers, and if I understand double-acting, double-engined, simple-expansion steam correctly, there are 8 cylinder strokes per revolutions of the 68\"\" wheels 67 cubic feet of swept cylinder volume for every 17.8 linear feet of travel. OK. 28 tons of coal in an hour. I heard they were using Western coal, so I will assume 9000 BTU/lb or a total of 504 million BTU's to make the hill climb. 24,000 gallons of water in an hour."

Water in the tank can cause corrosion, not only in the tank, but throughout the system. I am forced to disagree with the gentleman who says alcohol causes more damage by carrying the water all through the system, as all gas line antifreezes contain ethyl alcohol, as does MOST gasoline you buy at the pump. The water mixes with the alcohol and is carried through the whole system, and will pass through the combustion chamber, possibly even giving a slight boost to power. It seems water has a tremendous amount of expansive power when it flashes over to steam, using the heat of combustion to cause the phase change.12.7k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below How do you remedy water in your gas tank?

We see it every year, as soon as spring breaks into summer, the calls and e-mails center around overheating BMWs and MINIs. Be it a well worn ‘79 320i, a pristine ‘89 M6, a rather new ‘08 X5 or a young MINI Cooper S, they all eventually start showing signs of needed cooling system maintenance or repair. The cooling systems on our BMWs and MINIs are fairly simple, once you understand what’s involved, but they do include a few different parts and systems within the vehicle.

Meme Status Confirmed Year2003Origin Pokemopolis Tags4chan, anonymous, emoticons, mascot, 1990s Additional References Encyclopedia Dramatica About Awesome Face, also known as “epic smiley”, refers to a drawing of a round yellow-colored smiley face with upturned eyes. It has been predominantly used on sites and web forums like Something Awful and 4chan as a reaction face indicating approval, but can also be used ironically to convey disdain. Origin According to Chris Ainsworth of the gaming blog Driph [1], the Awesome Face was part of a series of emoticons designed and illustrated for the Pokemon-related web forum Pokemopolis. He claims to have contacted the creator of the image, and published the following correspondence: I drew the icon years ago as part of an emoticon set he wanted for their new forum software, and I think he showed you all the other ones that were designed along with it. I’m not really sure what exactly I wanted it to represent but I think the ‘ridiculous childish glee’ that it now signifies is probably close!Spread The Awesome Face gained popularity through popular forums and image boards, most notably on the Something Awful forums and 4chan’s image boards. On January 30th, 2007, a forum thread was posted to Something Awful titled “ NEWEMOTICON HITS SOMETHING AWFUL – BUT HOW POPULAR IS TOO POPULAR ?” ["

As for grenades, you only drop one grenade, and that's the one in the first grenade slot. The most-likely order is: HE, Flashbang, Smoke, Incendiary, Decoy.

"text": "\"news The Main Reason Jennifer Lawrence May Quit Playing Mystique By Adam Holmes2 years ago Because X-Men: Apocalypse is the final entry in the franchise’s \"\"First Class\"\" trilogy, this also means that the contracts for the trilogy’s main quartet of stars will expire. This includes Jennifer Lawrence, who has played the shapeshifting Mystique since 2011. Earlier this year, Lawrence implied that the 2016 blockbuster will be her final X-Men film, and while now she isn’t 100% certain about leaving anymore, she did give a reason for why she might not want to reprise Mystique: the makeup. Lawrence told EW that although she likes working on the films, she’s grown tired of the blue body paint she has to wear for Mystique’s natural form. Although she originally wasn’t bothered by the paint’s \"\"fumes and toxins\"\" when she signed onto X-Men: First Class, now she has a different perspective. According to Lawrence: Now I’m almost 25 and I’m like, ‘I can’t even pronounce this and that’s going in my nose? I’m breathing that? Despite her aversion to the body paint and adhesives, Lawrence doesn't rule out returning to the franchise, admitting that she wouldn’t \"\"not want to be asked \"\" to reprise her role. Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult previously mentioned that they’d be open to returning as Magneto and Beast, respectively, but so far there haven’t been any contract extensions announced. Although Mystique has been one of the series’ most important characters in recent years, the process of putting the paint and applications on Lawrence takes hours, and combined with these fumes, no one would blame the actress if she’s had enough."

You can't talk sense into some people. You just can't. So here's the skinny on how long a foreclosure stays on your credit report: 7 years. There are three reasons that well-educated people, for some ungodly reason, seem to want to believe that foreclosures stay on your credit report for ten years or more: 1.)

The implant is surgically placed in the inner ear, stimulating the auditory nerve in the brain, while a headset helps the patient interpret sounds and voices. Typical costs: Cochlear implant surgery, including the implant itself, averages between $30,000 and $50,000 for patients without insurance. Some insurance companies do cover the cost of a cochlear implant; the average deductible in the U. S. is about $530 for an individual and $1,100 for a family, and copays range between $5 and $500 for individuals and families, depending upon the plan. In addition to the implant, external pieces include a transmitter, which costs between $74 and $100; and a speech processor, which costs between $6,700 and $9,000. Cochlear implant surgery requires as many as three pre-surgery office visits. For children, these visits can each cost between $240 and $570, but the national average is $450. For adults, the typical office visit costs between $160 and $385, but the national average is $216. After the surgery, the cochlear implant will need to be reprogrammed at least five times in the first year. Reprogramming visits cost $102 to $397 for children under age seven, and $88 to $525 for adults, depending upon the clinic and location."

Flag How do you become an insurance claims specialist? Edit Answer by Mama lori Confidence votes 1.1KMost insurance companys require a four year college degree (in just about anything) without prior experience. If you have experience in insurance, body work/shop, construction etc, you may be able to get hired without the degree. Simply apply with any companys you would like to work (there are several web sites, one you might want to check is greatinsurancejobs.com) for there is a long interview process and back ground checks prior to being hired. Any bad driving records generally will get you eliminated immediated, (dui etc), also for obvious reasons, (you are carrying in effect mulit million or billion dollar check books), any felonys/fraud problems will not get you hired. Once you are hired the company will have their own training programs, most will require (at first) a two week training at where ever their training facilities are. Then depending on what type of adjuster you are, there is other training. If you do not have a degree, you could get hired, in a clerical capasity then attempt to 'move up', if you like more details, please don't hesitate to ask, I'll help if I can.........good luck ............15 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "An integration specialist works with computer systems to facilitate clear communication between software, applications and hardware over a variety of networks. Integration specialists usually work for large companies that have extensive computer networks and very high technology needs. Wages and benefits can depend on experience, training, certifications and industry. More training and experience might create better job opportunities for an integration specialist. Schools, scientific research facilities and large companies all have a need for integration specialists to work on their computer systems. These information technology professionals can install and update programs and applications to make sure that communication across the system is smooth. If a conflict develops, such as when two programs cannot be run at the same time, the integration specialist needs to determine why it is happening and develop a plan for addressing the issue. This might include uninstalling or altering software to eliminate the conflict. Integration specialists also work with numerous types of computer systems and mobile devices to get them all to work within the system. This can include desktops, laptops, personal digital assistants, smart phones, tablets and so forth."

"text": "Finding Health Care Services Credit: National Cancer Institute On This Page Choosing a Doctor Getting a Second Opinion Choosing a Treatment Facility Finding Health Insurance Home Care Services If you have been diagnosed with cancer, finding a doctor and a treatment facility for your cancer care is an important step to getting the best treatment possible. You will have many things to consider when choosing a doctor. It’s important for you to feel comfortable with the specialist that you choose because you will be working closely with that person to make decisions about your cancer treatment. Choosing a Doctor When choosing a doctor for your cancer care, it may be helpful to know some of the terms used to describe a doctor’s training and credentials. Most physicians who treat people with cancer are medical doctors (they have an M. D. degree) or osteopathic doctors (they have a D. O. degree). Standard training includes 4 years of study at a college or university, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 7 years of postgraduate medical education through internships and residencies. Doctors must pass an exam to become licensed to practice medicine in their state. Specialists are doctors who have done their residency training in a specific field such as internal medicine. Independent specialty boards certify physicians after they have met needed requirements, including meeting certain education and training standards, being licensed to practice medicine, and passing an examination given by their specialty board. Once they have met these requirements, physicians are said to be “board certified."

Medicare is a federal health insurance program established by Congress in 1965. It provides health care benefits for people 65 or older, people younger than 65 who have certain disabilities, and people of any age who have permanent kidney failure. While it gives basic protection against health care costs, it won’t cover all your medical expenses or the costs of most long-term care. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is the organization that manages Medicare. However, Social Security offices actually enroll applicants into the program and will give you specific information about it. What does Medicare cover? Medicare benefits are divided into two parts. Part A primarily covers inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility care and home health care. Once enrolled in Medicare, you will receive these benefits automatically and do not pay premiums for them (you’ve already paid for them through your taxes)."

The first mission under this contract launched in October 2012. The initial Falcon 9 version 1.0 flew five times from June 2010 to March 2013 and version 1.1 flew fifteen times from September 2013 to January 2016. The current \"\"Full Thrust\"\" version has been in service since December 2015. The Falcon Heavy derivative groups three Falcon 9 first stages together side by side."

( credit: Space X)How much money would it take to launch enterprise into space?by Sam Dinkin Monday, June 8, 2015Comments (101)Estimates of the cost of going to Mars vary. NASA’s Mars reference mission concept was estimated to cost $100 billion for six astronauts under some assumptions. Here’s a grim assumption: all of the government’s expenditures on NASA since its founding until the time that Americans set foot on Mars could be considered the total cost. NASA’s budget in 2014 constant dollars from 1958 to 2014 has totaled $1.086 trillion. If NASA continues spending fiscal year 2015’s estimated $18 billion a year in 2014 dollars for another 16 years through 2030, the total from 1958–2030 would be $1.375 trillion. What if Space X can launch enterprise into orbit at that launch price? What do I mean by “enterprise”? Rand Simberg has started a Kickstarter campaign to help explain how to clear the road to Mars with a big portion of the blame for the high cost going to the SLS."

"text": "Spaceflight Elon Musk has launched Falcon Heavy, but how long does it take to get to Mars? By Sean Keach, Digital Technology and Science Editor | The Sun Facebook Twitter Print Email Elon Musk: What's next? Now that Elon Musk has successfully launched the Falcon Heavy, what's next for the billionaire entrepreneur? Ever wondered how long it would take to get to Mars? With Elon Musk's successful launch of the world's most powerful rocket – Space X's Falcon Heavy – on February 6, humans journeying to Mars looks increasingly likely. The problem is that there's an immense distance between Earth and Mars, which means any trip to the red planet will take a very long time. It's also made more complicated by the fact that the distance is constantly changing as the two planets rotate around the sun. The closest that the Earth and Mars would ever be is a distance of 33.9million miles – that's 9,800 times the distance between London and New York. That's really rare though: the more useful distance is the average, which is 140million miles. We've already launched a whole bunch of spacecraft to (or near) Mars, so we have a rough idea of how long it takes with current technology."

And for the past two years, a great deal of this attention has been focused specifically on the development of the Falcon Heavy rocket and the Dragon 2 capsule – the components with which Musk hopes to mount a lander mission to Mars in 2018. Among other things, there is much speculation about how much this is going to cost. Given that one of Space X’s guiding principles is making space exploration cost-effective, just how much money is Musk hoping to spend on this important step towards a crewed mission? As it turns out, NASA produced some estimates at a recent meeting, which indicated that Space X is spending over $300 million on its proposed Mars mission. These estimates were given during a NASA Advisory Council meeting, which took place in Cleveland on July 26th between members of the technology committee. During the course of the meeting, James L.

"text": "\"Space X reusable launch system development program explained Space X reusable launch system development program Commercial: Yes Type: Privately funded technology development Products: Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Interplanetary Transport System Location: Various Owner: Space XFounder: Elon Musk Established: Publicly announced 2011Current Status: Active The Space X reusable launch system development program is a privately funded program to develop a set of new technologies for an orbital launch system that may be reused many times in a manner similar to the reusability of aircraft. The company Space X is developing the technologies over a number of years to facilitate full and rapid reusability of space launch vehicle s. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the launch site in minutes and to return a second stage to the launch pad following orbital realignment with the launch site and atmospheric reentry in up to 24 hours. Space X's long term goal is that both stages of their orbital launch vehicle will be designed to allow reuse a few hours after return. [ 1]The program was publicly announced in 2011. Space X first achieved a successful landing and recovery of a first stage in December 2015. The first re-flight of a landed first stage occurred in March 2017 with the second occurring in June 2017, that one only five months after the maiden flight of the booster. The third attempt occurred in October 2017 with the SES-11/Echo Star-105 mission. The reusable launch system technology was developed and initially used for the first stages of the Falcon family of rockets. After stage separation, the return process involves flipping the booster around, an optional boostback burn to reverse its course, a reentry burn, controlling direction to arrive at the landing site and a landing burn to affect the final low-altitude deceleration and touchdown. Space X is intending to develop technology to extend reusable flight hardware to second stages, a more challenging engineering problem because the vehicle is travelling at orbital velocity,which is considered paramount to the plans Elon Musk is championing to enable the settlement of Mars."

While some are interesting stepping stones on the path to better ships, many represent a sort of end-game to EVE Online Pv P. They are the kind of high-performance ship that players will happily specialize their characters in flying. Though the skills needed to effectively fly these can take months to train, and maxing out can take years, players persevere for the extra edge that flying these ships can provide. This guide is a survey of the best specimens from amongst the most popular tech two ship types. Where tech one ships are generalized and often have glaring weaknesses, tech two ships like the Vagabond or Zealot represent the pinnacle of their specialized roles, and far exceed the capabilities of their tech one counterparts. There are also many specialized tech two ships that have no real tech one counterparts in their role. For example, stealth bombers have capabilities that are completely unlike any other ship type in EVE Online. Amongst the many glittery tech two hulls, some are more effective, and others are almost never flown. Eagle, I'm looking at you."

Since falcons are birds of prey, they are well-known for their incredible hunting skills as well as for being a ruthless and dominant within their environment. They hunt all kinds of small animals such as mice, fish and frogs — they will even catch smaller birds while flying in the air.

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

On one hand, sales of after-market LPG conversions have plummeted.

On the other hand, sales of new vehicles with factory fitted LPG experienced a very healthy increase in 2012, that has continued into 2013.

"text": "Just How Much Does a Private Jet Cost to Hire or Buy? You may be wondering how much does a private jet cost as you’re looking to buy or hire one of these fantastic pieces of modern technology. Costs vary enormously based on the type of private jet that you desire, size and complexity. If you are in the market for chartering or purchasing a jet for yourself or your company then read on and we will address your question: Costs of Hiring a Private Jet Many companies these days are re-considering the necessity of purchasing a private jet outright. Not only is the initial purchase price a very high fixed cost, but the ongoing costs are sometimes a bigger consideration. Even without actually flying anywhere, jets cost a huge amount just to keep them serviceable and in keeping with all of the certificates of airworthiness requirements. Ongoing costs to consider include regular (and any unforseen) maintenance, hangarage, pilot and crew salaries, insurance and more. Private jet hire eliminates much of this additional cost and complication, as companies hiring a jet can just pay on a ‘per flight’ basis, rather than paying for the aircraft to sit on the ground when not in use. Private jet hire companies typically operate on a bespoke quotation principle, where you contact them to discuss your requirements in terms of type of jet, passenger numbers, distance of journey etc. and they will supply you with their best quote."

A useful term to label such a recurring item is a Hammettism . Some Hammettisms are unique to Hammett. Others are techniques, themes, or motifs that are common to many good novels, but which are especially prominent in Hammett's fiction. This list provides forty-four Hammettisms that occur in several of Hammett's works and can be found in The Maltese Falcon, plus one Hammettism that appears in Hammett's other novels but is uniquely absent from the story of Sam Spade and the black bird.

The Falcon Heavy, which will provide the United States a heavy-lift capability in space not seen since the Saturn V rockets of the Apollo era, made a flawless ascent through clear blue skies, with at least two of its three reusable boosters returning safely to earth.

( AP Photo/John Raoux)When Space X put a communications satellite into orbit yesterday, it wasn’t a just triumph of technology. It was a victory for cost control. The enormous expense of rocket launches—especially to the heights needed to keep a large satellite orbiting in a fixed spot over Earth—is a problem for both the nascent space industry and space science in general. That price tag has limited operations of both NASA and the NSA. Until now, most commercial operations contracted with Russia’s space agency in Kazakhstan or Europe’s space agency, which launches from South America. Depending on a number of factors, mostly the size and weight of payload, the cost of a single launch ranges from $100 million to $260 million.

The Dolphins' first team has outscored its opponents 21-0 in the first two games, and in that time we have seen a goal-line stand, an interception nearly brought back for a touchdown and dominance up front. It will be interesting to see how the unit does with extended action against the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) come Saturday night. The Falcons have an offense that can test Miami's first-team unit on defense, while Atlanta's defense, headed by new head coach Dan Quinn, is still very much a work-in-progress. Atlanta's defensive line looks like one of the most improved of the offseason, thanks to the signing of Adrian Clayborn as well as the selection of Clemson standout Vic Beasley in the first round of the 2015 draft. They will be matched up with a Dolphins offensive line that still has many holes and a lot to prove. While the starters for both teams will likely play the entire first half and part of the third quarter, the battle between each team's reserves will loom just as important. It has been in this battle that the Dolphins have been trounced, having been outscored 58-19 in their two preseason games.

In early dynasties, the king’s ascension was known as the “Flight of the Falcon”. The Eye of Horus, the Egyptian symbol for the Sun, depicts a stylized falcon's eye and face markings. It signified royal power and protection from danger, evil, and ill health. A human-headed falcon served as a symbol of the human soul on its flight from this world to the afterlife."

I have been in many situations where other drivers have pulled out directly in front of me, nearly side swiping me when they have changed lanes without looking etc, and this car has gotten me out of those dangerous situations without a single scratch. It is good to hear that Ford's Australian engineering team is still going even though the factory is now closed down, here is hoping that they bring out a new falcon sedan soon.

The Galactic Roundel was one of many seals of the Galactic Republic . Contents [ show]History Edit The Galactic Roundel dates back thousands of generations to the Bendu monks. In their study of numerology, they believed that the number nine signified the beneficent presence of the Force in a united galaxy. The Insignia Galactic Roundel was meant to represent the number nine with its eight spokes joined to one disc. [ 1] Eventually-since the Jedi were founded from the Bendu and the Jedi Order had always been close to the Republic-the Insignia of Unity was adopted to become the symbol of the Galactic Republic. During the Old Sith Wars the Republic was using a nine-spoke symbol and putting it on their ships. Later on the Galactic Roundel itself once again had become the symbol of the Republic and unity. One was placed on the podium of the Galactic Senate Rotunda and up until Palpatine 's proclamation one adorned the Hall of Justice on Alderaan. [ 2]In 25 BBY the Rotunda had undergone a desperate renovation at which point the emblem that sat on the podium was replaced by a counterfeit."

In a previous “Did You Know?” we mentioned the use of the pelican in Christian art. In general, birds have long symbolized the soul’s ascent to God above material things. Some birds are used as examples of specific virtues or attributes of the Christian soul (or their opposite: the vices), while others represent Our Lord (i.e., the pelican), Our Lady, and the saints. There is a legend that the robin received his red breast as a reward for protecting the Christ Child from the sparks of a fire, which he caught on his breast, while the Holy Family rested on their flight into Egypt. The peacock is used to symbolize immortality – this from an ancient legendary belief that the flesh of the peacock did not decay."

The amount of thought and work that goes behind the seemingly simplest of logos would boggle the mind of any advertising outsider. Below we will review 20 clever logos that have hidden symbolism you may have not noticed before. Some are obvious, others are subtle, but all of them are interesting to examine. Enjoy!The Fed Ex Logo The white space between the ‘E’ and the ‘X’ forms a perfect arrow, suggesting a company moving forward and looking ahead. It’s subtle, but now it’s all I see whenever the logo appears. The Goodwill Logo The iconic smiling face is in fact the ‘G’ in Goodwill zoomed in an cropped slightly. Clever :)The Milwaukee Brewers Logo The classic Milwaukee Brewers logo not only looks like a baseball glove, but the letters ‘M’ and ‘B’ actually form the glove! It’s too bad they’ve changed their logo recently, many prefer this vintage design. The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Logo On either side of the tree, the faces of a gorilla and lion appear in white."

Falconry doesn’t have to be reserved for medieval dukes and Saturday Night Live skits. Though it has dropped out of favor in our increasingly technological society, there are still many men who enjoy practicing falconry today. Some of my best memories from childhood are of me and my dad prowling dirt roads with our eyes scanning tree tops and telephone poles, looking for the figure of a hungry hawk. Falconry is a great way to reconnect with nature, make friendships with other men, and enjoy yourself. What is Falconry? Falconry involves capturing, training, and housing birds of prey for use in hunting. Yeah, you’re using a bird to hunt with. How awesome is that? Falcons and hawks are both commonly used."

"text": "\"World View Symbolism Q: What Does a Willow Tree Symbolize? A: Quick Answer The willow tree figures in mythology and literature as a symbol of the moon, water, grief, healing and everlasting life. These themes refer to the willow's propensity to grow near a source of water, which can be an underground spring or stream. Its reputation as a healer was enhanced by the fact that salicylic acid, an ingredient in aspirin, comes from the bark of the willow tree. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does the Ocean Symbolize? What Does the Sun Symbolize? What Does Water Symbolize in Literature? Full Answer The willow tree's association with the moon comes from the lunar influence on water, including tides. Fast-growing and long-lived, the weeping willow is ubiquitous in cemeteries, where its drooping shape is reminiscent of a grieving human. The willow's regenerative properties, associated with everlasting life, mean that it can be reproduced by planting a twig in moist soil."

It appears on the Presidential standard of Ukraine. Blue coloured tridents are considered to be irregular representation by the Ukrainian Heraldry Society. The small coat of arms was officially adopted on 19 February 1992, while constitutional provisions exist for establishing the great coat of arms, which is not yet officially adopted. The small coat of arms was designed by Andriy Grechylo, Olexiy Kokhan and Ivan Turetskyi. It is a representation of the seal-trident of Volodymyr the Great. The Great coat of arms which has not been adopted consists of the small coat of arms and the coat of arms of Zaporizhian Host ( Constitution of Ukraine, Article 20). The trident was not thought of as a national symbol until 1917, when one of the most prominent Ukrainian historians, Mykhailo Hrushevsky, proposed to adopt it as a national symbol (alongside other variants, including an arbalet, a bow or a cossack carrying a musket, i.e. images that carried considerable historical and cultural and heraldic significance for Ukraine)."

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

"text": "\"Ty Doyle, a lawyer with an opinion on everything Answered Jul 11, 2017 · Author has 1.9k answers and 5.9m answer views In football especially—a sport where age and injury take a heavier toll on players than other American professional sports—it is common for there to be disagreement between superstars and team management late in a player’s career. The superstar tends to think that he’s still got quality years left and wants to continue playing on a big-money contract, while management may doubt the player’s continuing value. Sometimes, a player may want the chance to win a Super Bowl, but may doubt management’s commitment to winning now; indeed, management may be entering a rebuilding cycle, which is the last place someone in the twilight of his career usually wants to be. The NFL is a brutal sport in more ways than one: given the salary cap, you simply cannot be competitive by having players signed to bad contracts, and so even players who have performed at the highest levels are often faced with the prospect of being released, traded, or made to take significant pay cuts if they want to stay on a particular team. Typically, players aren’t happy about the latter option, and will seek to test the market elsewhere. As a result, no matter what is said in the press—typically, everyone’s professional and comments that it’s “just business”—there’s usually some hurt feelings on the way out the door as a star player is released or traded or it’s announced that he won’t be resigned in free agency. The one-day contract is often a “make up” between player and management, a way of saying “we know you finished your career with a (usually mediocre) season or two elsewhere, but you’ll always be a member of our team, and we’re thankful for everything you did.” There’s usually a press conference where the player, other players, the coach, and/or the GM get together and share jokes and memories, and the player—usually someone who is Hall of Fame caliber or who made significant contributions to the team—gets the send-off that he didn’t get a few years earlier. It’s a nice ceremony in a game that is often cruel, even though it has no bearing on Hall of Fame considerations or any legal significance.17.3k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What does an NFL player do on Game Day -- before and after the game?

But I am certainly not a special \"\"chosen few\"\" by the hawk. I know this because I get a staggering number of emails from folks around the world telling me they've been graced by the hawk either physically or energetically. These emails go on to report the hawk consistently exhibits a bold presence, leaving a lasting impression upon those they've visited. It makes sense. The hawk is a prevalent raptor, with widespread populations and a diverse array of preferred habitats. With an average 3+ foot wingspan, measuring in at two feet tall, piercing eyes and lethal looking claws, the hawk is an impressive figure. To be visited by it is bound to stir awareness, get one's attention and make one start asking questions about symbolic hawk meaning. I can't attribute the hawk's healthy populations and frequent appearances as the exclusive reason for so many stories emailed to me about profound encounters with the hawk."

"text": "1. Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Achebe uses this opening stanza of William Butler Yeats’s poem “The Second Coming,” from which the title of the novel is taken, as an epigraph to the novel. In invoking these lines, Achebe hints at the chaos that arises when a system collapses. That “the center cannot hold” is an ironic reference to both the imminent collapse of the African tribal system, threatened by the rise of imperialist bureaucracies, and the imminent disintegration of the British Empire. Achebe, writing in 1959, had the benefit of retrospection in depicting Nigerian society and British colonialism in the 1890s. Yet Achebe’s allusion is not simply political, nor is it ironic on only one level. Yeats’s poem is about the Second Coming, a return and revelation of sorts. In Things Fall Apart, this revelation refers to the advent of the Christian missionaries (and the alleged revelation of their teachings), further satirizing their supposed benevolence in converting the Igbo. For an agricultural society accustomed to a series of cycles, including that of the locusts, the notion of return would be quite credible and familiar."

I know I do. These big, powerful birds inspire us with their raw power, grace and majesty. So respected are these birds that they are often chosen as sports team mascots. Many countries use birds of prey as their national symbol. The DFW Metroplex is home to a number of these mighty birds. Depending on the season, there can be as many as 20 different species of falconiformes living in the North Texas area. Some are seasonal migrants. Other are what is known as occasional vagrants—birds that sometimes roam outside their normal range. When you’re as big and powerful as a raptor soaring high in the sky, moving outside your home range is not difficult to do."

He or she might provide one-on-one counseling with family members or facilitate group therapy sessions. The counselor uses his or her knowledge of family structures, developmental psychology, and mental health problems to help families deal with their problems in a healthy way.

"text": "\"Marriage Counseling Questions How Long Should Marriage Counseling Take? How Long Does Marriage Counseling Take? By Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, LMFT, BCCMany people wonder how long marriage counseling takes to work. Ideally, good marriage counseling should be strategic and always focused on helping a couple achieve their goals for the relationship. Without having a plan, and specific goals in mind, marriage counseling sessions can turn into opportunities to hash through recent problems as opposed to focusing on solutions. And couples can do that for a long, long time without making real changes. Unfortunately, some couples in marriage counseling with therapists who do not have specific training or experience in evidence based marriage counseling models can literally spend years in therapy… sometimes making little progress. The solution to this problem is to find a good marriage counselor who uses evidence-based models of marriage counseling. This allows the therapist to guide couples through a process that will lead to real growth and change. While the content of the conversations will be different for every couple, using an evidence-based model allows the marriage counselor to make sure that the couple is hitting the milestones they need to repair their relationship."

In about 90% of cases, the person is the only member of the family with the disease. These cases are called “sporadic ALS”. The cause of sporadic ALS is not well understood, but may be due to a combination of environmental and genetic risk factors. About 10% of cases are considered “familial ALS” (FALS). In these cases, more than one person in the family has ALS and sometimes family members have frontotemporal dementia as well. People with FALS often start showing symptoms at earlier ages than in sporadic ALS. FALS is most often autosomal dominant. This means a parent who has a genetic change (or mutation) that causes ALS has a 50% chance of passing that mutation to each of his or her children.

Additionally an action such as this demonstrates that we don’t understand the very nature of breastfeeding education and support which is a major contributing factor in why so many women that start out breastfeeding are no longer breastfeeding within a few weeks or months.

Because of the focus on the Bible, Christian counselors are able to minister to their clients while providing help for their problems. Recommended Christian Counseling Degree Programs MA: Marriage & Family Therapy – Liberty University MA: Pastoral Counseling – Liberty University MA: Human Services: Marriage & Family – Liberty University What is Christian Counseling? Christian counseling is similar to the general field of counseling, in that it handles the same issues as secular counseling, like addiction, grief, abuse, and marriage problems. The goal of Christian counseling is still to help people work through these problems and ultimately live a healthy and happy life. Where Christian counseling differs from secular counseling is in the perspective of the counselor. A Christian counselor believes that the Bible is truth, and offers much wisdom that is applicable to daily life, in issues like marriage, suffering and human nature. Any advice that a Christian counselor may offer is based on biblical concepts. For those who have a strong view of faith, seeing a Christian counselor over a secular counselor can be advantageous. Non-Christian counselors may sometimes offer advice that does not line up with principals in the Bible, and this could be a hindrance for some Christians."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A fatty streak is the first grossly visible (visible to the naked eye) lesion in the development of atherosclerosis. It appears as an irregular yellow-white discoloration on the luminal surface of an artery. It consists of aggregates of foam cells, which are lipoprotein -loaded macrophages, [1] located in the intima, the innermost layer of the artery, beneath the endothelial cells that layer the lumina through which blood flows. Fatty streaks may also include T cells, aggregated platelets, and smooth muscle cells. It is the precursor lesion of atheromas that may become atheromatous plaques. Almost all children older than 10 in developed countries have fatty streaks, with coronary fatty streaks beginning in adolescence. [ 2]References [ edit]^ Guyton, Arthur C.; Hall, John E. (2006).

Nevertheless quartz is a technically important material that is valued for the combination of certain electrical or optical properties with a great physical strength and chemical resistance. In this chapter I will not simply count off physical properties of quartz and be done with it. Instead, I will try to explain what is behind the properties. I will start with a discussion of what is the base of its physical behavior (albeit it is not a physical measure as such): its crystalline structure. Anisotropy and Crystal Structure Minerals have a number of unique physical properties that are very different from that of other solid substances, like plastic, wood, concrete, bone, or glass. For example, some may change color depending on the angle of view, others may get electrically charged when put under stress, may only part easily in one direction, or may be scratched more easily on one crystal face than another. The cause of this odd behavior is the crystalline nature of minerals. In a crystal the atoms are arranged in a regular and periodic manner that is specific for each mineral. The geometry of this arrangement of atoms is not only reflected in the symmetry properties of a crystal, but also in the isotropy or anisotropy of its physical properties."

"text": "Blocked Arteries (Heart, Leg & Neck)Atherosclerosis – plaque buildup in the arteries – is a dangerous health condition that can cause arterial blockages, leading to angina, heart attack, stroke, and death. Over time, plaque buildup in the arteries can lead to coronary artery disease – the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death in the United States. Plaque buildup in the legs can cause peripheral vascular disease, and plaque buildup in the neck can cause carotid artery disease. What causes blocked arteries? Arterial blockages are caused by plaque. Plaque is composed of several substances, mainly fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrin (a protein that develops in blood clotting), and cellular waste. Once plaque gains a foothold in the arteries, cells lining the arterial wall may become inflamed, thereby worsening the blockage. The buildup of arterial plaque can take place over many years, gradually reducing heart function. Eventually, plaque can rupture and break free of the arterial wall. When the plaque ruptures, blood responds to certain substances in the plaque by forming a blood clot (thrombus)."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Actually, the process begins in childhood and is referred to as fatty streaks. Fatty streaks are the beginning process of the blockages in the arteries (atherosclerosis) and with time these worsen. Fatty streaks are not clinically significant and do not lead to heart attacks. Therefore it is important to modify your behavior while you are young, because your behavior in childhood does determine your risk of heart attacks in the future. Significant blockages leading to heart attacks develop on average in men > 45 years old and women > 55 years old. There are cases of heart attacks occurring in teenagers secondary to blockages, but these individuals usually have a secondary disorder such as familial hypercholesterolemia.

Oxygen and nutrients serve as a fuel supply to the pump and are carried to heart in the form of blood that flows through the coronary arteries. Thus, the coronary arteries serve as fuel pipe lines to the heart muscle. The three major coronary arteries (Left Anterior Descending ( LAD ), Circumflex ( Circ) and Right Coronary Artery ( RCA )) and their respective branches each supply a designated portion of the heart, as follows: The LAD supplies blood to the front (anterior) portion of the heart and the septum (muscle partition that separates the Left Ventricle ( LV) and Right Ventricle ( RV )). The Circ supplies the back (posterior) portion of the LV. The RCA supplies the bottom (inferior) portion of the ventricle and also the RV in 90% of cases. In the other 10%, the Circ sends a branch to the inferior wall of the LV. Coronary arteries have muscle fibers within their walls. By contracting the muscle, the artery can reduce blood flow; relaxing the muscle increases flow. In this way, the coronary arteries can regulate blood flow to different portions of the heart."

"text": "What Causes Heart Disease? March 1, 2001 By Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, Ph D 9 Comments Read this in: Nederlands Français For almost forty years, the lipid hypothesis or diet-heart idea has dominated medical thinking about heart disease. In broad outlines, this theory proposes that when we eat foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, cholesterol is then deposited in our arteries in the form of plaque or atheromas that cause blockages. If the blockages become severe, or if a clot forms that cannot get past the plaque, the heart is starved of blood and a heart attack occurs. Many distinguished scientists have pointed to serious flaws in this theory, beginning with the fact that heart disease in America has increased during the period when consumption of saturated fat has decreased. “ The diet-heart idea,” said the distinguished George Mann, “is the greatest scam in the history of medicine. ”And the chorus of dissidents continues to grow, even as this increasingly untenable theory has been applied to the whole population, starting with lowfat diets for growing children and mass medication with cholesterol-lowering drugs for adults. But if it ain’t cholesterol, what causes heart disease? We don’t know enough to say for sure but we do have many clues; and although these clues present a complicated picture, it is not beyond the abilities of dedicated scientists to unravel them. Nor is the picture so complex that the consumer cannot make reasonable life-style adjustments to improve his chances."

Flag What is the medical term meaning hardening of the arteries? Answer by Digitalis Confidence votes 7.7KHardening of the arteries due to cholesterol plaques is called atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. The term Atherosclerosis literally means \"\"hardening from atheroma\"\". In a healthy person, the artiers have walls that are muscular, smooth and elastic enough to allow for variations in blood pressure, which allows the blood to pass through freely. In people who don't watch their diet (especially their fat intake), fatty streaks appear on the inner walls of arteries. As the fatty streaks grow, it causes further damage to the arteries, and the fatty streaks harden. This results in erosion of the arterial walls, diminishes the elasticity of the artery, and narrows the passageway which interferes with the flow of blood. The fatty tissue is known as atheroma. This process is a major factor in heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, among other health problems, but it can be controlled, and even prevented by maintaining a healthy, low fat diet, and exercising on a regular basis."

Haemoglobin makes up part of the red blood cells. The body uses white cells to fight infections. Platelets play a role in blood clotting, stopping bleeding. How is the full blood count carried out? A small sample of blood is taken from a vein in the arm by a nurse, doctor or phlebotomist (someone specially trained to collect blood from patients for laboratory tests).

Blood cells are divided into three main types: Red cells (erythrocytes). These make blood a red colour. One drop of blood contains about five million red cells. A constant new supply of red blood cells is needed to replace old cells that break down. Millions of red blood cells are made each day. Red cells contain a chemical called haemoglobin.

It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results. What is the test? Immunoglobulins are protein molecules. They contain antibody activity and are produced by the terminal cells of B-cell differentiation known as ‘plasma cells’. There are five classes of immunoglobulin (Ig): Ig G, Ig M, Ig A, Ig D and Ig E. In normal serum, about 80% is Ig G, 15% is Ig A, 5% is Ig M, 0.2% is Ig D and a trace is Ig E. 1Quantitative serum immunoglobulin tests are used to detect abnormal levels of the three major classes (Ig G, Ig A and Ig M). Testing is used to help diagnose various conditions and diseases that affect the levels of one or more of these immunoglobulin classes. Some conditions cause excess levels, some cause deficiencies, and others cause a combination of increased and decreased levels. Ig D and Ig E will not be discussed in this article. When should the test be ordered?"

The normal range for neutrophils is 2.5-7.5 x 10 9 /L. Moderate neutropenia is defined as a neutrophil count of 0.5-1.0 x 10 9 /L. Severe neutropenia is a count of <0.5 x 10 9 /L. As the neutrophil count falls, especially once neutrophils are <1 x 10 9 /L, a patient becomes immunocompromised and at risk of serious infections which may be fatal. When faced with a patient with neutropenia it is important to answer the following questions: What is the underlying cause of neutropenia? What is the cause of neutropenic sepsis if present? Neutropenic patients can therefore be divided into three clinical groups: Otherwise well patients with neutropenia. These patients may be known to be neutropenic previously or presenting de novo and require investigation to look for an underlying diagnosis. ( Previously) immuno competent patients, now presenting with neutropenia and compromised, requiring urgent treatment. ( Known) immuno compromised patients presenting with neutropenia and compromised, requiring urgent treatment. Incidental neutropenia Neutropenia is a common finding on routine FBC.

Cholesterol and glucose are separate tests.? · 8 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating1Source (s): I Cured My Diabetes - http://Diabetes Cure.raiwi.com/? Su SPLaree · 2 years ago0 0 Comment The A1C gives you the amount of glucose that the blood cells in the sample has been exposed to, the lifespan of a blood cell is 100 to 120 days and are produced all the time so the average age of blood cells in a sample is 30 to 40 days. Therefore the A1C gives you an idea of the average glucose that your blood cells have been exposed to over 30 to 40 days, it would only be 90 to 120 days if you actually stopped making blood cells which would be another problem. Indeed if the average age of the cells are older perhaps due to a cell production problem, the readings will be higher, if they are younger perhaps due to a high mortality rate of the test will be lower. This is because the test shows the total amount of glucose the cells have been exposed to."

Urea Electrolytes and Creatinine (UEC): This test is a measure of kidney function. We see an elevated serum urea or creatinine with dehydration or if the kidney function is impaired.

If you've already been diagnosed with a heart condition, blood tests can help monitor your condition and the effects of your medicines if you are taking any. What is a blood test? A blood test is when a sample of your blood is taken for testing in a laboratory. Your doctor or nurse may take your blood sample, or sometimes a phlebotomist (someone who is specifically trained to take blood samples) will carry out the test. You may have your blood test at hospital or at your local GP clinic. How is the blood taken? For most blood tests, your blood will be taken through a needle which is inserted through your skin into a vein. The arm is usually used as it’s easily accessible, and the common places to take blood are from inside your elbow or the top of your wrist, as your veins are closer to the surface there. A tight band (tourniquet) is usually put around your upper arm."

Department of Justice, reporting their investigative findings to U. S. attorneys across the nation. Work responsibilities for these detectives, referred to as special agents, include overseeing court-sanctioned wiretaps, conducting surveillance and investigating white-collar crimes. The General Schedule (GS) pay system categorizes base salaries for FBI special agents. Additionally, FBI special agents receive locality and availability pay. Locality and Availability Pay The 1990 Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act instituted a locality pay system for GS employees that stipulates additional payments, based on regions throughout the United States, that range from 12.5 to 28.7 percent of the GS base salary. Because of the requirement for special agents to work an average 50-hour week, they also earn availability pay, which is an additional 25 percent of the combined base salary and locality pay. FBI Trainees All FBI special agents start their careers at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, with 20 weeks of field and classroom training. During this time, trainees live on-site at the academy and study academic topics as well as complete training in defensive tactics, physical fitness and the use of firearms. A trainee earns a base salary of $43,441 plus an additional locality pay of 17.5 percent of this base salary, which equals $51,043. Newly Assigned Agents After graduating from the FBI Academy, newly assigned special agents earn a beginning salary of $43,441 plus an additional locality pay that ranges from 12.5 to 28.7 percent of this base salary."

She talks to Cosmopolitan.com about the rigorous requirements for working at the nation's top law enforcement agency. The FBI is often romanticized or dramatized in entertainment. What is the culture really like for those who work there? If they made a movie about what day-to-day life is really like here, no one would watch it. There are moments when it is intense, and incredibly rewarding — I have seen true acts of heroism in this job, children being rescued, lives being saved — but every day is the business of research, training, and the functions that keep us going. What qualities do you look for in every candidate? People come to work for the FBI because they are driven by a desire to do more than just apply their skills and experience to work.

"text": "\"How Much Does an FBI Agent Make Per Year?by James Rada, Jr.; Updated September 26, 2017FBI agents are iconic figures in America and many people who aspire to law enforcement want to join this elite law-enforcement group. Being an agent involves more than carrying a gun and being an investigator, though. Agents are highly trained employees of the federal government and although their careers can be glamorous, their salaries are the same as many other civil servants. Duty Office After an FBI agent is appointed to the Bureau, he or she is assigned to one of 56 field offices, depending upon the agent’s specialty and the office’s needs. The agent ranks his or her desired locations to work and this list is compared to the list of offices where the FBI has a need. The agent can expect to be at this first assignment for approximately three years. During his or her two-year probationary period, each new agent will have an experienced mentor agent. Salary Add Ons The federal government pays greater salaries depending on where the field office is located. This is called locality pay and it is designed to account for cost-of-living differences. Locality pay increases range from 12.5 to 28.7 percent."

"text": "Mossad in America By Philip Giraldi • August 23, 2010Tweet Israeli intelligence steps up its activity in the U. S. — and gets away with it. By Philip Giraldi Israeli government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for the media and popular consumption. The reality is that Israel’s intelligence agencies target the United States intensively, particularly in pursuit of military and dual-use civilian technology. Among nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department. It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and telecommunications security. Israel is believed to have the ability to monitor nearly all phone records originating in the United States, while numerous Israeli air-travel security companies are known to act as the local Mossad stations. As tensions with Iran increase, sources in the counterintelligence community report that Israeli agents have become more aggressive in targeting Muslims living in the United States as well as in operating against critics. There have been a number of cases reported to the FBI about Mossad officers who have approached leaders in Arab-American communities and have falsely represented themselves as “U. S. intelligence.” Because few Muslims would assist an Israeli, this is done to increase the likelihood that the target will cooperate. It’s referred to as a “false flag” operation."

But, money is a concern, as policemen, FBI agents and criminologists all need to eat and put a roof over their heads. But, each job within the criminal justice field offers various salaries. You might want to learn more about how far you can go in these jobs, including the education levels and experience required to obtain a certain salary level. You may learn that many criminal justice jobs are contained within the government, such as the FBI, CIA, DEA or ATF agent jobs. These jobs all are measured by a government standard of wages based upon skill and number of years in service to the government. Many agents, for instance, begin at the GS-5 or GS-7 levels after obtaining a required bachelor’s degree for the job. Some agents may not achieve the GS-7 position until after one year on the job. The salaries at the GS-5 to GS-7 levels vary, but currently range between $35,000 to $50,000 per year. If you enter a criminal justice job with less than a four-year degree and little to no skills, however, you might earn as little as $27,00 per year to start."

SPONSORED BYSHARE ON: Christian Lowe — September 26, 2014A new study from the FBI’s Training Division shows that overall, the 9mm Luger pistol round is the best option for law enforcement handguns, recommending departments shouldn’t switch their side arms to larger rounds considered by many to be more lethal. Based in a combination of factors, including so-called “stopping power,” weight and availability, the FBI study shows that the 9mm round penetrates far enough, allows for shooters to carry more rounds, and is more widely available and less expensive than alternative rounds like the .45 ACP or .40 Smith & Wesson. “Most of what is ‘common knowledge’ with ammunition and its effects on the human target are rooted in myth and folklore. … Handgun stopping power is simply a myth,” the FBI said in its report. “ There is little to no noticeable difference in the wound tracks between premium line law Auto enforcement projectiles from 9mm Luger through the .45 Auto. ”The study — which was concluded May 6 but has just been leaked online — comes as the U.

Overview of FBI Federal bureau of investigation is a government agency that works on two different fronts; federal criminal investigation and counter intelligence. Working as an important agency under the U. S. Department of Justice, it has the authorization to investigate violations of more than three hundred categories of federal crimes in addition to its jurisdiction over crimes that take place on Indian Reservations in the United States. Apart from these responsibilities the FBI also plays a supportive role for other law enforcement agencies through help with laboratory examinations, finger print identification and training. Another vital aspect of the FBI operations is collecting, disseminating and analyzing intelligence information for its own use and that of its partners so as to eliminate all threats to the U. S. national security. Featured Schools Transcript Working as a FBI agent is a challenging yet highly rewarding career choice. You’ll be assigned an array of responsibilities that will enable the FBI and other agencies to guard US interests from internal and external threats. The hiring process for an FBI agent is rigorous and competitive, so you want to be prepared and have the right level of education under your belt. FBI applicants must possess a four year degree from any college or university accredited by one of the regional or national institutional associations recognized by the United States secretary of education. Any degree program that helps you develop research and analytical skills will position you well to become an FBI special agent."

"text": "APRIL 23--The wife and daughter of a billionaire Silicon Valley titan were the victims of an extortion plot allegedly hatched by the younger woman’s former boyfriend, a Stanford University graduate who threatened to distribute naked photos of his ex unless he received hush money payments, The Smoking Gun has learned. The shakedown scheme targeted family members of Vinod Khosla, the 59-year-old venture capitalist who co-founded Sun Microsystems. Khosla, who heads his own Sand Hill Road investment firm, is worth $1.5 billion, according to a recent Forbes magazine estimate. FBI agents last week arrested Douglas Tarlow, 27, in connection with the alleged extortion plot. Tarlow, who dated Khosla’s daughter Nina for about two years, was subsequently released from custody and is scheduled for a U. S. District Court preliminary hearing tomorrow. Tarlow, pictured at right, allegedly threatened to distribute the naked images online, warning in one e-mail that, “Everything is going to reddit. From there, it will be impossible to remove from the internet forever.” In a text message to Nina Khosla’s mother--who was sent the nude photos--Tarlow stated, “it seems you’re going to be the mother of the next Paris Hilton,” investigators allege. The FBI’s investigation of Tarlow is detailed in a court affidavit sworn by Agent Glenn Solomon-Hill, who is assigned to the bureau’s San Francisco office. While the FBI affidavit does not name Tarlow’s alleged targets, TSG has confirmed that the Khoslas are the victims referred to in the document."

Eyebrow tattoos, considered to be a cosmetic tattoo, is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin and is done to create a long-lasting look that mimics the look of makeup. How much does an eyebrow tattoo cost? The average costs of a permanent or semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo will greatly depend on the artist, the complexity of your eyebrows, the method being used, the colors and where you live. In most cases, a permanent eyebrow tattoo can cost $250 to $775. If you’re looking to simply define your eyebrows, such as filling in some patches, then this often considered a simple procedure and shouldn’t cost more than $200; however, if you were to greatly alter your eyebrow shape and include various shades of colors, then the costs could be closer to the higher end of the price range. The popular hair stroke/ microblading eyebrow tattoo method, for example, can cost $500 to $700, with touch-ups, which are required six weeks after the initial procedure costing close to $150. This method, considered to be one of the most sophisticated methods, consists of thin tattooed fibers that match your original eyebrow hair color.

( If not, we’ll wait for you to catch up: A quick Instagram search for #eyebrowtattoos, #3Dbrows, #archaddicts, or #browsonfleek brings up a never-ending stream of close-up #browspo pics.) The world of brow tattoos is a baffling place. It’s easy to get lost in the jargon: eyebrow embroidery, micropigmentation, tattooing, and microblading; methods include hair strokes, feathering, etching, powder-fill, 3D, 4D, even 6D eyebrows. Hundreds of pics later, you still may not be sure what exactly you’re signing up for. Here’s what you need to know before you go under the needle. ( Or microblade? Don’t worry, we’ll get to all that in a second. ) Call them what you want, but they’re all tattoos.

Stephen Jones • March 27, 2010 • 60 Comments All About Fennel & How to Cook With It On the whole, the foods that restaurants deliver to the consumer use basically the same ingredients that a home cook would use. There is, however, a short list of ingredients that are commonly used in commercial kitchens that are underused by home cooks. If you ask Anthony Bourdain, one of those ingredients is shallots. And if you ask me, another of those ingredients is fennel. Fennel is one of the most underutilized vegetables I can think of, and it also happens to be one of my favorites. You’ll find it in many of my recipes including: Braised Chilean Sea Bass Chicken Thighs with Sausage & Braised Fennel Braised Pork Chops with Fennel Shrimp with Fennel, Tomato & Pernod Sauce What is Fennel? Fennel is a plant whose leaves look very much like dill thin, waving frondy filaments of bright green. Not only are the leaves edible, but so are the seeds, bulbs and even the pollen. If you have never tried fennel, let me see if I can describe the flavor to you. Fennel bulb, which looks kind of like a cross between an onion and the base of a bunch of celery, has a sweet, perfumy, anise-like flavor."

It originated in the Mediterranean region and has many culinary and medicinal uses. It has not been spread and naturalized as an herb around the world, but still primarily grows in coastal climates and on riverbanks. It is also one of the main components of the alcohol absinthe, although the plant does not have hallucinogenic properties. Apart from the uses of fennel already mentioned, there are numerous medicinal uses and health benefits, mainly due to the components of its essential oils, which are summarized below. Health Benefits of Fennel Health benefits of fennel include: Prevents Anemia Iron and histidine [ 1], an amino acid found in fennel, are both helpful in the treatment of anemia.

It is an aromatic perennial that grows to about five feet in height, having dark green, feathery leaves, umbels of yellow flowers, and small, ridged, oval-shaped seeds, which are gathered in the autumn. The tall stalk looks like celery and is often consumed as vegetables, while the leaves and seeds are used to flavour foods. Although the taste and aroma of fennel are sometimes mistaken for anise or licorice, the plant is actually related to caraway. Fennel is one of the oldest cultivated plants and much valued by the Romans. Warriors took it to keep good health, while their ladies took it to stave off obesity. The Romans also believed that serpents sucked the juice of the plant to improve their eyesight prompting Pliny to recommend the herb for”dimness of human vision” It was one of the nine sacred herbs of the Anglo-Saxons. In 812 CE, Charlemagne declared it was essential in every garden because of its healing properties. Its Greek name is marathon, meaning “to grow thin.” It was given to the plant because of its reputation for weight loss."

Fennel is a purported galactogogue and is included in some proprietary mixtures promoted to increase milk supply. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Two small studies found an increase in some parameters such as milk volume, fat content and infant weight gain with fennel galactogogue therapy. Galactogogues should never replace evaluation and counseling on modifiable factors that affect milk production. [ 12] Immersing the breast in a warm infusion of fennel seeds and marshmallow root has been suggested as a treatment for breast inflammation, [13] but no scientific data are available that support this use. Anethole is excreted in breastmilk. [ 14] Fennel is generally well tolerated in adults, and fennel oil is \"\"generally recognized as safe\"\" (GRAS) for use in food by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. It has been safely and effectively used alone and with other herbs in infants for the treatment of colic, [15] [16] [17] so the smaller amounts in breastmilk are likely not to be harmful with usual maternal doses. Some sources recommend limiting the duration of treatment to 2 weeks. Excessive maternal use of an herbal tea containing fennel, anise and other herbs appeared to cause toxicity in 2 breastfed newborns that was consistent with toxicity caused by anethole, which is found in fennel and anise."

The botanical name of anise is Pimpinella anisum while the botanical name of fennel is Foeniculum vulgare. Both anise and fennel belong to the Apiaceae family. In addition to the fact that they share a similar flavor, what often creates confusion among these two plants/foods is that fennel is often referred to as anise. Since the whole plant (bulb, stalks, fronds) of fennel is consumed while it is usually just the seeds from the anise plant that are eaten, if you see a vegetable-like plant called \"\"anise,\"\" chances are that it is actually fennel. There is one further complication to the anise and fennel story. Historically, several different plants have been referred to as \"\"anise.\"\" One version of anise you may also be familiar with is star anise (also called Chinese anise). This form of anise gets its name from the eight-pointed star that forms a pod for its seeds.

"text": "Difference between: fennel and anise November 5, 2014 Difference Between, Fooding difference between, foodd Both the plants and the seeds look awfully alike. Let’s find out the difference between fennel and anise. Definitions: Fennel: a plant, Foeniculum vulgare, of the parsley family, having feathery leaves and umbels of small, yellow flowers; also, fennel seed, the aromatic fruits of this plant, used in cookery and medicine. Anise: a Mediterranean plant, Pimpenella anisum, of the parsley family, having loose umbrels of small yellowish-white flowers that yield aniseed. And,Aniseed: the aromatic seed of anise, the oil of which (anise oil, aniseed oil, oil of anise) is used in the manufacture of anehtole, in medicine as a carminative and expectorant, and in cookery and liqueurs for its licoricelike flavor. As we can see right away, both fennel and anise belong to the parsley family, also known as the Apiaceae family. Both plants are related to licorice, tarragon, carrots, celery, caraway, and others. The main difference between the two, is that fennel is more so considered to be a vegetable, while anise is a spice – this is because more of the fennel plant is edible than the anise plant. The anise plant’s seeds are typically the only part of the plant that is consumed. With fennel, the seeds, leaves, stems, and bulbs can all be enjoyed."

This week we’ve got fronds on the brain. We’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from (1) bulb to (2) stalk to (3) fronds -- and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel yet. What to Look For First things first: select small to medium-sized white bulbs that are heavy and firm with bright green feathery fronds. Avoid bulbs that are really large, have moist spots, or appear shriveled and dried out. Bulbs and stalks should be free of cracks, splits, and any discoloration or bruising. The fennel you buy at the market is also known as bulb fennel, Florence fennel, or finocchio, though due to its similar flavor, it sometimes gets confused with anise. Fact: anise is an entirely different plant, but the two do come together to flavor absinthe. ( Think about that the next time you sip one of these . )"

High populations and disappearing woodland habitat are forcing deer to seek food in our backyards and gardens. One of the easiest ways to minimize deer damage in your yard is to landscape with plants deer prefer not to eat. While no plant is deer proof, there are many good landscape plants for this area that deer find less palatable – a solution that is both effective and relatively low-cost, once you know which plants to choose. Deer Resistant Trees and Shrubs Like goats, deer are browsers who feed on a variety of plants, including trees and shrubs. Large trees tend to be spared simply because they are too tall for deer to reach all but the lowest branches, leaving small trees and shrubs to bear the brunt of the damage, especially in winter. There are several trees and shrubs that have withstood the test of time and proven to be deer resistant. This does not mean deer will not eat them if it comes down to a choice between eating something they don’t like and starving to death. But most of the time these are varieties deer will pass over in favor of other plants."

Good news – the deer don’t seem to like it. New growth in the spring is a pretty pale pink. Giant leather fern, Acrostichum danaeifolium, is a Florida native fern. This can grow in cold hardiness zones 8b – 12b – definitely not a northern U. S. fern. Individual fronds can grow up to 12 feet tall and the plant can spread to 5 feet wide. This fern prefers to grow in moist soil and is often found along fresh water swamps. To keep the plant looking its best in cultivated areas, consider removing old fronds and annual fertilization is not required."

Full Answer Mahogany is native to the West Indies and flourishes in tropical climates around the world. It is often used for landscaping in boggy areas due to its preference for moist, acidic soil that is unsuitable for other trees. It is capable of adapting to unfavorable p H levels, but it does not grow well in less tropical areas and is rarely seen outside of USDA hardiness zones 10 to 11."

But they were soon challenged by the more advanced tracheophytes. The ferns and \"\"fern allies\"\" formed the great planetary forests of the late Paleozoic. By the end of the Paleozoic, a new group of plants was challenging the 150 million-year domination of the ferns and fern allies. The seed plants protected the embryonic sporophyte from drying up by encasing it in a tough waterproof seed coat . The evolution of the seed is as profound a step as the evolution of the shelled egg in reptiles. Just as the evolution of the amniotic egg enabled reptiles to become the first truly terrestrial vertebrates, to break that final link with their aquatic heritage, so did the evolution of the seed allow plants to escape the limitation of growing in very moist environments. These gymnosperms soon became the dominant plants. The Mesozoic is sometimes called the Age of Cycads. But their success was short-lived."

Once the insects settle down to feed and pierce the plant's tissue with their needle-like mouth parts, they never move again and become firmly attached to the leaves or stems. Scale insects also cover themselves with waxy material that protects and hides the insect. These two characteristics make scale look like anything but a bug, and many gardeners don't recognize that there is a problem until a plant is heavily infested and damage has occurred. Many people misdiagnose scales that cover themselves with white fuzzy material as a fungus attack. Types of scale There are many types of scale, but here are a few of the most common ones.

How are ferns different from flowering plants or trees? [ edit]Flowering plants (including trees) produce seeds, while ferns produce spores. A chief difference between spores and seeds is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds, and thus require more favorable conditions in order to successfully germinate. Seeds, therefore, are more resistant to harsh conditions and require less energy. Spores are usually produced in large numbers to increase the chances of survival.2. Where is the true stem of a fern?

"text": "There are nearly two dozen of species of Platycerium and more and more end up in cultivation every year. However, most are quite rare and many of those are also relatively fastidious. But a few are fairly easy and rewarding species to grow up from small plants on up to large behemoths. These plants are tropical epiphytes. They grow on the sides of tree trunks, rocks and walls in nature. All ferns start out is microscopic spores. In the humid tropics, where it never gets cold or rarely dry, the spores have the perfect environment to grow in. Though it still amazes me how a huge, 100-pound fern can have started out as single spore, somehow attach to a wall, and then grow on a sheer vertical structure many feet off the ground and not fall down. Since most of us don't live in the tropics, the following are some suggestions to grow a Staghorn Fern in your less-than-tropical garden. Platycerium bifurcatum growing on a palm in cultivation Platyceriums basically consist of 3 parts: the roots (small and sometimes hard to see), sterile or basal fronds (which eventually dry up and form the ‘shield' or rounded base of the Staghorn fern) and the foliar fronds for which these beautiful ferns are named after (look a bit like a deer's antlers)."

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

In the following sketch of the characteristics of vegetable life in the equatorial zone, it is not intended to enter into any scientific details or to treat the subject in the slightest degree from a botanical point of view; but merely to describe those general features of vegetation which are almost or quite peculiar to this region of the globe, and which are so general as to be characteristic of the greater part of it rather than of any particular country or continent within its limits. The Equatorial Forest-Belt and its Causes.-- With but few and unimportant exceptions a great forest band from a thousand to fifteen hundred miles in width girdles the earth at the equator, clothing hill, plain, and mountain with an evergreen mantle. Lofty peaks and precipitous ridges are sometimes bare, but often the woody covering continues to a height of eight or ten [ [p. 28]] thousand feet, as in some of the volcanic mountains of Java and on portions of the Eastern Andes. Beyond the forests both to the north and south, we meet first with woody and then open country, soon changing into arid plains or even deserts which form an almost continuous band in the vicinity of the two tropics. On the line of the tropic of Cancer we have, in America the deserts and dry plains of New Mexico; in Africa the Sahara; and in Asia, the Arabian deserts, those of Beloochistan and Western India, and further east the dry plains of North China and Mongolia. On the tropic of Capricorn we have, in America the Grand Chaco desert and the Pampas; in Africa the Kalahari desert and the dry plains north of the Limpopo; while the deserts and waterless plains of Central Australia complete the arid zone. These great contrasts of verdure and barrenness occurring in parallel bands all round the globe, must evidently depend on the general laws which determine the distribution of moisture over the earth, more or less modified by local causes."

They are older than land animals and far older than the dinosaurs. They were thriving on Earth for two hundred million years before the flowering plants evolved. As we know them now, most ferns are leafy plants that grow in moist areas under forest canopy. They are \"\"vascular plants\"\" with well-developed internal vein structures that promote the flow of water and nutrients. Unlike the other vascular plants, the flowering plants and conifers, where the adult plant grows immediately from the seed, ferns reproduce from spores and an intermediate plant stage called a gametophyte. What makes them different from other vascular plants? There are two answers to this. The first is that ferns are (relatively) delicate plants that only grow in areas where there are suitably moist conditions."

Sometimes Clomid is combined with IUI (intrauterine insemination) treatment. More frequently, it's prescribed to be timed with intercourse at home. This day-by-day guide to treatment will give you a general idea of what your cycle may look like. Important note: As always, follow your doctor's instructions when taking Clomid, and don't be shy about asking questions before, during, or after treatment. Clomid Cycle Day 1: Your Period Begins Caiaimage/Agnieszka Wozniak / Getty Images Your doctor will likely tell you to contact her office on the first day of your period. If you have irregular periods, your doctor may prescribe the medication Provera, a form of progesterone, to induce a period first."

"text": "\"A Fertility Specialist Tells You About This Medication Used In The Treatment Of Infertility If you're facing infertility, you have probably heard about a number of different medications that are commonly used to help couples conceive. Fertility specialist Mark Kan, MD, tells you about Clomid -- one of the first treatments your doctor may try. Mark Kan, MDYour question What is Clomid, and how does it work? The expert answers Clomiphene citrate (also known as Clomid or Serophene) is a medication that is commonly used in fertility treatment. Because it is relatively inexpensive and can be administered orally, clomiphene is generally one of the first medications prescribed for patients who do not ovulate regularly. In women who do ovulate regularly, clomiphene may be used for \"\"superovulation,\"\" where 2 or 3 eggs are produced. This increases the number of \"\"targets\"\" for the sperm, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy. Clomiphene is normally administered for five days during the follicular part of the cycle (the portion of the cycle following menstrual bleeding). Clomiphene is structurally similar to estrogen and acts on the estrogen receptor. First approved by the FDA in 1967, it has recently been reclassified as a selective-estrogen-receptor-modulator (SERM)."

A rare, errant egg wandering in the abdominal cavity could be fertilized there, leading to an abdominal pregnancy. Of course, fertilization can also occur in a test tube. Yes, it's possible for fertilization to occur in the uterus but it is unlikely to lead to conception, since unfertilized eggs begin to degenerate once these reach the uterus, making it soon unsuitable for healthy fertilization. Even if it is fertilized, the egg requires 5 days of subdivision to achieve the implantable blastocyst stage, which is too long to overcome its relatively rapid transit down the length of the uterine cavity.8.2k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

Remember everyone ovulates differently. But what it boils down to is you can probably get pregnant between the 12 to 16th day of your cycle because sperm can live for a while inside your body, so if you have sex on the 12 day it can live until the egg is released. Source (s): I am a nurse. Amber · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment This depends on the length of your cycles. 28 days is the average cycle length for women. Ovulation occurs on about Day 14 in women who have 28 day cycles. ( Day 1 is the first day of bleeding.)

"text": "What are follicles? Number, growth and other characteristics What are ovarian follicles? To start with, let’s state what follicles are not. Follicles are not oocytes (eggs). Many patients confuse these terms, believing that follicle equals oocyte. The female gamete is the egg, and the male gamete is the sperm. These are the cells involved in embryos obtained after fertilization. The follicle is a functional anatomical structure which forms part of the ovary and the egg is the cell that will mature in a microscopic part of inner wall of a follicle over spontaneous or stimulated ovarian cycle in normal conditions. Furthermore, the follicle contains other cell types which produce oestrogen required for normal development of the egg maturation. Ovarian cycle: follicular mellowing (follicular phase)."

"text": "Fertility Articles Low Ovarian Reserve – What does it really mean? Share Share Share By Gail F. Whitman-Elia, MD, MPH, HCLD © West Columbia, South Carolina Many centers have come to rely on ovarian reserve testing in order to identify those patients unlikely to become pregnant prior to initiation of a first IVF treatment cycle. In theory, women unlikely to conceive can be given the opportunity to avoid the financial disappointment associated with an IVF failure. If a patient should still choose to use her own oocytes, then appropriate counseling can be given. Additionally, her treatment schedule can be adjusted in an attempt to optimize the stimulation response although we currently have no good evidence for the effectiveness of such adjustments. Establishing a test regimen that defines the best and the worst potential IVF candidates has been a pursuit of many researchers. Clinical literature is filled with articles addressing this issue. Unfortunately, rather than helping patients make decisions about their treatment, it appears that pre-treatment ovarian reserve testing has generated more patient distress than benefit (1). If you personally have had difficulty understanding what your test results mean you should know that as a professional group IVF practitioners are also conflicted about what the test results mean and how to appropriately apply them in a given situation.

You know your goal: a healthy baby, but knowing what to expect on the journey from here to there is a lot harder. While every case is unique, and it is impossible to predict exactly how your cycle will go, we can sketch out a basic timeline and tell you about the most important landmarks along the way. In order to understand what you will be experiencing throughout the IVF process, it is important to have a good grasp on what IVF actually is and how it works. A brief introduction to IVFIn vitro fertilization is a latin phrase that means “in glass.” The human body is magnificent but unpredictable. Even with the most sophisticated imaging technology in the world, it is not easy to see what is happening on the inside. When a woman is struggling to conceive, IVF is often the most effective ways to help, whether or not we know what is causing her infertility. IVF allows us to create a controlled environment that significantly enhances the opportunity for fertilization of the egg."

According to Dr. Mark Leondires, medical director of Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut, it was originally thought of as a breast cancer treatment drug because of its anti-estrogenic properties. While treating patients for breast cancers, it was accidentally discovered that the drug also helped induce ovulation. “ So for the past 40 years Clomid has been the tried-and-true bargain-basement fertility drug to augment natural ovulation in millions of women,” Dr. Leondires says. Who Benefits? Your doctor may prescribe Clomid if you: Have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with this condition do not ovulate on a normal cycle, says Dr. Judith Albert, medical director of Reproductive Health Specialists in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Clomid has its highest success rates when PCOS is the reason for the infertility because it increases frequency and predictability of ovulation. You suffer from unexplained infertility. In other words, if “you’ve been trying for at least a year to become pregnant, the woman is under 35, all the tests have been done and come back normal,” Dr. Albert says."

"text": "\"Fusion Splicing Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers. Virtually all singlemode splices are fusion. Multimode fibers can be harder to fusion splice as the larger core with many layers of glass that produces the graded-index profile are sometimes harder to match up, especially with fibers of different types or manufacturers. Fusion splicing may be done one fiber at a time or a complete fiber ribbon from ribbon cable at one time. First we'll look at single fiber splicing and then ribbon splicing. Fusion splicing machines are mostly automated tools that require you preset the splicing parameters or choose factory recommended settings that will control the splicing process itself. All require the use of a precision fiber cleaver that scribes and breaks (cleaves) the fibers to be spliced precisely, as the quality of the splice will depend on the quality of the cleave. Most splicing machines come with a recommended cleaver. Proper use of both the splicing machine and the cleaver require carefully following the manufacturer's directions."

"text": "Ficus Tree Care: Tips For Growing Ficus Indoors Ficus Plants By: Heather Rhoades Printer Friendly Version Image by Watcha Ficus trees are a common plant in the home and office, mainly because they look like a typical tree with a single trunk and a spreading canopy. But for all of their popularity, ficus plants are finicky. However, if you know how to care for a ficus tree, you’ll be better equipped with keeping it healthy and happy in your home for years. Learn About Ficus Houseplants What is commonly referred to as a ficus is technically a weeping fig. It’s a member of the Ficus genus of plants, which also includes rubber trees and fig fruit trees, but when it comes to houseplants, most people refer to a weeping fig ( Ficus benjamina) as simply a ficus. Ficus trees can maintain their tree-like shape regardless of their size, so this makes them ideal for bonsais or for massive houseplants in large spaces. Their leaves can be either dark green or variegated. In recent years, some imaginative nurseries have started to take advantage of their pliable trunks to braid or twist the plants into different forms. Growing Ficus Indoors Most ficus trees enjoy bright indirect or filtered light with variegated varieties happily able to take medium light. Bright, direct light may result in scalding of the leaves and leaf loss."

It’s quite simple to prune your ficus so that it can remain in the space you have for it. Pruning at the right time and in the right way may also make the plant fuller and more attractive. Steps1 Get some bypass garden pruning shears to prune a ficus.2 Choose the right time to prune. Prune your ficus tree after new growth stops for the best results. Most ficus trees put out new growth in spring and early summer. Late summer and early fall are good times to prune. Prune right before bringing a ficus back indoors if it was summered outside. Pruning can be done anytime if it’s necessary to make the plant fit into a certain area. Prune off dead or broken branches at any time.3 Examine the tree to see where it needs to be controlled."

Unfortunately, it’s the trees that are being cut down for timber or to make way for farm land. This means many species go extinct, some disappearing before we even knew they existed. Due to different diseases and its geographic location, the Amazon Rainforest contains an exceptional diversity of trees, which provide abundant habitats for an incredible diversity of different Amazon animals and plants. Back in 1988, in the forests of Iquitos in northern Peru, Alwyn Howard Gentry set the world record for tree diversity recording 300 different species per hectare. Tropical trees are difficult to age as they lack identifiable growth rings, but recently scientists have estimated that Amazon trees can be up to 1000 years old or older. Here I will mention some of the largest and most famous trees in the Amazon Rainforest.

"text": "Rubber Tree Care Ficus elastica Description Many varieties of Ficus make excellent indoor plants and the elastica is one of the most popular, due to its sturdy central stem and shiny, oval, deep green, leathery leaves that grow to be up to 12” (30cm) in length. The plant itself can reach 10’ (3m) if well cared for and is commonly called the Rubber Tree. In its natural habitat it can reach 80’ (25m)! The emerging leaves are encased in an interesting rust-red protective sheath and the vein on the underside of the leaf remains red. They originate mainly in the tropics and subtropics of India and Malaysia. Light and Temperature Some direct sun light will not harm the Rubber Tree but they will do well in medium to bright light. Normal home temperatures are fine for this plant through spring and summer with maximum of 58°-65°F (15°-18°C) and minimum of 50°-55°F (10°-13°C) winter temps. The Rubber Tree does not like abrupt changes in temperature and does not like drafts. Watering Be certain not to overwater your Rubber Tree and let the soil dry down about 2/3’s of the way before re-watering. Water until you see it run out the bottom of the pot and then wait."

I came across what they called \"\"Bonzai\"\" for $10.00 ea but, even though I always wanted one, I knew they weren't real Bonzai. And then... THEN... I got to the 50% off table and there was the very same Bonzai for 50% off!! Why? They had shriveled leaves, spots, most looked hopelessly dead. Except ONE. One only had bad leaves on the ends of some of the branches and the rest of the plant looked okay. I'm a sucker for a plant in need so for $5.00 I have a Walmart Bonzai. I trimmed back the dead/shriveled/spotted leaves which probably took about 1/4 to 1/3 off the plant. Now could someone help me identify it so I can find out how to care for it for real?"

"text": "Browse > Home / Archive by category 'Varieties'Ficus Benjamina The Weeping Fig Ficus benjamina, often referred to as the weeping Ficus or weeping fig, is one of the most prolific plants and is widely used as a indoor plant an as large trees in interior landscapes. The benjamina used to be considered a landscape plant of choice, but more recent studies have revealed that its aggressive root system and the enormous sizes Ficus can achieve have caused landscape designers and architects to rethink the use of this plant. Today the Ficus sees limited landscape use, but is still grown in large quanities for indoor use. Outdoors there is great debate whether it should be planted outside as it has been known to disturb septic lines, crack concrete walkways and even cause major damage to building foundations. The indoor use of Ficus benjamina, however, is highly praised by many of these same professionals and has made this plant a staple today for the interior plant industry. This is mainly due to the rapid growth and ease of maintenance of Ficus benjamina as well as the aesthetic value the plant adds to an otherwise bland room. The plant does have a few small pesky problems, to name a few, scale insects, and of course cultural practices that are not conducive to plant health like over or under watering and too cold or too hot temperatures. Once Ficus benjamina becomes acclimated to its final resting place very little effort is needed to maintain a good looking and healthy specimen. This plant will tolerate a great deal of abuse and frankly is difficult to kill. The weeping fig will tell its owner it needs attention by dropping its beautiful dark green and glossy foliage."

When caring for indoor ficus tree plants, the proper light, soil, pruning and fertilization are essential for a healthy plant. Light and Soil Plant the ficus in a well-draining potting mix. Purchase a loamy soil with added vermiculite or perlite for drainage, or mix your own. Use 3 parts loam 1 part peat and 1 part sand for a well-draining mixture. Plant in a deep pot with drainage holes so the water can run out. Place the ficus near a window in a room that gets bright light in the summer with more moderate light in the winter."

Ficus plants do best in tropical or greenhouse conditions, where strong light and warm temperatures are abundant. Some ficus varieties, such as F. carcia, can survive in U. S. Department of Agriculture zone 5 with some winter protection. Others, including F. aurea, grow best in USDA zones 9a through 11. Ficus can grow as a full-size tree in the yard if your climate permits it; otherwise, keep your ficus confined to a container indoors.1Drop the ficus seeds in a glass of water to determine which seeds are sterile and which are fertile.

Poole and Charles A. Conover**Ficus elastica cultivars, such as 'Burgundy', 'Decora' and 'Robusta' are very popular plants for interior use. Growers continue to search for ways to reduce propagation time, labor costs, and bench space used during propagation. These plants are propagated primarily by air layering and tissue culture. The European system of propagation by single eye cuttings shows promise for the production of single stem plants because it provides many more cuttings per stem than layering. We conducted several experiments to examine methods of propagating ficus by single eye cuttings with portions of the leaf removed or with leaf rolled, and also to determine potential benefits of fertilizer and various soil mixes. The two most common methods used to reduce propagation bench space, taken up by large-leaved ficus cuttings, involve removing portions of the leaf or rolling the leaf longitudinally and securing it with a rubber band. Experiment 1 used single eye cuttings of Ficus elastica 'Decora' placed in 4 inch pots containing Canadian sphagnum peat. Treatments included removal of 50% of the leaf or no removal, rolling or not rolling leaves, and 0 or 3 g/pot 14-14-14 Osmocote fertilizer applied to soil medium surface. Osmocote is a slow-release fertilizer manufactured by Sierra Chemical Co., Milpitas, CA. Dolomitic lime at 10 lb/yd 3 was added to soil prior to potting."

"text": "\"Everyone in the southern halves of Florida and California knows what a ficus is. Everyone knows that ficus trees are to be avoided more, even, than crab grass or poison ivy. Planted anywhere in the neighbourhood, their roots will lift walls and driveways, seek out swimming pools and crack the lining, and find their way through the sewer lines into the toilets and bidets of unsuspecting maidens with unmentionable results. All of this comes from years of misuse by developers who overplanted the huge species in their quest to develop tree shaded communities overnight, and have given the whole genus a bad name. It has reached the point where the use of \"\"ficus\"\" is banned in some communities, and the word itself causes an automatic negative response. No one could argue that the large-growing ficus, with their vigorous root systems and ability to thrive on neglect, have a place in the small properties that are the norm in most cities, and neither are species such as Ficus benjamina, F. microcarpa, F. benghalensis and F. elastica suitable choices for street or parking lot trees where tree lawns necessarily are very restricted in size. However, there are some species that are no more than large shrubs when full grown and some trees with restrained growth that deserve to be better known and to be used more commonly. Let me be more positive: there are some superb plants involved here, one of which was recognized by the Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association as a Plant of the Year for the year 2000. This plant is one of two that have been grown in the United States under the name Ficus 'Green Island'. They are similar in many ways, but need to be grown under separate names since they also have major differences."

A sun-dappled yard, lined with large trees, will provide the appropriate conditions for a young ficus to grow. Ficus like warm temperatures and high humidity. Both of these conditions may be difficult to provide in coastal areas, where temperatures tend to be moderate, and inland areas where the air is dry and temperatures more extreme.

While its size can still be tamed some what, you have to keep in mind it will eventually require a certain amount of space. The common name comes from the \"\"rubber\"\" sap that oozes out of the leaves and woody stems if they are scratched or cut. There is often so much of it, that there is a drip factor which you need to be careful with. Also the milky latex is not particularly pleasant to humans or pets if taken internally and it's an irritant to the eyes and skin so treat it carefully. On the plus side, Dr Wolverton ranks the Rubber Plant as one of the very best houseplants to clean the air. It also scores really well with resistance to pests and diseases and has a high transpiration rate which increases the humidity of the room it lives in. The true latin name for this plant is Ficus elastica, however the traditional early versions have generally been replaced by more modern cultivars and closely related varieties. For this reason you might find the plant labeled as Ficus robusta (which as the name suggests is much more robust and hardy), other highlights include the compact Decora, and the almost black leaved Black Prince. You may also come across some of the variegated types, these are harder to come by because they are trickier to keep looking great in homes as they need good light levels, however look out for Doescheri which has pink and purple flushes in the leaves."

These species typically do not tolerate temperatures under 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Because Ficus evolved on the forest floor, they can withstand poor indoor light. Their thick, waxy leaves enable them to tolerate dry indoor air. Growing Conditions Although Ficus bonsai tolerate poor light and dry air, try to place them where they will receive sunshine. Most Ficus species grow attractive, gnarled aerial roots if they have sufficient humidity. Placing Ficus bonsais' pots on gravel trays that have water and keeping them away from radiators and heating vents encourages humidity. Most Ficus bonsai grow best at temperatures between 59 to 86 F. To increase their health and vigor, place them outside during summer if the nighttime temperature is at least 54 F. The plants need to be kept away from drafts, and they do best with few temperature fluctuations. Repotting A Ficus bonsai that was already trained when purchased requires repotting.

Analysts are responsible for protecting a company from any potential harmful situations. Risk analysis is a career requiring a lot of specialized training and the ability to review and understand vast amounts of data in a short amount of time. Analysts may work in many sectors of the economy, including private banking, sales, and trading. Risk analysts typically work in one of four specialties. An operational risk analyst studies companies to watch for any large-scale issues that may have an impact on the overall company, such as employee fraud. Credit risk analysts determine the probability of a company's clients not paying for the services and products provided, and how that might affect the company. Market risk analysts help a company avoid outside influences that may have a negative affect on the company, such as changes in the competition. Regulatory risk analysts follow any changes in legislature that may affect the company. The daily tasks of a risk analyst differ depending on the analyst's specialty."

Large corporations and companies in certain industries (insurance, financial sector, accounting firms) commonly have another role in finance for actuarial analysis. So what do actuarial analysts do? The actuarial analyst is a role typically used in a company to perform different types of analysis and commonly work in areas related to assessing risk probabilities around financial gains and losses. Pension contributions, risk assessments, and insurance premiums are all areas where actuarial analysts commonly contribute to organizations. The complex nature of the transactions and estimates related to these issues are the reason why specialists are commonly used. Average accountants and financial analysts donâ t really have the skill set to work in these specialist areas. The duties can vary from industry to industry depending on what the specific focus is for that industry."

"text": "So, You Want to Work in Investment Management, Investment Banking, Corporate Banking, or Sales and Tradingby Carolyn Hoyt INVESTMENT MANAGEMENTWhat would I be doing? Investment managers are paid to make money for their clients by managing their portfolios buying and selling securities so as to ensure diversification, and maintaining a level of risk and return that the client wants. The tools investment managers use include proprietary recommendations from their firm’s research analysts and various analytical tools as well as sheer experience, nerve, and market savvy. What is the typical career path? If you start out at a firm that has a lot of mutual funds—a diversified investment firm like Wachovia or an insurance firm such as Met Life–you’ll basically be hired as a research analyst. Fresh college grads are hired for entry-level jobs as research analysts along with MBA’s. Their task is to focus on a segment of the market in which their firm—or their particular fund—is invested in, say technologies, airlines, or consumer goods, and make recommendations to the fund managers as to what stocks they should buy and sell. What kind of person is successful? Someone who is self-motivated, who loves doing research and learning, and who has excellent analytical skills (yes, that means math). This job also requires excellent communications skills, as almost every day you’ll have to write a note that sums up your research and recommends a “buy” or “sell” for the financial products that you’ve been following."

Decision makers use cash flow metrics such as NPV, ROI, IRR and Payback to evaluate cash flow streams and potential actions. Business firms must learn to manage revenues and expenses, on the one hand, and cash inflows and outflows on the other. What Are Cash Flow and Cash Flow Management? The term cash flow (CF) refers literally to the flow, or movement of cash funds into or out of a business. This article defines and explains cash flow analysis and measurement terms such as cash flow stream, net cash flow, and Cumulative cash flow. The purpose is to illustrate the role of these terms in financial accounting, investment analysis, and business case decision support. Cash flow is distinguished from accounting terms such as income, revenue, expense, and cost, all of which may result in CF, but which are not that themselves. Consider a person paying a restaurant bill with a credit card (a charge card, not a bank debit card). As a result, dinner is an expense event, but not cash flow."

The online marketplace is stepping into the gap that has opened as commercial banks have become reluctant to lend to small-business owners by beefing up its offer of lines of credit to users of its Pay Pal service. “They are going from a technology company to a financial services company,” said Gil Luria, analyst at financial services and investment firm Wed Bush. EBay’s EBAY, +1.00% Pay Pal, which it bought in 2002, has had an invitation only pilot program for small business credit since last fall, but it recently launched the offer more broadly under the name Pay Pal Working Capital. The service offers small business customers lines of credit that can be made available online for a fee and a fixed payment plan connected to sales. So far, it’s funded more than $150 million in loans to 20,000 U. S. businesses, the company says. The next stage is to expand in the U. K. and Australia. “They have relationships with millions of small business and 150 million consumers online,” said Luria. “ Adding credit is a natural next step. ”How does it work?"

"text": "A credit risk analyst reviews a potential borrower's financial history and determine how risky it is to lend money to that person or company. The fallout from the 2008 financial crisis has increased the perceived value of having skilled credit risk analysts on staff. After all, the crisis largely resulted from banks and lenders making loans to those who were in no position to pay them back on schedule. With companies now being much more fastidious about whom they lend money to, they rely on credit risk analysts to help them make credit decisions with the highest degree of accuracy. The scope of a credit risk analyst's job runs a broad gamut. Tiny mom-and-pop lenders all the way up to huge multinational banks employ credit risk analysts. Third-party credit rating agencies that are responsible for making public declarations about the risk levels of corporate and municipal bonds also use credit risk analysts to make these determinations. Investment banks, hedge funds and private equity firms employ credit risk analysts for the same reason: to analyze and grade bonds on their default risk. Having skilled and ethical credit risk analysts in such roles is more important than ever. Another major cause of the 2008 financial crisis was risky bonds backed by subprime mortgages."

"text": "A portfolio manager is an individual who develops and implements investment strategies for individuals or institutional investors. Under the purview of financial services industry careers, portfolio management positions are available with hedge funds, pension plans and private investment firms, or as part of an investment department of an insurance or mutual fund company. Portfolio managers may be called investment managers, wealth managers, asset managers or financial advisors, but a true portfolio manager position is focused on the analytical side of investing rather than the sales aspect. Job Description Portfolio managers are primarily responsible for creating and managing investment allocations for private clients. Some portfolio managers work with individuals and families, while others focus their attention on institutional or corporate investors. In most cases, a portfolio manager follows a predetermined strategy for investment, dictated by an investment policy statement (IPS), to achieve a client's investment objectives. Some portfolio managers craft the investment packages supplied to clients, while others simply manage client expectations and transactions. Portfolio managers have to buy and sell securities in an investor's account to maintain a specific investment strategy or objective over time. Clients are placed into investment allocations developed or managed by a portfolio manager after suitability is established. A portfolio manager determines a client's appropriate level of risk based on the client's time horizon, risk preferences, return expectations and market conditions."

[ 1]Although the original quantitative analysts were \"\" sell side quants\"\" from market maker firms, concerned with derivatives pricing and risk management, the meaning of the term has expanded over time to include those individuals involved in almost any application of mathematics in finance, including the buy side.

Merton, one of the pioneers of quantitative analysis, promoted stochastic calculus into the study of finance. Quantitative finance started in 1900 with Louis Bachelier 's doctoral thesis Theory of Speculation, which provided a model to price options under a Normal Distribution. Harry Markowitz 's 1952 doctoral thesis \"\"Portfolio Selection\"\" and its published version was one of the first efforts in economics journals to formally adapt mathematical concepts to finance (mathematics was until then confined to mathematics, statistics or specialized economics journals). [ 3] Markowitz formalized a notion of mean return and covariances for common stocks which allowed him to quantify the concept of \"\"diversification\"\" in a market. He showed how to compute the mean return and variance for a given portfolio and argued that investors should hold only those portfolios whose variance is minimal among all portfolios with a given mean return. Although the language of finance now involves Itō calculus, management of risk in a quantifiable manner underlies much of the modern theory."

It allows us to define investor relations, provide a brief overview of the investor relations evolution and discuss the current state and future trends in the investor relations profession. This paper also lists some of the most influential investor relations publications, Web sites, and blogs. Introduction Back to top In the first half of September 2008, the share price of Apple Inc experienced a notable decline. Financial analysts, however, did not attribute this drop in price to the poor financial standings of the corporation, bad strategy of business development, or weakening U. S. economy. The drop was largely attributed to the fact that Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs looked too thin during his recent public appearances…Investor relations is the most important specialization among all other sub-functions of public relations, at least based on the salaries investor relations practitioners earn. In fact, several salary surveys document investor relations as the highest paid specialization of public relations. 2006 salary survey sponsored by PRWeek and Korn Ferry identified investor relations as the highest paid of the eight specializations, or disciplines, measured. The median salary for practitioners specializing in “financial/IR” was $165,620, followed by “crisis management” ($150,000) and “reputation management” ($143,000). Salaries for the remaining specializations ranged from $98,500 for “public affairs” to $59,910 for “community relations."

By cavsi Category: Firewall Tags: Firewall A firewall is simply a program or hardware device that filters the information coming through the Internet connection into your private network or computer system. A firewall trusts nobody unless it is told otherwise. It secures your computer from the outside world. It helps protect computers inside a large company. A company can set up rules like this for FTP servers, Web servers, Telnet servers and so on. In addition, the company can control how employees connect to Web sites, whether files are allowed to leave the company over the network and so on. A firewall gives a company tremendous control over how people use the network. A firewall examines all traffic routed between the two networks to see if it meets certain criteria. If it does, it is routed between the networks, otherwise it is stopped."

"text": "How the “Great Firewall of China” Works to Censor China’s Internetby Chris Hoffman on September 22nd, 2016The Great Firewall of China, officially known the Golden Shield project, employs a variety of tricks to censor China’s Internet and block access to various foreign websites. We’ll be looking at some of the technical tricks the firewall uses to censor China’s Internet. When SOPA was being discussed, CEO of the MPAA Chris Dodd held China’s website-blocking up as a model of how the US could implement its own Internet censorship:“When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn’t do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites. ”Understanding what the Great Firewall of China does can help us understand how certain organizations want to put Internet censorship into place throughout the world. If you think the Great Firewall just uses one method of censorship, think again — it uses a variety of tricks. What Is the Great Firewall of China? If you haven’t been keeping track, China has a censored Internet. The Great Firewall of China is generally considered the largest, most extensive, and most advanced Internet censorship regime in the world. China censors content for a variety of reasons, often because it’s critical of the Chinese government or contrary to Communist Party policy. China doesn’t just block individual websites — they use techniques to scan URLs and web page content for blacklisted keywords like “Tiananmen” and block such traffic."

"text": "\"How to Always / Only Use VPN Connection and block ISP - Make Bittorrent only use VPN Connection VPNs are great for added security when using the Internet - but what about when the VPN drops or disconnects? Unfortunately, if you use Windows (any version), any running application (for example, Bit Torrent, your browser) will revert to using your ISP connection, exposing your IP address and opening you up to security and privacy issues. This is of particular concern when using a VPN to secure a public wi-fi spot. Windows will not prevent traffic in the event of a disconnect. There are many guides found online to prevent this using third-party firewalls such as Comodo, or using a third-party applications such as VPNet Mon or VPNCheck (neither of which I know anything about, and cannot speak to their reliability or safety). This guide will show you how to configure Windows 7 Firewall to block any specified application (I have used Firefox as an example - but you can pick any application, e.g. utorrent or your preferred torrent client) from using your ISP connection, and permit it to connect the the Internet using only the VPN connection. Users who are unfamiliar with the basic aspects of Windows 7 Firewall may wish to consult this guide. Unfortunately, this will not work with the built-in firewall in Windows XP or Vista. If the method described below does not work for you (or perhaps you don't want to mess with your firewall, or you use Windows XP / 2000 / Vista / Mac OS X), consider using a VPN that offers a client with IP Binding, which will prevent any selected application (s) from accessing the Internet in the event of an unexpected disconnection.privateinternetaccess.com features PPTP, L2TP and Open VPN options on a fast, secure (and P2P-friendly!) network and has Windows and OS X clients that prevent leaking in the event of unexpected VPN disconnection."

Follow 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A stateful firewall (any firewall that performs stateful packet inspection (SPI) or stateful inspection) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. The firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection will be allowed by the firewall; others will be rejected. Stateful inspection, also referred to as Dynamic Packet Filtering, is a security feature often included in business networks. Usually ok to delete on home networks if you have a good software firewall. Can cause problems with connections.

"text": "\"Comparing Firewall Features Deb Shinder Posted On February 23, 200401 Views0Share On Facebook Tweet It Every business organization that's connected to the Internet needs a firewall to protect the internal network from attacks, but selecting the right firewall can be an overwhelming task. There are a plethora of products on the market, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. Software firewalls, hardware firewalls, \"\"personal\"\" firewalls, enterprise firewalls - how do you even begin to evaluate their features and determine what you need and what you don't? Not Your Father's Firewall Computer and network security needs have changed drastically over the past several years, and firewall technology has evolved to meet those new, more demanding needs. The traditional firewall was a fairly simple construct: it sat between the LAN (or in the case of personal firewalls, an individual computer) and the \"\"outside world\"\" of the Internet, and filtered packets coming in - and in some cases, going out - based on information in the Layer 3 and 4 headers (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP ). The decision to accept or reject a packet was usually based on the source or destination address or port number. As attackers grew more sophisticated and began to exploit higher layer protocols (DNS, SMTP, POP3, etc. ), firewalls had to do more. Most business-class firewalls today perform at least some application layer filtering, or ALF. See my article \"\"ALF: What is it and How Does it Fit into Your Security Plan\"\" on this site for details."

"text": "How To Configure a Comcast Business Class Static IP Address Posted by Bob Jackson | Home Networking, Technology | 106This tutorial explains how to configure a Comcast Business Class static IP address to enable remote access to network clients from the Internet. The Comcast Business IP Gateway (SMC8014 or NETGEAR CG3000DCR) is configured for pseudo bridge mode by disabling the normal routing, firewall, NAT and DHCP functions. The Internet-routable static IP address is assigned the Linksys Wi Fi router WAN interface for remote Internet access to LAN clients. Remote Internet Access Problem I was helping a small business setup IP network cameras with the Comcast Business Class cable modem service but ran into a problem with Internet remote access: the DDNS agent in the Linksys Wi Fi router was showing a 10.1.10.10 (“10 space”) non-Internet routable private IP address. I logged into the Dyn Remote Access account saw the 10.1.10.10 private IP address listed in the Host Services table. The problem is the Comcast IP Gateway operates in Router Mode and assigns a 10.1.10.x private IP address to the Linksys router WAN interface. My first thought was to request a standard cable modem which operates in Bridge Mode, however Comcast Business does not support static IP addresses on standard cable modems and you must use their Business IP gateway (cable modem/router combo) to get an Internet routable static IP address. Comcast Business Class Internet will install a NETGEAR CG3000DCR IP Gateway which is a cable modem and router combo that runs a custom firmware load by Comcast. ( We originally had an SMC8014 gateway which Comcast replaced with a NETGEAR CG3000DCR when the SMC8014 failed). The Comcast IP Gateway does not support true Bridge Mode as compared to a basic cable modem nor does it provide a simple user menu option to select the “bridge mode | router mode” working mode like some gateways."

For the uninitiated, as in, those who have never visited the country, it is not full of flamenco dancers, bullfighting, donkeys and perpetual sunshine. Flamenco is mainly confined to Andalucia in the south, where there is a strong tradition of the dance. Bullfighting continues across the country, however its popularity is dwindling, and in Catalunya, bullfighting has been banned. Cantabria has its own plaza de toros in Santander, however the majority of bullfights only take place during special festivals. There is also a dearth of donkeys ambling around Spain, especially Cantabria, where you will only really find them in Santillana del Mar’s zoo, or farms. Sunshine is also at a premium in Cantabria, as its green land attracts a high level of rainfall. Despite Cantabria’s ability to shatter almost every illusion of Spain, culturally it remains almost identical to the rest of the country. Manuel Suarez Cortina, a lecturer of contemporary Cantabrian history at the University of Cantabria, says in principal there are no fundamental differences between Cantabria’s culture and that of Spain."

These members of the Nudibranch order are named for their flowing shape that resembles the moving skirt of a Flamenco dancer! Spanish Dancers are even beautiful in the way that they lay their eggs. They lay them in a ribbon shaped pattern that, when all assembled, looks like a red rose! Strange beauty aside, Spanish Dancers are notable because they are one of the few Sea Slugs that can actually swim, albeit only for short distances. They do so by unfolding their wide mantles and undulating through the water. Spanish Dancers are also the largest of all Nudibranches. Spanish Dancers are carnivores that often eat toxic prey that they are immune to like Sea Sponges and Portuguese Man-O-Wars. Consuming the toxic meals makes the Dancer itself toxic, creating a defense mechanism to keep them safe from their own predators. The \"\"egg-roses\"\" that the Spanish Dancers lay are also incredibly toxic, which keeps predators from eating the developing slugs."

"text": "\"Flamenco shoes are a type of shoe worn to perform dances to the Spanish Flamenco music style that has delighted audiences for centuries. The term \"\"flamenco shoes\"\" usually refers to women’s shoes, because in most flamenco dances, men more properly wear boots. The nails in the heels and toes are what make these shoes special, because they allow the dancers to use their feet as percussive instruments that complement and enhance the music. When They're Needed Someone who is starting flamenco dance lessons might not need these special shoes right away. Most companies that teach flamenco dance to beginners merely recommend the use of a sturdy shoe. Flamenco shoes are almost always high-heeled, so a good jazz or ballroom dance shoe usually is a start in the right direction. For someone who continues with dancing, however, it’s vital to get the appropriate shoes, because so much of flamenco dancing depends on using the nails and taps to create a rhythm. Features The typical women's flamenco shoe is most often available in black or red and looks very much like a high-heeled jazz shoe. The shoe has a sturdy heel of about 1-2 inches (2.54-5.08 cm) in height. Essentially, the heel of the shoe provides almost total support underneath the heel of the foot."

Although Flamenco is without doubt the most famous of Spanish dance styles, it is most certainly not the only one. Other styles of Spanish dance include the Fandango, the Bolero, the Sevillanas, the Sardana and the Jota. Many of these dances originated as folk dances and were later choreographed, in order to standardise and preserve them. Spanish Dance Spanish dance has always been famous over the centuries as Spain is an example of a country where the art of dance has been developed extensively. So much so, that dance could be said to be the national art of Spain. In fact, Flamenco has been considered to be of such value to Spanish culture that UNESCO has named it an Item of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Even the Romans, who conquered Spain in the 3rd Century, found the dancers of Cádiz to be most pleasing. Spanish dance is also a resilient art form as it is intangible. This means it was protected from destruction by many forces such as the Visigoths, who destroyed buildings and books during their stay in the Spanish peninsular."

We’re in Barcelona, on December 10th…by Florentina Tone December 10: no better way to start the adventure of the Grand Prix Final than meeting Maia and Alex Shibutani at the end of their practice session; they looked happy and relaxed while leaving the arena – and, two days later, they would skate a marvel of a short dance in Barcelona, to Flamenco/Paso Doble. December 10: now that’s what I call a wonderful encounter, with some of the most innovative skaters out there, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier. A joy to have finally met the Canadians who caught my eye in 2012 with their ingenious routines; I’ve been following them ever since and Inside Skating has been lucky enough to host some of their thoughts and stories in 2014.

The rumba has its influences in the music brought to Cuba by Spanish colonizers as well as Africans brought to Cuba as slaves. Rumba is more than a music and dance genre; it is the collective expression of the Creole nature of the island itself. Rumba is a secular genre of Congolese African and Spanish flamenco influences, and is one of the primary ancestors of popular music in Cuba. Map of Cuba Rumba developed in the Cuban provinces of Havana and Matanzas (one hour east of Havana) in the late 19th century, as a blending of Congolese-derived drumming styles and Spanish flamenco-singing influences. As a sexually charged Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it was viewed as dangerous and lewd. Afro-Cuban rumba is entirely different than ballroom rumba, or the African style of pop music called rumba. Rumba developed in rural Cuba, and is still danced in Havana, Mantanzas and other Cuban cities as well as rural areas, especially those with a significant or predominant black community, although now it is infused with influences from jazz and hip hop. A Cuban Rumba song often begins with the soloist singing meaningless syllables, which is called 'diana (s)'.

"text": "Flamenco Dance History Flamenco Dance is a Spanish dance form, practiced in the Andalusia, the southern region of Spain. The dance reflects the passion, romance and fervor of people and is beautifully crafted with grace and dignity. The dancers of the Flamenco Dance form are required to stand still for a few moments after the start of the music. As the dancer gets engrossed in the music, absorbing everything which comes his/her way, the inspiration makes him/her start the act. Flamenco Dance is basically a physical expression of the emotions meted out in the song. It is basically tries to convey the meaning of words through dance and depends on the personal expression of the performer. Duet is the most popular form of Flamenco Dance. The dancers look at each other passionately, expressing their emotions through various facial expressions. Throughout the dance the dancers keep their eyes locked, building a labyrinth of love, desire and sentiments. The role of the Flamenco dancers is to tell tales of love or lamentation, through graceful and light arm movements which contrast the reverberating and intense feet tapping."

If you ever travel to Seville, not only you'll see it's extremely passionate, but it is also a lot of fun and a great way to learn a Spanish dance. Flamenco History Flamenco originated in the Spanish region of Andalusia in the 18th Century and is closely linked to the gitano (gypsy) culture present in that region. The art form of Flamenco consists of three distinct parts: the 'cante' or song, the 'toque' or playing of the guitar, and the 'baile' or dance. The real expansion period for Flamenco in Spain was the period which has now been dubbed the Golden Age of Flamenco. This period, from 1869 to 1910, saw the appearance of cafes cantantes. The cafes cantantes were small venues that organised small, ticketed performances of Flamenco. Thanks to the cafés cantantes, Flamenco became a public attraction and increased in popularity amongst the general public. The cafés cantantes were successful as they made Flamenco into an organised, structured performance with specific times, artists and songs. Although this was a more commercialised form of the traditional organic, spontaneous Flamenco meetings, it made Flamenco more accessible to the general public and visitors to Spain."

It was originally released in 1993, as a new flamenco rumba pop fusion theme with fully Spanish lyrics, with a significant success in Spain and Mexico. After being remixed by the Bayside Boys and having English lyrics added, it became a worldwide summer hit in 1996. The single spent 14 weeks at number-one on the U. S.

"text": "Getty Images By Mandy Oaklander May 18, 2015TIME Health For more, visit TIME Health. Signing up your kid for ballet class might seem like a great way to get them some exercise. But when ranked against other forms of dance in terms of how much exercise it provides, ballet class didn’t even come close to first position. “People are very aware of the obesity epidemic but not as concerned as they should be about the low levels of activity in our country,” says study author James Sallis, distinguished professor of family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego, and author of the new study published in the journal Pediatrics. The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American children and adolescents get an hour of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day, but many fall short — especially girls, who are consistently found to be less active than boys, he says. But most kinds of dance aren’t helping close that gender gap, Sallis and his team found. Researchers studied the activity levels of 264 girls in two age ranges: children ages 5 to 10 and adolescents ages 11 to 18. The dancers were outfitted with accelerometers to measure the intensity of their movements. In total, the researchers measured levels in 66 dance classes of a wide range of styles: ballet, jazz, hip-hop, flamenco, salsa, tap and partnered dance like swing and ballroom. Only 8% of children and 6% of adolescents achieved the 30-minute recommendation for after-school moderate-to-vigorous exercise."

It exists in three forms: el cante, the song, el baile, the dance, and la guitarra, the guitar playing. Gypsies are often credited with the \"\"invention\"\" of flamenco, and it is at least certain that they played an important part in its creation. But the popular songs and dances of Andalusia also had a major influence on early Flamenco. First there were the legendary Tartessos, and later, nine centuries of Muslim history in the Iberian Peninsula. Neither passed without leaving an imprint on Andalusian culture, and both influenced flamenco, directly and indirectly. The earliest mention of flamenco in literature is in Las Cartas Marruecas of Cadalso, in 1774. During its Golden Age (1869-1910), flamenco developed into its definitive form in the epoch´s numerous music cafés (cafés cantantes). Flamenco´s most intense form, cante jondo, expressing deep feelings, dates from this period. And in the cafés cantantes, the art of flamenco dance rose to new heights as the dancers became the major attraction."

of suffering commonly experienced by persons with life-limiting illness and their families Joint Commission for Accreditation of Hospitals new pain standards represent a step forward, however, their focus is on physical pain only Palliative care recognizes a complex relationship between physical pain (and other symptoms) and emotional and spiritual suffering Physical pain itself can be exacerbated by non-physical causes such as fear, anxiety, grief, unresolved guilt, depression, and unmet spiritual needs Likewise, the inability to manage physical pain well can be due to emotional or spiritual issues Persons may refuse pain medication due to fear or because they wish to be alert to interact with loved ones or because they believe they deserve to suffer Unrelieved physical pain, among other symptoms, may itself cause emotional or spiritual suffering Finally, some emotional or spiritual suffering — especially in certain cultures — may manifest itself as physical pain or other physical maladies Spiritual influences on physical pain Spiritual frameworks and religious traditions influence how persons interpret and experience physical pain How mind, body, and spirit are understood in relationship to each other and, in some cases, in relationship to a deity or deities is important to understand Usually this framework is broader to include suffering of all kinds, whether its cause is physical or due to other causes Examples Cultural interpretations of pain and suffering may conflict with goals of palliative care Sometimes, these cultural and religious interpretations of pain and suffering can conflict with the stated goal of palliative care: to relieve pain and suffering This is why a holistic, interdisciplinary assessment of pain is necessary Plans to manage pain pharmacologically often fail or patients do not comply with these plans when the larger spiritual framework is not adequately understood and integrated into the plan of care Spiritual practices may help in the management of physical pain Increasingly, medical staff recognize the palliative nature of religious and spiritual practices Some practices that have been proven to help in the management of physical pain include: Prayer Relaxation techniques Chanting Ritual cleansing Acts of atonement Shamanic treatments Acupuncture Herbal remedies Spiritual pain and suffering may be caused by physical pain and other symptoms Loss of personhood Despair Feelings of abandonment by God Requests for assisted suicide (See Module 5: Physician Assisted Suicide Debate)Assessment should include attention to spiritual suffering when pain is identified Once the physical pain is better managed, the interdisciplinary team should explore whether there is any spiritual pain remaining Spiritual pain and suffering not caused by physical pain or other physical symptoms is common for persons with life-limiting illnesses and for their families The knowledge that a person is dying may evoke: Anger Loss of hope and meaning Shame or guilt Grief Fear A holistic pain assessment, therefore, should be conducted whether or not the person is manifesting any physical symptoms^top

Physical Unrelieved pain Shortness of breath Sleeplessness Other signs Conflict between the goals of palliation and religious beliefs Fixation on nutrition, herbal remedies, or miraculous cure^top The Opportunity for Spiritual Growth at the End of Life Personal growth and healing often occur at the end of life Although a terminal illness may be perceived or experienced primarily as negative or devastating, for many persons it becomes an opportunity for personal growth and healing In its Greek origin, the word “crisis” includes a sense of possibility, connotes opportunity Spiritual growth at end of life is possible for all persons regardless of belief Persons need not share a religious or philosophical framework that says that good can come out of difficult times or life out of death in order to experience growth and healing at the end of life Spiritual growth does not diminish suffering Contrarily, that some healing happens does not diminish the very real suffering experienced both by the person who is terminally ill and by their family What precipitates personal and spiritual growth at the end of life? As persons are less able to engage in life activities due to functional limitations, they have time for spiritual reflection and spiritual practice Dependency, loss, fear, and suffering lead many persons to turn to (or return to) their religious tradition for meaning, strength, and comfort Individual may take emotional and spiritual risks they would otherwise avoid Because family members will not have another opportunity with their loved one, they often seek healing, connection, and reconciliation Facing death evokes spiritual questions (about forgiveness, afterlife, the value of life itself) not normally asked in the course of daily living For medical staff opportunities for personal growth abound in our own feelings of powerlessness, experience of multiple losses or painful deaths and as we bear witness to the courage, love, and faith of patients and families How can the palliative care team help facilitate personal and spiritual growth for patients and families at the end of life? By treating physical pain and other symptoms so patients and families have room to focus on relationships, life review, and spiritual practice By offering assistance in finances and insurance matters and providing respite to limit caregiver stress By helping the patient and family identify spiritual, relational, and emotional “goals” or “tasks” in addition to the management of physical pain As an “outsider,” by noticing opportunities for healing and growth in the course of an illness that the patient and family might overlook By asking whether their spiritual, philosophical, or religious framework offers comfort, meaning, or direction for action By sharing stories of how other patients and families have found meaning, hope, and healing during this time of life By being emotionally and spiritually “present” in the face of suffering and despair By inviting the participation of the psychologist, social worker or chaplain^top Assessment Tools and Opportunities Visual Cues Indicating Possible Religious or Spiritual Beliefs and Practices Visual cues indicating possible religious or spiritual beliefs and practices may include: Representations of religious figures or community leaders Religious symbols or art Prayer books or scripture Books about the meaning of illness or healing practices Religious clothing such as a prayer shawl Altars or shrines Herbal remedies Any other objects considered sacred, invested with healing powers, or used for specific religious practices These items may be: Found in a person’s home Brought to the hospital In some cases, worn Special Note: It is always wise to explore what meaning these may hold for a patient or family rather than drawing direct assumptions about a person’s religious orientation Case Example As she was making morning rounds, the palliative care nurse noticed that Mrs. B. (who was unresponsive and actively dying) held something shiny in her left hand. The nurse easily identified the object as a rosary but was confused because Mrs. B. had clearly stated on her admission form that she had “no religious affiliation.” Later that day when Mrs. B’s niece was visiting, the nurse asked if the rosary held special meaning for the patient. The niece burst into tears, confessing that the patient had left the Catholic Church many years ago and had never wanted to rejoin, even as she was dying. Upon further exploration, the niece confessed she was worried that if her aunt died outside of the church, they would never meet again in heaven. After expressing sympathy for her concern, the nurse asked the niece if it would be helpful for her to speak with the hospital’s Catholic chaplain.^top Language as a Possible Indicator of Spiritual or Religious Framework As patients and families ask questions about their illness, discuss treatment plans, or carry on casual conversation, listen for phrases suggesting explicit religious beliefs such as:“If God wills it...”“It is in the hands of the man upstairs”“"

Flat feet Synonyms Pes planus, fallen arches A flat foot Specialty Orthopedics Flat feet (also called pes planus or fallen arches) is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. An estimated 20–30% of the general population have an arch that simply never develops in one or both feet. There is a functional relationship between the structure of the arch of the foot and the biomechanics of the lower leg. The arch provides an elastic, springy connection between the forefoot and the hind foot. This association safeguards so that a majority of the forces incurred during weight bearing of the foot can be dissipated before the force reaches the long bones of the leg and thigh. [ 1]In pes planus, the head of the talus bone is displaced medially and distal from the navicular. As a result, the Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament) and the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle are stretched, so much so that the individual with pes planus loses the function of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). If the MLA is absent or nonfunctional in both the seated and standing positions, the individual has “rigid” flatfoot."

Here is an example: FIFTH-LETTER CHANGE (6)When Felix gets a whiff of ONE, You see him jump and run, But still, before the day is through, He’s curled up for a TWO.

Exercisers and athletes have much to gain from getting the best possible shoes on their feet. There are now many examples of how both leg pain and the inability to run longer distances have been cured by using basic shoe information. A good athlete can become even better with the correct choice of shoes. Over recent years, ambitious analyses of exercise shoes have been carried out, providing those of us who work with problem-feet a better basis for our diagnoses, and a method of treatment for both shoe customers and patients. For those plagued by chronic foot or jogging-related problems, this has meant a vast improvement in their chances for seeing an end to their discomfort. From our daily contact with customers and patients over the last years, we have marked an obvious need for better information regarding both exercise and walking shoes.

DFSP is most commonly found on the torso, but can also be seen on the arms, legs, head and neck. It has a tendency to recur in the same location after it is removed. However, it only spreads to other parts of the body in about 5% of cases. DFSP most often starts as a small, firm patch of skin, approximately one to five centimeters in diameter.

"text": "\"Flat affect is a condition in which a person does not display emotions to the degree that other members of his or her culture would normally exhibit. It is used loosely to mean a dampening of these emotions, but clinically, it is usually reserved for more serious cases where patients may appear nearly inanimate or lacking emotional function. Performance of affect is culturally specific, and so there is no single standard by which one may be judged as flat. This condition is often associated with depression and schizophrenia, but it may also be involved in certain illnesses that affect the facial muscles, preventing afflicted people from expressing emotion but not dampening his or her perception of it. When a person is described as having flat affect, this does not always imply that that he or she does not experience emotion internally. Many schizophrenics identify feeling a roller coaster of emotions that they cannot turn outward, which often proves a source of great frustration. People with facial disorders may have no problem expressing themselves in words and gestures, and emotions may be apparent to those who know them well enough to recognize the modified emotional signifiers. While someone who has this condition may, in fact, not feel emotion, use of the term does not require this to be true. Many people who display flat affect, however, also feel dampened emotions. This may be the result of a decrease in feeling of pleasure, or an overall feeling of removal from the world."

"text": "\"Antigone's Flaw Patricia M. Lines * [From HUMANITAS, Volume XII, No. 1, 1999 © National Humanities Institute ]Some theorists define politics as who gets what, when and how. Alasdair Mac Intyre defines it as \"\"civil war carried on by other means.\"\" I prefer a more hopeful definition, and lean toward Michael Oakeshott’s definition as \"\"attending to arrangements.\"\" Or, Claes Ryn’s definition—\"\"the peaceful settlement of disputes\"\"—especially since Ryn correlates politics at its best with community. Such an emphasis would require the student of politics to examine not just who gets what, but how individuals arrange things, and how each takes into consideration the others who are trying to do the same. At the very least, the peaceful conduct of affairs would require some sort of agreement on the rules. To get that agreement without actual violence, participants might still use threats based on superior power (natural or supernatural), although eventually a challenge may require executing the threat. Peaceful arrangements could also depend on deceit, bribes, persuasion and an endless variety of human tricks. The goal is to obtain sufficient agreement among enough of the individuals subject to the arrangements to give the rules stability."

"text": "\"The Iliad v Troy A Comparsion Between The Epic Poem The Iliad And The Modern Film Troy The film Troy is a movie released in 2004 and was directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and has been influenced by the classical epic poem, The Iliad which has been credited of the Greek poet Homer. Both texts deal with the same subject, the siege of troy which was ended with the trickery of the wooden horse. However the characters themselves are shown with different actions between the two texts which revels different motives and thoughts. These differences are what are to be discussed today from within the film and the Iliad: Within the Iliad, the war upon Troy lasted for 10, presumably very long years before the wooden horse ploy was developed and put into play, this is very different from what the film Troy depicts, which only has the war last for 17 days before the walls of Troy are breached from within inside. This difference is pretty massive, however there is very likey a practical reason for this length difference, in that there is just too much time to cover over the entire film within three hours, others the film would have had to be split into multiple different parts which it is possible the directors wouldn’t have the budget to fund this massive project which would have been required over several films. The audience appeal would have very likely have diminished over the films, especially considering that there wasn’t always action occurring, such as during the nights with politics taking place. One of the major differences between the two texts is the role of the Greek Gods. Within the Iliad, the Gods take sides within the Trojan War and are seen fighting amongst the common soldiers. However, in the movie Troy the Gods are barely even mentioned, and are only mentioned when referred to when signs are received. This major difference could be the result of the massive cultural differences between the two time eras, the Iliad, when it was thought to have been written around 8 th century BC which would have the prime religion of the time, the Ancient Greek faith which has the 13 major gods on the pantheon."

"text": "\"The English Term Perfect: Biblical and Philosophical Tensions Dennis Bratcher The word \"\"perfect\"\" that we knock around so much in theological and biblical discussions is often misunderstood. We tend to apply an unqualified philosophical meaning to it and have it mean \"\"without flaw\"\" or \"\"without error\"\" or put it into other absolute categories. It then becomes easy to say that Jesus' command in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5:48), \"\"Be therefore perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect,\"\" is a laudable goal, but one that is impossible for human beings to achieve. That is even easier to do from certain doctrinal or theological positions that assume human beings cannot ever respond to God beyond their contaminated sinful nature (see Body and Soul ). The problem in this thinking is that the Hebrew word ( tam or tamim) does not carry the same meaning of \"\"without flaw\"\" in an absolute sense as does the term \"\"perfect\"\" in English. Tamim basically means complete or mature or healthy ( for example, Lev 22:21). There are some sacrificial passages in the Priestly codes that describe animals acceptable for sacrifice as tamim. Some might take this in an absolute sense as \"\"without flaw.\"\" However, the sense is really \"\"healthy\"\" in the sense of \"\"free from any mark or damage\"\" (BBE), or with \"\"no blemish\"\" (NRSV, KJV). In other words, it must be a healthy animal and not be lame or sick or one that has obvious deformities (note Mal 1:8, 13; compare similar regulations for priests in Lev 21:16-21)."

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. An issue that has continually created tension in today's society is whether the death penalty serves as a justified and valid form of punishment. According to the research that has been done, the death penalty should be abolished as it is an expensive, controversial form of revenge that targets the underprivileged and is applied inconsistently and unfairly. The death penalty is flawed in a number of ways;First of all there is a belief that the death penalty acts as a deterrent of future crimes by making an example out of the current criminals. However there is no evidence to prove this, in states where the death penalty has been abolished, the crime rate is usually the same as where the death penalty is still implemented. This is as often criminals rare under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or the perpetrator is not in rational control, or they are hit-men doing contract killings and typically never expect to be arrested, or psychopaths and other mentally ill individuals who have little regard for human life and who are unable to accept responsibility for their actions or the criminal commits crime on a spur of the moment and just doesn't have time to weigh their options. Even if capital punishment did act as a deterrent, is it acceptable for someone to pay for the predicted future crimes of others? Some people argue that one may as well punish innocent people; it will have the same effect."

There also is the chance of incorrectly labelling a person. Employers should be aware that there is no hard evidence that personality tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® test, are accurate measures of one's personality. Inaccurate test results could prevent someone from getting a job. Using personality tests to match a person with an occupation also is a flawed practice.

Why do I need to know about flu symptoms? Flu is an acute respiratory infection caused by a variety of flu viruses. It's important to understand flu symptoms so you can seek immediate treatment, especially if you have a chronic medical condition. The earlier you recognise that you have the flu can also make a difference in how long it lasts. Prescription medications called antiviral medication - zanamivir and oseltamivir - are most effective when given within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms. Oseltamivir can decrease the duration of the flu by up to a day, and zanamivir by less than a day, if used within this early time period. These antivirals are usually given for a period of 5 days."

However, for most people, food poisoning can resolve on its own with only patience and no treatment. How Long Does Food Poisoning Last? Most food poisoning cases last 1-2 days with the symptoms resolving on their own. If food poisoning lasts longer than that, one should seek medical help.

Here are the latest antiviral drug recommendations. After you read this, talk to your doctor to see if antiviral drugs can help you feel better. What Are Antiviral Drugs? Antiviral drugs are medicines that decrease the ability of flu viruses to reproduce. When used as directed, antiviral drugs may help reduce the duration of flu symptoms in otherwise healthy children and adults and may reduce the severity of common flu symptoms. When Are Antiviral Drugs Recommended? Antiviral drugs are recommended for both treatment and prevention of flu. Antiviral drugs work best when taken within 48 hours of onset of flu symptoms, but they may still offer benefits when taken later. These medications may reduce the duration of flu by one to two days and prevent severe flu complications."

Why do I need to know about flu symptoms? Flu is an acute respiratory infection caused by a variety of flu viruses. It's important to understand flu symptoms so you can seek immediate treatment, especially if you have a chronic medical condition. The earlier you recognise that you have the flu can also make a difference in how long it lasts. Prescription medications called antiviral medication - zanamivir and oseltamivir - are most effective when given within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms. Oseltamivir can decrease the duration of the flu by up to a day, and zanamivir by less than a day, if used within this early time period. These antivirals are usually given for a period of 5 days."

Influenza, often called the flu, is an infection of the upper airway caused by an influenza virus. Getting sick with influenza also puts you at risk of other infections. These include viral or bacterial pneumonia which affect the lungs. The risk of complications, which can be life-threatening, is greater for seniors 65 years and older, very young children, and people who have lung or heart diseases, certain chronic health conditions, or weakened immune systems. Healthy pregnant women in the second half of their pregnancy are at greater risk of being hospitalized following infection with influenza virus. In Canada, thousands of people are hospitalized and may die from influenza and its complications during years with widespread or epidemic influenza activity. How can influenza be prevented? You can reduce the risk of getting influenza or spreading it to others by:washing your hands regularly;promptly disposing of used tissues in the waste basket or garbage;coughing and sneezing into your shirt sleeve rather than your hands;staying home when you are ill; andgetting an influenza vaccine. Getting an influenza vaccine can help prevent you from getting sick with influenza and from spreading it to others."

A Deeper Look Into How the Flu Spreads By Kristina Duda, RN | Reviewed by Sanja Jelic, MDUpdated February 08, 2018Share Pin Email Print Illustration by Joshua Seong. © Verywell, 2018. If you have been exposed to someone with the flu, you may be concerned about catching it. You may also wonder how long it takes to get sick after you have been exposed and how long you are contagious when you have it. Flu Incubation Period The typical flu incubation period—the time between exposure and the start of symptoms—is between 24 hours and four days, with the average being two days. This means that if you are exposed to the influenza virus and become infected, you will start to experience flu symptoms anywhere between 24 hours and four days after the exposure. When Are You Contagious? Another factor that contributes to how the flu spreads is when exactly you may be contagious. Unlike many common illnesses that are only contagious when you're experiencing symptoms, the flu can be contagious 24 hours before your symptoms appear, so you're likely out there spreading the virus before you ever know that you have it."

But differentiating between a cold and influenza, at least initially, is not always easy. That's because the two can share a number of the same symptoms, including a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat and cough, says emergency medicine specialist Hans House of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Where they differ is in severity, says House, a board member with the American College of Emergency Physicians. Colds tend to be relatively mild and typically last only a few days, he says, \"\"and you can usually still function with a cold. \"\" When you have that high fever (102 degrees or more), and your whole body aches, and you can't even get off the couch because you're so miserable, that's probably the flu. \"\" Unlike colds, which tend to have a more gradual onset, the flu usually comes on more suddenly, adds Susan Rehm, medical director of the non-profit National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. That characteristic is one feature in the mnemonic device that she recommends for identifying the flu — FACTS ( fever, aches, chills, tiredness and sudden onset). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seasonal flu activity in the USA can begin as early as October and last as late as May, but it usually peaks in January or February."

Hamid Boulares, Alexander G. Yakovlev, Vessela Ivanova, Bogdan A. Stoica,Geping Wang, Sudha Iyer and Mark Smulson ‡+ Author Affiliations From the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, D. C. 20007Next Section Abstract An early transient burst of poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins was recently shown to be required for apoptosis to proceed in various cell lines (Simbulan-Rosenthal, C., Rosenthal, D., Iyer, S., Boulares, H., and Smulson, M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 13703–13712) followed by cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), catalyzed by caspase-3. This inactivation of PARP has been proposed to prevent depletion of NAD (a PARP substrate) and ATP, which are thought to be required for later events in apoptosis. The role of PARP cleavage in apoptosis has now been investigated in human osteosarcoma cells and PARP −/− fibroblasts stably transfected with a vector encoding a caspase-3-resistant PARP mutant. Expression of this mutant PARP increased the rate of staurosporine and tumor necrosis factor-α-induced apoptosis, at least in part by reducing the time interval required for the onset of caspase-3 activation and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, as well as the generation of 50-kilobase pair DNA breaks, thought to be associated with early chromatin unfolding. Overexpression of wild-type PARP in osteosarcoma cells also accelerated the apoptotic process, although not to the same extent as that apparent in cells expressing the mutant PARP. These effects of the mutant and wild-type enzymes might be due to the early and transient poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis in response to DNA breaks, and the accompanying depletion of NAD apparent in the transfected cells. The accelerated NAD depletion did not seem to interfere with the later stages of apoptosis. These results indicate that PARP activation and subsequent cleavage have active and complex roles in apoptosis."

C98Published Online: July 07, 2016First Page Full Text References Cited by PDF PDF Plus Yalow and Berson (1960) were the first to describe a technique that used antibody-mediated detection linked to a radioactive signal (i.e. radioimmunoassay). However, because of the health risks methods not involving radioactivity were sought. The discovery that certain enzyme-substrate combinations produced quantifiable colour changes led to a shift in immunodetection. Enzyme-substrate combinations that were linked to antibodies, which in turn could detect specific analytes, were developed ( Avrameas, 1969 ). In 1971, two independent research groups in Europe published papers that described the step-by-step process of performing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ( Engvall and Perlmann, 1971; Van Weemen and Schuurs, 1971 ). The ELISA method is used to detect and quantify a specific substance, usually an antigen, in a sample. The antigen is immobilized in a microplate well either directly or by a specific antibody known as a ‘capture antibody’. A ‘primary detection antibody’ is added, forming an antigen–antibody complex. The primary detection antibody is either directly labelled with an enzyme (i.e. direct ELISA) or is itself attached to a secondary antibody known as a ‘secondary detection antibody’ (i.e. indirect ELISA)."

"text": "What is a cuvette and how is it used? A cuvette (sample cell, absorption cell) is, in its basic level, fundamentally a test tube designed for use with optical analysis. Standard cuvettes are generally square or rectangular in cross section to avoid refraction artefacts. Depending on what part of the spectrum is under consideration, they may be made of quartz or optical glass although plastic cuvettes do exist for less demanding measurements. How To Use a Cuvette? This is a brief description on how to use a cuvette and will also help answer the question: What is a cuvette? Also if you would like more information about how to use a cuvette in different instruments such as Spectrometers, Spectrophotometers and Fluorometers then please feel free to contact us. A liquid sample is placed in the cuvette carefully to ensure that it is not over filled and the outside of the cuvette is kept clean. Then the cuvette is inserted into the instrument such as a Spectrometer or Fluorometer. The beams inside of the instrument can pass through the quartz/glass walls of the cuvette due to their optical purity and 'read' the sample."

How does the LC measure? The LC measures using the concept of triangulation. A laser diode shines a beam of light at the target. The light will diffuse off of the surface back toward the LC. This returning light is focused onto a Position Sensitive Device (PSD). The PSD measures the target distance by calculating the center of the returning spot. If the target moves away from the sensor, the returning spot will move toward one end of the PSD. If the target moves toward the sensor, the returning spot will move toward the other end of the PSD. The position of the spot is proportional to the distance to the target.2."

Since the labeled secondary antibody is directed against all antibodies of a given species, it can be used with a wide variety of primary antibodies. Different Stages Of Indirect ELISA: Coating ELISA Plates : Coating is achieved through passive adsorption of the antigen to the assay microplate. This process occurs though hydrophobic interactions between the micro titer plate and non-polar protein residues. Although individual proteins may require specific conditions or pretreatment for optimal binding, the most common method for coating plates involves adding a 2-10 μg/ml solution of protein dissolved in an alkaline buffer such as phosphate-buffered saline (ph 7.4) or carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (ph 9.4). The buffer contains no other proteins that might compete with the target antigen for attachment to the micro titer plate."

"text": "DNA yield can be assessed using various methods including absorbance (optical density), agarose gel electrophoresis, or use of fluorescent DNA-binding dyes. All three methods are convenient, but have varying requirements in terms of equipment needed, ease of use, and calculations to consider. Absorbance Methods The most common technique to determine DNA yield and purity is measurement of absorbance. Although it could be argued that fluorescence measurement is easier, absorbance measurement is simple, and requires commonly available laboratory equipment. All that is needed for the absorbance method is a spectrophotometer equipped with a UV lamp, UV-transparent cuvettes (depending on the instrument) and a solution of purified DNA. Absorbance readings are performed at 260nm (A 260) where DNA absorbs light most strongly, and the number generated allows one to estimate the concentration of the solution. To ensure the numbers are useful, the A 260 reading should be within the instrument's linear range (generally 0.1–1.0). DNA concentration is estimated by measuring the absorbance at 260nm, adjusting the A 260 measurement for turbidity (measured by absorbance at 320nm), multiplying by the dilution factor, and using the relationship that an A 260 of 1.0 = 50µg/ml pure ds DNA. Concentration (µg/ml) = (A 260 reading – A 320 reading) × dilution factor × 50µg/ml Total yield is obtained by multiplying the DNA concentration by the final total purified sample volume. DNA yield (µg) = DNA concentration × total sample volume (ml)However, DNA is not the only molecule that can absorb UV light at 260nm."

Go to: Abstract Epidemiologic studies have correlated elevated plasma fibrinogen (hyperfibrinogenemia) with risk of cardiovascular disease and arterial and venous thrombosis. However, it is unknown whether hyperfibrinogenemia is merely a biomarker of the proinflammatory disease state or is a causative mechanism in the etiology. We raised plasma fibrinogen levels in mice via intravenous infusion and induced thrombosis by ferric chloride application to the carotid artery (high shear) or saphenous vein (lower shear); hyperfibrinogenemia significantly shortened the time to occlusion in both models. Using immunohistochemistry, turbidity, confocal microscopy, and elastometry of clots produced in cell and tissue factor-initiated models of thrombosis, we show that hyperfibrinogenemia increased thrombus fibrin content, promoted faster fibrin formation, and increased fibrin network density, strength, and stability. Hyperfibrinogenemia also increased thrombus resistance to tenecteplase-induced thrombolysis in vivo. These data indicate that hyperfibrinogenemia directly promotes thrombosis and thrombolysis resistance and does so via enhanced fibrin formation and stability."

Fluorescent minerals emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet light. Biofluorescent marine organisms Willemite and calcite in UV light Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation. The most striking example of fluorescence occurs when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and thus invisible to the human eye, while the emitted light is in the visible region, which gives the fluorescent substance a distinct color that can only be seen when exposed to UV light. Fluorescent materials cease to glow nearly immediately when the radiation source stops, unlike phosphorescent materials, which continue to emit light for some time after. Fluorescence has many practical applications, including mineralogy, gemology, medicine, chemical sensors ( fluorescence spectroscopy ), fluorescent labelling, dyes, biological detectors, cosmic-ray detection, and, most commonly, fluorescent lamps. Fluorescence also occurs frequently in nature in some minerals and in various biological states in many branches of the animal kingdom."

Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, Anchorage, Alaska, USAb Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota, USAc USDA Agricultural Research Service, Marshfield, Wisconsin, USANext Section ABSTRACTThe principal mode of avian influenza A virus (AIV) transmission among wild birds is thought to occur via an indirect fecal-oral route, whereby individuals are exposed to virus from the environment through contact with virus-contaminated water. AIV can remain viable for an extended time in water; however, little is known regarding the influence of the biotic community (i.e., aquatic invertebrates) on virus persistence and infectivity in aquatic environments. We conducted laboratory experiments to investigate the ability of an aquatic filter-feeding invertebrate, Daphnia magna, to accumulate virus from AIV-dosed water under the hypothesis that they represent a potential vector of AIV to waterfowl hosts. We placed live daphnids in test tubes dosed with low-pathogenicity AIV (H3N8 subtype isolated from a wild duck) and sampled Daphnia tissue and the surrounding water using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-q PCR) at 3- to 120-min intervals for up to 960 min following dosing. Concentrations of viral RNA averaged 3 times higher in Daphnia tissue than the surrounding water shortly after viral exposure, but concentrations decreased exponentially through time for both. Extracts from Daphnia tissue were negative for AIV by cell culture, whereas AIV remained viable in water without Daphnia present. Our results suggest daphnids can accumulate AIV RNA and effectively remove virus particles from water. Although concentrations of viral RNA were consistently higher in Daphnia tissue than the water, additional research is needed on the time scale of AIV inactivation after Daphnia ingestion to fully elucidate Daphnia 's role as a potential vector of AIV infection to aquatic birds.

Fluorescence of certain rocks and other substances hadbeen observed for hundreds of years before its nature was understood. Fluoresecence also occurs in some living organisms; some coral, reef fish, jellyfish, and other marine species as well as suchterrestrial plants and animals as certain spiders and pitcher plants fluoresce. Probably the first to explain it was the British scientist Sir George G. Stokes, who named the phenomenon after fluorite, a strongly fluorescent mineral. Stokes is credited with the discovery (1852) that fluorescence can be induced in certain substances by stimulation with ultraviolet light. He formulated Stokes's law, whichstates that the wavelength of the fluorescent light is always greater than that of the excitingradiation, but exceptions to this law have been found."

While working on a caveman-themed game, one of Guyer’s team members began bouncing one of the game’s foam “rocks” over a net. The designers realized that they were onto something and began developing a whole line of games based on foam balls. Guyer initially took the game ideas to Milton Bradley, the company that had found a hit with his Twister invention. The game giant passed on Guyer’s creation, though. Undeterred, Guyer then pitched the foam games to Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers wasn’t crazy about the actual games, but they loved the idea of a foam ball that kids could safely play with indoors."

"text": "Garage Door Insulation Types, Benefits and Costs“Insulation is even more important if you use your garage for anything other than to store your cars. ”For most people, the garage door is often considered only in terms of its practical application and its outward appearance. Another important factor, however, is the impact of garage door insulation. Reflectix BP24050 24-Inch-by-50-Foot Bubble Pack Insulation While many people may have their home insulated without a second thought, they often do not even consider the garage. Climate control in the garage as well as noise reduction and savings on energy bills are three very significant benefits. Garage Door Insulation and Climate Control Houses without insulated garage doors could be losing a significant amount of heat from their home, increasing the cost of energy bills considerably. There is also a great benefit if you live in a warmer climate. Non-insulated garage doors allow heat to enter your home from outside and increase home air conditioning costs. Insulation is even more important if you use your garage for anything other than to store your cars. For example, if you use your garage as a home office, an area for your crafts or woodworking projects or you have a home gym or fitness area in your garage, a lack of insulation could make for a very uncomfortable environment."

"text": "So what does Spray Foam insulation cost? The cost of spray foam insulation is typically twice that of normal insulation. However, spray foam insulation may reduce the size of the HVAC system which would reduce the cost difference and in some cases make spray foam comparable. Advanced Insulation can work with your architect to design a foam home/building and can sometimes make suggestions that will offset the increased cost. Regardless Spray Foam insulation is an investment that keeps on giving. What would you do if your investment advisor called you and told you that he had a sure investment that would provide guaranteed returns? You would need to invest $5,000 one time and get a guaranteed return of $250 a month. Would you make that investment? Of course you would. Typical returns on investment from a new foam home/building are 2-5 years and 3-6 years for an existing home."

"text": "Cars & Transportation Boats & Boating Why do wooden boats sink?if wood floats and some boats are make only of wood, why do wooden boat sink? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: as a wooden boat builder and owner let me give this a shot...... first, there are few species of wood that I know of that will become waterlogged to the point they will sink. One or two ( greenheart down here in the West Indies) are so dense they sink,but that's another story. What sinks a wooden boats is that it has stuff other than wood in it...usually fuel and water tanks but mostly engines in power boats and ballast keels ( to keep it upright) in sailboats. My boat ( see avatar pic) weighs 11 tons, and 2 1/2 tons of that is a big ol' chunk of lead on the bottom. If not for that lead, she would never sink......of course without that lead,she'd float on her side!yankee_sailor · 8 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating The wooden parts only form a skin and perhaps the framing to hold it. While wood floats it doesn't have a lot more floatation available than for its own weight. And some timber is denser than water so won't float anyway (unlikely to use such timbers for boat-building!). The hull will still be holding a lot of mass such as ballast, fastenings, cargo, machinery etc. that will easily weigh more than the simple displacement of the raw timber should the hull become flooded."

Sea Foam Motor Treatment used in Crankcase Oil All Gasoline and Diesel, Rotary style engines Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a Blended Petroleum Product, NOT A CHEMICAL and is widely used as an old oil residue reducer and moisture drier in any oil crankcase. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre service, old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner / diagnostic tool, and moisture drier, and is also used as an after service additive. Sea Foam Motor Treatment does NOT add significantly to oil volume, so removing oil is NOT required for use, when used according to printed directions on the product container. 1. As a PRE SERVICE CLEANER for old oil residue, (sticky rings or valve train noise, diagnostics), pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of crankcase oil capacity including filter. ( Diesels use 1 pint Sea Foam to 4 gallons of oil, please.) Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 200 miles, (Diesels 1 hour drive/run time MINIMUM) and then do your oil change service (LOF). This is the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty."

Essentially the transducer and water temp/speedometer senders were creating a situation where they spraying water on the motor, enough to short out a ignition coil. One day of fishing saltwater off Washington's Westport created no problems, the best safe speed was 13MPH because the water was choppy enough that. And the next day was the same until we headed back to the boat basin, Now we had the milder waves and the wind was on the stern and the water was calmer. A speed of 20 MPH was then achieved. However after about 1/2 hour the 75 hp motor lost power on one of the 3 cylinders. It would sputter back onto the 3rd cylinder occasionally, then finally go back to running OK for 10 minutes or so, only to revert again back to missing for 20 minutes or so. The reduced speed was 9 MPH. We had about 10 total miles total to go including cross the bar before we could get to the boat basin. A cell phone call was made to the boat mechanic for reassurance that we could make it that far without creating damage to the motor."

What is the best way to clean this sludge from the engine? I understand flushing it with a solvent based product can possibly cause problems. Could repeated oil changes, say at 500 miles thoroughly clean the mess out of there? Tester 2008-02-03 22:43:53 UTC #2I’d put a half a can of Sea Foam Engine Treatment in the crankcase oil, drive it twenty miles or so, and change the oil and filter. Tester B. L.

A coolant leak can also cause this. I would do one oil change to get the comtaminated oil out of there and then do a long freeway trip to get the engine hot enough to evaporate any remaining water."

"text": "Car Parts > True Flow Shop True Flow Products Have you ever wondered why motorcycles and lawnmowers have foam air filters and most cars have paper filters? It is because motorcycles and lawnmowers work in harsher conditions compared to that of a car. These use foam filters because foam traps more dirt than the use paper filter without compromising better airflow. This is the reason that inspired True Flow designers to make a foam filter line of air filters. True Flow's line of air filters are foam filters that are made of reticulated foam that makes use of millions of tiny air cells in the foam, together with an emulsion product, to prevent dirt from getting into your intake system. This speaks of more mileage and a more efficient engine because it works on cleaner air. Unlike cotton and gauze filters, foam allows more air to go into your system. True Flow Air Filter's thick foam and larger surface area can suck up more dirt without clogging up dirt. Another advantage of having a True Flow Air Filter is that you don't have to throw them away when they're already dirty. All you need to do is give them a little rinse and they're good as new."

Forensic pathologists, sometimes referred to as medical examiners, are doctors who are trained and qualified to determine both the cause and manner of death of individuals who have died violently, suddenly or unexpectedly, based on an examination of the remains. More forensic pathologists retire each year than are qualified to take their places, creating excellent opportunities for candidates who are willing to complete the rigorous training required. Undergraduate The first postsecondary educational requirement for a candidate who wishes to pursue a career as a forensic pathologist is obtaining a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. There is no specific major field of study for pre-med students, but they must typically complete coursework in such subjects as biology, physics, chemistry, the humanities, mathematics, English and the social sciences, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Admittance to medical school is highly competitive, and candidates who hold leadership positions in campus organizations, participate in extracurricular activities and score well on the Medical College Admission Test should have the best opportunities for acceptance. Medical School All forensic pathologists are either medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy. Before a candidate can become a doctor, she must first complete medical school. Medical school typically requires four years. The first two involve mostly classroom studies and laboratory work in such subjects as anatomy, medical ethics, biochemistry, psychology, pharmacology and the legal side of practicing medicine."

Some possible job titles a pathologist might work under include a Pathology Laboratory Directory, Oral Pathologist, Forensic Pathologist, Dermatopathologist, Cytopathologist, Attending Pathologist, Associate Pathologist, or Anatomic Pathologist, just to name a few. The job of a pathologist involves a lot of detective work wherein the individual has to assess fluids and tissue samples and examine any patient related reports passed on by the patient’s primary care physician. In some instances, a pathologist will provide patients with treatment or care recommendations. Often, a pathologist can be found working alongside a doctor who handles post-mortem autopsies. Pathologists must create a full report of their findings following specimen analysis."

When the National Academy of Sciences released its 2009 report on death investigation in America, it estimated that fewer than 500 physicians nationwide were practicing forensic pathology full-time -- not nearly enough, the blue ribbon panel suggested, to meet the country's health or criminal justice needs. With roughly 500,000 deaths per year referred to a coroner or medical examiner for preliminary investigation, the National Association of Medical Examiners says twice that number of forensic pathologists is needed to provide competent service and ensure that pathologists are not performing more than the 250 to 350 autopsies per year its guidelines recommend.

According to the College of American Pathologists, forensic pathologists are experts in investigating and evaluating cases of sudden, unexpected, suspicious and violent death, as well as other specific classes of death defined by state laws. Most serve the public as a coroner or a medical examiner, or by performing autopsies for those officials. Others are in private practice, and may also work as contract pathologists on a fee-for-service basis. Why So Few?

"text": "\"Differences Between a Coroner and a Medical Examiner• Categorized under Health | Differences Between a Coroner and a Medical Examiner The terms “coroner” and “medical examiner” are often used interchangeably that not many people are aware of the differences between the two titles as well as their corresponding responsibilities. Coroner The coroner system is an old one, which dates back to 12th century England. ( 1) The position was originally known as “crowner,” (2) because a coroner is responsible for confirming the deaths in his jurisdiction as well as collecting the share of the Crown in the estate. The system was brought to North America in the 1600s. At present, a coroner’s job is to probe an unexpected or violent death due to suicide, poisoning, negligence, or accident. The inquest of a coroner is also a requisite in cases where a fatal disease constitutes a public health threat or a death occurs under suspicious circumstances or when the person was in the custody of the government. A coroner must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the state or region where he or she works, and must be of voting age. With usually a two- to four-year term, a coroner can be elected or appointed. While many coroners are qualified pathologists with several years of experience, a coroner does not necessarily need to be trained in forensic science. In fact, some counties do not require coroners to have even a medical background."

"text": "Anatomic pathology, also known as anatomical pathology, is a branch of the medical field which involves the examination of anatomical specimens to learn more about the processes of disease and death. Specialists in this field do everything from examining biopsy samples taken by surgeons to determine whether or not a growth is cancerous to examining the bodies of murder victims to determine the cause of death and collect evidence which could be used in investigation and prosecution. The term “pathology” translates into “the study of suffering,” and this medical discipline is focused on examining the nature, course, and resolution of disease. In order to become an anatomic pathologist, someone must attend medical school and complete a residency in general pathology, followed by a focus in anatomic pathology. The other main area of focus in the field of pathology is clinical pathology, in which samples of body fluids are examined in the laboratory. There are a number of subspecialties within the anatomic pathology field. For example, someone could focus on neuropathology, the examination of brain tissue, or cytopathology, the study of samples of cells. When a doctor takes a Pap smear from a woman, the examination of the tissue is often performed by a cytopathologist. Other specialties include molecular pathology, gynecological pathology, endocrine pathology, dermatopathology, cardiac pathology, osteopathology, and autopsy or forensic pathology. Ad The goal of a pathologist is to be able to examine an anatomical sample and to determine whether the sample is normal or abnormal, and if it is abnormal, to describe the abnormality."

"text": "Examine Your Stool Normally, an individual is able to defecate once or twice per day without straining. The stool should neither be too hard nor too soft, and should not have a foul odor. There also should be no pus, blood, mucus or undigested food in it. A TCM physician usually notes the frequency, form and color of the stool as well as the accompanying feelings during defecation. Nature of stool An offensive odor of stool pertains to heat accumulation. Dry, dark-brown stool means excessive heat is present in the large intestine. Loose stools with a fishy odor pertain to excessive cold in the intestines. Extremely dry and hard stool is often seen in a deficiency of blood or body fluids. Loose bowels with shapeless stool usually are due to deficiency cold in the spleen and stomach. Initial discharge of a hard stool and then discharge of a loose stool can be seen in dampness accumulation caused by a spleen deficiency."

"text": "Breastfeeding and Acidic Smell From Bowel Movementsby JESSICA LIETZ Aug. 16, 2013A breastfeeding mother often keeps a close eye on her baby’s bowel movements to help keep track of the baby’s milk intake. While most bowel movements from breastfed babies do not have a strong smell, an acidic smell from your baby’s stool could indicate a dietary sensitivity, or a more serious medical condition. Fortunately, most cases of acidic-smelling stools in breastfed babies are preventable and treatable with simple changes in your diet, or your baby’s. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Causes Unusual-smelling stools in your baby’s diaper often result from dietary causes. Sensitivity to lactose is a cause of foul-smelling stools in a breastfed baby, as the cow’s-milk proteins you consume are passed to your baby through your breast milk. Feeding your baby solids such as dairy products, or foods containing nuts, eggs or gluten also trigger sensitivities in some babies, leading to foul odors and other changes in bowel movements. Less commonly, medical problems with your baby’s digestive system such as malabsorption, Crohn’s disease or cystic fibrosis lead to acidic-smelling stools. Misconceptions A slightly acidic smell, such as that of sour milk, is the normal and expected odor of a breastfed baby’s stool, explains the North Dakota Department of Health website. For most nursing mothers, there is no reason to reduce the amount of foods you enjoy or eliminate anything in your usual diet. According to the Kelly Mom website, while cow’s milk proteins are the most common cause of food sensitivities and related foul-smelling stools, very few babies have actual milk allergies or intolerance."

"text": "Home Questions Asked Health Advice Home remedies for burp odor (Last Updated: Dec 6, 2007) Tweet Burping being a common condition most people wonder what causes burping. Burping is a natural way for the body to get rid of excess air that is swallowed from the mouth while eating, drinking, or smoking. Burping is considered socially embarrassing and is often accompanied with flatulence and other stomach problems like diarrhea and stomach upsets. Foul smelling burps, which are often also known as rotten egg burps and sulfur burps, are not caused simply by swallowing lots of air. When you have been burping a lot, and the burps smell really bad, it is because of an infection in the body or a problem in your digestive tract. Bacterial infections are usually associated with bad smelling burps. If the odor of your burping is like rotten eggs, there is a way to help you get over this. Drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent the bacteria from causing any kind of infections in the stomach. When you drink a lot of fluids every day, you can flush out the toxins in your body. Clear herbal teas, which are still warm, also inhibit the growth of pathogens in your body and prevent them from releasing gases in the body which may smell foul when they are expelled from the body in the form of burps."

Along with a change in color, black stool may also be tarry in texture and more foul-smelling, which is a clear signal of a serious underlying gastrointestinal problem. Causes of black tarry stool False melena: False melena is black tarry stool caused by food, supplements, medications, or minerals. Iron supplements can trigger false melena, along with foods that are blue, black, or green in color. Some examples of factors that can trigger false melena include black licorice, blueberries, iron supplements, lead, and bismuth. Melena: This is a result of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. Other causes of melena include bleeding ulcer, gastritis, esophageal varices, and Mallory-Weiss tear – this is a tear of the mucus membrane that connects the esophagus and stomach. Hematochezia: This is the passage of black tarry stool when bleeding is present in the parts of lower digestive tract, such as the colon, rectum, or anus. Other causes: Other causes of maroon or black-colored stool may result from anal fissures, cut-off blood supply to the intestines, polyps or cancer, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, infection of the intestines, and trauma or foreign bodies.

"text": "\"St. Patrick's Day\"\"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand\"\" -Traditional Irish Blessing Seeing Green Leprechauns, clovers, kissing the Blarney Stone, green Guinness, and corn beef and cabbage — it’s that time of year again — helloooooo St. Patrick’s Day. Not many of us know what St. Patrick’s Day is really about….besides drinking green beer all night long in college, I never stopped between rounds to ask anyone why St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated. After all, I wasn’t Irish…far from it, yet there I was downing my fourth pint sing my love to my native (ok, fine, adoptive) Ireland, with the rest of the bar. Oh, how I love my Emerald Isle. Don’t judge me; you know you did the same thing in college. So I ask you, what’s a leprechaun and what do they have to do with St. Patrick’s Day? And what’s the significance of a Shamrock? And more importantly, how did they make the beer green? ( A question I probably should have asked BEFORE I drank so much of it.) All I’m saying is if you’re going to celebrate a holiday as an honorary Irishmen for a night, you probably should have some background."

"text": "\"Seeds for Ground Cover Plants Important Note about starting Ground Cover Seeds: Ground Covers should be started as \"\"plugs\"\" inside in plug starting trays and then transplanted outside as plugs in order to establish a ground cover. You can use peat pots and peat pellets to start you plugs. You should not try to direct sow seeds outside, you will receive very poor results this way, and we will not warrant the seeds if this method is used, we will only warrant seeds if they are started as plugs. Find your zone using your zipcode at Garden Web's Zone Finder.6002 Dichondra repens This is a perennial ground cover plant which has a prostrate or creeping growth habit with circular leaves and entire margins that is grown from Dichondra seed. It grows very close to the ground, (usually not over 2 inches tall) and is a warm season fast growing ground cover. It is adapted to warmer climates, but will retain its striking green color during winter temperatures as low as 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit with only slight leaf browning. Dichondra has broad, almost circular leaves (looks similar to clover) and when mowed low establishes a thick dense carpet look. Dichondra is now used in many ground cover situations where normal grasses may not do as well. It has a bright green color and a very good feel underfoot. Dichondra is highly resistant to diseases and will grow in partial shade to full sun."

"text": "By Whitetail Institute Staff No doubt about it, the world of food plots has evolved tremendously. Gone are the days of people asking what a food plot is. Also gone is the question of whether food plots are a viable tool in habitat management and improvement. Over the past few years the questions our consultants are asked have shown a trend — today more than ever before, our field testers are asking questions that are much more advanced. One example of this is the relatively recent increase in the number of questions we receive about the uses of herbicides in the planting and maintenance of food plots. The Whitetail Institute, in keeping with its leadership role in the industry, introduced the first ever line of herbicides designed for food plots. Two years ago, Arrest (grass control) and Slay (broadleaf weed control) burst onto the market with incredible fan-fare. Even with the tremendous success of these two products, there is still little debate about what herbicide the Institute is asked about most of all — Roundup. Roundup, a Monsanto product, is a broad spectrum herbicide that for years has been well known to farmers, gardeners, homeowners and literally anyone with a green thumb. Roundup can be found at nearly every store that has anything to do with growing plants and is arguably the most widely used herbicide on the market."

"text": "\"Establishing White Clover in Lawns Contents Introduction Natural invasion versus seeding Clover species and type Spring is the best time to seed Amount of seed Distributing seed evenly Inoculant Fertilizers Light Mowing Flowering Persistence and Reseeding Bulk Seed and Professional Clover Care See also: The Clover Option ( on benefits of clover) Clover Lawns are Functional and Trendy Introduction This page offers some suggestions for establishing and maintaining white clover in lawns. They are based on formal experiments and observations that I and students working with me have conducted on clover in Nova Scotian pastures, [L25,V43] and Halifax turfs [L6, L7, L25], as well as on 'my \"\"backyard experience\"\". I have also collaborated with a local landscaping company in their development of an \"\" organic approach \"\", which for about 15 years now has included use of white clover. As noted elsewhere, the traditional turf industry and the various institutes and academic units conducting scientific studies related to turf regard white clover as a weed and are more concerned with getting rid of clover than with establishing it. While attitudes are changing, there is still a general sparcity of scientific information related to establishing and maintaining clover in lawns. On the other hand, there is a voluminous literature on the biology and ecology of white clover in pastures; the earlier literature is well summarized in a 1983 paper by R. Turkington and J. J. Burdon. [ V54] Of course you can't use herbicides if you want clover in the lawn and some other practices of conventional lawncare, e.g., heavy use of nitrogen fertilizer, are also incompatible with maintaining clover. So there is more - at least conceptually - to establishing and maintaining clover in a lawn than just seeding it. Fortunately, in practice it involves doing less, even far less than than is involved in conventional lawncare. That may seem counter-intuitive, but think about this: some of greenest, neatest lawns one can see are those around farm houses where the only management is mowing; farmers don't waste their valuable chemicals if they can help it and most scoff at the idea of applying them to lawns! -"

"text": "Guest Bartender Makes: A LIGHT IRISH CREAMI love a good creamy cocktail, but am not a huge fan of all of the calories that come with it. Thankfully, my long-time blogger friend, Danielle Thompson of Kitschy Digitals, is here to share a low cal Irish cream recipe with us! Here’s what she has to say about the drink: Around the holidays last year, I was wanting to make sure that I could splurge on sweets (since I have a major sweet tooth! ), but not overdo it. I also knew I’d be drinking lots of cocktails around this time (drink and be Merry, right?) and I knew those would be a lot of extra empty calories. So I opted for a low-fat, low-calorie version of my drink of choice, Irish Cream (adapted from this recipe) – and believe it or not, it is heavenly! I still love drinking it now, even after the holidays, and with St. Patrick’s Day coming up soon, it fits the theme.1 clean empty bottle with a secure lid to store your Irish Cream in the refrigerator1 1/3 cup Irish Whiskey (I used Bourbon because that is what we had around the house. If you want to be a purist, by all means, use Irish Whiskey! You can read an interesting post on the difference between Bourbon and Irish Whiskey here if interested. )"

What is not as well known is that his youngest daughter Anne (January 1, 1928 - February 6, 1948) had Down syndrome. Although public perception of the time was that children born with Down syndrome were a result of their parents alcoholism, venereal disease or overall degeneracy, the De Gaulles rejected this notion, choosing instead to raise Anne like their other two c ... hildren. Their personal life became very private and Anne was raised at home, not in an institution (as was common practice at the time)."

"text": "Hanakotoba, a Japanese secret language using flowers It is universally known that different flowers have different meanings in different cultures, that is why care should be taken when sending flowers or presenting someone with a bouquet. Still, there is the common expression, “say it with flowers” that has been used by a floral company that delivers worldwide as their slogan for a number of years. Sakura (cherry blossom) – Kind/gentle Indeed, for people who know the meaning behind each flower, it is an apt slogan. But not all people know the language of flowers. For the Japanese, who have been exposed to Buddhism and are naturally lovers of nature, flowers and their meanings are interwoven in the Japanese way of life. Flowers figure prominently in their costumes, in their daily lives, in art, including tattoo or irezumi, even in their legal documents such as passports and government seals. The Japanese have always been spiritual, and they carefully interconnect and associate the intricacies of living things and nature. The flower arrangement Japan is famous for is called Ikebana, which translates to “living flowers.” Others refer to it as kadō or “the way of flowers.” Ikebana is a beautiful art form that combines the beauty of nature, its natural elements as well as the beauty of the mind and the disposition of the one doing the flower arranging."

Compared to other nonruminant animals, the horse has a relatively small stomach, normal-sized small intestine and a large hind gut. This digestive arrangement makes the horse better suited to grazing continuously than to having one or two large meals a day. You invest a lot of care and appreciation in your horses, so it is wise to spend some time considering their primary diet -- forages. Left View of the Equine Digestive Anatomy The horse evolved over time to be efficient as a grazing animal thriving on forages. As we adapted the horse for colder climates, the horse was well-suited to thrive on hay and other conserved forages. Many pleasure horses on small acreages subsist on hay 365 days a year, and their only involvement with \"\"pasture\"\" is a place to exercise. ( Right) Forage should be the foundation of the horse’s diet. If necessary, a concentrate (grain mix) may be used to balance for energy and other nutrients required by the horse based on the horse’s classification and type of forage fed. Supplementation above forage and concentrates should only be done if the forage and concentrate portion of the ration still needs to be balanced to meet the vitamin, mineral and protein requirement of the horse."

As he hunts them, they attempt to locate his gold to vanquish him. The film was originally meant to be more of a straight horror film, but Davis injected humor into his role. Re-shoots also added increased gore to appeal to older audiences. It was the first film produced in-house by Trimark to be theatrically released and grossed $8.6 million in North America against a budget of less than $1 million. Reviews on release were negative and focused on the film's acting, humor, and directing, all of which were criticized; it has also been called Aniston's worst film."

"text": "Hyoid bone The hyoid bone is located between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. It is also at the base of the mandible, or lower jawbone. Unlike other bones within the skeleton, the hyoid does not feature any major points of articulation (joints) with other bones. The hyoid bone can be divided into three component parts: the body of the hyoid, the greater cornua, and the lesser cornua. The body of the hyoid is centrally located, while the cornua are on both sides. The lesser cornua are small conical projections oriented upwards. The greater cornua extends backwards from the body of the hyoid. Since cornua come in pairs, the greater and lesser cornua can be differentiated into left and right sections. This bone also provides a place of attachment for many muscles associated with the mouth's floor, as well as the larynx (voice box), pharynx (throat), and epiglottis (flap of tissue located at the top of the larynx). While the hyoid bone provides protection to these organs, it can be fractured if exposed to excessive forces."

"text": "Overview Background Lymphadenectomy is the surgical removal of one or more groups of lymph nodes. It is almost always performed as part of the surgical management of cancer. In the treatment of head and neck cancer, three areas must be addressed: the primary site, the neck, and sites of distant metastasis. Of these, disease in the neck is the least straightforward. Even when there is no clinical or radiologic evidence of disease in the neck, 20-30% of patients may still harbor occult metastasis. In particular, cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and supraglottis are the most likely sites to have neck disease at presentation. Neck disease reduces survival rates for head and neck cancers by half. Therefore, control of the neck is of utmost importance in the successful management of these cancers. There are two major modalities used to address the neck: surgical cervical lymphadenectomy with or without postoperative radiation therapy or radiation therapy in conjunction with chemotherapy. Surgery provides precise pathologic staging of the neck and can also provide definitive treatment."

In worse cases, you might get a concussion, fracture your skull, or receive a brain injury that leaves you impaired or kills you ( traumatic brain injuries account for nearly one third of injury-related deaths in the US). Good thing you’re not a woodpecker, then. The lives and livelihoods of these birds revolve around slamming their heads into things. Whether it wants to get at an insect hiding in bark, excavate a space to build a nest, claim a bit of territory, or attract a mate, the woodpecker has one simple solution: bang its head against a tree trunk at speeds reaching 13 to 15 miles per hour. In an average day, a woodpecker does this around 12,000 times, and yet they don’t seem to hurt themselves or be the least bit bothered by it. This is because, after millions of years of this type of behavior, they’ve evolved some specialized headgear to prevent injuries to their heads, brains, and eyes.

Recent research suggests Neanderthals became extinct about 40,000 years ago. [ 3] Earlier research had suggested a later date; the problem is the dating of the archaeological sites where their remains have been found.

In the Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) it is composed of cartilage (chondrocranium), but in most other vertebrates, the cartilage is replaced by bone ( endochondral or replacement bone ). The neurocranium is a specialized portion of the splanchnocranium and comes from neural crest cells and mesodermal mesenchyme. If we think of the entire skull as rectangular box, the bottom, back and sides of the box make up the neurocranium. The bones forming these regions are grouped as the occipitals, sphenoids and e thmoids. The cranial nerves punch through the sides of the box. Identify the bones of the neurocranium in the wolf skull provided, using the lab drawings, and table, and the painted skulls on demonstration. Note that these bones are endochondral (or replacement or nondermal) bones. They cannot be distinguished from dermal bone, since they differ only in embryonic origin. The neurocranium bones are painted black on the demonstration wolf and cat skulls."

The minimum temperature for producing a burn is about 44 o C for an exposure of about 5 to 6 hours or about 65 o C for two seconds are sufficient to produce burns. Varieties of Burns: The external appearances of burns vary according to the nature of the substance used to produce them. A highly heated solid body or a molten metal, when applied to the body for a very short time may produce only a blister and reddening corresponding in size and shape to the material used. It will cause destruction, or even charring of the parts, when kept in contact for sometime. The epidermis may be found blackened, dry, and wrinkled. The hair may be singed or distorted. Burns produced by flame may or may not produce vesication, but singeing of the hair and blackening of the skin are always present. Hair singed by the flame becomes curled, twisted, blackish, breaks off or is totally destroyed. Roasted patches of skin or deeper parts may be seen."

"text": "Spinal fractures Overview Spinal fractures are different than a broken arm or leg. A fracture or dislocation of a vertebra can cause bone fragments to pinch and damage the spinal nerves or spinal cord. Most spinal fractures occur from car accidents, falls, gunshot, or sports. Injuries can range from relatively mild ligament and muscle strains, to fractures and dislocations of the bony vertebrae, to debilitating spinal cord damage. Depending on how severe your injury is, you may experience pain, difficulty walking, or be unable to move your arms or legs (paralysis). Many fractures heal with conservative treatment; however severe fractures may require surgery to realign the bones. Spinal column and spinal cord To understand spinal fractures, it is helpful to understand how your spine works (see Anatomy of the Spine ). Your spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae that provide the main support for your body, allowing you to stand upright, bend, and twist. In the middle of each vertebra is a hollow space called the spinal canal, which provides a protective space for the spinal cord (Fig. 1)."

"text": "\"A Patient's Guide to Thoracic Compression Fractures Introduction The bones, or vertebrae, that make up your spine are very strong, but sometimes a vertebra can fracture - just like any other bone in your body. Vertebra fractures are usually due to conditions such as: osteoporosis (a condition which weakens the bones), a very hard fall, excessive pressure, or some kind of physical injury. When a bone in the spine collapses, it is called a vertebral compression fracture. These fractures happen most commonly in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine), particularly in the lower vertebra of the thoracic spine. The purpose of this information is to help you understand: The anatomy of the spine relating to compression fractures The causes and symptoms of compression fractures How the condition is diagnosed The treatments available for the condition Some complications associated with compression fractures Anatomy To best understand lumbar spine injuries, it helps to know some anatomy of the overall spine. Please review the document, entitled: Anatomy and Function of the Spine Compression fractures of the spine usually occur at the bottom part of the thoracic spine (T11 and T12) and the first vertebra of the lumbar spine (L1). Compression fractures of the spine generally occur from too much pressure on the vertebral body. This usually results from a combination of bending forward and downward pressure on the spine. For example, falling from a chair in a sitting position on the floor usually causes your head to go forward at the same time your buttocks hit the floor. This causes the spine to bend forward concentrating the pressure on the front part of the spine - the vertebral bodies."

"text": "\"In spondylolisthesis, one of the bones in your spine — called a vertebra — slips forward and out of place. This may occur anywhere along the spine, but is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine). In some people, this causes no symptoms at all. Others may have back and leg pain that ranges from mild to severe. Understanding how your spine works can help you better understand spondylolisthesis. Learn more about spine anatomy at Spine Basics. Types of Spondylolisthesis Many types of spondylolisthesis can affect adults. The two most common types are degenerative and spondylolytic. There are other less common types of spondylolisthesis, such as slippage caused by a recent, severe fracture or a tumor. Degenerative Spondylolisthesis As we age, general wear and tear causes changes in the spine."

I suffered with a shattered left collarbone, (comminuted fracture), laceration of scalp, and had a lot of soft tissue damage. This happened 16 months ago, and I still have a non-union fracture. The drs wanted to wait to see if it would heal on it's own due to the fact that the main artery that supplies the rest of your body with blood is right at the fracture sight. It was too risky. I have since been on a bone stimulator, had to have arthroscopic surgery for adhesive capsulitis, (frozen shoulder), and have constant pain in my neck. My head was twisted in a weird way when I fell.

Spondylolysis is a crack or stress fracture in one of the vertebrae, the small bones that make up the spinal column. The injury most often occurs in children and adolescents who participate in sports that involve repeated stress on the lower back, such as gymnastics, football, and weight lifting. In some cases, the stress fracture weakens the bone so much that it is unable to maintain its proper position in the spine—and the vertebra starts to shift or slip out of place. This condition is called spondylolisthesis. For most patients with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis, back pain and other symptoms will improve with conservative treatment. This always begins with a period of rest from sports and other strenuous activities. Patients who have persistent back pain or severe slippage of a vertebra, however, may need surgery to relieve their symptoms and allow a return to sports and activities. Anatomy Your spine is made up of 24 small rectangular-shaped bones, called vertebrae, which are stacked on top of one another. These bones connect to create a canal that protects the spinal cord."

Your doctor can help you figure that out, but here are some common causes. Upper back pain involves your upper and middle back (thoracic spine). The causes widely vary and may include poor posture or injury from minor trauma (eg, car accident).1. Poor posture: Sitting with a rounded back, shoulders hunched forward, can put too much stress on the back muscles. Poor posture is one of the leading causes of upper back pain because so many office workers spend their work days at the computer. It's easy to fall into bad habits of not sitting properly, especially when you're at your desk for so many hours a day.2.

"text": "SPINAL CORD INJURIESI. WHAT IS THE SPINAL CORD? The spinal cord is an extension of the brain running down the body and stretching from the base of the scull in adults up to about the level of the first lumbar vertebrae. The main function of the spinal cord is to relay messages from the brain to the rest of the body and to carry information from the rest of the body back up to the brain where the messages are interpreted. The best analogy one can use to describe the spinal cord is that of a very intricate telephone wire. Any damage to this telephone wire causes messages not to be relayed and thus information cannot get from the periphery or from the rest of the body to the brain and the brain does not have control of functions below where the level of injury is and thus paralysis ensues. The spinal cord is a very important structure in the body and thus is protected by the vertebrae which are stacked on top of one another. The vertebral column is classically divided into various levels. There is 7 neck or cervical vertebrae, 12 chest vertebrae or thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae or lower back vertebrae and then there is 5 sacral vertebrae which are fused together to form one solid bone called the sacrum and then 4 coccygeal vertebrae again which is fused together to form the coccyx. Between each vertebra there is a disc that allows some movement between the different bones of the back bone."

Improvement usually begins almost immediately, although it can take several days or longer. The complication rate is very low, 1% or less. Kyphoplasty is a treatment for patients immobilized by the painful vertebral body compression fractures (VCFs) associated with osteoporosis or cancer. Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can reduce compression fracture pain by a moderate to significant amount and additionally may stabilize the fracture, restore height and reduce deformity. How is Kyphoplasty Performed? Kyphoplasty is performed under conscious sedation (IV “twilight sleep”), or Monitored Anesthesia Care. Only rarely is general anesthesia needed. Using image guidance x-rays, two tiny incisions are made and a probe is placed into the vertebra where the fracture is located. A balloon, called a bone tamp, is inserted on each side."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Different types of indel mutation. Panel C is simply a deletion and not a frameshift mutation. A frameshift mutation (also called a framing error or a reading frame shift) is a genetic mutation caused by indels ( insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three. Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion can change the reading frame (the grouping of the codons), resulting in a completely different translation from the original. The earlier in the sequence the deletion or insertion occurs, the more altered the protein. [ 1] A frameshift mutation is not the same as a single-nucleotide polymorphism in which a nucleotide is replaced, rather than inserted or deleted. A frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon (\"\"UAA\"\", \"\"UGA\"\" or \"\"UAG\"\") encountered in the sequence. The polypeptide being created could be abnormally short or abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional. Frameshift mutations are apparent in severe genetic diseases such as Tay–Sachs disease; they increase susceptibility to certain cancers and classes of familial hypercholesterolaemia; in 1997, [2] a frameshift mutation was linked to resistance to infection by the HIV retrovirus."

"text": "frameshift mutation / frame-shift mutation; frameshift A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read. A DNA sequence is a chain of many smaller molecules called nucleotides. DNA (or RNA) nucleotide sequences are read three nucleotides at a time in units called codons, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal. During translation, the sequence of codons is read in order from the nucleotide sequence to synthesize a chain of amino acids and form a protein. Frameshift mutations arise when the normal sequence of codons is disrupted by the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides, provided that the number of nucleotides added or removed is not a multiple of three. For instance, if just one nucleotide is deleted from the sequence, then all of the codons including and after the mutation will have a disrupted reading frame. This can result in the incorporation of many incorrect amino acids into the protein. In contrast, if three nucleotides are inserted or deleted, there will be no shift in the codon reading frame; however, there will be either one extra or one missing amino acid in the final protein. Therefore, frameshift mutations result in abnormal protein products with an incorrect amino acid sequence that can be either longer or shorter than the normal protein."

"text": "Chapter 4Genes and Their Evolution: Population Genetics Clark Larsen Answers Students FAQs1. Question: What is the Hardy-Weinberg law of equilibrium and how is it used? Response: Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg created a mathematical equation used to test whether genes in a population are being affected by one of the four forces of evolution. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a model for an ideal set of conditions in which a gene is in a state of equilibrium. There is no mutation, natural selection, gene flow, or genetic drift occurring. If these conditions are met, then the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies will remain constant from one generation to the next. If these conditions are not met, and a gene is not in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will change from one generation to the next. A gene that is not in equilibrium is likely being impacted by mutation, natural selection, gene flow, or genetic drift. See Table 4.1 Punnett Square for H-W law of equilibrium2.

How can a frameshift mutation change a protein? In this lesson, learn about the codon reading frame and how frameshift mutations cause serious problems for polypeptide formation. Review of Mutation Types We already know that point mutations can cause changes to an organism. A mutation in DNA alters the m RNA code, which in turn can change what kind of protein is produced. Earlier we saw the effects of base substitutions. We used the example of the pink-winged pony to describe these effects. A missense mutation makes a slight change to a protein, a nonsense mutation blocks a protein's production, and a silent mutation does not affect the protein at all. These three different effects are all caused by base substitutions."

Source (s): School. Aaron · 8 years ago0 0 Comment The DNA sequence of a gene can be altered in a number of ways. Gene mutations have varying effects on health, depending on where they occur and whether they alter the function of essential proteins. The types of mutations include: Missense mutation This type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. Nonsense mutation A nonsense mutation is also a change in one DNA base pair. Instead of substituting one amino acid for another, however, the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein. This type of mutation results in a shortened protein that may function improperly or not at all. Insertion An insertion changes the number of DNA bases in a gene by adding a piece of DNA."

These sets are called codons. If you insert a letter into the DNA, it will mess up the m RNA sequence by changing the identity of the codons.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Three genes responsible for color vision lie in the rod cells of the retina and were discovered by Jeremy Nathans at Stanford during his graduate work in the laboratory of Lubert Stryer. Other genes responsible for affecting color vision include CNGA3 and CNGB3 and GNAT2. Nathans found that the DNA sequences of the genes for red and green receptors differ by only 2 percent—evidence of their common origin and recent divergence. Here was the explanation for the prevalence of color blindness, he realized. Because the DNA sequences of the red and green receptor genes are so similar, and because they lie head to tail, it is easy for mistakes to occur during the development of egg and sperm, as genetic material is replicated and exchanged between chromosomes. For the colors red and green, One X chromosome may receive an extra green receptor gene, for instance, or maybe even two. This does no harm. But then the other chromosome with which it is exchanging bits of genetic information is left with only a red receptor gene. The man who inherits this slightly truncated chromosome will be color-blind, bereft of the genetic information needed to make a green receptor."

DNA). We are going to spend some time talking about how mutations can occur and what their consequences may be to cells; we will also be looking at the ways in which cells avoid mutations by repairing DNA damage. Why this focus? Why are mutations important? There are several reasons: 1) they may have deleterious or (rarely) advantageous consequences to an organism (or its descendants); 2) they are important to geneticists: the most common way we study something is to break it--ie., we search for or make a variant (mutant) lacking the ability to perform a process which we want to study.

Because the genetic code is read in triplets, addition or subtraction of 1 or 2 nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame. Incorrect amino acids are inserted and often premature termination occurs when an nonsense codon is read. Frameshifts therefore cause, in general, very severe phenotypic effects. Addition or subtraction of 3 nucleotides does not generally cause a mutation because the reading frame is not shifted. An extra amino acid is inserted or removed but this does not usually lead to perturbed protein structure.

Answer If the deletion occurs in a section where the DNA encodes for a protein, it will cause what is called a \"\"frame shift\"\". Each amino acid is encoded by a DNA codon which is made up of 3 nucleotides. By deleting a nucleotide (base) the codons are no longer read properly. As such, the subsequent protein is now made with the wrong amino acids. If this protein is critical to cell survival it can lead to cell death. There are also regions of DNA that control protein expression which if mutated by a base deletion will cause misregulation of protein expression."

For example, certain environmental agent will change the structure of Guanine base so that it has the shape like Adenine. Thus, during the DNA replication, that “Guanine base” can no longer bind to Cytosine, instead, because it has a shape of Adenine, it will bind to Thymine. Breaking the Phosphate backbone: Environmental agents can also break phosphodiester bonds between oxygen and phosphate groups. By breaking the phosphate backbone of DNA within a gene, a mutated form of that gene could form. And this mutated gene might results in a mutated protein that functions differently, and might cause protein misfolding diseases. However, cells usually attempt to fix the broken dens of DNA by joining free ends to other DNA fragments in the cell. This creates “translocation,” another kind of mutation.

This demonstrated that the coding unit is 3 nucleotides. The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called acodon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An illustration of an insertion at chromosome level In genetics, an insertion (also called an insertion mutation) is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence. This can often happen in microsatellite regions due to the DNA polymerase slipping. Insertions can be anywhere in size from one base pair incorrectly inserted into a DNA sequence to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. The mechanism of the smallest single base insertion mutations is believed to be through base-pair separation between the template and primer strands followed by non-neighbor base stacking, which can occur locally within the DNA polymerase active site. [ 1] On a chromosome level, an insertion refers to the insertion of a larger sequence into a chromosome. This can happen due to unequal crossover during meiosis. N region addition is the addition of non-coded nucleotides during recombination by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. P nucleotide insertion is the insertion of palindromic sequences encoded by the ends of the recombining gene segments. Trinucleotide repeats are classified as insertion mutations [2] [3] and sometimes as a separate class of mutations.

Flag How does a small change in the DNA of a single gene affect a protein? Edit Answer by Hanbert Confidence votes 7.5KA small change (mutation) in the DNA of a single gene can have negligible to debilitating effects on the protein product from that gene. Small mutations include point mutations, insertions and deletions. Point mutation can be silent (the mutation does not affect the amino acid sequence due to redundancies in the genetic code, e.g. CUG and CUA both code for leucine), synonymous (the mutation changes a single amino acid but the new amino acid is of the same category as the original amino acid, e.g. leucine -> valine, both hydrophobic), non-synonymous (the mutation changes a single amino acid but the amino acid is of a different category as the original amino acid, e.g. leucine (hydrophobic) -> aspartic acid (acidic)), or non-sensical (the mutation changes a single amino acid but the new codon is a stop codon rather than another amino acid, e.g. Tyrosin (UAC) -> STOP (UAA)). Of these point mutations, a non-sense mutation is the most serious since a stop codon result in a large chunk of the gene not being translated and therefore a truncated protein. The insertion and deletion mutations are even more serious. These mutations insert or delete a base from DNA, resulting in frameshift mutations. Frameshift mutations occur since DNA is always read in 3-letter codons and the insertion or deletion of a single base will shift the downstream sequence down or up by a base, resulting in complete jargon for the rest of the gene.

"text": "Customs brokers earn the most in east and west coast states. Approximately 11,000 licensed customs brokers worked in the United States as of 2013, according to the U. S. Customs and Border Protection agency. Corporations, government agencies and independent brokerage companies depend on customs brokers to ensure products entering and exiting the United States comply with federal regulations. They also calculate tariffs, or rates of duty, for importers and exporters, classify goods and commodities and ensure proper documentation is completed and processed. Customs brokers' salaries vary by geographic area or industry. Salary and Qualifications The average annual salary for a customs broker was $50,000 as of 2013, according to Indeed. To become a customs broker, you need at least a high school diploma or GED. You will then need to pass the Customs Broker License Examination through the U. S. Customs and Border Protection agency, or CBP, by getting a minimum score of 75 percent. Some employers may prefer that you have two or more years of experience as a customs broker. Other essential requirements are math, organizational, bookkeeping, computer and customer service skills."

Freight brokerage businesses are licensed as property brokers by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, part of the U. S. Department of Transportation, so starting a brokerage requires this license above and beyond any necessary training or business permits. USDOT Number Before you can start a freight brokerage business you must first apply for a USDOT number with the Department of Transportation. Though not specifically required to become a freight broker, the USDOT number is required when filling out the application to become a broker through the FMCSA. Broker Authority Broker authority is a license provided by the FMCSA authorizing individuals or companies to act as freight brokers. Broker authority is applied for by filling out MFCSA form OP-1 and selecting the \"\"broker of property\"\" option. Form OP-1 requires individual or company contact information, the company name filed on a doing business as form (if applicable), and the applicant's USDOT number. A $300 fee must accompany the application. Surety Bond Or Trust Fund A surety bond or trust fund acts as insurance to guarantee that the shipping companies will be paid for their cargo space. If the shipper does not pay for the shipping service, the freight brokerage must absorb the cost; should they not be able to, the bond company or trust fund will cover the expense."

If YES, here are 50 best lucrative small business ideas you can start as a middleman or broker in 2018. The best way to explanation of what a middleman business is that it is a business where you bring two opposing people together. The two different sets of people need each other and a middleman business puts them together. Many new and valuable startups don’t really make anything. Instead of cutting out middlemen, they’ve become them, connecting people with specific genres of services or merchants. Successful examples of this include transportation providers Uber and Lyft, and travel rental startup Airbnb. They have all raised huge amounts of money and spawned numerous copycats. The companies that do it well have two major things in common; they use human input to better serve a narrow market, and actively steer clear of anything that you can’t do in minutes on a smartphone. Whether it’s through intuitive ratings, manually curating products, treating suppliers well, or instantly responding when something goes wrong, successful middlemen use their staff and users to make markets work better."

"text": "A freight agent is someone who coordinates shipments of freight. Freight agents can work under the supervision of a freight broker or freight firm, or they can be employed as freelancers, applying their skills as needed to various shipping situations. No special training or education is required to become a freight agent, with most people learning on the job, although short courses covering basic topics are available, and people who are interested in ultimately becoming freight brokers may want to consider pursuing business degrees so that they can run freight businesses successfully. When a freight agent is approached and asked to handle a load, the agent gets information about the load, and makes a determination about which shipping method would be most effective. Some agents specialize in specific types of transport, such as train, truck, or boat shipments. The freight agent makes arrangements for transport, including special arrangements such as refrigeration or storage in a totally dry environment if these are required. Freight agents collect the fees for shipping, and they also handle issues such as customs documentation and appropriate licensing. They can provide real time information about the progress of a shipment for their customers, and some have provided their customers with online interfaces which can be used to monitor progress without talking directly to the agent or broker. Freight agents also handle issues such as delays in shipping, the transfer of goods to different shipping companies, the arrangement of container loads, and expediting of freight items to ensure that they arrive on time. This job requires a lot of people skills, as freight agents need to be able to talk to customers successfully and to negotiate the best terms from freight carriers."

"text": "\"Difference Between Freight Forwarder and NVOCC• Categorized under Business, Product & Services | Difference Between Freight Forwarder and NVOCCFreight Forwarder vs NVOCCFreight forwarders and NVOCCs (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) are two entities that have become virtually synonymous over the years. The primary reason for this is business expansion that led many companies to function as both a freight forwarder and a NVOCC. Strictly speaking, there are distinct differences between freight forwarders and NVOCCs; the biggest one is how they act in relation to the cargo. An NVOCC acts as the carrier of the cargo being sent. In comparison, a freight forwarder doesn’t act as a carrier. A freight forwarder only acts in the behalf of the owner of the cargo to facilitate the passage of the cargo from the point of origin to the destination. They contract carriers to pick the cargo up, board it on a ship or a plane, then another carrier to pick it up at the port; along with the entailing paperwork and documentation. You can easily discern this by the fact that freight forwarders do not issue a bill of lading while NVOCCs do. A bill of lading is also known as a contract of carriage and is a legal document that binds both parties to the terms agreed upon. A bill of lading is important as it holds the NVOCC liable if and when the cargo becomes lost or damaged while in transit where compensation is often necessary."

Although freight brokers don’t own logistics equipment and trucks, their role is, in all honesty, an essential one for the logistics business, and also for the economy, in general. Even in times of economic crisis, goods need to be transported, so freight brokers have to adapt to varying conditions.

David Noah | March 16, 2017 | Automated Export System (AES) , Export Basics Print this article: A routed export transaction occurs when the foreign buyer of the goods contracts with a freight forwarder or other agent to export the merchandise from the United States. This is in contrast to a standard export transaction in which the seller of the goods arranges the transport of the merchandise out of the country. Why is this important? Because it impacts who is required to file the electronic export information (EEI) through the Automated Export System (AES) when required by the U. S. Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR). When to File the EEI through AESDirect The FTR require that the export information for most exports from the U. S. must be filed through AESDirect on the Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) portal. This requirement applies to exports valued at more than $2,500 per Schedule B or Harmonized Tariff Schedule commodity classification except for shipments to Canada.

Federal, state and local government agencies require business owners in their respective industries to purchase license and permit bonds before they can be issued a license. The terms “license bonds” and “permit bonds” are often used interchangeably to refer to this general type of surety bond. A license and permit bond protects consumers by guaranteeing businesses will adhere to laws and other regulations enforced by federal, state and local government agencies. Each license bond is distinct to one particular industry, and protects consumers and/or the state from any potential damages. License bonds offer protection to governments and consumers from fraudulent practices carried out by the business being bonded. Businesses across several industries are required to obtain a license and permit surety bond before they are authorized to open their doors for business. How Much Does a License and Permit Bond Cost?

Organic Chemical Compounds in Cacao Beans and Organic Dark Chocolate It is important to understand that most of the scientific research on the cacao bean refers to organic cacao in its raw, unprocessed, and unadulterated form. Note that when the cacao beans are processed by roasting or heating, there will be a loss of some of the nutrient value, and treating the cocao with alkaline salts in the Dutch process will reduce the concentration of flavanols and reduce its high antioxidant value. So the levels of active nutrients and the health benefits discussed below may be not be fully applicable to all of the many kinds of commercially processed dark chocolate products marketed today. So don't expect that eating ANY type of chocolate bar or chocolate candy is going to be good for your health. You need to know WHICH KINDS of chocolate actually provide the health benefits - and that will usually be the kinds of COCOA POWDER and DARK CHOCOLATE which are closer to the raw cocoa bean, undergo the least amount of processing, and have the least unhealthy additives like saturated fats and refined sugar. In general, the healthiest kinds of chocolate (in order) are:raw, organic, unprocessed cacao beans (called \"\"nibs\"\") or cocoa mass; organic and unroasted cocoa powder not treated with alkalis; organic dark chocolate with the highest percentage of cocoa liquor or cocoa powder and the lowest percentage of refined sugar (bitter or semi-sweet dark chocolate). Organically-grown cacao beans will not contain pesticide residues.

In fact, all grains have been cultivated for thousands of years – barley for over 9,000 years and corn (maize) for roughly the same length of time. So what are the distinguishing characteristics that make some grains mysterious and ‘new’ enough to be classified as ‘Ancient’? UNTOUCHED BY TIMEEveryone, from growers to processors to bakers, has a slightly different definition of Ancient Grains, but botanists and herbalists use the term to describe those grains or seeds that remain true to their original genetic form – they are virtually untouched by plant science. In other words, they have not been bred to be easier to grow, harvest, process and refine; to increase yield; or to have favourable commercial baking characteristics. The ancient grains have retained the original nutty flavour and al dente texture along with their genetic pedigree. They are significant because they offer taste and nutrition while providing alternatives for people who suffer from allergies to more common grains, that is, people with wheat allergies. They supply a different range of nutrients than the modern varieties of wheat, corn, and rice most often refined and stripped of vital nutrients. For adventurous cooks, ancient grains enliven vegetarian and vegan dishes."

First, the body has been taxed from being loaded with poisons that kill the cancer cells and many of the healthy cells as well. Secondly, the flora in the gut have been destroyed so you’re not able to digest your food properly. There is an amazing world of microorganisms that live in your intestines working hard to fight pathogens and digest your food while delivering nutrients to the blood. When these healthy bacteria get killed off there is nothing to do the work of feeding the body. This is devastating to your health. Therefore, the idea is to restore balance in the gut by recreating an environment where healthy probiotics (aka the good bacteria) can thrive. Detoxification is also important to remove the garbage from the system so that the body’s natural flow of energy can be released. Cleaning up after cancer can save your life − especially if you have a lot of tumor debris flooding the liver."

"text": "Side Effects of the Acai Resveratrol & Pomegranateby ANDREW BENNETT Oct. 03, 2017Acai, resveratrol and pomegranate are three of the healthiest supplements available because they are high in free radical-fighting antioxidants. Acai berries come from the Brazilian rain forest and are one of the healthiest whole foods on Earth. Pomegranates are native to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant extracted from red wine grapes and Japanese knotweed plant. All three may have many benefits for heart health, anti-aging and overall wellness. Acai, resveratrol and pomegrante have few known side effects. However, hunger suppression, detoxification, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, and/or drug interaction side effects may occur.

Full Bio Between work, meetings, cleaning, working out, and trying to have a life on top of all that, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a little worn out. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some way you could get the energy you need to power through your day without those nasty caffeine-induced side effects? It turns out there are many healthy drinks that can boost your energy levels without caffeine—a drug that has been linked to insomnia, migraine headaches from withdrawal, and even cardiac arrest. Below are some options to consider when you want to get your energy levels up the safe and healthy way.1. B Vitamins While B vitamins won’t give you a kick like caffeine, they are essential for your body to produce energy. Vitamin B-12, along with others in the B-vitamin complex, helps the metabolic functions in the body. Adults should be getting around 2.4 micrograms of vitamin B-12 daily and many natural energy drinks provide more than enough to keep your body running smoothly.2. Kvass A popular drink in Russia and Eastern Europe for hundreds of years, this fermented drink is a healthy way to get your energy levels up without using caffeine. Kvass is created through the natural fermentation of wheat, rye or barley and has a similar taste to beer."

And why are famous people like Rachael Ray and NBC’s Matt Lauer talking about it? The health giving and nutrient rich properties of acai berries have long been known in the Amazon River area, but have been kept secret from most of the world. In fact, the fierce Yanomami Indians who live deep in the Amazon jungle have been eating acai berries for centuries, using their potent power for survival, health and well being. These berries, packed with vitamins and minerals, are native to Central and South America. They are a close relative of the blueberry, cranberry and other purple fruits. But what actually sets them apart from these mineral rich and nutrient fruits? And why does Dr. Nicholas Perricone name the acai as his # 1 Superfood in his book The Perricone Promise? What Does It Take to Be a Superfood and the Ultimate Antioxidant?

"text": "THE BLOG 05/25/2010 02:30 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017XXX Vitamin Water: Marketing a Myth By Hemi Weingarten Ever-enterprising beverage marketers will persuade normally rational people to buy colored sugar water for personal consumption, convincing them that said liquid is gloriously rich in health benefits and in some cases also uber-hip. Vitamin Water XXX is a classic example. Named for its “triple antioxidants” formula of acai, blueberry, and pomegranate flavors, the xxx signage has additional connotations. Never mind that this “water” contains no juice,it has the power of triple antioxidants to help keep you healthy and fight free radicals ... and it has never been seen live or nude, but it is definitely au naturel. Oh, by the way: Contains less than 1% juice. Unfortunately for consumers who ignore this marketing drivel, the marketing efforts continue into the last bastion of FDA regulated information — the nutrition facts panel and the ingredient list — hoping to gain more and more sympathy points for products nobody really needs. This is what the ingredient list should read:water, sugar, colors, needless vitamins & minerals Here is the actual ingredient list: Reverse Osmosis Water, Cane Sugar, Crystalline Fructose, Citric Acid, Vegetable Juice (Color), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Natural Flavor, Berry and Fruit Extracts (Acai, Blueberry, Pomegranate and Apple), Magnesium Mate (Electrolyte), Calcium Lactate (Electrolyte), Monopotassium Phosphate (Electrolyte), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (B6), Cyanocobalamin (B12)Note how the ingredient names are aimed to get you hyped about the chic and vitality of the product. It’s not just any water being provided to you — it’s “reverse osmosis” water, whatever that means. Probably better than regular water, right? Next up — the sugar."

"text": "\"Salmonberries are a raspberry shaped fruit ranging in color from pale yellow to deep orange found across much of the Pacific Northwest. The berries can be slightly bitter to sweet, depending upon maturity, and are often snacked upon by passing hikers. Salmonberries are usually not found for sale unless at small farm stands and markets, although they make passable jam and preserves if enough can be collected. Salmonberries are sometimes confused with cloudberries, another close relative, although salmonberries grow on a bush, while cloudberries tend to hug the ground. Salmonberries grow on bushes of up to six feet (two meters) tall with broad, fuzzy leaves and thorns. Depending on the maturity of the bush, the thorns can be soft and yielding or firmer, posing a threat to clothing and unprotected body parts. Salmonberries have small pink flowers that mature into fruits between June and August, depending on the latitude and elevation of the bush. The plant thrives along streams and in moist forests, preferring damp soil and partial sunlight. Most salmonberries come in the orange variety, which can be quite tasty. The darker reddish salmonberry tends not to be as flavorful and is generally avoided by all but the extremely hungry."

"text": "At first you may have to rack your brain a bit to think what sort of fruits come from palms. You might be surprised how many do, and some of these fruits are among some of the most important fruits from an economic as well as health point of view. Coconut is the first fruit that probably comes to mind, and date fruits might be the next. Both of these are important in the world economies. But one you may not have known was a palm fruit is the Acai berry. There are dozens more, most which are tropical in origin, but a few which can be grown and enjoyed even in marginal warm temperate climates such as found in parts of California, Florida, Texas, Arizona and a few of the southeastern states. If you want to be absolutely accurate, almost all palm fruits are edible, though I would not really recommend eating most of them. Some are toxic however, and have high levels of oxalates in them so these are palm fruits that definitely should be avoided (see article on Dangerous Palms ). I have tried numerous palm fruits myself and have been disappointed most of the time. However our local squirrels seem to like them regardless and palm fruits are a large part of many Fox Squirrel diets in Southern California."

Though raw, vegan, and packed with nutrient-dense foods, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes and more, it's surprisingly delicious in smoothies or dairy-free yogurt. More Details Amazing? Why yes it is. But to be honest, after trailing numerous drink powders, from protein-packed to supplement-worthy, it is still hard for me to pinpoint the exact qualities that make this product so awesome. Perhaps it really is all of the raw organic greens that they pack into Amazing Grass Green Super Food powder: wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella, and broccoli!To be clear, Amazing Grass Green Super Food isn’t protein powder (in fact, there are only 25 to 30 calories per serving) and it isn’t a vitamin supplement (update: some of the flavors do now have vitamin & mineral infusions, too). It’s a raw, vegan whole food supplement with the aforementioned powdered greens, powdered antioxidant-rich foods (like organic acai and green tea), fiber (from oats, flax seed, and more), digestive enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics. To keep it minimally processed and “raw”, Amazing Grass utilizes a very low temperature dehydration process that ensures the antioxidant and phytonutrient power remains intact. As an added bonus, it contains no added sweeteners, yet the powders have natural light sweetness to them. Amazing Grass Green Super Food comes is a myriad of flavors, and thus far, I’ve trialed the flavors that follow (I will update as we sample more of them) …Chocolate Amazing Grass Green Super Food Merely opening the handy canister of the Chocolate flavor created a strong first impression."

Other antioxidant-rich foods like grapes, mangoes and guavas showed the same ability in similar studies. Antioxidant Ability A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that antioxidants in acai berries, also known as Euterpe oleraceae, showed a significant ability to scavenge free radicals, the damaging results of normal metabolism. Antioxidants are able to neutralize free radicals and incapacitate them by donating an electron, effectively stopping their destructive abilities.

A patient who has such an illness may be referred to as a terminal patient, terminally ill or simply terminal. There is no standardized life expectancy for a patient to be considered terminal, although it is generally months or less.

Or you may have heard about psychological testing and wonder if you or a family member should be tested. Psychological testing may sound intimidating, but it's designed to help you. In many ways, psychological testing and assessment are similar to medical tests. If a patient has physical symptoms, a primary care provider may order X-rays or blood tests to understand what's causing those symptoms. The results of the tests will help inform develop a treatment plan. Psychological evaluations serve the same purpose. Psychologists use tests and other assessment tools to measure and observe a client's behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and guide treatment.

The results (ANCOVAs, regression models) show that at 3 mo. depressive and posttraumatic symptoms were lower in women who performed the expressive writing task than in the neutral writing group. Moreover, the intervention condition was associated significantly with decreased depression at the high and at the mean levels of baseline depression at Time 1. Regarding PTSD, the results showed that the intervention condition was linked significantly to reductions of the symptoms at all levels of baseline PTSD. Mainly, these outcomes suggest that Expressive Writing can be a helpful early and low-cost universal intervention to prevent postpartum distress for women.

CPIR is pleased to provide this handy reference to special education terminology, and hopes it helps our readers quickly connect with the meaning of pivotal words and phrases in the field. Quick-Jump Index to the Terms Point of Reference: IDEAChild with a disability FAPE | Free appropriate public education IDEA | Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IEP | Individualized Education Program LRE | Least Restrictive Environment Related services Special education Supplementary aids and services Transition services TA&D | Technical Assistance and Dissemination Back to top Point of Reference: IDEAIt’s extremely important to understand that the terms you’re likely to hear in special education come from our nation’s special education law, the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). We frequently refer to this law on our website and in our publications, because it guides how special education and related services are provided to children with disabilities in the United States. States develop their own special education policies and procedures based on what IDEA requires. They are allowed to go beyond what IDEA requires–and frequently do, because the law leaves a great many things to state and local discretion–but they are not permitted to have policies or procedures that are not consistent with IDEA’s provisions. This being the case, then, the starting point of special education terms and what they mean is always IDEA’s definitions (most of which are provided through this page and elsewhere on CPIR’s site). Your state’s definition of a term is also important to consider, because it will influence how the term is being used in your area, especially if the state definition isn’t exactly the same as IDEA’s.

"text": "597 Good Research Paper Topics Perhaps the most difficult part of getting started on a research paper is choosing the topic to write about. We found 597 good research paper topics from a wide variety of subject areas. This page is all about helping you with ideas for research paper topics. Each of these topics can be a standalone subject for a research paper, or can give a general idea for a good place to start. Finding the Right Research Paper Topic The process of writing the research paper is going to be very time consuming so it’s important to select a topic that is going to sustain your interest for the duration of the project. It is good to select a topic that is relevant to your life since you are going to spend a long time researching and writing about it. Perhaps you are considering starting your own business or pursuing a career in politics. Look through the suggested research paper topics and find one in a category that you can relate to easily. Finding a topic that you have some personal interest in will help make the arduous task a lot easier, and the project will have better results because of your vested interest.

"text": "The cost of liposuction in the UK will depend on the type of liposuction performed, whether a local or general anaesthetic is used and the numbers of areas treated. Liposuction surgery is generally performed under a general anaesthetic which requires the presence of a qualified anesthesiologist. Liposuction tends to be more expensive if it requires a general, rather than local, anaesthesia. Your doctor will advise you which type of anaesthetic you need, based on the treatment area, the surgical procedure and your overall health. Procedure Price Range (GBP)Traditional Liposuction £2,770-£6,000VASER Liposuction £2,600-£6,000Laser Liposuction £2,770-£6,000Smart Lipo £1,999-£6,000Cool Sculpting £2,770-£6,000Micro Lipo £2,300 for one area What Types Of Liposuction Are Available Mr David Floyd, Consultant Plastic Surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, talks us through the various liposuction treatments that are available: Video Transcript What Affects The Cost Of Liposuction? Qualification and Expertise of the Surgeon: A reputable surgeon who has consistently achieved exceptional results will often charge more than one with less experience. Their fees are set to reflect their years in practice and the number of procedures they have successfully carried out. It is not uncommon for newer surgeons, or those whose track records are less favourable, to offer discounts or free consultations to patients in order to attract more business. Patient Profile: Liposuction fees tend to be higher for heavier patients since the area to work on is larger. Those who have gained then lost a significant amount of weight will generally need to pay more as this makes the procedure more difficult."

"text": "\"Organizational Psychology Industrial and Organizational Psychology Tweet Industrial and organizational psychology (also known as I/O psychology, work psychology, or personnel psychology) is the scientific study of employees, workplaces, and organizations. Industrial and organizational psychologists contribute to an organization's success by improving the performance and well-being of its people. An I/O psychologist researches and identifies how behaviors and attitudes can be improved through hiring practices, training programs, and feedback systems. I/O psychologists also help organizations transition among periods of change and development. Industrial and organizational psychology is related to the concepts of organizational behavior and human capital. An applied science, I–O psychology is represented by Division 14 of the American Psychological Association, known formally as the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP). Overview Guion (1965) defines I–O psychology as \"\"the scientific study of the relationship between man and the world of work: ... in the process of making a living\"\" (p. 817). Blum & Naylor (1968) define it as \"\"simply the application or extension of psychological facts and principles to the problems concerning human beings operating within the context of business and industry\"\" (p. 4). I–O psychology has historically subsumed two broad areas of study, as evident by its name, although this distinction is largely artificial and many topics cut across both areas. It has roots in social psychology; organizational psychologists examine the role of the work environment in performance and other outcomes including job satisfaction and health."

"text": "Choose A Programstep onestep twostep three Sponsored Neuropsychology is the study brain systems and functions and how they relate to human behavior. It can be thought of as the combination of two disciplines: on one side there’s neurology, which looks at the physical aspect of the human brain and central nervous system, and on the other side is psychology, which focuses more on human behavior and thought processes. This guide will explain the neuropsychology profession in more detail, including neuropsychology degrees, what graduates can expect, and the most common neuropsychology careers. Search Neuropsychology Degree Programs What Does a Neuropsychologist Do? Given the physiological component of neuropsychology, neuropsychologists tend to work in research and medical settings, rather than treating patients like a clinical or counseling psychologist would. Of course, this is not to say that neuropsychologists do not directly treat patients – some of them do. Neuropsychologist Career Basics Neuropsychology is a broad field with a wide range of choices for specializations and work settings. It is considered a specialty within the discipline of clinical psychology, which includes psychologists who treat clients or patients. Neuropsychologists are employed as researchers and teachers, as well as by hospitals and health care facilities. The majority of neuropsychologists engage in research, studying the human brain and how its physiological state affects human cognition and behavior."

We’ve split up the discussion of each of these important elements, because there is so much to say about each. This article focuses on related services._______________________IDEA’s exact words Related services, in brief Beginning with evaluation Determining what related services a student needs Related services personnel on the IEP team Do parents have to pay for related services? Related services, in detail What’s excluded Individual services, defined_______________________IDEA’s Exact Words Let’s start with IDEA’s full requirement for specifying a child’s related services in his or her IEP. This appears at §300.320 (a) (4) and stipulates that each child’s IEP must contain: (4) A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services, based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable, to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, and a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided to enable the child— (i) To advance appropriately toward attaining the annual goals; (ii) To be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum in accordance with paragraph (a) (1) of this section, and to participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities; and (iii) To be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and nondisabled children in the activities described in this section… [§300.320 (a) (4)]We’ve bolded the part of IDEA’s regulation that specifically mentions related services, because it’s important to see the context in which this term is used. It is that context, and IDEA’s own definition of related services, that will guide how a child’s IEP team considers what related services the child needs and the detail with which the team specifies them in the IEP. Back to top Related Services, in Brief Related services help children with disabilities benefit from their special education by providing extra help and support in needed areas, such as speaking or moving. Related services can include, but are not limited to, any of the following:speech-language pathology and audiology servicesinterpreting servicespsychological servicesphysical and occupational therapyrecreation, including therapeutic recreationearly identification and assessment of disabilities in childrencounseling services, including rehabilitation counselingorientation and mobility servicesmedical services for diagnostic or evaluation purposesschool health services and school nurse servicessocial work services in schoolsparent counseling and training Back to top Beginning with Evaluation IDEA requires that a child be assessed in all areas related to his or her suspected disability. This evaluation must be sufficiently comprehensive so as to identify all of the child’s special education and related services needs, whether or not those needs are commonly linked to the disability category in which he or she has been classified. Back to top Determining What Related Services a Student Needs It is the IEP team’s responsibility to review all of the evaluation information, to identify any related services the child needs, and to include them in the IEP."

"text": "Full-tuition and full-ride scholarships: Are they the same? By Tamara06/03/2015Share I think most students would agree that finding a scholarship that covers all of their college expenses would be a huge blessing. But would that award be called a full-tuition scholarship or a full-ride scholarship? With so many people using the terms interchangeably, it can get a bit confusing. Personally, a school could call its award the ‘We’ll Pay for Everything’ Scholarship, and I wouldn’t care, especially if it meant I was taking out fewer student loans. I do, however, think it’s important for students to understand the subtle differences in each program. Let’s start with the full-tuition scholarship. Just as the name suggests, it covers tuition costs at college. This typically is restricted to the published tuition, but may also include lab or other student fees, as well as books. Many colleges offer full-tuition scholarships to incoming freshmen (or transfer students) for high academic achievement, such as scoring within a certain range on the SAT or ACT, or meeting a required grade point average (GPA) or class ranking."

For each child who receives the HEO benefit, the university will pay the in-state matriculation fees, less any Bright Futures scholarship award, for a maximum of 132 credit hours toward an undergraduate degree at the University of Florida or a state public community/state college in the event the child is not admitted to the University of Florida. The program is limited to covering 12 credit hours per spring and fall semesters and 6 credit hours for the summer semester. What is not covered by the Higher Education Opportunity? The HEO does not cover any costs outside of the in-state matriculation fees, including costs associated with housing, books, late registration, late payment, materials, lab fees, or supplies. Additionally, the HEO does not cover state required or local fees associated with tuition. These can include capital improvement, building, activity and service, athletic, health, and transportation access fees (although this list may not be exhaustive). For a breakdown of current tuition fees at the University of Florida, please visit the University Bursar website. What is meant by “matriculation?” Matriculation fees are the actual instructional fees charged by an academic institution to take college courses."

Information about boarding school fees and the financial assistance available When choosing a UK boarding school for your child, you will need to take into account the fees a school charges. The cost of a UK boarding education may initially appear high, but when you take into account the quality of the teaching, the small classes, the high level of care and supervision, the good accommodation and food, the excellent academic and sports facilities, and the numerous extracurricular activities, it represents a very cost-effective package. School fees Fees vary widely from school to school. The 2016 Independent Schools Council (ISC) Annual Census revealed that the average boarding fees per term for pupils at ISC-member senior boarding schools was £10,217, with day fees at £6,104. ISC-member prep boarding school fees are a little less, at an average of £7,572 per term for boarders and £4,590 per term for day pupils. The average boarding fee across the prep, senior and sixth-form age groups at ISC-member schools was £10,317. Fees are payable in advance and overseas account holders may be required to give a substantial deposit, generally one term’s fees. Fees are charged per term – invoices are sent out before the beginning of term, and the fees should be paid in full by the first day of term. Many schools offer a variety of payment methods, ranging from lump-sum payments to monthly direct debit."

I saw her article posted on the Ga Tech CETL site and thought it would be great to include it here and she graciously agreed. Thanks, Bethany!HOPE Scholarship Cuts and its Effects in the Classroom In the wake of the Great Recession, governments everywhere have tried to slash spending. Unfortunately, education has not been spared from these cuts. In the past four years alone, the state contribution to Georgia Tech has been reduced by 90 million dollars or approximately 31%. [ 1] Colleges across Georgia have had to cope with shrinking funds, which have led to pay freezes, reduction in faculty, decrease in admissions, fewer degree programs and course offerings, and even a controversial maneuver to merge eight colleges in the University System of Georgia into four. In addition to these measures, universities turn to their students to help make up for lost funds by raising the cost of tuition and adding new mandatory fees. The inflation of tuition and extra fees has placed increased pressure on the HOPE scholarship, Georgia’s state scholarship program, which until recently has covered full tuition and fees for students who maintain a 3.0 GPA. About 30% of students in the University System of Georgia receive this scholarship. [ 2] From its inception in 1993, HOPE has awarded $6.4 billion dollars to help almost 1.5 million Georgians pay for college [3] without requiring any public funds."

Other scholarships amounts were awarded points based on what they were. Some schools scholarship information could not be found, so we worked them in where we felt they fell in the list regardless of the scholarship amounts. Academics: While we didn’t dive in to what kind of grades you need to get into the college or how hard the schools are, schools that offered a variety of majors with well respected programs received five points. Game day atmosphere: One of the coolest parts of cheering in college is being down on the field or on the sideline of games. For this category, five points were awarded to schools that have incredible game day atmospheres, the kind you hear about on TV."

The goal of this guide is to help students and their families understand how to evaluate financial aid award letters and determine the true cost of college, so that they can make a more informed decision about the tradeoffs between college affordability and college quality, between financial fit and academic fit. This guide also discusses how to compare real college costs on an apples-to-apples basis.

S. Department of Education, depending on whether the student filed the FAFSA online or on paper, provided an email address on the FAFSA and signed the form electronically with an FSA ID. The student will then receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that contains the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). At the same time, the colleges and universities listed on the FAFSA will receive an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) containing the student’s EFC and other information. College and university financial aid offices use this information to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. If the student is determined eligible, the college or university will assemble a financial aid package or award of gift aid (grants, scholarships, tuition/housing waivers and other money that does not need to be repaid) and self-help aid (education loans, tuition installment plans and student employment) from federal, state, institutional and private sources. The financial aid office, then, sends a financial aid letter or notification to the student to provide information about the financial aid package awarded to the student. Most financial aid award letters (or notifications to view an award letter on the college’s portal) arrive either simultaneously or shortly after the student receives an offer of admission, typically in late March or early April."

"text": "NCAA Rules – Definition of a Recruited Athlete Posted April 1, 2012How does the NCAA define whether a prospect is considered a recruited athlete? A prospect is considered a recruited athlete if the college takes one of the following actions: If they provide the prospect with an official visit. If they have an off-campus contact with the prospect or the prospect’s parents or legal guardians. If they offer the prospect a National Letter of Intent or an athletic scholarship agreement. If they initiate a telephone conversation with the prospect or his parents or legal guardians more than one time. Ironically, a coach can have frequent e-mail conversations with a prospect but that athlete will still not be defined as a recruited athlete if the coach does not use any of the four actions above to encourage the prospect to attend the college and join their athletic program.

"text": "Expert Financial Aid Advice Does Financial Aid Cover Room and Board in Addition to Tuition and Fees? Are room and board covered under financial aid? Find out. Mark Kantrowitz December 04, 2010I am currently a senior at a high school. If I want to dorm at a private university, which adds $10,000 more to the $40,000 tuition, do the universities take into account the financial aid as a whole thing with tuition and room and board, or do they just give financial aid for the tuition? To simplify this, my total costs of one year in college would be $50,000, so would they give me financial aid for that money, or would they give me aid just for the tuition? — S. S. Financial aid is based on the full cost of college, including room and board, not just tuition and fees. But the amount of financial aid is reduced by a measure of your ability to pay, so you are unlikely to get a completely free ride at any college, even if you are very poor. Also, financial aid packages usually include loans, which have to be repaid (with interest). The amount of financial aid depends on financial need, which is defined as the difference between the cost of attendance and the expected family contribution ( EFC )."

Every team is looking for something a little different in their athletes. You have options: Be open to looking at NCAA Division 1, 2 & 3 programs as well as NAIA and Junior College Programs.

I heard a lot of talk from parents about “maybe walking on ” to various teams and see what happens. These were good players, the majority better than my son who did know where he was going. I got the feeling that many of them thought that their sons would, at the very least, already be committed to a team, if not holding an actual scholarship. Given the teams they were talking about walking on to, it was obvious that they had spent the last four years watching their sons play baseball without ever really understanding the realities of college baseball scholarships. The fact that it was the summer after their senior year indicated that they weren’t necessarily up to speed on college application and financial aid deadlines either.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sports and academics at Princeton University College athletics in the United States or college sports in the United States refers primarily to sports and athletic competition organized and funded by institutions of tertiary education (universities, or colleges in American English ). In the United States, college athletics is a two-tiered system. [ 1] The first tier includes the sports that are sanctioned by one of the collegiate sport governing bodies. The major sanctioning organizations include the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Individual sports not governed by umbrella organizations like the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA are overseen by their own organizations, such as the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association, National Collegiate Boxing Association, USA Rugby, National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association and Intercollegiate Rowing Association. Additionally, the first tier is characterized by selective participation, since only the elite programs in their sport are able to participate; some colleges offer athletic scholarships to intercollegiate sports competitors. The second tier includes all intramural and recreational sports clubs, which are available to a larger portion of the student body. Competition between student clubs from different colleges, not organized by and therefore not representing the institutions or their faculties, may also be called \"\"intercollegiate\"\" athletics or simply college sports. Unlike in the rest of the world, in the United States today, many college sports are extremely popular on both regional and national scales, in many cases competing with professional championships for prime broadcast and print coverage, and for the top athletes. The average university sponsors at least twenty different sports and offers a wide variety of intramural sports as well."

"text": "College Baseball Programs and Scholarships There are over 1,600 college baseball programs with approximately 50,000 college baseball players. College baseball is categorized as an equivalency sport which means that scholarships can be divided up and given to multiple players. Therefore, full-ride athletic scholarships are rare in college baseball and some players are either on partial athletic scholarships or do not receive athletic scholarship money. In addition, some programs are not “fully funded”, meaning the athletic department at the school does not give them the full allotment of scholarships allowed at their level. NCAA Division I Baseball Scholarships There are approximately 299 NCAA Division I baseball programs with each team being allowed to offer a maximum of (11.7) scholarships. Under NCAA rules, these 11.7 scholarships can be divided between a maximum of 27 players, with all players on athletic scholarship having to receive a minimum of a 25% scholarship. To compete for athletic scholarships at the Division I level, you will want to have video and an online presence to be evaluated and identified. Division I programs start recruiting very early in the process and verbal offers and commitments are made earlier at the Division I level than any other level. NCAA Division II Baseball Scholarships There are approximately 274 NCAA Division II baseball programs with each team having a maximum of (9.0) scholarships per team. Recruiting rules are similar to the Division I level with the exception of the distribution of scholarships."

Some parents aren't in a position to afford the cost and others feel it's their child's responsibility to finance their own education. Whether your parents are unable to or won't cover the price tag of college in full, needing to pay your way through college doesn't have to mean drowning in debt. Here are six ways to prepare for the cost of your degree.1. Ask Your Parents Early Don't wait until your senior year. Start by asking early if your parents are able or willing to contribute financially to your education. If they say yes, you need to know how much they're willing to offer, either in a dollar amount or percentage of the total cost. Even though this conversation may feel uncomfortable, it's important to know how much support they can provide. The earlier you have this conversation, the better, because it will give you more time to figure out how to afford college. \"\" My parents sat me down toward the end of sophomore year and told me they wouldn't pay for a four-year degree,\"\" said Gwen Merz, a 26-year-old IT Specialist, recalling a conversation she had with them while in high school. \"\""

Whether it's your trip, your possessions, your luggage, or your health, travel insurance — and most important, the right kind of travel insurance — has become an essential item to pack for smart travelers. And if you don't buy travel insurance — or the right kind — more than your trip could be ruined. According to the U. S.

"text": "\"The first results are just beginning to trickle in from Washington's last venture in welfare reform, the Family Support Act of 1988, which sought to cut the welfare rolls by collecting more child support from absent fathers and giving single mothers more job training. Not surprisingly, evaluators are finding that modest expenditures on job training yield modest increases in welfare recipients' potential earnings. Faced with such unexciting news, and mindful of its many previous unsuccessful efforts to make America's welfare system more acceptable to the public, Congress now shows little enthusiasm for new legislation in this area. Nonetheless, grass-roots hostility to the system has been driving both state legislators and presidential candidates to propose more drastic changes. Many states have trimmed benefits for parents receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for childless adults receiving General Assistance (GA), or both. Michigan has abolished GA altogether. New Jersey has decided not to increase AFDC recipients' benefits if they have another child while on welfare, and Wisconsin has moved in the same direction. Many other states have been considering changes in AFDC rules that they hope will encourage young women to stay in school, postpone motherhood, or get married. But by far the biggest proposed change is Bill Clinton's suggestion that no one be allowed to collect AFDC for more than two years. If this proposal does nothing else, it should at least give pause to those who see Clinton as a middle-of-the-road Democrat committed to the status quo."

"text": "\"What is 'Underemployment'Underemployment is a measure of employment and labor utilization in the economy that looks at how well the labor force is being utilized in terms of skills, experience and availability to work. Labor that falls under the underemployment classification includes those workers who are highly skilled but working in low paying jobs, workers who are highly skilled but working in low skill jobs and part-time workers who would prefer to be full time. This is different from unemployment in that the individual is working but is not working at his full capability. Next Up U-6 Rate Unemployment Rate Civilian Labor Force Skilled Labor BREAKING DOWN 'Underemployment'For example, an individual with an engineering degree working as a pizza delivery man as his main source of income is considered to be underemployed and underutilized by the economy as he, in theory, can provide a greater benefit to the overall economy if he works as an engineer. Also, an individual who is working part time at an office job instead of full time is considered underemployed because he is willing to provide more employment, which can increase the overall output. Weaknesses of the Unemployment Rate The unemployment rate, which receives the majority of the national spotlight, can be misleading as the main indicator of the job market's health because it does not account for the full potential of the labor force. The U. S. unemployment rate was 4.7% as of May 2016, but at the same time, the U. S. underemployment rate was 13.7%. The unemployment rate is defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) as including \"\"all jobless persons who are available to take a job and have actively sought work in the past four weeks.\"\" As illustrated by the engineering major who works as a delivery man, a measure of underemployment is needed to express the opportunity cost of advanced skills not being used. Furthermore, the unemployment rate is calculated based solely off the labor force, which does not include persons who are not seeking a job."

Answer by Leigha Juravich Confidence votes 157PRN is Latin for \"\"pro re nata\"\", which would mean that a person hired for a specific job will be needed as \"\"circumstances arise\"\", and that he/she will not be subject to a standard or set working schedule. PRN jobs are as needed. The employee is not guaranteed a schedule or set hours, but rather, works when needed. These employees typically work less than 20 hours a week (or the minimum number of hours to be considered \"\"part time\"\" in that position) and do not receive benefits from the company. PRN rates are higher than typical part time and full time rates due to the lack of benefits and lack of structured schedule and hours.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

And then you must be ordered onto active duty. If you volunteer to do an AGR tour, say three years, your employer is relieved of this obligation. If you're ordered onto active duty, for let's say 730 days to mobilize, got through training, spend a year Iraq, and demobilize, they would have to hold your job for you.

They do not have to garuntee your exact position and in your field, chances are your client list would not be returned to you and you would have to begin again. If you go full time active duty, meaning the military is your job, your employer does not have to hold your job or garuntee your re-hire as being active duty means you are basically quitting your current, civilian position to work as a military officer."

Credit: Oktay Ortakcioglu E+ Getty Images Full Answer Insurance companies analyze several types of information when determining whether an employee is bondable. Someone who has a criminal record, particularly one with theft and/or violent crime, is much less likely to be considered bondable. Convictions for fraud and poor credit histories can also be a threat to bondability.

Abstract Standard pathways for work and retirement are being transformed as the large Boomer cohort moves through typical retirement ages during a moment of economic, social and political change. People are delaying retirement and moving into and out of paid work as the standard lock-step retirement becomes less dominant. However, little research has explored how and why Boomers are taking on these diverse pathways in their later careers. Accordingly, we conduct in-depth interviews with working and retired white-collar Boomers, exploring how they are working and the meanings and motivations for their decisions and plans in their later careers. We find that there is no single dominant pattern for retirement, but rather a diverse mix of pathways shaped by occupational identities, finances, health and perceptions of retirement. Boomers express a desire to have control over their time and to find meaning and purpose in either paid or unpaid activities. However, life course transitions, normative cultural scripts, and gender and class locations as well as workplace and social policies constrain their decisions and plans. Previous article Next article Keywords Retirement Aging Boomers Career transitions Encore careers Introduction The social institution of retirement is in flux, as traditional lock-step and linear pathways from full-time work to full-time retirement have been upended by demographic transitions, technological advances, cultural changes, and shifts in the global political economy—all of which are transforming the organization of work, career paths, and retirement exits ( Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2005; Moen & Flood, 2013; Osterman, 1988; Osterman, 1996; Osterman & Shulman, 2011 ). Growing numbers of people are working longer and transitioning into and out of retirement through part-time, bridge and encore jobs ( Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2011; Cahill, Giandrea, & Quinn, 2006; Giandrea, Cahill, & Quinn, 2009; Quinn, 2010 )."

"text": "The myth of doing it all: modern moms and hiring help By Meagan Francis On May 4, 2011 252 Comments Tweet Pin It Betcha SHE didn't feel bad about hiring help. Last fall I read Little Women for the first time in at least ten years, and had quite a revelation. You may remember how the book opens: the four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth, are in the middle of an epic complain-fest about poverty. Papa lost the family fortune when the oldest girls were small, he’s now far away from their “plain, but comfortable” New England home serving as a pastor for Union soldiers in the Civil War. The older girls work to help support the family, there is much talk of the drudgery of housework and chores, and worse, Christmas is coming and their mother “Marmee” has suggested they will be getting no gifts. Just after you’ve really gotten picture that this family is not doing so hot financially and has a whole lotta work on their hands, another character enters the scene: Hannah, the family’s live-in servant. Whaaaa? The Marches weren’t unique. Going by the extensive reading of free and/or inexpensive classic novels I’ve on my Kindle over the past year, many–perhaps most–“ordinary” families had some kind of hired help back then, even those who weren’t very well off: whether it was a teen girl helping out in the kitchen, a boy to work on the farm or a local woman “taking in” the wash or even live-in cooks, nannies and other servants, having “help” was just an accepted fact of life among the middle classes. Things have changed pretty dramatically in the American home over the last century or so–economically, socially and technologically."

Once such term often used is \"\"POV\"\". In the military, this means \"\"car\"\" or Privately Owned Vehicle. You may even ask, \"\"Why don't you just say 'C-A-R?' \"\" Many of these terms do not make sense when used in civilian life, but as explained below, these acronyms and terms used military and veterans alike become second nature in a relatively short period of time while on \"\"active duty\"\". Military Terms - Active Duty In the U. S. military, there are some basic terms that describe military life and how the infrastructure works. Most people are familiar with the term \"\"active duty\"\" although they may not be entirely clear exactly what this means for the member of the military, and, how this differs from being deployed. The Department of Defense (which is the agency that oversees every branch of the U. S. military) definition of active duty in the U. S. military is pretty straightforward. Active duty refers to full-time duty in the active military, including members of the Reserve Components on full-time training duty. It does not include full-time National Guard duty."

Properties for rent are advertised in local newspapers and magazines (where you can also place a ‘wanted’ ad. ), particularly in English-language publications. They can also be found through property publications in many other countries. Estate agents in Portugal often offer both short and long-term rentals, and developers may also rent properties to potential buyers. A rental contract ( contrato de arrendamento) is necessary when renting a property in Portugal, whether long or short-term. Long-term Rentals Portugal doesn’t have a flourishing long-term (i.e. six months or longer) rental market in resort areas, where it’s more common for people to buy, although there’s an adequate choice of long-term rentals in most regions, including everything from studio apartments to luxurious villas with private swimming pools. Most properties in resort areas are let furnished ( mobiliado ), whether long or short-term, and long-term unfurnished ( desmobiliado, sem mobília) properties are difficult to find. On the other hand, in major cities long-term rentals are usually let unfurnished and furnished properties are difficult to find. Rental costs vary considerably according to the size (number of bedrooms) and quality of a property, its age and the facilities provided."

It will help you in better negotiation with the HR and structuring of the salary. One of the most commonly used terms by companies, yet least understood by its employees is Cost to Company or CTC. The CTC, as quoted by employers and the take home pay are two different amounts. Also salary hikes in the form of an increased CTC does not necessarily increase the monthly salary. So what exactly is this CTC and as an employee what all are you entitled for? This article aims to clarify the confusions that often arise in peoples minds when it comes to salary structures.

"text": "\"Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality How much should a full time pastor be paid? For a congregation of about 100 people. If the pastor is fully committed to all pastoral duties as well as on call for sick people, counseling, and anything else needed. I would really like to hear what others think it is fair... Thanks.1 following 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are a lot of mitigating factors that would go into determining the pay of a Pastor. 1. Does the church provide a parsonage? If the church owns a parsonage most states dictate that living in the parsonage will count as income. This is generally figured out by the average rate of rent for a house of similar size and property tax. Also if he lives in the parsonage the church is required to pay all the utility bills which again is figured into the income of the Pastor. If the church does not provide a parsonage then if the church pays for the rent of a house, that is figured into his income."

While some charity CEOs do earn large annual salaries, the information in the emails is inaccurate and outdated. Read on to find out what the viral postings claim as well as the facts about charity CEO salaries. Sample Email Below is a sample email posted on the internet on Nov.3, 2010: Ever wonder where that donation money goes? Keep these facts in mind when donating. As you open your pockets for yet another natural disaster, keep the following salary facts in mind; we have listed them from the highest (worse paid offender) to the lowest (least paid offender). The worst offender yet again for the 11th year in a row is the UNICEF CEO; he receives $1,200,000 per year, (plus use of a Rolls Royce for his exclusive use whereever he goes and an expense account that is rumored to be well over $150,000.) Only pennies from the actual donations goes to the UNICEF cause (less than $0.14 per dollar of income). The second worst offender this year is Marsha J.

"text": "Why College Students Should Refrain from Smoking Marijuana By Amberlee Thieleman on November 15, 2012Email I’m not pointing fingers or being judgmental, as I’m sure most of us, myself included, can admit to “smoking the reefer” “toking up” or “getting high” at least one time in our lives. We hear the buzz about getting buzzed off of marijuana all around us in today’s society. With all of the political discussion about medicinal marijuana and legalization in a growing number of states (most recently in Colorado and Washington) marijuana use is creeping into becoming a publicly accepted norm. Let me just say, I am all in favor of medicinal marijuana on legitimate grounds such as assistance with chemotherapy, gastrointestinal illness, or glaucoma. However, with marijuana being increasingly accepted, I’m worried for my peers of college students and our future generations taking this newly found wonder drug as if it had no side effects or consequence, as there are many. First I want to say, smoking marijuana is not terrible, it does not make you bad or any less of a person. There are many successful people everywhere in the world who smoke pot on a regular basis and will swear by it. My argument however, is that in this very transitional point in our lives, we as college students should do our best to stay away from marijuana and the long and short term effects that follow it. Marijuana is a mind altering substance in that it changes how your brain works. This fact should speak for itself when referring to college students acquiring a higher education."

With this particular property, title is held as Tenants In Common. That means you can become owner of as little as 1/8 of the property. You would have the right to use the property, presumably a single unit of an 8-unit complex, and can sell your interest at any time. If you were to acquire all 8 interests, you would be sole owner of the entire property. This is not the normal way to hold title to a property, when you intend to own a condo. ROYCE E.

However, most people seeking furnished apartments are looking for short-term leases, so your turnover rate is likely to be higher. Different types of furnished apartments carry different items, so pick your market before investing in the furnishings. The Basics When furnishing your rental apartment, each room needs to have basic and functional furniture. You need seating, such as a couch, in the living room as well as a coffee table or end tables and an entertainment center of some kind. A TV isn't usually included in the basic furniture package. A dining area is, however. This can be a pub table in the kitchen, a larger table in the dining room or stools at a breakfast bar, depending on the space in your apartment.

Here’s how to create an extensive sales funnel with your Facebook ads, driving results for your business and value to your audience. Create a Natural Sequence of Ads When first setting up your Facebook ad campaign, map out each stage of the funnel to understand what specific ads are needed to reach a user at each particular stage. This will require the creation of multiple variations of ads for each stage of the funnel that relate to where a Facebook user is in relation to their interactions with your business.

"text": "What is a funnel cloud? Posted on August 18, 2014 by Weather Guys Editor A funnel cloud gets its name from its shape — it is a funnel-shaped protuberance from the base of a thunderstorm. It is composed of water droplets and is often associated with a supercell storm. The funnel cloud often has rotation, and when it does, it’s a harbinger of possible severe weather. A supercell thunderstorm is a large storm, sometimes 20 miles or more across, that almost always produces dangerous weather. Supercell storms produce one or more of the following weather conditions: strong wind gusts, large hail, dangerous lightning and tornadoes. The severity of these storms is primarily a result of the structure of the environment in which the storms form. Severe weather requires warm, moist air near the ground and a change in wind speed and direction, or wind shear, with height above the surface. Funnel clouds are not dangerous unless they reach the ground. We are interested in reported funnel clouds since it is possible that a funnel cloud can become a tornado."

"text": "Reflux (Laboratory Manual)By : James W Zubrick Email: [email protected] Just about 80% of the reactions in organic lab involve a step called refluxing. You use a reaction solvent to keep materials dissolved and at a constant temperature by boiling the solvent, condensing it, and returning it to the flask. For example, say you have to heat a reaction to around 80°C for 17 hours. Well, you can stand there on your flat feet and watch the reaction all day. Me? I’m off to the reflux. Usually, you’ll be told what solvent to use, so selecting one should not be a problem. What happens more often is that you choose the reagents for your particular synthesis, put them into a solvent, and reflux the mixture. You boil the solvent and condense the solvent vapor so that ALL the solvent runs back into the reaction flask (see “Fractional Distillation”). The reflux temperature is near the boiling point of the solvent."

Find out below The most venomous spiders in the world are not something you want to come across very often.

Pretty much anywhere you look on earth, you’ll be able to find spiders — you may not know it but there is always a spider within a few feet of you at any one time. Various species of spider have populated the world since the Devonian Period 380 million years ago — far longer than humans have been around.

"text": "Funnel clouds or 'tuba' are extending, spinning fingers of cloud that reach towards the ground, but never touch it. When they do reach the ground they become a tornado. What are funnel clouds? A funnel cloud is a cone-shaped cloud which extends from the base of a cloud towards the ground without actually reaching the surface. In the UK they often look like thin dangling bits of rope, hanging from the cloud above. But in hotspots such as tornado alley in the USA, funnel clouds can sometimes be thicker and much more intense. How do funnel clouds form? A rotating column of wind draws in cloud droplets, making a region of intense low pressure visible. They are formed in the same way as a tornado building around this localised area of intensely low pressure and are typically associated with the formation of cumulonimbus thunderclouds. For more information on the way tuba and tornadoes form see How are tornadoes formed?."

If you’re a marketer, you’ve probably heard of marketing automation. We’re going to bet though, that 90 percent of you have no clue what the term means. We don’t blame you — ‘marketing automation’ is a mouthful to say, and there probably should be a better way to describe the concept. Let’s start by investigating the problem. Marketing is the lifeblood of every brand-to-customer (or prospect) relationship. The field is also heavily integrated with sales. When companies first launch, they’re typically run by builders and sellers. Builders create the product, while sellers are out in the field forging 1:1 connections with potential customers. The sales process is marketing in its most nascent stages."

They don’t hunt, hide, fly, build homes, communicate, or do any of the other things that fascinate us about other living creatures. But plants have a secret! Inside that calm exterior they are busily working at a complex process that fuels the whole planet: photosynthesis. Photosynthesis Science Lesson Sneak Peek Inside a Leaf Photosynthesis comes from Greek and means ‘putting together with light.’ While we humans are trying hard these days to harness the sun’s energy to power our homes and vehicles, every green leaf in the world is making the most of solar energy to ‘put together’ food from water and carbon dioxide. The carbohydrates they make in this process forms the foundation of the food chain – plants (and some photosynthetic bacteria & algae) are the only ‘producers’ of food; all other living things are ‘consumers,’ feeding directly or indirectly on the food produced in photosynthesis. But that’s not all – photosynthesis is also the main source of oxygen that most living creatures need in order to breathe."

This model is important when marketing your business as it provides a method of understanding and tracking the behaviour of an average customer throughout the sales process. This can help with the following: Planning marketing campaigns Highlighting areas in order to improve your conversion rate (from potential to actual customers)Evolving the sales process Designing customer relationship management (CRM) system The shape, number of stages and duration of the process can vary depending on both the consumer and the nature of the product, as well as many other factors. Many different versions have been published, but the fundamental stages remain the same. A funnel shape is used as is describes the natural loss of potential customers at each stage – many people may be aware of a particular brand, but this does not mean they’ll purchase the product. Note: The purchase funnel focuses on the decision making path of a typical consumer. This is a different evolution of the sales funnel, which describes the typical active process a salesman can take in order to close a potential deal. The modern purchase funnel: The diagram below summarises the modern purchase funnel, taking into account the emergence of internet research and includes post-purchase behaviour, and is explained below.1.

In the water cycle, the sun heats the Earth's surface water, causing that surface water to evaporate (gas). This water vapor then rises into the earth's atmosphere where it cools and condenses into liquid droplets. These droplets combine and grow until they become too heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation (liquid if rain, solid if snow). Water is temporarily stored in lakes, glaciers, underground, or living organisms. The water can move from these places by streams and rivers, returns to the oceans, is used by plants or animals or is evaporated directly back into the atmosphere.

So, since a gallon of liquid is 4 quarts or 8 pints, it's nearly 8 pounds. However water is a bit heavier, since water goes to the bottom, and diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene stay on top. Answer by selen Submitted on 4/2/2004Rating: Rate this answer: I think it costs about 15 euros a half a liter Answer by IDbuffalo Submitted on 4/22/2004Rating: Rate this answer: Depends on the API gravity. During the summer, diesel will weigh between 6.951 (API 38) and 7.076 (API 35) pounds per gallon. Last winter, the diesel weighed around 7.206 (API 32) pounds per gallon. Regular unleaded gasoline weighs around 6.184 (API 59) pounds per gallon and premium usually has an API of 56, or 6.263 lbs per gallon. Answer by Charlie Submitted on 6/22/2005Rating: Rate this answer: The most commonly used weight for diesel is 7.3 lb per US gallon (0.9 kg / liter). However, the actual weight of diesel (or any other liquid) will vary slightly based on factors such as the exact chemical composition, temperature, gravity, etc. You may use my online calculator to determine the weights of common liquids such as gasoline, diesel, propane, and water, by entering the number of liters or gallons."

By Aaron Turpen Posted on April 14, 2017Reddit Tweet Share Share Email Comments Elon Musk’s announcement that a Tesla Semi will be arriving as early as September is the first step to what will eventually be a reinvention of an entire industry. We’ve discussed before what, exactly, that means, but given that the man in charge of the Tesla truck program is Jerome Guillen who has a history with Daimler (specifically Freightliner) and large Class 8 semi-trucks, it’s not hard to see where Tesla plans to go with this. That leaves only the question of how far, literally, they plan to take it. In tractor-trailer operations, there are two basic types of freight moving: short-haul and long-haul. We’re going to look at each of these types of freight hauling and how the return on investment (ROI) for a battery-electric rig (such as that we expect Tesla to unveil) would be. If there is any. We’ll also consider what type of equipment this might entail, in a broad sense, and how that compares to current paradigms in tractor-trailer freight hauling. Before we dive into that, a few words on what the trucking industry is like are needed. About 69.5 percent of the freight moved in the United States is moved on a commercial truck."

DEF, the only solution needed to make SCR work, is available at various retail and whole sale locations. It can be delivered in various quantities and is less expensive than other NOx reduction systems. Q. How does the SCR system work? A. SCR is the treatment of diesel exhaust that is implicated before the catalytic converter. An SCR system sprays a fine mist of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) upstream of the catalytic converter where it gets vaporized and the decomposes to become ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia is the key element to that aides the SCR catalyst in converting the NOx to harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) bi products. The reduction efficiency of the SCR system is 90% or more."

One reason for this crisis is the growing use of alternative fuel vehicles, as all states still rely mainly on federal and state gas taxes for transportation funding. States are seeking both funding and financing options to help maintain and improve their transportation systems, especially given concerns about the long-term sustainability of the fuel tax. One option states have pursued is special taxes on alternative vehicle fuels with the revenues dedicated to transportation. Other states have enacted tax incentives or credits to encourage the use of such fuels. The charts below provide information about state statutes and legislative activity related to taxation of alternative fuels. The definition of alternative fuels varies from state to state, but in general the category includes methanol, ethanol and other alcohols; blends of alcohol with gasoline; compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); hydrogen; electricity; and pure biodiesel. Table 1 details the 27 states that have statutes imposing a tax on a type of alternative fuel. Of these, 16 states (Calif., Ga., Idaho, Ill., Maine, Mich., Mont., Neb., Nev., N. J., Okla., Pa., S. D., Utah, Va. and Wis.) dedicate all alternative fuel tax revenue to transportation, and seven states (Ark., Kan., La., Miss., N. M., S. C. and Tenn.) dedicate a portion of the tax revenue to transportation. Table 2 shows the eight states (Mont., N. M., N. Y., R. I., S.

As you pointed out, it depends on the capacity of the rail car and the weight of the crude. The lightest oils weigh 295#/barrel and the heaviest oils weigh 370#/barrel, so there is quite a range. Bakken oil weighs around 305#/barrel (7.26#/gallon). Tanker rail cars weigh roughly 70,000#-80,000# empty and 263,000# loaded, which works out to 600-633 barrels per rail car."

The tare weight is tough to get from Penske. Not that they're avoiding the topic, but the folks who answer the phones just don't know. After multiple calls and wildly different answers, I got to a Penske service department, where they were able to look up the tare weights. Add 50 gallons of diesel at 7.5 pounds per gallon and a 200 pound driver, and you have an \"\"empty\"\" truck weight of 15, 816 pounds, meaning you can put 10,184 pounds of cargo in the truck without exceeding the 26,000 GVW rating of the truck and the limits of a non-CDL driver. The tare weight of the liftgate 26 foot Penske trucks are 16,108 pounds (International) and 16,242 pounds (Freightliner), so by the same calculations, the max payload is a bit over 9000 pounds for this \"\"10,000 pound\"\" truck.

Also load locks works when there is no were to put straps on a trailer. ------ And again, another inaccurate answer, given by an imposter claiming to be in the industry when he is not. Securing loads on a tractor-trailer depends first on what type of trailer you have. For van trailers, if loads require securement, this can be done with load locks and with straps which go wall-to-wall on the trailer, and lock into brackets located on the trailer wall. For flatbeds, stepdecks, curtainside trailers, lowboy trailers and other equipment trailers, the driver will secure the load using straps, chains, or a combination of both, depending on the load, and the type of trailer in use.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

He then loads up on product, only to be be ticketed for being overweight at the next scale. Far too often, new truckers will forget to calculate in the weight of the fuel and on which axle group the fuel weight will alter the overall weight. This of course, is different for each big rig truck and changes with each load. However, in general a driver needs to be familiar with his equipment and his axle wt. when loading or fueling. Just a simple calculation of diesel fuel weight and some trip planning, can make a trucker’s day go so much more smoothly!The Weight of Diesel Fuel on the Axles10′ or greater spread axles are allowed a total of 20,000 lbs on the spread, but still held to a maximum of 80,000 lb gross. But most new drivers don’t pull spread axles, so let’s stick to the 12,000, 34,000, and 34,000 lb. set up. Consider the Location of the Fuel Tanks When fueling, depending on where on the tractor’s tanks are located, the diesel weight will primarily ride on either the steering axle or the drives."

By Andy Stauffer Ask any farmer what a bushel of wheat costs and he'll have an instant answer for you. Similarly, the price of a barrel of oil and an ounce of gold are common knowledge, with costs quoted down to the last cent. But try asking a home builder about the \"\"cost per square foot\"\" to build a home, and you'll likely get any number of responses, including lowball guesses, unhelpfully vague price ranges, or even outright irritation from the respondent. Why is new home construction so different? A simple question like this seems fair, so why is it met with disdain by home builders? The disconnect stems from the fact that in residential construction, there is simply no agreed upon standard for what constitutes a square foot. No grocer would have trouble telling you what a gallon of milk costs, and what it contains. It is not so easy, however, to decide what is contained in a square foot of home. For example, do builders only include finished square footage in their estimates?"

Many families have moved in together to share costs. So, how can you add space to accommodate the extra occupants comfortably? The truth is, there are some very affordable ways to add living space to an existing home and some, not so affordable. The most cost effective way to add space to a home is to finish the basement. Finished basements can cost anywhere from $10 to $30 per square foot depending on the finishes, mechanicals required, and whether you take on the role of the owner-builder/general contractor. If you are adding living space without a bath or kitchen, and your HVAC is of adequate size to condition the new space without upgrading equipment, you can finish off the area for as low as $10 per square foot. At this price, you are acting as the owner-builder. Of course, you can save even more by taking on some of the physical work yourself.

I am building in Ely, IA near Cedar Rapids and it will cost me roughly $95 to $110 a square foot to build it. That includes me framing it and doing floors, tile shower, and cabinets. I will have wood floors and granite countertops so you can do it for less if you want. This is a three stall garage home with two bedrooms and a bathroom finished in the basment as well. This costs does not include the lot price. Concrete prices have increase quite bit in the last 5 to 10 years so that concrete work came back higher than I expected. Everything else was under what I expected pricewise."

"text": "Garages How to Determine the Cost per Square Foot of Building a Garage By Thomas Mello Updated 02/25/18Share Pin Emailimaginima/Getty Images Almost every contractor has a story about a customer calling and asking, “How much will it cost to build a 24 X 24 garage?” A contractor has to answer carefully because there can literally be a $10,000 or more difference on a same-sized unit based on how the customer wants to build and finish it. In order to determine the cost per square footage of a garage, you need to weigh in on these details: Size Unfortunately, there isn't a 'garage menu' that says small, medium, and large garages each have set price points. A homeowner has so many options to consider that a rough quote over the phone won’t be accurate. That being said, there are some standard numbers that builders rely on, such as 20' X 20' as the minimum for a 2-car garage and 12' X 20' for a one-car garage. Most contractors would recommend building as big as you can for the convenience of storage, extra room, and to alleviate the risks of opening car doors (size needed: typically 24' X 24' or larger). Figuring out what size of a garage you want is the first step in determining the cost per square foot. A good rule of thumb to remember is that a starting point for the most basic garage is about $30 per square foot. Therefore, you're starting off at about $12,000 for a standard 20' X 20' garage — but you'll soon find out that number will have a tendency to rise quickly. Foundation When determining the cost per square foot of a garage, it's best to work from the ground up."

"text": "\"How much does it cost to build a detached garage? For this discussion we will assess the costs of building detached a two-car as well as a four car garage. The measurements of the average two car model is 26'x26'or 676 square feet. The average square footage of a four car garage is 48'x30' or 1440 square feet. Both easily accommodate vehicles, but also provide ample room for storage and even a small work area. Building either of these garages would not be considered any sort of \"\"DIY\"\" project, and professional contractors will be necessary for the job. For the building of the garages, the typical costs will include: Two car - According to Hanley Wood and their \"\"Remodeling\"\" magazine, the cost to construct a standard two-car garage addition is $58,432. This translates to $86 per square foot; and Four car - Traditionally, the per square foot costs on larger structures will decrease, and it is safe to assume a $60 per square foot cost on the larger unit. This translates to a total cost of $86,400. Cost breakdown What needs to be included: Excavation and site preparation - The average costs are going to vary according to the level of work necessary;Concrete footings 1 and slab \"\"to grade\"\" - The average price of concrete is $75 per cubic yard, with the full slab it that would require roughly 13 cubic yards for the two car version at a cost of $975, while it would take 27 cubic yards for the four car version at a cost of $2025;Roof trusses 2 and a support beam system - lumber prices vary according to the design used in constructing the garage."

You had mentioned a final price of $420k with finished living space of 3100 sf (1900 on the main level and an additional 1200 sf finished basement) $420k/3100 sf gives a sf price of $135.48.

"text": "The Birds of the Down Industryby Alisa Rutherford-Fortunati on August 24, 2013If you’re considering buying a product stuffed with down or body feathers, the first thought on your mind probably isn’t: “Where (or rather whom) did these feathers come from, and do I want to be supporting the industry that ‘harvested’ them?” But after learning about the animals involved in the down and feather industry, I hope that, like I did, you will become determined to make your household and clothing feather free. What is down?“‘Down’ is the undercoating of waterfowl (goose, duck or swan) and consists of light, fluffy filaments growing from a central quill point, thereby creating a three dimensional structure which traps air and gives down insulating ability.” – Guide to the Labeling of Down and Feathers Enforcement Guidelines, March 2000 Down is designed to help keep waterfowl warm, but it is now commonly used and promoted as a “natural” stuffing for warm clothing and bedding* for humans instead. Body feathers (from ducks, geese and other birds kept for meat or eggs) are also used to stuff pillows, cushions, bedding/clothing and other such items. As ducks and geese are the primary animals used for the production of down, this piece will predominantly focus on how the down and feather industries affect these particular birds. * It takes the down from approximately 75 + birds to make an average comforter. Where are the down and feathers used in clothing and bedding sourced from?“80 percent of the down and feathers used globally [are] produced in China; the majority – 90 percent – come from ducks…” – American Down & Feather Council Ducks and geese are not raised solely for their feathers and down though. They are raised and used instead for eggs, meat or foie gras*. Purchasing down products directly supports these industries. Although the majority of feathers come from China, they are also “produced” in Hungary, Poland, Turkey, the European Union and the U. S. *Note that much like the link between veal (juvenile) calves and the dairy industry, there is a strong link between foie gras (fatty liver from force fed ducks and geese) and the down/body feathers used in household items."

This persistent bit of folklore - usually citing geese as the carrier - must date from an earlier period, before much at all was known about hummingbird migration. In fact, a helpful reader wrote: I believe it was John J. Audubon who, if not started, helped to strengthen this myth. As you may or may not know, he shot and ate many of the birds he painted. He reports shooting a goose and upon retrieval, turning it over and out flew a hummingbird. I'm afraid I don't have the book in hand nor the source, but I do recall reading this either from his journals or another creditable source citing Audubon. Therefore, this \"\"myth\"\" may have been started by the namesake of the major bird society in this country.

A temporary, disposable heating pad can be made by putting some dry rice or beans in a sock and knot close, and microwave it for one minute. Cover the bag with cloth or several layers of paper and nestle the duckling/goslings into the softness. Once the duckling/gosling is warmed, water and food may be offered. Never force food or water down a duckling/gosling's throat, rather, put a small dish of clean water in it's box."

Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands. [ 2] Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water. Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators, and are well known as a common park species. Their success has led to them often being considered a pest species because of their depredation of crops and issues with their noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior, and habit of begging for food (caused by human hand feeding), especially in their introduced range. Canada geese are also among the most commonly hunted waterfowl in North America and northwest Europe.

For example, Pekin ducks begin to lay eggs at around five to six months of age, which is an entire month sooner than most other ducks. Lighting also can play a part on when and how often ducks lay their eggs. More consistent lighting for a period of 15 hours a day can help ducks achieve a better egg production schedule."

"text": "Are Your Ducks and Geese Overweight? Waterfowl have a tendency to put on extra fat if given the opportunity. A reasonable amount of fat on a duck or goose in the wild is acceptable as it helps insulate them in cold water. It is also less dense than bone or muscle so they float easier in the water with extra fat. But just as with most animals, a little fat is good but too much fat is bad. Some breeds of ducks and geese are naturally lean, and some gain weight more easily. For ducks, the Runners rarely carry extra fat. Pekins are at the opposite end of the spectrum and can easily be too fat. Khaki Campbells are closer to Runners in this regard but Rouen, Buff, Blue Swedish and Cayuga are closer to a Pekin.

"text": "(Image from Wikimedia Commons. ) The average time for a goose egg to hatch is thirty days after it has been laid. There are variations in species, but for domesticated geese, the average incubation time is a month. Geese make incredibly good parents and usually are fully capable of taking care of their own eggs, so there is generally no need for incubators like with chickens or game birds. Size Geese lay an average of 12 eggs in a clutch. They do not lay them all on the same day, so some eggs may hatch a day or two later than others. Season Unlike chickens, geese only lay their eggs in the spring. In order to keep them healthy, it's best to have a ratio of one gander to three geese. Turning Goose eggs need to be turned every day. Some breeders will mark all freshly lain eggs to be sure the goose is turning them herself."

Specific complaints include livers swollen to many times their normal size, impaired liver function, expansion of the abdomen making it difficult for birds to walk, death if the force feeding is continued, and scarring of the esophagus. In modern gavage-based foie gras production, force feeding takes place 12–18 days before slaughter. In 2001, the Director of the New York State Government Affairs & Public Policy Dept. for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is one of America's leading environmental activist groups, wrote a letter to then NYS Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, asking that the state's foie gras producers be prosecuted for violating animal cruelty statutes.

Canada Geese are particularly drawn to lawns for two reasons: they can digest grass, and when they are feeding with their young, manicured lawns give them a wide, unobstructed view of any approaching predators. So they are especially abundant in parks, airports, golf courses, and other areas with expansive lawns. Back to top Food In spring and summer, geese concentrate their feeding on grasses and sedges, including skunk cabbage leaves and eelgrass. During fall and winter, they rely more on berries and seeds, including agricultural grains, and seem especially fond of blueberries. They’re very efficient at removing kernels from dry corn cobs. Two subspecies have adapted to urban environments and graze on domesticated grasses year round. Back to top Nesting Nest Placement On the ground, usually on a muskrat mound or other slightly elevated site, near water.

Geologists have used two main types of evidence to learn about Earth's interior: direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves. The three main layers of Earth are : the crust, the mantle, and the core. These layers vary greatly in size, composition, temperature and pressure. The crust is a layer of solid rock that includes both dry land and the ocean floor. Earth's mantle is made up of rock that is very hot, but solid. Scientists divide the mantle into layers based on physical characteristics. The core is made mostly of the metals iron and nickel."

"text": "\"By Jane Palmer18 March 2015Story has it that many hundreds of years ago, Tanovo, chief of the Fijian island Ono, was very partial to a late afternoon stroll. Each day he would walk along the beach, watch the sun go down and undoubtedly contemplate this paradise on Earth. The cultural memory was right, and our scientific surveys were wrong But one day Tanovo’s rival, chief of the volcano Nabukelevu, pushed his mountain up and blocked Tanovo’s view of the sunset. Enraged at this, and robbed of the pacifying effects of his daily meditation, Tanovo wove giant coconut-fibre baskets and began to remove earth from the mountain. His rival, however, caught Tanovo and chased him away. Tanovo, in his flight, dropped earth at the islands of Dravuni and Galoa. When geologist Patrick Nunn first heard this myth, it made sense that it described the volcanic eruption of Nabukelevu, with the associated ash falls on other islands in the Kadavu group. But his scientific investigation of the region concluded that the volcano had not erupted for 50,000 years, long before the island was first inhabited around 2000 B. C. The myth, it seemed, was simply a story—not a description of previous events. Then, two years later, when diggers carved out a road near the base of the volcano, they uncovered pieces of ancient pottery buried underneath a metre-deep layer of volcanic ash. “ This clearly demonstrated that the volcano had erupted within the last 3,000 years while humans lived here,” says Nunn, a professor at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. “"

"text": "A Day in the Life of a Geophysicist A geophysicist must have a strong science background, a curious mind, and a fascination with natural phenomena to succeed. Geophysicists measure, examine, and explore the physical properties of earth, from below the ground to the atmosphere, from the depths of the ocean to the tops of volcanoes. Daily duties include studying readouts of measurement equipment, examining natural phenomena (such as tidal waves and electromagnetic fields), and writing reports which correlate the two. Geophysics is an academic field which crosses over into the practical arena in a number of areas. Specialization is significant early on—when applying for jobs—in geophysics. For example, the work a seismologist does—studying seismic readings and trying to predict earthquakes—is like that of the tectnophysicist, who studies the movement of tectonic plates, but very unlike what a volcanologist does, measuring underearth temperatures and examining other readings which might predict the formation or eruption of volcanoes. Some geophysicists work with gravity, others with electronic fields. Most of the work of each of the specialties is done primarily in the lab, with some field work. Geophysicists often have to rush to a spot on the globe to examine an immediate phenomenon; unlike geologists, they do less steady on-site work. Geologists also analyze fairly static systems; geophysicists usually examine systems in flux."

"text": "Polar-wandering is a topic that has been viewed differently by geologists over the past several years. Some geologists believed that the continents moved, and some believed that the poles moved (Le Grand, 1988, p.143). No matter how people believed polar-wandering took place, no one can know for certain exactly the path of polar-wandering; it is all estimation. Geologists can study the apparent paths and make scientific conclusions about their findings, but there is no way to know for certain if they are 100% correct. It is now believed that the continents move and the pole stay fixed, and the apparent paths of polar-wandering are fairly accurate but geologists cannot say for certain that the data is infallible. Nor is their anyway to know that the beliefs and knowledge surrounding polar-wandering will not again change in a few years (Le Grand, 1988, 153). This essay discusses the way polar-wandering is believed to exist today, and the scientific knowledge that changed past beliefs into those which are held today. This link provide information about the poles, pole shifts, and theories about pole shifts. It was believed that the position of the earth’s magnetic poles must change progressively through time, and they called this phenomenon polar wandering, although it was later discovered that this was the incorrect way to look at polar-wandering (Marshak, 2001, p. 60). The earth magnetic field is created by the “convective flow of liquid iron alloy in the Earth’s outer core [which] creates an electric current that generates a magnetic field”, as seen in the above image (Marshak, 2001, p. 58)."

Lee Lerner [email protected] Draft Copy of Published Work Originally Published: 2002. ( Updated: 2010, 2013) See endnotes for publication and citation information. Continental drift, in the context of the modern theory of plate tectonics, is explained by the movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere (the molten, ductile, upper portion of the Earth's mantle). Precisely used, the term \"\"continental drift\"\" is actually rooted in antiquated concepts regarding the structure of the Earth. Today, geophysicists and geologists explain the movement or drift of the continents within the context of plate tectonic theory. The visible continents, a part of the lithospheric plates upon which they ride, shift slowly over time as a result of the forces driving plate tectonics. Moreover, plate tectonic theory is so robust in its ability to explain and predict geological processes that it is equivalent in many regards to the fundamental and unifying principles of evolution in biology, and nucleosynthesis in physics and chemistry. Earthquakes, such as the offshore undersea quake generating a powerful tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 are explained by the movement of tectonic plates."

I consider mudlogging as a compulsory pre-requisite for wellsite geologist. It might get boring but it helps to understand the interaction between drilling and geology, namely a borehole. A well site geologist MUST understand how the cuttings, the cores, the fluids and the measurements obtained by logging and mudlogging companies are obtained. To have been on wellsite is as well a pre-requisite before being an office geologist, either pure regional geologist or reservoir geologist (which I recommend you). So first, get the theory, then learn practical things and progress, after 1-2 years, you will know the same if not more than a petroleum geologist. Ellen · 2 years ago0 0 Comment When people think of what a geologist does, most folks think they're people who look for gas and oil, or gold and other precious commodities, or maybe the paleontologists who hunt for dinosaurs."

However, the Grand Canyon has been an especially important place for the study of geology. Considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and the planet’s foremost example of canyon-cutting erosion, geologists over the past century have worked hard to unravel its mysteries. Because the Canyon so clearly lays out many layers of the earth’s crust, geologists from around the world have been drawn here, many making important scientific discoveries and changing the way that people understand our planet, how it was formed and how it continues to change. A Second Great Age of Discovery was launched in the 19th century from a growing interest in natural history, innovations in geography and biology, and the development of new scientific fields such as geology and anthropology."

"text": "\"What are Phase 2 Environmental Assessments? Phase II Environmental reports Phase 2 Environmental Assessments or Studies, also known as: Phase 2 Environmental Surveys or Audits, are usually done when they are recommended in a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report. Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment reports are sometimes required when a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) is found during the Phase 1 Environmental Assessment process. Phase 2 Environmental Assessments consist of collecting soil samples to screen for chemical or metal contamination. This sampling is conducted by drill rig, hydraulic push, hand auger or backhoe, depending on site specific conditions. Phase 2 Environmental reports can also include sampling of groundwater and surface water. This testing is recommended when there is a significant potential for the existence of an environmental liability that can affect the value of a property. Environmental liabilities are costs associated with regulatory-mandated cleanup, disposal of regulated-waste and civil liability. Civil liability occurs when the contamination has migrated offsite or tenants sue over exposure to hazardous materials. Phase 2 Environmental reports AAI conducts Phase Two reports at sites where there is known or significantly-potential soil and/or groundwater contamination."

In addition, ecologists tend to specialize in a particular field of ecology, and focusing one's graduate studies and gaining hands-on experience in that field is also crucial to obtaining job opportunities. This hands-on experience can be done in many different ways, including internships and/or postdoctoral studies. Finally, many ecologist are a part of a university or college, which requires a Ph D to teach. What does an Ecologist do? Ecologists are scientists that study the intricate relationships that exist between organizations in a particular environment or groups of environments. They study not only the flora and fauna in a given geographic area, but they also pay attention to the other physical characteristics and dynamics of the location, like climate, weather patterns, altitude, pollution, soil types and quality, water systems, etc. As with many scientists, ecologists conduct research in the field as well as in the lab. Ecologists may study ecology in the field, then perform their writing or other experiments in the lab. Or they may try to reproduce conditions from the wild in the lab, or use a computer simulation."

Update: Ok, thank you all for your answers.1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: GB is an abbreviation for Gigabyte. A byte is a unit of measure that describes the storage capacity of an electronic item. If you remember from high school science, the prefix Giga is often used with metric units of measure (such as a Gigameter or Gigawatt) that means 1 billion. There for, 1GB = 1billion bytes. The reason that the values are 1024 and not 1000 is to do with the structure of computer storage. Computer storage is based on a base 2 structure, meaning that all information is either stored as a 1 or a 0 (two options, hence base 2). A single 1 or 0 is called a bit. Eight bits make up one byte."

Most Windows XP desktop computers came with a 100 or 200 megabyte drive. Few Windows 8 computers come with less than 500 gigabytes and more powerful machines often come with 1,000 or 2,000 gigabytes. Disk Storage Basics Computer hard drives use an old tried and true technology that originated with some of the earliest computers. A metal, glass or ceramic disk gets coated with a magnetic material like iron oxide, then a motor spins the disk rapidly. One or more small electromagnets pass over the rotating disk to record data, then later, the same electromagnet is used to read the data back off the spinning platter. This technology has been refined over the years to pack more data on smaller platters using better magnetic materials and far more precise sensors, increasing the storage density from a few megabytes to 500 or 1,000 gigabytes. Disk Capacity Measurements As the density of storage increases, the units of measure change. Data gets stored on the disk surface as a series of zeros and ones, called bits.

"text": "HD DVR Prev NEXTDVRs advertise anywhere from 35-hour to over 300-hour recording capabilities. It's worth noting that these units can record programs at varying levels of quality -- and the advertised capacity usually refers to the number of hours it can hold at the lowest quality setting. As an example, Ti Vo can record programs at four different quality levels: basic, medium, high, or best. A 40-hour Ti Vo unit can hold 40 hours at the basic quality level, but only about 11 hours at the best setting. The hard drive in a 40-hour Ti Vo is approximately 40 gigabytes in size; on the basic setting, one hour translates to 1 gigabyte, while at the highest setting one hour uses 4 gigabytes. Newer DVR systems can record HDTV signals. The Series3 HD Ti Vo can record up to 300 hours of standard television (on the Basic quality setting) or up to 32 hours in HD format. So what's the difference? If you've ever seen full-motion video on the Web, you know how images can get blocky and distorted. This happens on DVR recordings made at low quality levels, particularly if there is a lot of movement in the image."

Techopedia explains Gigabyte (G or GByte)One byte contains eight bits comprised of a string of 0s and 1s, which hold 256 values ranging from 0 to 255. Generally, a byte is the number of bits used to encode a single text character. According to the International System of Units (SI from the French: Système International d'Unités), the giga prefix refers to one-billion (10 9 or 1,000,000,000) bytes.

I used to think a single gigabyte of space was a momentous amount of storage. A vast cornucopia of unending folders and files that could go on forever. I was wrong, very, very wrong. As technology progresses, the need for data storage increases exponentially with each generation of consoles.

There is a balance between the risk associated with surgery versus the benefit gained if all goes well. With any surgery there is the potential risk that the patient may be permanently worse after the procedure.

Myelomalacia is situation where the benefit of surgery is highly questionable and a dog is not a good surgical candidate.

"text": "What is gastroparesis? Most published literature describes gastroparesis as delayed gastric emptying without a mechanical obstruction. At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), our definition of gastroparesis is stricter. We consider gastroparesis to be a gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorder when there is objective delay in gastric emptying in the absence of any of the following: Mechanical obstruction Biochemical disorder (electrolyte imbalance, diabetes, hypothyroidism)Gastric infection (e.g. H. pylori gastritis, cytomegalovirus [CMV] gastritis, bacterial overgrowth)Medication side effect Significant non-infectious gastroduodenal inflammation (e.g. eosinophilic gastroenteritis, lymphocytic gastritis, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, vasculitis)Causes The term gastroparesis is ambiguous because it implies a specific condition — paralysis of the stomach — without addressing causes or severity. The exact cause of gastroparesis is unknown. The stomach is not paralyzed. Instead, gastroparesis seems to be both a muscle and sensory problem (neuromuscular disorder). Factors that may contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms include: antral hypomotility, gastric dysrhythmia, impaired gastric fundic accommodation, antral distention, visceral hypersensitivity and psychological disturbance. Signs and symptoms Symptoms of gastroparesis mirror some symptoms of delayed gastric emptying and include: Early satiety (feeling full after only a few bites of food, inability to finish meals)Abdominal bloating (upper abdomen feels or actually looks distended, tight after eating)Abdominal pain or “burning” between the lower part of the breastbone and the navel Nausea (urge to vomit, queasy, “sick to stomach” sensation)Indigestion (combination of “burning,” feeling bloated, queasy after eating)Episodic vomiting Fear of eating Feeding difficulty in infants and young children Weight loss These symptoms, however, are non-specific and do not distinguish gastroparesis from a mechanical, infectious or non-infectious inflammatory or biochemical disorder that also causes delayed gastric emptying. To make diagnosing GI disorders even more challenging, these same symptoms may also occur in patients with normal gastric emptying, the degree of delay in gastric emptying does not predict symptom severity, and correlation between symptom reductions and improved emptying cannot be always demonstrated."

"text": "IBS Specialist or Gastroenterologist: What’s the Difference? There are IBS Specialists and there are Gastroenterologists. IBS specialists are experts in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A gastroenterologist may diagnose IBS, but that will only tell you what you already know, that your bowel irritates you. To the IBS specialist the label of IBS only serves as a starting point for further investigation, nothing more. The IBS specialist focuses on assessing and diagnosing the cause of your digestive problems, not on the gross structural integrity of the digestive tract. Rather than focusing on the patients symptoms, or simply treating the symptoms, the IBS specialist is devoted to identifying the condition or conditions in the patient that are causing the symptoms. What Exactly Does a Gastroenterologist Do? People often make assumptions about medical specialists and their areas of expertise. This is certainly true with gastroenterology, where many people assume that gastroenterologists are experts in all things related to the digestive tract."

( April 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In Major League Baseball, the general manager ( GM) of a team typically controls player transactions and bears the primary responsibility on behalf of the ballclub during contract discussions with players. The general manager is also normally the person who hires and fires the coaching staff, including the field manager who acts as the head coach. In baseball, the term manager used without qualification almost always refers to the field manager, not the general manager. Before the 1960s, and in some rare cases today, a person with the general manager title in sports has also borne responsibility for the non-player operations of the ballclub, such as ballpark administration and broadcasting.

Versus The Competition: The Corvette Z06 is easily a match for sports cars twice its cost. In the speed, looks and ability departments, it’s top of the pack — but its interior appointments aren’t up to luxury-brand snuff. The Chevrolet Corvette is entering its fifth year of production as the C7, the seventh generation of the top GM sports car, and it's enjoyed a highly successful run thus far. Gorgeous and astonishingly fast, with handling that's free from excuses, a base Corvette is a sports car bargain, a machine that performs well above its station in life. So what happens when you pump a Vette up to more extreme levels? You get the Z06. Featuring a supercharged V-8 engine, an adjustable suspension, tunable exhaust and all kinds of go-fast aero bits, the Z06 is the top performance model in the Corvette range — until the rumored ZR1 appears for a limited engagement and an all-new, mid-engine Corvette debuts as the C8 sometime soon. I spent a week in a new 2018 Corvette Z06 coupe during an unseasonably warm autumn spell to see just how different it is from lesser versions. Still a Looker — on the Outside Until now, I'd only ever driven convertible versions of this generation of the Corvette, and while the soft-top version is attractive in its own way, the coupe really is better-looking."

But he has been a resident of Connecticut since 1985 when he moved to the Northeast to work at CBS full-time, now serving as the network’s signature voice, having broadcast Super Bowl XLI, the 2007 Final Four in Atlanta and 21 Masters Tournaments. With his busy travel schedule and young family, Nantz’s time for golf is very limited, but he still greatly enjoys the game he played in high school and college and has become good friends with former president Bush, often playing with him at his summer home in Maine. Nantz is a member of both Winged Foot Country Club in New York and the Stanwich Club in Connecticut, where he sometimes plays with former Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, who Nantz claims to have a single figure handicap. In the midst of his busy spring schedule, Nantz took time to talk with Golfing Magazine writer Art Stricklin about his background, his love for the game of golf, his famous rounds and fun times. Golfing Magazine: Playing golf in college, when did broadcasting enter the picture? Jim Nantz: To be honest, that is what I always wanted to do. My goal really had nothing to do with professional golf except for the chance to broadcast it. That was my obsession from early on. I was driven to work for CBS and be a golf announcer for this very network."

"text": "\"For people who like a little zoot in their rides, the most important part of a 1999 deal between General Motors and Honda is that it has resulted in a \"\"sport-cute\"\" that could be hot, or at least hottish. The fact that there's a barrel full of corporate intrigue, speculation, and posturing going on around the deal is a bonus. But before that, the new vehicle. That would be the Saturn Vue with the 3.5-liter V-6 designed and built by Honda that will supply 250 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 242 pound-feet of torque at 4500 rpm and is supposed to deliver a 0-to-60 time of about seven seconds through a five-speed automatic transmission. That's 10 more horsepower than Honda lists for its own Pilot sport-ute and 10 fewer than the Acura MDX sport-ute can claim, although both use the same basic powerplant. This won't make you the terror of your intersection runoffs, but it should make you the Wyatt Earp of sport-cutes. It's also a smoother, more powerful engine (by 69 hp) than the GM 3.0-liter V-6 it replaces. This engine will be available as an option with regular versions of the Vue and as the heart of Saturn's Red Line performance package, pictured here. In all, GM thinks it will be able to move every one of the 50,000 engines per year it will get from Japan. If you think this deal was done when GM phoned Tokyo one day and ordered engines like so many pizzas (with variable valve timing, please), then you live a sane and sensible life."

"text": "\"share Dynamic Chiropractic – August 1, 2014, Vol. 32, Issue 15The Gluteal-Knee Connection By William E. Morgan, DC and Amin Javid, DCThe underlying causes of knee pain and dysfunction are rarely isolated to the knee. The knee is a relatively stable joint with limited intrinsic ability to adapt to aberrant motion. Usually when there is a problem with the knee, it originates in the foot / ankle complex or the hip region. The foot and the hip have the ability to adapt and accommodate to changes in gait, terrain and directional forces much better than the knee. In our last article, we shared how the gluteal muscles contribute to hip extension and the transference of motion and power to the leg through the knee in a sagittal (flexion / extension motion) plane. In this installment, let's discuss how the gluteus maximus (GM) muscle also affects the transverse (internal and external rotational) planes of motion of the lower extremities. Keep in mind that although we are emphasizing the gluteal muscles and knee, it is our intent to convey the overall interconnectedness of the body. The lower extremity is an aggregate of many structures that work together to produce locomotion. Anatomy and Function of the Gluteus Maximus Figure 1: Schematic of the gluteus maximus."

He took a little time to observe the operation. Then he blew it up. “I spent six months doing what I’d do with any startup company. I spent six months looking at things, and realized I didn’t have the right people here,” said Lacob, during a lengthy interview with The Chronicle conducted just prior to the start of the NBA Finals. “ We needed a lot more discipline in management. A lot more talent in management. ”So, Lacob — alongside his co-owner, the Hollywood mogul Peter Guber — went about rebuilding a franchise that had not won a championship since 1975. Four short years later, the Warriors are playing in the NBA Finals, looking to win basketball’s top prize for the first time in four decades. How did Lacob do it?"

If only the suits would listen to our better judgment they’d be rolling in the do-re-me and we’d be rolling down the road in our dream cars. With certain brands, the same names keep popping up. Talk about reviving Lincoln, and 2002’s Continental concept is cited as being brand-true, along with the Mark IX coupe from the previous year and the later Mark X convertible based on the Thunderbird/LS platform. Now comes word in a story leaked to the Automotive News, that Cadillac will not be putting the Ciel show car, another high profile show car from a luxury maker that enthusiasts hoped would see production. Neither the Ciel nor any sedan derived from that open four door car will be made. People working on the Ciel based flagship have been reassigned to other projects. Cadillac Sixteen The reason given was that Cadillac is currently developing a RWD flagship sedan intended to go toe to toe with the 7 Series BMW, S Class Mercedes Benz and LS Lexus starting in late 2016 and that the Ciel didn’t, in the words of AN “offer enough brand-building pizzazz to justify the investment”. One of AN’s sources said that managers at GM decided that the Ciel, which would have been easily over $100,000, wasn’t a big enough “departure” from the planned 7/S/LS competitor, already under development. Reportedly, styling elements from the Ciel will make it to the planned sedan, but then the new CTS already shows some of that influence."

They beat Ford not with a frontal assault on the Model T but by offering a larger, heavier, flashier car. They thought they could do the same to BMW. But, even as the Bavarians packed on the inches and pounds, car buyers “in the know” saw the additional size and weight of Cadillacs as a sign that the General either lacked technical competence or just didn’t “get it.” Well, maybe the “new GM” really is different. With the 2013 Cadillac ATS, the company has pulled out all the stops to directly challenge the BMW 3-Series with a rear-wheel-drive car that is—surprise—a few tenths of an inch smaller and a few pounds lighter. Could the people who tried to sell us the Cimmaron have gotten this one right? Standard 17-inch wheels.

For most minor league general managers, a steady paycheck and a love for the game are what will keep them working among tomorrow's best and brightest players. What a General Manager Does In baseball, a general manager, or GM, is not an on-field position. The GM manages budgets and personnel, hires and fires coaches, oversees player facilities and otherwise runs the business side of the team. In the minors, GMs have closer ties to the overall organization than their major league counterparts. Minor league GMs may perform several small jobs during the game or in the off-season. Many Hats Being a GM in the minors usually is more customer service oriented than in the majors. Mike Dunn, GM of the Class-A Rome (Georgia) Braves, once told Baseball America that his GM duties had made him \"\"a business manager, a ticket taker, a garbage man, a salesman and a spokesman.\"\" He even helped flip burgers at the concession stand. Unlike in the majors, minor-league GMs have little to do with what's happening on the field during play."

The Fiero was designed by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a sports car. The Fiero was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and also the first mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U. S. manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as plastic body panels were radical for their time. Other features included hidden headlamps and, initially, integrated stereo speakers within the driver and passenger headrests. A total of 370,168 Fieros were produced over the relatively short production run of five years; by comparison, 163,000 Toyota MR2s were sold in their first five years. [ 1] At the time, its reputation suffered from criticisms over performance, reliability and safety issues. The word fiero means \"\"very proud\"\" in Italian, and \"\"wild\"\", \"\"fierce\"\", or \"\"ferocious\"\" in Spanish. Alternative names considered for the car were Sprint (which ended up on a Chevrolet car instead), P3000, Pegasus, Fiamma, Sunfire (a name which would later be applied to another car ), and Firebird XP. [ 2] The Fiero 2M4 (two-seat, mid-engine, four-cylinder) was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984."

It's an exciting time wrapped around the fun of All-Star Weekend. With the Warriors so far ahead of everyone, teams are going to be in pursuit of big upgrades. There are some big names in talks that are being rumored, while the overall structure is in flux. First we'll look at ten players who could be on the move at the NBA trade deadline, and then give you some tips on how to navigate the slippery slopes of the rumor mill.10 PLAYERS WHO COULD BE ON THE MOVEIn no particular order... Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers This entire thing is slightly unbelievable and very complicated. If you told me back in October that Blake Griffin could be moved at the deadline, I would ask you if Steve Ballmer suddenly had all his money stolen like he was in \"\"Now You See Me,\"\" in the role Michael Caine plays. Instead, remarkably, despite his being an MVP candidate before his injury, despite his not being available for the next two months with a broken hand suffered when punching a team staffer, and despite his being in his prime, Griffin is reportedly on the block . That's not just speculation, either. Yahoo Sports and Forbes have both reported that the Clippers have reached out to at least explore the idea. Talks with Denver about a potential swap are just that, talks, that reportedly the Clippers weren't interested in."

Managers are typically assisted by a staff of assistant coaches whose responsibilities are specialized. Field managers are typically not involved in off-field personnel decisions or long-term club planning, responsibilities that are instead held by a team's general manager. Duties [ edit]The manager chooses the batting order and starting pitcher before each game, and makes substitutions throughout the game – among the most significant being those decisions regarding when to bring in a relief pitcher. How much control a manager takes in a game's strategy varies from manager to manager and from game to game. Some managers control pitch selection, defensive positioning, decisions to bunt, steal, pitch out, etc., while others designate an assistant coach or a player (often the catcher) to make some or all of these decisions."

A team-by-team preview of the 2015 non-waiver deadline: AL EASTYankees As noted by Joel Sherman of the New York Post, GM Brian Cashman rarely sacrifices top prospects for a major fix at the deadline. Yet, Cashman’s buildup of the farm system has left the Yankees not only with internal solutions at positions they want to address, but also prospects to trade. The rotation, for example, remains fragile, but the bullpen includes two potential starters — Adam Warren, who is proven, and Bryan Mitchell, who is not. A third, top prospect Luis Severino, has a 1.79 ERA in nine starts at Triple-A. Still, it might make sense for the Yankees to trade for a starter. Their organization is deep in outfielders, left-handed relievers and right-handed starters, and not all of their young players will make it to Yankee Stadium. Cashman can be as creative as he wants to be."

In fact, there's an assortment of teams that need to find an upgrade at the game's most critical position. Some are undoubtedly in rebuilding mode, while others are mired in mediocrity. Let's answer the most compelling quarterback questions heading into the 2014 season. Who Will Start for the Vikings in 2014?1 of 13Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sport The Minnesota Vikings have a deadly, three-way quarterback conundrum on their hands. Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel and Josh Freeman have all played in 2013, and none have showed signs of staying-power as a franchise signal-caller. Ponder, the team's 2011 first-round selection, has completed a career-high 63.7 percent of his passes this year, but he's tossed six touchdowns with nine interceptions and has a 74.9 rating. Essentially, he's yet to show noticeable development as a passer in his third NFL season. Cassel was efficient in the win in London over the Pittsburgh Steelers as he threw for 248 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. However, after that, he was picked twice in a home loss to the Carolina Panthers."

The reflected light is very diffuse, and matches the colour temperature of the ambient (or main) light. Except when it is used as a main front light on a backlit subject (and similar situations) it doesn't add any noticeable highlights or shadows of its own, apart from a soft catchlight in the eyes (or other elements of the subject that have specular reflection). Used as a main light source, especially as a front light, it may be too \"\"flat\"\". Its main failing, though, is that in order to provide enough reflected light for many shots, it needs to be very close to the subject in relation to its size. It may not be possible to both frame and light the shot the way you want using a white reflector. The silver reflector has a lot in common with the white reflector, except that it is more reflective and usually much more directional. The light from a silver reflector is \"\"hotter\"\" (it is more likely to cause noticeable highlights and shadows), but it also has a greater reach (the reflector can be farther away from the subject)."

They are also known as reflection telescopes and refraction telescopes. These are mainly optical devices, which use visible light to produce images of distant objects, such as planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies. In this article, we’re going to discuss the origin and the basic operation of reflector and refractor telescopes, and their differences. Refractor Telescope Refractor was the first kind of telescope to be made. It was first manufactured by Hans Lippershey, a German-Dutch lens maker who built it as a toy. Although it is unclear exactly when he invented it, it appears as a scientific device on 1608. The first astronomical telescope was built in 1608 by non-other than the great scientist Galileo Galilei. Refractor telescopes use only lenses in its design. The whole process of magnification is done using refraction."

A Newtonian reflector with a 6-i nch (150mm) mirror will give you good views of the brighter galaxies and nebulae, and should also perform well when you train it on the Moon and planets.

The reflection method soon replaced the refraction after it was proved with numerous successes, the most visible in the petroleum industry. Lets Start With a Single Subsurface Interface The key is to develop an equation which represents the time it takes for a particular ray to travel through this single layer. First, the seismic velocity through the layer of material that the wave is propagating needs to be lower than the layer directly below, which we will assume is infinitely thick. Therefore, just by simple time-velocity relation and geometry: This can be re-written (dropping the subscripts) as: V 2t 2= x 2+4h 2so V 2t 2/4h 2� x 2/4h 2= 1which has a hyperbolic form: Now, What Does That Arrival Time Mean Anyway? Well, the first thing to note is what you can do with the hyperbola. A hyperbola has an asymptote along which the hyperbola approaches. The equation of this line is Therefore, the asymptote for the travel time curve has a slope of the reciprocal of the velocity. Another approach to analysing the data is to get v elocity and thickness from a plot of x 2 v t 2. Now recall: By squaring both sides, the equation resembles closely the equation of a straight line."

"text": "MARIJUANA GROW LIGHTING BASICSBefore you pick out the right grow light for your setup, there are a few basic terms to become familiar with. Every grow light is rated by the number of WATTS that is uses. This number tells you how much power, or electricity, it will take to run each grow light for an hour of use. The next term to become familiar with is LUMENS. The number of lumens determines how much light is being produced by every grow light. For example, a standard incandescent 100 Watt household bulb will produce around 1600 lumens where a 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium (HPS) grow light will put out about 50000 lumens. By dividing the number of lumens by the watts consumed, this will give you what is called the efficacy, or efficiency, of your grow light. While the 400W HPS bulb will use about 4X more power than the 100W household bulb, it can generate more than 30X the light output in lumens. This means that the HPS light is running at least 30X more efficiently than your standard incandescent lamp bulb. All bulbs will decrease in total lumen output the more they are used but this happens over many months."

Andrews a Uta Krogmann b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2008.09.085 Get rights and content Abstract This paper analyzes the 1992 and 2003 US Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey microdata files to show the extent to which certain heating, cooling, lighting, and window technologies are entering use, and the resulting impacts on the intensity of energy use. Excepting the case of fluorescent lights, no technology dominates the entire market but instead each conquers a specific niche. Most of the buildings in which these technologies are installed do not have lower-than-average energy intensity, measured as annual energy use per square meter of floor space. The exceptional technology that does measurably correlate with reduced energy intensity is daylighting. These results suggest that technologies are adopted to serve comfort or quality objectives rather than to save energy, or that buildings’ users confound the designers’ intentions. Decision makers thus should improve operating and maintenance practices, invest in building commissioning, and rely more heavily on passive design features to save energy. Previous article Next article Keywords Commercial buildings Energy intensity United States A tenet of the green building movement is that innovation is a win–win, because it can both reduce environmental impacts and enhance the occupant experience. Leaders in the movement make great efforts to dismantle barriers to the diffusion of innovation. Innovations that influence energy intensity—energy use per square meter—are prized because they have the potential to reduce both operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Many architectural, mechanical and electrical technologies are now available to influence energy intensity."

All telescopes can be used in some capacity for both purposes, but some telescopes are best suited for only one use. Astronomical telescopes, for example, should be as large in aperture (diameter) as possible, to gather more of the faint light which travels such a long distance from its source. Terrestrial telescopes can be built much smaller, for portability and convenience, since they have lots of light to work with and don't need so much magnification. Most people settle on a compromise between these extremes, depending on just what they want from a telescope. Telescope Types Telescopes have progressed through many changes over the years. Many modern designs look quite unlike the traditional image of a telescope. We recommend choosing telescopes not just by technical design, but by suitability for particular uses. Telescope optical designs are many and varied; some commercial designs are hybrids of several basic types, but most telescopes on the market today fit into one of the following groups: The Refractor - The familiar long tube, with the lens in front and the eyepiece in back, has in modern times evolved into two distinctly different kinds of telescopes.

A. made the original 200 for a brief time in 1950 and early 1951, while Coleman Canada made this particular model for a longer period of time, though its colour scheme was different. The American version depicted here, dated December 1950, has a nickel-plated fount and a painted red top. In the US, this was the forerunner to Coleman's longest-lasting single-mantle lantern: the 200A. Christmas Lantern - 200 & 200A The 200A was the immediate follower to Coleman's 200 lantern, and was one of the most successful in the industry. Selling from 1951 to 1983, this unit shipped in the millions. The final 200 models and early 200As both had this same color scheme - a red ventilator top with a green-painted fount. This aesthetic led to the nickname \"\"Christmas Lantern\"\" given by its collectors. The main distinguishment of the two is that the 200A, pictured here, has a Coleman decal on its fount; the most significant change is that the fount of the 200A was steel as opposed to brass. The 200A is a common single-mantle lantern; all five of our Christmas lanterns are dated various months of 1951.220D This twin-mantle 220D lantern is dated B1950, which means it was made in the second half of that year. The fount is nickel-plated brass, but models in 1951 were painted green instead. This lantern has never been lit and comes with all of its original packaging, which is in great condition."

Goldfinches are between 11 and 14 centimetres (4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches) long and weigh from 11.8 to 13.3 grams (1/3 to 1/2 ounce). In spring and summer, the breeding male is bright yellow with black wings, cap and tail. Males have narrow white wing bars. Breeding females are mostly yellow and are brightest on the throat and breast. Winter males and females are brownish or greyish above, but the male has a stronger yellow wash on the head. Immature birds are similar to the breeding female in colour but they are cinnamon above and on the wing bars. Females have dusky wings and two white wing bars."

While a guitarist can pick up an American made, Fender Stratocaster (an objectively great, professional quality instrument) for around $1,299 dollars, this is not the case when it comes to drummers. When you include a basic set, add cymbals, add the hardware (cymbal stands, drum throne, bass drum pedal, etc), and everything else needed for a standard kit, drums can get quite expensive. A complete, mid- to entry-level kit can easily cost upwards of $1,000 dollars, and we aren’t even talking about real nice ones that are made here in the states. So what are some of the most expensive kits that are out there today? Let’s take a look at five different drum sets that will cost you a pretty penny.

Young Boris makes quite an impact on the life of the lead character Theo Decker, although it hasn't been revealed who will play the young Theo quite yet. In the original Pulitzer Prize winning book by Donna Tartt, the story follows 13-year-old Theo Decker, who was visiting the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art with his mother, to see an exhibition of Dutch masterpieces, which includes Carel Fabritius's The Goldfinch. Theo's life is upended when a bomb explodes in the museum as part of a deadly terrorist attack that kills his mother and several others. Amid the confusion, Theo comes across an old man in the rubble, who gives him a ring and a strange message and points to what Theo thinks is The Goldfinch painting, which he steals before making his escape. Theo meets young Boris in Las Vegas, after his deadbeat father finds him living with the Barbours following his mother's death, and takes him to Sin City. Boris is the cosmopolitan son of a Ukraine emigre, and they both share a bond since their mothers have died, and their fathers are both essentially absentee parents.

I don't know of any birds or many creatures that are able to change their colors without growing new fur or feathers. There are some exceptions like a few fish, some reptiles, and the pale people who visit Tan-O-Rama. The male goldfinches molt into their brilliant spring outfits. New, colorful feathers push out the worn, dull winter plumes. For the next few weeks we will be seeing goldfinches in various stages of molting and they will look a bit odd until the process is complete. But eventually, even the Connecticut male finches will acquire their signature gold feathers. And I've heard that in some CT towns, like Cos Cob and New Canaan, the goldfinches' feathers are made of real gold. But that's only a rumor."

Feeding Goldfinches into late Spring will give you the best opportunity to view the males brilliant yellow and black color combination. Nyjer seed, sometimes call thistle seed, will keep this bird visiting your backyard feeder while keeping the larger, more nuisance birds, from breaking your bird seed budget. Description About 5 inches in size, the male changes from a yellowish brown, with light yellow on the face and chin, wings black with white bars. In summer, the male has a bright yellow body, black cap, wings and tail. The females are yellowish green with black wings and tail during summer, changing to a grayish brown with very little yellow and dark brown wings with white wing bars in winter. Attracting this bird to your backyard in winter can be as easy as placing a feeder filled with nyjer seed or hulled sunflower seed. Be sure to keep your feeder stocked well into spring so that you can see the bright yellow of the male.

By Yvonne Zipp, Monitor fiction critic October 17, 2013View Caption About video ads View Caption Buy this book There’s a pretty easy test to see if Donna Tartt’s third novel, The Goldfinch, is for you. When confronted with an almost 800-page book, is your initial reaction: “If I dropped this on my foot, I could seriously do some damage,” or “Best. Spider-killing Weapon. Ever.”? If so, there is plenty of terrific fiction this fall that clocks in under 500 pages, such as James Mc Bride’s “The Good Lord Bird,” which also features an orphan and an avian metaphor. But for those who like big, twisty books, “The Goldfinch” is a hefty delight. Recommended: Famous opening lines: Take our literature quiz Tartt proved she knew how to go big with her debut novel, 1992’s much-loved cult novel,“The Secret History,” in which cloistered Classics students at a New England college turn murderous. While she averages about one book a decade, those books are steeped in a rare kind of storytelling that a certain kind of reader (namely this one) can happily get lost in. Tartt’s books submerge you for the duration until you emerge, blinking, in the sunlight at the end, wondering how the laundry pile got so big and just how many meals you might have missed."

It is an oil painting on panel of 33.5 by 22.8 cm (13.2 by 9.0 in). The work belongs to the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Subject2 Style3 Ownership4 Cultural legacy5 References6 Sources7 External links Subject [ edit]The painting is a trompe-l'œil [2] of a European goldfinch ( Carduelis carduelis) on top of its feeder that is attached to the wall. The feeder consists of two half rings and a blue container. The bird is sitting on the top ring, to which it is chained by its foot. [ 3] The painting is signed \"\" C fabritivs 1654 \"\" at the bottom. [ 4]In the 17th century, goldfinches were popular pets because they could be trained to draw water from a bowl with a miniature bucket. [ 3] The Dutch title of the painting pertains to the bird's nickname puttertje, which refers to this custom and translates literally as 'little weller'. [ 5]Style [ edit]The work was painted without major corrections, with only minor ones to the contours of the bird."

At first there was one egg and then a few days later a second one appeared. Now Mrs. Dove sits absolutely motionless on her nest all day long, except for the rare eye blink. Her mate (the skunk) has never returned to feed her. I've put out small a saucer of water, but how do I provide her with food? Should I put out some seeds? Do you think those eggs will ever hatch? What to do?-Connie, Millbrook, NYHow sweet, Connie,What a sweet visual you painted. I can just picture the mother dove nestled amongst your flowers, keeping dead still, with only her watchful eyes blinking occasionally.

Some days you get bunches and bunches, other times you might feel totally rejected by them. I recently had a conversation with a colleague who works for the Department of Natural Resources. He’s a smart guy, a wildlife biologist and what he knows about native swans is incredible, but what he knew or didn’t know about bird feeding was surprising. We were talking about the high price of seed and that he purchased some finch food and the birds didn’t come. I asked where he purchased the food from and it was a well known “big box” store. I told him that the chances were good that the seed was most likely old and finches will not eat it. Nyjer (also known as Niger and Thistle) is not grown in the US, though it is possible . Most of it comes from Singapore, Ethiopia and Burma."

Niger seed comes from a plant called the Ramtil which is native to the highlands of Ethiopia. The Ramtil plant is actually a relative of the sunflower, though, and quite wrongly, niger is often referred to as thistle seed. Niger seed is still grown in Ethiopia for export, but much of the seed imported into the UK now comes from India. What birds eat Niger seed?

Question 2: Why is the cell called the structural and functional unit of life? Answer: Cells constitute various components of plants and animals. A cell is the smallest unit of life and is capable of all living functions. Cells are the building blocks of life. This is the reason why cells are referred to as the basic structural and functional units of life. All cells vary in their shape, size, and activity they perform.

"text": "The Golgi body is a cell organelle that is part of the cellular endomembrane system found in eukaryotic cells. It is also called the Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex. The function of the Golgi body includes sorting and processing proteins. After proteins are assembled in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, they travel to the Golgi body for processing and distribution throughout the cell or to an extracellular destination. Although the structure was discovered by Camillo Golgi in the late 19th century, the function of this organele was unknown until later in the 20th century when more sophisticated microscopes became available. It was seen in both the animal and plant cells that were studied. The Golgi body is relatively large compared to other organelles, so it was clearly visible, even with the lower magnification microscopes used at the time of discovery. A stack of membrane-enclosed disks called cisternae make up the Golgi body. Proteins can travel through these cisternae as they are processed. There are four regions in each stack, beginning with the cis-Golgi and ending with the trans-Golgi, with the medial-Golgi and the endo-Golgi in between."

Learning Objectives Summarize the functions of vesicles and vacuoles in cells Key Takeaways Key Points Vesicles are small structures within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer involved in transport, buoyancy control, and enzyme storage. Lysosomes, which are found in animal cells, are the cell’s “garbage disposal.” The digestive processes take place in these, and enzymes within them aid in the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and worn-out organelles. Central vacuoles, which are found in plants, play a key role in regulating the cell’s concentration of water in changing environmental conditions. Vesicles and vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs that function in storage and transport. Other than the fact that vacuoles are somewhat larger than vesicles, there is a very subtle distinction between them: the membranes of vesicles can fuse with either the plasma membrane or other membrane systems within the cell. The membrane of a vacuole does not fuse with the membranes of other cellular components. Additionally, some agents within plant vacuoles, such as enzymes, break down macromolecules.

Janine Sherrier Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-4889 (98)00061-5 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Abstract The plant Golgi apparatus has an important role in protein glycosylation and sorting, but is also a major biosynthetic organelle that synthesises large quantities of cell wall polysaccharides. This is reflected in the organisation of the Golgi apparatus as numerous individual stacks of cisternae that are dispersed through the cell. Each stack is polarised: the shape of the cisternae and the staining of the membranes change in a cis to trans direction, and the cisternae on the trans side contain more polysaccharides. Numerous glycosyltransferases are required for the synthesis of the complex cell wall polysaccharides. Microscopy and biochemical fractionation studies suggest that these enzymes are compartmentalised within the stack. Although there is no obvious cis Golgi network, the trans -most cisterna or trans Golgi network often buds clathrin-coated and sometimes smooth dense vesicles as well. Here, vacuolar proteins are sorted from the secreted proteins and polysaccharides. This review highlights unique aspects of the organisation and function of the plant Golgi apparatus. Fundamentally similar processes probably underlie Golgi organisation in all organisms, and consideration of the plant Golgi specialisations can therefore be generally informative, as well as being of central importance to plant cell biology.

Related Information: * The Golgi apparatus is responsible for vesicle trafficking inside a cell, and amongst these vesicles there is a type called early endosomes, to which all phagocytosed or pinocytosed vesicles fuse. It is postulated that these early endosomes mature to lysosomes when lysosomal enzymes (hydrolyzing enzymes and proton pumps to create an acidic environment) synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are delivered to them.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "When the term protoplasm was first used in 1835, it referred to the clear, semi-fluid substance within the cell membrane of all living things. At that time, scientists believed that there was only one type of liquid within the cell, and that it was responsible for all functions. This concept has been revised since the development of scientific equipment has allowed researchers to discover the incredible complexity of the cell. Now, the term no longer has any specific technical significance, but is used to describe all of the matter within the walls of the cell, including the cytoplasm, nucleus and various organelles. Protoplasm is composed of 90% water, mineral salts, gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, proteins, lipids, or fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and enzymes. Within this complex unit are numerous small bodies referred to as organelles, structures which have distinct purposes. The first organelle to be discovered was the nucleus. Others include the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts and plastids. The clear, jelly-like liquid which fills the cell is now referred to as the cytoplasm. Ad The brain of the cell, the nucleus, controls all of the cell’s activities, and is responsible for the transmission of hereditary characteristics through a reproductive process of cell division called mitosis."

"text": "What does the golgi apparatus do in a plant cell? Biology Cell Structure and Function Organelles in Eukaryotic Cells3 Answers64Judy O. and 1 other Share Jan 27, 2017The Golgi apparatus function is to collect, modify, package, and distribute proteins and lipids. It is sometimes called the shipping and receiving department of the cell. It is shaped like a stack of bowls with secretory vesicles on their rims. Specifically, the Golgi apparatus functions by modifying and packaging proteins and lipids into secretory vesicles: small, spherically shaped sacs that bud from its ends. These vesicles often migrate to and merge with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside of the cell. The Golgi apparatus is present in larger numbers and is most highly developed in cells that secrete protein, such as the cells of the salivary glands or the pancreas. The Golgi (gol'je) apparatus was named for Camillo Golgi (1843–1926), an Italian histologist). Was this helpful? Let the contributor know!Yes11Meave60 Share Feb 10, 2015In higher plants, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus are involved in forming the cell plate during cytokinesis, along which the new cell walls will be manufactured."

Organelles allow for various functions to occur in the cell at the same time. Before discussing the functions of organelles within a eukaryotic cell, let us first examine two important components of the cell: the plasma membrane and the cytoplasm.

Normally jelly does, but they make it a certain way since it's mixed with the peanut butter and refrigerating peanut butter makes it all hard to spread.

Or am I just incorrect in my knowledge? A. The producers always used the newest model available for the squad car. The cars were supplied free of charge by a nearby Ford dealer, and whenever the next year's model came out, it was sent to the studio and the old one was returned to the dealer who re-painted it and sold it as a used car. Altogether, there were about 10 different cars used throughout the run of the series and it's spinoffs.

I was going to just check out the place but when I tasted this I had to buy it.34 comments share save hide reportall 34 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?

The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing 30 to 50 cm tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with four leaflets, each leaflet is 1 to 7 cm long and 1 to 3 cm broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm across, yellow with reddish veining. Hypogaea means \"\"under the earth\"\"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground. Continued stalk growth then pushes the ovary underground where the mature fruit develops into a legume pod, the peanut – a classical example of geocarpy. Pods are 3 to 7 cm long, containing 1 to 4 seeds. Peanuts are known by many other local names such as earthnuts, ground nuts, goober peas, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts."

OK lets break the brain down into three areas; the hindbrain, midbrain and forebrain. Hindbrain From an evolutionary perspective, the hindbrain is the oldest part of our brain and is located deep within our head and on top of our spinal cord. Because this was our first and most basic brain (way back before we were cave people) it controls most of our most basic functions. There are three structures you should know in the hindbrain.

In this case, the current interpretation of the Antideficiency Act requires that the federal government begin a \"\"shutdown\"\" of the affected activities involving the furlough of non-essential personnel and curtailment of agency activities and services. Since 1976, when the current budget and appropriations process was enacted, there have been twenty gaps in budget funding, eight of which led to federal employees being furloughed. Prior to 1990, funding gaps did not always lead to government shutdowns, but since 1990 the practice has been to shut down the government for all funding gaps. Shutdowns have also occurred at the state, territorial and local levels of government. During the Ronald Reagan administration, there were three funding gaps leading to shutdowns lasting one day or less. A funding gap in 1990 during the George H. W. Bush administration caused a weekend shutdown. During the Bill Clinton administration, there were two full government shutdowns during 1995 and 1996 lasting five and twenty-one days respectively, based on disagreement on whether to cut government services, leading to furloughs and significant disruption. During the Barack Obama administration, a government shutdown occurred during October 1–16, 2013. The primary dispute was the Republicans' desire to delay or defund the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare. ["

Regular government operations resumed October 17 after an interim appropriations bill was signed into law. During the shutdown, approximately 800,000 federal employees were indefinitely furloughed, and another 1.3 million were required to report to work without known payment dates. Only those government services deemed \"\"excepted\"\" under the Antideficiency Act were continued; and only those employees deemed \"\"excepted\"\" continued to report to work. [ 2] The previous U. S. federal government shutdown was in 1995–96. [ 3] [4] The 16-day-long shutdown of October 2013 was the third-longest government shutdown in U. S. history, after the 18-day shutdown in 1978 and the 21-day 1995–96 shutdown. A \"\"funding-gap\"\" was created when the two chambers of Congress failed to agree to an appropriations continuing resolution. The Republican -led House of Representatives, in part encouraged by conservative senators such as Ted Cruz [5] and conservative groups such as Heritage Action, [6] [7] [8] offered several continuing resolutions with language delaying or defunding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as \"\"Obamacare\"\"). The Democratic -led Senate passed several amended continuing resolutions for maintaining funding at then-current sequestration levels with no additional conditions. Political fights over this and other issues between the House on one side and President Barack Obama and the Senate on the other led to a budget impasse which threatened massive disruption. ["

These involuntary furloughs may be short or long term, and many of those affected may seek other temporary employment during that time. Contents [ hide ]1 Federal government1.1 Potential furlough in 20111.2 Furloughs in 20132 Schools3 Private sector4 Other uses5 See also6 References7 External links Federal government [ edit]In the United States, involuntary furloughs concerning federal government employees may be of a sudden and immediate nature. Such was the case in February 2010, when a single Senate objection prevented emergency funding measures from being implemented. As a result, 2,000 federal workers for the Department of Transportation were immediately furloughed as of March 1, 2010. [ 1] The longest such shutdown was December 16, 1995, to January 6, 1996, which affected all non-essential employees, shutting down many services including National Institutes of Health, visa and passport processing, parks, and many others. This happened again on October 1, 2013, [2] and on January 19, 2018. The United States Congress failed to pass a re-authorization of funding for the Federal Aviation Administration, and as a result, furloughed about 4,000 workers at midnight on July 22, 2011. Potential furlough in 2011 [ edit]Congress was on the verge of forcing a government shutdown on April 8, 2011, if their plan to reduce the federal budget deficit was not resolved, which would have caused the furlough of 800,000 out of two million civilian federal employees.

The Internal Revenue Service could stop issuing refund checks. Customs and Border Patrol agents training officials in Afghanistan might have to come home. And thousands of government-issued Black Berrys would go silent. This is what a government shutdown might look like. With budget talks between Republicans and Democrats far from resolution, official Washington braced on Tuesday for a replay of the Great Government Shutdowns of 1995 and 1996. For weeks, the Obama administration has been quietly examining the experience of the mid-1990s as a kind of shutdown survival guide. Now those preparations have kicked into high gear. The White House Office of Management and Budget directed the heads of federal agencies on late Monday to share contingency plans with senior managers. On Capitol Hill, the chairman of the Committee on House Administration warned “nonessential employees” on Tuesday to turn off their Black Berrys during a shutdown, or risk punishment for working while on furlough."

There was little emotion or joy as they brought to a close almost a decade of American military intervention. Remaining after the final jet transport lifted off from Tan Son Nhut air base at 5:53 P. M. were about 800 Americans on the truce observation force who will leave tomorrow and Saturday. A contingent of 159 Marine guards and about 50 military attaches also stayed behind. The fighting men were gone, but United States involvement in South Vietnam was far from ended. When Gen. Frederick C. Weyand presided over the furling of the colors of the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, this afternoon, he told a handful of American servicemen, \"\"You can hold your heads up high for having been a part of this selfless effort. \"\" In a second address later on in the afternoon, delivered in halting Vietnamese, General Weyland declared: \"\"Our mission has been accomplished . I depart with a strong feeling of pride in what we have achieved, and in what our achievement represents. \"\" As the last American commander in Vietnam said good-bye to the huge white tropical building that was sometimes called Pentagon East, a force of 7,200 American civilians employed by the Department of Defense was standing under the eaves. A majority of these civilians are technicians who are already at work with the South Vietnamese armed forces, trying to fill the gap in special skills that the Vietnamization program has been unable to provide."

And at a time when the economy's finally showing signs of life, that could be troubling. Shutdowns don't come cheap. Federal agencies have to use up time, energy and resources to plan for one. Shutting down and then reopening the government also costs money. According to the Congressional Research Service, the two previous shutdowns -- in late 1995 and early 1996 -- cost the country $1.4 billion.

C. area -- and throughout the country -- returned to work Thursday after President Obama signed a bill Wednesday night to reopen the government. The Office of Management and Budget made the announcement late Wednesday, explaining that employees should return to work on their next scheduled work day. But news that they could go back to work answered only one of the many questions posed by federal workers as the shutdown ended. Here's what we know now about this compromise plan, and what it means for federal workers and contractors. Do you have a question that we haven't addressed? Email us here and we'll try to get an answer. Q: What is in the proposal that was voted on Wednesday night? A: The deal funds the federal government through Jan. 15 and extends the government's ability to borrow money through Feb. 7. It also calls for a conference committee to meet to hash out the more difficult questions of how much to spend and on what -- including whether Congress should continue to fund the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

October 1, 2013By MICHAEL FALCONEMichael Falcone More from Michael »Follow @michaelpfalcone Share By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone)NOTABLESHUNKER DOWN: This government shutdown could go considerably longer than anticipated, according to ABC's JONATHAN KARL. Just a few days ago, key players in both parties assumed there would be no shutdown and even if it did happen, so the thinking went, it would only last a matter of hours or, at most, a day or two. It now appears likely the shutdown will drag on all week - and potentially beyond that. The White House is preparing for the possibility that President Obama's planned trip next week (he is scheduled to leave Saturday) to Asia will need to be canceled. If this drags on into next week, and it easily could, the shutdown will be overshadowed by the far bigger problem: the prospect of US government default on October 17. Republicans seem to think Democrats will be forced into one big negotiation on both issues. There is no indication whatsoever that the White House will budge from its firm no-negotiation position on either one. HAPPENING TODAY: With government departments and agencies officially in shutdown mode Tuesday morning, the warring parties on Capitol Hill appear just as entrenched as they did when the standoff started, ABC's JEFF ZELENY, JOHN PARKINSON and MICHAEL FALCONE note. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has called the Senate back into session at 9:30 a.m., but the Democrats signaled no changes to their strategy of holding firm against any changes to President Obama's signature health care law."

It’s a likely scenario since there are just a few more working days for lawmakers to come to an agreement and there’s no sign of that in sight. Here’s what you need to know about how a government shutdown could affect you. What’s a Government Shutdown and Why Is This Happening? Without an approved budget plan, government agencies will no longer have access to federal funds come October 1st. Effectively, it’s like a business not having any cash flow and being forced to put up “Sorry we’re closed” signs. If a government shutdown happens, some government services will continue to operate thanks to the Antideficiency Act (nice name, right? ), which allows “essential” government services—such as the military and air traffic control—to keep operating even without authorized funds. A great many government functions, however—from national parks and federally funded scientific research to the FDA’s inspection of food and approval of new prescription drugs—will come to a halt during the shutdown furlough until Congress can come to a resolution. The FDA Isn't Inspecting Food During The Government Shutdown E-coli outbreaks crop up every now and then."

The below summary helps to explain the process.15 July 2014 Matt Hourihan Tweet R&D Budget Analysis It's useful to think of the federal budget cycle in four phases. The first phase is agency planning; the second phase covers budget review by the Office of Management and Budget. These two phases together amount to the President's budget formulation. A third phase is the Congressional appropriations cycle; and the fourth and final phase is the execution of the budget by the agencies starting October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year. Altogether, it takes the machinery of government well over two years to formulate, appropriate, and execute a single fiscal year's budget. That means three budgets are in play at any given time. For instance, at the time of this writing, agencies are executing their FY 2014 budgets; Congress is grappling with FY 2015 appropriations; and federal agencies are already planning for FY 2016. Steps in the process are described below. THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET FORMULATIONThe most public portion of the cycle is the Congressional process, typically beginning in the spring before the fiscal year starts."

For 20 days in July 2011, the Minnesota state government shut down, according to a state report . Nearly 200,000 staff hours were redirected from normal duties to preparation for and recovery from the shutdown. And more than a million pieces of correspondence were sent out at a cost of $552,000. The fiscal effects of the shutdown were in dispute. While the shutdown cost the government at least $60 million in lost revenues and additional costs, the state also saved $65 million in compensation it didn’t have to hand out, according to the report.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Science-based medicine\"\" redirects here. For the website, see Science-Based Medicine. Evidence-based medicine ( EBM) is an approach to medical practice intended to optimize decision-making by emphasizing the use of evidence from well-designed and well-conducted research. Although all medicine based on science has some degree of empirical support, EBM goes further, classifying evidence by its epistemologic strength and requiring that only the strongest types (coming from meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials) can yield strong recommendations; weaker types (such as from case-control studies) can yield only weak recommendations. The term was originally used to describe an approach to teaching the practice of medicine and improving decisions by individual physicians about individual patients. [ 1] Use of the term rapidly expanded to include a previously described approach that emphasized the use of evidence in the design of guidelines and policies that apply to groups of patients and populations (\"\"evidence-based practice policies\"\"). [ 2] It has subsequently spread to describe an approach to decision-making that is used at virtually every level of health care as well as other fields ( evidence-based practice ). Whether applied to medical education, decisions about individuals, guidelines and policies applied to populations, or administration of health services in general, evidence-based medicine advocates that to the greatest extent possible, decisions and policies should be based on evidence, not just the beliefs of practitioners, experts, or administrators. It thus tries to assure that a clinician 's opinion, which may be limited by knowledge gaps or biases, is supplemented with all available knowledge from the scientific literature so that best practice can be determined and applied. It promotes the use of formal, explicit methods to analyze evidence and makes it available to decision makers."

The program's services and resources are designed to foster stable family relationships, enhance children's physical and emotional well-being, and establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills. The transition from preschool to elementary school imposes diverse developmental challenges that include requiring the children to engage successfully with their peers outside the family network, adjust to the space of a classroom, and meet the expectations the school setting provides. [ 1]Launched in 1965 [2] by its creator and first director Jule Sugarman, Head Start was originally conceived as a catch-up summer school program that would teach low-income children in a few weeks what they needed to know to start elementary school. The Head Start Act of 1981 [3] expanded the program. [ 4] The program was revised when it was reauthorized in December 2007."

WDAG for Microsoft Edge is the strongest form of isolation today, and now with the recently released Windows 10 version 1709, also known as the Fall Creators Update, users of Windows 10 Enterprise can run the Microsoft Edge browser in a fully isolated hardware environment. Doing so provides the highest level of protection against zero-day exploits, unpatched vulnerabilities, and web-based malware. The WDAG container provides a temporary, contained environment for users to experience the Internet."

At that point, an insurance company may offer a graded benefit whole life insurance policy. What Is Graded Benefit Whole Life Insurance? Death Benefit In a graded death benefit policy, the death benefits are not level. Policyholders will be paid a certain percentage of the death benefit if death should occur in year one, a larger percentage if death occurs in year two, and so on. By year five, most graded death benefits have reached a level death benefit. Premiums Premiums for graded death benefit policies are generally higher than those for standard policies since the policyholder presents greater risk to the insurance company. Even though the death benefit is not level, premiums are. Cash Values When buying a graded death whole life insurance policy, your policy will accrue cash value at a fixed rate for the life of the policy."

"text": "The Many Benefits of an Employer Tuition Reimbursement Program & Policy By Matt Breed Posted in: College & Education Share Tweet Pin 1 Comments 1Having spent far too much time away from school, last year I finally decided to return to improve my skills and make myself more marketable in the job market. My first attempt, fresh out of high school was less than impressive. I spent way too many hours playing with my friends and not nearly enough time hitting the books. It happens to lots of us, but not everyone gets the opportunity to return and has the courage to take it. That’s why I could not be happier that my employer is kind enough to offer tuition reimbursement. Without it, I’m not sure I would even be back in school at all. What is Tuition Reimbursement? Just as it sounds, tuition reimbursement is something that many employers offer as a way to pay back employees for education expenses. Those who choose to participate still have to pay out of pocket for the courses they take. When the course is over, the employee can get back some or all of the tuition expenses."

"text": "Economic Goals and Measuring Economic Activity — Goals Simulation//////////////////////Lesson Purpose: As we move into macro-economics, the study of the operations of the economy as a whole, it is important to remember that scarcity extends beyond the decision-making of individuals in households and businesses. Government officials, citizens, and public workers also have limited resources to satisfy a burgeoning list of wants and needs, and the reality is that in public life, as in private life, choices have opportunity costs. Public choices, like private choices, are driven by goals. Through government, we establish economic goals and design policies to achieve them. Because we have multiple national economic goals and because individuals’ ranks and weightings of goals vary with time and circumstance, policy creation is an ongoing process of making trade-offs. This lesson creates a framework for study of macro-economic topics by identifying national economic goals and then engaging students in a consensus-building exercise in which they must prioritize goals in a variety of policy contexts. In combination with lessons 7-12, it offers a model for organizing and tying together macroeconomic topics in the high school classroom. Key Terms:scarcity trade off opportunity costmacroeconomics marginal Content Standards: Standard 1: Students will understand that Productive resources are limited. Therefore, people cannot have all the goods and services they want; as a result, they must choose some things and give up others.

In the past, family members would simply pool their funds or would be able to pay for services over time. Today, however, the average cost of a funeral can exceed $7,000, and most funeral homes require payment in full at the time that their services are rendered. As everybody will be faced with the cost of a funeral at some point, preplanning can be a helpful way to deal with expenses. Two of the most common types of preplanning include purchasing either a life insurance or burial insurance policy and in this article we help you compare the benefits of burial insurance vs. life insurance. Both types of insurance provide you with financial stability and support upon the death of the policy holder, but how do they differ, and how are they difference? Most importantly, which type of insurance is best for you? How Burial Insurance Works Burial insurance is a type of life insurance policy that is used specifically to pay for funeral services and other related costs. This type of insurance policy may also be referred to as funeral insurance or final expense life insurance. These policies are available for purchase until age 80, and typically cover the insured individual through age 100, and they will usually pay benefit amounts of between $5,000 and $25,000; although some policies offer higher sums."

Since there are different reasons why a senior over 65 needs life insurance; whether it’s to cover the remaining balance on a mortgage, protect their income while they’re still working or to take care of final expense costs, it’s important to choose the right company and policy to properly address the senior’s particular needs. Best Life Insurance Companies for Seniors Over 65Since there are a few different choices on which policy to buy, let’s take a look at them one-by-one to help you choose the right policy and company for you in 2014. Term Life Insurance Term life insurance provides life insurance protection for a designated period of time and it is the cheapest option (most coverage for the lowest price). The term lengths available at the age of 65 are typically 10, 15 or 20 years. ( The longer the term the higher the premiums.) A great benefit feature that is built in to most term life insurance policies is what is called a conversion option. This allows the insured to covert a portion or all of the term life insurance coverage over to permanent life insurance. Every company has different conversion rules but most require it to be done before the age of 70. ( Be sure to check the policy and ask your agent before purchasing it about the conversion rules of your policy. )"

It is a codified practice of Anglo-Saxon or Norman (depending upon your expert) common law. \"\" The grand jury is supposed to function as a body of neighbors who aid the state in bringing criminals to justice while protecting the innocent from unjust accusation,\"\" according to Consumer Law. All but two states and the District of Columbia use grand juries to indict, according to the University of Dayton law school; Connecticut and Pennsylvania have retained the investigating grand jury. A subset of these states, 23, require that grand jury indictments be used for specific crimes; Texas is in this subset. What is a Grand Jury A grand jury is a group of citizens, usually chosen from the same pool as trial jurors, that is sworn in by a court to hear a case. The grand jury is composed of not less than 12 and not more than 23 persons; and in the Federal courts, the number shall not be less than 16 nor more than 23. Grand juries differ from trial juries (which consist of 12 jurors) in other significant ways: Unlike trial juries, grand juries can indict with only a majority (not unanimous) vote. Trial juries decide whether a defendent is guilty or not guilty of a crime. A grand jury listens to evidence and decides if someone should be charged with a crime."

Theproclamation said that a person could not be tried as a criminal unless a certain number of localcitizens appeared in court to accuse him or her of specific crimes.

"text": "A grand jury is composed of a group of individuals whose main purpose is to determine whether to issue an indictment against an individual. This process of determining whether or not to issue an indictment is commonly known as a grand jury investigation. During a grand jury investigation, the grand jury makes no decision or conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of an individual. It only determines whether there is probable cause, or enough evidence to suggest, that an individual may have committed a crime. Grand juries are often selected from a similar pool of citizens as trial juries, also known as petit juries, although grand juries usually consist of more members and typically convene for a longer duration of time than trial juries. A grand jury investigation usually consists of the prosecuting attorney presenting evidence and questioning witnesses in an effort to make the case to the grand jury that an indictment should be issued. Members of the grand jury are also allowed to ask questions of the witnesses. One of the hallmarks of the grand jury process is secrecy; during questioning of the witnesses, the person being investigated and his attorney are generally not present. This is to ensure that witnesses feel free to provide honest and open testimony, without the fear of retribution. Ad Once all of the evidence has been presented and all the witnesses have been questioned, the investigation enters the deliberation process."

A person can serve on a grand jury in Harris County if he or she:ü is a citizen of Harris County, Texas, and qualified to vote in Harris County;ü is of sound mind and good moral character;ü is able to read and write;ü has never been convicted of misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü is not under indictment or other legal accusation for misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü is not on probation for misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü has not served as a grand juror in the last year;ü is not related within the third degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity to any person selected to serve or serving on the same grand jury;ü is not a complainant in any matter to be heard by the grand jury during the term of court for which he has been selected as a grand juror. How is a grand jury selected? Prospective grand jurors will be selected and summoned in the same manner as for the selection of panels for trial cases in the district courts. From among those prospective grand jurors who are summoned, the court impanels twelve (12) grand jurors and four (4) alternate grand jurors to serve. The law requires courts to impanel grand jurors who are “randomly selected from a fair cross section of the population of the area served by the court. ”This means that even if the court summons you, you may or may not be selected to serve."

"text": "Difference between Grand Jury and Trial Jury Tweet Key Difference: The function of a grand jury is to conduct official proceedings by hearing the evidence and there seems to be enough evidence then a case will be formed. This case will then be tried in the courts in front of a trial jury. A trial jury is the one that hears the evidence against a defender from both the defender’s attorney and the prosecutor and decides whether or not the defender is guilty. The legal system can be a complicated one, especially for a layman. There are a variety of terms and processes involved that can make a person feel helpless or tricked by the system. While, one cannot hope to fully understand the United States legal system, one can master the basis so that they don’t feel useless. The function of the U. S. Courts is to ‘administer justice fairly and impartially, within the jurisdiction established by the Constitution and Congress.’ In order to effectively do this, the courts take the help of juries. A jury is a group of people that are selected from the regular citizens. The benefit of using a jury is that they are an unbiased group of people as they do not know the defendant and are not that well versed in the technicalities of law."

Responding incorrectly to a federal grand jury subpoena for your testimony or documents, or your company's documents, can have disastrous consequences. Here are 10 critical things to know about federal grand juries and federal grand jury subpoenas.1. FEDERAL GRAND JURY BASICS: STRUCTURE AND POWER. Federal grand juries have a maximum of 23 members, 16 of whom must be present to form a quorum. Indictments are returned by a vote of 12 or more members. Federal grand juries typically sit for a term of 18 months and meet at regular intervals. Although federal judges empanel federal grand juries and formally supervise them, these judges do not usually interfere with federal grand jury investigations. The federal prosecutor, or Assistant United States Attorney (\"\"AUSA\"\"), is the primary government official interacting with the federal grand jury."

"text": "Originally Answered: How can you describe the difference between grand and petit jury? Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of the English Language defined juries as: “A number of freeholders, selected in the manner prescribed by law, empanneled and sworn to inquire into and try any matter of fact, and to declare the truth on the evidence given them in the case. Grand juries consist usually of twenty four freeholders at least, and are summoned to try matters alledged in indictments. Petty juries, consisting usually of twelve men, attend courts to try matters of fact in civil causes, and to decide both the law and the fact in criminal prosecutions. The decision of a petty jury is called a verdict. ”When most people today think of a jury, they think of a petit jury (sometimes also referred to as a trial jury). This is a group of six to 12 jurors who listen to the entire trial, either criminal or civil, and deliberate together once argument concludes. They deliver a verdict after deciding whether or not a criminal defendant is guilty, or after deciding legal responsibility in the case of a civil trial. In criminal trials, a petit jury must find proof beyond a reasonable doubt to deliver a verdict of Guilty. The jury’s verdict in civil cases relies on a lower standard such as preponderance of evidence to find for either party."

"text": "Topic: LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS; DEATH; SELF DEFENSE; Location: POLICE;February 1, 20082008-R-0074USE OF DEADLY FORCE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERSBy: George Coppolo, Chief Attorney You asked what procedures Connecticut law requires to be followed when a law enforcement officer uses a deadly weapon that causes someone ' s death. SUMMARYThe law requires the Division of Criminal Justice to investigate whenever a law enforcement officer, while performing his or her duties, uses deadly physical force that causes someone ' s death. It must also determine whether the officer ' s use of deadly physical force was appropriate under standards established by statute and submit a report of its findings and conclusions to the chief state ' s attorney. The division is a state executive branch agency headed by the chief state ' s attorney, and is in charge of the investigation and prosecution of all criminal matters in the Superior Court. The statutory standards allow an officer to use deadly physical force when the officer reasonably believes it is necessary to (1) defend himself or herself or a third person from the use or imminent use of deadly physical force or (2) arrest or prevent the escape of someone the officer reasonably believes has committed or attempted to commit a felony involving the infliction or threat of serious physical injury, and, if feasible, the officer has given warning of his or her intent to use deadly physical force. If the division concludes it cannot adequately investigate the incident, the chief state ' s attorney, or a state ' s attorney may apply to a panel of judges selected by the chief justice for the appointment of an investigatory grand jury to investigate the circumstances of the death. The appointment is discretionary and will happen only if:1. other normal investigative procedures (a) have been tried and have failed, (b)reasonably appear to be unlikely to succeed if tried, or (c) are too dangerous to employ or2. due to the specific nature of the alleged crime or the nature of the investigation, it is reasonable to conclude that the use of normal procedures would not result in obtaining information that would advance the investigation or would fail to secure and preserve evidence or testimony that might otherwise be compromised. The investigatory grand jury must submit its finding to court within 60 days after completing its investigation."

Grand juries make the initial decision to indict--formally accuse--a criminal defendant and require him or her to stand trial. Grand jury indictments are required for all federal felonies. About half the states have some sort of grand jury hurdle too. Grand jurors are ordinary citizens who listen to the prosecutor questioning witnesses. Unlike a trial, a Grand Jury proceeding is private, and there is no cross examination or presentation of the defense case. In fact, witnesses may not even have a lawyer present during questioning."

Catch Seema Iyer, Esq. online tackling legal questions every Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET on msnbc.com . What’s the difference between a grand jury and a regular jury? A grand jury (12 to 23 people) is a body that investigates criminal conduct. Federal, state and county prosecutors utilize grand juries to decide whether probable cause exists to support criminal charges. A regular jury (6 to 12 people) – aka a petit jury – hears only trial cases. A regular jury decides the facts. The judge presiding over the trial decides the law."

"text": "What's the Difference Between a Grand Jury and a Trial Jury? Download article as a PDFAlthough grand juries and trial juries are both made up of average people who were called for jury duty, they serve very different purposes. A grand jury determines whether charges should be brought against a suspect, while trial juries give a decision about whose facts they believe in the trial itself. What Is a Grand Jury? A grand jury helps the prosecutor decide whether to bring criminal charges against a suspect in a crime. Grand juries typically consist of 23 people, and the jurors may have jury duty for months at a time. However, jurors will have to work only a few days out of the month. Grand juries will work closely with the prosecutor, who will explain the law to the jurors. The jurors then have the power to view almost any kind of evidence they wish and to interrogate anyone they like. The procedure for grand jury hearings is very relaxed to allow the jurors as much flexibility as possible."

Janell Level 1 (Contributor)2 Answers\"\"Much house you can afford take your annual salary and multiply it by 3.5...\"\"1 1 The good news if you are a prudent borrower with your salary you should be able to find a nice home to live in. Banks used a 28/36 front to back end ratio when they consider whether to lend to a prospective borrower. This means that you should be spending more than 28% of your gross pay on your housing costs and your total debt should not cost more than 36% of your gross pay. To work out how much house you can afford take your annual salary and multiply it by 3.5 times, this will give you the high end in how much house you can afford. Ratchet that number down to be more strict on yourself. Now, assuming you do use 3.5x you should be able to afford a house that costs: $252,000. If you live in the US this is well above the $180,000 national average. If you live in Canada the average is in the $344,000 range right now so that`s a little below but if you live in a small urban center or rural community that will still buy a nice home. Breaking down the costs assuming you use a 10% down payment (should use 20%) you will need to borrow $226,800 from a bank."

Some companies find it useful to establish specific real estate tiers as part of their packages. Real estate tiers feature different options that may incentivize employees to sell their homes more quickly or give them a guarantee that they won't be stuck paying an old mortgage long after they've moved to their new location Guaranteed Buyout Program Sample real estate tiers may include executive level home sale assistance and a Guaranteed Buyout (GBO) program. Executive level home sale assistance is typically reserved for high-level executives. It involves providing a buyout offer after a home has been on the market for a certain length of time. This gives your high-level executives the assurance that they can confidently purchase a new home without the constant worry of whether their old home will ever sell. To offer a buyout option, your company needs to be prepared to be responsible for the costs associated with carrying a home in inventory until resold. This isn't the optimal situation, but it could be well worth it if it helps increase the productivity of a strategic employee. Buyer Value Option Program For mid-level employees, you may consider offering a Buyer Value Option (BVO) program, which offers similar advantages to a GBO once an outside buyer has been identified. This option often focuses on providing employees with sufficient marketing support they need to sell their homes."

"text": "The Tangible & Intangible Characteristics of An Exceptional Executive Assistant I’m convinced that what sets the exceptional executive assistant apart from the good, or even the very good assistant, are the intangible traits. Many executives I interviewed for my new book The CEO’s Secret Weapon How Great Leaders and Their Assistants Maximize Productivity and Effectiveness told me that in addition to the tangible skills such as computer literacy and organizational skills, they were looking for those skills that can’t be taught. Of course, they were referring to what I call “the intangibles”, qualities such as values, loyalty and good instincts. Exceptional assistants possess these intangible traits that yield spectacular results and give them what seems to be an unfair advantage in getting the job done, resolving a problem, or averting a crisis. I used to think that exceptional assistants were born that way. And I still believe that those innate capabilities that they bring to the role are not easily duplicated, which is why an assistant with these traits is so valuable. But over time, as I trained assistants and helped them develop their strengths, I realized that many of these characteristics can be developed. When combined with what can’t be taught – the intangibles – you have the makings of an exceptional executive assistant who can function as the executive’s valuable business partner. Desirable tangible and intangible qualities an exceptional executive assistant will possess include: Anticipating The Boss’ Needs: This was the first characteristic mentioned by every assistant I interviewed for the book as being the most desirable in an exceptional executive assistant. Not surprisingly, it was the first characteristic selected by most executives as well."

Some examples of what a consultant can help with: 1) growth and development, 2) turning the organization around when it gets stuck in its own history and policies, 3) assistance in designing a resource development or strategic plan. Working with an experienced and skilled consultant can be a special time for the organization to look inward and explore how it can become more effective and efficient. However, it is important that the organization carefully selects the consultant to “fit the skills and cultural issues” that are central to the success of the organization. You want to spend your money wisely and get the greatest return on your investment. Let’s look at some of the qualities that are necessary when you are interviewing and hiring a top notch consultant: Does the consultant have non-profit experience? There are many consultants who work for both for-profit and non-profit organizations. It is important that the person you hire has worked extensively in the non-profit sector, as this sector has challenges and issues that for-profits do not face. Cultural sensitivity.

This is basically the page I wish existed for books I wanted to get into more detail on. This deep dive focuses on The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. The greatest take-away for me after reading this book was being able to give these issues a name. These dysfunctions are pervasive in all kinds of organizations (corporate, nonprofit, and even small groups). It is difficult to pin point the root cause of the problems we see, but this book does just that. By identifying the dysfunctions by name, leaders can now be on the lookout for them and learn to address the root causes that keep teams from reaching their full potential. The best way to utilize this resource page is by first reading the book, and then coming here to go more in-depth."

By Kellen Mc Killop, January 12, 2015One minute you’re making sure the CEO is prepared for his meeting with investors and offering your opinion on what he should say, the next you’re sorting through mail and fielding phone calls. You’re definitely not limited to one type of task and there’s no doubt that without you the office would come to a screeching halt. So, who are you? The administrative assistant. Being an administrative assistant: this job is not what you think Okay, wait. What?

Their math teacher had suffered a heart attack and would not be returning to teach—that was the bad news. The worse news was that her replacement did not know calculus. If the students wanted to continue to study calculus, they would have to teach it to themselves. Three of the students decided the task was hopeless. The other three stuck it out.

"text": "An executive assistant devotes his or her career to aiding a corporate official, usually by providing a combination of professional advice and administrative support. While the responsibilities associated with the work vary depending on the culture that prevails in a given company, there are a few basic tasks that all assistants perform. Most of these are related to secretarial work, scheduling, and contacts management. Many executives treat their assistants as their go-to people for ideas, recommendations, and confidential help, and they assist with everything from photocopying to press briefings. Hierarchy Companies with executive assistants typically assign one assistant per executive. The assistant is responsible for handling tasks that are delegated by the executive who serves as his or her immediate supervisor. In many cases, assistants have desks just outside their executives’ offices, so as to be as accessible as possible. Executive assistants typically answer to only their named superior. They act as this person’s confidante and office helper. Anything that the executive needs done, the assistant does."

You will discover that:- the Macro Recorder is not only a recorder but it is the best teacher and it will be a great assistant (writing code for you) even when you become an expert at programming in VBA.- the Visual Basic Editor is the most user friendly development environment that tells you immediately if there are mistakes in your sentences so that you do not have to wait at the end of your project to realize that something that you have written is wrong.- in the Visual Basic Editor you will create these powerful and useful userforms- in the Visual Basic editor you will test your macros step by step, modify them and improve them. After section 1, you will be able to copy all the macros available on the internet and use them efficiently in your own workbooks Here is a sample of what you will find in chapter 1 of the downloadable Tutorial on Excel macros The Visual Basic Editor in Excel (VBE)When you want somebody to do some work for you, you open your Email program and you send him a message in a language that he understands (English, Spanish, French...). When you want Excel to do some work for you, you open the Visual Basic Editor and you write the instructions in a language that Excel understands VBA ( V isual B asic for A pplication). You will develop, test and modify VBA procedures (macros) in the Excel Visual Basic Editor (VBE). It is a very user-friendly development environment. VBA procedures developed in the VBE become part of the workbook in which they are developed and when the workbook is saved the VBA components (including macros, modules, userforms and other components that you will discover in the next 32 lessons) are saved at the same time. So, when you send the workbook to the \"\"Recycling Bin\"\" the VBA procedures (macros) are destroyed. Notes Special note for users of Excel 2007: Until the 2007 versions of Excel the user did not need to install anything to work with macros in Excel. If you are using Excel 2007 see how to install the Visual Basic Editor for Excel from your Office CD."

Photo: Public Domain The term “New Deal” was coined during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1932 Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech, when he said, “I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.” Roosevelt summarized the New Deal as a “…use of the authority of government as an organized form of self-help for all classes and groups and sections of our country. ”African Americans and the Civilian Conservation Corps The Emergency Conservation Work Act establishing the Civilian Conservation Corps was signed into law by President Roosevelt on March 31, 1933. Under the direction of Robert Fechner, the CCC employed young men between the ages of 17 and 23 in work camps where they were assigned to various conservation projects. Enrollees were paid thirty dollars a month, twenty-five dollars of which was sent home to the enrollee's families. From 1933 to 1942, over three million young men enrolled in the CCC, including 250,000 African Americans who were enrolled in nearly 150 all-black CCC companies. Are We Overlooking the Pursuit of Happiness?\"\"... For the old people who have lived so long a life of independence, how bitter it must be to come for everything they need to the youngsters who once turned to them!From every point of view, it seems to me that the old age pension for people who so obviously could not lay aside enough during their working years to live on adequately through their old age, is a national responsibility and one that must be faced when we are planning for a better future.

The only problem is, there are tons of different methods, and some of them don’t work as well as others. Sometimes the color washes away or chips off, but today I’m sharing my favorite tried and true method for making a DIY Sharpie mug that is totally washable!I made these cute polka dot mugs by drawing polka dots on top of an adhesive sticker, then peeling the sticker away. But you can make these mugs however you want! If you want to use the paint markers to fill in a stencil or draw freehand, they will still turn out great! As long as you use oil-based paint pens and follow the instructions below, you’ll end up with washable DIY Sharpie mugs!Once these mugs are baked, you can definitely hand wash them in warm, soapy water. The paint doesn’t come off if you lightly scratch at it with your nail, and it won’t come off with handwashing either. I have tried these in the top rack of the dishwasher as well, and they were still fine when the dishwasher was done! ( The dishwasher definitely puts more wear and tear on the mug, so I don’t know how well the paint will hold up years from now. For the longevity of the paint, I suggest handwashing the mugs, but if you need to throw them in the dishwasher, they’ll still survive! )"

Kate N. G. Sommers / Heavy Table As always, this list truly calls it as we tasted it — you’ll find no shortage of mixed and negative reviews here. But there’s also plenty of positivity and outright raves, and we always hope that initial stuttersteps may develop into confident strides by day 3 or 4 (and while that’s sometimes the case, we also find, alas, that some stuff that started strong falls apart as the fair wears on. ) The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota is America’s most visited wilderness.

If you already know the answers to all the above questions, we’d love for you to join in the Skype Community and share your Skype knowledge with others. The video call button is pale green and I can’t click it, what’s up with that? In order to complete a video call, Skype needs to be able to establish a connection between you and your contact. If Skype can’t do that, the video call button fades to pale green and clicking it does nothing. Usually this is because your contact is either offline or has set their status to invisible."

A furry mystery – the 'Venezuelan poodle moth' (© Dr Arthur Anker, aka artour_a/Flickr) As cryptozoology enthusiasts will readily testify, just a few weeks ago the internet was awash with dazzling but highly deceptive photographs of black lions. Now, the latest animal photo to beguile and bewilder everyone online is this one. On 21 August 2012, Facebook friend David Laslett drew my attention to the eyecatching and exceedingly interesting photograph opening this present Shuker Nature blog post. He explained that the photo had lately appeared all over the internet, and was labelled as 'the Venezuelan poodle moth'. Yet in spite of this insect's memorable name and very unusual appearance, and although he had spent a considerable time online attempting to identify it, David had not been able to find out anything whatsoever concerning it, not even its scientific name – only ever more copies of this same photograph and the same name applied to its furry-limbed, white-winged subject. Greatly intrigued, David asked me if I knew this moth's species and whether I could trace any information regarding it. And so, without further ado, and as Sherlock Holmes might well have said in such a situation, the game was afoot! I love a challenge!! It was a species that I'd never seen before, so I spent quite a time researching its photograph, its name, and its supposed provenance (Venezuela) online, but, just as David had reported, nothing!"

"text": "Diagnosis TCM Offers a Different Way to Diagnose Your Health In Chinese Medicine texts, there is no discussion of diseases or disorders as we know them in the West: If you go to see an herbalist, acupuncturist, or Chinese medicine doctor because you are suffering from chronic migraine, the practitioner may diagnosis you as having Liver Qi Stagnation, Liver Heat, Dampness, Qi and Blood Deficiency or Excess Yang, depending on the signs and symptoms that accompany your headache. If you have nausea, gas, and bloating you may be diagnosed with Deficient Spleen System Qi. What Does It Mean? The practitioner describes the disharmonies in terms of the patterns they manifest. These are known as the Eight Fundamental Patterns: Interior, Exterior; Heat, Cold; Excess, Deficiency; Yin, Yang. These terms are used to describe the way that disharmony is created in the mind/body/spirit. Interior and Exterior patterns tell the practitioner where in the body the disease resides. Interior patterns of disharmony are indicated if the disharmony is chronic, produces changes in urine and stool, if there is discomfort or pain in the torso and no aversion to cold or wind. Exterior patterns of disharmony often come on suddenly and are acute. Common signs include chills, fever, a dislike of cold and an achy feeling overall."

On one end is high quality vodkas like Ketel One and Chopin and on the other you have Aristocrat and Burnetts/Pinnnacle etc. Most Americans are off put by the bite and astringent introduction that Smirnoff presents. The truth is there is a difference in burns and initial flavors. Smirnoff is unique in its consistency all the way through. No awkward mouth feel or even soft calm notes."

It is also widespread throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, and thanks to imports from settlers, they are prevalent in North and South America and Australia. In recent years numbers have been in decline and it is now less common to see flocks of them feeding or chirping from rooftops, although you should have no trouble spotting the house sparrow, especially in urban parks where people feed them. There is an incredible amount of folklore and superstition surrounding these friendly little birds and they are even mentioned in the bible! I'm going to describe how to identify the different types of sparrow, address what we can do about their decline, and discuss how important they have been historically with all the legends surrounding them. The two most common species are the house sparrow and the tree sparrow. The House Sparrow Passer domesticus This is the most common species of sparrow and measures 14-15 cm in length. It is a sociable bird and favours areas of human habitation for nesting and roosting, often living in large flocks on rooftops in cities and in agricultural areas. The adult male has a grey crown, cheeks, and rump. The nape, sides of the crown, back, and wings are chestnut brown, and the underparts are pale grey."

"text": "Types of Pet Birds How Do Parrots Imitate Speech Patterns?by Vivian Gomez Polly wants a cracker. The way parrots can imitate human speech is not only entertaining but also rather remarkable. Parrots lack lips and teeth, yet they have the ability to learn words, phrases and songs and to imitate tone and expression. What they do have is keen hearing and a voice box with a complex structure that allows them to reproduce sounds. The Syrinx Humans have a larynx, and parrots have a syrinx, located between the voice box and the bronchial tubes. The syrinx branches out in two directions, with each branch opening into a bronchus. Air from a parrot's lungs passes through the syrinx, and the parrot is able to use all of the air to produce sound. A parrot can produce sound with one or both sides of the syrinx, and it can produce two tones at the same frequency at the same time. The complexity of the sounds that a parrot produces is affected by his neck muscles, the length of his windpipe and the structure of his beak. Speaking in Tongues Parrots have thick tongues, so they don't need lips to approximate human sounds."

We have decided to order a 2015 Brand X. We have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 4 door Rubicon X. The specs on it say its gross weight is 4,720 lbs. Do you think we can tow the Rubicon behind the Brand X? We keep getting different answers from different dealers. Now, of course, my first thought was, “Heck Yeah! I’m Awesome!” My next thought was, “Wait a minute… These people must not have gotten too far on the internet…” And my third thought was, “How can I thank them for their shameless flattery?”But as I thought about their actual question, it occurred to me that it would be pretty easy to get confused about just how much you can tow, particularly with a smaller motorhome like the one they were considering. I’m not surprised that they got different answers from different dealers either. It really can be confusing."

Let's take a learning tour through the bird, both externally and internally, so that bird owners will have a better idea of the anatomy. In some areas, birds are similar to other animals, and in others, they are absolutely unique. For example, the bird has several unique adaptations that enables it to fly, including feathers, air spaces in bones, a beak in place of teeth and lips and the bones of the hand fused to support flight. The head of the bird contains several structures that may confuse bird owners. The bill or beak is known anatomically as the rostrum. Now bear with me as I use some technical terms to explain common anatomical parts, but I think it's important that you see the scientific terms for the bird's anatomy, even if you won't commit them to memory on sight! The horny sheaths of the upper and lower beak can be called the maxillary rhamphotheca (or rhinotheca) and mandibular rhamphotheca (or gnathotheca ). If you tip the head back, you will see a fleshy area under the lower mandible, and this is called the interramal region or interramal space. The tongue and related structures are nestled in this region."

Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met. ( January 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Although every language is mixed to some extent, [1] by virtue of containing loanwords, it is a matter of controversy whether a term mixed language [2] [3] can meaningfully distinguish the contact phenomena of certain languages (such as those listed below) from the type of contact and borrowing seen in all languages. In other words, a \"\"mixed language\"\" is a language that belongs to more than one language family and it is unclear whether there are any mixed languages, i.e. it is unclear to what extent language mixture, can be distinguished from other mechanisms such as code-switching, substrata, or lexical borrowing. [ 4]In 1861, Max Müller denied \"\"the possibility of a mixed language\"\" [5]. In 1881, William D. Whitney wrote as follows expressing skepticism regarding the chances of a language being proven a mixed language. Such a thing as the adoption on the part of one tongue, by a direct process, of any part or parts of the formal structure of another tongue has, so fas as is known, not come under the notice of linguistic students during the recorded periods of language-history. So far as these are concerned, it appears to be everywhere the case that when the speakers of two languages, A and B, are brought together into one community, there takes place no amalgamation of their speech, into AB; but for a time the two maintain their own several identity, only as modified each by the admission of material from the other in accordance with the ordinary laws of mixture; we may call them Aᵇ and Bᵃ, and not AB. … [ W]e shall doubtless meet now and then with the claim that such and such a case presents peculiar conditions which separate it from the general class, and that some remote and difficult problem in language-history is to be solved by admitting promiscuous mixture. Any one advancing such a claim, however, does it at his peril; the burden of proof is upon him to show what the peculiar coditions might have been, and how they should have acted to produce the exceptional result; he will be challenged to bring forward some hisotircally authenticated case of analogous results; and his solution, if not rejected altogether, will be looked upon with doubt and misgiving until he shall have complied with these reasonable requirements.

"text": "Mimicry Chimpanzees Parrots Birds Animals Why can parrots mimic human speech while other animals like chimpanzees cannot?6 Answers Birdycrazy, Manufacturing Technician (2016-present)Answered Sep 12, 2017I feel that all of the answers so far have not fully answered the question. Most seem to have tried to “correct” the question. So I will give it a go. There are two things necessary in order to produce human speech: an intelligent brain, and appropriate vocal organs. Lets first talk about the brain. There are only 3 types of animals in the world (apes, dolphins, and birds) which are scientifically proven to have high brain capacity and higher order intelligence. What sets these animals apart is the larger frontal lobe of the brain which enables these animals to: recognize patterns, consider the future, solve problems, have a social structures, and have an understanding of language. Most animals act purely on instinct and reactions, but because of the brain structure of these animals, they are able to consider a situation, learn from it, decide what to do, and then maybe change their mind about it. Now just because an animal is able to understand human language doesn’t mean they are physically capable of producing the sounds required of that language. Apes (chimpanzees included) have vocal cords not unlike ours."

In early Tudor times it was a black flat bonnet or cap. Lawyers and judges started wearing wigs around 1680. For 150 year the legal wig was usually of powdered white or grey hair. In 1822, Humphrey Ravenscroft invented a legal wig made of whitish-grey horsehair that did not need frizzing, curling, perfuming or powdering. Black cap for capital punishment Then came the square cap. Right up to the permanent abolition of capital punishment in 1969 judges wore a form of this black cap, on top of their wigs, when passing sentence of death. Wigs and fashion The word wig is short for periwig, derived from the French word for a wig, perruque. Fashion conscious courtiers tried to outdo one another with the size of their wigs. Even to this day, a person who is of particular importance, or thinks he is, is called a ‘bigwig’."

Oral cancer is the sixth most common type of cancer in North America. Canadian statistics reveal that more cases of oral cancer are diagnosed in a year than cervical or ovarian cancer, and more people die from oral cancer in a year than from melanoma or cervical cancer. The good news? Approximately 84 percent of oral cancer cases may detected early by a dental professional. Screening for oral cancer is quick and easy, with no pain or discomfort involved. It’s critical for early diagnosis and prevention. It takes less that five minutes, and can be done by your dental hygienist or dentist at your regular check-up appointment.

"text": "\"Wyoming Alabama Alaska Alabama State Bird - Yellowhammer - Colaptes auratus State Bird of Alabama The yellowhammer, also known as the northern flicker or yellow-shafted flicker, became the official state bird of Alabama in 1927. Soldiers from Alabama were nicknamed “yellowhammers” in the Civil War due to their grey-and-yellow uniforms, which matched the colors of the bird. Alabama soon became known as the “yellowhammer state.” APPEARANCE: The yellowhammer is a medium-sized bird measuring 11 to 14 inches in height and 17 to 21 inches in wingspan. Typical adult weight ranges from 3 to 6 ounces. Plumage is primarily grayish brown with black accents and yellow underwings. The yellowhammer is a member of the woodpecker family. The male is easy to identify by his black mustache. HABITAT: Unlike most woodpeckers, the yellowhammer is migratory and can be found nesting in trees in open areas throughout eastern North America. The yellowhammer has a weaker beak than most woodpeckers and usually pecks out a nest in soft wood from dead or dying trees."

Fearing pneumonia, her parents rushed her to a hospital where she later died. Testing revealed Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare genetic disease, as the cause of death. The condition, an inherited disorder of the immune system known colloquially as \"\"the bubble boy disease,\"\" is present in roughly one in every 40,000 to 70,000 live births in the U. S., according to the National Institutes of Health. But in the Stoltzfus home, the rate is one-in-four. \"\" We have 12 children and three of them ended up having SCID,\"\" Daniel Stoltzfus said. For the Stoltzfuses, their children and thousands of Amish like them, the odds are centuries in the making and rooted in something called the \"\"founder effect. \"\" It exists at the unlikely intersection of random chance and deliberate community planning: The result of generations of intermarriage, genetic drift and the biological bottleneck those factors have spawned. In Lancaster County, where the Stoltzfuses live, the first Amish arrived from Switzerland between 1737 and 1767. They sought to trade the religious schism in Europe at the time for Pennsylvania, William Penn's New Eden of planned tolerance."

Men and boys wear dark-colored suits, straight-cut coats without lapels, broadfall trousers, suspenders, solid-colored shirts, black socks and shoes, and black or straw broad-brimmed hats. Their shirts fasten with conventional buttons, but their suit coats and vests fasten with hooks and eyes. They do not have mustaches, but they grow beards after they marry. The Amish feel these distinctive clothes encourage humility and separation from the world. Their clothing is not a costume; it is an expression of their faith."

( File)Print Email By Christian Alexandersen | [email protected] Email the author | Follow on Twitter on March 27, 2015 at 12:20 PM, updated March 27, 2015 at 1:18 PM0 shares Populations increases in midstate counties, including Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster and York, over the past four years has helped the state show positive growth even though most counties are losing population. The Pennsylvania State Data Center recently released a county-by-county breakdown of U. S. Census Bureau population estimates from 2010 to 2014. The state's population increased by 84,325 residents, or 0.7 percent, over the past four years despite population losses in 42 of 67 Pennsylvania counties, according to John Maurer, with the Pennsylvania State Data Center. In the midstate, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, York and Adams Counties experienced population growths from 2.3 to 0.3 percent. Perry County was the only midstate county to see a decrease. Population decline according to the Pennsylvania State Data Center Christian Alexandersen | [email protected] According to the census data, eight of the top 10 counties in percentage of population growth from 2010 to 2014 were located in southeastern or southcentral Pennsylvania. In contrast, counties in the top 10 in percent population loss over the same period were concentrated in the western part of the state Maurer said population gains and losses are very important to counties. Increases in population means a growing economic base while fewer residents results in less tax revenue for counties. \"\" To have population loss is not an ideal situation and something that can cause a number of issues in a community,\"\" Maurer said."

The word \"\"Dutch\"\" does not refer to the Dutch people or Dutch language, but to the German settlers, known as Deutsch (in standard German) and Deitsch (in the principal dialect they spoke, Palatine German ). Most emigrated to the Americas from Germany or Switzerland in the 17th and 18th century. Over time, the various dialects spoken by these immigrants fused into a unique dialect of German known as Pennsylvania German or Pennsylvania \"\"Dutch\"\". At one time, more than one-third of Pennsylvania's population spoke this language. The Pennsylvania Dutch maintained numerous religious affiliations, with the greatest number being Lutheran or German Reformed, but also with many Anabaptists, including Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterite. The Anabaptist religions promoted a simple lifestyle, and their adherents were known as Plain people or Plain Dutch.

Gy Sgt Title Gunnery Sergeant (last name) Informal: Gunny Paygrade E-7 (Do D Paygrade) OR-7 (NATO Code)Basic Pay $2,875/mo A Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps is a specialized non-commissioned officer who manages firepower and logistics for a company-sized unit of Marines. The rank of Gunnery Sergeant is unique to the Marine Corps, and was introduced in the 19th century. While serving aboard Navy vessels, Marine contingents were expected to help man the ship's weapons in gun crews of four to five marines. The leader of each gun crew was a specialized Marine who trained his gun crew in firing procedure, ammunition handling, and other essential skills. Recognizing the importance of this position, the rank of Gunnery sergeant was introduced and made permanent in 1899. Today, Gunnery Sergeants in the Marine Corps infantry forces serve as fire and operations chief for a full company of 180+ marines. During company operations the company Gunnery sergeant coordinates weapons and indirect fire, manages firepower logistics, and works with the Company Commander on logistics and company operations strategy. Promotion to Gunnery Sergeant requires a great deal of leadership skill and an excellent command of specialized knowledge of weapons systems and combat logistics. Junior Gunnery Sergeants may serve with smaller units of Marines then their more experienced peers, such as a weapons platoon of 30 Marines."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( March 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Pay grades are used by the uniformed services of the United States to determine wages and benefits based on the corresponding military rank of a member of the services. While different titles or ranks may be used among the seven uniformed services, pay grades are uniform and equivalent between the services and can be used to quickly determine seniority among a group of members from different services. They are also essential when determining a member's entitlements such as basic pay and allowances. Pay grades are divided into three groups: enlisted (E), warrant officer (W), and officer (O). Enlisted pay grades begin at E-1 and end at E-9; warrant officer pay grades originate at W-1 and terminate at W-5; and officer pay grades start at O-1 and finish at O-11. Not all of the uniformed services use all of the grades; for example, the Navy and Coast Guard (USCG) do not use the grade W-1 (the USCG also does not use W-5), and the Air Force (USAF) discontinued appointing new warrant officers in 1959 (although the last USAF warrant officer did not retire until 1992). [ 1]Currently, neither the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration nor the Public Health Service (USPHS) use any of the enlisted or warrant officer grades."

A Master Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps holds a top-level rank as a non-commissioned officer in a technical command, such as an information technology, fire control or motor transport unit. A Master Sergeant holds the pay grade of E-8, which is the same as a First Sergeant, but with more focused technical responsibilities. A Master Sergeant earns a lucrative annual salary, plus generous benefits, including full medical, dental, hazardous duty pay and housing allowances in exchange for years of service, skill development, training and experience. Salary The national average salary for a Marine Master Sergeant ranges from $47,041 to $67,097 a year, according to Military Pay Chart. As is the case with all Marine Corps ranks, Master Sergeant salaries usually increase with time in grade and correlative experience. Comparisons Master Sergeant salaries vary with experience, length of service and duty situations that warrant extra pay. For example, a Master Sergeant with 10 years of service will make about $4,093.50 per month in basic pay, while a Master Sergeant with over 20 years will make about $4,847.70. Salaries for Master Sergeants increase automatically when certain time in grade requirements, usually one or two years, are fulfilled. Master Sergeants, like all Marines, rate certain allowances, such as housing, dependent care and food allowances that vary depending on the cost of living in his or her duty station."

"text": "\"By Sgt. Jaboc Harrer, 1st Marine Division The name \"\"Iron Mike\"\" resonates throughout the U. S. military, referencing statues and servicemen who hold a distinguishing legacy. Even the 1st Marine Division, the Corps' oldest and most decorated division has its own Iron Mike, Sgt. Maj. Mike D. Mervosh. The decorated combat veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam still makes appearances around Camp Pendleton, but according to one seasoned sergeant major, he won't be the only one holding the title. No other Marine has spent as much time in 1st Marine Division as Sgt. Maj. Michael L. Kufchak, and he said he will become the division's self-declared \"\"Iron Mike of the 21st Century\"\" after he retires on April 5. With the endurance to put in 80-hour work weeks, a loud and sometimes brash voice, and recent battle scars proving his mettle, Kufchak's proclamation hasn't been contested."

In the United States military, it is one of the four junior enlisted ranks in the U. S. Army, above private first class and equivalent in pay grade to corporal. Unlike corporals, specialists are not considered junior non-commissioned officers (NCOs). Specialist E-4 is the most common rank that is held by US Army soldiers. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 U. S.

S. Army [ edit]Trades and specialties (1902–1920) [ edit]In 1920, the Army rank and pay system received a major overhaul. All enlisted and non-commissioned ranks were reduced from 128 different insignias and several pay grades to only seven rank insignias and seven pay grades, which were numbered in seniority from seventh grade (lowest) to first grade (highest). The second grade had two rank titles: first sergeant, which was three stripes, two rockers, and a lozenge (diamond) in the middle; and technical sergeant, which was three stripes and two rockers. By World War II, the rank of first sergeant had been elevated to first grade and a third rocker was added, with the lozenge in the center to distinguish it from master sergeant. The wearing of specialist badges inset in rank insignia was abolished, and a generic system of chevrons and arcs replaced them. [ 2]Private/specialist (1920–1942) [ edit]From 1920 to 1942, there was a rank designated \"\"private/specialist\"\" (or simply, \"\"specialist\"\") that was graded in six classes (the lowest being sixth class and the highest being first class)."

S. Army sergeant from the 29th Infantry Division in 2011. Sergeant ( abbreviated to Sgt and capitalized when used as a named person's title) is a rank in many uniformed organizations, principally military and policing forces. The alternate spelling, 'serjeant', is used in The Rifles and other units that draw their heritage from the British Light Infantry. Its origin is the Latin serviens, \"\"one who serves\"\", through the French term sergent. The term \"\"sergeant\"\" refers to a non-commissioned officer placed above the rank of a corporal and a police officer immediately below a lieutenant or, in the UK below an inspector. [ 1] [2] In most armies the rank of sergeant corresponds to command of a squad (or section ). In Commonwealth armies, it is a more senior rank, corresponding roughly to a platoon second-in-command. In the United States Army, sergeant is a more junior rank corresponding to a four-soldier fireteam leader."

"text": "Sustainment Battalion Convoy Protection Platform Gunneryby Captain Tiffiney N. Brooks Sustainment units often must provide their own protection for supply convoys but seldom are trained to do so. Using a new convoy protection training circular, the 49th Transportation Battalion (Movement Control) conducted gunnery training before deploying to Afghanistan. On today’s battlefield, sustainment organizations with minimal self-defense capabilities are often exposed to direct combat. These organizations often lack sufficient training to ensure their survivability. Although convoy protection platforms (CPPs) are not new to the military, sustainment units are now beginning to establish and execute doctrine on how to use whatever platforms are available to successfully engage threats. A gunnery crew returns from the range after completing a gunnery table. In April 2010, the Army Combined Arms Support Command released Training Circular (TC) 4–11.46, Convoy Protection Platform Gunnery, which outlines specific training requirements for sustainment units. Although this manual provides sustainment units with a great foundation for training convoy protection crews and certifying convoy protection platforms, it provides little detail regarding the execution of higher-level gunnery tables (GTs), such as section gunnery. TC 3–20.21.1, Individual and Crew Live-Fire Prerequisite Testing, and Field Manual (FM) 3–20.21, Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) Gunnery, complement TC 4–11.46, especially for planning and executing section gunnery (GTs VII to IX). The gunnery program enables sustainment units to train and deploy convoy escort teams (CETs) with CPPs."

This also means that those who have earned higher rank have a special responsibility to look out for the welfare of their subordinates.

Being a good Marine means following orders and looking out for their peers. This is the time for junior enlisted Marines to become productive members of the Corps. Private Upon graduating from basic training young Marines earn the rank of Private (E-1). Most enlisted Marines hold this rank for 6 months before they are promoted to Private First Class.

Leather lunged and ramrod straight, hard drinkers and fighters and spit-and-polish career men. \"\" The above words were spoken by \"\"Mac,\"\" an old salt Marine, the Master Technical Sergeant in the book (later, the movie), Battle Cry, by Leon Uris, 1953. And he was reflecting on the great changes that had taken place affecting his chosen way of life in the Corps with the advent of WW II. Although many of us likely have differing opinions as to just what constitutes the \"\"Old Corps,\"\" I think that most of us here reading this would accept that period between the two world wars as such. Also, I believe it is true that we all initially see all of those Marines who came before us as old corps; but later, after a few, or many, years our perception of that tends to narrow somewhat and we all decide to some degree just what the old corps means to us individually. Our opinions are founded and shaped according to when we entered the Corps, our experiences, etc. And so our own perception of the Old Corps may become both similar and /or dissimilar to one another's. But it is that period of time between the world wars that I would choose for myself as that which best falls into the category of Old Corps--for me, anyway--and it is that period that I would prefer to write about. That era was a time when the Marine Corps was very small (less than 20,000), and career Marines are said to have known most other career Marines, either by sight or reputation."

It has a pay grade of E-7. Contents [ show]Responsibilities Edit A Gunnery Sergeant in the infantry is typically in charge of coordinating logistics for a company-sized group of Marines (approximately 180 personnel.) Junior Gunnery Sergeants usually serve as platoon sergeant for weapons platoons. A U. S. Army Sergeant First Class shares the same pay grade as a Gunnery Sergeant, but not the same responsibilities. A Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant's job is to be the operations chief of a company of Marines. A Sergeant First Class in the Army usually will not have a comparable level of responsibility. The rank of Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps was established by the Navy personnel act of March 3, 1899 (30 Stat. L., 1009). Qualifications Edit The qualifications and selection of Gunnery Sergeants in the \"\"Old Corps\"\" was explained in congressional testimony in 1912: The following qualifications are required for appointment to the rank of gunnery sergeant: A candidate for appointment as gunnery sergeant in the United States Marine Corps should be sufficiently proficient in the drill regulations to thoroughly drill recruits and to drill the squad and company."

It all depends where the bullet enters. A person shot in the brain will likely perceive no pain as the trauma usually renders them immediately unconscious. A bullet entering a limb such as a leg is initially perceived as a hot sting. Within 20 minutes a throbbing, pulsating pain is experienced. At least that is how it felt to me when I was shot in the leg in a hunting accident, 70 miles from the nearest hospital.8 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

A paramedic told me that when she was in training, a patient came in who had been shot in the right upper chest. They ended up finding the bullet not in the back, not even in the other side of the chest, but way down in the right butt cheek, pushing against the skin. In my last post, I covered general gunshot-wound treatment —the basics for survival situations when you can’t get to a doctor. Now, I’ll go into more detail for specific wounds. As I said in the first post, one bullet can cause multiple injuries—both internal and external. Even if you can’t get expert treatment right away, you need to get it as soon as you can. There are some lifesaving things I don’t cover here that you just can’t do outside a hospital. Signs of Internal Bleeding Since you can’t see all the bleeding, it’s important to note the initial vital signs. Warning signs of internal bleeding include: Decreasing alertness Nausea/vomiting Weak pulse Lowering blood pressure, or faster and faster pulse."

Kelley, 26, was also shot in the leg and torso by an armed citizen, said Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety, citing autopsy results. Kelley was found dead in his vehicle. A day after the deadliest shooting in Texas history, the US Air Force and Department of Defense said they are probing why the Air Force did not appropriately relay Kelley's 2012 court martial conviction for domestic assault to civilian law enforcement, as required. Kelley served at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014, according to Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek. He was court-martialed in 2012 for assault on his spouse and assault on their child, according to Stefanek. He served a year in confinement, received a bad conduct discharge and had his rank reduced, she said. \"\" Initial information indicates that Kelley's domestic violence offense was not entered into the National Criminal Information Center database by the Holloman Air Force Base Office of Special Investigations,\"\" an Air Force statement said. Air Force failed to relay info that could have stopped firearm sale to gunman There was nothing in the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System that indicated Kelley should be barred from owning a firearm, said Christopher Combs, the special agent in charge of the bureau's San Antonio division. A federal law enforcement official told CNN that federal authorities have found no records they were notified of the conviction. \"\""

"text": "U. S. Share What Is a Bump Stock and How Does It Work? UPDATED FEB. 20, 2018Twelve of the rifles the gunman in the Las Vegas mass shooting had in his 32nd-floor hotel room were each modified with a “bump stock,” an attachment that enables a semiautomatic rifle to fire faster. The National Rifle Association announced on Thursday that it would support tighter restrictions on such devices. A “bump stock” replaces a rifle’s standard stock, which is the part held against the shoulder. It frees the weapon to slide back and forth rapidly, harnessing the energy from the kickback shooters feel when the weapon fires. By The New York Times The stock “bumps” back and forth between the shooter’s shoulder and trigger finger, causing the rifle to rapidly fire again and again. The shooter holds his or her trigger finger in place, while maintaining forward pressure on the barrel and backward pressure on the pistol grip while firing. The bump stock is not banned under federal law even though it allows a weapon to fire at nearly the rate of a machine gun without technically converting it to a fully automatic firearm. ( It is illegal for private citizens to possess fully automatic firearms manufactured after May 19, 1986; ownership of earlier models requires a federal license. )“"

Expired July 2005Originally posted May 2004Trauma nursing: Penetrating chest wounds RITA M. BARRY, RN, BSN, CENRITA BARRY is a nurse manager at Pennsylvania State University Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa. KEY WORDS: penetrating chest injuries, hemothorax, pericardial tamponade, open pneumothorax (sucking chest wound), tension pneumothorax, Kussmaul's sign, pericardiocentesis When someone has been shot or stabbed in the chest, time is of the essence. Here's what you need to know about the life-threatening complications to look for and the immediate treatment you'll need to initiate. Jump to: The police and an EMS crew respond to a call from a local bar. A 24-year-old man has been shot after getting into a fight with another patron. They arrive to find the victim, Ricky Bennett, conscious and yelling, \"\"I'm dying!\"\" His heart rate is 120, respiratory rate is 40, and blood pressure is 90/60. While transporting Ricky to a Level 1 trauma center, the paramedics give oxygen via a nonrebreather oxygen mask, apply a dressing to his chest wound, and start a 16-gauge IV catheter in each antecubital fossa. Unlike blunt chest injuries, which we covered in March, penetrating chest injuries puncture the muscular chest wall and often directly damage the intrathoracic organs. Gunshot wounds and stabbings are the most frequent causes, but any object capable of piercing the chest wall, such as a nail from a nail gun, can result in a penetrating injury."

Oswald, reacting to a disclosure earlier today in Rochester by Monroe County medical Examiner John F.

The cast of characters is dissatisfied with their lives. Some desire love. Some desire success. Some desire artistic genius. No one, however, ever seems to attain happiness. Scholars have often said that Chekhov’s plays are not plot driven. Instead, the plays are character studies designed to create a specific mood. Some critics view The Seagull as a tragic play about eternally unhappy people. Others see it as a humorous albeit bitter satire, poking fun at human folly."

"text": "New for Your Range First Aid Bag: Xstat Wound Packing Systemby Foghorn |Feb 07, 2014 |64 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email The debate has raged for years as to which is better for a “blowout” kit on a range (one designed to treat gunshot wounds): Celox or tampons. Each camp has their opinions and evidence to back them up. But as with most things in life, there’s a tradeoff when choosing one over the other. Neither is ideal. But a new product being introduced seems to bridge the gap between the two approaches, providing immediate wound-packing to prevent further blood loss as well as giving the blood something to use as a structure around which to form the clots necessary to stop internal bleeding. It’s called the Xstat . . . For those wondering, the argument for the tampon is that it’s a commonly-available cylindrical object that works well when inserted into a gunshot wound and provides some packing material to try and stop the bleeding. While Celox doesn’t pack a would, it’s designed using tiny granules that give the blood a structure to use to start the clotting process, sealing things up pretty quickly. But with the Xstat, you get both the wonders of modern medicine and sanguination-sopping technology in one easy-to-use applicator. From The Verge: Xstat uses small, expandable sponges."

The air friction is quite substantial, the landing velocity, which is reported to be in range 50-200 m/s, is significantly lower than muzzle velocity, which is usually 300-1000 m/s, but the velocity is still high enough to kill."

The Cleveland Clinic laboratory technician is back at work and living on his own, less than 23 months after a robber attacked him and a friend after they left a co-worker’s birthday celebration. His friend, Jeremy Pechanec, 28, died, and Aebly suffered what doctors at first called a “nonsurvivable” injury that crossed both hemispheres of his brain and left bullet fragments lodged in his skull. Aebly not only survived, he rebounded, slowly regaining full ability to see, speak, think and read. Doctors caution that recuperation can vary widely, but Aebly and other victims of gunshot wounds to the head say they’re proof that Giffords can recover from the Jan. 8 tragedy that left six dead and 13 wounded.

"text": "Brett and Kate Mc Kay | November 30, 2015Manly Skills, Tactical Skills What to Do in an Active Shooter Situation It’s a sad fact of life in the 21 st century that active shootings have become a regular occurrence in the United States. In other parts of the world, terrorist groups are using active shootings to, well, terrorize. While the media focuses on the firestorm of political debate these events cyclically create, I’ve rarely seen them discuss what people are actually supposed to do in these situations. According to the FBI, active shootings in public places are becoming increasingly common. Which means it would serve everyone to understand how to respond if they ever find themselves in the line of fire. Over the years I’ve talked to a lot of military, tactical, and law enforcement professionals who’ve spent their careers training and dealing with violent individuals: U. S. marshals, SWAT officers, and special forces operators. And I’ve asked them all this same question: What’s an average joe civilian like me supposed to do when faced with a gunman who’s indiscriminately firing on people? They’ve all answered the same way. In today’s article, I share expert-backed advice on how best to react if you ever find yourself in a situation with an active shooter. Learning how to survive a shooting is much like learning how to survive an airplane crash: such an event is statistically unlikely to happen to you, and simple chance may make you a victim before you’re able to take any volitional action."

Doctors will be anxiously monitoring the pressure inside her skull. Photograph: Charles Dharapak/APIt would seem an immensely improbable thing that someone could survive a gunshot wound to the head.

Gabrielle Giffords's injury explained: Illustration of path of bullet Photograph: guardian.co.uk The bullet that the gunman fired into Gabrielle Giffords's head on Saturday entered the back of her skull on the left hand side and exited at the front. She remains in a critical condition but was able to follow simple commands before surgery, such as holding up two fingers when asked and wiggling her toes. \"\" If [the bullet] had gone lower down into the brain and damaged the areas that affect respiration, then she would have died immediately,\"\" said Tipu Aziz, a neurosurgeon at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. \"\" I understand that, since she is obeying commands even before surgery, the bullet didn't traverse that area of the brain. \"\" In the initial surgical procedure after the shooting, doctors removed gunshot debris and a portion of her skull, to relieve the pressure on the brain as it swells in response to the trauma. \"\" The major reasons for fatalities are really to do with the fact that the brain lives inside a confined box called the skull and, if pressure increases within that confined box, that's what's going to really lead to death,\"\" said Masud Husain, a clinical neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery in London."

What do you need to be aware of and watch for if you suffer one of these injuries? Puncture Wounds: Definition and Description Puncture wounds and lacerations can look the same at the surface of the skin. It's really the depth below the surface and what internal organs or tissues are damaged that matters most. Puncture wounds can be deep or shallow and large or small. Treatment depends on the severity of the puncture wound, and the size and speed of the object creating it. Also, treatment is different based on whether the object that created the puncture is still in the body or was removed. An object that is sticking out of the skin is called an impaled object. A bullet wound is a type of puncture wound created at high speed and often leaves the object still under the surface. Animal bites can also be a form of puncture wound and bring with them the additional complication of potential infection."
